As Scott, Paddy, Tony and Daniel materialised in a steaming hot jungle the immediately realised something was wrong.
“Where is the rest of our team?” Daniel commented, concern in his voice.
“Don’t know where they are now,” said paddy crouching to inspect the ground “but they were here recently.”
“And how do you now that,” Scott inquired “if you have noticed our tracer visors don’t appear to be around at the present.”
Paddy simply pointed to the heavy boot prints on the ground before wandering of in the direction they appeared to lead.
“I saw that,” Scott quickly mumbled before following the rest of the group along the trail.

After about five minutes the four man team ditched their armour. It was simply to hot keep wearing and all four were soaked with sweat. As they were removing their plate mail the announcer began to speak, its robotic mono tone growing more excited with each sentence.
“Enemy double kill.”
“Enemy triple kill.”
"Enemy is dominating.”


Shining armour lay down his spear as his troop recovered from the skirmish.
It had not taken long to bring down the opposition once they had located them.
Why the creatures had practically stumbled into them for Celestia's sake.

The enemy appear to be strange bipedal creature that looked much like diamond dogs but slightly taller and with no fur.
Luna had been right, this exercise had really improved the team’s cooperation and they had managed to kill three of the creatures with only one escaping into the undergrowth.

The only thing that concerned Shining was the weird voice announcing their kills to the world.

After giving this a moment of thought he shrugged it off as a minor inconvenience; then ordered his troops to carry the one injured unicorn in their combat stretcher before continuing towards their way out.
