VI - Heated Battle

The three sprinted for the armory, an explosion burst next to Tapped Wire, a piece of shrapnel cut her wing, sheared off almost all of the feathers, and left a large gash in the side. Flung aside by the blast, she lay injured in the dirt.

"Wire!" Short Circuit cried out, galloping to her.

"Somepony get her a medic!" Captain Valence called out.

Two medics galloped to her with a gurney, put her on and galloped to the infirmary.

System Crash and Short Circuit made it to the armory.

They both grabbed VIPRs and breathing apparatuses and dashed into the battle.

Heavily-armored stallions with machine guns marched in lines through the gate.

System Crash noticed the flaw in their formation and threw a grenade into the middle of their line.

Most of Moonlight Company's units were sent flying in every direction. One's legs had been blown off by the explosion.

"Somepony help me, damn it!" He shouted.

Short Circuit fired the automatic shotgun into the remainder of the force, the recoil was unbelievable. His magic could barely hold onto the weapon.

Somepony threw a grenade back into the rebels. It exploded, destroying the atmosphere generator.

The rebels started to suffocate, Moonlight Company's armor had breathing masks built-in.

System Crash and Short Circuit barely managed put on their masks. Captain Valence, General Sparks, and some other soldiers put them on as well.

Tapped Wire had a mask on already, as it was medical procedure.

Moonlight Company's platoon was gunned down by five. The remaining rebels switched to their Automatic Shotguns, firing relentlessly until their enemies were all on the ground, injured or dead.

They captured the injured, and the rebel engineers rushed to repair the atmosphere generator.
