War In Another World
Rude Awakening (Proudly Revised)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA cold breeze runs across and against the grass as it waives around from the winds force. Swaying back and forth in the direction the wind blows from, through the hedgerow bushes, then upon a sleeping, but slowly awakening, Alicorn.
Twilight feels a cold breeze run over her, making her shiver and to stir from her slumber.
'Why is it so cold?' Twilight thought, her eyes still closed.
She begins to open her eyes slowly, with every blink for her eyes only to see grass and bush in front of her. But the more she moves her legs, head, and get wings, she feels something different move under her, but highly familiar.
'Why...do I feel grass and dirt?' Her body beginning to power up more with a weird and uncomfortable feeling moves under her.
She first stands up on her front hooves, then her back hooves, with a flap or two from her wings to help her up.
'Ahhh, why do I feel so weak, I don't remember staying up that late, or doing any random spell I found.'
But with her body slowly coming back to normal functiom, so does her hearing in her ears.
"Or do I remember going outside-"
*Boom*
Twilight jumps at the sudden loud, but muffled explosion, her mind and body to instantly wake up. Jumping up from the ground in a swift second.
With her vision and hearing fully functioning, Twilight looks around her surroundings.
"What...where....where am I-"
*Boom*
She jumps again at the loud explosion, but for another and another of the same noise to be heard repeatily.
She looks around her surroundings to see and hear from where it came from, breathing in-and-out very quickly as she looks in every direction from where the explosion came from.
She looks around her surroundings, but the forest she was in was as dark and thick as the Everfree Forest, but the plant life and structure she sees was something she hasn't seen before IN the Everfree Forest or ANYWHERE in Equestria, but again, it doesn't feel like the Everfree Forest, it felt different.
She hears the explosive noise again, but could not see anything. She looks up into the thick covering
Of the trees that blacks out the dark sky, but when looks more at it, she can barely see flashes of yellow light that illuminate through it.
"What is that sound!?" Twilight said panicking.
She spots a opening in the forest, flashes of yellow light barely seen coming from it.
"I need to get out of here."
He makes a full sprint towards the opening, while she can still hear the loud explosions all around her.
Twilight rushes through, a few leaves falling on her coat, but falling off against the wind speed of how fast she ran through the bush.
When passed through the bush, she stops in tracks for her when she stop upon a open dirt field, and a night sky filled of the loud, bright explosive sounds.
Everywhere she looks at the night sky, she sees more of the bright explosive lights, along with streaks of yellow lines that were flying towards the sky off the ground.
The loud explosive sounds was heard all around her.
As she watches the amount of activity happening everywhere she looked, she catches a glimpse of something in the dark night sky, but just only black silhouettes of the object.
It was flying dragon-looking objects flying across the night sky, from what she could make out of it, two outwards-stretching wings and a smaller pair just at the very end of its tail.
There were hundreds of them, hundreds of them that flew across the night sky, everywhere she turned and looked. As Twilight could hear its continuous growling sound, that sounded like the train engine in Equestria, but different, louder and more rapidly.
But even in more numbers, there were white-colored clouds, but very different. They were moving, and were shaped, again, different.
it was to much, so much happening, the pony princess could not focus on one thing, or even think of where she was.
"Okay, calm down Twilight, you wake up in the middle of a forest at night," Twilight said as she slowly walks backwards, her head turning towards the flashes of light every time one goes off, "then rush into a field, endinh up in a place very unknown or you never seen before, and now, you have no idea where you are, no idea how you got here..."
She spots one of the flying beast on fire, its wings completely on fire, flying across the night sky like a meteor at night, as it slowly descends towards the ground.
"...its...its...o...kay...just..."
Tears start to stream out of eyes, her emotions starting to show and feel. Then dropping onto the dirt ground, her hooves trying to cover her ears, trying to block out the loud explosions, shutting her eyes closed, trying to block the bright flashes of light, but could still see it through her eye lids.
"Please, just make it stop, just make it stop, I just want to go home, Luna, please rid me of this nightmare!" She tries to teleport, thinking of the images of her home that she could go to, cycling between every place, thing, location, building, pony.
