Ponyfield V: War Stories
Chapter 3: Under No Flag (Part 3)
Previous Chapter"Crash! Go get that Flak and take down those Stukas!" Gilda yelled. Rainbow Dash immediately sprang into action, she fired off a few burst at the incoming changelings, knocking few of them down. He saw a 20mm Flak 38 anti-air auto cannon sitting behind a cover built with simple sand bags, she have to do this fast and fierce, cuz the sand bags aren't gonna hold that long.
She got on the seat and started to aim at the closest Stuka, she tiled the auto cannon a bit in front of the plane, matching its speed, then she stepped on the trigger.
POM! POM! POM! POM!
The Flak fired sown burst, some missed the Stuka badly, but as time went on, the shots were getting more accurate. Rainbow have to watch out for two things; incoming Stuka firing at her and not to overheat the auto cannon by pressing the trigger too long. Luckily, the shots did not hit her nor the cannon's overheat rate. She kept a steady pattern, firing bursts at the Stuka. Finally, a few rounds hit the left wing of the dive-bomber and turned it into a flying torch. It crashed onto the ridge next by with a huge "BOOM!".
"Got one." Dash murmured, now rotating the cannon towards the other Stuka, which is coming at him. It fired a rain of bullets at him, but was blocked by the gun shield in front of the cannon. Due to that burst Dash missed the chance, letting the Stuka flew right by.
"Sonnava Bitch!" Dash gritted her tooth, lining up on the escaping Stuka. Once the iron site is in the right place, she set off the burst again. Small explosions and black clouds of smoke erupted around the Stuka, one shard went right through the cockpit and killed the pilot instantly. The Stuka begins to wobble before ramming the mountain side nose-first.
"Yees!" Dash had a confident smirk on her face as she searched for the last remaining Stuka, but it's nowhere to be spotted.
"God damn-it!" She murmured, "Where the hell did you go..."
Suddenly, she heard propeller noises, it's coming from her 6 o'clock. Immediately she levered the Flak 38 towards the Stuka who just flew upward from the valley below.
"Holy cow! Bitch tries to sneak on me!" Rainbow Dash did not waste a second, she continued to fire 3-rounds burst at the enemy dive-bomber. After almost using up two mags, the dive-bomber finally ignited in flames and crashed into the valley below.
Rainbow Dash is sweating hell a lot. However, the moment of peace was interrupted when she heard Gilda's furious scream, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET THE FUCK OUTTA THERE!"
Rainbow jerked up and grabbed her Tommy gun, sprinting towards where the angry Griffon is. They scrambled off the base and hid in the bushes until the Changelings ran passed them, cursing and kicking everything in their path. After 10 minutes of passing Death side-by-side. Gilda managed to find a safe spot to have a little "Talk" with the hot-headed Pegasus.
“'Sweet Celestia that was incredible Dash!' 'Yeah thanks, your welcome.'" Dash said, hoping Gilda had the same thought, unfortunately Gilda has other ideas.
"You're a fucking disaster." She spat.
"Me? You're the one who's gone and got herself shot full of holes ain't ya?" Rainbow replied.
"Yeah because of you, you tit." Gilda grunted.
"Listen, I'm sitin' pretty in prison, mate." Rainbow Dash fought back, "I was bothering nopony and gettin' shot at, til' you came along. This is your fucking fault!"
Gilda stopped dead in the track and looked Dash dead in the eyes, "Listen to me! You took the fucking deal, you want start paying off on your end then you need to fucking livin' yourself up Crash. You understand me?"
Rainbow Dash tiled her head away, Gilda looked to her direction. A Changeling armored car stopped in front of them. A Changeling came out, pointing his MP-40 at them. But he's probably a newbie, they knew by the fear in his voice, "Halt! Wer bist du?! (Stop! Who are you?!)"
Dash and Gilda shared a knowing look, then turned back to the Changeling, a smug smile on their faces.

Rainbow Dash is driving the car, with Gilda next to her. She had that smug grin on her face, behind them, in the trunk, a muffled scream of anger can be heard, "Pfui! Gottverdammt!"
They continued driving until they reached another Changeling HQ, stopping a few miles from it. Gilda handed Dash her Tommy Gun ammo and some bombs, of course it wasn't Dash's.
"You're gonna have to do this your own, just like what you did to the banks. Take it real smooth, don't want any of those shit-holes behind our flanks again." Gilda said.
"Alright no problem." Dash said, getting off the car.
"Good, now go do your job, I'm gonna have a little kip in this shit-hole." Gilda said, laying herself in the car.
She closed her eyes for a few seconds before opening them again, seeing Dash still standing there looking at her, "Don't just stand their staring at me you lesbian." She snapped, "Go! Move it! Move it!"
Dash went down hill without a word.

Dash checked her binocular, this base is a supplies station. And she'll have to set it all on fire with the bombs she received from Gilda.
"Need to make sure non of these supplies makes it outta here." She murmured before bending low and began to trespass the base's defense section. Her Tommy Gun loaded, but the last thing she wanted to do is to fire it. Don't want Gilda yelling the shit outta her with dozens of Changelings shooting at them again.
"Hmm... I wonder if I can call for the Navy to pick us up using the radio in the HQ." She said to herself while sneaking into the HQ. Passing a few guards unnoticed.
After having to sneak through the airbase from last tike, Dash was more stealthy comparing to her last mission, but her hooves were sweating like hell after she made it into the building of the supplies room. Luckily, there's only four guards in the room, two smoking, one napping, and another one daydreaming. Easy targets, no pressure.
Dash hid her Tommy Gun behind her as she pulled her battle knife out. She slowly approached to the napping guard, with a single swift slice across the throat, she put that lucky guard into an endless sleep.
She then went for the daydreaming one, putting him down and throat-sliced him before he could react. Now two has been taken care of, the smokers are all that's left. Dash sneaked behind the smoking one and covered his nuzzle with one swift move and then stabbing her knife through the guard's heart. he let out a muffled scream before dying, unfortunately, the other smoker heard the muffled scream. He looked towards the dead guard and saw a cyan Pegasus with a bloody knife.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Dash had no choice but to fire at the guard. The guard is dead, but it set off the entire base filled with Changelings. Cursing under her breath, Dash had to move onto her last part of objective one, plant and set off the bombs.
She quickly placed the bombs in the supplies before running off. She ran into a few lucky guards, but they all went to their deserved endless sleep by some knife slices on their throats. Now Dash's next objective is to disable the enemy radio, and to also call the Royal Navy.
What could possibly go wrong?
