Operation "Protect"
Commander Red "Inferno"/A.K.A "Blaze"
July 14th, 1987
Before The Elements were born
Mission Briefing: Protect Queen Chrysalis from any hostile contact if any. Ensure she makes it to Bravo with minor Injures. Deadly force is authorized.
"Ok team lets roll out"
They all opened the door to see fancy pony's dressed up in suits discussing multiple things. Such as business,wealth, and other things fancy pony's talk about. Blaze passed them all as we wore there body suits.
They covered our face and hid out fur so nopony would notice us. Blaze and his team were entering a long hallway guarded by several Elite Changling. They wore metal armor and stood in place.
As we reached the hallway they were stopped by the metal Changling.
"Halt who goes there to see Queen Chrysalis" said the Changling.
"Captain Blaze of the First Changling Royal Army" Blaze said with his teammates behind him.
"Yes she's been excepting you" the guards said and stepped aside letting Blaze and his team through.
As they walked the hallway they saw paintings of old leaders of the Changling army. As they opened the door they saw The Queen, more metal Changling guards standing there and a messenger Changling bowing to the queen.
"Queen there have been sightings of unauthorized Griffins entering our country what shall we do" said the messenger.
"Go tell Commander Wind that this must be dealt with and send his men all around the gates" said the Queen.
He nodded and bowed before rushing out the room hurrying to Wind. The room went silent as Blaze went over to the queen. He bowed along with his comrades.
"Captain how long has it been" she said.
"Not long enough" Blaze said.
" Anything you have to report" she said.
"Yes, Equestria has hired Griffin mercenaries to hunt and take you out, we must take you to the panic room across the city" said Blaze.
"Do you have any "Evidence" of this" she said.
"Yes me and my team found some pony's camping out, outside the city and we interrogated them and they told us that they were scouting out the area for the Griffins to attack" Blaze said.
"This is a concern, ok we must leave at nightfall-
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM
A loud explosion erupted outside the double doors. Some Guards went in front of the queen while the rest ran outside to investigate the explosion. Blazes team ran outside.
"Queen I think right now would be the best time to leave" Blaze said.
She nodded slowly and Blaze ran outside to assist his team. But as he ran outside he saw the metal Changlings guards either fighting off the griffins or dead in the floor. His team was taking cover behind a large destroyed piece of the wall. Blaze ran over to his team and readied his knife for any action.
"Sir, 8 armed griffins with spears and 7 others using hoof to hoof combat" said his Sargent.
"Ok you three give me cover fire while you three come with me and assist the Changlings.
Blaze ran out of cover and jumped onto the nearest griffin. He pulled out his knife from his side and sliced the griffins throat causing it to fumble to the ground. A second griffin ran toward him but Blaze threw his knife at the griffins leg and the griffin took a knee.
Blaze rushed over and bucked the griffin in the neck causing it to snap and fall to the ground. He quickly pulled out the knife but a large griffin towered over him. The griffin raised its large talons and thrusted them down but multiple beam shots hit the griffin and penetrated its fur and went straight through the griffin killing it.
Blaze looked over to his side and saw his teammates smiling but they soon shot more beams at the griffins buying enough time for Blaze to reach cover.
"Sargent GO GET THE QUEEN WE NEED TO EVACUATE" Blaze yelled across the fighting and screaming.
The Sargent ran into the double door hallways and then vanished. Blaze looked over his cover and saw only 3 griffins remaining out of the fifthteen that infiltrated.
He ran toward them as they were fighting some Changling and he kicked ones leg and it fell to the ground. Blaze wrapped its hoofs around its neck and twisted it. He released it and used his knife to stab the other one in the side. It screamed out a sheik but he silenced it by thrusting his knife in its neck.
The last griffin tried to fly away. Blaze saw this and chucked his knife into the griffins wing making it fall several feet and into a large boulder. It died as it made contact with the boulder. Blaze walked over to the griffin and pulled his knife from its wing and proceeded on.
"Sir there's multiple griffin squads head this way,we need to escape this building or else they'll have us pinned down" said one of his Changling teammates.
"Ok you three escort the princess out of here and meet up with Delta outside. Me,Sargent, and Corporal will provide cover support" Blaze said grabbing a spear from a near by dead griffin.
As he pulled the spear out he saw the princess walk out here throne room with 20 metal Changling guards all around her.
"Princess we need you go with them, they'll escort you out of here in one piece, me and my team will provide support" Blaze said again.
She nodded and went with half of Blazes team.
"Ok team we MUST make sure that the queen makes it out of here ALIVE, Sargent, Corporal I need both of you to take the low ground just in case they get pinned down and I'm take high ground" Blaze said and galloped up the nearby stairs and into a large hallway that overlooked the room below. The windows were one sided and he noticed this every time he visited the queens throne.
He saw his Comrades fighting off the griffin mercenaries but there was something off about who was helping the griffins.
"Ponys..." Blaze said.
"What in hays name is the Equestria military doing here"
As said that, beams shot toward him and almost took his head. He rolled over to the nearest object and took cover. He was getting bombed with beams, he saw his last smoke grenade and pulled the pin and threw it toward the hostile.
The Pony's that were shooting at him eyes were blinded by the smoke in there path. They held there guard but as each one was to focused on there front, they left there backs undefended. Each pony was being thrown on the floor and Blaze put his hoof on there mouths and sliced there throats.
By the time the smoke was gone, the only pony left in the hallway was Blaze. He shook himself from the blood and rushed into the other room. As he was fighting the pony's his teammates cleared out the room below and went to the convoy waiting outside.
He pushed the double doors and saw the metal Changling guards dead on the floor with his teammates also killed.
"What happened he-
He was cut off by a knife being driven into his side and pushed on the floor. He was able to pulled the life out but a large pony stood over him.
"So you are Captain of the Changling army, but why was I able to take out your platoon with some recruit military pony's" said the large pony.
Blaze growled in pain. The large pony walked away with his fellow solider's. Blaze turned to his side and saw Queen Chrysalis being thrown into a hot air ballon with hoof-cuffs around her neck all the way up to her hoofs.
He was able to pick himself up and slowly walk to the nearest stairs.
.
"My mission is to protect The Princess, that is my job till my dying breath"
.
He found a set of stairs and made his way up 5 flights of stairs. Blood was running down his body but he held on and kept walking as he was trained for this. He reached the roof with blood running down his body and his vision being blackened. He threw himself to the ledge and he casted a spell letting him zoom in on the hot air ballon.
He readied his one-shot beam and placed his vision on a certain pony in the hot air ballon.
In the ballon was The Queen,The large pony, and a guard pony.
He took the shot and killed the pony that he was suppose to kill. He fell the floor holding his side. Before he blacked out he saw Several Military pony's surrounding him and he heard something but blacked out as he was being levitated up and teleported.
