Nathan and Tristan climbed on the roof of an M7A1 inquisitor multiple missile launcher system, the vehicle being tall enough for all 10,000 Marines and army troops, along with the 100 border patrol agents to see both of them. They both had mega phones, both intending to use the device to speak to the small ocean of combat ready U.S. Marines and Army troops.

"Okay everyone, in a few hours we're going to raid an Equestrian supermax prison, but that's on hold because we still need the go around from a spy we have on the inside, along with an ariel diversion over Equestria's capital, Canterlot" said Tristan through his megaphone.

"And how long is it going to take the spy to get here" asked a young Marine who was at the very front.

"Well, he should be on his way to the transport vehicle we told him about, it should be atleast 20 or so minutes until he arrives, so everyone ready your equipment" answered Nathan.

Not long after everyone scrambled to ready their equipment for they're impending use in the United States offensive against Equestria, all 10,000 troops along with every ground and air vehicles will attack the Baltimare prison on its western side.

Flash Sentry, Joshua Richardson, Jeremy Manowar perspective

Flash found himself again walking through the forest where the creatures were, though now instead of calling them creatures, he now knew they were called humans, which was a more pleasant way of addressing them. Though, the difference about walking through the forest this time, was that he didn't feel scared of losing his life to the humans, in fact, they where inspecting him, which made him feel wanted and cared about. He felt safe and secure for some reason, he knew the creatures had good intentions, and from what he read about their history, they had it extremely rough. So much so, that they're species where almost wiped out by themselves several times.

Flash continued walking, he was told in his last visit with the humans to look for a vehicle with four wheels, containing a rubber covering around an inner metal core. The two who where going to pick him up where two humans he got to know very well, both being fairly young much like Flash himself.

One being named Joshua Richardson and the other Jeremy Manowar, both being apart of a law enforcement division called border Patrol, which regularly patrols their countries borders for those coming in illegally without any identification.

Flash continued walking through the forest, searching for the Rendezvous point the humans told him about, desperately hoping he hadn't passed it without knowing, but as he was starting to lose hope, he saw it. He saw a vehicle with 4 wheels that had a camouflaged color patterns containing several shades of dark green that made it difficult to spot, along that two humans where standing next to it in full armor, though he really couldn't tell who they were due to the distance and darkness that separated himself and them. The distance that separated Flash and the humans was about 13 meters (43 feet) long the darkness and visual obstacles obstructing a clear visual of the creatures, causing Flash to have second thoughts about approaching the humans.

So instinctively Flash stood still, allowing his eyes to adjust to the lighting and distance, though he was unknowingly standing in the open giving away his position. Not long after, the humans looked directly towards Flash's direction, than started waving their hands in his direction in a friendly manner while walking towards him.

"Hey Flash, we've been waiting for you" said one of the humans with a semi robotic tone, and for some reason Flash recognized the voice under the helmet, but not a second later they both took of their helmets to reveal who they where.

And to Flash's surprise it was Jeremy, this was the transport vehicle Flash was told about, so he trotted towards the two with a smile, suspecting the other human to be Joshua. He was.

"Hey guys, how's it been?" Asked Flash, who stopped his trotting a meter (4 feet) away from Joshua and Jeremy.

"I'm doing good" answered Jeremy, not long after Joshua replied with "never better." Both kneeled down to greet Flash, considering Jeremy and Joshua were taller than Flash by a good 3 feet.

Flash got closer, being met with a pet on the head by Joshua, and a scratch on the his upper neck that was below his chin by Jeremy, which made Flash "hmm" with satisfaction.

Not long after Jeremy and Joshua got to their feet, motioning Flash to follow them towards the their vehicle. Which was a 2019 Ram 1500 with several shades of dark green camouflage that formed a glitch pattern, the truck also had its cab covered with a armored top that was made out of steel reinforced aluminium to prevent any passengers from being hit with any stray bullets or shrapnel, the main body of the truck was also covered with armor, though in the form of steel slabs sandwiched between an outer layer of bullet proof fiber glass and an inner layer of shrapnel absorbent carbon fiber. To substitute the weight that truck had, the engine made a whopping 1,235 horsepower and 1,035 foot pounds of torque through a souped up military spec Mopar performance 515 supercharged V8, and surprisingly it was quite reliable, at least up to par with the Humvees 656 horsepower V6 in terms of reliability.

Flash followed the two towards the truck, trotting in front of them with a smile and body language that screamed "I'm challenging you to something."

