Where the sun doesn't shine.

Chapter 12: Where chaos transcends time.

Two hours passed as they all stood in Canterlot, trying to come up with a way to reach the moon while the Terran cleaned his rifle with a piece of cloth he found lying on the floor. Celestia, who was still in Terran form, rested against the destroyed castle wall with her arms crossed; the Mane 6 were scattered around the room.

"I just realized, I can order my engineers to construct something resembling a rocket, but it'll take ti--" Tried suggesting the Terran before being interrupted.

"That's it! Princess, you said that you banished Nightmare Moon a thousand years ago, right?" Exclaimed Twilight Sparkle.

"Yes, that's right...But even if I banished the Terran to the moon, he'll have no way to come back."

"Didn't Nightmare Moon escape from the moon once? Once he defeats her, he can find out how she escaped and come back with her!"

The room remained silent before the Terran walked towards the purple pony and the Terran princess.

"Let's get this straight, you all want Celestia to banish me to the moon, reach Nightmare Moon, find out how she escaped and come back with her? Despite the fact that if she defeats me I'll be trapped on the moon forever?"

"Yes." Said Twilight.

"...That has to be the most ridiculous plan I've ever agreed with. When do we start?"

"My magic has been...nullified, so to speak, after Discord turned me into...This." Explained Celestia. "Twilight, you and your friends must use the Elements of Harmony on the Terran and send him to the moon. It is depressing, such artifacts being used to banish somepony again...But it's with good reason now."

Twilight and the rest of the Mane 6 started gathering around the Terran, aiming the Elements of Harmony at him.

"Terran, both Luna and I are among the most powerful beings in this world. Nightmare Moon is far more powerful than I am, I had to send her to the moon a thousand years ago and wait for her spell to weaken to stand a chance against her, and even then I needed the help of the Mane 6. It gets worse, since she is corrupted there's no telling what she's capable of; even with my horn, which has been materialized into the rapier you're holding, you barely hold a chance against her. I don't want to pointlessly send anypony to their demise... But it's the only way, your immortality and experience in battle means you have a far higher chance than any of us, even me..." The princess stood silently for a few seconds before continuing in a depressed tone. "Take care now...Twilight, go ahead..."

The Elements of Harmony glew and fired upon the Terran, who disappeared after the blinding light struck him. There was nothing left of him but burn marks on the floor.

"Ugh...My head...I still can't believe I agreed to do this..." He said, lying on a white and dusty surface. He stood up, arranged his hat and looked at the scenery, he was now on the moon. He walked around for a while, noticing that he could breath perfectly and the gravity was the same as in Equestria. "This breaks so many laws of physics it's not even funny..."

"Well hello there, Terran. Never expected to see you here." Said a voice.

The Terran turned his head to the origin of the noise and saw what appeared to be a Terran with a Lizard tail sitting on top of a rather large lunar boulder.

"You...What are you doing here?" Questioned the Terran.

"Oh, you know...Enjoying the scenery."

"Tell the truth..."

"Fine. My link with Celestia was cut off, and considering the last things I've heard and seen through her it was pretty obvious you had both defeated her and erased her corruption; your next target is Nightmare Moon, and so you are here. At first I thought the meeting back at Kunatanah would have been our first and last, but since you need as much help as you can get I decided to show up once more and help you." He snapped his fingers, turning himself into dust and appearing next to the Terran. "I've got another gift for you, hand me your rifle for a second."

The Terran handed him his rifle without hesitation, he trusted him enough since his help was a deciding factor in the assault of Canterlot. The Terran with the lizard tail took the rifle and as he held it it turned completely black, resembling a shadow; after a few seconds he broke it in half, but before he Terran could complain those 2 fragments started changing form. Both fragments were suddenly engulfed in smoke, and after it dissipated it revealed both a shotgun and a bandoleer.

