Lost in Equestria

A few minutes earlier….

As Delta Squad continues to drive further on the dirt trail that leads away from the pavement road Sergeant Foley as well as the others noticed something’s very strange. They noticed that the sky is very clear, it is not usual that they’ve seen clear weather most of their lives but the sky was very clear as if the clouds has disappeared from the sky and most of them have feelings that they’re being watched. Foley’s gonna remind the commander to somehow find a way to detect weather activity since the weather channel is no longer with them.

“Sarge?” Private Dunn asked.

“What is it, Private?” Sergeant Foley replied.

“Do you have a feeling that we’re being watched?”

“What do you man, Private?”

“I know that this sounds crazy but I have the feeling that we are in some dimension that’s not ours and there’s some powerful being is watching our every move we make. The next thing we know the ‘powerful being’ could strike us with a bolt of lightning or send us to the Moon or the Sun for all we know.”

“I was beginning to have that same feeling myself, private Dunn.” Foley replied. “But we can’t be too sure about that especially on that last part, I’m sure there’s a good explanation from all of this.”

“OK Sarge.” The private said and sat back down in the seat.

After five minutes they noticed a mountain several miles away, Foley recalls that there’s no mountains near Frankville or Fort David. Neither of the Delta Squad members even remembered mountains nearby. Then they came across a small town and the convoy stopped, from three miles away a small town is seen, it was a small, quaint civilization. It composed of two to three story buildings. They all were made of wood and plaster, like the houses in the Swiss Alps.

Foley reads the welcome sign that they’ve came across and it reads ‘Welcome to Ponyville’.

“Ponyville?” A soldier said as he read the name of the town on the welcome sign. “What the hell is that Sarge?”

“I don’t know.” Foley answers. “I don’t remember seeing it on the map. In fact I don’t remember hearing about this place at all.”

“It might’ve been a theme park they’re working on, Sarge.”

“That’s impossible, we would’ve received news about the construction of this park”

“Should we check it out Sarge?”

“I guess, maybe we can get some answers around here.” And with it, the convoy continues moving down the trail leading to ‘Ponyville’. Foley is starting to have a bad feeling of their surroundings but he’s hoping to get some answers.

                                                                                        -------

A few miles away…

Two Bell OH-58 Kiowa helicopters took off from Fort David and flew several miles  northwest away. Their communicators were CB Radios, they're all they have since all of their COMSAT and Hi-Tech forms of communications became offline including their GPS satellite systems and have to mark every mile they make on a blank paper they have with them so they can’t get lost.

“Red Hawk 2, this is Red Hawk 1, seen any unusual activity?” Said the pilot.

“Negative Red Hawk 1, no activity yet.” Responded Red Hawk 2 pilot.

For minutes they explored the new territory from the air, none of the pilots recognize any of the landscape, and then they’ve noticed the mountains looked strange, they know about the mountain range as the base’s top pilots and trainees used them for flight practice but not with snow caps on them and they see something on the side of the mountain. One of the pilots takes his binoculars and sees what appears to be a castle on the side.

“Red Hawk 2, are you seeing this?”

“Affirmative Red Hawk 1, looking at the castle right now and I swear I’ve never seen something like this before. In fact I don’t remember that being there; we used that mountain for practice.”

                                                                                       -------

As Delta Squad reached the town plaza it was all deserted, they met the two scouts up ahead on dirt bikes and the convoy stops. Sergeant Foley steps out of the Humvee and approached Mason and Miller.

“Sergeant Foley, here’s the town we came across..” Mason said to Sergeant Foley. “But like I said, it’s deserted now.”

“You two scout ahead and the rest of Delta Team will head east from here.” Foley said as the bikers saluted and got on their dirt bikes and took off. A few seconds later the other Humvee and the truck left as well, leaving the two Humvees, Sergeant Foley and others in the middle of the deserted town.

“Any idea where we are, Sarge?” Dunn asked.

