Dropped into Equestria

Location…..Above European Union Airspace

                Altitude 50,000ft

                I’ve done many crazy things in my life like moving from cover to cover with only my knife as a weapon while trying to run from a T-90 Russian made tank. But never in my entire life have I been needed to be strapped into a B2 Stealth Bomber’s bomb rack. Although, granted there’s a first for everything but, really they couldn’t…um…I don’t know …maybe just have strapped me to a weather balloon. I mean…God! Sometimes I think The Brass just wants to see me squirm sometimes.

                “Specter 1-1 hope you’re having a good time in there” a voice came over my radio.

                 “Goliath, if I didn’t know any better, I would say you’re eagerly enjoying the thought of me being a human bomb.”

                “Well, I’d never enjoy the prospect of ……… Yeah you’re right it’s a fun thought” She replied with an excited tone of voice, but before I could offer my reply my radio came to life again.

                “Cut the chatter you two, trust me I don’t like the idea either Specter 1-1 but it’s the best way to get you behind enemy lines without alerting anyone. Now, I assume you would want a run down on your mission correct?”

                 “Granted, I already know sir but for the sake of keeping my mind occupied for the moment, why not?” I'm probably gonna get a lashing from the Col. for that.

                  “Alright smartass, Specter 1-1 you're objective is to infiltrate the Euro’s compound once inside, you are to acquire the codes for the SLAMS nodes held inside the facility after you have acquired said codes. You'll be extracted out by an deep undercover agent in the area whose code name is pawn and your counter sight is king. Understood?”

                 “Yes sir, you want me to drop, recover, and look for a spook correct?”

                 “Yes that about sums it up and good luck Major, you'll needed it. Command out.”

                Form what seemed like an eternity, I laid in the bomb bay waiting for the doors to open, yet funny thing when I started to think I could catch some Z’s in this position the bay doors opened and my HUD came into full view in my helmet.What  I saw was an unbridled view of the earth below me; true I was on the dark side of the planet but still I could see mountains, plains and valleys. It was all so breathtaking, but I was quickly brought back to reality by Goliath’s voice over the radio.

                 “Specter 1-1 we are 60 seconds away from drop I repeat 60 seconds.” With a new sense of energy, I’d quickly we  nt over my straps, ensuring they wouldn’t give until I've let them.

                “30 seconds she counted down…

                20…

                15…

                10…

                5…

                4…

                3…

                2…

                1…”

                I could barely hear do to the rushing air passing my helmet. The feeling of falling towards earth at terminal velocity was exhilarating, my body felt cold yet alive as I plummeted. Three minutes passed and I was reaching my half point. When I noticed a strange collection of clouds growing from what I was told by command before I was strapped it was to be cloud free during my fall. I guess Mother Nature said otherwise…funny.  Yet as I grew near those clouds, they began to show signs of lighting as bright white lights flashing in front of me as much as I wanted to stray from course my ERS which showed on my HUD as neon blue triangles. The path I needed to follow and when to deploy my Chute.

                 Unwillingly I keep myself within the triangles which led me through said storm clouds ahead. As I passed through the storm at 24,687 feet above sea level I felt the rumble of thunder and saw the fast and jagged lines of lighting pass by.

                 When I cleared the storm which took 2 minutes I might add my ACDs kicked in. Slowing my speed down to a fraction of what it was allowing me to take in my surroundings. The most shocking thing I saw was what looked like a fucking castle that defined all physics built on the side of a good damn mountain.  As much as I wanted to believe I was on earth that one sight told me all I needed to know I wasn’t on earth any more.

                Looking back to my HUD the altimeter read 500 ft. preparing myself for the forest that lay below me I tighten my hold on the reigns of my Shute slowing my descent even more. But like all forest landing that I oh so happened to be in my Chute was tangled in leaves and branches above.

