Commander Sapphire took a deep breath looking around as marines and rangers boarded landing craft, she climbed into a landing craft with her fellow rangers and some marines.

"Commander Sapphire you look sick," one of the marines standing next to Sapphire said looking at her.

"I-I f-feel sick" Sapphire said before leaning over the side of the landing craft and puking, the other soldiers looked for a moment before giving her some space.The driver climbed down into his seat on the landing craft.

"We're going to cluster fuck island," the driver said attempting to make a lousy joke.

"What's that supposed to mean!" one of the marines spoke out.

"Many of the ponies next to you won't make onto the beach" the driver replied, Sapphire started to have a panic attack hearing that

"Hey down in front calm down before you pass out!" the driver yelled at Sapphire, and she slowly called down.

"S-sorry," Sapphire said in a shaky voice, the driver just rolled his eyes.

It was long before the landing craft launched.

"Ten minutes!" the driver yelled holding up his hands in a signal, Sapphire took deep breaths in and out.The landing craft quickly reached the beach.

"GO! GO! GO!" the driver yelled as the ramp lowered, machine guns opened fire from entrenched nests.Sapphire leaped over the side of the landing craft as most of the soldiers around her were gunned down by the machine guns, Sapphire trudged through the water to the beach.

"Commander over here!" a ranger yelled spotting Sapphire, she quickly ran over to where the ranger was taking cover with some marines.Sapphire broke down into tears sobbing.

"What's wrong?" the ranger asked Sapphire who was still sobbing.Sapphire stopped crying and looked at the ranger.

"I don't want to die here," Sapphire said tears in her eyes, the ranger patted Sapphire's shoulder.

"Let's go on me," one of the marines said getting into position, Sapphire nodded and the group ran from cover to the front of the beach in the machine gun's blind spot.

"We made it," Sapphire said clenching her M416.

"You got the signal grenade?" the marine asked looking at Sapphire.

"Yes, I'm ready to throw it" Sapphire replied pulling out a blue smoke grenade.

"Do it," the marine said, Sapphire pulled the pin on the blue smoke grenade and threw in the area where the machine gun nests were.The warships waiting offshore started firing at the nests, massive explosions erupted from the machine gun nests as the warships continued firing.

Sapphire and the other soldiers climbed up the beachhead as more soldiers safely landed, Sapphire looked around the beach feeling sick.Sapphire started crying and puking as blood filled water washed bodies of dead soldiers onto the beach.The field general walked up beside her.

"The invasion is over Commander Sapphire it's ok," the general said looking at Sapphire sympathetically.

"Thank you General," Sapphire said still crying, she turned and walked away trying to catch up with the other soldiers.

There was little to no resistance once LAV's rolled over the beachhead, Sapphire sat outside a burnt out bunker exhausted.

"Hey Commander how you holding up?" a passing marine asked.

"I'm managing" Sapphire replied and the nodded as he walked away.
