//------------------------------// // Enter // Story: Dogfight Over Equestria // by Blastshot //------------------------------// One early summer morning, the sky was on fire. A blunt way to start a story, but who cares. Now, what I mean by the sky was on fire, is that it was world war two, and there were planes dueling to the death. 5 P-51 mustangs, against 25 German BF-109’s. Sounds absurd, but once, in real life, 16 P-51’s won against 45-50 BF-109’s. Now that we got the ‘BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!’ commenters out of the way, we can end this stupid mini-prologue, and start the story. “Hey, can someone get this guy OFF OF ME?!” Drake shouted through the com to all of his squad. “Don’t worry, deacon, I’ll get em” Rick said, in a discomfortingly calm voice. He broke off of the fighter he was chasing, and lined up his auto aimer with the pursuing BF-109. He fired a few burst of bullets, making sure not to hit Drake. The 109’s wing cracked of, and was sent spinning to the ground. After taking out all of the enemy aircraft, the ace squadron of 5, made up of Rick, Drake, Patterson (we just call him Patt), Henzregsheig (his name is too hard to pronounce, so we just call him Henz), and Jane, flew back to base. at least, that's where they thought they were going. “Hey, is anyone else’s fuel gauge goin’ crazy, or is it just me?” said Patt. “Well, your planes not smokin’, so what could it be?” questioned Henz. “Aw, god, that lights blinding my eyes!” Rick shouted. “Hey, anyone else fell their plane going faster?” yelled Jane. “Ohhh, yeah, im feelin’ it!” said Drake. “Well, maybe its just a strong wind current. Try turning around, then see how fast you’re going.” Patt suggested. The whole squad turned their planes around. “Is it just me, or are we flying backwards?” Jane yelled through the com. There was a huge flash, and they were forwards again. One early summer morning, Canterlot was under raid bye changlings. But this time, they found it easier to take the love from ponies, when the ponies themselves were, ahem, dead. They killed at least 28 guards, leaving 62 injured, before Celestia forced them out. Discord was down in ponyville, and decided to do something good for once. He summoned help. He didn't know what form this help would come in, but he was displeased when all he found once the portal opened, was birds flying in the sky. “Huh, I suppose it was worth a try” he said, and went to have tea with Fluttershy. “Uhhhhh, were the heck are we?” Drake said, in confusion. “I dunno, but I see some jerries down below! lets get em’!” Henz reacted in excitement, and jerked his plane out of formation. “Hey, wait for me!” Jane said in excitement. The rest of the squadron then followed. “ugh, time for cloud busting duty” Rainbowdash moaned. She hated the job just as much as she loved sleeping, though she was good at it. She climbed out of the blankets, rubbed her eyes, ate some breakfast, and got to work. She was sleepy, so she didn't fell like doing it in ten seconds flat. She was moving on to the skies over a small meadow, when she saw some birds flying around in circles, chasing each other. As she metered closer, (ha, see what I did there) she saw fiery balls streaking out of the wings, which weren’t even flapping. She also saw that if the light balls hit the bird enough times, then the bird’s wing would crack in half or it would burst into flames, and plummet to the ground. As she moved even closer, she could see small, peachish colored, sometimes brown, hairless apes. As their machines spinned, twirled, turned, and dove, the hairless apes fiddled with small sticks and pedals. It made loud sounds as bursts of small yellow fireballs whizzed out of the wings. As she flew away as quick as possible, she swore she could have heard one of the apes talking. She quickly flew back to Ponyville, and crashed into Twilights house. “RAINBOWDASH!! I HAVE A DOOR!” Twilight yelled as the window shattered. “oh yeah, BUT THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW! THERE ARE TALKING HAIRLESS APES IN METAL BIRDS SHOOTING FIERY YELLOW BALLS AT EACH OTHER!” Rainbow screamed. “Rainbow, I’m sorry to say, but, you’re drunk.” said Twilight. “No, seriously! I actually saw that with my own eyes! one even looked at me, and said ‘what the heck is that?!! follow me, and you’ll see!” Rainbow proteseted. “Alright, but I still don't believe you” said Twilight as Rainbow flew towards the meadow. She quickly teleported, as to the fact that it wasn't that far away. Twilights eyes went wide as she saw the flames and carnage in the sky.
