> Battlepony 3 > by Rainbow|Dash > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 - Intro/Operation Ponybreaker > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This was her last day in Ponyville before she was shipped off to basic training, Twilight Sparkle was walking over to her library, when she heard somepony shouting her name from behind. Twilight turned to look behind her and saw a ivory colored pony trotting toward her. It was Rarity. The pale purple mare halted, and waited for Rarity to come to her. Twilight pondered as to why she was in such a rush to see her until she was suddenly laying on the ground by a cyan colored pegasus. Twilight and Rainbow Dash stood up, as Rarity stopped in front of them. The cyan mare spoke out. "Gee, sorry Twi! I needed to speak with you before we go to basic tomorrow" Rainbow Dash said. "So did I my dear Twilight. We need to be ready to go, The Mareines are no laughing matter!" Rarity said. "It's okay Rainbow, and yes we do. Where are Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy at right now?" Twilight stated. "That's why i came to you." Spoke the cyan pegasus. " I don't know where they could be!" "Ah! Pinkie is holding a party over at Sugarcube Corner!" Rarity spoke. "They are helping her prepare the party for us!" Rarity said with glee. "I have taken the liberty of informing the two of you of this. We must certainly attend! Everyone we know will be there! Including Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!" Twilight's face began to light up with joy. She knew that having a party the princesses would attend would be important and fun! Twilight wanted her last day in Ponyville to be fun and enjoyable, especially when there was party Celesta would attend. "What time is the party at?" Rainbow Dash asked. "At 8:00 tonight" Rarity said. "Do not be late!" As she started trotting away. "Goodbye ladies!" "Cya Rarity" Rainbow said. "See ya Twi! I'm going to go pack up my things for tomorrow" "Okay see you later Rainbow!" As the pegasus left with a rainbow streak. Twilight started to trot to her home to gather her item's for tomorrow as well as for tonight. She grinned. Tonight was going to be a good night, she thought. Twilight smiled and continued her trot to her home. ----3 months later---- The squad had left the weight room to the mess hall. They had got in line to grab some chow, grabbed their tray's and the server scooped beans, handed them a piece of bread, and placed broccoli on the veggie part of the tray. Rainbow Dash was the first to sit at their squad's table, joined by Twilight Sparkle then sat down Applejack followed by Pinkie Pie. Rarity and Fluttershy soon joined them. "So we are getting deployed in 2 weeks... Over on the shit side of iran... Buckin' bummer." Rainbow dash said. "At least we are getting the hell out of here... Heh heh!" Twilight said with a cheap smile. "So... Dia... what are you so quiet for?" Pinkie pie said. "I'm a little nervous... the iran reigion is infested with the damn PLR!" Rarity said sounding a bit out of tune. The squad gave each other nickname 's based on personality. Rarity's being "Diamond"... Twilight's being "Starboard"... Rainbow Dash's was "Fireflight"... Applejack's was "Workhorse"...Pinkie's was "LoudandProud"... and Fluttershy's was "Animal". They were happy about their nicknames. They enjoyed working as a squad in their training. The company they were assigned to was "ZuluPony". The company's leader was Sargent Rolling Thunder. The Mareine's had made an exception for the 6 of them to be a squad of six instead of a standard of four. They were the Elements of Harmony after all! The particular squad was a recon classified squad, meaning they were to scout out the area for the rest of the company and part of the platoon. They would be first to go and check out the area to make sure it was safe. "Hay ya'll, don't get scared... we all are gonna be fine" Applejack said. "Thank's workhorse, that make's me feel an ounce better" Rarity said in a sarcastic tone. "Ya'll are quite welcome!" Applejack laughed. "Enough you two, we better get back to the barracks, Sargent Colt is gonna get pissed that we will be out pass curfew." Twilight said. ----5 weeks later---- Operation Ponybreaker Twilight sat with her squad mares in an armored vehicle, suddenly a voice came on her earpiece along with the rest of the squads earpiece's. "We are stopping just up ahead squads" Spoke Sargent Colt on the com. "Why the buck are we stopping here in