Dragon of the East

(Next day, afternoon.)

Twilight smiled working out in her dojo with her students while Dash worked the left wing and her the right, she had a new manager of the fitness floor who was named Snowflake.

"YEAH!!"

"Snow calm down!" Twilight yelled.

"Sorry Ms. Twilight!" He called back as she sighed and turned back to her students who were giggling.

"Now for the unicorns I want you bring the magic that found at your center and bring it out, if you need help don't be ashamed to ask it's why I'm here." She said and looked over at the Earth ponies.

"Ok earth ponies lets see what you can do, we all have magic in us so I want you to do the same except bring it out to your legs and arms. The same with you if you need help just ask for it and I'll assist you." She said getting nods and yes' from the groups as she saw much to her surprise Applejack walk in and smile at her while waving, Twilight crossed the room and hugged her before pulling back confused.

"Hey AJ what's up? You here for some classes?" She asked as Applejack smiled.

"Nah sugarcube I was just gonna come by and see if you were free this afternoon." She asked while Twilight nodded getting a big grin from the mare.

"Ok sugarcube but ah do have a little filly here that wants to train with you in the afternoons." She said as Applebloom peaked around the corner and gave a sheepish smile.

"Hey Twilight." She waved shyly while Twilight smiled and squatted down in front of her.

"Hey AB, so why do you want to join my classes?" She asked while she looked at her sister making Twilight smile and look up at AJ.

"Hey Applejack give us a second will you please?" She asked getting a surprised looked from the mare.

"Um ok sugarcube." She replied and walked out as Twilight looked back at Applebloom.

"So tell me sweetie why do you want to learn from me?" She asked while Applebloom looked down and shuffled her feet.

"Um well ah'm tired of being bullied and ah want to protect mah friends, ah'm tired of being picked on and beaten up." She said while Twilight's eye twitched and a thin smile went across her face.

"I'll train you, free of charge but the only thing I need from you is that you stick with it no matter what you give your all Applebloom." She said getting a surprised look from her before she nodded with a determined look on her face.

"You have mah word Twilight."

"Good meet me after school every day from now on, got it?" She asked getting a nod from Applebloom.

"Now go play, this may be the last day you have time for a while." Twilight stated as the filly nodded and took off to find her friends while Applejack came back around the corner.

"What was that about sugarcube?" She asked while Twilight winked.

"Your little sister is mine till high school AJ, if she takes my training seriously then she will be a force to reckon with." Twilight stated getting a smile from Applejack.

"Mind if I come with sugarcube?" She asked while Twilight looked surprised.

"Why? I just asked you if you wanted to get in on some classes." She asked as Applejack blushed.

"After mah fight with Dash ah realized that I only know how to street fight and barely at that ah got lucky that she let up when she did and got in that lucky shot, if she really wanted to she could have really hurt me." AJ said looking down.

"Ok tell you what I'll train you but it's gonna cost you and your going to be trained with AB and I'll be working you harder AJ, you're gonna hate me when we start but know that I'm fair about my training. If you want my training you can't quit Applejack and I'm serious, I don't train quitters." She stated seriously watching the fire in Applejacks eyes begin to blaze.

"You can count on a apple to follow through sugarcube." She said as Twilight pulled her into a soft kiss taking her by surprise but quickly melted to her and moan in disappointment when she pulled back.

"I'll get that payment from you later six months from now." She said smiling getting a nod from her.

"Whatever it takes sugarcube." She said and gave her a quick peck on the lips.

"Ah'll see you later sugarcube." She said heading to the exit as Twilight turned back to her class.

After class Twilight waved goodbye to Dash and Snowflake who nodded while he himself worked out.

"Later guys nice work today, see you in the morning." She said was Dash waved and took to the sky to meet with her mares while Twilight took the time to actually walk through the town and just enjoy the afternoon and started to think.

Over the past few weeks the company has been butting heads with with multiple PMC companies and even strikes against their other bases and safe houses somehow.

