A Rainbow No More- Chapter 10

Let's cut to the action.

Shortest note so far.


They were in a jet.

Again.

They were flying above the ocean. It was beautiful.

The lady- who came to be known as Theodora- was displaying a map of where they were located and where they were touching down. They were about ten minutes away.

"Everyone ready?" called AJ.

"Yup."

"Uh huh."

"Sure."

Their packs were full of supplies. Knives, gun parts, grenades, C4, all that good time jazz. Applejack was learning how to use a calculator- a Texas Instruments 84 plus. It was old, but they used these so they couldn't be tracked with them. They were not connected to any networks, or anything. They each had mission data on them, and were the safest bet for something inaccessible and durable.

But they could still be hacked.

A great vibration rocked the plane.

"EMP alert: STATUS: Kamikaze Virus; script:" said Theodora. She displayed a message before shutting down:

AJ's calculator automatically went to LINK menu. It started receiving something. It was a program, called BUNNY. It finished installing, then, it ran the program automatically.

The screen was blank except for the loading line at the top.

"Is this a joke?" AJ asked, as she took the batteries out, and put them back in.

She turned it on, and it read: TI 84 plus RAM CLEARED. The screen was dark, so she turned the contrast back down. They had their mission data stolen.

"Wow. That simple, huh," said Sharp Stone.

"Touchdown, folks. I'm gonna have you jump in three... two... one... Good day!"

They all hopped out. They free fell for a minute, then pulled the blinking strings.

When they landed on the boat below, they all did this epic one-hoof punch landing, at Flood's suggestion.

"Nice!" a pony from the other side yelled.

The boat was long. It was a warship, a Destroyer, and behind it trailed six other ships. In the distance, another ship could be spotted. It was the enemy.

"I realize you all were just attacked by a kamikaze virus that erased all your mission data. You will do as you are commanded, and you will follow all directions."

"YES SIR!"

"Squad 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D, you all get to take the pods. 2A through 2D, you will man the guns on the ship. Rainbow Dash!"

"YES SIR!"

"You will be manning the RIM-67 Standard. Be careful."

"YES SIR!" She was going to get to shoot a missile! SWEET!

"Applejack!"

"YES SIR!"

"You will be manning the M61 Vulcan for one shift."

"YES SIR!" She was gonna use a machine gun. Meh.

"The rest of you! You know what to do."

Everypony scrambled around, attending their shifts. Below deck, the third pre-trained squad sector was operating the controls, radars, and electronic equipment.

The rules of warfare were very different from Earth. But... they had American weapons. Meh.

Sixteen individual pods shot out of the sides of the boat, skimming the water until they submerged.

Then, twenty fighter jets launched into the air... from the enemy ship. Smoke trailed behind them each.

Rainbow aimed her missile.


WOOT! ACTION!

Thanks for reading!
