A different war to fight

The group were about to disperse before Twilight asked a valid question

"What if the princesses are required back here in Canterlot, they cant just abandon the war, and what about guards?" She asked

Wolf replied "if the princesses are needed back here me and Raptor will order the armies to hold the area as we escort the princesses back to Canterlot"

Twilight seemed satisfied by his answer as now she knew that the princesses would he safe. The group headed off to do their own requirements, Wolf headed to the Armoury so that he could fill his backpack with ammo and equipment including Suppressors, 2 hand held radios, a box of flares and a flashlight. Raptor headed back to his room so that he could go to sleep. Twilight and her friend headed to Canterlot library determined to figure out a weakness to the changelings. Shining Armour headed to the barracks to gather the troops and to make sure that they were combat ready.

Two hours later the group joined back up in the war room to plan what to threat to deal with first when suddenly a Royal guard came in screaming about how they had lost contact with all the other towns except for ponyville, he also stated that there was another Griffon attack force headed towards Canterlot but currently they were set up in a small village and were taking all the ponies hostage. Luna looked at Wolf hoping that he would have a plan, which he already did

"Back on earth me and Raptor were from a place called England, we were part of an elite team known as the SAS, during this time we were part of a secret anti terror team, this team was set up to snuff out terrorist groups before they could become a large enough threat for the civilians to panic, to help with this we were trained for stealth operations so that if we had to deal with a terrorist group in Britain we could deal with it without it being in the news, the smartest thing you could do in a stealth operation was to deal with the hostile forces quickly" Wolf stated

"So what does this have to do with Griffon taking our citizens hostage" Celestia asked

"Well the terrorists would normally threaten to execute one of the hostages after so long, so we had to act fast, I think you should send me and Raptor in to deal with this attack force at nightfall and you two come with us with a counter attack team incase things go wrong" he replied

The group looked at each other expecting somepony to put in another idea, but nopony had anything better than Wolf's plan. The group separated once again only to grab their battle equipment, everypony was shocked when Wolf only came back with his M9 beretta and a few mags as well as a set of night vision goggles, whereas Raptor came back with two rifles and a flashlight.

"If your bring all of that equipment, you can wait to be backup" Wolf said sternly

"Why, it's not that much" Raptor replied defensively

"Your fat arse is enough to get us caught, why do you think I'm going in with only a pistol" Wolf replied

After he heard that Raptor shut up, knowing he wasn't going to win this argument.

As the sun began to lower the group headed out to the town reaching it just as dusk began. Everypony had a stern look on their faces, but the soldiers knew these ponies were terrified. As the night became darker Wolf gave his radio relay to Raptor so that they could stay in contact. The man disappeared into the darkness of the night.

As Wolf got to the end of the village Wolf said over the radio "This is Wolf, going dark"

"What does going dark mean Raptor?" Luna asked

"Excuse my language princess, but it means every Griffon in that village is fucked" he replied

Wolf knew that this attack force had at least 30 Griffons in it, due to this he was going to kill each one he saw

The first one he came across was alone, he snuck up on the Griffon, drew his kukri and placed it on the birds neck before asking quietly "where are the ponies?"

"They're in the house in the centre of the village" the Griffon replied trembling

Without hesitation Wolf slit the Griffon's neck. The next building contained four Griffons in a dinning room, Wolf acted quickly by grabbing the closest Griffon to act as a shield as he unloaded a bullet per Griffon, before the last Griffon could call for help Wolf quickly dispatched of it with a bullet to the brain. Another small building, bit this one was different, it had ten sleeping Griffons. Wolf slowly walked through the room eliminating all of them. Know there was only 3 buildings left other than the one he already knew the ponies were in. He was hoping to clear the village before letting the ponies out so that they wouldn't be attacked. He swept two more buildings killing another 13 Griffons before he heard a struggle in the next building.

