Fallout Equestria: Reborn
Assault on Fillydelphia and War
Previous ChapterNext ChapterEbony looked over the sleeping Blackjack, his eyes narrowed, and looked over to P-21 and Morning Glory, "How bad?"
She winced, "Worse than we assumed, she is entirely paralyzed and lucky to be alive."
He frowned, "We need to fix her, Steelpony is not ready to be used yet, but we really have no choice. P-21 You are the closest pony to a family with her, what do you suggest?" He looked torn for a moment, "It's up to you, but know this if we use a Mechanical spine we will have to amputate her legs partially, we aren't using Custom parts, we are using parts already made and we will have to adjust to what we have."
"What about the legs you will be amputating?"
Ebony sighed, "I'm unsure, we could keep them in storage but they may decay very quickly."
"Or?"
"Or I don't know, sorry."
Morning Glory frowned, "It still hurts, will she be the same pony?"
Ebony nodded, "She will be, maybe even enhanced."
Ebony walked to the Command Deck and looked over to Captain Sea Green, "How is the procedure with Blackjack going?"
Sea Green nodded, "Well, the only issue is that well you already know that."
"So it's going good?"
"Yep, now onto other matters, the Fleet is ready and some of the ponies unfrozen will be taking the HMS Rarity, Fluttershy, Hoofington, Manehattan, and Canterlot."
"So we have the whole fleet?"
"Yep, and good news, Hoofington is going Solo, Directly under your command."
"What does Hoofington have again?"
Sea Green blinked in surprise, "You don't know, it's one of the strongest ships in this entire fleet, The Armor plating is made entirely of Reinforced Star Metal, and the cannons are smaller versions of Hoofington Cores' own cannons, all of the ship that is not covered in Star metal is covered in thick Titanium-Tungsten alloy. Not to mention the fact it has 4 Balefire Reactors, 3 launchable Mega Spell sites, and a missile bay that are not Balefire."
"So it's a floating indestructible Fortress, that can blow up targets miles away and can use Mega Spells." Ebony blinked when Sea Green nodded, "I like it. What kind of Mega Spell?"
"Easy, Repair, Heal, and Sun Strike."
"So two support spells and one combat spell?"
"Yeah, Sun Strike is a better version of the one Twilight used in Manehattan, it doesn't need sun contact to use it just needs enough Magic energy to perform, good for you guys the Balefire Reactors provide the power."
"So all we have to do is guide them, we really don't even have to make the Spell just guide it to its location?"
"Mostly, it will take 3 unicorns to make the spell."
"Got it. So Where is she?"
Sea Green grinned, "look to the south, you will find her." Ebony smiled.
Ebony walked outside the Command Deck and looked towards the south, and boy was he impressed. The Ship was coated in thick ebony black metal that seemed to extend the Turrets were the same color with sickly green high lights across the weapons. "So this is my baby? My ship? She looks totally Unstoppable."
Sea Green nodded, "That's why Luna made her, to be the Unstoppable ship just like Hoofington City, She made her to be the morale ship of Hoofington Region, Hoofington Rises after all. Now Hoofington Floats for Eternity."
Ebony turned to look at HMS Hoofington, "Does it have a dry dock and vehicle storage bay?"
Sea Green nodded, "Big enough for multiple vehicles and it even has a small Fighter Jet that can be deployed, it is capable of dropping small bombs, and the Pilot is always ready for action."
"So it's technically an all-purpose Vessel?"
"Not really, but also yeah, it can't do everything but what it can do it perfects."
"I will see you later then, I will be picking up my Fireteam and keeping Silent Mistress on board."
"Oh and keep raiding SSC and Stashes, you never know what we could use."
"Got it, I also want Blackjack and her team on my ship when the time is right, one pony cant save the world, only together can we do it."
"Will do mate!"
Ebony stood on the Command deck of his Ship, his eyes narrowed as he watched the small white arrow on the Equestrian map exit Hoofing Reigion. The ship was headed towards Fillydelphia, he heard his sister had just sent an SOS from that region, He would help.
He had already picked up his Nova Team He Met the Captain of the ship, it was an older female Hippogriff. "Oui kid, get your skinny ass in here!"
Ebony sighed, he had to deal with her quirky and almost slutty personality. "Coming."
He walked into the Bridge and looked at Captain Feather Load, our Feather. "We have some... unpleasant company." Feather Load looked out in front of the ship and scowled, Ebony followed her gaze and frowned. "What do we do Boss?"
It was a small fleet of what he could only assume were Zebra Pirate ships, "Open fire with all weaponry if that doesn't destroy them it will keep them away."
The Laser and Plasma turrets all hummed as they activated, "Oh we are doing this the fun way, can I grind on your-"
"-No." outside Ebony didn't look flustered but Feather Load knew otherwise, he was shy and he just didn't know how to deal with mares wanting him.
