Dogfight Over Equestriaby BlastshotChaptersEnterLive to fight and flyWorms and jets and bombers, oh my!EnterOne early summer morning, the sky was on fire. A blunt way to start a story, but who cares. Now, what I mean by the sky was on fire, is that it was world war two, and there were planes dueling to the death. 5 P-51 mustangs, against 25 German BF-109’s. Sounds absurd, but once, in real life, 16 P-51’s won against 45-50 BF-109’s. Now that we got the ‘BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!’ commenters out of the way, we can end this stupid mini-prologue, and start the story. “Hey, can someone get this guy OFF OF ME?!” Drake shouted through the com to all of his squad. “Don’t worry, deacon, I’ll get em” Rick said, in a discomfortingly calm voice. He broke off of the fighter he was chasing, and lined up his auto aimer with the pursuing BF-109. He fired a few burst of bullets, making sure not to hit Drake. The 109’s wing cracked of, and was sent spinning to the ground. After taking out all of the enemy aircraft, the ace squadron of 5, made up of Rick, Drake, Patterson (we just call him Patt), Henzregsheig (his name is too hard to pronounce, so we just call him Henz), and Jane, flew back to base. at least, that's where they thought they were going. “Hey, is anyone else’s fuel gauge goin’ crazy, or is it just me?” said Patt. “Well, your planes not smokin’, so what could it be?” questioned Henz. “Aw, god, that lights blinding my eyes!” Rick shouted. “Hey, anyone else fell their plane going faster?” yelled Jane. “Ohhh, yeah, im feelin’ it!” said Drake. “Well, maybe its just a strong wind current. Try turning around, then see how fast you’re going.” Patt suggested. The whole squad turned their planes around. “Is it just me, or are we flying backwards?” Jane yelled through the com. There was a huge flash, and they were forwards again. One early summer morning, Canterlot was under raid bye changlings. But this time, they found it easier to take the love from ponies, when the ponies themselves were, ahem, dead. They killed at least 28 guards, leaving 62 injured, before Celestia forced them out. Discord was down in ponyville, and decided to do something good for once. He summoned help. He didn't know what form this help would come in, but he was displeased when all he found once the portal opened, was birds flying in the sky. “Huh, I suppose it was worth a try” he said, and went to have tea with Fluttershy. “Uhhhhh, were the heck are we?” Drake said, in confusion. “I dunno, but I see some jerries down below! lets get em’!” Henz reacted in excitement, and jerked his plane out of formation. “Hey, wait for me!” Jane said in excitement. The rest of the squadron then followed. “ugh, time for cloud busting duty” Rainbowdash moaned. She hated the job just as much as she loved sleeping, though she was good at it. She climbed out of the blankets, rubbed her eyes, ate some breakfast, and got to work. She was sleepy, so she didn't fell like doing it in ten seconds flat. She was moving on to the skies over a small meadow, when she saw some birds flying around in circles, chasing each other. As she metered closer, (ha, see what I did there) she saw fiery balls streaking out of the wings, which weren’t even flapping. She also saw that if the light balls hit the bird enough times, then the bird’s wing would crack in half or it would burst into flames, and plummet to the ground. As she moved even closer, she could see small, peachish colored, sometimes brown, hairless apes. As their machines spinned, twirled, turned, and dove, the hairless apes fiddled with small sticks and pedals. It made loud sounds as bursts of small yellow fireballs whizzed out of the wings. As she flew away as quick as possible, she swore she could have heard one of the apes talking. She quickly flew back to Ponyville, and crashed into Twilights house. “RAINBOWDASH!! I HAVE A DOOR!” Twilight yelled as the window shattered. “oh yeah, BUT THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW! THERE ARE TALKING HAIRLESS APES IN METAL BIRDS SHOOTING FIERY YELLOW BALLS AT EACH OTHER!” Rainbow screamed. “Rainbow, I’m sorry to say, but, you’re drunk.” said Twilight. “No, seriously! I actually saw that with my own eyes! one even looked at me, and said ‘what the