“Yo Sir!” Mech shouted over the sound of the engines of the V-tol.
“What is it!?” Quann yelled
“You will want to come up and see this!” He replied
“ok on the way” Quann said as he got up and walked up cockpit of the Gunship leaned over Mechs seat and looked threw the strength spell enhanced and black one way Plexiglas windshield and what he saw really shocked him.
“Woah..” Was all Quann could say when he saw the enormous shield slowly surround around Canterlot. But then it hit him at the rate they were moving they wouldn’t make it before the shield was finished raising.
“Mech.” Quann said
“Yes sir?”
“Punch it. I want us in there before that shield is raised. We’ll drop in so that you will be abel to move faster” Quann ordered
“Yes sir. You might want to get ready and tell the others sir.”
“right.” Quann said quickly moving back to his seat but had a flash back.
15 years ago above cuba
“ok listen up gentleman” Quann said to four other soldiers in Nano suits as they reached the drop zone.
“Intel reports a significant military presence on the island. We have the element of surprise, so let’s use it. The Cubans can’t know we are here.” He said.
“They won’t even know what hitem. Hehe.” One of the other soldiers said.
“Can it Twilight! This is a covert operation. Our job it to go in get the data and get out. We aren’t at war here.” Quann said to him.
“Not yet. Boss.” A different soldier commented.
“And let’s keep it that way Mongol.”
“Hay Zulu do we even know if that data is still there?” the third soldier said
“That’s what we are here to find out. Boxer.” Quann said
“Hay if anyone is going to kill these ‘evolved’ assholes its gana be me” Boxer said bumping twilight's gun with his
“You might just get your chance Boxer.” Quann said to the last soldier
“Alicorn team we are beginning approach... stand by for green.” Came over the intercom of the aircraft as the back opened up.
“All right gear up masks on.” Quann said as he pulled down his visor and put on his rebreathe mask.
“Once we clear the plain form up on me. shoots on my mark.” Quann said before they all jumbled out of the plain and the flashback ended.
Flash back end.
“one botched mission.” Quann said before looking up and shaking his head.
“not this team. Not everyone not this time.” he said
‘I could really use that suit now.’ Quann thought before standing up.
“Alright ponies Weapons at the ready!” Quann ordered taking his weapons from there racks and strapped Jack to his chest
“Sir?” Cooper asked
“We are dropping in to Canterlot. Because the Gunship won’t make it there it is too heavy so we are lightening the load and jogging to the castle. So everypony grab your gear and store your fear. Hooah” Quann said putting on a parachute.
“Hooah” They all replied as they all strapped on their weapons and put on their chutes even Cooper, Heart Stop, and Gunfodder who were Pegasus strapped on their parachutes. And when they were all done they all stood up and shuffled to the back door.
“Ok engaging afterburner in 3…2…1 mark” Mech counted down and when he finished he pushed the throttle to the red and the V-tol gunship burst through the air at top speed.
“Reaching drop-zone in five” Mech said over the radio and opened the back hatch.
“Ok 5… 4…3…2…1” Mech said
“GO, GO, GO!” Quann shouted as they all ran and jumped out with him last. When they were all together they angled there decent for a decent sized clearing in the city.
Canterlot we find Celestia Shining armor, and Ultra Magnus the captain of the Lunar guard finish addressing the last of the guards that had just teleported to Canterlot, and the Wonder bolts.
“Any questions?” Shining armor asked.
“What’s so special about this Blackwatch any way sir?” Spitfire asked.
“Well for one they are the first group that isn’t separated depending on the kind of pony they are.” Shining armor said
“well if that’s the case then why are they called air born. If they aren’t all pegasai” Soran said
“Something coming toward the Shield look!” a random wonderbolt said pointing toward the sky.
They all looked where the pony was pointing and saw a large grey object flying toward the castle. And then they saw some little things fall out of whatever it was. Big Shape then got past the shield followed by the 10 smaller things. Ultra Magnus took out a telescope and looked to see what the small things were.
“By Celestia those are ponies!” He Shouted
As the air ship roared overhead and landed in a nearby clearing rotating its engines and used them as breaks. And they could see a symbol that all but two of them had never seen before on its side. And when they looked back they could see strange mushroom shaped things slowing the ten ponies fall until they were out of sight. They heard a bang form the air ship and turned to see the armored door open up and they saw a heavily armored unicorn with something strapped to his left hind leg step out of the craft and they could see he had the same symbol on his chest. They saw him levitate some weird kind of crossbow, and something else that they have never seen before and sit on the edge of the craft goggles ever glowing.
