Twilight was giddy with excitement, she had finally met the Human that the CMC mentioned. His attitude was a tad bit rude and his attire strange. She stopped, his attire was strange. He wore clothing and seemed like any other colt. But any other stallion wouldn't be covered in blood and nor would they be able to fight a Hydra. They also wouldn't have a pack of Timber Wolves following them. 'He's definitely a weird one,' she thought idly.

She was currently in the Library going over her conversation, " I Don't Have Time To Play. I Have Lives To Save and Allies To Gain."

That reminded her, she needed to send a letter to the Princesses. She called out loudly, "Spike, where are you?" The sound of claws on wood could be heard. "Yes Twilight?" Spike asked as he found Twilight in the living room hunched over books on mythical creatures. Apparently Twilight and the Girls had met some weird creature in the Everfree Forest.

"I need you to take a letter please."

"Sure thing Twilight," Spike replied as he gathered a quill, some parchment, and an inkwell. "Ready when you are."

"Dear Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, I am writing to you about the situation regarding the Human. It seems that something big is going to happen, well actually already happening. There seems to be a force intent on going to war with all of the lands. Jordan, the Human, is gathering his own army to fight them. When asked why, he said he was Chosen. As for Jordan's appearance, he seems to wear clothing and has a somewhat short mane. He is bipedal and a most notable quality would be what looks like a Cutiemark on the top of his hand. It appears to be a Tree of some kind with roots extending from the bottom. I can't explain why but that mark seems quite special. He has requested an audience with the two of you and wants to meet in the Everfree. Please reply as soon as possible Princesses, your faithful subject and friend, Twilight."

Spike finished with a quick flourish and rolled up the parchment. With a gentle breath of magical fire the Letter was sent to Canterlot, to the Princesses.

Currently seated on the throne was a certain Alicorn. She was currently in the middle of listening to the requests of the citizens of Canterlot. A stallion with a brown coat and short mane with a gold coin for a Cutiemark. "Your Highness, I ask that you would let me demolish the park next to Doughnut Joes."

Celestia tilted her head, "Why would you want to demolish such a nice little park?"

The stallion cleared his throat, "As you know your Highness, My name is Quick Bit and I deal in creating Super Stores. The park just happens to be in a perfect spot to open another of my stores."

Celestia sighed inwardly, 'These Nobles never learn do they?' "My answer is no, the park happens to be my favorite and I shall not deprive the foals of such a wonderful park."

Before Quick Bit could protest and make up some miserable attempt at an argument, Celestia signaled her guards to 'Escort' Quick Bit out of the throne room. They quickly 'Escorted' him, leaving Celestia alone in the throne room. Her thoughts quickly shifted towards Twilight's letter from yesterday. Apparently there was some new creature in the Everfree Forest and it had saved three foals. Since it didn't seem to be too much of a threat Celestia left it to Twilight her friends. She looked out from a nearby window and saw her sun slowly beginning to set. It was nearly time for Celestia to bring down her Sun and for her sister Luna to raise the Moon. As her thoughts turned to her younger sister, the large double doors that her guards had so kindly 'Escorted' a certain noble, opened. A tall mare with a Deep blue mane with what appeared to be tiny sparkling stars shining within the confines of it. Her mane was slightly that of two colors but only slightly due to the outer ends being a subtle purple. Her coat was a Dark almost navy blue with a picture of a dark splotch and a crescent moon in the center on her flanks.

"We hath come to relieve thou of thy duties sister!" The blue mare exclaimed loudly as she made her towards Celestia. "Luna, inside voice please," Celestia said in a gentle voice. Luna blushed and coughed into a silver hoof guard, "Ahem forgive me sister, We sometimes forget about fair Fluttershy's lessons."

Celestia smiled at her sister and brought her into a loving hug. "Its alright Lulu, its kinda cute when you do that," she teased and mushed her little sister cheeks with a gold hoof guard.

A whooshing noise and flash of green interrupted them. A roll of parchment marked to both Princesses was currently laying on the ground in front of the two sisters. They looked down at it with curiosity. Celestia carefully lifted with her magic and unrolled it. The two Sisters read silently, that is till Luna spoke, "Tia, pray tell, what is a Human?" She looked curiously at her elder sister. Celestia answered truthfully, "I have no idea whatsoever." They read further on and their eye's rested on one word, a word that had not been used for a long time.

Celestia released the letter and let it fall to the floor, she stared at it. She was tempted to banish it to the Sun, very tempted. War, a word that the citizens of Equestria knew but did not understand. She was ashamed to say that not even her Royal Guard could count as a military. They were more of a police force if anything. War was soon to be upon her beloved country and well loved subjects. She looked at the stained glasses that adorned the Throne room, her loyal subjects feats and accomplishments.

"Tia..," Celestia looked up at Luna, she was holding the scroll in her magical grasp. She was reading more, where they had left off. "It seems this Human is here to help us fight. It even seems that the Human hath requested our presence in the Everfree Forest. We believe that we should see what this Human has to say."

Celestia nodded, Luna took her sister into a warm embrace, "All shall be well, Tia." They embraced in silence, "Now, we belive that thou has a sun to lower and sleep to get to." Luna nuzzled her softly and took a few steps back as Celestia nodded and made her way towards a balcony behind the Throne. She closed her eyes and lowered head. Her horn began to glow a soft gold and she slowly began to raise it, the glow intensifying. The sun, began to noticeably began to lower itself. With a mighty flash the sun disappeared beyond the horizon. Luna joined her sister on the balcony and repeated the steps as her sister did, except her horn radiated a soft yet dark blue hue. The moon began to gracefully rise from behind the horizon from which the sun had retreated past.

Luna looked at her beautiful sky, her night sky. The moon was at first the only one in the dark sky but slowly yet surely, stars began to ease themselves into existence. Some appeared to be random while others made constellations to amaze stargazers and perhaps a sailor or two. The night sky was Luna's canvas to do what she pleased, not even the chance of war could even hope to have a chance of ruining this for her. She looked at her older sister and smiled, "Come dear Tia, we shall accompany thou to dinner/breakfast."

