Fall of Equestria: For Honor (revamp)

I am Marshall of The Knights of The Golden Sun. Two thousand years ago, during the war against King Sombra our order was formed by Princess Celestia herself.

This is how I joined the order. I was in my newly appointed office after being promoted by my employer and while it did have a few...perks. I couldn't help but feel a bit awkward around my new secretary Raven Inkwell.

“Marshall?” Raven said. I glanced at the mare who was wearing a very revealing maid outfit. It barely covered her chest and did little to hide her buttocks and she wore a red collar. Usually, mares wearing these red collars were obedient slaves, but Raven wasn’t like that. It took some convincing, but i somehow managed to clear her mind of the mental and physical abuse these stags subjected her to before she was given to me. Now she only puts up the obedient act when in the presence of others.

“You look troubled, more so than usual,” Raven said, making me sigh heavily.

"Sorry." I said with a blush. "It's just...I can't really focus with you dressed like that."

“Much as I would love to wear decent clothing, you know that’s not possible anymore,” Raven sighed. “How long has it been since they took over?”

"A whole year..." I said while giving her the last of my paperwork.

"If the money wasn't so good I'd ditch this place."

"Oh!" Raven yelped as I pulled her into my chair.

"And I'd take you with me."

"They'd hunt us down," Raven said, wrapping her arms around my neck. "These stags don't take kindly to deserters. And...they might take me away from you..."

"Mmm they can try." I said with a confident grin as we began to kiss but before we could go any further, the fortress suddenly shook after we heard a loud explosion followed by the sound of war trumpets.

"What in tartarus?!?"

Dashing over to the window Marshal was greeted by the earth shattering sound of war cries as the fortress walls were bombarded by a series of burning projectiles fired from catapults and as Marshal's eyes scanned the attacking force he spied banners decrypting a golden sun cresting over a lush green horizon.

"Raven lock this door and don't open it no matter what!" He said while scrambling for his sword as one of his men came rushing down the hall.

"Sir we're under attack!"

"How many!?"

"A thousand troops, maybe more."

"And Blueblood?"

"Locked in his chambers sir."

"Of course he is. To the battlements! NOW!!"

Marshal moved to the battlements with the rest of the soldiers and saw ladders being hoisted into position so that the enemy forces could climb the battlements.

"Keep them off the walls!"

"Yes sir!"

"Archers to the towers now!"

Marshall's men scrambled to their positions before Blueblood finally marched out in gawdy armor, trying to look like a battle hardened general before flinching at the sight of a trebuchet hitting the wall next to him.

"Prince Blueblood, you should get back inside." Marshall instructed as a stray arrow from the enemy whizzed passed his helmet.

"I will not cower while the enemy attacks our very doorstep!" Blueblood argued before he heard a familiar voice.

"Blueblood! Come out!"

The prince went pale for a second as he climbed up the wall to see none other than Shining Armor leading the assault.

"It doesn't have to be like this." The crystal prince said with his halberd resting on his shoulders.

"KEEP THEM OUT AT ALL COST!!" Blueblood screamed before running to hide in the nearest tower.

"I don't get paid enough for this crap." Marshall said before seeing a knight give Shining Armor his helmet.

"My lord?" The soldier inquired as Shining readied his weapon and sighed.

"Break it down..."

"BREAK IT DOWN!!"

Suddenly a volley of arrows decended on the walls forcing Marshall and the forces to get behind cover while the troops outside moved their ladders in place before Marshall noticed enemy soldiers overwhelming troops on the western wall.

To make matters worse, Shining Armor had brought a battering ram to smash down the forts main gate and with each passing second it drew closer.

"Dammit, hold them as long as you can." He ordered his men before rushing to the eastern wall to provide support, however it wasn't long before the resounding thump of the ram could be heard beating against the doors.

As the fighting raged on, the catapult nest on the northern tower had been taken out along with the archers providing support as Shining Armors men climbed over and began picking off the defenders with their archers.

"FIND COVER!!" Marshall shouted as the arrows fell on them like rain.

"Move men! move!!"

"Someone get after those archers!!" Blueblood whined while hiding behind the door to the keep.

