The Plague Of Equestria
Celestia's Charge
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"We have got to do what ever it takes to remove these hostile threats from Equestria no matter the cost." Celestia ordered talking to a large group of Equestria's most best military leaders that she has ever fought with over the past thousand years.
"We need a plan to hit them hard and remove them, anyone wish to volunteer, one step forward?" Celestia asked while looking through the row of ponies.
There was a moment of silence for a few seconds until a Dark Green Pegasus in a black suit with wings out stepped foward.
"We're preparing an attack against the Stallion region, as well as the testing of our new energy crossbows, fighters, and spaceships, that we have been working on in the past years." The Pegasus stated in a very serious and deep tone.
"That's a good point Rivera, but we need to know a way on how to defeat them." Celestia added proving a very valid point. A Unicorn than stood up and said in his own personal opinion.
"We don't know how strong these machines are, we could be putting our selves at meaningless risk if we move too quickly." the Unicorn said as his part of the discussion.
"Israel is right, it's a known fact that these machines are more advanced and well armored. We have new experimental weaponry, but no place to make them. Manehattan is too far, and Griffion Kingdom, won't allow us, to create arms from there." Rivera stated causing Celestia to put on a face of ignorance.
"Say what you must my friends, but you belong to Equestria now, your no longer from that other world that you used to come from, and Rivera you always had the plans, so now is the time to come up with one." Celestia ordered walking right over to Rivera and looking at him directly in the eye, making the Green Pegasus very unconformable.
"Forgive us for stating this, but we might have one solution, but it could be a suicidal run." A Red Earth Pony stated drawing Celestia's attention away from Rivera.
"What is it Big Mac?" "Well Shining Armor and I met up with some strange being a couple of weeks back, he was wearing a red looking armor, had long black hair, a backwards baseball cap with horns, and a strange looking boomstick.
He wanted me to give you this." Celestia watched as big mac reached into his sattle bag and pulled out a strange looking flat chip with lighting move up and down the platform.
"What is it," asked Israel in a state of shock. "We have no Idea, the strange mechanical being said that he might know." Big Mac replied pointing a Hoof at Rivera, causing the whole room to turn to him.
The object was picked up by Celestia's magic as she walked back to Rivera to show it to him. Rivera stared at it for a few seconds, bringing back horrible memories of Earth, Rivera, and a few other planets, that were Invaded, by these machines. "It can't be. Not on Equestria" He said softly with horror in his eyes.
"The What?" Israel asked in confusion. "The R.F.F.S.7, that;s who was attacking and butering the Hoof Mountains and Wing Ridge in the past several weeks. They are known to be manufactured clone copies of the 21 Continetnal's of Europe, but their planet of origin is unknown."
The Ponies in the room gasped, "These machines Invaded severals worlds they took control of their own world along with all of thier Universe, and since than spreaded out into other galaxies." The other Ponies were now starting to talk amongst each other in a large state of both shock and confusion.
"Silence!" Celestia ordered bringing quiet back to the room, before turning back to Rivera. "What are these R.F.F.S.7. or what ever you call them? Why are they on Equestria?" Rivera's face nearly felt white, Celestia didn't look happy at all on what he had just said. "Answer Me!" She ordered, causing Rivera to snap to his senses.
"I just told you, the Rivera Federation Federation Strike 7, took over, all of their Universe, including a couple of Human planets in the Milky way. Earth herself is being overrun, along with hundreds of other flesh and organic worlds amongst the stars, but I have no Idea on why their here in the land of Harmony." He stated hopping to calm the room down. Celestia's horn magic declined and the object fell onto Rivera's nose.
"Play it." Celestia ordered, Rivera just stared at the object. "But I don't know how to use this thing." Rivera pleaded. "You must other wise we will never know on what is going on here." Shinning armor exclaimed to his left. "Rivera, I'd do what he says." Israel said with a smirk to his right, only to receive a glare from Rivera.
"Alright I'll see what I can do." Minutes passed as Rivera tried to figure out the whereabouts on how to control the object that was frequently known as a Hollow shot.
Finally at around 5:00 in the afternoon he cracked it. "Okay people it's on" Rivera announced as Celestia and the other Ponies circled around him as the surface of the Hollow shot displayed an android on the surface. "That's him that;s the android we saw." Shining Armor said pointing a hoof at it.
