The Dragon War: The Oncoming Battle

Chapter 2

Take Back Baltimare

Aiden Frostfire clash a young legionnaire who is now being raised by Princess Cadence and Shining Armour, and for him it wasn't all bad, he was finding everyday a new adventure and he and Shining Armour hung out a lot like a father and son and Shining Armour would help him work out so he can build his strength up when he's older and Cadence always showed that motherly vibe towards him and he would always welcome the bedtime stories like the Daring Doo adventure books or if he wanted something education she would always read him the starswirl the bearded reference books, and he would mostly play around the Empire grounds with Cadence, and the Crystal ponies showed worried signs about his wolven eye but they found him to be harmless so they would greet him and smiled.

Though he wasn't a 100% percent he would always have dreams about his parents some be nightmares that would scare him the rest of the day, but he would always get the comforting hugs from the 2 ponies, who cared for the young colt and they were always there for him like he was their own.

Meanwhile the ponies of Baltimare were being evacuated due to the dragon war attacks taking place there, many mares and stallions who joined the special operation 101 taskforce army, who wear MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armour each armour had various different colours and except the tails were not covered and a knife holster on the left shoulder.

Everypony took cover in the trenches while the dragons fired their artillery guns as they were holding back the wolven who were charging towards the team of arm force ponies, the captain of the taskforce a unicorn mare who was born and raised in San Franciscolt and moved out at 12 without her parents knowing, and now lives in a apartment complex in Trottingham.

Some of the legion ponies from the Barrier lands had survived from the attack at Fangbreaker fortress which was Cathstar, Blademane, Tocolt and a dark mustard coloured unicorn stallion by the name of Sharpshot, Cathstar once knew Captain Wolfgang when they were fillies and then during their teens Cathstar decided to leave Equestria and found her way to the Barrier lands.

"This is day 2 of the dragon war the date is Thursday the 23rd of July, this is Captain Wolfgang of the special operations 101 taskforce army we've taken cover in the trench the dragons are firing artillery guns we've just barely survived the first wolven attack, I've never seen these monsters before but I've got a gut feeling the dragons have more of them, an old friend of mine Cathstar who left Equestria has returned with 3 legion ponies from the Barrier lands, have joined we could use the help a specially since they know how to fight these wolven, this is audio dairy 2 captain Wolfgang out".

It was time for Wolfgang's night watch and the pony she was on with was a tall strong red stallion

"looks like your on night watch with me huh"

"eeeyup" the stallion said his armour colour was green with small pieces of orange the colour of his tail, the stallion was rather shy but very strong and a good team player

"private Macintosh" Big Mac's head shot up hearing his name

"eeeeyup" he replied

"what made you want to join my army" Wolfgang asked her voice sounding like she's talking through a radio with her helmet on

"I wanted to feel like a hero to my family and prove that I'm not just a shy stallion who just bucks apples for a living" Mac replied taking off his helmet

"just be careful being in war can change you" Wolfgang puts a hoof on big Mac's shoulder

"thanks captain" Mac responded while glancing in the distance

"wait...? what in holy apple cores is that" Wolfgang levitated her helmet off and used her magic to levitate her binoculars in front of her face and looked through to see what Big Mac had a glimpse at.

"Holy Celestia sweet Luna lord... Mac gather everypony ready for battle" before Wolfgang could finish her sentence the watch post got burnt down by the dragons and Wolfgang fell right in the middle of the battlefield, she grabbed her assault rifle and started firing at the oncoming wolven.

The rest of the team grabbed their battle saddles and started shooting at the wolven, Cathstar saw Wolfgang pin down by wolven and jumped out of the trench while galloping to save her foalhood friend she fired numerous times at the oncoming wolven, Wolfgang stood up while continued firing using her telekinesis to hold her assault rifle, until she ran out of ammo "son of a blank flank" Wolfgang said while holstering her rifle and pulled out her 10mm pistol

"Wolfgang!!! Over here" Cathstar yelled out,

the blue unicorn mare turned her head and saw Cathstar until a wolven pinned her down biting and snapping furiously trying to take a bite, Cathstar gasped in shock and quickly galloped towards her friend and as she got close enough the dark green mare delivered a hard buck to the wolvens face, while Cathstar continued to fire Wolfgang got up and then they quickly galloped back towards the trench

"Wolfgang to flight crew we need air support I repeat we need air support"

"copy that captain we're on it" said the Pegasus flight commander.

