Alone is what he is and alone is what he will always be. Forced to watch his friends and those he loves die from old age to battle wounds. But maybe this time will be different?

What happens when the leader of the United States Empire appears in Equestria?will the ponies be able to help this Veteran of war with his PTSD? Many obsticles lay in his path but he will have to over come them as a new danger threatens Equestria. Why are there others after him and what do they want? This is not a crossover of Section8. The U.S.E in this is totally different and has been created after literally four years of planning.

I do not own My Little Pony. It belongs to Hasbro, DHX, and Lauren Faust. This is not a Section8 crossover as the weapons and tech are totaly different from that of the game and not to mention I doubt the game named any of it's ships World Burners or Solar Flares for example. Do not start screaming that this is a Section8 crossover because it is not.

First Contact failures Chapter 1

Phasna rounds and screams of mortars and wounded fill the air. The air smelt of burning fuel and blood. scattered and limp bodies of both United States Imperial troops and Drey littered the area. Some in peices and others looking like they were just taking a nap. Thankfully it was mostly Drey bodies and their dead not so much the U.S.E.

"Dragon platoon move up and secure the right flank I don't need our asses out in the open!" Yelled Sky Commander Dark Phoenix through his comm link. He fired at a nearby Drey with his AR-45 killing it instantly.

"I copy sir Dragon platoon is moving to secure position X-ray11-Bravo12." Said the platoon leader of Dragon.

"INCOMING!" Screamed a soldier.

Soon a mortar shell impacted on the ground flinging several U.S.E troops into the wall. Most of them got up but those who didn't had their Holo-Dogs removed. "This is Major Hancog Rainstone Callsign Bloody Night and leader of Pegasus battalion I need reinforcements otherwise we'll be over run!"

Dark Phoenix brought his hand to the side of his helmet All the while switching to his SR-98 and blowing the head of two more Drey. "I am inbound with some of the Rough Rhinos hold on until we get there." With that several soldiers clad in grey and light brown armor boarded several Black Sun ground transports and took off towards Bloody Night.

"Sir we are five minutes out and we are taking heavy fire I suggest you get comfortable it's going to get worse." Said the driver

Dark Phoenix nodded towards the driver. "thanks for the heads up. I want you to drop us close as you can get to Major Bloody Night and then get out of here. I also want one of you on the 50MM A.A.M double time it!"

The driver shook his head. "Sorry sir I am getting you all the way in I don't get payed for nothing." Dark Phoenix face palmed well at least the driver was comitted. "Oh shit we have fighters inbound I am taking a side route hold on." With that the transport swerved violently to the side managing to just squeez by the torent of fire coming from a hostlie aircraft. A Second later a humming was heard which indicated the gunner had opened fire onto the aircraft. Several seconds later he heard a "HELL YEAH" from one of his soldiers. After a few minutes they arrived at Pegasus's location finding that they did indeed need reinforcements.

Dark Phoenix began to speak through his comm. "All right you know the drill help our men and don't back down." He got several Hell yeahs and HOORAH's from those around him. They were getting close to the trench when a large artillery shell impacted on the ground flinging Dark Phoenix several yards. His ears were ringing and soon there was nothing but blackness.

`"Sky Commander... Sky Commander can you hear me?" Said a voice. Dark Phoenix opened his eyes to see a Sargent yelling at him. All the sargent got in return was a finger.

He got up and removed his rifle from his back. He slid into a trench and began to fire at anything that moved. Weapons fire whizzed over the trench and impacted on the walls of dirt behind them. Dark Phoenix saw more and more Drey coming and soon they would be overrun by shear numbers. "U.S.I.S Eclipse this is Sky Commander Dark Phoenix we need Angels down here the situation is going to shit!"

"This is the Eclipse we have recieved your message and Angels are inbound E.T.A ten minutes."

Dark Phoenix returned his attention to the fight and began to fire his AR-45 once again. He heard someone scream and turned to see a Drey soldier charging at him with a knife. He ducked under the alien's arm and twisted it he then proceeded to send a punch into it torso armor denting it and killing the Drey soldier instantly. He turned as he heard a loud explosion and almost cried out in joy as he saw an eight story giant with metalic wings open fire on the Drey. Several more angels came up from behind and began to do the same unleashing hell from they're 50MM AAMS and S.A.Ms. One Angel curled it's hand into a fist and began to spew amunition on the Drey that were in a already busted up sky scraper. Dark Phoenix rallied his troops and charged at the Drey trenches and they began to fall one after another. Dark Phoenix saw them get more violent as they pushed forward and drove the Drey forces back. One Drey soldier got lucky and managed to hit Dark Phoenix with a rocket which in turn sent him flying into a bunch of bodies. his vision blurred and he passed from the known world.

Dark Phoenix opened his eyes and looked around to see nothing but darkness and emptiness.

"Hello Dark Phoenix." said a voice.

Dark Phoenix got into a crouch and prepared to fight. If he was to die then he was not going to do so without breaking some bones first. "Who are you?" He said.

The voice laughed. "Relax I am your heavenly father do not be afraid. I have brought you here because there is an important matter in which you must help. A race of beings is on the brink of war and they are not ready or experienced in it. I am sending you there because humans know what war is and how to prepare for it you also have seen more of it than any race in the universe. You must not let these beings fall for they are able to bring peace to even the most troubled mind. Please help them my warrior and they will live to see another day."

Dark Phoenix bowed his head and asked. "Where are you sending me.'

The voice responded after a second of silence. "I am sending you to a place called equestria I will be in touch."

With that the darkness left and Dark Phoenix opened his eyes to find himself above a planet and all he said was. SON OF A BIIIIIIITTTCCCHHH!!!!!

Twilight Sparkle POV: It was a nice day out and she couldn't be more happy especially with the picnic she and her friends had planned. "Spike are you ready?" Yelled Twilight.

"Give me a second Twilight you don't need to rush me." Said a green and purple dragon as it came down the stairs.

A knock was heard on the libary door and Twilight opened it to reveal her friends with giddy faces. "Twilight are you ready ooooohhh I can't wait to get this picnic started it's going to be so fun". Said an overly energetic Pinkie Pie.

"Sure girls hang on for a second while I get my..," Twilights Sentence was cut off by a loud BOOM and a shaking of the ground.

"What the Hay was that"? Said Rainbow Dash.

All the ponies looked at the smoke cloud rising from near the center of town before looking at each other and taking off in it's direction. "Spike send a letter to Princess Celestia that we may need help". With that she followed her friends to the site of the explosion. Once they got there they were all shocked to see three houses with holse in the walls and two others completely leveled. Twilight approached carefully and what they found shocked them to their very core. A Golem was at the end of crater and lieing face up it's armor was a intricate black and white design that screamed it was indeed a warrior. They all jumped back as the Golem moved and stood up visibly off balance for a second before standing straight up. The ponies in town screamed loudly and ran around screaming about an invasion or the end of the world.

Dark Phoenix POV: He wasn't dead and the headache he had attested to that. His Personal mission HUD appeared on his display before he heard a voice or more of the voice of his AI. "Sky Commander stay still for a second while I bring everything back online". Soon after his Shields and health appeared on his right and top of his helmet his weapons ammunition and types of weapons he was carrying appeared as well and finally came his Hawk Eye Radar. "All seems in order. Sky Commander also you have a Carbon Ammo Converter on you at this time please make sure to equip this as soon as possible". The AI said with a nonemotional voice. Dark Phoenix silently sighed and looked at his display. He saw several ponies and all of them had different colors some red others blue and so on. Dark Phoenix stood up slowly and became off balance for a few seconds before steadying himself. He noticed the buildings he had plowed through and would have slapped himself had he not seen all the ponies jump back and no sooner had looked at them did all Hell break loose. Several ponies were screaming and others were running into eachother causing Dark Phoenix to chuckle quietly. He still had to get out od the town before what ever these creatures had for an armed force showed up. He activated his jump jet and flew out of the crater.

He was about to leave before he heard the sound of wings and a gruff voice behind him telling him to turn around and put his hooves in the air. Dark Phoenix turned around and saw five ponies but refused to put his hands up and instead tried to talk to pony. "I do not wish to fight either you leave me alone or you attack and I kill you. Your choice and your blame". Dark Phoenix watched as the pony charged at him along with another four that had come with him. Dark Phoenix did not want to start another war and quickly knocked the ponies out with well placed punches and kicks. "I told you I did not want o fight but instead you attack me and pay the price". With that he sprinted away moving faster than any one would have believed possible with what looked like a hundred pounds of armor.

What none of the ponies knew was that a few beings were watching this Golem closely each having their own agendas and ideas about what they could do if they had this being on their side.