"Ponies of this uncharted world, We knew those Genocidal Machines would one day come. They have found your Pony Land among the stars. The R.F.F.S.7. are on Equestria. They will burn this planet, kill millions, Ponies, Dragons, and Griffins alike, and when Equestria Burns there will be nothing left to stand between them... from linking from here to the Invasion Of Earth And Crush it once and for all. You must stop them at all cost. This Is New Harrison sighing off."
After words of said were completed the Android New Harrison disappeared and the Hollow Shot shut down. Their was intense silence in the room.
Celestia closed her eyes for a few seconds than pointed a Hoof towards Rivera. "Rivera you will be living with Twilight Sparkle and Spike again, from now on." Rivera groaned with annoyance.
"Ah come on Celestia, that happened in the 21st Century I was in my 80's, back than." Celestia just looked at him without saying a word. Until her little sister Luna spoke up from behind her. "Can't he just stay with me older sister, We are in a married?"
"I'm sorry little sister not this time. Rivera is going to stay with Twilight Sparkle and Spike from now on, until we get these Hostile machines or R.F.F.S.7. in which he and that strange flat board call it, off our world. We will charge and take the Stallion Fields by force." Rivera's eyes widened after hearing those words and spoke up out of argument.
"Let me stop you right there Celestia, what your saying is suicide. The R.F.F.S.7. are not to be messed with, they will be well entrenched. Blaster Machine Guns, Raider Drop Ships, Rocket Propelled Grenades, Strykers APC, EMP Spires, Rudder-1's, Hell from aboves, and Artillery, You launch a charge you'll lose 98% of your entire military. and the FS7 will have a straight shot into attacking here." Celestia drowned Rivera's warning and without hesitations she turned to Luna and ordered her to escort Rivera to Twilight Sparkle's home.
Luna left the room with Rivera under her wing, and the Green Pegasus looking down. He felt a soft nudge from Luna's hoof. "I'm so sorry." Luna said kissing him on the cheek. "Your sister is in danger, doesn't she know It." They were miry outside the castle as they continued to talk. "I will try everything to stop the charge." Luna said giving Rivera one last kiss, before looking into his eyes. "Just promise me you will not fight or enter those hills." She said looking extremely terrified on her husbands saftey. "Don't worry I won't." Rivera replied as he kissed her hoof and flew in the direction towards Twilight's house. Luna watched as a tear fell from her eye as the Green Pegasus disappeared in the light of the sun.
Back in Ponyville Spike was drawing endless pictures of Rarity, he was looking very board, even though he was trying to overcome this boardom by drawing his crush Rarity on sketch.
"Oh Celestia, It stinks being grounded." He groaned as he continued to move the feather pen across the paper. "Well maybe you will learn next time not to run off on Me." Twilight replied while looking over her book of spells, as Spike sighed with annoyance.
A knock on the door was then heard. "I'll get it!" Spike raced to answer, but was automatically picked up by Twilight's magic, and place, back on his spot with his arms crossed, looking even more annoyed than ever.
"Grounded remember." Twilight reminded as she walked passed with her eyes shut not even looking at him, and used her magic to answer the door. "Hello may I help-" Twilight gasped with her eyes open. when she saw who was at the door.
"It's been a century Sparkle girl." Rivera said with a smile. Twilight's cheeks blushed pink, "Rivera, y-y-your alive. I heard you died in 2045 at age 89." She gasped.
Rivera both groaned and chuckled from that remark, "Are you fooled like everyone else by this phony story," Rivera chuckled while revealing her a newspaper that he came across while on the way to her, reading Rivera dies at age 89 on June 7th 2045.
"What about Godzilla?" Spike asked walking along side Twilight who was too busy staring at Rivera to notice him standing right to her left.
Rivera shook his head slowly in sadness. "He's gone. He died of Monstrous Syndrome at age 94 in 2048, the only thing left now is Israel and I." Rivera stated trying to hold back a few tears.
"Come In here at once you old coot." Twilight ordered as Rivera entered and sat down.
"Old Coot? Ha you haven't changed a bit Sparkle." Rivera teased with a smile at first, but than looked down.
He than felt a hoof go on his chin and move his face toward Twilight. "I'm glad your alive." She said with tears in her eyes. causing Rivera to smile, but didn't forget about the mistake that Celestia was about to do right now.
