As soon as the kids were behind her the blue pony ticked a mental objective point off her list.
Somehow, her horn glew and the slide of the Paladin flew back; a white-hot rectangle dropped from it. She then refocused, aiming through the optical scope and picking off wolves. She turned around a second and stared at them. She hoped the blood and grit on her face would help what she was about to say.
"Stay behind me! I'm heading into the castle, run if and when I tell you to!"
She then looked at Archer. "Then hopefully they like a little fire!" Tapping a few buttons on her Paladin somehow, red holograms appeared around it. Its rounds now had the capability to light targets on fire. She took precise, carefully aimed headshots.
B-Company continued to rain hell on them, but the mega-wolf was heading directly for them. "GUYS, WE'VE GOT THE ALPHA MALE, HEADED RIGHT FOR US!"
Haggard shoved Sweetwater out of the way. "ONE CAN OF WHOOP-ASS FUCK YOU, COMING RIGHT UP!" He heaved a large green tube to his shoulder, and Marlowe slid behind him so he didn't fall down. "EVERYONE BEHIND THIS GET THE HELL OUTTA THE WAY!"
Once the backblast was cleared, Haggard pulled the trigger, and the M2 Carl Gustav recoilless rifle fired with a loud thump, propelling its 83mm warhead combo. Unlike other launchers, this one did not fire a missile - rather, it was a small piece of portable artillery. And it was aimed right at the alpha.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."
What the jumping timber wolves didn't knew is that HUNK Is an expert in hand to hand combat and its suicide to attack him at CQC.
He grabbed the second timber wolf in the air by its head as he twisted its head,HUNK finally showing his Neck-Breaker,and if it wasn't enough...
he slammed it down the ground and taking out his combat knife, he Stabbed it multiple times in its two eyes and head attempting to decapitate it,before taking out his pistol and shooting at it point blank and finally stomping on its head multiple times.
After finishing Torturing the possibly dead timber wolf,he turned to check the CMC For a moment before facing the first timber wolf,staring at it saying.
"Try it. I dare you. Try to kill the man that can never die. I fucking Double dare you".

"S'alrigh' Fluttershy. I had some vittles for yer critter- what the hay?!" Applejack started back, a good few paces, when that thing emerged from Fluttershy's mane. Several thoughts went through the farmer mare's mind in rapid succession: the obvious fright, frantic concern for her friend, a vague confusion at how such a creature could even fit into Fluttershy's mane in the first place, and a forced command of calm to her own body. She cleared her throat:
"Fluttershy, uh... your mane? Somethin's in it, if ya haven' noticed."

Another poof of dust, a slightly larger one...and from it suddenly shot a red and gold blur, which smacked into the ground with a hard KAPOW, the figure landing hard on all fours, a metallic creaking joining it. Just behind that figure came another figure, a large white stallion with a blonde man, dressed in some sort of red, white and blue uniform, with a large, circular shield done in similar colors hooked onto his front leg. Both of them looked around in confusion a moment before the first being...what looked like a robotic pony in red and gold, though with a gold-covered unicorn horn at the top of it's head, spoke.
"This is just a guess, Cap, but I'm thinking this isn't New York."
"I'm thinking you're right about that, Iron Man." Captain America turned his gaze to his teammate, at the same time the other pony was turning towards him, and both froze upon catching sight of each other, silent for a second.
"Uhhh, Cap?" Suddenly, the gold faceplate at the front of the robot's face seemed to split and slide to either side, revealing inside the robot was a dark red unicorn with a brown mane, looking exceptionally confused. "Why are you a horse?"
Cap stared at Iron Man's horn a moment. "Why do you have a horn in the middle of your forehead?"
Iron Man sort of crossed his eyes to look at the horn. "Huh. So I do."
The two stallions glanced at themselves, taking in the changes, then just stared at each other a moment, before both said, in the same exasperated tone of voice, "Loki."
"Cap, we've got to talk to Thor about his brother."
Their conversation was cut short, however, when the sounds of battle reached their ears, and Cap turned, shifting a moment to adjust to the feel of being four-legged, before nodding. "Well, strange forms or not, we're still Avengers, and it sounds like we're needed. Come on!" He turned and started to gallop towards the battle, while the other pony's faceplate slid closed, and there was an electronic whir from the boots on all four hooves that propelled the armored pony into the air, dodging expertly past trees, flying right behind the white stallion towards the fight.

