Fireteam Harmony

"I think I can force the Psion Flayers out of the cortex! Then, they're all yours!" Twilight's Ghost announced as three blue glowing circles appeared in the Cabal hangar, one on the left, one on the right and one on the landing deck in the middle.

A Ghost is a guide assigned to a Guardian of the City.

Out of the three circles three thin beings, thinner then most humans and/or ponies, spawned. One out of each.

"I want Rare and Dash on the right Flayer, Pinks and Flutters on left, and me and AJ will focus middle!" Twilight shouted into her mic, built into helmet, the Skull of Dire Ahamkara. It was Twilight's favorite helmet. It used to be an everyday Future War Cult helmet. But when Fireteam Harmony slayed a Beast of Darkness, an Ahamkara, Twilight was inspired by the beast's strenght. And used it's blood and skull to decorate her helmet. She used it's blood to paint it a dull golden color, and fashioned the skull over it.

"Right!" Five voices shouted back through her helmet speaker.

The Psion Flayers were elite soldiers of the Cabal army. And therefore the Darkness, the very force humanity struggled to defeat, had chosen them to wear shields of pure Darkness.

AJ firmly grasped her Red Death pulse rifle as she rushed towards the middle Psion, a pulse rifle is a kind of primary weapon that fired in bursts of three shots. The Red Death was AJ's primary of choice, it sported a bayonet and spikes at the front, the front itself was stained with dried blood. She had found the weapon in the stock of the Exo gunsmith called Gaunt.  It sported a red screen with a white counter for ammo, the counter currently said 27, a full mag.

Beside her ran Twilight, who held her Atheon's Epilogue auto rifle close to her chest. Auto rifles are primary weapons that fired in fully automatic mode. The Epilogue's rounds were infused with Void Light. Light is the power that Guardians and Ghosts used. If they were an engine, Light would be their fuel.

Light comes in three types; Arc Light, the power of lightning - Solar Light, the power of fire - and finally Void Light, the power of the unknown. Twilight had found the weapon amongst the remains of Atheon; Time's Conflux. A gigantic Vex Minotaur with direct control over the flow of time. While raw kinetic power wasn't the Atheon's Epilogue strong suit, it made up for it with raw rate of fire. Clocking in at a startling ninehundred rounds per minute. The Epilogue was a shiny shade of brown.

The middle Psion saw them coming and retreated to a stack of crates at the outer edge of the platform.

"I have an idea!" AJ said as her Red Death vanished in a shimmer of Light, her heavy weapon, the Steel Oracle Z-11, taking it's place. It was a rocket launcher whose rockets were infused with Solar Light. Her plan was to use the blast of the rocket to knock the Psion over the edge. The Cabal hangar was at the top of the Dust Palace, a massive skyscraper within the Martian city of Freehold.  So even a Cabal, no matter how big, would flatten to the width of a pancake at the bottom.

"Do it!" Twilight replied.

AJ grinned under her helmet, the Helm of Saint-14. The Helm of Saint-14 was a shiny silver color, with a thin vertical purple line down the middle for a visor, a mohawk of purple feathers graced the back of the Helm. She jumped into the air, channeling Light throughout her body to weaken gravity around her so she could float above the Psion. Pinks had dubbed this particular way of channeling; Lift. She fired the rocket at the feet of the Psion, the shock wave carried it up and over the edge. It fell to the dunes of red sands below with a gurgling scream.

The objective indicator on the Heads Up Display of all six members of Fireteam Harmony filled up a third of the way, signaling that the Psion was dead. The helmets of Fireteam Harmony had a digital display on the inside. The Hud, as Pinks had dubbed it, displayed various pieces of battle assesment info. Their objective was to kill the three Psion Flayers.

Satisfied, AJ and Twilight sat down and waited for the other four to finish their part of the objective.

Over to the left, Rare channelled Light around her. Stalker, as Pinks had dubbed, bent light around Rare so only a distorted image was visible in her place.

