A Conversion Bureau story, where the ponies seem to want destruction of Earth a little too much..
Benjamin Johnson, a 17 year old boy is having a normal day... But, of course, with ponies. Ever since Equestria has appeared about 20 miles off the coast of Hawaii, things have changed. Ponies now live among humans. But when they say humans are evil, vile, and cruel... And then try to, not change humans into ponies, but wipe them off the face of the map, leveling cities and crushing villages. There is only one hope now...
"We will not go quietly into the night... We will not vanish without a fight..."
(Temporary art cover until I find something better)
Everything was black. I only heard the sound of silent breathing and a slight breeze blowing past my head, ruffling my hair. Then I noticed how my hair felt against my skull.
Rats. I slept on the wrong side, didn't I?
I slowly raised my head, and opened my eyes. They were flooded by light, and I blinked a few times to focus my eyes. Must've left the window open. Then I smelled a delicious scent. Of course. How could I forget? It was Saturday! That means no school! And that also means that mom is making pancakes! And oh, all that delicious bacon... speaking of which, there was the sound of sizzling bacon. I launched out of bed like a rocket when I heard the bacon. I was already half way down the stairs when my mom called out to me.
"Benjamin, come down. We have baco-" She said as I literally flew across the kitchen floor and landing directly on my chair. A few seconds of silence until my mom finished her sentence. "-n."
My sister laughed so hard orange juice came out of her nose. Everyone laughed, minus my sister who was completely grossed out. Mom smiled, putting four pieces of bacon on my plate. "Is that enough?" she asked sarcastically. "Yes." I said. "I think that will do."
I quickly snarfed down the pancakes and bacon, and hurried down to the front door, putting my coat on and grabbing my keys.
"Benny? Where are you going? You only just got down here." I closed my eyes tight and gritted my teeth. Rats.
I slowly turned around and opened my eyes. "Umm... I was just going over to Liam's..." I said plainly. She stood up from the table and looked at me for about five seconds, but it seemed like an eternity. "Fine." She said. "But be back by lunch." Yes!
"Thanks!" I said, then left before she could change her mind. And no, I was not actually going to Liam's. In reality, I was going to see him, but not actually go to his house. I then jumped in my car and started the car. I was actually going to a special meeting, conference, I don't know. But Twilight Sparkle said she had some important news. Twilight Sparkle? You may ask. Oh, stupid me! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Benjamin Johnson. And Equestria appeared off the coast of Hawaii a while ago. Twenty miles, to be exact. Anyway, we lived in harmony ever since. Cool, huh? Especially since I'm in the same city that the mane six live in, and the CMC. Amazing, huh? Oh wait. It's New York. I live in New York. Makes sense, right? I mean, New York City is, like, THE most popular city in the world. Obviously they would live here. Speaking of which, there was The Statue of Liberty right there. As I drove by, I noticed oddly shaped cars, with ponies inside. They must've made pony special cars. I pulled in Liam's driveway and got out.
I walked over to the front door of Liam's house and knocked. Anyway, I said I was not actually going to Liam's. I was just picking him up. I waited a few minutes until his mom opened the door. "Can I help you?" She asked. "Yes." I said. "Is Liam home?"
She gave me a puzzled look, and said, "No. He said he went over to your house." FUDGE. LIAM, WHY?!?!
"Erm, yes. He did, I was just... um... He said..." I said, sweating. I knew I was screwed. "He was going to do something and will be right back. I was... wondering if he came back here." I finally said, tugging the collar on my shirt. She looked at me, and then said, "No. He's not here"
"Okay. Thanks. Bye!" I quickly said, and went back to my car. Grrr... Liam was already at the meeting. Shoot. I thought he agreed to let me pick him up...
I drove across town, and passed The Statue of Liberty again. As I parked in front of, what was this again? Well, it was tall... anyway, I opened my car door and entered the building. There was a huge crowd, and I could see the mane six on a balcony. They were not happy though, a stern, even mad expression on they're faces. I became worried when many people started whispering to each other. Now, where was he? I began searching for liam, with unexpected success as I found him trying to nudge himself into the crowd.
"Hey, watch it buddy!"
"Stop pushing!"
"Ow!!"
"Sorry, sorry!" He said smiling innocently. That's Liam for you.
"Hey, Liam!" I called out. He turned in my direction, and a wide smile came across his face as he saw me. "Ben!" He said, knocking people as he tried to get out of the traffic jam he pushed himself into. He grunted, then popped out and torpedoed towards me. We then did our secret handshake, lower high five, upper high five, fist bump and thumbs up.
"Dude, I thought your mom caught you! Where have you been?!" he said. "Traffic." I said. "It was mad. Seemed like every human in the state was coming here."
"Weird."
"Good morning, everypony!" Said Twilight Sparkle. A few seconds of silence passed after that. "Humph." Somebody said.
"Oops. Um... Everybody!" Twilight Sparkle said, correcting herself. "I want to you talk about something very important." A silence came upon the people. "You're evil."
Screams of annoyance came from the crowd. A few people dropped to the ground and started crying, and others simply raised their hands in the air like they're saying, 'I'm done.' and simply walked out.
"Yeah! You humans are evil. So uncool! Like, why did you fight world war 1 and 2, hmm?" Rainbow Dash said, coming straight up to somebody's face. He cringed, and then collapsed onto the floor. Two people lifted him up and took him out of the building.
"Rainbow! Come back here right now. We already know the answer." Rarity said. "Because they are ugly, big, mean, selfish, greedy, petty species that like to fight and kill."
More cries of protest.
"WHAT?! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FRIGGIN' KIDDING ME!!" Someone screamed, followed by giggles of the people around him.
"Seriously?!"
"We should just blast their faces off!"
"I swear, this is going to be like that movie Independence Day..."
Pinkies Pie then spoke. "Meanies! All evil, wanting to fight and kill!" "These people don't deserve us." That was Rainbow. "We could send them to the moon with a buck!" said Apple Jack. "Hey! Everybody! listen up!" said Twilight, looking at her friends sternly.
"They are all right. Your evil. So we thought of turning you into the perfect species... Ponies! But... of course, your stubbornness to being saved is very bad, so we decided to wipe you off the face of the planet, and then your be perfect, in heaven! Aren't we nice? Anyway, don't worry about your planet. It will be wiped clean and everything you've completely messed up will be fixed!"
More screams. A couple of people took tomatoes from a random vegetable stand, I have no idea where it came from or why it was there, but they began tossing the tomatoes at them. The ponies yelped and were surprised. They then looked at everybody mad. "See? EVIL!" Rarity screamed. "They ruined my coat!"
The screaming stopped when a bright white light and a dark blue one appeared, and then faded to reveal the princesses themselves.
"Starting with you." Celestia said, using her magic. Everybody immediately began screaming, but not of outrage, bit sheer terror. Almost everyone got out, but a unlucky few got vaporized.
"Ahh! Run, Ben!" Liam said, charging out of the... I still have no idea what this building is. But anyway, I screamed at the top of my lungs, and I turned to my left only to see someone get vaporized. That sight terrified me. I stopped in my tracks, staring at where he originally was.
"BEEEEEN!" I heard Liam call out. He grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the building. I just heard Twilight say... "Why are they running? Were saving them!" Are you KIDDING me?!
I rushed out of the building. A second later it erupted from the bottom-top. The mane six and the princesses, along with the CMC (where ever the frick they came from) burst out of the top a split-second before it exploded. A blast of magic came out of the Celestia's horn, and I watched it fly through the sky, hitting The Statue of Liberty. I stared in complete shock as the head of Lady Liberty collapsed backwards crushing a tour boat. shortly afterward the arm holding the torch fell down, smashing with a thud, a splinter, and a crack. Everyone stared in silence, everyone who had hats putting them across their chests, And a few people saluted. Silence.
The President hurried along the halls of the secret military base, Area 51. Something has happened in New York, and it was important that he knew. A iron vault door lifted up, and he hurried in. Only to be swamped with scientists a second later.
"Mr President, it's... the ponies..." Someone said, with a very stressed look on his face, sweat dripping like Niagara falls. "In New York..."
"Get me a map!" The President said hastily. Immediately, someone placed a map of the world on the table. "Here." someone said, pointing to New York City. "Yes, I know where New York is... A map of New York City!" The President said. Another map was placed on top of the map of the world. "Right here, in the Chrysler Building. They held a conference of some kind." another scientist said.
"And? What's so bad about that?" The President said.
"They... announced humans evil, vile, cruel, ugly, petty, mean, selfish, and always want to fight and kill, and that we're better off dead."
The President stared at the map for a minute. Everything in the room was silent. He put his hands on the table and sighed deeply.
"And blew up the Chrysler Building."
"WHAT?!"
"They are going to destroy everything they can, wiping out the human race."
"What else did they get?"
"The Statue of Liberty is no more. The attacks are still going on as we speak. Should we take action?" another scientist asked plainly.
"Yes. SEND OUT EVERY ARMY WE HAVE, CODE RED, PEOPLE!! CODE RED!"
