> MLP WAR JOURNALS > by RAGNAROK > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "When I was young my father would always say'for a wounded man shall say to his assailent if I die you are forgiven,if I live I will kill you' thats a bunch of bull". Rapspiten said to himshelf. Saying these words every morning has become a ritual to him now."I've been stationed here a month now, and I havnt seen a thing". He said to himshelf watching the horizen.He started his morning routine of cleening his rifle.Usualy when he was finished he would eat breakfast ,but today he felt sick to his stomach, so he skipped it.Little did he know this quit mundane life was soon to end, He heard something off in the distance but put it off as nothing. Then he heard the sound he always hoped would never come. The air raid siren started blaring, over the intercom he heard the commander speaking."Battlestations everypony now"! As he heard that he could now see the attackers. They were panzerchlek pegasi the black uniforms and the black crosses on the flanks were dead givaways. He knew his mosin nagant would not reach that far into the sky.He cursed to himself silently then remembered the package sent from command. Earlier in the week he requested a new rifle it has already arrived he just hasnt opened it yet, he knew he'd need it for this. As he opened the crate he smiled to himself, the weapon before him was one extream beauty, the ptrs-41. He knew with this he would prove more eficient. He loaded the rifle,took aim, then fired. He droped one pegasi,then the bombs started droping. The sound was deafening,he felt the earth move beneath his hoove. All he could hear was the ringing, then he felt warmth, then the pain began. Some shrapnel had struck him in the ribcage. Then before he could react another bomb fell next to the outpost throwing him clear of it. He knew he had to get away but were, he thought. Then he realized he could get to the everfree forest but how, he couldnt move his leg let alone walk so he crawled. He crawled for three days straight with little rest and no food or water. Until finally he reached a cabin, in wich then he blacked out. He awoke to a shoft voice singing to him he felt warm and safe as if he had died and reached heaven, but when he opened his eyes he saw a yellow pegasus with yellow coat and a pink mane smiling at him. He tried to get up but the pain shot through him again. She frowned to him and said,"you need to rest so your wounds can heal". He almost couldnt take the soft voice seriosly, but he knew he wouldnt be able to fight back in his condition. "Whats your name". He asked. "Fluttershy",she responded."Whats yours"."Raspiten",he said. He knew he neaded to get back to the warzone but wnted to stay awhile to make sure his savior stayed safe from the panzerchlek , he knew what they did to ponies who havnt been killed or enslaved in eqestria, and he thought to himself he wanted to get to know the pony that saved his life. The yellow pegasus brought a new meaning to his life. Before she saved him all he wanted to do was die, but not now. She reminded him of why he was fighting. His family was brutally murdered in the first war, he was the only survivor in the chaose. He vowed that day to kill as many panzerchlek as he could but he was to young. Then the time arose when the second war began. He wondered why she had helped him , but he couldnt ask just yet. He really couldnt complain he was fed well, better than the military meals he was used to. He wasnt yelled at to do something. Best of all she was kind to him. "So your a slavian soldier"? She asked. "Yep sergeant of the 3rd red infantry brigade". He replied. "What was it like"? She asked. "short an simple,a living hell. Combat training was the most painfull experience of my life. Most died before the end of the first week. The instructors would always say, only the strong will survive, the colt next to you may not survive you must work as a team of one, dont rely on the other you must think on your own". He replied laughing to himself. The next question asked, he was not prepared for. Her face grew darker with sadness." How many have you killed"? He knew the meaning to this question. " More than i can count". He replied in a monotone voice."Why does this world have to constantly tear itself appart"? She replied while starting to cry."Without war there is no peace like if there is no evil ther is no good, war just has to happen to keep the order". He replied."I guess your right". She said while drying her eyes."And you dont have to worry im here". He stated smiling."I guess so". She replied giggling."Im going to go on a walk". He said."Your not up to health yet". She replied."Dont worry il be fine". He replied.As he walked down the path he could hear voices in the woods,Panzerchlek.He started running back to the cabin, he was then takled from behind, and thrown to the ground.He yanked ou his knife and stabbed the colt on top of him.Then a heavy hoove stamped his face knocking him out cold.He woke in a cold dark room that reaked of death.He then heard crying and started tugging at the harness to get free, but he couldnt break free.He was then stamped in the face agian."Well men waht should we do with these two"? Said a foriegn voice"I say we kill them slowly". Said another voice. