Mary, Jack and Eduard were honored by the President at the Government Palace, in Canterlot, for their bravery during the combat the previous day, there was the High Command of the Equestrian Armed Forces with Celestia, "Well, I'm embarrassed." Mary said, nervous, but still happy to have helped her country, "Everything will be fine." Jack consoled, "Look, the President and the Commanders of the Armed Forces..." Eduard said, after looking around and finding Celestia and the other Commanders climbing the stage, "You can come in!" Celestia said, with a smile on her face, "Ah, thank you, Celestia!" thanked Jack, climbing the stage together with his girlfriend and his friend, – It's an honor to appear here." Eduard said, opening a smile, "Wow, Ah almost los' time!" Applejack exclaimed, appearing on the other side of the stage, "Oh, guys, I-I'm embarrassed!" Mary exclaimed, looking at the high-ranking military and press people in the audience, "Too bad Sniperplayer, Rainbow Dash and Frank can't see..." Eduard said, "I wish they were here..." Mary replied.

"We are all gathered here to witness the reception of the Army Medal of Bravery and Courage for Captain Jack Castle, Sergeant Eduard Mac II and Mary Clint, who are present in this hall! Unfortunately we do not have the presence of the Minister of Defense, Marshal Rainbow Dash, General Commander Sniperplayer Mount, General Snow Sky, Frank Kriegsveteran and Minister Pinkie Pie, who will also receive the Medal of Bravery upon returning to Equestria, Applejack, Minister of Technology is here to play Minister Rainbow Dash!" the President said in her speech, while General Cloud Card handed out the Medals of Bravery to the heroes, followed by Applejack, who handed out the Medals of Courage, "Thank you very much for receiving the medals, it is an honor." Jack said, in gratitude, "I feel like a champion protecting Equestria, I thank any allies who got here." Eduard said, "We are the heroes that Equestria needs, thus feeling safer." Mary said to the audience, "Thank you very much for everything you did!" Celestia thanked, proud of the three heroes, "And these are the Great Heroes of Equestria, who yesterday were fighting against a possible new gang, and appeared with me yesterday, here in the newspaper, after an intense shootout along with a chase against three Ministers and a General." Rarity said, in front of the cameras, "Well, we have a story to tell, eh." Eduard said, chuckling, "Calm down, Mary." Jack said, seeing his partner crying with emotion, "What do you think of this moment?" Rarity asked, interviewing the trio, "A historic moment for all of Equestria, who knows, maybe we can tell this story to our grandchildren!" Eduard said, looking into the camera lens, "Have you ever been in this situation before?" Rarity asked, "No, it's our first time!" Jack replied, "How many years have they been active?"

Rarity continued with her interviews with the newspapers, ensuring that no further information was made public, Air Force Officer Bow Rift applauded the decorated heroes, until one of his Phantom Special Force operators went up to him and said something in his ear, Bow went to the other Officers to spread the information he had just received, causing them to leave. The Generals went to the Ministry of Defense meeting room, "Explain that clearly!" Red Code exclaimed, "A ship going to Stalliongrad?" Barn Stock was surprised, "I also thought that was strange, but the ship will leave here in seven hours." Bow said, looking fixedly at Germaneighia on the map, "Part of the Kraken is on the streets, as well as the Ghosts and Phantoms." Red Code said, leader of the Kraken, "We have Black Fish." Barn said, "How many are free?" Flight Cooper asked, "18!" Barn informed, "It's still little." Cloud Card said, "Let's call Eduard and Jack, they should be free at the moment."

Eduard, Jack and Mary were at Jack's house, celebrating the honor received earlier, until they heard a knock on the door, Jack went to answer, "Sergeant Eduard, Captain Jack, we need you gentlemen!" a Black Fish Soldier exclaimed, "Okay, what do you need?" Jack asked, "We are going to board a ship that is leaving Germaneighia and heading to Stalliongrad, most of the Intelligence personnel are working on the streets and the agents of the International Equestrian Intelligence Service are unavailable, the ship that will be boarded was sent by a person who cannot be identified, we already have a helicopter ready for the approach which is close to the coast of Germaneighia, we will go there by helicopter." the operator informed, "Right." Jack said, "Before we go, we need to prepare, you never know how many men we might face..." Eduard said, "Well, I'll just stop here..." Mary said, "Really?" Jack said, "I take care of things around here..." Mary said, "Ok, thanks for the information, Soldier, we'll see you there." Jack said, closing the door and going to get ready, as did Eduard.
