Not many russians were able to get out of Russia before it fell.” Jack said looking out of the side of the halftrack they were in. “Intelligence said the defensive line is called the siegfried line and the Germans have been upgrading the bunkers along it.” A old veteran with a long scar up his hand said. They talked as the halftrack drove along. By the time the halftrack got to the staging area it was around noon and they needed to hurry if they were to still be ready for the dusk artillery attack. Jack was the first out of the halftrack. He looked around, it was clear and sunny. The area already had stuff set up which was left over from the previous attempts which had failed. Everyone got to work setting up artillery, tents, maintenance areas for tanks as more and more arrived every minute, and fox holes in case of a counter attack. By 7 o’clock there was over 4,000 men, 50 artillery pieces, and 200 tanks of different types just in this staging area, there were around ten to twelve staging areas in total. Dark clouds had moved in which would be perfect as it would hide the smoke caused by the firing of the artillery. Halftracks were moving artillery into place to speed up the process of setting up for the artillery attack. As a storm drew closer they faster they had to set up before it rains, otherwise it would be near to impossible to moving things. After some time passed they had everything set up in the mini base. Jack and most of the troops, get some shut eye to be rested for the assault. The storm had also reached the base making the ground muddy, and the occasional lightning strike made some of the men jumpy. When morning came it was still raining. As the allied troops prepared for the assault, the sound of artillery firing filled the air. “Come on men it is time to move out. Infantry and halftracks stay behind the tanks.” Jack said to the troop as they do as he said and tanks line up with the halftracks and infantry behind them. “Ok our Super Pershings will be up front, with the M4 Crocodile Sherman following, and the flanks will be defended by Easy 8s, along with other tanks.” Jack commanded using a loudspeaker. “Hey maybe if you yell louder the Germans will hear you!” A soldier who was loading up into a halftrack yelled. Jack laughed at the comment. He was cut short however as someone yelled out, “WHAT THE HELL!” Jack turned just in time to see a large purple mist rolling towards them. The first who were engulfed, instantly dropped. Jack turned to run like most of the men but soon fell victim. He tried to hold his breath but his vision went black and his body went numb. A few unlucky P-51 mustangs that were flying low were also engulfed by the purple mist and fell from the sky crashing into the ground. When the mist passed all the allied vehicles were gone. -------------------------------------------------------------(In equestra, some were near ponyville.) A purple mist cover a large open area near ponyville in the Everfree Forest. Unicorns for hundreds of miles could feel their magic weaken. The feeling lasted a hour, drawing the attention of the royal guard. The royal guard had locked down Ponyville to protect Princess Twilight. A little after the mist had disappeared a team was sent into the Everfree to find the source of the magical mist. After searching for anything they had seen some smoke in the darkening sky and followed it to a clearing where they found. Large metal boxes that were painted green and had white stars on the sides of them. There were also weird bipedal creatures with no coat or tails in them and around them. This surprised the team that was sent to search the everfree and they quickly sent two ponies to report back the commanding officer in Ponyville. ------------------------------------------------------------- Jack was trying to figure out where they were, and how they got there. He also had to organize the troops that were here and wake up 4 P-51 mustang pilots that were lying next to their planes. Jack was barking orders to his soldiers to set up a base and make a perimeter around the clearing they were in. As jack did that a medic reported to him saying the 4 pilots woke up and were ok. “damn where are we anyways, nothing here looks like germany.” Jack said smoking a sagr. Jack seen movement in some bushes with color in them that doesn’t belong. “I need some men to go scout out in that direction.” Jack said pointing to the bush he saw the movement. A Pershing and 10 men headed over scout out the area jack pointed to. ------------------------------------------------------------ Some creatures were moving towards the guards and wanting to avoid convection them fell back into the forest then headed back to Ponyville. Celestia was sitting at a large meeting table in Twilight's castle talking with her former student about the event that had just transpired. “Maybe they are peaceful and mean no harm.” Twilight said. Celestia responded with, “Yes but we have no information about them and there is a group of them in the old castle. Both groups have different flags and I worry they are going to fight and they have guns that seem to be way more advanced than what we have.” “Celestia then you go to the ones in the forest and me and my friends will go to the ones in the castle.” Twilight said with a smile. Celestia sighed and put her hand on the table and said, “I guess we can do that just don't get hurt please.” Twilight nodded then walked out of the room and a guard came in, “Did it go ok?” The guard said. “Ya it did. Go get Five of your best and meet me by the edge of the Everfree. We are going to meet these creatures.” Celestia said and the guard nodded and rushed off. Questions swam through Celestia’s head like, are they truly friendly, who and what are they and where did they come from all things she was determined to find out when they met. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Germans were confused about what happened but quickly set up defensive positions in and around a old castle. When a scout said he spotted American force's. