The Rebel King

Chrysalis was power-mad at this point and Dewlap was putting a crown, his crown, in a bag. He finally decided to run way from the evil dictator that Chrysalis was, knowing that he would go phsyco bonkers if he stayed, also asking himself What the kingdom falls?. It was time her decided to leave, to join the winning side. He made many questions that started with What if?. He wanted to make something good, make sure the empire doesn't fall on him, but on Chrysalis. He closed the bag and punched Chrysalis' snout. "Get him! Don't let him escape!" She ordered. It was to late for soldiers to get to Dewlap because he just left the building. There was a sizzling noise as he ran about eight hundred feet away in the distance. A noise filled the air and there was a bomb heading right at Dewlap. He looked back as he ran.

"Oh crud." He mumbled. The bomb was falling towards him. It hit the ground and Dewlap was caught in the fire as the bomb exploded, and then he blacked out. He woke up with his eyes weary and a tall white pony exiting a room. He realized he was in a jail cell. He had a few bruises and a scar, he found that out when he laid on his scar. He shouted in pain. He turned to his right and noticed a yellowish pegasus with a pink mane and tail. She was whimpering as he stared at her. "Who are you?" Dewlap asked. The pony went back a few steps without a response. He went back looking at the floor in confusion. He had so many questions to ask. He couldn't even remember what happened before he blacked out. The pegasus finally spoke.

"My name is Fluttershy." She mumbled. That question didn't even matter to him now. He was in so much confusion, he didn't need to meet anyone. A cyan pegasus bursted in with a bag.

"Come on Fluttershy. Twilight says Celestia needs him for some reason. You're free now." The pegasus unlocked the cell and gave him the bag. He opened it and inside was loaves of bread and his crown.

"Thanks for giving it back. And aren't you the one who became part of the wonder bolts? I'm guessing you are Rainbow dash." She looked astonished. After that she left the room. Dewlap was guessing that he should follow her. He left the room and light shined on his eye. Celestia was near the door talking to Rainbow dash. She left in a hurry and Fluttershy walked to Celestia.

"We don't know where he came from, how should we return him if he came from an unknown origin?" Fluttershy asked. That question puzzled Dewlap as well, Celestia was thinking of a way to send him back somewhere. Dewlap opened the bag and put on his crown. Celestia was staring at him, but then she was looking at his crown. She had that look that meant she had an idea. Dewlap had an unsure look. Celestia then used magic to take away his crown. Dewlap flailed his arms around and grabbed the crown. She shook the crown around so Dewlap couldn't hang on.

"Don't take my fucking crown!" He yelled

"Hm, perhaps this wasn't used at all." She said. He took back the crown and put it on again.

"What do you mean 'wasn't used at all'?" He asked. Celestia whispered something to Fluttershy. Celestia looked back to him and was thinking of a way to explain something.

"Princess Luna has been unconscious from fighting an army. I can't guarantee that your crown has the amount of power it has than it did before." She said. "your crown has never been used, now is a good time to use it now on Luna. It has healing powers." Dewlap looked at her like she spoke in a native language. He wondered if Chrysalis wasn't telling everything she did know. He was starting to piece up everything he did know and try to know more. "Go to Luna. Try to learn how to use the power of your crown. If it doesn't work, well you tried." Celestia told him. He was piecing everything he did know into something that he will know. He decided he had nothing else to do, well why not? Yet, there as a question.

"What's in it for me?" Dewlap asked

"I'm sure you'll have to talk to my royal guard." Celestia said in an angered voice.

"I'll take them out." He replied.

"You can here for a reason, and one reason only. You left to help the changeling empire fall on someone else instead of yourself. Please help if you want to do that." Celestia looked down him with a close eye. Dewlap wondered how she knew that, but it never was the point.

"Fine, but I won't like it." Dewlap said in agreement

He ran to the infirmary and saw Luna laying back on a bed, making groaning noises. Dewlap expected something more. "Alright, let's use this power of yours." He tried to use everything he could do to use magic, then suddenly, his horn started shimmering and flashing with a a green aura. He felt like his energy was being absorbed. Finally, Luna woke up groaning a bit more. Dewlap felt hollow and weak. He had his tongue out while breathing like a dog. He fell on his back, panting with his arms wide open. Luna got out of the bed and looked at him.

"look out the window, if you still have energy to even use your legs." Luna said. He couldn't stand. The healing energy drained more than it should've. He dragged himself on the floor and to the window. A table was near the window, so he supported his legs by pushing himself up on the table. He glanced out the window, he was shocked by the appearance. Half of Canterlot was crumbled. Even though he's only been there for twenty minutes, he knew that Canterlot isn't the same. "That was how I got unconscious. Do you see what could happen if more attacks happen in the future?" He didn't respond. Luna helped him get up on his feet, but every time he would take a step, he'd fall. He dragged himself out of the room and back to Celestia. A unicorn was with Celestia.

"What happened here?" She asked.

