Authors note: here is the chapter starting the beginning of COD references, as well as Stallionist ponies. Oh, and an old face from a call of duty returns…..you'll see…..enjoy.
Chapter 4 tanks, troopers, and talking ponies
"OK" Marcus started "so what you guys..."ponies" a random horse said. Marcus growled "OK, what you PONIES are telling us is the covenant is recruiting ponykind to fight us, and unicorns know magic, they kidnapped your princess, and all the cake is gone."
"Yes" the pony crowd replied. "And that the Pegasus ponies joined the covenant and a select number of unicorns did also". "Yes" they replied again. "And normal ponies want to help the UNSC fight the covenant as well as, again, a select few unicorns".
"Yes" they replied again. Marcus stopped, turned and asked "why? Why help us?" pinkie pie screamed "YOU HAVE PARTYS!" Cole looked at the pink pony, it looked higher that a stoner convention in California on 4/20. However, applejack stepped up and almost yelled "NO! It's not because of parties, it's because they killed Fluttershy! And we will have are revenge for her and the mother land Equestria! "URA!" the other ponies screamed.
All the UNSC personnel were uncomfortable now that they found Stallionist ponies (shitty pun. Ha-ha.) All right, who knows the most about magic? Marcus asked "because we need to be able to counter it if we want to succeed". All the ponies looked and said at the same time "twilight sparkle".
"NO NO, not a type of vodka, a person who knows magic!" Marcus stated. "But, that's the name of the unicorn that knows the most magic" applejack said. She lives in the tree library in the center of town, but ever since the covenant kidnapped celestia, she has hidden in her house, not steppin' out for anypony.
CPT. Beers stood up "I know how we can get her out; remember in training how we removed bunkers?" "You shittin' me?" Marcus said. (5 min. later) "ALL RIGHT, GET THE BLACK WIDOW IN POSITION" Marcus yelled. The black widow was a version was the M808-G2 with a 147-MM heavy ALIM-class gun and is a tank killer as well as bunker buster, and is used by tank battalions. Marcus couldn't believe that they were firing a multi-million dollar railgun at a tree.
"Spike, what is that loud noise outside? It is ruining my concentration." twilight whined. I don't know, I see aliens and ponies gathering, and a big black thing with a long trunk or something is moving and pointing at the house I don't know what-CRAAACK! An ear-splitting sound filled the air, as a large line of light busted into the library, right where spike was standing. In her daze she saw black-clad forms enter and pull her out, being dragged to a destination unknown, as her friends were watched her, and she then blacked out.
Rainbow had been trained as a fast-attack troop for hit-and-runs on enemy convoys, as well as recon, simply because the grunt major hated her, and would "rather be raped by cows" than have dash touch a tank ever again. She was told "hold the gun like this, and the bullets come out of that end" that was her training and the major added "if we get any plasma weapons in, we are going to ditch these human-designed weapons, they are much too heavy for you troops". Dash thought it was a lie because everypony in her brigade gabbed about "her plasma pistol or plasma rifle the major gave them" while she lugged a heavy hunk of metal, called a "BAR", she could barely fly because of it, and she was a told to be fast-recon?
She looked down at ponyville, command told her to ask the other ponies if they wanted to join, and she was ordered to do so, and command claimed "no was not an answer". She swooped and landed in the square, only to see major changes here too. There where guns like the "bar" and "1919" set up around the square, and tanks bigger than there Kiger mustangs parked in cover, all the ponies looked mad as hell, and a big hole was on the side of the library, humans must have caused this, she thought. She managed to talk to the mayor trying to see if they would help the covenant, but was quickly told "no, we are loyal to the protectors of Equestria, the humans".
Dash was mind-fucked, the command claimed the humans wanted to make dog food out of them, but the ponies claimed otherwise! She went to a café to have lunch after her visit with the mayor, to see what to do next. -
"Ok, we got this "twilight sparkle" out, so command told us to fix the hole in the tree now" Marcus ordered…it was ideas command made like this that caused so many deaths in the hmn-cvnt war. They had to get a drill and re-attach wood, and chunks of a dragon back together to make it seem like nothing happened. He found his hand reaching for his pistol to shoot himself again, as Mendez started talking about how he now had an urge to eat a pig, but he then made his hand pick up some super-glue to fix bits of dragon back together.
He had to bring a mythical creature back from the dead, and wield wood back in place on a tree, if it weren't for "master chief" earth would have been fucked with this kind of command.
Applejack was ecstatic that the humans would help them, and possibly arm them, but they needed a leader, someone who had seen many wars before this, and only one pony fit this description, he lived in the mountains, bordering ice ridge and everfree forest.
Applejack had been a friend to him for quite a while, when he was bitter over the loss of his friend, after he was killed in barklin after the fight with the diamond dogs, he was the only veteran that didn't kill himself. This pony was victor ridinoff, SGT. In the 3rd shock herd. As applejack walked past the everfree forest, she saw a smoking alien fighter, what the brutes called "banshees". It had been shot out of the sky, and crashed into the ground…it looked like it got hit by an explosive, as she neared ridinoff's home, dead grunts and destroyed covenant tanks littered the area, some still on fire, with half-dead drivers on the ground, squirming around, trying to get up to run for help.
She then caught sight of the "house" he had, it had a 20-foot fence topped with barbed wire, and had an MG port by the front door…it was very "inviting" for guests, which he clearly had lots of lately. She quietly snuck in the fence, noting a pair of eyes peeking out of a barred window, and then disappearing. She hadn't even knocked on the door before a gun was in her face and ridinoff was yelling "WHAT DO YOU WANT! SURRENDER OR MERCY NEGOTIONS? Well, if you came for mercy, go find a priest…."
Applejack simply replied "I took care of you, after the fall of barklin, and comforted you after the loss of Dmitri petrinko, I'm applejack, remember ridinoff? He lowered his gun, and looked up in thought, and he then yelled "YOUR MASON!" in shock.
Applejack then went on to explain more and more until he simply said "oh, you're that one pony. What do you want? Do you want me to tell war stories? Fuck up brainwashing? Preach lectures to unicorns?" "no," applejack started "we need you to lead ponies into battle against a menace worse than diamond dogs, against something that will have ponies fighting ponies, and 2 alien races fighting on the lands of mother Equestria, can you do that ridinoff?" she turned around "ridinoff? Where are you?" she looked around until a pony covered in weapons of all types walked in "yes, AJ, I am ready, to avenge all ponykind, for Dmitri, you, and…and somebody else...Give me a name, I can't think of any."
"Fluttershy" applejack stated. "uh, okay, and Fluttershy as well, all the enemy will perish….who are we fighting? Those aliens who were at my house yesterday? "Yes" was applejacks reply. "Very well, I AM victor ridinoff, and I will have MY REVENGE! IT WILL BE THEIR LAND, THEIR PONYS, AND THEIR BLOOD!" apple jack last remembered herself screaming "URA!"
Authors note: victor reznov was a god in cod history, so I figured I should add him for reasons that make sense only to me…he will play a major part. I swear it. Oh, spoiler: spike doesn't die. Just saying.'
Have fun and leave a review! –Blackburn
