Shot after shot echoed across the wide field. The mini guerrilla of the 10 rescued ponies, the 6 mares and the young dragon, making a total force of 17 shots per round, almost in sync. One after the other.

The pegasus fell one by one to the ground to their death, or that would be the case if Dawn had not conjured a giant "magic mattress" that covered the entire area surrounding the pegasus outpost.

To be specific, it was conjured a couple of meters below where they were. This spell clearly took time, however thanks to the coordinated work of the surprise attack it gave her the necessary time to conjure it.

Each shot that resounded and caused casualty after casualty of the advancing pegasus fleet, was imparted by the powerful new assault rifle with 5-12 x42 telescopic sights courtesy of abundance, all to make sure they could shoot mainly in parts of the body that would incapacitate them but NOT kill.

In just a moment, 70 pegasus were already in the net. The remaining 30 or so, once they got over the initial shock, identified their enemy, on a hill about 1 kilometer away.

Without a second thought, with a small group of nimbus cumulus behind them, they set course and with their strong wings propelled themselves towards their target at high speed, propelled by their control over the wind thanks to their elemental magic.

"Fuck!" exclaimed Dawn in frustration, as this outcome although expected was frustrating to her. Dawn couldn't focus her magic on anything else, otherwise risking failing her spell and condemning the incapacitated pegasus to their death, and there were too many possible lives they could save to risk failure.

"Well, there's no other way, plan B lethal force authorized!" exclaimed stella and crown at the same time.

"Unicorn unit, get angry on defense!" shouted crown, referring to the remaining Unicorns in the battalion and the only other unoccupied unicorn being Abby.

"Pegasus unit, focus on distraction maneuvers, Whis you focus on any collateral damage!" shouted stella at the same time.

"and... Ground unit, fire at will!" was the last shout, this time simultaneously from the dragon and the mare.

A determined "YES, SIR!" was their response.

The unicorns, including rarity conjured a shield with all their remaining stregnth. This shield "1 way" in nature and short in distance to maximize the durability against external attacks. That is to say, being "1 way" ment inside to out had free passage but that which wished to enter would meet resistance.

The pegasus on the borders of the shield now placed in each cardinal direction of the shield (North, East, West and South) used their powerful wings and with their wind elemental magic raised a great cloud of earthnow turned dust that they kept rotating around the shield totally blocking the vision from the outside to the inside. This for 2 reasons.

The first is was in order for the pegasus outside to not know the movements of the ponies and dragons inside, being incapable of seeing their weapons or where they were aiming, making their evasive tactics more difficult.

Secondly, this was useful because by blocking the enemy's vision they would not see any cracks or possible entrances in case the shield if compromised, making it harder for them to see acces points.

This tactic would prove useful since the enemy pegasus apparently brought with their wind magic at high speed a part of the immense hail fragments that once they managed to shorten the distance enough they launched without abandon, crashing against the shield at speeds of up to 100 kilometers per fracturing multiple points of it.

Without wasting time, the ground pegasus and the dragon used their ballistic weapons to continue reducing the enemy numbers. This time however without wasting time trying to focus on non-vital points.

This strategy paid off because before the enemy made direct contact, in one moment 6 of their forces fell, leaving only 24.

In another moment 10 pegasus flying at a higher speed than their equals, in this case at speeds of 120 kilometers per hour (thanks to their ability to fly, added to their plummeting fall with gravity in their favor and their wind magic propelling them) crashed into the shield, like a kamikaze plane breaking it in its entirety and as expected knocking the exhausted conjuring unicorns to the ground, with physical and mental damage caused by the breakage of their shield combined with all their forces.

This however, not for free. As you can imagine a pony's body, no matter how strong it may be, would not come out unscathed from such an impact against a solid surface combining that speed with all its body weight.

Th shield was then broken in a crimson shower from the fallen possessed soldiers. Now with the perfect distraction, 4 of the remaining 14 in the sky slowed down enough to tackle their opponents at the cardinal points but without taking serious damage themselves.

