Prologue

Equestria

It had been 3 years after Twilight and her friends defeated Tirek and Twilight ascending to alicorn status. The grudge the griffins had after losing to the Equestrians over a thousand years ago caused them to declare and wage war. The first attacks on Equestrian soil were at Baltamare and Trottingham but also at sea due to the griffins using their new dreadnought class warships. Equestria now hangs in the balance as they are losing the war as to losing much of their resources from battling Tirek.

Manehattan

A tall alabaster alicorn with a flowing rainbow mane stood next to another alicorn that was navy blue in color with a darker shade blue flowing mane that was almost a dark purple. The alabaster alicorn spoke “Lulu do you really think we can win this war with the new ships? We’ve been getting reports of the griffins using new ships that they have constructed in secrecy”

The alicorn in question spoke after a moment of silence “Fret not Tia we are certain that we will end this accursed war brought on by hatred from the griffins”

The alicorn sisters were in Manehattan launching a new warship classified as E.N.S-TL3 (Equestrian. Naval. Ship-Third Line Up) they were wooden gallows with twelve 2” muzzle-loaded cannons 6 on each side and twenty 3” Cannons also muzzle-loaded. Three out of the 20 were made. the first called “R.M.S PonyVille”, Second “R.M.S Fillydelphia '', and third “R.M.S Canterlot”. These warships were upgraded more than the “normal” warships that they had, Their upgrades consisted of improved magic shielding and increased ship detection range, They were the prime flagships of the Equestrian fleet. The christening ceremony was about to begin for the new line of ships. The Mayor of Manehatten recited the poem for the christening of the ships.

“Dear Faust almighty, we want thee to protect these three ships in return of protection to our kind, Stallions & Mares put sweat and smear blood on these three ships working effortlessly through day and night. I Honor Faust with these three ships, R.M.S Ponyville, R.M.S Fillydelphia, and R.M.S Canterlot!”

As the mayor said the final words The Princesses cut the rope that had three bottles aimed for each ship fly towards them shattering them. The crowd cheered as the three ships had been christened and now being launched into the waters. As the ship collided with the water, The captains and crew members of each ship got ready to board their corresponding ship and prepared for launch.

Princess Celestia was hoping that this line of new ships could turn the tide of war. ”Hopefully we could win this war faster with this new ship…” She thought, seeing the ship disembark the dock to war.

Princess Luna looked at her sister and spoke after hearing her sisters thoughts “Tia we are certain that these warships will help us win the war faster, thou needs to hath more faith in our military ingenuity”

Princess Celestia only sighed hoping that these upgrades will help her ponies in stopping the war. Suddenly a spike in trans-dimensional teleportation magic caught the royal sisters off guard and looked at each other with worried expressions adorning their facial features.

Princess Luna spoke “That spike came from the northern equestrian ocean”

Princess Celestia nodded and said “I’ll send a letter to Twilight warning her about this and to go investigate with her friends” and with that said she conjured up a scroll and quill and wrote the letter sending it to Twilight once she completed the letter.

Somewhere on the South Celestial Sea.

The Griffins, half lion and half eagle, were superior in land, naval, and air combat. Their ships are a weirder looking Dreadnought class ships with two twin 6” gun turrets at the front and one in the rear. It also had secondary cannons around six 6 pounders three on each side. The armor on the thing was about 3” or about 76.2mm.

These ships were causing all kinds of chaos for the ponies, none of which saw combat in the last thousand years after the Crystal Empires fell. Most ponies are either blown to shreds leaving straight-up gore intestines limbs brain matter.

The last generation E.N.S-LT2 were normally fighting with these behemoths.

“SIR!, A DROTNOT CLASS IRON CLAW SPOTTED ABEAM TO STARBOARD.” a pony sailor reported.

The captain made an instant decision to retreat “WE NEED TO GO NOW!” He commanded. The crew complies and sets the sails up higher to catch more air.

In doing so the Battleship Iron claw saw the stupid white sails making that ship a beacon saying “HEY OVER HERE!”. The Iron Claw made a swift move, turning Port as quickly as it could, aiming all six cannons at the poor obsolete gallows.

“FIRE THE MAIN BATTERIES!” The Griffin captain yelled the order though the three turret pipes. Complying with his order the batteries fired creating a shock wave in the water and slightly rocking the ship.

As the 6 high explosive rounds fly through the air and smashing into the wood shattering and splintering the wood then exploding. Screams of pain and terror could be heard. one round hit’s a bunch of barrels full of black powder igniting them and setting the whole ship ablaze.

