//-------------------------------------------------------// Call Of Pony: World War II -by LordofChaos- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue: Band of Heroes //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue: Band of Heroes On September 1, 1039, World War Two began, every country in the world joined this massive war, more then 65 millions were killed... It's the greatest conflict in the Equestrian History.... Radio Stallion: With Unmatched ferocity, Storm King's War Machine has launched its blitzkrieg against Western Equestria... pushing it to the brink... As we brace for our darkest hour, we must summon our strength to be the bulwark against oppression. The Nazi onslaught will be the greatest test we'll ever face. But with our Allies, face it and defeat it, we must.... (~) On board of a military transport ship sailing across the Sea of Hippogriffia towards The occupied Changeling Hive. The ship was filled with soldiers from every nation; ponies, hippogriffs, griffons, changelings, dragons, yaks, etc. The year is now 1044, Storm King's forces were getting pushed back from the East by the Yaks, and from the west by them; the United Nation Army (UNA). Today is June 6, an hour before the massive landing operation called "Overlord." The 101st airborne had already airborne behind the enemy lines first yesterday at the evening, they'll cut off enemy communications and supplies. And on Today, the UNA will launch assault on the Beaches of Omaha, Sword, Utah, and Gold. Gallus "Red" Daniels and his platoon will be in the attack on Omaha, he highly doubted that he can survive this entire shit... (Gallus "Red" Daniels POV) I was in my team's room inside the ship. I turned on the radio, listening to President Celestia's speech. The others leaned in. "This day we set upon a mighty endeavor." we listened eagerly from the radio as Celestia's speech began, "A struggle to preserve our civilization… and to set free a suffering world. Our Sons. Pride of our nation. Lead them straight and true. Their road will be long and hard. Stallions' souls will be shaken with the violences of war. In this hour of great sacrifice... we shall prevail." We spend few minutes talking about her speech, then Sandbar decided to tell us his story of how he got beaten up by his high school football captain for refusing to give up his watch and that he decided to get revenge on the football team in a poker game. "So he asks me for my watch and I'm thinking, "What the hell do you want my watch for you're the captain of the Goddamned football team." But I turn around, and I fell this punch. And it's cold like ice." Sandbar said as he acted dramatically. I made some good buddies in basic, an' they're all on the boat with me. Everybody's scared as hell, but nobody's lettin' on. Sandbar then begin to play a knife game using his own combat knife. He sat his hoof on the table while poking the knife around the areas of his hoofs, faster and faster. Finally, he finished and tossed the knife on the table, "Boom! Now that's how it's done!" he exclaimed while crossing his arms. I hated Sandbar the first week a' basic, but now he's prolly the best friend I have in the world. He's always lookin' for trouble. If there wasn't already a war on he'd be off tryin' to start one. Sandbar saw Ocellus Stiles checking her camera, he offered his knife to Ocellus, convincing her to play the knife game. "Besides, I gotta keep my hooves if I'm gonna take photo of the year." she explained. That does make sense, Ocellus loves to take photos. She was a collage mare before attending the army, so no shits on her not doing soldier stuffs that much. Also, she had this glasses on which I don't think she should, but she shouldn't. Cuz if you take off her glasses, man she can't see shit. There's Smolder Aiello. She's a sarcastic one, but luckily she knows how to use sarcasm, or we'll be flooded to death by Smolder's sarcasm. "OH! Briefings in 18:00, we're gonna be late." Ocellus exclaimed as she checked her watch, realizing that they're almost late for the briefing. She and Smolder ran out. I know who they're afraid of. "I got us covered Daniels don't worry about it." Sandbar grinned as he showed me the pendant he got from Smolder yesterday in a knife game. But the second he turned his head around he bumped into a buff Gryphon. Shit, I thought. It's female Tirek. "Uh...hey there sarge..." Sandbar smiled nervously. "Briefing's about to start, what the hell you boys doin'?" she demanded. There's sergeant Gilda Pierson. A real sweetheart. "Oh, you think you're special, huh? The Krauts are gonna eat your lunch." she hissed. "No, not our lunch sergeant. Our lunch is secure." Sandbar stood straight and answered. "Watch your lip, Sandbutt. On me." Gilda scoffed as she walked away. Sandbar sighed in relief. "Since I'm obviously on a lucky streak, whatever happens, stay close. First the Changeling Hive, then the Rhine. We got this Gallus." he said as he patted me on my shoulder. We walked off towards the briefing. (~) All of the 1st Infantry division troops are on the deck of the ship and Col. Spitfire Davis briefs them on their mission. Me and my boys wee in a line, armed with full gears and a M1 rifle on our back. "Today, with our Allies... we embark on an operation of unparalleled importance. To establish a beachhead at Normandy... and rollback the Nazi aggression... that has terrorized Equestria for the past five years. We are all that separates the world from darkness. This so much more than a chance to be heroes in our own lifetimes. If we prevail... our triumphs will be etched into the hearts and minds of a grateful world for untold generations. I'm talking about glory gentlecolts and mares. True glory." Spitfire said in a calm yet confident tone that made every creature confident and ready. Colonel Spitfire sure can give it a nice speech. I thought as I look over my shoulder to see Sergeant Gilda and Lieutenant Terramar Turner. He's got 'im on a tight leash. But if Gilda breaks free, we'll all get bit. Ever since I could hold a rifle, I wanted to be like you Gab. You've always been a tough act to follow.But I'm damn sure gonna try. (~) After the briefing, every creature began to climb into the landing speed boats, each of us were nervous and scared as hell. We can hear distant gunfires and the artilleries ranging. On top of us, a squadron of P-40s zoomed by, towards the beach. The invasion had begun. The speed boats roamed towards the beach after every creature was on it. We're heading right into hell. I was writing a letter to my marefriend: Silversteam. Each day I missed her. Hoping this fucking war would be over soon so I can go back to her. "Hey,I wish I was coming home to her." Sandbar suddenly joined in. "Just wait until we hit Canterlot." I said. "Seems like a long way off." Sandbar sighed. I took a quick glance at my note book, closed it and put in in my pack. "Remember. No digging in at the shore. You gotta advance. You need to stay low and do not bunch up You stick to your training you're gonna make it through. I'm proud to lead you fellows into battle. Anytime, anywhere." Terramar said to his squad of soldiers, encouraging them. Bombers flew by on top of our heads. "YEAH! GIVE' EM HELL BOYS!!!" Smolder yelled. Machine gun bullets begin to bang at the hatch of the landing craft, causing ever creature to lower their heads. D-Day had begun.
