Location:Canterlot Hospital
Time:1352

The sound of beeping and and some air compressor machine was all I heard as I woke up. A mask was attached to my face to help me breath and IVs stuck in my arm, I looked up at the bag that read 'Anesthesia'. They were trying to keep me weak and it was working, I looked at my hands that were bounded tightly to the bed they were sliglty red from the dried blood they tried to clean off. I tried to loosen the binds but my muscles were too weak from the IV in my arm. They at least had the courtesy to let me keep my pants and boots.

Shortly after the door to the room swung open and I was shocked to see Lt bust in. I felt a wave of relief washed over me seeing his ugly face again.

"Allan you looked like hammered shit!" He laughed.

I heaved a laugh at that. "I feel like hammered shit brother" He cut off the binds and helped me up.

"We'll make them pay for what they did to you man I can promise you that" He said getting serious.

He handed me his M9 and I hanged on to him with one arm as we made our way out of the room. My body was like a fucking stroganoff MRE, I felt even worse when blood rushed to my legs.

I leaned agasint the wall to catch my breath "We need to find Lyra"

"Who's that?"

"She's a friend of mine I trust her" I looked up at him for hope.

He thought forba moment then sighed. "Alright we'll find her but first we gotta get to the RVP first"

I perked up. "Are the others here?"

He shook his head. "No just me now let's go" I leaned back on him and we made our way down stairs.

Guards spotted us and started heading our way. I popped off a few shots before we picked up the pace and ran past doctors and patients. I landed a shot in a guards eye casuing him to scream in pain and fall over, we jumped over him and continued our escape. The hospital was in full panic mode as bullets and arrows flew by everyone, Lt opened fire on the guards at our front while I watched our 6.

Once we cleared the hallway Lt pulled me up and we went to the back exits away from the public streets. It was raining outside hard and the noise of the rain covered out footsteps as we snuck past guards running to the hospital.

"Wait..." I stopped in my tracks. "They still have my shit man"

"We'll get It later we need to keep moving Allan" Lt picked me bavk up and we made it to a cliffside with a rope attached.

I was the first to go down and it wasn't easy with an injured leg and a throbbing headache. I was about 30 feet before my hands slipped from the rope and I tumbled down the mountain and knocked myself out.

Location:Fallujah
Time:1900

The sounds of artillery rounds hitting the enemy was like music to my ears. My squad was tasked with destroying the insurgent tanks pinning our guys due East. We drove down the street and it was deathly qquiet and that's never good.

"All vics hold up we have spotted a potential IED strapled to a body" The Marine ahead of us informed.

"Copy that sending the EOD"

Our EOD guy hopped out of the truck and made his way to the body. We watched the buildings to make sure no one was around, the whole city was to evacuate and those who stayed are now considered hostiles even the women and children.

"Sergeant there's a blue and white wire running from the body to the house on my left I need eyes on that house over" The EOD said over comms.

I looked over and spotted the two story house with the Iranian flag. "Spear 2-1 this is Spear 1 send a fire team to the building with the Iranian flag"

I watched as their fire team busted into the house and gunfire rang out from the house. I was about to send back up before screams came from the fire team.

"THE WHOLE HOUSE IS RI-"

Just before he could finish the house and the ones next to it blew up along with the IED sending the EOD backwards. I moved from the humvee and rushed to the downed marine and pulled him back to the others. Our medic and I ripped off the anti blast armor and it didn't seem to do the marine any good. The explosion went off right in his face making him look like shredded meat and it killed him instantly.

"COC this Spear 1 we need a cassevac and a search and rescue team to sector 6-2, three houses armed with IEDs have a squad of marines under it over"

"Roger Spear 1 we'll send them out and they should be there ETA 10 mikes COC out"

I looked to the other squads. "Alright, 2nd and 3rd squad stay here and to get our boys out of that rubble I'll take 4th and 1st squad to destroy those tanks oorah?"

"Oprah sir"

"Alright then let's move marines!"

Location:Everfree forest

I woke up with a jolt and sad up quickly and looked around. There was a small fire in front if me and Lyra sitting by it.

"Lyra?"

She looked at me and smiled. "It's about time you woke up I thought I'd have to drag you all the way back to the old castle"

"Where's Lt?"

She tilted her head. "I don't know who your talking about"

"He's the ine who helped me escape the hospital, we had to shoot our way out if the place" I tried to explain.

"Um...that was you and me after I woke up I was being dragged away but didn't lock my horn so I teleported to a random location and ended up in the armory where your stuff was," She pointed to the pile of gear near the tree. "I grabbed it sll and hoofed it to the hospital after hearing you were there and let me say sneaking in with all that heavy gear was not easy"

I shook my head. "No...no I know Lt was there he busted open the door and pulled my ass out I didn't see you"

"Allan that was your head messing with you I promise, there was no pony else but me" She said sitting next to me.

I couldn't have imagined that shit it felt so real. I decided to leave it for now and walked over to my stuff and started putting it back on.

"You think they'll find us again?"

I strapped on my helmet and nodded. "It's a probability so I gotta teach you how to shoot;" I slipped my pack and looked at her. "Your country has made themselves an enemy of the United States, you shohld be so lucky only one marine is here"

"W-Why's that?" She stuttered.

