Chapter 7: Recovering in the hospital... NOT!

Pov: Celestia
Current location: Canterlot Castle

Celestia was asleep in her room she was having a dream of Mark. it was a simple dream of her and Mark having Coffee in a nearby cafe they were talking about their life...

BANG!

Celestia woke up in fright. She remembered the sound of the weapon that caused so much pain to her ponies. she immediately gallops off to her throne room thinking Luna was in there but once she arrives she did not see her sister at the throne Celestia thought of the worst situation ever.

"Oh no... what if Luna has gotten Fillienapped?"

She gallops off towards the garden hopefully finding her there. she saw the squad of night guards passed out but healed up. the way the bandages were position looked familiar. but she waved it off and continued to gallop towards the garden. when she arrived she saw dead Griffins and the body of her unconscious sister. she was still thinking of the worse scenario.

Oh no... what if Luna got injured?"

She continued towards Luna not seeing "Hendricks" Laying there bleeding out. Luna was now stirring from being knocked out twice. she finally woke up and said something to her sister.

"I'm fine sister my head hurts but Hendricks..." before she passes out again.

"Wait... Hendricks?"

She looked over Luna's body and saw the passed out form of "Hendricks" she also saw blood pooling under his body. Celestia Panicked and teleported his body to a nearby hospital.

"I NEED A DOCTOR NOW!"

Doctors and nurses came out rushing to grab Hendricks and start an emergency operation. the doctors told Celestia that he has a low chance of survival. She was worried and told the doctors. "Do the best you can." He nods and went to operate on Mark.

Celestia teleported back to Luna and teleported her to her room. Luna was still knocked out but began to stir after an hour. She finally woke up.

Pov: Luna.

My head hurts a lot I can't remember anything at the moment but I saw my sister in concern about my health.

"What happened Tia?"

"You were about to be fillynapped," Celestia answered.

"I was? I thought I was in the gardens strolling..."

I went as far as I could remember. But when I did. I remembered "Hendricks" Bleeding out. After remembering that. it just came like a freight train.

"WHERE IS HENDRICKS!?!"

"He is in an emergency operating room right now..." Celestia said with a bit of worry.

"This is completely my fault..." I say in a downcasted tone.

"sister you didn't know that griffins are here to take you," My sister says reassuringly

"BUT HE GOT SHOT BY FOUR OF THOSE WEAPONS! and it's my fault if he dies..."

"Sister! He is in our guard now. He is willing to put his life in front of ours!" She retorts.

"But sister we have been talking like friends... he also saved me."

"I don't know sister but I'm not sure if he would survive... he got pretty banged up."

Luna felt guilty for taking what she considered a friends life. she was pretty depressed that her only friend was going to die or that's what she thought.

Meanwhile in the Griffin Empire.

Black Beak was doing Quality checks with his tanks. He ordered around two thousand tanks to be made. while only one-hundred were made in two days he would deploy them with a crew. "FINALLY I CAN SEND THEM OUT TO FINALLY GET THE EQUESTRIANS!" Black Beak says excitingly.

One week time skip.

After Black Beak has single-handedly pick Crews for all one hundred tanks he will send them off towards the front lines. He also has another two hundred tanks to be manned.

Two-day time skip

All the tanks are near the front lines. the equestrians have no clue on what is happening.

Pov: Griffin Tank Commander.

"Continue FORWARD Driver!"

"Affirmative!" He yells back.

"Those Equestrians will pay!"

"LOADER LOAD H.E!"

"ON IT!" the loader says while picking a shell up and loading it into the breach of the gun.

"HULL GUNNER TAKE AIM!"

"YES SIR!"

Pov: 3rd person.

While the griffin tanks are moving across the trenches into no man's land. a spotter on the Equestrian side spotted movement and decided to tell the lieutenant. "Sir we have movement in No Man's Land." The scout informed. "How is there movement in there no ones in there." The lieutenant exclaimed. The tanks got closer and the spotter was now pale. "SIR WE HAVE TO FALL BACK NOW!" He yells. "Why's T..T...That..." The lieutenant was now pale and saw the incoming war machine.

BOOOOOM!

A round from a 75mm cannon flew from its gun landed near the spotter and blew him to shreds.

