A/N: This is my first fanfic, constructive criticism is welcomed and I'm in the 8th grade so grammar errors will happen sometimes. Since I am in school I don't know when I'll update, hopefully a few chapters a week. Note that this is my first fanfic so I don't know half the shit I'm doing and that the fact that I don't have any help or proof readers so be warned now. Thank you!
*EDIT!*

Don't worry about the first few chapters being so grammatically bad or just bad in general, I get better once you hit chapter 5 or so.

Prologue:How did we get here?

"Dammit! The warhead's gonna blow!" One person yelled over the radio. The year is 2160. Delta Force was tasked to defuse the nuclear warhead the terrorists requisitioned before it went off. Between the havoc of the battlefield and the stress at hand, Staff Sergeant Nick and Lieutenant Andrew were unable to get to it in time. Unfortunately, they were near the center of the blast when it went off, and their bodies burnt to ash within seconds, as if someone wanted them to be unidentifiable.

5 minutes before the explosion...

"Well if this is it Nick, then I will be seeing you in hell buddy." Andrew groaned as he laid on a box in the warehouse where the nuke is.

"It's been nice knowing you for what like 24 years right?" Nick chuckled at the thought of him and Andrew being bros for that long. Andrew had found a his flask of whiskey and offered a drink to Nick.

"Well, we're going to be dead anyway, so I don't see why not." Nick said grabbing the flask and took one last drink together as the nuke went off, but it didn't feel as painful as the thought it would be. Instead, they blacked out and felt a falling sensation. Andrew was the first to wake up to find himself free falling into a forest with Nick just above him.

15 minutes after the explosion...

"HEY NICK!! WAKE UP!!" Andrew yelled at him but heard no reply. So he went on the instinct to save his friend as he tried to slow himself down and strapped Nick down to his chest.Luckily I brought this emergency parachute just in case we had to bail on something. Andrew thought to himself laughing at the thought. He remembered his father's words before he died, "It's always a good thing to have and not need than to need and not have." Wiping a tear from his eyes he pulled the chute and started to float down to what looked like to be some sort of cave entrance.

"Huh? what happened?" Nick had started to wake up, but as he moved, his head had felt like he had been in a car accident with a terrible whiplash.

"You were out cold for a little bit. You might have a concussion but I'm not so sure with that big head of yours." Andrew chuckled.

"Haha very funny, says the person who graduated med school in 4 years." Nick had retorted. He started to get up checking his gear.

"My trusty .44 Magnum Ol' Painful? Check."

"Reserve ammo for my guns? Check."

"My SMG? Check."

"Andrew sleeping again? Uncheck, he's checking gear too." Nick had giggled at the comment.

"Hey it's a good thing to check gear once in a while. Besides, my Desert Eagle hasn't had any action since before we went into the warehouse." Andrew retorted glaring at Nick.

"Let's see if our comms work." Andrew said as he turned on the radio. "Overlord this is Delta 0-1 do you copy?" Nothing but static was heard.Guess not. As Andrew thought to himself, the sun started to go down.

"Well, better get some sleep, we have a big day of adventuring tomorrow." Nick had said drifting off to sleep.

"I think I'll stay up for a little bit, I never saw the stars anymore ever since 4 years ago. I remember the night used to be so beautiful when i was little. And here I am looking up at the full moon again, shining in all it's glory." Andrew had talked to himself but Nick overheard him saying it.

"Whatever man, as long as you don't fall asleep on me when I'm being mauled to death." Chuckling as Nick started to drift off.

Canterlot Castle the same night...

"Tia, did you feel a presence of something very powerful that just came out of the everfree?" Luna had asked with great worry.

"Why yes Luna I have felt it as well, I Will send a letter to Twilight to forewarn her about it, but I have a feeling that no harm shall befall my little ponies. But instead, a great hero or heroes shall be introduced into this world." Celestia had said going back to her bedchamber.

Luna had been up all night, staring into the everfree forest. Wondering what had arrived in there.
I could've swore I sensed something complimenting about my night too, I just can't put my hoof on it...
She thought as she drifted to sleep during the day court.

The next morning Celestia wrote Twilight Sparkle a letter to be cautious in the Everfree because something is up.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

I must ask you to be careful around the Everfree Forest because something strange has happened in the last few hours.I strongly advise that you should not go in there for the next 48 hours until the strange feeling I have a hunch on is gone. Don't even think about going in there even with your friends tagging along because I worry about your curiosity.

Sincerely, Princess Celestia

Back inside the cave the next morning...

"Yo Drew it's time to get a move on!" Nick said as he kicked Andrew in the side startling him. Andrew got mad at him because he was really exhausted from the day before. As they started to pack up they heard a loud roar and a scream for help.

"Dude, someone's in trouble, I think we should try to help them." Andrew said as he loaded a magazine into his Desert Eagle. I also hope that they know where we are because I sure don't. Andrew wondered as they both began moving out of the cave with their sidearms drawn. As they ventured out of the cave the growls and roars grew louder as the ear splitting screams of help grew louder as well.

