Chapters Well I guess you are wanting to know who I am well I'm Sargent first class Wesley D. Lowry but we will stick with just Lowry. I enlisted two years ago in the army then after boot became a tanker because why not? Its a tank. Any way me and my crew are in northern Iraq not where any of the big fighting was so on the first few days we saw no combat. Two days and we made it to the area we are to stay at. well its time to tell you our story. The story of how we came to the world of my little pony.
Erbil, Iraq. Fire base delta
walking out of my tent I walk over to my tank, making sure everything is tip top shape walking behind the tank I see our driver Cody working on the tank I get on the ground next to him to help him out
"What you doing boss? I got this but we need more rounds in the tank we fired two at the bunker outside of town and four more at the gun range."
I shake my head with a smirk "Since when do you tell me what to do? Last time I checked I was the tank commander." I stand up popping my back looking down "what kind of rounds do we need sabot, HEAT? or do I need to find Rodney?" Watching him he just shrugs and continues working so I decide to go find our loader. Rodney is the loader and the one who usually restocks the ammo on the tank so that's who I'm looking for now and knowing him he is at the mess so that's where I look first but when I get there I see hide nor hair of him so I head over to supply and that's where I find him with our gunner Trey picking up a create of what I'm guessing Is the tank rounds we need so I stop them "So are these the rounds we need?". Trey is a new addition to the crew when our other gunner requested a transfer from out unit now with that said he still fallows regulations ,most of us are laid back on rules unless it is important or the general is on base, when I walked u to them trey dropped the create with a salute. I return it with a small smile and then Rodney drops his side of the create looking up at me
Rodney gives a little half -ass salute " Sir we got the rounds to restock the tank but I heard rumors that us and two other tanks are about to be sent on a patrol outside Erbil. Is that true?"
I shake my head kicking at the dust " I have heard the same thing but I have no idea if we are or not but both of you make sure the tank has all the ammo and fuel it needs. We don't need to run out of gas in the middle of a firefight." and with that I walk away but stop and turn back "Trey you don't need to be so formal around here alright just relax. I'm going to go and find out if we are being sent out or not." And with that I walk off to the command tent where the brigade commander was at.
Walking up to the tent I push the flap to the side and walk up to the commander with a salute " Sir may I speak with for a second sir." he turns around and gives a little salute and nods his head for me to continue so I do " Sir I would like to know if it is true that my tank and two others ore being sent out." he looks up at me then walks over to his desk and sits down
"Son, yes you are being sent out this is war and we have to make sure that we don't have the republican guard rolling down the road." He walks over to a map hanging on the wall and showing me that we are going to recon the east side of the city and are to return at 2100 hours. He dismisses me and I walk back over to my tank where my crew is waiting all looking at me the mission starts at 1835 and its 1730 right now so all the other commanders already know about this walking to the tank Rodney looks up at me.
"well are we going.? I look at him and nod my head "So we are heading out to the east side right?"
I nod my head again "We leave in one hour get the tank ready and get ready yourselves we don't know what we will encounter." they all give a 'yes sir' and start getting the tank ready I get into the commanders cupula looking over the fifty caliber machine gun in front of me. Shaking my head this will be quick and easy.
I was wrong
1 hour later
It was time to roll out and all three tanks are at the gate my tank was the last in the formation while the squad leader was in the front of the formation talking to the commander, most likely going over the plan one more time. After waiting around five more minutes we got the order to roll out. I reach into the tank grabbing the radio telling Cody to fallow the tank in front and I here I hear Cody laugh on the other end but says nothing. We continue rolling down the dusty road I realize that we are in enemy territory now so I keep my eyes peeled looking for anything that can be a threat but seeing nothing so I sit on my seat waiting. Twenty minutes later I hear something on the radio I didn't want to here.
"We have small arms fire on our right, but nothing to worry about."
With that I pick up the mic telling the gunner to rotate the gun to he right. I here a quite 'yes sir' the turret starts moving to the right that's when I saw something I will never forget the lead tank went up in flames with the commander on fire screaming a scream I will never forget then I see him pull his pistol out and put it up to his head and pulled the trigger, I was horrified then something rocks the tank I look around in a daze smoke was every where then I here on the radio.
" COMMANDER WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING WE JUST GOT HIT BY AN RPG AND WE AINT MOVING"
I realize that the tank has been hit but no damage was taken tracers where racing everywhere green flying to the enemy with red coming from ever direction hitting my tank and the one in front. Bullets where bouncing off the tanks turret then I see something else a Russian made T-72 came from around the corner and aimed its 125mm gun at the tank in front of mine and fired one round only to fly over the tank whit a whine the tanks gun started to depress, my eyes go wide.
"Gunner identify tank five degrees left, loader load sabot."
and with that the turret swung to the left but it was to late the Russian built monster fried and hit the Abrams full broadside smoke billowing out of the tank then right after the T-72 fired my tank fired at it hitting with the first shot and the turret flying into the air then landing around 6 yards away from the burning hulk. Small arms fire continued all around me so I get on the mic for the driver to get us out of here. I feel the tank lurch then backing up whit the pop of AK-47s hitting the tank but just chipping the paint I open the hatch looking around whit bullets whizzing bye then I heard a load *POP* and looking to my left all I see is a smoke trail and a warhead about to hit the side of the tank with one word on my mind before every thing when dark and the one was
"Fuck"
Author's Note
Well this is the first chapter just getting to know the crew and a feel on how this story should go after they get into equestria I will start taking ideas from all of you amazing readers.
well this is bye for now
With a hiss I wake up inside the tank with a pounding head I open my eyes to see nothing but blurry blobs but start to clear up. Looking around I am able to see the commanders hatch wide open with a little bit of blood on it looking inside the tank I can see the rest of the crew starting to wake up talking to themselves I can see the gun breech is open with no rounds in it so I look over to Rodney.
