Prologue
It was a misty morning at Texas's largest military bases. There were men everywhere training. From hand to hand, to Shooting. Drill sergeants were yelling at the new cadets as they ran laps around the base.
There was one marine, Wesker who was looking at his M-60E over before he went to the shooting range. Attaching a standard belt fed magazine to the gun, pulled the action lever and put a round into the chamber. Chris the marine in charge of the gun range saw that Wesker was ready hit a few buttons and targets were popping up and down.
"I like a good challenge, thanks Chris." I started to fire, BAM one tango, Two, four and so on.
I had been shooting for about thirty minutes and a few ammo belts later. All of a sudden the alarms started to go off, just as I was putting a new ammo belt into my gun.
"Hey Chris, what's going on?"
"Some kind of drill I think but bring your gun, the radio's offline. "
I picked up my weapon and grabbed a couple extra ammo belts and stuck them in my pack . I started out of the area behind him as dust started to fill the area.
"Shit, Chris any idea what is happening?"
"Sorry, Wesker but I got nothing," I pulled out my Desert Eagle and held it ready. "Be careful Wesker, I have no idea what we are going to get ourselves into . "
The two men slowly made their way into the facility, noticing that the base was empty, not normally busy and crawling with military personal. The two men continued to check the armory ... nothing, vehicle depot, nothing.
"Where is everybody," Wesker said. "Everybody can not just disappear into thin air...."
"I know Wesker, there are many protocols and there aren't any that describe the situation that we are in."
As we continued we started to hear a noise that sounded like it was on fire .We looked around to try and find the source but never did until Wesker looked up.
"Ummm Chris, I found where the burning is coming from." Pointing into the sky revealing a meteor that was headed straight for the two men. "GULP"
"AND IT'S HEADED STRAIGHT FOR US." I dove to the side and hid behind one of the tanks, as Wesker stood motionless, his eyes glued into the sky. "Wesker, GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE NOW!!!!!"
"Chris, I will be ok", just as the meteor impacted the ground 50 feet in front of me. The impact and the resulting of the ground shaking caused me to lose my balance and fall on the ground. "I'm ok Chris," as the dust started to settle a few minutes later.
While Chris was still taking cover behind a nearby tank, he was a little stirred up. "Wesker are you alright?"
By this time Wesker had gone down into the small crater and looked at the object , didn't look like a meteor but a golden egg the size of a football. There were no burn marks on the object. There were marking of what appeared to be ponies.
" If this is the generals idea of fun, I'm going to march straight to his office and put a bullet into his chest." I picked up the object and looked at the markings on it. "Hell, these look like ponies, but this one has wings and the other a horn..... Chris you have to come over here and check this out." I climbed out of crater carrying the golden object.
"Coming, man you should not pick up things that just drop from the sky,... it could be Russian.." I aughed."
"Can't be Chris, this is gold, and I bet the Russians have better things to do than just drop gold off at random military bases."
As the two men were talking, the golden object started to glow a bright white light, Chris went back to his hiding spot and hid as Wesker just stood there with his eyes shut.
As my friend hid in his hiding spot, I felt the object in my hands get lighter and something liquidly started to form around my right wrist. I dared not move, and I stood still for about ten minutes with my eyes closed, and after opening them and readjusting to everything. I realized I was in the middle of the yard, Chris was to looking at me, but this time the whole military personal was outside around me.... staring at me...
"Ummm," I was confused as to why they now suddenly appeared now. "Chris, what is happening, I'm a little freaked out right now."
The golden object had shot straight back into the sky leaving the planet....everyone looked up and then at me, I felt something metallic on my hand but my long sleeve shirt had covered whatever it was from everyone else. The dust finally settled down.
"Man, Wesker I have no idea and how we are going to explain this to everyone, least we have the security footage of what happened." As everyone went back to what they were doing like nothing had ever happened. I walked to Wesker, "Are they under some kind of amnesia or something?" We watched them as I helped Wesker out of the crater. His shirt sleeve revealed a golden band, "Hey Wesker what's that on your arm.
"What do you mean?" As I looked at my arm my eyes widened, "WHAT IN THE HELL....." Chris had put his hand over my mouth.
"Shhhhush, man lets not stir up something that we can't explain right now."
"Your right, we need to get this thing somehow off me though...." I tried to take the band off but it wouldn't open." Chris grabbed a can of WD-40 and sprayed it at the couplings and tried again...
