Ponyville / The Mane 6 / Saturday, 9:30 AM

Twilight's PoV

It's been a while since The Crew left Ponyville, pretty much a week now, I sure hope they're alright. Today was a lazy day for me, I was just sitting on my balcony reading a comic book based on The Crew's adventures. They never really tell me anything about their missions because it's tier one special ops they say. I then got bored of the comic book and read an actual book, but instead I got Pinkie Pie in my face.

"Hey Twilight! Look at my snowglobe! Drew just sent me a new one because I broke my old one!" Pinkie shoved her snowglobe in my face, I just rolled my eyes. I had the girls come over to my house so we could go out for a picnic at the park.

"Hey Twilight! Thank you for inviting us to this picnic! I'm starving!" Rainbow said, her mouth was stuffed with a daisy and grass sandwich.

"No problem Rainbow, think nothing of it." I waved it off, staring into the nearby pond.

It looks like Derpy decided to drop in on our little get together, literally. She then gave us a letter from Drew! We let her join our picnic as well, she didn't eat yet.

"Derpy, are you not busy with mail today?" Fluttershy asked, she nodded as she ate few muffins. I then opened the letter Drew sent us as I took a bite of my sandwich.

Dear Girls,

We may not be able to come back for another few days. I'm sorry to say that we've run across some complications while returning civilians to San Prancisco. I can't tell you what that complication is because it's top secret, but what I can tell you is that there's been a robbery of top secret equipment. So to make up for this I've deposited 100,000,000 bits into the vault for your use, and for your use only. And don't use it all in one shopping spree either, or else! Gotcha! I'm just kidding on the "or else," part, but don't spend it all at once, I was serious about that. Rainbow should know the code to gain access to the vault. See you guys in a few days!

The Crew

I wonder what was stolen from them? I hope they can finally stop putting their return off either, I want to see Jhon again too. I read it outloud to my friends, and they all gasped at how much money it was, but that's what happens when your in command of the only special forces in Equestria. Drew never actually used his money so he just practically gave it away to us, he felt like he would rather live an average life than a life of luxury. I just hope they make it home okay, Pinkie started to cry at the news that they're not going to be home for another few days.

"Whoa Twi, that's a lot of zeros." Rainbow exclaimed. She was going to buy front row seats to the Wonderbolts, and I know that for a fact. I was going to restock the library of brand new books with that kind of money, and Drew didn't give a buck about what we did with the money either, which was a good thing, excuse my language.

San Prancisco Research Center / The Crew, Black Bolt (Resistance Leader) / Sunday, 4:00 AM

"Why Black Bolt? Why are you doing this?" I said, kneeling and gripping my exposed, bloody arm. Black Bolt, in the experimental Spartan suit, just gave a maniacal laugh.

"Because, my human friend. Because I AM PISSED AT THE NATIONAL SECURITY! They took my family away from me, they took my home, and they took away my best friends!" He was really pissed off, but how or why would the government would do that to him?

"Can you prove any of this?" Nick asked, breathing heavily after the little skirmish we put up with earlier. He did have proof, he thinks the National Security let in the Griffons, even when it was a complete surprise attack against us.

"No, that didn't happen. They surprise attacked us, the National Security would never let somepony who would threaten a nation inside our borders! What the hell are you talking about?!" Kaptn retorted, we all think he's lost it. Most ponies can't deal with PTSD the way some soldiers can, he lost everything during the occupation and I think it broke him. I think we've finally crossed the line when Nick said, "I don't think your family would approve of this behavior, Black Bolt!" He then charged at us, we fired bullets at him but the shields were too powerful, the magical energy inside of the suit was fully charged, so we couldn't make a dent in the armor. We didn't know what to do, I didn't actually know what we were dealing with here. This suit that Black Bolt acquired is still in it's experimental stage, and we didn't know it's weakness.

"Overlord, come in. We need information on a Prototype X-69/C. Do you have information to shut it down?" I asked over the radio, I knew which prototype it was because it had the number stenciled to the chestplate.

"Yes, we do Delta, it does into lockdown mode when it takes in too much heat." Overlord responded, but this place here was kept fairly cold, how would we be able to heat it up? I just remembered! I had Incendiary Grenades with me! I then tossed a few towards the gas tanks of the Prototype, and they exploded in a great ball of fire, but the heat indication level was only a third full.

