Equestria's Ultimate Downfall

By: Gogeta

Chapter One:

The advancement

It was a warm, peaceful, and sunny day in Equestria. As it should be most of the time every year there. But it was also a glorious day for Starscream.

Megatron is dead, Decepticons fall into Starscream's rule, and he was now going to take over the universe! He's going to start with a familiar planet as we all know as Equestria.

“SOUND WAVE! Set a course for Equestria!”

Sound wave went to his computer terminal, punched in a bunch of buttons, and then the Decepticon warship was en route to Equestria.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

At the same time, another army was growing from underneath Equestria; the Locusts. They too, want to start a conquest for Equestria.

They have their army waiting underground, and the best part is....the ponies on Equestria don't know that they are underground waiting for their queen's attack signal.

“Rise my children! Rise and take control of the surface!” The queen said.

The Corpsers started to dig through the rocky wall and dug their way to the surface of the planet.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

There was a time warp that dated back to February 3, 1945, Germany.

Hitler demanded that all of his scientists make a time warp machine. It took 3 months to build but it was in a base that caused many malfunctions to many equipment. Highly secured by many tanks, half-tracks, and infantry units guarding it 24/7.

As the Red Army drew closer to Berlin, Hitler becomes more demanding for this machine to be completed so that they will not be defeated by the whole world.

The base was thought to be cursed since the last deadly attack from the Red army but this base was well defended and some of the guards thought this place is haunted by demons and ghosts.

One day when a scientist was checking the systems to the time warp machine, he accidentally tripped on some wires and as his arms flung into the air. As he fell, his arms landed on the primary switch to the machine, pulling the switch down. The whole machine turned on and a green light appeared from the circular object and then the machine started smoking and causing some wires to be over circuited.

The machine exploded causing a major white flash throughout the whole base and the base's inhabitants disappeared without a trace.

They later regained their eye site and saw most of their machines (Tiger and Panzer tanks, machine guns, panzershrek, MGs, and rifles)

But they ended up in a unknown location; Stalliongrad, Equestria.

The begining of the end

Chapter 2:

The beginning of the End:

The Decepticon Warship entered the atmosphere of Equestria and Starscream just cant wait for the craving of battle or in his case Genocide.

“Decepticons! Ready for BATTLE!” said Starscream.

Starscream transformed and led a squadron of Seekers to Ponyville.

When he landed he said “Decepticons! Bombard this place and turn this place into rubble!”

All of the Decepticon Seekers started attacking the ponies with their weapons. Explosions going off at every street. Ponies running but then flying into the air dead and land on the ground with a pool of blood under them.

In just five minutes, half of the town was on fire and half of the town's population was dead. The Seekers made sure that the ponies were dead by stepping on them.  

The ponies retaliated and tried to defend their town by throwing pies at the Seekers. Some were accurate shots right at their eyes but it did no damage and made the Seekers madder at the ponies.

Starscream just watched on top of a nearby hill laughing at the chaos he has just started.

Their was a barrier in front of the entrance to Apple acres. Applejack, Big Macintosh, and Granny Smith defended the entrance by also throwing the pies at the Seekers. They used pots and pans as head armor and plates of metal or wood on them for protection.

One of the Seekers laughed and then he ripped the barn out of the ground and walked towards the three scared ponies.

The three ponies watched in fear too scared to react because they weren't prepared for this action. The Seeker kept walking to them with the barn in his hands and then he lifted it over his head and then he slammed it at the three ponies beneath him.  

The barn came and hit the 3 ponies. The barn crashed to the ground and it looked like a piece of shit. The seeker walked closer to the 3 ponies that were laying on the ground, bones broken, blood all over their body, hanging on to their life by a thread.

The Seeker stopped in front of them and raised his gun pointing at them. The Seeker was going to do his finishing move on them by charging his weapon and then Twilight Sparkle appeared from nowhere catching the Seeker off-guard and then she disappeared along with the three ponies.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Corpser was drilling a big hole right into the side of Canterlot. The side of the mountain started rumbling. The ponies were getting scared and they went inside their houses and locked their doors and their windows.

And then the ponies heard some screeching from the inside of the mountain. Some of the screeching was coming from the Corpser and the other part of the screeching was coming from Brumaks following the Corpsers.

Princess Luna and Celestia were getting also a little scared. But they both were standing next to each other on the castle's balcony. Rocks from the side of the mountain along with dust and pebbles were falling to the ground. The screeching was getting louder and louder.

The ponies inside of Canterlot heard rumbling from the ground like huge footsteps. And then the corpser burst through the side of the mountain to the inside of Canterlot. The corpser then backed into the darkness of the cave.

Brumaks started walking out of the cave and started shooting their rockets at the buildings. And then out of nowhere, some 5 Eradicons came and transformed into their original state.

The Brumaks were getting mad at the eradicons for interrupting their fun so the Brumaks decided to turn their fight against the transformers. It was now time for the Eradicons to have it off with Brumaks.

The Brumaks were running at the Eradicons and some of them tried to do a hand to hand fight. While other Brumaks shot the rockets at the Eradicons. The Eradicons were shooting at the Brumaks but were slow to shoot rapidly because they tried to aim. Some shots from the Eradicons were actually accurate that they shot the metal masks off of the Brumaks.

The Brumaks were getting frustrated from the Eradicons tough armor that thay decided to gang up by twos against one Eradicon.

The Grinders were now exiting the cave the corpsers created and they said “GRIND!” and they cranked their guns and started shooting at the Eradicons.

The Eradicons were now being pelted with bullets and then they were being Mortared.  

The Nazis saw a big city and didn't know where the hell they were. The Nazi general Himmler. He instructed the Nazis to bombard the city with the Flak 88s and invade the city with Panzers.

The ponies in Stalliongrad heard sounds coming from a hill on the outside of the city. The ponies couldn't easily recognize them to be ponies since they weren't standing on all four legs but instead they all were standing on two legs.

And then explosions started coming from all around them. The ponies started running and screaming for their lives. Himmler instructed the infantry units to move in and kill all of these strange creatures but capture one for information.

Within a half an hour, 3 Nazis came back with a pony that was injured but surrendered to them. Himmler had no idea to say or what to do since they looked like regular ponies but these were in different colors then the normal ones back on Earth.

To even confuse Himmler more, some looked like unicorns and pegasus.

He was thinking that maybe the machine back in the base must've screwed up his brain or something but the other Nazis were seeing the same thing. He started speaking to the pony to see if it could talk but it didn't understand him.

The pony said “Please Please don't kill me! I don't want to die. What do you want from us? What did we do to you What ever you are just leave us alone!”

Himmler pulled out a English dictionary and said “What are you?”

“I am...I'm a pony,”

“A...talking....pony?”

“Yes and what are you?”

We are the Nazis...haven't you heard of us? Wait where is this place?”

“This is Stalliongrad.”

“You mean...Stalingrad yes?”

“No Stalliongrad...where on Equestria have you been?”

“Equestria? What is Equestria?”

“Equestria is this planet.”

“Then we shall take over this planet... This planet will fall into NAZI RULE!”

“No YOU CAN'T DO THAT! Please PLEASE DONT KILL ME! AHHHH!”

Himmler pointed his pistol to the pony's face and pulled the trigger.

“Himmler then told his units to move into Stalliongrad and find a map of this planet.

Battle of the three overlords

Chapter Three:

  Battle of the Three Overlords:

Twilight Sparkle reappeared to the inside of Princess Celestia's castle. Twilight collapsed to the floor from using a lot of magic into teleporting all of her friends  to a far distance.

“Applejack are you ok?” Twilight said almost out of breath.

“Well I cant move sugar cube I think my legs are broken and my ribs.”

“I need a doctor in here!”

Four doctors came in and did some medical help to the three seriously injured ponies.

“Princess Celestia what is happening?”

“Well my student...it seems we have three evil forces that want to claim Equestria for their own”

“But..Three?”

“Yes..three..we have reason to believe another evil army has lay siege on Stalliongrad. And now they are coming here.”  

“They cant do this why now Princess?”

“I have no idea Twilight.”

“Do you have a plan?”

“Really I don't know what to do but it seems the three armies are all fighting for the same thing so if we don't defend ourself then the three armies could take each other out.”

“Smart plan but sooner or later one of them will rise against the other and kill us all. Then what do we do?”

“I'm not sure Twilight. I just don't know if we will actually make it out alive.”

“Lord Starscream, the town is in rubble, what do you wish for us to do master?”

“Assist the Eradicons in Canterlot with air support, they are being torn apart by fleshy monsters.”

“Affirmative”

“I shall take point, follow me!”

The Decepticons transformed and lifted off of the ground and headed to Canterlot.

The Eradicons were leaking energon from being hammered by the Brumaks and to make it even worse, the Reavers came and started to shoot them with their heavy cannons. The Eradicons were so weak that they were being pushed around by the Brumaks.

The locust drones started invading the whole side of Canterlot. Thousands of them just running into the city shooting at anything that was living. That included; innocent fillies and ponies.

Nemacyst were all over Canterlot spotting targets for the Nemacyst mortars to hit in particular the Eradicons.

Just then..a soaring noise was coming to them into the air fast. Bullets started coming and hitting all of the Nemacyst. They exploded into the air leaving a cloud of smoke after they exploded.

Starscream and some seekers transformed in mid-air and fell from the sky landing to their feet. The seekers started shooting at the Brumaks. Starscream ran to some of the Brumaks and did hand to hand combat while the seekers stayed back and shot them.

Starscream ran to the closest Brumak and punched his head and then did a knee kick to the Brumak's stomach. And swirled around the Brumak and elbowed really hard to the Brumak's back.

The Brumak screeched into pain and turned to Starscream. He leaned in closer and shot his rockets at him. The rockets were targeting Starscream as if they were heat seekers.

Starscream dodged the rockets and transformed his hand into a sword.

The Brumak wanted to shoot Starscream again but before the Brumak could act, Starscream cut off his cannons and then his arm. When the Brumak's arm was cut off it was spraying blood all over the place and the Brumak was screeching in pain.

The seekers diverted their fire power to the Brumak and one of the seekers shot the Brumak's helmet off. And then his other arm got shot off.

One of the other Brumaks flipped over a pony house inside of Canterlot but then Starscream repeatedly shot the Brumak's head. First the helmet got shot off but then his head got shot clean off flying over Canterlot leaking blood on top of the houses. That Brumak fell to the ground laying there dead.

And then an explosive shell hit Starscream's back and when he looked behind him, he saw a whole army but was small. Tanks were shooting at him. That army was the Nazi army planned by Himmler himself since he found out where the pony capital is. Now the Transformers, locusts, and Nazis were going at it head to head.

Half-tracks was leading the army in front followed by Panzer and Tiger tanks closely behind and the infantry units either riding on the tanks or running right after the tanks.

Elephant tanks were stationed all together at a big hill outside of Canterlot hammering the transformers. Flak 88s were on another big hill shooting at the transformers to even out the match.

Even though the Locusts and Nazis were enemies right now, they temporarily had a truce to take down the transformers to even out the match.

A corpser broke through the side of the mountain and jumped on top of a large structure (building) in Canterlot and sunk it into the ground. No ponies escaped from that sudden attack.

Transformers, Nazis, and even more locusts!

Chapter Four:

Transformers, Nazis, and even more locusts

“Princess? Where are you going in such a rush?” Said Twilight.

“I'm tired of my little ponies getting killed in this war. This is nonsense! I am going to stop this once and for all!” Replied Celestia.

“Princess!” Twilight said.

Celestia turned back at Twilight standing right behind her.

“I'm coming with you!” She said.

“So am I,” Luna said running down the stairs.

“Are you two sure you want to, despite all of the dangers that lay ahead of us?”

“Yes!” Twilight said.

“Yes!” Luna said.

“Okay then follow me,” Celestia said as she stormed out of the castle.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Starscream was going against all of the Brumaks but he couldn't because he was being pelted by bullets by a thousand Locust Drones on one side and Panzer and Tiger tanks on the other side. He was resorted to standing in the middle of the battle shielding his face with his arms from the bullets and missiles.

Two vehicles drove into Canterlot. One of the vehicles color was bluish and it was a fairly big vehicle probably as big as a hummer. The other vehicle was reddish but was smaller then the blue vehicle.

Both vehicles drove faster and faster and then they both transformed into Decepticons. It was Breakdown and Knockout.

Breakdown used his cannon that was attached to his shoulder to bomb the hell out of the locust drones while he pummeled the Brumaks.

Knockout was shooting at the Nazi tanks and half-tracks.

Starscream saw the chance to retreat as a coward he is so he transformed and flew into the sky disappearing over the purplish horizon.

Breakdown used his hammer and swung it underneath a Brumak's chin causing the Brumak to fly upward into the air screeching in pain.

Knockout went up to a Brumak and put his gun right to the Brumak's stomach and repeatedly kept on shooting until the bullets went right through the stomach and out the back with ease.

The Brumaks shot their rockets at Knockout. He saw the rockets coming to him and he tried to dodge them but he was too slow which ended up in him getting pelted by rockets. One of the other Brumaks ran up from behind Knockout and then it hit Knockout to the ground.

Two Corpsers came and jumped on top of the fallen Knockout and dug him down to the ground.

Knockout started screaming and Starscream called out on a transmitter to the other Decepticons saying “Decepticons! Retreat back to the Warship!”

The seekers transformed and flew off toward the direction where the Decepticon warship was at.

Before Breakdown transformed and drove out of Canterlot, he tried to see if he could save his friend Knockout but he realized that the Corpsers were too far deep for Breakdown to ever pull Knockout back up.  

The Nazis were having it out with the locusts until...

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Celestia walked towards the battle and Luna was getting impatient with what Celestia was planning to do.

“What are we going to do Tia?” Luna asked.

“I was thinking that instead of using my magic to destroy our enemies, why don't we just transport them all to the other side of the planet,” Celestia suggested.

“But Princess..thats impossible” Twilight asked.

“Its not impossible my student. Just...hard to accomplish. If we combine our powers I'm sure we can transport all of them.

“You think it might work?” said Princess Luna.

“I'm not certain that it will work but we must act now before the time for the opportunity to strike back is lost!” Celestia demanded.

Twilight saw the determination to succeed in Celestia's voice and it made her feel confident that this will be over sooner then expected. She walked through the city with Twilight at Celestia's right side and Luna on the other. They walked through the city that had some buildings on fire and mortars hitting all around them.  

The three ponies walked until Celestia led them to the top of a hill. They had a clear view of the whole battle and it was a perfect place for the three ponies to focus all of their magic to transport the enemies far away.

