Hawk Eye 5 - Down

Wow, didn't think I'd get back to this. I changed my mind, and I know I seem like a douche for totally just forgetting this, but hopefully i didn't really spoil too much. Let's get started. . .

The trek through the forest would be a long one, considering this was a search and rescue mission. I looked over at Applejack, an expression of drowsiness masked her. I noticed Pinkie Pie, she had calmed down a bit, and wasn't her usual perky self. Rainbow Dash didn't look to hot either. These three had been through a bit since we had 'arrived'. I checked the clip in my AK-47. We had been walking for 15 minutes, and the silence around us was deafening. Rememeber: Look for movement, keep an attentive ear out for noise. Rainbow Dash was the first to break the silence.

"I know we're looking for the others, but nothing is happening, and this is boring." She muttered. I sighed loudly. She glared at me. "You sound like Rarity. Anyways, This would be easier if we split up."

What a terrible idea. "That's a good idea! Wait, it's not. One gun, 4 people. The next thing we want is for more missing peo- ponies."

"Fine." she said.

"Well, we can't give up. They got our friends, and these, uh what did ya say before?" Applejack inquired.

"Commie Bastards."

"Yeah, that. We can't let these commie bastards get in the way of us!" She said proudly.

I just smiled. There was a shuffling in the bush. 4 heads turned to the right. I quickly pulled my weapon up to my shoulder, aiming down the barrel. " Who's there?" I simply stated. All of a sudden someone fell out of the bushes. I heard groaning.

"Ugh, that's the last time I mix drinking with guns." He said with a hearty laugh.

"Dmitri?" It had to be.

"The one and many! Wait, I mean only." He said with a slur.

"Hold up. You're friends with the Russians?" Rainbow asked?

"Oh, no no no! Not at all my adorable little friend." I got a glare from her, but she seemed to keep listening. "No, Dmitri was with us when the plane crashed, he's just got a Russian background is all." They were contempt with that answer. I walked over and hugged him, more of a bro-to-bro hug. Then I noticed. "Wait, are you fucking drunk?" Jesus.

He walked, more or less stumbled, over to the 3 mares. "Whoa, when did the talking color things get here?" I facepalmed.

"God, this is what, the 2nd or 3rd time this has been explained." I just decided it would be best to wait. "I will have answers soon, my friend, but first, did you happen to cross any other ponies?" He nodded.

"I think I did, but I'm too drunk to remember. Well, now that I think back to it, I did see them, but, I can't remember where, but it was only about 5 minutes ago."

"Only 5 minutes, well they can't be to far, now can they!" Applejack said happily.

I really didn't want Dmitri shooting a gun when he's drunk! "Rainbow, you mind taking tipsy back to Ponyville, while these two and I go looking for your friends?"

"Well, alright I guess, you can count on me!" She saluted.

Princess Celestia was sitting in her private chambers. She had been finally been relieved that her duties were done for the day. She just lied down, when a knock came on the door. She could only grind her teeth on her way to the doors. She opened it, with a stoic expression. "Yes?" trying her best to not sound completely pissed off.

"Your Majesty, a letter from Ponyville." answered the servant buck.

"Thank you. You may leave now."

"Yes, your Majesty." he said, as he squirmed away.

A letter from Twilight? She opened the letter, and began to read it.

Dear Princess Celestia,

Your presence is highly needed at Ponyville, for it appears we have some 'special visitors' from who knows where. Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rarity are missing and I'm beginning to worry. One of these humans, as they're called, is injured badly, and we need someone who has medical experience to do surgery.

Twilight's Most Trustful Assistant, Spike.

Celestia began to panic. The thought of harm to many ponies would be devestating. I need to get there now, my student and her friends, and possibly others are in danger. She immediately stood up, and walked to the door. She opened it with her magic. "Guards, retrieve my sister and a surgeon, we're needed at Ponyville, as fast as possible." They nodded, as one went to Luna's private chamber, while the other escorted the princess of the sun to one of the royal carriges. Time for a little trip to Ponyville.

"Come on! You can't even walk 10 feet without smacking fast first into the dirt." Rainbow Dash complained.

Dmitri slowly stood up and caught up to the hot headed mare. "You've never tasted alcohol in your life, have you?"

"Tasted what?" Rainbowdash inquired. He pulled out a clear bottle with liquid in it.

"Vodka, you know? How do you not know what alcohol is? What a shame." He took another small swig of the drink. "Well, I doubt you could even handle it anyways. . ." He trailed off, muttering something about, well, who knows what.

"Oh, I can handle it!" she grabbed the bottle with two hands, and took a small sip. She regretted it instantly. "Holy crap, that tastes bad."

Dmitri just laughed. "I told you!" he said, as he grabbed the bottle. Now, I'm not sure if you know this, but a pony's ability to stay sober after small amounts of the drink, is difficult.

Rainbow Dash was trying to walk, but she had an incredibly difficult time even standing. "Ugh, how do you drink this stuff?" she slurred at him.

"Many years of practice! I've been drinking since I can recall." Vodka everyday, any day was his motto.

The rainbow maned mare fell over and moaned. Dmitri just laughed, and picked her up. He slung her over her back like an infant. "I like you, very funny." he said, as they slowly began to reach the town.

Well, its short, but I wanted to get something at least out there. Not too much action, but that's not what it's always about. I'll keep working, I promise. Merry Christmas!