Remembering the past Chapter 3

Dark Phoenix had finally fallen asleep and had the dream he always had. The death of the one he loved deeply. Her name was Salina Regros her callsign Night Guardian. It was supposed to be a simple attack on a Drey fortress and it had evolved into something more and something even worse. Dark Phoenix looked at Night Guardian and smiled underneath his helmet. She had been moved to Mythic and was currently part of the second battalion, third company, fourth platoon, second squad also known as the Phoenixes. He led his squad of troops into the interior and what they saw shocked the shit out of them. Dead Drey where everywhere and some were split in half while others had looks of horror and anguish on their faces.

"Where are the Drey/" He heard PVT. Kraken say with a hint of worry in his voice

Dark Phoenix turned around and looked at Kraken. "I don't know private but it seems off."

"Maybe there was a coup or something." Said Night Guardian.

Dark Phoenix shook his head. "It couldn't be. I haven't seen any Drey weapons that could tear something in half like this especialy an indoors weapon." They were all baffled but raised their weapons at the sound of a banging on a door. They surrounded the door with two U.S.E soldier in front and two to the side allowing the other four to move in under the cover of fire. They opened the door and a Drey fell out with a thud.

It looked at the U.S.E soldiers and began to babble in it's alien tongue. "STRA STRA STRA TENO RE ARCOMO TI RENOVE UR INTOR MORTALA!" Translation.( RUN RUN RUN THEY ARE COMING TO TURN US INTO MONSTERS) The soldiers dragged the Drey soldier away and turned on their Night Vission and Thermal sights and entered the hall way.

"SCREEEEEECH." A few seconds later a grotesque creature appeared out of the shadows. It looked like the Drey but completely screwed up like someone had taken it to a test lab crossed with a squid, a Drey, and a giraff with sharp teeth. It had large legs coming out of it's spine which numbered eight total, razor sharp teeth, tentacles hanging out of it's mouth, and it had four arms which had large knife looking things on them. With out a second thought they opened fire killing the creature instantly. They were about to turn around before they heard several more screeches sound from down the dark hallway.

Dark Phoenix turnd around and yelled at the tops of his lungs. "RUN LIKE THE DEVIL IS AFTER YOU AND DON'T LOOK BACK!" With that his soldiers ran off in the opposite direction and towards the base entrance telling anyone they found to run for the courtyard and prepare for evacuation. Dark Phoenix stood where he was in the hall way. He had to buy his troops some time to get out and with that he began to place explosive charges along the hallway with a remote detonation command. He then pulled out some Head Banger grenades pulled the spoon and wrapped a string around the lever being very careful as he set each trap afterwards he placed two sentry turrets and waited for the creatures that were coming. Boom the first trap went off then the second then a tird and soon they stopped. Dark Phoenix told Nightmare to detonate the explosive charges and with that several booms and screams of agony from the creatures filled the air. He was about to turn around before a large creature of the same type jumped onto his back. He began to shake in every direction and threw his back into the nearest wall causing the unknown to lose it's grip. He pulled out his CP-143 and shot it in the head leaving brain matter to splatter onto his armor and the surrounding area.

"Dark Phoenix where are you?" He froze as he recognized that voice it belonged to Night Guardian. Night Guardian had returned to the building and was looking for him. He sprinted towards her voice and turned the corner and ran into her.

"Night Guardian we have to go now!" He said.

"I was worried about you but anyway let's get back to the dropship." She said with worry in her voice.

He nodded they began to sprint towards the exit only for them to be stopped by a larger version of the creatures. It let out a roar and charged at them while several of it's smaller counter parts followed. "I guess this is it?" Night Guardian said.

Dark Phoenix shook his head. "Well if they want a fight I say we give them one." She nodded her head.

"Well there was a party and you didn't invite us". They heard several explosions and saw the large creature topple over which revealed the rest of Phoenix squad. "Honestly sir you hurt my feelings which is why I am here to crash the party." With that they began to move out the door firing their BS-67s and AR-45s. They began to close the door and had almost succeeded until one of them got lucky and jumped onto Night Guardians back.

She screamed as it tore off her back armor and stabbed her several times. "OH GOD GET IT OFF GET IT SLAARR." With that she changed into one of the ugly beings. Dark Phoenixes eyes widened in horror as the one he loved was changed into a being which would have made nature crap herself. The door was closed and the rest of Phoenix squad turned to see the monsters in front of them. Once they had seen what was Night Guardian they became enraged Dark Phoenix screamed in rage and sadness. He charged at the nearest creature and brought out his sword and ran it through it's gut. He then proceeded to take it's head of and land with his sword out to the side. He stood up and looked at the form of what was Night Guardian on the ground with several United States Imperial soldiers holding her down. He looked at the form and a single tear left his eye as he saw the tormented and twisted face of the one he loved. He cursed himself this is why he never fell in love with anyone or let them know. They always died. It was as if the universe was saying you will be forever alone, to suffer alone, and to live life alone. He brought the sword down and killed her officialy putting her out of her misery. Dark Phoenix jolted awake and was breathing rapidly . He let out a scream of anger to the sky.

Princess Luna POV: She had just seen the most horrid dream and it seemed to belong to the Golem. No it couldn't be a Golem there were emotions there it had to be sentient. She was crying now it had lost so much and they never knew or tried to understand it.

Her sister walked in with a worried look on her face. "Luna the guards told me there was something wrong."

Luna looked at her sister with wet eyes. "Tia that Golem isn't a Golem it's alive, it's sentient, and it's in pain a pain that we can never understand." Her sister wrapped a wing around her.

"Tell what happend LuLu." Luna looked at her sister.

"I was walking among the dream scape like I normally do when I came across a dream that I could not explain so I entered it. What I found was horrors that would give even Discord bad dreams. The Golem has a name it, it has emotions, and it has scars that run deep into it's very being. It I mean he has lost so much. He has no love anymore he is only full of anger, sadness, rage, and pain. I watched as monsters took away the last person he ever loved. I saw the faces of those around him and not just his fellow kind but those of the monsters. There was so much agony and sadness to their looks. I will never forget what I saw Tia I don't know if you can understand what I mean but this thing is alive and it is alone now." She looked at her sister.

"Show me Luna; show me this creatures dream."

Luna shook her head. "You don't want to see it Tia it's just awful."

Celestia looked at her sister. "Please sister don't bear this alone."

Luna finally gave in and showed her sister. After a few minutes Celestia gasped as they left the memory.

Princess Celestia POV: She had seen the dream and all she could do was feel terrified. This being was indeed scarred for life and Luna was right this was a dream that neither of them could ever really understand. She had seen horrors that were indeed beyond what she had thought they were. Soon she was crying along with her sister at the pain that no creature should endure.

Dark Phoenix POV: He pulled out an MRE and opened it eating the contents inside. After doing so he decided to take a walk around the castle. He found several peices of armor laying on the ground and decided he needed something to do. He began to set the armor out and arrange it in the fashion that seemed right. "Nightmare can you give me a 3D projection of what this pony looked like?" A few seconds later a large pony with a black coat appeared in the air with it's armor in place. What stood out the most was the moon like mark on it's flank. It was the exact same mark that he had seen on the dark blue alicorn. He stopped what he was doing as he heard a scream. It sounded like a childs scream or about three of them at the same time. He ran through a wall and sprinted towards the edge of the ravine. He jumped off the edge and landed on the other side and began his treck towards the screams. As he neared a clearing he saw three fillies scared out of their minds as three manticores surrounded them. Dark Phoenix jumped in between the two groups and pulled out his SR-98. "So you want something to eat how about you chew on this!" With that he sent a kick towards one of the manticores feeling satisfied as it broke some of it's ribs causing it to fall down. It attempted to get back up only for a boot of metal to come down on it's face from the air. Another pounced at him which he quickly countered and flipped over his back slamming it into a nearby tree knocking it unconcious and possibly puting it into a coma. He looked for to the third one and growled. The manticore charged and he fired his SR-98 putting a sixty caliber round into the beast and blowing a two foot hole in it's chest causing it to skid to a halt in front of him. He lowered the rifle and looked at the fillies. one was yellow and had red or violet red hair, another with a white coat and a pink and purple mane, and the last one was orange and had a purple mane. Two of them were injured the one with the orange body had minor scratches probably from trees and the yellow one had a gash on her barrel but it wasn't serious to where it would cause her to bleed out butit did need to be tended to by a doctor so it didn't get infected. "Why are you out here little ones?" The children froze. He realized that maybe his helmet was scaring them. I mean if you saw a red eyed creature take out three manticores and come out of it with out a scratch wouldn't you be scared?

"We were trying to get our cutie marks when those manticores attacked us." Said the yellow one who then proceeded to collapse. Dark Phoenix caught her and picked her up gently. He sighed to himself. He had to help them get home and the yellow one in his arms was in no condition to go anywhere. He put his gun away and touched the filie's wound. A blue fire sprang up and he ran it across the yellow filly healing and cleaning her wounds completely. She opened her eyes and looked at him all the while he held her in his arms.

