Battlefield equestria: retaking ponyville

Pov: rainbow dash

As we made our way out of sweet apple acres, I and the rest of the squad stopped to admire the view. The once lively town of ponyville was now a quiet and seemingly lifeless wasteland. Lots of houses and buildings were burned down or partially destroyed.

I heard Luna's voice come through the radio, "alright echo, you have one job, retake ponyville from the gryphons.""I want you to start with twilight's tree house

"Affirmative" replied hornet. " alright, Dash, AJ and Blaze you go attack the house, twilight you keep a lookout, and ill cover you three attacking.

We continued into the town until the tree house was in sight, hornet laid down in some shrubs, twilight sat near him keeping watch.

"Alright guys, let's go" I said. We advanced through cover until we got within 20 feet of the house. Before we got any closer, i spotted a gryphon looking out a window.

"Shit guys, blaze yelled, get to cover" we ran and dived behind some market stands.

"Hey, hornet think you can take him out?" asked AJ. I kept my eye on the window; I heard a gunshot and the gryphon's head exploded. "Nice fucking shot" AJ replied.

We advanced toward the tree house; we got to one of the bottom floor windows. We looked in and saw four gryphon soldiers sitting around a TV.

"Alright guys," I said.  1.....2.....3.... fire!

The sound of our guns rang in the air; the soldiers never knew what hit them. We climbed through the window, we looked at the mess we created, one gryphon was missing a head, one had a wing lying on the floor, and the other was ripped open.

A gryphon appeared from the stairs holding a magnum, "shit guys look out" I managed to yell before the gryphon starting shooting. I heard blaze yell in pain before he fell onto the ground. Before he could get another shot off I put a bullet between his eyes. I watched as his body rolled down the stairs.

"DASH" AJ yelled to me, "get your ass over here" I ran over and looked down at blaze, there was a large open wound in his chest, and blood was leaking onto the wooden floor. We heard multiple gunshots ring into the air.

"Guys, you got tangos coming from the upstairs!" we heard hornet say over t he radio, followed by another gunshot.

Me and AJ pulled blaze into a corner and pulled a table in front of us, the gryphon's peered their heads over the railing. We opened fire on them. I took down one of them before they ducked for cover. We heard some of them coming down the stairs, AJ pulled her shotgun out and fired at them. One of the gryphons's got hit and his midsection got torn apart.

We heard a sniper gunshot in the distance, the glass above our heads shattered into pieces, a gryphon on our right fell to the ground screeching in pain.

"Hey, watch it asshole!" I yelled at hornet.

"Sorry, he was sneaking up on you." He replied.

I managed to gun down another one, "Just three left" I managed to yell at AJ. One of them flew in the air to try to get to the other side of the room, but he was no match for AJ's shotgun. She fired and he fell to the ground and cracked the wooden floor, sending blood everywhere. One peeked out for a second, which was one to long, a sniper bullet went straight threw his head. "Another spectacular shot!" I said congratulating him. As his body slumped onto the ground the gunshots stopped. "The hell is the last guy" I thought to myself. I heard AJ's shotgun fire, and a body slammed into the ground in front of us. "Nice shot AJ" I said

"Thanks dash" she replied.

Right after she finished hornet and twilight burst through the door.

"You two okay?" hornet asked in a worried tone.

"I and AJ are fine, but I don't know about blaze." I replied. I looked at the corner where he laid, his yellow coat faded to orange, blood soaked the floor around him, and he was breathing heavily and slowly.

"Twilight start working on blaze right away" hornet commanded. "You two, hornet pointed at us, keep lookout."  Me and aj both nodded and went to the windows and looked out. We heard hornet making his way upstairs. I took this time to reload and resupply myself.

I looked back at blaze, his breathing returned to normal, and he stopped bleeding. I really hope he's going to be okay I thought to myself.

I lazily sat down on the floor and closed my eyes, I wanted to too fall asleep so badly. I started to drift off; I was about to fall asleep when I heard the sound of footsteps and a sound I hated, a helicopter.

"Shit guys we got company" AJ yelled, I watched as she pulled out some claymores and laid them on the ground. "Get back rainbow, you don't want to get blown up by them."

"They're here guys!" hornet yelled from upstairs. Me and AJ ran to the back and pulled up anything we could use as cover. Twilight put blaze with us then settled at the top of the stairs.

The chopper immediately started firing at us. It light the whole house up with machine gun fire, a few gryphon's entered through the doorway, the claymore went off straight away, blasting away the gryphon's, along with their body parts. Others started entering through; we were able to easily mow them down. They chopper backed up and aimed its guns at the doorway.

"Don't worry guys, I heard hornet yell, I got this shit!" the choppers guns started to spin only to be interrupted by a sniper shot through the window, the glass cracked the pilots corpse reared back and the slumped over and the screen filled with blood.

"Fucking beautiful!"

"Fan-fucking-tastic shot!"

"Amazing shot!"

I AJ and even twilight said almost spontaneously.

But the victory was short lived, the chopper hovered for a second, then started drifting words the house at a fast rate,

"oh shit...."

The chopper slammed into the tree house and exploded violently, the tree house immediately began burning.

Luna's voice played through our radio, "RETREAT, ABANDON MISSION"

"Come on guys through the back exit" twilight yelled to us. I continued to fire at the door before I ran out of ammo, I saw hornet slide down the stairs, he picked up blaze and came with us. We ran out of the burning house and fled into the forest.

We ran and flew for miles. We finally sat down and took a breather, I sat against a tree, we took out the few supplies we had left, and we put down a few sleeping bags and some food and water. I didn't notice it night already. I slipped into a sleeping bag.

"I'll take first watch" AJ said.

I laid my head down and got comfortable and in no time I was fast asleep.