heck is that?!! follow me, and you’ll see!” Rainbow proteseted. “Alright, but I still don't believe you” said Twilight as Rainbow flew towards the meadow. She quickly teleported, as to the fact that it wasn't that far away. Twilights eyes went wide as she saw the flames and carnage in the sky. Author's Note This is set before the season 3 finale Live to fight and fly“GAH!!! IM HIT!!!” screamed Patt as fuel leaked out in a dark cloud. Another stream of bullets knocked at him, going straight into his engine. “IM GOIN’ DOWN!!!! Wait, I can land this bird!” Making sure to keep the control stick pulled up at all times, he put out his landing gear, and touched down on the grass. “AHHH!!!! ITS COMING!!!!” Twilight yelled, as both Rainbow and twilight jumped out of the way as the flaming metal bird touched down. It turned until it was broadside to them. “GAH!” Twilight yelped as she jumped behind Rainbowdash. A huge piece of glass slid open and a big, hairless (accept on top of the head as it revealed when it took its helmet of) ape jumped out, coughing and wheezing as smoke flowed out from the glass. “Stupid Plane! Ya take 50 rounds of bullets and you’re already down!” it said as it threw its helmet on the ground. “Wha- What is that- THAT THING!” Rainbow Screamed as it proceeded to kick the metal bird it called ‘a plane’. “Well, I guess its not entirely THE PLANE’S fault” Patt calmed himself. He stopped kicking the plane. It’s burning Rolls Royce engine seemed to have put itself out. He looked into the distance, and saw a Pegasus, and a unicorn, staring at him with wide eyes. He looked back, and screamed “GAHHHAHAHA!!” and jumped into his plane. “AHHHHH!!!!! IT LOOKED AT US!!!!” Twilight screamed. Another plane, this time with a black swastika instead of a star, swooped down, shooting fiery projectiles at them. Both Twilight and Rainbowdash screamed as they pierced the ground around them. The other ‘human’ as Twilight remembered from Lyra’s description of them jumped into his plane, and took off, only to circle around and dive behind the other plane. “Great now another ones joining in on the fun!!!” Twilight screamed as Rainbowdash took off. But Twilight soon realized that the plane with the star on its wing had no intentions of harm, as it shot at the attacker, which then fell to the ground and exploded. The other plane landed again, and the human climbed out, as more planes landed, all with the same stars on their wings. All except three, two with the swastika, one of them which was chasing Rainbowdash, (who was slow because her wing was obviously bleeding) and the other with a star, chasing after the attacker. The swastika plane (which she classified as the ‘bad guy’) fell to the ground. Rainbow stopped her flight, and hovered, and the star plane did a little spin. It then landed. Or, at least she thought it would, as it was shot at. Rainbow heard a scream come from the plane, and blood flew out as it slowly fell to the ground. Out of rage, Rainbow flew over to the cockpit of the last plane, kicked open the glass, and, as she prepared to throw the human out, it said “was der…” which means ‘what the’ in German, but she didn't know that, as the human fell to the ground, screaming.It deployed some sort of cloth, which slowed its fall, which she disposed of by ripping it. She was breathing heavily, hovering over the ground. Then she looked over from on puddle of blood, to the other, the one with her savior. She flew down, with tears of rage in her eyes. She somehow mustered the strength to pick the human up, and get Twilight to teleport him to the hospital. “Is- is it gonna be alright?” Rainbow questioned the doctor. “Well, it got multiple fragments of metal and glass stuck in its body, and it was scorched by massive flames." Replied the nurse “But will it live?!” Rainbow asked frantically. "Yes, it will. In fact, it should be awake right now. We already have Twilight Sparkle questioning it” The doctor informed. “So, where did you come from?” Twilight asked the mysterious creature. “I came from America” it replied. “Are you a male, or a female?” Twilight went on. “I’m a male” “What are you?” Asked twilight. “I’m a human, duh” Twilight suddenly had flash backs of the 37 times she told Lyra that humans DON'T exist. “Uhhhh, just one