"Lets get you home little ones." With that he began to walk towards the forest exit and into the sunlight. He left the other children once they neared the town and turned on his ATCS turning him and the yellow filly invisible. These children reminded him of the kids at an orphanage he visited they so full of energy and wanting to explore the universe. He asked the yellow filly where her home was and she told him it was some place called Sweet Apple Acres at the edge of town. With that he moved towards the farm and left the small town behind. He soon saw a large orchard and a large house and next to that a barn with several ponies kicking trees. He walked into the orchard quietly and placed the yellow filly down at the doorstep of the house and left leaving the filly. He waved goodbye and vanished into the shadows once again. He sprinted back towards the forest being careful not to hit anyone or let them notice him and soon enough entered it once again. He continued to move towards the area were he had set up his temporary home and base of operations. He jumped over the ravine and landed making sure to take in his surroundings before he walked into the castle. He pulled off his helmet and sighed it was close to noon and he had nothing to do as he had already found the armor and peiced it together. He walked around for a while and soon found himself rebuilding the castle to the best of his abilities to allow him a better defensive position. He soon retired for the night and though he didn't dare sleep he was at peace for now. He soon thought of the dream he had and thats when it struck him there was something in it that was not supposed to be there and this only managed to agitate him. He rubbed his forehead and With that he watched the stars and admired the night sky. He didn't make a fire since it would have given away his possition and he didn't need it even though it was cool out. He enjoyed the cold and hot temperatures and didn't care which it was unless a sun was about to explode. He chuckled at the memory of him and one of his soldiers having a disagreement about who had the best victory record all the while they were completely obliviouse to the fact that a nearby sun had gone super nova. With that he leaned his head back and sighed.

Two eyes watched from the darkness and the owner of them chuckled to himself. "This being may be able to help us when we take over Equestria. I can only think of the damage this being could cause to Celestias army. Heh I might just use him to assassinate them."

Firefight Chapter 5

Dark Phoenix lowered his side arm only to see the creature get back up and he looked pissed. This made him switch to full auto and he unloaded energy round upon energy round into the creature known as Discord. He wasn't scared as he had seen things that would make even a Star Killer shit him/herself. He stopped firing as the sound of a click alerted him to the empty magazine and a need to reload rapidly. He looked at the spot where he had unloaded a freight train of ammunition only to find the creature to be missing from the crater. It wasn't deep which meant that Discord had moved only a few seconds before he ran out of ammunition and had to reload. He watched his H.E.R and a red blip appeared and vanished only to appear again then vanish. It continued to get closer and jumping randomly to and fro on his H.E.R but at the same time it got closer and closer. He watched for a pattern to find that the creature was moving left and right which meant he could anticipate the side from which he would attack. The blip appeared real close to the center before it vanished again which caused Dark Phoenix to jump to his right as a taloned hand swung at the place he was only a second before. "Tricky little bastard aren't you." He said and laughed before rolling forward. He smelled the air and fired his side arm at what appeared to be a heat wave. He was rewarded with a yelp of pain and the creature coming out of it's hiding.

"You'll pay for that. I offer you your home back and you turn around and try to kill me?" Discord screamed. Before he swung at the creature in front of him.

Dark Phoenix ducked and ran full sprint at Discord, ramming into him at several miles per hour, and causing the creature to scream in pain. "That's the problem. I don't kill unless I have to and when I do I keep count. Do you know how many I have killed alone? OVER SIX MILLION THAT MAKES ME JUST AS BAD AS HITLER! THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT I DO IT IN DEFENSE OF THOSE WHO CAN'T PROTECT THEM SELF!" With that he cloaked and vanished before Discord could take in the shock of what he said. "I could beat him with my weapons but I need to save ammunition." Dark Phoenix thought over. He pulled out his combat knife and uncloaked. "HEY ASSHOLE OVER HERE!" He yelled. The creature vanished again and rammed into Dark Phoenix which caused him to fly and hit a pillar making it crumble.

"You are so weak I easily beat you." Discord gloated. He stopped as he noticed the rubble begin to move and to his shock the creature stood up and looked at him dead center in his eyes. What Discord saw was the red eyes on the armor staring at him. He was frozen in fear as if a cockitrace had looked him in the eyes. "What are you? You can't be real? Humans can't be that powerful"?

Dark Phoenix sprinted at the creature before he grabbed both of his knives. He held them in a reverse grip and struck Discord with the pommel of the black blades. "You'd be suprised at we accomplished since we were thrown out into the universe. What we had to accomplish". With that he blocked another attack from the creature and felt something slam into his midsection. He groaned and knew it had to be Discord's tail as it was the only free appendage that he could move. He jumped back as a lion like paw was swung at him. He was hit from behind and thrown out the window as a large boulder had been chucked at him from the creature. He landed with a thud and rolled to his feet. Just in time to be picked up by a paw and taloned hand. He struggled to get free of Discord but knew he would have to stab the creature to get free and that would give away his position as he would free fall and cause a small fireball to be created when he fell. The height, atmosphere, and Ozone would see to it at this point. He wouldn't die but it would attract everyone of those damn ponies and he did not want civilian casualties. The creature stopped and flung him towards a ravine and he impacted a few seconds later with an audible boom. He got up slowly, looked around, and thought of his options. He had only one left as this creature while not powerful against him was deadly to the world itself.

"Oh giving up already I wanted to play some more." Said a sarcastic voice. "You really are pathetic. It's no wonder why you were so easy to thrown off this planet."

Dark Phoenix tensed at that remark. It was him, He was the one, He put humanity in great pain and killed over a billion people. "So you think humanitie's weak? That we have no protection? We were young then but we have grown in numbers, strength, and courage. You can't kill us and I wont let you." With that Dark Phoenix began to change. Black and white wings shot from his back, looking as if they were ablaze, blades protruding from each. He roared in rage and flew up to meet Discord head on. "THIS IS MY HOME AND YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!" He screamed in a dark voice.

Discord tried to fly away but was caught by the human and thrown straight into the forest below causing a thirty foot crater. He quickly got up but was hit with a jet of pure white fire and he screamed as it burned him. He flew out of the crater and began to sling rocks and trees at the Human. It wasn't possible for him to have that much power but he did it stared Discord right in the face as the human got closer and closer.

Dark Phoenix made contact and flipped his right wing up to allow his left wing blade to ram into Discord which sent the creature spinning out of control. He then gathered more of the blue fire into his palm and dove after the monster. When he was close enough he let it loose and it hit dead on which caused Discord to scream in agony. He watched Discord get up and charge an attack which he fired and flew towards him. Dark Phoenix met it head on with his own attack of fire which held out long enough for him to roll out of the way as he charged down onto Discord. He watched as he did it again and this time shot out a white beam of energy which began to eat at Discord causing the monster to fall to his knees. Dark Phoenix was close enough now and cut off Discord's left wing before flinging him into a tree. Dark Phoenix watched as Discord built up another attack which Dark Phoenix interrupted with a shot from his side arm. He missed but managed to cause Discord to move as he landed. Discord flung another tree at him which Dark Phoenix smashed with ease using his bladed wings. he had to finish this and he was going to do it quickly. Dark Phoenix flew up just under the moon so his shadow was cast onto the creature. "Discord you have been found guilty of attacking a U.S.E soldier, attacking the innocent, treason, murder, and oppression. You are here by sentenced to death by U.S.E battlefield doctrine 335-556 section 2 chapter 4. Your sentence is death". With that Dark Phoenix gathered his power and brought a beam of what looked like light from the moon and hit Discord head on which caused him to scream in agony. After a few seconds he released the power and allowed his wings to shrink away, his normal form returning, and him to fall from the sky and barely stick the landing. He looked around and whistled. "Well park service is going to be really pissed about the size of this crater". He had left a crater about twenty football fields long and twenty two wide in the middle of the forest. "Well shit I guess i'm going to have to move now." He sighed as he walked over to the corpse of his now dead enemy. He placed his hand upon the body and muttered to it. "Rest in peace and may the Lord be merciful on you." With that he took two pieces of wood made a cross, buried Discord, and placed the cross at the head.

