The Battalionby Fa-18ChaptersPrologue/ambushRefuges part 1Refugees part 2not a chapter...discussion.Enemy assault and reinforcementsPrologue/ambushDate: 3-27-2013 time: 14:00 central day time Operation: Hammerhead Fire, destruction, death. That was all they saw, each and every U.S Soldier ranging from the Army, to the Coast guard. No one would have seen this if ''THEY'' hadn't shown up. An alien race that came down to earth hell bent on taking our water source. And putting the entire world at war. These beings, with mechanical arms and legs, oval like head and weapon attached to their arms, just came down from space and started destroying everything. The battle had gone for a week straight, then the U.S and the world finally found a turning point in the battle. All thanks to a group of Marines, Now a battalion of the United States Army infantry of about two thousand strong, a division of thirty Abrams tanks, twenty aav's borrowed from the Marines, ten supply trucks, and five squadrons of A-10 Warthogs containing ten each, loaded with J-Dam bombs. This force was gathered to take out the remaining enemy forces that gathered together in one area for their last line of defense. And as of now they were on their way to the targeted designation. ''All units, all units were coming into the targeted area, how copy?'' ''Solid copy,'' General Woods replied. He was in command of this battalion heading towards the last known location of gathered forces, Albany La. They don't know why for that particular choice, but they're there. And now they had arrived to the location, in urban territory. ''Alright, we're in the dead zone now,'' Stated one of staff sergeants,''when we get to---''*BBOOMM* the sudden sound that marked ambush. ''AMBUSH, ALL UNITS BAIL OUT AND ENGAGE, KEEP CLEAR OF THE ENEMY FIRE LETS MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!'' The General yelled out at the top of his lungs as each soldier went for cover dodging the whistling shots fired by the enemy. The sounds of gunfire being exchanged. With everything that happened so suddenly, the battalion of army soldiers barely had the time to respond but still being able to get through for about ten minutes. ''HOSTILES ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE BUILDING AT 3:00, THROW A HIGH EXPLOSIVE IN THERE!'' One of the soldiers yelled out, as well as seeing his order go through. Then the sound of the 120 millimeter cannon sounding off confirming his choice and blasting a huge hole in the wall. Leaving fire in its wake. Then followed by the sounds of jets dropping their payload on other enemy positions.The battle has lasted for half an hour all ready, and the battalion already lost five-hundred troops with fifty wounded, not even a minute later, strange light started to surround the remaining five hundred troops along with their vehicles and simply vanished. But something else got transported as well. Refuges part 1A peaceful trail leading towards ponyville, no further than twenty miles leading north. Where ponyville was peacefully enjoying the majestic light of celestia's sun. Then something strange started happening on this trail and one bright flash of light brings forth a battalion, or whats left of the poor souls, of U.S Army soldiers and the remaining vehicles. What's remaining of the battalion of two thousand troops is five hundred that got telleported from the battle with fifty wounded. Fifteen Abrams tanks, ten aav's, and five supply trucks. As soon as the soldiers were finally teleported from their world, they were baffled about the location and event that just took place. Except General Woods. ''Uhhhhng *long sigh* ok, that was more than just strange...sweet dear God of mighty my head hurts,'' The general stated,'' well, at least were safe for now...LIEUTENANT!'' ''Yes sir,'' One of the generals sons said while running up to him. ''Is your brother doing alright,'' The general asked with a hint of worry. ''His only wound was third degree burn on his left left from a enemy missile, but he's holding out.'' ''Good, good, go check the wounded and see what problems need to be fixed then come back to me, got a mission for you and your team. and ill go check on your brother.'' ''Yes sir.'' The general then goes off to find his sons brother. Ever since the generals sons joined the armed services, he promised to keep them safe. A promise that he had made to his wife. Soon he found a medical area were the wounded were being patched up. The general ended up passing at least twenty wounded so far until he fount his son. ''Hey dad, don't worry i'm fine,'' He says. ''You sure, with a wound like that, even i would be in the slightest of pain,'' The general replies,''but really...i came to check on ya' to see how you were doing, not to mention i gotta keep you safe.'' ''Yea, we remember what mom said, keep them safe or ill be the one kicking your butt to the other side of heaven.'' ''Yep, those were her last words, even took the liberty of writing it down. And some how ended up making it a motto for a regiment.'' So after a few more minutes of talking with his son, the general went to meet up with the lieutenant and his team. Now the Lieutenants team was a simple four man team. A medic, which was the Lieutenant. An engineer, who was transferred from his unit to the lieutenants, and carries a SMAW with five rounds, and one AT-4 rocket launcher. The support class who carrie a M24OB LMG with a bullet chain that connects to his ammo bag on his bag, and also carries a mortar to fire upon enemy positions. And last but not least, the recon. He carries his personal favorite Beretta 50.cal sniper, a pac containing three c4. And also carries a soflam for marking targets. ''Everyone here, good,'' general woods stated as he arrived. ''Alright, your mission is to go north through the forest to look for any kind of settlement. When you find a settlement, check and see if they have any kind of medical facilities.Then come back and report to me at one of the tanks. And be careful, please. We good?'' ''YES, SIR,'' the team replied in unison. ======= Lieutenants p.o.v After two hours of walking through the forest, the team stop to take a five minute break to drink some water that they had in canteens. The forest was close to being unforgiving, but the heat was taking its toll on the soldiers. But none the less they're pulling through. It had been three minutes so far, and the team were just about to get their things back together since they also ate some MRE's that they brought, until they heard a child scream. The first to respond was the Lieutenant and then the rest of his team. They ran until they fount a clearing and the child that they heard scream. Soon as they saw her, they didn't know what to think, especially the lieutenant. Then out of no were, shots rang