second, I need to get somepony.” A few minutes later, she came back with Lyra, who was jumping up and down in excitement. “So, how healthy is he?!” Lyra asked. “He just almost DIED, how do you think he is?” Twilight retorted. “Oh”. The rest of the mane six were in the hospital room, Rainbowdash talking to human the most. “Oh, and by the way, what is your name?” Rarity asked. “My names Drake, and could you tell me where I am?!” he said. Just then, Patt, Henz, Rick, and Jane burst in. “WHO ARE YOU AND AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH DRAKE?!?!” Jane shouted, a pistol trembling in her hands. She was just about ready to shoot everyone in the room if she didn't get answers quick. “We ain’t tellin’ ya’ll nutin’ till’ ya tell us why yer’ threatenin’ us with a black stick!” Applejack yelled, ready to fight. Lyra was just silent. “Black stick, huh? well, I’ll show you a black stick!” Jane shouted as she twirled the pistol around one he finger, and shot Applejack's hat off. “So, how could that do anythin’ to us?” the now hatless Applejack said. Jane shifted her aim to the wall, and fired. A huge black mark was left there. “NOW. AS I SAID BEFORE. WHO ARE YOU, AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH DRAKE.” The rest of the squadron then walked in, pistols high in there hands. “Drakes right there, and we nursed him back to health. Now, I think we got off on the wrong hoof, or in your case, foot. please, calm down, and we can-” Twilight was cut off bye the sound of more gunfire, as a bf 162 circled above, firing its turrets at the ground. Luckily it didn't have any bombs in it, but it was still destroying buildings and on the verge of killing somepony. Drake leaped out of bed, and then fell down again. “What are you doing?! your leg is broken!” Twilight shouted. Lyra was still quiet, stunned by the sight of an actual human. “Sorry, its just instinct for me to jump up and get in a plane and shoot down germans” Drake explained. When the rest of the team got into their planes, there was a fighter escort with the bomber, and weird black ponies on the ground trying to kill the civilians. A small child was backing away from one of the attackers. Henz swooped over, and fired streams of bullets, making sure not to hit the kid. By the time he was out of the dive, the black pony was dead. “Lyra, get out here, this is what you wanted to see, humans!” But Lyra didn't move. All she said was: “im not going out there! I could get killed!” She yelled, as two Focke wulf 190s swooped overhead, Heading towards the mustangs. A 190 slipped onto Rick’s 6 o’ clock, which he quikly countered by flipping his plane over, slowing down, speeding back up, and flipping topside again. The 190 tried to out-turn him, but no luck, as Rick’s marksmanship kicked in, and put his plane in just the right direction, and fired. Half of the 190’s tail wing flipped off, as the engine burst into flames. Drake limped out on the crutches twilight fitted for him. He saw something diving for cover in the bushes, but didn't know what it was. He limped over to the bush, holding his pistol in his hand, using his foot to push up the one crutch. It was painful, but it worked. Just as he peeped his head behind the bush, he heard a German say, trying his best to speak English, “Put your hands up!” Drake did so, and, as he did, he looked up, seeing a heavy, but fairly loose branch hanging above the German. He fired his pistol at the branch, and it toppled down on his captor. The German fired several shots from his MP40 submachine gun, but all missed, as drake shot his hand. The German screamed in pain as blood spilled from the palm of his hand. Drake pushed him out, holding a pistol to his head. He found a shovel from a construction site, and dug the prisoner into a wide, deep hole that he couldn't get out of. “10 ft deep. I’ll be keeping an eye on you” drake added After the huge battle was over, the German was Still sitting there, sulking. The men (and one woman) found a jail cell to put him in. The interrogation was to be held at 7:00 PM. For now, it was just time for some socializing. “So, what’s your story? I mean, how did you all get in the army?” Twilight asked. “Well, it all started when my brother enlisted” Drake started. “I was just 17, and