Scootaloo slept decently well last night, as she wondered downstairs she overheard a conversation between Viktor and Gabriel.

"Gabriel, this situation needs to be dealt with swiftly, the sooner the better, get Michael and head to this area here, apparently a high ranking officer from their group will be there." Viktor said as he point to an area in the map, looking to Gabriel knowing for sure he wouldn't turn down a job like this.

"Of course, it'll be done." Gabriel said in a serious tone, walking over to Michael and patting his back and they head to the front door and heading to the van and driving off.

"Alright.. now we just wait.." Viktor said, sitting down on the couch and sighs and holding his head. he knew it'd go well but he always had to be ready for the worst to happen, that's how it was for a soldier, always be prepared. He then realized Scootaloo was there, "Oh hey kid, something wrong?"

"No, nothing's wrong, but.. what's going on?" Scootaloo asked hoping he'd be honest.

"I'm not sure I should tell you.." Viktor told the young girl, he knew the truth had to come out at some point, but how does he explain it all. "Ok.. sit down.. we'll wait for your friends.."

Scootaloo nodded and sat down on the couch. Eventually her friends came downstairs and sat with her, looking at Viktor waiting for his explanation.

Viktor sighs and he begins to explain as he sees Jason enter the room and nod, "Forty years ago our organization was meddling with timelines, in doing so we gave a different timeline version of Sector E1, or.. the Pony world, technology.. eventually a group of Pegasi questioned on a new way to make rainbows.. and recruited Rainbow Dash.. after a while.. they started using those they deemed failures to be killed and used in the making of rainbows.. in this timelines.. you three.. well.. 2 of you didn't make it.. the other.. she was given a second chance as a sort of secretary to Rainbow Dash.." Viktor paused, "Twenty years passed without us noticing and then we noticed they were trying to make rifts to other timelines and worlds, there was a massive war between us and what we called Scenario 13.. after a final mission, me and my crew thought we had killed them and destroyed everything, It's clear we were wrong." Viktor said, finishing his explanation, he refused to explain what happened to him, He'll always hold those scars, He'll never forget.

Gabriel and Michael were heading to an old abandoned facility to assassinate and take out a major leader and his forces, intel said the leaders name was Dr. Specter, and he was the first of many, Gabriel hoped to get information out of him before killing him, as they arrive at least half a mile away from the facility, Gabriel and Michael step out of the truck and begin to walk towards the facility.

"Alright Michael, let's stick to the plan, I'll keep you covered from above, you just give them what for.." Gabriel says, going towards high ground and setting up near a window.

"Yeah, I got you." Michael says running to the main entrance, nodding at Gabriel as he throws a smoke grenade inside, using the smoke the get in undetected and head to cover. Just then a small group of 5 plus Dr. Specter appear, investigating the smoke, Michael looks to the window waiting for Gabriel's signal.

Gabriel lifts his hand and then clenches it into a fist, he watches as Michael quickly kills off the 5 other scientists while Dr. Specter begins to run off, it's then Michael shoots him in the leg, preventing his escape.

"Dr. Specter." Michael says coldly, sitting the doctor into a near by chair, tying him up. Gabriel walks in and stands against the wall.

"Tell us where Rainbow Dash is!" Michael says, punching Dr. Specter in the gut, Causing the doctor to gasp for air.

"I won't.. tell you shit!" Dr Specter says, struggling in his binds.

Michael hits him in the face, "We can do this all days! we got plenty of time!"

Gabriel then smashes a window and holds up a small shard of glass, "And windows, give us what we want, and we'll guarantee your safety."

"Fuck you! ShadowWatch will fall regardless!" Dr. Specter says spitting out some blood.

Gabriel then forces the doctor's mouth open shoves the glass shard in, Michael punches him in the face, causing damage but not enough to kill. The doctor spat more blood out along with the glass shard.

"She's.. in the.. School basement.. she's going to sneak out of there and open a portal to another world, it'll happen tonight.." Dr. Specter says, coughing up blood, "Now.. what are you going to do about it? huh?.. haha.. it's almost time for her reckoning.. she will consume everything, and will use Project Dawn to ensure that!"

Gabriel punches him in the face, "What is Project Dawn!?"

Dr. Specter chuckles darkly, "It's a chemical that will cause the next apocalypse.. you cannot stop it.. not without the shutdown code.."

"What's the code!?" Michael yells holding the doctor by the throat.

"The Broken One has it.. she's the only one who has it.. haha..", the doctor laughs weakly.

"Well if she's here then dimensional crossing has occurred, meaning our target also has the code.. it's just locked away in her subconscious.." Gabriel said, looking to the doctor who seemed shocked.

"No.. how did we not calculate this!?" The Doctor began to panic but calmed down. "No matter.. you won't be able to stop her!"

"I see.. then there's no use for you to be around" Gabriel said taking out his magnum and shooting the doctor in the head. "Come on Michael, let's go, I'll radio Jason and tell them everything."

Jason sat there comforting the three girls who were visibly shaken until he hears the radio go off, "I'll be right back.", He picks up the signal and picks up the radio, "Yes? Gabriel? Michael?", His face falls as he's told everything, "I understand.. I'll let Viktor know.. NO! Don't argue with me! he has to know!.. Alright.. we'll be waiting" He puts the radio down and heads back into the living room. "Viktor.. we have a mission to do, we need to go quickly."

Viktor stood up and packed his bag, "Don't worry you three, Gabriel and Michael will be here soon so stay calm.", Viktor heads to his car with Jason with him.

After a while Gabriel and Michael return and begin to protect the house, hoping that Viktor and Jason will get the mission done swiftly, but of course, they had to be prepared for anything.
