This story is about a deadly Equestrian Sniper that was killed in the battle.

Equestrian Sniper is a romance-war movie that I inspired by American Sniper. I changed some storylines to make it as honest as possible. None of these story belongs or similar to American Sniper.

The flashback of past times : the training

Dori just arrived at the Sniper School near Klugletown.

“Hello, are you new here?” asked Sergeant Zedwin to Dori.
“Yes, I’m new here,” replied Dori.
“Then, quick register yourself!” shouted Sergeant Zedwin to Dori.
Without wasting any time, he quickly register himself at the registration table.
“She mocked you?” asked one of the clerks.
“Yes,” Dori replied.
“Don’t worry, it’s normal. Just a joke for the newbies here.” replied the clerk.
“Wait a minute, I just got prank?” asked Dori.
“Yes straight pone,” replied Zedwin. “Take time to suit yourself here.”

The first day feels awkward for him. It feels weird to live without family and friends. Also with the strict rules and far from home...

The introduction

The day is not like the other day.
There is a lot of ponies gathered at the roadside, they are holding the Equestrian Flag. They even gathered at the bridge. My mind went blank, but then I arrived at the graveyard. Now I understand what’s actually happen. I was killed while trying to liberate Canterlot from Storm King’s conquer.

I am an Equestrian Sniper.

I am the Guard of Canterlot.

Dori-To has returned

The training day

Beep..beep..beep

The alarm rang to wake them up. It's about 5.00 am. Since a changeling slept late, he woke up late too.

"Hoi buggo! Wake uuuuuuupppp!" Zedwin trying to troll that ling. But he still won't awake. They moved him, pour water on him, but nothing happened. It finds out he has been killed with an icicle knife.
"He's dead?" everypony confused.
"Confirmed dead Sergeant." told one of the doctors.
"But how? Maybe he was killed by an icicle knife." Sergeant Zedwin tries to investigate.
"It seems so." replied the doctor.

But they didn't have much time. They should start their training as Princess Luna request 4 ponies to guard the Equestrian-Griffon border. The war is about to start soon. They shouldn't waste any time.
"Listen y'all, there is a spy among us. If you see him, give him to me ALIVE!"
told Zedwin in a serious face.
"Spies?" Shining Armor confused.
"What do you think about Shining? I think they kill him because he's a Changeling," replied Dori in a scarred face.

"Cadets! Start your training now!" Artemis interrupts their conversation.
"Sir, yes sir!" they all replied loudly.

Then they all started their physical training. They will be trained physically for 1 month. Those who got the bad performance will be sent back home. Those who passed. Will continue to the next stage, that is the mental training. They will be placed in the woods for 2 weeks. Those who give up before the 2 weeks will also be sent home.

Day by day they face challenges. Hot climate got punished, each day was followed by fear of being murdered. But since the changeling has been killed. There are no more murdering cases heard anymore.

"Changelings, they are vulnerable soldiers. We lost one. I think they just didn't like him because they discomfort him." said Sergeant Zedwin.
"Racists, they are everywhere. We can't even avoid them. The modern the world gets, the more it became unsafer and unjust to us." replied Artemis full of facts. "By the way, do you suspect anything of that new cadet named Soarin?" asked Artemis to Zedwin.
"Why?" Zedwin asked Artemis.
"That guy always returns to the hostel in the late night." continued Artemis.
"So you think he is the killer?" Zedwin asked in a serious face.
"No. I'm just wondered where did he go until he returns to the hostel late night," Artemis said.
"Maybe he is the......"
Quickly Artemis closed Zedwin's mouth with his hoof.
"You crazy? What if he is here?" asked Artemis but whispered to her ear.
Zedwin just nods her head as a sign she understand what Artemis is talking about.
"So we shouldn't discuss these things?" asked Zedwin in whisper.
Artemis nods his head and then change the conversation as a cover.
"Wanna drink some coffee?" asked Artemis while blinking his right eye.
"Yes! Sure." Zedwin just nods her head.

The siblings of the killed changeling

1 week later.....

"Cadets, today should be the day for you to rest. You can go anywhere for today." Sergeant Zedwin told the cadets.
"Hey Zedwin, wanna visit the siblings of the killed changeling?" asked Artemis.
"I want to follow too," Dori told Artemis.
"Sure, let's go Dori," replied Zedwin.

At the killed changeling siblings' house...

At the door, they heard someone singing a song.

