The Equestrian War: Human Support?

While Mark was travelling to canterlot by VIA: chariot. He was scared shitless.

"WHY DOSENT THIS THING HAVE SEAT BELT!?!?!?"

"Oh Don't be a baby. if you do fall out Me or My sister will catch you" Luna says

"IF YOU SAY SO!" Screaming while hugging Celestia like he was about to die. Celestia and Luna were both giggling at his panic.

Meanwhile, Mark calms down for once and decided to look out the window of the chariot. The View was Breathtaking. The grass was well green, you can see everything. but unfortunately, he saw the front line of the war.

"Hey princess?"

"hmm?" Celestia Answers

"What kind of strategies do you use?"

"Oh uhh... Trench warfare is new."

Mark gave the are you kidding me look.

"Are you joking?"

"No, I'm not joking. It's the best strategy we have currently." Celestia Proudly said.

"well...That strategy is well outdated for me..."

...

...

"WHAT?!?!" Luna overheard the conversation.

"Yeah, almost 80 years outdated..."

"80 YEARS?!?!?" Luna was practically wide mouth.

"Yeah... That Strategy was used in the First World War..."

"Wait... WORLD WAR?!?!?" Celestia questioned.

"hang on... so if that's the First World War oh Faust..." Luna Thought.

Luna went pale as a ghost and frozen in shock. Celestia saw this and asked.

"Sister is there something wrong?"

"Y..y..yes THEY HAVE BEEN IN MULTIPLE WORLD WARS!" Luna says in shock.

...
...
...

"MULTIPLE WORLD WARS?!?!?" Celestia practicality screamed.

"yeah, multiple world wars Princesses. So my species perfected war in the past 1000 years... now we call it "The Art Of War"

"They both looked as pale as a ghost"

"Yeah, I also forgot I left a perfectly "safe" war machine in the everfree..."

no answers. The rest of the flight towards canterlot was quiet. Once they got there the princesses brought mark towards his room. they bid their goodnights and left still pale.

Mark was amazed at the architecture and design that this building has. he also thought how physically impossible that a castle is built into the side of a mountain. He decided not to think about the laws of physics and castle and went to change in his uniform and placed his ghillie suits in the nearby draws. He also took his M107 Out and assembled it, After at least 1 hour he finally assembled it. he was incredibly tired. He made a plan to ask one of Celestia's scientist so he could produce some diesel for his tank. He went to bed with his pistol under the pillow cause he is one paranoid FUCK.

Dream Realm

Mark was back home on earth. He knew that he was dreaming cause he is always on alert if something has changed or not, or he's a lucid dreamer. Mark felt a disturbance in his dream.

"Is anyone here?"

"How did you know I was here?" Luna said coming Out of nowhere.

"Are you even real?"

"Yes, I am. I'm not the figure of your imagination," Luna says

"anyways why is there nothing here?" Luna questions

"You know I'm a lucid dreamer."

"You are?" Luna asked

"Yes, Yes I am, I could show you around my homeworld if you want?"

"Sure." Luna accepts.

The scenery changes to Berlin. Cars and people doing their things.

"What are these... Carriages?" Luna asked.

"Oh... those are not carriages Luna. those are Cars. Cars are another thing humans make to move around and about without anything pulling it so for your term it's a self-moving carriage."

"Interesting." She says.

"I can also show you my militaries technology."

"I'm also interested in your militaries technology," Luna asked.

"Okay then."

The scene changes again to a military base somewhere in Germany. The location he is at is a hanger filled with Leopards. He and Luna went inside.

"What is this contraption?" Luna asked in wonder.

"This my friend is the war machine I left in the Everfree."

"Pffft... That's not a war machine! It's just a box with a metal tube on it." Luna exclaimed.

Mark gave her the "Or really?" smirk. The scenery changes again but this time he was in the leopard. Luna, on the other hand, was floating above the moving tank. The turret of the tank was aiming at and afghan T55-A. Luna was confused at why the top of the box was moving and the tube was directly aiming at the other moving box. Until.

BANG!!

Luna instantly got frightened from the deafening sound of that blast she also realised that the other box got decimated. she was in absolute shock. Mark pulled her into the tank and started to explain things.

"you know me and my crewmates just killed four to five people just now?"

"you mean THIS thing can kill FIVE or MORE beings?!?!" Luna questions in shock.

"yes, yes it can, There are different types of these boxes you call. most of them have multiple beings inside to control them, mostly 3-5 beings are in these things."

Luna was in shock. The surrounding area was starting to fade.

"Well, its time for me to wake up. I will see you at breakfast Luna."

after that said I work up.

Location: Canterlot Castle
Current Date and time 18th July 1008 ANM (06:30H)

Mark woke in a soft bed and thought to the dream last night.

