Chapter 12 - The torture of memories...
"Follow me..." Luna said ominously. All in attendance did just that... The First of the humans had just landed on the ground. Walking around the corner the group headed down a street named 'Lancaster crt.' and spotted one.
The human was wearing a rather thick looking set of green and tan striped clothes. It, Presumably a 'HE' was untying himself from his parachute all the while around him the birds had all but gone silent, giving the entire suburb an eerie heavy feeling, the danger in the air was thick and palpable.
The human picked up its black pipe thing and crouched down low. He then began sneaking around like he wasn't suppose to be here... Wherever here was.
The human was constantly turning his head, and his eyes were moving from left to right up and even down... Always checking behind himself every few stealthy footsteps.
"Whats got it so spooked? Its like it's paranoid that somethings going to jump out and kill it without much fight..." Skystar asked, before anyone could answer or Archonev could make a snide remark, not to far in the distance was a series of sounds that made everyone jump, except Luna, whom just closed her eyes.
*BLAM* -
*RATATTATTATTATTAT*
The human the ghostly group was following dropped even lower into his crouch. He stayed still in the alleyway between two wooden fences. Turning his head to the left, looking down that path he was traveling, to right, and the path he had just came down.
After an awkward pause the human the group was following started speaking an odd language, his voice an almost inaudible whisper.
"Что за хрень ...Они должны были молчать!-" Judging by how the last word was spat out a few seconds later and with its conviction, it was a curse. "-БЛЯДЬ!"
The group remained silent and continued to look at each other questioningly. All except for Archonev. He'd recognized the commonly used dialect of his nations language from the first two words the human spoke.
"What language is that?" Shining asked in pure confusion.
"Mine..." Archonev said in disbelief. "How do these creatures have our languages?" He asked no one in particular whilst staring at the bipedal form nervously looking around.
Just as the human started to move once more, more cracks of thunder began to echo out from all around him. Those then turned into an orchestra of chaos and was making everyone nervous. after a further five minutes of sneaking through the neighborhood.
The strange creature came to an abrupt halt and stiffened up, raising his presumed weapon to his eye level. Everyone watching held their breath. eventually shadows moved about in the light at the end of the shadowed area they were currently sitting under in-between two houses.
The human lowered his strange contraption, before loud shouting could be herd from behind and the human in front of them snapped around to the rear. The group had just managed to turn in time to see a human in colourful civilian clothing with a vest, similar to what the soldier human was wearing.
The second one raised his weapon and fired his shots. Everyone in the group either flattened or held their ears as the loud rapid cracks filled and echoed through the narrow space. When they opened their eyes and looked up. The second human was laying on the ground, and the first one had spun back around to the front. Another human appeared in the light at the end of the alleyway, and raised his weapon towards the soldier. The green clad solider they had followed opened fire first. everyone held their ears but they didn't look away this time.
With several claps of thunder the human in the light shook as if he was being hit by an invisible force, he stood there in a mist of blood before dropping his weapon and falling face down on the ground.
Everyone in the group was left standing in disbelief at what they'd just witnessed. All in attendance besides Luna and Celestia were petrified of what they'd just seen. The humans had invented weapons that could kill from a distance, and so Easily at that. Their hearts fell into their stomachs when they heard the pained scream of a child yelling for their 'Daddy' several seconds later.
The green soldier tensed up and raised his weapon as the form of another human rushed down next to the body of the one he'd just killed. She was no older than five years of age. She sat next to her fallen father on her knees, shaking him all the while saying 'Daddy?'. The scene had everyone in the group crying.
Eventually the little girl just doubled over her father and started sobbing. Everyone's ghostly translucent forms looked to the green soldier and saw that his shoulders had slumped and his weapon was lowered. After several seconds of watching the scene the green soldier reached into his vest pocket and pulled a piece of paper. He stared at it for several more seconds.
The group jumped as dozens of Thunder cracks roared from behind them. They saw the green soldier shake violently before falling to his knees, then his back. Turning they saw the first colourful human was kneeling and gasping for air.
