Beaches of Blood

     "Hello?", I said to the creature. I was shocked at that moment. He wore a grayish shirt with a green backpack along with a green helmet. The thing he was holding was called a Gun. I learned about those later. "What are you!?" He exclaimed as he began to lower his Rifle. "Why I am just a pony." I answered. The man looked puzzled. "A pony? But how did you get here?". He didn't understand, and neither did I.  I explained to him what happened and he seemed to understand. "How were you even able to control a portal?". "Oh just magic we ponies use." He was speechless. Before I could explore, a man with a officers cap looked straight at me. "What the hell is this?" He asked. The soldier explained to the man about me. "Well then, let me give you a tour..."

     That ship was huge! So much technology on that thing. You had pipes, steering devices, radar, screens, turrents, all of that! In Ponyville we have some stuff like it but mainly only pipes and steering devices. Other people stared at me as the man gave me a tour. "My name is General Bob." He said. "General, so you control the things here?" I asked. "Pretty much." My favorite part of the ship was the big guns. You had 5-inch cannons along with 20mm Machine Guns that could tear away at enemies. Boy, if only my friends could see this. After the tour, the General invited me to a meal and I got to know a few people. The men called theirselves "Americans". "We've been fighting this war for a year now, and we are glad someone like you could join." Explained the general. He asked me a whole bunch of stuff. Most of them were about Fighting, War, and technique. I knew a bit about fighting and Technique but I have never been in war.

     *Alert! Alert! Enemy Aircraft approaching the fleet, man positions!*

     "Aircraft!? What do they mean?" I asked. Men rushed all around me. Some climbed Into big cannons and some sat on a stool next to machine guns. Next thing I knew, my ears were pierced. Little flashes of light burst off of guns and into the sky. I had finally seen the objects then. They were Machines with two planes of metal on both sides, a tail with another, smaller two flaps at the end. The whole thing was painted White with a red circle in the middle. I had then just saw other ships that I have not even thought about. There were ships with other flying machines on them. Small ships, big ships, and regular ships about the size of this one. A man pulled me out of the way as the area where I was at leaped up as little objects from a Aircraft cause a line of holes. "All men inside, Now!" Yelled the general.

     About an hour had past when the firing died down. I went outside and saw crashed aircraft in the water, ships on fire. And dead men laying all over the floor. Some were even crying. The general approached me and said something I will never forget..."Lad, you have just witnessed war. And your going to be fighting in it."