"Hey Flash, are you trying to challenging me to something?" Asked Joshua, looking at Flash with a raised eyebrow.

"Nah, it wouldn't be fair for you since I have the ideal stallions body" Flash said with a tone that screamed "I'm better than you."

"you've got to be kidding me, you really think you could take us?" Said Joshua.

"I don't think so, I know so" responded Flash, who said it with a flamboyant demeanor.

"Oh you're on!" Screamed Joshua and Jeremy, running towards the truck with Flash running with them.

23 minutes later, everyone's perspective

Tristan and Nathan where outside their tent, watching the 200 changeling along with Chrysalis herself come out of a single Nimbus transport zeppelin. While this was happening, all the prisoners from the beach massacre were being loaded onto another Nimbus transport zeppelin, one of 9 that where coming from the United States to aid in the safe retrieval of the changeling in Baltimare prison.

Not a second later, every one heard the roar of a very familiar vehicles, one with an abundance of power that two border Patrol agents where using to pick up high value personal, actually just one high value person. Or pony.

Tristan and Nathan looked towards the direction of the sound, waiting for an armored Ram 1500 to burst out of the tree line full speed. They weren't disappointed.

Chrysalis was walking towards Tristan and Nathan, 2 humans that made up the many humans she's gotten to know, but there where those who were special to her, such as Tristan and Nathan along with several others. Though, she stopped as she heard a loud roar coming from the tree line, she than saw the Ram 1500 burst out of the tree line and into air going 152 kilometers an hour (95 miles an hour), the truck went 2 meters (8 feet) into the air. The truck hit the ground with a noticeable whining sound from the military spec coilover suspension and a screech from the lower body hitting the ground, the force of the truck hitting the ground at such a high velocity caused the military spec coilover suspension to descend into itself, only to push itself back up causing the truck to bounce back up 0.6 meters (2 feet) into the air and hit the ground with so much force that it sent wall of sand that reached 3 meters (12 feet) into the air, flying in every direction around the vehicle.

For everyone who had the blessing of seeing the truck, human and or changeling, it was an amazing sight to behold, the way the suspension caved into itself only to extend to their default height in matter of seconds was a magical sight, minus the magic.

Chrysalis finished walking towards Nathan and Tristan, "hello boys, did you miss me?" Asked chrysalis, in her usual seductive tone.

"Hi Chrysalis" responded both Nathan and Tristan, waving their hands towards Chrysalis's direction.

Chrysalis stood near Nathan and Tristan as the truck barrels towards them doing 120 kilometers an hour (75 miles an hour), once the truck was 12 meters (39 feet) away from them it gunned the brakes full force, the brake hose applying pressure ot the calipers, making the brakes pads grind against the rotor causing the wheels to cease their forward motion and completely stop, grinding on the sand. The truck started to swerve right, giving full view of the driver side window, which was 50 millimeters (2 inches) thick, one way black tinted clear aluminum that was 3 times lighter, and 10 times stronger glass, so much so that it could take a 50. Cal and stay fully intact.

The truck came to a full stop a meter (4 feet) away from Nathan and Tristan, giving a slight scare. Though, as for Chrysalis, she didn't really anticipate that the truck was as big as it was, it was two feet taller than Nathan and Tristan, and was quite long, it made dragon emperor Harrikor and prince Hendershu look small, and weak. The sheer bulk of the vehicle gave off an intimidating presence, despite the fact Chrysalis knew that it wasn't alive and breathing, she knew the vehicle was armored and ready to fight against a compendium of threats.

'It seems like every vehicle in this kingdom's position is built for battle' Chrysalis thought, she shivered at the thought of the United States most powerful weapons capabilities, she imagined entire civilization being wiped of the face of the earth in vivid detail, though before she could imagine what would happen to said residents of the kingdom's the door to the truck opened to reveal two border Patrol agents she became rather fond of...and a royal guard.

"Umm...who's that?" Asked Chrysalis, pointing her left hoove at Flash Sentry.

"That's Flash, he's our guy on the inside, he's been giving us intelligence on the state of the changeling in the prison, the layout of said prison, and the weapons the guards are using" answered Nathan, looking at Chrysalis with an innocent smile, his golden eyes glistening in the sunlight.

"In other words, he's a good guy" commented Tristan, looking in the direction of the truck Jeremy, Joshua, and Flash exited from, they than made they're way towards the group.