“Nope, no one has. It's weird we're expecting a storm today from the weather satellite yesterday and now...a clear sunny day.”

“Yeah,” Dunn sighed. “I sure hope the locals here are friendly...if they're an”

“I’m sure there are locals around here, it must be some sort of holiday here.” Foley replied.

“Let’s try that place over there.” Dunn points towards a boutique. “I’m sure there’s someone in there.” They both headed towards the boutique. Foley knocks on the door.

“Hello? Is anybody home?” Foley knocks again while Dunn peaked into the window but sees only darkness.

“I can’t see anything inside Sarge.”

“Use the headgear Dunn.” And Dunn switched on the light on his headgear and peaked into the window again but finds no body, nothing but what appears to be dresses of sorts.

“Nope, still can’t see anybody.”

“Let’s head back.” They both headed back to the small convoy of two Humvees

.

“So much for a basic approach,” Dunn stated. “Wonder how's the base keeping up?” Foley radios the base.

“Foley to Overlord, this is Sergeant Foley, over.” Foley said into the receiver.

“Sergeant Foley, I hear you loud and clear.” Overlord replied.“ Any signs of hostiles?”

“Negative Overlord, just a deserted town....” Foley looks around the deserted town. “A girl town to be exactly.”

“We got word from Fort Ripper that Red Hawks 1 and 2 in the air scouting the area. Red Hawk 2 will be heading your way in about five minutes.”

“Roger that, Foley out!” Then the rest of Delta Squad just sat around, knowing that they can’t let their guard down but in a town like this they doubt that anything bad could happen here.

"Fort Ripper?" He thought to himself. "That's in Idaho, how the hell did they be closer to us?" His train of thought is interrupted when a sudden clanking noise was made, they whipped their heads just to see a yellow filly with red mane and a pink bow, it stood there frozen in fear.

“What is it sarge?” Dunn asked.

“It's alright Dunn, just a...I think it's a baby horse...” Foley said as he kneels down and sees the pink bow. “A Filly that is...”

“Where did it come from?”

“Don't know, must've gotten out when no one is here..”

“Hi! Ah’m Applebloom and welcome to Ponyville!” The yellow filly spoke and let out a big smile, it has a southern accent of a young girl. This sudden words from a filly shocked the soldiers.

“Am…Am I the only one who heard that?” Pvt. Jackson asked.

“What?” The filly asked with a confused look on her face. “Is there something on my face?”

“Uhh….no. It’s just that...we never have horses that could talk..” Foley stated.

“Horses? We’re all ponies.” Applebloom corrected him.

“Ponies?”

“Yep and we all live in peace and harmony in all of Equestria.”

“Equestria?” Jackson asked. “Is this some sort of joke?”

“Ah no, Ah don’t think it is.”

“I guess we’re not in Kansas anymore.”

“Kansas?” Applebloom asked with a confused look on her face. “What’s that?”

“What? Oh, sorry. It’s an expression from where we’re from. It just means we’re definitely not anywhere we know or recognize.”

“Oh..” The little yellow filly smiled.

                                                                                     -------------------

"What should we do about the intruders?" Twilight said to the other ponies.

"I say we go out there and rough them up!" Rainbow Dash stated as she hovers mid-air and gives a few punches in the air like a boxer.

"But they look so dangerous and their clothes are so....hideous!" Rarity shouted as she nearly fainted.

"Hey! Where's Applebloom?" Applejack asked noticing her little sister mission. Then she gasps when she saw the door open. "She must've snuck out to see those creatures!"

"Alright, now it's time to give them a little taste of Rainbow Dash!" She stated as she prepares to take off out the door but is stopped when Twilight used her magic to hold her tail down.

"Rainbow Dash, we can't just go and attack them head on." Twilight stated. "We don't know what they'll do."

They watched from the window and sees Applebloom approaching the creatures and one of them kneels down talking to her.

"Um....Twilight?" Fluttershy asked softly. "They don't seem like a threat. In fact, it looks like they're chatting with her."