my brother was already fighting in Italy. I really wanted to help, but I was too young. So I lied that I was 19, and got in the USAAF as a fighter pilot. Short story” Drake finished. “Well what about you, er…” Applejack looked up at the tall woman, motioning for her name. “Jane, its Jane” she finally said. “Well, there was a draft up for one woman as an experimental fighter pilot program, and I just happened to get drafted in. I fought in the Battle of Britain, and then Went to Italy to help the Americans with strafing runs and air support. I got lost, and ended up land at these joker's base, and-" "And then a hot girl jumped out of the cockpit." Rick cut off. "I'm right here, idiot!" Jane said as she hit him on the head with the back of her gun. "Patt, could you take girl crazy out of the room?" Asked Jane. "Yeah, sure" said Patt as he got up to drag rick out of the room. "And then I joined up with their squadron" finish Jane. "Well, I-" Patt was cut off by what sound like an air raid siron. He heard bangs as he looked outside and saw a bunch of black ponies with holes in them banging on his fighter plane. "HEY! YOU! MY GIRLFRIENDS TAKEN!!" He said as he ran out, all the other pilots running behind the, and then the ponies filing out. The pilots drew their pistols, and Rick started to "negotiate". "Ok, we can do this your easy way, you... things... surrender. Or our easy way, we kill you." Said Rick. Some of them shook their head, and drew for his spear. One even chuckled. One of them spoke up and said "or we could just stab all of you" and started charging towards them. "Well, if you want" said Patt blankly. An array of gunshots were heard, and the attackers were dead. More insect-like ponies approached, this time gripping rifles. And then, a big surprise. Krauts. "HERE WE GO!! Shouted Rick as he dart for his plane covering his head. The rest of the pilots ran for their lives, on the way to their planes killing two Krauts, and then taking off the runway. Five BF-109's screamed across the sky as the sun set. Worms and jets and bombers, oh my!"See anything?" Asked Rick. "No, we've been on patrol for hours!" Complained Patt. "And I need to use the bathroom!" Added Henz. Patt was right. They had been on patrol for hours, and didn't see a thing. After the air raid was stopped, it had been quite, and almost looked peaceful, save for the burnt up wrecks on the ground. "Hey, you guys see a crack sprouting out of the ground?" Asked Rick. "OH! A CRACK IN THE GROUND! MOMMY, COME SA- OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING!!!" Henz screamed, as a giant worm sprouted from the ground. "THAT THING HAS TEETH!!" Shouted Patt. "Well, maybe that's normal here?" He added unsurely. "Maybe, but it's headed straight for a town! Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but gonna kill it!" Shouted Jane. She performed an Immelmann and dived straight for the beast, firing all the way down. Just as she pulled up, a large tendril shot through the air, hitting the aircraft straight at the bottom. "That things armed! She shouted. The rest of the pilots dived for the monster, their Rolls Royce Merling engines screaming as they decended. They did this several times, taking turns. Eventually, Patt and Henz ran put of ammo. "I'm getting sick and tired of missing that thing!" Raged Rick as he dived further in. He hit it, hard, and killed it, but he didn't pull up in time. "Woaoah!" He exclaimed as his propeller shredded into the ground. His plane slid on the ground, basically undamaged, but still torn up. The rest of the pilots landed, with one question on their mind. "WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING!" They all shouted in unison, as Rick climbed out of his plane, deeply embarrassed. "Um, ok, how about we all just forget about this, hook it up on the tow, and just get home, ok? It's almost 7:00, and we should get somewhere to sleep, ok?" They all agreed, and hooked up the hooks they modified on their planes to tow disable ones, and took off for ponyville. Once they made it back, they started setting up shelter. It took them two hours, but they got it set up. "You know you could have just asked for a place to sleep, right?" Twilight stated as she watched the pilots tuck into their wooden tents. "Well, then