The Raid of Equestria
Chapter 5
Previous ChapterNext ChapterBack at Sugar Cube Corner, Raleigh was challenging Ace to see who could drink the most apple cider without pauses, spills, or regurgitation. "I'm telling you right now, challenging me to this type of thing is a mistake."
"Try me" Raleigh said as he popped open a bottle of apple cider. He began to chug the cider down. As he did, Ferro spotted something. He approached the doorway. Everyone stopped and looked at him.
"Ferro?" Fluttershy asked. "What's going on?" Ferro ignored her and grabbed a plastic baseball bat meant for the piñata. He stepped out of Sugar Cube Corner and looked around.
"I know you're there" he whispered. Just then, he saw a grenade coming towards his way. He quickly swung the bat and watched it fly back to where it came. He saw it explode and saw a few soldiers fly up in the air from the blast and landed painfully on the ground. "Get everyone to safety!" He yelled. Suddenly, there was gunfire. "Fuck! Shit!" Ferro yelled as he hid behind some crates. Princess Twilight ran past him to help Patton and Ronnie get the citizens to safety.
Ferro saw me creep up behind a soldier and slit his throat with the tactical knife. I picked up the assault rifle, cocked it, and began gunning down soldiers. "Come on!" I yelled, grabbing him by the arm. I pulled him behind a building where Raleigh and Ace joined us.
"What the fuck is going on?!" Ace asked as I handed him his revolver and bullets.
"I'm starting to understand why we're brought to Equestria" I said. I got out from around the corner and gunned down a soldier. I got back to cover.
"Anyone got a plan?" Raleigh asked. Ace got out the hiding spot, pulled the hammer back, and shot a soldier in the head.
"Kill them all." He charged forward and shot another soldier in the head.
"Ace, wait!" I yelled. "He's going to get himself killed!" I got up and ran after him. Just then, a soldier found Ferro and Raleigh.
"Get up and help us raid this place" he said, handing Raleigh a gun. Raleigh, took the gun, cocked it, and shot the soldier in the head.
"No thanks." Raleigh got up and left the hiding place.
"Oh, so I'm the only one who doesn't get a gun?" Ferro asked as he gripped the baseball bat tighter. He charged at a so,died and struck the bat against his head, snapping it. He laughed and tossed the bat aside. He picked up the assault rifle and examined it. "Wait, how do i use this?!"
Raleigh quickly pushed him out of the way and gunned down the soldier that was about to shoot him. "You're complaining about not having a gun yet you don't know how to use one?" He asked. He saw a soldier aiming his gun at them. Raleigh pushed him aside and gunned him down. He hauled Ferro to his feet and shoved him behind a building. "You stay here." He then ran to help Ace and I fight.
Ferro watched a soldier pull out a handgun and cock it. He then sprinted forward. Another soldier with an assault rifle stepped forward, entering the alleyway. Ferro spotted a handgun sticking out of his pocket. He picked up a large rock, crept up behind him and smacked the rock against his head, knocking him out. He picked up the handgun and examined it. "Ok so he went like this...." He pulled the cocking mechanism back. He pulled it all the way until the gun cocked. "Ha! I did it! Yeah!" He accidentally pulled the trigger and shot the unconscious soldier in the back of his head. "Oh fuck that, nope" he said, tucking the gun back into the soldier's pocket. He glanced up and saw a soldier wielding a machete. "Now we're talking." He picked up the rock again and threw it at the soldier's head, snapping it. He picked up the machete and charged forward.
Raleigh and Ace provided cover as I dragged a dead soldier behind a building. "Give me this" I said, taking a mag. "Fuck" I muttered.
"What is it?" Ace asked.
"It's empty!" I yelled. Raleigh and Ace were also running low on ammo. Just then, a soldier approached us.
"You humans decided to side with these ponies when you could've helped us destroy it. How dare you fucking idiots side with the enemy when we're clearly the heroes." He raised his gun at us. "I'll send you to hell and rot with--" Ferro crept up behind him and stabbed him in the back.
"Oh shut up" he said. He pulled the machete out and tossed it aside. The soldier fell to his knees and began breathing raggedly. He then fell on his side.
"This is just the beginning" the soldier said as he coughed up blood, speaking slowly. "You've already lost." He began laughing and then coughed. "Appleloosa is the next target... By the time you get there, the town will be raided by then." He closed his eyes and breathed his last.
