The disappearance in 1944
The steady drone of the b-17's engines filled the cabin,
“I hate see'n the channel every morni'n.” said the right waist gunner of the plane.
The left one questioned, “and why is that?”
“cause it means i'm in a war over Germany.” the right one said.
“be on your guard.” Dennis the pilot told the crew.
“what the heck?” Dennis mumbled aloud
“why is the sky all deep blue in all the fog” He he said to be cut off by the sky turning from gray to deep blue.
“cap'n, What. Just. Happened?” Asked George, the tail gunner
“I don’t know but the channel disappeared.” Dennis replied
“Hey.” the flight engineer said “theres a field next to that town we can set down in.”
“wait inspect the town for any sorta indication its not german.” Dennis told his crew of 10.
“found some!” said the ball turret gunner. “Its a sign in English that says...Ponyville?”
“What kind of a name is that?” asked the radio/radar operator.
“wee'l find out” said Steve the co-pilot.
The b-17's four radial wright cyclone engines power down as the landed in a thousand foot long field. As Dennis shut them down, he climbed out of the nose hatch of the plane. He was so shook up on how bumpy the landing was, he fell flat on his face. Dennis got back up and cursed at himself the took a look around the bomber. What he saw behind it he wished was a dream. Well the 7 things that snuck up to the bomber when he wasn't looking.
“who or what are you.” the purple and tall white one asked in unison.
“WHAT THE HECK!?” shouted Dennis
“guys either i'm hallucinating or there is a freaking talking PONY over here!” Dennis yelled inside the bomber. “GET OUT HERE GUYS!” he shouted louder All 10 of the crew piled out of the plane and lined up revolvers drawn.
“okay so 7 ponies that Dennis claims talk.” said George the tail gunner.
“hello, my name is twi-” she was cut off by the way all of the man stared in shock instantly at her ability to talk.
“WELL THATS RUDE.” She stated
“Well how the heck can you talk?!” Jake the flight engineer asked.
“well duh i'm a pony and ponies can talk.” She said with a rude tone. “Anyway, my name is twilight sparkle, whats your name?” she said with a nicer tone.
“Well here's the list Dennis a.k.a. Me, Jake, Steve, George , John the navigator, smith the bombardier, Daniel here is the radio/radar guy, Bob hes the ball turret gunner, Quinton is the right waist gunner, and Danny here is the left waist gunner.” Dennis says naming the crew.
“Why are there ten of you and what is the drab colored THING behind you?” the small white one asked. “that color should only be used for accents!” she says with a whine.
“Well it takes ten of us to fly and protect the plane.” Dennis said in a matter-of-fact tone. “the color the army air corps. chose to be camouflaged in heavy brush if needed, and if you don’t like the color BRING IT UP WITH THE CORPS.!” Dennis said loudly at the end. “well dear no need to shout, and how does it fly?” the small white one asked.
“those propellers move at over 500 miles per hour pulling the plane forward and the wings that they are attached to make it bank and the rear ones make it go up and down.” Dennis said as simple as he could.
“Impressive!” the blue one with feathered wings said. Everyone of the ponies jaws dropped. Except the blue one with wings.
“So whats your lots names?”
“well you know my name” said twilight “but here are all of our names”
“well thats Rarity.” she pointed a hoof at the small white one who made a comment on the color of the plane. “Rainbowdash.” she said pointing to the blue one. “Fluttershy.” she said pointing to a yellow “Pegasus”. “Pinkie Pie.” she said pointing to an ridiculously pink pony. “and Applejack.” she said pointing to an orange pony with a Stetson-ish hat on.
“HEY” Danny spoke up “YOU HAVE A Stetson TOO?!” he yelled “bet ya don’t have a 45. caliber colt revolver!”
“Its a revolver for colts?” Pinkie Pie asked
“No, its made by the company, colt.”Danny said with an irritated tone “anyway I thought that was obvious.”
“ohhhhhhhh” Pinkie Pie said “Whats a revolver?”
“A weapon, sidearm, firearm Whatever. It shoots a pice of lead a thousand feet per second.” Danny said
“heres a demonstration!” Danny said stepping into the aircraft to get a tin can, his black Stetson, and all his western gear. He returned looking like a guy out of a wester film.
“Uhhhh Danny? Where do you keep that?”
“an ammo crate anyway Applejack, can you put this tin can over there” Danny said motioning towards a stump.
“uhh sure.” she said uneasily and set the can up.
“everyone get behind me.” Danny said
the second they did, the crew grinned, and plugged there ears. BANG! The 45. fired a single shot in the can making it shatter and split with a defining gunshot.
“Oh I forgot to tell you to plug your ears” Danny said
“ohh” rainbow dash said as she unplugged her ears. “I guess it was a good thing I saw your friends plugging there ears.”
“Friends, the crew I fly with are like my brothers!” Danny said happily grabbing all of them round' his shoulders. Then, Danny strode over to the can and picked it up and took it to the ponies.
“Whoa” said the 7 of them in unison when they saw the can.
“can I have that for a moment” said the tall white one.