"Well Fluttershy does have a point.." Twilight said as she sees them talking to Applebloom. "If they were they would've beaten down the door. We should try to greet them"

"Twilight are you crazy?!" Rainbow Dash nearly shouted.

"Rainbow's right Twilight." Rarity added. " There's no telling what they'll do."

"But if we don't, we'll just assume the worst. Remember what happened when Zecora arrived?" She reminded the ponies about the time Zecora arrived in Ponyville and everypony was afraid of her and assumed the worst.

"Twilight's right girls." Applejack said. "Let's go an' greet 'em like kind ponies."

"Alright girls. Let's go." and with it the six ponies headed out the door.

                                                                                       --------------------

"And that's why the meaning 'We're not in Kansas anymore." Foley finished.

"Wow." Applebloom exclaimed. "Ah can't wait to tell this to mah sister."

"Applebloom?" A southern voice is heard. They looked up and see six colorful ponies standing in front of the shop.

"Whoa...One of them's wearing a hat." Private Dunn stated.

"That's mah sister yer talkin' about." Applebloom added.

"Oh..." He muttered. Then the purple unicorn pony approached them. She has a dark purple mane and tail with a pink streak and a eight star tattoo on her flank.

"Hello uh...kind strangers..." The purple unicorn said as she trotted towards Foley and stick her hoof towards him. Her hoof shook a little as she is nervous.

“I’m Twilight Sparkle and welcome to Ponyville.” She said with a smile on her face, Foley gripped her hoof and shook it, it was furry and soft.

“Oh..well I'm Sgt. Edwin Foley of the United States Army Rangers.” Foley said.

“United States Army Rangers? What’s that?” Twilight asked.

“Sounds fancy! Your outfit sure is fancy looking!” Pinkie Pie giggles..

“Thanks…Uh…”

“This is Pinkie Pie.” Twilight added.. “And this is Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Spike…And I believe you’ve met Applebloom.” Applebloom smiles her big and cute smile.

“So….You’re not invading us or anything?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Uh…No..” Foley answers. “What made you think that?”

“Well you just look so intimidating...” Rarity commented.

“:Oh..well just so you know United States Army Rangers protect and serve peace and justice for America and the world.”

“Sounds awesome..” Spike said…

“I’ve never seen anything so..Unusual like…those.” Twilight said as she pointed her hoof at the Humvees and the Army Truck

“So….how did y’all get here?” Applejack asked..

“Well…” Foley began… “It’s a long story…But…”

                                                                                    ------------------

Meanwhile in Frankville….

Bruce Johnston heads outside to inspect his Red Ford Pickup truck. It was a 2009 model with a refitted ‘green fuel’ engine, he had it for three years at least, he remembers the day gasoline became obsolete when ‘green fuel’ is introduced to the public; it had changed America and the rest of the world. It was an amazing discovery for mankind as it begins putting those in production and major car companies have recalled their cars, trucks, and vans to be refitted. Almost all of the cars refitted with ‘green fuel’ are complete for the USA, Canada, the European Union, Israel, Japan, Australia, Taiwan and South America. As he was cleaning the windshield from the inside he noticed something strange, he sees what appears to be a mountain in a far-away distance….

Is that….a mountain he thought?

He has lived in Frankville almost all his life and he has never seen those mountains before. He may be going crazy or could it be the mysterious appearance of this unknown mountain is alongside with the lack of wireless connection of the entire town?

“This is too strange.” He muttered to himself. Then he decide to check it out himself but he’s gonna have to bring a few of his friends along in case they might know, he takes the keys and starts the truck up and heads off to meet his friends.

He got to his friend’s house where they’re having a meeting or something outside in the backyard. It’s probably the strange activities that happened around the town.

“Hey Bruce.” Sean Jones, one of his friends called to him. “You’re just in time.” Sean owns his father’s gun shop in town and is popular for hunting seasons and gun clubs activities.