"Cause if the Corps ever found out about what they tried to do to one of their marines your country will be burned to the ground and the princesses heads would be used as war trophies" I answered grimly.

She looked horrfied at the idea of killing and fighting her friends but she would have to learn if she didn't want to get captured by the enemy again. I strapped my M4 and the M2 to my pack and held the HK then we rucked off towards the castle. I had to plan out each defensive position for an impending attack that would happen soon. There was no way for me to get home without Equestria being on my ass every where I go.

I then remembered the humvee. "Did you happen to see the humvee when you got my stuff?" I asked.

She shook her head. "That's the thing I heard some guards say it just dissapeard into thin air before they could search it"

"Huh....that's wierd" I but the inside of my cheek wondering where it could have gone. "Hopefully we find it again my leg is starting to hurt again"

Location: Castle of the two sisters
Time:2000

I guided us through the dark forest thanks to my nods and we made it to the castle. I checked the area for any sign of life but luckily we were the only ones here for now. The bricks and destroyed castle parts could be used as barriers for our defences and the throne room would be our second phase in case we need to fall back. The last phase would be down in the dungeons where I can use the desteoyed cells as advantage points.

"Allan I found the humvee!" Lyra shouted from inside.

I ran inside and spotted the beautiful thing into the middlenof the room. I went up and hugged it and gave it a kiss on the hood.

"Oh my poor child they didn't hurt you did they?" I caressed the hood in a loving manner.

Lyra went around back and looked through the trunk "I think there's something in the back of it" She said tapping on the glass.

I went around to the back and opened the trunk to see a big black container labelled in big red letters 'Only as a last resort!'. I opened it and stared at the magnificent beast before shutting it and pulling it out of the humvee. I had Lyra help me carry it down to the dungeons and laid it in the warden room.

"What is this?" She pointed at the container.

"This is our last line of defense and our only hope in killing the princesses" I said with a smile

She waved her hoof around awkwardly. "But why not just try to talk things-" I cut her off.

"We've tried that and look what happend to us!" I shouted at her. "I didn't want you to get any more involved than you already were and now we're both being hunted by them" I didn't mean to be harsh but it's true.

"So...we can't find another solution?" She asked with hint of sadness.

I groaned and shook my head. "The only other solution is to surrender to them and be used for their sick games so unless you want to be out in that chair again I suggest you learn to shoot"

"I don't think I could...kill another pony" she protested.

"Look Lyra I known it's hard and if you can't fight then I'll protect you till my last breath!" I pointed to the double doors. I was willing to give my life for her simce she risked hers for me.

I spent the next few hours moving shelves and tables around to make a fortified defense position on the outside. I made sure the doors were wide open so I could pull back if phase 2 was needed. I made the thrones into cover by the dungeons doorway and set more traps all along the throne room. This place was rigged to basically fall apart in a single boom and thats my plan, if I'm gonna die here I'm taking as many if these sons of bitches with me as possible. I walked over to Lyra and squated next to her.

"Lyra wake up" I gently shook her. She slowly woke up and looked at me.

"W-What's up?"

I helped her up and grabbed the M4 and M50. "I set up a range out back so let's go"

(3rd POV)
Location: Griffin Stone, War room.
Time:0922

"We need to apprehend this creature before the Equestrians can" Captain Ibara said banging her claws on the table.

"We have a report saying the creature escaped capture twice and the second time he was said to be delusional yet managed to fight off anything in its way" a Griffin informed.

Captain Ibara walked over to the old relics from old wars. "If Celestia went back to her roots she has most likely tried to use magic to control his mind but failed once again" She said remembering what happend to other prisoners during the great war, they were used as mindless animals forcing them to kill each other.

Sergeant Iron Claw tilted his head looking st the large map. "We've heard that during his first escape he thought the hologram spell was the real Celestia and...did things not even I would do"

Captain Ibara scratched her chin looking at the map of Equis."All this chaos caused by one little creature," she shook her head. "If those elements of harmony couldn't stop it then..." Captain Ibara thought of the chaos this creature could bring towards Equestria if it were on their side.

"Well ma'am I think it's because the elements reconized the creature as a hood being, it never openly attacked anyone without a cause" Sergeant Iron Claw pointed out to her.

"That is...interesting" Captain Ibara said walking towards the balcony. She would have to speak with this creature herself if she wants it on their side in this coming war.

"Sergeant Iron Claw get my personal squad ready for take off I am going to speak with this creature myself to....make a deal" She ordered.

Iron Claw saluted and left the room. Captain Ibara looked over the city of Griffin Stone wondering if she could bring glory back to her Griffins and be rid of the tyrant that ruled the Sun. The creature she wanted had a similar warrior like culture as them and had a hatered for the ponies making him a valuable asset but it would be a shame to have to kill it.

A few minutes passed and her security team was ready. She went to the barracks to inform them of the plan.

"Alright the target we want is to be taken alive if possible, it has taken out a full squad of some of our best in the dessert like it was nothing also taking down Equestrian forces making him a highly wanted indsvidual," She looked at them all who looked rather nervous about the mission. "His weapons are able to shoot fire and it will kill you in am instant so we must be pragmatic about this"

One of the Griffins raised his claw. "And if he puts up a fight?"

Captain Ibara sighed amd turned to exit. "Then may the God's have mercy on us all"
