I slowly started to register what was happening. I could not hear anything or see, but I assumed I was dead. I tried to move my arms, they moved just fine. I next tried the fingers. My fingers didn't respond. I opened my eyes slowly, my arms were covered in black hair. I was still wearing my vest, but it was shredded by bullets and shrapnel. I looked at my hands ant they weren't there, only hoof-like ends to my arms. I looked around and saw a figure with a gun searching the ground. I looked around the ground and noticed there were dead and dying horses and zebras all around me. I took a closer look at the figure approaching me, he was a horse! I tried to get up but I felt a tearing in my legs as I tried to move them. 'Broken.' I thought. It then hit me, if the figure was a horse holding a gun and wearing a ballistic vest, then maybe I was a horse. It would explain the hair and hoof hands. I decided to assume I was a horse until told otherwise. I then noticed a puddle of blood coming from my rear legs. 'Definitely broken' I thought. Then I started feeling lightheaded and dizzy. The figure stood above me and asked "Are you alive soldier?". "Help...me." I was able to rasp, before passing out due to blood loss.
I woke up again in a hospital ward. I looked over myself, I was definitely a horse. I had the bent back rear legs and an all hair tail. My legs were no longer broken, so there was an upside. "How long have I been out?" I asked to no one in particular.
"About seventeen hours, buddy." replied a very familiar voice.
"Sir, is that you?" I asked, not looking at the source of the voice.
"Yup. It's me." He said.
"Well Frost, it's been a long time." I said looking at the captain. He was a dark blue horse, but he had wings.
"It sure has Eagle." he said, "Almost too long."
"One question, why is everyone a horse?"
"You are in Equestria now Eagle, this is basically the land of ponies."
"Well, that's news, but I've heard weirder."
"Well let me explain the situation to you since you are here now." he said.
One Long Explanation later...
"So I am a normal hor... I mean pony?" I asked, just to be clear.
"Yes you are, so are you going to fight with me again?"
"Hell yeah, sir."
"Hey, it's Frost here. Come with me we'll get you some gear."...
Frost's POV
Today was great. I got to see my best friend, and he will be fighting in my unit again. He met the team, and they seemed to like him, especially Applejack. I think she likes him. Well we are going tho get some sleep, tomorrow we are going on a raid.
The next morning...
We loaded into the chopper, all of us were carrying light recon packs filled with ammo. Yesterday, Eagle got a SCAR-H from the armory. He liked the heavier barrel and round. We took off at 02:30, we were flying to the enemy camp to kill some of the supervising griffons and secure some HVTs, and grab some vital intel to send to Canterlot. We were circling the camp, getting in to position to drop the ropes over the parade yard. We dropped into the 'hot zone' and waved off the chopper. I immediately waved my team up against the back of the nearest tent. I drew my knife and cut out an entrance. Then, Gatling pulled out his MP5 and shot the sleeping zebras. We proceeded to the camp roads and ran across. I spotted the flag on top of the command tent about a half a klick from our position. "Guys stay behind the tents and find a shadow to hide in, I've got a plan." I said to the team. They did as they were told. I then pulled out a flare and lit three of the eastern tents ablaze. The fire attracted a lot of attention, zebras were rushing to the fire, not noticing us slip past them. We approached the entrance to the command tent when Eagle stopped me and said, "Hold up, I got this one." he stepped inside and we heard a couple of suppressed gunshots and a scream, which was drowned out by the commotion going on in the east. I walked inside to an absolutely beautiful sight. There were brains on the table, a griffon slumped over on the table, a few guards that had their chest cavities blown away, pieces of their organs scattered around the entrance and Eagle, standing over the leader's body. He tore his heart out of his chest with a knife. I looked at him and smiled slightly. "What? I haven't killed anyone in almost a month." he said.
"Have fun?" I asked, heading over to the commander's desk.
"Fuck yeah that was fun!" he shouted.
I went through the desk and found what I needed, deployment priority maps.
"Alright, Dash, burn this place down. Eagle you go signal the chopper at the LZ with AJ. Gatling, you and Twi are coming wit me. We still have a prisoner to rescue." they all nodded and went to do said assignments.
We approached the cage where the HVT was located. I walked up to it and cut the lock. The prisoner woke up and looked at us. "Thank you, Commander. I thought I was fucked!" the prisoner said, "Twilight, are y'all all here?"
"Yes Midnight, we're all here." she said.
"Here's a gun. We've got to go, now." I said.
"Right behind you." Jaze said.
We all ran to the LZ as Rainbow Dash had just detonated a large thermite charge, sending glowing pieces of molten iron flying through the night sky. The camp started burning to the ground, the fire spreading quickly. We sprinted for the LZ, trying to avoid getting caught in the blaze. We saw the chopper in the clearing ahead when I heard a scream from behind me. "AH! I'm hit!"
The yell came from Gatling. I toned around and put him on my shoulders. That's when I noticed the zebra crowd behind me. I ran as fast as I could for the chopper. I jumped aboard and set Gatling in the door gun seat. He was shot in the leg, so he could operate the minigun. The chopper started to lift off the ground as Gatling tore the damn bastards apart, limb from limb. This was an almost perfect mission, except for Gatling getting hit. What a wonderful morning...