With his quick thinking, Marshall maneuvered around the enemy using the forts interior and was able to sneak up on the archers.

"The catapults still ready to fire." he said before taking a few breaths and rushed out to cut the rope and send the enemy flying off the walls.

"THE GATE'S COMING DOWN!!" One soldier shouted just as the ram prepared to deliver its final strike.

"Form a wall! now!!" Marshall ordered before feeling the impact of the ram smash open the gates.

"THROUGH THE BREACH!!" Shining cheered as his men swarmed in and a ferocious battle erupted in the courtyard but despite being vastly outnumbered, Marshall's men held their own and made them fight for every inch of ground until only a handful were left.

Soon Shining Armor himself came onto the scene and saw the massacre before dispatching three soldiers trying to ambush him.

"STOP!!" He shouted just as his men were about to move in for the kill.

"Blueblood!? BLUEBLOOD! Show yourself!"

Blueblood then stormed out of the keep to meet with him face to face, trying to look confident but all his men could see him shaking in his boots.

"These warriors don't have to die. Trial by combat! Right now!"

"What?!? fight you? That's not a trial, that's an execution!" Blueblood shot back before Shining ordered one of his knights to step forward.

"Then fight my second..."

Blueblood bit his thumb before quickly turning to Marshall.

"YOU! You will be my second!"

"...Alright." Marshall reluctantly agreed knowing they would've been slaughtered if he had refused.

As Marshall stepped forward he took note that his opponent was A Warden like himself before the two squared off against each other.

As the match began Shining Armour's second struck first with an overhead strike with great speed to which Marshall narrowly blocked.

"He's good..." Marshall said under his breath as he staggered back before countering with a shoulder charge and kicked his opponent into the mud as he tried to finish the duel quickly but the opposing Warden was quick to get up and return to the fight.

The knights fought on equal footing with neither side giving ground until Marshall was cut on his left arm and staggered back once more.

"Dammit! If you lose this fight I'll feed your mare to the beasts!!" Blueblood threatened while the warden bled out.

Exhausted and running out of breath, Marshall threw off his helmet and prepared to fight once more when he noticed Raven looking at him from the window of his office.

"Raven..." He spoke softly before returning his attention to his opponent.

"Now we end this..." The other warden said before charging in to finish him off.

The knight clashed with Marshall and the two held up against one another. They pushed with all their might as to try and break their momentum, but Shining could tell something was off. Unlike the rest of the stags and traitors he faced and slew, Marshall seemed to be fighting for a different reason.

“Why do you fight, warden?” Shining asked out of the blue. “You don’t seem like the kind of stallion who’d be okay with all this!”

Marshall would say nothing as it became harder to focus on the duel with Raven watching from afar.

"Where is your honor? What has become of your oaths?!"

"ENOUGH!!" Marshall roared before he managed to finally push his opponent back and cleaved his head off with one swing, winning himself the duel but his men were still at their mercy.

As Shining marched up to Blueblood to take his sword, the coward prince leaned in to whisper.

"It will not do for a knight of The Golden Sun to be defeated by a common mercenary..."

Shining glared at his rival before wrenching the blade from his hands and marched up to the injured warden.

"Kneel." He commanded as Marshall obeyed without hesitation while Raven rushed out the door, fearing he may be executed. In a shocking twist, Shining Armor tapped the blades on his shoulders for all to see.

"For valor in battle, for honor in service, I Shining Armor raise you. Stand brother and Knight of The Golden Sun."

"W-what is the meaning of this?!?" Blueblood shouted when Shining tossed him Marshall's broken blade at his feet and gave the warden his sword as a gift.

"We're finished here but we are taking every female you have enslaved be thankful we do not take your lives." Shining Armor decreed.

"Marshall!" Raven cheered as she ran into his arms and kissed him while he threw off her collar, much to everyone's surprise.

Without a second thought, Marshall and his men left leaving Blueblood completely dumbfounded as he watched them leave with their slaves and what loot they could carry.

As a final insult, Raven turned around, lifted her dress to reveal her pussy, and gave everyone they were leaving the bird.

End.
