Fall of Equestria: For Honor (revamp)

The sun rose the next morning and as Lightning awoke she found herself still under the weight of her stallion and decided to give him a morning kiss ignoring the sound of the troops doing their morning drills.

"Mmm wake up stud~." She purred, rousing him from his sleep.

"Morning my sweet." Marshall replied and returned the kiss as she reached down for his crotch.

"How's about a quickie before breakfast~?"

“You’re insatiable, you know that?” Marshall chuckled.

Lighting smirked as he stood up on his knees and she went to suck him off. Once she was on her knees, Marshall did not hesitate in shoving her down all the way to the base making her give a loud gulp as she repositioned herself and serviced her lover with her hands gliding all over his abs.

"Gods I love you..." Marshall huffed while gently holding her head in place when a knock came at the door.

"Apologies lord, you are needed at the war council."

"Be there soon!" Marshall shouted through the door when Lightning released his shaft with a pop.

"Not if I can help it~." She grinned before shoving him back onto the bed.

An hour later, Marshall was dressed and entered the war tent, where he found that he was the center of attention. "What?" He asked after seeing Arminius and Wulfric grin at him.

"I can see you were busy this morning." Wulfric smirked just as Arminius gave Marshall a hard pat on the back.

"So she finish you or bring you back to life?" Arminius joked while bringing him over to the war table.

"A bit of both really..." Marshall sounded exhausted as he slumped into his chair and felt a few joints in his spine pop.

"So where do we stand in our campaign?"

"Well luck seems to be on our side. According our scouts reports, the other fort has been all but abandoned, the lord who once occupied it has fled with all his wealth leaving only his slaves and servants behind." Shining Armor said before moving pointing to another location on the map.

"There's more, the next stronghold is a prison and it seems to be heavily guarded. You all know what that means."

"They're protecting something." Marshall said with a bit of intrigue.

"Or someone." Twilight added as a thought crept in the back of her mind.

"The question is who, and whether it's a prisoner or a key player in Dainn's forces," Arminius said while looking at the fort.

"The defenses are mainly on the inside, so it looks like the former is more likely."

"Whoever is in there, I say we bust em out."

"We really risking our lives for one prisoner?" Pharynx objected as Ryu shot him a glare.

"There could be others in there, nobles who are kept as hostages for leverage." Shining said in argument of his objection.

"If the Stonehoofs and traitors are holding someone, it could mean the difference between victory and defeat on our part," Arminius added.

"There any way in?" Ryu asked after overlooking the forts defenses.

"From what we gathered, there's at least two walls. The outer wall is fortified with archer towers on four corners while the inner wall has scorpios, our best bet is a small culvert here on the forts western wall."

"We lay siege to the fortress while another team slips in and locates the prisoner. I will lead the infiltration personally."

"Leave the siege to me." Marshall grinned.

"Mind you gentlemen we have to do this right, one mistep will cost us valuable resources and troops." Thorax cautioned while taking notes on their supplies.

"One shot is all we need."

"We launch the attack at dawn, I'll assemble my officers."

"Present!" Lightning Dust chimed in as she strutted into the tent to give her stallion a kiss.

"I...may have forgotten to mention the OTHER reason I'm here." She sheepishly smiled while handing him some papers baring the royal seal.

"Hmm by order of her majesty Princess Cadence, Lightning Dust is here by given the rank of Lieutenant and is placed under the command of Sir Marshall by Princess Mi Amore Cadenza." Marshall blinked in astonishment before reading the rest.

"PS: Shining, come home soon we miss you."

"Alright, we got ourselves a new lieutenant," Arminius nodded before turning to Lightning. "Congratulations, by the way."

"Get rest gentlemen and I do mean rest." Shining Armor said while looking at Wulfric and Arminius.

"We'll all need to be at our best if we're to pull this off." Double Edge added as they departed the war tent to prepare.

"What do we look like? Horny teens?" Arminius whispered over to Wulfric.

"They do have a point though," Wulfric said as Applejack came and took him away to their tent.