23 minutes later

"So Mr. Flash, you seem to be all too willing to show the me, and the United States every single prison of Equestrian occupation" said Chrysalis, looking at Flash with a suspicious demeanor.

"Well Ms. Chrysalis, the changeling's who didn't join Thorax after your fall were rounded up and put in prisons against their will, and they're being treated like they not sentient beings" answered Flash.

"But, why isn't Celestia doing anything?" Asked Tristan.

"I-I...don't know" answered Flash.

"I have an idea" said Nicholas, walking into the tent with everyone looking into his direction.

"What is it?" Asked Flash, who was putting on a worried expression.

"Celestia doesn't seem to like the idea of other kingdoms changing the fung shway, especially kingdom's with power to challenge Equestria's military presence" answered Nicholas.

"What makes you come to this solution?" Asked Tristan.

"Well, considering how Celestia seemed to really want to talk and make peace with the U.S. makes me think, would she do the same if we were not as powerful as we are. Would she just steamroll over us and be done with it?" Nicholas Nicholas.

"Well, how many kingdoms hold the power equal to that of Equestria Flash?" Asked Nathan.

"As of right now, only yours has the power to challenge Equestria" answered Flash.

"Well, their could still be another answe-" before Tristan could finish his sentence, his radio started to beep, signaling that he was receiving a transmission.

[radio] "This is areal diversion group 'Wet Division' to the encampment, we're closing in on Equestrian airspace, give us the word and operation 'burning desire' will be a go"

Tristan looked towards Flash and Chrysalis and sighed, "are you guys sure you want us to proceed with this operation?"

Chrysalis and Flash looked at each other, than back at Tristan, and nodded.

This made him smile slightly, he than held the radio closer to his face and said "wet division, you're clear to proceed, let's send these ponies a message they'll never forget."

Location: Equestria, approaching Canterlot and Ponyville
Time: 10 days after Naval battle
Perspective: princess Celestia, princess Luna, princess Cadance, Apple Jack, areal squadron wet division

[radio] "wet division, you're clear to proceed, let's send these ponies a message they'll never forget"

"Okay guys, let's not fuck this up" said the squadron commander, who was in 1 of the 3 Lockheed Martin FB-90 Hustler 2's in his command, he was the Observer for his aircraft, along side the defense system operator and pilot. The squadron itself was in a V formation, the commanders (FB-90) aircraft being in the middle while the other 2 were on his 9 and 3 o'clock, all 3 aircraft were traveling 3,482 kilometers an hour (2,164 miles an hour, or mach 2) at an altitude of 442 meters (1,453 feet).

To the FB-90 squadrons 5 o'clock, 14 meters (45 feet) away, traveling the same speed as the FB-90's were 2 McDonald Douglas F-15U Plus delta winged escort fighters, both tasked with seeking out and determining possible hostile threats coming towards the many beta squadrons that made up this 21 aircraft strong multi task squadron, wether it be pony or something else considering the abundance of kingdom's that make up this land.

To these 2 squadrons 7 o'clock, 24 meters (82 feet) away was a squadron made up of 5 FA-24A tigercat air superiority fighters. The 5 aircraft were also tasked with protecting the squadron, they relied on their far reaching 1,356 kilometers (843 miles) multi function radar, as well as the F-15U's 2,521 kilometer (1,567 miles) reaching multi vision radar to see targets in all directions from as far as possible with a precise and swift response.

The FA-24A was once the United States Premier stealth superiority fighter, until the Raptor program was commissioned after the fifteen program was temporarily suspended in 2002. Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman were both commissioned for the project, which led to the creation of the F-22 raptor which evolved into the F/A-22 velociraptor, FB-22-1 King Raptor, FB-22C, FB-22-4 FB-22-5, F-24 tomcat 2, and X-44 manta.

To the 3 squadrons 1 o'clock was a squadron of 8 Lockheed Martin/Northrop Grumman F-35X Hellcat's, they were 34 meters (102 feet) ahead of the 3 squadrons, giving them the first heads up if somethings coming towards them. The F-35X was part of the stacked odds project that both Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin were commissioned for, which led first to the creation of the A, B, and C variants of the F-35, but further down the line newer and more advanced models of the F-35 platform came. Such as the F-35M, F-35U, FB-35, F/A-35E Death Adder, F-35 UCAV variants of the A, B, and C, X-35B, F-35D, and of course the F-35X.

