In the streets of Russia, the fire exchange between a special seal squad and the Soviet army has broken out. 1 minute before, they were going to assassinate a Russian general, and now they needed to escape. The forces were Victor, Vladimir, Dylan, Michael, and Jimmy. Dylan had been shot in the chest, and now he was suffering on the wall of an old truck. He vomited blood, then fell over dead. Then a soviet threw a grenade. It blew up, then sucked the American squad trough a portal. Jimmy awoke and found himself, Michael, Vladimir, and Victor all in what looked like a castle throne. He was tied up. Then he heard Michael. "Jim! Hey Jimmy! Dude, did you see a unicorn?"

Jim replied, "No. There's no such thing. But where are we?" 

Then the doors opened. A big white alicorn entered the throne. She had a sun on her leg, and asked, "Are the four of you awake?" All Michael could do was yell in terror. "I would like to speak with your leader." The team commander was Jimmy, but he kept his mouth shut. For all he knew, he might be executed. But Michael gave it away for his life. The others were disappointed in Mike. They had been taken away. Jimmy was untied, but guarded heavily.

"Just help me out of this situation, and give my men back. I've already seen one of them die hard. Give me those three, and we'll leave." 

The princess said, "Before we discuss exchanges, I think we should introduce each other. I am princess Celestia. And you are?" 

Jimmy was pink now, because he wanted to kill the angel, but if he did, he would be killed himself. So, he replied, "Seargent Jimmy Sanchez. Please tell me what's goin' on." She then asked if he was a threat, and he said, "I WILL BE A THREAT IF YOU DON'T GIVE MY MEN BACK! Now tell me what was in that grenade, PLEASE!" 

She said, "You came through a random portal, so I had you tied up." After discussing what happened, who they were, and their demands, they agreed that Jimmy would get his men, keep his survival knife, but give up the team's guns. The military trained them with survival skills for this exact situation. Now he and his squad were living into the ever free forest. They made a bow, gathered animal pelts, set up a camp, and kept a food source.

The next morning, they heard what sounded like a town. "Alright, some help! Just what we needed," said Jimmy. "Stay here. I'll check it out." He went down a hill toward the town. Jimmy was very fast, smart, and hard to be killed, so he jumped up some crates, then on a roof. All he could see were unicorns, pegasi, and colored horses. "How is this true?" He jumped down, and stared at a group of six ponies who were having a picnic. He walked up to ask for help, but they stared at him overwhelmed. Now Jimmy was getting pink. He was getting mad about what's happening to him and the squad. 

Then a yellow pegasus  asked, "What creature are you?"

But he said, "I just need a place to stay. If you say no, I can just live in that forest." 

Then the white unicorn asked, "You're from the ever free forest?" 

Jimmy simply replied, "No. But I will live out there if I can't live here." 

Then the six warned him, "YOU CAN'T!"

He replied, "Well, sure I can. i'm living there now. What's wrong with it?" The ponies told him the dangers of the forest, and the creatures of it. He said, "Look, i'll join your picnic, but after you're all packed up, follow me into that forest. Trust me. If that stuff was out there, it would've killed me last night." After accompanying him to his camp, he said, "See? Nothing got us. That's where we live." Eventually, a chicken headed, dragon winged lizard came up. The group of ten screamed. Michael jumped it and cut it up with their knife. They got rid of the corpse and showed the ponies a good time. 

The men were there for two months now. Michael had been the boyfriend of Twilight, and Jimmy was the boyfriend of Fluttershy. Vladimir and Victor were in to dark magic. After a while, at a picnic, Jimmy just said, "If only Dylan was here." The entire group stared at him. The three squad members sighed. Michael cried in disappointment. Then Jimmy was depressed. The ponies were confused. 

"World War Three is probably over," said Vladimir. "I hope America won." 

"What are y'all talkin' about?" Applejack asked. 

"This seems sad," said Pinkie. 

After helping Michael calm down, Vic, Vlad, and Jim told the ponies about WW III and Dylan's moment. They told them what happened right before they showed up in Equestria. The ponies had a sad look to them. Spike looked disappointed himself. Later in the year, Ponyville was invaded by vampires. The men had an axe, a knife, a mace, and a sword. The vampires had grey skin, and looked like humans. The strange thing is, they had the same organs. Now it was up to the humans. They had to defend the elements of harmony. The vampires fought like mercenaries. So did the humans. They fought with all their might. The only thing that saved them was the dark magic strength spell that Vlad and Vic learned. Michael had the mace. He hit a vampire in the chest, and pushed it in. He pulled on it, and when it came loose, it swung and hit a vampire in the face. The face just got torn up. Vladimir cut a vampire's neck with a knife. Jimmy killed a vampire with a sword. Then Victor chopped a vampire in the back with an axe, and the vampire just folded backwards. Finally, Princess Celestia, Luna, And Cadance helped. The last vampire stabbed Mike up the jaw. Then he killed it. He just laid down, and spat a red shower. Then he was gone. Twilight couldn't help but scream. This was a black day for Equestria.

A week later, at Mike's funeral, Jim put a bullet in the coffin. Vladimir put a coin. Victor put one of his gloves in the coffin. Now outside, at the cemetery, there was the hole, the coffin, and the town. "Citizens of Ponyville," the preacher pony started, "we are here tonight for a human named Michael who fought for Equestria. Jimmy Sanchez, please stand." 

Jimmy stood up in a black t-shirt that he and Rarity customized. It said, "Mike-4-Ever." 

"You are the leader of these humans. Do you have anything to say?" 

He replied, "Well, Mike and us, we've seen our friends die with pain." Every pony cried one by one. Especially Spike. "And I... I... I can't... I can't.... watch-watch him d-die like t-this! I- i'm real-really sorry about this." Jim was crying now. He was gritting his teeth, growling, and sniffing nonstop. A week later, he and the Russians became an element of harmony. The element of Bravery.
