The german and american leaders where in canterlot places guards training field. Princess Celestia smiled and said, “Welcome to the training field, here we test new weapons and armor.” she turned to a white pony and said, “Put some of the heaviest armor we have on the target dummies please.” the pony nodded and walked away.
“Ok set up the 50 cal.” jack said to two of his soldiers with him. Who start to set up a heavy machine gun. It was long and clunky. It was was up around 100 meters away. “this is the american bowing .50 caliber heavy machine gun. It fires 12.7 mm rounds. It is strong enough to rip through 24 mm of steel armor from 100 meters.” he said as one of the soldiers get a box magazine and attached it to the Side of the gun and pulls the belt of bullets into place.
As the pony returned with two other pony each carrying armor Alexander wave one over. As the pony walked over he said, “I’d like to see the armor.” The pony nodded and handed it to him. Alexander took the armor and looked it over, it was thin only about the thickness of his finger. “And how is this your heaviest armor?”
Celestia smiled sheepishly, “It isn't. This is a experimental armor and I figured this would be the best time and way to test it.”
“this will be good ok everyone don't get in the line of fire of the machine gun, unless you want to be shot.” he said and hands the princess and equestrian ear muffs. “fire on my command!” jack shouted as the machine gunner ready’s the gun. “gun is ready sir!” the gunner yield to jack.
Alexander turned the chest plate over to find a gem on the inside he flicked it and when he did he felt something push his finger back. He looked up as the soldier on the 50 cal fired, the round nearly hit the armor only to come straight back at them and hitting the ground next to them.
“Dam shielding but can it hold against armor piercing.” the gunner said and held down the trigger firing the armor piercing, he and incendiary rounds. The ap was able to go through the he followed in behind the ap and the inciudary donated on the shielding.
“STOP” Celestia yelled as a round hit the ground near them again. “If you keep attacking somepony may get hurt.”
The gunner couldn't hear hear since she wasn't using a hand signal needed. But jack gives the signal to stop. Which the gunner ceases only for a traser to bounce off his helmet.
“Listen the armor has a gem in it that will repel an object traveling at it.” Celestia said.
Alexander thought for a moment then said “And it seems that, that gem needs a second or two to recharge judging by the fact that some rounds made it through.”
“let's see how it does against anti tank warfare.” jack said and one of the U.S. soldiers wield a long tube takes position. The show gets ready and a soldier goes behind him and loads a rocket into the bazooka. “the is the U.S army's bazooka it launches a rocket that can pierce any tanks armor.” Jack said looking over at the princesses.
Alexander responded before Celestia could, “Jack with all do respect, not only do I think it won’t work but it's also dangerous so for now let's try it at a later date and with some cover around.”
Celestia then said, “And somewhere else as I don't think the guards like hole being put in the barracks walls.”
“fine we can do it some other time. Pack up the weapons men.” he said to the machine gunner and a at soldier. “It would be better to demonstrate are weapons on a target that doesn’t have magic on it. But we must start are meeting to decide what happens to me and Alexander’s men.” jack said looking over at celestia and luna with a serious look in his eyes.
“Yes. Please this way.” Celestia responded and started walking back into the castle. They all followed her to a room with a large table and enough chairs around it for everyone. Celestia and Luna sat down next to each other.
Alexander and jack walk in with them along with two of each of their men while the rest of their men stay outside. Jack takes a seat across from celestia and Alexander sits next to jack. “so shall we begin your highnesses?” he said looking over at the princesses.
“Yes but where to start. Ah let's start with this, will you and your men be willing to defend and even fight for us?” Celestia asked.
“Our technology is way beyond yours. We will like to be allies where we won't have to share are technology with other nations. So we would like some territory to make are own nation.” jack said since he knows what happens when technology is introduced to a civilization with barely any “because we both now if we iturduce are technology to your and other country's it will destabilize the economy if not handled with care.” he add and waits to see it Alexander has anything to say.
“Well I agree with Jack you must understand we do not mean to distance ourselves from you. If you you want I will allow a supervisor of yours to stay with my men.” Alexander said.
Luna looked at her sister and said “Did they really just ask for land?”
“Sister stay calm. You both realize that if we give you land any and all supplies you need will need to come from us.” she sighed “Alexander as your men are already set up in the old castle we will give that and the area around it to you and as for you Jack we can give you a large area in the everfree forest and if you want we’ll send builders to help build more permanent buildings.” Celestia said as her sister stared at her.
“no need we dont need more resources you highnesses but my men have trucks full of supplies. In return we will help improve you military's training and equipment. Along with giving assistance when needed, and we and Alexander will share are territory you gave us.” Jack said smiling and extends his hand.
Celestia said “We will have to see what happens before I can agree on you improving my military. But here's to a fruitful alliance.” She grabbed Jack’s hand and shuck it.
He smiles and shakes her hand back. “as do I.” he said and one of there radios start getting a transmission. “This is forward AA emplacements in the everfree forest, we are under attack the changeling are attacking us.They have tanks, I repeat they have tanks!” the voice of an American shouted through the radio, in the background the none stop firing of auto-cannons and large flak guns firing at the enemy.
“Interesting. They would be stupid enough to attack us in our base. Yes that is a huge mistake.” Alexander said to himself before turning to Celestia and saying, “I am heading back to the old castle, you understand a commander must be with his men right?”
Celestia said, “Indeed I do. Luna would you accompany Mr Alexander back to the castle.” Luna rolled her eyes.
“Oh and please Celestia inform me of any strange ships spotted at sea because if any of our ships end up here we need to make contact. Jack what about you, what are you going to do?” Alexander said.
“I need to head to a port city. Before we started coming to here I came in contact with battleship iowa and a escort of Fletcher class destroyers. But I am declaring war on the changeling for this.” he said he looked angry, he and his men just got out of a war and now got attacked by a new threat. “Alexander my men are under your command till I return. And celestia would you like to join me.” jack added smiling at the beautiful sun princess.
“Very well comrade, see you soon.” Alexander said as he walked out with Luna in tow.
“I will indeed join you, as I will need to know if any of your warship attacked anyone.” Celestia responded to Jack's question.
“They won't fire unless fired upon, do to a old navy rule of not firing unless fired upon. And you will get to see the biggest battleships ever made by the United states.” he said said walks with celestia out of the room, and down a hallway.
“I am not worried about them attacking a city what I am worried about is them attacking someone out at sea.” Celestia said.
“As long as a ship doesn't pose a threat then the crew will just monitor them. I am pretty sure no one will try and challenge iowa and her escort fleet.” he said looking up at her.
Celestia “I know you’re right. Well we should get to the train.”
“yes and i think you are a very beautiful women.” he said smiling.
Celestia chuckled and said, “You know you're not the first to say that but for once I can return the compliment well I mean you're handsome.”
He also gives a chuckle “thank you celestia I can say I am the first to have the compliment returned by celestia.” he said smiling happily and blushes softly.
“For now though let's worry about you're ships.” Celestia said as they exited the castle.
“I agree celestia.” jack said agreeing with celestia. Even he had more important things to worry about right now. Like seeing to battleship iowa.
Both celestia and jack make it to the train station and boarded celestia's private train. Then they were on there way to Manehattan.