To the 3 squadrons 6 o'clock was 3 F/A-37 Talon stealth fighter, the newest aircraft out of all of them, being the only fighter out of several secretive fighter jets declassified only a week before the United States was transported to Equestria, the rest being classified until the whole dark sparrow air superiority program is finished. The United States Air Force saw the new stealth fighter as a great contender to join wet division in this operation for its alien look. It's forward swept wings were like the F-14 tomcats, being able to retract its wings towards it body when going supersonic, spreading them and using its 2D thrust vectoring nozzles when performing complex maneuvers.

All 4 squadrons made up the 21 aircraft strong multi mission squadron named wet division, every pilot in this squadron was extremely well trained and experienced to deal with and carry out complex missions with deadly accuracy, and in 20 minutes they would be closing in on the Equestrian capital, Canterlot to create the biggest diversion this world has ever seen.

1 minute before arrival, everyone's perspective

"Approaching Canterlot and Ponyville, ETA 1 minute" said one of the F-15U Plus pilots, looking at his onboard mapping system that projected his exact location on earth as long as there were satellite pictures of said place.

"Okay everyone, weapons hot!" Announced The squadron commander.

The squadron continued traveling towards Canterlot and Ponyville, rapidly lowering their altitude to 112 meters (369 feet), in hopes exposing their aircraft and themselves to the whole of Canterlot and Ponyville. Not long after they broke the cloud layer and slowed their speed to 2,018 kilometers an hour (1,254 miles an hour), which is still several times faster than any flying creature in Equestria's sky's.

Apple Jack was walking towards a few tree's with apple's still on them when she heard what seemed to be thunderbolt's, or maybe Rainbow Dash flying overhead. She looked up towards the sky, only to spot the 21 U.S. aircraft barreling toward Canterlot, not long after she started running towards Twilight's castle to tell Celestia and everypony about them, fully aware of their capabilities, but before she could get a significant distance towards the castle, the aircraft already closed the distance between them and Canterlot and were circling both Canterlot and Ponyville. Despite the fact the aircraft beat her to her destination without really trying, she continued towards Twilight's castle with the determination of a crackhead trying to break into a 7/11 at 3:49 AM on a Tuesday.

Once Apple Jack made it into Ponyville, she saw the town was in disarray, everypony was running around either screaming or seeking shelter away from the aircraft. Though, all of that was in vain because of the technology the aircraft had, considering they have heartbeat sensers, infrared cameras, and brainwave detectors.

"Sir, they're panicking and we haven't even let out our munitions yet" said one of the F/A-37 pilots.

"Everyone get into positions, let's worsen their day more than we've already have!" Said the squadron commander.

Apple jack continued running through the town, ducking and dodging through the hoards of ponies panicking throughout the town. As Apple Jack was running towards the castle she fought the ever-growing urge to look up towards sky to look at the aircraft. She succumb to this urge.

She looked up, as she did so her eyes widened when she saw one of the aircraft (F-35X) rapidly lower it's altitude to 17 meters (56 feet) faster than any airborne creature she's ever seen, the sight of it left her with a sense of shock and awe. Especially with how the wings were formed, she's never seen anything flying with wings swept forward, unless the wings of said thing was broken, which left her questioning why it was flying with relative ease, seemingly unaffected by its alien wing shape.

Though not a second after, she pushed these thoughts to the back of her mind and continued to Twilight's castle, fearing what would happen if she doesn't tell the princesses of the aircraft.

"Sir, when are we going to start the blaze? We've already made ourselves known" asked one of the FB-90 pilots.

"We've got to wait till the princesses come out. we're trying to make ourselves known to the entire kingdom, we don't want any kingdom getting any ideas about trying to invade" responded the commander looking out the left side of the canopy.

Not long after one of the pilots of one of the FA-24A pilots said "the princesses must think they can stand toe to toe with the United States, so today we show them how powerful we are."

"Damn straight, and we aren't even flying the best aircraft the United States can offer, and we aren't even their most elite Squadron" responded another FA-24A pilots.

Apple Jack was finally closing in on the castle, only having to turn a corner and she would only have to travel 16 meters (54 feet) more to get to the castle doors. But once she rounded the corner, she was met with the royal sisters, Cadance, Twilight, and Shining Armor already outside the doors and watching the carnage, which made Apple Jack stop running and slow her pace significantly.

Apple Jack closed the distance between her and the group of 5 and asked "e-excuse me pr-princess, b-but do you know what's happening?"

Celestia looked up at one of the aircraft (FB-90) and sighed, she than looked back at Apple jack and said "I don't know, but I think it might have to do with the rogue guard's attacking them."

