Celestia sat in her throne with a dark tired look, and gave a heavy sigh. She rubbed her eyes, and rose from her throne. "I'm going for a walk in the garden. If any news concerning last nights attack on Ponyville is brought forth, then please find me." Celestia said to the guard.

"Of course your highness." The guard said. Celestia walked down from her throne, and exited the the room. Ever since Luna told Celestia about the attack she has not been able to think straight, she hasn't even smile once, which worried many of the guards, and servants as their princess of the sun walked through the halls with a dark, blank look. They are so use to her generous loving spark that always flickered in her eyes, and her kind smile that brought a peaceful warmth to all of their hearts, but today they see a new princess. Not one of peace, and harmony, but one of worry, and darkness. Even the sun seemed different. It didn't shine as bright as it always does, and it didn't give as much warmth, and comfort. Celestia sighed as she entered the gardens, and took a deep breath of fresh air. She smiled gave a small, and began to walk through the calm gardens. The wind blew gently against her face, and the sound of the birds singing filled her ears. She soon reached a benched that was near a small pond with crystal clear water, and sat down. She sighed, and stared into the sky. The clouds floated in the blue sky, and several flocks of birds flew by. For a second Celestia's worried mind was relaxed, but her relaxation soon died as she felt someone near her. It took her a few seconds to figure out who it was, and once she realized who was she chuckled.

"Hello Discord." Celestia said, and looked over her shoulder to see a smiling Discord lazily floating to her left. Discord chuckled, and rested his head into his hand.

"Hello Celestia, how are you on this find day?" Discord asked. Celestia shook her head.

"Today is not a find day Discord, you know that." Celestia said. Discord gasped, and snapped his fingers. A news paper then appeared into his hands, and he pointed at the article with the picture of a burnt market.

"Haven't you seen the paper? Ponyville was attacked by a strange creature, and the entire town was almost set ablaze." He laughed. Celestia gave Discord a angry look.

"Do you think this is funny?" She asked. Discord stopped laughing, and rolled his eyes.

"Oh lighten up Celestia, you know I still love some good chaos." He said. Celestia sighed.

"What is it you want Discord? I only want to relax for at least a few minutes." She asked. Discord then got one of his old evil smiles, and chuckled.

"Well I was going on another vacation, but when I heard about your problem I couldn't help but join in the fun." Discord said.

"What do you mean?" Celestia asked.

"Well I wanted to let you know that you won't need to worry about that human anymore." Discord said.

"Why is that?" Celestia asked.

"I will be taking the human as my personal play toy." Discord chuckled darkly. Celestia was about to ask what he meant, but something had crossed her mind.

"How did you know it's a human?" Celestia asked.

"Oh I knew from day one. I knew I felt something strange, but I thought you could handle it. Looks like I was wrong." Discord chuckled. Celestia rose to her feet with anger in her eyes.

"You knew the entire time!? If you would have captured him, none of this would have happened!" Celestia shouted with rage. Discord nodded.

"Yes, if I would have captured this human all of this could have been avoided, but this human had a spark in him. A spark that that had potential to start a fire in this world." Discord said with a evil grin.

"What spark? What fire? Why are you speaking this nonsense?" Celestia asked. Discord laughed, and flew high up into the air.

"Oh don't worry about it Celestia, I'm just speaking nonsense as usual. Just relax, and know that the human will soon be out of your hair." Discord said, and opened a portal, but before he could get through, Celestia stopped him.

"Wait!" Discord looked back, and smiled.

"Yes?" Discord asked.

"What are you going to do with him?" She asked.

"You know I like to collect rare, and interesting creatures. Even though he's not rare, he's very interesting." Discord said. Celestia sighed, and nodded.

"Very well, just make sure he does not cause any more problems." Celestia said. Discord nodded, and smiled.

"Don't worry, you can count on me." Discord said, and entered the portal. The portal disappeared, and Celestia was left alone again in the gardens. Celestia sighed, and sat back down on the bench, and smiled.

[Jacobs prov]

I laid on the ground panting, and sweating buckets. I stared up at the sky, and chuckled. I looked to my left, and saw my helmet next to both a bloody, and out of breathe Abe, and Glenn. They saw me chuckling, and soon joined me. I then looked to my right, and saw a blood stained lion with a scorpion tail, and the wings of a bat, laying on the ground without any motion. I sat up, and sighed. "Well, that was fun." I chuckled.

