United Nations Main Office
Geneva, Switzerland
Europe
"Can you please elaborate?" Thatcher broke the silence that filled the room.
"I want to liberate you from your corrupted forms," Celestia replied.
Reagan gave her a curious looks, "And what do you think you mean by that?"
"I want to fix your greed, and your corruption, and fix the mistakes your people have made damaging your lands, for there is still hope! You can take a potion, be free of your greed corruption and blood lust, as well as your physically inferior forms and come to live in Equestria!"
All of the leaders at the table threw various deadpanned looks at her. Finally, Gorbachev spoke up in an attempt to change the subject, as well as know the fate of his ships, "What happened in the Pacific?"
Celestia looked at him quizzically, "Do you mean the ships that were in the area that's now Equestria?" In return, Gorbachev nodded. "Those that were on the ships were converted into ponies and now live in Equestria."
Mikhail looked angry. Very angry. However, his expression wasn't the only one betraying such emotion- Reagan looked shocked, wondering why in the hell someone would have the nerve to touch ships belonging to his beloved nation. Surprisingly, of all the people in the room, the Chinese leader spoke up.
"Do you have any idea how many resources were on the ships? Do you know you just kidnapped two thousand Chinese citizens?"
Celestia gave him a death glare, "Like it matters to you, all you care about is power, not your people. They will be happier in Eques-"
"Then why don't you let people decide for themselves? Why do you have to do this against their will?"
"Well, uh-" The all-powerful 'goddess' of Equestria was put at a loss for words by the American ex-actor. In return, Reagan put on a sly smile.
"We can live in peace," Gorbachev spoke, hoping to avoid looking incompetent, "We don't need this, and you shouldn't either, we can work something out."
"War cannot happen, however, you cannot continue your self-destructive behavior, so join me, or I will force it with my magic. And you won't like it." She brandished a large bottle from a bag nearby, levitating it over.
The humans' surprise was quickly replaced by anger, and that fueled action. Reagan punched Celestia square in the face, knocking her down. Quickly, he rushed out of the room, followed by others. Two United Nations guards rushed in to take the place of the leaders who had fled. The first man pointed his M-16 at Celestia and fired, but a bright flash engulfed the room, and she was gone without a trace.
The second solider walked over to the bottle that still lay on the ground, its contents soaking into the teak floorboards. Meanwhile, the first man continued to scan the room, confused by the disappearance of the alicorn. The man investigating the substance pulled his radio off his vest and called for a hazmat cleanup team. As he turned to leave, he slipped and fell right into the puddle of the purple liquid, and he screamed, making his comrade rush over to pull him away, but it was too late. The first human to be ponified by potion could only lie there as he lost his humanity.
The world's leaders navigated the hordes of reporters, escorted by guards who were almost as good at this as they were, on their way to their respective transport vehicles. In the case of Reagan, it was his trusty Presidential Cadillac. His destination was the hotel he would be spending the night in, The Marriott.
Fifteen minutes later, his percussion pulled up to the hotel. He walked straight into an elevator, and got out at his penthouse suite. He walked over to his bed and sat down, rubbing his face. Two Marines entered the room behind him, carrying a brief case, which Reagan knew was the football. He picked up the phone on his nightstand, and requested a secure line.
"Sir, we're going to need to go to REDCON 2 for all of the Marines in the Pacific, and DEFCON 3 for all of our Air Force guys in Hawaii."
"Uh- yes sir, Mr. President," The Secretary of Defense said on the other side of the line, "Will that be all, sir?"
Reagan thought for a moment, "Yeah, that should be good."
The General acknowledged and the line went dead.
"Choryt!" Gorbachev cursed in his hotel room, "We're going to need to send more ships out there, landing ships."
One of the officers that stood in the room with him saluted and walked away to make it happen. Then, the balding mand turned towards another officer, "We want paras on standby. We can't let this can't go wrong."
The man nodded and followed the other man to a second section of the apartment. Suddenly, a bright flash engulfed the room and Mikhail jumped backward.
I must say, Celestia has some guts being so brazen like that.
Also, REAGAN PUNCH FTW
EPIC! Reagan punches out Celestia! Now that is awesome!
And Celestia plain sucks at diplomacy.
Well, keep writing!
If i'm not mistaken, Choryt is the pronunciation of the Russian word "Bastard"?
Also, Reagan punching Celestia!?!?

Choryt means damn and hell in the appropriate circumstances, bastard as well. It's a great word because it is just the main general purpose Russian swear word.
The image of Reagan punching Celestia will now be forever stuck in my head.

