My Little Pony: Tanks are Magic!?

Chapter 2: What's a Draconequuis? Pt. 1

The eight Russians had awoken where they had lay to sleep. Aleksandr was the first to wake up. He walked over to his tank and grabbed his Mosin Nagant 1944. He sat down and waited for the others to wake up. He pulled out a photo of his wife and two children. "Bless your souls." He whispered quietly to himself. Gavriil was the second two wake up.

"Good morning Aleksandr." he said sleepily. He walked up to the same tank as Aleksandr did and grabbed his PPSH-41. He sat next to him and yawned. "Yes, I have a family to. A wife and a son. I miss them. I hope we can get out of this too colorful land of talking ponies." he said. The other six finally got up. Ieronim got his SVT 40, Germogen grabbed his Simonov AVS 36, Ipati got his Thompson, Konstantin got his Federov Avtomat, Lazar got his Tokarev SVT 38, and Grigoriy got his Tokarev SVT 40. They all did their early morning exercises and hopped in their tanks.

"Can have these beauties left to sit here and rot, now can we?" Ipati said to Lazar over the still hazy radio. The tank's engines growled and the tanks started.Then, there was a slight popping noise, like that of a bubble. "Huh?" Ipati said in confusion. He open the cupola and looked at the engine of the tank. Small cloudy bubbles emerged from it. "Who put bubbles in the fuel line?" he asked. Aleksandr! Shut her off!" he shouted as the tank's engine was momentarily shut off. He opened it only to get blasted with bubble solution. "Hey, who put bubble solution in the tank!?" he barked. The entire crew shrugged. "Lazar, I think were going on foot today. Someone replaced all of our fuel with bubbles!" he shouted into the radio.

Soon, they were all marching on foot to Ponyville crossly bearing the Soviet flag. Lazar and Ipati stormed up to Twilight's library and barged in loudly. Twilight was sitting down reading a book on the couch peacefully until the two captains barged in with guns raised and pointed at her.

"AH!" She shouted and jumped behind the couch.

""Ms. Sparkle!" Lazar barked, "Please explain to us why our fuel has been turned to bubbles!" She shook her head in denial.

"M-Maybe you should ask Rainbow Dash. She always pulls pranks on other ponies." she said meekly. Though she wasn't Fluttershy, she was absolutely terrified. The two captains ordered their crews to march towards the place where Twilight pointed. They marched through the entire town while ponies were screaming and running this way and that.

Lazar fired a shot from his Tokarev once they got to Rainbow Dash's house.

"What? Who's the- oh, it's you!" She said as she floated down. "What do you want?" Lazar and Ipati both had their guns raised at her.

"We've heard that you're the prankster around here, is this true?" Lazar asked.

"Heh, the best prankster in Equestria." She said while doing a loop in the air. Ipati shoved the muzzle of the gun to the end of her snout.

"Then let me asked you this Ms. Dash, why on Earth would you dump bubbles in our fuel tank!" Ipati screamed. Rainbow Dash only gave out a small whimper as the long stick was pointed at her.

"B-Bubbles? I don't do bubbles. I do lightening, but I'm too cool for bubbles." She said, trying to gain her cool and courage back but failed as Ipati pushed harder against her muzzle.

"Then do you know who did?" He asked behind gritted teeth. She shook her head furiously. And before Ipati could say another word, she had flown off in the opposite direction in a trail of rainbow. He grumbled in fury. "Well men, I don't want to go on wild goose chases around this accursed town looking for a prank culprit." He barked to his men.

And again, he was interrupted by the sound of flapping. They all turned around to see Celestia and another alicorn riding beside her. They all had to duck to avoid getting hit. They ran over to the other side of town only to see Celestia along with that other pony walking into Twilight's library. They all ran to their tanks quickly as possible.

"Allright men, we will all have to drive in Nastssia to get around, okay?" he ordered. They all saluted and marched to Nastassia. Ipati turned around and saluted to Gvozdika as they drove off.

Once they arrived at Twilight's library, they noticed that, in the window, Twilight and their friends had the look of utmost terror on their faces.

"Hm, wonder what they're talking about, sir." Aleksandr said.

"I don't know Aleksander, I don't know..." Ipati's voice trailed off as the ponies walked out of the library wand saw the tank. Celestia was the first to react by saying something.

"Excuse me, um... humans, we may need your assistance at the castle. Can your vehicle climb that mountain?" ha said as she pointed a hoof at Canterlot Mountain. Lazar inspected the mountain and nodded. "Good, we will meet you there."

***At the base of Mt. Canterlot***

"Alright men, hold on tight!" he shouted to the men on the turret and base of the tank as he climbed up. Sometimes, the tank's tracks would slip under loose rocks. But after ten minutes of climbing, they made it to the castle entrance, but were stopped by two guards in gold armor. "Halt! In the name of Princess Celestia, state your business!" the guard on the left shouted. Though his expression didn't change, you could see the nervousness in his eyes.

"We are here by the orders of Princess Celestia." Ipati said. He had encountered and was sent to a castle by a princess' order. The guards let them pass and the trundled into the Canterlot castle grounds in their tank. They decided to be respective and hop out of their tank and walked in.

"Good to see you eight here. You are here five minutes before the train." Celestia said.

***Seven minutes later***

Finally, the Mane 6 burst through the castle doors.

"Princess, we came as fast as we could!" Twilight said.

"Heh, apparently not fast enough." Aleksandr whispered to Germogen. They both snickered silently.