HUNK Turned to see at the new Two figures for a moment before facing the staggering timber wolf.
"Come on you bastard,come here,I dare you".
As if on some sort of cue, a small yellow Unicorn dropped from the sky and landed on the platform with a rather unceremonious thud. He pulled his head from the crater, and shook the stars from his eyes.
"Urgh... What just happened? Light? Are you still there?"
He sat there on his hindquarters, before raising one hoof to his head, and quickly withdrawing it, apparently still expecting there to be fingers.
"Where... what am I?"
"Yup. That tasted purple."
"Huh?" Fluttershy looked up and noticed the thing on her head. "Oh, there you are Mittens!" she said to the creature, picking it up by her hooves and gentling nuzzling it. "I call this little one Mittens," she said to Applejack. From the angle the pegasus was holding the cub, the apple farmer could see the entire creature: All four of its limbs were just like a tiger, its main body was thick like a raccoon or a large dog, and the cobra she saw hovering above the things head turned out to be attached to it like a long, prehensile tail.
The cobra was warily observing AJ, flicking its tongue to taste the air in front of her.
"He's a nue," Fluttershy explained. "I'm taking care of his family in order to gradually getting them use to interaction with ponies before they head over to the Broxen Zoo in Manehatten." She put mittens done on the ground, the little chimera then toddling off into the house. "Thank you ever so much of the apples! I've been told nue love apples! I've been trying to get them on a completely plant based diet, but the only things they will eat are fruits, green leafy vegetables, and carrots. You can come in and give the apples to the family!" she said, widening the door open and walking to side to let her in.

DAMMIT MARK, STOP HOTTING HELPY!!
The wolf took Gasmask up on his offer.
One second, HUNK standing over Wolf.
Next Second, HUNK face first on ground with Timber Wolf having him by the back leg and then it started.
WHAM!
The Wolf swung HUNK up and over and smashed him into the ground one way.
WHAM
Up and over and into the ground yet again. Apparently taunting and boasting to the creature before it was dead was just maybe not a good idea.
The Wolf smashed HUNK back and forth a couple more times and then tossed him away.
One of the wolves Shepard had been shooting smashed into the shield she had set up, snarling as her rounds burned into its wooden bark. It clawed at the shield, as another wolf used the stationary one as a springboard, leaping up and over the shield to try and come down on top of Shepard and the CMC, who had taken cover behind her. The three small ponies screamed in terror.
Archer dodged another monster plant as it tried to snack on him.
“Trace On!” He created a relatively simple blade, a long sword and stabbed it forwards and down, impaling the creatures right foot into the ground. That held it in place, even though it bellowed in pain. Archer charged and leaped, swinging one of his paired swords in a vertical line, slicing through the face of the creature as it was stuck, pushing on through. To Archer's surprise, the damn thing kept going, even missing half of its head.
“What the hell does it take to put you down dog?” He demanded as the creature tried to free itself. Odd that it didn't just chew its leg off to get free...
An idea hit Archer.
“Shoot their limbs off!”
But the winner of “Stupendous Overkill Achievement” went to the Bad Company. The Alpha Wolf was in full leap, its jaws wide as it roared. Then Haggard fired the Carl Gustav and the Wolf swallowed the projectile. For a half second it had a stupefied expression on its face as if it couldn't believe what it had just swallowed. It's eyes were locked with Haggard's as it's cheeks suddenly bulged out.
KA-BOOM!
The thing exploded, blowing out chunks of wood in every direction, and blowing the entire front half of the wolf clean off, letting the corpse fall to the ground with a dull thump.
-♌-
Applejack carefully scrutinized the creature, what Fluttershy called a nue. "Nue, eh? Where'd ya find him?" The more Applejack looked over it, she found that in spite of it's rather beastly appearance and serpentine companion that defied the laws of physics it was in a quaint way cute. Applejack chuckled at her own silliness, though it was tinged with a hint of nervousness. She didn't like that dark look the cobra was shooting at her.
"Anyway, yer righ', I had extra." Applejack nodded in acknowledgement of Fluttershy stepping aside for her and did so, being sure to wipe her dirtied hooves against the ground before stepping in. Fluttershy wasn't exactly Rarity or Twilight, but it was simply common courtesy. "Ain't it the case that all o'yer critters will only eat greens anyway? But I'm glad I could help the little critter out." Applejack dared to nuzzle the nue atop it's actual head, the motion somewhat tense in case she needed to suddenly jump back.

