Equestria: World War II (1939-1941)

25TH APRIL 1940

-----------------------------------------------------------------CANTERLOT CASTLE------------------------------------------------------------------
It was now 7:00am in Equestria, and it had been a relatively calm morning so far. The only issues that had concerned the Princesses so far were the large migration rates. A lot of ponies had been hearing a lot about the land of liberty that was the United States, and had been applying to immigrate there, and Great Britain, as they felt they could get a new life there, and open up new businesses, and bring Equestrian products to human countries.

However, the line was so long, that the waiting period for a passport and visa to immigrate to these countries was almost two years, so currently, the immigration system of Equestria was getting a major rework. For now, only rich businesspeople, royalty, military, and government officials from Equestria were able to go to these countries for now.

Another issue was the investigation into the bombing of Nightlights' Shoppe in Manehattan. While two more ponies had unfortunately succumbed to their wounds, bringing the death toll up to 20, the lone human survivor and some other pony survivors had been stabilised, thanks to some new medical procedures that had been jointly developed by humans and some Equestrian doctors who had visited some of the leading medical institutions in the government as part of a diplomatic exchange tour. However, the lone human was still unconscious, and would be, for sometime, so they wouldn't be able to talk to him for now.

The investigation was proceeding, and the new Central Bureau of Investigation, or CBI, of Equestria, had determined that there was very little chance of a mole having secured the Nobel-808 used in the bombing to the HNA, and they were looking at the most likely angle, which was that the HNA had managed to get some from the black market which was starting to infiltrate Equestria and the Crystal Empire. The black market for these two countries was starting to get serious. So far, it had been mainly harmless things, such as human magazines, books, gadgets, and even cars. But now, if the HNA gotten such a powerful explosive from the black market, it had to be stopped now.

As Celestia was getting an update on a large raid on an illicit store selling black market goods in Maretonia, a large group of ponies and humans suddenly came running into the throne room. The ponies were all soldiers, but the humans were the ambassadors and their retinue, now accommodated at the new British and American embassies in Canterlot, and the need for the large warships docked in Manehattan was no longer needed, so they had been sent to be used in the war.

"Your Highnesses, the unthinkable has happened!" said Ambassador Rockmond.

"What? What do you mean, Mr. Rockmond?" asked Celestia, shocked at what the American ambassador to Equestria had just said.

"The ENA... they've leaked Discord's existence to the whole world!" said Ambassador Wood.

"What?! The ENA?! HOW?!" shouted the shocked Princesses, wondering how the ENA could have gotten their hands on Equestrian documents.

"They released a video about this, we have to go to the conference room to see it, and its targeted specially at Equestrians." said Rockmond, as they ran to the conference room, along with a large group of ponies, who were the new damage control and public relations team for the Equestrian government.

They all ran to the conference team, and when they reached, they turned on the large new projector system, which had been connected to a television in the room. As the television switched on, Rockmond put on a channel, which seemed to be owned and run by the ENA, as anti-Equestrian propaganda began playing, narrated by Bret Stiles himself.

"To whomsoever is watching, whichever part of the world you live in, you are in grave danger. The Equestrians and Crystal Empireans have set an evil like no other upon our planet, when they arrived here. The entity of chaos, known as Discord, who was thought to have been imprisoned in stone on their planet, has escaped, and is on this planet right now, in one of the enemies our countries are fighting as we speak. We encourage you to break contact with any Equestrians or Crystal Empireans you know as of this moment, as Discord is a shapeshifter, who can take the form of any human or pony." said Stiles, taking a breath, before he continued.

"An anonymous source helped us secure classified Equestrian government documents, that prove Discord's existence and the fact that he is on Earth as we speak, having escaped from what the Equestrians say is a secure prison. This is proof from the Gods themselves, as the Equestrians and Crystal Empireans don't belong on our planet, or probably came here just to get rid of this ancient evil by unleashing it upon OUR planet." said Stiles, his voice full of venom. The documents were also shown, and they shocked the Princesses. These were copies, of the official top secret Equestrian documents. How had the ENA gotten these?

"If any Equestrians or Crystal Empireans are watching this, FUCK you, and GO BACK TO YOUR OWN PLANET! Now, for our human viewers, let me show you how to rid yourself of Equestrians..." said Stiles, as Rockmond muted the broadcast, and turned it to a news channel.

"As the world has found out that Discord, the spirit of chaos, has somehow escaped from his prison and is somewhere on Earth right now, and is pulling the strings behind the wars, mass panic is spreading around the world, and people are starting to believe the end of the world is near, and they are now stockpiling supplies in case the war turns into such a scenario." said a news reporter, and footage was playing of people stealing things such as food, drinking water, and supplies from shops to sustain themselves.

"How the hell did the ENA get hands on classified documents? Only a few people had the security clearance needed to access the Discord files. We may indeed have a mole in our works. The same mole who may be behind the Fillydelphia bombing." said Wood.

"I was starting to think there was no mole, but now, that seems to indeed be the case, following what the ENA have done. We must execute Bret Stiles, and destroy his organisation!" said Luna.

"Easy there, your Highness. We can't go after Stiles and the ENA just yet. In just 12 hours since they revealed Discord's existence to the world, the ENA's member count has shot up, from around 12,000, to more than 16,000. The ENA are gaining strength, and the public wants to hear a statement from you."

"I see. We shall deliver that statement today itself. Spark, get the broadcasts ready. We will deliver a statement to the whole world on the Discord situation, and we shall tell the public that all effort is underway to find him." said Celestia. "We shall have the CBI began an investigation to find this mole, and have him arrested for the rest of his or her life."

"Yes, your Highnesses. Also, the American President is calling, and so is every major world leader, as well as Anna Schmidt, head of the League of Nations. We have to respond to them first." replied Spark.

"Alright, Luna, you talk to Schmidt and some of the European and Asian leaders. I'll talk to the American President, and some of the other leaders. This evening, we shall give our statement." said Celestia, as the two sisters nodded in agreement, and ran to the telephones, to begin answering the world leaders. As the two sisters began the process of damage control, they knew that from today onwards, Discord would step up his game, to take the Earth for himself.