Twilight glared at the ground thinking of that, ever since Stormwing, Bravo team, along some of their top expert teams leaving for better offers or to explore new horizons. Leaving her and the few teams left on constant call and Twilight had been going on more and more missions.

As she walked she heard a squeak behind her, she turned and grabbed the falling pegasus and smiled at her.

"Fluttershy? You ok? Need some help?" She asked the panting mare who was holding some large bags of feed and some food for other animals and herself.

"Oh um hello Twilight, um no I don't want to be a bother." She said starting to pull away from Twilight when she felt a weight come off her back and looked to see the heavy feed bags floating in the air beside her.

"No worries Flutters, I'll be happy to help it's what friends are for right?" She asked getting a blush from Fluttershy.

"Are you sure? Do you have to be anywhere important?" She asked as Twilight shrugged.

"AJ can wait for just a few minutes, now hold on." She said gently grabbing her shoulder and flashed away.

(Fluttershy's cabin)

The two appeared just before the bridge that led to her house, Twilight made sure to keep a firm grip on the mare who was wobbling.

"Oh..My." She stated getting a laugh from Twilight making her blush.

"Sorry Fluttershy I should have warned you first." She said hefting the bags on her shoulder.

"Come on Fluttershy I'll bring up the bags." She said and headed to her cabin with the smaller mare behind her.

"Thank you so much Twilight.'' She said softly getting a smile from her.

"No problem like I said it's what friends are for right?" She stated as the reached the door that was opened by an angry looking rabbit till he saw Twilight and smiled.

"He Angel, sorry she's late." She said as the bunny waved her off and sighed looking at the large bags on Twilights shoulder and began to fuss at Fluttershy for trying to get so much at once.

"Oh I know I should have waited but we were really low and I didn't want any of you to go hungry." She said while the bunny sighed again letting them in.

"Where do you want me to set the bags down Fluttershy?" Twilight asked when she felt Angel tug on her pants leg and was pointing to one of the closets.

"Oh ok." She said using her magic to open the door and set the stuff down before turning back to Angel and picked him up giving him a kiss on the cheek and a nice plump carrot.

"Thanks Angel, you're the best." She said as the little rabbit swooned and hugged the carrot to him making her giggle as the mare said goodbye to Fluttershy.

(Apple farm)

Twilight made it to the farm and saw the barn door open making her way over to the it and opened the door to see Applejack smiling with a candle lit dinner waiting for her. Twilight was shocked but it quickly formed into happiness as she looked up at AJ who had a proud smile on her face.

"Glad you could make it sugarcube." She said getting a blush from the other mare as AJ pulled a chair out for her while she sat down.

"Wow Applejack, this is just fantastic." She said looking at the covered plate before AJ pulled the cover off making Twilight's mouth water. She was looking at all her favorites, all her favorite sushi, ramen, dango and a six inch flower sandwich.

"H, how?" She asked getting a smug grin from AJ.

"Ah made a call to Lady Snow and asked her on all the things that were your favorite things to eat and what you did to to relax." She couldn't get the smug look on her face as Twilight looked at her and then back to the food and back again.

"Applejack, I don't know what to say." She stated as Applejack wrapped her in a hug from behind.

"Don't need anything sugarcube the look on your face is all ah need." She smiled while Twilight got a devilish smile on her face.

"So tell me Applejack what relaxes you?" She asked letting her fingernail run up the mare's back and felt her stiffen while holding in a moan.

"Hmmm, tell you what AJ since you went through all this trouble finding and buying this food for me meet me in your room after we're done." She said watching as a blush shot to the orange mares face.

"But first come eat with me, I want to know about your day." She said giving a soft kiss the mare's neck making her shiver.

For the next few hours the two talked and laughed just talking about whatever came to mind after they talked to each others days before Twilight smiled and told her to wait for her upstairs.

As soon as AJ left Twilight flashed away to her house and changed quickly into a set of sexy underwear for AJ and flashed back to AJ's room just as the mare came in freezing at Twilight who was holding a sexy pose on her bed.