Well that dream went well. Luna was so shocked that my "BOXES" can kill a lot...

I was still dressed in my commanders uniform and decided to get ready. I went to the bathroom, Everything was there including new toothbrush and toothpaste. While brushing my teeth I heard knocking at the door. I spat out the content of paste and washed it out with water. I got to the main room and opened the door. outside was a guard.

"Sir, You have breakfast with the princess." He says.

I nod. "You are relieved of duty for now just lead me towards the dining area."

He nods

"Wait forgot something in my room."

I went back to pick up my Pistol and armour plate and vest. I equipped the vest underneath my uniform.

"now I'm ready."

along the way, I bumped into a pony by mistake.

"Sorry, Sir for pushing you."

the pony looked pissed.

"WHO LET THIS HAIRLESS MONKEY OUT I WANT HIM ARRESTED!"

"Sir it was a mistake you know?"

"DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO ME LIKE THAT, IM PRINCE BLUE BLOOD YOU MONKEY!"

Oh god its a SNOB I have to deal with hopefully he's not related to Celestia or anyone in particular.

"Well, sir I'm going to breakfast so good day."

Then just left him there and continued towards the royal dining hall.

I got there on time and opened the doors that lead inside. I saw Celestia sitting on one end and Luna on the other. There were Three other seats one by its self I presume its for me. the other two I believe is for the snobby "PRINCE" and another royal. Celestia and Luna greeted me. I greeted them back. once I was in my seat another alicorn appeared she was Pink and had Purple, Red, Yellow mane. she took the seat near Luna. Then finally the "Prince" Arrived.

"AUNTY A HAIRLESS MONKEY JUST INSULTED ME!" Blueblood takes his seat realizing that the "Hairless Monkey" was in front of him.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE YOU ANIMAL!" He screamed.

"Sir I was invited by the Princesses."

"AUNTY CAN YOU SEND HIM TO THE DUNGEONS!" he complained.

"Sorry Blueblood he's our guess," Luna Stated with slight venom in her voice.

"But Aunty he pushed me!" he complained like a little child.

Luna and Celestia were getting pissed. So I decided to step in.

"You Know what you FUCKING SPOILED SON OF A BITCH! YOU HAVE TO LEARN THAT YOU CAN'T GET ANYTHING YOU WANT!"

I yelled at him he was even more pissed.

"YOU PATHETIC MONKEY I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DULE!!" he challenged me.

"BIG MISTAKE BUDDY!"

That's when he stormed out the room. Celestia was worried about me while Luna had that Devilish Smirk. on the other hand, The pink pony had to watch that in shock.

She said. "Never in my life I've seen anypony besides Aunt Luna & Celestia, scold Blueblood ever..."

Meanwhile, Luna was having the best moment of her life by watching that she burst out in laughter.

"OHHAHAHAHA!! IVEHAHAHAHA!" She continued to laugh. until she calmed down a bit

"HA... IVE NEVER SEEN HIM THAT MAD!" Luna finally says after laughing.

Celestia was worried about me and the duel with Blueblood.

"Sister, do you think that Blueblood might win?" Celestia said in worry

"No sister Hendrick's will win," Luna says already knowing "Hendricks" Marks Capabilities.

"i don't know sister he is magicless and kinda looks weak." Celestia asummed

"nonsense sister," Luna stated

While the sisters are debating who is going to win Mark Decided to talk to the pink alicorn

"Hi there, I'm Hendricks what's your name?"

"Oh... sorry just zoned out. anyways My name is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza or Princess Cadence to most ponys."

"oh, so your name is I love Cadence?"

"How did you know?" she asked

"Took some Italiana classes."

After some small talk waiters carrying plates with food came in. Celestia has Pancakes with some fruit, Luna Had some Bacon? & Eggs on toast. "Strange never thought ponys were omnivores" Cadance has a garden salad with some sort of dressing. meanwhile, I had Waffles with Belgian chocolate sauce with OJ on the side.

"So... Celestia do you have a scientist that I can borrow?"

Celestia Raised a Brow. "why do you need a scientist?"

"I need a source of fuel for my wa... uhh... machine a self-moving machine yeah..."

Luna knows what he's talking about and shifts uncomfortably and laughs nervously.

"ha ha ha... Yeah, I think you should give him a scientist." Luna says nervously.

Celestia looks at her confused at why she is nervous all a sudden but shrugs it off.

"Oh, and also do you have a military career that can join?"

"yes, I do, you can stay as captain in the royal guards," Celestia says while writing a letter to the guard's post for Marks enrollment.

"also if you stay as captain I have to make a ceremony so you can be a captain," Celestia informed him

"oh just like home. when you become captain you have to attend a ceremony to be a captain."

