Dark Phoenix POV: He got an early start after leaving Stravia a message not to follow him and that he would be back in about a week's time. He left the message so the dragoness wouldn't freak out and come flying into ponyland and get shot. He had lost people, wolves, and other mythical beings before this so it would pain him for her to die as well. He sighed taking one last look over his shoulder before walking off into the forest towards the nearby town knowing full well that today was going to be a very chaotic and hellish day. As he walked through the forest he began to run through his inventory in which he had packed a CP-143 Griffin combat sidearm, a 13" phasna infused combat knife, and his favorite weapon in the U.S.E arsenal, the SR-98AMAP or the SR-98 for those who would get confused. He also decided to keep his AR-45 on him so he could turn it over to the ponies which in turn would make them think he was disarmed and not a threat only problem is you can never truly disarm a U.S.E soldier they themselves are living weapons but not devoid of emotions. The four years each soldier went through made them capable fighters. He went past the old castle and after an hour or so he ended up on the outskirts of the town to find it fortified with barricades and walls. He silently laughed as the walls looked weak and unstable all he would have to do was bull rush the damn things and they'ed come down. He heard a shout and felt something slam into his chest armor with a pained groan afterwards. He looked down to see a blue pegasus on the ground cradling her head and forehooves which only made him raise his eyebrow thinking one thought. "These ponies are either dumb or fool hardy."He sighed and picked up the mare before kicking open a hole in one of the walls when his boot made contact with the wooden wall. He stepped through the wall and saw ponies running all over the place screaming making him want to facepalm. The drama in this place was to much not to mention the fact that anyone with any common sense would realize that panic in a bad situation only made it worse. He saw a pair of ponies smack into eachother and carts of food tipping over making the whole seen rather funny aside from the guards approaching him with determined but scared glances at eachother. Fear it was something he could use though using fear against his enemies didn't affect him mentally he swore to never use it on a civilian or child and he had seen what that kind of usage could do to a civilian. It was soldiers he would use it on since they were mentally tougher and if you could scare a soldier then it was bad for moral especially if it was the leader who was terrified. "You there! You are under arrest for assualt, attempted murder, battery, destruction of property, and causing public unrest in the land of Equestria. You are under arrest and will be punished in a court of law." Dark Phoenix shrugged and smirked. "I, don't, give, a, fuck." He said and placed the blue winged rainbow down. He smirked as he finally came up with a good name for it to be labled as...Skittles. He snickered, held his hands up removed his AR-45, and tossed it on the ground. The ponies stood in shock at what just happened in front of them. "I surrender to your pitiful army's meager strength." He said in slightly depressed but bitter tone. He had to play the part and this was the only way. He watched on of the guards pick up his weapon before it laughed. "What is this? It looks like a club. How do you expect to take on our army with just a club? Hey what's this thing do?" Dark Phoenix saw him getting ready to pull the trigger and smirked underneath his helmet. A U.S.E weapon was genetically linked to it's user in this case Dark Phoenix. The pony had no idea what would happen nor did he know about the DNA encoder because no sooner had the pony pulled a trigger did a shock run though him frying him alive with 15,000 volts of energy. The pony screamed and fell to the ground his head rolling of causing Dark Phoenix to visibly cringe at the sight. If he ever cringed then others were going to throw up which is what happened next as several ponies began to throw up or began to cry. "I should have warned you about the defense feature on there. You can't use it unless I give you permission willingly. It's linked to my DNA so it only works for me and any attempt to tamper with it will dissolve it and place it back in my hands or Explode." The ponies looked at him in shock before he cuffed, told to take off his helmet, and pushed forward. He removed his helmet allowing his hair to flow out like it normally did with his crimson eyes and scar to showing to the whole world. The crowd though slightly disturbed by the death of a guard cheered and bood him while they threw things like apples at him. One pony actually had enough balls to go for a nut shot which failed misserably as his hoof broke before getting a slight shock causing him double the pony double the pain. After a while they came to a train where he was forced into a small prison like box car before the train began to move. He sat back and enjoyed the ride to where ever they were taking him.

