Bombs Away!
Satellites first picked up energy displacement in the Southern Pacific ocean, a few hours later a continent; smaller than Australia appeared. It was only few years since the Cold War ended and everyone was on high-alert as soon as it appeared.
The next day, the US Naval Base in San Diego picked up radar contacts approaching from the south, causing the Naval vessels there to fill the harbor and ocean around it. Aircraft also filled the sky, soon heading towards the radar contacts.
The aircraft; while keeping their distance observed the unknowns and relayed their findings. To put it basically, myths were flying towards the city. White Pegasuses flew through the air while wearing golden armor which was a pain to look at when it glinted in the sun. They carried spears, swords, and other medieval weaponry, much to the entertainment of the pilots when they got discovered easily outmaneuvered them with ease, besides one that had a rainbow trailing behind it.
They also seemed to be escorting a carriage made out of solid gold, how they were able to keep that in the air was far beyond them. A pilot was even able to get a photo of them up close; the with shocked expressions of the creatures were priceless.
Soon after the small airshow the creatures were able to get close to the city, only to almost get hit by a flack shell. They seemed to get the message and back off… for a while. The fighters were able to guide the carriage to the Naval base, as soon as they landed they were swamped by military personnel armed with the good old M16.
The white horse was able to calm things down, asking to meet our leaders and saying they come in peace; this only made the soldiers want to blow their brains out because of the movies they watched about aliens saying the exact same thing and trying to destroy humanity soon afterwards.
A few weeks later ‘Princess Celestia’ as the ‘Ponies’ called her was able to get a meeting with Ronald Reagan, hoping to set up trade and other political bullshit I don’t care for. Another Princess called Twilight Sparkle wanted to read up on human history and was able to get some books.
Things went smoothly for the first few months, then the Celestial Bitch as I like to call her wanted to make an announcement to the human world. All around the world humans gathered around their TVs to listen to it. All they got was the Princesses bitching about how humanity was impure and needed to be converted into peace loving ponies using a potion.
Much to their disappointment and shock humanity turned them down, this only angered them and forced a purple shield to cover the island. Yeah that’s right, they didn’t even acknowledge it as a continent, instead calling it an ‘Overgrown Island’.
Afraid war was coming, the United States began stockpiling on weapons. Up in Alaska, Elmendorf Air Force Base was receiving B-52 bombers for if war did break out they would be ready!
It only took 5 weeks before Japan and Southern California was attacked, ponies dropped their ‘potion bombs’ (the ones that survived) on the cities of San Diego and Tokyo, only for the potions to have no effects on humans; this also made the workforce that kept the cities clean know they were about to have a bad day.
The ponies were shell-shocked on how their potions hadn’t worked, as soon as the reports came in the B-52s were already getting in the air!
_*M*_*M*_*M*_*M*_*M*_
“Go fish…” Said a young human male. He was sitting at a round table, along with three others who were playing the classic game of go fish they found it as a way to kill time until they got the go. They didn’t wait much longer as their commander ran into the door, causing to slam open.
“Get to your feet! We have orders to meet up in the debrief room!” they quickly put their cards down and rushed out of their seats. Running out the door they made their way to the debrief room. Once there they sat down along with the other B-52 pilots, later their commanding officer came in and have them the details.
