London Monitor in Equestria 
____________________________

Leutenant Kessler was overlooking the once under construction parking lot, now in ruins with a 200ton mech lying in the middle of it. 

"This is going to be a long day" he said to himself as he made his way to the elevator to proceed to the once proud London Monitor. As he stepped outside the lying hunk of metal seemed to grow larger with every step he made. Kessler made his way around the Behemoth he still noticed the launch pods for the Heavy Robots still intact. He approached it to check for any sign of damage, sure enough the pods have have remained undamaged (how?) and the mechs inside are still combat ready.

"Why the fuck did this bucket of bolts not launch the Heavy Robots?" Still looking at the pods.

"It would have changed the tide of battle instantly" shaking his head and looked at its back generators

"and this is how it ends up...months not years of work and this happens...just great" throwing his hands up in the air. 

Suddenly a blue flame engulfed the behemoth covering it with blue fire, shocked at what he was looking at Kessler immediately contacted the fire crews in the London Nautica about the situation.

"Fire crew 76 I have a huge fire report! Repeat a huge fire Report! The London Monitor Is in Flames! i repeat in Flames!" He yelled through comset. 

He quickly moved away from the fire as it was quickly spreading, he soon realized something. He looked down at his feet and saw in horror that his boots were on fire an spreading to his pants and soon his great coat and then the rest of his body. Kessler immediately dropped to the ground and began rolling to stop the fire but to no avail he screamed for help but no one answered. 

"So this is how I die?" He thought, "being burnt to death...not so much of a happy ending then is it" he mused and stifled a laugh, after that everything wen't black.

Equestria: Canterlot

Celestia felt a great disturbance, like a powerful summoning spell had been used. One that hasn't been used in centuries, in fact this spell dates back when they were first entrusted with the power to control the sun and moon. It came from Stars Swirl the bearded himself and only Celestia and Luna knew of it.

"This is bad"she thought
"Who could use such power to summon something? And where did he/she summon it from?" Celestia pondered at the idea before retiring to her chambers she had alot of thinking to do.

"It was worth a try" said Luna in a sad tone. 

She wanted to summon a warrior from another world to help settle the conflict with the griffons if ever Equestria wen't to war with the Griffon Empire, and it just so happens that the Griffon King wants Land from Equestria because they want the gold mines and rich resource fields That Equestria currently possess.

"Even trade talk has failed for both sides," Luna sighed and wen't back to her chambers to continue with her night court.

Kessler awoke with a start, he scanned his surroundings to check where he was. Unfortunately he was not back at London Nautica headquarters but rather in the middle of an open field. 

"Where am I?" He asked no one in particular until a familiar german voice spoke up .

"welcome back to the land of the living Leutenant Kessler".

Kessler spun around and standing in front of him at 80 meters tall was none other than the London Monitor, still fully operational, like the battle between Bj and the Behemoth never happened and it still had its paint still intact not even a scratch like brand new, straight out of the factory.

"How are you still operational? And where are we?" Asked Kessler.

"I am also in confusion Leutenant, my scans have shown we are not earth anymore but rather in another place".

"What do you mean by that?".

"This place seems untouched by war and is mostly peaceful and it is not shown on any map in my databases," it replied.

"So you mean to say were stuck in a different world" Kessler asked.

"Correct sir" it replied in a monotone voice.

Kessler believed he has truly died, not only that the London Monitor is now talking and walking like nothing ever happened but he is also stuck with it.

"Are there any life forms on this planet," Kessler asked.

"There are a large amount of species on this planet but some of them seem to be out of place like a snake like creature with multiple heads"

"What the fuck?!" Kessler blurtes out. "Are you kidding me?!".

"100% not kidding you" it replied.

Kessler buries his head in his hands. He needed time to process all of this, that is until it started to become cold. He shuddered at he cold breeze even though he was wearing a trench coat. Noticing this the London Monitor opened a hatch and dropped a ladder down. 

"Leutenant Kessler temperatures are starting to drop please proceed inside my body for warmth"

Taking this oppurtunity Kessler grabbed the ladder and began climbing his way to the top, upon reaching the top a hatch opened at the rear with another set of ladders leading down. As he proceeded to the hatch he looked at his surroundings, a lush of green extended as far as the eye could see. 

"Sir are you coming in?" It asked.

"On my way," Before grabbing the ladder and going straight down.

As he entered the dark area the hatch above closed and a door opened at his front. Kessler made his way through the door and into what it seems to be a command console. In front of him were there separate monitors each displaying different views of the outside world. Beneath it was a set of buttons and controls and other dials some had displays for gauges and others were just blank, there was even a standard office chair that he could sit on and monitor everything.

"Some place you have here" Kessler commented, in truth this place was much better than his office, it was also warmer in here.

"Glad you like it Commander," It replied this time in a softer tone.

"Can anyone here us outside?"

"No I have switched to inside speakers sir"

"Oh...just asking"

With that Kessler drifted of to sleep inside the giant fortress.

"Guess Ill keep watch then," it said to itself as the night wen't on.

> Chapter 1
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kessler awoke to the sound of alarms and sirens blaring in the cockpit non-stop.

"What the fuck is going on?" yelled Kessler.

"Sir I have Detected a Life-form approaching my haul" it replied.

"Put it up on the screen" commanded Kessler.

"Putting it up now" it replied.

The next few moments was confusing and unbelievable in the eyes of Kessler. What he saw was something out of a child's imagination yet seemingly ill-twisted. The beast that he saw through the screen was a humongous bear with purple skin/fur and stars scattered all over its body and has transparent looking skin with fangs bearing from it upper jaw. Kessler rubbed his eyes in disbelief, thinking he was still dreaming or he took some sort of drug, but he disregarded that thought when he realized he was standing inside the London Monitor.

"Monitor what am i looking at?" Kessler asked.

"It seems to be some sort of bear sir" it replied.

"I can see that...but where the hell did it come from?" said Kessler.

"It seems I may have Stepped on its child while I was busy roaming the area earlier on while you were sleeping" it replied.

"WOW!!!,"-Kessler smacked his forehead-"Not only have we started a fight with an unknown creature but we also killed an innocent bystander! Fuck my Life!" he yelled.

"I am not programmed to handle innocents and bystanders" it said. " Those who get in my way will just die without second thoughts whether it be an ally or enemy or civilian, my mission comes first, protecting the Reich and London"

"Well get this Monitor, One! I am here which makes it your job to protect me. And  Two we are not in London anymore! So you don't have to continue your mission protecting London! And as your superior officer you are now under my directive and will only respond to me UNDERSTOOD!" yelled Kessler.

"Affirmative" was all the Monitor said.

"Good now lets get back to-ACK?!" 

*RAAAR* the bear roared as it attacked the London Monitor and sent it stumbling back.

"Fucking hell, what was that!" Kessler asked in a demanding tone.

"The bear like creature has engaged us" the Monitor replied.

"Screw it! , it wanted a fight, then let it taste the full power of the Reich!" Kessler said in a more aggressive tone.

"What do you suggest I do Leutenant?" the Monitor asked.

"Listen here Herr Monitor I'm going to start calling you Herr Monitor from now on, but moving on, from now on if ever we are engaged by creatures whether it be monsters to dragons to unicorns or whatever, you are hereby authorized to use full force and even the laser beam in any situation when we are engaged by any hostile force, if worst comes to worst you have permission to use the super beam, GOT IT?!" yelled Kessler who was looking at the Monitors inside camera.

"Understood Leutenant" it replied this time in a more serious tone.

"Good! Well get to it!" commanded Kessler.

The next few moments were described as hell on earth, the London Monitor, now authorized to use any kind of force against its targets opened its dual tri-barrel rocket launchers and fired a full volley at the Ursa Major (which they didn't know the name at that time) which resulted in it collapsing to the floor with burns all over its body but it still wasn't enough to put it down.

"This is one tough bastard" said Kessler before barking an order to fire another volley.

The moment Kessler said the order for another volley, the London Monitor fired opened the hatches to its rocket launchers again and unleashed hell. The Ursa Major who saw this attack coming again, braced for impact this time but was futile due to the damage it took earlier on, which resulted in it flying back to the ground. The Ursa Major who was angrier than ever, got back up and charged at the metal beast and planted a punch on the beast as a final act of defiance, but to its surprise its hands reared back in pain due to its hard like shell.

"Mein Gott! That was a hard punch, damage report?" asked Kessler.

"No Damage sir just a scratch on the paint" it replied.

"Good, continue assault" said Kessler.

With that the London Monitor began charging up its main Laser Canon, its target, the Ursa Major. The loud hum of the Laser Canon turned the Ursa Major's attention to its eye which seemed to glow red by every second,  soon the red light illuminated the spot where the Ursa Major was standing in, covering it with bright crimson red. The next moment the whole forest shook with a thunderous roar that could be hear from miles away, followed by a huge shock wave that extended for God/Celestia knows long (Ponyville is bound to be effected). This came from the London Monitor unleashing its Laser Canon on the Ursa Major, but since the Laser was charged up far longer than the average power output, the blast wave created a crater extending 1 km long/wide, killing all known life within the vicinity and potentially throwing debris in every direction for the next few kilometers.

"WOOOHOOO!! DAMN HERR MONITOR THAT WAS ONE HELL OF A SHOT!" exclaimed Kessler staring at the screen and examining the crater that was created by the Laser Canon.

"Yes sir" it replied in a boring tone.

"Come on, lighten up a bit" said Kessler cheerfully.

"I am not programmed to be happy nor joyful, I am programmed to kill and destroy anything that my superiors tell me to do" The Monitor replied.

"Well you are a robot after all, killing is your specialty" mused Kessler.

"I was built for destruction, nothing else" The Monitor replied.

"Oh well, lets get the hell out of here before anyone else shows up, or if anybody else lives on this rock anyway" said Kessler.

Obediently the London Monitor Started moving a random direction, trampling all sorts of helpless creatures that stood in its path, but little did they know they were heading towards Changeling territory.

Kesslers "short Backstory":

Born in Berlin on august 8 1937, William von Kessler lead an interesting life as he grew up through the ages. However things changed soon for Kessler when WW2 was declared and Nazi Germany was on the winning side, his father was a blacksmith and his mother was a nurse, when war broke out, his father decided to enlist in the German Army to fight for the father land and bring peace to neighboring factions. When Kessler turned 13 the war was over for them, America was the only last standing enemy left and its Allies were already surrendering long before the German war machines could land on their shores. Meanwhile Kessler's father retired from the military when the fighting reached America an saw fit that he wasn't needed anymore. Kessler's family moved to Britain in 1951 and stayed in London to start a new life. That all came to an abrupt halt when the London riots were made, and the rebels among them started targeting ex-soldiers/officers that lived in London. While Kessler was waiting for the bus with his parents, a riot broke out around the corner and was killing all known German families in sight. Quickly thinking, Kessler's father picked him up and hid him in an in an alley way where no one could find him. As soon as Kessler was placed behind the bin his father said to him.

"Now then William I need you to stay here and hide while daddy goes and gets mommy alright?"

Kessler nodded at his fathers request.

"Good boy,"-pats Kessler's head-"its not safe now, whatever you do don't leave this place, got it?" said his Father


Kessler could only nod again. This time his father was holding back tears and gave the boy a final hug before letting him go and went back the way he came. Kessler wanted to follow, but his dad said not to move from his spot. He sat there for the next few seconds, but curiosity got the better of him and he moved out of his spot and walked to the corner to take a peek. What Kessler saw next would haunt him forever, he saw his mother on her knees and his father too as they were lined up in a single horizontal line, what came next was a series of gun shots and screams. Kessler watched as his mother and father's body were riddled with bullet holes, before he could think Kessler made a dash for his parents and started yelling "MAMA!!, PAPA!!" Before stopping at the corpse of his dead parents and kneeling down to touch only to find no response as his father's eyes looked at him with no life.

Kessler started crying, he wanted to run away, but where to exactly? He knew barely anyone in London and its only been a few weeks. Kessler looked at the ground ready to accept whatever fate lies in front of him. That's when he dropped to the floor as gunfire erupted all around him. He could here screams of the dying, he looked up and saw a rebel gaping his stomach, trying to stop his insides from pouring out but to no avail as they came out the other side and landed in a pile of blood.

Kessler looked to his left and saw a man's head explode splattering blood everywhere and spreading to his face. He looked in front and saw a man approaching him but before he could touch Kessler he was quickly silenced by a bullet to the head.

Kessler noticed the gun fire had died down and all was silent, until he turned around and faced a German soldier who looked down at him.

"Bist du ein wenig weh tun?" The soldier asked. (Are you hurt little one?)

"Mama und Papa sind tot, was soll ich jetzt tun?" Said Kessler as he broke down into tears. (Mama and Papa are dead, what do I do now?)

The German soldier who took pity on the kid picked him up and brought him to his commanding officer.

"Captain Johans, ich habe ein Kind, dessen Eltern wurden in der Rebellion schießen, ich weiß nicht, was mit ihm zu tun gefangen gefunden" he said in a concerned tone.

Captain Johans von Holker who looked at the kid and back at the soldier then back to the kid. He wanted to help the kid since his parents died at the hands of these animals but couldn't think of any solution until an Idea crossed his mind, "adopt the kid," he thought, maybe it might work out well.

"Say little one what is your name?" Johanns asked the child.

Kessler replied in a croaky voice "William von Kessler sir"

"Oh what a nice name you have there William" Johans replied in a cheery voice.

"I'm Captain Johanns or also know as, Johanns von Holker" said the Captain.

"Say William, you want to come and live in my place for a bit?" Asked the Captain.

Kessler who looked up at the captain with a curios look and thought to himself "can I trust him? I mean papa told me not to go with strangers but papa's dead, what would he do In a time like this?"

Kessler thought for a long time about the offer until he finally gave  in and accepted it. With that, his life took a new course of action. Kessler joined the Nazi army at the age of 17 and vowed to bring peace to this world whenever chaos rose, he did not want the same events to happen to others that happened to him 5 years ago.

Kessler rose through the ranks quickly and was deployed on American soil in 1957 and stormed the ports of Manhattan under the command of his step-father, Captain Johanns, the man was in his late 30's and was still fighting like a 20 year old. As the army cleared the streets left and right Captain Johans squad got ambushed by american soldiers and they nearly wiped out his squad with only him and Kessler left. Kessler made a last stand and killed the american squad in a matter of seconds, he then proceeded to help his captain but saw that he was losing blood quickly and he would die any minute.

"Captain stay with me please" said Kessler as he began applying bandages to the wound.

"Don't worry about me kid, heh I knew my time would come sooner or later" he said with a raspy voice.

Kessler knew he was fading quickly and he needed to do something fast. He looked around for any soldiers but to no avail. He returned his gaze to the dying captain but found out it was already too late, his Captains eyes were shut and he had no pulse left, his chest wasn't rising anymore and his hands felt cold. It was pointless, Kessler knew he was dead.

After the atomic bomb fell on New York city america surrendered shortly after and the Nazi army began pouring into america. As for Kessler he wen't back to the London Nautica Head Quarters where in he quickly rose through the ranks until he made it to Leutenant and recieved his own office. Kessler was never a fan of the Ideas and Beliefs of the Nazi government, like executing Jews and saying that their race is superior seemed kind of stupid for him. But that wasn't the reason why he joined the Nazi army instead he joined to bring peace and justice to the country he loves, not to execute civilians and shoot unarmed targets as practice. It made him sick, but there is nothing he can do about, most of the time he signs papers and coordinates troop movements to ensure law enforcement. He would also supervise the London Monitor during its rearming of weapons and sometime marvel at its design and so this became the everyday job of Kessler, until someone decided to bomb the London Nautica and then crash land a space shuttle and also defeated the London Monitor, and now he is in a land full of mythical creatures.

Twilight was busy cleaning up her personal library in the afternoon with her number one assistant.

"Oh come on Twilight," whined spike, "We have been rearranging these books for 3 hours already!" 

"Oh Spike, you know today is our usual cleaning of the library" said Twilight as she levitated more books and placed them on the shelf, "and besides, you promised to help me this time to make up for that vase you broke yesterday"

Spike grumbled as he remembered the promise he made yesterday. He broke a priceless vase from saddle Arabia and Twilight was not pleased when she found out it was broken.

"Yeah, Yeah" grumbled Spike.

Twilight dropped the books she was levitating as a loud thunderous roar came from outside and was soon followed by a large earthquake.

"Spike hold on to something!" yelled twilight through the shaking.

"ALREADY AHEAD OF YOU!" he yelled through the continuing earthquake.

The library shook violently as the earthquake seemed to grow stronger as each minute passed. Twilight, who was taking refuge under a table, closed her eyes in fear and said a silent prayer to Celestia to make the earthquake stop. As the earthquake started to die down Twilight stayed under table thinking there would be an after earthquake. But to her surprise none came, slowly she crawled out from under the table and stood up to straighten herself out.

"What in Celestia's name could've caused such an earthquake?" she asked herself, she turned to see spike crawling out from under a small pile of books, "Oh spike! Are you OK? Are you hurt?"

"Jeez I'm fine Twilight, besides these scales protected me" pointing at his back.

Twilight looked around the library, bookshelf's were on the floor and books were just sprawled everywhere.

"Come on Spike lets go check on the others" said Twilight.

With that they both headed towards the door and opened it. Twilight stared in shock as she saw houses destroyed or either some parts of it demolished. She saw ponies just wondering around the area looking for others or nurse's and stallions carrying injured ponies to the hospital.
Applejack and the rest of the mane 6 ran up to Twilight with concerned looks on their faces.

"Twi', what in tarnation is goin on here" asked Applejack.

"This is just awful! My botique is in ruins and all my hardwork is destroyed just because of some random earthquake" sobbed Rarity as she plopped down on the dirt.

"Umm......Twilight? Im not sure of this but do you have any idea on what just happened?" asked Fluttershy in her usual shy voice.

"I don't know guys, to be honest I have no idea what just happened" said twilight with a hint of worry in her voice.

"Spike" she looked at her assistant, "take a letter"

"Will do" he said as he ran back into the castle and came out with a paper and quill, "Whats the message Twilight?"

"Dear Princess Celestia, Please send help and aid, Ponyville has just suffered a major earthquake and I am afraid we are all in a great state of chaos. There are few houses standing and most ponies are left homeless. I fear the residents may start an uprising if we don't help them soon and the hospital can only hold many patients, i fear an outbreak of some sort will happen and plague us all with a potentially dangerous disease. Please I beg of you send help.

-Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle"

With that spike rolled up the letter and burned the letter sending it of to Celestia.

Celestia had just finished her meeting with the griffon ambassador and things didn't work out as planned. The King of the Griffon empire, King Apex had requested that Celestia give up the lands they possessed over to griffon hands and they wont have to result in fighting. If they didn't comply then the King would have to take the land by force, even if it meant declaring war on Equestria. But of course Celestia wouldn't give up so easily, those lands belonged to Equestria rightfully and the griffons are trespassing on their soil. To make matters worst the griffons have allied themselves with the Minotaur's and Ram's and have agreed to aid the griffons if ever war was declared. The Griffons, being a militaristic race, have spent the last few years building weapons to strengthen their army. The griffons have managed to make cannons that fire off explosive shells that explode on impact and has mounted them on contraptions made of armor (basically a WW2 era type tank) and with that the griffons have a huge advantage over the ponies in terms of armor. They have also managed to make zeppelins that carry cannons on all sides and can provide bombardments, killing anything it desires to shoot, and has armor that not even arrows can pierce. The Ram's on the other hand have built an engine that doesn't run on steam but some type of special fuel which powers the griffons tanks.

The Minotaur's have made weapons that can shoot out metal things at the end. Not only that but they have a wider variety of weapons that can inflict much greater damage. And to top it all off the griffon ambassador left with a message saying that Equestria will pay for not answering their request. Celestia used everything in her power to change the griffon ambassadors mind, to persuasion, bribing and even begging, which she hated the most. She even resorted to threaten the griffons by not giving light to their lands and cover them in darkness, but no matter what she tried to do everything failed. Celestia knew war was inevitable and she needed to rally the troops fast, she needed to tell Shining Armor and the rest of the captains to start a program and start enlisting all able bodied stallions to fight for their land.

Just as she was about to enter her chambers a letter popped up in front of her. Celestia opened it up and read the Letter.

"Dear Princess Celestia, Please send help and aid, Ponyville has just suffered a major earthquake and I am afraid we are all in a great state of chaos. There are few houses standing and most ponies are left homeless. Many of those whose houses were affected are now homeless and in desperate need of shelter. I fear the residents may start an uprising if we don't help them soon and the hospital can only hold many patients, I fear an outbreak of some sort will happen and plague us all with a potentially dangerous disease. Please I beg of you send help.

-Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle"

Celestia closed the letter with a look of distress in her face. Not only did she have to deal with an upcoming war but she had to now send help to a town in need. She quickly dispatched a messenger to the nearest barracks and requested that they move to Ponyville immediately to help with the emergency aid. While that was done Celestia dispatched another messenger to the Crystal Empire in hopes of requesting Shining armor's help. She then proceeded to the throne room to discuss the battle plans with Luna for the upcoming attacks.

As Celestia entered the room she saw two messengers run past her, she looked at Luna and said.

"I take it you have taken care of the summoning of the Captains of the Royal Guard?"

"Not only that Tia, but I have requested troops from Stalliongrad to be moved to the Northern front where the first possible attack might occur" said Luna.

"And what is our current number of troops now?" asked Celestia.

"Well the troops from Stalliongrad are around roughly 900 strong, while the one in Canterlot is around 1,000 strong. Appleloosa has a standing of 300 guards while Manehattan has around 500 guards, Cloudsdale is still rallying up their troops, so it will take some time before they respond" remarked Luna.

"And what of the drafting program?" Celestia asked.

"I have already sent messengers to distribute flyers around Canterlot, Ponyville and Cloudsdale and the to the rest of Equestria" replied Luna.

"I see you have prepared quite well for this, I guess you'll be in charge of commanding the armies while I keep the peace among our subjects" Celestia said before sitting down in her throne with a tired look.

As much as she hated war Celestia couldn't stop it this time, since the enemy refused to give in to peace. And the last war ever fought was 1,000 years ago between Nightmare Moon and Celestia. The Equestrian military was fairly weak since most of Equestria's issues were solved diplomatically. And since Equestria has not seen any battles for the past 1,000 years, it was definitely lacking the pony power.

Celestia sighed, she knew of the upcoming events would scar Equestria for the next 100 years or so. She pondered for a long time thinking of possible ways to end this war quickly, maybe even allies would be of help, but the only ally Equestria has is the zebra empire on the the Southern side of the Equestrian sea which meant 2 months worth of sea travel to Equestria and an extra month to deploy to strategic locations.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Kessler relaxed in his chair as the London Monitor made its trek through this forest trampling trees and life-forms without consent. Kessler had dozed off to sleep every now and then. He marveled at what the Monitor had to offer, not only did have it own control center it also has a fridge and an extra closet for uniforms for any commanding officers, the fridge had food that could last up for one year and it wall for him.

Kessler looked at the screen which gave a detailed view of where they were now. The London Monitor had stopped at the outskirts of the forest and they were now standing in a clearing, only this time the clearing they were standing in, seemed to be a wasteland that extended into nothingness. There was a mountain in the distance which seemed to be a short walk from here via London Monitor.

"Monitor proceed to that mountain over there" commanded Kessler.

"Roger that" the Monitor replied as it lurched forward towards the mountain.


As the monitor approached the mountain, it seemed to be covered in dark patches all over. It seemed lifeless, The thundering footsteps of the Monitor mean't that its presence was known to all living things. Not that it actually cared but it wanted to make its presence known to anything stupid enough to attack it.

Missy the changeling watched in awe as a giant behemoth made its way towards the hive. She ran inside to inform the guards about this monstrosity. At first the guards and queen didn't believe Missy's story but when they heard the thundering footsteps outside, Chrysalis wasted no time in rallying her troops and motioning for them to dispose of this new intruder, whoever dared attack the mighty hive of Chrysalis was bound to pay.

Kessler watched in awe as thousands of horse like bugs came pouring out of the mountain, it seemed that the Monitor has disturbed some sort of hive, and they just made it very angry.

"Monitor engage battle mode!" commanded Kessler.

As soon as Kessler gave the order the Monitor brought all its weapons systems online.

"Charge Changelings, Charge!" yelled a Changeling commander as he watched the Changeling army descend towards the Giant Behemoth.

As soon as the Changelings made their way towards the London Monitor, it opened up its dual tri-barrel rocket launchers and launched a volley of missiles in separate directions to spread the explosion damage and kill as many of these things as possible. As the Missiles hit the Changelings, nearly all of them were vaporized in a fiery death.

The Changeling commander watched in horror as the first wave was completely obliterated in front of his eyes. He trembled in fear and was sweating buckets, he needed a new approach and he needed it fast. Not wanting to make the same mistake again, he ordered all troops to land and attack on foot.  As the Changelings landed some Changelings were already shooting magic bolts and punching the Behemoth but to no avail. The armor was too strong for them.

Kessler watched as the bugs descended and landed to attack the Monitor on foot, he sat back in his chair and watched in amusement as they were going to be surprised by the bottom turrets, as much as he hated killing defenseless people/creatures, he particularly enjoyed watching this race suffer for unknown reasons. The Monitor watched as the hostile enemies landed and proceeded to attack on foot, quickly thinking he deployed his tri barreled gatling guns which was housed in turrets under neath him to protect the London Monitor from being flanked by enemies, as they started shooting bolts at him he could only watch as they bounced of his armor harmlessly. The Monitor returned fire by firing his gatling guns and completely mowing down the enemy targets. He watched as some were crawling away from the scene and quickly ended their demise. The Monitor kept on firing his gatling guns and decapitated some Changelings, leaving them with no arms or legs or with just their upper half of their body. 

The Monitor released another volley of missiles at the ground troops before watching them get obliterated. It turned in the other direction and saw there were still more of these bugs. The Monitor charged up a standard Laser shot and fired it into the group of hostiles, the next moment, the once large group of enemies were nothing but ashes. As the Monitor discharged another volley of missiles at a group Changelings that were trying to escape, it noticed there were no more of these strange things left. It scanned the area and found an opening in one of the Mountain sides that lead into some sort of hive inside the Mountain.

"Sir are you getting this?" it asked.

"Yes Monitor, what do you think we should do now?" asked Kessler in a curious tone.

"I detect more lifeforms inside the mountain sir" it said, "And with your permission I am willing to deploy the guard robots in an attempt to clear out this infestation"

"Are these the standard Guard Robots?" asked Kessler.

"No sir, These are the Mk 2 Guard Robots, their design is the same as their predecessor but its flaws have been redesigned such as the armor improvement, The armor is now impenetrable to bullets and explosives, the only thing that can harm them are high powered Laser Shots to anywhere in its body, other than that nothing else" it said.

"Very well, You may proceed Monitor" Kessler said.

With that two pods detached from the London Monitor with rocket assisted Thrusters  and landed with a heavy thud on the ground. The pod opened and deployed the Guard Robots one by one in quick haste. Soon a total of twelve Guard Robots stood to attention at the entrance. The Monitor soon transferred its orders to the Guard Robots, its Order, "Kill all known Lifeforms inside and take the leader hostage, show no mercy" with that the robots proceeded inside the cave.

Changelings set up barricades all throughout the hive to stop the intruder.

A Changeling scout returned in full speed to report his findings.

"SIR! The enemy is approaching fast and they are-ACK!" said the scout before falling to the floor in a smoking heap.

Around the corner came a single Guard Robot firing Its Heavy Laser Blaster at the Changelings and completely going right through them and burning their insides. Within seconds the First barricade was destroyed and the rest of the mechs moved on towards the Throne room. Soon more barricades fell within a by the second as nothing would stop the intruders. Chrysalis stood with a handful a her elite guards and the remaining soldiers that were left. All remaining personal fell back to the Throne room to defend their queen.

The doors were blasted open by a loud explosion and the doors flew back killing at least 20 Changelings. The Guards stood their ground and waited for their enemy. Four Guard Robots emerged from the smoke with their red menacing eyes and guns Blazing, they mowed down guards that stood in their way and showed no mercy to those that tried to surrender. even the personal Guards of Chrysalis were killed instantly because they fired their laser bolts at them, in return the Guard Robots returned fire.

Within minutes the throne room was a graveyard, there were bodies everywhere and green blood was splattered everywhere, the walls and floors were soaked in changeling blood. Only Chrysalis remained and she was scared as a little filly.

"Who are they? And what do they want?" she thought to herself.

The Guard Robot looked at Chrysalis and was feeding live data to the London Monitor for its superiors to see.

"Hmmm, quite an interesting species this one," Kessler said to himself as he analysed it, "this one seems to have a horn and bug like wings and is shaped as a horse?"

"Tell the Guard Robot to question it" commanded Kessler.

With that, the order was relayed and the Guard Robot began its interrogation.

"What are you?" it said.

"Ill never talk beast!" exclaimed Chrysalis.

With that the Guard Robot stomped its left foot down on the left hind leg of the insect, crushing and breaking any bones it had.

Chrysalis let out a painful scream, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

"Answer me now!" it said.

"I'm Queen Chrysalis, Leader of the Changelings" she said in a painful way

"Is there more of your kind?" it asked.

"No" Chrysalis replied.

"Are there any species similar to you?" it asked again.

