Battlefield Equestria

A/N: Wow people are actually reading this? I am very happy that they are and tracking it on this site and its giving me a boost of confidence to continue to work on this. On to the story and now with 20% more awful grammar and half-ass punctuation errors! :)

Ponyville

Spike had a pile of books in one hand and the other he was using to climb up the wooden ladder. When he had one stack done he climbed back down and started another stack. As he did he looked over at Twilight sitting at her desk reading a book about alternate universes.

“Twi, have you ever tried to read one book then put it back before you get the next one?”

“Well I am sorry Spike, the princess wanted me to look up on alternate universes. I think this might have something to do with the creatures in the forest.”

Spike looked at her with wide eyes

“Strange creatures? Do you think they are aliens!?”

“Spike don’t be silly, aliens don’t exist. Even if they do exist I doubt that they want to start any trouble”

“Yeah but-”

“Spike, relax” she said with a smile, “Everything will be alright, don’t you worry”

He started to relax a little and walked over to her with a pile of books. He placed them down on the ground and sat down next to her

“So what have you found out?”

“Listen to this,” Her horn glowed and the pages turned and then stopped on a page she bookmarked, “The concept of other universes has been proposed to explain why our universe seems to be fine-tuned for conscious life as we experience it. If there were a large number, possibly infinite, of different physical law, or fundamental constant, in as many universes, some of these would have laws that were suitable for stars, planets and life to exist. The weak anthropic principle could then be applied to conclude that we would only consciously exist in those universes which were finely tuned for our conscious existence. Thus, while the probability might be extremely small that there is life in most of the universes, this scarcity of life-supporting universes does not imply intelligent design as the only explanation of our existence.”

“Wow…I didn’t understand any of that.” said Spike

“There could be other worlds with life in them, other worlds with all kinds of intelligent life and useful knowledge we could learn from them!” The more she thought about it the more excited she got and grew a big smile on her face.

Spike rolled his eyes and continued to get back to putting books away.

“That silly filly, she really needs to get out more.”

Spike suddenly stopped and belched out a flame and a scroll appeared.

“Twilight, another note from the princess.”

“Oh good, let’s see what she has to say.”

“Dear Twilight Sparkle,

How are you coming along with the research, I hope the books I sent you are more then enough. As for the creatures that have been appearing in the forest, they are nothing more then just rumors. I have dispatched my best guards to look in the forest to make sure nothing is off. I am sorry to hear about the injured animals, Fluttershy is the best and she will heal them back to full health. I also to ask you if you stay out of the Everfree Forest until the guards come back with their report
Sincerely Princess Celestia.”

The Everfree Forest

The Everfree Forest, where the weather changes on its own, the animals fend for themselves, all kinds of strange creatures roam the forest. Every pony knows it’s a dangerous place for any pony but yet very few venture into it. But three brave Royal Canterlot Guards had nerves of steel, laughed at danger, faced danger head on.

“Why are we doing here?”

“We’re here to find the pony eating monsters!”

“Pony eating monsters…really?”

“Will you two pipe down, were on a mission. The princess wants us to find out about the creatures that been appearing in this forest!”

“Is it true that these creatures walk on their hind legs?”

“We are here to confirm if the reports are true."

The three pegasi walked down the dirt road and heard a strange sound coming from down the road. It sounded like metal slashing against itself, the sound made the two guards cringe with every slash but the lead pegasus stood his ground.
Suddenly the source if the sound came into view. To them it looked like some kind of monster with a long nose with a head that looked like it was swollen. The color if it’s skin was a mixture of green, brown, and black.

The tank stopped in front of the three pegasi, their wings spread wide trying to intimidate the large metal beast. The leader stepped forward. The other two guards looked at each other and stepped forward next to him. The three of them huddled with their wings covering each other’s backs.

“Is that the pony eating monster?”

“Of course it’s not, it doesn’t even have a mouth…does it?”

“Look how long it’s nose is.”

“Seriously, will you two dumb-asses shut up!”

“What now, sir?”

“We have to establish communication with them in order to confirm if it’s are hostile or not!”