“Alright people unhook and fall in” Quann said as they all got up and unhooked there parachutes and felling line for some it was essayer but for others like Cowboy and Cooper who got stuck in a tree. Quann walked up to them with Jack by his side.
“Jack Cut them down. Boy.” He said. And the brawler ran up the tree and cut them down with his tail causing the two to fall on their faces. Quann pulled down his hood to rest on his armored collar.
“Alright ponies let’s move!” Quann said
“Yes sir” they responded. As Quann turned ad started trotting behind him as he started a Cadence.
“Oh once there were ten-thousand green barrettes!” Quann shouted
“Oh once there were ten-thousand green barrettes.” They repeated
“Trapped in a valley by the N.B.A!”
“Trapped in a valley by the N.B.A.”
“The president he knew just what to do!”
“The president he knew just what to do.”
“He called on me and he called on you!”
“He called on me and he called on you.”
They continued But back at the Castel entrance things were starting to get weird as more and more of the lunar, royal guard, and wonder bolts got curious as to what this new stallion was doing here.
Mech looked up from his spot on the side door to the gunship. And they saw him reach into one of his pouches and pouches and pull out a small square rock with his right hoof and brought up his left for hoof up and started sharpening his arm Bayonet.
‘shink…..shink’
That really put them all on edge seeing the obvious weapon so close to the princess. But then then they heard what sounded like chanting starting with silver wings.
And as soon as they herd that they saw Mech stand up put his sharpening stone away and close the door to the gunship finally letting them get a good look at the symbol and there were the words that shocked all but Celestia who had seen the air ship before, and shining armor who knew the armor. The words said Blackwatch and under the star it said Air-born Rangers.
“But if I die on that old drop zone!” Quann said as he and the others reached the back of the group and made their way towards the front.
“But if I die on that old drop zone.”
“Box me up and ship me home!”
“Box me up and ship me home.”
Quann stoped as he got to the front of the group. And he and the other Blackwatch troopers saluted.
“Ma’am Blackwatch reporting as ordered. Priority alpha.” Cooper said.
“Yes it is good to see you. But I must ask Prince raptor was that entrance necessary?” Celestia asked Quann.
“Yes it was auntie you see our air ship wouldn’t have made it through the shield. With us inside it would have been too heavy to make it into the shield in time” Quann said
“Well I can sure see why you are all dressed like you are going to war. Now come with me we have much to discuss.” Celestia said smiling to her battle hardened nephew who nodded in acknowledgement. And Quann walked into the castle. Causing most of the other guards to wander off.
“What is it Auntie why are we really here? Why was this priority alpha?” Quann asked
“I need to know now I won’t lose another team to bad Intel.” He added
“What do you mean a another team?” Celestia asked curiously
“not know alright ill tell you later ok” he answered
“its alright Raptor.” She said
“Any way why are we here?” he askes
“we have been getting reports of suspicious activity near the entrance to the abandoned crystal mine. So I want your team to go and check it out.” She replied.
“Any idea what it is?” Quann asked
“We believe it to be a group of diamond dogs that might have taken up residence in the mine.” She replied
“let me guess. You want us to go check it out?” Quann asked sarcastically
“yes I do.”
“Consider it done. When should we begin the operation?” quann responded.
“When the elements arrive. And that will be Some time tomorrow. In the meantime why don’t you spend some time with Cadence I’m sure she would be happy to see you. Now I have preparations to attend to.” She said with a smile.
Quann nodded and lowered his gas-mask and goggles and walked back outside.
Quann stepped outside and saw his guards answering all kinds of questions from the left over guards and the wonderbolts. But when cooper saw him he saluted followed by everypone else.
“Alright what’s the hell is going on here?” he asked
“They were just asking us some questions.” Cooper answered.
“Alright let’s hear them”
Else ware
“My queen.”
“What is it.”
“the new prince that princess cadence mentioned has arrived.”
“Good. And I can already sense the mixed feelings in him.”
“What do you mean?”
“He seeks power. But wants to protect his loved ones.”
“Then when do we capture him my queen?” the changling asked with a bow
“Tomorrow when they are checking the mine and there we will capture the new prince. And then Equestria will Fall!” Chrysalis said laughing.
