War For Equestria: The Battle For Winter Village

The base was in a frenzy and Commander Firefly didn't really make it help, "REPORT!!!" Firefly screamed.

"One of the winter villages was destroyed with an artillery barrage." one of the soldiers replied.

"Who was the Commander?"

"The Commander was kidnapped." Rainbow Bliss replied, "He was the one they wanted."

Firefly grinned, "Why?"

"Each Commander of the village is given a special power that will allow them to summon the crystal heart at any time. And that's probably why they raided the village."

Firefly sighed, "That would have been helpful a while ago."

Rainbow chuckled, "You never asked."

"Oh Celestia please help me."

Suddenly another soldier got a report that made the situation worse, "Sir?"

"What is it?"

"We have an army marching right toward another village."
` "Well obviously."

"But they are carrying some sort of weapon, signature shows it holds the heart."

Firefly looked surprised, "Wait, what?"

"And by the looks of it, it's aimed right for the Crystal Empire."

"Then we need to do something about it." Nighthawk said as he walked in with bandages still wrapped around his body.

Firefly looked surprised, "But, Command-"

"None of that now. Sunny, give us some more info on this weapon."

Sunny activated the control table reveling a map of the village, the weapon, and the Crystal Empire. "This weapon is a mere doomsday device, which is capable of causing a deadly winter, and compared to the winter in the Crystal Empire."

"We're talking the deadly Arctic winters." Nighthawk replied.

"But that can't happen without the heart?" Firefly asked.

"As mentioned before," Sunny Continued, "It can't be possible unless the dark side of the heart is harnessed."

Firefly grinned, "And how is that possible?"

Rainbow Bliss butted in, "The heart is like a free spirit, and when free it's channeling more of its energy towards the light side. But if you just cage it and imprison that energy..."

"Then it can be like a power hungry beast." Nighthawk finished.

"Precisely."

"What's its radius?" Firefly asked.

Sunny zoomed in on the cannon, "The entire firing radius spans throughout the Empire itself, but the after effects can cover Canterlot with nothing leftover."

Nighthawk shook his head, "Then we don't have enough time. Sunny?"

He nodded his head like he knew what he was going to say, "On it." and ran off.

"Firefly?"

He nodded, "Stay here and command?"

"I need an artillery force to try holding them off? And you're my top pick."

Firefly smiled, "I'll send them out ASAP." and he took off.

Nighthawk looked at bliss who was adjusting her wing, "Think you can get there fast enough with my crew?"

Rainbow Bliss laughed, "Pfft, can I get there fast enough? You're looking at the former Canterlot Flyers champion who pulled off the Castle course in twelve seconds flat."

"In armor?"

Bliss smiled, "I can make it ten." and she flew off towards the armory.

Nighthawk chuckled and took off his bandages, "Helm? Patch me through to the Crystal Empire."

After a simple "Aye Aye." Nighthawk threw on his hunters cowboy hat and was patched in with Cadence, "Princess Cadence?" He began, "You have an enemy force heading right for you with a doomsday cannon powered by the crystal heart."

"Yes Commander, I have received word from Commander Sunny and a couple other Commanders about the heart, and we're making battle preparations as we speak."

"Just make note that this weapon will destroy the Empire easily, and with that, this war would be over." Nighthawk replied.

Cadence slowly nodded and and grabbed her helmet with her magic, "I know, that's why i'm declaring war against these monsters."

Nighthawk grinned, "I'll be there ASAP Princess."

Cadence smiled, "I know you will Commander." and cut the line.

Nighthawk lowered his hat, "Captain you have control!" and headed towards the armory where Sunshine Breeze was there still finishing up modifications, "Are the mods ready Sunshine?"

Sunshine nodded, "I modified the armor to withstand stronger attacks and the metal wings are set for faster flight."

"Very well, get yourself prepared for attack."

Sunshine smiled, "Yes sir."

Nighthawk grinned, "Computer? Activate armor."

All of a sudden, the phoenix on his chest plate lit up and the armor began equipping itself on Nighthawk.