Suddenly the hatch of the metal monster popped open.

“(Whoa, horses with wings cool! Hey check this out they are wearing some kind of gold like armor!)”

Their language they spoke was strange to the pegasi.

“(Horses wearing gold armor?)”

“(They are horses with wings!)”

“(The correct word is pegasus, didn’t mother read you any fairy tale stories with pegasus?)”

“(No, but your mom did!)”

“(Oooo, so original…asshole…)”

The three guards looked at each other and shrugged and then focused their attention back at the creatures. The soldier hopped down from the turret and started walked over to the lead guard.

“(What the hell are you doing, we have to meet up with the others at the cave!)”

“(Animals like me…I want to pet it.)”

“(Stop fucking around and get your ass back here!)”

“(Come here horsey...)” the soldier slowly walked up to the lead guard. The guard had a confused look on his face as he got closer. When the soldier had his hand right to his face the guard bit it.

“(Ow, the little fucker bit my hand!)”

“(Aw, it likes you. I’ll get some rope and then you can take it for walks and feed it hay and comb its hair and name it Sprinkles.)” he said as he started to laugh.

“(Fuck you, it probably has rabies!)”

As the two argued, one of the guards leaned into the other,

“What a strange language they speak.”

The two soldiers looked at him then back at each other.

“(What the fuck? Did it just talk? It talked!)

The other soldier jumped down from the tank and walked over to his comrade with rifle in hand. The soldier walked past him, knelt down, and took off this helmet.

“You, horse creature, say something else” the soldier said

The three looked at him. After what seemed like forever the lead guard spoke up,

“You two are to come with us by order of the princess. If you do not come with us peacefully we will do it by force!” said the leader

The two Russians looked at each other then back at the Pegasus and pointed their rifles at their leader. The three pegasi took this as a threat. Two of the guards flapped their wings and charged at them. The second soldier was knocked down to the ground the lead soldier grabbed the pegasus by the wings and threw him to the ground hard. He then pulled out his side arm pointed and fired at the pegasus he took down. The lead guard watched in horror as his fellow guard was executed in front of him, he charged at the soldier who killed him with full force but he was too slow. The soldier slammed the butt of his rifle on the back guards head. The lead guard tumbled across the ground. The Russian walked over to the injured pegasus, his helmet was off and was bleeding from his head.

“Get back...to the princess...tell her we need back up!” he said

The guard flapped his wings and flew into the air as fast as he can and didn’t look back. The two humans looked up as the guard flew away.

“(It’s getting away.)”

“(Not for long.)”

The lead soldier pointed his AK and fired several rounds. The royal guard felt the bullets shred his body and wings and came crashing down in the trees.

“(Lets go make sure its dead)”

“(No time, we are already late as it is)”

The lead soldier walked back to the tank and climb up onto the turret

“(What should I do about this one?)”

His comrade looked over at the pegasus and then back at him and climbed back into the tank.

“(Kill it, we can’t let anything know we are here.)”

The soldier pulled out his side arm and pulled back on the slider and pointed it at the guards head. The pegasus knew he was going to die, with his last ounce of strength he flung his left wing at the Russian and cutting him on the arm.

“(Ow! You little piece of shit!)”

The soldier pointed his sidearm again at the pegasus and fired several shots

Eastern Georgia

David looked out the window of the Humvee. Watching as the scenery passed by. At first David was happy to be on his first mission since his ‘little mishap’ in Dubai that left him on probation, but then he started to realize that the CIA agent was probably there to keep an eye on him. To make sure that he doesn’t disobey any more orders.

“Hey Dave, is there something wrong?”

David continued to stare off into the distance.

“Something about this mission just doesn’t sit right with me. I mean why would Iran steal nuclear materials when they already have a shit-ton of their own and why does Russia have nuclear shit of their own in the first place? I am pretty sure that Russia is planning something!”