ARRRRRG!

The limbs of the spotter were no more. his legs were next to him detached. you can also see the broken bone on the stump of where his legs used to be. "WE NEED TO FALL BACK!!!" Yelled the pony lieutenant.

there was continues machine gun fire and cannon fire ponies losing their lives and being torn apart from the high explosive rounds. The lieutenant was now in a final stand instead of fighting he wrote a letter to the guards in canterlot warning them of the situation.

VERY URGANT

The front line of defence has fallen. right now a lot of our guards are now dying to this new griffin machine. The main concept of the thing is a metal box with a huge griffin rifle. I am now trapped in the trenches holding them off as long as I could and won't make it out.

Lieutenant Nightshade.

After writing that he sent it off towards canterlot using his magic. now he is fully by himself trying to let other ponies escape and not let them meet their doom. Lieutenant Nightshade was now the last to run but was shot multiple times in the back from MG fire this is now the end of him as he lays there with a blank stare DEAD.

POV: Mark

Weeks have been passed Luna and Celestia has been visiting "Hendricks" in the hospital he was still in a coma. Luna still had a sense of guilt that this happened to him and not her. Celestia has gotten the news of the front falling she was angered and saddened that a good trusty Lieutenant has fallen protecting his comrades.

Luna was about to leave "Hendricks" room but he decided to wake up at the moment. He took a deep and shallow breath. The sound of that breath startled Luna. Celestia came in to check on Luna but was shocked to see "Hendricks" awake.

"What the fuck did I drink?"

"Hendrick! Your awake!" Luna yells in excitement and ran towards "Hendricks" and hugged him.

"What got you so clingy?"

Luna Blushed and got off him

"Sorry..." She says

"it's fine. I'm just playing with you."

Celestia was also glad that Hendricks was awake but was nervous about telling him the news of the front.

"Uhh... Glad to see you, Hendricks..." Celestia says nervously

"Celestia I know that something is wrong when you say it like that"

"Uhh... how should I say it... the front has fallen..." Celestia retorts

I blinked. "What has happened?"

"How long was I out?"

"Two and a half weeks," Luna says.

"not surprised that the front has fallen probably they invented the tank now. did a person say big metal box has taken the front?"

Celestia & Luna was now dumbfounded on how he was not surprised and also knows about a big metal box.

"How did you know?" Celestia asked dumbfounded

"Ahhh... World war 1 all over again... history retold right now. anyways I could repel them with my own "metal box" okay?"

"wait you never told me that you had one?" celestia said.

"uhh, sister, he showed it in his dreams to me it's not like any other metal box..." Luna retorts

"Well, let's get the diesel in the lab first before we can move it." Mark was about to get up but was stopped.

"You are not going anywhere," Celestia exclaimed.

"why?"

"you haven't healed yet Shining armour took four whole weeks to heal from one of those wounds!" Luna Yells.

"I am not a pony am I?" I say standing up immediately.

"But... Nevermind" Celestia gives up seeing the human in perfect condition.

"by the way Luna it's not your fault. I was only asleep not in a coma... sorry for scaring you."

Luna blushed a bit more. she didn't expect him to hear her blame her self for the incident.

"Dam she cute when she blushes"

"anyways it's their choice to shoot me not you and I had my armour to thank only two out of the six came though."

...

...

"SIX!" both of them yelled.

"yeah, Six, two only missed my armour and went towards the side that's how I got injured. its not my armour fault."

"But but NO ARMOUR CAN WITHSTAND THAT KIND OF FORCE! ONLY HEAVY STEEL ARMOUR CAN!" They both still yelled dumbfounded at the discovery.

"I will show you soon."

with that Mark went out of the hospital with Luna and Celestia back towards the castle to have lunch. after lunch, he was directly heading towards the lab to pick up some fuel for his tank. after picking up the fuel he asked Luna to Teleport him towards ponyville but Luna instead wanted to come so she teleported with him.

BAM!

Mark was teleported with Luna near the Everfree. Mark had to dump his content in his stomach. he felt like shit after the teleport.

"I'm never going to teleport again..."

"You are such a foal." Luna States.

"Who is such a foal when left alone In the Everfree huh?"

"Nevermind..." Luna says.

off they went towards the Everfree.