The Timber Wolf would feel pain.
For as Shepard hit the other Timber Wolf with her pistol hard enough to likely stun it, her left hoof had formed into an omni-blade. She positioned it just right... and the Timber Wolf impaled itself on the blade, its warp fields ripping apart its insides.
Haggard, in the meanwhile, gave a wicked grin. "FUCK RIGHT! TAKE THAT AND SWALLOW IT!"
Sweetwater sighed, pushed Haggard out of the way, remounted the MG3, and resumed firing.

Iron Man and Captain America actually drew to a halt just for a moment, taking in the scene. "Are those...tree wolves or something?" Iron Man asked.
"Whatever they are-," Cap's eyes were already scanning the field, and settled on the image of the three screaming pony girls...considering their size and their reactions, he had a feeling they were children, civilians, and didn't belong on a battlefield of any kind. "We need to help take them out. Tony, stay high and strafe, don't let them go near those kids, and keep me aware if more enter the perimeter."
"You got it, Cap!" The jets in his boots fired again, sending the suited pony higher, nearly to the canopy, at which point, after just a second to figure out how to do so, kept three of his legs pointed to stabilize himself and raised the fourth, sending bolts of blue energy down, blasting at some of the creatures. The beams didn't seem to cause much more than concussive damage, but that was enough, as the wolves he hit were knocked down or sideways, leaving them easy prey for anyone else.
The Captain, in the meanwhile, spent a split second glancing about the field, taking in the positions of the wolves, the other ponies fighting, the trees around them, and almost imperceptibly nodded, drawing back the shield on his leg and launching it with a grunt, immediately taking off in a run. The shield cut through a couple of wolves that Iron Man served up, severing off legs or ripping right through bodies, hitting a thick tree at an odd angle that stopped the cutting and caused the shield to bounce off, and just as it started to spiral back to the ground, Cap was there, lunging high into the air and expertly catching the weapon, doing a neat flip forward and landing back on the ground, kicking away a wolf that was too near and continuing across towards the kids, calling out to the female guarding them, having to shout loud enough to be heard over her weapon.
"We need to get the children away from the battle, miss!" he said, coming to a stop. "Do you know where I can take them to keep them safe?"

"Inside the castle, it's where I'm headed to! I'll keep you covered!"
She drew her Hurricane and began spraying the wolves with it.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Cap nodded, turning to the girls, immediately smiling as nicely as he could, crouching to their level and trying to reassure them. "All right, girls. I'm going to need you to come with me, and we'll head to that castle where it's safe until this problem is dealt with. I imagine being out here already means you're pretty brave, so I bet you're brave enough to walk with me over there, am I right?"

HUNK Got up from the ground,wondering how the hell did the timber wolf do that and telling to himself physics wouldn't work that way.
"To tell the Truth,El Gigante attempt to crush me hurt alot more than you did,hell the regenerator attempt to bite away my head off hurt even more."
which then HUNK Took out his pistol and shot the timber wolf that attacked him in its legs,as the timber wolve fell down on the ground,it would find as suddenly a Frag grenade was jammed into its mouth and possibly would be swallowed.
"Vete al diablo,Hijo de puta" Which then HUNK Kicked away the timber wolve into a group of them,blowing them away.
HUNK Got near shepard and captain america,firing at some of the timber wolves nearby.

