There is a flood on the horizon. Equestria's enemies have united, and the coming tide will not only change the course of history on one world, but two, and bring about a monumental meeting that will bring brothers and sisters from those two worlds together.

At long last, the downtrodden will rise.

The battle begins.

It all started in 1978... The Korean Peninsula became hot, and so did the Fulda Gap. Tensions were already becoming high as the DPRK Modernization program threatened the South Korean military which went on the offensive. The dominos fell as the Soviets got involved and so did the Chinese, then did the United States and the rest of NATO and her allies.

Everything in Europe was quiet, until tank waves from the Warsaw Pact bulldozed over West Berlin as the NATO forces gave a stiff resistance but ultimately fell. West Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, all fell under the Soviet Armored might, but at a steep cost. As Europe fell and the British Isles again being the last lifeboat of Democracy in Europe, NORAD had what one might call, a miss input. The screens rang red as the personnel were panicking and the use of Nuclear Retaliation has be authorized, but none of them knew it was a storm that tricked their sensors.

With a sudden nuclear attack from NATO, the Soviet Union returned the favor by unleashing the entirety of it's nuclear arsenal, NATO did the same. One by one, every major city became nothing but ash. What's left of NATO, pulled it's resources together to make a portal to transport Humanity as scientists estimated that a new Ice Age would be arriving soon.

In a new world, with 600,000 military personnel and only 5,000 civilians, the United States must reform and rebuild in this new and unknown world. 6 years of grueling hell, and now they must deal with the local aliens that inhabit this world, while violently inserting itself into their geopolitical matters.

1982, a summer just like any other, but a string of border conflicts and botched talks finally pushed the world to world war three, and after that-

Nuclear armageddon.

Nobody surrendered, but nobody kept fighting the war either.

After the end, scientists of all sides and factions concluded a new impending ice age that would wipe out all of humanity. But instead of digging bunkers and accepting the cruel fate, humankind started to work on one-way portals that would hopefully link them up to a habitable planet, and just before winter arrived in 1984, they did it.

One by one, refugees, soldiers covered in bandages and mud, and politicians that soldiers surround formed massive lines to enter the portal. The ones who managed to go across all had the same question-

"Is that a talking horse?"

Based on the HOI4 mod "Equestria at War" and its submod, "Escalation 84" by Euro-General. Timelines are based on season six but altered to fit more into the EaW universe. Special thanks to previously Jadenone and now Ariandel for editing.
It has some comedy in it, but not the entirety of it.

(any depiction of real-life politicians or ideologies does not represent the view of the writer himself, please don't cancel me if you see your favorite/most hated politician being portrayed in a negative/ positive light)

It was actually supposed to be a normal day as Celestia raised her sun and Luna lowered her moon, until a blinding flash of light engulf all of Equestria and Crystal Empire.

These two nations suddenly find themselves in a strange new world filled with war, chaos, and disharmony, how will they survive?

Let's find out!

This story is inspired by 'Summoning Japan'.

Author's note : I want to let you guys know that this story suffers stagnation and decline, each new page takes longer to upload, this is because both the Writer (Me) and the Editor (Flowbux) have a lot of real life matters such as School and college that keeps both of us busy and having difficulty in finding a free time to write the story. Except for my second editor! (Escalator).

BUT, this doesn't mean this story will be cancelled, I made a promise to finish this story and give it the ending it deserves! I just hope that one of you will volunteer to help us complete this project, you will be given the freedom to influence the storyline and even adding characters you might want to add to the story.

So if any of you are interested in helping you can always contact me.

As long as there have been humans, people have disappeared without explanation; and as long as there has been militaries, there have been those who go missing. In 1986 I was one of those who vanished into the land of Equestria. At the time I was flying an F-14 Tomcat with the U.S. Navy's VF-84 fighter squadron. But life has a funny way of getting in the way of our plans and causes us to create new ones. My story was one of many. Along the way I got to know many famous people and help improve the nation of Equestria. I now write my story and hope you enjoy.

New side story here.

Markus Becker is a Hauptmann, or Captain, of the German "Bundeswehr", mechanized Infantry. At least he was, until his armoured car hit an IED and he was sent to Equestria. There he found, that he couldn't move, no matter how hard he tried.
Luckily for him though, there is four-hooved help nearby...

'Sex'-warning added for a few sexual implications here and there... and because of chapter 32.

Added 'Gore' because I noticed that I went a little overboard with the descriptions of the action. Especially given that it is rated 'teen'.

After being blown up, Lilly wakes up as a cartoon filly, knowing she was lucky enough to be given a new life, Lilly will need to navigate her way through this new world. Much to her annoyance they still treat her like a child. She just hopes the rest of her squad made it out. All she wants in her new life is a little respect from those around her. Maybe she should just let herself live the childhood she never got.

Two worlds, two peoples, two varying ways of life. For Equestria and its people, peace has been a staple of life for generations under the watchful eyes of their alicorn protectors. Resources and necessities for life are abundant, and the few times it has been threatened by external foes have ended in an Equestrian victory.

For mankind however, life is a brutal battle for survival in the war-torn hellscape of nuclear devastation. Violence and survival have been a mainstay for the last three decades, and only recently has a coalition tried to reestablish civilization. But the Earth is dying, and this last bastion of humanity only number around 50,000. For man, doom seems inevitable.

One day, two men accidentally discover something that will change the fates of both worlds forever. One man will discover Equestria and its prosperity, coming into contact with the very best Equestria has to offer. He will be shown kindness, and in turn, he will teach them understanding.

Regardless, the rest of Equestria will come to fear what they do not understand and after a tragedy costs humanity's good will, mankind will be left no choice but to invade in the name of survival. A sad tale, but one that history has repeated on numerous occasions. In the end, it will be up to a handful of individuals on both sides to find a solution and bring an end to the conflict. Will these two worlds come to terms and learn to coexist, or will one species be eradicated by the other?

War. Noun. (1) : a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state.

"Soldiers are always preparing to fight the previous war" is a saying that is common amongst those of military profession. Equestria has not seen a war on her own soil in several hundred years. As such, would she be prepared for when such a thing happens? Of course not.

Battling the griffons and the minotaurs has been a challenge due to lack of experience. Fortunately, her armies adapted and started to hold her own. That was, until Tirek returned and aided in the fight to defeat Equestria. To keep his friends safe, Discord successfully defeated Tirek and sealed him away. The cost of fighting Tirek? Dying. Knowing that he would die, Discord summoned several creatures to protect his friends. These creatures, never seen before in Equestria, are very familiar with the concept of war.

This world has experienced their second industrial revolution and Equestria is at war, a World War, the first this world has seen. Equestria and her citizens have a lot to learn if they want to see the end of this conflict with their culture and way of life preserved.