what was my survival training for!?" Said Patt as he threw up his arms. Twilight led them each to her friends houses. Each house had a spare room, and they were all willing to let them sleep there. --------THE NEXT DAY-------- "How'd ya sleep, Patt?" Asked Applejack as Patt walked into the living room. "Fine, fine" replied Patt. "I'm gonna go check on my friends" he added, before exiting the house. The same happened in each other house, as the pilots met in what they called "not-so-peaceful meadow", where the airplanes were parked. "Hey Drake! Check on the airplanes!" Shouted Rick. "Alright" he replied, as the rest of the pilot filed into the abandoned house for breakfast. A few minutes later, he came in and said "well boys, everyone except me is outa ammo and almost outa fuel" "I thought your airplane was wrecked!" Exclaimed Patt. "Did you know there's magic here?" Said Drake in a slightly sarcastic tone. "Well I guess we won't be fit for co-" Rick was cut off by a wierd poof sound, as he found him and all the other pilots in a castle, standing in front of two regal ponies with Pegasus wings and unicorn horns. "Oh, hi Twilight!" said Rick upon seeing her "It has come to my attention that humans, such as you, long believed myths, have been invading, and in your case, defending equestria. We thank you for this helpfulness, but why have you come here in the first place?" "U-um, w-well" stuttered Patt, dawning upon him that these ponies were royalty. He finally cleared his throught and said "we don't know how we got here. We would very much like to go back, but we wouldn't like to leave you with our war. Doesn't matter though, we don't know how to get back anyways. But we have a slight problem" "Oh?" Stated celestia. "Everyone except me is almost out of ammunition and fuel" cut in Drake. "Don't your contraptions run on magic?" She questioned. "Well, back in our world, things like magic are just simple myths" he replied. "Well how do these machines run?" She asked again. "Well, there's this stuff called oil, you have that here don't you?" Said Rick. Every pony nodded. "Nopony really knows what to do with it" said celestia "Well, our planes run on that! And do you by any chance have copper mines? Or at least tin?" "They were captured in a raid" said the princess. "I'm gonna go teach some random blacksmith how to make bullets" said Drake, exiting the room, taking a bullet from his ammunition round, within an hour, 10 blacksmiths knew how to make bullets. They even built a machine to make them! But within an hour, the conference was over. --------TWO HOURS LATER-------- "They upgraded our ammo rounds! We have 30 seconds worth of ammo now!" Exclaimed a very excited and almost healed Drake. "And scouters found an ammo factory out near some cheap knockoff of Manhattan!" He added. Their ammo was restocked, their fuel replenished, and they were ready for action. And then, out of nowhere, two B-17F Flying Fortresses appeared flying away from enemy lines, getting marauded by enemy fighters. "SCRAMBLE!" Shouted Rick as everyone including Drake, darted for their planes. As they took off, they wondered whether the bomber was captured, or was a friendly. "WoOOooAH MY GOD!" Shouted Rick as a speedy object sped straight over his cockpit, only after being shot at. And it wasn't Rainbowdash flying for her life. It had two long engines hanging under its wings, yet it had no propellers. The back of the engines glowed a blue aura. It resembled a... flying... cylinder. They broke formation and Rick took command. "Drake, you get up there and see if they're friendlies. Jane, chase off those scouts trying to draw our attention from the bombers! Patt and Henz, protect the bomber if Drake confirms it friendly! If it's an enemy and all this attack the bomber thing is just an axis hoax... blow it back to Berlin!" He commanded. The bomber was confirmed friendly, and Jane went chasing two BF-109's. Then the object came again. It blew one of the bombers surviving four engines, and kept wreaking havoc, taking out the tail gunner. "Jane, Patt, go take on that... penis thing... while me Henz and Drake take out the remaining 109's, ok?" Rick commanded "Alright, let's go Patt." Replied Jane, as they dived after it. They managed to keep airspeed with it in the dive. They fired away, evtually hitting the things engine enough times that it exploded, taking the planes wing with it. It burned to the ground as the pilot parachuted out. The remaining fighters were quickly done away with, and the bomber landed in not-so-peaceful meadow. The pilots landed with them as the bomber taxied to the side. Author's Note Ha, ha! Cliffhanger! Sorta... Thanks to greviousrommel for suggesting the ME-262! And thanks to flyingtigers40 for telling me about the problem with ammo supply!

