We were attacked a bit here and there for a few days. Those were simply poking attacks looking for any weakness in our defenses needless to say there were none; we were very well protected and were able to defeat all the attackers. If only I knew what they were really doing, I would have had some pony collect all the fallen ammo, and armor but I didn’t think of that until I saw the enemy doing that very same thing. "DAMN IT, FUCK GRAB WHAT YOU CAN OFF OF THE ENEMY THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE US RUN OUT OF AMMO" I yelled to my unit. They all went out to collect the ammo, armor, and whatever else they could collect. Shots rang out all over the place and suddenly I heard the one thing I never wanted to hear. INCOMEING AIR UNITS 2, 3, 4, AND 5 OCLOCK" my machine gun pony on the balcony of the library yelled to me this chilling report. "Don’t worry they aren’t coming this way, they are on the outskirts of town" he told me. "Where are they?" I asked, he told me that they were on the outskirts of town and I just ran. I got to the hospital and found Applejack who was already getting ready to run outside and into the barrage. I pulled her tail with my entire mite and stopped her from going out and getting herself killed. "Look Applejack" I said, "you going out and getting yourself killed will never accomplish anything, just wait for the bombing to stop and then we’ll all go out and check on what has happened ok". She looked at me with tears in her eyes and agreed "ok I’ll wait" she said. Another night and more attacks, this time the ever free forest was lit up by a flair, and there was a pop in the forest. As it turned out, that that pop was one of my spy fillies’ being shot and killed. Well she hadn’t been instantly killed, and was trying to make it to the bridge and her older brother. She made it to the center of the bridge and was instantly scooped up by BigMac, and rushed to the Ponyville hospital. Fluttershy was already at work helping the panting and bleeding filly stay calm. Applejack rushed past me followed by Rarity who had a shotgun in tow levitated by her magic. I yelled for the 2 ponies to stop, but they said nothing and kept running "TOPSHOT COVER THOSE 2 PONIES DAMN IT!!!!" with that the sniper pony of mine was off in a flash and ran into the forest to climb a tree. The gunfire in the forest went on all night long; no griffon air wing came in to see what was happening and instead let the E.L.F ponies fight it out on their own. The next day Applejack and Rarity came out of the forest rarity levitating several weapons and other supplies.
That night had done something to Applejack and made her become a killing machine. I sent a cleanup crew into the forest and was stopped by what I saw. Ponies, piles and piles of dead ponies most with kicked in heads and broken ribs, the rest just shot to hell with the shotgun. All I could do was stare and clear the bodies out of the forest, that day every pony went to see Apple Bloom and wish her well. The yellow filly was on life support and gave a weak smile to me, and said these words to me. "They are planning something big I, I tried to get in close but I broke a twig, next thing I knew I felt a sting in my side, and just started to crawl to the Ponyville bridge". Apple Bloom died that night and was buried in the Ponyville cemetery; acting under my own accord I placed a medal on her grave. I then thought back to the message she had given me, I stopped all spy activity to spare the lives of the remaining 2 CMC. "They are planning something big huh" I thought, another night another small battle. This time the bombing was closer, and a sniper pony had managed to get into Ponyville shooting several ponies and staying the whole night long not allowing any movement in the town. The bombing was close and knocked out one of our generators, I was going to try to fix it but Twilight was scared, so I had to send another pony to fix it. This just happened to be the night that I and twilight ended up rutting. I have a tendency of losing time and I know I have put that it was the final night of the attack on Ponyville in another journal entry, and would just like to correct this mistake. The final fight for Ponyville would begin about 4 days after the night we rutted.
It all started with the bridge coming under attack. The fight was brutal and in the end the defenses fell leaving the guards to abandon the bridge, and allow the E.L.F to cross. in fear of being killed the guards jumped off the bridge and into the water below, BigMac stayed behind to allow the 2 other ponies he was with to escape, in the process he was severely wounded. BigMac stood his ground until he was told by the other 2 ponies he was with to just abandon the bridge. Having been severely wounded the big red stallion was able to make it to the hospital. Zecora knowing just what to do went out into the forest and started collecting plants, and other things she needed for a pain reliever, when she was shot by a sniper, she fell where she was. Derpy was at work collecting letters and notes from ponies wanting to get messages to their families, and was in mid-flight over the forest, when a burst of anti-air broke out. Derpy ducked this and returned to Ponyville "DAMN YOU DERPY DONT GO GETTING YOURSELF KILLED" I yelled but she didn’t listen and was cut down trying to collect a letter from a member of my unit the scream of pain was disheartening and one of my Pegasus ponies went immediately to her aid only to also be cut down also.
