The Battlefield

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After the large explosion happened in Canterlot, several soldiers by Celestias order were forced to the battlefield. Bás was fighting with weapons they had never seen before, and it honestly scared them. The solar guards were fighting with spears, bows and arrows, and magic, but their enemies were fighting with something metallic. Pipsquek didn't like this one bit, he knew that he didn't have a choice but what could he do? He was fighting for Bás and their glory, but they were fighting unfairly with weapons that the royal guards didn't even have.

Pipsquek ran through the desert like place, and took cover over a large stone. He raised his head up a little and saw a couple of solar guards and shoot at them. The solar guards fell down dead or seriously injured. Pipsquek felt guilt, but it had to be done. His leaders obviously didn't care, or atleast that he knew of. His friend's ran up to him and took cover with him. Spike was looking depressed because he was fighting against his own country, but at the same time if he didn't do it, they would hurt the ponies he cared about. Rumble was in the same situation, his brother was in baltimare performing with the Wonderbolts, and he didn't know whether his brother knew or not. Twistin felt like crying, because of the death and destruction around them, only because they were stupid for not listening to the CMC.

"Okay, what is our position?" Spike asked, with adrenaline in his body.

"A couple of solar guards, are up ahead. We could rush it and surprise them and spray them with bullets." Rumble suggested, hoping that he wouldn't have to do anything to violent.

"Sure, i'll do it, just give em a few more seconds." Twistin said, surprising everpony and dragon.

"Alright, then it's settled." Pipsquek said, with worry in his voice.

Twistin waited for the solar guards to look his way, when they did, he ran out with his assault rifle in his hooves and aimed down the sight and shoot. The solar guards fell down dead with blood running down from their bodies from their wounds. Twistin felt horrified with himself, he didn't think he'd be able to pull it of, but he did. His friend's stood there dumbfounded by what happened, Twistin was a bit like Pinkie, a party animal, but they have never seen him so forced before. Spike was a dragon but even he thought that he wouldn't be able to pull it of. Rumble didn't want to think of it, he was surprised but at the same time wasn't. Pipsquek knew what drove Twistin to do something like this, he had heard from fellow soldiers that Twistin might had been threatened, for trying to communicate with the outside world, if it was true or not, remained un-said.

"Come on, we don't have all day. We gotta go back to the barracks." Twistin said, with a hint of fear in his voice.

They nodded and followed him. The train station between Bás, Canterlot and other parts of Equestria had been completely of shut, since the country got their new regime. Spike and his friend's reached the barracks and identified themselves. A door opened to reveal their whole military power. There were several large vehicles called 'Tanks' that was very big in size and drove on water, how The Cutie Mark Crusaders did it was a mystery. Spike suspected that it was their demolition expert, since he is extremely smart. There were other vehicles with weapons on them like LMG's and so on. Needless to say The Cutie Mark Crusaders was probably the strongest army in Equestria, maybe even the world! From stories that Spike heard from an gryphon, even queen Chrystalis was scared of the CMC military, so they signed a peace treaty. Inside the barracks were soldiers training and preparing for their defences. Spike felt guilty, because he was one of the ones that drew them away, he guessed that a part of him wanted to make amends and that's why he joined their military. 'If I had listened to their side of the story.' Spike thought letting a tear drop.

Twistin didn't really do anything towards the CMC but he still felt very guilty. He was not on the new's papers but he still ignored them. Pipsquek was guilty, but because he was blackmailed himself, was actually one of the reasons he lived like a rich pony.

Canterlot Castle - The Meeting Room

Celestia was in the meeting room discussing tactics with the generals. They were surprised by the weapons used by The Cutie Mark Crusaders they were astonished and amazed by the weapons, they hadn't been able to knock out one of the CMC soldiers, but they had gotten a good look on the weapons.

"I have never seen anything so dangerous but also useful. I'm afraid that they might win this war if they keep this up." One general said, sounding completely defeated.

"I understand general, but is there nothing we can do? Have you seen how it might work?" Celestia nearly begged.

"I'm sorry you're majesty, but I think there might be something inside this weapon, that helps it shoot it's spells." The general said, sounding defeated again.

This was an real headache. Then a thought hit her, maybe she should contact Sunset Shimmer? Maybe she knows of these 'weapons'. Celestia was completely desperate, if the CMC continued like this than they would win the war easily. She want's to help the CMC but in the same time she doesn't know how much of them is left. Her sister left yesterday, not wanting a part of this war, but what could she do? She would count on the element bearers but they were now just slaves to Bás. A few of Celestia's spies had said, that they had found Rainbow Dash in a some sort of labour camp that King Sombra used on the Crystal Ponies. She had been horrified when she saw the memories. Celestia sighed there was nothing she could do.

"Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. Please have mercy on you're ponies." Celestia begged.

you're time is almost up, CMC but what's the fun in intervening?