"why is the gun not loaded?" he just looks up at me with a raised bloody eyebrow shaking his head.
" I have been out cold so how do you expect me to load the gun if I'm not awake sergeant?" he hen proceeds to load the gun whit a high explosive anti-tank round or HEAT as it is called. I grab the out side of the tank pulling myself up while talking
"Well if you would stop being a smartass and not go to sleep on missions we would not have this problem would we?" I look down at him whit a smirk. On one training exercise we where to take out as many targets to win well Rodney had fallen asleep and failed to load the gun and the whole time our gunner that transferred thought that the gun was broke. So long story short we never let him live it down.
When I popped out of the turret I saw something I was not expecting, green, green everywhere continue to look around then reach in to the tank and pull out a small operations map and looking at it I saw no green just desert I felt the color drain from my face then I here Cody speak up
"Guys I don't think we are in Iraq anymore there's to much green last time I checked we where on the outskirts of a desert town getting hit from all sides." He then proceeds to pop open his hatch and hops out of the tank. after a few seconds I pull myself up and jump down from the tank whit trey and Rodney fallowing me looking around wide eyed
"I thought we where in Iraq not a colorful forest. well at least the tank is ok and I only fired one round so we should have 19 sabot rounds and 20 HEAT rounds left." Trey said walking over to the side of the tank that got hit by the RPG with Cody fallowing within seconds I here a gasp.
"Sargent you may want to look at this." Cody said, so I walk over expecting to see a big ass hole in the side but when I look it looks like the tank just came from the factory no nicks from the bullets no holes from RPGs just what the hell did I smoke last night looking around the forest I decide its time to fined out where we are. I look over at Cody
"Get in the tank guys we need to find out where the fuck we are. and how he hell we got here." they all nod and got back into the tank in there positions then I here the engine roar to life I see a dirt road to the left and so did Cody because that's where the tank started to roll to. I had half my body out the tank looking for anything familiar but after five minutes of straight forest I give up I must have smoked something and what ever it is I'm going to sell that shit. but joking aside I have no idea where we are but after ANOUTHER five minutes I tell Cody to stop at a sign up ahead but when we do I lose it.
"What kind of name is pony Ville! I mean really who in the hell names a place like that but you know what,fuck it just fuck it, lets go and see what the fuck is going on." And with my little rant no one speaks and just continues doing what they where before while I'm just trying to find out what the hell kind of name is pony Ville. While we roll I notice that the woods have thinned out then all I can see is rolling hills and it is calming and looking ahead I see a small village with a small sign saying WELCOM TO PONYVILLE. I drop down into the tank and grab the mic.
"Cody slow the tank but don't stop. Trey do not fire unless I give the order we don't know where we are so we don't want to start a war got it? and don't run over any of the locals."
I hear multiple yes sirs and close the hatch above me while the tank slows down and I see the buildings start to pass, what confuses me is that every thing looks well taken care of but there is no one around we must have scared them whit the tank or something. We reach what looks like the town center and what I see makes me want to go to sleep and cry. There are six pony's standing in front of me with some kind of jewelry on looking at us and one is wherein some kind of crown? maybe, I don't know but one is a light pink with a darker pink mane and is bouncing and smiling like there is not a seventy ton war machine in front of it. The next one has a white coat and indigo mane and looks like it does not want to be out side in the dirt and has a horn on her head. Wait what? my brain had to take a quick stop MOVING ON. The one next to it was orange and had a blond mane and was wherein a cowboy hat and was like the first one no horn. The one after that was cyan blue with a rainbow mane and wings. Wings? Yes it has wings. the next one was the one with the crown thing had a purple coat and deep purple mane with pink highlights. The last one had a pink mane,wings,and a butter coat and look like it wanted to hide behind its mane but could not. with this I tell Cody to stop the tank so I could open the hatch and see what the hell I'm tripping on. Popping the hatch open I pull my body out where my upper half was out when I did that I hear a collective gasp from the ponies while reaching for my radio.
"Cody stop the tank, now." When the engine turned off the ponies where just staring at me with jaws on the ground. I raise a hand and wave and the pink one waved back smiling even more I watch as the purple one looks at it and talks to it? well this is going well then they start coming over to the tank and I see trey tense up with his finger on the trigger I take a foot and kick him shaking my head he nods his head and loosens up but does not take his hand off the trigger, le sigh, I look up and see the ponies in front of the tank looking up at me then the rainbow haired one does something that makes me almost faint
"WHAT ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN PONYVILLE." she yells trying to fly up to me only to be stopped by her friend (I could tell it was a her by her voice) with the orange coat and blond mane.
"Now rainbow dash we can go hitting every thing now can we." the blond one says with a southern drawl and ill say it goes with her to she then looks up at me.
"sorry about our friend here she is just a little protective of us." she then looks over to her other friends then shrugs her shoulders "My name is applejack and this here is rainbow dash" she says pointing a hoof at the mare being named who just looks up at me.
"So do you talk or are you just going to sit there and stare." Rainbow dash said looking up at me waiting so I guess its time I introduce my self I look at the rest of my crew are just ready to loss it. Well here goes nothing
"I am sergeant first class Wesley D. Lowry of the United States Army 1st armored division. Now that you know my name can you tell me and my crew where the fuck we are?" In about two seconds the purple one yells at me.
"You can talk! I cant believe this princess Celestia will need to know about thi-" she cuts herself off "Wait you said us? right"
I nod my head at look down at my crew they all nod and we start getting out of the tank until all four of us are lined up in front of the tank. the girls look at us with worried expressions but then purple one takes charge.
"So I guess introductions are in order. I am twilight sparkle the local librarian and the personal student of princess Celestia." After her i nod to the next one with the indigo mane and white coat.
