6th of June 1944
Pony Green Sector, "Ponmaha" Beach
The landing crafts that carried the Equestrian Army Rangers made their short journey to the shore, crashing through the waves. Captain Twilight Sparkle was barking out orders while Fluttershy cried. Sergeant Applejack, totally relaxed, munched on an apple. Rarity was trying her best at not getting her uniform dirty. Rainbow Dash smirked, almost saying "This will be easy!" with her smile.
Pinkie Pie laughed, "I'm so nervouscited!"
Applejack -after finishing her apple- reminded the others on the craft "Ponies! Remember what I say! When we reach the beach, five ponies is a juicy opportunity. One pony is a waste of ammo for the bucking son-of-a-mare Sombra's MG crews! Keep it spread out!"
Hearing this, Twilight added a sentence. "All troops will regroup once we land. Pegasi, do NOT fly. Good luck everypony!"
That was the last sentence coming from Twilight before the shriek of the whistle and the creaking of metal as the ramp went down. The landing craft was filled with red confetti. Except it wasn't a party. Blood and flesh flew through the air as King Sombra's MG crews fired mercilessly onto the ponies below them.
"Over the side now!" Twilight hollered before throwing herself over the edge of the landing craft.
The heavy equipment dragged some down into the depths of the ocean. MG bullets picked others off. Those who survived made their way to the hedgehog defenses, hoping to find some protection from the bullets of the machine guns. As Twilight waded ashore, she watched, stunned by the scene of devastation before her eyes. A green pony carrying a flamethrower was engulfed in flames, shortly before exploding into a red shower of blood that rained down onto Twilight. A soldier picked up a limb that was blown off by mortar fire with his hoof. Ponies were dying all around Twilight, writhing and falling. The sea around her was becoming red, colored by the blood coming from the bodies of dead ponies. A mare lay on the ground screaming and helpless, with the contents of her abdomen on the sand. Somepony was shouting, only when Twilight turned to the pony, she realized that the Ranger was trying to say something to her.
"I said, what the hell do we do now ma'am!?" the pony demanded.
Twilight replied with nothing.
Applejack shouted for Twilight, "Get Sparkle! Get Sparkle!"
"Move your ponies off the beach! Now!" Twilight responded to Applejack.
Applejack gave a quick nod and rapped out an order. "Ok ponies, get on my plot and follow me!"
"What's the rallying point?!" the same pony asked.
"Anywhere but here! It's hell!" Twilight replied in desperation. "Tell you what! We'll have the rendezvous point be the sea wall!"
"Heck no! This hedgehog is the only thing I have between me and Celestia!" a pony protested.
"Suit yourself!" Twilight argued back. "We've been pre-sighted by spotters so if you stay here, you can take mortar shells to your body. You want that?!"
"Ponies, go, go, go! To the sea wall!"
Before Twilight was about to leave, a scream of pain came from a pony.
It was First Lieutenant Caramel, downed with a bullet in his body. "Help me, I'm hit low goddamn it hurts! Get me out of here! Please!" He pleaded.
"Medic! Medic!" Twilight shouted.
Nopony came.
"Come on Caramel," Twilight started to move up, struggling under his weight, "We'll get you fixed once I get to that stupid sea wall!"
