All I can hear is a loud ringing in my ear, I open my eyes to see an earth pony soldier, his green eyes looking down at me; my ears slowly start to hear sound over the ringing.
“She’s okay” The earth pony shouts with a deep voice to a Pegasus over his shoulder, the Pegasus is wearing full battle armour with his lavender colour mane hanging out the back of his helmet, then without a moment’s notice he nods his head and takes back to the skies. I was lying down behind a blown up sky wagon, fires and explosions were littering the battlefield on the outskirts of Manehattan with the sound of bullets and magical energy weapons. I look around to see all matters of earth ponies and unicorns in their grey and black battle armour taking cover behind broken walls and crashed sky tanks.
“You okay Sgt?” The earth pony shouts to me.
“Yes sir, I think so sir” I say this as I look over my body, hooves and wings to see if it was all still attached, my armored barding however, is in ruins
“You got hit by that grenade pretty bad, you’re lucky you were far enough away for your armour to protect you from the shockwave, you were out of it for a good 5 minutes. Your Pegasus friend stuck around to make sure you were still alive.”
I look back up at the soldier still dazed by what had actually happened to me.
“Sir” I shout towards the pony
“Are you still managing to keep the zebra at bay sir?” I ask him, slightly muttering some of my words, but not too much to the point where he couldn’t understand me. my head is in agony and the ringing is starting to become unbearable.
“Sadly not” He replied, taking a peek over the top of the sky wagon that we were both taking cover behind.
“The zebra are managing to push us back slowly they shall be within the city in the next few…”
*BOOOM*
A rocket hit the building to our left, sending debris flying all over the place. Two earth ponies lay dead and a unicorn who is missing the top of her left ear was screaming in agony, a Pegasus flew down and swiftly took her behind an old corner shop, which was being used as a on hand medical station.
“Tass could you do me a big favour… you don’t mind if a call you that do you?” He asks this looking down at my pony tags. His voice had become soft as if all his will had been torn out of him by the explosion.
“Yes sir” I reply to the pony “And no sir” I swiftly follow suit allowing myself to slightly blush.
“Thank-you Tass” The pony slowly nods his head.
“Take this message back to the Ministry of Wartime technology in Canterlot…”
Two more explosions erupt around us sending more shrapnel and debris flying over us.
“Tell them were sending the wounded back towards the centre of Manehattan, the rest are staying here to try and slow the assault” He finishes his sentence looking back over the top of the sky wagon.
“But that’s suicide” I reply as I look back at the pony with wide eyes and a shocked expression on my face.
“It will be okay Tass, just do this for me will you?” He asks looking back towards me. I take one more look at the brave stallion and nod my head.
“Thank-you Tass” The pony said in a calm voice “oh and by the way” He says swiftly as I turned around to take one last look at him. “My names Buck”
Before I even had the chance to spread my wings and take to the sky, there was a blinding flash and a loud explosion and the world felt like it was engulfed in fire….
War…. War never changes.
