Rage From The Stars
Violence Begins (Las Pegasus Attack)
Previous ChapterI sat with Twilight and Aidan waiting for the others for around 15 minutes then 9 figures enter the door "Sorry for the wait, Guys" said Nate as they sat down to access the Situation, we were quiet for a minute I then said "Ok so since the city is a cloud one, we need a pegasus or two to get up there" Then Fluttershy backed up slowly but then Rainbow hops forward with a smile and says "I'll help" I catch a glimpse of Kyle trying to convince the timid pony to join and after a few seconds she nods and trots over to us and we headed out the door towards the Hafeet APC that was still parked behind the Tree, We entered after everyone and the 2 pegasi said their farewells.
We drove towards the cloud city which took 2 hours out of our time, finally we reach the 200 Meter mark from the city so we exit the truck and let the two pegasuses do their job though Fluttershy was having a bit of trouble with the clouds she caught on soon afterward, 20 minutes later the 50 ft stairs were finished and Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash returned to the truck and there they will stay inside till we were done our business, I also taught them the basic knowledge of a Walkie-Takie just in case if they are under attack or we call them out. I looked around to see that everyone was armed with LMG's: Elijah had an H&K MG4, Aidan had an RPK-47 equipped with a drum mag, Nate had an IMI Negev which was just suitable for his size, Luke had an FN Minimi and finally Kyle had an M249, I was tossed an AEK-999 from Elijah.
We started to walk up the stairs which were uneventful until we got to the top, We were confronted by around 7 dozen Changelings but I said to my group "Remember, No Russian" I said as I slam back the lever causing a satisfying *Chik-Chik* and I pointed it forward towards a swarm of bugs and began firing causing Changeling limbs to fly off as the dropped one by one, This sent the message to the rest of the crew to began firing upon our foes. I saw one on the ground that was still alive in front of me so I began to stomp on its head till it caved in, Most of the changelings began to flee but some stayed back and tried to get at us, I saw Elijah fall down from a Changeling and ran over as he tried to punch it off.
Elijah's POV
I was pushed over from behind as I heard a hiss from the same Direction so I roll over onto my back and began to swing at the half bug, half pony gaining a few hits but no effect, It was until I saw a but of a gun end up bashing against the jaw of the Changeling causing its jaw to fly off and tumble over to the left so I get up off the surprisingly hard ground and continued to fire upon the groups of bugs heading our way.
I then saw a Cloud house to my right so I ran over and bashed in the door to see 3 Changeling quivering in fear but after what they've done I've somewhat lost guilt for them so I fired upon the shaking opponents causing red to paint the walls and floor and began out the back door to see more Changelings who were confused by the *CAKCAKCAKCAK* in the background, I lifted my MG4 and began dropping them like flies
Luke's POV
We were mowing them down like blades of grass which reminded me of it because of the pieces the were flying off the unlucky winners of the lead barrage but then that came to a stop as I heard a *click* come from my gun "COVER ME! I'M RELOADING" I shouted as I began to unload the box magazine and replace it with a fresh one, I dragged the rope of bullets into the top of the gun and pulled the large lever on the side. *Chik-Chik* was all I heard as I stood up but when I got up, I ran down an alley and onto another street to see more than 20 Changeling on the road. I pulled my gun up and began releasing lead from the killer contraption like there was no tomorrow.
I come across a couple changeling who Hasn't expired yet so I helped them by butting them a few time in the head with the back of my gun which either pieces to fly off or the heads exploding easily, I came across a barbed wired house which had a lot of commotion going on inside which brings an idea from my head, I pulled out a bottle of vodka that I stole off of Raiden, I popped off the lid and took a swig of it before putting a rag in it and lighting the rag on fire with a match. Let's hope cloud are flammable, I threw the bottle over the fence and into an open window which caused multiple ears piercing screeches and screams as Ablaze Changelings fled out of the house all the while trying to put themselves out but for most of them it was too late and for the rest, I just released a piece a lead into their head.
Aidan's POV
I was walking beside Raiden and Kyle as I shot a couple fleeing Changelings, The Street were still flooding with Changeling that came from houses to check what the commotion was about but sadly the only thing they saw was a bullet shooting through their bodies, but that soon was temporarily stopped when my gun made a *click* meaning the box ran empty so I quickly replaced it with a new one and continued the onslaught.
The streets ran with Blood as bodies spurted out of the holes in the bodies, I littered holes into the ones who fled while Raiden and Kyle and Nate dealt with the attackers, The streets turn quiet except for the gunfire coming from Luke and Elijah so I turned to my right and ran toward Elijah to help him.
Kyle POV
It was Sickening, seeing the body parts fly off the poor creatures but I kept strong and continued to fire upon the Changelings, It was until the streets were ridden of noise but were replaced with a ghost town silence. I see Aidan go right towards Elijah while Raiden and Nate went to Luke who was on the left which left me alone in the bloody streets, I then began to sob on my walk to the other side of town and after 7 minutes of walking I come across an Intersection which had Changelings running towards a Bizarre building which had Riviera Hotel & Casino on the front of it but then I hear gunfire much closer than before which caught some in the fire causing them to fall motionless.
They sped toward the Casino and as soon as they entered they barricaded the front door, which was fast considering how big the objects were.