“Listen up! We have just received reports of Equestrian Squadrons attacking Tokyo and San Diego! We have received orders to attack Equestrian cities, they did not specify the targets so I guess you can hit whatever the bomb falls on.” the old experienced officer looked around the room, making sure the inhabitants were paying attention. He wasn’t surprised to see a few of them to be sleeping or not paying attention at all. “Now, you will have a fighter escort. Your bombers will be filled with an assortment of bombs, as well as the wings in some areas. I don’t care what you attack, just send a clear message to these big-head equines.”
_*M*_*M*_*M*_*M*_*M*_
Soon the bombers were in the air, taking up a close formation the bombers took off towards the shield. It took hours for them to make it, and some of the pilots and crew legs were numb from the flight. Turning towards the shield they easily passes through it, its purpose was lost to them.
Either way, it was a quiet night over ‘Manehatten’ as the ponies called it. Ponies walked around the streets heading home or just out for a stroll. However a lone Earth Pony mare walked through the park, looking towards the clear sky. The moon gave a soft purple glow from the color of the shield. She wished that the shield wasn't there, she wanted to see the moon as it was. As she continued to watch the sky she noticed the strange bird formation approaching from the ocean. The more she looked at them the more clearer it became they were not birds.
_*M*_*M*_*M*_*M*_*M*_
“We are above the city of Manehattan, opening bomb bay doors.” said a man, the doors opened with a mechanical whine stopping with a clank. He reached over to a switch then flipped it, the bombs fell from their holders. Soon more bombs fell from the sky as the other B-52s dropped their loads of 500 to 750 pound bombs. They screeched as they raced towards the ground, angling themselves downward. Gravity doing the work caused them to fall faster, the ponies however hadn't taken notice yet.
That is until they touched the ground. Huge pockets of explosions shook the city, orange fires raised up from where the bombs had detonated. Building were reduced to rubble in an instant, the inhabitants killed from just the shockwave. The explosions following in large lines, each being close to each other in a single direction.
Skyscrapers were torn to pieces, destroying the floors causing them to become unbalanced. They later fell from the damage they had sustained, unable to hold their weight.
Ships that had been docked along with warehouses were turned into splinters of wood. Ponies jumped into the water, nearly avoiding the bombs that destroyed their vessels they once sailed on. Some ran around in panic, making them easy targets for falling bombs as they seemed to sometimes group up and run in a single line.
Soon the bombardment stopped, ending as soon as it came. It the span of a few seconds a majority of the city was reduced to rubble and fire. Foals that survived cried out for their mothers, a cry that will never be answered. Ponies crawled their way out of the rubble, some perishing before they could even be pulled out by others.
Many began to cry and weep from pain and loss. The streets were filled with bloodied bodies and craters, carriages that once transported ponies were piles of wood and iron.
In the sky the bombers turned back towards their base, heading home after sending a clear message to the Equestrians.
“You pissed off the wrong species.”
Hoofington was hit soon after, by three waves of bombers. The entire city was destroyed with casualties being somewhere in the thousands. Soon after; Canterlot was hit as the bombers faced resistance, but the ponies ‘magic’ only seemed to dissipate when they hit the frames of the aircraft. The city soon collapsed after six waves, causing it to become a pile of rubble at the base of the mountain.
An invasion fleet was already underway, but Equestria soon vanished from the Pacific, out of fear of another ass whoopin’. Humanity however just went about their lives, acting like it never happened. To the ones that had bombed the cities however, it was a good fireworks display.

