|SPARKLE BASE|BRAVO TEAM|0700 HOURS|01/07/2025|

The five new recruits sit in a completely empty room, apart from the tables and chairs there is nothing else but the steel wall, the door and a few large windows giving a good view of the base, it looks both dry and packed.

For some reason this base is out in the badlands right on the border, everypony outside is rushing around, some carry crates, others are fixing things like generators and jeeps.

For one reason or another you've all been transferred to this unit, the only thing that you all have in common is your ability to get the job done.

And now your stuck waiting in a room until ether the base commander turns up or your Team leader shows up.

You have not been briefed on this assignment that you are about to ship out for, hell you don't know who runs this operation.

So you just sit here and wait until your Team leader arrives, might as well talk to the others for a bit, maybe holster you weapons so you don't give off the wrong impression.

(OOC: the story shall move forth once you've interacted for a bit.)

Specter was doing a field strip on his Desert Eagle. He laid out all the pieces out and used a rag to clean each piece, before putting it back together again. He holstered it and leaned back in his chair, Specter pulled a picture out of a pocket in his Kevlar vest. The picture was of his now deceased Wife and Son. Specter took off his boonie cap and set it down on the table.

Sitting at the table, his feet up on the table he starts loading a belt for his gun. Checking the firing mechanism, he looks around seeing.the rest of his squad. Setting the gun down on the table, he looks around, and asks, "Alright, whatvdoes everyone know?"

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

"Nothing. I know nothing" Mambra replied. He sent his gun in a corner and pulled out the only bottle of beer he had left and drank it. He pulled out his ZV-74 and checked to see if it had cells in it. He holstered his revolver and and looked around. The zebra's morale was high but he was starting to lose it while waiting to be briefed.

[Nameless Knight 1,001]

"I'm going to guess, Something went to hell somewhere and we are suppose to either check it out or fix it. For me, I call that the usual." Specter said as he grabbed his Accuracy International AWP (for now on I am going to just call it the AWP) and unloaded into before removing the clip. He field striped it like he did his desert eagle. The rifle was brand new, given to him by Jester for his birthday, but he just wanted to make sure it was in good shape. He put it back together and put it back on his back.

Spirit Watcher was neither standing or sitting, she was hovering. About 4 feet above the ground, she flapped her wings very slowly and hovered there. She was visible to the other ponies, for their sake. She decided to land next to the table and speak "I have a feeling this is gonna be a babysitting mission. Go in, find somepony, bring them out in one piece. I hate keeping ponies in one piece." She said as she pulled out her wing knives and slid them on.

Lightning Spark got up from a corner and walked over to the table, silent as usual. He brandished one of his Katana's and started to sharpen it, with his horn. He the did a slow swing to test the weight, and as always with his weapons, it's balanced perfectly. He then notions to Spirit Watcher and then holds his sword in a blocking position.

Spirit Watcher notices Lightning Spark out of the corner of her eye and puts her wings up, showing she's ready for a practice fight. "We're all obviously professionals here, so I'm not holding back." She said as she flew towards Lightning Spark and swung at hime about 50,000 times in a few seconds.

Lightning Spark blocked every swing and did a few retalliations on her wing knives, just to show he was faster. But he then sheathed his sword and sat down next to the table, taking out a frag grenade and started to toss it around.

(Ok, my guy should be freaking out. Since I am for some reason playing Human in Equestria, it is time to have fun.)

 

"Look, you Technicolor talking pomies, babysitting or not, it is our job to get done. And if you're done shwing off, I think we need.to figure out all of our strengths. Obviously you two are fast. How about everyone else? As for me, I am, well lets just say that I am good with machinery."

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

"Firearms. I know how to shoot a gun perfectly." Mabra said. "When I was 8 my dad gave me a gun. I learned how to shoot it and everything. 2 months of pure practice and I never could miss." After Mabra was through talking he threw the empty beer bottle at the wall shattering it. Mabra took of his tribal necklace and looked at it. He started saying a prayer in his native language.

"Tactics and Marksmanship, Also I have years of experience in the Equestrian Navy and the ESFU." Specter said as he put back on his boonie cap and loaded each of his weapons with a fresh clip. He then looked at  Spirit and said "Babysitting missions are not that bad once you get use to them, Well unless you are babysitting a hostile. That gets really annoying..." 

[Concerto Dusk 240]

"I feel like I am at a zoo. A really trippy zoo. But oh well, a job is a job. And where the hell is the CO? It's one thing to drag me here for no apparent reason, itvis quite another to not explain what the hell is happening? Like really." As he says this, he unloads the undermount of his gun, and test fires it.

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

(When is the damn guy running this gonna come)

Mabra finishing his prayer looks up. "When is this gonna start. Where is the guy runnin this" he asks. "I'm getting tired of waiting." Mabra looked at his AK and carved something into the stock. When he was done he looked at it. It said

HOPE AND FAITH in Zebraian (African but with Zebra)

[Nameless Knight 1,001]

(he is offline right now, maybe also its called Afrikaan not African)

 

"Admiral Freshwater would have briefed us by now and we would be half way to the drop zone..." Specter said to himself before pulling the combat knife out of his boot and tossed it up and caught it. He did it once more before putting the combat knife in his boot.

