Fall of Equestria: LIBERATION

LOCATION: THE RUINED GATES TO PONYVILLE

A fire team of caribou were standing near the ruined gate of Ponyville engaded with most insidious enemy of all soldiers. Boredom. "* sigh* 20 cunts who delayed our forces hiding in this dump, and We're stuck guarding these gate instead of helping the others hunt them down." A young buck with only four points to his antlers grumbled to his companion whose antlers had the same number of points.

One who was sitting on one of the fallen looked at the first said, "We're here to catch any guardscunt trying to slip out and warn any nearby towns as well as the Capital."

The fourth snorted and said, "More likely they want to keep members of clans that haven't prooven themselves."

The third suddenly began look around, his ears twitching. "Uh guys?"

"What does that have to do with anything?" The second snapped.

The forth replied, "Your Clan was supposed to wipe out the last village of the deer before they could disappear."

"That village had been abandoned long before my clan attacked! We never had a chance to stop the deer from departing."

"WE WON'T BREAK!"

"Uh guys." the third one repeated but the other three had gotten into a heated argument.

"WE WON'T BREAK!"

"GUYS!!" Third called out as he drew his bow. "WHAT?!" The other three called back.

"WE WON'T BREAK!"

"WE'RE UNDER AT..URK*" The third one tried to warn when stone spikes erupted from the ground and the stone rubble around turning the fireteam into corpses before they knew they were under attack.

LOCATION: PONYVILLE

Deer Fighters, Rogues, Rangers entered the township and began combing it for ponies and caribou. The Druids, Sorcerers, Wizards & Clerics mostly hung back with the paladins guarding the healers and arcane casters.

Warlocks, Hexblades & Duskblades circled around to the ponyville train station to secure it.

Caribou Runecasters found the runes that severely weakened pony magic was only a speedbump to the Deer arcane power.

LOCATION: SUGARCUBE CORNER

Inside Sugarcube Corner, the nineteen guardsmares listened to the battle that stated outside. The Caribou had unknowingly herded them into the bakery. They had originally planed that if the Caribou found them. That before they entered their hideaway they would kill themselves denying the caribou their prizes. Then the sounds of battle started. The guardsmares looked at each other in puzzlement. "Sounds like someone is attacking the caribou." a privete said. Then before they could react, a panicked caribou jumped though the window a positioned himself near a window. They looked at eachother and nodded.

Johan gazed out the window looking for hostile forces outside this shop. Suddenly he felt someone's sword tap him on the sholdier. He turned around to shout at what he thought was a comrade. His blood ran cold when he saw the guardsmares he and his fellows had been searching for. As they closed with him, he said, "Oh buck." with all the irony and defeat he could muster before the enraged mares mobbed him.

Location: Ponyville Station

Legolas led his team to the train station to do one of two things. The first was to liberate it from the caribou. The other thing was to keep ghe caribou from taking it. Suddenly, a caribou came tumbling out of the ticket office to land unconscious on the ground.

Looking at each other the deer hustle into the station to see a giantess of a mare fighting about nine caribou stags with one sickly stag coughing orders subdue the mare. Legolas looked at his comrades and with a nod the deer archers killed the caribou.

The mare eyed them warily as the traincrew poked their heads out of the engine. The deer looked at the mare noting she was eight feet tall, her muscles rippled under her skin. her clothes they noticed were more cut for a stallion especially with the shirt ruined and her pants barely staying on her childbearing hips. She crossed her arms then said, "You guys share the same body shape as the caribou but not the size. So are you with them or not?" Legolas stepped forward and said, "Bodyshape is the only thing we Share with the caribou filth." She smiled then said, "A pre-unification saying goes, 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.' and from what you said friend is all I need to know. Obsidian Twilight, second strongest pony in all of Equestria." Legolas saw a caribou moving to Attack the distracted Obsidian and fired an eldritch blast and killed him. Obsidian Twilight spun around and saw a headless caribou falling to the ground.

"Hippocrates. Go on about honorable combats yet when opponents prove too powerful, resort to trickery, dishonorable tactics, and mind controlling the males. Ptoo!" Legolas growled. "By the way, why are you here? I thought all ponies had gone to the Castle the Castle of Friendship."

Obsidian Twilight snorted as she said, "Train arrived an hour before the attack. Me and the train crew volunteered to stay here to keep the caribou from acquiring the train, while the passengers made for the castle. Because if they did, they'd have a quick way to Canterlot. We held out for two days before one of them used magic to change us into mares.

Location: Castle of Friendship: Caribou main camp.

General Bjorn was furious. Every turn his soldiers were being slaughtered by deer troops and to make things worse, that damn purple alicorn was on the balcony watching his humiliation of being beaten by of all things, the arcane might of the deer.

Seeing the caribou being defeated by arcane and martial might was giving the ponies the one resource they had been denied, hope. Hope they could turn things around. Hope that their way was NOT against nature. Hope was a dangerous resource because it gave the ponies and increased will to fight and enabled slaves to question their place.

The Deer getting involved, was the worse bit of luck to befall the caribou. Suddenly, roots and vines erupted out of the ground and began to bind him. Try as he might, he was immoblized. Looking up, what he saw made his blood turn to icy slush. Above him, wearing Leather scalemail, was a butter yellow pegasus with a long pink mane holding a quarterstaff. What filled his soul with terror were her eyes. Eye he had heard once filled with kindness were. now filled with righteous fury. Bjorn found himself gazing at the STARE!
