Chapters strange storm system over battlefield
"this is Experimental single hand command AC-130 Delta-21 to command, approaching the target zone now."
"uhhh this is Delta-21 to command there is a strange storm system over the battlefield, should I proceed to the target zone?"
"This is Alpha-12 to Delta-21 we are now entering the storm system, we will have to pull away here, the MAW system is trying to fire flares."
John had been excited when the airforce reached out to him to see if he would like to test a new experimental aircraft, a AC-130 that had been modified to be entirely controlled from a switch board in the cockpit, from firing its guns to reloading from autoloaders, it could all be done at the touch of a button, the first test flights had gone well, but now it was its first test in a real combat situation. he was all ready for it, but a storm system had been messing with his and his fighter escort's systems, but now he was flying alone through the storm, but he wasn't to worried, after the AC-130 is a flying tank, surely it could take a storm system, and he continued the flight, after reaching the coordinates that command had radioed to him he began circling and radioed to base command that he had reached the requested coordinates, soon the radio crackled to life.
"Rodger that Delta-21, you are cleared to attempt to drop through the clouds to the target zone, descend to 6,000 feet."
"Rodger that command" replied john and he began to descend to 6000 feet, but something odd started to happen, despite the nose being gently pushed down the altimeter refused to report a change in altitude, and the airspeed kept increasing, "command, something is wrong with the flight instruments" john said.
"Comman.... Delta-21..... Abort missio.... Repea.... Abort Missio"
"Command?" john enquired, "come in Command?" John felt that something was wrong, the airspeed kept increasing, going past the maximum safe limit, could feel the gunship accelerating, soon he was being pressed back into his seat, he could feel the aircraft begin to heat up, and could hear the sounds of metal groaning and warping, through the windows he could see the nose cone being enveloped by a cone of fire, the acceleration was becoming to much for him and could feel his conciseness slipping, suddenly a boom erupted ahead of him and the cockpit windows shattered, showering him with glass

ponies will appear in the next chapter i promise
Twilight was confused, after the strange bipedal creature emerged from the steel beast twilight had tried to talk to it, she barley managed to say a sentence before the creature began screaming in ponish that something couldn't be happening before puking all over the ground and her hooves, the strange creature then fell to the ground on all fours which didn't look like how they should be, the creature the moved back into the steel thing, when she checked on it later she saw it asleep on the floor. confused she decided to look at it while it was asleep.
returning with spike a bit later she saw it had changed positions on the floor, she noticed it had two red marks on it's body, she guessed they weren't meant to be there because they seemed to cause the creature discomfort whenever they touched the ground, as twilight observed it more closely she noticed that outcrops on it's back had marking that said something that she couldn't understand, there were obviously bits missing to it because she supposed it didn't mean to say
perement
air
force
she couldn't figure about what it meant when she was closely examining its face she noticed its eyes slowly opened, then flew open once it saw what was leaning over him, it quickly scattered back into the slanted rear of the steel tube, and it was probably the closest she would think it would come to teleporting. with it now being wide awake, it stared at her in shock and she stared right back with curiosity in her eyes. it opened its mouth and began to speak
this wasn't Johns least stressful morning, but it wasn't his most stressful morning either, he had woken up to have that weird lavender horse from earlier staring down at him, he crawled back across the warped steel flooring and before he knew it he was halfway across the AC-130 and had his back against the warped form of the cargo door, shocked and not expecting a answer he asked "who are you?" the lavender horse looked shocked and stumbled back, nervously replying with "twilight sparkle" 'huh' thought john 'that a odd name' the suddenly the wreck of the gunship lurched over to one side, and before he could react he saw two rounds from the Gau-12 rolling across the floor, eyes widening in shock he realised what a dumb mistake he had made, he had lay down and fell asleep, in a gunship, which was fully loaded and fuelled for a combat test mind you, with its engines on fire which could of quickly spread to the fuselage and ammunition holds, which would not of ended well for him and anyone in a 100 meter radius, quickly pulling himself together, he decided to hold his mental breakdown for later and took charge, yelling at the 'twilight sparkle'
shocked the horse thing called 'twilight sparkle' stumbled back revealing a small lizard looking thing that stood on two legs, but the 'twilight sparkle' seemed to get the gist of something was wrong and hurriedly got out of the gunship. followed quickly by john who when he saw the engines and now the wings were in flames, he hurried back inside to the cockpit, hoping the extinguishing systems still had enough juice for one last firing, he hit the button on the modified dashboard to enable it and stopped, praying it turned on, all was silent, only punctured by the sound of the GPWS still trying to convince john to pull up, the a light on the dashboard lit up, reporting that the flame had been contained and extinguished.
