Bright Haze: The Mo'ka Choice

Almost two weeks had now passed since that first human had landed on Equestria then shot back up into the sky in his white craft. Equestria in general terms had never found out about the rift or the possible threat of extinction, but many military bases were on high alert, weapons and armour was created as well as certain spells that we could use in Equestria's defence. Even the idea for using the DawnTheif spell came up. But was quickly dropped as that would kill both races. We had already figured that the humans would do either two things; invite us in as allies, or come to Equestria and burn us as an enemy, naturally we all would have preferred the first one. However nothing had come from the human race on either terms. I had begun to sleep again, after the first four awake and alert. I knew everyone else hadn't slept either, Steven and Nick had come into Ponyville from the Everfree, confusing everypony as normal. Spectra had been learning how to control his demon form, Dark-Red, with the help of Star Burst who had come down from Canterlot with Celestia. I was standing outside, holding a crossbow and in armour. Myself and Spectra walked around watching the skies for any rift activity. Nothing as always.

"So. Heart Breaker is human?" Spectra asked suddenly.

"Seemingly, yes. He is a pony now so has chosen his side." I replied, telling the pony not to doubt him.

"Yes. But a side for what, this won't be a war, we all know it will be a slaughter, there are just those who will fight and those who will surrender and become slaves, or executed." Spectra grunted.

"I won't surrender. Not whilst I have something to fight for." I said. Referring to Dee and Tage. Spectra nodded in agreement when suddenly Heart Breaker appeared, followed by everypony else. Dark clouds were forming again and it would rain again. It had been going on and off for two weeks now, since the rifts opening.

"How long do you think we can hold?" Nick asked. We all knew if the humans came for war, we would all fall. One, by one.

"Five minutes. Then the humans will spread across Equestria and have the land by sundown. However if they manage to kill Celestia, by what would be nightfall. But due to them killing her, now set the planet to slowly burn constantly on daytime." Twilight replied.

"We are so screwed. I wish the rift had never opened." Star Burst shouted. There was a small burst of lightning around the rift, slowly followed by more. Everypony went silent as the rift began giving off activity. What followed would answer our question of war, or peace. Another spark shot out and then we knew. A huge, thing, came out of the rift. Heart Breaker cried out and stepped back. I was fixated on the huge object flying around in the sky, I couldn't take my eyes off whatever it was flying around, it was huge, fire was coming out of the back of the thing and from what looked to be sunlight being reflected off the surface I could only guess it was made of metal of some kind. The object was huge going miles in and direction from what I could tell.

"What is it Heart Breaker?" I suddenly asked. He mumbled something.

"I don't know. It looks to be some sort of war ship. But for space." The Alicorn human replied.

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"That if this thing has any sort of artillery, we may not even last until nightfall, let alone five minutes. The humans won't even need to bring down troopers, just bombard the landscape. But from my guesses, at the sight of Earth, they will want to colonize, rather than destroy. This is just a threat. The worse will come. I don't think we will have peace." Heart Breaker said, as he said that a small dot shot out of the ship, which was now more or less still. The small thing became bigger slowly as it came closer, more dots shot out from the ship, I counted twelve of the things, they were heading straight toward Ponyville.

"We need to get to the town!" I shouted and began to run, the ground suddenly shook, one had landed. I galloped toward town as did everypony else. More of the things hit as we ran. Slowly the ground stopped trembling.

Once we reached Ponyville we saw that all the pods had landed in a line, completely still. Ponies lined the streets. In wonder and shock. I drew my sword and held it, everypony else got weapons out as well. We stared at the things in awe, Heart Breaker seemed reluctant to get any closer than he was, spear shaking in hoof. Steam was suddenly shot out from the pods, forming a rectangle line. The shape moved down, a door seemed to be opening. I counted the pods size could probably fit about twenty ponies each, so by that math, about two hundred odd humans could have landed. The twelve doors opened and ponies stepped back. Unlike the first shuttle, these things were made in a black type metal. The doors fully opened and a tall figure stepped out, in green clothing with a hat of some sort, he had a strange weapon at his side, a small thing, but most likely very dangerous. He had hair growing from his face, so a beard in growth. His hair was short and black. He stepped forward, more humans stepped out of the pods, holding long weapons and dressed the same, with slightly different hair cuts and hair colour. I did a very quick count, there seemed to be over three hundred. Ponies stepped back in fear, but the humans raised their weapons.

"My name, is admiral John Mores. Now we have been given information that one in your number has a power unlike no other. A power which is planned to use against the worlds of humanity. Bring him forward or, we will open fire. I have the documents needed on The Defender, to prove that governments around our worlds have agreed that the pony race is, expendable. So we can and will shot you all unless you bring forward this, pony. We know you speak our language so do so now. Bring the pony forward or you all die." The first human shouted. Everypony panicked, one ran away in fear. A human raised his weapon, followed by a loud noise and the pony exploding in blood and fire. Everypony began to scream but nopony else made a move to run, some mares cried, stallions also did, or held close to other ponies.

"This city is now under control of humanity, return to your homes and expect us to search your homes. If we find any sort of weapons we will kill you. Move back to your homes you filth. We will be searching soon." John Mores then said. Some ponies did it, but others stayed. The human soldiers ignored them and dispersed themselves. I stood still, these humans had just landed and taken over. I couldn't believe that had just happened.

An hour passed and now Ponyville was in all out war, a few unicorns from Canterlot had started shooting at the humans and a few others had then joined the fight, I had heard the gunfire from my house with Dee and Tage. Everypony else was either with me or in Steven's perspective, outside. But now we were outside joined in the fight. I had managed to grab weapon up from a dead human and was now shooting toward the now burning town of Ponyville. Steven was badly wounded as was Star Burst. We kept shooting and fighting, but more and more of those damn pods kept landing. We had surprisingly lasted more than five minutes but we had a heavy death rate. I had left the house in defence leaving Dee and Tage alone. Which I regretted but if I was out here, the humans wouldn't think to go anywhere else. At least I hoped. I saw a few running toward our small group began to fire my gun, the unicorns in the group shot out with their magic. Spectra had disappeared, becoming Dark-Red and charging into the town, Rainbow had followed. We continued our rate of fire and the humans fell. Then hell came over me as I heard a squeak of a voice call out my name. I turned to see the crying face of Tage running toward me. Dee was sprinting after her, one of the humans must've seen the filly running and shot. The bullet felling the small filly and she cried in pain. I throw my gun, already crying. Dee stopped in her tracks. I ran toward my small child. The human shot again and I watched as my crying girl, turned to ash in front of me. I burst out crying, explosions sounded out and more pods landed, but I didn't care anymore. My baby was dead. A human had killed her.