“Come on Dave, don’t think too much into it. This is guy we’re getting is probably some NPR nut-job who thinks he can ‘take over the world’, gave some bullshit speech to a few ultra-nationalists that are willing to give their lives to a false cause, and promise them money and power. But in the end, we’ll come in and kick their asses”

David looked at him with a cocked look

“Now who's thinking too much into it” he said with a chuckle

James chuckled with him and smiled

“Well at least you are off base on a mission and finally away from the general. I mean I’d be happy to be doing something else besides the same old boring shit day in and day out.” he said

The agent leaned forward and tapped David on his shoulder.

“The Dubai mission was the only negative point against you. I’ll do whatever I can to make you look good again in front to the other generals and even the president.”

“…Yeah, thanks”

David rolled his eyes and reached for a small AM/FM radio that was sitting on the dash. He pulled out the antenna and started to fiddle around with the dials and held it close to his ear.

“Hey Santiago, I was just curious do you know anything about that teleporter that the Japanese had?” asked James

“All that the Pentagon knows that it was stolen by the NPR but there are conflicting reports saying that some another group stole it. All we know that it has to be found before it can be used as a weapon.”

“A weapon? How?” asked James

“It can be modified to teleport a bomb, or bombs, all over the world. But we haven’t heard any reports of attacks yet. Either they are testing it or can’t figure out shit how it works. Once it’s located it has to be destroyed properly.”

“But how are they going to transport supplies to the ISS since it been stolen. I doubt the government wants to spend more tax payer money to re-build another one.”

“Well for now they have to do it the old fashion way, with rockets.”

David turned around with the radio still close to his ear.

“Tell me more about this General Baryshnikov.” said David

“Baryshnikov is a former KGB and was appointed by the Russian president to train men to become soldiers. He also captured a very important Al-Qaida leader that tried to blow up the Kremlin in Moscow a few years ago.”

“Why is Russia rebuilding their armies again?”

“They want to take on all terrorist that threatened their country, but as of right now Iran is on the top of their list”

“I’m assuming that the Iranian government to stepping up their game, huh?” asked James

“The Iranian government is not too happy with the Russians blaming them and they will attack first without hesitation if Russia does not back off”

“Goddamn, finally…” David said as he finally found a signal. He put the radio back on the dash and turned up the volume. The song on the radio was playing ‘When the Levee Breaks’ by Led Zeppelin.

The convoy consisted of a small company of Rangers, two tanks, one APC, and three Humvees. The general gave David the extra fire power since he knew he needed it to fight off any heavy resistance but the one thing he was wondering why he need it all. A gun and a few brave men is all he needed. It was only a few minutes when they reached the foothills. David held his finger to his ear and pushed the button the comm.

“General, this is Cortez we have reached the foothills we are now preceding into the canyon.”

“Cortez your call sign will be ‘Echo 1-0’, you and the rest of your soldiers are ordered to find General Baryshnikov alive.”

“...roger that.”

“Oh and one more thing Cortez, you are clear to neutralize any enemy forces that you encounter. Grimm Reaper will cover you from the air if you encounter heavy resistance.”

“10-4 Echo-Actual, moving in.”

“Why the hell do we need so much damn fire power?” he thought to himself

The foothills were a dense forest of evergreen trees. There were also some narrow canyons that the road they were on ran through but David gets a little paranoid when he goes through a canyon or even narrow city streets he is always looking up to see any suspicious activity. Not too long ago he ordered several soldiers out of the APCs and walk along side of the convoy. The area that they were in hand them venerable to attacks from the cliffs to their right and a sudden drop to their left.

“Hey Santiago, you know how to use a gun don’t you?” David said as he rolled down the window and had his M4A1 rifle pointed out.

Alex cocked his M16 and pointed it out the window.

“I took three and a half years of gun combat training; I can shoot a bug from a mile away.”
In the distance, a soldier wearing a green digital camouflage looked through binoculars and watched and the convoy drive through the road.

“(They are getting closer, everyone get into position.)”

He ran past a tall man with a shaved head standing at six feet with his arms crossed looking down at the same convoy.

“(Sir, the Americans are getting closer. Are you sure that he will direct them to the right spot?)” Said a lieutenant that was next to him.

