A different war to fight

Wolf flung the Griffon prisoners into their cell and removed the bags from their heads before walking towards the cell door.

"If one of you fucks gets any bright ideas about escaping I'll slaughter the three of you and make you an example for the next patrol that come this way" he growled before slamming the door shut

Wolf started to walk down to the the decrepit corridors towards the command room, thinking he would finally earned a break, not realising how wrong he was.

When he entered the command room he saw a horrified Twilight and three worried princesses

As he walked toward the table princess Cadence said "ah theres my opposite"

Wolf tilted his head and said "what"

Celestia then said "the few of the guard that know of you call you death but right now we have bigger problems"

"Like what" wolf replied walking closer to the table before reading the notes that were sprawled about, reading about "Tirek" and his magic stealing ability.

He looked up at the princesses and asked "how long"

Luna replied "not long enough"

"I'll track him down and deal with it" said Wolf

"No, we need you here, with the elements, they're the only thing that can stop him" said Celestia, who was visibly shaking

"Alright then whats the plan" asked Wolf, who, was visibly concerned

"We're going to distract him for as long as we can, you, Twilight and the rest of the elements are going to evacuate the ponies to the cave underneath the castle" said Luna

Wolf shook his head before asking "you sure you dont want me there to help"

"No, we dont know how much magic flows through you, for all we know you could be able to control the entire planet with the click of your hooves" replied Caydance

Wolf's mind started worrying about the princesses plan be he nodded and said "Alright, I'll arm up and we'll start with the evacuation" before going to leave the room

"Wolf, if you can, try to stay non-lethal" pleaded Luna

Wolf simply nodded before running out of the room. Once in the Armoury Wolf grabbed a M4A1 assault rifles with an underbarrel grenade launcher before noticing Twilight out of the corner of his eye.

"That weapon looks very lethal" she said in a joking like way

But as Wolf reached into the ammunition storage his and swept straight passed the explosives and onto some tear gas grenades. Then he went higher, ignoring the 5.56 and grabbed a few magazines of rubber bullets. He then loaded the spare ammunition into his pack or into one lf his hip pouches. The only live ammunition he actually grabbed was a couple boxes of 9mm for his M9.

Wolf then turned back around with one of the tear gas grenades in his hands and said "this stuff will make the fucker choke on his own breath, but it won't kill him, now come on, we have an evacuation to do.

Within the hour half of the castle had been evacuated, the elements had been prepared and the princesses had prepared their trap. Wolf sat outside of the castle and listened to the echoes of Tireks approach before the castle was completely empty. After another ten minutes Wolf headed down to the cave to wait for the princesses signal.

Wolf looked around the dark and damp cave and all he saw were fearful ponies, his mind raced in ways that he could help them, maybe to give them peace of mind, but to no avail, but on his failure to find a way to calm the ponies he realised that it may be better to convince them to take up arms and fight against those who took their homes and familys, and to fight those who took their joy.

Wolf clambered to his feet, leaving his rifle where it lied and slowly walked to the centre of the stalacitite filled cave, making sure to see each and every face around him.

Once there he began to adress the ponies in a deeper, yet alicorn royal voice, as luna enjoyed to use, "Ponies of Equestria, hear me, those of you who know who i am already know the deeds i have done for you, and all other ponies, but to those who dont, then allow me to introduce myself"

"I am Wolf of Earth, but now i might have to change that, over a year ago now i came here by accident with my brother in arms Raptor, who died to save all of us at Canterlot, but before that we have protected you all from both the Griffons and the Changelings."

"Even after that I, alongside Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack went off on an expedition to rescue Princess Cadence and Captain Shining Armour, but in doing so we discovered yet another foe, King Sombra and his army of mind controlled thralls."

"Now besides Tirek, we have three enemies, who have taken action against us, yet we sit idle as they burn our homes and slaughter our people, now i want to know why"

"Why are we running if we hold our ground against a single opponent, then we could succeed against them, and doing so we could start taking our homes back, and avenging those we have lost."

"But right now we need to deal with Tirek, as we cant take back our homes or avenge our loved ones without the princesses help, as they and myself are willing to lay down our livesto give you all the slightest chance at survival."

"So now i ask, will you stand with me and take back our homes, and av enge those who have fallen, or will you keep running until theres nowhere left to go, because i can tell you all now, there is nowhere left to run, we're already at the end of tue line. So theres a time for peace and theres a time for action, and i can tell you now, as our enemies pound on our door that this is a time for action, so are you with me, or will we all die in this cave together"

Wolf's words shook the very cave itself as one by one the ponies climbed to their hooves, ready to take up arms.

Wof continued

"Hell yea, thats the spirit, but for now stay here and protect one anothe, i will handle Tirek"

Upon hearing this most ponies grabed a sharp rock or a thick branch and started to either hide in ambush positions or in defensive locations, both ready for a fight, Wolf watched it all unfold before leaving the cave to fight Tirek.

Before entering the ruined castle, noticing that the large wooded door was smashed to splinters, he pulled out his trusty M9 Beretta before running towards Deaths cold embrace unsure of whom it was after, but if it called his name he would not go without a fight.
