(Two days later)

AJ looked out over the endless ocean of snow while she looked down from the commanders hatch to see the mares Twilight and Rainbow Dash sitting on one of the benches in the back of the tank.

[Commander? Are you ok?] She looked over and smiled at Savva who in her opinion looked cute in his Spetsnaz uniform.

[Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking of what that mare said and all these memories that's been going around in my head.] She said getting a nod from him.

[I see, is it giving you any trouble at all?]

[No. Just faces and names I don't really recognize.]

[Hn.]

[What do you know about these Princess' that we're going to meet?]

[Just that the oldest is some kind and caring ruler while her sister used to be a bit more to the dark ages before the unification of the equine races. She was imprisoned by the oldest after she betrayed her or something for a thousand years.] He said getting a whistle from AJ.

[That's a little harsh.]

[I suppose but a thousand years ago I guess it was expected.]

[Hn]

(Four days later)

As the convoy finally made it they saw lush green on the other side of the pass as the troops let out a cry as they came through the on the otherside.

[Finally something other than white! Commander, what do you think?] Nikolai asked.

[......]

[Commander?]

[She's fine, I think she's just taking in the sights] Savva said chuckling.

AJ looked around in wonder as she took in her surroundings as images and memories rushed her making her grab her head.

[Commander? You ok?] Savva asked as she looked down into the cabin of tank.

"Twilight, what is this place? I know Equestria but where in it?" She asked as the mare looked up along with Dash.

"We're on the outskirts of our hometown, Ponyville." She said as AJ heard a few soldiers snicker.

'What a name. Really?' She thought.

"Should I be expecting anything when we get there?" She asked as they shook their heads.

"Not that we know of. But you mind if Dash heads there to let the towns ponies know about you guys so there won't be a panic. The town ponies are very skittish, trust me I know." Twilight grumbled as AJ raised a eyebrow.

"Alright."

[Convoy all halt.] She called as she felt the tank come to a halt.

[Ramp down and let Ms. Dash out so she can get the welcome wagon started.]

[Yes, ma'am.] AJ watched as the ramp went down and Rainbow took to the sky heading for Ponyville.

[Ma'am? Do you think it is wise for her to do that?] Mihail asked while AJ grunted.

[You know what to do if they try something.]

(Ponyville)

Twilight and AJ walked through town after she had her troops hold back except for Savva, Mihail, and Artyom.

"Wow this place is a ghost town, are you sure anyone lives here?" AJ asked watching her surroundings along with the others.

"I don't know what's going on. Dash should have told the mayor about you coming." She said as they others tightened their hold on their weapons.

"Commander I don't like this." Mihail said shouldering his rifle.

"I know but with what the princess told me I want to see for myself if it's true." AJ stated as she looked over at Twilight and a flash went off.

(Flashback)

"Come on AJ! You said you would show me yesterday." Twilight grumbled folding her forelegs and pouted as the other mare laughed.

"I know I did sugarcube but you got to wait for Granny Smith. I know how you are at learnin things.Ya just got to be patient." AJ smiled over the princess who sighed.

"Fine. But you know." Twilight smiled stepping towards her friend with a playful look on her face watching the mare raise an eyebrow at her.

"Know what?"

"Since it's just me and you till Granny Smith gets here maybe we could you know." She smiled wagging her eyebrows loving how fast her face turned red.

"Just teasing AJ!" She laughed listening to the grumbling mare as she looked away.

"Damn blabber mouth unicorns." She mumbled trying to get her face to cool down.

"Why you gotta tease me so much sugarcube?" She asked turning to find Twilight close to her face.

"Do you think I'm teasing you?"

(End Flashback)

"Captain? Are you ok?" AJ shook her head and turned to Twilight who had a worried look on her face while her own was starting to heat up.

"Yeah I'm fine, lets get this over with so we can go home." AJ stated marching forward to put some distance between her and Twilight.

'The hell was that?!' She thought as the others caught up to her.

"You sure you're ok AJ?" Twilight asked.

"I'm fine! Can we please get this over with so I can go home?!" She growled not liking the feeling in her chest at the moment while the others looked at each other.

"APPLEJACK!!!" They all turned to see a young mare sprinting towards them passing Twilight and the others as she slammed into AJ wrapping her forelegs around her neck while the two hit the ground.

"HEY! GET OFF THE CAPTAIN NOW!!" Mihail roared but was stopped as AJ raised her hoof.

"It's ok." She said in a stunned voice as flashes went off in her mind of a little filly.

"Captain?"

