Project Zero

The day felt different for Lemon Blitz, especially since he was deploying for the Junior Equestrian Military after school. Lemon and his best friend Nighthawk were excited.

"I'm outside of the Equestrian Laboratory with Scientist, Lollipop Twist to explain to us, what this 'miracle' is." The reporter said.

"Thank you my dear..." The scientist began.

"Ha, the only miracle that will occur is if they realize their mistake." Lemon said as he was packing a few more items.

Nighthawk grinned, "Oh, why would you say that?"

"Think about it. Is it entirely possible for someone to create a cure for all diseases?"

Nighthawk began thinking, "Perhaps it isn't, but they were able to form it."

"I'm just saying, they aren't smart enough to cure the common cold, so they won't be smart now."

Nighthawk tilted his head, then felt his phone vibrate, "Uh oh, we better get going, Twilight and the others are waiting on us."

The two began walking out leaving the tv on, "...This has been Canterlot news," The reporter ended, "Home of 'Project Zero!'"

The two began jogging to the bus stop with their backpack, and military packs hoping to catch the bus. "I think we're going to be late!" Nighthawk said as he was panting for breath.

"Oh please, Nighthawk. You lack faith once again." Lemon said with a slight laugh.

Suddenly, a golden yellow jeep came up next to them and slowed down, "Well, it looks like you boys are going to be late." Sunset Shimmer said with a laugh, "Want a ride?"

Nighthawk smiled, "I would love to get a ride."

Lemon Blitz grinned, "Once again, our lives are saved by Sunset." He tossed his bags in the back and jumped in.

Nighthawk tossed his stuff up front and jumped in, "Can we beat the bus?"

Sunset smiled, "Lets find out."

The school was quite active for today was the day before Prom, and everyone was attending. When the group got out of the jeep, Rainbow Dash was the first to get Lemon's and Nighthawk's attention. "Well finally you two show up."

"Is there something that we missed?" Nighthawk asked.

"Uh duh, Pinkie is going crazy about the decorating, Applejack still needs more supplies."

"And we still have that test to study for." Twilight Sparkle said with a smile.

Lemon sighed, "Oh right, that test."

Nighthawk laughed, "Look on the bright side, at least we get to deploy after all of this right Lemon?"

Lemon Blitz sighed and looked at Twilight, "Yea, we deploy."

Prom was important to Lemon Blitz, mostly because he was deeply in love with Twilight Sparkle. The only problem was he wasn't brave enough to ask her out, he was hoping that he could do it for this years prom.

The class was in a hyper mood, "Okay class," Ms. Cheerilee shouted. All the students continued to talk, "Settle down now. Quiet!" The students froze, "Thank you. As you all know tomorrow is prom, and you all will be having the best time of you life."

Of course, as students, they began fidgeting with papers, pencils and a couple even fell asleep. "But first, get your pencils out, and lets take this test."

Nighthawk smiled and pulled out his pencil, Lemon sighed and looked at his notes one quick time. Before Ms. Cheerilee passed out the papers, Principal Celestia came on the comm, "Good morning students, pardon the interruption, can the students who are enlisted in the Junior Equestrian Military, please exit the school for emergency deployment? As for the rest of you, we are going into emergency lock down.

"Well, I guess we get out of it." Nighthawk said as he grabbed his bags.

Lemon jumped up and grabbed his stuff, "I second that choice."

The alarm began blaring as students began walking out and headed to the front doors. Along with the group was Nighthawk, Lemon Blitz and Rainbow Dash who recently joined up as a cadet and was going to deploy for training.
"Your first call in, Dash?" Nighthawk asked.

Rainbow nodded, "You know it."

"Let's just hope it doesn't take forever."

Several military vehicles pulled into the school parking lot and began loading other students up. A military officer directed the two boys to a vehicle. "Sir, what seems to be the problem?" Nighthawk asked.

The officer responded, "We'll brief you when we get to the base."

They looked up and saw several jets fly by towards the city.

"We're clear to go, set for blockade." The officer said as he closed the door.

Lemon and Nighthawk looked at each other, "What ever it is." Nighthawk began, "It is not good."