"My name is Rarity darling it is a pleasure to meat you and your friends." she says with a nervous laugh. I then look over to the pink one that is bouncing around the tank. She then stops in front of me and takes a deep breath of air.
"HIMYNAMESPINKYPIEWHATSYOURSOHWAITYOUALLREADYTOLDUS.INEEDTOGOPLANYOUPARTYANDYOURFRIENDSTO.ANDONEMOREQESTIONDOYOULIKECAKE?" she said at incredible speed I only got the last part about cake but I had to laugh at her antics.
"Yes pinky we do like cake and me and my friends would be glad to come to one of your parties, but could that wait for now you just meet us?" I said hoping that she would agree she puts a hoof up to her chin in thought then agrees with a nod of her head. I then go over to the last pony in the group. the shy looking one hiding behind her mane.
" so what is your name miss?" I ask in a soft whisper hoping she would come out of her little shell. Luckily she did and she then looked up at me whit a small smile.
"I'm fluttershy its nice to meet you mister Wesley." she says in a small voice I just smile kindly to her with a shake of my head.
"don't call me mister I never married just call me Wesley or Wes ok?" she gives a small smile and nods her head i then look over at my crew and decided to have some fun.
"Gentlemen give these pretty ladies you names and rank." they then proceeded to give there names then going back to where they where in front of the tank. Good now that is said and done we need to find somewhere to park the tank is getting close to dark. Looking over at twilight I walk up to her.
"Hey, Twilight is there any where we can park the tank so that we ain't out here in the morning." she thinks for a minute before telling me to fallow here to a big treehouse with a sigh that said Golding oaks library. She looks around and then turns to me.
"This should be a big enough spot for you 'tank' just don't run over any pony ok?" she says with a small smile I nod my head and walk over to Cody and tell him where to park the tank he then gets into the tank turns it on and scares the hell out of fluttershy I walk over to her and pat her back.
"Don't worry the tank cant do any harm unless we want it to and I don't want it to so there's nothing to fear. I promise." she looks up at me with a small smile and walks over to her friends. I look over and see Cody has parked the tank and is laying on top of the turret I walk over to the rest of my crew.
"Alright boys time to get the sleeping bags out of the tank so we don't freeze and check our rations as well" and with that we start getting stuff out of the tank and getting ready for lights out. The girls all decide to stay at twilights and walk in not to long after. We start getting into bed as well while eating MREs I look over at my crew and ask one thing that's been on my mind.
"What the fuck have we gotten our asses into?"
Author's Note
Well here you go chapter 2 I hope you like it and please tell me where
You ever wake up and get that feeling that you are being watched? Well that's how I fell now waking up. After I pull myself out of my sleeping bag all I see is ponies, ponies everywhere, they where walking around the tank some looking into it, one was looking down the barrel of the 120mm gun. So I get up and every single pony was staring at me, wonder why they are looking around now they should have heard the tank yesterday, oh well. I go around gently waking the guys up and bye that i mean going and kicking all three in the ass.
"What the fuck was that for boss I'm trying to sleep" Rodney looks up at me then at the ponies around the tank. I see a confused look in his eye then everything seems to come back to him like a Simi-truck.
"Aw shit we still in talking pony land ain't we sir?" All I do is nod my head with a small smile I walk over to Cody next, he don't seem that surprised of confused just, pissed? Walking over to him I put a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey Cody what's wrong with you, you look like you about kill someone." He looks up at me and for a second I think he is about to start swinging on me, but then he seems to calm down.
"Sorry sir its just I believe that I could have avoided this whole thing if I would have backed out, but no I had to stay where I was in fear of another T-72 coming out and hitting us in the rear so I just stayed put." He looks up at me I can see tears in his eyes. I sit down next to him with my hand still on his shoulder and look him in the eyes
"Now don't you start that bull shit today for two reasons, the first is because it is not your fault it is mine because I saw the rocket and failed to react to the situation, the second is because it is to early in the dam morning." I pat him on the back and go over to trey and notice he is still in his sleeping bag. So I do what I would do any other day, I grab the end of his bag and yank it into the air while yelling at him to get the fuck up. He gets up rubbing his head and muttering something about a tank round up the ass so I stop him.
"What was that private? You are going to shove what up my ass." I look ay him with my arms crossed and a smick on my face as he turns around with a not so happy look on his face
"No sir, I would never dream of doing something to someone who deserves it" he says with a little malice in his voice but I just smile at him shaking my head.
"Get your lazy ass in the tank and make sure those ponies isn't about to blow the town square up" He just nods his head and walks u to he tank with the ponies parting like the red sea as he climes onto the turret and sticks his head into the commands hatch then hops into the tank. While he is doing that I walk back over to Cody and tap him on the shoulder.
"Hey Cody I need you to check how much fuel we got left, we only have two cans left on the tank." He gets up and walks over to the tank and gets into the drivers hatch. While he is in there one of the ponies from yesterday, Twilight sparkle I think was her name, she walks over to Rodney then he shoos her away so she walks over to me with a bag full of parchment and quills all I can do is prey do God that she isn't going to question me. But something's just have to happen and she walks up to me.
"Um I was wondering if it was ok if I asked you a few questions about your race and this machine that came with you." I was about to say no when she used this puppy dog look on me,and with the sake of my manliness I wish I could say it didn't work well it did. I nod my head and start walking to the tank while she looks at me with her head tilted to the side and it was adorable.
" Why are you going over there?" I just motion with my head for her to fallow me to the rear of the tank with here coming up beside me and looks up at the tank. I start to get on when I realized she cant without some help so I go over to her and pick up in my arms much to her surprise.
"What are you doing? Put me down." I set her on the back of the tank then I get on myself leaning against the back of the turret trey throws out one of the shell casings with it landing right next to my head so I get up and look into the tank.
"You hit me with one of those casing I will throw a sabot round at you, you here me?" He just looks at me with a smirk and a nod. So with that done I go back to where I was and look over at twilight.