“If you would tell me your name.” said Danny.
“my name is Princess Celestia.” she said.
“oh so theres a queen?” Dennis asked.
“my I have the “revolver”?” Celestia asked a little more gruffly.
“yea but its live so don't pull that trigger.” Danny said.
“Why not?” asked Celestia.
“cause that makes it go off.” Danny said.
“YOU MUST DESTROY IT!” Celestia ordered.
“Why?” Danny asked.
“Because if you use it against a pony you shall be put in my dungeon.” Celestia said flatly.
“SO, its not like I would, The only thing I would use it against is a german.” Danny mumbled.
“what is a German?” asked Celestia .
“The people mine and 6 other countries are at war with.” Danny said without much pleasure.
“Then lets see this thing in action” said Rainbow dash pointing to the plane, after Celestia handed er-Hooved the revolver back (see what I did there? I know I'm lame.)
“Hey Writer should we?” Dennis asked.
DENNIS!!!
“What?”
YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO BREAK THE FOURTH WALL thats Pinkie's job.
“Never-mind.” Said Dennis “Pile in”
“Wait is there an uninhabited desert or ocean or something around here?” smith asked.
“Yes, an ocean why” Celestia answered
“cause we need to drop the bombs in the ocean that we were gonna drop on the Germans” Replied smith
“DANNY, QUINTON,SMITH YOU WALK THE PROPS every one else get in, ponies don't touch ANYTHING, Steve lets start er' up.” Dennis ordered
“CLEAR” Danny Shouted as he stepped in and shut the rear hatch behind him.
“Superchargers low, power full, generators on, flaps 70%, Gear down and locked.” Dennis said as he continued the preflight checklist While Rainbow dash Had a stupid grin on her face and was watching over Dennis's shoulder.
“We are airborne” Dennis shouted over the roar of the engines. Everypony ooed and ahhed as the aircraft left the ground. When they left the ground, Dennis did as best aerobatics as he could in a bomber. Steve opened his window and puked
“SORRY STEVE FORGOT YOU HAD THE STOMACH OF A THREE YEAR OLD!” Dennis shouted over the wind getting a disapproving look from the ponies.
After they had dropped the bombs and returned to the field, the ponies insisted they stay at there homes but Dennis said they'd stay in the bomber to guard it. Celestia argued and said she'd send her best guard to watch the plane. But they refused to leave the plane.
“go go go!” a commander in the distance shouted
“WHEN THE HELL ARE THE TANKS GONNA GET HERE?!” a soldier shouted over the mortar and machine gun fire.
“Right now” the officer said as five M-4 Sherman tanks rounded a building that said “NORMANDIE-POST (Normandy post office) in german. The first of the five tanks fired at a machine gun in a window and scored a direct hit. The tank in the middle of the v shaped tanks just suddenly disappeared and found b-17 in a field by a small campsite. The driver shut down the tank.
The squad commander shouted “Where are we?” directed at Dennis.
“Ponyville.” Dennis stated flatly.
“Where?” The commander asked.
“oh just get your crew and get out of that tank!” Dennis said.
“Why?” The commander asked.
“cause I don't want ya to shoot the ponies.” Dennis's tone still flat.
“okayyy. My name is Jack.” Jack the tank squad commander said with an uncertain tone.
Once everyone was out, Dennis told them they could stay in the bomber for the night till' somepony came to check up on them in the morning. Once it was morning, The six ponies came to check on Dennis and his crew. When they got in sight of the plane they saw a big metal thing with tracks. The bomber crew saw them approach.
“What is that thing?” Applejack asked.
“an M-4 Sherman tank” Dennis said excitedly.
“When did it get here?” Applejack inquired.
“last night.” Dennis deadpanned
“what does it do?” She asked
“Watch.” Dennis said as he hoped into the tank and randomly fired it up and shot a round into a rockslide. BOOOOMMMMMMMMMM the cannon roared ALOT louder that the 45. The rocks blew up into the air and fell off the path.
BOOOOMMMMMMMM!!! The cannon shot woke the tank crew and they ran outside. They could hardly believe there eyes. Before them stood seven ponies with horns and or wings.
“Whoa.” said the tank gunner.
“WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!” Jack shouted at Dennis.
“a demonstration of what you tank does.” Dennis said coming out of the tank.
“And to whom?” The Jack calming down.
“These kind ponies” Dennis answered.
“How did we get here?” Jack Celestia thinking she was the leader.(CORRECT YOU WIN 1,000,000$)
“I think a portal did it.” Celestia said.
The tank crew gawked at her.
“who created it?” Jack asked.
“I think I may have.” She said.
So the commander walked up to Celestia, and Punched her good and hard really fast with a jab, uppercut, and hook. She barley looked dazed. Danny had a shocked look on his face like everyone except Celestia. The smaller 6 attacked him till' Danny pulled out his 45. and calmly shot the commander in the shoulder sending hing flying back five feet till he hit a rock and blacked out.
“WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!” Twilight asked Danny. “THAT THAT THAT LEAD WENT THRUGH HIS SHOULDER!”