"Sure, almost getting torn apart by a Manticore was fun." Abe said sarcastically.

"Well at least we got food for the tribe. This meat should last for a few days." Glenn said, and pulled out a sharp, curved blade. "And now I get to test my new knife."

"Where did you get that?" Abe asked.

"Those damn griffin's had a few of them, so I took one for myself." Glenn said, and walked over to the dead Manticore. "Help me out with this." Abe groaned, and walked over to Glenn with his satchel, and pulled out a dull blade. They began to cut chunks of flesh from our kill, and Abe looked back at me.

"Ya gonna help?" He asked. I sighed, and rose to my feet.

"Might as well." I said, and pulled out my own knife. I walked up to our kill, but stopped dead in my tracks. I felt like something was watching us, and looked over my shoulder. I saw nothing but the woods, and I was about to turn back around towards the kill, but I soon noticed that my helmet was missing. "You guys have my helmet?" I asked.

"No." Glenn said.

"It was over there." Abe said. I grabbed my rifle, and scanned the area.

"Yeah, that's what I thought to." I muttered. I slowly walked towards the spot where my helmet was, and kept my finger on the trigger as I kept scanning my surroundings, but before I could reach the spot, something shot out of a near by bush, and wrapped around my legs. Before I could do anything I was pulled off the ground, and slammed hard onto the ground. I aimed my rifle at the bush, and fired several shots, but it didn't help. I was slammed into a tree, and lost my rifle as it flew into the woods. "Shit!" I shouted. My attacker soon let go of me once there were two loud battle cry's. I looked up and saw Abe, and Glenn charging towards the bush with their blades, but before they were even close, several chains shot out of the ground, and wrapped around both Abe and Glenn like snakes.

"What the he-!" Before Abe could finish, he and Glenn were pulled into the earth. They tried to grab onto something, anything to help them escape, but soon nothing was left.

"Glenn! Abe!" I shouted, and ran towards the spot where they had disappeared. I started to claw at the ground, trying to find them, but before I could continue I heard a low chuckle. I turned around, and saw some kind of demon floating in the air, and giving me a evil smile. The demon was made up of different animal body parts, and just by staring into his eyes had sent chills through my body, but I showed no fear, and stood tall. I glared at the demon, and readied myself for a fight. The demon gave one more chuckle, and snapped his fingers. Out of thin air my helmet had appeared in his hand, and he threw it to me.

"I think this is yours." He said. I didn't catch the helmet, and let it fall to the ground. He gave me a disappointed look. "Have you ever played catch?" He asked. I glared even harder.

"Shut up freak!" I growled. He did a dramatic gasped, and gave fake tears. Soon he disappeared, and left me confused, but soon I was lifted into the air, and heard a chilling voice behind me.

"It's not nice to call people names." He said, and chuckled. I tried to move my body, but it felt as if it was turned into stone. I struggled, and struggled, but it never worked. There was a loud yawn, and the creature appeared right in front of me. "It's no use you know, I have you in my grip." I snarled, and gave a death glare, but he only returned it with a cocky smile.

"Who, and what are you!?" I growled. He chuckled, and patted me on the head.

"Aren't you cute." He said. He laughed, and snapped his finger. I soon fell to the ground, and looked up to see him sitting on the dead Manticore. I rose to my feet, and clenched my fist with rage. He must have noticed this, and smiled as he crossed his legs, and rested his head on his hand. "Calm your self human, I'm not here to fight." He said.

"Bullshit! You just killed those men!" I shouted. He laughed, and snapped his fingers. Soon both Abe, and Glenn's heads popped our of the ground, and they both gasped for air.

"HOLY SHIT!!" Abe yelled.

"FUUUCK!" Glenn shouted. As I saw that they were both alive, I gave a sigh of relief, and chuckled.

"Thank god you two are alive, I would have had to carry all of the food back myself." I said.

"THAT'S ALL YOU CARED ABOUT?!" They shouted giving me dirty glares. I chuckled, and rubbed the back of my neck. Soon the creature cleared his throat, and spoke.

