The morning had started off with a morning bugle call waking up the occupants of the base as well as the members of the Apple family at 4:30 pm even if it was unintentional but never the less they had a routine to stick to, Johnny and his two siblings were doing their workout routines starting with a few stretches, jumping jacks, push ups, sit ups, planks, squats and finally a run from the control tower to the front gate for about an hour.

''So 'Huff' how come the other three aren't here with us?'' Vick asked Johnny who didn't have a drop of sweat on him.

''They're still sleeping.'' Johnny says with an annoyed look on his face. ''Those guys are heavier sleepers than Americans on a lazy Sunday, I guess they're still stuck on Moscow time which is why I can't get them up.'' He tells Vick and Tyler who is wiping the sweat from his face.

''So what's next Mr.J?'' Vick asks in a Harley Quin like voice getting a chuckle from Tyler and an annoyed look from Johnny.

''Moving on.'' Johnny says with a sigh and continues. ''As you two know we've been granted element based powers by this universes version of god, have any of you two been practicing on how to use them or control them?'' Johnny asks looking at the two.

The twins shook their heads nervously telling him that they never got around to it as they were preoccupied with different things.

''So you two have no idea how to control them?'' He asked them to which the two looked at him with a nervous smile prompting him to sigh with exasperation. ''Welp I'm not doing any better, seeing as I can't use my fire abilities for no longer than a few minutes before getting tired.'' He says igniting his right hand a bit.

''So what are we going to do?'' Tyler asked.

Johnny just stood still trying to come up with how to figure out how to control their elemental powers but came up with nothing that would help them.

"Honestly I got nothing, I can't think of anything." Johnny said catching the two off guard.

''You mean you can't come up with a plan, that's a first.'' Vick says getting an eye roll from him.

"Nobody's perfect alright!'' Johnny says with an annoyed look.

Tyler started thinking before he thought of just the person or pony that could help them.

"Twilight!" He shouted with a smile on his face.

"You mean that shitty ass vampire book series? What does that have to do with our dilemma?'' Johnny says giving his brother the 'are you serious' look.

"No, god no I'm not talking about that abomination series on paper I'm talking about Twilight Sparkle, you know the princess of friendship.'' Tyler says not wanting to remember the Twilight books. "If anyone can help us it's her.''

"Yeah, if anyone can help us it's princess bookworm!" Vick says making Tyler laugh.

"Don't let Twilight hear you say that Vick." Tyler tells her.

"Can we focus right now, we need to learn how to control our abilities and that Twilight girl is our best bet here. So enough fooling around.'' Johnny says looking at the two.

''Okay so we ask Twilight for some tips on how to use our magic but what about the Russians?'' Tyler asked.

''We take them with us, we need to keep an eye on them for the time being.'' Johnny says walking in the direction of the house.

"I don't know why you're so worried about them, they seem pretty laid back and the young one seems a tad bit shy.'' Vick says taking a sip from her camel pack.

''J's just paranoid that they might find his mad science lab or go poking around the base.'' Tyler says taking a sip from his camel pack as well.

"sigh Lets just get ready." Johnny said not wanting to continue the conversation.

The three began walking towards the house to get themselves ready for their meeting with Twilight, entering the house Johnny wakes up the three Russians while the twins head upstairs to shower.

The three mercs heading to Twilights castle in a Gurkha F5 with Johnny as the driver, Vick riding shotgun and Tyler riding in back with the three Russians who were still in their tank uniforms and only had their sidearms and the same went for the twins who were in civilian clothes and Johnny did as well but had his helmet with him, the twins clothes consisted of blue or black pants, combat boots and a grey short sleeve shirt with Tyler wearing his black jacket. The six sat in complete silence with the exception of Dimitri muttering something about a bottle, during their drive they had passed by Sweet Apple Acres and the youngest of the three was looking at the fruit bearing trees with awe, Anton had never seen so many apple trees outside of books, Moscow never had the weather to grow many plants so seeing healthy green plants was refreshing.

"Beautiful isn't it.'' Tyler asked him only to get a confused look from the young Russian.

"Private Anton doesn't speak English child nor is he very social do to his shy personality.'' Dimitri tells him.

''Hmm thanks for the heads up colonel.'' Tyler responded.

"But yes I agree that it is a site to behold Molodoy.'' He says getting a confused look from Tyler.

''What?'' Tyler asked.

''Molodoy is Russian for young one.'' Dimitri explained.

"Oh.'' Tyler said before thinking about having to learn how to use and control his magic and thought long and hard about it but was also a little excited that Twilight was going to teach them how to control their magic.

