Chapter 1: Cold War


Cold War

Vote El Presedente Or else.

Chapter 1 – Cold War.

El Presidente Sir Three USSR Battleships are circling our waters threatening to declare war!“ Stated General Penultimo.

“For the Last time General. I shall have no partake in the Cold war whatsoever, both sides are looking for easy influence on countries and both are superpowers who will try to use countries as a scapegoat for their evil super power schemes! “ Argued Juan Romero.

Shall I send Tropico’s Navy to intercept them? “  The general now putting on a white admiral hat.

Let’s just pray our navy will be capable of overthrowing a few Russian battleships.“ Said Juan Romero fearfully.

“I shall send them out first thing tomorrow morning on an offensive strike. “ Penultimo explained.

“General also do something with those rebels, they’ve been building up slowly ever since this whole ordeal as been going on. “ Juan Commanded.

Penultimo nods and takes his leave out of El Presidente’s office. Juan was thinking thoroughly on this. A Benevolent Dictator’s worst fears were to get overthrown from office and killed due to the rebels, secret USSR or US agents, terrorist attacks, assassinations, et cetera. Most of which planned by the USSR for aligning pro-US politics. Ever since then USSR was giving them the cold stare, but El Presidente didn’t want to make an alliance with the US even though he was elected from Tropico’s leading capitalist parties and overall didn’t promote communism on the Island. Enforcing social safety by giving pensioners and the unemployed grants to live off on therefore allowing his people to enjoy life to its fullest by living in a dependent country.

But things weren’t going to plan sure his people loves him and he wins mostly all elections with a landslide victory. But Russia had intentions to wipe Juan off the face of the earth and place a Communist president in his place, He always felt sickened towards the Communist’s thinking. This happened a while back when the Communist party of Tropico went on a rampage through the city causing a large riot and uprising. The military was able to keep them under control with many of the Communist party union leaders arrested or sent into exile to nearby Cuba.

But as Time passed things were getting less violent until today where the USSR plans to invade Tropico for its political gains.

As Juan thought about his past Day shifted slowly into Night as the small island nation of Tropico descended into night and slumber its peacefulness was interrupted by a news report on television where the weather reporters said that a “Flash Cyclone“ Was going to hit Tropico later that night and advised all people to stay indoors and reinforce their doors and windows , This was amazing since the only early predicaments about it could be made a few hours before it actually hit hence the name ‘ Flash ‘.

Tropico’s leader Juan ignored this comment knowing that the Palace was made out of reinforced Russian concrete the building was famous for surviving the most violent of storms, Juan knew he was going to have a Bad time sleeping tonight. As he walked onto bed he heard a loud blast coming from nearby, rushing to a nearby window to see what’s going on.

There he pictured it, what looks like the Tropican 2nd Artillery Unit firing a single shell into the sea where Russian warships in the distance were shifting course away from what appears to be the cyclone as he heard the men shout from far down below.

“Fired on Co-ordinates X47, Y08 where’s the impact?! “ Said the Lieutenant who were pressing the Firing crew for answers.

“The shell never hit anything! It’s as if the cyclone just shot it elsewhere out of its course!” Said the frustrated fire crew.

…Else Where…

Princess Celestia was busy reading one of the friendship reports send by Twilight Sparkle, as she was drawing near the end of the letter she heard a large blast nearby as one of the walls in her private chambers were blown up

*BOOM*

Debris flying everywhere, thankfully Celestia managed to cast a shield ward spell as the debris bounced off her shield as if they were made of rubber. After the chaos ended five guards including Luna and Shining Armor ran into her Chambers.

“Princess! Are you alright?” Shining Armor shouted with a Furious but worried voice as the guards scramble the princess lying on the ground.

“Do not fear My little Ponies, I am safe, but I’ve yet to known what has caused that and how dangerous it could be.”  Said Celestia while wincing at her destroyed bedroom while brushing away shards of metal off her scratched skin.

Back to Tropico , El Presidente's Bed Room

Juan Romero was tossing and turning , cursing the storm under his breath. He was suddenly fully awakened by a large thud on his door , He got out of bed and approached the mahogany wood doors , he was half way to the doors until it burst open a black vast shadow consuming the whole room , engulfing it as Juan stood there in the middle with his pajamas on , he suddenly braced what was happening with a large yell as he started losing his grip on reality and blacked out.

He Suddenly woke up back in his office ... strange and he was wearing his normal attire , a green general's uniform with his green Castro hat and for some weird reason he was smoking on his pipe . It took him a moment to register the information he just went through. Blacking out in his bedroom and waking up in his office dressed up and out of his pajamas was very weird indeed.

He looked at his desk and saw two items which he didn't place there before a map of some sort , and a compass , he took a look at the map and examined it . What he saw made him laugh it was a child like map of a nation or kingdom that has been drawn up he laughed and admired the sweetness of it , maybe a child asked a guard to give this to me he thought.

But that still didn't explain the compass.

He ignored it and decided to continue outside before he managed to take a glance outside out of his window.

There he saw everything his proud nation's buildings standing tall but what came up next was about to give him a heart attack.

Wheres the water he thought to himself mouth open.

He jogged back to the desk to pick up the map and ran to the palace balcony.

He inspected the map and his surroundings.

He then compared it with the surroundings outside the City.

... Are you kidding me ...

Juan began running down the Palace's stairs and back onto the street where citizens also where looking at the change , they were flabbergasted , one day living on an island in the middle of the Caribbean now living on a plain wide open land that looked like a fairy tale . But there were more important things to worry about , He rushed to the nearest radio station and ordered to broadcast a message for everyone to meet in front of the palace to check if anyone's gone missing , He also announced that there will be a temporary martial law issue in order to get a hold of the situation , there had to be a curfew set and anyone caught outside would be taken to prison to spend the night there.

Everything was in Order no one wandered beyond the city's limits there were farms on the outer suburbs of the town and there were only a few people missing , what appeared to be most of the dock workers and fishermen figures they might have been trading with other states and may have not been there at the time , but he still was going to send a search party after them just to be sure.

But then six intruders were standing out they were walking side by side on the road to the palace with a small group of ... a certain animal he wasn't sure of , they were four legged animals wearing armor. He stopped staring at the window and rushed out calling three of his guards to follow him to inspect these creatures he's also seen a few in the town while he was inspecting the area so they must be intelligent hopefully he thought as he grabbed his .45 M1911 colt off the desk in his office.

1507 Palace Drive

The six elements braved the danger of coming here , as they walked down the street , metal boxes that were moving stopped and bipedal aliens came out , stared and gasped at them , alien children would stare and run in horror , some of the aliens wearing weird green uniforms and some with blue and white uniforms started following them walking very slowly , Twilight was glad Celestia sent her some of the royal guards to escort them here , the place was giving her the creeps with all the aliens following until one of them in the green uniforms stopped them pointing one of his arms out to indicate a stop.

The alien had a metallic object slung over his shoulder , His skin was pale and he said something incoherent.

"State your business here what ever you are if you can speak." Yelled the grunt.

"Ummm hello, can we meet your king?" Twilight whimpered slightly.

English? the soldier thought to himself. He was lucky most of Tropico knew English and that only an unlucky few didn't know the language , He for once was lucky he actually knew English and then he thanked god that he actually went to high school instead of slacking around as a conscript.

"Yes follow me, and ask your guards to stay here." He pointed towards the small group of armored ponies.
