The Great Equestrian War

Speed set upon the forest unto what he pictured to be hell on earth. He stomped timidly into the unknown of what they were getting into. Murmurs in the line of soldiers suggested that this was the most unnatural or scary forest in Equestra. After he entered the forest, the soldiers heard strange noises coiming from the woods, not only gunshots from beyond the forest but strange animal sounds.

"Sir?" Asked Speed "You said we would take 3 days on hoof to get here, how big is this forest?"

"Very big, when we get out it would be about 9:35" Replied the P.O in a blunt voice still attempting to see wear in the Everfree Forest we were.

As they Marched on the gun shots became more detailed there was even shooting overhead by the pegasi above. Speed didn't join the air force as it was thought to be more dangerous, he also was not the strongest flyer however it was not uncommon to see a Pegasus in the battle field. He would fly up and help the soldiers above however he did not have the correct equipment, for example the R.A.F had special wing modifications to make them fly faster and armour so ground soldiers bullets had little affect on them they also had stronger weaponry to shoot down enemy pegisi. Hoof soldiers had completely different gear from weapons to saddle bags they had a rifle, helmet, saddle bag and robe. The way the standard rifle worked is that they have a strap attached to the weapon and certain muscle movements would pull the trigger. The weapon was strapped so it was just next to the soldiers face on the right and a scope could move from right to left into the soldiers eye with the movement of a hoof. The helmet was supposed to help stop bullets however it was not always the best defence, the English helmet was shaped sort of like a odd shaped bowl, it's odd shape was to help with the impact of a speeding bullet. He had a simple cloak or robe to help keep warm and the saddle bags to carry your items.

Speed began to enter a small area of darkness it was such black and he could not see a thing eventually he found himself brush ing along the bushes on the side of the path.

*SMASH*

Pain was the last thing Speed felt he stupidly had walked un heroicly into a tree and knocked himself out. Speed was awoken to shelling bombardment around 30 meters from we're he awoke. The enemy must have mis calculated their shots. After about 5 minutes he began to peace together what had happened.

"My name is Speed, I am an English Hoof soldier fighting in a war against the Germans and Hungerians moving to the western front," Speed dead slowmy to himself "I am deep in the Everfree Forest and only means of communication is my voice... My gun,"

"Oh.. Buck, that hurt" Speed said under his breath.

Speed soon came were that blood was gashing from his forhead and needed medical attention. When he got his Hooves he felt dazed and stumbled towards a hill, soon he became aware that the path he was on had an incline and when he had fallen over he rolled down it leaving a trail of wet blood. He stumbled out of the 'blackout zone' and into the light an saw what was Ponyville...
