War For Equestria: The Battle For Winter Village

Back at the Operating Base, Commanders Firefly and Sunny was outside watching the medical team take care of Nighthawk.

"One mission." Firefly said, "We had one mission to get in, find this 'blur' and get moving."

Sunny sighed, "Don't beat yourself up over this Firefly. We had no idea that this would be a set up."

"To be honest, I don't believe it was a set up."

"It was." Sunshine Breeze said as she walked in with a data pad.

The two Commanders grinned, "Why's that?" Firefly asked.

Sunshine showed him the data pad, "While we were looking for our new friend, the nearby village was raided by a small squad. We think Miss Rose was leading it and decided to stall for them."

"Explains why she was there alone then." Sunny said.

"But doesn't explain why we couldn't pick up a signal from the squad." Firefly replied.

"Your scanners are useless if they are jammed." A young pony said.

Commander Firefly grinned, "Who are you?"

"They call me Rainbow Bliss, but Rainbow will be just fine?"

Firefly, Sunny, and Sunshine were confused on who this pony was, well pegasus to be exact. Not like the cutie mark gave it away, a rainbow with a lightning bolt in the center, sea blue colored skin, her eyes which shinned like sapphires. This couldn't be the one they were looking for.

Firefly grinned, "You aren't?"

"Princess Celestia's Guardian? Yes."

"Why didn't you come to us sooner?" Sunny asked. "We could've solved all of this."

Rainbow chuckled a bit, "Easier said than done when you were assigned to defend the winter villages, and not get caught."

Firefly was confused, "What are you-?"

"Let me simplify it for you. When word gets out about some destined Guardian who will help a Defender. The enemy will do whatever it takes to kill whoever it is."

Before Firefly could reply, one of the doctors came in, "Commander?"

"What is it?"

"Commander Nighthawk would like to speak with you."

Firefly walked into the room and saw Nighthawk lying on the bed. He smiled, "How are you feeling?"

Nighthawk was not amused, "Listen to me Firefly, I don't have time for your stupid decisions, and apparently Celestia isn't up for games either."

"Commander, I-"

"She's an apprentice of Celestia herself, and you are treating her like she is a cadet."

"Nighthawk, can we trust her though?"

"Why don't you stop looking at the picture like an analyst and think?" Nighthawk said as he shook his head. "She saved my life, thus I will trust her with my life."

Firefly grinned, "But can I trust her though? She said herself that she's been hunted down because of her role."

"And?" Nighthawk replied, "If that was the case, she would be in hiding by now. I sense loyalty in her, and that's what we need right now."

with a slight chuckle Firefly smiled, "So you truly think its her?"

"I believe it."

Sunny stormed in, "Commander, we got a problem."

Firefly looked at Sunny, then turned back at Nighthawk.

"You better get going. Recovery will still be a few more hours."