"Twilight listen, Princess Celestia is planning on attacking Stallion Ridge. We have to stop her." He said looking at her directly in the eyes.
"She's what?!" Spike gasped, from right on his left wing. "Yeah." Rivera replied, "It's going to happen right this minute. In a few Hours from now all of Equestria will be at the Stallion fields." Rivera added on as Spike gasped before jumping from Rivera's wing down to Twilight's back.
"What are we going to do Twilight?" Spike gasped. "We have to get to the Stallion fields. Rivera. can you carry me there." Rivera thought for a minute, he has never carried another Pony on his back before. The only time he did it is when him and Godzilla Team first came to Equestria, in 2035, when he had to always drag Mandy along with him, but this was entirely new to the him.
"Alright hop on." Rivera said, moving his wing down like a ramp so that Twilight can just run up it. After going on his back Rivera took off for the Stallion region as fast as his speed can go. While on the way Twilight secretly smiled and blushed. For the first time she was with him on an evening for the first time.
At around 8:23Pm Rivera landed on the Hoof mountains overlooking the fields. "Awesome!" Spike yelled jumping down on the ground below. "I never thought I'd come back here again." Spike was constantly looking around, getting more excited by the second. "Don't get your hopes up kid, This could be dangerous." Rivera warned, as his eyes shifted from left to right in order to make sure that the area is clear.
"Danger is my middle name." Spike teased throwing punches at Rivera's feet, causing him to smirk for a bit, "I thought it was Dragon." He said with a chuckle causing Spike to groan as just before moving his foot away causing Spike to fall. "Sorry about that."
Spike than giggled when he saw Twilight still on him, She looked as if she was frozen and didn't want to let go of him. "And I also see that Twilight is still on your back. Rivera raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"What?" than noticed that there was hoofs around his neck, in one swift move he jumped up causing Twilight to wake up from her fantasy.
"Oookay Sparkle girl, you can let go now." Rivera told her causing Twilight to laugh historically with a huge blush marks on her face, not knowing they were there already. "Sorry I didn't think we would be here so quickly."
As she jumped off she noticed by looking at the terrain, including the Staging Area, that Rivera, was right. Attacking the ridge would be impossible, but she also knew that there was nothing she can do at the moment.
"Well what are we going to do Twi?" Spike asked walking in front of her. "I-I don't know Spike I'm trying to think of a good plan but I have nothing in mind right now." she said sitting down for a bit. She than turned up and looked at the moon over head.
"This is not good huh Rivera?" She asked, only to receive no response. "Rivera?" She asked turning around only to find out that he was not there.
"Rivera?!" she gasped searching around. "What's up Twilight?" Spike asked walking over to her. "Where is he, where Is Rivera." she asked freaking out Spike while he backed away for a bit.
"He said something about leaving to scout ahead." Spike answered trying to calm the Mare down.
"Scout ahead, like No he isn't come on!" Twilight hollered picking up Spike with her magic and placing him right on her back while galloping towards the ravine ahead following Rivera's path.
Unknown that he was being followed, by Twilight Sparkle, Rivera was shown making his way through the Ravine keeping an eye out for any sign of R.F.F.S.7. Presents that may be in their region.
Little did he realize is that while on patrol he was being watched by a Pegasai on top of one of the walls that surround the mountain pass.
As Rivera moved through every corner of the mountain passing and searching for any signs of danger, the Dark Pony secretly began to follow him and watch his every move, with a large grin forming on her face, however due to the Moon's lack of light only her smirk would be visible at the moment.
After jumping over a large abyss in the pass, Rivera stopped for a second looking around in suspicions. All of a sudden a Streak hit his back and Rivera soon finds himself on the ground with the dark Pegasai on top of his belly, with all 4 of it's hooves on his wings.
"What the? Who the hell are you kid?" Rivera demanded only to be silenced by the Pegasai putting a hoof on his mouth keeping him from speaking anymore. "Thought you could Scare me and get a way with it." the Dark Pegasus spoke, getting Rivera suspicious, It was a female, but he couldn't put his hoof, or should we say claw in the human world on it.
"Get off ya crazy Pegasai" Rivera ordered trying to shake her off while moving left and right along with his wings up and down. "Who are you anyway?" Rivera's mouth was silenced by her hoof again. "You know who I am, old monster man." The dark pegasai replied revealing her face after moving it towards Rivera's where the moonlight would reveal it.
