Chapter 8: Discussions
They rented a SUV and started the ride to Fort Bragg. They began to approach the main gate and Jake pulled over. "What's wrong?" asked Rainbow Dash. "It looked suspicious for a single officer to have six girls with him" "Got a point there" "Everybody but Rainbow Dash in the trunk. Don't make a peep. Rainbow Dash sit next to me" Like a Chinese fire drill they get into their places. Jake got back onto the road and approached the main gate. Jake rolled down the window and handed the MP at the gate his ID. "I'm going to need her ID too" "Oh… certainly" "Dash hand me your ID" She dove into her pocket and pulled out a driver's license. "Here you go" He looked over it. "It expired last week Ma'am" They went pale. Shit, this could get the car inspected Jake thought. "Oh wait sorry ma'am read it wrong, your clear" Jake sighed in relief and drove on in. It was still early in the morning and main post traffic hadn't start up yet. They past a sigh saying Fort Bragg home of the Airborne and Special Forces. He pulled over a good ways down the highway and let the girls out of the trunk. "Let's go" Jake was trying to caught the garrison commander before he left for is office. Jake knew where he lived. All Fort Bragg garrison commanders live on 82Capron Street. He came in sight of his house and saw the commander's car had not left yet. He parked behind it. "Girls you need to stay here. I need Twilight with me though" He got out of the car as did Twilight. They walked up to the depression era house and rang the doorbell. The commander opened the door in civilian clothes. Must have the day off Jake thought. "Hello sir" he put hand to him and he shook it. "You are?" he asked "first lieutenant Peters sir" "Well what do you need lieutenant?" he asked in a cheerful voice. "It's about the Russians" The commander gave an irritated look. "Well come in" They stepped into the house. "Who is this?" he pointed at Twilight. "Twilight Sparkle a close friend" He shrugged and the continued to the living room. "Sit down Peters" They sat down on the sofa while the commander sat on a chair from his kitchen. "Let's get to business. What do you know?" "The Russians are going to declare war and launch nuclear missiles in two days" The commander laughed. "Peters, that claim is simply outrageous. How could you know that" "It's complicated" "Try me peters" Jake paused for a moment. "I'm from the future" Once more the commander laughed. "Do you expect me to believe that?" "Yes I do" "Prove it then" Jake thought of his learnings in the army those many years ago. "You have submarines equipped with lasers designed to take out missiles are in the Atlantic right now, the preplanned operation to strike if Russia declares war is an airborne drop on Saint Petersburg, and…" He ran outside. The commander and Twilight followed. He looked out into an intersection from Womack hospital and Reilly road. "There will be a car crash there in" he checked his watch. "About two minutes" He waited and it happened. A Jeep collided with a Humvee on the road. "I still don't believe you crash happen there all the time. How do you know about that classified information?" Jake put his hand up. "A mustang will crash into the Jeep" They waited a moment. Sure enough a Mustang crash into the Jeep soon after. "Ok lieutenant you have me attention" "Ok then commander, I have a long story to tell" Jake told him about Equestria the future and his plan. "So what you want me to do is get you into the UN to stop the arguments" "Yes that's our plan" "And how could I get you in" "The UN is guarded by MPs right now and you can just get me in" "If it will stop a war then fine" "Let's go"
They took a military flight to JFK much to the surprise of air traffic control, got into the Humvee they brought with them, and drove to the UN. "Okay all I can do is get you in. you will convince the delegates" Jake nodded and walked in to the building with the commander and Twilight at his side. Jake burst into the court hall (you know the room where they meet) interrupting an argument between the US and Russian representatives. "What is the meaning of this?!" (I use that phrase to much) yelled the US rep clearly anger. "Sit down you two. I've got a long story to tell and I'm not leaving till I get my way"
They talked for hours in the hall. None of the other reps spoke as they argued into dinner time and into the night. At about 11 p.m. They had to stop the discussions for exhaustion alone. With doing all they could do the commander bid them farewell and bought them plane tickets to Atlanta. They arrived back at 3 am. After dropping everyone off at their homes Jake, Applejack, and Twilight arrived at the farm at the crack of dawn. They walked into the house to see Applebloom and Big Mac around the TV. "Applejack yur back!" squealed Applebloom. "'Not now pumpkin I'm plum tuckered out" She said in nearly falling asleep were she stood. Jake stumbled in sat in the nearest chair and fell asleep. Applejack stumbled up the stairs to her bed. Twilight fell asleep on an empty spot on couch. They all sleep for a good five hours to be awakened by Applebloom. "Applejack wake up there have a special broadcast on all channels" She came down stairs to see that Twilight and Jake were already watching the TV. "What goin on?" "The Russian and US president are having a summit meeting" She sat down and watch the reporter talk about the recent events. "How long have they been in there?" asked Jake. "bout four hours now" Jake knew that this was the time and place. The future would be decided here. Billions of lives hung in the balance. An hour passes. Then another. Then another. By now the camera was on the door to the conference room. The door began to creak open with the world watching. The leaders both had smiles on their faces. After exchanging a few words they shake hands and leave to make their announcements to the world.
Long story short, the leaders came to an ultimatum and war was never declared. Thanks to Jake and the human mane 6 the world would be at peace for years to come.
Jake and Twilight along with the others gathered around the portal to Equestria. "I'm going to miss you darling" Rarity said with a tear in her eye. After a few more farewells between them all they go into a group hug. Jake just stood in the background watching. After they were done with that Jake and Twilight got ready to jump in. "I'm going to miss thumbs" Jake said as they jumped. They fall into the room were the mirror was held. Jake got up and looked around. "Well shit"
