The Plague Of Equestria
Fall of Canterlot
Previous ChapterAbout 5 Days after the failed charge at Stallionfields, The FS7, now massed well armed and dangerous, began to march from the shattered wasteland of the Stallionfields into the Hoof Mountains, where they began to exterminate any signs of life that was located in the mountains.
Dragons in the Dragon kingdom that lay just on the otherside of Equestria were attacked by the FS7 Invasion, and were easily wiped out by the Invaders, out of about 3,000 Dragons, only 22 managed to escape the fires of their crumbling home, as it fell withing hours.
Dragon Princess Gotha, was fatelly wounded in the large skirmish, but was rescued by Rivera who manged to fly in and pull her out, causing him to get shot in the wing, and spin out of control where he landed some where in a small ravine below. After occupying Fangtown, The FS7, ended up occupying the Hoof Mountains opening up the way to Equestria up ahead.
Dictator Highland however oredered the FS7 to attack the capital of Canterlot, that was located on the rim of the Mountains, which would be able to open up the road to the rest of Equestria and split the continent in half.
Rivera & Gotha attempted on stoping the FS7 Advance by destroying the Alicorn Bridge that was located In Jades Ridge, but the FS7, still managed to get passed the Mountians with the help of Raider Dropships, including the Murdur of Princess Gotha who later sacrificed herself in order to save Rivera who was about to be shot in the back by an FS7 Sniper hidden in the ridge.
The death of Gotha has been very difficult to Bear, This FS7 Presence in The Hoof Mountains started to get outta hand and Rivera was forced to leave, and retreat back to Canterlot where he warned Princess Celestia in a high pitched voice. "The FS7 Are Comin, The've just taken both the Hoof Mountains and Fangs Town." After hearing such words Princess Celestia order what Defenses she had in order to guard Canterlot with their lives.
Rivera than rushed to Princess Luna, who was worried sick and welcomed him with huge open hoofs. "Princess U've got to get outta of here, they're coming" Rivera ordered as he looked behind at the nearby flashes that can be heard from a mile away.
"I won't leave you!" She cried, but a near miss fire from a Raider, almost hits both, as Twilight Sparkle ran into the room and responded by a blast of her horn. "Back off!!" She cried as the blast struck the gunner on the MG.42 turret, just as the Raider was retreating away.
"Thanks Twilight, alright now let's go their coming!" Rivera said, as him Luna and Twilight raced out of the room.
The army of FS7 Invaders was made up of 800,000 Androids, 200,000 Rudder-1's 300,233 Strykers, and about 22-32 Raider Dropships, and Helos. they arrived in the middle of the night, by both ground and Air A large FS7 fleet hovered over the mountains of about 5 Hail Arora Class Destroyers, and 2 Star Arora Class Cruisers, landed forces too reinforce the ground Invasion, than remained on stand by until ordered too engage.
The FS7 quickly overran the first defence of the Canterlot city, but sustained many losses in it "filling up the dike to the top" towards Canterlot Castle.
After moving past the mountains, and overrunning the cities destroying them by endless air attacks, the FS7 approached the Canterlot Castle, from there. they sent laser's into the Castle.
The FS7 soon got close enough to Castle doors and attempted to break the gate down with Strykers, but were scattered by a small attack team led by Princess Luna and Princess Celestia from a postern-door that ran between the brink of the cliff and the wall of Canterlot.
After the team had driven back the FS7 for a short time, and destroyed the Stryker, Hunters, than arrived covering the gate with Proton fire, but Unicorns struggled too hold back the Proton fires, causing some too knock out, from the intense pain The Hunters were than silenced by Rivera, forcing them too pull back and allow the Unicorns too regain there strength.
The team retreated from the new assault upon the gate. While running back, two FS7 who had faked their deaths knocked Godzilla to the ground. As Rarity and Princess Celestia ran back to save him, a hidden Rainbow Dash hewed FS7's heads saving Godzilla and giving Rainbow Dash his first two kills to Pinkie Pie twenty.
