Soldiers Among Equestria 1.5 Remade

Long ago in the land of Equestria

Two sisters brought balance to the world

One raised the sun, the other raised the moon

The ponies cherished and enjoyed the day

While they would shun and sleep through the night

Over time the sister of the moon felt her night became unappreciated

She became riddled with anger and jealousy and became a monster known as Nightmare Moon

She wanted to bring eternal night to the ponies in desperation for them to enjoy her night

The sister of the sun had to protect Equestria from eternal darkness

She used the Elements of Harmony to banish her sister to the moon

She had no choice for it was for the safety of Equestria

Ever since she banished her sister to the moon she regretted her actions every day

She became very remorseful that she decided to banish the Elements of Harmony

She never wants to see the Elements of Harmony for it reminded her of the tragic event

No pony knows where the Elements for Harmony were sent

The G.D.I (Global Defense International) is a worldwide organization that tracks down the worlds wanted criminals and terrorist forces. It was established back in 1988 when the governments and the CIA of the United States decided to privately fund a Special Forces counter-terrorist organization. Over the years, the G.D.I organization gained fame around the world that other governments and security joined forces and funded the G.D.I. Today, it is one of the world’s biggest counter-terrorist organizations second to the U.S military.

There are branches around the world from the eastern and western countries. The main headquarters are in the United States, Europe, and many other major countries. Each sector has a base where they respond to the admirals who give out the terrorists. Today, there are more than five-hundred bases and headquarters around the world now.

Our journey starts with Captain Marshall, and his team of elite counter-terrorist teammates. They are known as the DS6 (Delta Squad Six) they were given a mission by the Global Defense International. A research facility in Moscow has been taken over by a Russian terrorist who is holding researchers hostage in developing nuclear WMD's. Their mission, rescue the hostages and capture the enemy.

The morning sun raised in the clear skies of Moscow, there, an MH-60X flies over the heavy dense city in Moscow piloted by Daemon, a new member of the DS6.

“So what’s the deal with these nuclear WMD’s?” Evan spoke to his Greek recruit.

"I don’t know, but the admiral said it’s dangerous, it might start World War Three.” Daemon replied as he looked out the cockpit window through his tainted glasses.

Evan arched an eyebrow, "Well, that’s why we’re here.” he stated, “To put an end to it.”

Evan turned his head from Daemon to his teammates. Aaron Smith, First Lieutenant Sniper and hand to hand expert. Samuel San Nicolas, Second Lieutenant Master of stealth and assault. Takashi Shakimaru, First Sergeant in CQB and Karate expert. Alejandro Donato, same rank as Takashi, but only in CQB. Dimitri Trivorsky Rhet, Sergeant Major Sniper and knife expert, Evan sent him at the research facility base for undercover. Since Dimitri is Russian, he had no problems with the other Russians. Finally, Daemon Filipinas, Private First Assault and earned a degree in flight school.

Evan looked out the window. He remembered the years when he was just a Lieutenant. He and his team spent years in the G.D.I to get where they are, they encountered bumps such as misreports, grudges that tested their friendship, and mission failures that almost got them kicked out, but they learned from their mistakes and moved on.

“Alright guys, our mission is simple, rescue the hostages and take down the man behind this operation.” he commanded, “I already sent a teammate for undercover in the facility three days ago. We’ll rendezvous with him at the base.” Evan commanded.

“Let’s hope he doesn’t blow his cover ‘mate”, Samuel said.

“Don’t worry y’all, he’s Russian, there’s no way they can decipher if he’s on ya’ll’s team.” Alejandro replied to the British blonde.

Takashi kept quiet as he read his book “Japanese to English”.

Evan walked to the cockpit, “Daemon, how long till we reach the objective?”

“Six zero mikes.” replied Daemon, eyes focused on the objective.

