At Appleloosan Train Station, the Mad Stallions were about to unload supplies and exchange prisoners. Suddenly, the forces from the warehouse appear scattered all over the station.  Both sides were surprised and it quickly becomes a contest of who can react faster.

Unit 1 teleports nearby a group of Mad Stallions inside one of the buildings and he reacts by shooting them with his magnum. He quickly runs out of ammo and one of the 2 remaining MS’s shoots his head with an anti-buffalo shotgun. The shotgun shell breaks the helmet and it flies off in different directions. Unit 1 pistol whips the Mad Stallion and knocks out a tooth. The Mad Stallions were shocked at the sight. The 2nd Mad Stallion fires his rifle at Unit 1.  Unit 1 grabs the 1st Mad Stallion and uses him as a shield.  Unit 1 quickly swaps his pistol for an SMG (Sub Machine Gun) and fills the 2nd Mad Stallion with holes.

Unit 1 drops the dead body. He says as he reloads his weapons, “Great… we got deeper into enemy territory. What…”  Suddenly, half of the room blows up and Unit 1 falls through the floor.  A soldier sees Unit 1 and says as he helps him up, “Sir, we’re winning, we can take back Appleloosa by ourselves.” Unit 1 sees the reinforcements and asks the soldier, “Do we have anything against armor?” The solider looks confused and looks at the enemy reinforcements.

Before they could react, the Mad Stallions fire their weapons (tank cannons and bullet fire) at the Equestrian forces. Unit 1 and the solider get hit by a tank shell. Unit 1 gets some of the shrapnel all over his body while the solider he was with, looses a leg. Unit 1 says on the radio, “This is the Battle Commander; I am ordering all troops to capture the train and to secure the train engineers so we can get out. Drag the wounded and leave the dead.”

Unit 1 drags the wounded soldier to the train. As they go to the train, Mad Stallions attack them. Unit 1 uses his Magnum and the soldier uses his Battle Rifle to fight them off. Unit 1 sees as he is fighting, the Equestrian forces around them are fighting hard except for the unicorns who look like they are tired. Unit 1 sees Sergeant Black Strike; he puts away his Magnum and starts dragging the Sergeant. Unit 1 asks Black Strike, “What’s wrong with your troops?” Black Strike says, “When a unicorn uses a teleporting spell, it takes away a lot of his or her energy, especially that group spell we did to get us out of there.”

The Equestrian forces secure some of the cars. A buffalo says from an open door of a box car, “Bring them in here.” Unit 1 puts the solider and the Sergeant in the box car. Unit 1 says to them, “You, boys fought hard but we’re not done yet.” Unit 1 turns around and screams, “All aboard or be left for dead!” The Equestrian forces try their best to quickly get in the train. Unit 1 pulls out his DMR and covers the troops.

As Unit 1 shoots at the Mad Stallions, he notices that a handful of prisoners are being dragged and pushed in an APC but the prisoners aren’t being used as a meat shield. Unit 1 says, “All right troops hold the line for a few more minutes. Don’t leave until I order it.” A lot of ‘Yes Sir’s’ are heard on the radio. Unit 1 switches his DMR for his Magnum and SMG and charges into the MS line.

Unit 1 makes a strip of dead bodies on the way to the APC. Some of the Mad Stallions quickly get into the APC. As the APC’s engines roar, the doors close. Unit 1 puts away his weapons and jumps on the APC. He holds on to the APC’s armor as it drives off.

Unit 1 says on the radio, “Get the train moving… I’ll catch up.” One of the soldiers says, “But what about you?” Unit 1 says, “Go now, that’s an order.”  The soldier says, “Yes, sir.” The train starts leaving the station.

Unit 1 makes his way to the APC’s side door. The Mad Stallions hear him and prepare for the hitchhiker’s breach. When Unit 1 gets nearby the door, he punches the glass and it makes a hole big enough to fire his gun through. As Unit 1 grabs his Magnum, one of the Mad Stallions opens a window latch and tells the driver about the hitchhiker. Unit 1 gets a shot at that trooper before the driver starts to try to shake him off. Unit 1 holds on as the APC moves randomly and harshly to get him off.

One of the Mad Stallions gets impatient, pulls out an SMG, and tries to finish Unit 1. He opens the door and Unit 1 swings in and kicks the Mad Stallion. Unit 1 quickly shoots most of the Mad Stallions before they could react. The prisoners were shaking in their cuffs (Most of them were wearing a metal device on their horns and one of them was wearing a metal brace on her torso). Unit 1 points his magnum at the window hole and then the sounds of 2 things hitting the floor are heard.