When the three ponies were trying to focus their magic an e hole opened up from behind them and drones started climbing out of them. Celestia used her magic to close the e hole and it started to close and the drones tried to climb quicker. But they were too late and the hole closed.

“Princess?” Twilight asked.

“Yes Twilight?” Celestia replied.

“Once we get our magic up to maximum power...how are we supposed to use a spell of transportation for all of them to the other side of the planet?” Twilight said.

“Give all of you power you can muster to me. I know how.”

Twilight and Princess Luna nodded their head and started concentrating.

Twilight and Luna gave most of their magic to Celestia and she was having a little trouble controlling it. But she powered through and she unleashed her magic on them all.

A big white flash appeared from her horn and it blinded everything temporarily.

When everypony regained their eye site, the battle was over and nobody was  fighting for Canterlot now. No transformers, locusts, or Nazis. They were all gone in the blink of an eye.

Its Not Over Yet!

Chapter Five:

It's Not Over Yet!

The local pony fire department in Canterlot put out all fires throughout Canterlot. Twilight and Luna were smiling that it was over but were very tired due to the amount of magic that was drained from them. But Celestia wasn't smiling. She had a frown on her face.

“Princess, what's wrong? We won! You should be happy.”

“”No we didn't win Twilight. We didn't win. We just delayed their massive attack for a period of time. Who knows how long we have delayed them. As we speak they are beginning to plot another attack on Canterlot. We only have enough time for so long to ready ourselves.”

“I thought you said we teleported them to the other side of the planet Tia.”

“I did but they aren't going to be defeated that easily. We must prepare ourselves for the worst to come. Unless we act and we attack head on!”

“It sounds...doable but do we really have the technology to compete with theirs? I mean do we have guns that can knock out giant walking robots or huge creatures that come from under ground?”

“Possibly sis why don't we ready our soldiers and have them open the vault for the first time in years.”

“The vault?!”

“Princess what is the vault?”

“Its where we store all of our weapons and military vehicles. I never wanted to have it come to this but I knew one day it would. And it will cause lives on both sides of this war.”

“Where is the vault?”

“Follow me.”

Princess Luna and Twilight Sparkle walked with Celestia towards this old shack outside of Canterlot but was still on the mountain.

The three ponies walked inside the small shack and Celestia used her magic to press a button next to her. The door the shack closed and they heard a noise outside of them and they saw them sinking into the ground since they saw the door getting higher and higher until it was above them.

They rode the elevator down for about one minute and then the elevator came to a halt. The double doors opened slowly and Twilight saw a lot of high tech machinery like she was never used to seeing.

She say tanks lined evenly next to each other and helicopters lined evenly next to each other. Also fighter planes were lined up. The vault seemed to have run for ever into the mountain but it was actually more then one mile long.

“Princess this is the vault? I would think that it would be smaller then this.”

“Luna.”

“Yes Tia?”

“Tell the commander to ready the assault ponies.”

“Yes Celestia.”

Preperation and Determination

Chapter Six:

Preparation and Determination

A large crowd of ponies were gathered in the center of Canterlot. In the front of the crowd were the pony soldiers. The pedestrians were gathered out side of the large crowd waiting to hear Celestia's speech.

Twilight Sparkle and Princess Luna got a great view of Celestia. Luna knew what her speech was going to be about. She didn't want to say what was going to be the plan because she hated it. But now in the situation everypony is in, it will have to be called for.

They were on a balcony above Celestia looking down on her, listening.

“My little ponies, today I gather you here for an important event. This will be the most crucial turning point in pony history ever. I gather you here, because I saw you ponies train everyday in the military court yard. You were specifically supposed to be trained to protect Canterlot against all evil. You were supposed to protect me your princess and my sister Luna; your other princess.

But now, I call you all to stand against our enemies we have seen here yesterday. I assume that you all know what we are dealing with am I right? It was kind of hard to miss because it was right outside all of our doorsteps. But why I really gathered you here today is for the fight against our enemies. My plan is to you either choose to go on the mission to confront and destroy the last of our enemies into unknown territory or you can stand here and defend the ponies from an overwhelming attack. The choice is yours my little ponies so choose wisely and let my sister's and my power be with you in battle. You all have one week to decide, after that, we will be waiting for you to join us. That is all you may go now.”

“Princess Luna, is this really going to happen?”

“Yes Twilight, it is, but I wish it wasn't.” Luna replied with a worried look on her face.

The huge doors opened to the vault on the side of the mountain with a squad of fighter planes ready to take off.

A unicorn was in front of them using his magic to wave glowing sticks at the fighters.

The squad of fighters took off and climbed up into the air. They circled Canterlot to make sure no enemies were going to attack Canterlot.

Tanks and transports were driving out of the vault and into the streets of Canterlot. They were preparing for the offense tactic. The tanks were slow but they were faster then the transports.

Artillery trucks were coming out next. Medium sized machines but were the slowest and the weakest but very effective at long range.

The military vehicles stopped at the edge of the city. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were there giving their soldiers good luck.

One hundred thousand pony soldiers were marching through the streets of Canterlot to the transports. Gunships have lifted off and transported some of the soldiers to the transports but the others had to walk there.

Some pony citizens were a little scared to see huge machines driving through the streets. Especially the transports.

The transports were huge since they could transport about one hundred ponies not including the ponies that could on the top on the 10 machine gun turrets. The transports were about 14-15 feet tall and 30 feet long.

The pony soldiers got into their transports or assigned vehicles and they drove off into the unknown world.

Ambush!

Chapter Seven:

Ambush!

The royal pony air force flew over Canterlot with amazing speed towards the direction were the pony army was going. They were going to scan the land if there were any enemies in that area ahead of them. Their scanners didn't pick up on anything so they returned to base with nothing to report to the army.

Some pony soldiers were thankful that the royal pony air force reported nothing that lyes ahead of them for miles while the veteran ponies were pissed that they wasn't going to be any action with the enemies.

Celestia told the army where to go to find the enemies and they were told to go to the forbidden city. Their first objective was to make it through the forsaken forest alive. Celestia did also order a small garrison to go to Stalliongrad.

A small garrison of two transports and four tanks detached from the convoy and headed to Stalliongrad.

“I'm Spark what's yours?” said a red unicorn mare with a light blue mane and tail.

“I'm Private Axe. This isn't social hour kid so keep your guard up!” said the brown stallion earth pony with dark brown mane and tail.

“I'm not a kid I'm an adult mare and I shall be addressed as such!”

“Oh sorry. I didn't mean to offend you.”

“It's Sergeant, Private. And I'd say when it's social hour.”

“Sorry Sergeant Spark. I'm just...nervous. I feel like for some reason like..like...were heading straight into a trap. I don't think we should be going to Stalliongrad at least with such a small force made up of mostly recruits.”

“Yeah..I know how you feel. But I got faith in you Private. I think we'll do ok. And if we don't..I think you'll make it out alive a lot longer then the rest of the  Bravos. Besides I heard that there's going to be a support squad that goes by the name of Papa 3 and they'll be waiting for us outside of Stalliongrad.”

“I hope you're right. I don't think Bravo alone can hold out against our enemies alone. Especially if there is an ambush waiting for us.”

“Hey I'm Corporal Tomahawk. Nice to meet you for the first time Sergeant  Spark. I got assigned to your squad a minute ago by the General. I'm a freshly knew recruit at your service” said a dark green unicorn with dark brown mane and tail.

“That..be my brother” said Axe to Spark.

“Nice to have you on Bravo 3 Corporal.”

“Nice to be here. I finally get to kill people with my tomahawks this is going to be so cool!”

“Glad you're excited. Now...”

The Transport started shaking and ponies started hearing the word “boom” and explosions going on in front of them.

The ponies inside the transport heard the driver yell “Everypony! GET OUT! NOW!”

The doors quickly swung open and the ponies ran out and got to cover.

The transport exploded when a bomb flew in and exploded to the inside of the  cockpit. When it exploded, Spark started tearing up because she saw the transport explode and didn't think her squad made it out in time.

“AXE!” Spark yelled out towards the immobilized transport.

“I'm right here Sergeant.”

“Where's Tomahawk?”

“I don't know! He was right behind me before”

Boomers were surrounding the small garrison (Bravo) from all sides and the ponies were limited to cover but the Boomers had the advantage in surprise  and elevation.

Bullets were flying everywhere screams and shouts for help were being yelled out at every direction. Fires were burning all over the area from the wrecked transport. In only minutes, the small garrison had around fifty pony soldiers left.  

Spark saw a pony body laying near the burning transport. She started running towards where the familiar body was. She dodged the bullets that were flying right over her and Axe followed her.

She stopped in front of the body that was laying in a pool of blood coughing up blood.

“Sarge! Sarge!”

“I'm right here Tom speak to me!”

Tomahawk started to try and say some words “Sarge...I...I'm not going to...make...it!”

“Don't speak like that Tom your going to be fine you're going to be okay. Do you here me? Tom! TOM!”

“My brother...he's...gone...he's really...gone” said Axe.

“It's ok Axe. We have to go!”

Axe kept on staring at his dead brother Tomahawk for a few more seconds until he heard the words “Thats an order Private!”

Axe woke up to the real world and found himself surrounded by debris and dark clouds of smoke that wouldn't let you see where you were going or breathe.

“Axe! Don't breathe in the smoke and follow me!”

Axe could barely breath but tried to focus long enough to follow Spark.

He tried keeping up but he was slow and tried to see where she was but he couldn't. He tried moving faster but then out of no where he gets shot in the leg.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” he screamed in pain and had a few tears coming down his face. He was thinking; First my brother dies, I'm lost in a huge cloud of smoke and I've lost my leader. And this is how I'm going to die?

He could then see a dark image of a pony coming towards him and when it came closer it was Spark.

Axe was coughing uncontrollably because he couldn't breathe in any oxygen. Spark put his front two legs around her neck and then she pulled him out of the area of smoke.

Spark yelled at Axe and yelled out “Don't stop now Private keep moving or you are going to die!”

Spark broke loose and went at a full gallop towards the inside of the forest. Axe limped down into the forest slowly and didn't see her in the forest. He almost started getting dizzy and lost his balance and fell over.

Axe got back up and was sweating and panting. He saw some hoof tracks in the snow and started following them. He was going to slip into unconsciousness but he wouldn't let up that easily.

He kept limping through the woods leaving a trail of blood behind him. He looked at every direction for Spark but he didn't see a sign of her except for the tracks in the snow that he was following.

Spark was panting from running a long distance. She sat down in the snow leaning her back against the cold rock. It may have been cold to her but it gave her time to relax.

She sat there waiting for him to come out of the bushes. She got up to scan the area for him but she saw no sign of him. She regretted leaving him behind  to fend for himself.

“ I probably have lost my entire squad and I don't even know it. Hopefully he isn't dead. Please...Please Celestia let him be okay. Let him survive don't let our enemies kill him off like...they did to...Tom.”

Spark started tearing up.

And then her prayer has been answered. The bushes were rustling and she heard grunting with pain. And then Axe walked through the bushes limping slowly and then collapsing in front of her.

She got up and rushed to him and saw a bullet in his right hind leg.

“Uhhh...I know what to do, Axe, stay calm ok? Axe? Axe!”

Axe fell into unconsciousness and Spark was getting a little afraid that he might die. She was trained in this stuff she knew what to do. She pulled a long piece of cloth and rapped it around his injury to stop the bleeding.

She laid him next to the rock and rapped him around in a blanket that she had in her saddlebag. She laid against the rock and hugged herself to keep warm and fell asleep.

Alone and Relentless

Chapter Eight:

Alone and Relentless

She woke up to find that she was snuggling under a blanket. She got up to see where Axe was and saw him leaning against a rock without a blanket but was  trying to use his ear piece to communicate to a pony base or a nearby military installation for help.

She walked towards him slowly and then sat next to him and said “What are you doing with it?”

“Calling for help”

“You're not going to get any reception up here, were very far from civilization let alone the convoy must be at least one hundred miles away”

Axe kept on talking to the ear piece but no voices were being called back and then he got so frustrated that he threw the ear piece off the hill.

“Whoa settle down Axe, we are going to be fine.”

“HOW AM I supposed to be fine if we are in the middle of nowhere where we could easily be killed by our enemies!”

“At Ease, Thats An Order Soldier!”

Axe stopped and he looked at Spark with a worried expression on his face.

“We will be fine. Just a few days we have to survive until our drop ships arrive wondering why Bravo went offline and is not responding. We just have to hold out until they arrive around where we are.”

“But Sergeant, what if they don't?”

“Then it's our loss. We might probably die out here from the unexpected blizzards. We will be lucky if we make it out alive walking out of the woods and into a pony town or village.”

“Sergeant, do you know where we are?”

There was a moment of silence between them until a few seconds later, Spark answered “I don't know Axe. I don't know.”

“”Serg...”

You can stop calling me that now just call me Spark for now on.”

“Okay Spark...what are we going to do now?”

“I guess we should keep moving.”

“Um...Spark?”

“Yes Axe?”

“You won't leave me behind again will you? Not trying to get on your bad side I just want to know if I'll be alone in this again.”

There was another moment of silence between the two ponies.

“I regretted leaving you to fend for yourself and I don't want to let that happen again. Back there I was a little scared, I didn't know what was really happening. I'm not going to let you fight alone again. Especially since you are  kind of new to this.”

“Thank for telling me Spark. I appreciate it.”

“Well lets go this way and I promise I won't walk to fast for you.”

Axe had a grin on his face and followed Spark at a slow speed.

They made their way down the snowy hill and into the snowed in forest. Both of them didn't talk for about an hour just listening to the peaceful birds chirping, the sun glistening on their coats, and the animals communicating with each other.

Spark turned around to look at Axe and she said “Do you need to take a break?”

“Umm...sure. Would be nice to get off my leg for awhile.”

Axe sat down and laid his back against a nearby tree. Spark laid down in front of him and started playing with the snow.

Spark wasn't paying attention to him but when Axe started rubbing his injured leg, she looked up and said “How is it?”

“How is what?”

“Your leg Axe.”

“It feels like it is about to fall off my body. It hurts so bad. Have you ever got shot before?”

“No I was always careful with myself and I try to limit my mistakes to nothing so that I don't get hurt.”

“You're a lucky son of a bitch!”

“I'd guess but I have faith in you. I think you can make it out of this war further then the rest of the others.”

“Thanks.”

“Your welcome. It's so peaceful out here it's as if it is a paradise.”

“You like the woods?”

“I don't like it...I LOVE it!”

“I thought I was the only one that loved the woods. My whole family except me loves the city for some reason. I mean who could love the city?”

“Right? Doesn't make sense what some ponies like.” Axe then chuckled a little and then said “The city!”

“Are you comfortable enough to walk now?”

