After Twilight's use of dark magic in the Crystal Empire, she quickly becomes intrigued by it. She decides to study it a little more, but what she doesn't know is that it has a long-term effect. It slowly begins to take over Twilight's mind over time. To when she first used it, to when she became princess. It finally corrupted Twilight when her castle appeared out of thin air. She then had the urge to completely take over all of Equestria. As this "disease" slowly takes Twilight's mind, driving her mad, she assembles an army of Unicorns and Pegasi. Twilight decides she needs her army to be better equipped. She needed more than swords, she needed something more....

Prologue: So It Begins

Ponyville, Equestria

Twilight had her army ready, she had a band of loyal soldiers ready to do her bidding. These ponies wanted to see a change in Equestria, they were sick of the Tyranny of the Twin Sisters. I mean sure, they can run hella quick, they kinda have to living in Ponyville, always running away from new crap. They had it with Celestia and Luna when THE LIBRARY BLEW UP! If anyone's qualified to rule Equestria, wouldn't it be the pony who was getting them out of crap like this? Not the ponies who just SIT on their fat plots, eating cake. While all of Ponyville is running for their lives, Celestia is probably relaxing, taking a bath or some crap.

The problem with this "army" was that they weren't even an army at all; they were a damn militia. Twilight had all the equipment they needed, swords, armor and crossbows. They just didn't know how to use any of it. Most of these ponies were just simple farmers or bakers. They had no idea what they were getting into. These guards were training all their lives to serve and protect the princess. Hell, I'd bet none of these damn ponies ever even held a weapon, let alone use it! That's why Twilight needed to find somepony who was smarter, who could make something more advanced.

As soon as Twilight considered this, she looked for some sort of spell to help with her endeavors. She ordered the royal guard to take her to Canterlot so she could use the library. Although she doubted it, she looked for something there; but to her avail, nothing. Twilight need some, "professional" help, but no one could know what she was planning. If anyone found out, her cover could be blown, and Twilight couldn't have any of that crap. She had to get Discord.

Twilight didn't think that Discord would tell Celestia or Luna, but she had to be sure. So she was basically going to kidnap Discord, hold him against his will and press him for information. It does sound a bit extreme but there's no room for error! The question is, how is she going to get him? She couldn't use Fluttershy, she would surely tell, right? Maybe she should just ask to see him, yeah, that's a good idea.

Twilight had invited him over to her castle the very next day, hoping her plan would work. What she did was set up a trap in one of the chairs. When Discord sat on it it would activate, due to his weight. The best part was that he couldn't use his magic because she used some dark magic to dispel his magic. As soon as she was done checking everything out, there was a sudden flash of lightning, a small explosion and confetti. "Discord is in the building folks!" said an obnoxious voice that Twilight simply despised of.

"Ya know, you're the last person that I can think of who would invite pretty old me to tea."

"A-ha, um, yes Discord, that's what I thought as well" Replied Twilight sheepishly, was this really a good idea? Oh well, no backsies now! "Discord, please take a seat!" Twilight mentioned as her had motions to the booby-trapped seat.

"I don't mind if I do Twilight, I'd never imagine you to be so hospitable to me of aAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!" thump

"Well, the floor wasn't supposed to break, but I suppose that works too...." Said Twilight.

"GET ME OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW TWILIGHT! I'M STUCK! I-IS A TRAP?"

"Maybe!"

"Okay Discord, you just have to do something for me, and you won't have to feel too much pain"

"Wait, PAIN? What in the world is going on Twilight?!"

"I just need you to, uh, how do I say this, kidnap someone from another dimension. Yeah, that sounds about right."

"Princess Cele-"

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PRINCESS!" Screamed Twilight, good thing these walls are sound-proof.

"And what ever will you do if I say, I don't know, SAY NO TO SUCH A STUPID IDEA?!" Twilight then pressed a button causing saws, knives, and generally prickly things to fall down on Discord.

"I'LL DO IT!"

"Thought so, now, I've used some dark magic to-"

"DARK MAGIC?!"

"DON'T INTERRUPT ME!"

"Okay, okay!"

"Now, as I was saying, I used some dark magic to find someone I want to bring here, his name is Albert Wolffe or something stupid like that, just bring him here now, got it?"

"Yes, yes, of course Twilight, just allow 2-3 business days for you're arrival" Discord chuckled.

"I'm not playing Discord, give him to me NOW!!!"

"ALAKABAM!" Discord replied as there was a large puff of smoke and embers inside. When the smoke cleared out, there was an extremely odd thing standing in the middle of the former smoke cloud. It had some weird things on it's legs, it was only on the hind legs though. The problem was the front legs, those were HIDEOUS. There were five sticks on it's hooves, all connected to it.

