In 2100 the Marine corp. adopted a versitile aircraft. The V-23 Osprey. The V-23 replaced its sister the V-22 due to the ever changing battle front. It was first seen in the war between the United States and North Korea. The V-23 has been customized for orbit to ground operations. Instead of twin rotor wings, the V-23 was equiped with three highly powered jet aspect reentry engines. Two of which are attached to the twenty foot wing on each side. At the tail of the aircraft is the third engine which provides faster speed's. The V-23 has an attached mid-air fuel rod extending in front of the aircraft. For weaponry this bird can pack a punch. It has a side mounted .50 cal machine gun, and for the Mk II version carries a .50 cal machine gun, a grenade launcher, and a mini gauss cannon. Both versions carry two side window gataling guns or can be fitted with .50 cal machine guns as well. Standard paint jobs do not dissapoint. The V-23 has dark grey tiger stripes running verticly on a lighter shade of grey surface. This craft may be referred to at times as an O.D.S. ( Orbital, Drop, Ship )

For ground transport the marines rely on the one of the oldest vehicles that have been in service, the humvee. With the new technologies that have been offered have changed the humvee in many ways. The humvee's engine has been re-designed to still move fast while having new armor and weapons attached to it. In days of new planets that can house life are being discovered. So in spite of this the humvee has had many modifications to self inflating wheels and suspension. The humvee is outfitted with a .50 cal machine gun, grenade launcher, and a EMP rifle.

Vector class ships are what make America's space navy. The U.S.S. Gordon is one of those ships. Stretching to about two miles long and one fourth of a mile wide makes this ship perfect for exploring new worlds. Each side of the ship is lined with twenty deck guns and fourty 400 mml cannons. It has two main engines and two slip drive engines. Hanger bays are located towards the middle of the cruiser with a huge door that covers the hangers. These ships have been referred to as "The dogs" due to how the ship looks when the hanger door is open.

Four types of weapons that are standard in the military. The XM8 has been battle tested and is very reliable. A very complex LMG or may be reffered to at times as the "saw" thanks to the sound it makes when shooting down range. The G18 is used to its rapid fire ability and has saved many lifes. This weappon has been used for a very long time, the barrett .50 cal sniper rifle. It is favorited by sniper teams and recon units.

That is as much decllassified information I am able to give to you. Please enjoy the story of Sgt. Glenn and his adventure on planet xiophous.

Sgt. Glenn

first marine recon detachment.

December 24t, 2135

Outpost Amber, North Korea

Sgt. Glenn lay prone under brush as snow fell on his hideout. The korean mountains were cold and relentless. For the most part his area was silent except for the christmas party raving down two hundred feet behind him. Glenn lowered his rifle on its bi-pod and opened his whiskey flask. He took a swig and muttered "Happy fucking christmas." He lay there in silence thinking to himself, "I could be down there partying right now." The winter wind whipped through the air and sent a chill down his back. "Damn ghille suits dont keep you very warm" He said taking anther swing at his whiskey. "Where is that fool Novak at?" He heard foot steps inch up near by him The foot steps had owner's, more specific owners, Koreans. They walked past the sergeant muttering the most foreign language he had ever heard.

There foot steps grew silent. Glenn peeked behind him and saw the Koreans standing in a line cocking and checking there russian regular rifles. Glenn rose slowley as he un-holstered his g-18. Before he could fire he felt the end of a barrel touching his head. The man was holding a .44 magnum in one hand and a cigar in the other taking a long puff and then blowing it out. In almost perfect english the man said "You feel lucky american, now drop the gun on the ground." He said before taking another puff from his cigar. Glenn was out of options so he slowley kneeled down and placed his fire arm on the snow covered ground. The man let out a small laugh in his now short termed victory. Glenn swung his left arm knocking the magnum out of the man's hand, then Glenn took his right hand and un-sheathed his ka-bar and stabbed it into the man's jugular spilling crimson red blood over the pure white snow. Glenn stood upstrait letting the body fall backwards and back down the mountain side. Glenn quickly cleaned his ka-bar in the snow and turned his attention to the other koreans who were now gone. "Where did you go, you sneaky bastards." His answer was soon answered by the sounds of screaming and gun fire. "Shit!" he yelled as he ran back to his sniper position and picked up his sniper rifle, and looking down his sights towards the camp. His luck had just run out a freak blizzard blew through the mountain side. He had no way of telling who was who, his scope didnt have thermal optics, he and every one else down there was screwed. Raising his rifle once more he looked through his scope and picked a target. Fire... fire... fire...BANG.

One year later........

Sergeant Glenn stood in a white hall way. "Prisoner 01683, step forward" a masculine voice said over the inter-com followed by a buzz and a metal barred gate rolling open. A gaurd came through the door way wearing a grey uniform with a black tie, and a black hat. With a voice of gargling marbles came from the gaurd "lets go shit head." Glenn walked forward with the sound of chains moving with each step. He marched through the door and was given an extra push from the gaurd. "someone wants to see you." the gaurd said as they walked into another room. The room had a black see through glass wall and a silver rectangular table in the middle. The gaurd gave Glenn another push towards a chair, then said "sit down." Glenn looked at the gaurd walking to a corner of the room and then turned his attention to the black glass infront of him. He sat there in silence for a couple of minutes. The buzzing came back on and the sound of the door opening and then closing again. Glenn kept his attention forward waiting for the warden to sit at the opposite side of the table. But he never came, instead he had a manilla folder fly over his shoulder spilling some of its contents. It showed the man he shot with a bullet hole spilling a stream of blood that led to a pool of it beneath his head. Glenn looked up and said in a monotone voice "I have already seen these pictures." A dry laugh came from athe man behind him. "I know sergeant, that is what i'm here to talk to you about."

Glenn let out a sigh. " So what are you here for, to keep me in here longer?" Glenn asked. The man laughed once more "Not in the very least good sir, i'm simply here to offer you a deal. A deal that will set you free and do a great service to your country." Glenn chuckled " I didnt know that makin' deals with the devil was good for my country." The man made two loud steps towards Glenn from behind and pulled his chair back, so Glenn could see him. His black tie touched Glenn's head and the man's eyes were covered by dark glasses. "Listen here you piece of shit you can either accept this deal or die in this hell hole of a prison!" the man pushed the chair forward letting Glenn regain a proper position in his chair. The man walked around half way across the table and leaned forward putting his hands down and his tie drop a bit. " So what will it be sergeant?" Glenn let out a smirk.

Salt Lake City space port

2:00 a.m.

Glen stood out on the landing pad acompanied by two federal agents. One walked up to Glenn's right and tapped him on the shoulder "Alright sergeant Captain Akmann of the U.S.S. Gordon has agreed to transport you to your destination, under his terms though, so be respectful that your getting a second chance." Glenn looked to his right and said "I'll try my best." The sound of jet engines came across the tarmac. "Looks like your ride is here." one of the feds said. The tiger striped V-23 touched down with ease spreading dust and dirt around the craft. The back ramp dropped down and two navy men stepped out in black uniforms and holding xm8's. "Sergeant this way please." one motioned waveing his hand to come here. Glenn walked to the air craft and boarded it and the navy men fell in behind him. Glenn sat down as the navy man strapped him in. then he backed away and took his own seat. The V-23 shook as it took off from the landing pad. The navy man noticed the way Glenn was reacting to the osprey flying. He laughed "What you never been in one of these babys before sergeant?" Glenn looked at him and replied "No I have been in one, just not when its going to outer space."

A red light filled the compartment signaling they have entered space. The engines grew louder and Glenn could feel the bird move faster. It wasent long before the osprey slowed and the red light turned to blue notifying they have entered a hanger bay. The osprey landed once again with ease and the engines started to die down. One navy man stood up preparing to open the ramp door. While the other one was busy unstrapping Glenn from his seat. The man ordered Glenn to place his arms behind his back. He then placed Glenn in hand cuffs. The navy man at the door opened the hatch letting in the white lights of the hanger bay. "Damn thats bright." Glenn thought to him self. The hanger showed men and women going about their buisiness, paying no attention to the new comer on board. The two men led Glenn to his sleeping quarters. It was a solid steel door with a sliding window for food.Glenn looked inside and saw a thin matress on a steel framed bed with very thin blankets. to his left was a steel toilet and sink. Glenn sighed and looked at the navy man "Still like prison, huh?" The navy man laughed and replied "Sorry sergeant captain says no rest for the weary. "He then pushed Glenn in and locked the door behind him. Glenn looked over his shoulder and yelled "Well fuck you too, you prick!" Glenn sighed and threw himself on the bed and thought to himself "This is going to be a long trip."

It has been a long month and Glenn's destination was one day away. He was all alone for a month except for the ocassional gaurd that would give him his food. He sat there in silence before a loud buzz interupted it. A gaurd walked in and stood with a clipboard. He was looking through the sheets of paper checking off stuff as he went through. He cleared his throught and put the clipboard down to his side. "Sergeant Glenn you are to follow me to the labratory for a briefing on your mission." Glenn stood up and stretched and followed the gaurd out of his cell. They walked down the hallways of the ship passing by marines and navy men alike. The two took a left in the fairly large hallway only to be stopped by a sliding door that beared O.N.I's insignia on it. The gaurd pressed a couple buttons and the door split in two revealing a big labratory. The gaurd pointed inside as he scribbled more on his clipboard. Glenn walked in and the doors hissed shut behind him. He leaned forward and looked from his left to his right and asked "Hello anyone there?" What sounded like a pencil dropping then came a sweet femamine voice said "Ah sergeant i've ben expecting you." that was followed by many scoots of a rolling chair. Out came a beautiful woman. Dark brown hair that was in a bun with some hair hanging infront of her golden eyes. She stood up and made way for greetings. "I am Veronica, I work for O.N.I. and you are part of my little science expieriment." She said with haist. Glenn looked at her with a his eyebrow raised. "Science.. expieriment?" Glenn asked. Veronica looked at him and went "hmmm..mmm."

She then sat down back in her chair and drank her coffee out of a white mug. She scooted to the left and pressed a red button. The steel walls lifted and revealed the blue hyper space bubble moving around the ship. The intercom came on announcing "prepare for slip space entry." Veronica had a smug look on her face. "You may want to take a seat." Glenn did as he was told and took a seat seconds before the ship came out of slip space. Below Glenn could see a planet with a teal hue atmosphere with alot of gas arms extending from the atmosphere. Glenn stood up and looked out the window. Veronica chuckled.

"Welcome to planet Xiophous sergeant."

Operation Little Bird

Operation Little Bird.

"Xiophous, funny name for a planet doc?" Glenn questioned. Veronica cleared her throat.

"Well it seemed appropriate at the time due to the recon drones and UAVs took pictures of the species on this planet, most of which seem to be from greek mythology." She scooted sideways to press another button. Glenn chuckeled "How many buttons you gunna press doc?" She looked at him over her shoulder with a are you kidding me face. She pressed the button and entered some codes in, then another door opened revealing a huge glass tube filled with a light blue liquid. Inside was a horse adorned with a horn and wings. Its coat was dark black, and it had a mask attached to its muzzle. "Wow doc didnt know you had a pet pegi corn thing!" Glenn said sarcasticly. Veronica looked up from her tablet she was typing on. "Sorry sergeant, I didnt realize you were my pet." Glenn craned his neck backwards "Sorry I dont follow." Veronica sighed as she placed the tablet back on the steel table. "This is part of my expieriment, this is your new body that you will be using, I also have one of my own. Three months ago a drone took a x-ray photograph of one of these creatures. I believe them to be inteligent. Nanomites did an excellent job recreating the organs and muscle fibers in these creatures." Glenn crossed his arms. "So how come Im stuck with a pegicorn?" She sighed once more clearly out of aggervation Glenn was giving her. "I believe it to be best for my test, since there isnt many of this breed, I wanted it to atract as much attention as possible so we may learn how this species operates, And for the record its called an alicorn." Glenn let out a hmph. "So when do we get started?" Glenn asked with little enthusiasm. "I get to start now, you on the other hand start about a week from now. You have a deal with the devil good sir." She then turned back to the tablet and started typing again. "So how does this exactly work doc, that if it is you dont mind me asking?" Veronica didnt turn her attention to Glenn. "You go inside a tube that puts you to sleep, you then wake up inside your new body. I think thats it sergeant you are wanted in the hangar bay." Glenn lept up and out of his chair and out the sliding doors.