While the others prepared for the attack, Twilight stood just outside the camp and looked towards the ominous structure in the distance as the sun began to set.

"I wonder if..." she paused her train of thought not wanting to get her hopes up and returned to camp for some rest.

On her way back she felt an emptiness in her chest that seemed to grow even bigger when she saw Marshall and Lightning Dust embracing one another before seeing Double Edge with Cherry cozying up by the fire. A single tear fell from her face when she felt the air grow colder and turned to see Wulfric was able to chill the air around him thanks to months of extensive training under Twilight and Ryu's teachings.

"Something you want to get off your chest?" He asked while fiddling with the snowflakes now dancing in his palm.

"....before the war, I fell in love." She admitted.

"Odins beard. Who's the lucky stallion?"

"His name was Flash Sentry...the last time we saw each other...was when Canterlot fell." Twilight sighed as the memory of that horrible day came back to her.

"He stayed behind to protect me and I couldn't do anything to help...ever since that day, all I can think about is him. I don't know if he's turned against us or if he's even alive I just feel...helpless."

"There's no reason to feel that way. You're doing him proud by helping lead the resistance. And I bet my left testicle that he's still alive, and waiting for you," Arminius told Twilight, hoping it would help.

"Uhh thanks I guess?" She said with a bit of a cringe as Wulfric dispersed the small blizzard around him.

"Well it's going to be a long day tomorrow, let's get some rest."

Twilight bid her friends goodnight and returned to her tent. Once dressed in her evening gown, she looked at a photo on the nightstand next to her and sighed, it was a picture of her and Flash on their first date.

That memory filled her with such happiness but at the same time sorrow, a year had gone by and she had no clue where he was.

"Flash if you can hear me...I miss you and...I really need you." She said with a tear in her eye as she held the photo, imagining that her stallion was next to her and holding her in his arms.

Morning

As the sun rose, the warborn were beginning their pre-battle ritual by decorating themselves with ceremonial war paint as their elders began chanting a prayer in their native tongue all while being watched by their allies.

"That's uh...kinda spooky." One of the knights said as he noticed their stone-faced expressions while being painted on.

"Our battle preparations are different." A samurai said while sharpening his blade.

"We only say a short prayer to the gods and our ancestors with an offering placed in front of a shrine before departing for battle. In fact, general Ryu should almost be done with his ritual."

Like the Samurai said Ryu was off on his knees with his hands clasped together, his sword laid in front of him as he held a necklace of beads in his hands. In front of him was a small shrine that was left to nature as vines had grown around it, yet still stood strong, becoming one with the land. At the shrine there was a rice ball, a bottle of sake, and a hatchet that was taken from an enemy commander Ryu had slain

"May you continue to watch over me and my men as we venture on to another battle. I promise to deliver as many heads to you as an offering." Ryu said, bowing down in front of the shrine. After ten minutes Ryu slowly rose back to his feet and picked up his katana, walking back to his men.

"Are we ready gentlemen?" Shining Armor asked as the leaders gathered.

"Then let's be about this. Marshall, our troops are in your hands. Lead them well."

"As you command sire." Marshall said as he mounted his beast and gave the signal to move out.

"Wulfric, have you chosen your squad?" Arminius asked while preparing to join the front lines.

"I have. Shining Armor and Twilight will assist me along with Double Edge. Once we're inside we'll break out any prisoners we find." Wulfric replied as he gripped his axe.

"The Allfather has favored us, let us honor him with righteous battle."

"I'll keep count then," Arminius boasted as he flipped his bear skin cap on.

Siege Lines

The knights wasted no time in assaulting the walls and main gate of the stronghold as they bombarded the enemy with trebuchets and stormed the walls with siege ladders and grappling hooks yet despite their best efforts the enemy was doing well in keeping them at bay.

"They're good..." Marshall said as he watched more of his men fall of the walls while others desperately tried to hold what positions they were able to secure.

"What's the status on those petard charges?" he asked after watching another ladder get knocked down.