Celestia smiled at her sister, her loved sister, "That sounds like a wonderful idea, Lulu." Luna grinned mischievously and said, "As long as thou does not decide to gorge thy self with cake again, thy waist seems slightly bigger." Luna took off with "Eek" towards the kitchen as Celestia galloped after her sister yelling "My waist line is just fine!"

Jordan wiped the blood off of the wounded Cockatrice's bleeding wing. Poor guy had it rough, real rough. He focused the nature magic around him and used it to heal Razlif's injuries. The guy was knocked out and twitching every now and then in his sleep. Jordan looked around at his surrounding, they were currently camping in a small clearing. A fire was going and his Pack was out hunting. A pile of berries sat next to him, he was currently snacking on a few. After a while, Jordan reached into his pocket and brought out his cracked phone. He turned on the screen and looked at the time. 7:45, he didn't bother to look at the date, he didn't need to. Dates and days held no importance to him in this world. In the morning he would take Razlif to his grandfather and then wait for the "Princesses" arrival. 'I swear to all that is unholy that if they're snobs or act like they're better, I'm so going to throw them in the swamp.'

He put his phone away and pulled out his knife. He ran his finger along the edge while looking up at the starry sky. 'What am I supposed to do after all this? I guess I could go exploring and claim lands in my name, ha Jordan, King of the Forests. Interesting, but that is, if I survive and make it out alive.' It was funny in a way, here he was, a 16 year old in highschool who dreamed of being a writer, whisked away from his world and practically forced to take part in a war. The act of killing would make some people sick, but other would try to justify it. Jordan on the other hand, had no excuses, excuses are the nails that build the house of failure. His World History teacher told him that, damn good advice. Yes, he had killed and he had not once tried to justify it. The act of killing never bothered him, the strong do indeed prey on the weak, but the stronger prey on the strong. That's how Jordan felt, there always going to be someone out there abusing their power. They just need someone to put them in their place.

Because of this outlook on life, Jordan was sometimes classified as slightly mental or if a little insane. The truth was that Jordan had his views on life and the World had theirs, none which concerned him. He honestly didn't give a rat's ass about what others did, he did not care. Only his family and friends mattered, as selfish as that sounded it was true. 'Than why the hell am I trying to save these ponies and animals?'

Jordan didn't know, maybe it was the good in his heart..doubtful. He shook his head, this topic wasn't important at the moment, he needed to focus on the Now. ''But I wonder what happened to Discord?" The sound of a snap shook Jordan from his thoughts and he looked across the fire. A man with raggedy clothes and a raggedy top hat was sitting down casually drinking from glass of some dark liquid, actually it looked like he was drinking the glass itself while the dark liquid stayed in place!

The man gave a toothy grin, one canine jutting out, "You rang?~"

Jordan stared at the man, he looked at his eyes, to yellow eyes with misshaped red pupils. "Ah there you are Discord, where the hell have you been?"

Discord chuckled loudly, "Around, not around, just watching how your progressing in this new world. I must say, becoming a champion for the God of Nature, quite impressive." Jordan shrugged, "I'm still kinda iffy but at least I'm doing something top pass the time. Plus if I don't do anything this world will end and blah blah blah. So Discord, whats your angle?" He raised a hand and put it against his chest, "My angle, what angle?"

Jordan just gave him a flat look, "Really?"

Discord chuckled once more, "Alright you got me, I don't gain much exactly but its enough for me.'' Jordan raised an eyebrow, ''And what DO you gain?''
Discord smiled, just a regular smile, "I gain the satisfaction that My Little Ponies won't be slaughtered, that they'll be safe.''

Jordan still had a confused look on his face, ''But you look just like a regular guy to me.'' Discord smirked, ''Looks aren't everything Jordan, this is not my real form. This is what some might call a glamour, if you want to know more about me, just ask Princess Sunshine tomorrow. Oh and I am really impressed at how fast you're gaining allies, very impressed. And if I may, heres a little tip, theres an ally that could come in real handy to the East. I'm sure if its you you'll be able to convince them to help.'' Discord looked at his wrist covered by a long sleeve covered in stitches, ''Oh would you look at that, I have somewhere to be, Chaos to spread, and to throw a little spice in some pony's life. Ta ta for now, Jordan,'' with a snap of his fingers he was gone.

Jordan stared at the space where Discord was sitting not to long ago, "Strange guy, I like him, I really do.'' he checked Razlif and noted that he was still out. A few minutes later with the occasional cracks from the fire and the few sparks spat were interrupted by the sound of twigs snapping. Sil and the rest of the pack arrived, dragging a deer, nice sized too. Jordan knew that it was for him and Razlif. He got down to the messy part and disposed of the skin and part he didn't want or need. What was left was the meat and the liver. After wiping his hands on his pants, he gently shook Razlif, waking him.

He hoped that he wouldn't end up being turned to stone. Razlif blearily opened his eyes and coughed a bit. When he was fully awake he finally noticed his surroundings. He was wide-eyed at first but then he slowly began to remember the events that happened earlier. Looking at Jordan he asked, ''Why?" Jordan smiled and looked at his Pack, they had amused eyes, "Well, why not? You needed help and plus your grandpa asked me to find you.''
Razlif looked at him and asked, ''Why did you speak to my grandfather?''

Jordan was expecting this so he put it bluntly, ''Theres going to be a war and I need allies. If I try to fight alone, I'll die and then we all die. So to prevent that, I'm gathering an army to fight. Your people will be a great help and your grandfather said if I wanted your people as allies, I had to find and bring you back home safely. Any more questions?"

"One, What is your name?'' Jordan smiled, ''My name is Jordan and that's all that really matters. So Razlif, what do Cockatrice eat?''
"Well oh um we eat both meat and plants, and we aren't picky.''

