>>139522Captain Forrester turns around to Silver, without word, but still making eye contact to him
>>139523The unicorn quickly brings out his flashlight, and flashes it in the Captain's eyes.
>>139524Forrester is at a distance, and reflexively closes his eyes. His eyes look sort of like a dog's eyes in the night, or that of a cat, glowing back.
>>139525Silver's eyes widen as he quickly calls out to the gathered ponies.
"Forrester's a changeling!"
>>139527Ponies hold up their weapons from every corner.
Forrester yells back, and looks again at Silver Sword
"I am nothing of the sort, you imposter!"
>>139528"You can not fool us! You and your ilk sabotaged line to Wald to cut off Frontline forces from Command! You had our radio operator Technical Sargent Hazelred replaced!"
>>139529"You are yourself replaced!" He yells out
Silver is present himself with Salt lick and Amber Grain, as well as the 12 members of B Squad. Across the Street, at the Misfortune County Court House and the roof of the Sheriff's Office, Silver knows there are two machine guns and rifleponies. Inside the Town Hall and exiting are eight ponies of the 332nd. With Forrester are still his four guards, two armed with submachine guns.
Forrester draws his pistol.
>>139530Silver draws his rifle and levels it at Forrester.
"Surrender Changeling! Our entire platoon has been tested, there are no more of your Infiltrators among us, you can not fool us!"
>>139532Forrester's small group backs away, a little down the road,
Forrester yells back,
"You are the infiltrator here!"
Now, guns are leveled
>>139533"You are surrounded! Put down your weapons and surrender, and you will be given fair treatment!"
>>139534A grin comes across his face
"That, I know is not true"
From down the valley, a distant rumble, like thunder, comes from the dark clouds on the horizon that begin to obscure the setting sun
>>139536"You think yourselves masters? Gardeners of nature?
No. That would be to leave the weeds in control. And you have less control than you think."

>>139539>>139538A cacophony of noise erupts, with Forrester the first to discharge his gun, followed by the squad sergeant, who fires his submachine gun at the guards, then ponies from Forrester's troop, who aim them at the squad members
Silver is shot at by Forrester's pistol
[1d20+4 = 19]And a guard's carbine
[1d20+3 = 13]Then a rifle
[1d20 = 17] >>139539B Squad exchanges with the guards

[1d20 = 12][1d20 = 4][1d20 = 9]And three at the squad leaders
[1d20 = 19][1d20 = 15][1d20 = 17]>>139538Silver is hit by Forrester's pistol
[2d6 = 10]And a soldier's rifle
[2d8 = 4] [1d20+10 = 26]>>139541They hit Silver good, but he's still standing. He aims his rifle at Forrester, and fires.
>>139541A submachine gunner is struck repeatedly by the squad leader's bullets and is downed. The other submachine gunner, and both carbine carriers are shot in the head by great shots from the riflestallion privates of B Squad. Only a few bullets are shot at all, including one carbine shot that misses Silver
The troops inside the building shoot through the glass and out the door, missing any rifle squad members.
Unfortunately, every single leader of Silver's section is hit by these troops, including Silver himself (already calculated)
Amber Grain
[2d8 = 10]Saltlick
[2d8 = 7]And the submachinegun wielding squad sergeant
[2d8 = 14]>>139543>>139542Silver hits Forrester forcibly in the chest, but has not downed him
>>139544>>139542At this point, the black colt, firing the machine gun from his shoulder in an unaimed attack, fires it inside the building at the reserve troops
A marksstallion's bullet hits one of the guards, but it's overkill
From across the street, the machine guns open up, albeit perhaps too close for comfort
>>139544The squad sergeant is downed
>>139543>>139542The guards fall to the ground, but as they do, green magic envelopes them, as if it burns away their coats, and leaves charred blackness behind. All four are Changelings, lying bleeding a bluish blood on the ground, and with strangely red colored blood spatters on the wall from where they've been hit in the head.
Forrester turns, and runs
[1d20+10 = 17]>>139546Silver aims at the retreating Forrester, and fires.
>>139548>>139547Hit, and, Hit.