Raptor was getting worried, he knew he should have went with his squad mate but he had too much equipment, but he hadn't heard anything over the radio for far too long, he had to go and check it out. He dropped half of his equipment so that he would be lighter. He grabbed his sidearm and flashlight and ran for the village as fast as he could. He had gotten to a building that hadn't been opened from the side he arrived at, so he slowly opened the door only to be pounced on.

Wolf opened the door to the last building to see a Griffon on top of his unconscious squad mate, before he could fire hismweapon the Griffon ripped Raptor's arm off of his body. This aggravated Wolf, this wasn't just a standard operation anymore, now it was personal. He dropped his pistol and rushed toward the Griffon, he knocked the bird like creature onto its stomach and climbed onto of it. Hellbent on inflicting lots of pain Wolf started to slowly rip out the Griffon's feathers causing it to scream in pain. Then he started slamming the Griffons head off the floor quickly killing it.

Wolf grabbed the radio of of his chest and spoke into it trying to keep calm"the village is clear, the ponies are in the building in the centre"

After that he dropped the radio and grabbed his sidearm and holstered it before picking his friend up, he kicked open the door and started racing to the camp. The princesses where waiting for the two men eager to hear about the ponies conditioned, but everything fell silent. The two princesses gasped as Wolf ran strait towards them carrying a man who now only had one arm. He reached the and cleared the closest table before putting Raptor on it.

He looked towards the princesses and said "You have to help him"

Celestia looked back at him with a dark look upon her face "theres nothing we can do"

Not even a second went by before Wolf replied "Bullshit, you mean to tell me that In a world where ponies can talk and magic is real, you cant rapidly heal somepony"

Celestia was shocked by the way he had spoken to her, even when Wolf was attacked by Royal guard in the everfree forest he never spoke like this to her. She replied "We have healing magic, nut it only works on ponies"

Wolf looked down at his comrade and said "Please try" he looked back at Celestia with his eyes full of tears "He's the last thing I have"

Celestia looked at Luna and said "it will take alot a magic, but we are willing to try something, there is a spell that turns ponies into Alicorns, this is meant for the highest of ponies but it might save him, but he will never be human again"

Wolf replied "Anything"

The princesses looked at each other before both of them starting charging their horns full of magic. While this was happening Wolf was keeping heavy pressure on where Raptors arm used to be. The to Alicorns faced each other then let off a beam of light at each other, once the beam collided with one another the two sisters started moving their heads towards Raptor. Once the beam collided with him a blinding flash of light emerged knocking Wolf out. The spell had done something but to what avail?

On the table where Raptor once was a brown large stalion, with a green mane and horn. But something was wrong, the spell was supposed to turn him into an Alicorn but he had no wings. Wolf stood up and shook his head to get his hair out of his eyes, he was both shocked and ecstatic at the sight of the stallion on the table. He went to walk over to the stallion before he was hit with an enormous amount of pain coming from his back. The man yelled in pain as the flesh from his back tore and bones snapped, something was emerging.

Through the Kevlar plating on his back came two large black wings, but the outer side was kevlar instead of feathers. The man struggled to stand back up dew to the sudden change of centre mass, but pulled himself up once he heard Raptor gasp for breath. He hugged the stallion tightly before letting go with a face of anger.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING FOLLOWING ME YOU MUPPET" he bellowed

But the stallion did not reply, he was far too interested in his new body.

When he finally realised that there was other ponies around him he replied "what happened"

Wolf walked him through what had occurred, leaving out the part were he brutalised the Griffon, and that as much as he wanted he could not become human again. Raptor laughed, he was happy that he knew that his friend would not abandon him for his mistake. He then looked at the wings that had sprouted put from his back, the princesses assumed because that Wolf was holding onto Raptor at the time of his transformation some of the magic must have went into him.

Raptor attempted to stand up only to be met with his hooves rapidly moving about, the more he tried to sort it out the more his legs would move more. In the end he lied back down, the princesses decided to,take the two men back to Canterlot so that Raptor could start to understand his new body and Wolf could start to use his knew appendages.
