Stalingrad, Soviet Union
"You don't have to do this." Vadim held his hands out to who used to be his good friend, Yuri. Vadim was in a bad situation, a quite bad one indeed. The Germans were ripping them apart, here at Stalingrad.Yuri had gone mad, killing a friend they had near them and now pointing a gun at Vadim. Vadim looked saddened, "I don't want to die on this battlefield, please honor that comrade." Vadim looked around, trying to find a way to escape. He could find none, as they were on a balcony and the door back inside the building was on Bori's side.
"No!" Bori's eyes grew widened, terrifyingly wide, which scared Vadim, as he had never seen his friend like that. "They are going to kill us all!" Yuri smiled, "I am doing you a favor, comrade they will not kill you." Yuri started laughing. "Did you not see what they did to Vladar and Ignat, they feed them to their dogs."
"Yuri, this is not you, calm down think about what you are doing." Vadim stepped closer to Yuri. "Think of the others, they need a medic, as do you, let me live."
Yuri took his DP-28 and took one good shot at Vadim's leg. "Do not step closer Дерьмо!"
Vadim screamed in pain. "Yuri, this is not you, stop it." Vadim looked him straight in the eye. "Think of my wife and daughter, what would they do without me." He closed his eyes. "умереть, that's what they would do."
"Too bad," Yuri said as he took his sub-machine gun and started shooting at Vadim.
Vadim started to fade away and said one last thing
"Гори в аду"
?????
Vadim woke up to a horrible headache and tried to grab his head, to try to take away the pain. "БЛЯДЬ," He said through clenched teeth. He opened his eyes to see where he was. He saw the bright sun and brought his hand up to his eyes to cover him from it, as it was too bright. He then looked around to see a forest on one side of him, and a lake and a clearing on his other side. He had forgotten about his headache now, as he realized that his body was not filled with bullet holes.
"Where am I, is this heaven?" Vadim asked himself. He was religious, however, he hid it as the soviets did not approve of it. "I guess that God has given me another chance," he muttered to himself. He stood up, and felt all over his body, to make sure he was in fact in one piece. He was, and Vadim sure did enjoy himself. He danced and danced until he heard a noise, of a twig snapping. Vadim turned to the sound of the noise and saw a bear.
He stood still, trying not to get the bears attention. It worked many times in his village, why not here? This, however, was on the back of his mind as he heard the bear roar loudly at him. Vadim took out his PPS and pointed it at the bear. He did not want it to get any closer to the beast. The bear must have taken this as a sign of aggression, as he started charging at Vadim. Vadim fired three shots at it, one missing and two hitting the bear. The bear yelped and ran over a hill.
"That was a very lousy bear, it could have easily killed me there," Vadim said to no one in particular. Vadim decided to go up the hill, to see where the bear had gone. As he arrived at the top of the hill, he saw something, buildings. There were many, but they were all pretty far away, other that one. He looked at it and saw the bear. And a horse? A yellow horse was helping the bear from what Vadim could see. Vadim was confused, he saw a horse helping a bear, it should be running away from the bear. The horse looked straight at him and took off to the city. It had wings, the horse had wings. "O lord, you have put me somewhere very strange," thought Vadim to himself.
Vadim sat at the top of the hill, careful to not alert the bear to his presence, however, the yellow one saw him so he may already have been discovered. He sat there for ten minutes, and then saw six of those horses, including the yellow one, head straight for him. Vadim hid in a nearby bush and took out his rifle. He was not sure, but he had a feeling that these creatures were intelligent.
That's when he heard it, the one thing he wished would never happen to him. They spoke English, the language he was taught to hate. He bolted out of his hiding space and ran to the opposite side of the hill. This, however, alerted the creatures as they appeared on top of the hill. He kept running the opposite direction until he heard "look the diamond dog!"
He looked back briefly to see those capitalist running to him, faster than he could ever go. He decided to stop there and hold his ground. He still remembered a bit of English from his classes so he yelled out, "Go away! I do not wish to sp-spa-spe" Vadim started to stutter, as he tried his best to speak English, but to no avail.
The purple one said something about him not sounding like a "diamond dog." He did not care about that right now, however, as he saw the blue one going towards him. He fired his SVT-40 close to her, to scare her, and it worked. The purple one told the blue one something about backing up. The purple one then walked closer to Vadim, and Vadim pointed his gun at her.
