Chapters In May 20, 1941, the German Battleship, Bismarck , with her escort heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen , is now on her first maiden voyage, Operation: Rheinübung. This naval operation to the 2-ship fleet is to destroy convoys heading towards Great Britain.
Bismarck , the first of the Bismarck-class Battleships(second is the Tirpitz ) of the Kriegsmarine(German Navy) is a fearsome battleship that is not gonna be taken lightly. It has 8-15" guns with a maximum range of 8,870 nautical miles, and has a speed of 30.01 knots, fair speed for a 50,300 ton battleship. Commissioned at February 14,1939, and named after the German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, she was a pride for the German Navy. Now commanded by Capt. Ernst Lindemann, with Admiral Günther Lütjens, with the Prinz Eugen , she will try her mighty guns to the convoy.
"Kapitän, wir sind annäherung die Ufer von island. (Captain, we are now approaching the shore of Iceland)." one of the ship mates said.
"Gut. Jetzt, zurückgehen zu ihre senden.(Good. Now, go back to your post.)" Lindemann replied. The sailor saluted back and did what the captain told him. The Admiral was smiling.
"Kapitän, sie haben außergewöhnlich führung.(Captain, you have exceptional leadership.)"
"Die gleichen für sie.(The same for you.)" The 2 Kriegsmarine ships are sailing mightily, expecting to pass the shores of Iceland later. Then, a sailor alerted the Admiral and the Captain, saying:
"Generaladmiral, Kapitän, kommen und siehe auf die horizont.(Admiral, Captain, come and see on the horizon.) The Admiral and the Captain took their binoculars and zoom to see what's on the horizon. Sure enough, a white light appeared and flashed suddenly. Moments later, the 2 mighty ships were gone.
-Equestria-
The Mane 6, with the 2 princesses, Celestia and Luna, are having a beach party, set up by the Element of Laughter, Pinkie Pie. The ponies are having a great time on the beach, and relaxing if they could.
"What a great day to have relaxation! Don't you agree dear?" Rarity said to Twilight.
"I agree Rarity. Sometimes, I need a break!" Twilight replied.
"I do hope this day is not spoiled! If not, then it's awesome to relax." Rainbow Dash said.
"Now, now my little ponies. We're just relaxing for the day. Tomorrow, it's resume of our daily lives, again." Celestia said.
"I would dearly hope it's-" Luna got cut off by a sudden white flash, and the ponies got blinded by the flash. Moments later, the flash disappeared, and for a moment, the ponies were dazed. After a few seconds, they regained their sights.
"What in the hay was that?" Applejack asked. The ponies were now looking for the source of the flash, and on the horizon in the Equestrian Sea, they found the answer for Applejack's question. 2 massive ships were spotted, with different sizes however. But, they have a similarity: they have grey hulls in metal. The flag is not Equestrian, so it's not Equestrian in nature, with the massive sticks sticking out from the 'turtle shell'.
"Uhm, Princesses, I do hope you know those ships, do you?" Twilight asks.
"No. Our current iron ship, EQN(Equestrian Navy) Canterlot, is based on Manehattan. In fact, I don't even recall ships having smaller ones at it's sides." The ponies view it more closely, and soon enough, they saw the smaller 'sticks' on 'turtle shells' in the sides of those ships.
"Twilight, can you please give me a paper and quill. I need to send an urgent message to the Capt. of the Canterlot ."
"For what, Princess?"
"You will know soon." Twilight did as the Princess ordered, and the Princess starts writing a letter to the Captain of the only iron warship in Equestria. After a few minutes of writing, she was finished.
"Twilight, can you please mail this letter to the Captain?"
"Sure Princess. Hang on. Spike!" Twilight said. Soon, a little baby purple dragon showed up and said:
"Yes Twilight?"
"Please deliver this letter to Manehattan."
"Sure thing." The dragon held the letter and now runs to Manehattan.
"I do hope it arrives." Celestia said.
"Me too." Twilight said.
-Kriegsmarine Perspective-
"Wo die hölle sind wir?!(Where the hell are we?!)" Captain Lindemenn exlaimed.
"Kapitän, flotte ist ordnung.(Captain, fleet is okay.)" one of the sailors of the Bismarck said.
"Gut.(Good.)"
"Kapitän, nehmen ein blick dies der auf die von ufer.(Captain, take a look on the shore.)" one of the sailors said. The Captain take his binoculars and zooms on the shore. What he sees was astonishing. In the shore was 8 miniature horses, with different colors. One has a hat on it.
'Die hölle?!' the Captain cursed in his thoughts. His mind was racing with thoughts, but was interrupted by the Gunnery Control officer.
"Welche ist lhr bestellungen?(What is your orders?)" The Captain think of it for a moment, before answering:
"Nur segeln.(Just sail.)"
"Ja Kapitän.(Yes Captain.)" The 2 ships, Bismarck and Prinz Eugen , sail away to uncharted waters, unaware that they will be intercepted by the Equestrian Navy.
-Manehattan Harbor-
The sun was shining above Manehattan Harbor, in which the Equestrian Navy has it's Forward Operating Base. The pride of the navy was EQN Canterlot , which was just commissioned a few days ago. The Canterlot was the first of it's kind, the Royal Sisters-class ships, the only class which is made out of pure metal. It's classic design was fairly neat, equivalent to the Dreadnought-class Battleships, but has distinct differences.
First of all, because this era was mostly wooden ships, the Canterlot has a catapult, which was an unusual design for a ship. Second, it is not a typical fighting ship, rather, it was used for close to medium ranges for the defense of merchant ships. And third, this ship is very outdated even before it was commissioned because of it's only armament and armor, which is just 3 inches thick.
The Captain of the Canterlot , Ironwit, was sipping coffee for awaiting of orders to go out and defend merchant ships. His thoughts were full, being awarded with an award, and becoming a national hero. But his thoughts of becoming a hero was cut of by voice.
"Mail from the Princess." He turned around and saw a little dragon, holding a paper tied by a silk ribbon.
"Give it to me and thank you." The dragon give the letter, before replying with a 'Your welcome' bow. The Captain then untie the letter, which reads:
Dear Captain Ironwit,
As of today, when I have a beach party with my sister and the Elements of Harmony, a sudden flash caught us off-guard, and 2 ships have been spotted. Because I fear of this ships, I have a new mission for you: locate and intercept this ships. That's the only order.
Sincerely:
Princess Celestia
The Captain was delighted, and after a final sip of his tea, he packs up and must board the Canterlot with the order.
'This is the chance that I have been waiting for.' he thought with a smile, wanting to prove for Equestria that he was one of the elite.
Author's Note
Chapter 1 of 'The Bismarck' is out!
Ironwit has been in the Equestrian Navy for 5 years, being captain of 5 ships in the time of wooden ships. The Canterlot was his 6th ship to be captain. His awards were just the Navy Cross Class III and II. He always had dreams of becoming a hero, but he knew it was in the future. He stops just 15 yards in front of the EQN Canterlot , and smiled on the beautiful ship.
