"Were you good? If machcarm? "
"Thankfully, not only took part of our deposit when we got there, one of them was running, so then decided to move to Ponyville. "

"
All ponies lined up one by one were completing the track, Lightest was skillful and fast completed in the fastest time, Pony was a unicorn, was not fast but did not have any difficulty in completing, the other ponies had a bit of trouble, some a bit slow, as in any group of ponies. The ponies who qualified in the race would continue the rest of the training to become soldiers.
After a few months of training, the last test would be applied to selected ponies. The showdown was building four platoons with three different ponies, they would be placed at distant points in forest. The goal was to meet with officials including Revian in a specific place on the map marked each contained. Each platoon squad was formed as proof, one was Pony, Lightset Kovic and a ground pony,"Kovic with the map said "Personal point objective here we are in this sector."
"But wait," says Pony, "which way? Give me compass. Well the compass always points for the North, turn the map. "
Lightset interrupts " A trail, look here, it lea to the point. "
"Oh, yeah, great, the point is to the southwest just need to find this trail. "
"It has a large blip on the map here what is it? "
"A rock perhaps, or a mountain, we have to find her! "
"I will fly there."
Kovic says "Wait ... you can not fly there, is against the rules fly alone, look over the trees try to find that such a stone. "
"Hehheheheheh, it is a pretty lame way, prepare their hooves," said Lightset.
As surely marked on the map the trail led them to the point goal, beating Revian continence says "Congratulations soldiers were the first to finish the race."
After the race all pretty exhausted dined and went to their bedroom because Luna would have up his beautiful moon. Pony still awake in his bunk only with the brightness of his horn on, reading the instructions of the great and mysterious machine that carried a gun, but It was not a complete project.
Snaps came from the end of a corridor, and someone beats very angry. Pony got up and went to investigate such noise coming slowly see a soldier throwing pieces of armor on the anvil, noted that this soldier was unusual because he had marks on his legs, like tattoos, orange and bright lines surrounding the legs and part his neck. Pony approached said "Hey ..."
"Ah! Ahm?!? Who are you? "Says scared.
"My name is Pony Tanker, and yours? "
"Haze, Shielded Haze, but you can call me Tank. "
"You know the story of this machine? " Pony asked surprised.
"The Tank? Yup! Where I lived there was talk about this machine, there is a project somewhere out there, no one will find, if you know who did. "
"Got ...- Pony unsafe decided not to tell about your book - but why you were breaking the armor? "
"Do not worry I made them myself, but seeing these brands? "
"Yup! " Replied confused.
"These brands have emerged after an explosion, woke derido had someone with me, we were around a forest and were attacked by monsters, but by chance the marks flashed and formed a magic shield, so I could salvar.E me why your last name Tanker? "
"Ehrrr ... My father knows the Tank project, indeed they've created. "