Mittens happily purred as Applejack nuzzled him. His cobra tail then went from wary to being merely curious.
"Mittens and his family came all the way from Neigh-pon in the Far East," Fluttershy explained as the farmer pony entered. "Unfortunately, nue are very rare nowadays due to hunting and habitat loss and scholars are now trying to start a world wide breeding program together to get their numbers back up." When AJ entered the home proper, she would see four more nue, two of them being the size of full grown bears and the other two the same size as Mittens. "The Broxen Zoo already has a family with a litter, and the zookeepers are hoping the two families will get along well enough for their kids to grow up together," the pegasus continued to explain. "These are the parents," she said pointing a hoof to the bear sized nue. "I named the daddy Boxer, and the mommy Corset." Both of the larger looked up from their playing children to notice the Earth pony, with snake tails observing the pony as well. Corset, the one with the anaconda tail, looked back at her cubs while the father, Boxer, continued looking at AJ, as if observing her.
Fluttershy then turned to the playing cubs. "That one over there is called Cozy," she said, gesturing to the cub adorably playing with a ball of yarn. "And that one playing with Angel Bunny is Socks." Socks was currently sitting upright and playing checkers with Angel Bunny. Socks moved a piece forward. Angel made his move. Sock them picked up a piece and jumped one of Angel's pieces. Then the rabbit moved by taking a piece and jumping most of Socks' pieces, leaving the nue with only one left.
Angel had a smug look on his face while Socks scowled. The nue then ragequit by flipping over the board into Angel's face scattering pieces all over. Angered, Angel looked right into Socks' face. The both of them scowled at one another...........
A beat.
The two then went into a slap fight that was more adorable and funny than actually life-threatening. Fluttershy gave a disgruntled sigh was she tried to carefully break up the fight but was clearly too afraid to get her hurt herself despite the obvious inability to.
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HOTTING HELPY!!
Captain America's shield had dissected the Wolf that had been on the receiving end of Shepard's Omniblade, knocking it clear.
The three Cutie Mark Crusaders were momentarily speechless at Steve Rogers defense of them but they nodded and ran for the castle, darting inside the main doors for cover. The Bad Company's machine gun fire, combined with Shepard's smashed off the last few wolves.
Iron Man's concussion beams bulldozed into one Wolf as Archer was taking its front legs off with one of his swords. The Servant managed to flip backwards and land on all four hooves. Looking upwards at the red armored pony, Archer was surprised,
“Who the hell are you?”
The last unharmed Timber Wolf, seeing its fellows ether brutally killed or maimed, took off running away from the battle, yelping as it went. A couple of others, injured but not dead, followed it.
Apparently Twilight wasn't home so Rainbow Dash was heading off towards Rarity's workshop and she knocked on the door with one hoof.
“Coomminng!” The white unicorn sang as she opened the door,
“Oh, Rainbow! Have you seen Sweetie Bell? I can't find her anywhere.” Dash let out a breathe,
“Was trying to find the three crusaders myself. I just got a bad feeling. Whatever they're up to its no party-”
“Somepony say PARTY?!” Yelled the one and only Pinkie Pie as she somehow managed to appear beside Rainbow Dash like out of thin air.
Rainbow, at this point used to Pinkie's...Pinkieness, wasn't fazed.
“Just trying to find those three before they cause problems. You know how it is. Leave em out of sight for over an hour and BOOM! Catastrophe.” Rarity rolled her eyes,
“Dash dear, they're not that much trouble. Wonder if they went to play at Applejacks?” Rainbow thought about it for a moment.
“They could have. Let's go round up Fluttershy and see where things are happening.” Then the three friends set off to Fluttershy's cottage together, Pinkie and Rarity trotting along and Rainbow, of course, flying.

Cap watched the last wolves making a break for it, and considered that good enough, carefully adjusting his shield on his leg for a more comfortable fit, then turning to follow after the girls, not wanting to let them get too far off on their own.
Iron Man, meanwhile, remained in the air, glancing down at the scene below, silent a moment before shutting off the jets and landing carefully on the ground, checking long enough to be sure Cap was all right before turning his focus back on the others.
"Okay...where are we, and what's going on? This is not my home, not my body, and you are all like nothing I've ever seen before. Which realm did we land in? I've only seen Asgard, Nidavellir, and, oh yeah, Earth, which is where me and my friend are supposed to be. And I don't remember Thor ever telling us about the realm of wood dogs and rainbow horsies."