The Canterlot was deployed 5 times, defending 60 merchant ships from danger. Her last encounter was yesterday, when 5 merchant ships were defended by her from pirates, who wanted nothing more than recognition to their worsening poverty. Her catapult firing system, although slow, was effective towards wooden ships, particularly used by the pony pirates. Today, however, was different. She will be deployed and intercept 2 ships that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Ironwit smiled on the fact that it was the first deployment of the Canterlot towards enemy ships, but was also worried. These ships appeared out of nowhere, and was uncertain about the ships and her crews faith. But nothing matters now. He must accomplish a task given by him none other than the royal princess. He blows out his whistle, and the crew was assembled.
"Gentlecolts, today is one of the significant chapters of our ship. Today is our first ever deployment against a ship. But their is actually 2 ships that must be intercepted, and I don't know what is our faith. But if it's pirates, then it's our duty to stop them. Any questions?" he said. No hoofs where raised. He smiled.
"Okay boys, let's get moving!" The crew members darted to their posts in the ship, with the captain in the bridge. The ship moves out from the harbor, greeted by ponies, to hear it's great heroism in the mission. Little did they know, though, that these 2 ships are like the ship, but deadlier and better-armed.
-Kriegsmarine-
The Bismarck and Prinz Eugen sailed mightily upon uncharted waters, but the crew were not relaxing. They are in constant watch of danger, with spotters searching for any ships that doesn't bear the Kriegsmarine Flag. The Captain and the Admiral were also looking out for any signs of danger.
"Kapitän, sie sind trotzen?(Captain, are you brave?)" the Admiral asked.
"Natürlich!(Of course!)" the Captain beamed in pride. "Die Kriegsmarine ist trotzen!(The Kriegsmarine is brave!)". Of course, the Kriegsmarine is brave, even through worst condition. They are willing to fight to the death, even through the harsh options. The Admiral smiled to the fact, but a sailor comes up to the bridge and said:
"Kapitän, wir haben kontaktieren.(Captain, we have contact.)"
"Wo? Was ist die stelle?(Where? What is the location?)"
"Die kontaktieren 15 nautische meilen nördlich westen von hier.(The contact 15 nautical miles north west from here.)"
"Identifizierung?(Identification?)"
"Negativen.(Negative.)"
"Noch identifizieren die kontaktieren.(Still identify the contact.)"
"Ja Kapitän.(Yes Captain.)" The sailor then leaves the bridge, but then a sailor notify him, saying:
"Kapitän! Kontaktieren gefunden.(Captain! Contact found.)" The Captain and Admiral took their binoculars and search the horizon from the sailors view, and sure enough, an ironclad has been found. It was actually a Dreadnought type, but with a catapult instead of guns. The Captain wondered for a moment, before moving to give an order.
"Benachrichtigung! Kontaktieren gefunden! Bereit für handlung.(Alert! Contact found! Ready for action.)" The ships action alarm blares around the ship, and the German crews darted for their stations. The contact was enough for 'all-bear' action, and the guns turns towards their targets. The crew waited for an order, and as a cue, the Captain ordered Turret 1 with the order:
"Feuer!(Fire!)" Turret 1 fires it's first shell on an unidentified and unknown ship, narrowly missing the Dreadnought type ship.
-Canterlot-
The Canterlot sails for it's intended targets, potentially stopping them from raiding the merchant ships. The crew was relaxed, thinking it's like a walk in the park. In the bridge, Ironwit and a few sailors were on a look-out for their targets, to stop their raids once and for all. Ironwit was holding his binoculars when a sailor notified him.
"Captain, I spotted some ships, 15 nautical miles north-east from here." The captain looked at that direction, and on the horizon, 2 ships were spotted. The captain never saw these kind of ships. The ships were made out of metal, much like the Canterlot herself, with an iron-grey color. 4 'turtle shells' were also identified, 2 each on the bow and stern. On them where 'sticks' sticking out of them.
'What are those ships?' Ironwit wondered. Then, the 'turtle shells' began to move, and to his utter shock, it was pointing at his ship. He began to wonder what is their purpose, and found his answer and one of 'turtle shells' fired something that is beyond Equestria could have. Moments later, a splash was heard, and the Captain saw a column of water near his ship.
"Ready the catapult! We shall return fire." The sailors did what the Captain ordered them, and the catapult was being turned to the ships direction. But the sailors wasn't expecting loud bangs from their targets, with catastrophic results.
Author's Note
Well First Contact is out! The Mighty Bismarck fired it's shots of war! Notify me if you could for some good measures and some errors.
"Feuer!(Fire!)" the Captain ordered as the massive guns of the mighty German ships roared in fury, blasting the enemy ship with all their might. Their accuracy was more than enough to destroy a ship, with coordinates from Gunnery Control provides them with precise measurements of the targets location. The Captain was smiling, thinking this is an easy picking. However, one of the sailors said:
"Kapitän, der Feind zurück feuer!(Captain, the enemy returned fire!)" The Captain took his binoculars and look up in the sky. The enemy returned fire with a....boulder? Boulder, a large rock, was fired from their enemy. He think of it for a moment, then he knew that his enemy was very primitive, using a catapult against ships. Then, the boulder missed the Prinz Eugen near the port side of the bow. The Captain then ordered:
"Halten die pistole lodernden!(Keep the guns blazing!)" Knowing what he meant, the crew keeps firing on their enemy, in which it was having heavy pounding from the massive shells of the mighty German naval guns.
-Canterlot-
"Fire!" Ironwit commanded as the massive catapult hurls a massive rock to the enemy. He hopes that it will hit one of these lambasting enemies and retreat like cry babies. But when he looked, it was a disaster. The massive rock missed the lead ship and the enemies fired back, and then.....
*BOOM!*
A massive explosion rocks the ship, sending the crew of the Canterlot of their hooves for a few seconds. The Captain was bewildered, but then asked:
"Damage assessment?" As a cue, one of the damage control teams responded.
"Sir, we got hit! I repeat! We got hit! We got a big hole in the starboard side, and we are now listing badly." The Captain was in dread, but another report gave him more.
"Sir, our catapult got hit! We can't fire anymore! We are now taking multiple hits from our enemy! Should we retreat?" The Captain wondered his decision. In his years staying in the navy, he never in his life utter the word 'retreat'. It's a dreaded word in the navy at that time, and if a commanding officer in the navy say it, he/she will be discharged. However, today is different. His enemy not only outclassed the Canterlot , but also outgunned her. He has a choice: stay and fight to the death, or retreat to treat the wounded? His heart and mind gave him the decision.
"Men, let's get the hell out of here! I don't like getting this ship being kicked out of the water!" The crew did as what he ordered, and soon goes back to Manehattan Harbor. What did they don't know, is that their enemy notice their retreat.
-Kriegsmarine-
"Kapitän, der Feind ist zurück.(Captain, the enemy is going back.)" The Captain wondered for a moment, but then saw the enemy retreating, and knows that the enemy has enough. The crew gave him a report that the guns are loaded, but he ordered them for the 'normal' state of the guns, meaning back at their 'neutral' state. Then, one of the crew asked:
"Was sollen wir tun?(What shall we do?)" The Captain though about it for a moment, before ordering:
"Gab verfolgungsjagd.(Gave chase.)" The crew followed his orders, and soon, the Bismarck and Prinz Eugen gave pursuit to their enemy, with the crew in ready state of alert of unexpected happenings.