"There are the pony races to the east and the griffon race to the north. There is also the Minotaur's and Ram's that live to the West" Chrysalis replied this time in a more angrier tone.

The Guard Robot looked at her for what seemed like eternity before speaking up again.

"Your services are no longer needed," with that it fired a clean shot towards the leaders head and ending its life.

"Re-draw the Robots, were moving out" said Kessler.

"To where exactly sir?" the Monitor asked.

"Were gonna pay those ponies a visit and maybe we can at least find out what country we're in" said Kessler.

"Roger that" it said, with that the Guard Robots were called back. 

After Five minutes of waiting, the Robots were stowed away in their pods, the pods activated their thrusters and took off and re-attached themselves to the London Monitor to be used again for battle next time. The London Monitor spun its legs around and headed in the direction of the ponies or heading towards the land of Equestria. And are heading right into the thick of Equestria's first war after a thousand years.





> Chapter 3
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
Normally the Friendship Castle wouldn't be full of activities except on special occasions, but since the earthquake most of the extra rooms had been turned into medical areas or were housing ponies who are waiting for their houses to be rebuilt. The Princess of Friendship had been through another tiring day of planning and ordering repairs for Ponyville.The main throne area for the six bearers had been turned into an office area. Twilight was busy sitting in her chair reading reports and filing them into cabinets. Today had been a long and tiring day.

Ever since the earthquake happened, Twilight had converted the lower halls of her castle and many of the extra rooms into living quarters for patients and families that had no homes. She was relieved when the emergency aid Celestia had given her arrived not a moment too soon. She put the Guards to work pushing aside rubble and debris of the destroyed homes to check for dead bodies or recovering trapped ponies or just simply clearing it for a new house. Twilight hoped no ponies had been killed, but to her dismay , 20 ponies had already been found dead, killed by falling debri ,many of them were families. She ordered the bodies to be buried immediatly. Ponyville had suffered major damages, more than 70% of the houses were destroyed. The only buildings that survived were Applejack's farm, which was the least affected, the School, Rarity's Boutique, Fluttershy's cottage, The Town Hall and some houses on the outskirts of town. The homeless ponies were forced to live with friends or in Twilight's castle until their original homes had been rebuilt.

Twilight sighed in relief as 3 new houses were put up today. The more houses built, the more ponies could move out of her castle, not that she didn't want them to stay or anything. Twilight looked up to see Rarity walk in with a tired look on her pretty face.

"Oh Rarity, how was your day?" asked Twilight.

"Terrible darling, I've been making new clothes for the homeless ponies and I'm all out of materials,"  Rarity said as she put her head down onto the table map, "How am going to supply the remaining ponies?"

"Don't worry Rarity, Ill be sure to order fresh new materials for you" said Twilight while putting the last of her files in the cabinet.

"Thanks dear, but I don't think that will be necessary" replied Rarity.

"Oh don't fret, its for the ponies remember?" said Twilight before sitting down in her chair again. She looked up to see Rainbowdash rush in with an excited look on her face.

"Twilight! (huff huff) there is something (huff huff) you must see!" exclaimed Rainbowdash before plopping down onto the floor to fully catch her breath.

"Easy now Rainbow," Twilight said as she offered Rainbowdash some water.

"Thanks" said Rainbowdash as she chugged down the contents of the glass.

"Now then what was it you saw,Rainbow dear?" asked Twilight.

"Well, I was just busy flying around Ponyville looking for any job that ponies might need help with,when I sorta got distracted and flew into the everfree forest without realizing it," said Rainbowdash as she looked at Twilight and Rarity.

"WAIT! YOU WENT INTO THE EVERFREE FOREST WITHOUT TELLING US?!" exclaimed Twilight and Rarity.

"Jeez I'm sorry! I told you I got distracted" exclaimed Rainbowdash.

"Even so-" said Twilight.

"Do you want to listen to the rest of my story?" asked Rainbowdash.

"Yes,please continue!" grumbled Twilight.

"So anyways, I was busy flying over the forest when suddenly a huge crater just appeared right in front of me." said Rainbowdash as she continued to collect her thoughts."And the crater was huge! Like a meteor came from space and crash landed, or an Ursa Major had some sorta fight with a dragon" said Rainbowdash in a very excited tone.

"So what are you trying to get at here?" asked Twilight

"Oh umm, two grey blobs were in the middle which didn't seem to move at all" said Rainbowdash.

"And?" asked Twilight in an annoyed tone.

"They looked like dogs when I got closer" replied Rainbow.

Twilight looked at her friend in surprise. "Dogs?" she asked. "Grey Dogs?, since when did dogs come in grey color? The only dog in town is Applejack's dog, Winona, and since when did Dog's start appearing in craters?"

"Umm Twilight?" asked Rarity.

"Huh? What? Oh sorry I just drifted of that is all" she smile sheepishly.

"Anyway, Rainbow here says we should go visit the crater, but I disagree" said Rarity before turning her attention back to Rainbowdash.

"I think its a good idea" replied Twilight almost instantly.

"YAHOO!!" exclaimed Rainbowdash as she jumped up in glee.

"Well that was a surprise, well if Twilight says its ok then I'm in" said Rarity.

"We should bring Fluttershy along, maybe she knows how to approach stray dogs" said Twilight.

"Good idea, Ill go get her, meet us outside her cottage and we'll begin."

"Alright, see you there" Said Twilight as she went to her room to prepare.

"I guess I should be readying my things then" said rarity as she went out the main door.

After what seemed like 10 minutes the four friends were all at Fluttershy's cottage and ready to embark on their journey. After what seemed like hours the group reached their destination after constant turns and jumps through the forest. Twilight's eyes went wide as she saw how big the crater was.

"Rainbow wasn't joking went she said it was big" thought Twilight as they stood on the edge, examining the crater. The crater seemed large enough to fit in a soccer field.

Twilight continued to scan the area until she noticed a grey object in the middle. She quickly approached it and stopped at least 1 meter away from it. She could see more clearly this time and could make out what it was. She took mental notes as she scanned the object continuously, It seemed to be made out of some sort of metal and stood on all fours like a pony or dog. It seemed to have screws or bolts over specific parts of its body, most noticeably on its legs. "Maybe it helps it move?" she thought.

The grey object also had a metal like tail at its end, which made it seem more like a dog. It had some sort of hump at its back and it sported a metal neck. Twilight soon looked at its face and noticed something odd.This creature/machine didn't have eyes. Twilight stared at it dumbfound before looking at its mouth. Apparently its mouth was metal and so were its teeth, meaning that it could literally chew through almost anything.

"What do you think it is,Twilight?" asked Fluttershy, as she stood beside her, inspecting the object.

"I have no idea Fluttershy, I was thinking you might have some sort of idea" replied Twilight.

"Oh.....ummmmm....maybe its a critter that just got lost?" Fluttershy said.

Panzerhund Schlägerei,the second grey doglike machine, had been hiding in the bushes, quietly stalking its new found targets. Panzerhund Schlägerei had been patrolling the streets of London with its partner Panzerhund Wilde when suddenly their systems failed and everything went black. Panzerhund Schlägerei found itself in the middle of a crater next to its partner Panzerhund Wilde. Unfortunately Panzerhund Wilde had not woken up yet. Panzerhund Schlägerei had tried to wake its friend up but to no avail. It scanned its surroundings (Panzerhunds don't have eyes but can still see clear as day. The reason is unknown to how they see so I'm just going to say "theoretically" they have scanners that allow them to see through their armor plating and observe their surroundings in a very clear aspect) and picked up voice signals approaching its area, instincts kicking in it ran to the nearest bush and crouched down to stalk its prey.

As Panzerhund Schlägerei continued to observe its targets in took into account  what they were. Apparently they were quadruped beings which were horse shaped? No,ponies was the right term as it corrected Itself. It took into account that these "ponies" came in different colors. The one that was closest to its partner seemed to have wings and a horn. It was colored purple and was slightly larger than its friends. The one next to it seemed to have pink hair and its color was golden buttery and had wings. The one behind the two had somewhat indigo hair and a white body with a horn except it had no wings "maybe a different species" it thought.

Apparently these ponies also have fur, it took into its notes before saving it into it's memories. And finally the flying pony, this one had multicolored hair and and cyan like color for its body, it had wings similar to the yellow. That's all the targets scanned and accounted for. The Panzerhund continued to monitor the ponies until Panzerhund Wilde started to wake up.

"Umm....Twilight? What is it doing" said Fluttershy as the object started to move and growl.

"I don't know about animals that are made of metal!" exclaimed twilight as she and Fluttershy slowly backed away from the metal beast,"but it seems to be waking up!"

Panzerhund Wilde brought its systems online after what seemed like an eternity. It activated it sensors and scanned its surroundings. It turned and saw the four quadruped creatures looking at it. Quickly thinking, it activated the rest of its body and sprung to full battle mode. It tested its jaws by snapping them open and closed, this of course scared the four quadruped creatures as they quickly backed off.
"Twilight what is it doing?" asked Rarity with a worried voice.

"Just stay calm and walk back slowly" replied twilight as she and the others continued to walk back slowly, away from the beast. 

Panzerhund Wilde continued to scan its targets as they backed away from him, suddenly one of the quadruped creatures started flying in the air keeping its distance from him. It continued to scan its targets when a call came through its communications line (meant for Panzerhunds to communicate during patrol missions). It was from its partner, Panzerhund Schlägerei.He Immediately turned around and spotted his partner in the bushes due to his odd signature which gave him away to his scanners. He quickly accepted the call and kept it open to future communications.

"Wilde are you ok?" asked Schlägerei.

"Yep, all systems in check" he replied.

"What about the situation with those ponies?" Schlägerei asked

"Ponies?" he asked.

"Yep,those are ponies" replied Schlägerei.

"Oh, they seem to be frightened...wait hold on, one of them is attempting to speak..be in contact with you once I'm done" said Wilde as he turned back to the ponies.

While Wilde and Schlägerei were busy conversing with each other, Fluttershy went up to it quietly and got its attention by speaking in her usual voice.

"Ummmm....excuse me? Mr Metal Dog? Ummmm.....I was ahh....ummm wondering if you were lost or maybe hurt...and uhh maybe you wanted help?" said Fluttershy in her shy voice as she questioned the metal beast.

Wilde looked at her in confusion, these so called "ponies" just talked, but he was saving every sort of data it could get out of these ponies, so he could use to his advantage next time if ever he was attacked, he also shared his data to Schlägerei so that he may also use this in combat next time.

Wilde continued to look at the yellow pony who seemed to continue asking him questions until he was interrupted by Schlägerei.

"I found something Wilde!" exclaimed Schlägerei.

"What is it?" asked Wilde.

"I found the London Monitor on my tracker!" said Schlägerei excitedly. Which was odd since Panzerhunds only felt excitement when they get given a target to kill and wasted no time in killing them.

"Where on Earth did you find that? I thought the Monitor was dead?" replied Wilde.

"Well its alive, and It just sent me its coordinates, were to rendezvous with it A.S.A.P" said Schlägerei.

"Then what do we do with these ponies then?" asked Wilde.

"Just leave them be, come on we don't wan't to keep our new commander waiting" said Schlägerei as he took off into the forest.

"Wait for me you dolt" replied Wilde as he also took off in the same direction as Schlägerei with unprecedented speed, leaving the ponies in a cloud of dust.

"Did the Panzerhunds receive the coordinates?" asked Kessler.

"Yes sir" replied the Monitor.

"Good lets wait for them and we can move out by then" said Kessler.

"Roger" was the last words said as the Monitor resumed Guard duty while Kessler went back to sleep.  

> Chapter 4
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Huh?.....wait! Where are you going?" yelled Fluttershy as the metal beast ran off in a different direction leaving a cloud of dust in its wake. 

"Oh no you don't!" exclaimed Rainbowdash as she took off after the beast in an attempt to stop it.

"Wait Rainbowdash!" Called Twilight as she watched Rainbow take off after the beasts.

"We have to stop her Twilight, before she hurts herself!" exclaimed Rarity while watching Rainbow chase after the beasts.

"Come on Lets go!" exclaimed Twilight as she and her friends started running after Rainbow in hopes of stopping her before things end bad real quickly.

Rainbowdash had been flying to keep up with the metal beasts, but apparently the beasts werent as fast as her which allowed her to keep up. As she kept on following the beasts, the forest started to get thicker and she started to lose sight of the beasts. Quickly thinking she went below the tree line and managed to spot them again, however this became a problem since the branches from the trees and over excessive bushes were constantly getting in her way which made her lose sight of these beasts every now and then. Rainbow also noticed that the sun had started to set and soon the creatures of the night will roam the everfree in search of food. Rainbow pushed her thoughts aside and picked up speed avoiding branches and trees and finally caught up to one of the beasts.

"Can't these things slow down?" thought Rainbow as she ducked under a branch to avoid collision,"at least they aren't as fast as me"

"Schlägerei, the cyan pony is still following us" said Wilde as he smashed straight through a tree, breaking it instantly due to his armor.

"I know, i can see that" replied Schlägerei as he jumped over a log,"ill take are of it, i don't want any visitors near our new commander"

"We are not ordered to kill anything," said Wilde as he continued dodging more obstacles,"besides, how are you gonna take care of it?"

"Oh, ill just immobolise it," said Schlägerei as he jumped up into a nearby branch and used it as a spring to launch himself straight at the flying pony.

Rainbowdash tried her best to keep up with these beasts but as the sun started to go down she could barely keep track of them until she spotted one of them in a clearing, she quickly tried to level herself with it to try and communicate with it. Then suddenly the beast jumped up to a nearby branch and launched itself towards her, Rainbow then quickly tried to do a manuevur but was too late as the beast slammed straight into her with full force. Rainbow felt like her body had been hit by a train and was slowly falling together with the beast, she felt some broken bones no doubt as she soon hit the ground with a thud.

Schlägerei had succesfully stopped its pursuer and was now determined to make sure it never follows him and Wilde again.

Rainbowdash was barely concious when she hit the ground, she tried to get up but felt a throbbing pain in her side. She tried to move again but the pain was too much, she looked around and saw the metal beast approaching her.

"Hey you stay back! Or...or...im gonna buck the crap outta you!" she exclaimed, but winced again as the pain in her side became more painful. She looked at the beast again and this time it was no more than 2ft away from her. Rainbow tried to speak again but was silenced by the pain in her side.

Schlägerei looked at the pony and quickly annalysed which was the best way to immobolise it without potentially killing it. He opted for the wings but then decided it would follow them on foot, he then scanned its legs and found its weakness. It one swift motion Schlägerei pounced on the pony and bit down on its frontal right leg with full force enough to crush a fully grown human. As Schlägerei bit down on the pony's leg it let out a definate scream.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Rainbow felt like a boulder the size of a house had smashed her foward right leg and it was now trapped underneath it. She tried her best not to scream again but the beast kept moving its mouth like a dog tearing apart its new toy, Rainbow couldn't help but scream again.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" screamed Rainbow again as tears started to form in her eyes, she knew she was gonna die and no one was gonna save her. She wanted the pain to stop badly, there was blood coming out of her leg and the puddle started to grow bigger, Rainbow coughed up more blood as the dog kept moving its mouth viciously. Then Rainbow couldn't hold on any longer and passed out in a bloody heap.

Schlägerei looked at his work and saw the pony had lost quite some blood, enough for it too pass out but not die. He heard voices in the distance thanks to his super hearing abilities and quickly ran in the direction of Wilde, who was waiting in the nearby bushes for him.

"That was a bit brutal" said Wilde.

"Hah! That? Brutal? We all know what brutal is when we tear a human rebel to pieces!" exclaimed Schlägerei as he took off on the original path towards the London Monitor.

"Should've let me join in on the fun" said Wilde as he took off after Schlägerei.

"Betrer luck next time" replied Schlägerei.

Twilight and her friends had been galloping all the way through the everfree trying to follow Rainbow, who was busy chasing the beasts. As the sun started to set Twilight became even more worried for they might be trapped in this place for the whole night. Following the beast was pretty easy since they left all sorts of destruction in their wake, broken branches, destroyed tress and trampled bushes made it easy to locate them. Unfortunatly Fluttershy was not happy with this destruction as many critters were left without homes or food. Fluttershy tried to help them but was soon stopped by her friends reminding her that they have another job at hand. While the were busy making their way through the forest Twilight stopped in her tracks as she heard a fimiliar scream in the distance.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" as the scream came from deeper in the woods.

"Did you guys hear it?" Asked Twilight in a worried voice.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" came the scream again.

"Thats Rainbow's voice! Dear me it looks like she has run into  trouble after all!"exclaimed Rarity.

"We need to help her" said Fluttershy.

"Rainbow! We're coming!" yelled Twilight at the top of her voice in hopes of a response from Rainbow 

As the three friends sprinted off in the direction of the scream they hoped their friend was all right. Using the path that was created by the beasts they arrived at the scene where it came to a dead end.

"Where did they go?" asked Rarity.

"Spread out they can't be too far" replied Twilight.

"I found Rainbow guys!" said Fluttershy in an excited way, but her smile soon faded when she saw what happened to her friend.

The three friends wasted no time in getting to Rainbow's body. Upon closer inspection they all gasped in horror as they saw their injured friend. Fluttershy began to cry as Twilight and Rarity began to inspect here wounds. Rarity used a basic healing spell to try and stop the bleeding in her leg while Twilight did a full body scan with her magic to check for any injuries. She found that Rainbow's left wing had been broken due to something hard smashing into it resulting in it being bent in an awkward position.

Twilight began casting more spells to stop the bleeding in her leg but she knew it wasn't enough, they needed to get Rainbow to a hospital now. Twilight thought of using a long range teleportation spell but she barely even practiced it. She looked at her injured friend and pushed her thoughts aside.

"Guys, get closer Ill teleport us to the Ponyville hospital" began Twilight as she began charging up her horn.

Fluttershy and Rarity looked at each other before nodding and huddled close to Twilight with Rainbowdash in the middle. Within the next second a bright purple flash was emitted and the group was gone.

Nurse Redheart had been busy attending to her patients needs when suddenly and bright purple light appeared and standing in the middle of the room was princess sparkle and her three friends, only that one of them was in really bad shape.

"She needs a doctor!" exclaimed Twilight as she rubbed the dizziness away from her head.

Nurse Redheart wasted no time and bolted out the door to call for extra personal before returning to the room to check on Rainbowdash. Within seconds Rainbow was lifted onto a emergency bed and was rolled off to the emergency room with her friends folllowing behind.

Kessler had been waiting for the Panzerhunds all night and they still hadn't shown up yet.

"Monitor open the hatch, im going for some fresh air," began Kessler as he stood up and proceeded towards the control door and opened it.

"Will do" replied the Monitor.

The entrance hatch opened and Kessler stepped outside into the besutiful night sky he sat down on top of the closed hatch and watched the stars and marveled at their beauty. He ordered the ladder to drop down and he made his way to the ground. Seeing there was still plenty of time left he removed his coat hung on one of the bolts attaches to the legs and began his usual daily excersie that he used to do back at the London Nautica. He started out by doing fifty laps around the Monitor and then moved on to fifty push ups and fifty curl ups, he then proceeded to test his manuevrability by running and doing power slides with his silenced pistol and began shooting makeshift targets and using stealth to his advantage. 

"Yep still got it" said Kessler as he began to put on his coat and began climbing up the ladder to the London Monitor. 

Just as Kessler put his foot on the Ladder two noisy object burst out of the woods which startled Kessler as he scrambled to cover and whipped out his pistol. He peeked aroud the corner and saw the two Panzerhunds from earlier on.

"Well were here" said Schlägerei as looked at the Monitor.

"About time you arrived, your new master is eager to meet you" began the Monitor as it spoke into its comms.

"Where is he?" asked Wilde.

"Over there" replied Schlägerei as he motioned his scanners towards the Monitors legs.

Kessler stepped out of his hiding place and looked at the two Panzerhunds, which in turn looked back at him. The two Panzerhunds made their way over to him as fast as possible and began wagging their tails excitedly and sitting down on their hinds like the obdedient dogs they are. Kessler eyed the two of them carefully until he noticed the one on his right had familiar markings and had blood on its metal teeth, but that wasn't the case. He racked his brains for any clue that might lead him to knowing this familiar symbol, thats when it hit him like a train.

"Panzerhund Schlägerei? Am I correct? Is that you?" asked Kessler as he pointed his finger at the familiar vicious dog.

The Panzerhund could only nod its head in excitement as its new master said its name.

"How does he know you?" asked Wilde in confusion.

"Oh, I was assigned to his squad a few years back when we were patroling the streets of London" replied Schlägerei.

"Oh" was all Wilde could say before looking back at his new master.

Kessler looked at the second Panzerhund and asked the Monitor for its name.

"Monitor whats the second ones name?" he asked.

"Panzerhund Wilde, Leutenant" it replied.

"Ahh thanks" he replied before turning his attention back to the Panzerhunds.

"Now where are we gonna keep you two?" he asked no one in particular.

Then the two attack pods detached themselves and landed with a heavy thud and each one opened an empty hatch, enough to fit one Panzerhud in each.

"What sort of storage is that?" he asked.

"Emergency storage sir" it replied.

"Oh" said Kessler as he watched the two Panzerhunds climb into their respective areas before the hatches closed and the pods began to re-attach themselves to the Monitor.

Kessler made his way up the ladder again and reached the top to take one final look at the night sky before making his way down the hatch and into the control room. As he sat down in his chair he said.

"Wake me up early tomorrow, Im going to do my daily excersise starting today" said Kessler before putting his feet up to rest on the control panel,"and you may proceed again to our destination"

"Will do" replied the Monitor as it lurched forward and began its thunderous journey towards the pony area. The Monitor watched as its commander fell asleep as it began movig again. It kept on replaying the battle it had with Bj and kept on finding out its weakness that he exploited so well. It kept watching the footage where every time it charged up a Laser shot it would be stunned momentarily. As it made new changes to its programming and began changing specifications to its Laser it was now statisfied with what it can do now, if ever someone were to shoot its eye now with Laser or Explosive weaponry the Eye/Laser will absorb it and turn it into energy to feed its systems or add extra power to its Laser Cannon. This made the Monitor happy as it kept reaserching this for a week ever since it got here and was now happy with its new upgrade. As the Monitor trekked it way towards the Pony Land it didn't realise that it was heading straight for its capital or also known as "Canterlot"

As the Monitor walked through the night it kept track of the time. It left the previous camp spot at 8:01 and the current time is now 1:00, the Monitor had been walking for 4 hours straight and still no civilizations have been spotted, just trees and grass going on and on. As the Monitor rounded a bend it found it self at the base of a Mountain and it seems it has stepped out into clear open fields. It scanned the area and if its map data was correct, if they round this corner they would have to just proceed straight towards the pony land. The Monitor scanned again and this time picked up voices over on the other side of the Mountain, it was faint but it was voices. Protocols being put into affect, the Monitor opened two small hatches opened on the top and out came two Mk 2 Drones, Wasp and Hornet, at the ready. The Monitor relayed its orders for a scouting mission and it was explicitly to only scouting. As the drones took off over the Mountain, they activated their cloaking and live camera feed to relay all valuable intel back to the Monitor. As the Drones crested the ridge line they came over and split up, covering more ground that way. As the live feed was being fed to the Monitor, the drone saw what seemed to be a stone wall that seemed to extend until the next mountain which didn't seem far. As the drone(Hornet) flew over the area it spotted many horse like creatures clad in golden armor carrying spears or swords or crossbows. The same footage came from the second drone(Wasp) which was seeig the exact same thing horses carrying swords and spears. As hornet continued to survey the area, it spotted multiple tents and what seemed to be training grounds for these horses. Obviously these horses were preparing for some kind of battle but the drone didn't dwell on it, instead it continued to survey the area until it got called back, as it continued to observe these horses it spotted  what seemed to be a giant crossbow on wheels. It zoomed in and saw that it was indeed a giant crossbow. Meanwhile Wasp was busy observing the features of these horses, apparently some of them have wings while others had horns. Those with wings could fly and do all sorts of tricks while those with horns could shoot some sort of bolt at its targets, as for the ones without either wings nor horns they seemed to be normal horses the only difference, they seem to be more hardworking. As the horns started blaring in the camp all sorts of activity sprung out of no where as all the horses were busy gettig ready or attending to their stations. The Monitor recalled the drones as the data they have gathered is already enough. As the drones went back into their hatches the Monitor began to study these creatures and began exploiting their weaknesses until Kessler will wake up, until then the night would be full of research.

> Chapter 5
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Captain Longsword had never been a fan doing construction work or rather surpervising one. As soon as his battalion had been transferred from Stalliongrad to the northern front, all they did was train and build walls for the past 3 days. Captain Longsword was relieved when the great wall was finally finished today. As he stood in the main watch tower, he dubbed it "Invincible" because he thought no one would dare attack this place.Be it griffons or dragons this wall shall remain standing as long as Equestria lives. 

"Sir!" yelled a Pegasi guard as he landed in front of him.

"What news do you bring soldier?" asked Longsword.

"The first scouting legion has spotted a Griffon army heading towards us!" exclaimed the private as he looked at his superior.

Longsword's eyes grew wide with fear.He didn't think the Griffons would attack this early, and they haven't even put the cannons and ballistas on the walls yet.

"ALL HOOFS TO ACTION STATIONS!" he yelled as everyone rushed to get up and move to their respective areas.

"MOUNT THE CANNONS AND BALLISTAS ON THE WALLS! NOW!" he yelled, this time soldiers were busy pushing cannons and ballistas and mounting them on the wall to overlook the outer perimeter and provide excellent fire power.

"Sir! The Griffons are gonna arrive in 5 minutes!" exclaimed a scout before waiting for his next order.

"When..." said Longsword before he was cut off by another scout.

"Sir! The enemy is coming in large numbers! And they have these weird looking armored transports!" said another scout before looking at Longsword for orders.

"Join the 7th air cavalry, they will need you" ordered Longsword. And with that the two scouts flew off. Longsword sighed as he knew that good stallions will die today.

"No matter, they wont break this wall no matter what" thought Longsword as he resumed commanding his troops into a defensive position.

"Sir the Griffon army is already at the borders" said an officer before returning to his post.

Longsword picked up a nearby binoculars with his magic and scanned the horizon. Sure enough the Griffons are all amassed and standing at the ready. The Griffons had land and air support. Longsword scanned the troops and noticed something odd.The land Griffons all held some sort of weird metal black stick. Longsword thought of them as clubs, he turned his attention to the armored wagons only this time fear was in his body as the armored wagons had cannons and could kill anything without it worrying about getting hit. As for the air force, the Pegasi could handle them since they were trained at doing extreme combat in the air. As he continued to scan the Griffon army, he tried to form some sort of plan in his head to end this battle decisively. He opted for playing defense the whole time but it would be risky. Then Longsword thought of a flanking attack.He would order four company's to sneak behind the enemy while the battle was raging on, and they would surprise them from the rear encircling their forces and ending the battle in one swift stroke. Seeing that as the best possible option at hand, Longsword reluctantly agreed to his own idea and gathered the company's he would send out.

"1st Company 5th Company 9th Company and 17th Company report to me!" he bellowed through the speakers. Within minutes the 4 Companies were present in the courtyard ready for debriefing.

"Alright listen up!" he yelled,"you all are going to be part of a special attack force, you are to be given the job of flanking our enemies while we engage and distract them long enough for you to get around them. Your job is too sneak by unoticed and attack when the enemy least expects it. Its as simple as that, just follow your leaders an we will end this battle in one swift victory!"

"HOOORAHHHH" cheered the stallions as they began readying their weapons and moving to the secret route.

"Sir! A Griffon has sent a letter regarding the battle" said and officer.

"Let me read it" motioned Longsword as the letter was given to him.

"Dear Worthless Ponies

I am Captain Ironclaw of the Mighty Griffon army and I hereby propose an offering.If you surrender now, then none of your soldiers will be harmed and they will be treated fairly. But if you choose to refuse, then you shall feel the wrath of the Mighty Griffon Empire. If you wish to surrender, send a lone stallion to meet my negotiator and we shall discuss the terms,but if you decide to go down fighting, then I shall be happy to wait for you to begin your first move.

-Yours truly Captain Ironclaw"

Longsword folded the letter with an angry look and threw it away. 

"How could they be so dumb? Trying to challenge us? The Equestrians,whose rulers raise the sun and moon? Are they mad?" he thought before opening the door to the war room. Inside was a variety of officers doing their work relaying messages and drawing out enemy positions, as soon as Longsword entered they all stood to attention.

"At ease" he said as they went back to their work.

"Sir what are we going to do?" asked a young stallion.

"Were gonna hold this place to our last breath! Whatever the enemy may do, we must prevail and stand strong to defend the land we love" replied Longsword, turning back to look at the map.

"Where is the flanking squad?" asked Longsword to a nearby officer.

"They have begun flanking the enemy sir, word has it they are already half way there" said the officer.

"Good" replied Longsword.

Not a moment after Longsword said those words a loud explosion erupted overhead, shaking the underground war room.

"ALL HOOFS PREPARE FOR BATTLE!" yelled Longsword as he put on his armor and sword,then charged out the door.

When Longsword rushed out of the cave he was met with dead bodies everywhere. There were stallions lying on the floor with their guts hanging out or their heads just rolling around the place. As Longsword made his way up the ladder and onto the wall, he saw the Griffon land forces approaching quickly. He then gave the order.