Jordan smiled, ''Good, you hungry?'' he asked while pointing to the berries and deer meat. Razlif nodded slowly, ''Cooked or raw?'' Jordan asked. ''Raw will be fine.''

Jordan nodded and handed Razlif a slab of deer meat who wasted no time and tore at the flesh with beak and teeth. While Razlif ate, Jordan busied himself with cooking his portion. While the meat cooked slowly Sil asked, ''Why do you burn your food?" He scratched his chin and began, ''Well my kind are built differently on the inside. Some meat we can eat raw, while others if eaten raw will make us deathly sick. My dad once caught food poisoning, said it was like having a knife in your gut. I do admittedly like my meat rare and a bit bloody, but I'm not stupid enough to think I have a iron stomach.'' Sil nodded thoughtfully layed down with his head on his paw's, the rest of the pack followed suit.

The only sound that could be heard through the campsite was the sound of a few insects, some animals, and the sound of Jordan and Razlif eating. 'Funny, never thought I'd share a meal with a mythical creature in the company of a pack of Wolves made from wood.' He shrugged mentally, shit tends to happen, better to go with the flow. He popped the last of the deer meat into his mouth and chew while thinking.

He looked up at the stars, they were much clearer here since there was no smog. He could make out the Big Dipper, Canis Major, the Milky Way, and just maybe saw a shooting star. This place was a lot cleaner and peaceful than Earth. 'Hmm well that's debateable now I guess.'

He looked at the others and saw that they were all ready to drop off. ''Well, night, guys,'' he said as he layed his pack against the base of a tree behind him. He rested his head on it and closed his eyes, soon falling asleep as the rest mumbled their own ''Good Nights.'' The fire slowly burned throughout the night as if it were diligently keeping watch as the tired group rested.

It wasn't long before Jordan slowly opened his eyes. He rubbed them absently and looked around the camp to see Razlif sleeping, yes like a regular chicken does. He then saw Sil and the others sleeping just like any other canine save for Razor who was currently on his back with one paw on his stomach. Jordan chuckled at how human it looked and slowly stood up, stretching his joints and back. The popping caused six pairs of ears to twitch. The respective owners of these ear's also slowly began to wake up.

While the others began to wake themselves, Jordan grabbed his canteen from his pack and proceeded to pour some of the water on his head and face. He swirled a mouthful and spat this out onto the dying fire, causing it to sizzle and steam. He grabbed a handful of berries and munched on them, following with a swig of water. He looked up at the sky, the sun was just barely rising.

''Alright, while we got the time, lets go and drop off Razlif and then make a stop at that river.'' The Pack and Razlif nodded and Jordan began to kick some dirt onto the fire. ''You all ready?'' he asked as he grabbed his pack and slung it over his shoulders. eagerly

They nodded their consent and began their walk back to the Cockatrice Nest. They traveled in relative silence, only the sound of the Forest being heard. The trip was quite uneventful with the occasional sightings of the very large spiders, Jordan almost smashed one with his Terra forming powers. The same Cockatrice from yesterday met Jordan and the rest near the Nest. They bowed in respect towards Razlif and in gratitude towards Jordan and his Pack. He turned to Razlif and said, ''Tell your gramps to be ready when I need his help.''

Razlif nodded, ''I will and again, thank you for saving me, Jordan.''

Jordan waved his hand, ''Don't worry about it, because of you I gained an Ace and I plan on gaining a whole lot more. Just try not to wander to much, yeah?" Razlif chuckled softly, ''Yeah, I'll try and be safe.''

Jordan turned around and began walking towards the river while waving a hand towards Razlif and the other Cockatrice. The Wolves followed close behind and Jordan whistled a tuneless tune. They walked in silence, well if you counted no one talking but the Forest echoing with animals and insects going about their business as silence. While the Wolves followed quietly, Jordan began to think about his next Ally. He had Timber Wolves and Cockatrice, as well as a Hydra. All pluses, but it wasn't enough. He would possibly have the Ponies but he wasn't to sure about their fighting capabilities. He'd most likely use them for magical purposes such as healing and offensive magic. He had an Ace, the Hydra, he had a nice defence, the Cockatrice, and he had an okay attack force, the Timber Wolves. There were some more things he needed in his army. He needed heavy hitters, he needed some brute force. He also needed some forces in the air, he knew that there were some pegasus, but he didn't know how well they'd do in the air with the Corrupted's air force.

His train of thought was interrupted with a nudge from Sil. He looked around and noticed his surroundings, they were currently in front of the river. ''Damn, sorry about that guys, just thinking a little too much.'' Sil tilted his head curiously, ''Thinking about what, Jordan?'' Jordan looked at Sil, ''Do you happen to know of any possible allies that could be used as heavy hitters?''

Sil nodded, ''Yes, I have a few in mind but some of them might take a bit of convincing.'' Jordan shrugged, ''I'll do what I have to if it means gaining even just an inch of ground against the Corrupted.'' Sil looked at Jordan with respect, ''Well if its you, it shouldn't be too hard. The Diamond Dogs would be a good asset due to their natural ability to dig through most kinds of rock and because of this, most Diamond Dogs are exceptionally strong. Their only problem is their obsession over gems and low intelligence. Offer their Alpha gems and they're bound to follow you. They reside in the mountains. They look like bipedal dogs and their sizes vary. If you want a heavy hitter in the air, there are some Dragons scattered about in the Forest and in the mountains, offer them Gems and you just might be able to have them help you. Last but not least are what my kind knows as Shifters. I believe the Ponies have another name for them but I can't remember. These Shifters resemble the Ponies but differ in a few ways. For ne thing, their coat is always black. Another thing is that they all have holes scattered about on their body and their wings are insect like. We call them Shifters because they have the power to change their appearance of whatever and whoever they desire. Their magic is pretty powerful from what we've seen. They have a queen, I'm sure you could negotiate some terms with her if you tried. They live just inside the desert inside a big hive of some sort. This forest is also home to a rare type of Bear, Ursa Majors. The babies are know as Ursa Minors and are typically as large as a village, sometimes bigger. Ursa Majors could step on a village without noticing. They are very protective of their cubs and usually live in large mountains. I wound not recommend even trying with them, they're too dangerous. Not even a Dragon could fight a Ursa Minor.''