"Aw, no fun."
"Aren't you old enough to be my mother?"
"Uh, rude, I'm only 31!"
"Im 18"
"Oh, then yeah."
"Thought so."
By the time they finished their conversation, the ship's turrets opened fire releasing beams of magical death. By the time the pirates realized their mistake their ships were already sinking, those that survived the barrage landed in the water mentally lost at what happened, and they quickly surrendered.
"Great, more prisoners."
Not too long after the Ship arrived near Fillydelphia, The weapons all aimed towards Red-eyes base. "I will be disembarking if this does south retreat and wait. I will be bringing my sister and her team Back."
Ebony flew off towards Red-Eyes base. He sent a message to his sister on her location, he frowned when he received the message. "Stable-Tec?"
He landed a few miles away from the Base and put a physical restraint over his wings, "I can't have my sister or anyone know about my wings yet." He had been making an excuse that he can fly with self-Telekinesis, which he absolutely could, it was just easier to fly. He walked up to the entrance of the Stable-tec HQ, A few Steel rangers stopped him and checked out his gear, they found nothing unusual.
Ebony followed a Stallion wearing Scribes uniform, there was nothing that stood out about the stallion, absolutely nothing. Ebony couldn't even look at the stallion's face he looked so normal, oh wait no, that's a grizzly scar. Ebony actually paled when he realized it, that scar would have killed any pony that received the injury, and yet this pony lives. "So?" Ebony asked,
"So, we are here."
Ebony sighed as they arrived at the manager's office, he pushed the door open and was met with a Steelranger and an Elder, he looked around for his sister. "Where is my sister, Pip?"
"She is getting ready, we need you to be a distraction for Red-eye." Ebony raised an eyebrow, "I know it sounds stupid but Red-eye is very suspicious of everything now that he had been attacked, Pip has to get inside to get the Schematics for the Balefire Reactor, and her team has to do other things. She called you to help her do this, can you do it?"
Ebony sighed, "I could easily, my team is top quality, and I own a Tank-"
"A Tank?! Just who are you!"
"General Ebony Blade of the Peacekeeper Organization."
"General You? Why would they allow a Kid to lead them."
"Because this Kid is who attacked Red-eye and developed a new Faction In Hoofington region that stands Toe to Toe with The Steel rangers and the Reapers." Ebony frowned.
"You are very forward with this info, aren't you scared I may do something?"
"Sometimes info can prevent a war, and sometimes It can start one."
Ebony teleported outside the Steel Ranger Base and pulled up his Pip-buck with a wild smirk, "Sometimes all you need is a little info to destroy a faction, Thank you, Elder, for the knowledge on your Radio Frequency." He started to hack into the entire Steel Ranger Radio, he walked away from the base, "First I had to do this distraction, then I will be attacking their morale."
Ebony pulled out his Peace Keeper Radio, "I want Nova Team en route to Red-eyes Base, tell them it's time we make an entrance in main Equestria. I want HMS Manehattan, Canterlot, and Rarity to join up with HMS Hoofington. I want HMS Spike to move into a good firing Position for the Manehattan region."
He didn't wait for a response he closed the channel and started to run toward where his Team would be waiting, 'It will take us a day to prepare and for Pip to find what she can.'
He quickly regrouped with his Team, and they prepared, "Okay so this is a loud Operation, That means The tank will be used to its fullest. I want Rust and Blaze Stump flanking the Tank, Silent Hunter using the Auto Turrets to open fire, and Crackshot I want you to use the 50.cal Minigun. Ripper I want you to keep the rear cover and use the Heavy Armor, I will be driving the tank while the weapons are automated the drive sectors are not, someone has to manually command the system to drive."
"Okay boss, what should we do for the distraction?"
"Rip and tear until all that stands in our way is dust!" Ripper giggled in an almost maniacal manner. "No but seriously, we should just kill everyone that gets in our way and help the slaves, Ebony you should use something to convince the Raider Slaves into joining us."
Ebony nodded, 'I could use Kotoamtsukami to 'convince' the Raiders into joining us, and I could use words to convince the other slaves.' "Good idea Ripper, Okay, change of plans, this is no longer a Distraction, we are going to go on the assault against Red-eye."
"Boss, are you sure we can win this battle? This isn't a raider group, this is an Organized faction."
Ebony rubbed his chin, "I know, but what other choice do those ponies inside that wall have? We may be their only chance, Red-eye has lost a great number of ponies, and those that were on his side are close to leaving. So The best way I can think we hack into Red-Eyes radio, and use that as a powerful distraction, it will give hope to the slaves and also make the slavers lose morale. We also should send out a deal to any Slaver that wants to join us, better food, water, supplies, medical aid, etc. This will cause the enemy to both panic and possibly join us, the Slaves will likely join us."
