Load Full StoryNext Chapter"SUPER 6-4 WHERE ARE WE".
"IRENE ,GOD I LOVE THAT NAME" Michael Durant shouted above the roar of his Black hawk's rotor blades and their powerful engines to the ranger chalk team behind him in the cargo bay.
Chalk four lead by Staff sergeant Eversmann where just one of the four teams that were to hold a defensive perimeter so that the Delta force boys could snatch and grab two of Aidid's highest lieutenants the comms sparked to life again it was SUPER 6-1
"I HEAR YA THERE MIKE NOW LETS GO GET THOSE BASTARDS"
cliffs voice resounded over the whole of the radio assigned to task force ranger upon hearing this every ranger down the line simultaneously replied by giving a loud HOO-AH.
Clifton Wolcott was the pilot of SUPER 6-1 the Black hawk carrying another ranger chalk team in its belly Chalk team three where to be positioned two blocks west of Chalk four deploying via fast rope into the streets below and hold out until LTC Dan McKnight could reach them in a convoy of nine HUMVEES and three five-ton M939 trucks and get the whole of the task force out.
SUPER 6-4 and 6-1 where to wheel around the west while the Delta operatives and the rest of the chalk teams to wheel around the east.
"I'n and out in thirty boys last one back home buys the first round" Michael didn't need to shout as the hawk's comms where working now.
"your on mike" Cliff replied in a jokey manner both of the Hawk's rotors now picking up enough speed to keep them airborne as every single one of the
UH-60's and MH-6's involved in the operation rose skyward while two Hawk's and all the little birds turned east two other Hawks 6-1 and 6-4 turned and banked westwards.
"This is super 6-1 and 6-4 we are airborne i repeat we are airborne" Michael spoke into the mic to Romeo 6-4 the Hawk would be the eyes and ear's of the general.
"copy on your last 6-4. Too all task force ranger callsigns Irene i repeat Irene operation is green light" the airmen's voice crackled back over the staticky comms as the two groups parted.
October 3rd
3:45
forty five minutes since green light.
"SUPER 6-4 this is SUPER 6-1 do you copy" Michael tried to get a response from the suddenly missing UH-60 as static was the only thing that replied each time.
"SUPER 6-1 where the hell are you why wont you respond damn it" Michael resisted the urge to punch the comm unit when he looked outside it was as if he had gone through a portal to a completely different place instead of the sprawling urban city of Mogadishu, Michael saw a colourful landscape with no extremely advanced civilisation and what seemed like a completely peaceful place no wars no fighting no violence nothing of the sort suddenly the radio crackled into life again.
"SUPER 6-4 where the hell are we?" Cliff's voice resounded through the radio on every ranger and pilot on the two Hawk's.
"I don't know mike but something tells me we ain't gonna get that round i promised" the lone black hawks flew through the sky in a tight side by side formation banking left both of the aircraft pulled out of a extremely big patch of cloud cover Michael heard Cliff over the radio again.
"Hey there's a town we'll touch down their okay deploy chalk four on the north side and chalk two on the south then one of the D-boys on the east and west how copy buddy" Michael went over the plan in his head again and again trying to work out any flaws.
He couldn't come up with any.
"Okay just watch out we don't know whats down there could be hostile" Michael eventually breathed out when a ranger spoke over the comms.
"I suggest we fast rope in. Plain. Fast. Simple. Efficient." the ranger in question was Eversmen, Michael replied.
"Right then fast rope north corner of the settlement it is then.Oh and before you go Matt." the ranger turned to face him.
"Lead the way" the ranger smiled and gave a fake two fingered salute the kind you'd give to a kid when you told him you were military.
"I plan to night stalker" at that the two hawk's left each other and dropped of
the two ranger teams on the north and south corners of the town.
"SUPER 6-4 this is Chalk four we are oscar mike to RV how copy" Matt spoke over the radio as the fast rope cord was dropped down below with the rangers in a circle around it.
"Chalk four this is SUPER 6-4 i copy proceeding to east corner to unload cargo and will provide air support copy" Michael's fuzzy voice replied back to him as the rotor blades went from a deafening noise to a faint whuump whuump whuump in the background.
Matt looked to his squad and ordered them to split up half on one side of the street and half on the other.
"Check your corners boys don't want any nasty surprises today." the rangers proceeded down the street until they hit a two way split and in the middle was what looked like a town square.