"Can we continue this conversation later? I wish to make this fast." He said. I looked to the creature.

"Who, and what are you?" I asked. He cracked a smile, and tilted his head sideways.

"You can just call me a friend." He said, and chuckled.

"A friend huh? What kind of friend?" I asked, and crossed my arms. His smile slowly turned into a wicked one as he gave a dark chuckle.

"A friend who want's the same goal as you." He said.

"You want to free humans?" I asked.

"Something like that, yes. Freeing humans is step one in my plan." He said, and snapped his fingers. Abe, and Glenn soon escaped the earth, and my helmet, and weapons appeared in front of my feet. I looked at him, and raised an eyebrow.

"What plan?" I asked. He shook his hand, and waved the question off.

"Doesn't matter right now, so just know that you have an ally inside of the Equestrian government." He snapped his fingers again, and a file cabinet appeared next to him. He opened the cabinet, and flipped through different folders until he stopped on a blue folder. He took the folder out, and handed it to me with a devilish smile. I was hesitant at first, but soon I reached for the folder, and took it. I opened the folder, and saw that it was a map of Equestria, and a road was circled, and labeled as, "The target". I turned the page, and saw a document, and a picture of a minotaur with black fur, and scars around his body. I looked to him, and gave a confused look.

"What's this?" I asked.

"Another ally that you may want to meet. Everything about him is in that folder, and if you want to find him you'll only have one chance, and that's in two days." He said.

"Wait, wait, wait, what's going on here?!" Abe asked.

"Yeah, who is this, and what's he talking about?" Glenn asked.

"Guys I don't fucking know! So calm down, and listen." I said. I looked to the creature, and smiled. "So, you say your an ally that is inside the Equestrian government, right?" I asked. He nodded. "Then this might be very useful. Alright, but know that I still don't trust you. If you fuck me over, I'll kill you. Got it?" I asked.

"Ooo, hostile huh? I like it." He said, and snapped his fingers. A backpack appeared in his hands, and he threw it to me. I caught the backpack, and opened it to see extra magazines off ammo, and a few medical supplies. I looked up at him with a surprised look.

"How did you get this stuff?" I asked.

"Well it was nothing really. Just wanted to give you a little gift is all." He said, and smiled. He soon yawned, and snapped his fingers. A portal instantly opened next to him, and he looked to me. "Well I guess that's all for now, so I'll be going now. I'm having tea with my dear friend Fluttershy, and I don't want to be late. So goodbye!" He said, and entered the portal, but before it closed he poked his head out. "Oh, before I go, may I have your name?" He asked.

"It's Delta." I said.

"Delta huh? Well Delta, I pray that you don't fail in reaching your goal. If you do fail then that means my plan won't work, so please don't die." He said, and disappeared. Everything was quiet once again, and we stood there trying to figure out what had happened.I looked to the folder of info, and smiled. I closed the folder, and looked to Abe, and Glenn.

"Alright boy's, lets get this food, and head back." I said, and walked towards the the dead Manticore.

"So we're just going to forget about this? We're not going to ask any questions about what that thing was, we're just going to get the food, and head back?" Abe asked.

"We'll talk about it later, so stop moaning about it, and finish this already." I said, and grabbed my knife. Abe was about to talk again, but Glenn sighed, and walked over to me.

"Come on, the faster we do this, the faster we can go home." Glenn said. Abe lowered his head, and sighed.

"Whatever." He mumbled, and joined us.

[Later on]

After we had gathered as much meat as we could, we started to head back to the cave, but as I was walking, I couldn't help but think about that strange creature. Why would he want to help me, and what was this plan he spoke of? I didn't like it one bit, but how he just snapped his fingers, and gave me this bag of ammo, and medical supplies got me thinking that we can gain new weapons, or tools that could help with our survival, and our road to victory. The information would be very helpful as well. Knowing military schedules and secrets, or having info about different slave owners, and large companies that keep the Equestrian government alive. With information like that things could be real easier.

I was pulled out of my thoughts once we reached the cave, and we climbed through the entrance. Once we were through, we covered the entrance, and began to walk through the dark cave. "Fuck, it's way to dark in here. We need to put up some torches." Abe complained. I looked to him with my night vision on, and chuckled.

