Tanktoons
Chapter 1: New Server
Load Full Story Next ChapterMS-1 woke up in his garage. He looked to the other tanks who were still asleep. SU-85, T-34, IS were at their garage doors reading the World of Tanks news. MS-1 eavesdropped on his comrades.
"They added a new server!" SU 85 shouted excitedly before being being hit by T-34 .
"Keep it down!" T-34 whispered. "You might wake up Object 270! you know how he doesn't like being woken up!"
"Ok! Ok comrade, apparently, the server is called Equestria," SU 85 said. "It sounds like a place from a TV show that T-26 and BT-2 watched the night before."
"What TV show?" IS asked.
"I don't know IS, it seems really childish though," SU 85 replied.
"Well, try it!" IS urged. "I want you two to take the lead, I'll stay here until all of our comrades wake up!"
"Yes sir!" SU 85 and T-34 saluted before going to the new server.
Server: Equestria
T-34 and SU 85 spawned in a map they never battled in before. They saw no signs of war, not yet at least.
"I don't think we are the only ones here." T-34 pointed at 6 colorful equines walking down the street. "Shoot them!"
"They are SO CUTE!" SU 85 refused.
"You've shot many things before!" T-34 argued. "You've shot a Grille when it asked for mercy and you are our best sniper!"
"Well, actually Object 268 is our best sniper, he does more damage than me!" SU replied.
"Object 268 misses his shots more than you do and gets himself immobilized half the time!" T-34 said.
"Be quiet!" SU 85 placed his barrel to T-34's mouth and then pointed to the 6 equines who were now looking around the place.
"Let's get back to our spawn point." T-34 rolled back pulling SU 85 with him.
At their spawn point, IS had arrived with a few other tanks. TOG II, Waffentrager auf. E100 was there along with Waffentrager auf. Pz.IV and AT 8 who had tried out the new server. T-50 rolled out of the crowd to T-34 and SU 85.
"Word got around about this new server," T-50 said with a smile. "Soon we will be able to hold battles here!"
The tanks rolled out on their way to explore the new server's one and only map. Waffentrager auf. E100 and Rhm. Borsig Waffentrager rolled out together following Panther. Pz. 38nA and his Tiger I's followed them. Chaffee, Hellcat and T1 Cunningham used their minimaps and went towards a nearby town to get some supplies.
IS, T-34, SU 85, T50 and T-28 along with the other Russian tanks went in different directions. Some tanks were already exploring the new map named Equestria. Hellcat and Chaffee looked at their maps and their jaws dropped when they saw its size. It was a whole continent! Hellcat rolled forward towards the town with Chaffee and Cunningham behind him. They were at a bridge when they saw a bright colored unicorn who stared at them. Chaffee fired a shot at her and missed to ignite a fire on one of the buildings. Hellcat glared at his friend who simply shrugged and smiled innocently.
"What shell did you use?" Hellcat asked.
"High Explosive," Chaffee replied.
"That might explain the fire," T1 Cunningham said.
Hellcat continued to rumble forward and saw more equines of different colors. Some had wings, some had horns and one had both of them accompanied by 5 others who had golden accessories which began to glow. The glow geban to grow brighter and brighter that forced the tanks to shield their eyes. T1 Cunningham sent an SOS signal to the other tanks. Leopard, Luchs and T-50 arrived first and saw the scene from a hill who called in more of the tanks. The glow was now so bright it then unleashed a rainbow colored beam fired at Hellcat's metal armor patches . The shot bounced from the patch and went straight into the air.
"That one bounced!" Pz.38nA teased.
"Work on your damned aim!" Cromwell shouted, firing a shot in the middle of the 6 equines who were thrown by the blast.
The tanks on the hill laughed at the 6 equines. T-34 laughed so hard he fell on his side, AMX 12 had tears in his eyes from laughter and Pz. 38nA laughed for the first time along with his Panzers. The 6 equines stared confusingly at the tanks who still were laughing at the explosion that nearly killed them. The 6 walked back to a tree and entered it drawing more laughter from the tanks.
3 Hours before
Twilight walked towards the Everfree Forest with the other elements. She then heard faint voices coming from a bush.
"Object 268 misses his shots more than you do and gets himself immobilized half the time!" one said.
The conversation then ended. What is an Object 268? Twilight thought.
"Did you girls hear that?" Twilight turned to the others.
"Uh, no," Applejack responded. "What is it?"
"I heard a faint voice saying something about an Object 268," Twilight responded. "It came from those bushes."
Rainbow Dash flew into the air to try to spot the pony from the air. Instead of seeing a pony, she saw two creatures barreling down the forest path. Their color matched the leaves of the trees making it hard to make out the shape from above. To her, they were a bit distorted. She continued to follow until the tree canopies were too thick to see through. She flew back down to the others.
"I saw two large creatures moving deeper into the forest," Rainbow Dash sighed. "Their colors seemed to match the forest colors so I couldn't tell what they looked like."
"That's okay Rainbow, we can always follow them," Twilight said.
"I don't think we can," Rainbow responded. "They went deep into the forest, I think they were beyond Zecora's house."
