Chapter 42: Surprise visit and the front

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

At Grand Pegasus Enclave Base Aroura.

A Vertibuck came and landed and the door opened. Colonel Autumn Leaf in his power armor he stepped off and walked over to the command building and there was a knock. A Grand Pegasus Enclave soldier opened Lieutenant Honey Cake's door where she was sitting there working and reviewing after-action reports of her few remaining loyal squads where for some reason there had been some random assaults from the Raiders, Slavers, Alicorns, & Steel Rangers but they been holding them back so far.

"Lieutenant what are you planning on doing about the enemies that keep attacking you?" asked Col. Autumn Leaf, "I'll attack them and get it over with if you won't."

"I've dispatched my QRF to attack the nearby Raiders and Slavers." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "Then we'll move up to the Alicorns and the Steel Rangers."

"What's this?" asked Col. Autumn Leaf, "These circles with blue stars? What are they?"

"They're a group called "The Wasteland Guardians" and they have been friendly to us," said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "They don't make any threats than us."

"Eliminate them or I will," said Col. Autumn Leaf,

"Col." said Lt Honey Cake, "Eliminate them? They don't pose any threat to us."

"Did I stutter?" said Col. Autumn Leaf, "When we are victorious after Operation: Cauterize they're going to be an enemy. Who are you going to believe? Me your Commanding Officer or the enemy? Choose wrongly and I won't write a commendation for you to be promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel and not be my second-in-command. Wouldn't you like to lead your own battalion over several platoons? One day you might be a Colonel and lead your own Regiment or a Brigade one day."

"Yes sir." said Lt Honey Cake, "They'll be engaged as well and be added to our enemy list."

"Also, Fort Celestia." said Col. Autumn Leaf, "Where that Pegasi you recruited into our ranks. That's where he's held up. It's almost impenetrable with old machine guns and miniguns not adding old artillery and anti-air cannons. You'll get Hail Battalion and the Cloudship a Raptor-class or a ThunderHead-class to be help not me. The council says so where I don't like it but I'm not going to become a Dashite. Also, Don't kill Base just badly injury that bastard is mine!"

Colonel Autumn Leaf then left to go and prepare for Operation: Cauterize which is coming up within seventy-two hours. Lieutenant Honey Cake doesn't know what to do where she loves Purple and doesn't want to kill him and she loves the Grand Pegasus Enclave and Col. Autumn Leaf where she's torn.

"Damn it." said Lt Honey Cake, "Purple won't forgive me but I need to be loyal still to the Enclave I'm no dashite or traitor. I know that I can't marry two stallions. I don't see a Lt Honey Cake sandwich with Purple and Autumn Leaf being the bread with me in the middle. I don't know what to do. I wonder how Purple and they are doing? Haven't seen him in a while."

Lieutenant Honey Cake then took a long nap and had a dream of marrying Colonel Autumn Leaf. He stops being a brutal officer who sacrifices Enclave personnel for his own goals and drops his ego to be a loving and caring husband. She even knows she's living in a fairy tale in her dream and knows that Autumn Leaf won't change.

It took a couple of hours later and there was another knock on the door where it's the leader of Hail platoon who told her that she's their new commanding officer now not adding the Raptor-class cloudship the GPE RCC (Grand Pegasus Enclave Raptor-Class Cloudship) Typhoon.

Lieutenant Honey Cake then broke the battalion into platoons and had them go out and clear out Raiders and Slavers locations but sent 25% of the battalion down to the City of Empire or what remained of the city with the Raptor class cloudship as a mobile flying fortress. They ran into an enemy Metalic ship thing.

It fired upon them and missed them where the Raptor fired back at it. It damaged a super cannon it has where the two ships fired at each other like old wartime when Equestrian and Zebra naval ships fired at each other on the open seas when they both tried to gain an advantage over the others.

"Captain it's me. Lieutenant Honey Cake." said Lt Honey Cake over a radio, "I can sence you're under attack. Are you?"

"We are, Lieutenant." said the Captain of the Raptor-class cloudship named Typhoon, "We're a little busy at the moment. Can I get back to you?"

"Captain." said Lt Honey Cake, "Send a Vertibuck to Empire Park in the city center. You're about to receive some non GPE help. Unless if you want to fight without some help."

"Roger that Lieutenant." said the Captain, "Wind Sore, have a Vertibuck go to the city park." A big explosion happens in the background "Fuck! And tell them to double-time it."