"Well shit that was quick. SUPER 6-4 this is Chalk four we have arrived at RV point awaiting extraction." Matt waited a couple of minutes before the reply came through.
"Chalk four this is SUPER 6-4 i copy hold position until the D-boys and Chalk two RV with you over" Matt pressed the comms button again.
"I copy will hold out until extraction out. Right then lets move defensive perimeter around the statue LETS HUSTLE!" Matt shouted to the rangers in his command what the rangers didn't know was that a blue pony with a rainbow mane was watching them the whole time suddenly the rainbow mane rushed off.
"Oh my god twilight have you seen them i-i think there invading" twilight looked around to see the element of loyalty on the floor having suddenly crashed through her window sighing twilight looked outside.
"what are you talking about rainbow there's nothing out side" when twilight finished a massive black object shot over the library and began circling around the square making twilight jump at the sudden movement. Looking closer twilight saw people in the front of the machine wearing weird helmets turning to look back at rainbow dash she said.p
"Rainbow dash there's nothing wrong with them there not here to invade look there's people in the front of it" she said pointing towards the UH-60 when a burst of orange light erupted from the side of the object.
"CONTACT there's something out there and there moving in on our position we have one casualty and requesting fire support now" Matt shouted into the mic positioned just in front if his face.
"Chalk four this is SUPER 6-4 copy am oscar mike to you position and providing gunner support" those last three words made Matt feel a lot safer when the UH-60 screamed above his head and turned to give the gunner a firing range.
"Chalk four this is SUPER 6-4 crewman i have ID on your targets firing now" the airman unleashed a torrent of burning hot lead onto the creatures below ripping them to shreds and sending bits of flesh and muscle tissue everywhere.
"HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THAT THING IT LOOKS LIKE A CROSS OF A LION AND A SCORPION" Michael had looked out the side window to see a huge creature being torn to shreds by the vulcan cannon.
"Uh twilight are you sure there not here to invade now?" twilights friend rainbow looked at her slightly annoyed and slightly smug that she was right.
"Yes okay i believe you but how can we bring that thing down with out hruting the people inside." twilight wanted to stop them hurting other ponies but didn't want to hurt the people in it.
"Don't you have a spell that can ground pegasi or something like stop them from flying?" rainbow said a bit matter-of-factly twilight remembering that she did rushed over to the window and tried to concentrate on grounding the object.
"SUPER 6-4 YOU GOT SOMETHING ON YOU THREE O'CLOCK WATCH IT!" Matt had noticed a bright light collecting in the window of a house and he had guessed its trajectory.
Straight into SUPER 6-4.
Michael looked to his three o'clock seeing a bright light aimed directly at him he instantly drove the control column forward in a effort to escape it.
Too late.
The white light burst from the window and streaked it's way across the sky eventually landing and hitting the tail rotor.
"This is SUPER 6-4 we are hit and have lost control of our tail rotor...Where going down" Matt heard Michael over the radio he sounded calm despite what was happening but he knew that Michael was struggling to keep her airborne and what was strange was there was no smoke or fire on the tail rotor it had just stopped working.
"SUPER 6-4 you look fine the tail rotors not belching smoke and there's no fire whats the problem?" Matt shouted over his squad shooting at the half lion half scorpion things.
"We've lost all control from the tail rotor and the left engine and..Wait hold that i just got control back on the tail rotor and the left engine were bugging out guys NOW" Matt watched the hawk descend and the wheels flex as it took they weight of the 5.2 ton metal beast. Sprinting full pelt at the door Matt flung himself in.
"SUPER 6-1 SUPER 6-4 do you read where are you over" Romeo 6-4 was circling high above Mogadishu.
"Sir we've lost contact with SUPER 6-1 and SUPER 6-4 and both Chalk teams" back at the somalian airport Major General William Garrison took in the information that was being relayed back to him.
"Pull the plug on the op we have two chalk teams missing i repeat op is cancelled get my men outta there" Garrison shouted to the man on the radio to Romeo 6-4.
"Romeo 6-4 this overlord mission is FUBAR i repeat mission has gone FUBAR two units missing possibly AWOL.Abort all personnel immediately" the radio operator spoke into the comm link directly to Romeo 6-4.
"Overlord this is Romeo 6-4 copy your last mission abort all task force ranger units mission abort pull out now" the crackly voice went to every Delta and ranger operative out there the first chalk teams were two minutes from being deployed.