The research facility base in Moscow Russia has been occupied by terrorists under the man named Silovik Vedernikov. He is wanted in twenty-three countries for the development of warheads to sell to illegal markets in the Middle East. Today, they are developing nuclear WMD's to sell to the Afghanistan Black Market as it would generate more income for Silovik and his men. There are six necklaces being soldered and wired to the computer chips in the WMD’s.

Silovik cannot help but smile at the progress they made, “It seems that ze missile production is going smoothly, no?”

“Yes sir, their material they’re composed is phenomenal, but these elements have a very unique design.” One of his right hand scientists said.

“Yes, zhese necklaces, despite their childish design, their powers are enough to change ze balance of ze world.” Silovik stated as he picked one of them up and inspected it, the light in the room reflected the gemstone on it, “Not to mention zheir pretty light.”

Dimitri (teammate of DS6) walked over to Silovik with a clipboard in his right hand, “What do you plan on doing with zhis missiles, once zhey get off ze production line?” he asked.

Silovik gently gave the necklace back to the engineer. “I’m going to sell these zin ze Afghanistan Black Market, they zil pay me millions for ze missiles, I have no desire to use these, I’m a biziness man, not ze general” replied Silovik.

Throughout the facility, Siloviks men had already held the civilians and the scientist’s hostage. If any one were to escape, fight back, or call the cops, they would be killed. The hostages were laid in a straight line with their faces covered, while the enemies walked around the room with HK21’s. Dimitri sneaked out of the missile development room and looked around the hallways if there were any hostiles present. As soon the coast was clear, he hid into the bathroom and pulled out his radio.

“Delta One to Delta Two, I got ze info on ze missiles, each of zhese missiles contains an element that perform a supernatural effect, over.” Dimitri said discreetly over his radio.

“Delta Two to Delta One, how many missiles are we dealing with, and what is this element?” Evan replied back.

Dimitri looked around the bathroom before he spoke into the radio, “Delta One to Delta Two, I don’t know yet--but zhey said that zhey’re powerful enough to change ze balance of ze world, over”

“Delta Two to Delta One, who’s in charge of these missiles, and what do they plan on doing with them?” Evan questioned him.

Dimitri began to panic as he heard footsteps, “Delta One to Delta Two, the man is Silovik Vedernikov, and he’s going to zell them to the Afganistan Black Market to make money, over.” Dimitri replied in a panicked tone.

“Delta Two to Delta One, clear the facility for any hostiles, we’re two zero mikes away, over.” Evan said,

“Delta One to Delta Two, wilco, out.” Dimitri quickly put the radio back in his lab coat and readied his suppressed MP443. The door opened and two of Siloviks scientists came inside. Dimitri took a deep breath and hosteled back his sidearm, thank gosh it was not one of the armed enemies.

After the bathroom break, Dimitri took an elevator because it showed the whole view of the facility. He saw the whole courtyard occupied by Silovik’s men, and the main room had civilians that are held hostage. He pulled out his radio and contacted his team, “Delta One to Delta Two, the base is heavily guarded, there’s a whole army of Silovik’s men guarding the perimeters, and transport vehicles for ze missiles,” he saw the back of the facility void of enemies, “Captain, I would not recommend flying the helicopter in front of the facility, I recommend you go around to the back, where you won't be seen by enemy fire, over.”

"Delta Two to Delta One, meet us at the rendezvous point when you’re done, out.” Evan replied, and turned back to his team.

“Alright gentlemen, we’re approaching the facility, equip your weapons and suit up”, Evan commanded.

“Yes Sir!” four of his teammates replied.

The Captain turned toward his teammate, "Aaron, get Dimitri’s guns…and his uniform.”

After fifteen minutes elapsed, the modified Blackhawk akin to the one SEAL Team Six used three years prior, flew behind the facility and released a long cable from the holder. “This is where I’ll drop you guys, call me when you have completed the mission.” Daemon said to Evan.

Evan grabbed the rope, and turned towards Daemon, “Roger that,” Evan slid down the cable, followed by his four teammates.