out from the one thing that they thought didn't come through the portal. ''TAKE COVER AND ENGAGE,'' the medic yelled out as he and his team exchanged fire with the enemy. ''COVER ME, I'M GOING AFTER THE GIRL.'' the medic yelled with that he quickly rushed towards the girl who apparently got hit through the leg, but not before dodging an enemy missile that flew past his head causing him to hiss in pain as he felt the extreme heat hit his face. Then followed by a loud boom. But he still continued rushing towards the girl. When he got there, he was able to get a clear image of what she looked like. Purple hair, orange skin or in this case fur, and hooves as feet. And she was also wearing a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. But he focused on the situation at hand, a third degree burn on her leg from the enemy gunfire. Using his experience with medical training, he began to go through the necessary operation for this particular wound. and thanks to his experience in the medical field, he managed to get it done within the minute. then the battle stopped. The lieutenant looked around to see that his team repelled the enemy while he was dealing with the girls wounds. ''Alright, lets get back to the battalion so she can get better medical attention,'' the medic ordered as he picked up the girl who was probably at the age of ten. Surprisingly she didn't show any refusal of any kind, but she simply asked. ''Who are you.'' The soldiers looked at her and smiled. Then the medic said,''we'll let ya know when we get back towards our base camp.'' -=-=-=- Generals p.o.v The general was sitting by the tank looking at the plans that were drawn or written out on the side armor. The plans were mapped out for when they started to move to a different location. With the general was some other squad leaders from different squads, more specifically tank commanders. They were about to discuss another plan until they heard rustling of leaves. They looked to see the generals son and his team. But his son was carrying a creature that resembled a little girl, which was sleeping while being carried. Well it was probably six pm considering the time of day. ''Lieutenant, why are you carrying a little girl back here when we don't know what she is.'' ''She got wounded from enemy fire, dad, she needs medical attention. third degree burn through her leg.'' ''so that confirms my thoughts, alright get her patched up and see if she can tell us were we're at and if there's any settlement up north.'' With that the lieutenant went to bring the girl to one of the aav's which were makeshift imfirmeries. and began to operate on her leg that had the third degree burn. after half an hour of fixing the wound and a bit of wincing from the girl, even though she was asleep much to the medics relief, the wound was good as new. Then about an hour later she awoke. ''Uhhg, where am I?'' she asked ''At our base camp, got your leg fixed up....if it's alright, would you mind answering some questions for me?''The medic asked as he got some water for her to drink. ''Sure, if you can answer mine first.'' ''O.k, my name is Jackson Woods, but since i'm a soldier i go by woods.'' ''Nice to meet ya, names scootaloo, and thanks for saving me back there from those creatures.'' ''No problem,by the way, why were you in the forest any way?'' At that she looked down and her ears flattened against her forehead. ''I was dared to do it by diamond tiara and silver spoon. They said if i was so brave and awesome and wanted an adventurous cutie mark, i had to go alone.''As she said this tears started to form around her eyes Which made Jackson feel sorry and bring her into a hug. She didn't care, she silently wept onto his chest while he was calming her down saying it's ok. she then calmed down. ''You good?'' ''mhm, /sniff/'' ''Alright, im going to ask one more question,'' She nodds,'' is there a settlement of any kind up this road with a medical facility?'' ''Yes, Ponyville is up the road.'' ''That's good to hear, we'll be moving shortly when i tell the general...'' ''Was he the one you called dad?'' Scootaloo asked all of the sudden. '' Yea, me and my brother are his sons...alright how bout' you gets some sleep and we'll be at ponyville shortly.'' ''O.k night.'' ''Night, and sleep tight.'' With that he puts some covers over her to keep her warm, which was his BDU jacket. Better than nothing. But jackson has a history with children, before he joined the service, he would baby sit for people who were going on trips or other places were children couldn't go. He also had reletives that were five to ten years of age he would spend time with. This basically says experience with kids. So after Jackson saw that she went to sleep, he told told the general about the town that's up the road. Then was told that they would be leaving at 0:600 hours in the morning, until then get some sleep and keep an eye over the girl. Author's Note Did i spell the chapters name wrong? Please let me know...thx Refugees part 2Generals p.o.v It was 0:600 in the morning, and the troops were ready to move out. The planned formation was simple. A group consisting of a tank, aav, and a supply truck lined up in three's. The tank and the aav's would hold twelve soldiers while the supply truck holds ten troops each. To put in english, this is what they came up with.. tank-holds twelve troops each aav-same amount as tank supply trucks-ten troops each This part would go on until the fifth group that would result in just being tanks and aav's. Then that group will go on until its just tanks remaining. And with five tanks remaining with about two hundred troops remaining, behind the eleventh tank there will be one hundred troops. The thirteenth tank will have forty troops behind it follo9wed by the remaining two tanks . ''Are we ready two go?'' the general asked as he hopped onto the first tank and stood at the front of the tanks turret. Normally his son which was his second in command, due to being a quick thinker of bad situations, would be next to him. But he's looking after his brother and the little girl he fount. ''Yes, sir.'' ''Good, all units advance at a slow pace...good enough for the ones walking to keep up and not get ran over.'' ''Roger that.'' Now the ones walking were the ones that didn't mind being on foot, since they didn't enough vehicles with room. But at least the convoy was going at an reasonable pace that allowed them to be a bit more alert. And even though it might take a while to get to the town of ponyville, as it's called, that way they can get situated and find a way to get back home. After they deal with a threat that is being a pest right now. And now they were on the way to the town with hope's of having no problems. But life had plans...rain. ''Great...,'' the general said flatly,''ALRIGHT, TRY