Pegasi grab your battle saddles go go go!!!!" shouted the flight commander to the rest of the Pegasi,

they strapped on their battle saddles and unfolded their wings and took to the sky

"flight team fire at the dragons we'll take on the wolven"

"yes ma'm captain" the fight commander said putting on his helmet then he took off and grabbed his submachine gun off his back and fired at the dragons, one Pegasus threw grenades down towards the wolven chasing Wolfgang and Cathstar.

Meanwhile in Canterlot Princess Celestia was listening to Captain Wolfgang's audio logs that was sent to her, to report on how the war was going

"I should of listened to Wolfgang about General Fireclaw starting that war" Celestia said in a guilty tone in her voice, Luna pushed opened the door with her hoof and and saw her sister with a guilty look on her face

"Tia are you alright" Luna asked while walking towards her sister.

Celestia looked up

"this dragon war is playing on my mind I've been listening to captain Wolfgang's 2 audio logs"

"if anypony can handle this war captain Wolfgang can... she's the only pony who knows the meanings of combat"

"if I never interfered and listened to Wolfgang than this war would of never happened" Celestia said in grief

"don't blame yourself big sister you tried and you failed it's not the end of the world as long as those ponies fight like they mean it everything will back to normal and harmony restored" Luna replied meeting Celestia in eye level considering the height scale.

"There something I haven't told you little sister and it might shock you a bit" Celestia said wrapping a wing around Luna

"what is it Tia" Celestia was about to tell Luna about what General Fireclaw did, until a unicorn guard bolted in

"your highnesses Prince Markarthus want's you two to see him, he want's to speak with you" Celestia and Luna turned their heads to the guard and then back to each other and walked besides each other to see what Markarthus wanted to say.

They approached the medical quarters and there was Prince Markarthus in a oversized hospital bed covered with bloodstained bandages

"where... is... Frostfire... AH!!!" Markarthus said while wincing in pain, Celestia and Luna looked at each other then turned their attention to their big brother, Celestia walked towards the bed

"my niece Princess Cadence and the captain of the royal guard Shining Armour are looking after him but when he's 18 he'll join one of my subjects to fight in the dragon war"

Markarthus frowned a bit when hearing that Aiden is being looked after by chosen

"one thing you should know is that Aiden has a fast growing span where he will grow up quicker than the other chosen foals" he explained too his two sisters

"I just hope he's not gonna be a wimp on that battlefield" Markarthus then thought to himself.

"Don't be so tense big brother according to the letters Princess Cadence has sent about his progress in learning new magic spells and being determined to learn more knowledge plus he's building his strength up working out with the captain of the royal guard who is the co-leader of the" Luna responded,

Markarthus responded with a annoyed grunt after hearing one of his young legionnaires is being raised by another alicorn in the Heartland, not just any alicorn but she's Celestia's and Luna's niece and one is a captain of the Canterlot royal guard.

Meanwhile back in Baltimare the dragons and the wolven had fought even tougher that they drove everypony out of the trenches, there were many injuries but luckily nopony died, they set camp at the outskirts of Baltimare: many set sandbags as barricades and tents for shelter, the medical quarters was jam packed full of wounded ponies including captain Wolfgang who had several cuts from the battlefield and deep scratches from the wolven that pounced on her.

Cathstar along with Big Mac and a gamboge coloured Pegasus stallion and his mane and tail had two tones of moderate sapphire blue his armour was the same colour of his body

"hey Flash long time no see buddy" as she spoke, her and Flash Sentry hoof bumped

"I haven't seen you since military training"

"yeah totally I thought you wanted to be a royal guard seeing how when we were foals in school" Wolfgang then smirked as she put a hoof around Flash's shoulder

"you always wanted us to play royal guards when we were foals in school" Wolfgang giggled followed by Flash.

The four ponies walked out the medical quarters

"we've got to take back Baltimare no matter what" Cathstar said as she walked ahead to Wolfgang

"I know that but those dragons and wolven are more tougher than a tank" Wolfgang caught sight of a royal scribe flying towards her as he landed in front of her "which one of you mare's is Captain Wolfgang" the scribe said, Wolfgang stepped forward

"that would be me sir"

"I've got a letter here from Princess Celestia" the scribe pulled out a scroll out of his saddlebags after he gave Wolfgang the letter he took off back to Canterlot.