Not long after Luna asked "is this retaliation?"

"It could be, they most likely don't know that those guards were rogue. They most likely think we sent them" answered Cadance, spreading her wings and walking forward.

"where are you going Cadance?" Asked Celestia and Luna.

"To get a better look, this day may provide great intelligence for Equestria" responded Cadance.

Cadance jetted into the sky, climbing 14 meters (47 feet) into the air to meet face-to-face with the aircraft (F-35X) and get a better, closer look at it, because she knew it wasn't a living being, but rather a machine with a creature to control it.

The F-35X pilot noticed Cadance and slowed his speed rapidly from 1,643 kilometers an hour (1,021 miles an hour) to a much slower, calmer 1,049 kilometers an hour (652 miles an hour) in the span of 9.5 seconds, which left Cadance awestruck. She had never seen something decrease from such a high speed with what seemed to be little to no stress, she's seen many pegasus decelerate from high speeds, but their wings would stiffen and it would be harder to move their limbs when performing such tasks.

Yet, this machine that was 5 times the size of a pony and was traveling faster, maneuvering better, and dealing with the forces of drag and gravity better than any flying creature in Equestria.

'Is it immune to magic like it's creators?' Questioned Cadance in her mind, her horn being engulfed by a teal aura that glowed brighter each second. "Time for a little experiment than" said Cadance lightly with a devious smile, readying the most powerful projectile spell she knows, known as the energy spear, which was a spell that shot a projectile of pure energy that was as long as a spear at the speed of an arrow. Truly devastating, but would it be devastating enough?

When Cadance fired her projectile, her horn lit up in an extremely bright flash of blue light that engulfed the entirety of her horn for several seconds. The projectile left her horn traveling 324 feet per second (220 miles an hour, or 355 kilometers an hour) and came towards the aircrafts (F-35X) canopy, causing the pilot to flinch and push the throttle to flee the attack. The projectile came straight for the middle of the aircraft's body, though instead of hitting the aircraft or dissipating off the surface of the aircraft, it stopped 3 inches above its body in a flash of bright light, and seemingly bounced off The aircraft and hit the house of an earth pony, setting it ablaze.

"What in the ever loving cockbiscuits just happened!? What the fuck was that!?" Screamed the F-35X pilot, who finally opened his eyes and tilted his head to look towards Cadance, which she had noticed through the slightly orange colored transparent titanium that enclosed the canopy.

"I have no idea, but we've got their attention, so operation 'burning desire' is a go boys, get into positions" ordered the squadron commander.

"Understood!" Screamed each pilot as they started getting into their positions.

Cadance hovered in the air, keeping continues watch of the aircrafts canopy to catch another glimpse of the creature controlling the flying machine. Not long after, Cadance saw her two aunts join by her side with stern expressions on their faces.

"Cadance! What was the meaning of...that!?" Screamed Celestia.

"Yes, thou must have a great reason for attacking the creatures flying machine!" Screamed Luna.

"Auntie I was merely experimenting! I only wanted to know wether or not the creatures machines were immune to magic as well!" responded Cadance, keeping her eyes locked on 3 odd looking aircraft (F/A-37) in particular. To Cadance, the 3 F/A-37's didn't look like the rest of the other 18 aircraft that were alongside it, instead of having either 4 or 2 wings like the rest, it seemed to just glide through the air, tucking their wings in like hawk's and eagles do when they're on the ground, but this machine was flying through the air at incredible speeds as if it possessed an advanced form of magic, which Cadance knew wasn't the case.

"Isn't our word evidence enough!?" Screamed Celestia, who followed up with "do you want them to retaliate and do to Ponyville what they did to commander Honey Bun and captain Frisk Fireflight!?"

After Celestia finished her sentence, Luna said "yes, what you did was most unwise Cadance. These creatures do not take too kindly to being attac-"

BOOM

Luna's, Celestia's, and Cadance's eyes shot open, they looked towards the sea of tree's that was the Everfree, and saw a large bright orange ball that soon showed itself to be fire, not long after they noticed 2 F-15U's flying away from the blaze.

30 seconds before diversion begins

"Okay, I need both F-15U's to ready their napalm charges and drop them on the Everfree Forests, but they need to be 104 meters (342 feet) away from the town so no damage is caused" ordered the squadron commander.