A sad discovery Chapter 8

Dark Phoenix P.O.V: It had been what? About a week since he had come to Earth and to a country called Equestria. He had the armed forces after him though little of it had been his fault not to mention he was cut off from any U.S.E armed forces so he could go home. His home fleet known as the 4,879th Mythic fleet was probably running around with it's ass on fire trying to find him. He chuckled at the thought of Field Marshall Star Fall trying to keep everything under wraps and not blow up the entire fleet through some freak accident. He had decided to go exploring to gather information on the area around him. From what the dragoness had told him this place was a Diarchy with an armed force of 7,800+ soldiers. He also found out that compared to other countries the Griffin Empire, Changeling kingdoms, and Minotaur states the Equestrian armed forces while highly trained were not in large numbers. What passed for highly trained here would pass off as less than basic training in the U.S.E armed forces. The Dragoness had also allowed him to stay with her which made him rather happy. He was currently hunting and carrying his BS-67 hoping for a deer or bear thankfully he didn't have to wait to long as he soon heard a roar followed by another. He ran silently through the bushes before jumping into a tree to watch what was happening below him. It was a bear against a Hydra not the best match as the Hydra had the bear outmatched with size alone not to mention it's seven heads. He watched as the bear was picked up by the Hydra before being slammed into the ground to fall victim to the Hydra except the seven headed monster didn't kill it right away instead it optioned to play with it which pissed Dark Phoenix off to no end as he believed killing an enemy should be quick and only torture should be used as a last option. This was the Hydra having fun with it's prey before killing it. This caused him to charge at the creature with a roar that could be heard miles away due to the canyons, mountains, and crevices. He blew off one head before hitting two others to shock it while he aimed for the heart area silently cursing himself for not bringing his rocket launcher to deal with something like this.

Celestia P.O.V: She had returned to Canterlot with Luna after she had woken up much to Celestia's relief but now she had fifteen letters to write to different families about the death of they're loved ones. She never enjoyed doing such a thing especially if she had a connection to them like she did to one of the guards in that unit. His name was Silver Spear and she had become friends with him a few years ago. She wished she could take it farther than that but she would out live him while he died in front of her. The unit known as the Speeders was angry and upset over the loss of their friends not to mention the fact that they had been so easily ambushed by another being. She knew they would want revenge and she knew some of them would kill the creature. She on the other hand was angry at what had happened with her soldiers and she could not forgive the creature for it. All she knew was that this creature had emotions but was also able of killing without to much thought on the matter. She realized by openly hunting this thing that she the hunter had become the hunted.

Stravia P.O.V: She had watched the human leave allowing her to be alone for a while letting her think on what the human had said. It made her slightly happy that another being had come to her for help instead of trying to kill her just for being who she was. He had said her kind and his had been friends for a long time which led to one question. Where there others out there? She sighed as the thought of other dragons out in the universe excited her and scared her as she didn't know if they would like her should they come this planet. One thing she did know though was that humanity was returning and it had all gone according to the prophecy. It started out as a human would fall from the skies, become hunted only to turn around and become the hunter, find something it didn't like, fire would rain from the skies, death would follow, and this human would be at the epicenter except she had no idea what was going to happen in full that was the problem with prophecies they left to much room for error and to much unknown.

Dark Phoenix P.O.V: He had put the bear to rest after an hour long fight against the Hydra. He took what he could carry from it before turning around and begining his trek back through the forest only to stop as he saw something. He placed the meat down and walked towards it and what he found was an old house. It looked like it was a 21st century style home as he remembered the design of such buildings from when he was a child. It looked run down but none the less he entered to see what he could find. With his BS-67 raised he pushed open the door gently before scanning the room for anything hostile. He checked behind the door to find nothing. The room he was in was what would have been the living room if there weren't several wasp nests inside. He ignored this and continued into the kitchen where he found a skeleton a human one which caused him to tense up as memories came back to him of the first time he saw a skeleton bleached like this. It was the first time they encountered the Spine Rippers and infectious race that would tear out your spine before driving it's kind into your body completely changing you into a tool of war against your own. He had lost soldiers to those things even though it was very few it still struck him deep when he heard they're screams. The most messed up part was that you could see the torment on the human or alien face after it had been consumed. He hated that race with every fiber in his body. The Skeleton looked to be that of a male as the hip joints were completely different from that of a female. He continued on wards till he entered what was the master bedroom finding another skeleton this one being female but unlike the other one it had the look of being messed with or blown apart if the bone fragments were anything to go by. He soon left the room after finding nothing of use only to enter a smaller room in which two child sized skeletons lay on the floor. What got him the most was the fact that the chest plate of the skeleton had a massive hole in it almost as if it had been hit by a bullet. He check the other to find the skull cracked, two arm bones broken, and finally a femur ground to dust. It looked like the family had been tortured or brutally killed. He was about to walk out until he saw a paper book with the words Milo's journal on it. He picked up the book, blew off the dust, and began to read.

Entry one. October 5,2109: Hi my name is Milo and I'm nine years old daddy gave me you to write in. In my family are four people. Me, my older brother Scott, my mommy sara, and daddy Jake. We live in a forest now and since we do and no one else is around we get bored. Daddy tells us not to go to far from the house because of dangerous things that live out there.

Entry fifteen. November 7,2109: Well we've been out here for a while now and daddy told me why. Some place called Yellowstone exploded and this was one of the few areas not affected. So we live here now. He skipped to a later date and what he read angered and saddened him.

Entry 112. December 24, 2111: I'm eleven now but I'm scared. Things keep pounding on the door telling us to open up in the name of the king and queen but there are none there can't be. These things look like ponies and they tried to kill me when I looked out the window.

Entry 113. December 29,2111: They've gotten in and daddie's dead including mommy. I could hear her scream as the sound of bones breaking reached my ears. I don't want to die. These ponies are were gold armor and have horns or wings I loved pegasi as they were always my favorite mythical creature except these ones are killing us. I just saw brother get killed they blew open his chest and broke his skull. They're after me. The rest -what little there was- was blotted out by dried blood. His hands let go of the book as his hands curled into fists and his body began shake with rage. These ponies had killed children and a family that had done no harm. A single thought ran through his head. These people had been killed for nothing. He grabbed the bones of each family member and buried them with a cross above they're heads. He then did the one thing he rarely ever did. He pulled out his purple Phasna energy knife and drove it into the ground with ten inches out of the thirteen out in open. He began to sing a song that had brought him comfort when he was just starting out as a soldier. It was by a group known as Voice Of Thousands.

"When the world falls apart."
"Show them who you are."
"For no one will care."
"Until they know you are there."
"You are hope."
"You are a shield."
"You take hold of the rope."
"You let scars become healed."
"You must never forget."
"No you must never regret."
"Those who died"
"Those who couldn't be saved."
"They came and they fought."
"They bled like you and me."
"They fought for our freedom."
"Just like you and me."
"Now laid to rest you now are."
"For you have shown everyone who you are."
"A shield."
"A sword."
"A light in the darkness."
"You sacrificed yourself."
"You threw yourself in harms way."
"So others out there could live another day."

With that he ended the song. He admitted he wasn't the best singer but he believed that the thought is what counts. As he turned to leave he could have sworn he heard someone whisper. "Thank you." before walking away from the house. He swore one thing though. He would bring judement down onto these ponies even if he had to bring an entire fleet to do so. The ponies had just opened the doors into a Nightmare and the only way would be to find someway to appologize for they're crimes.

Anger and a retelling of the past Chapter 9

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Over the Forest and through the town to Canterlot dungeon we go. Chapter 10

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.

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*

Treaties, forgiveness, and finally a time for peace. Chapter 11

Dark Phoenix P.O.V: He waited for a few hours in the darkness of the room. A guard came in and freaked out when came out of the shadows behind him which in turn caused Dark Phoenix to frown. The ponies were easily scared by his size or looks from what he had learned and it didn't help that he had killed many of them before hand. Dark Phoenix was getting bored and a bored U.S.E soldier even in a 'barren' cell could get into trouble or experiment in ways you didn't think possible. For instance the ponies didn't bother to even try taking his Tac-guant from him not that they could since he would have to be the one to release it. These ponies would no doubt try to get information out of him which he would comply to a certain extent. His current arrangements consisted of a bed with metal bars (Bad idea) a piss bucket and a barred window to the outside which allowed very little light to the inside. The occassional clopping of hooves was heard when a guard passed by. He began to bend and melt the bed frame into a make shift sword and despite not having the things he normally needed it came out rather well aside from the fact that it was crude. It wasn't like the swords he created both of them named Light (The white sword) and Darkness (The black sword) which had been crafted by him in the year 3789 using Trivium a white metal, Veranat a black metal, and bordas which was used to make the slightly red glowish inner linning. After the year 2278 U.S.E soldiers were allowed to make a sword, bow, spear, or dagger of they're choosing to use in combat. The metals were tough and when combined they could either deflect an energy blade or cut through it depending on the quality. He heard a click and he slid into the shadows as the door opened to his cell to reveal a blue alicorn before it's white counterpart. He smirked as he came out of the shadows to reveal himself.