Arriving at the castle of friendship the six exit the transport with Dimitri cracking his neck a bit, the group walk up to the door Johnny not seeing an intercom or doorbell of any kind he gives the large door four hard knocks and waits for someone to open the door which didn't take long as it was Barb who answered the door and had a faint blush upon seeing Johnny.

''H-hello guys, do you need something?'' Barb asked nervously.

''Yes we are in need of Twilights assistance with something we're having trouble with miss Barbra.'' Johnny asked in what Tyler and Vick would describe as soldier mode.

''Sheesh relax Johnny we're just asking for help, we're not doing some black ops mission in Bolivia again.'' Tyler said making Johnny give him an unamused look.

''You'll have to forgive my brothers Barb, they tend to act like boobs at times.'' Vick with a nervous smirk.

''You should see how the others are at times.'' Barb says to Vick before casting a small glance at Johnny. ''Well come on in, I'll go get Twilight.'' She says letting them in.

Upon entering the castle the six were impressed but Johnny kept a straight face however the other five were in awe of the castle interior, Tyler and Vick were close to letting their inner child take over out but composed themselves while the Russians looked at the crystalline walls with awe wondering how someone could make a whole castle out of crystal.

''That is very high ceiling.'' Dimitri says looking at the ceiling.

''Я вижу отражение на полу. (I can see reflection on floor.)'' Anton says looking down.

''Я вижу отражение на стенах. (I can see reflection on walls.)'' Boris says looking to a wall.

The six follow the dragoness to what looked like a study of some kind which impressed Johnny with its size alone as well as the amount of books that lined the walls.

''Wow that's a lot of books!'' Johnny thought as he looked around the room.

''Hey hey don't nerd out on me Johnny boy, we need to focus at the task at hand here.'' Wrath said snapping Johnny back in focus.

''Twilight the guys need your help with something.'' Barb says to her sister who's reading a book.

The outfit she was wearing consisted of grey dress pants, a white button up long sleeve with a purple vest over it and a pair of reading glasses to complete the look, Johnny didn't want to admit it but it gave her a cute librarian look.

''Huh? okay I'll get it later.'' Twilight says not looking up from her book.

"Hey Johnny boy remind you of anyone?'' Wrath says making Johnny's left eye twitch a bit.

''I do Not do that Wrath." Johnny tells him.

''Ho oh yes you do, yes you do don't even try that buddy.'' Wrath replies.

''Hey Tyler remind you of anyone?'' Vick whispers to her brother.

''Shh he'll hear you Vick.'' Tyler responds with a smirk not knowing he heard them.

''Told you." Wrath says making Johnny pinch the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

"Twilight you have some visitors.'' Barb said trying to get her sisters attention but had no luck. ''Sigh I hate it when she does this.'' Barb say facepalming.

''Here let me try.'' Tyler asked her. Moving close to the lavender alicorn knew what to say to get the studious mare to snap her out of it. ''Hey Twilight somepony spilled tea on your first edition 'History of Equestria' book.'' After Tyler had said that all the color had drained from Twilight's body.

"Nooo!!'' She screamed looking like she had just witnessed a terrible crime. ''Where's the book, I need paper towels!?'' She said frantically looking the for book in question.

Everyone who was witnessing the scene in front of the were confused while others (I.E Tyler, Vick and Barb) were trying to hold in their laughter.

''Relax Twilight we're just trying to get your attention.'' Tyler tells her with Twilight giving him a miffed expression.

''You couldn't have tried getting my attention some other way.'' She asked in a annoyed tone.

''Well we could have but this was more entertaining.'' He said in a matter of fact tone. ''But on a more serious note we need your help with something.''

''Oh? what do you need help with?'' Twilight asked with interest in her voice.

''Well we were wondering if you could help us with our magic, since non of us have any experience with this sort of thing.'' Tyler asked.

Twilight's mood had increased tenfold as she let out a squeal of excitement at the prospect of teaching humans how to use magic.

''Come on we have much to learn!!" Twilight says grabbing Tyler by the wrist with the others following.

The six were gathered in a large empty room with Twilight who had a bunch of quills and parchments for note taking, the Russians were off to the side sitting in chairs that Barb brought in for them, Boris brought out a deck of cards from his pocket and handed some to Dimitri, Anton took out a small notepad with a pencil and began to draw.

''Okay you three, first things first is you have to familiarize yourselves with your elemental magic so lets begin the basics.'' Twilight says getting them ready. ''We'll start with concentration first so we can see how you three fair, seeing as how you three have never had magic before this could take some time before wee move on to step two.''