Jordan nodded and rubbed his chin thoughtfully as Sil listed possible Allies and near impossible Allies. He'd start with the Diamond Dogs and the Dragons since they seemed closer and both might want the same thing, 'Practically hiring mercs really.' The Shifter sounded really interesting, they'd be next. Later on he'd try to convince some of those Lion things to join him.

He grabbed his canteen from his pack and refilled it. He took a long drink and refilled it again. He set it back in his pack and waited patiently as Sil and the others took drinks from the river. As they refreshed themselves, Jordan took the time to enjoy his surrounding. He sat down near the waters surface, and watched as all kinds of fish flitted by looking at him curiously. Back in his world he fished whenever he got the chance, it was like a stress reliever. He looked past them and saw some turtles catching some sun on a thick branch sticking out of the water. Before Jordan got here, in his world it was the middle of Winter. Here, it was probably the middle of Spring or Summer.

His eyes wandered skywards and he saw that there was not a cloud in the sky and the sun still on the rise. He reached into his pocket and brought his cellphone out. He hit the Home button and looked at the time, 12:34. He slipped it back into his pocket and looked at his Pack. They were done getting refreshed and were waiting for him. ''Alright guys lets get back to that swamp, we got a meeting to attend.'' They nodded in acknowledgment and began to follow him as he began to walk.

Half an hour later, they were waiting at the same spot where they met the six ponies from yesterday. While they began their wait, Jordan decided to play with his powers to pass the time. He started with his Terra forming powers and brought up a block of stone, just a regular block of rock. He then began to form an image in his head. He raised his hand towards the block of stone and with a focused image in his head, he closed his fist in one fast motion. Almost instantly most of the stone crumbled away from the block, leaving a half formed Angel, a Weeping Angel to be exact. His head didn't hurt as much as it normally did when he used them and he wasn't breathing as hard as before.

Sil and the others were watching him curiously now as Jordan raised three more statues of the same Angel. Satisfied with their spacing, he began to walk away from them. After reaching at least thirty feet, he stopped. He picked up a small piece of rock the size of a quarter with his Terra powers. Making the same gun motion as last time when he fought Corrupted Lugia, he 'Pulled the trigger' and sent the rock flying. It whistled through the air at such an intense speed that when it hit one of the Angels in the chest, that Angel was completely destroyed. ''Damn, its like having a 50.cal at my fingertips.'' With a smile, he raised some more rocks, even smaller and began target practice.

Elsewhere, Two Alicorns were preparing a to visit a certain purple mare. Behind them stood a large chariot with two large pegasus attached. Behind that stood a small group of Royal Guard which consisted of Unicorns, Pegasus, and Earth Ponies all garbed in golden armor. The Earth Ponies and Unicorns each had their own chariots to be pulled by some of the Pegasus. Celestia looked at her younger sister and they both stepped onto their chariot. Soon after they were halfway to Ponyville, ''What does thou think this Human gain from this war?" asked Luna. Celestia looked at her sister, ''I hope to find that out when we meet him. I hope that he has no ill intent towards Equestria.'' Luna nodded thoughtfully, ''Well we can only hope that it is friendly.'' Both sisters turned their attention to the approaching town, wondering just what was in store for them.

In Ponyville, six mares were huddled in a certain Library going over todays plan. ''What gives Twilight? I was enjoying a nice nap,'' complained a grumpy looking rainbow maned Pegasus with a colorful lightning bolt coming out of a cloud plastered on her flanks. ''Now simmer down Rainbow Dash, ah'm sure that Twilight has a good reason why we're here,'' said a tan mare with a blonde mane topped with a old stetson. Her flank's were adorned with three apples. ''I agree with Applejack, I'm quite sure Twilight wouldn't call us together for nothing, right dear?" spoke a white mare with a purple styled mane. Her flanks were adorned with three diamonds. ''I wonder if that Human likes parties!? Or if he likes cupcakes or muffins!'' exclaimed a very hyper pink coated mare with a cotton candy looking mane. Her flank's had three ballons on each flank, two were blue and one was yellow. ''Ahem um yes the reason as to why I've asked for you to be here is that both Princesses will be arriving in a bit. We're going to meet the Human again with the Princesses,'' clarified Twilight, her flank's were adorned with a purple star surrounded with smaller white stars. ''U-um I think that one us should stay here to keep an eye on things...if that's okay with you..'' mumbled a light yellow mare with a soft pink mane. Her flank's were adorned with three butterflies. This one was currently hiding behind her mane.

''Sorry Fluttershy but we all have to attend,'' said an apologetic Twilight. ''Don't worry about a thing Flutters, if that Human tries anything funny, I'll stop him flatter than one of Twilight's pancakes,'' said a enthusiastic Rainbow Dash. Before Twilight could grumpily reply to Rainbow Dash's remark about her cooking, there was a firm knock on the Library's door. ''That must be the Princesses,'' said Twilight as she went to get the door.

Princess Celestia and Luna greeted Twilight with smiles and a small nod. Twilight returned both and backed up, letting the Princesses enter. Princess looked behind her and ordered the Guard to wait outside. They nodded in unison and placed themselves around the Library and chariots. With that taken care of, the Sisters turned towards the Ponies inside the Library. ''As you already know, there seems to be a Human inside the Everfree Forest and it claims that war will be upon us. Twilight could you please tell us what you know regarding the Human.'' Twilight nodded, ''Of course Princess, well when Applejack's and Rarity's sisters, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle also their friend Scootaloo hadn't been seen for most of the day. We then came to the conclusion that they must have entered the Forest. Just as we were about to go look for them, they came out. They said that they were attacked by a Manticore and that something called a Human saved them. If I'm correct they said his name was Jordan. When we went to go meet Jordan, we happened upon him while he was fighting a Hydra in the swamp, protecting a Cockatrice. From what we saw, he could either use Telekinesis or levitation at a proficient level. He was also commanding a pack of Timber Wolves and it seems that he can speak to animals. In the end, he made some kind of deal with the Hydra. He also seems to have other powers but wouldn't tell me,'' said a somewhat proud Twilight.