Unit 1 goes up to one of the prisoners and shoots off her cuffs. He says to her, “This is a jail break, get the others free and wait for my instructions if you want to live to see tomorrow.”

As Unit 1 gets the other side door open, one of the prisoners asks, “What are you doing?”  Unit 1 says, “Hijacking.” He goes outside and grabs on to the side armor and makes his way to the driver’s door. The driver tries to shake him off again. Unit 1 gets to the door and opens it. The driver tries to fight back but Unit 1 quickly removes him from his seat. Unit 1 jumps into the driver’s seat and takes control of the APC.

Unit 1 moves a dead body and says to the prisoners, “Hello, I’m Unit 1 and I’ll be your driver for today.” One of the prisoners asks, “Where you are taking us?” Unit 1 answers, “Anywhere but here.” Unit 1 drives to a nearby cliff to get his bearings.

Unit 1 grabs a sniper rifle from his dead passenger and looks off to the distance. He sees tanks making a road block while APC and fast attack vehicles pursue the train. One of the prisoners asks him, “Why did we stop?” Unit 1 says, “To plan our next move.”

Unit 1 spots the train and starts the APC and starts driving towards it. He gets on the radio and says, “Train troopers, this is the Battle… you should know the sound of my voice by now. I secured the prisoners and we are heading towards the train. Wait for further instructions but keep that train moving for obvious reasons.”

As Unit 1 is driving the APC,, he says to the prisoners, “I hope you guys freed yourself, because you’re going to have to jump onto the train.” One of the prisoners asks, “Why can’t we stop?” Unit 1’s APC rushes by a few tanks and the drivers try to contact the Armored Prisoner Carrier that passed by them.

A voice comes from the APC’s CB (Tucker) radio saying, “APC N8, what are you doing?” Unit 1 closes the latch door, steps on the gas and answers it in a different voice, “This is…”  He quickly looks at the nearby dead soldier’s dog tag and says, “Sergeant Chili and we got orders to assist the attack force.” The voice says, “Weren’t you…” The CB radio randomly turns off and Unit 1 sighs with relief. Unit 1 says under his breath, “Thank you, crappy battery powered radios.”

As the APC gets closer the train, Unit 1 and the prisoners quickly get in the middle of fight. Unit 1 sees a box car ahead of them and gets a risky idea. Unit 1 opens up the latch door and says to the prisoners, “Get ready to jump out of the east… I mean right door.” One of the prisoners asks, “What we are jumping on to?” Unit 1 says, “Let me double check that.”

Unit 1 gets on the radio, “Troops I am in an armored vehicle approaching the box car near the caboose. I need you guys to open the left door of the box var.” Unit 1 gets to the side of the box car. One of the troops says, “We hear you and we’re opening the door.” Unit 1 says to the prisoners, “Alright open the door and jump onto the train.” One of the prisoners says to Unit 1, “Are you crazy?” Unit 1 says, “This is the best…”

The Mad Stallion forces realize that an enemy took control of one their vehicles and starts shooting at it. Unit 1 lowers his head as the glass breaks. He says on the radio, “Did the prisoners make it?” One the troops say, “Yes with the help of the unicorn’s…” Unit 1 interrupts, “Good, close the door! I’ll have to get in another way.”

As Unit 1 drives away from the box car, the Mad Stallion commander gives the forces permission to destroy the train so some of the Mad Stallions start firing missiles at their enemies. Unit 1’s APC took 3 missiles before exploding and Unit 1 fires through the air hoping the sand will break his fall.

The train slows down and the MS fast attack force surrounds the train. Unit 1 gets up and he hears a voice on the radio saying, “Don’t worry Battle Commander, we are coming to get you.” Unit 1 sees that the train is getting surrounded by the attack force and he says, “Don’t stop, keep going… I will catch up.” A soldier says, “But sir…”  Unit 1 says as he fires his magnum, “I’ll be fine, besides you have at least 100 lives on the line and your job is to protect them.” The soldier says, “One of the rules we have is not to leave a fellow soldier behind even if…” Unit 1 says, “Cut that sappy bullshit and leave me behind.” A voice says, “We won’t have to.”