TO STAY DRY!!'' ''YES, SIR'' was the soldiers replies. -+-+- Apple jacks p.o.v Well the pegasi really out done their selves a bit...to much I think. Apple jack thought to herself while she was bringing her apple stand back home while walking through the light drizzle so far. Ponyville was receiving the heavy rain right now and then sweet apple acres will get the same result. Now about thirty-five minute's down the road to her farm, Apple jack spots some strange objects with lights shining in front of them. They were moving in a straight line, not to mention strange bipedal beings that looked like a pony but with different features, walking along side the line of objects with dark colored sticks in their hands. ''What in tar-nation?...''She asked herself as the objects and beings started to pass by her. Some looking with confusion, tiredness, or not really caring at all. Then she saw a couple of particular vehicles with flags that had a red cross on them. And these objects and beings were heading to ponyville. She was going to try and get a glance at the one machine that passed that had someone laying down until she heard a honk. ''Hey, move out of the way!!'', one of the creatures spoke from the machine they were in. She complied before she got hurt. And with that she ran back to her house to put up her cart and rushed towards twilight's house in ponyville. -------+ Twilight's p.o.v Twilight was sitting down and reading as usual. While her assistant was feeding his new pet bird, or in this case, a phoenix. It was basically a perfect time to read. But came to a stop when there was a knock on her door. And as usual spike said that he got it and went to open the door. And standing there was none other than rainbow dash. ''Twilight, you /huff/ got to see this /huff/.'' ''What is it?'' she questioned as Rainbow caught her breath. ''Don't know, strange creature's on machines were coming to ponyville and already arrived.'' With that, twilight was up in a second and then ran out to meet these creatures.about two minutes of running. She came to a halt as the creatures and their machines started passing by. Each with different looks. She then started to follow them with other pony residence until they stopped. And who Twilight supposed was the leader of the creatures jumped off the front of the contraption. And then spoke. ''Is there anyone in charge of this town that i can speak too?'' The creature asked. The mayor was about to step out and say something after she just got there but Twilight stopped her. '' I'll do it, you've been through a good bit of stress do to diplomatic problems.'' The mayor nodded. Then twilight spoke up slightly nervous. ''Uhh, that would be me.'' She then gulped. Hopefully Celestia's teachings of diplomacy will pay off.

Alright, every one have a good time, feel free to ask questions and i'll answer them. bye Enemy assault and reinforcementsWhile the general was having a conversation with the local leader of the town, they were ordered to keep watch towards the woods. Though there was one problem, civilians. Especially a certain group of three. Each one kind of bugging some of the soldiers, mainly the pink one. She almost got shot due to her appearing in front of some soldiers that were a bit jumpy. Other than that, things were normal. Now while the soldiers were keeping watch, some civilians came around and talked to most of the soldiers. Some asking questions ranging from... Are ya'll O.K.? What are you? What are those? And so fourth. But there was one particular pony (after the soldiers were corrected many times) that went up to what appeared to be a medical officer. Which happened to be the generals son. Before the general left, he told his son to take care of the wounded. In which the order wasn't ignored. So as he was looking over one of the wounded, he noticed her approach. "Hey buddy, got a minute?" she asked him, a bit demanding in his opinion. he didn't care though, so he let it pass. "Hold on a minute, i'll be with ya in a sec." He simply replied. And true to his word, he was done. You see, when it comes to things dealing with medical problems, the lieutenant can get the job done in a minute. Which made his drill instructor question his speed. And made the lieutenant do more medical work than everyone else. since he gets them done faster than anyone. "Alright, what do you need?" "I was wondering if any of saw an orange filly on the way over here? You know, orange coat, purple hair--" "You mean scootaloo?" This confirmed the cyan Pegasus's hope. She asked where she was, and the lieutenant lead her to one of the aav's as they were called. The hatch was open, and talking with one of the soldiers was scootaloo. Hours before, she had woken up from her nap. Then had her wound checked and bandaged. She was talking to one of the wounded soldiers talk about his time in basic, the pranks they pulled on people (giving scootaloo a few ideas), and even about skydiving. As soon as rainbow saw her, she called out her name and then giving her a hug. Now some would wonder why she didn't act hostile after seeing the fillies leg wrapped up. there are two reasons. One, she was worried about scootaloo. And two, She knew what kind of weapons they wielded. Simply cause equestrian is starting to develop guns that shoot magic. And she wasn't going to take any chance's against them. It had been a few hours later, and there was a group of soldiers watching the tree line's. They chatted for a bit. Played cards for a minute, while looking back and fourth. From them, to the woods. They were even facing in the direction of the tree lines as well. Thirty more minutes pas t, they were about to call in the next group to keep watch, but spotted something. "Hey jack, give me you binoculars." John said as jack handed the binoculars over. John wanted to confirm that there was something wondering around the forest. Praying to god that it wasn't a child. But then he saw and heard something familiar. "INCOMIG!!!!!" John yelled as an enemy missile whistled loudly towards them. Luckily, the two soldiers moved out of the way as the enemy missile engulfed their makeshift watch stand in flames. That's when all hell broke lose. The enemy that humanity had been fighting began rushing out of the woods. Firing rockets, shooting any and all he came across their path of destruction. all the while, the soldiers began to retaliate. Buying the civilians time to get to safety. Protecting them in the process. And even picking up any objects to shield them and civilians. Even one of the tanks positioned themselves in front of the civilians. The entire tank facing forward and unleashing hell upon the alien hostiles. The tank first started with machine gun fire which made the civilians jump a bit. But now, they were going to witness the fire