Rainbow Dash started to hyperventilate, her mind was racing and her whole body was shivering, she started to whimper.
"N-no. .... I gotta get out of here! .... I wanna go home! I wanna go home!!"
No matter how hard she tried she couldn't stop the images of all the violence she has just witnessed. Flesh being torn, blood spraying like a fountain, the strangled cries of all the soldiers who were killed in front of her eyes and when Dixon crushed that Germans head as if he was nothing more then a petty insect.
Rainbow Dash could no longer suppress, she let out a tortured wail, her screams echoed through the corridors of the hospital, she could feel herself starting to shut down, she then felt a hand touch her back.
"Hey! It's alright-"
That was as far as sergeant Cole got before Rainbow Dash smacked his hand away.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!! .... ALL OF YOU!! STAY AWAY FROM ME!!"
Rainbow Dash was then picked up off the ground, she flailed wildly before she was face to face with sergeant Bishop. She kicked and squirmed as hard as she could before the injured sergeant shook her firmly.
"Snap out of it!!"
The Pegasus struggled for longer before she couldn't fight anymore, she broke down, she threw herself forwards and wrapped her hooves around the sergeants neck, openly sobbing as tears poured down his shoulder.
"I just wanna go home!! .... WHY CAN'T I JUST GO HOME?!!"
Sergeant Bishop returned the hug, streaking her coat, careful not to let his nose bleed on her now fresh fur. Sergeant Cole walked up and looked at Bishop.
"What are we going to do Bishop?"
The sergeant paused, still holding the devastated mare in his arms.
"We need to go. Right now."
"What about Dixon?"
".... *Sigh* .... I don't know, head back to the ward and start packing, we've got a shitstorm waiting for us."
Sergeant Cole nodded before running towards the ward, sergeant Bishop paused before walking towards the window, shielding the Pegasus in his arms from the gruesome sight he was about to see. Rainbow Dash rested her head on his chest as she felt the warm sun on her body. The sergeant then leaned out the window, seeing only the mutilated soldier lying on the ground, blood still spreading, staining the concrete and fractured teeth shattered across the ground as the rain slowly washed it all away. The sergeant had a lump in his throat as he looked at what was left of Dixon's handiwork.
"Fuck. .... Come on. We have to leave."
As he started to walk back to the ward he felt the Pegasus shuffle in his arms before he looked down to see those large magenta eyes staring back at him.
"P-p-please, don't leave me. .... I don't want to die. I don't want to die!"
Rainbow Dash laid her head against the sergeants chest before she started to loose her strength. Sergeant Bishop felt the Pegasus go limp in his arms as he entered the ward.
**********
The cold handle of the blue box felt strange on her hoof, she felt an odd tingling sensation go through her body before she pulled the handle, it didn't budge, she pulled harder, it still didn't move. She then pushed the handle instead, the heavy door opened inwards as she heard a loud explosion coming from inside, she quickly pushed the door open and looked inside, instantly she was taken back by the shear size of the room she just entered.
Rainbow Dash stumbled back before she stared in disbelief. She ran around the blue box staggered by how it was bigger on the inside. Just then the light on top of the blue box started to glow brightly as a strange noise came from the inside. Rainbow Dash ran to the front door as fast as she could, before she could enter the box again she tripped on the step, landing in a heap on the floor.
She shook her head before she looked into the large room, there was a strange machine in the middle of the room, she looked at all the buttons, levers and lights which covered the strange contraption. She then looked down, she began to see the floor of the cave through the floor of the blue box, she then heard someone shouting in the distance, a male voice that carried a strange accent.
"NO!!"
**********
Rainbow Dash woke up to the sound of metal crashing, as she jumped to her feet she saw sergeant Bishop throwing Dixon against the wall, screaming in his face.
"You STUPID motherfucker!! .... Do you have any, ANY idea what you've just done?!!"
The drunken sergeant stumbled before pushing Bishop off, he then began to laugh before he walked up to the enraged sergeant, squaring up to him, breathing in his face. Bishop stared into Dixon's drunken eyes, waiting for him to speak first.
"Do that again and I'll put you're head on a fucking pike."
"They were scout soldiers you dumb fuck. When their convoy finds out that they're not coming back, they're going to know that we're here. They're going to send every Nazi soldier they have to hunt us down and kill us. And now you're threatening me?!! THEY'RE THE FUCKING ENEMY!! NOT ME!!"
Dixon then turned to look at Rainbow Dash, he smirked before turning to Bishop again.
"If I didn't kill them they would have most certainly have killed you're little furry freak. If anything it's that cunts fault."
Bishop looked at the blue Pegasus, seeing she was awake and looking back at Dixon.
"You had no right to kill a man who was clearly surrendering."
Dixon then grabbed Bishop by the collar.
"You think those bastards would have shown us any mercy?!! .... HUH?!!
Bishop shoved the sergeant away, without warning Dixon threw a punch which sergeant Bishop was lucky to dodge. Bishop then threw a bone crunching right hook to Dixon's rib cage, knocking the wind out of him, before throwing a punch to his face, making the sergeant fall to the floor, groaning in pain before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"That's why you're no better then them. You're just scum!! You hear me motherfucker?!! SCUM!!"
Dixon roared before clambering to his feet, the soldier then sprinted towards sergeant Bishop, but the charge was cut short when gunfire showered the room. Bishop, Dixon, Andy and Cole all dived to the ground. The deafening firefight carried on as Bishop and Dixon both looked at eachother before grabbing their weapons.
"MOVE MOVE!!"
The three soldiers ran straight for the exit as Bishop looked around the room for Rainbow Dash before seeing the terrified Pegasus in the distance, shielding her head with her hooves.