Princess Celestia nodded in thanks to her student, ''Thank you Twilight, you've given us a better insight on how to handle this.'' She looked at her sister who nodded. ''I believe its time to go meet this Human, shall we get a move on?"

All the mares save for a pleading mumbling Fluttershy nodded in unison. As the Princesses and the gang filed out of the Library, the Guard snapped to attention and awaited their orders. ''We will be traveling into the Everfree Forest to meet a possible Ally. When we reach our destination, do not engage. The Elements of Harmony will be coming with us as well.''

The Guards saluted and began preparing the chariots as the Princesses entered theirs. One of the Guard signaled Twilight and her friends to an empty chariot. They quickly entered this and with a signal from Princess Celestia, they were off into the sky heading towards the Boggy Swamps. While the Girls excitedly talked among themselves, the Princesses just waited patiently. It wasn't long before the Guard shouted that they had arrived. The Girls grew somewhat nervous and the Princesses a bit more serious as they began to descend.

Jordan was currently in the middle of shooting marble sized rocks at his targets, weeping angels. He found that the smaller the rock, the faster his 'Gun' shot. It was handy trick since it required less focus and energy than lifting boulders and smashing them onto an enemy. Just as he was about to blow apart the last of his targets, Sil and the Pack's ears began to twitch. They stood up from the shade they were lounging in. 'It's about damn time, I was getting bored.'

As he stood patiently, Sil and the others walked over to him and stood at his sides. Just seconds later seven chariots touched down from the sky and landed about 20 feet from him. These chariots were pulled by Pegasuses in gold armor. The chariots contained both Unicorn and regular Ponies also in gold armor. Two of the seven chariots however held something different. One chariot held two Ponies, definitely female. The odd thing was that they had both horn and wings as well as being an easy two feet taller than the other Ponies. They also had lone manes that had an ethereal look to them. One's coat was a proud Ivory with a mane that reminded him of the Aurora Lights. The other had a coat that was navy blue like the night and had a mane that resembled the starry night. Both had an air of power around them and both wore hoof guards and crowns. The Ivory's being Gold and the Navy Blue's being Silver and Black. They both had a crest of some sort on their chest, the Ivory's being Gold with gems and the Navy Blue's being Black with a crescent moon on it. 'They have pictures on their ass..why does that feel so familiar?' he thought randomly. The Ivory's picture was that of the Sun but more celestial looking. The Navy Blue's mark was a black splotch, like the night sky with a crescent moon in the middle. Now that he noticed, they all had marks on their ass, 'Didn't Torva have the same thing? Well whatever.' the second chariot held six mares that looked familiar, 'Oh yeah, they from yesterday.'

The Guard looked wearingly at the equally weary Timber Wolves. There was a tense silence, well for the Ponies. Jordan was just waiting for them to say something. He made a point to look at his wrist as if he were looking at a watch and looked at the Ponies imploringly. The two tall Pony..things seemed to catch on and the the Ivory one opened her mouth to speak, ''Greetings Human.''

''Hello to you as well tall Pony thing,'' Jordan said calmly back. Quite a few of the Guard, there were about 20 in all, looked a little offended. Before they could say or do anything, Princess Celestia spoke again, ''I see that introductions are in order. I am Princess Celestia, this here is my younger sister, Princess Luna. We both co-rule and I am Princess of the Day, my sister, of the Night. These here stallions in armor our our country's Royal Guard. Now who might you be?''

Jordan looked thoughtful, 'Princesses huh, that explains the crowns and soldiers. ''My name is Jordan, I originally came from a different World. I was bored and wanted a little spice in my life, this is what I got, I first decided to explore but through a series of events I was needed to lead an army to protect this land. So now I'm just playing the cards I've been dealt.
Celestia and Luna looked at each other and then at Jordan, ''What do you plan to do after this war?''

'''Who knows, probably explore,'' replied Jordan as he yawned.

''Who's side are you on?" asked Celestia. To an untrained ear, that sounded like a simple question but if you listened close there was a subtle hint of suspicion.

Jordan smiled, ''Don't worry, you aren't an enemy. I'm on your side since I plan to completely destroy the bastards who attacked me.''

Some of the mares slightly flinched at his choice of words. Even Applejack wasn't needed to know that he was telling the truth. ''Why should we ally ourselves with you?" asked Celestia curiously. Jordan shrugged, ''Wether you ally yourselves with me or not doesn't affect me much. When the enemy attacks, and they will, you'll be left to fend for yourselves. I just plan to gain as many allies as possible, strength in numbers. I already have the Timber Wolves on my side and the Cockatrice. I even have a Hydra as my Ace. After this, I plan on meeting more possible allies. Also let me ask you something, has your Royal Guard ever killed? The allies I currently have do that for survival.''

Celestia and Luna slightly looked down and the mares became slightly green at the mention of killing. ''No, the Royal Guard acts as a Police force,'' answered Celestia. ''We have not had experience with war for over a thousand years. So I ask, Jordan, will you accept us as allies?"

Jordan looked at the Ponies, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully, he then remembered the kids from a few days ago. ''Yeah, sure I did say strength in numbers. And don't worry, your Royal Guard won't even be apart of the main forces. They'll probably just be used as support. I don't think that they have it in them to kill in cold blood, to be merciless on the battlefield.''

