Within the chaos several bipedal creatures flooded into the room pointing what looked to be like weapons at the remaining guards that survived the explosion and at Celestia herself. “What’ is the meaning of this!” she demanded looking at the creatures that stormed her throne room. --- Two Years ago--- Two weeks before the First ISA Invasion of Helghan. Scolar Visari was pacing back and forth waiting for the news of his civilians being finished evacuation. The Stress of being Autarch was getting to him like all men with great power and his face was truly showing the effects. The Nation he built for over ten years is about to fall and he knew it. With news that the ISA was planning 'The Invasion of Helghan', he knew that all the Women and Children are needed to be evacuated along with the men who can fight in the battles are to come to war with The Helghast. These are his people and the ISA is due to show their faces to destroy what he has built. "Visari, my friend" Called a Man in his late fifties. "Three Stahl Arms Battleships, and advanced Cruisers are ready at your command to escort our people to a new home." "Thank you Stahl. These are the survivors of our nation." Replied Visari Grimly as he knew, the people would never want to leave their beloved home. Their beloved Helghan. "Are you sure, they will survive the trip?" "I'm most certain that our people can handle the effects of the Wormhole." Stahl replied with a voice of arrogance. "I designed these ships myself for the trip and I know they will not die on the other end." Visari Look at Stahl for a few moments, the stress in his eyes, All his work soon to be fore nothing. As he turned to look at his most trusted Commander, Colonel Radec. "Give the order to start the launches. Tell General Lee, if he needs to, take the planet by force, he has more than enough troops to do what he needs." As Visari looked around the room, he tilted his head and gave a little grin, "I'll give them a speech for the people to remember Helghan with, may one day they return if the planet is doomed." Planet Helghan Stahl Ship Yards In the Helghast Battleship, HGE Visari sat a young commander who just graduated Radec's Academy for Commanding Officers at the top of his class. Unlike the other General's of the Helghast Military, he never wore the thick armor, and helmet like what most commanders, he was more of a military suit and tie type of guy when he was behind the front lines. General Lee Visari was sitting at his desk in his Flagship. 'I thought Admirals get control of fleets, how did I get this job, and its not even in my branch of the military I signed up for.' He thought to himself. He placed his feet up on the desk to relax since there was nothing to do until these ships launch to who knows where. His uncle Visari picked him out especially for this mission. His goal was to escort the civilian ships to some new planet and defend them. The rest, the computer is programmed with special jump coordinates and protocols until we reach the destination. As he drifted to sleep a loud metallic voice awoke him from his slumber, startling him and causing him to fall out of his Chair. "General Lee, Wake up!" Yelled Radec. His Hologram appeared over his desk. Radec had his Helmet and face mask off which was rare to see happen, but never the less, he was ticked. "Sleeping on the Job, I should have you court marital and shot for that! " he yelled. "But I can't, because I have your orders, you are to launch as soon as the last of your troops had boarded along with those new MAWLR units. You will receive the rest of your orders once you arrived to your destination." General Lee walked to the Bridge of his Command ship and watched two out of six massive MAWLRs being loaded and the final troops entering the ship. After about five minutes looking out the window, he turned to the captain of the ship, "How long unlit we are ready to launch?" "Not for another three hours, we got another two ships that just got assigned to us. Mega Carriers" replied the captain. The Captain was a Female who easily got into the Helghast Navy by her wits a lone. The Helghan People are displeased of females in the Military and should be at home where it is safe, but Jane Adams wanted adventure, something exciting. And she proved it in front of Radec with out writting him and passing though Ship command like it was a piece of cake. "Why more ships? We have over 150,000 troops 50,000 Tanks, 6 MAWLRs and and 50,000 fighters, ATACs and god knows what else." "I believe these carriers are carrying Stahl Arm's Instant Civil structures, They say, you Drop and it builds itself in seconds. From what I read, its not a permanent fix, but its enough to get our civilians a home until we can get real buildings built." "Well, that's good" replied Lee, looking at both of the Carriers's manifest. Another 150,000 Troops ,two MAWLRs and several support craft and vehicles. "You think we are going to war with all these Military personal." "You are telling me, personally, I think we are invading another Planet and