"EVERYPONY HOLD YOUR GROUND AND REPEL THE ENEMY!" he bellowed through the speaker. He then picked up a crossbow and fired it into a oncoming Griffon, who then screamed in pain and died from the powerful arrow.

As the remaining soldiers scrambled to man the wall cannons and ballistas a cannon squad on the far side of the wall was hit by a Griffon tank shell, which tore a hole in the wall and killed all stallions within the small blast radius. As Captain Longsword made his way down to the forward assault group he counted at least 500 hundred stallions joining him in his forward charge to stall the Griffons long enough for the flanking squad to approach from behind and deal the final blow. As the heavy gates opened he was met with explosions all around the area but Longsword did not falter as he defiantly raised his sword and charged towards the Griffons with a loud battle cry. As soon as he charged ,the rest of his assault group valiantly followed him, ready to attack the invaders.

Captain Ironclaw looked through the binoculars and smirked at the oncoming assault group. He made sure his forward attack troops were armed with the latest guns from the Minotaurs, and made sure they were all tested and ready to wreak havoc on their enemies. As the oncoming group of ponies became larger and larger every second Ironclaw waited for the right moment to unleash their new secret weapon.

"Wait for it....Wait for it... Wait for it........NOW!" yelled Ironclaw. As soon as the order was given the assault group opened fire at the incoming ponies resulting in a full-on massacre of the first line of ponies.

As Longswords defenders got closer he could feel the taste of blood in the air.As soon as he crossed the border line he was met with thunderous pops as he saw his first line mowed down by the Griffons black clubs. Thinking quickly he dived for the nearest cover as a spray of dust erupted from where he was last standing. He sighed in relief but looked at the dead bodies.He counted more than fifty good stallions had been lost today.

Kessler was busy doing his morning ritual from running to push ups to curl ups and the usual sprint, dodge and stealth maneuvers. As he picked up his coat he heard an explosion in the distance, he looked around and saw smoke coming from the other side of the Mountain.

"Scheiße!" he thought as he ran to the ladder and began climbing his way up to the top.

"What is going on?!" asked Kessler as he made his way to the chair.

"There seems to be a battle between the ponies and bird like creatures on the other side of the mountain" the Monitor replied.

"Wait.....What?.....ponies vs bird-like what?...." said Kessler as he began rubbing his forehead.

"I think they're Griffons sir" it replied.

"Griffons?!" exclaimed  Kessler as he rubbed his forehead,"since when did.. Oh wait that bug bitch mentioned Griffons during her pleading bullshit"

"Correct sir, What is our next course of action sir?" asked the Monitor.

"Prepare for battle!" commanded Kessler as the Monitor began powering up its rocket pods and laser cannon.

"Alright lets pay these ponies and Griffons a visit" he said.

"Roger" replied the Monitor as it began walking forward.

Captain Longsword had been ducking and weaving through the battlefield for the past 10 minutes and he had already lost nearly all his men. Only a handful of brave stallions were left, the rest were all killed to these strange new weapons called guns. As Longsword peeked out from his cover he quickly popped back down as a hail of bullets flew over him, he loaded another arrow into his crossbow and popped up again in front of the Griffon MG nest. He fired and the arrow flew true and straight towards its  target and hit a Griffon square on, sending the machine gunner flying back. Longsword and his troops moved forward and were soon met with Griffons holding swords when they exited their dug out trench. Instantly Longsword and his men engaged in close quarters combat, Longsword parried the first blow and swung his sword at his opponent but missed. He then raised his sword again and blocked the next two blows.He quickly ducked and swiped at the Griffons legs ,cutting his opponents leg off and finishing him with a blow to the chest. Longsword then attacked his next opponent but was stopped in his tracks when he heard  loud thundering footsteps coming from the distance. He looked around and saw no gunfire or explosions happening, instead his men and Griffons  were looking at the mountain to the left. Longsword turned around to see what all the commotion was all about, Longswords jaw dropped open when he saw the sight of a towering behemoth that seemed to clad in iron all over.Longsword couldn't believe his eyes, he blinked several time but still the towering behemoth was heading straight towards them, the behemoth seemed to walk on three legs and had a complex upper body.It had a circular eye in the middle and boxes hanging on the outer edges. 

As the behemoth got closer to Longswords position it seemed to grow bigger with every step.The steps the behemoth took seemed to shake the ground with every step. Stallions and Griffons lost their footing now and then whenever one of the Behemoths feet made contact with the ground.

"Alright lets just cross that wall and we'll be on our merry way" said Kessler as he watched the screens observing the ponies.

"Roger" replied the Monitor.

As Longsword watched, the behemoth turned and walked towards the wall.He feared that it was a enemy, but seeing as the Griffons had no idea what it was, Longsword assumed it was some sort of mindless beast.

"Well no resistance which means that they're non-hostile" said Kessler. As soon as Kessler said that an explosion was heard outside the Monitor.

> Chapter 6
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kessler sprang to his feet when the explosion was heard.

"Scheiße! Who the fuck shot us?!" demanded Kessler.

"Scanning Potential Targets" began the Monitor as it rotated itself to face the ones who would dare attack it.

Longsword watched in awe as the Behemoth walked over the great wall with ease and ignored everything else in its path. Then he heard a whizzing sound as a shell went over his head and hit the Behemoths leg. At first Longsword thought the Behemoth was dead since it stopped moving, but then to his horror the Behemoth turned around at started to look at them.

Ironclaw watched in amazement as the tall Behemoth walked towards the battlefield, he thought it was one of the Ram's greatest inventions. But as the behemoth stated walking towards the wall, Ironclaw thought of it as an enemy and ordered his tank to fire a shot at its leg. BOOM! went the cannon as the shell went to its target and scored a direct hit on its leg, Ironclaw laughed as the behemoth stopped walking.

"Hah! Didn't even stand a tank shell! How weak!" exclaimed Ironclaw as he picked up his binoculars and scanned the behemoth. But to his horror the iron giant turned itself around and looked at his forces.

"I think we got its attention sir" said his Griffon tank driver as he continued to peer through his drivers port.

"No shit" replied Ironclaw.

Kessler looked at the large group of ponies and Griffons that was standing before him in the screen.

"Who...the...fuck...shot us?!" asked Kessler.

"Still looking sir.........I have found the likely suspect, tank to the north at 11:00'o clock" replied the Monitor as it began charging up its weapons.

"Question that stupid motherfucker, why the fuck did he shoot us?" said Kessler in a very angry tone.

"Roger" replied the Monitor.

Ironclaw kept watching the behemoth as it continued to stand in silence and look at them, then he heard a loud whirring coming from the behemoth. Like something big powering up. Ironclaw jumped in his seat as a voice came from the behemoth.

"You are causing damage to state property, cease immediate activity and present yourself" began the Monitor as it said its standard protocol demands with an added sentence.

Ironclaw gulped as the behemoth asked the question in a dreaded voice.

"This thing talks?!" thought Ironclaw as he started sweating with fear.

"Umm sir? I think it means you" said his driver as he pointed a talon at him.

"Shut up you dolt!" hissed Ironclaw as the driver scurried back to his own job.

"Get the air force on the radio" ordered Ironclaw as the radioman passed him a headset with a microphone attached to it.

"This is Ironclaw, all air force personal in the area start surrounding the behemoth. Attack on my mark" ordered Ironclaw as he heard a chorus of "yes sir" and "understood"

"Did you get that sir?" asked the Monitor.

"Yep, pretty foolish if you ask me. That idiot bird doesn't know we intercepted his transmission, and not only that we now know who shot us" replied Kessler.

"Orders sir?" came the Monitor again.

"You do know I don't have to keep telling you what to do. Remember I gave you the freedom to handle hostile situations" began Kessler as he sat down his chair and resumed staring at the Griffons and ponies below.

"Oh right...complete control eh?" said the Monitor as it started scanning its potential enemies and began finding the best way to minimize damage and not harm civilians. Not that it cared for the lives of the ponies they will just be merely caught in the crossfire.

As Ironclaw watched the Griffon air force form a attack position, he radioed in the nearby remaining tank forces and ordered them to all aim the behemoth.

"All tanks fire on my mark" said Ironclaw through the radio which got a collective response of "yes sir"

"Will these creatures ever learn?" said the Monitor as it began locking on to targets. It counted at least 20 tanks and more than 50 Griffons in the air, "Nothing the rockets can't handle"

Longsword watched as the enemy tanks and air force started to aim for the behemoth. Using this opportunity, Longsword and his remaining small force slipped away unnoticed into a nearby bush and galloped for their lives to wherever they were safe. As Longsword skidded to a halt he turned around and saw the behemoth opening its pods at its side revealing a black surface with circular holes in it.

Ironclaw watched as the behemoth opened its pods and revealed a black surface. He tensed up as the behemoth spoke again.

"You failure to appear has been noted. Last chance come out now and it will be all over"

"Hey you big bucket of bolts!" yelled Ironclaw, which caused the behemoth to focus its full attention at him.

"You are the criminal, come forward quietly and lay down your arms. Resist and you will be dealt with accordingly" boomed the behemoth.

"Hah try me! I am the leader of the Griffon army and you would be a fool to challenge the mighty Griffon empire!" Ironclaw yelled at the metal giant.

"Very well" said the behemoth as it switched to battle mode and the rocket pods were all charged up and ready.

"ALL TANKS FIR-" began Ironclaw but was soon cut off as a full missile pod unleashed a salvo at Ironclaws tank which resulted in it disappearing in a fiery flame due to the immense firepower packed in one missile. 

The other tank crews watched in horror as their leaders tank disappeared in with a huge explosion and in a fiery heap. The remaining tanks panicked and fired their shots at the behemoth. As the shells hit their target the Monitor could only laugh as they didn't do any damage not even scratch the paint. As the behemoth kept on walking and firing more of its weapons it exterminated everything in its sights.

The Monitor activated its machine gun turrets and fired at every Griffon it saw. It fired all its rockets at separate targets and eliminated them in one swift stroke. It released more rockets, this time at the flying Griffons which ripped them apart with ease. It returned its attention back to the ground troops and released more missiles at any stranglers. It moved forward and stomped on a Griffon that was trying to crawl away from its dead tank. It fired it machine guns non stop mowing everything down in sight.

Officer frosty crawled out from his dead tank and looked around at the carnage that unfolded before his eyes, One metal giant managed to wipe out the first attack force and they so foolishly decided to attack it in the first place. He looked up to see a giant metal foot come down on him and he closed his eyes waiting for his demise, "SPLAT"

Longsword watched wide eyes in horror as the giant behemoth slaughtered everything in its path. It even wiped out the new Griffon weapons which even the Equestrian army had a hard time fighting. He watched as the slaughter continued as fires erupted all around it which soon started to spread to a nearby forest. He quickly ordered his small force to make a run back to base as fast as their legs can carry them. 

As the Monitor kept on killing Griffons, their numbers started to fall quickly with every missile salvo and machine gun fire. The Monitor soon activated its infrared scanners and spotted very few targets left, it used its machine guns to ravage its targets. Soon only one target was left and he was hiding behind a sandbag. The Monitor aimed its machine guns at the scared shitless Griffon and unleashed the remaining bullets in its clip before reloading. It returned back to normal mode and looked at the destruction it caused, barely anything survived its destruction and it wasn't even using its Laser Cannon.

"Elimination of hostiles has been complete" said the Monitor.

"Those Griffons are fools to try and attack us, now then lets proceed to the ponies capital and lets find out what sort of country were in" replied Kessler.

"Do you know where it is? I mean, its not on your map or anything" said Kessler questioningly.

"I have managed to spot a castle in the far west that seems to be on a mountain, I must get closer to give a full detail report" said the Monitor informedly.

"Eh proceed, try not to step on the ponies, and if they try to attack us just ignore them" said Kessler while yawning.

"Roger" replied the Monitor as the Monitor started to move forward.

Longsword watched in horror as the behemoth turned around and started walking towards the wall.

"Sir its approaching us! What do we do?!" asked a officer in a very scared tone.

"Just pray it doesn't attack us soldier....just pray" replied Longsword.

As Longsword watched the behemoth come closer with every thunderous footstep, before he realized it the first foot went over the wall and landed with a heavy thud. As stallions scrambled out of the way of the huge foot, the second one came over followed by the last one and soon it started making its way into Equestria. 

"Sir its in our borders! What are we gonna do?!" asked a nervous stallion.

"I want tabs on that thing, follow it wherever it goes. If it reaches a town or settlement, evacuate them and make sure the civilians don't get in harms way" as he looked at two pegasi who both nodded in response and flew after the giant.

Longsword prayed that the giant behemoth won't attack anybody else as it just defeated the Griffon army in quick succession and not even the Equestrian military could stop it. As Longsword watched the behemoth disappear over the evening Horizon he plopped down on his rear and heaved a sigh of relief. Today had been a long and terrible day, "Long and terrible indeed" he thought.

As the Monitor walked through the silent still night, the only thing that could be heard was its loud footsteps that echoed in the distance. It knew there were two flying horses or "pegasus" following it, but it ignored them since he was told not to attack any ponies even if they attacked first. The Monitor began doing diagnostics checks to its troop pods and began resupplying them and cleaning the  troops inside by just dousing them with water. It them moved on to scanning its hulls for any damage, so far no damage done to its armor only just some scratched paint. It still had the iron cross labeled on its legs. It ran more scan on its weapons and found that they were still in check. Only one thing stood out, instead of a number sign the number was an infinite symbol, even its machine gun rounds were infinite. This mean't that it could fire as many rounds as it wants. It finally did a system check on its power core, not that it didn't have to worry about it since the german nuclear powered engine could run this thing for more than 100 centuries. As the Monitor ended its scans it plotted the remaining time left till its arrival at its destination, estimated time left is around 7 hours and 36 minutes until it reaches its destination. 

As the two pegasi were busy stalking him they kept using clouds to hide themselves, but the infrared scanners could easily spot them through anything. The Monitor began compiling data about these types of species so that it could study them later for weaknesses just like the rest of its enemies. Even the Griffon anatomy was easy to record since there wasn't much to learn about griffons. It would present this research to Kessler when the time comes to battle these creatures.
> Chapter 7
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twilight awoke with a start as she kept hearing Spike in the distance yelling at her to wake up. As Twilight sat up, her vision was blurry and she could barely hear anybody. She rubbed her head to make the blurriness go away and regained her hearing. She looked around the room to find that it was still dark but no Spike was around and the only light coming through the window was a glowing orange light. Twilight looked at the window and stared at it, she saw orange colors that represented flames. Which meant that a house was on fire. Just as she pushed herself off the bed, a pony crashed into her window and landed on her table top with a bloody body. Twilight flinched at the blood but rushed to the pony's aid, she lifted up his head but dropped it immediately in shock as the pony had no mouth. In fact his whole face was gone leaving a brain there, as Twilight scrambled away from the body she couldn't hold the urge to puke. She pulled the nearest bucket like object to her and vomited inside, after releasing all her stomach’s contents she looked back at the dead body again which stared at her with a look of mercy. Twilight quickly bolted out of her room and made her way downstairs to the main hall.



"SPIKE! SPIKE! WHERE ARE YOU?!" yelled Twilight through the empty halls.



As Twilight ran for the main door she could hear screaming and sound of fires burning the area. She quickly dropped to the floor as an explosion erupted outside causing an earthquake throughout the castle. As she made her way towards the door a boulder slammed into the right side of the castle entrance wall leaving a huge hole.



"What in Celestia's name is causing all this?" thought Twilight as she returned her attention towards the door.



Twilight gulped as she pushed the door open, expecting to see the royal guard or maybe her friends waiting for her outside. Instead she was greeted with a fiery scene, all around her houses were on fire and ponies were dying left and right. Twilight rushed towards Lyra, who was trapped underneath a pile of burning wood. As Twilight used her magic to levitate the burning wood, she managed to see Lyra wiggle free from the area. Seeing as her friend had escaped freely, Twilight approached her friend and tried to ask questions but was soon stopped in her tracks as Lyra's head was vaporised in an instant. Twilight walked back from the body as it fell to the ground motionless, she turned to wherever the shot came from and saw with pure terror as a bipedal like creature was now looking at her with its one eye. Twilight immediatly teleported to random location as far away from that thing as possible. She looked around and found herself standing in the town hall. Everywhere Twilight looked, fires were burning, not a single house was left untouched. She looked at a nearby house and turned away at the sight, burning at the base of the house were two ponies. Their skins were charred and it was hard to tell who it was, except for their cutie marks which was barely visible. The two ponies were Derpy and Dinky, both died when the house was set on fire. Twilight walked around the carnage as tears started to form in her eyes, she saw Vinyl lying there with her body pierced by a wooden spike. She saw Octavia, or whatever was left of her as she hung from a nearby sign. She saw Mayor Mare as her body was hung to light post with her insides hanging out and blood still spewing everywhere. Twilight couldn't stand it anymore, she wanted to run away from this horrible place and never come back.



"Twilight!" came a familiar voice as her ears perked up.



Twilight turned around and saw Applejack with a sleeping Applebloom on her back.



"Ohhh Applejack,"-said Twilight as she hugged her friend-"make this stop, do something! Anything"



"Ah don't know what to do sugarcube. Ah don't know" replied Applejack as she pulled away from the hug.



"Wheres the rest of the gang?" asked Twilight in a sad tone.



"Ah don't know where the rest are, Ah only know that Dash helped me escape the farm but...Ah'm not sure if she survived" said Applejack as she took off her hat as a sign of respect for Rainbow.



"What do you mean? Wheres Granny Smith? Big Mac?" asked Twilight concerningly.



"They‘re dead. Killed by those  ruthless machines" said Applejack in a deadpanned voice.



"Oh...I‘m sorry," replied Twilight as she looked at the floor but then looked back at Applejack instantly, "Where is Spike?! Is he  ok? Where is he?!"



"Ah'm sorry to say this Twi' but, he was the first to pass. Got eaten instantly by those machines, poor guy didn't stand a chance" replied Applejack.



"AND YOU DIDN'T SAVE HIM?! NOT EVEN HIS REMAINS?!" shouted Twilight as she looked at Applejack sternly.



"We tried our best Twi'" snapped Applejack,"but we couldn't do squat when one of those things killed Big Mac"



"But still…" began Twilight as she broke down into tears, saying sorry to the baby dragon for not being there for him.



"I know it‘s hard Twi' but we need to move, I think that machine is still following us" began Applejack as she picked Twilught off the ground and they began running towards her castle.



As they approached the first steps, Pinkie all off a sudden bumped into them causing Twilight to fall to one side.



"Oh sorry didn't see you there Twi'" Pinkie said apologetically as she reached out a hoof to pull Twilight back up.



"Its no big deal Pinkie" replied Twilight as she was yanked off the floor.



Twilight looked at Pinkie and noticed something odd about her, her straight mane had returned but she still kept that happy voice of hers.



"Pinkie we need to get inside, now!" began Applejack as she opened the door. As soon as Applejack opened the door, the same metal dog that was found in the Everfree was standing there. As Twilight took in its features she looked at it with wide eyes of pure terror as its teeth was covered in blood and so was other parts of its body. She could see the many strands of hair that was still stuck on its bloody teeth. The most noticable was the rainbow colored strand on it lower left teeth.



"Twi' run for it! It‘s the same one that killed Rainbow" began Applejack as she turned around and started galloping away. But before she could even reach the first step she was tackled by the metal beast.



Twilight watched in pure utter horror as her friend was tackled to ground. She tried to help but couldn't move as her mind was traumatised by the events that were unfolding before her. She watched as the dog pinned Applejacks hoofs to the ground, making her immobolized for the whole thing. Then the dog opened its huge jaws and snapped down on Applejacks right hoof, servering it and spraying a large amout of blood everywhere. Twilight continued to watch as her best friend was bleeding to death and she couldn't do jack shit. The dog then took one of its paws and extended a single claw from the rest. It instantly jabbed the single claw into Applejacks left eye and watched her scream in pain. Twilight stood there with tears falling from her eyes, she wanted to help but she couldn't do anything. The beast then jabbed Applejacks right eye which blinded her forever, it then removed its single claw and retracted it. What it did next was beyond traumatizing as the dog chewed down on Applejacks head ripped it clean off, revealing her spine.



Twilight was disgusted by the sight and wanted to look away. But no matter how hard she tried she just couldn't do it. The dog then spat Applejacks head out sending it into a burning house, then it picked up her body an started tearing it apart like it was some sort of toy until nothing was left. The aftermath of the torture resulted in limbs everywhere and bones lying around with guts lying on the floor in a bloody heap and torn up orange fur laying everywhere. Twilight closed her eyes as she decided she had had enough of this nightmare she turned around to face Pinkie, who was just blankly staring at the floor.



"Pinkie who did all this?" asked Twilight in a shaky voice, not caring that she was going to die because her time was up.



"That" replied Pinkie as she pointed her hoof behind Twilight.



Twilight turned around and spotted a large behemoth looking at the two of them, the fire provided little light in the night sky as the only thing you could describe the behemoth was its glowing red eyes. Other than it stood on three legs, its menacing red eye meant death to all it saw.



"Is it gonna kill us?" asked Twilight as she looked back at Pinkie but realised she wasn't standing in the same spot she was as before.



Before Twilight could speak the world around her went black. As Twilight woke up in a dark area with only a bright light shining at her, it didn't take her long to find our where she was. She was on a disectting table, and there was blood everywhere. As Twilight tried to move, a deep voice came from the distance.



"Move all you want, the chains will never break"



"Who are you?" croaked Twilight, she wanted to die since her friends are mostly dead and what use would the Elements be with dead bearers?



As Twilight tried to respond, the dark room became illuminated as the walls hung its trophies many prized kills. Instead of seeing animal heads Twilight found the bodies of her friend, or whatever was left off them hanging on the walls like some hunters trophy collection. As Twilight counted the bodies of her friends, she noticed only two were missing, her and Pinkies body weren‘t there yet. As Twilight scanned the trophies she noticed how oddly they were hung which made the place even more sicker. Rainbows body was hung upside down by her tail and her stomach was cut clean open, revealing the inside contents. Fluttershy's head was hanged like a normal dear head, only this time her eyes were lifeless and her face was all bloody. Rarity didn't even have a body, for her body was disposed off and only the skin was left. Since the skin off

Rarity remained, what better use then to use it as a display carpet. As for Applejack, only her bones were placed in a glass casing which didn't even offer much.



As Twilight finished staring at the trophies, she turned to her right and saw Pinkie lying unconccious on the table. Twilight tried alling her name but to no avail. As Twilight desperatel tried to call her friend,Pinkie was zapped with some kind of electric bolt which shocked her awake.



"Let us begin" came the deep voice again as machines started to power up.



"What did we ever do to you?" asked Twilight.



"I was given an order by my superior and I will not hesitate to carry out that order" replied the voice.



"What did we ever do to your superior?" asked Twilight again.



"He has his own reasons" said the voice again.



As soon as the voice finished it‘s last sentence, a saw dropped down infront of Pinkie and several tubes pointing lasers dropped down from the side. As the saw started spinning it quickly powered down as the voice said.



"Eh I‘ll make the pink one‘s death quick"



And with that the black tubes which shone lasers began melting the metal slab and with small movements and precise calculations, the lasers all moved at the same time and cut up Pinkie‘s body. As Pinkie tried to scream she was immediately cut off as the first laser cut through her voice box, muting her forever.



As Twilight watched her friend get instantly sliced to bits, she thought it was over. But as soon as she turned away Pinkie‘s body exploded, sending the servered limbs flying everywhere and splattering blood all over Twilight‘s mane and coat. As Twilight flinched at the smell and sight she saw a saw drop down in front of her followed by multiple knives. As Twilight tried to move away from the objects her mind raced with fear as she wanted to escape this horrible place but her body wouldn't even respond to her one bit. As the first knife came down to her face, it slowly taunted her by moving down and up her chest, searching for a good spot. As the knife kept taunting her it suddenly dug itself into Twilight‘s chest which resulted in lots of painful shrieks an screams. As Twilight kept on spazzing out due to the immense pain, the knife slowly made a cutting sound as it moved down her body cutting open her stomach and making the gap wider. As Twilight screamed at the sight, a metal hand reached from above and immediately plunged itself into Twilights stomach. Twilight could only spaz out from the pain again as her body kept on moving frantically. As the metal hand slowly moved inside, it quickly grabbed onto Twilights intestines and started pulling it out leaving a bloody mess it its wake. As Twilight kept screaming she could feel the life force being taken away from her, soon she would die and it would all be over. As Twilight screamed at the oncoming sight the hand removed the last bit of intestine before a circular saw appeard in front of her. The saw started spinning wildly and began moving closer to Twilights right hoof.



As Twilight tried to move her hoof away from the saw, she knew it was hopeless and braced for the oncoming pain. Twilight screamed in utter terror as she felt her right leg dissapear and a fountain of blood was gushing from her right area where her leg once was. She trembled as the blood kept on flowing out of her body and she started to see blackness. Just as she was about to pass out the remaning knives all simultaneously stabbed her dying body which caused Twilight to fade into blackness as the knives continued to stab her spazzed out body before going limp.



Twilight awoke with a heavy start. She looked at her surroundings and noticed she was still in the hospital with Dash. Only this time she was in a bed.



"It was just a nightmare" sighed Twilight as she rubbed her forehead.



"I am not experiencing that again" thought Twilight as she laid back down on the bed and continued to stare at the white ceiling.



"Just a nightmare" she said as she continued to calm herself down,"just a nightmare" as she drifted off to sleep again.
> Chapter 8
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Uhh..my head" groaned Rainbowdash as she sat upright in her bed rubbing her forehead.

As Rainbow rubbed her head, her vision reuturned to normal and the pain slowly started to go away. As Rainbow looked around the room she noticed herself in a white bed, with white blankets. As she continued to look around the room had 4 beds, two were unoccupied and the one next to her was occupied by a sleeping lavender pony. Rainbow looked at herself and found her right leg completely covered in bandages and her right wing was suspended in the air by a canvas. As she looked at the rest of her body, she found bruises and minor cuts on her left leg and chest, her rear legs worked fine and she could still blink and move her head properly. As she looked at the lavender pony next to her, realisation hit her as she was in a hospital and the pony next to her was Twilight.

"Twilight? Psst.... You awake?" whispered Rainbowdash, trying not to disturb anyone else outside.

As the purple Alicorn didn't move Rainbowdash assumed she was in deep sleep and bothered not to disturb her. As Rainbow kept searching for clues on how she got the bandages on her right leg she kept thinking back to last thing she saw.

"All I remember was that I was in the forest with Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy. But what were we doing there?" thought Rainbow as a frown formed on her face as she couldn't recall the events that happened.

Just then a very happy nurse Redheart came into the room wheeling in a cart with trays on top. She was surprised when she saw that Rainbowdash was awake.

"Hello Miss Dash, how are you?" began Nurse Redheart as she stopped the cart in front of her bed and walked up to her.

"I'm fine Nurse, just a bit dizzy thats all" replied Rainbow.

"Oh thank Celestia your all right! I thought you were never going to wake up" came Nurse Redheart.

"Wait?....What do you mean never wake up?" demanded Rainbow as she looked at Redheart with a serious look.

"Oh I forgot to tell you" said Redheart.

"How long was I out Nurse? Tell me, How long?" said Rainbowdash with a deadpanned look.

"You have been out for 4 days now, when you first came in, we thought you weren't going to make it. The amount of blood you lost was so high, you would be considered dead. And the injuries that your right leg sustained was almost near impossible to fix. But after some extreme magic and good old medicine we managed to fill you up with blood and fixed whatever was left of your leg" said Redheart informatively.

"4 days....4 days....I have been out for 4 days? How could this be? What in Equestria happened to me?" thought Rainbow as she looked at the blanket in a shocked expression. She soon snapped out of her state when she heard a yawn come from the next bed. Immediately turning her head, she saw Twilight sitting up right and rubbing her eyes with a disheveled mane and messy fur.

Twilight couldn't believe her eyes when she looked to her right as she saw one of her closest friends staring at her. She expected to see Rainbow in the same position but here she was looking right at her.

"Rainbow? Is that you?" said Twilight in a shocked voice.

"Well duh...Of course its me. Im the fastest flyer in Equestria after all" replied Rainbow who then crossed her arms angrily at Twilight.

"Oh just making sure" began Twilight as she moved off the bed and wrapped her in one big hug,"I missed you, its been quiet without you around"

"Heh, well I'm back and soon Ill be as good as new"

"Well before you can do any major flying, you'll have to give that wing another days rest before you can leave" said nurse Redheart from the other side of the room.

"Can't I just walk?" asked Rainbow.

"Unless you want your wounds to break open, then sure, go ahead. The magic still hasn't taken full affect yet and it its still barely even half way" replied nurse Redheart.

"And how long do I have to wait to till I can fully walk again?" Asked Rainbow again

"Give yourself another 3 more days then, and if the healing rate is statisfactional then you may leave" said nurse Redheart.

"Uhhh guess ill be stuck in here for awhile" whined Rainbow as she laid back down on the bed.

"Its not that bad, besides Ill bring the girls over later and we can all talk through the night" beamed Twilight.

"Eh it might work, considering if I don't fall asleep that is" said Rainbow before stifling a laugh.

"Well we'll see, anyway see you late dash" said Twilight before leaving the room, which was then followed by silence.

"Well I must be getting back to my shift," said nurse Redheart as she walked towards the door,"and Ill notify the doctor in charge that your awake,he'll be glad to you up and about"

"Ok nurse" replied Rainbow as she waved goodbye to her as the door closed.

