Mission Briefing
Canterlot Castle, Throne Room Top Balcony
Canterlot, Equestria
10:14AM
Meanwhile in Canterlot, Princess Celestia, goddess of the sun, and co-ruler of Equestria, was enjoying her tea out on the balcony. Watching over her little ponies bellow in the capitol, she let out a rather peaceful sigh. "Twilight Sparkle." The Solar Princess saying to her self. "You've made me so proud, not just with magic or friendship, but keeping Equestria in harmony.
Her smile soon ended when she saw a grey Pegasus mail mare dashing at her with uncontrollable speed as if it was her life. She then came to a full stop and dropped the letter. "Whoa slow down there your not late or tardy or anything, I just want you to be safe, Ms. Hooves." Said the Princess with caution. "NO TIME. NO NOTHING. JUDGEMENT DAY! READ NOW!" The mail mare then left off, exhausted.
"That's odd, I don't see that everyday, but it could be importa-" Celestia was cut off when she read the letter in golden aurora magic and her face turn from a curious to a somewhat shocked face. "Oh No... No no no NO NO NO NO!!!!!
NNNOOOOOOO!!!!
That was the sound of the traditional Canterlot voice. As it echoed through the capitol. Maybe even though the entire country of Equestria itself.
Princess Celestia immediately galloped to get a letter from her throne room, writing down words as fast as she can with a ink Quill.
Dear Twilight Sparkle,
My Dearest Faithful Student, you and your friends must come to Canterlot immediately, as you may have to be deployed again because we have a critical hostage situation involving Royalty. Gather whatever you need as Royal Army Helos will arrive sooner than you think. Me and my sister Luna will go over the briefing when you arrive.
-Princess Celestia
Done in a instant she sent the letter with magic, awaiting response from her student.
At the Golden Oaks Library, the Mane 6 were together hanging out until Spike the Dragon came down stairs and vomited a scroll with the Golden Canterlot Stamp. "For you Twilight..." *BURP* Said the midget dragon.
"Thank you, my 1# assistant." Twilight Sparkle then preceded to open the scroll to read.
"Hmm... a letter from Princess Celestia, I wonder wha-"
Twilight Sparkle was cutoff by what she was reading. She had eye pupils the size of a pebbles and her left eye slightly twitching. Her friends had worried expressions on their faces.
"Twilight darling, what is the big deal out of a letter..." Said by the Element of Generosity, Rarity, as she trotted over to a very still Twilight Sparkle only to have the same look on her face.
"Hey! What's all the scary fuss about a let-..." The Element of Loyalty, Rainbow Dash, was silenced as she flew overhead to join in a shocked-face-fest.
"Oh... my..." The Element of Kindness, Fluttershy, did not utter another a word as her skin went from cream yellow to pale grey.
"Don't feel bad girls, Pinkie Pie knows just what to do to cheer..." The Element of Laughter, Pinkamena "Pinkie Pie" Diane Pie, was aghast from the letter as her puffy cotton candy-like hair deflated like a balloon. This was no laughing matter .
"Girls, ah don't really like the look on yer faces cause' ah am concerned..." The Element of Honesty, Applejack, was speechless at just the sight of a letter.
"That's not good at all!" Shouted Twilight. "NOT GOOD NOT GOOD NOT..." she was cut off by Applejack as the farm mare put a hoof over her shoulder to get her attention.
"Calm down Sugarcube! It's another letter involvin' us to save some lives. Nothin' to freak out bout' that seriously, OK Twi?"
Twilight inhaled and exhaled deeply to regain control of herself.
"Thank you Applejack, I needed that."
Twilight looked around and the other including Spike were just standing there.
"Why are we just standing here?"
"Of course she's right! We gotta get going and there is no time to waste!" Shouted Rainbow Dash.
"Alright girls, out the door! Our escort Chopper should be here any second now so let's move!" Under Twilight's orders the 5 other mares including Spike bolted out of Golden Oaks Library. Only to see a CH-60 Black Hawk that just landed in Ponyville right at the front lawn of the Goldan Oak.
