Mission 2 - The Canyon

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Dear Commander Night Light,

Though your first mission was a success, we’re far from done yet.
If we want to secure Equestria again, we have to go in deeper into the land. Your task is to clear this sector of the enemy base and any enemy vehicles endangering our operation. We need it for our reinforcement route.

Good Luck.

Princess Celestia

New buildings:
- Research lab for AA Guns and Cannos
- Tankfactory

This time Night light starts with a fully operational base himself. HQ, bit mine, magic pump, light weapon factory and a light ion gun turret to defend one of the base entrances. He also has three vehicles to start with. One jeep wiesel with a laser gun, 1 dingo with a dual laser gun and a pioneer vehicle. These are used to get resources fields that are out of one’s base building radius. But the base is missing one important building: a power plant! So 700 bits spend to produce one in the HQ.

After the building is placed, Night spends 1100 bits to build the new research lab. He also orders the jeep to guide the left base entrance as the dingo is sent near the magic pump to overlook the canyon of any foes.

The lab is placed near the bit mine and Night starts to research a single barel cannon for 500 bits. While he is doing that, engine sounds make themselves hearable. The PSW spots a green jeep with MG and opens fire with its dual laser.

*Pfew* *Pfew* The jeep turns this gun and returns fire. *Boom*
+ Unsere Einheiten werden angegriffen! +

The jeep climbs up the canyon hill to the right base entrance and is soon out of the field of fire from the dingo. However climbing up the hill means the green enemy makes himself visible for the ion gun turret. He takes aim and fires 3 shots in total to destroy it.

Nice! A new toy to play with, Night Light thinks to himself. He spends 500 bits at the light weapon factory to reinforce the armor strength of the PSW and 300 bits at the HQ to do the same with the light base turrets. After some time he does that again and once the research is finished he spends 700 bits to produce a two times upgraded light base turret with a cannon that can now (thanks to the research) shoots farer and does more damage.

Night Light wants 3 more cannon turrets and orders to produce 10 cannon dingos at the light weapon factory. After some time has passed two more turrets where ready to place. Night decides that these two should be placed near the magic pump to help the dingo with the canyon. Suddenly a new voice can be heard. Like tracks running over ground … 2 moments later a green light tank with ion gun moves through the canyon, trying to get to Night’s base. The PSW and the 2 turrets open fire, the impacts are devastating, though the tank still can return fire for one time. With one more shot from one of the cannons the ‘Panzer Dachs’ explodes in a furious lightshow. The last turret is placed on the left base entrance and soon the vehicle productions starts. Some time and some attacks of dingos with mortars or light tanks with ion gun and the loss of the dual laser PSW later, Night Light’s army is ready to rock!

He sends the 10 cannon dingos through the canyon where they encounter two light tanks. Because of the combined fire power of ten fully researched weapons the damage is enormous and soon the panzers where gone. They climb the hill on the other side of the hill only to be welcomed by one turret and one tank, both monted with an ion gun. The battle is short but quite intense. 2 dingos are to 30% of their health. The vehicles move on, further into the base of the enemy. The tankfactory is the first building they encounter. Its chimneys are smoking and some producing sound can be heard from the inside. The dingos opens fire and the factory is badly damaged, but its front gate still opens. This time a dachs with a double barrel MG comes out. It makes an entrance like a superhero, because shortly after its starts moving out, the factory explodes and collapses behind him into a pile of dust, smoke and fire. The tank opens fire at the badly damages dingos and take them both out, before the dachs vanishes from the map. The rest of Night’s army in now in “fire at will” mode and shoots every building they come across.

First the light weapon factory, then the research lab, then the power plant. Production noises fill the air again. What is Wensley planning now? Night Light thinks to himself. Shorty after the dingos took out some bits silos and magic tanks (like in the bit silos, some of the magic is stored in them) the enemy HQ makes itself visible. The PSW’s circle it and fire shot after shot at it. Suddenly a base turret with double MG is placed in between them and it opens fire at the weakest dingo it could find. Two more dingos explode into metal shrapnel before the turret is down. The six that are left starting to take down Wenselys HQ for good. A massive explosion erupts from the HQ’s depts and it vanishes from the map in a spectral lightshow and sharp metal pieces are send airbourne all over the place. One of the pieces unfortunately hits one of the dingos right in the cockpit. It’s badly damaged and reduced to 20% health but dingo, weapon and pilot are still alive and ready for further orders from Night Light.

The base is literally destroyed but the mission is not over jet. Why not? Night questions himself. He sends his army to the left side of the earlier base. Soon pumping sound can be recognized, which means there is an enemy magic pump somewhere. Soon after, the said building is spotted and destroyed, but the mission is still running. “WHY?!” Night screams into the air. Then it is like a light bulb is going on in his head. Wensley had no bit mine in this base. So it must be somewhere else! And with that thought from the table, Night Light sends his army to another small canyon pass that was located a bit further from the magic pump.

Soon mining sounds can be heard. Found you! Night laughs madly to himself. Suddenly a small green ball appears out of the dark, its flying straight into the dingo that barely managed to survive the HQ explosion, is now killed because of that. + Sie liegen unter feindlichem Feuer! + The five dingos that are left are spotting a small turret with ion gun and opens fire at him. Soon the turret is gone and some metal pieces are flying wildly around. One of them hits the bit mine and it’s enough to kill the building, with the help of the dingos cannon fire.
Mission complete!!!

Night Light’s Diary – Day 3

Well … another mission, another victory for peace in Equestria once again. I really, really hope that the kingdom is only one of a few places where shit is going down like this. I don’t like the current state of war and trouble everywhere. I want calm times and days back that I could spend with my wife Velvet or my kids.
But my mission as Celestia’s personal crudaser for peace isn’t over yet. She told me that there are many more missions to do before I could even think about returning to home. Well … so far for my plans. Just throw them into a trash bin.
I really hope Velvet, Shining and Twilight are alright.
