The Equestrian Battlefield

Cantorlot sniper school Tuesday 23 0.800 three years ago, Shadow Magic was listening to his teacher as he learned to be a sniper he was enrolled by his wife’s older brother due to shadow gift with a rifle.

“Alright there’s one thing you need to know, you may be holding a sniper rifle but it dose not mean you’re a sniper, the only way your considered a sniper is when you earn your hogs tooth.” The teacher said and dismissed the class Shadow walked out and back to the place he and his wife were staying at while he was taking the class his in laws home they were amazed that Twilight married a skilled sniper. He returns to his temporary home and is greeted by his wife.

“Welcome home Shadow Magic how was your class?” she asked giving him a welcome back hug and a kiss on the cheek he smiles. “It was great but I did find out that I’m not considered a sniper until I earn my ‘hogs tooth.” He says she perks up

“I read about that it’s when you take out snipers who looking for you and you take the bullet out of his gun that was meant for you.” Shadow looks at his wife and then nuzzles her.

“You been reading my book have you.” He looks at her and she just smiles and kisses him.

“And what if I have you knew I would anyways.”

(Present day)

Shadow was on the roof tops with his spotter while his team was on the ground in a firefight. The sniper has five confirmed kills in this fight now that the high value target is on his way he takes aim and waits. The spotter was ready to look for the transportation the target would be in. soon the spotter  went backwards and Shadow looked at him and saw a bullet wound right in his head  he picked up his radio.

“Spotter down spotter down there’s an enemy sniper in one of the buildings!” Shadow scanned the area and spotted the Sniper and took the shot and killed him the target showed his face and Skull fired his assault rifle killing him, the rest of the enemy was killed and the squad could rest. The Team got in jeeps and they drove off to the base in the deepest part of the city and the team goes into there tents and debriefed but soon they be on there the way to the airport to head home. The enemy army came bursting the base with trucks and machine guns there target the squads tent Shadow and them ran out to the jeep and all got drove as fast as they can one of the gunner shot his 50 caliber and hits shadow in the Shoulder and leg Crimson sees it and starts to treat him

“GO FASTER SHADOW’S HIT!!!!” he yells Eclipse hits the gas pedal and goes faster and a chopper gets in front of them pointing his gun them and lets off Eclipse hands his rocket to Kelvel and he shoots it but the tires were shot and Eclipse loses Control

“OH SHIT!!!!!!!” the whole group yells the land Straight in the water and the jeep starts to sink

The group almost panics and then the group all talks about getting out Crimson finishes patching up shadow but his left leg was broken Shadow looks at the squad and looks at them

“GO save yourselves” he says they all look at him and they all say together.

“WHAT!!!”

The Jeep was sinking and Omega Squad was looking at Shadow as he was stupid he told them to save them selves and leave him behind to die they all looked at each other remembering the good old days when they met to joining.

“GO save your selves leave me behind its no use.” He takes off his dog tags and hands them to Eclipse.

“Were not leaving you Shadow we all made a pack if one dies we all die.” Crimson snapped at him Shadow handed his gun to Skull.

“Give my dog tags to Twilight tell her and the girls I love them.”  Skull nodded and took aim at the window and was getting ready to fire.

“Skull don’t do it we staying with him”. Eclipse said Skull fired the pistol and water flowed in like a new lake was being made the omega squad members all swam out except Shadow he sealed the entrance with the escape raft and waited for death.

…..

Omega squad reached shore and soon the commander was contacting them.

“Omega squad come in pick up lieutenant.” The commander said waiting Skull picked up his radio and answered.

“Command this is second lieutenant Skull. Shadow is dead.” He waited for them to reply.

“Say that again solder. Did you say Shadow is dead?” the commander said shocked.

“Yes sir we lost an omega squad member today.” Skull replied.

“May Celestia have mercy on him.” The squad members all got into the evac plane and was on there way back home they arrived in a few days to break the news to there families and Twilight.

…..

On the day they arrived they walked out in there uniforms, there wives watch them come out one by one and Twilight noticed Shadow was not with them. The surviving members hugged there wives soon Skull approached Twilight with Shadows dog tags in his hand.

“Where is Shadow Skull? Please tell me he not trying to scare me?” Twilight asked with a worried look Skull looked down and held out his dog tags in his hand.

“He….He gave his life to save the rest of us I’m sorry Twilight he didn’t make it.” Twilight took the dog tags in her hands and then wrapped her arms around Skull crying her eyes out all of them looked and saw the dog tags in her hands.

“Is he….Dead?” Applejack said looking at Crimson he nodded and all of them went to comfort her.

Twilight looked at the dog tags seeing his name in them then she found the ones he carved his and her initials into it when he was a Corporal
