WELCOME TO LAS PEGASUS

WHERE ALL YOUR DREAMS COULD COME TRUE

I remember reading that sign like it was just yesterday, if they meant nightmares than yes they did come true. We fought our way out of Caulifornia and into hell, even though I was only a private I found myself in charge of a sizeable force consisting of 4 Pegasi, a sniper, 2 heavy weapons ponies, a mine clearing pony, and a machine gun pony with both a saw, and an m-240. I was quite happy with myself. These were the very same ponies that had been with me when we destroyed the small radar outpost. Tired weary and thirsty you could only imagine our thoughts of luck when we happened upon Las Pegasus. Our hopes were short lived though, the place had been burned, looted and raised to the ground bodies of ponies lay about the streets, and there was an uneasy feeling as though we were being watched. I ordered my sniper to take up a good position and look for any movement in the deserted city. Next I deployed the 2 heavy weapons ponies to a secure area overlooking the city to keep an eye on the air. The mine clearing pony was already at work clearing any mines that happened to be in our way as we slowly made our way through the city. The machine gun pony stuck with me along with the 4 Pegasi. It was a scary position to find myself in, and I didn’t like it one bit. "BLAMM BLAAMM", 2 shots rang out of nowhere, my sniper pony alerting me to the fact that indeed we weren’t alone. I quickly gathered everypony and we found a shelter from which to deploy the proper tactics in this situation.

I sent one of the Pegasus ponies into the air with cover fire from the machine gun pony to draw out the attacker. It worked like a charm, and my sniper pony was able to take out the enemy pony. If only it had ended there, I did the only thing I could think of at the moment and yelled into the destroyed city. “COME OUT AND SHOW YOURSELVES YOU COWERDS, WHO IS IN THERE?" I yelled, yeh in hindsight not the greatest of ideas, "pop,pop,pop pop,pop, pop" gunfire suddenly erupted all around us. We ducked and returned what fire we could, not knowing where the fire was coming from or from whom, until we heard a voice in the street say to us "WHO IN THE FUCK ARE YOU, AND WHY ARE YOU HERE?", to which I yelled back, "MY NAME IS PVTREAD OF THE EQUESTRIAN NATIONAL GAURD, YOU ARE SURROUNDED SHOW YOURSELVES AND YOU WILL NOT BE HURT". I had hoped that threat that had absolutely no merit would garner a response, and to my shock it did.

I suddenly found myself along with my small unit overwhelmed with not the enemy which I was certainly ready for. The ponies in the city actually turned out to be a rather sizeable resistance force who had driven out what was left of the enemy army using weapons and armor they had gotten off of the first wave that came through. I asked their leader if there were any supplies in the city, and a place for my small tired unit to sleep for the night and he said yes. Taking into consideration that my sniper had killed one of them, their leader surprisingly understood and agreed to us giving the fallen resistance pony a proper funeral, he even told us where we could find some water.

We were all on edge since the encounter, and everypony had a sickening feeling in their gut that something bad was about to happen. "THERE IN THE SKY ABOUT 4 OCLOCK" I heard one of my heavy weapons ponies say. "DAMN IT TO FUCKING HELL" I thought to myself. Great just fucking great my unit was in no shape for an air attack, we had barely any ammo for the rocket launcher, and the Gatling gun was out. You could only imagine my thoughts and the thoughts of everypony in the burned out city when 2 Pegasi landed in front of all of us. "Oh sorry everypony" the grey Pegasus pony wearing a mail satchel on her back said. "Allow me to introduce myself and my companion, I’m Derpy Hooves of the Equestrian Postal Service", "and I’m Rainbow Dash, her well for lack of a better word bodyguard". Everypony laughed at this when the one calling herself a bodyguard pulled and old rusty beat to shit .22cal out of a bag she had on her back. "Really,, really,,, you have got to be joking me" I told her. She looked at me cross and with a serious look on her face. "I have killed my fair share of the enemy with this here gun of mine". It was all I could do to not laugh my ass off at the serious looking Pegasus pony, "Your serious aren’t you?" I asked her. "Yes,, yes I am" she said. With that I called the 4 combat ready, tough, and tired air force ponies over to me to give her a once over. "Yup I think that’s an awesome idea" one said to the rest of them. With that Dash got a complete combat pack and a new weapon. They gave her an under wing Barrett .50 cal along with a small heads up display so she could use the sights on the rifle. I along with the rest of the greatly increased force I now had would teach Rainbow Dash all we knew about combat and tactics. It was then that she told us about the dire situation throughout Equestria, and how she and Derpy were the only ones who were brave enough to face the challenges of the situation so mail service would continue throughout Equestria.

Rainbow Dash told all of us about the day she had acquired the rusty .22cal rifle, and how it had almost cost her everything. She and Derpy were on a mail run when out of nowhere they were ambushed by a member of the griffon air wing and were forced to land. Surrounded and with really no escape they had to fight out of the situation, and fight they did. Bucking, biting, doing whatever it took to get away, in the process almost being shot by that very same gun. Dash had kicked the weapon out of the mouth of the earth pony in doing so made her very first kill ever, knocking out the teeth and breaking the jaw of the attacker, she took the gun. Not knowing how to use the damn thing and nearly shooting her own hoof off, but then taking a deep breath and aiming the weapon at the quivering pony blew her brain out with a loud pop. "Well Dash" I said "this weapon has a bit of a kick to it, but it’s a lot more powerful and accurate than that rusty thing, oh speaking of that here you go" I handed her weapon back to her cleaned and polished even with the letters RD etched in the handle along with plenty of ammo for both weapons. I talked to both Dash and Derpy for a long time, seeing as I had grown up in Ponyville and as it turns out had gone to school with the 2 of them "small world" I thought to myself. I asked them about the situation in Ponyville, and the news made my insides turn. Ponyville had become a refugee stop for all of Equestria, and a gathering place for spies, criminals, resistance fighters, mercenaries, and those running from the violence in Equestria. Great just what we need in this mercenaries, "FUCK" I thought that means one thing and one thing only, getting around is going to be a bitch.

Our time in Las Pegasus had come to an end, in all reality it actually hadn’t been hell it was actually almost the closest thing to a break in the fighting we had seen in quite some time, our hosts bid us a fond farewell. Rainbow Dash, and Derpy were now with us, "OH SHIT, DAMN IT HOW COULD I BE SO STUPID" that thought suddenly raced through my head. Pulling out my orders I read through them all and my eyes stopped on one right away, I ordered the unit back to Las Pegasus in a flash.

Upon reading this I showed the orders to Rainbow Dash who was shocked and surprised, but was willing to stay with us. Derpy was more than welcome to join us as well and she did. She was armed and equipped with a combat pack, and an under wing rifle as well. This added 2 more air assets to my small outfit which was great for me. Dash proved to be quite a shot with the rifle she had been fitted with, and added a bit of extra air cover when needed. Derpy became the unofficial mail pony for the military, and was very happy to finally be serving her country in a way that didn’t often involve being chased by a dog, or yelled at for accidently delivering the wrong mail to some pony. She also became quite a shot and in no time flat I had 6 aces with me. They worked in teams and scored several kills this way, they would draw out the attackers and the rest of the unit would take action, the sniper keeping the enemy’s head down and unable to fire, while the air support would bomb the place they were hiding. The Pegasus ponies even became quite adapted to air combat as well each shooting down 13 enemy fighters.