"RAINBOW!!"
She opened her eyes before looking at Bishop, she closed her eyes before galloping towards the sergeant through the hail of gunfire which was slowly destroying the entire building as it began to collapse around her. She leaped into the air and into Bishop's open arms. The sergeant held Dashie tight before he started to run to his waiting team, taking cover behind an overturned desk.
May want to think about a gore tag, if you haven't already.
Oh, so he's blaming HIS sheer dickery and sadism on Dashie, who was actively begging him to stop? Even though she's done literally nothing to slow them down and he ACTIVELY TRIED TO KILL HER WITH THE IMPLICATION HE WAS TAKING HIS TIME JUST TO WATCH HER FEAR?! And he didn't think it'd be a good idea to move in case the Nazis got suspicious when their scouts DIDN'T return? Actually that goes for all of 'em but they can all be forgiven. Never thought I'd say this, but he might actually be worse than the Nazis.
Okay, that last statement wasn't true. What IS true? He's slowing down the team. Refuses to adapt to change of command after the squad leader died, doesn't function in a team, initiates internal conflict whenever possible and was willing to either leave a civilian to die or just kill her off himself because it'd be slightly harder keeping another
personpony alive. Wow, he really IS worse than the Nazis. At least they probably had functioning teams. I just realised that's probably how ya want us to view him. Really says something about how ya portray your characters. And that's really impressive mate. Now, this entire comment's been about the dickery of commander cunt so...Hello, assassins guild? I'd like to place a hit on one Dixon, first name unknown. ... Execution method? Mmm, burning alive in a lake of petrol sounds fitting.
I wouldn't expect the enemy, espescially one like the Nazis, to show any mercy, but that doesn't give anyone the right to do the same. Good chapter though, I like how Rainbow Dash is mentally tortured by the combat. Your really capturing the essence of war in this story.
I knew that maniac was going to end up snapping. Just wasn't sure when.
Your depiction of Dashie in this story really intrigues me. She may be brash and courageous, but this story really helps me to imagine what it would be like if somepony used to the colourful and mostly-peaceful (aside from the occasional Changeling invasion, hydra, diamond dogs, arcane chaos-god, etc...) Equestria suddenly got dropped into the European theater of operations. The culture-shock alone explains how poor Dashie is one step from shellshocked, let alone the near-certainty of a gory death around every corner.
I have to admit, I was a little trepidacious of this story at first, after previous attempts to cross Dashie with World War II didn't go so tastefully (That image where someone photoshopped Dashie into the Warsaw Ghetto?), but this is really, really good and gripping. Upvoted and faved!

at war, it´s opon every single soldier, this actions - it´s not necessary if they were german, american, frensh or russian ...
SOME! "Soldiers", remember, what americansoldier had done to innocent vietnamse people?, Are the complete U.S Army like devil?
The think of that "gruelsomewhantthewholefuckingplanettodie" - it isin´t right, on the german side, brave soldiers stand up to fight a war, and they now the difference betwen good and evil ... just look at the POW camps in germany - these might be not heaven, but not hell (like japanese and russian camps)
DICKS and ASSHOLES are one each side .. not only the germans
I agree to you, somethings that happend like the Josef Mengele "experiment" are fucked (don´t know a better word), but, this is not the german-army at the WW2 ..
mah! - I hope in get some people to get away from this: "GERMAN" ----> "NAZI"
atleast, this word had become sooo random, that i (i´m a german) just laught at this word ... not all fucking germans, yet, or in the past were fucking Nazis ... only the S.S were Nazi ... not the "Wehrmachts-Soldat"...
well shit.
601918 I wasn't calling Germans totally evil or anything and I'm not comparring them to Nazis, those guys were in a league of their own. I was just saying that I wouldn't expect them to show any mercy. I've got nothing against Germans! But the Nazis were messed up.
601918 I don't even really conisder the Nazis to have been Germans. To me, the Nazis were just a large mafia who took control of a country.

The Nazis of the Waffen SS were often non-Germanic entirely. Even though they allowed mainly Germanic individuals to join early on, it became common for non-Arian or German men to volunteer for the SS. Their nationalities vary from Albanian, Belgian, Bulgerian, British, Indian, Finnish, Hungarian, Danish, French, Italian, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, Swiss and so on. The truth is that the Nazi ideology was not exclusive, that in reality many people of many origins adopted it. To imply that the SS and all of the legitimate Nazis of WW2 were German is a groundless and false statement, as there were may different nationalities in its ranks. So yes, like you I don't view Nazis as German, as that is simply an ignorant viewpoint to take and furthermore promotes an unhealthy bias concerning this dilemma.
we show mercy, monster do not. so as long as we show mercy to monsters we wont become the things we fight to keep out
The final part of this chapter, all I could think of was a modified quote from Avengers...
Bishop glared at Dixon, "Oh yeah? Go get your gun!" he tempted Dixon
*Explosion rocks the building, sending Dixon and Bishop to the ground. Quickly, the Bishop picks his heads back up, and looks into Dixon's face again, "Go get you gun!"
No mistakes that I can see. Good job!
*Sigh* I hate people who view all german soldiers as evil. We commited as much war crimes as they did, *holocaust camps not included, was mostly secret and only certain SS guards worked there* Most prison camps the american soldiers and german soldiers were put in were similar, and the US soldiers sometimes took no prisoners, as much as the germans did not. Than again, they are US soldiers... nevermind
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate the name 'Dixon'? Fucking Dixon...
(No offense to any Dixons out there)
Why isn’t there a profanity tag even though there is a lot of cussing going on in this story? You might want to consider adding one