"Here, take them. In your world this gun is known as Remington 870 with a synthetic stock. That bandoleer is enchanted, so to speak; it can never run out of shells. " He threw them to the Terran, who barely managed to catch them, and picked up a rock on the ground. He turned in into a shadow and morphed into another gun, an AK-54R to be precise. "I can sense Nightmare Moon through her corruption, I know her location, and apparently she's just sitting on top of a boulder staring at the sky."

"What's your name, by the way?"

"I see...I haven't given you my name back in Kunatanah since I haven't expected to see you again..." He stood in silence for a second before continuing. "You may call me Concord."

They both started marching through the empty surface of the moon, the only things visible were boulders, dust and the stars; the pony planet could not be seen, they were sent to the other side of the moon visible from there. An hour passed until they could see in the distance the figure of a Terran sitting on top of a boulder.

"Tell me that's not her..." Said the Terran, fearing that Nightmare Moon might have been turned into a Terran too.

"Bad news...It is her...There's nothing we can do about it, let's keep going. It is strange, though...Looks more like a Terranized Luna than Nightmare Moon...She doesn't have the dark armor..."

They both walked towards the Terranized princess of the night, not knowing what to expect from such powerful being. As they got closer they saw that she had her back towards them, the Terran started to sneak towards her while Concord followed suit, but as they reached the boulder in which the princess was sitting Concord violently stopped the Terran as his eyes were wide with terror.

"What is it?" Whispered the Terran.

"This is bad...This is bad!! I can sense how she smiles...Not only that, she expected us!"

"Well, duh, she's the only target left..."

"You don't understand...Nightmare Moon creates her forces out of darkness...We're on the dark side of the moon! You know what that means?!"

The surface of the moon started shaking, and a minute later an entire army of dark ponies was seen in the distance; their numbers were endless, the army could engulf the entire moon. Both the Terran and Concord could do nothing but stare in awe as the army started surrounding them until they were left with no route of escape.

"Well look who we have here..." Said Nightmare Moon as she stood up and turned around, crossing her arms. "I see you have defeated my sister and taken her rapier with you..." She smiled. "I can unleash my entire army on both of you and destroy you, then send it all back to Equestria and conquer everything in sight...But since that'd be pretty dull, let's make a deal..."

"What is it?" Questioned the Terran.

"My army will not attack if you, Terran, duel with me and that other Terran doesn't interfere. If I lose, I will return back to Canterlot with you." Said the dark princess, oblivious of Concord's name and status. The Terran smiled, thinking she'd be the same as her sister.

"Deal."

The endless hordes of ponies formed a circle around the Terran and the princess. Nightmare Moon jumped down of the boulder and took out her rapier while the Terran prepared his shotgun and aimed towards her. She charged towards him, in that instant the Terran opened fire but she dodged every single shot he fired; after emptying his gun he had no more options than to throw it away and take out Celestia's rapier. Both rapiers clashed, the Terran could barely block it in time.

"So, you thought you could beat me with that little magic stick of yours?" She said while staring at him.

"Naturally. I didn't expect you to run so fast, though. I wonder where you learnt such skill..." He mocked her implying cowardice.

Nightmare Moon forced herself out of the deadlock by kicking the Terran and then disappearing in a cloud of smoke. The Terran ran to his shotgun, picked it up and began reloading while looking around trying to decipher where she was. She appeared in front of him, he shot at her but she disappeared before the pellets reached, hitting one of the soldiers behind turning it into smoke. She appeared once again at another point of the circle of soldiers and the Terran fired, missing again. He reloaded his shotgun once again and began aiming his shotgun everywhere, knowing that she might appear anywhere. She appeared behind him and stabbed the unsuspecting man, making him drop his shotgun and looking at the rapier appear out of his stomach, and after removing it he fell to the floor right next to the boulder; Nightmare Moon appeared in front of him, he desperately tried to grab his shotgun next to him but she drove her rapier through his arm, piercing it and digging through the surface of the moon. He tried to unsheathe his rapier with his other hand but as he held it she kicked it out of his hand and placed her foot on top of it, it was all over.