power of the main gun. Inside said tank. "Alright load up a high explosive. I want to see these bastards fly." The tank commander ordered. The ordered didn't go unnoticed. The loader took the shell and loaded it into the chamber. "Loaded!" being struck by the pin "FIRE!" The commander shouted as the gunner pulled the trigger. Inside the barrel, The sound of the round being struck by the pin was heard. And a little light appeared at the back of the round as it sped through the barrel at the speed of sound and ending as the round shot out the barrel with a loud boom. The round sped through the air towards its target. And ever so quickly hit its mark as time slowed down for the enemy. The explosion blowing them back from impact. The plume of smoke engulfing some of their comrades'. And as the time slowed for them, it began to speed back up for the human soldiers. Each soldier fought hard to protect the civilians from getting harmed. They held their own For an hour. losing twenty soldiers and receiving fifteen wounded so far. When they thought that they had a chance of winning. One of them spotted a group of enemy gunships/drones. Some soldiers had stingers on them for anti air. And they quickly put them to use. Now as they fired, they began to hear a familiar tune play seemingly out of nowhere. Then all of the sudden. the closest enemy drone was blasted into pieces as a familiar voice sang. as well as seeing an all to familiar jet. "DA DALA DA DA DALA DA DAVDLAAA DA DALALA!" All the soldiers cheered as the A-10 Warthog rained total hell upon the enemy. It was even enough to make satin cringe. But still, to add more of the confusion of the civilians, the entire battalion began to sing along with the tune. Until one soldier straight up yelled. "HELL YEA VALKERY, SEND THEM TO HELL...WHOO!" After the initial surprise attack. The lieutenant immediately contacted valkery. Asking him how he got here. who was with him. And how he was doin. What the lieutenant got in return made him more happier than a child on Christmas day. Currently, valkery was heading towards an enemy position to provide air support along with keeping enemy aa off five C-17s along with twenty F-22 raptors. And twenty F-15 fighter jets. And additional fourteen A-10 warthogs. Adding up to a total of fifty four jets. basically this was a force to be used as in his term, "beat the ever lasting shit out of the enemy with force." Still, after that the lieutenant had asked a question that baffled the lieutenant. Why is the jet and ammo stocks unlimited. Come to think of it, the lieutenant didn't realy notice until now. Not even one soldier called out for extra mags. Not even a clip. But he decided to look into it later. after they were done talking, valkery had rendezvoused with his flight. He was on a basic scouting mission. Thirty minutes later, the general came back to access the situation. And from the looks of it, he was actually fighting. Just not in the same area. He even did a recap on his experience. And for the rest of the day, the soldiers were patching up the wounded. Cleaning up any debris. And even putting out fires. There's this one particular group that is lifting up a burnt beam of wood. And under that wood, was a child with a broken leg. After getting the beam off, one of the other medics grabbed the child and rushed him towards a medical tent. Few hours later, it was finally turning dusk. Camps have been quickly set up for the soldiers and the wounded. It was even near the hospital. Everything had been running smoothly so far. the general was keeping the camp in check. The medics were trying their best to patch up the wounded. Patrols have been put on high alert, even a tank. After telling the general about the air force aircrafts nearby, the general was beyond happy. But the problem is, the Air force needs a landing strip. A big landing strip. After deciding to deal with it later, the lieutenant looked around to notice that the ponies were looking towards the air. So did he. only to see a carriage land in front of him. Then the door opened. And stepping out were ponies with both a horn and wings. The first was a alabaster pony. She was wearing a simple white dress with gold trimmings, and wore a tiara. The second was a blue colored pony. Wearing a dress similar to the first one, but it was purple with black trimmings. And she was wearing a obsidian colored tiara. And the third one was pink. Wearing a pink dress with purple trimmings along with a crystal tiara. the lieutenant noticed the civilians bowing. He just stood there. Not paying mind to any of the looks from certain civilians. But what he was paying mind to was some of the guards. Drawing up their weapons and aiming them towards the lieutenant. almost immediately, they were met with their soon to be opponents weapons. Twenty compared to six. Overkill, not in the lieutenants mind. Then out of nowhere, the white one spoke. And it was a tone that reminded the young lieutenant of his mother. The exact voice she had. If the general, his dad heard, this he would brake down in tears. "Lower your weapons please." The white one commanded. Each of her guards lowering their weapons reluctantly. Same with the human soldiers. "I apologize for the hostility. i'm princess celestia, co-ruler of Equestria. And the same with my sister, Princess luna, also co-ruler. And our niece, Princess cadence. ruler of the crystal empire." She stated as each one of them nodded. "Nice to meet ya'll. I'm Lieutenant Woods, Second command of this battalion." The lieutenant greeted with a salute. "I see. May we see who is in charge of this battalion?" Princess Celestia asked. "Yes ma'am." The lieutenant replied. He also hoped that one of the guards knew that he caught what they said. Each one throwing insults towards him. Funny thing to, They were private first classes. Their ranks showing on their armor. Probably just three months of experience. As the lieutenant led the group throughout the camp, he could see the expression of the princesses faces. One of shock and sorrow. Even when passing the wounded soldiers, as well as civilians. After about a minute, they reached the command center. As soon as they entered, the lieutenant snapped to a salute. "Sir, a couple of important people need to talk with you." He said to the general as the princesses entered. "At ease. Bye the way, you're needed near the medical tents." The general stated. And with that, the Lieutenant left. "Alright, I'm General Woods. Commanding officer of this battalion. What do ya need?" Author's Note Hey guys I'm back. Finally got a chapter up. And good news, I'm not deleting this story. I'm continuing it. Thanks to some friends of mine on this sight. Well I hope that you'll enjoy this chapter. And thanks for your support. And as always, have a nice day.