"Dash now!" Rare yelled as she jumped away from the Psion the two of them were tasked to kill. Dash taking her place with a thundering ground pound. Fist of Havoc, as the ground pound was called, was Dash's Super. Pinks had this habit of nicknaming certain techniques that the six used, Pinks had chosen the nickname 'Supers' for the technique of completely filling oneself with Light after she discovered how 'super awesome' they were. Dash and Rare focused on one particular type of Light, namely Arc Light.

The arc Psion vaporized in a flash of Arc Light.

"Never gets old!" Dash said as she and Rare high-fived. The two of them walked over to AJ and Twilight and sat down with them.

The objective indicator on the Huds of the six filled up to two thirds of the way.

On the right, Flutters was flying above the solar Psion with her favorite special weapon in her hands. Her butter yellow wings sticking out of her Prime Zealot Cuirass chest armor. The chest armor for both Dash and Flutters had to be modified to allow them to still use their wings. The weapon in her hands was a grey and red sniper rifle, the Ice Breaker.

It was Flutters weapon of choice as she favored long distance engagement. The Ice Breaker solidified Solar Light into super heated rounds for maximum armor penetration.

Because of this it couldn't reload, but it made the bullets on the fly.

Flutters and Pinks had chosen to go long and close range respectively.

Pinks was using her favorite weapon, the Invective. An Solar shotgun that shoots fast, hits hard and regenerates ammo. It was a shade of dull black with glowing orange decals on the barrel. Shotguns are special weapons.

Primary, Special and Heavy are the three catogories that determine a weapons place in a Guardians loadout.

Flutters took a deep breath and calmed her nerves as she looked the red tinted scope of the Ice Breaker. Pinks seemingly random hopping around was making it difficult for Flutters to line up a shot, but she knew that Pinks was still unloading shotgun shells into the Psion's shield. So she waited.

With one finale shot Pinks broke the shield and channelled Light around her to tear a hole through space, a wormhole, and traveled through it to a safe distance, namely the landing deck.

Flutters smiled a little as she pulled the trigger, the round of hard Solar Light leaving the barrel with a distinct 'zew'. She quickly flew a safe distance away from the Psion Flayer as the bullet impacted the head of the Psion. The Psion died instantly but the bullet still stuck inside its head expanded outwards. The surrounding Legionaries and Phalanx' tried to escape the ball of fire that was right on their heels. Even before it reached them the wall of flame melted their armor. Causing the Cabal to suffocate in the, to them, toxic Martion atmosphere. The ones that were maybe a little more lucky were instantly incinerated. Satisfied with her kill Flutters flew over to the rest of Fireteam Harmony.

With all Psions the Cabal still in the hangar panicked and teleported away.

The objective indicators of all members of Fireteam Harmony filled up fully, saying 'Objective Completed'.

"Good, I'll let the Vanguard know the Psions are dead" Ghost said.

Ghost's body was made up of a black sphere for a center. His eye was black with a blue pupil. With eight prisms surrounding it. He was about as big as AJ's fist.

All members of Fireteam Harmony made their helmets disappear in Light. Letting their manes flutter in the wind. AJ's old Stetson replaced her helmet.

All of their ears folded back upright, sick of lying against their cranium for the last forty five minutes.

Their weapons disappeared in flashes of Light as well.

Dash and Flutters stretched their wings a bit.

"Well, that was easy" Rainbow Dash nonchalantly said.

"Definitely. I didn't even have to use my super" Applejack said.

"I really liked it when the right one exploded!" Pinkie Pie said in glee.

"What time is it Ghost?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"It's twelve forty-five pm" Ghost said.

"Okay, let's see what Xûr's found this week" Twilight continued as she stood up.

"I hope he's found the Suros Regime. That's the last medium to long range weapon that I still need" Fluttershy said.

"We'll see what he has when we find him" Twilight said as Harmony's spaceship landed in the Cabal hangar. When they were all in the ship it took of towards Earth.
