The day equestria stood still

THE DAY EQUESTRIA STOOD STILL

Chapter 2- awe.

The silence, he was still, it was surreal almost like a bad dream.  Star closed his eyes for what would be the last time. He was awoken by the scream of a jet engine, several fighting machines move into formation. He broke sight with the jets to find ink unconscious from head injuries blood dripping from his head only to be caught by the gravity field. A hatch opens they begin to creep towards the opening. A loud boom occurred a large ball of fire blanketed the rear of the tripod. The vessel let out a horrid robotic scream, the field flickered dropping them onto a near by building slamming the already battered and bruised ponies onto the roofing with a slam.

The machine went silent. The lights went out. Then it let out a whirr increasing in volume and bass. Until it burst to life and turned around with quaking stomps. A cylindrical tube on the front started to rotate then it shot a blue laser at one of the jets missing it by an inch. The other jet tailing it was not so lucky it was struck the jet burst into a orange inferno burning bits falling to the city streets below.

Star slowly regains his sense and hoists his friend on his back and heads towards a open roof access door. The floor under them crumbles sending the two ponies through the roof onto the next floor down. Star struggles to pick ink up after two good tries he succeeds and shuffles over to the corner of the room and sets him down gently before collapsing with a grunt. Star looks up through the collapsed part of the roof where the fell in, he sees the gray-ish-blue tint of the clouds and thought "this is the last thing I'm going to see." He broke the silence with "Im comin' home." as his vision blurred and blackened as he slipped from consciousness, his breath slowed as the sounds of the attack began to dull, untill pure unadulterated silence.

BEEP BEEP BEEP, BEEP BEEP BEEP, the alarm sung star rose up from the bed. His vision blurred he stumbled into a tan hall. He recognised this hall! He sprinted through the hall and down towards a kitchen, where two old ponies were sitting eating breakfast. "MOM DAD!!!!" Star cried tears welling in his eyes. He attempted to make physical contact with them but they did not move or respond. The glasses adjourning the round table began to shake violently. The table crashed to the ground, spilling the meal onto the floor. Stars parents stood up and attempted to flee the  shaking house. With a creaking snap a wall gave in trapping the father under a gaping portion of wood and nail. Meanwhile a candle that got knocked over in the kitchen set the tablecloth ablaze. The fire alarm rang in the kitchen. The contradicting support beam buckled  breaking the main on the gas furnace. from the pipe erupted a cloud of eggy gas, which creaked trough the hall.  When the greenish eggy gas reaches the buring table, a sky-shattering boom.

Star gasps, waking in a cold sweat his breaths are sharp short and erratic. Looking out the brand new skylight, courtesy of the giant fucking death machines! Seeing the sky glow with lasers, small arms fire, and burning skyscrapers. It makes an almost romantic glow. Star breaks the silence, splitting his bloody, swollen lips he says "It's funny how such a tragedy can be so beautiful." He turns his head to his right to seeing his incapacitated friend lying there on the dirty tile floor. Star raising his eyebrows "does that  make me a psychopath?" Ink remained still, as if he was in a very deep sleep, a very very deep one...