"Oh a little heads up Captain." said Lt Honey Cake, "They're not Grand Pegasus Enclave but they're allies of mines and they'll gladly help."

It took almost thirty minutes for the round flight trip to happen.

There was another explosion where the Typhoon was hit again.

"Captain." said Lieutenant-Commander Wind Sore, "Starboard weapons are down. We got hull breaches in sectors 2,8,15,17,19,3,1. and 12. We got fires in several sectors as well."

"I see you got a fight on your hooves." said an unknown voice, "We'll we're here to help."

"There's my side force or allies." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "Purple can you help the captain before the Typhoon goes down in fire and blows up?"

"Captain." said Purple, "Can the Typhoon and your Vertibucks provide fire support while me and my friends storm it and destroy it?"

"Lieutenant- Commander." said the Captain of the Typhoon. "Get Vertibuck squadron Sleet into the air and the Vertibuck that brought them here onto that ship."

Lieutenant-Commander Wind Sore nodded and did what he was told.

On Base's flying metallic cloudship.

Base's Grand Pony Enclave forces were getting ready to head down onto the surface to fight until the Vertibuck that brought Purple, Rocky, Midnight, Rainy, Twyla, Opel, Shining, Pearly. Critical, and Starry had to hard battle to get to the bridge.

There Vertibuck left where Midnight Twister said, "We could've used the support."

"That fucker's dead. Now that fucker's dead." said Critical Shot, "One shot, one kill... He won't see this one coming."

Pearly told them to cover them which lead Critical Shot to say, "It's like hunting back on the farm. Like hunting Hedgehogs and Radhogs like a colt and a teen with my ma. But instead of animals, it's a militaristic raider group."

"Cowards." said Midnight, "Can't handle a fight for this long."

"They're weaker than Raiders and Slavers." said Rocky, "Look at the cowards."

"Don't underestimate them." said Purple, "They're not like your ordinary raiders and slavers. The last time I was in one of these it was me and Sunrise and the hallways are seven feet wide. They're probably barricading it."

They all went over to a door and Purple said, "Midnight, Rocky, Rainy, Pearly and Shining your Alpha 1-2. Me, Sapphire, Opal, Twyla, Critical, and Starry will be Alpha 1-1. We'll go and secure the bridge. The rest y'all go and secure the engine room so the enemy can't go and destroy it."

"Purple will you please stop using that lingo!" snapped Rocky Road, "It's been getting on my nerves!"

"Sorry Rocky." apologized Purple, "I was raised in Stable 190 and we were taught to use military lingo and use old military tactics from when we were fighting Zebra's before the Balefire bombs flew. It's what I'm use to being around it since I was four-years-old and been taught it for fifteen years."

"You're twenty?" asked Rocky

"Go down" replied Purple

"You're fifteen?" asked Rocky

"Go up by four," said Purple

"You're nineteen?" asked Rocky

"Bingo right on the bits." said Purple, "Sorry for saying an old saying. Right on the bits mean you're accurate/correct. Just me relying on what I was taught in the Stable is what made me then us survive longer. Sorry I'll try my best to not keep doing it."

___

In a hallway,

"I think you were a little harsh on him." said Midnight, "You got to respect how he was born and raised. He was sheltered his entire life in where he was. He been out here in the Wasteland for almost three months and he's still learning the wasteland. He knows that Raiders, Slavers, and Alicorns are bad. We are good. So cut him a little bit of slack."

"Yeah I think he isn't going to go back to his Stable anytime soon on what he saw." said Rainy Night, "Also I don't care if he speaks military lingo or not. I've been born and raised in the Grand Pegasus Enclave my whole life and use of using military lingo."

All of them asked what he saw and Rainy Night said, "He caught his mother in a gang-bang with her enjoying it and all that. He didn't and doesn't know what to do but he doesn't trust his mother and doesn't want to talk to her. I don't think he wants to go back to his Stable anytime soon. After all if I saw my mother give another stallion a blowjob, have another one do her in her butt and two more in her mare area. I wouldn't talk to my mother ever again I would request the most furthest assignment away from her."

"I killed our mother and father." said Midnight Twister, "They sold me into slavery I returned a decade later and shoved a fire ax into the side of their faces and when they asked why I did that. I took Rocky Road and burned down the house while they were bleeding out burning them alive."