"Fuckin' Rooskie!" The human spat with a hatred pure enough it could of been distilled.
Skystar turned back to the green soldier, walking over to his un-moving body, she gasped and sobbed out "No...".
Everyone else then walked over to Where Skystar stood over the green soldier. He laid there in a large pool of his blood. The green mask covering his face from the nose down was stained with crimson, on the ground next to the fallen warriors hand. Was a photograph of a smiling family. It didn't take much effort to understand it was his family.
A Wife and four children wouldn't be getting their husband and father back... The near constant cracks of thunder echoed out across the suburb. Explosions began joining the song of death and destruction. The group was paralyzed with shock from what they'd just witnessed.
A Mechanical whine pierced the barrage of sound at the end of the alleyway.
*POMPF- POMPF- POMPF- POMPF- POMPF- POMPF-*
The much louder deeper cracks of thunder caused the air they breathed to rattle in their lungs. The Ground shook as explosions filled the street in front of them. The explosions, their sound, and their heat, began to fill the air around them.
Skystar gasped and began to run towards the still sobbing child at the end of the alleyway. She stopped and collapsed to the ground crying when an explosion hit the end of the alleyway between the houses. Once the smoke cleared there was nothing but fire and debris from the houses that once shielded them.
The roar of a metal aircraft caused the stunned group to look up. Skystar looked up from her rasping sob. And saw a formation of three smaller blue bird like aircraft howl overhead with a shrill scream. They dropped pony sized metal tubes from under their wings. The tubes disappeared behind a row of houses. Two seconds later, everyone fell to the ground as if someone had pulled the ground out from under them like a rug.
Looking up they saw that the houses were...gone... an entire block of houses, had been leveled to nothing more than a smoldering mountain of debris.
Whilst everyone was gazing stunned at the sheer amount of destruction that had occurred in a mere five minutes, an air vibrating sound akin to someone unzipping a zipper roared overhead with a *VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT*.
Two grey metal aircraft of a similar size, but completely different more boxy shape screamed overhead, a trail of what seemed to be small suns streaming from its front. One of the previous three blue metal bird like vehicles burst into a fury of purple and orange flames before screaming into the ground. The other two began to fly evasively, but shortly afterwards the second one joined its brother in death. As a metal pillar was dropped from one of the new aggressors and rode a trail of smoke and flame, it flew straight into the back of its target, causing it to explode.
The last blue green metal bird like vehicle began to fly in circles with one of the two grey ones. The second grey vehicle howled onto its tail and launched another pillar. The surviving blue craft spat several small suns from its tail and the pillar flew off in a random direction erratically.
*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT*
A Stream of smaller suns erupted from the ground. Most missed, but those that hit had ripped the left wing off the blue craft. It sharply rolled onto its back, and careened into the ground. Its impact marked by a loud 'Boom' and a large cloud of fire rising from the ground.
A Sound akin to a Pegasai team kicking a thundercloud began to reach the now thoroughly terrified, stunned and appalled group. looking up and behind them. They saw black Vehicles hovering in place like many of the winged species of Equestria could. A moving stick, now known to be the humans weapons. Rotated freely under its glass 'head' it would fire every so often at the ground.
With that the world around them morphed out of focus and returned to a grey mass that surrounded the now red eyed group.
Celestia just stood there with a blank yet seemingly thoughtful expression, staring off into nowhere...
"H-how long... Have they had such weapons?" Shining armour stuttered in shock.
Luna replies with. "They've been able to fly for the last two hundred or so years. their pipe weapons have been their species primary weapon for near two thousand years now."
"What... What was, such a battle fought for?" Archonev asked in shock.
"The attacking nation had run out of land and resources for its people. The country they attacked had little people living on its vast lands. As well as a small mountain of debts to the attacker." Luna answered.
How often do they fight each other like this..." Cadence mumbled. Luna's response would leave the group stunned and petrified.
"They've never stopped fighting each other... Beit for one reason or another, good or bad... They've always been at war with themselves... Some of their nations depend of war for their economy to remain stable.