colonizing it at this rate." said Jane with sorrow in her voice, "That's all we need, another war. Its like its not enough. A War with the ISA that we are losing, we start a second front." Lee looked out the windows with holding his hands behind his back, "That's all we need right now" he said in a grim sarcastic Voice. Four Hours Later The Fleet of Ships was now entering Helghan orbit, "All Civilian Ships are accounted for Lee." said Jane, her voice was tense with stress, they had a poor lift off witch almost crashed the ship into the ground because of a faulty thruster at the front of the ship. "Good, now I don't want us crash landing where are are heading either, we don't need to be de-" Lee was then cut off by a Hologram of Scolar Visari, "Nephew." said Visari in a Grim voice. "My Autarch" said Lee as he knelled in front of the Hologram. "We are ready to jump when you give the word." "That's good to here, It is time for you to know the true nature of this mission. We sent probes into a wormhole which reported back a Planet that is habitable. There are intelligent species on the planet from what we gathered but very peaceful. But according to the probe, if they proven to be a threat, destroy them." The Hologram then disappeared and the image of Scolar Visari appeared on every screen on every ship. "My people... Sons and Daughters of Helghan... For many years, we have been a broken nation: shunned, oppressed, and conquered by those we sought to escape. Ten years ago, I asked for time, and that time was granted by you. You: the strength in my arm, the holders of my dreams... Our forefathers embarked on the greatest exodus in the history of all mankind. An exodus for freedom, Helghan became that freedom. Our new world changed our bodies. At first, it weakened us, but in fact, we were growing... stronger. In the time you have given me, I have rebuilt our nation, I have rebuilt our strength, and I have rebuilt our pride! But the ISA threaten our Freedom, they plan to destroy what we worked so hard for, but we'll never give them the pleasure. As of today, my nephew, Lee Visari, is now Autarch of New Helghan. May he guide you to a new home." Author's Note If you enjoy this story, please let me know. I'm still looking for a more permanent editor for my Story Thank you for editing this chapter XenoJohn //-------------------------------------------------------// First Contact //-------------------------------------------------------// First Contact Twilight Sparkle, her friends and all of Ponyville sat on the outskirts of town waited for Luna’s falling star show to begin to celebrate Equestria’s Independence Day from Discourd’s rule over the lands and celebrate the sisters coming into power. “When will the show start?” asked a very impatient Rainbow Dash. She was sitting down while munching on a slice of cake. “Soon,” replied Twilight with an annoyed grunt in her voice. “You asked that question 20 times already.” “How soon?” asked Rainbow. “I’m completely bored.” “Just a couple of minutes” replied Twilight. “The moon has to reach its highest point before the show starts. “ But as Twilight finished her sentence, several green flashes appeared in the night sky followed by several fire balls falling from the sky. “Sir, we are beginning our approach now,” reported the Helmsman. “We should be coming out of warp just outside of the planet’s atmosphere” “Good, prepare the landing craft,” commanded Lee. I want to scout out possible landing zones for those carriers.” “Right away,” replied Jane as she bowed her head and moved her arm across her chest. “And I want our best down there since I’m going with them. I want to see this planet for myself,” said Lee as he left the bridge and headed to the Hanger decks. As the ship lurched out of warp, the Hanger doors of the HGE Visari slowly open as a wave of several red streaks left the ship to the planet below. The Pony’s of Ponyvill watched several red streaks zoomed across the night sky along with the falling show. But that all changed when the red streaks was falling towards the small town followed by several loud booms. Before the ponies could run away, the object passed them and headed to the Everfree forest. “What in Tartarus was that?” yelled Applejack with her ears still ringing from the explosion and a extremely loud rumble the followed it. “I don’t know but it was heading for the Everfree,” replied Twilight. “Well, I want to find out” said Rainbow Dash as she was about to zoom to where the objects went until she felt her tail being tugged. “Thish ish a bad idea Rainbow” said Applejack as she was holding Rainbow to the ground. “Let go of-” Before Rainbow was able to finish her sentence, several explosions and pops was emitting from the Everfree followed but several blue flashes with sounds of lighting being discharging causing the Ponies of Ponyvill for flee in fright to their homes except for the mane six. But after ten minutes, these strange occurrences fell silent. After waiting twenty minutes after the forest went quiet, Twilight decided to investigate