Chapter 4 The Royal Meeting

(In Canterlot)
Celestia walked into the throne, sitting next to her sister Luna. Since it was nighttime, Luna was sitting on her throne reading royal documents and signing each one after reading it. It was almost six in the morning and it was about time for Celestia to raise the sun.

"Dear sister, how did you sleep?" Luna said tired/eagerly. Luna hopped off her chair as her elder sister went to hers. I yawned a bit as Celestia started to raise the sun.

"Luna, I slept pretty good, just nervous about our visitors that will be arriving today or tomorrow."

"Sister everything will be ok," Luna went and left Celestia in the throne room.

Twilight, and Cadence were getting the castle in order for when their expected guest would arrive. Cadence was setting the banquet hall, helping the maids put the proper silverware and plates in their proper place. Twilight was making sure that everything was perfect throughout the rest of the castle, straightening photos and banners.
It was lunchtime when the princesses all met together in the war room and discussed what was going to happen when their guests would arrive.

"This is a bad idea Luna," stated Celestia. "We can't just kill them, besides you remember what that griffin said? They were unstoppable to them, we aren't going to have a war in my country, just because they are more powerful maybe than us. We should befriend them and learn about them and what they have to offer." Took a sip from the glass.

"But Celestia," Luna Wined. "We need to eliminate the threat now while we have the chance too. They wouldn't see it coming, I promise."

"Aunt Luna," replied Cadence. "We need to learn more about them, I bet they have a reasonable explanation for their actions. Besides when they come, we will make sure to have their magic sticks taken away from them so they will be defenseless. Besides there will be guards everywhere and they will be escorted throughout the castle, NO EXCEPTIONS."

"I agree with Cadence," Twilight blurted out.

They discussed for the rest of the day, the Pink Alicorn won the battle against her aunt. The plan was to befriend them before they made any major move to provoke them . First there was the greetings, then the meeting then dinner, and everything was set. Luna with only having a few hours of sleep because of her night duties was starting to fall asleep in her spot, her head laying on the table. After the meeting was over she got up and ran back to her room and crawled back under her covers and went back to sleep while the other three went back to their original duties until dinner time.
Now all the princesses would have to is wait for Shining Armor to bring these humans to the castle, Celestia had been going over scenarios over in her head as she slowly went to sleep.

(Meanwhile at Fort Kacy)(Earth)

Commander Taylor, was checking on the new recruits and equipment that he'd be sending to Wesker. There were 2 MH-47E Chinooks being prepped and with carrying their payload of a huge metal containers filled with various ammunition and MREs. 2 C-130s were being loaded with armored hummer each, both hummers were stocked with ammunition, also the new recruits were going to be on them.
Taylor stopped the recruits before they headed into the C-130's.

"Ok men, your orders are to assist Wesker and a few of his men. They have an arranged meeting with a country that is on the other side of the portal. Your mission is to protect Wesker at all, to and from the meeting. So Sergeant Brenden Kuhlenberg, I have one question for you sergeant, why are you currently using WW11, German Weapons..."

"Taylor, I prefer these weapons because I love the German weapons they are reliable, plus I grew up with them, also check my credentials and they'll say the same," Brenden said kind of annoyed.

"Hmm very well sergeant , but make sure you have extra ammunition for your weapons, since we don't have any German ammunition here on base at this moment," Taylor said.
"It's ok Commander Taylor, I can adapt." Sergeant had a small crazy evil look on his face, then turned towards the plane and got on.

Taylor looked at Beltway (Hector). "You sure like that heavy armor don't you son, also I believe it is kind of early to be wearing the gas mask." Handed Beltway a UTAS-15. "This is for you, please protect Wesker. Last question, it said you worked high in the ranks of a Private Corporation called Umb.." Beltway put his finger up to his face to stop Taylor, and Taylor nodded.

"Commander Taylor, my past doesn't concern anyone but me at this point. I'm here because of my demolitions expertise." With every step Beltway took a loud clank roamed through the hanger as his metal prophetic leg hit the concrete floor. He went into the C-130 next to Sarge.

Lastly Taylor turned towards Xander Olson, "well son it looks like you're the only the sane one on this team. Please be careful." Taylor walks off.

"Yes sir commander." Olson said as he walked into the plane to see Sargent Kuhlenberg sitting in the Hummer, polishing his MG-42. Kuhlenberg gave an evil grin towards Olson then turned back to continuing to polish his weapons.

Olson sat next to Beltway who was typing on a portable laptop that was attached to his left wrist. Beltway saw that Olson sat next to him so he closed the computer.

