Chapter 10:Emerging problems and a What could go wrong? Part 1

Quickly the tank sped forward, “We’re about to breach the forest commander!” Called out the young drake, his name was Sergeant Bishop. His story was that he was a underpaid security officer for years before joining into the army when the war began. He had been designated to the divisional guard, a small force of roaming troops who assisted all military groups in transportation of military goods and supplies. He had gotten placed into the tank division after his group had been called on to assist in the reinforcement of the once great city.

His life has been simple, go to a location, stand guard, and leave. He had been doing such a thing for ages, his eye had been trained well and he was known for his fast and unmatched reflexes when it came to combat. He had decided he to ‘borrow’ one of the M1014 shotguns from the truck, and enough shells to make some noise, and was carefully checking it as they slowly neared the edge of the forest.

“Alright ladies and gents! We got ourselves a problem! We are about to enter the town of Ponyville, the local population is to be considered civilian. The guard population is low, around 4 guards, 2 of which are with us, and 1 is...deceased.” The Lieutenant added with a ting of pity. Bishop sighed as he sat up, he had heard of the fate that befell the poor stallion and found that he could only barely pity the stallion. It was one thing to take guards to go investigate, but to do such a stupid thing in such poor weather? It was foolish...not that bishop would say that out loud.

“Scouts! Move it!” Immediately two figures hurried up to the front, one of which was the griffin lady, who’s name escaped his grasp at the moment, then the winged stallion. Bishop growled but did nothing else, he didn’t trust the two bandits whatsoever. I mean how could the commander do such a foolish act as trust!Upon men who tried to steal from them no less!

*FWOPSH*

And like that they were gone, up in the air of the trees as they flew high, moving quickly they jumped onto a patch of clouds and carefully set themselves up. Bishop noticed how the stallion carried a rifle up with him, how the hell did he intend to use it? He had wings, not claws or that freaky magic shit!

*Cracklle* “This is squad one, ready to halt any trouble makers in their tracks if anything happens, over.” The unmistakable voice of the griffin female stared through the radios of the tank and vest of the commander.

“Copy, remember, those rubber rounds are NON-LETHAL! Doesn’t mean they can’t kill if you hit someone in the wrong place, so remember, backs, chests, and if armored, helmets are alright, limbs are A-okay on all targets if needed, over.” Quickly ran through the radios static.

“Roger, and good luck to you all!” The voice answered back.

“May you all make it out safely.” Answered another voice through the radio, the griffins voice responded, which quickly Bishop remembered to be Mia. He wondered how she was fairing with all this change...

“Okay, I want everyone by the tank right now, we need to get a few things out of the way, that includes names, because quite frankly I don’t know any of you more than your rank!” The Lieutenant said with a sigh, looking at the group as everyone (including the two guards) moved over to the tank, lugging the gear they brought.

“Alright let’s go! You! Name and rank!” She pointed at the drake, who nodded.

“Sergeant Clay Bishop!” Next was the bat Pegasus stallion who was the groups current medic.

“Private Dawson Fury!” Next the male griffin.

“Thomas Willard!” After him she pointed to the tall dog.

“Corporal Lionel Martins!” He replied gruffly as he looked over to the guard stallion.

“Corporal Dawnsville!” He stated.

“Private Nightshade!” The bat mare coughed out as she leaned against the stallion.

The russian waved, “Corporal Artyom Gostofo”

The changeling mare pointed at herself “Lieutenant Lia Diaz!” She started sharply, looking towards the clouds, “The griffin up there is Corporal Mia Delano”

“Oh sorry!” Cried the changeling as he tumbled off the tank he had somehow managed to get on without anybody noticing. “Ow...Private Martinez “Clank” Sofire reporting!” He said with a confused salute.

“Also the other guy is James Quartz, we have nicknames, but we’ll tell ya later!” Said the griffin.

“Alright, now that’s everyone’s proper, we need a plan! We have two guards with us” she gestured to the two who sat by the tank, “we could use them as leverage is something happens.” She state’s with a hum of thought. Both guards didn’t look to happy with the idea, but considered there positions, they weren’t in any position to try and make demands.

“Neit! This situation should be carefully analyzed! I say we send a few of us in to scope out the situation, then make out move.” Stated the your russian, looking around at Th group.