"What's does it say Wolfgang" Flash said curious on what's going on, as Wolfgang read the letter her eyes widened

"we'll be getting a new recruit who's from the Barrier Lands"

"it must be Aiden son of Vanguard clash and Rapidlight" Cathstar responded with her eyes widened

"according to Princess Celestia he's being raised by" Wolfgang gasped

"Princess Cadence and Shining Armour" "who's Princess Cadence and Shining Armour" Flash asked

"Cadence is the new Princess of the Crystal Empire and she's also Princess Celestia's and Princess Luna's niece and Shining Armour is the captain of the royal guard who he and Cadence's are both married.

Before Wolfgang could continue the camp was under attack as the scouts came back galloping and screaming out

"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!!!! WE'RE UNDER ATTACK" Wolfgang, Cathstar, Big Mac and Flash turned their heads and saw a horde of wolven running towards them along with dragons flying above them

"BATTLE STATIONS" Wolfgang yelled out and everypony grabbed their weapons and fired, Wolfgang jumped on the Gatling gun, firing at every wolven that came near.

As the battle continued, General Fireclaw grew frustrated

"what is wrong with these wolven... I gave them the most powerful armour ever" Fireclaw was then interrupted by his second-in-command who charged through the door

"sir we're losing more wolven and the ponies are moving forward shall we retreat" said Fireclaw's second-in-command,

"sweet holy fireballs" Fireclaw started to think until he caught a glimpse of the captain on the Gatling gun on his CCTV cameras, and moved a microphone towards him

"FIRE THE MISSILES" the dragons loaded the missiles and fired them at the same time, Wolfgang stopped and saw one missile heading towards her and her team "missile fire" Wolfgang shouted as everypony stopped what they were doing and to a safe distance.

Flash tripped over and a missile was heading straight for him until Wolfgang galloped as fast as her hooves could go and dived and casted a shield spell to cover her and Flash

"thanks" Flash said holding his hoof out to help her up, as Wolfgang took his hoof and went to stand

"hey no problem you know me always be there for my team" Wolfgang said as Flash and her galloped to a safe distance.

The battle went on for hours and hours it even started to rain so the ground became a mud bath, most ponies were tired and wet their armour part of their hooves were covered in mud, with the dragons, they were fine just flying above the ponies, they never shown signs of retreating since they captured Baltimare.

"I'm going ahead... stay back" Wolfgang yelled as she fired plasma lasers from her horn to the dragons

"I've got your back" Cathstar said as Wolfgang galloped towards the dragons as they flew down at maximum speed towards her, she continued to fire at them as the dragons fired their modified specialised laser weapons,  Wolfgang then started to do teleportation manoeuvres, until General Fireclaw flew up and fired his weapon and the laser hit Wolfgang sending her flying back towards her team, Flash, Cathstar and Big Mac galloped towards her and Flash put his hoof around her shoulder and started nudging her with his other hoof

"come on Wolfgang get up... get up... GET THE MEDIC!!!" Flash shouted worried for his friend.

Meanwhile the dragons halted and return to their camp, Big Mac walked next to the medic pony, walking towards Wolfgang who was still lying unconscious and Cathstar and Flash Sentry stayed by their friends side if she ever came round, the medic used her unicorn telekinesis to levitate the captain in the air and over to the hospital bed, while the captain was getting medical attention Cathstar and Flash and the two legionaries Tocolt and Sharpshot was out on patrol with two explosive search dogs, Cathstar was worried about Wolfgang seeing how that laser shot did strong enough damage leaving her friend in a terrible painful state

"be careful guys you never know when the dragons might ambush us" "Don't worry hot stuff if those dragons show up we'll be ready for them"

"Sharpshot I told you not to call me that" Cathstar responded with a annoyed tone in her voice.

The four ponies split up together in pairs and took one search dog with them Cathstar was stuck with Sharpshot and his constant bragging and boasting as he was trying to woo her, but like any mare who wasn't interested she gave him a good slap in the face with her hoof.