"Hello Applejack." She said and got up while using her magic to close the door and locking it behind the mare at the same time leading her to the bed and unbuttoning her shirt before AJ stopped her. Twilight looked up at her confused and concerned that she might have went too fast.

"Twilight are you sure y'all want to do this?" She asked getting a smile as she felt Twilight's lips smash into hers.

(Next day)

Applejack woke up sore and looked down to see the mare she had been wanting for so long naked as the day she was born on her chest sleeping peacefully while a smile came to her face, hoping that this would last for as long as she was around.

Twilight started to stir and looked up at Applejack smiling and snuggled up into her when Applejack's door was kicked open by her little sister.

"APPLEJACK! GRANNY SAID TO COME DOWN FOR BREAKFAST!" She yelled before looking at the two mares in her bed and smiled.

"Hey Twilight! Are you coming for breakfast?" She asked getting a sigh from Twilight.

"As much as I love your grandmothers cooking sweetie, I need to get to my classes for the day." She stated getting disappointed looks from the two girls.

"Now come on you two none of that, I promise I'll try to make it to the next one ok." She said getting nod from the two and got up climbing over Applejack pausing for just a second to give her a kiss before getting out the bed heading over to the shower while Applejack sighed and Applebloom came in. She sat next to her sister listening to Twilight sing in the bath and smiled looking back at her sister.

"So when's the wedding sis?" She asked as the mare grinned at her.

"Don't know, ah'll let you know when I do." She said nudging the filly and got up while the filly left when Applejack heard Twilight start singing in a different language.

(Apple trees and pear trees went into blooming,

River mists began a floating flow,

She came out and went ashore, Katyusha!

On the lofty bank, on the steeply shore.

She came out and sang she song about

Her young friend, the bluish eagle from steppe

All about the one she dearly loved,

The one whose letters she treasured and kept.

Hey, a song, the song of the young girl,

Fly and go after the bright Sun,

Find a soldier on the distant borderlands

Say hello from Katya waiting long for him.

Let him remember the young and simple maiden,

Let him hear the song she now sings,

Let him protect his Motherland for sure,

And their love Katyusha will protect.)

Applejack smiled as she walked into the shower with Twilight who jumped when she touched her but smiled when she saw it was her.

"Hey AJ could you scrub my back please?" She asked getting a nod from the mare as hummed a different song.

"What's that song sugarcube?" AJ asked while turning around so Twilight could wash her back.

"You wouldn't know it AJ, it's Britannia's Grenadiers fife and drum." She stated continuing to hum before getting up and pulled Applejack around giving her a kiss and washing off before jumping out.

"I'll see you later Applejack." She said walking out to get ready for the day.

(3 days later, deep in the boar country side)

[Reaper 1 this is Reaper 2]

[Go ahead Reaper 2]

[Roger you have 30 seconds before you have boocoo tangos on you, I suggest you hurry]

[Got it I'm almost done here, how are things on your end?] She asked finishing the wiring on a demo charge.

[I'm ready up Reaper 1] He stated as a smile ran across her face.

'Not bad rook.' She thought finishing with her bomb just as soldiers burst into the room looking around for her.

"WHERE IS SHE I KNOW I HEARD HER!" One said as a blue flash went through his head.

"I don't-SWEET MAKER!!" The soldier yelled watching half of his captains head slide off before the rest of him crumpled to the ground.

"WHAT THE-HURK!!"

The three soldiers looked back to see his throat slit.

"JUST SHOOT YOU IDIOTS!!"

RATATATATATATATATATATATA!

Reaper smiled as she came in behind them like a phantom appearing out of the shadows slitting the two soldiers necks on the side just as the last spun around as she impaled him with her hand. She looked at the fear in the young stallions eyes and pitied him for a split second, what a waste of life.

[Reaper 1 you still there?]

[Roger Reaper 2 we are oscar mike.]

