Traversing the desert landscape at high speed in our Abrams tanks as loud rock music played from our radios. I was standing in the gunner position, chilling on the gun. Comanche and Apache helicopters flew above us along with Osprey troop transports, humvees filled the gaps between the tanks and heavy VAB transports drove in behind us. This was a fucking army right here. We deployed almost everything we had on this, as did the Russians. Gavriil lead the Russian forces and I was leading the UN ones. The plan was to take out the Air-defences so our F22s could get in and take down Discord’s ship. This as our last attempt to stop Discord.

I pulled up the radio mic and spoke into it.
“Alright guys. Hold here! We gotta wait for the Russian forces to be ready...”
The army of vehicles slowed down and eventually came to a full stop. We were less than a mile out from the city limits.
“Gavriil? You ready with your army of ZC62 Heavy tanks and such?”
“Yes Comrade. We will crush the enemy under our Iron Treads! They will not be able to fight our might! They will pay for betraying mother Russia!”
“You ponies ready?”
“Yep!”
“Alri-”
“Tut tut tut. It appears you broke the rules”
“Discord?” I said with surprise.
Discord appeared before me. He didn’t look impressed at all.
“Your broke the rules and entered the borders of Russia. I am disappointed” he then looked around in interest. “I see you’ve got your hopes set out on this plan. Well it won’t work. And now Equestria will pay for YOUR mistake”
“Whatever Discord. We’re coming for you. The city is surrounded and we are coming in quick. Your about to feel the force of human might! You need to learn that we humans can be very stubborn”
“Well you certainly are determined. Too bad it has already failed” he said with joy.
“We’ll see...” I retorted threateningly.
“Well I have a fleet to prepare. Good luck with...” he looked around in disgust “...whatever all this is”
He disappeared again.
“Alright that’s it! Advance!” I commanded, waving my hand forward.

We were now approaching the city, an enemy army had come to appose us; Tanks, ships, troops.
“Alright steel dogs! Fuck up their shit!!”
All our tanks opened fire, unleashing a hell barrage on the enemy army. Our helicopters fired a tonne of rockets, raining hell fire on the enemy. The sight was magnificent. It was like a firework show as explosions filled the horizon. Almost everything of the enemy was wiped out in seconds. Our army didn’t even slow down as we ran straight through the remains of the enemy line. More tanks off to the right. They were firing lasers at us. We returned fire at them, still not slowing down as we rolled on towards the city. This was payback time for the humans. The enemy tanks were wiped out and we lost very few of our own.

We approached the city limits; rockets, laser and bullets coming from the buildings ahead. Our tanks and helicopters returned fire. I could also hear that someone changed the tune on the radio.
‘...America! Fuck yeah! Coming to field to save to mother fucking day yeah! America! Fuck yeah! Freedom is the only way yeah!’
I began loading the turret and fired at the buildings. We were just destroying the enemy lines. The army broke up into many groups. My group moved up a narrow street: four Abrams up front, and five VABs following behind in a single file line. Our troops were walking down the side of us to protect against saboteurs. We reached the end of the street and came out to a massive open square plateau, a large library was on the other side. It was being used as a stronghold by the enemy. Our objective was the anti-air lasers on the roof of the building. Our tanks took bombing formation around the plateau to cover the transports as they unloaded the troops. All our troops dismounted the transports and began to storm the building. I covered them with the gun. The tanks and transports all focused on the building, trying to suppress the garrison as our troops approached. The troops made it in and began to storm the building. As this happened I got a distress call from a team that was in the city centre.
“This is Major Hockey, My team is pinned down outside our objective. We need backup. Anyone respond?”
“This is Cobra 2-4, I have got a small squad of Abrams here that are Idle and ready to support you. We are inbound now to back you up, ETA six minutes”

“Twilight? How you doing with your objective?”
“Just fine thanks! We could use a little help though”
“Alright, I just gotta help these guys out a bit then I’ll come to you”
“Thanks, Twilight out”
My small squad of tanks reached the team and engaged a small battalion of enemy tanks while the team moved into their target building. Their target building was an old bank. My squad of tanks formed a semi-circular formation around the entrance. Enemy tanks and soldiers were inbound from all around but we held our ground. I was still manning the top gun. After a few minutes we had taken down a total of 6 enemy tanks but lost two of our own. The Americans really had upgraded these tanks since the war on terror. They were next to invincible now, especially to lasers. The anti-air defence on the roof of the bank exploded which indicated the team was finished. Once they were extracted I would move to Twilight’s position to help her with her objective.

