Fanfic / Heroes And Allies

Earth and Equestria meet to battle their greatest foe yet.

Heroes and Allies is a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic by Lynolius.

After some military experiments reveal an anomaly near Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Atlanta, Georgia, a team of scientists perform various experiments on it. When they stabilize the anomaly enough to send items through, they find that the anomaly is a transdimensional portal that leads straight to Equestria. As a small team of scientists and soldiers pass through and make First Contact with the inhabitants, they will eventually be embroiled in a war that will span all of Equestria and possibly Earth.

It is called the HailFire, and apparently it is some kind of crazy hybrid between a steam generator powered Leviathan landship, and a heavily armored hot air filled blimp. Even worse, according to the survivors, it is armed to the teeth with the same weapons that destroyed Matchbox and Steel Hoof battalions, and is continuously refitted to repel even our heaviest weapons."

• Humans Are Divided: Upon arriving in the Human world, Twilight is actually surprised that humans are divided by skin color and are not closer together due to the similar limbs they share.
• Humans Are the Real Monsters: Not only totally averted, but this story was explicitly written as a sort-of Hate Fic/Take That! about this very concept.
  Lynolius: I wrote this story to combat the notion the Human race has to be portrayed negatively in stories. Frankly, I grow tired of stories where human characters leave their families behind, (who presumably grieve over their disappearance for the rest of their lives,) just to live in a fantasy land. I also grow tired of fics like The Conversion Bureau, where humans are looked down on as inferior, so you won't find anything like that here. There, I said it. In this story I endeavored to show the real Equestria, the world the Equestrian Department of Censorship would never allow to get into the show, and when two great worlds meet, they meet as equals...
• Improbable Aiming Skills: Griffins are said to be able to kill a man from 200 yards away.

  • Everyone and Everypony's reaction to the column of Abrams tanks arriving.
  • Greene's reaction when he is told that his payload is of the nuclear variety.
• Jerkass: Surprisingly enough, Blueblood averts this. While he can be apprehensive its mainly due to the fact that an assassination order was placed on him and has been cautious ever since. But he does have ponies he considers close friends such as Major Classified.
• Just Following Orders: Captain Stonewall honestly doesn't want to arrest Greene but is only doing it just because its his job.
  Stonewall: "Frankly, I see no reason for any of this, but I will do my duty. Understand?"

  • Played with The US President, Word of God stated that he thought that Barack Obama would not be re-elected in 2012 and wanted to make it look like he made a comeback years later.
    Lynolius: "The running joke here was that I expected him to lose the recent election and be re elected in some sort of triumphant return, sorta like a certain president from the past. But this really isn't important. Good eye for catching it though. I was wondering when someone would bring that up."
  • Kasim Reed is mentioned by name after everyone falls back into the human world.
  • None of the foreign dignitaries that Celestia and Luna meet with are named.

• Not So Stoic: Big Mac drops his stoic act when he finds out Applejack is alive.
• Not Himself: Anyone sucked into Lord Hircus' portal or possessed by him becomes a silent, brainwashed soldier fighting for him.
• Nuclear Option: Downplayed. A low-yield nuclear warhead was sent to the soldiers on the President's orders as a weapon of last resort. It's used to take down the Liberation Alliance's giant airship to prevent Hircus from being summoned. Unfortunately, they set it off a few seconds too late The ship is destroyed, but Hircus arrives.

  "Arching into the sky, the greatest forces of destruction ever created by hand and hoof collided in mid air, giving life to a combined nuclear and elemental magical event. There was not a flash of light, rather an approaching wall of luminous energy that blinded the pilot through his visor. Panels and gauges began to spark. The jet veered wildly in the shock wave. When his vision returned, all the pilot could see was what can only be described as a mass of energy in it's purest form. It was a perfect pearl of power, pulsing with unnatural might. It was almost beautiful."