Celestia/Luna POV: They entered the cell the creature was in only to find it gone. Celestia was about to call for the guards when the thing emerged from the shadows directly in front of her. Lune let out a gasp as she saw the creature step from the shadows with grace and silence of a killer. It chilled Luna to the core. Celestia backed up before a spear flew at the creature which brought out a two foot sword before it split the spear in half from the tip to the end. It then threw the sword at the pony where it impacted a mere inch away from the now terrified pony. Celestia would have whimpered if she hadn't known how to keep her emotions under wraps. Luna was shocked at the skill the creature had split the spear. It was almost as if it had been practicing that move for a long time. Celestia approached the creature before it backed up releasing a feral growl. Celestia stopped a few feet away from it before speaking. "I hope you know how much trouble your in?" She said not expecting an answer only she got the exact opposite. "Then I hope you know how much trouble your in?" She stumbled back before Luna stepped forward anger flaring in her eyes. "HOW DARE THE INSULT OUR SISTER!" She said in the canterlot fortress. The scary part was that the creature didn't seem phased in the slightest. It simply shrugged. "Then don't threaten me with trouble and punishment especially since your talking to someone who's from an inter-galactic empire. So if I were you I'd play nice and learn to leave certain things alone." Celestia sighed before speaking. "I was just stating that you are in serious trouble with our government." The creature whipped around and back handed her causing the guards to try and charge only to be called off by Celestia's hoof. "And your in serious shit for killing human survivors after the blast from Yellowstone National park." Celestia stumbled back from the blow having never been struck before. "Wha-what suvivors?" She asked. It rang a bell about the survivors. The creatures anger was radiating off of him now. "There was a family of four living in the forest. I found all they're bones and buried them right after I found a child's journal. YOU KILLED A GROUP OF INNOCENT PEOPLE! That alone is grounds for war." Celestia was now scared. When she was a filly her father had ordered several guards to kill survivors of a violent race that threatened they're existence. If it had been these survivors the creature was talking about these humans then they had been at war for a long time and neither country knew it. If this creature was a human and they had reached the stars then they would have the technology to destroy her people. Celestia for once in her life whimpered under the cold, angry, red glare of the creature in front of her. "My father said there was some being that were a threat to our species living in the forest and he sent several guards to eliminate them. He said they were humans but how did you know the bodies belonged to human?" She watched the creature smirk slightly. "Your looking at one of the race right now." Luna's jaw dropped with her sister's only Luna spoke first. "How is this possible. The last humans were dead two thousand years ago. Unless your kind managed to preserve it's self some how." They watched the creature smile sadly. "We left." Celestia was confused now. "what do you mean you left?" The creature looked at her and shook his head. "We left this planet. Your currently where my country's location was well one of it's states and my home. Your in Wyoming located on the North American continent." Luna backed up slightly at the sudden culture shock. "We...I'm so sorry if I had known I wouldn't. Oh Gods." Celestia looked down in shame. A human and one that was alone had been attacked because of her inability to the good that was in it's heart. It had killed so many and spared so many others. The stories were true. It had saved the children and it had spared her sister while stopping on the way to help one of the Elements. Celestia's composure broke and began to cry silently. "I'm so sorry for what we did to you. Your race, our protectors, and once greatest friends oh please forgive us. My father hid much from us and we didn't know the truth until several years after he had died." Celestia looked at the human that had suffered so much and suffered more due to her ignorance. She saw the creature get to one knee and look at her before it extended it's hand causing her to flinch slightly. She closed her eyes for the pain but insted felt a warmth on her cheek that made her purr slightly in pleasure. Celestia felt the warmth pull away and she opened her eyes to see the creature looking at her with what could only be described as a kind and forgiving smile but one of authority before it spoke. "There's still time for a peace treaty."

Dark Phoenix POV: He had healed the cut on the white alicorn's cheek and much to hs amusment she began to purr as he pulled away one thing went through his head. If these two were telling the truth then maybe something could be worked out. "There's still time for a peace treaty." He watched the white Alicorn's face brighten slightly before she thanked him and turned to the guards. "This human is to be released for peace talks and is now a guest at Canterlot." Dark Phoenix had on a straight expression at this time since he wasn't really a smiler well not as much as he had been when he was younger well way younger. When your 2052 years old and seen Hell on the battlefield for most of that time your ability to smile tends to leave you in that time. He was escorted to what he guessed was the conference room. He looked around and had to admit it was rather lavish meaning this country most likely had a rich economy. He shook his head thinking about how badly prepared this country was prepared for war. You can have a great economy but without an army to protect it you might as well just put your ass in the air and kiss it goodbye. He was motioned to sit at a chair which had been situated at a table with five others. He sat while the Alicorns began to talk and after a while the door opened and in walked a pink Alicorn with what appeared to be a crystal heart on her flank. There were four seats filled counting him which made him wonder who the fifth was for until a moment later in walked a white unicorn with a blue mane, white tux, and his nose pointed in the air much to the annoyance of Dark Phoenix. "Great another Noble with his head up his ass and his balls no where to be found. This is going to be interesting or down right annoyng." Dark Phoenix saw the unicorn shoot him a look of disgust which he shook off with a sigh before placing his hands behing his head and leaning back slightly as he waited for the unicorn to sit his dick hugging ass down. He looked gay and while Dark Phoenix didn't hate gays he didn't like those with attitude problems like this one. (I don't hate gays or lesbians. While I don't agree with some of they're veiws I'm not going to beat them over the head with a Bible for being who they are.) Then the uncorn opened his mouth that about made Dark Phoenix tackle the damn thing through the solid stone wall behind him. "Why is there a disgusting abomination at this table? This is a conference room not a place for ugly creatures such as him." Dark Phoenix inwardly groaned. This was going to be worse than he expected.

Celestia POV: They had just escorted the human to the conference room for a peace treaty and had been waiting for Blueblood to show up. Well he showed up a few minutes later saying the one thing that made her want to facehoof. Blueblood called him an abonination. Celestia sighed. "Blueblood this is..." she said as she looked to the human to which the human expplained himself. "I am Sky Commander Dark Phoenix of the United States Imperial Armed Forces. I have come here to negotiate a peace treaty with your country in the hopes of peaceful relations should my people come here." Celestia smiled as the creature sat down it's black and white armor glinting slightly under the lighting in the room.

Dark Phoenix POV: He hoped this treaty would go off without a bunch of sarcastic remarks from the blue maned menace that occupied one of the seats.

(A Few Hours later)

Dark Phoenix groaned slightly as he finished signing the treaty. His position as Sky Commander allowed him to sign treaties such as this one in order to promote peace. The U.S.E believed in peace and violence only when it was required such as a warzone. With the treaty finished he took one last look over it and it read.

(Treaty Of Canterlot)

(For the peace of Ponykind and the U.S.E)

Sky Commander Dark Phoenix of the U.S.E has declared that Ponykind is a friendly race and is not to be harmed by U.S.E. armed forces in anyway unless attacked first. Sky Commander Dark Phoenix has agreed to the following and will hold true to them to the best of his ability. He promises to...

.Provide military assistance in times of need.
.Help should we need it.
.Induction into the I.G.P.I (Inter-Galaxy Peace Initiative.)
.Advances into certain fields of science.
.Negotiations with other three human empires.
.Negotiations with star Wolf race.

Princess Celestia of Equestria and Princess Luna have promised as well in the hopes of a brighter future to try and help with the following...
.A port for the U.S.E to work in.
.Miltary operations deemed important to the saftey of Equestria and it's people.
.Asylum for wounded human soldiers.
.Ponies to learn about human history and culture.
.Land for military bases.

With that the case was closed and the Treaty signed with each hoping that it would be benificial to eachother. Dark Phoenix was escorted to a private room were he fell on the bed wide awake. He couldn't sleep and many said he could dream with his eyes open and it wasn't to far from the truth only difference was he could usually control which dreams he saw unless they were of Night Guardian. She was the last person he ever loved and the last one he would love.

Meeting the other factions and a lustful Gryphon.

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Don't mess with Humanity.

Celestia POV: She laughed slightly at his reference to a combat rule book in order to get out of a situation. The fact that he talked seemed to get the others to stop dead in their thoughts. "Well I don't think he'll be removing his helmet then. If his book on the rules of engagement state that he cannot remove his helmet then we should respect that." She said looking at him.

Sarea POV: It was sentient oh gods. It had a rule book for war, armor that looked well kept, and possibly enough muscle to drop most enemies it came across well he came across. She smiled slightly at the thought of him being on their side and possibly her side. "I can respect the fact you wont remove your armor. Most Griffins wouldn't remove their armor unless they wanted to die in a combat zone." she said agreeing slightly with the male. She liked him and couldn't help but support him in some way.

Dark Phoenix POV: He looked at the griffoness and nodded his head in thanks. "Until this meeting is over I will not remove my armor nor will it be attempted to be forcefully removed by anyone." He said with no emotion. It was obvious he had great control over his emotions.

