"Stand down Will, it's over!" screamed Frost at his brother while pointing his rifle at him in the ruins of Augustgrad, he could still see Dominion troops and Daelaam Protoss finishing the members of Moebius Corps that are still fighting.
"The voice's demands are clear, the Keystone must remain ours" Will replied with no emotion in his voice while raising his Gauss Rifle at Frost.
"Drop it!" Frost said with his usual bored voice "Make a move and you're dead!"he continued while aiming for Will's chest.
Will was about to pull the trigger when a bullet pierced his chest and destroyed his heart. He fell on his back and remained motionless, Frost stood like a statue for a few moments before approaching his brother's lifeless body. He knelt down to collect his dog tags while saying to himself: "I'll scour the entire galaxy until i'll find you Amon and when I do, you'll wish that the Queen of Blades got to you first".

Agent Frost snapped out of his daydreaming when one of his comrades was trying to get his attention :
"Captain Sleeping Beauty, wake up!" yelled a Marauder at him while waving his grenade launchers in his face.
"Cut it out Cranston!" a female medic in a white power suit lashed at the marauder.
"Come on, I was just messing around Lisa, besides, we all know you're banging him" Cranston left out a few giggles before the medic screamed:
"In his dreams, I'm married!" a silence settled for almost a minute before the entire crew exploded in a barrel of laughter except Frost.
"Nice one Lisa, I bet that Colt, Collins and Billy have the same dream!" a Reaper said pointing at three Marines that knew he was joking, then he gestured at the only firebat "And I think that Wabowski is getting a little fired up."
"Well, what about you Staton?" The firebat asked the Reaper.
"The life of the Reaper Man is always intense!" he replied getting a few laughs from everybody, even a few giggles from Frost.
At that time a two-way communicator activated revealing Admiral Horner:
"Agent Frost!" he called for the attention of the ghost that stood up and the rest of his team quieted down.
"Yes sir!" he responded while saluting.
"I called you to wish you and your team good luck in the events ahead." he said while looking at every soldier in the Dropship.
"We are proud to serve the Dominion, sir!" Agent Frost said in his usual voice "We will fight till the very end."
"I know you will, Hyperion out!" Horner said before his hologram disappeared.

Frost's Dropship had cought up with three Warp Prisms and a few Drop-pods while the void energies started attacking the intruders. Frost's comrades were now silent, preparing for whatever fate awaited them in this forsaken realm. Frost stood up and moved in the middle of the Dropship so that everyone could see him:
"You all look like you're on death's door!" he said loudly having the attention of everybody,even the pilot "We've defied death so many times, don't you remember when we were deployed on Char, Tarsonis, Aiur and even Korhal, trust me, if we were meant to die, it would have taken us during one of those missions" he finished making way to the pilot while Cranston let out a "Believe it!" reigniting the confidence of his comrades.
"Sir?" the pilot asked.
"Peter, how long to the LZ?" Frost asked in return.
"Honestly, I don't know, we are just following those Protoss Warp Prisms." he answered pointing at the robotic transports "Command said that they found a way to land in this god-forgotten dimension." Peter finished when some lights started blinking "Incoming transmission sir!" he said surprised.
"Patch it through." Frost ordered, the image of a Protoss Adept appeared.
"En taro Tassadar Captain, I am Praetor Nalis and I contact you to inform you that our sensors have picked up some disturbances ahead, we suggest you brace yourselves." she finished with her echoing voice.
"En taro Tassadar Nalis, I thank you for this information, but what about the Zerg? " Frost asked.
"It appears that the Zerg here are led by a broodmother named Niagra, I have already contacted her. "she finished" Ending transmission."
"Good to know, Frost out " he said while closing the channel. " You heard her Peter, try not to kill us" he told the pilot in a frightening voice while returning to his team: " The Protoss say they detected some <disturbances> ahead, hold on to something" he announced to his teammates, then sat down in his seat and prepared for a few shakes.
At first the turbulences were almost ignored, but then they got stronger and stronger until the alarms started ringing, Frost and his team heard Peter yell "Brace for impact!" when they heard him everybody quickly prepared their gear: Cranston loaded his Concussive Shells, Colt, Collings and Billy equipped their combat shields, Lisa installed her Stabilizer Med-packs, Wabowski fueled his Incinerator Gauntlets, Staton prepared his combat drugs and Frost checked his Ocular Implants and loaded his gun, everybody were given a few Stimpacks to be used in dire situations.
From where Frost sat he could see that his team were not the only ones in trouble, even the Zerg and Protoss were having difficulties keeping their transports stable, but he could also see some kind of vortex that was sucking all three races in with no chance of escaping it, before they entered it Frost giggled a bit and whispered to himself "Ghost reporting, the irony."
Frost was surprised to see that the darkness of the void was replaced by a sunny sky which he put together that they were teleported inside a planet's atmosphere. Even though they escaped the void, they couldn't retake control of their craft, and neither could the Protoss nor the Zerg. Frost realized that all transports were going to crash in a that first started as a dot on the ground that grew to be one of the biggest forests Frost had ever seen, but that meant that the impact was going to be even harder than he anticipated. From a few miles above the ground he saw the Zerg Drop-pods almost making front-flips and the Warp Prisms were making perfect circles. Right before the impact he could see them crash then everything went black for him.

Princess Twilight Sparkle was busy organizing the visit of not only Princess Celestia, but of Luna and Cadence. Twilight was determined to organize the most perfect formal visit in the history of Equestria "This is going the best event of all time" she thought while looking at her check list "And this has to be it." she said to herself after she ticked the final step on the list.
"Hey Twilight!" she heard her friend Rainbow Dash yell at her from a table alongside her friends "Get over here!"
"Hello girls, are you excited as I am about this visit?" she asked,
"Oh well, we know how important this must be to you, but do be careful not to exhaust yourself." Rarity answered.
"I agree wit' Rarity Twi, you wouldn't want to fall asleep while making your way to the stage" Applejack replied letting out a few giggles followed by everypony at the table.
"I'm flattered girls, but you don't have to worry about me because I'm not even winded." she finished just before trumpets were heard "The're here, everypony places!" she told while amplifying her voice with magic and a little panic.
"Don't panic Twilight, just remember that you are also a princess." Fluttershy told her before flying away.
"Announcing the arrival of Princesses Celestia and Luna of Equestria and Princess Cadence of the Crystal Empire!" a guard pony announced before the royalty arrived in the order of how the guard announced. All the ponies of Ponyville knelt with the exception of Twilight that joined her fellow princesses on a stage in the town centre.
"Everypony, I hereby declare this event open!" Twilight announced before all the denizens of Ponyville started cheering.
After they settled down, a mare screamed "What is that in the sky?" pointing at some kind of meteors falling. Everypony looked shocked and stood petrified at the sight, even the princesses were no different, only until the objects crashed they could regain control of their bodies. Twilight was the first to speak:
"Oh no! Those things have crashed in the Everfree Forest, we must make sure that every living being is unharmed. Princesses, do you mind staying here calming everypony?" she asked with panic in her eyes.
"We don't mind Twilight, you and the Elements of Harmony must find out what is happening there and make sure nopony is hurt." Celestia replied with her calm voice.
Twilight and her friends began galloping to the Everfree Forest with determination in their eyes to stop anything that might cause destruction.