For the rest of the morning and afternoon all Rainbow did was sleep or just stare at the ceiling and imagine herself in situations that would never happen. The doctor would visit her every now and then to check on her wounds, especially her right leg. Rainbow cursed herself as she forgot to ask Twilight how all off this happened. As Rainbow kept  asking nurse Redheart and doctor questions about her wounds, they would only tell her how she arrived in her battered state since they didn't even know what happened to her.

"Oh great, tomorrow is gonna be the same experience" grumbled Rainbow as she looked out the window at the setting sun.

Just when things started to become peaceful, the door to Rainbows room burst open as 4 ponies came charging at her and skidded to a halt in front of her. Rainbow, who was surprised by this sort of thing, raised her hoofs and shielded her face from the oncoming invaders. When she felt nothing happen to her, she removed her hoofs and to her surprise, found four familiar faces staring at her with smiles of joy on their faces.

"How ya doin partner?" asked Applejack, who was the closest friend of Rainbowdash.

"Never been better Aj" replied Rainbow as they both hugged. As soon as they broke the hug, Rainbow was overcome by a pink mare who seemed to choke the living daylights out of her.

"Ok.....pinkie....I....can't....breath...*gasp..." gasped Rainbow as she gasped for air,"jeez Pinkie, try not to kill me next time"

"Oh silly Rainbow, its been quiet ever since you were admitted to the hospital. And since your the weather captain, who is in charge of the weather team when their captain isn't around?" asked Pinkie.

"Ummm....no one?" replied Dash

"Exactly! The weather has been in bad shape and my parties are affected by it. About time to returned to action" beamed Pinkie.

"In a few more days Pinkie, a few more days" said Rainbow.

"I'm glad your safe Rainbow, me and the critters have been taking care of tank for you while you were in the hospital" said Fluttershy in her shy voice.

"Thanks Flutters, appreciate it" said Rainbow.

"Well darling I must say, chasing after you was a hassle, eapecially for my mane and fur. But Ill do anything for my friend, even if it means messing up my style" said Rarity as she made her way to the foot of the bed.

"Well, thank you Rares, for risking yourself to save me" said Rainbow.

"Oh don't thank me dear, you should thank Twilight. After all she was the one that teleported us out of that horrid place" began Rarity as she flinched at the memory of the everfree forest.

"Well I passed out shortly after, even though I walked perfectly fine when we got here" said a familiar voice from the door.

All heads turned and standing at the doorway was none other than Princess Twilight Sparkle carrying what seemed to be books.

"Hey Twilight!" exclaimed Rainbow from the other side of the room even though they were 9ft apart.

"I brought books so you would pass the time tomorrow" said Twilight as she placed the bag next to Rainbows bed.

"Finally at least something I could dwell on tomorrow" replied Rainbow.

"So then, mind tellin us what sorta injury ya got there?" asked Applejack who was pointing her hoof at Rainbows right leg.

"That reminds me Twi" began Rainbow as she looked at her egg head friend,"how did I get these anyway? I don't remember getting them"

"You mean you don't remember?" asked Twilight.

"Yep" replied Rainbow.

"Do you really want to hear it?" asked Twilight cautiously.

"Go ahead, I think we all want to hear it" said Rainbow as she looked around her friends who nodded.

"Well guess Ill have to tell it then, but I can only recall what I saw" said Twilight.

"Ok so here...." began Twilight as the story went on and on through the night as she didn't leave out any detail and explained the events that happened in briefly.

"Wow...never ah never thought she would be beaten up that badly" said Applejack who broke the silence and looked at Rainbow, who was still processing what happened.

"Speaking of those things, I wonder where they are right now?" asked Rarity as she looked outside the window into the night sky.

Meanwhile in the middle of a grassy and mountainous terrain, the London Monitor was busy climbing up the steep slope in quick succession. As the Monitor reached the top, it brought the rest of itself up and scanned the remaining path left until its destination. It had been 5 hours of crossing the desert and grassy terrain and now it changed to mountains. As the Monitor began moving forward again it scanned paths that would lead into the city that were big enough for it. As the monitor came around the Mountain it could finally see the castle. The castle seemed to be suspended on the side of the mountain and had a waterfall on the side of it. There was castle deep within the complex city. The city itself was actually bigger up close, and there were many levels of entry. The only difference now was that the castle was covered with a pink shield. As the Monitor observed the shield, it compared that to its own and found that the shield protecting this city was fairly weak to its standards.

As the Monitor scanned for a way in, it saw what seems to be train tracks that lead to the place. As the Monitor began climbing again, it detected that its commander was awake.

"Good morning sir" it began.

"Oh *yawn Good morning Herr Monitor" replied Kessler as he rubbed his eyes sheepishly.

"We are close to our destination sir" it said.

Upon hearing that immediately, Kessler shot upright and looked at the screens. Sure enough there was a castle alright and they were heading right for it.

"Crap! I haven't even showered yet!" exclaimed Kessler as he removed his coat.

"No need sir" it said, as a silver tube popped up on the table end.

It read"Auto space cleansing shower, for the use of space necessities"

"What is this?" asked Kessler as he finished reading the bottle.

"It is a special type of spray that cleans your body and freshens up your clothes, its equivalent to taking a shower and having clean clothes daily" it said.

"So how do I use it?" asked Kessler.

"Press the button at the top like a normal spray and spray it all over your body, including your hair" it said.

"Maybe next time Ill use it, do you have a shower?" asked Kessler curiously.

"The decontamination room serves as a multipurpose bathroom, please step inside" it began.

As Kessler opened the door to the control room and exited he opened a door to the left just outside the control room, and sure enough there was a shower and even a toilet.

"Great, guess Ill make my self comfortable" he said as he closed the door and did his business.

After 40 minutes, Kessler came out of the shower area and entered the command room. He went over to the weapons locker and opened the extra locker next to it. Inside was a fresh pair of uniforms and two standard officers trench coat. As Kessler put on his new clothes he asked the Monitor where to dump his dirty ones.

"Where shall I put this?" he asked.

"In the chute, I shall take care of the rest" it replied.

As Kessler dumped the clothes in the chute the went and collected his silenced pistol that was lying on the table with 5 clips lying next to it. As Kessler began mounting the clips onto his belt, he holstered the pistol to his quick draw pouch allowing him to draw quicker. As Kessler went back to the locker, he swung it open and found a modified assault rifle 1960 with rocket launcher upgrade. A shotgun with its standard buck and ricocheting ammo. There was and AR marksman rifle with the plasma rounds, only it was heavily modified as the battery last longer than the regular ones, there was grenades and a tons of ammunition for the weapons inside that locker. Not that Kessler had to worry since there was another locker full of ammunition. As Kessler picked the assault rifle, he grabbed 4 mags and placed them on the small side table. He loaded one mag in and put the rest on his ammo belt. 

"Well thats defense done" he said.

As Kessler returned his attention back to the screen, he noticed the footsteps of the Monitor had stopped.

"Monitor why have we stopped?" asked Kessler.

"We are here already, Leutenant" it replied.

"So have we made contact yet?" he asked.

"I think were about to find out" it said.

Normally Shining Armor would be over looking battle plans and planning troop movements. But what do you do when a giant behemoth comes knocking on your door one fine morning while your busy sipping tea? Of course you panic like shit. But for the two sisters, their protection came first as they were royalty. As Shining casted a Shield over Canterlot in hopes of stopping the giant. He quickly raised all the alarms in the garrison and prepped them for battle. Thinking it was some sort of Griffon machine, all the soldiers armed themselves with  crossbows and bow and arrows. As the soldiers got a good look at the giant, they literally shat their pants at its sight for it was huge. If they mean huge it was huge! As the machine got closer, the ground shook beneath its mighty steps. The Wonderbolts and the Royal Pegasi Air Force encircled the giant and set up positions to flank it.

As the thing got closer and closer, it started climbing the Mountain side with ease and within minutes it was already at one of the train entry points. As the giant came to a full rest, Shining Armor could only gulp as the giant stared in one direction bit felt like it was watching them all. In one brave notion Shining Armor stepped forward and cleared his throat.

"YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO SURRENDER AND COME QUIETLY! IF YOU RESIST YOU WILL BE DEALT UPON BY DEADLY FORCE!" he yelled hoping that it would hear him at least.

"Did you get that sir?" The Monitor asked.

"Yep, loud and fucking clear" Kessler replied.

"What now?" The Monitor asked.

"Hmmm I don't intent to lay down arms since I am in a hostile territory, so these ponies can go fuck themselves for all I care" Kessler said.

"He started counting down sir" said The Monitor.

"10"

"9"

"8"

"7"

"Guess it time for something crazy" said Kessler as a plan formed in his head.

"5"

"4"

"Move on my mark"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"NOW"

"YOU HAVE NOT COMPLIED, YOUR ARE NOW DECLARED AS A HOSTILE, LEAVE NOW" yelled Shining as he continued to stare at the machine. Then to his utter horror the machine moved forward and started walking towards the castle. He quickly ordered his men to clear the civilians out and told the remaining forces to follow that machine. As it stopped outside the palace doors, It adjusted itself and stopped in place as it resumed staring at the door.

Then the doors flung open and the two princesses stood proud and tall, but something was odd about the princess of the sun for her mane was fiery red and glowed like the sun and her horn was charging up a great energy ball.

"This should be fun" the Monitor thought as it watched the energy rise in the ball. It though off countless things it could use with that energy or test its armor against it.

After what seemed like minutes Princess Celestia spoke in her royal Canterlot voice.

"Begone Demon!" and fired her energy blast at the thing. From there on out all hell broke loose.


> Chapter 9
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

BOOM!! as the great fiery energy ball hit the Monitor and engulfed it in a huge flame. As the fire kept on burning, the two sisters and the royal guard watched in awe as the raw fire power of the sun goddess punished its opponent. The royal guard and the citizens who witnessed the great power, all cheered in joy as their great leaders had saved them from a great threat. As the citizens and royal guard watched the burning behemoth, It seemed to almost lifeless when they first saw it. It didn't move one inch nor did it flinch at the great energy ball. 

"Jesus Christ! that was some firepower!" exclaimed Kessler as he picked up the fallen assault rifle. The energy ball had rocked the entire cockpit,  sending objects sprawling to floor while Kessler held onto the chair for dear life.

"Damage report!" yelled Kessler as he stood up from his seat and checked various panels, which seemed to all flash green.

"No damage sustained sir" The Monitor replied.

"How? How is that possible? That blast was enough to topple you over. Just How?" began Kessler as he looked at the screen confusingly.

"I had some minor upgrades to myself sir" The Monitor replied.

"Like what?" asked Kessler.

"To put it simply, I can now absorb all sorts of energy blast that get shot at me. I can now divert all that energy to my power core and weapons to give out more damage" it said informingly.

"And what just happened now?" he asked.

"When the blast hit me, I absorbed all the energy and diverted it to my cores. Which gave me an energy boost. I have observed the blast and calculated that if I hadn't absorbed it, we would still be standing and I would've taken minimal damage due to my complex armor" The Monitor replied.

"Uh huh" said Kessler while nodding his head slowly.

"Permission to engage sir?" The Monitor asked.

"Negative, we probably just scared the shit out of them" replied Kessler.

"What do we do then?"

"Lets try talking to them, see how it works out" said Kessler as he got up from his chair and began checking the weapons he had.

"What shall I do in the meantime?" it asked.

"I don't know? Surprise them" said Kessler as he resumed checking his assault rifle.

"Roger" it replied.

As the outside crowd began to disappear. The lifeless behemoth started moving which startled everyone in the vicinity. As expected people started panicking and began running for cover as the royal guard began assembling its troops to escort the civilians to safety.

"Impossible! How is it still moving?!" exclaimed Celestia as she stared at the giant behemoth which started to move.

"It wasn't enough Tia! We need the elements for this sort of situation!" exclaimed Luna.

"Princess please stand back" said Captain Windstrike as he and his platoon formed a defensive wall in front the Princess.

As the Monitor started walking again, it began turning its upper body to scan the perimeter and to see if it didn't step on any civilians. As the Monitor stopped in its path it activated its speakers and said.

"Attention all civilians return to your homes, all army personal lay down your arms and stand down. Refuse and you shall be met with deadly force" as it bellowed.

As the Monitor finished giving its orders, the royal guard and Shining Armor looked at each other with confusion, some of the guards immediately dropped their weapons to the ground and put their hoofs up. Shining Armor looked around and saw all his troops looking at him for orders. Going for the rational, Shining Armor laid down his sword. Seeing their captain complying to the giants orders, the rest of the guards dropped their sword and spears alike. As soon as the Guards dropped their weapons the giant spoke up again.

"I would request the Leaders present themselves" it bellowed.

Not a moment too soon it said that, a bright flash appeared and the royal sisters appeared in front Shining Armor with stern looks. Kessler looked at the screen and eyed the two Large ponies. Of all the ponies he has seen, these two were quite larger and both had horn and wings. The largest of them had a white coat and a colorful mane that seemed to flow in one direction even though there wasn't any wind blowing. The next one had a dark blue coat and a deep blue mane that also seemed to flow in a random direction. As Kessler eyed the two Leaders he had a hard time believing that these two were leaders of these nations, but then again the bug bitch was a leader of some weird looking insect hive. "No surprises there" thought Kessler. 

Just as Kessler was about to sit down, the white pony spoke up.

"What is it you desire beast?" asked Celestia as she looked at it sternly.

"Tell it we wish to negotiate" said Kessler.

"We wish to have negotiations" It replied.

Celestia sighed in relief as the giant spoke about negotiations, "very well if you come to talk then you are more then welcome" she said.

"Well that was quick" mused Kessler.

"Where shall we begin discussions?" the giant asked.

"We can begin right now" said Celestia courteously.

"My commander would like to meet you in person" it said.

Celestia's face turned into confusion as it said " commander". Was there a pony or another species controlling this beast?

"Wait....What do you mean by commander?" asked Celestia in confusion.

"I am merely a war machine, My commander shall speak to you and tell you more about me" it bellowed.

As Kessler slung his assault rifle over his shoulder, he double checked the magazines and his coat. He made sure he was spic and span before presenting himself to these leaders. As Kessler left took one final look at the control center he gave one final order before departing.

"I want the Panzerhunds as my escorts, and If all hell breaks loose, you know what to do" said Kessler as he exited the control room.

As Kessler made his way up and out of the Monitor he was hit face first by the fresh wind. He took a deep breath and sucked in the fresh air. As Kessler looked at the sky, he spotted many pegasi eyeing him while holding their spears in front of them, ready to pierce their targets. As Kessler peered over the edge and saw the two attack pods detach from the Monitor and landed with a heavy thud. Then the back hatches opened and a Panzerhund came out from each hatch. Soon the pods fired up their thrusters again and reattached themselves. As the ladder dropped down to the ground, Kessler began climbing down. As he reached the ground, he was greeted with two very excited Panzerhunds. 

"What are those things Tia?" asked Luna as the two of them stared at the quadruped metal beings. Not only can this thing absorb the power of the sun, it can launch crafts that can fly without wings. And now it can launch metal beings, "Just what are these things?" Celestia thought as she continued to stare at the metal beasts. Just then a bipedal like creature came out from behind the large legs carrying a black stick on its back and was clad all over in weird clothing. As Celestia continued to observe the bipedal creature, the two metal beasts started to follow it and acted like its bodyguard which seemed to scan the are with an aggressive look. As the bipedal creature got closer to Celestia, her guards tensed up as the metal beasts growled at them. 

Kessler motioned the dogs to follow him and as soon as he rounded the leg, he was greeted with the two leaders and her guards at their backs, which seemed to eye them like hawks. As Kessler kept on walking towards them he tensed up as the Panzerhunds growled at the rulers. As Kessler finally stopped no more than 3ft in front of them he could assess their full height. The large white unicorn stood no more than 5'10, which was the around Kessler's chest as he stood at a proud 6'2. As Kessler observed the rest of the ponies in front of him, he turned his attention towards the dark blue unicorn which seemed to stand around 5'7 which was around his stomach. As the two of them stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity, Kessler finally broke the silence by saying.

"Umm Hello?" 

Celestia was taken aback by the creature,  apparently she thought of it as a monkey but was surprised as it spoke. It had a hairless face and was standing at an estimated 6 feet. It had a muscular feature indicating it was of male gender.

"Hello there sir" replied Celestia

"Are you the ruler of this land?"  he asked.

"Why yes, I am Princess Celestia ruler of Equestria and this is my sister, Princess Luna co-ruler of Equestria" said the Princess as she pointed a hoof at her sister, who was the dark blue pony.

"An honor to meet you your majesty," as he bowed down,"May I ask? What sort of race are you?"

"Why me and my sister are both Alicorn's, we have four races in the land of Equestria, there are the earth ponies who mostly specialize in labor, there are the unicorns who work mostly with magic and specialize in it, then there are the pegasi who control the weather system they bring rain and snow to our lands, and lastly there are the Alicorn's, there are only 4 Alicorn's that currently exist in Equestria including me and my sister. We Alicorn's are the highest beings there is and we each have our own field of magic. For example I raise the sun and my sister raises the moon.

Kessler immediately froze in place as he heard that these two could raise the sun and moon, "Riigggggghhhhhttttttt" thought Kessler as he cringed at what he heard. 

"You both raise the sun and moon?" said Kessler as he pointed a finger at both of them.

"Pretty much, why?" asked Celestia.

"Well Princess where I come from, the sun and stars do their own thing" said Kessler informingly.

"We didn't get your name strange one" said Celestia.

"Apologies your majesty, my name is William von Kessler, officer of the Third Reich and I come from a country called Germany.

"What sort of race are you?" asked Princess Luna.

"I am a human Princess, I come from the planet earth" Kessler said.

"And how did you exactly end up in Equestria?" asked Celestia.

"Well I am not so sure Princess, I am think we were some how teleported here and thats my theory" Kessler replied.

"Hmm well some one used a summoning spell last week, which means someone summoned you here" said Celestia.

"Well I would like to return to my world, for I have duties to attend to Princess" said Kessler.

"I will try to find ways to return you to your world human, but for now let us learn more about our race, how about we go inside?" motioned Celestia as she started walking towards the main castle doors.

"Why of course Princess" began Kessler as he followed Celestia from behind with the two Panzerhunds.

"Please just call me Celestia, no need for formalities" replied Celestia.

As the two large doors opened Kessler stepped inside the palace and was greeted by full on royalty, the ceilings extended as far as the eyes could see. The floors were all lined with some sort of special fabric that looked really soft, the walls were all painted white and the windows glistened with sparkling glasses. "The doors seem to be huge enough to fit in a Heavy Robot!" thought Kessler as he walked past a huge set of doors.

"So tell me Kessler, what is your job? You said you were an officer. An officer of what?" asked Celestia.

"Well I serve in the German army under the Third Reich, I am a 1st Leutenant of the Wolfpack Squad. I serve as a justice protector" said kessler informingly.

"Ah I see," replied Celestia while turning her head around to look at one of the Panzerhunds,"What are those things?"

"These<" while pointing both hands at the Panzerhunds,"Are Panzerhunds, they are our attack dogs of the army and one of the most terrifying ones we have" said Kessler proudly.

"So.....they are dogs?" asked Celestia confusingly.

"Yes,Yes they are" replied Kessler.

Just then a messenger, appeared in front Celestia and said.

"Princess, grave news has come from the northern front! We need you and Princess and Luna in the war room" he exclaimed before he resumed bowing.

"Excuse me while I handle this matter, Please feel free to stay In the guest room. I shall contact you later" said Celestia before disappearing in a flash.

Kessler stared blankly at the spot where the princess once stood, he quickly snapped out of his trance when a guard nudged his legs. Kessler was startled at the sight but soon calmed down as the Guard motioned him to follow him. As Kessler rounded several corners and corridors he finally arrived at his destination. The guard pushed open the door and Kessler made his way inside. He found a large bed, a bathroom and a door leading to the balcony outside. As the door closed behind him he was left with the two Panzerhunds inside the large room. Moving lazily, Kessler popped his rifle next to the bed and removed his boots before lying on the bed.

"Ahhhhhh, feels good" said Kessler while feeling the softness of the bed.

As Kessler was busy lounging on the bed, the two Panzerhunds decide to find their own spots in the room and decided to settle down for the time being. As Kessler laid happily on his bed, he forced himself not to sleep, but the softness soon overpowered him and he fell into a deep sleep. He didn't care what happened next he just wanted to sleep.
> Chapter 10
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

*knock knock
*knock knock

"Alright Im coming! yelled Kessler as he rolled of the bed and landed on the floor with a heavy thud. He picked himself up and walked towards the door groggily while yawning. Kessler opened the door and was met by the same guard who escorted him here earlier on.

"The Princess has requested your presence at the dinner table, please follow me" said the Guard with a nervous look in his eyes.

"Alright let me get my things" groaned Kessler as he strecthed his back and extended his arms in the air before closing the door. He walked over to the side of the bed and swung his assault rifle over his shoulder. He then proceeded to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror.

"Jesus Christ I look like shit!" exclaimed Kessler as he looked for the knobs to turn on the tap. He looked down and found only one dial, he turned it and the water turned on. Statisfied with the bathroom accomidation, he then put his hands in the water which shocked his tired body awake as the coldness went through his hands and body. He then scooped a handful of water and splashed it onto his face. Kessler immediately gained conciousness again and grabbed a nearby towel and wiped his face. He then exited the bathroom and whistled a high pitch whistle to awaken the Panzerhunds. The moment he whistled, the two Panzerhunds awoke immediatley from their slumber and stood to attention in their aggresive stance. Kessler went to the door and turned around and said.

"Be on your best behaviour boys" said Kessler as he looked at the two dogs who only nodded in response.

"Right lets go" said Kessler as he clapped his hands together. He opened the door and found his escort standing at the side who immediately noticed him and motioned him to follow. Kessler merely complied and stepped outside the large room, he waited for the Panzerhunds to exit and closed the door behind him. He then proceeded to follow the guard through the hallways. The walk was silent and the only thing that could be heard was the loud thumping footsteps of the Panzerhunds which seemed to echo the large palace. As Kessler arrived at his destination, his escort stood to one side and opened the door for him. Inside the room was a large dining table filled with food from end to end. As Kessler made his way inside, he was greeted by Princess Celestia who was sitting at the far end of the table.

"Please have a seat" motioned Celestia to Kessler who merely complied by sitting on the chair at the end of the table.

As Kessler sat down in his chair, he could only marvel at the design of the dining room. The chairs were made of some kind of wood and the cushion was really soft. The ceilings were grandly decorated and the in the Middle hung a chandelier. Kessler was busy admiring the structure when he didn't notice his food was being served by the maid ponies. 

"Ahem, so how was your time in the guest room William?" asked Celestia who only got a shocked response from the man.

Kessler was startled, for he hasn't been called William in a long time. As far as memory goes only his superiors call him William in private.

"It was fine Celestia, the beds were great" smiled Kessler as he picked up a fork and knife.

"Glad you enjoyed it, now then let us eat" began Celestia as she levitated her own fork and knife with her magic.

Kessler began digging into his food, there was hash brown and fish and mostly vegetables. But it wasn't troublesome as Kessler continued eating more fish and Hash brown. He grabbed some lettuce and began mixing them together with the fish. He pierced it all together and ate it all together.

"So uhm tell me, what is that big giant that you came out from?" began Celestia as she bit into a celery.

"Well for starters," began Kessler as he swallowed his food before beginning,"that giant out there, is called the London Monitor. It is the great defender of the city of London and is known to punish criminals and rebels"

"So exactly what does it do?" asked Celestia curiously.

"Well It is a machine bullt for war, to put it bluntly we made it for the London Rebellion which caused panic for the civilians and army personal. So in turn we built this thing and hunted down the rebels that so dared to oppose us. After then it is used as a patrol unit for London. But we didn't stop there for it saw action on the russian front, the Monitor destroyed a large Russian battalion consisting of infantry, armor and planes. It even captured a small city for us which allowed us to launch a surprise attack on the remaining Russian forces" said Kessler infromingly.

"Who are these "Russians"? Exactly" asked Celestia, who was more curios in Learning about these humans. Twilight would flip if she found out about this.

"They are our greates enemies who despise us, they are greedy and only want land for themselves, or so thats how I was taught in school" replied Kessler before stuffing another Hash brown in his mouth.

"I see, this London Monitor is quite dangerous indeed" mused Celestia.

"Oh you should see it when it uses its super beam! Thats when its really dangerous" exclaimed Kessler who seemed excited about mentioning the super laser.

"Are these "dogs" machines or living things?" She asked.

"They aren't made of any kind of flesh, they are pure metal beasts that are made to kill and serve the reich. They have the mind of a dog, but also have a very adaptive system, making them even more deadly" he awnsered.

"I see, and exactly how powerful are these dogs?" She asked again, this time with more curiousity.

"Well these bad boys can only be put down by heavy fire power. Small arms to medium arms don't work bugger at all. Even some enrgy weapons still can't put them down. These boys are tough bastards to kill" he replied proudly.

"Very interesting, is there more than these dogs?" asked Celestia, who was now beaming with questions.

"Yes there are more machines aboard the Monitor" he replied courtly.

Celestia could almost squeal in joy as she heard there was more. She just absolutely marveled at the humans creation. They could make non living animals and still make it act like one, "Oh Luna you are missing out on alot of things" thought Celestia.

The moment Celestia thought of that, Luna appeared in the dining room with a tired look.

"Oh Luna, please come dine with us" said Celestia as she motioned her sister to sit down in one of the seats.

As Luna approached the seats she sat down and began grabbing the nearest set of plates an started eating.

"Wow your hungry tonight" said Celestia as she looked at Luna, who continued to eat greedily.

"Planning is tiring work sister. Fortunately the northern front has been stabalized and reserve troops are being sent there immediately. Although things don't look good in the west, for and invasion force by the Minotaurs is immenent" said Luna who continued to stare at her food.

"I see, it seems las pegasus is going to affected badly then" said Celestia with a grim look on her face.

"Maybe we could request more allies?" asked Luna skeptically.

"I doubt anyone would be helping us Luna, the zebra nation has closed off its borders and have isolated themselves from neighbouring factions. The only option I see is a diplomatic solution" replied Celestia.

"Are you insane Tia?! Those Monsters will never resort to peace! The things they did on the northern front was absolutely horrible! They shant be trusted nor negotiated with!" Luna said angrily.

"Calm down sister, we have a guest here. We shall discuss further matters later" said Celestia in a calm tone.

"Uhm do tell me, what is your quarrel with the Grifffons exactly?" asked Kessler from the far end of the table.

"Well you see, the Griffons wan't more land that is rightfully ours, they wan't all the resources up north so they can fuel their growing empire and build more of their weapons. And if that wasn't enough, they have declred war on us which means that they will take all of Equestria if needed be" said Celestia.

"Uhuh, and what about those Minotaurs?" Kessler asked.

"They are one of the allies with the Griffons who make weapons for them, not only that but they are the backbone of the Griffons weapons. The Ram's is another ally of the Griffons they are the ones who make engines that power the Griffons war machines, this type of technological breakthrough is quite astonishing even for my scientist in Canterlot" said Celestia.

"Right, well that covers my history questions for now. So tell me Princess, how exactly do you plan on winning this war?" asked Kessler with a serious look.

Celestia almost jumped at the question,"Well, we don't have any plans yet to win really. But we hope to end this war as soon as possible" replied Celestia.

"Well it seems you are not specialized in warfare right? And how strong is your military?" asked Kessler.

"Your right, we are not war mongers, rather we are a peaceful race. As for our Military might our current standing of troops ready to fight are around 2,000 all in all, we just recieved an extra 2,000 recruits today who will begin training immediately and they will be placed on the borders that will likely be attacked" said Celestia informingly.

"Well what are your weapons exactly?" Kessler asked.

"Well, we have swords, spears, crossbows, lancers, ballistas, battle wagons, explosive orbs and magic" chimed Luna.

"Well..........Are you aware of what kind of weapons your enemies have?" He asked.

"Yes" replied Celestia.

"Well then Princess, since you have medieval weaponry at your disposal............chances of you wining this war is 0-100" said Kessler with a deadpanned look.

"What do you mean? We have the largest standing armies of this land and we the rulers have the ability to raise the sun and moon. How would we lose?" asked Celestia at the absurd question.

"Well for starters, you are all outclassed and out gunned. If you are just going to send your troops to the frontlines in front of those advanced weapons, your troops are going to become meatshields instead. Two, you raise the sun and all but then again it wouldn't do any good if the enemy finds another way to raise it, rendering you useless and executing you anyway. And finally you arent a war mongering race which puts you at a disadvantge since you all have basic knowledge on fighting and your enemy has more knowledge on it? So my point is you are going to lose, if you dont find help soon" said Kessler grimly.

"He does have a point sister, we haven't been to war in over a thousand years. Tis a bad time indeed do declare war, and Im afraid that our economy and our food supply is another problem as well" said Luna with a nervous look.

Celestia pondered for long time in her chair. She was busy evaluating the good and bad points of this war and sadly the bad points were more than the good. Equestria had to worry about a famine if the war continued for more than 10 years that is. Population growth is another thing, if Equestria started losing land, then where would the fleeing ponies go? All these thoughts kept swirling in Celestia's head before Luna snapped her out her trance.

