Command and Conquer Generals: The Equestrian Front

Both men took in their surroundings, and took in several deep breaths. "well..." Ironside said first "you gonna tell us what the hell we're doin' here?" Milner nodded in agreement "actually yes, do tell us why you've brought us here"

Celestia wasn't used to being addressed so crudely, that and the distinct lack of a bow or any kind of respect was somewhat off-putting to her "I must be patient" she thought "they don't know yet"

"I am ruler of this land" announced Celestia proudly, a hoof on her chest. "well, you musta screwed up somethin' fierce to need TWO lots of help" interrupted Ironside. she frowned "i was getting to that, before-" it was Milner's turn to interrupt "well stop beating your chest and get on with it! tell us the situation in plain English" He scalded. Celestia sighed "This land has been invaded by an insidious and aggressive foe, and despite our best efforts we cannot stop them. that's where you two come in useful. I have watched both your armies fight, win and lose. and I know you both suit different military doctrines" she looked to Tom "you, Mr Milner suit a defensive doctrine of building massive defense lines and fortresses" he nodded "that sounds like me, yes" she looked to George next "and you, Mr Ironside suit overpowering and masterful mixed assaults, always keeping your foe off balance" he grinned in agreement "that's what I do"

Milner interjected "but we'll both need one thing and one thing only" Celestia raised an eyebrow "I was expecting a long list of demands but go on, what is this one thing" she asked. "a construction dozer from our faction" both men said simultaneously. she frowned "I'm sorry, but I don't know what those are" she answered. "but you teleported us here, can't you teleport a few other things?" inquired Milner. Celestia looked pensive "describe them to me, and I will weave a spell to bring them here"

her horn glowed, and a large bubble appeared in mid air, both men were shocked at this. "what the hell is this!?" demanded Ironside. "the very same detector I used to summon both of you" a blurry image began to form, it eventually cleared up to reveal an overhead view of Tom's headquarters. "that's....my base" gasped Milner. "it is, yes." said Celestia airily. the view switched to Birdseye, so the whole base could be seen. Milner scanned the apparition in detail. "there" he said with a point "that vehicle, right there" he said quickly "very well...." Murmured Celestia, the bubble disappeared. and her horn glowed brighter, and brighter. Until it became blinding and both men had to shield their eyes. "gah!" squawked Ironside "that's brighter than a Nuke cannon shell!"

Eventually, the light subsided and they both uncovered their eyes. A full ECA excavator sat squarely in the middle of the room. The driver stuck his head out of the window "HOW DID I GET HERE!?" he shouted in his thick Swedish accent.

"general, and Ironside....and a horse." he frowned "oh balls. I've fallen asleep on the job and this is some crazy dream" he said. Celestia horn glowed, extracting the driver from his vehicle "no, this is very real, my little human" she said in a motherly tone. He wasn't impressed "don't patronize me, lady!" he said scornfully "and put me down! and let me wake up!" he said, sounding increasingly panicked, she set him gently down and walked over to him. "I'm not dreaming, am I?" he said calmly. "no, you're not" said Celestia gently. there was a moment of silence. "I....I'm sorry for snapping at you, miss. I was panicking and...i get angry when i panic." he hung his head "I'm Simon, by the way" he added. "it's OK" she said in the same motherly tone.

"I wonder if she's good with kids" whispered Ironside to Sanchez. "sure sounds like it" he replied

after some back and forth chatter, Simon gave a proud salute. "you're not going to die on me!" he said proudly. but then looked unsure. "are you?"

she walked back to Tom and George, looking towards Ironside. "now, shall we summon your version?" Ironside clasped his hands together. "let's". the same ritual happened again. the American Dozer was placed neatly alongside the excavator. the driver rolled down the window, and leaned out. "whoa!" said the driver in his heavy Chicago accent "whoa, what is this? are the fumes gettin' to me or somethin'?" Celestia walked briskly over to him "no, all is well." she said calmly. his eyes flew wide open "a talkin' horse!?" he slapped his forehead "oooooh man. what am i on!?" he stepped out his vehicle, and noticed everyone. he was shocked "ECA!? here!?" he shouted "it's OK!" called Simon from across the room "you're not high, this is actually happening!" there was a long silence. "what's your name?" asked Celestia "name's tony" he answered nervously "and you are?" Celestia was happy to answer "I, my friend am Princess Celestia, leader incumbent of the Kingdom of Equestria.

"we didn't get the fancy introduction" pouted Milner "you didn't give me the chance" she shot back.

Tony ran his fingers through his short, greasy hair. "well. what needs doin'?" he said with a sigh. "very good!" Boomed Celestia "now that we're all getting along..." tony and simon stood next to eachother "I have jobs for you all. but first, there's some Ponies I want you to meet. the very ones you will be working with" there was a knock at the large chamber door. everyone turned around, the two drivers correcting their crumpled uniforms. "come in!" she shouted. the two huge doors creaked slowly open. five ponies stood at the door walked in. "these are the elements of harmony, essentially second in command of the whole country. and they will be guiding you through the tough times ahead." explained Celestia, all the men were standing to attention.

the humans and ponies stood oppisite eachother, every human's hand was clasped in salute. "at ease, soldiers!" barked the Blue one, with a Rainbow colured mane and tail. on instinct they all took the stand at ease position.

a Magenta one spoke up "I have one very important. VERY serious question for you all!" she said in a severe tone. then, her eyes widened. "do you all like parties?"

four pairs of eyebrows were raised