"That's... Dark" said Rainy Night

"It's called Wasteland Justice." said Midnight Twister, "The reason I joined with Purple is to protect ponies and creatures from the Wasteland and the Slavers, Raiders, and Alicorns."

___

Over in another hallway.

"Sapphire, and Opal with me." said Purple, "Critical, Starry stay here and defend this barracade so they can't retreat this way."

"By the time this war ends." said Paladin Sapphire, "A lot of ponies will die. And a lot will be displaced."

They stormed the bridge with Critical Shot and Starry acting as a rear guard and they killed everypony on board. They weren't in power armor which gave them an advantage over Enclave ponies in power armor.

Purple had a flashback when Sunrise and he stormed the bridge to destroy Base's cloudship thing that's different than the others. But when they go destroy the engines Sunrise stayed behind and sacrificed herself to destroy the ship, Purple still blames himself where she didn't have to stay behind where she could've teleported to safety.

"I'm not a good friend." said Purple, "I first put my Stable in trouble and got all but one of my friends killed. And Sunrise Storm been dead for a month it's all my fault. Pumpkin Pie, Scrumptious, Jackpot, Lucky, Soaring Jet, Diamond Astute, Trick Light, Cantle. My friends back in the Stable are dead. And my first wasteland friend is dead. It's all my fault. I'm not a good friend, I'm not a good friend, I'm not a good friend. I'm a bad friend, I'm a bad friend, I'm a bad friend."

"Snap out of it Purple!" said Paladin Sapphire Heart, "It's war! Ponies who you'll love or adore will live or die! It ain't up to you it just happens! I've lost friends in Bucklyn Cross when somepony and her friends went and massacured the Steel Rangers there. When I get my hooves on her and her friends she's going to be sorry she was born."

"All right I'm calmed." said Purple, "I'm just not use to this combat and blood. In Stable 190 we were taught to hoof-to-hoof combat and how to break out of chokehold without the use of magic or the use of wings. In Stable 190 they teach you how to fight but they don't teach you or train you how to expect the nightmares of combat. I'm just a Stable Dweller who came out, explored a little bit, and now created my own faction to protect others from the horror of the wasteland."

"This pony named Base is a dumb ass." said Paladin Sapphire, "Build a "cloudship" made of metal. Good concept in the mind not in reality because now enemy troops can board it and destroy it. Or capture it."

Purple walked over to a crate and found a Star Blaster and some cells. He took it for himself where Purple decided to go and reinforce Rocky, Midnight, Twyla, Rainy, Pearly, and Shining. When Purple went on his way to the Engine room he didn't use the Star Blaster. But his automatic 7.62mm battle rifle and shot them but he made it quick.

***
In the engine room they were about to leave it where a door blew open knocking all but Purple down. He fired it fourteen times hitting the soldiers in Base's Grand Pony Enclave turning them into ash. Purple then opened his saddle bag and got the healing potions he has and gave it to Rocky, Midnight, Twyla, Rainy, Pearly, and Shining which they drank and healed up.

They all heard the sound of a tin can so they asked what Midnight Twister what he has where he said "Nothing" with his mouth full of something. All of them besides Purple used his magic to suppress him where they opened his saddle bag and found it full of Mint-als, Painkillers, Rage, and Dash. They all thought his eyes were red from sleepless nights of having nightmares when he was a slave not a junkie.

All of them turned against him besides Purple where Purple said, "I don't care if he takes drugs. As long they don't make him kill us and make him a productive member of this team. I don't care if he tries to masterbate as long it doesn't get us killed."

They did what Purple and Sunrise did last time but all of them were able to make it out of there.

***
At Grand Pegasus Enclave Base Aroura.

Lieutenant Honey Cake had an old sketching pad and a pencil. She sketched her and Colonel Autumn Leaf getting married where she loves him and Purple. But she loves Colonel Autumn Leaf more for his brutal tactics and ways to win battles and she tries to be him.

Honey Cake then heard hoof steps approaching so she hid the old sketching book and went over to the map and Hail battalion was broken up into platoon elements where Starlight squad is busy hunting down raiders, Granite squad is busy hunting down slavers, and Lighting squad/w Aroura, Bullseye, Creeper and Ghost squads are hunting down other enemies including alicorns.

Honey Cake also have Boogeystallion, Hitpony, Icepick, Ninja, Phantom, Specter, Vampire, Cerewolf, and Reaper Squads are in reserve not adding having Trauma Rescue and Advanced Reconnaissance team squads back at GPE Base Aroura.

