Rise of Equestria: Battle for Canterlot

Each Archer fired up their horns and reached out to gather their arrows. Issac reached out with his TK and helped fill the archer next to him. The Archer, a mare with soft blue eyes, looked impressed and thankful as her barrel was restocked faster. A grenade came flying around the corner. Issac caught the small explosive and Tk'd it back at them. With several Alien grunts and a fiery boom that sent several low-level Advent flying from out of cover.

Issac cocked his head back with a smug grin that you could feel through his helmet. That had the mare rolling her eyes before she recast the magic circles over her shoulder. Demo came running to get out of the line of fire as Advent regrouped.

"Stand behind me." Sargent Stripe ordered, and Issac toed back behind the Archers. With a blue spark, a Blue wall popped up in front of the Archers It stretched all the way to the ceiling and blocked the whole hallway. Five Advent troopers walked in a line towards the blue shield. The Red commander stood in the middle looking smug. The regular soldiers dropped to one knee in a firing position. The Captain pointed yelling what was probably fire in their language.

The Sargent smirked as the mag rounds impacted on the shield harmlessly. He heard Demo whistle impressed.

"Aye, that's a fancy trick." He commented, and Issac walked up to the barrier.

"One-way barrier?" the Engineer asked, but the Sargent decided to show instead of telling.

"Archers! return fire!" He ordered and with a simultaneous Boom like thunder a wave of arrows fly down range. The Arrows passed through the shield and Struck the troopers. Most flying back to be pinned to the wall like insects in a school lab. Thanks to the better armor the Captain wore the arrow had stopped halfway through his chest. Standing with orange blood dripping from the side of his mouth he started to raise a hand to order another attack when Applejack popped him in the face with her DC.

He hit the floor dead, and the rest of the Advent forces stepped forward taking the now deads spot firing into the blue shield testing it for any weaknesses. Issac reached behind him and seemed to pull out a new gun from thin air. It was a red starfish looking gun. But it functioned like a grenade launcher as he test fired the first silver cartridge. When it passed through the barrier and landed in the row of Advent grunts, it exploded sending them flying into walls. Satisfied he wouldn't accidentally blow themselves up, he started launching left and right.

"Fire at will but choose your targets we can't afford to waste ammo." The Sargent ordered, and Stone arrows flew. The hall was so dense with Advent you could swing a dead cat and still hit something. The room shook with each explosion from Issac's mine thrower as he threw one where ever there was a large group forming. Missing a direct shot a mine latched onto the wall and deployed three laser trip wires. Unfortunately for the trooper who was head height with the directed explosive charge. The mine went off with a beep, and his head disappeared in a chunky orange mist that had Aj close her eyes and look away trying to scrub that visual from her mind.

At least her's only left a scorch mark she thought as she picked off any stragglers. Demo pulled his Auto beam pistol that fired multi-tiny plasma beams. Whatever didn't go down first shot was moped up by the Archers. Issac switched weapons to a wider version of the plasma cutter. He fired the line gun at the first trooper who stopped to touch the burn on his armor. The second shot cut him in half sending the upper half to knock over another. This was a bit too much for one of the Archers. Who finally spoke up,

"What the fuck are shooting?" he shouted in a Manehatten accent.

"Let's just say!" He fired again "This isn't" A troopers legs were cut from under him sending the grunt to the floor. "My first encounter with hostile aliens!" He finished. The Archer saw the legless trooper reach for his rifle and put him down. The battle raged on as advent filled the hall firing mindlessly at the blue shield that protected the Archers. Issac was on grenade duty tossing any back into the mass of Advent.

Applejack looked at the red bar on the DC-15m that served at its ammo meter. She didn't like the half empty that stared back at her on her last mag. Looking behind her at the cart a quarter full of wooden barrels full of stone arrows. An Archer grabbed another and continued firing. She swung the rifle onto her back. "Sargent!"

"Yes, Ma'am?" Sargent Stripe responded but unable to look her way.

"Anyway were getting resupplied?"

"We sent two clones twenty minutes ago for supplies nothing yet." He reported, and Aj looked back at the cart.

"I'll go I know a shortcut. what all do we need." She asked when an Archer looked her way with a grin.

"Hayburger with fries. If you're going Ma'am" He said in a manehatten accent.

"I'll take an Oatshake Ma'am!" The mare Archer next to Issac added to the joke,

"OH, that sounds good Ma'am can I change my order?"

"Arrow!, Swan! Focus!" The Sargent snapped at the two who went back to firing. Aj chuckled and shook her head.

"I'll be back lickety-split I'll bring whatever I can find." She turned to the double doors and hit the open button before hopping in and closing them behind her. She took off in a full gallop down the hall. The evening sky poured in from a hole in the ceiling, and Aj stopped to look. Through the blue shield covering Canterlot, she could see the sky. The sun hadn't moved in a while, and a bowling ball of worry hit her system. She saw black aircrafts flying through the shield they looked similar to the LA-AT the clones used, but the Advent symbols on the front told her they weren't friendly.

Coming in from the left was Five Smoke trails that meant the Wonderbolts. But the one Rainbow trail that flew to the side made Aj perk up. Each trail broke off flying into a different aircraft. A second later and the transports exploded, and the smoke and rainbow trails regrouped. AJ let out a holler "Get em Dash!" Another of the Aircrafts came up behind the group and fired on them. They split up, but the Advent carrier stayed on the tail of one who veered right. After a couple shots the smoke trail ended and the pony fell out of the sky. Aj felt her gut twist, but she tried to be grateful it wasn't Dash. "This time" her mind twisted that knife pretty hard. The ground shook under her feet, and she looked back up as an AT-TE republic walker tank stomped into view and blew the Advent carrier out of the sky with a loud THUMP!

"Get um boys!" Aj Cheered then turned to gallop back towards her job. Filled with determination to make it through whatever happens