(3 hours later)

The three mercs weren't able to make much, Johnny kept adding too much power behind his attack which would cause him to be exhausted from using too much magic, Tyler couldn't make much than a few small shards of ice appear in his hand and Vick either put too much or too little magic into her attacks and had trouble keeping herself from unintentionally shocking either Twilight or Tyler.

''Come on guys, you'll never get your magic under control if you don't focus. Johnny you're putting too much magic into your efforts, Tyler you need to put more effort into it and Vick you need to focus more.'' Twilight tells them but then looked at the time and saw that they had been at this for three hours. ''Woah! I had no idea that I spent that long with you guys, I have to go see my friends at the spa soon.'' She says before looking to them. ''We can continue this some time tomorrow guys, until then why don't you see the town.'' She tells them walking out of the room.

The Captain let out a sigh and began walking toward the door with the others in tow into town.

''So what now?'' Vick asked.

''We can just look around the town, I'm going to find Scootaloo.'' Tyler said walking off.

''I'm gonna go talk to that Twilight girl.'' Johnny says as he begins to walk then stops. ''Oh before I forget.'' He says reaching into his pocket and fishing out his bit bag. ''Here Dimitri catch.'' He says tossing it to him. ''There's some money in there so you three can grab a bite or something.''

Dimitri felt the weight of the bag, it had a bit of weight to it meaning it had a large amount inside which begged the question. why?

''Why so much coin Captain?'' Dimitri asked him in a confused tone.

''I have something I need to take care of and you and your crew might as well familiarize yourselves with the town, if I remember correctly this town has a bar that you can stop at and mingle with the locals.'' He tells the tank commander.

Dimitri's curiosity was piqued at the mention of a bar, it made him wonder what this worlds alcohol was like and it was not everyday one gets to try alcohol from a different universe. he then divided the money in the bag for them to have the same amount each and to go see the town since Anton and Boris probably wanted to see the town.

''Come comrades. let us see what this small town has to offer.'' Dimitri said with his two companions following.

Johnny watched the Russians go out the door before he turned to Barb who decided to wait for him.

''Hey kid?'' Johnny asked.

"Hmm?'' Barb asked with a small blush.

''Do you have a way to send a message to Celestia? I have something I want to talk to her about.'' Johnny asked.

''Yeah I have two ways, one is through text and the other is only for emergencies since we hardly use it anymore since the creation of cellphones.'' Barb explains.

''What's the other one?'' Johnny asks with curiosity.

''I send the message by dragon fire, it's a special spell the princess taught me to send her messages back then.'' Barb explains.

''How does it work?'' He asked.

''Well I just take a parchment or a piece of paper, write a message and ignite it with my fire and the message is sent directly to princess Celestia or princess of my choosing.'' She explains to the captain.

''Hmm do you think you can give me a demonstration?'' He asked the dragoness.

Barb proceeded to write a random message on a piece of paper before sending it to her sister with a small puff of green fire burning the paper to ashes and said ashes going out the window.

''Interesting.'' Johnny said watching the ashes leave. ''How long can you expect a reply back?'' He asked the dragoness.

''It depends on the severity of the situation and color of the ribbon I use with the note. if I use a red ribbon the message is standard but if I use colors like blue or purple with purple meaning an immediate response and blue meaning a something dangerous is happening and somepony could get hurt.'' Barb explains to the captain who took in the information carefully.

It didn't take long before the reply came back and Barb showed him and to see a way to get messages out in such a way was interesting to say the least.

''So what do you need to ask princess Celestia?'' Barb asked getting another parchment for the message ready.

''Well if you really must know I want to speak to her in regards of the safety of this town seeing as how it has little to no security, I wanted to see if it is possible for me to request an increase of some additional guards with a maybe fifty of my combat drones to help keep the town safe so another incident like that hostage situation doesn't happen again.'' Johnny explained.

''That does make sense but you might want to run that with mayor Mare at the town hall as well.'' Barb said.

Barb wrote down what Johnny wanted to ask the princess and sent the message.

''So what now?'' Johnny asked.

''I can make us some coffee or tea if you'd like.'' Barb asked him.

''Tea please, I hate coffee.'' He said fishing out his phone from his pocket and looking though some notes.

(Ponyville POV Tyler)

'I had been walking from Twilight's castle and in the cobblestone streets of Ponyville for a short while taking in the view of the town. I still find it hard to believe that I'm in the mlp universe and an anthro version no less, it's like I'm living a real life story!'

It didn't take long for Tyler to find the bowling ally that his girlfriend or in Tyler's case 'fillyfriend' worked at, upon entering he immediately drew the attention of a few ponies in the building.

''Crap! this whole drawing attention thing is going to take some getting used to.'' He mentally thought as he made his way to the front counter. "Excuse me can you let Scootaloo know I'm here to see her.'' He asked.