At that last remark, one of the Guard spoke up, ''What gives you the right to say that?" Jordan turned towards the voice, a blue coated Unicorn. ''The fact that you all look like your from a cartoon and that you have cute little pictures on your ass. Also the fact that I'm leading this Army.'' The Unicorn sneered at Jordan, ''You don't look like much, I bet I could whip you in a fight.''

Jordan tilted his head and smirked, ''Is that a challenge?"

Celestia rose her hoof to intervene but was stopped by Jordan raising his hand, ''Don't worry, I won't hurt him too bad.''

Almost immediately, the remaining Guard backed up and stood on the sidelines as the Princesses watched with mild fascination and a bit of horror. Celestia wanted to intervene and stop this before it went of control. ''Fear not Sister, I belive that Jordan will keep his word and would it not be a bad thing to see his powers?'' Celestia hated to admit it but she was slightly interested in seeing his powers.

The six mares on the other hand were shocked, wowed, frightened, and a little excited. From what was a rough start at an alliance became a dual between a Guard and a strange creature leading an Army. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were betting on who would win, Applejack was rooting for Jordan while Rainbow Dash the Unicorn. Fluttershy and Rarity were slightly horrified at what was currently happening. Twilight was excited at seeing what Jordan knew and Pinkie was wondering if she'd have to give Jordan a congratulation party or a consolation party.

The match's rules were no lethal magic and first one to make the other give up wins. When the match started, the Unicorn, Cross Etch, quickly brought up a barrier. Jordan just looked at Sil and the others who had decided to go back to their shaded spot, and shrugged. Cross Etch fired a lightning bolt at him, it wouldn't kill him, but it'd definitely hurt. With a small gesture with his hand, a thick wall of rock erupted from the ground, intercepting the bolt. When the bolt struck the wall, the wall barely shuddered. ''Your gonna have to do better than that if you want to hurt me~,'' Jordan practically sang which only infuriated Cross Etch. He fired fire balls and bolts of lightning but each attack was stopped by the Wall. ''I'll give you this, that's a neat trick with the barrier but your attacks are lacking.'' Jordan raised his hand and a marble sized rock floated in the air. Jordan then made the Gun motion with his hand and 'Fired', ''Bang.'' The rock whistled like all the others and hit Cross Etch's barrier. It didn't stand a chance, with a shattering sound like glass, his barrier crumbled. With a flick of his wrist, Jordan made the earth around Cross Etch surround his hooves, immobilizing him.

Before he could even curse, Jordan fired his Gun once more at Cross Etch. The difference though was that the rock had the same force of being thrown. The rock smacked him in the muzzle and Jordan simply said, ''Do you give up?" as he raised his Gun once more. With a dejected sigh and a few choice words, Cross Etch looked at Jordan, ''I concede.'' Jordan nodded and the earth around Cross's hooves broke off, releasing him from their grasp.

Applejack chuckled as Rainbow Dash looked dejected. Fluttershy and Rarity on the other hand looked relieved that no one was seriously injured. Twilight looked intrigued and fascinated at Jordan's control over the earth and looked eager to question him. Pinkie looked the happiest out of all of them and giddy that she was going to throw a congratulatory party. Celestia and Luna looked impressed and also looked intrigued about his powers. The rest of the Guard looked at Jordan with respect.

''So are we done here?" asked Jordan as he looked around at the Guard for any other challengers. They all shied away at his glance, not wanting to look hostile. He turned to Celestia as she spoke up from her earlier silence, ''Does all of your kind have powers like that, Jordan?" Jordan replied, ''Well no, my kind and world does not have magic. Our only true weapon was our knowledge and ability to adapt. When the going got tough, we got tougher, and when the going got even tougher, we became even more so.'' Celestia looked thoughtful, ''So your the only one with magic?" Jordan shook his head, ''I guess you could say these were given to me.'' Luna tilted her head, ''Who gave thou thy powers?" Jordan rubbed his chin, ''It was a pony, same type as you two, but was a guy. He seemed really old, his mark was a tree with long roots at the bottom, like this,'' he said as he showed the back of his hand. Jordan watched as the two mares looked at his hand and their eyes slowly widen. He heard Luna mutter, ''It can't be,'' and Celestia say something similar. ''Does thou know the name of this Stallion?" asked Luna. ''Yeah, he said his name was Torva and he was the God of Nature.''

Celestia and Luna looked at each other, ''It was him, is he still alive?" asked Celestia, almost desperately. Jordan shook his head, ''He's dead, I just met what was left of his soul and absorbed it. So I take it you understand why I'm in a hurry to gain allies?" They nodded solemnly, ''May I ask, who are these possible Allies that you intend to meet?" asked Celestia. ''Well I plan to recruit the Diamond Dogs, some Dragons if possible, something that the Timber Wolves call Shifters, apparently they can change their shape. I'm hoping that these Shifters have some strong magic. If I get the chance I also plan to get some of these weird Lion looking things, the Timber Wolves call them Stingers. I want to try to recruit some Ursa Majors but I'm told that's a suicide mission, still gonna try though.''

Celestia's and Luna's eyes widened in shock and narrowed when he mentioned Shifters. ''Did they tell you what theses Shifters looked like?" Celestia said almost urgently. ''They said something about them looking like insects and that they could change their form, you know them?" Jordan asked curiously. ''Oh I know them, Equestria knows them as Changelings. They feed off love and take the form of the one you love the most. Their magic is strong and they get stronger off the love the feed on. They invaded our capital and their queen posed as my niece during her wedding. They almost managed it but thanks to my student, Twilight Sparkle, we were able to repel them.''
Jordan nodded and absorbed this newfound information. Yes they did try to invade Equestria, but it seems they did it for food. ''Did they kill anyone or severely injure any of your subjects?" At this question, Celestia shook her head slowly, unsure were this conversation was going. ''Well from what you've told me, it seems they did what was necessary and took action. If I were in their Queen's shoes, I'd do the same thing. From what the Wolves told me, they live just on the outside of the dessert outside of the Everfree forest. Now if I were a Queen and I needed to feed my loyal subjects and I lived in the dessert where growing food is near impossible, plus I have a lot of mouths to feed, what would I use as a substitute? And if you think about it, the Queen put herself in harms way just to ensure her plan succeeded. Her subjects need to feed on love or face starvation, but they didn't starve did they? Where did they get the love from, well its only a theory but I think that it was her love that kept them going.''

