He knocked on the office door and asked,"Herr Hitler may I come in?" A voice responded from the inside,"You may," Haupt entered the room with a nervous look on his face. Hitler's office was similar to those of an underground bunker with a small desk across from where Haupt was standing. A giant white board was placed behind where Hitler was sitting. A water cooler to his left and several chairs on either side of Haupt. "What do you want Sergeant?' asked Hitler obviously not amused. Haupt raised his left arm straight forward with his palm faced down,"Herr Hitler I have some rather unfortunate news," said Haupt. Hitler removed his glasses and looked up,"Go on I'm listening," Haupt gulped before answering,"I'm afraid we've come across some major problems that is forcing us to either create a distortion that could possibly destroy this world or destroy the current progress we've made," Hitler let out a sigh as Haupt stood in front of him waiting for his response. After what seemed to be a minute or so Hitler answered,"We can't risk to lose our progress," Haupt looked at Hitler stunned,"Then," "Yes Sergeant proceed with Project Axis," answered Hitler. "As you wish," said Haupt as he left the room. Hitler looked down at the paperwork on his desk. Project A.X.I.S he had called it. Ever since the loss from the first World War, Germany had suffered from major increase in taxes to help America and the League of Nations pay for the destruction caused by the war. But that was the past and this was the present. He had gotten elected by Paul Von Hindenburg to become leader of the German Nazi party and chancellor of the nation-state. Now he was the German Dictator and the entire country depended on him to bring the entire nation back on it's feet. In order to do that he started project A.X.I.S. aka Axis Xeno Institute Supremacy. "Those idiots can't they do anything right?" growled Hitler standing up and walking out of his office. Project A.X.I.S. was originally started by Hitler himself to create a War Machine using the powers of an inter dimensional life form in order to defeat America and her Allies thus given it the name Axis Xeno Institute Supremacy. As he walked into to the testing area one of the scientists took notice and called him over. "What is it Verschmelzen?" asked Hitler. "Herr I don't know if we can continue this experiment if this distortion corrupts our world who knows what kind of damage it'll cause," said Verschmelzen. "You fool has Haupt not told you to continue no matter what?!" screamed Hitler in fury. Verschmelzen flinched and cowered in fear. "Proceed with the experiment!" roared Hitler slamming his fist down next to him. "Ye-Yes Herr," said Verschmelzen grabbing a nearby microphone. "Legierung proceed with Project A.X.I.S.," said Verschmelzen. Another scientist on the lower level gave a thumbs up as he turned towards a nearby keypad and started typing. Next to him was a large laboratory tank containing a large humanoid figure with a visor on over it's eyes purple veins running up and down it's body with a large metallic claw as his left hand and a prosthetic hand on it's right. A blue orb was implanted in it's chest and it's lower body and legs was a set of human legs but with a peg leg on it's left. The figure didn't seem to move as it floated in the blue liquid. "So this is him?" asked Hitler. "Yes the indestructible soldier Axis," answered Verschmelzen. "He was put under several tests earlier, we managed to confirm his body to be bullet proof and the commands we imputed were those that you've asked Herr," Hitler smiled,"I can't wait to see those foolish Americans react to this masterpiece," "I understand that you are excited to proceed with this experiment, but I must ask why would you risk this world for us?" asked Verschmelzen. "I made an oath to our Nazi supporters, that I would change our race to become the most powerful nation on earth," answered Hitler. "I intend to keep my word no matter what," "And I will support you to the end Herr," said Verschmelzen. The two stared at Axis in awe for the remainder of the time. "President Roosevelt," "Ah Enigma have you learned anything new?" asked the American President. "Afraid not, but I have received word stating that German Dictator Adolf Hitler was proceeding with Project A.X.I.S.," answered Enigma. President Roosevelt scratched his chin. Ever since he had gotten news about Project A.X.I.S. from his spies, he had put not just America but France, Great Britain, and Russia on high alert for any warnings or threats but so far the Allies had heard nothing. Enigma had been a recent addition to the U.S. military but because his childhood/past was Unknown Roosevelt had planned to put him on Infantry. But since the word about Project A.X.I.S. had gotten out, Enigma had proven himself to be the most strongest soldier and was eventually raised to American General next to Dwight D. Eisenhower. "I understand, keep an eye out for Germany," said Roosevelt. Enigma saluted as he left his office. "Mr. President," Roosevelt looked up to see a World War I veteran standing there. "Jasper is something wrong?" asked Roosevelt. "Our training camp is currently low on food and was wondering when the next supply was coming in," answered Jasper. "I apologize, our sisters are doing the best they can," said Roosevelt. "How much longer can you last?" asked Roosevelt. "Not much longer," answered Jasper. "We can probably hold off for another week or so," "Well hang in there a new supply should be delivered to your camp soon," said Roosevelt. "Thank you Mr. President," said Jasper. "Anytime, now move along," said Roosevelt. Jasper saluted as he walked out of his office. Roosevelt looked down at his desk and scratched his head. "It looks like this time around we won't be enough to stop them," He clicked on a switch on his desk and spoke into it,"Evie to President's office I repeat Evie to President's office," About 5 minutes a knock was heard followed by a girl's voice. "Mr. President?" "Come in Evie," answered Roosevelt. The door opened as a girl who looked to be in her mid twenties walked in. Her blonde hair