Chapter 2- Stealth & Tech
It has been 2 weeks since the failed assassination of Celestia still not knowing what is going on she sits eagerly awaiting the opportunity to strike and take possession of her Technological advances. " This is Captain Rainbow Dash adding to this audio log It's my first mission as a leader my mission is to sneak in to Celestia's compound and make off with her schematics to whatever she is making there is a total of six of us and I will not let my troops down Rainbow Dash out". As Rainbow Dash gets into position Celestia is also sending out a patrol It's just a scouting squad of about three ponies. "Captain three enemy hostiles coming this way it seems they have no idea we are here should we take them out"." Go for it Nightshade and make it quiet".Nightshade snuck up behind the patrol and make quick work of them snapped ones neck, and stabbed the other two, as Rainbow Dash comes up to the squad they just took out she finds out right there and then that the ponies they just killed were old friends from Ponyville Lyra, Bon Bon, and Colgate." Nightshade collect their tags so we can return them to Luna she would want to know about these three". As the squad moves into the compound they nearly get spotted by the watchtowers as the main task force waits by the gate Nightshade and Blackhawk move in to collect the schematics. As the two maneuver to the lab they notice a bunch of paper on the desk as they grab it the guard spots them and open fires almost instantly clipping Nightshade but they make short work of the guard and they high tale it out of there now that the security system has been tripped but Nightshade is in bad shape slowing them down Blackhawk doesn't even think about what he is about to do."Sorry Nightshade it's for the best". Rainbow Dash spots Blackhawk with the papers and a pair of tags he states Nightshade got shot and I believe him. Rainbow Dash felt accomplished that they succeeded and terrible at the same time she said she wouldn't let anypony down she let Nightshade down but before she could grieve anymore a combustion grenade went off blowing them sky high. hours later RD starts to come to and she finds the majority of her squad either dead or missing and the schematics are gone the only survivor is Shadowshot an NLR sniper Nightly, and Shade are dead and Blackhawk is MIA. Later that night they make it back and have to get debriefed."This is Captain RD reporting that we have failed in acquiring the schematics and I have failed my squad nearly all of them died because I lowered my guard and we were attacked by unknown forces this is RD signing out"." This is PFC. Shadowshot reporting that we have failed and me and RD are the only survivors that we could see still Blackhawk is missing I really wish I knew where he was this is Shadowshot signing off".
Lost Cause
Luna sits in silence in her room just thinking about what her sister said and she couldn't believe that she told her this because them being enemies why would her sister tell her of a squad of dead solar soldiers up in the ruins of Canterlot in possession of some very dangerous experimental equipment. "Hey Luna it's Shadowshot just checking up on you seeing if your alright"."Shadowshot come in here I need to talk to you I need you to take a select few ponies out on a recovery mission since we are still on lock down I want you, RD, and Shadowplex to go since you guys are a professional recovery squad".As Shadowshot gets everypony they gear up with necessities for this mission they get flown in on a shadow bomber a few miles out and that they will pick them up in a day in this same spot at the same time. The three ponies look shocked to see what Canterlot has become a forgotten quarantined city RD remembers the quarantine just not what they were quarantining as the three track across the city they see in the distance a pony walking towards them they quickly raise their guns and point them at the pony telling her to stop she kept walking and Shadowplex walks to her and orders her to the ground next thing you know you see Shadowplex being ripped to pieces by the pony RD and Shadowshot watch in horror as their buddy's organs are thrown into the air blood being sprayed all over them the next thing to happen they open fire killing the pony they see about a dozen more in the street they run to the nearest building and bar the door.The two eagerly sit in the middle of a forgotten medical clinic thinking of a plan of escape with the building surrounded. The first thing they decide to do is search the building for supplies they come across a total of 6 med kits but no dead squad they then decide to go to the roof where they find four Solar soldiers looking at them with missing legs and bodies ripped open Shadowshot opens fire and takes them all out they then got to the footlocker and find and experimental sun gun and the schematics Shadowshot grabs the gun and the schematics and to top it all off they found a ladder that goes behind the building where nobody is as they make their way to it one of the soldiers gets back up and grabs RD she struggles to resist but the soldier is too much the pony then takes a giant bite out of her neck she then turns around looks at Shadowshot blood spewing out of her she finally falls to the ground the last thing Shadowshot saw before he dipped was the soldier going down to the twitching body and starts to gnaw on her wings. "This is corporal Shadowshot sounds cool doesn't it got the promotion when I brought back the gun and schematics I told Luna what was up there and that she was to never send another squad there again no matter what that place is a lost cause Shadowshot out".