this shit stain?" Rainbow said. "I don't know Fire. Why are we putting down here" Twilight spoke to rainbow and colt. "MS i have no further information, just meet me for briefing." Colt had said. "Hay open up the doors!" Twilight commanded to the drivers. The rear doors on the vehicle opened. The squad stepped out, one by one. The beaming rays of the sun shining on them in full gear made them hot and sticky. They started to trot over to their Sargent. "Ever wonder how this place get so bucked up all the time?" Rainbow dash said. "I don't know i just work here Fireflight." Said Rarity. The squad reached their destination. The objective currently was to see what they were going to scout. "Your our quick reaction force mare's, I need this area scouted and secured. Radio for fire teams to enter to help claim the area after you have scouted it". Sargent Colt said. The squad examined the mapped area needed to be claimed. "Alright Mare's lets get this over with." Twilight said "This way girls... Through here!" Fluttershy said standing next to a gate. The squad double timed it through the gate and into an alleyway. Once they reached the end of the alley, they made a right into a school building. "Huh... looks like a buckin school!" Rainbow dash said. "Somthin' ya'll never went ta" Chuckled Applejack. As they made it into another fence gate, a bit bigger than the other one. "Why I oughta..." She was cut off by Pinkie Pie. "Get into cover!" Pinkie Pie Whispered "Sounds like an approaching vehicle." The squad quickly got behind a dumpster waiting for the vehicle to pass. It was a PLR technical vehicle composed of a beat up pick up truck and a large machine gun mounted on the back of it. The squad got out of cover and walked toward the gate and looked onto a street. They saw nothing. That was the issue. Nothing to move into cover with out being noticed. They would be exposed to any PLR watching the street. Worst would be the technical turning back and mowing the fire team down. They had to act fast. "There's no cover. We will be exposed! We need to get across!" Rarity said. "There! Half through the door and the other half through the alley next to the building. Clear out any hostiles, we will see each other on the other side of the building." Rainbow Said. "We will need to be quick though." "Okay Diamond, Workhorse, and Animal will go through the alley, Rest of us will move though the building" Twilight Said. "Move it Mareines!" Said rainbow. Rainbow and Fluttershy flew to their designated spots, ready to go into the area. The rest of the group caught up with them. Rainbow breached the door and readied her assault rifle, while Twilight held up her carbine, and Pinkie held her sniper rifle up. The building was clear. Rainbow and Twilight opened a garage door while Pinkie was watching their backs. The rest of the squad moved though the alley and met up with them in the garage. Applejack was standing outside looking around for any hostiles, when she was on the ground crying in pain in mere seconds. "SNIPER!" Yelled Rarity. "GET HER ASS INSIDE NOW!" Twilight demanded. "RADIO COLT FOR A MEDIC SQUAD" "I gotcha Workhorse... Your gonna be fine trust me" Rainbow said pulling her squad mare. "MAH FUCKIN' LEG IS BLEEDIN' OUT!" Applejack yelled over the firefight happening right outside of the garage. Quickly the rest of the squad got into cover and eliminated all enemy hostiles. Except the sniper who hid after hitting Applejack. A medical squad showed up just in time and started to patch up Applejack. "We will take care of her, just provide some covering fire over us when we cross the street back to the platoon." One of the other squad mates said. "Okay but we have to take out the buckin' sniper first." Rainbow said. "Radio us when your ready then" As one of the other squad's mate said while he closed the garage door. The squad kicked in a door and ran up a flight of stairs. "You think Workhorse is gonna be fine?" Said Fluttershy. "Don't Worry Animal, she's a tough son of a bitch!" Said Pinkie Pie. The squad entered a room that had small windows on the side where the sniper was camping at. Rarity walked up first to go across the room. A shot flew right by her. The whole squad started to sprint towards the other side of the room while being shot at. Luckily all of them got across safely, when a door flew open and two PLR guys walked through and were dropped instantly. The squad walked though the door, and up more stairs until they the reached the roof. "Okay