(Technically not how it works I think?)

"also twilight can be your scientist," she told me.

"Okay good to know."

After breakfast, Luna went to sleep while Celestia tended Day Court while missing her horn she continued. meanwhile, I was being escorted to the guard's post but "coincidentally" Pushed Blueblood again.

"YOU! YOU PATHETIC MONKEY YOU WILL REGRET ACCEPTING MY DUEL!!"

"Okay, what day, location & time?" I asked calmly.

"MEET ME AT THE STADIUM AT 12:00 PM TOMORROW!" He yelled.

"sure." then left towards the guard's barracks. while I was there Guard's are looking at me funny. I paid no attention to them. I opened the door at the office and saw a pony sitting down like he was waiting for me.

"is your name, Hendrick Schwarz?" The white pony says.

"Yes, Sir."

"So you are enrolling to be captain?"

"Yes, Sir"

"Do you have any skills that may help the guards?"

"Yes, Sir. Permission to speak freely?"

"granted."

"first of what's your name, Captain."

"Its Captain Shining Armour."

"By the way, your strategies are outdated and so are your weapons" I immediately stated.

"Our Weapons are fine they are state of the art modern Equestrian technology!"

"Swords, Bows, Catapults?!?!" In my country that's WAY outdated, like 500 Years outdated."

"OR REALLY!" Shining Armour yells.

"Yes, it is sir. I've got Weapons on my world that can level cities in a single blow! I've also got weapons that can kill from 500M Away! I can show them!"

"Go ahead Monkey see if you can hit a target at a 1000M HAHAHAHA!" Shining armour laughs. but became serous.

"the furthest that a weapon can kill a Pony is from 350M and that's Griffin's Rifle we had tested it's physically not possible," he stated.

"Okay, then I will bring the princesses and also bring all your guards so I can demonstrate. I will place a bet on my tank!"

"sure thing Recruit!" he smirks

after that ordeal went to grab both princesses first Celestia and then Luna. after grabbing them I went to get my M107 (partly dismantled enough to fit in a rucksack) with 3 Mags and took it to the training grounds.

Picture of an M107 Barret. [VERY ICONIC]

I made my way towards the shooting/Archers range. all guards were waiting patiently for my demonstration. Shining Armour, on the other Hoof, got one of his best archers with a... Kar98? Looks crudely made and possibly not rifled. Shining Armour had a smirk while The princesses were watching the demonstration.

The archer went up and aimed the rifle at a target 300M downrange. He took a breath and BANG!

The archer manages to hit his target with only iron sights. he stood there proud of himself ponys stomping/clapping for him.

"HA! Try to beat that?" he says being very cocky.

I smirked.

"Don't get too cocky. By the way, set the target 850M away princess." I asked Luna

she nods and teleported a target approximately 850M.

On the other hand, Shining Armour was laughing his ass off.

"Y-You think you can hit that? BWHAHAHAHA!"

I still had that dirty smirk.

I opened my rucksack with my rifle. took the first part and placed on the table. everypony looked at the stock in confusion to why that it's big. then I bought the front and receiver and attached it to the stock. now everypony was getting the idea of the shape. then the FUCKING big barrel with sexy muzzle brake. They were shocked at how big the barrel of this rifle is. now Shining Armour Looked at it in shock also the princesses were shocked at the sheer size of it.

"The B-Bullet can't be that big can it?" Asked a Guard.

I smirked at him and pulled out a 50.BMG

Everyponys Jaws Dropped. Shining Armor instead he snickered.

"It won't fly far due to how big it is!" He says.

"Yeah it won't fly far it would be too heavy!" a guard stated.

I still didn't answer and placed the bullet into the magazine. The scope was already attached so I don't have to range it in. I went to load my gun magazine in and then cocking the gun. (Insert SEXY BARRET COCKING SOUND HERE)

I had a Braingasim again... I aimed and took the safety off. I steady my aim and PAKRACK!

The sheer sound and shock wave formed made the guards and princess jump out of fright. Then a distant TING! Could be heard. a singular guard with a binocular had dropped his binoculars out of shock with jaws down to the ground. But I saw a moving target down 1300M.

"Uhh, Princess I found a Griffin scout Down Range 1300M Permission to engage?"

Both Princesses were still in shock but heard Griffin and 1300M.

"Granted." Both said at the same time.

Now guards are watching with binoculars and spotted the Griffin with his rifle and binos. I took aim and steady the shot.

PAKRACK!

Ponys Watching through the binos including the princesses saw the Griffin immediately getting his head annihilated. all were shocked at the damage.

"Now can I Be accepted as captain?"

Shining Armour nods dumbly.

"Well, that concludes the demonstration," I announced while packing up my rifle and putting it into my bag.