                Not wanting to remain and easy target I grabbed my ceramic tac knife and cut myself loose. Falling a good ten feet to the ground and landing on my feet then to a roll to soften my landing. Quickly getting in a crouch stance I slowly entered the dense overgrowth and activated my Optic camo allowing me to blend in to my surroundings better.

                Quietly grabbing a case that held my M107 I assembled the rifle and synchronized it with my HUD which gave me the reticle, range and, ammo count. Along Side my SCHAR-H and Colt M119 as well. Quickly checking my gear and making sure that the suppressors to the SCHAR and Colt were secure. along with ensuring the drone, flashbangs and sensors I brought with me 4 of flash bangs and also 4 sensors.

                After getting my equipment set I went to my radio “Specter 1-1 to COM come in COM….” Nothing I tried again “Specter 1-1 to COM come in COM….”

                “Shit” was all I could say before I heard a small voice call

                “Hello is anypony there?”

                “Any Pony” I said to myself in a low whisper to insure that whoever or whatever spoke earlier didn’t hear me. Then I heard that voice again this time clearly coming to my right passed the bushes I was hiding behind.

                “I p-promise I-I won’t h-hurt you, so please c-come out.” It said in a scared tone.

                Looking over the dances flora I hid behind I saw the sources of the voice. A small creature with small wings and an equine like body. Sort of looked like the mystical creatures from Greeken stories. Standing still like a rock I watch the small creature walk; by sticking to AE protocol I followed to observe staying a good 10 feet away. Then it spoke again but in a sadder tone almost if it wanted to cry.

                “W-why d-didn't just stay at the orphanage and waited for dash like she told me to t-then I wouldn't be here in the everfree forest lost.” She started to cry as she just sat down.

                The sight that stood before me pulled on my heartstrings as my HUD updated the Quadra pied from a yellow contact diamond to a blue out line of her silhouette.  Going against AE Protocol I began to slowly advance to the small creature but, I stopped when her head shoot up looking just to the right of herself. She then began to move her ears as if to pinpoint the exact location of said sound.

                 Yet before she could three pairs of yellow eyes began to glow in front, left and right of her. What came next was silence and the smell of urine.

                Looking around I saw faint glimmers of light coming from around the little creature’s body. She had wet herself in fright and not even two seconds had passed the yellow eyes began their advance on the quad pied. Allowing me to see what they belonged to and what I saw again brought my mine back to myth

                “Timberwolves” I said under my breathe causing the small creature to look in my direction as I chambered a round in my SCHAR.

                She looked at me with pure fear in her eyes as my Optic camo began to fade revealing what to her must have been something to harm her more.

                 Bring my weapon to bear towards the encroaching wolves as I raised my weapon I said to the creature; that had just wet herself; in an assertive tone of voice that would have made any drill sergeant proud. “Get behind me now!”

                She did but as she did one of the timber wolves began to run forward attempting to maw her or me down; yet just as it jumped in the air to attack I pulled the trigger of my SCHAR three times in rapid succession sending the wolf down by three well place 6.8 rounds to its chest causing the wolf to crumble into firewood. The other two just seemed to have become infuriated by the death of what seemed like their alpha.  Slowly pacing back from the approaching hostiles I said above a whisper to the small creature behind me

                 “Run.”

                When she did what I asked the timber wolves acted the way I knew they would one bolted after her but fail miserably after I squeezed the trigger three more times killing said creature with a grouping towards its head. The second one managed to swipe at me taking my rife with it.

                “All right you over grown toothpick you want to dance let’s dance.”

                Rolling left as the wooden beast charged strain on I doge. After recovering from the roll I brought up my sidearm to bear. Quickly firing my clip into the beast, but to my dismay the creature shrugged off all 8 rounds. Then charged me before I could reload causing me to holster my weapon and enter into another roll. Skidding to a stop the creature turned again and pounced on me pinning me down before I could pull my knife.