The helicopter rolled the cable back up before it flew off into the distance. Dimitri walked out of the research facility and saw his Captain and his teammates waiting for him. Evan gave Dimitri his BDU and his armor, while Aaron gave him his SVD and his AK74. Dimitri told his teammates not to look as he changed out of his disguised lab coat into his black BDU. It was the harshest ten minutes of his life as he changed in the cold weather.

“Okay…Now vhat’s everything’s settled.” Dimitri took out a map and laid it on the cold hard ground, “I suggest ve rescue the civilians first, Captain. They’re being held hostage in the main room.”

“Alright, let’s rescue the civilians, then, we’ll target Silovik. Let’s move!” The soldiers equipped their weapons and headed towards the main room.

The main in the central point of the facility, there are five hallways that lead to each wing of the facility. In the middle of the room, the civilians were laid in a straight line kneeled downed with their hands on their heads with their faces covered. The enemies walked around the room with their rifles as they observed the people to see if their up to something. Everybody was frightened as they were held hostage, it did not help that one of the hostages is a collage intern; fear overwhelmed her as she started to let out a little scream. One of the enemies saw this and wrapped her mouth with a cloth. The civilians are helpless against the enemies, but not for long. The six soldiers positioned themselves at the entrance; Takashi used his snake cam to scan the area for hostiles.

“How many are there, Takashi?” Evan asked, his face a serious expression.

Takashi scanned the area, before he put reeled back his snake cam, “There are multiple enemies, the civilians are in hostage, and hallways that lead to other parts of building.” he replied.

“Alright…we got to time this.” Evan turned to his teammates, “As what Takashi stated, there are hallways that lead to other parts of the facility, if one of the enemies gets away, they’ll alert the other and we’ll be in serious trouble.” Evan kept a straight face, “We’ll have to make sure that this clearance is fast and effective”.

Once the soldier positioned themselves at the door, it was show time. “Alright guys, we practiced this move for a long time, so each of you better know your roles.” Evan warned them.

The five soldiers nodded and positioned themselves at the door, “Sound suppressors on.” Evan commanded.

Evan was in front and Takashi was in the back. Takashi walked toward the other side of the door, while Aaron readied a flash bang. Alejandro blew off the door lock with his SCAR H, and then Takashi kicked the door down, followed by a flash bang thrown by Aaron. The flash bang temporary stunned the enemies; the team knows they have about fifteen seconds before the enemies gained conscience.

Evan was the first to walk in, he walked in a controlled movement towards the left wall as he fired his M249 PARA, and Aaron followed behind him and fired his M14, “Left! Clear!” They both shouted. At the same time, Samuel walked in a controlled movement towards the right wall and fired his AUG A3, Alejandro followed behind and fired his SCAR H, “Right! Clear!” they also shouted.

Dimitri fired his AK74, and Takashi fired his HK416, they were the last as they followed in to clear the rest of the enemies. The whole team took their assigned positions and cleared the room in 10 seconds…flat.

“Excellent job, gentleman, but we’re not of the woods yet. We got to take down our primary target, Silovik” Evan stated.

The team nodded and headed towards the missile development room. The team walked at a fast pace though the hallways. They still have their suppressors on so they can clear rooms without setting off alarms. The team repeated this method till they finally reached the main room, the missile development room. Once they reached the main room, their luck was cut short. The security was tight, which made the room inaccessible. The only way to get inside the room is if you had a security card. This was a big problem to the team, not only they were not expecting this, but they have no way to access to room to take down the wanted terrorist.

“I wasn’t expecting this.” Evan muttered to himself, “How did you get inside the room, Dimitri?”

“Vell…I had a card…but I lost it…” Dimitri said in embarrassment.

Evan rolled his eyes in annoyance from the mishap Dimitri committed, “Okay, calm down, it’s not the end of the world.” Evan tried to calm himself down.

“It will be if they get those missiles completed!” Takashi panicked, only to have Samuel slapped him on the head.

“That was very uplifting ‘mate.” Samuel spoke in a sarcastic tone.