"Slow going my lord, that bomb is heavy." One of his lieutenants said as the men prepared a large wagon carrying an explosive device..

While the battle raged on at the front, Wulfric and his squad made their way to the western wall and found the culvert Shining's men discovered.

"So now what?" The crystal prince asked when Wulfric handed him his weapons.

"Stand back." Wulfric said before taking a deep breath and placed his hands on the bars and slowly began covering them in ice.

"I get it, you're freezing the bars so they can break off!" Twilight said in astonishment.

After a few minutes, the bars broke off and were quietly set aside as they snuck in to see that most of the enemy was occupied with the siege making it easier for them to sneak into the strongholds interior.

"This place is huge, how do we know where to look?" Double Edge asked when they heard a scream coming from below.

"Follow the screams." Shining Armor said as they hurried through the halls and dodged any patrols they came across until finally reaching the dungeons.

"This is it." Wulfric said as he peeked around the corner to see one lone guard sleeping by the prisons main entrance and thanks to Twilights magic, they were able to carefully pluck the keys off his body and snuck into the holding cells where many prisoners were kept. Some Twilight knew from Canterlot and Ponyville, others were of the noble class in Canterlot.

"Oh my gosh..." She gasped in shock as she saw how badly hurt and malnourished the prisoners were.

"Start unlocking the cages, I'll check the back." Shining Armor said as he marched past the cells when one of the mares grabbed him.

"Please, help us!" She begged as the prince gently took her hand.

"We'll get you out I promise." Shining smiled before he heard a scream.

"Who is that?"

"A soldier who helped one of the princesses escape. They torture him every day but he refuses to talk. I don't know how much longer he'll last though since Prince Vortigern's here."

"Vortigern? he's here?" Wulfric asked and looked the prisoner in the eye to make sure she was telling the truth.

"Yes, him and his elite guard."

"This just complicated things. Twilight, ready a portal to get these prisoners out of here but be quick." Shining instructed his sister.

"Double Edge, Wulfric, you're with me."

Double and Wulfric nodded and followed Shining. Twilight used her magic and conjured a portal for the salves to go through and escape.

“Shot in the dark, but what’re the chances this mystery prisoner is Flash?” Double asked.

"if it is then we need to hurry." Shining said as they rushed down the stairs to hear more screaming.

"We better move fast, if Vortigern's anything like his father he'll kill him slowly!"

“You’d better stay alive, brat!” Shining said. “You’re the only stallion I acknowledge to be my new brother-in-law!”

The three men rushed down the steps until finally reaching a large rotunda underneath the fortress and before them a large iron door where they heard another scream.

"Shining!" Twilight called out as they turned to see her flying down the steps.

"Twilight what're you doing?!?"

"I heard what you were all talking about, If Flash is here then I have to know!" Twilight said to her brother before the door slowly opened.

"How sweet, a princess coming to rescue the man she loves. It's like a fairy tale told in reverse." A voice called out as a young stag with grey and white fur stepped out followed by several armed guards whom Shining Armor recognized as his old squadmates from the guard.

"Vortigern..." Wulfric hissed while gripping his axe.

"Pleasure to see you again lord Wulfric and with my bride to be nonetheless." Vortigern winked at Twilight who just glared at him with disgust.

"And Shining Armor I trust you recognize your old friends?"

“You lot…” Shining sneered at his former comrades. “You dare show your faces before me?! You bring shame to your fathers who were once proud knights of Equestria! If they saw you now, they would spit in your faces!”

"Sorry shining...but chivalry just doesn't cut it these days." One of them said as they entered a standoff and slowly took their positions.

Shining Armor noticed that none of them were moving away from the door as they drew their weapons and as he readied himself he asked.

"Who's locked in this place?"

"...I'm sorry my prince but this is where the rebellion ends." One of them replied as they reached for their swords.

"No...it's where the end of your empire begins." Double Edge replied and swiftly drew his swords before they began exchanging blows.