Governor Teafeather of Nova Griffonia mumbled wide eyed. " They're just like how the empire used to be... To to think this is what could of happened to Nova Griffonia had we not embraced the pony way..." he shudders in fear as the mental image flashed over his mind.
Luna was sure her point was finally sinking in. But to nail home her recent advances she summoned several recollections of memories she'd taken from various humans.
The various memories formed around the group like a dome of TV screens. The one currently focused on would grow in size and sound would be given to it.
The spluttering of engines filled the hollow grey space the group stood in, A Shrill wail of a hand siren filled the air, and Humans wearing blue uniforms with rubber yellow vests, ran from a manor like building to their vehicles that sat on the green lawn in the front yard.
Aircraft were already rolling down the narrow path in-between the rows of still dormant tan coloured vehicles. The running humans were shouting and yelling at each other over the sirens wail.
Two humans in particular jogged side by side, stopping at an aircraft.
The blue dressed one yelled. "I've Fixed the hydraulic and electrical systems sir! But the oil hoses still need attention!-"
He was cut off when the yellow vested human yelled "JUST CRANK IT ANT'!" With that the blue dressed one said.
"Godspeed to you sir!" and began hand cranking a handle that stuck out the side of the metal vehicle.
The memory dulled out before sharpening again, the vehicles where now in flight towards a dense black cloud.
Patchy distorted voices were tearing through the memories sound. "B͝r̨ute ͏si̷x ͞w͢ill ̶be͘ goi̶ng af͡t͟er͏ ͝b̧o҉mb͡e͘r̕s͟!̵ ̧Brùt́e ̶fįv̶e͏ w̴il̛l be̕ ́l͠o͡o̶k̕i͘ng͏ òut for̨ t̸he f͟i͠g̵ht͢ers! ͏Brút̸e͟ ̴s͡i͡x g̨o͢i͝ng͏ fo̵r̛ b͘o̧ḿb̸èŗs ͢wa̧t̡ch ou͜t͠ ͘fo͟r͞ fi̶ǵh̢te̕rs͡!̕"
Another familiar voice cut in " Bombers sighted, Dead ahead! Lets drop in on em' and give them a reception!"
"Roger! following yew' red one!" The memory shrank down and another took its place. This moving image showed several Much larger tan coloured flying machines in formation, flying towards an island.
Two humans sat next to each other in the front of the vehicle. In front of them a seemingly random patchwork of gauges, buttons and switches. The rhythmic growl of engines made up the majority of the sound from this memory.
"Pilot to bombardier, Your ship." One of the two humans said.
"Bombardier to Pilot roger, my ship." The human in the nose of the plane leaned over what looked like a pair of binoculars.
"Bombardier to crew, bomb bay doors open." He announced whilst flicking a switch. The howling screech of wind filled the aircraft as explosions started to fill the air, shaking the crew and their aircraft. After a few more seconds of staring through the binoculars he flicked a series of switches and metal canisters clanked and fell out of the aircraft's midsection.
"Bombardier to Pilot, your ship." the human said.
"Roger." the voice came from seemingly nowhere in the memory but the group didn't have much time to think about that as the hum of the engines grew into a loud rumbling growl.
He pushed a leaver forward and a mechanical whine filled the inside of the craft.
"Bombardier to pilot, the doors are stuck.-" he was cut off by someone saying...
"Uh, oh. Zero inbound. Ten -O- clock level." And with that a previously unseen human in the memory ambled his way into the cramped space and reached for an awfully large human weapon, that sat in the window above the 'Bombardier'.
Someone else said. "Here they come boys, Come on out!". With that the new human pushed down on two buttons and the weapon roared to life with a rumbling *BRA-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT*
The human continued to fire seemingly at nothing. The group watching the memory from the safety of Luna's mind was confused at first, until a black spec appeared in the distance. Within a second the rapidly approaching spec grew into the form of another smaller machine. It hurtled towards the lumbering giant of a vehicle and the hail of suns it spat. before its wings lit up with fire and its own balls of light were thrown back.
