Shadows of Equestria

The wave of soldiers approached Burning Brawl as he rose onto his hind legs and prepared to brawl. The first group stepped forward as the orange mare and the citizens hid behind crates and barrels

First... distract multiple enemies

In a split second Burning picked up a barrel of apples and threw them towards the soldiers, breaking their formations and making most of them slip over the loose apples

Second... break wills

Burning identified the Captain of the squad and eagerly landed a punch into his stomach sending him stumbling back making the Stalliongrad soldiers look on in horror

Third... break armour

Burning brought his hoof back around and elbowed the connecting joint on the armour causing it to shatter sending metal shrapnel off in multiple directions and mostly hitting other soldiers

Then... break ribcage

Burning followed this by swinging his left back leg forward straight into the commanders stomach sending him stumbling back further accompanied by a satisfying cracking sound

Finally... share the apples

Burning picked up the barrel containing a few apples and smashed it onto the commanders head knocking him out causing the troops to drag his limp body back into the forest and that was the first group done

“Who’s next!” Happily exclaimed Burning taking a bite from the apple

Double cast a spell to push the citizens back towards cover and created a large space in which a group of Stalliongrad soldiers stepped into.  Double analysed the scene in a split second and calculate multiple possibilities and attacks with their results and failures until he finally settled upon one route of action. Grinning wildly he concentrated all of his magic onto the small chunk of earth beneath the soldiers. At first it seemed like Double was standing there grinning with a glowing horn doing nothing but eventually the ground began to crack and the land began to split.

“No doubt that purple mare is watching closely” Thought Double “The jigs really up now” the large chunk of earth levitated from the ground with the soldiers clinging onto the edges for dear life

“Next stop Stalliongrad” Grinned Double quickly shifting his head and sending the chunk of land flying off into the everfree forest as the Pegasi aboard the rock tried to flap their wings to slow the speed, it seemed like an impossible task and by the time they figured this out they were already dug halfway into the ground

Double smiled cockily

“Next please” he uttered his voice lathered with smug

Dark pushed Dash aside and slid down the roofing tiles lazily

“Hello there chaps!” He exclaimed in a peculiar accent, he wandered up to one and grabbed him by the front hooves and motioned a slight dance to which he let go and the pony dropped to the floor, a knife sticking out from his chest

“I’m here to ask you to retreat!” He resumed wandering through the confused crowd of soldiers and straight up to the captain “If that’s alright with everypony, it’s just I’m in no mood for fighting today!”

“We’ve been given a job to do and we’ll do it” Replied the Stalliongrad Captain

“Respectable, VERY respectable!” Yelled Dark happily his expression of sheer glee and then suddenly his tone darkened as he turned to the Captain frowning “But that’s the wrong answer. Sorry, you’re not a winner” and within that second an arrow shot from the concealed crossbow beneath Dark’s cloak and straight between the Captain’s eyes. The soldiers stood, confused for a moment and stared at Dark as he slowly reloaded his crossbow, he raised an eyebrow

“Well go on then” Began Dark

“Huh?” was the general reaction from the crowd

“RUN!” He screeched as he fired a bolt straight into a soldier dispersing the crowd back into the forest.

The three regrouped in front of the everfree where the remainder of the charge was

“About 50 left” Muttered Double

“Oi! This is the turnout for the auditions?” Yelled Dark

“What?” Sighed Burning

“Ciders gone straight to his head” Replied Double his expression unchanging as he stared the 50 Stalliongrad troops down. Burning hit Dark in the stomach sending him toppling backwards

“You’re sitting this one out” He stated in an emotionless voice

“So 25 each?” Asked Double keenly, Burning nodded as they calmly walked towards the 50 armoured, highly trained Stalliongrad soldiers before them. Burning picked up a spear and snapped the point off deciding to use brute force rather than stabbing for his method, he swung it around a few times while Double charged his magic again

“On the count of three” Whispered Double

“Alright” Replied Burning “I’m a patient pony”

“One...” Said Double a bit louder as Dark looked up at his friends about to face 50 armoured soldiers

“Two” Resumed Double louder still as the entire of Ponyville looked on at this bizarre scene of two ponies about to face fifty.

“THREE” Yelled Double throwing a large chunk of rock into the air with about 20 soldiers on it. Burning sprung forward smashing the pole he held from the spear around a soldiers face shattering it instantly, splinters flew everywhere and lodged into the un-armoured sections of the soldiers.

The ensuing battle was a long one drawn out simply by Burning meeting a worthy opponent, the Stalliongrad General for the charge and Double had met an equally skilled opponent. He it not been for Dark Feather shooting multiple crossbow bolts at once the two Division members would have been killed there and then.

There was silence afterwards, a horrific, eerie silence which haunted the entire battlefield.

The three suddenly turned around quite happily and wandered back into the town without another word the majority of the town remained frozen in fear and amazement from what had just happened. Behind them were the unconscious bodies of 50 Stalliongrad soldiers about 5 of which were elite ranks, a captain and the general all defeated by 3 ponies. The cyan mare was staring from the rooftops in utter shock at the drunken Pegasi she had bumped into and how he had just broken apart an entire Stalliongrad squadron by using deception. The purple mare stared from the streets at the clumsy pony who she had bumped in to and was amazed when she remembered the spells he performed against the Stalliongrad squad he was faced with and the orange mare stared in complete awe of the brute force displayed by the one asking for cider and she was thankful that she hadn’t sold him any as well. The three silently passed through the crowd their torn cloaks flapping in the wind as they progressed towards Sugarcube Corner presumably looking for something to eat. When the door of Sugarcube Corner closed the entire town began to talk and murmur about the fight and the three mares who had met the three Division members followed them to Sugarcube Corner determined to discover more about these mysterious ponies that had showed up in their town and beaten back an entire organised charge without even breaking a sweat.