Prologue/ambushDate: 3-27-2013 time: 14:00 central day time Operation: Hammerhead Fire, destruction, death. That was all they saw, each and every U.S Soldier ranging from the Army, to the Coast guard. No one would have seen this if ''THEY'' hadn't shown up. An alien race that came down to earth hell bent on taking our water source. And putting the entire world at war. These beings, with mechanical arms and legs, oval like head and weapon attached to their arms, just came down from space and started destroying everything. The battle had gone for a week straight, then the U.S and the world finally found a turning point in the battle. All thanks to a group of Marines, Now a battalion of the United States Army infantry of about two thousand strong, a division of thirty Abrams tanks, twenty aav's borrowed from the Marines, ten supply trucks, and five squadrons of A-10 Warthogs containing ten each, loaded with J-Dam bombs. This force was gathered to take out the remaining enemy forces that gathered together in one area for their last line of defense. And as of now they were on their way to the targeted designation. ''All units, all units were coming into the targeted area, how copy?'' ''Solid copy,'' General Woods replied. He was in command of this battalion heading towards the last known location of gathered forces, Albany La. They don't know why for that particular choice, but they're there. And now they had arrived to the location, in urban territory. ''Alright, we're in the dead zone now,'' Stated one of staff sergeants,''when we get to---''*BBOOMM* the sudden sound that marked ambush. ''AMBUSH, ALL UNITS BAIL OUT AND ENGAGE, KEEP CLEAR OF THE ENEMY FIRE LETS MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!'' The General yelled out at the top of his lungs as each soldier went for cover dodging the whistling shots fired by the enemy. The sounds of gunfire being exchanged. With everything that happened so suddenly, the battalion of army soldiers barely had the time to respond but still being able to get through for about ten minutes. ''HOSTILES ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE BUILDING AT 3:00, THROW A HIGH EXPLOSIVE IN THERE!'' One of the soldiers yelled out, as well as seeing his order go through. Then the sound of the 120 millimeter cannon sounding off confirming his choice and blasting a huge hole in the wall. Leaving fire in its wake. Then followed by the sounds of jets dropping their payload on other enemy positions.The battle has lasted for half an hour all ready, and the battalion already lost five-hundred troops with fifty wounded, not even a minute later, strange light started to surround the remaining five hundred troops along with their vehicles and simply vanished. But something else got transported as well.
Refuges part 1A peaceful trail leading towards ponyville, no further than twenty miles leading north. Where ponyville was peacefully enjoying the majestic light of celestia's sun. Then something strange started happening on this trail and one bright flash of light brings forth a battalion, or whats left of the poor souls, of U.S Army soldiers and the remaining vehicles. What's remaining of the battalion of two thousand troops is five hundred that got telleported from the battle with fifty wounded. Fifteen Abrams tanks, ten aav's, and five supply trucks. As soon as the soldiers were finally teleported from their world, they were baffled about the location and event that just took place. Except General Woods. ''Uhhhhng *long sigh* ok, that was more than just strange...sweet dear God of mighty my head hurts,'' The general stated,'' well, at least were safe for now...LIEUTENANT!'' ''Yes sir,'' One of the generals sons said while running up to him. ''Is your brother doing alright,'' The general asked with a hint of worry. ''His only wound was third degree burn on his left left from a enemy missile, but he's holding out.'' ''Good, good, go check the wounded and see what problems need to be fixed then come back to me, got a mission for you and your team. and ill go check on your brother.'' ''Yes sir.'' The general then goes off to find his sons brother. Ever since the generals sons joined the armed services, he promised to keep them safe. A promise that he had made to his wife. Soon he found a medical area were the wounded were being patched up. The general ended up passing at least twenty wounded so far until he fount his son. ''Hey dad, don't worry i'm fine,'' He says. ''You sure, with a wound like that, even i would be in the slightest of pain,'' The general replies,''but really...i came to check on ya' to see how you were doing, not to mention i gotta keep you safe.'' ''Yea, we remember what mom said, keep them safe or ill be the one kicking your butt to the other side of heaven.'' ''Yep, those were her last words, even took the liberty of writing it down. And some how ended up making it a motto for a regiment.'' So after a few more minutes of talking with his son, the general went to meet up with the lieutenant and his team. Now the Lieutenants team was a simple four man team. A medic, which was the Lieutenant. An engineer, who was transferred from his unit to the lieutenants, and carries a SMAW with five rounds, and one AT-4 rocket launcher. The support class who carrie a M24OB LMG with a bullet chain that connects to his ammo bag on his bag, and also carries a mortar to fire upon enemy positions. And last but not least, the recon. He carries his personal favorite Beretta 50.cal sniper, a pac containing three c4. And also carries a soflam for marking targets. ''Everyone here, good,'' general woods stated as he arrived. ''Alright, your mission is to go north through the forest to look for any kind of settlement. When you find a settlement, check and see if they have any kind of medical facilities.Then come back and report to me at one of the tanks. And be careful, please. We good?'' ''YES, SIR,'' the team replied in unison. ======= Lieutenants p.o.v After two hours of walking through the forest, the team stop to take a five minute break to drink some water that they had in canteens. The forest was close to being unforgiving, but the heat was taking its toll on the soldiers. But none the less they're pulling through. It had been three minutes so far, and the team were just about to get their things back together since they also ate some MRE's that they brought, until they heard a child scream. The first to respond was the Lieutenant and then the rest of his team. They ran until they fount a clearing and the child that they heard scream. Soon as they saw her, they didn't know what to think, especially the lieutenant. Then out of no were, shots rang out from the one thing that they thought didn't come through the