The mare at the counter looked at Tyler with surprise, she had not seen anything like him before in her life and had heard of some new creatures living in the town two days prior to her moving here and seeing one of them in the flesh is quite the shock.

''Um mam?'' Tyler said snapping her out of her thoughts.

''Oh uh, what were you saying sir?'' The mare asked.

''I asked if you could let Scootaloo know I was here.'' Tyler asked her.

''Oh I'm sorry sir but Scootaloo has doesn't work on weekends.'' The mare tells him.

''Oh okay thanks.'' Tyler thanks the counter mare and walks out the building in search for his girlfriend. ''I wonder what Vick's doing?'' He thought to himself.

(Vicks location)

Vick was going about her day relaxing in the Ponyville park sitting on a bench watching the fillies and colts play, watching the birds or just enjoying the scenery, every now and then a filly or colt would wave at her and she would wave back with a kind smile as she enjoyed her day, for some unknown reason Vick had wanted to sing and she didn't know why and chalked it off as one of those random moments and decided to close her eyes and sing the first thing that came to mind. (you can skip if you want.)

As Vick was singing some of the kids and a few parents turned their heads to the source of the singing to see Vick singing a song they've never heard before and her voice mesmerizing that others were drawn to hear the song.

Soon every filly and colt within range had gathered in front of Vick who was in her own world during the song and the parents leaned on one another and others let out sighs of content as they listened to the song.

As the song ended Vick was greeted to a wave of applause bringing her back to the world around her and looked surprised as ponies clapped for her.

''You have a very pretty voice miss!'' A small filly said to her.

''O-oh! um thank you little filly.'' Vick said sporting a blush.

''What was that song you sang miss?'' A colt asked her.

''It's called Somewhere over the Rainbow, it was written by one of my people a long time ago.'' Vick told him.

''I thought it was beautiful Vick.'' A familiar soft voice said.

Vick turned around to see Fluttershy with three bags of groceries in her arms ranging from fruits and veggies to pet feed.

''Oh hi Fluttershy how you doing today?'' Vick asked her.

''Oh I'm just fine, I'm just picking up some groceries for my home and was walking by when I heard you singing that beautiful song.'' She said giving a bit of praise making Vick blush a bit. ''Where's your brother?'' She asked.

''Oh he went to go see Scootaloo at work and I'm just wondering around looking for something to do.'' Vick explains brushing her hair over her ear.

''Oh? well if you want you can come over for some tea? I mean if you want.'' Fluttershy offered.

''You know that actually sounds nice.'' Vick said accepting her offer.

''Oh that's wonderful!'' Fluttershy says with some happiness.

''Well since we're going to the same place let me help you with your groceries.'' Vick says taking two.

''Oh you don't have to Vick.'' Fluttershy says not wanting to burden her.

''Nonsense Fluttershy it's the kind thing to do and it's what friends do for each other.'' She says as they walk to the cottage. ''Hmm I wonder what Johnny's doing.'' Vick thought as she and Fluttershy walk in small silence.

(Back to Johnny)

Barb had stars in her draconic eyes as Johnny told her of some of his missions that both he and Tyler bin on and took in every detail and was if she was getting a first draft of an action movie script and she was enjoying every second of it.

''And that's why you should always be careful of who you trust kid.'' Johnny said finishing his tale.

''Wow!'' Barb said with amazement in her voice. ''Your lives certainly aren't dull if those stories are anything to tell.''

Johnny gave a small chuckle then spoke. ''No they aren't, but we do our best to enjoy moments of peace like these and only god knows what kind of fucked up shit we face in our line of work.''

''Well I think-'' Barb was interrupted when she got the old familiar feeling of a magic letter coming through to her. ''BURP! Oh excuse me, it appears that our message received a response.'' She said as she opened the letter, her eyes widened as she read the contents. ''It appears the princess wants to hear what you have to say and will be here to soon to talk about your proposal.'' She explained.

Johnny placed his cup on the table and stretched a bit then spoke. ''Good the sooner we have this town secure the better, I'd rather not deal with another hostage situation anytime soon, this time it was easy but we might not be so lucky to come out with all of the hostages next time.'' He says a bit glumly as he remembers on how a few of his missions didn't go as planed because of unseen factors.

''Maybe it would be good for the town to have more protection.'' Barb said trying to lighten the mood a bit.

''Maybe.'' Johnny said before stretching a bit letting Barb get a small look at his toned chest through his shirt. ''You should let your sister know that the princess will be dropping by.''

Barb snaps out of her small trance as Johnny spoke to her. ''Oh um r-right!'' She replied with a small blush.