The scientists began running around, picking up phone's and calling the armies. The President walked out of the vault, and sighed as he left.
New York City...
Luna and Celestia watched the mane six, smiling.
"Art thou sure about this, Tia?" Princess Luna asked, worried.
"No, I'm sure the humans will be very happy. They just didn't expect it, and that sort of freaked them out. They will be happy, Positive." Celestia said, looking at the city of New York. A huge CRAAAACK was heard, and the Empire State Building exploded, collapsing into itself and lowering it's height, before it crashed to the ground with a thud. "Well, there goes that dumb building."
"I thou thought it looked rather nice, a good work of engineering." Luna said, frowning.
"Nonsense! We will wipe it off, and turn this wonderful area into a new Manehattan!" Celestia said, smiling. Another thud, and the brooklyn was seen collapsing. The support on the left exploded, caused by the DCE (Demolition Crew of Equestria), and destroying the first support knocked over the next, and the entire thing fell down into the water with a belly flop. A huge wave flew across the bay and washed away what was left of the Statue of Liberty. Another explosion knocked out more buildings, and the screams from the humans were there too. Still panicking.
"If they really were happy, why are they screaming?" Asked Luna.
"Because nopony likes to be killed, but when it makes you better you love it, but that's after it happens. They will resist but will thank us later." said Princess Celestia.
A worried look came from Luna, she didn't like this one bit. Just then, a member of the Demolition Crew of Equestria flew up to her and Celestia.
"Sorry to interrupt, princess..." He gave a slight bow. "But we are ready to fire the missile, the city is being evacuated. We may fire when ready." He said. A second later, as if on cue a bullet shot through his face. He plummeted to the ground with a thud.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" asked Luna, with her Royal Canterlot Voice.
"We have come to stop you." said a voice. The sisters twirled around to see many helicopters, along with about a hundred ground soldiers with guns and tanks and such.
The voice was coming from a helicopter. It was The President of the United States, along with the presidents of Canada, Italy, France, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Australia, China, UK, India, among others.
"I am The President. Along with me are the presidents of every other place in the world. We will not let you kill us off. Today, we march!" Celestia then held the helicopter in her magic, throwing it back and forth, knocking all the presidents around, before throwing it away. There was a silent explosion as the helicopter hit the ground.
"I really wonder why they resist so much?! We're saving them!" Celestia said. Princess Luna gritted her teeth. Rainbow Dash then zoomed past her, and knocked a helicopter into another, followed by a barrage of bullets. She dodged them and zoomed down, picking up a large chunk of debris and sticking it in the barrel of the missile launcher thingy. A second later it exploded, wiping out a large portion of the army.
"YEAAAAAH!" She said. "CHARGE!" she was then held back by Twilight's magic.
"Rainbow, we have to leave! The whole city has been evacuated, and they're getting ready to launch a nuclear missile! The rest of the mane six came by, and Twilight's horn flared and sparked with magic, and a loud pop... They we're gone, along with the princesses.
Everything suddenly became quiet.
"Wait, did she say...? Nuclear...?"
A huge bang shook the world, and everything lit on fire. Everything then was vaporized in a nuclear explosion. New York was no more.
Meanwhile, seconds earlier...
The President of the United States was awoken by a loud bang. He climbed out of his broken helicopter, and looked behind him. A nuclear explosion. Everything went hot, rising in temperature rapidly. he knew this was it. The end of New York. He sighed.
"Oh well. At least I didn't die in vain." He said. He closed his eyes. A single tear passed down his cheek. Seconds passed. And Seconds turned into minutes. What...?
He opened one eye. He almost fainted. All he say was a void. An endless void of nothingness. He was standing on a single block of stone. He slowly turned around, still nothing. But when he turned all the way around, there was a door. He froze. He just stood there for a long minute. he looked down at the void. That was a near impossible jump to make. If he falls in that void, who knows what would happen? He closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. Here goes nothing. A single bound, and he felt nothing but air under his feet. A white light. And he appeared in a long hallway. Huge open windows were laid out on the sides, and through those windows there was the sky, and beautiful architecture along the frames. A red carpet led from where he was standing to a throne. And on that throne, was a being, wearing the whitest of coats you have ever seen. His face was not visible, hidden in a white light. The President froze again.
"Don't be afraid. Come here." The voice was booming and loud, but yet kind and gentle. It's hard to explain. Sort of like taking a hot shower, and then wearing the fluffiest of towels. The President of the United States took a careful step forwards, followed by another, and another, and another... and he gently walked towards the being.
A loud whistling sound flew through the air, followed by the distant sound of an explosion. More followed the first, and then a loud bang shook Washington D.C, a missile hit the Washington Monument's base, and a loud crack was heard. and the Washington Monument came-a-tumbling down. It hit the ground on it's side, with a loud crunch as it caved in on it's self. Celestia and Luna looked over the city, smiling. Although the plan of killing humans may seem horrible at first glance, once you know the reason we're doing it you couldn't possible resist volunteering to help out. Too bad the humans didn't really understand what heaven is really like, they must think they're crummy, polluted, violent, evil, murky, dark, world is better. Why else would they be resisting to death so much?
Luna looked over towards the center, or at least what she suspected was the center; of the town where the Washington Monument once stood proud. It overlooked the city of Washington D.C., shining brightly at night; and spreading beauty in the day.
"Do we really have to destroy this city, Sister? Or, any city, in general?" Luna asked, cringing as she saw Congress being flattened by a magical burst.
Princess Celestia flew down towards The White House, and sighed. "Yes, Sister. As much as I hate to do so, but you know the spell." she said. "If it is going to fix pollution, then we will need to get rid of most of the major cities. The spell can handle natural things, and most ruins or houses, but the major cities and big things like that it cannot handle. We need to manually get rid of those."
Luna looked at Celestia curiously, before finally landing on The White House along with Celestia. They trotted to the center of The White House roof, and Luna's horn glowed, sparks flying off. A huge beam of black light flashed across the city, and all the ponies disappeared. Everything they were holding dropped to the ground, leaving only ruins and humans.
"I evacuated the city. Now what?" Luna asked, blowing her horn to cool it off.
"We use the spell on it." Celestia said. A silent bang came from the side of The White House, and after a few oof's, and ow's, The CMC popped up on the roof. They climbed on it and looked around what was once the city Washington D.C.
"Well, ah think we taught those humans ah lesson on friendship, right girls?" A response filled with nods later, Apple Bloom added, "Heaven as great, right?" "Of course it is!" said Scootaloo.
A second later, the mane six jumped on the roof. They're trots echoing through the empty city.
"Get ready," said Princess Celestia. "We need all the power we can get." The element bearers took out the Elements of Harmony, and put them on. The Princesses started powering up their magic as the Element Bearers had a string of light bounce around on the Elements, they opened their eyes, full white with power, and concentrating it on the Princesses horns. A blast of light blinded them, and they fell to the ground.
"Ugh..." groaned Rainbow. "Did it work?" she looked to the center of the roof, where the princesses once surrounded. There was a small ball of light floating just inches off the roof.
The princesses smiled, followed by the mane six and the CMC.
"Eeeyupe." said Apple Jack, standing up. "We don't have a lot of time. Let's go!" Said Princess Celestia. A flash of white light, and the ponies were gone. A few seconds later, a huge blast of blue-white light flew outwards, in a fashion similar to what the big bang might of looked like, followed by the white orb expanding, covering the ruined city of Washington D.C. like a giant wall of white, transforming everything it touched. Congress became a big oddly shaped rock, the ruins of the Washington Monument became a log, and the White House was turned into a lake. Within a minute, all of Washington D.C. became replaced with wonderful rolling meadows coated with flowers, blissful lakes, forests, and hills, and fresh, clean, non-polluted air. It turned into a beautiful location. But you bet the Vice President was not happy about that.
Meanwhile, in Area 51... The Vice President of The United States walked through the halls of a computer room, and turned left to be met with a person rapidly typing on a computer.
"Well?" He asked. "Did you find him?" The person on the computer nearly jumped out of his skin when The Vice President said.
"N-no..." He said. "We lost all contact with the helicopter caring our worlds leaders. It crashed landed right before the atomic bomb went off. Even if some survived, they couldn't have made it into a bomb shelter that quickly." He stated sadly. The Vice President sighed as he slowly walked away. He heard running to his right and when he turned his head, and saw a man wearing glasses and a white lab coat with papers running towards him. He skidded in his tracks and looked at the Vice President.
"Mr. Vice President," he said, shivering. "We have bad news."
The Vice President nodded and said, "What is it?" The man gulped, and flipped a page. He took a deep breath and then spoke.
A bright white sphere flew across the sky, reflecting light, it was about twenty six feet wide and tall, and eleven ponies were inside. Following them was a huge army of ponies, all wearing gold armour and, and swords by their sides. The unicorn warriors carried the swords by their magic, and the Pegasi warriors patrolled the skies, looking for any possible sign of a human. The white alicorn inside the sphere smiled as she looked down at the army below. The humans will thank us... Seriously, why are they resisting so much? She wondered, her smile turning to a frown. The magic sphere concentrated the heat of the sun, and the sphere kept in the heat.