"Do we know who went AWOL?" Garrison asked the radio operator.
"Uh it looks like SUPER 6-1 and 6-4 and the two Chalk teams too sir" the operator turned to see a red faced major slightly shaking.
"Corporal" the general still literally fuming.
"Y-yes sir" his voice wavered a little
"Remind me to court martial every single ranger and pilot aboard those two Black hawks and then lock them in jail for going AWOL in the middle of a UN peacekeeping mission!" the corporal jumped back a little at the end of the sentence.
"So uh guys anyone know what the fuck those things down there were ya know the ones that ALMOST KILLED ME!" Matt Eversman heard one of his rangers shout in protest.
"That thing was a manticore some kind of creature with a mix of a lion and a scorpion" Matt shouted back to him not taking his eyes from the sunset. It looked like something you would see in a dream the hills shone bright as day, the waterfalls from the cliff city (canterlot) sparkling like they had been made of pure liquidated diamond and the general colours of the landscape put it all together Matt sighed inwardly.
"i wish it were like this back home" looking back into the cargo bay of the Black Hawk Matt saw his chalk team, chalk four remembering what there mission was Matt wondered what had happened when they were reported missing had the op been called of had they just thinned out two ranger teams to hold the perimeter so many questions and no answers suddenly every one was silent.
Matt turned around to look at his Chalk team.
"what the hell are all of you gawking at" off in the distance Matt saw a implosion on the horizon what followed was unexpected a rainbow circle emanated from the epicentre and streaking towards them at unimaginable speeds was a rainbow and some how it was able to turn.
"Sarge what the fuck is that i swear rainbows are just the sun and rain i see sun light but no rai.." the ranger didn't finish as what happened next stunned everyone the rainbow flew straight through the cargo bay knocking Matt of balance and throwing him five metres from the bird.
"SHIT SARGE!!" Matt heard one of his rangers shout and fingers just slip though his BDU.
"So this is it...this is how its going to end knocked out of a bird some 8,000 feet in the air" Matt closed his eyes as the ground rushed up to him and suddenly he stopped with the ground inches from his face.
feeling something grab his waist he turned around.
"W-what the fuck are you" Matt had never stuttered in his life and the sight of the cyan blue pony made him break that record the pony let go of him and dropped him on his face.
"So no thanks for saving your life then huh" a tomboy voice replied Matt looked up he could see who had saved him clearer now it was defiantly a cyan blue pony and it...had....wings.
What the fuck kind of a world is this flying rainbows wing ponies what next magic Matt thought inwardly looking the pegasus up and down and finally resting on her flank.
She was obviously offended as she protested and Matt got a hoof to the side of the face jumping up and pulling out his beretta 93 he took two steps back and aimed at the ponies head.
"Stay there!" Matt shouted at the pony.
"You knocked me out of my bird just a couple of seconds ago didn't you and now you assault me? some hero" Matt gripped the Beretta hard his hands were almost shaking.
Almost.
"You were staring at my flank what else would i do!" the pony protested.
"I WAS LOOKING AT THAT THING ON YOUR FLANK." Matt calmed down before continuing.
"Look I'm going to put this away now and we'll start over okay" Matt released the grip on his pistol and put it in his holster again.
"Okay who are you and whats that on your flank" Matt indicated with a flick of his finger the ponies face blew up as she explained who she was.
"I'm Rainbow Dash the one and only fastest flyer in all of Equestria." finishing with a loop de loop and a smug grim spreading across her face.
"And this beauty here" looking at her flank
"Is my cuite-mark it's what tells us what our special talent is mine as you guessed it is flying fast and doing a SONIC RAINBOOM!" another grin spreading across her face and slightly on Matt's.
"I's that by anychance what just happened back up there where you knocked me from the bird." Matt jutted a thumb up in the air as the Hawk flew over him and landed a couple of metres away.
"Yeah uh..sorry bout that i didn't mean to ya know make you fall out of it" she was embarressed as her cheeks had gone rose red and she was rubbing the back of her neck she suddenly stopped and looked straight at Matt.
"I just realised your not from here are you. follow me and I'l show you my friends back in ponyville" Matt looked to Michael who was looking straight back at him after a few minutes Durant just shrugged and Matt jumped in the back and the flew off after the pegasus pony into ponyville.
"I got a bad feeling about this".