"Oh it's not that bad, I can see fine." I said with a huge grin.

"Easy for you to say, you have that weird helmet to help you out." He said.

"Don't worry, we'll have a few torches placed in the cave later. Lets just get back to the tribe." Glenn said. Abe huffed, and was silent. Soon we reached a bright light, and entered the wide clearing filled with people. People were around the pond with friends, or family laughing, and just talking. Some were still working on a few huts made from sticks, and others were just sitting around. We walked into the clearing, and I looked over to see Lizzy walking towards us with a smile. I took off my helmet, and smiled back.

"Hey guys, you catch dinner?" She asked. Abe laughed, and held up a full bag of meat.

"Hell yeah!" He said with a large grin, and laughed. Glenn chuckled.

"We got some Manticore meat, so get ready for a feast.

"A Manticore? No wonder you guys look like crap." She said. We examined ourselves, and laughed as we saw ourselves. We were all covered in dirt, sweat, blood, and scratches. I rubbed the back of my neck, and chuckled.

"Yeah, that prick didn't go down without a fight." I said, and handed my bag of meat to Glenn. "Take this, I need to talk to Lizzy." I said. Glenn nodded, and took the bag. Abe, and Glenn walked away, and left me and Lizzy alone. She looked to me, and smiled.

"So, what's up?" She asked. My smile disappeared, and I replaced it with a more serious look. She saw this, and replaced her smile with a frown. "What now?"

"Well, I'm not sure really, but I think I met a new friend." I said, and pulled out the blue folder. "He gave me this, and I plan to inform everyone about this." I said. I gave her the folder, and she began to scan it. Soon she looked to me his an uneasy look.

"Delta, I'm not sure about this." She said. I nodded.

"I know how you feel, but we may have to trust this guy if we want to get anywhere." I said, and crossed my arms. "But I need to talk to your dad."

"Why?" She asked.

"If I can get him on my side, then everyone else should be on board." I said. "Where is he?" Lizzy looked around and groaned.

"Oh geez, he's over there." She said, and pointed to the edge of the room where three old men sat in a circle, laughing their asses off. "I thought they finished that stuff off." She mumbled.

"Finish what off?" I asked.

"Well a few weeks ago, a group of ponies lost a bunch of cargo filled with some strange liquids that made them really crazy, and stupid. I never tried it because I didn't want to look like a fool in front of everyone." She said. I thought for a moment, and smiled once I realized what she was talking about.

"They're drunk." I chuckled, and shook my head. Lizzy looked to me with confusion.

"Drunk, whats that?" She asked.

"What, you don't know what being drunk is?" I asked. She shook her head, and I only laughed.

"Whats so funny?" She asked a bit annoyed.

"Well lets just say being drunk is kinda fun, and hell, I wouldn't mind joining the,." I said, and walked towards the group of drunk men who were laughing, and shouting. I reached them, and smiled. "Hey guys, having fun?" I asked. Lizzy's father saw me, and stood up.

"Ah, my friend, and my tribes savior! Come, come, join us!" He said, and handed me a dirty bottle. I grabbed the bottle, and took a swig of the strong drink. I coughed a bit, and laughed as I felt the drink already kicking in.

"Holy shit, that stuffs ungodly strong." I chuckled. The men laughed, and I handed the man his drink back.

"So young man, what is it you want?" He asked.

"I actually need to talk to you alone." I said with a serious look. He seemed to understand, and nodded.

"Very well, can we be left alone?" He asked his drinking buddies. They nodded, and left us alone. I sat near him, and he took a sip of his drink. "So, what is it?" He asked.

"It's about my mission, and how you, and your tribe can help me complete it." I said.

"Oh? How can this tribe help you? Also, what is your mission?" He asked.

"Well my mission is to bring down the Equestrian government, and any other government that is an enemy of the human race." I said, but before I could say anything else, the old man just laughed.

"You, taking down a government?" He said, and laughed even harder. "And people call me crazy!" He shouted. He continued to laugh until he saw my stone like face, and stopped himself. "Your serious?"

"Yeah, and I need your help." I said. He shook his head, and sighed.

"My friend, you saved my tribe, and for that I am grateful, but what you are asking me is to send my children off to war. A war where the world his our enemy." He said.