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Persian tank and the ten infantry came out of the forces right in front of a white colored regal looking person. The Persian tank driver immediately stopped the tank before it hit the person the tank stopped mere inches from the person. > chapter 1 A New World > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The recon team was surprised by the person that stood in front of them. The person stood their ground showing no sign of fear. The person had a pony's head and was covered head to toe with white fur and their hair was rainbow and flowed like it was in softly moving water, they had a unicorn horn and wings. The Infantry up front point their guns at it. The tank commander opens the to hatch of the tank and sticks his head and body out “state your identity.” he says Celestia although surprised by the creatures but she kept her composure. She identified herself as requested, “I am Princess Celestia leader of Equestria and I require an explanation on what you are doing?” The tank commander dropped back in the tank and tells the radio operator to radio base and gets orders to bring them to the base. Then he climbs up out of the hatch “Ma'am we were sent to recon the area around are base. Also my commander wants us to bring you to the base, just follow us and we will take you there.” he said as the tank turns around in place it's engine roaring. Celestia was unsure about this but decided to follow the creatures. As they walked she noticed that more of the creatures came from inside of tents and from behind more of the large metal boxes, and of them staring at her. However this gave her a chance to see the size of the force that was here in case things went south. The large metal box stopped in front of a large tent with multiple creatures standing around it with weird objects in their hands. The tank crew jumped out of the perishing and line up next to it when the commander came by “Officer on deck.” they said and the United States soldiers saluted. “At ease.” Jack said and the soldiers went back to what they were tasked with and the tank crew help the mechanics check on their tank. “I presume you are Celestia.” Jack said looking at Celestia then slightly bowed in respect. Celestia was at first surprised but quickly bowed back and said, “News must travel fast never the less I'm guessing you are in charge of these people?” “Yes news does travel fast do to the technology my people have, and yes I am incharge of them.” Jack said smiling happily at Celestia Celestia was now interested in what he meant by technology but kept her head on why she was here and that was to find out who they were and why they were here. “Well being you are on my land I feel you owe me some answers as to who you all are and what you are doing here.” Celestia said “Well we are humans, are home country is the United States of America. As for your second question, we are still trying to figure out why we are here.” he said politely. Celestia was trying to think, she heard of humans before but she couldn't think where and judging by the fact that many of the men standing around seemed to be confused by her she decided to believe him. “Well then if you are telling the truth then I have an offer for you.” Celestia said. Jack was pleased that things were going good, but was originally confused at first “Oh and what kind of offer do you want to make?” Jack asked, princess celestia “Well both know little of each other's people so I would like to invite you to my capital and see if we can work out an alliance and find you and your people a permanent home as this forest we are in can get a little out of control and you are clearly displaced.” Celestia said hopping to learn more about who these people were and she hopped Twilight was having the same success. He nods “Thank you princess, I gladly accept your invitation. It will also be nice for my men to have a place to stay.” Jack said smiling to celestia “Good if you will follow me, we will go to Ponyville and then Canterlot. If you want you can bring some of your men as a guard I don't mind.” Celestia said almost letting her excitement show. “Thank you ma'am. Ok I want some ranger to come with us!” Jack yield and 12 rangers come running over, along with a halftrack. “and the tank crew that was part of recon.” jack added and the tank crew nodded and jumped into their tank. “They can come to Ponyville but only the men can come to Canterlot as we simply do not have the means to transport such big equipment.” Celestia said eyeing the ‘tank’ as it seemed to be called. Jacks nodded “That is fine, buy do you have trains, and flatbed cars for train?” he said and opens the back door to the halftrack “get in we will drive there, it is much faster than walking.” he said smiling waiting for her to go on first. Celestia stepped in and found a seat then told them where to go and the metal box started moving. “When we get close you should let me out so I can go ahead and make sure everyone knows you are coming.” Celestia said. “yes ma’am that would be the most wise.” he said as the rangers keep a close eye on the forest around them, and the perishing tank drives in front of them. It wasn't long before Celestia told them to stop and she got out and made her way to Ponyville. As she cleared the forest and got closer to Ponyville she noticed Twilight with three weird looking people next to her. “Celestia did everything go ok?” Twilight said turning to her with a smile. “Twilight it went fine in fact.” Celestia was cut off by a deep voice. “The Americans are coming.” The voice said. Celestia turned to see a tall man with scars on his face was looking at her, “Twilight who is this.” Celestia asked. Before Twilight could answer the tall man spoke first, “Field Marshall Alexander Stutterheim and these are my two guards. I understand you are bringing the Americans so I suggest you tell them that we the Germans do not care to continue to fight.” Although confused Celestia agreed then made sure the guards posted around Ponyville knew they were coming. She walked into the forest and quickly met the Americans. “Jack they know we are coming but this man said to tell you the Germans do not want to continue fighting.” Celestia said to Jack. “ok tell him to come here to have his forces surrender. This isn't uncommon,german forces have been surrendering for a few years.” he said and the American troops stand down. “Ok but after this I want to know what is going on.” Celestia said before heading back to Ponyville. Celestia made it half way from the forest to Ponyville when she was stopped by Alexander. “I assume they want me to surrender my forces as they always do.” Alexander said. “Um ya how did you know?” Celestia asked confused. “I didn't but that's what they request and for good reason. However I am not willing to surrender my forces but I will talk to them. Please show me to them.” Alexander said pulling a strange device out from under his trench coat and dropped it on the ground along with a knife. Jack was waiting for the german leader to arrive,he had the rangers act as guards just increase the germans try anything. “I am tired of all the fighting, I need a break.” he said looking up at the trees around him. The bushes rustled as a tall person wearing a black trench coat walked out with Celestia following. “You must be the one in command of the US forces. I am Field Marshall Alexander Stutterheim.” Alexander said looking at Jack. “nice to meet you, my name is general Jack. Let's make this meeting short shall we.” jack said standing up straight, and looking straight into Alexander stutterheim eyes. “Yes. I have a request and that is simply a cease fire.” Alexander said with no hint of backing down in his deep voice. “agreed, I am sick and tired of the war, and looks like both are forces are stuck here. So truse.” jack said holding his hand out. Alexander simply grabbed Jack's hand and firmly shuck it. “Good to know we share the feeling however I think now we should learn about our new home. Celestia are we still going