Tanktoons
Chapter 5: Hell's Highway
Previous Chapter Next ChapterT-34 dug through the rubble trying to find T-50-2. T-50-2 was badly damaged from the crushing blow from the falling rubble and was unable to run. The Equestrian tanks were destroyed by BDR G1B and his army of AMX 12 t's. Cromwell and Crusader fought an Equestrian M10 Wolverine and a Panther. The escalating battle was lasting for hours with thousands of tanks battling each other in the urban environment. T-34 looked at his HUD and saw that 597 Equestrian tanks were killed and more were being produced in the factories. T-50-2 was rooting around his toolbox trying to find an extra drive sprocket and a few other tools to get his tracks working. T-50 looked at the map trying to find the capture point.
"I found the shortest way to get to the capture point," T-50 called out. "We can cut through the park where we will be pinned down often by their TD's or we can go to under the highway and encounter exposed enemy tanks."
"I vote to go under the highway," a familiar voice called out.
Cromwell rumbled up next to them. T-50 looked around to see more tanks joining them. T-34 agreed to go and were followed by the other tanks. They had a team of over 15 tanks. JagdPanther and SU 85 along with SU 100 would lead the charge with their angled armor deflecting shots. The other tanks would be behind them and shoot the tanks. Scouts and mediums would flank the enemy while TD's and heavies would charge. After the plan was explained, T-50 studied the map carefully and saw a few ways to flank the Equestrians.
Meanwhile, T1 Cunningham put on his Jason Voorhees mask and grabbed his rusty machete. He watched as T-34 and the other tanks roll out to their positions. He quickly made his way to the highway and saw his friend M4A3E2 "Ripper" behind a building and was damaged. Up ahead, and Equestrian M44 and Conqueror GC were waiting to be operated. Their crews were outside eating their rations staring at their tanks. Cunningham rolled up close with his machete. The pony crews then noticed and quivered in fear as Cunningham rolled up. Cunningham slid off the mask and smiled innocently.
"I cannot believe we were scared of that,"one of them laughed.
Cunningham sliced the ponies with his large machete. Their bodies stuck to the blade and their guts hung down. Cunningham wiped the blood and bodies on the tanks. He quickly ran to Ripper who's engine smoked. He rooted around in his consumables and found a small repair kit and toolbox from his equipment. He replaced Ripper's damaged sprocket and fixed the engine with the toolbox. Ripper smiled and noticed that Cunningham had the mask back on.
"Come with me, we must support our friends at the highway!" Cunningham called. "They are heading towards an E 100 and KV 5!"
Ripper nodded in response and followed Cunningham to the highway. The two found the E 100 and KV 5 waiting for their targets. Around them, smoldering wrecks of many tanks were littered around the place. A T1 heavy, a KV 2 and A-20 were one of them. Then they saw T-34 and the others preparing behind the buildings. Cunningham began driving slowly dragging his machete against the road. The sound of the scraping metal alerted the tanks and turned their turrets. SU 85 and SU 100 saw that the tanks turned their turrets and fired HE shells. The shells did some damage and part of the E100 turret had a small dent. JagdPanther fired an armor piercing at the dent making large hole in the turret. SU 85 fired a last HE shell at the opened armor. The HE shell made it through and exploded inside killing the crew and igniting its ammunition. The explosion produced a thick cloud of smoke that slowly cleared to reveal a KV 5 whose armor was strewn with blood.A trail of blood led away from the tank. In curiosity, the tanks followed it and saw the capture point. They rushed inside to find T1 Cunningham brandishing his blade along with Ripper, Hellcat and Chaffee. The tanks quickly joined in and saw thousands of Equestrian tanks forming up and charging. A column came down from the highway, another barreling down a street. 5 roads led to that capture point. From a distance, an M10 Wolverine was gazing at them with the magic shells loaded. It fired a shell and bounced off JPanther's angled armor who fired back at the American TD and hit the engine that ignited in flames. JPanther looked at the crew coming out.
"Mein freunds, look!" He shouted. "Those are the same ponies ve met at that stupid pony village! KILL THEM!"
T-50 fired his rapid fire gun at the Mane Six and missed as they ran away. Hellcat destroyed a D.W.2 and blocked one path. Chaffee took out a helpful pet worm he took when Hellcat fell down a foxhole. The worm bit him, turning him into the M6A3E1 tank. He roared at the charging tanks whose crews began to panic. He fired a shot and killed an A-20 and T-26 and blocked another. Hellcat smiled at the sight of his friend helping for once. Hellcat fired at an advancing TOG II and damaged it. The TOG tried to angkle his armor but was destroyed and blocked another path. A Jackson TD fired and destroyed SU 85. A KV 2 destroyed T-34-85. The tanks scrambled for cover as the column on the highway was rushing down towards the capture point. Suddenly, a tank blew up from behind the column and the tanks on the front exposed their rear turret armor. The tanks in the capture point opened fire and destroyed the enemy main gun. From behind the column, Pz. 34 nA charged with Ferdinand with his army of King Tiger's and Panther II's. The Germans fired upon the column and trapped it in the streets. Ratte burst through the buildings and ran over the remaining tanks.
Pz. 38 nA searched with T-34 and Cromwell for survivors to execute. T-34 took out a whistle and blew on it. KV 8 and Hetzer came and readied their flamethrowers.
"Clear the buildings," T-34 commanded.
The two tanks burned the buildings and soon they heard a scream. Ratte put his large guns into the buildings and rooted around grabbing things. He ripped off the roof and took out small furniture to find 6 ponies cowering in the closet. T1 Cunningham walked up to Ratte and climbed his back. Cunningham rolled up to his barrels and shot the closet down to the ground. He was confused when he saw the closet having a faint aura. He knew they were using magic and jumped on the closet and concentrated his weight. The closet fell and he opened it to see the ponies still there. The Germans and the remaining platoon members gathered around. Cromwell went out of the crowd and drove up to the ponies.
"I see that fear in your eyes," Cromwell laughed. "And I thought you were fucking pacifists. You start a war with us and we exterminate all of your species. We also know we are not your only enemies. Pz. 38, put them in your finest chamber and I will interrogate them for you."
"Ok, I can't wait to watch," Pz. 38 nA laughed. "I'll go get Proffessor Borsig to come with you."
The ponies looked at them in fear. Twilight readied a magic bolt and let go sending it through Cromwell's armor. Cromwell put his muzzle over his wound. "YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT WITH YOUR LIVES!"
BDR G1B drove up to the ponies and slapped each of them with his white glove and clubbed them with his barrel knocking them out.