"Sister I believe, maybe we should ask for help from somepony who specializes in this sort of thing" beamed Luna as the she mentioned her idea.

"Who would that be exactly?" asked Celestia.

"Him Tia" Luna said pointing her hoof at Kessler.

"Me?" Kessler blurted out as the hoof pointed at him.

"Yes Leutenant, you seem to specialize in this sort of thing" replied Luna.

"But I can't help you, I don't even know what to do with my life yet!" exclaimed Kessler.

"Please help us, pretty please" said Luna who now made puppy dog eyes which made her even more cuter.

"Damn it these eyes are fucking cute!" he thought, He took a deep breath and sighed,"All right fine Ill help you"

"Huzzah!" exclaimed Luna as jumped in the air. Celestia could only afford a smile as she looked at their new found ally.

"So when do we begin plans Leutenant?" asked Luna as she sat back down in her seat.

"Well then first I must find a place to park the London Monitor and I shall do a demonstration on what we have in store for our enemies" replied Kessler.

"You may use the royal fields to hold the demonstration and park your Monitor there" said Celestia.

"Thank you your highness, If you will excuse me I must tell this to the Monitor" said Kessler as he got up and walked out of the area.

As Kessler walked out of the dinning room he walked towards the end of the hallway an fished out his communications headset.

"Monitor do you read over?"

"Affirmative" came the german voice over the head set


"How did the negotiations go?" it asked.

"Negotiations went fine, the only problem is, that we now hav to help these ponies win their war" said Kessler over the comms.

"Understood, how shall I be of assistance?" It asked.

"Ill meet you later, you will have to move to the royal fields to stay there for the meantime. Oh and prep the pods, we're going to do a weapons demonstration tomorrow" Kessler said.

"Understood" it replied.

"Good" said Kessler as he turned of the comms and stuffed it back in his coat.

"Tia who will be attending tomorrow?" asked Luna as the teo of them were already walking towards the dining room exit.

"I have sent a message to Twilight and the captains down in the barracks, they shall be witnessing tomorrows performance" said Celestia calmly.

"I see, and how about the ponies who will escort the so called Monitor?" asked Luna curiously

"I have already notified them, they shall wait for Kessler to move when he wishes to do so" informed Celestia.

"Well then lets go" said Luna as she and Celestia started walking to the royal field.

As Kessler found his way out of the palace with the Panzerhunds, he told them to follow behind the Monitor and not kill anybody. As Kessler began climbing the ladder the cold nights wind blew against his hands which made him shudder. A Kessler reached the top he was greeted by two pegasi guards.

"We have been told to escort you to the royal fields" said one of them.

Kessler nodded in response and the two of then took off towards the sky. Kessler fished out his commlink and said.

"All right Monitor just follow those pegasi and try not to step on anybody, including our own Panzerhunds" exlaimed Kessler as the Monitor started moving forward.

As the Monitor powered up its mighty legs the ground shook with terror as it started walking. The loud echo of its feet could heard throughout Canterlot. As the Monitor rounded the castle it stopped and looked at the area. The royal fields was about 2km wide and long, big enough for weapons testing and training.

As the Monitor made its way to the middle of the field it came to a full abrupt stop and powered itself down and was put in standby mode. It detached the two attack pods and they both landed on the ground with a heavy thud. The pods both remained in standby mode and the Guard Robots inside were all ready to launch. Kessler started climbing down from the Monitor and reached the groud in no time. At the bottom he was greeted by the two princesses.

"Ah hello your majesties, this here is the mighty London Monitor" beamed Kessler as he pointed a hand towards the giant.

"By faust Tia! Its really big!" exclaimed Luna a she continued to look in awe at the Monitor.

"I seem so tiny, guess if you really stand close to it. You seem like an ant" mused Celestia.

"What are those?" asked Luna as she pointed a hoof at the pods.

"These are the Mk IV attack pods. Capable of deploying troops and robots alike. It was reconverted to carry larger robots such as the Guard Robots, which are now stored inside of those things" informed Kessler.

"I see, can we look at these Guard Robots?" asked Luna.

"Tomorrow Princess, everything shall be revealed tomorrow" replied Kessler.

"Well its getting late now, and Luna you must attend to your night court duties while I overlook the battle plans for tonight" began Celestia.

"I nearly forgot about that, well I must be going thou shall not be lazy in the line of duty" began Luna as she disappeared in a blue flash.

"Well I must be attending to my duties as well, my student and her friends will be arriving during the night. I hope nothing bad happens to them" Celestia said with a worried look on her face.

"Ah they will be fine, I'm sure of it" said Kessler in a cheery tone.

"Well I shall see you tomorrow then William" began Celestia as she disappeared in a white flash.

"Well then I must be going back to my room then, *whistles, come one you two lets go" said Kessler as he began walking to his room with the Panzerhunds.

"Spike?! Where are my quills and paper?!" yelled Twilight as she kept on rummaging through her things.

"I already have them!" yelled Spike from the other side of the  room.

"Do we have everything else?" asked Twilight, she wanted to record everything on this new species that her mentor had mentioned in the letter regarding her presence in Canterlot.

As Spike took out the list of things he skimmed it over and over again and finally said,"Yep, we got everything"

"Good lets get moving, the train leaves in half an hour" said Twilight as she levitated the luggage and let Spike handle the rest.

As the two of them walked through Ponyville, the walk was nice and quiet as the cool night breeze blew in the night. When the pair finally arrived at the station, they were surprised to see all their friends there already waiting for them.

"Wow, you guys were quick" said Twilight as she trotted up to them.

"Well we hardly had anything to bring of course, the castle provides most of them" said Rarity with a smile.

"I wonder who were gonna meet! Maybe its gonna be an alien that likes parties! Oh my gosh! I haven't decided what sort of party to throw for him/her!" exclaimed Pinkie as she bounced in the air excitedly.

"Well ah didn't expect anythin good ta happen durin war time" said Applejack in a interested tone.

"Well I can't wait to meet it, oh the joys of seeing a new species is beyond unimaginable" said Twilight joyfully.

"I winder if it will be awesome" said Rainbowdash who was using crutches for her forward hoofs since they haven't been healed yet.

*Train Whistle

"Look theres the train" said Twilight as the train came around the corner and halted to a stop.

"All aboard for Canterlot!" yelled the conductor, as passengers who were also waiting on platform started to board for Canterlot.

As Twilight and her friends made their way over to the first car for royals only the plopped down all their luggage in the compartment area and all took their respective seats. As the train finally unloaded its last passengers, it a slowly moved forward and picked up speed after awhile. As Applejack and Rainbowdash kept on talking about competitions, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie pie were all busy conversing in another seat while Twilight was by herself. Twilight wanted to join but decided to get some shut eye since she was tired, but before she could close her eyes she heard the most terrifying noise in her life.

BANG!
BANG!
> Chapter 11
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"EVERYBODY, GET ON THE GROUND NOW!!!" yelled the mysterious stallion who was wearing black clothing over his body and face.

Twilight and her friends immediately dropped to the floor and put their hoofs over their heads. This is the first time any one of them has been in a hostage situation and they were real scared.

"Get the Princess now!" yelled a stallion, as one of them complied and dragged Twilight out from underneath her seat. Twilight screamed and squirmed as she tried to break free from the stallions hoofs.

"Shut her up will ya!" yelled one of them.

Complying immediately, the stallion used the butt of his pistol and hit Twilights head with enough force to knock her out. As the rest of the kidnappers pointed their guns at the rest of the element bearers the leader amongst the stallions spoke up and said.

"Lets get the fuck outta here"

The unicorn in the group immediately fired up his horn and they all disappeared in a flash. As the element bearers regained their composure they looked around the car. None of their belongings were gone and the only pony they took was Twilight.

"We have to save her!" exclaimed Rainbowdash as she got up slowly.

"Yeah!" chimed Pinkie.

"Agreed" began Fluttershy.

"Hold yer horses now, anybody know where she went?" asked Applejack as she looked at the group of friends.

"I don't" replied Pinkie whose smile disappeared instantly.

"I really didn't think of that" Fluttershy said.

"But who cares, she's out there" exclaimed Rainbow.

"Ah think we need some proper help, Spike ya there?" asked Applejack as she looked at him who was already holding  paper and quill.

"Good take a letter"

"Your highness, Is it wise to move the population now?" asked a Royal Guard who was busy overlooking the map in the war room. 

"I don't want any civilians getting caught up in a cross fire, I don't want any unnecessary deaths Captain" replied Celestia.

"At once your majesty" he replied before rapidly started writing on a piece of paper.

Just as Celestia was about to sot down a green magical flame appeared in front of her and a letter appeared. Thinking it was from Twilight she opened it immediately, but to her utter horror she read the most disturbing things that has happened to any of her students.

"Dear Princess

This is your faithful follower Applejack. I write this letter to inform you of grave news. Just a few minutes ago our train was abruptly turned into a hold up situation. There were around 5 stallions who boarded the train. They didn't steal anything which was odd, but that wasn't what they were after. Instead they stole your precious student and our friend Twilight. We ask of you to send you best guards and find these vermin's

-Your faithful follower, Applejack

Celestia folded the letter with shock after reading the letter, she ha gained almost everyones attention in the room when she gasped out loud.

"You majesty, what is the problem?" asked one of the Guards.

"Dispatch a squad immediately and tell them to find the friendship express and secure it immediately!" yelled Celstia in anger/fear.

"Yes your highness!" saluted a Guard before taking off in the opposite direction.

"I need to assemble a search force, gather a small team and head on over to the friendship express, I want them to find out where these kidnappers took Twilight Sparkle!" she barked.

"Yes your majesty" said another guard before galloping out the door.

"I pray that Twilight may only be safe" thought Celestia as she stared at the map for a long time.

As Kessler was busy walking through the hallways a galloping stallion rushed past him with a look of fear in his eyes.

"Wonder what his problem is" thought Kessler as he shrugged his shoulders.

Just then a stallion came out from the room to his left and immediately galloped down the hallway. Deciding to find out what was going on, Kessler ran up to the door and held it open to take a peek inside. Inside the room he found various stallions and mares doing their jobs. In the middle of the room was a large table and on top of it lay a huge map of what seemed to be Equestria. 

"Ahem" Kessler cleared his throat which got everyones attention in the room.

"Ah Kessler, please do come in" motioned Celestia with her hoof.

As Kessler made his way inside the room, the rest of the ponies inside resumed their daily task. As he approached Celestia he knew something was wrong.

"Something the matter your highness?" Kessler asked.

"Oh its nothing you should get yourself involved in" Celestia answered.

"Please with all due respect Celestia, I am in your war now so you might as well tell me" said Kessler reassuringly.

*sigh "Very well, the train in which my prize student was on has been held up and now my prized student has been kidnapped" said Celestia as she said it in a very dark way.

"I see" replied Kessler as he stroked his chin.

"I know, I shall find your student for you" beamed Kessler as he waited for her response.

"An how shall you do it?" asked Celestia.

"Leave it up to me Princess, I shall return later" answered Kessler as he walked out of the door.

As Kessler stepped outside he motioned the Panzerhunds to follow him. He then made a run for the Monitor as quick as possible. A Kessler rounded corners and turns he finally arrived at the doors leading to the royal fields. He pushed the door open hastily and made a break towards the Monitor, while on the way there he fished out his comm set and radioed the Monitor.

"Wake up one of your bloody drones, and prep one of the pods. Plot the coordinates for the friendship express, just follow the rail lines and it should lead us there" barked Kessler as he started climbing the ladder.

"Roger" it replied.

As soon as the Monitor gave the orders it launched the drone Wasp and it began flying towards the train tracks to find the friendship express with great speed. As Kessler made his way into the control room he opened the weapons locker and picked up a shot gun and a couple of shells. He put all his guns to one side and opened another locker, inside he found the standard 1960 infantry armour used by the nazi army. He quickly chucked his coat aside and remove the ammo belt and any other things that would constrict the armour. As Kessler removed the rest of his clothing the only thing left was his boxers, he slipped on the black combat pants and top and proceeded to wear the bullet resistant armour. He slipped on the gloves and shoulder paddings and then the boots. He then picked up the necessary ammo he needed and and put them in their respective pouches. He counted 4 clips for his pistol, 3 mags for his assault rifle and 2 mags(boxes more likely) for the shotgun. He secured the shotgun on his right shoulder and his pistol his side. He slung the assault rifle on the left side of his shoulder. He then picked up the bullet resistance mask and put it on before finally attaching the proud helmet with the Reich insignia. As Kessler finished adjusting himself in his armour he looked like deathsheads personal commandos.

"A fine piece of armour sir" commented the Monitor.

"Ja, Have you input the coordinates already?" asked Kessler.

"Affirmative, I have already located the train and have begun scanning the area, though my scans show high energy output in the area. This will take some time, as for your ride. Please step in the pod that is currently powered up, the robots inside are awaiting your command. I shall observe from here on out sir" it finally said.

"Gut, I bet Schlägerei is assigned to me?" asked Kessler skeptically.

"Ja" replied the Monitor.

"Gut, see you later then" began Kessler as he walked out of the control room in his new armour.

As Kessler climbed out the hatch he found it less easier to maneuverer in the armour. But it didn't bother him for he has trained in this sort of thing for at least 2 years. As Kessler made his way down to the ground, the pods rockets were already burning hot. As he grabbed his assault rifle he removed the straps for a more flexible use. He walked towards the front of the pod which had a single door open. As Kessler peered inside it was dark, the only thing illuminating the small area was the red lights on the side which gave very little lighting. As Kessler stepped inside, the door shut with a hiss and soon the P.A speaker spoke up.

"Preparing to take off" 

The pod came to life as it slowly rose above the ground.

"500 feet and rising" it said.

"1,000 feet, proceeding to destination" as it said that, the pod jerked forward instantly which made Kessler grab the support railings above to keep him stable.

"Arrival at destination ETA: 10 minutes" it said.

Kessler sighed in relief as the pod slowly made its way towards its destination.

"Commanding officer in charge is Leutenant Kessler, all personal shall report to him. Current pod status, all 6 Guard Robots are combat ready and ready to launch, Designation Schlägerei, class Panzerhund is ready to launch as well" it said over the P.A.

"Ah thats some good news" thought Kessler.

As the pod rose and descended through the terrain it passed all sorts of various sceneries, but unfortunately there were no windows and only the onboard A.I could watch the terrain. 

"5 minutes till destination arrival" it said.

Kessler tensed up at the announcement, but calmed down as he remembered there weren't any hostiles in the area.

"Attention! Hostile threats detected, ponies are currently engaged by bipedal beings. Class of beings are Minotaurs, prepare for combat" it said over the P.A.

"Shit!" thought Kessler as he radioed the Monitor.

"Are there Minotaurs at the scene?!" he barked through the comms.

"Yes sir, I am currently engaging them via drone" it replied.

"How many hostiles?" he asked.

"Currently around 19, the ponies are desperately outmatched for these Minotaurs have guns" it replied.

"Well shit" thought Kessler.

"20 seconds till landing" it said.

Kessler immediately stood to full attention and gripped his assault rifle.

"10 seconds until landing"

"5,4,3,2,1....GO GO GO!" boomed the speaker as the hatches opened instantly.

Kessler aimed his assault rifle up and immediately started firing when the first Minotaur came into his sight. He rushed outside and dove for the rock in front of him. He peeked out and fired a couple of shot at a Minotaur that was currently shooting the pod. As Kessler popped out from cover again he advanced slowly and kept his rifle aimed in all directions. He fired another burst of rounds at a Minotaur that came from out from the train. He ran towards a boulder and took refuge behind it. He activated his comm link and said.

"Deploy the Panzerhunds! Eliminate all hostiles in the area" he barked.

Not a moment too soon the rear of the pod opened up, and out came a very vicious and hungry looking Panzerhund. Wasting no time Schlägerei immediately ran for the nearest target he saw on his scanners and pounced on him and mauled him to death. Schlägerei moved onto its next prey swiftly and opened his huge jaws and snapped of the Minotaurs head and upper portion of his body. He quickly made a run for his next target and bit his opponent left hand, which severed it. Seeing his prey fall down, he quickly bit down on his body and ripped half of it off. He ran towards a another Minotaur that was shooting him, but his bullets simply bounced off him as he quickly ended his opponents life by biting his head clean off.

As Kessler watched the Panzerhund wreck every opponent it found. He popped out of his cover and killed three more Minotaurs who were rushing towards the Panzerhund. As Kessler made his way closer to the train, a Minotaur jumped down and fired at his chest. Kessler fell down to the ground immediately due to the force of the bullets. He was alive but not for long as the Minotaur approached him. Just as the Minotaur was about to shoot his face, Kessler swatted the gun away and rolled to the side. He picked himself up and landed a punch on the Minotaurs face which sent him stumbling back. As the Minotaur raised his gun towards Kessler, a very angry Panzerhund came over the from the other side of the train and landed on the Minotaur. As the Minotaur tried to break free from the Panzerhund, he could only struggle as the powerful jaws dug into the side of the Minotaur and picked him up like a toy and roughly shaked him around before throwing his seemingly lifeless body to the ground and biting his head off to make sure he was dead.

Kessler wasted in picking up his assault rifle. He went to the nearest train car and stacked up at the door. He kicked the door down and saw a Minotaur with a shocked expression. Wasting no time, he unloaded the rest of his magazine into the thing. Kessler dropped the magazine onto the floor and loaded a new one, he picked up the old one and kept it in the pockets. He proceeded to the next car and ignored the ponies on the way there. He radioed the Panzerhund to meet him in the next car. As he exited the first car the Panzerhund was already waiting for him. Kessler kicked the door down and moved to one side to let the Panzerhund clear the room. He peeked inside and watched as the Panzerhund tore at its opponents flesh like it was butter, ending his like quickly. He moved inside and move on towards the next car until they arrived at the royal carriage. He radioed the Monitor for any insight on the car.

"There are currently four targets inside the car, it will be tough but I can provide cover fire when you breach" it replied.

"Got it, you make the first shot" he ordered.

As the Mk 2 drone switched to its sniper mode it lined up its sights and waited for the right moment. After what seemed like and eternity the loud satisfying bang echoed through the country side. Seeing that was his cue, Kessler kicked the door down and proceeded inside together with the Panzerhund. Kessler unloaded into the nearest Minotaur he could find and ducked behind the seats instantly. He watched as the Panzerhund ripped apart its enemy in quick succession. Kessler popped out from cover and fired a couple of more shots at the remaining Minotaur. After seeing their handy work Kessler began using the Panzerhund to find the so called student of Celestia. He searched around the car and ignored the 5 ponies inside who seem stare at him. After rummaging through the car, he realised he didn't have a clue on what the student looked like. He decided to ask one of the Ponies in the car.

"You,"-he pointed at the orange one,-"do you have a reference for the student of Celestia?" he demanded.

"Umm...ya...yah...yah mean Twilight?" said the orange mare nervously.

"Ja, hurry up and give me a scent so that we may find her" he ordered again.

Seeing as these ponies were a waste of time he spotted a purple bag with stars surrounding it. He picked it up and showed it to the ponies.

"Is this her bag?" he asked.

The orange one nodded.

"Gut, thank you for your service" he replied before giving the bag to the Panzerhund. 

The Panzerhund sniffed the bag and soon had a scent on the pony. He quickly transferred the details to the drone so that it may scout ahead. The Panzerhund let a out a soft mechanical growl signalling its done. 

"Gut, let us move out" he ordered as he made his way towards the exit. 

As Kessler dropped down onto the sand he made a run for the pod and ordered the Panzerhund to get back in. After seeing that the Panzerhund was safely stowed away, Kessler stepped inside the pod and let the door shut behind him automatically. He radioed the Monitor for a sit-rep.

"Did you get the coordinates?" he asked.

"Already transferred them to the nav computers" it replied.

"Good" Kessler said, as the pod started taking off again and started proceeding towards its second destination.

"Sir I have arrived at the site and looks to be underground, I recommend close range weapons is to be used. As for the defence, there are at least 25 Minotaurs guarding the compound and what seems to be ponies in the underground complex, I count at least 10 ponies underground" it said informingly.

"Thanks for the heads up" he replied. 

"20 minutes until arrival" the P.A systems said.

Kessler began checking his assault rifle and shotgun, he knew he would switch to shotgun when he would assault the cave. And this time he would deploy the Guard Robots to make sure of a quick extraction.

"Pod, Launch Guard Robots when we land. All Guard Robots, clear the area of hostiles and leave nothing standing" he ordered, and soon received chorus of "affirmatives" from the Robots.

"This has been one hell of a night" thought Kessler as the pod continued its journey into enemy territories.


> Chapter 12
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the pod flew through the sky towards its destination, Kessler could only hold onto the railings to keep himself steady as the crammed interior shook wildly due to turbulence. As Kessler stood in the dimly lit launch bay, he wondered what sort of life his squad was having when he disappeared from earth. His thoughts came to an abrupt halt when the P.A came on again.

"5 minutes until landing" 

As Kessler pushed aside his thoughts, he decided to focus on the upcoming combat. The plan would be, that the pod will deploy the Guard Robots and they will clear out the compound. And when that is done, Kessler will proceed inside with Schlägerei an clear out the underground complex.

"15 seconds till landing"

"Wonder what the americans use to say during a comeback, oh wait. It time to FUCK BACK!" He said as the pod shuddered and landed with a heavy thud.

"Deploying Guard Robots"

Kessler could only hear the loud gun sounds outside, as the bullets bounced harmlessly of armour. He heard the first Robot open fire its heavy laser cannon and he could hear the screams of dying Minotaurs after what seemed like 5 minutes of laser fire and screaming the shooting finally stopped.

"Boss you hear that? The fucking enemy is here!" exclaimed one of the henchman.

"Relax" replied Randy,"they ain't gonna get past out defences"

"Boss what do we do with the purple bitch?" asked another henchman.

"I'm gonna have some with her" laughed the Randy maniacally, "and once I'm done with her, we can sell her off to the Minotaur douche," who dragged the half unconscious body of Twilight into a storage room.

"All right bitch ass princess, I'm gonna fuck the living daylights outta you before your pals arrive" said Randy as he looked at Twilights body lustfully. He proceeded to her behind and spread her legs wide open, revealing a wet pussy. 

"Already wet eh?" said Randy.

Randy stood on his hind legs which revealed his penis that seemed to pulse on its own. He put the tip of the head near the entry point and watched as Twilights body shudder at the feeling. In one quick motion he shoved his 7 inch dick straight into Twilights pussy which caused her to scream in pleasure/pain. He slowly removed the dick but before completely removing it he thrusted it in again and after a few thrusts he gained speed and went back and forth as pleasure filled his mind. Randy groaned in pleasure as his dick started to tense up. Twilight groaned in pleasure, which was odd since she was technically being raped. As the rhythmic sound of skin slapping against skin grew faster and faster, Twilight could only succumb to the pleasure as she wanted more.

"How could I be enjoying this?!" she thought, as she neared her climax which wasn't to far.

"Ugh...must...resist...ple..a..sure...Ahhhhhh!!!" screamed Twilight as she came all over the strangers cock. 

"Fuck me! You are one squirter" he yelled, and removed his dick and released his seed all over her ass,"Well that was a fine fuck Princess, guess Ill see you around" smirked Randy as he opened the door, only to greeted by a black figure carrying a shotgun with death written all over it.

"Boom" the figure said before pulling the trigger, and filled the stallion with lead. The shells came out the other side of the body and splattered blood on the walls. The only thing left was the stallions hind legs.

Twilight witnessed the brutal execution before the world turned black and she passed out.

*15 minutes earlier

Kessler exited the pod as soon as the doors opened and was met with a burning scene. There were watchtowers burning and burnt bodies lying everywhere. Kessler ordered Schlägerei out off the pod and headed towards the cave entrance. Kessler switched to his shotgun and looked inside the cave. Sure enough there was lighting inside and it lead deeper and deeper inside the cavern. Kessler jogged inside with Schlägerei closely following from behind. When Kessler rounded the first bend, he ran straight into two ponies carrying guns. They both opened fire at Kessler who ducked behind a mine cart. Kessler popped back out and fired two buck shots at the ponies, which blew their heads clean off. As Kessler proceeded deeper inside, he ordered the Panzerhund to clear out the next area. After waiting for about a minute he entered the place and found torn up bodies everywhere. Kessler simply shrugged and moved on to the next area. As Kessler slowly approached the next area, he peeked around the corner and found a wide open space with various boxes stacked in the middle and mine carts sitting in the open. As Kessler scanned his targets, he counted at least 3 ponies all together in the area. There was door at the back indicating that the student of Celestia was probably held captive there. As Kessler took into note of what he saw, only one pony was armed with a rifle. The rest all had weird looking pistols. Kessler switched his ammo type to ricocheting ammo and and pointed the gun in the room. He pulled the trigger and watched as the bullets hit one of the ponies an bounced wildly around the room. As Kessler watched the bullets bounce of the walls an ceiling, he watched in amusement as the bullets tear apart his opponents instantly until there was none left standing. Quietly proceeding inside he checked the room for any surprise attacks before heading towards the red door. Just as Kessler was about to open it, he was greeted by a brown stallion with jet black hair.

Assuming that Celestia's student was the one tied up, he brought the shotgun up and aimed it at the stallion at point blank range and said.

"Boom"

After seeing the ponies guts splatter everywhere in a bloody fashion, he rushed over to what seemed to be a purple pony who looked like she was ravaged and tortured with. There were white substances dripping off her flank which looked an awful lot like semen. Kessler untied the purple pony and caught her unconscious body. He grabbed  a multipurpose cloth and wiped the white substance off the pony's coat, he picked her up and tucked her underneath his left arm and proceeded out the door. When Kessler exited the cave, he ordered all Robots to pile up. After 5 minutes, all the Robots including the Panzerhund were safely stowed away. Taking one final look at the torched camp, Kessler boarded the pod and watched as the door closed and the only thing illuminating the place was the same old red light. 

He slung his shotgun over his shoulder and grabbed the railings as the pod took off, after jerking forward, the pod made its way back to base.

"Monitor come in" Kessler said.

"Roger" it replied.

"Tell Celestia to prepare a med team when we arrive, her student doesn't look too good" 

"Already on it" replied the Monitor before the line was cut.



Kessler let out a sigh of relief, tonight was something new. He hadn't seen combat for the last 3 months and only now has he begun killing more targets. Only this time they weren't humans, they were magical beings that came straight from a child's tale. As much as he didn't want to believe it, there was already living proof. As the pod continued its journey, the only thing you could hear from the inside was the low hum of the engines. Kessler turned to check on the rescued hostage, and found that she was breathing normally. Kessler noticed her features and realised he was holding a bloody princess. He instantly figured this out when the pony had both horn and wings when he inspected her. 

"Well fuck me" he thought.

As the pod started to slow down the P.A system came on.

"Arriving at destination, file out in an orderly way"

"Huh, orderly" he thought.

As the pod landed on the ground with a heavy thud, it created dust clouds and threw small pieces of dirt everywhere.  As Kessler watched the door open, he was greeted by the sight of Celestia and Luna who were both standing there with their guards. As Kessler exited the pod, ponies wearing coats and caps with a cross on the top, all rushed towards him to inspect the unconscious princess. As Kessler laid the body down gently he let the medical team do their work and he walked of to the side with a tired face. He sat down and leaned against the Monitors legs and rested for the time being, that was until he was greeted by the two Princesses. 

"Thank you for saving my student, William" thanked Celestia as she bowed in a way of thanks.

"I have to give it too you, thou is brave in combat" complemented Luna.

"Its all in a days work, besides I work for justice" replied Kessler as he stood up again.

"If you shall excuse me Princess, I must change and return to my room for some sleep" said Kessler as he climbed the ladder leading to the top of the Monitor.

As soon as he reached the top, he made his way down into the control room and unloaded everything. Kessler removed his guns and placed them back in the locker(excluding the assault rifle), he grabbed the necessary ammo for the guns he would be carrying in public, and stuffed them into a pouch. He removed his armour completely and changed back into his officer uniform. After putting the armour in the cleansing chamber, he exited out of the control room and towards the hatch.

"I shall repair your armour while you are gone sir" said the Monitor as he watched his commander leave.

Kessler acknowledge the Monitor but didn't show any sign as he left the room. After climbing down the ladder, he walked all the way to the guest bedroom. After opening the door to the place, he dropped his assault rifle to ground and landed on the bed with a soft thud. Kessler closed his eyes as sleep swallowed him, he wondered what sort of life his friend were having without him as he drifted in the sleep realm.

As Kessler awoke the next morning, he went to the royal fields immediately and started doing his morning exercise, after finishing his routine he asked a guard where he could get some breakfast. The guard told him that breakfast is served in the dining room. As Kessler walked through the halls to the dining room, he arrived at his destination and pushed the doors aside. After finding a plate and getting some food he sat down and ate in silence. After eating he went back outside, only to find the two sisters there.

"Good morning princess" greeted Kessler as he approached them.

"Please just call us by our name, we are friends now" replied Celestia.

"Well then, what brings you here?" 

"We were waiting for the weapons demonstration remember?" answered Luna.

"Ohh right.....What time?" 

"Around lunch" replied Celestia.

"What time is it now?"

"8:30" Luna replied.

"Well, I must be going then" waves Kessler as he walked towards the Monitor.

"How is Twilight dear sister?" asked Luna.

"She is fine Luna, she is just in need of sleep" answered Celestia.

"I heard of the train massacre, how are the element bearers?"