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

(Well it doesn't really matter)

Mabra took out his ZC-75 and unloaded 1 cell. He tossed it up in the air and caught it and put it back in the chamber. He did it to every cell toss, catch, reload. "Does anyone know who we are going up against?" Mabra was fed up with waiting. He absolutely knew nothing of there mission. He wanted answers.

[Anon In Equestria 57]

Suddenly without warning all the lights in the room turns off, and the air vents go quite, you try to look outside but notice that something is blocking all the windows. Suddenly the entire building shifts, sending you off balance.

 

Once your on the floor you swore you heard the door swish open and then footsteps, before you hear a clang as if some kind of small metal canister hits the grou...

 

*BANG*

 

Suddenly a blinding white flash leaves you without you vision for the moment, the next thing you hear is major clue as to what's happening, its the chamber on a gun being filled with a fresh round, the final click, then...

 

*BANG*

[Nameless Knight 1,001]

Specter fell out of his chair when the room shifted and grabbed his AWP. His goggles made it so that the flash did not affect him as much. He could not see because the lights were off . He tried to get up but he was still too disoriented. He heard a gun shot and he rolled onto his back and fired his AWP, the bullet only hit the roof and didn't even come close to anyone. He grabbed his combat knife and tried to get up.

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

The lights went out. "What the hell." Mabra fell over when the room shifted. "Did the building just move." Suddenly a flash went off in the room. It blinded him he couldn't see. "Ahhhh Damnit" He heard a gun shot. He grabbed his AK and turned the laser sight on. He hip fired his gun only to shoot out a window. He fell over as he was still a little stunned from the flash. "What...the hell"

Rolling from the flash, Kenji points his gun at the figure. "Darkness means nothing if you have thermal. Who the hell are you and why did you attack us." His ears ringing, he gets ready to fire the grenade from the undermount. As he aims, he notices the gunshot. Looking through a thermal scope at intense heat nearly blinds him in that eye.

[Sir Xarthas VI 470]

Spirit Watcher flew up and hovered when the building shifted, and so did Lightning Spark. They both hovered there and watched everything happen. The ponies on the ground were all discombobulated and shooting at nothing. Spirit guessed they couldn't see or hear anything. Thanks to a fight with a nasty little Ursa Minor though, she's resistance to Flash Bang's, and she can naturally see in the dark. "This is why I prefer working alone." She says aloud in the new members' direction. Lightning Spark nodded to the comment, and took out one of his daggers and started tossing it, and catching it, just to pass the time. Spirit Watcher looked around the room for anything useful, but didn't really see anything that could help in this situation. So she decided to take action herself. "EVERYBODY STOP MOVING AND SHOOTING!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, which almost made the group deaf.

[Nameless Knight 1,001]

Specter got onto his hooves and got a pair of night vision goggles  out of his bag. He put them on and turned them on just as Spirit yelled at them. Specter just looked at her and whispered something under his breath. He then picked up his rifle and looked for where the gunshot came from.

[Anon In Equestria 57]

As vision returns and chaos takes its leave, in the door way stands a armoured pony, completely covered in three inches of black ceramic plating, a mechanical voice echoes through the room.

 

"You call your selves soldiers, I let one bullet off, You panic, ahh I'll have the requisitions officer ready the body bags"

Specter looked at the armored pony in the doorway and thought 'I guess this is our CO'. Specter wanted to reply to what he said but he knew never to talk back to a commanding officer. He just looked at the pony, Specter's goggles and mask hiding any expression. He put his rifle on his back and examined the armored pony.

[Concerto Dusk 240]

"Look, your late. And if you insult me once more, I mught use this puppy to teach you a lesson. You come in, guns blazing and act like your a god. Well, do you have what it takes to eat a grenade? And uf you were to susrvive that, I wouldn't be scred if me." (Ya, lets shot or CO lol, don't worry, he'll start behaving soon)

[Anon In Equestria 57]

The armoured pony steps up to the human and glared at him through his tinted visor.

 

"If you were something special, they'd have you running this operation not me, now stand down Meatbag"

 

He then walks back over to the door and brings his hoof up in front of his face and a holo projector displays data.

 

"Ok line up, I need names and details, what are you good at and why your here"

[Nameless Knight 1,001]

"I am Lieutenant Specter Phantom of the Equestrian Special Forces Unit; Team 6, I am a highly skilled marksman, I am a tactical specialist, and I have almost 20 years of experience, also I was the top in my class in BUDS." Specter said as he saluted "Admiral Freshwater, said I was chosen for this mission.... she never told why I was chosen..."

 

(BUDS is the training that chosen ponies in the Navy have to go through to join the ESFU. Only 1/7 of the ponies that enter survive the first month... the training lasts 6 months)

[Anon In Equestria 57]

The pony laughed and gave a salute.

 

"The Captain hasn't told me why he picked you ether"

 

He then looks at his wrist com and nods slowly.

 

"Well from what your records say, your an exceptional soldier, operation germane revival seems to be a example of that"

 

The pony then offers his hoof to spectre.

 

"Welcome to Bravo team spectre"