On his way out two gaurds stood there in a all mighty stature. "Hanger now!" one of them barked. Glenn walked in the direction of the hanger bay. The three of them walked in silence only for the sound of boots clomping on the deck. "Hold it" one of the gaurds said. A door slid open revealing a armory. One gaurd steped in then followed by Glenn then the other gaurd. The first gaurd pulled out a tablet and said "Take note of what fire arms you want with you. You will recieve them once your planet side by air drop, and feel free to pick out what you will be wearing and any other clothing." with that the second gaurd tossed Glenn a duffle bag.Glenn wasted no time in picking clothes. "A set of woodland digies and a ghillie suit." He placed the ghille suit inside the duffle bag. He put on the BDU's in exchange from his orange jump suit. He tied his boots accordingly and grabbed a cover [hat]. He then picked up the tablet. Looking through the armory he then selected the guns he wanted on the tablet. He selected the Mk14 with silencer, G-18, and a .50 cal sniper rifle, and a ka-bar. The gaurd took the tablet back and looked through it. "Going old school eh' sergeant?" Glenn nodded his head as he was strapping holsters to his leg. The three exited the room and made there way to the bustling hanger bay. Once there Glenn noticed two V-23's one pure black and the other with tiger stripes moving on sliding platforms. The platforms stopped in front of the hanger doors. The black one dropped its ramp and was imedietly loaded with the familiar tubes he saw moments ago and with a all familiar woman boarding it as well. Both ospreys fired their engines. A loud voice came over the intercom "All flight personel clear deck for launch." People started to leave and head through th blast doors on the other side of the hanger. "Come on get on board sergeant." Glenn boarded the tiger stripped O.D.S. He secured himself in and the two gaurds double timed back to the blast doors. The ramp closed slowly as the light from the hanger was traded with a red light. The radio buzzed in side the ship. "Hanger decompression in three... two... one..." A hissing sound could be heard around the ship's compartment. The osprey lunged forward and out of the hanger. Both ospreys banked left towards the planet below. Within three minutes Glenn could already hear the friction between the osprey and the planets atmosphere. The drop ship creaked and shook slightly side to side and would knock any one off balance if someone were to stand up.

-Captain Spitfire's p.o.v.-

It was an early morning, but the sun still shown its rays across the world. "Maybe taking a vacation isnt so bad." She thought to herself. "Catch up with some old friends, have some fun for once. That would be......" Her thoughts were interupted by something glistening in her eye. "Friends will have to wait, I have to go get the rest of the team." She then took off as fast as she could towards base.

The osprey stopped shaking as it came to a perfect altitude. The radio came on again "This is valkrie two-four. Breaking off. Copy last." Glenn saw the black osprey bank right and descend. "Copy your last two-four." came from Glenn's pilot. Two minutes passed when the radio came on again. "Attention valkrie two-three you have three bogies in bound." The pilot flipped a couple switches before replying. "Copy that command moving to engage bogies." The pilot looked back at Glenn. "Hey sarge mount that fifty and I hope you dont mind some tunes." He redirected his attention to flying the osprey. Over the ships intercom came the song that no one has listened to in a while, ac/dc shoot to thrill. Glenn smiled as he locked and loaded the machine gun. "Sarge bogies coming in, stay sharp." Glenn could see the three targets in range now, and he could see that they were holding spears. Glenn yelled "Bogies are hostile, repeat bogies are hostile." the pilot ajusted in his seat and banked slightly right going up in an attempt to flank the enemys. Glenn now had the perfect oppertunity to shoot and wasted no time. He shot the .50 cal with six round bursts. Second time he fired he hit his mark, making his target explode with red poofing in the air. The other two hostiles split up trying to surround the osprey. The flight deck operator lowered the back door and mounted his .50 cal. One of the bogies came from behind the ship but was shot down within a second. Then the other bogie made a split for it and heading out. The pilot talked over the radio. "Command permission to pursue bogie?" It took a second for a reply to come back. "Granted two-three, but do not leave green zone." The pilot was hast to respond. "Copy that command, valkrie two-three out." The ship banked far right to intercept the bogie. " I'm giving it all she's got!" the pilot yelled. A rapid buzzer went off and a red lght was flashing. " Pull off and ease up!" Glenn yelled at the pilot. The buzzing stopped and so did the red light. The osprey banked left heading back on its coarse to base. Glenn dismounted the gun and sat back in his seat. They flew in silence for thirty minutes. Glenn could feel the osprey descend as it banked right. He stood up and faced the door. It opened at twenty feet above the ground. The sounds of the jets screaming were replaced by hip hop music, marching and vehicles moving about. Glenn walked off the ramp when it was a foot off the ground. He was greeted by a marine in desert digi's. Glenn stook out his hand. The man shook it. "Greetings sergeant major." Glenn said. The sergeant major smiled "greetings sergeant, if you would please follow me."

They walked through camp towards the command center. To Glenn's left were two marines playing one on one basket ball. To his right were marines lifting weights and cleaning guns. It didnt take long for the two to get there. The sergeant major stopped and directed Glenn inside. " Colonel Morris is waiting for you sergeant." Glenn looked at him "thank you sergeant major." Glenn opened the door to a quiet command center. Glenn dropped his bag at his left and stood at position of attention "SERGEANT GLENN REPORTING AS ORDERED SIR'." Morris turned around taking a puff of his cigar "Ahhh keep it down sergeant, Its already loud enough out there and I dont need it in here. At ease." Glenn shiffted to the at ease position. "Yes sir, sorry sir." Glenn said. The colonol sat down in a chair and motioned for Glenn to do the same. Glenn walked to the chair and sat down. Morris was first to speak. "Glad you came sergeant, not many men are in recon so I cant do much on this planet as I want to without conducting an invasion. hehe." Glenn coughed. "So where does that put me sir'." Glenn asked. "It means I want you to recon a near by village. Shit ton of horse's though, but they shouldent be a problem. So I want you to recon the area and place these micro phones around the settlement." He then pulled out a black bag containing the microphones. "Thank you sir I'll be ready in twenty minutes." Glenn stood up saluted and turned away to retreive his bag. "Oh another thing sergeant." Glenn turned around once more. "yes sir?" Morris took another puff from his cigar. "your weapons are in your tent." Glenn nodded and walked out of the command center and to his tent.

Once there Glenn quickly slipped on his ghillie siut and holstered his G-18 and shouldered his Mk-14. He walked out of his tent and looked up. the sun was twelve high. "lets get moving." he said as he started moving to his objective. It took him a hour to get to the out skirts of the village. He hid in the shadows of the trees. He saw a multitude of colored horses. What caught his attention was a purple unicorn and pink one that was twitching. He could hear voices coming from the horses. He wrote down on a note book that the horse creatures were sentiant. He sprinted across the clearing and into an alleyway. Glenn crouched aside a wall and pulled out the black bag. He picked a microphone and placed it on the wall next to him. He then heard a loud gasp. Glenn turned around and picked up his Mk-14 and pointed at the thing that made the sound. What he saw surprized him. It was a mint green unicorn with a smile touching each end of its face. The horse stood up and clapped its whooves together before standing back on all four. "Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh, I knew you were real and no pony believed me. I must go tell every pony about this." Glenn's eyes widend as he fired his gun on the unicorn. pffft..pffft.

" Awwwww shit!" Glenn mentally yelled at himself. He looked around nerviously. "Okay, I dont think any of them saw something happen." He then proceeded to pick up the body, all the while looking for some where to hide it. Looking directly behind himself, he saw a dumpster. "Oh great a dumpster, how classic." He opened the lid and looked at the body. One hole in the head leaking an all familiar sight; Blood. Looking back he could see the trail of blood from the mint unicorn. " Clean that up in a bit. Glenn picked up and cradled the body in his arm's. He let out an umph. Closing the lid and then cleaning the blood off the dumpster, he could hear voices coming down the ally where he was originally. Glenn started to push the dumpster out a bit so he could sit behind it. In his hiding place he coud hear the owner's voice. "Sounds very comanding, probably an officer." Glenn thought to himself. He peeked around the corner spotting a horse in purple armor and a shield and star tattood on his ass. The other two were clad in gold armor. "Captain sir." one of the subortinates said. "Yes what is it?" the captain asked with obvious disgust in his voice. "We have not been able to find anything else." The captain grunted "Keep looking, there has to be something! Check that dumpster!" Glenn tensed up and tried to back up more. "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit." Glenn could hear the lid open and then the sound of vommiting occured. "Now is a good tme as any." He then leaped out of his hiding spot and bolted to the end of the ally. He could hear "After it!"

Glenn reached the end of the village and then continued to run across the clearing. He was almost to the forest when a sudden blurr of blue hit his left side. Glenn landed face down blowing dirt. Glenn struggled to get up. "Shit just my luck. Fucking getting caught first day." " GET OFF ME!" Glenn yelled as he was pushed more into the ground. "Rainbow dash get off that creature!" a female voice said. "What! Lay off Twilight, I was just helping." "Well your going to get hurt doing something like that." "SHE'S GOING TO BE ALOT MORE THAN JUST HURT IF SHE DOESNT GET THE FUCK OFF!" Glenn roared with his face still in the dirt. Two gasps were heard between the three."Did it just speak?" "I think it just did Twilight." Glenn gave up and let lose. "Remember your training." Glenn thought to himself. Using his momentum he knocked the suposed RainbowDash off his back and picked up his rifle. "DONT MOVE, I'LL SHOOT!" Glenn said pointing his rifle at the two. Then the three gaurds showed up. The one clad in purple stood in front of the purple unicorn. "How dare you threaten my family!" The captain yelled at Glenn. "You really think I care about you.. horses." Glenn said in a monotone voice.

"You will pay for that creature!" He captain pulled out his sword and pointed it at Glenn. Glenn raised his rifle at the head of the captain. " Ha, what is that thing going to do. Launch something?" the captain let out hearty chuckles. Glenn sighed " Precisley." The captain stopped laughing and Glenn could see his pupil's shrink. Glenn swiftly aimed from the captain's head to his left shoulder. Pffft...

All the ponies gave their attention to the bleeding equine on the ground. Glenn ran as fast as he could back to base.

Glenn dodged all the branches and vines that hung off the tree. He stowed away his rifle minutes ago of running back to base. He pulled out his G-18 and helled it at his side. Glen stopped running to catch his breath. The forest was silent all except for a humming. Standing back up strait he decided to investigate the humming. Making his way through some bushes Glenn found himself in a small clearing. In the middle were two trees with a hammock that seemed to be made out of clouds. On top of the hammock layed a very strange looking creature sipping chocolate milk. Glenn stepped forward and out into the clearing. The creature turned it's gaze towards Glenn. "Ah yes it is my savior, I would just like to thank you for setting me free. Chocolate milk?" The creature asked making a glass of chocolate milk appear on his paw. " Uh no." Glenn said simply. "Fine then suit your self." The creature said frowning and throwing the glass behind him, and then exploded. "May I ask, but what are you?" The creature smiled with a toothy grin. "I am a dranequis, My name is Discord, god of chaos." Glenn let out a small laugh. "Ha, okay... Discord what is it that you do?" "I am glad you asked my boy I spread chaos through out this land." "So how come your not doing that?" Glenn asked. "Oh I've learned my lesson. I will make my own little piece of paradise, here within the everfree." Discord floated back over to his hammock and put some sunglasses over his eye's.

Glenn continued to walk through the forest. The sounds of birds or what he hoped were birds were sqauking and chirping. All of that was replaced by the sound of gunfire. Glenn rushed through the rest of the forest to the front gates of the base. What he saw next made him facepalm. There were marines over at the shooting ranges fireing light machine guns. The sergeant major Glenn met earlier today came up to him and threw his arm around Glenn's neck. "Hey sergeant, we're having a party tonight. Plenty of fine ass and whiskey." Glenn shrugged off the arm around his neck and said "I'll think about it. Wait did you pass this with Colonel Morris?" The sergeant major clapped his hands together. "Thats the great part, he's completely fine with it, asked this afternoon while you were out." Glenn nodded his head "Alright I might come, no promises." The sergeant major walked away back to his tent. "Guess I should head to mine then."

//Video documet 0-1....\

Glenn fiddled with his camera he was recording on. "Alright doc, Im trying this out so you can get your research. During my mission earlier to day ...... I...um did something that I probably shouldent have, how ever the creatures that live on this planet do speak english. One thing I must add though is a very strange creature out in the forest, which is called the everfree. The creature called itself a dranequis. It seemed to be made out of many different species of animals. So I think that wraps it up, good luck out there doc..." Glenn then reached up to turn off his video recorder. He leaned back in his chair and he could hear the music blasting from the 'party' tent across the camp.