“Yeah I think so for just another ten or twenty miles.”

Axe and Spark started walking through the forest unaware of where they were going.

Lost and Damned

Chapter Nine:

Lost and Damned

“Princess Celestia!”

“What is it Scroll Maker?”

“I have some bad news”

“What is more worse then being on the loosing side of a war?”

“Um...uh...Well we have lost contact with Bravo.”

“All of the units of Bravo? Gone?!”

“In the blink of an eye. Papa 3 is now reported gone not long after Bravo.”

“Send some choppers to investigate!”

“I'm already ahead of you. I've dispersed 3 choppers to the last known location of Bravo and Papa 3.”

“Thank goodness I have a good informant like you Scroll.”

“I'm just glad to be here and do my job Princess. Do you request anything else before I leave?”

“That will be I mean can you just keep informing me”

“I'm going to sleep then. Can you pass me the blanket?”

“Umm...Axe...I only have one blanket and I'm really cold. I was wondering if we could share the blanket for tonight.”

“Uhh...sure Spark.”

Spark walked slowly to him and laid down next to him under the small blanket.

Spark yawned and rested her head on Axe's chest.

Axe was surprised of her confusing action.

What could've motivated her to rest her head on my chest? Does she love me?

Axe let it slide without question and let her rest his head on his chest since Spark probably isn't aware of what she is doing. Axe did feel more comfortable with her resting her head on his chest and he felt more warm in a very cold night.

Just then, Axe heard a tiny buzzing in the distance. He lifted his head to see if he could hear the sound more better but did it enough not to disturb Spark. The sound was getting louder and the sound changed to something chopping the wind.

Axe had no idea what it was and gently pushed against Spark and she opened her eyes very slowly.

“Spark. Spark Wake up do you hear that?”

“Whaat?”

“We're saved Spark We're sav..wait... why aren't they...landing?”

Spark got up and looked into the dark sky.

“They can't see us! GOD DAMN FUCKING BITCH! Look down here you son of a bitch!”

Three helicopters flew over them fast towards the direction where Spark was and Axe were ambushed with Bravo.

“No! NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOO! YOU! CANT! DO THIS!,” yelled Spark angrily and tiredly at the dark sky.

“Spark! Spark! They aren't coming back. They're gone.”

“No!”

Spark dropped to her knees and started crying. Axe sat down next to her and put his leg around her.

Axe leaned closer to her and whispered into her ear “It's going to be fine Spark. We can make it without their help. Please Spark, don't cry, don't give up. I...rely on you to make it out alive. Without you, I'll die.”

Spark calmed down a little and was still looking at the ground where her tears made a puddle of water. She looked at him with a smile on her face but still a couple tears pouring down her face from her eyes.

“You really believe in me that way?”

“I do”

Spark quickly hugged him and held him there. Axe put his legs around her body because he liked her. They hugged each other for about a good 5 minutes until Spark let go of him.

Axe walked towards the blanket and Spark followed him. They got under the blanket but something surprised Axe.

“Axe?”

“Yeah?”

“I want a pillow because my head is cold, can I rest my head on you?”

“Umm...sure I guess.”

Spark put the side of her face on Axe's chest and she rubbed her face against his chest a couple times and Spark fell asleep comfortably.

Axe was still confused about Spark's feelings and never seen her like this. He was too tired to think anymore and dozed off warm for the first time in the forest.

Fully Rested and Operational

Chapter Ten:

Fully Rested and Operational

Axe woke up with his leg feeling a little better. He looked down and saw Spark still with her head laying on his chest with a little drool on his coat. He didn't mind it and let her sleep on him.

Spark woke up slowly seeing drool on his coat. She looked at him and said “I'm sorry Axe, I didn't mean for me to drool on you.”

“It's ok it doesn't bother me” he said with a smile.

Spark got up off him and saw the camp fire has burnt out with smoke coming from the burnt sticks.

Axe just laid there and watched Spark. She stood on her hind legs, stretched, and yawned. He watched her and just stared at her as she fell back on her four legs.

Wow, I have never seen Spark look this hot before. Especially on a morning. What am I thinking? I don't...I couldn't...do I?

“Get up Axe...we still have a long way to walk and you're holding us back from your injured leg. We cant go behind schedule.”

“What?...Oh sorry.”

Axe got up slowly and started folding the blanket.

“What wrong Axe?,”said Spark catching him off guard with his mind wondering with so many thoughts that he could blurt them out loud at any second to Spark.

“um..uh...nothing.”

“You sure cause you have been acting weird this morning,” catching him off guard again.

“uh...I'm pretty sure. I'm just...tired,” lied Axe.

“Does your leg still hurt?”

“A little less then before.”

“Thats good news.”

“What?”

“Well I'd thought you be happy with your leg feeling better.”

“You sound like you're trying to rush the healing.”

“No I'm not.”

“Yes you are.”

“NO I'm not.

“YES you are.”

What's your problem?”

“Nothing what yours?”

“I'm not talking to you anymore.”

“Lets just go. You lead and I follow yadda yadda yadda.”

“No.”

“Why?”

“I don't like being talked to like that.”

Axe sighed and then he said in defeat “I'm sorry Spark. For my intolerable actions Spark.”

Spark looked at him and then said “I forgive you Axe. Now...lets get ready and go. We're burning daylight.”

Axe nodded with a grin and picked up the blanket with his mouth and put it into Spark's saddle bag.

Spark smiled at him and then used her magic to levitate the saddle bag onto her back.

“Now I believe we have to go this way to get to the river.”

“Well you know more then I do so where ever you think it is then lets go for it.”

“Yeah my senses say that we were planning to go this way but we stopped to camp for the night.”

Spark immediately started running through the forest and Axe had a hard time keeping up.

“WAIT! Great she ditched me, its gonna be real easy to survive now! Son of a bitch,” he said to himself as he went to maximum speed to attempt to catch up with her.

As Axe paced himself, he saw Spark at an edge of a cliff surrounded by small mountains covered with snow.

“What are you doi...”

“Look!”

“Wait is that...”

“It is. Thank you Celestia I knew you'd help us!”

“Well what are we waiting for? Lets...”

“Get down there? Great idea.”

“You just love...”

“Interrupting me? Yes I do.”

“Yeah. Like that.”

Spark started laughing at what he said and kept tugging on him to get to the river fast.

“Whoa slow down! Your making my leg hurt!”

“Do you know what else I saw besides the river?”

“What?”

“FOOD!”

“What where?”

“I saw some grass on the other side of the river that can suite our standards.”

“Seriously or are you bluffing?”

“Really seriously!”

“This better not be a trick or I swear that would be torture.”

“You're funny!,” Spark said as she laughed.

“I'm confused how was that funny? A matter aff...,” Axe paused himself before going any further with his questionable opinion.”

“What?”

“Nothing I'll tell you tonight.”

“ Okay but we still got a long walk to the river you can tell me now and get it over with. I'll be happy to answer your question.”

“I...will ask you tonight. First lets just get ourselves to the other side of the river.”

“Fine.”

No easy day

Chapter Eleven:

No Easy Day

The two ponies took half of the whole day getting to the river and it looked which seemed to be very wide to cross but there were ice in the river but were all detached and floating around.

“So Spark. How do suppose we can cross the river?,” asked Axe to Spark.

“We're going to jump on the ice to get across.”

“The ice is thin it can break once our weight is on it.”

“Thats why we have to be quick and run.”

“I cant do this I'm going to drown.”

“Don't speak like that your not going to drown.”

“Well if I fall in I'll drown, I don't know how to swim.”

“Well if you do I'm going after you and I'll get you out before you could blink.”

“Well thanks for the motivation.”

“You are welcome now let me see. Follow what I do, I'll see you on the other side.”

Spark quickly jumped onto some floating ice and then the next and etc.

Axe saw her quickly jump on each piece of floating ice like it was nothing and she didn't even slip and fall. Before he knew it, Spark was on the other side of the river waving at him and yelling “Come on, don't be scared, you're going to be fine, you can do this!”

“Axe could barely even hear any word she was yelling at him and they went over his head and he kept on staring at the -3 degree water. He looked back up and saw Spark that was nodding at him.

He was scared and clueless of how to get to the other side of the river with out slipping into the water but he was also determined to get across and that was all he needed to motivate him to do it.

He jumped onto some pieces of floating ice and and then jumped onto another but was very slow to do it compared to how fast Spark did. Axe got to the middle of the river and it took him as long Spark took to get all the way to the other side of the river.

In a hour, it was going to be sundown because of daylight savings time. Axe kept on jumping to get another piece of floating ice but he was getting tired and was running out of breath but Spark kept on yelling at him to not stop.

He finally got to the last piece of ice and he collapsed onto the ground in front of Spark almost out of breath. He was panting, sweating, and very thirsty.

“You did it Axe! You made it across! I knew that you could do it!”

“I....water...food...tired...sleep...hungry...thirsty”

“Follow me, there's a surprise for you.”

“A surprise? What could you possibly find in the middle of nowhere?”

“Oh just a log cabin with a bathroom, bed room, and a kitchen.”

“What?” This...this...this...I don't know....this is just...yeah no comment.”

“We finally got somewhere comfortable to rest.”

“You don't know how much I love you right now.”

Spark giggled at that and walked towards the log cabin and said “Come on I'll show you inside”

Axe followed her to the front door and she opened it using her magic. When she did, the smell from the logged walls traveled out the door and into Axe's nose.

“Wow...I never smelled this type of wood before.”

“Oh it isn't, its just the candles that I lit. It smells good doesn't it?”

“Hope nopony is using this,” he said as he took a bottle of grape juice and started drinking like he never did before.

“Well I figured that we'd just stay here for the night. I'm not passing up an opportunity to sleep warm and comfortable in a house.”

“I wouldn't either.”

“I made you a turkey sandwich. It's on the table over there.”

“Thank you so much Spark. I don't know what I would've done with out you.”

Spark started getting blushed and she walked into another room and he smiled at her and began to eat his sandwich.

After he ate his sandwich, he looked up and saw steam coming from underneath the door where Spark went into. The door opened and out came all of the stream and behind the steam was a shadowed figure of a female pony.

Spark slowly walked out with a smile on her face and she had a robe on. She  swung her mane back and then back in place.

Axe stared at her with his jaw dropped almost touching the table.

Damn she is hot! She gets more attractive every time I see her. What am I thinking, I don't love her. I cant I wont I don't!

Axe fixed his emotions back to the way they were and Spark came and sat at the table.

“You can take your bath now, I'm all done,” Spark said with a grin.

“Um...uh...ok then.”

Axe got up and walked toward the bathroom but he couldn't keep his eyes off Spark until he shut the door.

“Yup, it's official, I am a really attracted to...Spark,” whispered Axe to himself.

Axe took a bath and then dried himself. He walked out of the bathroom with the first thing he saw was Spark sitting on an old couch with stains and cotton balls falling out of it.

Axe sat down next to Spark without leaving his eyes off her.

“So uh..I'll sleep here for the night and you can sleep in the bed in the other room I guess.”

“Now wait a minute Axe. It wouldn't be fair for me to sleep on a comfy bed while you sleep on...that would it?”

“But aren't you married?”

“Last time I checked I was never married. What about you?”

“No.”

“So then wouldn't it be better for the both of us to get a perfect night sleep?”

“I guess so.”

“So come on then.”

“Um...ok...if you say so.”

Spark giggled and then she said “I say so.”

Spark rushed into the bedroom and jumped into the bed while Axe just slowly followed her to the bed.

He slowly got into the bed and he was facing opposite of Spark. Spark was facing towards him and she hugged him with her front two legs.

“Uhhh, what are you doing?,” asked Axe as her pushed her legs off around him and turned to see Spark.

“I was...hugging you. Why?,” replied Spark with another question.

“Spark, I think now is the time for that question I wanted to ask you earlier. I think but I'm not sure. Do you...love me?,” asked Axe.

“I...think I do. Is there a problem?,” asked Spark.

“No it's just that, you haven't acted like this towards me before. Why now, I mean I'm not married and I want to settle down and get the love of my dreams but, I don't understand why you would want to love me,” said Axe.

“I just want...somepony...you I like you, I really like you. I think that you are cute, funny, and handsome. I really do think this about you and nothing is going to make me think otherwise about you,” replied Spark.

“Thank you for telling me this otherwise I would've been confused about who you really are and why you act like this towards me. I would've gone insane without knowing that. But anyway, I kind of feel the same way about you it's just, we really never actually had the time and I'm not that brave to ask girls out,” said Axe.

“Well you're lucky that I...showed my actions to like you,” said Spark.

“I guess I am,” replied Axe.

Axe flipped over and slowly closed his eyes and Spark again, rapped her legs around him.

Rude Awakening

Chapter Twelve:

Rude Awakening

Axe and Spark both woke up to the yelling that came from something at the end of the bed.

Axe slowly woke up at the same time Spark did and when he lifted his back off the bed, he noticed five Nazis at the foot of the bed pointing Kar 98 Ks at the two ponies.

The Nazis had their Kar 98 Ks aimed at their heads and they kept on yelling something at them that the two ponies couldn't understand but they knew what the Nazis were going with this.

The Nazis pushed their captured prisoners outside where they were to be executed.  

They put the guns to their faces and one Nazi that was in command of the squad yelled out “Execute on my mark! One! Two! Thr...”

All of the Nazis looked into the sky to see that about hundreds of Reavers  were flying over them towards Stalliongrad where the Nazi headquarters was stationed. Some of the Reavers started firing at the Nazis where they were going to execute the two ponies.  

Missiles fell from the sky and hit the Nazis causing them to explode on contact or get critically injured from the force of the impact that hit near them.

The two ponies fled from the battle and into the forest running at a full gallop as they saw some German soldiers crawling towards them bleeding eternally. The two ponies didn't know where to go to avoid getting killed by the Locusts so Spark ran to a random direction into the forest.

“Come On Axe! Follow Me!” Yelled out Spark as Axe was running right behind Spark following her orders.

Axe followed Spark into the forest and he followed her out of the forest and onto a hill looking over Stalliongrad that was engulfed in flames from the battle of Locusts V.S. the Nazis.

E-holes quickly were formed in and around the city where Grenadiers, Grenadier Elite, Theron Sentinels, and Theron Guards climbed out from them and shot their guns at the Nazis.

Many Nazis were terrified as to what these creatures were but still stood their ground and tried to defend their command posts. Soon enough the Nazis were driven out of their assigned area by being overrun or by being simply running out of ammunition and scared to do a melee fight with a locust that had a chainsaw attachment.