11 seconds later both F-15U's separated from the rest of the 19 other aircraft that made up the rest of the squadron, they armed their munitions while doing so, insuring they would be prepared to carry out the diversion effectively. They soon were upon the Everfree, dropping their munitions on the expansive forest.

BOOM

Once the napalm charges reached the ground, they exploded and set the Everfree ablaze, turning anything living that wasn't 15 meters (50 feet) away into a charred corpse that wouldn't be recognised to have once been a living thing.

Luna stared into the bright orange, red, and yellow mesh that was engulfing the Everfree Forest at an incredible rate, turning once flourishing tree's that stood tall and touched the sky into burning husks of their former selves. She didn't know wether to have expected this response after the rogue groups and Cadance attacked them, or to be furious they would do this.

"Sir, we've dropped our napalm charges! The diversion has officially kicked off!" Said one of the F-15U pilots.

"Okay than, let's contact the encampment so they can start the siege of that prison in Baltimare" responded the commander.

"I'm already on it, you can continue the diversion, I'll be with you in no time" said one of the F/A-37 pilots, who than got on his radio and contacted the encampment and said "this is 'wet division' to encampment over."

[radio] "this is the encampment to 'wet division,' are we clear to move, over?"

"Affirmative, you're clear to raid the prison, we've got the princesses and their subordinates covered here. Godspeed guys" responded the F/A-37 pilot.

[radio] "Understood, and Godspeed to you as well"

After the pilot got off his radio, he started banking his aircraft to his 5 o'clock with its 2D thrust vectoring system, wings still tucked in. joining back into the diversion effort, he positioned the aircraft to face the town so he could enact any orders given to him with the up most speed and precision.

"Okay sir, I've gotten the message out. What are my orders?" Said the F/A-37 pilot.

"I need your squadron to start launching PAC-3's at the opposite side of Canterlot. rain hell!" responded the commander.

"Understood. Okay guys, follow my leed" said the F/A-37 pilots, who's 2 wingman responded with "got it."

He than started banking his aircraft (F/A-37) to his 9 o'clock so he could start flying in Canterlots direction, passing the castle and the mountain it rested on. He accomplished this maneuver in the span of 11 seconds, his wingman joining him 9 seconds after said maneuver was made, they than positioned their aircraft in a V formation as they flew in the opposite direction of Canterlot.

The 3 aircraft continued in the opposite direction of Canterlot traveling 3,244 kilometers an hour (2,016 miles an hour, or mach 2) and flying at a height 64 meters (213 feet) above the 162 meter (534 feet) tall mountain Canterlot rested on. They soon spread their wings to their full length and started banking their aircraft to their 9 o'clock while still being in formation, each aircraft being 2.7 meters (9 feet) away from each other.

It took a total of 7 seconds for the squadron to complete the maneuver, after they completed said maneuver they armed their Lockheed Martin PAC-3 missiles and accelerated to 4,132 kilometers an hour (2,568 miles an hour, or mach 3) towards Canterlot, when they were 4 kilometers (4 miles) away from Canterlot they all opened their missile bay doors and Unleashed half of their munitions in the span of 3 seconds.

Each F/A-37 was able to hold 7 missiles in each rotary missile deployment system, and it had 2 rotary systems for both of its missile bays, and dependent on the rotary cartridge along with the munitions they were using they could hold 28 missiles and deploy half of these missiles (14 missiles) in 3 seconds flat. Which is what they did.

All 14 PAC-3 came straight for the back of the mountain, it took them a total of 5 seconds to reach the hard rock that was on the opposite side of the mountain Canterlot rested on. Once the missiles made contact, they tour chunks off the mountain and sent tree's flying in every possible direction, including Canterlot.

Celestia was the first to notice the massive fireball that engulfed the backside of the mountain, she saw the burning chunks of rock that flew through the air, along with the 3 aircraft that flew through the fireball as well. She soon took notice that those aircraft were the ones that looked like hawk's with their wings tucked in, only now they had their wings spread out too their full length.

This would normally be an absolutely beautiful sight for Celestia to behold, if it weren't for her thinking about how to stop the current chaos and destruction these aircraft were causing, instead of the beauty they possessed. Unfortunately, Celestia couldn't think of any way of solving this problem, wether it be through peaceful negotiations or trying to battle the aircraft, which would both fail miserably. So what could she do?

"you guys in the FA-24A's, I'm going to need you guys to start popping off AIM-80's missiles on the southwestern side of the town, about 50 meters (164 feet) away from those train tracks. Got it?" Said the squadron commander.

