Chapter 3 shit got worse
"Ok, pony" Marcus said as he rubbed ice against his head, WTF is going on, if what you say is true, the brutes are trying to recruit ponies into the splinter group, and the jackals here ate your friend, and 24 will have a remake in 2 months called 48….frankly I'm calling major bullshit on the 24 part.
but other than that, it's believable…if I'm going to get any of this to pass with command, I need to know your name. The pony held out a hoof and said "m' names applejack, partner, what's yours?" Marcus found his hand reaching for his pistol again, and mumbled "command is sending me to a crazy house if I tell them this".
Before Applejack could explain about all of Equestria, an explosion outside drew their attention. Marcus barked on the radio "WHAT IS GOING ON?" a voice on the radio yelled back "we got hostile armor! Oh, and some flying ponies with bruteshot. Nothing new, oh, and the yelling was because we found economy-sized peanut butter jars. " Marcus at this point replied "open fire on hostiles" the collapsed to the ground crying about the retards his squad was made of.
After the enemies left (2 giant red birds and a mighty eagle)(angry birds FTW), or got mind-fucked by this place, a drone of pelican transports and radio traffic filled there headsets, as the first tanks got deployed on the ground "ODST's, this is the 21ST armor unit, on station. I am CPT. Beers, and we are your big brother to keep you kids in line, are you ready to go, helljumpers?" As if by reflex, one of the ODST's yelled, "After we learn more about the ponies!" a laugh so loud went though the radio, one of the jumper's went deaf and called for E-VAC. After the laughter died down, the helljumpers showed the tankers applejack, upon realizing there were talking ponies, Cole commented how he will never be able to look at a horse ever again. Mendez was now running down the road with a saddle, calling it "horse bondage" and threatening to kill all the cowboys on earth. Ah, Marcus though, well, besides that Mendez is insane now, we still have a war to finish. -
After the loaded up, the tank div and ODST unit was on the move, crushing the enemy strong points applejack told them about, and she was hell bent on liberating "ponyville" whatever the hell that is Marcus thought.
They tank unit had 10 MBTS, 2 flamethrower tanks, 3 APCS, and a combat engineer unit as well as a "black widow" tank-killer, which had a 147-mm rail gun on the scorpion chassis, an over-kill, Marcus thought. As they rolled up to ponyville, apple jack finished explaining the low-down "...and after they landed, they took over stalliongrad, and threatened the princess, and has, according to the message spike sent just before you arrived, they tried recruiting ponies to join them and as I said earlier that Pegasus ponies have joined the covenant, as well as some of the unicorns, so you should know that the town will most likely be filled with ponyfolk and those apes, and the apes will most likely try to kill the ponyfolk, so swat there hind's back to the cave they came from." Most of the marines and tankers still were in shock from talking ponies, and Mendez was smoking a joint to calm himself, muttering about horses, sex, and dead cowboys. -
As they neared ponyville, the brutes launched some wraiths and banshees to defend the town, and the helljumpers got off the tanks and hid as the tanks sped into battle, doing formations to charge into town, absolutely destroying the covvies. As infantry started going for a large house to shoot back at the tanks, the flamethrower tank drove up to a there cover and fired it's flamethrower, a graceful looking orange stream flew, hitting its target and incinerating the brutes and unfortunate ponies in the area, and the helljumpers looked in awed horror as flaming, screaming brutes and horses ran, until the succumbed to their fiery deaths as the tanks rolled into the town.
The normal MBTs open up with their MG's, turning anything in sight into bloody bits, The helljumpers then ran into the city, to make sure there weren't any brutes or grunts with FRG's waiting for the tanks, and applejack ran to a big house made in a tree in the town's center area. In the courtyard, ponies ran as the ODST's entered the square.
A rumbling behind a fence caught their attention as a pair of hunters smashed through and went to the center of the yard and opened fire, instantly killing half a dozen or more ODSTs, just as the hunters charged up another burst to kill the rest of them, over the radio they heard: COLE TRAIN BITCH! And suddenly in a badass way Cole's MBT burst into the square and ground up the hunters with its treads, splattering the square with gore.
HELL YEAH! Was the only thing Marcus could say, as he'd never seen a hunter get road killed before...By a tank, at least. Before they could look around, brutes and grunts ran out of the hole the hunter made, guns blazing. The ODSTs went to cover, but not before having a few of Marcus's men getting gutted by spiker's, their entrails lying on the multi-colored stones lining the ground
"OPEN FIRE, SHOW THESE BASTARDS WE MEAN BUSNIESS!" Marcus screamed, as the chatter of the MBT's 50-cal rang in the background. The ODST squads stepped from cover, MA5B's roaring as the aliens fell in bloody heaps, and the heavy cross-fire they had tore everything in front of them apart, until they heard the metallic click as the bolt on their guns went back and the collective clattering of spent mags and shells hitting the ground. All the aliens were in bloody chunks, with red and blue blood painting the canvas of the dead on their side of the courtyard, nil one wounded, bleeding out grunt, trying to crawl to cover. Marcus ran up, and lanced the grunt on his MA5's bayonet, splattering blood and bone on his face, as he turned and said "out-fucking standing, if we keep this up, the town will be ours in an hour, parker set up some MG'S, sanders set up the AT guns so we can get at least 3 angles of fire to keep wraiths out. The rest of you guys, find the cowards where ever they hide, MOVE OUT!" -
As rainbow dash landed in stalliongrad, it looked much different then she last remembered, as last time corpses weren't strewn about, and aliens with gun emplacements weren't on every nook and cranny, and broadcasts on TVs about how "Basilius is always right" as well as training for combat duty videos as the never were TVs here before, it wasn't a town it was a fortress.
