//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: A war story // by Col_R4inbow_D4sh //------------------------------// Chapter 2 I woke up on the ground, My Head felt like shit, but still I stood up and walked over to the ham radio "heres Rainbow Dash, Big Mac come in." Rainbow said "Big Mac?" She asked again "hmmm... That's wierd." She thought "Bravo come in." Rainbow said "Charlie... Anypony!" Rainbow asked "Colonel?" A Soldier asked "Finally were is everypony?" Rainbow asked "Ma'am I'm everything that is left from the companys. the rest have gotten dragged off..." the Soldier answered "Dragged off? where?" Rainbow asked "They went ehmm... north, it was a rather large force about 10 battalions." the soldier replied "What happend to the town?" Rainbow asked but pretty much already knew the answer "War happend Ma'am, we defended till the last soldier... but we were outnumbered 4 to 1." the soldier answered "Hmm... so North, that can only mean..." replied "Ma'am I hope you don't plan to go alone after them." the soldier said "Well actually..." Rainbow replied "Ma'am you have no chance alone." the soldier said "I know and I don't care, so..." Rainbow answered "Ma'am... It was an honor to fight with you." the soldier replied "Pleasure is on my site too... So north from here is a prison camp called Grypha. You soldier, try to get to the HQ and tell them Operation: Typhoon has started, they need to send some battalions to attack the city, tell them something around 11 Armored Battalion, 7 Infantry Battalions and some Heavy anti air defence, if they ask you who you got that order from tell them from me, if they don't trust you just tell them. Courage. they should now what is ment by it." Rainbow said "Yes Ma'am and Good luck" the soldier replied With that I began to make my way to the war prison I had nothing than a M4 with 2 Magazines, Binoculars and a survival knife. I began to make my way to the War prison, after about 3 hours of walking, I saw a patrol. "A patrol, a pretty small one though, 2 trucks and a combat jeep, should I...?" Rainbow thought Rainbow Dash made her way slow, steady and stealthy, the patrol has a small break at a small house... "That's they're last break," Rainbow Dash thought I walked around the house, and saw 2 Griffins just staying there, they faced the other direction. "Please, don't turn around," Rainbow thought She walked up to 1 of the Griffins and stabbed him in the throat, the second Griffin turned just little too late as the knife hit him right in the chest. "If all of them are like this, I will take them out in no time," Rainbow thought out loud She saw the jeep but no Griffin sat in it, she then moved up to the jeep only paying little attention, A pony spotted her and shot, but shot right past her, but it was enough to get the attention of the other ponies. "Damit, well looks like it there's no way arround now," Rainbow thought Dash took out her M4 taking out that pony... but 5 more came around the corner... But to her luck they didn't spotted her "Okay no it's offical, these Griffins are blind, But anyway how am I Supposed to take them out, I only got this M4 and... The .50 cal on the jeep" Rainbow thought I open the door of the jeep as quiet as she could, and jumped in, I moved up to the .50 cal, and began to pretty much shred them appart, before the Griffins could react 2 of them were already dead, the other 3 hid behind the closest thing, I jumped out from the jeep "Okay, 2 Griffins ran right and 1 left," Rainbow thought She walked to the left side first, as she walked arround the corner from the house, A gun barrel was already held against her head "Damit, didn't saw that one coming," She mumbled "Last words?" The Griffin asked shaking a little "Nope," Rainbow answered with pretty much no care But the Griffin didn't shot "I... can't do this...," The Griffin said "...," Rainbow said nothing I grabbed the gun barrel, and moved it away from my head, I nodded at Her, and moved passed her, as I peeked around the other corner I saw the 2 griffins, I wanted to take out my weapon again and shot them, But before I did so I felt a claw on my sholder, I instantly turned. "Shhhh, I'm gonna help you, okay?" The griffin whispered I just nodded, I didn't knew what to say, The griffin walked over to the other 2 griffins, I wasn't able to hear what they talked about, The 2 griffins turned and pulled ot they're weapons, The next thing I know the griffin that wanted to help me knocked both of them out. I walked over slowly. The griffin turned and nodded, and I nodded back, She went over to one of the trucks and got all the weapons out and gave them to me, "They could come in handy," Rainbow replied The griffin said nothing, got into the truck and drove off, I shouted my thanks after her, but nothing else... after several seconds I looked in the second truck and found some C4 and some more guns, as soon as I got them I went over to the jeep putted everything in there, and was off. Several hours later Rainbow Dash followed