He uncrossed him arms and walked back down the hill.

“(Make sure our spy doesn’t get injured.)”

As James carefully navigated the Humvee down the dirt road, small rocks fell and landed on the hood of the Humvee. All of the soldiers pointed up towards the source of the movement. David looked up, “I want eyes looking up at all times, the rest of you watch their backs.”

A man peered over the edge of a nearby cliff. He waved his hands signaling others that where the other side. The man pointed down at the convoy and then pulled out an RPG launcher.

“RPG, RPG!!” Said James

The RPG struck the rear Humvee and exploded killing the soldiers that were inside. Several soldiers ducked behind the tank and the machine gunner opened fire. The man ducked back behind cover as another one popped out from cover and pointed another RPG at the gunner.
“Incoming!!”

The gunner quickly took cover in the tank just as it struck. David aimed his rifle at the man while he was reloading another rocket. He pulled the trigger firing three shots into his chest and head. David, the two PFC, James, and Alex jumped out the lead Humvee and ducked behind it.

“Tango down!”

Suddenly, two Russian APCs came from around the corner and enemy soldiers came running out weapons drawn.

“Grimm Reaper this is Echo 1-0, are you in the air?”

“Echo 1-0 this is Grimm Reaper, we’re right above you. You’ve got 2 enemy tanks closing in on your position.”

“Roger that, bring the rain.” he said

The AC-130 quickly banked and fired its heavy machine gun and a 120 mm shell on the opposing forces. From the ground David continued to fire back and heard the large shell hit their targets. Dust kicked up on the battlefield, he couldn’t see anything but heard gunfire. He thought about the fallen soldiers in the Humvee that exploded, he couldn’t do anything to help them. His guilt was shadowed by eliminating the enemy.

In the AC-130 a bright flash consumed the cabin.

“The fuck was that?” said the gunner

The other gunner looked at him and shrugged. He picked up another shell and was about to reload and noticed a large metal tube with a timer on it sitting amongst the ammo. His eyes grew wide, the timer reached zero and then exploded. The explosion caught David’s attention he looked up at the falling debris that was Grimm Reaper

“Echo-Actual this is Echo-1-0, Grimm Reaper has been shot down I repeat Grimm Reaper has been shot down!”

“Copy that echo, general is giving orders to fall back.”

“…Shit, Roger that”

David came from behind cover and fired back then another bright flash came from underneath the Humvee. Alex fired several shots at the enemy that was trying to flank them.

“The hell was that?” James looked underneath and saw metal tube with a timer.

“Fucking run!” David said as he pulled Alex to run.

He turned to the soldier that was still manning the 50 cal. On the Humvee.

“Get the fuck out of there soldier!”

David was about to pull him out but he wasn’t fast enough. The explosion threw him several feet and into the APC injuring him and the wind was knocked out from his lungs. For several minutes and there was ringing in his ears drowning out the gunfire and explosions. He started to fade in and out of conscious as James was running towards him.

“…Dave…”

James was above him,

“…we have to…”

He started to blackout,

“…fall back, get up…”

James slapped him awake.

“Get your ass up!”

David quickly sat up and looked around.

“We’re out numbered, out gunned, and more and more enemy forces are coming out from every damn hole in this canyon.” David looked around as he tried to figure out a way out. He looked at a large cave across from them.

“Everyone move into the cave now, move, move, move!” The few remaining soldiers ran into the cave as the fire fight continued. David quickly ran with James and Alex right behind him. As they ran in the cave the entrance collapsed almost burying the three of them alive. The soldiers quickly helped to their feet.

“Are you alright sir?” asked a soldier.

David looked around the cave and turned on his light on his rifle. The narrow passage had very little lighting and dust was kicked up from the collapse; There was a humming coming from the end of the passage and David aimed his rifle forward.

“…Move up…”

When the group reached the source of the humming, they couldn’t believe their eyes. A set of three large metal rings where carved into the wall with a medium sized pad in front of it, a large wire leading from the outer ring lead to control center that was on a elevated platform that was off to the right. To the left racks full of bombs where in the corner, two tanks, and an old Soviet APC.

