Vasquez looked up and saw the Russian fall dead in from of him, Savior Company and Jackson came just in time.

"Clear! Secure this position!" Sherman said.

“Vasquez, you okay?” Jackson helped him up

“Yeah, for a minute there I thought I was a goner back there” Jackson notices something moved behind him and pointed his rifle to it, Vasquez stopped him and asked to lower his rifle.

“Jackson help those two up, The one here was a pegasus, armed with an M16A4 Assault Rifle and a 9mm Beretta pistol and the second over there is a mare as well.. And the other is more likely a dragon, he’s shot go check him out” Jackson went to help them while Vasquez enters the cave.

“Jackson! Wheres That yellow one?” Jackson carries the dragon and said that Fluttershy went home along with 2 cobra pilots.. Vasquez asked where is Fluttershy’s home located, Twilight spoke and tells them that she knows the way. She led them to her house walking into the forest heading out to her friends home.

"She knows the way, follow her." Sherman tells them to follow Twilight and noticed the US Marine lying there, his name was Paul Patton, private of Company Laser. Captain Sherman then helps Makarov carrying Paul Patton to FLuttershy's cottage...

Meanwhile... At the town of pony ville a strange huge metal object appeared in front of the town hall was blocking the doorway of the office.. Every pony tried to push the heavy thing but they weren't just strong enough... Every pony talked about it and gossiped it as an iron unicorn, because of the large horn in front of it. Then again... it doesn't look like a unicorn like the other does. Fluttershy who went to buy some food for her visitors heard the commotion and went back to her house to tell the others about the strange thing in the town..

“What the hell?! You mean countries and places in the U.S are much like in this place?!” Vasquez said after hearing places similar to those in America, Such as Manhattan which is called Manehatthan here. And Philadelphia is Filly-Delphia and so on..

"Sweet God Almighty, blooding and spilling! i never have been knowing its real life man! In real life!" Sherman made a strange remark.

"And that's just how Sherman kept watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Why should i never saw my superior watching that show?" Makarov said as he was confused by his superior who watches MLP-FIM. "He's also a brony, and i am too!"

"You sick bastard, Makarov." Vasquez said.

"Whatever." Makarov replied.

“Its much like ours, I know” Jackson isn't surprised because he actually doesn't care anymore and doesn't know whats surprising or not..

"Da, i cannot believe that this, this cities and towns are similar to America's known cities and towns on the East Coast!" Sergeant Petrenko made his much fast talking voice.

“What I want to know, is how the hell did those Ultra-Nationalist Rebels find their way through here?!” Vasquez nearly shouted his words as Jackson thinks for a possibility.

Just then Fluttershy along with Applejack and Big mac who she met up earlier on the way.

“Uhm, sirs? There’s a big metal thing in front of the uhm... mayor’s office” Applejack pushed her way through Fluttershy, who wants to know if what Fluttershy said is true..

“Whoah, Ah can’t believe my eyes.. Its true!” Applejack said gazing at all the people in Fluttershy’s house.

“Eeyup” was the only thing Big mac said in approval to Applejack’s disbelief

Sherman, who was seen drinking water, spits the water out, who was shocked about the huge metal thing in front of the mayor's office, then he was coughing because of the water in his throat and said "What?! Impossible!!"

“Wait a minute... What do you mean a big metal thing? what does it look like?” Jackson stood up expecting what he thought what it could be.

“Well.. uhm, there was a large tube in front of it and~” Jackson ran outside not even letting Fluttershy finish her description. 
The pilots, Laser and Savior Company, and Vasquez followed behind so did Applejack and Big mac while Fluttershy stood there alone, speechless..

When they arrived at the town they found Jackson standing there in front of the thing that Fluttershy said... They all know what it was as they looked at it. 

“Its... War Pig!” Vasquez said as he went closer to Jackson.. The ponies around town looked at them trying to make sense of what was going on.. "What the?! I thought War Pig and the rest of us were goners! Looks like we're ended up here." Sherman said.

“This cant be! How did this thing get here?” Jackson climbs up the hatch and checked inside.. A soldier sat there alone in the dark, Jackson thought he was dead. He went closer and checked his pulse.. He’s still alive but barely, He took him outside of the tank for air. "Jeez, what the hell is this tank doing here? But the smell, oh man." Sherman wears his MOPP Gas Mask in order not to smell it.

"Everypony calm down, they don't want to harm any of you guys unless hostile actions are made! I said calm down, everything is going to be alright!" The Admiral of the Equestrian Navy was heard.

“Hey! Any doctors here?! Please.. Help this person!” Twilight Steps forward who came after them earlier.

“Put him in my house” Jackson followed Twilight to a Tree house, Which happens to be a Library and her house..They went in to treat the soldier and to find out what just happened to War Pig.

30 seconds later, Sherman was sitting down after he got everything goes new. Shining Armor met up with the Commander of Savior Company.

"Hey, who are you?" Shining Armor asked Sherman.