“That seems...surprisingly useful.... let’s do it. Who’s going into town?” Asked Lia, looking around the group.

“I’m going!” Said Thomas, his hand raised with a cheery smile on his face, “I’m good with keeping things cool.” He said to explain his overzealous vote.

“I’ll go to, this is a great opportunity to get our lunar friend to the hospital, and it would be best if I was around to make sure she isn’t injured further on our walk down.” Stated Fury, stepping forward and joining Thomas as he checked his supplies, the Lunar guard male followed him with a limp.

“I’ll go as well, we need to understand any language and I’m a translator ma’am.” Said the dog, stepping forward. Everyone looked to him in surprise, none had known they had such a person with them, as the dog had been rather quite.

“Alright, enter town, take that mare to the local hospital, then locate the guards barracks and alert the guard of the situation, tell him to send for his superiors, and to meet us at the forests edge.” The mare stated, looking around, “The rest of you need to setup a defensive position in case things go south!” Low stated loudly, looking around.

Quickly everyone sorted out, the 3 soldiers and mare moved over to the truck to take what they needed. Quickly they grabbed what they needed, and in a effort to look less aggressive, they had decided to bring only there secondary’s, and they were all loaded with rubber rounds, at least the first mags were, the rest were live.

“Alright, I’m taking lead of this op, have we arrive, we do as instructed, if something happens, we fall back to the forest, leave the guard if it’s a situation involving the ponies, in any other situation take her with you.” Explained the diamond dog, his eyes were carefully shifting across his teammates, they were a light orange, and glowed like fire.

“Roger!” Replied the rest of the small squad, loading there mags, checking everything over, before they turned and approached the forests edge.

“operation Olive branch is a go!” Stayed the medic, who got a look of surprise from the lunar guard, and a smirk from the griffin.

“Good name, let’s hope it sticks!” He did bad they moved, there steps were quick, the guard helped moved the mare along, the diamond dog mumbled to himself softly. Buts and pieces of a song were what left his mouth.

“Save me a place....at the lords table...for I shall be along...someday or another...” he sung softly as he checked his pistol over, humming the rest in a calm and silky voice. It almost seemed to stun the world around him at his extreme softness, his opposing figure was almost a after thought to others.

As the group moved down the slope in Ponyville, another being was trying to figure out a way to dig himself out of a very bad situation.
—————————————————————

“Sister! Are you alright!?” Asked the unknown mare, her dark blue fur coat and somewhat shorter stature didn’t seem imposing. Jay was not a fool, and instead of ignoring her appearance, had grabbed the guard closest to him. Said stallion was the strange hole filled one, and had placed the grey barrel under his throat, pointing upwards towards his head.

“Hey! How about you stop shouting and lay on the ground, all four... hooves? Yea hooves on the ground!” He said angrily and pulled back the hammer, waiting.

The more imposing white mare had calmed down and watched the dragon with careful eyes, her stare was piercing, and yet the dragon didn’t seem to care. His glare back almost unnerved Celestia in a odd way. His eyes were pure green, the color of emeralds glowing softly in a dark cave.

“Please put down that guard, and let’s talk... that is what you wish to do, no?” Celestia offered calmly, her eyes now looked to the changeling that was held tightly in his grip. She was intrigued heavily, perhaps even slightly amazed that a changeling had been able to replicate a stallion like Idol Hooves! He looked JUST LIKE A CHANGELING! How she had never made the connection amazed her, and embarrassed her sl

“Yes... but the issue is that my appearance is not looking to good right now...” he hummed as he looked around, there were so far three guards on this room were down and out, carry the six.... there were a lot of guards asleep right now.

“Well then perhaps letting that pony go will allow me to maybe forget your current transgressions?” She offered calmly, and watched him, a staring match for the ages, lasting several minutes, before finally he sighed, lowering the weapon, he backed up, and dropped the changeling. His gun still famines carefully aimed downwards, but could be moved to take aim at a seconds notice.

“So...I want to ask a few questions, but I fear this is not a place to ask such questions, how about a more private place?” Asked Celestia, her eyes scanned over his figure as he carefully stood up, giving him another few inches of height, as well as the coat and knife her carried, another unknown weapon was sling over his shoulder.