[Roger that RTB, meet you at objective charlie]

[Roger that Reaper 2 Tango Mike]

Reaper 1 sighed and flashed out of the room and made her way down the hallway to the exit to meet up with her teammate and extract out of the area. As she moved she stuck to the shadows moving with a purpose, while rounding the corner she spotted a armored truck pull up outside as a thin smile crossed her while a smug look came onto her face.

[Change of plans Reaper 2, do you see the APC that just pulled up?]

[Roger that Reaper1 so we're riding out of here in style huh?] He asked making her smile.

[Yep, I'll meet you there] She stated and headed towards the window pushing it open and climbing out as a figure landed behind her and tapped her shoulder making her nod, the two moved quickly as the vehicle parked and the driver got out. Reaper 2 moved in and snapped his neck while the gunner climbed out spotting Reaper 2 before her throat was slit and she was thrown off the top and Reaper 1 climbed in.

"Ok rookie lets move." She said getting a grin from him as they both pulled their detonators out and pressing the button as they blew through the gates heading for extraction while the whole chemical weapons plant behind them blew up in a huge fire ball.

"Haha great job Reaper 2! I guess I can't call you rook anymore." She said smiling down at the stallion who looked back up at her confused.

"Why is that ma'am?"

"Cause this is your first real mission with me on reaper team, this was a do or die mission and your final test. Welcome to the team Long Staff." She said winking at him as a huge grin when across his face.

"HELL YA!"

PANG TING TING TING!

"Celebrate later we got tangos on our six." She said getting into the turret seat as a screen came online showing four SUVs behind them.

"Well I guess their QRF was faster than we thought." She said charging the 32mm cannon and .50cal side machine gun.

"Captain we got more enemy QRF coming from the north!" Staff called back as she looked at her screen to see a G-83 main battle tank round the turn.

"Well ain't that just a load of-THOOM"

"Ok that was way too close!" Staff said as she grinned.

"Oh come on Staff my stal this is where the fun begins." She stated arming the AT missiles.

"Target locked cap!" She heard him yell as the reticle went red.

"Bye-Bye"

Click- FWOOSH!

Twilight smiled watching the missile fly into the air before coming straight down right as the main gun sighted in on them.

DOOOMMMM!

Twilight turned the turret to face the SUVs all with a wicked smile on her face as she fired the main cannon into them.

BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!

She watched the large rounds rip right through them before exploding in a grand fireball while the others backed off.

"Holy shit cap, that was some serious shit." He said hearing her giggle and turned back to her holding out her fist making him smile as he bumped it.

"Now, home jeeves. I have a mare to ravage." She as he smiled.

"To bad you're not straight anymore cap I might have just shown you what a real stallion could do." He said to himself when he felt a hand land on his shoulder.

"Who says I don't go both ways?" She asked making him go red in the face as she burst out laughing.

"I'm so sorry ma'am I was just talking out of my ass!" He yelled as she smiled.

"Oh? Well that's too bad." She said making him blink and look back at her as she moved back into the troop compartment and laid down.

"Wake me when we get there." She called out and pulled her mask over her eyes.

"Damn tease." He said as they drove down the dirt road toward the forest.

[Sorry to disappoint you Reaper 1 but we have another mission for you when you're debriefed] They heard command say as Twilight groaned from the back.

[Roger that HQ we're almost to the extraction point] Staff said as he turned his golden eyes back to his captain who had her helmet off and was laying her head on it making him smile.

'Sleep well cap.' He thought to himself

(Britania 1 day later)

As the chopper came in view the pilots saw smoke coming from the company building as well as firefights going on out front and could see flashes inside the large building.

[Wake up people we got trouble at HQ!]

[To all operatives this is command we're under attack by an unknown group! All returning operatives be ready for combat.]

"Shit lock and load Staff it's time to go to work." Twilight said as bullets pinged off the chopper.

[We're coming in hot, be ready!] The pilot called back just as a round went through his head and landed on the stick making them spin out of control.

