Ademar and Twilight were in the center of town, plenty of Ponies are giving him weird looks, but he ignored it. A few have walked over and signed up to help with dragging out the plane, mainly larger stallions and the Apples.

"Well, going slow so far, but at least we got applejack and Big Macs help.....oh, maybe he could help." Twilight said. She sat up and walked over to Fluttershy walking with a Minotaur.

"Who?...." He notices the large blue Minotaur. "Oh, alright lets see." Ademar says as he follows her to Fluttershy.

"Oh hello Twilight, Ademar. Its nice to see you two." Fluttershy said to them, her saddle bag was full of Herbal Tea.

"Hi Fluttershy, you didn't tell me Iron Will was visiting you."

"Hello Twilight, oh my apologies I mean Princess Twilight." The Minotaur said, he bowed politely. He looks down at Ademar "What is this ones name?"

"This is our friend Ademar. He isn't from here." Twilight told him.

"Ah yes, Fluttershy mentioned this to Iron Will a little while ago. She said you are trying to retrieve some 'Plane' From the Marsh." He told her.

"Did Applejack tell you?" Twilight said to Fluttershy.

"Mhm, She stopped to drop of Winona, poor dear is sick. She told me everything before she came into town, she said Big Mac is willing to help, Braeburn is visiting them and he said he would help out as well." Fluttershy told her.

"And Iron will will lend a hand in this....project, if the Princess allows it." He asked.

"Well...that was easy. Of course Iron will, I would be glad to accept your service." Twilight said Happily.

"Iron will is happy that you accepted my service. It must be difficult getting recruits to help you because of the Everfree."

"Yes, that is one of the biggest reasons." Twilight told him.

"Twilight What if we were able to get the help of those Deer we met in the Forest." Fluttershy suggested.

"You know I haven't thought of that, I will send a message to Aspen and see if he can send some soldiers to help us." Twilight said as she was digging through her bag to get a piece of paper and a Quill. After writing the letter she uses her magic to send it to Aspen. "And now we wait, and while we wait I would like to ask you some questions Ademar."

"I don't see why not, what do you wish to know?"

"Where did your inspiration to become a pilot come from?" She asked, a Quill and piece of paper in hand.

"My Uncle Ahren served as a pilot in the first world war, he flew a Junkers CL.I Fighter. After the war he used it as a farm plane and he gave me rides in it, one summer we took it apart and put it back together, guns included. I know that thing piece by piece, along with the 262, and a Me109." He told her.

"Interesting, What else can fly, besides your planes?"

"Well, There are Gliders and Zeppelins. Gliders are pulled behind planes and are very dangerous to land, Zeppelins were used during the great war as long range bombers to attack the British. Though they stopped being effective when the British began using Incendiary rounds in their planes, the hydrogen inside those Zeppelins would ignite and then Explode. In recent times they are used for travel, I rode in one once, to France."

"What were your parents like?" She asked Smiling

"My mother Rosana was born in Paris in 1893, though her Parents were German decent. She said I had here eyes and face, but my fathers quiet attitude. My father was born in Prussia in 1890." He told her. "He joined the Army in 1915 and left when the war ended. He and my mother married in November of 1919, a Month after I was born."

"Interesting, what abou-" Before she can finish a bird dropped a scroll onto her head, it has the symbol of the Deer Kingdom stamped on it in green ink. "Wow, that was Quick. I will ask more Questions later." She opened the scroll and read it, a smile soon came to her face. "King Aspen has agreed to help us, he is sending twenty workers lead by Blackthorn to come help us."

"I bet your friend Rarity would love hearing that." Ademar pointed out.

"Oh believe me she would." Twilight said laughing. "Well adding the Deer we would have thirty four Volunteers. Ready to head out?"

"Yes, lets get this done."

"Miss Fluttershy, Iron will will return for afternoon tea like You Promised." The Minotaur said to her.

"Okay, I'll have it ready and warm for you when you get back" She happily told him.

"Lets go then." Ademar said.

The group lead by Ademar and Twilight, made their way to the crash site in the Everfree.

"How much farther?" A pony asked.

"We are nearly there." Twilight told him. Upon reaching the site the workers Aspen had promised were already gathered around the fighter. Blackthorn walked over to her.

"We are ready to work Princess, Give us your orders."

"I need you, Big Mac, Applejack, Braeburn, and Iron will ready to pull the plane out of the water, send the rest of your party to gather up all pieces of metal and stack them in the wagons we brought. Ready?" She told him.

