//-------------------------------------------------------// My Little Yuri : Friendship is Mind Control -by Daxn- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// 1 Prolugue //-------------------------------------------------------// 1 Prolugue Transylvania, 1967, "Operation: Head Games" Yuri was running in the dungeons of his ruined castle in Transylvania: he had been defeated yet again. His first attempt almost worked, if it wasn't for the Allies' Time Machine or "Chronosphere", as they liked call it, created by Albert Einstein in the 1947 and built in San Francisco. The Allies used that machine to go back in time and stop the construction of his Dominator in San Francisco. However, they didn't consider the resources at his disposal; endless mind-controlled minions, ready to construct the possible and impossible and the endless army of merciless clones ready to fight. He still lost and was beaten, no matter where he was, be it a secret island, on the Moon or in Antartica. . When Yuri reached the dungeon's floor, he saw a blue sphere, with lightnings in it : it was a Chronosphere ! He widened his eyes in surprise at its presence. He didn't remember ordering the machine to be built, or perhaps he was absent minded when he sent the order. But it was time to act, not think, Yuri felt the steps of the soviets conscripts entering, ready to capture or kill him. So he quickly entered fast in the machine, placed the safety barriers on his chest and set the date to 30 April of 1947 and set it to send him to New Mexico as arrive. His only hope was to destroy the Time Machine once for all. Just as door was crushed and two soldiers wearing brown trenchcoats arrived, the machine rumbled and stormed, and destroyed part of the walls, Yuri closed his eyes. and... When Yuri opened his eyes, he took a look at his surroundings, and was rendered speechless; He saw a beautiful garden, with bushes cut into the shape of horses, flowerbeds and armoured little horses guarding it wait, armoured horses ? What happened ? Is he arrived in another dimension ? He is dead and that's the Heaven? Or he simply ate an hallucinogen mushroom? He jumped down from the machine and hided behind a bush shaped as a dog: he didn't know if the "Guards" could be mind-controlled or if they were dangerous either, but they seemed unware of his arrival. Yuri watched them talking to eachother in a language that seemed not understandable, he watched them for almost an hour before trying to mind control one of them: Yuri concentrated, a little purple trail appeared over his forehead and moved to one of the guards, piercing the bush and a wall, and said his usual  phrase " A Yuri.. podchinyatʹsya mne(I am Yuri.. obey me...)" Yuri gave the order to came near to the mind-controlled guard and explain who was him and why; luckly, it seemed that the mind of this.. "horses" was no only similar to the human one, but easier to control too, meaning that he could make the "horse" talk in russian, his only fully-undestanded language. The horse started to talk : " Oni okhranyayut nash lider ... YA mogu pokazatʹ vam putʹ, ser( I am a guard of our leader.. Can I show you the path, master)". " ochenʹ khorosho .. Kak ona nazyvayetsya? Gde eto? ( Very well... what's her name? Where is ?)" "целестиа, blizlezhashchiy  ( Celestia, near here) ". Yuri smiled of triumph and said to his slave to do not follow him: after all, he didn't wanted to be spotted during his operations, he searched for an entrance, but it seemed that every door was guarded, so he decided to climb a near tower for takinf an unconventional way. After twenty minutes of climbing seeking an entrance, Yuri reached a stained glass window near the top of a tower: the style of the window remebered to him the windows from the churces,  but the subjects seemd very different:  it represented the Sun ligthing a white horse with horn, wings and multicolored mane, and under the horse another one identical, but black. Yuri assumed that that place was a place of workship or, at least, quite important place, then he rembered that the horse said that it was a guard for their leader and she is not too far: he sadically smiled and searched for a backdoor: time to get a true revenge.... Yuri arrived in what seemed the throne room: it didn't got long, thought he need to control something like three or four guards before arriving, and the path wasn't totally clear, but his foreseeing helpt to find the good one. He saw his target: the white horse with a crown, horn, wings and multicolored mane, Yuri concentrated a lot, a big purple trail left his mind,  then Yuri saw the eyes of the leader changing a bit, tending to purple, and she said "Open the portals to the Earth: we have a lot to do... especially with.. Romanov.. and Commander..." White House, the same day "President, we have an urgent transmission from an unknow source, be careful" The face of a white horse appeared on the screen, and said slowly "I am Celestia, and you shall die.. for Yuri..." President Dougan screamed "Damn you soviets ! You sent Yuri in another dimension! Now we will need to stop him again !" On the screen appeared images of destruction in various countries : Chicago was full of what they seemed pegasus, destroying the cities with bombs with effect never seen before and the lasers taken from the Yuri's UFOs; Kiev's inhabitants resisted to an horde of unicorns who launched fireballs like the Initiates did, Brasilia was a pile of ruins because it was attacked by a group of human brutes and endless clones of a very big bull, not too much different from the brutes both in intelligence and strenght  and lastly Berlin was totally covered in red, like when the Psychic Dominator was activated somewhere. In both the Soviet Union and USA the armies prepared: time to stop the fire again... Youtube Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DSbowW5j34) Choose your side : Soviets : " No match for Boris!" Allies : "Shake it Baby!" Yuri : "There is only one true Yuri..." //-------------------------------------------------------// 1S- No Tricks //-------------------------------------------------------// 1S- No Tricks "Good morning, comrade, I Am Lt. Zophia, and I will be your advisor on the battlefield. We  need to act: a large force of Yuri forces is approaching to our base in Kiev, but it isn't the usual army, it's an army.. of little horses with horns! Yes, you heard well, Commander: a great army of unicorns is approaching, and it seems that are quite skilled in psyonic attacks, as the Initiates did back in the days, and it's up to you push them back until a better army arrives. Good luck comrade" When the battle control activated, the Commander saw that the city was almost ovverrun by the Yuri's equines: the buildings, no matter if apartaments blocks, factories or  schools, were full of that things, and they launched at a very fast rate fireballs who burned the flesh of the conscripts, making them screaming of pain, but the equines failed to destroy the tesla tanks : the tanks just arrived, charged their coils with surronding eletricity and discharged it on them : the unicorns were fried, reduced to ash or gravely burned, and the buildings near the base were liberated. After taking back the control of the surrondings of the base, the Commander asked for more Tesla Troopers and Tesla Tanks : after all, they seemed  the best way to deal with that things; then he organized a defense composed by battle bunkers full of fresh-trained conscripts in the lanes for surprise the enemies incoming and few troopers in the middle of the road, justi n case of enemy tanks.After wawes and wawes of unicorns, which crashed like waves on the rocks against the defenses, the reinforcements arrived: they were composed by four V3 rockets, the remains of all artillery in the city; two Apocalypse Tanks, pinnacle of the soviet tech; some Tesla Tanks and a lot of anti-tank troopers, nicknamed "Flak Troopers" for their weapon, a man-portable flak cannon. The Commander didn't hesitated: he launched all he had to the Yuri's base. The base didn't seemed protected: there were only two badly damaged gatling guns and a psychic tower, but the base was full of equine initiates, so the Commander didn't sent the infantry, knowing that will cause a massive butcher against him, he just sent the Apocalypse and the V3 rockets, who did short work all the enemies: the double cannon caused massive explosions in them colums of the Yuri's infantry formation, the Gatling Cannons just exploded when the rockets hit them, causing chan reaction who destroyed the pyschic tower behind them. After the battle finished, the infantry was sent for investigate about the new technology of the "hostis humanae". The  surprise was the shape of the barracks: they weren't anymore the face of Yuri.. no, they had the shape of an equine with a crown and a long mane, and in it weren't any supplies: only a hole in the wall, peeping over a beatiful landscape.. but it wasn't the landscape of Kiev: it was the one of another place, the Soviets engineers stood a long time trying to guess what was,  before that a conscript shooted to a little black box: the hole disappeared just when the box was destroyed, hinting a link between the "hole" and the box. //-------------------------------------------------------// 1 Y- The Flame and the Book //-------------------------------------------------------// 1 Y- The Flame and the Book "You are mine, Master Guard... I tried many other guards..but  they failed to do their job as mine co-commanders.... but you passed your test, and now you command my second army...but I can't follow you in your task... Celestia will do this... as your advisor... Master Guard, your first task is to destroy the libraries of a tiny, little and yet important town, Ponyville... the libraries stops my process of mind control... set them on fire thanks to the clones of this powerful pony... Trixie.. she is a very powerful psionic, but she doesen't have a great will.. it's a great grunt.... now establish psionic contact with your troops, Master Guard..." When the Master Guard established the psionic contact with his troops, stationated near a forest, he noticed that all his troops were actually clones of the same pony, only without personality, nor emotions... But it wasn't time of think about his troops: he needed to destroy all the libraries of the town. Firstly he sent four "trixies" to a treehouse who contained a library, he heard coming from there a female voice saying "Damn, I must be drunk: I see three Trixies! Spike, push them off", a little