When they were driven out of their position, they were sometimes surrounded by Grinders in front of them and the Locust Drones behind them and as they tried to take another route to try and avoid the the two forces closing in on them, Flame Boomers would be there too and there was nowhere to try and escape but an alley with no outlets. Then when they were cornered, Butchers would come in and just basically butcher them with their big knives. Sometimes the Butchers would toy with the cornered Nazis and just toss them around by hitting them with their big knives not as hard but still laugh at the fact that they were torturing humans in the middle of a battle.

Himmler without hesitation, ordered most of his units to retreat.

Panzer and Elephant tank units attempted to evacuate the ruins of the city since their weapons seemed useless against the Locusts while the Tiger Tank units, snipers, and mortar units stayed behind in the city to try and fend off the Locusts but the other forces tried to evacuate but were soon pummeled by bullets and bombs from the Reavers. The Germans that refused to fight off the enemy were quickly killed by their own.

The snipers were hiding into apartment buildings with their Scoped Kar 98 Ks.  They tried to shoot the Locusts below them in the streets but every time they shot their scoped rifle, it gave a loud of enough sound to attract a horde of Locusts as if the horde level was at number eight.  

As soon as the Locusts came, the Nazis left but when they were retreating, the Locusts surrounded them with hundreds of Reavers, Grenadiers, Theron Guards, and Beast Riders. The Nazis couldn't run anymore and all of the Locusts just killed them mercilessly even when they accepted to surrender to the Locusts.

After a minute of constant firing at the surrounded Germans that were screaming, they laughed viciously as they watched the huge cloud of smoke in front of them disappear after time. When the dark clouds of smoke disappeared, the Locusts laughed even louder at the sight of German blood splattered all over the ground, tanks, and half-tracks.

The Locusts didn't even bother to secure the city of Stalliongrad since there was almost nothing of it but rubble from the buildings and streets. It was almost certain that nothing could survive in that city from the point of when the Germans arrived, to the point of after the Locusts butchered the Germans.

The Locusts just walked to the outskirts of the city and disappeared into the forest.

Spark started running towards the city of Stalliongrad with tears running down her face. Axe was so frightened from the battle that he didn't realize that Spark has run towards the city of Stalliongrad until when Spark was half way there.

Axe immediately ran after Spark as fast as he could wondering what was her hurry. He never knew that Spark could run that fast over nothing.

When Axe finally stopped behind Spark that was crying and laying down into the pebbles and dust. She had some parts of bricks in her hooves and tried to piece them back together but when she tried, it exploded into dust that flew down to the ground in front of her.

“What's wrong Spark? It's just a city,” Axe asked carelessly.

“What's wrong?! Stalliongrad is whats wrong! It's been completely demolished from monsters that come from underground is whats wrong! MY FUCKING HOME IS GONE THAT IS WHATS WRONG!” Spark yelled out towards Axe in anger with more tears coming down her face.

“Your home? I thought your home was in Canterlot or Ponyville or something,”

replied Axe with a calm voice.

“I was born in Stalliongrad and I was raised in Stalliongrad. My parents have lived their entire lives in Stalliongrad. It was once a beautiful city filled with the correct order that anypony could live by. It was very peaceful all year round thats why I never left. Plus with the stallions around I thought I could get married by one but somehow it never happened. They were all taken and I was so bored living alone so I joined the Military to find the stallion of my dreams and not be bored with life. I wanted to one day, live back in Stalliongrad to start a family of my own,” Spark replied calming down.

“I never knew. I was born in Canterlot along with three brothers. We lived in the poorest section. Ma, she was alright, she did as much as she could to  keep us well fed and support us as much as she could. We didn't have much money since dad ran away. He used to bring us the money back home  until one day he never returned. Ma did as much as she could to protect us and keep us alive.”

“That sounds so sad. Who's your other brother?” Spark asked.

“My other brother was Hatchet. He got himself seriously hurt one day  and we didn't have enough money for the hospital to fix him so we had to do the worst thing we could ever do; we had to put him down. My brother died when he was ten. He was the youngest of us all and probably the most stupidest out  of all of us. But we still loved him the same. We did have a sister but she  left us all. She was the oldest and I never saw her again. Last time I saw her was when I was about maybe eight.”

“Oh my god you poor poor pony.”

“Don't be sad about your life, be sad about your future being ruined. My past is nothing just forget what ever I said about my life in the past. It doesn't matter anymore.”

“If you say so. It's still sad.”

“It's not sad, I don't care about my past anymore. Nor my family,” Axe said looking away from her with a frown on his face.

“You want to walk through the city? Your tensing up,” Spark asked.

“Sure I guess. Tell me more about this place”

Spark and Axe walked through a street with the buildings on fire that survived bombardment. The ones that didn't survive, left ashes and rubble pouring into the street. There were some buildings in the city that wasn't on fire but were rarely found by the two ponies. The ones that weren't had their windows shattered, cracks on the walls, bullet holes in random places, blood spilled all over the wall, and chipped wall pieces that were scattered across the ground or all over the floor inside. Nothing was untouched by the Nazis or the Locusts.

Axe followed Spark to someplace she was leading him into the city and kept looking around him at the burning buildings. He carefully watched where he stepped since their were dead bodies of Germans and Locusts. He saw pieces of wood and metal explode out of windows and fall into the sidewalks and streets that were encased in flames. They passed damaged tanks and half-tracks that were on fire. He heard nothing but the fires around him and the sound of Spark sniffling with tears still coming down her face.

“Spark?” Axe asked. “Are you okay?”

“I'm surviving but very very sad. I feel like a piece of my heart is missing. Everything hurts but...I ignore the pain,” replied Spark still walking and not looking back at him.

After five minutes of dead silence (besides the fires) and walking through many different streets and intersections, they came across a plaza with a fountain that didn't pour out anymore water and was practically demolished.

Spark stopped in front of the fountain looking down into it with not a sign of a positive expression coming on. She looked back up and around the plaza where she saw more buildings on fire and crumbling. Spark looked at Axe and she said to him “This was the exact spot where my mother and father first met. This was the exact spot where my father proposed to her for when they would get married. That church over there,” Spark said as she looked away and pointed to another part of the plaza. “Thats where my parents were married.”

Spark sat down on the fountain edge and started to cry some more but she covered her eyes with her hooves. She was mentally scarred inside her and it was going to take a lot for her to heal.

Axe was confused for a minute about what to do until he thought of something. He sat down next to Spark and he put his left front leg around Spark's back. Spark wanting to be comforted, leaned her head and rested it on Axe's left shoulder. Axe whispered very softly and comforting to Spark into her ear “Listen Spark. I know that you are very upset and a little scared still, I'm still that too. Everything that has happened today to make you like this, I will make up for it. Just for you and nopony else. If it takes me from now until my last breathe of living, then fine I will still do it. I don't want to see you upset for something that is not your fault. I promise you, I will do everything in my power to make it up to you.”

“You'd really do that for me or are you just saying that to stop my crying?” Spark asked looking into his eyes not convinced.

“I really do mean it because...I love you,” replied Axe.

“Tell me the truth of why that you love me to convince me that you're not lying to me.”

“I love you because well you saved my life maybe a couple of times, your so sexy and hot, the way you walk out of a bathroom after you take a shower makes me want to drool, you're so warm when you hug me, and I think that you are the pony for me. Plus you make a good turkey sandwich,” Axe replied  smiling at her.

“Spark was blushed at the point when Axe told her that she was sexy and hot and he believed him when he said that about her. She kissed him in the cheek, got up, and said to Axe “Thanks, I needed somepony to lift me back on my feet.”

Axe sat frozen amazed at what she did to him after his response.

Spark looked back at him and smiled with a even more brighter blush and she said “Oh come on, all I've did this week to you was practically sexually harass you and that kiss is nothing for what I have in storage.

Axe came back to the real world and said back “You mean...”

“No were not into it that far understand me? I decide when we get to got it?,” Spark rudely interrupted with an attitude.

“I forgot to add one more thing to the list of why I love you.”

“And what's that?” Spark asked as she cocked an eyebrow.

“I love how you almost always get an attitude. Makes you even more irresistible to me,” Axe added as Spark's remark was smiling at him with a chuckle.

“Keep going, you're doing great. Just don't mess up and end up getting kicked in the face,” Spark replied impressed in how much he really loved her.

“But I can't think of anymore!”

“All well, knew it was too good to be true,” Spark said lying.

After an hour of a tour through Stalliongrad, they both were tired and Spark laid down on a big rock as she rested her head on her front legs while Axe sat in a chair keep on trying to level it with only two legs instead of four.

Spark had her eyes closed and acted like she was getting a suntan that the sunlight glistened against her coat. She liked how the wind would rarely and randomly come pass her as her coat brushed up against the short lived breeze.

She listened and felt everything that was on the dead street and loved how peaceful and warm it was around her. Axe thought that Spark was taking a nap in the sunlight to soothe her sorrowfulness so he decided to just take a random stroll through the city alone and hopefully find his way back to Spark.

When Axe left and got to the end of the street, Spark opened her eyes and looked at Axe not surprised that he is there.

“Hey Axe what are you doing?” Spark asked trying to get Axe to come back and stay with her.

“Ohhh uhhh I don't know. Just waiting for what you think about to do next I guess,” Axe replied to her startled.

“Is that you're answer to everything? I guess?”

“I guess so. Hey do you hear something? Axe asked.

“What do you hear?” Spark said with an annoyed expression as she got off the rock and she walked towards Axe.

“Well I hear a faint crying from some where around here.”

“What do you mean crying?”

“I mean I hear crying. It's faint but I can still hear it and it's close.”

“What could it be?”

“I don't know but what ever it is, I think it's good, not like those creatures that stand and walk on two legs.”

“Well then find where it is coming from,” insisted Spark.

The two ponies searched the area for where the faint crying noise was coming from for about three minutes. Axe had no luck of finding where the noise was coming from and gave up because he was probably being tricked by his own mind.  

Spark looked into a broken store window and she saw a dark gray filly that is a pegasus. Spark was worried about the filly and she got into the store and tried to comfort her.

“I want MY MOMMY AND DADDY BACK!” The little filly cried out.

“Oh sweetie calm down, it's okay, it's okay, you are safe now,” said Spark as she tried to comfort the crying filly with her words and by hugging it.

“Why...did my mommy and (sniffle) daddy...die Miss?” The little filly asked Spark still crying.

“Well sweetie, you see there are very bad monsters out there that don't like us and want to hurt us,” Spark said to try and answer the filly's question.

“But why do they want to hurt us?”

“Because the monsters don't know any better and are too dumb to leave us alone. What's your name kid?”

“My name is Tornado miss.”

Spark thought she comforted Tornado enough since she stopped crying but when she let go of hugging Tornado, the filly wouldn't let go of her. Spark put her legs back around Tornado and started rubbing her back.

Axe looked into the store window and saw Spark comforting the filly. He was getting a little jealous of Tornado so he backed off and acted like he didn't see them or the filly yet.

“Hey Tornado, can you please get off of me please. Theres some pony I want you to meet,” requested Spark and Tornado obeyed.

Tornado stopped hugging Spark and got off of her. The two ponies jumped out of the store and Spark said to Tornado “Tornado, meet Axe. Axe, meet Tornado.”

“Yes thats very nice well I think we should be going. Very soon in fact I think we should be going now or we will be regretting to ever come here in the first place,” said Axe not impressed by Tornado.

“Well what do you mean by that Axe?” Spark asked curiously.

“I mean I think something something bad is going to happen if we don't get out of the city right now.” Axe insisted urgently.

The three ponies looked up into the sky where a noise interrupted their conversation.

Spark's face lit up into a big smile when she saw three helicopters circling their position.

“Well what could be bad about our own army?!” Spark asked while sounding excited that she would be rescued.      

The ground started shaking underneath them and Axe yelled out “Not the Army. THAT!”

A Corpser broke through the ground and shrieked at the three ponies. The Corpser was going to bury the three ponies under the ground alive and by doing this it lifted it's two front legs and quickly tried to stab it's legs into the ground. One of the legs that was going to hit the ground to sink them was going to hit Tornado directly from above.

“TORNADO!!!!” Spark yelled out as she jumped and pushed the filly out of the way from the incoming leg. Spark hugged the filly close to her as she did a barrel roll in the air to dodge the leg.

As soon as the leg hit the ground, the ground underneath the three ponies sank quickly underground. The three ponies fell about ten to fifteen feet into the ground into the Corpser made cave. Rocks fell from above the three ponies splitting the group up into twos.

Hid and Seek in the Dark

Chapter Thirteen:

Hide and Seek in the Dark:

Axe fell into the ground with piles of rocks falling on top of him. He hit the ground by hitting his back first on the floor. The pain was bad when he fell and hit the floor but it was nothing compared to all of the rocks falling on top of him.

Axe screamed in pain from the rocks pelting him from above and the rocks piled all on top of him except for his face was sticking out. He was stuck underneath all of the rocks and he couldn't get himself out. He needed help.

Spark tumble rolled hitting the ground with force that only skinned part of her back keeping the filly safe in her chest. She dodged passed the falling boulders and rocks that were coming down from the surface.

The boulders and rocks closed in from the ceiling of the cave revealing only the black void of the darkness. The sunlight disappeared just as the Corpser came up out of nowhere. Nothing could be seen in the cave.

When Spark stopped hearing the rocks and boulders hitting the ground with tremendous force, she released Tornado that was hugged nearly to death. Spark couldn't see anything so she called on her magic and her horn turned almost into a flare.

Tornado adjusted her eyes to the light and stayed close to Spark a little scared of the dark cave.

“Its ok Torn, don't be scared, I'll protect you if any monster wants to mess with us,” Spark said confidently but easy from the pain on her back.

“Wheres Axe Spark?!” Tornado responded even more scared then before.

“Oh my gosh! AXE!!!!” Spark screamed as she tried to dig away the rocks separating them from Axe.

Spark kept trying to dig through all of the rocks but then she stopped with a tear coming down her face. She fell to the ground unwilling to do anything anymore.

Tornado nuzzled next to her and started nudging her.

“Why are you doing that Torn?” Spark said softly blushing.

“Because, you saved me from the big spider. My mommy would do the same thing. Can you love me like my mommy did?”

“You mean you want me to be your...mother? Why?”

“Please Spark? I want a mommy to love again. Please Spark? Please?” Tornado begged with an adorable expression.

“I don't know. We'll see. I think that Axe is on the side of the rock wall,” Spark said.

“How do we get on the other side?”

“I think we have to go down the...dark...cave. Hopefully it leads to him somehow.”

Spark got off the floor and started walking down the long and dark cave. Tornado followed her closely behind and she asked her “Mommy? Can I get on your back?”

“What? Oh uhh...sure. Just don't be rough against it,” Spark responded.