Streaks of light flew through the glass nose of the airship. Sending shards of glass at the humans faces.
"Zamp, you've got to get those doors closed." With that the human the memory was focused on began to move throughout the cramped insides of the metal craft. Pushing a ladder out of his way he crawled under the space he just made before lowering the ladder back into its previous position. He turned on the narrow walkway. The sky outside was clearly visible. The screeching howl of wind swirled throughout this area of the strange vehicle.
Looking down and past the narrow walkway. He could see not only the streaks of light his fellow humans and their weapons were throwing into the air, but the attacking craft falling towards the ground or flying past on fire.
The memory and the pained screams from the humans inside of the sky-ship unfocused and shrank as Skystar looked back to the previous one. It returned back to its full size as its sound returned.
An Audible Buzzing noise filled Luna's space.
The human sitting inside the strange contraption shouts. "I'VE GOT ANOTHER ONE!" Just as a very worried voice yells out over the noise.
"RE͏D͟ ONE! ̀RED ̸ON͘E͘,̨ ̴Y̢OU'̷VE͘ ͢G͢O҉T̷ FIGHT̵E͟RS AL̨Ĺ OV̸E͞R̛ YO̧UR̴ ́TÀI͜L͡!͠ "
Another Humans voice yelled through with its distorted dire concern making the group cringe. "RE̶D ͢O͟NE̴! ̕GĘT͜ O͝U҉T̵TA T͏H̸ERE! ͞P̨U͡LL̢ ҉UP̷! ͜PU͡L̷L̴ UP̸! "
The human this memory focused on yells whilst sinkeing lower into his seat. "I'M UNDER FIRE! I'M TAKING FIRE!" Audible hissing and buzzing surrounded him in the claustrophobic space inside the vehicle. The human pushed a handhold forward and the hum of his machines engine turned into a mechanical growl, the view from inside his aircraft changed from one of the horizon to one of stormy grey skies.
everyone noticed it before the human did, but a black rubber hose began violently shaking and writhing in front of the pilot.
As the human noticed its strange movements it swelled until it burst. Spraying the tiny space with a black fluid whilst hissing hostility.
The human cried out in pain as the liquid was sprayed into his eyes and pulled his goggles over his eyes. He cries out " I'VE GOT AN OIL LEAK!" Then yells out in utter horror as the black liquid coming from the hose suddenly catches fire.
Everyone watching gasped and looked on in terror as the humans clothes caught fire.
"I CANT SEE A DAMN THING!" The human began furiously trying to move a small knob that sat on the metal rim of his glass bubble window, when it refused to budge he yells "I CANT BAIL! MY CANOPY'S STUCK! I CANT BAIL OUT!" He then punched the glass, but was only rewarded with a hollow thudding sound for his efforts.
The human reached down into a space beside his seat and pulls out a much smaller pipe weapon. He pulled a small hammer looking thing on the black weapon back before pointing it at the black stained glass bubble that surrounded his head.
*BLANG* *BLAM- BLAM* Everyone looked on in shock as the human dropped the weapon and lowered his clenched left fist, his clothing still alight, and began punching at the now damaged glass bubble. The glass shattered in fist sized holes and the sudden rush of air put the fire out. The humans clothes were charred and the thought of his condition under those clothes made Celestia shudder. Cadence had clenched her eyes shut and stopped looking ages ago, instead opting for burying her eyes into Shining's mane.
Back in the memory the human had turned to look out of the shattered hole filled glass behind him to see a black craft with a bright yellow nose growling behind him still firing. The human yells
"He's on my tail Red two!" A Series of rapid metallic thuds rang out through the humans cramped space. There was a small explosion behind him and his engine started to sputter. In terror the human yelled out "I'M HIT! I'M HIT!"
He pushes his control stick to the left, but his craft continues its upward right spiral. Ignoring his inputs the human is left powerless, He just sits in his seat mumbling "oh my god..." As his vehicle nose dives in a wide rolling spiral towards the ocean. Its screaming mechanical, howling, whine and sputtering engine informing all watching of its slow death. The human looked to his right to see his crafts right wing a raging inferno of orange flame, the world outside spinning violently around him.