''You alright kid, you look a little red there?'' He said with a raised brow.

''Y-yes I'm fine just a little warm in here, warm really!? smooth Barbra, real smooth.'' Barb thought to herself.

Johnny wanted to question her but the situation didn't seem important enough to pursue further so he just left it as is.

Barb then sent a small letter via dragon fire to Twilight telling her Celestia was dropping by and that her presence might be needed for when she gets there.

''So we just wait or what?'' Johnny asked.

''We could tell each other about ourselves.'' Barb suggested to the Captain.

''Not much to tell about me other than being a merc kid.'' Johnny replied in a plain tone as he took another drink from his tea.

''Oh come on there has to be something you can tell about yourself, it doesn't even have to be something major.'' Barb presses on to have a conversation with him.

Johnny sighs then looks the young dragoness then finishes his tea.

''Fine you win kid.'' He says as he places his cup on the nightstand next to him. ''I wasn't always a mercenary, I'm ex military and I took pride in serving my country and I'm still using my old rank.'' He explained.

''Really wow, what part of the guard did you serve in?'' Barb asked with interest in her voice.

Johnny was about to answer when a flash of light and a audible *POP* appeared in the room they were in and acting on instinct Johnny activated his helmet which dimmed the flash a bit and pulled out his twin pistols from his jacket and pointed them at the assailant or assailants. as the flash died down Johnny got a good look at the "arrivals" to see it was non other than Twilight looking really frazzled.

''Princess Celestia's Coming?!'' She screams in panic.

Looking closer Johnny noticed that her clothes were a bit disheveled as her vest was gone and some of the buttons on her shirt weren't buttoned right and the last two buttons were left undone show off a bit of cleavage prompting him to look away much to Wrath's protest.

''Kid are you ok? you look a bit out of it.'' Johnny asked the frazzled princess.

''Am I ok?! I need to get the town ready for a royal visit!'' Twilight screams.

''Woah easy Twilight it's just a casual visit not a royal one.'' Barbra said to her sister who is still frantic.

''The girl is right, this is just a casual visit so you don't have to role out the red carpets or anything, I just need to talk to her about the security of the town.'' Johnny tells her trying to calm her down.

Twilight was still in her freak out mode so he placed two fingers in his mouth and let out a loud whistle getting her attention.

''Ow!'' both girls shout covering their ears.

''Welcome back.'' Johnny said leaning his head on his hand.

''A little warning next time cap.'' Barb said rubbing her ears.

''Noted.'' He replied then looked to Twilight. ''So are you calmed down now?'' He asked.

Twilight rubbed her ears for a few more seconds then sighed. ''Yes I've calmed down enough to think straight.'' She replied to his question.

''So how long till she-'' Johnny was cut off as the room was once again filled with a bright flash and he goes for his sidearm again but stills himself as the light and his vision comes back. before him is both princesses Celestia and her sister Luna both of which look relieved to be there.

''Finally away from the castle, even if it is for a few moments.'' Luna says to her sister.

''I agree Luna it's nice to be away from some of the nobles once in a while.'' Celestia agreed.

''Never mind.'' Johnny said.

''So what was it you wanted to talk about captain?'' Celestia asked.

Johnny began to tell the two of his concerns about the safety of the town and what he can do to keep the town safe but needed their approval.

''Hmm perhaps this would do Ponyville some good sister, the town could use more protection.'' Luna voiced her thoughts about the proposal.

Celestia however had some concerns with the letting the captain place some of his drones in the town as she didn't want her ponies thinking this was an occupation of some sort, Johnny told her she can talk to the mayor about it and can have the town have a town meeting to talk about it.

''It does sound reasonable.'' Celestia said thinking about it.

''Why don't we ask Twilight about what she thinks.'' Luna said turning her attention to the lavender alicorn.

Twilight was giving the situation some thought and voiced her opinion. ''I think it would do the town some good to have a little more security, especially since some of the town had seen the humans in action and in think some would even like the idea of having the extra protection.''

Seeing that both her former student and sister agree the party started drawing up the contract for the extra security.

''By the way where are the others captain?'' Celestia asked.

''I believe Tyler is probably on a date with that orange Pegasus girl, Vick is wondering the town and I gave the Russians some spending money for some chow.'' Johnny said surprising the two princesses.

''The lieutenant is courting loyalties sister?'' Luna asked with surprise.

''Yes for the past two days now, to be honest I think it would do both him and his sister some good to have some normal teen lives for once and I've been thinking of placing them both in the reserves so they have more time to be normal teens instead of soldiers.'' Johnny said getting nods of approval from all three princesses.

''That is actually good to hear he's found somepony to love considering all he's been through.'' Celestia said with a small but sad smile.

