(Year One. Forest, Six Miles from the front line)

A dull gray mare walked through the Imperial compound as many stared at her.

" Look that's the visiting colonel! Salute you idiot!" She heard a sergeant whisper harshly to a private as she passed.

" Good morning ma'am." They said as she nodded passing them.

"Colonel Silver, you know you're suppose to salute them back correct?" A mare followed behind her as she stopped.

"Oh?" Her tone was as cold as ice as she walked back to the two lower enlisted.

"I apologize if I seemed rude. I have a habit of not saluting back when I saw one of my own commanding officers brains get blown out by a Equestrian sniper when he saluted. Good day." With that she spun around leaving two frozen and scared along with the captain that seemed to follow more farther behind.

"CAPTAIN GET UP HERE!"

*Inside the forest*

"ffffffffff-POP!"

" I really wish you wouldn't do that." Dash said spotting for the unicorn stallion next to her.

"Everypony has their vices, mine is gum." He said as she sighed and watched Maud head towards a large building.

"Ffffffff-POP!"

"Seriously dude? This is a stealth mission part of that is being quiet. Which you are failing at." She whispered harshly as he shrugged.

"I told command that I didn't need anypony with me. I never use a spotter because they slow me down. It's why I was named Math Wizz. All my calculations are done up here without paper or need for help." He said tapping the side of his head as she huffed.

" Yeah well I would love to be in my tank where it's dry and doesn't smell like dead leaves and bark. Instead I'm out here with you because command thinks that two ponies with great vision and the top shots is better than one." She snorted as he shrugged.

" Not my problem. Do me a favor and just sit there quietly." He said looking through the scope of his .50 caliber rifle. A bit of overkill since his regular rifle was a stolen Imperial rifle a little smaller than the ammo EA uses but still a good rifle. So far he's bagged over 500 kills. Today he was aiming for his 501st.

"Look sharp. Patrol." Dash whispered as they ducked down as they walked within a few inches from the two covered ponies.

"Dude I'm telling you General Ironside and Colonel Silver are going to be in a thow down. I heard she doesn't salute while on the battlefield and is really loose with the rules. She even has some kind of messed up honor of helping the wounded enemy! She's been called a traitor a few times and with this last thing she did it might just end her." A mare said as she sat down behind the pair and lit a cig and inhaling.

"Yeah what did she do?" A stallion asked.

"Well I heard she let some Equestrian civilians go after they took a village. You know our orders. Burn everything. Well she let them go and even injured one of our own when he want to follow his orders from command. So now I hear she might be getting her rank taken and busted back down to a low class captain." She said taking another drag.

"Shitty, well when you play loose with the rules bad things happen. Besides after Alpha Base was taken we've been put on the defensive for now. I even heard that Princess Celestia burned all of the 2nd army when they attacked the left flank of their front lines. We can't afford to have ponies like the colonel." A mare said as they all grunted in agreement before moving on.

The two waited for a while to make sure they were gone before sighing.

"Sucks for them that old Silver is with us now." Dash giggled as he nodded.

"Well when you have a good mare like Silver trying to do what's right and then gets shit on all the time I guess you would get kind of tired of it after a while." Wizz stated as the two went quiet.

"Ffffffff-POP!"

"Really?"

*Down in the compound*

"Very well if that is commands decision then I will retire at once. Ladies, gentle stallions." She said taking off her rank and tossing it on the table.

"But I will say this. If you think the massacre of Ponyville was anything to go by, the Equestrians will have us all pay with mountains of bodies. For every civilian we kill a hundred more of our own will fall to them. You mark my words,I fear we have awoken a sleeping giant that none of use will be unable to stop no matter what we do." With that the mare stormed out as she heard the older mare yell after her.

Maud got outside before she was roughly turned around to come face to face with old mare.

"The words you speak are on the border of treason! I could have you shot here and now Captain Silver!" General Ironside growled as the mare smirked.

" I only speak the truth general. Or did you not hear of what happened to the 2nd Army? We have overstepped our bounds and now we will be paying for it with our blood." She said as a group gathered around the two.

"Silence captain!"

They were out in the middle of the compound as the two faced off.

Maud held a straight face as the general was blown in half from the heavy round as her inside spilled out on the ground as thunderous sound of the shot was heard. Maud gave a little smirk before she took off towards the gate where her ride was hopping into the back of the car.

"Get me out of here now!" She ordered as she heard gunfire behind her while they drove away from the compound.

[Hey Maud how did it go?] The mare smiled hearing her sisters voice.

"Pull up here please I need to catch my breath."

[Ohh you still have the driver?]

"Thank you." The mare pulled out a pistol as the stallion turned back to her.

