It was a few days after the attack was repelled from Ponyville. Infantry casualties were less than a hundred, but over two dozen vehicles were lost in the fight. And several aircraft, plus one of their only Zeppelins were gone.

Back at base, several men were crowded around a Finnish Renault FT mounted with a Lahti-Saloranta M/26. The radio was on, and was relaying something back to them. The troops around them were armed with Mosin-Nagant M/91s and Suomalainen 7,62 mm Jalkaväenkivääri M/27s.

"Se on komentaja!!"

"Perääntyä!"

"Tarvitsemme enemmän miehiä!"

"Soita HQ!!"

At once, all the men mobilized, a BT-42 and Finnish captured BT-7s raced by. Several Finnish T-28s and Panzer IVs raced by, as the men jumped onto several BT-43 transports.

"Mennään!", the sergeant ordered as the tanks rolled out. Up ahead, several Avro AnsonZK-RRA planes and Fokker C.X. fighters took off, as the tanks moved out.

Before the ground vehicles could leave, two American soldiers ran in front of them, stopping the attack force.

"Halt!", Edward yelled. A Light Tank M3A1 Satan rolled up ahead, its Ronson flamethrower aimed at them. Behind the Satan tank was a Comet with its 77 mm HV armed as well.

The BT-42 in front stopped, and the commander got out. "Siirrä se! Meidän täytyy lähteä!!", he yelled.

"English!!", Edward yelled.

"Liikkua!! We're in a hurry!!", the commander yelled.

"No, what's going on?!", Edward ordered.

The yelling contest continued before a large crack of thunder boomed in the sky. Right after, a big flash of lightning appeared in the sky. Soon, the Finnish BT-42 commander and Edward were staring at a burnt spot on the dirt in front of them where the bolt of lightning hit.

Celestia flew down from the sky, her horn glowing. "What is going on here?", she asked, in an irritated voice. "I hope you aren't turning against each other."

"No, there's something going on with-", the Finnish commander said, before Celestia cut him off.

"I'm sorry, but that'll have to wait. We have communication with a very powerful ally.", she said. "I was going to call some of you to find them, but since you're ready, we'll send you."

She looked to Edward. "And you'll accompany them.", she said. Edward was about to protest to this, but he shut up.

"Fine...", he muttered. He turned to see a few German Afrika Korps troops next to the legendary Matilda A12 II "Dreadnought", named by the Wehrmacht. Next to it was an M3 Lee and an M4A3 HVSS Sherman. "You guys! Over here!"

Somewhere else...

In the fields, several tents and fire camps were set up. Rainbow Light stood boringly surrounded by two Royal Guards, as Twilight and a tactician talked at the table in the main tent. Five M24 Chaffees were parked, as were three jeeps. A couple dozen troops were waiting, M-16 rifles, M-60 machine guns, and a couple M18 Recoiless Rifles were lying there.

A few M26 Pershings and an M109 Howitzer were parked on the other side of the camp, as twelve UH-1 Iroquois helicopters and three CH-53 Sea Stallions hovering above camp, ready to land.

"Mom...", Rainbow Light said. Twilight stopped talking and turned around to her daughter.

"Yes?", Twilight asked.

"I'm bored. I wanna fly.", Rainbow Light said. "Can I scout around? One of those helicopters could help and come with me. Please?"

"No, kiddo. We can't risk it. We're nowhere familiar.", Twilight said. she turned to the tactician and nodded. The tactician nodded back and trotted away.

"Honey, please.", Twilight said, putting a hoof on her daughter's back. "We know you don't like this, but it's for your own safety. Other creatures could come in and capture you, or worse."

"But cool mom #1 is doing it.", Rainbow Light whined. Twilight smirked and knocked her daughter over, before she began tickling her mercilessly.

"Oh, I'm not mom #1? I'm second best?", Twilight teased over the laughter and pleas of her daughter. "Wow, I never thought that about you!"

"OK, stop!! I'm sorry!!", Rainbow Light cackled as she squirmed in her mom's magic grasp. "Just stop!!"

"Ahem."

Twilight stopped her attack and turned to see Rainbow Dash and a squad of Royal Fliers waiting. Twilight blushed and got up, as Rainbow Light lay wheezing and coughing on the ground. "Oh, hi honey."

