Equestrian War II
Chapter 2: Two Sides of the Coin
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs the war rages in the Ponicific, all of us in Europony have our own problems.
As the Gerpon Mare-macht makes its way into the heart of Stalliongrad, they slaughter millions of innocent lives, only to further their agendas. I serve under Captain Rezsnout, a decorated war hero, and my name is Nikolai Ponlinski.
I awaken to no more than five crows in a four hoof radius from where I lay, I remain still, and scan my general area. Gerpon patrol, a tank: Panzer, five to ten hoof soldiers, and one mounted flak turret gunner on the Panzer. The hoof soldiers scan the plaza fountain for any wounded, those that they find they kill. I got lucky, they had no idea that I was remaining. As they pass I start crawling to the other side of what potentially could have been my grave and as I prone my way to the far side I hear:
"Shh... Do not make any sudden movements or sounds, and follow me."
As soon as he spoke I knew it was Rezsnout, sharing the same place of abandon as I had, we crawled for no more than 7 hooves and lay upon a shattered piece of the fountain.
"Here, take my rifle. My hoof is wounded and I cannot take aim, you will do it for me. Do not load the chamber yet, just look. You see that decorated mudak? That is fascist SS general Ponrich Amsel, and that rat no longer deserves to draw breath. Do not shoot, we must wait for the right moment, otherwise our chance will be forever lost. Wait for a mark you'll know at the sound of, then take your shots on the patrol. "
