Celestia's Secret Guard
Chapter 3 The Mission Part 1: The KKEP
Previous ChapterNext ChapterEquestria: Canterlot Castle, two weeks after arrival.
Since I've been here, I've learned many things about this world. Their leader is named Princess Celestia, and she has a sister named Princess Luna. This world is a lot like earth, It has different countries and some of the countries closely resemble the countries back on earth. Equestria is obviously America. Yakyakistan is Afghanistan. Griffin Kingdom is based on Europe. The Dragon Homelands are China. And the Changeling Kingdom is a lot like Russia. I also found out that Equestrians hate being called horses. They prefer to be called ponies. I've also been studying the elements of harmony, the elements have attached themselves to these six ponies named: Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Fluttershy.
Princess Celestia gave me my mission about a week ago and is giving me time to plan and prepare. There are three major hate groups in Equestria, The KKU, The KKP, and the KKEP. All have sent threats to the Princess on account of her preaching unity between the three main races in Equestria. The KKU stands for Ku Klux Unicorns, the KKP stands for Ku Klux Pegasi, and the KKEP stands for Ku Klux Earth Ponies. The KKEP is the biggest and baddest of all the groups. They are based out of The Everfree Forest, one of the worst places in Equestria. They are dug in so well that all of the troops that have been sent there have either never made it to the compound or made it out. They hope that because of my skill, i'll be able to get through the forest and make it to the compound. There were other compounds outside of the Everfree Forest before I got here but Captain Shining armor were able to take them out and despite it being the last compound, they still have a alot of influence on the towns around the Everfree forest, Including Ponyville. Iv'e heard rumors of burning suns being put in front of Fluttershy's house along with signs that say 'Go Back To Cloudsdale, WingTard!!', and that some of her animals were cut up and sent to her. This is by far the worst case of racism I have ever seen. I am to be dropped 1 click east of the compound. My objective is to go in silently and set charges at three certain buildings, If I'm spotted, I am to get out of there ASAP. If I don't survive, then I never existed and this Op was never conceived. I am going in under my previous Callsign ''ARES". After the charges go off, I am to fall back into the forest and If resistance is seen, then I have been told take out all tangos. I also voiced my concerns about ammo and that I would be running out of it soon. She told me that she would work on a solution and that she needed to borrow one of my magazines. I still haven't gotten it back.
Equestria: Flying over Everfree Forest, 2 days after briefing.

"ARES!" Said one of the Pegasi assigned to drop me off at the LZ. "5 Minutes till drop!"
"Copy that! You ever done one of these missions before?" We were flying through the air at high speeds. I had done this before but I was always on the inside of the Helicopter. This was terrifying me, I guess no one ever thought about creating safety belts.
"No, this is my first Op!" Oh great, they gave me an FNG. I hate it when they give the Fucking New Guy the important Ops. They almost never survive.
"You have to be kidding me! Did they tell you what you were getting into?" He started flying lower signifying that we were getting close.
"No! I was just told to get you there! 30 seconds to drop." I picked up my pack and grabbed the silencer out of it, and screwed it onto my M4. A red light on the dashboard of the chariot turned green. "Green Light! GO GO GO!"
I rappelled down the rope and hit the ground. I looked up to see him fly away, I watched him go the way towards the compound, He was going the wrong way. I saw a flash and he dropped out of the sky. I saw him detach and try and fly away. he was caught by a net. I realized he must have survived the fall. I had to go after him. This mission had just escalated into a rescue mission. I raised my rifle and began my long trek through the forest.
Equestria: Everfree Forest, one hour after drop.

I could see the lights of the compound through the trees. I looked around and saw ponies wearing white sheets over their bodies. God, they even dress like the KKK. I saw the Pegasi pony that crashed. They began beating him mercilessly, blood falling from his mouth. They then tied him to a wooden structure that looked like the sun and gathered around it. I had seen this before, where they tie a person to a cross and set it on fire and dance around it. I saw a pony with a torch approach the wood pile. I knew I had to act fast, to hell with stealth. If I waited any longer he would be burned alive.
I aimed down my scope and proceeded to count the amount of tangos that were down there. I counted five, then twelve, then twenty-six. There were 26 of these bastards and possibly more inside the buildings. The torch pony stopped, turned, and proceeded to give a speech to his men.
"My fellow earth ponies, we have had nothing but trouble from these goddamned Pegasi and Unicorns. The Unicorns with there 'fancy' magic and now the Pegasi with there 'unholy' wings. We don't want these kind in our towns, we don't want them in our country." Said the pony with the torch, his words causing my blood to boil.