"So what do you want to know? I can promise you I'm no professor but ask away." She then proceeds to make her horn start glowing and I shit you not one of the parchments and quills started floating. All I do is stare will my jaw on the tank rising a shaking finger up at her.
"How in the hell are you doing that?" She looks at my finger with a confused expression on her face till she realizes what I'm tanking about then puts on a small smile pointing at her horn.
"Well I'm a unicorn, so I can do magic all I have to do is concentrate and well it happens." she looks at me with a frown.
"Do you not have magic? I mean you had to if you built this right?" I just shake my head thinking to my self what the fuck is all this. Realizing she is talking to me I look up at her muttering.
"Fucking pony land. No we don't have magic in our world and I dint build this it was made in a factory in the United States." She nods her head writing what I said down. When she finished writing that she looks up at me with a smile.
"Ok so my next question-" All I do is shake my head knowing this is going to be awhile.
four hours, four fucking hours of questions you would think they had a sign that you could buy that said shut the fuck up but I dint have any money anyway so that was out the window. I'm sitting here laying my head on the casing trey slung up here and I was almost to the point of taking a nap till she poked me with a quill.
"So what can you tell me about the machine that you where all in." I look around tank thinking of how to put this but I got bored and just decided to put it bluntly as possible.
"This is a M1A1 main battle tank or Abrams tank was built for the United States armed forces. it has one main gun, a smooth bore 120mm gun that can put something the size of a grapefruit into something the size of a van 2 miles away, it also has a m240 bravo as a coaxial machinegun next to the mail gun for soft targets like infantry. And last we have the M2 'MA DUCE' on top of the turret for the commander to use when he is looking out side of the tank. The engine is some kind of jet engine I don't know what kind but it allows this seventy ton monster to go over sixty mild per hour." I finish off with a smile. She is writing all of this down and when she finished she looks over at the main gun then back at me.
"What's the possibility of me and the girls getting to see a demonstration of these 'guns'?" I look a her then back at the turret.
"Well we would but we only have so many rounds and we don't want to waste them on target practice and also we have only two cans of fuel left." I look at her and see she is thinking about something then looks at one of the fuel cans I pointed and picked it up with her magic
"Duplication spell its a little complicated but there is better unicorns to do this but how many do you need?" I just hold up one more finger and she duplicates one more and almost passes out so I grab her before she falls off the tank.
"That is amazing twilight. HEY Rodney get your lazy ass up here and put this fuel into the tank." he gets up and runs over to where we are with a raised eyebrow.
"Where did you get the other fuel cans at?" I just point at twilight and he just shrugs and starts fueling the tank while I set twilight against the side plating she looks up at me.
"So does that you will show us the guns?" I just nod my head and look at the crew then back at her.
"Is there some kind of old building out side town that is to be demolished?" She nods her head and stands up although shaking and walks over to her library.
"I wonder if the girls are still here" She walks in then come out a few minutes later with applejack fallowing her heading my way.
"Applejack has a old shed she was planning on tearing down but she will let you use your machine do it instead. "She then walks back into the library and walks back out with the rest of the girls in tow and nods to me. I walk over to the tank and nod to the guys and they get into there positions while I walk over to the girls.
"Hop onto the tank and the turret. Applejack get next to me on the tank so you can tell me where to go. Alright?" they all clime onto the tank with applejack and rainbow dash next to me. With everyone and pony where they are supposed to be I get on the mic and have Cody start the tank up. All I hear is the rumble of the engine and the radio. I grab the mic
"Alright we are giving a weapons demonstration we are heading to where applejack tells us to go and to engage the target she gives us, copy." I get a yes sir from all of the guys while we start rolling down the road kicking up dost.
Five minutes later
"Trey small building to the left fire on my mark." I here a yes sir and look at the girls on the tank yelling.
"Get off the damm tank and cover your ears!" They all get off and go to a safe distance while I look at the small building I decided to use the fifty on my tank first. With a load *BANG BANG BANG* the rounds hit around the building the coaxial does the same thing. Now its time to get to the big seeing that the gun was lined up I grab the mic and yell 'fire' with a load BOOM and a fire ball coming out of the end of the barrel and a dust cloud being kicked up I grab the mic one more time
"status?" for a second nothing, then
"THAT WAS AWSOME"
Author's Note
So tell me how I did and I need ideas for the first engagement so please tell me what you would like to see. well good bye for now on ROLLING STEEL
After the weapons demonstration applejack asked us to keep the tank on her farm instead of rolling it all over town, and lets face it she's right these ponies have never seen a tank before and now as we are heading in the direction of the farmhouse. All I here over the tanks engine is pinkie talking about the big party she is planning for us and twilight is writing something down but I don't ask her because its none of my business what she writes about. Applejack points over to the side of a big red barn so I'm guessing that is where we are parking the tank, I nod my head and key the mic.
"Alright Cody park the tank on the right side of the barn this is where we get out for a while, at least until we find out on getting more full." I here a soft 'yes sir' in my headset. Rolling next to the barn the tank lurches to a stop and the engine shuts off so with that I take off my head set and sit it in the commanders seat and climb out of the tank with Rodney and trey fallowing me out and Cody climbing out of the drivers hatch and coming over to where we was. The girls come over to where we are as well with rainbow dash flying strait for my face so I did what any man would do in this type of situation, I jumped and ducked for cover, she stops and helps me up with a bright smile on her face.
"THAT WAS AWSOME you have to do it again. please." She gives us a puppy dog look that I'm sure gave me diabetes but I had to shake my head.
"No we cant we only have so many rounds and we ain't going to ask twilight to duplicate anymore after she almost passed out and fall off the tank." She looked so defeated but I was not about to put someone else's health at risk just for some tank rounds. Rainbow just nods her head sadly and walks over to Rodney while twilight walks over to me.
