The Immortals

Fall of Equestria

Canterlot 1 week into the Equine-Griffin War

"As you can see princess, the Griffins have taken Ponyville, Appleoosa,Stalliongrad, the Crystal Empire has been lost too, we have not gotten any news from Shining Armour or Princess Cadenza we assume they have died, also, Manehatten has taken major damage, but an elite team of guards has kept Hooflyn by destroying the Griffin airships, the other guards have also managed to keep minor towns near the Canterlot sector under control, but messengers have said that they are becoming overrun and that we will lose a few towns within the hour, if we do not do something quickly we will lose all of these zones, and soon Canterlot will fall, as well as this, we have news that the griffins have acquired the help of the dragons, unfortunately, the elements may not help in this war, and we only have so many guards.."

"Any solutions commander?"

"There is one..but if we put it into action..we will lose the minor towns in Equestria.."

"What is it?"

"Pool in all the guards to Canterlot, so that the defence here will be stronger"

"You know I cannot allow that commander, I will not put my little ponies' lives at risk, and even if we put that plan into action, the amount of guards we have will not be able to hold back an entire invasion force of dragons and griffins, unless you have a plan that can guarantee the safety of my citizens, I don't want to hear it.."

"Yes Princess"

"Commander, do me a favour and bring the elements in"

"Okay"

The door opens and each of the Elements of Harmony walk in with frowns."Princess, you called for us?" Twilight asked "What is it you need?", she asked again. "My faithful student, I regret to inform you.." Twilight looks down at the marble floor "Shining Armour and Cadence are no longer with us.." Each of the Elements gasped at this and Twilight fell onto her haunches with tears brimming in her eyes "A-And how do you know this princess?" Twilight asked. "I was there at the fall of the Crystal Empire, it is Griffin territory now.." "N-No! they have to be alive, it can't be true.." Twilight moaned, on the floor lay a broken mare, once one of the happiest in all of Equestria. "I'm sorry Twilight."

"Elements, we have no time to mourn the..unfortunate losses of Shining Armour and Princess Cadence, most of Equestria's territory has been lost to the Griffins, and now that they have formed an alliance with the dragons, victory for them is even more likely, so I have brought you here so that the guards may take you to the chambers beneath the castle, none of the Griffins will be able to attack you since the lock can only be undone with my horn, so if I fall in battle, rest assured that nobody will be able to hurt you.."

"Princess! you cannot be serious! we are the Elements of Harmony! we must play our part in the war for Equestria!" Rarity begged
"I am sorry Elements, this is no longer a war for Equestria..This is the Fall of Equestria herself.." Princess Celestia said with sadness in her voice.
"Guards! take the Elements to the Final Fortress.."
"No! Princess you can't do this!"
"I'm sorry Twilight...I am doing this for the better of Equestria.."
"Not cool!" Rainbow Dash shouted
"We can't give up now!" Applejack bellowed
"This isn't right..." Fluttershy started to tear up
"We must have hope!" Rarity once again tried to bring morale up but failed
Pinkie Pie's hair deflated, with the typical deflating balloon noise.
The guards pulled the Elements out the door and took them to the 'Final Fortress'

"Princess, you did the right thing." the commander spoke up. "Did I commander? or have I shown that every ruler breaks at one point?" The commander frowned "Princess, every ruler DOES break at one point, your breaking point is when your ponies are hurt, but it shows how far you are willing to go to protect your citizens" Celestia smiled at the comment "Thank you commander, but before you go.. may I ask.. can we evacuate the ponies in the towns before they are overrun?".
The Commander put a hoof to his chin "We can only evacuate the towns where the invasion is not taking its toll on, and that is only about 4 towns, altogether, we will be able to evacuate around 5,000 ponies, why do you ask?"
"Can you do it?"
"There's a chance.."
"Then make it happen commander..use any means necessary to bring as many ponies as possible to Canterlot.."
"Yes Princess, I'll get on it right away"
"Thank you commander, it has been an honour having you serve by my side."
"The honour is mine Princess".

Hooflyn

Team Metal

This is Crossbar, we have received reports of the griffins teaming up with the dragons, We wish you the best in your efforts to defend Hooflyn, we know you can do it. We have sent catapults in response to the Dragon Alliance, these should help with bringing the dragons out of the sky, Glassman,Dwarf,Carriage,Icicle,everybody from Manehatten is counting on you to deal with the threat, once this war is over hopefully you won't get deployed as much.
Our pegasi reconnaissance has show about 3 dragons heading for Hooflyn now, and will enter your airspace soon enough, good luck stallions, and Celestiaspeed.

"Dwarf! pick up those arrows and start bringing those Griffins down, Carriage stay with him!, Icicle, you're with me lets move!

Icicle P.O.V

I can't believe this.
We've managed to hold Hooflyn for 2 days straight, Celestia best be giving us a raise for this.
In those 2 days we shot down 5 airships and took out 2 proper ships, I didn't even count how many griffins we took out, 'cause I'm sure that we took out a Griffins equivalent of a village or probably a city.
Then again, we're just doing our job.
Hopefully those dragons are too stupid to think and they fly into a few buildings, it'll give us less time.
Can't wait to get home.
When is the damn evacuation force coming already? Crossbar said that they'd be here by noon.
Where the Tartarus are they then?