"The name's Grant Dimitri Victor Sherman, acting commander of Savior Company - a United Earth Federation Marine Corps forces special ops command unit we've been sent here. Callsign's Savior Actual. Nice to meet ya."

"Name's Shining Armor, Twilight Sparkle's sister, Mi Amore Cadenza's husband, and Captain of the Guards." SHining Armor explained.

Sherman was about to stand up, but got hit by a firework.

"Shit! Hostiles! Sound the alarm!" Makarov yelled. All of them were alarmed. "HO HO HOLY SHIT!!!!!" Admiral Calliope yells in the comms.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie will take care of this monkeys and show Twilight what i do!" Trixie said, but intervened by Young Admiral, the Admiral of Equestria.

"You miss, have certainly has provoked a battle against us!" Young was angry at Trixie.

"It's alright, lads. I am okay. Jeez, i got almost hit by a firework." Commander Sherman was standing up and begins to tell his soldiers. "Lieutenant Vladimir Aleksander Makarov Junior and Alex Woods, we are to observe OUR men immediately."

"And also Trixie, we're not monkeys. We're humans. Name's Captain Grant Dimitri Victor Sherman, acting commander of Savior Company. Callsign's Savior Actual. Birthdate's October 14, 1991." Sherman said.

"I'm the Great and Powerful Tirixe and you humans are not welcomed here." Trixie said, only to be intervened by a Hind, which was part of the UEFSOCOM.

"We did not belong here, we have came here from our world." Ulyanov explained.

"Hmph, whatever. There's no way that you're here and why" Trixie was cut off by Yura. He shows her the meaning how they end up here. "I understand, human."

"Name's Yura Bodanov Petrenko; chief engineer and cprporal of Savior Company. Callsign's Alpha 1-1." Yura said.

"Name's Makarov, Vladimir Aleksander Makarov Junior; second in command to Captain Sherman. Vladimir R. Makarov's son. Birthdate January 18, 1985. Callsign's Savior 1-1."

"Dimitri Harkov Petrenko; map pointer and Sergeant of Savior Company. Birthdate's August 18, 1979. Callsign's November-Delta 2. My Ukrainian cousin Andrey Harkov Petrenko; fast ranter and talker and corporal of Savior Company. Birthdate's December 20, 1993. Callsign's Foxtrot-Alpha."

"Jonathan Paul Jake Johnson; Major-Sergeant and Commander-member of Savior Actual. Birthdate's January 1, 199e. Hotel-Golf 1. I am Sherman's objector."

"Dimitri Bodanov; best cook for Savior Company. Birthdate's August 1, 1993. Callsign's Alpha 2-2. My father's name was Ivan Bodanov; old timer of Savior Company. Birthdate's August 15, 1993. Callsign's Alpha 2-2 Senior."

Trixie and the team were chatting as all ponies were seen doing everything, while Yura and Vasquez were seen what happened to War Pig's engine.

Several Minutes later Jackson and Twilight sat across the room as Applejack looks after the Soldier and the 2 pilots, who were fast asleep in the basement, tired of talking to Big mac. Commander Sherman and the rest of Laser and Savior Company were doing some kind of guard stand-ins - Commander Sherman was seen looking at his men while Colonel Petty Officer Makarov and Major Sergeant Alex Woods were standing at their commander's sides. Some UEFSOCOM personnel in officer suit were seen using their swords, then raise it up high, ad swing it around. General Shepherd then looks at them while Dimitri Bodanov and his father were making pancakes.

The ponies outside were looking at the Companies noticed the commander along his officers looking at his soldiers while the others were having their quiet time. They have noticed what the rest are they doing - Lieutenants Yura and Vasquez were seen fixing War Pig's engine, Major Petrenko, Lieutenant Andrey, and Ulyanov were playing Spider Solitaires, Commander Six Johnson, "Passay" Jonathan and Stalker-3 were seen getting foods. Somehow Fluttershy helps the three by sending bits to them, in which they bought fruits and vegetables. Dimitri Bodanov and Ivan Bodanov were seen making pancakes. Sergeant Hudson and Lieutenant Michael and the rest were seen gathering metals and materials for their weapons. While they were getting materials for some modern weaponry, they were intervened by the royal guards, Shining Armor, and the rest.

"We're getting materials for modern weaponry. Sergeant Dimitri Petrenko here was good at making weaponry such as guns. He's also good at keeping weapon schematics in his pack. Major, show them." Michael tells Major Petrenko.

"Okay, here's the M4A1. One such gun for all the military. This is the XM285 Marine Assault Rifle or the XM285MAR and the XM8 Marine Assault Rifle or the XM8MAR, the best weaponry that was used by some soldiers. This is the M16A4, used by some marines. The XM8 was jammed 325 times, the XM285 jammed 450 times, XM8 jammed 300 times, the M16 was jammed 289 times, and the worst of all: the M4A1 was jammed 1895 times." Major Petrenko explained about the weapons schematics and said jammed weapons, leaving Sherman shocked.

"By God, Major Petrenko! Those M4A1s must have jammed 1895 times! My weapon wasn't jammed, and neither Makarov's. Some of my friends' weapons weren't jammed until my M240 was jammed!" Sherman said.