"But don't you see, if we don't fight we'll just be hunted down until we die." I said. He nodded.

"If that is our fate, then so be it." He said.

"Chief listen to me, we need to fight. We need to create a world where our future children can embrace the world with open arms instead of shackled ones. Don't you want a real home, and don't you want your tribe to be free?" I asked with clenched fist, and anger. He sighed, and nodded.

"Of course I do, but fighting the world would just bring death to our tribe." He said.

"But not fighting will also bring death, or even worse fates for the men, women, and children." I said. The chief was silent, and only stared at the ground. "Chief, listen to me, if we fight we won't just save this tribe, but our entire race." I said. The chief took a sip of his drink, and looked to me.

"Why do you want to fight so bad?" He asked. I smiled, and leaned back onto the wall.

"It's my job to fight, simple as that." I said. The Chief chuckled, and sighed.

"Fine, we'll help you." He said, and looked around the room. "Wonder how the rest will feel about this." He muttered. I patted him on the shoulder, and rose to my feet.

"Hopefully they'll understand." I said. "When do you want to tell them?" I asked.

"In a few minutes, I want to get this over with." He said, and rose to his feet. "I'm going to gather my thoughts." He said, and walked away. I sighed, and looked to Lizzy who was walking towards me.

"So, what did he say?" She asked.

"He's in, and he's going to tell everyone soon." I said.

"How soon?" She asked, but before I could answer her I was interrupted by the chiefs voice.

"Gather around everyone, gather around! I have urgent news!" He shouted on top of a large rock.

"Huh, thought he was gathering his thoughts." I said, and shrugged. "Oh well, he said he wanted to get this over with so, whatever." I said. Lizzy sighed, rolled her eyes.

"Great." She mumbled, and walked towards the group of gathered people. I shortly followed her, but I didn't join the group, and instead joined the chief on the rock. We waited until everyone was gathered, and I looked to the chief.

"So, you want t kick this off, or do you want me to?" I asked. He smiled, and waved me off.

"I'll start." He said, and looked to the crowd.

"What's going of chief?" A man asked.

"Is something wrong?" A women asked.

"Do you want more of that crazy juice?" Another women asked. The chief shook his head, and waved at the crowd to calm down.

"Listen to me, listen, what I'm going to tell you all will start a new path for our tribe." He said, and sighed. "For as long as I could remember we've been hunted, murdered, and enslaved by nearly every race that lives on this world. Why? I don't know why. Maybe it was because of our ancestors, or maybe it's because they enjoy watching our race suffer. I watched family, friends, and even my beloved wife fall victim to the other races, and they're vile acts, and I never fought back. I never fought for my tribe, I never fought for my family and friends, and I never fought for... I never fought for others. I hid." He said with shame, and clenched his fist. "None of us have fought, we only ran, and prayed for a lucky break, but the lucky break never came. So, I have chosen a new path, and the very warrior who saved us will help us on that path." He said, and gestured to me with a smile. "I have decided that now is the time we fought." He said. The entire crowd only stared in a mix of confusion, and shock as the chief finished his decision. Soon, a man spoke.

"You mean, you want us to fight the other races?" He asked. The chief nodded.

"That's insane!" Another man shouted.

"But he's right, we can't just run." A women said.

"Yeah, hiding won't work forever. Soon we'll be another slave to the other races." A man said.

"Yeah, besides, I'm getting tired of hiding from those ponies." Abe said with a grin. The group was soon a cluster of people approving about the decision, or disagreeing about it. Getting annoyed, I cleared my throat, and spoke.

"Everyone, everyone, calm down! Now I know some of you are unsure about this, but know that we have many advantages that will aid us in our fight." I said.

"Like what?" A man asked. I pulled out the folders filled with information, and raised it into the air to show everyone.

"This holds information about a group of ponies of the Equestrian government that are very close with the princesses of Equestria, and I plan to pay each one of them a visit. My first target will be Applejack, a owner of a apple farm, and a owner of fifty slaves." I said, and showed them the picture of the orange pony with slaves lined up behind her. "I want to burn this place to the ground, and rescue the slaves." I said.

