TIME- IRRELEVANT

The shot had rang out so damned loud that I thought the very planet itself was going to explode. A loud yelp came from the light blue unicorn, my bullet had made contact. The only problem now was I was out of ammo, and bleeding from that fucking sniper, his round burying itself deep into my right flank just above my cutie mark. Seething mad I managed to squeeze off a 3 round burst in the direction of the shot, killing the sniper and in the process emptying my ammo for my mp-5. "Just fucking great" I thought to myself, blood dripping from my flank and pain starting to creep in. DAMN YOU TRIXIE SHOW YOURSELF! I yelled, but got no response. "I know I got her" I thought to myself, if not me then it had to have been Rainbow Dash, of course after the shot she had been severely wounded and fell from the sky, one wing almost completely gone and laying in a heap on the ground not 10 feet from me.

I dared not move in fear of more snipers; I had nothing to worry about though. If I had known just what lay ahead in that tiny town I would have just galloped in. When I finally got the guts to move out into the open my eyes fell upon a sight I will never in my life forget. It was Ponyville, at least what remained of it anyway the E.L.F had laid waste to any and everything standing; looting and burning just about everything. I went into what used to be town hall only to find, "could it actually be this easy" I thought to myself. It was Trixie, or as she now went by the great and powerful war pony Trixie. She had started this and I was the one assigned to end it. Without hesitation I used my magic to pull my 9mm out of its saddlebag and took close aim at the huddled and now frightened light blue unicorn. "BLAAAM" I flew backwards with a sudden burning in my chest, y,, YOU SHOT ME!!, I yelled at her. She looked at me and took aim again, this time I ducked the shot and took close aim, “BLAAAM BLAAM" I didn’t miss this time. I put 2 rounds from my 9mm through the light blue unicorns head ending her life in 2 muzzle flashes. Trixie was now dead and Gilda was now the leader of the E.L.F, I managed to make my way up to the balcony and waited for her to enter the city by air, Gilda instead entered on foot and quickly made it to the town hall. I waited for her to come up the stairs, and when I heard her coming unloaded the rest of my ammo through the wall. I heard the griffon scream in pain, and fall down the stairs; I quickly followed her down and promptly ended her life as well, and made my way back down stairs.

Tired, bleeding and angry at what it had all come down to I collapsed in a heap on the floor next to dash who was bleeding very badly, but had managed to say 2 words to me. "We did it", to which I responded "yes, yes we did".

*FOOT NOTE*

I woke up a few days later in the Ponyville hospital, no memory of anything that had taken place. I had to read this page to figure it all out.

Finding out that I had put an end to what could only be described by any pony that lived through it as hell at the hooves of Trixie and her army made me ecstatic and sad at the same time. The war had been going on for almost a full year before any pony did anything about it sure the royal guards tried to do their best against the E.L.F, but had failed miserably, forcing the 2 princesses Celestia, and Luna to lock themselves in Canterlot Castle for protection. They weren’t cowards by any meaning of the word rather they would send messages to Ponyville and all of Equestria using Celestia's phoenix Philomena, they would secure notes to her, and the pony folk would get daily updates that way as to what was happening around Equestria.

All the ponies of Ponyville had a role in the new combat zone, the Cakes along with Pinkie were in charge of gathering baked goods from the sugar cube corner to feed the massive army that now resided there, Rarity was in charge of making armor, not really much different from what she already did, and she got a fat government contract out of it as well, Fluttershy being the kindhearted pony she was, was put in charge of the medical team along with Nurse Red heart, and Zecora for her knowledge of potions and remedies, the Apple family was given the task of keeping all the ponies fed, and if needed giving every pony use of their apple cellars in the event of a bomb run by the enemy. The school was now a makeshift barracks housing the military, the fillies, and colts were still allowed to hold school there however, after all and education was a great thing to have in those days. Rainbow Dash had an important job as well, her job was not only to keep the weather clear for the equestrian air force, but to alert every pony to anything that was incoming, or possible threats on the ground, the military armed her with a wing mounted Barrett .50 Cal with a heads up display so she could use the sights in flight, this came in handy more than once, and she became quite adapted to using it. Granny Smith along with Apple Bloom when she wasn’t busy spying would make jam and other assorted goody’s for the troops to help them feel at home, Big Mac being one of the strongest ponies in Ponyville was given a rocket launcher to counter any armor the enemy may have tried to bring over the Ponyville bridge he too became quite a great shot and earned several medals for his duty.

MISSION FAIL- if subject is either killed, or taken hostage

My mission was not only to kill Trixie, but to keep Twilight Sparkle alive. That was what I was told when I got my orders. Under no circumstances are you to let her out of your sight my commander had drilled this into my head on several occasions.

Twilight was the prized student of Celestia herself with vast knowledge of just about anything in the field of magic. in order for her to get anything done now that she was a target on the E.L.F army's list she used her devoted friend and confidant Spike who was a dragon, and Owlowiscious an owl she had adopted as a pet, she would send messages to her friends through both of them, if the ground way was hostile she’d send Owlowiscious, with Dash by his side at all times, if the air was too crowded with Pegasi doing drills, or bombing runs then Spike would go. Infact pets played an important role throughout the war; Applejack on several occasions would be sent out to the rubble of a bombed out place with her faithful dog Wynona and find survivors, or in some cases bodies. It often was a grim task, and a lot of times would get to her but she knew she was doing a great service. The C.M.C also had a part to play in this war; seeing as they were fillies they made perfect spies, they would sneak around and gather Intel on enemy movements through the ever free forest and several other locations.
