This is interesting. Will the Wabash Cannonball be appearing in equestrian at any time in "beyond the express?"

A little better, but watch out.

oh shit futa's and caribou working together thats not good

8707806
Hello conigwolf,

and yes indeed, this is an interesting twist to the story, isn't it?

8707874
Hello Thunderchild14,

And yes, it will be. The Wabash Cannonball, aka, the second deadliest war train after the Battleship Express, pulled by Southern Pacific Daylight 4449, will indeed be in the story, but later on. It's role will be minor in this story, but come the sequel, when stuff goes down, it WILL be there!

Hello Starscribe,

and yeah, I know, watch the "um's"!

8708923
Hello forrest yuchnitz,

And yeah, it's not good! HOWEVER, as will be revealed later, not all Futas are bad. There are some good Futas, and they will do good in this story. Unfortunately, the vast majority are bad, and that will lead to something terrible.

Cant wait for the sequel. Lets hope it doesn't send me to tartarus like the last one

Hello Sanguine Blade,

And I'm glad that you can't wait for the sequel. I'm writing it right now, and the Prologue, and Chapter 1 are complete, they just need a little bit more tweaking. Then I'll write Chapter 2, and once that's done, I'll release the story.

I hope that you, and others enjoy it, as I'm putting a lot of time and effort into writing it!

Did you like the video i sent? the north korea marching?

8710705
Yeah, I got the video. It was hilarious! I showed it to my brother, and he laughed as well.

No prob. Also if you ever want an OC just rip off on of my alicorn parts. I would love to be there. I always loved the army but having cancer and a poor medical history, it was never meant to be.

8710736
Eh, I might have need for another character in the sequel to "Beyond the Express." I'll maybe need another military commander, so any volunteers?

Well i would nominate my own character Sanguine Blade. Just rip off the wings or horn. I also have Blue Blazer, Monochrome Gaze, Bloodmoon Flame was a warrior version of Sanguine with only unicorn but technology to assist him in combat. A techno-mage if you will.

8710893
Those all sound like great ideas. I'll think about it long and hard as I'm writing "Beyond the Express", and I'll let you know when I'm writing the sequel, and I've made my final decision.

8711803
Thanks. Id love to be apart of someone else's story for once

8712213
Well, like I said, I'll finish "Beyond the Express, and then I'll see where to take the sequel, as well as finding a spot for you.

Finally, she spoke. "I, am the leader of this imperial remnant. I was empress over our race, the Futas. And my name......" She smiled a bit, "Is Demetria!"

SOB!

Hello funguy26, and yes, this saga ain't over yet! It's continuing in this story's sequel, "Beyond the Express", which is now view-able, and is being read. I hope that you enjoyed "Battleship Express", and will enjoy "Beyond the Express."

Hello Damnaion,

And I'm glad that you enjoyed the story......if that's what you emoji's are implying. However, don't be sad! There's a sequel to this story, "Beyond the Express", and it's out now, and being worked on as we speak! I'm 10 Chapters in, and adding more all of the time!

8805265
oh, btw.... i forget which early chapter it was, but i don't think the caribou and zebras would use pony terms like "everypony"
I remember seeing some caribou and zebra say that. I think they were either the ambassadors/diplomats in the scouting unit that got wrecked or some other guy in the scouting unit....

8805355
Hello LunarSoulOfTheLostLegion,

And if that is the case, then it was either a typo, or an accident. Only the Ponies use that phrase, and those of the Battleship Express, and Battalion 4009, due to them having been around the Ponies for so long, and their kind of adopting it as well. No others really use it, so if a Caribou or a Zebra did, then it was not intentional.

8821431
yea i enjoyed it :P

8822674
Hello shadowgod 3211,

And I’m glad that you enjoyed the chapter. Just wait though, not too long after this, the REAL action starts!

8823185
yea i do and i have something funny for you

(if your caught with a naked loli)

8823289
I DIED laughing when I saw this!

8823306
ikr

8823696
yep!

8858251
Yeah, sorry if the first point came across as annoying. Whether it was a typo or conscious choice I thought you might want to know. Mostly, this was assuming based on my own preference for people to point out if I made mistakes in my own work as I don't always have access to proofreaders or time to check myself.

As for the second point, yes, I understand that you seem to base it a lot from his point of view as he seems to be a main character. What I was pointing out was the instance I thought might have been a typo in the conversation between Don and Rainbow. I saw 'my' and 'I' used in there where it didn't seem to make sense grammatically or storytelling wise when it was essentially a third person conversation between two characters and the MC that should have been described by these wasn't present. Again, sorry if I'm coming across as annoying pointing this or anything else out. Just trying to do as I hope others can for me if there seems to be something off.