Skystar clenched her eyes shut and looked away just before the doomed human and his dying machine slammed into the raging dark blue ocean. The sound of shearing metal against the wet *THUD* Causing all to jump.
Luna looked around. Everyone had been Scared by what they'd witnessed, Teafeather and Archonev stood there frozen silently watching jaws agape. Cadence and Skystar held their eyes shut with tears freely flowing. Twilight stood there, her eyes wide as saucers and visibly shaking. King Jolev of Olenia and Ambassador Ralen of the buffalo had visibly changed to several new shades of pale. Celaeno had removed her hat and held it against her chest out of respect, her face wearing a sad frown. And shining armour stood there with a serious expression mumbling a prayer to both the humans and they themselves.
Shining noticed a previously unseen memory above him, Upon looking into it, the memory grew and lowered itself along the dome of images until at eye level.
The memory was following a group of humans through an open field of budding wheat. Four large green metal vehicles on strange wheels rolled through the center of the field towards a treeline.
Behind each vehicle was a double file group of humans, at least thirty behind each. One of the humans sitting half out of one of the vehicles looked to his right and yelled into a box he was holding. "look ONE THREE ONE THREE LOOK! RIGHT STICK RIGHT STICK YOU'VE GOT TROOPS ON THE GROUND!"
A humans voice yelled out of a box inside the vehicle "FUCK! SHIT! RIGHT STICK, RIGHT STICK!" One of the vehicles lumbered to the right and several humans that were lying on the ground rolled out of the way to the left.
The Human this memory focused on yelled into the box. "FUCK SAKES! ONE THREE! PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!"
Celestia looked Appalled at the humans language. Archonev Was steeling himself for the gory mess he knew was about to occur.
Dozens of human voices were being emitted from a box inside the metal vehicle. A Human just behind the Massive metal vehicle Yelled "STAY. DOWN! Keep Behind the Tank-" His voice was cut off by a sudden loud Purr. a near constant stream of teal streaks flew at the human vehicle. Shining changed to a green hue as several humans let out short pained howls before falling to the ground in mists of crimson. Their bodies lay in a mess of red gore and amputated limbs from the rapid stream of teal streaks tearing at the 'Tanks'.
One 'Tank' Turned its head to face the source of the storm of death. An unseen human inside the tank yelled "ON THE WAY!" The tanks weapon Belched a cloud of fire and sent an orange streak into the place the attacking humans lay, sending dismembered body parts flying through the air in a cloud of dirt.
The human atop the vehicle said calmly. "Cease fire, Cease fire. Target destroyed."
"How can they be so callus?! THEIR BRUTALLY MURDERING EACH OTHER!" Twilight yelled at the memory.
Before Luna could respond. There was a loud *Pop* from the treeline, Screaming past an orange stream similar to the Tanks projectile just missed, turning around the human watched as it hit the ground several hundred meters behind them and bounced off into the air.
The human Yelled "FUCK! ANTI-TANK. H.E. TRAVERSE LEFT!"
With that there was another *Pop* from the treeline and yet another orange ball flew towards the tanks and the humans behind them. This one hit, causing the huge armoured vehicle to shake violently, but it was only a passing glance. The projectile flew off into the cloudy grey sky with a sinister reverberating chirp.
A humans voice came from the box inside the tank. "Just a Ricochet, were OK" the human the memory was focused on sat lower in his tanks head until he was eye level with the top of its head.
"BULLSHIT! THAT'S A KRAUT HIGH VELOCITY GUN! I CAN HEAR IT WHISTLING!"
Two of the other tanks began spraying projectiles into the treeline. The tank fires its weapon and an orange streak lands in the treeline, a sixty foot tall pine tree falls over as a massive green red and orange explosion rocks the forest.
