Princessdom of Equestria

Canterlot, Royal Ministry of Internal Affairs

==============================

Paper Stamper looked at the classified file, dictated “VANHOOVER INCIDENT”, in which he blinked at the category of incident. It was Category V.

What could have possibly occurred in that city that required th-?

His thoughts died out as soon as he opened the file with his levitation, looking at those black typerwriter words in it.

The file documented an unknown, alien species and a ruined city roughly 100km outside of Vanhoover itself. The species itself was ape-like, but capable of walking on two legs and having social capabilities. They wore Griffonian Empire-like army clothes and advanced weaponry. The helmets, which looked like the Griffonian stalhelm, seem to either have the Griffonian runes, or a tricolor flag on it, or a simple black bent cross on a white circle, with said circle on a red background. Some wore a cap. Children were identified within the group.

Most interestingly, the file couldn’t identify if they were speaking Ling or Herzlander. The ape claimed they spoke something called “German”. When questioned by the local police, they called themselves something called “human”. They also claimed they were other apart of the “Wehrmacht” or the “Schutzstaffel”, the children said they were apart of the “Hitlerjugend”.

A few humans, some in soldier-outfits while one in a suit, came over to talk with the local police, as they said that they hailed from a country called the Großgermanisches Reich and that they wished to speak with the Equestrian government in the name of the “Fuhrer”. (in their words, it was ‘whatever compiles as the highest form of authority’).

Paper Stamper was by now sweating. He was just a simple bureaucratic stallion! He wasn’t trained to deal with situations such as this! He took a deep breath in, and practically chocked on the hydrogen as he looked at the clock, as his eyes widened in a surge of panic. He had a meeting with the Privy Council about…4 minutes ago!

He immediately levitated the file into the suitcase, closed said suitcase and levitated it beside him as he began to trot faster than usual, praying to Celestia that the Privy Council wouldn’t fire him.

Canterlot Castle

Meeting Room

======================================

Counciler Stiff Bit could only mutter one question.

“What?”

The entire room, alongside Princess Celestia, as regal as ever, looked in surprise at the, by now, sweating beaucrat.

“W-Was there something you didn’t unde-” Paper Stamper was interrupted by a hoof smacking the tabe, scattering a pen.

“Of course we bloody understood everything!” the Royal Armed Forces Council Attache, Colonel Dark Arms, shouted as he looked at the file. “Some technological advanced glorified apes who speak Griffonian and have Griffonian attire, have suddenly appeared out of nowhere! I ought to have hal-”

He was silenced by Celestia’s clearing of the throat, and her staring at the Colonel. “Colonel, please. “ she said in a calm voice before she moved her head to Paper. “You mentioned they wished to talk?”

Paper Stamper nodded. “Yes, your highness. The ap-”

“I think we should call them by what they wish to be called.” interrupted the Princess.

Paper Stamper grunted before he nodded.

“Right, sorry, your highness. “ he cleared his throat once again. “As I was saying, the…” he sighs. “...German ambassador who talked with the police forces said that they are in desperate need of, well, everything. Food, construction material, everything. He said that the Führer, that’s the title of their leader, wishes to talk with your highness at, what they call, the Reich Chancellery. “

The colonel huffed, but sighed. "Do we know anything about their capibilites?"

The beaucrat inhaled, as he looked at the Colonel, thinking how he should explain this to Prince Blueblood's right-hoof stallion.

He finally exhaled. "Reconnissance and, from what we got from the contact reports, the Germans seem to have advanced weaponry and technology. Some of it is out of our spheer of knowledge and based on the count, we have to assume at least, maybe, 20 divisons, if not more that we haven't seen."

Dark Arms looked at the beaucrat, worringly. "So, that's it? We can't stop them at all?"

Paper shook his head. "The reports indicate that the soldiers seem highly demoralized and depressed. Some of the ponies noted the physical aspects of the soldiers, some thin, some hungry, all of them dust and mudied. " he shrugged. "Well, those that the police saw anyway."

Dark Arms immediately brightened up. "See, Princess? We can just wipe them out in one g-"

The warmongering earthpony was silenced by the alicorn's stare once more.

"We haven't heard if they even have demands at all. Maybe they wish to join Equestria peacefully. " she said before looking back at Paper Stamper.

“W-Well, there was one demand they have. “ he then levitates a piece of parchment from the Foregin Office of the Reich towards the princess. “They want the two regions ceded to Germany.”

A slight silence before the entire room roared with fury. Giving up lands to aliens? Improbable!

That was before the Princess snapped and shouted “SILENCE!” in the royal voice. The room instantly quieted. Celestia took the moment to calm herself down before opening her mouth to speak. “Let’s hear them out first. Tell Vanhoover that I will be heading there to visit Berlin. I will see their situation for myself and decide from there. “

The colonel opened his mouth, perhaps to complain, and to perhaps try to convince the Princess to take advantage of the situation by simply mopping these humans up, but the alicorn was quicker.

“I will decide for myself.”

That pretty much just shat the entire room up before she turned her head to her Captain of the Royal Guard. “Do set it up, please?”

The Captain nodded, before moving his hoof to his head in a salute, before trotting out.

Celestia smiled before looking down at the table. “I believe that will be all. “ she said as she got up and trotted out of the room towards her office as she began to think her next words, and probably a letter to Twilight Sparkle.