''Yes and hopefully the same could happen for Vick and you!'' Twilight said with a smile.

Johnny just rolled his eyes and began writing up the contract for the additional security.

(Vic's location)

Vic was in Fluttershy's cottage enjoying the tea she gave her and told each other things like things about Equestria that Vick didn't know and she told her about the animals on earth that she knew that Fluttershy would enjoy like the chinchilla which she absolutely loved cause to her they were like little balls of fluffy hamsters with the pictures that she drew for her and in return Fluttershy told her some more things or just had pleasant conversations with her.

''Oh those chinchillas are sooo adorable!'' Fluttershy said looking at the picture.

''I know I wish I had one but they take quite a bit of work to take care of and I'm pretty happy with Riley for now.'' Vick says.

''So where's Tyler?'' She asked.

''Oh he's in town looking for Scootaloo.'' Vick said with a small giggle.

''Why is he looking for her?'' She asked.

"They're both dating.'' Vick said catching her by surprise.

''That's wonderful!'' Fluttershy said with a gasp.

''I thought Rainbow or Pinkie would have told you.'' Vick said. ''I guess it does make sense because they just started dating two days ago.'' She said rubbing her chin in a thinking manner.

''Oh I know they'll just be very happy together.'' Fluttershy said finishing her tea.

''I know they will.'' Vick said.

(Ponyville bar)

It had took the Russians to find the town bar but had eventually found it but upon entering they had every patrons attention on them.

''Come comrades let us find a table.'' Dimitri said walking to an empty booth.

As the three were walking Anton noticed that some of the patrons were just staring and very few looked at them with disgust while others looked with curiosity and others were too drunk to see straight.

''It looks like they don't like us.'' Anton thought as he sits down and Dimitri waved down a Pegasus white Pegasus waitress.

''Hello my name is Cloudy Skies and I'll be your waitress for the morning, what can I get you?'' The waitress asked taking out a notepad.

The three looked at their menus but were disappointed because most of the menu items were all pony based and inedible for humans, there were a few salads but could hardly count as filling.

''What do you suggest commander?'' Boris asked in Russian.

''Hmm not sure Boris, I guess these Flapjacks will do.'' Dimitri said getting a nod from both Boris and Anton.

Dimitri orders for the three of them in English and the waitress goes to get their order ready and comes back with some drinks of water for them.

''Here are some drinks gentlestallions.'' The waitress said.

''Ah spasibo, madam.'' Dimitri said getting a confused look from the waitress.

''I'm sorry?'' She asked.

''I said thank you madam.'' Dimitri said to her.

''Oh well you're welcome.'' The waitress said with a smile before walking off.

The three waited at the table waiting for their food to come while taking an occasional sip of water and making small chat with each other.

''So comrades what's your takes on this strange world?'' Dimitri asked his two crew mates.

The two were unsure what to think of their predicament and the world they were in.

''I'm a little uneasy about this whole thing, this world looks like a child's coloring book sir.'' Boris said to his commander.

''Anton what about you?'' Dimitri asked the youngest of the group.

''I don't know sir hardly anything makes sense here, but maybe it won't be so bad.'' Anton said sounding a bit nervous at the end.

''Yes this world is confusing but we mustn't let our guard down too easily, we are soldiers of Mother Russia and we have her pride to maintain.'' Boris said getting a nod from the tank commander.

''Very true Sargent, very true.'' Dimitri said.

It wasn't long before their breakfast arrived to their table with Dimitri thanking the waitress, Boris and Anton began eating their flapjacks but Dimitri pulled out a wooden crusafix from his shirt and did a prayer in Russian before eating his flapjacks. The three Russians ate in small silence with Dimitri and Boris doing the talking and Anton listening and enjoying his flapjack and the syrup the waitress dropped off when she realized that she forgot it.

''I haven't had something sweet like this in months.'' Anton said through bites getting nods from both soldiers.

The three were enjoying their breakfast when they had heard a commotion prompting them to look away from their meals, just a few tables away they were a group of drunk stallions and one griffin getting a little too touchy with the mare who had brought them their meal a few moments ago and it was obvious she wasn't liking it one bit and wanted it to stop, one even tried to sneak a kiss from the poor mare prompting her to slap the stallion across the face. seeing how it would escalate to something drastic Dimitri stood up and walked toward the group who were busy with the mare to notice he was walking up to them, as the stallion moved his hand to slap the mare back Dimitri caught it before he could hit her.

''Where I'm from it is not polite to hit a lady.'' Dimitri spoke in a authoritative tone.

