When Gold sacrifices himself to stop King Zyklon Z from converting the Elements of Harmony into Nuclear weapons, he throws himself into the power core and causes it to overload and meltdown, killing him. When the base explodes, nopony knew what happened to Zyklon, so Celestia sent out guards to search the deepest regions of Equestria for him. Six years passed before the King came out of hiding. You'd think that he would bring an army or something with him, but nopony was with him! Just fucking walked into Canterlot! Nopony really recognised him with all of the red and black scars across his green body and covering his cutie mark. When he walked up to the Royal Gate to Celestia's castle, he was stopped by a dozen guards with weapons. Shining Armor emerged. He examined the pony closely, and then he pulled out a picture of Zyklon he had to keep on him at all times. He looked at the green, red, and black pony, and then the picture several times over. The only main difference was that he didn't have his horn or his dragon wings. They weren't cut off, they looked like they've never even existed. "Are you going to let me pass or what?" The king asked in a proper and polite voice. Shining Armor recognized that voice. Immediately, he ordered the guards to surround him. "I would advise against that, my dear friend. I'll give you one warning before I have to do something you're gonna regret." The green pony said politely once again. The guards pointed their weapons at him. Shining walked down to the courtyard where Zyklon was standing. The circle of guards allowed him to pass through. He came face to face with the bastard who tried to destroy the world. Shining backhooved him sending him flying twenty feet in the other direction, causing him to leave the circle of guards. Shining stood over the green pony with his face busted open. "Shouldn't have done that." The injured pony said politely once again before he let out a loud whistle. There was a loud running noise that shook the ground as Shining and the other guards tried to keep their balance. Around a corner, Shining spotted a very extremely massive gray figure appearing. It was slightly shorter than Celestia, but it was the most massive being he had ever seen. It made Iron Will and Snowflake look like complete pussies. It had no tail and no mane. In fact, the only pony thing he could see through the armor was a sapphire blue eye and a his white cheeks. He just froze up as the massive creature sprinted towards him.
