Chapter 1: Contact
18:42 UTC, September 7th, 1986
USS Iwo Jima Command Center
LPH-2 Amphibious Assault Ship
The Pacific Ocean
54 Miles From the Barrier
The room was in chaos. They were close enough to send helicopters to survey the area that the barrier was believed to have engulfed, as well as search for any ships that had been unfortunate enough to be there at the time. It was certain that a cruise ship that had left port from Honolulu two days prior was in the are of effect, and had not had established any contact whatsoever since the barrier appeared. It was increasingly likely that the 2,000 persons on the ship had been a complete loss.
The Marine Captain looked at the chart that showed the area that was affected. Samuel Johnson knew his men would have to go over to the barrier to investigate. They would probably send some of them in on CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters for search and rescue, and others would come in on other helicopters for offensive and defensive capabilities. Suddenly, he heard a shout from the bridge. Sam reflexively prepped his M16A2, and ran towards the deck.
His jaw fell open when he saw what the shouting was about. A large purple translucent wall was now becoming visible through the dense fog. It was clear that there was a landmass on the other side, even if it was slightly faded. Sam wondered the only thing that a US Marine officer would in his situation- When are we going to launch the landing?
The Captain wasn't an idiot- he knew they wouldn't just attack a plausible extra-terrestrial settlement without reason, Other than the thousands that are probably dead now, but it probably was an accident, and declaring war without reason would be stupid. Breaking out of his shock, he closed his mouth and proceeded back into the command center. But the Captain knew one thing- history was being made here.
1205 UTC, 8 September 1986
United Nations Main Office
Geneva, Switzerland
Europe
Soviet fighters followed the vehicle as it had left the barrier, and had been doing so for hours now. Soon, the planes ran low on fuel and were replaced by other MiGs. As they entered Switzerland, they were replaced by Swiss F5's. Once it had landed on the street in front of the UN Headquarters, news crews swarmed the area with helicopters, vans and news teams.
The ponies that were on the vehicle, that could be safely called a 'chariot' had entered a nearby building, including the exhausted pegasi carrying it. The news crews swarmed the entrance, but only a few could get inside, and for those that did, it was the greatest journalistic story in the history of the human species.
The ponies wanted to speak with leaders from around the world, The United States and The Soviet Union, namely. Thus, the United Nations quickly notified Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbochev. Their mutual consensus on arrival would be eight days.
1222 UTC, September 8th, 1986
The Oval Office
Washington, D.C.
United States
"Please say that again, I could have sworn you said a pony princess," Reagan said as more of a statement than a question to the man on the other end of the phone.
"I did sir, and she says she's from a land called, uhm," it was audible he put his hand over his microphone and asked the pony in question, "Equestria, sir."
The American president did a double take. Well, an alien's an alien, he decided realizing it didn't matter if they were little green men or pink ponies, they were other worldly visitors, and they should be treated the same, none the less.
"I'll see how long it will take to get Air Force One ready, but you can expect me to be there ASAP."
"Yes sir," The Swiss man on the phone replied.
Reagan sighed, This was going to be a long month.
0954 UTC, 16 September 1986
Aéroport International de Genève
Geneva, Switzerland
Europe
The wheels of the white and blue Boeing 707 touched down on the runway. Above,a pair of F-15s was orbiting the airport. The pilot of the outdated jet was handed over by tower to the ground frequency, as he taxied to a ramp. Air stairs pulled up to the plane and the actor-turned-president stepped out, smiling and waving for the cameras. He climbed into a heavily modified black Cadillac limousine that sported the Presidential Seal.
The limo drove towards the UN building. The second he stepped out of his limo, he was surrounded by news crews, and if it weren't for the Secret Service agents and UN Guards, he would have been mobbed even more. However, he managed to dodge the reporters and enter the building.
The Secretary General shook his hand, "Good to see you got here in once piece,"
"Well, you get used to it after a while," Reagan said in good humor.
"So, are you ready for this?" the Secretary said moving himself in front of the American president, barring him from entering the convention room.
"I've seen their pictures," Reagan replied, "I can handle this."
The Secretary-General looked unsure, but stepped out of the way, allowing the two UN Guards to open the door. Immediately, Reagan walked over to the conference table and took a seat. Along with Celestia, sat Mikhail Gorbochev, Margaret Thatcher, Li Xiannian and François Mitterrand. Reagan was surprised about Celestia, still though, he had a goal, and gawking in surprise about someone's looks certainly wouldn't win him any friends.
"Lady Celestia," He spoke, "Do you have any intentions for what you will do on Earth?"
Celestia smiled, "I want to help you."

