I ran out of the treeline, following close behind Natasha. The strange humanoids stopped their panicking to look at us as we charged. The bugs also stopped their assault and ran at us instead. I raised my rifle and filled a big with lead (or what ever the hell their bullets are made of).

The bug didn't want to go down without a fight but I had to keep putting holes in it. Before my very eyes, the bugs legs and tendrils were flying in several different directions. I grinned as I blasted off the lower jaw. Green blood began to ooze out of the life less body. I payed no mind to it, because there were more contacts.

The other troopers seemed to have been engaging the bugs, even to the point of circling them. How they ended up that way I don't know, but it worked. I joined in the crowd of troopers and we gunned down the remaining arachnid warriors. Tendrils, or legs flew into the air.

I could say I was proud of myself for a successful battle. Even if it was a short one. The victory was short lived as a bug came out of no where. It had wings on its back and was barely armored. it also had a stinger. It swooped down from the sky and lifted a man in the air. He was flown several yards away, and the moment the bug set him down started to impale him with its long stinger.

BAM

The sound of a sniper type Marita rifle blared through the sky. The bug was hit in the nerve stem.
"eyes to the sky's, cause we got hoppers!". Natasha yelled. We all looked upward and there were at least three more. One of them came down to grab me, but easily dodged it. I rotated my body so I could face the bug that was wide open for an attack. I pulled the second trigger on my rifle and killed the bug. It stuttered in the air before crashing in front of the human wannabes. I took aim at the sky again.

Another hopper went down with barely a fight. As it fell, several of us had to jump out of the way of the impact. Looking at the dead scum now, it made a small crater in the ground. A chuckled at the hoppers expense. There was still one more bug to deal with. As it circled in the sky, it had begun to pick up pace. It became incredibly hard to hit it. Natasha was able to blow it out of the sky after shooting randomly. If this were a video game I would just call hacks.

The bug crashed in front of me and Natasha. She seemed angered. She approached the bug and looked it in its dying eyes. "twenty two.". She simply said. Then she squeezed her trigger. The bugs blood splattered next to her, but miraculously didn't get on her we all.

She sighed in relief. She looked at the closest soldiers. She pointed towards two men. One was tall and a little skinny. He had blue eyes, and parts of his blond hair was visible. Then she pointed towards a woman. She was similar to Natasha. She had the same eye color, but her hair was also blond like the other man.
"you two check on Jeffery. He only got hit once by that stinger and we have plenty of medical supplies.". Natasha said while pointing towards the area where the first hopper died. The two soldiers saluted and jogged over to see if the man was alive.

Looking at the humanoids, they looked reassured. Maybe they are grateful we came here to help them? I looked over to Natasha.
"what do we do about them?". I asked pointing at the group. Natasha eyeballed them for a moment. Her eyes went wide. I followed her sight and noticed that one of them seemed to have been injured. They had blood, alot of blood running down their leg. It was the pink one with the crazy hair do.
"Damien, I want you to follow me to make contact.". Natasha said. I nodded my head. I reloaded my gun and put it around my shoulders.
"we will be right back. Set up a communication tent and try to reach command.". Natasha said.
"sir yes sir!". All the remaining troopers said. We then began to approach the weird creatures.

I held onto pinkie pie as she lost consciousness. No pony seemed to care though because two of the black armored figures were approaching us. One of them was bulky and had crimson eyes. While the other was much skinnier. Though that didn't mean that they didn't know how to fight. They handled those monsters quickly. Even princess twilights magic couldn't make a dent in them. I looked over to rainbow dash, who had a look of Awe on her face. Twilight seemed to have the same look. The two armored figures were finally a few feet away from us. I wanted to gulp. Though I held it in.

"excuse us, but can you understand us.". The female said. She said it slowly like equin wasn't one of the first things to learn in life.
"yes we can.". Twilight said. She started to shake at the slight hostility in the woman's voice.
"good. I am lieutenant Natasha of the timber wolf platoon.". Natasha had introduced herself. She reached out a hand to Twilight.
"Twilight sparkle. Nice to meet you Mrs Natasha.". She said.

I looked down a pinkie who was still in my arms unconscious. I felt horrible for the girl. I was on one knee to help support her, but then a shadow loomed over me. "she's in pretty bad shape. We have a medic with the rest of the group that might be able to help her.". The male said. His voice was very... Comforting. It made me feel safe in a way. That's when every pony gasped, and realized that they completely forgot about pinkie pie. "don't worry, the boys most likely built a medical tent.". Natasha said. The male lifted pinkie into his arms bridel style.

"thank you for helping us.". Fluttershy said. Fluttershy was smiling, but not completely. It was all directed at him. She seemed less intimated by the male than Natasha. I don't know why she suddenly decided to speak to this figure in particular.

"alright let's take care of your friend.". The male said. I just might have to get his name. With that we were off to the rest of 'the timber wolfs'.