"Okay but still you haven't said, we will likely be facing well over a hundred ponies-"
"Correction 50, their numbers here have greatly decreased from our attack, but you still have a point." Ebony looked up in the sky and smirked, "Why not use Celestia's Grievance."
"The Stealth Raptor, won't that bring unwanted attention, the planes are suspicious enough but a Raptor?"
Ebony sighed, "Good point, shit a second plan down the gutter." Ebony had an idea, "Wait, why not use a second-strike team?"
"Who? Who can help us?"
Ebony frowned, 'Each of our ships has at least 5 Strike teams, HMS Hoofington is an Exception with only 2, and the second has been dealing with Stable 99 for the past few weeks now. None of the other ships will be able to make it on time, what if cloned myself...'
"I have an idea, it will be a good distraction."
"We will do that then boss."
Ebony nodded, 'Time to prepare for the assault.'
In the middle of the night, Ebony used Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu to produce hundreds of Shadow clones, he sent them to the opposite side of the base and made them Henge into random ponies.
The night passed and now Ebony sat in the white space of the Silent Mistress System, he watched all the camera feed and pushed the tank onward with his eternal crew trailing behind.
They arrived at the front gate and Ebony hacked into Red-Eyes Radio, "This is General Ebony Blade of the Peacekeeper group, we are sorry we had to hack into your regularly scheduled program. Today marks the start of a New Era for Equestria, Peacekeeper will be attacking Red-eyes base with a full battalion on the east section. This is your only warning, any slaves retreat to your dens, and any Slavers who wish to join us join the Slaves in their dens. Those who remain should surrender at the east gates, those who do not surrender will perish, you all have 6 minutes to heed this warning. 6 Minutes counting now." A countdown was heard starting at 5:59 and down, and chaos erupted inside the base ponies were injured, and some were shot for insubordination. Ebony smirked, "This will lower their numbers, Remember no killing ponies that surrender, are unarmed, or are slaves."
6 Minutes passed and Ebony sent the message to his clones, almost instantly the sounds of panicked yells and gunfire were heard.
Silent Mistress punched through the west gate, met with a crowd of panicking ponies that realized what was happening, and reached for their guns, some fell to the ground whimpering. Those that pulled out their guns were gunned down by an overwhelming force of 5mm bullets and 50. cal minigun, the Auto Grenade Launcher released a near-constant stream of 40mm grenades. The Auto turrets released a barrage of angry red laser streaks that turned those it impacted into dust. Ripper only used her quad set of Miniguns and Rocket Launchers when an enemy tried to sneak up behind the tank. The Main Cannon fired at any balloons in the sky or huge groups of ponies to disrupt their charge.
The Battle lasted minutes but it didn't take long for the first injury to occur, Ripper was shot and retreated inside the Tank. Blood dripped down the inch-wide hole in her foreleg and some of the bullets that punctured her armor. Next was Crackshot who had a hole in his ear and blood dripping from his left eye. Ebony started to grow concerned for his team, "Stay inside you two, I can't lose any of you." Ripper used a healing potion to heal the bullet holes, while Crackshot had to retreat to the Tanks only Auto Doc.
Silent Hunter continued to fire the laser turrets even though many of them were damaged and refused to fire. Rust and Blaze Stump held the line alone even as their weapons failed or ran out of ammo, using their Martial arts-empowered power armor to absolutely wreck any pony they could. Soon though their struggle ended as Blaze Stump was shot in the skull with an AP 50. cal round, she slumped to the ground dead. Rust seeing her fall picked up her body and retreated inside the tank. "Boss this was a bad idea, we lost Blaze Stump!"
Ebony frowned, "Fuck fuck fuck fuck! Think!" He looked at Blaze Stump's dead body and his world started to turn red at the edges of his vision, "I have an idea, I want you guys to use the Tank to retreat, I will be a diversion, fuck."
"Boss we just lost a pony we can't lose you also, we really can't lose you."
Ebony's eyes morphed into his Eternal Mangekyou, "You won't, I will have to see how powerful these eyes truly are, I will be going down unknown territory when I use them this way." The rear Tank hatch swung open just as it was surrounded by Slavers. Ebony walked outside calmly and closed the hatch. "Sorry, but you won't be getting a single pony today, instead I will be death to your death steps." Ebony's eyes pulsed and he was instantly engulfed into a Perfect Pony Susanoo, covered in red eternal armor holding with a horn and a set of wings on its back, Inside a magic field the Sword of Totsuka and Yatamir Shield formed in their full glory. The Tank spun its treads and retreated, vanishing soon after activating its Stealth Field. Ebony stood inside his Susanoo placed inside the head of the Giant magic/Chakra construct. "This is the power of the Peacekeepers!" Ebony's left eye bleeds and pulses, "Amaterasu!" A wall of black flames formed behind where the Tank had traveled, "You all will die here by my hooves, so know this, your Red-eye cares naught for you at all." Ebony grinned, blood leaking into his mouth and staining his teeth, "You all will perish knowing this. Goodbye."
