SOCOM: Equestria

CH. 7 Let the Six Man Invasion Begin

After our little competetion was over everyone began to disperse until it was just James, his crew and I. I began to explain to James and his crew that he would need to park the main battle tank near the Northern edge of town because we needed to go North to reach the home country of the wolven attackers and raze their capital to the ground. After I explained the plan to him I said "No one can know about this especially the princesses because even though they are at war they don't look like they want and invasion to happen by someone under their authority, so we need to keep this on the down low and it would be easier if you park the tank at least half a mile out of town so we don't wake anyone up when we leave."

He nodded in affirmation and set off to park the tank while I went back to the library to have some R-and-R before H-hour. Upon arriving at the library I could hear the princesses and the girls talking, but I only caught the end of the conversation, "...but if this keeps up and more of the wolves come in with invasions Discord might break free!"

I decided to make my entrance right then but still act like I hadn't heard their conversation. After hearing about this new threat being discussed I knew I needed to find out more about this Discord fella and when the time comes remove him from the equation...permanently.

"Oh hey how are you guys?"

"We're fine and we were just about to come and look for you where have you been?" responded Celestia.

"I was talking to James to come up with the best defense stadegy that can be emplemented with a tank."

"O.K. So what did you and James come up with?" asked Twilight.

"Well, James is gonna set up on the Northside of Ponyville a few miles out of town because he can engage the invaders when they are in the large open area proceeding the everfree forest."

"What makes you think that the wolves will come from the North and not the South or the East or the West?"

"Because one big reason and that reason is that ponies are too afraid to get near the forest let alone go inside to patrol it. Wouldn't you invade through an area feared by your enemy to get the upper hand Princesses?"

Luna and Celestia looked at each other for a short while before nodding in agreement to my statement. So far the lie I have been putting upmis working, but from what I heard I have to be careful around that orange pony 'Applejack is what I believe her name was.' Since I heard she is able to tell when someone is lying so she maybe able to see through my ruse.

Nightfall rapidly approached when I spent my time chatting with Luna over various topics ranging from what my hobbies were when I wasn't on a mission to what she did for fun when she wasn't dealing with politics and well everything inbetween was comparing the politics of our different worlds. I for one enjoyed the conversations with Luna and she looked like she did too, butTwilight wasn't the happiest because she didn't get to ask about human anatomywhen my conversation with Luna because 'I had to go to bed.' After I had walked to my room I waited until everyone was still and no sound was being made was when I decided to make my move to meet James and head towards the Wolven capital and end the conflict with these annoying mongrels. Since Twilight had let me stay in her basement I could leave easily without having to worry about passing someone's room with to much noise. I made it to the front door no problem but then I heard a soft noise from upstairs, barely audible but I could still hear it. I turned to see who was at the top of the stair case and spotted Princess Luna standing there looking at me with worry in her eyes.

"What are you doing? I thought you were going to bed?"

"I was but then I decided I needed to check on James since he would be staying in the field for a while."

"I can tell that you were lying when you told my sister and Twilight your defense stradegy. So what is your real stradegy?"

'Damn only if I knew she could since the sincerity of one's statement I would of hidden my true plan better,' I thought as I let out a stressful sigh. "Okay you caught on to my lie, but the only reason I lied was because I knew Celestia wouldn't approve of my true plan," this drew a questioning look from Luna, "My real plan is to take the tank with James and his crew and sneak out in the dead of night when I thought everyone would be asleep so we could invade the Wolven capital and wipe from the face of the Earth and end one prong of this war I've heard about and if the time comes eliminate the Discord fella you were discussing with your sister and Twilight."

Luna's face turned into one of complete disappointment, "I believed you trusted my sister and I better than you actually do. I guess I was wrong on my intial assessment of you. Do whatever you wish from now on your assistance will no longer be needed, my sister and I will defend Ponyville." And with that final statement she left her spot at the top of the stairway returning to her room.

After she left me to my thoughts I let out a sigh of relief because she made the right desicion not to associate herself with me because the only people that can be near me as friends and survive are the crew of a main battle tank, so now she would have to deal with the heartbreak of one of her dear friends getting hurt because of my unlucky aura. With on last sigh in the main foyer of the library I opened the door and left to change the tide of a war.

After I left the library it took me about fifteen minutes to reach the field where James was waiting. Upon seeing me approach he started up the tank and his crew was at full alert status. As I neared the tank I gave him a nod that everything was a go and that we weren't going to be followed. When I finally reached the tank I hopped on to the turret and we set off into the Everfree forest where no pony was brave enough to travel.

We had been in the forest for probably thirty minutes before James's resident consipracy theorist started to get nervous, but that was normal for him when they were on alert status. I also began to think that maybe if I told the truth earlier Luna and I could still be friends, but then again the only friends of mine that survived a mission where the crew of the tank I was currently riding on so I decided it was for the best and maybe I could make amends when I returned, but until then I had an invasion to think about.