"I'm not like my sister, Terran...Do you really think I spent a thousand years on the moon doing nothing? Even with this Terran body I'm still better than you..." She took the rapier out of the Terran's arm and pointed it at his head. "It's a real shame that you are immortal...Or else I'd--" She was interrupted as Concord tackled her out of the way, losing grasp of her rapier, accidentally digging into the Terran's stomach again. Before the dark princess could regain her balance he came back to the suffering Terran, took the rapier out and helped him up.

"Come on, come on! Get up, there's no time!" Concord said before grabbing the shotgun and giving it to him.

"You...How dare you..." Said Nightmare Moon as she regained her balance. "Get them!" She yelled, the entire army began to move towards them. She then turned to smoke and disappeared.

"Well, looks like it's over for us..." Said Concord as he prepared his rifle.

"What do we do now?" Asked the Terran as they both slowly backed off to the boulder.

"Well, we've got an endless amount of soldier here that, after we're done, will invade and conquer everything we know... I'd suggest sending to Hell as many as we can."

The Terran smiled as he prepared his shotgun, he stood silently for a second before aiming his shotgun at the incoming forces "Heh...You're the brother I never had..."

They both opened fire at the endless hordes of soldiers that ran towards them, holding the line as best as they could, smoke engulfed the entire battlefield to the point they were firing without even aiming at all. A soldier sneaked right behind the Terran and tried to hit him but Concord fired at him, turning it into smoke and running right next to him, kneeling over and firing at those who arrived at their flanks.

"They're coming from above the boulder!" Exclaimed Concord.

"Cover me, I'll take the high ground!" The Terran yelled as he climbed the boulder, Concord shooting at everypony who got near him while defending himself just as well. Once the Terran got on top he started firing towards those near Concord. "Your turn, get up here!". Concord climbed the wall but got stabbed in the back by a soldier, which was shot into smoke by the Terran seconds later. He fought through the pain and kept climbing until he was already on top.

The deafening sounds of both guns echoed through the moon as smoke engulfed everything except the boulder in which they made their last stand. The Terran tried firing his shotgun at a soldier who got close to him, but the gun was hit out of the way and the Terran stabbed in the chest, he kicked the soldier making him fall and hit another 3 below him. "Too close for guns...Huh?" He remarked as he strapped his shotgun to his back and unsheathed Celestia's rapier; Concord did the same but with Luna's rapier instead. Both of them cut down everypony who got on top of the boulder, but in the horizon the hordes of dark ponies kept on coming, it looked like their efforts did nothing, but that didn't demotivate them in the slightest.

"Ha ha ha! Such a scenery...Two lone warriors fighting against impossible odds, the only thing this needs is being written by a poet." Echoed a familiar voice. After a few seconds, a cloud of dust formed above them, and after dissipating Discord revealed himself.

"Discord!!!" Screamed the Terran.

"D'aww...You remember me? Don't make me blush..."

The Terran kicked away the soldier he'd been struggling with, took out his shotgun and fired towards Discord, but the hordes of dark ponies forced him to revert to Celestia's rapier again.

"Agh! That hurts! Guess I'm not welcome in here...Anyways, these are your final hours, gentlemen. After you're defeated my plan will start and there's nothing you can do to stop me. Not even Celestia can defend that place, the rapier you hold is her magic horn, after all." He silently watched the scenery for a few seconds, then continued. "I am disappointed in you...'Concord', as you call yourself now...Weren't you supposed to rule the future chaos empire with me...?" After saying that, he disappeared the same way he arrived.

"Terran, I can sense that Nightmare Moon is still here in the moon, she never left! I also know the location of Discord, but there's something strange about it...Anyways, I can teleport you there!"

"Shouldn't you go? He's the one who created you!"

"He has caused far more damage to you than to me!" Said Concord as he placed his hand on the Terran's face, turning him into smoke and making him disappear. Concord stood in his place, fighting the never-ending hordes... "Terran...May the Great Ones be with you in this journey..." He said as he gripped Luna's rapier with all his might.

