Never Bring a pony to a gunfight

It was a cold night in Pony-Ville and the Timber-Wolves howling wasn't helping Pvt. Avery get some sweet dreams, he had everything he could ever want at this point, a nice bed, a warm home and a loving caretaker but something was missing and Pvt. Avery couldn't put his finger on what it was. As Pvt. Avery drifted off into a weak deep sleep, he woke up in No-Mans land with all his body intact,

"Huh? What? I'm...I'm back in France?" Pvt. Avery said aloud in the cold night, he lifted his shirt and saw his stitching, on his chest and noticed the new threading on his pristine clothes,

"I'm...I'm ALIVE! YES! WOOOHOOO!" Pvt. Avery bellowed at the top of his voice,

"Hmm? Was war das?" a squad of Germans muttered turning around to see Pvt. Avery dancing in the moonlight,

"Ah Shit" Pvt. Avery exclaimed aloud looking at the squad of Germans,

"Tötet ihn, tötet ihn!" the Germans cried firing there weapons as Pvt. Avery sprinted to the nearest British trench, Pvt. Avery tripped on a bit of barb wire and landed face first into the trench floor bit it felt soft and warm, picking up his face he noticed the floor had a lovely carpet, neatly stitched and cleaned,

"Boring you am I?" said a voice from yonder the room, to Pvt. Avery's surprise he was in a room with beautiful crafting and paintings all over the walls with a table positioned in the center of the room with little military figurines on a battle scared landscape but last but very much not least he noticed a leather boot positioned directly in front of his face with the words "Field Marshall Haig" engraved on,

"Oh my god! Field Marshall Haig, sir! I'm terribly sorry, sir!" Pvt. Avery stood to attention and gave a British salute to the Field Marshall,

"At ease, Private. You've been brought here for a very specific reason, do you realize that?" Field Marshall Haig continued on,

"Yes, Sir!" Pvt. Avery obeyed on,

"Good man, now you see, Private I've brought you here to tell you, you need to return back to France, the war ends with you" Field Marshall Haig continued on, Pvt. Avery was confused, he thought he was in France but quickly realized that he was asleep,

"You've got 3 years Pvt. Avery, Get back to France before 1918" Continued Field Marshall Haig.

Awakening in a cold sweat, Pvt. Avery grabbed his gear and burst out his room, sprinting towards the village center, the gentle sound of a cricket rubbing it's legs filled the dark night and Pvt. Avery couldn't see a thing in the dark, the only light source was the moon frequently going behind clouds,

"Maybe if I fire my gun, the fire will at least show me where I am"
Pvt. Avery though to himself gripping his En-field, Pulling the trigger a loud bang shot through the air with the resulting fire blast creating a very brief flicker of light and the bullet sending the clouds apart, for a second Pvt. Avery saw a shrub confusing him, He fired his rifle once again making more of an effort to look around this time, his eyes shrunk in terror, dark trees, shrubs and bugs flying around? It was the dreaded Ever-Free forest, suddenly from amidst the darkness 10 yellow eyes materialized letting off a howling sound,

"EAT THIS, YOU SONS OF BITCHES!" Pvt. Avery bellowed unleashing his rifle unto the Timber Wolves. The flaming hot bullet coursed through one of the Timber Wolves chests setting it's wooden body alight and finally Pvt. Avery could see what he was shooting, a Timber Wolf made an attempt to leap onto Pvt. Avery's body, Pvt. Avery parried the attack with his bayonet cutting the monsters throat, another Timber Wolf jumped in to the air trying to knock the British Tommy to the forest floor, Pvt. Avery used the butt of his gun to jab it in the chops snapping the beasts jaw, Pvt. Avery pinned the wounded creature by the throat with his foot and delivered a bullet to the Brain of the creature, the soldier couldn't kill all of them though and was knocked down by one of the remaining Timber Wolves,

"Get back! Creatures of the night!" A loud voice arose from the trees using the light from her eyes the blind the Timber Wolves sending them back over the grassy knoll, Pvt. Avery picked himself up wiping the blood from his cheek,

"Guh...Huh? Who are you?" Pvt. Avery said with a challenging expression,

"At ease, Terry Avery! I am not your enemy!" the pony in the bright light shone down upon Pvt. Avery,

"I'm am Princess Luna, ruler of the Night" The Princess said with a comforting smile, how did she know to come and save Pvt. Avery, well that was her job, to protect all her subjects,

"Come, I know what you need" Princess Luna continued taking the soldier under her wing.