This time the entire griffon air wing came in along with none other than Trixie. They meant business and quickly over ran the town guns blazing and ponies falling left and right. I gathered whatever ponies remained from my unit and told them to hold the town hall and protect the mayor and her family. It was no use though and the E.L.F quickly surrounded the town hall. My sniper pony was a great shot and he made quick work of quite a few of the enemy until his position was given away by a flair, he was quickly executed and that put an end to me having sniper capabilities. In all of the confusion my mine clearing pony was caught in the open and taken out by a sniper who had taken top shot’s spot, and was already proving to be a problem taking out any pony that came near town hall where Trixie had the mayor hostage. I ordered what little troops I had into the ever free forest to clear it out and went with them to do so. The bridge having been bombed from the air was a treacherous crossing now and threatened to collapse under us. We made it to the edge of the forest and set up our position with whatever weapons we had on us, all the time Ponyville was being bombed. Dash and the rest of the air wing that she had created were proving their worth in spades, knocking the enemy from the air as they came in. After clearing the forest we turned back to Ponyville and across the now weakened bridge, where we saw a sight that none of us would ever forget. Ponyville was in ruins, and worst still Trixie was holed up in town hall. Dash was flying above the destruction and taking out several enemies along with what remained of the air wing of ours. It was a disaster "war in Ponyville death, destruction, and so much damage" I thought to myself. "FOR WHAT AND WHAT IS THIS ACCOMPLISHING TRIXIE" I yelled into the now empty town. Trixie actually answered and yelled back, "BECAUSE I WANT ALL THE POWER THERE IS TO HAVE. I AM NOW A POWERFUL WARPONY AND I WILL RULE OVER THIS LAND." She had exposed herself just a bit when a shot rang out; I wasn’t sure if it was from me or Dash because she was right above me. Either way I heard a loud yelp come from the light blue unicorn, and thought it was a good time to enter town hall when out of nowhere that dammed sniper got me, the bullet lodging into my flank just above my cutie mark. Not 2 seconds later Dash fell out of the sky 10 feet from me, she had gotten the sniper to expose himself for a brief instant, enough for me to squeeze off a 3 round burst killing him. I made it into the town hall and found my target hiding under a desk. "GOT YOU NOW BITCH" I yelled at her and took aim, a shot rang out and I was sent flying backwards, a massive pain in my chest. "Y,, YOU FUCKING SHOT ME" I screamed at her in pain. Gathering what little strength I could and levitating my 9mm, I aimed at her head and pulled the trigger Trixie had been neutralized now came Gilda. I climbed to the top of the town hall tower and waited for her, holding that sniper rifle and plenty of ammo. Gilda was smart though and came in on foot, she had entered town hall and was on her way up to the tower where I was. She had just seen me take out Trixie and was laughing loud and almost evil. "FINALY THAT DUMB TRIXIE IS DEAD, I WILL TAKE OVER AND DESTROY THIS PATHETIC TOWN AND ALL OF EQUESTRIA WILL BE MINE." At that thought I was enraged and went to confront her. Bleeding and half-conscious I managed to hide behind the tower door, the shots rang out as she opened the door, and I heard her scream and start to fall down the stairs. I followed her down the stairs and put one round right in her forehead ending her life as well. I went outside and in my weak state gave the all clear, and collapsed in a heap near Rainbow Dash who was bleeding profusely but smiling at me. "WE DID IT" she managed to say to me smiling "YES WE DID" I weakly said back to her.
The battle for Ponyville had cost the lives of ten ponies and Applejack's beloved dog. I personally lost 4 out of my small unit. Thunderbolt had been killed during the final battle for Ponyville giving air support to town hall. Turbo was caught out in the open trying to find cover from the sniper when he was taken out by him. Glory was killed giving turbo covering fire and was cut down by the sniper as well. Top shot my friend and close buddy was killed when his sniper position was lit up by a flair, and Ace was killed trying to give Derpy support in her efforts to collect the last words of several ponies that night. Derpy Hooves was a real hero to me; still doing her duty to the ponies of Equestria in the face of a war and was subsequently awarded the equestrian Medal of Honor for her service. Applejack's beloved dog had been killed as they were searching a bombed out building when the structure collapsed on her. BigMac survived his wounds for a couple of days following the attack on the bridge but lost the battle for life due to the severity of his wounds. Zecora was found in the forest with a satchel containing the pain medication meant for BigMac with a bullet through her neck. Spike the dragon had been killed while protecting the doors to the library from attack, and finally Apple Bloom who was killed while trying to spy on the enemy.
The war had cost every pony that lived through it something. Pinkie had been shot in the flank by a low Caliber gun and lost some feeling. Dash now had a mechanical right wing, Applejack was now beside herself in despair, and Rarity was a financial wreck now due to extreme damage to her boutique. Town hall was in shambles and worst still, missing a lot of important ponies for the government who had fled before the attack. I was in Ponyville hospital for almost a full month with 2 bullet wounds, one to the flank and one to the chest along with now having a mechanical right front leg, and hoof due to not even knowing that I had stepped out of the town hall and on to a mine, which in return had nearly blown my leg off. I was already in so much pain and losing so much blood that I didn’t even feel any of this.
It was about a week later that the 2 princesses came to Ponyville to survey the damage and to assess the situation. Those who remained in the town gathered and greeted them both. I along with the few that were left in my unit was awarded medals and other things. The citizens of Ponyville also were awarded as well for defending the town. To me it was all a waste, both of money and life. "Why did it have to come to this" I thought to myself, as the princesses talked to Applejack and the rest of who remained of her family. Watching the tears just stream for her eyes along with the 2 alicorns and hugging each other.