Nick had found out where they were and managed to spot what looked to him like a Manticore and a Rainbow maned Pegasus trying to run away from it.

"Manticores, that's the shit I don't like." Nick muttered to himself as while Andrew nodded in agreement. The next moment Nick and Andrew Jumped out of the bushes and pointed their weapons toward the Manticore, the pegasus was not sure what to do but at the moment she couldn't do anything as she froze in place.

"FREEZE, BITCH!" Nick had managed to yell at the Manticore obtaining it's attention. When the Rainbow pegasus tried to run away she stopped to look at the two bi-pedal figures pointing strange devices at the Manticore. Andrew managed to walk up to the pegasus and tried to make contact with it. All the pegasus do was faint and Andrew was left there to take care of her. The Manticore on the other hand was charging straight towards Nick with full force until two loud bangs had come from Nick's .44. Along with 2 bullet holes inside the beast's head as it dropped right on top of Nick but had managed to move out of the way. Andrew walked up to Nick with a Rainbow maned pegasus riding on his back.

"Uhmm, Andrew? Is that what I think it is?" Nick asked questioning his sanity.

"Yeah, Nick, she's real, or at least I think she's real." Andrew muttered while carrying the bruised cyan pegasus back to their cave. They bandaged her up and left her lying next to the fire they had created while Andrew went out to go find some food for lunch. Nick was left there staring intently at the cartoonish looking figure.

"Ugh, my head." Rainbow had managed to say as she tried standing up. trying to take a look at her surroundings noticing the bi-pedal figure that was staring at her. trying to calm her down.

"Easy there, you took quite a hit trying to run from that Manticore- thingy." Nick has managed so say still staring at her.

"Who-what are you? AND YOU CAN TALK?!" she managed to raise her voice sending an echo through the cave.

Nick replied back with his loud voice saying, "YES, I CAN TALK! I SHOULD BE ASKING YOU THE SAME THING!" They both raised a questioning eyebrow at each other before talking some more, to be more specific, where he was, how her world works and all of it's inhabitants.

"So, you mean to say that this world has magic, the sun and moon don't move on their own, and we're in a land of magical talking ponies?" Nick had managed to sputter out before falling back on his ass.

"Eeyup." Was all Rainbow could say as he told her about his world and all of the conflicts with it. Rainbow just sat there in shock. Neither of them noticing Andrew walking in with a bunch of fruits and vegetables.

"Well, I see that our Rainbow friend has managed to wake up." Andrew had said walking into the cave entrance.

"Alright, alright, now we can tell you who we are, and get everyone on the same page." Nick said while eating an apple.

"Okay, first off what's your name pegasus?" Andrew asked the first question.

"My name is Rainbow Dash, fastest flyer in all of Equestria!" She managed to boast out with Nick chuckling at the thought.

"Ooh, watch out Drew, we got ourselves a bad ass over here." He managed to chuckle out making Andrew snicker. And Rainbow punching him in the arm.

"Okay, well my name's Lieutenant Andrew Goulding and this here is Staff Sergeant Nickolas Churchill. It is very nice to meet you Miss Dash. Sorry about my friend here, he tends to make humor out of everything he can find with his sarcasm. " Andrew had spoke out with at least some formality.

"Alright so what are you?" Rainbow asked towards the two humans.

"We, are humans, apparently assuming that you don't have any here in E-Equestria was it?" Andrew said sitting down eating as well, but before he ate he offered an apple to Rainbow.

"Well, by the red cross on your vest I would like to say thank you for patching me up doc, but now I have to be going back to town. Would you like to come with me? I mean I don't think you would like living in a cave for the rest of your life?"

"Fine by me, what say you Drew *Burp*?" Nick had managed to say while finishing his fifth apple.

"I don't see why not, I mean it's not like we can get home anyway." Andrew sighed as the two gathered their things and followed her flying into the direction of Ponyville.

Twilight's Library, Ponyville. 1:00 PM

I wonder why the princess sent me this letter, I'm sure it wouldn't be THAT dangerous. Twilight pondered to herself. As soon as she walked into the living room Rainbow came crashing through the roof.

"Rainbow! Why do you keep doing this again?! This is like the third time this week! And why are you covered in bandages?" Twilight scowled at the rainbow maned pegasus.

"Twilight! This time it's important! Two friends I had found in the Everfree are coming this way! I just wanted to give you a heads up! I haven't seen anything like them before! AND they can talk too! Oh and they saved me from a Manticore as well." Twilight just stood there wide eyed staring at Rainbow.

"Wait, wait, hold up. They can talk, fight, and they're friendly? Wow, I must meet them see what they look like. As well as ask what they are. What are their names Rainbow?" Twilight asked with that gleam in her eyes when she finds something new.

"Well, one of their names is Andrew but he seems to go by Drew as well, and The other one's name is Nick, he has a great sense of humor. As for what they are they said they were hyoo-mans? I think that's how you pronounce it." As they finished up their conversation they heard a knock on the door. With a familiar masculine voice, which was Nick.