Meanwhile, Little Pip was fleeing with Xenith and saw her brother inside the Giant construct, "Bro? What are you..."
Xenith looked over to where her eyes were and blinked, "Your Brother is a God of something... No Mortal pony could possibly possess such powers. We must go, he is buying us time to flee." Little Pip was still frozen, Xenith sighed and knocked Pip out, "Foolish little pony, running is our only option." She ran carrying Pip on her back.
Ebony's Susanoo was soon grabbed by an angered Alicorn, He shouted and released his Susnaoo accidentally. He fell to the ground surrounded by enemies, his eyes still in their Eternal formation was able to trace the bullets that headed his way, he darted around completely avoiding the rounds. He soon appeared behind a stallion with his Katana unsheathed, His blade cut the air, flesh, and bone as if none were there. The Spray of blood coated his fur and he moved on, He jumped over a shotgun blast and stabbed the Katana into the shotgun ponies skull he tore his blade from the skull with a flourish.
He grabbed the shotgun and charged the next pony, he pumped the shotgun loading a new round, and pulled the trigger point blank from a mare's chest, an inch-wide hole formed right through her heart. He didn't stop killing, he grabbed the guns of the downed ponies and used them against their comrades, his sword sang the song of death for many ponies. He continued to fight even when almost nopony was left, He was now levitating hundreds of weapons and his eyes still glowed with a fury unmatched, he himself was sporting many wounds even with his speed and strength he was still a pony. He still bled red blood, Ebomy was panting his body sore and tired, but he could not stop. He was now surrounded by Alicorns, his eyes reverted from their Eternal state unable to sustain themself. "I wonder how many of you I can kill, I wonder if Twilight is even inside you, Monster. I also wonder what my Ancestor saw in you Twilight, Applejack would be disappointed." He loaded his gun and inhaled, "I also know, Trixie, you were wrong, the only way to save ponies is to be a pony yourself, something you lost. You are just a monster, like all of those in this world, like a Bloadfly or Radroach, all we have to do is squash you." He grinned and his magic erupted from his Cutie Mark, his body felt stronger, "An as the Hero of the Story, The Light always squashes the Darkness, or turns it good in the end." Ebony's magic covered his body, his eyes glowed white and he shouted with all the rage he could muster. They flashed purple for a split second until morphing back into his Eternal, "Die monster!" He charged the Alicorns who were stunned by his display, his speed increased every second until the only thing heard was the repetitive sonic booms, the Alicorns could not react fast enough and each one died on the spot. Ebony stumbled after he killed them all, unable to even keep moving. He collapsed to the ground and remained stationary, his breathing was the only thing he could hear. He saw the numerous bodies of Ponies and Griffin. He killed so many but he didn't truly enjoy the slaughter, he always lied to himself, and he hated killing.
He lied to himself, his sister doesn't need him distant she needs him with her. He failed to keep his team safe. A murky green stallion with a blonde mane and tail, along with green eyes appeared in his vision. Ebony grunted and barely forced himself into a sitting position, "You." The Stallion flinched, "What side are you, Slave or Slaver?"
"S-slave..." Ebony blinked and sighed, "Why do you wanna know."
Ebony stood up and used his Water Chakra to barely wash himself off, "Well good news, I am here to rescue any Slave that deserves it." He ditched his shredded uniform and now ruined body armor. His katana leaked blood but he swiped it off, "Only problem is my team took a bad hit and I had to stay behind for a diversion."
"That was a Slaughter." The Short stallion stated
Ebony weakly smiled unable to put on a strong false face. "Yeah, I didn't enjoy it, but... to be honest I hate Slavery."
"Will you still help us?"
Ebony smirked and pulled out all the guns he had taken from the dead, "You bet, I just need to rest for a while. My Magic and energy are all depleted. " Ebony spotted the broke Pip-buck on his leg, "Maybe I could fix that..."
The remnant of Team Nova arrived back at HMS Hoofingtons Landing Craft and boarded, placed the dead Blaze Stump in a Body bag. "She was a good soldier, died fighting how she wanted to go out," Rust muttered his normally silent voice finally speaking, "Boss was right though we brought hope to the slaves, we should continue to hammer into the slavers,"
"What about the Boss?"
"He's MIA at the moment, I doubt he's dead, I mean did you see what he unleashed?"
