The recon goes wrong however when the Blackhawk he and Private Clarence G. Powell crashes into Sweet Apple Acres after passing through an Anomaly in the field. Kevin thinks this must be a dream come true, until he realizes the Equestria he knows and loves is only a surface view of the struggles of Pony society.

It's going fairly well, the alternate reality is going to take some getting used to, it was rather...for lack of a better word...overwhelming, but I think I can get used to it. Although one word, cliffhangers! God those things they are evil, evil I say. A few grammar errors, I didn't really take note, I'm not much of a proof reader, one was lack of a space after a comma and another I remember was when you went to spell "her" you wrote "he", that seems to be common on many stories though. All in all I'd say it's good, keep it up, can't wait to see their reactions to a machine such as a helicopter, or the people inside it. A small group of US soldiers should make a large difference in a world where wars are fairly rare, the presence of a race who can't go more than 20 years without fighting one is a major power shift.

Its an interesting take putting humans into a war-torn Equestria, though what of Celestia and Luna? Not sure if that's going to be explained or not but that should be something to touch on (would imagine if this takes place as an alternative ending to S2 where the mane six failed to stop the Changelings).

I don't have many other qualms about it, perhaps putting a bit more into this chapter and flushing out more events that would bring the ponies up to this point (plus finding that radio seemed a bit odd, didn't know the ponies had radio-type devices.)

Look forward to see where its going, tbh I wrote something like this way back in the day, only towards a different fandom interest.

Please tell me that the Changeling Empire is about to get buttfucked by the US Army :pinkiehappy:

2069154 that would count as a spoiler, and the doctor so dislikes spoilers :raritywink:

2070989 what if i told you Ranger's get them once they reach PFC? :trixieshiftright: New protocol starting last year, and this is set in 2020.

however i do like that you pay attention to detail. :twilightsmile:

also you are an awesome attack aircraft :pinkiehappy:

So far you have done excellent. Drawing me in to both realities before mixing them together. However I will hold my judgement until the next chapter because that is where this story truly begins. :moustache:

2068398 aint thst the truth aslo noting that tjere some of best im the world

So far so good, still with the twist though...like the main character being a Brony...that was actually a minor let down, I had thought this would be one where the show doesn't exist and it was just some inter-dimensional travel thing. Ah well...I have other stories that are those. Of course as for how Kevin will break the truth of not being able to contact his superiors however...

Edit: I re-read the description and noticed it mentioned him as to watching the show...I'm not sure how I missed that.

I beg of you plz let the might of the u.s.a and nato smash the changelings plz oh plz

I don't like how the ponies have fully developed firearms- muskets could make sense, but cartridges? They didn't exist until about 800 years after the first weapon was made.

2086717 never did i mention such. i said repeating firearms, this includes double action revolvers, the revolver rifle and such.

i wouldnt give them something the humans couldnt give an advantage with :raritywink:

EDIT: Woops, read that wrong. the first cartirdge was in fact a paper wrapped powder load and ball, so it isnt too hard to imagine they used metal instead, right?

2086167 I would tell you that the US of A and NATO would kick changeling flank...

If the US of A and NATO were involved that is. i have no intention of dragging more human's into the story from earth. :raritywink:

But but awwwwwwww............... ok! I look fowrd to the next chapter

2123694 It's still going, so keep watching it :pinkiehappy:

Also thankyou for the compliment and comment :twilightsheepish:

i caught myself talking in an arnold accent during the interrogation.....

I luld at the owing of the general by are ranger chum

2086746
Just want to lean in and say this before I read...
1871: Cartridge revolver
1873: Winchester rifle
1877: Double-action revolver
1879: Lee box magazine patented
1892: Automatic handguns invented by Joseph Laumann
1893: Borchardt pistol - automatic handgun with a separate magazine in the grip
1903: First automatic rifle a Winchester (none of this may be exact dates as I am too lazy to do anything beyond wiki before reading)
That is about 641 years after gun powder is marked as being created in China(modern day China).
So, they aren't far from fully automatic fire arms, if they advance on a similar scale to humans that is.
(haven't even read and am leaving small paragraphs)((this is more then I put on most but I like guns))

2186010 I understand your conscern, if i could and not have a scene where the ponies are scares witless by automatic weaponry, i would. however, this seems slightly logical to me with their advancement of weapons seeing as they have real, effective magic to aid in reserch, unlike humans, possibly cutting down on the years to their current stage in arms development.

I do like that you are keeping me in check on the guns though,. kudos :pinkiehappy:

EDIT: also, i would like to clarify they are on the Double action revolver level as of now.

2186022 is that a Winchester 3030 lever action in your pocket, or are you just happy to see the update? :raritywink:

Not a bad start can't say its something i'm used to but you've caught my interest so im gonna continue on with this story.
Also I'm impressed with the military lingo you used it didn't sound like you were spouting random bullshit I'm guessing you have a military family or military background yes? Anyways time to see how this progresses!:rainbowdetermined2:

2186145 Both in fact. Im the only Boot in my Navy family. :pinkiesmile:

Also the ponies kinda get my buds teasin me, but its all good. Im glad you're interested in it. I hope to keep you attention though all the plot twists. :twilightsmile:

So there are native Humans? Wow, this is getting to be one complex world, this reality is very different from the show, more than just a "what if" the changelings won. This is more a completely different universe, a mix of ours and pony. I'd like to see how this goes.

2188343 All hail the Native amongst us! *bowing session*

lol i like all those north European languages, sadly though my interest does me no good in America :twilightsheepish: go figure:derpytongue2:

2188391 Hehe, I feel honored ^^ And yeah, I hear ya, but maybe in Minnesota, that's where the many of the Swedish immigrants moved in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

2196768 somepony that does their research! Kudos brony! :pinkiehappy:

now think of this in a futuristic era where is is more streamlined and has more abilities

2363312 'no' because two teams died and 'lol' because new humans came

So I assume Chrysalis will eventually feel the raging fiery of human military might? Albeit a small group of humans but nevertheless human military might!

Anywho, awesome story my awesome fellow, please continue this story! :pinkiehappy:

This story is good. The way Kevin was influencing the situation so far, that avoided that world's further corruption. And the fact that it's BHD crossover.
Though: this

Normally he would have a cup of coffee or an energy drink nearby to his right, but in its stead was an ashtray, occupied by three crushed butts and one burning cigarette.

is very alarming. When someone mentions smoking in a story about Equestria, it usually means that other human world things are pending and story about Equestria is stopping being about Equestria. :ajsleepy:

3621100 Actually no, though it is going to side track. this is a Dark story, thi\us the world is more real. in a realistic world, others capitolize on that which others crave and harms others. Filthy Rich has capitolized on Tobacco from the Saddle Arabian trade market.

they are Equestrian cannon for this fic
