A Hero Of War (UNEDITED)

Escape

Bishop sat behind the overturned desk as his team fired at the enemy, every so often he would peek above the table to see what was going on, only to have to dive back down again as bullets narrowly miss him every time. He looked at the sold wood guarding him, tiny holes started to appear in the varnish as the table slowly began to fall apart.

"Sir!!" Andy shouted. "What do we do?!!"

Bishop looked at Rainbow Dash, she was shaking, holding the sergeant tightly, like a child holds onto it mother, he tried his hardest to think but his mind was still consumed with anger having almost ended up in a fist fight with Dixon just moments ago. Then he thought of something.

"The garage!! .... There was a Jeep in the garage right?!!"

The constant gunfire almost made it impossible to hear what was anyone was saying.

"Yes!!"

Sergeant Bishop then turned to Dixon who was still firing at the enemy.

"Dixon!! We're moving this desk to the left, we're gonna make a break for the garage!!"

Dixon didn't respond he continued to blank the sergeant as he took out enemy soldiers one by one.

"Dixon!! DIXON GOD DAMN IT LISTEN!!"

Nothing. Dixon completely blanked the sergeant, that was until he heard that noise.

*Click!*

The intoxicated soldier turned, he then recoiled at the sight of a pistol pointing straight in his face. Rainbow Dash, private Andy and Sergeant Cole watch as Bishop held the weapon against Dixon's head. The drunken soldier looked surprised, but then he quickly lifted his weapon to Bishop's head. Both men stared at each other despite the raging battle coming closer to them. Rainbow watched as both men refused to back down.

"We are getting out of this shithole!! With or without you!! Now we are leaving this place or god as my witness I will shoot you dead you selfish motherfucker!!"

Dixon looked over the sergeants shoulder, both Andy and Cole had their weapons ready and the blue Pegasus shivered in Bishop's arm. Dixon went back to staring at sergeant Bishop, who had still not broken eye contact, tense seconds passed by before Dixon took one hand off his weapon and grabbed the desk.
Still pointing their weapons at each other both men hoisted the table up before running out of the gunfire. Both soldiers then lowered their weapons as they all made a break for the garage. Rainbow Dash was running by Bishop's side staying as close as possible. Being the oldest of the group, sergeant Bishop found it difficult to keep up, despite that Rainbow Dash continued to run by his side.
Bishop then felt the gunfire by his feet as he looked behind to see the Nazi soldiers behind him. He the leaned down and grabbed the cyan Pegasus, shielding her from the gunfire as he held her to his chest. The three soldiers ran through the garage door before turning to wait for the sergeant.
Bishop held his breath as he pumped his legs as fast as he could but he still wasn't quick enough. Sergeant Bishop screamed in agony as three scolding hot bullets tore through his back, chunks of flesh and sprays of blood sprayed into the air as the sergeant collapsed yards from the door. Rainbow Dash was dropped onto the floor, luckily she landed on her feet before she looked back in horror, watching as the sergeant wailed in indescribable pain.

"BISH!!" Rainbow squealed before running to his aid before grabbing his collar with her teeth, pulling furiously as the soldiers in the distance got closer.

Sergeant Cole then came from behind before helping Rainbow pull Bishop to safety, the wounded sergeant the roared before pulling out his sidearm and started to shoot wildly at the enemy.

"MOTHERFUCKER!!"

He mustered all the concentration he could before he accurately took out soldiers as they ran closer, but just before he was pulled into the garage another bullet struck the sergeant in his right shoulder. Andy closed the large metal door and locked it just before the Nazi soldiers started to try and kick it open.
The private then ran to hold the sergeant down as sergeant Cole examined his wounds. Rainbow Dash was sat next to Bishop crying as the firefight continued outside.

"Give me some room!!" Cole said as he pushed the mare away.

Rainbow Dash watched as sergeant Bishop squirmed, roaring like a wounded animal as sergeant Dixon got into the Jeep before searching for the keys. Sergeant Cole looked at the bloody wounds feeling the heat from the bullets inside Bishop's body as they burned his insides.

"GAAAAAAAHHH FFFFUUUUUCK!!"

Blood was pouring from the wounds as sergeant Cole quickly opened his bag, frantically searching for something, anything to help, but there was nothing but junk. He then heard the vehicle start behind him.

"Andy!! Give me a hand!!"

Rainbow Dash watched as the two soldiers picked up the still screaming sergeant before carrying him towards the jeep. Rainbow walked behind the soldiers along the trail of blood, she turned back to see the strong metal door, now hanging off it's hinges, soldiers shooting theirs guns through the cracks of the doors as Bishop was lifted into the back of the truck. Rainbow Dash quickly jumped next to Bishop just as Dixon put the vehicle into gear.

"Dixon!!" Cole shouted. "Get out the car, Andy's driving!!"

Dixon ignored the sergeants orders and slammed his foot on the throttle, the sudden acceleration made Rainbow Dash loose her footing and fall off the truck. She landed on her back before she realized had just happened she looked at the steel door, she watched in her upside down view as the enemy soldiers finally smashed it open, making it land on the ground with deafening crash.
Her heart stopped she panicked, she flailed her legs before she was back on her hooves, Rainbow Dash then ran as fast as she could outside the garage before seeing the soldiers driving away in the jeep.

"Wait!!"

She was caught off guard as the ground shook beneath her hooves, she turned around, she almost swallowed her tongue as she saw a tank coming towards her. She started to run, feeling her legs burning from the fatigue as she looked back to see the large cannon on top of the armored vehicle as it fired at the escaping Jeep.
Rainbow Dash galloped, dodging the gunfire as it struck the ground below her feet, her vision was clouded by the dust and rocks that flew through the air, making almost impossible to see where the jeep as they drove away. She couldn't run any faster, she lost sight of the truck as I drove into the woods, she could see sergeant Cole and private Andy shouting at her as they disappeared.
She didn't stop, she continued to sprint as fast as her legs could carry her, following the same path they took into the forrest. She screamed for help as the sound of the engine got quieter and quieter, the last thing she heard was sergeant Bishop screaming as her legs couldn't take the strain any more.
She collapsed onto the ground in a muddy puddle, her previously fresh blue coat was now once again covered in dust and dirt as she gasped for air before slowly breaking down into tears.

"D-don't go. .... Don't leave me. .... Please."

She openly sobbed in the muddy water the rain still crashing against the trees of the forrest as she cried into her hooves. She was all alone, in this dark unforgiving world, consumed with war, hate and disharmony.
