Twilight had just said the words no one ever wanted to hear, war a cruel device used to get the resource we want or push the beliefs of your own kind onto another. She was thankful and pretty sure her friends were thankful they would soon be fighting was not for these reasons, but thy all still held a sense of fear and undying sadness for the true reason. An attack, an attack on their home, an attack that could have killed their best friend, and an attack that held no real reason or purpose except to try and gt a reaction out of the Equestrian people which it certainly did.

The girls just stared at their friend in shock while Spike simply stared into the wall adjacent the kitchen in deep thought.
All of a sudden Twilight was being assaulted with questions like who are we fighting, what did the princess' say, she couldn't think of an answer at the time so she just decided to tell them all what she knew. "WOULD EVERYONE KINDLY SHUT THE HELL UP!?!?!?!? screamed Twilight it seemed to work because it finally snapped Spike out of his thoughts and even got Pinkie to stop moving and moving her mouth a thousand words a minute. "Alright look I'm just gonna tell you what happened and hopefully you'll be able to piece together the rest. Ok so there was an attack at my lab in the experimental weapons section where a griffin agent planted explosives and detonated them we have no clue whether there was a HVT he was ordered to take out but the princess' are ordering a swift and thorough interrogation to figure out the motive and target of the attack." All of her friends just stared at her in shock not believing what they just heard, finally Dash stepped forward "sooooo where do we come in on all of this?" Everyone had there attention on Dash and was non-vocally nodding in agreement to the question that had been asked. Twilight was just about to explain when her brother burst through the door holding a piece of paper, Twilight noticed he looked extremely anxious and his eyes were darting all over the room as if trying to find something that he subconsciously knew was not there. "Twilight we need to leave now" Shinning Armor said with a very authoritative voice, Twilight just raised an eyebrow at as did the group of mares and the one dragon "why do we have to leave yet did something happen?" Shinning Armor said nothing and simply handed the piece of paper to his little sister.

Transmission as follows:
Orders from Equestrian high command at 0600 hours, this morning an attack was staged on the city of Manehattan just north of the downtown area. The Royal Guard is hereby ordered to report to FOB FOXTROT 3 miles south of the city.

Twilight could only stare in disbelief "How? How could it have come this quickly?" Shinning simply wrapped her in a hug and said "I don't know Twili but I'm to report to the Forward Operating Base in two hours but before I go I was ordered to get you to Canterlot by any means necessary." Just as he said that a convoy of armored vehicles stopped outside. "Here's our ride now you all take the front two those soldiers have orders to go straight to the castle if you try to convince them to deviate they will subdue you and take you there by force am I clear?" He only got head nods in response. "Good now I'm taking the other three with me to Manehattan" as he was turning around he was suddenly tackled to the ground by a purple blur. "Please please promise me you'll be ok BBBFF" at this point all she could do was cry into her brothers shoulder "I promise I'll be fine but I have to go. Commander please get my sister into her transport" Twilight was pryed from her brother and put into the vehicle she looked around and saw three of her six friends, Rarity, Spike, and Dash were in her armored car they all had tears in their eyes but Dash was only making it worse by trying to keep them from showing. As the vehicles pulled away and the friends sat in silence with only the occasional sob all they could think was how long would his last. But Twilight had another thought, would she see her BBBFF ever agian?