Chrysalis POV: She inwardly growled at the creature's way of talking to them. She frowned and looked at the being even though he was probably a good thing to feed off of when it came to love he had to be put in his place. "We asked you to remove your helmet. NOW REMOVE IT!" She screamed at him in anger. She expected it to listen to her but is instead shook it's head and laughed. "You didn't even say please let alone the fact you just started screaming at me." She frowned at his will. This being was strong willed and while she could use that to her advantage it was also something she would have to break. To much of a strong will and he would never listen to her but too little of a will and he would be useless to her and her hive.

Dark Phoenix POV: He sighed at the female's easy to anger state. It was something he could use against her easily. Anger in a fight was never good unless you could control it which was impossible. The moment you got angry in a fight was the moment you lost the fight itself. "I understand that you came here expecting a weapon to use but I am a living, breathing, sentient form of life. I will not be ordered around by anyone outside my race or by anyone like you. I am sorry but I have sworn to protect Equestria and as such my empire stands behind me." He said with a frown. "Princess I suggest we end this meeting until tempers calm and heads are cooled." He said to her.

Celestia POV: She nodded her head in agreement. "I also agree as this is getting quite out of hand." She saw the minotaur shoot up with a roar before he bull rushed the male. She watched in shock as the human picked up the rampaging envoy and slam him into the ground before placing his arms behind his back making the envoy immobile.

Dark Phoenix POV: "Two things you should know about a U.S.E soldier. One is that we are never off guard and two we are living weapons." He warned him before picking him up and pushing him away. "this meeting is finished until such notice. Any attempts to attack me will be met with...resistance." He said in warning before he turned and left the room. He had, had enough of the others and needed some fresh air. It was starting to smell like horses in the room. He left to a balcony and rested his head in his hands. "God, I don't know if your on this planet but I am asking you, why send me here? These people look like they couldn't harm a fly and their so technologically underdeveloped that they couldn't really do anything to the U.S.E even if they tried. God I just need a point in the right direction and I'll follow it. Amen." He said with a sigh. HE decided to make a log entry about what he had heard and seen.

"December 19th 4042. I have been sent to humanities home and the place where I grew up. Ponies or what used to be ponies have taken over the planet along with several other mythical creatures. Alicorns, unicorns, pegasus, dragons, and minotaurs, along with several other species reside here. How dragons came to be here is beyond me but there will be time to figure that out later. I met a dragoness who has offered her aid to me while the lead ruler of this land has offered to help me and the U.S.E. I don't really know what else to put here other than I seem to be in the beginnings of a planet wide war in which the race I support is currently unprepared. The armor they wear is mostly gold and therefor unable to stop projectiles of any sort. I plan on giving them access to better armor designs and training but not to U.S.E standards. It will only be enough to give them an edge over their enemies. May God protect the United States Empire and it's human counterparts." He ended the log and finally just stared at the stars as he tried to find a familiar star system which could show him the way back home. Humanity knew where Earth was and planned on returning but they never planned on coming back alone and without a ship.

Sorry it took so long. I have so much going on. Trust me the next chapter will be better. Please forgive me.

A test of strength

Dark Phoenix POV: He sighed in slight anger and frustration at how the meetings were going. One of the Griffins wanted to test him in a fight and knowing himself he would kill the damn thing whether it be by accident or purpose. In all honesty he was thinking about silencing one of them before now but being a soldier and all it would look bad on the U.S.E armed forces in general. If they were U.S.I.N.M, U.S.I.A, U.S.I.N or U.S.I.A.F he represented them as the major commander for their forces and as a figurehead.He was the lead of the armed forces but that didn't keep a few people from trying to bring him down. Most were happy with his ability to lead but some were power hungry and had to be taken care of sooner of later. He didn't want to fuck up possible treaties and the fact that he knew nothing of the culture here he could easily offend one of them.

Celestia POV: She was outraged and that was putting it lightly. "Do you have any idea what you have done?" She asked the Griffin envoy. "You could have possibly doomed one of your griffins to death or agitated him." she said trying to convince the griffin female to rethink her choice. The griffin female giggled. "Please Celestia, the minotaurs want to challenge him as well. He'll have two fights and he even accepted the challenge." The griffoness said. This made Celestia facepaw. "You have no idea the power he holds. His weapons alone are thousands of years ahead of even our most advanced, his training surpasses even yours, and let's not even get started on his ability to have surprises ready." Celestia said finding she was getting no where with the female.

Chrysalis POV: The griffins and minotaurs were idiots. Even she knew that at her best she wouldn't be able best the creature. What was the point in fighting him? A test of strength, wits, and power? Maybe that was it but there had to another reason, you don't just challenge a being that radiates power like he does. Her thinking was stopped when a knock came from here door which caused her to sigh. "Enter." She said and a pony soon did. "I-Iv'e been t-told to take you t-to the training area f-or the match." The nervous female said scared out of her mind. Chrysalis sighed. "Lead the way." She said as she followed the pony to where they were setting up for the match.

Dark Phoenix POV: He checked his weapons and selected the MR-50 (Marksman Rifle.) for the engagement. He didn't need anything heavy as the crystallized energy rounds would drop most hostiles with ease. He was here to prove a point, not kill. "Are you ready sir?" Said a pony next to him. Dark Phoenix nodded his head and stood up. He entered the arena and looked around for any cover only to find none. He frowned slightly as he activated his shield and prepared to create his own cover. His attention was drawn to a large male Griffin who entered the arena with a cocky grin on his face before getting into a fighting stance. Dark Phoenix only blinked and switched the safety off on his weapon. "Likely fast, agile, but armor won't hold against my weapon. Weak points are the wings, tail, and beak." He said examining his enemy. "Threat level green." The green threat level meant a target was only a small threat that could be dealt with quickly. The Griffin let out a screech and flew at him before dodging to the left expecting him to be slow in the armor. The exact opposite happened for as soon as the Griffin lunged at him he shot the creature in the wings. It began to thrash around in pain and tried to escape as Dark Phoenix came over to him. "Real strength, is showing your enemy mercy when they can no longer fight." He said and picked up the wounded creature after the match was declared over.

After a few moments he placed him down and turned to head back to the arena as a minotaur stepped forward into it. Dark Phoenix watched the minotaur with a shake of his head. "Yellow at best." The minotaur roared and charged at him before bringing his hammer down to where Dark Phoenix stood. Dark Phoenix simply dodged got behind him and cut the tendons that allowed for control in the legs. He watched the minotaur topple forward and whimper in pain as the back of his legs bled. "Brute force is not always the best option. Sometimes surprising your enemy is the better way." He said and supported the minotaur back to his friends before turning around and leaving.

Celestia POV: I watched him leave, he wasn't like most beings I had come across from Equestria. He didn't boast about his accomplishments, his victories, or any deeds he had done. In the short time I had known him I had seen what my father had been scared of but I had also seen what he should have tried to befriend. Humans are powerful, capable of destroying and creating, and are always learning new things as they push the boundaries of the universe. I couldn't believe that a race like his had been forced to leave or that my father had wiped out the last Human survivors on this world. For once I felt like an invader, like I didn't belong where I am now. This was their world and they had been forced to leave it behind for the survival of their species, this made my heart ache a bit. To lose one's home for tens of thousands of years must have been horrendous in terms of losses and who knows how many of his people were left behind when they had to leave. "Urgh, I can't think on this. I'll have to ask him myself…though I don't think I'm mentally prepared for what I may hear". I say to myself. Unfortunately Chrysalis overheard me. "What are you going on about Celestia"? She questioned me. "This is their world, I'm just wondering how many people they lost when they had to leave this world". Turning away I took flight out of the arena, I had a Human to talk to.

I'm sorry this took so long to get out. I'm a senior in high school now and it's gotten crazy. Please don't hate me.

Even Angels Suffer

Author's Note

Okay. I know it's been a while but I have an explanation. I recently finished basic training and entered my AIT. I won't bore you with the details but that's why I haven't updated along with the fact that I was fighting with the state to get an ID didn't help either but thankfully I got in and finished basic. Chapter will be coming out again and I'm so sorry for making you all wait so long but thank those who took and interest and still have an interest in the story. I hope you enjoy the new chapter.

Even Angels Suffer

Dark Phoenix POV: One thing I hated to do was fight those who were many tiers below Humanity in both culture and technology. If we gave them a Blood Lust they'd blow themselves up while trying to figure out what made it tick which would result in several cities or towns being destroyed. These people couldn't begin to comprehend the struggles that Humanity had gone through to achieve what it has achieved. In every species lifetime there is an era of Trials in which they are tested to see if they're worthy to continue existing in the universe, a large part of me worried about the trials these creatures would have to go through. "Mister Phoenix"? I heard a voice behind me and I spun around quickly, finding both the sisters behind me. "I know it may be a bad time but…could you tell us what happened to your people after you were made to leave"? I watched Celestia shuffle her wings which made me sigh. "Tomorrow, I have to take care of some things". I said with an even tone before walking away.