"Shit bro it's on good." As Chris tried to mess with the device, it started to glow and one instantly appeared on his wrist too. "SHIT, now I have one too."
The two men struggled trying to get the bands off their arms but after two hours of no success they gave up. They tried everything but a chainsaw and a cutting torch. After a few swear words later the men just put their sleeves over the bands and went to the mess hall for lunch. The food was just the same old same old, nothing special. They just finished when a marine came up with a manila envelope and dropped it in front of Wesker and left.
".... Should I open it?" Asked Wesker.
"I guess so, even though, I didn't recognize that marine."
"Ok, well here we go," I started to open the envelope as a single piece of paper slid out.
......
......
.......
As I picked up the paper and looked at it. "Chris, its blank! I'm confused," folding the paper and putting it in my pocket and took our trash and threw it in the trash can.
"Wesker, I feel like we are in a Stephen King movie.... Anyways we need to get back to the training grounds, you still have that backpack full of ammo. I'm surprised no one has asked about it or the m-60E."
"Your right, Chris, I am carrying a gun that I'm not supposed to carry around the base and no one is saying a thing......." Looks at the gun resting in his lap, "But I have a feeling that I should not get put it away."
After 12 they were back at the gun range but they were playing with their bands after they had found there were a couple knobs and buttons on it.
"I think these things are broken, Chris."
"Yea Wesker, I agree," I handed Wesker a duffle bag full of ammunition for the M-60, "Don't ask but I have a feeling that we are going to need it." I grabbed a duffle bag full of ammo for my assault rifle and as we opened the door that led out of the shooting range, everyone in the base was on the other side of the door.
"Gulp, Close the door Chris," and as he closed the door and locked it Wesker was running down the shooting range with full gear.
"Wait for me Wesker," I was only a few feet behind him as the door busted through the door.
"STOP THEM," cried the men as they flooded into the training area. "WE must not let them activate the devises."
Wesker pushed a button on the top and a bluish liquid appeared around me and Chris. "What in the hell," just before he could finish his sentence, he was instantly in a forest.
"What in the hell and how did we get here? Chris where are you?"
"I'm over here in the tree."
"Get out of there, man what, ... how did we get here Chris?"
Wesker and Chris had their weapons drawn and scanning the area.
"Do you think they know where we are?" As Wesker pulled out his Cell and looked at it.
"No reception, I believe that they won't find us and besides look at the moon, its way closer now...."
"Wesker, I don't think we are home anymore...." His stomach growls ,"I'm hungry too now."
..."Yea same here, did we pack any food besides the ammo?"
"No, sorry , but I bet we could hunt some game here in the forest or find a river and get fish."
"We will do it tomorrow, its getting dark and we have no night vision so its pointless."
They gathered some firewood and broke a M-60 Round and took the bullet apart for the gunpowder and with two rocks tried to create a spark and after five long minutes we had a small fire after the gun powder exploded and had to keep adding small dead limbs until the larger ones caught on fire.
"Wesker, I have a bad feeling about tomorrow, they are going to find us and court marshal us."
"First, Chris they are going to have to find us and right now, I'm missing my favorite tv show SG1. I know its just reruns but I liked the show. Besides look those golden bands are now gone." They looked at their wrists and Chris was happy about the band gone.
They went to sleep around the fire after they built it up. A bird chirped in the trees every once in a while the howl of a coyote could be heard through the night as the men laid against trees holding their guns and their duffle bags next to them . It was a long night, but as the sun rose through the trees it felt almost normal.
I opened my eyes and noticed that my M-60 was laying on the ground, I grabbed it and my duffle bag and got up, I saw that Chris was out still and I put what was left of the fire out with some dirt and by this time Chris was finally stirring up and looking around asking what's happening.
"It's nothing, bro its just morning and we need to get going, and try to find out where we are located."
"Ok, just give me a few minutes to get ready and then we shall go. " I needed to stretch since sleeping ] against a tree wasn't very comfortable. "So any ideas to our location yet?"
"No, we are just going to head along this worn path over there and see where it leads us. I don't know about you but there was something wrong with all of those men, they didn't act like our friends that we knew and served with."
The two men traveled the old dirt path, as they went they noticed no foot prints but what appeared to be hoof prints of a horse. Chris put his hand in the print.
"It's just a day old give or take. Also they are headed in the same direction as we are."
