My Little Pony: Tanks are Magic!?
The Frontline Defense
Load Full StoryNext ChapterChapter 1: The Frontline Defense
The war of the Eastern Front raged on as more and more tanks approached the Russian and Polish's frontline defense. They were holding out longer and longer. The two tanks that took out most of the Tiger Is were the three KV 2 Gigants. They blasted the Tigers continuously. Without them, the 5 other T 34s wouldn't hold out much longer. The war raged on and the Germans kept coming. The Russian and Polish tanks had to hide in ditches and aim down to avoid being hit by Germans. BAM! BOOM! Explosions were everywhere and shells were continuously thrown this way and that. There were at least 40 German tanks set ablaze.

Just outside of a town called Ponyville in a land named Equestria was a large forest called the Everfree Forest. It held many creatures. Most were very dangerous. It was a place where animals took care of themselves, trees grow on there own, and the clouds moved by themselves. This forest also held the two sisters castle. This castle was long since destroyed since the sun ruler's sister, the bringer of night, was turned evil due to her sister taking all the glory. She was banished to the moon for a thousand years. But she had long since returned and was reformed by the Elements of Harmony. This castle crumbled and cracked and no pony ever dared to go near. Even go into the forest for that matter. That is how scary, dark, and wild this forest is. A once evil chaos ruler lives in this forest with his own little area of chaos. His name was Discord. He was also the one who created and was defeated not once, not twice, but three times by the Elements of Harmony. Why create something that can defeat you you ask? Discord always thought life as a game. And the citizens of Equestria were his toys. Enough of that, lets get to the two pony sisters. They are two aileron sisters who rule and watch over Equestria. An alicorn is a pony that possesses the traits of the three pony races. The wings of a pegasus, the horn of a unicorn, and the strength of an earth pony. The raiser of the sun is named Celestia, and the raiser of the moon is named Luna. These two sisters are thousands of years old. They have overcome many obstacles, but they are still the best of sisters.

The Russians and the Polish tanks had the Germans to very little numbers. But sadly, two Germans took there shots at two of the three KV 2s. One shell hit the tank and set it ablaze. The second hit the other tank and sent it through the shoulder of one of the crew members, shattering it. Blood spewed everywhere. Luckily, he was still alive, but he could not move his left arm. One of the crew members in that tank was on the verge of tears. In the blazing fire of the KV 2, was the burning body of his brother. The Germans were finally obliterated. This was reported to HQ and the tanks were told to be reported back. That's exactly what they did, the T 34s taking front while the KVs took the sides. When the T 34s trudged into the HQ, there were five tanks, not seven.
"Where are the KVs! Stalin said.
"We don't know! We went in a forest with seven tanks, and came out with five." a crew member said.
"When the coast is clear, we go through that forest and search every centimeter of it! There will be no waste of tanks!" Stalin shouted.
The rest of the squad saluted and went to the mess hall.

The Everfree was silent and still, until the ground started to shake. Then, the loud roar of engines were heard.
"Do you know where the rest of the squad is Aleksander?" Gavriil asked grasping his broken shoulder.
"No I don't. Let's contact the others. Hey, Ieronim, do you know where the rest of the squad is?"
"No, Aleksander, I'm sorry, I don't." Came Ieronim's voice over the radio.
"Hey, look. There's an old castle. We should make shelter there." The two crews agreed and trudged their way to the old ruins. They quickly set up camp at the entrance. Aleksander walked into the ruins, curiosity getting the better of him. "Hm, strange. This flag is not the Soviet's flag. Not even the Polish flag. But two, mythical horses." He said in wonder. He ran to the rest of the rest of the crew and told him about the flag.
"Maybe we haven't claimed it yet." Germogen said, examining the flag.
"But, who would have a Jin Jang type symbol with two horses surrounding it?" Ipati said. They all shrugged in confusion. The ruins is where the crew spent the night.
When they woke up the sun didn't shine through the trees.
"It's pretty dark for late morning. My watch says it's 9:00 in the morning." Konstantin said.
"Ah, I've haven't slept that good since the night before I was drafted." Lazar said.
"You said it." Grigoriy said.
"Sshh, do you hear that?" Germogen asked. They all listened closely. It was the sound of galloping.
"Quick, get in the tanks! They could be Germans!" Ipati said. They all hopped in their respective tanks and aimed their light machine turrets on the front to the sound of galloping. When the galloping stopped, they all gawked and stood their. Their turrets were still ready. In front of them were six multicolored horses. One was lavender, one was white, one was cyan, one was cream yellow, one was orange, and the last one was pink.
"I haven't had any vodka lately, have you?" Lazar asked. Konstantin shook his head.

