"We need to leave this place, or at least be on the move", Lapiz said to his crew

Then all of a sudden they hear that same annoying boom of an American M3 Cannon firing again. Apparently, the crew inside the thought-to-be-taken-out Jumbo was not giving up.

"Ram it", Lapiz said with a sigh

Then the Tiger II lurched forward at full speed, heading towards the immobile tank. They collided with a crash of steel.

"Listen, I know you wanna fight, but this is nonsense.", Lapiz shouted out to the tank," just join our rescue group, and help us retrieve any stranded soldier or broken down tanks."

The Jumbo fired another shot.

"I don't wanna fight you", Lapiz protested

The tank stopped, then the crew inside called back, "Hook up our tank if you're in a rush, that big tank of yours could pull it"

"So the engine's broken?", Lapiz asked

"Yup"

"Ok then, we'll hitch you up", Lapiz shouted out in a glad tone

The new member of the convoy was hitched up to the Tiger II, they may have moved slower, but it was worth it. Besides, they could be on more of a look out at a slower pace. They had gone for what had seemed like miles until something moved in the bushes. The slow pace must've been useful after all.

"Over there!", Lapiz shouted, "Load an HE shell, and aim at that spot in the bushes"

Then all of a sudden a Zebra pops out of the bushes.

"What the hell?", Tiger II Gun Loader Sam said with a disgusted tone, "This isn't Africa"

The Zebra ran off, as expected. I'm pretty sure you would run off if you saw a huge group of Tanks and Infantry right in front of you.

"Let's mov-", Lapiz was cut off by a big boom that didn't sound like any kind of cannon he'd ever heard.

Everyone in the convoy looked up to see a circle rainbow, it was rapidly expanding. Lapiz had swung open the to hatch of the turret, mouth agape in amazement. Then a blue blur leaving a rainbow trail starts heading directly towards Lapiz. He swung the canopy closed and heard a *THANG!*. The blue 'Thing' must've collided with the hatch before the 'Thing' could hit him.

"Ow", said the 'Thing', the infantrymen had then realized it was living thing, Gunfire started but then ceased after a few shots. The "Thing" was unconscious

Lapiz opened the Canopy, then the first thing he saw was a light blue baby horse, with wings, sitting next to the Machine Gun. He grabbed ahold of it by the neck and tackled it into the turret, but then he was then the next one to realize it was unconscious.

"Can we keep this weird horse in the Wirbelwind please?", Lapiz had asked, hopefully, the crew would allow it, it had the most turret space out of most of them, and if this 'Thing' was to try to escape, the crew could just easily throw it out of the top of the turret.

2 hours later

"I wonder where Rainbow Dash is, she's not been around for awhile", Twilight said worriedly.

"Yeah, she usually flying around and making the skies look awesome", Pinkie said in her happy voice, "But now the sky is boring", Pinkie Pie then deeply frowned.

Their cutie marks on their flanks started glowing, "The map!", Pinkie Pie shouted and then sped off towards the castle at an unusual speed. Always breaking the 4th wall, that was Pinkie Pie's most favorite thing to do besides partying.

Twilight Sparkles Castle

The map was showing that all 5 of them were needed in the Everfree Forest

"Well I'm guessing Rainbow Dash got hurt in the Everfree Forest?", Applejack asked

"Oh I sure hope not, maybe she just isn't needed for this mission", Fluttershy said, she dreaded the thought of Rainbow Dash being hurt, even worse: all alone in the Everfree forest.

"If I know Rainbow Dash, then i know that she's fine, probably oversleeping", Twilight said to the rest of the ponies in the room.

"Yeah, let's not get too serious about this one, ok?", Rarity asked.

2 hours later
Everfree Forest

As the 5 ponies walked across the dark forest, Zecora came running at top speed. She stopped right in front of them, panting. Maybe it was a problem with Zecora?

"Come Twilight! You need to see what I've witnessed", Zecora said with an urgent voice, "It's your friend Rainbow Dash, I fear she is in great danger".

"Called it", Applejack raised a hoof

"Oh no, we have to get to her quick! What if she's hurt or-" Fluttershy was near crying, she hoped that it wasn't true, or that this was just a dream. Witnessing a big danger in the Everfree forest was a terrible experience.

"Do you have any facts or details about what's wrong with Rainbow Dash?", Twilight said with urgency

"She is being held captive by something I've never seen. I didn't get a close enough look, but I could tell that they were large in size and numbers", Zecora answers.

"Alright, thank you Zecor-"

*BOOMF!!*

All 5 of the ponies jumped in fright. Pinkie Pie jumping the highest, obviously. All of them started looking around, until Twilight said, "Leave Zecora, we'll take it from here".