-Manehattan Harbor-
The Mane 6 and the Royal Sisters(Celestia and Luna) are waiting in the port of Manehattan. The Elements of Harmony are wondering why they are here, so Twilight asked Celestia.
"Why are we here Princess?"
"Because, if the Canterlot succeeds, then I will gave you, the Elements of Harmony, to meet the captain of our first steel ship, designed specifically to defend our merchant ships."
"Dear princess, I know the Canterlot is a wonderful and magnificent ship. It's design is priceless. I do it actually succeeded on it's maiden deployment, it's first one I should say." Rarity said.
"Oh yes. I do hope also. I want to say formal 'hello' to the commanding officer. It's been a thousand years since I greeted one of our naval officers." Luna summed up.
"I think meeting the naval officer would be awesome!" Rainbow Dash said in excitement.
"Uhm...Girls?" Fluttershy asked them.
"What is it Fluttershy?" Twilight asked back.
"I...Isn't that the Canterlot ?" She pointed her hoof out of the harbor, and the ponies turned their heads to the pointed direction. And sure enough, they saw the metal ship. But what they saw however, was beyond anyone's expectations. The ship has been beaten up, probably by an engagement, and fire and smoke emitting from it.
'Who could do such this things to a wonderful ship?' Celestia thought. But then, Pinkie said something that is not very comfortable.
"Hey girls, what are those way back from the Canterlot ?" The ponies zoomed more, and saw 2 ships making chase on the Canterlot . It was the same ships, and they are supposedly the culprit behind the Canterlot's damaging status. But what they don't know, is that those 2 ships behind it are now planning a devastating plan on the entire Equestrian Navy.
Author's Note
Chapter 3 is out! Well, the Kriegsmarine ships in Equestria will be up to no good. Can the Mane 6 stop them from their apparent destruction?
Destruction of the Canterlot
The German ships is now pursuing the enemy ship, and the crew had been asking or plea the Captain to sink the ship once and for all. The Captain, however, is still thinking about his decision when a crew member notified him.
"Kapitän, der Feind ist nun Verschiebung Richtung Hafen.(Captain, the enemy is now moving towards harbor.)" The Captain took his binoculars and zoomed in front of the enemy ship. In front of it was an actual harbor, completely intact and fully functional. But another thing catches his glimpse of the harbor. 8 miniature horses, the same ones along the shoreline hours ago, is now standing their, probably waiting for the arrival of the subsequent ship. Calculating the distance, he knew the enemy is now 5 nautical miles from the harbor, and he knew he must sink it before it reaches the harbor mouth.
"Ihre Bestellungen?(Your orders?)" one of the crew asked him. The Captain think of his orders for a moment, before answering:
"Alle Kriegsmarine Mitglieder bewegen ihre Beiträge!(All Kriegsmarine members move to their posts!)" Alarm sirens wails on the German ships as the crew darted for their respective battle stations. The Captain then ordered the ships to turn starboard, and the guns trained on the enemy. The crew did as what the Captain ordered, and the gunners loaded AP Shells on the German naval guns. The crew waited for an order to fire, and as a cue, the Captain said:
"Feuer!(Fire!)" The German guns blast away, propelling huge metal bullets towards the enemy ship.
-Manehattan Harbor-
The ponies watch as the Canterlot is making good ground against it's pursuers. Princess Celestia thought that, if the the ship manage to get to the harbor, the chasers would simply give up. However, the ponies watched in shock and in awe as the 2 chasers suddenly changed direction.
'What are they up to?' Celestia though about it, with the Mane 6 and her sister doing the same. However, they found their answer when the 'turtle shells' turns towards the direction of the Canterlot. Few moments later, the ponies heard a loud bang from the 2 ships, with fire and smoke emitted from the 'sticks'. They heard screeching sounds in the air, and turned their heads up, and saw weird metal things falling down from the sky. But what happened next though, will shook the Equestrian Navy to it's very core. 6 of the 16 metal things hit the Canterlot , resulting in a massive explosion.
'No.' Princess Celestia though as the ship buckled, and split into half, shearing and tearing the once pride ship, seeing it sinking beneath the waves. It was now clear to them that these mysterious ships are very dangerous, yet outgunned and outclassed the Equestrian Navy ships. But to their utter horror, the very ships that destroyed the Canterlot is still out there, with their 'turtle shells' still pointed at the harbor.
-Kriegsmarine-
The German crew celebrated as the massive enemy ship exploded, sheared and buckled by it, and sinking beneath the wave without any signs of lifeboats, signifying that nobody survived the massive explosion, probably from the engine compartment. The Captain also smiled, but the Admiral still has his straight face. However, a crew man asked him.
"Generaladmiral, Was soll wir tun jetzt?(Admiral, what shall we do now?)" The Admiral thought for a moment, thinking about his decision. Knowing that he is dealing with an enemy far inferior than them, he gave them the order:
"Eisenbahn die waffe die hafen.(Train the weapons to the harbor.)" The crew man saluted and gave the instructions to the his crew mates. The guns are still trained on the harbor, with the gunners loading HE Shells in the guns. Gunnery Control waited for an order to give the gunners to shoot at. The Germans are ready for action.
-Manehattan Harbor-
The ponies waited in desperate breath, as the 2 mysterious ships still has their 'turtle shells' that 'emit fire and smoke' pointed at the harbor. Seeing this as the protocol for the navy, Celestia ask her faithful student.
"Twilight, can you give me a quill and paper again?"
"Uhm..Yes Princess. But for what?"
"I must give a letter to the Naval Headquarters, and to it's Grand Naval Chief."
"Okay, hang on." Twilight uses her spell to give Celestia what she requested and Celestia begins writing her urgent letter to the Grand Naval Chief. After a few minutes of writing, she seal it with a silk ribbon and gave it to Twilight.
"Please deliver this letter to the Naval Headquarters."
"Okay Princess. Spike, deliver this letter to the Naval Headquarters."
"Okay Twilight." With a green flame, the dragon took off to deliver the letter that Celestia wrote.
-Naval Headquarters-
The Naval HQ is a magnificent building, built during from our modern 18th Century time. The Naval Headquarters has 3000 from the 10000 members of the Equestrian Navy working here, including the Grand Naval Chief, Ironbutt.
Ironbutt is the Grand Naval Chief of the Equestrian Navy for 2 years, being the 5th Naval Chief. He sits on his desk, thinking comfortably that his navy is having a great time defending Equestria. However, a dragon moved up to his desk, with a letter tied with a silk ribbon.
"A letter from the Princess chief."
"Give it to me." The dragon quickly gave him the letter, and he began to read it. What he reads, however, will shook the foundation of his confident world.
"Dear Grand Naval Chief:
Today is one of the most disastrous day of the navy. The Canterlot , our first ironclad ship, has been sunk by 2 mysterious ships. I sent it on a intercepting mission, but those ships damaged it, and when the ship was almost near the harbor, those 2 fired again, resulting in a massive explosion and sinking it, apparently no one survives.
By:
Princess Celestia"
'This is not good.' He though as he rose up from his desk.
Author's Note
Chapter 4 is out! Uh-oh, the Equestrian Navy will be having a hard time. >:D
Proposal, Pursuit, and Surprise
"Everyone! Listen up!" Ironbutt said, getting the attention of the ponies working in the Naval Headquarters.