what had happen in the Everfree. “Where do you think you are going Twilight?” asked Applejack with concern. “To see what happened that caused all of those explosions,” replied Twilight. “If you are going, I’m going too,” said Rainbow dash. “Fine, I should go as well, somepony would need to keep Rainbow out of trouble anyways,” said Applejack following the two mares to the Everfree. “Wait up for me” yelled Pinkie as a pink blur passed the three Ponys. “Are you coming Fluttershy and Rarity?” asked Applejack “I suppose so,” grunted Rarity. “Come on Fluttershy.” As the shuttlecraft landed in a clearing of the forest, the Helghast troops poured out of their shuttlecrafts to create a perimeter for Lee. “All Clear” called Captain Sanders Lee walked out of his shuttlecraft and took a deep breath of this alien atmosphere air. “Captain, we passed a settlement on our way here a few click east of here. I want to meet these creatures peacefully. Is that understood?” “Yes sir” replied Sanders as he turned around and started commanding his troops to form up and prepare for departure. The troops were then caught off guard as several creatures that seem to be a cross of a lion, scorpion and god know what not is now chargingtheir position. “Open Fire!” yelled captain Sanders. “Protect the Autarch!” “Don’t let them flank us.” “Where is that god damn RPG” “Fire! Fire! Fire!” The soldiers yelled as the battle went on. Sanders dashed to the armory shuttle to grab the VC5 Arc Rifle. But before we could reach it, one of the creatures was able to get through the line and stabbed Sanders through his heart with its tail. However the creature didn’t last long as Lee shot the creature through the head creating a bloody mess. There was no time to mourn the loss of his captain of his personal guard as he rushed to the shuttle to grab the Arc Rifle. As the next creature was able to get through the line, it was met with several bolts if lighting jolting through its system, cooking him from the inside out and causing it to fall flat on it face as it died. The battle only lasted ten minutes though. A creature peppered with bullets here, another one with its front end completely blown off from a RPG round, a few still smolding from a flame thrower burning it alive. And then finally a few that made its way through to be only electrocuted by the Arc Rifle. Then there were the few dead troops that were on the ground including Captain Sanders. “What is our situation Sargent…What was your name?” asked Lee. “My name is Jackson Radec. Mael Radec is my brother.” replied the Sargent “Good, Hopefully you will as good as your bother than. And you just got promoted to Captain, ” said Lee. “What about our situation?” “We have ten wounded and fifthteen dead or missing,” replied the newer Captain. “Damn, that was almost half of our entire ground force,” cursed Lee under his breath. “Treat the wounded first and get them stable, then we’ll march to that settlement east of here.” As time moved on ad the wounded was being treated, voices began emitting from the forest. One seems to be talking a million words per second while the others seem to be groaning about something. “Scouts, to and investigate those voices. Bring them to me. If they are hostile, kill them,” commanded Lee. “Pink, can you please be quite?” asked Twilight. “There is no such thing as Aliens.” “Yes there are. I see them in my Dreams,” said Pinkie excitedly. “They comedown and take you to their ship. And they stick these things in your plot.” “Pinkie, Can you cut that you’re scaring Fluttershy,” said Rarity finally. Fluttershy was now extremely frightened about going alone with her friends now. She didn’t want to be abducted and taken to their space craft to have experiments done to her. “Fluttershy. You know Pinkie likes to kid,” said Twilight glaring at Pinkie do she would shut up. “Sorry Fluttershy,” said Pinkie. “Its Alri-” Fluttlershy was cut off as she bumped into something. But she was confused. There was nothing there, but yet she could feel something here. After she tapped the invisible object again, two red lights began to shine looking straight at her, Followed by a mask and then the whole body. Fluttershy couldn’t move. She was too terrified of this creature to even move. “Fluttershy are you com….ing?” Asked Rainbow Dash as she poked her head out of the bush to see the creature grabbing her friend. “You let her go!” Yelled Rainbow Dash as she was getting ready to charge the creature when another one grabbed her and tired her wings down. “You will come with us” said one of the creatures with a low voice that almost sounded mechanical. Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie and Applejack wasn’t aware they were being watched or even that Rainbow and Fluttershy had been captured. Has they got closer to the clearing what looked like where the explosions came from all of them walked on something slick but yet crimson. “What is this?” asked Twilight as she tracked the trail to its beginnings. But then she wished she hadn’t. There on the ground was several Manticores the seemed to peppered by something and ones that was missing entire parts of their bodies. The smell was horrendous as she tried not to vomit. Rarity was about to faint onto the ground until Applejack caught her. Surprisingly Applejack wasn’t too bothered about this. But then again she lived on a farm and she witnessed her parents being killed in front of here by an extremely heavy cart. As they turn quickly to try and leave, several creatures surrounded them their eyes were as red has crimson, their masks made them so evil and yet peaceful, like they came from Tartarus. On top of that pointing what looks to be like weapons at them. “If you think sticks and evil looks would keep us from running? you thought wrong,” said Applejack as she prepared to run until on of the creatures fired one of the sticks and hit Applejack’s front leg. Applejack’s leg exploded in immense pain. A pain the she never felt before. It felt like she broke her leg at the same time it was on fire. Each time she tried to place weight on it, it collapsed from the pain causing her to fall over. “AppleJack!” Cried Twilight and Pinkie as they watched her get shot and fall to the grown. “You Monsters!” cried Pinkie as she looked like she wanted to attack the creatures that hurt her friend. “Surrender or die!” said one of the creatures. Pinkie geared up to attack the closet creature and charged only to be caught in a purple ora keeping her still. “No Pinkie. “ said Twilight. She didn’t want to lose a friend to these creatures like this. “We surrender,” said Twilight submissively Author's Note I would like to thank XenoJohn for Editing Chapter two for me.

I tried and I just can't //-------------------------------------------------------// Meet the Helghast //-------------------------------------------------------// Meet the Helghast “Sir, we captured the creatures. One is wounded but she’ll be alright,” reported Jackson “She?” questioned Lee. “Yes a she. They seem to be ponies and from what our scouts gathered, they are a peaceful race and speak perfect English." “Well… in that case. Bring me one of those ponies that you captured,” Commanded Lee. “Make sure that the wounded one is being taken care of. Medically. I don’t want these creatures to hate us just yet.” “As you wish my Autarch.” Twilight and her friends were being held in what appeared to be a cage. Applejack was still on the ground in pain front her front leg. Rainbow ‘s wings was tied to her sides with a type of metal rope and had what looked to be like a muzzle over her mouth to basically shut her up. To tell you the truth, she looked very pissed that she was beaten by people who wear masks. Rarity was still out and Pinkie was helping Fluttershy cope with her shock and awe of the scary creatures she encountered that night. It was now morning when finally one of the creatures walked up the cage. “You, the purple one, you are to come with me,” said one of the creatures walking up to the cage. “As for you orange one, you are to go with Private Bradley. " “Where are you taking her?” blurted Twilight with great worry. “None of your damned business!” shouted the creature making Twilight fringe. “You be a good Pony and follow me.” The creature said again. Twilight knew she had no choice but of course she followed the creature when the door of the cage opened. She watched as Bradley walked in and grabbed Applejack causing her to scream in pain until she was up and over the creature’s shoulder. Applejack was in pain from this Bradley grabbing her bad leg and pulling her up onto its shoulder. It felt like ages while the creature walked to this some type of structure in the middle of the clearing. Before she could say a word, the creature tossed her to the ground and left. But before it got very far, another creature yelled at the one who dropped her to the ground. “What the hell are you doing Private? The Autarch said he wanted her healed, not more injured you idiot. If she died he'd make us chop off our own heads!” The creature shouted. This new creature turned to face Applejack. “Hello, I’m Doctor Clarkson, field medic first class. Now let’s look at your leg.” Applejack lifted her leg so the Doctor can inspect it. The bleeding had stopped for some time but it was still quite very painful. “You’re very lucky that the scout that shot you. Good thing he knew what he was doing, miss...?” “Applejack. How am ah lucky? Ah got hit by Celestia knows what and ended up captured and-” Applejack was interrupted by the pain as the Doctor inserted something in her wound and pulled out the piece of metal that was lodged in her leg. “If this was a little bit to the left, your leg would of had to be amputated,” said the Doctor as he applied pressure to the now bleeding wound. “Sorry, I know you’re in pain and all but that’s all I can do. If I gave you pain medicine, it may kill you since it’s designed for Humans not horses.” “I’m not a horse, I’m, a pony,” gritted Applejack through her teeth from the pain. “Still, the dosage could be too great and could easily end