Hello Mr.Enemy
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Get on your knees, any sudden moves and you die." Steiner said as he just realized he could speak perfect English.
"How do you speak English so well?" Pierre asked as he kneeled and also realized about his new speaking skills.
"Shut up frenchie, I never said you could speak." this whole situation was really getting to Steiner nerves. "Remove your pistol.".
Jean carefully removed his Modèle 1935 pistol from the holster and set it on the ground to his right. Then they just stared at each other for a few moments before Jean broke the silence "Now what?".
"Don't move!" yelled Archibald as he aimed his rifle at Wenck's forehead. Both the German and French were confused for a moment, Steiner grunted and released the grip on his mp40, letting it fall to the ground.
"Nice one boy!" the lieutenant said as he picked up his mp18. "Now, get on your knees, kraut" he spat the last part of the sentence. The major got on his knees and Pierre picked up his mp40.
"Who are you?" Archibald asked the blue uniformed man.
"Lieutenant Jean Pierre, Free French Forces" he replied "Who are you?".
"P-private Archibald Stantson, 1st Para" the boy stuttered.
"Okay, now kraut, why shouldn't I shoot you?" Jean asked angrily.
"Do what you want, I don't care" the German deadpanned.
Both allied soldiers were surprised by this answer. "What? Why not?" Stantson asked in confusion.
"HAH! You act like you don't care, sure. Well, you certainly did not care about my brother when you killed him!" Jean was starting to get angrier and angrier.
"Brother? What, was he a soldier, a civilian? AND YOU BLAME ME?!" Everyone was shock back by Steiner's outburst "I'm tired of you allies all thinking we're the bad guys and you're the fucking saviors of the world or something! You think we were happy when the war started? Yeah all Germans are evil child eating monsters, heh, that does make it easier to kill us. Doesn't it?" both the other soldiers were just staring with their eyes wide open. He was right. "My INNOCENT family" Steiner continued "was killed by BRITISH bombs while they were shopping. Yes, my mom, dad, young brother and baby sister. The ones I loved most in the whole world. The only ones I had. All dead while peacefully walking by the streets and buying milk. So come on, pull the trigger now if you've got balls." Pierre and Archibald were left without words, their facial expressions turned to a saddened one.
"Heh. Now you pity me?" Wenck almost whispered.
A growl got everyone's attention, and what they said left them with their mouths open. To their left, ten metres away from them, coming out some bushes, was a wolf. A wolf made of wooden sticks that looked as if they had fallen from a tree and gotten together to create this animal, if it could be called that. It's little claws seemed razor sharp, it's teeth as pointy as a needle, bright yellow eyes that glowed in the dark. And it was slowly nearing them in an attack position.
Suddenly, more wolves come out the bushes and weed in front of them, there must have been at least 20.
"W-what is t-that?" Archibald was so scared he was shaking a little.
Steiner ripped the mp40 off the French soldier and aimed at the wolves. "Stand back!" He cried to them, but they gave no heed as they continued to advance. "Scheiße!"
"I'll be damned if I get killed in the middle of nowhere by fucking wood wolves!" Steiner said and started spraying them with his mp40. The other two men started firing as well. And before the wolves knew it, a hail of bullets rained upon them. Yelps were heard, wood was splintered and shattered. By the time they had to reload only 7 wolves remained. One of them lunged at Steiner with it's jaws open, ready to bite into his prey. But the wolf only meet two 7.65×21mm Parabellum round to went right through the head, making his structure fall apart.
"Shoot them in the head!" Wenck shouted to the men at his sides.
Three more wolves attack the group of humans. The first one got a taste of rifle butt that broke his jaw, then another butt to the head ended him. The second wolf went for Pierre and bit on his mp18, the momentum of the lunge sending them both to the ground. Steiner kicked the third wolf in the side of it's head which made it drop to the ground of his side, the wooden monstrosity then received two bullets in the head.
Archibald turned to see Pierre struggling with a wolf. The private took out his knife and embedded it in the wolf's head through the back of its head. The young British man helped Jean up. They both turned as they heard a few mp40 shots and looked to see the German major finishing off the last three wolves.
Wenck just stared blankly at the sight before them. The once menancing wolves all reduced to twigs and sticks which were scattered everywhere.
"AAH!" Archie shouted as he fell to his knees and started crying "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!" he cried.
"Uhh, ahh...Come on boy, calm down" Jean was trying to comfort Stantson to keep his mind off what just happened.
"BUT WHY? WHAT THE FU- HALT DIE KLAPPE!" Steiner silenced the private. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. The wolves were being put back together by some kind of green light. "RUN! FUCKING RUN NOW!" Steiner yelled as he darted in the opposite direction of the wolves; follow closely behind by the other two men.
He saw a dirt road. 'That's it, civilization, they have to be able to help us' he thought with a shimmer of hope. He lead the group through the road un till they came to a stop. Everyone was panting. Wenck sat to the side of the little path and put his hands to his face. Archie and Jean sat next to him.
"Okay." the German said putting his hands away "We...So...Alright, if we are going to survive wherever the fuck we are, we need to stick together. So why don't we start with our names, rank and how we got here? Yes?".