"Thank you Twilight, thank you all." Celestia said. "I have called you all here for a matter of great importance. It seems an old foe of mine, someone that I thought I defeated long ago has returned. His name, is Discord. Discord is the mischievous spirit of Disharmony. Before my sister and I stood up to him, he ruled Equestria in an eternal state of unrest and unhappiness. So after discovering the Elements of Harmony, we combined our powers, turning him into stone."

"Alright Princess!" Rainbow Dash cheered.

"But I thought the spell we cast would last forever, but since Luna and I are no longer connected to the Elements, the spell has been broken. This is Canterlot tower, where the Elements are contained, since all of you recovered them. I need you to wield the Elements once again and stop Discord before he thrusts Equestria into an eternal state of chaos. You six show the full potential of the Elements by harnessing the power of Friendship to defeat a mighty foe. Although Luna and I once wielded the Elements, it is you who now control their power, and it is you who must defeat Discord!" she said. The Russians stood their dumbfounded by what they were taking in.

"Princess Celestia, you can count on-" she was interrupted by Pinkie Pie.

"Hold on a second! Eternal Chaos comes with chocolate rain you guys, chocolate rain!" Pinkie said.

"Don't listen to her Princess. We'd be honored to use the Elements again." Twilight said. Celestia then undid the magic lock on the door and the door slid open revealing a chest.

"Have no fear ponies, I have full confidence that you will be able to defeat Discord, with these." she said, opening the chest to reveal that it was empty. Everybody gasped at the sight. The sound of the box dropping echoed through the silent halls. "That chamber is sealed by a spell only I can break. This doesn't make sense." Then, a laughter filled the tower. "Make sense? Oh what fun is there in making sense?" a voice asked.

"Discord! Show yourself!" Celeste ordered.

"Ah ah ah ah oh, did you miss me Celestia?" the voice asked. Then, a strange animal on a glass painted moved. "I missed you. It's quite lonely being turned to stone, but you wouldn't know that would you? Be cause I don't turn ponies to stone."

"Enough!" Celestia yelled. "What have you done with the Elements of Harmony?"

"Oh I just borrowed them for a teensy little while." He snapped and the Elements of Harmony in the glass picture disappeared.

"You'll never get away with this Discord!" Celestia said.

"Oh, I've forgotten how grim you can be Celestia. It's really quite boring." Discord said.

"Hey! Nopony insults the Princess!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she flew to the window. She hit the window just as soon as Discord disappeared.

"Oh, you must be Rainbow Dash, famed for your loyalty. The Element you represent." Discord said.

"That's right! And I'll always be loyal to the princess!" Rainbow Dash said. "Oh we'll see about that." Discord  said.

"I can't believe we're wasting our time talking to a tacky window." Rarity said.

"The beautiful Rarity, the Element of Generosity if I'm not mistaken." Discord said.

"So you know our powers, big deal." Applejack said

"Oh I know much more than that Honest AppleJack."

You seem to know our strengths too." Twilight said.

***Let's take a look at the Russians shall we?***

Ipati, Lazar and their crew watched in aw as this "Discord" go back and forth with each pony.

"What is that?" Lazar whispered to Ipati expecting an answer. Ipati just shrugged. The Russians jumped when Discord mentioned their names.

"Hm, Lazar, Ipati, Gavriil, Aleksandr, Ieronim, Germogeon, Konsantin, and Grigoriy." Discord pointed to each of them.

"H-How?" Aleksandr said raising his weapon.

"Stand down, it's just a window. It will  do no good attacking it." Ipati said.

"Hm, high common sense. I like you eight." Discord.

"Discord! Tell us what you have done to the Elements!" Celestia demanded.

"Okay, I'll tell you. But I'll tell you my way. Retrieve your missing Elements, Just make sense of these change of events. Twists and turns are my master plan, Then find the Elements back where you began.

"Well, I wonder what that could mean." Grigoriy said. Everyone shrugged, except for Twilight who was staring out the window.

"Twists and turns... twists and turns. Twists an turns, that's it! I bet Discord hid the Elements in the palace labyrinth!" Twilight shouted. Celestia nodded and said, "Good luck everypony. The fate of Equestria is in your hooves." Every one nodded and ran out of the palace.

***Outside the Palace Labyrinth***

Discord had appeared right at the entrance of the labyrinth and was discussing the rules of his game.

"Alright, so the rules of the game... no horns, no wings, and no weapons." Discord snapped his fingers, and in a white flash, everybody except the Russians and Earth Ponies screamed. The Soviets just growled in annoyance. But Aleksandr spoke up and said, "That was my father's Mosin!"

"Rules are rules." Discord said smugly. "Buuut, you may use your strange... turtle thing in this labyrinth." Everybody reluctantly agreed to his game. Lazar went to go grab the tank.

***5 minutes later***

"Come on guys, let's do this... together!" Twilight shouted.

"Together!" everyone else shouted. Suddenly, the hedges shot upward, separating all the ponies and people. The Russian crew sat in the tank while Twilight was telling everyone to split up.

Aleksandr, start up the engine, we're going in!"

***Soviet Union***

"Any luck finding the KVs?" Stalin asked the two crewman. They shook their heads.

"Not a trace sir. We have searched every meter of that forest, but not a single trace. No tracks or explosions. They could have been kidnapped!" The first crewman said.

"FUCK! We need those tanks to hold off any unsuspected Germans!" Stalin yelled. Then, an explosion was heard in the distance. "Oh no."

Alrighty then. That was fun. Wuz gunna happen next? I don't know, you don't know. NOBODY knows! Alright guys. see ya later!