"So your Olson, you can call me Beltway," Beltway said shaking Olson's hand.

"You can call me Hitman, as well." .... Looks at Beltways missing leg. "So umm how did you lose your leg?"

"Demolition accident," replied Beltway. "Sorry, but I don't want to go over the details." He put his newly acquired shotgun in his lap and leaned back, never took off his gas mask but changed the filters within a couple of hours.

By this time the C-130s and the MH-47E Chinooks in the air heading towards the outpost where Wesker and his men were located. The pilot said over the intercom ETA 2 hours, go get some rest before we drop you. But it was too late, the men were already sleeping and Brenden had painted faces on Hitman while leaving Beltway alone because he knew that Beltway would defy orders and shoot him where he stood if he tried anything. So Brenden went back to his seat in the hummer and buckled his MG-42 into the passenger seat, then went to sleep.

(At Weskers outpost)
(Wesker)

I sat up in the cot in a dead sweat, "man that was a weird dream." I had dreamt that we went to this beautiful stone castle and met with these rulers and something happened while we were there and next thing I knew we became their prisoners. "No more soda right before bed," I mumbled and got out of the cot and got dressed, I looked at the clock and it read 6:00 A.M. Stomach growled, "hmm time for breakfast," walked out of the tent and went towards the mess hall, I saw the tent with those unicorn creatures still quiet and the guards still at their post and they said hi when I approached them. "Sir if, Shining Armor is awake please send him to the mess hall and I don't believe he'll need an escort since you can see him walk 20 feet to it mess hall," I walked into the mess hall. I was surprised too see that there were only two men drinking coffee, their guard shift was at 7 so they still had an hour before work.

After sitting down eating some of the eggs and bacon off my plastic plate, I heard the tent flap move and saw that the men that were getting coffee had left. I had been eating for only two minutes when one of the marines said that I was needed at the laptop in the communications tent, to have a video chat with Taylor.

(Video chat with Taylor)

"Hello Commander Taylor, how is everything over there?" I asked, while sipping on a soda.

"It's good to see you Wesker, well everything here is fine, but it seems like our little friends are hitting the bigger cities again, those bastards found out that we are weak when we have to reload them..."

"Why not have the second one start about 30 seconds later so when the first one is being reloaded the second one still has ammunition for 30 seconds?"

".... Man why didn't any of us think of that before, Wesker you saved more live," Taylor said happily. "So are you ready to do this meeting thing across the portal?"

"About ready as I'll ever be, also tell me about this new troops that will be arriving in a few hours?"

"Well you have Hitman, who is an excellent shooting record, very decorated marine. Then there's Sergeant Brenden, .... don't ask him about his choice of weapons and please leave it at that... Lastly there is Beltway, I should warn you about him, he worked for Umbrella in the past, I believe that he has other motives to be here other than helping you to and from your meeting so please be careful around him."

"Understood Taylor, and thanks for letting me do this... too bad all my clothes look like shit from all of this."

"Actually Wesker, I've sent you a Generals uniform, since you are representing the United States and also Earth, with this treaty. So please no screw ups."

"Taylor out"

The video chat went offline and I turned around and saw Shining Armor staring at me, as I exited the computer chair.

"Ummm, Wesker who was that you were talking too? Was that your commanding officer?" Asked Shining Armor.

"Well technically yes and no," Taylor is high in my governments military, but at the same time, I am also not really in the military, I am a civilian but I just got promoted to Ambassador so that I can attend the meeting that we are leaving for today."

....."So why are all of these troops following your orders then, " Shining Armor said confused.

"Well to make a long story short, I lived in this now currently destroyed town, I am an electrician. When the griffins attacked I went to the safe room in my house with a friend who was attacked by one of the griffins but managed to get away from them. We fought our way out into the country side killing one of their commanding officers on the way, then made contact with our government and they gave me the abilities to control these marines since we are in ground zero and I know how to maneuver around this town."
The sound of engines started to make themselves known as the two were talking and they walked outside to see the MH-47E Chinooks dropping huge metal containers in rows then leaving. While 2 C-130s dropped their payload high in the air. Two Hummers that were attached to a platform slid out the back of the two planes and once the plane passed the parachutes that were attached to the platform deployed and the vehicles glided down. Sergeant Brenden was still asleep in the Hummer while it floating down towards Earth. The Hummers hit the ground pretty hard, Wesker and Armor saw that something flew up and hit the roof of the Hummer as it hit. After the vehicles were deployed from the plane, two men jumped out of the plane and deployed their parachutes and glided safely to the base. Brandon opened the door and fell out of the Hummer and laid on the ground for a few seconds.

"WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL? YOU GUYS COULDN'T WAKE ME UP...." Brenden yelled.

Beltway walked over to him and helped him up, "we tried but you were out cold," He laughed a little through his gas mask.

Hitman walked over to Wesker, " Corporal Hitman reporting in, sir we are here to help escort you to the meeting place and assist anyway we can."

"Thank you corporal, you might want to clean your face, looks like someone had fun with a pen..." Hitman went the bathroom and cleaned the markings off his face and stared pissed off at Sargent Brenden.

Brenden walked up to Wesker. "Sargent Brenden Kuhlenberg, but please call me Panzer." "Let's kick some enemy ASS."

"Ok"... said Wesker... turned to Beltway, "So you must be Mr. Beltway."

"Yep and please don't ask about what happened to my leg....because it's not any importance to you, I can still my job with this metal prophetic leg just fine.

I was kind of stunned by what Beltway said... Taylor is right, I do need to watch my back. "Ok men we leave in two hours so go get breakfast while I get the rest of team up and running."
I headed in and found Scott and Kevin still sleeping in their bunks and I threw a pack of 200 blackcats into the trash can and quickly put the lid on and stepped out of the tent as they went off. within seconds the two men ran out of the tent and ran into Wesker. They looked up at him.

"Uh what's up Wesker?" Asked Kevin, while he rubbed his eyes.

"Not much private," I said, "we are leaving in exactly in 1 hour so hurry up and grab extra ammo, we are will be heading through the portal and heading to the meeting and see if we can't work ourselves an alliance or treaty. Well hurry up," walks off .
I went to the Hummers and there was a package addressed to me, which was a 2 star generals suit... I found a note and read it

Wesker, this is Taylor.

This uniform is for you when you attend your meeting. Please be careful, your representing the United States and even the world so use your best judgment, congratulations Ambassador Wesker.
Commander Taylor
........

I went back to my tent and changed into the new clothes, I put my rifle and AR-15 on my back and held my 10 gauge shotgun in my hands while my pistol was hidden behind my general jacket. I walked back to the Hummer and sat in the passengers spot, and I wrote a note to Jim to hold down the fort till we come back, which gracefully he agreed.

Shining Armor and his squad left ahead 45 minutes ago to make sure the areas secure which I didn't mind since we didn't want to be late for the meeting.
(Shining Armor)

"Ok men we are close to the Griffin base, let's see if they honor their agreement." So far everything was quiet, not a griffin in the sky. They went into the base and saw that it was packed up and everything was gone, even the dead bodies. "Well at least they took their dead back with them. Private Star Moon", looking at the pony that was last to enter the griffin base. "Go through the portal and ask the guards if the griffins came through with their dead... just to make sure."

"Yes Captain Armor," and she ran out of the abandoned base and into the portal and was gone from everybody's view.

"Everyone spread out, but don't go too far so you don't get lost or if our friends didn't leave in the first place, and meet back here in 15 minutes. The humans will be arriving here soon."

They all went separate directions for a few blocks but after checking multiple buildings and areas they found none. It was about time to head back to the portal, Shining Armor was the first to get back to the portal and noticed that Private Star Moon was back waiting with her spear standing at attention.

"So Moon, what did the guards on the other side say?" Armor asked, as he walked up to her.

"They left 3 hours ago, dead, medical supplies, everything they are going home for a bit." Looking at him directly. "They believe that they are going to come back with a bigger army once they reach their home land."

"Ok private and thank you for your findings, the rest of the squad will be arriving in a few minutes." I walked around the area surveying the damage which most of the buildings were almost completely destroyed. By this time the rest of the squad came back already. "Ok men you guys start heading back to the castle and be careful, I'm going to lead the humans by myself. So when you arrive at the castle inform Celestia and the other princesses that we are on our way."

The squad left Armor as he sat on a piece of destroyed building as he now waited on the humans to arrive on foot. A weird noise became known to Armor and he saw two huge things that hovered to the ground moving fast. His face was priceless, scared shitless.

(15 minutes ago at the human outpost)

"Come on men we need to leave now," said Wesker. "Hitman you drive the army green Hummer and Scott you're the gunner, Panzer you have gunner on the black Hummer, Beltway your driver since this is your personal vehicle, Kevin your shotgun and everyone be safe and try not to shoot any by accident because our new friends aren't probably used to weapons like ours. Extra ammo is loaded in the back of my Hummer, as well as MRES that should last us about a week if something should go wrong." Hops in the passenger seat in the army green Hummer and they take off towards the town.

