Chapter 1:Chains

"So, you're the new grease pony? Let's see how good of a shot you are," Chains said. He was a forest green stallion with a maroon mane.

Something told me that's not how his mane used to be.

I pulled out my magnum and starting taking shots. 4/6 hits. 3/4 bulls-eyes.

"Well, thats pretty good. Follow me. I'll introduce you to the team. They'll be glad to meet you."

Chains led me deep into the base, a part of the base I've been in only once. He led me into a hanger I've never seen before.

We came upon 4 other ponies.
3 stallions, 1 mare.

"Spark, this is the team. That's Recon. He's our scout. "

Recon wore all but his helmet. He had yellow as his armor secondary. His cutie mark was a grenade. He was a dark gray earth pony. If the lights of the hanger weren't so bright, I'd say he was black. Except for his yellow eyes and mane

"That's apple pie. He was an apple farmer. Didn't have his cutie mark until his first week in the military."

I looked at his cutie mark. It was an assault rifle, but all the pieces were separated from the rest.

Chains caught my glance. "It means he's good at repairing and making weapons."

The yellow unicorn gave me a stare with his red eyes. His secondary was also the color of his eyes. I looked at the others. They were the same.

"This lovely mare is Fire Light. She's the best shot I've ever met."

She was a white mare with a pink, luxurious mane. It had been combed to perfection. She had light blue eyes. Her cutie mark was crosshairs.

Not an attractive cutie mark.

"She's the best I've ever seen," Recon said.

"that's what I just said," Chains gave a somewhat annoyed look to Recon.

"I didn't mean sniper,"
He gave her a look that should have caught her attention. Instead, she looked over to me.

"and whats your special ability?" her voice was beautiful too.

I sat there dumb folded for a few seconds trying to figure out why she was here instead of staying home.

"Well?" she gave me a look like I was stupid. Chains pushed his hoof into my side.

"What was the question?" I asked helplessly. She gave me an angered glare. And started walking towards the ship just behind us.

"Any way," said Chains, "that there is Skyler. He's our pilot and pegasus."

"Pleased to meet you, Spark," the orange Pegasus said. He had blue eyes.

"Alright, now to get to business," said as he motioned us to the ship. "word in ESC (Equestrian Space Command)
Is that there's a Zebra fleet invading Phillydelphia. No ones sure, considering no ones that far out away from Canterlot except thieves."

Fire Light called from the door of the drop ship. "And maybe a few AWOL marines."

Skyler was right next to us. "Don't forget the Alicorns."