"Stop this!" Said the wounded guards pony, his voice muffled because of his swollen mouth. "Why must you hate us? We did nothing to deserve this!" Blood flying from his mouth, he continued. "Princess Celestia has brought us peace becau-"
"Shut the fuck up you miserable mistake!" said the torch wielding pony as he smacked him across the face. "You Pegasi are unnatural, with your wings and hollow bones! You make us look bad." Spat the pony, punching the Pegasus again. "And don't you dare mention that WHORE Princess's name in our presence!" He slowly raised the torch above his head. "Through this action tonight, we make the world safer for all of Earth Pony ki-"
He dropped to the ground, blood and brain matter flying from his head onto his fellow earth ponies. The Earth Ponies stood in shock of what they had just seen. "What the Hell?!" The tied up pegasus closed his eyes as to not see any more deaths. Soon, more ponies began to drop as they heard little whizzing noises around them. "Where is it coming from!" before they knew it, 6 of them were down. The other ponies began ringing alarms around the compound. "Find that fucker!" They started running around trying to find whatever was taking down there comrades.
I stayed in the treeline keeping watch over the pegasus, making sure none of those bigots tried to kill him while searching for me. Some of them tried to reach him, knives drawn but met an untimely death at the hands of a Marine with a Silenced M4. I killed around 12 of them before they finally saw me. "There it is!" screamed one pony. "I see him!" Screamed another.
I ran down the hill firing shots at the ponies. I got to one of the buildings when a pony hit me from behind. I was knocked to the ground. I had my M4 in my right hand and blew the pony out of the air as it jumped at me. I began working my way to the burn pit where the Pegasus was. I reloaded my M4 and kept shooting tangos until there were just 5 left. I looked down to see my M4 empty and the enemy quickly advancing. I pulled out my M9 and dispatched 3 of the ponies. They fell into lifeless lumps on the ground. The other 2 came from both sides and jumped at me. I caught them with both hands and smashed their heads together. they fell to the ground slowly getting back up before I shot one with the last round in my M9. I pulled out my Knife and grabbed the other one by the Mane and pulled it's head up, Slitting it's throat. It's eyes looking at me with pain and regret. I felt no remorse for these bigots.
"Hey, hey are you alright?" I said tapping the pegasus on the head with my hand.
"Is it over?" he asked slowly opening his eyes, his eyes opening widely as he saw the dead ponies on the ground. "What did you do to them?" He asked in horror and disgust. "We aren't supposed to kill anypony, just stun them and arrest them."
"They really didn't tell you the reason I was here, did they?" I looked at him, his eyes showing true fear. "I was sent to wipe this place clean off the map. I was sent to kill everypony here!" I was yelling now. "Don't you remember how they were going to burn you? They were going to kill you! I knew there was a reason they didn't tell you!"
"I'm sorry. Please, just... just get me out of he-" His body slumped over. Blood falling out of his mouth.
"Hey kid. Kid!" Oh shit, I couldn't stand the thought of another one my men dying. I untied and picked him up, setting him down on a table and checked his pulse. Still there, he was going to be fine but I had to get out of there. Despite the circumstances. I still had a job to do. I grabbed the charges out of my pack and set them at the Predetermined locations. I then ran back, picked up the dying pegasus and made my way out of the compound. I waited until we were a good ways away when I triggered the charges. I looked back to see a huge explosion, followed by smoke. I hoisted the pegasus onto my back and made the 4 mile trek out of the forest.
I exited the forest only to be greeted by Celestia along with two guards. "I see you made it back in one piece."
"I see your still here sipping tea with your guards." I said laying the pegasus on the ground, checking his pulse only to see that it had gotten a lot weaker than before. "Quick, someone bring me a medic!"
"Do not worry, Daniel" Her horn lit up and a pale yellow hue wrapped itself around the dying pegasus. He was lifted up and was completely covered in blinding light before being slowly brought back down. Her horn slowly died down and I looked in amazement at the feat. I had just seen. She had magically healed him in seconds.
"How did you do that?" I asked staring in awe of what I had just seen.
"A simple healing spell." She said with a smile on her face. "It can heal almost any wound but there are things it can't do." her smile slowly fading. "It can't heal diseases like cancer and other ailments. Those are spells that not even I can do. It also can't heal you because of you being from a different world."
Well shit. one stab with a knife and I'm out of commission for good. "Is there a way that we can use magic on me?"
She looked at me with a puzzled look on her face. "Possibly, but you wouldn't like it."