The flashes and thoughts of her friends, Celestia, Cadence, Shining, Ponyville, her treehouse, home...Equestria. But nothing was happening with her magic, her horn's aura only dimly blinking a few times before turning off. "...please, just let this end-"
*Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
Twilight opens her eyes of the loud repeating sound, lifting her head off the ground, and her eyes to go wide, her body stiffing, her breathing stopping.
In the distance, but closing fast, was one of the flying beasts, but it was on fire completely, the entire body, the wings. As it starts to speed and descend rapidly upon Twilight's location.
"H-holy. Celestia." Twilight said, motionless.
She stares at the Fiery Beast as it finally impacts onto the field, causing a huge and powerful shaky force under her hooves, causing her to stumble to her knees. But she still watches as piles of dirt fly in the air, pieces of the beast coming off as it slams into the ground, flying in different directions, the same also with its wings, breaking off of its body. A wall of inferno erupting into the air, as she can feel the heat from where she stands, and as it slides against the dirt floor towards where Twilight stands in shock and paralyzed of the scene, not moving a single muscle.
Only for herself to fall onto the ground, and into a unconscious state.
It was the last thing she sees, as the front part of the beast coming right at her.
...
...
...
...
...
...
Twilight can hear voices
But it sounded different.
She begins to open her eyes, for her to flinch at the amount of light she is met with. She hears the crackling of fire around her, feeling heat come upon her coat, very intense heat. The smell of smoke and burning metal in the air. Her eyes slowly ignores and adjust to the heat and smoke, and could only see fire and pieces of metal around her.
"Ow." She tries to get up, but to stops and met was a pain in her leg, causing to flinch and wince at the pain.
She looks to her leg area to only see that a piece of metal beam was on both of her back legs, but most of the pressure and pain came from the back right leg, where the weight of the beam was mostly pressured on.
She tries to slide it out of the beam but was met with more pain. She quickly stops, breathing heavily from the attempt and the amount of smoke around her.
"Einer lebt!"
She stops and hears the strange language again. The words was very unknown to her, nor did she understand it.
At the corner of her eye, she sees movement in the fire.
Twilight tries to move her body to get a better look, but she then again is met with more pain on her leg.
Twilight tries to concentrate her eyes past the fire, until she can finally see the full structure and outline of the moving creature.
It was tall and appeared to be walking on two legs, a bipedal creature, from what she can see. But knowing it was a live-moving creature.
'What are those things?' She thought.
But then a another of the same two-legged creature popped out from behind the first one, as they seem to be dragging something in their arms.
Moments later, they stop in a open area, still in the middle of the burning wreckage, giving a full view and line of sight for Twilight of their position.
Both creatures then move apart, releasing something that was in their arms. As it falls onto the ground, causing a little dirt to poof into the air.
It looks like they don't notice her under the metal beam.
She watches the creatures more, but could not make out any detail of them due to her stinging to the smoke and and heat, but the creature began speaking again, two in the weird, unknown language, and another speaking...Equestrian?
'They speak...Equestrian.' Twilight thought in her head.
"Just...kill me already."
She heard the Equestrian-spoken creature, but sounded weak and tired.
Then for another one of the creatures to come into view, one that shaped different than the others, but one that spoke the unknown language. It stops in front of the one one its knees, the one that spoke weakly.
"Come on, just kill me, I have nothing to tell to you Krauts."
"...Nach ihm." Said the newly arrived creature, flicking his hand at the other two, who began to open pockets, and pouches, putting their hands in them.
For one of them to pull out what looks like a paper out of the weak creature's chest pouch, then handing it to the Commanded-Creature, grabbing it and opening.
"Hmm, you have family?" Asked the Leader, but spoken in the same language as the other one, with its head down.
"..."
"Answer me American."
Twilight could only watch in curiosity, ignoring everything around her, and just watch the situation unfold.
"...yes..."
"This your wife and child?"
"..."
"Come on American, I don't want to send you back to your country and family in a body bag." Said the questioning leader, kneeling on one leg.
"..."
There was a few more seconds of silence.
"Look around you...your planes being shot down like flies, they crash and be destroyed, along with your comrades, so many dead by now." He said, his hands gesturing towards the night sky.
"..."
