War of the Ponies

Fritz woke up among the apple trees and found that there was something going on in the pit. He looked over at it and saw the martians hard at work building something. Fritz didn't want to find out what they were building he immediately ran back towards town.

On his way he passed the Equestrian army setting up artillery and barricades around the town. He found the commanding officer and asked. "What news?" the officer stared him down and then replied "Setting up defenses and just what in Celestia are you doing on this side of the defenses.".

"I just came from the pit, it was terrible they killed so many!" Fritz said panting

"Really is there anything you can tell us about them that may help?"

"They are large ghastly beasts,more like octopuses than ponies."

"really octopuses?'

"Yes and them have this terrible weapon that incinerates all that it come in contact with. It travels trough the air and emits heat hot enough to incinerate ponies! its like a...um... Heat Ray!"

"Thank you for the information go back to your home and gather your supplies and evacuate, leave the martians to us." Fritz had no intention of sticking around he did what the Officer said and went back to Ponyville. When Fritz arrived the town was in panic. There everypony was trying to get out of the town. Fritz wen into his house and was startles when just as soon as he opened the door there was the sound of distant artillery. Fritz ignored it and began to collect things he would take with him. He grabbed some bits and some rations. He then wen't upstairs to collect some more things and then left the house. He look over the hill were the orchard is, flashes of light erupted from over the hill. He ran in the opposite direction when large bursts flew over the hill. They were Light Green, they strucik building turning them to rubble in seconds. Fritz ran as fast he could through the crowds of panicking ponies.

Fritz couldn't help but look over his shoulder, and what he say he couldn't believe. There stood a giant three legged machine, it fired into the crowds with its heat ray. Fritz managed to get into an alley which he used to escape to the edge of town. He looked around for the best way to escape. But when he turned around he saw one of the tripods right there. It prepared to fire but was interrupted by a large blast at its side and it. Back up and turned its attention to another artillery position. Fritz used this to escape ponyville.

He made his way through the maze like passageways that separated houses from each other. His ears were at their busiest taking in all the sounds around him, screams of pain and agony, the artillery wizzing by then exploding, and of course the tripods as they stormed through the town killing everything in sight. Fritz tried to ignore it.

Fritz continued through the maze of alleyways until he hit a dead end. "Verdammt!" he exclaimed hastily looking for a way to escape. He looked all around before deciding to break into a nearby house. He kicked the door down with all his might and then run in. To his surprise that door was connected to the only part of the wall still standing, the rest was a mixture of charred bodies and rubble. Fritz looked around finding that the rubble was what was left of Sugar Cube Corner. "P-please h-help me..." came a voice from midst the rubble. He looked around once more before finding the source of the cries for help. It was Pinkie she was pinned under a large wooden beam.

Fritz rushed over and tried to lift the beam. It would only budge slightly, he looked down at Pinkie who was now crying. He reassured her and continued trying to lift the beam without any luck. Fritz got an idea he lifted the beam up slightly and then placeda large brick under it. He looked down at Pinkie, he grabbed her by the hooves and pulled her out from under it. She was unconcious, as Fritz was about to sit and rest for a moment he heard the sound of an approaching tripod. Fritz panicked looking for a way out. He spied a cellar door and rushed over to it with Pinkie over his back. an ran into the cellar just before the tripod got within eyesight