"Rainbow come out, come out wherever you are!" Nick had said from behind the door. On the other hand, Andrew was awe-struck because he never seen a tree-house this big.

"Come in!" Rainbow managed to steal Twilight's line before she could even say a single peep. They walked in they met a purple unicorn staring at the two bipedal figures about to faint until Drew caught her with his ninja-like reflexes.

"Whoa you okay there miss-um, I don't think I caught your name yet? Well, before you say anything I'm Lieutenant Andrew Goulding and that over there is Staff Sergeant Nickolas Churchill. We are from a unit called 'Delta Force' as what they called it back home. It is very nice to meet you." He gave a heart-warming smile toward the purple unicorn causing her to blush.

"Well, at least you're pretty straight forward and to the point, I like that. As for my name, my name is Twilight Sparkle and it's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Goulding and Mr. Churchill." Twilight giggled.

"Please Miss Sparkle call me Drew and call him Nick." Andrew said as he shook her hoof with his hand.

"Well, I would like to but, only if you call me Twilight." Twilight replied to him using his formalities.

"So it may seem that you are a doctor Mr. Goul- er I mean Andrew." As she said looking at the red cross patch on his arm.

"Why yes you assume correctly Miss Twilight I graduated med school in 4 years. It's been a while since I graduated though. It's been what like 19 years ago? I graduated when I was 17." Twilight just looked at him with shock and surprise.

"Yeah, he patched me up real good and said I would be out of these in a few days." Rainbow had said while raiding Twilight's refrigerator with Nick looking around the kitchen as well.

"So, you and Nick are soldiers correct? Assuming from those ranks you had addressed yourself with?" Twilight looked at Drew with awe.

"Yes, we were soldiers until we, uhmm how do we put this? Nick help me out here!" Drew had yelled across the room.

"We blew up!" Nick had yelled back at him. Drew looking at Twilight giving her the 'there's your answer' face.

"Well I think we should be going before Nick takes all of your food Miss Twilight." He walked to the front door literally dragging Nick with him.

"I like them. They seem nice." Twilight said with enthusiasm hopefully seeing them again soon. As well as Rainbow nodding in agreement.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Twilight gasped in fear for their new buddies, running out the door with rainbow following her from behind.

"Drew! Nick!" Twilight had yelled at them getting their attention.

"Yes?" Drew had stood there waiting for an answer.

"You can stay at my place if you want, but for now Rainbow and I will give you a tour of Ponyville!" Twilight had said following them.

Sugar Cube Corner, Ponyville 2:30 PM

"Okay so first off I want to introduce you to all of my friends so they can get used to being around you, but in order to do that, please don't threaten them if they threaten you." Twilight had said giving Drew and Nick her saddest puppy dog face.

"Fine Twi, only because I can't stand adorableness." Andrew sighed looking ahead to see that they were headed to a house that seemed to be made out of gingerbread.

"Okay first things first I need to warn you about Pinkie Pie, she's very hyper and most of us can't really understand her, but once you get to know her she's really fun to hang around." Twilight summarizing her finding's about Pinkie.

As they went inside Drew had been tackled to the ground by a pink pony barely making out what she was saying.

"HI!I'mPinkiePieWhat'sYourNameIHaven'tSeenYouAroundBeforeSoThatMeansYou'reNewSoThatMeansINeedToThrowyouA'WelcomeToEquestria'Party!" Even though she had spoken so fast nopony besides Drew could make out what she was saying by replying by saying, "Hi!I'mLieutenantAndrewGouldingAndMyFriendHereIsStaffSergeantNickolasChurchillAndYesI'mNewAndIWouldLoveToSeeOneOfYourPartiesAndIt'sNiceToMeetYou!" Everybody even the cakes were shocked that somepony could match Pinkie's talking speed and not to mention say it in one single breath just like Pinkie. She felt so happy that there was someone else like her.

"How did you?" Everypony asked in unison. "Do what?" Drew had a questioning face as well as everypony else but Pinkie in the room had. Rainbow walked up to Drew and just stared into him as if she were looking into his soul.

"I never thought I'd see the day that someone else could talk just as fast if not faster than Pinkie pie?" Mr. Cake had mumbled and everybody nodded in agreement. Drew thought this could be a moment to have some fun and explained why he could talk so fast. "WellFirstOfAllI'mNotAPonyAndWhenIWasYoungerIUsedToTalkSoFastThatNoPonyCouldEverUnderstandMeSoIWentToSchoolSoTheyCouldTeachMeToTalkSlowerButIGuessItWould'veBeenFunToTalkLikeThatToSomePonyWithTheSameIssue!" Andrew had managed to say without taking a single breath and this time even Pinkie was shocked.

"I like this guy! I should get to know him some more! *GASP* But first I need to throw him and Nick a party!" Pinkie had dashed out of the room and the small tour group had left for Sweet Apple Acres.