“Is that the teleporter?” asked James,

“Sure looks like it, get command on the horn. Let them know we were ambushed and send reinforcements.” Said David as he walked up the device. James placed his finger on his comm mic

“Echo-Actual this is Echo-1-0, come in!”

James heard nothing but static.

“Echo-Actual, do you copy!?”

More static.

“Fucking hell, the military spends billions of tax payer dollars on satellites and advance weapons and where stuck using this antiqued shit!”

He threw his hands up in the air in disgust

David looked around the cave and the racks of bombs as Alex went on the platform and inspected the control panel. He plugged in a flash drive and typed on the keyboard.

“I got to shut this thing off, give me a second.” said Alex

“Can’t we just plant C4 on this thing and blow it up?”

“If you do that it will be like a nuke going off…except worse.”

“How can anything else be worse than a warhead?”

“Well you know a black-hole works? Time and space will collapse on each other and we’ll be sucked in and then the whole world will be fucked.”

“I doubt it really works like that...” David thought to himself, “I should of fucking stayed in college..."

David started to get concern on how the agent knew so much about this teleporter, how he obtained so much information about the Russian general, and where exactly he would be. His ‘sixth sense’ was telling him that was bad ever since he left base.

“Sergeant Parks, I want you to see if you can get radio HQ from the APC!”

“Yes sir!”

“The rest of you try to find a way out of this hole!”

“Sir, yes sir!”

David saw something sitting in the back of the cave was a large truck that had a tarp covering the bed. He then walked over to the truck and pulled back the cover.

“Mining equipment? What the fuck are they trying to mine in these mountains, gold?”

At first he thought it was used to carve out the caves in the mountain but then let the thought leave is mind.

“Alright, upload is done…” Alex said as he walked down from the platform.

“Upload? I thought we…”

With David and James had their backs at the agent, they heard a clicking sound. They both turned around and saw that the agent had his gun pointed at them. David looked over at James that was standing next to him and closed his eyes

“…Goddamn it…see James this is exactly why I don’t trust the government. They send assholes like this fucker too keep an eye on us soldiers.” said David with his back still turned at the agent

Alex smiled an evil grin and fired several rounds from his rifle at the soldiers that were at the APC, killing the one that was standing in front of it. The others ducked behind cover. David’s eyes grew wide and felt hatred started to flow through his veins. He came towards Alex and was about to swing at him with a right-cross when suddenly a large Russian blocked his arm and punched David in the ribs. David recognized him from the picture. David staggered a few feet back dropping his rifle kicking it into the pad. He quickly tried to throw another punch at him but blocked it again. When he tried to punch David again, he tried grabbed his arm. But he threw David to the ground hard. He was still in a lot of pain from the hit to the ribs. The general grabbed David by the collar of his Kevlar vest and dragged him to the teleporter.

“Dasvidaniya...”

He threw David onto the pad. Looking down at him James came up from behind and tried to hit him in the back of the head with his rifle, but he punched him in the face. He grabbed him by his arm and threw him into the pad. In the corner of his eye he saw Alex at the control panel again. He waved goodbye at the captain, with a flick of a switch the pad fired up and huge ball of energy consumed both David and James.
David felt electrical surges flow through is body. He looked at his hands and they started to disintegrate, his whole body started to the same. Tears started to flow from his eyes as he fought back the excruciating pain and then suddenly vanished.

David suddenly woke up gasping for air as he rolled onto his side coughing and wheezing. After he caught up breath looked up at a bright blue sky. He had a sudden bad feeling that it wasn’t the same blue sky that he always seen before. It was different somehow. He stood up and dusted himself off and looked over to his right as saw his rifle. He picked it up and inspected to make sure it wasn’t damaged. He surveyed the landscape and noticed that he was in a lush, dense green forest.
“Wait, wasn’t I in a cave…?”

A/N: I know this will never EVER make it to Equestria Daily but I can say I enjoy doing this for fun. Thank you all for reading!
