“What the Fuck is going on here!” I screamed in anger and confusion.

In front of us was a dog looking thing standing over a knocked out human? Yep it was a human in adventuring gear you'd see in comics while the dog thing stood over her with rope being held with its tail? Now with the dog thing‘s attention I yelled “open fire!” the four squads fired their weapons but yet the thing was too agile and was able to slip away unharmed.

“Damn it the thing got away. Okay men two of you check the girl to see what's wrong the rest of you fan out and search for clues.” I ordered as two deltas made their way to the girl. Looking around I spotted a golden idol in the middle of the room looking like a human with a sword and shield. Walking towards it I spot a small plaque below it written in what looks to be English.

“ This statue is to celebrate our defenders and friends the humans. Some want to leave them to their doom after they sacrificed themselves to save us but some of us will stay behind now to protect their race from extinction. If you want to join us all you have to do is touch the idol.”

Slowly grabbing the idol with my right hand I waited for anything to happen. When nothing happened I stashed the idol before looking around seeing the squad either taking pictures or stashing stuff in bags. Hearing booms far away I could guess that the New lunar fleet finally got some courage and moved closer to drop off troops. The two men who checked the girl for any injuries just gave me a thumbs up before moving away to stash more things from around the room. Moving over to the girl I could see that her hair is dark brown I think while her skin is whitish with a tint of darkness. A delta tapped me on the shoulder signaling that we need to leave A.S.A.P, grabbing the girl I put her into a fireman's carry while the soldiers finished up with what they were doing before moving towards the door we came through.

As we made our way out of the temple and snuck into the trees a squad of NLR Pegasi landed at the temple before rushing in.Hearing screams a few seconds later I can guess they set off a lot of traps. Running off into the jungle towards one of the clearings with the other squads following behind as I had a idea that could make our lives easier.

Pov Daring Do

Waking up with a headache I can feel myself go up and down like if somepony was carrying me before setting me down I try to remember what happened. I followed a tip from the canterlot archive about a secret temple from before the unification in the forbidden jungle. Making my way across war torn equestria in a airship the government lent me towards the forbidden jungle. A rumor must started why I was going towards the jungle as a whole NLR fleet was after me, I'm pretty sure without Luna’s approval. When I made it to the jungle and landed in a clearing a giant airship appeared in the horizon and when it got closer the NLR fleet decided that the other airship was a better prize than whatever is in the temple. To my surprise the giant airship destroyed the admiral's flagship before coming to a stop. Seeing that the NLR fleet won't be chasing me for now I went looking for the temple.

When I found the temple I saw things landing down not far away I knew I didn't have much time But by the time I ran up the steps I saw Humans entering the clearing . They must have spotted me as the one in the green clothes pointed to me before I rushed inside. Using my wings I flew over any traps that might have been there before galloping down the hall. If I was lucky the humans would take their time while I take whatever artifact that is usually in these temples.

Reaching a room with a podium in the middle I trotted towards the podium looking at the weird idol that looks kind of like a human with a sword and shield with a plaque below it. What ever language it was I didn't recognize it probably nothing important . Grabbing the Idol I felt tremendous pain and screamed after that I remember hearing Ahuizotl’s laughter before the realm of sleep claimed me.

Opening my eyes a little the first thing I can tell is no Ahuizotl instead I saw multiple humans talking about something before moving away carrying tubes. Their leader must have spotted me as he walked over his eyes shining yellow softly.

“Hmm still not awake oh well. You're pretty damn lucky ma’am we were able to get to you before that dog thing got to you. After the men get done with clearing out the trees you will be getting a first class ride to the Enterprise.” The man said to me still thinking I was knocked out. A few seconds later booms were heard from across the area knocking down trees before one of the humans took out something and fired a ball of light into the air. With their leader looking away I wondered why I couldn't feel my wings or my hooves looking down slightly I was shocked to see that my body looked human, thankfully whatever changed me gave me clothes.

Hearing something in the distance I closed my eyes pretending to be asleep as their leader picked me up like it was nothing holding me close to his chest as he walked up something before setting me down on something softer as whatever we’re in went upwards.

“Well ma’am we’ve got the whole Osprey to ourselves as the men volunteered to wait for the other Ospreys to get back to the Enterprise” The man said still thinking that I’m knocked out.

As whatever we’re in neared its destination the man picked me up yet again in preparations of the landing before a thud was heard and the man got up with me in his arms. With my head near his chest I heard his heartbeat as it calmed me down while al..so mak...ing m..e drow..sy zzzzz.

Pov Eric

Looking down at the girl sleeping I stepped out of the Osprey while walking towards the elevator. The men must have saw the girl as they looked on quietly as I passed them. Pushing the button for the elevator I stood there with a girl in my arms sleeping as I waited for the elevator to come down. When the elevator’s doors opened I stepped inside and pushed the button to go to the level of the bridge. While the elevator was rising the girl in my arms must have been cold as the airship’s air conditioner made the place cold when we’re in a warm place as she snuggled into my chest. When the Elevator's doors opened I started my trek to the bridge.

As I walked through the numerous hatches and doors while whatever personnel that were in my way moved very quickly away from me. Reaching the door I opened it before heading upstairs into the bedroom and setting the girl down as gently as I could before tucking her in.

I walked out of the bedroom not noticing the smile on my face. Walking up to the wheel I saw the all clear from everywhere before pushing the lever into full speed as we passed by whatever remaining ships of the NLR fleet as made our way back towards Home Base.

Looking over the ground where the jungle met the badlands I couldn't help but sing a song.

“Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day

Home, home on the range

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day

How often at night where the heavens are bright

With the light of the glittering stars

Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed

If their glory exceeds that of ours

Home, home on the range

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day

Then give me a land where the bright diamond sand

Flows leisurely down to the stream

Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along

Like a maid in a heavenly dream

Oh I would not exchange my old home on the range

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where the seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day”

As I finished we were over the badlands heading towards the mild west.

1 hour later

Reaching the mild west we were going to pass over appaloosa in a couple of minutes. In a few minutes I could see the very edge of the town as we sped towards it. I grabbed the binoculars and peered through them looking at appaloosa as the townsponies were running everywhere as NLR soldiers looted the place? Grabbing the mike “ General quarter General quarter all hands man their battle station.” I can not let these innocent ponies die to corruption of the soldiers. As we came sight the NLR must have spotted us as they began to run away hoping to stash their ill gotten goods. Mike still in hand “ All guardians hunt the soldiers down everybody else prepare for emergency aid to civilians.”

Bringing us over appaloosa the guardians flew off to hunt the NLR soldiers.

3rd person

Above the town of appaloosa a giant airship stood still as guardians launched off the decks as infantry carried supplies to the ospreys. While the NLR soldiers ran they never looked back at what was chasing them. The guardians are armed with a 30mm nose cannon along with anti tank rockets and rocket pods meaning when they fire their weapons whatever they look at is most likely dead. This was the case with the vagabond soldiers as they were picked off by the guardians withering fire tearing the soldiers to chunks and a few to pink mists while whoever got hit by the rocket pods burned from the incendiary ammunition.

Ospreys took off next from the Enterprise flying down to the town to drop off medical supplies and food. When the Ospreys landed the soldiers in the back pushed off crates full of food and medical supplies. When the dustoffs arrived medics jumped out to render their services to the ponies. The ponies were surprised that humans saved them from the former garrison turned raiders before giving them enough supplies to last months before helping out further as medical personnel helped any injured pony. When everything was done the humans just jumped back aboard their helicopter before flying back up to the Enterprise with the ponies waving their goodbyes as the enterprise returned to her voyage sailing through the skies towards home.