"Damn It Rainbow Dash, You Stupid-" Rivera's mouth was covered again by a giggling Rainbow Dash, "You will speak only when I say you can speak." Rainbow snapped in a teasing way only to be interrupted in just 5 seconds.
"Remove the hooves." Rivera said in a very annoyed state, as Rainbow Dash just continued to chuckle, before saying. "Okay you can speak." "Get off now and I promise I won't kick your ass Later." Rivera demanded while still staring at the young mare.
Rainbow Dash put a Hoof on her chin tapping it multiple times thinking of whether or not to get off of him.
"Hmmm, you played a dirty trick In 2045, you scare me into thinking your dead, and you want me to get off. Hmmmm" Rivera just groaned with annoyance. "I am bigger Don't make this old man shake ya off now, cause I will." Snapped Rivera, who has never been so annoyed in history. Rainbow Dash continued to think, and pretended she didn't even hear him.
As Rivera groaned, He all of a sudden felt a kiss on his cheek that appeared to last a second, he turned in confusion to see Rainbow dash Smiling with pink Cheeks, "Okay I'll Get off..." She hovered in the air and allowed Rivera to get back up.
"What are you doing out here Dash, Princess Celestia has ordered all ponies on the Continent that this area was off limits." Rivera asked while getting up into a sitting position, while watching Rainbow Dash zoomed quickly passed him causing the old monster to look around with even more confusion.
She soon ended up right behind him and rest her front arm hoofs on his shoulders and started to explain."Well a couple of hours ago, I was training with the Wonderbolts for our new race that we were supposed to participate tonight, until the Princess Cancelled it just when it was about to start. So I was flying home saddened and broken hearten until I saw you flying passed the Moon, You can be seen from Miles away just to let you know" Rainbow Dash teased rubbing Rivera's head, before continuing.
"Anyway, I was shocked, I couldn't believe that it was actually you and decided to follow to make sure that my eyes weren't playing any tricks on me, so I saw you land somewhere close on a cliff overlooking Wing Ridge, I saw Spike down and" Rainbow Dash's face was now starting to turn into a very angry Jealous one, as she said her name. "Twilight Sparkle."
Rivera looked at the light blue Pegasus and was stun to see her face change from an angry one to back to the happy one she had when she first saw him. "While Twilight was talking with her number one assistant Spike, I saw you disappear into the canyon, after telling Spike something that I could no longer hear that well. I followed you from above, and that's how We ended up right now." Dash finished off with a smile.
"You are one nosy mare," Rivera said unamused at the fact that she had been spying on the 3 of them for the last 10 minutes. "Yeah I'm Nosy get use to it." Rainbow dash responded back hovering and placing her hoofs on her hips.
"Well since your here you can help me patrol this area while I check to see if they are any sings of R.F.F.S.7. in the Vicinity." Rivera offered as he began to look at her directly in the path where he was going to check next before being tackled by Rainbow Dash.
"R.F.F.S.7? our princess spoke of them at Cloudsdale, What are they." Dashie asked in curiosity as she landed on Rivera's left wing.
"Of course you wouldn't know, Shit!" Rivera groaned to himself, as he stopped in his tracks.
"Well I'm waiting tough monster, spill the beans." Rainbow Dash said after hitting his side in a flirty way.
"If you must know they are very powerful mechanical military founded by the 21 Continentals, according to some of the planets they've attacked. They come from Rivera." Dashie's eyes opened wide when she heard his explanation.
"Wow not only are you a Kauji, your a planet too." "No Rainbow Dash, I'm not a planet, I'm Horace, understand? Horace, Horace Rivera for short." Rivera corrected as they entered a wide open space. "Oh you have a funny name." Dashie admitted scratching her head with her hoof. "Get use to it Dash." Rivera said mimicking her words.
Hours have passed, and the whole region was known to be clear. Rivera & Rainbow Dash later moved upon an old Equestrian wind mill, with sky walks surrounding the building.
"Hmm never saw this here before." Rivera stated while walking a bit closer to take a look. "Clear down here," he said as he began flying towards the top of the sky walks. "What ever this place is it looks likes it's been here forever." Rivera added on looking around the old ruins.