Glenn was making his bed so he could call it a night. Then an unexpected knock came from the front of the tent. "Sergeant, its me Morris I wish to speak with you." Glenn stood upstrait "Please come in." Glenn said. The fifty year old stepped inside. "How you doin sergeant?" Morris asked. "I'm fine sir, you?" Glenn asked back. "I'm not doin so fine, yesterday we had some marines go awall on took some supplies that we need." Glenn cleared his throught. "You do know what your asking me right?" Glenn asked hesintaly. "Yes I know but as of now I think your the only one sober enough to do something about it." "Ahhh, I see so I wasnt to be your first choice. Correct?" "Yes, so will you do it?" Glenn sighed. "First thing in the morning sir, I'll get your supplys back, not sure about the men." "Great, thank you sergeant, sleep tight." Morris then exited the tent.

Glenn got inside his rack and fell fast asleep.

The sound of a trumpet going off in the distance was heard. Glenn's eyes shot open at the sound. He sat up on his rack then cracked his back followed by his knuckles. He quickly got dressed in his BDU's. "Long day ahead of us." Glenn said sarcasticly. He stepped out side of his tent only to be met with an alarm going off and some marines running to fall in, while the others went to mount their vehicles. Glenn saw the sergeant major walk by. "Hey sergeant major what the hell is going on?" Glenn asked. "We just recieved orders from command they want us to move out and take that village you were in yesterday." "Rally what are we going to do there?" "Clear it out, O.N.I thinks its important. Oh yeah Morris wants to speak with you." "Alright sounds good, catch you later." Glenn said slapping the sergeant major's back twice and then running to head qaurters. Glenn ran across the base dodging some of the humvees that were going about. Glenn reached the door and knocked twice. A voice came from the inside. "Come in." Glenn stepped in to see Colonel Morris sitting down at his desk and two of the agents in black he encountered earlier. Morris looked up from his paperwork. "Sergeant please take a seat." He said pointing his hand at the chair infront of him. Glenn sat down as one of the agents opened his breif case. "Sergeant there is an understanding between us right?" one of the agents asked. "Yeah what of it?" Glenn questioned. "Colonel Morris here has begun operation scorched earth."

"Um okay."

"He has also asked you to go after some marines am I right?"

"Yes."

"Well we want you to postpone that, because we need you to be part of this op. So can we trust you?"

"Yes you can trust me."

"Splended, you will be on convoy one which leaves in one minute."

Glenn nodded and headed towards the door.

Glenn walked towards the first humvee. The marines inside checking thier weapons gave Glenn a nasty look. Glenn shook his head and walked towards the second humvee. There was a marine sitting in his chair and reading a book. Glenn stood infront of him. The marine looked up with his round glasses. "Ah hllo sir." He looked down a bit "I mean sergeant." Glenn smirked.

"This ride taken private?"

"Uh no sergeant, I need a gunner if your interested?"

"Alright great." He said pulling his feet back inside the humvee. Then the sergeant major walked up behind Glenn tapping him on his shoulder. Glenn turned his head.

"Find a ride sergeant?"

"His mamma know he's playing marine?"

"Hells do I know. Semper fi!" The sergeant major said pounding Glenn's rank into his collar bone. "Ura!" Glenn said turning back to the humvee and opening the back door. Glenn mounted the gun and then looked down at the private. "HEY you okay buddy?" The private stopped rambling about the steps if you get caught in a sittuation. "Uh yes sir, I mean yes sergeant." Glenn nudged him with his boot. "Hey its alright we all gett first mission jitters, just start the humvee and lets get going, looks like we'll be leaving soon." The private turned his attention back to the front and started the engine. The convoy started to move roughly fifteen seconds after the engine started. The convoy moved down the crudley made road that would eventually reach a clearing that had a smooth road to travell on. The humvee rocked side to side going over the bumps and rocks on the road. Glenn kept scaning the tree line off to the right of the humvee. The forest looked dark beyond the tree lines. The radio buzzed. "Clearing up ahead." The convoy stopped and two marines stepped out of the first humvee. They reholsterd their rifles and started to clear a camoflauge baricade. Two minutes later they headed back to the convoy. The convoy moved relitivley faster but still slow in its own way. The humvees made thier way up a small hill that lead to the main road. The convoy turned left and sped down the road.

Once the convoy reached the village it was a ghost town. All the marines in the back seats of the humvees got out and scanned the area. One pointed to the roofs. "Keep an eye out on the roofs, dont want afghanistan again do we?" Most of the marines pointed their gun's to the roof tops. Glenn swiviled the macine gun and scanned the roofs.Out of no where a bolt of blue energy shot out off the roof tops and nailed a marine in the head. Glenn turned his gun around and started shooting at the attacker. Glenn's gun set off something no one was prepared for. All the technicolored ponys ran out of their homes and were caught by the marines who fired at them. More bolts of multiple colors were being shot at the convoy. Glenn looked down to see the private keeping his head down from all the bolts that dissapated upon hitting the steel parts of the humvee. "GET THIS THING ROLLING PRIVATE!" Glenn yelled down at the driver. Glenn looked back up to see the surviving marines get back inside their vehicles and spread out in random directions. "LETS GO DAMNIT!" Glenn said looking back down at the driver. Taking a good look Glenn saw blood dripping off his hands and down the steering wheel. Glenn ducked down as a bolt hit the side of his gun. Glenn got back in the compartment and puled the private into the back seat. Glenn then got in the drivers seat. Noticing that the glass had a hole in it, Glenn reajusted himself and pushed the glass off with his foot. Glenn floored it and picked a random path to go. After half a minute of driving it was silent. As he rounded a corner he had to slam on the brakes nearly hitting another humvee on its side. Glenn got out and didnt close the door. He jumped up to see inside but no one was there. "pssst, hey buddy get down. Tangos on the roof top." Glenn dropped down and took cover behind the humvee. "Where are you?" Glenn whispered.

"Alley way gate."

"How many of you left?"

"Just us three. The bastards got Jefferson."

"Alright I'm coming over." Glenn said as he peeked his head around the corner and instantly saw three tangos on the roof. Glenn stood up and sprinted ten feet to the gate. He slammed his body on the wall. Abruptly it started to rain and the sky darkened. Glenn huddled with the others. "You have a radio?" Glenn asked.

"Yeah but its no use, thing wouldnt work."

"Here let me have a looksy at it."

"Dont have it on me, we left it in the humvee."

"Damn, do you think you can go and get it Lance Corpral?"

He looked out on the street at the tangos. He took a deep breath and bolted to the back of the humvee. The lance corpral looked over the humvee. Satisfied that the tangos on the roof didnt see him he pulled himself on top of the vehicle and took the crouch position. He opened the door ever so slowly but it creaked as he opened it. Moving into the prone position he put his upper body inside. Seconds later he pulled himself out with the radio in tow. He slid off the humvee and crept his way back to us. A fizzing sound could be heard. The lance corpral turned his body to the left and then a flash of green hit him. The radio dropped out of his hand and near the alley way. Glenn reached out for the radio and pulled it out of the rain. "Cover me." Glenn said as he ran out to the downed marine. The other two came out and started shooting at the tangos. Glenn pulled the lance corpral into the alley. "Fall back in here!" The two marines ran back to the alley. Glenn put the marine out of the rain to acess the wound. "Do any of you have a light?" Glenn asked. One of the marines handed him a flashlight. "Alright here hold this yoohoo." The marine took the flash light and turned it on and pointed it at the wound. His mid section was basicly gone. Blood filled up his wound. Some of his organs were still there. Glenn took off his ruck sack and pulled out alot of gauss bandages and some pads. He started to clean up the blood around the wound which in turn just started to spill out again. Glenn felt a hand grasp his arm. Glenn looked at the marine who had blood dripping from his mouth and his teeth was covered in the crimson liquid. He tried to talk but ended up choking on his own blood. His head fell back slowley before his helmet touched the ground. Glenn reached down into his shirt and removed his dogtags. He placed them inside his pocket and closed the lance corpral's eyes. "May god rest your soul." Glenn said standing up. The marine turned off the light and picked up the radio. Glenn took it from him and opened it. One of the wires was knocked out of place. Glen then put the wire back into the hole. After a second the radio came to life. Glenn picked up the mic. "What is the callsign?" Glenn asked the marine to his left. "Here may I use it?" The marine asked. Glenn handed him the radio.

"Henry 2-1 to command."

"This is command we read you."

"Command marine forces in the area have been split, our sqaud has two K.I.A's and the others are unknown. Copy?"

"Copy that Henry 2-1 we air sending air support and soar birds to your area. Copy?"

"Copy that command, Henry out."

Glenn took back the radio and placed it inside his ruck sack. A voice came down from the oppsite end of the alley. "Hello any pony down there? Hello." Glenn tapped the marine who had the flash light. "Give me the torch." The marine handed it to Glenn. He turned it on and flashed it at the horses eyes. "Ahhh would you turn out that light!" Shouted the small horse. Glenn looked at its features, orange, purple mane and tail, and had wings. "Go home kid it isnt safe out here." Glenn said.

"Whaaa. I am not a kid, I'm a cutie mark crusader."

"Yeah alright kid thats great but get going, like I said it isnt safe out here."

"Huh maybe I can get a danger inspecter cutie mark, I have to tell the others."

"Yeah you go do that kid, just go."

"Not until you turn off that light."

"Listen kid nobody cares, just go!"

"Nobody?[gasp] ALIEN!"

The little filly ran screaming back to the way it came. "Alright lets get moving." Glenn said standing back up. The two marines nodded and followed Glenn out onto the street. They moved across the dark streets in a single file formation. They kept close to the walls checking the roofs and ground levels as they moved across town. Glenn held up his fist signaling the others to stop. Glenn peeked around the corner and saw a sqaud of the horses in gold armor huddled around a fire. The rain picked up again. The horses walked away from the fire and back inside a house. The marine behind Glenn tapped his shoulder.

"We should smoke them sarge."

"With what?" Glenn asked in a hushed voice. The marine pulled out a grenade. Glenn smirked and stood up and walked out in the street, letting the rain soak him completely in a matter of seconds. Soon the three were lined up within throwing distance of the house. They nodded to each other, then pulled the pin and chucked the grenades through the air. All the grenades thrown smashed the windows. Loud voices could be heard inside of the building. "Three... two... one." The explosion blew down the door and the rest of the window with a thick black smoke that fled out into the street. "Alright lets go, lz is another two blocks over. The trio regrouped on a wall and moved out once again. Two minutes later the group was within sight of the lz and could see two other marines standng there. One pulled out a flare and threw it on the ground. The trio ran towards the lz and linked up with the other two. The marines all exchanged nods and took cover behind some dirt mounds and ruble. Glenn was the first to speak.

"Any other survivors?"

"No havent heard a word from any one. I think that we're the only ones left."

"Hope to god we're not."

A few minutes passed and the sound of jet engines could be heard coming off to the left of the group. The back hatch opened and set down. The group boarded the osprey.

-Celestia's pov.-

"I heard the voices of my subjects scream as I walked past their dead bodys. I felt bad, as if it were my fault that I didnt protect my subjects." The elements followed me close by, but wore expressions of sick and woe. We walked for what seemed like hours but what was a mere minute. Soon the air filled with the sound of screaming eagles passed over us. It was a ship that seemed to heavy to acheive flight. I looked at the end of it and saw what depictured a primates skull with crossbones and four words below it. U.S.MC. "Maybe it's an akronym for something?" I thought to my self. "Girls we must hurry, we cannot let it get away.!" I shouted and ran in the same direction of the flying beast. I was running out of breath but still pursude the craft. I could see it stop mid air and lower itself into the court yard up ahead. The ship started to rise again and I could see the creatures that killed my subjects. "Girls now, use the elements!" I shouted. The six began to float and their eyes turn white. A rainbow shot out and struck the beast, surrounding it in a white aroa.

Glenn turned around to look out the back and saw what Veronica caled an alicorn and six floating horses. All of a sudden a beam of light came towards the osprey. Glenn was thrown back and a marine was thrown out of the drop ship. The back door closed and an alarm went off inside the cabin. "Right engine is out, brace for impact!" The osprey skidded across the cobble stone streets. Parts of the drop ship flew off and scattered about the area. The osprey plowed threw a building and jolted to a stop. Glenn rose to his feet and took a look around. Every one is dead, suddenly he fell to his knee's but caught himself and stood back up. He stumbled his way over to the gun door on his right. He kicked it open and entered a smokey room. He looked to his right and saw seven figures. But he knew them all to well at this point. He reached to his left and pulled out his pistol and held it at his side. "Tearing you apart is going to be worth it." Glenn started to walk forward but became slightly dizzy with each step.

