The year was 2017, and to everyone on Earth’s surprise, a new continent had been plopped down into the center of the Atlantic with no warning, destroying some fishing boats, a yellow barrier was around the entire landmass, it was about half the size of the United States Of America, the barrier was a large yellow dome, any attempts to fly drones to observe the landmass disintegrated upon touching the barrier, about a week after this new landmass had appeared in the Atlantic, its leaders made themselves known, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna, they had stated their home world was about to be destroyed, due to the planets sun going critical mass, and as a result every being able to use magic, yes you heard me right, MAGIC, was summoned to their capital of Canterlot to do a mass teleportation spell that would relay them to the nearest habitable planet for their species, another week afterwards they proposed the idea of converting humans into ponies so they could live in Equestria, the name of the landmass, once set up they were called conversion bureaus, you would enter, and be given a vial of glowing yellow liquid, once the liquid was consumed like any normal drink, it would transform the person who drank it into a random type of pony, however, it was quickly discovered that the potion had very nasty side effects, for one, the person who was turned, seemingly hated everything about their old life, and would prise Princess Celestia for ‘showing them true harmony’ it was quickly learned that the potion was just a form of mind control, and so the nations of the world held a conference and asked for those who had been converted, to be turned back, with the threat that if it was not done so within a month, there would be war.

Of course Princess Celestia could not just let the humans wage war on her little ponies, so she sent out ponies with potion bombs to force humanity to convert, when that did not work, she started to expand the barrier, humanity launched all it could at the barrier, tanks,jets, missiles,bullets, artillery shells, even tactical nuclear warheads, only small ones, with little yield, while humanity on Earth was fighting for its very life, they were not stupid enough to launch the large scale heavy yield nuclear bombs, however unknown to most, forces where watching this all unfold, waiting for the perfect time to strike.

As the barrier expanded over the course of the next year, every human made object had been destroyed, and humans turned into piles of melted flesh and bone, or converted by force, it was when the last bit of green on Earth turned a shade of yellow from the barrier, did the forces who had watched, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, fall into action, from the dark side of the moon large ships that looked like zeppelins began to launch off, carrying large chunks of the moon with them, each chunk about fifty by fifty feet long and wide, dragged behind the massive ships with long and thick wires, while on the surface of the moon, a swastika shaped building  could be seen, and halfway across the moon from that, a large circle of metal with a swastika on it.

And the leader behind this entire operation, Führer  Klaus Adler, was boarding the Götterdämmerung, the largest war machine to ever have been built, a saucer that takes up a quarter of the moon, and activated it, its massive helium-3 engines began to power up, and soon it broke free of the moon's surface, joining the fleet to attack Earth, Adler clicked a button for a microphone. “Begin the meteorblitzkrieg!” With that command, the ships began to launch their payloads at the planet, each one struck the barrier with the force of a twenty megaton bomb, Princess Celestia fell to the floor of her throne room in pain as Luna rushed in to help her stabilize the barrier, after twenty hits, the barrier was damaged heavily, yet still stood strong and unyielding. 

Klaus Adler turned to one of the men manning the weapons of the Götterdämmerung. “Fire the cannon!” 

The commander saluted.  “Yes my Führer!” With a few levers being pulled and a screen targeted the Earth, the cannon fired a shell that was two hundred miles long, and one hundred miles wide at the base of the shell, it impacted the barrier at such speed and with so much force, that it broke through the barrier, and beyond, impacting Canterlot with the force of an angry god smiting his foes with a fist of rage, Canterlot, the mountain it was on, along with half of Equestria itself was vaporized due to that one shell, and that was the signal for the ships to open up and launch wave after wave of saucer shaped fighters, the Equestrian air force, or what was left it it anyway, was no match for the saucers, they would have been no match for a normal jet either, Equestrian fighters tried to fight the saucers but pones with rather weak crossbows, swords, and shields, did jack fuck against weapons like missiles and 20 millimeter cannons, most where mowed down, while Equestrian airships where shot down one after another, their cannons doing little to nothing against the saucers, while some did get taken down from cannon fire, most where missed and due to the slow loading of muzzle loading cannons, no Equestrian airship got more than two kills before they where taken down and left to rust on the ground while the wreckage still burned.

With the Equestrian air force destroyed, soon enough storm troopers were sent in, any survivors not killed by the waves of fighters and the shelling, was shot on the spot, or used for labor to rebuild human society, or worked to death in camps, within about five years, cities once again glowed against the dark night sky, however, no history of any nation aside from Germany was saved, the Nazis had gotten what they had wanted since World War Two, complete control of the world, they saluted their Führer, haling the fourth reich.