reptile exited from there, only to be efficentely burned by the clones, the voice screamed "SPIIIKEE! NOOOO!" and from the trehouse started to exit magic bolts, who melted the clones near the house. Annoyed by this attack, the Master Guard asked the permission for create even more clones, and heard a "yes" far in his mind... After few minutes, new clones arrived, then he sent all his troops to attack the house: the clones shooted from their horns a purple bolt, who bursted in flame once  in contact with the treehouse: the tree burned, and along with it the books and maybe the owner; then his army passed in the middle of a market, causing a mass screaming from the inhabitants, terrorized by the faces of the clones, but the Master Guard said to do not shoot to them: hey might be useful.... the next target were two brick buildings, one of them had a sign saying "Library", the other one said "Elementary School", the Master Guard had for a moment a doubt to burn down a school, but Yuri forced him to send the orders of buring the building. Then he sent the order to burn the Library down, but from the Library a continue blow of magic bolt exited from the windows, causing the loss of five or so clones, but after few minutes the clones counter-fired and burned down the library, killing the aggressors in it. After this "raid", Equestria was fully under control of Yuri: now it was time ot attack the Earth and make the Allies and Soviets pay.... //-------------------------------------------------------// 2A- A Change of mind //-------------------------------------------------------// 2A- A Change of mind "Congratulation Commander for the past victory, but now we must move on : our scouts have located the cloning vats of the Yuri's army in North America, near Seattle, the base seems very well defended, so we have let you two battle fortress and a bunch of Chrono Legionnaires, along with some prism tanks, take out the vats with this, we can't supply you with more. Good Luck Commander" The battle control activated, showing on-screen the two mastodontical tanks rolling over a group of equine initiates and some strange type of snipers, resembling Viruses but bigger, grey, and with passengers  armed with AT rifles, when the Fortress rolled over, the legionnaires appeared from nowhere in front of the fotresses. When the contact was totally established, the Commander gave the order to scout the sides: after all he didn't wanted to lost any soldier in the mission, considering the fact that he could not ask reinforcements; after some minutes, the exploration was done: it seemed that the right side was less defended and with all the generators near. The advisor wondered why Yuri did such a bad positioning of generators: after all, that base was probabilly the only way to supply his armies in north America, he didn't considered the counter-attack opportunity in his hybris ? But then was explained why such a thing: when two generators were destroyed, some clones of Yuri exited from the rubbles and mind-controlled the legionnaires, they  cancelled the fortresses before that the crew could even react, then they moved in the center of the base. The Commander paniced, before remembering of the Prism Tanks that he had left behind, he sent them the orders of targeting the  Yuri's clones, but he saw that the legionnaires have already appeared behind the tanks, so the crews reacted shooting on them insted on the clones, causing even more losses by his side, then the tanks shooted on clones, and, because their ray-spreading, they damaged the near generators. The prism bombardament kept going until a very big group of enemy infantry approached. Because the Commander knew that trying to kill them with only the tanks was a suicide, he decided to run away from the left side and trying to shoot down the buildings while moving in circle: after all, it miight worked. But it was not: the pyschic tower activated and mind-controlled the crews all tanks. The Battle Control shut down, and the Commander felt sorry for the loss: not only he lost with the odds in his favor, but left some prism tanks mind-controlled: now Yuri migth try to  reverse engineering the tanks, and considering his aptitude to steal, it wasn't totally impossible. Carville arrived with a sad face and said  "Commander, unluckly this base was a decoy: Yuri wanted to attract you in a trap, knowing that we will send to him our best weapons, and, has you saw, he placed purposely the generators in the same side for attract your army in a mind-controlling trap. But at least we know something : This time Yuri can't be defeated with our "normal" means : he has an huge army, in an another dimension, loyal to him and we can't use the Chronosphere because we don't know WHERE go in the time for stop him; if only we could avoid the mind control without a long and expensive training for everyone..." Lt. Eva arrived breathless saying "Commander, an urgent transmission has arrived from Florence: the Italian army said that found a way to avoid mind-control, but they need the protection of our armies, and the generals said to send you for organize defenses..." //-------------------------------------------------------// 2Y- Tests //-------------------------------------------------------// 2Y- Tests "Master Guard.... I've discovered an interesting thing... your.... kind. You are the greatest psyonics in existence: you have been trained for years to use "magic"... while you when in fact you were trained for using psyonic, and I found a way to use it at your and mine advantage.... now you can order to your initiates to change their way to attack in everything you desire, spacing from deadly viruses to lightning, but be mindful: this will require a long time for change... and every weapon works well against different targets; plus, i found that the other... "ponies with wings" or "Pegasi", as you call them, can control the weather, I cloned the member of what seemed an "Elite Squadron" called "Wonderbolts": they are fast and competent in their work, but they are quite fragile, so don't ran them in the heat. Still, I need to test the capacity of control weather  on battle field : thus I called you for test in a battle, your target is a factory complex on Earth, precisely in Russia: there you must destroy the complex along with the defenders. Good testing...." The Master Guard actived his psychic connection with the army, and saw his forces: twenty initiates, an MCV and four pegasi still in their usual setting: sonic bombs and binary lasers taken from his old UFOs, but then they changed their setting to a black cloud who shooted randomly bolts and hailstorm and slowly moved over a building, who was destroyed in mere seconds. The Master Guard deployed the MCV and quickly asked for reactors, ore refinery, barracks and an "aerial portal" for calling in more pegasi, but he was surprised in the middle of the construction of the refinery by a little army of conscripts patrolling, he sent to his initiates the order to pass from the fireball to the virus. When the Conscropt saw that were quite a lot of equines nemies, they went in a shed for attacking in all security..or they thought so: the initiates attacked the building and launched psychic-propelled venom balls to the shed, killing almost istantanely all the conscripts in the building. Satisfied by the result, the Master Guard, once created the barracks, he asked for some more intiates and when they were ready, changed their attack mode from fireballs to lighting, placed them in a building and said to keep the position because he wanted to be sure against possible tanks: after all he didn't had any way to mind-control them without a Yuri's clone or a psychic tower. When the aerial portal was ready, the Master Guard ordened a dozen of pegasi, but when the sixth arrived, some V3 rockets were launched nad targeted the portal, causing a resource loss, over its destruction. Annoyed, he built another portal and sent some initiates with bolt mode against the aggressors, who were composed by four V3, some Rhinos and a tesla tank: the initiates destroyed the rocket launchers, but were wasted by the tanks, who then headed for the base, the Master Guard, even more annoyed, sent his pegasi, who destroyed the tanks just before they could be in range for attack the base; the Master Guard sighed of relief and sent one of the pegasi in normalmode to scout the enemy base. A minute later, the pegasi saw that the base was strangely without AA defense: why? Maybe is a trap.... but he just let the pegasi fly over the base, and saw what wass the defenses: a lot of flak troopers, armed with a strange type of flak cannon, who launched some type of incendiary ammo, and they didn't left chance to the pegasi, burning him mid-flight, but his sacrifice wasn't vain : the base was full of that flak troopers and conscripts, along with four sentry guns: it was pretty decent.. for defending aginst a ground army, but the Master Guard had aerial forces, so it was quite evident that, if without a AA reinforcements, the base will be for sure doomed, but from the memories implanted by Yuti about Soviets, one thing was sure : the Soviets  don't care of losses as long they don't defend a VERY important place, and that complex didn't seemed important, so he felt free ot attack without considering much. After some time, all the pegasi who he aksed for arrived, then he changed them to the "weather mode", for carpet bombing the factories in the way to the enemy base. When the army arrived, the Master Guard saw that the Soviets were fleeing, thus he gave the order to chase them, but his pegasi failed to do so, and the soviet's army fled without any harm by the Yuri's army. //-------------------------------------------------------// 3 A- The De Giulio Effect //-------------------------------------------------------// 3 A- The De Giulio Effect "Good evening, Commander, I am Rinaldo De Giulio, and I am the Head Scientist in this lab, I called you because I've found a way to cancel the mind control and avoid it with a machine: the Psyonic Invertitor; it is a machine who stops all the "mind wawes" coming from other brains, tus, rendering impossible the mind control. I have the blueprints for build that, but the problem is that our army can't stand against the Yuri's equines, and it's one-of-his-kind type of, so i could not try one time and if fail try again. Our site for build it is the Pendeant Tower of Pisa: it's where the range of the Psyonic Invertitor it's better exploited for cover the Souther Europe and plus it's the most defended place. Make