"There their little one." said Lt Honey Cake, "You'll grow up in a safe wasteland united under the Grand Pegasus Enclave. You'll have lots of foals to grow up and play with and play with other ponies when you're old enough.". Then Honey Cake then rubbed her belly with her wings.

***
Lieutenant Honey Cake entered the command building and hailed the Typhoon.

"This is the Typhoon." said the Captain, "We're not fine. We're severely damaged returning to base for repairs. We're disengaging from support for our soldiers on the ground."

"Roger that." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "We'll be awaiting your arrival so we can start repairs."

There was a magic sound where she jumped up when a hoof was placed on her. She turned around and saw Purple. She was about to hit him but she didn't and asked what he wants.

Purple used his wing and pointed over to the medical building where Lieutenant Honey Cake walked over to see the medical building is packed with injured Grand Pegasus Enclave ponies with many more on the way.

"Medbay is filled and probably be losing supplies soon." said Lt Honey Cake, "And many more are inbound. What I'm I going to do?"

Purple then pointed to himself which made Lt Honey Cake tilt her head and asked what he wants.

"We can help." said Purple, "Yeah your boss and your council will hate it but we'll help. Yeah, The Grand Pegasus Enclave may be mean and extremely rude and close-minded but we'll help them. Consider it payback when you stole my DNA and sperm. After all these young mares and stallions have a lot to live for."

"Purple let's take a walk." said Lt Honey Cake, "I would rather tell you in private."

Purple and Lt Honey Cake walked side by side and said leaning at Purple's left ear, "Purple. I know you and Base hate each other and he went back on your two truce and backstabbed you. But you better fly or gallop or do what you do best."

"Planning? Stratagizing?" said Purple,

"Being used to breed with others?" said Rocky Road

"Not moving on after it been two months since Sunrise Storm's death?" said Midnight Twister

"Being a great cuddling bear who wants to have a special somepony?" said Paladin Sapphire, "Wait? Where's the others?"

"Listen. Purple I know you and your brother don't get along." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "But you got three days to get to Fort Celestia or The Pyre. If not the Hail battalion will storm it and kill everypony but capture your brother and he'll be killed by my CO. My CO will kill him after he kills a pony Red Eye. I got that because I heard him say sometimes saying he "wants to deal with that bastard myself" so I got that assumption."

"How is your CO?" asked Purple

"Colonel Autumn Leaf." said Lt Honey Cake, "He's a brutal officer who'll sacrifice countless Enclave soldiers for his own gains. If you told him he'll lose half a million Enclave soldiers to take a inch of ground. He'll throw his forces and mind-controlled Hellhounds to take that inch. He has a ego as well. He's also a charismatic leader. I have a feeling he'll leave his family at the gates of hell and say "They're an acceptable loss" I have a feeling that if he has a family if he isn't gay I don't know I didn't ask and I won't but I'd say he'll to the same to his wife and foals or husband. I don't know why I have a crush on him."

Unknown to Purple, Rocky, Midnight, and Paladin Sapphire is that Twyla, Opel, Shining and Pearly are either killed or currently under attack by Grand Pegasus Enclave, Base's Grand Pony Enclave, Raiders, Slavers, Alicorns and every evil faction in the wasteland against then even some Steel Rangers.

Critical Shot and Starry are hiding from raiders and doing there best to keep a low profile where Raiders would kill Critical Shot, decapitate him and put his head on a pike if not rape him. They would rape Starry until she either dies or tries to escape one day or night.

***
In the small city of Empire.

"Shhhh." said Critical Shot, "Raiders on the other side of the wall patroling the streets for ponies and creatures to capture to torture."

Starry is scared out of her mind but she crawled on the floor and made her way over to Critical Shot. They could hear gunfire and ponies screaming in the distance. Starry then bumped into Critical's butt where she saw a raider standing there but looking the other way. Starry saw the raider taking some Dash and Buck then drinking some beer.

The raider then moved into another room and closed the door. It wasn't long until they heard some heavy breathing and moaning sounds. It only lasted for ten minutes, the door opened, and the raider walked by them thinking they were dead where the raider farted in the small enclosed room before going out another door.

Critical and Starry went into another room and went upstairs. Starry asked what the raider did in the room when the raider moaned and breathed heavily where Critical said "He was masturbating. Don't ask me how I know that. Screw it I use to masturbate as a teenager up to five times a day. You could say I had a date with "Rosie hoof and her sister the tip of my hoof" I'm not sorry."