Giving a sigh of relief he went down the mangled stair ladder and approached the 'twilight sparkle' who was standing and staring at the extinguisher fluid leaking from the mangled engines, john was determined to make conversation with this thing, but before he could say anything the twilight sparkle spoke up and asked "who are you?"
John felt horrible, he had arrived on a alien planet, nearly blew up a large portion of land, puked on two of the planets inhabitants, and was now cowering against the wrecked hull, trying his best to hide behind what was left of the GAU-12, noting that it, the Bofors AA and Howitzer, bore a close resemblance to macaroni, noticing the blue Pegasus thing marching towards him, he started to try to cower under what was left of the landing gear housing, but alas, the wreck had sunken into the soft ground, he tried his best to shrink under the GAU-12 as the blue Pegasus approached, and when it stood in-front of him, he felt powerless, he was in a new world after all he was panicking (wouldn't you be panicking to, normal day till you are in some fantasy land) trying to hold back another fit of retching, he muttered out a tiny squeak of "um hi, please dont kill me" he noticed that the purple, what did she call herself? Alicorn? was nervously looking at them, but then as he turned to sheild his face, he heard a question arise from behind him.
"What even is a Air Force?"

i'm trying a new style where each time there is a cut in the paragraph it will be from a new perspective, thus making the chapters longer
Confusion, The Sequel
Twilight had looked away when Spike belched up a letter, as soon as she looked back she saw that John was face down in the earth with Rainbow Dash poking him on the back, "get up" poke, "get up" poke, "get up" Poke, "Stop it Rainbow" Twilight ordered "Fine" Rainbow dash responded with a role of her eyes, Retrieving the letter spike had burped up Twilight silently read it, Her eyes widened as she read finished it, "THE PRINCESSES ARE COMING!" She shouted, "THEY WANT TO SEE THE HUMAN" Rainbow dash stared at twilight as she rushed around in a panic, "WHAT AM I GOING TO DO, I HAVE NOTHING PREPARED" then There was a bright flash of light behind twilight, as she turned she saw that Princesses Celestia and Luna were standing behind her.
"so this is the human we saw Last night" Remarked Luna, staring at the unconscious form of John, As twilight was about to greet the princesses she heard a groan behind her, turning she spotted john trying to pull himself up, as she saw him sit and then look up, as he saw the princesses he, appeared to of teleport-ed back across the ground and in the blink of a eye was cowering inside the wreck with only his head poking out from the metal oval, "we mean no harm" Celestia remarked as she tried to assure him, just then John turned green again and disappeared into the wreck, a loud clang could be heard from inside, as Twilight, Celestia, Luna, Spike and Rainbow Dash peaked their heads inside they saw that John was lying on the floor again, Rainbow dashed in and after a quick inspection of poking him she declared that he was unconscious, twilight then assumed he was overwhelmed with all of this new stuff. as everyone (except John) walked back outside Twilight, Celestia and Luna walked to one side to discuss what they would do with John

"someone enabled the motors to return the guns to landing position, the clicking was the motors ripping themselves up because the guns are jammed down" all he got for his explanation was a look of confusion, with a sigh he reexplained in a simple matter "big stick thing wants to go up, button make it go up, it cant go up, it break itself and makes the big click noise" with this explanation he earned a nod, symbolising that Rainbow Dash accepted his explanation, john then wheeled around and climbed up to the cockpit, covering his ears because of the loud sirens, he hit the master warning switch and silenced the sirens.
After spending a long time reading lots of different peoples books on this wonderful site i have come to the conclusion that i find mine to be written horribly

i hope you enjoyed the story but its over now
It was a relatively normal day for twilight so far, she had woke up, at breakfast and went out to see fluttershy, she spent a couple hours at fluttershy's house before going to see rarity for lunch, after being stuck in a one way chat about fashion statements she the went to see princess Celestia and Luna discussions on the subject of peace with the Yaks, but then something happened that made her day different from any other, a huge storm appeared over ponyville and could not be moved by the Pegasi, so of course she had to investigate.
lots of lights had been appearing in the storm that had now expanded into a massive cloud system that was touching the ground at it lowest points, twilight had been ripping her mane out while trying to figure out how to fix this, she had been reading for any reference on how to fix this cloud problem, but she only found one, it was a sketchy account written in the margins of a book on warping between realities.
