PONIES IN ARMS- WAR IN EQUESTRIA

DATE- CLASSIFIED
TIME- IRRELEVANT

How did this whole thing start you ask. About a couple of years back Trixie had come to Ponyville showing off her magic and being quite boastful about it. She had shown almost all of the main 6 up and humiliated them. All that was except for Twilight Sparkle; she had not wanted any part in Trixie’s boasting and was content to just let things work themselves out. That was until 2 young ponies got her involved in a not so good way. They had awoken a sleeping ursa minor thinking it was an ursa major, and led it into Ponyville where the 2 wanted to see if Trixie could defeat it. In the end Trixie ran in fright leaving Twilight to pacify the beast. In the process showing Trixie up and causing a hate to grow inside her. Anywhere she went after this incident she was continually reminded of the event and how powerful twilight was. This hate grew stronger and stronger until one day she couldn’t take it anymore, and started looking in every low place she could find for ponies that were willing to join her in a quest for power. Then it happened she met a griffon named Gilda in a bar one day who overheard her talking about how she had been run out of Ponyville with her tail between her legs. Gilda spoke up and said that she too had been run out of Ponyville by a former friend and how she had always wanted revenge.

The 2 quickly got a small army together Gilda was put in charge of the air wing, and Trixie was in charge of the ground troops. In no time at all they had a huge army of outcasts and low lives who were all looking for some sort of revenge on Ponyville, and quickly started a simple uprising in Equestria. This uprising quickly became a slaughter with the precision air strikes by the griffon air force followed by the almost calculated attacks by the ground forces. They were the mop up crews, they would go door to door in any place they were and either look for recruits, or fillies for deviant behavior and sexual pleasure.

The army had made it all the way to Canterlot in a flash and had in no real battle at all ended up subdueing the royal guards. It was the magic of the 2 princesses that saved them both by blocking any and all access to the castle and Canterlot. The army had an agenda and it was to take over all of Equestria saving Ponyville for very last. The ponies of Ponyville had no escape, and the only one who could do something about this was the mayor of Ponyville. That’s where I and my unit come into the picture.

I really hadn’t planned on seeing any combat in my service in the equestrian National Guard; In fact I was quite content on post in the state of Haywaii on the island of Oatwahu. I mean come on it was paradise. Sun, beaches, and plenty of fillies to romp with. After all I was in the equestrian army so why not take advantage of it all. It wasn’t like there had been a war in years, so why would there be one now? I had to ask that stupid question, I heard the announcement over the radio.

*WE INTERUPT YOUR BROADCAST TO BRING YOU A SPECIAL REPORT FROM THE EBN*

This is not a drill; all units of the equestrian military have hereby been activated and are scheduled for immediate deployment to the mainland. A conflict has broken out in the lands of Equestria. There have been several killings thus far, a group calling themselves the Equestrain Liberation Front has started a war on Equestria saying that it is run by an oppressive government and is not acting in the interests of everypony. They have set their sights now on the sleepy quiet town of Ponyville. The mayor of that town has declared a state of emergency and has asked for assistance from any unit of the EQNG TO HELP OUT. AGAIN THIS IS NOT A DRILL, ALL UNITS OF THE EQNG HAVE HEREBY BEEN ACTIVATED EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY THANK YOU. WE NOW RETURN YOU TO THE MUSIC HOUR WITH DJ PON-3 AND OCTAVIA.

I remember it like it was yesterday, being rushed about like a herd of cattle from one place to the next in preparation for the upcoming deployment. Getting issued armor, canteens, combat packs, holsters for my weapons, and ammunition for both my mp-5 and 9mm, along with everything else that comes along with a deployment.

It really didn’t sink in until we were on the transports heading for the mainland, the Equestrain Air Force overhead led by the Wonder Bolts commanded by both Spitfire, and Soarin. We had a sizeable military and thought we would be home in about a week; yeh right, the minute we hit land the attacks came fast and hard. Gilda’s air wing had advanced warning of our coming, and was ready for us. Within the first few minutes of our landing half the unit was gone, bombed by the unrelenting air wing. Those who managed to make it to land were cut down by a hail of fire from caves, and a mass of fortifications that we hadn’t been ready for, including 3 quad barrel .50cal anti air guns. The anti-air guns made short work of most of our air force killing almost half of them. Those that managed to land safely huddled with us and had to make the rest of the landing on hoof. I was not ready for this by any stretch of the word and vomited quite a bit at seeing all my friends being shot to hell, or blown up by mines; but I somehow gathered the strength to make it to our first objective with what little support I could gather from the beach.

The first objective was a small radar outpost the enemy was using to track us. If we took it out they would hopefully be blind and we could land what was left of our troops. However getting to it proved more difficult than the landing itself, it wasn’t guarded at all, or so we thought until one of my friends started up the hill only to be blown to kingdom come by a hidden mine. "DAMN IT ALL TO HELL, WHY THE FUCK ARE WE EVEN HERE!" I yelled, maybe I was just a tad upset at seeing one of my good friends now a puddle of goo; whatever it was I told one of the few Pegasi that were with me to see if they could fly up the hill just off the ground, and look for any mines that were exposed, and either 1- find a way around them, or 2- fly high enough with rocks and drop them on the mines to detonate them. To my utter shock he agreed, and we made it up the hill that way. He would spot them and we would either wait for detonation, or go around them. We made it to the radar outpost and made quick work of it, tossing a few grenades into it killing the occupants and disabling the radar. The place we had landed was in mid Caulifornia which meant we had a long hard fight just to get to Ponyville ahead of us.