While heading towards the center of town everyone was surprised they didn't see a single griffin but only the unicorn known as Shining Armor. The new members of my squad didn't know that Armor was there to lead us to the meeting place. I stepped out of the Hummer and walked up to Armor who was shocked to see the suit I was wearing.

"Armor, these men are my bodyguards and we are ready to head to this town called Canterlot..." Me and Armor walked around to the back of the Hummer. "Armor please hop in the back here and we will begin our journey."
Armor hoped into the back of the Hummer and the men drove through the portal. They didn't feel anything as they went passed through the portal. It looked like they were driving on nothing and everything was surrounded by a bluish liquid. A bright light appeared out of nowhere, and as everyone's eyes started to adjust they could tell that they weren't in the united states anymore. This new land was lush with beautiful vegetation, and huge tall trees. After going through the portal Hitman and Beltway stopped the Hummers everyone got out.

"Oh wow this place is beautiful", replied Panzer.

"Yep until someone gets a horn through the chest," Beltway said.

"Hey you two, I take offense to that," replied Shining Armor.

After a few more laughs everyone got back into their original seats and Armor told them where to go. They were making good very good progress as Shining Armor described .

OK, Wesker we need to stop at this small town for a second please, I'd like you to visit my sister Twilight. "

"Fine fine I told Armor, besides I need to stretch anyways. "

Hitman grabbed the radio and radioed Beltway relaying Wesker's orders.
It took fifteen minutes going down the dirt road, we passed a sign that had said welcome to Ponyville, as we got closer to the town we started to see ponies in the distance. The houses were from the medieval time for being made from only stone, wood and straw for the roofs. After going about sixty miles per hour we had to slow down because of all the ponies that stood staring at us while still in the middle of the road.

"Wesker, I'm getting off here so that I can get us a path to my sister's house, so follow close and please don't hurt any of them." I jumped out of the moving thing that the humans called a Hummer. As I got to the ground and got to the front of the humans Hummer . "Please everypony please stand away from the metal objects, we need to get to Twilights house. As the multiple ponies stepped aside from to make room for the Hummers as they followed Armor to a huge tree that a house was carved out of.
The engines cut off and the men got out of Hummers. Each person held their weapon except for Wesker, he had his AR-15 in the truck but had 2 pistols strapped to each leg (hidden of course). They watched as Shining Armor knocked on the door and rushed inside. He came out within a couple of minutes bringing a purple lavender unicorn out apparently it was a mare. Panzer walked up to a pony and started to scratch behind its ears, we all watched as you could see the pink pony enjoyed it.

"Panzer get over here," Wesker said kind of annoyed. Turning to Armor. "So this must be your sister right?"

"Yes, Wesker this is my sister Twilight Sparkle." Twilight was nervous as she realized that she forgot about the meeting in Canterlot.

"Umm Armor," Twilight said nervously, "can I go with you and your human friends to Canterlot, I forgot to leave the other day......"

"Sure", Wesker said. "But you'll have to sit in the back, SCOTT you're in the other hummer for the rest of the trip so miss Sparkle could accompany her brother. " Scott nodded and put his gear into the other Hummer. "Well lets load up and hit the road while there is still daylight left to burn."
As everybody got into their vehicles Twilight was looking at the thing that the humans called Hummers. She followed her brother into the back of the vehicle, and she found out really quick that this was going to be a bumpy ride. Everypony in town watched as the humans drove off towards the great city of Canterlot. We had to go down an old dirt path just to get there. I placed a Five Finger Death Punch cd into the Cd player and Dying breed started to play, Twilight had a weird look on her face as she heard the music but Shining Armor was nodded as he was rocking out with the music.

Wesker turned to Armor, "I take it you like this kind of music?"

"Yes sir, rock and metal are my favorite." Armor said.
While driving down the dirt path, Beltway grabbed a bottle of water and attached it to a special attachment which allowed him to drink without taking his mask off. Panzer was eating a snickers bar and handed one to Scott and he took it and ate it like it was the last one on earth (Very slowly). Kevin was sleeping in his seat with his mouth wide open.

"So Twilight, what is your country's name?" Wesker asked?

"Wesker this is the land of Equestria," replied Twilight. "Our ruler is Princess Celestia along with her sister Princess Luna, but you will all meet them soon."

"Ok Twilight, so how did you bunch of ponies even find about us anyway? I mean we are currently at war with these creatures we are calling griffins. "

She wanted to say that they were scouts for Celestia's army but that would result in a terrible results. So she lied, "we have been watching them closely but what they do in your world, doesn't mean we can break our treaty with them."

