Standing before them was a monster with the body of a lion; golden fur, sharpened claws. Dark wings like a bat, a scorpion tail.
Eyes as red as the fire of hell, eyes that could burn your soul with just a glance. A creature of nightmares. A look of hunger and anger in its face. Th-

"Du hurensohn!" Steiner yelled, making everyone including the manticore recoil in surprise "Fuck this world! Fuck this Forest! Fuck these ponies! But above all, FUCK YOU!" Steiner then proceeded to unload his whole magazine on the beast.

A few seconds later, the creature fell to the ground with 23 new holes. But that did not stop Wenck. He wanted to unload, he needed to unload all his anger. An anger he had been accumulating and finally exploded.

Hi unholstered his Luger and shot the lifeless body and he advanced. When the pistol clicked empty, he took out his knife and charged. Steiner embedded the knife through the right eye of the creature. "Fuck" he shouted as his pulled the knife back “you!" and stabbed it again. Tears streaming down his cheeks. This was to much. His brain on the edge of what it could handle.

Everyone watched dumb folded. Twilight knew she had to get them out of here before they all went insane. Her horn started glowing bright purple, and a same coloured mist surrounded the humans. They were confused at first, but could not react as they fell asleep.

Fluttershy and Rainbow were shaking like leaves. Rarity hiding behind Applejack, who was staring blankly at the humans, the same of Pinkie Pie. "They're dangerous, we can't bring them to Ponyville!" Rainbow said. "They'll kill us all! Let's leave them here and run!" Rarity agreed.

"NO!" everyone was incredibly surprised to see Fluttershy yell "I have never seen them around, which means they're from another place, maybe even another world. That of they have been in isolation for so long, that they have become like this. They need help, and it us our responsibility to help them!".

"But Fluttershy-" Applejack, who had already gathered herself, tried to argue, but was cut short by the yellow pegasus. "No buts! Can't you see they are broken? Their minds can barely take it!".

"She's right girls." Twilight said.

"B-but, where do we take them?" Dash asked.

"Twilight, can you teleport us to my cottage?"

Sparkle nodded and her horn lit up and they vanished.

------------------------------------------------------------------<>------------------------------------------------------------------

"So you casted a spell that made us fall asleep, then teleported us here?" Archie asked and Twilight nodded.

The humans and ponies were sitting in a circle in the main room of Fluttershy's cottage. There was a large green carpet on the floor. Some small furniture here and there with family pictures and other objects. And many critters running around.
For the past 30 minutes the ponies had told them some things about their culture and world, and explained what happened in the forest.

"Well, I apologize for our behavior. Mine in particular, it was just...Too much." Steiner said.

"I understand." Twilight replied and gave him a smile.

Out of nowhere a white bunny went up to Steiner and smiled at him. "Oh, looks like little Angel likes you." Fluttershy said in a happy tone.

"Yeah, ruthless tough German Major, the little fluffy bunny likes you. Why don't you pet it? Jean joked.

'Challenge accepted motherfucker' Wenck though as he went to pet the bunny with his finger. However, as he got near him, Angel bit and then proceeded to laugh his ass off as Wenck quickly pulled his arm back and winced in pain.

Fluttershy scolded the little demon as Archie and Pierre laughed their asses off. "I'm sorry Wenck." the yellow pegasus apologized.

"No, please. It is okay, I'm sure he was just playing." Wenck said putting up a happy face. 'Little shit.' he thought inside.

"Anyways." Jean asked as he wiped a tear from his eye "Where did you say we were exactly?"

"We're in the town of Ponyville." Twilight said. 'My god, this name just breaks the boundaries of creativity' Wenck thought. "In the country of Equestria" Twilight finished. 'Of course...'.

"So, tell us about yourselves." The purple alicorn said as she materialized a quill, ink and a stack of paper.

"Well." Jean said "We are soldiers of different countries that are in a war. My country, France; and his country, The United Kingdom" he pointed to Archie" are fighting his country, Germany." Pierre pointed to Wenck.

"Fighting? Why?" Fluttershy asked horrorized as the thought of humans dying crossed her mind.

"It all started with the dream of a certain man called Otto Von Bismarck to unify his country, but that's a story for another time." Steiner replied.

Twilight was a little let down since she wanted to record everything.

"Basically, we were fighting, in different locations, then saw a bright white blinding light. Afterwards, woke up in the forest." Archie spoke with clear tiredness in his voice, even though he slept for three hours.

"And do you have any family?" Twilight asked.

The expressions of the humans changed to a saddened one as they remembered their loved ones who died. Archie's eyes began to tear up. Jean put his around him and Wenck looked at him with sympathy. He knew his pain.

"Wenck's family is all dead...I lost my b-brother. Archie lost his best friend." Jean said as tears started streaming down his face.

"I...I'm so sorry..." the alicorn apologized.

"No, it's okay. You did not know. Men get ahold of yourselves." Steiner ordered.

The two other soldiers wiped their tears away and composed themselves.

"We need to check our weapons and ammo." he said "I have my mp40, two magazines left. My Luger, two magazines left. Two grenades, my binoculars and knife"

"Mp18, four magazines left. I left my handgun back in the forest. My binoculars and knife are here." Jean said as he felt around his uniform with his hands for useful things

"Lee Enfield No.4, about 30 rounds left. And my knife." Archie spoke last.

Then the room fell silent for a few moments untill Rarity spoke "It's getting rather late, isn't it darling?”

"Oh, indeed it is." Twilight answered.

"Very well." Wenck stood up "We'll sleep outside, come on men."

Archie and Jean stood up. "No you ain't." Applejack deadpanned "Ah ain't 'bout to let some good folk in need of shelter sleep outside. You sleepin' in mah house."