Ripper grunted, "It was Divine, he's alive, who will be in charge of the team for now?"
Sea Green crackled through the radio, "We are moving all current forces to Fillydelphia Region, HMS Twilight and HMS Spike will be staying solo in Hoofington. This is Captain Seagreen to all channels Civilian or otherwise, We are the Peacekeeper Union and we have just declared war with Red-eye. Peace will be achieved, love will be restored and families will be reunited. Oorah!"
"It seems this will be a common occurrence, I hope the Angel Of Deaths weapons are hot." Ripper giggled, "I can't wait to hear their fearful screams."
The Radio broadcast still continued, "Captain! An SOS from Stable 2, Steel Rangers have attacked, what should we do?!"
Sea Green muttered something off the radio, "Okay checking, oh shit. Okay new orders, HMS Twilight will be dropping a Spec-ops team directly on the Stable, I want all air units to provide air support, I want all civilian life to be extracted from that stable and moved to HMS Fluttershy."
Ebony's ear twitched from the Radio broadcast, "It just started."
Murky Number Seven looked at him oddly, "What do you mean?"
"The Begenning of a new Era."
Little Pip and Velvet's eyes widened from hearing the Broadcast, "Calamity we have to go to Ponyvile! Stable 2 is under attack by Steelrangers!"
Calamity sighed but pushed himself harder by flying the Skywagon, "Got it pip, are you sure that group can be trusted?"
"My Brother leads them, he knows what to do."
"I don't know what to do." Ebony looked at Murky's broken Pip-buck, "I can't fix this, it is far too damaged."
Murky sighed, "Thank you for trying."
"No problem, though we have to figure out to save all the slaves here." Ebony placed all his weapons on the Sewer wall, "I could make turrets but I lack the supplies, and I can't really do anything with scrap metal." He haphazardly banged pieces of metal together, "I'm not sure."
Murky couldn't help but smile, Ebony acted like a child sometimes.
Ebony bonked his head against a wall repeatedly, "I wonder, I could make Pipe bombs."
"With?"
"Not a thing... Yeah, that's not happening." Ebony pouted and laid his head down, "I wish I could help them."
"Help who?"
"My group, I'm the leader and I had to leave to help you guys, they had to retreat I had to stay."
"Oh, can't you get into contact with them?"
"Yeah but, I shouldn't not until you guys can be saved. Though I can help..." He smirked.
Fireteam Alpha, Fireteam Bravo, Fire Team Beta, and Fireteam Charlie all dropped above Stable 2, 3 minutes before Pip's team arrived, they used parachutes and landed on the ground. Soon a new radio signal was heard on all frequencies, "This is General Ebony Blade of Peacekeeper, Great Times 12 Grandson of Applejack and Applesnack. I am the Desinated leader of the Steel Rangers, those who do follow this order are to be shot on sight by all Peacekeeper personnel. Surrender, and you will be treated fairly, and given rank and title befitting your status within our ranks, Applejacks Rangers. This is my only command."
The Fireteams all nodded with each other and moved forward, a yellow pegasus mare wearing Shadow bolt armor leading the charge, Her Nova rifles charged up, She found a Steelranger "Surrender!" She yelled. The Steelranger didn't listen he turned around and got one shot off with their 40mm grenade launcher, The Mare's eyes widened but she still opened for her twin Nova launchers, The Steelranger was incinerated inside the armor with minor damage to the armor, sadly the mare was also killed, the Explosion severed her head and it landed on the ground with a sick thud.
"Sergeant Lemon Lime is KIA!" Stallions shouted, "Move up!" The now 15 ponies moved inside the Stable entrance and took down any threats they came across, multiple Steelrangers dropped their weapons and gave up instantly, others refused and were gunned down, and soon they grouped with Team Pip.
"General Pip, what should we target first?"
Little Pip blinked in confusion, "General? I'm not a General."
"You are now kid, with General Ebony gone and you his Sister, and this is your home turf, you know it the best."
"O-Okay, um..." She thought about it, "The Apple Orchard is a location we should clear, it connects with the Atrium."
One of the Pegasi mares nodded, "Got it, You." She looked at Calamity, "Pegasi, you a Dashie?"
Calamity grunted, "Yep."
"Good job, at least this generation isn't all feather brains. Here take this armor." She pulled out a spare Power armor, "These are Peacekeeper, you could remove the tags if you want, remember though we would always take you, brother."
Calamity nodded, "I doubt I will join but I appreciate the armor."
The Pegasus mare nodded and looked to her ally, "Okay move out guys, we can't have any citizens hurt."
The Team nodded, and they moved forward.
The Pegasi mare eye's widened and she jumped into cover just like her friends, a barrage of minigun a rockets raced towards their location, "We found the enemy! Need Backup!"
