During The Cleansing

Obsidian POV

I look out into sea from my tower wondering what lies beyond the blue waves and the ever closing equestrians with there two princess's before sighing and looking back at the forest doing nothing for another two hours.

I bring up my rifles scope and search for anything out of the ordinary and noticing nothing has changed before seeing a small but noticeable to the trained eye a glint of gold hidden around 100 meters in the forest.

My eyes quickly dart around the area where i spotted the glint and noticed more nearby surrounding my home town, I summon a alarm horn and blow it making a loud boom for both the guards and invaders to hear in a mile radius.

I jump out of the tower just as a spell is thrown at it making it explode sending splinters everywhere,I cover my unprotected face with my arm and quickly cast a small shield bubble spell getting most of the splinters but not getting the first five bouncing off my Armored arm.

I bring my hand down and grab my shatter longsword and a large metal shield just as i hear a yell coming from behind me, I turn around and bring up my shield just as a sword slams into it, I growl before bashing the pony away and stabbing it in the chest,I pull out my sword and send magic into it causing it to shatter into tiny pieces and float around me.

I hear more shouts and send a few pieces there way and then send the rest into the surrounding forest hearing the sound of flesh being pierced and ripped before recalling them back leaving only the bodies of the company that where just entering the clearing.

I look back at my town and see that the east deference has been lost and half of the towns buildings burning while every remaining soldier not defending the rest of the walls protecting the civilians trying to reach the docks,I jump over the wall startling the guards on it before they quickly turn back to the forest weapons ready.

I run into town stopping in the main road that splits the town in two and race down to the docks killing all ponies that are in my line of sight, I summon my tendrils as they burst out of my back and spear all the ponies that are trying to break through the wall of shields and spears.

The soldiers that where holding the wall quickly realize that the weight that they where stopping has ceased and made them peak out seeing me with the pony's body's hanging of my tendrils four feet off the air before being thrown of landing into alleyways of the side of the street.

"Get the civilians out of here and on those boats dammit" I shout to them but noticed them staring up behind me I turn a see a sight that will haunt me forever, princess celestia and Luna in the air combining there magic for a spell that I could tell would destroy the town instantly.

I try to bring up s spell that would hold make it go off course but they fired it, instinctively I morph my tendrils into wings and fly up just below the clouds and watch paralyzed with fear and the town and boats harbored there with the civilians vaporized less that 10 seconds.

I stare at what my home used to be before looking at the princess's and ready my sword and magic before a familiar horn sound off in the distance,I look out to sea and see my ship the serpent a mile away, i spare a glance at the Ashe's before speeding off towards the ship.

I land on the deck and im immediately swarmed and asked questions like what happened and is everyone okay, I sadly put up my hand making everyone go quiet "Im sorry everyone but.....t-there gone" Im meet with silence before everyone silently starts to sob.

I look down and clench my fist before charging it with magic and firing it at the equestrians on the remains and cheering,quickly making the scatter as i throw spell after spell before dropping back onto deck everyone had finished sobbing as I was half way throwing my spells,they stared angrily at the shore "everyone get to your stations, civilians go to the sleeping quarters or cargo hold if its full now move move move" I say to everyone.

I walk up the stairs and enter the command bridge and sit in my chair while everyone goes around getting everything up and running "sir enemy ships have been spotted approaching from the west right in our path" one of my crew says,I get up off my chair and summon a telescope.

"One galleon,two frigates and three brigs with a dozen gunboats" I pass my telescope to my second in command and grab a microphone "Battle stations I repeat battle stations" I let go of the microphone "I want every battery aimed at those frigates and galleon".

I walk over to a lever and pull it down causing nothing to happen but i smile as i notice the gold on the ships decks go down low, everyone just looks at me questionably "that my friends was and E whistle something i had invented that only equines can hear" they still looked at me, I just roll my eyes "its like a dog whistle but for equestrians instead of dogs" they get a look of understanding and get back to work,

I Hear the thunderous boom from the guns and watch with a smile on my face as the frigates are immediately turned into crumbling wreaks on fire while the galleon just got hit on its deck, it tries to turn around but another volley of rounds hits it in the middle, cutting it in half and destroying 7 out of the twelve gunboats with its weight.

I watch as the brigs try to turn back but get peppered with machine gun fire making them slowly turn sideways crashing into each other and crushing the remaining gunboats underneath there massive wooden bodies, "good job boys now lets get out of here" I smile at the burning remains of the equestrians ship glad at getting some revenge.

I sit back in my chair and became to drift off from the amount of spells and energy i used and fall asleep not knowing that one gunboat survived and stayed where it was when we where out of site and rushes back to shore to tell the princess's that one ship survived.
