The Origins Of War



It had been almost two years since Humans entered the land of Equestria. They came in peace, and we welcomed them with open arms and helping hooves. We offered them, places to live and food to live off of... We gave them everything they needed to survive in this new environment.
Now they are our enemy and a deadly one at that. If this doesn't stop then we could lose Equestria. It abruptly started when they hit Manehaten, quickly moving on to Canterlot, and I fear Ponyville will be the next in line. When they started this war they brought their infernal war machines through, weapons and vehicles of strange design. Large metal beasts called “tanks” that roll on treads and shoot projectiles that wipe out multiple ponies at once. Their weapons aren't so different from ours though, and in many ways ours are more powerful. Our guns can hold more rounds then theirs and we have more readily available ammo and supplies as well. Theirs shoot metal rounds. Ours shoot metal rounds as well, but most of ours are almost twice the size. Our biggest dilemma is the tanks. We have no efficient way of taking them down, so we try to capture them or destroy them with hand-held explosives. Despite heavy casualties, we take down more of their soldiers each battle and are holding a strong front line outside of Canterlot. Still, as long as the portal remains open, they can bring in more. We must destroy that portal, or I fear Equestria will be lost.
