Finding Truth.
August 21st, 1944, Red Rose's Garden,
Equestria.
Red Rose was watering her flowers when she heard Daniel doing his morning exercises.
"You're not in the army anymore, you know." She said with a giggle as he stopped to take a breathe.
"I know... It's just. I don't know. I feel like something is coming..." Daniel said.
"Well your right about that. Princess Celestia, our ruler, is supposed to come by today. Said she wants to meet with you." Red explained.
After breakfast, The Princesses chariot landed in front of the house. Everyone went out to greet Celestia.
"Princess Celestia. It's an honor to meet you Ma'am." Daniel said as he bowed to her.
"Daniel Roebuck I presume." She replied.
"Yes Ma'am."
"I'm here because I heard a human had arrived... And when I found out who you were and with whom you were staying with, I had to come by and meet you." Celestia said.
Red Rose and her sister led Celestia inside their home as Daniel kept eyeing her Royal Guard.
"Don't worry about them, Mister Roebuck, they're only here to protect me from any threat." She explained, catching Daniel off-guard.
"Oh. I was just curious. By the way, just call me Daniel... I figure since I'm not a soldier anymore I can go back to using my first name" He said.
Everyone entered the house with the exception of the guards, Celestia had ordered them to guard the house just in case, and sat down in the living room.
"So Daniel, I am under the impression you have something in your head which could have been the reason why you are here. If you do not mind, I would like to examinee it." Celestia explained.
Daniel agreed and Celestia used her magic to look through his head.
As she explored his mind, she also went into his memory.
When he was six years old, he would dream of being a soldier like his father. Around the same time, he was lured into an ally and beaten up by some bullies from his school.
"Daddy's not here to save you punk!" One of the bullies said. The others all agreed in unison.
"Back off... Or I'll.. I'll beat you up!" The young Daniel said.
"Looks like we got us a tough guy. Well squirt, looks like your gonna need a doctor because there's five of us, and only one of you." The leader said.
"Make that TWO you brats." A voice said from behind them.
They all turned around to see Daniels father, Jonathan Roebuck, walk out of the shadows.
"Mistah Roebuck?! Run yous guys!!!" One of the other bullies exclaimed as they all ran away.
"What? You babies are scared of a tired war vet and his six year old son? Very well. I'm calling all your parents!" Johnathan yelled at them as he walked Daniel home.
The memory changed to when Daniel was 16 years old.
His father died of polio and his mother became a alcoholic. He attempted to join the army but was too young.
He got a job to support his family, which consisted of himself and five siblings.
The memory changed again.
When Daniel turned Eighteen years old he signed up for the army.
His boot camp training was tough but he made a few friends.
After completing training he and his friends were shipped out to take part in the Bloodiest battle of World War 2.
After successfully taking the Pointe, the Allies began a set of campaigns to Liberate France from Nazi occupation and, as a result, take the fight directly to the Fatherland.
Daniel, however, was captured while searching for Oberstürmannfürth Hans Fischer.
The memory changed to Daniel being experimented on which, according to Daniel himself, he didn't remember.
"
"Yes, Doctor, but please speak English. Our "friend" should be allowed to know what's going to happen to him." Fischer said.
"You, my young American friend, are about to become instrumental in bringing down Adolf Hitler and his puppet Reich. Once you have this implanted into your cerebral cortex, " Fischer said holding a piece of metal, "this metal is actually a piece of a gateway into another world. But even a little piece like this can still have the power of it's original form, all it needs are two things. A host. And energy." Fischer explained as he placed the metal inside Daniels head.
Celestia ended the memory and began to breathe heavily.
"You poor, poor soul.... We must remove that metal now!" She exclaimed as she used her magic to carefully and painlessly remove the metal from Daniels brain.
After removing it, Celestia placed it in a container alongside another metal piece just like it.
"What is that thing?" Daniel asked.
"When the first one was given to us, we assumed it was some sort of magic enhanced metal. Now I know it is really a piece to a portal... One that will likely be built in the future. But for now, we will focus on the present." Celestia said as she left.
Celestia was about to leave when a guard ran up to her.
"Your highness! We found more "hu-mans" camped out on the beach where Daniels bomb thingamajig crashed." The Guard reported.
"A rescue party perhaps." Celestia suggested.
"No," Daniel interrupted. "as far as the Allies are concerned, my team and I were killed in action two days ago. Guard, what did these soldiers look like?" He asked.
"Well, they were wearing different colored outfits. Some wore green uniforms, some wore grey uniforms, and the others wore black uniforms. Oh, and they had this strange Emblem on their uniforms. One even had what looked like a skull in the center of his hat." The Guard finished.
"What!? No, it cannot be!" Daniel exclaimed.
"Why? What's wrong?" Celestia asked while everypony else was staring at Daniel.
"Those men are a part of the Waffen-SS. And if what I saw while Celestia was poking around in my mind was true. The man with the Deathshead hat emblem is more than likely Hans Fischer." Daniel said.
Sometime later, at the beach.

"<As I said, we must keep open minds while in this new universe we have entered. Richter here has proven himself unfit to be apart of the real Master Race. Now, soldier. I believe you said something about a unicorn wearing golden armor..." Fischer said as he holstered his weapon.
Meanwhile.
"That sounded like a gun shot." Daniel said as he and the group ran, or in the case of the ponies "trotted", towards the beach.
As they reached the beach, they spotted Hans Fischer and his men. Two soldiers appeared to have been throwing the corpse of a Waffen-SS Officer into the water.
"What are they doing?" Celestia asked.
"I don't know. But judging from the lack of heavy equipment, weapons, and vehicles... They aren't here to start a war." Daniel explained as he examined the beach.
"Want us to attack them? I'm asking you, by the way, Daniel." A guard said.
"No. They may not have weapons to start a war, but they have weapons non the less. Attacking them would be suicidal. Let's just take a diplomatic approach." Daniel explained.
"Agreed. I will go out there by myself and greet them. Guards stay here and guard the perimeter. We don't need anypony approaching them without knowing whether or not they're hostile." Celestia said as she trotted towards the beach.