us proud, Commander" The Battle Control stood a bit off line before activating once that the Battle Control of the Italian Army activated too. A young captain appeared on-screen and said "Alright Commander, we will do our best for defend the entrances, but it's up to you to place the Invertitor and reinforce the defenses, so don't jerk around too much, ok?", then the transmission shut off. The Commander gave an overview of the defending forces:at noth four pillboxes and a Patriot site were up, along with five Guardian GIs already trenched; the souther part had two prism tower and a prism AA, but no true meaning of anti-infantry, so he sent his starting GIs to trench there, then gave the oder of deploy to MCV, then he built some generators and quite many pillboxes and Prism AA. When the last AA was ready, a huge army of UFOs attacked from north, devastating the defender's positions, but were shortly afterwards shot down by the Prisms, then some... "equine brutes" arrived from south, destroying the prism AA. Because the Commander saw that Yuri knew his plans, so he build some prism towers, a war factory and a barracks faster as possible, then he created many grizzly tanks and chrono legionnaires. At that point the Commander felt sure, so he started to build the Invertitor on the Tower. At the middle  of the construction, a some kind of masterminf tank with some anti-tanks sniper, few equine initiates and what seemed the horse vesion of a virus arrived. The Commander sent very fast the order to attack the Mastermind, thinking that its abiliies were the same, but it as not: the tank didn't mind-controlled, but it created a mind shiled who absorbed all the damage dealt by the Allies, Leigionnaires included, and when he shied depleted, an initiate launched behind the tank and exploded, causing the shield to power-up again; meanwhile, the AT snipers had destroyed ten grizzly tanks before been erased by existence, because it seemed that the tank was here not for taking slaves, but for protect and gain infos on the Invertitor, the Commander had an idea: he produced many GIs and ordened to trench  all around the Tower, so it won't reach it without begin destroyed, and so it was: the new Mastermind was destroyed by an humble mass of bullets. When the Invertitor was almost complete, a very big army approacched, doing an all-in for avoid the completation of the machine. THe defenders were ovveruned, and the Allied soldeirs almost lost, when they heard the triumphant voice of Rinaldo "It's up! Return to your dimension, nags !" The Tower of Pisa shone, and created a psychic shockwawe who killed all the clones in the area and freed the mind-controlled, and the troops screamed of joy, the city was celebrating... basically, a flawless victory despite the losses. "Commander, we have an ex-slave of Yuri who wants to talk to you in private, can I send her to your private channel?" A yellow equine appeared on the monitor: it seemd embarassed by talking with him. "Ahem.. good morning, Commander, my name is...Fluttershy...and I represents the Equestria Resistance. Yes, you heard well: not all elements of our world are under the control of that... "man": there are some pony who are fighting against him and free our Leader: Celestia, she is our monarch, and she is under the control of Yuri. I don't know if you want to join us, but it will be an appreciate help", then the transmission shut off, only for be replaced to anotehr one : this time a purple pony was talking "Well, Commnader, it seems that you need some help to fight that man, and I am the good pony for it: I am not mind-controllable and can  give you some help about the weakness of "our" army, call me whenever you want" //-------------------------------------------------------// 3 S- Taking Upper Hand //-------------------------------------------------------// 3 S- Taking Upper Hand "Comrade Commander, our scientists have found a way for attack the Yuri's production in its hearth : they created a portal connecting our dimension to the other, but there is a problem: the proper factories and vats ar too far and too protected for to be attacked without too many losses on our side, so your mission is just to destabilize the Yuri's control over some villages, we gave you an MCV and one of newest tanks : the Vortex Tank, this tank is an advanced AA weapon for destroy almost instantly all the aerial threats in an area, they can attakc ground too, but be careful: they don't standa a chance against the enemy tanks. Good Luck, tovarishch komanduyushchiy" The Battle Control stood for some minutes on static, then it activated, showing the MCV surronded by the Vortex Tanks: they had the chassis of the Flak Track, it was hardened, and had a strange-looking large tube, with some fans in it. When a large group of pegasi approached fast, the Vortex Taks shooted, creating a bvortex who took them all and splatted them on the ground, after this feat of strenght, the Commander gave the order to deploy the MCV and start to create a generator and a refinery. Some time later an orange equine approacched : it didn't seemed dangerous, considering the fact that was alone, but they could not let an infiltrator entering, so the vortex tanks started to wind up the fans when, but stopped the equine said "Don't shoot ! You doesen't seems part of Yuri's army, who are you?" The Commander said to do not shoot to the equine and let it get closer . The equine went on the communicator : "Good day, I am Applejack, I am member of the Equestira Pony Resistance, are you the Commander ? If yes, would you kindly what hte buck is going on ? " the Commander answered that he was a commander for the Soviet Union and that an alliance might be useful for their purposes. Then the orange pony showed where were the Psychic Dominator in each village : it seemed that Yuri never really thought to an attack in his domain, but the Commander knew that everything could happen when Yuri was involved, so he sent only two vortex tanks for scout, and all was explained: Yuri not only placed the Dominators, but he had a Genetic Mutator Towers too, so using the infantry was out of question... but all he had avaible was the Rhinos, the Flak tracks, the vortex tanks and the infantry, so the task was even more harder . The Commander to Applejack where were the other elements of the Resistance: after all, they migth have some tanks, or things like that, but he was disappointed by the answer "Yes, we have from our part some magicians, two pegasi and two Earth ponies, we are few, sure, but I'm certain that we are enough for crush the Dominators". The Commander asked to the orange pony to call the other elements and prepare a plan: until they were in the middle of the forest, they were safe, once out, if unprepared, all might end with everyone turned in a Brute, meanwhile the Commander went to the radio, asking for permissions  and blueprints. "I know what will happen when a Dominator will be down " said the purple pony, her name was Twilight Sparkle"The Trixie hordes will arrived and kill we, and we can't afford bite&run" "So send me: they can't hit me, I can fly and pretty fast too" said a ligth blue pony, "Are you mad Rainbow Dash? You know that they wil send Gatling troops for shot you down ?" "I can run faster than a bullet" "Don't be silly, we are the only few that are not mind-controlled, every loss will mean a huge drop in success rate" "Se..send me, I will make them  reisign..." "No, Fluttershy, Yuri doesen't have an hearth: he won't hesitate to kill you if you go unarmed" The Commander interruped the conversation: he said that Boris, the fine commando of the Soviets, was arriving on the battlefield, ready to kill whatever pass in front of him, no matter if a huge group of initiates or a  group of Brutes: they will fall; but he needed help against eventual tanks and when he will send the demolition signal to his personal bomber on the other dimension. After few minutes, from the portal exited a bearded man with brown fur coat and trousers, and he said "No match for Boris ! Man up and move on !", but the Comander said to wait for the creation of at least five Rhinos: they might be useful. When the rhinos were ready, the group composed by Boris, Applejack, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash moved to the nearest village: the towers were visible but they could not reach Boris, nor the other elements of the squad, so Boris sent hte signal fro bombing, waited some second and then first tower was down, Boris did the same thing with all other four towers in the village, then he sent the signal for the Dominator and... a huge group of initiates arrived from behind by misterious ways, and they started to shoot viruses on Applejack, who started to cough  until she spitted blood, Twilight Sparkle was hit too, but survived and managed to launch a chain bolt on the initiates, frying them. When Twilight finished to kill the initiates, she went near applejack and said "Applejack ! Are you OK?", she answered spitting blood "No... help... a medic", Twilight screamed to Boris "Boris ! Can you contact the Commander and ask for a doctor ?", but Boris didn't answered: he was too much concentrated on placing the signal, but then he turned his head and answered "No, she will be take by a medic after doing our job, if you do not fell sure about her condition, carry her ot the base." and so Twilight did: he took her on the back and transported her to the barrack. But one positive thing happened: the once mind-controlled inhabitants were freed and took their weapons for using them against the clones exiting from the rubbles: evene if some of the habitants died, they managed to kill the initiates, so Rainbow Dash flew on the village saying "Freedom !" and moved the mob over the second village, who was crushed by the mere numbers: not even the brutes standed a chance against the rock-armed mob, nor the Gatling Tanks did. But the second village was devoid of life: the inhabitants were moved or used as grind meat on Earth, so no one joined the mob. The Commander, regained the control of the situation again, said to Boris to spot the towers for the bombers and to the tanks to wait the sign of Boris for destroy the Dominator, no matter if someone tried ot kill them. But when the tanks arrived in the square, they were welcomed by the shots of the AT snipers, who rubbled them in seconds. Because he had no time ot waste, Boris ran in the square, killed the snipers at cost of losing a leg and getting wounded in the arms, for then marking the last Dominator: he placed a red smoke