My tank team, or what remained of it, made it to Twilight’s objective. I could see that Twilight’s team was already on the roof of the building but was clearly having trouble reaching the Anti-air defence. The tanks parked outside and I got out the gunner seat.
“Alright hold here. I’m going to help Twilight and the other ponies”
“Rodger sir. Platinum 4-2 holding position”
I made it to the roof to find the ponies pinned down behind a vent shaft. A dragon soldier with a laser mini-gun was spraying lasers everywhere. There were many dragon warriors with him along with a lot of heavy cover to protect them. I got down quickly as I was soon fired upon also.
“Shit! You girls okay?”
“Were fine. Jus’ can’t get close is all” replied Applejack.
“Liam? We sure could use a little air-support”
“You got it boss!”
We waited a minute for Liam to get here. We occasionally returned fire to make sure the enemy didn’t approach us.
“MY ROFLCOPTER GOES SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI!”
A massive barrage of rockets hit the roof top as Liam flew past at high speed. The dragon warriors all died and we moved in to plant charges on the laser cannon.

The charges went off and I spoke into my ear piece while looking up at Discord’s ship that was floating above the city.
“Alright Echo 2-1, all objectives have been taken out and your flight path is clear. Your free to engage”
“Rodger that, this is Echo 2-1 engaging”
“Make it quick. Discord’s engines just fired up”
We stood on the building top as we watched the F22s and MiGs approach to attack Discords engines.
“I told you that you’ve already failed”
“What?!?”
Discord was standing behind us. We all turned to find him, eight dragon warriors and three transports. All had weapons pointed at us, besides Discord who was unarmed.
“You didn’t think I’d let you win did you? I made that mistake last time and I got turned into stone. Now watch. Watch as your precious planes get blown out the sky”
I turned back his ship to see a huge explosion destroy all our planes in one.
“...No!”
“It’s over. You lose the game. Now I must leave you to your demise. Have fun Dracos”
“Oh I will!” Grinned the dragon warrior standing next to him.
Discord disappeared again, leaving us to be killed by his troops.
“Dracos? That’s the dragon that argued with the pony in the news building in Grove city!”
“How did you know who I am?”
“I was there!”
“Well good for you!” he yelled sarcastically. “...I don’t care! I will take great pleasure in killing you”
I looked up to see Discord’s ship flying into orbit. Our tanks below had been destroyed and all air-support was gone.
“Soldiers! Prime weapons! Kill them all!” shouted Dracos.
Before they could shoot, a row of lasers destroyed the transports and the dragon warriors. Some ships flew past as the transports crashed. These ships were completely different. They were shaped like arrows. They were blue and had yellow lightning bolts down the side.
A loud cheer came through my ear piece.“Yeeehar! ESC Wonder-bolts at your service! Hope you liked the show!”
“The Wonder-bolts?!?” Both me and rainbow shouted in surprise.
“That's right! Twilight’s pilot made it back to Equestria. Luna was informed of the situation and immediately deployed the fleet. She’s in orbit around the moon with her fleet right now. We’ll patch you through to her now”
“This is Princess Luna. We came as soon as we got your message”
“Princess Luna. Thank you for your help but you need to stop Discord’s fleet before it can jump to Equestria” Twilight said quickly and with no hesitation.
“Alright. Me and Commander Macintosh will engage immediately. I need you girls here as soon as possible”
“Wait? Commander- Big mac, you up there?” Applejack asked curiously.
“Eeeyep. Luna wanted me to be her second in command”
“I trust Big Macintosh since he is your brother” explained Luna. “He is also a strong leader. Perfect for the job. I’ve sent transport to pick you up. I need to see you girls as soon as possible. Don’t keep me waiting”
“Alright Princess. We’ll be there soon” replied Twilight.
“You girls go. I’ve gotta wrap things up here”
“Okay Courage. Good luck”
“You too Twi”
She smiled at me as a transport came in behind her. I smiled back. She and the other ponies then climbed aboard the transport and I walked towards the roof access. I needed to meet with Gavriil ASAP.