"Look, you tell me why you are here-"
Twilight gasped, but silent enough to not be heard.
The weak creature then spits on the leaders face, the leader flinching back at the spit of saliva, causing the other two guarding soldiers to the hit him with the elongated, long objects in their hands, making the weakened one to fall forward on the ground. Both armed creatures then raise their weapons to the one on the ground.
Slowly, the one who got spit on wiped the saliva off his face, then slowly turn his head towards the other.
"Hole ihn wieder auf"
Both armed creatures pick him back up on its knees.
The leader wipes off the spit, then looking back at the offender.
"I gave one chance to you, and you ruined your chance to live free." Said the leader, but more aggressively.
"I would rather die than give you Krauts anything."
"Well, let me give you a free ticket to not see your whole nation burn." The leader pulls out a rectangular object with a handle in the leaders hand, and a long tube to come out of it. He puts it to the creature's head, then pulls something on the handle.
*Boom*
A yellow flash flashes out of the tube, followed by a loud, deafening bang, causing Twilight to flinch and move her legs, including her trapped and injured leg.
The sudden loud bang caused Twilight to flinch and move it to cause a serious amount unbearable pain, letting out a loud and crying shriek, a few tears to come out of her eyes to the amount of pain she felt.
"Argh!"
The shriek catches the German soldiers attention.
They looks towards the sounds, weapons at the ready. Twilight breathing heavy and crying.
'Please, just LET THIS NIGHTMARE STOP!' She yells in her mind, more tears to come out.
"Hör zu."
The German Officer ordered the two German Regulars.
The two Germans begin to walk slowly and cautiously to sounds' direction, passing through a bit of destroyed plane parts.
Twilight looks up, bits of tears across her face, she then spots the two slowly approaching Germans.
'They're coming this way, but I can't. move.' Twilight was trapped under the large piece of metal object, she didn't have the strength or mana to lift it off. She was helpless.
Both soldiers finally past through the fired walls and debris, until they both finally reach the source of the noise.
For them to stop and look upon a trapped purple-colored pony.
Twilight could only stare in fear as the two creatures aim their weapons at her.. But only confused faces, as both soldiers look at each other.
One of the Germans speak back to their officer, Twilight still not understanding.
The Officer responds back, then the two holster their weapons onto their backs, then start to lift the beam off her.
"No stop, get away from me." Twilight said to the two creatures, causing them to stare in awe and confusion at the talking pony.
The leader responds back to them and the two snap out of their stare and start to lift the beam off again
"No, stop, I warn you!" Twilight said as a warning, but knew she couldn't do anything.
but the beam is lifted off instead, and they both grab Twilight on her two front legs and began to drag her to their Officer.
Twilight struggles against the two creatures dragging her, but could not do much due her injured leg.
The German Officer gestures to the two privates to outside more into the darkness, away from the burning debris.
But on the way out, Twilight stares at the executed and dead creature, seeing him on his back, blood coming out of where the bullet went through, his eyes still open.
"You three," the Officer pointing towards three searching Germans, "Search for anything else in the wreckage, you four, secure the perimeter."
The Germans move to their given orders, for the Officer and Twilight and the other Germans to come into a more open area, away from the heat and smoke and more into the cool, but dark air.
They stop and the Officer turns to the pony. Twilight stop being dragged, the two Germans letting go of her, her dropping to the ground, but also falling on her injured leg, wincing from the impact on her leg.
"Ow." Twilight could only say.
A few seconds of silence, except for Twilight's panting.
"So, a talking horse." Said the Officer, looking down upon Twilight for her to look back up.
"W-why did you have to kill him...he just spit on you and nothing else, but...you didn't have to...kill him" Twilight responded, looking back the Officer, feeling terrified and in horror of what she just saw.
"He wasn't being responsive or nice."
"But why did you..." Twilight said, drifting off and looking at the pistol still in his hand.
"And lets not hope I have to use it again." The Officer said, making Twilight more uncomfortable. The officer to holster his pistol.
"..."
"You're not from here, are you?" Asked the Officer.
"Of course I'm not!" Twilight said panting, her heart-racing, "I don't know how I got here, I-I was just sleeping, and when I woke up, I was here." Twilight managed to quickly say, stuttering at the explanation, a lot of things going through her mind.
