Private Arctic Storm- 1st Marine Division.

June 6th it's a hot 99 degrees out and there out on the open ocean but under deck but the Anti-Air ponies are sweating up a storm and that's not adding with the life jacket and helmet there wearing to stand in the open and stair at the skies to look for enemy aircraft.

The Southern Equestrian Front been secured where all enemy forces either dead or surrendered mostly dead where the female soldiers were the ones who most likely surrender then fight to the death where they think that if they surrender they'll be treated better then breed 24/7 and they were treated better over there few stallion/male counterpart.

The Zebra's joined the war and it was bad news that they joined Equestria where now the Axis have to fight the Zebra's as well but there propaganda calls the Zebras "stupid, unintelligent, weak,sloppy,uneducated and unfit to breed with." to name a few on what there propaganda calls the Zebra's calling them stupid and shouldn't be bred with.

On a LST/Landing Ship Tank (Large Slow Target) Private Arctic was reading a "Playboy" style magazine where the marine ponies were told to embark on there landing crafts so he grabbed his rifle and headed down to the LVT but he steadied his breathing then he heard a loud noise where the LST is opening it's hatch where he seen a bright flashing light and the LVT rolled out where there's about 12-15 other LVT's also some amphibious tanks with ponies but some of the ships and marines came from Farsai to support there Equestrian brother's and sister's in arms to fight for a common goal and that is to bring in world peace and get payback for calling them dumb and shouldn't be bred with.

Some Ponies there happy to breed with Zebra's and vice versa of a Pony stallion knocking up a mare Zebra isn't uncommon and a stallion Zebra knocking up a mare Pony isn't uncommon either due to both Equestria and Farsai have rules to let there own to emigrate to each other either for work, tourism, transient, & work but they'll need there government issued passports to actually visit.

Friendly planes flew overhead where for the past 2 days the Equestrian Navy been bombarding the island for the past 124 hours or 5 days and 16 hours where he heard sailors that it's more cratered then the moon and no creature should be alive after that where they bombarded the island with where there's 12 battleships with 3x12 16 inch/50 caliber heavy artillery guns on the battleships, 8 heavy cruisers with 8 inch/50 caliber heavy artillery on the heavy cruisers, 5 16 twin 5 inch/50 caliber guns on the light cruisers and sides of battleships, 14 5 inch/38 single or twin duel purpose artillery guns from destroyers.

That's not adding bombs and rockets from the air force and rockets from LSMR/ Landing Ship Medium Rocket ships which they as recon reported bombarded every square inch of the island from the sand to the air strip where it'll be a cake walk.

The moment the pony and zebra's disembarked from the LVT's and went over a small incline they gotten shot at by hidden enemies where he took cover but soon enemy artillery rained down on there position where he said "Emptied or deserted my ass were nothing but fuckin' ponies in a barrel." he said mumbling to himself that the island isn't empty or deserted even after several days of naval and Ariel bombardment the enemy is still there.

He seen a flamethrower Zebracorn (zebra that's part unicorn) with a flamethrower use the flamethrower and burn out a small ditch with cover over it and burned out the machine gunner and spotter/loader but a bullet hit the flamethrower tank causing it to explode where the zebracorn galloped around on fire where the flamethrower was filled with gelitinized gas which is also called "Napalm" but she ran around screaming on fire as the napalm burned her fur and skin off like nothing.

Soon friendly tanks came but they were able to get past the machine guns when the machine gun bunkers gotten destroyed by rockets from the LSMR's so they continued but were ordered to let them die with pain but they placed the mare one's out of misery where they did.

They showed more sympathy to the mares over the stallions but they all hit the deck when another small pillbox made of dirt opened fire where a flamethrower pegasus marine burned out the pillbox and they went around where Arctic he used a walkie talkie and called down a rocket barrage on 2 more which were pinning them down where team one a squad of Zebra's pinned down only firing there rifles every now and then but the rocket barrage gotten them to leave cover and move on without them and he did it after the ship reloaded it's rockets and did the same where they had to move on.

They came to a fort like where the marines they helped didn't helped them but they were somewhere else where that was that where they had to flank around going underground and flanked where he and 2 other ponies killed the machine gunners.

They turned 2 machine guns against the enemy in a big ditch like with mortars but there's 2 tanks and marines both ponies and zebra's where only the rocket artillery could destroy them but they helped there fellow marines where afterwards a zebra marine waved his or her front left leg as a sign of gratitude for helping them.

By a backdoor a enemy changeling came through bayoneting the Sergeant but Arctic he switched finally going from coward mode to G.I mode where he killed the changeling by grabbing his head with the wings and breaking his neck where another marine yelled for a corpspony (Corpsman in the USMC).

They couldn't believe on that the Sarge he was just tough as nails stallion who always had guts but they moved on where there going to support the 5th Zebra Marine Division to capture the airfield where they were in a swamp but they fought through the swamp even being ambushed but they prevailed over the greenhorns that had no combat exprence.

They helped the zebra's that were being flanked the greenhorn soldiers where they had no cover against the squad but Arctic he used his magic he threw the grenade which landed in a box of 48mm Anti-Tank Armor Piercing rounds and it blew up which caught the nearby infantry on fire or tore them to shreds mostly both but they kept going on.

Over ahead they seen a friendly bomber that's coming down with a engine on fire where it crashed where Arctic said "This is going to be hard!" he said after seeing the bomber fly overhead coming down where a mare zebra with them said "Everyone they shoot down make it difficult for us." she said to him that every plane that get shot down will be difficult for them.

They made it to the airfield where 4 Zebra M4 medium tanks that are pained black and gray to match the Zebra's coat color and flag color where there tanks came to aid in them but had to fight enemy tanks but 3 more M4 tanks but from the Equestrian tanks came to also aid in them but they continued like nothing happened but the final part was difficult but they fought clearing out each one and took the Triple-Anti Air position where they had to hold back the attackers where he tough it was suicide but 2 Equestrian naval fighter planes came dropping napalm on the attackers.

They taken the airfield which was hard but reinforcements behind secured everything but the fighting is only going to get worse here on out as the island hopping campaign is going to get more difficult here on out especially when they get more closer to the enemy homeland where there bombers or fighter's can't always help them but they'll cross that bridge when they get there.

The teal alicorn looked up and seen there bombers fly in an upside down "V" formation but it's going to be hell for them to move on where the next island can be booby trapped where they don't know where Recon says the island there on is deserted but here they are fighting where taking a deserted island will be a neat but he tried to focus on reality where if they captured an island without enemy soldiers on it well they'll try to take it from the Equestrians and Zebra's.

On June 29th, July 15th, July 30th, August 18th and so on the Equestrian Marine Corps and Farsaian Marine Coprs and Army did island hopping with the Zebra's in the center and North and the Equestrian's in the South and Center and some island's were harder to take and made the Battle of Iwo Jima and Okinawa a cakewalk.

By the end of the war the EMC/Equestrian Marine Corps lost 62,614 pony marines and the FMC/Farsai Marine Corps lost 24,511 Zebra's in the whole war.
