"Shut Up!"

"No! I have a right to speak my mind, unlike you vagabonds!"

"And stop using big words just to embarrass me!"

"You don't need my help for that!"

This argument takes place in top secret facility of which no pony knows the location of. The representatives of the Pegasus were arguing with the representatives of the Unicorns. General Feather Breaker, an orange coated Pegasus with a black mane and tail, was in a heated debate with Lord Dusk Till Dawn, a unicorn who had a unique coat that alternated between colors continuously as well as his mane and tail.

"General. Calm yourself!" declared the Pegasus Governor Sliver Strike, "we must handle this in a peaceful manner."

"Why!?" retorted the furious general, "You know as well as I do that these... these... wizards want access to that area merely because it is close to one of our power stations!"

"I cannot admit to knowing such a thing general!" he pulled Feather Breaker aside out of ear shot, "To admit that could start another war between the Pegasus and Unicorns."

"If we let them access that land they will take out our base. They've done it before."

The Governor looked at Breaker with sad eyes and asked, "do we have any strong evidence of that?"

It was the Generals turn to become quiet. After a moment he replied sadly, "no."

After a moments silence the doors to the room burst open. a Pegasus messenger came flying in declaring, "THE UNICORN SOLDIERS ARE ATTACKING THE BASE!"

In an instant the Unicorns in the room used their magic to silence the messenger. They would have attacked the other Pegasi if they had not been outnumbered. they used a spell of light to blind the soldiers before rushing out.

"TRAITOR! COME BACK!" yelled Feather Breaker in a rage.

After everyone had gotten their sight back they went to the battle outside. Unfortunately, the Unicorn representatives had already left. their soldiers stayed to fight. Bullets sailed through the air. feathers flew through the sky. The Unicorns were outnumbered but they put up a great fight.

"Just like in the old town huh bud?!" yelled Silver Strike.

"You and I remember the old town very differently!" replied Feather Breaker, "and I think you owe me an apology!"

"fine! you were right!" yelled Silver as he shot down three Unicorns, "I guess I should have been more carful."

"your darn right!"

They continued to fight off the invaders until a cry from behind alerted them both, "THERE'RE COMING FROM BEHIND!"

Silver Strike turned around, but not in time. the last thing he saw was a fire blast spell shaped like a spear head for his stomach region. As Feather Breaker saw the scene the world slowed down around him. he galloped to his life long friend who now lay on the ground.

"NO! SILVER!" he yelled as tears began to form in his eyes, "stay with me! come on! stay with me!"

Silver opened his mouth and used all his might to say, "do...don't...don't waste... yo... your life."

Feather Breaker began to shake, "I... I won't"

Silver smiled before his body went limp.

"NOOOO!" yelled the General. As explosions began to sound around him, he picked up Silver's body and began to run with the other soldiers to a secret passage that would lead away from the base. he ran through the passage with all his might, all the while saying to himself, "stay with me buddy. we'll make it out. I'll get you out of here."

-the next day-

"So doc..." said an impatient General to a green earth pony with a brown mane and tail, "is... is he going to make it?"

the doctor looked at him unsure, "I.. I don't know. the machines he's hooked up to should keep him alive for a few weeks but..." he trailed off.

"But what?" asked Breaker.

"...we have a device. it was invented by an brilliant mare. the device was able to restore tissue and heal any organism."

"ok, then hook him up. what's so hard about that?"

"The last test subjects were... destroyed. and that's putting in nicely. we can't figure out how to work the matrix. the only chance we have is that you find some pony with the knowledge to work such a machine. some pony who can... how should I put it... hack the system"

"I'll find him. Whatever it takes."

Feather Breaker left the room not before glancing out the window at the sight of smoke far off in the distance where a Base once stood.

"If it's a fight you want. It's fight you'll get."