"I'm heading back to pony vile I need to send this letter to princess Celestia about your arrival I would have done it yesterday but after meeting you I completely forgot about it." I just nod my head while looking over at my tank crew with fluttershy talking to cody, applejack talking to trey and rainbow dash talking to Rodney I look back at twilight and walk over to the tank and look for something I think should still be in here.
"Yo boss what are you looking for?" I hear Rodney say from the side of the tank while I push a map out of the way finding what I was looking for, my iPhone 6s I cant believe I forgot it was in the tank at the time. So with my phone in hand I walk back over to twilight with looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
"what is that?" She says pointing a hoof at my phone I press the power button with the silver apple symbol coming on the screen then going black.
"This twilight sparkle is a iPhone 6s it is a device that allows me to get onto the internet or talk to people all over the world in a instant." She just looks at me then the phone then back at me.
"There is no way something that small can do that." I just look at her then call cody over to me with a smirk on my face.
"Cody can this phone let us get on the internet and talk to people all over the world?" He nods his head at twilight and she just sits there as I get on the internet and for some reason I got a internet signal and the battery says its charging but I blame one the only thing I can magic. The girls all come up to us with pinky coming up first.
" iGOTTOGOANDGETYOURPARTYREADYOKBYE" She says then just disappears leaving a dust cloud shaped like her. All I do is look at the girls with a raised,they all just say one thing.
"Its pinky don't ask." All I do is nod my head slowly with rarity walking up to us.
"I believe its time we give you gentalcolts a tour of ponyville. What do you say girls?" The girls all nod and start walking in the direction of ponyville with four humans fallowing.
Walking into ponyville we come up to a fancy little building that I can tell is rarity's home by the way it looks. Rarity walks up to the door and unlocks it.
"Welcome to my home,here is where I make beautiful dresses for the ponies of ponyville. So do you four have any clothes in that 'tank' of yours?" We just look at each other and realize we only have the ACUs we have on we look back at her and shake our heads. She gives a loud GASP and runs over to us with a tape.
" Why I must get your measurements so that I can make you all some new clothes." she then proceeds to use up an hour and a half to get all of out measurements then pushes us out of the house.
"I must get started, I will meet you all at pinkies party is that alright darlings?" we all just nod and wave when I look at twilights flank and noticed the marks on all of the girls flanks so I do the only I think to do, I ask.
"Twilight what is the mark on your flank called?" Twilight looks over at her flank then gets a smile on her face.
"That is called a cutie mark it symbolizes a pony's natural talent like my for example means that I am good at magic." I nod my head in understanding as we keep walking until we come across a, large ginger bread house? Twilight walks in front of us up next to the building with Rodney going next to it with twilight starting to talk.
"This is sugarcube corner and where pinkie pie lives now then lets head n back to the library." We fallow her to her home and when we got there twilight walked in with us fallowing and all I saw was books, books everywhere then a small lizard thing walks down the stairs it had a green belly and purple scales on the rest of its body.
"Hey twilight I reorganized the books f~ TWILIGHT BEHIND YOU THERES SOME MONSTERS." And with that he started throwing books at us one dictionary came and hit me right in the balls all I do is knell in the pain and then I heard yelling.
"SPIKE THEY ARE NOT MONSTERS NOW STOP THROWING BOOKS!" And with that the books stop flying and I get up holding my jimmies.
"To all those who say words cant hurt I beg to differ you self centered ass holes." This gets a laugh out of the guys and from applejack and rainbow dash. Twilight was talking to spike then he walked over to us with a sheepish smile.
"Sorry I hit you its just I had no idea who or what you where.by the way my names spike what's yours?" I just smile while the other guys are still laughing at me getting hit so I glare at them and they still don't stop so I do the only thing I can think of.
"Ok boys if you think its funny then we will have to have a little PT don't ya think guys, and don't worry spike its all good." And that was all it took to shut while I look back at spike.
"My name is sergeant first class Wesley Lowry but please just call me Wesley or Wes ok?" He nods his head while the guys name each other off to spike when twilight walks up to him.
"Spike I need you to send this letter to princess Celestia and Luna so that they know that wesley and them are here ok." Spike then grabs the letter and lights it on fire all I can do is stare but I give the fuck up its magic so fuck it. About a minute later spike then burps up a letter that twilight reads then she takes five steps to the right and now I'm blinded by a bright white light and hearing a gentle but commanding voice talking to me.
"So this is the human from the letter you sent me twilight?" With spots in my eyes I see twilight nod to a pony with both wings and a horn she had a bright white coat and a mane that blew in a nonexistent wind is as tall as me with a smaller pony with wings and a horn as well she had a blue coat she is taller then the average pony but not as tall as the white one. With them was two unicorns with gold armorer on and this Is the time where I find my voice.
"What kind of pony has wings and a horn twilight?" I look over at her and see the blue pony look at me and speak up.
"We are alicorns my sister and I my name Is princess Luna and my sister is princess Celestia." I nod my head at them but don't expect me to bow I'm not a citizen of this country but I speak up.
"My name is SFC Wesley D. Lowry of the United States Army I have no idea how me or my men got here all I ask is that my men are not harmed." I see Celestia nod her head while the guys introduce themselves. While this was going on luna walks up to me.
"We seen in the letter that twilight wrote that you had some kind of machine with you would you care to give us a weapons demonstration?" I see a hopeful look in her eyes then that's when twilight decided it was time to go to pinkies party since it was only about 20 minutes away and with that we all walk over to sugarcube corner. While walking there celestia and luna questioned us about the tank and when they can have a demonstration after discussing it we decided that we would bring the tank to canterlot tomorrow on a flatcar on the train and go to a special range that we can fire the guns. After all of that we arrived at the party walking in gave me a heart attack but not to long after I needed to get away from the crowds of ponies so I walked out the building and sat against the wall looking up at the night sky its just ,beautiful back on earth I would always look up at the sky most of the time it was during boot I would almost give up but then I would look up at the sky and it would just calm me like it was telling me everything would be ok. While sitting there I see luna walk out and over to me.