Live to fight and fly“GAH!!! IM HIT!!!” screamed Patt as fuel leaked out in a dark cloud. Another stream of bullets knocked at him, going straight into his engine. “IM GOIN’ DOWN!!!! Wait, I can land this bird!” Making sure to keep the control stick pulled up at all times, he put out his landing gear, and touched down on the grass. “AHHH!!!!

Now, I think we got off on the wrong hoof, or in your case, foot. please, calm down, and we can-” Twilight was cut off bye the sound of more gunfire, as a bf 162 circled above, firing its turrets at the ground. Luckily it didn't have any bombs in it, but it was still destroying buildings and on the verge of killing somepony. Drake leaped out of bed, and then fell down again. “What are you doing?! your leg is broken!” Twilight shouted. Lyra was still quiet, stunned by the sight of an actual human. “Sorry, its just instinct for me to jump up and get in a plane and shoot down germans” Drake explained. When the rest of the team got into their planes, there was a fighter escort with the bomber, and weird black ponies on the ground trying to kill the civilians. A small child was backing away from one of the attackers. Henz swooped over, and fired streams of bullets, making sure not to hit the kid. By the time he was out of the dive, the black pony was dead. “Lyra, get out here, this is what you wanted to see, humans!” But Lyra didn't move. All she said was: “im not going out there! I could get killed!” She yelled, as two Focke wulf 190s swooped overhead, Heading towards the mustangs. A 190 slipped onto Rick’s 6 o’ clock, which he quikly countered by flipping his plane over, slowing down, speeding back up, and flipping topside again. The 190 tried to out-turn him, but no luck, as Rick’s marksmanship kicked in, and put his plane in just the right direction, and fired. Half of the 190’s tail wing flipped off, as the engine burst into flames. Drake limped out on the crutches twilight fitted for him. He saw something diving for cover in the bushes, but didn't know what it was. He limped over to the bush, holding his pistol in his hand, using his foot to push up the one crutch. It was painful, but it worked. Just as he peeped his head behind the bush, he heard a German say, trying his best to speak English, “Put your hands up!” Drake did so, and, as he did, he looked up, seeing a heavy, but fairly loose branch hanging above the German. He fired his pistol at the branch, and it toppled down on his captor. The German fired several shots from his MP40 submachine gun, but all missed, as drake shot his hand. The German screamed in pain as blood spilled from the palm of his hand. Drake pushed him out, holding a pistol to his head. He found a shovel from a construction site, and dug the prisoner into a wide, deep hole that he couldn't get out of. “10 ft deep. I’ll be keeping an eye on you” drake added After the huge battle was over, the German was Still sitting there, sulking. The men (and one woman) found a jail cell to put him in. The interrogation was to be held at 7:00 PM. For now, it was just time for some socializing. “So, what’s your story? I mean, how did you all get in the army?” Twilight asked. “Well, it all started when my brother enlisted” Drake started. “I was just 17, and my brother was already fighting in Italy. I really wanted to help, but I was too young. So I lied that I was 19, and got in the USAAF as a fighter pilot. Short story” Drake finished. “Well what about you, er…” Applejack looked up at the tall woman, motioning for her name. “Jane, its Jane” she finally said. “Well, there was a draft up for one woman as an experimental fighter pilot program, and I just happened to get drafted in. I fought in the Battle of Britain, and then Went to Italy to help the Americans with