was tied back into a ponytail and her blue eyes shined in the light. She wore a black suit with black high heels and a black tie and her skin was so white it almost made her look pale. "Mr. President did you call?" asked the women. Roosevelt nodded,"Evie is the secret corridor ready?" "Yes," Evie answered. "Very well, when your ready let's head down," said Roosevelt. "I believe we're set," said Evie. "Then lead the way," said Roosevelt. Evie bowed as she walked out the door followed by Roosevelt. > Chapter 1: Neutral > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a beautiful day in Equestria. As always the sky was blue and the calm cool breeze blew through Canterlot while all the resident pony went on with their business. Meanwhile Twilight and her friends were on their way to see Princess Celestia after she called them in for a discussion on a serious topic. "It's been a while since we last saw Celestia and Luna," said Twilight excited. "But is Spike going to be alright?" asked Fluttershy. "Don't worry I'm sure he'll be fine," said Twilight confidently. "Besides Big Mac said he'll be big help," "I don't get how a small dragon like Spike can help out with work that Big Mac is doing," said Rainbow Dash. "I'm sure he'll come up with something," said Starlight. The seven chatted with each other as they made their way through Celestia's castle. Once they reached her throne room they noticed that there were more guards then usual. "Whoa what?" asked Applejack. "Um if the Princess was going to hire more guards to stand by her throne room wouldn't she let us know?" asked Rainbow. Twilight walked up to the guards as one of them saluted,"Your Majesty thank you for coming," "What's going on?" asked Twilight. "Why don't you go in and find out for yourself," said the guards as they moved out of the way. Confused Twilight opened the door and walked in with her friends following behind her. Looking around it seemed like nothing had changed except when the looked in front of them. Princess Celestia and Luna were standing with Cadence, Shining Armor, Sunburst, Thorax, and Ember behind them. Across from them was a tall figure wearing a dark green uniform and pants with black boots. It was standing on it's hind legs obviously indicating that he was a human. There were multiple strange markings pinned to his chest and arms and a small rectangle with red and white lines with a blue square and small white stars on the top left pinned to its shoulder. "Ah Princess Twilight Sparkle," Celestia called out as she turned to face her. "Princess Celestia whats going on?" asked Twilight as she and her friends ran up to her. "And who's that?" asked Pinkie Pie looking at the human. "Ah yes Twilight I would like for you to meet General Enigma," said Celestia introducing the human. Enigma turned towards Twilight and saluted,"It's an honor to meet you Princess," his black eyes seem to shine in the light. "Of course," said Twilight bowing. She turned towards Celestia with a concerned look on her face. Celestia's smile disappeared and looked towards at Enigma and nodded,"Twilight I'm afraid we have some rather unfortunate news," "What is what happened?" asked Starlight. "Well Enigma knows more than what we do but I'll tell you what we DO know," said Celestia. "However it's a lot of information to take in so we want to make sure your ready for it," said Luna with a glare. Now Twilight was starting to worry,"What happened? she asked. Celestia closed her eyes and sighed,"I hate to be the one to say anything but," she paused, Twilight and her friends gathered around ready for what they were about to hear. Celestia opened her eyes with a glare,"We're going to War," Sept. 1st 1939: 6:30 P.M. London Titus and Sylvia hopped off the train checking out their new surroundings. Their parents had sent them to London to visit their cousin and aunt and uncle while they were on vacation in Hawaii. "Wow it's so beautiful here," said Sylvia. "Now Sylvia don't go running off without me," said Titus. "Oh come on Titus I'm already 18, I can take care of myself," said Sylvia. "Yeah and I'm 19 your older brother," said Titus smiling nudging her arm. "Oh stop it Titus," giggled Sylvia punching his arm. Her hazel colored eyes shined brightly along with her smile. Her caramel colored hair flowed as a cool breeze blew past them. Seeing how excited Sylvia was, Titus could not help but chuckle. "Hey you two over here!" a voice called out to them. The two turned towards the voice. to see a young man wearing an American military uniform waving at them with a smile. "COUSIN LEVI!" Sylvia cheered running up to him giving him a hug. Levi hugged her back laughing. "Sylvia you've grown so much," said Levi. "Yeah," Sylvia replied. "And I see you've joined the army," "Yeah kind of had to, those dumb ass Germans are trying to screw with England again," said Levi. "Oh my lord again?" asked Sylvia. "So cousin still haven't changed much have you," said Titus walking up to Levi with their luggage. "Ah Titus long time no see my fine friend," said Levi hugging him. Titus grunted as he hugged back. He dusted himself off and fixed Levi's uniform once they let go,"Now come along I have to leave for camp at seven," said Levi picking up their luggage and walking into the station. Titus and Sylvia looked at each other and followed Levi in. The station in London was so much different than the ones in America. Following Levi through the station they looked around inspecting the area. "So how was boat ride?" asked Levi. "Get sea sick much?" "Nah it was great," answered Sylvia. "Glad to hear it," said Levi. As Levi had the guards check Titus and Sylvia's bags the two turned around to hear a nearby radio station starting up with the news from that day. "We're here with an update," said the reporter. "German Dictator,"Adolf Hitler and his forces marched into Poland earlier today at 12:55 P.M., many locals claimed to have been attacked by Nazi soldiers as they attempted to evacuate the city," "One local claimed to have been mercilessly beaten by a rifle's butt by a Nazi soldier after he refused to give up any valuables he