In a moment, 4 enemy pegasus knocked 4 of the non posessed pegasi, 1 of them being Stella against the ground with force causing crimson stains to sprout on the ground and a thunderous "aaahhg!" from the ponies being heard.

"NO!" shouted the rest of the standing forces, with the exception of crown who flinched but kept shooting while the pegasus on the ground who fought bare fist fighting or using smal blades, one pegasus being the exception, as was the case of Stella who used her electrified fists caused significant damage to her opponent being the first to get up.

"DON'T DISTRACT, FOCUS ON-!" but she was interrupted when the pegasus she thought she knocked out embedded a small dagger in her leg. "AAHHH!" falling back to the ground in pain, returning to the grapple but this time the other combatant could barely defend himself as Stella's heavy blows coupled with near lethal electric voltages had him in a vulnerable state, that thrust to the leg being part of his last bit of strength, though it didn't change the fact that she was currently on the ground in pain.

Gritting his teeth hard containing his emotions, and ignoring his still bleedin nose without hesitation took a drake python (this universes colt pythong) and shot straight into the pegasus skull blowing his brains into the air.

Inhaling hard for a moment, Crown let out a roar that could be categorized as deafening, broke the chaos of the battle and for a moment distracted the enemy.

"DO NOT DISTRACT, FIRE THE PEGASUSES UP, NOW!" Crown exclaimed, understanding Stella's incomplete message. They would have to deal with their pegasus counterparts on the ground, but the biggest risk was the pegasus in the sky, of which there were still 10 left.

And with good reason these 10, BEFORE the moment of distractionthanks to Crown's shout, tried to use the remaining ice that was floating in their wind, gathering it into sharp blades that if not dodged or stopped in any way would mean massive damage to most of those present.

Instantly regaining focus, the ground forces using the dragunova and the dragon now using his Drake python, the latter for close range, fired at the pegasus in the sky, taking advantage of the moment and managing to eliminate 6 of their members leaving only 4 remaining.

The 4 possessed pegasus, once their military strategy was broken, opted for a simple melee attack with combat blades, 3 of them focusing on the ground pony unit which fell to the ground immediately as they could not shoot accurately at short distances suffering one or 2 stab wounds before falling to the ground where, just like their unpossessed pegasus companions, they would engage in a fight on the ground.

The last remaining one seeing that the pegasus and earth ponies with the exception of amber were immobilized on the ground in a second propelled his body with speed in free fall towards whis, who he observed attending to the bleeding form of her adopted sister assuming correctly that she was the team medic, looking to decimate the enemy forces. his however was a grave error since as mentioned before Crown was close to Stella and therefore now also close to Serene, blocking the attack with his own body pushing both mares aside.

"Splurt" a liquid and viscous sound was produced as the two bodies collided. Crown's otherwise almost impenetrable scale armor was penetrated in his right arm, this as the previous damage not yet healed by the infernal hail combined with the resent lunge with a bullet speed damascus steel blade with a body weight of an adult pony behind it managed for a moment to penetrate his body but not that deep.

The guilty pony with a malicious grin tried to withdraw the blade to continue his attack but was unable to pull it out of the insertion site thanks possibly to Crown in a moment of rage hardening his muscles preparing to tear this pegasus apart, squeezing like a boa constrictor the dagger in his arm.

Then, as if in slow motion, the dragon's right arm wrapped like a boa constrictor around the neck of the attacking pegasus while slowly its inner claws turned outward, penetrating the neck of the now immobile and paralyzed pegasus with force and edge until it practically shredded its throat and left the pony bleeding uncontrollably from its neck on the ground in agony.

Picking up his gun from the ground, the dragon placed the barrel on the terrified face of the possessed pony who watched as a last memory the face of a dragon, with emerald green eyes glowing in the apparent darkness in a scowl that denoted pure rage, with a closed mouth with sharp teeth sights while from its bloody nose smoke was coming out. A dream scene that could only bring one thing to his mind: "Death" and as such it came for not a second later a cannon sounded.

"BAAM!"