Не валяи́ дурака грифонся,
Вот те валенки, мёрзнешь небось. Что , что Аляска – два берега:
Баня, водка, гармонь и лосось.
Баня, водка, гармонь и лосось.
l

"Sounds like a sad song..." Zedwin looked at the deceased changeling sibling with a sad face.
"It is a revenge song. It means 'Don't play the fool with us Griffonsia'." replied Dori.
"Wait you understand Northern Everfree?" asked Zedwin.
"Good afternoon, we are from the military." Artemis greeting the house owner.
"Oh hello, how long have you been here?" asked the deceased changeling sibling. "Don't just stay there, come in!"
"Thank you." Artemis thanked.

They all sat on the couch.
"We came here to visit you to ask about your condition," Artemis told the deceased changeling sibling.
"I would like to join the sniper school. My name is Ocelli. My brother was murdered by the pony who spies for Griffonsia. Now it's time for me to avenge my brother Stinger's death." said Ocelli.
"You would like to?" asked Dori.
"Yeah sure." Ocelli replied.
"But Ocelli, are you sure about this?" asked Zedwin.
"It is better for me to die fighting our enemies that are trying to conquer us than die without any meaning." Ocelli spoke with facts.
"How old are you?" Artemis asked.
"19," she replied.
"Sure, follow us to the sniper school. You may suit yourself there." Artemis told her. "Would you like to sleep at your deceased brother's place where he was murdered?" asked Artemis.
"Yes, I would like to." Ocelli mad while shed tears on her cheeks.

Without hesitate, Ocelli packed things that she need to bring such as a toothbrush, towel, and her brother's picture.
"You ready to go?" asked Dori.
"Yes I am," replied Ocelli.
"Let's go," Artemis called them to get in the Humvee.
"Goodbye house." whispered her heart.

A deadly sniper was borned

29 days later...

After the death of her brother, Stinger. Ocelli avenge his brother's death by killing the pony who killed him.

Huzzar!....Huzzar!

Sound of training ponies echoes at the sniper school.
"Come on cadets! Beat em' Russian! Show the Russian that we are stronger than them!" shouted Sergeant Zedwin full of spirit.
"Beat em' Russian!" all cadets shouted loudly to show their spirits.
"50 push-ups!" Artemis commanded the cadets.

"1..2..3..4...5..6..7..8..9..10..30..49..50!" they all shouted.
"Get up and run!" shouted Artemis.
"Faster cadet, faster!" Sergeant Zedwin motivating the cadets.
"Hey Zed, do you think Ocelli will get killed again?" asked Artemis.
"Maybe. Let's put her somewhere else safer," replied Zedwin.
"But we need someone who can take care of her. Someone that is polite and honest," said Artemis.
"I know!" Zedwin has an idea.
"Who?" Artemis hope she made a good decision.
"Dori," Zedwin replied.
"Dori?" Artemis confused. "But he's a stallion, what if he touched Ocelli?"
"He won't, I know Dori is a good guy. We can depend on him. He is our last hope." Zedwin told Artemis about Dori's kindness.

They both looked at Dori. He really cares about his friends.

Thud!

"Shining! You okay buddy?" Dori asked.
"I'm okay, come on. Let's go!" Shining replied.
"Remember Art, we don't always need a strong soldier. We always need a perfect soldier." Zedwin advised Artemis.
"Soarin may tougher than Dori, he may smarter than Dori, but he is not perfect as Dori." Zedwin continued her conversation with Artemis.

4 hours later...

It is about 6.00 pm now, everypony get into the hostel and grab their towel. Without wasting any time, they all take a bath.
"Ocelli, mare's toilet on the right," Dori told Ocelli not to choose the wrong toilet.
"Thanks." Ocelli smiled.
"No problemo," Dori replied.

After they took a bath, they should go to the cafétéria for dinner.

Riiiiing!
"The early got the extra!" Zedwin fooling them all.
"Come on Shining. Let's go." Dori invited his friend.
"You really believe that the early got the extra?" asked Dori.
"Yes," Shining replied.
"Actually the last got the extra.... if they were lucky enough." Dori laughed after telling Shining the joke. They both laugh at that joke.