-Celestia pov.-

"Yes good work girls." I then redirected my attention to the sound of screaming. One of the creatures fell out and infront of me. It landed with a sickening crunch. The craft blew up and what seemed to be its wings fell off along with other parts crashed into the ground. Then the rest of it crashed and skidded along on the ground and crashed into a home. Part of a wall fell down revealing the inside to be filled with smoke. The air stood still, then out of no where a black figure appeared and it pulled out something that looked like a L. "Gaurds stop it at once!" I ordered. Two gaurds walked forwards and stopped, pointing their spear's at the creature. It walked forward and came out of the smoke and raised it's L shape thing at the gaurds. Many loud cracks went off and we ducked our heads. I stood back up to see what happened. My gaurds were on the ground and a pool of their own blood surrounded them. The creature itself was gone without a trace.

Glenn ran as fast as he could. He couldnt stop he had no more ammo to fight. He fell down into dirt. Glenn couldent breath. He reached down into his pack and pulled out an adrenaline stick. He jabbed it into his side. He could breath again but he couldnt move. He looked down at his legs and noticed that they were enveloped in a blue light. He struggled to get free with many grunts and struggling. He gave up and soon came face to face with that an end of a silver spear. His breaths were now raspy, the affects of the adrenaline stick were wearing off. "Let go of me you bastards." Glenn spat between his teeth.

"Please do calm your self." Another alicorn said.

"Fuck no, just let me go."

"Watch your mouth!" said the gaurd holding the spear. "I dont want to hurt you!"

Glenn put his forhead right at the tip of the spear.

"FUCKING DO IT, YOU PUSSY! DO IT!" Glenn yelled revealing his veins bulge from his head.

"Shut up you!"

"Do it I FUCKING DARE YOU!"

"STOP IT, BOTH OF YOU!" came from the blue alicorn. "Nightwing remove your spear from the creature's face."

"Yes ma'am."

Glenn was levitated up so he was about eye level with the blue alicorn.

"Let me the fuck go!"

The alicorn didnt bothher to acknowledge Glenn's cursing. The alicorn pulled out Glenn's dog tags and inspected them closley. "Sergeant Glenn of the you nited states mahrine corpes." She dropped the tags to the ground and opened his pockets. She pulled out his wallet and it flung open. "Whats this, a picture of your family?" Glenn struggled to reach for it, but the alicorn simply put it back in. The alicorn looked to Glenn's right. She pulled out his gun and looked over it with curiosity. She droped it to the ground. With a clank the gun soon fired off three rounds in a random direction. They all jumped but still remained focused on Glenn.

"Why are you here alien"

"How the fuck should I know, I'm just a grunt."

"Clearly I'm not going any where with you. Take us to your leaders alien."

"HA, you really think that my leader's are going to talk to you, noooo they're going to shoot you on sight!"

"Then what are you doing here!?"

"Like I said before I'm just a fucking grunt, that does all my 'leaders' dirty work, dont you fucking get it!" She pulled out one more thing a silver cylinder with a red button ontop

"What does this do?"

"Press the red button and find out."

She clicked it and gave Glenn a I just did it, what now face. Soon the air filled with buzzing. The gaurds surrounded the alicorn in a defencive position. Four qaud rotors zoomed up and surrounded the group. Their guns making a mechanical whir picked their targets. Glenn was grinning. "Pick them all off except for the big blue one!" The green circle lights on the drones turned red in an instant. The guns started chewing threw rounds and killed their targets spreading blood across the ground. Glenn was dropped and he quickly jumped ontop of the alicorn. The gun fire stopped and the drones fixed their guns on the alicorn. Glenn stood up as so did the alicorn.

"Go get out of here while you still have the chance."

"You dont scare me!" She said narrowing her eyes. A drone quickly swoop down and made the alicorn back off. There was a flash of blue light and then the alicorn wasnt there. The drone's lights turned back to green and followed Glenn on the road back to base.

The walk back to base was slow. The rain made the roads thick and muddy. Glenn could of swore something was following him. The drones would recon the area up ahead and come back. Glenn stopped, he could see the base two hundred meters

from his position but he couldnt shake the fact something was following him. Out of the bushes came out a grey and black maned pegasus. A drone shot the horse three times and made it drop to the ground, it continued to hover above it. "Hold your fire ." Glenn said pulling out his ka-bar and holding it at the pegasus's neck.

"What do you want?"

"You monsters killed my family."

"Family horse than, alright I see how it is."

"Its pony you dumb biped."

"Oh im sorry does it look like I give two fucks about what you are."

The pony stood up and came face to face with Glenn.

"You make me sick."

"You should really watch what you say to the guy who has the knife." He twirlled the ka-bar.

"I dont care I have nothing anymore."

"Sorry to hear that, but I suggest you go back where you came from." The pony pulled out a dagger. The drones hummed and shot the pegasus in the head spilling blood on the muddy ground. Glenn looked back at the base and started to jog.

-Meanwhile in Canterlot-

"Interesting story Sol." Celestia said.

"Thank you princess, I appreciate you for listening." Replied Veronica [Sol]

"So this brother of your's, Shadow your sure he's male?" Asked Luna.

"Yes I am pretty sure, why do you ask?"

"Well there isnt many males of the species, they are rare one could say."

"Hmm, just the luck of the bunch I guess."

"Where did you say he was at?" Celestia questioned.

"Last I'd checked he was some where out in the forest."

"Doing what exactly?"

"I dunno I dont get to see him much oftan anymore."

"I see, may you send him a letter to come to the castle?"

"Sure I will see what I can do."

Veronica magicly pulled out a letter and began to write. "Probably just send it somewhere random." She thought to herself. She looked back to Celestia who looked very nervous.

"Something the matter princess?" Sol asked.

"I am terrably sorry an alien species has attacked the town of ponyville." Replied Luna.

"Oh. My condolences." She was mentally screaming at the top of her lungs. "GOD DAMNIT!"

"Thank you, but I think we just might recover."

Silence filled the chamber they were sitting in. Except for a couple coughs here and there.

"Well I must be off to bed, I will search for my brother tomarrow."

"Alright then good night Sol."

Sol exited the chambers which left time for Luna to think. "Odd how something bad happens and there are not only one alicorn, but two." She nuzzled her sister's cheek. "Come sister off to bed." Celestia smiled and headed out the door.

Glenn ran the rest of the way to the main gates. The flood lights aluminated the gate. The drones flew off to the right. Two marines ran up to greet Glenn and thay held him in their arms. Glenn was exhausted. "Get me.....some.....water." The marines carried him to a tent and sat him in a chair. They came back two seconds later with a canteen and gave it to Glenn. "Sip it okay?" Glenn didnt pay attention and started to chug it letting the water fall out of his mouth. He used the rest to pour ontop of his head getting out all the sweat and dirt.

"Thanks corpral."

"No biggie sarge, just sit down and cool your jets." Glenn nodded as he leaned back in his chair. The sound of rain tapped on the tent other than that he could hear boots splashing in the mud. Colonel Morris walked in "Damn Glenn how fuck did you get out?"

"A shit ton of luck sir."

"Glad to hear it."

"Did any one else make it sir?"

"So far just you and one squad."

"Damn that bad."

"Yeah but it doesnt end there."

"Enlighten me."

"Professor Veronica Brown wants you to pack up your stuff and be ready to go in thirty minutes."

"Wait I thought I had a week?"

"Me too son, me too."

Glenn stood up and walked out of the tent. The rain pelted him again as he strolled to his tent. He sat down in side his tent and started to scrape the half dried mud off his boots. He stood up and grabbed his duffle bag and placed his ghillie suit inside, then put his video recorder in. He took a look around to make sure he wasnt missing anything. He noticed a box in the corner. Opening it he found a whisky flask. He picked it up and put it back down. "Sorry not again." He walked back outside and it was still raining. The sound of engines came over his head and touched down on the landing pad. It was a black V-23, stealth model. He ran up to the landing pad. The hatch opened and Veronica was standing there arms crossed. "Hey doc, whats up?" She slapped himm across the face.

"Ow what the hell was that for?"

"That town a mile away." She pointed in the general direction.

"Sorry doc feds would have shot me or something if I didnt go along."

She sighed. "Just get in, we have a long day tomarrow."

The cabin was filled with a bright white light. The door sealed shut making it virtually silent in side the cabin. Every thing was white, the seats, the door and the walls were white.

"So doc what is it that you had to pull me out so early for?"

"My expieriment, oh and dont get used to calling me doc, you are my new brother 'Shadow' and mine is Sol."

"Alright........sis."

She gave him an angry stare.

"Not funny sergeant."

"Shadow."

The white light turned red and pilot shouted. "We have a bogie inbound!"

Veronica shouted. "Dont engage!"

"Yes ma'am."

A crew man opened the gun door and looked out. "Nothings out there! umph." He was knocked back by a pony in a blue jump suit with a couple yellow bolts. It took a fighting stance. The light turned from red to white in a flash distracting the pony. Glenn lunged at it and knocking it to the ground. "Hey let go of me you alien freak!" The pony said in a fake commanding voice. Glenn flipped the pegasus over and took the hand bands that were used as hoof cuffs at this point and tied them to the pony. He then proceded to drag her along the deck and put her in a corner. "Dont move unless you dont know whats good for you." he said pointing at her face. The crew man closed the gun door and sat back down and flipped off the pony. She returned the favor by sticking out her tounge. "Want me to cut that off?" Glenn said pulling out his ka-bar. She sucked her tounge back in. "Enough sergeant I just had this bird cleaned I dont want any blood shed in it." Glenn re-sheathed his knife and sat back down.

The pony looked at Veronica. "Thank you."

"Dont mention it."

The pony kept looking around which made Glenn and the crew man very uneasy.

"So what is this thing?"

"It is a V-23 orbital drop ship sweat heart."

"Doc dont encourage it."

"So what is your purpose here?"

"To observe."

"well it didnt look like observing in ponyville."

"I know, I am truley sorry for that."

"So are you the leader or something?"

"Of the bafoons on this ship, yes." She giggled just a bit.

"Alright so what are you two supposed to be?" She got menacing stares from Glenn and the crew man.

"They dont talk much do they?"

"nope."

"Well my name is Spitfire, whats your's?"

"Sorry cant let you know anything else but unclassified information."

Glenn spoke up. "So what is it you do Fire spit?"

"Its Spitfire, and I'm captain of the wonder bolts."

"Sounds gay." Said the crew man.

"It is not, my boys probably woop your's any day."

Glenn and the crew man exchanged glances and then laughed.

"Yeah says your pals who exploded." Her facial features dropped.

"And that's coming from one of the drop ships, you would hate it if our jets went head to head with you." She shrunk back in the corner.

"Sergeant, gunny, stow it. I dont want to hear your voices."

"Yes ma'am." they replied.

Moments later the drop ship touched down in the middle of a forest. Glenn stepped outside and looked to his right. A bunch of cube portable homes were connected together. Glenn walked back inside the ship and picked up the prisoner.

"Hey doc do you have a spare room or something?"

"Yes far right back room." Glenn walked inside the home. First section had a table and refridgerator. The second section had two pale green tubes, that looked like a tanning saloon would use. The third section had the rooms and he turned right and opened the door. He placed Spitfire on the bed and closed the door shut. Glenn walked back into the second section and Veronica was standing there.

"Alright sergeant strip out of your clothes and place these on." She tossed him a pair of black silk underwear.

Glenn slipped in to the underwear and headed back over to Veronica who had done the same thing.

"Avert your eye's sergeant."

"Sorry ma'am."

She opened the tubes and motioned Glenn to get inside his. He laid down and the tube sealed shut. Glenn felt tired as he fell asleep. Next thing he knew was that he was inside a cave and had a white with blonde mane and tail alicorn standing over him. "Lets go sergeant."

"Uhhhhhh, Doc where the fuck am I?"

"Canterlot. Come we are late and dont forget our name's."

"Yeah, yeah Sol and Shadow, I got it doc dont worry."

"You feel okay?"

"I feel tired, but not much of anything else. Why?"

"Well I felt like throwing up, when I came to."

"Nope I feel fine, just tired."

"Okay try to stand up."

Glenn stood up with hardley any effort at all.

"Interesting, How did you stand up so quickly?"

"Dunno it felt how I would normaly do it."

"Odd it took me a while to figure out how to walk."

"Maybe you tried to hard doc." Glenn said mockingly.

"Okay sergeant smartass try picking that rock up with your magic."

"My magic what now."

"Just imagine picking it up."

Glenn's horn lit up a crimson red around his horn and the rock floated in the air.

"Holy shit doc, this is pretty fucking cool."