move from cover to cover, don't buck up guys, we can't have any losses here." Twilight said. Twilight moved, then Fluttershy, followed by Pinkie, and Rarity. Shots were fired towards them. "That's a fuckin' fifty girls!" Rainbow said. "Fuck! GO GO GO.... Shit!" Pinkie said when she barely made it into their next cover. "Okay we are gonna get down right there. Twilight, give Pinkie the AT4... shes the best shot!" Demanded Fluttershy. "Sounds like a plan... we are gonna put down some suppressing fire, so don't fuck up Pinkie!" Said Twilight. They slid into the position designated by Fluttershy. They knew the situation was serious, any mistake would fuck them over... hard. It had to be perfect. "3...2...1... SUPPRESSING FIRE!" Yelled Rainbow dash while firing at the sniper. The rest of them joined in as Pinkie aimed at her target, and fired at the bastard. The whole area where the sniper was at was completely destroyed. "WOO-HOO...Fuck yes!" Yelled Fluttershy as she jumped for joy. "HELL YEAH BABY, THAT WAS THE SHIT RIGHT THERE!" Shouted Rainbow Dash. "Okay lets check the street now" Said Twilight. The squad looked over at buildings and the street itself. They gave the okay to move across the street when a shot was fired from an balcony the PLR popped out on. The squad on the street got into very little cover they could find. The mare's had to eliminate the PLR fast. Or their friend would not make it to see them again. They started to pick one off one by one until they were all down. "Okay we are moving out, your friend is gonna be fine, have a nice day." A voice said on the com. "Let's get back to the mission girls, we need to get to the main street." Said Rarity. "This way, those fucks are probably infesting this fucking building!" Spoke Fluttershy. As she flew to grab a board from a building right next to the building they were on. Fluttershy lay the board on both buildings creating a bridge from the building they were on to another one they could use to get down on. They walked across and rainbow being the last one kicked it off into the drop that was below them. They quickly scaled the buildings until they reached the ground. They moved into a nearby alleyway into another building. The building was cleared out of PLR after they got though to the main street. Pinkie checked a nearby friendly vehicle. "Oh horseapples! We got dead and wounded here, Radio Colt!" Said Pinkie Pie. "That's not it I got a wire here!" Said Rarity. "FireFlight trace the wire" "Oh man i don't like this at all, were exposed and there's some activity going on here..." Twilight said. "FIREFLIGHT TRACE THE FUCKIN' WIRE NOW!" Yelled out Rarity. Rainbow did what she was instructed. She walked to a building the wire went into, and saw a duct the wire was in. Rainbow got down and crawled in to the duct. A parasprite flew through and she found the exit to the duct into a room. She hopped down, walked into a cage like room, with a desk and shelves with lots of tech to make bombs and other stuff. The box the wire was connected to had two port for two wire's. She pulled the first one. Nothing happened, except getting jumped by a PLR plothole who she beat to death. Rainbow pulled the other wire just in time, when Twilight radioed her. "HAY GET YOUR ASS UP HERE THERE'S ALOT OF THESE FUCKS OUT HERE!" Rainbow hauled it up to the surface, and saw her squad and regrouped with them. "Get the m249 up there and provide some suppression so we can get the wounded out of here" Fluttershy said to Rainbow dash. "Got it" Rainbow replied as she flew up to an overpass. Twilight was up on the overpass with Pinkie Pie firing and taking out lots of PLR. A couple of Mareine engineers had acquired a technical and needed to fix it to fire the machine gun on the back of it. Rarity was there helping them. Twilight had got pulled back to help out. While Pinkie and Rainbow were protecting the rest of the company. "The technical is good to go!" One of the mareines yelled out. "Rainbow! Get on the gun!" Twilight commanded. Rainbow dash left her LMG for the HMG on the technical. She flew over fast and swiftly. Rainbow mounted the gun and fired east of the position she was at. A loud scream was heard from Fluttershy as the ground was shaking very hard. "EARTHQUAKE" Yelled Fluttershy A building was falling down toward the mareines on the street. Soon everything in the squad's vision was dark. > Uprising/Intermission > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was dark and groggy. She was