"It's boiling in here!" Rainbow said, falling to the bottom of the sphere. "Why can't we just turn up the air conditioning?!" she complained, banging her head against the floor. The Cutie Mark Crusaders seemed to be having a good time, namely Scootaloo, who was riding her scooter in the sphere, nearly doing a full loop around the top of the sphere, but the scooter didn't have enough speed. The scooter separated from the sphere wall.
"Whooaaa!" She said, smashing into the rest of The Cutie Mark Crusaders, her scooter flying over to the other side of the sphere. It then whirled around and bounced off, coming to a stop next to Twilight.
"Oof!" Apple Bloom said. "Did you do it?" she looked up at Scootaloo, who looked over to her scooter.
"Nearly..." Scootaloo said, looking at the top of the sphere. The three attempted to get off each other, which after a few seconds worked. "I just can't get past that spot, there..." she said, pointing to a spot top right of the sphere. "Right when I begin to turn upside down."
Twilight Sparkle smiled as The Cutie Mark Crusaders tried to figure out how Scootaloo could do a full loop around the sphere, which is twenty five feet roughly, so it would be a laugh as they try to figure it out.
"Ugh! I'm melting alive, here. How 'bout turning up the air conditioning?" asked Rainbow Dash, flying up to the top of the sphere, she looked down at Princess Celestia, who nodded and her horn glowed. A second later it became a lot cooler in the sphere. "Ah, thank you." She said, landing. Then Scootaloo flew halfway across the sphere, landing once again in the center.
"Well, I got farther... But it's still not good enough." She said, sighing. "More slippery sauce, or whatever it's called?"
"We won't have time for that." Celestia said, causing Twilight's ears to perk up, listening intently. "We're here!" The mane six, along with the CMC looked out the clear sphere. There, indeed, was a large city. The ponies seemed rather impressed with what these humans have built. There was a sign along a mountain, which read 'Hollywood' in big bold white letters, and seemed to not be level. A big tower shown in the distance, which was probably the U.S Bank Tower.
"Eh, not as cool as Los Pegasus, but still, decent, I guess. You know, for a bunch of hair-less apes." Rainbow said, obviously liking the Hollywood sign. It was just like the Applewood sign.
"It looks dazzling. Too bad we have to destroy it... It's a breathtaking sight." Said Rarity. Twilight's ears moved. She heard something. Rainbow seemed to have heard it too, along with the princesses.
"Uhh, what was that?" Asked Rainbow, looked in the direction the sound came from. A second later a bright light flew up into the sky, like a firework. But it didn't explode, it came straight down on top of the pony army. It hit the ground, and a huge grey explosion followed. Swords and shields, mainly armour and dead warrior ponies. It flew all across the army, knocking out a large portion.
"WHAT THE HAY WAS THAT?!" Yelled Apple Jack. It didn't take long for her question to be answered, because a second later a loud scream was sent ringing across the army, there mouths fell open as they saw an entire army of humans, armed from head to toe with camouflage battle armour, and guns of all types. There were grenade launchers, and even flamethrowers. Many tanks of all types, and all sorts of missile launchers and attack helicopters. Princess Celestia's horn glowed, and a white beam flew across the army of humans.
"350 U.S. Marines, all armed with assault rifles, sniper rifles, and multiple handheld guns. 20 Apache attack helicopters, 30 Abraham tanks, multiple tomahawk missiles standing by for launch, grenade launchers, flamethrowers, many battlements and turrets, and somebody has an exo-skeleton suit." She said simply, cringing.
"You have got to be kidding me." Said Rainbow Dash.
"Wheee! Party time!" Said Pinkie.
"How did they know we were coming?!" asked Twilight.
Area 51, 48 hours earlier...
The Vice President hurried along the halls. "What do you mean, the world is ending?!" He asked hastily. The scientist who had supplied him with the news adjusted his glasses.
"T-this world, was never meant to sustain pony life, but that's beside the point. They're replacing major cities with meadows, clean air, and what not. But, if our science is mistaken, which I doubt it is, the cities transformed by the magic spell release a type of radiation. Not a poisonous one, it's even odorless and invisible. It's almost impossible to detect. But, the world where the ponies are from uses this type of radiation as fuel for their magic, to say the least. When their horns activate, the chemicals in the radiation react and basically act as a force, like gravity. The unicorn then becomes in control of the radiation, and can transmit brain waves through the radiation to the object, which causes the radiation to react to the object, thus moving the object at will of the pony." He said, stopping to click a few buttons on a keyboard, and unlock a door. "But this radiation has a bad reaction to the atmosphere. When the spell to transform the ruins of a major city into meadows and such is activated, it releases a lot of radiation. It causes the atmosphere to heat up." He said with a gulp.
"So your saying...?" The Vice President was interrupted by the panicking scientist.
"Yes, this will cause a major global warmth, and will melt the ice caps, turn entire oceans into vapor in seconds, and will have the ability to melt a rock on a sidewalk. Yes, a small pebble will actually melt on a sidewalk if this continues on." He said.
"Oh my god. We have to stop this, but how?!" The Vice President said, panicking now.
"We also discovered that if the source of the radiation is removed, the radiation that was made will go away. We need to wipe out the pony race to have any hope of salvaging this planet."
"So we have to stop them. Where are they headed?!" The Vice President asked.
"We don't know. We have guesses ranging from Seattle and San Francisco, to Miami and Chicago. We honestly have no idea." The scientist lead The Vice President into a small room. But a huge blast of light came from the center of the room. The many scientists studying computers around the room looked back behind themselves dumbfounded.
A man was kneeling there. A man. He was wearing a black suit, and red tie... The President of the United States!
"S-s-sir?!" The Vice President managed to say between deep gasps of air. The President of the United States looked at the floor, and the up at The Vice President of the Unites States.
"Yep," He said. "It's me." The scientists around The President of the United States gasped in shock. The Vice President immediately began shooting off questions faster than you can say angel.
"How?! Where?! Why?!" The Vice President of the United States said rapid-fire.
"God. Heaven. Because I need to tell you something..." The President of the United States said. Then a pair of white wings sprung off from The President of the United States back, stretching out for a least thirteen feet across from tip of wing to tip of wing.
More gasps of sheer shock and amazement. The wings were as white as snow, but more white. The whitest white you have ever seen.
"The ponies are striking Los Angeles." The President of the United States said. "When there, there will be a pony. A green one. You, The Vice President of the United States, will see it when the U.S Bank Tower collapses. Run directly towards him. Ignore everyone and everything around you. Just run. And, the most important thing, believe that you will survive. Believe. I have to go. Father is waiting." And with that, he vanished with a blink of white light. Everyone just stared. Silence filled the room, and no one spoke a word. But after a few minutes of silence, someone spoke.
"Set coordination's to Los Angeles!"
Edge of Los Angeles, Present Time...
"We can't worry about that now!" Rainbow Dash yelled, "We have to defend and defeat! Let's do this!" A roar from the army of ponies, and they charged towards the oncoming army of humans. The armies collided, and started what history will come to know it as, the great war of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles, an hour later...
Princess Celestia, once again, smiled. Their work will not be in vain. Luna had powered up her magic, and was getting ready to evacuate the city. This day is perfect. The sun was setting. Nothing that was ever built, made, or created on planet earth will be how it is now. But better.
The Vice President of the United State's P.O.V...
I ran. I ran as fast as I could. I saw the princesses on top of the U.S Bank Tower. I saw they were going to blow this city to valley's and lakes and forests, and crystal clear air. And I would be vaporized. I had to get away. So yeah. I ran. I ran as fast as I could. The military brought me along, because of the... President angel... thing... But anyway, I turned a corner, attempting to get away, but I saw a green pony. He saw me. He ran towards me, his spear up and ready. I looked behind me, and there was the U.S Bank Tower. And it was falling down, on top of ME. Memories swamped me.
'When there, there will be a pony. A green one. You, The Vice President of the United States, will see it when the U.S Bank Tower collapses. Run directly towards him. Ignore everyone and everything around you. Just run. And, the most important thing, believe that you will survive. Believe. ' I believe.
I ran towards the pony. As fast as I could. The he was charging towards me. The rumble of the U.S Bank Tower behind me, my head was about to meet spear, but that's when it happened... The U.S Bank Tower fell on me and the pony. I could have sworn I was dead. But I wasn't. I just sat there. Terrified. But then I looked up. A window broke on the way down. It just so happens that since I ran towards the green pony, I was in the right position to go directly through that hole. I was probably the luckiest vice president ever. The luckiest man ever. I giggled, and then laughed. A huge laugh that made me fall to my knees. I wasn't dead. I wasn't dead! I looked to my right. The pony has a hoof sticking out from under the U.S Bank Tower. Ugh. He wasn't so lucky. Put then I noticed a document under his hoof. A blue document. I picked it up, and opened it from curiosity. A list of major cities worldwide. With New York City and Washington D.C checked off. Here, I'll show it to you...