"Alright now try and fly. Take deep breaths and exhale, kinda like jogging."

Glenn spread out his wings, he started to inhale and exhale. Soon he was above the ground. He dropped back down and made a thump when his hooves hit the rocky floor. "Now please follow me." Veronica walked out of the cave and dissapeared into the sun light. Glenn walked out and flinched at the light that greeted him. His crimson eyes dialated to fit to the sunlight's rays. The mountain side was green and was filled with wildlife. "Not something you'll see back on earth." Glenn thought to himself. He looked at his body. Black coat with a smokey mane and tail, and a cobra hissing adorned his flank.

"Hey doc, why do I have a cobra on my ass."

"I think it fits you, especially for being desiteful."

Glenn looked at her flank which had a multitude of golden lines, almost like a fire work.

"Which way to Canterlot?"

"Follow me." She walked down the dirt path. Glenn walked along side Veronica for thirty minutes before they reached the castle. High towers, golden rooftops delicate architechery. They walked throught the castle gates that were surrounded by the enemys that he made contact with yesterday. Not many gaurds were stationed here, but seemed really spread out. Glenn looked to his right and could see fighter jets carpet bombing the town he was in yesterday. He was so taken in by all the sights he just now realized Veronica was talking. "So instead of using 'body' they use pony." Glenn nodded his head. They reached the main gate and it unlocked with a faint yellow glow as it revealed the inside. Tapestries and stone collums lined the wall. A red carpet alligned the hallways with a golden embroadery. To his right was another room with six ponies sitting around the table. He stared at them and he got a look back from the purple one wearing a tiara. Glenn ran strait into a door.

"Good going there wonder eyes." Veronica teased.

"Yeah, yeah very funny."

Veronica opened the door with her magic and revealed a throne room. In there he saw two faces he never wanted to see again. Glenn put on a fake smile and proceeded inside to the throne room.

"Greetings Sol and Shadow."

"Salutations Princess's." Veronica said.Glenn bowed his head and didnt mutter a word.

"He doesnt talk much does he?" Asked Luna.

"No I'm afraid not." Veronica said nudging him in the shoulder.The smaller pink one spoke next.

"Interesting cutie mark you have Shadow, what does the cobra represent?"

"My sister thinks that it stands for being desiteful, but I believe it stands for being clever and quick."

"So you have no idea what it actually stands for correct?"

"It would seem that way....."

"Caidence, princess Caidence."

"Yes princess it does seem that way then."

Another pony entered the throne room. A white coat and blonde curly hair with a horn strolled in. "Reads gay bonjo beans all over." Glenn thought to himself. He also seemed to be high on him self especially with his chest sticking a mile out. "I hate him already." Glenn chuckled a bit to loudley for any ones taste or for this instance everypony's.

"Something funny Shadow?" questioned Celestia, but Luna and Caidence shared a small fit of giggles.

"Yes is something funny?"

"Oh no here we go." Said Veronica, facehooving.

"Oh dont mind me I just know somepony who's stuck up when I see one."

"How dare you insult me!"

"No, no not insulting. Just pointing out something."

Luna and Caidence were almost in histarics. Celestia sighed.

"Shadow may you please apologize to prince Blueblood."

"Sure, maybe over a movie and a dinner."

"Why you!" Blueblood said charging infront of Glenn's face. At this point Luna and Caidence were laughing their ass' off.

"Enough!" Said Celestia. Every soul in the room froze.

"Sorry about that, my brother doesnt know his place sometimes."

"It would seem that way, Shadow please apologize."

"Alright I am sorry for making you look like a fool." He stuck up his chin and walced off.

Celestia looked upon Shadow and stared at him trying to read him.

"Princess, I do believe it's not polite to stare at one for to long is it."

"Sorry Shadow if you and your sister may leave the room, for a bit."

The two walked out of the room and out into the hallway.

"What the heck was that?"

"What was what?"

"Back there, are you trying to be stupid. Because if you are I will send you home where they will kill you and most likley your family as well."

"MY FAMILY HAS BEEN DEAD FOR TEN YEARS SO DONT TELL ME THAT!"

Glenn loomed over Veronica who was slumped down loking into Glenn's now bloodshot eyes. The doors came open revealing a concerned Caidence looking at the two. Veronica started to tear up. Glenn backed off a bit.

"I'm sorry I didnt mean it, I swear."

"We do not accept violence here."

"Sol me and you are going to have a long talk tonight."

"Yes I understand."

Glenn walked off in a random direction and didnt look behind.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes I think I may have pulled the wrong string."

"Is there anything that I could do to help?"

"If your up to it, Its hard to get through to him."

"Lets talk in the morning okay?"

"I'm okay with that. Thank you."

Veronica's tube hissed open and she got out. Glenn was leaning against his with his arms crossed.

"I'm sorry, I didnt realize that your family was dead, I didnt mean to......."

"Just stop doc. I dont want to talk about it."

Glenn got up and walked into the back room and went to sleep.

Glenn awoke with a start. "That was one crazy ass dream." He said aloud. Glenn stood up on the cold tile floor. Glenn imeadetly sat back down and put on some socks. He got back up and walked out of his room and into the first room. There he saw Veronica eating breakfast and a federal agent sitting there drinking coffee.

"Ah good morning sergeant." said the agent.

"Morning sir'." Glenn said scratching his face.

"Please sit sergeant, we have something to discuss."

Glenn pulled up a chair and spun it around and then sat down.

"As I was saying doctor, I need you to tell the princess' that they need to get out or will be forced. I want this to be a peacful as possible."

"Okay but why must they relocate?"

"This whole region is filled with untouched resources and its a perfect place for a colony."

"So valueing others lifes is unimportant to you?" Glenn questioned the agent.

"Well yes sergeant, as you already know our world is becoming over populated."

"Okay I'll see what I can do agent Barlington."

"Splended." He said standing up and heading outside to his black suv. Veronica stood up taking her dishes to the sink and rinsing them off.

"Sergeant I dont like this one bit, all I wanted to do is to study not take."

"I get it but we have to do this."

"Okay go hop in your pod I'll be there in a bit."

Glenn walked over to the next room and layed down inside his pod. The door closed and the lights started to spin around inside the tube and he quickly fell asleep.

Glenn awoke in a bed aside veronica's body. "Didnt think that I'd have to wake up twice." Glenn said hopping out of bed. He walked over to the door and saw a note on the ground. He tried to pick it up with his hooves. "Oh wait I have a horn." He used his magic and opened it. "I guess what you think; It does." Glenn thought. He read the letter.

Dear, Shadow and Sol.

I need your presence down in the throne room we have something urgent to discuss. I realize that it is early but I find my country on the verge of war. So please report as soon as possible.

Sincerley, Celestia.

"Whats that?" Veronica's voice piped in.

"Celestia wants our presence down in the throne room."

"Oh okay, would you walk me then?" She asked with a sheepish smile.

"Sure."

The two walked out the door and headed to the throne room. Glenn could clearly see that there were more gaurds than what he saw yesterday. They turned right and the throne room doors swung open.

"Good morning princess!" Veronica said in a cheery mood.

"As to you both." Said Celestia.

"So what is it that you requested us for?"

"I fear my nation is going to war. We havent seen any true combat except for the changling invasion."

"So you have no idea what to do then?" Said Glenn.

"Yes i'm afraid im missguided. I havent seen warfare for over around one thousand years."

"Do you have any weapons?"

"Only very few. Equestria hasnt really needed them and its a slow process to make them. The only two desicions we have are to peacefully negotiate or use the elements of harmony against them."

Veronica and Glenn looked at each other and then back to Celestia.

"Princess is it possible for us to have meeting in private, just us and you?"

"Yes. May I include the elements?"

"I'm sure that would be fine, I think they need to hear this to."

Celestia pulled out a letter and parchment. She wrote on it and sent it in a ball of golden flame.

Seconds later six ponies came through the door.

"We came as soon as we could princess."

"Glad you could make it. Shadow, Sol meet my prized student Twilight and her friends Rainbow dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie pie, and Applejack."

Glenn and Veronica turned around.

"Pleased to meet you." Said veronica.

"Oh wow two alicorns." Said twilight. Celestia magicly spawned a stone table with a sun insignia on it.

"Please sit my little ponies."

They gathered around the table.

"So what is it that you wanted to talk about Sol and Shadow?"

"Princess we have some disturbing news. Now please hear us out and refrane from doing anything."

"Okay I abide by these rules."

"We are not from this world princess." said Glenn.

"What do you mean?"

"We are those aliens you came into contact with the previous day." said Veronica. Gasps from the others were heard but Celestia kept her composure.

"So then what are you doing here?"

"Simply just to study how your society works."

"So 'your' intentions were not to hurt my subjects?"

"Yes princess we wouldent do that. Or at least I wouldent." Veronica said looking over to Glenn.

"What does she mean Shadow, or is that even your real name?"

"The town you call ponyville, I was there both before and during the attack. What I did there doesnt make anything better, but I feel bad about doing it."

"Were you the one who was in that big metal thing?"

"The one that was shot down with a rainbow?"

"Yes that would be it."

"Yes that was me."

Another couple gasps were heard.

"And the one who almost killed my sister?"

"Like im said I'm sorry I didnt intend anyone to be hurt, but hey shit happens."

"I dont know what to say, you killed so many of my subjects."

"And your subjects are the ones who started that."

"How do you know this?"

"I was in a humvee that you call a metal beast. A blue magic bolt came from a roof and nailed a marine in the back of his head."

"Does he speak the truth Applejck?"

"It seems to check out princess." Applejack said with a frown.

"So does your military operate at its own free will or is it commanded?"

"It is commaned and we were ordered to go to ponyville. Trust me from the all the marines there we wish that we never would have gone, all the stuff we did, and because of how many brothers we lost."

"So what happened in ponyville was just a spur of the moment?"

"Yes princess." Celestia looked back over to Veronica.

"So what do you suppose we do?"

"I believe there is someone who wants a diplomatic meeting, but what he wants you may not agree to at all."

"And what may that be?"

"I think its best that this should be discussed with him."

"Okay then its settelled, please contact your leaders for a diplomatic meeting."

"Ill be sure to do that princess, sorry for what has happened."

Rainbow dash spoke up. "So thats it your not going to make them pay or anything!?" She flew up and floated above the table.

"Rainbow dash please sit down?" pleaded Twlight.

"And what let them get away with it!"

"As in they, I hope you mean just me and not Sol?" Said Glenn standing up.

"Oh yeah what do you got!?" She said flying over to Glenn to get in his face.

"Rainbowdash stop this, its not going to get us anywhere."

"Okay Twilight." She said backing away slowley still giving Glenn the evil eye.

Rarity spoke next "Twilight how could you side with them?"

"I'm not, I just dont want anything else to happen, you've seen what they can do."

"Your friend here is right, were not ones to be trusted as a hole."

"We are a very unpredictable speicies." Added Veronica.

"So princess when you hold the meeting, I suggest having alot of gaurds to accompany you."

"So you fear for my saftey?"

"Well I've spent enough time near the feds to learn that they are sneaky clever bastard's."

"Alright then will you and Sol accompany me to meet them?"

"Sure thing princess."

"Well then this meeting is over, if you would please exit the room."

Everyone left the room except Celestia.

"Good to meet you girls hope to see you soon, maybe in our true forms." Said Veronica.

All the girls walked away without acknowledging them except for Twilight.

"Sure maybe that will be great, see you later then."

"Yes good bye Twilight."

The two walked back to their room and found Caidence standing there.

"Oh I've been looking all over for you, where have you been?"

"Princess if you would please leave, and go ask Celestia. We have something to talk about." Said Glenn

"Oh okay I suppose you sorted things out, I'll go see my aunt, have a good day!" She said and walked away with a smile on her face.

"She has no idea whats going to hit her once she asks."

"I would seem that way sergeant. Lets notify Barlington."

She opened the door and they went to lay down in the bed.

The sound of spinning stopped and the tubes hissed opened. Glenn rolled out onto the floor. He felt weak. Veronica jumped out.

"Whats wrong sergeant?"

"Nothing I just feel really weak."

"You sure."

"Yeah just go notify the dingle berry Barlington."

"Okay."

She got up and walked into her room.

Veronica came back in.

"Alright I'm done, how you holdin up?"

"I've been through worse." He said leaning his back against the pod.

"Well rest up, you need it."

"I get to rest on free will, please someone pinch me I must be dreaming."

"You must be feeling better."

"Yeah I guess so."

She stood up and walked back into the first room. It was silent untill the sound of banging was heard. Glenn stood up and walked into the third room. Glenn opened the spare room door and tumbled out Spitfire.

