As the two Jeeps hummed through the forest, Sergeant Redford looked around at the foliage, eyeing every shadow in case of an ambush.

"So, Sergeant?" Drake asked. "Who gave us this mission?"

"Generals Eisenhower, Patton, and Bradley." Redford replied. "I'm not sure what to expect here, gentlemen. Keep your weapons ready."

"Yes, sir!" the soldiers replied. The Jeeps hummed along for a while, until Redford held up his hand. The cars slowed to a stop, and the troops disembarked.

"This it?" Wilson asked.

"Yep, checks out." Nash replied, referencing his map. The soldiers had arrived at a large factory, with a small house built into the front. As they approached, the door opened and revealed Dr. Breighner.

"Ah, the Americans." he spoke in accented english. "I am Dr. Erik Breighner. Come in, but be quiet. You'll wake my guests."

The Americans glanced at each other, then they nodded. As they stepped inside, they froze in their tracks.

Sleeping on a couch were three small equine beings. One was white with a horn. Another was pale yellow with no discernable features. The last was orange with wings. They were currently sleeping underneath a blanket.

"What the hell is that? What are they?" Cox asked.

"The first alien visitors to Earth." Erik repled. "Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. You'll be surprised to hear that they speak English."

"Jesus Christ." Jackson cursed. "How'd they get here?"

"A portal of some kind from their homeworld." Erik said. "They fled from a race very similar to the Nazis that were taking over their lands. Apparently the leader of that race had very...passionate ideas about gender superiority, if you get my meaning."

"I see." Redford replied. "How long have they been here?"

"A day, at most." Erik replied. "I fed and lodged them here."

"That's enough about the aliens." Redford asked. "What about the intelligence you said that you have?"

"Right here." Erik said, handing the Sergeant a briefcase marked with the Nazi flag. "I will also show you the project I have been working on."

Erik moved a bookcase aside, revealing a stairwell.

"Private Nash, stay up here." Sergeant Redford ordered. "If those beings wake up, you come get us, alright?"

"Yes, sir." the soldier replied. The other six followed the doctor to an underground bunker, full of scientific equipment.

===

"What is this place?" Jackson asked.

"The final lab of the Unendlich Project." Erik replied. "The Nazis were attempting to build the technology of the future in the present. Most often, we failed. The only successful device was the Rift Nexus."

"What's that?" Wilson asked.

"A machine capable of moving nearly anything from a human to a tank from Point A to Point B in an instant." Erik replied, showing them the massive, ring-shaped device. "However, it was deemed too unwieldy, and left here to rot."

"We could use something like that." Keller shrugged.

"You could." Erik said. "However, it requires a power source I do not currently have."

"Do the Nazis know about it?" Redford asked.

"Partially." Erik shrugged. "I am the last of the Unendlich program. The others were shot when their projects failed."

"Brilliant." Redford sighed. "You can explain further to General Eisenhower. What about the three aliens?"

"They'll be coming with me." Erik said. "You, and most likely your Generals, will want to hear their story."

"I agree." Redford sighed. "I think it should be in person, though."

"Oh, certainly." Erik said. "We should go."

"Right." Redford said. "It'll be a tight squeeze, but we should have room in the jeeps. Alright, let's go!"

"What about that thing?" Jackson said, referring to the Nexus.

"I've already gutted it to the point where it cannot work." Erik said. "Have your planes level this place."

"Fine." Redford said. "Let's go!"

As the soldiers headed back upstairs, they saw something surprising. The three beings were awake, and were currently listening to Nash telling them war stories.

"So, our Tanks literally rolled over the Germans." Nash said. "It may not have been pretty to see, but it was funny as hell."

As the three fillies laughed, Nash saluted.

"What the hell are you doing, Private?" Redford asked.

"Keeping them occupied, sir." Nash replied. "So, this is my commanding officer, Sergeant Redford."

The three fillies waved.

"Alright, we need to get moving." Redford said. "Nash, seeing as you're the most comfortable around them, you get to explain all this to General Eisenhower."

"Shit. You serious?" Nash replied.

"Partially." Redford smiled. "Alright, let's go men!"

As Nash picked the three fillies up, the soldiers brought Erik to the Jeeps. Placing the fillies down in the back, Redford took the wheel.

"Alright, let's get a move on!" he said. As the two Jeeps hummed ot life and ran off, Erik turned to the three fillies.

"Is this thing safe?" Applebloom asked.
"Yes, it is." Erik said. "Though I have never been in one of these "Jeeps", I am enjoying myself immensely!"

"I'll take your word for it." Scootaloo said. "I still prefer my scooter."

====

As the two Jeeps reentered the base, Erik and Nash helped the fillies to the ground, in full view of every American soldier in the area. While they walked to the command tent, the three fillies could hear the whispers.

"What are those things?"

"Hell if I know, man. You think they're friendly?"

"I dunno, but they look cute."

"Alright, that's enough!" Redford yelled. "Button it up soldiers and leave them alone. They've had a rough night."

The Soldiers nodded and reluctantly returned to their business. The ten of them reached the command tent, and Redford lifted the tent flap.

Inside were three men wearing jackets. One had a stern and no-nonsense face. Another was a bit older, but seemingly kinder. The last had his arms crossed with a smile.

"Sergeant Redford reporting, General." Redford said. "This is Dr. Erik Breighner, and the intelligence."

As Drake handed Patton the suitcase, Eisenhower raised his eyebrows.

"Who are they?" he asked the Sergeant.

"I can explain." Erik said. "They are the first aliens to visit Earth. And they have a story you'll want to hear."

"Well, let's hear it." Patton boomed. "I'm George S. Patton, Jr."

"Omar Bradley."

"Dwight Eisenhower." Ike said. "So, what can you tell us?"

The three fillies gave them their names, and told them of the Caribou conquest of Equestria. At the end, Patton's face was searing red.

"Those bastards!" he boomed. "Despicable sons of bitches!"

"That's enough, George." Eisenhower said. "I'm sorry you had to experience that. Where's this portal now?"

"It closed behind us." Sweetie Belle said. "I'm not sure we can go back to Equestria."

"That's incorrect." Erik said. "The Rift Nexus can take us there. I'll need time and resources to rebuild it, however."

"We'll deal with that later." Eisenhower said. "Well, I think it's safe to say that the President's going to be very interested in this."

"You sure?" Bradley asked.

"Mr. Roosevelt's a good man, and he'll know what to do." Eisenhower replied. "Until then, you three will remain in our custody."

"Okay." the three fillies said.

"And as for you, Sergeant...you and your men will be escorting them to Washington when the time comes." Eisenhower said. "I want this done diplomatically."

"Yes, sir." Redford replied.

"Alright, Sergeant, you and your men are dismissed." Eisenhower said. "Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, I have a few more questions if you're up to answering, along with Dr. Breighner.."

As the men left the tent, they noticed several soldiers were standing nearby, eavesdropping.

"Get back to work!" Redford boomed. The soldiers scattered, and Redford rolled his eyes.

"So, secret's out?" Jackson asked.

"Most likely." Redford groaned. "Let's leave that to the Generals. For now, let's get something to eat."
