Chapter 6B: Operation E.H.V.T.

In a building that was guarded by guards in black uniform, a group of high ranking men sat at a table discussing something.

"Govener Belkin, what do you have to report about Vanhoover?" Bernard asked

"The rebel cell is almost defeated sir, thanks to your advice that is," Belkin said

"Excellent, Gruppenführer Miller, how is the offensive campaign going against this Crystal Empire?" Bernard asked

"So far, we've made little progress on the campaign sir. Whomever is in command of that area, they're very good," Miller said

"Spare us your judgement, it is irrelevant," Bernard said

"My apologies, Acting Protector," Miller said

"Gentleman, this is a test. Moments like these are what define us, and once we eliminate the terrorist empire of Equestria, our convictions will reward us in time. Now Miller, I've decided to aid your conquest of the Crystal Empire by heading up there myself," Bernard said

"Really sir?" Miller asked

"Yes. This meeting is here adjourned. You may return to your post gentleman," Bernard said

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

A few hours later, on the streets of Manehattan

Spike and his team were in position, waiting for the target to arrive. More then three hours have passed, and the team was starting to get worried. If they can't get Kiser Bernard soon, they'll have to pull back and think of another plan.

Finally, just after four thirty pm, Rumble radios the team that the car was coming.

"Spike, the car is approaching, I repeat, the car is approaching," Rumble said on his comlink.

"Roger. How many enemys do you see?" Spike asked

"None, the target is alone sir and it seems like there's no armor in the car, over," Rumble said

"Really? Something doesn't feel right. Regardless, the mission must go on," Spike said

The car soon arrived at the hairpin turn and slowed down to turn. Then Spike and Button Mash came up on front of the car and pulled out their pistol's and aimed at Bernard, who covered himself. This was it, the moment they waited for.

But then it went horrible wrong. As soon as Spike and Button Mash pulled the trigger, the guns jammed. Featherweight saw what was happening

"Run!!" Featherweight yelled

Spike and Button Mash began to run. The driver got out of the car, and began chasing them, leaving Bernard alone. Featherweight then pulled out the IED and threw it at the car. The explosive landed near the car and exploded, injuring Bernard.

Then, to Featherweight's shock, Bernard come down from the car, his abdomen bleeding profusely, aiming his pistol at Featherweight and firing. Featherweight then ran away fast. Bernard tried to run after him, but collapsed from blood loss.

The team made it to the warehouse after evading Bernard's driver. Featherweight looked at Spike and Button

"What happened?" Featherweight asked

"I don't know. The pistol probably jammed or something. What about you?" Spike asked

"I threw the IED at the car. The next thing I saw was Bernard getting out from the car and shooting at me, despite him bleeding so much," Featherweight said

Then, a resistance member came into the warehouse.

"Its all over the radio, they're saying that he's still alive, but barely. You four need to get back to Canterlot, quick, down the tunnel," the resistance member said, as she pointed her hoof down a tunnel

Spike and the team went down to the tunnel, heading back to Canterlot

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

A few hours later, Spike and his team returned safely to Canterlot. They soon met with Daniel in the meeting room.

"I know it wasn't your fault. I always thought that those pistols would jam, I just didn't think it would happen on this mission," Daniel said solemnly

"So what now?" Button Mash asked

"You four get some rest, you've earned it. I'll call you back for another assignment. Good day," Daniel said

Spike, Button Mash, Rumble, and Featherweight left the room. Daniel then sighed, thinking that the mission was a complete failure, unaware about the results of the mission in a few days.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

A few weeks after the attack, Daniel was in the war room, planning out the next mission when the radio he was listening to suddenly began to broadcast an announcement in a language that Daniel knew all too well.

"Ceci est un message d'urgence du ministère de l'Intérieur de la nation socialiste Urt. Kiser Bernard, le Protecteur par intérim de la SNU, est mort plus tôt ce matin des blessures subies lors d'une attaque à Manehattan. Les arrangements funéraires sont en l'honneur du défunt Gruppenführer et du général de police"

Daniel smiled at the news, and called a guard to bring Spike and his team to the war room.

Later, Spike and his team came into the room, and saw Daniel smiling

"Daniel, what's going on?" Spike asked

"You did it. You four have done it!" Daniel exclaimed happily

"Did what?" Rumble

"The mission is a success. I just received news on the radio that Kiser Bernard has died from the wounds he received from the attack," Daniel said

"So, the mission was a success?" Spike asked

"Yes, it was a major success. This will send a message to the enemy that they are not untouchable, so drinks are on me," Daniel said, as he pressed a button and several drinks appear.

Daniel, Spike, and his team spent the rest of the day celebrating

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

In Manehattan, a few days later

Flags were flying at half staff. People were on the sidewalks, wearing all black. They watch as several soldiers came down the road, behind them, the casket containing the remains of the late Kiser Bernard. The procession makes it way toward its destination: Manehattan Imperial Church.

The Church was constructed in just two months, thanks to the technology of the Earth, particularly Dyson Medkos Sr, Earth's smartest man. It was huge and red, with banners on two pillars showing the emblem of the Medkos family, which shows a huge red star surrounded by gold and in the middle was Darren Sr's face.

The procession stops, and eight men unload the casket and take it inside to be placed at the alter. Inside the church were several hundred people. The most notable of them all was Acting President Darren Jr himself. He gave his condolences to the family, and then went up to the podium and delivered the eulogy.

"Kiser Bernard was a hard working man. He always got any task done, and approached every assignment as an MTSS man and a patriot. He will be remembered for his compassion and for his hard work," Darren Jr said

After thirty minutes of eulogies and choir songs, the casket is removed from the alter and is transported to the Manehattan Docks, where a spaceship is waiting to transport the body back to Earth. As soon as the the casket and the family board the spaceship, it takes off, on its way to Earth.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

A few hours later, at the Imperial MTSS Headquarters

Darren Jr was in his office, thinking about his next move, when his bodyguard came in the room with a file in his hand

"Sir?" the guard said

"Yes, what is it?"

"I wanted to give you these," the guard said, as he put a folder on Darren Jr's desk

"What's that?"

"This was a file that Bernard was trying to deliver to your office in Vanhoover before he was killed sir," the guard said

"Thank you, you are dismissed."

The guard saluted and left the office. Darren Jr looked at the folder, picked it up, and opened it. He then made a sinister and sadistic smile.

"Oh this is perfect," he said, as be began the next stage of his grand master plan