"Can I please go now?"

"Ahhhh, but firespit you havent had breakfast yet."

"I can eat once you let me go........so let me go."

"Please eat with us, I mean its the least we can do for locking you up right."

She narrowed her eye's. "Fine i'll eat."

"See that wasent so hard now was it." Glenn pulled his ka-bar out. Spitfire twitched as he did that but he only cut off the band that bound her.

"Thanks."

"Dont sweat it, now how about some eggs."

Glenn and Spitfire walked into the first room. Spitfire took a seat at the table where Veronica was sitting looking at her tablet.

"Oh no.... Glenn get dressed we need to go now!" Shouted Veronica. Glenn wasted no time in leaving the kitchen. Thirty seconds later Glenn came back into the room but no one was there. He walked outside and saw Veronica talking to the pony.

"Go to canterlot and notify the princess that an attack is coming." Spitfire nodded and took off imeadetly.

"Doc whats going on?"

"They are getting prepared to attack canterlot because we didnt tell them to get out. They really up for the idea of negotiating peace."

Gleen looked at the osprey and opened the pilot's side door and got in he waved to Veronica to get in. The engines flared to life. Glenn brought it around while still rising.

"Do you know ow to fly this thing?" Veronica asked holding onto her seat for dear life.

"Not a clue."

"What!"

The ship took off towards canterlot momentaraly later it broke the sound barrier. Minutes later they could see canterlot in the distance and a collum of tanks with a Mk II V-23 heading down the road to the castle.

"You think Spitfire made it?"

"If we're here she just might be there." Glenn said with doubt in his voice.

"Hey Glenn slow it down a bit!"

"Oh, right shit." Glenn pulled back a lever and the craft came out of breaking sound with a loud crack from th abrupt stop. Glenn tilted the control stick forward and the osprey moved once more. Down below he could see a mass of ponies moving out of the city. But his presence only helped out with all the ponies running as fast as they could. Glenn stopped the osprey and put his hand on the adjacent handle and pulled it back slowley. The bird started to decend with ease.

"Activate the landing gear." reminded Veronica.

"Cool your jets doc. I got this." Glenn touched a yellow button and he could hear the mechinasm fold out the landing gear. The drop ship bobbed up and down signaling that they have landed.

"Go warn the princess just incase we beat Spitfire." Glenn said flipping more switches to turn off the engines. Veronica opened the co-pilot door and ran towards the castle.

-Veronica's pov.-

I leapt out of the door and ran as fast as I could to the castle. To my right Spitfire landed next to me. We wasted no time in greeting each other. The castle doors opened fast to reveal Celestia standing there.

"Spitfire where have you been." She said not acknoledging the human next to her.

"Princess you have to get out of here!" Veronica and Spitfire said in unison.

"Sol is that you?"

"Yes princess but we have no time you have to leave."

"But I must stay here for my subjects."

"Princess please listen, this place wont be here for your subjects or for you if you stay."

"Okay what do you suppose we do?"

"Either we stay here and die or we can head back to the drop ship we brought with us."

"I will stay and try to solve this peacfully and if that doesnt work come pick me up at the top of the mountain where the others are at."

"Okay princess, can you take me there now?"

"Sure." Celestia's horn glew and Veronica dissapeared.

-Celestia's pov.-

The sound of banging and explosions could be heard on the opposite end of the city. The sky lit up with orange and black and the sound of screaming eagles appeared. The behemouth swooped down and did a 360 turn and hovered above the ground. A door/ramp opened and touched the ground. Dust was being kicked up and obscured my vision. The so called human in a black suit stepped out from the back of the flying demon.The demon rose and the dirt screen settled back onto the ground. The ship took off back to where the sounds of bangs was heard.

"You know i'm actually kind of sorry I have to do this but hey you know its logic." The creature said waving his hands at his side while holding the L shaped thunder maker.

"Why are you here?"

"Oh you dont know why, seems that Veronica and sergeant Glenn didnt tell you."

"They said that I would have a diplomatic meeting not an invasion."

"Well heres your deplomancy." He said aiming down his thunder maker. Another human came out of seemingly no where and jumped in the way of me when the air cracked, then it cracked once more. I opened my eye's and looked at the scene infront of me. Two bodys lay ther on the ground, one unmoving and the other grunting and gripping its shoulder.

Glenn just jumped infront of Celestia and shot the agent in the head, but he took a round to his shoulder. He let out raspy grunts as he tried to cope with the pain.

"Oh my are you alright?"

"Never been better." muttered Glenn.

"Here let me help." She put her horn on Glenn's wound. Her horn glowed a faint glow of gold. All the pain in Glenn's body dissapeared. He looked at his shoulder which was no longer bleeding from the hole the .45 gave him.

"Thanks"

"Dont mention it Shadow."

"Just stick to sergeant or Glenn. Either or will do fine."

"Okay we need to get to the top of the mountain, Sol said that you had a ride to get up there."

"Yeah follow me." With that the two ran across the castle grounds to the sight where he had touched down earlier. The sky became dark. Glenn pointed at the dor back door for Celestia to go right there. She did and stood there and waited. Glenn on the other hand went around the drop ship and jumped over the re-fueling rod and opened the pilot's door. Once in Glenn turned on the engines and dropped the back door. Celestia stood there and looked inside. Glen popped his head out in the small corridor and waved for celestia to come in. She proceeded inside and the door closed behind her.

"Take a seat and hold on." Glenn touched the handle and made the osprey rise. Soon the sound of another drop ship was heard as well as the pelting of led hitting metal. The other osprey flew by shaking Glenn's V-23 as it passed. Glenn evaded and banked right and headed to the mountin top. Seconds later Glenn could see Veronica waving him down as well as the others. Glenn dropped the ramp and let Celestia get out and get the others. The sound of a gattiling gun roared and made lines of snow jump up in the air. But Glenn would have none of this, he closed the ramp and took off. Above the two drop ships circled each other. On the ground they were to high up to make out who was who. Lines of orange came from both of the osprey's shooting at one another.

Glenn fired the mounted .50 cal at the other osprey. Glenn hit his engine and it blew up in flames and the osprey plumeted towards the ground in a ball of buring jet fuel. "What in tarnation just happened?" asked Applejack after the osprey hit the ground making a burnt crater in the process.

"That was a dog fight." Veronica stated in matter of factly.

"But dog's dont fight here." piped in Fluttershy.

"I'm pretty shure that was retorical. Was it Sol?" asked Twilight.

"Yes it was and please call me Veronica."

"Oooooooh Veronica what a pretty name, we should so totaly throw you a party." said Pinkie pie.

"Sounds nice, but lets hope that is Glenn up there or we may never have that party."

Their answer was fufilled when the black drop ship swooped down and opened the door. The light from inside the ship spread across the ground making the dark go away. Glenn looked back and saw that they were all smiling as they got on board. Once Veronica had them all in their seats, Glenn shut the back door.

"Wow this is so awesome." said Rainbowdash.

"Your species is very advanced." said Luna.

"I still dont trust it." said Shining armor in the back of the compartment.

"Hey princess or at least one of you, can you came up here and tell me where to go!" Glenn shouted back.

Not a traitor, just entrepreneurship

Two hours after air engagment.

"So you mean to tell me that, your omnivourus?" asked Twilight.

"Yes, we are but for now I think we can resort to vegetables and fruits."

"That would be most welcome." said Luna.

"So you eat both? Thats just weird." said Pinkie rolling her eye's around.

"Hey where did Shadow go, I mean Glenn." asked Celestia.

"He said he was going to look for some food."

"What kind of food?"

Just then Glenn came out of the forest holding a pair of rabbits by their hind legs. Every one wore a look of disgust or shock.

"What?"

"You.... you killed them?"

Glenn looked down at the rabbits and back to Twilight.

"It would seem that I have."

Silence fell over the group.

"Sergeant can you please get rid of them? For everyone's sake?"

"No can do doc. I'll just go eat somewhere else then." He turned and walked away to go set up another fire. Glenn grabbed two more picks out of the survival kit in the osprey. He came back outside and placed the poles into the ground. He then carfully placed the rabbits on it. Quickly he cleared the ground and started to make a fire. Glenn blew on the stack of needles and sticks he collected and it took to life, with a satisfying crackle. He lowered the meal he got so it may start to cook. He leaned back proud of the work he did and watched his food cook.

"Glenn?"

"What can I do you for firespit."

"It's Spitfire and I'd appreciate if you start calling me by that."

"Okay I'll keep it in mind. So what is it that you want?"

"Veronica said that you might have a plan to help us out."

"I may have one but I need to think it over more, Its very risky."

"Okay I'l go tell the others."

"Alright fine by me." Glenn said poking at the rabbit he caught.

Spitfire strode back over to the others and sat down on her haunches.

"So what did he say?" asked Twilight.

"He said he had to think it over, risky he said." She looked back over to Glenn who was eating the rabbit he caught.

"Something seems to be bothering him."

"There is always something that is bothering him." said Veronica

"Maybe I should go talk to him." suggested Caidence.

"Oh no i'm not going to let you near him."

"Then come with me if you fear for me."

Shining stood up and walked over to Glenn.

"Glenn?"

"hmmm."

"Is there something you want to talk about?"

"Whats there to talk about?"

"Well what's on your mind, you seem troubled."

"Well you your right but I dont feel like talking to a pony I hardley even know."

"Okay I respect you choice and I'll leave you to it."

"Yeah great, thanks." he said sarcasticly.

"You should show more respect to my wife."

"That a threat or a demand, twinkle hooves?"

"Both."

"Oooh, now you really got me shaking in my boots."

"Why you!" Shining then knocked Glenn's meal into the dirt.

"Hey I was eating that!"

"You disgust me." he said walking away from Glenn and back to the others.

Glenn picked up the rabbit and threw it into the woods. He picked up some more wood and placed it into his fire. He loked at the blood in his hands and then wiped it on the ground. Glenn scooted back against the osprey and let the warmth of the fire ease him rest.

"I think im going to go look into his memorys and see whats troubling him." said Luna.

"Careful you may not want to see some of the things inside his head."

"I will be."

Luna then proceeded to lay on the ground next to where Glenn was sleeping. Her horn glowed a violet blue and she made her way inside his mind. Luna explored his mind untill she came across a figure standing in the blackness that surrounded every thing. She landed next to him but he did not acknowledge her presence untill he spoke.

"I dont know what you're doing in here but I suggest you leave."

"I promise I wont interfere with anything."

"Okay, but that was your only warning."

The plack void quickley turned into alot of memories flashing by and many voices were heard of laughter, triumph, and screams of pain. A memory crashed into them and Luna was now part of his dream.

"Dont watch this." said Glenn's self concise.

But Luna couldnt just not watch. She saw a paved road with many houses lining up the street. It was raining hard. A vehicle came along and so did a very big one carrying a very large crate on the back. The huge one crashed into the smaller one crushing it instantly and sending sparks every where. But the bigger one just kept going and didnt stop. Luna then saw Glenn come from one of the houses screaming as he ran up to the vehicle. Luna stod at his side and looked down through the crushed glass. Inside was a female and what seemed to be a male child. They were both bleeding from all the cuts and broken bones that barley stuck out. Glenn threw open the door which came strait off and fell to the ground. Glenn pulled the female out and cradelled her as he cried. The sound of a siren came around a corner at the end of the street and came to a stop near by. A human dressed in a black uniform and a golden badge stepped out of the car and pulled Glenn away from the females body. More of the siren blaring vehicles arrived as well as a bigger white one.

"I cant watch this anymore." Luna then pulled out of the dream and came back to reality. Glenn still was asleep but had an expression of anger. Soon Glenn awoke and looked at Luna who was right next to him.

"What the hell do you think your doing?"

"I'm terrably sorry I peered into your dream and saw what happened."

"Why."

"You seemed troubled, so I wanted to help."

"Well I dont need your help."

"Okay." she said standing up and walking over to her tent.

The camp was foggy around the treeline. The smoke from both fires last night was carried off into the slight breeze that rolled through. Glenn saw Applejack sitting next to their fire trying to get it going again. After a couple seconds she got it going and she slumped down and looked into the fire.

"Morning Applejack."

"Oh... Good morning sergeant Glenn."

"Anyone else awake or is it just you?"

"The princess went down to the river, but other wise im the only one awake."

"Glad to hear it, you want a coffee or something?"

"Naaaah I'm good, but thanks anyways."

"I'm going to go wake up Veronica."

"Okay you do that partner."

Glenn walked into Veronica's tent and knelt down beside her.

"Hey doc wake up." he said rubbing her shoulder.

"Not now I'm still sleeping." she said moaning.