another patrol at save distance, they had a break at a small village, she watched at they're behavior, one Griffin just kept talking while the other one said nothing and did nothing... His uniform covered everything from head to tail so nothing could be sean, and he had a helmet too "Hmmm that one guy says nothing and has a helmet and the perfect uniform, He that's my lucky day." she thought Rainbow got out from the truck, she went over there as fast and as quiet she could, and hid behind a house. " But how can I get them to split up... of course." she thought She looked for stuff to throw, and saw some stones she got over to them and picked them up. She threw them to the opposite house the 2 Griffins got up and looked around "That's right keep going you two... come on split up...," she thought and it worked they went into the house one of the Griffins went upside and the other one searched down stairs, Rainbow moved quickly, she threw another stone but this time to her former position, It was loud enough to make the Griffin down stair notice and he moved over... Rainbow got behind him and kicked him against the backside of the helmet, he went unconscious, Rainbow change the clothes she struggeld a little bit to get into it but she finally did it. "Now that I got this I... damit he comes...," She though. A gun shot, the other pony that was upstairs ran down around the corner and he saw his "Mate" killed something "Why did you...killed that griffin" the Griffin asked "Phew it works," Rainbow though. She turned but said nothing she pointed at the bloody knife besides the dead body and then to her wound "Hmm... Okay I guess... Now let's get a move on, don't want that to happen again." he answered Rainbow just nodded. They went over to the truck, Rainbow limped over to the co-driver side, and the went Griffin to the drivers side, with that they were off. Several hours later... again Rainbow and her "Mate" arrived at the prision, The driver talked with the guard and the gates opened. "Good... Now that I'm inside keep an eye out for them," She thought. They passed several cells, then Rainbow saw some pretty familiar faces, She stopped and turned looking at them "These are the guys from the big city battle." The Griffin explained Rainbow just nodded and get moving again I just walked around the whole rest of the day, to explore the prison, I went to bed but kept the Uniform on it was very early, the alarm didn't even got off yet, she got up and went back to the prison cells 5 Minutes Later She stood before the prison cell of her friends, she knocked against the bars to wake them up "What is it this time?" Big Mac asked "We already said we ain't gonna tell anythin' " Applejack said "And that's good." Rainbow replied "That voice..." Fluttershy said, "Rainbow?" Twilight asked "Yea it's me, listen I will get you guys out tomorrow, I only have to think for a plan..." Rainbow said "Ya what?, did you looked around ya?, we're in a prison cell surrounded by commies." Applejack replied "I know... hey how many from us are here?" Rainbow asked "Quiet some, why?" Twilight asked "I asked how many." Rainbow replied "Hmm... about 2 Companies why?." Twilight answered "okay, that's more then enough... guys I gotta go, see you later or tomorrow." Rainbow said "Dash... be careful." Soarin said "Will do." Rainbow replied She went back to her bunk, as soon she got out from the uniform and into the bed again, the alarm rang and she did like everyone else... only the second time. The rest of the day went pretty much "Normal" for commie standards, She stood some guard did something of this and that and that was pretty much it. But while she did she thought about a plan "Hmm, there are some gas tanks... I could use the C4 on them and distract everyone, yea that would be best," Rainbow thought As soon as my watch was over it was dark, everyone that had day watch went to bed and the night watch began, I went over to the prison cells and told the guard there that it was my watch now, he gave me the keys and walked away, after about 5 minutes I just walked out too and no one noticed. I had the C4 with me and placed it near the gas tanks right after that I went over to the armory, and wanted to get some weapons in my duffle bag, But on my way back saw a some armored vehicles. Still I carried on, about 5 minutes later I was in the armory for my luck noone was in there and I was able to get some weapons and ammo. The Next day... again Rainbow had though about a perfect plan yesterday, she went over to the prison cells once again "Guys, be ready, I will get you out of here within the hour" Rainbow told them "What's the sign?" Big Mac asked "The sign is me... as soon you see me in here again will be with key for the cells and you will be free." Rainbow replied "Understood." Big Mac replied Rainbow Dash nodded at them and went of. I needed to wait for the perfect moment and it took some times but after about 50 Minutes, I got it and... -------------------------------- Meanwhile "When do