Act 1-3
Some Complications...

Once they all had reached the Canterlot Armory, Echo Team thought they died and went to Heaven. Their stuff was in pristine condition, even better than they had left it. They were all free of dust and grime and were their original jet black colors again. The insides were also perfect, the guns had no signs of jamming anytime soon. As for the actual facility it was filled with all sorts of goodies, from swords to knives to axes.

"What did you- How- But... What?" Andrew couldn't make any words out, they were all speechless at this point. Celestia had a sly smile as she went closer to them.

Andrew picked up his ACR and his Desert Eagle, he rotated his Desert Eagle and holstered it. As for his ACR, he held it in his arms to get used to the feel again. They all started some basic tests to make sure they actually worked, they were all fully greased, ready to be fired at will.

"We may have borrowed them while you were asleep, and replaced the parts in them." She chuckled, Nick aimed down his sights to make sure the firing mechanism worked, it was empty, but it worked when he pulled the trigger. Jhon's hatchet was very shiny, and it looked actually metallic again.

"How did you get all the parts back together? I thought you never had experience with these before?" Helena stripped her M40A5 Sniper Rifle, seeing that it was greased and ready to be put to work. The scope was aligned even better than it was before, and she didn't think that was possible.

"We reverse engineered it a little bit." She shuffled.

"You seen these in action, you could've gotten killed!" Andrew protested, Celestia bit her lip in uncertainty.

"Yes, I know and I apologize for going through your stuff. You seemed to like it being all clean and tidy though." She retorted, Andrew crossed his arms.

"Just don't do it again." He mentally facepalmed.

"Wait a minute, how can this thing kill somepony?" Rainbow poked Andrew's ACR, he pulled it away and pulled out a magazine from his hanging B.D.U. He tried to give a demonstration, with Celestia's permission to do so. She nodded so he continued on.

"This here," He rattled the magazine in his hand,"Goes inside of this." He hefted up his ACR and put the magazine into the designated area.

"And then I do this, you might want to cover your ears." He cocked the charging handle and aimed towards an unused chest plate. He shot a single bullet and it echoed throughout the whole armory, and there was a clean hole through the chest plate.

"Yeah... I'm not going to do that again." The gunshot hurt Andrew's ears, he wasn't wearing proper ear protection at the time.

"But why? That was awesome!" Rainbow concluded, they all stared at her.

"What? It was all like, 'BAM!' and then, 'PEW!' and then it made a hole in that chest plate!"

"And the fact that that armor is enchanted to be super resistant. I don't think I've seen any type of weapon like that before." Twilight said. Andrew released the magazine and put it back into the pocket, as well as emptying the bullet inside of the gun. Once he and his team had all their gear, they were set. They didn't put on their body armor, but they did put on their dry-fit shirts to replace the Colonial Patriot getup.

"I know this is probably the wrong time to ask but, I never caught your names." Helena said, they all nodded and agreed.

"I am Princess Celestia, and this is my little sister Princess Luna. Co-rulers of Equestria."

"Twilight Sparkle, a pleasure." She curtseyed.

"Howdy, name's Applejack." She tipped her hat.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!" She bounced.

"I'm Rainbow Dash! Soon to be Wonderbolt and fastest flyer around!"

"Rarity, charmed."

"I-I'm Fluttershy..."

"Well, I'm happy to meet you all. Considering this awkward circumstance. I'm Helena Wilson, that over there is our Captain, Andrew Hartfield. The odd ones over there is Jhon and Nick, we're Echo Team. One of the best units in Delta, arguably the best." Helena said as she slung the Sniper Rifle over her back. She also put her Browning Hi-Power into its designated holster, and fixed her dirty blonde hair in the process. The ponies watched them all in awe, seeing how delicately they were handling them, always making sure the safety was on, and that nopony was within five feet of them.

Nick put his HK416 on the table to inspect it, most of his custom markings were gone, and his etchings were gone from the side. He named his gun Ol' Painless, and etched it into the side, but it was gone as well. His foregrip wasn't hollowed out like it was before to keep a hollow point round in it, for good luck purposes. Jhon loaded a 12 Gauge Buckshot into his Remington 870, and then unloaded it making sure the pump worked. He then got together his throwing knives and put them into his belt. The first aid kit was also there, and Nick put it over his backpack, Andrew then got the team rallied up, signifying that they were ready to get going to wherever.

"Well everything seems to be in order, I just don't know how you were able to replace some of these parts." Andrew questioned. Twilight and Celestia shuffled over and stood in front of a pile of blue schematics, schematics that she may have borrowed from the American gun factory.

"Well then, I guess you can go back to your rooms in the facility.~" Celestia trolled. Echo Team's eyes widened as a response.

"Nononononononononono! We are not going back in there. We have some sort of claustrophobic instinct when we're together." Jhon explained, Celestia put a hoof on her chin. The humans looked at her with whimpers and pleading eyes.

"Maybe with their Military background, I could put them to work. Ponyville has yet to make a police force." She then gave an affirmative nod and smiled.

"Okay, maybe I was a bit harsh about that. But would you like to take up a job offering? It supplies you with a place to sleep as well, just to let you know."

"What type of job are we looking at here?" Nick asked, Celestia then sighed.

"Ponyville has yet to establish a Police Unit, and the Royal Guard lately has been getting too thin in numbers. So would you like to be the very first Ponyville Police?" The humans huddled, and talked it over, but only whispers could be heard. Celestia and Luna looked at each other in disbelief, as well as the ponies.