possessed before the bartender at the counter saved him allowing him to escape," said the reporter. "It was terrible, it was like a living nightmare," said a woman. "People were being shot and beaten by Nazis I couldn't stand to see how horrific the scene was," said a man. "British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Charles De Gaulle of France have come together to discuss preparations for war while American President Theodore Roosevelt declares America to remain neutral," announced the reporter. "Stay tuned for future updates," the station cut off as the couple sitting near the radio groaned. "So those stupid Germans are at it again," said the man. "Didn't they learn their lesson after the first world war?" scoffed the woman. Titus and Sylvia looked at each other with worried looks on their face. "That must be what cousin Levi was talking about," said Sylvia. "I can't believe those Germans are dragging England into War again," said Titus. "Alright you two I'm ready," said Levi waving his arm at them. The two slowly got up from the bench and walked towards Levi. "Ready?" Levi asked. "Sure thing," said Sylvia forcing a smile. "Then let's go, Uncle Stan and Aunt Becca will have dinner prepared for you two," said Levi starting out the station. Titus and Sylvia looked each other and nodded. They were gonna plan to keep the news to themselves for the time being. The two followed Levi out the station and quickly forced their mind to their Aunt and Uncle while the news on the war was kept hidden in the back of their minds. > Chapter 2: Nazis Changelings and Shades > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sept. 23rd 1939 Germany Occupied Poland: 2:50 P.M. As General Haupt rode through the streets of annexed Poland, he was suddenly stopped by the changeling commander who was waving at him by the side of the road. Haupt raised his hand indicating he wanted to stop. The driver slowed down the jeep as he came up next to the Changeling commander. "What is it?" asked Haupt turning towards him. "General the Jews as you called them have been round up and are being held in the town hall," he hissed. "My Queen would like you to get there as soon as possible," "Got it thanks for the news commander," said Haupt. He bowed as Haupt flicked his wrist forward,"Go," The driver pushed the accelerator with his foot as he drove the jeep in the direction of the town hall. Sept. 23rd 1939:Poland Town Hall 3:00 P.M. Hitler walked down the corridor of the town hall with a changeling and a Nazi soldier escorting him. He came into the heart of the town hall where multiple Jews sat on the ground covered with bruises and other injuries. Several Nazi soldiers, changelings, and ponies wearing black armor stood around the group holding bats and rifles. A slightly bigger changeling with a green mane and tail with holes stood nearby. "Took you long enough Hitler," said the Changeling in a female voice. "Relax Chrysalis," said Hitler. "We just finished rounding up these stupid Jews," He walked up to the group of Jews as one of them looked up. "Hmph pathetic," spat Hitler. "Please we'll give you anything you want just let us go," begged one of the Jew. "SHUT UP YOU NASTY FIEND!" screamed Hitler as he kicked him in the face. "It's because of you we lost the first World War," He turned around and walked over to the window,"Chrysalis make sure these idiots don't try to run, I've got some business to deal with," said Hitler walking down the path he came from. "Yeah whatever," groaned Chrysalis rolling her eyes. Sept. 23rd 1939: London: 7:00 P.M. "Well here we are," said Levi as he opened the door to his house. "Wow," said Sylvia walking in with her luggage. "Sylvia is that you?" asked a man's voice. As Titus walked in, he and Sylvia looked over to see two figures poke their heads from the kitchen across the hall. One of them was man wearing a red and green checkered flannel with a beige colored pants and brown shoes. He had grey hair and a nice trimmed beard with the same color. The lady next to him was wearing a pink apron over a white dress. Her grey hair was tied back into a bun and was wearing brown shoes like the man. "Uncle Stan, Aunt Becca!" said Sylvia as she ran up and hugged the man. "Ho Sylvia good to see you, man you've grown up so fast," said Stan hugging Sylvia. "Oh and is that sweet little Titus?" asked Becca. "Long time no see Aunt Becca," said Titus walking up and hugging his Aunt. "You guys made it just in time," said Stan. "Oh yes I just finished preparing dinner for you two," said Becca. "You two must be exhausted," "We'll show you to your rooms after dinner for now just leave your luggage by the stairs," said Stan. "Great what's for dinner?" asked Sylvia. "Oh you'll love it, Barbecue Chicken with oven baked potatoes and green beans," said Sylvia. "Oh sounds delicious," said Titus. "Great you guys enjoy dinner," said Levi grabbing his hat. "Wait you're not eating cousin Levi?" asked Sylvia. "I ate dinner early because I have to leave, Roosevelt wants the Americans to volunteer to join the french in battle against the Germans," answered Levi. "Oh well good luck," said Sylvia. Levi saluted before he closed the door behind him and drove off. "Well now who's hungry?" asked Becca. Sept. 25 1939: White House: 5:30 P.M. "President Roosevelt?" Evie asked knocking on his door. "Come in," said Roosevelt. Evie opened the door to let the Celestia and the others in. Once everyone was in she closed the allowing Roosevelt to be left with the ponies, dragon, and the Changeling king. Roosevelt looked up with a serious look on his face,"Welcome," he said. "You must be President Roosevelt," said Celestia. "Franklin D. Roosevelt," answered Roosevelt. "Princess Celestia," said Celestia. "General Enigma told us a lot about you," "Is that so?" asked Roosevelt. "Well then I hope you can accept my apology for bringing you here, so far our enemy Germany hasn't been cautious of their actions," "We understand, it's not your fault," said Celestia. "We're trying our best to find a way to send you back to your world as a way to redeem Germany's actions," said Roosevelt. "Unfortunately for us with World War II going on in Europe it won't be so easy," "It's fine we know you're stressed with the War President Roosevelt," said Celestia. "So now that we got that out of the way what are we going to do now?