Out at Canterlot castle a messenger ran towards the throne room carrying an urgent message.

As the messenger ran forward the doors to the throne room came closer and closer, until the doors opened so he stopped in front of them as they opened.

After the large doors opened the guard bowed due to Celestia walking out with a tense look on her face

Celestia looked down at the guard and spoke. "You may speak." She said.

The guard stood up and then cleared his throat. "Your highness I have an urgent message from Ponyville." He replied quickly.

Celestia calmed down some and then spoke again. "Very well, give me the message." She ordered.

The guard nodded and gave her a letter, which Celestia took then read it. The letter read. "Your highness I have discovered an Artic special forces team leaving Ponyville in the direction of Manehatten, I do not know their mission but it can't be good, I will leave this decision to you." It read.

Celestia put down the letter then looked at the guard. "Get Shining Armor, and tell him he's needed over by Manehatten, and tell him to get some elite troops ready for combat." She ordered.

The guard saluted. "Yes your highness." He said running off.

Celestia pondered to herself as she walked towards her chambers. "Hmm, I wonder, I had better keep the element bearers out of this, I don't need to endanger them with this." She said to herself.

____________*meanwhile at the redwood fields*_______

Storm and his teammates continued walking towards Manehatten, soon a figure steps out in front of them and Storm smirked.

"Well well well, bout time you joined us commander.......late as always." Storm said.

Crack Shot, the leader of the team chuckled a little bit before walking towards his team. "Heh, yea well if I recall you are always the last one to go into combat......isn't that right?" He teased.

Storm chuckled a little bit himself before looking up at his commander. "So, mind filling me in?" He asked.

Crack Shot laughed. "Straight to the point as always, fine, our first target is the Manehatten royal guard base just on the outskirts, if we take that out the rest will be a cake walk, I'll fill you in on the rest later, oh and by the way just so you know those element bearers are of no concern to command so we can avoid them." He said.

As soon as Crack shot finished Warp Arka got mad. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? why would we let them live they are nothing but trouble makers, and what's worse is that they are mindless puppets to that bucking ruler of theirs! we should just kill them all right n......" She said before Storm rammed her hard then held his dagger to her throat.

Storm looked at Warp Arka with an icy stare. "Warp, I've never liked you in fact the only reason your still alive is because we need you alive, now normally I would not care about your usual outbursts but this time....." He trailed off a little as he removed his dagger. "Listen closely, if you ever talk of harming my sister again.......I will kill you slowly.......understand?" He threatened maintaining his cold stare.

Warp gulped nervously, she could tell he was serious about this.....so she simply nodded wordlessly.

Crack shot sighed and motioned Jagged Edge to break it up.

Jagged Edge nodded and then walked over to Storm, he then put his hoof on his comrades shoulder.

Storm looked behind him and saw Jagged who shook his head, understanding the message he got up then started walking to Manehatten.

"Come on let's get this over with, I would like to enjoy my retirement in peace.....if you don't mind." He said walking towards the city of Manehatten.

Jagged Edge and Warp Arka walked up to Crack Shot and raised their eyebrows in confusion.

Crack Shot sighed and shook his head then followed Storm.

Sighing at this, Jagged Edge, Warp Arka, Quartz Ember and Partial Dark followed the others.

Storm however was the only one who wanted to get through the entire mission as quickly as possible then get back home, but this mission was special to him, and he begun to remember when he and his teammates attempted this mission before......

_________*flashblack, two years ago, Stalliongrad special ops HQ*________

Deep below Stalliongrad was the special ops headquarters, which housed many spies, assassin's and operatives, inside were odd hallways, they twisted and turned like a maze, but to those who were in the organization, these hallways were simple, and inside this complicated compound was one such assassin, while this assassin was merely a colt he was not a joke.

Storm walked through the complex hallways and smirked as he approached the briefing room door, he threw the doors opened and entered.

The inside of the briefing room was quiet and simple, a large table and chairs with boring maps, in fact the only interesting thing in the room was the ritual team and its leader.

Storm walked forward towards the briefing table and leaned on it.

Crack Shot smiled a little. "So, the pacifist Is finally here huh.......Hmph well then I'll brief you on your mission, there is a Canterlot royal guard base on the outskirts of Manehatten that has a special, magic orb being transported there, our mission is to either seize it for the Artic army, or destroy it so the Equestria guard cannot use it, we cannot allow them to keep control of it at any cost, Warp and Partial you will take the west side, Storm and Sift you get the east side, Jagged and Quartz you take the south side with me, dismissed." He ordered.

As Crack Shot dismissed his team they all left the room through the door, after they all left Crack Shot sighed. "So, why do you have such an interest In this mission?" He said to nopony in particular.....until a shaded pony appeared behind him.

"Because one of your squad members has much potential, even if you don't realize it that one is almost as strong as me, and even stronger than Celestia herself, I would hope that you keep your part of the bargain, if you don't, your precious city, will burn because of it." The pony replied.

