Fullhouse

Location: National Mall “WWII Memorial”
Time: 19:40hrs

Cpt. James Davis 13th Airborne Battalion "Stalker Actual"

“Captain, The First wave of evac choppers under way the next wave will be leaving in 10!” a voice broke out over the Comms.

“Copy that, I want all civilians out of here asap the faster we get them gone the faster we can focus on kicking these bastards out of our city.” Cpt, James replied over his mc getting a few hurrahs from other Joe boys on chanel. Looking around the the memorial one would see chaos as Men Women and children were being lead into the back of multiple V-120 Valkyries. The very same that were deployed from the USS. Regan. It had only been ten minutes since the president's address to the nation but in that time period there was a flood of civilians begin to enter the National mall going to the various evac areas from the Memorials to Capitol hill.

The Valkyries that came in from the Reagan were not empty it as many of the Joe Boys learned. When each one came down to land and to deploy their cargo ramp each were loaded with, M5A2 Schwarzkopf MBTs, M118 Fastback IFVs, M320 Spartans, and a C1A5 Archon with a full complement of PD-6 Rottweilers to ensure the security of the civilians and Valkyries. With the Archon on scene with the PD-6s sitting at strategic points around the mall many of the Joes felt secure while the other vehicles set up around the valkyries. While the M320 Spartans rolled away from the site to set up where they could fire on any target from Andrews to well past the river.

“Captain Davis we have unknown contacts coming from the South West, Sir. It looks like a large flock of birds numbering in the hundreds.” a male voice said calmly over the comms causing something in Cpt. James Davis stomach to drop as he looked around to see many a civilian still rushing to enter the Valkyries. Bring his rifle up Sgt. Davis began to bark out orders over his mic.

“All units in Evac site we have possible contacts inbound from Andrews. I want all available units ready to shoot on the first site! Arcon Get the PD-6s guns ready and let's get those IFVs ready!” Sgt. Davis barked into his mic as looked in the direction of the reported contacts.

“Sir the group seem to split into Six groups and they appear to be circling around up to box us in sir,” the same voice called out over the comms.

“Copy your last,” Cpt. Davis managed to say before the sound of PD-6s main gun opening fire followed by IFVs causing many of the civilians in shout in terror as the defining sound of M5A2 Schwarzkopf tanks began to ring out as they too unloaded canister shells into the air getting a few of the incoming hostiles and sending them hurtling to the ground. Not long after that did all hell broke loose as fire began to rain down from the sky as dragons dived bomb the mall cutting grabbing both civilian and the Joe alike. When the dragons passed the unthinkable happened as bodies fell back to earth landing on others and killing or knocking out those who were unlucky and fell victim to the tactic.

“They are attacking civilians at the Washington monument. We need support now!” a soldier shouted over the comms before more reports flooded the comms.

“We have fucking Gryphons over at Lincoln Memorial!”

“They are attacking the White House!”

“There's…..Focus fire on that girl!......The one with the fucking farm tool Corporal!” The last report caught Sgt. James Davis attention.

“What the fuck is going on?” Sgt. James asked himself as he took cover behind a nearby barrier as bolts of light began to whizz by striking anything in their way. From the sound of man and woman alike shouting out in paint and the smell of burning flesh began to permeate in the air. Take account of his weapon Sgt. James Davis peeked over the barrier and brought his weapon to bare on the approaching knights? Pushing the thought back Davis began firing at the knight noticing the bullets ricochet off before they got within 10 feet of the approaching

Keeping low Sgt. Davis ran to the nearby Schwarzkopf tank and opened a panel revealing a phone connected into the tank's internal comms. Grabbing the phone Sgt. Davis headred the voices of those inside the Schwarzkopf tank along with all information of the tanks call sign and commander..

“How and the fuck are our shells not getting through?”

“Keep your head on marine and load the next shell!”

“Its fucking useless Tom the canisters aren't breaking through!”

“I know that Jack but with civilians so close we can use anything else!”

“Sgt. Davis to Iron 1-1 recommend to switch to Sabot rounds to punch through whatever the fuck is stopping our guns.” Sgt Davis said over the comms.

“Sgt do you understand that if those rounds bounce there will be casualties from blue on blue.”

“I’m well aware of that Iron 1-1 but right now we are running out of options!” Sgt. Davis manage to say as a ball of fire shot over the Joe Boys colliding with one of the valkyries attempting to lift off with its civilian cargo. Only to have be cut in half as the ball smashed into the hull of the craft sending it into the ground colliding into other near by craft.

“They shot down Raider 2-5 and Raider 2-7. Send someone to check for survivors!” The comms channel began to roar to life as more and more balls of fire streak across the sky colliding with the slower valkyries. “Someone get those fucking longarms going and pound these fuckers!”