[MAYDAY MAYDAY THIS ANGEL 2-1 WE ARE GOING DOWN!!] The co-pilot radioed as a hand landed on his shoulder making him look up to see Twilight.

"GRAB A WEAPON AND HANG ON TO ME!" She yelled over the howling winds as he grabbed a SMG and took her hand as Staff grabbed her shoulder and flashed away just as the chopper smashed into the building exploding.

The group reappeared at the roof of the building and moved to cover as Staff radioed command.

[Command we're on the ground, where are you at?] He asked but all he got was static and looked back at Twilight.

" I think command is gone ma'am." He said as she sighed.

"Ok, here's what's going to go down, 2-1 you stick with us and do what we say when we say it. Don't talk, just listen with the chopper gone we need to make our way down and teleporting you two down forty stories is gonna wear me out plus we need to find out if there is any survivors." She stated getting nods from the two.

"Let's go move out." She stated heading to the door and moving in down the stairs securing the way as they went.

"2-1 stand back and watch our 6." Twilight said her eyes dead and void of emotion along with Long Staff's molten golden eyes that looked like they lost their light.

"R-roger." He said as the two moved quietly through the door hearing the nothing for a few minutes.

"All clear lets go 2-1." He heard Reaper-1 say and went through the door freezing at the amount of bodies both of friends and attackers.

"Lets go 2-1, no time to freak out we have a building to secure." Reaper-2 said as they moved on silencers on moving down the hall with stealth with 2-1 behind them as they made their way down some stairs when Reaper-1 called a hault.

She looked back at Reaper-2 using two fingers she pointed to her eyes then to a room getting a nod from him as he stacked up on the door along with her and 2-1. She tapped his leg giving the ready signal getting one back and cracked the door open tossing in a flash-bang and closing the door again and waited.

"The hell?"

BANG!!

The two burst into the room killing the four guards around the hostages who were gagged as 2-1 came in shocked at the flawless killing these two were able to do as she moved in to help the hostages.

"Stop!" Reaper-2 snarled yanking the girl back as something clicked.

"SHIT! MOVE!!" Reaper-1 yelled as the two jumped out just as the room exploded killing 2-1 and the hostages killing them instantly.

"Damn." Reaper-1 cursed as they got up looking up hearing the door in the next room slam open.

"Lets move and stay low." Reaper-1 said as they got out of the area going down an elevator shaft going down one more floor and quietly opening the door coming in behind two soldiers.

"Can't believe how quick we took this place." One said to the other who grunted.

"The only reason we did was the inside info we got, we still didn't get our targets." He said as the other sighed.

"You think they were in the chopper that went down?" He asked as the other shrugged.

"We can only hope." He said when a blade went through the others head and he was grabbed from the back and slammed into the ground and disarmed, he looked up dazed to see two masked people pointing rifles at him.

"Lets have a little chat hmm?" He heard the mare say making him start to pale and was dragged into a office.

"Reaper-2 clear the area of all Tangos, I don't want to be interrupted." She said glaring down at the soldier who was starting to sweat.

"You're Reaper team?!" He said shocked as she grunted.

"The fact that you know who we are is an extreme breach in security, where who gave you this intel?" She asked as he started to shake.

"Maker be praised." He said as she sighed.

"Fine we'll do it the hard way." She stated driving a finger coated in magic into his kneecap.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

(5 minutes later)

Reaper-2 sighed looking at the pile of bodies by the doorway that they kept charging.

'Honestly, you would think they would try something else than bum rush the door.' He thought as he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned back to see Twilight with a grim look on her face.

"Lets move Reaper-2 everyone else is dead, those hostages earlier were the only survivors in the building and this isn't the only attack. All company safehouses, fronts, and company branches have been hit all at once, we have to disappear and now." She stated as he looked at her shocked.

"Ar,are you serious, there's no way one company can-

"It's not just one, all of our fellow PMCs have banned together to take down Global Security. It looks like they even teamed up with government groups that our business was taking profit from them, these guys are playing for keeps Staff they're not letting any survive." She said as he looked pale.