"Hmm," said Wesker, I could tell that she was trying to hide something , but what....

It was getting dark, our clocks on our vehicles said 7:02 P.M. and just made it to the outskirts of the city of Canterlot, the castle was still a few miles inside the city. There were guards positioned everywhere and they stopped us. Shining Armor said something to them and they told us to follow them, we were being escorted to the castle.... Kevin finally woke up and looked around to see the change of scenery. The Castle was huge on the outside.

"How in the bloody hell did you guys build this???" Hitman asked.

"Well, Hitman we use magic and we can do all sorts of things with it," said Armor.
Since it was already dark, so that meant almost everypony was inside eating dinner then getting ready for bed. Which made our drive less hepatic trying to get around every pony . But eventually we got to the gates and continue on foot since the vehicles could not go any farther.

"Ok everyone out of the Hummers and take only what gear is necessary," Wesker said. He grabbed his AR-15 and slung it on his back while and everyone else did the same with their guns, Panzer had a hard time since his rifle had no sling and, lucky had a sling, they also put 3 MRE's into each of their bags.

As we were being escorted into the castle multiple guards surrounded us, at least 25 of them. There were Unicorns, Pegasus, and regular ponies. They didn't yell or anything they just stood there holding their spears towards us. The huge entry doors swung open and three tall ponies walked out, each wearing a sort of crown, but these ponies had both a horn and a pair of wings. Twilight walked up to the white pony and gave her a hug.

"Princess Celestia, I'm sorry I'm late but, I'm finally here. " She turned her towards the men and then back at Celestia. "It's getting late should we postpone the meeting till the morning?"

"Yes my faithful student Twilight Sparkle, you are ok, and yes we will postpone the meeting till tomorrow morning." Looking at the humans. "Which one of you are Wesker?" She already knew because of his uniform stood out from the rest of his men.

I stepped forward as she wanted not sure if she was going to kill me on the spot or not. "So the meeting is tomorrow hmmm." I knew my men didn't really want to stay in the castle any longer than needed.

"You each will have a room while you are here but only on one condition," Celestia said. "Each one of you must put all your magic sticks in Weskers room."
The men looked at each other .. magic sticks..... They agreed to the princesses terms and she showed them each a room. The rooms were pretty nice about half the size of an apartment the first room was Weskers, and the humans each left their main weapons in there but they never took off their knives/ machetes and the pistols that were hidden in their vests. Then Celestia showed each of the men to the their rooms. Each of the rooms were a pure white with a golden queen sized bed with dresser and a few photos, each room also had its own bathroom. After all the humans went into their rooms, Celestia went back to Wesker's room and knocked and entered.

"Hello Wesker"

"Oh Hello, Celestia," I was standing, looking out of the window looking at the stars in the clear night sky.

"How are you doing? I'm glad you accepted my invitation, for a while I wasn't sure you'd make the trip up here." I was worried if they would be able to find our little secret.

"Well, Shining Armor proposed that we meet so I thinks it's best you thank him, also he's a pretty nice guy. " I walked over to my pack and pulled the MRE out and Celestia walked over next to me eyeing the brown package that had MRE stamped on it.

"What's a MRE?" Celestia said blinking her eyes confused.

"It's a Meal Ready to Eat, tastes horrible but it gives us the energy we need to keep going."

"Oh ok, wait you guys haven't eaten yet?" Wesker shook his head no as he pulled they dried piece of meat and popped a small piece into his mouth and chewed then swallowed. "Oh ok...." she turned red for a second. "Well tomorrow Twilight, my sister Luna and Cadence will be at the meeting tomorrow. So do you have any questions you would like to ask me?"

"Well Princess Celestia, our whole time we have been here today, I've noticed that each pony has something tattooed on their hind quarters... "

"Oh you mean our cutie marks.. To us it's when we find what we are truly good at. Also you can just call me Celestia." She looked at what Wesker was eating. "Wesker what is that you're eating?"

Looking at the food then back at Celestia, "it's beef stew with some cornbread...." I saw that her eyes widened for a second then went back to their normal size.

"Your an omnivore... Please don't let any other pony see you while you eat, otherwise something bad might happen, meat is the forbidden flavor here as since we ponies don't eat meat."

"Understood completely."

"Last question for the night, Wesker, that man with the metal leg, something feels off with him."

"Yea, he's a man of few words, ... I didn't get to choose my bodyguards for this but so far he's been ok so far. Also don't even try to get him to take off his mask..... he'd rather die than take it off."