" I missed you sis! Where have you been!?" She cried while AJ looked stared down at her.

(Flashback)

"Applejack! Come on sis help me out with this crusade!" The filly yelled.

"Applebloom come on now, you know that I'm really busy today." She said as the fillies cheeks puffed out.

"Please AJ!"

"Fine, but afterwards I want you to start your chores that you been skippin out on to do your little crusadin." She said as the filly beamed and pulled her out towards the orchard.

(End Flashback)

"A-Applebloom?"

"You know me! You remember!" The mare cried squeezing AJ while tears streamed down her face while she had a huge smile on her face.

"AJ?" They turned to see a large red stallion looking at her before he smiled at her and trotted towards her pulling her into a hug.

"You're finally home." He choked on a sob as the mare blinked looking up at his smiling face.

(Flashback)

"BIG MAC! Where the hay are you!?"

"I'm over here sugarcube!" She turned to see him walking towards her from the fields.

"Mac, what's this I hear about you talkin to some mare named Vinyl Scratch?" She asked as he scoffed.

"I just talked to her AJ, what's the big deal?" He asked glaring at her as she snarled.

"The big deal is that I wanted to meet her Mac! I just wanted to meet the mare that my brother has his eye on is all." She said as he rolled his eyes.

"Why?"

"Are you kiddin me? She's one my favorite artists." She said as he blinked watching her glare at him.

"I didn't think you were into that kind of music AJ."

"Well when my brother has it thumpin all through the house I usually find myself noddin my head to it. Now, you're to bring her here so I can get a autograph and talk to her." She said as he laughed shaking his head.

"Alright sugarcube, I'll bring her by if she ain't busy." He smiled as she beamed at him.

"Thanks big brother."

(End Flashback)

"Big Mac." She whispered getting a squeeze from him and felt him nod.

"It's good to have you back Applejack." He said trying to keep his emotions in but was failing miserably.

"Is that my name? Applejack?" She asked as they both stared at her confused.

"Of course it is sugarcube. Why would you ask that? And why are you talkin funny?" He asked pulling back to look at her spotting the scar on her face making his eyes widen.

"AJ what happened?" He said cupping her face.

"Don't worry about it. It's not important." She said.

"Commander?" She looked over to see Mihail and Artyom looking at her with worry.

"Sorry everyone." She said pulling back from the two and stood up.

"Twilight, where is Discord?" She asked slipping on the commanders mask.

"Um he's in the gardens serving his time in stone." She stated getting nod from her.

"I must speak to him and get home. My soldiers are eager to return home to their families." She said with a unreadable expression on her face.

"It's going to take some time and I need you to come with me to Canterlot." She said getting a nod as they turned to see a crowd of ponies walking towards them.

"Commander. Our orders?" Mihail asked bringing his weapon up along with Artyom.

"Stand down. They are no threat." She said watching them for any weapons.

"Big sis?" She looked over to see the teen looking at her with worry.

"Artyom, gather our forces and have them come to the town. I want a security detail around the town. I also want Nikolai get stock on our supplies. Mihail get your company ready, you will be my escort." She said getting a salute as he began to relay his orders to the others.

"What about me captain?" Artyom asked.

"Get you soldiers and have them help Nikolai secure anything we need." She said getting a nod from them.

"Roger that." He said as she waved her hoof at them.

"Go, you're dismissed." She said as they gave a salute before heading to carry out her orders.

"Applejack? What's going on? What are those things?" Applebloom asked.

"They are my soldiers and under my command." She said as they blinked.

"What? Since when did you join the military?" Big Mac asked confused.

"Since I woke up in a hospital with no memory or past. I found a new family that accepted me with open arms when I was but a ward of the state. I gave my everything to cause and for the motherland. If you think putting these memories in my head and having these ponies act like my family and some long lost kin will make me believe that these are my brother and sister you are sadly mistaken." She growled and rounded on Twilight.

"Take me to this Canterlot so I can go home. I have a country to defend." She said as they all looked at her shocked while she turned to Savva.

"I want you to come with me Savva." She said passing them and heading back to her soldiers as the first tank rounded the corner and disappeared heading towards the fields followed by a few other vehicles before one came up the road towards them.

The group shuffled back as he came closer till it stopped in front of them as two raised up towards the sky.

"Lets go. Get this thing ready Sasha." They heard from the inside as four of the ape things scrambled out.

"What are you doing?" Twilight asked as one turned to her a little shocked that he could understand her.

"Setting up defences for the town." He said before getting everything ready.