up killing you within seconds.” Twilight followed the creature to the center of the clearing to come face to face with what seemed to be these creatures leader. No fur, only a mane and seemed to be dressed quite nicely. “Jackson, you may leave.” Said the Creature looking at the one that leader her here. Then it looked to her. “Come over here and sit down miss…” “Twilight Sparkle, and why? You foalnapped us, hurt one of my friends. Heck you-” “Miss Twilight, calm down. I’ll get to that in due time. I’m Lee Visari, Autarch of the Helghast People,” said Lee. “I apologize for any traumatic damage. See, when we landed here, we were attacked by those lion things.” “Manticors.” inserted Twilight “Manticors…I lost almost half of my force to those things and we didn’t know if you and your group were hostile or friendly. My captain stated that one of your friends was shot and is being treated by our field Doctor. As for your friends, they will be freed when we are done talking.” With the knowledge that her friends will be safe, Twilight started to have questions popping in her head. “Where are you from? What’s is the name of your species? How did you get here?” asked Twilight with a million questions per minute. Lee was forced to place his hand up to make Twilight stop asking so many questions at once. “My species are called Helghast. My People and I were originally were Humans until the first Solar War.” “Solar what?” asked Twilight? “Solar War. My ancestors originated from Earth. Before the Solar war, All humans lived on Earth. There was several Nations across the world back then until the resources started drying up. Then a Massive war broke out ravaging the whole planet until there was nothing left. The United Colonel Nations was set up to colonize the stars. The first wave of new colonist disappeared that was heading to two distinct planets in the Alpha Centari System. With the loss of those ships, the UCN opened the planets for bidding the Helghast Corporation bought out both of the Planets.” “Helghast Corporation? I thought that Helghast was the name of your species.” Asked Twilight “Well, it is. But back then it was a company name,” replied Lee. “The Corporation colonized those two planets in the Alpha Centary System. Veta lush and life like, more like this planet and Helghan was habitual but harsh planet. With owning both planets, the corporation became rich beyond your wildest dream from the trade and travel industry until the USN became jealous and invaded Veta causing my people to flee to Helghan and colonized Helghan. The planet changed us and mutated us. Under our new Leader, Scolar Visari, we reformed our armies to retake Veta to stop them launching an attack on our new home. Sadly we failed and with an impending invasion, my uncle Scolar Visari sent me and another wave of colonist to live on and keep the Heghast Spirit alive.” Twilight didn't know what to think. These people ran from chaos and decay with nowhere to go and nothing to call home. “I’m sorry. But I can’t just give you land. That has to go through the Princess. But with due time, we should be able to help you in your time of need.” “Thank you Twilight. We’ll free your friends and return to our ship in orbit,” said Lee with a cheerful tone of voice. “Here, you’ll need this to communicate to us when you need to.” Lee handed Twilight a communicator “Press this button when you have an answer from your leader.” Said Lee as Twilight grabbed it with her magical aura before she turned to leave “Jackson. I want those six ponies to be released. I’m sure our new found friend would be more than help on colonizing this Planet.” “Right away sir.” As Twilight was returned to her friends, the cage door open to allow her friends to leave. Rarity finally awoke scuffing on how tacky these creatures’ uniform was and wanted the fashion disaster to disappear from her sight. “Let’s get out of here as soon as possible when they return Applejack from getting her leg healed. “ It wasn’t a long wait though as Applejack cam trotting back with her healed leg. To her, her leg felt never better than before. Even though it was a little bit heavier than before but that war from the medicine the doctor inserted to keep the infection away that the bullet may cause. As the Ponies left the clearing Lee ordered his troop onto the shuttle and to return to the fleet above awaiting the message from Twilight Sparkle. Author's Note I would like to thank XenoJohn for editing Chapter 3 //-------------------------------------------------------// A New Home //-------------------------------------------------------// A New Home “Twilight, I can’t believe you’re going to help them,” argued Rainbow. “They Captured us the threated us. And now they expect us to help them?” “They lost their home world and are in a time of need,” Twilight argued back. “The first thing they came across when they landed was Manticors and they were attacked. What do you expect them to treat another unknown species when the last one attacked them.