"Where am I now? What...What is this?" the Terran asked as he was teleported to a pitch black place. He took out his shotgun, reloaded it and decided to walk around for a moment.

"Of everything that has happened until now...You were the only one who managed to fight back...Now, how about we go through your...'Achievements'?"

Everything started shaking, the darkness started fragmenting like broken glass. He fell backwards due to the extreme shaking, but once he stood up he noticed he was in another place entirely. "Where did you send me?!" He asked irritated.

"Not where...But when..."

Another small earthquake was felt, but it wasn't Discord's fault, after looking around he found out that he was sent outside the Diamond Dog's caverns. He also found out that the source of the earthquake was an entire army of dark ponies running towards him.

"What...?!!" He said, but realized that they weren't running towards him, but towards the Imperial army behind him. He was sent back in time to the Battle for Rarity. He ran back to the Imperial army and joined ranks with the front-line, taking out his rapier and bracing for the imminent charge. "If that's how you want it...Then I'm no one to impede it." He said as he smiled.

The charge hit, he received the wounds that would kill a mortal man 3 times already, but kept on fighting. The battle was intense, the Terran fighting with his brothers in arms against Nightmare Moon's soldiers was a sight to behold but strangely enough no one noticed him fighting on the front-line, as if he was not there at all; the pain and damage was real enough, though. Smoke engulfed the entire battlefield as hours passed and waves after waves of enemies were destroyed. "And there goes the fourth wave! Wait...Fourth wave...Battle for Rarity..." He started remembering the details of the battle, the fifth wave of enemies consisted of the heaviest units on the enemies arsenal. "...Dammit." He said as he sheathed his rapier and took out his shotgun. From both sides cavalry started moving towards the enemy's reserve. The heaviest units started marching towards the Imperial Army, who had less than half the numbers it originally had; the Terran took the opportunity to shoot most of them down, and after a minute they were already close enough for a charge. They started running towards them, the Terran backed off a little and began reloading once again, and once the charge hit he came out of the ranks and joined the fray, shooting at point blank range. After a few minutes the pegasi who was fighting the reserve charged at their rear and utterly destroyed the remnants.

"How you like that, Discord?! HAH!"

"Oh please..." Echoed the voice as another earthquake hit, shattering everything in sight and replacing it with what appeared to be a grey city with Greek architecture.

Once the Terran received an arrow to the face he realized he was at the Battle for Rainbow Dash in Cloudsdale. "This...This isn't the stadium..."

"Of course it's not, my dear dumb friend. You're in the centre of the city, and we all know how it ended here..."

After receiving another arrow to the face, he ran and joined the fight with his brothers in arms. This time, instead of fighting in the stadium, he fought in the city, he'd soon find out why his forces were pushed back. The fighting went rather well for the Imperial forces, nothing out of the ordinary and they were pushing the enemy back for most of the city, but then the unexpected happened, a loud roar echoed in the city. "The hell was that-- Oh no..." Said the Terran with sheer terror in his face as he recognized the sound. In the distance, the only thing he could do was stare petrified as a large grey, almost transparent bear destroyed everything in sight, the bear being none other than the Ursa Minor. "This isn't happening..."

"It actually is, my friend."

"This isn't how it happened back then!"

"It did, remember how you didn't receive any details on the reasons of why your forces were pushed back from the city?"

"But this is insane! How the hell could you get the Ursa Minor and send it to Cloudsdale?!"

"Hello? Discord, God of Chaos? Once I took control of Equestria I manage to take over its mind and send it here, and with a tiny bit of magic made it possible for it to walk on clouds."

The Terran cleaned the sweat off his mouth and decided to push through the dark hordes and get to the Ursa Minor. The fighting became fierce as smoke engulfed everything and debris and pieces of buildings flew around the heavenly city. His forces managed to pull through but were being utterly destroyed by the bear once they got to it; soldiers flew left and right, the bear tearing apart any and all who got too close to it and devastating the entire army. "Pull back to the main square!" The voice of the commanding officer was heard as everypony pulled out. The bear was an unstoppable force, capable of striking fear on anypony who dared to oppose it and destroy anything without effort. Everypony was being pushed back to the main square as the dark army followed them, once the Imperial army managed to keep a formation the bear charged and tore them apart and dug through their ranks, it was a nightmare for any and all present in that battle.

