Chapters My Little Pony: Tanks are Magic!?
Chapter 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.

What's a Draconequuis? Pt. 1
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!

Chapter 3: What's a Draconequuis? Pt. 2
As the Russian crew trundled down the hedge maze, Aleksandr started one of his favorite marches back at the camp, Let's Go! Soon, the entire crew was humming the tune. Gavriil used the side of the tank as drums and the musical was sent down the path. Lucky for them, Discord thought it funny to refill their fuel tank before they stormed through the hedges. They had tried going through the hedges, but they were as solid as stone. Ten minutes into the maze, they found Twilight, with a dull looking AppleJack.
"What's her problem?" Aleksandr asked.
"I don't know. I was trotting down here and found AppleJack here talking to someone." she said with a worried tone, "And she won't tell me who she was talking to."
"Ah already told ya Twi, I wasn't talkin ta nopony!" AppleJack shouted at Twilight in annoyance.
"You wanna ride?" Ireonim asked, patting the tank's hull. Twilight nodded, but AppleJack refused harshly.
"Ah don't wanna go round Ponyville sittin' on that thang!" She yelled as she hopped on the hull and plopped her hunches right on the cold steel. Twilight followed suite and Nastassia, the crew, and the ponies set off.
***In Russia***
"Alright men!" a German captain said to his crew, "We will march through that forest and won't stop until we've all been knocked out, or if the Soviets have all been knocked out! Got it?!"
"Aye, Abelard!" The German crew said and saluted. The party of three Tiger Is and one Tiger II and fifty men marched into the forest.
After many hours of marching, the Germans encountered strange castle ruins. They trudged on not paying any attention to it. But the thing that caught him off guard were the familiar tracks on the ground.
"Halt!" he yelled. And all tanks and men halted. He got out and put his ear to the ground. No rumbling, except for the rumbles of the engines of the Tigers. "No engines, I bet it's where they were retreating! Ha!" Abelard hopped into his tank and ordered all others to follow him as he followed the tracks. Soon, they exited the forest and were greeted by a checkered field. Just as the one you'd see on a checkerboard. He thought it was some strange Soviet landing field. In the distance, Abelard could see a small village. "Let us go men! We have Soviets to plunder!" He yelled as the rest of the small German brigade trekked towards their target.
***Back in the Labyrinth***
The Soviets and Twilight had found the rest of the Elements of Harmony, looking grey.
"What have you done to my friends!?" Twilight shouted to Discord.
"Oh I don't believe we've met. I'm Discord, Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, helloo?" he said, rolling his eyes. "Though, I haven't gotten to you eight yet, I'll do it to you too y'know. Well I'm must be off, there's gonna be a big ol' storm of chaos! Mwah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah." And he disappeared without a trace. Suddenly, off in the distance, was a familiar explosion coming from Ponyville.
"Germans!" Lazar hissed. "Everyone back to the tank! We'll get Gvozdika at the entrance of the Everfree!" They all hopped in Nastassia and Ipati looked to Twilight and said, "I'm sorry Twilight, you're going to have to deal with your friends alone! We have business to settle!"
Once they got back to Gvozdika, she was shining and no longer had bubbles in her tank.
"My group, let's go!" Ipati barked. His crew, consisting of himself, Aleksandr, Germogen, and Gavriil, hopped into the tank. The tank growled and started. The two tanks trundled to the Germans attacking Ponyville. Once the Germans were in sight, Gvozdika took the first shot. It hit the Tiger II and cancelled out it's tracks.
"Shit!" Abelard yelled and saw that his tracks were out. He swiveled his cannon and saw two KV 2s side by side. "All units, take out the Soviets!" he yelled over the radio. The rest of the tanks swiveled their cannons as more shells whizzed by. The Germans all shot at once, but they all missed. The army of fifty men charged at the tanks. The Soviets aimed their DT machine guns and opened fire, painting the street red. The tanks shot back and forth. Suddenly, deja-vu happened. A stray bullet went through the hull of Gvozdika and hit Aleksandr in the arm, breaking it. He reached for the First-Aid kit. He wrapped gaze around it and continued to load the shells.
"Gavriil, move us up!" Ipati shouted. As soon as Gavriil hit the gas, the engine spluttered to a stop. "What's wrong with her now!" he cried. He opened the cupola and looked behind him, the engine was on fire! "Everybody, evacuate the tank!" Everyone quickly scrambled out and got to a safe distance just as Gvozdika exploded.
***Ponies***
Twilight had just finished giving Rainbow the memory spell when they heard an earth shattering kaboom! (Let's see who gets where that came from.) They quickly ran over to Ponyville, only to see a tank set ablaze and even more tanks than before!
"What happened here?" Twilight asked nopony in particular.
"Ah reckon it's one o' those wars one of them were talkin' bout." AppleJack replied as a bullet whizzed passed all their heads.
"I don't think this is the best time to talk!" Rarity shouted as a bullet flew dirt up next to them. They fled to Sweet Apple Acres and hid in the farmhouse.
***
As all the war and chaos raged on, Discord was laughing to death. "This is priceless!" he screamed wiping a tear away. He poofed up some popcorn and started to munch down on it.
***
Lazar fired all the tank gave and knocked out all three Tiger Is. All that was left was the German Tiger II. Lazar aimed the cannon right at the barrel aiming at him, and he fired. In slow motion, the shell said through the air and went straight down the barrel and into the chest of a German loader and hit the fuel and ammunition storage. The German tank blew up in a fiery plume of smoke.
"Whew, now that is how you hit a German! Ha ha!" Gavriil shouted from outside the tank