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Well I suppose I should explain our plans for the future," said Roosevelt. Sept. 28 1939: London: 8:30 A.M. As Titus sluggishly walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where Sylvia was already ate the table eating a piece of egg while Stan messed around with the radio and Becca worked on her knitting. "Morning sleepyhead," said Becca. "Morning," yawned Titus taking his seat. "Ugh fuck this piece of crap," said Stan slamming his hand on the radio. "What are you doing Uncle Stan?" asked Titus taking a bite out of his toast. "They're supposed to give out an update on the war today but this piece of brilliant made garbage won't work," said Stan twisting the knob. "I bet it's just about those dumb ass Germans," said Sylvia. "Finally," said Stan finally getting the radio in working condition. "Welcome folks back for another update," said the reporter. "To start things off we have some news regarding Poland, Germany is currently occupying Poland and has started a new system under Hitler's commands," "Oh great what is that jack ass planning now?" asked Stan. "Hitler has ordered the execution of all Jews in the city of Poland as a way of 'punishment' as he would put it for Germany's loss in the first World War," "How terrible," said Becca. "Meanwhile Hitler and the Germans has signed a treaty with a race of insect pony hybrids that call themselves 'Changelings' as well as a race of ponies with pure black overcoat called Shades," "Changelings and Shades?" asked Titus. "I've never heard of such creatures," said Sylvia. "Meanwhile American President Roosevelt has communicated and discussed with a new species of creatures called ponies who have been rudely dropped into this world due to the effects of Germany's actions," "Damn it Germany," said Becca. "Until they could return to their world, Roosevelt and the ponies leader Princess Celestia has agreed to support each other until the end of the War," said the reporter. "I can't tell if that's good or bad," said Sylvia. "After some discussing, Roosevelt has concluded to send the ponies to the city of London for the time being," said the reporter. Titus's eyes widened as he spit out his coffee,"WHAT!?" he screamed. "Shh," said Stan shushing Titus. "While Roosevelt hates to send the ponies into war zone Europe, the ponies wished to support France and Great Britain out on the battlefield," "Roosevelt wishing America to remain Neutral agreed to their request," said the reporter. "That's all we have for you until next time," Stan cut off the radio as the station came to a close. The four looked at each other stunned. "Maybe they won't come here to our area," suggested Sylvia. "I hope not," said Stan. "I can't believe President Roosevelt would agree to do something like that," said Titus. "Well they DID ask him to go," said Becca. "Let's just hope for their safety and wish them good luck,"said Sylvia. "Well we got a big day ahead of us," said Stan. "Hey Titus Sylvia would you do Becca a favor and go down to the market to buy some things?" asked Becca. "Sure thing," said Sylvia. "Thank you two," said Becca. She pulled out a slip of paper and a basket,"Here is the list and a basket to carry the food in," Sylvia grabbed the list and basket and jumped out of her seat,"Great thanks come on Titus let's go!" said Sylvia running out the door. Titus quickly chugged down the rest of his coffee as he ran out after her. > Chapter 3: France Surrenders > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sept. 28 1939: Market: 12:00 P.M. "So Titus what does the list say we need?" asked Sylvia carrying the basket as she and Titus walked down the path through the market. "3 Apples, a bag of flour, some sugar, 10 fish, and 12 eggs," answered Titus. "Great I saw some apples on the way here, I'll go get some," said Sylvia running off. "Be careful!" Titus called out. Sylvia's wave was enough to comfort him and allow him to move his attention to the list. "HEY WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA!?" he heard someone scream. He turned to see a unicorn with a pink coat and purple mane standing there with a watermelon. "You know your supposed to pay for that," said the market's owner. "And I'm telling you to take my bits!" screamed the unicorn pushing forward several small pieces of gold. "How many times did I tell you we don't accept this!" he said throwing the gold in her face. "Now hand over your payment," spat the owner. The unicorn glared at him just as Titus stepped up,"Um excuse you me sir," The two turned towards Titus with confused looks on their faces. "Sorry kid but I'm afraid I can't take you right now, I have to deal with this thief," said the owner. "Uh yes I can see that," said Titus. He looked over to the sign next to the unicorn, it read 5 pence for a watermelon. He dug in his pockets and pulled out his wallet. He then pulled out 5 small grey coins and pushed them forward towards the owner,"5 pence for a watermelon right?" The unicorn looked at him stunned as the owner counted the money. He looked at Titus and the unicorn,"You sure about this?" he asked. "Yeah sure why not," said Titus shrugging. He owner clenched the money in his hand and looked at the unicorn,"You got lucky this time missy, but try to steal from me again and I'll have you reported," He put the coins in his pockets and walked over to the next customer. Titus turned around and started walking back. The unicorn ran over to him still holding the watermelon with her magic. "Can I help you?" asked Titus not turning to face the unicorn. "Um I just wanted to thank you for what you did," said the unicorn. "Don't sweat it, everyone these days are constantly on their bad side since Britain and France declared war on Germany," said Titus. "I'm Starlight, Starlight Glimmer," said the unicorn holding out her hoof. "Titus," he said shaking