Jamie grabbed his swords from their sheaths and in one swift motion, cut through a soldiers armour. He ducked under a mace and sliced upwards, blades going through the chin.

“Cadance, go help Luna!” He shouted to Cadance, who had gotten separated from him. She hesitated, but ran off anyway, searching for Luna in the thick of the battle. Jamie retreated slightly until his back met Celestia's.

“Hi there, need some help?” Jamie said to Celestia as she cut down another five humans.

“Would be appreciated. Think you can take on the ones behind me?” Jamie nodded. Now, how to take down the heavily armour unit infront of him...boiling them in their suits of course!

“Katon: Goka Mekkyaku!” A great wall of fire was created when Jamie exhaled the flames. The soldiers laughed at first, their magic resistant armour stopping the initial damage. What it couldn't stop was the heat. A lot of the weaker soldiers collapsed from the high temperature. When Jamie stopped, atleast three quarters of the heavy soldiers had been taken out.

“Much more effective than I thought.” He drew his swords once again, blocking the claymore thrust at him and stabbing the soldier in the eye. He heard a whooshing sound behind him and ducked right as Celestia's sword cut through the air where his neck was. “Careful!” He punched a soldier in the privates and sliced up across his chest.

“Sorry, it's hard to watch where you are when I'm in the midst of a battle you know.” Celestia was taking them down cleanly, needing only one strike to take them down. “Oh shit!” Four enemies had jumped into the air. She wouldn't be able to block them with magic in time.

“Iwa no Yoroi!” The sun mometarily reflected off of Jamie. A rock like transparent armour was covering his skin. He pushed Celestia down and was on all fours above her protecting her from attack. The four soldiers who had jumped launched fire attacks at them. The armour managed to withstand the flames, although Jamie was burned on his back where his armour had melted.

“Thanks,” said Celesita as she blocked a swipe from an axe. Jamie merely grunted. He had used a lot of chakra succesively. Even if he had a large chakra load, the continuous use of it made him feel ill. “You okay?” Celestia noticed he had paled slightly. He ignored her, cutting through a few more soldiers.

“Gah!” He failed to block a blade from his right side. The blade cut through his thigh, severing a few tendons, rendering him unable to stand.

“Grab on to my hoof!” The second he grabbed on, she teleported, casting a flame spell which burned the surrounding enemies. The medics at the back of the fighting were slightly startled when a ring of fire suddenly burst into existence. “Take him, make sure he gets proper care.” She placed him on a table and teleported back to the fight.

“So...anyone know human anatomy?” Asked a nurse as she tried to stop the wound from bleeding. A grizzled doctor grabbed some tools and started to work.

“Human anatomy is mostly similar to pony anatomy, with a couple of differences here and there.” He worked as if it was something he does every minute of everyday. It was done in less than five minutes. “Keep an eye on him. If he wakes, don't let him get up, that leg shouldn't have weight on it for a while.” And with that, he walked away, going to tend to other patients.

“Well that was interesting.” The other doctors walked away, slightly confused at what had just happened. The nurses sat near him, chatting while making sure he didn't move.

Jamie groaned and opened his eyes, a burning sensation coming from his right thight. He was also hurting all over from using up the last of his chakra placing his seal on Celestia's hoof.

“Where am I?” A nurse jumped up to him and put a hand on his head, checking the temperature. He was boiling.

“You're at the temporary medical station at the back of Celestia's battalion, you got cut in the thigh. Don't stand up, you'll damage it” Jamie just grunted, sitting up and looking towards the battlefield. “Don't even think about it.” Jamie looked the medical mare in the eyes. She was a tough one alright. He'd have a hard time convincing her to let him leave. Well, he would have, if one of the seals on his hands wasn't burning. His right hand had an intricate seal, just like his left. He'd marked Celestia with the one on his right hand.

“Sorry about this.” The nurse was confused until he disappeared in a black flash of light. He appeared underneath a human about to spear Celestia and punched him in the gut, sending him into the crowd. Cadance grabbed Jamie and dragged him out of the way of the many swords.

“You're an idiot, you know that?” Cadance yelped as she felt a sword nip her back. Her eyes widened when she saw the blade cut through Celestia's hoof. Jamie screamed, his burning hand filling the air with smoke. She grabbed it and read the writing. 'Seal Release' What did that mean?

Garuda! Jamie launched himself at a group of humans, fire completely surrounding him in the shape of a bird. The humans were blasted backwards in all directions. Others tried to stab and slice at him, their swords melting before they could get close.

“Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu!” Six humans spit water dragons at him. They stopped inches from him, getting slightly closer all the while. Jamie's flames grew, pushing back the water dragons. The fire suddenly disappeared.

“Taika Iguru!” He pushed the flames away with a powerful burst of chakra, creating a burnt circle that gave them some breathing room for the moment.

As everyone crowded around Celestia, Jamie slowly walked over, energy now completely gone. He looked up towards the human side of the field and swore.

“Ahhh shit.” On the other side of the field was a tall, muscualr man with a sword big enough to kill five goats at once.

“What do we do about him?” Luna was looking him over. She knew just by looking at him that he was gonna be a though one.

“We fight.” Jamie was out of chakra but that didn't mean he couldn't fight. Time to really dive into the fireworks.