TOP SECRET S.G.E (Secret Government of Equestria) INFORMATION!
Human Destruction: Cities Destroyed
Unites States:
New York City Washington D.C Los Angeles Seattle San Jo-
That's when I realized how important this was. I tucked it into it's folder, and put the folder in my suit. Now how do I get out of here?
"Hey! Mr. President, are you here?! Are you alive?!" The voice. The voice of my friend.
"Yes! I'm here!" I called.
"Thank god! I was the only one who thought you could still be alive." He said. "Watch out, I'm coming in!" There was an explosion, and the side burst off.
"Come on!" He said. "We have to get out of here!" I followed, and was surprised to find a helicopter right outside. "Jump in! We have to go!"
I followed him into the chopper, and put my seat belt on. He proceeded to push a lot of buttons, and murming things to himself. The rotors began to spin, and soon the helicopter was in the air.
"Hold on!" He said. "This might get bumpy!" A huge bang shook the the helicopter. It swerved back and forth until it finally stabilized.
"What was that?!" I said. My friend gulped.
"Look behind you." he said, with emotions mixed between frightened and sad. I did.
"Oh my god..." I said. A giant ball of white was expanding quickly, replacing everything it touched with natural things. Randy's Donuts shop was replaced with a doughnut shaped rock on a hill. And the Hollywood Sign was reduced to nothing more than a waterfall on a hill. I watched in shock as Los Angeles disappeared. I shut up quickly. After a few moments I slumped back to my seat.
"So that's it then." My friend finally said. "No more Los Angeles." A full minute of silence. 'The list.'
"I... think I found something that might... help us." I said. My friend's head turned over to me, but not taking his eyes of the deep blue sky we were flying in. A moment passed and he finally looked at me.
"What is it?" He asked with curiosity.
"I found a list of all the cities the ponies will destroy before they launch their spell to end the human race." I said.
"Holy cow!" He said. "This is perfect! We stand a chance after all... erm, but... what's next?"
I sighed deeply. This was not going to be good. I finally managed to speak.
"Seattle."
"Seattle?!" He asked, eyes wide. "B-b-but... m-m-my parents..."
"I know." I said comfortingly. "If we can't stop the ponies, we will rescue your parents. I swear, under all circumstances I will do everything in my power to save your parents."
He sighed and said, "Thank you."
"By the way, where are we going?" I asked.
"Back to Area 51. Give the people there this news. We now know what cities to arm and when." He said, flicking a switch. "We have to stop these ponies, before..." He gulped.
"What?" I asked.
"...Before the world turns into a giant oven." He finally said.
The ponies were headed for Seattle. The magic sphere continued moving along the coast of America. The sphere shown light across the land. Twilight Sparkle, along with Princess Luna looked outside. They both seemed depressed. Celestia noticed this.
"Princess, I forgot why we're doing this? Killing the humans, I mean. Killing isn't our nature, and although this IS for their own good, I..."
"Don't worry. The humans are evil, vile, cruel, greedy, petty, rude, and not to mention ugly species. They don't see the error of their ways now, but I assure you, they will. Their planet is polluted and unclean. After we save them, we will leave. This planet is horrible." Princess Celestia said. Princess Luna's ears perked.
She said that we will turn the New York City area into a new Manehatten, but if we leave how can we? Luna thought. But she kept the thought to herself.
Twilight was about to respond when the shimmering lights of Seattle rose into view. It distracted the ponies from Princess Celestia, and they all seemed impressed.
"Seriously though, why do the humans rip off our city names?! We had Los Pegasus, Manehatten, Hoofington P.C, Fillydelphia, Baltimare, Canterlot, Cloudsdale, and not to mention Vanhoover first!" Rainbow complained. But then a loud whistling noise spread throughout the land, and a loud bang was heard. The ponies saw a missile coming straight at them! Celestia immediately recognized it as the human nuclear bomb, Davy Crockett. It was the smallest nuclear bomb ever made, in terms of explosion mass. But before she could react, the bomb blew up on the side of the sphere. Celestia strained to keep the sphere from collapsing, but then the smoke cleared. They all had very minor 1st degree burns, but otherwise were fine.
"It really was the smallest atomic bomb ever made..." said Princess Celestia.
30 minutes later, on a nearby helicopter...
The Vice President of the Unites States looked out the front of the helicopter window. There was Seattle on the horizon, already being attacked. Smith Tower already collapsed, and many more to come. The Helicopter seemed to be going a lot faster than normal. It swerved left and right, and finally entered the city of Seattle.
"My parents live on a house on Freemont Avenue, where is it, Vice President?!" The Vice President of the Unites States friend, who's name was Josh, asked hastily. The Vice President of the Unites States opened a map and looked at it, the said,
"Take a left now, and when you hit the giant pile of rubble, turn left and keep going. You will know if you've gone too far if you hit the burning building and screams of terror." The Vice President of the Unites States said.
"NOW'S NOT THE TIME FOR JOKES!" Josh screamed.
"It's not a joke." said The Vice President of the Unites States.
"Oh."
The helicopter soon landed in the middle of Freemont Avenue. The second it landed the two jumped out and ran down the street until they found a house, the roof was caved in and all the windows were broken. The two ran inside. Josh slammed open the door, which broke off it's hinges as he did so.
"MOM, DAD, ARE YOU HERE?!" He called. He could hear the screams of everybody outside as he ventured into the ruined house. He turned into the kitchen and there was a man lying there.
"DAD!" Josh screamed.
"Josh?!" The man said.
"DAD!!" Josh hugged his dad so tight The Vice President of the Unites States thought that his ribs might explode. That's about the time when Josh's dad noticed The Vice President of the Unites States.
"Oh, um... who's this man?" Asked Josh's dad. Josh released his grip and walked over to The Vice President of the United States.
"This is my friend, The Vice President of the United States. You seriously didn't know we knew each other?" asked Josh.
"What? Oh, my gosh... Um, I'm not dressed for this occasion... Um..." Josh's dad said, sweating. The Vice President responded.
"Do you think any of us are?" He extended his hand. "Joe. Joe Biden." Josh's dad stared for a second, but then extended his hand and shook Joe's hand.
"Robert. Robert Davis." He said. Josh looked at his dad for a second, then looked around curiously.
"Um, where's Mom?" He asked.
"She went on a vacation to Las Vegas, thank goodness. She'll be safe." Robert said.
"Not for long." said The Vice President of the United States. "The ponies are attacking Las Vegas in a couple of days, and are probably transforming Seattle right now!" The Vice President looked very worried.
As if on cue, a giant bang was heard a while away. They jumped a little from the explosion, and could hear a silent sizzling sound coming closer and closer.
"Oh, shoot, we have to get out of here!" Josh screamed. "Come on!" He waved them out of the building. They looked over to their right to see a giant white sphere advancing closer and closer to them. It passed over the space needle, and was turned into nothing more than a mountain peak. They could hear hundreds of screams, soon turning into tens, soon turning into ones. Robert stopped in his tracks.
"God help us all..." He said, looking up at the orb of light.
"DAD, COME ON!" Josh screamed. He grabbed Robert's arm and pulled him into the helicopter. They strapped in and Josh began whispering to himself as he hit many buttons and levers.
"Hurry up, Josh! It's coming!" The Vice President said. Robert looked back.
"Soooon?" He said. "There's a giant sphere of light coming at us!" Robert said with a whimper.
"THANKS CAPTAIN OBVIOUS, But if we don't get out of here, that giant sphere of light will vaporize us! Hang on!" Josh yelled. He pulled back on the steering wheel, and the helicopter began to fly. To slowly made it's was to higher altitude before zooming off; the sphere in hot pursuit. Josh dodged many falling buildings as the sphere inched closer and closer to the helicopter to the point where it was just a few feet off. They all screamed as a building in front of them collapsed, causing loads of dust to float in front of them. They entered the cloud of dust, and burst out just as the sphere overtook Seattle. They were in the clear.
They all calmed down, their hearts slowly going down. Josh looked back. he then spoke.
"San Jose is burning! Reports have been going around that the ponies are the cause of this, having been the cause for all the other city destruct..."
Bzzz!
"Breaking News: The Golden Gate Bridge has collapsed! We have a shocking video of it collapsing here."
"...This is incredible, the blast of magic shot from Princess Twilight Sparkle has cracked the deck! Cars are falling off, cables are breaking, are you getting this, Daniel? Just... Oh my god, the support just gave way... The entire thing is falling into the bay! Oh my god, oh my..."
Bzzz!
"...It's gone! It's all gone! Every last bit of it is gone! Chicago is not existent! It's like it was never made! All those people... It's all gone! I..."
Bzzz!
"This is live from Boston! Buildings are collapsing, it's being destroyed! We..."
"AHHHHH!! LOOK BEHIND YOU, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!"
"Wha...? AHHHHHHH-Crhhhhh...
Beeeeeep.