Just make sure the ponies are smart enough to surrender.

No kidding.

Not bad. You could use a good editor to fix some word choice and the like.
Two things I noticed though:
-Elmo doesn't have the support for B-52's. Eielson would be the staging point for them, as it has in the past. (I live in Alaska)
-Back in the Cold War era, the all nuclear bombers were hot seated. The crews were rotating in and out as one plane idled while others powered down. At any time 1/2 of the squadron had their aircraft idling or able to be in the air inside 5 minutes. Orders would be delivered en route.
4773596 Don't forget Alondro
4773609
He's pretty bad too, isn't he?
Maybe not as bad as lordofmyth but still punch-in-the-face worthy.
4773613 He may be bad, but comparing Alondro to Lordofmyth is like comparing a rotten fish to a trashcan full of rotting fish. You get more bull for your buck.

*nods slowly*
......
Its.... okay?
I don't know. I hate TCB with a passion, but something about your story offends me somehow???
Make a sequel where a a single bomber was inside the shield when they ran away and the crew decides to clear out the survivors
Never mess with the B.U.F.F.
I was there.
Well pretty ponies vs 750 Pounds of death, well my Money is on the Bombs. Great one shot
Anti-TCB? What does that mean?
Im pretty sure magic would over power everything we could through at it but what ever.
Oh yes, bomb everything. History has clearly shown that violence solves problems. Granted, we're dealing with unrealistic circumstances, but the principal is still ridiculous.
ha ha ha. Ponies go boom.
Some punctuation errors. Not bad for a first story, though.
750 lb bombs and B-52s?
4774685
Yeah? 750lb GP bombs.
4774369
Magic can't effect what it has no touch on. Like humans here are devoid of magic and cannot be effected by it's effects.
4774399
I would bomb the fuck out of Equestria if they attacked my homeland.
4773605
I know the story was sheit, I didn't put much effort into this really. It was an idea I wanted to get out.
4774963 Good thing you're not the leader of a nation then. If everyone thought like that, millions of innocents would be killed, no matter where you're from. Surprisingly, returning violence for violence doesn't solve problems. It just creates more.
4774993
The Jews in the Nazi Death Camps were freed through violence, the U.S. was born on violence, The Civil War abolished Slavery in the U.S. through Violence! Our rockets today wouldn't be possible without WW2 and the Germans!
Peace is also brought through violence and war. Harmony through Chaos!
4775011 Yes, but the Jews were brought into captivity through violence, our rockets today aren't necessary, slavery was born through greed and violence.
4775021
Things begin in violence and things end in violence. Also, without our rockets we wouldn't have got to the moon and space.
4775072
The universe has gone from unimaginable, featureless heat to complexity, and will in time return to unimaginable, featureless cold...
4775128
Everything is born in Chaos, and everything will end in Chaos.
4774958 Just because we have no magic does not mean we cant be effected by it. All they would do is use telekinesis and rip the planes right out of the sky. Or teleport the pilot to the outside of the plane midair or teleport the pilots heart to the outside of their chest. Face it If we ever went to war with beings with magic we would be screwed.
4775159 Not chaos. That's a poor, poor synonym for what happens. All will be dispersed, even, smooth. And then nothing will happen ever again.
4775160
Actually, Equestria traveled to a universe without magic. Without a base, it could not function, overtime it may have a small effect but Equestria retreated before magic was able to leave a define print on the planet.
4775188
The planes are in Equestria. A world of magic a place where they would be screwed and even without magic its not difficult to cause a plane to crash if you can get close to it and a Pegasus can To break a jet engine through something big into it like a rock, To disable a plane with a propeller just through a thick rope at the propeller and they are going down. My point its your story is severely floored.
When i read this , those pictures just popped in my head , i'm sorry if this offend anyone in anyways :

Actually, the Bombers first wave was a surprise attack. B-52s have no propellers and have more than just 4 engines so they wouldn't just drop out of the sky. Also, a non-magic machine can't be effected since it has no base magic. They had escorts meaning Pegisi would have to deal with supersonic fighter jets with missiles and the tail gunners of the 52s.
They also stay in close formation making them harder targets. As well as being 40,000 feet in the air, thus they couldn't even reach them until they lowered altitude.
4775277
I just noticed that!
4775293 when you think about it, those ponies really need some Democracy , and less Royalty
4775305
I hate royalty, thinking they are above everyone else. In America, the government is under the people!
4775314 seems like royalty is working in Equestria
Could've used some napalm.
4775288 Your concept of how magic effects things is based on? I stand by it that earth would loose a fight against things with magic. Did you know there is dragons in Equestria that would simply bat the planes out of the sky like flies. We can keep this going if you really want to. You say something Then I poke holes in it,
Its nice to have a debate were nobody is trolling.
4775160
You are such a fucking retard.
critical criticism criticized
a - your magic seems to function eratically. Pegasi can fly and carry Celestia's chariot, but the potion fails and the dome allows bombs to fall through (unless it is the interaction of magic and non-magic objects where magic fails to act).
b - not even in WW 1 did they just send off bombers to 'hit what they could'. Bombers always have assigned targets. And after the amount of time the military has had to work in your story, most of Equestria would already by photo mapped from orbit and appropriate targets selected for a variety of responses. If there had been no deaths, I can not imagine a full scale assault on a major city.
c-there appears to be no watch or patrols set by Equestria. A unicorn could affect a bomber in variouse ways, but none seem to be present. All trust seems to be placed in the dome, even after the failure of the potion indicates magic may not act as expected.

GTFO. They started this shit, we merely wrapped it up. Plus, we could have easily sent Minuteman ICBM with nuclear warheads to all of their major cities, with a huge emphasis on Canterlot.
Now that is out of the way, I've been looking forward to reading this all day.
Not really peace loving now are they? Seems a little contradictory.
A plus for not putting this in a future setting. Most tend to go with somewhere between 2016-2025.
*flak
If this is after the Cold War (early 1990s), then the president should be George Dubya Sr not Reagan.
Again, after the Cold War right? We wouldn't have to stockpile as we still have the previous stockpiles from a few years ago.
To bad, because this was a great curbstomp.
All in all, this was a nice quick read but it was too rushed. Something like this needs to be fleshed out more. Also, is this really a one shot? Because the story is marked a incomplete.
If the spelling mistakes and a few punctuation issues could be fixed, this story has potential.
As to the ideas of magic being able to simply overwhelm technology? Don't be so sure on that one.
4774984 Iiked it either way so no worries :D
4775669 reading through what had happened with the stuff in the rest of the story, I'd say that the interaction between magic and non-magic things was what happened in here.

You're not poking holes in anything he says.
