Ponies of the Battlefield
Prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterAt the league of doom AKA Operation Firestorm
The American recon grabbed the ladder, and climbed the next platform. The sound of battle was loud. Gunshots, Helicopters, Jets, Tanks, and the occasional whiny child. As the recon climbed the ladder, he could see a U.S. attack helicopter spinning out of controll. The tail was on fire, and it seemed to be sending out a distress signal.
The recon pulled himself up from the ladder to the platform. He could see the battlefield in all it's gorey glory. The recon, nicknamed "Dead Eye" for his skill with any type of scoped rifle, set up his M40A5 on the rail. He wasn't too far away from the fight, so Dead Eye had to watch is back for any type of RU soldier coming to stab him in the back.
He aimed down the 12x zoom scope, and scanned for RU soldiers. Seeing none, he decided to climb to a higher platform to see more of the action. He jumped on the ladder like a spider monkey. He pulled himself onto the next platform just in time to see a RU jet spin out of controll, and blow up mid air. The pieces of the jet fell out of the sky, and rained down in the warehouse area. Probably crushing a few unlucky people.
Dead Eye sighed, he didn't like killing people. He was a jokester, prankster, and anything else you could think that is immature for a 23 year old elite USMC sniper. The recon ran up to the edge of the platform, and examined the battlefield again.
The deafening sound of a sonic jet hitting full speed peirced the air. Moments later an american "Super Hornet" Flew right over the platform, shooting bursts at a target unkown to Dead Eye.
The sniper set up his rifle on the safety rail, and looked through his scope. He saw a squad of three, an engineer, a medic, and a support. They seemed to be standing on a big random piece of metal inserted into the groun in the middle of the desert.
Curious, Dead Eye opened comms with the squad.
"Hey... Did you find anything?" Dead Eye asked. He saw the support jump at the sudden voice comming from his radio.
"Who is this?" The support said, he sounded young, maybe even younger than Dead Eye.
"I'm a sniper, I can see you through my scope. You look like you found something interesting..." Dead Eye explained. He did a quick scan for any targets out in the open before looking back at the squadron.
The support sat down on the edge of the large metal piece, as his squad-mates tried to pry something that was on the center of the metal. "We did, it's an underground bunker entrance, but it's locked which drives us to belive that there are Russians inside." The support said, he stood up, and looked around for any type of Russian ground forces. "Hey.. would you mind covering us, while we blow this thing open?" The support finished.
"Sure," Dead Eye said. "Any enemy ground forces that show their face won't have one if they're out of cover too long!"

Point of View: Code-Name Bullet Spray
I turned off my radio, and turned to my squad-mates. "We have a recon covering us, let's blow it!" I said enthusiastically. What... I like blowing things up...
I set a C4 on the small door, and backed off about ten feet. My squad-mates were already out of the blast area, so I didn't have to wait for them. I set the C4 off, and it peeled the metal like a huge square banana. The door was gone, and the area around it looked... Well... Blown up, I guess.
"Let's move in!" The engineer of my squad commanded. He jumped into the darkness, and seconds later a 'thump' was heard. "It's only about five feet, c'mon let's go!"
I was the next one in, then the medic. It was a dark tunnel, about five feet tall, and about six feet in width. The engineer had a flashlight on his G36c, so he went first.
"Man... It's dark in here..." The medic said.
"What gave you that idea?" I asked, full of sarcasm. He glared at me, and then went back to watching for RU soldiers. The LMG was starting to feel heavier in my hands. Some sand was starting to come in through the cracks in the stone wall, and some was piling onto the floor. It was now I noticed that there was a two inch layer of sand on the stone floor.
"Hey, are you guys worried about the bunker caving in, at all?" I asked, a tiny bit worried... Okay, I was freaking out, but is that really important?
"The walls look tough enough." One of my squad-mates said, I couldn't tell which one.
"Hey! There's a light up ahead!" The engineer said, suprised. "Pick up the pace."
The tunnel opened up into a huge cavern. It seemed to be an underground control center. I aimed down the iron sights on my M240, and scanned for russians. We walked ahead a few feet, before the ground started rumbling, and the ceiling, and the walls.
"BACK TO THE TUNNEL!" The medic commanded, and then, along with the engineer, sprinted back into the tunnel we recently walked out of. I was too shocked to move though.
I could only stare, as I realized that it was too late to run. The cave started to collapse around me, and I could only stand still, and stare at all of the destruction.

Dead Eye stared as the ground near the metal opening caved in. He quickly tried to contact the support again, but all he heard was static. "Damn..." He said, frowning slightly. Dead Eye sighed, and decided to get back to sniping enemies.
The battle had been going on for about four hours, and the land was full of craters from tanks, helicopters, mines, grenades, or anything else that you could think of.
Dead Eye saw a russian machine gunner on a building. He was pinning down a squad with his RPK-74. Dead Eye calculated the distance, and the wind, and then set his scope to make his gun accurate. The soldier aimed a little bit above the russian, it seemed to be hours as Dead Eye slowly pulled the trigger. A deafening sound echoed through the battlefield, and a bullet sped through the hot desert air towards the enemy soldier.
The bullet hit the soldier, and pierced his head. The RU soldier dropped to the ground. A small blood puddle leaked out from the hole in his head. Dead Eye pulled the bolt back, and the shell popped out, and rolled around on the ground. Dead Eye was about to aim down the scope again, when he heard a creak behind him.
When he turned there was a russian soldier with his knife out. Dead Eye quickly equiped his M9, and lined the iron sights up with the russian soldier, who was suprised that the recon knew he was there.
Before he could pull the trigger, an out of control Havoc crashed into the tower both of the soldiers were on.
