Operation Transform

Patricia walked around the dark street, alone. She tried to call for anyone, only for her voice to echo back. She tried this until she was tired, so she sat on the dark street, unaware of anything else. She then stood and looked around, until she saw her former boyfriend. She was about to ignore the construct until he turned into a pony, and tackled him with a knife.

She then woke up, looked around and saw her bed wet from sweat.

"Dang it, I just got these sheets cleaned!" She groaned in frustration, as she fixed her bed and headed to the dining area for breakfast.

Marcos woke up on the wrong side of the bed. He looked around, and decided to call Princess Celestia, but to his surprise, he saw the princess on the bureau. The Princess was shocked to find her human friend on her ponification camp. They then excused themselves from the crowd while Marcos pulled out his tape recorder.

"Oh, so that was the permission all about," Celestia said to Marcos, "so that you could bring your tape recorder. But why?"

"So that I could tell the others what my reactions are to ponification," Marcos replied, "all for the campaign. Although the HLF..."

"Do not worry about the HLF," Celestia advised, "instead, worry about a new enemy."

"What?" Marcos asked in disbelief.

"Ponification for Earth's Rebirth, or PER," Celestia warned. "A group of ponies up to no-good, and they force conversion. They're... chaotic."

"Oh... then we must keep track of our ponies, then?" Marcos suggested.

"Yes, yes we should," Celestia replied, "but you might not know who will be part of the group." She looked at the ponies and humans present. "You might not know, maybe one of the new ones will join them."

Michael Jones woke up to a good start as he was on the winning side, until the ponies placed their conversion bureau. It made their efforts to start in vain. He was one of the people who was affected by this. Yet somehow, luck was still on their side as their leader sent message about a new bureau opening in Paris and they should stop it. So he packed up, took his AK-47, and took a car and drove to said location.

However, since he was in India, he had to ride a plane.

As he went and bought a ticket, a mysterious hoof suddenly snatched him and tied him up to a chair. He tried to scream but as soon as he opened his mouth, the pony forced a bottle of potion into his mouth. Michael tried to resist, but the pony tilted his head back, forcing him to swallow. His eyes widened in fear as he realised what was about to happen to him.

He was the first victim of the new PER.

On a plane to Washington, DC, was a unicorn mare named Emerald, formerly a man named Brodie. Emerald was a kind pony, in fact, she had been kind ever since she was a man, until Equestria came. Being the eager one of the researchers worldwide, he volunteered to try out the ponification potion Princess Celestia made. It gave the others predicted and unpredicted results. It did turn him into a pony, but it turned him into a mare.

She hid herself when she learned that almost all of the native ponies were mostly female.
 Now, she's heading towards her former home to help other humans survive the world through ponification. However, she began to wonder how her parents will react when he turned to her. Well, at least the government was kind enough to tell them, because as she got down the private plane, her parents was waiting for her, and they were just as shocked as her.

"Brodie...?" her mom asked.

"It's me, yes... although I turned into a mare... still Brodie!" Emerald quickly hugged her parents as they hugged back. "What's up?"

"The sky, of course," her father joked, "just kidding. Same old, same old. Although when Princess Celestia told about ponification–" A beam of harmless light passed through him. "–what was that for?!"

"It's to check when you're part of the HLF," a unicorn stallion replied, "and you're clear."

"Don't mind him," whispered Emerald, "he's just... attracted to me so much that he wants to protect me."

"And is that... bad?" her mother asked, grinning.

"Forget about it," Emerald replied, blushing.

After a few seconds, they shared a small laugh before they headed into a hotel which was also a secret laboratory, and Emerald explained to her human parents what really happened, and what will happen. They were slightly surprised to hear that she changed her name to Emerald to fit the lifestyle of the ponies, and the less slightly stupid attempts of the other ponies to match her tastes, which are unbelievably exotic. And it was funny according to them.

"International reports are coming in as forced ponification seemed to be in effect in a few countries while Princess Celestia denies to do so and blames a separate group called Ponification for Earth's Rebirth. Meanwhile, Princess Luna has released a cryptic message."

The television was then turned off as Princess Luna was about to tell something. The man who was watching, USS Explorer Captain Rowan Ex, smiled as he already knew what she was about to broadcast.

Beside him was an makeshift radio connected to a sound and video decryption computer, and it has just finished decoding something. It then played on his television which turned on by its own.

It showed a video of Princess Celestia, and Marcos. It said, "Project Tango is a failure, code Zulu, Alpha, November, Mike, 2, 6, Beta."

ZANM-26B? Wasn't that his Secret Service code in case of apocalypse? Why are they using it now? Rowan was confounded, something went wrong. Project Tango was a group of government agents ponified to serve as to spy and do harm if needed. His questions where answered after the follow-up message.

"Project Tango is Ponification for Earth's Rebirth." The video then shifted into static for a few minutes before it shifted back to the news report.

Rowan then stood and took his sailor hat from the radio and wore it. He then went outside and immediately spotted a unicorn running wild, and he ran to it, knocking it to the floor.

For a member of a secret group called Unity for Foreign Equality, it would be only a few minutes before members worldwide try to track down the PER; while escaping HLF.

If the members of the Unity did decipher the code like he did, because most of the members are idiots.