Starlight's hoof. "You're one of those ponies working with President Roosevelt right?" asked Titus. "Yeah," answered Starlight. Suddenly Sylvia came running up with her basket filled with fish eggs and apples,"Titus I got everything we need," June 22nd 1940: Paris: 4:30 P.M. Hitler, Chrysalis, Sombra, and Haupt stood and watched as French General Hugo signed the french surrender. "Dere now ve have signed ze official surrender," said Hugo slamming his pen down. Hitler smirked with excitement,"Well then I suppose we should celebrate," "Haupt bring the photographer I would like to take a picture in front of the Eiffel Tower," Haupt saluted as he ran off. "As for you General Hugo, you will be joining us whether you like it or not," laughed Hitler as he walked off with Chrysalis and Sombra following behind. "Hmph well played German Dictator," smirked Sombra. "Ha your speaking to the Great Hitler here, of course I would be victorious," laughed Hitler waving his arm. Suddenly a Nazi soldier ran up to him and saluted before he began,"Herr Great Britain knows that France surrendered and is planning to retaliate," "Scheisse!" Hitler cursed in German. "Diese verdammten idioten!" The Nazi soldier flinched and jumped back. "If they think they can retaliate against us they're making a mistake, Privatgelande go prepare the planes I have something planned for those idioten," said Hitler. The Nazi soldier saluted and ran off. "What was that all about?" asked Chrysalis. "If those British think they can surprise attack us they got another thing coming," said Hitler. "What do you have in mind?" asked Sombra. "Oh trust me after this they'll have to watch their heads," laughed Hitler walking towards the Eiffel Tower. Chrysalis and Sombra looked at each other with confused looks on their faces. The two shrugged and followed after Hitler. June 26 1940: London: 6:00 P.M. It had been several months since Starlight moved in with Titus and Sylvia and since then her presence had been treated like a family members. As the family was getting dinner ready the radio was just starting it's news update on the war. "Welcome back for another update," said the reporter. "It's been four days since France had surrendered to Germany and Great Britain continues to prepare for a retaliation attack," "Damn it Germany," hissed Stan. "France is one of America's allies right?" asked Starlight shoving a piece of pork into her mouth. "Yeah but it seems Germany is merciless as always," said Becca. "Seriously they've ruined way too many of our lives already," groaned Sylvia. "Yeah from what I hear Germany sounds powerful," said Starlight. "Well they DO have Hitler," said Titus. "I keep hearing that name, who is Hitler is he like Germany's leader?" asked Starlight. "Yeah a relentless Dictator who hunts down innocent humans called Jews and kills them without mercy," said Stan. "How horrible," said Starlight. "I heard that his own followers hate him more than anyone else," said Titus. "I wish that was true," said Becca. "Well lets hope America can beat his ass," said Sylvia. "Wait be quiet," said Stan. The five stopped talking as the reporter on the radio continued talking. "Recently British Prim Minister Winston Churchill announced drills to prepare for German bombing raids," "Are you shitting me!?" screamed Stan. "Bombing Raids?" asked Starlight. "It's when the Germans fly over London in flying objects called planes to drop dangerous explosives called bombs to attack cities and the residents living in them," answered Sylvia. "Oh my Celestia are you serious!?" screamed Starlight. "You mean they attack cities not caring whether someone gets hurt or not?" asked Starlight. Titus and Sylvia nodded. "Damn those Germans," said Starlight slamming her hooves on the table. "When are they gonna come?" asked Starlight. "That's the problem we don't know, they could come anytime on anyday," answered Titus. "So nobody knows when their gonna get attacked?" asked Starlight. "Yeah, but don't worry that's what the drills are for," said Sylvia. "The government sets up special drills so that the residents know what to do to stay safe when a bomb raid comes in," said Becca. "Well that's good to hear," said Starlight. Suddenly just as she said that an alarm went off outside their house. The group ran our after Stan to find a British soldier riding in a jeep yelling in a megaphone. "Attention citizens of London we are now going to start a bomb raid drill please find and enter a nearby bomb shelter and leave everything behind I repeat leave EVERYTHING behind!" "Oh great well it's the only way to stay safe, let's go everyone," said Stan running off to their neighbor's house. "Come on Starlight," said Sylvia as she ran off after her brother and Becca. Starlight looked up at the night sky wondering when the time for the Germans to appear. > Chapter 4: The Blitz 1940 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 10, 1940: London: 11:30 P.M. It was a quiet night in London and everyone was fast asleep in their homes. Meanwhile a lone military truck sped down the path entering the peaceful streets of London. Levi clenched his teeth constantly looking behind him for any German planes only to find blackness in the sky. Sitting next to him was his closest friend Benjamin and a familiar looking blue pegasi with a rainbow mane. Ever since the day she and her friends split up at the train station, Rainbow Dash has been keeping a close eye on the Germans until she ran into Levi at the boot camp. She learned that the Germans were nothing but reckless troublemakers causing problems for everyone. "Are we there yet Olly?" Levi asked the driver. "Almost mate, although it's too dark to see where your house is," answered Olly. "It's a good thing that those nasty Germans didn't fly over here during the day ain't that right lad?" asked Benjamin. "Yeah but if we don't hurry they'll get here before we can even dip," answered Levi. He looked up and shouted,"Stop!" Olly hit the brakes as the truck screeched to a stop. Levi jumped off the back and ran up the steps. July 10, 1940: London: 12:00 A.M. The house was filled with silence