"They are fine, just scared thats all. They will be fine, they are strong, remember?" Celestia informed

"True" replied Luna.

"I hope nothing too surprising happens today" sighed Celestia as she got up and walked started walking through the fields.

"Lets hope sister, lets hope" answered Luna. 

*meanwhile in a random patrol area. This is patrol squad Wolfpack.

"Come on Victor, move your ass" yelled Hans as he and the rest of their squad were busy patrolling the streets of London.

"Coming" groaned Victor as he jogged up to the rest of the squad.

"I don't get why we have to search for these rebels. Can't we just flush em out using the Robots?" groaned Victor.

"Because that would cause a fucking uproar amongst the people and make us look like bloody murderers" replied Erwin.

"Oh" replied Victor quietly,"say Erwin, why did command assign you and John to wear those heavy armours?"

"Because, ever since the Monitors disappearance. Riots have been breaking out all over the city, word has it that the rebels are mounting an assault soon" answered Erwin.

"And don't forget that, we lost two Panzerhunds and a officer. Both whom we all know and love. Right guys?" asked John.

"Yep" replied everyone else.

"I hope Kessler is doing all right, I miss the bastard" sighed Bobby.

"Eh he's a tough guy, don't worry" replied Hans.

"So are they building anything new?" asked Victor.

"I heard that they have begun building a second Monitor now, this time its gonna be bigger and better, considering if it doesn't blow up the city in the process" answered Hans.

"So exactly where do we go now?" asked Bobby.

"We head back, our sweep is done" replied Hans.

Just as the five of them were about to exit the large alleyway, the five were all engulfed in a blue flame, which cause panic to all of them.

"Arghhh shit!" exclaimed Hans as he tried to put out the fire.

"I'm going to kill whoever did this" yelled Victor as he valiantly tried to put out the flames. Before he knew it the world turned black, the last he saw was the scenery changing all around him.

"Holy shit!" exclaimed Kessler, as he and the two Princesses watched a patch of grass turn into fiery blue flames and within seconds five german soldiers appeared in front of them.

"Well fuck me!" thought Kessler when he looked at the bodies.

"Wait a minute, that symbol..it can't be?.....Well shit" exclaimed Kessler as he recognised the symbol on all the soldiers arms.

"Well guess I'm not the only human here after all" mused Kessler as he looked at the bodies.

Luna stared at the scene with a poker face as Kessler and Celestia were shocked and amazed. Luna on the other hand was in utter disbelief.

"Buck! Did I overuse the spell? Why is it still teleporting others?! Did I miscalculate?!" thought Luna a she tried to find an answer.

"Well then, today just got interesting" beamed Kessler as he continue to stare at his former members.

Just as Kessler was about to turn his back, he heard a groan coming from them and turned around to see already one of the soldiers sitting upright. 

"Ah crap! My head!" exclaimed the soldier!

"Hello there soldier, whats your name?" asked Kessler.

The soldier looked up at him and could only respond in shock as he said.

"Kessler? Sir?" 

Kessler's eyes went wide with recognition as he remembered that voice.

"Hans?" asked Kessler.


> Chapter 13
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hans? Is that you?" asked Kessler disbelievingly.

"Yes....Sir" nodded Hans slowly.

"Holy shit! Its good to see you brother," exclaimed Kessler as he wrapped Hans in a tight hug.

"Its good too see you as well" replied Hans.

As the two of them broke the hug, Hans looked around in his new environment and noticed he was standing in grass rather than the hard concrete streets of London. He noticed a metal object next to Kessler and thought it was some sort of metal pillar, but when he started to look up he got the biggest surprise in his life. There it was, standing at a proud 80 meters was the London Monitor, good as new and combat ready.

"Uhhh......Sir....is that-"

"Yes, yes it is, its real" answered Kessler.

"Acknowledge" boomed the Monitor.

"What....but how? It was destroyed. What...just what?" stammered Hans as he tried to process everything.

"Well I hate to break it too you my friend, but we are now in a different world" informed Kessler.

"Different world? How? Did someone teleport us? What country achieved that? Japan?" asked Hans simultaneously.

"Umm.......not exactly. You see I was summoned here just like you lot and also the Monitor" 

"So who summoned us exactly?" 

"Your not going to believe this, but a bunch of "ponies"" began Kessler as he put emphasis on the "ponies"

"You have got to be kidding me....just how much weed did you smoke?" asked Hans.

"I am not kidding, in fact have a look" said Kessler as he stepped to one side to reveal Celestia and Luna.

Hans's brain immediately stopped working when he saw the two coloured ponies. The one on the right seemed to be covered in white fur and had a multicoloured mane which seemed to flow in a different direction,and was apparently bigger than the one next to it. The next pony had a dark blue coat with a slightly lighter dark blue mane which also flowed in one direction. And it seems that the both of them had horns which indicated that they were unicorns. This gave Hans a headache because these ponies look like they came straight out of a cartoon. And not only that but they had horns, which meant a girl must be in charge of all this.

"Umm Kessler, do you mind explaining what I am looking at" asked Hans.

"Why of course, this is Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. They are the rulers of this land and the only means of us returning to our world" said Kessler gracefully.

"Thats it  I must be dead" exclaimed Hans, as he threw his hands up in the air.

"No, your not dead. Far from it actually" said Kessler.

"Well I can't believe a bunch of ponies can do this,"-he said while waving his arms around the scenery,-"and how do they even govern this land? Do they even talk?" 

"Yes, we can talk human" replied the white pony which he presumed to be Celestia.

"Shit! They can talk?" exclaimed Hans.

"Yes we can human, we all can talk in this great land of ours" said the blue pony.

"Ah....umm....umm, thats it I give up! I cannot comprehend all off this" said Hans before sitting down on the soft grass and removed his helmet. Which revealed a young dashing face with blue eyes and brown hair.

"Well let me tell you something Hans" began Kessler as he sat down next to him.

"This land is real and everything you see is real, the fact I'm here means that its all real" 

Hans nodded his head slowly, he started to comprehend his surroundings and gave in to the fact it was real.

"Fine, Ill believe you" said Hans defeatedly. 

"Haha its good to see you" said Kessler happily as he nudged his friend.

"How are we going to explain it too them?" said Hans, pointing a finger to the rest of the squad without looking.

"We hear everything" came a familiar voice.

Both Hans and Kessler turned around and saw all four of the squad members standing and waiting for them to reply.

"What? When did you wake up?" asked Hans immediately.

"Umm the part where you said that talking horses rule this land, yeah" replied the soldier in the same armour as Hans.

"Victor?" asked Kessler.

"Yep, Its me sir" replied Victor.

"All members remove your helmets" ordered Hans, as the rest of the squad started removing their helmets to reveal their faces underneath those dreaded protective masks.

"I cant believe it" said Kessler, now standing before him was his squad and his friends. He looked at Victor who still had the same jet black hair and cocky face which never changes. He looked at Bobby, who still had that look for scaring people away, but deep down he's a softie. He looked at Erwin, who still had that happy look of his and his curly blonde hair adds to that. And then there was John, the look of "I'm going to kill you later" was still written on his face, but he was like Bobby, only more noisier, he had short black hair which meant he always follows protocol haircuts.

"Look at you lot, you guys didn't even change one bit" he said while extending his hands outwards.

"Group hug!" yelled Victor as he ran straight up too Kessler and wrapped him in a tight hug, followed by the rest off the gang.

"Ok...guys...can't...breath" gasped Kessler before the group let him go.

"Haha you haven't changed one bit Sir" commented Bobby.

"And it looks like we will have to adjust to this new place foe the tome being" remarked Erwin.

"So mind telling us what we are going to do in the meantime sir?" asked John.

Kessler looked at the group and scratched his head, he had no idea what to tell them first.

"Well for starters, I just joined up fighting for this land to save these ponies from doom" said Kessler sheepishly.

"Wait, these ponies are at war?" asked Hans.

"Yep"

"With who?" asked Victor.

"Griffons" said Kessler, expecting a look of shocked faces.

"Oh right, Griffons, well I'm not going to argue since this land has talking ponies. Might as well throw in Griffons" said Hans.

"And there is also Minotaurs and Ram's" informed Kessler.

"Right...that too" 

"So exactly what are we gonna do? Fight until we reach the capital?" asked Erwin skeptically.

"At this point I'm not sure, I haven't been able to think of a plan yet. Sure we could go in guns blazing towards their capital, but what about the civilians? We may as well look like murderers" replied Kessler.

"Well how bout we just let the ponies fight? I mean they must have guns or something" Bobby said.

"They have weapons, only that its swords and spears, and crossbows. The enemy however has guns, which means they will turn the battlefield into a meat grinder" said Kessler grimly.

"Excuse me gentlemen, but we have some news for you, we may not be at a disadvantage here. Since we have captured a wide supply of these guns from the northern front, we have decided to alter them in our favour. We have already replicated a dozen or so of these weapons and have fitted them to some of the soldiers in the battlefield" said Luna who was standing to one side.

"Say what, you have access to guns now? Well thats some news. At least the battlefield will be even now" remarked Kessler.

"How many of these weapons have you produced so far?" asked John.

"So far we have only twelve, but by the end of the week, at least around 50" answered Luna.

"Well thats some good news, I suggest you put more work into manufacturing those guns and bullets. Since you need to distribute them to everyone of your soldiers in the front lines" said Kessler.

Just as Luna was about to speak up, a messenger appeared with a tired look.

"Princess! Grave news from Las Pegasus! The Minotaurs have taken the city and are holding hostages! All of them are royal guards and if we don't surrender. They will execute them by sun down tomorrow and burn the city!" exclaimed the pegasus grimly.

"Thank you for the message kind one, you may leave now" ordered Luna as she turned back towards the men.

"This is bad news my friends" said Luna.

"It is bad, now you have lost a city, which means that they will be using that place as a F.O.B" commented Victor.

"Alright men, looks like were going to re-take that city" began Kessler as he stood up straight.

"We are? We barely even know whats going on and we're just going to fight immediately?" asked Hans skeptically.

"Who cares I want to shoot something! It been awhile since I have shot anything" remarked Erwin.

"Same here, I've been itching for a fight" motioned John.

"Well how about you lot?" asked Hans as he looked at the two remaining members.

The two of them, Victor and Bobby both looked at each other and nodded. Meaning that they agreed to fight. 

"*sigh guess I can't change your mind, what the heck count me in" said Hans as he looked at Kessler with a smile.

"Sir! Wolfpack squad reporting for duty!" shouted Hans as he and the rest of the squad stood to attention.

"All right listen up! Your going to be fighting enemies who are skilled with firearms and are not to be underestimated, got it? Good. We will be using the pods over there to drop into the city while the Monitor will distract the enemy long enough for us too sneak out the survivors and kill the remaining troops once were done" barked Kessler.

"Sir yes Sir!" replied the rest of the squad.

"All right move to the pod and get yourself some ammo" motioned Kessler to the Mk IV pod.

"Monitor, I need you to re-attach the other pod, so that if we need backup you can launch them straight away" ordered Kessler as he spoke through the comm set.

"Roger" it replied.

"Oh and one last thing, where do you keep the ammo?"

"Look inside the launch bay for the Guard Robots, you should find some ammo crates there" it replied.

"Right"

"Pod, open up launch bay, we need ammo" said Kessler as he approached the pod. Without further a due the side of the pod opened up and revealed the lined up Guard Robots all in standby mode. As Kessler moved to the side he spotted a black ammo cache and walked over to it. He opened it up and inside was all the ammo for specific weapons sorted neatly.

"Hey lads, ammo is here. Get what you need" he ordered.


As Kessler exited the pod, he went over to the ladder and began climbing it. After reaching the top he wasted no time getting inside and headed straight for the weapons locker. Kessler opened the armour locker and found the armour he used last night looking good and new. After removing his clothes and putting on the combat clothes and armour, he went to the locker and picked his load out. He chose an upgraded assault rifle with the underslung rocket. He grabbed 8 clips for the assault rifle and place them in their specified pouches. He chose a full barrel for the rocket launcher, meaning he can only shoot one clip and he would be out. He chose his secondary weapon and equipped the belt fed shotgun. He got 2 magazines for them and put them in their respective places. He grabbed a medkit and placed it on his lower left leg. He got his combat knife and sheathed on his right side. After putting on his helmet and mask he gave the Monitor and order.

"Don't use the laser cannon, as much a possible we want to keep casualties to a minimum. Use your rockets and gatlings, do you know where Las Pegasus is?"

"Affirmative Sir, Las Pegasus has already been saved to my database and I have transferred the coordinates to the pods. I have done scouting and it seems the enemy has fortified the place. I shall clear the way if needed" it replied.

"All right thanks for the info I shall radio in later once we touch down, you will inform us of any incoming threats" 

"Roger" it replied.

Kessler proceeded out of the room and began exiting the Monitor. After reaching the ground he found the pod already fired up and ready to go. He saw no sign of his squad meaning that they must be inside already. As Kessler went inside the pod he was greeted by dark figures inside the fairly cramped space. It was enough to fit all of them, thankfully.

"All right whats your load out?" asked Kessler a the door shut behind him and the pod started to rise.

"Standard trooper armour and assault rifle with rocket upgrade" said Hans.

"Same here" came Victor.

"Fire trooper armour and fully loaded shotguns ready to take out targets!" exclaimed Erwin.

"Standard trooper armour with AR marksman as load out" said Bobby.

"Rocket Trooper armour and assault rifle with rocket launcher upgrade" said John.

"All right get you know the plan, rescue the hostages and make sure they get to safety then only can we blast the living daylights outta those Minotaurs" said Kessler, as he got a collective response of nods.

"Its dark in here" said Hans.

"Wasn't it the same with the Russian front? We're basically riding the same thing that took us to battle years ago" Erwin commented.

"You have a point there" replied Hans.

"4 hours left until destination arrival" boomed the P.A

"Well thats quite a long trip guess find some seats guys, were going to be here for awhile" informed Kessler.

As the rest of the squad retracted the foldable seats in the dimly lit area each of them tended to their own things.

"Well I'm going to sleep" informed Victor as he leaned his head back on the wall.

"Yeah me too" began Bobby as he also leaned his head against the wall. 

"Well me and John are gonna check our weapons" said Erwin as he started disassembling his assault rifle.

Kessler looked around the place, he pondered on what would happen during the rescue attempt. Sure he was confident they would win, but the thought of losing one of his friends was unbearable. He has known these guys since he first  returned to London from America, losing any of them would result in him being unstable for awhile. Which might end up in him slaughtering the entire enemy army if he wanted too. All these thoughts were cut short when he was nudged on the arm by his seat mate.

"Hey, you alright?" asked Hans concerningly.

"Yeah, just thinking about stuff" replied Kessler.

"Say, how did you get along well with those ponies?" asked Hans curiously.

"Well lets just say that we went through some misunderstanding, but in the end we figured it out" answered Kessler.

"Well thats one way to put it"

"You don't say"

"So where did you wake up? In the same place as we did?" 

"Nope, I woke up in a bloody clearing surrounded by a forest. And with the Monitor"

"Well thats something" 

"Tell me about it"

"Say, what happened while I was gone?"

"Well the higher ups weren't pleased to find one of their officers and a giant robot disappeared in an instant. And then just a few days later two Panzerhunds went missing, command authorised a search and rescue for you and the Panzerhunds. While that was happening the rebels have been more active lately, but now security is tight around London. More checkpoints have been put up, drones are everywhere. They even went to the trouble of positioning a battleship to guard the harbour and inspect all trade vessels"

"Wow, I am missing out on alot"

"Oh trust me you do not want to be there, riots keep on breaking out all over the place and we have to resort to violence most of the time. There was a massacre down at the markets one time, where the people attacked a soldier. Of course the soldier didn't retaliate because its again code law to shoot un armed people. But then the guy was killed and all hell broke loose. The police and army had to put down the uprising quickly an they just opened fire at everybody they saw. It was a nightmare, children, women, all sorts of people were caught up in the crossfire. It was just pure utter chaos"

"Jeez what the hell were they thinking?"

"I don't know"

"Any thing else good?"

"Well my family is doing all right, the kids are now in High school and were all satisfied"

"Huh good job"

"Yeah" 

As Kessler and Hans chatted for the rest of the trip, they discussed about various topics. From war to life to comedy even about the rest of the squad.

"Jeez how long have we been talking for?" asked Kessler

"Dunno" replied Hans.

"2 hours until arrival" the P.A said.

"Well I'm going for some shut eye" said Kessler as he moved into a more comfortable position.

"Guess I'll do that as well"

As the both of them drifted off to sleep the pod cruised through the afternoon sky towards enemy territory. Meanwhile the Monitor was busy doing its fast walk, it wont reach the place before the pod does. So the rescue group will have to wait for the Monitor to arrive before they can launch any sort of attack. As the Monitor made its slow journey, it had roughly 5 hours left if it kept at this pace.

"I was made to traverse cities not open fields" it thought as it continued walking.

As the pod rattled and shook wildly during the turbulence, the occupants inside however weren't affected by it. Everyone was either asleep or doing their own thing. Everyone was immediately awoken when the P.A system came on.

"5 Minutes till arrival" 

"Shit better get ready to secure the LZ" groaned Kessler as he stood up to stretch his back.

Seeing everyone around him stirring up, he decided to pick up his assault rifle and hold onto the bars for a soft landing.

"Rise and shine dick heads, were approaching our destination" barked Hans at the other teammates.

"Are we gonna start shooting when we land?" groaned Victor as he got up.

"Sadly, No, without support from the Monitor we can't assault the place. We will have to wait for it to arrive, until then we have to secure our LZ" informed Hans.

"Oh great more waiting" complained John.

"Quit whining, you'll get your chance when the Monitor arrives" replied Hans.

"Prepare to exit in 3,2,1 GO!" boomed the speaker.

Wolfpack squad immediately filed out of the pod in quick succession while scanning the area for hostiles. After seeing the area was clear, the pod shut its thrusters down and put the remaining power to its hatches. As the rest of the squad set up a small campfire in their place, some decided to go find firewood while some decided to go scouting. After awhile the squad returned and shared their piece of adventure.

"So what dis you find in the woods?" asked Kessler as he looked at Victor and Bobby.

"Eh just a few animals and wood basically, what about you?" answered Victor

"Eh we found the enemy base alright, its just over the ridge line. Lucky we landed here so I think they didn't spot us" assumed Erwin.

"Well what time till the Monitor gets here?" asked John.

"In about the next hour or so" answered Kessler.

As the group decided to wait for the Monitor they passed the time by telling stories of each others past. Some were hilarious, others were dark and some were just plain outright stupid. Just as everyone was about to go to sleep, they were interrupted by rumbling footsteps. As everyone turned to see what it was. They saw the Monitor come around from the mountain with it powerful headlights. Everyone looked away from the lights as it illuminated almost the area they were in.

"Well I think the enemy knows were here" scoffed John.

"Well this attack wasn't going to be a surprise anyway" informed Hans.

"So what do we do now? Attack in the night?" asked Victor.

"No, we attack early dawn. Get as much sleep as you need, your going to need it tomorrow" informed Kessler as he walked inside the pod.

"Well Ill sleep later" began John as he stood up and walked around the place.

"Dunno about you lot but I'm going to sleep too" said Erwin as he sat down at the pod entrance and slept there.

As the night passed on the sleeping members of Wolfpack all slept peacefully. When the sun broke the horizon however, the members were already wide awake and prepared to head straight into battle.

"All right give one last check to your weapons before we land" said Kessler as the pod started taking off.

"Approaching battlefield, standby to launch" the pod said.

As soon as the pod said that, a loud explosion came from the exterior as loud gunfire could be heard followed by screams and explosions.

"Guess the Monitor is doing quite a good job" complemented Hans.

"Well if anything, if you wan't to exterminate a rebel or enemy, it will get the job done" replied Kessler.

"3,2,1 GO GO GO!" boomed the pod as the door slammed open and the squad filed out. 

There was gunfire everywhere and the squad members took up their respective positions.

"MG nest up ahead!" yelled Hans as he tried to get a clear look on its position.

"Got it!" yelled Bobby as he pulled the trigger on his AR Marksman and killed the gunner.

"Move up! Kill everything that moves!" ordered Kessler as he dove for cover as a group of Minotaurs came around the corner. Kessler popped out from cover and fired at a nearby Minotaurs head and killed him instantly. He looked to his left to see John absorbing all the bullets as he unloaded his rockets into the Minotaurs.

"Where are the hostages at?" asked Hans as the squad moved up around the deserted streets.

"Their in the town square" replied Kessler.

"Where is that?" asked Victor.

"Next turning" 

As the squad rounded the corner, they quickly dove into cover as a hail of bullets showered their position. 

"Dammit! Attack pod, we need Guard Robots now!" ordered Kessler as the pod hovered above them. As the pod opened its hatches. It deployed the Guard Robots one by one. As the Robots were told to clear out the area around the corner they did as they were told and was met with heavy fire as they were being shot at from multiple directions. As the Robots activated their heavy laser cannons, they killed everything in sight as they blasted through walls and shields, after almost murdering everything in sight. Wolfpack squad came out of their cover and ran straight towards the town hall. Upon arrival, they found the hostages in the centre of the field and saw that their guards had been murdered by the earlier laser barrage. As the squad proceeded to untie the soldiers, they were interrupted by a Minotaur that was clad in Iron over his body. The only problem was that he was carrying a big gun.

"Eat lead calfs!" he roared as he fired his machine gun wildly. Kessler and the rest of his men dove for cover as the bullets rained upon them.

"Switch to heavy weaponry!" he shouted.

"Everyone fire your guns on my mark" he yelled.

As the Minotaur kept on firing his LMG at the cover fields his gun stopped firing when he heard a faint click.

"Now!" yelled Kessler as he and the remaining members popped out of their cover areas and began unloading all their weapons into the Minotaur. As Kessler fires his rockets at the beast the rest of his squad fired their rockets/shotguns/plasma bolts at the Minotaur who seemed to disappear before their eyes. After unloading their clips into the Minotaur they found out that his body was completely gone and they made a hole in the wall behind him.

"That was completely overkill" said Hans as he inspected the remains of the body.

"Well I figured it was the best way to dispose of such a highly armoured target" 

"Who cares! It was fun" exclaimed Erwin.

"Lets meet up with the Monitor and finish off the rest of the stranglers, if there is any that is" ordered Kessler as he and the squad started moving out towards the Monitors position, which wasn't hard to spot.

> Chapter 14
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Wolfpack squad continued down the deserted streets of Las Pegasus the group met little resistance on their way. Occasionally they would run into retreating groups that fought with the Monitor, and they would finish the job. As the team arrived at the outskirts of the city, they saw what seemed to be a burning graveyard.

"Poor bastards" said John as he looked at all the burning carcasses. 

"Eh they deserved it, I mean look at this city. They turned it into a base for crying out loud" replied Erwin.

"Well the important thing is that we got the hostages out, right?" asked Bobby.

"Yup" answered Victor,"speaking of which, where did the hostages go?"

"They ran off into Equestrian territory for all I care" scoffed Hans.

"Well its time for us to head back, I think the Equestrians can handle rebuilding this place" said Kessler.

"Pod, pick us up" radioed Kessler from his comm set.

After 5 minutes of waiting, the pod came around a building and landed in the desert sand blowing sand everywhere. As the squad piled on everyone double checked all their items before leaving. As the door shut, the pod rose up into the sky and took off back to Canterlot with the Monitor following close behind.

The trip back to Canterlot was a quiet one since all the members slept on their way there. As the pod slowly arrived at its destination, it awoke its occupants by activating the P.A system.

"Approaching destination, get ready to disembark"

"Argh shit! That thing is loud come to think of it" groaned Hans as he sat up straight.

"No shit" groaned Kessler as he stood up to stretch his back.

"Are we there yet?" asked Erwin inside his armour.

"Well the pod is still moving so, no" answered Hans.

"Ughhh" groaned Erwin.

"Today was really weird, we get pulled from our world straight into another world's conflict and 4 hours later we finish our first battle on this planet. This has been very interesting indeed" remarked Victor.

"Your right about that" scoffed Hans.

"Well lets face it, sooner or later we're going back to our world once we're done with this war" said Kessler informingly.

"How do you know they aren't lying?" asked John, which got everybody's attention.

"I don't John, but I know their telling the truth. I trust my gut on this one" replied Kessler.

The rest of the trip back was silent one after that response as all the members had something to think about.

"Do you think it was the right choice Tia?" asked Luna who was standing in her balcony with Celestia.

"What choice do you mean?" answered Celestia.

"Allowing the humans to take part in our war? I feel like we are asking too much from them"

"I haven't really considered it, maybe you are right we are asking too much from them. But then again sometimes they choose to help us an we have no quarrel with that"

"Maybe you are right dear sister, but I fear we must send them back soon for we have pulled them from a crisis only they can solve"

"Speaking of which, I have found a spell that can send them back to their world, but I don't know when should we present it too them"

"When the time be right sister"

"When the time shall be right then"

As the two sisters looked over their Kingdom they spotted a light blue and grey craft coming in towards Canterlot. As the craft zoomed past their tower, it could only mean that their heroes have returned. 

"I think we must be greeting our heroes don't you think?" began Celestia as she turned around and started walking towards the door.

"Wait for me!" exclaimed Luna as Celestia broke into a gallop.

"Ah fuck! My back" groaned Erwin as he exited the pod.

"Remove your armour for crying out loud" answered Victor, who already had his helmet and chest plate removed.

"Gimme a minute" replied Erwin.

As Erwin tried to remove his armour, the rest of Wolfpack squad were all sitting in a circle with their equipment sprawled everywhere.

"Jeez, I need a shower" complained Hans as he sniffed his body.

"Same here" motioned Bobby as he raised his hand.

"Well lads you'll have to wait, Ill discuss with the Princesses to get you lot some accommodation" began Kessler as he got up to look around for the two sisters.

Kessler spun around as he heard doors being forced opened. He saw Celestia an Luna joyfully running? Around the area before they trotted up to their location.

"Looks like some royals are having fun eh?" commented Kessler as he looked at the two sisters.

"We have rarely get to have fun most of the times, so why not now?" mused Luna as she panted.

"Yes my sister is quite playful if you ask me" said Celestia.

"Well I get that ruling comes with a price. Say what about that student of yours? Is she alright?" asked Kessler with a concerned look.

"Oh you mean Twilight? She is doing fine actually, I think she should be awake by now. Goodness I almost forgot about her when you arrived" said Celestia.

"Would you like to accompany us?" asked Luna.

Kessler pondered at the idea for a moment and decided to agree.

"Sure why not" shrugged Kessler.

"You lot stay here for a bit, Ill be back soon" said Kessler as he looked at his squad, who only nodded.

The walk from the fields to the room of Twilight Sparkle was quiet interesting, since Trio spoke about various topics. From food, to lifestyle, to how ponies are born and raised. From random topics left and right, all of them had a laugh, which kept Kessler's mood up. As the arrived outside the room of Twilight, the doors were grandly decorated. Meaning someone with royalty slept in those chambers. 

As Celestia used her magic to open the door, they were met with bright lights and a beautifully decorated room. There was chairs and tables to one side. A bathroom(luxury), and a personal door leading to the wardrobe. There was a big bed no doubt and on the bed was a lavender pony who was so busy reading her books, she didn't notice that three being had walked into her room. 

"Ahem Twilight?" asked Celestia as she tried to get the Princess of Friendships attention.

"Huh? Oh Princess I'm so sorry for not noticing you" blushed Twilight embarrassingly as she scrambled of the bed to greet her mentor.

"Its ok Twilight, I know all to well how much you love to read books" remarked Celestia as she hugged her student.

"How are you feeling?" asked Celestia in her motherly tone.

"I'm fine, just a bit shaken up, thats all" replied Twilight.

"I'm glad to hear that your ok" said Celestia.

"Umm, Prin-I mean Celestia, who was the one that saved me? I would very much like to thank him or her and be friends with him" said Twilight.

"Well about your saviour, lets just say you might be surprised" chuckled Celestia.

"You can show yourself now William" informed Celestia.

Twilight tried to get a grasp on who this William is, she looked around the room but found no one. Until a mysterious figure came out from emerged from the shadows. Twilight couldn't believe her eyes, she tried to shale her head thinking it was some sort of hallucination. But the figure was real, Twilight studied the creature thoroughly. The being seemed to be that of a bipedal species, meaning it must have ties to the monkeys. It didn't have fur over its face and hands, meaning it must be smarter than monkeys. The creature however wore clothing to keep cover itself, meaning this species must have no fur at all, the being wore black clothing and had some sort of insignia imprinted on his hat, it looked much like an eagle.

"Um, hello?" began Twilight as she stared at the strange being.

"Hello there" replied the strange being.

Twilights eyes went wide in excitement as she heard the being talk.

"It can talk! Oh my gosh I must record everything!" squealed Twilight as she levitated a quill and paper out of a nearby drawer.

"Does she always do this?" whispered Kessler to Celestia.

"Yes, whenever new things arrive in Equestria, she's always the first one to record them in her books" whispered Celestia back.

"Can I ask you some questions?" asked Twilight as she looked up at Kessler. 

"Sure, but first let us properly exchange names" began Kessler as he kneeled down to become eye level with the pony.

"Oh how rude of me, my name is Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship and a bearer of the elements of harmony" 

"Glad to meet you your highness, I'm William von Kessler" said Kessler as he reached out for a handshake. Twilight looked at the hand but understood the gesture and extended her hoof. Both ended in a weird but possible handshake.