signal, ran away and waited for the bomber, who arrived armed with a tesla bomb: the bomb fell, and killed everything in the range of 200 meters, Boris included. After the mission, a soviet base was established in the forest and a statue of Boris was erected after his state funerals  in Leningrad, where he was born; for Applejack insted Twilight Jack simply buried her under an apple tree, without a funeral nor a foreing tear shed. //-------------------------------------------------------// 3 Y- GRound Regained //-------------------------------------------------------// 3 Y- GRound Regained "Master Guard, we are in crisis now... the Allies have managed to create a machine who denies the mind control... but meanwhile I found a way to pass around it... the so-called "Princess Cadence"  had finally falled under my control.. and she has "agreed" to create the Succubus, an alter-ego of Cadence for our purposes: make Rinaldo De Giulio fall in love with a female Crazy Ivan who I purchased, and so let her place a bomb on the device. Be careful: the guards are not so easily fooled, we can't send tropps  and you cannot lose her, or else we will be doomed. Do your best, Master Guard" The psychic control was established with Succubus, who have exited from a train disguised as human, she said "Everything for you.... Master Guard... just show me the path...and all will done", the Master Guard thought for long about how avoid that many patrols composed by GIs, Grizzly Tanks and Guardian GIs: he could not kill them, not make them fall in love between eahother, or at least, not without too much show, he could not charge to the Battle Lab hospitating Rinaldo because of the defenses... After almost an hour of thinking, the Master Guard found that passing from a building to another  was the safest way, so he started the bunny hop between the buildings: Train Depot-Checkpoint 1- House- House- Checkpoint 2-Breach in the wall; the Succubus exited form the breach by simply inverse-climbing it, even if she was almost psotted by a GI. The Succubus ran to the Battle Lab and encontered Rinaldo just in time, when he will met the Crazy Ivan: Cadence mumbled, a pink trail left her forehead and hit the Rinaldo's mind, then Rinaldo started to court the Crazy Ivan, they stood talking to each other until the Crazy Ivan said the fatal words  "If you really love me, you must let me making explode the device on the tower.... don't you think so?", Rinaldo Answered without thinking "Yes, my sweetie", then the Crazy Ivan ran faster a possible to the tower, but she was spotted by a group of GIs, who started to shoot at her while climbing the Leaning Tower. Because Rinaldo was turned in a blind lover, he placed himself between the bullets and her false love, killing himself. The GIs watched eachother in fear for having shoot to the scientist, and, when saw the Crazy Ivan isterically laughing and the top of the tower exploding, what will happen to them when they will need ot report i.. but they won't report: the pieces of the top of the tower fall on them, killing  the last witness of that "incident", and thus making the Succubus's raid totally invisible. A portal opened behind Succubus and she entred in it, shorly after wards, a legion of Trixies exited from th portal, ready for ovverrun Pisa... "Very Good, Master Guard, now the Allies lost their best scientist and tech: they won't resist long...." //-------------------------------------------------------// 4 A- Dimish the Fun //-------------------------------------------------------// 4 A- Dimish the Fun "Congratulation Commander for you victory in Pisa:  the orders are now attacking the Yuir's Alps base, where there is the alpha portal for the other dimension, over to the test center on Earth; for this mission, we have supplied you with our Chrono Tanks, who can telport everywhere on battlefield and use their chrono cannon for erase the enemies from the time, they have short-range Psychic Invetitor too, but be careful: they can't defend theirself form aircrafts and they are frozen wihtout attack possibility for several second after every teleport, and this can last even for more than 10 minutes if the distance is very long. Now Miss Twilight Sprkle wants you on the transmittitor: she will give you infos about the base. Good luck, Commander" Twiligth Sparkle appeared on the screen, showing behind she a grey wall full of posters and blueprints, she said "Commander, our enemy defend his base with his best units, and he seems knowing that first or late that place will be found, so the generals gave to we plenty of.. wait a second, Commander" the purple pony recived from a secretary a piece of paper, when she read it, her mood changed from formal coldness ot the one of sad united with fear "Commander, we have a bad news: one of our elements named Pinkie Pie has been captured and clonated by Yuri, now, to you might seems not too much dangerous, but it is: Pinkie Pie, even before capture, could bend to her will  the laws of physics for every purpose, and now who knows how Yuri "improved" her skills; and he took the horn of Sombra and cloned him too, and considering the Sombra's skills, it will be even more difficult. Good luck Commander, you will need it" The Battle Control activated, showing first the cloning vats of Yuri and his Battle Lab, who where the Commander's goal; then the view passed on the Commander's base, who had the MCV deploved, two barracks, a Battle Lab, a Refinery and a War Factory: basically, everything, but he noticed that the ore was scarce, and the budget wasn't awesome either: only the money for buy four GIs and a Grizzly Tanks; for compensation, his starting army was better: ten chrono tanks, a lot of Grizzly tanks, four prism tanks, a legion of GIs and Guardian one, along with a squad of veteran Rocketeers and... Rarity? "Yes, my darling, I decided to help in this battle with my ability of finding crystals, even if this base is an insult to the decen..", "It's not time for complaint about the style of the base, Rarity" said Twiligth Sparkle before forcefully disconnecting the communicator of Rarity. The Commander sent her to search crystals in the mountains and meanwhile he sent few GIs to explore the paths to the Yuri's base : it seemed that the mountains forced a one-front ground battle, thus causing a grind war... something that could not effort, not at least with Yuri with fully-operative economy running, so the Commander sent some rocketeers to annoy the Yuri's slave miners and clearing the little fortification near the oil derricks, and saw a strange thing: no AA, at all, not even Gatling Tanks or Pegasi, nothing, just a little group of little, hyperactive pink ponies. The Commander thougth to a joke by Yuri, but then he knew the skills of that pink ponies: they started to fly without anything that could let them do so, then bitten the rocketeers, killing them. Considering the situation, the Commander asked infos about how to kill that things, Twilight answered "I don't know if Yuri changed it, but the Pinkie's clones die if they stay for too much time still, otherwise, you better hope to have a constant fire on them, whic seems not affordable", the Commander placed his hand in the hair, thinking how keep them still, until rembered a unnoticed side effect of time  deletion of all chrono weapons: the immobility of the target, if the tanks shot to them enough fast, they could stop them for a long amount of time until they die for... "boredom". And so the Commander sent his tanks to clear the derricks: they shot on the Pinkies with their beam, stopping them and thus allowing the entrance of an engineer in the derricks and so stealing a lot of money from Yuri's bank and taking it without relitation. After half an hour, the fundings of the Commander were satisfactory, and he ordened the construction of many chrono tanks, chrono legionnaires, rocketeers and many, MANY Prism Tanks, so the losses won't bother him too much, then he gave the order of taking the half way of the main path to Yuri's base and wait; the Commander sent the order of lure the Yuri's army out of his base and thus forcing them to confront the huge army massed to a CHrono Tank: it teleported on the base's frontdoor, causing the arrival of a lot of intiates, brutes, Wrechers ( as the soldiers liked to call the AT sniper of Yuri) and of ten black and purple ponies with their eyes smoking... Twilight opened for accident the communicator, thus showing her talking to herself saying "It cannot be real, it cannot be real, no, I refuse to see this...", then she saw that opened the communicator and shutted it off. When the Yuri's army arrived at middle path, they were welcomed by hundred of prism rays, who melted and burned the flesh of almost all the initiates, while the black horses snorted of pain and started to rattle their tail: at first nothing happened, but then some of the GIs screamed of fear and ran away for an unkown reason, and so they did the Guardian GIs. Because they saw over the head of the soldiers running away where a black aura, the same one of the black equines , the Chrono Tanks shoot on them erasing them from the existence in no time, unfortunately the aforesaid tanks were destroyed by some Pinkie coming from nowhere: they ravaged destruction all over the army, but at least they were reduced to pieces by the light tanks, in all this chaos other threats arrived, spacing from Wrenchers to psychic thrower, unicorns trained to lift the tanks and using them as weapon agaisnt their own comorades. When the Yuri's army was destroyed, what remained of the Allies's army were four prism tanks, two chrono tanks, the leigionnaires and one GI:  so it was   a Pyrrhic victory for the Allies, but the forces were still enough for raze the Yuri's base, free Pinkie and avoid other attack in Europe from Yuri. "Oh, Commander, you DON'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH I WAS AMUSED IN THE BASE! YOU CAN'T!!"said Pinkie Pie once on the communicator, the Commander asked for infos about the Yuri's clonation and their way of working, but she didn't answered: she was just too much excitied for answering to the "boring" questions of the Commander. //-------------------------------------------------------// 4 S- Aerial Conquest //-------------------------------------------------------// 4 S- Aerial Conquest " Comrade Commander, thanks to your deeds, we now have a stable base in this dimension. The Resistance has given to us many useful infos: first of all, the weather here is controlled by the pegasi, who are now attack units, thus, we are