to Canterlot?” Alexander said. Celestia happy that whatever that was about was over said, “Why of course, let's get on the move.” Celestia was taken aback by the lack of emotion and soul in Alexander's eyes and voice almost as if he was a creature from hell yet he carried himself with pride. Jack on the other hand had a gentle feeling about him and seemed to feed off of those around him. Jack nods “but one more thing Alexander,  you and your troops will have to pay for you crimes against humanity. It will be a fair trial.” jack said as he put a hand on Alexander's shoulder. Without turning Alexander said, “I have had nothing to do with the rounding up of Jews and neither has any of my men and you're army with their bombers are no better.” “my troops are only infantry and armor, and some fighter pilot. They never bombed anyone, that was the bomber squadrons to avenge London, and to weaken Germany.” he said keeping a straight face and remove his hand from Alexander shoulder. “Then it seems we have no reason for a trial, however if I find out any of my men willing took part in rounding up anyone then they have to answer to me.” Alexander said before walking into the forest to follow Celestia who had gone ahead. Jack also started to catch up to celestia. But stayed a little behind celestia. Since Jack couldn't stop looking at celestia big butt. Celestia cleared the forest with Alexander next to her and Jack in tow as a person holding a weird device in his hands and was fully covered in heavy clothing with plates of metal attached. “Sir you're gun and knife.” He said his voice muffled by the mask he was wearing as he hand Alexander the device he dropped earlier and the knife he dropped. “Thank. Any report on how shoring up the castle has been going?” Alexander asked as some of the Americans came out of the forest and wouldn't take their eyes of the soldier. “No word. Want me to make a call to them?” The soldier asked. “No I need you two with me, understand?” Alexander said and the soldier nodded. Jack looks around at the town ahead “princess celestia should you go warn them before we go?” jack asked with a raised brow. “They know I told Twilight before coming to meet you.” Alexander said. “good let's get moving.” jack said and the American pershing tank and halftrack drive out of the forest line. Celestia guided them to the train station they would board at. The train wasn't going to be there for a bit so they had some time to kill. The tank crew parked there tank next to the train station and hopped out “sir permission to walk around town sir.” the tank commander said “granted.” jack said letting them go and explore Alexander sat at one of the picnic tables and said, “General why don't you come sit and we'll talk?” Jack walks over to the picnic table and sits across from alexander “what do you want to talk about?” jack asked. “What did you do before you joined the military?” Alexander asked. “well I was a carpenter, I liked to build stuff with wood. What did you do before the war?” jack asked. “I was in the military sense I could use a rifle. My first taste of combat was in the Great War, I even fought alongside Hitler.” Alexander looking at his hands. Jack looks down feeling sorry for the things Alexander had to go through during the war. A large train pulled into the station, it was adorn with gold trim showing the importance of it. Celestia got up and walked over to it as a door opened and two guards wearing golden armor stepped out and stood on each side of the door. Celestia smiled and said, “Train is here feel free to sit where you want.” before she walked in and sat down. Alexander stood up and walked with his guards onto the train and sat in a seat with his guards across the walkway from him. Jack also stands up and walks into the train with his rangers. “well let's get going.” jack said and celestia two guards walk in also, as the train starts to leave. > Quick update > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- sorry if you all want me to update this book more often. But me and my co writer are busy. also i will probable be unable to write in a few weeks do to finals. So i hope you all enjoy my story. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack was sitting on one of the seats on the train, he was right across from Celestia. “so Celestia why are we going to Canterlot for?” Jack asked Celestia, as he looks at her. Celestia looked and Jack and responded with, “Its Equestria’s capital and I want the input of some of my advisers along with my sister Luna.” Alexander chimed in, “Advisers? Aren't you a princess?” Celestia smiled and said, “I chose advisers to help me see a problem from multiple angles, so I can choose best for my subjects.” Alexander seemed to be content with her answer. “Much like the United Utates how it is a democracy, the president has people help his see things from different angles on something to help him make the best choice from the country.” Jack said nodding. Celestia chuckled and said, “However sometimes I must rely on my 1000 years of experience ruling Equestria.” Jack double takes and looks at her “but you look like your in your twenties.” he said Celestia smiled and said, “Thank you. Alicorns age extremely slow compared to normal ponies, so both me and my sister are actually very old for how we look and living so long ponies started seeing us as gods.” “Anyone would see you as god if they knew you age extremely slowly.” Jack said smiling warmly at her. “Yes and one perk is I get to see my kingdom grow and evolve.” Celestia said. “That would be interesting to watch a country change over hundreds of generations.” Alexander chimed in. “Yes it would be interesting to see a country to grow over time.” Jack said smiling softly. “But of all the things I've seen I have never seen these devices you carry and ride on.” Celestia said. “These are weapons of war to kill. The sad thing about humanity is that we always have war against each other, and that made us make better defense, and that forces better weapons. These are not even the most powerful, we have been able to make a weapon that can level entire cities and render the area around it uninhabitable and dangerous for life.” Jack said looking down sadly “But if you ask me and the germans here, we are tired of fighting and want to be left alone, but we will fight if we have to.” Jack said and laughs non enthusiast. Celestia asked, “You do not have this weapon here do you?” “No we don't we really don't want to use it, but we use it twice on the Japanese, the cities of hiroshima and nagasaki…..over a million dead in total over a 6 month period. ” Jack said and crys a little. One of Alexander’s guards walked over to him and handed him a radio headset. He put the headset on and said, “Yes? WHAT? HOW? SO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU LOST A FUCKING TANK AN E75 AT THAT! A TANK DOESN'T JUST DISAPPEAR! Listen you figure out what happened and from now on I want someone in the tanks at all times.” Alexander handed the headset back to his guard and said, “I