Ah the peaceful planet of Equuis, home to the Equestrian ponies whom never dealt with the horrors of war....
WELL TOO BAD! Humanity is coming, first contact between two vastly different factions! The might of the humans is unrivaled and with an ENTIRE PLANET for the taking, their will be war and there will be Grim Encounters!
This is a story of several militaristic first contact scenarios between the Equestrians and Humans at various points in history!
Note: All humans, whether ahistorical or fictional, can make an appearance in my story. I will make some changes to their origins and other things just to keep this in a steady pace with little exposition involve.
“We will defeat the aliens, bring them to their knees! For this new planet shall be the next Gaia of humanity and the restoration of the Empire!” Unknown Russian Soldier
Operation Nightfall: 2000 AD
The starry night sky fell on Canterlot. The capitol city lay resting, its habitants lay sleeping. The bustling city stays silent ‘till morning.
However, the night is still young. Unaware of the enemy that creeps into the city, the guards continue their mundane patrol: Their unwavering eyes looking carefully, but unable to see the invisible enemy hiding behind the forest.
“This is Sickle 1, Hammer Command over?”
“Da, I hear you comrade. Operation Nightfall is a go,”
Several guards are posted around the walls with another four guarding the main gate, their gold colored armor sticking out in the night. Suddenly, the guards were simultaneously killed, their heads exploding like a watermelon.
“Sickle team here, infiltrating the city,” said the leader of the twelve-man squad as they enter the city by climbing the walls
In the city, the guards were isolated; many of the patrols have only one pony, making it easier to take them out one by one.
“Its only midnight,” said one of the guards walking through an alley, “I wonder-“
One of the black ops soldiers grab the pony from behind, covering his mouth and then immediately slitting the throat with care, the ‘Royal Guard’ bleeding to death within seconds. The sounds of projectiles fired from silenced guns could be heard throughout the southeastern portion of the city.
Throughout the ordeal, the team was wary dealing with the Pegasi guards flying through the skies. Fortunately, the complacency of the city guards became their advantages as most of the guards on the ground do not used lanterns, making it easy to eliminate them without the Pegasi noticing. Any Pegasi stupid enough to land meets the same fate as their land counterparts.
After killing of over a hundred guards, and painting a-fifth of the city red, the Spec Ops team finally made it to the castle. They barely spend half of their ammunition.
The Black Ops team entered the castle and continued silencing the guards with machine-like efficiency. Every shot hits point blank in the head, every knife strike hitting a critical part of the pony anatomy and every guard eliminated with such speed and precision that none of the sleeping ponies in Canterlot are aware of the regime change going on this very night!
Twilight Sparkle slept comfortably in one of the castle’s guest rooms. She and her friends are sleeping in Canterlot castle for the night.
The unicorn woke up and step out into the hallway… (Yawns)
…and immediately felt blow to the back of her head, knocking her unconscious.
“Target C is captured,” said the Squad leader
“Roger that, all targets have been captured. Return to base, Mother Russia is proud of you. Your team has secure a brighter future for the Motherland,” said Command
As the team rendezvous and prepares to leave the castle, one last message comes from Central Command.
“Oh, you can loot the castle all you want. Our great leader, insist that you all be righteously rewarded!”
The black ops team leaves the city, with their ’prizes’ in tow. Artifacts of extreme importance are stolen as well. Their destination is Earth, the Russian spec ops arrive in Equuis using unknown ways.
Twilight wakes up, sitting in a chair, all four hooves tied up. Her blurry vision starts recovering allowing her to see the terrible situation occurring in front of her. The room was dark, aside from a single light in the center. In front of her lay a table and on the other side is a foreign bipedal creature standing up, both hands resting upon the object.
“Finally you’re awake,” said the Russian as Twilight tried getting out of the ropes that bind her
“Don’t think of using your pathetic magic,” the Russian said, “You’re in our world now. Plus, you don’t want to put your friends in any danger,”
The thought of her friends took out all her will to fight. Twilight simply sat and stared at her interrogator whom raises his hands in the air as the room began to be filled with light.
“Welcome to Russia. Welcome you’re new Overlords!”
"What!?!"
Twilight finally was able to see the creatures face, the most notable aspect is his cold and calculative eyes.
"My name is Vladimir Putin, leader of the glourious country of Russia. If you want to save your friends you will do as I ordered,"
"Never! When Celestia hears about..."
"Did you honestly think we wouldn't take care of your pathetic princesses as well!"
Putin puts his hands on the remote and points at the right side, turning on several TVs.
"Oh CELESTIA!" screamed Twilight
There were seven TVs on total, showing her friends, Celestia and Luna in similar situations to her:
-Fluttershy has tears in her eyes, from the continous screaming from her interrogator
-RD is being beaten to a pulp, multiple bruises could be seen in her face and chest. To make things more horrific, both Princesses are forced to witnessed the brutality.