"What's going on?", Rainbow Dash asked.

"Oh, she called me mom #2 and I responded with a tickle fight.", Twilight said.

"OK, one: That looked more like a tickle massacre. She couldn't fight back.", Rainbow Dash scolded, while not even attempting to hide the smile on her muzzle. "And two: Of course I'm mom #1. I'm awesome."

Twilight sighed. "No, I'd say the awesome mom would be the one who teaches her daughter about the most important things in life.", she said. "Plus, I'm the dominant one when it comes to discipline."

Rainbow Dash snickered. "I'm sorry, who's the dominant one in bed?", she asked. Twilight blushed madly, as the Royal Fliers snickered.

"Rainbow Dash!", Twilight hissed. "Our daughter's here!"

"Mom, I know what sex is.", Rainbow Light said, as she got up. "I'm not deaf at night, you know."

Rainbow Dash broke into laughter, as Twilight gaped in horror. "You, you...what?!", she said.

"Yeah, I mean, if you're gonna bang, do it quietly.", Rainbow Light said. The Royal Fliers and Rainbow Dash were now rolling around on the ground, exploding in laughter.

"You and I are going to have a talk, young lady.", Twilight said, trying to be as stern as possible, but failing with so much embarrassment.

Then there was the sound of gunfire in the air. All the troops looked around, grabbing their weapons. One American with an M-14 looked over the hill, and his eyes widened at what he saw.

Two BT-43s, two Kübelwagens, and a Vickers tank was racing across the field, chased by a huge wave of black mist. The tanks were firing back, as were the guns on the Kübelwagens. The guns seemed to slow down the attack, but they weren't going to last.

Three UH-1 helicopters with M-134 Miniguns flew over to the scene, opening fire. The NATO rounds ripped the mist apart, faster than the shadows could regenerate.

Ahti turned and watched as the hovering aircraft finished off their attackers. The Finnish commander turned around and saw two M24 Chaffee tanks intercepting.

"Pysäyttää!!", he yelled. The BT-42s drew to a halt, as did the Finnish Kübelwagens. The Vickers drifted to the side, before slamming into a tree.

The M26 Pershings drove around, surrounding the Finnish vehicles. The group of Finnish troops jumped out, armed with KP/-31 SMGs, Mosin Nagants, and SVT-40s.

American troops with M-16s and M-60s ran out, aiming their weapons. "On the ground!! On the ground!!"

"Mene alas!! Mene alas!!", a Finnish trooper yelled.

"Drop them!!", an American hollered.

"Minä ampaan sinua!!", another Finnish soldier said. The soldier on the Lahti-Saloranta M26 on the German jeep cocked the weapon and aimed threateningly.

"Stop!! Pidä sitä!!", Ahti shouted.

"Stop it!! Stop!! Drop your weapons!!", Smithy yelled, his shotgun on the ground.

"Enough!!"

Everyone turned to see Twilight and Rainbow Dash(from the different dimension) standing on a Chaffee, with Rainbow Light hiding behind her mom.

Ahti lowered his gun and put his hands up. The rest of the Finnish did, as the helicopters came in and landed. Rainbow Light looked over at the Finnish man, before looking away.

Somewhere else...

The Banshee pilot groaned as she recovered from whatever had just happened before. She opened her eyes to see the wrecked Medivac around her.

"What the...", she muttered. Her ears were ringing , and she was having triple vision. She looked up, to see a crossbow aimed at her face. Lena stood over her, the bolt locked and loaded.

"I wouldn't recommend moving if I were you.", Lena said.

"What happened?", the Banshee pilot asked.

Flashback...

Twilight and Jones were still asleep as Jack kept the gun aimed at the pilot. "You feeling tired?", Jack asked.

"Yes, I'm definitely feeling tired while you're pointing a gun at me.", the pilot said flatly, while sweating. "I might doze off with a frag round in my head."

Jack chuckled. "Well, I do enjoy a sense of humor. Too bad it had to be forced like this.", he said. Then an alarm went off in the Medivac.

"What the-", the pilot said. Then the whole ship rumbled violently.

