Total chaos. That's what it was. Just total chaos. Even if Discord somehow managed to get back from his vacation in the eight dimension and decided he wanted to get himself "Un-reformed", there would have been no way in hell for him to have set a standard so high for himself.
The shield that had once protected Canterlot and held it's own against the full force of a changeling army was about as much protection as tissue paper against a flamethrower the moment the first dragon came dive-bombing down upon Canterlot. It smashed through the shield and crashed into several buildings, sowing destruction and death in it's wake.
The royal guard were mobilized in less time than one could say "blitzkrieg" the only problem was, the offensive spells that were everyday to the average unicorn guard would do little more than throwing ping pong balls against a dragon, the pegasi found themselves at a similar disadvantage, the only difference would be that they won't have time to react against an angry dragon if they zapped it with a bolt of lightning from the nearest cloud.
"Al daar hiim! Aldol nii wah golt!" Feynaltdrog cried over the sweet melody of destruction as he watched a pony get devoured in a bloody mess by a dragon. Cackling manically the dragon king readied himself, for the first time in 1,000 years, he had the time to try the spell.
"Suldaan! Meyz veyl!" The call of the apocalypse.
The coming of the event would not come until perhaps the literal end of time. (Duh.) It was merely what one would call... a preview of what the actual thing may be like. The ground split open and molten lava poured straight out of the holes, the skies blackened themselves, not from the hundreds of dark wings that obscured the moon itself but from the dark clouds of ill omen as a literal eye of terror opened it's up where the moon should be, everything else obscured by the darkness.
Fire and brimstone rained down upon the hapless city of canterlot, as though it hadn't been ravaged enough by the marauding dragons that made their point of burning down the city, everywhere the balls of fire crashed into the ground of Canterlot, it's citizens would find themselves at the most perilous of all situations as death sprang from both beneath and above them.
From her tower, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna watched the destruction unfold. The mad king of dragons relishing in the ruin he caused. Looking at each other, the pair took to the skies, making a beeline straight for the dragon king, coming face to face with the massive black dragon who acknowledged their presence with a smile.
"Dii wuth paal. Vir pruzah los nii fah mii wah grind ont einzuk? Vir lingrah lost nii kosaan? Fah ton eruvos, Zu'u lost kosaan ni nuz bruzah, dii sil krent kotin malur naal hin veistul luh. Vir gluuskei fah zey, hi nid lingrahiik posses grik zun wah kod midrak zey."
"You deserved your sentence Feynaltdrog, king of dragons. For the world suffered and trembled beneath your claws." Luna said as she readied her horn, her elder sister preparing herself.
"Ful saag gein wo unt wah frit lein ko unahzaal vulom. Lost hi vodahmin hin siifur dren? Tol hi los med zey? Hi laan lein ahst hin fren? Hi skem zey. Pah do hin eylok dreh. Hi yolskein mii vokulin tul duzrah hin siifur dren. Tol los fahvos lein qaariv wah kos neben dii fren. Zu'u los vahzah siifuriik do daar lein. Nunon zok suleykaar fen alun vorliz."
"Then if only the powerful may rule, then we'll let you see who just may be!" Celestia replied as the golden beam shot out of her horn, straight at the dragon king who had readied his voice, the moment the words escaped his mouth, the bright blue shield covered his front as the power of the sun hit it with all it's might. The shield buckled and cracked, but did not break as the dragon king readied himself for the counter attack.
"How... much... further?" Sanya whispered into Cap's ear over the sounds of crickets.
"Not much more kid. We'll stop in five minutes... okay?" Steve replied as he took a drink from his canteen.
"Okay..." Sanya said as she continued moving. "Steve... I think I heard something..."
"What is it?" Cap asked as he took out his pistol, getting ready for any trouble. Likewise, swords and guns were all drawn the moment Sanya said this, much to the Orussian's annoyance.
"No... as in far away... like really far away..."
"Okay... so tell me about it."
"There were... screams... just like that. Screams. I think..."
"Kid... I don't want to be that guy, but we can't really just go off and get sidetracked every time some poor sap accidently steps on a set of legos." Slade said. "Whatever it is, it's probably some horse who scraped his knee or something."
"No... I think it was many of them. And there was just SO many of them... I think... we need to hurry."
"Well... that's the talk." Raynor said as they kept going on. "You still tired?"
"No." Sanya lied as moved with them, in truth, having not gotten a good night's sleep in quite the long time, she felt like she could fall asleep right then and there.
"Well... regardless, whether you're a witch, super soldier or crazy doctor... I think we all need to sleep some time." Raynor said. "This place looks good. What do you say Cap?"
"Looks good to me." Steve said he took a look at the outside of the cave. "If there's anything in there, we can take care of it."
"My pleasure." Slade chuckled nastily as he readied his assault rifle and activated his tactical vision. Indeed, there was a faint trace of a creature within. "Let's have some fun Cap."
Let's just say... a certain Apex predator in Equestria was REALLY big. Like big enough to probably omnomnom on Killer Croc without a problem. The only thing was... it was kinda see-through and had a strange, almost magical physiology that made it so that it blended in albeit too perfectly in terms of temperature with it's surroundings.
It was really big. I can give you that. And you know what else it had? Gunshots were pretty much mosquito bites to it, and the massive size of it all meant that it could probably turn even Jim Raynor in a full suit of power armor into pudding in just a few seconds with little to no effort.
When Slade and Cap went into the cave. They stumbled straight into a sleeping Ursa. As usual, because of the darkness of the place, no one really bothered to actually take out a flashlight and see what they were dealing with. All Slade knew was something was in front of him and it was probably a wild animal. Thinking of clearing up some space and probably having breakfast, the mercenary fired a few rounds of his assault rifle straight into it's face.
Only then did he realize the error of his mistake once he heard the low rumble that resembled that of an earthquake.
The two must have broken records in an attempt to get out of that cave.