"Ladies and Gentlecolts of the Equestrian Navy, I have dire news for us all. Today, moments ago, a letter arrive from the Princess, saying that the EQN Canterlot , one of our prestigous ships, has been sunk." A clamor of gasps and disbelieving gossips erupted quickly.
"Silence! Now, as I was saying, the ship has been sunk by 2 mysterious ships. I don't know how do they do it, but we must avenge the Canterlot . Any questions?" One hoof is raised. He pointed at him, and the stallion asked:
"But, if you don't know those 'mysterious' ships capabilities to sink the Canterlot , how are we gonna deal with it?"
"I don't know, all of us don't know, but we must take the risk. Deliver letters to the other ships and tell them to join the pursuit." They were 'aye sirs' and the ponies get back to work. The pegasi delivery team got up and get to work, flying towards the ships that will pursue those lambasting ships. Little did they know, that these ships have outgunned and outclassed their ships with ease.
-Kriegsmarine-
The crew was waiting patiently for an order, but one of the crew member yelled and pointed at the sky. Everyone looked up and see multiple flying horses, scattering in opposite directions. Mistaken for a dive-bombing attack, alarm sirens were sounded, and AA crews darted for their Anti-Aircraft Guns, and firing at the flying horses with all they have got. In the bridge, the Captain and Admiral got notified what was happening in the deck.
'Fliegend pferde?(Flying horses?)' The Captain thought. He would normally see horses in the ground but horses flying in the air is totally absurd. He gave the order for the AA crew to keep firing until all of them were killed, or got scared and go home crying. The crew did as what they have been ordered, and soon, the sky was filled with flak as the crew take out 10 flying horses in a matter of minutes.
'Gut, gut.(Good, good.)' The Captain thought with satisfaction as droves of flying horses were shot down, now rising in about 100. The other flying horses flew around and fly away from the German ships, with the crew celebrating what they did. The Captain and Admiral also smiled, and those horses will now the might of the Kriegsmarine!
-Naval Headquarters-
"They did what?!" Ironbutt shouted in disbelief as one of the pegasus reported.
"Yes sir, they did it. Black things in the sky and shot down most of our buddies. 100 out of the 150 got shot down, and I was one of the lucky 50." The pegasus said.
"I thought they are just mediumly harmful. Now I'm aware that these ships are more extremely powerful and deadly." Ironbutt replied.
"Me too sir. However, we failed to deliver the letters as you commanded as to do."
"That's okay. I shall, with the Princess, pursue those ships and must know their intentions here. Then we could make an agreement with those who commanded those ships."
"As you wish sir." And with that, Ironbutt left the room and started going towards Manehattan Harbor.
-Manehattan Harbor-
The ponies were utterly afraid when they saw the 2 ships firing black things into sky, sending 100 pegasi down. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were the most terrified, thinking that going there with those ships helping the other pegasi would be a folly. The princesses were also afraid, thinking the same thing. However, a voice cut them from their thoughts.
"Your highness, can I speak with you?" The ponies turned around and saw none other than the Grand Naval Chief himself.
"Ironbutt, what brings you here?" Celestia asked him.
"Well, I wanted to give those ships a lesson from sinking one of our prestige ships, but with the reports I'm having, I have no choice but to do diplomatic solutions."
"Well, if that's the case, let me go with you with my sister." Celestia replied. The ponies, not wanting to get the princesses in harm's way, begged her not to, but her decision is final. With another nod of agreement, the princesses and the chief got into a boat and goes sailing towards the 2 dangerous and mighty ships.
-Kriegsmarine-
The Captain and Admiral were having a conversation of what is their next course of action, but a crew member notified them.
"Vorgesetzten, nehmen ein Aussehen diese.(Superiors, take a look of this.)" The Captain and Admiral took their binoculars and take a look on the harbor. Sure enough, they could see a boat with 3 horses in it. They are surprised by the fact, but those horses seemed in no threat. However, one of the crew stated that they want to board the ship. Without any other evidence, it's a coincidence. The Captain ordered the crew to be in state of alert, while allow the horses to board the ship, with some precautions as well.
'I tun hoffen sie nicht sabotieren meine Schiff.(I do hope they don't sabotage my ship.)' the Captain thought as he ordered his men to take up arms for precautions.
-Royal Diplomatic Boat-
The princesses and the Grand Naval Chief has been sailing towards the 2 mysterious ships for nearly 30 minutes, and they could still see the 'turtle shells' with the 'sticks' pointing still at the harbor. But a closer inspection of the ships will get the Equestrian Navy in shock. The very design of the ships is elegant, much wider than the other ships of the navy. Painted in iron-grey, the ships has nice curves on it. But another closer inspection revealed another shocking surprise.
'The hell?' The chief thought as the bipedal beings ran through and back, clad in more stylish naval clothing. Another thing to their note is that they have metal clubs with them, and the 2 bipedal beings had binoculars pointed at them, and they have a black colored cross on their neck.
'What are those?' Celestia thought as they near the mysterious ships.
Author's Note
Sorry for the waiting, but here it is! Chapter 5 sucka! Diplomatic relations? Can the ponies understand German? Stay tune!
As they near the ships, the ponies heard a very strange voice, not knowing the accent they have.
"Lassen sie Aufsichtsrat die schiff.(Let them board the boat.)" In a moments notice, a boat was lowered and 4 bipdeal clad in naval uniforms approached them in the boat. They come even closer, even closer, until in such point that the ponies could really detail their uniform. It was colored blue, with some gold stripes, buttons and they have hats with an eagle attached to something. One of them spoke in a language that they don't know of.
"Folgen uns.(Follow us.)" Although confused of what he said, they soon know because the being say his.....hand back and forth to the point that it's a body language of 'follow us', which they did. As they follow the boat with the mysterious beings, they could see more of the beings in the deck, with their metal clubs, in the deck. They could see, when the boat with the beings got to the large ship, it got pulled up and joined the rest of the team.
'Interesting.' Celestia thought as they got to the large ship. When they got to ship, they got pulled, and when they got to the point when they could see personally up close to the beings and the ship, they are greeted by 2 beings with the same black cross on their neck.
"Willkommen die Bismarck.(Welcome to the Bismarck.)"
'Bismarck? An odd name for an odd ship.' Celestia thought as she, her sister and the chief got to the deck.
-Kriegsmarine-
The crew was shocked when they could see, up close, the horses. One is white, one is dark blue, and the other one is grey on color. But it wasn't a shock to the Captain and the Admiral, they keep their posture and stature leveled up. A few moments later, the one in white color said:
"Hello, could you understand us?" The crew has no idea to speak English, but one hand was raised and said:
"I do miss. Sorry for my comrades, they couldn't speak English. By the way, meet Captain Ernst Lindemann and Admiral Gunther Lütjens, commanding officers of the Kriegsmarine fleet and the Bismarck, with the Prinz Eugen." The ponies, who's body language was very distinctive, was in a very mental shock.
"By the way, who are you?" Like a cue, the dark blue one answered.
"I'm Princess Luna, and this is my sister, Princess Celestia. This is Ironbutt, Grand Naval Chief of the Equestrian Navy. What brings you here, or most importantly, why did you sink one of our prestige ships?"