The mane 6 were racing to Discord's because he was needed immediately. When they ran to the castle ruins, they saw something they weren't expecting. They saw two large green objects with long sticks pointed at them. At the top of each were bipedal creatures with strange uniforms.
"What in tarnation is that?" Applejack yelled.
Then, one of the creatures at the top, spoke in perfect Equis, "Alright men, get ready to fire!", another one from inside spoke, "Aye, aye, Ipati sir!" They heard two loud clicks and metal banging on metal.
"Who are you... uh, talking horses! State your business!" The aforementioned "Ipati" said.
"W-We are the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. A force for good!" Twilight shouted nervously.
"Alright men! Bring down your weapons!" another bipedal creature said.
"Aye, aye, Lazar sir!" another on said from inside one of the solid behemoths. The large sticks were then pointed downward.
"Can you locate the nearest village ma'am!" Lazar said.
"Right o-over there!" she shouted, pointing a hoof east. She was still scared.
"Thank you ma'am!" Ipati said, "Alright men start your engines!" With a loud roar, the large monsters took of toward Ponyville.
W-w-what w-w-as t-t-that!" Fluttershy stuck to a tree and was shaking furiously. The ponies all shrugged and trotted on bewildered at the sight they just saw.
***
The two KVs trudged on towards the village.
"I just hope there aren't more of them. I don't think I'm ever drinking vodka again!" Aleksander said.
"Agreed." Ipati said. They had reached the edge of the forest and were met by a large green field.
"Hm, this doesn't look like a battlefield to me. Did we go too far off track? Maybe that's why we lost the rest of the squadron." Maksimilian said. "Hey, there's a small village in the distance, see?" He pointed out from the small looking space. Ipati reported to Lazar and they drove the way to it.
"You know, if we're lost, then how are we going to get fuel?" Maksimilian asked.
"Good question, bad answer. I don't know to be honest." Gavriil said. Then, he limply climbed up the ladder and looked out the hatch at the top of the tank and was bewildered at what he saw.
"Aleksander, I've got some bad news for you. There are more colorful horses. Apparently they inhabit the town." Gavriil said.
Aleksander groaned and buried his face in his palms.

"Spike, take a letter!" Twilight said to her number one assistant, "Dear Princess Celestia, Today, while running to Discord's, we bumped into two large metal beasts operated by at least two, two legged beings. We want you to see them right away and tell if they're dangerous or harmful to other ponies. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle. Got that Spike?"
"...Your faithful student Twilight Sparkle. Got it." He yelled. He wrapped it in the royal seal and sent it on it's way. Suddenly, the entire library shook, causing all the books to fall off. She looked outside and saw the two large behemoths sitting outside. The bipedal creature had gone into the beast and popped out as soon as he went in. He was followed by seven others. The sound of Spike belching caught his attention. She read it aloud' "My Dearest Twilight Sparkle, I will arrive in Ponyvile immediately to see if this is one of Discord's jokes. Your teacher and mentor, Princess Cele-" She was interrupted by a knocking at the door. "Come in!" She shouted. Then they all gasped to see the eight bipedal creatures march in in a orderly fashion. They could make out every detail on them now in the light. They all wore a light brown jacket with goggles all except for two. They were wearing strange black helmets and jackets. One of the brown jacketed men had a large red spot where his shoulder was.
"Hm, does this library happen to have any information about this town. I'd really like to know the farmer of these strange horses." one of the brown jacketed creatures said. As Twilight was about to say something, Princess Celestia walked through the door.
"Princess Celestia!" Twilight shouted and ran over to hug her, while everypony else merely bowed, even the strange creatures.
"So, these are the creatures you were talking about Twilight?" Celestia asked. Twilight shook her head and pointed to the strange vehicles. "Oh, I see." She turned to the tanks, and then back to the creatures."Who are you?" Celestia asked in a calm tone, "Why are you here?"
***
"Well," Itapi said, "The first question we can answer. But the second one... eh, we don't know. Ok, Lazar, I'll introduce my squadron, you introduce yours. "This is tank squadron II. I am Itapi, this is Gavriil, this is Aleksander, this is Maksimilian." Italy pointed to Lazar and he began his introduction, "I am Lazar, this is tank squadron III. This is Konsantin, this is Ieronim, and this is Germogen. And we are the frontline forces for Mother Russia!" They all said the last part in unison.
"Well, nice to meet you tank squadrons II and III. I am Princess Celestia. And these are the Element Bearers. Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity. And here is Spike, Twilight's number one assistant." The large equine said, "Oh, it's getting late. I will see you tomorrow." She walked to her carriage and flew away.
"Well, I'm going to sleep on what just happened. Come one guys, let's move." Itapi said as they marched to the tanks, "Goodnight!" Itapi yelled as they drove away. They drove to the middle of a field and set up camp.
"Vodka for everybody!" Aleksander yelled. They all laughed and laughed. They told stories and sang songs to keep their spirits up. soon they were in bed. Gavriil's shoulder was patched up with magic. He was still shocked that magic existed. But they would all wake up to a happy new day.
