The First Battle
The First Battle
All hopes of a good night's sleep when Twilight was violently awaken by a very loud shout:
"Для матушки-России!"
That sounded familiar, and it was soon followed by a roar of many men.
Suddenly the alarm sounded, then more shouts, English. Then Darren, burst through her tent entrance, in full battle gear, and his gun, a big 417 assault rifle.
"Up, up, up, we're under attack, go, go, go!"
Gunshots were beginning to ring out, shouts, screams, and mortar fire. The space two tents away from Twilight and Darren burst in an explosion of rocks and shards of wood, and filled Twilight's tent with a bright, orange light. A shard of wood embedded itself in the post in the center of Twilight's tent with a deep thunk.
"NOW!" Darren roared, and snatched up the quivering unicorn.
Twilight had promised herself that she wouldn't freak out when this happened, but she failed herself. When Darren stepped outside, still carrying Twilight, there was a close shout:
"Oтмирать Американские!"
Darren dropped Twilight, turned, and raised his gun just in time to block a swinging hatchet. It would be in his skull if he had moved a millisecond closer.
Darren wrenched the gun towards the ground, a motion which pulled the hatchet from the Russian soldier's hands and threw it to the ground. The soldier, who for some reason wanted to use the hatchet instead of the gun strapped to his back, grabbed for it, but Darren grabbed him by the throat and threw him backwards onto the ground.
What happened next made Twilight think twice about Darren's kindness. She knew that it was what he had to do, but it still disturbed her.
Darren raised his weapons, and unloaded half of the clip into the soldier's chest, sending blood in large geysers spatting through the air and all over Darren, and causing the body of the soldier shudder and spasm under the impacts of the large, hollow-point rounds. He turned to face Twilight, his face spatted with thick blood, and swooped in and picked her up yet again.
The camp was in flames for the most part. Flames, gunshots, and more explosions. Darren rocketed behind a destroyed wall and set Twilight down.
"Listen, I can't protect you all of the time, you're going to have to fight at some point, I know that you don't want to, I don't want you to have to, but it will happen at some point." He spoke quite rapidly.
Twilight understood. Then, Darren watched as the looks of uncertainty and fear on her face was replaced by a hard look of determination. She nodded.
Darren smiled. "That's my girl, now, let's go, we need to regroup at the HQ."
Darren peeked over the barrier, and, seeing that no enemy soldiers were near, left cover. He then motioned for Twilight to follow. She crept towards him, and they both took off, weaving their way through the aftermath of the battle. (The main one had moved to the other side of the camp)
They got closer, and closer to the Head Quarters, which was right next to the school. They had almost made it, when they rounded the corner and stared right into the eyes of three Russian soldiers. There was an entire second of complete silence, then Darren made the first move. He moved and knocked the gun out of the closest soldiers hand, grabbed his neck, and forced him into the next closest soldier, knocking them both the ground.
Ironically, it seemed that Twilight's first real fight would come sooner than thought. One soldier remained, and his bayonet was trained directly at Darren. Twilight didn't think, she just ran, ran with her head pointed down. There was a sickening thunk and warmth streamed down Twilight's forehead. There were two gunshots nearby, they startled Twilight, and her head jerked. A rending sound, and more warmth.
"Что...за...хрень?" The soldier was still alive. Darren moved up behind him and quickly snapped his neck.
Twilight quickly scuttled back, and managed to doge the latest stream of dark warmth. She couldn't see.
She felt strong hands grasp her, and a pair of thumbs wiped the gunk which was a mixture of blood, pus, and stomach content from her eyes. The smell was revolting.
"Go, now, hurry, we're almost there."
Twilight refrained from looking back, and wisely so.
There was a large group of soldiers inside of the HQ, and Twilight and Darren were two of them. Everyone looked worn and tired. A man that Twilight had yet to see climbed up to the front of the room, and began to speak.
"I am General Maverick, as you all know, and, also as you all know, our little camp here has been assaulted by a company of Russian soldiers. Now, of course, they're no going to take it. There are about seventy soldiers here now, fifty in the school next to us, and three groups of twenty in strategic places around the camp. Guess what? We are going to push these bastards out of out happy little home, and..."
As the General spoke, two soldiers began passing around something. They appeared to be large cans. Twilight didn't think much of them, but when Darren saw them, his eyes widened, and a smile spread across his face, and for a moment, the battle faded away. Then Twilight's happiness at seeing Darren so happy was replaced by curiosity.
"What's in those big cans?"
Darren turned to her, "You'll see, here..."
Darren grabbed two immediately cracked one open and began drinking. As he was still quaffing the drink, he tossed the other can into Twilight's magic.
She used her magic to move the can so that she could see it. There were to red-colored bulls that appeared as if they were clashing on front. She couldn't read English yet, (written Equestrian is a bit different than English) so he shrugged, opened the can, and began to drink.
It was revolting, absolutely revolting, and Twilight spat the contents out immediately. But....she found herself taking more and more sips from the can as the General's speech went on...for some reason...it was good now.
"Nothing beats a can of Red Bull, does it?" Darren asked.
Ah. Red Bull. So that's what it was.
"No energy drinks in Equestria huh? A shame, I love them."
"Does Coffee count as an energy drink?" Twilight asked.
"Uhh...I don't think so, they're usually sodas. Hey, that there has more caffeine than any coffee, except the big espressos, I think, so, I like it."
Twilight smiled. Caffeine.

I love the way you ended that last paragraph there is just something about it that I like.
Also Twilight would be the obvious choice if you wanted a pone to be a caffiene addict. She works all night and day so she must drink alot of coffee.
Cant wait for the next chapter I love this story so much!

logic
Judging by "The Training" and "The first battle" - again сliched Russians... Again... Just fucking again. Plus, if you don't want to look like an idiot for the ones who can understand Russian language (me, for example), please, don't use google translator for a complicated language like that. Really, the phrases on Russian you wrote... Well, they are just senseless.