Raider Dropships soon showed up out of the cluds, and used Orbital Lifts to raise hundreds of ladders to scale the Deeping Wall, the worn-out defenders threw down the ladder attacks, but were attacked from behind by Rudder 1's that had breached the outer defenses, through the culvert at the base of the wall.
Rainbow Dash and Applejack with a unit of ponies from the West attacked the FS7 Infantry who got through the hole. Despite a well defense, RHM Uunga arrived over the battle and Orbital Bombarded the field destroying 13% Of the Castle's West wings, including Princess Celestia's throne room.
By leaving a large Gap the FS7 Infantry invaded the Castle's west wing With Rudder-1's rolling into the Hallways breaking through walls, and firing at any pony in the west. On the east Raider dropships, soon arrived over the field again and began too pound the Castle by air cover, along side Helo's.
These acts of attacks weakened the walls western side, and allowed the Rudder-1's too break through the debris of Wooden Wagons and destroy the Castle main walls now leaving the entire inside opened for FS7 Infantry.
Strykers than arrived along side, Hawk APC's and entered the Castle court yards, obliterating any pony defender that was trying too defend the yard.
The Rudder-1's entered the Court yard as soon as the area was clear. Despite attacks from the surviving walls and upper levels the Strykers than destroyed the main entrance into the Castle, and rolled straight into Castle hallways, with HAWK APC's and Rudder-1's following close behind.
After entering the castle, the armored columns than split in too and separated, where they will be quickly regrouped by Infantry.
With the outside completely over run, Princess Celestia ordered all Ponies too abandon the walls and defend the Inside of the Castle, but mostly the Room of Sacred Scrolls in which contained the major Heart and friendship of all of Equestria. If the scrolls would have been destroyed.
All of Equestria would lose fate into defending themselves against the metal menace.
Fire fights erupted all over the Castle halls, with Rudder-1's and Strykers covering the Infantry advancing. On west wing, the Ponys used what ever magic they had left too cave in the west wall in order too stop the western FS7 from linking up with the Eastern FS7.
Furniture While the war raged on the lower level, the higher levels began too construct any fortifications that they could from Furniture, that was once among the royal rulers of Equestria even before Princess Celestia.
The engagement would only last about 20 minutes after having to be overrun with Submarine Tanks that eventually broke through the barricades in the door ways forcing the Princess and the defenders to flee into the upper levels. "Fall back! Fall Back to the Upper Levels!!" Celestia hollered as all Ponies, both guard and citizen related ran for their lives up the stairs while also trying to dodger laser fire from the invading androids.
After occupying the Bottom level the FS7 moved too the Higher levels, overrunning them in just hours along with help of Raiders, and Helos outside. Princess Luna's room was destroyed, by FS7 Rudder-1's in the waking along with Rarity's business room that lies on the north Tower.
The FS7 charged into the Upper Levels to meet with heavy resistance from Ponies, eventually destroying the Sacred Statue of Princess Celestia. The FS7 were then ordered to pacify the Scroll Library and destroy everything in there path. After breaking through Hallway E The FS7 Massacred a large portion of ponies that were barricaded in the Castle Magic hall, from there on they than made there way too the Sacred Scroll Library.
FS7 Legions secured all four Princess Council chambers of the entire castle and fought the obliterated about 23% Of Equestria's most valuable books Within hours the FS7 breached the Hall of Sacred Scrolls, and began too lay waste too the once beautiful room setting fire, too all of the Scrolls on the secrets of Magic, spells, and friendship.
"We can't hold them, the city is lost!" Rivera cried to Celestia, as she herself also Realizing that the castle is lost, looked at her now ruined city, as she turned to Rivera, "We make for Stalliongrad, right now!" She cried as she flew out from the nearest window followed by the survivors of the attack including the Mane six as well,