“ Twilight said “You got a point there sugar cube. Their doctor was very nice and patched me up in seconds,” said Applejack showing her now healed leg." AppleJack said. “See, If they were evil, they would of killed all of us on the spot,” Twilight said giving more logical reasions to Rainbow Dash. “When we get back, I’ll have Spike wright a letter to Princess Celestia." Three days later “Sir, we have a transmission from the planet below." said the Active Bridge Officer while the new found Admiral Jane Adams was on her break. “Patch it through,” Commanded Lee. To his surprise, it wasn’t that little purple unicorn from a few days ago but a bigger white Pony with a horn and wings. “Is this thing on?” asked the figure to no one in particular. “There is a red thing blinking. Its recording sir." said said the White Alicorn “I am Lee Visari, leader of the Helghast people. And you are...?” said Lee taking the center of the bridge. The figures jumped when Lee spoke first but manage to recompose herself. “I’m Princess Celestia, Ruler of Equestia. My star student told me that you and your race seek shelter. Is that correct? “Yes that is correct.” “I want you to come join me over tea time this afternoon to discuss the situation in greater detail so we can plan accordantly.” “Very well then. I’ll leave as soon as the shuttle can be prepared. HE Visari out,” said Lee before the view screen disappears to reveal open space. “Get Admiral Adams and Captain Jackson. Tell them to prepare shuttle 3 for departure. I want a squad of six to accompany us. Is that clear commander?” “Yes sir” replied the bridge commander. The trip wasn't very long as the shuttle left the hanger bay. All they had to do is track the single from the transmitter which didn't take long. It was only minutes when the shuttlecraft came to the City built into the mountain. As the shuttle swung around the city, they could see the Ponies flee from the streets scared from the flying craft. “Land just outside of the city gates. We’ll walk the rest of the way to the castle.” The Shuttle prepared for the final approach as it landed to what seem to be the main gates of the city. As the group left the shuttle to enter the city, they couldn’t believe that these Ponies was capable of this engineering marvel. It seem like the city was dedicated for the sky above with all the openness and lack of any tall buildings. As they walked Ponies abandon the streey ahead jumping into what ever to hide from the group. It didn’t help any with Jane, Jackson and the assault troopers had their armor on. But as the group marched up to the Castle’s front gate, Lee wasn’t really paying attention where he was going while looking at the structure in front of him until he ran into a certain white Unicorn with a silk smooth blond mane. “Watch where you are going to degenerate,” snaped the white unicorn pony with a blond mane. “You watch your tone pony.” snapped Jackson back as he stepped forward. “How dare you talk to me like that! Do you know who I am,” said the white unicorn “No and we don’t care,” stated Jane as she was ready to draw her pistol to end this annoying Pony’s life. “I’m Prince Blue Blood you degenerates. Nephew of Princess Celestia, And I say go before I make the guard arrest all nine of you.” Lee grabbed Blue Blood by the mane and forced him to look eye to eye. “You, my dear pony need to learn respect around other leaders. Especially when they are packing heavily armed security,” finished Lee before he let go of Blue Blood’s mane and stomped on Blue Blood’s face with the heal of his boot. It didn’t kill him, just left a good bruise on his face though. “Guards! Yelled Blue Blood. “Arrest this creature and his followers, He kicked me in the face.” The Ponies wearing what looked like golden armor quickly surrounded Lee’s group and pointed spheres at them. “you will come with us,” said the lead guard. “I think not. I’m here to attend business with Celestia. All I done was teach this Blue Blood some humility,” Said Lee while giving a single for one of the assault troopers to give off a warning shot. “Now if you want this pony to start a war from beings from outer space, be my guess.” As the Assault trooper pointed his gun in the air, a few loud cracks came from his gun causing the guards to recoil from the loud noise. “Get me Princess Celestia now,” demanded Lee. “What’s going on out here” said the white Alicorn as she walked outside of the castle. “Auntie Celestia, this creature kicked me in the face and embarrassed me” wined Blue Blood to his aunt. “Guards stand down. As for you Blue Blood, I would get out of here if I were you,” said Celestia as she sensed the beings in the armor wasn’t very happy about Blue Blood’s actions. Celestia walked over to Lee and his group with a small smile on her face. “You must be Lee Visari. I’m deeply sorry for my nephew’s actions. I watched the whole bit and I do enjoy it when somepony puts him inline.” “May we discuss about where we can land our ships?” asked Lee. “We only have a few more months of supplies left at most and I would like to commence the landings as