After they have their dinner, it is already 9.00 pm, the bell still not rang and the lights still won't turn off. At the distance, Sergeant Zedwin was seen to approaching Ocelli.
"Ocelli, don't be surprised. But your safety is our concern. You will be sleeping in a private room from this night. Dori will be there to take care of you." Zedwin whispered to Ocelli's ear.
"What?" Ocelli frightened. "With him?"
"Ehmm." replied Zedwin.
"Dori, come here." Zedwin called Dori.
"From this day, you will take care of Ocelli, we believe you, Equestria depends on you both. Please, Dori, take care of her." Zedwin told Dori.
"Since Equestria depends on us, I accept the job." Dori honestly saying that he accepts it.
"Good, follow us," Artemis told them.

Once they are walking to the private hostel, they surprised because there are only two beds for them.
"Enjoy your time Dori, and remember. Don't touch her." Artemis warned Dori not to touch Ocelli.
"Hey Celli," Dori called her.
"What?" Ocelli asked.
"Why do they depend on us?" asked Dori.
"Maybe because you are polite and honest," replied Ocelli while putting her saddlebag on her bed. "You?"
"I think it's because you have a desire to avenge your brother's death," replied Dori.
"Hmmm. You help me a lot these days," replied Ocelli.
"Really?" Dori asked with a happy face.
"Yeah, I fell in love with you." Ocelli replied.
"Wait really? This is my first lover." Dori told her.
"Hehe, you take the upper bed.." Ocelli was about to tell him.
"No, it's your turn to take the upper bed. I slept there before you were here," replied Dori honestly.
"Fine, Dori." Ocelli accepted the offer.
"Let's just sleep. I'm tired." Dori told her.
"Sure. Me too," she replied.

Then, the light was turned off. They all fell asleep. Whole Equestria depends on them. Artemis and Zedwin knew they won't make Equestria disappointed. Tomorrow is the last day for them to face the physical training.

The spies is everywhere

Spies is the most thing that is concerned in sniper school. It might be an Equestrian pony giving pieces of information to the griffons. He or she might tell the griffons to deploy their men on Manehattan since Manehattan is the only nearest city to the Griffon-Equestrian border.

The next day...

"Listen up, today some of you will return home, some of you will stay here. Those names that I read will be sent home by our busses." Artemis shout it out loud. "Big Mclntosh, Soarin, Applejack..." Artemis reading those names out loud...

Some of them willing to return, but only one of them unwilling.

"Art, have you sent Soarin back home?" Zedwin asked worriedly.
"Yes, I had," Artemis replied.
"Are you sure this will make everything better?" asked Zedwin again.
"Maybe, but we are not sure enough that he worked for the Griffons. Maybe he likes to roam around these buildings to suit himself." Artemis told her. "But hey, we wait for him to return. Maybe he'll come back soon to avenge."
But then someone interrupted their conversation. It's the general who wants to talk to them both.
"Hey, did you just sent Soarin home?" asked the General.
They both nodded their heads as a sign of yes.
"Did you know we received information from our intel? They suspected him working with the griffons. We didn't have much evidence to detain him but keep watching over him. Maybe he'll plan something tonight." the General told them.
"But sir, what if he does something worse to us?" Artemis worried.
"He will, that's why I told you to keep an eye on him." the General replied. "That's all I have to tell you, folks. Remember to keep an eye on him."
Then the general leave quickly. But before he could get in his car...

piuut!

The general got shot before he could get in his bulletproof car.
"The general got shot! Everypony! Quick! Spot that ---hole!" one of the General's bodyguards commanded.
Luckily

piuut! piuut! piuut!

"I'm shot! I'm shot!"
"Stay there! I cover you!"
"Direction 120! 120! I see a reflection from the scope!"
"Khhhhhh, he's dead. All clear.

The chaos stopped. Looks like it ain't Soarin. It's a Griffon.

"But who's gave the information that the general would come here?" asked one of the general's bodyguards.
"Then Zedwin says a simple word to the bodyguard, 'Keep an eye on Soarin. He might be the spy.'"

Without wasting any precious time, all of them raided Soarin's apartment.

"Quick! Every second is precious!" the commander commanded the ponies to raid Soarin's apartment.

Bang! They kicked the door, but then...
Brrrrrrrrrt!!!
"It's a trap! The room is guarded by sentry gun!" the commander warned the ponies.

Meanwhile...

They rushed to the hospital, the general is dying since he was shot in the neck.
"Sir, hold on! We're trying to get you there quickly!" the general's driver told him to be patient.
They all rushed to the hospital as fast as they could. Fortunately, they reached the hospital safely. The general wouldn't get to survive if they didn't arrive on time.