The Vice President Of The United States shook his head. He couldn't just stand by an let his country suffer. But what could he do? The ponies had shields and magic, and all weapons we use on them they can overcome. Their magic powers give them an unfair advantage. It was impossible.
He got up from his chair and walked over to where a scientist was laying out plans on the computer.
"Well, Jefferson? Do we have the DNA potion?" The Vice President asked.
"Um, almost sir. This potion will transform the molecular structure of a human into a pony, in a sense, 'ponifie' a human." he said.
"So, how many people can we, 'ponifie', to infiltrate the Equestrian Army?" The Vice President asked. The scientist punched a bunch of numbers into the computer, and responded.
"Four."
"So we have four ponies who are actually humans, and I'll act as a prisoner." The Vice President said.
"Yes."
"Okay then, men. Let's do this!"
"Um, Joe?" Josh asked, with a tint of uncertainty in his voice. Joe Biden, A.K.A The Vice President of the United States turned around.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Is... there a cure, for ponification?" Josh asked. The Vice President was silent for a few minutes.
"No..." He said.
Josh sighed.
Oh well. He thought. At least I'll be doing something good for humanity...
Equestria, Canterlot gate, A few hours later, guard #127's P.O.V...
I stood and watched over the gate. We were protecting Equestria from those nasty humans, which made me smile, knowing that the Princess would put so much of her trust in me. As I stood by the gate, tense, knowing that the humans will attack eventually, I started sort of bouncing up and down. Standing still doing nothing for so long has made me anxious, and the suspense was killing me. My friend, Ocean Lotus, noticed this and gave me a stern look. I immediately fell back into my place. I let out a huge sigh and continued to keep watch.
"Somepony's coming!" I heard Ocean Lotus yell. I jolted my head up, and I then saw them. Four ponies, fully decked out in royal guard armour, came walking towards us with a... Ugh... Hoo-man... In toe. He was chained up and stripped of any possible weapons, thank goodness. I shivered at the sight of the human, put got back together by the time they reached us. They stopped, and a dark green pony with a orange mane nodded at me. He was the leader of the group. I only needed his name.
"Name?" I asked, trying to keep as calm as I could, put I could sense a tint of excitement in my voice. I was giddy with excitement that I could actually do something.
The dark pony hesitated for a bit. He turned his head away, trying to hide a worried look. He was up to something, I just didn't know what.
"Name?" I repeated, this time a little more harsh. He, again hesitated. He opened his mouth, put no words came out. A second later he finally gave me his name.
"G-green... Shadow." He said. I looked over to the light blue unicorn next to him, curious. He seemed surprised to see my gaze land on him, but he managed to talk quickly, at least.
"Sorry. He's a little shy." He said hastily. A little too hastily. They were hiding something. I know it.
"What's your reason to enter?" I asked. "Shouldn't you be on your way to Las Vegas right now?"
"I saw the red pony in the back flinch when I said that. He didn't want us to invade Las Vegas, but why? The light blue unicorn spoke.
"We have captured The Vice President of the United States, and have reason to believe he has important info." He said. Good enough reason for me. I looked over at Ocean Locus, and he nodded at me. We both used our magic and pulled down a big lever inside Canterlot, and the gate out front opened.
"Alright. Move along." I said. The group looked relieved. Even the captured human looked relieved, oddly enough. They entered Canterlot, and I and Ocean Locus closed the gates. They had a secret. I couldn't help but wonder what.
Inside Canterlot, Josh's P.O.V...
We made it! I sighed with relief. I looked down at my hooves. Being green was not really the best in human history, but apparently in ponyland here it's perfectly normal. Great. I still can't believe I cracked up back there. That goodness this scientist here was able to save us from being found out. Anyway, we walked a little bit, getting some weird looks from the ponies and guards around us, but anyone who was curious enough to come close, we simply said,
"This is a captured human with important info. Stay away. No more information can be granted. Orders of the Princess."
We got to around the center of the city, and went into a not populated area. We then took out a small chip, and placed it on the side of a house.
"Is it in place?" I asked the scientist to my right.
"Yes." He said. "Looks good. Sir, please hide beneath the covers." I watched as The Vice President hid beneath the covers we installed on the cart we were taking him in. We then walked out, and acted casual but serious. The ponies no longer gave us weird looks, thank goodness. We then got to the gates, and the guards out front gave us no hesitation to opening the doors, and we were free. We got a good way away from Canterlot before we boarded a hidden plane, which we hid in a cavern under a hill. We all jumped in the plane, and The Vice President had to drive, considering he was the only one to have hands. Within a second we were in the air, and away from Equestria. The ponies didn't see out plane, because we painted it blue. They must not have as good eyesight as humans, which is weird considering their eyes are bigger than us. Once we got out of the blast range, we fired up the intercom.
"General, this is flight 20343. We are ready for launch." The Vice President said. The General then hung up. I waited for a minute or two, and then I saw a blast of flame fly above my head.
"If you can't beat 'em, use the exact tactic their using against you against them." I said as I watched Canterlot turn into a fireball, turn into rubble. Canterlot was no more.
"...Equestria has been attacking, every major city they could lay their han.. Um, hooves on." A young, blonde news girl said, gesturing to the wonderful meadow behind her. "New York has been devasted by a atomic explosion, but by the time officials had arrived in the remains of New York, they were shocked to find that there was not a trace of radiation. But what shocked them the most was that not even scraps of burnt metal survived. All the trees were there, all the animals in Central Park Zoo were alive, it was almost if they erased all man-made things and replaced them with nature. They're suspicions were proved right as the ponies then attacked Washington D.C shortly after. We have a witness of the event here. Over to you, Hank." The screen moved right to show the face of a young man with brown hair. He seemed a little surprised that he was called. But he then spoke, with confidence.
"Thank you, Jill." He said. "While Jill was at New York, I'm here at where Washington D.C was. Tell me, what was it like, Mr...?" Hank then looked to his right, and the camera turned to face a old man.
"Johnson." He said. "It was terrifying, I tell you! The ponies were attempting to thank us by wiping out all the evil things in our world. Which apparently means our Culture, Cities, Countries, and even our species! I saw them destroying Washington D.C, wiping out the Washington Monument and such. I ran away as far as I could, but noticed The White House was untouched. I somehow managed to get a cab and smash through the line of ponies blocking the humans from escaping. Just as I did so, we started piling out like crazy. The pony guards somehow managed to contain the majority of us, but any who escaped they blasted with a spell that vaporized them. A loud bang came from behind me, and when I looked in the rear view mirror, I saw a white sphere expanding across the land! This was from memorial bridge. The sphere had an effect on the car. The sphere probably attempts to kill any and all technology within a certain distance. The car sputtered and stopped, and I had to run. Just as the sphere was about to get me, it stopped halfway in memorial bridge. I got off just as the bridge collapsed. The sphere only travels the city, thank god." He then looked back, seemingly looking at something that was no longer there. "I had a son in New York." He said, sniffling. The camera turned back to Hank, and he said.
"Well, that's your story! Back to you, Jill!" He said. The camera moved left and went back to Jill in former New York.
"Thanks, Hank. The ponies have also destroyed the following." A list flew upwards from the bottom of the screen, containing names of a couple major cities. These were, New York City, Washington D.C, Los Angeles, Seattle, San Jose, San Francisco, and Chicago.
"So anyone who has relatives in any of these cities, I'm sorry. The Vice President of the United States has also somehow managed to get a list of the cities the ponies will be striking, and when. We have marked off all the cities destroyed. Here is the list." Jill's face then faded from the screen, turning it into a pitch black. A list soon came from the top up, moving rather slowly.
TOP SECRET S.G.E (Secret Government of Equestria) INFORMATION!

FOR PRINCESS CELESTIA'S EYES ONLY!
The list then stopped, and as the last of it exited the screen from the top, the black screen turned back to the face of Jill. She moved her hair over her shoulder, and spoke.
"If you are in any of those cities, evacuate now! We somehow managed to kidnap a Equestrian guard, and he said that after we destroy the major cities, they will use a humongous barrier to wipe out the entire human race!" She continued her rambling. The Vice President of the United States watched and shook his head. He changed the channel, and once again changed it. He then found something that interested him.
"...Canterlot had been destroyed! Those nasty humans have blown a hole in the side of the Canterhorn mountain, causing Canterlot, or what was left of it, tumbling down into the river below. The huge river that runs through Saddle Lake carried the debris past Ponyville, through The Everfree, and past Los Pegasus before finally emptying out into the ocean! The citizens of Equestria were devastated! With their capital city destroyed, what will we do? Those nasty humans are so evil, I just want to... Ugh. They had NO reason at all to do this! What did we ever do to them?!"
Everyone watching this broadcast completely facepalmed.
"Now. let's get to the weather!" The pony said. "The pegasi are saying there will be a light shower at-" A second later, the broadcast was interrupted. It turned to black, with a bleorp. Everyone watching the broadcast in Area 51 looked behind. There was a scientist holding two wires, both flickering.