one thing odd about the storm system that came to twilights attention was that it was just lights, it had no wind or no rain, just lights flashing in the clouds, deciding to investigate further she convinced the other 5 elements of harmony to come with her, she even managed to convince spike to come with them, she went with them to sweet apple acres (which was the closest land to the lowest point of the cloud formation) standing in a empty field behind the orchid they examined the clouds, getting as close as they dared, being rainbow dash, rainbow dash dived right in only to come out a couple seconds later, after losing all visibility, suddenly a loud screeching sound erupted from the clouds, causing all the ponies and one dragon to jump back, covering their ears, then a massive grey and black shape shattered through the clouds, coming down in the empty field hard, it carved a massive gouge through the soft dirt, bits of steel flying through the air and impacting the ground.
as it came to a halt the ponies took in the scene, flames engulfed outcrops of metal on either side, shattered glass was on the front as well as a ash surrounding the front, which was a dented and bent shape, fire lit up the evening sky, quickly retreating until princesse Celestia and Luna arrived, along with a detachment of guards who were followed by a gaggle of curious ponies from Ponyville, a sound was heard from inside and then a section dropped out, followed by a strange bipedal creature, shocked, twilight stopped and stared as the creature examined the ship the turned and noticed them, Twilight decided to try and make first contact, "hello my name is twili-" she was cut short by the creature shouting.
John woke up to the AC-130s on the ground, the first things he heard were the weak sounds of the GPWS ordering him to pull up and drop flaps and gears, he took in his surroundings, his face was cut with glass, but his visor managed to shield the worst of it from his eyes, he unbuckled his seat belt and pulled himself out of the seat taking note of how his seat-belt had cut through his flight suit and into his shoulders, but he felt little pain though he could clearly see blood.
he received minor difficulties with the cockpit door as the warping hull had wedged it in place, after breaking open the door he made his way down the stairs, though he could barley recognise them as the ones he climbed up earlier that same day, making it to the forward exterior door he was relived to find that it would still open with relative ease, as he stepped out he took in the scene of his plane its wings had been bent back from the force of the aircraft's acceleration, they now resembled the f-14's Dorito mode, the engines had been set alight and the nose cone had been coated with a layer of ash.
then he turned and saw a thing that he could only relate to a show he had watched in his child hood, one he had never expected to see in real life, the thing he saw made him stop and stare in shock, it was a small horse of lavender coloured coat and most surprisingly, wings and a horn, behind it were multiple different mini horses that had the same size and odd coloured fur as the one standing in front of him, struggling to remember the names of the characters he saw standing in the middle were two horses taller than the rest, one had a white coat and a mane the colour of a glittering rainbow, with colours changing at every angle it was seen at, it also had a horn and wings like the lavender one stood in front of him, the other had deep purple coat and a blue mane, she to had wings and a horn
the lavender mini horse began to speak in English, shocking john, "hello my name is twili-" but he cut her off with a shout, of "NO, NO, NOT ME NOT NOW" the lavender horse looked stunned at the outburst, before the lavender horse could say another word he doubled over began to violently retch, spewing uncontrollably, the lavender horse jumped back but not before puke hit her hooves, falling over john couldn't stop spewing, he collapsed to the floor, hands supporting him, retching violently now on all fours, before he curled into a ball shaking, he started to crawl to the dropped stair/door, desperate to make it back to the one thing he had left from earth, he began to painfully ascend into the mangled plane, he collapsed onto the floor of the cargo bay, lying surrounded by the things from the place he called home. he fell into a uneasy sleep on the cold hard floor.
"Who are you?" Twilight asked, it was the only thing she could think to ask, the creature looked shocked at the sudden question, but eased itself and looked like it was preparing to answer, it opened its mouth and replied with a shocked "lieutenant John Parks of the United States Air Force" Twilight stopped and contemplated this for a second, but as she was about to speak Spike Talked for the first time since Twilight forced him to come out to the wreck in the middle of the night, Speaking out he asked "what are you?" and Lieutenant John replied with "I was about to ask you the same thing"
Spike then Cautiously replied with "I asked you first, so you say it first" 'lieutenant John' stopped to contemplate that for a second, then replied with "fair enough, I am a Human, more specifically a Human male" "and you are" he responded with
By now the sun had risen and twilight spotted a blur of a rainbow whizz by the wreck before Rainbow Dash materialised next to her, Rainbow dash was about to say something but she was cut off by john starting to have a vomiting fit again, splattering Rainbows hooves with the puke, jumping back in shock Rainbow immediately tried to get the puke off, shouting "EW, EW, EW, EW, EW, EW, GET IT OFF" but only succeeded in smearing it up and down, John, now freed of his puking fit, began trying to apologies for what he did, shouting "OH NO, OH NO, OH NO, IM SORRY, IM SORRY, IM SORRY!" before backing into the hull of the wreck, Rainbow looked shocked at the sudden outburst from John in what she thought was Ponish and wondered how he knew it so well.