The team was about to lose hope until Dimitri came up with an idea that will help them finish their mission, “If I remember correctly the room had windows-.”

Alejandro interrupted Dimitri’s plan, “I got it y’all! What if we breach through the walls, the door is well shut and re-enforced, but them walls are made up of regular concrete ya’ll!” Alejandro spoke in confidence, only to have the entire team looked at him with an irritated look on their faces.

Alejandro started to get nervous, “You know…let’s go with Dimitri’s plan ya’ll.” Alejandro smiled sheeply.

“Idiot,” Dimitri muttered to himself.

After Dimitri described his plan, the team walked deeper towards the hallways till they saw the stairway. They walked towards the top till they were above the missile development room. The team saw a balcony which the room was underneath it. Three of the soldiers equipped their rappel kit and clanged on the railing on the left, while the other three clanged on the right. They began walk in a vertical path till they were aligned with the windows, once the team is position, Evan gave the “GO” sign. The team fired their pistols through the windows and took down all of the scientists, which leaved Silovik surrounded. Silovik was scared of the soldiers; they have eliminated all of his guys in such a short time, he ran towards the nearest exit.

“Silovik's getting away!” Evan shouted.

“Not for long!” Takashi pulled out his MP7A1 and fired at Silovik’s leg, Takashi immobilized him.

The team breached in through the windows, Evan picked up the Russian terrorist and pointed his Desert Eagle at his face, “Sorry Silovik, but I’m going to have to take your missile license.” Silovik growled at him while Takashi handcuffed him.

Evan looked at his two men before he remembered about the elements, “Dimitri, show me these elements.” Evan said.

Dimitri fumbled around for a few seconds before he pulled the elements from a wooden crate,“Yes sir, right here,” Dimitri showed Evan. The elements were place in each of the missiles. Evan looked at the elements with pure amazement and curiosity.

“Should we take them with us, Evan?” Dimitri suggested.

Evan observed the elements before he made his final decision. "Okay, it's not like anybody going to use these, besides these elements look pretty interesting, Daemon would get a kick out of these, find a case so we can transport these safely to base”.

Dimitri nodded and searched for a case, in the meantime, Evan contacted Daemon to tell him that their mission was a success, and their ready to be picked up. After they contacted the police, the team headed towards the rooftop to rendezvous with Daemon. The team watched the helicopter landed down next to them. Evan was the first to enter the helicopter, followed by his teammates. Dimitri held a small metal case as he entered the helicopter. Finally, everybody was on board, the MH-60X closed the side door and flew off to their headquarters.

After three hours passed, the helicopter approached their headquarters. The MH-60X landed in the dock that showed a yellow H. Their headquarters is not your average military base compared to other bases in the G.D.I. There are other branches around the world with the default equipment: an armory and military equipment, Delta Squad Six had the same but they wanted to add more features, to make it stand from the rest. They first started out with a small base, then, over the years, they used their money they earned from the G.D.I to expand their base. The base used to be only two stories high with the default equipment: an armory and military equipment. Now, it is five stories high with a basket-ball court, exercise room, and swimming pool in their headquarters. Their garage has vehicles which consist of SUV’s and patrol cars, and even a recreational room to relieve stress.

Dimitri looked at Evan and gave him a nod to signal him about the necklaces.

“Hey Daemon?” Evan asked him.

“Yes Evan?” Daemon replied as he turned off the controls.

“I need to show you something, it’s really important.” Evan took the black metal case from Dimitri and brought it over to Daemon.

“Take a look at this,” Evan opened the case that revealed the necklaces.

Daemon looked the necklaces with fascination “Whoa, this is pretty interesting; I never saw anything like this” he took out his flight helmet that revealed his silver hair.

“Do you mind doing research on these? According to Dimitri, these are powerful elements.” Evan stated.

“No problem, but I need full control over these because like what you said, they’re very powerful,” Daemon stated.

