A Tiger in Equestria

Midnight found herself getting tired from reading the insanely long text that had described human history in an extremely high detail. The only reason why she was still awake was because of some Zebradican beverage called Coffee. She took another sip of brown liquid and resumed her reading. Her only comfort was that the darned thing was nearly over.

World War II

This was the last major event that Schmidt knows of. He was in fact teleported here during this war. He had said that there was a major crisis in 1929, refusing to talk about it further. He said that the event allowed for a man named 'Adolf Hitler' to rise to power in Germany. This man had transformed the previous 'Republic' into a one-party dictatorship, and he declared that Germans were the superior race above all. He aimed for the annexation of previous German lands at first. He had massively increased the army, way beyond the limit imposed by the previous 'Treaty of Versailles', after there was not much resistance, he proceeded to occupy the 'Rhineland', another breach in the 'Treaty of Versailles'. He then used the uniting of Germans as an excuse for the annexation of German-speaking areas. He annexed 'Austria', the 'Sudetenland' and half of 'Czechoslovakia'. When he invaded 'Poland' a response was finally found from 'Britain' and 'France', but Germans used advanced tactics (that Schmidt also refused to tell me about) to crush the Polish, within a few years they had conquered 'Norway','France','Yugoslavia'. But then 'Adolf Hitler' decided that they didn't want to defeat 'Britain' and instead focused on the 'USSR' whom he tells me the full name is 'Union of Soviet Socialist Republics' Which ended in an absolute disaster. The inclusion of another major power the 'USA' or 'United States of America' did not help, and by the time Schmidt was teleported there were going on the defensive.

Midnight breathed a sigh of relief as she finally finished the extremely long report, deciding to get some sleep before the aliens arrived to Canterlot.

Mirror watched as the metal contraption with it's rumbling rolled past. She could hear what she assumed to be the alien with his his supposed head, judging from what she thought was its eyes. But then again, these were aliens, who know if they had fifty eyes or something. With her transformed form, she walked up to one of the guards escorting the metal contraption. This was a bat-pony, which were a rare sight around Equestria.

"What is this thing?" The bat-pony seemed to notice her uneasiness.

"Oh, this is apparently a tank. Theh thing standing at the top is called a human and his name is Schmidt.'

"Where did they come from?"

"Nopony knows. Would you mind, I need to get them to their rooms."

"There are more than one?"

"Yes. There is a total of five humans. Only one speaks Equestrian though." Interesting.

"Why are they here?"

"They're here for the wedding." This will be very useful.

"I'd better not intrude you further."

"It's no matter. Most ponies are reluctant to even talk with us Nocturns. It's nice to have someone to chat to."

"Oh, thank you."

Mirror trotted off to a side street while the bat pony continued alongside the 'tank'.

I need to report this to the Queen right now! With that in mind, she began sending her telepathic message to the Queen.

Midnight seemed terribly scared, but she seemed like she was very interested in what I had to say. I'll have to admit, she's been one of the most accepting ponies i've met so far.

"So, why are you not immediately suspicious of me like the ponies?"

"Oh, it's the fact that we Nocturns are somewhat isolationist, so we aren't that surprised towards new things we've never seen, and we aren't quick to judge." Or ponies are xenophobic, racist idiots with a highly illogical distrust towards anything that is not a pony. Ironically, they run around peaching shit like Harmony and Friendship. We do the same but we don't rub Harmony and Friendship into everyone's faces. They're also fanatic towards their rulers. Wait we do the same, never mind.

"You're outperforming the Equestrians already." She looked a bit more comfortable and she had what looked like pride on her face.

Pale Midnight could barely suppress her emotions. An alien, from another world, with secrets that deemed them so important as to be equals to Princess Luna herself, had essentially deemed Nocturns as superior to Equestrians! This bolstered her confidence and she had a weird thought about writing this on a sign, and parading this around the entirety of Equestria.

"Why thank you, it's a high compliment coming from you."

"I'm just stating the facts."

Deciding that he had opened up enough to her, she started her mission.

"So, what is that thing you carry all around?"

Already trying to pry into my secrets eh? I don't believe there will be much harm in telling you the name of it at least.

"This is a Luger, it's a weapon we created that would be compact enough to be used in a moment's notice, compared to some of the bulkier stuff we have."

She was elated at the ease in which the human had responded to her question, even giving her the reason for why the item was designed! She would not let her fellow Nocturns' faith in her be misplaced. As she was assigned to arguably the most important of the aliens, she felt a responsibility to her country to do her best.

"Huh, what sort of bulkier stuff?"

Oh I see where you're going with this, information extraction? She has been friendly so far, and nothing bad will come out of this if she just knows the names of things.

"Well, there's the STG-44." I went over and picked up the STG-44 lying on a desk. "This is meant as an all-purpose weapon. A jack of all trades. It's good at everything, but not extremely good at anything. You should see some of the more specialized stuff we have."

Pale Midnight had nearly jumped for joy at the ease at which she was prying information off of Schmidt. She felt like that it was an opportune moment to get him to explain more about his weapons, judging from his ending remark.

"Really? What do they look like?"

Well that confirms it, idle curiosity doesn't go this far. You're definitely trying to extract information. The only thing that I somewhat trust right now. And right after I just gave you a goddamn compliment.

"It would take me hours to explain all the weapons we have currently, so I'd rather not."

Midnight's thoughts of an easy mission were shattered with those words. And she noticed a somewhat disapproving look on his face when he said the words. She was afraid of that look and unconsciously stepped back. She prayed to Luna that he had not discovered her true intentions for asking this was more than just idle curiosity. Little did she know that Schmidt already knew.

From outside the bedroom window, infiltrator Mirror watched as the bat-pony continued to converse with the humans. She felt slightly angry that her enemies had already begun their attempts at extracting information from him, but when the human sported a slightly displeased look while the bat-pony slightly backed up, meaning that the human had discovered their attempts at subterfuge. It would be no matter for changelings, for they are masters at the art, especially infiltrators, who were born to infiltrate the enemy and acquire information.