"Enough already!" He said as he aimed his shotgun at the bear's head and fired, but its thick skin and the fact that the Terran only had buckshot meant it was utterly impossible to damage it. He took out Celestia's rapier and decided to close in on the bear; he sneaked up behind it while it was distracted tearing apart the imperial forces and tried to climb on its fur, only  to be blown back into a building nearby, smashing its walls open. As soon as he regenerated his broken bones he looked out of the hole he accidentally created and noticed that he could actually jump from the building on top of the Ursa. He backed off, then started gathering speed until he jumped out of the hole and landed on top of the Ursa, who tried to shake him off like a bull. He kept on clinging on its grey fur, trying to get to its head, and once he managed to accomplish he held Celestia's rapier with all his might. "Such a magnificent beast...A real tragedy for it end like this!" He said before driving the rapier into the bear's head. The ground shook as the bear stood on its hind legs in pain and let out a painful roar, its skin slowly turning into ashes. The Terran fell on the ground, exhausted due to fighting two different battles in a row. "Discord...I am victorious once again..."

"So you have defeated the Ursa Minor, hmm...?" Echoed Discord's voice as the scenery shattered once again.

Once the scenery reformed, he was standing on top the walls in a dark, rainy night. This wasn't any wall either, it was Stallinox's walls, he was teleported to the Siege of Stallinox.

"This again? Want me to beat this like I did back then?"

"Do not be so sure of yourself, Terran. This isn't a simple flashback...I am capable of doing anything in this world, and in this battle I'll show you one of the few things I can do."

"Heh...Let's see..." He said while looking at the great army that marched outside. But his eyes caught something in the horizon. "Huh? Is that...Oh God..." On the horizon, the silhouette of a bear ran towards the castle. "Another Ursa Minor...Wait...Oh no...Oh god no no no!!" His eyes opened with sheer terror as he saw that the silhouette was too big to be considered an Ursa Minor. Once it got closer, he could see the bear clearly; it wasn't an Ursa Minor, it was none other than what could be considered the mightiest beast in this world, the Ursa Major.

"Ha ha ha...I'm going to enjoy this!" Laughed Discord.

The dark army marched forward and opened fired with its trebuchets and catapults, the battering rams were already in place at the door. "Wait...I'm at the wall...that means..." He tried to remember for a second before realizing that the walls were utterly destroyed by Concord's artifacts back when he wasn't on his side. He quickly jumped off the wall as it exploded, the resulting shockwave sent him through the roof of a nearby building. He got up, healing his broken bones and skin that was tore open and removed the piece of wood that was struck his stomach in the crash, then he got out of the building only to see the fight had already started as the enemy breached the wall. He ignored the fight and got on top of the wall, waiting for the Ursa Major to come closer and engage it personally; he knew he had no chance, but he'd rather receive a fate worse than death than seeing Stallinox fall, even if this was just a simple creation of Discord. As soon as he got on top of the wall, he saw the horrifying sight of the giant bear running on its hind legs charging towards his section of the wall, the Terran jumped off the wall towards the bear and manage to cling to its fur as it destroyed the wall and drove inside Stallinox. He climbed as he saw the massacre below him, which only fueled him with fury. He kept on climbing until he reached the bears head, only then it noticed his presence and tried to shake him off, but he stabbed its eye with Celestia rapier before being able to get him off. The bear, with a quick movement, threw the Terran in the air and grabbed him with its paw, he stabbed its paw with the rapier, but that only made it angrier as it threw the Terran with incredible force towards the nearby forest. The Trees were destroyed as he hit, his bones liquefying due to the damage, and once he landed on the ground he could do nothing but stare at Stallinox in the distance, watching it burn. The Ursa Major, the mightiest beast in this world, was unstoppable.

