It all happened too quickly. One moment I hear Christains voice, the next I hear bullets flying everywhere. I quickly took cover in the cockpit when I saw a trail of bullets heading towards me. Thankfully I made it in before I got hit. I tried looking though one of the tiny holes that covered the ship. It was too hard for me to see anything. Smoke and the sparks from the bullets impacting the ship made it hard to see anything. It seemed like the bullets were coming from the trees.

I tapped my communicator and sent a signal out to Joseph and the other ships.

"Joseph, are you there! We need asistance now!" I yelled, trying to make sure that the bullets didn't cover my voice.

"We read you, we'll be there in thirty seconds! Hold off for a bit!" he said.
I groaned and turned off my com. I midas well take some out. I walked to the back of the ship where it tore in half. I wasn't worried about me missing my shots or anything. I knew that any bullet that left my gun would hit it's target. I was just worried about my team.

I looked down my holo sight and checked where I thought the bullets were coming. I was happy to see the enemy where I expected them. They were shooting from the tree line and some were sitting high in the trees. Their usual white armor making them stick out in the forest and night. I saw a grunt reloading his rifle. I put my sights on his head. I squeezed the trigger and felt the gun kick back slighly. I saw the bullet travel through the air and hit him in the head, his braines splattering all over his comrads behind him.

I continued taking out grunts. I would see a grunt reloading or looking in an opposite direction. Each one I saw I used one bullet and the bullet connected with their face. I only wondered how many the team and Christain had taken out. I heard chatter on my com. I tapped my head and listened in.

"Captain, we're here. We're coming in hot, do you see us?" he called out. I looked up and, like he said, I saw two dropships coming in hot with it guns shooting everywhere. It didn't seem they knew where they were shooting at, only trying to make the drop off point clear. I saw the rest of the troops jumping and ziplining down. I also saw some of the IMC grunts shooting at my men. I was not okay with this.

Not caring about the bullets shooting at me, I stepped out the ship and made my way to the rest of my men. The IMC saw me stepping out and began shooting me. I quickly reloaded my flatline so I had enough ammo to kill these fucks. I side stepped every bulled that was fired at me. I quickly switched from target to target, leaving nothing but a bloody hole through their forehead. They never stand a chance.

I few seconds passed before I ran out of ammo. I saw that I took out enough to where the rest of the men were moving towards us without trouble. I could see the four ponies trying to avoid the bullets as they ran to the ship. I ran to the ponies, reloading my gun in the process. I made it to the ponies and stood close to them. Any grunt that would shoot in their general direction I would shoot them in the face. We made it to the ship, me and the men taking cover in the debree.

I saw Joseph crouched behind a piece of an engine, shooting at some grunts with his costom R-101 with a laser sight. I called out to him, trying to get his attention. He ducked under cover and looked at me.

"Joseph, we need some time to get the titans in! We don't know if the IMCs titans are around!" I yelled over the sounds of gunfire. He nodded. He then stood up and ran towards the gunfire. I did a double take at what he was doing. I noticed that the enemy grunts saw him. They began focusing their fire on him. I began shooting the enemy, giving him cover so he could pull off whatever the hell he was trying to do.

Joseph kept running straight at the enemy, he wasn't even shooting his gun. That was until I saw him press a button on his forearm. I smiled as I figured out what he was doing. He quickly ducked behind cover, making sure he as quick enough to where they didn't see him. I couldn't help but chuckle as I saw what the grunts were shooting at. As soon as Joseph jumped, he was replaced with his hologram still running at the enemy. The grunts kept shooting at the hologram, confused at why he wasn't dying. Me and Joseph stood from our cover and began picking off one grunt after another, killing about a dozen grunts.

I took my attention off the grunts and let Joseph handle the rest. I looked down at the four unicorns that were ducked under cover. They looked panicked and scared. I switched cover and crouched next to them. I got their attention by pushing them around. That got their attention since they all looked at me suprised.

"We need our titans here! Can you get them here?!" I asked, yelling over the gunfire. They looked amongst each other and back at me. One of them nodded. I nodded back and told them to follow me. I made my way to the dropchips cockpit for cover. I made sure the ponies made it in before me. They stood in a circle in the ship and closed their eyes, their horns beginning to light up with energy and start the spell.

"How long do you guys need!?" I asked. One of them answered, not looking up from the circle.

"Only a few moments. Tell your soldier Christain to get ready. We'll drop it right in front of the fight." he said. I nodded and touched my com piece.

"Christain, are you there?! I yelled. I waited for a few seconds. No response. I began to panick. Was he dead? I then heard his com speak up.

"Sorry about that cap, one of the guys got hit. I had to pull him to cover. What is it?"he responded. I sighed in relief.

"Get ready for Excalibur to drop in. Once he gets here, we'll need you to clear the grunts out and give us more time to get Gus in here as well."

"Got it cap!" he confirmed. I then heard one of the unicorn guards speak up.

"It's coming! Get ready!" he called out. The unicorns horns began to glow brightly before a loud boom blasted in the distance. I looked out the ship and saw Excalibur falling from the sky. It fell only about eight stories before it hit the ground with a loud THUMP. I touched my com piece.

"Go out there and give those bastards hell!" I ordered.

"With pleasure, cap!" I heard him yell. I then saw Christain run from the other side of the ship towards his titan. I saw the grunts focusing their fire on the titan. I poked my gun from the ship and gave him covering fire. I saw Christain make it to his titan and hop in. His titan stood up and looked at the enemy. He turned on his external speaker, while removing his minigun off his back.

"Time for you bitches to see what an ass whoopin is like!" he yelled. He pulled the trigger on his gun and bagan firing hundreds of bullets on the enemy.

Author's Note

I wrote this as my first real action piece. I'm open to tips of how to make it better.

I am happy to get this out there since I feel i owe it to ya'll. I will have the next one tonight or tomorrow, depends on what I need to do.
I might start another charcter opening thingy. I have people, but I think I need some ponies in this for some diversity since I suck at making up characters. Guess we'll see
till next time! PEACE!!