under some rubble, while slowly waking up to three ponies talking. She made out who they were. A injured mareine, a PLR soldier, and a pony dressed in nice clothing. "I'll let you chose." The pony with the clothing said. "Chose... chose what?" The mareine said with a grunt. "Live or die!" The pony said. "Live or die mister!" The PLR soldier said. The well dressed one spoke in a different language. The mareine was being picked up right under his front hooves. He screamed very loudly in pain, while they left the area. Twilight pushed the debris off of herself. She stood up and pulled out her knife. Twilight looked around the area. she noticed a path she could take, but she had to proceed with caution. PLR were everywhere in the area. The destroyed fucked up area made it easy for her to hide along the pulled up street. A voice was heard on a intercom as she was moving under a crashed helicopter. "Amareican soldiers come out! PLR will help you! Hiding will be seen as an act of aggression!" A PLR colt said. A body from a dead mareine fell out of a crashed humvee. Twilight got startled, nearly yelped. She continued until she came up to a pipe. She lay down and started to crawl through when a parasprite came out of another pipe connected to the main pipe. The little bastard started to attack Twilight. She swatted it away, raised her knife and stabbed the little thing. Eventually she reached the end of the pipe and stood up and trotted over to a door and opened it quietly and walked in the building. PLR were in there, the one closest to her was stabbed in the neck. He dropped his gun. Twilight picked it up and slid into cover behind a flipped table. The PLR guys saw her and started firing at her. Twilight fired back at them. One fell and the other fell on top of him. She smiled and continued until a voice came on her com. "All units in the area, we are pulling out over at the campout area. Ospreys will be here in 10 minutes." Said the mareine on the earpiece. "Gosh, I wonder if Applejack is okay... and everyone else... wonder if they are going to go to the point... I better get going!" Twilight said as she was moving through a market. While she reached the end of the market, PLR were all over the garage Applejack was shot at. Twilight flew over to a car that was on the edge of a raised small parking lot. Twilight remembered how Applejack bucked apples of the tree's at Sweet Apple Acres when they were in Ponyville. She had a grin stretching to one ear, and bucked the car onto two PLR guys. The rest of the PLR guys in the area walked over to the car, while Twilight cooked a grenade in her hoof and tossed it upon them. The car exploded, or so they thought. Twilight dropped the rest of them retreating into the garage. She flew under the door, when the other garage door on the side where the exposed street was opened. She shot three PLR guys and moved to a wrecked bus. The floor rumbled because of a building falling on the right side of the bus. Twilight moved to the end of the buses exit door. One PLR guy limped to the alleyway and was soon lying dead. She opened the gate to the alleyway, when two PLR exited the school she was in earlier. Before they readied their rifle's they too were dead on the ground. Twilight walked into the school then into the first alleyway they entered when they got there. As she reached the end of the alleyway Rainbow Dash popped out of the gates doorway. "FREEZE MOTHERFUCKER HANDS!" Rainbow yelled. "Oh shit Starboard, am i glad to see you! In a minute this place is gonna be every mare for them self! Come on lets get the hell out of here!" Rainbow Dash said while sprinting into a nearby building. "Mike one how long until evac?" Rainbow Dash said while putting her m240B on a table. "5 minutes, do what you have to do to get here Mike One out." Said Sargent Colt. "You heard him, lets get the buck out of here!" As Rainbow left out of a door into a wide alleyway. "Mareines are getting taken and executed. Brought to you by your friendly neighborhood PLR!" Rainbow said while walking over a pile of debris. The two of them continued onto the street the evac site was on. Mareines were firing at PLR all over the street. Osprey's were being heard flying to the area. A humvee sat in the street, Twilight moved over to it and entered the fifty cal on it. She fired at multiple PLR enemy's trying to advance while the osprey's were flying over them. One osprey was landing until an RPG was spotted in a PLR soldier's hooves aimed at the