Previous ChapterNext ChapterIN A TOP SECRET MILITARY HQ, SOMEWHERE IN SOMNAMBULA...
In a dark room with two computers, both has a picture of a female orange pegasus with bright purple manes, and a white hippogriff with sea-colored feathers. In front of the computers sat a mysterious figure, on his talons were both bio-reports about the two pilots on the screen.
"Scootaloo and Terramar... Best pilot we've got..." he muttered, "Terramar, shot down more than 20 planes with zero causalities, Scootaloo, pilots a military rescue helicopter, saved more than 50 ponies during an intense Earthquake..." then, he folded their pictures into a paper airplane. He smirked, "Just what we need..."

WESTERN HIPPOGRIFFIA, TRAINING BASE: SPECIAL OPERATION DRILL
Outside a massive fortress, stood a hippogriff guard with a red mark on his left arm, in his grip was an assault rifle. He glanced around, make sure no enemy came sneaking around. Then, he turned and walked away.
Right after he turned into a corner. Another hippogriff; this time however, had a blue marking on his arm, climbed up the ramp. Terramar had been through many drills like this, so he's a master at stealth mission. But this time, things are gonna get a lot harder with dogs.
Terramar landed softly onto the ground, he took off his blue marking and replaced it with a red one. Then, he sneaked into the "enemy" base.
A few miles from the "enemy" base, a blue griffon was hidden in a bush, a remote control pad in his grip. It led to a small drone that's following Terramar, to warn him incase of anyone coming. Gallus knew him too well, sometimes he do stupid stuff.
"South-East entrance in 25 meters." he reported to Terramar through a small speaker, "The control room, north-east corner."
Meanwhile, in the "enemy" base, Terramar had successfully sneaked into the control room using the tips from Gallus through the drone.
"You'll have to go the long way around." Gallus said to him through the speaker, "But I just have to go through the window, and straight on to the target." he grinned, "Cuz I can fly."
"Just open the door." Terramar reminded him through the speaker.
The drone next to him released a grip that contains computer virus that breaks through passcodes. With a small "Beep" sound, the door snatched open, and Terramar walked inside.
In the room was the data center, his mission is steal an important code from it, then transport it back to his base. Terramar glanced around to make sure no one is watching, then he used a smart key and opened a file. Then, Terramar snatched up the code and closed the files again. Just when he thought this mission is going great, Gallus's drone spotted something.
"Are you done?" Gallus asked through the speaker.
"Don't rush me."
"I'm not rushing you," Gallus warned, "someone's coming!"
"Stall him." Terramar said calmly.
"What? How am I suppose to stall him?" Gallus asked.
The "enemy" hippogriff walked in, Gallus had no choice but to transform his drone into a sign and stuck to the wall, it says "No Smoking."
The "enemy" hippogriff slightly frowned in confusion at this.
But Terramar was still inside the control room.
"Ugh, it's too late," Gallus sighed, "If your number's up, it's up. See you in the next life!"
Terramar immediately lay onto the floor, playing dead.
The door opened and the "enemy" hippogriff saw Terramar on the floor, with a red marking on his arm. He thought he "passed out".
"Oh man!" he cried as he rushed next to Terramar, "Are you okay?" he asked as he flipped Terramar over who is smiling. Before he realized it's a trick, Terramar reacted first.
"Her her, sorry pal." he said as he rammed his head against the "enemy's".
SMACK!
"Ouch!" Gallus flinched at this.
The moment Terramar fled out, the alarm went off.
"Kill the alarm! Get me outta here." Terramar spoke to the speaker as he ran out.
"Exit through the storage room's door, there's no griffs!" Gallus got out of his hiding spot and ran to get his friend.
Terramar opened the door and sighed in relief, but froze when he saw a dog staring at him.
"Heh heh...." he smiled nervously as he pointed towards the red marking. "Good boy..."
(~)
"BAD BOY!!!" Terramar shouted as he ran from the dog, who was chasing him, barking.
"DID A DOG ATE YOUR BRAIN?!" he yelled at the speaker, "YOU SAID TEHRE'S NO ONE IN THE EXIT!!!"
"I meant no griffs!" Gallus yelled as he rode on a speeder bike towards Terramar, "It's a dog!"
Terramar saw a cliff in front of him, he grabbed a parachute from the ground and clipped it on his back, he glanced back and saw the dog coming.
Terramar jumped, so did the stupid dog.
His parachute went open, Terramar lunged forward and caught the dog in his arms.
"Our mission is to steal the code!" Gallus face-pumped, "They didn't say to bring back a pet!"

SOUTHERN HIPPOGRIFFIA, MOUNTAIN RANGE:
The thunder roared through the mountains, a rescue military helicopter flew pass them, approaching to the area. Just a few hours ago, this place is flooded, trapping ten ponies on top of a house, and the water level is raising.
In the cockpit was an orange pegasus with bright purple manes, and another stallion. But the pegasus was flying the helicopter.
"Our last rescue operation didn't get everyone clear," the stallion said, "I think they're trapped on top of their roof. The flood might take down the entire house. They're in extreme danger."
The helicopter was flying through a strong gust of wind, causing it to wobble, but due to Scootaloo's great piloting skill, the chopper remained safe.
"The wind's too strong!" the stallion next to her said, "We're having a hard time to stable the chopper."
Scootaloo saw a rock in front of them, she immediately pulled the lever left, avoiding it, "Hold still!" she said to the stallion.
"Watch out for the..." the stallion saw a piece of rock coming.
But Scootaloo remained calm, she dodged it by flying above the rock. Nearly crashing the chopper.
"Scoot you're crazy!" the stallion gasped.
"Crazy is my middle name." Scootaloo said with a bit of humor in her voice.
They finally got above the house where the ponies were trapped.
"HELP!!! OVER HERE!!!" they cried.
"Stragglers spotted," she said to the stallion, "get them up."
Then she lowered the attitude, the hatch opened and the stallion threw a rope ladder onto the surface. "Climb on!" he shout to the trapped ponies.
They immediately climbed on, scrambling.
"One by one!" the stallion said, after 2 minutes, the ten ponies were safely onboard. Just as the hatch closed, the flood came in, destroying the house in a single blow. Scootaloo herself sighed in relief. Another successful operation, she thought as she piloted the helicopter away. Back to the base.

IN THE TOP SECRET MILITARY BASE, SOMNAMBULA
The figure checked both Scootaloo and Terramar's status report again, then he sat back nd leaned against he chair. He typed a massage to the Hippogriffian Air Force HQ.
"About time..." he said.
