Her Captain, Wilson Fitzgerald is placed in charge as commander for the entire Battle-group. The Battle-group is comprised of the USS Saipan which is an LHA-2, the CG-58 USS Philippine Sea, the LPD-15 USS Ponce, the DDG-66 USS Gonzalez, the LSD-44 USS Gunston Hall, the FFG-47 USS Nicholas, and SSN-755 USS Miami.

January 24th, 2007 5:00 pm

The shout of "Land sighted!" echoed and spread across the USS Saipan rapidly. Captain Fitzgerald himself even coming down from the Bridge onto the main deck to stand with the men and stare in shock and awe at the Land mass in front of them, about in size of Australia it wasn't at all impressive to the US size wise, and it appeared to mostly be desert, but still they were the first men to ever see new land on what seems to be a completely new world, and that awe soon spread to the entire Fleet as everyone took a moment or two to consider what their place in history will be, enforcing the importance of their mission to all aboard the six ships and one submarine.

Within two hours they were close enough to see the shore, several scraggly looking trees poking out of the parched soil. Soldiers of the 22nd Marines were soon loaded onto Helicopters and sent to the shore to establish a beachhead, reporting an 'All Clear' within 30 minutes. Causing the rest of the Division to deploy to shore, and the fleet to set anchor and start reporting back to their Command.

"Hey, Sergeant! Come 'ere and take a look at this!" Came a shout from the east side of the beach. Sergeant Stuart turned towards the direction of the shout and walked over to the man who called for him, raising his eyebrow as he saw what the man had found.

A small insect like with a ratty looking Green mane and green pupils stood shaking in pure terror as four men stood around it, guns drawn and fingers on the trigger. Little did these men know they had just found and captured Queen Chrysalis's last surviving daughter Princess Nymph.

"What in the name of..." Stuart muttered looking at it. He'd let out a sigh and gesture for the men to lower their weapons.

"It's just an animal, new land entails new creatures after all...even if they look...odd," He'd say taking a knee and getting a better look at the creature, as it impossibly took a slightly insulted looking expression.

"I-I'm not an animal you stupid monkey, I-I'm Princess Nymph of the Changeling Kingdom and I-I demand you release me before my mother finds out," The small now named Princess states with a slight stutter as she looks around at the baffled looking bi-peds around her.

"Did that thing just talk? Please tell me I'm not hearing things Corporal," Stuart would say to the man next to him, who would respond with a smirk.

"New land 'sarge. Anything is possible after all,"

"H-hey I'm not a 'thing!'" the bug horse would respond standing up straighter and puffing out her chest, trying to be intimidating, but only receiving a chuckle from the battle hardened marines around her.

The Sergeant would return his gaze to her, seemingly lost in thought for a moment before gesturing to the men around him. "Alright, take her into custody for now, I'm going to report to the Captain. For the love of god don't hurt her, I don't want to have a diplomatic incident with a new god damn race and have my name put on the front of it."

His response was met with slight grumbles from the men and pure panic from the Nymph as she attempts to bolt, though she's quickly intercepted and gently, yet firmly pinned to the ground and picked up.

"L-l-let me go! P-p-p-please!" She'd wail tears flowing from her cheeks.

"Shhh, its alright young'un we aren't gonna hurt ya, we're just takin' you to the Captain so we can find out where we are." Says the bi-ped who scooped her up, before rummaging around in his pockets and taking out a small brown package labeled 'Hersheys' and unwrapping it, revealing to her wonder chocolate. Now Chocolate was an extremely rare luxury in the Changeling Kingdom, due to their current status with Equestria and lack of means of producing Coca Beans so when she saw this creature pull out the bar like it was nothing, she let out a small gasp.

"Here, take this little gal, my brother sent this from home, but I was never a big chocolate fan anyways so you can have it," The creatures would say, handing the bar to her. Which she eagerly accepted into her small hooves, starting to nibble on it savoring the sweetness and pure taste of chocolate of which she had only tasted twice in her eight years of life before hoof.

"T-thank you very much for that, b-but how did you get it? Chocolate is so rare! Are you a noble from some long last land?" She'd inquire, wonder in her eyes and chocolate in her teeth.

The bi-ped lets out a chuckle at the look on her face. "Nah, I'm not anyone special. Just a raggedy ass marine we have a ton of Chocolate at home, it's pretty cheap actually, guess it isn't so here huh?" He says a smirk on his face.

"N-no, we only get chocolate from Equestria, but ever since mom went over there things aren't so good anymore... A lot of the changelings that went with her didn't come back... mommy says their in a better place now though, so I'm happy for them." She says looking sad for a moment.

The biped would grimace, knowing what her mother meant by 'a better place' having sent many men and seen many men to sent to it himself. He continued carrying her to the command tent in silence, both of them lost in thought.

