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?"