portal. ''TAKE COVER AND ENGAGE,'' the medic yelled out as he and his team exchanged fire with the enemy. ''COVER ME, I'M GOING AFTER THE GIRL.'' the medic yelled with that he quickly rushed towards the girl who apparently got hit through the leg, but not before dodging an enemy missile that flew past his head causing him to hiss in pain as he felt the extreme heat hit his face. Then followed by a loud boom. But he still continued rushing towards the girl. When he got there, he was able to get a clear image of what she looked like. Purple hair, orange skin or in this case fur, and hooves as feet. And she was also wearing a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. But he focused on the situation at hand, a third degree burn on her leg from the enemy gunfire. Using his experience with medical training, he began to go through the necessary operation for this particular wound. and thanks to his experience in the medical field, he managed to get it done within the minute. then the battle stopped. The lieutenant looked around to see that his team repelled the enemy while he was dealing with the girls wounds. ''Alright, lets get back to the battalion so she can get better medical attention,'' the medic ordered as he picked up the girl who was probably at the age of ten. Surprisingly she didn't show any refusal of any kind, but she simply asked. ''Who are you.'' The soldiers looked at her and smiled. Then the medic said,''we'll let ya know when we get back towards our base camp.'' -=-=-=- Generals p.o.v The general was sitting by the tank looking at the plans that were drawn or written out on the side armor. The plans were mapped out for when they started to move to a different location. With the general was some other squad leaders from different squads, more specifically tank commanders. They were about to discuss another plan until they heard rustling of leaves. They looked to see the generals son and his team. But his son was carrying a creature that resembled a little girl, which was sleeping while being carried. Well it was probably six pm considering the time of day. ''Lieutenant, why are you carrying a little girl back here when we don't know what she is.'' ''She got wounded from enemy fire, dad, she needs medical attention. third degree burn through her leg.'' ''so that confirms my thoughts, alright get her patched up and see if she can tell us were we're at and if there's any settlement up north.'' With that the lieutenant went to bring the girl to one of the aav's which were makeshift imfirmeries. and began to operate on her leg that had the third degree burn. after half an hour of fixing the wound and a bit of wincing from the girl, even though she was asleep much to the medics relief, the wound was good as new. Then about an hour later she awoke. ''Uhhg, where am I?'' she asked ''At our base camp, got your leg fixed up....if it's alright, would you mind answering some questions for me?''The medic asked as he got some water for her to drink. ''Sure, if you can answer mine first.'' ''O.k, my name is Jackson Woods, but since i'm a soldier i go by woods.'' ''Nice to meet ya, names scootaloo, and thanks for saving me back there from those creatures.'' ''No problem,by the way, why were you in the forest any way?'' At that she looked down and her ears flattened against her forehead. ''I was dared to do it by diamond tiara and silver spoon. They said if i was so brave and awesome and wanted an adventurous cutie mark, i had to go alone.''As she said this tears started to form around her eyes Which made Jackson feel sorry and bring her into a hug. She didn't care, she silently wept onto his chest while he was calming her down saying it's ok. she then calmed down. ''You good?'' ''mhm, /sniff/'' ''Alright, im going to ask one more question,'' She nodds,'' is there a settlement of any kind up this road with a medical facility?'' ''Yes, Ponyville is up the road.'' ''That's good to hear, we'll be moving shortly when i tell the general...'' ''Was he the one you called dad?'' Scootaloo asked all of the sudden. '' Yea, me and my brother are his sons...alright how bout' you gets some sleep and we'll be at ponyville shortly.'' ''O.k night.'' ''Night, and sleep tight.'' With that he puts some covers over her to keep her warm, which was his BDU jacket. Better than nothing. But jackson has a history with children, before he joined the service, he would baby sit for people who were going on trips or other places were children couldn't go. He also had reletives that were five to ten years of age he would spend time with. This basically says experience with kids. So after Jackson saw that she went to sleep, he told told the general about the town that's up the road. Then was told that they would be leaving at 0:600 hours in the morning, until then get some sleep and keep an eye over the girl. Author's Note Did i spell the chapters name wrong? Please let me know...thx
Refugees part 2Generals p.o.v It was 0:600 in the morning, and the troops were ready to move out. The planned formation was simple. A group consisting of a tank, aav, and a supply truck lined up in three's. The tank and the aav's would hold twelve soldiers while the supply truck holds ten troops each. To put in english, this is what they came up with.. tank-holds twelve troops each aav-same amount as tank supply trucks-ten troops each This part would go on until the fifth group that would result in just being tanks and aav's. Then that group will go on until its just tanks remaining. And with five tanks remaining with about two hundred troops remaining, behind the eleventh tank there will be one hundred troops. The thirteenth tank will have forty troops behind it follo9wed by the remaining two tanks . ''Are we ready two go?'' the general asked as he hopped onto the first tank and stood at the front of the tanks turret. Normally his son which was his second in command, due to being a quick thinker of bad situations, would be next to him. But he's looking after his brother and the little girl he fount. ''Yes, sir.'' ''Good, all units advance at a slow pace...good enough for the ones walking to keep up and not get ran over.'' ''Roger that.'' Now the ones walking were the ones that didn't mind being on foot, since they didn't enough vehicles with room. But at least the convoy was going at an reasonable pace that allowed them to be a bit more alert. And even though it might take a while to get to the town of ponyville, as it's called, that way they can get situated and find a way to get back home. After they deal with a threat that is being a pest right now. And now they were on the way to the town with hope's of having no problems. But life had plans...rain. ''Great...,'' the general said flatly,''ALRIGHT, TRY