Flash Sentry didn't really seem comfortable being around in Tocolt's company how he never spoke to anypony except Blademane and Sharpshot not really much Cathstar seeing how she was born in Equestria and not even from the Barrier Lands, but most of the time Tocolt was mostly on his own

"hey Tocolt" Flash said curiously

"Tocolt buddy" Flash spoke again still no answer from Tocolt, until Flash stepped on something with his armoured hoof as he looked down.

It was a frag mine beeping

"AH!! sweet Celestia" Flash said as he knew what was going to happen, the search dog barked repeatedly and Tocolt quickly turned his head and 'BANG]' the mine had gone off sending Flash flying backwards

"WORTHLESS CHOSEN!!!" Tocolt shouted as an army of dragons came flying towards them, Cathstar and Sharpshot quickly galloped towards the explosion and when they were close enough Tocolt was firing at the dragons then Cathstar's eyes were drawn to a wounded Flash Sentry on the ground, Cathstar gasped

"FLASH!!!... Sharpshot get everypony here looks like we're in for a long battle"

"yes ma'm" Sharpshot replied giving her the flirty eye, Cathstar quickly galloped towards Flash protecting him from any other harm, the dragons had them out numbered until Sharpshot came charging with the rest of the team behind him, Flash managed to get to his hooves but he was slouched down. Cathstar noticed this and went towards him

"I... I... I think... my my my... front leg is.. Broken" Flash tried to speak while wincing from the pain, Cathstar had to quickly think of something until she remembered some med X's that ease pain, Cathstar used her unicorn telekinetic and levitate a syringe

"this should help until" she said while she jabed the med X in Flash's broken leg, he let out a winc and a forced out laugh as he started to stand up and took his rifle off his back

"thanks" Flash replied with a hoof bump.

Everypony was getting exhausted from the battle lasting hours and hours these dragons weren't gonna let them take back Baltimare and General Fireclaw was making sure of it, back at the medic tent Wolfgang was laying in the hospital bed with bandages covering her wound, as she could sense a battle going on it she started cringe of the urge too get back out there, until she opened her eyes forcefully and jumped out of bed and galloped out the medic tent towards the battlefield.

Cathstar stood by Flash's side to give him cover since he was wounded, as Cathstar fired a shot from her weapon a plasma ball of magic also fired at the dragon killing him in one shot, Cathstar quickly turned her head and saw Wolfgang who galloped towards her and Flash as Wolfgang made a massive jump and landed in front of them armed with nothing but her combat spells.

The dragons started to fear at the site of what that plasma ball did to one of their soldiers as they glanced at the green goo, General Fireclaw was having none of it as he spat out fireballs at Wolfgang, Wolfgang had enough strength to do her teleportation manoeuvres to dodge the fireballs until her plasma ball and Fireclaw's fireball connected having a strong effect on Wolfgang's power as she became strong and used every single strength of her magic to blast the dragons back.

The ponies cheered as they galloped towards Wolfgang to praise her, after her heroic attack, but with her injuries still healing  and the amount of energy she used left her to collapse with exhaustion, Big Mac galloped towards Wolfgang along with Cathstar and Flash Sentry, Mac lifted Wolfgang onto his back and took her back to the medical tent, Cathstar then ordered everypony to move forward back towards Baltimare to take it back.

What they did was attach the strong stallions like Big Mac to pull the wagons containing supplies, and the injured ponies from the medical quarters, the two legionnaires Tocolt and Blademane were up front followed by Cathstar, Flash Sentry and Big Mac who was pulling the wagon filled with the supplies and the Gatling gun in it.

The army of ponies made it back to Baltimare and placed their flag right next to the trench, and therefore the ponies celebrated after they took back Baltimare, Wolfgang was still recovering and Flash Sentry had his leg mended and, he took some fixer to stop the med x addiction side affect.

"This is audio diary 3 captain Wolfgang, we've managed too finally take back Baltimare, there are many injured but zero casualties, these dragons fought hard but we defeated them due to my necromancer training. Tomorrow me and my group will check on these shanty towns, something about my power and Fireclaw's power connected and I could see his plans in his mind, not sure if that was part of my necromancer spell "memorus" well it's been along week and I've still got some recovering to do, Wolfgang out."