soon as possible. “Oh, right away then.” As Lee Entered the Castle, Jackson , Jane and the six troopers stayed outside to explore the city. The Ponies of Canterlot was indeed scared of them because of their armor and the rumor of what happen to Blue Blood had spread rather quickly. Even the royal guards seemed to be on edge as the watched their movements. It was hours before Lee and Celestia were able to reach an agreement on where Lee and his people would be able to stay. The hundreds of acres of land was located south of Ponyville was to be used as the Helghast people saw fit for their new homes or as Lee called it Visari City named after Scalar Visari. “May our two races coexistence until the end of days.” Said Lee as he bowed his head in respect to the Princess before he left the room. Author's Note I couldn't pass having Blue Blood hit in the Face Tank you XenoJohn for editing. I'm sorry for this chapter being very boring. But Chapter 5 is when things will start up. //-------------------------------------------------------// Another War or Just how it went from the start? //-------------------------------------------------------// Another War or Just how it went from the start? Two Years Later It was over two years since the Helghast arrived in Equestria. The landscape of Equestria had changed dramatically south of Pony Ville. What was once lush green fields and forest turned into a dull gray landscape of buildings reaching the sky, massive factories bellowing smoke into the air with a massive wall the separates Visary City from the rest of Equestria and at the center of the city was a statue of Scolar Visari himself with his right hand reaching into the heavens above. The Ponies on the other hand thrived on the backbone of Helghast Production. Computers, Medical supplies, steel and several appliances shipped from Visari City on a daily basis. The Products were loved and enjoyed but the People of Helghan was treated differently. The ponies began treating the Helghast people as only workers and nothing else. The Helghan people who left the city to pursuit other interests was introduced to a world of ignorance and hate towards them. Beyond the city, there was no such thing as jobs for the Helghan People and Ponies treating them like garbage. This Treatment to the Helghan People has stressed Pony and Helghan relations very thin. Lee has become very impatient with Celestia over the short two years with his people being treated as outsiders. She has done nothing to help His people one bit. The last visit to Canterlot was nightmarish as he saw how the nobles treated his people like they were slaves. Barley making enough bits to support themselves let alone their families. Of course all Helghans are always welcome back to Visari city, but it can only support so much people with secure jobs at this time. It would be years before the Shipyards would open to employ more Helghans. With diplomatic ties running thin, Lee decided to make a trip to Canterlot. But this time he arrived with 4 squads of Personal guards since the last time one of the Nobles thought he was common Helghan folk for some odd reason and tried having him killed for refusing to some type of Job. It’s funny how the Nobles respect the Helghan Military uniform. As Lee got close to the Castle, Lee told his guards to stand at the entrance of the castle. As Lee left his Guard, one particular Noble who was still butt sore from two years ago noticed Lee without his guard as Lee entered the Castle. Blue Blood Noticed Lee walking into the castle and always hated him ever since Lee kicked him in the Face two years ago. This Helghan, this one Helghan he wanted revenge on from embarrassing him all those years ago. Ponies still make fun of him from being kicked which caused him to cry like a little filly. Or that’s what the rumors was saying. This time he will get the last laugh. “Guard!” cried Blue Blood to the new guards standing near him. “That Helghan stolen my bits from me.” The Guards were new at their post since it was their 3rd day on the job and never saw Lee before. They had to arrest several Helghan workers the other day for starting a riot in Canterlot so the two thought nothing about it. “You there. Stop Thief.” Called out one of the guards Lee thought nothing of it when the castle guards had yelled at him and continue to walk into the castle until an aura appeared around him forcing him to the floor. “What is the Meaning of this!?” Yelled Lee. “You are under arrest for the crime of stealing sir.” replied the unicorn Guard. “Guards!” yelled Lee as he tried to fight the Unicorn’s magic. “We are the Guards you thieving-” the Unicorn Guard was cut off as a Swarm of Lee’s personal Guard stormed the entrance of the Castle pointing their guns at the two Unicorn Guards. “Release our Autarch Right now.” One of the soldiers said arming his rifle. “I’m sorry, but this guy is under arrest from stealing from a Noble,” shouted the Unicorn back at Lee’s men. "Weapons free." Called Lee. Lee’s guards then open fired on the Unicorn guards, killing