"Ok. Cease fire cease fire. AT Destroyed." The moment the human finished his sentence another *pop* exploded from the forest sending yet another orange projectile screaming towards the tanks. this one however connected. the tank farthest to the right explodes in a massive ball of fire. Its metal head flies off of its body and through the air. With a hollow *Thud* the steel top of the tank lands several dozen feet away from its body. The pained screams of the humans that once stood behind it reach the group watching, causing Cadence to hold her hooves to her ears. Skystar does the same cringing, tears still streaming freely from the previous memories.
The remaining three tanks turn their metal heads and fired at the treeline the hidden aggressor was loosing its projectiles from.
"All tanks! All tanks! Squirt that treeline! Light those fuckers up!" A human from the box yelled.
All three tanks began spraying red and orange projectiles over the forest, firing their main weapons as well. trees young and old splintered and collapsed to the floor. There was an explosion from inside the treeline, just as the other one, it was massive and colourful... Red, green and orange fire flew from it and set the surrounding forest alight.
The tanks didn't stop, they kept advancing, protecting the humans walking behind them from the hail storm of projectiles that showered the group. Humans in trenches died in droves and as the tanks continued to advance. They drove over several wounded humans in grey uniforms who where not fast enough to crawl into their friends trenches.
The screams of the humans being ran over and their abrupt squishy cut off caused the group to begin to look sick, even through no one was watching anymore, no one could... but Luna kept the memory open.
'They must see this. its the only way for them to understand the fire their playing with'
"MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!" Cadence practically screamed in agony.
With that Luna glowed and they group was returned to the warmth of the 'Castle of Friendship's' Foyer. The group looked shell shocked. Luna was now concerned that in her rage at their arrogance she'd shown them too much. She hurriedly rushed to explain.
The humans are not by nature violent. By nature their quite compassionate, loving creatures. They love technological challenge or a challenge in general, they love sports and art and music. In a great many ways they're like all of us. War and fighting has always been a part of their nature and culture. However it was usually small battle and skirmishes. That all changed in their 1900's when technology began to rapidly advance. eventually each faction on their world were struggling to make increasingly effective weapons to protect their people VIA discouraging an offensive against them. However greed plays as much a part in their people society as it sadly does ours.
"How- How could they do this to themselves! WILLINGLY NO LESS!" Twilight practically yelled. Luna responded with.
"Never willingly! The humans never start wars willingly! Theres always an underlying goal, a need. Their two most destructive wars. Aptly named: World War One and World War Two. Saw the bloodiest fighting in their people history, it has yet to be surpassed. World war one was starting just as the human industry advanced far enough to allow inconceivable mass production of civilian goods. When the war started each side rapidly converted those factories to making weapons for their armies and thus a blood bath never before seen ensured. The same event happened with World war two. Only this time the factions industry had grown further, and technology had advanced so far that weapons were growing to terrifying levels of destructive power. By the end of both World wars,the estimated deaths range from 50-80 million. 38 to 55 million civilians were killed, including 13 to 20 million from war-related disease and famine."
Everyone looked utterly destroyed by those statistics. Understandably too. It was common knowledge that there had been no major wars in their known world in over a thousand years. No one barring Celestia and Luna in attendance had seen such conflict before. Even then Celestia chose to forget such memories.
But Luna chose to never forget the fields of maimed dead and dying that laid before her. She never forgot the name and face of her commander, The same pony she had watched and been a second mother to since his colt-hood. She remembers the cold of the rain showering her back as she sat in the blood stained quagmire of mud and clay, shielding his broken dying body from the rain as she was powerless to save him. The remembers his last breath leaving his body as he died in her hooves...
Luna was determined to NEVER let such fighting happen AGAIN.
"The short of it is: first war was started when one country was being bullied by another stronger one. That country Called for its stronger ally to help it, which it did. The instigating county called its ally to help it and eventually both groups dug in and fighting ravaged their world. Once the war was over. The ally of the bullied nation was forced to pay an unrealistic amount in damages to the nations that fought and won the war, as well as this, not only did they have to pay so much money that they risked nationwide bankruptcy. But to top it all off they had to give so much of their industry to the victors that their nation was bogged down in mass unemployment and debt. This caused an event for the nation of 'Germany' called. The great depression.