Dark clouds quickly gather in over the battle and the roar of engines fill the air (Pelican engines). As the clouds are gathering, a lot of Pegasi fly up into the clouds and the MS attack force start firing their guns into the sky. Unit 1 gets a confused look on his face as he keeps on firing at the Mad Stallions. It starts to rain… lighting bolts at the Mad Stallions and the Pelicans fire blindly at the ground.

Unit 1 quickly takes cover from the incoming fire and a Pegasus lands in front of him. Unit 1 checks the wounded body. He sees that the body was hit by a Pelican and got shot in a front and a rear leg but the Pegasus was still breathing. He asks Unit 1, “Am I dead?” Unit 1 drags the Pegasus to cover and he answers, “Not yet.”

After a few seconds, an explosion is heard and pieces of metal land around Unit 1 and the Pegasus including a Mad Stallion. The Mad Stallion loses his legs and is bleeding bad. Unit 1 says to the Mad Stallion, “Listen to me and you’ll be in a better place.”  The Mad Stallion asks, “Aren’t you going to kill me?” Unit 1 says, “You’re going to die anyways. Now close your eyes, ignore what is going on around and picture in your mind what you always wanted to be. Don’t tell me what it is but tell me when you have it in your mind.” The Mad Stallion closes his eyes and as the Pelicans’ attacks die out, he says with a smile, “I got it.” Unit 1 pulls out his magnum, points to the Mad Stallion’s head and says, “Here is your ticket to your dream.” He pulls the trigger and the Mad Stallion dies a better death than his comrades.

The Pegasus asks with a shocked look on his face, “What just happened?” Unit 1 answers as he rips parts of the Mad Stallion’s uniform, “I gave him the bullet train.” The Pegasus asks, “The what?” Unit 1 says as he uses the strips of the uniform to patch up the Pegasus, “It is a way to stop a dying person’s suffering and send them to their perfect dream. You do this to a good friend or…”

Bullets fly towards the rocks, Unit 1 and the Pegasus put their heads down. Unit 1 says, “Back to work.” He gives the Pegasus a Mad Stallion pistol and ammo. “Here is your new weapon if you want a new weapon or ammo, you can take it from our dead friend.” The Pegasus says nervously, “I don’t know…” Unit 1 says to him, “Shut up, stay grounded and point the hole of the gun at a horse in a red uniform until he can’t get up and stops moving. Good luck.”

Unit 1 moves to new cover but before he can get a shot the Mad Stallions put their hooves up. The lighting stops and water can be heard hitting the metal. Unit 1 says to the landed Pegasus, “Hold your… put the weapon down.” Unit 1 looks at a few Stallions and says in embarrassment, “He’s a fresh conscript.” One of the Mad Stallion laughs as if it was a mild joke.

Unit 1 says to the Mad Stallions, “Alright drop your weapons…” A Mad Stallion charges at Unit 1 with an ax screaming, “Die you poor excuse for…” Unit 1 shoots the MS’s head and the body slides on the mud towards a destroyed vehicle. Unit 1 says, “Anyone else want rush to their death?” He looks around. “Good. As I was saying, drop your weapons and then put your hooves up.” The Mad Stallions did as instructed and Unit 1 looks around to make sure they weren’t up to anything.

Unit 1 says on the radio, “Clear the caboose. It is going to be our new jail car.” A voice says, “Yes, sir.” Unit 1 says to the Mad Stallions, “Alright everyone in the caboose… now!” The Pegasus walks by Unit 1. Unit 1 puts his arm in front of him and says, “Not you. But I do need help your with the prisoners.” A voice incoming says, “We got it.” A bunch of Pegasi surrounds their new prisoners and escort them to the caboose. Unit 1 says to the Pegasus, “Ok… let’s get on the train before the tanks come.” Unit 1 rushes to the train.

The Pegasus walks to the train to see what just happened. He sees the dead bodies, destroyed vehicles, and ashes all over the place. He says to himself, “We did this.” As the Pegasus gets closer, he accidently steps on a dead Pegasus. The dead body shocks and frightened the Pegasus and then he run to the train to hopefully escape the scene. Unit 1 says to the Pegasus, “You better get use to that because you’ll be seeing that again and again if you’re lucky.”

Unit 1 says on the radio, “Is everyone in the train?” A lot of yes sirs are heard. Applejack says, “We’re got our eyes on the train.” A pilot is heard flipping through a book and then he says, “We got you covered.” Unit 1 says to the pilots, “I hope you have enough fuel to stay with us because it is going to be a long trip back to Canterlot.”