Rainbow Dash remained down on the ground below watching Rivera as he moved through the Sky walks examining the site. A sound caught his attention. "Shit! Hide!" Rivera called to Dashie from the Skywalks, but Rainbow Dash could no longer hear him due to the intense winds blowing around her ears, along with her Mane covering a portion as well while flowing in the wind. "What?!" called Rainbow Dash from down below. "Get outta sight Now Raider's Comin!!"
Rainbow Dash not knowing what he's talkin about did as he directed, after removing her mane from her ear, and entered an old shed. Rivera attempted to dash quickly pass the Sky walks and hide behind a pillar.
He watched as the Raider moved through the air shining it's front wing search lights around the site, but than descended at lower altitude, where it's side doors opened, and out leaped several R.F.F.S.7. forces onto the sky walk. "God Damn It" Rivera snapped in a silent voice, as he watched the Raider disappear behind the rocks.
Rivera cautiously moved in another direction as the R.F.F.S.7. patrol started to move in, he managed to make it pass one squad but an android with a shark head, spotted the green Pegasus and fired his sniper rifle. The laser shot flew right passed his ear getting his attention. "SHIT!!" He cried flying into the air while dodging fire from the patrols.
Startled at what's going on outside, Rainbow Dash heard the sounds and slowly peeped open the door seeing that Rivera was in trouble. Growling she flew outta of the shed and up to the sky walks above.
Rivera managed to destroy 4-5 FS7 soldiers, but he knew that he couldn't fight them off and evade laser fire all at the same time.
Rainbow Dash cut through 4 other FS7 forces getting their attention towards her. They attempted to shoot down the Cyan Pegasai, but Rivera came from behind and smashed the 2 into each other with both his hoofs.
Another Android attempted to shoot Rivera in the back but was destroyed by Rainbow Dash. "Thanks Dash." Rivera said as he looked down at the destroyed androids. "That's the last of them, we better keep moving." Rivera than added, but just as he was about to move passed the sound of a female pony calling his name in the far distance, forces him to stop in his tracks.
"Whats wrong?" Dashie asked in a worried tone placing her hoof on his side. "Twilight Sparkle, I forgot about her." Rivera groaned placing a hoof on his nose in annoyance on his stupid mistake.
Rainbow Dash just glared at another distance, "Well why don't you get her?" she stated without even looking at him. "No need, the sounds of her voice obviously state that she will be here in 3...2...1...." Before Rivera knew it Twilight and Spike ended up in the site shocked to see the damaged done from the FS7 patrols.
Rivera walked up to the edge of the sky walk, and looked down to see Twilight and Spike looking up at him. "Glad to see that you 2 decided to join us." He welcomed, as Twilight tel ported her and Spike onto Rivera's level, on the cat walks where Spike jumped off.
"Rivera next time your going to go some where at least tell me.." Twilight snapped pointing a hoof up at his nose, Rivera just stared in confusion at first, but Rainbow Dash's words drew his attention to her.
"Hey Twilight you leave him alone." Twilight turned to see Rainbow Dash walking up to them in a very upset manner. "He just went through a fire fight with 20 FS7 androids."
"Rainbow Dash what are you doing all the way out here at this time of night, and what is this FS7?" Twilight asked even more confused now. Rivera sighed with annoyance and was about to explain again, but was surprised that Rainbow Dash told it to her instead. "They're the machines we fought back in Jackle Town, they're dangerous and fearless."
"Thank You Rainbow Dash" Rivera said with a sign of relief of her sparing him the trouble of saying it. "Well good for you, but still next time tell me." Twilight added putting her hoof on Rivera's chest. Rainbow Dash growled at what she was seeing but played it cool.
The sound of a Raider came back again. "Shit all Ponies and dragon, get to cover It looks like the FS7 heard those shots." Rivera ordered as all 4 went into separate spaces for cover. 3 more Raiders arrived at the site and dropped of more FS7 patrols. Rivera fired his heat blast as soon as the FS7 hit the ground followed by Twilight with a magical blast and Rainbow Dash who moved to the Raiders drawing their fire away.
Spike just responded to them by throwing rocks at the patrols. At one point Rainbow Dash managed to draw the Raiders away, and performed a special trick which got the drop ships to shoot each other. She watched as the 2 Raiders plunged down below with a smile sure of her victory. "2 down one to go," she said while smirking at the other Raider that was coming up behind her and fired repeated laser turrets, Rainbow Dash moved through the sky missing the Laser turrets, however as the turret fired the shot flew about 2 inches from her face, freaking the young Pegasai out.