“I hope it’s something about what’s going on here.” Bruce asked as they both walked to the backyard.

“No actually we’re talking about adding the depth finder on my new boat.” Sean replied.

“What?”

“I’m just messing with you.” He laughs. “Yes it’s about the strange stuff.”

“Well….what do you think’s going on?” Bruce asked.

“Hell if I would know.” Sean answered. “Tommy, Will, Jeff, and the others don’t know either, all of our phones are down, the satellite dishes and internet have no signals whatsoever.”

“And did you guys notice anything else?” Bruce asked the others.

“Um…No, why, did you notice anything?”

“I’m not sure if you’ve seen those mountains before, have you?” Bruce says as he points towards the mountains in a distance for the others to see.

“Wait….since when did we have mountains?” Sean stated.

“That’s what I’m trying to figure out. Frankville doesn’t have mountains in a distance…Something’s amiss and we’re gonna find out.”

“What are you suggesting?”

“We’ll get the vehicles and drive down there to see those ‘mountains’. I got the truck ready so I hope you’re ready too.”

“Not yet, but we’ll get to it right away.” Sean said as he, Bruce and the others prepare the vehicles. Sean brings out his Winchester rifle and a couple boxes of bullets.

“Hey whoa!” Bruce exclaimed as he saw Sean take out the rifle. “Is that really Necessary?”

“If something is amiss we gotta be prepared for the worse.” Sean says as he inspects the rifle before putting it in his 1969 Dodge Charger and also got his .38 revolver as well and hands Bruce his Desert Eagle pistol to him.

“I think you may take this too.”

“Well…alright then.”

“Also take this.” Hands Bruce the walkie talkie. “Since there are no signals, the walkie talkies are our only way to communicate with each other.”

  The others also gathered the guns from Sean’s garage and loaded the trucks. Bruce gets into his truck as Sean gets into the Dodge Charger and the others climbed into the back of his pickup truck and the second pickup truck.

“Follow me guys.” Bruce said as he pulls out of the drive way with the Dodge Charger and the 2006 Dodge truck departs from the driveway and drove down the streets and blocks.

                                                                                 ----------

A few minutes later they manage to get through town and left the City Limits and onto the interstate northeast of Frankville.

“Anything unusual?” Sean asked on the CB Radio.

“Nope, nothing yet.” Bruce responds as they continue down the interstate and come up a small hill. Then suddenly, they drove onto the dirt and the small convoy skidded to a stop. When the cloud of dirt cleared they got out of their vehicles.

“What the hell happened to the road?” Sean shouted as he approached Bruce.

“I don’t know, the road’s supposed to continue up north east and headed to I-67, but…” Bruce said as he walks a couple of feet from his truck and sees dirt patches that leads to an open field.

“….There’s nothing here, there’s no road or anything. I knew there’s something strange around here. First the green flash of light, then the loss of Wi-Fi signals and the strange mountains and now this…”

“So….What should we do next?”

“We keep going, there’s got to be a dirt road nearby.” So they got back into their vehicles and took off in the field, but they didn’t lasted too long as they quickly spotted a dirt trail and they drove onto it and continued to head east.

They’ve drove down the dirt road for almost twenty minutes, the road was a little bumpy but they maintained control of their vehicles.

“This is too strange; I sure hope we’ll find out what’s going on here.” Sean said.

“You said it. I like to know what’s going on here too and get an explanation for all this.” Bruce replied. Then he sees a cow in the middle of the dirt road and slowed down to a stop. Bruce honks the horn twice to get the cow to move but it didn’t work, the cow just looked at him.

“What’s with this cow?” He said to himself.

“Hey, what’s going on up there?” Sean asked.

“Nothing, the cow is in the middle of the road and it won’t move. I’m gonna have to find a way to move it.” Then he gets out of his truck and heads towards the cow, Sean comes up two seconds after him.

“So….how do we get this cow off the road?”  Sean asked.

