//-------------------------------------------------------// Night of the Dead -by ScarletMarineCorps- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 - Reaching the Wastelands //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 - Reaching the Wastelands The dropship leaves the truck filled with eight marines and two drivers, who are ehading towards Equestria. But when they had arrived, the driver accidentally hit something on the road which appears to be a pony, escorted by royal guards and Starbeam Twinkle. Commander Sherman was examining the pony and reveals to be Young Admiral - a Vice Admiral of the Equestrian Navy, was wearing a military combat uniform. The dropship again has extracted the Vice Admiral, his marefriend and their guards, as Sherman has ordered to move out. "High Command, this is Savior Actual. We are heading towards Equestria. We have linked up with the Equestrian Armed Forces, it appeared they were beaten up but they needed some support here. Send Army Group Charlie." Commander Sherman said. "Solid copy, Savior. Interoggative: Are you gonna support them or send Army Group Charlie over?" High Command replied. "Negative, Valkyrie. Send Army Group Charlie now." Savior Actual said again. "Roger, Savior. Valkyrie out." Valkyrie replied on, as they send in Army Group Charlie, accompanied by Army Group Alpha. "Hey you! What's going on? What happened here? And why are you all beaten up?" Makarov asked one of them. "We were beaten up by something we didn't know. First are the ghouls, then raiders, and the New Canterlot Republic!" One of the royal guards said. "And we haven't contacted with Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, and the Ministers! We need you to go there and find out! We'll open the gate for you." The royal guard then opens the gate, assaulted by zombies. "Shite! Rip them up! Kill them all! One by one!" Commander Sherman yelled. The marines blast them all with everything they got until all zombies were killed. "Alright, let's move! Move out, weapons ready, but keep your eyes open, move fast or slow, and don't let them swarm you." Commander Sherman said. They followed the road and noticed ten royal guards who are looking through the wreckage. They told the marines they found ammunitions, and combat vests which belongs to the Terran Starship Command. They then gave the ammunitions and combat armors to them. The ten royal guards then returned to the group but met Army Groups Charlie and Alpha. "Stop. I think i saw some kind of zombies. Wait, i think i saw raiders. But i don't know, we have to check it out.Follow me." Commander Sherman said. The team then leans against the cliffs and moves slowly, as they are watching their backs. Commander Sherman then throws a grenade at them, insantly killing them. Sherman quietly said a go. They noticed they killed six raiders but noticed something hiding inside the houses. Sherman tells them to prone and move. As they are proning, they noticed a pony with a gun shooting the marines,missing them. Sherman orders his men to run faster and secure the window. Sherman contacts Valkyrie about the challenge and countersign, which is Imperial and minotaur. Sherman said the word Imperial, and the latter replied with the word minotaur. They entered the house and noticed a unicorn and two fillies, accompanied by a stallion. "What happened?" Makarov said. "We were hiding for months and noticed they are still outside! Raiders, zombies, ghouls, others! We have tried to head towards the Stable but there are some monsters! Any ideas?" A Stallion said. "I'd say we'd dig then. That's the only way. But i think we can keep you guys out of trouble." Sherman said. "I think we have to get to the Stable using stealth." The unicorn said. "But careful, there are some snipers everywhere. We don't want to be killed!" "Don't worry. They got the snipers, we got the Storm." Sherman said. As some poneis upstairs and one of them asked Sherman. "What the Storm?" "Valkyrie, this is Savior Actual. Show some enemies the Storm. Send it." Sherman asked High Command. "Roger, we heard you. Where are you now?" Valkyrie asked Sherman and explained they are at Hotel 5-1, resulting in using the Weather Control Device located at Manenila, the capital of the Fillypines. The Fillyponies agreed to have the Weather Control Device to be built. The WCD launched a stormy weather, blocking the snipers' sights of views from seeing them. "Dolphin, launch the lightnings. Numbers of hostiles: massive; Numbers of snipers: many; many local citizens: many. Designated fire as follow: 0-9-1-1-2-4-6." Valkyrie has contacted Dolphin to fire the lightnings at a massive groups of ghouls, raiders, and others. The storm has arrived and lightnings strikes at every raiders, ghouls, and whatever snipers Savior