costantly under weather attack, but luckly we know how stop that: there is a city named Cloudsale located in the skies who hosts almost all the pegasi population: if we free it, we will have air superiority and our base will grow lager without a continued thunderstorm. Good luck" The battle control activated, showing Rainbow Dash flying escorted by several Migs, Kirovs and some ex Cosmonauts against the borders of what seemed a city, but on the clouds and defended by Gatling Towers. The perimetral defenses were destroyed and so four flying engineers arrived, ready for do their task: shutting down the Dominator. The Commander was going to send a Mig to explore, before rembering that the reinforcements won't arrive: he must do it with just his starting forces, and he could not so scout, so he moved all his forces, engineer and Rainbow Dash  excluded, to the left side, and seemed that he was lucky : there weren't Gatling Towers, just some Pegasi quickly shot down by the Migs, but when arrived in the center, it seemed that Yuri just wanted that move: the Gatling Tower spined up and shot down almost every airship apart form a Kirov who managed to destroy every tower, but the problems weren't  finished : a lot of pegasi attacked the surviving Kirov, destroying it. Rainbow Dash said "Well, Commander, it seems that only me and the brains are still alive: I think we need to retreat", but the Commander answered no and said to Rainbow Dash to just move on the Dominator, clear the area and wait the engineers; but Rainbow Dash refused and went away angry, he tried to stop her, but he refused to came back, so he said to the soldiers on the ground to prepare the flaks: a coward was going ot be executed... Afterwards, he said to engineers to move quickly to the Dominator and take it, they obeyed, but when the Dominator was captured, Yuri showed on the communicator saying "So you thought to pass past my defenses so easly ? Well, you are wrong.. that Dominator has a self-destruct mechanism: if you capture it.. click, and you will die for the viruses raining from the sky...", the Commander grinned angry to Yuri and said to one of the last engineers to  take a generator, shut it down and try to cause a shot circut in the psychic connection : if the Soviets will be defeated, then Yuri will have his mind fried. Luckly the generator cutoff was enought for setting off the self-destruct and thus, permitting the liberation of Cloudsale from Yuri's grasp without ulterior human losses. After that battle, Rainbow Dash was executed by a flak trooper while she flow over the Soviet's base: in the Red Army weren't retreat.... there was only advancing to the opposite direction ! //-------------------------------------------------------// 4Y - Need for Speed.. and Fun //-------------------------------------------------------// 4Y - Need for Speed.. and Fun "Master Guard... I discovered a Soviet base here in Equestria...  it's slowing down our production,and it hosts the Resistance...but i found a way to deal with this: I captured one of the elements of the Resistance, called Pinkie Pie, and cloned her several timesfor her abity of bend space and time whenever she wants, but be fast Commander: the clones dies if they stay for too much time doing the same thing different from fighting. Make me Proud, Master Guard" The psychic connection activated, showing on screen a group of pink ponies screaming to eachother something like "FUN Fun !", then he hardly entered in their mind and send them to explore, until they reached his base, composed by a barrack and an aerial portal, along with a Slave Miner. Rembering what Yuri said, he ried to create a guarding path for the Pinkies, then he  prepared the pegasi and the UFOs for the attack, but then he noticed a thing: the Pinkies started to die.. without anyone attacking them! He was quite surprised, before rembering what Yuri said "Tey di if thy stay doing the same thing for too much time": now THAT was the case of "Be fast or be dead" . He launched al he had on the right flank of the soviet base: it seemed very well protected, but the Pinkies just landed, extracted some cannons and shooted a cannonballs who wreched the flak towers and tesla tower in mere seconds, but meanwhile, from the MCV, some rays exited: they hit the Pinkies, blowed them and then the Pinkeis exploded: somewhow, the Soviets found a way to use magic... th Master Guard was annoyed, and sent the pegasi to destroy the MCV for kill the threat, but they were instead show down by the Vortex tanks, who just shot some tornadoes on them for then splatting them on the ground. Then in the mind of Master Guard appeared the face of a purple pony.. she had the same voice of the one whom burned down her house, she said "So, Master Guard, you were once the captain guard of Celestia, until Yuri has took she over, and you  blindly followed his plan of conquer another dimension, without questioning the orders.. stop now.. you are still in time...", but the Master Guard answered with a  snort, and asked for some Wrechers, Pinkies clones and some equine brutes: this time he needed to do without too much preacation... When his army was ready, he sent it to destroy the Soviet's base: the Wrencher destroyed the Vortex Tanks, the equine brutes charged the Apocalypse tanks, and while some brutes died in the attempt, others detached the turret and launched it to the nearest enemy. When finally evne the Pinkie's clones arrived, they charged the MCV: they destroyed the door, entered in the command room and killed everyone in it, resistence members included, the purple pony tried for the last time to talk with the Master Guard, saying "Don't do it! You are fighting for the bad side ! You are not going ot save our kind ! Stop ! Sto.." the psychic contact closed once a brute kicked her face and killed her. "Well done, Master Guard, you pushed back the Soviets.. but you let escape some of them: now they have some infos about our weakness. Prepare to an harder figh" //-------------------------------------------------------// 5 A- Push on //-------------------------------------------------------// 5 A- Push on "Commander, thanks to your deeds in Italy, we have now the opportinity of attack Yuri in his own stronghold, but the Resistance is saying that we could not attack "Canterlot", as it is called the city where Yuri commands his operation, thus, they suggested to create a decoy, attackin the Cadence's Palace in the "Crystal Empire", where the Yuri's army is more vunerable, for this mission, the Resistance elements will gave support along with Tanya Adams, our finest commando; but because we can't lost too much troops, you must do it with only this troops. Good luck Commander, and return winner" The Battle Control opened, and showed all the elements of the REsistance and Tanya ready and moving along a side street, where a group of initiates was patrolling, when they neared, Tanya armed her pistols and shooted on them, killing them in no time, then the Commander gave the order to Rainbow Dash to scout the rest of the street, when Rainbow Dash finished her patrol, she opened th communicator and said "Commander, over there there is a series of eerie statue connected to the power grid... I don't know what are they, but it's better to watch out, oh, and before I forget, it seems that Cadence has been cloned: she will try make we loving Yuri, and you can imagine how much this could be dangerous for we.." "Co...co..commander, I wish go home.." said Fluttershy, Twiligth Sparkle countered "What home? Everything here is under Yuri's control, I bet that your house is now a pile of ash, and if you don't fight for your own kind, for who you will fight ?" "I don't want to fight...." "Well, you will  need to do it: better die on four legs than live on the knees..." "Ah, well... if i can't leave...", she ran over the street, alerting all the patrols and powering up the statues : the statues's empty eyes lighted up, and shooted the lasers o Fluttershy: she was reduced to a pile of goo, who started to strain over the rocks of the street. "Damn you , traitor Fluttershy ! In five minutes all the city will be here for see what happened !" said Tanya with an angry voice, Rainbow Dash  said "It isn't what we needed to do?" "Nope, our goal was of attacking the Palace and ran away with a chopper, not begin killed by almost every Yuri's soldier !" "Well, if we survive, then he will have a lot less soldiers" "I doubt to see this finish with we still standing... Commander, we are screw: ask for reinforcements, for superweapon attack.. everything ! The Yuri's army is coming for we!", the Commander answered to Tanya with a smile and saying that it was jsu as planned... The Commander prepared the firing sequence of the new weapon, the Psychic FRyer: that weapon will kill and destroy everything who works with psyonic... thus all the Yuri's army ! The Commander said to hold on, and orderned the retreat of Twiligth Sparkle and Rarity: he didn't wanted to kill them for error. The battle seemed unwinnable : for every wrencher and intiates kille by Tanya, they seemed duplicating, and for every tank destroyed by Applejack, another three arrived, and for every pegasi shut down by Rainboe Dash, they seemed centuplicating. After almost half an hour of battle, who saw Applejack gravely wounded, Rainbow Dash wounded on the wing and Tanya losing an ear and the creating of giant piles of corposes and wrechages, the clouds changed their color: they changed from white to ligth green, and some purple ray started to exit from them, and after a minute, a blinding light ray exited, strinking the middle of Yuri's armada: the initiates started to rot at an incredible speed, the wrenchers imploded on theirself, the pegasi had their heads popping, the veichles stopped and started to burn and melting and, finally, the buildings of the Yuri's base started ot burn of purple flames: the flames seemed powered by a some type of gas never seen before, and seemed gowing of intensity everytime a soldier of Yuri died, until they exploded in a glorius red light: every pony mind controlled  in the range of 100km was freed, and every elment of Yuri's army was destroyed. When it was finished, in the  command center and in the communicator of Tanya, this music played : Youtube Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_bqByREJNw) "Congratulation Commander, might offer you something to drink?" said happly Carville, "Thanks to your actions, we are now ready to attack Yuri and kick his ass in a lost place of the time!" Few hours later Twiligth Sparkle returned to