"Please, just call me Twilight" 

"Very well then, Twilight" replied Kessler.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you two but I must be leaving to attend to my night court and raising the moon. And sister you are needed in the war room for the night" informed Luna before she teleported somewhere.

"Yes my sister is correct I have some business to attend to. I will leave you two to chat now. As for accommodation William, no need to ask, your friends are more than welcome to stay for what you have done" smiled Celestia as she also disappeared.

"Now then lets get back to my topic" beamed Twilight.

"All right, whats your first question?" asked Kessler.

"What are you? Your not in the history books thats for sure" said Twilight while examining his body.

"I am a human miss sparkle" replied Kessler.

"Uhuh," while writing frantically on the paper,"where are you from?"

"I come from a place called earth"

"What nation do you come from?"

"Germany"

"What are these things that your wearing?"

"This is my uniform"

"Uniform?"

"Yes, standard officer uniform for the Third Reich"

"What is the Third Reich?"

"The Third Reich is our current ruling empire for Germany and the rest of its conquered land"

"And I'm guessing you are in a military of some sort?"

"Yes miss sparkle"

"Celestia said earlier on about "friends", is there more of you?" 

"Yes"

"Can I meet them?"

"Sure, why not"

As the Kessler and Twilight exited the room and made their way towards the fields. Kessler decided to tell Twilight about his friends for the time being. Twilights mind was racing with questions, she wanted to ask more yet what should she start with.

"Say, how did you find your way to Equestria?" asked Twilight.

"I was summoned here" replied Kessler.

"Really? Who summoned you?"

"That I cannot answer, for I haven't the slightest clue who summoned me"

"Right"

"Well here we are" said Kessler as he pushed open the doors to the fields.

As the two of them stepped outside of the palace, Twilights eyes went wide in amazement as she saw a giant tower sitting in the middle of the field. Not only that, there were grey like object sitting in the middle of the field with beings similar to Kessler.

"Oh my gosh! What is that!" exclaimed Twilight as she pointed at the tower.

"That is the London Monitor miss sparkle"

"London what?"

"London Monitor"

"Why is it called that?"

"It is the iconic defender of a city called London back on earth"

"Whats it doing here?"

"It was summoned together with me"

"Oh right, I see"

"Hold let me ask it turn" 

Kessler fished out his comm set and radioed the Monitor.

"Monitor do me a favour and face me" spoke Kessler through the comm set.

"Roger" it replied. No sooner than later, it spun its upper body and faced Kessler.

As Twilight watched in awe as the giant metal pillar turn, her brain turned from joyful to frightened as she saw the metal pillars face. The same structure was from her nightmare she had a few days ago. Big eye, weird texture, complex design and menacingly huge. Twilight compared all the details from her dream to the real life thing. 

"It can't be! It was merely a dream! How could this be happening?!" thought Twilight. Her legs started shaking and sweat started form on her head. "Thats the thing from my dream!"


"Um miss sparkle, you okay?" asked Kessler.

"Huh, oh yeah just, you know, a bit nervous seeing something this big you know. Its um very scary at first...right?" said Twilight nervously.

"Don't worry, it doesn't bite. It won't harm you or anybody else. Except the griffons and minotaurs" informed Kessler.

Twilight calmed down a bit after hearing it wouldn't harm anypony. But she would keep her distance from it though.

"So uhm, where are your friends?" she asked trying to change the topic.

"Oh their over there" pointed Kessler at the other humans who were sitting on the ground.

"Uhuh" nodded Twilight.

"Come lets go meet them" gestured Kessler as he pointed a hand towards them.

Twilight did not wan't to go any nearer to the Monitor for the nightmare she had still clawed away at her memory. She couldn't forget the horrors, and especially that metal dog that tore apart Applejack in her dreams. Even though it was a dream, Twilight still had doubts.

"Keep yourself together Twilight! This is being rude to another species and this might your ruining a good chance of learning more about them!" thought Twilight as she silently cursed herself.

"Um you coming Twilight?" asked Hans.

"Oh yes" replied Twilight as she trotted down the stairs with Kessler.

"Ah look the leader has arrived! And he brought a friend!" exclaimed Erwin as the members looked at the approaching Kessler.

"Who's the pony sir?" asked Victor.

"This my friends is Twilight Sparkle. A student of the princess and also a princess of her own. I saved her awhile back when she and her friends ran into some trouble" informed Kessler.

"Eh guess your already an errand boy for the royals?" joked John.

"Shut up ya dolt" replied Kessler.

"So what brings miss sparkle here exactly?" 

"Well she would like to study more about our race, so I brought her here to introduce more of our kind" explained Kessler.

"Twilight meet, Hans, Victor, John, Bobby and lastly Erwin" said Kessler.

"Hey there" greeted Hans.

"Hi" replied Victor.

"Pleasure to meet you ma'am" greeted John.

"Nice to meet you" greeted Bobby.

"Hello Twilight" greeted Erwin.

"Hello to you all, its nice to meet you too. Kessler told me some details about you lot but I think in time we should get to know each other better" smiled Twilight.

"Yeah we're all open to talk really, just ask at the right time and we'll be happy to oblige"

"Great, now then its getting late and I think you all are hungry. How about some dinner?" asked Twilight.

"Dinner?" the group spoke up surprisingly.

"Yes dinner" 

"Well how could we say no to that, come on guys lets get some chow" exclaimed Hans as he stood up. The rest of the group followed and they all started following Twilight and Kessler. 

> Chapter 15
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh man that was some dinner!" exclaimed John as he walked out the doors of the dining room.

"Well yeah, if you love to eat vegetables that is" Erwin shot back.

"Come on guys, at least we had something to eat" protested Bobby.

"Guys, guys. Forget the food, where are we gonna sleep?" asked Hans.

"I might be able to take care of that" answered Twilight as she trotted out of the door.

"Follow me and I'll lead you to a better room" began Twilight as she started trotting down the hallway.

Thinking of no better way, the rest of the group followed Twilight around the palace. While on the way, the rest of the members were amazed by the design of such a place. Except for Kessler, who already saw this about a dozen times.

"Well here we are" proclaimed Twilight as she stopped at a huge set of doors.

"Right lads, lets see whats inside" began Kessler as he pushed the doors open. He wasn't prepared for what he saw inside. The room was lavishly decorated with some of the finest materials that seemed to exist in great numbers on this planet. The curtains were made from fine silk and was imported from another country, there were six beds, which were made out of fine wood from the forest of the far east, the floors were lined with a special type of carpet that made it seem like you were walking in a gigantic pillow. The walls were neatly painted and there were even bathrooms in the grand room. Each of them being decorated lavishly.

"Jeez, am I in heaven?" exclaimed Victor as he felt the carpet with his hands.

"Nope, more like paradise" answered Kessler.

"Man I so wan to sleep yet I don't know where!" yelled Hans.

"Well I guess Erwin would be itching to get out of his armour now, right Erwin? Erwin?" asked Bobby as he looked around for the fire trooper. 

The squad immediately found Erwin, who was sprawled on the bed fast asleep. It seemed that he wasted no time whatsoever in removing his armour and going straight to bed.

"Sheesh talk about dignity" scoffed Victor.

"Ah let him be, were all beat after all" sighed Kessler as he landed in his respective bed. As the rest of the squad took up their own beds, the rest of them took off their armour and weapons and put them to one side as each of them laid down in their all so comfortable beds.

"Ah I don't want to leave" proclaimed Victor a he imagined himself swimming in the bed.

"I...*yawn. Im going to be guys, night" yawned Hans as he went to sleep.

Well Ill leave you to your things then, if anything I must be retiring to my room as well. Hope you enjoy the room and if you need anything, just ask the guards" informed Twilight as she exited the room and closed the doors.

"Huh well that settles it, I'm going to bed too" said Bobby.

As the rest of the squad went to sleep, their minds drifted of to the dream realm and their bodies now took a much needed rest.

"Princess, we have managed to replicate more of the guns. It seems we can distribute at least 15 to some Royal Guards for training" informed a unicorn wearing a lab coat.

"Good, and how long until we can mass produce them?" asked Celestia.

"By the end of this week we can have at least 50 guns" 

"Good"

"Princess, there hasn't been any enemy movement for the past few hours. Something is not right" reported a Stallion.

"Continue observation between the fronts" ordered Celestia.

As Celestia watched over the operations in the war room, she pondered on who will teach the stallions on how to shoot the new weapons. That was an idea popped in her head.

"Maybe Ill ask Kessler to train them" though Celestia.


"Ughh" groaned Kessler as he sat up in his bed.

"Well your up early" commented Hans as he stood near the balcony doors and was looking outside.

"Well whats wrong with waking up early?" asked Kessler

"Nothing really" replied Hans.

As Kessler looked around the room, he and Hans were the only ones awake. The rest of the squad was busy sleeping their ass's off that they didn't realise that morning had come. He decided to take a new course of action and thought that his squad shouldn't slack off. He went to the bathroom and filled up the bucket with cold water, he went outside and threw the contents of the bucket inside towards Erwin. Erwin awoke with a scream as the cold water splashed over his face.

"Holy shit! Fuck! Shit! Its fucking cold" shuddered Erwin as he wrapped his arms around his body.

The rest of the squad woke up to the screaming and wondered what it was all about. They only saw a drenched Erwin.

"What the hell! I'm wet and I have no clothes!" yelled Erwin.

"Shut up ya lazy dolt, all of you get up. Were going to do some fresh exercise, don't complain, Ill be joining you as well. And Erwin, there is fresh clothing in the pod. You can only get it after were done" said Kessler.

"Ugh, fine" grumbled Erwin.

"Aww not this again" groaned Victor.

"And here I thought we'll be given a break from the harsh exercises back in London" grumbled Bobby.

"Come on lets move!" barked Kessler as he walked out the door.

As the squad moved to the royal fields for their exercise. Hans noticed that the area was still quiet.

"Its still quiet" mused Hans.

"Probably sleeping" answered John.

As the squad finally arrived at the door. Kessler pushed it open and was met with the bright rays of the sun. It looked majestic during the morning as its rays touched the grass and its surroundings. It wasn't too hot nor cold, it was just perfect. 

"All right here's the routine. Every morning were gonna do this, and thats final so don't but in" informed Kessler as he looked at the members who all nodded.

"We'll do 20 laps around this field and 80 pushups. After the pushups its 80 curl ups, then another 20 laps around the field. Got it?" asked Kessler.

The squad responded by saying in unison.

"YES SIR!"

"Good lets move" ordered Kessler as he broke into a sprint and was followed by the rest of the squad.

As Celestia watched from her balcony at the exercising men, she couldn't help but stifle a laugh. She still pondered about asking Kessler and his men to train her troops. Normally Luna would be in charge of that, but she is occupied with other things.

"Guess Ill ask him later" thought Celestia as she wen't back inside her room.

"So how ya feelin Twilight?" asked Applejack as she and the rest of their friends busily sat around a cafe table.

"I told I'm Aj, you don't need to worry about me. Besides with those humans around, nothing bad can happen" answered Twilight.

"When I see those stallions, Ill make sure to give them a good beating" growled Rainbow as she slammed her hoofs together.

"Theres no need for that, from what I heard their long gone" smiled Twilight sheepishly.

Twilight shuddered as she remembered the scene where the stallion was completely blown away by that strange weapon, she wanted to ask Kessler what it was, but decided it should be for the future.

"Are you ok darling?" asked Rarity with a concerned look.

"Oh its nothing I just spaced out for a bit" replied Twilight sheepishly.

As the rest of them talked about their daily lives and future plans. They completely forgot about the incident, like it never happened.

"All right thats it I did all the exercises" huffed Erwin as he looked at Kessler with a tired look.

"All right, head on over to the pod and search the extra lockers, there should be an extra pair of standard uniforms in one of them" informed Kessler.

Erwin nodded at the information and walked off towards the pod. Kessler looked at the remaining members who were all sprawled on the grass and panting rapidly for air. 

"Well that was fun, don't you think?" joked Kessler.

"Not funny" answered Victor.

"Ah well we get used to this shit, at least it isn't broadway barracks where we have to do exercises plus firearms exercise without breakfast for at least 5 hours" commented Hans.

"That I can agree on" replied Victor.

"Excuse me, I hope I'm not interrupting anything am I?" spoke a Motherly voice.

Kessler spun around and saw that Celestia was standing behind him.

"Oh not at all Princess. What dis you come here for? A mission perhaps?" asked Kessler.

"No its not that, you see I have a favour to ask. Would you be kind enough to train my troops in handling these so called guns?" asked Celestia.

"Well, sure. Why not, we have John and Erwin who are the gun experts on the team. They should prove useful, what time then?" answered Kessler.

"Excellent, meet me at the barracks. Just ask the guards outside the dining room door and they should lead you too the barracks" replied Celestia, who then teleported away.

"All right you lot. Guess we'll teach these ponies on how to use firearms" ordered Kessler,"but first, breakfast"

The team sighed in joy as the heard they were going to have breakfast.

As the team walked to the dining room, Hans filled Erwin in on his new job when he wasn't present during the discussion.

"Alright, Ill have a look at their weapons and see what I can do" replied Erwin.

As the group ate their breakfast they immediately went outside and asked the guard to show them to the barracks. The guard was skeptical at first but then decided it was alright as he led them outside of the palace. As the group wen't downhill and through some areas of the city, they arrived at some sort of barracks thats was stationed her for strategic purposes.

"Well quite a place they got here" remarked Erwin as he looked at the gates.

"Eh lets get this over with" grumbled John.

As the gates opened, they walked around to an open field and saw targets already lined up. There were guns already placed by what seemed to be sandbags and stallions were busy checking them. Celestia stood by in the tower and was watching over things.

"Ah thank you for coming" shouted Celestia.

"No problem" replied Kessler.

As Celestia teleported down for a closer and more appropiate greeting. She also wanted to see how these weapons work.

"Erwin get to work" ordered Kessler. Erwin merely responded by picking up one of the rifles and examined it. Its design was fairly similar to that of a BAR rifle. Long and sleek in design it was quite big. 

"Looks similar to a BAR sir" replied Erwin.

Erwin dropped down the magazine and examined the bullets. Apparently they were that of a .45 caliber.

"Looks like they use a .45 caliber bullets sir" informed Erwin.

"Continue" replied Kessler.

As Erwin loaded in the magazine, he cocked the rifle and aimed down the sights, he breathed for a bit and pulled the trigger which was satisfied with a loud bang, as the bullet flew straight towards the target dummy and tore right through it.

"Well I get the users are for ponies, but it shouldn't be a problem to teach them. The firing mechanism is the same for all guns. So no problem there" informed Erwin as he put the rifle back down and walked over to Kessler.

"Good, you and John can teach them how to use it since you know more than us" ordered Kessler.

"Yes sir" replied Erwin,"Hey John, get a rifle, I'll gather some ponies to teach so they can pass it on to their friends" 

"Will do" replied John as he picked up the BAR like gun.

"I want to thank you for your service Kessler" said Celestia.

"No need to thank me, after all. I am always willing to help, both me and my squad" replied Kessler.

As the day slowly crept by, the hours of yelling and teaching finally paid off as the 15 stallions who learnt how to shoot, load and maintain a gun finally passed the learning stage as they all knew how to shoot their new toys. As the stallions went on to teaching their comrades on how to use this weapon. Wolfpack squad left the area and headed on back to the palace to have dinner.

"Man I'm beat" groaned Erwin as he sat down in the chair.

"Training them was harder than I thought, especially trying to shoot with hoofs is a pain in the arse. Those with horns and can levitate shit have no problem at all, but those with wings and normal anatomies are hard as fuck" commented John.

"Well at least they know how to defend themselves now" commented Kessler.

"At least" replied Victor.

As the group ate in silence, conversations would happen now and them but would end quickly. As the group started finishing one by one they waited for their last member to finish before proceeding back to their rooms. Some wanted to sleep directly while others were going to look at the night sky.

"Don't forget, tomorrow is another exercise day" reminded Kessler, before he exited the room and walked to the balcony. He stared at the stars and wondered what sort of life London was having now with him gone.
> Chapter 16
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Get up boys! Time to exercise!" yelled Kessler at his squad.

"Oh shit!" groaned Hans as he rolled off the bed and landed on the floor.

"Argh shit I'm awake" informed Victor.

"Same here" came John.

"Don't forget me" said a sleepy Bobby.

"Me too" replied Erwin.

"Good lets get going" began Kessler, as he and his squad proceeded to the royal fields.

After doing their daily exercise, the men were all sweaty and hungry. They proceeded to the dining room to have breakfast and headed back to their room to have a clean shower.

"Well I smell better now" said Hans, as he sniffed his body, which smelt like flowers.

"Eh" replied Erwin, who was still wiping his hair.

"So are we going to do anything today?" asked Victor.

"Nah don't think so" replied Kessler.

"Well if thats the case, then me and John will clean our weapons" began Erwin as grabbed his belt fed shotgun.

"Fine by me" answered Kessler.

"Princess! One of our scouting teams have returned from Griffon territories an have found a fairly large camp containing supplies for the Griffon army" informed a pegasus wearing a black cloak.

"Very good Captain, anything else?" asked Luna.

"If we can destroy this camp, we can cripple their supply lines for this front and weaken their advance" 

"Thank you Captain, I shall inform my sister about this" replied Luna before the hidden pony left.

Luna cast a teleportation spell and teleported to the throne room in which her sister was busy reading reports in.

"Oh Luna, what brings you here?" asked Celestia as she busily scanned the papers.

"Our scouts have found an enemy supply line that is vital for their army in the north" informed Luna.

"Well thats something, but how do you plan to take it out?" asked Celstia curiously.

"I actually plan to use the humans sister" 

"Say what? Luna, you know that its not right to ask them for any more jobs. Especially those that put their lives in risk" said Celestia angrily.

"But Tia, they are the only ones that can do it. If we wait for our new guns to be assembled, the enemy might attack us and we will lose the north" answered Luna.

Celestia pondered at the idea, as much as she wanted too. She did not want to use Kessler's squad again, she did not want them to die for a cause that doesn't even involve them. After thinking for a hard time, Celestis sighed in agreement.

"Fine Luna, you may ask. But, if one of them dies, you are held responsible" said Celestia grimly.

"I promise you that will not happen" replied Luna as she teleported out of the area.

As Luna teleported outside the room of the humans, she was hesitant at first but decided to knock anyway.

*knock knock

"Oh looks like someones at the door" began Kessler as he walked towards it. 

Kessler opened the door and was expecting to see a guard or some pony, instead he was greeted by Princess Luna.

"Oh Princess! What brings you here?" asked Kessler.

"May I come in?" she asked.

"Sure" he answered as he stepped to one side to let her in.

As Kessler shut the door he walked to where his teammates were.

"So what is it now Princess?" asked Hans.

"If it is of no trouble, I would like to ask you to go on a very dangerous mission. One that might halt the enemy advancement for awhile" 

"Well why not, were bored anyway. Might as well do something" answered Kessler as he looked at his teammates who all gave a positive look.

"Wonderful! Well your mission is to go behind enemy lines and destroy a supply camp that they so heavily depend on. Destroying this camp will stop all operations in the northern front for a couple of weeks, which gives us enough time to arm our troops and begin our first counter attack" informed Luna.

"AW YEAH!!" exclaimed John as he put his fists up in the air, "FINALLY!! I GET TO BLOW STUFF UP!" 

"Calm down Johnny boy, were not here yet" replied Erwin.

"So where is this camp Princess?" asked Victor.

Luna summoned a map from the war room and it instantly materialised in front of them.

"This is the spot" pointed Luna with a hoof at a encircled part of the map.

"Well, thats quite deep in enemy territory" commented Bobby.

"Well no problem for us, we go in hard and shoot everything. If enemy reinforcements show up, we can just call in the Guard Robots. Right Sir?" asked John.

"Well yeah, but I wan't to try a more stealthier approach. We sneak into the base, position ourselves at vital points. And go in with a bang, catching the enemy off guard. We sweep the area clean and wipe out any supplies. If the enemy has explosives, we detonate them" said Kessler with a determined look.

"I can agree on that" replied John.

"Princess, If you don't mind me. I shall borrow this map so that I can program the pod's destination. If you may, can you send a scout back there. I shall let a drone from the Monitor observe the place" said Kessler.

"Why sure, I shall contact the scouts that were there" said Luna before disappearing.

"All right boys! New mission, get your gear together and lets wait in the fields. We're gonna go shoot some birds tonight" said Kessler.

As the squad gathered their respective weapons and armour. They all headed on out to the fields, where they began doing a check of their armour and started resupplying their ammo.

"Hows the armour and weapons looking?" asked Kessler as he approached Erwin and John.

"Weapons are fine, they should work well for the next few years" informed Erwin.

"Most of the armour were wearing is fine. Bullets don't do much, tank shells are a problem though, other than that all thins are good" informed John.

"Good, start preparing your armour and weapons. We want to completely burn the area down" said Kessler before walking over to the Monitor.

"Is the drone ready?" he spoke through the comm set.

"Yes Sir, waiting for pony guide so mission can begin" it replied. 

The moment the Monitor said it was waiting for the pony guide, Princess Luna appeared with a pegasus who was wearing a black cloak and seemed to hide his face most of the time.

"Here is the guide that will show the drone the way" informed Luna.

"Hear that Monitor, get that drone fired up so we can start the mission" said Kessler.

As the Monitor launched the drone(Hornet) it decided to use the cloaking system installed onboard for this mission. And with the jet fast engines, the drone will be able to sweep the area. As the drone made its way down and hovered next to Kessler, Kessler decided to explain what it was and what it will do.

"This here is a Mk 2 Drone, it is equipped with the latest stealth technology and can be used to scout out enemy locations. It is equipped with weapons, which makes it deadly since it can be used to assassinate targets," he looked at the pegasus, who seemed to understand him before continuing, "anyway moving on to the mission, you will just guide the drone to the area where you spotted this supply camp and we will handle the rest"

The pegasus nodded and looked at Princess Luna before taking flight. As the pegasus started to fly off towards the northern front, the drone followed closely behind with its silent engines.

"Well now we wait" said Kessler.

"I must be leaving now" said Luna before she teleported away.

"So what do we do in the meantime?" asked Victor.

"We wait, if you have nothing to do. Just double check your equipment" informed Kessler.

As the hours lingered by, Kessler decided to put on his armour with his standard load out while waiting. It wasn't long before the Monitor contacted Kessler through the comm set.

"Sir I have arrived at the area and have done a full sweep. It seems the area is located at the base of the mountain, meaning you might get an advantage when you approach them through the mountain. The camp itself seems to be at least 1.5km wide, shouldn't be enough trouble to destroy everything. There seems to be an ammunitions depot in the middle of the area, which might prove useful in destroying the place. There seems to be an office on the other side which might contain important files, might want to check it out. There is about at least 200 personnel in the camp. I recommend stealth entry before engaging the enemy, head on. They have a tank in there, so I recommend you exercise caution sir" it informed.

"Thank you for the info Monitor, Ill use your laser blaster and stealth tec to maybe destroy the tank" replied Kessler.

"Will do sir" it said.

"Alright men, time to pack your things an head on in to the pod" 

As the squad grabbed their kits and weapons off the ground, they then headed on inside while Kessler was the last one to enter. As the pod rose into the air, the occupants checked everything, from ammo to weapons to everything they would use during this mission.

"7 hours until destination" came the P.A.

"Jeez thats quite a long trip" remarked Victor, who sat down in one of the seats.

"Well better get some rest, your gonna need it later" informed Kessler.

"Sir, what time is it?" asked Bobby.

Kessler looked around for a watch but found none, instead he radioed in the Monitor for a time check.

"Monitor, time check please"

"7:50" it replied.

"Thanks" 

"Bobby, its 7:50" informed Kessler.

"So around 2:50 am in the morning we'll begin the fireworks" mused Bobby.

"All right get some rest" ordered Kessler as he too also dozed off.

As the pod flew through the silent night towards enemy territory, little did the enemy know that they were going to get one hell of a surprise.

"Activating stealth approach, dropping to lower levels. Brace for minor turbulence" came the P.A, as the occupants started to stir.

"I swear, that thing is starting to tick me off" groaned John.

"You'll get used to it cry baby" replied Victor.

"20 seconds till landing" 

"Shit! Everybody, prepare to clear the LZ when we land, the moment we touch down its do or die" barked Kessler, as the squad scrambled to their respective positions.

"5 seconds till landin, 4,3,2,1 GO!"

Kessler was the first one to exit the shuttle when the door opened and did a front roll and went prone after finishing his roll. The rest of the squad scrambled out the door one by one and crouched down with their guns pointed in many directions. 

"All clear" said Kessler as he stood up.

The pod powered itself down lessen its presence and not get noticed by any flying creatures.

"All right, we'll climb that mountain and see what we got" began Kessler as he started moving.

The squad reached the top of the mountain, or at least the side of it, Kessler spotted a ledge that overlooks the compound and slowly made his way over there with the rest slowly following behind.

"All right, we're here" said Kessler while looking at the camp.

"What now?" asked Hans.

"Well, I spot the ammunition depot over there in the middle, and I see the office that directly communicates with the rest of the army. May e we might find some files there" answered Kessler.

"So how do we get in?" asked Bobby.

"Right, heres the plan. Bobby will stay on this ridge and snipe those bird maggots up in the tower," he looked at Bobby, "I need you to take them out as fast as possible so we won't have any problems"

"Yes sir" replied Bobby.

"Alright, once the towers have been cleared, Bobby will continue to provide sniper support while we breach the area. When we arrive at the office, I want Erwin to clear the area while we keep watch. After clearing out the area, we snatch any files that are of value and head immediately around the camp. Switch to rockets to ensure maximum damage to whatever supplies. See those fuel tanks and boxes? Blow the crap out of them. Shoot everything in sight, after clearing out the the supplies that are far away from the ammunition depot. Head on over back here and unload the remaining rockets into that depot. Lets hope we can blow it sky high. If that storage doesn't contain any explosives, we will drop in the robots and let them finish the task at hand. Got it?" asked Kessler as he looked at the group.

"Yes sir!" whispered the squad.

"Alright lets move out!" said Kessler.

As Bobby took up position on the ledge, he kept a keen view around his surroundings to see if any griffon would sneak up on him. He peered through the scope and spotted the squad in a thick bush, just near the first tower. He scanned the rest of the towers and counted four total targets. He waited for the squad to move into position at the gate, once they reached the gate, he pulled the trigger and killed the first griffon. The bullet caused wide state panic and he wasted no time in killing the rest of the targets, after successfully eliminating them all, he watched over his team as they made it all the way to the office.

Kessler and the rest of his men wasted no time in getting past the gate, they rushed straight towards the office guns blazing. As Kessler aimed his rifle left and right and trying to spot targets, he saw a griffon hiding between a stack of boxes and he unloaded his gun into it as the bullets went through the thin wood. As the rest of his team was busy blasting away, they finally made their way to the office. Kessler, Hans, Victor and John took up defensive positions while Erwin was busy clearing out the office Building.

Erwin set his ammo type to ricocheting ammo and kicked the door down. He fired his shotgun at the griffons inside which tore them apart instantly and killed any that was hiding behind cover. Erwin headed through the small building and went upstairs, he was instantly met with gun fire and the bullets hit his armour which caused his body to shake like it was an earthquake. The griffons finished unloading all their bullets into Erwin, but were surprised as he still stood an pointed his gun at them. Erwin wasted no time in unloading his shotgun and watched as the bastards were blown to pieces. Blood was splattered everywhere and feathers were falling as the final squeaks of their owners were blown to bits. As the room was cleared out, it wasn't short on documents as there were papers everywhere. He quickly picked up anything that resembled troop movements an stuffed them in his small backpack. He quickly slung his backpack to one side and proceeded to exit the room.

"Did you find anything papers?" yelled Kessler through the gun fire.

"Yup got them" yelled Erwin as he fired at a nearby griffon.

"Alright finish them off guys!" yelled Kessler as he unloaded all his bullets into the enemy griffons.

"Alright! John you take point because you have the heaviest armour. Blow the bastards up" ordered Kessler as they began moving to the outer supplies. John unloaded his rockets into a nearby fuel tank which caused it to set off a chain reaction to the nearby fuel tanks. As John kept on shooting boxes and griffons, he noticed they had formed a defensive circle. While he was busy blowing things up, the squad would protect them. As he continued to fire his rockets at griffons and supplies, he hit another fuel tank which killed the griffons who were hiding behind them.

Kessler kept his rifle firing at the oncoming griffons. Right now he wanted to focus on the task at hand and kill more griffons. As he looked around, he saw Hans and Victor working as a murderous pair as they both shot griffons left and right, like they knew where they were. As Kessler spun around he saw a griffon pointing his rifle at him, before he could fire, a loud whiz came from the distance and splattered the birds head clean off. Kessler said a silent thanks to Bobby and continued Moving. 

As the number of griffons started to dwindle, the rest started to flee while others stayed to fight, only to be mowed down by the sheer power of the german troops. Erwin kept his shotgun firing as he shot mostly air targets, it seemed that ricocheting bullets could travel for a few meters as proven. He fired at a griffon who was hiding behind some boxes and blasted his body back, leaving a huge hole. As the squad continuously murdered everything in sight, it wasn't long before the place turned into a blood bath.

