TIME- IRRELEVANT

We all had our places to be, and we all knew what we were going to do on this day. I got every pony up at 0300, and we all got into our uniforms for the day. Kill Shot's group went to the bridge and to look for the ponies that would start the commotion on the side of the bridge the general would be on. My sniper was in full alert mode looking for any and all activity that would block or mess his shot up for any reason. Today’s shot would be the most important shot that he would ever take, and it all had to be perfect, the sunlight, the wind, the angle of the planet, and the round itself. I along with my team was getting into place as the sun came up. We all had to make sure everything was going to be right, and that nothing would go wrong. I had the black armored pony’s making their rounds, and getting to know the n.l.r.s.p positions for them to be taken out on the order I would give. I told every pony that I wanted no n.l.r deaths today except for the general, and that if it had to come down to it the n.l.r ponies in everyday uniforms would be shot with the rubber rounds they all had bought in Bitter Creek. The parade was to start at 1200 on the nose, and the precession would be at the bridge at around 1230, that’s when the ponies that would start the commotion that would put all of this into motion. Once the shot was taken, and the general was confirmed dead we would all gather at the Canterlot train station. The 6 ponies of harmony would join us on the train back to Neighvada. After we talked to the mayor about moving the town to our base she agreed, and the train would take any and all ponies who wished to join us at our base. Ponyville would become a hotbed of activity for the n.l.r, and would more than likely be overrun by them after the shot. With that likely hood it took no convincing the mayor to agree to allow the entire town to join us in Neighvada where they would be a lot safer than if they had stayed in Ponyville.

The time was now 1215, and we all were in position all we would have to do was to wait for the parade to make it to the bridge. As the parade got to the bridge the commotion started with 2 ponies’s arguing over a spot to watch it from, as the guard detail went to settle this they were cut off from the parade by ponies now on the bridge between them. The guard detail was now in absolute confusion and had no clue what was happening. That was until shots started being fired at them, it was Kill Shot and his group with the rubber bullets, as the guard detail was taken down with non lethal force the n.l.r.s.p showed up. Now it was time for my armored ponies to act, they surrounded the n.l.r armored ponies, and quickly got them to surrender. As soon as all guards were in our control I went to the general dressed in n.c.e armor, and as I got to him, "DO YOU REMEMBER ME YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH? HERE MAYBE YOUL REMEMBER THIS SCAR YOU LEFT ME AFTER KILLING MY PARENTS." He looked at me in shock, as I said to him these words "I TOLD YOU I WOULD SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE HUNTING YOU DOWN DIDNT I?"

He looked as if he was about to have a heart attack as I levitated my 9mm between his eyes, and said the last words he would ever hear. "PAYBACK IS A BITCH ISN’T IT, NOW IM GOING TO KILL YOU." "BLAM,,,BLAM" at that the general was dead, any n.l.r guards that tried to make a move to the spot were taken out by my sniper. The sniper covered our escape to the train depot then made his escape out of the castle killing any pony that got in his way. As we all met at the train station we heard an alarm sounding in the background. As we got on the train I had the armored ponies guard the roof and the airspace over the train. I put one in the engine, and the other in the back of the train to discourage any and all attackers that were likely to be coming for us.

As the train pulled into Ponyville almost half the town was waiting for it, and had almost all they owned with them. Smoky called out of the engine "ANY PONY HEADED TO NEIGHVADA THIS TRIAN LEAVES IN AN HOUR, TICKETS ARENT REQUIRED, BUT MAJOR READ MUST VERIFY WHO YOU ARE BEFORE GETTING ON. AGAIN I LEAVE IN AN HOUR." The 6 ponies of harmony were already onboard the train with Kill Shot and his group of ponies, the mayor was with them as well as every foal, filly, and colt. Mrs. Cheerilee was onboard as well as the Cakes, Granny Smith, and several other ponies as well.

Top wing had been ordered to fly escort for the train, and they were on standby at Mare Mar, the base was basically empty now with the exception of a few ponies who were asked to stand guard to make sure the base wasn’t taken over. The new former n.l.r.s.p ponies that I now commanded were now willing to help us out and be new members of the n.c.e, and were ordered to stand watch at the gates as well as the bridge; if Ponyville was going to fall it would be over our dead bodies. As the last few ponies boarded the train we all got ready for a very interesting ride ahead. I had an advanced group of ponies make their way to the Rocky Mountains, and prepare for any attack the n.l.r would be planning to launch from there, and as we started to move the ponies in the mountains reported to me that no ponies had come yet, and the way was clear. We were in for a long and possibly exciting ride, every pony was on edge knowing that the n.c.e had just become a force to be mess with, and we all were ready for anything. As we pulled out of Ponyville i called Ruby over to me, and gave her the note that Grey Hoof had given me.

"HE’LL BE WAITING FOR YOU IN BITTER CREEK, I KNOW YOU ARE READY FOR A MISSION, AND TEAM ALL YOUR OWN, AND I TRUST YOU TO COME BACK ALIVE. WHEN WE PULL INTO BITTER CREEK I’LL HAVE EVERYPONY IN OUR GROUP GET OFF THE TRAIN, AND YOU CAN PUT YOUR TEAM OF MARECENARYS TOGEATHER OK." She looked at me with tears in her eyes, and looked at Harmony, her already second in command, and said to me "YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO ME MAJOR, I AM HAPPY FIGHTING AT YOUR SIDE, BUT I KNOW THAT THIS MISSION CALLS FOR MARES, NOT COLTS I WILL MAKE YOU PROUD OF ME MAJOR, YOU CAN COUNT ON IT. HARMONY START GETTING ALL THE MARES TOGEATHER, WE ARE GETTING OFF IN BITTER CREEK."
