CNN:
"Polls in Iowa continue to be in favor of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, who remains with a 33.6% lead. Analysts say, however, that his lead could be challenged by New York governor Mitchell Larson, whose swift response to the still lingering effects of Winter Storm Jonah in New York City and Long Island have resulted in a steady rise over Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, which may be what's needed to...."
Donald Trump turned off the television."Damn it, Larson.", he thought to himself.
Though he didn't allow himself to show it, Trump was getting more and more nervous as the Iowa caucuses edged closer and closer. He sat at his desk in his hotel room, already finished with a rough script for his speech that he planned on giving in front of the Iowa state capitol in less than two hours, and mulled over recent events.
"Thank God for Sarah Palin, or else Larson might already be ahead.,he thought again.
His campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, knocked on the door. Trump got up and opened the door.
"Oh, hello Corey. What's going on?", he asked.
Corey had a handful of papers in his hands, and he started rifling through them.
"Well, Mr.Trump, I believe we need to talk about Governor Larson." he said.
"No, I didn't think about that." Trump replied sarcastically.
Corey decided to ignore the sarcasm, being normal for Trump, and continued. "We don't have much on him. He was a script writer for several animated shows in LA before he moved to New York and ran for governor back in 2011."
"Probably why he's so goddamn good at speeches." Trump muttered grouchily." Keep lookin' for something, I've got a speech to make, and a socialist to pick apart."
He walked past Corey out of the room, leaving him standing bewildered. He made the trip down to the lobby, while calling for a limousine on his cell phone.
White House
Washington, D.C.
President Barack Obama was writing at his desk in the Oval Office when there was a knock at the door. His Secret Service agent looked through a peephole in the door, and after getting approval, let the person in.
Secretary of Defense Ash Carter walked in, and started in, "Mr. President, we need you in the Situation Room."
The President stood up as more agents walked in the room, ready to escort him. The two men walked out of the Office, and started the walk, nearly silent on the way down.
Soon, he walked in with Carter, and sat down with everyone else, who included the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Vice President Joe Biden.
"Talk to me." the President said simply.
Carter stood up. "Mr. President, about an hour ago, satellite pictures have detected a large disturbance on the Atlantic Ocean." ,he gestured toward pictures on a projector, "It appears to be a large type of landmass. We thought it was an error, but we got reports from naval ships in the area that confirms the authenticity of this."
The President was stunned. After dealing with many things throughout his presidency, he simply expected his last year in office to be uneventful, and now they had a friggin continent in the Atlantic to deal with! "Michelle's gonna be pissed." he thought to himself.
"Have any of the ships made contact yet?" he asked.
Carter stated, "No, sir, while the continent appears to be populated, it doesn't seem to be capable of sending radio signals."
The President then made a decision, "I want one of our ships to land and make contact."
Princess Luna
Seaddle, Equestria
The Princess of the Night was unsure of herself. While she was visiting Seaddle to attend an Equestrian charity concert in her honor, it seemed that the very earth had shaken throughout, bringing loads of concertgoers into a panic and resulting in the disappearance of the star, Countess Coloratura.
A royal guardspony looked at her nervously. "Princess, we must go before these ponies go insane!" he yelled over the roar of the crowd.
"Nonsense." Luna said." I must calm them down"
She then lifted off into the air, right onto the stage, and shouted, "Everypony, settle down!"
The crowd didn't heed her, so she shouted in the Royal Canterlot Voice, "CALM YOURSELFS, EVERYPONY!"
Finally, the noise level was reduced to soft whispers as Luna prepared to speak. "Do not worry everypony, for the event that you just witnessed was a simple earthquake. I must ask that..." she trailed off, because she suddenly noticed a large, menacing metal contraption moving into Seaddle Harbor. The crowd noticed, and immediately started walking toward the harbor in fascinated stares.
"Really, frightened by an earthquake, but not a giant machine?" Luna thought to herself.
She looked out as the contraption settled in its spot just at the entrance to the harbor. It suddenly did something nopony ever expected.
"Hello, this is the USS Hue City, can you respond?" it shouted out in a scratchy sounding voice.
Princess Luna blinked in surprise, and continued staring at the strange machine.
"Repeat: This is the USS Hue City, can you respond?", it repeated.
Luna finally decided to make a decision. She again lifted up her wings, and flew off toward the machine.
USS Hue City (CG-66)
Off the coast of Seaddle
Admiral James Grozny was at the edge of the ship, staring out at the strange new city with his other officers. James was a tough man, having enlisted in the navy and served in the ever-raging War on Terror, and had a son who enlisted after 9/11.
"What do you all think is over there?" he asked his fellow officers.
"I don't know sir, but the city kinda reminds me of Seattle, it's got something like a Space Needle over there. Maybe it's like back home" Vice Admiral Dwight Barnhardt replied.
"Oh my God,look!" one of the enlisted men nearby yelled. They looked out as a bluish streak headed directly to the ship.
"Oh, fuck." Grozny muttered. He knew the "missile" was too close for evasive maneuvers, so he uttered a quick prayer that their deaths would be quick. It then surprised him when the streak slowed down to a stop, right in front of the officers.
They looked in awe at the strange creature, which looked like a giant horse with wings. Some of the enlisted men aimed guns at the creature, who looked at them with curiosity. Grozny finally stepped up to it.
"I am Admiral James Grozny of the USS Hue City, and we are here for peaceful intentions. What is your name?"
The creature didn't halt. " I am Princess Luna of Equestria."
Grozny decided to continue, " How did you and this continent even land on Earth, if you don't mind me asking?"
Princess Luna stuttered, "Earth?" "What in Celestia's name happened?, she thought to herself.
