	Engineer and Recon Spawned in at the US base. The two stood there looking at the open green landscape of the Equestrian DLC. The players around them were running around, getting into vehicles, and doing other non sense battlefield players do. Aside from the green rolling hills and landscape, the US base was grounded up from a flat concrete. The airfield was north of their position, it had a flat black tarmac and eight aircraft hangers. Currently they had two A-10 thunderbolts and six F-16 fighter jets, each fully customizable to weapons and armaments to color and camouflage schemes. Left to the airfield, was the helicopter pads. Each Helicopter had it's very own grey square, with the iconic yellow H and circle. Currently in stock were two venoms, two little birds, and three viper attack helicopters. 
South of the center of the base is the vehicle depot. Eight M1 Abrams, four Humvees, two quads, six motor bikes, and two mobile artillery vehicles. The just down a small hill with a dirt path, was the waterfront. It lied on an embankment of a huge river that flowed to the center of the map to a huge reservoir lake. The water front included three attack boats, four RHIBs, and three jet skis, it also included it's own pier. 

Engineer looked at Recon, and Recon looked at Engineer.
"This place is awesome!" the two said in unison before a transport chopper flew over head. The helicopter turned ninety degrees, so it's left gun was pointed towards Recon and Engineer. Time seemed to slow down as one of the helicopter's passengers stepped out. The Colonel 100 walked towards the two. All the players who stood in the way left the area running, leaving only Engineer and Recon alone with grizzled battlefield veteran. 
"How are you men?" The Colonel asked in his regular gruff voice. 
"Uh. Good sir." Engineer and Recon said sounding worried.
"That's good. Now the server administrator told all Colonel 100's to be squad leader, so you are now to follow my orders and do what I say, or we will all get banned."
"Great." Engineer said be musingly.
"Now I hope you're aware of what today's game mode is correct?" The Colonel asked with one eye wider than the other, peering at the two.
"Uh, no not for sure sir, we just joined a random server." Recon replied. The Colonel sighed and face palmed.
"Okay. So we're playing a new game type called search and destroy. Teams are supposed to go find the enemy base and destroy it."
"Sounds easy enough." Engineer said taking a step forward, but ran into the Colonel's arm.
"I'm not finished. Half the team goes searching for the base, while the other half stays here and defends the base."
"Okay. So which one are we." Recon asked.
"We're the other half."
"Ugh. This is going to be, so boring!" Engineer said exclaiming his disgust.
"Wait. We're missing two squad mates." 
"Yeah they're just downloading the DLC as we speak sir. They should be here an minute now." said Recon with a worried smile.
"Well I guess we should head down to the water front. You Engineer, grab a Humvee when we pass the vehicle depot and drive it down to the waterfront."
"Yes sir." Engineer said disgrunted.




The Medic and the Noob spawn in together at the US base. The two looked around at the vibrant colors and serene landscape.
"Equestrian DLC! YEEEEAH!!!" shouted the Noob making his excitement known.
"Will you shut up!? I don't need my ears bleeding again from your screaming!" The Medic said clearly annoyed. "Let's just go find Recon and Engineer. Okay?"
"Yeah we can do that. This place is epic!" Noob said keeping his excitement hushed.
"Yeah I know it is buddy." Medic said with a smile.




Two hours passed and nothing happened. The US team had taken all the side objectives and were looking for the RU base by helicopter and by jet. So sat the four friends staring out into the endless green expansion that of Equestria. Soon enough the sound of a helicopter came within earshot. An enemy player in a Z-11w came from over the rise coming straight for them.
"Grenade out!" yelled the Noob. He then proceeded to shoot at the helicopter with his light machine gun.
"Hey I got a stinger on this asshole." Engineer said, as his stinger began beeping and locking on target. He noticed something out of the right corner of his sight. He pulled away staring at awe what was happening. The Colonel swooped down from parachute, landing on the front nose of the helicopter. He pulled out his ACB-90 and growled. The pilot screamed beneath his gas mask, letting go of the controls. The helicopter began to spin out of control making it's deadly descent into the river. The helicopter crashed and the Colonel parachuted back onto the beach.
"Good job sir." The Medic applauded. 
"Well we're not out of the shit storm yet." The Colonel said raising his knife, as two Russian attack helicopters came into view. One of the helicopters came in for the kill, but exploded.
"Sir did you do that?" Recon asked.
"No." The other helicopter exploded as well, but a green laser shot out and destroyed it.
"Recon. I want you to get a MAV up there and check out what's going on." The Colonel demanded.
"Sure thing sir, right away." Recon deployed the MAV and guided it over to the other side of the river. What Recon saw stunned him.
"Sir. There appears to be unicorns, in armor. I think they may be some kind of A.I."
"Well then they're hostile."
"How do you know that sir?" Recon asked with look of concern. 
"Think about it man. Unicorns with magic equals death. Those helicopters were hit by magic which means they met death. So they're hostile son."
"Okay. So what should we do?" Engineer asked.
"Okay, so we take this here attack boat and drive it to the other side. You being the engineer will stay in the boat and provide covering fire. Recon, you will get off the boat and go somewhere off in the distance and provide over watch. The medic, support, and myself included will face these creatures alone. We will then draw them back to the boat, and that's when you shoot them. Okay solider?" Colonel said eyeing each member in the squad.




They all piled into the boat and made their way across to the other side of the river. The Colonel took the Noob and Medic over the hill. The three walked towards the small group of armored ponies. 
"Look! More of the aliens!" Shouted one of the ponies. They all turned their attention to the three players. 
"Grenade out!" Yelled the Noob. The grenade traveled through the air and landed dead center in front of the ponies hoof's. It exploded engulfing them in fire.
"Charge!" Yelled the Noob once more. He took off running at the enemy firing his gun, but missing every shot. The surviving guards shot down the Noob before he even made it halfway between the Colonel and the ponies themselves. 
"Time to head back to the boat." Colonel said running. The medic turned to run but was gunned down before he could take a step. The Colonel ran back towards the boat at lightning speed. Magic whipped by but missed him all together. When the Colonel returned to the boat, Engineer pulled out off the shore and readied himself for the unicorns to come over the rise. But none came. However Recon came over the hill with a shiny pair of dog tags in his hand. He seemed happy.


Your team won!
