private Equestrian War

"Nightfall wait!" Vinyl got up and ran next to him, "She's not completely immortal, ya know. Even alicorns have their end. She's got another 1000 years maybe. That's old for her."

[Nightfall 3,950]

"Oh, sure." Nightfall kept walking out. There wasn't really much he could do in the Ponygon, and he felt restless and a bit irritated.

He tried to find a map of the place.

"Nightfall wait!" Vinyl got up and ran next to him, "She's not completely immortal, ya know. Even alicorns have their end. She's got another 1000 years maybe. That's old for her."

"We're only halfway to the Ponygon, dumbflank," was Sunburn's reply. "Once we get there, go ahead and pad your kill count if you feel so inclined. Mine is already high enough. I'm not your mother, and I don't want to have to babysit my underlings."

 

"Atum!" he barked. "Up and at 'em!" he shouted. "I'm not carrying your nor respecting your corpse."

"Ve have been ARGUINK about it for ze last FIFTEEN minutes! Und don't call me "dumbflank", arschloch!" Red kicks Atum to wake him up, and sets off, mumbling. "Callink ME dumbflank... zis is all HIS fault... uurgh how I hate him."

[Abaddon 95]

"Sssorry, Sunburn. I just can't stop sleeping." Atum pulled himself up off the ground. His entire body ached but it didn't matter. He needed push himself so that he could fight and potentially protect Sunburn and Red. Atum knew that both soldiers thought he was dead weight, but that wasn't the case. Due to his anxiety, he always had a hard time coping with reality (and other ponies). But when it came to war, he was able to use that paranoia, frustration, anger and depression to kill the enemy. Atum just hoped that Sunburn wouldn't try to kill him.

"No apologies. We're coming up on Ponyville. Celestia wants me to keep you beside me," Sunburn was stern. "Said you might see something you didn't like." He looked deep in Abaddon. "What's not too like?"

 

((And now it's you, Soldier. We have a posting order for a reason.))

[Senor Citizen 516]

That stupid warmonger. I can see why the General wants him to have an escort. "Hey! Bean time!" Red takes three cans-o-beans out of his sack. "Beans und franks! Trail food. Eat up, Demps- Shunburn. It might give you an extra brain cell!"

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

"Oh, sure." Nightfall kept walking out. There wasn't really much he could do in the Ponygon, and he felt restless and a bit irritated.

He tried to find a map of the place.

 

"Nightfall please believe me!"

"It would appear that you have a problem with me," Sunburn said, his tone, as always, perfectly level. He took the can and tore the top off, then swallowed the entire can whole. "I suggest you stow them, or leave as soon possible."

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

 

"No," then she saw the corporal point his weapon toward Nightfall, "stand down, soldier!"

[Nightfall 3,950]

 

 

"Nightfall please believe me!"

 

"I'll believe you when I start seeing her die."

He turned back to see a weapon aimed at him.

"You don't want to do that," he snorted.

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

"Ok. So what? He's a...friend of mine. You are not to lay a hoof on him, understand?" She eyed the pony carefully.

 

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall looked at the new soldier, who had put his weapon down, and then continued in his search for some kind of map of the Ponygon. He wanted to get back to his men and tell them he was OK. And in person.

But then he stopped in his tracks, deep in thought. If he was to escape late at night... But then, what about Blade?

 

No, he would try to escape later this night. And he would tell only Blade about it.

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

No, he would try to escape later this night. And he would tell only Blade about it.

 

"Nightfall, what's wrong? You seem a bit anxious."

[Nightfall 3,950]

"Nightfall, what's wrong? You seem a bit anxious."

 

He looked around. When he saw no one was coming and no one was around them, he looked at Blade.

"Blade, we've been good friends for a long time. And I know you can keep secrets, so you must keep this one." He grabbed her shoulders and looked her right in the eyes.

 

"I'm going to try to escape tonight. Alone."

"I'm going to try to escape tonight. Alone."

 

Vinyl sighed, "I understand."

[Nightfall 3,950]

"What? I expected a different reaction from you..." Nightfall tooks his hooves off her shoulders. "Maybe I don't know you as well as I thought." He turned and began walking back toward the medical bay.

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

"What? I expected a different reaction from you..." Nightfall tooks his hooves off her shoulders. "Maybe I don't know you as well as I thought." He turned and began walking back toward the medical bay.

 

"Were you expecting a more hostile reaction?"

[Nightfall 3,950]

"Were you expecting a more hostile reaction?"

 

"More or less. Maybe even a reaction telling me to stay." Nightfall sighed.

"But never mind that!" Nightfall started walking quickly. "Look, I'm not supposed to be here! What would Celestia think if she could see me now?!" He walked on, muttering under his breath, "Why did I ever actually want to be here? ... Besides for Blade. Dear sweet Celestia, where is that damn medical bay?"

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

Vinyl knew she couldn't keep Nightfall here. She walked up to Nightfall, "Look, I know you need to go back, but I don't want you getting hurt. Ok? When this war's over, I want us to still be together."

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

"Mein General! I realise zhat I may be intruding, however it seems zhat i may have a way of ensuring zis officer's safety in escaping ze premises," he spoke hastily.

 

"Ya are intruding a bit, but since you've got a plan to ensure Nightfall's safety, I'll listen. You've got one minute, soldier. Go."

[Nightfall 3,950]

Vinyl knew she couldn't keep Nightfall here. She walked up to Nightfall, "Look, I know you need to go back, but I don't want you getting hurt. Ok? When this war's over, I want us to still be together."

 

"That's sweet. But I've got to plan for this quickly."

Nightfall looked at the soldier and was interested in what he was saying. Nightfall decided to stop and listen. He knew he was in a rush, but he could wait a moment.

[InfinityWhale 771]

A very long and offscreen journey later, Sunburn approached the Ponygon. Many companions had joined him, many had died. He had killed many, many soldiers in his quest, and now he was ready to kill the hundreds that lie between him and Nightfall.

 

He approached the Ponygon gates. Two guards walked up him, and with one slash, he felled them both. Two guards in the distance ran off to raise the alarm. With a well-aimed toss of one of his four hoof blades, he fell one, then let the other run off, then slowly sauntered up to retrieve the blades. His expression perfectly neutral, he sauntered casually through the gates of the Ponygon.

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

"That's sweet. But I've got to plan for this quickly."

Nightfall looked at the soldier and was interested in what he was saying. Nightfall decided to stop and listen. He knew he was in a rush, but he could wait a moment.

 

"Ma'am," a young lance corporal came up to Blade, "There's been an alarm activated by the north entrance."

"Ok, thank you for letting me know," she turned to Nightfall, "Looks like that's your extraction. Let's avoid all the mess and get you down there."