"Oh you mean the one with the catapult firing mechanism? Sorry, but it's our instincts in the Kriegsmarine or German Navy to sink unidentified or unknown ships."
"But do you know how much it cost us to build us that ship?! It cost us nearly 100 million bits just to build it!" Ironbutt exclaimed.
"Sorry, but ours is much more costly than your Dreadnought type ship. However, I couldn't tell you because it's classified." Ironbutt was about to explode when Princess Celestia interrupted.
"It's okay. I must say, your ships are very unique and advance than ours. Could you lend your blueprints so we could construct one of ours?"
"Sorry, but it's closely guarded secret."
"It's okay. Would you mind telling us what are those black colored cross around the you know on the Captain and Admiral."
"It's called the Knight's Cross, only to be rewarded by the ones with extreme battlefield bravery or successful leadership. I believe Ironbutt here has a similar type, only to be 2nd class to us, the EK II, formally known by us as the Iron Cross."
"What?!"
"Enough! Well, enough with the chit-chat, could you plea the Captain or Admiral to get the ships to Manehattan Harbor so that we could establish a peace relation?"
"Maybe. Let me talk to them." The sailor moved towards the Captain and the Admiral, and is discussing in the rather previous form of accent, in which the sailors could hear and understand, while the ponies cannot. After a few moments, the sailor got to them again.
"Well, the Captain and Admiral both said 'yes', however, you must not touch any of the equipments here in the ships, got that?"
"Well okay." With a thumbs up, the Captain ordered in the accent again, saying:
"Geh zu die hafen und sichern unsere waffe.(Go to the harbor and secure our weapon.)" With a chant of 'Ja', the sailors got to their posts, cannons in 'neutral' mode, and the ships sailing towards Manehattan Harbor.
-Manehattan Harbor-
The Mane 6 saw the boat of the princesses and the chief as they got near the ship, and got towed up to the ship.
"I don't like the feeling of this." Twilight said.
"Don't worry dear. I'm sure they are fine." Rarity secured Twilight's emotion.
"Hey girls?" Fluttershy getting the attention of the other ponies.
"What is it Fluttershy?" Twilight asked.
"T..Take a look of those ships." The ponies turned their heads around, and saw the ships moving towards the harbor, with their 'turtle shells' in some sort of rest mode.
'I don't like the feeling of this.' Twilight thought.
-Kriegsmarine-
The ships got closer to the harbor, with their passengers on board. The sailor, who knew English much, kept them busy.
"So your saying that your country started the war because a man called Adolf Hitler promised you all a 'Third Reich', which would last for a thousand years?" Celestia asked.
"Yes, and we believed. Early in the war, we met shocking successes, and we have high hopes that we would win the war."
"Interesting. Your 'guns' are what type again?"
"You mean the guns of the Bismarck? Well the main ones are eight, 38 cm SK C/34 Guns, while the secondary ones are twelve 15 cm L/55 guns, with sixteen 10.5 cm L/65, 3.7 cm L/83 and twelve 2 cm Anti-Aircraft or Flak guns."
"So basically it's a fortress." Luna said.
"Yes."
"How about the Prinz Eugen?" But before the sailor could answer, the Captain said in the accent that the ponies still don't understand, but the sailor said:
"He said that we are now approaching the harbor, and he and the Admiral could see 6 others of your kinds, in different variations."
"Hmmm.....Well, let's just get to the harbor." Celestia noted.
"Agreed."
-Manehattan Harbor-
The ponies watched as the two massive ships docked themselves in the harbor, with the ponies wondering what is their intent. But then, 3 figures trotted on the deck. It was the unmistakable figures of Princess Celestia and Luna, and Ironbutt. However, as soon a plank was lowered, and they trotted towards them, 3 figures are also with them. All 3 of them wore naval uniforms in blue, with some golden stripes on them.
"What are those uniforms dear? They look fascinating." Rarity said.
"Nicht berühren.(Don't touch.)" One of the beings said. The ponies are dumbstruck. These creatures are talking, and have the capacity to build wonderful ships like the ones docked in the harbor.
"Elements, meet Captain Ernst Lindemann and Admiral Gunther Lütjens, commanding officers of the Kriegsmarine fleet. Also, meet their ships, Bismarck and Prinz Eugen." The ponies are getting a lot more dumbstruck, but are also fascinated with the creatures ships.
"I have a lot of research to do." Twilight said.
"Oh no you don't." Another one said, causing Twilight to back off.
"Now, now Twilight. We shall treat our guests as friends, as such." Celestia proposed.
"Well, at least they couldn't fly." Rainbow Dash boasted. However, the Captain ordered in the accent the Mane 6 couldn't understand, and in a few moments later, a metal contraption flew in the air, getting Rainbow Dash dumbstruck.
"I stand corrected." Dash said.
"Okay now my little ponies, let's get to a restaurant to discuss with the Captain, Admiral with this sailor here." Celestia said.
Author's Note
Chapter 6 is out! Sorry if in this story and the next chapter has no German action, but the other ones(including in land, with Mafia Octavia, which is one of the ideas I have, and gonna suck, just a coincidence) will have the action.
Relations 2 and Mafia's Rampage
The gang got in to the restaurant, with the ponies getting a little curious with the 3 beings with them, but continued their usual business.
"Seat here my little ponies, including you Captain and Admiral. Also you." The gang seated, and began discussing their relations between them.
"Well, now were here, could you please introduce yourself?"
"Well yes. I'm Heinrich Kuhnt, one of the sailors in the Bismarck. Now, what is the formalities with our relations?"
"Nothing much. But from the sinking of the Canterlot , and the threat on the harbor, we must fix it to have permanent peace between us."
"I'm sorry mam, but what's done is done. I have no strife with your kind, but my kind will still have some kind of precautions with relations with your kin."
"I understand, but still we need to-" Celestia was cut of by a grey pony with a pink bowtie around it's neck, and melodic sign near it's butt. Another thing to note that she has a black dress.
"Hello your majesty, I do hope you have something because I will be performing here."
"Ah, Octavia Melody. Sorry, but please sit near us. I have a meeting with our new friends."
"What are your-" Octavia got cut off when she saw 3 beings sitting with the Mane 6 and princesses.
"Ich konnte siehe Ihre schockiert.(I could see your shocked.)" one of them said. Octavia, who was one of the most talented musicians in all of Equestria, knew the language because she visited a place full of that accent, and she replied:
"Vielleicht.(Maybe.)" The beings were also shocked, but keep their posture.
"Sie spielen musik?(You play music?)" another being asked.
"Ja und I spielen die cello.(Yes and I play the cello.)" Octavia replied. "Sie?(Do you?)" The beings stared at each other for a while, before started singing a song the ponies couldn't understand, but no Octavia.
"Well, that's special, although I couldn't understand it." Luna replied.
"Thank you ma'am. We appreciated it." But before anyone(or anypony for the ponies) could reply to the kind statement of Heinrich Kuhnt, the door just flew open suddenly and come out 4 ponies with....guns.