-Pinkie Pie and Rarity are behind bars, both having a gloomy face.
-Applejack is being tortured, she is set on her while water is pouring through her face which is covered in a white cloth.
"No please Stop! I'll do anything pleases!" Twilight is reduced to a crying slob
"Good," he speaks through the communicator in his ear, "That is enough,"
The 'interragations' ended.
"See, it isn't that hard. As long as you follow my orders your friends will live free lives under my country's.... protection,"
"Okay," said by Twilight unable to stop crying
"Good, first order of business is to remaned planet Equuis...
Cheng Chao-an enjoys another great day of farming in the planet of Grand Muscovia. The spring season proves to be very bountiful to the Chinese immigrant as the storehouse begins to stockpile in grain and coffee.
“Father I’ve brought the workers!” said Cheng Zhan, Chao-an’s first son walking on the dirt path
The son escorted the two workers whom would be working alongside his family in their farmland. The Griffon and Earth Pony would provide much of the muscle work, not that the Cheng family are wimps, but with Chao-an expecting another child, the family hired outside work to cope with the amount of crops growing during spring.
Life is good for the Cheng family like so many Chinese people emigrating to the new planet. Thanks to good relations between the Russian and Chinese governments, the Asian superpower finally is relieved of its humongous population and lack of space. Chinese citizens living in Grand Muscovia receive all sorts of benefits, including not being applicable in the One-Child Policy. Soon, China’s birth rate would accelerate, ensuring that unlike America or Japan, China’s population won’t grow older statistically speaking.
Chao-an notices that both aliens are afraid of him as he got closer to them, the shaking of their legs and the way they look at them with their eyes, especially the young griffon, broke Chen's heart.
The Cheng family always proud themselves on their self-determination and kindness. His ancestors never profited from another man's pain. This has resulted in the family's low social status but also their survival. Surviving the last century, the family has been blessed by people whom helped his family in their direst straits.
"Look at them! So young. Where are their parents!?!"
Cheng Chao-an knows that many immigrants keep Equestrians as slaves. One slave owner in particular, an American, whips his Changeling slaves for the smallest of infractions!
"Of course the American is a Christian Caucasian! As if those people aren't responsible for anything horrible!" Chao-an thought sarcastically
The man has met several Americans in his lifetime. Some good, some taking their Americanist Extremism way off to Looney Tunes.
"Son, would you prepare some tea,"
Cheng Zhan goes into the house while the father looks at the two workers with a warm smile.
"Welcome... I am Chao-an..." said the father as he brought his workers into the house
The Unicorn and the Griffon are two of the lucky ones. They maybe the minority, but history will vindicate them later as the great pacifist and civil rights leaders of old. The cycle of hate is destined to continue. Humans stop trying to controlling one another and start controlling the Equestrians because they were so weak. None knew what it was like to be pitted against each other like animals for all eternity, especially the Ponies whom failed to reach the same heights of humanity despite starting civilization much earlier.
The factory city of Manehatten, a new industrial point in the Russian-Chinese joint economy...
Machines and Equestrian slaves work day and night pumping out goods for their human overlords. Ponies, Changelings, Griffons and other creatures work in terrible conditions in an endless loop of exploitation and violence.
"I suggest you work faster comrade," said a Russian overseer of the workers as he cocks his handgun, "You wouldn't want to end up in a gulag, would you not?"
The sins of the Industrial Revolution repeat themselves as the humans did to the aliens, what they did to themselves. The emancipation and eventual march for civil rights would take centuries and would result in the almost extinction of the many species of Equestria.
The Motherland couldn't keep its secret forever from the rest of the world. The news that Russia not only found a portal connecting Earth towards another world, but claiming it as well sent proverbial shockwaves through the International Community. The US and several nations are demanding Russia to give them access to the new world.
Putin however, disagrees. Being one of the most powerful countries in the world, belittling or bullying such a country rarely works. The portal is located deep within Russian territory, in the cold territory of Siberia, guarded by the Russian military. The nations of the world could do nothing, rumors of Equestrian exploitation circle around Earth, but with information on Grand Muscovia guarded tightly, the UN has no power. Eventually the horrible news comes out. But by then, it would be accepted as the norm, such as the gross corruption in America, the endless wars in the Middle East and the for
Russia and China used their new influence and economic power to buy or persuade companies, even those with the economical power of entire nations, to invest or move out of areas out of their interest, empowering themselves and their allies and leaving everybody else to rot. This may not mean anything now but Putin; he is a man looking straight at the future. And the 'Great Recession' would not affect Russia or its allies to any severe degree.