"Hello, I am Twilight Sparkle"

Srry on how bad it is, im sick and stuff
"Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle, what is your name?" The purple one looked questionably at him. Her eyes looked full of wonder, longing to be filled with knowledge, the same look Vadim had when he practiced on his medicine. Vadim thought that she was a little naive, as she approached something that had just shot a fast-moving projectile at her group.
Vadim was about to put his gun down, hoping to make peace with these... horses, when the cyan colored one went up to his face. "Hey punk, you think you can just injure Fluttershy's friends like that?" The cyan one then proceeded to hit Vadim, in the jaw with much force. Vadim fell down and pointed his gun at her.
"Сука!" Vadim cursed at her and shot near her head. "I will, uh kill you. Get far from me!" Vadim was never good at English, and he hoped that he learned more, as it would have helped him in this situation. He then looked at the other horses that were accompanying the cyan one. They all had very different expressions. Fear, anger, quizzical, and a mix of these were on all of their faces, which were oddly very similar to human expressions.
The cyan one backed up, with an expression of fear, and the orange one walked next to the cyan one. The two creatures exchanged some words that Vadim could not interpret. That is until he saw the cyan one going towards him and the orange one flanking around. He took out his gun and pointed it at one of them.
"All of you stop!" The purple one went in between the cyan one and himself. "Rainbow and Applejack, we need to make friends, and you," she looked straight at Vadim, "need to stop firing that weapon!" Vadim was then surprised when a purple aura enveloped his gun and taken out of his grasp. Vadim suspected the purple one, as the colors matched up, so he confronted her.
"I want the gun back, give gun!" Vadim demanded his gun back, as it was all he had left from his father.
"No, I will keep this until I deem you to be safe, and that may be a while because you injured Harry." Twilight inspected the gun, and it got dangerous when she looked down the barrel of the gun.
Vadim grabbed the gun from mid-air, as confusing as it was and backed away from 'Twilight.' "Not safe, too dangerous for a horse."
The white one got really mad, as she went up to him and said things very loudly, things he did not understand. He supposed that calling these creatures horses was not very wise, as they took offense to that. The other... ponies pulled the white one back, as she started becoming physical, not that it hurt. "You stupid ape!" the white one said in anger before she got back with the others.
The purple one sighed and asked him a question. "What is your name?'
"My name is Vadim. My English is no good, forgive me for no understand you." He told her back calmly. "Why are your comrades so mad at me?"
"You did injure Harry, our friend and that may end you up in prison." The purple one told him. Vadim did not understand, as he never shot at another horse. Unless they were talking about that bear, which would be ridiculous.
"Who? I did not hurt any of you." Vadim asked with an eyebrow raised.
"The bear, you hurt the bear." She answered with a face that made him think, that to them he was high.
"Bear came, I shot." He answered with a serious face. He was confused inside, it was probably a circus animal that they used for money, as capitalist do. "Why care about the bear?"
"He is our friend." She said as it was normal, then pointed, or hoofed to his ushanka. "Where are you from?"
Vadim went full patriotic, as he loved the U.S.S.R. "This is the symbol of communism and my country's flag, the hammer, and sickle." He proudly looked at it. "It represents farmers and, uh Промышленные рабочие. I cannot think of the English word. It represents unity between the two. We exchange services for services, unlike filthy capitalism." He looked at them. "I am a soldier, for my country. I was fighting in.... Stalingrad...." He closed his eyes as he remembered scenes he did not want to remember.
"I'm not aware of any fighting in Stalliongrad" The purple one told him. "Perhaps you are not in the right mindset, there is no... U.S.S.R in the whole planet."
Vadim sighed and sat down on the grass. "Perhaps I am not on Мать Земля anymore, certainly not Мать Россия."
"What language are you speaking?" She asked him, and her eyes seemed to long for more knowledge.
"I am speaking Russian," Vadim answered her. "What country are we on, and what form of government is it?" He hoped it wasn't something like absolute monarchy or a dictatorship as that would not be good, as the leaders are generally bad. He would also have to act as an ambassador in the U.S.S.R's absence.
Now it was Twilight's turn to go patriotic. "This is Equestria, a land ruled by Princess..." There went his luck. "Celestia and Princess Luna. They control day and night, and rule over us." Vadim grew silent. If the monarchs made their subjects believe this, they have good charisma or a large army. He hoped it was charisma, as he did not want to be a one man army.
"You should come to Ponyville with me as I should contact the princesses, they would want to know about this". Vadim sighed and nodded, getting up to follow them.
"Пойдем"