Both Princesses looked down in shame, just thinking that there was a species out there on the brink of Starvation, but kept alive by the Queen's love. ''I never thought of it that way..'' said Celestia. ''There are always three sides to a story, Your side, Their side, and the Truth. Now if you could, would you tell me the name of their Queen?" Celestia nodded, ''Very well, her name is Chrysalis and she almost resembles us in height, magic, and having wings and a horn.''

Jordan thanked the Princesses gestured for the Wolves to join him. When they reached his side, he turned around and began to leave. ''Wait, where are thou off to,'' said Luna who was mostly quiet during the conversation. ''I got Allies to gain and things to kill,'' he replied. ''Could thou at least join us for lunch, I'm sure Twilight Sparkle and her friends have questions they'd like to ask,'' Luna asked.

Jordan looked at the mentioned Ponies and saw their faces. He sighed and rubbed a hand down his face, ''Sure, but only if my friends come too.'' Luna looked at her older Sister who nodded, ''It is settled, to Canterlot,'' she said just a tad bit enthusiastically. ''Question, is Canterlot your capital?" Jordan asked curiously. ''Yes, tis a marvelous city built upon the side of a mountain,'' she said proudly. ''And is it filled with nobles?" he also asked. ''Also yes, tis a city practically filled with nobles,'' she confirmed. ''I'm not going, I'll probably punch one of them,'' he casually said.

Celestia and Luna gave him a wide-eyed look while the Wolves barked a chuckle, they'd seen him punch one of those large spiders when it got to close to him when his back was turned. "Why would thou even say such a thing?" Luna gasped. ''I don't like rich people who think everyone else is dirt compared to them,'' he stated calmly. Celestia said inwardly, 'Lets hope Blueblood never meets Jordan.'' Before anything else could be said, Twilight stepped out of her silence, ''How about Ponyville? Its a small quiet little town and everyone is really friendly,'' she offered. Celestia looked at Jordan, asking, ''Is that okay with you?" Jordan looked thoughtful, ''Huh, yeah sure, as long as no angry townspeople chase me with pitchforks and torches then I'm alright with it. What would they say about my friends?" he asked, gesturing towards the Wolves. ''I'm sure if the Princesses explained everything it would be alright,'' she said confidently. She then took in his attire, ''Um but I'm not sure how they would react if they saw you with ripped clothing stained with blood,'' she said, her ears drooping slightly.

Jordan weighed his options, go to a snob filled capital and risk jail for assault or face an angry mob of ponies. ''Lead the way,'' he said with a sigh. Celestia told the Guard to head back to the castle and the let the staff that she and Luna were on important business. They saluted and took off into the sky, all that was left was her, Luna, Twilight and her friends, Jordan, and his Timber Wolve friends. In a matter of minutes, they were off. Travel was quiet save for Pinkie's rambling and Rarity's complaints about her dirty hooves. The mares were nervous inside the forest, even with two Goddesses and a Human with powerful magic. The animal noises and eerie trees put them on edge, especially poor Fluttershy. Jordan and the Wolves took the walk in stride, only weary of an ambush by the Corrupted.

It wasn't long before they reached Ponyville and Jordan prepared his eyes for the oncoming storm of bright colors. They crossed the bridge and entered the town with Jordan and his Pack in the middle. It wasn't long before the town's Ponies began to notice the Princesses walking through town and the strange bipedal creature walking with a pack of Timber Wolves. Some looked like they were ready to scream and run but the sight of the Princesses and Elements of Harmony eased their nerves.

They stopped in front of a building that looked as if it was made entirely from sweets. 'I already feel cavities growing just looking at this place' he thought while amazed at the architecture. They entered and were greeted by a tall lanky stallion and a plump mare. The color of their coats made Jordan's head hurt, he couldn't even describe the stallion's and the mares was like a neon blue. Her mane looked like a swirl of pink icing and the stallion's was that of a carrot cake color. ''Oh Pinkie dear, why didn't you tell us that the Princesses were coming for a visit,'' asked the pleasantly plump mare. ''I'm sorry Miss Cupcake for me and my sister's intrusion, we plan to have lunch here with our friend,'' Celestia said while gesturing towards Jordan. They looked to where her hoof was pointing and their eyes widened. Jordan just waved casually, ''Of course Princess, it would be our pleasure to serve you and your friend,'' the stallion manged to sputter. ''Thank thee Carrot Cake, we promise not to cause thou trouble,'' quipped Luna. They seated themselves at a large booth while Sil and the Others layed on the ground and closed their eyes, resting. The lanky stallion, Carrot Cake, came over to take their orders. Celestia ordered a chocolate slice of cake, Luna ordered a plate of fudge with a glass of milk, Fluttershy and Rarity ordered a strawberry smoothie, Twilight ordered a Vanilla shake, Rainbow Dash ordered some vanilla ice cream with sprinkles, Applejack ordered a apple pie, and Pinkie Pie ordered a cupcake. Carrot Cake turned to Jordan as he looked at the menu, ''I'll have the caramel sundae.'' Carrot Cake wrote down the orders and stopped Pinkie as she got up, ''Today's your day off Pinkie, enjoy it.'' As he left to go fill the orders Jordan looked at Pinkie Pie, ''You work here," slightly not surprised. The pink very hyper Pony nodded rapidly, ''Yup, I live with the Cakes and work here. Its super fun and I love to bake and bring smiles to everypony. I even watch their foals when they need me to,'' she finished with one breath. Jordan whistled in awe, wondering how many energy drinks and sugar he'd have to consume to be like her.