"Uh. Oops." He said, and plugged them back in. He looked at the TV, and being seemingly satisfied with the fact that the broadcast came back on, went back to work flicking levers and things.
The president turned his attention back to the television, and began flicking through a few more pony news channels. Although he thought that the idea of having them be allowed to use the technology dumb, considering what they have done. He was curious because our technology can not withstand magic. It stops working. Maybe they're magic is not as powerful in the land where it came from, and gets more powerful the farther away it goes? But they needed the pony news, they had no idea it was being surveyed from Area 51, as well as the rest of every channel. He soon came upon another PNC (Pony News Channel), that interested him.
"...Cess Celestia has put a force field around Equestria after the incident of Canterlot, being called 11/9, happened that vaporized anything and everything human that touched it. Nothing human made can pass through the barrier, or leave. She is coming back to Equestria as fast at she can, saying she will stop at Las Vegas on the way. We-" The Vice President turned off the TV immediately. He quickly stood up, and yelled.
"TO LAS VEGAS!"
The sudden sound and movement startled Josh, who fell of the couch and landed on his dad, Robert, who was sitting on the floor because there was no more room on the couch. Josh looked at The Vice President with a gaze in his eyes before blinking and nodding his head.
"Yes!" He yelled, throwing his fist in the air. The rest of the scientists soon joined in, yelling things such as, "Halleluiah!" and, "For America, for the world!".
Road To Las Vegas, 30 Minutes Later...
Princess Celestia smiled as she approached Las Vegas. She headed in the direction of Equestria as soon as she had heard what had happened, but decided to stop at Las Vegas along the way. There were snags and traps along the way, as the vile, cruel, rude humans have found out where she would be going, and when; making it pretty obvious which paths she would be taking. But her army became superior, and they managed to get past. As Las Vegas came into view, she noticed that all the lights were off, and there were no humans. At all. She frowned. If there were no humans, what was the point of destroying the city, anyway? But she kept the thought to herself. Luna frowned and looked at Celestia.
"Um... Where are the humans?" She asked. "They probably evacuated. They know we're coming." Celestia said. She soon glided past a oddly shaped sign, that read; Welcome to the Fabulous, Las Vegas. Nevada. The sun princess scrunched up her muzzle as she read it. What was so fabulous about Las Vegas? She shook her head free of these thoughts as she entered the city. Immediately the ponies began blasting buildings and leveling things, but within a few seconds they stopped. It was dead silent. The ponies looked around, confused.
A few minutes passed, and soon somepony accidentally pushed over a mailbox. It fell to the ground with a loud clang, breaking the silence. The ponies attention turned to the mailbox, but something in the shadows was frightened by it. A second later a human ran out from the shadows, yelling as he ran across the street. Everypony just watched him make his way across the street and into another building. Complete silence. Except for a voice that came from the shadow.
"Well, frick."
Then all havoc broke lose. Hundreds of humans burst out of the shadows, and some from buildings and such. The ponies attacked, and it became a proper invasion.
Josh's helicopter, 10 Minutes Later...
Josh's helicopter flew towards Las Vegas, and they could already hear the explosions. His breathing increased as he saw Las Vegas. He could already see the Eiffel Tower, but a green blast of magic was shot from a pony, which made the Eiffel Tower creak, and it soon started to tilt. It then gave way, metal bars ripping and tearing, before cracking off entirely and falling over. The top bit was catapulted forward, smashing right through the Belliago, which in turn crumbled in the center. Another blast knocked down the stratosphere, which then crashed down with a huge crack, splinter, and bang.
Las Vegas would not recover anytime soon.
Third Person P.O.V, Miami...
Twilight Sparkle flew down towards the ground, smiling. These humans will see the light after they got rid of these cities. Princess Celestia told her so. She blasted another building. Of course she was right. Princess Celestia never lies. She flew up and out, towards the dock. She soon flew up and landed on top of the Miami City Hall. A minute later Fluttershy joined and landed on Miami City Hall too. She turned her head towards Twilight and spoke.
"Are you sure these humans are really as evil as the Princess said they are?" She asked suddenly. Twilight seemed surprised at the sudden speech, but shook her head and spoke.
"Um..." There was silence. They both said nothing for a few minutes.
"Yes. The Princess would never lie to us. Especially not me." Twilight said. She sighed. Fluttershy knew she was not completely sure in what she just said. She looked out over Miami. It was originally beautiful, but it had to go. She knew that.
"The humans were originally nice..." Fluttershy said, looking over the ocean Miami was next to. "If they came to Equestria instead, we would likely attack them before they attack us. You know how protective we are over Equestria, since we live in a world with hundreds of monsters." There was again a little silence, if you didn't count the destruction and death around Miami.
"And yet when they met us, they eventually allowed us into our society. They didn't attack, even though they're world is full of evil." Fluttershy said, making a point. Twilight was silent. Fluttershy decided that she should wrap this up.
"They might not be as evil as we originally thought." Fluttershy said.
"No. They're evil and you know that." Twilight said. Fluttershy looked at Twilight for a moment. She then, hearing a klunk and hoofsteps behind her, got up and walked away, in the direction of the sound. She found Rainbow Dash, who wiped her forehead and spoke.
"Whew. That took a while. Who knew these humans could build buildings that strong?" Rainbow said. About that time Rainbow noticed Fluttershy.
"Hey, Flutters. What's upsetting Twilight?" Asked Rainbow, looking in the direction of Twilight.
"She's... just... Resting." Fluttershy finally said. Rainbow shot Fluttershy a questioning look, but seemed to accept the answer because she nodded her head. Her ears suddenly perked up as she heard a sound. She looked behind her to find a ladder propped up against the city hall. A second later an orange hoof popped up from the side. Apple Jack then came up the ladder, and reaching back and helping Rarity up after she got to the top.
"Hey, AJ!" yelled Rainbow. Apple Jack turned her head towards Rainbow, causing Rarity to slip. Applejack immediately twirled around, pulling Rarity up. Applejack sighed and turned towards Rainbow. She trotted up towards her and spoke.
"Yeah?" Apple Jack asked Rainbow.
"Just wanted to know what you've been up to." Rainbow asked. Applejack rolled her eyes.
"Yah sound a bit like mah parents..." She said.
"Em... I mean, uh... How do I pronounce this any differently?" Rainbow asked, with a confused expression.
"Ah... Nevahmind. Ah've been tryin' to knock down Miami Tower, but dah stubborn thing just wouldn' come down." Apple Jack said. "Although it did eventually crack right down dah side, and did topple over, it took a whole lat o' pony-power."
Rainbow looked off in the direction that Miami Tower was, and, indeed, it was gone.
"Cool." Rainbow said, flapping her wings and surveying the landscape where Miami Tower once was. But then she noticed that Pinkie Pie was not there. She looked around Miami in a 360... Nothing but destruction and screams.
"Ugh! Can't these people stop they're screaming?!" Rarity yelled. "I'm afraid they're screams will blow my hair right off this planet!" Rainbow ignored her, and continued to look around.
"Where's Pinkie?" She asked. Fluttershy flew up to Rainbow and shrugged. As if on cue, a deafening crack sprung through the air, nearly shattering the eardrums of the ponies. They looked to they're right, only to see a giant, blue colored, glass building collapse. It caved in on it's self, in a fashion much like 9/11 South Tower collapse. Before it came to about halfway down, before tipping over and crashing down, causing hundreds of pounds of dust and debris to fly into the air.
"FOUR SEASONS HOTEL MIAMI!" Twilight screamed, jumping back at the sudden collapse. A few seconds later Pinkie Pie jumped up on top of the Miami City Hall.
"HIYA! Did I do a good job?!?! huh huh huh?!" She said at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour.
"GAAH!" Twilight yelled, flying backwards and crashing into Fluttershy. "Where did you come from?!"
Pinkie only giggled. "From Four Seasons Miami Hotel, silly!" Pinkie said, grinning. Twilight didn't question it and got off Fluttershy. She shook her head and spoke.
"Okaaaaay, anyway..." Twilight began. "Is everything cleared?" Twilight received many nods, but Pinkie's nod made Twilight think that her head was going to detach from her body.
"Yepero, Twilight! It's as clean as a hounds tooth!" Apple Jack said, looking at the now flat-ish Miami.
"Alright, good." Twilight said. She then began to use her magic, her horn glowed and sparks flew off, before a beam of purple light stretched across Miami. All the ponies disappeared.
"Start the sequence!" She yelled. The element bearers put on they're elements, and Twilight's horn glowed.
"Are you sure this will work?" Asked Rainbow. "The Princess's needed our power to activate the spell last time... What about now?"
Twilight ignored Rainbow. Well, for the most part. "Don't discourage me." Twilight said. "We can do this!" she smiled. They all closed their eyes, and a beam of light went between element to element. They opened their eyes, filled with white power. But right when they thought that they would succeed, somebody climbed up the ladder. A human. He lunged at them.