The stallion turned around and was met by a 6'2 Russian soldier who did not look too happy at the moment, seeing how the man in front of him was 6'2 and he was only 5'5 Earth pony it made the mans height seem a bit intimidating to the others himself included.

''Let. Her. Go... Now!'' Dimitri said making the stallions jump a bit.

The stallion was a bit shaken from the way he spoke to him but the cider in his system was giving him the nerve to speak back.

''Why don't you mind you own business freak!'' He shouted throwing a punch.

Dimitri didn't bother avoiding the punch as it came right at him and allowing it to make contact.

'POW'

Dimitri didn't show any reaction that the punch did any affect on him which shocked the group as hardly anyone besides another Earth pony or a Minotaur can shrug off a punch like that, Dimitri just smirked as Boris and Anton showed up as backup, Boris got the mare out of the stallions grasp for her to run behind the bar where the bartender was on the landline calling for the guard.

''Now it's my turn little horse man.'' Dimitri says with a smirk still on his face.

The drunken stallion now starting to regret his decision didn't have time to speak as Dimitri picked him up and body slammed him getting a shock reaction out of the stallions friends.

''Now who's next?'' Dimitri challenged looking at the drunk stallions companions who all looked ready for a fight.

''Eto dolzhno byt' veselo. (This should be fun.)'' Boris said cracking his knuckles.

''Davayte postarayemsya ne prichinit' im slishkom mnogo vreda, my, v kontse kontsov, gosti. (L-lets try not to hurt them too badly, we are guests after all.)'' Anton shyly said getting into a fighting stance.

(Tyler)

Tyler was wandering Ponyville trying to find out where Scootaloo lived since he found out she doesn't live with Rainbow dash from Apple bloom whom face was a bit red much to enjoyment of Applejack but he just chalked it up to the heat of the weather and told him she lived near Quill's and Sofa which was where he heading.

''I wish I had took more time to know the town more, I don't even know where Quill's and sofa is!'' Tyler stated out loud looking for the store. ''Not like the show tells you where it is.'' He grumbled.

Tyler continued to walk towards the direction that a kind mare had pointed him to towards Quill's and sofas, on the way to the store he had heard some commotion near him so he went to investigate.

''What the hell?'' Tyler said as saw the sound of the noise coming from a building called and I shit you not the 'Salt Licker Saloon'. ''What in gods name is going on in there?'' He said reaching for the door, before he can grab the handle the door explodes open and a stallion is tossed out and lands unconscious. ''Hmm?''

Tyler enters the bar and to his surprise sees the Russians fighting a group of bar patrons.

''Wow it's like a Boston bar on a Friday in here.'' He thought looking at the fight, Dimitri was fighting three guys while keeping one pinned to the floor with his foot. ''What the hell is going-'' Before he could finish a bottle of alcohol connected with his head.

''OW! Mother fucker.'' He shouted holding where the bottle had hit him and was bleeding down his forehead. ''Now I'm pissed.'' He growled as he walked over to the group with anger in his eyes and the room temperature lowering. ''Alright which one of you ass hats threw that bottle!'' He yelled getting the whole bars attention.

The patron looked at the angered teen as the blood dripped down his forehead with a very angry look on his face, most of the ponies who could see his face were weary cause they could see his teeth were a mix of both carnivore and herbivore. as he got closer to the group that was fighting some could see small layers of ice building up on his body and the air around him getting a few degrees colder, as he walked up to the closest stallion he looks him dead in the eye with a look that only a drill Sergeant could muster sending shivers down his spine.

''So who was it?'' He asked the drunk stallion who was having a hard time forming a sentence do to both the intoxication and the look Tyler was giving him.

''W-what?'' He asked.

Who. Threw. The bottle.'' Tyler asked as the area got colder to where other bottles in the bar had small layers of ice build upon them.

One of the stallions who was closer to the two got a little cocky and tried to sneak up behind the kid with a bottle in hand.

''Why don't you mind your own business brat!'' He said swinging the bottle down at his head.

''Look out kid!'' Shouted the bar tender.

Acting fast Tyler ducked his head and avoiding the strike with his left arm and striking the stallion with his right palm in his chest freezing him in a block of ice shocking everyone in the bar as they've never seen magic do that and the Russians were just as shocked at the kid using magic.

''Anyone else feel like trying something?'' He said looking towards the drunk stallions.

''Alright everypony break it up!'' A voice called from the door.

Tyler turned around and saw a couple of guards from Unicorns to Pegasi all in the standard gold armor that the day guard are known for.

''Woah check out the stallion over there, he's frozen in ice!'' One of the guards said motioning to the stallion Tyler froze.

"Something like that had to have taken a lot of magic to freeze him in a block that size.'' Another guard said.