Four armed Royal Guards stepped out. The first to step out spoke.
"Your Special Escort Vehicle is ready. Hop in."
The Mane 6 then got into the CH-60 with a helping hoof from the co-pilot.
"Thank you." Said Twilight.
"Nice!" Said Rainbow Dash.
"You've got some nice manners ther' Mister. Said Applejack.
"Quite Gentlemen like!" Said Rarity.
"Ohh... uhm... *SQUEE* thank you!" Blushed Fluttershy.
"Could ALWAYS use a helping hoof!" Jumped in Pinkie Pie with her mane now puffy again.
"I'm with them, thank you!" Said Spike, who was last to step in.
In a instant the Mane 6 including Spike got into their seats and the Black Hawk was Airborne. "Buckle up everypony! Our Destination: Canterlot." Spoke the pilot.
Within seconds the chopper was airborne above Ponyville and exceeded to a max speed of 295 kilometers an hour (183mph) straight to Canterlot.

Canterlot, Equestria
12:05PM
"Do we have the briefing materials needed Sergeant?
"Yes your highness." Said a Royal Guard.
"Good, thou and your section shalt be dismissed."
The guards then closed the door and stood at their posts.
The 6 Ponies in the room awaited for Princess Luna, goddess of the moon, to begin their mission briefing for them.
Team, we have a critical situation in Las Pegasus. Two hours, a violent insurgent group hostile to the Equestrian government attacked the Office of the Las Pegasus Mayor. In doing so, they kidnapped Prince Blueblood, who was on vacation there at the time. The insurgents- known to the Equestrian Intelligence Agency as La Pezuña de los Portros- have launched a major offensive effort against the city in which appears to be a coordinated coup attempt. It is unclear if Blueblood was the primary target, or simply he was discovered during today's attack. Team, this is a high priority mission, locate Prince Blueblood and bring him home safely, at all costs. Local intelligence have been tracking La Pezuña's movements throughout these attacks. It is believed that several hostages, including Las Pegasus's Mayor and Blueblood are being detained somewhere in the vicinity of the city buildings.
"Any Questions?"
Rainbow Dash raised her hoof in confusion.
"What's Blueblood doing there in the first place?"
Luna sighed. "It's a long story, but he was having extreme issues with Royalty. Not feeling like a prince, he went on vacation in 'Pegsus to spend some time away from us. We regret our decision. We did not expect anything diabolical like this to happen, Harmony 2"
"Seems like a unlikely target for ruffians. If a armed generous seamstress like me fights her way through ruffians, I better expect an apology."
"We are deeply sorry for how he nastily treated you as the other years' Galloping Gala, Harmony 3."
"Uhm... what would be the best positive way complete a S&R mission without horrible bloodshed?"
"Stealth. Stealth would be the key to accomplishing anything or any mission without being spotted once. Stealth would involve silently trotting, concealing your breathing, controlling tail twitching, being soundless, and without the assistance of magic, become near invisible. Also, choose your equipment carefully, Harmony 4. Stealth and Cover is your best friend."
"Any other questions?"
"We won't let you Princess. Well Bring him home without any sweat.
"Affirmative Harmony 1, but before your team deploys, we have new callsigns for each of you."
"Awaiting orders!"
"Ready for newer and super cooler dog-tags!"
"Lady-like loves to keep up to date!"
"...of course!"
"Sure like fancy code-names here and ther'!"
"READY AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS!!!"
"OK then, Harmony 1, your new callsign is Tactical. Since you are MANE Team Leader/Commander.
Harmony 2, you are Hurricane. For your fast physical and mental agility wheres no other can tie with your Loyalty.
Harmony 3, you are Nimbus, due to your position as Generosity, like rain that brings life to the plants on the ground.
Harmony 4, you are Tree Frog, as wielder of Kindness, you form a special bond with nature around you.