Luna and Celestia POV: "Well that went better than expected". Celestia commented as she looked at Luna to which Luna only laughed. "What's that mean? Did you think he'd try to eat us or something"? Luna chuckled lightly as she said that. "No, I just expected him to flat out say no or not say anything. We already know a rough history but I have a feeling that there's more to him and his people than we think". Celestia watched Luna tilt her head. "We could just go into his dreams, we might find something there and gain some more information as to where he's from". Luna watched him disappear around the corner. Celestia looked at her sister thoughtfully. "Well I will allow it but try not to delve into his personal matters. We don't need a repeat of the 26th". She started to crack up after that while Luna blushed. "We were t-trying to help. We had no idea that child had dreams of us". Luna stuttered slightly as she turned a bright shade of red…well more of a purple because of her fur color. "Though we do need to see who he really was before he came here". With that Luna returned to her room where she began to search for the Human. She found his dream as it held a strange energy that other dreams didn't have. She entered it and boy was she in for the ride of her life as she began to follow him around.

Dark Phoenix POV: Sighing I set my AR-45 down and leaned it against some of the railing on the balcony. I closed my eyes and got sleep for the first time in a while. My dreams wandered to the battle of the planet of Marasi. It was an alien planet at the time, not part of the U.S.E when we first arrived. The Drey had begun an attack on the planet and we had intercepted a plea for help. We believed that the people thought that if a hostile alien race was attacking then maybe there was a friendly alien race that could get to them and save them. The dream started where we intercepted the transmission and plea for help.

Dream world: "Sky Commander! We have a priority one message intercept! We just translated it and you need to hear it"! Came the call from a corporal who was in charge of communications traffic control. The Dark Phoenix walked over to the young male, his red eyes showing concern. "Where's it from first off"? He asked and the Corporal brought up a small map before identifying a small planet. "X-ray one four nine nine three. It's a good sized world and we did send an All Terrain Unmanned Recon Drone to watch it. The images we received don't show anything good though. The Drey have laid siege to the world". Dark Phoenix sighed and let out a small growl. "Play the message". He ordered the corporal who tapped a few holokeys and the message began to play. "Please...i-if anyone is out. I-f any...cares. We're in danger. We....verge...extinction, Please help. We......beg.....". The corporal turned to the Sky Commander who was seething. "Set the ship to FPCON Alpha now"! He yelled to the bridge before the sound of soldiers and sailors moving about with a purpose was heard behind him. The alarms went off as the lights dimmed and the defense metal blast armor covered the view, cameras activating as they gave them a view of the outside.

"All personnel report to battle stations. I want the 1,879th Lightning drop battalion LDTs (Lightning Drop Troopers.) in the hangar now! Star Killer recon teams and sapper teams are to deploy once we arrive! The 807th armored battalion will attach themselves to the 1,879th. This is an extinction class event people, get to it"! He yelled as the ship jumped. "Weapon systems are hot and ready Sky commander, Diablo interceptors and Pillar Of Fire bombers are on stand by, all HDS-25s are being loaded as we speak. ETA till we reach the planet in two minutes". Came the captain of his ship. The U.S.I.S Eclipse was a World Burner class battleship meaning it was heavily armed and armored but still fast and agile. In each fleet there was 100 ships made up of battleships, galaxy fighting frigates, a few carriers, and one planetary defender. The combat troops in each fleet numbered 500,000 in total. The ships fell out and a shudder was felt as purple phasna energy went flying from the U.S.I.S Eclipse, slamming into a larger but more primitive Drey ship, gutting the ship it hit and tearing it apart. "All forces commence attack on the enemy fleet and defend this world"! He ordered as he ran towards the hangar to get in one of the HDS-25 Heavy Duty dropships.

On the planet below the people huddled together as their last city began to lose it's defenses one by one, the people crying out in fear and anguish as they believed this was their end. The children cried and asked their parents if they were going to be okay and the parents tried to be strong but why lie to a child when your world was going to end? Suddenly there was a new sound, not the whine of the alien weapons, not the screams of the dying or wounded. It sounded like thunder. The sound came again and out of the sky came alien transports, screaming towards the ground before pulling up suddenly and landing. The transport dropped off a tank and about twenty soldiers who went into buildings, looking for survivors, and assuring them that everything would be okay. The people looked up to the sky once more to one of the hostile alien ships falling from the sky and they felt hope. The universe had not abandoned them, help had come in the form of angels on metal wings. The people's cries turned from anguish to joy as many watched the new comers battle the hostile aliens that came before. The new aliens (the U.S.E.) cutting down the enemy and saving the lives of many wounded. Outside of the city the U.S.E deployed troops in large numbers and was soon joined by more as additional U.S.E fleets jumped in to assist in the liberation and saving of the species.

The ride down was smooth even with the enemy AA. The Sky commander opened the back door as it flew over the battlefield. "LDTs, what are we"?! He called to the twenty soldiers with him. "WE ARE ANGELS OF VENGEANCE"! They responded. "Damn straight! Get ready to jump"! He yelled and activated his helmet, closing it over his face. "3, 2, 1. The light is green! Go go go"! He called through his communication system as each of the twenty soldiers jumped off before he followed. He dove towards the ground, targeting a Drey soldier as it prepared to kill a civilian. They didn't last long as he landed on top of the creature, crushing it underneath him from his impact. He grabbed the civilian and placed them behind him as enemy fire came his way which his shields blocked easily. He returned fire, killing the hostile before him. The twenty he had jumped out with formed a defensive line as armor and additional troops dropped behind them. A pair of soldiers grabbed the civilian from behind him and escorted them away from the battle towards the sections of the city that had been secured. "FORM A PERIMETER AND HOLD THEM HERE"! He yelled through the communication system that linked him with the rest of the battalion. He continued the fight against the enemy, holding back several waves before being shoved to the ground by another soldier who's head went missing due to an extremely lucky shot, coating him in blood as his head popped like a tomato.

Dark Phoenix POV: I awoke with a start. "FUCK"! I yelled and shot up, wiping the blood from my armor. "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK"! I yelled again as I wiped away blood that I didn't realize was not there before laying back against pillar, breathing hard as my hands shook. I checked myself as I shook ,for any blood, praying that it was only a dream. It took several minutes before I finally calmed down as there was no blood on my armor. I couldn't sleep for the rest of that night.

Luna POV: I was shoved out the dream and left with a sad smile. He was a good person but...the horrors. Celestia and I had never seen war on this scale or the desire to protect so strong. I had seen many things in his dream. I saw a being who was smart, who put the lives of those he didn't even know before his own, he was brave as he dove into battle with his troops to lead them. I also saw something else too. I saw someone who fought with the desire to die but couldn't, I saw horrors and burning cities, I saw how it impacted him bringing out the anger and sadness, I saw the torture he went though on a daily basis. I heard a yell and repeated cursing after the ending of the dream where he saw one of his own get his head taken off. "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK"! I peered outside to see him trying to wipe off blood that wasn't there. I saw him shaking as he looked himself over and finally calm down minutes later. A single sentence left my mouth as I saw the sad sight before me. "Even angels suffer".

Regroup and Counter Attack Chapter 6

Dark Phoenix knew he had most likely attracted attention to this area and once they found the grave they would look for him in any nearby area that could possibly be a shelter to him. He quickly activated his ATCS and made his way towards the castle to gather his Star Chart. The last thing he and U.S.I.A.N.A.C needed was these ponies to have access to star records of humanity and where their new home planet was located. If that fell into enemy hands that were capable of space travel it would not only present a problem but a serious security breach into Section ten of the U.S.I.A.N.A.C command structure. He continued to run until he came across the castle which now several dozen of the damn ponies now hovered or walked around. They all looked to be the armed forces of this planet which would not be a problem as they could easily be dealt with but he prefered to avoid bloodshed if he could as did any soldier of the U.S.E. He crouched, opened his black and white wings, flew across and landed quietly to hear two voices talking about the Star Chart. He jumped up and landed gracefully on one of the turrets and looked down to see what appeared to be a high ranking officer and the two Alicorns studying the Star Chart. His P.M.D highlighted them in red and he scanned the area for any possible distractions to get them away from the map, his sights stopped on the bridge which was being used to move supplies to and from the castle. He smiled, climbed down, and silently headed towards the bridge.

Celestia looked at the weird map "What do you think of this map of sorts sister? It seems highly advanced and it appears to have multiple star names including this place called Sky Haven. It's highlighted as the capital."

Luna sighed. "We believe the creature is using this Star Map for some purpose that we do not understand. For all we know this could be part of plans for an invasion."

