"-and we are just getting word that Las Pegasus has been overran. We do not know if there are any survivors, but we do know that the death toll is currently at 300,000. The force behind the attack is said to be a large number of canine like being unlike anything we have ever-", the video feed was cut by the general.

"Alright gents, here's the situation," says General Apex, a black alicorn that stood about about a head taller then Princess Luna. He had a black coat with red tribal markings, the markings covered his entire body, the ones on his head looked like a skull while the rest of them just covered his body in a circuit pattern. At the center of his forehead was a spade.He had no mane but he wore a black beret with a patch on the front of it.. His eyes were two different colors, his left eye was a metallic light blue while his right eye was metallic red. He was wearing a long black officers greatcoat with six throwing knives strapped to his sides, and an officer sword was strapped to his side

"We know that Manehatten, Los Pegasus, and Seaddle are taken by these... things. It took me forever to get Celestia to mobilize our spec ops teams to assist Shining Armor's Royal Guards, but we now have actionable intel, provided by our Communications Command and Task Force Rouge, to lay waste to these sons of bitches."

"HOORAH!" the other commanders howl.

"Colonel Sable, how's the status on our Nightstalkers?"

A grey pegasus stallion with light blue lines and an unkempt black mane with magenta eyes saluted before giving his report. He wore the same beret and coat as the general, but had two Kpinga throwing knives strapped to his hips.

"Sir, Hellhound Team is ready and standing by for orders. Carbon has been relieved of his position, but from what I hear, he has his own squad stationed in Ponyville."

"Excellent, Ghost Eye, Nexus?"

"Yes sir?" both say in unison with a salute.

Director Ghost Eye, an ash Grey unicorn stallion with a spiky red mane with black tips and solid red eyes surrounded by black where the whites should be, and his second in command, Vice Director Nexus was a huge, white coated earth stallion with a spiky silver mane with black streaks and deep purple eyes. Both wore black cloaks with red clouds on them.

"Status on our SOG teams?"

"Archer and Punisher teams are standing by on your word general. We just need the green light sir," says Ghost Eye.

"Sir, Predator Team is currently scoping out the cities. We have up to the second updates on all survivors, enemy movements and a way to strategically apply our forces. Operative 011 reports that their cover isn't blown and that they are still in hiding. Sir, they request clearance to aid the survivors in fighting back," says Nexus.

"Permission denied. We need them to observe and ONLY observe. Are we clear?"

"Aye sir," says Nexus.

"Good, Colonel Zippo, report."

"We're good to go and standing by. My forces can be prepped and wheels up in eighteen hours tops," replies Zippo with a salute. He is a unicorn with gold eyes, a deep red coat, and a blonde mane and tail. His mane was cut high and tight under a maroon beret. He also wore a set of CE Digital fatigues.

"Ready as usual colonel," Apex says with a smirk.

"Always ready sir," Zippo says with pride.

"Good, we'll need your unit later,", Apex says before turning to his air force generals, "And our airships?"

"Excellent conditions sir,", replies Colonel Hawker. He is a white pegasus stallion with a grey, blasted black mane. He was responsible for all of Equestria's troop transport ships.

"Same here, sir", calls Major Skyfall, a glassy grey pegasus with a long, light blue mane who was responsible for the fuel ships.

"We are go sir," says Major Razgriz, a black pegasus with red wings, black feathers, and a orange mane.He was responsible for all of the gunships.

"We are all good sir. We only have one problem" every pony looks at Captain Birdsong in confusion. Birdsong is a silver pegasus with a spiky purple mane who was responsible for the close air support airships.

"We don't have a way to move all of our troops and equipment all over Equestria," says Captain Foxhound, a pale blue stallion with a darker blue mane. He was in charge of the heavy bomber units.

All of the Air Force Commanders wore a set of olive Officer Flight Duty uniforms.

"That's why he brought me in," a voice rang out.

All eyes were on the newcomers. In walked: three stallions, all wearing custom suits and sunshades.

"General Apex, thank you for granting us the opportunity to be here. We will do everything we can to help with the war efforts," replied the dull blue unicorn.

"It's a pleasure Mr. Nimitz. Thank you again for providing us resources," replied the general with a grin.

"It's no problem sir. We figured y'all would need a carrier, that's why I brought these two," he motioned to the two other stallions: one was a black earth pony stallion with a neon green mane and the other was a light grey pegasus with a blonde mane.

"Mr. Nimbus, Mr. Cipher to what do we owe the pleasure?"

"As you may know, my company, Paladin 9 owns three of the four super airships, correct?" asked Nimbus, the grey pegasus.

"Yes, we do," replied Apex, "What of it?"

"Mr. Nimbus and myself would like to provide our carriers and air forces to aide in the war effort," Cipher deadpanned.

"For a fee right?" asked Zippo in a slightly irritated tone.

"No, we will provide the equipment and manpower, free of charge," chimed Nimitz.

He then pulled out a projection crystal that displayed the four super carriers: Behemoth, Spirit, Fortune, and Meteor.

The generals looked in awe of the massive airships as Apex grins with gratitude.

"Thank you gents. You have no idea how much this means to us," says Apex.

"No problem sir. And I also hear that other PMCs wish to aid you. Vigilant Sword of Echelon, Ice Diamond of Diamond Dog Inc., Toro of Vampiro Corp., Disruptor of Black Arrow, and Black Sands of Raven Sword all wish to send resources," replies Nimitz.

This makes Apex's smile grow as he lets the news soak in.

"Gentlecolts, I believe we have a fighting chance."