Alejandro woke up from his slumber and opened the door of the helicopter, “If you don’t mind ya’ll, I’m gonna tap a nap, after non-stop room clearance, I feel like I’ve been kicked by a mule.” Alejandro jumped out of the helicopter and walked toward the entrance of the main building.

“Good idea, guys why don’t you get some rest, Daemon and I will conduct research on these necklaces, tonight.” Evan suggested. The team nodded and headed to their respected quarters.

The soldier rested in their quarters till it was 7:00pm, which means it was dinner time. Every day of the week each of the soldiers drove to the nearest diner to pick up food and brought it home for the other guys. Since today is a Friday, it was Evan’s turn to get food; he left the base in his F-150 and drove to the nearest cafe to get food for his men. After Evan brought the food back to the base, the men ate their food at the cafeteria in their headquarters. They all sat in their assigned seats due to some “mishaps” with Takashi and Alejandro.

“You know one of zhese days we all should go eat at ze five star restaurant.” Dimitri ate his food.

“You got that right, Dimitri.” Daemon ate his double decked burger.

“We should plan it when we have free time from missions” Evan suggested, “Here’s to capturing Silovik” Evan raised his can of Pepsi, and clanked each other can.

After dinner, Daemon decided to start his research on the necklaces. He took the necklace to the research room in the headquarters and laid out the necklace on a wooden table across the room. Daemon was a scientist before he joined the G.D.I so he knew the concepts of research. He took several wires from the machine and clipped it onto each of the necklaces. After two hours, Evan and Dimitri walked into the research room.

“How’s it coming?” Evan asked.

Daemon looked at the blue screen before he turned toward the two, “This is far beyond anything I saw, I encounter other artifacts, but these are just phenomenal!”

“Not to mention how the way how they look.” Evan observed the necklaces.

Daemon picked up a clipboard from the table, “Agreed, how often would you see necklaces that give out supernatural powers with the shape of a star, butterfly, a diamond, a lightning bolt, an apple, and a balloon?” he wrote down data on the clipboard, “And the weird part is? They’re naturally created.” he finalized his saying.

“They’re not man-made?” Evan said, “So what you’re saying is, that those elements are naturally made from an ancient being?” he questioned.

Daemon took off his glass from his sweaty face, “Your theory might be correct Captain” Daemon said.

“Really…” Evan muttered, “Dimitri, when you were at the research facility in Moscow, did Silovik ever mentioned where he found those necklaces?”

Dimitri fumbled around for a minute, before he replied, “Well, he did say that he found them in middle of Russia, he said that he found them like they came down crashing to earth like a meteor, you know how zhey make a big hole?” Dimitri moved his arms.

“So they might be from another world?” Evan asked him.

“That could be a theory.” Dimitri said to Evan.

By 10:30pm, everybody began to sleep in their rooms except Daemon, Evan, and Dimitri. Evan’s eyes started to get drowsy, Dimitri started to snore a bit, and Daemon was about ready to pass out, exhaustion began to take its toll on them.

“It’s getting late guys, I’m going to go bed, I’ll to come back here tomorrow” Dimitri yawned as he left the room.

“Your right, we’ll resume research tomorrow, I’m getting sleepy too” Evan left the room; his drowsy eyes made him walk into a wall, “I’m okay.”

“You guys go ahead, I’ll continue researching these” Daemon picked up a pen.

Everybody went to sleep in their quarters, except Daemon, who went full steam on the Elements of Harmony. He wrote insane data, looked p books, and studied them one by one. After hours of non-stop research, exhaustion won the battle.

“That’s it, I’m tired, and I’m going to bed!” Daemon packed up his laptop.

He glanced over at the clock on the wall, “6:30 am? Holy- cow!” Daemon said in shock.

As soon Daemon walked towards the exit, the necklaces stated to glow. They began to glow so bright that it caught Daemon's attention. Daemon turned around and saw something he would see in science-fiction movie.

“What in the world--” before Daemon could finish his sentence the necklaces released a magical link that attached the other necklaces in the room, the elements began to ascend and launched a boom through research room, “Uh-oh!” Daemon began to panic so badly, he set off the alarm in the room that woke everybody up the base.