"What are your orders?" She asked making him turn to her.

"Are you Twilight Sparkle?" He asked as she nodded.

"To defend the town from any airborne targets that aren't ponies." He said getting a nod from her.

"I see."

"Twilight? What's going on? Where did my sister go?" Applebloom asked as the princess looked back at her.

"She's getting her forces to set up protection around the town until she can meet with princess Celestia about getting her soldiers back home. Don't worry AB maybe the princess can see about finding a way to help AJ." She said getting a nod from the teen.

"We'll get her back sugarcube." Big Mac said looking down the road to see Applejack talking to some of those apes.

"I hope so." Applebloom said.

(Hours later with AJ and Savva)

AJ sat outside on a hill while the wolf laid beside her.

"So do you believe that this is your home now?" He asked as she sighed.

"I don't know Savva, I have all these memories and feelings going around in my head. I don't know what to think." She said as he put a paw on her shoulder.

"It's gonna be fine AJ. But what if it's true?" He asked as she looked over at him and then back into the sky.

"I don't know Savva. If it's true I want to get it from this Discord that supposedly sent me to the human world." She said as he nodded.

"And the family that hugged you?"

"I'll want to connect with them. I want to know about my past and where my parents are." She said getting a nod from him.

"So you'll stay?" He asked as she nodded missing the small smile on his face.

" I wonder what life will be like here? I've gone from one battlefield to another most of my life after I was given citizenship and then joined the reformed Soviet Army and then the Spetsnaz. All my life I've been fighting one battle or another either mentally or physically." She said looking up at the darkening sky.

"What was it like? Not knowing your past I mean." He said.

"It was hard at first, I want to every doctor there was and even went to some questionable people to see if I could unlock my past but no matter what nothing helped."

"Why's that?"

"They couldn't find what was wrong with me no reason why I had amnesia. I had no injuries besides the few scrapes and bruises from where ever I fell from. If Discord is the one who sent me there, I want to know why and also thank him. I learned a lot while I was there." She smiled as she pulled out some kind of square thing from her vest.

"I will miss having cell reception though." She grinned as he looked confused.

"What is that?"

"It's a cell phone, we use it to call loved ones and friends. Well the only thing this is good for now it music." She smiled at the confused look on his face as he stared at.

"How does that tiny thing have music on it?"

"Easy, I downloaded it from the net."

"What's the net?"

"The internet? You don't have that here? I saw those machines and mining equipment when we came into your village. But now that I think about it they looked really old, like back in the 1950's era type of excavators. Hm. But anyway the internet is like a social network where you can do just about anything!" She smiled.

"Anything?"

"Just about. You can shop, talk to people from around the globe, do business and tons of other things. I'm sure our world wouldn't really know what to do if we lost the internet for a while. It just makes things a lot more easier." She said flipping through her phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Looking for a song."

"Oh?"

"Da. I have over 4000 songs on here. Oh here we go." She smiled singing with the artist.

(Katyusha)

"Apple trees and pear trees went into blooming,

River mists began a floating flow,

She came out and went ashore, Katyusha!

On the lofty bank, on the steeply shore.

She came out and sang she song about

Her young friend, the bluish eagle from steppe

All about the one she dearly loved,

The one whose letters she treasured and kept.

Hey, a song, the song of the young girl,

Fly and go after the bright Sun,

Find a soldier on the distant borderlands

Say hello from Katya waiting long for him.

Let him remember the young and simple maiden,

Let him hear the song she now sings,

Let him protect his Motherland for sure,

And their love Katyusha will protect."

She smiled as the song came to an end and looked over at the stunned face of Savva. She cocked her head and smiled at little.

"What? Is something on my face?" She asked while he smiled and shook his head.

"No, you have a beautiful singing voice. Katyusha." He smiled as she blushed.

"I'm anything but pure." She sighed looking away.

"Maybe but you are a little one." He laughed as she puffed her cheeks out blushing harder.

"I AM NOT!"

"Compared to me you are."

"EVERYONE IS SMALL COMPARED TO YOU!" She yelled as his laughter filled the air.

In a patch of bushes Applebloom looked on with worry.

"Twi ain't gonna like this." She mumbled as she continued to watch as her sister laughed with the strange wolf as some strange music continued to play.

(Next day)

That morning Twilight was looking all over the place for Applejack. She had asked everypony around before she sighed and decided to take flight and see if she could spot her from the air.

'Where could she be? None of her soldiers would say and nopony else has seen her.' She thought while she flew over the apple farm spotting that wolf that left last night with Applejack carrying apples.