don't want to talk to them about less they find it.” The guard nodded and went back to his original spot as Alexander sighed. “It had to be a fucking E75. Give me a radio.” jack said and one of the u.s rangers come over to him with a radio, and jack then call his troops “I want all troops on alert, something stoll a german E75. Also have AT guns set up in strategic positions, and support are German allies.” he said and hangs up, and the soldier goes back to his seat. “Celestia you wouldn't happen to have an air base, and know what oil is?” Jack asked looks at celestia. “Hold on a second what is a E75?” Celestia asked. Alexander sighed and said, “An E75 is a super heavy tank that is equipped with a 128mm gun. It's unbelievable deadly.” Celestia said, “We will have to find it before it is copied or used.” Alexander nodded then she turned to Jack and said, “In terms of airbase we do not have one however we have a landing strip for Pegasus and we do indeed know of oil but we use very little.” “How longs is the landing stripe and is there any oil up at that landing strip, and the reason about oil is because all are vehicles run on it.” jack said hoping that there is oil at the landing strip. “No there isn't any oil at the landing strip that would have to be brought in from the refineries and in their current state they likely can't put out enough to run all your vehicles and as for the landing strip’s size, I can't say off the top of my head we can go over the use of Equestrian bases and installations at the meeting.” Celestia said. Alexander chimed in again, “Well we need gasoline which is made with oil.” “yes and lucky for you we can help with shipping and refining. And we can talk over this more when we get to the castle.” jack said and looks out a window, and sees in the distance a b-29 superfortress being chased by two WF-190’s. “oh shipping isn't a problem.” Celestia said. “ummm we have a problem. B-29 superfortress being chased by WF-190!” Jack said and the bomber and fighters fly right one them and the sounds of 30mm and 12.7mm guns firing fill the air. Alexander yell to one of his guards, “Radio base and tell them to contact every German aircraft and get them to hold fire on everything.” The guard nodded and grabbed the headset off his back pack. One of the B-29 superfortress engines caught fire and leaving a black smoke trail “princess how far is that landing strip from here.” jack said. Celestia by her hand on her chin thinking before saying, “100 miles or so.” “ok thank you.” he said and grabs the radio from one of his soldier and try’s to get in contact with the B-29. Jack then gets through to the bomber “B-29 bomber there is a landing strip about 100 miles in the way you're going.” jack said to the bomber crew. Celestia watching out the window said, “My sister in Canterlot can probably see that.” “yeah, but let's hope the crew can get to the landing strip.” jack said looking at the bomber that just lost power to one of its four engines. “We should be arriving in 15 minutes so we can see if they made it when we get to Canterlot.” Celestia said. “ok I just hope they get back alive.” jack said watching the bomber fly to the landing strip. Celestia looked at him and said, “Don't worry those who work there are trained to save those in danger from all sorts of disasters.” “find that hard, we have trouble saving crew from plane crashes. Because oil doesn't stop burning till it is gone. Also just hope there isn't any bombs on board, that bomber can carry over 10 tons of bombs, or a atom bomb.” jack said Celestia’s face turned somber as she said, “Bombs would be a problem but as for fire, we use a spell to nullify the effect of fire for some time allowing responders to get ponies out.” “Ok…. Let's talk about something else. “ jack said and looks back at celestia. “Like what?” Celestia asked. “I don't know what do you want to talk about.” jack said looking at celestia. Celestia thought for a moment then said with a smile, “What do you think about castles? Because we should be pulling into Canterlot station.” “for us the old castle of are world are over 200 years old and are not useful anymore, are weapons punch through the old castle like a hot knife through butter. But they are beautiful in design and architecture.” jack said Alexander said, “This one isn't run down like the one my forces are staying is it?” Celestia laughed and said, “Oh no it's not although I enjoyed that old castle, this one is quite a sight to see. I'm sure you will be amazed.” as the train slowed up. “I hope it will amaze me.” jack laughs a little also. “maybe we can help make your army stronger and transportation better. I am sure you will be amazed at the things humans have made.” jack said smiling. Celestia looked at Jack and said, “There is no need for my army to be improved but I am interested in new transportation.” “we can help improve trains, and give you cars, trucks, and planes other things” jack said smiling happily. Celestia smiled and said, “I can't wait to hear about it at the meeting.” “yes and hopefully you have something to share with us. I sense you use magic, which doesn't exist in our world, but only in story's.” jack said happily “hey Alexander why aren't you talking much?” jack asked. Alexander looked at Jack and said, “I never was a talker less needed. I simply watch tell something needs to be said.” “oh I thought you would want to say anything about the meeting we are having soon.” jack said frowning Celestia smiled and said, “Sometimes being discrete is the smartest route and as for our magic only those of us with horns can use it.” She then pointed to her horn. “well I know that since unicorns were myth in our world along with Pegasus. But you are both at the same time.” Jack said smiling “Well yes that's what it means to be a alicorn.” Celestia said. “oh ok that makes sense.” jack said smiling and looks out the window. “princess why don't you want to improve your military. From my view it looks weak, but that is my opinion.” jack added. Celestia smiled and said, “We are already the strongest and biggest military and if we started to improve it in peace time then it may upset other countries.” “wow then I fear the other nations militaries are not even qualified. But you're not the most powerful army, my troop and the germans combined are a force to be reckoned with.” jack said “Celestia although I don't fully agree with Jack you must understand that a super tank has gone missing and your forces could only scratch it. Your forces at least need anti tank equipment. Not to mention if who or what ever took it finds a way of reverse engineer it.” Alexander said. Celestia thought for a moment as the train stopped. “This is off the record and not official but what do you recommend?” Celestia asked. Alexander answered, “PanzerFaust would be best as it is recoilless well still being able to punch through a lot of armor.” Celestia stood up and said, “Do you have one to demonstrate with?” Alexander stood and said, “Yes we do, we can talk more about it at the meeting.” some of my rangers