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Paire of kings, beat that". "Rookie youve got alot to learn, royal flush pay up". Said slaughterfrost. "Fuck that was my last meal token"! Said the rookie, throwing the cards on the table." What are you to bitches think your doing"! Said a commanding voice from behind. Slaughterfrost nearly fell on the floor. Wide eyed slaughterfrost turned around. There standing before him was the gunny as he was called, the most feared stalion in the camp, notorious for giving the harshest treatment."Why arent you two at your stations. You know the enemy can attack at any moment. We just recieved word from slavian command that a border outpost has been atacked, no survivors". "What happened"? Asked the rookie. "Apparently a blitzkrieg of pegasi". Replied gunny."Eqestrian rulers fear a small town called ponyvile is in danger so your going to be droped in by air balloon". Said gunny."Why us"? Replied rookie."Cause I volunteered you two". Said gunny."Your mission is to evacuate survivors until a main force can arrive"."When do we leave"? Asked slaughterfrost."In 20 minutes, so get ready". Said gunny. "Your going to jump or not"? Asked slaughterfrost."We are wearing parachutes you know"."Its to high, I cant jump". Said the rookie. Right after those words he let out a yelp as he was pushed over the edge."Pull the cord". Slaughterfrost yelled following him down. They landed on the outskirts of town. "Ok rookie we need to move into the town, but quietly". Said slaughterfrost as they moved closer to the town."See that school house go check it out", commanded slaughterfrost. He moved to the door of the school rifle at the ready."What is that smell, smells like shit" said the rookie.As he opened the door he fell back wide eyed and shocked at the scene before him."Whats wrong",asked slaughterfrost. He walked over to him and looked in."My god",he said. There inside the school house were the torn and mutilated bodies of the young fillies."This cant be",the rookie said."Welcome to war",replied slaughterfrost."Check for survivors", ordered slaughterfrost. As they walked down the isles there seemed to be no survivors until the rookie stumbled apon a fillie with what used to be a red mane, now it was ash black that was chared to a chrisp, and what appeared to be pink bow."I found one"yelled the rookie. Slaugherfrost ran to the rookie he knelt next to him, he spoke softly."Can you hear me young one".He asked. He saw her eyes open slowly, once joyful and full of life now full of fear and pain."He-hello".she said in a dry voice."Dont waste your strength, your safe now".She coughted once then looked around shocked at what she saw around her. She tried to move. but he held her down."Calm down", Slaughterfrost commanded. He could feel the life slipping away from her now, there was nothing for him to do now."Whats your name",he asked."Applebloom",she replied."Its ok you can rest now",he said qiuetly in her ear. Then her breathing slowly died down until it completely stopped."Ok we need to move on",he said to the rookie."We cant just leave them here like this",the rookie replied."W have to. Welcome to war its not so pretty as the govenment wants you to think now is it. Now come on we need to go",he replied. "There has to be a hidden resistance force somewere",slaughterfrost said as the to moved through the empty streets."I saw a barn out in the countryside as we came in", the rookie replied."When were you going to share this with me",slaughterfrost asked with a frown."I thought you already knew",he replied with a grin."Just tell me next time",slaughterfrost said angrily."Lets go to it then", he said still angry. They moved from building to building, trying to make sure no one saw them. When they finally arived at the barn, they could hear talking inside. Slaughterfrost opened the door slowly, but as it happened shots rang out and bullets wizzed by."Are you eqursteians",slaughterfrost yelled out."Yes, but who are you", a country accented voice called back."Were from yorkstead were here to help",he called back."Prove it",the voice called back. Slautherfrost grabbed the rookies green helmet and threw it into the barn. Yorksted is the only country to use green as a uniform color."Alright come in but slowly",the voice called out beckoning them in."Are you the resistence force in this area",slaugtherfrost asked while walking in and seeing everyone. It wasnt many mostly female except a large stalion with a 1919."Im applejack, thats big mac, rainbow dash, twilight, and pinkie pie",she said pointing to each,"You said applejack do you know a filly named applebloom",he asked."Yes thats my sister we havnt been able to find her",applejack replied looking at the ground."Well im sorry to have to tell you this buts she gone",he said the last part looking into her eyes. Tears welled up into her eyes and she ran to big mac who also started crying."Im sorry for your loss",slaugtherfrost said looking at the ground."We need t get you out of here now. Rookie weres the radio",he said gestering for the radio."Um I think I droped it during the fall",the rookie said while kicking dust up."Then I guess well be stuck here for a while then',slaughterfrost said angrily pushing the rookie.