'What in the world?' She banked right and dived towards the ground before coming to a stop near the house.

"Hey Twilight." She turned to see Applebloom carrying some apples towards the cellar.

"Hey AB, have you seen AJ?" She asked as the teen nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, she's in the west field helping Big Mac." She said getting a excited look from Twilight.

"So she remembers?!" She asked as AB shook her head.

"I don't really think so, if she does she don't believe that her memories are her own till she can talk to Discord. Did you send that letter to the princess?"

"Yes I had Spike send it last night. I went to see if I could talk to Applejack about some things but I couldn't find her anywhere." She sighed as Applebloom schooled herself.

"Oh, well I don't know she went either. She came by here this morning and asked if we needed help on the farm. The wolf, Savva offered to help to so we put them to work." She shrugged getting a nod from Twilight.

"Ok well I need to talk to her about her soldiers." She said.

"It's weird seeing her in charge of those things." AB said before continuing on her way to the cellar.

Twilight made her way over to the west fields where she saw Big Mac carrying some apples towards her.

"Mornin sugarcube. What are you doin over here this early?"

"Just came by to talk to AJ about her troops and what we can do with them."

"Ah well she's in the back rows finishin up. She's a lot faster at this then I remember." He said before going on his way.

Twilight walked through the trees with a smile on her face remembering her times here with Applejack just spending time together. She blushed a little spotting the mare who had her short mane in a bun as she slammed her hooves into one the trees.

"Applejack." Twilight called to her as the mare turned back and nodded to her trotting up to her.

"Hello princess." She said huffing a bit from the days work.

"Hey AJ, listen I need to talk to you about your soldiers." She said getting a nod from the mare as she took off her uniform top showing a stripped blue and white shirt under it.

"Did something happen?" She asked going over to a cup of water and poured it over her head letting out a sigh.

"Been a while since I worked a farm, now what is it you wanted to talk about with my troops?" She asked and looked over at the blushing face of Twilight.

"Princess?"

"......"

"Princess Twilight."

"........"

"TWILIGHT!!!"

"Wow."

"What?"

"Nothing. Anyway I wanted to ask you about your supplies and such for your troops." She said as AJ grunted.

"We need fuel and we're running out of food, and I can tell you that stuff you guys had isn't going to work. Humans don't eat hay. We need meat and vegetables, we can't survive on greens forever." She said as Twilight blinked.

"So your omnivores?"

"Yes. I can understand if you are uncomfortable with it being herbivores and all. But the fact is unless you have some meat then we'll have to hunt." She said sitting down to rest easier while Twilight was in thought.

"I see, well we have a few griffons here in town so I can ask them where they get their meat from and charge the treasury for payment to outfit your soldiers to keep them fed." She looked over at Applejack who nodded.

"Ok, well that solves that problem. Anything else?" She asked getting back up and heading back to work missing Twilight's wince.

"Um no. Do you need any help before I head back to get things in order?" She asked as AJ turned back looking her over.

"Take care of the men first and if I'm not done by the time you are come back. We still have six rows to do." She said getting a smile from the mare as she shot into the sky.

"What is it about that mare that makes me feel all weird." She said to herself watching the mare disappear behind the trees.

A few hours later Applejack sat down to rest on the last of the rows of trees just as Twilight landed.

"Sorry it took so long Applejack, but everythings been taken care of." She said as AJ smiled over at her.

"Thanks. I'm sure my men really appreciate it." She said getting a smile from Twilight.

"Well I still need some help so if you want to help go ahead and find you a tree." She said while Twilight gave a big smile.

"Ok!"

By the time they were done it was almost time for lunch.

"Commander!" AJ looked up to see Mihail walking up to her.

"Hey Misha." AJ smiled while he groaned.

"Oh come on captain, you're not gonna start that again are you?" He asked running his hand through his hair as she just grinned.

"Misha? I thought his name is Mihail?" Twilight asked as the man groaned.

"It's a pet name for me that she's given me a while back when we were still junior spetsnaz." He sighed as AJ grinned wider.

"Anyway what do you need Mihail?" AJ asked.

"Ma'am there's a Princess Celestia that arrived here earlier and wants to speak with you along with a Princess Luna." He said getting a nod from her.

"Very well, finally we're getting somewhere. Lets go Mihail." She stated grabbing her top and rifle before following Mihail grabbing Savva along the way.

'I wonder what they're going to say to me about their pitiful soldiers that we wiped out.' AJ thought.