Kessler aimed his rifle and fired his remaining bullets into a griffon that was standing on top of the roof of the ammunition warehouse. He noticed they had been through a full circle and had destroyed almost everything. Seeing that the only thing left was to blow up the warehouse, he ordered his men to pull back.

"Alright, I think we've killed enough griffons for today. Lets head back and blow up this joint" ordered Kessler, the squad moved hastily out of the area.

As the squad headed towards the ledge, they finished off any stranglers who escaped the camp in cowardice. As they arrived at the ledge, the found a very tired Bobby.

"Yo, you alright?" asked Victor.

"Yeah I'm gut" replied Bobby.

"Alright lets blow this joint up" said Kessler as he aimed his rocket launcher at the warehouse.

The respective members activated their heavy weaponry an all fired at the same time, they watched their projectiles hit the warehouse, at first nothing happened. But when the rockets hit, the whole place shook due to violent explosion, as debris were sent everywhere. The whole camp itself was set on fire and the explosion literally threw nearby supplies into buildings and other parts of the camp.

The squad quickly made their way up and above the mountain to get as far away from the explosion. When they finally reached the pod, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"MAN THAT WAS AWESOME!" yelled Erwin.

"Yeah I gotta agree with him, never thought I would have fun actually killing mythical creatures" exclaimed John.

"Well, glad you enjoyed the mission. Even though it nearly costed us our lives" remarked Victor.

"Well thats what you get when you join the German Armed Forces" replied Hans.

"Best job ever!" exclaimed Bobby.

"Alright, we can discuss this later. Lets go home boys, we have some sleep to attend too" said Kessler as he stood near the entrance.

As the squad started piling in, Kessler stepped on board an waited for the door to close. As the pod rose into the air, he wondered what sort of victory did he claim for the Equestrians.

> Chapter 17
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ughh" groaned Kessler as he landed on his bed.

"Hah! Finally! Sleep!" exclaimed Hans as he closed his eyes.

"Jeez, tired already?" asked Victor.

"*yawn, yep" replied Hans.

"Ah, fuck everything else. I'm going for a shower" began Erwin as he grabbed his towel and proceeded towards the bathroom.

"Go right ahead" acknowledged Kessler.

As the squad lazily went to sleep. The two sisters were busy discussing matters in the war room.

"Sister, I heard that our humans have returned victorious?" asked Luna as she walked in.

"Indeed Luna, but that was a risky thing for them. They took on the whole camp and barely escaped with their lives" answered Celestia.

"I don't think they will be doing anything dangerous for the time being. Considering that our forces will be equipped with these so called guns, the humans won't have to do much, but assist us" said Luna.

"True, and once the we end this war. We can send the humans back to their world" replied Celestia.

"*yawn, what time is it?" asked Kessler as he looked around the room.

"7:00" said Hans as he exited the bathroom.

"Well, time to do our exercise" began Kessler as he got out of bed.

"The rest are waiting for you outside the door" informed Hans.

"Wait, what time did they wake up?" asked Kessler.

"Dunno" shrugged Hans.

"Well lets do our daily thing then" began Kessler as he pushed open the doors and went towards the fields.

After their daily exercise was complete the squad had their daily breakfast and usual chat in the dining area.

"Well I'm not sure about you lot, but I'll be going for a walk" informed Kessler as he left the table.

"Eh sure, you know where to find us" said Victor with a mouthful of eggs.

As Kessler made his way out of the door he wandered through the endless halls an was lost in thought. As he rounded a corner he was thinking deeply for the actions he committed last night.

"Was it the right thing too do? Should I even help even though?  I said I promise to help them" thought Kessler.

"Arghhh! This is not helping" shouted Kessler in his head.

Kessler was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice a lavender pony walking towards him.

"Offff" groaned Twilight a she bumped into a tall being.

"Oh sorry didn't see you there" came the being.

"Its ok its-Ohhh Kessler! Long time no see" said Twilight excitedly as she looked at him.

"Its no problem Twilight" replied Kessler.

"Say, what are you doing around these halls?" she asked.

"Oh just, you know, taking a walk" he replied.

"Well if your feeling lonely, you can always come to me" said Twilight happily.

"Eh thanks for the offer but I'll pass for now. Actually screw it, lets take a walk. What do you say?" asked Kessler a he looked down at the pony.

"Why of course!" replied Twilight.

"Gut" 

As the two walked through the halls and out of the castle, they started heading for what seemed to be a park.

"So where do you live?" asked Kessler.

"I live in Ponyville, but my previous home was here in Canterlot" she replied.

"Oh, and do you have any friends around?" he asked.

"Yes, quite a lot actually. But I hardly get to hang out with them since my duties of princess have escalated" she answered.

"Oh that means your alone?" 

"No, I have ponies who work with me. And they are my best friends so I'm hardly alone" 

"Oh"

"So what about your friends? They seem nice"

"Yeah, they're a rowdy bunch. But in the end I love all like their my brothers" 

"Thats a strong bond you got there"

"It is"

"So...do you have a certain somepony?"

"Ehhhh.....nope"

"Why's that?"

"I just don't have the time"

"Surely you must have some time? Right?"

"Yeah I do, but I don't want to dip into love just yet"

"Well, thats something"

"Yeah"

"You should meet my friends sometime"

"If I'm free that is"

"Sure"

"How about now? I'm actually free"

"Well, they're sort of busy at the moment. So I can't deviate them from their duties" 

"Ah I see"

"Yep, pretty boring without them"

"Huh"

While the two were busy chatting, news from the front has escalated quickly.

"Princess Luna! The griffons are currently amassing an attack on the northern front as we speak! If we don't hurry, the wall will fall" said the messenger grimly.

"Rally thy troops, send available reinforcements to the front. We must hold them back!" ordered Luna.

"At once your majesty" replied the stallion before running off.

"Captain, I want you to start distributing the new weapons we have to a capable battalion and station them as a last line of defence. These weapons have great range so make sure they provide cover for our troops" informed Luna.

"Yes your highness" said the captain before galloping away.

"Raise the alarms! Put all stations on alert. I want all information coming from the front to be relayed back here" barked Luna.

"Yes your highness!" yelled the workers in the room.

"You there, fetch me Kessler!" ordered Luna at a pegasus who flew as fast as he could out the door.

"Well, war is not a pleasant thing Twilight" said Kessler.

"Do you always fight?" she asked.

"No, but I am always forced too, in order to protect my country and land" replied Kessler.

"Do you enjoy such things?" 

"No, well sometimes. If it concerns a law breaker then he deserves no mercy" said Kessler grimly.

Twilight shuddered at the reply, as much a she wanted too. She wouldn't believe they would do such a thing, usually a law breaker here in Equestria will stay in the Canterlot dungeons for a long time, but at the same time treated properly. 

"His land must be strict" thought Twilight.

Twilights train of thought was interrupted by a tired pegasus  who landed in front of them.

"The princess*huff, request a meeting with the one called Kessler" he informed.

"Well seems like someone is calling me" began Kessler as he got up.

"Well it has been fun learning more about your race" smiled Twilight as she watched him leave.

"If ever you wan't to ask, just stop by my room" yelled Kessler who was already at least 30m away from her.

As Kessler made his way towards the war room, he saw all sorts of stallions running in and out of the war room.

"Something big must've come up" thought Kessler as he entered the room.

"Leutenant Kessler, please. Your assistance is needed" informed Luna.

"What seems to be the problem?" he asked.

"The griffons are launching an all out assault on the northern front in a desperate attempt to launch another attack on Equestria" she replied.

"And what can I do?" he asked.

"We need you to be on standby, even though we have begun sending stallions to the front equipped with these new weapons. I believe that the line won't hold for long, that is why you must act a backup" she answered.

"I see princess, I shall inform my men and we shall move out when ready. But first I must prepare everything in order for us to fully mobilise" he said.

"I understand, but please hurry. We don't know when they'll strike. All we know is that their forces are heading towards the wall as we speak" she replied.

"Will do Princess" he said before leaving the area.

As Kessler fished out his comm set, he radioed the Monitor to start preparing.

"Monitor, begin mobilising. Destination is the northern front, we need to head there as backup and provide support if the line shall fall" Kessler said over the radio.

"Roger, beginning system checks and preparing pods and all available units. Will notify you when ready" it replied.

"Good, make it fast" informed Kessler as he made his way towards the room of his squad.

As Kessler entered the room, he found his members doing all  sorts of things but stopped when their leader entered.

"Alright you lot, we got a new mission. Grab your gear and start checking them, this battle were heading in will be a big one since we're going to fight alongside ponies this time and take on a bloody griffon army" informed Kessler.

As the team scrambled towards their things, Hans asked a question.

"Sir, where are we heading too?"

"Towards the northern front, hurry up! We don't have much time left to mobilise" barked Kessler.

As the squad moved quickly about their things, in less than 5 minutes everyone was ready with all their things packed and ready to move out.

"Alright, lets go" began Kessler as he exited the room with his squad.

"This is odd" thought the Monitor as it ran its diagnostics test.

"This shouldn't be happening, everything should be fine, maybe its just a glitch" thought the Monitor as it kept tabs on its power core for the increasing rise in the unknown energy.
> Chapter 18
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Alright lets get a move on!" yelled Kessler, as he waved his arm at the moving squad.

As the loud hum of the engines and loud footsteps of the Monitor filled the night sky, the royal fields became a hub of energy as the various machines  did their own things. As Kessler's pod started rising into the air, he saw the second one start to rise too and watched a it gracefully hovered at 1,00ft. He looked down and saw the Monitor walking slowly but surely towards its destination. As Kessler stepped back and watched the door close in front of him, h turned around and sat down in his specific seat.

"Quite the life we go here sir" complemented Bobby.

"I honestly didn't think we would be heading out too battle this early" remarked Hans.

"Well I just wanna shoot some more chickens!" exclaimed Erwin.

"Not if I land first" replied John, who got a deathly stare from Erwin.

"Alright enough yapping you two!" barked Kessler as the two quieted down.

"Its going to be a long trip from here on out so get some shut eye. We're going to need all the strength we can get to fight these griffons, even though they may seem inexperienced their numbers will overwhelm us no matter what. And ammo is going to be a problem soon if we just keep on shooting wildly" informed Kessler.

"So what do we do? Shoot until the Monitor arrives? Or go to the front lines and join the ponies in this bloodshed" asked Victor.

"Well....I haven't thought of that yet. I guess we hold them off and provide support for the ponies until the big guns arrive" replied Kessler.

"Uhuh....seems doable" commented Victor.

"Well as long as we're stopping this war, I can sleep better" informed Hans.

"Well, I didn't think griffons were much of a threat to you" remarked Bobby.

"Its not that, every moment they breath means that they are one dangerous enemy to every living being on this planet. And I'm not comfortable with those types of enemies roaming this earth, especially ones that can wield guns" replied Hans.

"Ooook...." replied Bobby.

"Alright get some shut eye you dolts, I don't want you sleeping on the battlefield when the shooting begins" ordered Kessler.

"Yes sir" replied Victor lazily as he closed his eyes.

As the rest of the squad dozed off to sleep. Kessler wen't into deep thought as he wondered what the future would hold for him and his squad. He prayed that there would be no casualties for his men, for he would rain hell on those that would dare attack his friends.

>5 hours later.

"5 minutes until landing" boomed the P.A

Kessler woke up slowly with a dizzy head, as he tried to bring back his vision, the pod shook wildly as he tried to sit up.

"Ah fuck! Dammit!" groaned Kessler as he got back up.

"What the hell was that?" asked Hans as he picked up his helmet off the floor. 

"Probably turbulence" mused Erwin.

"Are all weapons good to go?" asked Kessler as he looked at the rest of his team, which only replied with a series of nods.

"Good" replied Kessler.

"5 seconds until landing. 4,3,2,1 GO!" barked the P.A.

As soon as the door opened, the squad filed out in an orderly fashion and scanned the area. They found themselves to be in the middle of some sort of open field as they looked at their surroundings and found stallions of all sorts running here and there and camps were set up in almost all directions. There were many stallions holding guns and running towards the wall. Kessler could hear what seemed to be gunfire in the distance, which meant that the fighting has already begun.

"Shit! They've started" said Kessler grimly.

"Well then? Lets start shooting!" exclaimed Erwin.

"Not yet, we need to speak to the pony in charge of this place. I wan't to know the best position for us to use" began Kessler as he looked around. Just then a pony galloped up to him and said.

"Are you Kessler?"

"Uhh yeah? Why?" he asked.

"I am captain Longsword. I heard about you from Canterlot and heard about your ferocious fighting skills. Is it true you liberated Las Pegasus by yourself?" Longsword asked.

"Yep, thats us" replied Kessler.

"Oh thank goodness" said Longsword relieved.

"Where can we deploy so we can start shooting?" asked Erwin.

"Follow me" motioned Longsword.

As the group started following Longsword, they soon found themselves on the wall and saw the battlefield. The lands were charred and bodies were everywhere, both ponies an griffon alike. There were guns and heaps of ammunition lying around but no one would use them. There seemed to be a trench line dug out in the middle which was manned by at least a hundred ponies who were holding the line back against the oncoming griffons and tanks.

"Geez, thats one hell of a fight you got here" complimented Hans.

"Heh, we're never going to hold this front anyway not with this sort of ponypower" replied Longsword.

"Well its a good thing we came when we did" beamed Erwin.

"Alright, get yourselves into those trenches, Bobby, you stay here and provide sniper support. The rest of you get your assess down there now!" ordered Kessler.

As the squad started moving out, Kessler jogged over to the pods and began inputing orders. The pods will fly over to the trenches and deploy the Guard Robots and Panzerhunds, in turn, these machines will lay down cover support and advance on the enemy positions which will force the enemy forces back.

"Lets hope this works" thought Kessler as the pod started taking off. He broke into a sprint and ran out of the walls gates. He ran and tried to avoid machine gun fire as he got closer to the trench. As he jumped in, he was greeted by the rest of his team, who were already unloading their mags into the enemy.

"Took you long enough!" yelled Hans as he fired his assault rifle.

"Eh I had to bring in some friends" began Kessler as he started firing at a group of griffons behind cover.

As the pod hovered overhead the troops, it opened up its deployment hatches and launched the Guard Robots an Panzerhunds. The Panzerhunds were to first to come out and they wasted no time in heading straight for the nearest target. Kessler watched in amusement as he watched the dogs cause chaos amongst the griffon ranks and tore everything apart. 

He spun around as heard heavy thuds behind him and saw the Guard Robots taking up a defensive line. He watched as they all prepped their Heavy Laser Blasters and EMP cannons. As soon as the line was finished, the Guard Robots began firing their Laser Blasters and started mowing down the lines of infantry men and tanks alike. The Griffons had air support but were currently engaged by the pegasi who kept them very busy. Kessler returned to the task at hand and began firing his assault rifle at every target he could find. After using up one mag he replaced it with another in one swift motion and began firing again. He wasted no time in killing every griffon he saw.

As Kessler watched as the oncoming forces dwindled he started to relax more, but it wasn't enough as the enemy just kept on coming and coming like they were just throwing their lives away.

"Geez! These guys are like the bloody russians!" exclaimed John who unloaded his missiles into multiple groups of infantry.

"They just keep on coming! Arrghhhh" yelled Victor as he sprayed his assault rifle everywhere, sending bullets in multiple directions causing griffons to break formation and dive for cover.

"How long has it been already?!" asked Erwin.

"I don't know!" yelled Hans through the thick gunfire.

"Look out TANK" pointed Victor at an oncoming Tank.

The moment Victor said that, a Guard Robot turned its arms and faced its blaster towards the oncoming vehicle and opened fire. Which in turn resulted in the Laser cutting through the machine and killing everything inside.

"Another one to the right!" shouted Hans.

This time John aimed his rockets at the tank and unloaded his whole drum barrel into the machine before it exploded into a fiery heap.

"When will they stop?!" asked John angrily.

"I don't know!" replied Kessler.

"Look out!" exclaimed Erwin who tried to shoot at a charging griffon. But was stopped as a whizzing sound popped the griffons head clean off and the body fell.

"Whew" sighed Erwin.

"Fuck I'm nearly out!" Informed Victor.

"Your not the only one" commented Hans.

"Guys we got incoming!" yelled John as a large column of enemies began rushing over the hill.

"Fuck me!" yelled Kessler a he started shooting.

As the trench line erupted in gunfire the sky seemed to glow red which was followed by a red streak which seemed to head straight for the oncoming griffon assault. Time seemed to slow down as the red beam made its way towards the enemy, all around ponies and griffons were screaming battle cries. But none could prepare them for what happened next.

As the red beam hit the oncoming griffon force, time wen't back into its normal mode and the column of griffons were vaporised as a huge explosion erupted where they once stood.

"HOLY SHIT!" exclaimed Hans as he tried to keep his balance from the shockwave.

Kessler watched in awe as the hill that the griffons used to charge over was completely gone an that a huge crater was left in its wake. He looked around saw dirt falling from the sky and everything was quiet. The once noisy battlefield had become silent as a graveyard after witnessing that immense power. 

Kessler knew what sort of machine could unleash that sort of thing and he turned around only to he greeted by a familiar robot.

"Well look who decided to show up late" he thought.
> Chapter 19
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sorry for the late arrival, I am built to traverse cities in a short amount of time. Not go 15,000km to give fire support sir" informed the Monitor.

"Well the good thing i-ACK" began Kessler but was cut off as his body flew through the air  and his ears were filled with a powerful ringing and his vision was hazy.

"SIR!!" bellowed the Monitor as it watched the cloud of smoke and dust rise from Kessler's position. It switched to thermal vision and found Kessler's body along with his squad sprawled in different directions due to the explosion. The Monitor ran a quick scan and found that his commander was alive, well it looked alright on his terms but a doctor must analyse him quickly. The Monitor heard a faint ping as a shell hit its armour but failed to penetrate. It quickly resumed its battle stance and scanned the area, sure enough it spotted the enemy tank. And this time it wasn't going to let it live. The Monitor powered up its main Laser Cannon and loaded all missile pods. It targeted the Tank and as soon as the missiles were ready, it fired all of them which converged towards their target. As the missiles battered the tank and made deafening explosions, the tank itself was already destroyed after two missile hits, but the Monitor made sure the enemy was completely vaporised as the missiles kept hitting the last known position of the tank. After missile volley has been done the Monitor wasted no time in firing its Laser Cannon which resulted in another deafening boom and causing a small crater. 

Stallions in the trenches covered their ears as the roar of the explosion washed over them and dirt came showering upon them. Some were standing out of the trench and were blown back due to the force. The ground shook with terror as it had just taken another Laser Cannon blow. All around Stallions and and remaining members of Wolfpack squad were either trying to get off the ground or rubbing their heads in confusion to what just happened.

Kessler could only cover his ears as the explosion kept ringing in his ears, the sound was so deafening that anyone could have lost their hearing.

"Sir! Sir! Sir! came a faint voice, "SIR! SIR!" came the voice again only louder. Kessler's vision was covered by a dark figurine as he squinted his eyes to get a better look at the person.

"Don't you die on me buddy" said the familiar voice as his body started moving, which meant he was being dragged to safety.

"What....what happened?" croaked Kessler as he tried to recall what happened.

"We got hit by a tank shell, all of us except Bobby who's sitting all comfortable in his camping spot and just picking off targets like he'a at a toy store" scoffed the voice.

"Well thats something" remarked Kessler.

As his body stopped moving, his body was placed against a solid object and now he could rest his back and wait until help arrives.

"Thank you soldier, whats your name?" asked Kessler.

"Its me Hans you idiot" informed Hans as he sat down next to him.

"Oh, sorry about that, didn't recognise your voice. Where are the rest?" asked Kessler.

"Heh, we all do that. John is currently out cold but ok, his vitals are fine and so is everything in his body. Lucky bastard, he's got the thickest armour amongst us. Lucky that shell didn't land directly at his feet or else bye bye John. Erwin is also knocked out, but ok, he was the least affected since he wasn't that close. But the damn armour must've been the one that knocked him out." replied Hans.

"And what about you?" asked Kessler.

"Well aside from some bruises and cuts, a fractured left wrist and probably a fractured hand too.....I'd say thats it really, but I'm not sure about my right leg though, it feels out of place" informed Hans.

"Where is John and Erwin?" 

"They're both lying in the same spot as I found them. Their armour is too heavy too move and I only have one hand working so its best if I don't hurt myself" answered Erwin.

"Well, thats something" mused Kessler.

"What about you? Do you have any broken bones?" asked Hans.

"Hmm lets see, I can't feel my legs which means they must be broken. My back hurts like hell and my arms are in a state of shock. They won't respond well" replied Kessler.

"Well guess you'd better see a doctor. Speaking of which" began Hans as a stretcher carried by four stallions galloped up to them.

"This one needs medical attention and the other two down there need to be fetched and brought over here so I can keep an eye on them. Come back when he's done" ordered Hans as the medical stallions with the help of Hans. Lifted up Kessler and placed him on the stretcher.

"Try not to pass out will ya" remarked Hans as he watched the medical ponies take Kessler back into the wall, where he would be treated well. Hopefully.

"Will the commander be safe?" asked the Monitor.

"Since when did you start having feelings for him?" asked Hans.

"I am given the full responsibility to protect my superiors whenever on a mission. Failure to do so would mean a shut down for my loss" informed the Monitor.

"Heh, no wonder" mused Hans.

"And try to keep this a secret Herr Essenweild, but I fear that my cores won't hold up for long due to the surge in unknown power sources that I have absorbed and converted into energy. For a safe way to ensure I do not put your lives an others at risk I will shut myself down to prevent an overload and cause a nuclear fallout" informed the Monitor.

"Say what now?" asked Hans shockingly.

"You heard me" said the Monitor.

"Why not tell him?" asked Hans.

"Because I do not wan't my commander to become to attached to me. Knowing him, he develops strong feelings whoever he works with. Like you for example, he cares for all of you and regards you as brothers. If he knows I am about to do something like this,  I doubt he would approve" informed the Monitor.

"Well thats...a bit touching....but you know he's going to find out sooner or later. Knowing him, he can sometimes tell that I'm hiding a secret, I will try my best though. You have my word" answered Hans.

"Thank you Here Essenweild" began the Monitor as it resumed watch.

"I hope that fool hasn't developed too much feelings for this machine" thought Hans worriedly as he sat down and leaned against the foot of the Monitor.

"Hey doc, what sort of thing did you do to me?" asked Kessler as he sat up straight on his bed.

"Oh just some simple healing spells and a few arrangements. I do find it interesting about your skeletal structure. I am quite intrigued and honestly I had a hard time wondering which pieces go together. But relating your structures to that of a monkey I had little time repositioning your bones and fixing that broken hand and wrist and legs an feet of yours" beamed the Doctor as he picked up his clipboard.

"What your name doc?" asked Kessler.

"Ah my name is Steven Trench but Doctor Trench is fine" i formed the Doctor.

"Thank you Doctor Trench, I can't thank you enough" thanked Kessler.

"My pleasure mister Kessler" replied the Trench.

"I have a few of my buddies with the same problem, you think you could also patch them up?" asked Kessler politely.

"Why sure! I'd love to help some more. Just drop by this tent later and I'll see what I can do" beamed the Doctor before exiting the area.

"Well that settles it, time to return to the field and check on my friends" began Kessler as he grabbed his armour and gear. After 10 minutes of fiddling around, he finally got everything on except his helmet as he hung it on his waist and slung his assault rifle on his back. He exited the area an looked around, the camp was busy as usual only this time there were stretchers coming in and out of various medical tents. Some empty some bloodied or some just carrying dead bodies.

"Jeez, poor guys. I'll make sure to end this war for these guys just so they can rest in piece later on" thought Kessler as he started walking towards the gate. As he exited the area, he could still see clouds of smoke as there were still burning wreckages of vehicles in the distant, the land was uneven now as the previous Laser blast had levelled the whole mountain where the enemy once stood. Now its just a crescent hole. As Kessler kept trudging through the dead field he kept seeing dead bodies f stallions and griffons alike, only that the bodies of the stallions were being taken back to be buried properly and the griffon bodies were being burnt.

"Must've affected them all" thought Kessler as he passed a group of crying stallions who were all mourning for their dead friend. Kessler stopped and stood next to the crying stallions and read the make shift grave.

"Here lies Feather Dust, died defending the proud land of Equestria. May Faust guide him all"

"Hope you rest well soldier" thought Kessler as he gave a salute and continued on his journey. The only thing that seemed alive right now was the towering 80m tall behemoth that stood in the centre of the dead battlefield and was watching for any signs of hostile activity.

"Jeez, it never fails at its job now does it" though Kessler as he approached the hulking piece of metal.

"Well look who decided to join the party" said Bobby as he greeted Kessler with a smile.

"Well I'm here now" said Kessler as he looked at the squad. All of them had their helmets removed but kept their armour on as an enemy attack might be imminent. 

"How are you walking already?" asked a shocked Hans.

"The doctor gave me some sort of healing agent. You all should try it, will fix you up real good" informed Kessler.

"Yeah, except I need help getting there" remarked Hans.

"Hold on a sec. Hey you! Get a stretcher on the double" ordered Kessler at a nearby stallion who nodded and ran off.

"Just wait for the stretcher and you'll be good in no time" informed Kessler as he patted Hans's shoulder.

"How are you lot holding up?" asked Kessler as he looked at the rest of them.

"I'm fine, just a bit shaken up though" informed Erwin.

"Same here only that my body hurts. No broken bones though, I checked" answered John.

"Say, wheres Victor?" asked Kessler curiously.

"Oh I forgot to tell you, he was the first one to the taken in by the medical staff, I didn't see much but he was hammered quite hard" said Hans.

"WHAT?! Where is he now?" said a shocked Kessler.

"Currently in the camp isn't he? Didn't you see him?" asked Hans.

"No" replied Kessler.

"I saw Victor being brought in, I think it was medical tent 27" informed Bobby.

Jut as Kessler was about to say something, the stretcher team arrived and they all helped put Hans on it before taking off again.

"Tent 27 was it?" asked Kessler.

"Yep, I think" replied Bobby.

"I'll catch you all later" began Kessler as he jogged back towards the camp. As the team waved goodbye they all sat in silence as they waited for their next move. 

Kessler moved at a quickened pace as he wondered through out the base looking for medical tent 27. After what seemed like hours of countless wandering, he finally found the tent and entered it. I side he found various different stallions being tended too. Some were wrapped in bandages others were being operated on or just sleeping. Kessler scanned the room for any unusual things, sure enough he spotted Victor lying at the last bed with two doctors surrounding him. His armour and belongings were placed near him which made it easier to find him. 

As Kessler approached the bed, he recognised Doctor Trench amongst the two.

"Hello Doctor" said Kessler as he walked up to Victors bed.

"Ah, Hello there Mister Kessler, I see you must be eager to hear about your friends condition. I'm sorry for not telling immediately but I had to operate quickly" informed Trench.

"Thats ok doc, hows he doing?" asked Kessler worriedly.

"Well, when he first arrived I'm not sure if we could've save him. But now it looks like the odds in our favour. Me and Doctor quill here along with some others whom left earlier have managed to fully repair his broken back and ribcages. Unfortunately his left arm has been broken and the spell is still trying to rearrange it, his right arm is dislocated and we're going to initiate the process now. After that we shall move on to his legs which we will also repair" informed the Doctor Trench, as he and Doctor Quill charged up their horns and began covering Victors right arm and legs in a yellowish glow. After what seemed like 10 minutes of sweating and chanting. The two doctors finally stopped the spell and sat on the floor with a heavy sigh.

"It is done" informed Doctor Trench.

"Thank you doctor for you service. So whats the progress?" asked Kessler.

"We have managed to relocate the arm and the spell will now do its job. As for the legs, a few broken bones but we've managed to fix that. A duplication spell shouldn't hurt and its now good as new" answered Doctor Trench.

"Thank you doctor, both you and Quill for your hard work. I really appreciate it" thanked Kessler.

"No worries, although your friend might be in be for at least two days. I'll check on him now and then don't you worry" beamed Doctor Trench.

"Hey doc, sorry if I sound a bit accusing. But your not an average day doctor aren't you?" said Kessler.

"Why yes your correct there, I am indeed an elite doctor handpicked by Celestia herself to attend the frontlines. I was stationed here when the war started. We excel in many medical fields such as healing spells or total cleansing or purging. We are the best you can get sir" said Trench proudly.

"Glad to have you around doc" smiled Kessler.

"I am flattered, now if you must excuse me I have to attend to my other patients. I suggest letting your friend rest for now" began Trench as he walked out of the tent and disappeared from sigh.

"Well he's and interesting fellow" though Kessler. As he exited the tent, he took one final glance and Victor and walked out assuring himself that he'll be fine. As he walked around the area, he could see the battle hardened stallions moving about and getting ready. He could see the fresh recruits who just experiences their first battle having a metal trauma as they stared at random directions with the loom of fear in their eyes. He saw troops just lying down exhausted as they were relieved to be out of the fight for a change. As Kessler continue walking, he climbed the steps and headed up onto the wall. As he reached the top, he overlooked the dead battlefield from left to right. All he could see was dirt, not a speck of green anywhere. He watched a group stallions carrying what seems to be their country's flag as they set it up the border. Kessler watched the sun set on the horizon ever the lifeless field as it would be the last day that field ever saw action again.

"I'm coming for you, you greedy king. I'll let you taste the power of nazi Germany" thought Kessler as he clenched his fist, "I'm coming for you"