Harmony 5, you are Baobab, for toughness and Honesty as a Earth Pony makes you battle-hardened.
And Harmony 6, your new callsign is Buster, as holder of Laughter, smile and joy bunker-busts depression."
"Does these new names sound acceptable?"
All six MANEs shouted in unison. "Oorah!"
"Excellent MANEs, that's the spirit! You all have a hour before deployment, go choose your equipment. After that, if you have time, your loved ones will be waiting to wish you good luck. Afterwards, deploy your team imminently."
The Sparkle Family
"Twilight, are you sure about this?" Asked Night Light, Twilight's father.
"You worry us, dear. Going out into the outer regions of our country which are least in harmony." Said by her mother, Twilight Velvet.
"Mother, Father, I protected Equestria more than you ever think. I'm a brave, young mare. You should be gifted to have child as the leading Element of Harmony." Spoke Twilight.
"Dear, you always worried about not reaching your accomplishments."
"But you encouraged me to face my fears that's what made me successful all along."
"Daughter, your right. Ever since that first entrance exam to your last deployment to the Crystal Empire, you succeeded in pretty much everything which was listed as impossible."
Twilight imminently pulled both her parents into a long, caring hug, then broke it up.
"Thank you Father. And Mother." Said the happy unicorn mare.
"Alright my strong big girl, your country needs you, get out there and kick some disharmoned flank!"
"Okay Mom and Dad, I'll see you back home in one piece!" Shouted their proud daughter.
The Rainbow Family
"This is soo awesome! My new callsign is Hurricane, like Commanda' Hur-ah-cane! Oh my gosh oh my gosh OH MY-"
"Alright little Dashie, show your mother and father how awesome your at getting the job done!" Said by the father of everypony's favorite Pegasus, Rainbow Strike.
"Just be safe out there, my only daughter." Said by her mother Firefly.
"I. AM. A BIG MARE. I'm fully capable of taking care of not only my self but maintaining my loyalty as well as other friends of mine. I am the Element of Loyalty." Said RD.
"Then Loyalty who is my daughter, get out there and kick some ass!" Proudly shouted Rainbow Strike.
"Strike, don't encourage Rainbow like that!" Said a face-hoofing Firefly.
"I ment, ass, eerrh... plot that is not loyal." Father said correcting himself.
"I may not be a WonderBolt, but I do have the heart of one!" Proudly said RD.
"You know, Dashie, before I retired from the academy, I was actually in the Royal Guard and... yeah long story, you know, go on, get outta here." Strike said playfully.
"10. SECONDS. FLAT!" After saying that, Rainbow soared out to the deployment room.
"Firefly, don't tell her this but when she gets home, I got a 'Awesome' prize for her waiting. Loaded with 20 shells of swarming rainbow rounds of Loyalty" Rainbow Strike whispered it to his wife.
The Belle Family
"Oh my one and own Rarity darling, please come back in one piece please. Said Rarity's mother, Cookie Crumbles.
"I would be very sad if you weren't there for me!" Said her little sister, Sweetie Belle.
"Don't worry mother, even if I get stains, dirt, blood or any other kind of gunk on my suit, I will not hesitate to ignore it.
And Sweetie Belle, no need to worry because I'm always there for you and I'll be back sooner than you think." Spoke Rarity.
"Hey. Little girl." Said Rarity's father, Hondo Flanks.
"Yes Father?"
"I got something for ya."
"Great. Was is it?"
"Alright. Open up your left hoof and close your eyes."
Rarity did as she was told. She soon felt a similar object enter her hoof.
"Open up!"
Rarity opened her eyes.
"Let me guess, another one of those '6-shooter pocket toys?" Questioned Rarity.
"Nah not those kind. It's those kind that keep the burglars out. Spray 'em." Said Hondo.
"It's nice and compact, I'm sure it will come in handy. As well as some fancy artwork engraved on the barrel. Wait, you say it 'sprays' right? What do you mean by 'Spray'?