"Well that sounds good and all, but most humans have been brained washed into mindless slaves. They don't know anything else but following orders." Glenn said. "It's sad, but it's the truth."

"Well we'll still save them no matter what. Besides, this pony is my main target." I said. He shrugged.

"Just saying, saving brainwashed humans will be a waste of time, and effort, but I do want to take down this slave owner. So I'm with ya." He said. People began to mummer some things, and soon the chief spoke.

"So, what say you all? Shall we fight, or shall we hide?" He asked. No one spoke a word for what felt like hours, and I could see some of the hesitation in the faces of the people. But soon Lizzy walked through the crowd, and spoke.

"I want a real home. A place where I can live out my life, have a family, raise my children, and die happily knowing that my children, and their children will have better lives than me. So if I have to fight an entire world to make that happen, then so be it." She said with a determined look in her eyes. I smiled, and looked around the crowd to see the hesitation from the crowd slowly disappear. Soon a man spoke.

"Fine, lets fight these bastards!" He shouted, and shot his fist into the air. Soon a wave people raised their fist, and shouted in agreement. I looked around the crowd, and chuckled as the sight of a new force was born. I looked to Lizzy, and nodded. She nodded back, and shot her fist into the air, joining the crowd. I looked to the Chief.

"Guess it's time to change our fates, huh?" I asked. He chuckled, and nodded.

"Yes, it's time to follow a new path." He said. I patted him on the back, and walked off of the rock. I looked to a hut, and saw a struggling Spike. I smiled, and walked towards the hut. He saw me, and fear covered his face like a mask as he struggled even harder. I reached the hut, and knelt down next to him.

"Hey there buddy, wanna have some fun?" I asked, and gave a evil smile.

[Ponyville]

Twilight sat in the middle of the library sobbing, and surrounded by her friends who attempted to comfort her. Tears filled the girls eyes, but they choked back the urge to join Twilight's sobbing, and comforted her. "How can that monster take such an innocent child who hasn't even done anything to him. Humans are nothing but beast!" Rarity said, and wiped away a tear that had escaped her eye. Rainbow Dash clenched her fist, and huffed.

"He's a coward!" She growled. Applejack nodded.

"Ya got that right. Only gutless varmints would do this." Applejack said.

"How are we going to get Spike back?" Fluttershy asked.

"We have to go, and get him!" Rainbow Dash said. Twilight shook her head, and sniffed.

"No Rainbow Dash, he'll kill him before we could reach him. We have no choice but to do as he says, and pray that Spike will come back to us once this is all over." Twilight said.

"But how long will that be, we need to get him now!" Rainbow Dash said. Twilight only looked to the floor, and clenched her fist.

"Please, Rainbow Dash, please just listen to me. I don't want Spike to get hurt! Please!" She pleaded through clenched teeth, and tears flowing down her face, and onto the floor. Rainbow Dash wanted to protest, but Fluttershy placed her hand onto Rainbow Dashes shoulder, and shook her head. Soon Applejack spoke.

"She's right RD, we can't take the chance. I hate it as much as you do, but the only thing we can do is pray that he'll come back." Applejack said. Rainbow Dash sighed, and lowered her head in defeat.

"Maybe the royal guards will find them, and bring back Spike." Pinkie Pie said trying to bring a little hope.

"Yes, I'm sure those trained soldiers can track down one human." Rarity said.

"I hope so Rarity, I hope so." Twilight said, and sighed. "Look girls, thank you for being here for me, but I just want to be left alone right now." She said. The others looked at each other, and soon they all nodded.

"Alright Twi, we'll leave ya be for a bit." Applejack said, and began to walk towards the front door with the rest of the girls following her.

"We'll come back later to check on you." Pinkie Pie said. Twilight nodded, and the girls left the library. Everyone went their separate ways, but as they left each other, Rainbow Dash clenched her fist, and bit her lip.

"Sorry girls, but I can't just sit here and wait. I'll bring back Spike, and the human in chains." She said to herself, shot into the air, and changed her direction towards the Everfree forest.

Author's Note

Hey guys, hope you enjoyed the chapter. Sorry that it took me a while to update my stories, but I've just been kinda lazy. Like, really, really lazy. But I promise another update will come soon.

Anyways, have a good day, or night!