The raiders moved on and it gave them some room to move on and they did where they entered an old Equestrian Army checkpoint. In a tent, they found several rounds of .44 Magnum rounds, a copy of "Equestrian Army Today", and a Stealth Buck.

They saw a steel wall blocking their advance with a lot of old biohazard warnings and danger signs so they avoided going through it. The sun started to set through the cloudy day. They spent the night in a old Equestrian Armed Forces recruiting station.

They saw a poster that said "VICTORY JUST A WING'S BEAT AWAY! FIGHT WITH HONOR! FLY WITH DIGNITY! KILL WITH VENGENCE! JOIN THE R.E.A TODAY!"

Another poster that says "WIPE THE STRIPES! JOIN THE EQUESTRIAN FORCES TODAY!"

The third poster says. "THE SHADOWBOLTS KEEPING EQUESTRIA SAFE" this poster has three Shadowbolts.

The fourth poster says. "COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU! FULL SPEED AHEAD WE STILL GOT A BIG JOB TO DO! JOIN THE EQUESTRIAN NAVY TODAY!" this poster shows an Earth, Unicorn, and a Pegasus sailor.

The fifth poster says, "LET'S HIT THE ZEBRA'S WITH EVERYTHING WE HAVE! JOIN THE EQUESTRIAN NAVY" this poster shows an Earth pony on a 5''/25 caliber artillery gun with a 3x 8 inch/55 caliber artillery cannons in the background.

The sixth poster says, "THERE ACCURACY DEPENDS ON OURS! LET'S GO EVERYPONY KEEP'EM FIRING!" this poster has an Equestrian plane and a Zebra plane dogfighting which planes are a new technology because in wars both sides will advance their technology.

The seventh poster says, "YOU GIVE US THE FIRE WE'LL GIVE 'EM HELL!" this poster has two planes shooting at Zebra's which they're providing CAS to Equestrian soldiers.

The eighth poster says "JOIN THE EQUESTRIAN AIRFORCE SOAR ACROSS THE SKIES IN NEW TECHNOLOGIES!". This poster has a plane which is new tech for the Equestrian Airforce.

Starry went over to a terminal which was on and unlocked. She saw a list of new recruits but even the recruiter asked why one of the Ministeries built a dummy city near the front lines. Critical went over to a map of Equestria and saw that the towns and city of Empire aren't on the map. They were used by the military as testing targets for urban combat and to test new technology like planes or longer-range artillery or bio and chemical weapons.

They just slept on the old carpet in the city where in the morning they got up and headed south to the town of Crimson.

"I had a shot." said Critical, "I saved Purple's brother from Raiders and I could've shot him and prevented all of this."

"You didn't know." said Starry, "You can't predict the future. You thought he was just a wastelander in trouble. You can't predict the future and you didn't know. It's alright."

***

By some mountains, they followed a road into in and found a town where there was a Green Alicorn their and they cautiously approached and the green alicorn said.

"Welcome to safesville." said the Green Alicorn, "Keep your weapons holstered some of a lot of us gotten shot at by wastelanders."

The two entered Safesville which is filled with two dozen Green, Purple and Blue Alicorns.

"Excuse me Ms?" asked Starry, "What powers do you Alicorns have?"

"Us green Alicorns." said the Green Alicorn, "We can create nearly impenetrable shields. The blue Alicorns can be invisible and the purple Alicorns can teleport."

"Interesting." said Starry, "Are there any male Alicorns?"

"No." said the Green Alicorn, "Just us mares. But I heard that somepony is going to try and turn himself into a male Alicorn or find a way to make male Alicorns."

"There is a male Alicorn." said Starry, "My friend back in the town of Crimson or the Grand Pegasus Enclave base Aroura he's a Purple Alicorn. I can go bring him if you want?"

"We'll believe it when we see it." said the Green Alicorn, "You bring your friend who's a Male Alicorn and we'll see it for ourselves."

Starry went out by herself avoiding Raiders, Slavers, Alicorns who aren't friendly, Hellhounds, and other mutated creatures of the wasteland.

Starry encountered Purple, Rocky, Midnight, and Paladin Sapphire while walking on Highway 104. They followed her back to Safesville and all the Alicorns were actually in shock to see a male alicorn with a cutie mark and they didn't know what to say.
