While on a secret mission against the Griffon Empire, Spitfire is separated from the rest of her squad. Alone in enemy territory with a jammed gun, Spitfire's chances of survival are slim. What happened next could only be described as Supernatural.

Written from Spitfire's point of view.

Inspired by the Sabaton song "Camouflage" from the album "The Last Stand."

Sniff...briiliant.

R.I.P. Soldier.

Holy fuck....

I've been waiting for a story like this since The Last Stand came out

Here, have this:

7497588 Thanks for the video! Interesting!

*clapping hands* wonderful. Just....wonderful.

7498140 I wish I had known about that before I wrote this, the lyrics are much easier to understand than the Sabaton version. Also, intro reminds me of "Sabaton- to hell and back."

A most awesome story. Thank you.

Great story. I like how it was short and sweet.

7498948 Thanks for the compliments!

You had me at the title! Liked and favorited, I love Sabaton.

7499474 Thanks! Yeah, Sabaton is awesome!!

I'm happy to read that centuries from now on the date of my birth, such a tale will transpire.

Dammit, I saw this and facepalmed immediately remembering the lyrics...

Sabaton!

Camouflage can stalk me in the woods any day, seriously

7501153 I am a Sabaton fan and this was awsome i wish there was more Sabaton stories and i wish you can make more in the future

8086160 Thank you! I've had writer's block lately, but something is certainly in the works.

I read that, and thought it was awesome!

Perfect. May your soul find peace Camouflage

I fired my freshly repaired saddle gun in rapid fire mode, taking down several more. The griffons began retaliating with their own weapons, but to little effect. The gunfire stopped after about a minute of fighting, but I could hear more griffons on their way. We ran across the clearing, jumping over the bodies of the griffons. I instinctively tried to fly, but I was painfully reminded of the shrapnel still in my wing. We slowed down once we reached the edge of the clearing. A bullet suddenly zoomed past my head from behind. I spun around and noticed two griffons, one with a rifle, the other with a machine gun. The machine gunner opened fire before I could, but missed. Camouflage then got in front of me and began firing back. I began to wonder how the bullets missed this soldier; they seemed to pass right through him as if he wasn't there. I decided it was just something with my eyes still adjusting to the darkness. The two griffons were taken down easily enough. We continued fighting and running for a few hours; it was exhausting.

put some of the lyuris in the story nicely done

SABATON IS AWESOME

I like how it seems the ponies know the humans existed before they came around, even if they didn’t know what they looked like, because of the ghost soldier it makes me think of “Riding With Private Malone”.

Fun fact, for those who care:

This song is not a Sabaton original. I prefer their cover, but the song was originally written by Stan Ridgeway. Aside from the invulnerability and bullet-swatting that Camouflage does in Sabaton's cover, in Ridgeway's version, he also rips a palm tree out of the ground and uses it to beat Vietcong soldiers; which is a fantastic mental image, IMO.

As amazing as this was, Camouflage was supposed to come from the Vietnam war, hence a part of a lyric …hunting Charlie down. Charlie being a slang for the Viet Cong.