“Shit, okay mark switch to Sabot shells might as well send at rounds down range and hope this works.” Iron 1-1 said over the comms channel for the Schwarzkopf.

“Roger cap, one thunderbolt primed and ready!” Mark the Schwarzkopf loader replied as the barrel of the tank leveled out to a flat firing line.

“Jack fire when ready!” Tom the tank's commander shouted over the mic while the sounds of metal and bone colliding began to draw near as Joeboy and medieval knight began to fight CQC.

“Fiering!” Jack shouted as the deafening boom of a sabot shell reverberated through Sgt Davis ears causing him to fall to the ground and try to recover his hearing.

“Captain!”

*RINGING*

“Captain!”

*RINGING*
“Captain Davis!” a voice shouted as voices began to shout out just as more Sabot shells began to scream as they pierced the air around them colliding with the shield that was projected forward from the knights giving them cover from the bullets that would have normally pacified the rounds.

-_-_-

The knights were stunted as the mages from the back began to simply collapse as the metal boxes began to fire with a new found vigor as their projectiles managed to punch through the magical field and cut through knight after knight as if they were nothing but sheets of wet parchment. Applejack wasn't please with the sight of the stallions and mare in her charge falling like apples in harvest. She knew that if she held at this pace her army would falter and lose ground possibly leading to something she would never consider surrender.

Looking at her map that was infused with magic so it showed her exactly were her friends and her charges were on the field she could see Rarity, Rainbow, Twilight, Pinkie, and Fluttershy were making solid gains on the humans a smile broke across her face.

Rolling up her and stowing it in her bags Applejack picked up her shield and sword and with a might yell ran forward into battle as mare and stallion joined her.

“For sol and lua!” they all cried out running towards the dug in humans as the small projectiles ricochet off the manges magical field Applejack would give it to these humans even though they seemed outmatched in skill by the Equestrians; they always put up a fight. But in their blind running forward to the lines held by the humans. Applejack failed to see the smile on the human's face.

Within seconds of closing in on to the humans, she began to hear, bouts of pain and the deafening sound of explosions near her as mare and stallion alike were thrown aside by the blast followed by some being outright torn to shreds. The familiar smell of blood began to fill here senses. All around her the mares and stallions she lead fell even those who wore enchanted armor meant to withstand dragon fire. All that was left of her charge was her and those lying on the floor beaten and in agony. The once most feared paladin was standing alone as the humans with the upper hand began to encircle around her with their weapons drawn. With defeat all but affirmed for her. Applejack dropped her Sword and shield and fell to her knees.

“Hold fire!” a voice shouted as the human held their aim on the Armored mare. Which was then followed by more voice shouting “Holding fire,” or “Affirmatives.” Applejack was surrounded with a sick feeling welling in her stomach.

“I knew I should've stayed home,” Applejack said before she notices a pair of black boots in front of her causing her to look up and see the mask of a human.

“No shit bitch,” The human said as he raised his rifle and hit her clean across her helmet knocking her out and sending her helmet flying off.

“Captain James Davis to all armored units in the national mall use sabot rounds to push through the shields and aim for the ones that look like wizards, over” The human said as he looked to the scene around him before grabbing heavy duty zip ties from his belt and securing them around the woman's wrist behind her back.

-_-_-

“Miss Fluttershy we have word that lady Applejacks forces have been wiped out.” a pegasus mare said as she withdrew her blood stained sword from a human who had managed to sneak up on the The element barer known for her love of animals.

“That is not good to here, is she alright?” the mare asked as a loud explosion could be heard sending dirt up into the air.

“From the report Laddy Applejack was captured and dragged back into the human's base along with any wounded.”

“This can't be goo-,” Fluttershy wasn't able to finish her sentence as a horn was sounded signaling a capture of an objective and by the pitch it resonated it must of been Rarity's group. She was tasked in capturing the white building that was surrounded by fences. The building was to be used as a new base for Princess Luna and Celestia. “Good news it seems, have our forces shift north to regroup with Lady Rarity.” Fluttershy said as she and the pegasus messenger dance around the flying projectiles coming from the humans.

“Will do Lady Fluttershy,” The messenger said before taking to the sky only for a loud explosion the pierce the air as a large Dragon hit the ground with blood beging to rain down on the equestrians. The messenger turned around in time to see the motionless dragon lay on the ground with a massive hole where its back would of been. It was then laddy Fluttershy shouted out and her movements picked up in pace. Looking back to the sky The messenger pegasus could see white tails streak across the sky in an arch. Then at their apex they would seem to pick up speed as the rocked back down to the ground killing and griffon, dragon, and or pony unlucky enough to be it its path.