(Scootaloo's POV)

I have no clue who or what that pony was it even a pony? I don’t know nor do I care all I want to do right now is just find ponyville I knew I should've just stayed where rainbow dash told me to but, all I wanted to do was help out seeing how every pony is doing something to help out. Being cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the hurt guards that fought away the creatures from the everfree forest. Now I’m lost scared and also peed myself what would she say to me then huh, Oh Celestia I’m a useless filly just like diamond tiara said.

                Come on scoutaloo you can do better all you have to do is make it home and

                *Scream*

        Right above me a timber wolf keeping me pinned to the ground looking at me with its green eyes its liking it maw ready to eat me. Is this really how it ends for me? Its rearing its head and

                *BOOM*

(Specter 1-1  POV)

        Never in my life have I ever wanted to kiss a tree so badly after being pinned to the ground by a 255 pound haunted piece of timber, an apple of all thing falls from the tree hitting the thing on its head causing the wolf to give me what I also needed at the time space. Taking my SOG knife I had on my front of my vest I unsheathe it and drove it into the leg of the creature further more releasing me completely from its death grip.

        Getting up from the floor once more I turned the knife so I could hold it in a reverse grip. Once it recovered from the apple and the stab from my knife it looked at me with a new and eager sense of death.

        It again charged me but, learning from last I simply did the same but, when it was close to me I jumped up and landing on the back of the creature. Wanting to end this show fast and preferably alive I drove my blade into the head the creature causing it to fall apart as I withdrew said blade.  From its now dead prey I heard a high pitch scream from a presumed an adolescent female child. Quickly grabbing my rifle that had landed a few feet away during the fight I ran towards the noise.

        When I got close enough to the source my HUD came alive again showing the previous quad pied and a new wolf holding her down with its two front wooden paws. Not wanting for the creature to hurt the small quad pied I brought up the M107 from it holder.

         I zeroed in on its head as I went prone; it being less than 100ft away an easy kill from a .50 round.

        Squeezing the trigger of the M107 the hammer struck the pin hitting the primer cap in the back of the round igniting the propellant sending the bullet hurtling towards its target at incredible speeds. Hurtling towards the wolf hitting its now no exist wooden head causing green some to escape it neck as I flipped back the switch from fire to safety.

        Placing the M107 back in its holder I got up and began my walk towards the small creature activating my HUD’s radar/motion detector in case anything else tries to attack again.

         Walking up to the creature I knelt down and deactivated my Optic camo so she could see me. Her eyes were close as she cried and only to open when I sat down beside her and picked her up like I would of done to a toddler who had just lost their family.

        “W-who are y-you?” she asked as she cried in my arms.

        Knowing how I’ve done this before time and time again back on earth during the war I simply told the truth for that always yielded the best results in the end.

        “I’m human and my name is Alex” true I know I should've told her my call sight but something tells me AE protocol was just thrown out the window a few minutes ago with the timberwolves.

        “Alex?” she said with a perplexed face “that’s a weird name.” Her crying began to falter.

         “Well you know my name how about I learn yours?” I asked as she stopped crying but still hiccupped a bit in her speech

        “M-my name is scootaloo.”

         “Scootaloo huh well scootaloo nice to meet you now let me put you down seeing how you look like a big girl that doesn’t need me to curry her.” I said as she jumped off my arms.

         Quickly noticing six weight contacts on my radar closing fast. I grabbed for the first aid kit and produced a Tylenol tablet that I broke in half not sure how much to give her I put one of the two broken bits in my canteen and passed it to her.

        “Drink up Scootaloo looks like you could use a drink of water.”

She took the Canteen in her hooves sniffing the cap at first but then she began to drink the bottle away. When she was satisfied she passed it back and I tossed the remaining water out.

        “That water tasted funny” she said as her eyes began to close.

        “I know kid sorry about that but, I need to go I’ll see you on the flip.” With that she fell asleep next to the heap of dead timber.

        I quickly activated my optical camo and climbed a tree not too far from the scootaloo to make sure the sigs I saw were not hostile. What I saw next did not surprise me at all any more since my fight.