Spark gently used her magic to pick up the filly and put her on her back. Tornado gently laid across her back and closed her eyes. Tornado was so tired that she immediately fell asleep.

Spark never noticed since she was too focused on trying to find Axe.

She walked through many caves for hours that had intersections and sometimes were led to a dead end or a cave in.      

After three hours of searching she heard a low, weak, groan. She thought that it had to be Axe injured or a Corpser sleeping. Either way, she went to investigate.

She tried to see if she was going the right way by hearing if it got louder or lower. She walked and walked towards the low constant groan that was getting louder and louder until she found the cave in. She ran towards it and started digging Axe up.

Spark lifted a big rock and underneath it was Axe's head with scrape marks. She quickly pulled rocks off him, picked him up, and hugged him tight.

Axe hugged her back with tears coming down both of their faces. Spark kissed his cheek and rested her head back on Axe's shoulder. Axe responded with him kissing her body.

Axe was crying along with Spark and then she cried out “I'm sorry Axe I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to separate from you. I'm sorry for leaving you on your own. Please don't be mad at me for not coming to save you sooner. I was scared and...and I thought you were gone and...and I was going to die from a big spider beast like before the incident. I should have listened to you in the first place!”  

“Shhhh, its okay Sparky. You don't have to be sorry. I know that you'd never leave me,” Axe started rubbing Spark's back and kissed her in the cheek. “I'm not mad at you. I'm just happy that everypony is okay.”

Axe laid back onto the ground with Spark laying on top still hugging him and crying. Tornado was sleeping beside them unaware of anything that just happened for the last five minutes. Spark finally calmed down and she said “I'm sorry Axe. Please forgive me.”

“I already told you, you don't have to be sorry. Its not your fault. I still love you no matter what you do,” Axe said in a comforting voice.  

Spark got up of him and she rubbed the liquid off her eyes and cheek and looked at Tornado. She walked towards it and she used her magic to put Tornado on her back again. She swung her head towards the opposite direction of the cave and looked back at Axe wanting him to follow her.

Axe rushed to her side following her through the dark, long, eerie cave.

“Axe? Do you know what Tornado told me before I went looking for you?” Spark asked knowing that he wouldn't know the answer to it.

“I have no idea. What?”

“Well she told me that she wanted me to be her...her...” Spark paused not knowing how this could come out right.

“Her what? Tell me!” Axe demanded.

“Mother. Her new mother,” she said not looking at Axe anymore.  

“Mother? Well what did you say?”

“I said that we would have to see,” she said.

“Thats all? You mean you don't know if you want to or not or do you mean if you will survive this catastrophe?” Axe said needing to know.

“Yes,” Spark responded not sure of her answer.

“Both? What do you mean? You will make it more farther then me if we were ever to be rescued,” Axe said trying to assure her.

“I know but still. I don't know if she would really want me to be her mother. I'm single, I need a husband to help me and we need a new place to live and...theres just too many things I would have to do for me to be her legal guardian or...mother,” she said not convinced.

“I'll be your husband, I'll help you with everything, I'll get us a new place to live, and everything else. You can't turn down a filly that needs you the most. Thats just...wrong,” he said.

“Lets make a deal, if we win this war, we can become husband and wife, and we can adopt her to be our daughter. If we don't, then we don't adopt her to be our daughter and we give her to the orphanage for her to find new parents. That seem fair?” She said in an irresistible tone.

“Sparky, you've got yourself a deal!” He said cheerfully.

“Good. And Never, Ever, Call Me Sparky!” She said angrily.    

“Yes Spark. Whatever you say,” he said rolling his eyes as he still kept up with her.

The two ponies walked through the cave shivering in fear and had goosebumps on them. They were so afraid that somepony or something is going to sneak up behind them. It had been like that for three hours.

Axe constantly every ten seconds looked behind them to see if anything was following them. He was never convinced that there was nothing there. He always knew that his eyes were deceiving him but his heart and mind knew that there had to be something.

Tornado was still asleep on Spark's back with an unconscious mind of where she was. All that she knew was that she was in one of her little dream worlds again that most of the time she forgot when she woke up.

Spark kept trying and trying to figure out a way back to the surface and praying to Celestia and Luna that she wasn't going to lead the small group to a Corpser lair.

When the cave was heading for a turn where more light was coming in and when Spark looked that way, she saw a few Locusts on patrol heading her way. Three Theron Guards, two Drones, and one Mauler. The Mauler unaware of the ponies was leading his patrol straight towards them.

Spark immediately rushed jerking Axe's tail and pulling him behind a big rock on the side of the cave. She forcefully ducked and made Axe duck behind the rock so that the Locusts would pass them without even knowing it. She called off her magic and the light coming from her horn faded and they were in complete darkness.

She was waiting to hear the pounding footsteps coming from the biggest enemy for half a second. She still didn't hear anything walking near her and was beginning to get impatient. She was beginning to think that she hid behind a dusty rocky for nothing. She slowly peered her head over the rock seeing if anything was there. And then she was immediately jerked back towards the ground.

She looked at who was tugging her and she was staring at Axe shaking head “no”.

The two ponies then was caught off-guard by loud pounding from one of the Locusts.

The Mauler pounded his way past the three ponies not noticing them. After a few seconds, the other five smaller Locusts walked past them following the Mauler.

Spark waited one minute for the Locusts to be gone. She got up and walked against a stone carved wall with stone carved columns connecting the walls together.

She looked inside through a crack in the wall observing the guarded area. She then signaled for Axe to come to her silently. She then looked back into the crack to continue observing the secure landscape.

Axe picked up Tornado and he walked silently to Spark.

“What do you see in there?” Axe asked.

“Go see for yourself,” Spark replied being cocky as she backed away from the hole.

Axe looked inside the hole and he was astonished at what he saw.

“Oh my god. Thats...horrible,” Axe said with his jaw dropped.

“I know Axe. It is horrible isn't it?” She said with a frown.

“Why would they do such a thing? How? What? Who? Too many questions, so little time,” he said still looking through the hole.

He saw some ponies being turned into hard working slaves. He saw some ponies being tortured for no reason. He saw some ponies laying on the floor dead or unconscious. He saw some ponies being executed. He saw Locusts everywhere in the place. He saw some ponies being ravaged by some other Locusts. It was one of the worst things that could ever happen in pony history.

He backed away from the hole slowly in horror.

“What are we going to do Spark?” Axe said hugging one of her legs traumatized.

“Theres no more time for love anymore Axe. If its war they want, its war they get,” Spark replied angrily ready to face the whole world of Locusts.

The Love in War

Chapter Fourteen:

The Love in War

Axe wondered what Spark was thinking in her head and was beginning to get a little frightened in wanting to know. He looked at her hoping that they both didn't have to go into the Locust stronghold alone fighting their way through millions of monsters attempting to reach the surface without any reinforcements.

“Spark please tell me that we aren't going in there. Please don't make me go in there. I will never forgive you if you make me go in there,” Axe said begging her as he accidentally woke Tornado.

“Huh? What? Whats happening mommy?” Tornado asked just waking up.

“Uhh...nothing sweetie. Go back to sleep,” Spark said immediately.

Tornado closed her eyes and then fell back asleep on Axe's back resting her head on his neck.

Spark sighed in relief thankfully that Tornado wasn't awake for what they were about to get themselves into.

“I'm sorry Axe, its the only way out of here. I spied on another cave leading back up to the surface I think. But there is something else I want to do down here before we leave,” Spark said.

“What is it besides getting ourselves caught and killed in just a second after we walk through that door?” Axe asked sarcastically.

“We need to find a way to save all of the ponies. They are innocent and need to be saved. There are fillies and colts in there forced to do insane hard labor,” she said trying to convince Axe.

Axe looked at her with a long blank stare and then he said “I'm not going through with this. Your idea is impossible and stupid. Stop acting like that everything will be alright in the process. It is impossible to save them. Attempting to do that would be me walking straight in the stronghold, and yelling my ass off at the monsters saying “KILL ME!””

“The only thing is impossible is getting any common sense through that thick skull of yours. You are so selfish that you don't even think about others that need your help besides yourself. I'm going in there whether you like it or not and I will put my life on the line to save those PONIES!!!” Spark said yelling at him walking towards the dark gray huge door.

“Spark...wait!” Axe said looking at her in fear.

“What!?!?” Spark answered.

“I'm coming with you,” Axe said looking a little ill.

“You know I'm not forcing you to come. You can leave and go on your own at any time,” replied Spark who turned to him with an angry expression.

“But...I don't want to leave you,” he said quietly. “I never want to leave you. I want to be with you forever.”

“Fine then don't try to stop me from doing what I need to do,” she said.

“Yes Spark,” Axe said looking to the ground with a sorry expression.

Spark leaned against the stone carved wall and peaked back into the crack. She observed the area some more for about three seconds before she was ready to go in.

She looked at him and nodded. She started towards the front of the gray stone door. She closed her eyes and started letting some red energy flow to her horn.

Axe watched in puzzlement wondering what else she had to show off against him. The door started shaking and her red flow of energy was transferred all around the door.

One of the double doors started opening out slowly while the other didn't.

Spark made it open enough so that she could squeeze their bodies through without alerting the Locusts. After one of the doors was open, she retracted her red powerful energy back into her.

Axe stood in amazement not knowing how to react to her looking at him waiting for his response.

“That is very...cool. Is it hard for you to do that?” Axe asked.

“Not at all Axe. Simple magic technique to unicorns,” Spark replied.

Axe didn't know what to say besides stare back at her as she was glaring at him with an irresistible smile.

Spark turned back to the door and took cover from behind it. She peered around it seeing if any Locusts located them yet. She used her hoof to tell Axe to come to her by the door.

Axe slowly made his way to her and took cover behind her.  

She peered back to see the entrance and she crawled to another piece of cover in front of the door.

The cover was a carved long piece of stone laying in the middle of the entrance for no apparent reason.

She lifted her head above it and then a Kantus, two Theron Guard, and two Drones spotted her and started blasting their guns. Spark with very good reflexes, ducked behind the piece of cover avoiding the bullets by an inch.

Axe started getting afraid that Spark had gotten killed on sight. He looked without revealing himself to see if she was still alive and sighed in relief that she was okay, for now.

Tornado woke up scared and frightened from the loud sounds coming from the guns and hugged Axe harder then before. She closed her eyes and kept repeating in her mind that she wanted the sounds to stop.

Axe kept on trying to assure her that everything was going to be okay but she didn't listen to him. As he did that, he kept observing the battle to see how Spark was doing.

Spark frowning angrily saw that there was a pistol near her. She called on her magic and she pulled the gun towards her. She knew that she couldn't get aim and fire at the Locusts while they were shooting at her, so she blind fired the weapon without revealing any of her body parts from the cover.

She wasted half of the magazine while only getting three accurate shots but she didn't kill or down them.

The Locusts that were shot, continued on fighting until they were killed. All of the Locusts wasted their hole magazine and they all attempted to reload at the same time.

Spark seeing that there was a break in fire leaned on top of the cover with the gun levitating above her head, wrapping her hooves against the other side of the cover.

She concentrated on shooting the gun revealing her teeth as she had an angry expression and she shot her last six shots. She scored three perfect head shots that left only the Kantus and the two Theron Guards.

The three remaining Locusts reloaded and fired again at her.

Fortunately for her, she got back into cover in time and all they shot was the other side of the cover.

Axe walked in amazement how skillfully trained she was in battle alone. He wished that he was as good her, as fast as her, and as smart as she was.

Spark had a useless weapon that had no ammunition for it. She looked all around for a new weapon or more ammunition that she could use but found none. She was trapped and knew that she wasn't going to be able to hold them off for long.

“A little help would be nice Axe!!!” Spark yelled needing assistance. He looked around him for anything that he could use and found a red and black box. He opened it and found ammunition for many types of weapons.

He recognized one of the ammunition clips that Spark could use for her pistol.  

He picked one up with his teeth and dropped it on the ground in front of him.

“Spark!!!” Axe yelled trying to grab her attention.

Spark looked at him still with an angry expression and saw that Axe slid a magazine to her on the ground. She grinned a little and reloaded.

She evaded out of cover barrel rolling out in the open and shot her gun at the Theron Guards.

The two Locusts were repeatedly shot in the stomach and they fell to the ground dead. One of them survived and started crawling towards the Kantus but the Kantus didn't even bother in reviving him.

The Kantus not happy at the results he was getting, started screeching out into the open.

Spark was confused at what the Kantus was doing and she just watched him.

Just then, five Tickers came out of nowhere and started ticking their way over to Spark. The Tickers got near Spark and wanted to self-destruct themselves wanting to kill the pony in the process.

Spark used her magic and flung them back at the Kantus who was getting really pissed.

Spark shot her last three shots at the Tickers and they exploded around the Kantus.

The Kantus was injured but wasn't down for the count. He started shooting at the pony but when he was about to aim his gun at her, he saw that Spark jumped over him with a red fiery mane and tail.

She whacked her tail hard against the Kantus' chest causing him to get 3rd degree burns on his skin.

The Kantus screeched in pain loudly and was stunned by the quick attack.

As Spark landed behind the Kantus, she ruthlessly whacked her tail at the Kantus' back causing him to fall to the ground screeching in pain even more loud then before from a worser 3rd degree burn.

The Kantus started crawling away with blood leaking from his chest and back.

Spark was then going to execute him from her small taste of victory because she thought that she deserved it. As she was standing over the downed Kantus, she looked to her right and saw a Sniper Locust was going to snipe her head off.

She was too late to dodge the sudden attack and she could see her whole life flash before her eyes. She then got a tenth of a second to see the Sniper before she would die and then she saw a Frag Grenade thrown fast at the Sniper which knocked the gun out of his hands and was replaced by the armed explosive.

The Sniper holding the Frag Grenade started yelling and the three quick beeps was released from it and then it exploded causing the Sniper's body part to split apart and go all over the walls.

Spark stood still as if she was frozen in a block of ice. She then felt a kiss on her cheek and then she heard the words “Your not the only pony thats going to help win this war.”

She then looked at him a smile and she hugged him.

“Thanks for saving me Axe,” Spark said as she gave a long kiss on his cheek.

Axe started getting blushed and he rubbed his head against her.

Spark let go of him but kept giving him the irresistible smile. She then turned around and said “Come on this way.”

Axe started following Spark with the frightened little Tornado on his back. He followed her up some stairs and made their way before a wooden drawbridge.

The draw bridge was closed.  

They took cover behind some more pieces of scattered stone pieces and plotted out their plan.

“So what do we do now?” Axe asked hoping that Spark would have an answer.

“Well its pretty obvious that we cant just walk across without being spotted. There must be at least fifteen or twenty guards guarding that place,” Spark said.

