Atlantis

Operation: Take back Manehattan had failed. Failed so hard, that nopony saw it coming. Like they literally did not see the giant creature that dropped on them. The giant creature, or thing, resembled a mecha standing at about 16 feet, armed to the teeth with rockets and plasma-like guns on the shoulders also with a gatling gun attached to the  other arm. Chuck Norris would have been put to shame if he were in Equestria.

"How?!' Celestia shouted. The reports indicated that her elite guard's won on a hill known as Brazzers. But the victory was short lived for reasons we know. Celestia did'nt though since her scouts left soon after the short battle was won. The recon were only assigned to scout around the city, but nowhere inside. They needed as much information about the enemy as possible. Bits and pieces were not going to do it.

"Well, atleast we know what their forces mainly consist of." said General Cream Top. He was an observant and excellent fighter known throughout the Equestrian military and well respected by many.

"Indeed" General Silent Wave agreed. Silent Wave was known to be very quiet, but very strong. Like Macintosh in a way.

"We have to come up with a new strategy in order to take back Manehattan. We have not heard back from our deployed forces. Something bad must have happened to them."

"Indeed" Silent Wave agreed. Everyone was silent for a good few minutes, thinking about what tactics would be effective.

"I got it." The Princess and Macintosh 2.0 stared at him. "We must create spell bombs and bomb the living tartarous out of them!" Cream Top smiled triumphantly waiting for a response.

"We dont want to destroy the city more than it already is general." His smile did not go upside down yet. He had a plan that could easily help in the war effort and even be integrated into the military permanently.

"Oh contraire princess." She just stared at him with interest. What could he be possibly talking about? the Princess wondered. "What if we find a way to put the spell in a concentrated dose and from there they be put inside a canister of sorts which then could be activated if a soldier were to pull a pin from the top?" Both Silent and Celestia stared at Cream Top.

"That's the most amazing thing i've ever heard in my life." The trio turned their head's toward the entrance only to see General Newham standing there. Newham Gravy was the best of the best, known for his superior tactics. And his tasty lastname. They had to change it since it made most soldiers hungry. It did not really help. Anyways, he arrived at the table they were at and sat down. Princess Celestia saw this as an opprutunity to leave.

"It seem's you three could get this done so im going to leave it to you." Celestia got up and walked towards the door. As she was about to close it, she was met with a question.

"Where to?" Said Cream.

"It's classified." Celestia put on her fake smile.

"But we're your generals" Newham interjected.

"..."

"..."

"I'll leave you trio to think." Celestia walked out and headed towards the castle. To Luna's room.

The chariot landed with a thud onto the ground. Princess Celestia and Luna have arrived at an emergency meeting at an undiclosed location. It's secret you see. Only the drivers who have to take their beloved Prince/Princesses to this area know about it's existence. If they were to tell another soul about it, they would be silenced. And obviously who they told too. Equus is not so innocent now eh?

The two pegasi guards stood there. They knew it was going to be a long meeting. They both stared at the other designated drivers who were talking, sitting while staring at the ground all bored, or playing patty cake.

"Rock, paper, scissors?" One guard asked.

"What's that?" The other guard asked.

"... I dont know" They just stood there in silence. Awkward silence.

Both princesses walked into the room and were welcomed by lots of yellings. Time to get this over with. Celestia thought. The princesses entered the room and soon found every eye on them. It was as if they were in foal school again.

"So were not the only one's" Luna said, finally breaking the silence. The leader of the Griffin kingdom spoke up.

"What in Tartarous are those things?!"

"Those beast's killed my finest soldiers without breaking a sweat!" The Griffin leader slammed his claws on the table. "And what in Faust's name are those huge lifeless machines"

"You mean those tall thing's that controlls the little devils?" The Saddle Arabian king spoke.

"Not those things" He spat in pure disgust. Mostly in jealously ever since he mentioned it to his wife who like her griffins big. And I mean big.

"These things." He threw a paper onto the table, thinking it would slide onto the middle, but failed when it landed an inch away from him. He had enough for today and just wanted to rest so he just slid it until it got somewhat close to the middle. Everyone gasped when they saw a crude sketch of this huge metal thing that looked like it would tower over the other tall aliens.

"It look's something like that. I am a bad drawer. Could be more, could be less."

"More?!" Princess of the Germaney yelled. "What do you mean more!"

"It was all in a blur. Dont judge."

"I'll judge you with my hoof!" She yelled, trying to climb over the table to beat the king up. A couple other leaders restrained her and soon everyone was yelling like in the beginning. Celestia tried to stop the arguments to no avail. She decided she had enough,

"ENOUGH" She used her royal canterlot voice. Everypony turned to look at her with frightened looks on thier faces. Celestia was known to be a loyal, caring, protective, and extremly friendly towards her allies. But to her enemies....

"Look we have to discuss the situation at hoof. I say we work together to try to find a way to become these things friends."

"I'll never become their friends" He literally spat onto the table like Daffy Duck or Sylvester.

"It could have been a misunderstanding. Think about it. How would have you reacted in a whole new world?" This made him think.

"You prove a point I guess" He hated losing. Especially to Celestia. He also lost to Luna in a way that would make him look weak and ruin his macho ego. But that's a story for another time.

"Even then my kingdom is not going to trade or have friendly relations with them. It's bad enough I have to associate with you ponies." He said

"That's racist...no that's... specists!" The Germaney Princess accused.

"Celestia's right. We should work together. Peaceful or not, we must defeat these things!" King of Saddle Arabia sat by Celestia's side. Soon many other leader's did the same thing, until only one remained. Stone Claw.

"Claw. Please. Do it for Gilda." He immediatly looked down. After Gilda lost her only friend, crush, and somepony she practically shared a childhood with took her own life. She had nothing to live for after losing her only hope.

"Fine" He said in gritted teeth. He felt like he needed to take revenge on someone. Anyone. He felt like it was his fault his daughter took her own life.

A servant bursted through the throne room and hoofed a letter to Celestia. Everyone thought the Griffin leader was going to try to be a rebel or something, but instead he actually was leading an assault. Several actually.

"Operation: Turkey in the oven?" Celestia said aloud. A couple of guards stared at her in confusion and some even snickered. She read over the plan.

"Wow. He really put his heart into it." The Princess said under her breath.

"Soldiers. Assemble the royal army. Now."

"Ma'am?"

"Double time" The guards in the room left in a hurry to fulfill their orders. Nopony knows not to argue with the princess.
