Equestria appears on Earth with evil-intentions, sadly humanity ain't havin' any of it.

Bombs Away!

Satellites first picked up energy displacement in the Southern Pacific ocean, a few hours later a continent; smaller than Australia appeared. It was only few years since the Cold War ended and everyone was on high-alert as soon as it appeared.

The next day, the US Naval Base in San Diego picked up radar contacts approaching from the south, causing the Naval vessels there to fill the harbor and ocean around it. Aircraft also filled the sky, soon heading towards the radar contacts.

The aircraft; while keeping their distance observed the unknowns and relayed their findings. To put it basically, myths were flying towards the city. White Pegasuses flew through the air while wearing golden armor which was a pain to look at when it glinted in the sun. They carried spears, swords, and other medieval weaponry, much to the entertainment of the pilots when they got discovered easily outmaneuvered them with ease, besides one that had a rainbow trailing behind it.

They also seemed to be escorting a carriage made out of solid gold, how they were able to keep that in the air was far beyond them. A pilot was even able to get a photo of them up close; the with shocked expressions of the creatures were priceless.

Soon after the small airshow the creatures were able to get close to the city, only to almost get hit by a flack shell. They seemed to get the message and back off… for a while. The fighters were able to guide the carriage to the Naval base, as soon as they landed they were swamped by military personnel armed with the good old M16.

The white horse was able to calm things down, asking to meet our leaders and saying they come in peace; this only made the soldiers want to blow their brains out because of the movies they watched about aliens saying the exact same thing and trying to destroy humanity soon afterwards.

A few weeks later ‘Princess Celestia’ as the ‘Ponies’ called her was able to get a meeting with Ronald Reagan, hoping to set up trade and other political bullshit I don’t care for. Another Princess called Twilight Sparkle wanted to read up on human history and was able to get some books.

Things went smoothly for the first few months, then the Celestial Bitch as I like to call her wanted to make an announcement to the human world. All around the world humans gathered around their TVs to listen to it. All they got was the Princesses bitching about how humanity was impure and needed to be converted into peace loving ponies using a potion.

Much to their disappointment and shock humanity turned them down, this only angered them and forced a purple shield to cover the island. Yeah that’s right, they didn’t even acknowledge it as a continent, instead calling it an ‘Overgrown Island’.

Afraid war was coming, the United States began stockpiling on weapons. Up in Alaska, Elmendorf Air Force Base was receiving B-52 bombers for if war did break out they would be ready!

It only took 5 weeks before Japan and Southern California was attacked, ponies dropped their ‘potion bombs’ (the ones that survived) on the cities of San Diego and Tokyo, only for the potions to have no effects on humans; this also made the workforce that kept the cities clean know they were about to have a bad day.

The ponies were shell-shocked on how their potions hadn’t worked, as soon as the reports came in the B-52s were already getting in the air!

_*M*_*M*_*M*_*M*_*M*_

“Go fish…” Said a young human male. He was sitting at a round table, along with three others who were playing the classic game of go fish they found it as a way to kill time until they got the go. They didn’t wait much longer as their commander ran into the door, causing to slam open.

“Get to your feet! We have orders to meet up in the debrief room!” they quickly put their cards down and rushed out of their seats. Running out the door they made their way to the debrief room. Once there they sat down along with the other B-52 pilots, later their commanding officer came in and have them the details.

“Listen up! We have just received reports of Equestrian Squadrons attacking Tokyo and San Diego! We have received orders to attack Equestrian cities, they did not specify the targets so I guess you can hit whatever the bomb falls on.” the old experienced officer looked around the room, making sure the inhabitants were paying attention. He wasn’t surprised to see a few of them to be sleeping or not paying attention at all. “Now, you will have a fighter escort. Your bombers will be filled with an assortment of bombs, as well as the wings in some areas. I don’t care what you attack, just send a clear message to these big-head equines.”

_*M*_*M*_*M*_*M*_*M*_

Soon the bombers were in the air, taking up a close formation the bombers took off towards the shield. It took hours for them to make it, and some of the pilots and crew legs were numb from the flight. Turning towards the shield they easily passes through it, its purpose was lost to them.

Either way, it was a quiet night over ‘Manehatten’ as the ponies called it. Ponies walked around the streets heading home or just out for a stroll. However a lone Earth Pony mare walked through the park, looking towards the clear sky. The moon gave a soft purple glow from the color of the shield. She wished that the shield wasn't there, she wanted to see the moon as it was. As she continued to watch the sky she noticed the strange bird formation approaching from the ocean. The more she looked at them the more clearer it became they were not birds.

_*M*_*M*_*M*_*M*_*M*_

“We are above the city of Manehattan, opening bomb bay doors.” said a man, the doors opened with a mechanical whine stopping with a clank. He reached over to a switch then flipped it, the bombs fell from their holders. Soon more bombs fell from the sky as the other B-52s dropped their loads of 500 to 750 pound bombs. They screeched as they raced towards the ground, angling themselves downward. Gravity doing the work caused them to fall faster, the ponies however hadn't taken notice yet.

That is until they touched the ground. Huge pockets of explosions shook the city, orange fires raised up from where the bombs had detonated. Building were reduced to rubble in an instant, the inhabitants killed from just the shockwave. The explosions following in large lines, each being close to each other in a single direction.

Skyscrapers were torn to pieces, destroying the floors causing them to become unbalanced. They later fell from the damage they had sustained, unable to hold their weight.

