  Dante woke up to find out that Applejack wasn't with him anymore. Must've gone downstairs. He thought. He got dressed again and went down stairs, Applebloom was sitting at the table eating, he walked over to he and kissed her on the head and tussled her hair, she smiled at him walking off. He looked outside to see the Mane Six was sitting in front of the barn waiting for him, He walked towards the barn to say hello.

"Hey girls!" He said walking towards them, they turned around surprised, except Applejack. "How did you get in the barn house?" Twilight asked. "Uh woke up early." He lied through his teeth. "Alright, you ready to get outta here?" He asked. "What do you mean?" Rainbow Dash asked. He looked at Applejack and then back at them. "I guess I forgot to tell you. You girls are not gonna be here when this goes down, it's to dangerous, and I'm the only one that knows how to handle them. And I don't want you to get hurt." He said.

Rainbow Dash rushed towards him and hugged him. "No! We are a team, we stick together!" She said hugging him tighter. He hugged her back and held her tight. "I'm glad that you want to stay here, but I really don't want you to get hurt, I just, wouldn't know what I would do if something happened to you girls." He said, he felt Rainbow Dash's tears on his shoulder.

"Hey, don't worry, I found something that would let you keep eye's on me." He said, he walked into the barn and picked up spherical object. He twisted it and it opened with some buttons on it. He pushed a single button and whirred and started floating around him. "This thing is a camera, you can keep eyes on me and I can see you." He said. He picked a little tablet (no not the Apple tablets) and he pushed a button on it and showed it to them. "See that? That's us right now, you can see me with this thing." They were looking at it with confusion. "Okay just don't touch anything on this thing if you want to keep seeing me." He said.

They were walking towards the train station. "Alright remember what I told you; Get the thee Crystal Empire, and stay safe. Kay?" They all nodded. The train arrived and they were about to board but Applejack stopped them. "Wait girls, I need to say goodbye." She said.  They all stopped and looked at Dante and Applejack walked up to him. "Well, this is goodbye I guess, but not for long. Thanks for being there for us, thanks for being there for me." She put her fore hoofs on his shoulders and he wrapped his arms around her.

  They smiled at each other and then leaned in and kissed each other. The girls stood there staring at them surprised. They pulled away and smiled again. "See you on the other side." He said. "Alright girls, this is goodbye, but I'll see you again soon. I promise." He said. They all smiled and did a group hug. He watched happily as the train departed. Once it was out of sight he lowered his head and sighed.

The only people left in Ponyville were; Dante, Celestia, and Luna. He went to their castle and to the throne room. "Hey princesses. Princesses?" He looked around for them. He heard a noise and he pulled out his Plasma Cutter and hid around the corner of the bedroom.

He heard a evil laugh come from the room and then the voice said, "When the Marker's powers are released, I shall use them to create my own army, and I shall take over ALL of Equestria!" It said with an evil laugh. He kicked the door open and aimed it at the enemy and it turned. "Ah, you must be Dante." She said. 'Who the fuck are you?" He asked still aiming at her. "I am Queen Chrysalis, Queen of the changelings. And I am going to be taking over Equestria, and rebuild my empire!" He just stared at her.

"I don't think that's gonna happen today!" He shouted and fired his Plasma Cutter. She disappeared and then reappeared behind him. He turned around and  aimed at him but she shot it out of his hand and then shot him, knocking him unconscious.

  He woke up in a dungeon tied to something. He looked over to his right to see Celestia and Luna tied up the same way. They had something on their horns preventing them from using their magic. "Oh shit, what the fuck happened now?" He asked. "Chrysalis plans to use the Marker's powers to create an army and take over Equestria and build a new empire. But she does not know that they will not obey her." Celestia replied. "Right, because they're mindless slaughtering machines that eat every single fucking thing they see." Dante stated.

"I need to get outta here, back to my suit." He said struggling. Then he saw his Plasma Cutter on the table near him. He reached his leg out and tried to pull the table close to him. He managed to pull it a few inches towards him. He kicked it and made it fall off the table and slid it over to his hands behind his back. He picked it up with his bound hands and shot the chains. He walked over to the Princesses and took the magical bound off their horns and then shot their chains.

"Alright lets get the fuck outta here before all hell breaks loose!" Dante shouted. They were running towards the throne room as fast as they could. "How much longer do we have?" He asked. "We have fifteen minutes until the sun and the moon are in place!" Luna shouted. "Shit! Celestia I need you to go and get my suit! Luna, I need you to go to the moon, and open it up for me now!" He ordered them. They both flew off and he continued to run to the throne room.

  He burst through the throne room doors to see Chrysalis standing there in front of it with her changeling minions with her. "Finally, the moment is almost here. The sun and the moon are almost in place. All that power, mine, ALL MINE!" She shouted with greed. "Not today bitch!" Dante said shooting at her. He missed but he cut some of her hair off. She glared at him, he could see the rage in her eyes.

She fired her magic at him rapidly. He started to run to the left dodging her attacks. Celestia came back with his suit. "Toss it!" He shouted. She threw him the suit and he caught it and hid behind a wall. He slid into the suit and put his helmet on and then dashed forward. He fired away with his Plasma Cutter, severing and dismembering limbs. There wasn't really much changelings in the room, it would've been bad if an army were there, but there were a lot. There were limbs and blood everywhere. It was like an all out slaughterhouse. He tackled Chrysalis to the ground and put his Plasma Cutter up to her neck.

"Any last words?" He asked with his finger on the trigger. "None you'd wanna hear. "She replied. "I didn't think I even wanted to." He said slowly pulling the trigger. "Wait." Celestia said putting a hoof on his shoulder. "Just let her go." She said. He looked at her with a confused look on his face, but then he nodded. He let her go and put his Plasma Cutter away. "Go, get out of here. I don't want to see you again." He said with rage in his eyes. She glared at him, but then flew off. Then there was a loud bang, like metal clashing together.