"Thank you Discord, you've served me well" Twilight then blasted Discord with a powerful beam of dark magic, instantly killing him.

Chapter 1: The Arrival

Berlin, Germany November 15th, 1943

It was another day in Nazi Germany for Festungsoberwerkmeister Albert Wolff. He had been working at a Nazi weapons factory for 3 years now. He knew everything there was to know about German weapons. His quick-wit and desire to support the Nazi's without fighting in the war had him sky-rocketing in his career. He didn't only know how to assemble a weapon, he knew how to fire it. He served in the first world war as a soldat. He served the whole war, leaving as an oberleutnant. He was quick to join the Nazi forces, leaving for the factories in 1940 after his squad was left without ammo in a French offensive, he ended up leaving the war as a Major.

Albert's job was to supervise the less-experienced workers. He was the one to train them, make sure they made the guns and ammo correctly and to make sure they didn't mess up the machinery. He was also the one to fill out accident reports, machinery failures and malfunctions. He signed all official documents sent to the factory. The one thing he didn't like about his job however, was that he was the one everyone complained to. He's heard everything there is to complain and whine about. Oh, there isn't enough pay! We never get any time off! We work too many hours! He could go on, and on and on about it for days. As Festungsoberwerkmeister, Albert was required to always wear a satchel with blueprints for everything produced in the factory. Those blueprints including the Kübelwagen, MP40, Luger P08, MG42 and the Gewehr 43, among other things.

After a 13 hour work day, Albert decided to go home. He lived quite a few miles away, in the "nicer" parts of Berlin. He was very well off for himself. He worked for 84 ℛℳ an hour, which was amazing considering the other workers. He usually had to drive for about one hour to get to and from the factory. Today, however was not one of those days. The traffic was horrendous! In fact, it was so bad that it took him three hours to get home.

He had a fairly nice home, it had two floors, 3 bed and 2.5 bath. His house was nicely furnished as well, or at least that's what Albert thought. When he finally got home, he was exhausted. He had to deal with some annoying worker that was demanding time off because his wife was pregnant! I mean, what is that! Albert kept telling him, and telling him no and giving him reasons why he couldn't but he still kept complaining and complaining about it. He did get his time off though, he did get it. He had the rest of his life off of work. I mean, his wife hasn't even been pregnant for one month! He had a war to fight! Albert had no time to deal with these things. It was simply outrageous, but he knew he had to deal with these things when he signed up.

Albert took a right at the second door to get to his bedroom. He wasn't a simple man, per se, he just enjoyed sitting on his couch, relaxing. One of his favorite pastimes was watching TV. Although there weren't many channels, he loved it. Although it's mostly been war propaganda now-a-days. Albert didn't even care if he was still in his work clothes. He just shuffled his way to his bed and just let himself fall into his mattress. It's good winning a war, especially if it's not your life on the line!

Albert was having a very strange dream, there were ponies everywhere! They also appeared to be sentient, as crazy as that sounds, but hey, it's a dream. It was as if he was in some sort of medieval town. There were no roads, the streets didn't have signs and there were no cars. There was no kind of industry at all! No factories, no distilleries nothing like that, nothing at all. It was nothing like Germany, it was simple though. It looked easy enough to live in, everything was so... simple. As if so many basic things weren't researched, such as STREET SIGNS!

It seemed as if no one (or no pony?) noticed him, or could see him for that matter. It was as if he didn't even exist. He even considered being a ghost. Man, how cool would that be! In fact, he tried going through a wall, but alas, he face-planted into wall. Instead of blindly walking into a wall, Albert stepped back and looked at the sign on the building. There appeared to be a cupcake on it. Upon stepping back further, he could see that the building actually looked like a cake. Damn, this is one hell of a dream, that's for sure. Albert started to wonder if it actually was a cake, I mean, it was a dream. He stepped up to the building and tried to taste it. Just then, Albert realized that he just tried to walk into this building. On the bright side of things, he was able to confirm that this was indeed, a building. Albert decided that it must be a good idea to go inside the building and check it out. Now that he was definitely, 100% sure it was a building, he entered it. He tried the door first, obviuosly. He tried and tried, putting as much force as he could, but the door wouldn't budge. After that he left it alone.

The world around Albert started to fade away. When Albert started to get up, he couldn't see well, everything blurred together. Everything was similar to his dream though.... He heard some unknown voice "Where do you want us to put him, princess?" Some other voice, which appeared to be feminine replied "Take him to-" Albert started to drift in and out of consciousness. Everything started to blur together, voices, sounds, surroundings everything. Albert didn't like it at all, that was, until everything went black and he couldn't think.
