Twilight shouted "Eeyup?" Big Mac asked "Dash ain't dead," Applejack said "What?" Big Mac asked confused "You remeber, that pony said Redemption with several meanings," Twilight answered "Ya mean?" Big Mac asked "Yes, Dash and Soarin are still alive, probably captured but alive," Twilight answered "If your right, then we need to find them," Big Mac answered "Didn't I just say that?" Twilight asked "You there! Get a platoon of choppers ready and scout everything around 15 miles from here!" Big Mac ordered "Yes Sire, but that will take some time," The Pony replied "I know, now go!" Big Mac answered They waited for a report from the scout team. Arround 2 till 3 hours later "Sir, we found a Russian prison camp in a small village in the North-East it's about 8 miles away from the last attack," A Scout informed "Affirmative, Comeback and get your guns back on the choppers," Big Mac replied "Yes Sir," The pony replied They waited till the choppers got back, They remounted the weapons and The whole army began to move to that small prison camp, it took them several hours because they had to go all around the chinese defence, it took them 2 till 3 hours until they arrived there "Okay everypony, The russians have about 4 battalions down there, we outnumber them something around 10:1, so let's just charge in" Big Mac said "Affirmative," The Commander answered Before the russians knew what hit them half of the camp was already overrolled, Still they were able to send out a help message. "Come on everypony, we have to sweep those houses and get away here, The russian force is guaranteed already on it's way," Big Mac ordered They went through several houses, but nothing, they walked into the last house. "Squad one you go right, My squad goes left," Big Mac said "Yes Sir," A pony replied "Guys we are here!" A voice shouted They ran after the voice and... "Holy...," Big Mac exclaimed, Several gasps right after. I was pretty much covered in blood everywhere, I was barely conscious "Is she ok?!" Twilight asked "Mom?" Rainbow asked "Ehmm...," Twilight didn't know how to respond "Yea my reaction exactly as she ask me if I was her Dad," Soarin replied "No wait... Twi? Did they got you too?" Rainbow asked "No time to explain, we need to get moving," Big Mac interfered "We have to get her out of here and some medical care," Soarin shouted "Right," Everypony agreed Soarin sat me onto his back while the other made sure I don't fall down, They carried me to a troop transporter, they sat me down and everypony except of Soarin got back to their tanks. Okay everypony, we got her let's get out of here!" Big Mac shouted We began to make our way back. "Dash how do you feel?" Soarin asked "Well, I feel great you know" Rainbow answered sarcastic "No, really Dash, how do you feel?" Soarin asked serious "Well, not so bad as I thought I would," Rainbow answered "...," No answer "Soarin I'm getting tired goodnight" Rainbow said "Night," Soarin answered I went to sleep again, but before I was gone I felt Soarin giving me a kiss on the cheek, just before I blacked out A Couple of hours later. "How is she doc?" Soarin asked "She lost much blood, got 3 broken ribs and a severe concussion, But she is stable," The medic answered "Do you have any idea when she wakes up?" Soarin asked "It's different, Sometimes they wake up the next day and sometimes they wake up after days" The medic answered "Okay, If she wakes up please tell me doc," Soarin replied "Okay," The medic answered Soarin walked out of the tent, and walked over to a group of ponies in a cricle talking with each other, as one of them saw Soarin walking to them , they stopped talking and turned to him. "And how is she?" Big Mac asked "She is stable," Soarin answered "Thanks Celestia," Most of them replied, the other just had a sigh of relief "Guys I'm gonna go sleep was a hard day for me," Soarin said "Okay, goodnight," They replied 2 Days later Soarin was now everyday by Rainbows side "ughh" Rainbow groaned "Dash?" Soarin asked "Huh? Wha?" Rainbow asked sore "Finally your awake," Soarin said "What do you mean? how long was I out?" Rainbow asked "About 2 till 3 days," Soarin answered "What?" Rainbow asked as she shot up from the bed "Yea, you were out nearly 3 days, We didn't attack since our rescue, But we are going to have a Commander meeting tomorrow evening," Soarin answered "Rainbow, I'm sorry but I need to get going," Soarin added "Okay," Rainbow answered The Next day. It was near evening once again, and the Commanders began to meet around a map, It took several minutes for everypony to meet there "Okay, now that everypony is here we can begin to plan," Big Mac said "So, We are going to attack directly like last time, But this time we are..." Big Mac began "Sorry everypony, What did I miss," A familiar voice asked "Dash?!" Soarin exclaimed "Yea? Why are you surprised to see me?" Rainbow asked "You shouldn't stand up... nor walk around," Soarin answered "You think a concussion is going to hinder me?" Rainbow asked "Well actually," Soarin began "Nevermind, Fill me in, Rainbow cut off "Okay, now from the beginning," Big Mac answered "We are going to attack directly like last time, But this time Charlie Alpha and Echo are going right, Foxtrot left and Delta center," Big Mac said "Sounds good but, what is if the Russians got a ambush in the forest?" Rainbow asked "For that we got 3 Battalions down there this time," Big Mac explained "Hmm, could I try once?" Rainbow asked "Sure go ahead" Big Mac asked "Okay, let's see," Rainbow began "Well, first of all what did we got?" Rainbow asked "Right, We got 2 regiments of armored units, a Company artillery with MLRS and Self-Propelled-artillery, a battalion light vehicles and 2 battalions mobile infantry, and 3 companies Heavy-Attack choppers, and Air force support," Big Mac answered "Okay...," Rainbow said and began to think "Okay I got an idea," Rainbow said "First thing is a Napalm attack on the forest, then Heavy armor and Infantry direct attack, Medium and Light armor though the forest and surprise attack from right, the Choppers fly up the Mountains and attack from the Left side, The MLRS are going to destroy the buildings and then we push them back," Rainbow suggested Everypony was stunned, and no pony replied until Soarin finally broke the silence "That's a very good plan Dash," Soarin answered "Thanks," Rainbow replied happily "Well, who leads what...?" Big Mac began "Same as always, With one exeption: I take Yankee-Five," Rainbow cut off "Okay and what company has what?" Big Mac asked "Right...," Rainbow replied and began to think again "Ehmm... Alpha and Charlie: take half and half of the Heavy and infantry, Delta: Medium armor, Echo: Light armor, Echo: Attack choppers, And Yankee-Five: MLRS and Self-Propelled-artillery," Rainbow answered "Okay, Understood," Big Mac answered "Rainbow I need word with you under for eyes," Soarin said "So, What is it?" Rainbow asked "Dashie, I told the doc that I would look after you," Soarin answered "Okay, that changes the plan...," Rainbow replied "Okay guys, Plan change: The Commander takes Charlie and Soarin takes Sierra with a couple of Medium tanks," Rainbow said "Yes Ma'am, *Salute*," Everypony replied "See, Done," Rainbow said to Soarin "I'm impressed," Soarin replied "What do you mean?" Rainbow asked "Having a Severe concussion and putting up a plan like this," Soarin answered "It's nothing, Oh and Soarin I need to give you something back," Rainbow replied "Yea and wha?" Soarin got cut of as Rainbow kissed him on the cheek "What was that for?" Soarin asked but didn't move an inch "Think I don't know you kissed me, Right before I blacked out?" Rainbow answered "Right...," Soarin replied getting a little bit red "Anyway, I need to get back," Rainbow said "Okay...," Soarin relied half dreaming