“I would agree, but I trust you quite little to be honest...” he hummed as he walked back to the window, “How bout we try a different tactic?” He asked with a low and calmed tone, his wings seemed to unfurl, and Luna readied herself.

“And do tell, what game would that be?” Asked Celestia, her horn was flowing softly as the window behind the dragon seemed to shimmer, she had set a barrier up to stop him.

“I call it 21 questions, interested?” He asked as he relaxed, and laughed at the two stunned and confused mares that stared after him, “Ih I’m just kidding, it’s hide and seek!” And he jumped backwards, slamming against the barrier, and with a CRASSH! He was gone, somewhere among the courtyard.

“Sister...now this is not a good sign but...there’s more of....him... somewhere...also what should we do with...?” She motioned to the changeling who seemed to bow before them, he was still in his guard armor, and waiting patiently to be dealt with.

“I-I uhh...what’s your name?” She asked the changeling, looking for tired to eat with him.

“Corporal Idol hooves your majesty!” He said without pause and saluted.

“Oh mother of...” mumbled Luna as she envelopes the door and pulled it open, the two unconscious guards that lay next to the door ignored as she looked Into the hallway, noting the squad of guards that had formed up and were preparing to breech the door, “GUARDS! Please take...Idol hooves” she gestured to the changeling, who waved, “PLEASE put him...put him in a guest room...” she groaned as they blinked and nodded, taking him and leading him off, ignoring his whines that she should put him in the dungeon, “And the rest of you put the castle on full alert!”

She growled, watching them quickly salute and run off to follow her orders, a medic quickly arrived and came to check the guards, and by then, they had heard reports of at least a dozen unconscious guards, along with that, Captain Black blade had woken up, groaning in tired pain. “I-I...uhh...” *THUMP* aaannndd she was down and out once more.

“Why do I even bother putting security in place...if it doesn’t work!” She yelled out in a tired and annoyed voice.

Quickly Thomas moved up behind a wood building, peering around the corner, he held his paw up. He examined the barely lit up streets, the snowstorms intensity had considerably slowed. His best guess was that the storm had something to do with the forests unknown magic as the journal had said.

“All clear, let’s move!” He whispered behind him, walking out into the street, the group hugged the wall, avoiding any lamps that were lit, and watching for any other ponies.

“Where is the local clinic at?” Whispered the doctor to the lunar guard, who was also keeping a watchful eye out.

“Straight ahead, another right, then you’ll be in front of Ponyville general.” She whispered softly, she was still grateful for the help they were giving her, and didn’t want to cause them any trouble. She knew Dawnsville would not come to harm under her saviors protection.

“Ok!” He whispered and peered forward, whispering the directions up to the diamond dog, who followed suit, relaying the instructions to the griffin, who simply nodded.

“HEY!” Quickly everyone’s head snapped over to the street, and out of the shadows a mare flew over, she had a rainbow colored main and tail, her fur was blue, and a mark of a lightning bolt striking a cloud was evident among the darkness. She looked at the strange group, gazing them over in confusion, eventually the guard was noticed, and the unknown mare tilted he’d head in confusion. “What are you guys doing?” She asked in a somewhat confused tone of voice.

“U-uhh- w-were on a secret mission!” Thomas quickly stuttered our, standing up straight and dusting himself off, giving the mare a shushing motion.

“Uh...what?” She asked in a much more confused tone, not fully understanding what he meant.

“We’re training, keep quiet, we’re doing a escort mission!” The diamond dog added, he was sweating bullets as he looked at her.

“Y-yes miss Rainbow dash! These are my new recruits!” Nightshade spoke up hurriedly, looking at the mare, standing up with a bit of slightly unnoticed help of the stallion medic.

“Oh!” She said, excitedly looking around, “So are you guys spy’s?!” She asked with a peaked interest.

“Uh...yes” said the griffin, little did he know, with those words, murphy himself had his interest peaked, and things became complicated...

...You ARE aware that this will turn people off from reading this story, right?

I am, and while I may suffer in that area, I will have to improve in others, because I don’t seek to ‘Go with the flow’, no I seek to glide in my own stream, and to enjoy my success where I receive it, rather then break under the nerves of others. Personally, I don’t care much for those who speak negatively, I care for those who speak thoughtfully, those who point out errors, and allow me to continue, rather than those who whine, and complain because I don’t bend to their tastes.