Company has been told. The rain starts in as Savior and the ponies arrived at the stable. Savior Company then were being told by Army Group Charlie that Canterlot was damaged during the initial attacks but remains intact. The group then made their way towards Canterlot but saw many soldiers, and Sherman came to negotiate. A New Lunar Republic soldier noticed a human and aimed their weapons at him, accompanied by seven more marines. "Whoa! Whoa! Calm down! We don't have to fight. I have come here to negotiate. Chief Warrant Commander 5 Grant Dimitri Victor Sherman, leader of Savior Company." Sherman tells his bio. "You're part of the Terran Starship Command! We've been told by Celestia that you marines have came here. We are giving you access, but we cannot enter because something was wrong inside. Perhaps we can go together?" An NLR soldier said. "No, i think i'll go on with Makarov. I am telling you all to stay here and wait until i have opened the gate for you." Sherman then moves on alone and went to open the gate. Sherman and Makarov went inside and searched for a lever to lower the gate and they noticed a lever. The two then lowered the gate and put it down. They finally lowered the gate and they went inside, assisting the two to close the drawbridge. "Alright, we have entered the Castle but we have to find any survivors. Let's advance by twos. Let's go." Sherman said and all were advancing in two. They noticed the Dropship, callsign "Harrier", arriving in with Young Admiral, Starbeam, and their guards. The team then splits up, as Young Admiral and Starbeam Twinkle are heading towards their way. A shot has been fired, alarming TSC Company Savior. Savior Company has been alarmed that a sniper shot was made. Francis was about to fire his sniper rifle. However, a purple unicorn just hit Sherman as they regrouped with Makarov, Young, and Starbeam. Starbeam was shocked that Twilight Sparkle accidentally attacked Sherman. Princess Cadence tells her to stop, and Sherman said, "Release me or else i will be forced to have you under arrest for attacking me against the Terran Starship Command!" "Terran Starship Command? Oh, i'm terribly sorry sir! I didn't know you were part of them. I am Twilight Sparkle, minister of Arcane Science." Twilight Sparkle explained "Chief Warrant Commander Five Grant Dimitri Victor Sherman, commander of Marine Forces Equestria. Leader of Savior Company. An honor to see you. We have received word from your capital about the initial attack. We heard screaming, loud noises, and others. We have been notified that you were attacked." Sherman personally explained. "We have been attacked by raiders, plus some rangers, and others. We have been taken shelter on the Castle and its city until we saw lightnings striking them. The rain also made impossible for them." "That's Dolphin. Dolphin's the callsign for a crew who are using the Weather Control Device. I kinda asked Valkyrie - the High Command of the Terran Starship Command - to launch the Storm against them. It was our only plan to use it so that other ponies had to hed towards the Stable." "I hate to interrupt but, the natives' getting restless." Andrey has explained that the raiders are attacking from the North West, ghouls from the West, and the rangers from the South West. "Everyone, you will know that i'd got a card to play." Sherman said, as all war planes came out of nowhere and bombarded every enemies they saw. The largest second wave came in with napalm bombs. The third wave strolling in with bullets, rockets, and bombs. And the last wave were many, all war planes from the skies bombards the enemies inside Equestria. They are now victorious as the enemies were bombarded. The weapons Savior Company used are the Terran Starship Command Marine Assault Rifles or TSCMAR, which were favored by anyone. //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue "Hurry up, Makarov! You're gonna be late!" Andrey Petrenko tells Makarov. "I am hurrying! I am hurrying!" Colonel Makarov yelled and arrived at the transport truck. Major Captain Dimitri Harkov Petrenko, who was leaning against the truck, was waiting for Commander Sherman. Colonel Vladimir Aleksander Makarov Jr. was asking Andrey why Sherman was doing something, but Sherman has arrived. Andrey, Major Petrenko, Makarov, Petrov, Yura, Jonathan, and Stalker-3 saw him and lined up. "Alright gentlemen, listen up. We are being sent by High Command to go to a country known as Equestria. We heard that a transmission was sounding like normal voices yelling about monsters, we heard gunshots, and unknown sounds. We are being sent to see what happened. Pack up and let's go, we have to bring in some foods and drinks for ourselves." Commander Sherman said as the Hercules-class dropship lands and deploys Savior Company.