"Smiling, well that's good, also you aren't the first humans here four arrived here last week, probably yours, they had that same patch on your shoulder (The American Flag). Well I'm off too bed, we will continue our little chat tomorrow during the meeting.

"Ok night"............ Celestia left the room.

I waited for fifteen minutes and then I got my men into my room and talked to them, she said that 4 humans ... Americans arrived earlier a week ago... and that's all she would tell me for tonight.... So your dismissed. The men left Weskers room and Beltway stopped Hitman and handed him a envelope, then walked into his own room.

(Hitman)

I walked into my room and closed door and opened the envelope a few pieces of paper fell out as well as a keychain.
I picked up the letter and it said:

Dear marine

This is the Umbrella Corporation, Our Business is Life Itself

This is an invitation that we gave our agent Beltway to give to one marine to help him on his true mission.

This is top secret and must be kept silence.

If you choose to help Beltway on his mission, you will be rewarded greatly. There is a keychain, press the button in the middle and it will let Beltway know that you accept the offer.

Thank you for your time.
UMBRELLA CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT

..... I pressed the button not sure if this was a good idea but it was too late after pressing the button I quickly put everything in the envelope and laid on the bed and eventually went to sleep.

(Beltway)

Typing on little pad that was attached to his left arm, a screen appeared saying that Hitman accepted his offer. I smiled through the mask, closed the pad and laid down, the bed made a huge squeaky sound when my metal leg laid on top of it. Changed filters and went to sleep.
Beltway was reporting in to Umbrella so far on his findings.

(Panzer)

"Uhhhh I can't sleep, " I walked over to the window and looked outside. "Man I have a bad feeling about this." 15 minutes later he finally fell asleep.

(Princess Celestia)

All four allicorns stood around the table in the kitchen, each of them were eating a salad.

"So dear sister Luna, how are you right now? "

"Celestia, I'm fine but do you think it's wise to have those humans and their magic sticks inside the castle?"

"Luna, only Wesker has the magic sticks and he promised me that he would not distribute them, until they head to the war room to protect him." She patted Luna on the back. "Remember they are here to make a peace treaty and right now if they find out about the two wigged beats that had four humans in them, we might start a war that will cause a lot of bloodshed."

"I agree with Celestia," said Cadence, "I would like to learn more about them, later Shining Armor was going to tell me all about his trip to the humans world. "

"All right everyone lets all go to bed so tomorrow we will be refreshed for the meeting." Celestia stood up and got out of her chair and walked to her room . The other soon followed.

(Cadence and Shining Armor, their room)

"Cadence, I missed you while I was away." He laid on the bed next to her kissing her cheek. "I see that you held down the castle."

"Well somepony had too while you were gone away on that mission, I wanted to tell you something since you left but, I wanted to let you know that I'm pregnant..." she said nervously.

Shining Armor eyes were wide. "Pre ... pregnant..." It took him a few minutes to register what Cadence told him. "How ... how along are you?"

"Two weeks at least," she kissed her husband and went to sleep. Armor put a hoof around his wife and went to sleep.

The next morning

(Wesker)

It was around 6 A.M. I sat up and looked around taking in my surroundings, right where I was when I fell asleep. I put my uniform on and looked out the window seeing the guards changing posts. I observed them as they moved, and how they acted.

A knock appeared on the door. "Come in." A regular pony came into the room.

"Mr. Wesker, please get your men together and we will leave to the meeting room in 25 minutes."

"Ok thank you mam." I went and woke up my men and told them to meet me in my room. Five minutes later, my men entered the room, I handed them each their gun. "Kevin , Scott you stay behind me, Hitman, Panzer front of me, oh yea Panzer you forgot this yesterday, handed him his STG-44, sorry but I only grabbed the gun and one other clips.

"Thanks boss, I owe you one."

"It's no problem, well let's get too the meeting," he turned to the pony. "We are ready to head to the meeting." The pony nodded and the men surrounded Wesker while Beltway was on Wesker's left side.
As we walked through the hallways, there were ponies everywhere mostly unicorns and regular ponies. There was this little pony that was in the hall and apparently one of his parents pulled him into a room and shut the door. This castle is a maze thought the men. Beltway handed Wesker a little blinking pin.

"Put that in your pocket, Wesker, if somehow we get slip up, we will be at least able to track you." Wesker nodded and put it in his coat pocket.

