Orbital Drop Shock Ponies

I woke up on a bed in what looked like a wooden shack.

Alone.

I walked out of the shack and looked around. I was out of the city.

"You're awake," I turned to my right to see Chains sitting in a rocking chair. "It's about time."

I looked for the city of Phillydelphia. "Where are we?"

"About 10 miles from Phillydelphia."

"Where's Fire Light?"

"On the roof."

I looked up to see the beautiful pony laying on the roof, with her sniper rifle perched on the edge.

"we are to move to Manhattan tomorrow," Chains said, as he stood up to walk into the shack. "reports of zebra ships moving in."

The sound of a bullet shook the whole shack.

"We got hostiles," Fire Light sounded worried.

"What's coming?" Chains looked up and raised his voice.

"It looks like just ground forces," Fire Light was about to hit another when the shack caught fire. "Enchanted weapons! Get out of the shack! Let's head for Manehattan!"

Chains led me out of the shack. He got to the doorway and grabbed an assault rifle stuck in the wall and threw it to me.

"Cover our escape!" he yelled. "If you see any Enemy air support, tell me!"

I started shooting as I walked backwards.

I took out 5 zebras before a giant hole opened. A zebra carrier flew through it and started to drop things.

More than just Zebras.

I turned to run. "enemy command ship, dropping everything they got!"

Chains and Fire Light were running with me. Ahead of me.

Chains turned his head as he ran. "Spark, turn around!"

I turned to see an armed car driving at me.

I stopped running.

He got close.

As soon as he was right next to me I ripped him out of the car, making it stop.

Fire Light no-scoped the gunner and hopped in the passenger seat.

"Hurry up," Chains was getting onto the mounted turret.

I galloped to the unparked rolling car and jumped into the driver seat.

I instantly knew where everything was. I pulled the stick into the 2nd gear and pushed the petal down.

Chains was tearing up the enemy vehicles. "Come on, Spark! Punch it!"

I hit the next gear. I noticed a mirror popping out.

That was a big ship.

I heard the machine gun on the back stop and Chains climbed up. He grabbed a box in between me a Fire Light.

"Just need a few more fun bullets," Chains yelled over the engine purring.

I heard a quiet high pitched beep. It stopped. Then the whole car stopped as the cannon shot a giant red laser. I watched through the mirror.

The zebra carrier caught fire and and started to plunge into the dessert.

It started a sandstorm.

"Come on, Spark! Get us out of here, now!" Chains was watching the enemy infantry running hopelessly from the sandstorm.

"the engine's not starting!" I wasn't sure what to do.

For the first time in the history of my life, I didn't know what to do.

I felt retarded when I saw Fire Light hit the car with her hoof and start it up.

I probably broke the pedal smashing it into the ground like that.

We were a few inches from the sandstorm at 50kph. It wouldn't get faster.

Then it happened.

The car slowed to a stop.

Out of gas.

*******

The sandstorm had consumed us. We had walked through the desert towards Manehattan.

We got there about 7:30pm. We opened the city gates and tons of pony folk stampeded out.

When the smoke cleared, there stood Recon in all his armor.

Covered in zebra blood. Maybe a little of his own.

*******

"Well find it!" Chains exclaimed, as we looked through a whole office for one thing.

A purple flash drive.

You might wonder why, so I'll tell you. It held pass codes to Everypony's computer.

Everypony's.

"I found it!" Fire Light said. She seemed so proud of herself.

"Give it here," Chains stuck out his hand.

She gave it to him, and he hooked it to a necklace.

"Let's go," he said, walking out.

As we exited the building, we saw multiple ponies running around.

We looked up and saw a zebra carrier right above the city.

Doing nothing.

Not dropping any zebras, or bombs, not even shooting. Just floating.

*******

"Gun it, Spark!" we drove out of Manehattan in a transport military vehicle.

We had came across a few red dots on our maps, and traced them to under the city.

When we got down there, we found about 4 zebras (Who were all shot). They had activated a balefire bomb.

We ran through the streets yelling it while looking for a fast way out.

We came across this car. I hotwired it, and we hit the road.

Screaming our warning as we went.

"Go go go!" Recon already hated cities. While tracing the dots, he talked about friendly zebras he's met there.

But now that doesn't matter, they would all be dead at any moment.

Fire Light looked back. "I don't think we'll make it!"

"We'll make it!" Chains was looking through the glove department for anything helpful.

I took a look in the box. "What is that?"

Chains pulled out a rectangular item with a map strapped to it.

"It's a teleporter," Recon leaned over.

"Hook it up," Chains looked at the map. "Take us to a stable."

******

"Spark, How's it coming?" Chains tried to watch me work but couldn't figure it out.

"Almost Through," I was hacking into the stable. "There!"

The stable door slowly opened.

We walked in, unaware of more than ponies being in there.

We came to a place looking like town square (if this was a town).

Ponies and zebras alike going about their daily lives.

All of them went silent. Most of them stopped to look at us.

"Look alive," Chains whispered.

Almost simultaneously we took off our helmets. Except Chains.

Recon had his hand on his holstered magnum. "I don't like this," he whinnied.

I heard hoof steps.

Everypony's (and zebras) eyes looked terrified. They were all out of there in a matter of seconds.

"Hey!"