“I don’t know, I’ve honked the horn at it and it won’t move.” Bruce said. “But there’s got to be a way to move it off the road.”

“Excuse me um are you two referring to me?” A female voice said. They both turned around and didn’t see anyone but the cow.

“I wonder who said that?”

“I did.” The voice said again this time coming from a cow. The two chuckled for a bit.

“I think I’m going crazy or something.” Sean chuckled.

“Yeah, I could’ve sworn that cow just talked to us.” Bruce replied.

“Actually…I did talk to you two.” The cow said again.

“HOLY CRAP!!” They both shouted as they stumbled onto the road, they both staggered back on their feet and they headed towards their vehicles and took off. Driving around the cow and continued down the road.

“What strange creatures.” The cow stated.

“Daisy!” The second cow called out. “Daisy what in Celestia’s name are you doing out here?”

“Well Grace,” the first cow spoke. “These two strange bipedal creatures came in these strange carriages and stopped in front of me.” The two cows headed off the road and into the grassy field.

                                                                                           -------

“….And that’s how we ended up here.” Sergeant Foley said to the Six Ponies and Applebloom who are amazed by his story.

“Whoa, that’s amazing….and strange.” Twilight exclaimed.

“That sounds so awesome!” Rainbow Dash beamed.

“Gosh, that’s sounds so fabulous.” Rarity stated.

“Um…It sounds interesting.” Fluttershy said softly.

“Golly.” Applejack stated. “Ah can’t wait to learn more about this ‘United States of America’ and your ‘hoo man’ history.”

“Do you like throw parties like birthday parties and do you have like cupcakes or anything like that like the parties we throw in Ponyville and Canterlot and they’re like wild and fun and..” Pinkie asked before Twilight stops her by shoving her hoof in her mouth.

“Hehe, sorry about that.” Twilight chuckled nervously. “Pinkie can be a little….energetic.”

“I can see that.” Foley chuckled.

“This would be a good report to the Princess; she would be amazed by this discovery.”

“The Princess?”

“Princess Celestia, the ruler of the Kingdom of Equestria.” Twilight explained. And before she can continue they hear sounds nearby and they get louder and louder. Then they see a Red 2009 Ford Pickup Truck, a Yellow 1969 Dodge Charger and a Black Dodge Ram truck coming down the streets of Ponyville, The Dodge Charger swerves to the left and went around the statue of an Alicorn Princess before coming behind the Dodge Ram truck and stopped.

“What in Tarnation?” Applejack stated. ‘More iron carriages?”

“These are different than the ones we saw.” Twilight said as she sees two of them come out of the ‘iron carriages’ and walked towards them.

“I like the know what’…” He stops as he sees Twilight.

“Is that a tiny horse?” He asked.

“Horse?” Twilight said. “ We’re ponies.” This startled the humans.

“What the..!” He shouted as he fell onto the ground. Then he fumbled trying to draw his pistol out.

“Whoa! Take it easy citizen!” Foley shouted as he sees Sean reaching for his pistol.

“Take it easy!?” Sean shouted. “First there’s that weird green flash of light, then the loss of Wi Fi communications, then a talking cows and now ponies!”

“Sir, you need to calm down and everything would be explained.”

A few minutes have passed by and Sean starts to calm down. Bruce on the other hand is confused than ever.

“So….” Bruce began. “….There’s…ponies here?”

“Sure is, sugarcube.” Applejack answered. “And this is Equestria.”

“Equestria? I’ve never heard of that country.”

“Well…it’s real than you.” The orange mare said again.

“Uh…Right.”

“This is amazing.” Twilight said excited. “This would make a good report to the princess of this new discovery.”

“Well…I think we should get going.” Bruce stated.

“I agree.”  Sean added as he gets up. “We had too many surprises as it is and hopefully there’s no more.”

“Is that so?” A calm feminine voice spoke; they turn around and see another mare, only twice as tall than the ponies.

“I just had to say it.” Sean said weakly as he sees the tall pony approaching them.