Lena, still getting chased by the Viking torpedoes, shot right past the Medivac. The missiles couldn't dodge in time, and all ten of them blasted into the large craft.

The emergency systems went online, and all the automatic harnesses slammed down, locking Twilight and everyone in place, as well as the pilot and Jack. Emergency safety shields lowered around the passengers, and the cockpit was sealed off.

The whole ship was sent crashing to the ground, and the state-of-the-art Terran medical bay crashed oped, with stim-packs and healing rays splashing over everyone inside.

The Medivac spiraled uncontrollably to the ground, as Lena saw this and followed.

Flashback end.

Jones groaned as he got up. There was a green substance coated all over him, as well as covering the wreckage. Most of the dropship was intact, and all the harnesses were sparking.

He kicked the damaged harness off of him, and he ran over and pried the harness off of Twilight's seat. Her shield was barely intact, and it came down easily. He pulled up the harness, and saw Twilight lying in the chair, some of the green stuff on her coat.

"Hey, you good?", Jones said, gently slapping the side of Twilight's face.

Twilight groaned and got up. "Jones?", she muttered, as she opened her eyes.

"Hey, we crashed. You OK?", he asked.

Twilight got up, before stumbling. "I...I don't feel so *hiccup* good.", she said. Jones watched as she plowed into the floor, and stumbling her way to the cockpit. Jones watched as Twilight drunkenly fell flat, knocked out.

“This ain’t good.”, Jones said. He looked over to see Lena still aiming at the pilot, while standing on an unconscious Jack. “Hey!”

The pilot turned to Jones.

“What the hell is this stuff?!”, he said.

“Stim-packs and morphine! Unless that stuff got under your skin, you’re good!”, the pilot said, before Lena nudged her with the crossbow.

Jones looked over to Twilight, and what he saw nearly made him gasp. Twilight’s wound from before had opened up, bits blood staining her lavender coat. To make matters even worse, the green liquid was seeping into the wound.

At that moment, Twilight let out a cry.

“Twilight!”, Jones said. Twilight rolled on her back, gasping and crying in pain.

“C-can’t b-breathe!”, she croaked. Tears were welling up, and her chest was rising up and down violently.

“Hey!”, Jones yelled at the pilot. “How do I help her?!”

“I-will you let me go if I help?!”, the pilot said.

“Yes!! Help me!!”, Jones yelled, desperately. He was not about to let a valuable ally die like this.

Lena lowered the crossbow and let the pilot hurry over to the spasming alicorn. “OK, this thing is a flying hospital. They have to have something for OD’ing here.”, she said. She dug through the metal cabinets, before taking a syringe.

She ran over and jabbed the needle into Twilight’s neck. Twilight screamed as the thick substance forced its way into her bloodstream.

“W-what now?”, Jones said.

“The solution will stop her heartbeat. We need to hook her up to life support for a minute.”, the pilot said. “How am I remembering this stuff?”

“Where’s the life support?!”, Jones yelled. The pilot jolted in surprise.

“Over there!”, she said, pointing to a small box with tubes and a mask. Jones hurried over to grab it, but when he got it, he saw that the whole thing was busted, smoking and sparking.

“It’s broken.”, he said, turning back to the pilot.

Twilight immediately started spasming, and her hoof struck the Banshee pilot in the chest.

“Agh!”, she cried, crashing against the wall.

“Twilight!”, Jones cried. He knelt down and felt around her chest. Once he felt a fast pounding against his palm, he started pressing on it as hard as he could.

“Come on!”, Jones grunted, as he struggled to keep her alive. Twilight’s eyes were rolled to the back of her head, and she was violently shaking as her bodily functions began to shut down.

"Come on!!"

Jones stopped pumping her chest and leaned over to her mouth, pressing his lips to hers. He started breathing into her mouth, her chest falling and rising with every breath forced into her lungs. Jones kept going for several minutes until Twilight's spasm slowly stopped.

"Ugh...", she moaned, before looking around. "Ow..."

She clutched her chest, before her eyes widened. "Did I...eat something?", she groaned, wiping her mouth.

Jones snickered, as the pilot couldn't help but smirk. "Oh...nothing.", he said.