are equipped with bazooka’s, we can talk more about it later at the meeting.” jack said and stands up also. “shale we leave now.” jack said pointing to the door. Celestia nodded and said, “This way.” and walked out. Alexander and his guards followed. Jack also follows with his rangers guarding him. “so who else will be at this meeting.” jack asked celestia “Well my sister, my advisers, the head of the guard and obviously guards.” Celestia answered. “so no diplomats from other countries?” jack asked as they walk to the castle. “Nope right now you are Equestria’s problem so to speak. So for now no.” Celestia responded. “ok seems reasonable enough.” he said looking up at her and smiles. “If need be you both will get to meet other leaders at a later date. Speaking of which you are your forces should get familiarized with this world.” Said Celestia. “I hope they are right now, but some are staying alert since one of the tanks went missing.” jack said as he keeps walking. > Chapter 3 Start of The Human-Changeling war > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location ponyville, the American and german soldiers were either in defensive positions or spending time in the town. The soldiers were able to make a temporary runway for there two p-51 mustangs, so they could take off. The local residents were amazedaed at the two aircraft that stood still on the side of the runway.there was a cyan Pegasus that had rainbow hair was the one most amazed at the aircraft. Rainbow Dash looked and the two winged machines, butterflies in her stomach just waiting to see them in action. She just hoped they were as cool as they looked. They both were a shiny silver over most of their body but that was tell you got to their noise where they differed, one had a green noise with ‘Daddy's Girl’ written on it and the second one had a yellow noise with ‘Licked’ written on it. She smiled standing in front of everyone, she never had wanted a race so badly. The two pilots were next to their aircraft fixing them up slightly, tuning them and making sure it is ready for combat. “hey that blue one with the rainbow mane looks like she wants a closer look at the craft.” one of the pilots said to the other. “yeah looks like she even wants to race.. let's let her come over.” the other pilot said smirk at his wingman. Rainbow Dash was almost bursting with excitement as she walked up to the machines. They were so sleek although she wasn't sure how they flied when the wings didn't look like they could bend but what really confused her was the weird blades on the front of the machines. One of the pilots saw this and waved her over to come closer. “what's your name cutie.” the pilot of the p-51 mustang that had the green color nose. “my name is tom ride.” Rainbow Dash responded, “Rainbow Dash. Um how are these things spouse to fly the wings are fixed in place.” “nice to meet you rainbow, oh and it flys by a v12 engine spinning the propeller fast enough to pull it along, it allows the p-51d to archive 437 miles per hour.” tom ride said to her. “437 miles per hour I bet I could go faster.” Rainbow Dash said spreading her wings. “no living thing can go faster then a p-51d mustang, so I accept your challenge.” tom said and got in his aircraft and started up the engine and it sounded beautiful as always. The propellers start to spin slowly at first but then spin faster and faster. Rainbow Dash smiled and yelled, “We will have to see about that.” and started to beat her wings till she got off the ground and hovered there. The p-51 start to roll forward at first but started to pick up speed as it went along the runway, till it had enough speed get off the ground and take off. Rainbow Dash followed suit and easily kept up. The p-51 started to climb higher and retracted its landing gears. Once it reached 6000 feet he leveled out his plane was going 340 mph and slowly increasing speed. Rainbow Dash kept following finding out she couldn't be right behind it. Tom looks back and see’s her behind him so he pushes the engine to max power which causes miniatures flames to come out the exhaust pipes. then the p-51D final reach max speed. Rainbow Dash found it easy to push herself to going faster as she was not going to lose to someone with no wings flying in some weird machine. Tom sees this and then pushes the plane to climb higher to where the oxygen was too thin to breath. He then puts on a oxygen mask so he can breath properly. Rainbow Dash followed tell she was forced to level out and follow from below. He smirks then goes Into a dive to increase to max speed and beyond. Which he flys by rainbow dash and knocks her off course. Which was do to the wind speed suddenly changing because of it. Rainbow Dash regained her balance before giving chase. Tom vision starts to blacken and he pulls up to leave out so he doesn't go unconscious. But his engine cut out and shut down. Rainbow Dash stopped as the spinning thing on the front of the machine stopped. The plane started to glide on the energy it had left “come on come on just need to land.” he said to himself. Rainbow Dash not knowing what to do gave chase. Once she caught up to the machine she started banging on the glass. He looks at her then looks forward again as he lowers the landing gears “why does this have to happen to me.” he said Rainbow Dash stopped banging on the glass and just hovered there confused by the fact that Tom didn't look worried. His plane's wheels tuch down on the dirt runways and he slowly comes to a stop. He turns off the plane and opens the hatch. He steps out of the plane and takes his helmet off. His plane's engine was smoking. Rainbow Dash landed with a thump and asked “What happened?” “Engine failure happens sometimes with it.” he said frowning as he looked at the plane. “Engine? What is tha.” Rainbow Dash was cut off by a loud roar as a weird almost triangle shaped object zipped across the sky. “Ah what was that?” Rainbow Dash asked watching the sky. He looks up and see’s that it was a experimental german jet, it was the horten ho 229. runs over to a german radio operator. “broadcast to all german air units and craft to not shot we are at peace.” he said. The German laughed and responded with, “They know that. They're just responding to a escort request made by a Bv 238 that is a little confused to say the least.” Rainbow Dash walked over and asked, “So it's a jet? And that is?” The German answered with, “Well in short it's like his plane” pointing at Tom “But a hell of a lot faster and that particular one is a lot more agile.” “Ok my question is where is the bv 238 going to land. The runway isn't big enough.” tom said looking at the german. The German laughed again and said, “Silly American it doesn't have landing gear, their escorting it to the coast.” Just then someone with a hand siren set it off yelling “swarm of something incoming.” Large booms can be heard as the long range flak guns fired at the swarm. Rainbow Dash quickly flew above the treetops only to find a black mass of changelings heading their way. She dove down to Tom and said, “Their Changelings.” “Hey mis if you plan on flying don't fly over the castle in the forest in less you have a death wish.” The German said. “Yeah there lighting it up with flak rounds thous will shred anything caught in the blast.” tom said as he listens to the sound of the guns firing. Soon the medium and small flak guns join in as the swarm of changelings are in range. Rainbow Dash responded with, “Ok so what's the plan?” “Well we don't do much till the threat is dealt with.” he said looking out the window. Rainbow Dash walked towards the door and said, “If you don't want to fight fine, but I do.” The German stopped her and said, “Mis you should know their are weapons out there shooting into the sky that can basically vaporize his plane.” The german said pointing at Tom. “He is right so far the us air force has massive casualties to the German flak guns. The guns can rip apart b-17 flying fortresses, reduced fighter planes to a pile of scrap.” He said with a terrified look in his eye. “It is a miracle that I am still alive…..” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and said, “Fine.” “don't shrug it off the hundreds of thousands of air men who died in the name of democracy. They died to protect the free world from the evil clutches of the Nazis.” he said as he pulls out a photo of 12 people, one of them was him there was also a b-17 and two p-51D mustang’s. He looks at the photo and a tier goes down his face from his eye. Rainbow Dash looked confused but before she could ask anything, the German sighed and said “Don't worry about it, let's just say our two people have an interesting past.” “Yeah.” Tom said and puts the photo away. Just then a distant rumbling was heard. It didn't sound like the flak guns firing though. “Something is coming.” he looks out the window and at the tree line comes a E-75. “raise the alarm it is a E-75!” he shouted out to the german that is in the room. “A E-75? I have no word of one being dispatched, in less it's the one we loss.” The German stopped and ran to the window. The tank didn't look right, it was lacking the muzzle break and gun mantelit. He turned and said, “That isn't the one we lost, someone made one. The closest tank we have is at base and in a forest that thick that thing with have done a lot of damage. What about you guys, you have anything?” “hmm the closets units we got are some AT troops, some Sherman's, and a flamethrower trooper. “ he said thinking on how they would fair. “wait there is a at gun out back we can use.” he said The German smiled and said “or I give our winged friend here a PanzerFaust and ahe shoots it down into the turret roof. What do you think?” “it could work but that tank has a thick hull.” he said looking down “let's do it got any smoke grenades.” he asked looking at the german. “Hey mis cocky you want to do something.” The German said to Rainbow Dash. She turned and stared at him, “What?” The German opened a crate and took out a long cylinder with a weird ball on the end and handed it to Rainbow Dash and said, “Listen carefully I need you to fly out above that tank and take this, point this end,” he pointed to the ball, “at the top of it and pull the trigger and make sure your right above it.” Rainbow Dash nodded and ran out the building and took off. She made for the approaching tank and stopped above it, she aim the ball and pulled the trigger a moment later there was a hissing sound and sparks flew everywhere. Rainbow Dash noticed that the changelings were falling back however there was still one in the tank trying to escape. As the changeling crawled out of a hatch Rainbow Dash swun the cylinder still in her hands at the creature’s head and with a solid crack the changeling’s limb body toppled off the tank. Tom and the german came out of the building. “good job you took out the tank and got us a prisoner. “ he said as he pulls the changeling off the tank and ties its wings down and it's legs together. “there he won't be escaping now.” Tom said picking up the changeling. The German smile and said, “Nice job young lady.” He then looked over the tank, it had no track covers and no gun mantlet but something caught his eye. “Where are the welds?” the German questioned as ran his finger over the corner on the hull. He turned to Tom and said, “I feel we should keep that thing safe tell our commanders get back.” “yeah I will have some on thank this bug to a prison or something. Also get the engineers to move this take and study it.” tom said as he looks the tank over, it's treads where just made of metal with no rubber. “how in the hell does this thing move with out it's tracks breaking every few miles.” he said and the goes and takes the changeling to some soldiers and the take ‘it’ to a cell at the local prison. > Chapter 4 Diplomacy A New Nation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The german and american leaders where in canterlot places guards training field. Princess Celestia smiled and said, “Welcome to the training field, here we test new weapons and armor.” she turned to a white pony and said, “Put some of the heaviest armor we have on the target dummies please.” the pony nodded and walked away. “Ok set up the 50 cal.” jack said to two of his soldiers with him. Who start to set up a heavy machine gun. It was long and clunky. It was was up around 100 meters away. “this is the american bowing .50 caliber heavy machine gun. It fires 12.7 mm rounds. It is strong enough to rip through 24 mm of steel armor from 100 meters.” he said as one of the soldiers get a box magazine and attached it to the Side of the gun and pulls the belt of bullets into place. As the pony returned with two other pony each carrying armor Alexander wave one over. As the pony walked over he said, “I’d like to see the armor.” The pony nodded and handed it to him. Alexander took the armor and looked it over, it was thin only about the thickness of his finger. “And how is this your heaviest armor?” Celestia smiled sheepishly, “It isn't. This is a experimental armor and I figured this would be the best time and way to test it.” “this will be good ok everyone don't get in the line of fire of the machine gun, unless you want to be shot.” he said and hands the princess and equestrian ear muffs. “fire on my command!” jack shouted  as the machine gunner ready’s the gun. “gun is ready sir!” the gunner yield to jack. Alexander turned the chest plate over to find a gem on the inside he flicked it and when he did he felt something push his finger back. He looked up as the soldier on the 50 cal fired, the round nearly hit the armor only to come straight back at them and hitting the ground next to them. “Dam shielding but can it hold against armor piercing.” the gunner said and held down the trigger firing the armor piercing, he and incendiary rounds.  