As they reach the command tent they see several other men gathered around it all trying to get a look at the new creature and muttering among themselves. "HEY! THIS ISN'T A ZOO BOYS, GET BACK TO YOUR POSTS!" came a sudden shout as a rather short, yet angry looking man came bursting out of the tent bearing the rank chevrons of a Gunnery Sergeant.

The crowd instantly scattered, no one wanting to be subject to the wrath of their Gunny. The short man turns his gaze to Nymph and the man holding her. "Hartman, took you long enough drop off the kid inside of the tent and get back to your post before I have your ass served up for this mornings breakfast!"

"YES, GUNNY!" Shouts Hartman as he quickly enters the tent, sets the changeling down and bolts for his previous watch post.

Princess Nymph was terrified as she was set down, the short biped having hurt her ears with his shouting and her 'friend?' having left almost instantly after dropping her off. She took a few seconds to take in the tent in which she was deposited in. Taking note of a strange flag hung up the east side bearing too many white stars for her to count, a blue background and thirteen of a mixture of red and white stripes. She also saw another Bi-ped wearing a slightly different uniform, looking more 'official and regal' compared to others outside. This must be their King she decided, quickly bowing and pressing her muzzle into the sandy floor afraid that he might have her killed it she doesn't.

She tilted her head in confusion when she heard a low chuckle come out of the bi-ped as it gently lifts her chin to look into it's bright blue eyes. "None of that now, I'm a solider not a Monarch. In fact the United States hasn't had a Monarch for its entire existence."

'No King? No Queen? How could that be possible?!' She thought to herself, before stand back up on all fours and looking up at the bi-ped.

"W-whats your name then, Mr. Monkey? Mines Princess Nymph Roachanov" She squeaks out, trying to be polite.

The bi-ped lets out a chuckle. "First off young lady, I am not a monkey. Me and my Kind are Humans, or simply 'men', second off my name is Captain Wilson Fitzgerald of the United States Navy."

"United States?" She asks tilting her head in confusion, having never heard about that country in her lessons on the various nations of the world.

"Ah, we're uh. A bit new around here you see, I'm not currently at liberty to explain it, but if you could tell me where your mommy is so I could go talk to her that'd be greatly appreciated." The man would ask taking a seat on the ground next to her.

"Oh! If you wanted to know where mommy is you should've just asked earlier! She's really close by in the hive!" She says a bright smile adorning her face. "Here, I could show you if you have a map!"

"We do indeed have a map, and I'd be extremely grateful if you could show us where your 'hive' is," The man would say, taking out a weird looking metal slab and tapping on it for a moments before to her shock a large image of the surrounding desert appears on it.

"W-Wow, you hoo-mans must have some really good magic to make stuff like that! I'll show you where mommy's hive is now, it's right...about..here," She says while pointing to what seems to be a large cliff with a cave entrance on the map. "It's right in there! I know it seems kinda creepy at first, but mommy's really nice I promise so, don't be scared please!" She says while giving a large smile.

He'd grin and ruffle her mane a bit, like her older sister used to do before she went to a 'better place' to. She sure hopes all the other changelings are having fun where ever they went. As she thinks back on recent events she'd let out a gasp. "Oh no! I forgot about Commander Chitin! He's probably super worried about me after I ran off, last I saw he was in the bushes watching you hoo-mans!" She would shout, worry engulfing her features.

The mans face would substantially darken as he hears this news worry engulfing his features as he takes out his radio. "Attention, someone saw us take the kid in. They most likely have no idea of our intentions and by the military rank they were given suggests they mostly likely have reported to their peoples leader. Be prepared for contact, though lethal's are prohibited unless your life or the life of another is DIRECTLY threatened. This camp is now on HIGH alert," He'd rapidly say into the radio, getting several responses of 'Rodger that' and 'Over' from the NCOS in the base.

Changeling Lands, Chrysalis's Hive. 1003 ALR

The doors to the throne room would slam open, as a changeling rushes inside bearing the armor and insignia of a Commander he gets no resistance from the Royal guard. After a moment he rushes to the feet of the throne, throwing himself to the ground in a bow and catching his breath.

Queen Chrysalis would raise a metaphorical eyebrow recognizing the changeling as the one who accompanied her last surviving daughter on her walk outside. "Yes, Chitin? What is it that has you so frazzled?"

He'd let out several more pants before saying the three words that Chrysalis feared the most. "P-princess, Nymph. Foal napped" he'd rapidly pant before collapsing onto his side, exhaustion and undernourishment having consumed most of his energy in his mad dash back to the hive.

Chrysalis's face would almost turn bone white as she shoots straight up on her throne, ignoring the pain that shoots up through her body from her broken bones. "Rally everyling that is healthy enough to fight! I will not let some wretched pony or any creature think it can MY BABY and get away from it!" She'd shriek in a voice filled with panic and grief as the mobilization process begins.