"YOU" a brute yelled as dash walked in the square, dash looked at him and said "huh? What do you want?" the brute replied "you need to get to the training and arming area to be acquainted on your new tools to fight the humans"
in confusion dash screamed "WHAT ARE HUMANS! I NEVER HEARD OF THEM, BUT YOU WANT THEM DEAD? SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAN TO ME WHAT IS SO BAD ABOUT THEM!" The brute shifted his weight "well, humans are heretics that destroyed the holy rings, killed the holy hierarchs, and turned the bastardly elites on us, and also made the demon. Got it? If not, the grunt over there can explain in depth, after his translator starts up"
dash looked at the grunt, which was holding a purple box, with a small port on its sides the grunt talked into the box, and a strange voice came out "you gotta a purty mouth….let's see yah use it" both dash and the brute had WTF on their face, the brute asked the grunt "what did you say!" the grunt squeaked "hello, how are you" is all I said! the brute took the translator and looked at presets for words and under "human/terran/English" some of the presets they were: 1) can I get you a drink, baby 2) you got a purty mouth, let's see yah use it 3) I promise I got the rubbers….
The brute looked at the grunt, and the grunt instantly yelled "me found this in the captains room, along with more "grunt-y" things he call "recreation" and "interrogation" tools!, I just saw translator and took it. It had instruction, I follow, and that come out, it not my fault, please don't feed me to jackals!
The brute understood, almost cringing "fine, I will not feed you to the jackals, because the captain would feed me to them too, for knowing such…concerning oddities about him." The brute turned to dash "you go to the training area so we can outfit you to fight, they can explain there about humans." Dash nodded, but before she left she asked the grunt "so, do you really want to see my mouth in action?" the grunt said what everyone present and reading this story is thinking: WTF? Is Blackburn fucking crazy! -
After dash left the grunt's barracks, wiping her mouth off, she followed the signs stained with blood to "training barracks" where a pissed off grunt major wearing a cracked ODST helmet was screaming at the ponies to get there gear off the racks, dash looked at the rack and picked up a heavy device with 2 blades on it, and it was fixed to fit her hoof perfectly, as she also got some strange armor, which according to the grunt, was "very resilient, however will not stop death" also on the wall racks were large, stranger looking guns.
Upon asking about the guns, the grunt said "when we invaded the human homeworld, Basilius's pack stole plans of human weapons from a place called "GWL arms" and the guns were re-created to the exact copies of their plans, except the handles and triggers, modified for pony/covenant use, the large gray one is called "browning 1919 (7.62)" it is mostly for defense, as it is too heavy for flying ponies to use in flight the next one is a "SMAW A-T" it is for destroying human tanks, a "1918 browning automatic rifle" it was re-designed to be light weight so it can be fired when flying, another weapon is the "MP-5" it is the weapon we will issue you because of its low kick, and easy-to-control it combat areas. Be in the range in 5 minutes after you get accustomed to your armor the grunt commanded "if you aren't I will hunt you down and make you watch "Spiderman 3". You will get corrosive diarrhea from it. True story." -
In the target range the ponies took turns shooting off guns until they knew how to hit targets 100 feet away. A brute walked in and talked to the grunt, telling him "the type-2019 is ready" the grunt called all the ponies outside for tank training, as the lined up outside, the grunt began "you dirtbags are being trained for use of the type-2019 MD-T tank, so you can fight the humans with armor, all ponies must take this training, and those with high scores in competence for the tank will be signed up for permanent duty in tanks.
however as a liberty, you may name these types of tanks, starting…..NOW!" the ponies huddled up and whispered names, one pony stood up "KIGER MUSTANG" it sounds COOL! The grunt looked and stated "ok…..NOW GET YOUR FUCKING ASSES IN THE TANKS SO WE CAN TRAIN" as the day pasted by, rainbow crashed her tank 117 times, braking it's suspension, as well as destroying the CO's barracks and the grunt's bottle cap collection. The grunt major looked at her and almost cried "please, never EVER even look at the tanks ever again, get back in the range, you're a frontline trooper now". After dash left, the grunt held a burial for all 51,067 bottle caps (15 years of collecting) destroyed by a single fuel rod round, and he then plotted his avengement for his bottle caps "she will pay, oh, yes indeed" he angrily thought
Authors other note: the grunt plays a major part in the second half of the book, and his bottle caps will be avenged., as for you, how's bout' you review this chapter, and rest assured, there will be much more to come, I promise.