BLAM! The front of the windshield was painted with blood, bone and brain matter as the back of the stallions head exploded from the point blank shot.

"Everything went right on schedule and without a hitch. I'm heading to meet up with your friend Dash and the sniper."

[Ok just be carefull.]

"See you when I get back." She turned off the radio that was in the suitcase and closed it before getting out of the car and going to the back and opened the trunk where a dead mare was and tossed her into the car.

"Another one down and so ends the story of old Ironside and Captain Silver." She said as she took out a MG 34 from the trunk and fired into the car.

BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMM!!!

She watched as the car caught fire from a round hitting the gas tank as she took off in the forest while the car was engulfed in flames.

*A few minutes later*

Maud sighed as her sister gave her a hug while silver eyed mare that looked like Maud walked towards them with a few soldiers that were part of the Imperium.

"Thank you ma'am. Now." She pulls out a pistol and aims it at the two mares while the rest of her soldier aim their weapons at the rest of the Equestrian soldiers.

"Now with that old mare out of the way I'll be head general of the 4th Army and with the Demons of the Battlefield AKA the Elements of Harmony and the Ghost as my offering along with the assassin of the general I believe that will put my place firmly at the top." He smiled as two Imperial tanks rolled up.

POP-FFFFSSSSSHHHHH!!

BOOOM!!

BLAM!!

BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPP!!!!!

Twilight watched in awe as the two tanks were blown apart as Silvers head exploded in a shower of gore while the Equestrians grabbed their weapons and hit the dirt mowing down the other Imperials.

"Sound aus!!" The Equestrians could hear shouts from the woods as a mare trotted out of the woods wearing a camouflage uniform. She was white with a pale blonde mane that was just peeking out of her helmet.

"Hallo. You looked like you could use some help.: The mare smiled with a heavy accent as the mares stayed on edge.

" Captain Panzerschreck Third Maremacht Division, Company B. At your service. Germaney thought it was time we helped out our friends. Prinzessin Luna sent us since she didn't trust zhat swine." She said kicking the dead body. They all smiled widely walking up to the mares and shaking their hooves.

"Thank you Captain Panzerschreck. My crew and these soldiers are in your debt. I'm Colonel Twilight Sparkle." She said shaking the mares hoof before she was brought into a hug.

"Froh, dass wir es geschafft in der Zeit. We would hate for our first mission to be a fail. Come we have some es gibt wurst at ze camp not far from here." She smiled as Dash's stomach growled.

"Sure, I could eat." She smiled as two tanks drove through the forest towards them.

"Wonderva!" She smiled as Twilight and the other girls climbed into their Tiger as the Equestrian soldiers piled on along with some Germane troops while Panzerschreck headed for one of the other tanks and hopping on.

"Entschuldigung." Twilight turned back to see a tan mare with a black mane looking at her.

"Ja? Sprechen Sie Englisch?"

"Ja. Sorry vhen I heard you speak Germane I just assumed..." She trailed off a little embarrassed.

"No problem but my Germane isn't very good but I'm trying to get better. What do you need?"

"Ve vere vondering if you are the famous crew that turned the tide of the var." She asked tapping her hooves together shyly.

"What's your name?"

"Oh! Private Gewehr ma'am!" She said giving a salute as Twilight grabbed her hoof.

"Here's a tip private. Never salute in the field, it makes your commanding officer a target for snipers, ok?"

"Yes ma'am."

"And to answer your question, no we're not. It was with the combined effort of all of my friends and comrades that we were able to turn the tide back and push them on the defencive. Now I have a question." Twilight said as the private nodded.

"Where did you get those weapons?" She asked as the mare looked at her rifle.

"Princess Luna. She let some of our researchers take a look at the weapons you found and took from the enemy along with zhe few tanks zhat you captured. Ve vere able to make our own and sent copies to our other allies but it will be a vhile before zhey can make their own and equip zheir armies to help. At least zhat is vhat Captain Panzerschreck told us." She said getting a nod from the mare.

"Well it's good to finally have some help in this war. I take it since you're here that most of your military is equipped?"

"Ja. Ve even heard zhat zhe navy is being upgraded and zhe panzers you sent us vill be getting a upgrade to from vhat I heard."

"Good we need all the help we can get. We're barely holding our trade routes at sea. Only with our air force are we able to keep them at bay."

Ja! Battalion Kommandant Blitzkrieg is heading zhat way to give support to your air forces and drive zhe enemy from your waters."

"That's good to hear."

"JA! Wir werden es fur diejenigen geben swine!" She cheered as the other germane mares cheered with her just as a small outpost came into view.
