The Battle for Ponyville (Part 2)

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I awoke with everyone awake already, some were keeping a watch on the town. I slowly got up and stretched out, making sure I was prepared for anything. I noticed a small spec up in the sky, then three more, all of which falling down. I squinted to try to get a better look, I noticed that they were bodies. My eyes widened as they fell, people around me started to notice this to.

"Are they? Falling" Klum said, scratching his head.

"Yes but, from where...Oh my god!!" I said, realizing that they were just smashed through 'The Wall'.

"The Wall! Thats it The Wall!!" A mage exclaimed, we prepared to drag them into the forest to avoid them from 'attacking' the town again. We lined up across the edge of the forest, waiting for their impact to the ground. They were extremely close, most of us winced and closed our eyes when they hit the ground. I looked over to the unconscious bodies, none of them were bloodied or damaged, only their clothes. We all ran over there and grabbed the bodies, and quickly dragged them into the forest.

"Man, I thought they were done for" Klum said.

"But all of us survived the fall didn't we?" I said, everyone nodded. It took a while to wait for the people to wake up, but soon they did.


"I sure do hope Twilight is okay" Pinkie said , her hair drooping and a frown on her face.

"I just don't understand why those things got ta' attack us!" Applejack ranted, showing anger and concern.

"When I find them, i'll beat them to a pulp!" Rainbow shouted, thinking of one certain creature."We have to do something about Ponyville! It is unguarded, and with those things out in the forest, they can attack at any time!"

"I have to agree with Dash, Ponyville is so vulnerable! Maybe we can get Spikey Wikey to send a letter to the Princess about this problem!" Rarity stated, pouting and looking over to Twilight. Twilight was heavily damaged, the dagger pierced through her ribcage and almost extremely damaged organs. She was quickly taken to the hospital after Roseluck noticed that she was stabbed.


The whole group of us 'rebels' stayed in the forest at all times, to avoid further contact with those ponies. Some requested that we just go and kill them all, we could, but many of us refused to do so at the time. A few more people fell from the sky over the two hours that we waited, building little huts and tinkering with our weapons. Soon, we had a full on campsite, we moved further down the forest before making all of this, we didn't wan to be found. We had a little training yard, a main hut and separate huts for sleeping. We elected Klum to be the leader, he was smart, kind, reliable, truthful, outgoing, and generous. It wasn't a hard decision, most of us knew Klum anyways, we was the best cleric out there, or....up there. Our group got larger by at least every other day. We had 12 at the start, now we have 23, we all got along just fine, being from the same faction and all. There was even a river up ahead, so water and baths were covered, this forest had a myriad of animals, enough to feed us for years.

It was a while before all of us noticed golden carriages being flown through the air, it caught everyones eye. They were high enough to see over the trees, and they were being carried, buy ponies. All of our eyes were locked one carriage, after carriage ,after carriage.

"They are bringing in reinforcements!!! We have to attack now!!" A berserker shouted, raising his swords.

"He's right! We need to go before to many come!" I joined him in a motivational weapon raise. Everyone looked at Klum, waiting for his take on this.

"Let's go..." Klum stated, there was a brief moment of silence, then everyone cheered and readied up. We all lined up across the edge of the forest, we were prepared for a procedure like this. I started my team skill....lighting arrows, and so did some other mages. Everyone was ready to fire, we did, the sight of ponies running around was simply amusing to watch. We caused a few fires to the roofs of some homes, and we killed about 6 golden ponies, or guards or whatever. We instantly ran towards the town and prepared to fight, these ponies had decent weapons, armor and everything. Just MAYBE they MIGHT put up a real fight. The sounds of metal weapons connecting at high speeds were heard, I looked around, being cautious of that sneaky rainbow devil. I looked behind me just in time to meet another tackle, it was Rainbow Dash. She had some blue armor on and the helmet made her look like a spartan, she even had holes for her wings too. One thing that I really noticed was the dagger in her mouth, the handle had an engraving on it that said "For Twilight". I pulled a dagger of my own out of my pocket in my robe, it was something I thought about when we were preparing. It never hurt to have a sharp weapon on you, especially if you were a mage, I didn't know why they didn't allow that back at home, it was a clever idea. I pushed her off of me and we charged each other, our daggers clashing together, we were both pushing the daggers as of it was a reversed version of tug of war. She was strong, she did a final push with her wingpower too and I fell to the ground again. I rolled over to evade her stab, her dagger got stuck in the ground.... perfect. I jumped at her and she moved out of the way, she tried to fly away agin but not this time. I quickly jumped onto her, my dagger fell out of my hand, she kept flying though. We were fighting, in the air, she flew over to a cloud and landed on it, she expected me to fall through it. I was standing on a cloud... I was speechless at first but then I remembered what the main goal was, Kill.This.Pony. I didn't jump at her, I knew that she would just move and I would fall to my death. I remembered that we had something the ponies would never understand, infinite lives. We weren't immortal, we just never permanently died. We both dove at each other at the same time, our heads collided in a painful BONK. We both just lay there, trying to recover from the stupid fail. I got up first and jumped on her, I punched her a few times and she jolted up. She couldn't get up because I was on her, she threw her hoof at me and I moved my head back to dodge. I punched her again, blood coming from her nose, I then punched her in the eye. She obviously wasn't blinded and beaten enough to not notice the pegasus guard behind me, she screamed.

"Help!" I turned around to meet a spear to my stomach, I toppled over and groaned, I coughed up blood. "Take that you bastard!!" She then bucked me off the cloud, I fell for a short while, then hit the ground. I conveniently landed on a guard and he was then stabbed. PING,WOMP, I was sprung back to life, I ran over tho the battlefield, and by the looks of it, we were winning. I provided ranged support and burned ponies, also set wind traps in places to blow some back. I saw more carriages being carried through the air, I shot firebolts at them, they crashed to the ground. I didn't see anything crawl out of the wreckage, which was good. The ponies' defenders were being depleted fast, soon we were fighting all the way inside the town.