"Oh, I also forgot to say I'm having a duel with Blueblood at 12:00H at the stadium if anypony wants to see him demolished meet at the stadium tell everyone about it!" I informed everypony.

walking back to my room to have some rest but was called for lunch with Celestia, Luna went back to sleep, and Cadance had things to do. no BlueBalls as well. now walking back towards the royal dining hall, I was greeted by guards saluting at me.

"At ease Soldiers"

They nod and let me inside. Celestia greets me and I returned the gesture. once I got into my seat, Celestia asked me on what I eat.

"Hey, Hendrick what do you eat?"

"Uhh... how should I say this I both eat meat and plants..."

"oh, so you are an omnivore?" She asked.

"yes, I am. But may I ask why Luna Ate bacon?"

"oh, that's not regular bacon. you see its called "hay bacon" the name says it." she answers.

"oh... But I thought you would freak out on me?"

"no no nothing like that. pegasi and alicorns eat fish so we only have fish as a source of meat. is that fine?" She asks

"Yeah, it's fine. I also have the food that I brought."

"Okay, then I will order fish for you," Celestia says while calling a waiter over.

while food is being cooked Mark and Celestia were small talking.

"Celestia. I want to be sent in the front lines but need equipment like ammunition. Can you produce some?"

"Wait you want to be sent into the front lines?" She asks

"Yes, I do. I want to help this country win. the only reason why I'm here cause well... I died..."

"Wait you died?" she asked me.

"Yes I did but your mother resurrected me. She asked me to help you win the war and I accept cause I'm technically the most advance being on this planet so yeah..."

"I also need a scientist ASAP."

"Why do you keep asking about a scientist?" Celestia questioned.

"well, you know that war machine I'm talking about when I was about to arrive at Canterlot."

She nods.

"I Need fuel for it. It ran out while I was going across the Everfree and I've hidden it."

"What kind of fuel does it run on? Coal? Steam? Magic?" she asked.

"none of that. it runs on Diesel or in simple terms distilled oil."

"We have oil in the badlands being produced, but nopony besides the Griffins buy them," Celestia informed.

~~OGIE BOGIE THE AMERICANS ARE COMING!~~

"hey Celestia you know your horn can grow back it's not permanent. you still have the base of it. it regrows if time is taken or you will have to get a synthetic one."

"Everypony knows what happens to a horn when broken off. you lose the ability to use magic..." she said with a sad sigh.

"you know I wonder what happened to Mark after he saved me."

"I owe him my life you know?" Celestia said

Mark went a bit redfaced at the gratitude Celestia is giving him.

"I-I don't know him. How is he and what do you think of him?"

"I don't know how he's doing hopefully well. I considered him a good friend... well that's an understatement considering he saved my life and bringing me back to equestrian borders but I also want to know him more," she stated.

I was about to reply but food just happens to arrive. Celestia's lunch was a garden salad with cake on the side. while I got Asian food basically, Salmon on rice with some sauce and water on the side. while eating I noticed that the sauce used in this tasted awfully like teriyaki.

"Celestia, what sauce is this?"

"Its teriyaki. why don't you like it?" she asked

"no, it's not that I don't like it its just things you have are from my world, gives me a sense of familiarity."

"makes sense," she says and then continued to eat.

After eating me and Celestia was still talking.

"Celestia do you have any oil I can use to make a test batch of diesel?"

"We should have around seven barrels of oil 50L in storage," she replied.

"Can I use two?"

"you are going to make 100L of diesel aren't you?" She asked.

"you lose some during the distilling process. I will approximately get 70-85L of Diesel."

(Don't know the exact amount of volume loss occurs during oil distillation)

"makes sense, we never used oil before," she states.

"well, I must head back to Day Court. I will see you soon Hendrick?"

"yes, you will see me sooner or later. I'm off to do some diesel makin."

after I and Celestia parted asked a guard to show me where the storage in the castle is at.

Meanwhile in the Griffin Empire.
17th July.

Pov:3rd person

The assassin that killed Black Beaks Brother didn't even get assigned as a general of an army. he was baited to kill his king just for being a general of an army that never exists. Black Beak, on the other hand? (IDEK), is Hand drawing his first prototype tank called "Armoured Wagon Mk.I" it was basic as a tank can get... four wheels a gun, slight armour and moves by its self. "Its a start to Equestria's fall" He continued to design a tank for hours and found a design he likes. named "MK.1 Heavy tank." Basic turreted and tracked heavy tank with a 75mm gun. He just needs a company that builds things. "great I now need to produce a working prototype then send it off to a factory."

it was midday and Black Beak and his team of engineers started its hull. while the rest starts on an Inline 4 diesel engine. while the engine was being planned they decided to add two more cylinders and make an Inline 6 instead.