Shepard sighed and folded her... forelegs? Iron Man seemed impatient. People always were. But it was very tempting for Shepard to vent the stress she had accumulated over the past three years of her life on him, in some small way.
She resisted the temptation - barely.
"I know as much about this situation as you do, sir."
Inside the castle, Marlowe and Redford scanned for threats.
"Environment clear."
"Yeah, clear."
The four relaxed and lowered their weapons.
"If we're horses... how the hell can we use these?"
"Idunno, Haggard..."
Haggard stared cockeyed at Sweetwater. "Hey Sweets, you got a horn on your head!"
"...huh."
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."
"What,you think we goddamn know about why the hell we aren't human anymore or why are we on this place? We are just as confused as both of you are. to tell the truth,maybe the three kids we saved might explai-"
HUNK Turned to see the CMC Running away to the door and inside the castle,groaning in anger as they went away.
"Goddamnit"

Marlowe then noticed the kids. He held his hoof up to his mouth - the team got the hint.
"Kids. Right there. What do we do if they come over?"
"You mean, what do you do?"
Marlowe stared at him and hissed a quick "what?"
"Pres, you're the most... personable of us. You'll be dealing with them and giving us time to think."
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

"So...wait. You're not natives? So, what, then...who are you? What are you? And why would Loki have brought you all into this mess with me and Cap?"
The robot pony's face plate slide to either side again, and the dark red unicorn inside glanced upwards at his horn again before looking around at the others. "Look, I'll even play nice for once. I'm Iron Man. My friend over there is Captain America. We're the leaders of the Avengers, a team of superheroes, back on Earth. And...usually...we're both human."
Meantime, Cap was still trailing after the CMC, more just to keep an eye on the children than anything, and entered the castle warily, glancing around to try and detect any further threats.

...superheroes? That was an incredulous claim to make. Shepard supposed someone could be seen as a superhero provided they were really that popular and powerful. She could be one, technically.
"Ah. Commander Shepard, Council Spectre. Also usually a human. A pleasure to meet you."
She was going to need to keep an eye on this "Iron Man" fellow. He didn't seem all that... nice. And that was a liability in the field.
Inside the castle rested B-Company, who were mostly fiddling with their weapons and chattering amongst themselves. Haggard seemed to make a particular note of endlessly hammering Sweetwater about his horn - in return, Sweetwater endlessly hammered Haggard over the fact he was a technicolour horse without a horn.

"Yeah. Ages beyond what I've seen any armor manufacturer, Council space or no, build - we haven't gotten far enough to get people to fly."
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."
Archer met the first 'timber' wolf head on. It lunged for him, teeth wide but he dodged to left with almost casual ease, swinging on half of his paired blades sideways. It caught the wolf in the mouth, and he pushed on through, cutting the thing from jaw to high quarters. Pushing past it, Archer turned and stared.
He expected the beast to fall, with its insides cut out and pooling on the ground.
It didn't do that. For it had no internal organs. It was just solid, flexable...wood. The reality hit him like a thunderbolt as he dodged its enraged fangs.
“They're PLANTS!”
Gasmask's incendiary grenade bathed two of the beasts in fire but they didn't drop right away, instead they charged into his pistol fire, the first one riddled with bullets but still managing to stagger forwards as the second one leaped through the air with the intent of crushing the offending pony beneath its bark feet.
Bad Company's withering fire from the MG 3 and their rifles smacked into the other animals but it didn't seem to be enough to drop them as they closed.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders (each of them praying right to Celestia they got out of this alive and that they would radically reconsider their rather rash actions) barreled around Shepard and behind her as she had been the one to call out to them for help.
Archer then saw the 'alpha' of this pack. No other word did this thing justice. It was twice the size of the others and it had a battle scarred face that looked like someone had taken an Axe to it once or twice. Point of fact it did have an Axe in its hide! Imbedded in its back was a typical tree faller axe with the handle at an angle to suggest it had been a desperate blow to try and drive the beast off.
The thing was ignoring the others, lunging right for the castle...and the Bad Company.