"Put your hoofs in the air and stay down!" The ponies with the guns are not pony police, so they are civilians armed with ones. However, the Captain, Admiral and Kuhnt stood in defiance and said:
"Nie!(Never!)" They took out their Lugers and started shooting at the ponies. Bullets fly by, hitting one of the armed ponies. The armed ponies began to shoot back, and the Mane 6 and princesses hide, while the Kriegsmarine sailors with them(the Captain, Admiral and Heinrich Kuhnt) is still firing, but Octavia was missing. Where did she go? The ponies thought about it while the German sailors still fire back. However, a gun was pointed at the head of Princess Celestia and said:
"If you are killed, then nopony shall stand in our way!" Celestia turned her head, and saw a pony. She closed her eyes and was not ready for this. Is she prepared to die? She was not, and she prayed that a miracle will happen. It did happen, and a single boom was heard, and bullet pierced the head of the pony, killing her. The ponies turned their heads, and saw a single grey pony, with a black hat with a single purple streak on it, having a white polo, a black blazer and a single pink tie.
"I told you not to mess with the princess ever again, did I?" the pony said as she cocked her gun.
Author's Note
Chapter 7 is out! Sorry if it is incredibly short, and sorry for the false message that there is no German action. Well it changed. Also, Mafia Octavia also got added, and some German spirit is also here! Hope you enjoy it!
"Who are you?" Celestia asked the mysterious but familiar pony.
"I will tell it later, but for now-" The pony cut her sentence when she fired another round to one of the ponies. Instantly, the pony got killed by the head, and the mysterious pony cock the gun again. The Germans, on the other hand, saw what happened and was astonished when they saw the mysterious pony, but keeps firing anyway. After 30 minutes of intense gun fire, the armed ponies flee away, leaving the princesses, chief and the Mane 6 astonished.
"I will repeat my sisters question: who are you mysterious pony?" Luna asked the same question. With a heavy sigh, the pony said:
"I'm Octavia. Yes, it's me. But some pony, in this suit, call me Mafia Octavia because I got a mafia of my own, but it's a secret." The pony gasped, but Heinrich asked anyway.
"What caused your life from a musician to a Mafia? Please tell us. It's interesting if it's possible."
"Okay, I will tell it once, and please don't tell it to my friend, Vinyl." With a lot of nods, she now narrates her story.
"It happened 4 weeks ago. I was just performing in a local bar as a special guest to perform with my beloved cello. It was just a typical day for the bar, I was performing, while customers like my music. Then, when it's like another day, 5 armed ponies ransacked the bar. They took the liquor, money, and my cello. I tried to save it, but I was knocked unconcious, but regained it minutes later. For 3 days, I'm in a state of depression. Although I still eat and drink, it's just little. I'm cried for my beloved cello, and I think what I will do next. After those days, I finally reached a decision."
"What was your decision dear? I do hope it's not revenge." Rarity said.
"But it was revenge that was in my mind. I was fueled by anger and the desire of vengeance, so in the next few weeks, I trained on a gun range, and buying my suit, the one for my Mafia and the one for my regular one. After those weeks, I was ready. My first trial of fire is that I got to an abandoned building, and I saw the same 5 armed ponies, chatting how great they are. With some concentration, I jumped to them and I fired my gun, hitting 4 out of the 5 of them, killing them. The last one was completely scared, and I interrogated him."
"What did you ask him?" Twilight asked.
"Oh not that much, although one of my questions, 'Who is your leader?', he answered 'The Flim Flam Brothers'. With satisfaction, I marched out of the building, but not before retrieving the looted goods from the bar and my beloved cello. For another few weeks, I hunted the brothers, going to abandoned buildings, killing those who are a part of it. But it was useless, and the ones surrendered joined me, but I keep a watchful eye on them. After a meeting with them, I decided that my Mafia's name is the 'Black Cello', and all of them agreed. But because of few arms, we raided gun shops, getting all of the guns and ammo, and killing those who are part of the brothers' mafia." There was no reply at first, it was complete silence, before Pinkie said:
"It's a sad story Octavia. I'm sorry for it. Scratch that. We're sorry for your loss."
"It's okay. However, sometimes I also regret my actions of killing the ponies part of the brothers' mafia." But before anyone(or anypony) could reply, Applejack jumped in and said:
"Those brothers a li'l vermints I say! Let's get them!" But Octavia put a hoof on her shoulder and said:
"Don't do what I did before." With a sigh, Applejack nodded. Gunther jumped into the conversation and said in German:
"Tun sie wollen zu kommen uns?(Do you want to join us?)" Octavia pauses for a moment, hesitating for a moment, but with a hand given to her, she replied with a 'Ja', and they, with the other ponies, walk back to the German ships.
-Few Minutes Later-
"Wow." Octavia claimed as she saw the ships. It was beautiful, much more beautiful than she imagined. It was elegantly designed, with different sizes of guns on it. The ponies listened as one of the sailors approached the Captain, with Heinrich and Octavia knew that it was a plane returning from a showcase.
"Octavia, I will ask my colleagues to teach you with our weapons. Would you like that?" Heinrich offered.
"No thanks. My gun is enough."
"As you wish."
"Now, with all those chit-chat, I could still remember when you said that the Bismarck has eight, 38 cm SK C/34 Guns, while the secondary ones are twelve 15 cm L/55 guns, with sixteen 10.5 cm L/65, 3.7 cm L/83 and twelve 2 cm Anti-Aircraft or Flak guns. Is it correct?" Luna said.
"Well yes. And I could still remember when you asked the Prinz Eugen's weapons right?" Heinrich said.
"Yes, and could you please tell us?" Celestia pleaded.
"Alright then, the Prinz Eugen has eight 20.3 cm SK L/60 guns, with twelve 10.5 cm L/65, 3.7 cm and eight 2 cm Flak Guns. She also has twelve 53.3 cm torpedo tubes. Like the Bismarck, she's also a fortress."
"It's interesting. By the way, could you please show me your weapons? I'm very interested in it." Octavia said.
"Well, okay, but don't touch them."
"I won't." Octavia replied, with Heinrich getting the sailors to showcase their weapons.
Author's Note
Chapter 8 is out! Finally a thousand word chapter! Anyway, here's the Secret of Octavia! And also, I think this will be my longest story to date.
Octavia(or Mafia Octavia) waited patiently as the German weapons were brought to her for a showcase. There was different variants of the guns showcased to her, including the one the Germans used in the restaurant fight a few minutes ago.
"What's this?" Octavia asked, pointing her hoof at the almost L-shaped weapon.
"This is the Luger, our most trusted pistol. It has the 9mmP Cartridge, or bullet, in it. It holds 8 rounds if you ask me."
"What's this?"
"This is the Karabiner 98k, one of our rifles. It's using 7.62x57 mm Kauser bullet, and it will hold 5 rounds."
"Okay then. Lastly, what's this gun?"
"This is the MG42 Machine gun, holding 250 7.62x57 mm Kauser Cartridges." This particular weapon peaked Octavia's interest, and she requested to test fire the weapon. With the Captain's and Admiral's permission, she test fires it with 50 glass bottles full of wine.
"Are you ready for this?"
"Ich hoffe, so.(I hope so.)" With a deep breath, she carefully aim the machine gun to the bottles. A few moments later, she clicks on the trigger, and a burst of bullets spew out from the gun's barrel. Bottle after bottle exploded, sending the wine to whoosh to the air. With the last bottle exploding, Octavia stops, excited with this new weapon.
"I like it."
