Fandom The Dawn Brigade, Equestria's Fall (EF)

[Balancer]

A pair of unicorns run over to the rocks where Blue saw the cloud ash come from, one of them blinks the pair around the other side while to other casts a stun spell. The bolt of electricity jolting the Griffon, causing it to spasm while the unicorns grab it in their telekinesis.


"Target captured sir!" One of them yells as they bring the POW over. "What do want to do with it?"

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Greenwall rolls her eyes beneath her helmet before ripping through a particularly tough stone"Just kill him, we don't have time to interrogate him"

 

[Balancer]

Blue nods as one of the unicorns snaps the Griffon's neck. "Get in formation, this breach is going to be messy." He says as he watches the skies.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Greenwall ignores the soldiers as she carefully lowers another pot of wild fire into a hole she had drilled

 

[Ebonysdagger]

Star does not waste much time taking up a nearby knife in his magic and slitting the griffon's throat. "Okay, let's move out nice and quietly. According to the information we have the target for our explosives should not be too far from where we are though we might have to take some stairs down. Any of you with crossbows, given that the halls are probably too small for long bows, should probably prep some bolts just in case. Best to take down enemies from a distance and quietly as we go."


Once the rest of the unit signals they are ready Star opens the door from the kitchen to set out toward their target.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

A griffon near the roof of the barracks receives a scrap of paper. Seconds later an alarm goes off causing the soldiers in the barracks to hurry to the preordained location in front of the barracks. This leaves the barracks "completely" empty, but also gathers all off duty griffons not already at the barrack's general area.

 

[Balancer]

Blu gritted his teeth. "Damn it, how long does it take to set charges. It's not like we're writing a novel." He mutters, waiting for his signal to go.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

(damnit, my post did not send)


"Shut up" Greenwall yells as she lowers on of the last jars of wildfire into. Groaning she wipes the sweat that had formed under helmet.


"Shit!" one of the unicorns yelled as the wildfire slips from his grasp and begins to rapidly fall to the bottom of the hole he had drilled)


Mentally facehoofing Greenwall says "Hey Blue, you need to be through that wall in ten seconds or we are all dead" before she began to walk towards the wall.

 

[Ebonysdagger]

Noticing the lack of griffons as they pass through the halls Star ponders if they have been given bad intel. All the same though he hurries his unit down toward the munitions under the barracks. "Alright, get to setting the explosives. Once they are set let's hoof it." He joins in with setting things up finding a nice set of those experimental fire weapons and their fuel to place them in.


Once he gets the signal that all is ready he tells them to run and joins them. No point in worrying about being seen now.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

The griffons are swarming the front of the barracks and the vanguard is nearly ready to move out. (You can determine the size of the explosion and when to detonate since you armed it, also chemistry tests, ftw)

 

[Ebonysdagger]

"Sneak out the back fellas." He directs the rest of his unit out the back door and toward hiding at a safe distance before he instead runs toward the front door and opens it. "Oh, is this not the bathroom?" He makes sure to speak loud enough to catch the attention of some of the griffons. Once he has it he runs back into the building and toward the back door triggering the explosives even as he jumps toward the outside. "Run run, don't want to be a crispy critter, again." He keeps running not looking back as the explosives set off the weapons beneath hopefully taking more than a few of the griffons with it as they chased him.


(The explosion will probably take out more or less all the barracks because even if it isn't a blown up piece the fire will likely cause the rest to collapse inward. Odds are pretty good it'll burn Star pretty badly and take out at least half of the griffons that had remained standing outside.)

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Two seconds after Greenwall announces their impending doom a explosion rips through the mountains.


*You have fallen into the false explosion size trap/perk*


The explosives in the barracks set off a chain reaction into a second cache intel did not find. The barracks erupts in a green fire ball incinerating everything withing 100 yards lacking magical protection.

 

[Ebonysdagger]

Rolling around to try and put out some of the fire that is still licking his hind quarters he makes for the shadows of the night to avoid being caught by any surviving griffons. As he gets back up and begins to move at his now slower pace he signals to where his unit should be to start retreating but to pick off any lone griffons they can as they go. "Well, a new set of scars to need an illusion for. I just keep adding to them it seems."