TO STAY DRY!!'' ''YES, SIR'' was the soldiers replies. -+-+- Apple jacks p.o.v Well the pegasi really out done their selves a bit...to much I think. Apple jack thought to herself while she was bringing her apple stand back home while walking through the light drizzle so far. Ponyville was receiving the heavy rain right now and then sweet apple acres will get the same result. Now about thirty-five minute's down the road to her farm, Apple jack spots some strange objects with lights shining in front of them. They were moving in a straight line, not to mention strange bipedal beings that looked like a pony but with different features, walking along side the line of objects with dark colored sticks in their hands. ''What in tar-nation?...''She asked herself as the objects and beings started to pass by her. Some looking with confusion, tiredness, or not really caring at all. Then she saw a couple of particular vehicles with flags that had a red cross on them. And these objects and beings were heading to ponyville. She was going to try and get a glance at the one machine that passed that had someone laying down until she heard a honk. ''Hey, move out of the way!!'', one of the creatures spoke from the machine they were in. She complied before she got hurt. And with that she ran back to her house to put up her cart and rushed towards twilight's house in ponyville. -------+ Twilight's p.o.v Twilight was sitting down and reading as usual. While her assistant was feeding his new pet bird, or in this case, a phoenix. It was basically a perfect time to read. But came to a stop when there was a knock on her door. And as usual spike said that he got it and went to open the door. And standing there was none other than rainbow dash. ''Twilight, you /huff/ got to see this /huff/.'' ''What is it?'' she questioned as Rainbow caught her breath. ''Don't know, strange creature's on machines were coming to ponyville and already arrived.'' With that, twilight was up in a second and then ran out to meet these creatures.about two minutes of running. She came to a halt as the creatures and their machines started passing by. Each with different looks. She then started to follow them with other pony residence until they stopped. And who Twilight supposed was the leader of the creatures jumped off the front of the contraption. And then spoke. ''Is there anyone in charge of this town that i can speak too?'' The creature asked. The mayor was about to step out and say something after she just got there but Twilight stopped her. '' I'll do it, you've been through a good bit of stress do to diplomatic problems.'' The mayor nodded. Then twilight spoke up slightly nervous. ''Uhh, that would be me.'' She then gulped. Hopefully Celestia's teachings of diplomacy will pay off.

Enemy assault and reinforcementsWhile the general was having a conversation with the local leader of the town, they were ordered to keep watch towards the woods. Though there was one problem, civilians. Especially a certain group of three. Each one kind of bugging some of the soldiers, mainly the pink one. She almost got shot due to her appearing in front of some soldiers that were a bit jumpy. Other than that, things were normal. Now while the soldiers were keeping watch, some civilians came around and talked to most of the soldiers. Some asking questions ranging from... Are ya'll O.K.? What are you? What are those? And so fourth. But there was one particular pony (after the soldiers were corrected many times) that went up to what appeared to be a medical officer. Which happened to be the generals son. Before the general left, he told his son to take care of the wounded. In which the order wasn't ignored. So as he was looking over one of the wounded, he noticed her approach. "Hey buddy, got a minute?" she asked him, a bit demanding in his opinion. he didn't care though, so he let it pass. "Hold on a minute, i'll be with ya in a sec." He simply replied. And true to his word, he was done. You see, when it comes to things dealing with medical problems, the lieutenant can get the job done in a minute. Which made his drill instructor question his speed. And made the lieutenant do more medical work than everyone else. since he gets them done faster than anyone. "Alright, what do you need?" "I was wondering if any of saw an orange filly on the way over here? You know, orange coat, purple hair--" "You mean scootaloo?" This confirmed the cyan Pegasus's hope. She asked where she was, and the lieutenant lead her to one of the aav's as they were called. The hatch was open, and talking with one of the soldiers was scootaloo. Hours before, she had woken up from her nap. Then had her wound checked and bandaged. She was talking to one of the wounded soldiers talk about his time in basic, the pranks they pulled on people (giving scootaloo a few ideas), and even about skydiving. As soon as rainbow saw her, she called out her name and then giving her a hug. Now some would wonder why she didn't act hostile after seeing the fillies leg wrapped up. there are two reasons. One, she was worried about scootaloo. And two, She knew what kind of weapons they wielded. Simply cause equestrian is starting to develop guns that shoot magic. And she wasn't going to take any chance's against them. It had been a few hours later, and there was a group of soldiers watching the tree line's. They chatted for a bit. Played cards for a minute, while looking back and fourth. From them, to the woods. They were even facing in the direction of the tree lines as well. Thirty more minutes pas t, they were about to call in the next group to keep watch, but spotted something. "Hey jack, give me you binoculars." John said as jack handed the binoculars over. John wanted to confirm that there was something wondering around the forest. Praying to god that it wasn't a child. But then he saw and heard something familiar. "INCOMIG!!!!!" John yelled as an enemy missile whistled loudly towards them. Luckily, the two soldiers moved out of the way as the enemy missile engulfed their makeshift watch stand in flames. That's when all hell broke lose. The enemy that humanity had been fighting began rushing out of the woods. Firing rockets, shooting any and all he came across their path of destruction. all the while, the soldiers began to retaliate. Buying the civilians time to get to safety. Protecting them in the process. And even picking up any objects to shield them and civilians. Even one of the tanks positioned themselves in front of the civilians. The entire tank facing forward and unleashing hell upon the alien hostiles. The tank first started with machine gun fire which made the civilians jump a bit. But now, they were going to witness the fire power of the main gun. Inside