"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.
