Equestrian War
Chapter 19: Insertion into Canterlot
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe hatches opened up and everyone waited for the green light. Anyone that was wearing a parachute hooked their lines up so that the chute would be pulled after they jumped. The light turned green and everyone started running. They leaped off the edge and began to freefall. The parachutes opened after fifteen seconds and everyone else spread their wings. The ground patrols spotted them and opened fire, but the army was ready. They started shooting back and crippled the defenses.
Touching down safely, they began freeing anyone that was being held prisoner and charging toward the palace. Celestia and Luna fired missiles from the gunships to take out the turrets that Neighsay had set up. Several duels broke out in the streets as the army forced their way to the castle. They blew up anything that was related to the peace agency and trapped any remaining agents in their barracks.
Neighsay was watching the fight from a balcony and shook his head in disgust at the army that was coming for him. When he saw that the army was almost into the castle, he started to slam the doors shut to barricade himself inside. He had remade his medallion and was getting ready to set up a shield, but a blast counteracted it. Flurry Heart had spotted the medallion and shot a blast from her horn that cracked it in half. Neighsay was angry and notified his guards to protect him.
When the army broke down the palace doors, they were ambushed by the protection force. If the army had not gone through their hard training, they would have been defeated. Since they had readied themselves, they battled the guards until none of them were left unhurt. Three guards were killed but the others were either severely injured or knocked unconscious. Without hesitating, the army pushed on until they reached the throne room. There were twelve more bodyguards that were protecting Neighsay, but the soldiers took them out in only three minutes. Twilight had learned how to seal a unicorn’s horn and fired the blast straight at Neighsay. He tried to block it, but the energy pierced through his shield and struck his horn.
When the light cleared, his horn was encased in a crystal and rendered useless. With that, Celestia and Luna teleported into the room after landing the gunships. They were enraged and their manes were in flames. Everyone else was the same way. Neighsay gulped in nervousness as they looked at him intently with snarls and gritted teeth.