"Glad to hear it." Octavia smiled with delight, knowing that she has new great friends, but a few minutes after the test run, 10 armed ponies sprang up and said:
"Die you sucka's!" They fired wildly, getting the Germans and the ponies of guard. The Germans and Octavia fired their weapons, resulting in a furious shoot-out. In the Mane 6 however, things are not so lucky. They are hiding near a crate, but a bullet pass through Rainbow Dash, hitting one of his hoofs, and she is now bleeding. Luckily, 3 Germans saw this and take the ponies to the Bismarck .
"There's too many of them. Retreat! Rückzug!(Retreat!)" The Germans with Octavia did as what Heinrich said, and they retreated to their ship. With anchors getting pulled up, the ships were fired up and with a smoke, they retreated to the sea, but not before one final defiant action. With at least 10 miles away, the Captain ordered:
"Feuer die waffe!(Fire the weapon!)" With a mechanical sound, the German cannons swung to the harbor, and fired their deadly payload. Moments later, the shells hit their target, sending fire and smoke to the harbor.
-At Sea-
"Ist jemand ganz okay?(Is anyone okay?)" the Captain asked. One of the sailors come up to him and said:
"Niemanden.(Not anybody.)"
"Welche?(Who?)"
"ihre Freunde nennen sie Rainbow Dash.(Her friends call her Rainbow Dash.)"
"wo ist sie jetzt?(Where is she now?)"
"einem unserer Quartalen für die medizinische Behandlung.(One of our quarters for medial treatment.)" Immediately, the Captain left the bridge to the quarters where Rainbow Dash. But there was a problem. There was a lot quarters(or compartments) in the Bismarck . With a long deep breath, he searched the compartments, one by one, but nothing. But then, a howling feminine voice of pain was heard. He listened and moved to the compartment and, when he opened the door, he saw the ponies with Heinrich treating Rainbow Dash. He then ordered them to the bridge, and they followed him.
-In the Bridge-
The Germans in the bridge greeted the arrived ponies, and the Admiral divided them to groups, one in the German and the other for the ponies, with the exception of Mafia Octavia, who is on the other side, the Kriegsmarine group.
"What is this all about Captain?" But without any response, Celestia repeated her questions three times, but received guns pointed at her group, with Mafia Octavia included.
"What in the hay is goin' on?!" Applejack exclaimed in rage in response to the guns.
Author's Note
Chapter 9 is out! Well, take a look of that, a plot twist! From a warm welcome to a betrayal and fire! You know what it is.
-Back at Earth-
German U-Boat Submarine U-505 is on her 1st Patrol in her maiden voyage from Kiel. Her commanding officer, Axel-Olaf Loewe, was commanding ordered to the crew of U-505.
U-505 is a German Type IXC U-boat built for the Kriegsmarine, and was built by the Deutsche Werft AG in Hamburg. It has six torpedo tubes, 4 at the bow and 2 at the stern. It could launch 22 55 cm torpedoes, and has a single 10.5 cm SK C/32 naval gun attached to her. She was a one of a kind vessel, and at her first time, the U-Boats where feared by the British.
"Kommandant, werfen Sie einen Blick durch die Periskop.(Commander, take a look through the periscope.)" The leading commander got to his periscope, and on his sights, was a flicker of white light. The light grew, and it's heading for some reason to U-505.
'Scheiße.' Loewe cursed in his mind as the light enveloped the German submarine, and in a few moments later, it vanished, including U-505.
-Equestrian Sea-
The 2 German ships sailed to the north, as Octavia would describe it, the direction to the Crystal Empire. In the bridge, the group still has a stand-off, with Octavia and the German's still pointing their weapons at the ponies, while the pony group, still reeling from the story of Applejack, continue to have rage in them. However, a sailor break the stand-off.
"Kapitän, Wir haben ein anderer kontaktieren.(Captain, we have another contact.)"
"Identifizierung?(Identification?)"
"noch keiner Kapitän.(None yet Captain.)"
"identifizieren sie noch.(Identify it still.)"
"Ja Kapitän.(Yes Captain.)" The sailor walks out of the bridge, while the ponies are still baffled(except for Octavia) what he meant. Applejack is the first to break long tension silence.
"I HAVE ENOUGH OF THIS!" She screamed in anger, and the ponies were shocked to see a gun hidden in her Stetson hat. She aimed at Octavia, but Octavia returned the stand-off and the Germans still lock their sights on the ponies. Then, one of the sailors said:
"werfen Sie einen Blick Dies!(Take a look of this!)" The Captain and Admiral took their binoculars and look out in the horizon, and to their utter most surprise, they could see a black body with a cunning tower and a gun on it's deck. It was impossible, but it was. It was one of their U-Boats!
"kontaktieren die U-Boat!(Contact the U-Boat!)" The sailors did as what he commanded and starts contact protocol procedures.
-U-505-
The U-Boat U-505 was now drifting in uncharted waters, with it's crew having no idea where they at. Loewe also got dazed by the fact, but then a radio message got to him.
"Bismarck zu U-Boat. Zu U-Boat. Antworten Kamerad.(Bismarck to U-Boat. To U-Boat. Respond Comrade.)" Loewe took the communication radio and said:
"Dies ist der U-boat U-505. Stelle?(This is the U-Boat U-505. Location?)"
"Sie sind jetzt 5 nautische Meilen nordöstlich von uns.(You are now 5 nautical miles northeast from us.)"
"kopieren, dass.(Copy that.)" And with the affirmation, the radio message broke up, leaving the crew what to do next, while the German submarine is still in the surface.
Author's Note
U-505 Is out! For some reason, someone(or somepony) is now disliking my story but it's okay, unless of course for spamming so many dislikes. I also apologize for this short chapter, but it will serve as an introduction to the German Kriegsmarine bombardment of chaos and confusion.
*Pic of a U-Boat sinking an Allied Ship at the story, anonomously*
The German surface ship crews, now aware that one of their submarines is here, got the ship steaming towards U-505. The crew was very happy that one of their submarine comrade is their with them. The Captain and the Admiral were also glad about the turn of events. Meanwhile, the Princesses and the Mane 6 formulate a plan to escape. To escape, however, they must slip the Germans from their watchful eyes, with Octavia with them.
"How are we gonna escape with those beings watching us with Octavia?" Twilight asked Celestia.
"I don't know, and they are very watchful, and I don't know what they are saying or planning." Celestia confessing in reply.
"But there must be ah way!" Applejack said in rage. She doesn't want to be a prisoner, or to be kidnapped again.
"Oh just shut up already! I heard what all of you said you motherbucking piece of buck!"The ponies turned to see Octavia pointing her gun again on Applejack. Her glare on Applejack is now a mix of authority and anger.
"And what? Torture meh?! Ah don't think so!" Applejack exclaimed in rage as she prepares herself to buck Octavia hard. But Octavia was smarter and more agile, and caught the hoof much to Applejack's surprise.
"I supposed you need to calm yourself, do you darling?" Octavia smirked. Applejack has intense rage over her, but for once, Octavia was right. SHE needed to calm down before anything happens. Just then, Heinrich just showed up, and said:
"Okay you guys, go to the deck and see what is outside. Octavia, stay here." The ponies is in deep confusion, but leaves the bridge anyway. Octavia stayed as what Heinrich commanded.