“He punched your princess multiple times, and you ask me why the hell I shot him” Danny said Deadpanning
“good point” Quinton commented.
The commander woke up in what looked to be a hospital.
“oh” He groaned.
“my shoulder.” he said in a pained voice. He closed his eyes again.
“ugh. Daydreaming in battle and I get sent home to California.” He said glumly.
“California?” He heard a voice say
“Where in the hoof is THAT?!” He heard the same voice say.
“Oh, doc I see what ya did there” the commander said.
“Doc?” he heard the voice say
“he thinks your the doctor.” he heard another voice say. He felt as if he was lying on something hard. In fact he was on a stretcher in the hallway because the hospital was full. HE sat bolt up right collided with something pointy but blunt and was out cold again.
“Ooo” Dennis said “Thank heavens your horn is blunt and not sharp, or that would have been messy.”
Twilight rubbed her horn as she backed away from the commander.
“Get that friggin radio up.” my commander Joe whispered for the tenth time.
“OKAY!” I loudly whispered back.
I fell down not able to move saw my commander do the same, heard japanese shout orders, then blacked out. When I woke up, I found myself and the commander in a tree filled with books. I pulled out the radio pack and shouted
“THE HAMBERGUR MEAT HAS-AW SCREW THE CODE! THE JAPS KNOW WE ARE HERE! WE GOTTA GET OFF THIS ISLAN-!” then I got hit hard on the top of my head and looked up.
“HAH!” a DRAGON shouted at me. “GOTCHA”
“HAH!” I shouted back “I have a helmet!”
“TOMMY!” Joe shouted “QUIT SCREWIN AROUND WITH THAT THING AND SECURE A POINT OF DEFENCE!”
“YES SIR!” I respond.
“Uh, Are you guys from the military or something?” the dragon said
“Sgt. Tommy Gunn, United States Marine CORPS. 15564738!” I replied. It was routine to give your name rank branch and serial number if you were captured.
“Wuh?” the dragon said “Anyway my name is spike!” Spike said.
“TOMMY!” Joe said franticly “Something is comn'.”
“EEP!” I shouted grabbing my Thompson Sub Machine gun, kneeled, and aimed my gun at the door.
“Don't shoot till' we know it's hostile!” Joe whispered. I ran over and turned out the lights. In walked someone I knew reported M.I.A. My brother,
“DANNY?”
“TOMMY?” Danny asked.
“OH my brother I thought I'd never see you again!” I said.
“Dido!” he said excitedly.
“Ah C.O. Joe.” Danny said (hey that rhymes)
“So, the M-1 steel pot servn' ya better than an air force cap?” Danny asked me noticing my art on my helmet he said, “What did they nick mane ya, Mighty mouse?” he guessed.
“Yep.” I said. “and the helmet saved my hide more than once.” I said taking off the helmet and showing him the rifle bullet dents.
“Whoa.” he said gawking at the indents.
“I had to get a new one wanna know why?” I said.
“Why?”
I held up a five inch long pice of lead and said “50. caliber machine gun.”
A PURPLE unicorn (creature of myth)walked through the door and I dropped to my knee, backed up, and said
“I may like the color purple, but I have a Thompson and I'm not afraid to shoot it!”
Thunk, Thunk, THUNK, SMASH CRACK was the sound you would hear. Me, I experienced it. Everyone looked up (except me) and saw three small books,and a GIANT book, spike panting, and a me shaped hole in the solid wood floor. Everyone heard a groaning from under the big book.
“HAH the helmet didn't stop that!” Spike said triumphantly.
“SPIKE!” twilight said. “YOU CRUSHED HIM!”
She levitated the book up to reveal a ME shaped hole in the solid wood floor.
“did anyone but me here my skeleton break?” I asked as best I could while my world faded to black. I woke up in a hospital, where x-rays on a wall showed my shoulder was dislocated, and my leg and right arm were broken.
Took out the I.V. And stood even with a broken leg and walked over grabbed my gear and put it on.
“STOP! You are not in a good condition!” A doctor said. I ignored him.
“I've seen worse.” I said.
“HOW could it get worse?!” the doctor asked.
“Try getting grenade thrown at you blowing off your wrists to the bone, Then stepping on a land mine getting your legs blown off.” I said remembering one of my friends.
His jaw hit the floor.
I got my Thompson and gear and assumed a crouched defensive position. I got out of the hospital, and saw the lizard dragon thing that crushed me, went over to him, and shoved him.
“AHH!” he said because I snuck up on him. “uh why is your arm in a sling and why are you limping?”
he asked me
“Two words, Giant book.” I said deadpanning. I saw Danny standing by an apple stand discussing something with an orange pony. I walked er limped over to him. He saw me coming
“ya know for being teleported to a strange world and crushed with a giant book by a baby dragon, your handling this really well.” Danny said and the orange pony nodded.
“well even though I want to scream, freaking out is no way to act.” I replied. He just shrugged. I found a field on the outskirts of town housing the Liberty Belle, my brothers plane, and a Sherman tank.