She than attempted to kick the Dropship, but the only thing she got was a battered leg. *Ouch!! What are these things made off!!* Seeing that an android has her in his scopes he fires a shot, but a rock from Spike hits the android causing him to miss fire.
Rivera seeing that Rainbow Dash was in trouble in fighting the last Raider, came up with another strategy in order to try and destroy the Drop Ship. Seeing this as an opprutunity. Rivera, grabbed an R.F.F.S.7. Assault rifle from the ground, that read ARK-74, on it's side.
While flying at fast speed towards Rainbow Dash, while Twilight handled the rest of the patrol on the ground. Rivera entered the drop ship's transport section, shot through the doorway, and killed the pilot.
Before the pilot shut down, he activated an strange looking flat box that looks similar to a Tabe meaure only with a horn on the end, and dropped it on the ground. Rivera confused at first, is unfazed at this until the sounds of a bomb is heard.
*Oh God!!* At fast speed Rivera leaps out of the drop ship, as it explodes from behind, "Wahoo, we whooped their butts." "We sure did" called out Spike who jumped onto Twilight's back.
"Great job ponies and dragon, Now lets head on over to the-" The sound of a horn was coming from the distance. Rivera gasped and flew over the Region seeing a large army of Ponies both Night and sun alike entering the region. He also noticed that the sun was starting to come up. "Ah Crap!" Rivera cried.
Rainbow Dash flew next to him. "What's going on?!" "Celestia is here. Ours skirmishes with the Patrols all the way up here kept us from reaching the field first." Rivera answered while staring at the advancing army down below. "Oh Celestia." gasped Dashie covering her mouth with her hoofs.
"Christ they'll be slaughtered. We gotta get down there, Go to Twilight Sparkle, and tell her we're going down to at least try to aide the charge." Rivera instructed as Rainbow Dash raced back to the cliff to tell Twilight.
Rivera dove downwards and began to blend in with the forces by remaining in the back ranks. Twilight, Spike, and Rainbow Dash appeared after a teleport spell soon.
The 4 watched as the Army of Ponies later began to move quicker at fast speed, which later turned into to galloping charge, towards the R.F.F.S.7. military staging area directly ahead. "I don't like this" Spike gasps, "No matter what happens stay with me!" Twilight ordered as the 4 approached the field directly ahead.
The main target for Celestia's counter attack was to take out the EMP spires located along the valley ridge. It is important to note that Celestia did not know what the main purpose of the spires. The Mane 6 led the attack on Spire One, deactivating the EMP shield, by kicking it with their hoofs. This allowed the The Lunar Empire to provide air support to destroy A large FS7 Garrison, of MG.42 Nests, and Artillery on the nearby High Grounds, with the use of Magic.
A massive Joint Lunar and Celta force stormed the Stalion plains towards the FS7-occupied site, attempting to reclaim the land and eliminate all FS7 presences from Equestria. Rivera, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Spike rushed to the high grounds destroying several defenders before arriving at a large Anti Air Battery that was destroying much of Princess Celestia's advance.
"Rainbow Dash, you and Twilight hold here, Spike your with me," Rivera ordered as him and Spike entered the turret and reached the core. Rivera handed Spike a core bomb. "What is this thing?" he asked.
"When i give the signal throw it at that large white Sphere than run out a fast as your feet can go." Rivera implied, activating the Core bomb's time race.
"NOW!" He yelled as Spike tossed it into the Sphere, causing it to stick on the side, the 2 Ran for cover and regrouped with Twilight and Rainbow Dash outside. "Stand Clear!!" Rivera called out ordering the 2 to leave. The Turret got destroyed from behind causing a massive blaze to shoot into the sky, and allowing the Advance to proceed.
while Princess Luna and Celestia provided support from their Falcon Their first major experimental drop ship.
The assault was soon confronted by heavy FS7 units, which officially spread-ed all over Stallionfields. Twilight and Rivera avoided the onslaught by proceeding to the via bridge access, which was destroyed by a large group of FS7 DJ's. "That was close." Spike gasped while coughing a bit from the sand mixed with smoke.