The ap was able to go through the he followed in behind the ap and the inciudary donated on the shielding. “STOP” Celestia yelled as a round hit the ground near them again. “If you keep attacking somepony may get hurt.” The gunner couldn't hear hear since she wasn't using a hand signal needed. But jack gives the signal to stop. Which the gunner ceases only for a traser to bounce off his helmet. “Listen the armor has a gem in it that will repel an object traveling at it.” Celestia said. Alexander thought for a moment then said “And it seems that, that gem needs a second or two to recharge judging by the fact that some rounds made it through.” “let's see how it does against anti tank warfare.” jack said and one of the U.S. soldiers wield a long tube takes position. The show gets ready and a soldier goes behind him and loads a rocket into the bazooka. “the is the U.S army's bazooka it launches a rocket that can pierce any tanks armor.” Jack said looking over at the princesses. Alexander responded before Celestia could, “Jack with all do respect, not only do I think it won’t work but it's also dangerous so for now let's try it at a later date and with some cover around.” Celestia then said, “And somewhere else as I don't think the guards like hole being put in the barracks walls.” “fine we can do it some other time. Pack up the weapons men.” he said to the machine gunner and a at soldier. “It would be better to demonstrate are weapons on a target that doesn’t have magic on it. But we must start are meeting to decide what happens to me and Alexander’s men.” jack said looking over at celestia and luna with a serious look in his eyes. “Yes. Please this way.” Celestia responded and started walking back into the castle. They all followed her to a room with a large table and enough chairs around it for everyone. Celestia and Luna sat down next to each other. Alexander and jack walk in with them along with two of each of their men while the rest of their men stay outside. Jack takes a seat across from celestia and Alexander sits next to jack. “so shall we begin your highnesses?” he said looking over at the princesses. “Yes but where to start. Ah let's start with this, will you and your men be willing to defend and even fight for us?” Celestia asked. “Our technology is way beyond yours. We will like to be allies where we won't have to share are technology with other nations. So we would like some territory to make are own nation.” jack said since he knows what happens when technology is introduced to a civilization with barely any “because we both now if we iturduce are technology to your and other country's it will destabilize the economy if not handled with care.” he add and waits to see it Alexander has anything to say. “Well I agree with Jack you must understand we do not mean to distance ourselves from you. If you you want I will allow a supervisor of yours to stay with my men.” Alexander said. Luna looked at her sister and said “Did they really just ask for land?” “Sister stay calm. You both realize that if we give you land any and all supplies you need will need to come from us.” she sighed “Alexander as your men are already set up in the old castle we will give that and the area around it to you and as for you Jack we can give you a large area in the everfree forest and if you want we’ll send builders to help build more permanent buildings.” Celestia said as her sister stared at her. “no need we dont need more resources you highnesses but my men have trucks full of supplies. In return we will help improve you military's training and equipment. Along with giving assistance when needed, and we and Alexander will share are territory you gave us.” Jack said smiling and extends his hand. Celestia said “We will have to see what happens before I can agree on you improving my military. But here's to a fruitful alliance.” She grabbed Jack’s hand and shuck it. He smiles and shakes her hand back. “as do I.” he said and one of there radios start getting a transmission. “This is forward AA emplacements in the everfree forest, we are under attack the changeling are attacking us.They have tanks, I repeat they have tanks!” the voice of an American shouted through the radio, in the background the none stop firing of auto-cannons and large flak guns firing at the enemy. “Interesting. They would be stupid enough to attack us in our base. Yes that is a huge mistake.” Alexander said to himself before turning to Celestia and saying, “I am heading back to the old castle, you understand a commander must be with his men right?” Celestia said, “Indeed I do. Luna would you accompany Mr Alexander back to the castle.” Luna rolled her eyes. “Oh and please Celestia inform me of any strange ships spotted at sea because if any of our ships end up here we need to make contact. Jack what about you, what are you going to do?” Alexander said. “I need to head to a port city. Before we started coming to here I came in contact with battleship iowa and a escort of Fletcher class destroyers. But I am declaring war on the changeling for this.” he said he looked angry,  he and his men just got out of a war and now got attacked by a new threat. “Alexander my men are under your command till I return. And celestia would you like to join me.” jack added smiling at the beautiful sun princess. “Very well comrade, see you soon.” Alexander said as he walked out with Luna in tow. “I will indeed join you, as I will need to know if any of your warship attacked anyone.” Celestia responded to Jack's question. “They won't fire unless fired upon, do to a old navy rule of not firing unless fired upon. And you will get to see the biggest battleships ever made by the United states.” he said said walks with celestia out of the room, and down a hallway. “I am not worried about them attacking a city what I am worried about is them attacking someone out at sea.” Celestia said. “As long as a ship doesn't pose a threat then the crew will just monitor them. I am pretty sure no one will try and challenge iowa and her escort fleet.” he said looking up at her. Celestia “I know you’re right. Well we should get to the train.” “yes and i think you are a very beautiful women.” he said smiling. Celestia chuckled and said, “You know you're not the first to say that but for once I can return the compliment well I mean you're handsome.” He also gives a chuckle “thank you celestia I can say I am the first to have the compliment returned by celestia.” he said smiling happily and blushes softly. “For now though let's worry about you're ships.” Celestia said as they exited the castle. “I agree celestia.” jack said agreeing with celestia. Even he had more important things to worry about right now. Like seeing to battleship iowa. Both celestia and jack make it to the train station and boarded celestia's private train. Then they were on there way to Manehattan. > Chapter 5 A Navy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 26th, 1948 A.D. Equestria, port of Manehattan. A mighty beast of a ship clad in steel was currently sitting a few miles from Manhattan. It was surrounded by several smaller ships that that stayed around it. All the ships had a flag with red and white stripes and blue patch with white stars on it. This was battleship Iowa and her escort destroyers. They were sailing towards the Philippines before a blinding flash lit up the horizon and they suddenly appeared off of the shore of Manehattan. The captain of the fleet was keeping a cool head as he waits for a radio message to come in from the current leader of this new land. He was shocked when Jack told him that the local population consisted of humanized ponies. This also made him curious about them, but was told not to let any onboard until he and the princess of the country were on their way to the shoreline. He was also told that the germans that here are friendly and if one fires at you to radio them. The port seemed to also be incredibly busy and when Jack asked Celestia about she responded with, “There is supposed to be a large shipment of raw materials coming in for... “ she stopped as a massive six engined plane roared overhead. It seemed to have been heading out to sea in a hurry. “dame a brume en vos heavy bomber seaplane. They are a very rare sight to see.” jack said watching it fly off to the ocean. 