"They are large creatures right? They must be slow so we can probably catch up to them." Twilight continued to walk into the forest.
The six soon saw a long line of markings with rectangular lines coming across them making a pattern of sorts.
"These must be their footprints," Twilight said to the others.
The Mane Six followed the tracks until they began to fade.
"How are these fading?" Twilight asked. "There is no cause of it!"
Soon, the tracks disappeared. The Mane Six walked back to the library discussing about the creatures.
"They are rectangular right?" Twilight asked Rainbow.
"Yes! They are rectangular," Rainbow responded.
"Then, how are the tracks we found so thin compared to your description?" Twilight took out a book on Everfree Forest Creatures.
"I don't know, maybe they have small legs? I have no idea. I told you, their color matches the forest so I couldn't make out the shapes very well," Rainbow replied.
"Well, the tracks didn't smell fresh at all," Applejack said. "It smelled normal, above it, smelled like smoke as if there was a small fire."
"Well, we surely didn't see burnt leaves or plants," Twilight replied. "What creature has the ability to do that?"
Twilight looked through the books about the Creatures of the Everfree Forest. None matched the description of what they saw.
"Should we send a letter to Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked.
"Twilight, don't worry, these creatures are probably super dangerous." Pinkie laughed as she sat on Twilight's head. "Not all the strange creatures we see are evil."
"She's right Twilight, you need to relax," Rarity said. "You don't always have to send a letter to the princess every time we discover a new creature. And plus, how dangerous can they be?"
"These creatures might be gentle." Fluttershy patted Angel.
The ponies read for a few hours until a scream was heard followed by an explosion and a rattling sound.
Present
The Mane Six were confused, how did the Elements of Harmony not subdue the strange metallic creature? The creatures also shot an orange-yellow beam not as bright as the one from the Elements of Harmony but was devastating. The blast threw them in different directions, it felt like they were just bucked by an invisible Applejack. The ponies were bruised and exhausted. Fluttershy tended her friends and bandaged their wounds and tended to her own. Outside the creatures were barreling down the street shooting at some targets.
T-34 and T-50 barreled down the streets to see more of their tanks hanging out around the map of Equestria. T-34 and T-50 went into battle mode with the other tanks and started a 15 vs. 15 standard battle. The Russian tanks were pitted against the German Panzers. T-34 hid behind a building and saw a Panther sticking out its armor. T-34 fired a shot and penetrated the armor and killed Panther's driver. T-50 flanked around and took out a Wespe SPG before getting immobilized by Marder 38t. KV 2 shot Panzer IV in the ammo rack exploding him. Around them, ponies ran away from the carnage screaming. The score was 6:4 and T-34 flanked the Panzers and went over the hills to snipe the VK 16.02 Leopards trying to eliminate their SU 26 artillery tanks. SU 85 fired at Panther and killed him. The score tied at 8:8. Tiger II rolled out of a bush and shot KV 2's turret ring while a VK 36.01 H shot his tracks. Tiger P fired a shot at KV 13 and killed him. IS fired a few shots at Tiger II before getting immobilized. IS was about to be shot by Nashorn who exploded after being hit by an SU 8 SPG. Tiger II was low on health and his loader was hit, T-34 fired at the engine which began to smoke. Tiger II coughed and coughed, he was soon on fire and exploded in a ball of flame. With that, the battle ended and the destroyed tanks were repaired and the tanks could continue hanging out.
When the battle was over, T-34 looked around to see that the damage to buildings weren't repaired. He saw the same six equines looking at the tanks in shock.
"What? You have never seen a battle before?" T-34 chuckled. "It was a friendly battle do not fret!"
"How could you kill your own kind without guilt?" a lavender unicorn asked.
"I'm sorry, I do not know you. " T-34 went over to Maus who was eating Swiss cheese.
"My name is Twilight Sparkle," the lavender unicorn said. "These are my friends, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Who are you?"
"My name is T-34," T-34 answered. "I have a lot of friends, the small ones over there is T-26, the other one is BT 2, the third is T-50, the large ones are KV 1, KV 2, KV 13 and IS. The mediums gathered in the town square is T-28, T-34-85 Rudy, T-34-85 and
A-44."
"You sure do have lots of friends!" Pinkie said looking down at his face whilst standing on his turret. "Do you know those other ones too? I know everypony here in Ponyville! Speaking of which, I didn't give you a welcome to Ponyville party yet! It's very fun."
"I'm sure that won't be necessary," T-34 said. "My friends and I have fun by battling each other."
The ponies gasped.
"What? Battling is how we have fun, we get rewards from it too," T-34 said.
"How can you kill your own kind though?" Twilight asked.
"They get repaired and come back," T-34 explained. "If you haven't noticed we are machines, not organisms like you."
"Still, how can you like battling though? It doesn't make any sense," Twilight said.
"Well, that is your problem." Hellcat joined the conversation. "We like to do what we do, and plus we were built to do it."
"My comrade is right. Now if you'll excuse me, I want to have a chat with my friends." T-34 went over to T-28 and T34-85 Rudy who were racing against each other. Hellcat went to look for Chaffee and Cunningham. Twilight sent a letter to Princess Celestia about the new creatures.