An Earth Pony stallion pulled out his high power rifle and looked over the side of his cover, he didn't live long enough to realize his mistake. A grenade exploded feet from his face killing him instantly.
"Earthen Tree is KIA, what the hell, we are losing numbers fast!"
"Its overwhelming firepower and durability against skill and agility! We are on the loosing end, everypony put on your helmets this situation got dire."
"Remind me why we didn't have them on to start?"
"Our helmets are not fully functioning we could suffocate at the moment." The team put their Power armor helmets on and instantly realized why the helmet was missing the rebreather. "Who scrapped the helmets!"
"Command, they needed parts for the Planes and Fleet."
"So they tore out the Rebreather!?"
"Magical and electrical cables."
"Shit."
The Team jumped out of cover and opened fire with the weapons, their Power armor took the impacts and they moved forward gunning down the Steelrangers. "When we get back to base we have to get those Rebreathers back."
"We were supposed to get them back in a hour, but this came up suddenly."
"I fucking hate the timing to that, we lost two good ponies Lemon Lime and Earten tree, they were the best of their field, Lemon Lime was a medic for fuck sake."
"I know, no pony wants to loose soldiers but this situation is dire."
Little pip appeared behind one of the Steel Rangers with Lil Machintosh placed against their head, "Give up." He did not, he turned around and received a .44mag round straight into the eye his head slammed back and his body collapse to the ground. Xenith appeared behind Pip just in time to slam her hooves into a enemy steel rangers chest cracking something. The Fireteams all nodded, "General Pip assisted in take down, moving forward."
The group arrived close to the Atrium doors, they spotted a group of Scribes using plasma torches to open the door, "Get on the ground, Peacekeeper!" They did as they were told with no struggle realizing how outgunned they were, "Where is your boss!"
"Elder Blueberry Sabre and Elder Cottage Cheese have moved to the Theatre, and Nova rage is-" The scribe was shot in the skull by a plasma beam, Instantly the Fireteam reacted and jumped into cover.
"Contact, Contact!" Little pip appeared now bleeding some a small wound on her cheek, "What did you find General?"
"Its Nova Rage, what do we do, I cant get close to him."
The Pegasus mare frowned, "My wings are just a hinderance here so I will be following your command Golden Pear."
A Earth Pony stallion snorted, "My name is Pear."
"Whatever Pear, I'm following your lead."
"Right, Captain."
Pear jumped out of cover quickly followed by the Captain, their team proved covering fire. Pear and Cap hid behind a tree, "We good?"
"Rodger!"
Little Pip appear behind the Cap, "I can provide covering fire."
"You sure General, this situation is-" Beams of plasma passed by between Pip and Pear, "-Bad."
Pip scowled, "I can take care of it."
"Just like your brother you ponies always do things that you don't have to do. Go!" Pip opened fire with her Zebra rifle. Cap and Pear both moved forward with their team doing covering fire. They arrived in front of Nova Rage an tackled him to the ground, "Your underarrest, Cap use the Suit EMP!"
Cap nodded and pulled out a small device and slammed it onto the torso of the Power armor, The suit ignited with blue electricity and shut down. "Do you surrender."
"Never!"
Cap ripped the helmet off using the emergency system, she placed her Nova surge rifles to his skull, "I wonder if dying by a Nova Surge will be an Insult or compliment to you, after all your name is Nova Rage, but all I see is Nova Madness." Cap looked to Pear, "I can handle this get the team and get the Elders into Custody. General Pip where is your team?"
Pip nodded, "They are in the Theatre- Oh... Oh no..."
"Situation downgrade, go go go!"
Ebony stood next to Murky Number Seven, Brimstone Blitz, and Glimmerlight. "Okay with me you guys can easily escape, Solo, I doubt you could even attempt it. I have killed around... a hundred slavers and got their weapons and armor." He pointed at all the supplied he gathered, "Next thing we need is a good supply of Food and water, the Slavers are not going to be a good source. Luckily the forces here are now... basically none existent. How many were there Brimstone?"
"Only around 20." He grunted out.
"20, what is going on with their numbers, that's way lower than a facility of this size should have,"
"Your forces have attacked them twice, I doubt they have much more to give."
Ebony rubbed his chin, "That's a good point, maybe it time to take Fillydelphia back into a organized union."
Murky frowned, "B-but, are you sure I am suppose to escape this place?"
Ebony looked at the opened slave cuffs with a fond smirk, "Yep, I doubt slavery is what you are meant to do for the rest of your life. I think you have a better purpose ahead of you."
"We-we have to go, Protege will be mad and suspicious if we don't show up." Ebony frowned, "Bye."