Twilight Sparkle POV: She had seen a guard shocked to death by one of the creature's weapons before it was put in cuffs. It was told to remove it's helmet and what she saw shocked her. Fluttershy had been right, the face, the eyes, the mane, and the emotions were all there. She would have to study him or get permission to study him. She sent a letter to Princess Celestia detailing what had happened.

Princess Celesia and Luna POV: They had been talking about what to do with the creature since it had been openly hostile towards them. It was in great pain from what they could tell and were getting to putting it down before a letter appeared in front of them. Celestia read what was inside before her jaw dropped and she handed it to Luna who's reaction was one of smugness. "Tia it appears the creature has lost the will to fight. We could put it down like we had had suggested." Celestia shook her head. "The knowledge lost though would be to great and I don't think it actually surrendered . It's to powerful and deadly, it killed Discord, sveral guards, knocked you out with stealth greater than yours, and then just surrendered. No something is off here Luna and I don't like it." She watched her sister shake her head with pride evident on her face.

Dark Phoenix POV: The guards had messed with the AR-45 for a while leaving another dead much to the anger of the guards who began swearing, cussing, and insulting him. He could only smirk as he knew they were getting to prideful. They arrived at the station with a sudden stop causing a few of the guards to topple over much to his amusement. Once they were out of the train he noticed that there was close to two battalions of guards some gold others in purple which made them look more deadly than they're gold counterparts not that the whole bat look didn't do anything to insure that. He saw the two royal ponies approaching him and he let a feral smile cross his face. No he wasn't an animal well scratch that since all of humanity was an animal, classified as a mammale, and not a plant. He was more animal that your average human due to the blood he had recieved froma Star Wolf to save his life at one point. He was already deadly by that time, able to close his wounds, and bring a fucking bomb down on your head but the Star Wolf blood made him more calculating, deadly, silent, and tactiful. He saw the two alicorns stop in front of him with glares that made him inwardly chuckle. One of them spoke if he remembered correctly her name was Celestia. "Do you understand me?" Dark Phoenix nodded his head silently which prompted her to speak more. "You have hurt my little ponies, killed without reason, and have destroyed lives. Do you have any idea what you've done?" He rolled his eyes. "Bitch it's called survival but you might as well have declared war. Did you ever take into account that I may have been injured, lost, or scared. As for destroying lives YOU are the one who sent soldiers after me causing me to react in a defensive manner so that makes any lives lost your fault. You could have remained diplomatic but you decided aggression which made me respond in kind. That brings me to my next point which is that I've saved three children, saved a pegasus's friend, and didn't kill Moon over there when I could have easily torn out her heart, dismembered the body, and left it stung up all over the place. You are not to blame me for this." He growled in anger. He watched the female step back slightly with a smile on his face. After a few minutes he was escorted to the castle while ponies began to throw stuff or do the usual thing that any crowd of assholes would do. It took a while with a few guards gloating about how they had captured him to the news ponies in the area. He even got his picture taken which made him flinch just slightly due to some rather unpleasent memories involving the fame he had gained for his actions. At one point there was a cult that sprung up in his name which he put down. He was 2052 years old and it wasn't impossible for some nut job to start thinking he was a god or something. Thanfully U.S.E residents were either Jewish, Christian, or Muslim even though it didn't help the news reporters and such. He wasn't big on being in the spotlight and tried to give his soldiers more of it since most people talk about a leader's victory and not about the troops underneath him who won the victory, who earned it, who rightfully deserved it. His thoughts were cut off when they reached a cell where he was forced into it. The guards left after closing the door leaving two of their number near by. After a few hours of sitting in the cell and despite they're best efforts of keeping it dark inside he got up to fiddle with the lock only to find much to his annoyance that there wasn't one. It wasn't annoyance at the fact he could have left hours ago but at the fact these ponies were dumb enough to leave a door unlocked. He thought they would have at least a barrier blocking him in but there wasn't one. The lack of training, professionalism, and security was anough to make him claw his eyes out at the stupidity of it all. He soon went to find a dark corner so when the princesses came in he could catch them by surprise.


Author's Note

Well things are going to happen and shit is getting close to hitting the fan. He's playing them and they don't know it. For the record the show caused the lack of military might to be shown. *Facepalm*