The creature was making Twilight nervous, and she didn't like at all already.
"Could you, please, tell me where-"
"Those are real wings and horn, are they?" Interrupting Twilight.
"Um, yes they are real, I'm...a pony." Twilight responded, taken back by the question.
"What's your name?"
"...my name is Twilight Sparkle."
"Do you have...magic?" The officer continued to ask.
"Um...y-y-yes I...do..."
"Show me." He said.
"...but...I don't think I can't-"
"Show me!" The Officer yells, putting his face quickly in front of Twilight, causing her to back up.
What happened next was unexpected to Twilight, as her horn instantly glows with a purple aura and shooting out a bolt of magic, striking the officer's face, causing him to stumble backwards as streams of steam starts hissing off the Officer's face, covering it with his gloved leather hands.
Twilight falls on her back, and for the Germans to point their weapons at Twilight, for her to form up a small purple force field around her body.
The Germans fire their weapons at the shield, but the bullets to harmlessly ricochet off it, and into the ground.
"Stop!"
The two privates stop, still pointing at Twilight, and look at their injured commander. For the other German soldiers in the area to rush to the sound of gunshots.
The Officer slowly looks up and puts down his hands to his sides and turn towards Twilight, revealing a long bloody gash cut from his right side of his mouth, across his cheek and up to his ear, steaming.
Twilight lets go from her shielded dome, removing her hooves from her face, and sees that she was not harmed from their weapons, but then looks at the Officer's face of what she'd done to him.
"I'm...I'm sorry."
"No matter," He said, taking out a white cloth from a pocket on the side of his leather jacket, wiping the blood off his gashed cheek. "Because I think we found a new way to defeat the Allies, all thanks to you Ms. Sparkle...and your magic, you happily demonstrated for us." Twilight could only stare in horror of what she did to him, and he didn't care of it.
"What...what are you."
"You will find out later, Ms. Sparkle...you." the Officer pointing towards a German.
"Bring the truck here, quickly, we must inform this Command and inform the Special Projects Division of our discovery."
The Germans salutes and runs off to get the Transport Truck.
"Put her in the back." Ordered the Officer.
The two soldiers saluted, and started to grab Twilight again.
"No, please." She tried to do something with her magic, but she felt drained of what she had done so far, making her weak.
"PLEASE, SOMEPONY HELP ME!" She cried for help. She struggles against the gripping of the soldiers.
The driver starts the truck, which was parked up at the road, and drive it to their position.
Twilight was beyond scared at this point, she didn't know what these creatures were, she didn't know where she was at, she didn't what was happening, and did not know what to to do. She just wanted to go to go home, but she was helpless, with no escape of where these creatures were taking her.
The truck begins to back up towards them.
"LET GO OF ME!" She yelled, struggling more to escape.
"Schnell, ihr Idioten , müssen wir diese Sache mit dem Befehl zu senden!" Yelled the Officer to two Germans as they try to hold on to her. The truck backs up completely and stops, the driver gets out of the truck and gets inside of the back of the covered back flatbed, and begins to help get Twilight inside of the truck.
"Please, don't hurt me!" Twilight cried again, as she begins to feels more weaker and weaker.
at more seconds past by.
"Oh, I can't promise you that, our leaders will find you special." Said the Officer. " Setzen Sie sie in dem Fahrzeug."
*Thump*
Everyone stops, including Twilight's struggle after hearing something smack onto the ground behind them. They look behind them towards the sound, towards where three German soldiers are standing, as one of them leans in forward to get a better look on the ground, gleaming and glancing at it, until going wide eyed.
"Grenate!" He yelled, for the grenade to go off and explodes.
The explosion of the grenade sends the Germans in different directions into the fire or on the ground.
For the Officer to cover his face and the two Germans to drop let go of Twilight, the sound of gunshots to go off, as one of the bullets impacts on the neck of the driver. It causes Twilight and the German driver to fall into the truck bed.
Twilight falling on her back right next to the German. Twilight quickly gets up from the metal floor and backs on to a wooden seat in the corner of the dark room.