“So? What do we do to get across?” Axe said.

“There are machine gun turrets over the bridge. Two of them with that weird shrieking guard leader. There must be five of the bow and explosive arrow guards and ten of those regular guards,” Spark said still observing the draw bridge and its inhabitants.

“Okay but still, how do we get across?!?!”

“We either are going to have to kill them all or we will have to sneak across,” replied Spark.

“You pick. Your better at this then me,” Axe said.

“Oh fine then I choose to challenge ourselves by attacking full on,” Spark said  grinning as she was picking up a Longshot Sniper Rifle with her magic.

Axe shook his head in disappointment but still went along with her plan. He picked up a pony gun carrier and put on his back and set Tornado on the ground. He then picked up a Boomshot and put it on his gun carrier. He then put a saddle bag on him filled with Boomshot ammunition.

He had a grin on his face satisfied with his armaments as he looked at Spark waiting for her signal to start the battle.

Spark watched carefully over the draw bridge watching the two Troika gunners and the Kantus. She kept spying on the three wondering which to shoot first.

Spark thought of taking out the Kantus first. She aimed the Sniper Rifle at the Kantus' head and she said “Steady...Steady.....NOW!”

She used her magic to pull the trigger and the gun made a loud noise and when the Kantus looked at her, his head exploded.

The rest of the Kantus' body just stood there doing nothing and then he fell to the ground dead. The Troika Turret gunners took action and started laying fire on the three ponies.

Spark took cover in time and reloaded her weapon. Her sniper could only load one high caliber piercing bullet per load.

When Spark heard the Troika Turrets overheat, she said “Axe! Shoot the Turret Now!!!”

Axe got up revealing himself and shot the grenade launcher at the turret. He then ducked back in cover, reached in his saddle bag for some another  

The Gunner exploded into bloody pieces splattering some of his blood on the other Troika gunner next to him.

A Locust drone ran past the Troika Gunner and pulled on a switch. The draw bridge lowered and on the other side were two Grinders, ten Grenadiers, three Grenadier Elites, and a Butcher.

“Awe Shit!!! WERE SCREWED!!!” Axe yelled as bullets were pelting the hell out of the cover they had.

“Pull it Together Axe!!!”

Axe only had three shots left to use before he ran out of ammo. He blind fired two and when he had the last one, he thought of letting Spark use since she was better at using weapons.

“Spark here, you need it more then I do,” said Axe.

“No I don't I can hold myself out here alone longer then you can. Make the last one count. For me,” Spark said blind firing her side arm.

Axe reloaded his weapon, and put it over the cover without aiming. He shot it and the projectile hit the Grinder causing him to explode along with three Grenadiers.

Spark didn't see the Butcher as it snuck up behind her.

“Hunger!” It said as he swung his big knife at her.

“AAAAAHHH!!!” Spark screamed in pain as she fell to the ground with blood draining down her neck.

“Spark NOO!!!!” Axe yelled.

The big gash across Spark's neck caused her to start coughing up some blood since the cut was very deep.

The Butcher then made another attack by doing the final blow ending her life. He swung his big knife at her attempting to do his execution but then he fell back to the ground by the tremendous force that pushed him.

Axe with the angriest expression he ever bestowed started punching the Butcher's face causing him to start bleeding with his helmet popping off him. He kept on punching and punching wanting the Butcher to regret ever making that mistake as the bullets flew past them and the Butcher couldn't get a hold of the pony.

The Butcher was overwhelmed by the sudden attack that he was knocked out unconscious causing Axe to turn his head to Spark that was bleeding with a few tears coming down her face since it hurt so much.

Axe ran to her ignoring all of the Locusts firing at the two. He picked up Spark,  brought her close to him, and tried to comfort her.

The two ponies never knew that they were surrounded by Locusts with guns pointed directly at their skulls as Tornado did but hid from them watching the scene, frightened.

One of the Locusts split the two ponies apart from each other and shoved them in a metal cylinder and locked them up in it.

The two ponies tried and tried to break out of it but their strength or magic wasn't strong enough for the hard substance to budge.

Tornado watched as her two guardians were transported away but she followed them unnoticed behind.

The other Locusts moved the cylinders into a large room full of other metal cylinders with other ponies or humans (Nazis) in them. All of the Locusts left leaving the creatures' fate hanging on the balance of life or death.

Some Locusts fought over what should be done of the two ponies; an execution, turning them into slaves of hard labor, or torture. Others went to the queen and waited for her reply of what was to be done with them.

“Spark??? Are you okay?” Axe whispered out of the hole in the metal cylinder.

“No! My neck hurts and these sons of bitches are going to pay dearly for this once I break out of here!!!” Spark replied furious and frustrated.    

“I'm sorry I didn't save you from them. I couldn't do anything. I was stuck between a rock and a hard decision,” he said.

“Aww don't be sorry. It's not your fault. Its my fault that I got us into this mess. You were right Axe I should of listened to you from the start. I'm so sorry I didn't listen to you,” she said with a tear going down her face.

“Its okay Spark. I forgive you. How do we get out of this...thing?”

“What do I look like a fucking genius? I don't know Axe I cant thing of a solution of everything,” she said angrily.

Tornado peaked inside of the room where Spark and Axe were brought in and then said “Mommy? Are you in here? Axe?”

“Oh well she calls you mommy but she cant call me daddy. How delightful,” Axe said to Spark.

“Shut up Axe! Over here Torn. We need you to open this box thing so that you can let us out.” Spark said cheerfully that there was help.

“Okay but how?” tornado replied confusingly.

“Is there a lock on it or a key pad or anything on the front of it?” Spark said.

“Theres a lock on it,” Tornado said.

“Then you need to go find a key to open it,” Spark said.

Tornado flew around the room in search of anything that could be a key. She looked around but she couldn't find anything. She then found a shelf next to the wall and on the top shelf was a key. She flew over, picked it up using her mouth, and flew back to Spark's cage and she opened the door to it.

Spark fell out of the metal cylinder excitedly as she fell on top of Tornado hugging and kissing her.

“Tornado I love you so much thank you!” Spark said smiling.

Spark stopped hugging her and picked up the key using her magic and she unlocked Axe out of his restraint.

Axe fell out of it dropping to the ground a little scared.

“Nice to have you with us,” Spark said with a smirk on her face.

“Just thought I'd drop by if you know what I mean,” Axe said with Spark chuckling from his come back.

Axe picked himself off the floor and walked to another metal cylinder that was calling out to him.

“Hey you. Do you mind letting me out of here please? I can help you get to the surface if you let me out,” said the pony.

“Spark do you think we should let him out?” Axe asked still looking at the cylinder.

“Sure but if its one of those two legged monsters I'm shoving him right back in!” Spark said as she put the key in the lock, twisted it, and used her magic to open the door.

A pony fell out, stood up, and said “Thanks for letting me out. I must have been in there for hours!”

“Now you said that you could help us with our “problem”?” Spark said with her eyebrows down at him.

“Oh yes. I can help. I'm a pony soldier from the Alpha 6 platoon. Me and some others were captured by them beasts and dragged down here. I can by trying to escort you guys out to the surface,” the pony said.

Spark then raised her eyebrows convinced that he would help them and then said “Yeah I know what you mean. We were in Bravo 9. We were trying to make our way back to civilization when our unit Bravo was under attack and we ended up in Stalliongrad only ending up to be burrowed under the ground,”

Spark said.

“Thats rough. Now I guess we unlock the others and you can lead everypony to the surface?” The pony said.

“Sure,” she said.

Axe just watched the green unicorn stallion with the orange mane and tail talk with Spark in jealousy. He walked away looking for a weapon that he could holster onto his back as Spark unlocked three more cylinders.

Spark and the other four ponies got their weapons and were disturbed by another voice that spoke Equestrian.

“Hey you talking ponies! Please let me out of here!” The mysteries being said.

“Who are you?” Spark demanded seeing that the other pony didn't recognize this guy.

“Let me out and I'll tell you,” he said.

Spark opened it slowly and was shocked to see one of the two legged beasts that didn't look as ugly as the Locusts.

“Your one of them!” Spark yelled out as she pushed him to the ground and had her leg on his neck choking him.

“Ple...ease! Ahhh!  Here me.... out! Stop....choking me!” The human said not defending himself from her.

Spark eased up but still didn't let him get up. She had an angry expression on her face with the hunger of killing this guy.

“My name is Private Johnathon. I'm not of what you think. Those other guys that look like me that attacked your cities, I'm not with them. I was a spy for their enemy spying on them until they caught me and made me their prisoner,” The human said.

“And thats suppose to make me believe you?! Our people attacked mine and wanted world domination!!! You killed my friends, family, and relatives and you expect me to give you mercy?!?!?!”

“I know your upset. I am as well believe it or not. Allow me to explain,” The human said. “My planet is under a world war the second one actually. The enemy, the ones that killed your people, are the Nazis. They are the biggest threat on our planet right now. These are the same people that started the first world war in less then three decades. The Nazis have allies called the Japanese and the Italians which make it harder for the allied forces to end this war. The Allies make up the Russians, Americans, British, and Canadians. I am an American spy that was spying on a secret Nazi base. I was spotted and was captured and made their prisoner,” said John.

“Yeah and...what are these other ugly things? What are your species? And how did you “Nazis” get to my planet anyway?!” Spark said angrily not letting up.

“We are called the humans. When I was spying on the Nazi base, I saw that they were making a machine maybe like a time warp machine because they wanted to escape the Earth because they were losing the war since the Russians were charging at them like wild bulls. An error or something happened and we all ended up on this planet. And as for the other question, I have no fucking idea of what these things are. Our planet wouldn't know what to do with one if they captured them,” John said looking a little scared that the pony might execute him.

“Why should I believe you?” Spark said.

“Because I'll do what ever you want. Theres no possible way for me to ever go back to Earth so I might as well make a living here. I will fight for your species against these things and you can be my commander,” John said.

“As much as I can never forgive your people for corrupting our peaceful world, I can not kill you, therefore I make you follow me where ever I go and you shall be my body guard and do as I say until this storm of evil blows over. Then I will present you to Princess Celestia. She will know what to do with you,” Spark said frustrated.

John nodded at her and she got off him releasing him from her grip.

John got up and he said “do you mind telling me what this planet is and who you ponies are?”

“This is Equestria in case you haven't noticed and my name is Spark. Tornado is the Pegasus over there. Axe is the Earth pony over there,” Spark replied.

“Can I pick up a weapon of my choice without scaring you?” John asked.

“Whatever just don't point it at me,” Spark said as she walked away.

John found a Lancer Assault Rifle on the ground, picked it up, and grinned at the weapon he chosen.

“Tornado wheres Axe?” Spark asked.

“I don't know mommy.” Tornado said looking around.      

Axe walked back into the room with a Mulcher on his back grinning but was struggling to keep it steady.

“Axe give me that weapon. I can really use something that good,” Spark said demanding him to give it to her.

“No way. This is mine and I'm keeping it,” Axe said furiously not caring about anything and was craving for the sight of battle.

“I demand that you hand over the weapon now,” Spark said.

“Never! This is mine and mine alone,” Axe said.

“Spark we are ready for the occupation,” said the green unicorn.

“Yes of course...?” Spark said expecting the green Pegasus to reveal his identity.

“Corporal Molotov Cocktail. Experienced with fire demolitions,” Molotov said.

“We are both alike then I guess,” Spark said smiling at him.

Axe saw what her expression was which made him even more jealous and angry at her.

“Spark then moved on towards the exit of the room where they'd expect Locust Guards to be out at.

Spark then yelled out “Gentlemen get into cover!”

The three Privates that followed the Corporal's orders got into cover next to the door against the wall waiting for their moment to strike. The Corporal crouched into cover right next to Spark which made Axe angrier. He got into a piece of cover alone with his Mulcher pointed directly at the door. John got into cover alone with his Lancer.

One of the Privates tagged two grenades to the door and got back into cover at a safe distance.

The grenade exploded causing the door to blow open and a shock of an alarm  went throughout the Locust stronghold. Locust Drones and Grenadiers started roadie running towards the place and the ponies and human waited for them patiently, carefully, planning out their next move.

When the Drones arrived first, they were greeted by incoming fire from Axe's Mulcher. Grenadiers kept on pouring in and they as well, kept getting killed by Axe.

But by his fifteenth kill, his gun overheated and he got into cover. The three privates, Spark, Molotov, and John started shooting at the incoming Locusts trying to repel them.

Many Grenadiers and Drones were outmatched and they soon started retreating. The three privates along with Molotov leading them were the first of the group to go out into the open raging against the Locusts.

Spark then ran out to join them with a grin on her face and John tagged along with her. They fended off the Locusts that kept on coming and soon there was no more that dared to go and fight them.

The team thought that they had a small taste of victory when less and less Locusts came to fight them. Without warning, a Reaver landed and it started shooting at the ponies.

The three privates were surprised by this sudden attack. They were out of cover and were too far from it but they held their ground when they stuck together.

John was reloading out of cover and didn't notice the Reaver targeting him. John was too focused on how to reload his weapon that he didn't notice that the Reaver shot at his direction. He exploded splattering blood everywhere and there was nothing left of him.

Spark didn't tear up this time that somebody died because she never truly trusted him or like him at all.

Two of the three Privates started running away while the other Private stood where he was out of cover and then was stabbed by the Reaver's leg. The Private was stabbed straight through his back out his stomach. He stood there frozen without a sound or inch of movement and fell to the ground.

The ponies then took this action to find a piece of cover from the Reaver's path of destruction.

Each of the ponies when they running, were confronted by a wooden textured wall that would pop out of the ground if they got near it. There were many different sizes of these walls that provided cover from enemy bullets.

Surprisingly to them, they would've thought that the wall since it looked like a wall of wood, wasn't strong enough for the bullets to not penetrate it. But it was actually strong and hard enough to stop the bullets on contact unlike concrete would.

The ponies got into the advanced piece of cover and tried to all shoot the Reaver when it wasn't targeting them.

Axe was still inside the room with his Mulcher as he got out of cover and started towards the exit to where the others were. He wasn't rushing since he thought that he had the best weapon in all of Equestria and was jealous of Molotov apparently flirting with Spark.

Axe just from the group eying Molotov since he despised him.

The group's effectiveness wasn't that effective so Spark looked for an opportunity to attack the Reaver melee style.

Spark waited for the right moment to rage on fire to defeat the Reaver.

Molotov was confused at what Spark was planning to do but he didn't question her. He knew that as hot as she was, she had to be thinking of something to win this small battle.

The Reaver turned its attention at the two Privates that were behind the same piece of cover. It started going towards them still firing at them and he was about to kill another of the ponies with his legs.