the base, and asked what was that thing, and the Commander naswered "It was psychic fryer, something who toasts the mnd of every unit who usespsychic power or "magic", as you like to call it" //-------------------------------------------------------// 5 S- Final Touches //-------------------------------------------------------// 5 S- Final Touches "Commander, we are almost near to our goal: kill Yuri and free this lands: now we have only wait the creatin of our secret weapon, the "Sickle Blow", a supertank armed to teeth, but we can't deploy it right away : it needs to be assembled, we have let you this base with everything at your disposal and a big budget for defend the engineers occupied with the supertank building; meanwhile, push away every attempt of destruction of the construction yard, no matter the costs. Make us proud, Commander, and don't fail." The battle control activated, showing his main base, full of advanced and primary dfenses such as sentry guns, flak cannons, tesla coils and vortex towers; production facilities and an huge army composed by hordes of conscripts and flak troopers, a mass quantity of tesla troopers, a group of Desolators kindly offered by Iraq, almost one hundred rhino tanks and flak tracks, fifty tesla tanks, twenty vortex tanks, ten apocalypse tanks and the sky was covered by the shapes of the MIGs and Kirovs. The Commander thought that this time will be easy: place the infantry in front, hide the Desolators in the trees, see the infantry way dies, then move all in the middle for cause a massive slaughter who will see him the winner.. but it was not, the first wawe was of wrenchers,  initiates and Yuri clones, and arrived from every direction: left, right, front and, somehow, back: it was a total mess, and he was unprepared to this: the conscripts were either killed by the viruses launched by the initiates, sniped by the wrenchers ormind blased by the Yuri's clones, the rhinoswere almost destryed and only a Desolator survived to the first wawe. The Commander was surprised by the Yuri's first attack, but he didn't had the time ot think about it that the Gatling tanks and some unicorn mastermind tanks arrived, along a very large group of initiates, but his time was almost prepared: he asked for more apocalypse and vortex tanks, he build a mass qauntity of sentry guns and tesla coils then he said ot train more teslas: this time Yuri needed to pass throught the hell before reach the yard... The wawes arrived almost  at clock time: arrive-tesla/vortex shot- death-repair/substitute the losses, no matter what  if were initiates or Yuri clones, gatling tnaks or masterminds, pegasi or UFOs: they were destroyed. This pattern repated for ten minutes, until Yuri showed on the communicator and said "Good morning Commander... it seems you need more muscles and so your troops.. woul youlike take more? It doesen't matter still, you could not use it for you enjoy because YOU will be mine...", then Lt Zophia said "Warning: Genecti mutator activated, then every soldier in the area undergone the genetic mutation: their body smelted in particles for few seconds, then the particles united, showing now a new-formed Brute: the horrible mass of muscles and no brain under the control of Yuri. When the mutaotr was activated, all the infantires turned in brutes and charged everything at their range, no matter if buildings, defenses ot tanks: many tanks were broke in two, the defenses almost collapsed and some buildings turned in debris, meanwhile, a huge group of pegasi aproached from the sky, and shooted at target in the base: the battle was almost lost, but finally an engineer showed himself from the top of the supertank and screamed "THe Sickle Blo is ready ! Kill them, soldeirs: they msut pay for their crimes!", then the supertank activated and started to shoot at every brute, pegasi and other units on the battle field, then move one and ran over a huge column of Yuri's soldiers, who ignored the evident tank passing over them. "Congratularion comrade, you have been promoted! Now just say where send this big machine, and it will be so!" //-------------------------------------------------------// 5 Y- Hunchback Shot //-------------------------------------------------------// 5 Y- Hunchback Shot "Master Guard, we finally have retook the ground lost during the soviet invasion, and both our enemies are very weaked for this war, while we are still full operational: it's tiem ot do the final blow: you will attack Washingont D.C. for destroy the Allies, while I will destroy Moscow. Because you will need everything can be useful, you will be supplied with my clones: they are powerful as me, but they don't have free will, and can control only two units at time, so still use them carefully. Make me proud, Master Guard" The psychic contact opened over his big army, composed by numberless equine brutes and intiates, a large group of Yuri clones, the Master Guard thought how he could destroy the enemy with only that, but Yuri readed his mind and said "Soon armoured  reinforcements will arrive... just kill every enemy on your sight", the Master Guard felt a force who forced him to say to his soldiers to attack a near military hospital: the brutes destroyed the doors, and some veteran GIs exited and they started to shoot on the initiates : they killed four initiates, before begin burned by the other intiates. Then the Master Guard sent his army to attack a base outpost, but his army was ambushed by a group of chrono tanks, who erased the brutes without too much attention, the initiates were surprised, and didn't counter fired until half of them was erased: at that point, they launched their bolts on the tanks, frying the crews. Because he didn't had anymore troops, the Master Guard thought to hide in a near building and wait in it until the tanks arrived. For some time nothing happened, but then a big group of grizzly tanks, guardian GIs and Rocketeers arrived, and started to shoot on the building where the Yuri clones hided: the clones mind controlled the grizzlys, but the tanks were esily destroyed by the rockets of the Guardian GIs, then they tried on the rockteers, but evene them failed to stop the GIs: they were simply too much very well rmed, so,  the frustated clones tried the Guardian GIs, but, unluckly, a group of chrono tanks appeared from nowhere, and shot to the building: everything in it was canncelled from timeline, occupants included. The psychic contact shut down abruptly, and Yuri talked ot the Master Guard "You failed me... and thus you must die... even if  you served me loyaly.. you waste a golden opportinity for our victory.. goodbye, Master Guard", then the Master Guard felt something buzzing in his head: the buzz expanded in his brain, causing pain, until he felt his head very hot: Yuri was frying his brain! He tried in  a last attempt to save himslef to shoot a fireball on Yuri, and he succeded: the hot stopped, and Yuri started ot roll over the floor, screaming of pain, until he was turned in mere burned bones. The Master Guard flet proud of his actions, but then he heard again the voice of Yuri in his mind saying "There is only one true Yuri.. you killed a fake one", then he felt again the hot, and this time he didn't had the time of react: he   died instantly. //-------------------------------------------------------// 6 A- A New Dawn //-------------------------------------------------------// 6 A- A New Dawn "Commander, we are now ready to strike for the last time: Yuri has retreated himself in the Royal Palace of Canterlot, and this time must pay his crimes,  however,  our goal is not kill him: Rianaldo de Giulio did some changes to the usual chrono cannon: he created a way to turn Yuri in a 2 years old, so he won't threat the wordl anymore: we tried to change the mind Rinaldo about personally turn him iwth the cannon, but he said that he wanted to do it personally, so don't lose him on the battlefield. Plus, the Soviets agreed to borrow some V3 for make more easy destroy the defenses of Yuri. Good luck Commander, finish the job !" The Battle Control opened over the Commander's base: it had a refinery, loads of generators, barracks, war factory, airfield... everythign that could be useful; shortly afterwards an army composed by ten chrono tanks, Rinaldo De Giulio, forty legionnaires, five prism tanks, thirty V3 rockets and a three squads of Harriers arrived: because needed a scouting, the Commander sent an Harrier to explore, and saw that the gatling cannons were basically everywhere, while the psychic towers seemed absent... but knowing how Yuri fights, the Commander didn't hoped too much on it. Afterwards, the Comamnder asked a big supply of chrono tanks and prism tanks and created more airfields for hosting more harriers, but meanwhile a group of initiates attacked en masse, destroying two chorno tanks and damaging five, minutes after minutes, the wawes growed in power, until the Yuri clones arrived, but even their psychic blast was unuseful compared to the mere firepower of prism and chrono rays, so Yuri started to taunt the Commander saing "I'm waiting for you.. I really like your toys.. can you borrow one?", then Yuri showed himself at the main doors of the palace: he seemed waiting his death... or so it seemed. The Commander gave the order of slowly advance: he didn't wanted to lose in the critical moment; the army moved quite slowly, and destroyed every defense who obstacled them: gatling gun, who take their toll of ten legionnaires before getting destroyed, then was the turn of the laser statues, who reduced to a metal liquid few tanks before begin unactivated by the erasing of two generators, and finally, the army was on the base of the hill: at that point, Yuri shod his best weapon in hsi hands: the loving control, some Cadences clones exited from the accurately-shaped bushes and after a long dance, some soldiers fall in love with Yuri, causing them to attack their past comorades: a legionnaire erased two V3 rockets before begin shut down, a chorno tank went insane and erased another tank.. the situation was falling apart, so the Commander said to Rinaldo to run to Yuri and turn him in 2-years old before he could mind control the fallen in love. Rinaldo ran with undying ferocity, stomping the Cadence clones under his boots, and reached Yuri, he prepared the gun, but Yuri just ran in the palace ot the throne room.                                                                           