During this economic depression. Inflation of currency was so bad. The the 'German' people who had money burned it in the winter to stay warm. And those that didn't would have to pay our equivalent of $60 bits for a loaf of bread-"
"THATS INSANE!" Twilight yelled out. "That's enough bits to feed two family's for three weeks!" Twilight yelled in dismay.
"Exactly. That continued on for several years until an evil man rose to power in Germany, Promising his people that they would never go hungry again, and Germany will be one of the most powerful and advanced nations on the planet. This man. Kept his world. He tore up the treaty of appeasement and restored his peoples land to above its former glory..."
"And then?" Skystar asks wearily.
"Then his greed got the better of him. By the time the second world war had started... Germany had annexed about the same amount of land Nova Griffonia currently claims. By the peak of the war Germany and their Allies would own a combined land similar to that of which the griffon empire currently owns. The violent brutal fighting fought by a once desperate people under the thumb of a dictator. Once again. Germany fell. And its government was dissolved. It was divided in two between the two victorious countries that ended its reign. It's Currently united under its own reign again, only with a different flag, ideology and morals now.
The goal of my sister and I, is to show the humans our ways, and try to keep them peaceful for long enough for a friendship to foster between our races, Bringing us all together."
After an awkward silence Teafeather spoke up. "Watching their history was horrific... It reminded me of what my people was like before you reached out to us. Helped us..." He said through a sad expression, before standing upright and proud. "Nova Griffonia will offer any and as much assistance with settling the humans as necessary!" Luna smiled thankfully, but before she could say thank you. Everyone else joined in.
"The Buffalo will Provide support as well!"
"As will we!" Skystar Proclaimed. "I'm positive mother will agree!"
"The crystal empire will offer as much aid as is required!" Cadence spoke up. Shining agreed almost instantly.
Archonev Took on an expression of anger. " Stalliongrad will NEVER support such a people! You fools are supporting your own Destruction! We Should END THEM! Whilst they are weak! Eliminate the threat!"
"Then your not welcomed in my castle!" Twilight said flaring her horn in disgust. The ambassador of Stalliongrad was surrounded in a bright purple aura then -=Telipoofed=- from the foyer.
Everyone's gaze fell on the silent Celaeno. "I Apologize. But i'll have to return home and consult my peoples king before i can give you any affirmative pledge... But you can bet that me and my crew will be at your assistance once we return! Make a list of what you need and we'll return immediately!" She said with excited devotion!
It was then that the group heard talking from the other side of the doors to the library. Curious Twilight began to walk over and nudged the door open. What she found made her jaw fall agape.
There sitting at a table before her. Was two humans dressed in camouflaged uniforms, And sunburst, As well as the three Cutie-mark crusaders. By now the group had noticed Twilight's body tense and wandered over. Shining, upon seeing the humans glared daggers at the humans. Causing the male one to drop his teacup.
The moment the sound of shattering ceramic filled the room. Everyone was shouting at each other.
Leaving Sunburst and the CMC sitting there looking at the display before them. Sunburst sighed and face-hoofed.
After two minutes of trying to speak but being cut off he inhales deeply... "QUUIIIIIEEET!" He yells whilst surrounding the two parties in one way sound proofed shields. Only his voice could pierce the yellow auras surrounding both parties.
"All of you! SHUT UP! And get along! Luna, Celestia and I. Have Had ENOUGH!. Your all going to talk with each other. Civilly. The first Pony or Creature i see misbehave. Gets turned into a Chicken! Am i Clear!" He yells out in frustration, huffing from the effort.
The Humans crossed their arms and nodded begrudgingly. And the Group of various creatures nodded, looking very agitated about being treated like children.
With that outburst out of the way, and his point clear. Sunburst Levitated more chairs over to the table and spike brought in more cups and an assorted plate of biscuits and cookies. No one at the table made eye contact with each other in either shame or fear, Causing Sunbursts left eye to twitch.