them on the spot. With gun firing echoing through the halls of Canterlot Castle the Guards went on high alert barricading the Princess in the Throne Room and started returning fire at Lee and his Men. Of course with superior technology and tactics the Helghast overwhelm the Palace guards and swarmed the Throne room but blowing the door off its hinges. As Lee entered the throne room, there was no emotion left for the Ponies and the stunt they just try to pull with arresting him. “What’ is the meaning of this!” demanded Celestia looking at the Helghans that stormed her throne room. “What was the meaning of your guards killing my people yesterday during a rally of better pay and benefits? What is the meaning of Your guards trying to arrest me?” question Lee back with Anger in his voice. “I have no idea what you are talking about?” said Celestia with assents of anger in her tone of voice. “I’m sure you do know what I’m talking about. Over 100 of my people were killed by your so called royal guards. We had survivors hitch a ride on our cargo shuttles and told me about the horror of what went on. And I’m placing my foot down now!” yelled Lee. “You forget who's Planet this is,” said Celestia calmly. “And who is allowing you to stay. As for your people, the guards that were responsible for that night are being punished as we speak.” “What, no pay for three weeks? That isn’t a punishment,” argued Lee back. “You give me those guards, and I’ll personally handle them.” “Killing them? Just like you killed them as you barged into my throne room,” yelled Celesta as she pointed to her dead guards that lay about the room. “I had it up to here Celestia” yelled Lee has he raised his hand to the top of his forehead. “This peaceful coexistence is over. As of today, we are at war.” With those last three Words, Lee lifted his hand to his ear and pressed the headset he had on. “Captain, are you ready” “Yes my Autarch.” replied a voice that was very audible throughout the room. “You wouldn’t,” said Celestia as she stood up to look out the windows as a Helghast Cruiser approached the city. The Ponies below and Celestia never saw one of these ships before as close as it is now to the city. The ship was long with what looked like spears protruding from the ships haul. Then that damned Humming noise. That noise that echoed through the city below. A bright blue beam erupted from one of the spears of the ships destroying everything in its path as it hit the city below. Arcs of lighting setting the city a blaze before any pony below could recover from the first beam, another one strike the ground from a different beam, then another and another. Just as the first bolt hit the city, three Equestrian Airships began charging towards the Helghan Cruiser with unicorns ready to attack the enemy ship. As the ships got into range for their attack, Celestia watched as her unicorn guard stormed the city walls and began returning fire at the attacking cruiser to find them deflected away by some type of field surrounding the ship. “You can do magic? When?” asked Celestia in horror. “You aren’t watching” replied Lee `To Celestia’s horror, the attacking Helghast ship began deploying sever glowing objects that left a white trail behind it flying to her Unicorn guard that was on the walls and destroying the wooden airships like they were nothing. Within seconds there was no such thing as a wall after the glowing object impacted and exploded. The ships on the other hand were falling to the ground as a burning heap of wood and dead bodies. As the ships hit the ground, their crystal engines exploded in several massive magical explosions setting fire to its surroundings. Any Pony that was near the crash site was completely wipe from existence. “This is how you would get my Ponies to accept you and your people?” yelled Celestia as she watched the horror unleashed below. “Your Ponies will beg me to forgive them. Right after I’m done killing you.” Replied Lee as he pulled out his Pistol and pulled the trigger. Before the bullet could even graze Celestia, she teleported away leaving the bullet to strike the wall behind her. “Where the fuck did she go?” yelled Lee as he searched around. “Kill these guards and fall back, I don’t intend on getting over ran but these ponies. Besides there is a certain empire that has all the crystals we need before we begin our full invasion of Equestria. “Yes my Autarch” replied Lee’s guards as the began opening fire on what was left of Celestia’s royal guard. Author's Note The Nobles treated the people as slaves. Celestia was trying to stop it but its one of those situations. Think of Equestian gov like the Parliament. The Nobles run the Parliament but if Celestia tried something the Nobles don't like, they could in theory, crown any one of them as Prince or Princess of Equestia and remove Celestia from her throne with a majority vote. There for Celestia has no power over the treatment of the Helghast people. I would like to thank XenoJohn for Editing And Anyone guess what empire Lee was talking about.