"I wish you luck", Zecora responded, then left with a quick gallop.

*BOOMF!!*

A tree fell over, nearly hitting Pinkie Pie

"HEY!! You big meanie metal thing!...", Pinkie Pie shouted to the incoming Tiger II, Lapiz had ordered sam the Tank Gunner, to shoot at the tree to create a pathway.

"What in tarnation?!", Applejack said in shock.

"Stop advancing, we've got company", Lapiz ordered Rich. The Tiger II stopped, and so did the rest of the convoy. Fluttershy was hiding behind Twilight, and if the 5 ponies had known that the Tiger H was not alone, they would have probably would've thought they needed Celestia.

"More!?", the big, metal, 'Thing' shouted in an annoyed tone.

"Do you have Rainbow Dash!?", Twilight shouted to the Tiger II

"Do you have any idea how pissed off I am right now?!", the 'Thing' shouted back

"Do you know where Rainbow Dash is!?", Twilight was now getting angry

"If you mean the blue 'Thing' that tried to attack us? If so then, yes?", both 'Things' were now tempted to fight

"Yes! that's Rainbow Dash!" Twilight said with joy. She thought that this would end peacefully and quickly, though it might just be the opposite.

"She tried to attack us, we're not releasing her", Lapiz shouted with an angry mood.

"Then we must take this as a hostile act!", Twilight was enraged, she charged up her horn.

"Look I wanna end this peacefully", Lapiz opened the canopy and jumped out to meet the 5 ponies.

"And so do I!", Twilight was calming down by a tiny bit, though she was still wary that this might be some sort of trick.

"Then let's do so", Lapiz shouted, he was not wanting to take any more of this, but he had to, for the sake of his men.

Then suddenly a flash of bright light appeared between the two leaders of their groups, it had revealed Celestia, she didn't look like she was in a good mood.

"If you don't release Rainbow Dash then I will have to use force against you"

"Listen if you really want 'Her' safe, then stop asking for her", Lapiz was more annoyed than ever, "We can just kill her right here and now you know"

Celestia's pupils shrunk, "You wouldn't dare", Celestia was actually angry now.

"WAIT!", Twilight shouted, she ran between the Tank Commander and Celestia, she looked up to Celestia, "I'm the Princess of friendship, shouldn't we befriend them? He said he too, wanted to end this peacefully", she really wanted to make a friendly relationship between the 'Thing' and them.

"Twilight, they threaten to kill Rainbow Dash", Celestia was worried that if these creatures had cast some sort of spell to make Twilight change her mind.

*WHAM!!*

The sound of steel being banged against was heard all around, then there was a rainbow trail being soared out of the Wirbelwind. The AAA tank started to fire at Rainbow Dash. Unfortunately, even with her speed, she was outrun by the bullets, she was hit by about 17 bullets from the Quad 20mm Flak38's cannons. She went down, she had red drenched all over her and she had landed near the group of ponies.

"Rainbow Dash!", Fluttershy cried out, she went over to see if her friend was alright. She knew in her mind that she was really badly hurt, but in another part of her mind, she hoped that it was just an illusion when she saw Rainbow Dash all covered in red.

"You will pay for what you have done!", Celestia was now in total rage, Rainbow Dash might have been killed, or hopefully at the most, seriously wounded.

"I don't think so...", Lapiz called out, "Attention everyone, drive around My Tiger II and aim for the purple pony and the tall white horse, and Fire At Will!"

All the vehicles from the convoy drove around the Tiger II and then started aiming and firing. All fire was directed towards Celestia and Twilight. Celestia had tried to escape but had failed to create a shield in time, but Twilight had teleported behind a tree. Celestia was just laying there, she was not bleeding, because, you know, gods don't bleed. She then looked up to Lapiz, she then charged up a spell of teleportation. She was planning to teleport him into the Castle dungeons.

"NOPE!!" Lapiz quickly reacted, "Fire that HE!". the Tiger II then fired the HE shell that was previously loaded during their encounter with Zecora, so they could now fire instantly without having to load a shell. It hit Celestia, and she disappeared.

"Wha- n-no", Twilight was on the verge of tears. She teleported everyone else back to the castle, that way no more harm could come to her friends. Right there on the far side of the room was Rainbow Dash, laying on the ground next to a sobbing Fluttershy.

"We need to get her to the Hospital", Applejack protested

"R-right", Twilight said unsteadily, she then teleported Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash to the Canterlot Hospital. Hopefully, the Canterlot Hospital would be even safer than in her castle, it seemed like Canterlot was the safest choice, due to its high security. "I-I can't believe it", Twilight was now crying openly
