Joining The Lunar Republic
Life at camp with General Pinkie
Load Full StoryNext ChapterI woke up that morning feeling groggy and tired but nevertheless, I sleepily followed Bolt Chaser to the mess hall for breakfast.
"How are you not as tired as me?" I asked groggily.
"What can I say? I'm used to it." Bolt Chaser replied.
After we ate General Pinkie stepped up to the podium.
"Everypony!" She shouted, "I have planned a surprise attack on the Solar Empire on Wednesday!"
We all groaned, it was Monday and some had arrived the day before, like me. We trained for the rest of the day and when we finally ate and went to bed, I was so dead tired that I fell asleep before my head hit the pillow. We got up the next day and trained again, this time training our rifles and practicing throwing fake grenades. Finally, Wednesday rolled around and we grabbed our guns and packed our grenades in our saddlebags. We then marched from Fillydelphia to Canterlot and took a few trains on the way. General Pinkie loaded her gun and headed to a small clearing where we could set up a makeshift camp to wait out the rest of the day. We took turns standing guard as the others ate and rested. Once my turn to guard came around, I loaded my gun and headed to the concealed entrance to the clearing. I saw Solar Guards roaming the forest where the clearing was. I reported this to General Pinkie and she said to get everyone into this completely concealed cave that was covered by vines. The Solar Guards entered the clearing but didn't see the Lunar Republic soldiers hiding in the trees. They shot the guards with poison darts and stole their armor. We all donned their armor to stand guard in case more came to look for the other guards. Then, when it went dark, we attacked.