The squadron of 5 responded to their commander with either "Understood, right away" or "got it" as they banked their aircraft to their 9 o'clock, arming their AIM-80 ravens as they did so. They approached their targets at the height of 95 meters (314 feet) while going 1,467 kilometers an hour (912 miles an hour). Each aircraft (FA-24A) released 2 missiles from their missile bays, which was able to carry 8 missiles. The 10 missiles jetted towards the right side of the railroad tracks, catching the attention of any ponies inside and outside the train station that was 90 meters (295 feet) away from where the missiles would land.

The ponies could hear the infamous whistle the missile produced, but they couldn't see where said missiles was or where it was headed, that was until they hit the ground on the right side of the railroad. 10 dark clouds rows into the sky, many of them meshing together to make singular clouds of smoke and ash that rose from ever-growing fires that formed near the railroad, aside from the fires the were caused the missiles produced a shockwave powerful enough to knock over some of the train car that housed ponies inside of them, shatter windows on almost every structure in Ponyville, and knock ponies of their hooves. Luckily no pony was seriously hurt or injured, but the memories would most likely stay forever.

The terrified screams and shrieks of ponies all around Ponyville could be heard, though to the princesses dismay this would go on for 5 more agonizing minutes, and they were powerless to stop it, so they would have to wait for all 21 aircraft to exhaust their munitions.

Location: Equestria, approaching baltimare prison
Time: 10 days later
Perspective: Flash Sentry, queen Chrysalis, gunnery sergeant Nathan Reeds, Lt Tristan Summers, WHA-91 pilot Nicholas Diaz, many more

[radio] "Affirmative, you're clear to raid the prison, we've got the princesses and their subordinates covered here. Godspeed guys."

"Understood, and Godspeed to you as well" responded Nathan, who than turned to Tristan and nodded his head in an approving manner.

Tristan nodded back, than walked into Nicholas's WHA-91 screech owl and entered the helicopter, approaching a little green box that contained a powerful computer that had the ability to accurately locate, communicate, and inform entire army's about an area that spans 1,333 square kilometers (515 square miles) through their headsets and HUD's. the computer becomes more powerful and accurate when connected to an entire network of aircraft, armoured vehicles, and ground troops with equipment that had the ability to transmit exact data about the specific area they were in, which gave an entire U.S. fighting force an upper hand on the battlefield. It was some pretty fancy stuff.

Though Tristan was only going to use it to communicate with the 10,000 U.S. troops in the area, "all personal, armoured vehicles, and aircraft pilots the second part of operation 'burning desire' has got the green light from diversion group 'wet division.' We need to move now before the diversion ends, so move, move, move!"

Seconds later Marines and Army troops quickly dawned various R-class, X-class, and V-class exo-suit's and started running to either Humvees, Strykers, Mantis HPTV-HC's, Ford F150's, Ram 1500's, Terrier Heavy Armoured personal carrairs, and many other light armoured troop transport vehicles.

As the troops readied themselves, every MBT (main battle tank) and KFV (Infentry fighting vehicle) positioned themselves in front of the light armoured troop transport vehicles, those MBT's being the M1A2 sep V4's, M6A1 Crusaders, M12A1 Goliath heavy tanks, Centaur 3's, and M5 Ripsaw's along with the various CFV's, the some of which were the M3A3 Bradley CFV's, ACT MPAV's and M150 Zealot's.

But these weren't the only vehicles they would be using, they would be using a mixture of helicopters as well, such as the WHA-91's, 360-Invictus's, AH-24B Fennechawk's, MH-65 Black Foots, XHR-265 Ghosts, and XHR-276's to provide cover from anything that try's to attack from the skies. This was a true force to be reckoned with, having the ability to takeover a large town back on earth, and they were all interconnected via computer, meaning they would be informed about the entire battlefield from various other platforms.

3 minutes of preparation later, everyone's perspective

"Okay everyone, let's move" commanded Nathan as the helicopters (WHA-91) rotor blades started spinning, lifting the stealth helicopter off the ground in approximately 30 seconds along with the other 200 or so rotor aircraft that are participating in the raid.

Chrysalis and Flash watched the armoured vehicles in awe as they departed into the forest, knowing full well how dangerous they can be, even the smallest of armoured vehicles were able to knock over tree's as they moved. They somewhat reminded chrysalis of her changeling guard's marching forward, the only difference being the capabilities these vehicles had, and their ability too change the tide of battle. Though for Flash, they signified the change and shift of power on Equus, and not just for the Equestrian empire, but for every empire on the planet.