Back at Soarin's apartment...

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beeeeeeeeeeep. Booooooom!

It is a trap, Soarin's working with the griffons. No wonder why he always roams at the midnight, probably he plant some bombs on the important parts of the sniper school such as the ammunition storage, the hostel, the office and a whole lot more.

"No time to waste, inform Zedwin to evacuate the school along with the cadets and the EEOD units to inspect the building. Hurry!" the sergeant of the raiding team commanding on one of his officers to warn Zedwin.
"Hello?" Zedwin greeted.
"Zeddy! Evacuate the school! It's unsafe there! No time to explain, just do it!" the officer told them.
So then, she rang the emergency bell. Then she announced "This is not a test! Evacuate this building and gather at the emergency point!"
"What happened?" Ocelli asked Dori.
He replied "No idea, just follow them."
"Do you think this is a real emergency?" again Ocelli asked Dori.
"I guess," replied Dori.
"Where is the goddamn EEOD unit?" Artemis started to get mad as he is concerned for ponies' safety.

Since they didn't want to fall to another trap, they watch their steps and every inch of the buildings, so they wouldn't be any trap.

"Bomb spotted, defusing the bomb." said one of the EEOD units.
"Where did you find it?" asked the commander that leading the EEOD unit.
"Ammunition storage," the guy replied.
"How much?" the commander asked again.
"One, only one." he replied.

It's odd for them because there's only one bomb and it's placed inside the ammunition storage room. But as soon they switch on the lights, they get it. Tons of 7.72 mm caliber, grenades, smoke bomb, stun grenade, and other explosive materials.

It took them 15 hours to inspect those buildings and declare that they're safe to use.

"This is like a Cold War, eh?" Ocelli told Dori.
"1980?" asked Dori.
"Yeah 1980," she replied.
"Smart cookie," Dori teasing Ocelli while smiling.
"Shut up, Dori!" Ocelli told Dori to shut his mouth as she's blushing.

Someone else is supporting them

It looks like there is someone else is supporting them. Griffonsia is a small Griffon country, impossible for it to have a lot of munitions and fuels. So, the Equestrian Government suspected that Storm King supported them.

Suiting self with the hostel condition

Dori decided to roam around the hostel as he is about to suit himself.

Bump!

“Sorry,” said Soarin
“No, sorry.” Said Dori. “I’m the one who bumped you.”
Soarin felt guilty. So he decided to introduce himself.
“Hi I’m Soarin” Soarin introduced himself.
“I’m Dori.” Dori’s turn to introduce himself.
Then they shake hoof with each other. As they met each other and became friends.
“What are you doing here?” asked Soarin.
“Ah, nothing just roaming. Trying to suit myself here,” replied Dori.
“Oh. Me too.” Said Soarin. “Let’s take a walk together!” Dori invited Soarin to take a walk with him.
"So how's your day?" Soarin asked Dori about his day.
"Got pranked by the Sergeant," Dori replied while laughing.
"Well, I think you know me," Soarin says.
"You? Wait, are you a Wonderbolt member?" Dori asked.
"Yes. I feel bored flying all day. I wanna do something else too. Maybe shooting or guarding the border." Soarin replied with a sad face.

Riiiiiiiiiiing!!!

It's time for them to return to their hostel. They won't start their training tomorrow as this is their first day here.
"Come on let's return to the hostel before we got caught roaming here," Dori told Soarin.
"You go first, I'll be right behind you," Soarin told Dori to return before him.

It finds out that the sergeant already waiting for him at the hostel.
"Cadet! Why are you late?!" asked Sergeant Zedwin harshly.
"G-going to the toilet m-m-maam," Dori replied while giggling.
"Cadet! Do 50 push-ups now!" shouted Zedwin to Dori.

1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10....11..........12.........13.............

5 minutes later...

49..............50!!!

"Woah cadet, you look strong. Tell me if you have extra time in the night." Zedwin teasing Dori.
"Huh? What?" Dori shocked and confused while the others are laughing hard.

"This is military bro, one mistake 50 push-ups," replied Shining Armor. "Come on, let's just sleep. I'll take the down you take the upper side. I have vertigo in high places."
"Ok. By the way who are you?" asked Dori politely.
"I'm Shining Armor, the husband of Princess Cadence. Nice to meet you." Shining replied.
"Nice to meet you too," Dori answered.

Then they both fall asleep while thinking about their families far away in Equestria.
