War of the Worlds

''GET  INTO YOUR GROUPS EVERYONE WE'RE GOING UP,''

The guards yelling woke her up instantly. After an extremely boring speech they learned that it was safe to go up and that some animals had died from the changeling's attacks.

''Why do we even need dead animals?''

''For tests,'' replied a red and gray unicorn.''Did you know Ponyville is now the princesses main research base, I thought it would be obvious, Twilight Sparkle living here and all.

Beauty shook her head carelessly,''Okay,''

''What's your name?''

''Black Beauty, I'm new here,''

''Sunrise Skies, nice to m...''

''WHATS ALL THIS TALKING ABOUT?"

''Nothing, Sargent Mars,''

" WE'RE GOING UP AND I DON'T WANT ANY FUNNY BUSINESS,''

''YES,'' Sunset replied, saluting the mare.

Half an hour later they were walking in the forest in search of dead bodies. Beauty thought she saw a pair of blue eyes looking at her, but convinced herself it was just paranoia.

''EWWWW,'' groaned a blue stallion as he looked at another dead body. Beauty sighed, this would mean another hour of picking up guts and brains.

She was past the mid-ribs when their guard signaled there was danger approaching.