"Nick! Take these grenades and throw it at the back of Black Bolt!" I tossed a few Grenades over to him, he caught them one handed. Black Bolt then grabbed a hold onto me, crushing my ribs and basically squeezing me to death. I threw another Incendiary behind him, it blew up and Black Bolt stumbled backwards, I was crawling away as I popped a Tic-Tac in my mouth, easing the pain and regenerating my bones slowly.

" *cough* I'm alright- *cough* " I slowly got back up, Black Bolt's actions have been more than enough to convict him of treason, and 1st degree murder because he killed his own team trying to calm him down. He planned this ever since the Griffons attacked, but now that the Griffons are gone, he's making his move on the government, blaming it on us.

"Black Bolt! Just stop this and you can get out with a 10 years sentence, minimum." Kaptn said, throwing another Incendiary at him, I started to hear creaking in the armor. He refused to get out of the suit, he fired stasis at Kaptn and blew him back 20 feet. Kaptn got back up as if he didn't get hit in the first place, I secretly climbed onto the back of the creaking metal monster and noticed that his shields were down, and he was in lockdown mode.

Without him noticing I plunged my knife into the helmet, hearing a scream of pain and blood covering the inside of the visor. I jumped back as we all left the bunker in slow motion, with the suit exploding in the background, I put on my sunglasses because the explosion was very bright. I wish I would've brought popcorn, because this is what you see in most action movies.

A few days later...

We were finally going back to Canterlot, after finishing up unfinished business out west. We were stuck at San Prancisco for a few days because we went in alone to the bunker. In speaking of the bunker I don't know how Black Bolt found it in the first place, the world will never know now that he's dead. We also had to wait for rescue because we had to finish up clearing the debris from the road, I was out of C-5 so I had to lift rocks with my telekinesis. I said goodbye to Jet Stream, hopefully getting to see her again one day, she was a good friend. Plus, the more connections you have the better, I learned that from the MW3 campaign, because Price has many connections almost everywhere.

"Welcome back gentlemen, and good god you reak!" Shining Armor greeted us in the meeting room, and damn did we smell like a donkey's ass.

"I must say, that is a pungent smell you've acquired Delta." Princess Celestia wasn't so fond of it either. I then cast a spell on myself and the Crew which cleaned us from any smell, or grime covering us.

"Much better, okay now for the debriefing." She gestured to the meeting room. We all sat down at our designated seats, and began discussing details of what happened.

"Sorry for us taking longer princess, but we ran into complications..." She raised an eyebrow, she wasn't informed of anything bad that happened to us.

"You see, Prototype Suit X-69/C had been commandeered by the resistance leader and he tried to use it to try and kill us. We stopped it in the end, but that must've been years of research, gone to waste." I informed her, she nodded as she looked over to Shining Armor.

"We didn't run into any complications princess, everything went accordingly." He said, I just sighed, relieved that it's all over.

"Very well then, I would like to say Mission Clear gentlemen." We then dismissed the quaint meeting as we climbed aboard the train back to Ponyville, which the train station was very close to the Operations Command. Along with the others I fell asleep on the train, knowing it would take a few hours from Canterlot to Ponyville.

We then woke up later, and went to Twilight's house, knowing that that's where they're going to be around this time of day.

"Hello? Anypony home?" I bellowed, Twilight and her friends revealed themselves coming downstairs to greet us, and I just noticed Twilight's Library being stacked high with brand new books.

"Oh hey guys!" She made us collaborate in a group hug, they wouldn't let us leave without one. I then came up to Rainbow and ruffled her mane, she jumped up and kissed me straight on the lips, still a bit awkward but it felt great.

"I missed you Drew." She started nuzzling me, I just chuckled as Pinkie tackled me to the ground, looking as if she was about to cry.

"Drew! I broke the second snowglobe you gave me! I'm so sorry!" She started crying into my chest, cock blocking Rainbow completely.

"Maybe I should stop giving you snowglobes..." I trailed off to think of something, aha!

"Instead, have a little sack of pranking flashbangs!" These were the weak flashbangs I use for pranks, and they aren't harmful to anypony. Pinkie examined it as she pulled the pin on one, making it detonate in her hoof. Once it detonated she started getting woozy and she fell to the ground, dazed, but it only lasted for another good 10 seconds. We all started chuckling and giggling at Pinkie trying out her new toy, and I headed home to go to sleep. Rainbow was already fast asleep on my back, I laid her down next to me as I went to bed myself, I haven't had a good rest since I was in Las Pegasus.

Not sure if you see what I did there, or you're just stupid...