The other two member of the group nodded. Silence reigned until Archie spoke "M-my name is Private Archibald Stantson. I...I was in Arnhem. We were tasked with securing a bridge and waiting for reinforcements, but...They never came. I follow one of my friends into a house to escape some Germans that were advancing on me a-and..." a tear started rolling down his left cheek "Tommy got killed by an explosion...Then some guys dragged me out the building. Out of nowhere I saw a light and then everything was dark." He covered his face with his hands and started weeping.
"I'm sorry for your loss." said Steiner with sympathy in his voice.
"Why didn’t they arrive?!" Archie yelled in anger "They promised a division of tanks!".
"Your reinforcements met heavy resistance, plus we blew up a bridge, that is why they didn't get there in time." Said Wenck calmly.
Archie looked at him in disbelief.
"Hehehe. No silly, I didn't mean that" the three men heard not far away as they clutched their weapons.
"Come on, hide. Do not fire until I say so." Wenck said and everyone got behind the bushes.

When Fluttershy told Twilight about what she heard, she quickly gathered the girls to investigate. But the curiosity was killing her. What could it have been? Was it dangerous? Was it just a pony casting a spell? It didn't matter, she would find out soon enough.
"Um... Twilight?" Rarity's voice made Twilight snap back to the world "How much longer are we going to stay in this dreadful forest?".
"Rarity, ugh, we just got here!" Rainbow Dash said exasperated.
"And, and what if what I heard is a h-horrible m-m-monster?" Fluttershy was certainly scared.
"Don't worry girls, it is probably nothing serious." Twilight said with confidence. She heard some bushes move to her right.
"Aufgeben!" a masculine voice said. As Twilight turned to see who had said that, she saw something that made her jaw drop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------<>-----------------------------------------------------------------
They heard hoof steps approaching. 'I should have guessed we were near a farm' Steiner thought. But he also heard feminine voices. 'The farmer's daughters? Hmm...I guess the hut I said earlier is theirs.’
'Aah, can't see shit...Fuck it.' Wenck thought as he jump out the bushes and yelled "Aufgeben!" follow by the other two humans.
...

The group of soldiers was standing up, aiming their weapon at 6 pastel coloured short horses? The horses got to about their stomach in height. The noticed everyone was staring at them in confusion except for a yellow coated pink maned...Pegasus? That was hiding behind an orange coated yellow maned horse with a...a cowboy hat.
"Don't follow your natural instincts and surrender frenchie, they just little horses." Wenck joked, which earned a chuckle from Archie and a glare from Jean.
"Who are you calling horse you...hairless monkey!" one with a blue coat and a rainbow mane said, she also had wings, another pegasus.
Now the human's mouths were on the ground. This was too much. Dark evil forest, okay. Wooden wolved that tried to kill them, it could be dealt with. But talking little pastel coloured horses? This was just ridiculous.
"H-horses can't talk" Jean said gripping his mp18 harder.
"Excuse me." a horsey with a white coat and blue mane said in a stuck up tone. 'Hold on, is that a horn?' "But we are ponies, and as you can see, we can talk. Also, may I point out, those dresses you're wearing are just horrendous.".
'Dresses...' Steiner glanced at Jean "Draw me like one of your French girls..." he whispered.
"Did you say something?" the purple coated pony with a dark purple mane that had two striped of light purple in the middle said. Wenck noticed she had wings AND a horn.
"Do you know where we are?" Archie said casually, as he hung his rifle on his back.
"What are you doing?" Pierre muttered to him, but Archie payed no attention.
"We are in the Everfree forest." said Twilight trying to calm them and get them to lower what she assumed were weapons. "My name is Twilight. That is Applejack" Twilight pointed to the pony.
"Howdy pardner." Applejack said.
'Pff Yankee' Steiner thought.
"I'm Rarity." Rarity said "Hello darlings.".
"I'm Fluttershy." The pony said barely audible.
"I'm the one and only super awesome RAINDOW DASH!" Rainbow said as she made a loop in the air.
Out of nowhere a pink blub jumped in front of the men. "OH HI! MY NAME IS PINKIE PIE! BUT YOU CAN CALL ME PINKIE! OOHH YOU'RE NEW HERE! i'LL HAVE TO THROW YOU A PARTY! I'LL BE SUPER FUN, WE'LL HAVE DECORATIONS, AND FOOD LIKE CUPCAKES! OOH CUPCAKES! DO YOU LIKE CUPCAKES I LOVE CUP-" Pinkie said making Wenck and Jean jump.
"For the love of shit, don't do that again!" Steiner said. Just then, he noticed some kind of tattoo of the ponies’ flanks. 'This is getting too weird too quickly.' he thought.
"Who are you, eehm, guys?" Twilight said as she pulled Pinkie back and put on a 'don't kill us' grin.
The humans stared at them for a second, and then proceeded to tell their names and ranks.
"Major Wenck Steiner".
"Lieutenant Jean Pierre".
"Private Archibald Stantson".
"Oh, so you're soldiers. Well, why don't you come to my house in Ponyville?" Twilight said so they could get out the forest, she had a bad feeling.
"Sure thing!" Archibald said as he started walking, only to be grabbed and pulled back by the gray uniformed German.
"Get ahold of yourself private!" Steiner yelled "We don't know if they are friendly or not.”
"Oh come on!" Archie said as he put on an 'are you kidding me?' face.
Suddenly, a load roar caught everyone's attention.
As everyone turned around Wenck and Pierre said at the same time "Fuck me."