osprey. "RPG" Yelled one of the mareines. "We are re-positioning up ahead over." An osprey pilot said on his headset. Twilight continued mowing down the endless waves of PLR. The mareines had started to retreat to the ospreys. One osprey remained with Rainbow Dash the being the only one on board. "STAR, GET YOUR ASS OVER TO THE OSPREY!" Rainbow yelled on her com. Twilight dismounted from the humvee. She dropped her weapon and started sprinting to the osprey until an RPG knocked her on face. Messed up a bit she continued to move while mareines kept falling to the ground one by one, not moving. Rainbow held out her hooves and pulled Twilight into the duel rotor aircraft. "I gotcha buddy!" Rainbow said while pulling Twilight up. "We are out of this shithole!" Twilight said with a small grin. The ospreys took off and headed back to base. ----2 days later---- Fort Ponydagger The five uninjured mare's stood over their fiend laying in a hospital bed. They were talking to each one another about their next mission, and about their fiend's condition. "Applejack... how do you feel?" Fluttershy said with a hopeful grin. "Damn Animal... ah hate ta tell ya'll... ah won't be doing anymore work for a while. Two years tha doc said." Applejack said with a smile. "We are just glad you are okay Workhorse!" Rarity said. "Anyways... Colt said our platoon is going to invade a PLR airfield... They think somepony named al'hoofser is the mastermind of this shit. We are getting air support to help us claim the place. We are leaving in three hours." Twilight said. "How are we going to claim it with all the PLR being there? They've probably got like hundreds of ponies ready to kill us on sight!" Pinkie said in a panicked voice. "Fast air is going to clear out the area... We are just going to grab the HVT." Twilight said. "Okay so lets go pack our gear then!" Rainbow said with an eager expression. "Right then. See ya later Workhorse!" Twilight said. "Bye bye... don go get churselves killed ya'll hear?" Applejack said as the squad left the room. They reached the armory to pick up supplies for their mission. Each one of them grabbed what they needed. Their weapons, gear, and food and water. Twilight wanted new attachments for her m16a3. She picked up a holographic sight, a laser sight, flashlight, and an underslung m320 grenade launcher. Happy with her choices she applied them to the weapon and went with Rarity to ready the vehicles for the operation. So there you have it. Chapter 3 will be out sometime this week! Hope you enjoyed! :D > Going Hunting- Wonder 4-3's Story. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spitfire had picked up her blue helmet off of her gear table sitting below the aircraft carriers jet strip. She held the blueish helmet in her hooves as she walked out of the room's small port door. After roaming the ship's long piping and levered halls she met with her pilot. Her position in their F-18a/E fighter was weapons and co-piloting if something happened to the main pilot. Soarin had an aggravated look on his face. His sewn up wing marked that he wouldn't be able to fly as a pegesus, but as a jet pilot. "Captain says we aren't flying a regular op today." Soarin said while walking up a flight of stairs to the far right of the ship. "What are we doing today then?" Spitfire said following close behind. "We are going to provide some cover for some ground force. On a PLR air strip." Soarin replied The two engaged another flight of stairs this time to the jet strip. A crew was waiting with the steps for the ponies to hop in the F-18. Soarin got in the front seat while Spitfire got in the back. She looked at her helmet one last time before she put it over her head. She liked the color, and the lightning bolt with pegasi wings coming out from it. Just like when they were in the wonderbolts. "Close the hatch Spits." Soarin said. She grabbed the handle with both hooves. "Okay I'm gonna need you guys to check the flaps." A pony from the crew said. "You heard him Spits" Soarin said. Spitfire raised the wings up and down along with the rear one's. "They look good. Weapons next then your good for take off, 1st in line." The crew member said. "Spits, get on it." Soarin said. Spitfire checked her heat-seeking missiles, then her vulcan cannon. She also tested the countermeasures just in case. "Okay guys your guns look good your clear for take off." The crew member said. "Spits hang on to something." Chuckled Soarin. Spitfire grabbed a handle in front of