Pvt. Avery opened his eyes and saw the beautiful city of Canterlot, the golden flags, the amazing hearths warming eve decorations hung up ever so nicely and of course the Castle of Gods where the rulers of Equestria are born, The gentle pitter patter of Luna's hooves filled the hallway whilst Pvt. Avery's boots marched along like a tank but didn't echo in the slightest, Pvt. Avery saw Princess Celestia as he reached the throne and recognized her as ruler and so proceeded to kneel down in respect, as Luna departed from he side to join her sister Princess Celestia began to speak,

"Rise, Terry Avery, You are safe here" The Princess said ever so gently it would make even the most scared of ponies comfortable,

"Your Majesty, I must thank your sister for saving me in the forest" Pvt. Avery said saluting the Princess, confused by his odd hand gester she looked at him perplexed, It was a British salute where you put your hand to the side of your head portrait ways,

"Oh, uh...Anyway. I notice you are not from this land" Continued the Princess walking over to a small globe placed inside a glass jar,

"Indeed not, I'm from England, your Majesty" Pvt. Avery proceeded on looking at the Princess with a look so blank you could draw a picture on it, The Princess lifted the globe into the air and smashed it down on the ground with a mighty force,

"Do you see any "England" on there?" Princess Celestia went on examining his strange body,

"Cryolorth...Zahariss...Tamerial...Equestria...Arcadia...Saddle Arabia..." Pvt. Avery counted the countries and didn't recognize any of the continents, where was the United Kingdom? Eurasia? Australia? the Americas? Africa? Nowhere to be found, but what about the Pacific Ocean? North and South? The Atlantic? Nope, Gone, Just the Equestiran Plate, and Zarcadian Plate, two giant super continents ruled the planet,

"You are lost, on another world and no hope of returning to your planet" Princess Luna announced to Pvt. Avery's fallen body, he gasped, his face turned pale and he slumped to his knees with tears welling in his eyes, Pvt. Avery realized he couldn't save his dear country or anyone, but maybe he didn't need to he thought to himself, maybe somebody else will stop the war right? Wrong Princess Celestia walked over placing her white wing on his shoulder,

"There maybe is...one way for you to return to Earth" Princess Celestia said gazing into the stain glass window of the 6 ponies using the Elements of harmony to destroy Nightmare Moon, Pvt. Avery's eyes dashed up at the monarch who smiled in return,

"You must use the Elements of Harmony" continued Princess Celestia putting on a more serious look,

"The Elements of Harmony? Alrightyo' then! Where are they?" Pvt. Avery asked Celestia looking around,

"I'll lead you to them" Continued the Princess leading Pvt. Avery outside the palace,

"WHAT?! WHERE ARE THEY?!" gasped Princess Celestia staring into the Empty chest,

"Up there!" Shouted Pvt. Avery pointing at the thieves,

"Who are they? They look like you!" Asked Princess Luna staring at Pvt. Avery turning her head quickly to look back at the humans,

"Oh bloody hell, It's Fritz! Bloody thieving German twats!" Pvt. Avery said chocking his En-field and proceeding to open fire on the German soldiers who had over heard the conversation between Celestia and Pvt. Avery, the Squad had stolen the Elements and where attempting to make there great escape which was quickly foiled by Pvt. Avery's lucky shot piercing the Germans chest, as the injured Hun rag dolled down the tower landing on the bridge with a thud the German limped up and tried to run grabbing his wound to stop the blood,

"OI! Don't let the bugger escape!" Yelled Pvt. Avery sprinting towards the limping foe, Pvt. Avery dived onto the Germans body and delivered a punch straight into Fritz's mouth sending his teeth flying down his throat,

"Alright! How the hell did you get here?!" Pvt. Avery bellowed at the German with his fist at the ready to slam straight into Fritz's gob and with a heavy German accent he spoke,

"Ve are...trying to get home back to Germany...Ve overheard your conversation about the Elements of Harmony" the German uttered under his dying breath before collapsing in Pvt. Avery's arms, Pvt. Avery dropped the body, grabbed his trusty En-field and his Pistol and swung his rucksack around his shoulder and walked in the direction of the Germans in pursuit,

"Hey! Where are you going?!" Princess Luna shouted as Pvt. Avery marched to the edge of the huge bridge,

"I've got to get those Elements backs, Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it with those relics" Pvt. Avery said with a salute and base jumping off the huge bridge into the dark abyss.