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

A second explosion sounds from elsewhere in the mountains (Uneven timelines initiated) followed by long grinding crash.


Several griffons fly through the air, screeching, as the green flames slowly licked away at their flesh. On the ground is littered with charred skeletons, but the worst is the outskirts where the griffons can do nothing but writhe in pain from the wild fire slowly melting through their skin.


A group of griffons responsible for wiping out the third squadron and the Lunars begin to fly towards the barracks, their hearts filled with dread.

 

[Balancer]

Blue nods and fires the steel sheathed explosive bolt, the steel puncturing the door and compressing. Inside the bolt a series of reactions occurred, both magical and alchemical that resulted in an explosion that ripped the door apart. His cross bow already loaded Blue fires another explosive bolt into the room as he and the troops charge.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Ten griffons pour out of the hole created, their swords flashing.


Greenwall throws her sword through the chest of one of them

 

[Balancer]

Three steps away from the encroaching hoard of Griffons Blue slaps a shredder bolt into his crossbow, firing it as fast as he can. The bot rips apart in the air, most of it just bounces uselessly against their armor but a couple of griffons stubble as jagged splinters punch between the gaps in there armor.


Two steps away from the breach, Blue reloads and fires a standard full metal jacket bolt into and through the lead griffon where it slams into the chest of the one behind it. Igniting his horn Blue super charges his skin shield as he levels his sword at he nearest griffon.


One step away he fires on last bolt as he releases the pent up energy outwards in a forward manner, the telekinetic wave slamming into the griffons and past them, causing them to falter as Blue's sword begins it's dance.


Breaching the hole Blue pays no mind to the slabs of meat on the ground, some of the carcasses still sliding apart as he thunders past them and into the facility. Behind him the troops follow, some of them in a state of awe as the jump into the breach with him.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Greenwall and the other troops quickly jumped through the breach made. Greenwall spun around as she entered the breach and constructed the strongest barrier she could. Several other unicorns began to move back to help her, but were interrupted as ten griffons fired their new weaponry simultaneously. Four soldiers' armor had faulty enchantments and the armor fused to their skin.


The fiery weapons melted any projectiles fired at them, and if you look closely you can see several other barricades set up with similar weapons.


(Note Greenwalls barrier is probably about as strong as a citizens barrier, I'm just saying this since I have not made her spell book yet)

 

[Balancer]

Blue gritted his teeth and blinked behind the flamethrowers, his sword flashing through the air as he ripped what griffons he couldn't reach in time apart with his telekinesis.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

A slight poomf can be heard as a blinding light goes through the barrier. The heat wave hits Greenwalls barrier first, bouncing off harmlessly, but immediately following it the shock wave shatters Greenwall's barrier throwing her and the rest of the soldiers into the cave.

 

[Balancer]

Seeing Greenwall being thrown through the air Blue reaches out with his telekinesis and gently grabs her, shielding her from the worst of the blast as he lowers her to the ground with care. At the same time he was dueling with three other griffons remotely and pounding one into paste with his hooves while a flamethrower tried to get past his shielding, the magic fire rippling around him.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Griffons begin to swarm the fallen soldiers slitting their throats instead of taking them prison.


(Almost done, yay)

 

[Balancer]

Seeing the Griffons swarming the soldiers Blue's face darkens as he pulls Greenwall closer and takes a protective stance over her, extending his shielding to her. His sword traces patterns through the air as it rips around the room, crossbow bolts being fried as fast he could load them in an attempt to take the pressure off the downed soldiers.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

A group of four soldiers have managed to group together, but a group of griffon flame throwers were quickly approaching them.

 

[Balancer]

The area around him piled high with corpses Blue scowls at reached out, crushing the flame contraptions. Shaping the telekinetic field so that the resulting explosion would be channeled back to where the griffons came from Blue gestures to the soldiers to come over to him as he provides cover fire.