The alarm set off warning sounds that woke everybody up. They all looked the outside the window where the beam shot towards the dark blue sky. They all looked the beam with fright and fascination.

“What the heck is that?!” Evan said as he saw the beam from his window,

“Blimey!” shouted Samuel as he witnessed the scene.

Aaron gave a shocked looked on his face at the beam.

Takashi still had the controller from his PS3 before the beam caught his attention “Whoa!! What is that!!?” Takashi said out of shock,

“O’ my stars in heaven!” Alejandro shouted with his horse plushy in his arms his grandma made for him.

"Oh dear...” Dimitri said as he looked at the beam.

Suddenly, a voice ranged from the intercom, “Attention all units, the beam is coming from the research room, head there immediately at once!” Evan shouted over the intercom.

Everybody changed into their BDU’s, equipped their sidearm, and ran towards the research room, they all met at the entrance.

“Where’s Daemon!?” Samuel shouted.

“Right here guys!” Daemon hid in one of the lockers, “A little help here?”

Evan and Aaron pulled Daemon out of the locker, “Daemon, what’s going on, what’s happening?”

Daemon looked inside the room before he turned his head towards Evan, “I don’t know, I was about to leave the room until those necklaces started glowing!” shouted Daemon.

Alejandro crossed his arms, “You better have a good reason Daemon! Them beams woke me from ma slumber.” he warned.

Daemon rolled his eyes in annoyance, “Like I said, they just started glowing. I don’t know!”

Finally, the beam began to fade and left nothing but the morning sky.

“Oh, that’s odd.” Samuel looked out the window.

“Maybe it was light show?” Takashi questioned.

Evan heard a mellow lightning sound, "I don’t think so…” he quietly said.

As if on cue, a magical force field covered the entire headquarters, it began to form into a blinding white around the base. The entire base shook, the cars set off alarms and the helicopter rotor blades wobbled. Everybody held onto something as the base shook violently.

“I think it taking us somewhere!” Samuel shouted like a little girl.

“What makes ya say that?!” Alejandro grabbed a railing.

“Don’t know ‘mate, I watched movies where something like this happens!” Samuel replied to Alejandro.

“Where is it taking us?!” Takashi dropped his 3DSLL.

Evan grabbed the railing, “Hopefully not Antarctica! I didn’t buy any winter clothes!” he shouted.

“I did! JC Penny had a sale!” Aaron smiled.

“Why didn’t you tell me, ‘mate?!” Samuel shouted at him.

The magical field suddenly disappeared along with the soldiers, their headquarters, and the necklaces. They were no longer in the middle of Europe, but the magical land of Equestria.

Equestria, a country inhabited by magical talking ponies and other fantasy creatures. It is co-ruled by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, who is no longer here…yet. It was early in the morning in the skies of Canterlot Castle. In the throne room, Princess Celestia read and signed her last scroll. Suddenly, the entrance of the throne room slammed opened as one of her personal guards galloped towards her.

“Your majesty! Something humongous has appeared along the outskirts of Canterlot!” one of her personal guards shouted.

Celestia gasped in shocked before she returned to her normal self, “I see, gather up the guards and prepare to depart in a hour.” she replied in a stern voice.

"Yes, your majesty!" her guard galloped out of the throne room.

At the weapons and equipment room in the Castle, the stallions equipped their gold armor and their sharp platinum spears. They wanted to be ready in case the unidentified being is a threat.

“Suit up, stallions; we’re heading towards the outskirts of Canterlot in an hour with the Princess!” the leader commanded.

“Who said?” one of the rookie guards took a spear off the rack.

The leader equipped his golden helmet, “Princess Celestia! Something has appeared in the outskirts of Canterlot!” the guard shouted back to the rookie.

“Yes sir!” the rookie saluted.

After an hour, Celestia and her guards left the castle and headed towards the outskirts of Canterlot.
