The Great Equestrian War

August 26, Equestria, 1942

Speed and his squad landed on the beaches of Equestria they were warmly welcomed in the town's towards the battle field. They marched up into village after village of destruction. The people who lived in the villages must have been evacuated on deceleration of the war,

"Soon they'll be back in there beds and there towns, this war shall be swift," Speed told his comrades.

He believed that the war really would be over by Heart's warming eve, he believed that crown and country would help him through it. They continued to March inland but were advised to avoid Canterlot, the capital of Equestria as the what he called enemy had taken control of. He and his unit travelled south west towards the mild west and soon arrived at a small desert town with a destroyed sign that loosely read 'Welcome to Appleusa,' as soon as his officer read that the sign collapsed. The time was somewhere around 21:39 and they had just arrived. They were told to inhabit the deserted houses. Speed and his squad found a barn they could sleep in. His squad consisted of four ponies; Himself, Bullet, Cloud Kicker and Star Smasher. The barn they were camping in was just on the edge of the town and was partly surrounded by an apple orchard, which grew apples all time of year and at that time there were apples there. Speed suggested to his squad to pick some apples just in case they wanted a quick snack. The average British military backpack was rather large and could fit slot in it. He several apples into it before pushing bundles of hay into the corner of the barn to make what loosely resembled a small bed.

The next morning he was awoken by his commander's trumpet sounding in the middle of the town telling them to fall in. He struggled to get up and awoke his squad and any other soldiers who had spent the night there, wen he awoke there was quite a crowd. After five minutes the town centre was swarming with soldiers from several squads and battalions they had arrived when he was asleep. The town was briefed on the plans.

"Okay troops!" Bellowed a general "Our Intel suggests that the quickest way to the battlefield is thorough the Everfree Forest and that the battlefield is Ponyville!" He continued "Please go and be fed when dismissed, we will step off at 09:00 hours!"

The general walked off into a building after saluting to his soldiers and after being fed the soldiers carried on on there quest: To arrive at Ponyville!