ENDING Yuri was running in the once beatiful throne room: it was now reduced to a ruined room, with the windows broken, the walls about to fall and the doors rusted: he felt sorry for his actions, but then his mind of wordl conqueor returned, and Yuri runned again, reaching Celestia, he said that now she must defend him , not matter the cost, and Celestia nodded mecchanically. When Rinaldo arrived in the room, his eyes were red of anger, and screamed "YURI! YOU SCUM! YOU, HOSTIS TOTUS HUMANAE, COME OVER HERE AND PAY FOR DEEDS!" Yuri answered "And so what are going to do?" "YOU WILL BE TURNED... IN A BABY!", then Rinaldo powered up his modified chrono cannon and aimed it to Yuri, but just when the bolt was going to hit Yuri, Yuri placed in front of him Celestia, who was hit: she screamed a bit, her body progressely reduced in size, until she returned in a little filly without strangely the wings, Celestia tried ot talk with the two opponents with this words "Man, would you like some tea? I will.." But Yuri, now hiding behind a pile of rubble, said "NO! You brat !", Celestia started to cry and this caused the the simultaneous arrival of the Yuri's elite guard, Luna and some GIs. While Luna arrived form the sky, breaking the ceiling, the elite guards arrived from the backdoor of the throne room and the GIs from the main entrance, Yuri was trying to send the orders of attacking to his elite guard, when he felt weak.. very weak.. he could not anymore use the psychic power, then he looked over the pile of rubble, and saw his worst nightmare: a portable Psychic Invertitor, then Yuri felt a hooves touching his back with insistance, he turned his head, and saw that the guards had already immobilized him, Yuri screamed "No! NO! It cannot be real ! I am Yuri, obey me! I'm your master!" "No, our master is Celestia and Luna, you are an intruded, and because you damaged this room a lot you will be..." the guard was interruped by Rinaldo, who screamed "DAMGED THIS ROOM? ONLY DAMAGED THIS ROOM? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HUMANS HAVE BEEN KILLED BY HIS DEEDS? HE WILL PAY WITH..WITH..." Rinaldo was stopped by Luna, who said "I know your problems, humans: how him killed many of your kind, and used my sister for his plans... but death will be too much ofr him: I suggest to seal him in stone" "NO!" answered Rinaldo, he almost charged Luna in anger until filly Celestia said "Vhat bad things did this.. "humanee"? He maked me cry?", Luna said no, and Celestia continued "So what he did?" "Killed many humans and ponies.. transformed them in food for grass and sent them to the Light Plains..." "Huh, vell, vhy not just turning him in my personal clown? I love clowns!", then she started to talk randomly about the topic, so no one paid anymore attention to her, but Luna said "Well, it migth not seems a great punishment, but humiliating him on public and then use him as slave might be a good idea..." "And how it will follow the law of retaliation?" "He wanted to take over the wordl, and now he is in  the lowest level of the society" Rinaldo shutted up: he rembered that the ponies weren't exactly "people" who will follow that law: thei maximum punishment was begin turned in stone, and with a way of return.                                           Few days later "Commander, I saw that you liberated Equestria from the Yuri's threat, but it seems that there is an unexpected loss: Princess Celestia: because Equestria is a Diarchy, and Luna cannot rule alone, I was choose as new Princess: I'm quite excitied, but I feel that Celestia needes to be raised again by her ex-faithful stuted, so I am her adoptive mother, nad I can't rule with her in my hooves, and plus I want to show my gratitude by awarding you: you will be my regent until it will be time, but don't worry: I won't forget you after, so prepare ot everything." after that, the Commander recived a letter stating "You have been choose for be the Regent of Equestria, uhu? Well, good luck", the latter was signed by Carville, and had a some kind of stamp on it never seen before: it showed the ex palace in ruin, saying in little letters "The Yuri's last stand".                                                      AFTHERMATH. The Commander became an hero for both Equestria and Allies: statues of him placing a banner over a initiate's corpose appeared everywhere in both the wordls; and his govrnament as regent speed up the work of rebuilding of the Equestira, over to improve the general life. The Mane 5 encountered again during the following years. Pinkie Pie was relatively untouched by the war: she had still her shop and her usual bevihour, but in she still dreamed to be clonated again, and this woke up many times in the nights. Rainbow Dash, after the attack to the Crystal Empire, lost her left wing: unable to fly again, she surrendred to live on the ground forever, still dreaming the sky. Applejack was shocked by the things happend to her family and hte Fluttershy's death, and a month later the end of the war, tried to suicide, but she was saved by her friends. Rarity returned to work, but she felt a lot the loss of Sweetie Belle and she never returned to her usual standards of life. Twiligth Sparkle raised Celestia for six years, before feeling that she was ready for rule again, however, she asked o Luna to  became an alicorn along with the Commander, but he refused, saying that the immortality was something of inconceivably destructive for the mind, because the outliving of your loved, so she changed her request to be turned in a human and marry the Commander. And Yuri? Well, Yuri was used as clown during main festivals, and hte rest of the year was cleaning up the palace, with a  cereal soup as food every day; he never accepted that for too logn ,anf after five years of uninterruped work, he suicided by throwing himself in the cesspool. Luna, for once, didn't felt anymore the weight of begin the little sister of a goddness: she was now the bigger one, and became less closed to the outer wordl. //-------------------------------------------------------// 6 S- Our Finest Hour //-------------------------------------------------------// 6 S- Our Finest Hour "Commander, it's finally time to decapitate the snake: Yuri has hidden in a city called "Stalliongrad", a city at east to our original base, he is hidden in the middle of the city, defended by everything possible and imaginable.... but they will be soon crushed by our supertank, who repairs itself with the psychic blasts and mind control, but be careful:the artillery can still put end to the chapter "Sickle Blow" if you are not careful. Good luck Commander" The battle control activated on the Sickle Blow and the two support bases of other elements of the soviet army, who acted for themselves, and they said on the communicaotr "Commander! Are really you? We are glad to see you, we will give every support you will need, just do not stress too much us!", then the communicaotr shut down, the Commander sent directly the Sickle Blow on the near Yuri's outpost, Yuri appeared on the communicator and said "Oooh, what a big toy! Can I have it?", then some psychic towers popped up from the buildings, they powered up... and failed to control the tank, who just shot them down, destroying in the blast plenty intiates and gatling tanks, then Yuri showed gain on the communicator, saying surprised "Pretty impressive... but I still have my ace in the hole..." Then a group of never seen artillery showed up: they seemed a V3 rocket... but  were not: the missles pulsed of purple, and semmed going to explode while still on the platform, but that didn't happened: instead the artillery launched their missles, and hit the slow-moving super tank, damaging it badly, the Commander asked to the two co-commanders to eliminate the artillery while the Sickle Blow will try to repair the damage by psychic flood caused by a group of Yuri clones still not aware of the abilities of the super tank: not only they were kiled, but their attempts repaired the tank too! THe Sickle Blow continuted ot advance, destryoing everything in its path, no matter if a large group of gatling towers, who barely pierced the lateral armour; brutes, who failed in their goofy attempt of climing the tankand were gunned down; pegasi causing a sotrm for shortly afterwrds begin sucked by ten violent tornadoes; unicorn masterminds who tried to shield their comrades from the firestorm coming from the Sickle Blow, only to be simply ran over by the tracks: all their attempt were vain: the psychic towers and the Yuri clones repaired for accident the tank, thus, making unuseful the sacrifice of their fellows; but the tank was still damaged by the Yuri's artillery scattered all over the city, and when it arrived in fronto f hte Yuri's bunker, the tank loast two vortex turrets and all the sentry guns. The Commander gave the order of open fire on th bunker, when the transmission of the pilot said "Tovarishch komanduyushchiy, we have finished all the cartriges: there are not evene the bullets for our rifles!" The Commander was shocked, but regained lucidity in a second and said to do it "old style": charging the initiates and Yuri with the bayonets, and if the rifles weren't enough, jsut run to the enemy with a knife.                                                               ENDING Yuri lauched when saw that the conscripts started to exit from the Sickle Blow: What do they think to do with this? They will be only wasted... Then Yuri had  the view of the conscripts killing brutally with their bayonets the initiates who guarded him: while half  of the charging soviet troops was burned, the other half reached the intiates, and started to butch them down: some beheaded the enemy, other impaled them and other just placed the bayones directely on the hearth of the initiates. Barbarians.. they will fall under my blast..., then Yuri concentrated: he closed his eyes, then murmured some words, his nails trwmbled, and his sign on the forehead shined of a glooming purple light, he was going to launch it, until he saw that nothing happened: he opened his eys, and saw a dark equine, with a mane similat to a starry sky, then the equine talked with a loud voice "YURI! FOR YOUR DEEDS IN EQUESTRIA, AND OUTO F IT, YOU WILL BE EXECUT..." A charging conscript interruped Luna: he charged in a state of homicidial trance, and land a stomach hit on Yuri, showing his guts to the external wordl, then he swinged the bayonet on the Yuri's neck, causing a massive sorinkle of blood, and dirting the Luna's mane and body, and turning in red the conscript's coat, who ignored the blood and continued his aikia on Yuri, screaming no sense phrases while doing it. When the conscript calmed down, Lun scolded him and said "Why you killed him? He didn't needed such a punishment.." "No? And so in your wordl how you punish someone who killed billions of innocents, both human and ponies, children and women included? With a slap?" "No, human soldier, with sealing him in stone, and seeing after one hundred years if still has  the intention who caused the sealing..." "He could not be belived! He had the mind control, how do thougth to stop that feat?" "I nullify evil magic, or "psyonics", as you like call it" THe soldeir shutted up, but in his mind he was still sure of having a promotion: he killed on of the biggest threats in the Soviet Union's history, why he msut be punished?                 