''Who do you think did it?'' Another asked.

''Focus ponies, we have a job to do.'' The lead guardsmare said walking to the bar tender. ''You're the one who called it in?'' He asked getting a nod from the mare behind the bar.

''Yes I did mam.'' The bar mare replied. ''Those stallions over there were harassing my waitress and getting a little grabby on her, had it not been for those three.'' She said pointing to the Russians. ''It could have gotten worse.''

''Okay what about the frozen guy over there?'' The mare asked pointing towards the frozen stallion.

''Can't say he didn't deserve it, that prick tried to strike that kid over there in the back of his head with a bottle.'' She said pointing to Tyler who look very tired and exhausted.

''You ok kid?'' The guard asked.

''I'm tired and I don't know why.'' Tyler said panting heavily.

''Here kid this should help.'' The bar mare said giving him a glass of water.

''I don't know why I'm tired, I was fine a few moments ago.'' Tyler said taking large sips of water.

''Must have been from all that magic you used, from how big that block of ice is I'd say that was a lot of magic.'' The gaurdmare said.

''So what happens now?'' He asked.

''Well we gather everypony involved and head to the station, but first I'll have somepony take care of that head injury of yours.'' The mare said calling over one of the guards.

The guard was a unicorn stallion with a white coat and red mane and tail with a small trimmed beard, his armor had the universal red cross on it showing he was a medic.

''Okay lad lets get that taken care of.'' The stallion said in a Irish accent. (I don't know how to do a Irish accent.)

The stallion focused a healing spell which coated his horn and hands in a light gold shine and placed his palms over Tyler's head and waited for the spell to do its job but it wasn't working.

''Strange this usually works.'' The medic said scratching his beard a bit.

''Not surprising considering our high resistance to magic.'' Tyler said surprising the medic a bit.

''High resistance?'' Asked the medic.

''Yah we humans have a high resistance to magic to the point where if some-pony wants to even hold us in place they have to use more magic and even then they might have some trouble. That and our recent addition of magic we got while on what was supposed to be a simple security mission, life sure has way of keeping us on our toes.'' Tyler explained.

''You have magic?'' The medic asked in surprise.

''Yes but my family and the Princesses agreed to keep this fact to ourselves because we don't fully understand them yet.'' He explained.

''Can't argue with that so I won't press.'' The medic said wrapping Tyler's head in medical bandages.

The guards gathered the drunk ponies and everyone involved in the brawl and began the walk toward the station.

(Back with Johnny and the others)

Twilight and Johnny had just finished explaining the importance of increased guard with the addition of Johnny's combat drones as added security for the protection of Ponyville while Princess Celestia and Princess Luna listened to the conversation and adding their own input when needed while Barb just listened, the mayor was listening and had to admit they both had great points and the town could stand to have more security and with the captains robots helping out the town would have even better chances of preventing incidents like that awful bandit situation, but then there were those who were not fond of having the humans around or anycreature around that wasn't a pony, some had already tried to convince her to run them out of town and truth be told she didn't like dealing with bigots like them cause she has no problem with other species and friendship and love is for all creatures while they think that friendship and love is only reserved for ponies only, it went against everything Equestria stood for and would create some nasty rumors for the town if others heard the town of Ponyville kicked out creatures because they weren't ponies.

She also took the time to read the contract the captain and Princess Twilight wrote up for the agreement, it looked promising and with the robots helping the guards it felt like things would look up for the town and possibly bring in more tourists which would mean more profits for the town.

''I must say I think this contract is a good idea for the town and I would be happy to sign, I'll call for a town meeting in three to four days and speak with some key members of the town counsel.'' The Mayor said with a smile.

''Excellent mam, I look forward to our agreement.'' Johnny said holding his hand out for a shake which she returned.

As the five were about to leave the mayors office the door opened and a guard walked in and stopped looking surprised and he was not expecting to see the princesses in the mayors office.

''Yes how can I help you guardpony?'' Mayor Mare asked.

''Um there's been an incident at The Salt Licker Saloon, a drunken brawl broke out between some ponies and a few humans that resulted in one of the humans being struck in the head with a bottle.'' The guard said making the princesses eyes go wide.

''What!'' Twilight screamed.

''Who was injured?'' Princess Celestia asked the guard.

''It was one of the younger humans, Tyler I believe his name was.'' He said making Johnny flinch slightly

''WHAT!'' The princesses screamed making the others cover their ears.

''Oh man this is going to be a long day.'' Johnny thought.

''No kidding.'' Wrath said agreeing.

I'm not dead people I've been dealing with some personal problems and work screwing me over. Also I'm not that good at writting fight scenes so if anyone want to help out feel free to message me.