She stares in horror as the German tries to stop the amount of blood rushing out of his neck, both hands on his neck, trying to stop the blood, but was also leaking out between his fingers and hands. A pile of blood to form under his head.
Until his breathing and choking stops in just one second, finally letting his hands go of his neck and fall to his sides. motionless, the German lays their on a pool of blood on the metal floor, his eyes open.
Twilight just watched something she will never forget, something that will haunt her in dreams forever, something that she wished she could of never seen.
"Now!"
Twilight hears a familiar language.
She takes her eyes off the dead German, and looks at the curtains that cover the entrance to the dark room she had landed in. As the sound of gun fire is heard.
She sits there as she can only hear the loud explosive sounds from outside. Along with yelling of the weird language that the spoke Germans spoke. She puts her ears on her ears and just tries to block out sounds.
Until it stops.
Twilight realizes of the sudden silence.
Nothing.
"Clear."
She quickly looks at the entrance, still the curtains covering it, as a stream of light is illuminated through the small line the runs up and down, light a line in the truck. Until something blocks it.
"Lets check for that lady, Drake get behind me and watch our back."
Something was blocking the light, something was just outside the curtains, think it was more of the creatures, but must a different one, as a one that speaks the same language as hers.
But she wasn't taking any chances of what has happened to her so far. Twilight quickly begins to look around the room to use a weapon, till she finally spots the weapon that creatures used.
Twilight doesn't know how to use it.
'Have to improvise'
She levitates the weapon to her.
...
"Clear." Drake said to Clayton, as he steps over a dead German Soldier.
As Clayton takes another look around the perimeter, making sure the area is cleared. Then to stand in front of where the truck bed is.
"Lets check for that lady, drake get behind me and watch my back." Clayton said, for Clayton to holster his M1 Garand with his straps on his back, with Drake to walk up behind Clayton.
Clayton takes a deep breath.
"Hey lady, are you okay?" Clayton calls out in a friendly voice, pushing aside the curtains of the entrance.
To only be met with a flying Kar98 flying through the air towards him.
Clayton quickly ducks and for the German rifle to fly over his head and smack against the back of the helmet of Drakes'.
"Ow, son of a!" Drake grunts as the Kar98 falls to the ground, Drake stumbling forward, his left hand to put on the back of his helmet. "Ahh, what the fuck!"
Clayton gets back up and puts his hands up in the air.
"Lady calm down, we're Allied Forces, American Paratroopers." Clayton said.
"How do I know you're not like the others?" The female voice asked.
Clayton was taken back by the sudden question.
"What do you mean?" He responded, "We aren't Germans, as you can see."
"Are you different than those creatures on...the...floor." She drifts off from the sentence. "You killed them?!"
"Creatures?" Clayton looking back on the floor, then realizing that she might've been talking about the dead Germans. "Them, yea we did, was the only way to save you."
"You killed them, why-why...what is wrong with all of you!?" She yelled.
"What, you sound like you don't like us killling the them...and why are you calling us that, last time I checked that we are all humans." Clayton said.
More moments of silence.
"Hey lady, you okay?" Clayton said.
"Yea, I'm fine." She said
"But how do you know Equestrian?"
"...what?" Clayton asked, confused at the question. "Equestrian, I don't know what language is that, lady, I speak English and that is all and only language I can speak."
"Eng...glish?"
"Um, yes, English...heard if it?" Clayton said, a little sarcastic in his voice.
"um...No."
"Okay, this is getting stupid." Drake said.
"Yea, listen lady, we have to get out of this area, more Germans could have heard those shots and be on there way." Clayton said. "So if you just come out, we will find a safe place for you to hunker down, and if you just tell us where we are exactly on a map, we will be on our way."
"...but I don't know where I am, I don't know what this place is or how i got here."
Clayton and Drake look at each other, dumbfounded of her answer, before Drake can speak up.
"Did you hit your head or something?" Drake questioned.
"Um...I think so." She replied.
"Oh my god, will you just get the hell out of there." Drake said.
"But...if I do...you will all freak out."
"I don't care if you are a talking animal, just get the fuck out of there!"
Drake is suddenly pulled aside by Clayton, out of the way of the entrance.
"Hey, calm down will you." Clayton began, holding Drake's front collar.