Ships that had been docked along with warehouses were turned into splinters of wood. Ponies jumped into the water, nearly avoiding the bombs that destroyed their vessels they once sailed on. Some ran around in panic, making them easy targets for falling bombs as they seemed to sometimes group up and run in a single line.

Soon the bombardment stopped, ending as soon as it came. It the span of a few seconds a majority of the city was reduced to rubble and fire. Foals that survived cried out for their mothers, a cry that will never be answered. Ponies crawled their way out of the rubble, some perishing before they could even be pulled out by others.

Many began to cry and weep from pain and loss. The streets were filled with bloodied bodies and craters, carriages that once transported ponies were piles of wood and iron.

In the sky the bombers turned back towards their base, heading home after sending a clear message to the Equestrians.

“You pissed off the wrong species.”

Hoofington was hit soon after, by three waves of bombers. The entire city was destroyed with casualties being somewhere in the thousands. Soon after; Canterlot was hit as the bombers faced resistance, but the ponies ‘magic’ only seemed to dissipate when they hit the frames of the aircraft. The city soon collapsed after six waves, causing it to become a pile of rubble at the base of the mountain.

An invasion fleet was already underway, but Equestria soon vanished from the Pacific, out of fear of another ass whoopin’. Humanity however just went about their lives, acting like it never happened. To the ones that had bombed the cities however, it was a good fireworks display.

The Other Side

Time To Go to the Other Side!

Golden Quill, a young unicorn mare awoke from her sleep from an eardrum busting explosions, she threw the covers off her bed and made a run for the window. Grabbing the curtains with her magic she forcefully pulled them apart, a fiery orange glow filled the room. Outside, large fires raged across the city as ponies ran in random directions in panic.

Before she had to question what was happening, an ear piercing whistle-like-screech rand through the air, followed by another group of explosions. Her window exploded into shards of sharp glass, a large piece cut through her right cheek as smaller shards embedded themselves into her flesh. She cried out in pain, as blood slowly began to leek from the new wounds that had made their mark.

Her mind was thrown into a daze, falling on her back she covered her muzzle, this only caused the glass to sink deeper. She gave another cry in pain, tears began streaking down her bloodied cheeks. More screeches began to became audible as explosions tore through the air.

Her apartment complex shook from the force of the pressure waves. Meanwhile outside, it was chaos. The once peaceful night was broken by a torrent of bombs and roaring engines of metal beast that flew through the air, dropping their metal shells of death. The shells rocketed towards the ground on their own weight before slamming into whatever had been unfortunate to be under them.

Buildings were turned into rubble in a near instant, their windows shattering before fire raced out of the new found cracks in the structure. It's inhabitants would have been lucky just to have died from the shockwave itself, for if they hadn't they would have been bathed in fire or crushed by the building as it collapsed.

Streets had large craters punched into them, the explosion picking up concrete and dirt before throwing it skywards. Unfortunate skyscrapers that had been in the way of the onslaught were torn from the bottom up by bomb shells, causing them to collapse under their own weight, killing those who had gone to the "Prometheus School of Running Away From Giant Falling Objects".

A brown stallion that actually had some common sense ran to the side of the falling skyscraper, as he ran the ground shook as the skyscraper hit the ground, sending dust and derby everywhere. Taking cover behind a building that was (mostly) intact, the dust swarmed through the streets like water in a river. Leaving no square inch of space uncovered.

As he stood there, more ponies ran down the streets, coughing up the dust that was getting sucked into their lungs. He couldn't see anything past his muzzle, his sight gone he used his ears and hooves to guide himself around the obstruction. Only a few seconds in and bombs were falling on him, as he began to run he slammed into a wall. Trying to push out of his daze he was picked up by a shockwave from an explosion before thrown across the street.

Slamming against a wall his legs gave a loud crack before he fell to the ground, yelling in pain he looked back to his back legs to find them bent in a way they shouldn't. He laid their on his stomach, in pain as his nerves refused to let off the onslaught. Soon the bombardment stopped completely.

Golden Quill slowly got back to her feet... er hooves, she made her way back to the window. She looked across the once proud city, only to find a ghost of one. The statue that once in the harbor of the city was gone, replaced by a flaming pile of steel. She began to sob, not out of pain, but of what they had lost.

_*P*_*P*_*P*_

Princess Celestia was not having a good morning, reports had come in about the attack on Manehatten. The damage was catastrophic and death toll was high, how could she have been so blind?

She had a unicorn test magic on humans while in America, his notes said they had no effect. She ignored it as a possibility that the U.S. had captured him and was feeding false information. She should have listened and took Equestria back to it's homeworld, she didn't and now she was paying the price. She would return now, if she could. The magic needed for such a feat would take days if not weeks of charging.

Knowing the humans history proved that this wasn't going to be the last of the attacks, so she sent Twilight Sparkle to gather the energy needed in the Everfree, it's chaotic energy may be the only boost that they have to getting it done faster. She hoped she would be safe there, safe enough to cast the spell.

You may ask, "Why does Celestia hate humans so much?"

It's jealousy, humanity has been around a shorter time than ponykind and they have advanced for more quickly than any other species known to exist in this or any universe. Wherever you looked in the multiverse, you would see humanity. They were the like a plague, a vast majority of the multiverse supported them. Some more powerful than others, some more violent that others. Even the Combine feared them, targeting weaker ones than the stronger ones. Knowing that they too were only a small fish to a much bigger beast.

How this came to be was a mystery, but she new one thing.

She chose the wrong universe, next time she would try to convert one that actually had magic in it. That is if there will be a next time.