"NOOOOOOO!" he screamed. He smashed into Apple Jack, which knocked her out of the circle. The beam faded, and Twilight's magic went haywire. A huge explosion occurred, completely demolishing Miami City Hall. As the dust cloud cleared, Twilight opened her eyes. She could just about make out the silhouette of a human in the dirt. Twilight was angry.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" She screamed. The human looked a little surprised, but remained calm and, as he got up out of the rubble, spoke.
"The President." He said. "Of the United States."
Las Vegas, Present Time...
Josh, The Vice President, and Robert scurried across the grounds of Las Vegas, they charged down into the Bellagio, a famous hotel in Las Vegas. Josh looked at the tip of the Eiffel Tower through it and shook his head. As they entered the building, and charged down the luxurious halls, Josh was screaming.
"WHICH ROOM IS SHE IN?!" He yelled.
"ROOM 56, TOP FLOOR!" Robert yelled back.
"HOLY- THAT'S WHERE THE TIP OF THE EIFFEL TOWER IS!" Josh yelled again, running up the fleets of stairs, fighting against the hundreds of people coming down. He could barely hear him from the screams of people, and explosions outside. They kept running up until they reached the top floor. The carpet was scorched, and flower pots were smashed. They ran down the halls, checking on the rooms.
"52... 54... 56!" Yelled Josh. "SHE'S IN HERE!" Robert and Josh charged into the room, only to be met with a broken window, and the tip of the Eiffel Tower. They looked around.
"CHLOE?!" Yelled Robert, checking the closets. "MOM?!" Yelled Josh. He heard sobbing coming from the bathroom. But it soon stopped.
"R-robert, JOSH?!" Chloe, aka Josh's mom, yelled. She flew out of the bathroom.
"MOM!" yelled Josh, hugging her. Robert soon followed. The Vice President watched.
"Um, sorry to interrupt, but shouldn't we get out of here?" Asked The Vice President.
"Oh, um... Yes. Escaping and not dying." Josh said. "Mom, follow me!" He yelled. The four ran down the hallway, but before they reached the stairs, a giant explosion came from the hallway wall, that knocked everyone to their feet. A unicorn, being lifted by a unicorn was there. They noticed the humans, and the Pegasus threw the unicorn into the Ballagio. The Pegasus soon followed.
"OH-" yelled Josh, but was cut off by the Unicorn.
"YOU EVIL HUMANS! WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELVES?!" She yelled. "How can you live in such a polluted world?! DO YOU EVEN CARE?!" The unicorn, now confirmed to be blue, shot a blast of magic at the humans. They all scrambled to get up, and started running towards the stairs. But the Pegasus charged forwards and slammed into Robert, pinning him down. Chloe then responded by shrieking and kicking the Pegasus in the head, who was launched off Robert. Robert took the opportunity to escape. Meanwhile, Josh was dodging blasts of magic from the unicorn. He jump up and a blast of magic fried the carpet and wood beneath him. Josh the lunged for the stairs, but the Pegasus smashed into him, sending him flying backwards towards The Vice President. They collided, and the Pegasus pinned them both down. The unicorn then shot a burst if magic at Josh, but Josh moved suddenly and the magic fried the Pegasus's hoof. The Pegasus yelped, and pulled his hoof back, giving Josh the perfect opportunity to uppercut the Pegasus. He did so, sending the Pegasus flying into the Unicorn.
"JOSH, COME ON!" Yelled Robert, from the stairs. Josh and The Vice President charged towards the stairs, and the four escaped. Or so they thought. When the four reached the bottom, The Pegasus smashed into The Vice President. The unicorn not far behind. The Unicorn aimed his horn at The Vice President.
"Goodnight, filthy creature!" She said. But then a blast of black light sliced across the sky, causing the ponies to disappear. Josh was the first one to speak.
"That was too close for comfort." Said The Vice President.
"I'll say!" Said Robert. Chloe was silent up until now.
"WHY ARE THESE PONIES DOING THIS?!" She screamed.
"Because they think we're evil, and think that the best thing to do is kill us. Like killing the person in pain." Robert said.
"Oh." said Chloe, looking towards the exit. "Shouldn't we be going?"
"Oh yeah!" Said Josh. "Escaping! Follow me!" The four charged out into the ruined Las Vegas, passing the snapped Eiffel Tower. They ran past many humans, all freaking out because they knew what was going to happen. The ponies were gone, and the Princess's were on top of the Ballagio, meaning that they were going to summon a death sphere, as we were calling it.
"Oh shoot! They're on the Ballagio?!" Josh screamed. "WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE! WE'RE RIGHT NEXT TO THE STARTING POINT!"
The four soon got to Josh's helicopter, but there was someone in it trying to get it to work.
"HEY! THAT'S MY HELICOPTER!" Josh yelled. The guy inside looked surprised and scared to see the owner of the helicopter, so they jumped out and ran away.
"HEY, NO! YOU CAN COME WITH US! YOU'LL DIE OTHERWISE!" Josh yelled after them. But they were out of earshot. The four jumped in the helicopter, The Vice President of the United States in the front, Josh in the drivers seat, and his family in the back.
"Well those guys are screwed." He said. Josh flicked a few levers, and started mumbling.
"I didn't know you could fly a helicopter, Josh!" said Chloe.
"WELL YOU KNOW IT NOW!" Josh said, as the helicopter flew in the sky. "Strap yourselves in!" A huge bang was heard, and a white ball completely devoured the Ballagio, and began to devour the model of the Eiffel Tower. The helicopter flew away. The sphere was already at it's tail when it came to it's max speed. The sphere came closer, and closer, before sizzling away at the tail. Everyone screamed as the rear propeller was destroyed, sending the helicopter into a tailspin. The helicopter crashed landed, with a crack and a crash, it rolled past the sign that read, Welcome to the Fabulous, Las Vegas. Nevada.
Josh immediately looked out from the wreckage. The Sphere devoured the sign, but nothing past it. Josh sighed. He had made it! But a sudden realization came upon him.
"MOM?! DAD?! JOE?!" He screamed. His dad's moans gave away his location, and Chloe was fine.
"I'm okay, son..." Said Robert, getting out of the wreckage. Chloe soon followed. But no Joe.
"Where's Joe?!" Josh yelled. He looked around. But then Joe popped out of the wreckage.
"I'm okay." He said. "But how are we going to get back to Area 51?!" Josh looked around.
"It's not far from here at all. Only a mile or two." Josh said. "You should know that." Joe blushed.
"Oh, right..." Joe looked in the direction of Area 51. "Better get walking then, I suppose."
Miami, 15 Minutes Earlier...
Twilight Sparkle was stunned. Right before her, in the dust, was The President of the United States. She saw him die! How could he be here?! Twilight reacted the same way anypony would.
"H-how?! HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?!" She screamed. The President of the United States didn't respond. Just looked back. "I SAW YOU DIE!" Twilight yelled.
"Watch. There's more." He said. More dust cleared, and The Prime Minister of Canada stood before her. More dust cleared, and The President of Mexico.
Twilight couldn't talk. She was speechless. How could they be here?! They died in the helicopter! Twilight searched her mind for answers, but couldn't find any. Then The President of the United States grinned. Twilight then realized something.
"H-how many m-more are there?" She asked. The dust completely cleared, revealing the leaders of Brazil, Chile, Australia, China, Russia, France, Italy, Great Britain, India, Japan, Philippines, Germany, Pakistan, Spain, Greece, South Korea, North Korea, Egypt, South Africa, among dozens of others. Twilight was shocked at all of the world leaders. They all died in the crash, so how did they...?
"Do not speak." The Prime Minister of Japan said.
"We have news for you." The Prime Minister of India said.
"And this news if very important..." The President of China said.
"...So listen carefully. The Prime Minister of Great Britain finished. Twilight was shocked at how they seemed to be communicating through their thoughts. It was a mind link. Impossible.
The President of the United States took a step up.
"You are killing us because we have wars, say bad words, and such?" The President asked. Twilight nodded her head.
"Killing us makes us better. Right?" The Prime Minister of Canada said. Twilight again nodded.
"Yes. Heaven is a better place. Way better then this crummy old planet." Twilight said. "Humans are evil, cruel, vile, rude, petty, ugly, big, mean, selfish, greedy, and like to fight and kill their fellow man." Twilight finished, satisfied that she got everything out. It was all true. Right? The President of the United States stared at Twilight.
"Let me analysis that." He said. Twilight was confused what he meant, but followed along. "Let's start at the first one. Evil." He said. The President of the United States looked towards the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, or Great Britain. He responded.
"Yes. Evil. Technically, evil counts for everything." He said. Twilight looked at him, and nodded.
"Well... Yes. I guess it does." She said. The President nodded.
"Now, the next one. Cruel." The President said. He looked towards Spain. The leader of Spain responded rather casually.
"The definition of cruel: Willfully causing pain or suffering to others, and feeling no concern about it." He said, looking at Twilight. "Is that how you define humans?" The leader of Spain asked. Twilight nodded.
"Yes. Humans are like that." She said.