Sargent, Thomas Lyell 13th Airborne Battalion

“Hoorah! That's what I’m talking about!” Lyell shouted as the body of one of the dragons fell out of the sky as grid smashers rained down most of them hitting the dragon on its back killing it. “Good strike Long Arm, you just knocked out a one of those fucking lizards!”

“Copy that Full House we’ll mark that on the gun afterwards,” a female voice replied over the comm.

“All right boys focus fire on the bitch with the pink hair I don't want her to get any closer!” Lyell yelled to his squad as he reloaded his Scar A-1. But before he could put the rifle to good use he felt a sharp pain and a loss of breath as a warm feeling began to spread down from his neck.

“Who are you calling a bitch?” a motherly voice sang from behind Lyell and his squad stood stalk still as the very woman who had been jumping about the battlefield with her animals killing any and all who were caught out in the open. “Now drop your weapons please and apologize for killing my friend.” The woman asked again and pressed her dagger harder on Lyles neck causing it to cut deeper. Lyell looked to his squad mates and could see the hesitation in all of their faces. Slowly reaching down to his belt Lyell slowly pulled the pins on his ET-MPs and set the devices for a 10 second time before nodding to his squad. “What's the matter cat got your tongue?” The woman asked while Lyell's squad began to step back. “Aww, why so scared you all were just cheering as my friend's body came crashing down. What happened to all that bravado, or are you all simply weak minded and never expected to fight in such close quarters.”

“5,” Lyell spoke softly just under his breath.

“I’m sorry what was that?” Fluttershy asked as she pressed her dagger harder against the human's neck.

“4,” Lyell said painfully as what little air he could get into his lungs which consequently brought blood along to fill his lungs.

“Aww, are you counting down til your death?” Fluttershy pestered. “How sweet.”

“3.”

“Why don't I just make this quicker for the both of us,” Fluttershy said coldly as she drove her dagger deep into the human's neck before looking up to see the others begin to run in the opposite direction. “Why are you leaving! Come back here I’m not done with you yet!” Fluttershy shouted tossing the now lifeless human body aside and taking off after the others, but was thrown forward as a force pushed her followed by an excruciating pain knocking her clean out.

Looking back Corporal O’Donald felt a pang of sadness as the man she knew as her own family takes his own life. Truly a well-placed shot could have killed the woman, but the armor the woman wore deflected every shot they fired on her. “See you in the hereafter Lyell,” Corporal O’Donald said under her breath as she caught up with the remaining of her squad.

“Fuck fucking fuck fuck!” Private Kenny shouted as Corporal O’Donald caught up with the rest of the squad. “Why are these asshole so hard to kill!”

“Can it Kenny the last thing we need to do right now is losing our shit. Remember we still have a mission and I for one don't plan on failing this one,” Lieutenant Rodriguez said as check his gear and began looking around to see the white orbs that held aloft in the sky above illumination the mall. They were not owned by the JSF since the only lighting provided for the evacuation where flood lamps.

“Still what the hell was that woman wearing are guns couldn't hit her let alone get through to her, and where the fuck did they come from!” Private Martin said as removed his helmet to clean off the dirt and grime from his face revealing his dark skin tone before placing it back on.

“The hell if I know Martin but what I do know is this. We need to make sure that the rest of those valkyries take off before they are shot down along with the civilian cargo.” Corporal Jack said as he knelt down next to Lieutenant Rodriguez and patting him on his shoulder. “What now Lieutenant?”

“Well orders still stand and by the looks of the sky,” Lieutenant Rodriguez said while the white flares lit the ground and sky around them. Allowing him to see the battle raging all around them as griffins and dragons along with others that looked like the woman from before. All of who were dancing across the sky attempting to avoid the wall of lead being shot up by the IFVs and PD-6s. “We aren’t out of this just yet.”

“Where the hell is the air force? Yeah, I know the IFVs and PD-6 are kicking some ass but I could really go for some air cover when dealing with that bitch again. I mean she dodged every fucking round we fired at her” Kenny said getting an agreement from all around.

“Incase you forgot Ken, the air force base was attacked first and the Reagan only has land-based units,” O’Donald replied.

“Right I forgot about that part….well what’s the plan boss,” Private Kenny looked to Lieutenant Rodriguez. The lieutenant said nothing as he brought his hand to his earpiece.

“Overlord this is Full House actual Captain Lyell is K.I.A and we have fallen awaiting orders, Over” Lieutenant Rodriguez said into his mic.

“Roger that Full House are you able to recover the body, Over.” a male voice said stoically.

“Negative Overlord, the captain's body is gone. Standing by for orders. Over.”

“Copy that Full House, You are to retreat back to the WWII memorial and regroup with the Stalker Actual and await further orders. Overlord out.”

"Copy that overload, Fullhouse actual out."