"Do you not enjoy party's?" I just laugh while shaking my head.
"Its nothing against party's its just crowds I hate being in them I don't know why." She nods her head and looks up at the sky.
"So what do you think?" She points up at the sky then looks back at me" I made it myself." I just look at her wpundering what the hell she was talking about.
"So I'm guessing twilight didn't tell you." I just shake my head as she sighs and tells me how her and her sister control the sun and the moon all I do is stare with my jaw down causing her to giggle and let me say it was the most adorable giggle I have ever heard I could hear it for years and never get tired of hearing it.
"So how do you like my night sky?" she says while looking at me for an answer.
"If you want me to be honest its way better than earths and is twice as beautiful I could stare at it all night, you did amazing princess." looking back at her I see she is blushing.
" T-T-Thank you wesley but please call me luna." I smile and nod at her with a wave of my hand.
"Then just call me Wes ok luna and one question where did your guards go?"
"My sister teleported them back to canterlot." I nod my head and continue looking up at the night sky with luna.
With the party over the girls where trying to find out who would stay where so cody is staying with fluttershy trey is staying with applejack while Rodney is staying with rarity and I'm staying with twilight. When we got back to the library twilight says goodbye to the princesses when luna walks up to me.
"I want to say thank you for what you said about my night and I cant wait to see you with your 'tank' tomorrow " I just nod my head with a smile.

well this is chapter four and I want you guys to continue to give me amazing new idea well anyway good night my friends!!!!
I get up off twilights couch gasping for air it was the nightmare I have been having since we got here the voices, explosions and the blood it was everywhere. I shakenly walk up the stairs to twilights bed but I see her on a desk across the room reading, big surprise. Walking over to her I tap her on the shoulder causing her to jump up and throw the book she was reading at me and hitting right in the nuts, again, all I do is slowly curl up in a ball on the floor and accept that I have pissed God, or what ever dignity is up in the clouds, of and badly all I hear is twilight apologizing while I hold my jewels.
"Oh my goodness wes I am so sorry you just scared me and I didn't mean to throw the book please don't hate me." I slowly get back on my feet and look over at her.
"Why would I hate you its my fault I should not have scared you like that alright and apology accepted. Now where is the shower and washing machine I know I have got to be starting to stink." Twilight still looks like she is about to cry but points up the stairs.
"Up the stairs down the hall second door on the left and about your clothes I can use a spell to clean them while you shower. but why do humans where clothes anyway?. All I do is blush while walking up the stairs and stopping at the top and turning to face her.
"Well you see about that humans don't have fur all over our bodies only on certain places so we have to where clothes to keep us warm." I loo at her for a moment before I start walking down the hall way with my hand on the doorknob when twilight runs up the stairs.
"But its summer." I run into the bathroom and lock the door before she could stop me. with a sigh I start taking my clothes off and walk over to the shower and besides it being a little smaller It looks like and other shower from home and a lot of lavender products all I do is start the water and stand in it for a few minutes before washing my hair and getting out of the shower and drying my self off and putting my under where on and picking up my ACUs and carrying them out and walking to the top of the stairs to see twilight reading again.
"Hey twilight can you do that spell or whatever it is to clean these please." She looks at me for a second before walking up to the stairs and takes the uniforms and in a flash of purple they are good as new but she does not give them back and looks at me with a smirk.
"I will give them back if you tell me why you where them at all times." I look into her eyes and see that she will not let me get away with this so I sigh and sit on her still not made up bed.
"Twilight how do I explain this? oh fuck it. We where them because our dicks don't go anywhere they just hang that's all they do so there is you answer." Her face when from purple to crimson red in about point two seconds then she throws the uniform at me before running back down the stairs and putting her face right back into the book. While she continues to read i put my uniform back on and walk back down the stairs and walk up to twilight and tap her on the shoulder and back away incase of another book attack but all she does is turn her head to the side with her face still red but with an ear facing my way.
"Umm twilight where are we meeting the girls and my crew at?" She refuses to look at me but puts the book down.
"We meet them at sweet apple acres in about ten minutes so get ready alright." I nod my head and wait on her as she gets her stuff ready but one thing I'm trying to figure out. How the hell are we getting the tank up into that mountain city so I ask twilight
"How are we getting the tank up to canterlot is that its name?" She nods her head while going back up the stairs to wake spike up talking as she walks.
"The princess has a flatcar waiting at the train station so you guys can load the tank onto it and ride in a car with us." I nod my head and see spike walking into the kitchen but twilight stopped him and waved for me to fallow her out the door and after she locked the door we walk down the main dirt road to applejacks to meet up with the rest of the girls and my crew.
"Rodney give me a report on the tank." He looks back at the tank for a second and back at me shaking his head.
"Its not good sir we only have two cans of fuel left and ammo is the same but what good is that without fuel." I just nod my head and look back over at twilight.
"Twilight do we leave now or do we have to wait till the next train leaves?" She thinks for a second before looking into her saddlebag? is that what its called? Anyway she pulls out a note and reads it before looking back at me.
"We can leave now so that we can go on and get settled in the castle the princess want to wait till tomorrow to have the demonstration anyway. They are waiting for some officials to come in for this as well." And with that cody gets into his little drivers hatch while Rodney and trey go into mine and get into position and last i get into my seat and put my helmet and head set when the engine turns over and with that the girls get onto the turret except for fluttershy and rainbow dash who just start flying next to the tank and pinkie was talking my ear off as we rolled back to ponyville.