as the family slept peacefully. Titus's soft breathing was the only noise in the darkness until the sound of a truck's tire screech was heard coming from outside followed by footsteps. Sylvia had her arm wrapped around Starlight as they let nothing disturb their slumber. Aunt Becca and Uncle Stan was snoring away on their beds when the sounds of alarms awoke them. "Oh fer gods sake already?" asked Stan. "It's twelve in the morning," groaned Becca. Meanwhile in the other room Titus, Sylvia, and Starlight sat up in bed scratching their eyes, yawning, and stretching. "Not enough sleep," said Starlight groggily. "It can't be helped," said Titus. Suddenly the sound of knocking came from downstairs. "Is that the neighbors?" asked Sylvia. "The hell do they want don't they know that the alarm doesn't let anyone sleep?" asked Titus. "I'll get it," groaned Sylvia getting out of bed and walking downstairs. Both Starlight and Titus followed her downstairs with Stan and Becca following behind them. As the knocking got louder Sylvia quickened her pace,"Yes, yes I'm coming," She opened the door to find a panicked Levi standing on their porch. She squinted to make sure it was her cousin,"Levi?" "Oh thank goodness your awake," said Levi. "The hell are you doing here at this time?" asked Sylvia. "And shouldn't you be at camp?" asked Stan. "I am but forget about that don't you hear that?" said Levi. The five groaned,"You woke us up because of a drill?" asked Titus. "No don't you-" he cut his statement short,"Is that a unicorn?" asked Levi looking over at Starlight. "Unicorn?" asked Rainbow Dash poking her head out from behind the truck. Starlight squinted to get a closer look,"Rainbow Dash?" "Starlight!" screamed Rainbow jumping out and hugging her,"I missed you so much," "Yeah you too," said Starlight. "Ok this is awkward," said Titus. "Oh forget about that right now you need to hurry," said Levi. "Relax cousin it's just a drill," said Sylvia. "What no it's not!" screamed Levi. Starlight's ear twitched as she heard something from the distance,"Um what is that?" "What is what?" asked Becca. "Shh quiet," said Starlight. The group listened as they suddenly heard the sound of roaring coming from above their heads in the distance. "The hell is that?" asked Stan. Starlight's eyes widened the moment she realized what the roaring was,"Oh no it can't be," "It is!" screamed Levi. As the roaring became louder and closer multiple searchlights began to shine upwards and more alarms began to blare in the distance. More people began to walk out of their houses to see what was going on. "Look mommy!" said a boy pointing up. Everyone looked up to see multiple objects flying towards them from the distance. "Oh shit," cursed Levi. Suddenly just as one of the objects flew over them, something fell out of the bottom and began falling towards a nearby bakery several blocks down from where the group. The object disappeared and several seconds later a loud explosion was heard coming from the direction of the bakery followed by a blinding white light and a pillar of fire. "What the hell!?" someone screamed. As the objects were now in view, the people could clearly make them out to be planes. "It's the Germans, the Germans are attacking!" someone screamed. July 10 1940: Skies over London: 1:10 A.M. As the Germans set their sights on a black and peaceful London, a voice came over from the leading Heinkel He 111,"Kameraden we've now set our sight on London, engage operation Blitz," Leon, one of Germany's ace pilot quickly lowered his aircraft so that the bottom hatch was beneath the clouds just in London's view. The first bomb was dropped from the leading Heinkel which fell into a bakery sending it into flames. "Leon," a soldier called out from behind. Leon looked over and nodded. He pulled a lever opening the hatch."Bomben Weg!" announced Leon. With that the bombs began to fall. July 10 1940: London: 1:20 A.M. Crowds of people were screaming and running around frightened as the Germans continued to bomb London. Levi, Benjamin and Rainbow Dash was helping Stan and Becca onto the truck while Titus, Starlight, and Sylvia hoisted them from below. Once they were on Sylvia jumped on with the help of her brother and Starlight. Then Titus wrapped his arms around Starlight and helped her onto the truck and jumped on afterwards. "Is that everyone?" asked Benjamin. "Yes," said Becca. "But what about the others?' asked Sylvia. The group looked out to see the people screaming and running around as more bombs fell onto the city. What was once a beautiful city was now in ruins and flames. "Let them on," said Levi. Benjamin pulled out a megaphone and talked through it,"Ladies and Gentlemen we have some room to carry you to safety however those of you unable to board there will be another truck coming," As he finished a small group began to form at the end of the truck. "Titus help me out," said Levi. Titus nodded as he and Levi began pulling up the British onto the truck one by one. "How is going back there?" asked Levi. "Sorry Levi this is all the room we have," said Benjamin. "Well then let's go," said Levi. "Wait!" a woman's voice called out. Titus and Levi turned back to find a woman in her twenties running up with a baby in her arms with three kids following her. Her white dress was scorched and burned from the fire. "Please let me on," she begged. "I'm sorry miss but we don't have anymore space," said Benjamin. "Then at least take my kids and baby," she begged. "Miss we're really sorry but you're gonna have to wait for another truck," said Benjamin. "Please," she begged with tears in her eyes. "Miss-" "Let 'em on," ordered Levi interrupting Benjamin. "What!?" asked Benjamin. "Oh thank you, thank you so much," cried the woman. "Levi are you sure about this?" asked Benjamin. "If it's three kids and a baby we can squeeze them in," said Levi. Titus reached down and gently took the baby from the woman's arms,"Aunt Becca," he called out. He passed the baby into her arms as he turned towards the kids. "Now you three be good and listen to what they say," said the woman. "But we don't want to go, we