"Come on let's move. before they fire a second round of RPG's" Rivera urged, while coughing some dust himself, as they continued on.
"What dose RPG Mean," Twilight demanded, Nearly almost missing a blast from FS7 Artillery from the far field. "Rocket Propelled Grenades, and trust me when I tells ya Sparkle Girl, you don't wanna be hit by them." Rivera answered as they made their way up the hill towards the E-Dollar Mining Facility straight ahead.
"The Equestrian Dollar facility, No wonder we had to use Bits again." Spike said surprised as he saw the entire facility was under R.F.F.S.7. control, "Looks like those stallions could use our help." Rainbow Dash added pointing a hoof down below, towards the fight on the bridge.
"Than help we shall give them, Come one!" the 4 of them leaped down towards the cliff, where they charged the bridge evading laser fire and rockets as best as they can.
After Successfully making to the other side, the 4 managed to clear the area as quickly as possible in order to allow the main force that was pinned down on the other side of the bridge, to move forward.
"I hope we won here." Twilight said, as she looked at Rivera, who gave her a wink, as if he was saying we did, but not yet.
With no other alternatives of entering the Spire site. "We take out that Spire we will cripple their defenses" Rivera instructed as he moved ahead. Unfortunately Rainbow Dash was shot in the left wing causing her to spin out of control "MY WING MY WING!!" She crashed into Rivera, first than down onto the ground below.
Rivera regained conscience despite the hard hit, too the ground, and managed to rush over to her aide and offered her his Hoof. "You alright kid? here I'll help ya up." Rainbow Dash Blushed as she grabbed his hoof and got back up. Spike managed to fall safety on the grass.
Despite injury Rainbow Dash continued with Rivera and Spike up toward the Spire. The pair continued fighting their way into the structure, Rivera managed to deactivate the structure's shielding system.
Cleared of defenses, Princess Celestia now sensing victory calls in a Pega strike executed by the DSS Celestia, the first major battle Ship in Equestrian history.
"Great job Ponies and Dragon, with the Spire gone, their last defense is also gone.," Rivera said cheering on the ponies and Spike.
Little did Rivera known, that The spire's purpose was soon realized as a cloaking device for a Newly constructed FS7 Carrier in low orbit above Equestria. Upon being discovered, the FS7 Super carrier proceeded to obliterate the attacking Joint forces, destroying Celestia's heavy frigate, the DSS Celestia with one of its energy projectors, and forcing The ponies to gasp on the size of the ship.
"Whoa what is that thing?!" Spike gasped "I don't know I've never seen it before," Rivera admited while stairing at the thing for a few seconds before the Carrier, retreated into FS7 held space in orbit above Equestria. .
"This is bad." Rivera gasped, before turning to Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Spike. "I don't like this, why would it leave for no reason?" Rivera wondered looking at Twilight, who just shrugged.
"We gotta get outta here now." "Why we're winning" Twilight suggested until she was cut off by a loud booming sound that came from the sky. Rivera looked up and gasped. "Oh god their here." 3 Ships arrived in the skies above the Stallion region and was slowly making it's way to Celestia's side of the battle field.
"What are those things?!" Rainbow Dash gasped, while Rivera answered in a very low pitched voice. "The T-T-Tartarus, The Dagger, and, The J-Jupiter II, " Rivera said in fright as he noticed the 3 ships glowing dark purple lights under the ships, and later released a large orbital bombardment of the whole field.
The entire Lunar Empire was killed by the millions in the glassing, reducing Princess Luna's casualty rates, to the highest levels in Equestrian history.
Rivera quickly turned to the others, and back ti the field which was now a fiery inferno. "I knew this was going to happen I warned the Princess." Rivera snapped to himself staring at the ground. "But dose she listen? No, she never dose." Twilight and Rainbow both placed their hoof's on his back trying to comfort him, as Rivera turned up again to look at the horrors left by the Tartarus, Jupiter II And Dagger.
Now In complete Panic the Lunar Empire mixed with the Sun Empire began to drop their Swords, and run, while the FS7 Chased after from right behind. Princess Celestia who watched from Hoof Ridge about 20 Miles from the Stalion Fields witnessed as the FS7 Glass Ships reduced the entire Field to Fire, along with 88% Of the Lunar Empire. Anger Boiled deep within her heart.