"WEAREGOINGTOHAVEABIGPARTYTOCELEBRATEICANTWAITTHEREISGOINGTOBECAKEANDGAMESAN~" Applejack then proceeds to shove her hoof into pinkies mouth shutting her up for now but that has got to be unsanitary oh well. As we rolled threw the town ponies where watching and fouls where running up to the tank only to be stopped by there parents and at the train station I see the flat car and apparently so does cody because the tank then goes to the open end that has some ramps I have the tank stop and let the girls off and load the tank I have trey turn the turret to where it is facing the rear of the tank and we all disembark and start tying it down. After getting the tank tied down and locking it up we all go to the train car where the girls have already showed a royal pass to the ticket booth pony and sit down. After about tree minutes the train starts heading for canterlot and on the way there I decide to take a nap.
I wake up to the intercom saying we are about to enter canterlot and then I notice that everyone and pony was looking at me and snickering all I do is raise an eyebrow and them that's when rainbow points at my side and so I look and there is twilight curled up in a ball asleep against my side so I poke her in the side waking her up. All she does is stare at me with wide eyes all I do is smirk at her and get up and walk out of the train and see a beautiful city full of high class ponies that are staring at me and my friend so I do what I think is right I flip them all of and walk over to the tank with the crew and start untying the tank when celestia and luna walking with a few guards and stop at the car as we are getting into the tank then celestia flies up to me as i put my head set on.
"Please fallow me to the castle grounds we will hold the demonstration till tomorrow but you are more than welcome to stay in the castle." I nod my head as cody starts the engine and slowly backs the tank off the car and starts to fallow the princess then luna flies up and lands on the turret and starts talking to me but I cant hear her because of the tank so i hold my hand up for her to stop for a moment as I look in a case next to my seat that has a extra headset that I then hand to her and show her how to work it. she then starts to say where I can gear her.
"So this is the 'tank' twilight sparkle was talking about. So we have a area that we test new explosives and other weapons so it will be the perfect place to show us what this can do." I look back at the full cans and look back at luna.
"We cant do much we only have so much fuel and ammo once it runs out we are done." I see luna brink a hoof up to her chin in thought then flies to celestia and speaks with her and after a brief conversation flies back up to the tank and still has the head set on.
"We have asked our sister about this and she says that we can hire a few unicorns to duplicate all the resources you need." She then smiles at me and I do the same to her and looking forward again I notice we are at the castle so I radio cody to stop the tank as the royal guard opens the gate and we fallow celestia to a open area where we are to park the tank and we do. After turning the off we get out of the tank and button the hatches and walk over to where the princesses are while a few royal guards take up positions around the tank so I look over at celestia she just smiles.
"They will make sure nopony will mess with you machine. Now come we will go to the dining hall and then you will be shown to your rooms. All I do is nod my head and fallow her into the castle with everyone else and after going around god knows how many corners we walk into a large room with a bigass table. We all take our seats and order what we can we still have not told them we eat meat but we are not to eat any for as long we are here. In the middle of eating a unicorn with a white coat and blond mane walks in and as soon as he sees us he screams, and I'm not talking about a manly scream I'm talking about a girl screams more like a guy then he did.
"Auntie what are these things doing at the royal table? Guards remove them at once." The guards looked confused as what to do then celestia spoke up.
"Guards you are to do no such thing they are guest and will be treated as such." The guards then stay where they are while the pony looks like he is about to blow a fuse.
"Auntie I will not dine with these things." I look up at him because he was starting to piss me off so I decided to say something.
"Why don't you go back to your room where your boyfriend can give you something to eat instead." The whole room was silent as celestia and luna where trying not to laugh while the pony just glares at me while he leaves the room. Everyone was looking at me with either jaws on the ground or where trying not to die laughing that's when celestia spoke up.
"I am sorry about my nephew blueblood he tends to be a little." luna then cuts her off with a smile.
"Stuck up" All I do is laugh at that then start yawning and look over at celestia.
"I'm sorry I'm not trying to be rude but where is my room I'm starting to get tired." Celestia just smiles and calls over a guard who is to show me where my room is. After about two minutes of walking we come up to a door that I'm guessing is my room so I walk in and flop on the bed and fall into sleep almost instantly. I hope tomorrow is better.

Well here is chapter five I hope you all like it,now I need someone to do me a favorer find me a picture of luna with a tank commanders helmet I would really love that, well that's all for now good night my friends
All I see is tracers flying everywhere pinging off the side of my tank then a explosion goes off to my left sending shrapnel and debris my way. The 7.62 mg is popping off shots in the direction of the enemy when I see cody in front of me.
"What the fuck are you doing? get back in the damn tank." All he does is stands there then looks me in the eyes.
"wake up" and he says it over and over until I see a bright light heading for the front of the tank and impacts the front of the tank.
I wake up with a yell and hit my head on something hard opening my eyes I look around wondering where I was then I remember that I was in canterlot castle and look at the side of my bed and see cody on his ass rubbing his head.
"What the hell sir I was just waking you up because we got to go and meet the princess in ten minutes." I just smirk at him while rubbing my head as well. "well that's what you get for standing over me dumbass now go wake the others and meet me in the throne room." He nods his head and walks out the door grumbling while I go into the bathroom and brush my teeth and other tings we do in the morning. Feeling better I walk out the door and ask one of the guards to show me where the throne room is and after a three minute walk I'm where I need to be and going in I find the princess and twilight and her friends waiting on us I also notice that the rest of my tank crew is not here so I walk over to the princess and see what we are doing.
"Princess can I ask what we will be doing today?" Celestia looks over at me with a smile. while luna walks over and starts talking to one of the guard.
"We will be meeting the griffin ruler grey wing so that he does not think that you are a threat and uses that as a excuse to attack equestria we have not been on good terms these past few years but they have not attacked us yet." I nod my head when the door opens and the rest of my crew walks in so I walk over to them to them and let them know about what we are going to be doing today.