want to stay with you," whined one of the kids. "Please understand you can't stay here it's not safe," said the woman. "Come you'll be safe with us," said Starlight. "See they'll protect you from the bad Germans," said the woman. She picked up the boy and lifted him where Titus pulled him on. "NO MOMMY I DON'T WANNA GO!" he screamed. "Please don't make this harder than it already is," begged the woman. "Sylvia hold onto him," said Titus. "NOOO!" screamed the boy struggling. "Shh it's gonna be ok," whispered Sylvia. Meanwhile more bombs exploded around them. The woman picked up a girl this time and handed her to Levi. "Mommy!" the girl cried. "Be good," said the woman with tears. "Starlight," Levi called out. Starlight gently took the girl with her magic as she struggled to break free. "Mommy I'm scared," sobbed the second boy. "It's gonna be alright, I promise," said the woman hugging him. "I wanna stay with you," he sobbed. "I promise we'll meet again sweetie," cried the woman. Titus took the boy as Levi pulled up the hatch and locked it into place. The kids somehow broke free from Starlight and Sylvia's grasp as they reached out. "Mommy!" they all screamed. The woman looked at them tears streaming down her face. She turned towards Levi and handed him a paper,"If there is a chance we might meet again look for this," Levi took the paper and looked, it read Annabelle Brown. Levi looked at the woman and nodded. She smiled wiping the tears from her face and stepped away from the truck. "Please take good care of my kids," she cried. "Of course Mrs. Brown," said Levi. He turned behind him and yelled,"OLLY STEP ON IT!" Olly did as he was told and stomped the accelerator. As the truck began speeding off the kids continued to cry out to their mother. "MOMMY!" cried the girl. "MAMA!!!" one of the boys sobbed. As the woman waved at them, Titus, Levi, and Starlight had to pry them away from the hatch as they sped out of London. The girl wrapped her arms around Starlight and sobbed while one of the boys hugged Sylvia and another Titus. "It's gonna be ok," whispered Starlight stroking the girl's hair. "You'll see your mommy again I promise," said Sylvia. As the truck drove farther and farther away the people could see the burning remains of the lovely city they once called home. Titus glared, those damn Germans had invaded Poland, took France, killed many innocent Jews, attacked London and it's residents, and separated three kids and a baby away from their mother. They've done enough during the first World War and now this was the last straw. Those Germans were gonna pay. > Chapter 5: Russia and the Rise of Axis > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sept. 27 1940: Berlin: 5:30 A.M. It's a quiet morning in Berlin and the Berlin Research Facility is hard at work. A lone jeep drives into the lot in front of the facility as two Nazi soldiers, a changeling, and a shade jumps out followed by two men. One of them wore a black uniform with a matching black hat. A golden eagle symbol was imprinted on the front of his hat with the same design on his shoulders. The second man looked to be Asian and was wearing a dark green war uniform with a hat similar to those of a police cap but had a red strap wrapped just above the black hilt. He wore glasses and his small black mustache almost made him look like an Asian Hitler. "So dis is Berlin," said the second man in an Asian accent. "Hmm," nodded the first man in agreement. The two were greeted by General Haupt who was waiting for them at the entrance of the facility,"Ah Mr. Benito Mussolini and Mr. Hideki Tojo welcome, Herr Hitler is waiting for you," Both Mussolini and Tojo nodded with smiles on their face. "Come let us show you what we've been working on," said Haupt leading the two dictators into the facility. Haupt looked at the two Nazi soldiers, changeling and shade and nodded. All four saluted as Haupt disappeared into the facility. "Amazing work you put in," said Mussolini looking around the facility. "Thank you, Herr Hitler really likes to keep things tidy around here," said Haupt leading the two into a conference room. Inside Hitler was sitting on a chair across from where the two was. Next to him Chrysalis and Sombra were settled down by his side smirking. Hitler spread out his arms,"Ah Tojo Mussolini you made it," "Of course, we wouldn't want to miss such an important meeting now do we?" said Mussolini his Italian accent sharp. "Yes, yes of course," said Tojo. "Well glad you could make it," said Hitler smiling shaking the two hands. "I would like you to meet your new allies Queen Chrysalis and King Sombra of Equestria," "Benito Mussolini," said Mussolini holding out his hand. "Hideki Tojo," said Tojo tipping his hat. "It's a pleasure to meet you both," cackled Chrysalis. Hitler watched as the two shook hands and hoofs finishing up their introduction. He then turned to Haupt and nodded. Haupt walked up with a piece of document in his hands and placed it in front of Hitler. "I've called you both here today to negotiate on a certain topic," said Hitler pushing forward the document. The two walked over to gaze at the document that read,"Tripartite Pact" "I was just discussing this with our new comrades about how to win this war," "Herr Hitler knew that if we tried to repeat our actions during the first World War it would only result in a failure again," said Haupt. "However I realized your nations don't seem to be doing so well so I decided that why not form an Alliance for this war," said Hitler. "Sure you two were our enemies back in World War 1 but our three nations seem to be struggling the most so I figured if we form an Alliance we could support each other until we could bring our nations back onto it's feet," said Haupt. The two nodded as they read the Pact and looked up,"Sounds like a plan," said Mussolini. "Very well then let us all sign the Pact," said Hitler pushing forward a pen. Both Tojo and Mussolini took turns signing the pact then handed the pen to Chrysalis and Sombra who signed the pact as well with Hitler finishing with Germany. "Excellent from this day forth we have agreed