"We don't want to bother you." Jean said.

"You ain't sugarcube, it would bother me if ah I you were sleepin' outside. Plus, you can buck with me tomorrow."

"Excuse me?" Jean asked surprised by the offer "Look, you are a good looking wom- eeh, pony. But I don't think this is possible."

"What?" Applejack had no idea what he was talking about.

"No you dummkopf. She said 'buck', not 'fuck'. Plus, you'd surrender as soon as she was on top of you." Steiner said as he and Archie laughed.

"Oooh..." Pierre realized as he and the orange pony blushed.

"Oookay, let's get moving." Twilight was trying to break the embarrassing moment.

------------------------------------------------------------------<>------------------------------------------------------------------

As they were nearing the town Wenck noticed something strange.

"Hey." he told the ponies that were talking among themselves "What is going on?"

The girls looked forward. Twilight's face turned to one of horror.

Outside the village, all the inhabitants were gathered. But the three other princeses, her brother, and some unicorn royal guards were there too. They were chained and had what looked like magical dampeners in their horns. They were stone cylinders made of some white stone at the base of the horns.
The town and nearby field were filled with...Goblins and a few orcs. They wore just rags or leather armour, but some had chainmail armour, probably the officers.
The goblins were little dark green dirty creatures, they were as tall as the ponies, and most were fat. Their rags covered their hips to their knees, and had broken leather shoes. They all were gripping their swords which were varying in size, but all were short, and had curves along the sides. The handle was a thin section of the bottom wrapped by cloths.

The orcs were as tall as a human, some even taller. They were dark blue and had big muscles. Most had black warpaint in the face. They sported a weak leather armour that covered their chest, stomach and upper section of their legs, not reaching the knee. Their swords were long straight blades, that got wider from the handle outwards. In the top, a section of the weapon sticked out, like a pickaxe.

There were well over a hundred orcs and goblins, mostly the second.

'B-But they're supposed to be extinct.' Twilight thought. Across the river in front of the town, there were a few goblins, one of them holding hostage a pony.
She was a cream coated, crimson maned, blue eyed pegasus with an steampunk airship cutie mark. A knife pressing against her throat.

'But why are the princesses here? Why woul-' then it hit her 'My Birthday' Twilight realized 'Today is my birthday.'

'Fuck me with every single dildo in existence' Wenck cursed himself. "Quick! Hide in the river bank!" he whispered.

The nine of them were crouched almost touching the river, covered by the ground which was sloped up and then continued flat.

"Alright. I think I can remove the dampeners with an accurate energy bolt." Twilight told her plan.

"Dampeners?" Jean inquired.

"The thing in the other alicorn's horn." Sparkle replied "Once I free her, she'll deal with everything."

"Let's hope you're right." Archie was worried.

The purple mare charged her horn, focused, and then shot a small ball of energy. But powerful enough to break then dampeners. Or so she though, as the ball touched the dampeners, it dissipated. 'My...My magic is not powerful enough' Twilight cursed.

Everyone turned to look at the group hidden in the river bank. Every eye on them. "Kill the prisoner!" a tall orc with chainmail ordered. As the goblin began to press to press the knife harder against the throat of the mare a loud bang was heard. Followed by a splatter of blood coming out the goblin's head as it fell backwards onto the ground.

Everyone turned to see Archie holding up his Lee Enfield, which has its barrel smoking. Everything was silent for a moment.

'I am dead.' Steiner though as he charged towards the group of goblins near the aforementioned mare. He kicked one of them to the ground and finished it off with a burst of bullets.

*BANG BANG BANG*

Another gobling dropped dead.

*BANG BANG BANG*

As well as the one next to him.

"Archie! Pierre! The dampeners" Steiner yelled as he was slashed across the chest and fell down. The cut was not deep, but still hurt like hell. Another burst of bullets killed the offending goblin. His gray uniform slowly started turn dark by his blood mixing with the cotton and wool.

At the same time, the other two humans rushed towards the princesses. Pierre spraying the enemies in front as Archie engaged them in melee combat with his rifle, which had the bayonet inserted.

*BANG BANG BANG*

A burst of bullets from the mp18 saved the British man from being stabbed in the back. Meanwhile Archie blocked slash with his rifle and then embedded the bayonet in the orc's neck, cutting the jugular.

Steiner received a stab in his right leg. He fell to the ground and his mp40 was taken by a goblin, as another one prepared to kill him. He pulled out his Luger.

*click*

Wenck's face had horror written all over it. He had forgotten to reload it. This was it.

Suddenly, both goblins were bucked back by the pegasus mare. Who then slit one's throat and cracked the skull of the other one with her hoof.

"How do we get these things off?!" Archie screamed in desperation. They were surrounded, completely surrounded.

Over 20 goblins and orcs lunged at them at the same time. Ready to kill them, eat them raw, tear their limbs apart, and many other atrocities. They closed their eyes. But the pain never came, they did not feel anything. Was death really that quick and painless?

They open their eyes to see their enemies suspended in the air, covered in a purple glow. They then hit the ground enough to knock them out or kill them.

"Shoot it!" Jean said as he turned to Archie.

"What?"

"It's the only way! Shoot it now!"

Private Stantson aimed at the dampener on the horn of a white coated alicorn, her hair had different stripes of colour and seemed to be fluttering in an invisible wind. He concentrated, took aim.

*BANG*

The bullet hit the dampener and exploded outwards in dozens of little pieces. The soldiers covered their eyes just in time as the rocky shrapnel hit and got stuck in their bodies. They fell to the ground screaming in pain.
Then the white alicorn broke her chains with her magic, and grabbed all the evil green and blue creatures in her golden yellow magic. Suddenly the hearts of the beasts stopped as they were dropped to the ground, lifeless.
