Inside an old barn, which is already buit into a makeshift command center, Dead Eye is preping up a drone with a rotor wings. While he was busy, Rainbow Dash sneaks behind him...
"Don't think I didn't know you were behind me," Dead Eye turn around to see Rainbow Dash.
"H-how di-"
"I don't keep my guard down."
"Oh, okay. So, what are you working?" Rainbow Dash observes the drone.
"Just getting Angel ready," said Dead Eye, refering to the drone.
"Angel?"
"It's a special kind of whisper drone we use to get a better view of the battlefield. It's long distance, so no matter how far it goes, we can still see what it sees. Now, what it does, it flies on top of our squad and-."
"That's awesome! Does it fly fast?"
"I don't think it work this way."
"Oh", Rainbow Dash hesitate for a awhile, but then ask Dead Eye another question, "I wanna ask.... This may sounds kinda...... Well-"
"My right wing?"
"H-how did you know I was I about to ask about that?"
"I get it all the time."
"So, what happened?"
Dead Eye inhaled softly then starts his story, "I was in Everfree forest, near the Bogg. They ordered me to scout enemy position. It went well at first, but then.....
One year ago....
As the ABFs chasing after Dead Eye, bullets flies pass him while he's looking for an escape plan.
"This is Dead Eye! I got ABFs after me! Requesting back up! Repeat! Requesting backup!"
"We got troops on your way for backup, over."
"Roger that!"
Dead Eye continues running from the advancing armies, until...
"Dead Eye, this Staff Sergeant Lopez, what's your status, over?"
"I have hostile on my tail! Over!"
"Look up."
Dead Eye looks up and saw a Black Hawk chopper with Kay manning the mounted minigun and Shadow Hooves on the passenger sit.
Kay fires the minigun at the advancing ABFs. "Take us down there!"
"Ground's not good enough to land!" said the pilot.
"Seriously! Dead Eye! Just fly here!"
Dead Eye spreads his wings and fly towards the chopper, but a 50.Cal bullet hits him on the right wing and fell. Without thinking, Shadow Hooves jumps down and lands near Dead Eye. He drags him to a rock for cover.
"You're okay!' shouts Shadow Hooves in the middle of a gunfight.
"I.... I can't feel my...
"Just hold on, we'll get you outta here!"
On the chopper, Kay saw his comrade jumps to the ground and safes Dead Eye. "You!" Kay command a soldier, " man this gun and you better find a good landing spot!". Kay jumps out of the chopper and lands on the ground. He gets up and open fired at the ABFs with his M60.
"We gotta get him outta here!"
Shadow Hooves carries Dead Eye up while Kay and the soldier on the chopper hold the ABFs back. Losing too much blood, Dead Eye vision begans to blur before he blackned out....
"After that, I woke up on a bed. All I remember is our commander carried me way to safety. They said I'm lucky to be alive, but they can't save my right wing, so they have to cut it off."
"I-I'm so sorry....
"It's okay. It happens. If it weren't for them, I'll lose more than my right wing." Dead Eye actives the drone and it floats in mid-air, without any noise. Dead Eye turns on a monitor and displays the camera feed from the drone.
Then, Shadow Hooves came in, "Dead Eye, is Angel ready?".
"Yes sir, it's operating very well." said Dead Eye.
"Good. Get it ready for flight, we got work to do. We have report that possible hostile as attacked a village not far from here."
"So, we going in?"
"Negative. I've sent Iron Hooves and Rookie to go check out. They're picking up Staff Sergeant Lopez and Lieutenant Commander Kravchenko for this mission. We'll be staying here monitoring them."
"Yes sir", Dead Eye took control of the drone and shows something to Rainbow Dash. "Check this out", Dead Eye activates the drone's cloak device, making it almost invisible to the naked eye.
"Wow! That's so cool! Howch'u do it!" Rainbow Dash said in excitement.
"Angel's comes with a cloaking device. It may not look like he's invisible, but atleast no enemy will see him far up." Dead Eye then steers the drone outside, while keeping his eyes on the monitor.
"They're moving now. Try getting our boys on the feed." said Shadow Hooves.
"Okay, there they are. Activating auto pilot." Dead Eye activates the auto pilot on the drone and the cloaked drone follows the vehicle where the other Delta squads are.
"Rookie, this is Dead Eye, Angel is above you. Over."
"Bout time Angel shows up."
Fluttershy's cottage
Outside of the cottage, Kay's sitting under a tree until Yuri found him.
"Kay, what are you doing outside?"
"I don't know, I just want to be here for awhile. It's, just not the same here."
"I know it's hard for us here in a world we know but doesn't know us. Come on, my friend. You look like you just met Fluttershy."
"And do you know how I looked when I first saw her?"
"No"
"Then shut the fuck up."
"Look, there's nothing to be worry about. We've been through many, and we came back."
"That's the problem. I don't want to risk my life again. Why are you not worry about anything?"
"That's because I want to go back to fighting, like a soldier."
"Well, I'm not a soldier. I never was. I'm just some ex-convict looking for a better life."
"My friend. If a man risk his live to get a better one, no matter what background he is, he is a soldier as well."
"And that's a word you picked up back in Russia?"
"No. It's from my father. And he's not a soldier in any country, he's just a lady's man in Paris." Yuri left, leaving Kay to Fluttershy.
"Perhaps you should talk to him. I ran out of words." said Yuri to Fluttershy.
"C-can that really help him?" said Fluttershy.
" I do not know. But, just keep him company for awhile."
"O-okay...." Fluttershy slowly approaches Kay, but steps on a twig. This alerted Kay and looked at where the sound was, only to see Fluttershy quickly hidding behind the tree.
"It's okay, I won't hurt you." said Kay.
Fluttershy peeks out slowly, "Um.. I-I'm sorry I startled you..".
"It's fine, really."
Fluttershy slowly comes out of her hiding and sits only a few feet away from Kay, "S-something wrong? You don't look so good... Are you sick?".
"I'm fine...."
"But, you look sad.... Is there something I should-"
"Did Yuri sent you here?"
"Well... H-he's very concerned about you...."
"Aren't they all?"
"W-well... He........" Don't know how to continue, everything went awkward silences for a while, until a humvee arrived. Rookie exited the vehicle and approaches Kay.
"Sir, Commander Shadow Hooves wants you and Lieutenant Commander Kracchenko to lead us to a recon mission." said Rookie.
"A recon mission?" said Kay.
"Some civilians arrived few minutes ago. They're talking about a group of monsters rampaging their village, sir."
"Shit. Okay, wait here while we're getting ready."
"Yes sir!"
Inside the cottage, Kay puts on his gear and loads his AA12.
"Kay, what's going on?" said Yuri.
"Shadow Hoove's boys just came here. They're talking about a recon mission we should took part with."
"Is it serious?"
"Only one way to find out." Kay cocks his AA12 and heads out.