The Ponies chatted idly with each other while they waited for their orders. The Princesses stared at Jordan, feeling their stares he returned their stare, ''Can I help you with something?" The Princesses, realizing that they had been staring, blushed slightly, ''Sorry, we're curious about your age is all,'' said a curious Celestia. Luna nodded in confirmation, ''Thou speaks as if thou hath lived for a very long time.'' Jordan said casually, ''I'm about to turn 17, satisfied?" Luna spoke up at his answer, ''We would have thought thou would have been older.'' Jordan shrugged, ''I get that a lot, what about the rest of you?'' he asked. Celestia waved a hoof casually, ''I am around 3000 give or take a few years.'' ''We are 2000,'' Luna plainly stated. Twilight raised her hand, ''I'm currently 21.'' Applejack tipped her hat, ''Ah turned 22 not ta long ago.'' Rainbow Dash shrugged her shoulders, ''Also 22.'' Pinkie bounced excitedly, '' I'm 22 turning 23 in a few months!'' Rarity placed a hoof to her chest, ''It's rude to ask a mare her age, but if you must know I'm also 22.'' Fluttershy, behind her hair, muttered something like, ''23.''

Jordan shrugged, ''So what, you're not that much older than me.'' Twilight nodded thoughtfully, ''True but we already saved Equestria plenty of times. Just a few moths ago we fought against a tyrant by the name of King Sombra who enslaved an entire kingdom,'' she said. Jordan nodded, ''Okay I see your point, but my age has nothing to do with what I'm currently doing.''

Fluttershy who was mostly quiet spoke up, ''B-but your still a colt..'' Jordan looked her way and she quietly squeaked and dove under her hair. He smiled gently so he wouldn't scare her, ''Yes I am what some of you might call a colt but in some parts of my world I'd already be seen as a Man or in your terms, a stallion.'' Twilight seeing that Jordan was talking about his World seized the chance to ask a few questions. ''If you don't mind me asking Jordan, could you perhaps tell us about your World?"

He looked at Twilight and shrugged, ''Sure.'' Twilight clapped her hooves and the surrounding mares looked interested. Twilight pulled out a notebook and pen from her saddle bags. ''Okay, first question, what kind of animals do you have on your World?'' she asked while Fluttershy perked up at that question. Jordan rubbed his chin in thought, ''Well from what I've seen, we have almost the same animals as you do save for Timber Wolves, Cockatrice, Giant Spiders, and weird Lion things with wings and a scorpions tail. Also on my World, Ponies are not sapient and we don't have Unicorns or Pegasuses.'' Most of the Ponies gasped while the rest wore looks of shock. Twilight was the first to shake off the shock and asked her next question, ''How advanced is your World compared to ours?'' The Princesses tried to look passive but their ears perked slightly. 'No use holding back,' he thought casually. ''You can't even begin to compare to our technological advances to yours. If it was a race, we'd have already been finished before you could even take a step. My kind does not have any magic as yours does like I said earlier but we make up for it with our brain power. We are the Apex predator of our World and will always be for some time..But for all the advances we've come across, we are still weak and young. We have War, we have Famines, we have variations of Plagues, and we are not perfect. As much as my Kind like to believe, we are not perfect,'' Jordan finished with a subtle hint of sadness.

Twilight devoured all of this information voraciously as a glutton would eat at a buffet. He looked at the other Ponies and saw their expressions, some wore saddened looks, others awe, and the Princesses, pity and respect. Twilight although wasted no time to ask another question, ''Could you show me an example of your Technology?" she practically begged. He shrugged, it wouldn't hurt anybody. He reached into his pocket and retrieved his phone. He placed it on the table in front of the Ponies and a look of wonder registered on all the Ponies faces. ''This is a Cellphone, my kind use this to communicate with each other over long distances. This particular Cellphone is a special type, an Android. This Android has many features, such as being able to take pictures.'' He raised his phone and turned the screen on. He touched the camera icon and aimed it at the Princesses, ''Say cheese.'' Before the Princesses could react, the Phone made a clicking sound of some sort. He turned the screen towards the Ponies and showed the Ponies a picture of Celestia and Luna with bewildered expressions.

''Another neat thing about the Android is it's ability to play music, for example,'' he exited the camera mode and switched to the Music feature. He scrolled down his playlist and chose a classical piece, Canon D. He watched the the Ponies listen quietly, it was plain to see that Rarity and Fluttershy enjoyed it as well as the Princesses. Rainbow Dash and Applejack as well as Pinkie Pie weren't as impressed. So Jordan played a different song, You Can't Take Me, by Bryan Adams. Just enough Rock and just a bit of Country for the Ponies. This song seemed to have the desired effect as Rainbow Dash mumbled something along the lines of ''Pretty Awesome'' and Applejack nodded approvingly. Pinkie Pie was excited and nodded her head with the beat.

''These are just a few of the many things my kind can do,'' Jordan said as he stopped the music and placed the Phone back in his pocket. Twilight was amazed to say the least, ''How can your kind do such things without magic!?'' she exclaimed loudly. She received a shrug from Jordan, ''This isn't even the tip of the Iceberg, we have something called the 'Internet'. Imagine if you will, a place where vast amounts of information can be located and read and even copied with ease. Think of a Library at your hands er hooves, a Library with an almost unlimited amount of knowledge. But sadly I can't access this currently so I can't show you this 'Library'.

Jordan would have continued but he noticed that all the Ponies had grown extremely quiet. He looked at them and noticed them staring at Twilight. She looked like she had been told that there was something she always wanted and almost had it within hooves reach but was suddenly told she couldn't have it.

Author's Note

Alrighty, first off I am so sorry that it took me this long to update. My Net was off for a while and I had to reedit this chapter so damn much, not to mention the fact every time I wanted to end it, It wouldn't sit well with me. Well the only upside is a really long chapter and a bit more of talking. Please leave a comment and tell me what you think.