-Deck of the Bismarck-
The princesses and the Mane 6 walk out of the bridge and to the deck of the ship. On the deck, of course, the ponies where utterly in awe as they saw the 'turtle shells' or the turrets Luna said of the massive warship. The 'sticks' or guns are in different sizes. Ironbutt couldn't believe how this beings could build a ship in a large scale.
"I can't believe these beings could build ships in this scale!" he exclaimed. But before anypony could respond, something caught their eyes. In the horizon is a much smaller vessel, and is sleek like the Bismarck and Prinz Eugen , but has some notable differences. First of all, it has a box out of it's main body. Second of all, it's 'gun' is out of the body, not like 'turrets with the guns' of the Bismarck and Prinz Eugen . And lastly, it is black, unlike the colors of the ships, which is iron-grey.
'What are they up to?' Celestia thought, and unknown to her, the beings will now begin a fleet that will terrorize coastal towns of Equestria, and will begin the era of the ponies that will overthrow monarchy with a mix of democracy and dictatorship, and the modernization program the ponies long dreamed of.
Author's Note
'German Fleet is here'. Sorry for the wrongly short chapter that I have, but it will be also a stepping stone for the terrorization, modernization and overthrow.
"What is this?!" Luna also exclaimed. The ponies were utterly confused and dumbstruck, while at the same time have a feeling of rage and hatred for the other group.
"I demand an answer now! " Celestia exclaimed using her old voice, trying to scare them to soften them up. However, the Germans and Octavia stood their grounds, still having their weapons trained on them. Rainbow Dash, on the other hand(or hoof), got extremely angry and decides to charge in, with Applejack included. Their target: Mafia Octavia.
"What's the wrong with you bucking musician turned mafia?!" Rainbow Dash said as she charged for Octavia. But Octavia, who has been trained for body language, mixed martial arts and other stuff, got her gun to her holster and got to a defensive stance. Mistaken as a turning point, Rainbow Dash flew towards her, but instead of pinning Octavia down, Octavia got one of her hoof to stop one of Rainbow's hoof punch, and in exchange for Rainbow Dash, got the same. Rainbow Dash was punched good...and hard, and a few moments later, she is unconcious.
"RAINBOW DASH!" Applejack exclaimed with rage, before turning her eyes again on Octavia.
"Come back here and I will buck you hard!" Octavia just grinned, knowing that Applejack has a dark secret, just waiting to be unfold. She just stand on her position, and Applejack charged at her. Quick in her thinking and her moves, she draws out her pistol and pointed it at Applejack, and Applejack stopped charging at her.
"Oh come now Applejack. Do you really think you have been the Elements of Honesty? Sure you were, until you are keeping a secret from them, do you?" The words hit Applejack like rocks, and the pony group stared at her, while she doesn't return the stare.
"What's your secret dear? Are you keeping that for yourself? Surely there is." Rarity said.
"Ah don't have any secrets. BUCK THIS!" Applejack cursed, and is having a mental breakdown. She is now angry, confused, and with rage.
"Please don't tell your lying Applejack? Tell them, and I will have my fair share." Octavia said, with a smile on her face, with the Germans giving a stern look at the other group. With no other way, Applejack exclaimed:
"All right! Ya win this Octavia. She is right, I have a secret. A dark one ya'll supposed." This caught not only ponies, but the Germans as well.
"Tell them." Octavia commanded. With a sigh of defeat, Applejack told her secret, in a story matter.
"Ya'll know, 10 weeks ago, me, Applebloom, and Granny Smith got kidnapped by some armed ponies. Apparently, there all the members of the Flim Flam Mafia that Octavia spoke of. They hide us in an abandoned compartment, and they did horrible to Applebloom first."
"What's the horrible thing they did Applejack?" Twilight asked.
"Well, let me tell it basically, she got raped, tortured and bullied in our very eyes. Next was Granny Smith, instead of the torture they gave to mah little sister, she was executed." The ponies gasped with shock.
"Applebloom got raped, tortured and bullied?! That's Foal Abuse!" Twilight said.
"Yes it was. Then it was mah turn. But before one of them could take me to his mates, I bucked him and, getting his weapon, I shot him in the head. I was then having one thing in my mind: revenge for my family's sake. I did it, and after having Applebloom out of the building, we returned to the barn. I then realized that I was now, in that day, a cold-hearted killer. I killed my captors without any guilt or any remorse. But without any vengeance for Granny, I decided to train as one, or as a Mafia. For days, I was buying guns, training with them, and buying the clothes suited for me. After that, I go to abandoned building one after the other, and killing those ponies whom I suspected as members of the brothers' mafia."
"It's simply dreadful dear!" Rarity exclaimed. With a nod of affirmation, Applejack continued her story.
"I did the killing of those members for 8 weeks, non-stop, tireless, fueled by anger and hate. One of the building that I searched will changed my life forever." For the next few minutes or hours, Applejack explained her experience, from a regular old farm pony to a Mafia, from meeting with Mafia Octavia to revealing her secret to Octavia. Applejack hang down her head in shame.
"But.....But......But, there has to be a way to stop this!" Twilight said.
"Now now Twi, what is done is done. I can't forgive mahself being a murderous pony. It's inevitable."
"We know that dear but-" Rarity got cut off by Octavia, who is now speaking German to the Captain.
"Kapitän, wo sind wir Gehen?(Captain, where are we going?)"
"im Norden.(To the north.)"
"Aber das ist die Richtung der Kristall Reich!(But that's the direction of the Crystal Empire!)"
"Wir werden Überraschung sie.(We'll surprise them.)" Octavia wondered for a moment what he means, but she know understood one thing: fire the weapon.

Chapter 10 is out! Well, Applejack is on the Mafia? Well, that will not end well? And speaking of which, it's official that the U-505 U-boat Submarine suggested by Punisherfan123 is gonna be in the story! Battleship(with Heavy Cruiser escort) and Submarine action on the way! For Chapter 11: U-505.
The German Fleet, now completely established in uncharted waters they do not know off. The ponies were unboarded first to the shore and resumed their sailing on the waters. The ponies wondered why they left them here.
-Mix-
The coastal towns were being shelled by the German ships. Salvo after salvo, the ships wrecked the coastal towns with fire and smoke. Ships of the Equestrian Navy, deployed to defend them, where sunk by U-505's torpedoes. With panic spreading, the princesses tried to contain it, but the ponies were now raging in anger as they thought the princesses would silence them. After some quick thinking, they decided to join the Germans to overthrow. 5 weeks later, they overthrew the princesses and established democracy, with the Germans declaring 'a new country reborn'. Technologies and magic soon become more advanced, and soon, Equestria was now an industrialized nation.
On the other hand, The Elements of Harmony were now living in peace, although they miss their old selves. The Equestrian Navy got a boost, with the help of the Germans, and the entire navy, under the command of the Kriegsmarine themselves, got iron ships within their service. Guns and other human technologies were soon realized, and soon, the navy has immense firepower, along with the aid of the Bismarck , Prinz Eugen and U-505.

Hello guys! The last chapter of this cancelled to complete story. Please have criticism, because I know this story is a failure. :P Anyways, I'm planning a 'Erwin Rommel' story.