to support one another when we are in need of aid," announced Hitler. The four nodded in agreement. "Great now that we have officially formed an Alliance I suppose I should show you guys what we've been working on," said Hitler snapping his fingers. Haupt took out a walkie talkie and spoke into it,"Bring ihn raus," "He may not look like much but you'll soon know his true power," said Hitler. "What is it?" asked Tojo. "He is a little creation of ours that we've been working on for a while," answered Hitler. Just then the door opened as two Nazi soldiers walked in and held the door open as a half machine half humanoid creature stomped in. It's visors glowed in a deep red color as it's body glowed as purple energy could be seen running up and down his body through it's veins. Its metallic claw and prosthetic hand clamped in and out. It's metallic foot stomped the ground as mechanical whirring could be heard with every move it made. "Eureka!" said Mussolini. "What a creation!" said Tojo. "His name is A.X.I.S. the mechanical marvel," announced Hitler. "A.X.I.S. named after Project A.X.I.S. aka Axis Xeno Institute Supremacy," said Haupt. "Intriguing," said Chrysalis. "Hitler I just got an idea, why don't we name our Alliance in honor of A.X.I.S.," suggested Mussolini. "The Axis Powers?' asked Hitler. "Hmm I like it," "Then it's settled today we're known as the Axis Powers," announced Mussolini. June 22 1941: Russia: 2:45 P.M. Its been almost a year since London was bombed and now Titus was an American Soldier serving for the Soviet Union during his time in Europe. Meanwhile Sylvia was an adult now and was looking after the three kids and the baby Miss Brown had entrusted them in. Starlight who was supposedly a mare who didn't have any experience in war was trained with Titus and the British and was now hanging out in Russia with Titus and the Soviet Army. "So you American?" asked a Russian soldier next to Titus who was supposedly his tent buddy. "Yeah," said Titus. "What about unicorn?" asked the soldier. "Uh in a way yes," answered Starlight. The Russian Soldier nodded,"Me no good at English," "You know English a little bit?" asked Titus. "Yes little bit," said the Soldier. Titus nodded as he went back to polishing his rifle. "Um Titus can you hand me my box of bullets," asked Starlight. Titus plucked the orange box next to his stand and tossed it to Starlight. "Thanks," said Starlight placing it in her bag. Suddenly the tent flaps opened as another Russian soldier poked his head in. "эй, нам нужно идти," said the Soldier to his comrade. "Ok," answered Titus's buddy. The second Russian soldier left as Titus's buddy grabbed his rifle . "What he say?" asked Titus. "We go now," said his buddy running out of the tent. Titus and Starlight grabbed their rifles and put on their hats as they ran out after him. June 22 1941: Soviet Union military camp: 3:00 P.M. Titus and Starlight stood in line with the rest of Soviet Soldiers as their general was explaining the instructions. "Alright men you know the deal while squad one goes out and barricades the entrance to the city the rest of you prepare for the German's advance!" "да сэр!" responded the soldiers. With that several Russian Soldiers ran off in the direction to the city's entrance while the rest hid in stores and in alleys with their rifle loaded. "Oh sweet Celestia nothing happened and this is already scary," said Starlight. "No shit Sherlock," said Titus loading his rifle. "You scared?" asked Titus's buddy. "Yeah," answered Starlight. "Well hopefully they won't enter the city," said Titus. The three continued to hide waiting for any sign of Germans "Where the hell are they?" asked Titus. "Don't know," said Titus's buddy. The three continued to wait for another three hours but still nothing happened. "The hell?" asked Titus coming out of hiding. "Maybe they stopped the Germans," said Starlight. Suddenly the sound of a gunshot was heard nearby causing Titus to scramble back to his hiding spot. "What was that?" asked Starlight. "I don't know a German?" suggested Titus. Suddenly the sound of gunshots and screaming of soldiers erupted as a horde of Soviet soldiers started running past Titus and his group followed by multiple gunshots. "Они здесь!" screamed a Soviet Soldier as he ran past Titus and his group. "заряд!" said a nearby group of Soviets running out and charged into the hellfire. "Let's go," said Titus running out with his rifle. Starlight and the others followed Titus out and quickly hid behind random objects as they dodged the hellfire of bullets. Occasionally Titus would poke his head out and shoot at the oncoming Nazi soldiers that quickly advanced into the city. "Stay back Nazi scums!" screamed Titus shooting at three Nazi soldiers. A Soviet Soldier jumped out of hiding and began waving his hand,"хорошо, мужчины идут!" But before anyone could go out his head suddenly erupted as a barrage of bullets flew into him. His body fell back and collapsed on the ground, it's head missing and his entire body covered in bullet wounds. "дерьмо!" cursed a Soldier in Russian. Titus aimed his rifle at the Nazi soldiers and fired,"This is for my comrades you sick bastards!" For the next eight hours the fighting continued both sides viciously fighting for victory. By 9 P.M. the Nazis started falling back retreating as Titus, Starlight and dozens of Soviet Soldiers charged chasing the Germans out of Russia and forcing them to retreat. As the army watched the Germans flee they jumped up and down cheering with glee and celebrating their victory. "I would like to congratulate and thank our powerful American Allies for aiding us in this battle," announced the general as he pinned a shiny badge on both of Titus's and Starlight's Uniform. The Russians clapped their hands and cheered for the two. Both Starlight and Titus bowed as they were acknowledged by the Soviets. The general turned to the two and asked,"I hope you two can continue to provide aid to us during the war," "Of course," said Starlight. "You can count on us," said Titus. "We appreciate it," said the general shaking both of their hands and hoof.