"Hey doc, come on wake up." She leaned forward and peered at Glenn through partially closed eyes. Glenn looked at her and he realized that she was in her bra so he stepped back a bit.

"I should punch you right now." She fell back and streched her legs out. "So what is it that you want?"

"Oh I'm just letting you know that I'll be leaving and taking the drop ship with me."

"Okay you go do that." she said turning her back to Glenn and fell back asleep. Glenn came out of the tent and saw Caidence sitting down with Applejack.

"Morning princess."

"Oh, good morning Glenn. Did you and Veronica do um... you know what last night?"

Glenn stod there trying to comprehand what she said but then it hit him.

"God no. I was just in there trying to wake her up."

"Oh, I see now my fault."

"I'm leaving for a while, so dont go any where."

"Understood."

Glenn hopped inside the drop ship and the seats were cold. He started the engines and it started to rise.

Glenn flew across the valley and saw the green pastures below. To his right he saw Canterlot in bellowing smoke from its tower's. He banked left and headed to the forward operation base. It was silent the whole way there. He flipped a switch and the main gun was primed. "this is going to make alot of noise." he thought. He swooped down low and opened fire on the humvee's and fuel storage area and it lit up nice. Glenn pulled off and prepared for round two. "Alright next the drop ship's."

He lined up his sights on the fuel lines connected to the osprey's. He shot and it exploded, and also taking the ospreys with it. He pulled off and headed west towards the suspected location of the traitor's campsite.

Glenn searched over the dashboard for the marines. Then to the far left he could see a humvee covered in a camoflauge tarp. "Gotcha." Glenn said as he banked left. He landed at the base of the hill and could see that the marines had their gun's fixed on him. Glenn opened the door very slowley and hopped out. He put his hand's up in the air to signal he wasnt a threat. Two of the marines walked down the hill and patted Glenn down.

"Alright what are you doing here?"

"To make a propersition." The marine gave him a puzzled look.

"Alright follow me but dont do anything stupid."

"Fine by me."

They strode up the hill and into a hasty command post. Sitting at the colapsable table was captain De'bell.

"Please sit sergeant."

"Thank you sir."

A marine walked over and whispered into the captain's ear.

"Thank you staff sergeant, that will be all."

"Now sergeant Glenn what is this propersition your're offering me?"

"Now I'm not sure why it is that you went rouge but need your help."

"Help with what exactly?"

"To get the main strike force off of this planet."

"What do we get in return?"

"I'm pretty sure that the ruler of this land will be more than abliged to give you your own spot of land and a safe place to live, instead of hiding."

"Hm, I see your point. But I'm not exactley sure what my men will think."

"Sir you want the best for them right?"

"That is correct sergeant."

"Then please help us out."

"Okay you got yourself a deal. So what is it that you need us to bring?"

"The humvee could be put inside the osprey and bring as many munitions that will fit inside. I have a feeling we're going to need as much as we possibly can."

"Okay sergeant, I'll gather my troops you go put whatever you wnat inside that humvee."

"Thank you sir."Glenn saluted and walked to the humvee. Glenn started to load crates of food and ammunition and weoponry.

Glen then walked to the driver's seat and started the engine. It roared to life as he started to back it down the hill towards the osprey. Once at the base of the hill Glenn got out and lowered the ramp. Glenn was walking back when he saw twenty marines standing infront of him. The captain walked up.

"Sergeant they're yours to command."

"Thank you sir."

"Alright marines when we have the humvee loaded on board, go ahead and mount up yourself."

"EYE SERGEANT!"

"Alright fall out."

The marines disspursed and stayed close to the osprey. Glenn got back inside the humvee and rolled it strait inside. The marines made ther're way inside and strapped down the humvee and took their seat's. Glenn got up front and took the controll's and then De'bell got in the co-pilot's seat.

"Mind if I join you?"

"Not at all sir."

Glenn pressed a couple button's and the drop ship took off with a slow start. But it did it's job and they made ther're way back to the campsite.

The drop ship came to a stop above the designated LZ for the camp. Glenn lowerd the osprey gently onto the ground.

"Stay here for a second." Glenn said as he hopped out. He walked to the camp where Veronica was sitting.

"Where did you go?"

"To go grab something."

"Hm. And what did you grab?"

"Follow me."

Glenn walked back to the osprey and Veronica followed. Glenn dropped the ramp and revealed thee marines sitting inside.

"Go ahead and pile out and stay away from the campsite for now."

"Yes sergeant." They replied getting out.

"Wow Glen this is great."

"Really thanks doc that makes me feel all good inside."

"Sergeant should we unload the humvee?"

"Sure thing private can you unstrap it then?"

"Yes sergeant." The private walked away to fufill his order's. Glenn walked over to the marines huddled around captain De'bell. Glenn listened in.

"Now I now I have asked alot from you these last couple of weeks. But be prepared for sergeant Glenn to ask more from you."

"URA!" they shouted. Glenn walked over into the camp only to see Shining armor looking at the marines with hatered.

"Hey Shining, dont look at them like that, they've agreed to help you out."

"I dont care your all the same."

"Is that so, well maybe you wouldnt fell the same way if I had a gun pointed at your face and you we're begging for mercy, now would you."

"What seem's to be the problem here."

"You need to put a leesh on your husband."

"Why you!" Shining said as he charged Glenn. But Glenn stepped out of harm's way and let the captain trip over a log.

Glenn walked away back towards his fellow brother's. "Yeah brother's."

Glenn could now see the private backing the humvee back out. Glenn redirected himself to the humvee instead of the group.

"Hey private help me unload this shit inside, would 'ya."

"Sure thing sergeant."

They unloaded the supplys from the truck and placed them into seperate piles, guns/ammo and food rations.

"Hey Glenn is there anything I can do to help?"

"Nah, your good just rest up I'm going to need you on a mission."

"Oh okay." Spitfire said walking off back to camp, but turned around quickly.

"Hey what was with that fight over there with you and Shining armor?"

"I wouldnt call that much of a fight, because I could probably kick his ass."

"Oh okay, just thought I'd ask."

Glenn and the private continued to unload the rations until there was none left.

"Thanks for the help private."

"No problem sergeant."

The whole day passed in what seemed to be a couple of hours. The marines had set up a fire and so did the ponies. Glenn walked out of the osprey where he had just talked to De'bell about his mission. Glenn continued to walk towards the marines until he found himself right behind the group. They stayed silent and some looked at Glenn waiting for something to happen.

"I need some expierienced marines, four or more years to come with me on this op. You may not return but we will bury your body. Now who's in?"

The marines looked at one another for a bit before came some replies.

"I'll go."

"Count me in."

"Sure."

"Why the hell not."

"Any one else? no okay then, you four follow me."

Glenn walked back with the marines to the osprey. There sat Celestia and Spitfire on the ramp part, with De'bell.

"Alright you four listen up we're going to go over mission objectives."

"Yes sergeant." they replied in unison.

"Alright first objective we will be hot dropping into castle grounds here." He said pointing at the holo map.

"Second we will secure a LZ, for the drop ship to land when we have to pull out."

"Third we clear out the castle and let the princess do her thing, mean while when that is happening we will be down in the prison cells getting out any, if any survivors."

"Fourth we take down any other hostiles and take no prisoners."

"Sergeant your asking us to kil our own brothers you know that right."

"Yes I know corpral, but dont you think that they wont do the same thing to you if you get caught."

"Understood sergeant."

"Another thing callsign is Lima. So go get prepped marines."

Glenn headed over to the weapon crates with the marines.

"Pick any weapon you want, and grab plenty of ammo and a silencer."

"Yes sergeant."

Glenn picked up a xm8 and attached a silencer to it's muzzle. Next he grabbed a barretta 98 and put a silencer on that as well. The group replaced their woodland camo digi's with black bdu's instead. They grabbed helmets and attached night vision goggles to it and secured them tightly to the helmet's frame.

"Alright let's head out marines."

They nodded and boarded the osprey.

The osprey flew strait and proud towards canterlot. They have already tooken the liberty of strapping the parachutes to their backs.

"E.T.A. ten seconds."

The cabin light turned red and the ramp lowered. Ping a sound went off and the light turned green. The five marines jumped out and headed towards the castle with high speeds. They stood in formation as they plumeted to the ground below. Celestia and Spitfire caught up with them. The sounds of wind screamed in their ears.

"Pull the chute!" a marine yelled to the others. They pulled chute and stopped their descent rapidly. Celestia and Spitfire had to turn their necks just to se what happened to the humans. They reached the ground and landed with a soft thud. The marines soon landed after words onto the soft grass.

"Turn n.v.g's on and proceed to objective two."

"Hey sarge we got two tango's sitting there."

"Take them out silently, take out the lights first and then drop them. WeJll move their body's into the bushes after."

"Copy that."

The marines held their fire and locked onto their targets.

"Fire...fire...fire." a pffft sound was barley heard as the light went out. It was soon followed by two more silenced shots that killed the two tangos.

"Alright move up and move their body's."

A radio chimed in. "Sierra two-four, your lights are out. Every thing alright down there?"

"Yeah command were good I think it just blew."

"Alright do we need to send someone down?"

"Nah we're good, we'll just let our eyes adjust."

"Alright Sierra two-four over and out."

"Copy that command, over and out."

"Hey good going there staff sergeant." Glenn complimented.

The marines made ther're way inside the castle. It was dark but they continued ther're way in. They made ther're way into the throne room. The moon's rays had the room lit up pretty well. Across the room was the command post.

"I count three."

"Switch them off sergeant?"

"Yeah, do it."

The marines took aim.

"Fire...fire...fire." The sound of silenced guns fire left their guns and hit their targets.

"Tango's down."

"Alright Celestia do your thing."

"Celestia walked over to a door and stuck her horn in it."

"Spitfire stay here and protect the princess, we're heading to the prison cells."

"Alright."

The marines walked out of the throne room and down into the dungon of sorts. They continued along and came across a group made up of five ponies huddled together whimpering.

"Hey shut up in there!" a marine yelled at the group banging his black handled stick against the cell door. Glenn and a fellow marine grabbed the gaurd by surprise and threw him to the ground knocking the wind out of him. Glenn pulled out his barretta and fired once into the jarhead's skull. The casing fell to the ground and made a heart stopping ping.

"Hey what was that?" a gaurd asked coming from the room infront of the squad.

"Shit drop them, when they come out."

Two gaurds came out and searched the corridor. The silenced weapons fired once more and their body's fell to the ground.

"Search them for ant keys."

"Here I got a set right here."

"Great, get them out while I go turn out the lights."

Glenn proceeded inside the gaurd house and turned out the internal and external lights that illuminated the hallway.

"Alright follow us and stay quiet if you want to live."

The ponies nodded and followed Glenn up the stairs.

"Wait hold up, we got a patrol coming by, stay silent."

The patrol walked by and then Glenn moved across to the throne room on the otherside. Glenn slid the door open and pushed them inside. Inside they saw Spitfire on the ground and was rolled up into a ball. Celestia how ever was staring down the barrel of a .45. Glenn shot the agent in his leg making him drop to the ground and his gun slid away.

"I knew you were bound to show up."

"Yeah thats great, and another thing say hello to the devil for me." Glenn shot him in the head letting blood spill out onto the marble floor.

"Thanks." said Celestia.

"Hey lets not worry about me, Spitfire seemed to take that bullet pretty damn hard."

Glenn picked up Spitfire and put her into a fireman carry and they walked out of the throne room and out onto the castle yard.

"Lima one to night hawk, you there?"

"I read you loud and clear Lima one."

"Great set down at LZ alpha, we need extraction."

"Copy that Lima, moving in for extraction."

"Thanks night hawk, Lima out."

Glenn then set Spitfire down and checked her wound. "She had the bullet lodged in there somewhere. It wasnt so bad most of the bleeding stopped, but needs attention soon." Glenn thought. The osprey touched down and it's engines sprayed dirt all around the aircraft. Glenn loaded every one inside and looked out the back end of osprey. He saw eight marines taking position to fire.

"Shit! we got tango at six o'clock."

The group started to fire at the waiting marines below. They all scurried to take cover. Soon the fire fight was over. All the marines down range were killed. The back door closed and glenn took his seat.

"This is going to be a long ride home." He thought.

Glenn sat on the edge of the black hawk's compartment door. The ripples of water reflecting the sun's rays towards the craft. Dolphins swam under neath the helicopter. They looked hapy in a sence but that just may change in the upcoming events.

"Sergeant you looked zoned out, you okay?" came from the seal team captain.

"Yeah im good. Actually I was thinking, why do you seals still use the black hawk?"

