Panzer Visitation

"TIA! WAKE UP!" Luna shouted as she entered the chamber of her sister, Celestia. She could see Celestia waking up, probably a nap of some sort.

"-Yawn- Hello Lulu. What's up?" Celestia asked her sister.

"The Turtles! They're coming towards Canterlot!" Luna replied to her sister. Realizing what she meant, she quickly jolt out of bed and said:

"Let us make haste. I doubt these turtles would be friendly." Celestia said to her sister.

"I agree." Luna replied as she and her sister flew out to confront the 'turtles' once more.

-Rommel's Perspective-

The Panzer Visitation Force, compromising 8 Panzers, led by Rommel himself, is moving towards the direction of the north. The force compromised of 4 Pz. IV's and 4 Pz. III's. These combination of the 37 mm and 75 mm will prove deadly if you provoke them.

"Sir, I could see something up ahead." The commander of Panzer 111 informed.

"Could you identify those targets up ahead?" Rommel both asked and commanded at the same time.

"Sure thing Rommel." The commander said. After a few moments of silence, the commander piped on the radio.

"Sir, I could see ten armored....horses in front of us. They are fully armed sir. Should we open fire?" Rommel pondered his thoughts for his decision. But before he could finally made his decision, another commander said:

"Sir, two larger horses coming in-bound to land. We have now 12 targets. Should we open fire?"

"No not yet. We must be cautious though, if they attack us. If they do, permission to engage." Rommel replied.

"Heer Field Marshal." The commanders said as they still roll in a thundering pace.

-Princesses View-

"Are you sure this is a good idea Lulu?" Celestia asked her young sister.

"Don't worry Celestia. I do hope these turtles stopped once again and fall back like the last time." Luna replied to her older sister. They landed wherein the ten guards are at their defensive stance.

"Princess! Those turtles are coming towards Canterlot! We must-" One of the guards ponies was cut off by Celestia's hoof at his mouth.

"Don't worry my little pony. I hope that these turtles stop with our presence." Celestia calmly said. The guard pony release a sigh of relief and got back to his post. However, the turtles didn't back down, turn tail and ran back, or just stop. They are just keeping their momentum of speed.

'What the.....I hope they stop within our presence! What's their momentum to charge at us?' Luna thought in her mind confused. 'Something doesn't feel right.' The 'turtles', still keeping their speed, is now charging at...them!

'Uh oh.' Luna now realized that these 'turtles' aren't ordinary turtles. Not only these turtles didn't seem to care, but they are also fast. Suddenly, a spear was being thrown out, like it was a desperate gamble to stop them. However, the spear just bounced off of the front of the 'turtles'. However, it seems that the 'turtles' suddenly stopped in their tracks.

'Well, that did the trick.' Luna thought in joy, but that joy won't last forever. The 'shells' of the 'turtles' began moving, pointing their 'sticks' at....them! However, her decision was slow when suddenly....

*BOOM!*

A large bang was heard, and soon, one of the guards was hit and was dead in an instant. They turned around and saw the lead 'turtle' has smoke in it's 'stick', so it made the bang. However, it was just the beginning of their worries. Moments later, another 'turtle' just moved forward and turned it's 'stick' towards another guard.

'Uh oh.' Celestia worried in her head as the large bang was heard again, this time seeing first hand the 'fire and smoke' effect. The fire didn't reach the guard however, but something hit the guard and rip him to pieces.

'This is bad.' Celestia said in her thoughts, as she realized the whole 'turtle' army moves forward and creating bangs, 'fire and smoke', and hitting her royal subjects without the fire reaching them. Then, a dreadful fate had come. One of the 'turtles' spotted Luna, making her a prime target.

'NNNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' Celestia screamed in her head as the 'turtle' breath up it's fire. Luna was caught off-guard, but something impacted the ground, blasting her instead towards the sky. Celestia tried to save her sister, but a royal guard insists to retreat. It was a difficult decision for Celestia: Save her sister, or defend her subjects. Her heavy heart gave the decision to rescue her subjects, and she soon utter the word 'Retreat'.

-Panzer Visitation Force-

"Rommel, we got the enemy running back. Should we pursue them?" The commander of Panzer 113 asked.

"No. We must not. I fear they will bolster their ranks in infinitive numbers. However-" The German Field Marshal was cut off by his Panzer's driver.

"Sorry to interrupt you Field Marshal, but there's something in the ground."

"What could you see driver?"

"Supposedly an indigo colored horse." Really? The Field Marshal poked his head out of the commander's cupola and saw the horse, lying in the ground. He soon get out of the Panzer, with his crew and men trying to asses what will happen. Rommel approached the horse, and tries to establish if it's still breathing. He checks it's chest, and it's still moving in a steady breathing. However, he knew it was unconciouss.

"Sir, what will we do?" Rommel turned his head and saw the commander of Panzer 113.

"Take this horse back to the FOB. We will have a word, if anyone of you could speak horse language." Rommel replied as his men tried to lift the horse towards the back of one of the Panzers.
