//------------------------------// // Overlord....Overlord, Where are we? // Story: Ghost Recon Future Soldier: Equestrian Mission // by Kozak //------------------------------// Ch.1 "Overlord this is Ghost Lead we have visual on the target." "Ghost Lead this is Overlord you are a go to take out the target." "Ghost Lead copies." "Kozak you are good to take the shot." "Copy that, sir." Kozak then looked down the scope of his MSR. Scanning the compounds area once more and he picked up where his target was. The final member of Raven's Rock was located by a gaurd house on the far end of the compound and it looked like the man was having a friendly conversation with the gaurd there. 'Too bad I'm gonna cut their friendly chat short,' thought Kozak. He slowed his heart rate down so any of the minute movement made by his heart so he could fire between heartbeats for the most accurate shot. He squeezed the trigger and the familiar crack of a rifle echoed through the valley, but before any sound was heard the bullet from the sniper rifle entered the man's head from the fatal T on the back of his head so the man was dead before he even hit the ground. Kozak and the rest of hunter squad got ready to move out. Kozak placed a small explosive on the rifle so it wouldn't be trace back to the American military and start a pointless war with the Indian government. After the charge was ready Kozak prepared his 417 battle rifle with a legnthened barrel, angled foregrip, an aiming laser, and a Tac scope and then he prepared his secondary weapon which was a L22A2 PDW or PDC with a foregrip, a suppressor, and a holomag sight. When Kozak was ready he nodded to Ghost Lead and they moved from their position to their extraction point which would take them through a small cave and there would be minimal resistance to the extraction point. Moving to the extraction point intel was correct they just had to take a few patrols on the lookout for the assassins that killed the last leading member of Raven's Rock but other than that there were no problems. After moving two clicks from the O.P. the reached the cave that was only half a click long. "Ok Kozak your on point eventhough minimal resistance was expected there could be an ambush in place here so report anything out of the ordinary." "Yes, sir." After reciving his orders Kozak moved to the front of the group keeping a lookout for anything that could indicate an ambush, but there was nothing in the cave other than Hunter squad so there wasn't any worries. Kozak was approaching the end of the cave when all of a sudden there was a extremely bright flash of light. "AMBU-" was all he could get out before he and the rest of Hunter squad passed out, but little did they know that the flash was not a flash bang grenade instead it was a certain purple unicorn mare's failed attempt to try and teleport someone from another location to her location. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Okay Spike. If I just can picture you coming to the room I'm in I can teleport you to me and if this works I can make it easier for friends to get to the library faster if something urgent comes up." The small dragon just nodded and went down stairs to let Twilight try this new spell she has come up with. When he reached the bottom of the stairs he yelled back up to Twilight, "OK I'M READY TRY THE SPELL NOW!" After getting the okay from her assistant she began to picture Spike teleporting to her bedroom. Her horn was glowing but nothing was happening she wasn't here the distinctive pop sound of someone teleporting. "TWILIGHT ARE YOU DOING THE SPELL!" "I'M TRYING, BUT IT'S NOT WORKING!" After saying this a large explosion was heard downstairs followed by scream. Upon hearing this Twilight ran as hard as she could downstairs to see a horrified Spike and four strange creatures laying on the ground. Being intellectual that she is Twilight began to study the creatures. They all had clothes on that were a sandy grey and tan color, two wore what looked like helmets that were the same color, one had on a cap that was a tan color, the last one had on a beanie that was tan, they all had on sunglasses with strange blue lights in on of the lens, they all had their faces covered with some sort of wrapping the same tan color, finally she noticed how three of them had a light color to their skin while one of them had a darker colored skin, and all of a sudden the creatures became see through causing Twilight and Spike to jump back. After this happened Twilight remembered that the library was still open, so she decided that she would put the creatures in the basement and when the library closed she would get the girls and talk about what happened and try to get their opinions on what these things are. She enveloped the four figures in her magic and lifted them. The sudden lift made their bodies materialize, making her believe it to be a defense mechanism and she also notice they were all holding strange tools and that they all had another one similar to the ones they were holding on their backs. She made a mental note to study these tools later if the creatures were still unresponsive. She opened the door to the basement walked down and placed the figures on the ground and returned upstairs to the library. Little did she know that the figures had woken up when she picked them up. "Uuuuuuuuuh...Captian did I just see a talkin' horse," asked 30K confused. "Yes, 30. Yes, you did," answered Ghost Lead who was as equally as confused. "Okay. I am going to try and contact Overlord to see if we can get a location," stated Kozak, "Overlord, come in. Overlord, come in. This is Kozak. Do you read me?" All Kozak got was static over the radio. "Kozak have you reached Overlord?" "No, Captain. It seems that comms are down with the main base," Kozak decides to look at his tac-map to see where they are, but he only gets a blank screen, "Sir, I believe we aren't on Earth anymore." The rest of Hunter squad looked at Kozak in shock when made this statement. "Look at your tac-maps if you don't believe me," 30k was the only one to look at his tac-map. "HOLY SHIT, KOZAK'S RIGHT." "30, can it." "Yes, sir." "Pepper, Kozak I want you two to go out and scout the surrounding area and see if these 'talking horses' are hostile or not." Pepper and Kozak both respond, "Yes, sir." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kozak and Pepper exited the basement very carefully and in a crouch so their optical camouflage. They scanned the room for any signs of the talking horse but came up empty so they moved to exit the buuilding when they heard a conversation in the room next to the main foyer that the were currently in. "...elieve that there is a undiscovered species in my basement right NOW!" came the voice they had first heard upon arriving. "Ah know y'all're excited but after yuh described these creatures they seem a might bit dangerous to us." came a voice with an accent similar to 30 when he wasn't paying attention. "Yeah Twi' for all we know these creatures could be some new type of changeling drone trying to get us after we kicked their flanks at Canterlot." came a tomboyish voice immediately after the southern . "And darling from how you described their outfits they seem to be brutish creatures with no sense of fashion." came a posh voice after a small lull in the conversation, when all of a sudden a bubbly sounding voice exclaimed "MAYBE THEY LIKE PARTIES AND mphmphmphm," which was quieted when something was shoved in her mouth. Then Pepper and kozak heard a very quiet and meek sounding voice say, "Maybe they're nice eventhough they sound scary and mean." Deciding they had heard enough of the conversation, they moved to the front exit and recon the surrounding area when they heard one of the worst possibly sounds for a stealth recon mission. The sound of a creaking floor board. The next response was immediate as a cyan blur came towards the two Ghosts, but their honed reflexes caught the blur and put it on the ground and it got a face full of Kozak's rifle. The other 'horses' had come out of the room with shock expressions and a orange 'horse' tried to charge, but the familiar purple one held her back. Upon hearing the commotion Ghost Lead and 30k came out of the basement for support. The purple 'horse' stepped forward after she was sure the orange one wouldn't charge and said, "My name's Twilight Sparkle and we don't want to harm you, but could you rrelease my friend and tell what exactly are you?" Kozak notice that this pony held no hostility towards him so he released the cyan one and said, "We're humans, soldiers or to be more specific, and now can you answer my question. How can horses talk?" "Well Mr. Human we aren't these 'horses' you're calling us, we're ponies," responded Twilight. "Okay. Captain this is just weird," whispered 30k. "I know 30 bu..." Ghost Lead was cut of by a loud bang coming from the door. "Alright Ghosts it looks like we got incoming hostiles!" Hunter squad aimed their weapons at the now broken doorway to come face to face with.........