"Ugh...it feels like I got kissed by a...", Twilight said. Her voice trailed off, and she looked at Jones. A strand of lavender colored fur rested between his lips. He looked around and saw the syringe in the pilot's hands, and the memory of her spasming out flooded her mind.

"You...saved me...", Twilight finally managed to say.

"I did CPR. She got the healing stuff in ya.", Jones said, gesturing to the Banshee pilot. The pilot smiled.

"T-thank you.", Twilight said, blushing. Jones and the pilot sighed.

"But, ugh...human breath tastes weird.", Twilight said, making Jones grimace and the pilot laugh.

Elsewhere...

Smithy and Ahti were sitting and talking, as the Finnish were kept under watch of the American Army and its Regal Guard.

Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash(of the other dimension) were watching Rainbow Light fly around with an AH-1 Cobra.

"She's growing up so fast.", Twilight said as she watched.

"I know. I'm gonna miss the little rascal.", Rainbow Dash said.

"Wait, what makes you think she's leaving?", Twilight asked, turning to her wife. Rainbow Dash looked at her wife with her calm magenta eyes.

"Well...I guess the fact she's getting friends and...she's straying away from us.", Rainbow Dash said. "And as parents, we're supposed to be proud and let it happen."

Twilight looked down. "I know what you mean...", she said. "It's like her childhood just...raced by. Like she always does."

Rainbow Dash let out a giggle. "Well, she gets that from me.", she said.

"I KNOW. You said it at least once every five seconds!", Twilight laughed. The two laughed for a bit, before sighing and looking back at their daughter flying around the chopper.

"Still...if she's gone, she'd better come back and visit.", Twilight said.

Smithy stood up, as he flipped his pocketwatch into his pocket. "Attention!!", he yelled. "As I have done many times before, I will recite my FDR speech, edited to my liking!!"

Everyone scrambled to attention, except the Fins. They looked over to the organizing ranks. The helicopters landed and within minutes, the pilots were all in rank.

"Mitä tapahtuu?", a soldier asked.

"Tappaa minut.", another soldier said. Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, and Rainbow Light stood to see what was going on. All the Scouts and Royal Guard did so as well.

"My Fellow Allies: In this desperate hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer.", Smithy recited. Everyone fell silent.

"This day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.

Our sons, pride of our nation. Lead them straight and true.

Their road will be long and hard. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war. In this hour of great sacrifice, we shall prevail!"

"Hoo-Rah!!", everyone yelled.

Twilight went up to Smithy, who took his shotgun. "What was that?", she asked. "You chose to do a speech now of all times?"

Smithy smiled. "Why not? We're at war.", he said.

Twilight sighed. "You could've done that before fighting and everything. But-", Twilight said, before Smithy cut her off.

"No, we're at war. You didn't notice?", Smithy asked. Twilight was about to retort that she "of course" knew they were at war, until two M60 Patton tanks rolled by, accompanied by running infantry and two Pershing tanks.

"You wanna fight or not?", Smithy asked. He rushed to the front lines, as did the several hundred thousand American troops.

Twilight turned to see the Pony of Shadows itself, slowly making its way towards them. It was at least fifty times taller, and every step made a massive thundering sound. How Twilight never noticed it, she didn't know.

Twilight quickly shook herself out of her stupor and turned to Rainbow Dash and her army of Royal Guard. "Let's go!", she yelled. "We stop it here, or never!!"

"Yes, princess!!", all the guard yelled, as they charged with the Americans. Only the Finnish were left.

"Orders?", an English speaking soldier asked.

Ahti smirked. "You kidding?", he said. Not one minute after, the Finnish vehicles gave chase.

Somewhere else, the Matilda Dreadnought, an M3 Lee, the Sherman, the Satan, and the Comet were rolling towards their destination. The Finnish tanks, a Type 95 Ha-Go, a Chinese T-26, two BREN carriers, a German halftrack, and an IS-2 was called along with them. With the tanks were platoons and companies of infantry from Britain, America, Germany, and Japan.

Edward was sitting on the M3 Lee, his BAR by his side. He was looking ahead to the destination before them. "So...who's this new ally?", he muttered.

Author's Note

I used the cut speech of FDR from COD WWII for Smithy. So disclaimer, I guess.