"That makes the M240 jammed 1 time." Yura said, making Sherman face palmed. "Alright, go back to said positions."

"Sherman, i didn't know you were the leader of Savior Company." Young Admiral, the Admiral of the Equestrian Navy, said. He also asked him why Sherman was sleeping, Makarov explained he needs sleep because he ordered Savior Company to patrol and stay in position.

Two minutes later, Callipe has arrived with a military band group, to play the Tozhe Ne Znayu (Do not know) song. They played the song at the Town Hall in front of it. All listened to the song.

"Sherman, what's that song?" Shining Armor asked him, in which he replied the song was called the Tozhe Ne Znayu, Russian for Do Not Know. They all listened the beautiful, graceful song. The band then returns to the USS Aleksander.

“So, where’s Spike?” Jackson asked her as she snaps out of her deep thought.

“Oh.. uh.. He’s okay he’s just sleeping that's all. Its just... I can’t bare to see him suffer like that!” Twilight started to cry a bit seeing his Number one assistant has just been shot.

“Don't worry... I’m sure he’s going to be fine” Jackson assures her about Spikes Condition.

“Are you sure?” Twilight sobs a little.

“I’m sure”

Vasquez steps inside after doing a little maintenance on the tank, leaving Yura to fix it.

“Well the engine was a bit fried but we got it working again, don't know why I bothered fixing it. But we did it anyway” Vasquez looks over at Jackson and Twilight, He gave Jackson a sign to come out, as he wanted to say to him. 
Jackson excused himself for a bit, as he steps outside.. Big mac went up the stairs as Twilight asked how’s the ‘man’ doing.

“He’s doing fine now, He’s just resting now” Big mac sits beside Twilight and asked her something. “By the way... What do you think is going on here?”

“I have no idea, my self Big mac.. Its unnatural for these kind of creatures to appear in Ponyville. There must be a reason they came here. But the only thing I want to know is why?”

“Maybe, to make trouble?” Big mac adds

“I hope not” Twilight is feeling a bit unsure of whats going to happen next in the future.. But then again no pony could tell for sure.

Meanwhile, outside of Twilight’s house Jackson and Vasquez sits on the tank and tries to make sense of this as well while the companies, now linked up with the Seventh BN., 5th Military Brigade and SOCOM Forces' elements Oxygen, Spider, and Elephant. Corporal Yura then contacts Carrier Command Aleksander that the 7BN5MBSOCF elements linked Savior-Laser Companies.

“I don't get it, man. First us, Now this freakin’ tank. Whats next?!” 

“I don't know whats going to happen next Jackson.. But I feel... Its going to get even worst”

Jackson suddenly feels a chill down his spine, sensing that there’s something going to happen to this place. And this tank is just a piece of it..

Just then Three young fillies walked up to them looking at them in amazement..

“Well hello there little ones. What can we do you for?” Vasquez asked at them while they looked at them in such awe.

“See! See! I told you its huge!” The filly with a red bow said while pointing at the tank

“Its much bigger than I thought!” An orange one with wings said while flying atop of the tank.

“Its much cooler than our carriages!” Said the white one with a horn.

Jackson laughs a bit, as he was a bit amused that a creature was impressed by a simple tank in their world.

“So, do you have a name?” Jackson said while looking at the three.

“Im scootaloo!” The young Pegasus said..

“Ahm Apple Bloom” Said the one with the bow
“And I'm Sweetie Belle!” Said the Unicorn

“That's a nice name you got there you three” Vasquez said also laughing a bit.

“Whats yours?” Sweetie Belle said asking their names as well..

“Oh My name is Richard Vasquez and this is Paul Jackson” The three Giggles and bid them farewell and ran off.. Both of them got a bit calmer now because of three optimistic fillies..

“Man~ they’re like out kids huh?” Jackson Watches the sky as the sun goes down, making the sky crimson red.

“Yeah.. They are” Vasquez agrees with him.. He went down the tank and walked away, leaving Jackson in his Melancholic daze.

Vasquez was about to go to the mayors office when a Bright light shines in front of him, Bringing out a large box from out of nowhere.

“WHAT THE FUCK!!” Vasquez shouts as the box suddenly flies passed him nearly hitting him dead on.

“SHIT!” Vasquez falls down as he watches the box hits a house leaving behind a gaping hole in it. The box landed inside of the house opening it in the process.. Jackson heard the commotion and went to Vasquez. The 7th Battalion's elemental leaders heard the commotion and also went to Vasquez.

“Vasquez! What the hell happened?” Jackson helps him up as he looks at the hole left behind by the box.

“Go check it out!” Jackson went inside the house finding a blue pony scared of the box that almost killed her. Jackson looks in the box and found 500 pounds worth of ammunition and 12 pieces of frag grenades.

"Heh, such a miracle." Captain Sherman said.

Vasquez followed behind and saw the cache of Ammunition inside the house.. Jackson looks at him with a worried expression in his face... Jackson knew, That this was not the last time this would happen again...