I can also recommend Option Gamma. It's very well written and it has an excellent story.
DEFCON music loaded and ready.
DEFCON 4 in five minutes!
"They mutual consensus on arrival would be eight days. " May want to fix that.

Thanks for the check.
There is absolutely zero way this can end well for the ponies. All we would have to do is launch one nuke (or more depending on how good of AA a unicorn can be) and either Celestia puts up a shield or they all die. Let's say that she does put up a shield, how long can she hold it up before she gets tired? Even if her and Luna swapped, each time they swap they would have to lower it a bit as to now allow the radiation from the previous layer to fall on them when they switch. Long story short, nuclear firearms win the day. +1'd for the story, it's pretty chill.
If this is TCB Celestia as we know here, this will not herald good things.
Oh the ponies are gonna get fucked
lol, Equestria is fucked.
Nuclear stockpile in 1986
-USSR: 45,000 warheads
-US: 25,000 warheads
That's a lot
soon the ponies will see the glory of socialism... shooting hundreds of bullets per minute.
1952044
Lol no. Humanity's screwed. Why, you ask. Because
1) Equestria's got Magic
2) Equestria has 3 GODS (Celestia, Luna, and Discord) that can be unleashed upon humanity
3) Equestria's got Pinkie Pie.
1952044 Don't forget all the chemical weapon stockpiles that some countries had at the time, especially soviets.
In a "realistic" scenario (as realistic as can be a war between the humanity and magical ponies), humanity would have the upper hand. With thousand of years of war experience plus our superior technology even a Third World country will mope the floor with the equestrians, not to mention two Earth superpowers already prepared for World War 3 . ( I suggest read chapter 2 of "The Audience" of RealityCheck for a better analysis).
The problem is, in CB stories the magical side tends to be overpowered: the ponies are near invincible in combat (the fallen human soldiers quickly switch sides via serum, the barrier is nuke-proof and Celestia is a literal Sue-God who can survive a Supernova.
So, let´see.
1952332 and the bio-weapons, don't forget the bio-weapons. Chemical weapons will also served as psychological weapons, the wounds they inflict will demoralize the Equestrians quite easily. Seriously go search the pictures
1952238
1)Magic, what can magic do? Only Twilight have OP magic other ponies only have basic telekinesis. The power of magic in the show is very inconsistant, at a time Twilight need to use all her effort to just levitate an Usar Minor. Then she can vaporize rocks without much effort. But keep in mind that is just Twilight. Also unicorns in equestria are not trained in combat magic.
2)Three Gods? lol I don't see Celestia and Luna as Gods. Celestia control the sun, but she can't use that power on anything else. Proof? When she fight Queen Chrysalis she is instantly defeated, and not much damage is done to the surrounding. Thus proven not much energy is involve. Luna is weaker than Celestia so no problem. Then we have Discord, what makes you think Celestia and Luna will release Discord? Futhermore, what makes you think Discord will side with them? Remember alicorn =/= God
3)...... yeah I don't have an argument for that
4) Humans outnumber the ponies by god knows how much. Humans are natural predators, every one of us can be a potential soldier, but ponies aren't. As seen in FiM most ponies just panic and start running around when danger comes, even Pinkie Pie.
All TCB ponies must be purged, every single one of them. Except the Pro-human ponies.
Let the genocide begin
"I want to help you."
"Oh?"
"Yes, your televisions only get about fifty channels. I can upgrade you to an expanded cable package and get you upwards of three hundred!"
1952688
We are demon ponies. We cannot be killed by mere nuclear explosions (even though they still hurt like a bitch). Let the massacre of humanity begin 
Lol you forgot about me, Slendermare, Smile Pony, as well as a few others
1952238 You really think magic can defeat nuclear or even conventional weapons? Remember, by their own claims they haven't been to war in a thousand years, and if you look at Greek, Roman or Egyptian mythology, gods can be and are often times killed by mortals. Plus, she lacks conviction. And so called 'harmony' is where her magic comes from.
1953499
I should know. Slendermare and I didn't meet on the best of terms 
(see Jeff the Killer vs. Slenderman for details)
))
Buddy, I'm the ponified version of Jeff the Killer. Read the shit I went through when Jane the Pony caught me, and then get back to me. Bullets are nothing compared to what I went through then. Not to mention that Slendermare and Smile Pony are demons, and demons can't be killed by conventional means
((OOC: God damn these people need to learn to not take my comments so seriously... I'm just playing the role of a psychopath, spicing up the comments section a little bit for luls. If you're crazy enough to take the in-character Jeff the Pony comments seriously, then you sir, are the real nutter
1952688
No, do NOT let the genocide begin. Genocide is exactly what we are trying to avoid here. The whole point is that genocide is a horrible, horrible thing regardless of who is committing it.
1953233
You and the other fan-characters you listed are not canon. Your argument is completely non-sensical. It would be like me countering with "yeah, but humanity has Batman and Superman on their side!". They are not in this story, they are not even in the source material, they only exist in certain fanon works (and in at least one case, only in your head).
1952238
1. Equestria has functional, limited magic. Their magic-users are not all-powerful, and neither is their magic itself. It has been shown to have rules and limits just like any other fundamental force. Furthermore, as has already pointed out Twilight Sparkle is the exception, not the rule. Very few ponies are as magically powerful or capable as she is.
2. There is absolutely no evidence in the show that Celestia or Luna are considered gods of any kind. They are more powerful than other ponies, yes, but not infinitely so or even close to it. It has been noted that a collection of unicorns working together are capable of moving the sun and the moon, so able to do so is not considered to be a "godlike" level of power on the show. Furthermore, there is quite a bit of evidence that the sun and moon of Equestria are not at all the same thing as our own sun and moon. They seem to be much smaller, much closer objects than our own. Evidence: When Celestia raises the sun the effect is seen nigh-instantaneously. Given the speed of light, this means that their sun must be relatively close to their planet. In addition, Rarity's wings actually burnt up from flying too close to the sun, which supports the idea that their sun is significantly closer to their planet than our own. Since it appears to be the same size as our sun, this means that it must be significantly smaller. We can thus conclude that much less actual power would be required to move Equestria's sun and moon than our own, and so one cannot use "but they move the sun and the moon!" as justification for calling Celestias and Luna goddesses.
Also, as has already been pointed out, Celestia got beaten by Queen Chrysalis. In that battle, she was not shown to be a nigh-omnipotent goddess. That is, the one time we actually got to see Celestia battle she was nowhere near as powerful as some fans have made her out to be.
3. Most of Pinkie's powers are fanon, and what "powers" she has demonstrated in canon material were still no match for the likes of Discord. It can be assumed that she also not nearly as powerful as fans have made her out to be.