"Dewlap here, has woke me up, but he hardly has the energy to use his legs." Luna explained. He dragged him to the unicorn and held out a hoof to offer a hoof shake. She shook hooves with him and introduced herself. "Twilight, show him around the remaining part of Canterlot." She said.

"Alright, I'll find Rainbow dash as well." Twilight grabbed his hoof and dragged him out of the building. She opened the door and saw Fluttershy rebuilding a house. She sprinted to her and said something else, and as Twilight was talking to Fluttershy, Dewlap was approaching them.

"You think he'll be a danger?" Fluttershy said. They glanced at him nervously with a fake smile. They stepped back once.

"Okay, let's show you around Canterlot." Twilight told him. "Come along." Dewlap followed her as they headed towards a newsstand. "I believe you know what this is." He grabbed a news paper and didn't understand a thing what in there. Changelings...? He saw that name and he had a headache and fell down. His head was pounding, he felt weak again. The headache stopped and he got up "Are you alright?" Twilight asked.

"Oh, you see me fall down in pain. Of course not!" Dewlap exclaimed. Twilight jumped back a little. She took a deep breath.

"Moving along now." She said. They went to a restaurant that seemed that it was reserved for Filthy Rich. There were posters up on every window for just one cake. Nothing seems regular for Dewlap.

"So remind me why we're here?" Dewlap questioned? Twilight looked back at him with a disappointed face.

"Look, I don't want to be with you as much as you don't want to be with me. We're just suppose to bring you to one of our generals to he can put you in a useful position." Twilight said. Ponies stared it him. Some whispered to others. "Don't pay attention to them." She said. There was some kind of bunker in the distance. Pegasi were flying up and down from it. As they got closer to it, Pegasi were looking at him and they fell out of the sky because they were doing some kind of training. Dewlap laughed at their failure. "Well, here we are. The Canterlot army base." A pony approached them. He seemed to have a sharp and long sword in his hoof.

"Hey Twilight, who's he? Finally brought a recruit?" He pointed his sword at Dewlap.

"Dave, for once. Yes. We need him at a reliable spot." She replied. "By the way, where's Shining Armor?"

"Oh, he retired." Dave replied. "Hey you, can you fly? And what's your name?" He asked.

"If you mean staying in the air longer enough, then no. The name's Dewlap, sir." Dewlap replied.

"Good, you know respect. Now, I'm going to get you a dagger and some armor. I'll be right back." He walked inside a bunker that had spray paint on it.

"Hey Dewlap. Kill yourself out there." Twilight punched his shoulder.

"Hate you too." He replied. Dave came back with a dagger and a orange suit. Dave dropped the equipment near Dewlaps feet.

"Looks heavy, doesn't it? That suit won't dent if someone stabs you." He handed Dewlap the dagger. He put on the suit and it turned on.

"So how does it normally go around here?" Dewlap asked.

"Well you're different than anyone of us here. So you'll get attention around here. Training is at noon. The armory is over there. Go eat something, maybe visit ponyville. That's where Twilight lives." He told him.

An hour later, Dewlap and Dave are training against each other. "Come on! Where are your reflexes?" The other soldiers were laughing at him. Others paid no attention. "Dewlap, lets get you a sandwich. You seem hungry." Dave and Dewlap went to a cheap sandwich restaurant for one bit per sandwich.

"Why are we here again?" Dewlap asked. He kept buying a sandwich after he eats another one.

"I'm hungry. We don't have breakfast over at the bunkers, so I eat here while I can." He replied

"Seems pointless when you're not hungry." Dewlap muttered. Dave looked up at him.

"So why did Twilight bring you here?" He asked.

"Do we really need to talk about this?" Dewlap said. Dave kept staring at him as if he wanted to know. "Ok fine. She didn't know what to do with me when I woke up. In a prison at least. I read the word changelings and then my head started to hurt like hell." Dave wanted to know more. "I know want to hear more but that's all I know." Dave look at him. He slowly grabbed a knife.

"You're one of them." He pulled out his knife and threw it at Dewlap.

"Dave! Calm down! I hardly remember anything to even know my species wanted to attack this place!" Dewlap shouted at him. He looked at Dave with a worried expression. "You're scaring me! Just stop and eat the stupid sandwich of yours!"

"Sorry, They've been attacking since last month. They come in swarms. Look over there." He pointed at Ponyville which had a dozen flames visible and smoke coming from each fire. There were black specs swarming the place. "Wait, They're still there? Come on!" They ran down hills and went to ponyville. There were screams of terror and loud hissing noises.

"This is what happened?!" Dewlap exclaimed.

"They've been firing bombs since. And I though they stopped after the last attack." Changelings approached them, growling with anger. "Dewlap, ready for your first kill?"

"I wouldn't consider it my first." Dewlap said. The two changelings jumped at them. Dave and Dewlap both stabbed them and kicked the lifeless corpses away. "That felt fun."