A Week Later "Comrade,   I congratulate with you: you have been awarded with the Golden Star, our maximum honoreficence, with Grigor Stakanov, the soldier who killed Yuri during the Stalliongrade's battle and, for what it seemed, your favourite subject, has been awarded with the Silver Star, the second maximum. Ah, and Missis Twilight  Sprkle wants to talk with you, I pass her". The communicator lit up, and showed Twiligth Sparkle with an happy face, she said "Commander, I'm proud of you: you have saved my wordl, but after hearing the not-so-nice move of executing Rainbow Dash of cowardy, I feel that you can't be my Re.. Ah, true, I forgot ot mention it: because th Clestia's mind was consumed by the Yuri's control, she could not looking for herself anymore, so I was choosed as Princess, but because I needed a Regent, I was looking for you, but then it was told me that one of my dear friend, Rainbow Dash, has been executed by your order for cowardy, so I choose the second on the list: Grigor Stakanov, the soldier who killed Yuri. I hope you don't get offended for it, goodbye"                         AFTERMATH The Commander was celebrated for days and days in Moscow for his victory, and Stalliongrad changed its name to "*Commander*grad", but he was a bit offenced for the Twilight's repudation to regent. Grigor became the Regent of Twilight Sparkle, but because he was a violent person, he didn't last long and was deposed. The Mare 4  encountered not too much often  after the war because they were used as factory workers in differents places: Rarity didn't went along softly with her losing of wealth, and the losing of Sweetie Belle didn't imrpoved the situation. Pinkie Pie started ot have a problem with the alcohol for her first work in a forniture  factory, but then she was taken for a "Children's Cultural Program", basically propaganda understandable by kids, and she returned to her usual behaviour. Fluttershy was  traumatized badly from the war: her already fragile mind broke in pieces when the war arrived, so she was locked up in a psychiatric hospital, never seeing again her beloved animal friends. But at least a positive thing happened: the Soviets gave up about taking Equestira, and simply let everyone pass in the portals almost freely; but after the collpase of Soviet Union, the portal closed for power shortage, and every pony locked on Earth was turned in a human and vice versa in Equestria. //-------------------------------------------------------// 1A- No one pass from here //-------------------------------------------------------// 1A- No one pass from here "Welcome Commander, I am Lt. Eva, and I will assist you as advisor during the battles, I will keep you informed about the actual situation in the battlefield." "As your first task, you have to keep away that "equine aerial threaths", commonly called "Pegasi", from the Pentagon until we found a way to activate the advanced AA defenses. Good luck, Commander." When the battle control activated, the Commander saw that the situation wasn't good: there were a lot of corposes of brave soldiers burned, and many others were either wounded or go mad at the first opportunity, luckily, the Guardian GIs, big men with a rocket launcher and a kit for construct trenches, were still in their position in the checkpoints, between an apartament block and a highway bridge, and they killed a lot of pegasi before they were forced to retreat to the Pentagon, where a more consistent defense was online: the Patriots Sites in the entrances and in a near football camp killed many pegasi, but weren't enought for fend off all and some shooted their lasers, destroying a part of a wall of the Pentagon. The Commander, as first move, ordered to a engineer to take a near hospital for diminish the losses, then he ordered the costruction of three Patriots Sites on the battlefield, when they were ready, he placed them in the middle of the road not too far from the base. The battle was long, and sometimes a UFO appeared, trying to steal energy from the base, but were destroyed by the Gurdian GIs, Yuri taunted the Commander once saying "You know, Commander, I read your mind... know that you never expected to be attacked by a mass of little horses... well, prepare to be defeated by them too", just before a very large covey of pegasi arrived, maybe hoping to crush him, but the  AA was already online. When the AA was ready, the Commander was surprised: they used an upgradedd prism tower.. that can shoot multiple targets? It was a genial idea !. After he deployed of the devices, melted pegasi flesh started to rain: the lucky pegasi died at the first strike, unluckly, it wasn't the case of 60% of them, who died from the burns while flying back to the base. After the battle, some scients took samples of hte melted flesh, and noticed that were all the same pegasi, just repeated an endless numbers of times"Classic trick of Yuri:  take one and clone him 'till drops dead" said Carville, a Hight-Grade General from the south of the USA: he was one of the few elements of the ranked military to trusted the Commander since he was only a quick replace for a more expert Commander died before him, during the New York defense. //-------------------------------------------------------// 2 S- What lies behind //-------------------------------------------------------// 2 S- What lies behind "tovarishch komanduyushchiy, congratulation for liberating Kiev, we have found why the Yuri's barracks doesen't have supplies in it: they are coonected to another dimension by a some kind of portal, but we can't just pass our mighty army in them, because the other side is, obviously, guarded by the Yuri's clones, ready for take the mind of our soldiers, so we need to take the tech for the portals, and we found a base in Poland who is perfect for our needs: it has a lot of barracks, there is a battle lab and seemes that are some.. equines that aren't clones, they might be only under mind control, not totally indoctrinated from the birth, they might  be useful. Good luck." The battle control showed the little base in the middle of a city under the control of the Commmander: it had some war factories ready to produce, barracks and some sentry guns. The army wasn't impressive : few conscripts, four Rhinos tanks... not enought for attacking, so the Commander ordened the construction of an ore refinery for taking the gold and crystals deposits near the base, then he started to prepare the AA defenses and two tesla coils for be ready for an eventual attack from Yuri, then he gave the order to produce two terror drones for scouting the outside :  when the drones were ready, he immediately sent them to research  the Yuri's bases. Few minutes later, the drones found two outposts, garrisoned by the anti tank snipers and two equine initiates each, were at east and in the center, the outposts protected an hospital and four oil derricks, both of them strangely still neutral, but the Commander didn't thought much about it: he just asked for a lot of flak tracks and light tanks, then sent them to destroy the outposts, but... the five buildings weren't what they seemed: some gatling barrels exited from the windows and from the silos, and a strange-shaped tower appeared from the top the hospital. And so the Commander faced a double trap: he destroyed all the threath in the area, but at cost of half of his starting forces and most of his tanks heavily damaged; few minutes later a group of UFOs, coming from the Yuri's base, attacked the Commander's base: while somestole the energy of the reactors and sent offline the defenses, other just shot on the buildings, he sent the order to return to the base to his armoured forces and they arrived  just in time: the last barracks was almost destroyed and the MCV was midly damaged, the other building were just ruins. After killing off the UFOs, the Commander found with horror that the UFOs destroyed the ore miner, along with the refinery: because he had few money, he could not build it, so he produced with all he had some conscripts and an engineer, moved for attack the Yuri's base on the weak spot, the northen part, connected with the southern  part with a series of ruined buildings pn the top of a not-guarded hill. The army moved over the hill until it reached the opposite side: it seemed that weren't noticed by the patrolling forces, and that was hte easy part, then the Commander in a desperate all-in sent everything to destroy the internal of the base : the rhino at first destroyed the generators and killed some Yuri's soldiers, but were reduced to scraps from the AT snipers. Both the Commander and his remaining forces paniced, so he said just to escort the engineer to the MCV  and have him surviving, no matter what. The engineer crawled to the MCV, but was spotted by a Yuri clone and some brutes; the conscripts saw the clone looking at the hard hat, and made a last desperate action : they attacked the brutes and the clone, even knowing that they will be wasted. The engineer stopped to crawl and ran to the Construction Veichle of Yuri's army: he knew that every moment counted, the hard hat went near the crane, and changed the control codes.... Te commander now had stole a psychic communicator, and has first action, said to he slaves ot sell the building, and they didn't said a word: the building collapsed on itself, and some rougue initiates, under hte control of the Commander, attacked the Yuri clone, burning him and attrating the brutes to them, but the grey mass of muscle didn't evne reached hte initiates: they were gunned down fro mthe conscripts. The Commander sighed of relief, and said to the ex-Yuri's hard hats to take the portal box, the prisioners from a barrack and to run to the escape zone, where a hot air ballon was goign to take them away. And so the ex-slave did, and he escaped with all others people .