((OOC: Read...my...last...damn...comment...
1953540
Well now I just feel silly.
As you can tell, I spent a lot of time writing that last comment and so you hadn't actually made the comment in question yet when I started my own post.
Also, you read remarkably quickly.
1953553
}, and HOLY MOTHERBUCKING SHIT I THOUGHT SPELL BOOKS WOULD BE ENTERTAINING!!! It's... so... boring! 
the only mildly entertaining spell in there was a "tested" invisibility spell {Not even gonna bother to attempt, obviously 
}, only because the ritual required to execute it would've looked bucking RIDICULOUS to watch 
] And don't feel bad, same thing happened to me when I read through a story, and thought I had made the first comment, only to find there were 30 comments that just hadn't loaded yet :/
((OOC: Comes in handy when I'm researching a topic for a story that I'm helping someone write. [Currently researching a translated copy of a medieval spellbook {The spells are Necromancy, in case you're wondering}, and I don't want to get caught with it {people might... get the wrong idea
1953513 Something you need to realize here: Roleplay in the comments is against the rules, so cut the crap and get back to me.
1953605
Also, gain a sense of humor and get back to me 
))
((OOC: Please show me just WHERE in the rules it says I'm not allowed to make roleplay comments
1953618 Is this enough for you? Also, I am not sure if you know this, but people do act like you and are serious. I don't know why.
This could certainly not be interpreted as role play, or to meet the role of a character, as a matter of fact, that's a fairly common view on this site.
1953636
I know that you probably wouldn't have understood this right off the bat [in fact I should've seen it coming, now that I think about it 
], but I'm saying this now to prevent further issues: If my comment, or a portion of my comment does not begin with "((OOC:", and end with "))", then the comment is a comment from my roleplay character, Jeff the Pony. These comments are meant to be jokes, in which I'm merely posting it for luls, and shouldn't be taken very seriously unless you want to get into a comment battle with "Jeff the Pony". If it does begin with "((OOC:", and end with "))", however, then the comment is a serious one, from me, not a roleplay comment, and can be taken seriously if the reader feels it should be. Any comment that DOESN'T have the OOC beginning and ending should be assumed to be from my roleplay side of the account.
Now in the meantime, to avoid further discussion, I shall make my intentions on what I intend to do upon making this comment with an animated meme:
))
((OOC:
1) Okay, fine I see your point, but read Blue Thunder's comment. It's technically true, and how was I supposed to know that roleplay wasn't allowed, considering I only read the site rules :/
2) If you had taken the time to look closely at my previous posts, you would see that some of them begin with "((OOC:", followed by the comment, then ending with "))". Either this is the case for the entire comment, or it's mixed in with the comment as a whole. When you see this, it means that the comment is an Out Of Character comment, meaning that's a genuine comment from me, the owner of the account, not the character that I play to give people a good chuckle now and again because of how cliche they can sometimes be
3) [To any admins that may read this] This account is not STRICTLY meant for roleplaying. It's just something that I do every now and again in the comments sections of certain stories in hopes of gaining a chuckle or two from whomever reads it. In hind sight, I can see why there was a slight misunderstanding from my previous "Jeff the Pony" comments, and I apologize to anyone who took them seriously. I use this account for making genuine comments on the stories I read, I run a few blogs, and I assist certain authors [Shadowed Rainbow, for example] by coming up with ideas for them to use in their stories. Again, I apologize if the "Jeff the Pony" comments I left [once again, as jokes, nothing more] on this page and others offended anyone.
4) Welp, that's all I have to say on the matter