Enraged by the thought of her beloved imprisoned by this monster, Twilight launched a magic bolt at Vortigern in an attempt to end the vile princes life but to her surprise he blocked it with a spell of his own. He could use magic!

"How?" She asked aloud, completely dumbfounded.

"Amazing what you can find in a library these days." Vortigern replied before his antlers suddenly lit up and he shot at her with a spell of his own.

“Twilight!” Double yelled as he clashed with a stallion and Vortigern fired his own beam of magic.

Twilight quickly conjured a shield spell and it bounced off. The force of the blast made Twilight’s head hurt and there was a crack in her shield. Vortigern grinned and fired another beam as he began walking towards Twilight.

“Stay away from her!” Shining barked but was blocked by the traitor stallions.

“It was foolish of you to come here, Princess,” Vortigern said as he fired another beam. “You didn’t know this but I was originally supposed to be your new master in the beginning of the fall.”

"I would never marry someone disgusting as you!!" Twilight snapped back before blasting him with a beam of her own.

"You and your father destroyed everything I ever cared about!! Ruined my life-The lives of my friends! my family!!"

“Oh look, men, the pet is talking back to her master!” Vortigern mocked as he walked closer. “Marriage? What are you, a foal? In this world, there is only worthless, cock-hungry slaves like you, and the true masters of the world, like us the Stonehoofs.”

"ENOUGH!!" Wulfric bellowed as a wall of ice suddenly sprang up and sent Vortigern crashing into the wall.

"For the crimes you committed against these people and our own..." His voice shook with anger and as Vortigern began to look up he suddenly noticed Wulfrics eyes glowing with mystical power as he seethed with a rage that made him look monstrous.

"I WILL SEND BOTH YOU AND YOUR FATHERS SOULS TO THE SHORES OF HELHEIM MYSELF!!"

In a burst of rage, he began hacking apart the guards furiously allowing Double Edge and Shining Armor to assist Twilight in cornering the prince.

"Much as I would like to kill you, you'll make a valuable hostage." Shining said with the tip of his halberd pointed at him.

“Hostage?! How dare you, filthy rebel?!” Vortigern barked harshly as his horns glowed bright. “I will not submit like some commoner! I will-!”

SLASH!

In flash of speed, Double Edge swung his swords and managed to cut off both Vortigern’s antlers.

"Huh......HHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!" The prince let out such a horrendous yell that Twilight was forced to cover her ears.

"What have you done?!? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!? My antlers! MY PRECIOUS ANTLERS!!"

"Thought you could use a trim." Double Edge smirked just as Wulfric finished off the last of the guards.

"It's over Vortigern! you've lost."

"No...no this is just the beginning! Mark my words, when my father sees what you've done to me he will rain hell down upon all of you!! THIS DISHONOR WILL NEVER BE FORGIVEN!!"

Before they could stop him, Vortigern pulled on the chain next to him activating a trap door that he jumped through all while glaring at them with murderous intent.

"And so the snake slips away..." Wulfric said as if expecting this before grabbing the antlers.

"At least we get a trophy. Now let's see who's through that door."

Using her magic, Twilight pulled the heavy door opened as it creaked and groaned to reveal a torture chamber filled with all sorts of sadistic tools.

"Damn...I knew the stonehooves were brutal but this..." Double Edge said before hearing a feint groan.

"Who...who's there?" A dry voice called out from the end of the room.

"If you're going to kill me then get it over with...."

"That voice..." Twilight gasped as she rushed over.

Hanging from the wall, everyone gasped at the sight of a beaten and battered stallion. Cut wounds, bruises, clipped wings, and both eyes blackened but they could all recognize the poor prisoner that was none other than Flash Sentry. Twilight’s heart broke into pieces when she saw Flash’s condition. The young, strapping stallion she had a crush on that soon bore into actual love now rendered into a beaten and bloody pulp.

“FLASH!!” Twilight screamed and ran over to him. “Flash! It’s me! It’s Twilight! Speak to me!”

