War stories - Season 4: When the bombs fell

"We are trying to get confirmation" The platoon heard over the radio "Confirmed reports of nuclear explosions at Canterlot and Cloudsdale. Dear gods." The reporter said and then only static

"Nuclear?!" A soldier exclaimed

"This is platoon 2 of the 97th Mechanized Infantry division. Canterlot command can you hear me?!"" The commander of the platoon shouted over radio, only static replied

"We have to get back. We got to help Canterlot!" A soldier said, others agreed

"Negative. Our orders are to reinforce the 12th Infantry division, and that's what we're gonna do." The commander replied

Suddenly there was a blinding flash, every soldier that hasn't gone blind when they looked at the source, looked at the extending mushroom

"Isn't Les Manes that way?" A soldier asked

"Who cares! What the fuck was that?!" Another shouted

"That was one of those mega-spells" Rainbow said

"Watch out! A soldier shouted and jumped off the truck and into a ditch" The other looked at him confused as they drove past, that was until he pointed at several big zebra planes

"Eyes on!" A soldier shouted, the whole convoy stopped dead in it's tracks. The anti-air trucks where maned and started to shoot at the planes, and before they could shoot down even one of them, they dropped their payloads. Several big bomb, a very big bombs. The soldiers looked in horror as they hit the city, once again several blinding flash occurred, robbing several other soldiers the eye light... at least those dumb enough to look at the explosions. They screamed in pain and confusion at why they couldn't see anymore

"Shit! Get down!" Rainbow shouted as she jumped out the truck and tried to jump into the ditch, only for the blast wave to hit her while mid-air. The last thing she saw was and heard was soldier screaming in pain as body parts got ripped from them and they flew around. Rainbow's last sight was a house wall nearing rapidly and then... black.