"Ok lets just continue down this path and if we happen to stumble close to anyone or thing we will just hide in the bushes till we can figure them friend or foe. "
Chris agreed as they walked. For about four hours the men walked still had eaten nothing since the other day and were wishing they'd come across something edible to eat. But as fat would have it they found nothing. The sun was overhead birds flew out of the trees. Out of nowhere came six voices and they were all female, Wesker motioned to Chris to move into the cover of the brush.

"Twilight, dear why do we all have to go to the Ever free forest again?" Rarity said with confusion.
"Because we all need to gather books from the old Castle of the Twin Sisters remember, we have to move out each room as the castle is being renovated and one day be restored to its former glory." Twilight said happily, "Plus I get to read the ancient tombs."
Fluttershy and Pinky pie looked at each other as they followed the ponies. All of a sudden Pinky started having her Pinky sense moments and smiled.
"We are about to meet new friends today, well really soon. " She started to jump up and down, while everyone looked at her.
"Well , I believe Pinky is right, something feels off right now," Said Applejack, she was only two feet away from Wesker who was hiding on the opposite side of the brush.
Wesker looked through an opening in the brush at Chris who was looking back, just as an eye appeared to be looking at him through the brush.
"There is somepony in the brush, Twilight." Applejack said.
"Over here too," said Rarity.
Fluttershy eeeped and flew in the sky, hiding while everypony else held their ground.
"Show yourselves," Twilight demanded. Wesker stood up holding his gun at them and a second later Chris did the same. "Wh.. what are you?"
"We want to know the same. Also where are we, last thing I know was being chased from the base." Wesker said, while their guns were ready, they didn't shoot just took in everything that they were seeing.
"Well you are in Equestria for one," the men looked at each other.
"Equestria, never heard of it?" Chris replied. Twilight gasped.
"Never heard of it, ... where are you things from?"
"We are from the United states , we are soldiers ... warriors, our job is to protect our people from enemies." Wesker said.
"They don't look that tough," Rainbowdash said.
"This is not helping anypony girls please go back to my house and send a letter to Celestia to come and discuss a possible problem. AND NO BUTTSS, just go."
As her friends left , she heard the humans stomach growling and looked at them.
"When was the last time you guys had food?" Twilight asked.
"Almost 36 hours," replied Chris. I looked at Wesker and he shrugged it off. "Umm Twilight right? could you give me and Wesker a moment please?"
"Sure please hurry, its not safe in the woods at night." I left them alone and walked down the path for a few yards.
"Wesker, you sure we can trust her? She's a pony?? I don't think we are on Earth anymore.!!" I started to panic as Wesker slapped me across the face. "Thanks I needed that."
"No problem, bro. Well I think we are going to meet their leader and we are just going to have to play it ear by ear. I know they are going to try and take our guns but hide your sidearm behind your shirt, can't leave ourselves defenseless now can we?"
"Your right."
They walked back to Twilight and thanked her for waiting and they followed her through the woods back to her house. Since it was nightfall already, I guess all the other ponies were already in for the night. As we followed her to her house which was a tree... but the house was built inside the tree, literally.

Rainbow dash and her friends reached Twilights house, busted in.
"SPIKE," yelled Applejack. "Where in darn tutin are you?"
"....SLEEPING... what do you need," he was sleepy as he walked down the stairs. "Where's Twilight?"
"That is why we are here, she told us to get you to send a letter to Princess Celestia. " Pinky pie said jumping up and down.
Applejack told Spike to write and after he had gotten the letter finished he went to the window and blew his magic flames and the letter vanished.
"So Spike how long does it normally take for Princess Celestia take to respond to the letters?" Rainbow Dash asked eagerly.
"Depends, remember when Twilight had her tardy accident awhile back?" Spike looked at them.
"Yea, what about it?"
"Well I sent the letter and within the hour she arrived and solved the problem."
"OH ok," Rainbow Dash said.
"But with the information you gals gave me I would expect her to be here soon, real soon."
KNOCK
KNOCK
KNOCK
Rainbows jaw dropped, "Dam shes fast."
Spike got the door and Celestia and Luna entered the home along with eight royal guards. The guards took positions in the living room while The princesses sat on the chairs.
"Good evening Spike, Rarity, AJ, Pinkypie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash," Celestia said. "So who can explain in better detail why we are here and who is with Twilight right now?" Luna sat and observed the situation between her sister and the group.
