Sunset Shimmer is whole again after the Friendship Games. Her friends are the light of her life and her team is rising among the best. She has nowhere to go but up. And then all hell came knocking.

This story is a sequel to Shooting For Friendship: Romeo Romeo and the My Little Pony Movie Equestria Girls: Friendship Games.

Sunset and company were more than a little surprised to add this world's version of Twilight to their roster, but the girl is smart, enthusiastic and adapting well. All of them were more than happy to let her try playing with them, and Sunset is ecstatic to have someone as smart as her to talk to. Team Shooting for Friendship is on-point.
However, the overt presence of magic is drawing attention. More competent, focused and far-reaching attention. A threat that they should have seen, that will force Sunset Shimmer to make dangerous choices.
If one desires peace… they must prepare for war. Together. One last time.

Inspired by the anime "Tokurei Sochi Dantai Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu" ("Stella Academy Club C³") and the exploits of the ArmA community group, Shack Tactical. Go check them both out.

Rated Teen for occasional harsh language. You'll get over it.

Teaser 0: The Future is Terrifying

"Ah, Mrs. Cinch, thank you for calling..."

"..."

"Well, I am glad you remembered, and I am glad to have you taking this so seriously. Most would find an encounter like yours frankly strange, or think they were going mad. To hear such tales from such such a reputable, intelligent woman-"

"...!"

"Now, Mrs. Cinch, you clearly remember me. Let me ask you: did I look like a man who 'makes fun' of people?"

"..."

"I though not."

"..."

"Apology accepted. Of course I believe you, I have a certain degree of... experience *with these things. You see, you have stumbled across a keystone to something unlike anything since splitting the atom. Unfortunately, in your shortsightedness, you allowed it to SLIP AWAY*."

"..."

"My apologies, this time. My temper can get the best of me, of course you had no idea, but that was such *an opportunity."*

"...?"

"Well, I don't require much of you, just some... logistical touches. We need eyes on the target, boots on the ground, as it were. You have a large, passionate student body available to you, well within the possibility of reaching out to them. Do you see where I am going with this, Mrs. Cinch?"

"..."

"Absolutely not. Observation and intelligence only, for now. In fact, we should never have them move against them, their Magic is disturbingly strong and will surely influence your students given time. No, Mrs. Cinch. Leave the direct action to me and mine."

"..."

"I do say so. I am surprised you have not asked the question yet."

"...?"

"Why, 'What's in it for me,' of course."

"..."

"'Revenge' is a wonderful answer, Mrs. Cinch. You shall have it. It may take time, it may take effort, but by the end of this, you shall have your revenge and more."

"..."

"Thank you again for calling... Mrs. Cinch. I will be in touch."

"I will definitely *be in touch..."*