"We think its versitile and quick."

Glenn nodded his head in agreeance. He continued to stare at the ocean depths rushing past him. The black hawk anked right and Glenn felt as if he was about to fall strait out. He grabbed the nearest bar and gripped on it for dear life. The helicopter eventually leveled out sending a spray of the ocean water up into the air. Glenn let go of the poll and scooted back more into the bird. He reached for his scuba gear and secured the straps acordingly. A seal turned his oxygen on for him. The radio chimed in.

"Ozone two droping gliders."

"Copy that Ozone two, dropping friendlys."

The pilot looked back at the team with his black domed helmet and gave a thumbs up. They jumped in the water which greeted them with a very cold rush corresing their body's. The gliders bobbed up and down in the scerine water enviorment.

"Moving towrds gliders."

"Copy that moving towards gliders."

The team mounted the gliders and turned them on. With a low audioable humm the gliders lurched forward and sank beneath the ocean depths.

Sounds of the water moving out of the way for the seal team. In the distance Glenn could see the Walter class submarine ahead. Its dark blue body gave it away in the lighter blue waters. The seal team leader held his fist and the whole team stopped and didnt move a muscle.

"Turn power off and prep charges."

The motor whir came to a stop and the sound of nothing met their ear's. Glenn shifted his charges and looked back to the forward position.

"Alright here we go."

The seal captain pulled out a small peice of metal and started to tap the side of his glider. The metal ping echoed through out the water. Glen looked at the sub which was now turning their way. The sound of the sub grew louder and louder untill it was right over their heads.

"Now."

Every one started the gliders back up and turned tailed it to the advancing sub. Glenn aproached the aft section and reached out to place his charge on the hull. With a metallic ding he swerved away from the ship and resurfaced with the seal team. In a matter of two seconds flat small ruptures could be heard beneath the wave. The sub surfaced not a moment to soon splashing a large amount of water up and into the air. The team then proceeded to the back end of the sub and regrouped.

"Sierra one reporting."

"Sierra two reporting."

"Sierra three reporting."

"Sierra four reporting."

"Alright check weapons and ammo we are going in hot."

"Copy that sir." the reest of the team replied.

They gathered around the hatch and placed small detinators on the hinges.

"Clear!"

The hatch blew clean off and the team proceeded inside the rocking submarine. Glenn shifted his attention to a door that had a dead bolt unlocking. Glenn raised his sub machine gun and directed it at the opening door. Bang, Bang, Bang. The bullets ripped through the sailor spewing blood on the wall behind him.

"Moving up a seal said checking the corners before he fired a couple himself. Glenn went in second and sweeped the deck area.

"Clear!"

"Clear? This place is empty."

"You think they are planning something?"

"Yeah probably." Glenn replied.

They moved down the silent stricken hallways. Suddenly a grenade rolled out into the hall way.

"GRENADE!"

The team moved to what ever cover they could find, which was just some entrences to rooms. They came back out and returned fire at the sailors who just came out of hiding. Multitudes of different guns cracked the air and sending their lead projectiles down range. The fire fight was over and the team moved forward stepping over the dead bodys that had a pool of blood surounding them, as well as bullet casings littered the metal floors of the hallway. They met alot of resistance all the way to the command bridge. But they were quickly dispatched as they moved forward with ease. Soon enough the seal team was at the bridge door stacking up. "three...two...one..Clear!"

The bolts flung of the steel door rendering anyone to enter at their own will. The captain came around and kicked the door open only to be met with a shot gun firing and knocking him backwards. The rest of the team charged in guns blazing with precision shots at the crew members. The bullet casings rolled around and blood seeped out of each new hole in the crew members.

"Check on the captain will ya!" Glenn shouted at a seal. He left the room immeadietly to check on the captain. Glenn searched around inside the fallen crew member's bodys.

"Sarge what are you doing?"

"Looking for launch keys."

"Why?"

"To send a clear message."

"You cant be serious."

"I am very serious, ahah, found them. Here get on that console. On the count of three we turn okay."

"Sure thing sarge."

"Three...two...one.."

They twisted the small knobs and looked at the holographic display board. Glenn punched in a few buttons and the sound of hatches opening were heard. Glenn walked over to the area where the breach in happened.

"How is he?"

"He'll survive, the kevlar protected him plus all the other equipment."

"Thats great now we need to get him topside for evac."

Glenn picked up the captain and put him in a fireman's carry and walked down the narrow hallways. It was a struggle to hoist the captain up the ladder but they finally made. The sun was setting on the horizon making a breath taking veiw of orange and yellow lights across the evening sky.

"Ozone to Sierra one, do you respond?"

"This is Sierra four to Ozone, we need evac on the double, Sierra one took one for the team."

"Copy that Sierra four moving in for estraction."

Spitfire layed down on the floor; dead. The team lost her half way back to camp. The cabin seemed to stand still. Celestia must have taken it hard because she couldnt stop staring at the corpse in front of her. Glenn stood up and picked up Spitfire and turned to place her in the small hall way connecting cabin to cockpit. Glenn came back after placing Spitfire down and sat next to Celestia. He placed his arm around her and held her tight.

"Sorry this happened."

"No need for apologies, I havent been around much death in the thousand years I've ruled."

"I understand princess."

"I dont get you humans, first you take lifes and then you console others."

"I get it. Yeah just like Veronica said before, we are a very unpredictable species."

"Hm. Tell me Glenn how old are you?"

"Thirty five, why?"

"Just thought I ask seeing how most of your forces seem young."

"Yeah most are. Some join right away when they turn eighteen."

"Eighteen that seems to be a little bit to young to be doing the things you do."

"You think thats young, I mean back in world war two there were sixteen year olds fighting."

"So your species is war loving?"

"No, we only go to war when its nesscisary."

They rode in complete silence the rest of the way. The engines hummed and then it started to rain. They reached camp in a matter of three minutes top. The ramp lowered down letting the white light spread across the wet ground. Glenn ordered a marine to bury Spitfire. He took the body and walked over to a flatter area. Glenn walked over to the command tent that had been set up while they were out on their op. Captain De'bell sat at a collapsiable table sipping coffee with princess Luna and Celestia.

"Evening sergeant, care to take a seat?"

"Yeah dont mind if I do sir." Glenn sat down in the chair."

"Princess Luna told me about a town a few klicks from here."

"Is that so." Glenn said looking at Luna.

"Yes, she figured that if we go there we would have a place to live and get some food."

"What is exactly the name of this place?"

"Appleloosa."

"Alright sounds like a deal to me. We leave tomarrow after we have a ceramony for Spitfire."

"Why what happened?"

"She died on the way back."

Glenn got up and out of his seat and headed outside to his own bed. The rain stopped ubruptly as he walked through the door. "Strange weather." he thought walking back over to his tent and laying down inside.

Glenn woke up and rolled out of his sleeping bag. he stood up and put his boots on and tied them tight. Soon enough he could smell sausage being cooked and decided it was time to get out and grab some grub. He walked over to the marines huddled around a fire.

"Morning marines." he said grabbing some sausage and eggs.

"Morning sergeant." they all replied.

Glenn grabbed his food and sat down with the others. Shining came over and pushed Glenn's shoulder making him spill his orange juice.

"I cant belive you let Spitfire die, she was a good mare."

"You know what captain." Glenn said standing up. " Your right she was, so maybe I should have brought your dumbass with me."

Shining jumped on Glenn and sent him back wards nearly landing in the fire. The two wrestled out with one another. The marines dropped their food and created a circle around the two. Eventually Shining got pushed off and he took a fighting satance. He was tired and Glenn could tell it, so he took his stance as well. Shining charged forward. Glenn took a step with his left foot and brought up his right, kicking Shining in the jaw. Shining fell to the ground and breathed in the dirt. All the marines were yelling "Holy shit!" Glenn kicked Shining in the gut causing him to roll over onto his back. Glenn put his knees on the ground on either side of Shining. He grabbed his shoulder with his left hand and started to punch him across the face with his right. Shining put hhis head up in attempt to make it harder to be punched. But Glenn head butted him back into his original position. Blood started to seep out of his nose and he whimperred some what.

"Had enough yet?"

"No you call this pain." He said with a smirky attitude.

Glenn raised his fist one more time and brought it down on Shining's face; knocking him out instantly. Glenn stood up and looked at what he had done. He walked back to the log he was sitting on and continued to eat, even without his orange jucie. Caidence and Twilight walked over to see what all the comotion was about. They both wore expressions of shock when they saw Shining's body laying in the dirt all beat up and blood starting to crust up.

"Sergeant what happened here?" Both Twilight and Caidence asked.

"He wanted to mess with recon, so he got what was coming."

"Ura." a couple marines said.

"So you beat him up?" asked Twilight.

"Well it would seem so."

Caidence was about to say something when captain De'bell walked over.

"Alright listen marines we are going to have a ceramony in a little bit. So drop what your doing and head over to the grave site over there. Understood?"

"Yes sir!"

All the marines packed up and headed over to the grave sight. The marines lined up in formation. The ceramony seemed to take forever. It seemed that every one of the ponies had something really long to say. The ceramony ended with Rainbow dash placing a wonderbolt patch on her grave, then followed by the rest putting roses on the grave. All the ponies stood there in silence bowing their heads as the marines left and packed up everything and placed it in side the humvee. They drove the humvee inside the osprey and they took off to Applebloosa. A hour later the osprey came back and every one/pony boarded and they were off to town. Once in town Glenn could clearly see the town was boarded of and walls blocked the exits. The osprey set down in the middle of town. Every one on board got off and got situated with where they were going to be staying.

A whole two days passed by very fast. But bordem was beging to take its toll. But excitment filled the air with the sound of chopping. Glenn took his binocular's and spotted two black hawks coming to their position.

"SHIT TAKE COVER!" Glenn yelled and all the marines took cover inside houses and aimed at the black hawks rolling in.

The side door opened and a seal team hopped out. They were holding a orange flag and held it above their heads. Caiptan De'bell walked out of the building he was in and greated the seal team.

"Captain De'bell... good to meeet you sir." He stuck out his hand and De'bell returned the gesture by shaking it.

"What brings you to our little sanctuary?"

"A safe place to call home sir."

"Well seals are always welcome aboard my boat."

"Thank you sir, we have supplys in the black hawk, but we need your help with something."

"And that is?"

"A heavy missle sub has been reported near a major city near the west." He said pointing to a map near the region.

"Alot of the horses there have no way of defending them selves against that, so we would like to have more expierienced men accompany us to take out the sub."

"Okay First Lieutenant you have your self a deal but I only think one of our men is capable of helping you out."

"And who is that sir?"

The black hawk swooped down low and touched down on the submarine's top deck. Water being picked up into a mist by the rotars. Glenn hauled the seal team captain on board the black hwak and layed him down in a comfortable position.

"How you holding?"

"I've been through worse. Thanks."

"Dont mention it."

The black hawk took off as the other two seals boarded. Glen looked back at the ocean. Its waves lapping ontop of one another. The moon was rising and replaced the sun. Glenn leaned back on the helicopters wall and wanted to sleep but he couldnt. He opened his eyes out of a mental frustration. Moments later the two black hawks were passing over the city. Yet this city seemed all a bit to familiar. He saw a green statue that resembled the statue of liberty. "Our worlds are a bit to simular." Glen thought to himself. On the roof tops he could see ponies yelling and waving at the passing black hawks. But Glenn just couldnt stop thinking about what he had done on the sub. He just sent cruise missles on a one way trip to the U.S.S. Gordan.

"It's over." came a grudgey voice. Glenn looked down at the seal captain.

"What's over?"

"Well this. We put our lives on the line and took the lives of our brothers in arms away, just for some god damn horsess."

"Yeah, but fighting for whats right is what we do right?"

"I guess so sergeant. But still we could have not helped them and we would just be fine."

"I see what your saying, but it just might be alright."

Silence filled the cabin. and the thumping of rotor blades chopped the air. "Yeah it just might be alright."

Glenn fell asleep on the long trip back to appleblussa. There he would start rebuilding the ponies way of life with his fellow marines. Captain De'bell died five years later due to a strange virus. He was decorated at a marine memorial that Glenn and the other's built. After long years of rebuilding the world that was destroyed every one and every pony went their seperate ways. Glenn settled down in a cozy log cabin in the woods with his new wife Veronica. The seal team Captain Harrow was later nominated for couragic acts of service by equestria. Glenn attended that cerimony and caught up with many of his friends he served along side with. He lived his life in a peacful land with no need of war. Months later Glenn left out on an expodition with some marines and two other ponies to investigate the crash sight of the U.S.S. Gordan.