What's a Draconequuis? Pt. 3
Chapter 4: what's a Draconequuis ? Pt. 3
Even with the town a fiery, bloody mess, there was one Soviet that mourned over something else. Aleksandr knelt down beside Gvozdika and remembered what his older brother said to him.
"Brother Aleksandr, this tank you are using. It was used by father back when he fought his last few years in the war."
"I know brother Nikoláy. You have already told me. Don't forget your lucky music box." Aleksandr said with a smirk. Nikoláy pulled out his music box with a chuckle. That's all he could remember. Or WANTED to remember. He pulled out his music box, probably the last one in the world, and started to play it.
His boots started to dull for some strange reason. Then his pants, then his jacket, and the rest of his body. A tear streaked down his face and onto the music box. Which also dulled. Ipati walked up to him. "Aleksandr, we need your help over here." He said.
"Why should I help you. Why should I help anyone. There's no point." He grumbled as he walked away in a random direction. Ipati marched over to his crew and Gavriil looked at him, puzzled. "Where's Aleksandr?" He asked.
"He said he didn't want to help." Ipati said. "And I must agree with him. Something this stressful should put a lot of weight on your shoulders."
"Yes, but, he always wants to help out when asked. Strange actually." Gavriil asked.
***
Aleksandr's mood grew worse with each step he took. He had never felt this horrible since his mother had passed.
"Hm, in a grumpy mood, are we Aleksandr." a voice in his head said.
"Shut up you. I don't need you anymore."
"Oh, but you do, if you want to get through these hard times. I'll help you. Unlike your so called 'friends' over there." Aleksandr just growled. He hadn't needed this voice in years. Though, it's persuasion was tempting, since there was nothing left for him to.
***
Discord was finally defeated after raging fire of metal projectiles, and a large rainbow, Discord was finally put to stone... again. There was somepony missing. Or somebody missing. Last Twilight had heard, he stormed off after playing a music box. No one knew where he went, why he went, or how he went. She did hear Ipati say that he looked duller than usual. Could this be Discord's doing? Could the memory spell fix a human!? Why were all these questions spinning through her head?!?! Just calm down Twilight, just calm... down. Twilight said to reassure herself. No, Discord's finished he's been turned to stone. Maybe Aleksandr was just grumpy today.
***In Aleksandr's mind***
A dark shadow snaked through the hallways of Aleksandr's consciousness. It dulled every wall, every corner, every room. Every nook, every crack that it could get to, was either dulled or blackened.
Every second passed by ever slower as more of his mind was ripped and torn, and sewn back together. He held his head in complete agony and pain and growled loudly.
"If you won't let me help you, I'll make you." The voice said in his head. Aleksandr dropped onto the ground in pain. He writhed and squirmed as his head felt like it was about to split in half and explode.
Suddenly, he forgot everything. His childhood, his teenage years, his drafting, his training, and his being all together. He opened his eyes slowly, and was sitting in utter blackness. He could see his hands, but nothing else. It was as if he was in another world altogether.

Ipati wandered the streets of Ponyville looking for Aleksandr. After thirty minutes of searching and asking the inhabitants, he found Aleksandr twitching and writhing around in a field.
"Aleksandr? Are you okay?" Ipati asked. His reply was a heavily disgrunteled groan as his eyes flickered open. He grunted and rolled over and faced away from Ipati. "Oh, this will be a very, very long day." Ipati grumbled. "Come Aleksandr. You can't stay here forever."
"Yes I can, and I will. I don't have to help anybody. Everyone will die anyways, my help or not." Aleksandr said, annoyance very clear in his voice. Ipati just groaned and walked away to allow Aleksandr to do his own thing. He tried to remember how he had ended up in a field. As he did, a sharp knife of pain shot through his skull. Then, in the blink of an eye, he blacked out into darkness.