There in front of us stood two unicorn guards standing besides two doors, the doors were absolutely beautiful, the decor on the doors made it possible to walk past it not realizing that there was a door there. The two unicorn guards used their magic to open the doors an allowed us to enter and then shut them as we were in the room. Hitman and Panzer stood by the door, while Scott and Kevin took the windows and Beltway stood next to Wesker as Wesker sat at a round table. Across the table was Celestia, directly in front of Wesker. To the left stood Luna and Twilight, and on the right side stood Cadence and Shining Armor. (The humans only knew Celestia, Twilight and Armor.)

Panzer looked at his STG-44 then stood at attention, Hitman looked at his SCAR-H also standing at attention. Scott put his M-60 on the floor because of the weight and holding it for a few hours straight would cause exhuastion.

Celestia began,"Hello Wesker, and Wesker's bodyguards, did you all sleep well?"

The men nodded, Beltway pulled a camera out of his duffle bag and started to film the meeting.

"Wesker, what is that your friend has?"

"Celestia, it's a video camera, he's going to tape it for my superiors because they are going to want to see this." She nodded in agreement.

After the proper introductions were finished. The business started when Celestia started to ask questions about the night the griffins appeared. Wesker told them about the whole story how he and Jim survived that night.

Luna was awestruck, "So you with no military experience were able to take out so many griffins."

"Well my dad was in the army, an elite sniper or easier a hunter. Dad taught me how to hunt, stalk, and survive. Jim couldn't be here since he's holding down the outpost outside the portal on our end."
Luna looked at her sister then back at Wesker. Wesker began answering all the questions that he was able to answer.
It was only the third hour of the meeting and a guard busted into the room, all the humans except Wesker, pointed their weapons at the Pegasus pony.

"Princesses the Gri.......... oh shit..." Panzer shut the door so that the Pegasus guard couldn't escape.

"Luna and Cadence put their heads on the table and their hoofs over their eyes. Twilight just vanished into thin air. Celestia thought to herself, "should of really gotten that door locked...." The panicked pony laid on the floor not knowing what to do panicking.

Wesker looked at the scared pony, "please come over here, and you can tell Celestia what you have to say, we can hold up for a few minutes." Looking at Celestia.

"Flash Century what do you have to report?" Celestia started to wonder if he could pull something out of his ear that the humans would believe.

"Princess, the griffins are heading towards the border again.... " He was stuttering very badly.

I wasn't amazed with what the Pegasus said. "Men lower your weapons and let Mr. Century out."
Hitman and Panzer let Flash Century out of the room and closed the door again and locked it. Wesker wrote something in his notepad and showed it to Beltway and then put the note in his coat pocket.

"I'm so sorry, Wesker about the intrusion," Celestria said. "We shall continue with this after lunch."

"Ok, after lunch we shall continue, may I ask if me and my men could eat in the gardens outside, being cooped up inside a little too long for us. "

"Sure, I'll have a guard escort you to the gardens and he will come back when it's time to resume our meeting." Celestia said. I was surprised to see that they wanted to sit outside for lunch.
Wesker and his men followed the guard out to the gardens and then the guard left them. It took only 15 minutes wandering the stone walls to the outside garden. Wesker was glad that they took the guards help, otherwise we'd be lost. The men sat around a small pond and pulled out their MRE's.

"So Wesker, what do you think of all of this so far?" Kevin asked. "I don't have a good feeling about all of this any this."

"Neither do I," said Scott.

"Let's just annihilate them," said Beltway. Hitman agreed.

"Guys, please let's just get this over with because I don't like this either, that guard who came and stopped our meeting was lying the whole time. But we need to try and see this thing through. We have four Americans here somewhere and I'm going to try and negotiate and to get them back." the men were surprised to hear this.
They started to eat their MRE's, and as usual Beltway had some kind of liquidated food he ate through a special tube that was attached to his mask.

They were finishing their MRE's when the same guard came back saying the princesses are ready to resume the meeting.

"Ok, we will be right up there in 15 minutes." The guard left the men alone. Hitman, and Beltway, I would you to hide explosives in the scenery (aka the potted plants) but make sure they are on a remote detonator." Beltway handed Wesker the detonator. "Thanks, and now guys prepare yourselves for a possible fight for your lives."
As the men headed back down the long corridors and stairways, Hitman and Beltway hid several explosives all over the place until they ran out. They walked back into the meeting room and took their same spots.

"So Wesker, did you guys have a good lunch?" Celestia asked. Luna was next to her and Cadence was on Celestia's right, but Twilight was still gone. "I'm sorry but Twilight had to go take care of some things along the Equestrian border.

