Chapter 4: Humanity

Two Hours earlier
Location: New York

Chaos can be seen in the streets, the stock market in chaos as the seemingly disappearance of the world was in effect, as National guard patrol the streets.

"Man, this is insane." A Guardsmen say, as two of them walks on the street of New York, the curfew in effect to prevent too much chaos. Suddenly they heard something crash as they quickly stopped, turning into an alleyway.

"Shit...you heard that?" The other guardsman asked as the first one nods, both of them shouldering their M4's and moving up to the alleyway.

"National Guard! If there's anyone there make yourself known!" He calls out, as they turn on the flashlights on their rifle, slowly moving up.

Then one of them stepped on something, as he looked down, his boot was pressed on top of a...mail bag?

"UPS lost their package?" One of them says jokingly before they heard more crashing, as their divert their gaze, they see wings flapping, it was gray, and they were too big to be a New York pigeon.

"What the fuck is that!" He says as they gray blob slams against the walls, and starts flying towards them.

"Oh shit! Hit it!" They both fired their M4's, 5.56 round flying towards it, however due to the erratic motions, it manages to dodge all as it hits them. Tackling them on the ground.

As they both groan in pain, they look down to see whatever tackled them was staring back...with crossed eyes.

"...oopsies." Derpy says, sheepishly giggling nervously as her eyes made her see ponies instead of Human soldiers.

Both of the guardsmen were stunned, in shocked, staring at the pony-human creature. Her blonde hair covering her shoulders as she wore a simple mailwoman outfit.

"Hi! I'm Derpy! Is this Manehattan?" She asks, still unable to see clearly as both of the guardsmen look at each other with "what the fuck" faces.

"...You mean Manhattan?"

Present Time

"Believe you have our drone."

As the ponies turned around, they were greeted with bipedal, creatures, adorned with odd mix of shades of green and brown. (Nearly putting Rarity in a coma) Tan vests adorning their torso, some of them having what looked like tan kneepads, along with the same colored hats as the vest, as their faces were blocked by an odd mask, which had what looked like a snout. They also held odd black objects, with them pointing it at them.

Rainbow Dash quickly rushes up. "And just who the hay do you think you-" Rainbow Dash was cutoff as one of them, he wore a more light green pattern walked up and aimed a smaller black object directly at her head.

"Back off." He says, as the realization dawn's on the ponies.

It was weapons.

Celestia stood up, as the Ponies got in a defensive posture, with Pinkie Pie no where to be seen, and Fluttershy hiding behind a rock.

"What are your intentions within my kingdom?" She asks, staring at them cautiously as one of the walked with, it was the lighter green one, with the words "Ranger" on his shoulder and an odd red, white, and blue banner on his shoulder.

"Greetings, we meant no...hostile intent." He says, as he turns to Celestia. "My name is Captain Gregory Macmillan, United States Army Rangers, that there is Lieutenant David Buckley, United States Marine Corps force reconaissance." He says, as the one in darker green walked forward, still cautious.

"Our...drone, or aircraft, has crashed in this area, we had two of our...flyers, scout out the area." He says, the captain doing his best to simplify his words as Twilight's ears perked up and came up beside Celestia.

"Your soldiers?" Twilight asks, as the Captain nods. "Affirmative, my...kingdom, the United States of America, has no hostile intentions that I can guarantee, we're just...confused." The captain says, it was clear to the ponies they don't belong in this world, wherever they came from.

Celestia slowly lessens her defenses as she turns to Rainbow Dash. "Applejack?" She asks, while looking at Rainbow Dash, as Dash glances back at Celestia.

"Their telling the truth." Applejack says as Rainbow Dash sighs in annoyance, backing up as the "Soldiers" lowered their weapons too.

"Unfortunately your, so called aircraft blew up, according to the-" Twilight was cutoff as The CMC appeared out of nowhere behind a bush, surprising both parties. "...those girls, a metal pole fell off the wing then exploded." She says as she swore she could audibly hear the "Americans" look at the CMC with "That's cute" type sounds.

"I see, well. We're only the reconaissance, diplomatic team I'm afraid is still gathering Intel from...one of your citizens that appeared in our cities." The captain says as Celestia perks up, as the lieutenant caughts up to it.

"Don't worry, she's fine and being treated well, just uh...problem with her eyesight." Buck says as Rainbow Dash glances at Buck, he seemed...different.

"Alright, I see...and where is this, kingdom of the United States of America located?" Celestia asks as the soldiers turned silent, looking at one another.

"...give us a moment." The captain says, walking a bit further, however Celestia increased her ears to focus on the captain alone.

"Command, this is the Baker team, we made contact with the...appears to be the monarchy of the kingdom, everything checks out from what the mail girl said...the leader is asking for the location of the country, please advise, over."

"Baker Actual this is Command, I advise you to leave the Marines at the location and make contact with the diplomatic team at the rendezvous point, do not disclose any information for now, over."

"Baker Actual to Command, Copy, over and out."

Buck's POV

As I kept my eye on these, "Ponies", I kept seeing the rainbow one taking glances at me as I heard the captain come up beside me. "Command's leaving your unit here to secure the area, I'll link up with the D.T." The Captain says as I turn to him. "Yes sir."

I say as I turn to my Marines. "First element, Secure the drone site, or what's left of it, second element, maintain perimeter." I ordered them, as they followed, half of my Marines splitting towards the woods while the other half remained as I turned to the Princess.

"Lieutenant, Buckley? Correct?" She asks me as I nod. "You can call me Buck, your highness." I say respectfully, it was odd, as she continues.

"Ah, Buck, so-" Celestia was cutoff when Twilight came beside her with a notebook in her hand. "ooooo! I have so many Questions! What does your cutie mark look like? What's that black thing you hold? How big is your-" Twilight was cutoff as Celestia clears her throat as Twilight smiles sheepishly, blushing. "Twilight, the young lieutenant and I were in a middle of a-" I cut Celestia off, raising my gloved hand. "It's alright your highness, could tell your daughter was excited." I say as both of them look at me with confusion. "...She's not my daughter, she's my pupil."

"...Oh."