strafing runs and air support. I got lost, and ended up land at these joker's base, and-" "And then a hot girl jumped out of the cockpit." Rick cut off. "I'm right here, idiot!" Jane said as she hit him on the head with the back of her gun. "Patt, could you take girl crazy out of the room?" Asked Jane. "Yeah, sure" said Patt as he got up to drag rick out of the room. "And then I joined up with their squadron" finish Jane. "Well, I-" Patt was cut off by what sound like an air raid siron. He heard bangs as he looked outside and saw a bunch of black ponies with holes in them banging on his fighter plane. "HEY! YOU! MY GIRLFRIENDS TAKEN!!" He said as he ran out, all the other pilots running behind the, and then the ponies filing out. The pilots drew their pistols, and Rick started to "negotiate". "Ok, we can do this your easy way, you... things... surrender. Or our easy way, we kill you." Said Rick. Some of them shook their head, and drew for his spear. One even chuckled. One of them spoke up and said "or we could just stab all of you" and started charging towards them. "Well, if you want" said Patt blankly. An array of gunshots were heard, and the attackers were dead. More insect-like ponies approached, this time gripping rifles. And then, a big surprise. Krauts. "HERE WE GO!! Shouted Rick as he dart for his plane covering his head. The rest of the pilots ran for their lives, on the way to their planes killing two Krauts, and then taking off the runway. Five BF-109's screamed across the sky as the sun set.
Worms and jets and bombers, oh my!"See anything?" Asked Rick. "No, we've been on patrol for hours!" Complained Patt. "And I need to use the bathroom!" Added Henz. Patt was right. They had been on patrol for hours, and didn't see a thing. After the air raid was stopped, it had been quite, and almost looked peaceful, save for the burnt up wrecks on the ground. "Hey, you guys see a crack sprouting out of the ground?" Asked Rick. "OH! A CRACK IN THE GROUND! MOMMY, COME SA- OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING!!!" Henz screamed, as a giant worm sprouted from the ground. "THAT THING HAS TEETH!!" Shouted Patt. "Well, maybe that's normal here?" He added unsurely. "Maybe, but it's headed straight for a town! Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but gonna kill it!" Shouted Jane. She performed an Immelmann and dived straight for the beast, firing all the way down. Just as she pulled up, a large tendril shot through the air, hitting the aircraft straight at the bottom. "That things armed! She shouted. The rest of the pilots dived for the monster, their Rolls Royce Merling engines screaming as they decended. They did this several times, taking turns. Eventually, Patt and Henz ran put of ammo. "I'm getting sick and tired of missing that thing!" Raged Rick as he dived further in. He hit it, hard, and killed it, but he didn't pull up in time. "Woaoah!" He exclaimed as his propeller shredded into the ground. His plane slid on the ground, basically undamaged, but still torn up. The rest of the pilots landed, with one question on their mind. "WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING!" They all shouted in unison, as Rick climbed out of his plane, deeply embarrassed. "Um, ok, how about we all just forget about this, hook it up on the tow, and just get home, ok? It's almost 7:00, and we should get somewhere to sleep, ok?" They all agreed, and hooked up the hooks they modified on their planes to tow disable ones, and took off for ponyville. Once they made it back, they started setting up shelter. It took them two hours, but they got it set up. "You know you could have just asked for a place to sleep, right?" Twilight stated as she watched the pilots tuck into their wooden tents. "Well, then what was my survival training for!?" Said Patt as he threw up his arms. Twilight led them each to her friends houses. Each house had a spare room, and they were all willing to let them sleep there. --------THE NEXT DAY-------- "How'd ya sleep, Patt?" Asked Applejack as Patt walked into the living room. "Fine, fine" replied Patt. "I'm gonna go check on my friends" he added, before exiting the house. The same happened in each other house, as the pilots met in what they called "not-so-peaceful meadow", where