Celestia sighed. "That does make sense in many ways but why would he leave a Star Map this advanced lying around?" She looked up to see a pegasus patrol return and they had worried and shocked expressions on their faces. "What's the matter Blade Breeze?" She asked in concern.

Blade Breeze was shocked beyond all belief at what he had seen. "We found a large clearing five times bigger than Canterlot and it looked like a major battle had happened. We found this plus sign in the dirt above a burned and battered body. It looked like the one you call Discord and it also looks like something beat him to death like he had met his match. He was severely burned and several bones were broken while what was left of his eyes showed horror. This is the sign we found." He held out the sign and it said. "Here lies Discord. An enemy to Freedom and Liberty. Tyrant and oppressor that died during a battle against a U.S.E soldier. Let his death be a lesson for all evil that they're acts will not be tolerated. Rest in peace you bastard."

Celestia was shaken by the words and almost threw up from the message and the description of the body. "We need to find the creature it might be linked to Discord's death." She sighed and then jumped as an explosion was heard from the direction of the bridge. She ran to find the bridge destroyed and burning while a new twenty foot cut off became clear as she approached.

Dark Phoenix chuckled as he place the C-98 explosive on the bridge as this was a massive demolition charge used in the U.S.E for anti-tank matters and bringing down buildings. He flew back up to his perch with a smile. "Happy fourth of July." and detonated the explosives. He watched one Alicorn leave the room which was the white one leaving the blue one with a small group of they're guards to protect her. He frowned as the explosives had not drawn away all the attention which forced him to resort to killing the guards. He didn't enjoy killing, no soldier did. To many people thought was about shooting the bad guy when in truth you were there for a reason. When he killed someone it weighed heavily on his mind which is why he had six scratches on his left armor shoulder plate. Some would think he only killed six people and that he didn't deserve his position when in truth each mark stood for a million beings dead by his hand. He pulled out his SR-98 and sighted the first two guards that stood next to each other. He aimed for the bodies as his instructor had taught him not to go for the head shot's since center mass was not only easier to hit but it also kept him from missing. He rarely tried to go for headshots unless it was unavoidable. He pulled the trigger sending the sixty caliber energy and melted crystal round towards it's target with a small Pfft killing the guards instantly as it passed through their hearts. He moved to the next turret as it was never wise for a sniper to stay in the same place after taking a shot. He settled down in the turret and looked through the Night Predator Trithreat scope to see the ponies looking around frantically which allowed him to fire off another two shot's killing three guards as the rounds collided with they're bodies. "Scratch five." He whispered to himself. He moved once again to a low wall as he made his way towards the Star Map and took out the last two guards leaving only the blue Alicorn with a now sickened and scared expression in the room. He snuck up behind her, grabbed her horn, placed a hand over her mouth, and whispered into her ear. "It's not nice to remove stuff from graves not to mention touch stuff that isn't even yours." He said before slamming the butt of his rifle into her skull knocking her out completely. He then grabbed the map and looked around to see two very stunned guards looking at him. They attempted to shout but were silenced as he tore out one of their throats and stabbed the other with a eight inch purple blade of energy killing them instantly. He didn't want to draw more attention to himself and activated his ATCS vanishing from veiw. He then left a message that read. "I killed Discord for his acts of cruelty and genocide against your race. If you continue to pursue me more of your guards will die. I won't kill you or your sister since you remind me of two people I proudly served with but I will kill all your soldiers." With that he turned to leave the room to watch from a distance. He deployed his SR-98 nearby as he knew they would try to pursue him and he would have to kill some of them to make a point.

Celstia returned to the room and found her sister unconcious and nine guards dead. "Guards get in here we have dead and my sister is out cold." She said. Several guards entered the room to see the nine dead guards while some threw up at the sight of their dead brothers. She looked at the note and shuddered at what she read. She then looked at the guards assembled before her numbering a hundred in total "I want this creature found I want it chained for..." BANG! A loud sound echoed through out the castle causing the ponies sensitive ears to ring. Celestia looked up to see an entire line of her finest fall dead on top of each other.

Dark Phoenix heard the white alicorn and fired into a neatly lined up group of the ponies killing all ten in the line. He then fire of two more rounds killing nne more before he took off into the forest. These ponies had tampered with the Star Map and had knowledge of restricted U.S.E information so there for he had to kill some to make a point and keep them silent becuase of the horrors they were seeing. He moved deeper into the forest with a scowl on his face but he knew had done what was required to insure his survival for a short time. He continued his way into the forest and scanned the area for any signs of being followed what surprised him was a yellow mare with wings crying over a dying Manticore he could hear here saying. "I'm sorry I can't save you my friend." Dark Phoenix frowned as the sound of an innocent crying was one thing that actually wrenched his cold and locked up heart. He had feelings he had just numbed them down or killed certain ones of but kindness and sympathy he had not gotten rid of. He walked next to the pegasus and knelt next to her. He noticed her look up in fright and begin shaking.

"Please don't kill me I don't want to die." Fluttershy whimpered with her ears pinned to her head. What happened next was the creature pulled off it's head no wait it was a helmet and it revealed a sad face with kindness that she couldn't understand. He had a black and white mane on top or something that moved like the princesses manes and his face was a tan of white she heard a shuffling noise and saw two wings that looked like they were on fire with a black and white fire. She watched it extend it's hand and place it against the Manticore and a blue fire consumed it. She was about to scream in horror until she noticed the fire healing the wounds and bringing the Manticore's breathing back to normal. She was surprised and looked at the creature to notice him staring at her. His eyes were red but not the kind that screamed evil. They were more like the eyes that had seen to much and she saw several things in them Rage, pain, wisdom, anger, hate, kindness, and extreme intelligence and age. "Who are you?" She asked.

Dark Phoenix sighed as he removed his hand. "I am Sky Commander Dark Phoenix leader and protector of the United States Empire. We are a large freedom fighting force that protects the innocent at all costs and we have the most feared army in the universe." He said. "I have to keep going but may God and his Guardian Angels watch over and protect you little one." He said and got up. He turned and waved before heading farther into the forest happy that he was able to have a decent conversation with one of the ponies, well what counted as decent in a combat zone.

Fluttershy watched him go with and felt her heart become heavy with sadness. "Fluttershy we need you to get back to the old castle right now!" She heard Twilight say in worry. Fluttershy got up and ran towards her friend. "Twilight you'll never believe what happened. I mat and talked to the creature." She said as she ran towards Twilight.

Twilight looked at Fluttershy with concern and worry. "What do you mean you met it?" Twilight asked in worry only to have Fluttershy tell her that they had talked. "We need to get you to the Princesses right now." She said and took off with her friend in tow.

Celestia was talking to Luna when her student came in out of breath with her friend Fluttershy right behind her also out of breath. "What happened Twilight?" Celestia asked with concern.

Twilight huffed as she tried to regain her normal breathing. "Fluttershy.. Sh..she...talked to.. the...cre...creature." She said out of breath still.

Celestia's eyes widened and she rushed over to Fluttershy to see if she had been harmed in anyway shape or form only to find her in perfect health. "What did you talk about what did it do?" She asked in rapid fire mode.

Fluttershy ducked away before responding. "He healed a Manticore and he told me his name. He said he was Sky Commander Dark Phoenix leader and protector of the United States Empire the largest and most feared freedom fighting force in the universe. He also blessed me I guess you could say." She said.

Luna shook her head. "Not possible he is a killer at heart." She said in anger.

Fluttershy shook her head. "No he said may God and his Guardian Angels watch over and protect you little one before he left. He was wishing me well and I saw his eyes. They were like a hurricane of emotion that never ended or calmed. There was so much rage, anger, sadness, guilt, kindnes, wisdom, hate, and he was extremely intelligent and he seemed older that he looked." She said with a slight sadness in her voice.

Celestia shuffled uncomfortably. "Do you have anything else to add my friend?"

Fluttershy nodded her head. "His skin was white but not pale white more like a peach tan and his eyes were crimson red while his hair or mane flowed like yours and Luna's does. It was black and white but there was signs of silver that showed in the mane repeatedly he also had wings that were black and white as well except they looked like they were on fire."

Celestia's eyes popped at the mention of what he looked like. He was an angel well in his own right. His soul and heart were of the purest intentions and while dark he seemed to be unwilling to let harm come to the innocent and would even help them directly. She recognized what he was. He was an Earthly Angel or in detail and human that was transformed into a living, breathing, physical angel to protect those who needed it. They were often selected because of thier pure intentions and hearts and they could only die in combat. She had heard myths about them and the human race but that was over 2,000 years ago and she hadn't believed the stories. The tale went humanity used to live on the planet that the ponies, griffins, and ect. all lived on but were forced off due to a cataclismic event that killed half they're population even though it numbered in the billions. Now it seems humanity was returning and they would want they're home back. From the technology she had seen the creature um human use his race was highly advanced and could easily wipe them out.
