Southeastern Vanhoover outskirts

1000 hours

Royal guard patrol 38

Commander Windhover,

Windhover was tired and exhausted after 3 hours after searching the forest for the magical "Disturbance" that had been detected over the past 2 days as they popped up over

Equestria. The new commander of the Vanhoover defense force had them all over the place searching and searching and Windhover and his squad had gotten back to the outskirts when they had heard a massive explosion come from the mountain side above them as they all ducked and jumped for cover.

"Buck it's the Griffins!" One of the younger guards had shouted as the pegasi jumped into the air ready for a imminent attack from above but had seen nothing but the large blaze in the distance as they made their way back down towards

24 minutes earlier...

SFOD-D team, Angel 6-2

Vanhoover outskirts,Equestria

250 meters from the crashsite...

The the large yellow fireball threw Keegan to the ground as Jefferson blew the charges. "Damnit Jefferson I told you blow the helicopter not the damn hillside damn it!"

The men took cover as metal fragments from the now completely destroyed helicopter rained from the sky."You know if there is anyone out here they are gonna come look for what did this right?" The commander of the Spetznaz Specialist team with them Sgt. Aleski said looking at Keegan and Jefferson as a piece of their helo fell infront of them.

"I know Aleski but we know the standard protocol and we can't let it fall into enemy hands" A man in a Ghillie suit came in and looked at Keegan and Aleski.

  "We are picking up a radio signal on our net it's broadcasting on all channels sir." Keegan jumped up and ran towards him. "Can we establish radio contact on the NET's radio frequency charlie?" The man Angel team radio operator and designated marksman continued."Yep, we have been monitoring it and it's been determined that it is-" Charlie stopped speaking a shocked look coming to his face."

Present...

Windhover did not understand what was infront of him it looked like furless apes in clothes with weird patters on it,There was even one that looked like it was covered in leaves and other foliage from the forest. "What the fuck is that!?" The beast infront of him called out pointing a long black and green stick towards him.

Windhover's team had burst into what looked like a small camp of the things as he called out the only thing he thought of. "HALT you vile beasts and stay where you are now!"

Keegan and the Russian sergeant turned around and looked in shock as a white and blue pegasus with a spear stared at them "HALT you vile beasts and stay where you are now!"

He was even more shocked that the horse like creature in front of him was armed and ready.

2 more of the horses dropped from the sky wearing golden armor and holding blades in their mouth's and took a defensive stance at what was probably their leader Keegan observed.

"Come and make us!" Was shouted out by a young lieutenant in the group as the 3 quadrupeds made a movement forward.

"Come any closer and we will fire upon you" was again shouted out.

The three pegasi rushed forward to attack their quarry.Windhover jumping forward over a long and pointing his spear a Jefferson.

"Fire damnit!" Aleski pushed Jefferson out of the way firing at the blue and white pegasus in front of him a red mist appearing in the air around him.

Keegan stood there for a second before getting out of his daze and opened fire on the two armored guards as they tried to flank around to the left,tracers folloing them as they made a beeline to the left side of the treeline in the clearing.

A *Click* was heard as the magazine in his M4 went empty two pegasi lay dead the third escaping in the chaos.

As he went to reload his M4 a faint buzzing could be heard in his headset and then static as it became louder and voices could be heard.

"This is USS-ruxton broa-on all frequen-does anyone hear us?" The message repeated. "I say again this is the guided missile destroyer USS.Truxton does anyone hear us?"

"If any units hear this broadcast please tune into the NET on channel 76-12." The message kept repeating Keegan smiled and quickly turned on his headset and set it to the radio frequency.

"This is Corporal Keegan of the U.S. army Delta Force we read you loud and clear over,Who am I speaking to at the moment?"

"Terrence Monroe United States Navy Keegan,Where are you sir if I may ask?" The radio operator sounded a little joyful at the moment to Keegan's ears.

"We are currently by some weird city in the distance and it seems to have a weird populace sir." Keegan replied.

"What do you mean *Weird* Corporal?" The voice on the other side was tense and hard now.

"Well we just encountered fucking talking horses armed with spears and swords sir." A *Gasp* was heard on the other side of Keegan's headset.

USS.Truxton CIC

1222 hours

63 Nautical miles southwest of Vanhoover.

"What the hell did he just say?" Reverberated throught the now silent CIC of the destroyer as they raced north a MQ-8 Firescout having detected a large explosion in the vicinity of the town they were heading too having monitored the Delta's position for 25 minutes and deciding to break radio silence the Truxton had broadcast on all frequencies trying to get the Delta's attention, And now they had it and were going to extract them as of now the Helo that has been on patrol long since returned after spotting land in the distance and doing a flyover of the apparent landmass in the distance as the destroyer closed in.

Keegan's voice repeated again through the CIC loudspeakers. "A damn horse a fucking horse sir!" A second voice cut in.

"Looks like a pony to me Keegan" The voice said.

"Alright Keegan connect fully to the communications NET and send traffic your traffic though there for now on, over"

"Copy Truxton, When is any Evac coming?" Keegan looked at his watch now reading 1243. "Damn it's been that long."

"Evac will be there in 32 mikes,Truxton out" Terrence Put down his headset sweating after the conversation he just had with a apparent Delta Force unit on the ground.