"Don't you think it's weird that there's no police trying to talk to the bad guys? Look over there at the armored troops over there, it's Britannia's SRF." She stated and took his shoulder.

"Lets go, Global Security is gone. Time for a new start." She stated as they stood up and flashed away just as another group rushed the stairs again.

"The hell did they go?!"

(Parking garage)

Twilight and Staff appeared inside the underground parking garage and headed to the armored vehicle section for company VIPs.

"Lets move Staff it's not safe here we have to get to Equestria." She stated and took off to the gated area shooting through the lock and smiled at the armored SUV.

"Lets go you're on the RWS, don't fire unless we're fired on I don't want any civilian deaths on my hands got it?" She asked getting a nod from him as they jumped in after grabbing some ammo for the heavy machine gun with a rocket attachment in the back and roared away through a police road block.

"Let's go I have a private jet in a hangar waiting for us after I make this call and will be calling in a lot of favors be ready for a hostile take off." She stated getting a nod from him while he double checked the HMG while the shot onto a on ramp heading to the airport calling some friends.

Staff looked up to see three trucks coming up behind them. He sighed looking back to see Twilight still on the phone arguing with someone at the airport while the first rounds hit the bulletproof window.

"Well better say hello." He said to himself charging the HMG and raising the platform it was on and targeting the nearest truck.

"Later."

THOOM THOOM THOOM THOOM THOOM THOOM THOOM!!!!

Staff sighed tearing through each of the trucks when he saw a chopper armed with rockets and two mini-guns.

"Well shit."

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWNNNNNN!!!!!

Rounds hit the truck pinging off the armor but he knew that it wouldn't hold for long, he turned the gun and fired a burst into the pilot seats watching blood spatter onto the window of the chopper before spinning out of control crashing into the ocean on the right side of the bridge.

"Hey nice shot!" Twilight yelled back fist bumping as they went through a tunnel.

"Bad news by the way, looks like someone did their research on me as well as far as anyone helping us they have their hands tied by the government but there is some good news." She stated as he pulled the HMG down.

"Yeah what's that?" He asked checking the gun.

"One of my contacts is going to give us a free ride on inside the airport, once inside they will have the plane fueled and ready to go. But I'm going to have to fly us home." She stated getting a nod from him.

"With any luck we'll be in Equestrian airspace before anyone is the wiser." She stated, coming out of the tunnel.

After a few more miles the airport came into view along with SWAT, SRF and local law enforcement.

"SHIT! STAFF CLEAR A PATH" She stated as he loaded up a some AT rockets and raised the gun firing into the armored trucks blocking the path knocking them out of the way and blowing them in half while Twilight roared through the gate.

"Staff keep them off us when we get there." She ordered getting a nod from the stallion who detached the command terminal just as they pulled up to the hanger.

"LETS MOVE MOVE MOVE!!!!" She yelled as they quickly ran to the plane firing up the engines and taxing out of the hanger while Staff kept the PMC's at bay.

THOOM THOOM THOOM THOOM THOOM

FWOOSH FWOOSH

"This delta 2-9 we are make ready for take off." She radioed. The cargo plane moved slowly down the runway before Twilight hit the afterburners roaring down the runway before taking flight all the while Staff fired at police and PMC soldiers.

After a while Twilight sighed and put the plane on autopilot and looked over at Staff who threw the terminal down.

"Out of range, so cap what now?" He asked as she sighed.

"I need to talk to Lady Snow and Princess Celestia, in the mean time you can stay at my place with me till this blows over. I doubt that they would risk a war with two countries over two people, now get some rest and check the cargo bay see what's back there." She said getting a nod from him.

"Sure see you in a few hours cap."

"Twilight, just call me Twilight or Twi. I'm not your captain anymore, Reaper team is gone along with the company." She stated getting a smile from him.

"You'll always be my captain ma'am." He said getting a smile from her and a nod.

"See you in a few." She said waving while he disappeared in the back and she leaned back in her chair.

'What now?'