He lifted one of it's front legs and clashed it down towards one of them.

Spark quickly fired herself up with her fiery mane and tail, leaped out of cover, and used her flaming tail to cut the Reaver's leg.

The Reaver's leg fell off and blood squirted all over the ground beneath it. It started screeching in pain as it has never felt this much of pain before. It turned to Spark which was almost faster then the blink of an eye.

Spark quickly dashed, cut another leg, and used her magic to start scorching the Reaver.

The Reaver fell to the ground screeching in pain louder and then it exploded.

Reaver guts and body parts flew ever narrowly missing Spark by an inch.

Everypony had their jaws dropped and stood there with amazement and adoration of Spark. They all were with an expression that they have never displayed for a long time. Molotov stood there breathless looking at her as he never did before except for Axe which stood there with a disappointed expression. But inside him, he was overwhelmed by her actions.

Spark died down her flames and turned her appearance back to normal. She stood there crossing her front two legs, blushing from everypony staring at her.

“Sarge...you saved me,” Said the Private.

“I did,” Spark answered.

“Nice moves Spark. Never seen anything like it,” Molotov said smiling at her in admiration.

Spark turned to see what Axe was going to say about her but when she did, she didn't see him. She looked all around her and saw Axe walking up a flight of stairs dragging his over-sized machine gun on his back.

“Axe! Where are you going!?” Spark said yelling towards his direction.

“To fight. Where else?” Axe called back not stopping or turning to look back at her.

“We were supposed to go up these flight of stairs, that would've led us to the exit of this cavern. Going on that flight of stairs would lead you to the heart of the cavern. In other words, the leader of the enemy is there,” Molotov said trying to inform Spark of where Axe was headed.

Axe kept walking up the stairs disappearing from Spark's or any other pony's  view.     

Spark started after Axe trying to stop him and convince him to go with them.

“Axe! Stop!” Spark yelled as she was running after him.

“What Spark? What do you want?” Axe said furious.

“Where are you going? The way out of the cavern and back to the surface is that way,” she said.

“And the way to stop the war is this way. Now if you don't mind, I'm trying to save Equestria from it's downfall,” Axe said not looking back at Spark.

“Theres nothing that you can do to stop this war. They're too powerful for you alone. Let alone all of us tagging along by your side. Your going on a suicide mission,” she said.

Axe stopped and turned to look at her and said “Then come with me. Come with me so that we can stop this one and for all, together. Nopony else. Just  you and me Spark. Together we were able to accomplish so much without that big of a problem,” he said.

“Our mission is for you to follow my orders and not disobey what I have said. Our mission is to end this war by Celestia's knowledge, not yours. Our mission is to free all of the ponies trapped down here and get them to the surface for evac,” Spark said.

“I can't just stand on the side lines and watch ponies one by one get dragged underground, get tortured, and then get put in a line of hard laborers. If your not with me, then go back home. I can do this myself without anypony telling me what to do!” Axe said.

Axe turned back around and started again up the stone stairs.

Spark didn't bother going after him again and she had only one thing to say to him “Fine Axe. Go ahead. Nopony's stopping you.”

Spark turned around pissed off saying “Is he shitten me?!?!?!”

She regrouped with the others and saw Tornado out of hiding this time near Molotov.

“Wheres Axe?” Molotov asked without changing his expression.

“Lets just go. I don't want to be here when they figure out his stupid ass plan,” she said.

Molotov followed her along with Tornado and the Private tagging along with her.      

Jealousy

Chapter Fifteen:

Jealousy

Spark was leading the group with Molotov at her side; directing her to where he thinks there is a way to get to the other ponies being held captive. She was a little upset but she was mostly filled with anger and hatred towards Axe. She was glad that there was silence between the group for a few minutes other wise she would've taken her anger out on them.

Tornado followed as close as she could to Spark still wondering what happened and where Axe was going.

“Mommy...” Tornado said as she was rudely interrupted.

“Sweetie can you please stop calling me mommy. I'm not your mother Tornado. Call me Spark,” Spark replied angrily.

“Um...” Tornado gulped a little scared. “Yes Spark.”

Tornado slowly moved away from Spark and Spark never noticed her slightly moving away.

“Now what did you want to ask me?” Spark said without looking at Tornado.

“I was wondering...what happened to Axe?” Tornado asked.

“Axe...Axe is going to help us stop the enemy leader by himself,” Spark answered.

“Spark the route to the pony slaves are blocked by the locked door. What is your recommendation?” Molotov said and exactly after he said that, the double doors that were dark gray and made out of stone started getting banged on from the other side.

“Well find some cover colts!” Spark yelled. “Tornado hide!”

Spark got into cover with her pistol drawn out. She saw a Hammerburst Assault Rifle and she used her magic to pull it towards her. She now had two weapons pointed at the door where dust was falling from the ceiling because of the pounding of the door.

Molotov took cover near Spark again because he liked being near her. He thought that he was safe and more comfortable if he was around her then anypony else.

The door blasted open and two Maulers with their heavy metal shields and explosive mace came through the doorway. Behind them were five drones and their Hammerbursts, a Kantus with his Gorgon pistol, and three Theron Guards in their elite armor.

The Kantus, drones, and Theron Guards kept running at them until they got into cover by the rising, wooden, hard walls.

The two opposing forces fought out against each other dodging waves after waves of bullets being chunked at each and every one of them.

The ponies weren't being effective that much since there was a long gap between them and the mysterious creatures. And also that the Locusts weren't even aiming ten percent of the time while the ponies were. The thing that really had an effect against the group was the two Maulers coming at them.

The Maulers crouched and slowly walked closer and closer to where the ponies were with their shield aimed at them deflecting their bullets.

“How the fuck are we supposed to kill these things Sarge?!?!?!” One of the Privates said.

“I don't know just hit'em harder!” Spark yelled back struggling to kill the monsters which made her even more frustrated.

Spark spied at one of the Maulers trying to learn its tactic and where it's weakness is. She realized that its not going to attack them with the shield but with the explosive mace in it's other hand. She also realized that the only way for it to attack them with it's mace is by that it has to lift his shield up giving the ponies a chance to attack it with everything they got.

“Hey Colts!” Spark yelled talking to everypony. “Reload now and stay into cover until my signal!”

Everypony did as she commanded especially Molotov who was beginning to fall in love with her. They kept waiting and waiting for the urge to shoot everything they saw.

“NOW!” Spark yelled.

Everypony got out of cover and together they started shooting their weapons at the Maulers that weren't using their shields as cover for themselves.

The Maulers kept getting shot at not knowing if it should charge at them risk being killed or retreat. It's mind was too slow to think and the last thing the Mauler had to say was “NNOOO!!!”

It died creating a big thump sound as it hit the ground with all it's weight.

Spark's brilliance was noted to Molotov as he saw how fierce and hot she  looked in battle. Molotov saw how her plan worked and really wanted to complement her but he then realized that they were still in a battle.

“Hey Spark!” Molotov yelled as the loud sound of bullets whizzing past over them.

“Yeah?” Spark said still concentrating on the Locusts.

“You're pretty talented aren't you?” He said.

“Yeah I guess. Just had a lot of special training thats all,” she said.

“You're a pretty good sergeant. I like you Sergeant Spark. Glad I got to meet you,” he said.

“Me too. And, you're a pretty good Corporal to have around that is very useful to me,” she replied.

Spark started liking Molotov a little more then normal as she was not supposed to but she didn't care. She liked this stallion.  

“Thanks Sergeant!” he said.

Spark then eyed this Locust Drone that was on a balcony above the other Locusts. She saw that it ran to a switch, pulled it down, and then without warning, the ponies' cover dropped back into the ground revealing them all to the Locusts who were inaccurately firing at them.

“Everypony RETREAT!!!” Spark yelled as she ran back shooting behind her.

Axe kept going up the stairs angrily that Spark betrayed him hauling the heavy gun on his back.

“I cant believe that she'd really leave me to go alone against probably hundreds of these things. I bet she'd love to see me rot in a hell hole just like this filthy place. I mean the only body of liquid down here is the glowing, greenish, yellowish, I don't even know if its drinkable or if its poisonous. Great place for Spark to leave me for dead,” He said angrily.

Axe kept walking up more flights of stairs having visions that Spark and Molotov would fall in love with each other and then they would have a baby and get married. He had many more day nightmares but that one in particular was the worst to him.

Axe saw a big stone building structure and he started walking over the little bridge that wasn't defended.

The building was hanging from the ceiling and it was a very large structure with only four routes to get inside. The structure was surrounded by a large moat underneath and around it which was basically like acid if you touched it which meant the only access to enter or exit the structure was four bridges; the North bridge, South bridge, East Bridge, and West bridge.

To ponies, the laws of the compass didn't really apply if you had a large civilization living underground.

But with Locusts, it made perfect sense and they figured out a way to tell which way was North, South, East, and West underground.

Axe was met by many Theron Guards in elite armor that were on a large open elevator.

The elevator was only a hard platform that could be pulled up or down by chains like in a medieval castle. There was no covering on the elevator and no siding on the elevator so there would be no cover against an air attack on the elevator.

Axe was on the middle of the bridge and he was forced to scavenge for cover on it. He took cover and he started firing his Mulcher at them spreading his ammunition at them.

“ATTACK!!!” One of the Locusts said in their slow, deep, loud voice.

The Locusts having their Torque Bows (A Torque Bow is basically a bow and arrow that is made of metal and runs on charged electric to fire explosive-tipped arrows at very long distances) kept bombarding Axe with their explosive arrows that kept hitting his piece of cover.

“Dammit!!!” Axe yelled angrily not being able to fire his weapon without being

pelted by so many explosive-tipped arrows.

Axe was sweating from hauling the heavy machine everywhere on his back and then bullets from many Hammerbursts started flying around past him. He looked to see who that was expecting that Spark and the others came to aid him in his mission.

But what he saw was more of the Locusts. About five Grenadiers, and two Grenadier Elites.

Axe finally figured out that he wasn't going to make it out alive by fending them all off by himself. He realized that he needed Spark and that he should of listened to her in the first place. He knew that he wasn't going to live much longer if he keeps it up.

“Okay I surrender!!!” Axe said throwing his harness off him along with his gun.

The Locusts stop shooting and start running towards him. Axe just stands bravely preparing to witness what lies before him and what is the source of these monsters.

Axe expected that the Locusts would tie him up and take him to their leader but what really happened was that a Grenadier came and hit him in the face knocking him out unconscious. He never would've thought of this action would've been done by a Grenadier.

Axe woke up with the nonstop pounding in his head from the concussion he had endured.

Axe found himself strapped to a hard and cold table in an x position.  

“Hello pony. We've been expecting you,” Said an unfamiliar voice.

Axe looked at where the voice was coming from and saw a figure that looked like a female pony. He looked harder at her and saw that she was actually a female Alicorn.

“Princess Celestia” Axe said struggling to get out of his cuffs that were strapping him down.

“Wrong feeble earth pony,” The mysterious Alicorn said.

“Princess Luna?” He said again.

“Wrong again pony,” the Alicorn said.

The Alicorn walked into the light that glistened on her black, soft, smooth coat. She had a evil grin on her face as she looked at him. Her blue, sparked, mane and tail waved around in the air as a mass of energy and not as hair. The light flicked off her shiny light blue armor that was on her.

She was right beside him walking the length of the table with the tip of her wing sliding on the middle of Axe's stomach to his forehead.

Axe was shaking in fear not knowing who this Alicorn is and was afraid that she might bestow her wrath on him. He was also giggling inside of him from the sensation that tickled him from the Alicorn's wing sliding across him.

She looked at him with her eyes that were of a dragon still pressing the tip of her wing against Axe's forehead and said “We have a lot to discuss, Axe.”

“Everypony RETREAT!!!” Spark yelled as she ran back shooting behind her.

All of the ponies followed her not defending themselves from the bullets hitting just centimeters behind them on the ground.

The Locusts that were behind them started chasing them not letting the ponies out of their sight.

“Keep Moving!!!” Spark yelled panting as she ran.

Spark was planning to lead the ponies left at a corner but then they were blocked off from three Flame Boomers and two Flame Grenadiers. She then redirected her route by going another pathway.

Spark led the group to a dead end and she looked back to see if the Locusts were still following them; and they were.

A Boomer started walking towards them with the ground shaking at every step he took. He held his Boomshot at them not aiming as usual and he then said “Boom!”

The Boomer pulled the trigger and the projectile hit the wall behind the ponies causing them to be pushed painfully towards the Locusts on the ground.

Spark lifted her head up slowly shaking in pain from the bruises and large burn marks on her back and on her legs. She now knew that she was done for. She looked at the Boomer that was standing before her barely able to keep her head up without having no strength.

She gave her last impression on the world known to the Boomer from her hard angry stare that she gave him.

The Boomer without hesitation, did his final kill by another shot. He attempted to pull the trigger but then, everybody and everypony heard gunshots from behind them and then without warning, the Boomer's head exploded from a direct head shot at his skull. Blood squirted out of his neck and he fell back onto the ground with a pool of blood underneath him in just one second.

Spark expected that Axe would've saved their ass this time and decided to stay with her now and not go separate ways. She still laid in the ground wounded but nothing that she couldn't shrug off her shoulders in a day. She kept looking up waiting for a sign that Axe came to help them but instead, she saw five ponies running towards her direction. There were two Unicorns, two Earth ponies, and one Pegasus.

A Unicorn that could be easily seen as the leader of the group just by looking at his scars and better armor that was on him. The Unicorn ran towards Spark's direction and stopped in front of her revealing his hoof out to her.

“Are you hurt? Do you need help or medical assistance?” The Unicorn leader said to her.

Spark reached her hoof out at him and she pulled her up.

“No I'm fine,” Spark replied.

“Good because I didn't bring any medical supplies. If you were then we would've been screwed,” The white stallion said with his dark gray mane and tail.

Spark chuckled at the short lived joke and looked at her team that was being revived from their wounds. She saw that everypony that was on her team was okay except for one of the Privates.

Spark saw Molotov injured in his back legs which had a critical amount of burn activity. In other words, he had 3rd degree burns.

Some of the other ponies helped him up and wrapped his back legs in bandages from preventing him from getting any infection or virus in him.

Spark looked back at the Unicorn leader with a smile and said “Whats your name soldier?”

“I'm Sergeant Shape Shifter and this is Delta Squad. You can just call me Sergeant Shift,” Shift said.

“I'll keep that in mind,” Spark replied rolling her eyes.

Spark then walked past Shifter and Shifter kept staring at her puzzled at what she was going to do next.

“Uhh where are you going?” Shifter said.

Spark stopped and turned her head around to look at Shifter without moving her body and she said “Something important came up.”

