WW2: Equestria Allies or Axis?
Operation:Torch/Charge of Luna's Brigade.
Previous ChapterDecember 8th, 1941. Third Person Pov.
"Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan." President Roosevelt said in response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
The attack prompted the US to enter the war on the Allied side. Making them the third country this year to join the Allies.
The first was the Soviet Union, and the second was Equestria.
November 8th, 1942, Operation Torch. Private Allen POV.
Today, my unit and I were deployed to North Africa. While we were fighting alongside the British, we were also joined by, and I'm not joking, a military unit from Equestria!
This unit, calling themselves Luna's Brigade, were going to be helping us kick the Krauts out of North Africa.
After a beach landing, my unit ended up sharing a Half-track with a few members of Luna's Brigade.
They were very kind, I even shared some of my rations with one of them. They really made my day.
From what I learned from them, Princess Luna had made a deal with our President that their involvement was to be a secret until we've won this campaign.
From the way things are going so far, we'll liberate North Africa in no time!
Private Lily Hoof POV.
I was in this vehicle called a half-track with the rest of my unit. The driver was shot by enemy snipers causing everyone to get out and take positions in the open.
I ended up fighting alongside Private Allen. A real sweetheart. I was nervous and couldn't seem to keep my magic steady.
Allen grabbed my rifle with his hand and held the scope towards my eye so I could aim better.
I shot several enemies.
The battle was over and we had to set up camp. I shared a tent with Allen.
"Thanks for the help back there." I said as I lyed down next to him.
"Hey, no problem." He replied.
We didn't talk much, mainly because he was tired and I wanted to let him sleep.
Battle of Kasserine Pass. Charge of Luna's Brigade. Third Person POV.
In February of 1943, the Allies attempted to take Kasserine Pass from the North Afrika Korps. The result was a bloodbath and a tactical Axis victory.
The battle also saw what would become known as "The charge of Luna's Brigade." Where the remaining members of Luna's Brigade charged the the enemy lines.
The charge, while not victorious, resulted in Equestria's involvement in the war alongside the Allies going public.
While a large portion of the Brigade were killed in the charge, some managed to flee while others were captured, and later released back to the Allies, by the North Afrika Korps under orders from Fieldmarshal Erwin Rommel.
This is what happened.
Seeing that there was no way to achieve victory, Commander Hoofburg decided to lead a charge to buy the Americans time to escape.
He gathered up all the remaining members of Luna's Brigade and began the charge.
They were shot at with everything the Axis had. Blood, guts, body parts, and bodies piled up all around them as they charged.
They managed to breach the first few lines of defense only to be driven back by a panzer division.
While most of the survivors made it out, some were taken prisoners under the orders of Erwin Rommel.
After the charge, the Allies used it as an example of Allied ingenuity. Letting the whole world know that Equestria was officially an Allied nation.
Princess Celestia POV.
"Equestria joins the Allied cause! During the battle of North Africa, soldiers of Equestria's military force fought alongside our boys against the Axis powers. Officially making them an Allied nation!
As many of you already know, Equestria is a country that appeared two years ago. And up until now, no one knew who they'd join... Looks like Princess Celestia made the right decision." The radio said.
I couldn't believe what I just heard... My ponies fighting for the Allies when I said we joined the Axis? And what did the Radio mean by "Up until now, no one knew who'd they join."?
It didn't take me long to figure out who was responsible for this... My own sister.
"Luna, care to explain why you disobeyed my decree and sent soldiers to fight alongside the Allies?" I asked her.
"Because, dear sister, your choice was the wrong choice! The Axis were just using us! Remember what that German soldier told us? How his commanding officer promised OUR ponies reinforcements that never came, and EXECUTED the survivors just because they had been tortured!" Luna yelled.
"Your decision coast the lives of three battalions! Whereas MY decision saw a larger amount of survivors!" Luna added.
"Enough! You're right..." I said.
"What?" Luna asked.
"You're right. I don't know why I joined the Axis in the first place... Nor why Twilight agreed that it was the wisest choice..." I answered.
"I guess- wait... Where is Twilight?" Luna asked.
"Now that you mention it... I think I saw her leave the castle after the radio announcement ended." I explained.
What could Twilight be up to?
Canterlot, "Twilight Sparkle" POV.
"I should have seen this coming..." I said in regards to the news of Equestria joining the Allies.
"Oh well... Looks like I'll have to pay Heinrich Himmler a visit. But first, to get out of this disguise." I said as I changed into my true form.
I, Queen Chrysalis, was not about to let my revenge plan be hindered by Celestia's soft heart... Hopefully, Himmler isn't as big of an idiot as Hitler is...
Himmler's Office. Heinrich Himmler POV.
I sat in my office going over the latest reports, when I heard a voice call out to me from the darkness.
"Heinrich..." The voice said.
"Who's there?!" I demanded.
Out of the darkness came what looked like a unicorn crossed with a bug... I wasn't scared but I was curious.
"I am Queen Chrysalis. I want to make a deal with you... One that only a fool would pass up on..." She said.
"What deal?" I asked.
"I know what you want... Power, unlimited power. What I want however... Is revenge! Together, we can accomplish our goals." She explained.
I agreed to join her and also agreed to whatever terms she had.
Author's Note
And here you go!
Now you have an idea as to what came over Celestia... But what Diabolical plan does Chrysalis have? Stay tooned!