"Alright listen up today we are meeting some griffin guy named grey wing and they are not to friendly with the ponies so don't piss him off I'm looking at you Rodney." He holds his hand to his heart and looks at me.
"Sir I cant believe you would single me out when have I ever fucked something up?" I was about to tell the story of what happened on the USS Enterprise when celestia walked over to me and nods to my crew and brings me over to the side.
"I'm sorry to say that only you will be in this meeting I don't want the griffins getting intimidated by all of you in there with them I would not like to start a war today." I nod when she starts leading me to another room and walking in the door I notice a multitude of floor pillows they use as seats and luna was already sitting at one end of the table and me and celestia sit by her and then we wait and wait and wait I look at my watch and if its right we have waited for the better half of an hour when suddenly the door barges open and a griffin walks in with two guards flanking him. He has a long grey robe and a crown on his head and the only thing going on I'm=n my head was that this was going to fucking suck.
For about a good two hours the ponies and griffins talked but did not talk about the human sitting In the room until now.
" Princess what is this thing sitting before me?" I have never wanted to punch some one so bad but I don't need to start a war. yet. Celestia looks over at the king with a glare.
"HE is one of the humans you where to see." The king brings a talon to his beak in thought.
"Right and the machine that they brought with them I would like to see it as well and I want my scientist to be able to take it with us to study." He looks at celestia waiting for a answer but she just points at me.
"It is his property he is the one who will allow that or not." The king then looks at me and then back at celestia.
"If it is his then I shall just take it there is nothing he can do I don't think he can even understand what we are saying." If I was mad before I was pissed now so I tell him what is going to happen.
" No you will not take the tank and no you can not see the tank it is property of the United States government and you will not have it." The griffin looks surprised at first but then get a look of rage on his face.
" I will take what I want for you have no say in what happens in this land." Celestia then smirks and looks at him.
"But him and the others have been given temporary citizenship so you have no right to take the tank am I understood grey wing?" I lean back with a smirk on my face as he tries to come up with something to say.
"Mark my words I will have that technology and I will do what I see fit to try and take it even if it means war now I will give you one last chance give, me, the, machine." I look at him with a smile
"nope." he just looks at me then celestia.
"I hope you know what you have started ill be back." And with that he leaves the room while we walk back to the throne room to find the girls and guys paying cards when cody looks up at me.
"How did it go boss?" cody asked getting up.
"Boys I may have just started a wa-" Before I could finish my sentence there was a explosion and looking out the window I see it was at the where house where the tank was at looking at the ponies and humans I say only one word
"FUCK!"

Chapter six my friends I hope you like it and yes I know it is short. and can someone find a picture of luna on a Abrams for me? well bye for now peace
We where all running down the hall but then I stop everyone.
"We need to get too my room first I have my pistol in there so its something to use for self-defense." Celestia nods to one of her guards who starts running down the hall. I fallow the guard but stop and turn back to my crew.
"Boys I have no idea what's down there so be ready and if you get the chance get into the tank and protect the ponies, am I understood?" I get a few quick ' yes sirs ' I nod my head and run after the guard we take too rights and then a left and come up to my room I burst in the door and find a griffon guard looking around the room I think to my self 'You sneaky little fucker' I run to the griffon before he sees me and hit him hard in the back of the head effectively knocking him out. I look over at the guard who I fallowed.
"Tie him up I want to question him later. alright?" He nods his head and gets some rope and ties up the guard while I grab a bag from under the bed and pull out my standard issue M9 with three clips then I run out the door and to the warehouse where the tank is at.
After about a full minute of running down halls I find my way outside and I look up into the air and fallowed the smoke to where I need to be. I go in an open gate and see that griffon and equestrian guards fighting for control of the warehouse then I see trey go into the building then Rodney and then last cody. The fighting stops when I hear the roar of the Abrams engines come to life then the tank come crashing out the door and aiming at one of the griffon guards. It was at that moment the griffon knew he fucked up. With one short burst from the 7.62 and he was dead then the turret swung around and looked for more targets before stopping on me then the tank rolled to my location and Rodney popped his head out of the loaders hatch.
"Nice of you to join us sir want to have some fun?" I smile and jump onto the tank and get into my command seat and loaded my fifty with that we started to help the equestrian guard fight off the last of the griffons 'How many guards does a guy need?' I just shake my head and start putting lead down range and calling targets for the 7.62 and Rodney was on his m240 Bravo popping shots off as well. This goes on for about two more minutes then it was over all griffons that where here that are still alive surrender all the rest where dead. I notice something when we where just sitting there so I grab my mic.
"Where is the princesses? Are they injured?" Rodney then looks over to me.
"No they are in some kind of safe room at least the girls are but the princess is most likely protecting anypony she can." I nod my head and look back to the front of the tank and see princess Luna and Celestia walking to the tank but don't have the king.
Celestia looks up at me and jumps up and lands on the turret then looks down at me.
"Grey wing got away with the rest of his personal guard but he will pay for this." It was at that moment I saw three chariots about to fly over so I grab my mic and radio trey.
"Trey I got a airborne target load canister shot don't fire till my mark." I hear him say yes sir and then I give him the direction they where coming from the turret swung over and the gun elevated to aim. I waited for about seven seconds before giving the order.
"FIRE" And with a deafening BOOM! the rounds where off and I notice one of the chariots fall apart well it was not the one we where aiming for but ill take it. I watch as the other two take off west. Some guards where cheering while others where looking for friends that whould never come back Celestia looks over at me.
"Why did he do this?" I just look at her and tell her the only thing I can.
"War, war never changes." while we are just sitting here I realize something and look over at the princess.
" I want to know how the fuck he was planning on getting the tank to his country its 78 tons and I know they cant drive." All this does is make celestia facehoof and cody bust out laughing while I wonder what I have gotten this country into. I need a nap and a beer.