"By you command Princess." He ordered the Deer to start scavenging. He walked over to the fighter with Twilight. Applejack and Ademar have already secured ropes around it, They all grabbed onto a rope.

"Everyone...pull!" Ademar shouted. At once, The Apples, Iron Will, Blackthorn, and Ademar pulled on the fighter. It slowly moved from the marsh, water pouring out of the cockpit and branches were falling off the front, weeds and muck were stuck to its nose. The group strained themselves in the attempt. "Almost....there."

When it was out of the water the group stopped pulling. "Iron, I need your help with this." Ademar said while walking to his fighter.

"What do you need Iron will to do?" He said.

"Pick up the nose of the fighter, at least a few feet of the ground so i can pull out the wheels." Ademar told him. Iron will took a deep breath and knelt down to the nose. He then put all of his strength into lifting it up, When it was high enough off the ground Ademar crawled under it and Deployed the first landing gear. Iron slowly let it down. "Now the left side." Iron did as Ademar told him, after the fighter was high enough he deployed the second landing gear. It was stable enough so Iron didn't have to lift it up do get to the other gear, the fighter was now ready to move back to Ponyville.

"Iron will liked that work out, what do you need Iron will do next?" He asked.

"They will need help moving the heavier pieces of metal onto the wagons, we wont be here much longer." Ademar said. "Twilight, once we have it all loaded up tell Blackthorn and his people to return home, we can handle moving it."

"Alright, there wasn't much to scavenge. We salvaged what we could from the left turbine, not much." She told him.

"I figured as Much, don't worry i can take apart the other one and copy the parts to make a new one."

"OOO Can I help!?" Twilight said with an expression of pure joy on here face.

"Sure, I could always use the extra help" Twilight's smile grew even wider.

"Are we ready to move out?" Braeburn asked.

"Yes, lets get moving" Ademar Said. Iron will, Ademar, and The Apples grabbed onto the ropes and began to pull the plane, it moved easily because of the landing gear. The tires on the 262 let of faint squeaks as they move, getting Ademar annoyed by the sound.

"Iron will did not expect this to be heavy." He said.

"Don't worry we are almost out of the forest." Ademar told him.

"So how long will it take for repairs?" Twilight asked.

"Depends on the damage and If we can remake the parts we need, fuel is also another factor."

"So...a long time then." She said quietly.

"Yes, a long time, though this long build time may be an advantage for you, may learn more from it." With those words Twilight smiled and happily trotted beside him on the way to Ponyville.

Starlight slowly opened her eyes. She was in a large room, stone floor, walls and Ceiling. She lay on a soft cot, covered with a Blanket, what looked like Medical equipment, Research equipment was beside the cot, books with writing, a chalk board with her drawn In chalk on it.

"W.....Where am I?...Ugh..my Head." She holds her aching head, trying to remember what happened. "Those monsters....they..took me."

The large metal Door opened, from behind it three bipedal creatures with light skin walked into her room. Two were wearing helmets, wearing blueish uniforms holding metal objects like the ones she saw in the swamp, the third and tallest wore a black trench coat, had medals and eagles on it and wore a black hat, his brown hair stuck out, and his Dark brown eyes peered into her, she tried to hide under the blanket she was given. The large creature knelt down to look at her.

"There is no need to be afraid of me." It said in a calm and soothing voice. "Is your name Starlight Glimmer?"

"Y.....Yes, how can you speak my Language?" She asked, still terrified.

"Your language and writing are similar to one on this world called English. I went through your journal, you mention equality in it, many times, something we practice here in Germany."

"All of your People?" she asked him.

"Yes, though there are some who do not accept our ways. I read how you did it, you used your magic to take off their mark, leaving them talent less, but equal to the other ponies."

"Yes, but I lost control of them, I could never fully control them as my servants, they betrayed me......."

"Then you were doing something wrong Starlight."

"Wrong, how?"

"We do things differently in our World, I am willing to show you the true meaning of Equality. "He stretches out his had to help her up. "Will you join me?"

Starlight looked at his hand, words raced through her head trying to find an answer. And finally, she found her answer. She puts her hoof in his hand and is raised up. "I want to learn about Equality, and you know my name, but I do not know yours. What is it?"

The large man stood up, towering above her. Her muzzle meeting his waist, she noticed the cuffs on his coat, on both cuffs there was a SS, and on the neck of the coat were two bronze leaves.

"My name is Standartenführer Oberst Patrick Herzog of the SS. I am glad you made this decision Starlight, please follow me." Herzog and Starlight leave the room followed by the two guards made their way deeper into Berlin, where Starlight began her long, and dedicated training for Equality.