Thank you, and have a good day / night [whatever the case is for you]
1953513 what about our slenderman and the characters you said that are based on their human counterparts?
1954002
Wow, just wow... I knew I was crazy, but that was just plain stupid 
Anyway, since they're supernatural beings, they can't be killed very easily. Guns and bombs will cause pain, but any physical injuries won't last very long, and will just piss them off even more in the long run. 
You mean Smile Pony, Slendermare, the Rake ((OOC: Sorry I can't think of a pony name for the Rake. It's not much to work with, seriously...)), etc.? They're demons, and the only thing that can harm is- wait, was I seriously about to reveal their weaknesses to you?
Edit: ((OOC: When I said that I was abandoning this comments section, I meant that I will no longer reply to hate comments except to direct them to my explanation comment.))
1954044 ok

This is okay so far. Though nothing much has happened yet. That means anything can happen. I'm hopeful it will!
Check your Gorbachev/Gorbachov spelling, for it's Gorbochev in a number of places.
Well, from the description presumably Celestia's going to turn out to be evil but we haven't seen that yet. Something happened the ships that were in the area where Equestria appeared -- is this another story where they all died horribly for no good reason? I mean, that's such an *obvious* mistake if you've got enough contact beforehand to spy on the world and learn the situation.
1981981 I don't think you could honestly appear in any 3500 square mile spot and not have someone there. Even if it's the ocean- somebody's going to be there, and they really won't just be pushed aside by a barrier.
1982034 Arctic circle maybe? It's not like you're using Earth's weather.
I was thinking more 'do weird shit ahead of time so that people know to stay clear' or maybe 'send ponies through to kidnap everyone who'd get telefragged', though.

On a note completely un-related to this story in any way what so ever... OMG I READ THE WARRIORS SERIES TO AND FIREHEART IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER!
... *leans closer* we have some sort of connection

Yeah I love the series up to the "Power of Three" books, where I feel the impact of the series starts to wear off. Love the Original books and the New Prophecy books.
Anyway, USA and Soviets working together... Paradoxical.
Yep, this story really is a wank material for those "Humanity Fuck Yeah!" guys.
1953233 Um, well, we kinda have human versions of you, so technically, you cancel eachother out. No dice
This looks very good but it would be better if you chosed a timeframe when Gobachev,that Bald fucker,was not in power yet. Maybe even go as far back was 1952 to the time where Stalin was still the Premier.