Seven years later…
“People of Ukraine, it is our pleasure to announce that the Ukrainian nation would be integrated into the new EPTO pact! Now we shall…
“Reinvigorate the economy of Georgia! Working hand-in-hand with our Russian brethren…"
“Finland will face the new millennium with prosperity!”
Many of the former territories of the Soviet Union have begun joining Russia’s East Pacific Treaty Organization. Unlike NATO, this alliance is both military and economical, allowing Russia’s new allies to benefit from Russia’s exploitation on Grand Muscovia…
…this has put Russia #1 on both the GDP list and World’s Most Powerful Military!
However, it isn’t only Russia that is making a move on the global stage
“We Taiwanese would like to settle our grievances with our brothers and sisters of the Mainland…”
The Eastern Dragon asserts its hegemony over Taiwan, Mongolia and Vietnam. The ever-growing ‘Republic’ of China has outpaced the US in its GDP and is catching up in its military capabilities. Soon, the United States of America would crumble, unable to support its own weight due to the incessant corruption and politics.
"We the people of Texas, do not call this shamble union our government! We failed once, but we now secede from the Union!"
"I, Governor Gray Davis, believe that we, the people of California, ought to secede from the Federal Government. Less it brings it down with us!"
The USA is crumbling, its economy is it shambles, its states in rebellion and its influence around the world all gone. Like a rush of sugar, this sugary country crashes... hard. Whether this American Empire is reborn or stays fragmented is up in the air, but the power of America has come to pass and so is the age of American Dominance.
As for the future, none are sure. Russia and China's futures look bright, but the golden days don't last forever. Both countries are also good examples of that. What is certain is that by taking the opportunity of a lifetime, both nations propelled themselves to a whole new path, and a whole new world.
“Opportunities multiply as they are seized.”
― Sun Tzu
"If you do not think about your future, you cannot have one."
"This is unexpected," said Boomer, the demolition expert
The team is part of the first group of humans to ever stumble onto an Earth-like planet. This wasn't what the group expected when the portal activated.
"Listen up! We don't know what lurks in this place. Its too soon to tell whether this place is devoid of advance life or not," said the Colonel, smoking one of his Cuban cigars
"Get your gear up boys, cause we ain't claiming this world withiut a fight," the Colonel said as his men prep their guns and equipment
Lloyd ventures into the forest. The close combat specialist walks silently as the vegetation brushes of his face and body. Armed with his Katana and shurikens, the special forces soldier is truly a deadly machine.
Suddenly, Lloyd heard a noise behind him and unsheathes his katana...
"What are you!?" Said by somepony
Only to turn behind him and see a blue pony
"Loo-"
(The sound of a metallic object embedding itself on flesh) In a nano-second, Lloyd turned around and thrown one of his sharp and deadly shurikens, accelerating as fast as an arrow, ripping out a cockatrice's neck.
"Celestia save me!" screamed Trixie
Suddenly, two UN soldiers appeared out of nowhere and grab the blue pony. Though she struggle, she find herself being carried of by the aliens, afraid to use her magic less she lose her head!
The UN soldiers find all sorts of strange creatures. Stone-skinned Alligators, Multi-headed Hydras and all sorts of deadly plants. A combination of assault rifle fire and grenades allowed the humans to eliminate the variety of threats without a single loss of life.
"Unhand me! The Great Trixie shant be carried like a beast!" said by the blue unicorn, being carried by two UN soldiers
Trixie is gently put down on the ground, making a puff sound. The rest of the team could hardly believe what they see in front of them.
"So, this pony can talk eh?" said one of the UN soldiers
"You shall refer to me as-"
"I shall refer to you as guest or prisoner of war. Which one is it?" said the Colonel
Trixie remained silent.
"Good. Where can we meet some of your kind?"
"Town of Ponyville to the west!"
"Etrius! You and your team go to this town. Time to pay the locals a visit," said the Colonel
"What if the natives prove hostile?" asked Beecher
"Don't worry Beecher. We'll take them out no problem!" said Etrius
The four man team skulks throughout the forest, going through the vegetation with silence. They target and eliminate all the threatening creatures in their way. Beecher sniping several Manticores from afar with his silencer rifle, each killed with a single shot to the head. Lloyd uses his shurikens to kill giant bees, and recycles them for later use.
"Man! The Navy Seals, the Spetnazs, the SAS, they all must be jealous right now!" said Boomer
"We're here right now kicking some serious ass while those 'special forces' are stuck fighting dirty wars!" said Beecher
The team makes it out of the forest without a scratch. Finally, the team could feel the breezy air flowing through their bodies. The warmth of spring rejuvenated their spirits. They see the town for what it is. Several houses built with hay and other non-modern materials.
However, what suprise the team the most... Was that an entire army of ponies meeting them outside the forest.
"I am Princess Celestia! State your reason for disturbing my ponies!"