For 20 or so minutes the helicopters, tanks, IFV's, and light armoured vehicles continued towards the prison, crossing mile after mile in quick succession to get the jump on the prison guards, especially since the diversion ended more than 14 minutes ago.

"Hey Flash, you want too stay in here? Shits about to get real" said Nicholas while piloting the helicopter, who had Flash on the seat next to him.

"Please, I know how brutal your tactics can be" answered Flash, drooping his ears and putting his head down in what seemed like shame. Nicholas took notice of this, he than started petting Flash on the head with his right arm gently and said "hey man, it's okay to be scared, to be scared is the ultimate sign of bravery."

"Ho-how?" Asked Flash, his ears jetting back into their normal position.

"Well, because you're aware of the dangers coming, and yet you still stand tall no matter what comes your way. You know what here's an example, when we first met you, you came walking through the forest, you were obviously scared right?" Said Nicholas.

"Yeah" answered Flash, sheepishly.

"And yet, you still came to tell us about the injustices despite the dangers we pose, along with the princesses possibly finding out. That's pretty brave" said Nicholas, giving Flash a look that only a loving father could give, which made Flash smile.

[radio] "be advised, we're approaching the prison, ETA 1 minutes for ground and air forces"

Nicholas and Flash than looked at each other, than back at the helicopters cockpit windows, only to spot the prison with guard's on the walls of the prison either staring in awe and amazement, readying their spears and bow and arrows, or running to man ballista's or catapults.

Nathan took notice of this and went to their computerized radio, "be advised their are several anti-personal weapons on the walls of the prison, I'm going to need some attack choppers to take those guys out now."

5 seconds later 2 360-Invictus's started accelerating faster and broke away from the main group, they flew towards the prison with their heartbeat sensers tracking anything with a pulse. Surprisingly the guard's that inhabited the prison had such a thing, at least for now.

"I'm tracking more than 40 hostiles, do I engage?" Asked the 360-Invictus pilot.

"You have permission to engage, take em out" responded Nathan.

Not a second passed as the Invictus's 3 barrel 20mm main gun started to spool, increasing the turn rate of the gun until it was ready to put armor piercing high explosive bullets down range. The rounds exited the barrel at a speed of 3,380 feet per second (2,304 miles an hour, 3,708 kilometers an hour), either turning royal guard's into red mist, or ripping them apart and scattering their body parts around a 10 foot radius because of the explosive filling, the bullets hit the stone and of the walls and instantly plowed through them as if it was heated butter ,laying waist to anything that was inside.

Several bat-pony guard's caught wind of what was happening and lifted into the sky, when they were at a sufficient height they saw the 2 attack helicopters firing upon royal solar and lunar guards, as Well as the ballistic weapons that were set atop the prison walls, wasting no time those guards jetted towards the 2 helicopters only to see several other helicopters (MH-65's) show their left side, doors sliding open to show either marines or army troops manning mounted weapons, to be specific the six-barreled M123 GAU-17 Gatling gun that fires armor piercing incendiary 7.62x51mm NATO rounds at a speed of 2,000 rounds a minute. Truly devastating, very devastating actually.

The bat-pony guard's didn't have enough time to react to the onslaught of bullets coming towards them, and to be frank they didn't even see it coming until it was to late. One guard was hit by 3 bullets, one piercing his right wing, ripping it completely off, while the other two went through his chest like a crackhead jumping through a thin window on a Saturday night at 3:36AM. As one of the bullets went through the guard's chest it bored through and ripped a peace of his left lung off and carried it through his body until it reached the small intestine, where the bullet made a sudden change of course and jetted straight up and exited through his back, but much like the bullet that ripped his wing off it didn't ignite, the same couldn't be said for the last one which went straight through his right lung, coming in contact with his ribs and ignited, practically turning the guard into a firework. If you consider a fire ball to be a firework...

One by one each guard that took to the skies was taken out, either being pummeled by 7.62x51mm NATO from the helicopters, or being obliterated by M5 Ripsaw's firing their 30mm armor piercing incendiary tracers from their MK44 Bushmaster II main cannons as Marine and Army troops stormed the prison.

The raid on the prison would last 34 minutes, and lead to the loss of 941 guard's, and the rescuing of 1,503 changeling's, which were subsequently loaded on Nimbus Transport Zeppelin's and taken to the United States. For the Equestrian empire on this day, the world stood still.
