//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: The Operation // Story: World War FIM: The Summer of Dejection // by IronCaptain19 //------------------------------// May 29, 2017 Off the coast of Punta Gorda Natural Reserve, Nicaragua      A ship sailing in the Carribean sails near the shore.      "Aha! There it is." Spiror said as he saw the beach. He turned the ship straight at the coast line. As he approached the water got so shallow the ship stopped near at the beach.      "Ok, no one is around so this is the perfect place to begin." He thought to himself. Spiror walked around the dead corpse of a crew member that was on board then jumped from the ship onto the sand.      "Ok let's begin." Spiror said as he used his magic to unload materials. Orlando, Florida, United States      Sam was laying in bed while staring at the ceiling. He crossed his arms and pondered to himself.      "Hey, Sam." Twilight said as she walked in his room.      "Oh, Hey Twilight." He replied. Twilight then sat in his chair he had next to his computer.      "So, what is it?" Sam asked.      "What?"      "Why did you come into my room?" Twilight remained there silent.      "Uh, I wanted to get to know you more, well because you've helped us a lot even though we randomly found you." Twilight said while looking down.      "Ok, so what do you want to know?" Sam asked.      "Well, tell me about what you like to do and stuff." Twilight answered.      "Okay, so I don't like to do much, I just go to work and come home and play some video games and talk with my girlfriend and her brother." He said.      "Oh, cool, what has your life been like here?" Twilight asked.      "Well, I was born in Florida and I moved to California when I was older with my dad who is in the military. I'm working on getting into a school in Japan to learn art and animation. After high school I spent 2 years in Norway, exploring the country. It's very nice and I'm even fluent in their language." Sam said.      "Where's Norway? Is that in the United States?" She asked.      "No, no, Norway is another country." He replied.      "Can you say a sentence in their language?" Twilight asked. Sam then cleared his throat.      "Jeg liker ikke ponnier." Sam said in Norwegian.      "What does that mean?"      "Oh, don't worry about it."      "Wait, what happened to your store?" Twilight asked.      "Oh, it's Memorial Day I don't have to work." Sam said.      "What are you remembering?"      "All the soldiers that have died for the United States." Sam said.      "Well, that sounds sad."      "It does, but they died so we can be free, so I'm grateful." Sam said.      "What other countries exist in this world?" Twilight asked eagerly for more information.      "There's Canada, which is our northern neighbor, we have The United Kingdom, it's quite unique, 4 countries united to form one big country, they're called: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.      "Ooooh, that's so cool! I bet the 4 countries are super friendly and loving towards one another." Twilight said as Sam began to laugh.      "What?" Twilight asked confused.      "Oh no they do not! Scotland wants out!" He said laughing.      "Well that doesn't sound fun, haven't these countries learned what the value of friendship is?" Twilight said.      "To be honest, no country here does." Sam said.      "Who raises your sun and moon? Does the President of the United States raise the sun?" Twilight asked.      "Ha ha, no he can't do that, though it appears he's been in the sun a lot. The sun raises by itself because our planet rotates." Sam answered.      "Oh how cool! Back in Equestria, our Princess raises the sun." Twilight said.      "So, what are you guys going to do about that Spiror guy?" Sam said as stood up from his bed.      "I don't know, he's vanished." Twilight said. Meanwhile in Nicaragua... Spiror was building a machine about 4 meters tall and 20 meters across.      "This better work." He said as he pulled a lever. The machine began to release exhaust and make a high pitched noise.      "It's working! It's working!" Spiror said as the machine began charging up. Tel Aviv, Israel      "Okay, Mr. Doren why did you want to meet me here? How can I help?"      "We need to in-act the SETI steps of Extra terrestrial discovery." Mr. Doren said.      "What is it?"      "A set of unknown creatures was in America and may have been involved in the recent attack."      "Do you have any proof?"      "I do in fact." Mr. Doren showed him the photo of the Mane 6 in Orlando.      "How would you rate this on the Rio scale?"      "8, Far Reaching" Mr. Doren said.      "How so?"      "Because there is defiantly a big threat and the extra terrestrials are on earth but a little bit more research needs to be done." Mr. Doren explained.      "Should we alert the UN?"      "No, not yet America already is doing an investigation, let's see how that turns out." Washington, DC, United States      "Mr. President we have an urgent update." An advisor said as he ran in the Oval Office.      "Ok, I'm on my way." The President said as he stood up from his desk and ran to the Emergency Operation Center.      "Hello, Mr. President." The Vice President said as the President entered the EOC.      "Micheal? What are you doing here?" The President asked as he entered the EOC.      "The Vice President needs to be here too sir, he's on your line of succession." The FBI Director said.      "The same Scientist that detected the first anomaly in Orlando has contacted us again, he found another one." The General said.      "Where is it?" The President asked.      "In Nicaragua, specifically the Punta Gorda Nature Reserve. We believe this to be where the terrorist or extra terrestrials are, we need to act now Sir." The FBI Director said.      "How sure are you?" The President asked.      "100% Sure sir, they detected the same exact type of signal."      "How do you suggest we react?" The President asked.      "We can fire tomahawk missiles to destroy any foreign technology and wipe out enemies." The General suggested.      "No, we've already used those on Syria I don't want to use them again so soon, the public will be mad again especially if they don't know why. And Russia, they have threatened to retaliate if Syria is attacked again, how would they react if we attack a country again without giving a reason why?" The President said.      "You have a point Sir, how else do you suggest we handle this?" The General said.      "Hmmm" The President sat there with a pen in his hand thinking on what to do.      "Navy Seals, we can send Navy seals to bring in the terrorist or extra terrestrials." The President suggests.      "Alright, how soon can we get American boots on the ground?" The FBI Director asked the General.      "Probably within 24 Hours." The General replied.      "Alright but don't let the public know yet." The President said as he stood up and walked away. Ponyville, Equestria      The CMC arrived at Twilight's Castle with Big Mac.      "Twilight." Apple bloom said as she knocked on the door.      "Do you think she's home?" Scootaloo said while looking to Apple Bloom with a confused face. The door then opened slowly.      "Uh, Twilight?" Apple Bloom said while leaning her head in. Out came a small green and purple dragon.      "Oh, hey Spike, where's Twilight?" Apple Bloom asked.      "Uhh Twilight isn't here right now." Spike replied.      "Where is she?" Apple Bloom asked.      "Yeah, and where have our sisters gone?" Sweetie Belle asked.      "Can't tell you here, get inside." Spike whispered with his claw covering part of his mouth. All four of them quickly walked in and Spike shut and locked the door behind them.      "So, what's going on?" Apple Bloom asked.      "Wait until we're in the throne room." Spike said as he continued speed-walking. The big doors of the throne room threw open as they quickly went inside. A Pony was already waiting for them sitting down in one of the thrones.      "Oh, Hi Starlight! What's seems to be the problem?" Apple Bloom asked.      "Spike, Discord, secure the area." Starlight ordered.      "Yes Ma'am." They both said as the ran checking around the room.      "All clear." Discord said as he teleported back in the room.      "Alright..." Starlight began as she took a deep breath while looking up and down.      "Twilight and the girls had a friendship problem and it kinda..." She paused.      "ledteitoaotherdimenshun." Starlight very fast.      "Uh, what was that?" Apple Bloom said. Starlight grew nervous.      "Ledemtoanterdemanshin." She whispered while covering her mouth with her hoof.      "What?! Speak up!" Sweetie Belle yelled losing her patience.      "IT LED THEM TO ANOTHER DIMENSION OKAY?!?" Starlight yelled.      "What?! Where?" Apple Bloom said panicked.      "I don't know okay? Just somewhere... we're still trying to figure it out because, Discord... screwed it up." Starlight said with an angry tone when she said Discord's name.      "Why do you assume it's my fault?" Discord said defensively.      "Because Spike told me last time you opened the portal some aliens tried to kill you!" Starlight said as she slowly approached Discord.      "Oh it is on." Discord said with fire in his eyes.      "Stop!" Sweetie Belle yelled.      "We need to work on finding them and fighting with each other won't get us there will it?" Sweetie Belle explained to them.      "Okay... We're sorry." Starlight and Discord said simultaneously.      "Good, now back to finding them." Sweetie Belle said as she tipped her head up.      "Discord, is it possible to open up a portal in a different location that won't get us killed?" Starlight asked.      "Oh I can't." Discord replied.      "What? Why not?" Starlight asked with low patience.      "You see, where they are is far beyond where I can even rip the fabric of reality to get us there. If I don't know where I'm going, I can't go there." He explained.      "But you opened the portal just fine back at the castle." Starlight said.      "Well that was because I saw Spiror do it, and I was able to mimic the spell." Discord said.      "Uh, who's Spyroar?" Scootaloo asked confused.      "It's, Spiror like a "Spear" and "or", Spear-or." Starlight corrected Scootaloo.      "He's the monster the girls were fighting before they went into another dimension." She explained.      "Okay, I'm going to work on a spell to get Twilight help. You guys, stay here where it's safe." Starlight said.      "Aren't you gonna get your girlfriend to help?" Scootaloo said teasing Starlight.      "Wha-What are you talking about?" Starlight replied.      "Trixie, she can help you guys come up with a spell." Scootaloo said.     "I-I don't know wha-what you are talking about we... we're not together." Starlight said blushing.      "Yeah, you are." Scootaloo said.      "No, we're not." Starlight replied.      "Yes."      "No"      "Yes!"      "No!" -Cut to Twilight-      "Yes!" Twilight said.      "What is it Twilight?" Applejack asked.      "You know what girls, I just realized something." Twilight replied.      "The reason why the magic of friendship doesn't work well here is because, there isn't a lot of friendship on this planet." Twilight explained.      "So... what does that mean?" Rainbow Dash asked.      "Spiror doesn't have the power to feed off of hate and distrust, but he can be resistant to the magic of friendship because of the lack of friendship in this world. Sam told me that countries here constantly go to war with each other rather than be friendly and kind to one another. And Scotland wants out of the United Kingdom! How would you feel if one of us suddenly wanted out?" She said.      "Well, pretty bad, and what's Scot-" Rainbow Dash replied while being interrupted.      "Exactly! This world needs to come together and be friends! It would be so much better for them." Twilight spoke.      "Alright gals, I'm gonna head to my girlfriend's house for a bit so if you need anything just call me, or you know what just hit that button right there." Sam said as he pointed towards the mouse on a computer on the call button for Skype.      "Okay? See ya." Sam said as he grabbed his keys.      "Sam, wait!" Twilight shouted.      "What is it?" Sam turned around.      "When will you be back?" Twilight asked.      "Around 9:00"      "Okay, see ya then."      "Bye girls." Sam said as he walked out the door. Sam locked the door and walked to the driveway.      "So freaking weird that there are ponies, in my house." Sam said to himself as he unlocked his car. He then got in his car and drove away. Washington, DC, United States      The President layed on his bed staring out into space thinking.      "Best leader eh? I think I can pull it off." The President thought to himself. The door to his bedroom then opened.      "Who is it?" The President asked as the First Lady walked in.      "What are you doing here all by yourself?" She asked.      "Oh, I'm just, worried. It's just that, there is a possible huge problem about to happen and still barely anyone in his country trusts me or even believes in me." He replied.      "I believe in you." The First Lady said to him.      "Thanks, that makes me feel a little better. I just want this country, this world to be safe, especially for you and our children." The President said.      "Well don't worry, you can do this! Show the American people that you are a good leader and that you can protect us." She said.      "That really helps, thank you." The President replied.      "I'm gonna stay up for a little while longer, how about you?" She asked.      "I'm gonna call it a night."      "Ok, I love you!"      "Love you too." The President said as the door closed.      "I can do this." He said as he turned off the lamp and went to sleep. May 30, 2017      The President woke up to knocking on his door.      "Mr. President, the Seals are approaching their destination. We need you in the Operation Center now." A secret service agent said. The President stumbled out of his bed rushing to adjust his tie and hair.      "Just a second, I'm on the way." The President said rushing. He then opened the door and hurried the EOC.      "Mr. President they're 2 minutes out from the destination, have a seat please." The General said.      "Lt. Herald and 4 others will be conducting this operation, the plan is to take the boss of the attackers and bring back some items that will make it easier to understand what happened in Orlando." The General informed the President.      "Thank you, General." The President replied.      "This is Lt. Herald, we've arrived in Nicaragua." Lt. Herald said.      "Copy Lieutenant, proceed with objective Alpha." The General said over a headset.      The Navy Seals landed their chopper on a beach and began sneaking. They snuck through the bushes wearing camouflage. Herald paused and gave a hand signal to move right.      "General, we do not have a visual on any terrorists." Lt. Herald said.      "Copy that, keep searching the area." The General Responded.      "Stop..." Lt. Herald said as he saw something.      "Uh, General we have a visual on something." Lt. Heral said.      "What is it, Lieutenant?"      "It's some kind of, alien like creature, and there are multiple." Herald replied.      "Copy, attempt to engage stealthily." The General ordered.      "Yes General, come on move it." Lt. Herald said guiding his team. One of the guards looked over in their direction and spotted them. He began to get a spear before he was shot by one of the Seals.      "One Tango Down." Herald said over the radio.      "Herald you have to hurry, you can't leave a body out in the open, they'll see it." The General said. A remaining guard noticed it and immediately ran.      "Spiror!" The guard yelled as he ran up to him.      "We have invaders!" The guard said panicked.      "Where?"      "That way!" The guard pointed toward the dead guard. Spiror marched his way over to the dead guard.      "Hmm, doesn't look like the ponies were here, the weapons to kill him weren't magic." Spiror said as he examined the body. The Navy Seals continued to search for the technology.      "Hey, hey boys, I think we found something." Herald whispered to the others as he spotted something.      "General, we have a visual on some kind of machine, like an industrial machine." Lt. Herald radioed in.      "Copy Lieutenant, examine the area and take what might help us get to the bottom of this." The General replied. The team moved towards the machine and unloaded crates next to it.      "Sir, the stuff in here is, way above the technology we have." Herald said.      "Copy, take what you can and find the leader." The General replied.      "Yo, dude this is some E.T stuff man." Sgt. Sanderson said.      "Take what you can and let's keep moving." Herald ordered.      "Fine." Sanderson said. He loaded his bag with the alien technology and zipped the bag.      "Ok, ready to go-" Sanderson turned around to see Spiror right in front of him.      "Aw Shi-" Sanderson was hit by Spiror's magic. The rest of the team stopped what they were doing and froze.      "General, we, we..." Herald said over the radio.      "What was that Lieutenant?" The General asked. The Seals pointed their weapons at Spiror.      "US NAVY! ON YOUR KNEES AND PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD." Lt. Hersld yelled to Spiror as he began to laugh.      "WAS I NOT CLEAR? ON YOUR KNEES NOW!" Herald yelled.      "Bring it." Spiror said as he launched magic beams at them.      "Ahhhh! General! We got a problem! OPEN FIRE!" Lt. Herald said to the General while directing his team.      "What is going on?!" The General replied anxiously. The President got worried to the sound of gunfire coming from the General's headset.      "Mr. Presidnet we need to abort, do we have your permission?" The General asked.      "Yes!" The President said nervously.      "Match Stick, Repeat, Match Stick. Rally at point Bravo for extraction." The General said over the radio. The remaining Seals continue to fire at Spiror.      "I'm out!" Herald yelled to the last remaining Seal with him.      "I'm out too." The Seal said.      "I guess that's it." Lt. Herald told him before the remaining Seal got blown up.      "General, there's no hope for us, it's a bust. Tell my wife and baby that I love them very much." Herald said over the radio.      "Lieutenant, negative, you're going to make it, just get to the rally point." The General replied.      "......"      "Lieutenant?"      "......"      "Lt. Herald is down." The General said to the President.      "Oh no..." The President sat there shocked. Static began to be picked up on the radio.      "Lieutenant? Is that you?" The General said.      ".....You are finished.....your world.....your people.....will fall to me. All Hail Spiror." Spiror said before crushing the radio.      "What? Hello?" The General lost connection.      "Sir, what was that?" The President asked.      "It was something saying that our world is finished that we'll fall to, Spiror." The General explained.      "What does that mean?" The Secretary of Defense asked.      "It means we're in deep trouble." The General replied.