"I can't, it's been a long night and I just got hit in the fuckin' head, lets just leave her and move on before any other Germans come and kill all of us."
"Look I know this is stupid but she is our option knowing of where we are, she must be just scared to tell us the information, even if she doesn't sound french or German, she must be a reason she is here and maybe knows of where we are." Clayton quietly whispered. "So if we just cooperate, this will be over faster and we can move on, so just calm down and listen, I will do the talking."
"..."
"Got it?"
"Okay...okay." Drake said. Clayton to let go of his collar.
Both soldiers walk back to the entrance.
"Sorry lady, we are just having a long night." Clayton began to speak again. "But listen, we will find a safe place and you can ask us your questions and we will help you out as much as we can, and in return, you help us out."
"....."
"Lady?'
"Promise you won't hurt me?"
"We promise, we are not like the Germans." Clayton said as he raises his right hand.
"Do you...Pinkie promise?"
"We Pinkie Prom-" Clayton stops. 'Just go with it'
"We...Pinkie promise."
"What the fuck is a Pinkie Pro-" Drake said to only be elbowed by Clayton in the chest.
"Just go with it." He whispered.
Drake sighs, as he now slowly raises his hand too.
"We Pinkie Promise that we will not let anything hurt or harm you in anyway, until we get you home safely." Clayton managed to say, as Drake follows in sync with him.
Twilight heart then finally flutters with a feel of hope.
'Home...' She thought. This was her only chance to get home.
"...I accept your...promise."
"Okay, will come out of there then." Clayton feeling relieved of her answer. "will you come out then."
Twilight started to slowly walk out of the dark corner, and Clayton and Drake to fully see the unknown pony they just reasoned with."
"You're...you-...you're a horse." Clayton managing to say his words, over the burned out brain of his.
"I'm a pony, to be precise."
"I'm done," Drake said.
"A talking pony?" Clayton asked.
"Yes." She said in a firm voice.
"Yup, I'm done," Drake turning around and throwing up his hands, throwing his weapon on the floor. "I'm so fucking done."
"Can you stop cursing, please." Twilight said.
"You...you're a purple talking pony with a horn and wings." Drake said.
"I think...it's lavender." Clayton said.
"Yes, it's lavender and not purple."
"I don't fucking care, it's a talking colorful pony."
"Drake, calm down, will you." Clayton said to Drake.
"Yea, yea," Drake stops when he sees something on the road in the distance. He looks closer, trying make out of the dark night, until the sound of trucks begin to hear. "Damn, we got more germans heading this way, we have to go, like right now." He said, quickly picking back up his Carbine.
Clayton looks where Drake is looking, as he to can see the headlights of the vehicles.
"Yea, we do," Clayton spotting the trucks too, then looking back at Twilight. "We have to go, are you alright to walk?" He said.
"No, my right back leg is hurt a lot, I think it's broken." Twilight said, lifting her right back leg in the air.
"Okay, I will carry you then." Clayton said, before putting his right hand under an area between her neck and legs, and his left hand on the back of her legs, making sure to not pressure her leg much.
"Ow." Twilight flinched.
"Okay, Drake watch our back until we make it to the treeline."
"You sure you can carry her, she about half your height." Drake said as Clayton slowly lifting her, but Clayton to nod. "Okay then, lets go."
They both begin running towards the dark treeline, Clayton trying not to be to rough with his running with Twilght's injured leg.
Twilight trying to take in the pain coming from her leg, but they couldn't stop now until they were away from the Germans.
Twilight looking back towards the still-burning crashed C-47 as they are now far away from it.
As the two trucks pull up to it, but just in time as the two Paratroopers and the Alicorn disappear past the treeline and into the night, into the unknown countryside of Normandy.
Author's Note
Oh my gosh, I finally finished this...
Sorry it took a while, the last two days was me being distracted.
Plus, our entire town yesterday had no running water due to something that happened to the pipes, so they had to turn off the water for two days. And i wasn't feeling good of it being off.
But luckily, it came back on yesterday.
Hoped you like my chapter, and if you see any mistakes, (and i know there is.) Just comment it and I will fix it later. I had to retype an entire section so it can make more sense.
Have a nice day, and 82nd out.