Ebony nodded and looked at where they left, 'Okay, it's time to take out Stern, without Red-eyes main Slaver it may start to crumble away, if someone worse is given the title, I will make an example of them." Ebony disappeared in a white flash, he appeared above ground and instantly henged into a new pony. He was a random Griffion Guard he killed and hid the body. He walked over towards the Location where he knew Stern was, he pulled out his hand crafted Kunai, he saw her. His eyes narrowed, 'I could do this stealthy, obvious, or even loud. Stealthy would require me throws 12 Kunai each one that bounced off each other and only 3 would make contact with her body. Ovbious would be me walking up to her and either overpowering her in a struggle or just slit her throat and fly off. Loud would be me using my guns to open fire on the crowd of Slavers, and kill Stern first.'
He thought about it for a moment before he decide, 'Okay Stealthy it is, I do things loud almost all the time, time for a little skill and technique.' He pulled out multiple Kunai and threw three Kunai into the air and threw a second barrage that bounced off the first then a third. Stern never saw it coming, we she did but at the last moment. She couldn't react or scream, the first Kunai slit her throat causing her to gurgle up blood, the second impacted her right eye destroying it, and the third slammed into pelvis and cutting open her Uterus. Her eyes rolled back a second later and her body hit the ground dead. The kunai in her eye and uterus were forced deeper inside from her falling onto them, the tip of the Kunai were seen out the otherside.
The Guards all started to panic and Ebony vanished in the chaos, he arrived back at the Underground center and smirked. "Mission Successful, Fame +10, Slaver Hope -200, Slave Hope +100!" He walked over to a empty corner na dgot to work
The Fireteams all charged into the Theatre and grimaced, Velvet was shot, Steelhooves was unable to shoot and Calamity was using cover to shoot at the other Rangers. The Fireteam all charged in and opened fire on the SteelRangers, they weren't expecting it and soon found themselves overwhelmed. Pear shot through the eye pieces of the Steel Rangers killing them instantly.
Elder Blueberry Sabre was handcuffed by one of the Fireteam members, "Where is Cottage Cheese!"
"He retreated when he heard the Atrium door was under attack-"
The Fireteam member slammed Blueberry's face into the reinforced steel platform, "I want real answers not your bullshit excuse, we lost two good ponies to your group. Now start talking or i'll break more than just few bones."
Blueberry started to sweat, this earth pony had a crazed looked in his eyes, and she knew he meant every word. "Fine! He went to Stable 29 supposedly there was a Mainframe!"
"What! Command did you hear that!"
"Aye Mate sending detachment of Spec-ops to the location, Air dropped."
The Earth Pony stallion nodded, "Good, that means I can actually fulfill my promise to you, time to see how much pain it takes to hear you scream."
"Wait Wha-" Her sentence was cut off by a blood curdling scream as the skin at the end of her hooves were cut off by a ripper . The Stallion knocked her out, "All that info inside that brain of yours will be extracted, so don't fret, everything you know we will know."
"Isn't that a little brutal?" Cap asked arriving after giving Nova Surge to the Fireteam.
"Cap with all due respect you haven't seen brutal. This is standard procedure for actual enemies, infact all I have done so far are just superficial wounds, the hooves will heal in a week, and the bones in her snout will be easy to fix."
"Who are you?"
"Staff Sergeant Lunar Spectrum of Luna's Guard, I am half 'Bat pony' and Half Earth Pony, I gained the looks of a Batpony without the wings."
Cap winced, "Ouch, well where were you found?" She asked as her Team dragged off Elder Blueberry Sabre.
"Fillydelphia SSC HQ, it's sad, I was born in that town, raised in it too. Moved to Canterlot, the war started, Pointed Luna's guard after her sister was nearly killed that first time. Joined the war after Machintosh, and used my knowledge with detective work to find many criminals, I was supposed to be sent to hoofington to deal with that fake Angel of Death."
Cap giggled, "Did you ever hear what the crew of the Angel of Death said back then, it was hilarious."
Spectrum grinned, "If I remember what the Pilot said, 'That damn bitch is about to find out who the real Angel of Death is when I fire 105mm round straight up her arse and send her to the damn moon!' I believe the crew started to laugh but the Pilot was close to actually doing it, he sent in what... 30 request to be deployed in Hoofington to 'search' for the Fake Angel of Death, in reality he wanted to blow her sky high."
Cap smile grew, "Really I didn't hear that."
"I was on their base when they sent in the first request but I left around the 3rd but I got the message quick."
"So why was the pilot in charge of the Operation?"
"Because this Pilot used Autopilot and his Co-pilot to go to the Gun deck and open fire."
"That's... would get him fired."
"Yeah they threatened to remove him but on his first mission he alone descimated the enemy with those same guns, his crew were injured an the Co-pilot had to fly, he took his chance and opened fire."
"How many?"