the airplanes were parked. "Hey Drake! Check on the airplanes!" Shouted Rick. "Alright" he replied, as the rest of the pilot filed into the abandoned house for breakfast. A few minutes later, he came in and said "well boys, everyone except me is outa ammo and almost outa fuel" "I thought your airplane was wrecked!" Exclaimed Patt. "Did you know there's magic here?" Said Drake in a slightly sarcastic tone. "Well I guess we won't be fit for co-" Rick was cut off by a wierd poof sound, as he found him and all the other pilots in a castle, standing in front of two regal ponies with Pegasus wings and unicorn horns. "Oh, hi Twilight!" said Rick upon seeing her "It has come to my attention that humans, such as you, long believed myths, have been invading, and in your case, defending equestria. We thank you for this helpfulness, but why have you come here in the first place?" "U-um, w-well" stuttered Patt, dawning upon him that these ponies were royalty. He finally cleared his throught and said "we don't know how we got here. We would very much like to go back, but we wouldn't like to leave you with our war. Doesn't matter though, we don't know how to get back anyways. But we have a slight problem" "Oh?" Stated celestia. "Everyone except me is almost out of ammunition and fuel" cut in Drake. "Don't your contraptions run on magic?" She questioned. "Well, back in our world, things like magic are just simple myths" he replied. "Well how do these machines run?" She asked again. "Well, there's this stuff called oil, you have that here don't you?" Said Rick. Every pony nodded. "Nopony really knows what to do with it" said celestia "Well, our planes run on that! And do you by any chance have copper mines? Or at least tin?" "They were captured in a raid" said the princess. "I'm gonna go teach some random blacksmith how to make bullets" said Drake, exiting the room, taking a bullet from his ammunition round, within an hour, 10 blacksmiths knew how to make bullets. They even built a machine to make them! But within an hour, the conference was over. --------TWO HOURS LATER-------- "They upgraded our ammo rounds! We have 30 seconds worth of ammo now!" Exclaimed a very excited and almost healed Drake. "And scouters found an ammo factory out near some cheap knockoff of Manhattan!" He added. Their ammo was restocked, their fuel replenished, and they were ready for action. And then, out of nowhere, two B-17F Flying Fortresses appeared flying away from enemy lines, getting marauded by enemy fighters. "SCRAMBLE!" Shouted Rick as everyone including Drake, darted for their planes. As they took off, they wondered whether the bomber was captured, or was a friendly. "WoOOooAH MY GOD!" Shouted Rick as a speedy object sped straight over his cockpit, only after being shot at. And it wasn't Rainbowdash flying for her life. It had two long engines hanging under its wings, yet it had no propellers. The back of the engines glowed a blue aura. It resembled a... flying... cylinder. They broke formation and Rick took command. "Drake, you get up there and see if they're friendlies. Jane, chase off those scouts trying to draw our attention from the bombers! Patt and Henz, protect the bomber if Drake confirms it friendly! If it's an enemy and all this attack the bomber thing is just an axis hoax... blow it back to Berlin!" He commanded. The bomber was confirmed friendly, and Jane went chasing two BF-109's. Then the object came again. It blew one of the bombers surviving four engines, and kept wreaking havoc, taking out the tail gunner. "Jane, Patt, go take on that... penis thing... while me Henz and Drake take out the remaining 109's, ok?" Rick commanded "Alright, let's go Patt." Replied Jane, as they dived after it. They managed to keep airspeed with it in the dive. They fired away, evtually hitting the things engine enough times that it exploded, taking the planes wing with it. It burned to the ground as the pilot parachuted out. The remaining fighters were quickly done away with, and the bomber landed in not-so-peaceful meadow. The pilots landed with them as the bomber taxied to the side. Author's Note Ha, ha! Cliffhanger! Sorta... Thanks to greviousrommel for suggesting the ME-262! And thanks to flyingtigers40 for telling me about the problem with ammo supply!
