Ponies were running around everywhere, the whole city was in chaos. The walls and streets were covered in soldiers and gunfire and fighting could be hear for miles. Earlier that day a huge force of these, demons, had appeared from the Everfree and had begun to attack the city. Thankfully they were fairly weak, from what had been previously seen and would fall rather quickly to spell or gun. But mage unicorns were becoming spent and the horde of black and red just kept coming. Celestia, Luna and that orange pony Slayer stood watching as the demons began to swarm around the walls. They wouldn't hold much longer and needed a miracle to break this siege. Slayer gulped down a breath and tightened his grip on his hammer and walked forward. Luna looked to Celestia who nodded. Then the two princesses began to move forward behind Slayer. The gates were weakening and ponies stood ready for a fight. Crossbow ponies stood ready, guarded by fresh mages and gun holders. The three ponies walked through the army of Equestria, who paused and then nodded to each other. They began to form ranks behind the pony and the princesses. Gunfire still rang out as more and more ponies lined up.
"aptain. A spear if you will be so kind." Celestia muttered to a pony. He nodded and handed the god princess a spear. The princess nodded. Luna also looked to the pony and with her blue magic lifted up a spear and held it with magic. The gates were banging more loudly. The ponies holding the gates looked to the two princesses and quickly galloped back to the force behind them. The gate banged once more before bursting open and sending pieces of wood and metal everywhere. Slayer stopped, as did everypony else. Smoke was forming over the gate way and guns aimed downwards ready.
"Shall we sister?" Luna asked, staring straight ahead.
"After you." Celestia replied. Slayer smiled and lifted his hammer in one hoof, he charged forward. So did everypony else, screaming out a war cry or something that the soldiers conjured up. The smoke began to clear and the Demon forces began to charge as well. Screeching out horrible cries that would send shivers down a pony. The black beams of the guns fired tearing into a few of the demon numbers, the Decay quickly disintegrated many of the number but still they charged. Slayer looked to his sides, seeing the two spears of the princesses leaning down.
"For Equestria." Slayer muttered before swinging his hammer upwards onto a black disfigured demon. The two forces collided and all chaos broke out. Slayer, Luna and Celestia cut their way through the forces of the demons and created a three pony circle. Slayer swung out his hammer wildly, bashing away the demons as the liquid of their blood spilled everywhere. A huge fireball shot over the ponies heads and crashed into some more of the demon forces. Fire began to consume them and they died burning, acid blood spilling everywhere. They didn't even scream.
"Haven't been in a fight like this in centuries. Before Nightmare Moon." Luna shouted to Celestia.
"Probably before Mother left." Celestia muttered.
"Yes. Queen Faust left. I remember. We fought together in the War of the first Changelings." Luna replied smiling.
"I have been in wars before you were born sister." Celestia said. Looking at the fight and hearing the explosions and shouts. Dispute this heroic charge and rallying everypony. They still weren't going to win this fight.
"We are not going to win this my princesses!" Slayer suddenly shouted.
"I can see that, what do we do?" Celestia replied. Luna avoided this trying to pray, to hope they would actually win this fight for once. Rather than rely on somepony else coming to aid. They were always outnumbered and outarmed.
"We must fallback deeper into the city. Set up mines and turrets." Slayer replied. Then paused. "Oh right. We must fallback deeper into the city. Try to set up chock points against this foul army." He fixed what he had said seeing as this Universe didn't have the technology he so desired.
"Sister. If you would be so bold." Luna said, Celestia nodded.
"Fallback! Fallback into the city. Archers cover the retreat." Tia shouted then the three ponies began to fallback back through the broken gates and into the city itself, watching Decay fire swarm over them.
As the three ponies ran through the houses, abandoned as everypony had rushed of to the castle a strange noise sounded. Celestia stopped in her tracks. A purple swirl in the space above them slowly appeared.
"Brace for a fight." Celestia muttered. Luna brought down her almost burning spear down. Slayer gripped his hammer. There was a roar coming from the portal, something a human would make. Some sort of war cry. Not in the language the invaders had used, something, different. Suddenly the figure jumped out of the swirling void. He was big, certainly a human. Had no hair on his head as most humans had, he had stubby fingers in a blue coat and trousers. A black fingerless glove on one hand and a small layer of grey hair on his chin. He seemed to be gripping some sort of incredibly big gun. Long black barrel then was spinning, slowing down slightly with a hint of smoke coming off. The man was rather big for what Celestia had seen from other humans and was a lot taller too.
"Are you a friend. Or a foe?" Celestia asked slowly.
"Are you little pony?" The man asked. He had a strange accent on him, not sounding at all like the other humans.
"Yes. I am Princess Celestia, co ruler of the relatively peaceful race of ponies. We mean you no harm, at the moment evil things, demons are invading and we need help. I will explain the rest later. Will you help us?" Celestia asked.
"Da. Princess Celestia you say? Who are you and you?" The big man asked. Pointing his guns at Luna and Slayer.
"I am Princess Luna. Co ruler of this land. Celestia's sister."
"Amd I am Slayer. A foreigner to these lands, much like yourself. Who would you be?" Slayer asked. As he did three black creatures came into view and looked upon the sight of the three ponies and man. They stood still for a minute, debating their options.
"I." The man began then stepped in front of the ponies staring at the Demons, who hissed at the man. "I am Heavy Weapons guy. And this." The man lifted his gun slightly. "Is my weapon." With that the man began to fire upon the three Demons, who were literally torn up but gunfire. Being ripped apart by this mans gun.
