Commander Meteor Mash of the Equestrian Expedition force is a little fed up. For two years he and his comrades in arms have been locked in a war of attrition with an unknown enemy from across the border. One day, the newely coronated Princess Twilight Sparkle asks for the presence of him and his dragoon team. Obviously peeved by this random request, he obeys orders and heads to ponyville. This had better be good, the enemy is at the gates.
