Everfree Guerrilla
Load Full StoryNext ChapterPROLOGUE
Her eyes started to jump around as she looked above in the treetops, she could hear it moving around which caused her to hold her weapon close. It came from nowhere just like before, now she was forced to hide, Fractured never liked the feeling of hiding. It made her feel weak or unfit for a mission. Carefully moving her eyes to look at the forest floor she began to look for signs of her team, Iron will was laying flat in the water, floating on his back and his weapon laying on the shore line he was defenseless so he became FracturedHeart's number one priority to protect. The noise of the creature stopped and all that could be heard was the sound of the Everfree wildlife. Fractured slowly stood up from the bush and made her way out into the open, as she stepped out a cloud of dust flies up right next to her. Jumping back Fractured sees a long metallic spear seemingly start to appear sticking in the ground. She got up again and looked over to Iron Will.
"Its using camouflage!! Run!!' Fracture lifted her gun to the aim position and started off into the woods slowly. Iron will quickly swam to the shore and reached for his gun. His hand slams down onto the ground and he screams as a loud crunch came from his wrist. He began to eagerly pull his arm but it wouldn't budge. Fractured stopped and threw her gun to the ground to better run to her ally. Slowly materializing from its invisible state the beast lets out a loud scream and raises its hand, two long ridged blades shoot out from its wrist and it looks down at Iron Will.
"Fractured!! Help me!" Iron will screamed as his hand was now free from Predators foot, slamming its other hand around Wills throat raising him into the air slightly the blades shoot out to full length and Iron will stared into his reflection that could be seen on the glassy eyes of the Predators mask. Two gunshots rang as two rounds slam into the back of the hunter, being tosses aside quickly Iron will slams into a tree far from his large Gatling. Turning around with a growl the hunter turns all its attention to the larger threat, the gun. the gun that rests under Fractured Hearts control.
CHAPTER ONE
The heli blades sliced the air as she looked down into her book, her gun slung over her shoulder and pistol strapped to her hind leg. The chopper had been flying over the forest for about an hour and the noise just seemed like an everyday thing to Fractured. Iron Will was sitting across from her sliding his hand across the barrel of his large Gatling Gun. Anybody who met the large man would quickly start questioning if he would marry the gun he holds it all the time even when not on a mission. Iron Will was the only soldier that Fractured knew, the rest of the crew was a mystery to her.
"You know the more you hold it the more likely it is to rust right Big Fella? Wouldn't want her to stop working from your grease would you?" Fractured teased Iron Will with a slight grin as she spoke. "So how about you put it down for a moment and talk to us" as she spoke she felt a hoof land on her shoulder. It was the medic, Red Heart, she was a shy pony around the troops but a sweetheart otherwise. The look of flight sickness in the nurses eyes told Fractured how much the medic wished they would land already, if only she knew that it wasn't going to be as simple as landing. Taking a look around Fractured took one last look at her team before returning to her book. The crew consisted of a Medic, Gunner, Commander, Weyland Troop, and Herself....the Black Op. Cranky the Donkey looked at the crew, he was the big cheese of the operation. What he said was official and had to be followed.
"Alright everypony! Listen up because I will only say this once! If you don't hear it that's because your ears are smaller than my floppy ones and your brain dead" Cranky stood up in the moving helicopter and spit out a cigar, a picture of his wife was pinned on the top of his hat and two little baby donkeys rested in her arms in the photo. "We are here today to liberate and destroy a growing Guerrilla force! Griffons....I hate them...you hate them, AHHHHH WHO DOESN'T HATE THEM!? They hate each other" Cranky was rough and tough and always meant business, Fractured was honored to be part of his team for this mission. He was a leader and damn good at it. Taking out a parachute and opening it up revealing it was torn Cranky grins, "If you see that after pulling your chute your out of the mission. We drop in ten be ready!" Nurse Red Heart started to shake as the truth of their landing was revealed. Fear spread across her face in fear now that her chute would be torn.

Falling closer and closer to the forest, weapons strapped to their bodies the team falls from the sky with their goggles and chutes on their backs. They're destination was the Pie River of the Everfree, it was several miles off of their original plan to land at the Gash River, the difference was that they would be closer to the Guerrilla forces. Fractured stayed focused as she zoomed in the air, Iron will was falling the fastest and his weapon was to be dropped later in a care package near the river. Everypony stayed focused and waited for the signal to pull their chutes.
"NOW!!! GO GO GO!" Everypony then pulled the string and let the chute do the rest, falling towards the trees everypony was okay with zero ripped chutes. Fractured braced as she slammed into the sticks of a tree getting caught and she wasn't the only one to be this unlucky. Taking out a knife quickly she saws away at the strings and falls to the ground performing a quick tuck and roll in the mud of the forest floor. "Alright everypony is ago and earth bounded over, we are heading out good luck" The chopper zoomed away quickly as to not be anymore suspicious than they already were. Pulling her gun off her shoulder Fractured quickly loads and moves to group up with the rest, they were all scattered around the forest not able to land close together. Guided by nothing but a radio and her teams voices she moved out to begin her search. Her priority was to find the medic knowing she would be freaking out and scared if she too got caught up in a tree so she needed to move fast and find her.
"Red Heart , this is Fractured! I'm coming for you so guide me hun!"