Crack Shot sighed. "Your right, its for our own good, that the one you speak of, dies today." He said sadly.

The pony nodded. "Yes, for our own good, although, the lover of our target will try to kill you if you slip up.......don't." The pony warned then disappeared in a veil of shadow.

Crack Shot growled a little at the pony's arrogance then left the room himself.

__________*three hours later, outside the Manehatten base.....east hill*________

Storm and Sift walked up the hill carrying the bodies of two dead unicorns on their backs clearly not bothered by the weight.

While walking Sift looked up at the setting sun and spat then continued up the hill.

Storm chuckled then turned around and stopped. "So Sift, you want to do the ritual this time, or sould I?" He asked teasingly.

Sift looked at him and sighed. "Your turn, I hate this ritual anyway." She replied getting a smile from Storm.

"Ok ok fine I'll do it, just don't be mad if it's a full moon, or I'll eat you alive." He teased with a short laugh.

Sift just shook her head and continued walking as Storm did the same.

________*at the top of the hill thirty seconds later*________

Storm walked over towards the middle of the flat hill and dropped the dead unicorn, then he flew up to the sky and grabbed a few clouds, he then shaped them into symbols and flew back down.

Sift dropped the dead unicorn on her back on top of the other one and then turned around to keep watch.

Storm put the cloud symbols in a pentagon pattern, he then made a dirt path from the dead unicorns and made some more symbols in the ground and then walked over to the dead unicorns and pulled out his dagger, then slashed both of the bodies which released blood that filled the symbols on the ground, he then sat in the middle of them all and began chanting.

Sift meanwhile kept a vigilant guard to keep Storm from being interrupted, unlike her colt friend she hated the next part of the ritual, the fusing of the blood, clouds and body.

_______*two minutes later*_______

Storm stopped chanting as he felt the cloud symbols and the blood symbols merge with his body, he liked this feeling, it was one of power, unlike his mare friend.

Sift kept a watch as she started feeling something behind her, so she turned around and saw the final phase of the ritual, Storm's voice then began booming through the air as he spoke a dying language, and as he spoke a gigantic purple fireball began forming above Storm.

Sift then looked up and gasped, somehow in place of the sun was a full moon. "Oh no, Storm! fire it as soon as you can.....forget the mission!" She yelled.

Upon hearing this Storm launched the fireball which in its wake left a buring trail and burned the ground beneath it as it flew towards the base.

Storm then turned around at Sift with a confused look on his face. "Sift what is it? wait, I know that look........." Storm trailed off as he looked up, then started screaming as his bones started to break.

Sift ran up to Storm and held his shoulders......only to have him push her away in the process.

Storm continued screaming but managed to get a word out....."Run." He forced through the pain.

Sift began backing up, but soon was breathing heavily as Storm began to change into something else entirely.

Storm's hooves soon became claws, his tail changed into that of a wolf, his hair changed into a very scruffy spike, but the worst change was the rest of him, his fur became thick as his ears changed into wolf ears, and his face, his teeth became sharper than iron and far longer and the worst part was......that howl.....that terrifying howl.

As Storm was nearly completely changed, he looked up at Sift and let a tear out before his eyes became black pupils and his irises became a dark blood red.

Sift began running for she just wanted to get away before he howled, but she was too late.

Storm's werewolf howl was horrifing as it sounded like a scream, a loud roar and metal grinding against itself, but the worst part of it was that it paralyzed Sift in her tracks whenever she heard it.

Unable to move because of her fear, Sift then saw a group of royal guard appear from the darkness and surrounded her.

Sift then realized that they had cast a paralysis spell on her, she then smirked. "Perfect, I can distract Storm with their blood so I can get away." She thought.

Sift's leg started to glow as she broke out of the paralysis and then pulled out her own dagger, she then flew behind one of the guards as he lunged at her, she backstabbed him letting his blood spill out, then Sift let out a sadistic smile as she proceded to kill guard after guard.

__________*one minute later*________

Sift stood panting in the middle of all of the guards and gasped as she heard a deep growl behind her.

There right behind her was Storm, who roared and then pounced as Sift screamed in pain.

Storm wildly slashed at Sift again and again until she stopped moving, he let out a feral howl and blacked out.

_______*the next morning*_____

Storm woke up feeling more relaxed than ever, he felt a body with his hoof and looked to his right, he screamed as he felt his heart break, Sift's body was laying next to him, motionless, but before Storm could stand up he felt a tingle at the back of his neck, he clutched his neck and he soon passed out.

Author's Note

Not the best work I know but then again.......I'm not the best writer so please don't be expecting the best work ever.

Yes if you are wondering..........Storm is a werewolf so now you know.

As always I hope you enjoy.

Edit: I know I didn't edit the previous chapter, but I was reading this chapter to refresh my own memory and I......I couldn't read it, it was atrocious, I didn't change much in the story, but it is easier to read now, so that's a plus.
