The night was crisp. A slight amount of dew was forming on the top of the grass blades that covered the Canterlot Royal Garden. And there they stood, ready for whatever which came their way. "Alright, this is going to be a very covert mission got it?" Team Leader's voice came over the teams earpieces. "You are going to be infiltrating the Royal Library through the main window near the north end of the Canterlot Royal Garden, the library is in the south wing of the castle and you will be stealing two books, a book labeled Arcane Arts which contains our weightlessness spell, and a book labeled Combat Trainers Manual for Destruction Spells." The team put their hooves to the button on the ear piece that changed to a microphone. "Ground Team Copy.", "Magic Pony Copy.", "Pilot Copy" They all said in a sequenced manner. "Good, now you have all been supplied with silenced pistols, gate cutters, guard uniforms as there is an event in the main hall and that is where you need to go to get to the south wing. and a grapple rope so no one can argue on if there is a favored party member or not, now get going, you need to have this done before sunup!" The team all nodded to each other as they all went into the garden. The magic pony was the first to break the silence. "Guards in the front entrance to the garden ill take right." The magic pony said aiming his gun at the guard on the right side of the entrance. "Ill take left." The pilot said in his gruff voice. They both aimed their guns at the the royal guard's heads and took the shot. Two down. The team advanced through the garden taking careful looks around every corner for guards. They came up to a brick wall scaling about 30 feet to a window overlooking the garden. The team took out their ropes and threw them up to the window and scaled the wall. About 20 feet up a guard they must have missed during their recon came under them, possibly on patrol, possibly attempting to find the members of the royal guard that have probably not been responding for the last 10 minutes. He looked around as the team drew out their pistols and they all took a shot as the guard dropped without a sound.

Inside the window they found themselves in a bedroom of a filly, toys scattered all over the floor and posters lined the walls. This did not look like the run of the mill castle room but they decided to ignore that aesthetic design and move on to the to the west wing of the castle. Navigating the castle they made careful steps across the hard stone floor so as not to attract any attention. They found themselves in the main hall of the castle after a bit of time and slowly navigating checking every hallway for guards that may interfere with their mission. The hall was lined with guards for the ceremony of a dead royal guard member who died protecting the castle from an explosion but ended up getting shot doing so. The team put on the uniforms supplied by Team Leader and moved through the crowd of ponies to the south wing. Just before entering the south wing they caught the attention of a guard to their left.

"Halt!" The guards booming voice echoed across the entire room. "Where are you four troops going, the south entrance is for scholars only!" The team stopped in their tracks and turned around. The pilot spoke. "We are merely checking a disturbance in one of the labs that someone asked us to come and check out." The guard looked at them for a few moments before speaking. "Every guard is being ordered by the colonel to stay here for the ceremony show some respect to your fellow pony kind soldier." The pilot walked up to the guard and got in his face. "We were ordered by General Night Silencer himself to respond to any calls for disturbance in the area that may disrupt the ceremony, now if I am not mistaken General Night Silencer outranks the colonel am I wrong sergeant?" The guard at him sternly. "Carry on soldier." The team entered the south wing which held the library, protected by a metal gate so that no one could enter. "Ill cut the gate, you three keep watch." Ground Team One said in a whispering voice. He pulled out the gate cutters from his pack and went to work cutting every tong in the gate until the gate was separated from the doorway, he looked at the ends of the gate he cut. Wires. . INTRUDER ALERT, GATE TO LIBRARY DESTROYED, ALL UNITS TO THE ROYAL LIBRARY
And alarm sounded out in the castle. "We need to act fast, go loud, go loud!" Ground Team Two said as loud as possible as if to attract attention of someone. "The books should be on this shelf here!" Magic Pony took the two books that they need and the team ran to the door. "Guards down that corridor, take em out!" Yelled Ground Team One "We'll take the nearest window out of here into the forest to the right of the castle and drop the book off at HQ in Ponyville" The team ran to the nearest window to the garden and jumped out of it, landing in some brush. "This way!" yelled The Pilot as the left into the forest.

Back in Ponyville

"Alright team, this is what we have come to expect, the worst, and only the worst." The team leader circled the group of ponies tentatively without the grace he normally does, possibly due to the minor screw up the team had just had. "That was sloppy but I can blame no one but myself for not warning you about the security system that goes with the gate, and thanks to that I have more confidence in you that you got the job done." He grinned.

"Now who is up for more?"