"Its fine Princess Celestia, since you've been asking me questions all morning I only have a few questions for you if that's ok?"

"It's only fair", said Celestia.

"Ok thank you, ok I heard that there are four humans here that have the similar uniforms but they have this particular patch on their sleeve," shows them the American flag on his shoulder.

"Yes Wesker, they assisted in the middle of an invasion that we had a couple of weeks ago. They were in these flying beasts. They were able to take out all of the enemy's forces within a couple of hours."

"Hmmm, might I ask where they are currently are and if it is possible to speak to my fellow men?"

"Well right now they aren't here now but their winged beasts are still here if you want to check them out?"

"Yes please, we will look at them when we are finished over here. "

The meeting lasted for another 3 hours. In the end Wesker thought it as a total success. The men were thinking it was ok but they were bored. After leaving the meeting room, Wesker and his men went to where these so called winged beasts were located. They found them and they were actually Apache helicopters. There was a unicorn guard there.

"Guard, where are the humans that were in these machines?" Wesker asked.

"They are in the dungeon, but I'm not allowed to leave my spot." Oh shit I said that out loud.

"Why are they in there?" I was starting to see all the pieces fitting together.

"Under princesses orders." Said the guard.....

The men left and went to the dungeon quietly without anypony noticing. The dungeon was actually not scary as one might expect. They went down noticing that most of the cells were empty but there was one cell and there sat four men. There were no skeletal remains anywhere.

"Boy are we glad you to see you, also who are you?" One of the men asked.

"The United States was attacked last week by griffins and we held them off the best we could. " Wesker pulled out his .357 mag and shot the lock on the cell and the lock flew off in pieces.
The men came out of the cell and thanked Wesker and his men. They all went back out of the dungeon and made their way to the Apaches and the crew jumped into their the cockpits and started up the engines, just as Celestia appeared along with about four dozen guards.

"Look at you, you found your men," she smiled. But now you know I can't let you or your men leave."

"I don't understand, but why did you take them. You said they helped you on an invasion and this is how you treated them?" The men in the Apache's got the engines warmed and the rotors started turning and the choppers lifted off into the air. They went off high in the sky awaiting orders. Wesker was pissed by this point and pushed the button on the detonator.

A whole section of the castle blew up and started to crumbling down. While the ponies were shocked in the terror, Wesker and his men ran right past them into the castle. The guards inside paid no attention to them as they were running towards the portion of the castle that blew up.

Right as we made it to the front doors Shining Armor stood there, spear in hand. "Sorry Armor but we are leaving now and no time for goodbyes." Beltways aimed his shotgun at Armor and they all walked past him. "Please don't come back to my world Armor, there won't be any mercy. Your princess Celestia had four of my men in a dungeon for almost 1 weeks........ I'm sorry," Walked towards the hummers.

Panzer was getting into his Gunner position in the hummer when a Pegasus guard swooped down and knocked him into the streets. While Beltway and Hitman got into their hummer and took off in a trail of dust. As Panzer got up looking for his MG-42 and his rifle, realizing that they were in the back seat of the hummer. Pulled out his military issued machete and as the Pegasus guard came around again, he waited for the guard to get close and he swung his machete in the air and it moved for a second as the guard flew into it cutting off the left wing. He cried in pain as Panzer picked up his wing and with some rope tied his back legs together and tied the other end of the rope to the bumper of the hummer. As he got back into the hummer he threw is new prize under his MG-42. The Pegasus was bleeding nonstop, but was losing blood slowly instead of fast.
Meanwhile Kevin was in shotgun seat with his rifle waiting aiming at the guards that were on the roof. Scott was hoping into the driver's seat and started the engine and I (Wesker)hopped in next to Panzer who was enjoying himself as he watched the tied guard start to be dragged down the road.

"Scott stop please," Wesker got out and untied the guard. " Sorry about your wing," hopped back in and Scott put the pedal to the metal.

"Wesker, what now?" Kevin asked.

"I.... I don't know but we need to get our new friends back home with us." Picks up radio "Apache units are you there over?"

"Roger sir, what's your plan for getting out of here?"

"It's the same way we got here, also no weapons for our current time. They are too many Civi ponies here that would get into the crossfire."

"Roger that we'll follow you from here and be your eyes in the sky."

"Roger that."

The men in the Hummer speed off out of the great city of Canterlot with no resistance, which surprised them but they also realized that they blew a huge chunk out of their castle and they are probably trying to rescue their fellow ponies. Beltway and Hitman were nowhere to be seen and I believed that they had a few plans of their own, I would have to ask them when we would find them.