her. She turned her head to her left to see the other crew of the other jet readying for their take off. Suddenly she was flung back onto her seat as the jet went full throttle off the ship. Soarin was checking to make sure they were good to fly while in the air making no mistake to circle around and see the other crew's jet take off. He caught up to them on their right side. "This is Wonder 4-3. Wonder 4-6 are you there over.?" Soarin spoke to the other crew. "This is Wonder 4-6 we got you loud and clea-" Wonder 4-6 was cut off by Soarin. "We got bogeys 11o'clock on radar guys, be alert." Soarin said to Wonder 4-6. The enemy fighters got closer, and closer until they fired at Wonder 4-6. "Break. Break!" As the jet pulled to the left and strait into the clouds. Enemy fighters lost Wonder 4-6 and went after Soarin and Spitfire. "Spits, weapons and counters!" Soarin yelled into his helmet. Spitfire pulled a weapons HUD visor over her head. She switched to her heat-seekers. "6o'clock Spits!" Soarin said. Spitfire locked onto the pursuing jet behind them, and then fired a missile. She hit her target and their jet started to fall slowly below the clouds, spiraling down with a trail of smoke. They proceeded to regroup with Wonder 4-6 in the clouds above. "There's our guys. 1o'clock." Spitfire said. "Does not look like there are any fighters on them... strange." Soarin said while piloting the aircraft towards the friendly one. "Wonder 4-6 we are pulling in right next to you over." Soarin said. "Wilco.... Wait don't hostile aircraft on the radar!" Wonder 4-6 said. "I don't see anythi- Soarin's words were cut short as the aircraft started pointing towards the ocean. "We are hit. Wonder 4-3 is hit!" Soarin said into the com. "Soarin grab the pack i'll get the weapons... Then eject... we are over land!" Spitfire said. "Okay see you down there!" As Soarin pushed the jets hatch open. Soarin had trouble with his lever. It wouldn't budge no matter what he did. "Spits, maybe i won't see you down there." Soarin voice choked and died out as he knew he was doomed. "Why not?" She said while he looked back at her. "Lever's stuck, take the pack. Don't go out of this world just yet. I'll see you in hell..." Soarin said hoofing over the pack. "Goodbye Soarin..." She teared up as she held the pack and the bag of guns. She pulled her lever. The plane was nearing the ground while she had the bag's strapped to her parachute harness. A loud explosion and ball of fire was on the ground surrounded by flaming pieces of the jet. Soarin's death bed. Moments later Spitfire landed with a little "oof". She got up and took the harness off. The bags were opened to have 2 M.I.C.H helmets, 2 M.A.R-E Vest (complete with tactical pouches for ammo and supplies), 2 M.A.R-E saddlebags stocked with food and special supplies, and a small life raft for if they got stuck in a large body of water. The other bag contained a small tracking beacon(In case they did survive the crash), 2 m9 pistols, and 2 m4a1 carbines equipped with holographic sights, and mounted tactical flashlights. Spitfire put on the gear, activated the beacon, grabbed her weapons and took the other ammo from Soarin's guns so she could have more if she needed. She was too over cumbered to fly so she had to trot. Then it hit her like a slug shotgun round hit a target dead on. Soarin's saddlebags had camping equipment in it. No wonder she had carried all of the food. Quickly trotting back over to the bag she grabbed the bag's and unzipped them. Oh damn! He packed a tent and got an inflatable bed. She thought. Better just camp here then and wait for evac. After unpacking and setting up her campsite she looked at her watch to check the time "What. The. Buck.... 8:57pm... And I activated the damn thing two hours ago... Buck my life..." Spitfire moaned. Of course I could camp here for the night... I didn't set this shit up for nothing. But what if I'm in enemy territory. She hadn't thought about that. What if she was? Would they look for her? She had to find out but after a quick meal first. Spitfire made her dinner and ate up. She stood up and grabbed her guns and packed anything she might need to get back into Amareican hooves. The field was not to big as she looked over the area. The compass showed NW, the direction she and Soarin were going to. The airfield. She figured a fifty percent chance the Mareines took control of the airfield. Thats where she needed to go. The journey would be a few hours but she would make it.