30 Kilometers out to sea. Walter Werner stared out the window of Das GroBe Deutschland’s bridge, watching the cargo ships that he was now accompanying waiting for the BV 238 to land transport a special weapon inland to be secured. “Sir, we received a message from U-903.” Walter turned to see a young sailor holding a piece of paper. “Well? Read it.” Walter said. The sailor gulped then began, “Contact Report from U-903. We are in the unknown port currently hidden. There is a Iowa class battleship and four unknown destroyers. That's it sir.” The whole bridge was silent. “Well then it looks like our new friends has already docked, however we will likely not be able to dock.” Walter announced to everyone on the bridge. “SIR THE WATCH CREW SPOTTED THE BV!” Came from the ship’s local radio. “Good, I want everyone to be ready to hand off the device to the flight crew.” Walter commanded the sailor in front of him. As the sailor rushed off the bridge he turned back to the windows and looked out. They were being escorted by two destroyers Z60 and Z70 both of which were Type 1945 class destroyers. All he did was stare out the window as they loaded the device on to the plane. Once done the plane made its takeoff and it was by this time that they were coming into sight of the port. “Well everyone we are in sight of the port.” Walter said before turning to his men then saying “Let's see what the Americans think of our H44.” One of the Iowa’s spotter planes was flying lazily in the sky waiting for a glimpse of the german ship. As a little time passed he saw a giant battleship larger in size to Iowa and two type 1945 destroyers. He switched on his radio “this is spotty plane one I have spotted 2 german destroyers and one unknown toe of battleship that is larger in size then iowa.” the pilot said into the radio. Walter commanded Das GroBe Deutschland’s escorts to move ahead of her to find the depth of the port well Das GroBe Deutschland at the mouth of the harber. Das GroBe Deutschland dorfes the cargo ships sailing past it. Walter walked out onto the starboard bridge wing and looked into the port. The captain of the battleship iowa smiles and commands a short burst to the ships fog horn. When the fog horn sounds it roared with power and flooded out any sound and can be heard all over the city of Manehattan and the german ships also hear it. The massive German ship let out a long belo in response from its own fog horn. Z60 pulled up alongside Das GroBe Deutschland, and the crew gets ready for Walter to come aboard, within ten minutes Walter was onboard Z60 and they were headed for the dock that the US ships were docked at. Walter gave a contisincy order should things not go the way he wanted them to. The german destroys and american destroyers had there guns trained at each other if thing went south they would open fire. Iowa had her rear turret trained up to show they won't fire and aren't aiming at them. Jack was onboard Iowa as he waits for the german destroyer to dock and its captain come aboard. Once docked Walter walked on to the dock and looked around, he quickly started to regret coming ashore alone but he don't want to risk more lives of his men then needed. He felt his holster inside was a flare gun, all he needed to do was shoot it off and every ship in the port would be sunk however he hoped that wouldn't be necessary. He stood on the dock looking the American battleship over. Iowa is a very large ship that is the pride of the U.S. fleet. It had the biggest guns mounted on any U.S. ship. The iowa sides were inches away from scraping the sides of its dock it is in. Jack started to walk off from the iowa with princess celestia with him. Jack then waves to the captain “Hello it’s a pleasure to meet you.” he said “Hmm interesting, a army soldier in command of a ship you Americans can be so unpredictable sometimes. Nevertheless good to see we weren't greeted with the usual. Name's Walter Werner and you two are?” Walter responded. “It's Nice to meet you Walter Werner. I am commander Jack Paterson I am in command of all u.s. forces in this new world. The person next to is princess one of the leaders of this country known as equestria.” jack said giving the naval officer a salute “you higher commanding officer is commander Alexander, he is in command of all german forces. But enough for the small talk because even though we came out of a war we have a new threat. A species known as the changeling attack the regrouping area of both german and american forces, and we are now at war with them.” jack said looking angry since a few of his men were killed in the attack. “Well first Alexander is not my commander however he did talk to me and I am willing to support the war on, what did you call them changelings?” Walter responded. “ well alexander is the highest ranking officer for the german forces so he is in command but each branch has atomany from his command.That is the name of the spices we are at war with, there are many different spices on this world.” jack said as his own response. “However do we know if any others have come to this world before us?” Walter questioned. “as of right now we don't know if any have, but let's just hope the commies show up.” jack said which celestia didn't know what ‘commies’ were. “I can tell you more about the changelings if you would like, and I would like to know what you mean by ‘commies’.” she said. “Communists. Basically one for all and all for one, but that's not how they treat it.” Walter said. “yeah they push their opposition down and stay in control were they are in control.” jack said added to the description “well celestia I must head back to my troupes. Walter I am putting you in command of iowa and her 6 fletcher class destroyers. There would be a captain of these ships but he has fallen ill.” jack said turning to leave. A siren walled from the american battleship. “distress call from a Bayern class battleship! They are being chased multiple changeling ships.” a soldier shouted over the intercom. “Walter go help that battleship now!” jack said turning to face him.
