Battlefield: Equestria (Part 1)

He was on the train on his way to the Crystal Empire. He was to meet Princess Cadence and Shining Armor today. Twilight wrote a letter to her brother telling him about Recker. He said that he and Cadence both just had to meet him. He was somewhat nervous,  all he could think was what if they didn't like him? He held onto the picture of the original members of Tombstone. That stupid face Pac and Reck where makeing made him smile every time. And the fact that Dunn was smiling made his smile even wider. Dunn almost never smiled, let alone laugh. He remembered after the picture was taken, Dunn started laughing

"You guys are dumb asses." He said while laughing. When Dunn laughed, you knew it was good.

"That's what we are Dunn." He put his arm around Pac.

"We are dumb asses." That made him laugh more.

"Recker?" He looked up at Twilight.

"Yeah?"

"Who is that a picture of?" He pointed to each one that he named.

"That is Pac, that is Irish, and that was Dunn." Twilight looked at him confused.

"Was?" Recker looked down.

"He died in Baku. The sea look him." Twilight instantly regretted asking that.

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know."

"Its okay. You didn't know." He put the picture away and pulled the REX out. It wasn't loaded, the bullets he had in a separate pocket. You never know when you might need it. He also had Wolf tooth. He carried that with him too. Again, you never know. He was told to wear his ghostex clothes for this occasion. Made him look more like a soldier.

"You nervous? " Twilight asked.

"Yeah a little."

"Its okay, my brother is really cool, he isn't anything to be nervous about. Him or his wife." He felt somewhat better after being told that from somepony who knew them. The train stoped, they had arived. They got out and walked to the castle. The ponies gave him a look, and he gave them one back. He had never seen anything like it. Crystal ponies? Now this was new territory. They walked into the castle and to a Thorn room. There where two ponies sitting down on them. The stallion look at them and he looked excited.

"Twilly!" Shining Armor he guessed.

"Shining!" Yep. They ran into each other and hugged. He then looked over to Recker.

"I'm guessing thats this Recker human?" He walked over to him

"Daniel Recker, Sergeant  E-5 in the US military. You can call me Recker or Reck, what ever floats your boat."

"Nice to meet you Re-" His eyes made contact with the REX. "Whats that?" Recker pulled it out. "What this? This is ato meet you Re-" His eyes made contact with the REX. "Whats that?" Recker pulled it out.

"What this? This is a M412 REX. A pistol given to me as I became Tombstones new squad leader. It was given to me by Dunn, before he died in Baku." He put it back in its holster. He looked over to the mare. "You musht be princess Cadence."

"Yes and you must be Recker." They talked for a little while. "Well Recker you seem like a nic-" She was interrupted but somepony shouting.

"Brosiv granaty!" Recker knew what that meant. Russians. But how? A grenade was thrown into the room

"GRENADE! GET DOWN!"

BOOM!

The grenade exploded. "GRAB COVER! ANYTHING TO PROTECT YOURSELF!" They didn't ask twice. Recker took cover behind a Pillar and loaded his REX. They entered through the door. They shot at them. Recker exposed himself just enough to shoot one of them. 12 3 4 5 6. 4 of the six made a new home in the Russians heads. He heard the other ponies screaming in fear. Recker took this as a chance. He rad to the door and picked up a AK-12 and some spare mags. "Whats happening?!" The princess sounded scared. "Russians. But how? Come on, we need to get out of here." He ran down the stairs and out of the castle with the ponies close behind him. A Russian ran I him with a knife. Recker quickly grabbed his arm and countered the attack, shoving his own blade into his stomach.  Recker grabbed the Russians tags and pushed him to the ground. He saw a helo above "FUCK RUSSIAN HE- wait." It wasn't Russian. It started unloading troops, US troops.

Two of them caught Recks eye. "Pac? Irish?" They looked over to him.

"RECK?!" They ran over to them He hugged Irish. "Haha it's good to see you Reck! Man I thought you where dead!" He hugged Pac.

"Recker! How 'ya doing buddie?" The ponies just looked at them.

"I can't believe you guys are here!" Twilight was brave enough to speak up.

"Ummm about that, how did you get here?" Pac and Irish just looked at awe in the unicorn.

"Is that...? And did it just...?" Recker looked over at his Squad members.

"Don't worry, you get used to it." He did wonder how they got here. "Yeah how did you guys get here?" They looked at Reck.

"By helo."

"Well I know that, but how?" They looked at him confused.

"By flying?" He didn't know what to think.

"Listen, I need to get to ponyvile.  And before you ask, its a long story,  I'll tell you on they way there, but we need some helos to get there." They didn't ask any more questions.  Irish tossed him a COM. Recker spoke into it "This is Tombstone Actual, requesting a ride, about 35 Clicks south of our position. Need two helos." The voice on the other end responded.

"Recker? Its good to hear 'ya again man! He have helos on the way right now."