"Three hundred."
The ponies in ear shot all widened their eyes, "Wa-wait what! Three hundred zebra dead by one pony?!"
"That's why they allowed him continue, anyway anymore hostiles?"
"Negative sir, no injured either besides our KIA and Velvet. Honestly a Medic should at least have a gun, Fluttershy had one, and she even used it once, it nearly broke her spirit."
Calamity frowned, "That's why we don't give her one-"
"Didn't they teach you Medics are the literal life of the team, if they go down you all go down. That's why Medics all have weapons, Doctors don't have weapons, they dont need them they stay away from conflict. She.... She goes into combat without armor, weapons, or even a way to stay alive. She is an easy target, and a critical target, do you not understand?"
Calamity sighed, "I get ya, but, you try. I have been trying for so long and Pip just talks to a Brick wall when she does."
"She is that dense?"
"Yep."
"Damn."
"Yep."
Little Pip walked over to her Mother and she spotted her, "Where is your brother Ebony, I'm so proud of him." Pip frowned.
"Brother is busy mother." 'Only one she is happy about is Ebony, I'm not Jealous of him, i just wished move would recognize me more. Thankfully Ebony always recognized my accomplishments.'
"He was always the better on-"
"Mother shut up." It wasn't Pip who spoke, the Clone of Ebony appeared, "You don't understand what Pip went through, I think you should be more appreciative that your daughter saved you, even after all the verbal abuse you unleashed on her. Pip the Main boss is inside Fillydelphia, he has killed stern."
"Fillydelphia! Stern! How, why, when!" The Clone vanished before she could get an answer. "Damn you Ebony, always leaving mid-question."
"General Pip we have to get you to HMS Hoofington, Its Ebony's ship but you are in command for the moment." Cap told her.
"I'm not good with strategies!"
"We need decisions, the Strategies will come from the Strat team."
"What about my friends?"
"They will be taking Stable 29, it will be part of the Applejack Rangers branch of the PU, Or Peacekeeper Union."
"What even is Peacekeeper?" Little Pip subtly hit the record device.
"Hm how to explain the Peacekeeper, we aren't afront to war, but we don't indulge in it unless against evil. We support anypony that comes to us, be it civilian or just a random military group in need of help, we do expect compensation but it doesn't not have to be cash, sometimes info will be enough. Maybe info on somepo- one who will join our group, it doesn't even have to be extremely valuable info. Life or death Situation is something we do not expect compensation for, so if a pony is dying we will heal them free of charge. To us, pony life is more important that any compensation. We fight for ponies that we protect, or any creature that wants our help, not only ponies. We support communities that do not wish to join us, but want our services, but again we expect compensation."
"What are your goals?"
"I would say world Domination but in reality, we just want to bring back an organizated government, something to defend their subjects. We want to expand and grow, helping ponies who need it. We also wish to bring all the factions under one roof, Reapers, Steel Rangers, and even the Enclave if they wish to join."
"I see, thank you for the interview!"
"Oh I knew you were recording, give that to that mare... whatever her name was."
Pip's eyes widened, "Wait wha- She vanished also! Why does everyone i know vanish Mid-conversation!
Author's Note
Akky here, sorry if the um... Grammar went downhill, it was an accident I swear. Anyway, Ooh Ebony is inside Fillydelphia, yeah that. You may wonder why I added Murky Number Seven and its cast into the story, well to be honest all the side stories are cannon in his story. In fact Original FoE is actually non-cannon, the fact is so many things are different that I have write a new story. I actually like this idea instead of having to follow guidelines for the other stories, it gives freedom to allow the story to grow easier.
Oh yeah the SSC and Stashes. The Next chapter will be all about their lore but, here are some 'spoilers' of anyone wants them, Princess Luna didn't think she could win.
The HMS Main Six and HMS Main Cities were constructs that were made to Rival HMS Luna and Celestia, Luna wanted to show that she was not the only Pony to lead Eqeuestria. She wanted to gain morale with the fact that al the Ministry mares and all the ponies inside these cities were those who helped her in the war, she could have not done it without them. The ships were all 'discontinued' but in reality were finished and stored, In fact a replacement set of Schematics of each ship was placed into a certain SSC HQ that possesed a Ship constructor. They were supposed to be Flagships but Luna denied their entrance into the fleet. Many argued that they should but Luna firmly stated they will not.
Now onto a different matter, Ebony, is Itachi but he had lost his past life memories, after gaining his status.
Hopefully this chapter will express how powerful but also how weak Ebony really is, physically he is near Deus's level, Magically he would be Near Twilight's level, and Chakra wise he would be basically an average Jonin. He is powerful but remember he lived his life without combat and is incredibly fragile, a single bullet can easily end his life.
Bye Bye!