“Like what?” Shifter replied.

“I'm going after Axe. Now all of you stay here,” Spark said as she then started running at a full gallop of where Axe is at. She felt that Axe was in trouble.

“Who are you?” Axe asked as he struggled to break out of his restraints.

“You mean, you don't know me? Everypony in Equestria knows me except for of course, you. I'm Nightmare Moon!!!” Nightmare said evilly.

“What are you?” He said.

“I guess that I'm...”

“Let me out of here!!!” He demanded as he kept on pulling against his restraints.

Nightmare Moon used her magic to shock Axe. She had an evil grin revealing her teeth in joy.

Axe shook, fidgeted, and screamed in pain nonstop from the electrifying shock.

Nightmare Moon stopped shocking him and then she pushed her hoof into his chest saying “Nopony interrupts the new queen of Equestria when she is speaking. Understand me slave?”

“Your...crushing...me!” He said panting to get more air into his lungs.

Nightmare Moon got off him and walked to the other side of the table.

“Why are you doing this Nightmare Moon? Why? Your a Alicorn, a pony. Why do you want to destroy your own kind?”

“Well, I suppose I can tell you why,” Nightmare said folding her wings to her sides. It all started when I was on the moon. This happened about three years ago believe it or not. I wanted revenge against Celestia so bad and I couldn't get back to Equestria. I knew that if I was to defeat her, and bring total night upon Equestria, I was going to need an army. I flew off into space and confronted the planet Sera (Sierra). I found these creatures or heh heh, monsters that you call it? These are Locusts from that planet. They were on the verge of defeat from the humans. Their queen was dead and they begged me to save them and get them off the planet. In return, they'd worship me as their new queen and do anything I say. I brought them to the moon and I transported them underground. They built their city and kept on reproducing themselves for the big war that I told them about in the future between Locusts and ponies. I promised them that Locusts will win and whoever is on thew side of the future queen will succeed in the effort. And now, its their time to rise up from the hollow and destroy Canterlot and Celestia. This whole time, I pretended to be Princess Luna. I was at Celestia's side secretly listening for the right time to strike. And now all shall fall before the Locust Horde,” Nightmare Moon said.

“Your pure evil!!! When I tell Celestia about who Luna really is, you wont stand a chance!!!”

“Yes I guess I wouldn't but the odds of that happening are very slim. You see, you are going to be my slave and you shall be my personal servant for your whole entire life. You may never find your true love ever again now. I'm sorry but this is what it has come down to,” Nightmare Moon said.

“No I wont! I will Never be your slave! EVER!!!” He said.

“Oh I know that you will think other wise. You see, I will make you be my slave, even if that means if I have to break you,” Nightmare Moon said with an evil grin on her face.

Axe then was getting afraid. He knew that now he was going to get tortured unless he would be Nightmare's slave.

Every Pony's Worst Nightmare

Chapter Sixteen:

Everypony's Worst Nightmare

“Locust! Put my personal slave on the stretcher. And don't be scared to be gentle with him,” Nightmare Moon said with an evil grin as she watched him be unlocked from his restraints.

Axe fell to the the floor and he picked himself off the floor and attempted to escape but then he was picked up into the air by Nightmare's blue mane that wrapped around him.

“Ah, ah, ah,” Nightmare Moon said. “Nopony leaves unexpectedly.”

She used her energy flowing mane and swung him against the stone wall.

“AAHHH!!!” He screamed in pain as he rubbed the back of his head.

Two Grenadiers picked him up by his two forelegs and they started dragging him to another room and Nightmare Moon followed. The Grenadiers slammed him onto a double conveyor belt that would've spun in opposite directions. When it spun in opposite directions, it would've pulled the shackles out in different directions causing him to be slowly, painfully, stretched. The Grenadiers then tied all his hoofs into the shackles on the stretcher and he was laid across the double, opposite, rotating conveyor belts.

“You are dismissed,” Nightmare said standing still waiting for Axe and her to be totally alone.

“Please Nightmare Moon!!! Don't torture ME!!!” Axe said.

“Will you be my slave and my personal servant?” Nightmare said.

“I WILL NEVER!!!” Axe replied with an angry yell.

“Then I guess I don't have to torture you after all,” Nightmare replied with a grin on her face.

“What? What do you mean?!” Axe asked frightened and stuttering over his words afraid of the black Alicorn mare.

Nightmare walked away from him towards an open door with two Palace Guards following her lead.

(I figured out that the names of the Theron Guards in elite armor are called Palace Guards. Sorry about the upcoming notice!)

“I wont have to now. My second in command is here and shall do it for me. I hope you have a good time with her!” The black mare hollered back, chuckling evilly, disappearing from sight.

The room was dark around him only showering a little light on him from a lit torch hanging on the side of the wall.

Axe started hearing hoofsteps to his left that was coming towards his direction. The brown stallion looked in the direction wondering in fear what the female creature could be. All that he saw in that location was pitch black since there was no lit torch at that side of the room.

A dark solid figure emerged in the darkness and Axe could see a little sparkle of energy at it's head.

The small sparkle of light only lasted a second and he could see for a brief moment that it was wearing a hat.

Axe then saw that another cast of light was moving up towards the pitch black wall and immediately realized that it was a flicker of fire.

“Spark?!” Axe called out to it excited and also confused if it really was her.

The flicker of fire disappeared for a millisecond and then it erupted into a bigger fire noticing that the unknown female pony lit a torch.

Axe then immediately realized that this was also not his beloved Spark, it was some other female Unicorn that he hasn't ever met and assumed that it was hostile to him.

The unknown turbaned Unicorn slowly made her way to the restrained Earth Stallion chuckling evilly.

“That should make it easier for me to see,” she said. “A new resisting slave for queen Nightmare Moon. You look weak, shouldn't be hard to break you now should it? Allow me to introduce myself. My name is the great and powerful Trixie!” She said with a grin.

There was one thing off about Trixie though, she had red colored pupils instead of her original self.  

“Wait what? Your a pony like me why are you doing this? Why are you helping Nightmare Moon to dominate Equestria?”

“Well you see, the queen herself came to me wanting somepony to assist her and she knew that I wanted revenge in defeating Twilight Sparkle. She said if I join her, she would teach me magic spells that will outmatch her and can turn her to bits! I've always wanted revenge against her. The queen also said that we could rule Equestria together in an iron fist and I would have the best royal treatment, luxury, and riches! I knew that it was wrong but I just couldn't resist her and now I listen to her and I got everything I wanted and was promised!” Trixie said as she paced back and forth in front of him.

Trixie then walked next to a lever with a grin. She looked at him and then said “Ready?”

Axe had tears coming down from his eyes already and Trixie didn't even do anything to him yet. He then started sweating because he used all his reserves of strength and energy and tried pulling out of his restraints before it was too late.

“NO PLEASE!!! DON'T TORTURE ME!!! I BEG OF YOU!!!” Axe screamed realizing that the pitiful attempts of escape was useless now.

“Its too late now! You should have accepted the queen's offer and you wouldn't be in this mess. But instead you picked the long and painful way. You better hope that she has mercy on your soul because I wont!” Trixie replied as she used her magic to pull down a lever.

Long screams of pain quickly came out of the stallion as he was just being slowly pulled apart. He knew that he should have listened to Spark in the first place but if he did he wouldn't stand him any longer and he would just blow up taking out all of his held back anger at everypony that was with him. He had heard some bones crack and then felt like he couldn't feel one of his legs anymore.

Trixie enjoyed that short torture method which she let continue for about ten painful minutes for Axe.

She then turned off the torture device and unstrained him from it.

Axe slowly got up with so much pain inside him. When he got off it, Trixie said “Follow me please.”

Axe slowly nodded and did as he was told.

Trixie knew that she broke him already and was right about him being easy to break. But she wasn't done with him just yet.

“Stand here and don't move,” the light blue female Unicorn said.

Axe obeyed her and then knew that it wasn't over yet but he really wanted it to be. He then let more drops of tears come down from his face and let them drip to the floor.

Trixie liked it when her victims would obey her after one of her torture methods because then they wouldn't give much of a fight against her and she knew that she was in control over them.

Trixie tied his four legs with metal short shackles so that he could escape. Trixie saw him shaking and shivering and showed a little mercy to him by putting a rag in his mouth.

“Here, your going to need this,” Trixie said as she put the rag in his mouth and Axe accepted it but never looked at her straight in the eye.

Trixie walked behind him and grabbed his tail with her teeth. She gave three seconds for Axe to prepare himself and then she yanked a little patch of hair  off of his tail and he screamed with more tears running down his face.

Shreds of hair fell to the floor as Trixie let the ripped patch of hair fall from her mouth. She spitted out some tiny flakes of hair that was still stuck on her tongue.

One patch of hair after another and another were torn off of Axe's tail until there was nothing left but just tiny threads of it.

Trixie unshackled him and took the rag from him and was right to expect that he wouldn't go dashing away to freedom.

Axe stood there wondering what Trixie's next painful scheme was hoping that it was over. But unfortunately for him, it wasn't over.

Trixie then led him to a chair which he was then strapped on. She used her magic and picked the chair up and dropped him in a deep pool of water. Her next trick; drowning him until he nearly passes out, lift him above the water for a few breaths of air, and then repeatedly keep doing it.

The unicorn saw him struggling to break out of the chair and wanting to be able to breath again but she saw no signs of him close to passing out. She kept on watching him through many air bubbles popping on the surface of the water and when he was almost completely not resisting, she used her magic to pull him out of the water.

Axe took deep breaths but was only aloud four breaths before he was forced to be plunged into the water again. He hated her so much but he knew if he didn't listen to her, he would get a more deadly torture method. He knew that Trixie was going easy on him and that these are nothing compared to what else she has hidden in her brain.

Axe was dunked in the water about twenty times, each time worser then before. At the twentieth time, he was saved by Nightmare Moon herself.

Nightmare Moon walked in the torture chamber where Trixie was enjoying herself. She walked until she was right next to Trixie and she said “Lets see if our servant is willing to give me the right answer,”

“Oh don't worry, he wont disappoint you your highness. Because as you can see, yet again, I have not failed you,” Trixie replied hoping that Nightmare Moon would reward her with a complement.

“Oh my Trixie, you never seize to amaze me. You haven't failed me once, thats why you're my favorite,” The black Alicorn said.

“Thank you your highness,” Trixie replied.  

Trixie unshackled him and Axe dropped to the floor, all wet, shivering in coldness, shaking in fear, panting heavily.

“Now pony, I hope you have came to your senses,” Nightmare Moon said as she towered over the brown earth stallion.

“I have Nightm...I mean...your...highness,” Axe said.

“And you agree to be my personal assistant until your life expires?” The black Alicorn said not changing her expression.

“Yes queen Nightmare Moon,” Axe replied still laying in the floor.

“Good,” she said with an evil grin.

“But...,” he said closing his eyes.

“But what?” Nightmare responded wondering what one thing he could request.

“Your highness I would be ever so grateful if you fix my leg. I cant feel it anymore and I am begging you to please fix it,” Axe asked looking up to her.

“Very well, a simple request for me to accomplish,” Nightmare said as she then healed Axe to normal.

Axe got up off the floor thankful to Nightmare Moon for healing him.

“Bow and show your gratefulness to queen Nightmare Moon servant!” Trixie yelled enforcing Nightmare's rule.

Axe bowed to her and extended his forelegs so that they were around  Nightmare's foreleg and he repeatedly kissed her hoof saying “Thank you your highness! I am so grateful to you and would be happy to serve you through your world domination campaign!” Axe said still repeatedly kissing her hoof.

“Nightmare smiled at him blushing a little. She raised her hoof to stop Axe from kissing it and she said “Enough pony! Trixie I want you to show him where he will be staying.”

“Yes your highness,” Trixie replied as she bowed to Nightmare before she was dismissed.

Trixie started through a hallway with Axe following her. Axe was the first pony she actually felt something positive through out of all of the other ponies she had tortured. She felt different about this pony then the other ponies. She felt like she liked this pony but she couldn't show her true feelings about for two reasons. One, if she and him did like each other, Nightmare wouldn't like it too much if she found out. Two, Axe would probably not like her after all of the things she had done to him.

Trixie kept on thinking not noticing that she had already arrived at the room where Axe was supposed to be staying.

“This is your new home. I'll show you inside,” Trixie said as she opened the door and let Axe in first.

“Its not much since you are new. If you do something really good for the queen like impress her or something then she might improve your room but all you get is this for now. If you plan on escaping in the future, Nightmare told me to tell you that you will be tortured and then killed. So think about plotting to go up against us,” Trixie said with no expression towards him.

“Don't worry, I wont ever go up against you or her,” Axe replied looking back at her.

“If the queen needs something like food, take the hall to the left, make a left, and then it would be the fourth door to your right. To get to the queen's chamber, take the hall to the right, and keep going until the end of the hallway. It should be the big doors at the end of the hall basically, you cant miss it. If you need me for anything my room is the one next to the queen's chamber on the right. You will be protected by two Palace Guards. They know the whole place around so don't be too shy to ask where you should go. Any questions before I leave?” Trixie said.

“Uhhh...I guess no,” Axe said still trying to sink in the information she gave him at high speed.

“Good. Oh and one more thing, don't ever disobey the queen, even if it is a stupid request. You always have to show that you really love her, then you wont be on her bad side,” Trixie said.

“Why are you giving me this information that can help me? I thought that you didn't like me right?” Axe asked confused at what Trixie really thought of him.

“No reason uhh I have to get back and do...things. Bye,” she said as she trotted off almost revealing her feelings toward him.

Axe closed his door and then soon realized that his own life has just smacked him upside his face. He had never been so hungry, thirsty, and tired in all of his life.

Axe ran into his kitchen and drank a gallon of water and a hole loaf of hard bread. It didn't fill him up completely but it did the job.

He then got into his small dirty bed and wrapped himself in the ugly worn out blanket tightly to keep himself warm. At first, it was kind of weird not sleeping with anypony because he was used to sleeping with Spark snuggling up to him so much. After a few minutes, whether he liked it or not, he was comfortable on the bed, alone. After a few moments of thoughts to himself, he fell instantly asleep.  

(Sorry about not putting a few definitions of the description of Locusts earlier. I guess I forgot. Well I'm putting some of it out now so that it clears up your mind of what the Locusts look like)

Brumak- A dinosaur type Locust that is drove around by a Locust driver. Usually is as tall as a regular transformer. It has machine guns on it's wrists. A quadruple shooting cannon that comes from its back and extends over its head.

Corpser- A giant spider type Locust that drills the holes for the Locusts to get to the surface. No weapon at all except for it's size and smartness to attack and move underground undetected.