Forrester falls down. B Squad focuses on pulling away and out of the line of fire from across the street.
Far off in the distance, another "thunk," "thunk," and "thunk."
But it's what's above that gives the most cause for concern. A terrifyingly loud, almost ripping-sound comes from a room on the left side of the second floor of the town hall. Silver can see the barrel sticking out. It's a machinegun. Belt-fed. Changeling model. The angle isn't shallow enough to aim at Silver and B Squad; instead, it takes aim at C Squad and the machine gun detachment across the street.
>>139549Silver shouts out to B Squad.
"TOWN HALL, SECOND FLOOR, LEFT SIDE! SOMEPONY GRENADE THAT GUN!"
He quickly rushes out to the downed squad sergeant.
>>139550Brisbuck yells
"C squad! Suppressive fire!"
And then less loudly, looking back,
"B Squad - back up, out of the line of fire! Grenadiers, upfront!"
Silver leans down to find the sergeant is down, and Amber Grain and Saltlick are badly wounded.
From inside, a trooper pops off a shot at Silver
[1d20 = 19] >>139551>>139552"Ngh!"
Silver is wounded again, but is determined to get these ponies to safety. He tries to drag the sergeant away and out of the line of fire.
>>139553Silver is the most wounded pony on the field, bleeding out from three wounds.
The loud, ripping sound flings out mass numbers of bullets at the forces across the street, while a lower "tat-tat-tat" and an even lower "dakka dakka dakka" come from the belt fed machine gun and light machine gun of C Squad respectively. Silver can see green tracers fly, and red tracers fly back. This exchange leaves the lower level entrance of the town hall less covered, and bullets fly out of here. The unicorn uses his magic to replace the magazine of the machine gun the black colt carries, and he aims in around the inside of the hall. The cream colored pegasus hugs the wall next to the entrance, and with his wing, tosses in a grenade, while a purple unicorn follows quickly behind doing the same
[1d20 = 3][1d20 = 19]Silver is able to drag the Sargent aside
>>139554Once the Sargent is out of the line of fire, he looks to see how Amber Grain and Saltlick are doing.
>>139555These ponies are wounded, but upright.
One of the grenades tossed in through the broken window bounces against some object inside, and explodes almost in the door frame, spreading shrapnel outwards in a pattern that makes B squad fall prone.
From the upstairs window, a submachine gun is stuck out and aimed downwards. The creature, leaning its head out, fires
[1d20 = 6] >>139555>>139556Forrester still moves, crawling away
>>139556>>139557"Cover me, I am going for Forrester!"
Silver runs out of cover, and makes a B-line for the disguised captain.
>>139558But first...
Grenadiers fire rifle grenades at the room upstairs
[1d20 = 8][1d20 = 20] >>139559One goes wide, right past the room, while another goes through the window and seems to detonate on the ceiling
The black colt nevertheless fires his automatic rifle in bursts in the direction of the room
Silver runs towards the captain, who manages to turn towards him, and level his gun
>>139559>>139560Silver maintains his current course, unfazed by the levelled pistol.
>>139561And what does Silver do when he gets there?
>>139562That would be hitting Forrester over the head with the butt of his rifle.
>>139563He fires one shot up at Silver
[1d20+3 = 12] >>139563>>139564Missing. Silver’s chance to attack
[1d20+5 = 6]>>139564>>139565Silver turns his rifle around, and aims a bash right at the disguised changeling's head.
>>139566Silver’s rifle misses, gets caught in the band that keeps Forrester’s pack on his shoulder, and falls the ground when Silver tries to pull it back
Forrester shoots again
[1d20+3 = 23] >>139566>>139567Unfortunately, this one is quite the hit
[1d20+3 = 5][2d6 = 7] >>139568"Блин, больно!"
Silver picks the rifle back up.
>>139569This, he does. Another attack, or attempt to kick Forrester?
>>139571A hit, if barely, against the prone Forrester
>>139573Forrester is knocked down, to the ground.
Silver can see his cost burn away in bright green light, revealing one of the parasitic, black pony imitators in his place.