Russians are efficient if nothing else!
MAKE THE FREAKING CHAPTERS LONGER PLEASE!
That will be all, thank you.
Oh god, the Russians have Transporters! Now they can simply beam their nukes anywhere in the US! Or Equestria!
... I've been watching a lot of Star Trek and it's one in the morning, don't judge me.
My God Celestia... Have you no heart?!
DEFCON 2 in seven minutes.
Longer chapters are required.
Geese Celestia sucks at diplomacy. Not only did she teleport her entire nation on top of Russian and American fleets she stood in front of the Chinese President and told him that he didnt care for his people and that the people she kidnapped were going to be happier away from his nation. She also told Reagan that they shouldnt have a choice in the matter IN FRONT OF HIS FACE come on Celestia hes freaking Ronald Reagan for petes sake! You just basically declared war on a species over 8 centuries more technologically advanced then you, I mean seriously Sarah Palin could do a better job than you did!
You dont freaking walk up to a bunch of leaders... no strike that a bunch of human leaders... no delete that to... a bunch of human leaders of the Earths super powers and tell them that they cant keep their Humanity and she will force something upon them! GAH!
I bet Luna before she got lessons from Twilight and others could do better than you just did. It would at least be more interesting with the 'Royal We' and Im pretty sure somepony like Luna would have the brains not to be such a political failure!
*inhale* ... *exhale* ... *inhale* ... *exhale*
Please make longer chapters?
You now, at this point I can deal with the "Xenolestia" thing, but I would like if some author give the thousand years experienced, Sun goddess monarch a bit more machiavellian traits when dealing with humans´ diplomatics. Really, this is just plain silly
USA- 1
Equestria- 0
Reagan beat Commies, so I would safely assume he'll beat the Ponies.
And we won't let you take our planet, so give up, or we will force you with our Tsar.

And you won't like it.
2028587Out of curiosity how badly do you think this is gonna turn out for equestria? Also i wonder why people act like Luna is any better, I mean she's less experienced, has social skills that make Xenolestia's diplomacy skills look merely below average, and is less powerful.
Reagan punching Celestia? Celestia at a loss for words over THE FIRST question asked about conversion? From First Contact to war in less than 900 words? I know the tone is supposed to be serious, but it seems closer to dark, over the top comedy ala Dr. Strangelove.
Love a good 'TAKE THAT' at the TCB genre but this needs longer chapters and a slower pace.
okay chums lets kill some ponies, LEEEROY JENKINS!

Wait...... Cant we just nuke em? I mean this is the cold war and the soviets alone have literally THOUSANDS of them
2032912 I agree. This fic needs longer chapters and a slower pace.
Still, yet another reason why Ronald Reagen is one of the best US presidents EVER: punching Celestia in the face.
2028602
Reagan the best president of our time (in my opinion) punching celestia
should have used brass gloves
also why not raise Defcon to level 0
yes level 0 Dubstep everything
2036117 america invented the atomic bomb and tested the most bombs why do you think that america has the highest cancer rate in the world you know why?
its all the Nuclear radiation form the bombs we tested
MOAR
I hope to get to see Deltas and Spetsnaz working together.

Incorrect infromation. Incorrect infromation everywhere!

Dude don't let this die man! Continue writing!
Nice to see a familiar face in a TCB fic. (I'm Chinese)

Here is Geneva convention specifically.

REGAN PUNCH FTL... Do you know how hard it is to become president? You have to be a near-robot. (And that means keeping a lid on your emotions) Of course plenty of presidents have been known to have tempers, they just hide it well. In the eyes of the public it looks bad.
I'm calling that OOC.
Celestia has a point.
Except the "physically inferior" part, of course. I still like my human body, thank you very much.
And she's freakin' strawman.
The first human to be ponified by potion could only lie there as he lost his humanity.
I thought the guys in the Pacific were the first ones...
I'm going to have the image of Regan punching Celestia in my head all day
Also you get a like
Is it even possible to selectively implement DEFCON?
Also, I agree with the two above statements that this needs to be longer and slower paced. It also needs to have way more political intrigue, and Celestia needs some freaking subtlety. Not to mention we need lots more character development.
I really like this idea. I really, really REALLY want to see a good story made from it. But I want to see it done right. This as it stands needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.
yup,physically inferior forms...*pulls out smg* don't give a shit!! *insert trollface*
2257784 Ah, but those in the pacific were ponified via barrier. Depending on if you believe Celestia(nice going with subtlety, Celly), they could also be dead or even still alive.

This is a literary masterpiece just for that one line.
Unless he happens to have some musical instruments with him, i believe you mean procession