“Wait Human” said a Demonic voice behind me. It was weak. I turned to find Dracos on his stomach reaching out to me.
“Please. Let me join you. I wish to stop Discord aswell”
“Why would you want to do that?”
“He created me purely to kill. I’m destined to fight and die. I’m just a slave. I wish to be free. Will you let me join you?”
“Why should I?”
He was silent for a few seconds. “...Please”
I walked up to him and pointed my pistol to his head.
“Is this how it’s gonna be?” he said with disappointment.
“Yes...” I stood there for a few seconds, then I spun the pistol round in my hand pointing it towards me. “Your equipment is damaged. Take this...”
He grabbed the pistol and got up on his feet. “Thank you human...”
“You’re welcome. Just don’t stab me in the back okay? Now c’mon. Lets go meet Gavriil”
“Don’t worry Human. If I intended too, I would have done so already”

“Yes!! A cappuccino Machine!!! I can finally have my cappuccino!! I’ve waited weeks for this!!”
“Alright! Calm down! It’s just a stupid Coffee!”
“Just a stupid Co- Oh boy you better take that back... or I’ll kick you in the newts!” Liam yelled.
“Woah! There’s no need for that kind of attitude!”
“Yeah bitch. That what I thought”
“Huh?”
Dracos interrupted mine and Liam’s little stand off and walked between us.
“Is that your human friend?” he said pointing towards the massive tanks coming down the street.
“Yep. That be him with his ZC62s”
Four super heavy, over-sized, double barrelled Russian tanks approached the building we were in. Each tank had quad barrelled rocket launchers either side of the Turret, dual barreled Co-axial machine gun next to the main gun, flamethrower on the front and two gunner seats.
“Woah! Those things are monsters! They’re like two times the size of an Abrams!” I said in total awe.
“I thought you knew what they were already?”
“Yeah, I just never seen one in person. Awesome machine” I said, softly rubbing the hull of the tank.
“Indeed comrade. So who’s your friend” Gavriil asked curiously.
“My name is Dracos human. It is an honour” Dracos replied, giving a small bow.
“Well I’m here Curry. What’s the plan then?”

“...the Nuclear Reactor in the centre of the city. The enemy are using it to power their AA guns. We will cause a meltdown, causing it to explode and destroy everything in the city. It’ll wipe out pretty much everything here, which is a huge chunk of Discord’s forces on earth. I’ve got everyone else to evacuate the city. We will take these four tanks into the city centre and destroy the reactor. Just before it explodes we will head here to gain space transport and meet with Luna in orbit. It’ll be cutting it a bit fine but I’m confident we can get out of the blast radius before the reactor goes critical. Any questions?”
“No Comrade. We are all ready. You’ll be riding shotgun on my tank. We will lead the attack”
“Sounds good to me. Mount up!”
We all mounted up on the tanks and began to move out. The rest of the Human forces had pulled out of the city. It was up to us to destroy the reactor. With tanks as beastly as this, it wasn’t going to be too hard. Or so we thought. Driving down a street in single file line. It was quiet.
“It’s quiet...”
“Too quiet...”
“Rocket! Watch out!”
The enemy rockets were famous for blowing up any tank in one shot. Not sure how Discord’s troops did it but we were about to test how powerful their rockets really were. The rocket hit the tank directly. I was jolted about a bit from the force of the explosion. Bullets started to fly everywhere from the buildings around us.
“Gavriil! Damage report now!” I demanded.
“Minimal Comrade! Aha Russian engineering cannot be beaten!”
Our tanks began to fire their main guns into the buildings. The enemy didn’t stand a chance against this kind of fire power. We continued to roll down the street I was manning one of the guns on Gavriil’ s tank, firing at the enemies on the roof tops since our tank’s main guns couldn’t aim that high. We were taking heavy fire but these tanks were tough.

