The ponies followed the Panzers to their FOB, in which Celestia is now imagining a very beautiful building. However, when they arrived at the Afrika Korps main base, she quickly shook of that idea.
'I can't imagine their FOB is a simple tent.' Celestia thought as the ponies could see the men doing various jobs. They are now maintaining their Panzers, quickly checking something, and other things. They easily surpassed the Royal Guards in various ways, a little too much.
Shining Armor, on the other hoof, quickly disgusted them because they didn't have armor, but wearings for them. He also hated them just by simply outclassing and outperforming his Royal Guards. However, Luna has the idea of having her Night Guards having the same ones like the Afrika Korps.
'I wonder what is they training like.' Luna thought as they quickly got into the FOB.
"Okay, for the briefing of the transporting us back to our home, we need to discuss this like a major operation." Rommel said.
"What kind of operation?" Shining asked.
"This kind of operation, known as Home Front, will be a massive operation that will have massive preparations and timing, and will teleport back to our front lines in North Africa."
"So your saying that you were teleported here by what exactly?" Celestia asked.
"We were just planning on the defensive when a massive sandstorm hit us. Unfortunately, it teleported us here." Rommel said.
"If your saying that we will need to teleport you all back where you came from and had no memories here, am I right?" Luna asked.
"Yes that is correct. However, before we need to continue, we need to discuss how do you perform large-scale teleportation." Rommel replied.
"How big is it?" Twilight asked.
"Well, if I remember, we got 28 Panzers and 158 men including me. Also, we need to teleport the FOB." Rommel replied again. Twilight just stumbled upon the numbers. If there was 159 of them plus their 28 'Panzers', then that means it's 187 total.
"That is a big operation. However, where should you have the teleportation?" Celestia replied. The men, now looking at them, got the ponies nervous, but they have their own work, so they didn't even mind.
"Here actually. This is where the sandstorm transported us here and we will be transported here back to our designated location, September 1943, Tunisia, North Africa." The Field Marshal replied again. The ponies gasped. Not only these creatures have a calendar, but have well-manners to become a disciplined fighting force, much like the Griffons.
"Okay, now for the procedure of the transportation. Does anyone of you knew the procedure?" The ponies looked at each other, trying to guest which one has the most knowledge.
"I'm sorry Rommel, but it seems I'm the only who knew large-scale ones back when I'm in the moon." Luna replied. Celestia looked at her younger sister and said:
"Your are not serious Lulu."
"I am DEAD serious Tia. These 'humans' have been fighting for reason, and the consequences for not being part will be court martial or, if displacing cowardice, death by firing squad. So please, don't step in here sister." Luna said to her older sister with a serious glare. The men were impressed, that this particular pony will be a great leader someday to a military.
"Impressive princess. That's how a commander of a unit should do, be dead serious and don't go like a fish out of the water." Rommel said.
"Why thank you Rommel. I must say though, being a commander of a military could be stressful, not to mention being surrounded my a bunch of not-trained units." Luna replied.
"HAHA! I know what it feels right?" The Lt. said.
"Now, back to the discussion. Luna, since your the only one who knew about large-scale transportation, could you give us the steps?" Rommel asked.
"Well, the steps is not that hard. The spell only requires a specific location to have it work, but needs a very large teleportation circle, and it will almost drain my magic." Luna replied.
"It's a risk, although it could kill you, we will have to take." Rommel added.
"But Lulu, I couldn't stand having you lost again, this time for good!" Celestia cried.
"Tia, please don't weep for me. Although I'm gone for good, you could still find me in my realm, the night eternal and the moon." Luna replied. For Celestia's mind, losing Luna again would cause her to grief too much, but on the other hand, Luna will be there forever with her, even thought it's just the blanket of night.
"Okay sister. I will trust you with this 'operation' for these creatures-"
"Humans."
"-Humans to go back to their place." Celestia said.
"Thank you Tia." With the agreement now on track, the Afrika Korps and the ponies get to work in various ways.
For the ponies part, their knowledge of the large-scale teleportation spell was largely from Princess Luna herself. But the spell, which requires days of training, and by the fact that the ponies are getting anxious, worried and nervous about 'Operation: Home Front', and also working with these strange biped creatures, as Luna called them 'humans'.
For the Afrika Korps, their progress was much better than the ponies. Because they are more disciplined and knew more about military operations, and by the fact that they are led by the cunning Erwin Rommel, the Germans have a large progress ratio, which was estimated to be 10:2, and knew where to have their Panzers and equipments to be.
After days of preparation and planning, 'Operation: Home Front' was finally set. Before the operation could begin, the humans and ponies celebrated what they accomplish, a party set-up by Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter.
"So your saying that your division before in France was called 'Ghost' Division because?" Twilight asked the Field Marshal.
"It was called like that because we are having a fast paced attack, and we are almost lost-in-track by our High Command." He replied.
After partying for two hours, it's time for the operation to begin. The men got to their Panzers, while the Field Marshal and some other guys moved into the FOB. With a green signal, Princess Luna and the other ponies begin the spell. It was intensive, and could exhaust anyponies magic. After a few minutes(well maybe 45 minutes) the Afrika Korps were gone, back to their home world. The ponies relaxed first before they could go home, but for Luna, she stared the sky, muttering in her mind:
'We will meet again, Rommel.'