"Well, that didn't last as long as I expected, even though I didn't even put all my effort into this."

The Terran, upon hearing Discord's laugh and seeing Stallinox, the capital of the Empire he'd built from a simple bunch of towns burn to the ground, had reached what appeared to be another level of corruption. He turned completely black, his clothes, his eyes, even his gun, they looked just like a shadow.

"We're not done yet." Said Discord as he teleported both himself and the Terran on top of the castle ruins, about a day after Stallinox was destroyed by the Ursa Major. "I'm sincerely considering using this tactic once I attack the real Stallinox...Well, I'm considering using this tactic for everything I do from now on, anyways." The Terran, crippled and suffering, tried to crawl towards Discord; the fury contained in his heart utterly ignored the fact that his bones where liquefied. "You sure are a stubborn one. Here, let me...End that suffering of yours..." Discord walked towards the Terran and placed his draconequus hand on the Terran's forehead, making it light up and make the Terran remember every single thing he had done in his life before being struck with the blinding light that started everything. His screams of agony echoed in the night.

"He's a monster!"

"--should be killed."

"--police are trying to track him down--"

"--I don't want to to die!!"

"--the burning of several buildings--"

"--a complete massacre--"

"--a genocidal psychopath--"

"--several victims with mafia backgrounds--"

"--ordered to shoot on sight--"

"--use military force if this keeps up--"

After this, Discord backed up with a smile and looked at the Terran. What he didn't expect, however, was his eyes turning completely red as his body remained pitch black; he regenerated all his wounds at an incredible rate as fury engulfed his mind; even the rapier turned into a shadow. The uncorrupted Terran was someone who just cared for most people and wanted to exterminate those who endangered his brothers and sisters.This level of corruption turned him into a genocidal machine who just wished to end all life around him, and the only sign of life in this plane of existence was Discord himself.

"Well...I'd have expected you to sink into a depressed state..."

"I shall destroy you." Said the Terran in an inhuman voice, as if he had been replaced by a demon, or the even the Devil himself.

"Oh please..."

The Terran charged forward, but Discord dodged him and knocked him down using his tail, making him accidentally throw his rapier out of reach.

"I am the God of chaos, of misery and destruction. You've sealed your fate the day you decided to fight against me..."

"My mother is scarier than you."

"What did you just say...?"

"Of all the people I've met, of all the people I've killed, none were as pathetic as you. Every fight in the other world was to the death, but fighting with you seems more of an argument instead. I come from a world torn by war and destruction, death is common currency there; I lived like a dog every single day of my life, praying that my enemies don't slit my throat while I sleep on the streets...But you? You are the 'God of Chaos' of a world that doesn't know how to stand up and fight. I taught my brothers and sisters in this world how to fight, how to stand up for their beliefs, and guess what? You're still not the Emperor of this world. My name is Charon, and Celestia be my witness...I am the one who is going to destroy you!" Said the Terran before charging forwards.

Discord dodged the charge again but received an elbow to the face as the Terran reacted. He knocked Charon down with his tail again and tried to stab him with his claw while he was down, but missed and dug into the rubble as the Terran dodged, stood up and hit him with his knee; Charon grabbed the draconequus' face, drove it to the floor and stomped it with all his might, he then grabbed his arm and threw him towards a pile of debris nearby, which fell over him. A rock flew out of the pile of debris and hit the Terran's face with such force that it knocked him down; Discord broke out of the pile, exhausted, and stood in front of Charon trying to regain his breath while the Terran stood up.

"How come...How come the battles I sent you to haven't tired you at all?!" Discord yelled. Both combatants charged towards each other, Charon grabbed Discord's face and drove it to the ground using the charge's momentum while coping with the pain of the claw that stabbed him in the chest; he then punched Discord's face mercilessly while he was down. Discord laid unconscious on the ground, the Terran stood up and backed off, the exhaustion started taking its toll, he fell unconscious to the ground as he regained his colours, knowing that the one who endangered the entire world he fought for had been defeated.