Nate's POV
We searched the building for another entrance but unfortunately, we did find bundles of TNT which was littered around the establishment so instead of we going in, they won't come out so we follow the wire which was attached to the blocks and after a 5-minute walk we reach a house which had the wire going through the front door, we enter and follow the wire upstairs which lead to a room that had a good view of the Casino and an old fashion detonator in the middle.
Everyone takes position in front of the window to watch the fireworks and I 'accidentally' leaned on the handle that was on top of the Detonator causing it to push down as I let out an "Oops" and after a few seconds a loud *BOOM* came from the casino as it proceeded to collapse to the ground.
Raiden's POV
A huge Grin appeared on my face as I watch the Casino Fall to the ground with dust and debris flying up from the base of the building. After the dust settled we exit the house and I radio Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.
Rainbow Dash's POV
We waited for what felt like an hour in this hot metal box they call safety, Then after what seemed like an hour we hear a loud explosion from the city and after another minute I hear a voice come through the device that Raiden taught me how to use "Everything's clear, just try to avoid looking at the streets" so I press the button on the side "Ok we're coming and why do you not want to look at the streets" Then I release the button which caused a beep from the 'Walkie-Talkie', after a brief second Raiden's voice came through again "you'd know if you look but you don't want to know".
I toss the device away and get out of the car to the burning light of the sun, Fluttershy got out and covered her eyes with her hoof obviously blinded as well, we took flight when we got used to the sun but when we looked below I almost vomited at the sight of changelings laying dead in the road, Body parts were missing from the corpses as well as the blood that flooded the streets, I look over at Fluttershy who was looking with a blank face which was not normal.
We reach the town hall to see the 6 Humans sitting around the front door checking the equipment that they had, We touch down on a clean spot of cloud "WHAT THE BUCK DID YOU DO?!?" I yelled at Raiden, How can such a creature kill so guilt free. He stood up and walked over "Well what does this look like?" he said with a confused face, he was pulling the smart-flank attitude "Well it looks like a bucking blood bath, THERE WERE OTHER OPTIONS THAN KILLING THEM!" his face grew impatient "Oh yeah, Well what other options are there?" He said with a smug frown "WELL YOU COULD HAVE NEGOTIATED" he then laughed which confused me "Oh yeah and get attacked by the ruthless things, I don't think negotiations work for bugs" he almost yelled.
"You're a Monster" he froze then his face turned to pure anger which caused me to back up into the blood, "A monster? A MONSTER? WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU USED THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY HUH?" his statement made me feel ashamed "We failed and we didn't defeat Chrysalis" he stepped backward and said "Well there ya go, there are NO other options. If it wasn't for us you guys would be goners and I hate to see innocent hurt or be killed, those things have NO soul, NO guilt just pure evil" I started to feel the tears welling up in my eyes, he sighed "I'm sorry but do you think I enjoy killing, do you think any of us enjoy killing. we do what we do because we have no choice", he then stepped forward and pulled me into a hug.
"I will make your people happy but there will have to be a lot of sacrifices" he released me as I look at Fluttershy who was sobbing into Kyle's torso as he held her in his arm's, Then a golden flash appeared in front of us and there was the rest of my friends and Princess Celestia, I was going to say something but was cut off by multiple screams from the ponies who just arrived.
Raiden's POV
I gained a migrane from the ear piercing screams that came from the horrified ponies but I yelled "QUIET" everypony to turned their attention to me "I know you are terrified of the massacre that happened but there was nothing else we could do, they resorted to violence so we put down the threat" They were brushed aside from Celestia who still had a blank face but I could see it in her eyes: Anger, Greif, Regret but there was also hope then she spoke "Well we did try the Elements of Harmony a few times but all times were.... unsuccessful so I will have to accept that you're our only hope"
I smiled a little but then a hiss was heard as a Changeling came from nowhere and charged at me but I was fast enough to grip onto its horn and put it in a headlock, I twisted till I Felt and heard a sickening pop from the bug's neck as it fell limp. I dropped the body onto the ground and looked at the scared faces, I then walked past the ponies followed by my friends towards the truck to head back to Ponyville.
after the hour drive back I got out of the truck and set up a presentation about Human history from 1920 to 2017 and after the 30 minute set up the golden flash happened again and there was the Princess and the Mane 6 still somewhat shaken up by the sight of a massacre. Twilight then questioned "Whats with this equipment" I answer "I'm getting to that" I then press a key on my laptop and switch frames to the intro "Today I will be talking about human history starting from 1920 to 2017 aka present" I Talk to them all about Hitler, ISIS, WW1 and 2, etc.
Rarity then says "Good lord, you must have it hard deary", It was quiet then there was a knock at the door and Spike answered to see a Royal Guard come in and say "Princess, Your presence is required at the castle at once" Celestia complied and stepped out the door. "well any questions?" I ask but no responses so I pack everything up and put it in the truck which took a good 30 minutes again.
It was getting dark so I decided to head home with Rainbow Dash, after the silent 5-minute walk it was around 7:00 PM so I intended to go to sleep immediately, We enter the door and let Rainbow in first who still decides to keep silent. I walk in behind her and say "I'm sorry I yelled at you" she froze and looked at me with a smirk "it's ok I just never saw so much... death" she said with a sniffle, I followed her upstairs after we both ate a Salad. I reach her bedroom and she immediately slipped into bed, I followed along once I discarded my gear and the clothes that covered my scarred body, I laid my head down and I felt two hoofs cross over my back so I roll over to see Rainbow snuggle into my chest, I wrap my arms around her and fall unconscious.