After some fighting we were now approaching the reactor. We were driving across the parking lot towards the main structure. Enemy tanks were approaching us from in front, firing their weapons at us. We returned fire. Lasers came at us causing huge explosions. The parked cars around us exploded constantly. By now we had taken out a few of their tanks and we were getting closer to the reactor. One of our tanks were destroyed in the tank battle but the rest were still okay. A few more tanks and troops approached us from the right and we turned our turrets to fire at them. Hostile fighters flew in and fired a few rockets at us, blowing up another one of our tanks.
“Gavriil! Hostile fighters!” I yelled.
“No worries! I have a few rockets of my own. Heh heh heh...”
The turret then turned towards the fighters that were flying away and fired two rockets. The fighters tried to turn to make another run but the tank’s rockets locked on to them and destroyed them.
“Nice one Gavriil!”
Enemy troops were really close now and were attempting to plant charges on our tanks. We had a little surprise for them.
“FLAMETHROWER BITCHES!” yelled Liam cheerfully.
The flamethrower began to spray fire all over the enemy troops. Turns out these Dragon warriors couldn’t handle the heat. What kind of dragons are they if they could be burnt alive.
“Alright! Move in and Target the reactor!”
We moved in and fired our rockets and tank shells at the reactor, causing some serious damage. We could hear a loud alarm coming from the building, most likely warning us of a meltdown.
“Alright! Quick! We ne-”
We were hit by more rockets from more fighters. The other tank was destroyed and ours was about to explode itself.
“Bail!” I yelled.
We all climbed out and the tank exploded. We were all knocked down by the force of the explosion. I got up and put my helmet back on, after it was knocked off by the explosion, and looked up to see a few transports picking up some enemy troops.
“Quick guys! This is our chance to get out of here!”
We all got up and moved up to the transports. We moved from car to car as we fired at the enemy troops that were boarding the transports.
“It’s taking off!” yelled Liam.
“That’s it! Run for the transport!”
We got out of cover and ran for the back door of the transport. The door was closing so I drew my pistol and fired at the control panel. This damaged the panel and stopped the door from closing. Dracos and I grabbed onto the back as it lifted off. Gavriil grabbed my leg and Liam was climbing onto the roof. A dragon warrior looked over me and aimed his weapon at me. My pistol wasn’t going to do anything to his scales so I just threw it at him. He was distracted for a second and I grabbed his leg, pulling him out the transport. I then pulled myself up and I was met with three more dragon warriors. The first swung at me. I grabbed his wrist and smacked him in the jaw with my fist. My power armour made hand to hand with these buggers much easier. He swung again and slashed my armour but I just punch him again the swung him round so he was by the open door. I then proceeded to kick him out. The second had some kind of energy sword and swung at me! I ducked and tackled him. Gavriil was fighting the third with his AK as his melee weapon. The dragon warrior tried to stab me but I jumped up and forced my feet onto the handle. My weight forced his hand and sword to the floor. I then kicked him and then stamped on his wrist. He let go of the sword and I kicked him into the back wall. I picked up the energy sword and stabbed him in the chest. He was now skewed to the wall in pain.

I turned back to find that Gavriil and Liam had delt with the third Dragon warrior and were now helping Dracos up into the ship. I moved to the cock pit. The Pilot looked at me in surprise and I just shot him casually, like it was nothing. I then pushed his body aside and took the pilot seat. The reactor was going to explode at any moment.
A huge explosion came from behind us. A huge mushroom cloud replaced the great city within a second. The force of the explosion began to shake the ship as we flew up high towards the atmosphere.
We became surrounded in a bright light as the explosion began to consume us.
“Everyone hang on! It’s going to be close!”