With what strength he could muster, Flash lifted his head and stared into the eyes of his princess. Even in his weakened state, his heart began to race with joy upon seeing her.

"Twi...light..." he sighed as she smiled and held his head up gently.

"Yes Flash. I'm here." She sobbed happily as Wulfric and Shining cut the shackles holding his arms up.

"Let's get him some help." Shining said before hearing the sound of multiple footsteps rushing downstairs.

"Fuck! Get ready for a fight!"

"Sire? Princess? anyone here?" Marshall called out much to their relief.

“We’re down here!” Double called out. “If there’s a med team with you, get over here! We got a soldier in critical condition!”

"You heard the man! MOVE!!" Marshall barked at two medics and made way for them just as they neared the chamber.

"Sweet Celestia is that?" The medic said after seeing Flash.

"Get a stretcher!" The other called out as they gently laid him down.

"You're gonna be alright son."

"The fort's ours, the rest of the enemy surrendered." Marshall said with a salute to his prince.

Shining nodded and followed Flash while he was being carried away.

“You still breathing, little brother?” Shining asked his former protege.

Flash could only give a weak smile as he was carried away and above he began to hear the cheering of the troops, not only did they score another major victory but they sent the son of the tyrant scurrying back to his father in disgrace.

"...Double Edge."

"Sire."

"Tell the mages to open a portal back to the empire. I think it's time we went home."

SMACK!!

Vortigern stumbled back and fell in his haunches after being viciously backhanded. Blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth as he stared up at his father in shock and fear. Meanwhile, Dainn glared down at his son with disgust and disappointment.

“F-Father?! Why?!” Vortigern asked.

"You had the princess in the palm of your hand! Not only did you let her escape-BUT YOU ALLOWED THE ENEMY TO FREE EVERY LAST HOSTAGE WE HAD AGAINST THE NOBLE HOUSES!!" Dainn roared with fury at his son.

"Not only that but you allowed a rebel to do THIS to you!!" He pointed at the stubs that were his antlers.

"Father please if you'll just-!"

"SILENCE BOY!! You have disgraced me enough for one day. Get out of my sight!!" Dainn then pointed to the doors leading out of the throne room and reluctantly his son left in disgrace.

"It seems I've underestimated these rebels long enough. Olaf!!" He called for his top general who had been standing in the corner of the room through the whole exchange.

"My king."

"Tell me, do you still wish to crush these rebels?"

“With every fiber of my being, your majesty,” Olaf bowed.

“Then I hereby appoint you in command of my armies,” Dainn said. “And you have the authority to do whatever is necessary to crush them!”

Olaf bowed and left while Dainn left to the medical wing of the castle. The staff all bowed in his presence and the mares turned around to show off their flanks. Before he stepped inside the medical wing, he grabbed a random mare with him as he opened the doors.

“Get on your knees and suck me off as I conduct business with the doctors, slut,” Dainn commanded.

The mare happily obliged as he sat down and unzipped his pants as one of his doctors came over with a clipboard and seemed to be taking notes.

"You called sire?"

“I want to know the test results,” Dainn ordered as the mare licked his hardening shaft and fondled his balls. “Is Sun Slut pregnant with my heir yet?”

"I'm afraid not sire." The doctor said as the king forced the mare to choke on his cock in frustration.

"What is she barren?!? How is it that bitch has not had at least ONE child in her lifetime?!?"

"MMMMM!!" The mare gripped the armrests of the chair before being let back up to breathe.

"I've even had my guards fuck her just to see if it would take but none of them knocked her up either!"

“As you’ve ordered, we have tried every possible concoction of potions and elixirs to maximize pregnancy rates,” the doctor said as the mare sucked on his balls. “But none of which have proven effective.”

“So she really is barren…” Dainn grumbled.

“Not exactly, sire,” the doctor said. “We’ve run several checkups on her, and her womb and eggs are both completely in tact. It’s as if any sperm cell that attempts to make contact and implant itself somehow is killed off immediately.”

"Grr what the hell is going on?"

End.