said tank. "Alright load up a high explosive. I want to see these bastards fly." The tank commander ordered. The ordered didn't go unnoticed. The loader took the shell and loaded it into the chamber. "Loaded!" being struck by the pin "FIRE!" The commander shouted as the gunner pulled the trigger. Inside the barrel, The sound of the round being struck by the pin was heard. And a little light appeared at the back of the round as it sped through the barrel at the speed of sound and ending as the round shot out the barrel with a loud boom. The round sped through the air towards its target. And ever so quickly hit its mark as time slowed down for the enemy. The explosion blowing them back from impact. The plume of smoke engulfing some of their comrades'. And as the time slowed for them, it began to speed back up for the human soldiers. Each soldier fought hard to protect the civilians from getting harmed. They held their own For an hour. losing twenty soldiers and receiving fifteen wounded so far. When they thought that they had a chance of winning. One of them spotted a group of enemy gunships/drones. Some soldiers had stingers on them for anti air. And they quickly put them to use. Now as they fired, they began to hear a familiar tune play seemingly out of nowhere. Then all of the sudden. the closest enemy drone was blasted into pieces as a familiar voice sang. as well as seeing an all to familiar jet. "DA DALA DA DA DALA DA DAVDLAAA DA DALALA!" All the soldiers cheered as the A-10 Warthog rained total hell upon the enemy. It was even enough to make satin cringe. But still, to add more of the confusion of the civilians, the entire battalion began to sing along with the tune. Until one soldier straight up yelled. "HELL YEA VALKERY, SEND THEM TO HELL...WHOO!" After the initial surprise attack. The lieutenant immediately contacted valkery. Asking him how he got here. who was with him. And how he was doin. What the lieutenant got in return made him more happier than a child on Christmas day. Currently, valkery was heading towards an enemy position to provide air support along with keeping enemy aa off five C-17s along with twenty F-22 raptors. And twenty F-15 fighter jets. And additional fourteen A-10 warthogs. Adding up to a total of fifty four jets. basically this was a force to be used as in his term, "beat the ever lasting shit out of the enemy with force." Still, after that the lieutenant had asked a question that baffled the lieutenant. Why is the jet and ammo stocks unlimited. Come to think of it, the lieutenant didn't realy notice until now. Not even one soldier called out for extra mags. Not even a clip. But he decided to look into it later. after they were done talking, valkery had rendezvoused with his flight. He was on a basic scouting mission. Thirty minutes later, the general came back to access the situation. And from the looks of it, he was actually fighting. Just not in the same area. He even did a recap on his experience. And for the rest of the day, the soldiers were patching up the wounded. Cleaning up any debris. And even putting out fires. There's this one particular group that is lifting up a burnt beam of wood. And under that wood, was a child with a broken leg. After getting the beam off, one of the other medics grabbed the child and rushed him towards a medical tent. Few hours later, it was finally turning dusk. Camps have been quickly set up for the soldiers and the wounded. It was even near the hospital. Everything had been running smoothly so far. the general was keeping the camp in check. The medics were trying their best to patch up the wounded. Patrols have been put on high alert, even a tank. After telling the general about the air force aircrafts nearby, the general was beyond happy. But the problem is, the Air force needs a landing strip. A big landing strip. After deciding to deal with it later, the lieutenant looked around to notice that the ponies were looking towards the air. So did he. only to see a carriage land in front of him. Then the door opened. And stepping out were ponies with both a horn and wings. The first was a alabaster pony. She was wearing a simple white dress with gold trimmings, and wore a tiara. The second was a blue colored pony. Wearing a dress similar to the first one, but it was purple with black trimmings. And she was wearing a obsidian colored tiara. And the third one was pink. Wearing a pink dress with purple trimmings along with a crystal tiara. the lieutenant noticed the civilians bowing. He just stood there. Not paying mind to any of the looks from certain civilians. But what he was paying mind to was some of the guards. Drawing up their weapons and aiming them towards the lieutenant. almost immediately, they were met with their soon to be opponents weapons. Twenty compared to six. Overkill, not in the lieutenants mind. Then out of nowhere, the white one spoke. And it was a tone that reminded the young lieutenant of his mother. The exact voice she had. If the general, his dad heard, this he would brake down in tears. "Lower your weapons please." The white one commanded. Each of her guards lowering their weapons reluctantly. Same with the human soldiers. "I apologize for the hostility. i'm princess celestia, co-ruler of Equestria. And the same with my sister, Princess luna, also co-ruler. And our niece, Princess cadence. ruler of the crystal empire." She stated as each one of them nodded. "Nice to meet ya'll. I'm Lieutenant Woods, Second command of this battalion." The lieutenant greeted with a salute. "I see. May we see who is in charge of this battalion?" Princess Celestia asked. "Yes ma'am." The lieutenant replied. He also hoped that one of the guards knew that he caught what they said. Each one throwing insults towards him. Funny thing to, They were private first classes. Their ranks showing on their armor. Probably just three months of experience. As the lieutenant led the group throughout the camp, he could see the expression of the princesses faces. One of shock and sorrow. Even when passing the wounded soldiers, as well as civilians. After about a minute, they reached the command center. As soon as they entered, the lieutenant snapped to a salute. "Sir, a couple of important people need to talk with you." He said to the general as the princesses entered. "At ease. Bye the way, you're needed near the medical tents." The general stated. And with that, the Lieutenant left. "Alright, I'm General Woods. Commanding officer of this battalion. What do ya need?" Author's Note Hey guys I'm back. Finally got a chapter up. And good news, I'm not deleting this story. I'm continuing it. Thanks to some friends of mine on this sight. Well I hope that you'll enjoy this chapter. And thanks for your support.
