Chapter 3 Crown Fields Battle

Previous Chapter

It had been 5 years of hard training for Aurora, Dogfight was pretty hard at first but with a great teacher and Commander to help it became easy, and when the Commander is Scootaloo, she is part of the Crusaders Pack, a group of Pegasus, Unicorns, and Earth pony regimes leaded by Commander Sweetie Bell, Commander Apple Bloom and Commander Scootaloo. She had learned sword fighting and hoof to hoof combat just in case she had injured her wings.

"Alright soldiers, the war had progressively gotten better for our Holy Empire." Cheers and shouts came from the rows of 3rd regime, Scootaloo raised a hoof and silence fell. "But we cannot falter, the Lunar Armies are being pushed back as we speck and soon, they we will reach there 2nd largest city, Crown City. But they need air support to take down enemy fire from above, that's were you come in, our best three flyers will be flying in the front. They are Zinc Wave, Sunny Days and Northern Lights, they will be leading in our teams and they will give the command to all of you as I am not able to fly." Scootaloo had lost her wings in battle when she was shot down with a new weapon called Seeker Arrows and now has mechanically wings and every month need a tune up.

At the break of dawn they set out, they headed east from the cloud base and headed for the the front lines, the soldiers were stopped in there tracks as a blockade surround the city, the Armed Carriages or Tanks were blasting magically shells at the front of the blockade, and the solders were either shooting each other or in hoof to hoof combat, suddenly on Aurora's radar that was place on her right eye started to get airborne readings, soon the Lunar Air Force was in sight.

"Ready your Automatic Arrow Blasters!" She commanded. These blasters were standered in the air force and were strapped to there sides with controls for the hooves. When they were in range she fired and the others followed suit, she swooped up and down taking fliers down one after another, she than looked behind her and saw a tail-er, she tried to shake'em by swooping up and down yet to no avail, then she made a guts-e move, she dove down straight towards the battle field were tanks were firing and solders were clashing and swooped as low as she could, she dodged shells, grenades and even arrow firer, her follower was struck by friendly fire and crashed into the ground taking out a a friendly tank. Aurora began to swoop up but a arrow struck her side and she fell to the ground in pain, her turrets fell off as a safety feature, she tumbled until she came to a stop, when she tried to get up the pain shot through her like a train.

"Well hello Solar Slave." the gruff voice came from behind her, she looked to see a unicorn with black armor of the Lunar Army with bow and arrow in his green magic.

"Get away Lunar DEMON!" She screamed as she felt hot liquid ooze from her wound.

"Fat chance-" he was struck by a club from behind and fell concussions, a earth pony warrior with gleaming white armor stood and a club in hoof.

"Are you alright?" she asked.

"Yeah, but I think we should address the arrow in my side." Aurora said. The earth pony lifted her onto her back and took off at a steady pace avoiding enemy contact at all costs. "What's your name warrior?" She asked.

"Its Earthquake." Earthquake answered.


After getting patched up Aurora and Earthquake were talking about there lives and training when Aurora heard shouting and ran to the source.

"LET ME GO!!!!" The same unicorn that tried to end her was being put onto a prisoner cart.

"Where are they going?" Aurora asked.

"To Prison camps for now, or at least that's what I heard." Earthquake said. "But I heard that your Squadron will be giving aerial support."

"Wait you heard from where?" She asked.

"Commander Apple Bloom told me, were good friends." She said with a smirk.

"Northern Lights! Go and prep your Squadron!" Commander Scootaloo shouted as she walked up beside the other two commanders.

"Yes Mama!" She shouted back and ran off to her squadron as best she could.
