A story loosely based on the events of "BattleField 3" and "Modern WarFare 3"

After the rise and defeat of Discord, Celestia takes into account that Equestria is in need of a military. Bad idea. She appoints Shining Armor as head of her new army. Carried away by his power, Shining Armor attempts to overthrow canterlot, almost murdering Luna in the process. More than half of the army had joined forces with Shining Armor. The attempt was a failure, but shining armor escaped in the process. Shining Armor is never seen again for the next 10 years. This is where the story begins.

"All right, remember the mission, get in, capture Shining, get out. Remember that the princess wants him alive, only kill if absolute necessary."

Several weeks ago, Shining Amor had contacted the princess for the first time. He had changed a lot. A patch on his left eye, some weird accent, and his coat had faded from white to a dark gray. His demand was to hand over Canterlot to him, or he would take it by force. He had said all of the continent will be his, starting with it's largest country, Equestria. While the 40 second message was broadcast, recon satellites had been able to track down a rough area of his location. Stealth team "Gamma 7", a group of 5 of the best trained military assassins had been sent to this location to capture Shining Armor.

"Right, let's get this over with" Capson had replied to their commander codenamed "Smitty"

He thought the mission would be easy, every one of their missions was as such. They had been on a lot of missions, taking out some of the world's most wanted men. The world had changed in the last 12 years, it had changed a lot. Their location was a small fortress in a jungle, it was dark and raining and Gamma 7 were all in Camouflage suits that they had made from natural leaves and grass. Worked very well, enemies could never see where the fire was coming from. Of course their guns were also draped in a leaf blanket and had attached silencers.

The team advanced, taking small pauses to crouch and check for enemies through their scopes. When the military was created, Shining Armor had engineered a ring-like device that could be attached to the outside of a hoof, there was a small mount that held a gun of choice and could rotate 90 degrees vertically and horizontally, for ease of transportation. A small curved metal beam would be attached to the trigger and wrapped around the ring and attached to the bottom of the hoof, a strong push would spring the beam and fire the weapon.

When they made their way to the entrance of the fortress, Argo placed a small but silent explosive charge on the handle of the door, with their night vision goggles on, they detonated the charge and barged inside. Nothing. Putting their guns down but their guard's up, the team walked through the first corridor and found a metal staircase spiraling downwards.

"It's way too quiet, this could be a trap" Joel said. They all had headsets tuned into frequency that only the 5 members of the team used, it was almost impossible to crack. The microphones amplified their voices so they could whisper and stay quiet, but if someone yelled "Grenade!" the microphone would deafen their voices so it wouldn't hurt anyone's ears.

"Were a stealth team, we don't get discovered, that's why it's so quiet" muttered their commander

"Yeah but, usually we can hear people talking or walking or something"

"Relax Joel, we'll be fine"

They slowly made their way down the staircase, none of them uttering a single word until they made their way to the bottom. "Oh my god" said Lester, "What the hell is this place?"  Suddenly back in Canterlot where Gamma 7 was being monitored, their frequency went blank, their heartbeat's stopped.

"Smitty, Smitty, do you read me?" General Zeis said into the microphone. Their only reply was static. "That's it" he said. The princess was in complete shock, Gamma 7 had always completed their missions flawlessly. She knew that what they were dealing with was far beyond what she had thought. Thus war began.

Now that we got that squared out of the way, how about some intro music?

Chap 1. Personal

Gamma 7 never made it out, no one made it out. 4 other teams ad been sent in to see what the hell was happening over there. The first team got RPG'd during the helicopter drop off. The rest made it in and never came out, their transmissions cut, their heartbeat detectors...deactivated. Shining Armor finally decided to show himself, by using a chemical bomb to attack Canterlot. Because of the field of magic surrounding the city, barely anyone got out alive. He still had control over the Field, it had been deactivated for 10 years, but finally decided to put it back up for his debut attack on the capital. General Zeis had decided to send in every troop within 5 miles of Canterlot, even some militiamen from nearby villages, most came from a place named "PonyVille" Now what the hell kind of name is that? You would expect a bunch of happy, techni-colored cupcake eating village full of Ponies, but instead the town has it's own small army. We are now being extracted from Canterlot, air lifted to the nearest large military bunker. Who knows what is next...

40 MINUTES EARLIER

"Carlowe, grab an RPG and take out that armour!"

Reaching for the nearest conveniently placed RPG launcher, Carlowe aimed down the sights at the tank, one shot at this. He pulled the trigger and the grenade propelled. Hitting the tank dead center. "LET'S MOVE!" General Zeis shouted to our regiment. As quickly as we could, we slowly made our way past the barrage of flying led. Using several cover points and taking opportunities to shoot when they could. We eventually made it to a somewhat safe place where Zeis gave us a quick briefing of the objective. "We need to clear the hotel, place charges on several weak points, and bring the tower down on them. Several tanks are posted at nearby buildings, if we get this right, we should be able to take out them, and a good chunk of the army in the city. "LET'S GO!"

The team advanced a floor, instantly ambushed by a group of SAA (Shining Armor Army) taking them out in no sweat, they quickly made their way to the top of the tower, placing charges on the way and taking out as many SAA as they could.The top was flooded with enemies. Mako got sniped instantly, warning the rest of us to find cover. Carlowe took shelter behind some collapsed rubble from the building directly next to them. He was trying to locate the sniper, almost getting shot 3 times with his .50 cal.
