Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Just before our heroes had raided the Crystal Empire, Cadence had ordered the use of the type FR-3674/001 Rainbow Gas in Ponyville since their front was weakening. Many of the ponies there died, especially Cadence's troops. This allowed Celestia's and Luna's troops to go through the war zone, only in air tight vehicles due to the Rainbow Gas. As the war goes on, the situation at the Crystal Empire worsens. News of Shining Armor's army squadron is that they have started to give up, bases surrendering.

Twilight shot up a communications tower, cutting off any wish for help. Steel Moon secured the perimeter, shooting at anything coming close. Twilight checked her mech's status, fixing some problems. Suddenly, her monitor had an arrow pointing up. She took control of her mech, looking up. The mech she fought earlier landed in front of her, pulling out a beam blade. She stepped back, throwing away her gun. She pulled out her beam blade and went into a jumping stance. The mech charged at her, their beam blades colliding. They stared at each other, getting really close. The mech kicked Twilight's leg, pushing her forward. The other mech stepped to the side, Twilight's mech falling onto the ground. She turned around to look at the enemy mech. She stood back up, turning her blade back on. The enemy shot it's machine guns at her. She stumbled backwards, jumping into the air. The mech jumped too. Going seriously close to her mech. The mech punched her back to the ground. Steel looked back, seeing them fight. He turned and aimed at the enemy mech. He shot at it, missing by inches. The mech looked at him, flying at him. He stepped back, dropping the gun. He unsheathed his heat sword, preparing to stab it. Twilight fell onto the ground, looking as the mech jumped over her. Steel held his position. The enemy mech held his beam sword with both of it's hands. He pushed up his sword, aiming for the cockpit. The mech moved, the sword stabbing into it's shoulder. The enemy stabbed Steel's body, hitting the part beside the mech's head. Steel pulled out the sword out of the mech's shoulder, swinging at it's head.

"YOUR NOT GETTING AWAY!" Twilight yelled, swinging her beam at the enemy. It took out another beam, blocking her attack. The mech kicked back Twilight again, Steel's swing missing. The mech turned at Steel, putting both blades toward his chest. Steel tried to jump backwards, still getting caught. Both of the blades hit the torso, tearing at the armor. Steel grabbed the right arm of the mech, trying to pull it off. He crushed the elbow joint as the beams tore into the body. He tore off the arm, tossing it away and running to the left.

"Twilight, I need your help!" He said, Twilight outside of her vehicle.

"I'm sorry! The circuits are fried and I can't move the legs!" She said, trying to fix it.

"Can't you use some kind of magic to move the legs?"

"I know I may have lifted an Ursa Minor out of Ponyville, but controlling the mech, stressing about dying, and holding the mech up with magic? No way." She replied, focusing on the control panel.

"Can you use the arms still?"

"Yeah."

"Grab the gun on the ground there! Hurry!" Twilight looked at the gun near the ground. She crawled into her mech. She reached for the gun, grabbing it and looking at the enemy. The mech turned around, seeing Twilight aim at it. It turned back at Steel, throwing it's sword at him. He tried to jump out of the way, the mech struggling to move.

"Dammit, MOVE!" He yelled, pushing the controls around. The mech stiffened, the sword hitting right above the cockpit.

"TWILIGHT!" Steel yelled. Twilight was still trying to repair the circuit, leaving the gun to auto aim. She heard the noise that it had locked onto something and shot. She hit Steel's head, his mech falling onto a wall.

"What are you doing?!" He yelled.

"I had it on auto aim as I was fixing th- Its done!" She replied. Her mech stood up, dropping the gun. The mech turned at Steel, shooting up the cockpit with it's body gun. She looked at the mech in rage. She let out a war cry, charging at the mech. It swung at her, missing. She punched it in the face. Twilight then pinned it to the ground, punching the head. She had destroyed the main camera. She crushed the other arm, making the mech immobile. She stood back up. Twilight headed towards Steel's mech.

"Steel? Steel?" The comms had cut out. She held her mechs hand up to her and Steel's cockpit. She opened the cockpit manually.

"Steel!" She yelled, looking at him. His eyes were closed, blood all over the seat. She carried him out of the cockpit, putting him in her's.

"I hope that the rest of the group are doing better." She mumbled.


Rainbow, Midnight, Sunblane, and Cloud Sweeper ran through the halls of the castle, clearing every room as they went on. The ran up the staircase leading to Princess Cadence's room. They went up only to find the hallway that went to Cadence's room was covered in guards.

"Alright here's the deal." Rainbow said, whispering."We need to take out these guards silently. Get you silencers on" All of them screwed on their silencers. Rainbow pulled out her pistol, shooting them in the head. The proceeded, still checking the rooms. Cloud opened one of the doors, shots suddenly coming out.

"Holy shit!" He grunted, shutting the door immediately.

"Stay down." Rainbow said, crouching down and looking at Cloud.

"Anything serious?" She whispered.

"Doesn't look like it. A small gash on the arm though.." He said, lifting his hoof off his fore leg.

"Stay back, we'll take care of this." Cloud limped over to a corner, pulling out his medical supplies. Rainbow made a signal with her hoof, Midnight planting C4 on the door. They all stepped back, the explosive going off.

"Flash, now!" A flash grenade flew into the room, voices yelling. The three ran into the room, shooting every pony they saw, some soldiers shot randomly, others didn't look at the flash. They fought, shots ricocheting everywhere. A few bullets hit Midnight. She staggered, finding her balance. They killed the rest, the room growing quiet. Midnight fell onto the floor, coughing up blood.

"Oh my Celestia!" Cloud yelled, crouching down to help her.

"Alright, that's the last room." Rainbow said, staring at the door.

"Will she make it?!" Sunblane whispered, sitting down beside Cloud.

"I think so, though her recovery will be slow..."

"Sunblane, escort Cloud and Midnight out of here."

"What about you?"

"I'll be fine on my own."

"N-no....." Midnight said, her voice rough.

"I want to.." She got up, standing beside Rainbow. "I want to see the end.. of this." She said, leaning on Rainbow for support.

"But you haven't gotten the right medical treatment! You need to come outsi-"

"I'm not going nowhere, until I see that son of a bitch behind that door, DEAD."

"Alright. At least let me give you bandages." Cloud said. Midnight turned towards him, limping to him. Rainbow took out her rifle, ripping the scope off.

"Why'd you do that?" Sunblane asked.

"When I kill her, I want to see her head go all over the wall." She replied. She glared at the door with anger.

"All done!" Cloud said, Midnight standing up.

"Then lets get a move on." They all walked towards the door, seeking revenge for their lost comrades. Sunblane put his hooves on the door. Finally, an end to all wars....
POW

A loud shot rang out. Sunblane felt his body start to move backwards. He could feel a large amount of force on him. He fell to the ground, hitting hard. Midnight shot the two soldiers in the room, pointing her gun at the chair ahead, a bullet hole in it.

"SHOW YOURSELF!" She yelled, huffing in rage.

"My my, what a lovely get-together we have here!" A voice said. The chair turned, revealing someone that Twilight and Rainbow thought they'd never see again.

"Pinkie?"