Most ponies abandoned ship and tried to find something to float on, most drowned while some floated on debris. However, the survivors were not lucky whatsoever, as soon as the ship was below the water. The crew of the Iron Claw or any other griffin ship would not leave any survivors at all.

Two ponies are now floating thinking that they survived a horrible nightmare or something close to that.

“I Can’t believe we survived that.” survivor one said

“Yeah...I was…”

*BANG!*

Survivor two was shot in the head killing him instantly. “NOOO!” Survivor one yells as his friend’s body goes beneath the seawater.

“YOU MONSTER!” He yelled at the Griffin Captain, however, he had a devious smile.

“Well... Well... look what we have here… A Pony crying for help” He Laughed

The pony only spat at the Captain achieving nothing but making him angry.

“YOU DUMB PIECE OF SHIT!” He yelled

*BANG!*

EARTH:1944

World War II was at an all-time high in the Pacific theatre, the American fleet was steamrolling through island after island in their island-hopping campaign, though needless to say the Japanese forces were putting up a brutal fight. The ships of the American fleet were providing main battery “artillery” support to the marines onshore while also dealing with the Japanese fleet. One of “said” ships that were dealing with the Japanese fleet was U.S.S Iowa or classified as BB-61. Captain John Davidson the one in charge of Iowa and her crew.

(POV: John)

“Fire the main batteries!” I barked the order just as a Japanese Cruiser came into range. The entire ship rocked as her Mk.17 16” (406mm) main guns roared to life, sending all 9 shells into the poor Cruiser, blowing up the powder magazine and sending the ship up in flames and pieces. “Another ship sunk and a hell of a lot more to sink” I spoke after regaining my footing

“Destroyer port side bearing 270!” a young sailor yelled.

“Open up the secondaries and do not let that bitch get anywhere near!” I shouted the command. The secondaries opened fire raining shells at the small destroyer igniting some powder magazines in the front. The turret on that poor thing combusted, burning, and charring the crew that was held in that turret, a chain reaction started from a small fire to a big explosion. The sailors around me cheered at the destruction of the destroyer.

“Radio operator get me in touch with the ground team” I said and the sailor nodded and went to contact the commander of the assault team on the island.

“Iowa this is the assault team commander we are almost done here” A low and rough voice sounded through the radio.

“Good, because the Japs are getting real desperate right now, they just now started kamikaze attacks on our Cruisers and Destroyers”

“General MacArthur wants us to hold the island while you and a few Cruisers and destroyers head back to Pearl Harbor and pick up reinforcements” The ground commander said.

“Understood Godspeed” I spoke before I cut the line. “Alright listen up sailors we are heading back to Pearl Harbor to gather reinforcements so head starboard and set to cruising speed I’ll be in my quarters” After I gave the orders I headed below the conning tower and to my quarters for a nap.

A large storm was building up to the East of the U.S.S Iowa and heading directly for her.

The U.S.S Iowa was now in the epicentre of the storm, the destroyers, and cruisers that were watching the U.S.S Iowa head into some mist. Thinking that the ship was going to go through but instead disappeared.

The crew of each ship was left confused about where that huge monster went.

“Sir, Iowa has disappeared off the radar…” The radar operator announced.

Ponyville: Castle of Friendship

A lavender alicorn with a two-tone purple mane and tail rested on a cushion in the library section of the castle reading a book on spells left behind by her idol StarSwirl The Bearded was none other than the Princess of Friendship: Twilight Sparkle.

Spike, A purple and light green dragon and her number one assistant, who was across from her snacking on gemstones belched out a scroll sent from Princess Celestia “Twilight you got a letter from Princess Celestia and judging by the ribbon it seems urgent”

Princess Twilight took the scroll in her magic and levitated it over to her and read the letter

Dear fellow Princess Twilight,

There has been a strong trans-dimensional teleportation magic discharge in the Northern Equestrian Ocean, I want you to gather your friends and head to the beach near Trottingham to investigate, stay safe please more so when the Griffins are out there.
P.S I have already sent a chariot to come pick you all up in 4 hours

Princess Twilight looked up at Spike “Spike gather the girls and tell them to come here and that it is urgent so please make haste”

Spike saluted “On it Twilight” with that being said he ran out of the room and headed to gather the rest of the girls.

Northern Equestrian Ocean

A large storm appeared with swirling blue magic crackling throughout the clouds. The Iowa emerged from the cloud wall with a very much confused looking crew.

A crew member broke the silence “Where in sam fucking hell are we?”