"Charon...Hey buddy, wake up..." Concord's voice echoed in his head, upon opening his eyes he saw him crouched next to him. "You've defeated Discord. Hell, after that beating he won't wake up in years. We still need to get him to the mane 6 to petrify him, though."

"Concord...? Did you... Defeat the entire dark army on the moon?"

"Hahah, no way I'm able to fight so many numbers, I can't even count that high. The entire army suddenly turned into smoke and Nightmare Moon fell unconscious. At the same time...I felt the agony of an entire world screaming inside my head...Never expected it to be you..."

"Was I possessed?"

"No, my friend...You just released it all...All the sorrow, the fury, the anger..." Concord explained as he stood up. After helping Charon up he walked over to Discord's unconscious body and carried it over his shoulders.

"So, it's all over..." Said Charon as he stared at the ruins of Stallinox. Silence engulfed the scenery. "Let's go finish the job."

"Aye aye cap'." Concord said as he snapped his fingers, turning both of them into smoke.

They appeared in front of Nightmare Moon's unconscious, grey body, which Charon gently picked up with his arms; he then signaled Concord with a head movement to return to Canterlot.

Back in Canterlot, the Princess and the Mane 6 waited impatiently for the return of the Terran.

"Isn't he taking too long?" Asked Spike.

"We need to have hope...He's our only chance..." Said Celestia, worried about what Spike said.

Two clouds of smoke appeared in the middle of the room, and once dissipated they revealed Concord, who was carrying Discord's body, and Charon, who was carrying the corrupted Luna. Everypony was startled by the sight of another Terran, even more so since this one had a lizard tail.

"Calm down everypony, he's a friend." Explained Charon before anypony could speak.

"Another Terran?!" Asked Twilight

"His name is Concord, Discord's son. And before you all get scared, he's on our side, without his help I wouldn't have been able to defeat Discord himself."

"Discord?!" Everypony in the room yelled, they were expecting him to come back with the corrupted dark princess, not with the unconscious God of Chaos.

"Long story short..." Explained Concord. "...We were fighting Luna, Discord appeared and once he disappeared I teleported the Terran to where he was...I'll explain the details later...For now, let's petrify Discord before he wakes up."

Concord threw Discord's body to the ground, the Mane 6 prepared the Elements of Harmony and fired upon him, who was turned into stone.

"Strange...Shouldn't Luna turn back to normal?" asked Charon.

"Corruption doesn't work that way, we need to Uncorrupt everypony one by one." Mentioned Celestia.

The Elements of Harmony were prepared once again and fired upon Luna, who was being carried by the Terran. She regained her colours and slowly woke up, still in her Terran form; after fully regaining consciousness tears ran through her eyes as she clung on Charon.

"D'aww...Looks like she likes you." Giggled Celestia.

"Why is she crying, though?" Asked Charon.

"Corruption doesn't give amnesia, she remembers every single thing she did. A thousand years ago she turned into Nightmare Moon and...Did things she deeply regrets. Discord forced her to become Nightmare Moon once again and...I'd rather not talk about the subject anymore."

"I see..."

"One thing, though...You always said you were a 'Terran', yet you never gave us a name."

"Name..." Charon remembered, he named himself 'Charon' at the start of his suicidal campaign back in Terra to symbolize that he was already dead, the start of a new way of life, so he decided to keep it. "My name's Charon."

"Well, Charon, you were an incredible help in saving this world, you rescued and uncorrupted the Mane 6, you fought the Great Pony War against impossible odds, you decided on your own to fight a goddess and save me from the corruption, you went to the moon to fight against another goddess, and even defeated the God of Chaos...Terrans are scary, to be honest...How can we ever repay you?"

Charon looked at the dark princess crying on his chest as he carried her, smiled and looked back at Celestia.

"Let me stay in this world...Treat me as one of your own..."