"Now... Another word for cruel is inhuman. As in, not human. If humans were cruel, then that word wouldn't exist." The leader of Spain responded. Twilight was surprised, but wouldn't let it go.
"No. Humans are cruel, and won't admit it. That's the logical explanation of that word." She said. The leader of Spain nodded.
"What about you. You fought a group of ponies called Changelings, did you not?" The leader of Spain said. Twilight looked at the leader of Spain worryingly. Then spoke.
"...Yes... So?" She responded, trying to sound casual.
"They were hurt when you defeated them. Lots of them were hurt. Did you show any concern for them?" The leader of Spain responded. Twilight's eyes widened.
"Um... No... But..." She stammered.
"You and all the ponies in Equestria did the exact same thing that the definition of cruel says is cruel." The leader of Spain said. "I can admit that some humans are cruel for no reason, but I am sure some ponies are cruel for no reason too. The only way most humans are cruel, are when they are fighting for freedom and justice in a war." The leader of Spain smirked. Twilight looked for words, but could not find any. She sighed.
"Okay. So ponies are just as cruel as humans some times... and humans fight for the right reason's... but there is still the rest. You haven't proven anything yet." Twilight said.
"Not yet..." The President of the United States said. "But soon." He nodded at the leader of Brazil, who took a step up.
"The next one..." The leader of Brazil said. "Vile." The leader of Brazil cleared her throat, and then spoke. "Extremely unpleasent. That is the definition of vile." Twilight nodded,
"How?" The leader of Brazil asked.
"Huh? Pardon?" Twilight asked.
"How? How are humans unpleasent?" She asked. Twilight thought for a minute.
"They're annoying... Um... They have very short attention spans..." Twilight realized she couldn't come up with anything.
"Annoying. Some are and some aren't. Don't tell me you've never annoyed anypony, or been annoyed yourself." The leader of Brazil said, wrapping up.
"Well... Okay. Some ponies can be annoying and be annoyed..." She admitted.
"And the short attention spans? Some humans have short attention spans. Some have long ones." She said. "That doesn't make humans any less pure or evil."
"But every human I've ever met has left or gotten distracted by something every time I speak!" Twilight responded. The leader of Brazil looked at The President of the United States, and shrugged.
"I'm going to pass that one over." She said.
"Alright. Humans are not vile. Next one. Petty." The President of the United States said. Twilight nodded her head.
"I guess humans are not vile... But they are Petty!" Twilight yelled. The President of the United States nodded towards the leader of China, who stepped forward.
"The definition of Petty is insignificant. Unimportant." The leader of China said. "Now think about the size of our planet. Thousands of miles across. Now compare it to the sun. One million of our planets could fit into the sun.
Now, the largest known sun is VY Canis Majoris. Around two million of our suns could fit into that.
Now compare that to the milky way galaxy.
Now compare that to the largest known galaxy.
And think that there is at LEAST one hundred billion galaxy's of that size, each billions of light years away from each other, in the observable universe." The leader of Brazil gasped for breath. "And compare that to the entire universe."
The leader of Brazil took a deep breath.
"I would think our species are both an insignificant speck compared to the universe."
Twilight sparkle's eyes widen to the size of dinner plates. What a big universe. She gasped and looked down.
"SO WE'RE ALL PETTY. SO WHAT!?" She screamed. The President of the United States shook his head.
"Next. Ugly. Do you think slugs are ugly?" The President of the United States asked.
"Yes." Twilight responded.
"What do you think slugs think of you?" The President of the United States asked.
"They would think we're ugly because we're different." Twilight responded.
"Yes. Different opinions. So humans are not ugly. And ugly doesn't give you a reason to attack." The President of the United States said. He nodded towards the leader of Russia, who stepped up.
"Next. Big." The leader of Russia said. Nobody said a word after that.
"Seriously?" Said The President of the United States, face palming. Twilight blushed.
"It just comes up when your ranting..." Said Twilight.
"Believe me, I know." Said the leader of Russia.
"Next. Mean." Said the leader of Russia. He shook his head.
"Mean is the same as greedy, which is the same as selfish." He said.
"Humans are not mean. We didn't attack when you came here, while you would've." The President of the United States took over. "We're not greedy because we gave you power. The definition of greedy is wanting money or power. We gave you power. We gave you trust. Face it. We're not evil. Your princess has been lying to you." The President of the United States said. Twilight looked at them, and then down at the ground.
"No... NO... NOOOO!" She screamed. "YOU KNOW HUMANS ARE EVIL, BUT YOU'RE TOO AFRAID TO ADMIT IT! YOU'RE DEAD!" She blasted the humans with her magic. "YOU... YOU..." She stopped yelling. Sighing, she sat down.
"H-how are you alive...?" She asked, breathing heavily. They were silent. Then white wings sprung off from the backs of all the world leaders.
"We aren't." He said, before disappearing, leaving nothing but dust. Twilight didn't say a word. Her screaming must've woken up the rest of the mane six, because a shuffling sound came from beneath some rubble. How did she forget about them? She raced to where the sound was coming from, but Rainbow burst out before she could get there.
"Ugh... where... what happened?" She asked, looking around at the ruined Miami City Hall. A second later Apple Jack jumped up from a fallen over stack of chairs.
"W-what happened?" She asked. Fluttershy and Rarity came into view. But where was Pinkie?
"HI TWILIGHT!" Pinkie Pie yelled from behind Twilight. Twilight didn't even flinch, and casually looked around.
"Thank goodness your all safe!" She said. Then Rainbow looked at Twilight weirdly.
"Why didn't you react to Pinkie...? She always scares you." Rainbow said, moving her head. Twilight just rolled her eyes.
"I... Have seen crazier things." She said. Before anypony could respond, Twilight spoke. "I am glad to inform you that the human that attacked us was incinerated in the blast." she said proudly. Everypony nodded. But before they could say anything else, a few dozen human police, all armed with guns burst in. They saw the ponies and pointed the guns at them.
"HAND-Er-HOOVES UP, PONIES!" The leader of the team barked. "YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!" Rainbow flew into the air.
"NOT ON MY WATCH!" She said, charging towards the first guard. Before he could get a shot in, Rainbow collided with the leader, knocking him to the ground. She already lunged for another guard before the rest of the police team began shooting at her.
"RAINBOW!" Twilight yelled. But then a shot got fired, which clipped Rainbow's left wing. She tumbled on to the ground, and immediately the human police team jumped on her, pinning her to the ground, and putting special wing-cuffs around her wings.
"OW!" Rainbow yelled. While the team of police hoof-cuffed her, the rest of the mane six were being threatened with guns.
"If you know what's good for you, you will come along quietly." He said. Before the mane six could respond, they were jumped on and hoof-cuffed.
"EEP! Why, you... Scoundrels! Un-hoof my this instant!" Rarity yelled. A specially designed horn-cuff was put on Twilight and Rarity's head.
"Hey!" Yelled Twilight. She attempted to use her magic, but to no avail. They were all hoof-cuffed. There was no escape.
"You will be going to a special prison. We called it the 16-Max Pony Prison. Located in mid Texas. Good luck escaping, evil ponies." The human guard hissed. The ponies growled. But they were took and put into a special helicopter to be flown from Miami to a 16-Max Pony Prison. Whatever it was. They had began construction about two months after the ponies invaded. They were located all over the world. One in central Texas, United States; one in north-west Ontario, Canada; one in central Brasilia, Brazil; one located in north Chubuj, Argentina; one in South-Centre, France; one located in north Novaya Zemlya, Russia; one in north Hokkadio, Japan; one in west Egypt; one in central Madhya Pradesh, India; one located smack right in Cape Town; and one in north South Australia.
These prisons were specially designed to hold even Princess Celestia, in case the ponies would turn against the humans. The walls were made with five feet of solid iron, coated with an extra two feet of Kevlar. Each cell was painted with a very special inexpensive gold paste, the only known material to be immune to any and all magic. It was a small room with noting but a immovable Kevlar, gold-coated bed, desk, and small circle seat. The prisoners never came out of they're cells. It was fully equipped with a shower, that only lasted for fifteen minutes before it shut off automatically. The toilet, sink, and drinking fountain were made with the same-ish system. There was three reinforced sliding doors to block the exit, each fully equipped with lock pads impossible to hack. There were fifty of these rooms, all guarded with security cameras of all kinds. There was two guards per room, all wearing exo-skeleton suits, funny equipped with stun-guns, mechanisms that takes the wearers power, and multiplies it by twenty. They can run twenty time faster, too. The first area of the prison was the rooms. They were in a circle area, meaning if a door opens, every guard will be able to see it easily. The only way out is to call a special elevator, which scans your face, finger, foot, eye, and needs a special key-card to be operated. Other wise it will set off an alarm. The area was in the very center of the complex, completely guarded with magic-breaking machines that killed all magic. Not to mention everything was coated with Kevlar and the gold paste. It was all guarded by endless security systems, and to top it all off, it was surrounded by helicopters. The impossible prisons, they called them. Beats the ADX Florence prison by a mile.
There would be no easy escape for the ponies anytime soon.