Hello redstargazer,

And I didn't see it as annoying, I just saw it as constructive criticism, as well as pointing out legitimate typos. And I see what you mean with your second point, and I think that this may be the only instance of it. If not, then I'll be sure to go back and correct it.

And I can take constructive criticism, as I WANT to make my stories better. Plus, I LOVE hearing from my readers, as well as reading comments, and replying to them. If you want to send more comments my way, feel free to do so! I'd LOVE to hear more from you about this story, as well as it's sequel, "Beyond the Express"!

Sorry if I already asked this, but how can a train be used for war, aside for transporting cargo?

8871472
Hello Starlight Nova,

And this question is EASILY answered by reading not only the prologue, but also most of the other battle chapters as well. I've explained in detail that the weapons on the train are attached to the cars. For example, one railgun takes up one car, or another car has 6 16in. guns, arranged in 2 turrets, on the car. Other cars might have machine guns or AA guns on them, or even heavily artillery guns again.

Just re-read the Prologue, where I give a description of the Battleship Express, and how well armed it is, and that should answer your question. The Battleship Express is basically a rolling, armored fortress on rails!

Got recommended this by a friend, thought why not.
Then this-

The Americans are fighting against the evil Futa Empire for control of the US.

"-the evil Futa Empire-"

I love you . I'm going to read the hell out of this just because of that.

Hello The Serpent Mage,

And thank you! I hate "Fall of Equestria", "Zebra Domination", and "Futadom World", so I decided to take them all out with one story! The Universe behind "Battleship Express" is VERY intricate, and I'm acutally in the process of writing the non-Pony version of this story, so that it can be published one day. In that story, the train doesn't go to Equestria, and the Battle of Vegas plays out differently, but that's another story.

Oh, and if you're disappointed that the Futas are only in the Prologue-Chapter 3, don't fret. They WILL return at the end of this story, this story's sequel, and the sequel's sequel, which will be about an all-out war between the Humans and the Equestrians, and the Futas.

(sorry, I have OCD. I HAVE to keep the comments at an equal number!)

Honestly I would expect those two to fight it out in short order, Danin's philosophy would not ALLOW females to be free near him

Hello Silentwoodfire,

And yes, that’s what one might expect, but yet, the Caribou only number about 200, while the Futas could easily be more than that. The true answer to your question can be found in Chapter 1 of “Beyond the Express”, as well as Chapters 2-3. More will be revealed in a future chapter, but for now, I will tell you that the Caribou are biding their time under the Futas, just waiting for a chance to strike again.

9040520
Clearly guerilla warfare hasn't occured to them

9040946
That was a possibility, however, I see it as going against Caribou philosophy. They’re true warriors, and believe in meeting an enemy head on. Also, by the time of this epilogue, 100% of the Caribou Empire is in Human and Equestrian hands, it’s cities are rubble, supplies and weapons have been destroyed or confiscated, most Caribou have turned against Danin, and are done with war. So it would have just been Danin, Dothan, 200 Caribou, Griffons, and Minotaurs, and whatever weapons and supplies that they could carry. Which wasn’t much.

So while continued guerrilla warfare was an option, they wouldn’t have lasted very long in their present conditions. Danin’s plan for allying with the Futas would prove to be much more interesting in the long run.

I brought some friends, and by friends, I mean the Alteisian Army!!!
Here they are!

9090576
Wow, JUST what we need for these battles! We were running a little bit short on manpower, but not anymore! Thanks for lending a helping-hand!

9090607
BE CAREFUL WITH THE TTR's, they can blow up a country the size of BOTH Koreas!

9090640
Oh don’t worry, we DEFINITELY will be!

9090673
I also brought along the "Disaster Recovery Tech," which are actually REALLY F******G EFFECTIVE against soldiers and body recovery!
Look at the slideshow, please!

9140230

Literally translated, Тюрьма крови means "Blood Prison", a terrifying name, for a terrifying place

Also, you seem like a good person. Keep up the good work!

9140236
Thanks.

And I do the best that I can with what I got. Not everything works, but what does, like "Battleship Express", becomes a gold mine that my readers LOVE!

I just read the part where ,I believe it was Cole, said "Is London your City to?".I am now getting flashbacks from the Meme Wars. Still had a good laugh.