you guys think it will happen?" Big Mac asked Suddenly Explosions and shooting from outside answered his question "There it is." Applejack replied "No shit Captain obvious," Big Mac replied -------------------- "ha, I knew that C4 would come in handy." Rainbow thought Rainbow Dash ran down the hallway with a her duffle bag full of weapons and ammo on her back and the keyring for the cells in her mouth, she bursts through the doors and threw her helmet off and went over to the cell of her friends "There she is!" Fluttershy exclaimed "Dash... really... always?" Big Mac asked "What you know me, now let me get you..." Rainbow began, but she got cut off mid sentence as a Griffin jumped onto her back, she was thrown of her hoofs by the force , But the Griffin didn't sit long on her as she bucked him down, she rolled over stood back up and charged the Him, the ponies in the cells were only able to hear things crash down, and sometimes quiet crys of pain until, one very loud cry of pain was to hear, then a cracking bones and then... nothing, everything was quiet for a couple of seconds, until hoofsteps could be heard and somepony came into view "Rainbow!" Twilight exclaimed "What? did you thought that a punk like that could kill me?..." Rainbow replied breathing heavily "Ughh... my Head" She thought "No but having a knife in you back hoof isn't nothing." Big Mac answered "Wha?... ohh hehe ehmm..., let me just real quick open the door, before more come." Rainbow replied Rainbow Dash opend the cell door and told them to grab the gear in the duffle bag, and then to get everypony else out of the cells A couple of minutes Later Rainbow looked at her back hoof and thinking until, "Dash everypony is free, what now." Soarin asked "I saw some armored vehicles outside, we need to get there." Rainbow replied "Okay, you heard the lady, GO!" Soarin shouted Everypony began to charge outside except of Soarin. "Hey Dash let me help you with the knife real quick." Soarin said "No, No don't even dare to...!" Rainbow exclaimed Before she could finish her sentence Soarin pulled the knife in one swift move out "AGGGHH, WHAT DID I TELL YOU!" Rainbow shouted "Don't be such a baby, got bandages in the duffle bag?" Soarin replied "NO! that's one of the reasons why I didn't wanted that you pull it out!" Rainbow answered "Don't worry I will get you some, We only have to slow the bleeding down" Soarin replied "No, you already did enough. I'm just gonna use some parts of the uniform, you go out and help the others." Rainbow replied "Dash just tell me where the clinic is." Soarin replied "*Sigh* hmm... I think down the hallway and then to right." Rainbow answered "Okay, be right back." Soarin replied After about 4 minutes Soarin came back "Got them." Soarin said "Finally what took you so long?" Rainbow replied "hmm... for a Pony that doesn't want bandages you're pretty impatient *Chuckle*" Soarin said "Haha mighty funny." Rainbow replied "Sorry I just needed to find them and..." Soarin began before getting cut off "Okay, Okay just bandage me and shut up..." Rainbow replied "Dash, Why do you have a deep cut in your front hoof, it doesn't look you got it today?" Soarin asked "Ohh, yea long story, let's just say I needed it to get in here." Rainbow answered "You won't be walking good like this." Soarin replied "I don't care, as long as I can walk everything's fine." Rainbow replied "Dash... I'm gonna carry you okay?" Soarin said "What? no I... *Sigh* fine... Thanks." Rainbow replied Soarin placed Rainbow onto his back and carried her out, in the meanwhile pretty much the whole prison was wiped out. "Dash?" Big Mac asked "Yea...?" Rainbow replied "why are you... Ehmm nevermind, we got the whole prision, we would be ready to move out." Big Mac answered "okay we are gonna move back south, back to the city and going to retake it." Rainbow replied "What we can't do that we don't have enough soldiers for that." Soarin replied "Hmph, that's what you think, I sended a pony back to the HQ before I came here to tell them Operation: Typhoon is up, by now there should be 26 Battalions attacking the city" Rainbow answered "Wasn't that a backup plan for extreme situations?" Soarin asked "And what are you calling this?" Rainbow asked "Point taken... Okay, let's get a move on." Soarin replied "Soarin bring me to my company please." Rainbow said "Dash, You're in no condition to lead the charge nor a company." Soarin replied "Are you... why... AHH." Rainbow replied angry "Dash calm down, you will come with my company, we will stay a little behind, but we will see action." Soarin said "Ohh... Alright..." Rainbow replied Soarin walked to one of the tank and got in, Rainbow looked out for a second and signed everypony to get ready. "Okay for this operation Big Mac has the commando, but Twilight you will lead Delta, Soarin Charlie, Big Mac Alpha, now get a move on!" Rainbow said "Okay everypony, get ready we will move south and get the city back, but this time we will have much more support" Big Mac told them
