Chapter three. Meet the ponies.

"FUS RO DAH!" the dragonborn's shout could heard all throughout Ponyville. It shattered the windows of several homes and gave some unlucky ponies a free flying lesson including Twilight Sparkle. Heavy and Carmine were not spared by the sudden shout heard from behind them and were launched several feet through the air before they could take a proper look at their enemy.

"Wooooahh!" Heavy crashed further into town but not before safely embracing Sasha tightly around his arms to protect it. He landed butt first.

Carmine on the other hand was launched a different direction and crashed into a garbage can filled with half eaten sweets. He quickly pulled himself back up and started yelling. "WHAT THE FUCK MAN!? How about you warn me next time you use that shit!" he jumped out the dumpster and headed back to Ulfgar.

"Intimidation is the first step towards conquering an unknown enemy. Besides, I couldnt let you have all the fun with those loud dwemer metals." the dovakhiin grinned. Carmine facepalmed.

"Why the hell isnt anyone shooting back at us?" The COG soldier was confused.

"They must've cowered before the might of my thu'um." Ulfgar replied.

They both started heading towards the unknown town and noticed a large sign right before the entrance.

Welcome to Ponyville!

The happiest place in Equestria!

"Ponyville! what the hell? Does that name sound weird to you Ulfy?"

"Dont call me Ulfy..And yes, it seems rather strange."

Heavy had meanwhile gotten back up, not even questioning what just happened. He was gently rubbing of the dirt of his mini-gun. "Shh shh, baby do not cry. Heavy is here." After the Russian finished cleaning Sasha he headed further in the enemies stronghold. He noticed a purple blur on the ground not to far from him. Meanwhile he could hear the screams of the inhabitants and the sound of slamming doors further in town. Didnt really bother him. Heavy walked towards the strange bright colored creature on the ground. It was unconscious.

"Is definitly not chicken. COMRADES! come quick!" Heavy signalled Carmine and Ulfgar to come.

"Oh my god. Look at how cute that thing is!" Carmine started poking the small creature. "Look! it even has a little tattoo, and whats this?" He brushed its mane aside which revealed a small horn much to Ulfgar's interest.

"By the gods, I was told stories of unicorns as a child. I thought they were just legends! but so I thought of the dragons." The dovakhiin carefully touched the unicorns horn. "The legends say unicorns are majestic spiral-horned horses, capable of deploying powerful magic."

"Judging from the sign we just passed im pretty sure its a pony. A pony-corn if you will." Carmine joked as he continued poking the creature.

"So we crush little pony?" The russian asked.

"No. Or atleast not yet. My honor will not allow me to strike down a defenseless creature. Besides, im curious to see what it's capable off. There must be more around. Keep your guard up." The dragonborn unsheathed his greatsword.

"Oh come on! whats the worst thing these cute little ponies can do to us? Assault us with candy and happy songs?" Carmine wasn't worried. Ulfgar decided to agree and resheathed his blade.

"I will find little pony that kicked me in face, then squash it like bug!" Heavy said as his nose had stopped bleeding, but some remained on his face.

"Easy now Heavy, maybe its all a big misunderstanding. We should atleast look for someone to talk to and understand whats going on. I say we go..." Carmine was interupted by a blue blur that kicked him in the head with extreme speed.

"ALWAYS THE FUCKING HEAD! WHAT THE FUCK?" though he barely lost his balance it got him slightly annoyed.

"IS BLU SCOUT YAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Heavy weapons guy started revving up his mini-gun and launched a barrage of bullets towards the blue speedster. It carefully dodged the deadly incoming projectiles while skillfully gliding through the air. The bullets kept missing target but penetrated through a nearby building and some trees. *CLICK CLICK CLICK* Out of ammo. Heavy had two more belts of ammo strapped around him so no problems yet. Although reloading would take him a while. The blue creature now stopped in mid-air revealing itself to be a similair pony like the unconscious one on the ground. Only instead of having a horn it had two feathered wings and had a rainbow-like mane. It spoke.

"You leave Twilight alone you big bullies!" Ulfgar and Carmine looked at each other in confusion, then pulled Heavy away from reloading Sasha. He now realized he wasnt firing at the BLU scout but at a small pony instead. Heavy grunted. The trio started forming a think-tank.

"Okay, we're certain these ponies can talk now, and appereantly fly, cast magic and create buildings. But they dont seem really dangerous do they?" Carmine said.

"Aye, but the flying one shows great courage by facing us." Ulfgar replied.

Heavy was unsure on what to do. He was not used to being in non-life threatening situations as he constantly fought with the most dangerous people on earth on a daily basis. Destroying the BLU team is all he knows and remembers. But these ponies arent like the BLU. They appeared weak and inferior compared to them. Would killing them soothe his bloodlust? The Russian was unsure.

"Do we crush blue pony?"

"Nah, I think we scared them enough as it is." Carmine answered.

"What are you monsters conspiring about! you scared of me huh? Put em up!" the rainbow-maned pony yelled as she took a boxing pose. Carmine stepped forward as he threw down his lancer.

"Uhh...We come in peace I guess?"

"What?! then why are you destroying our town?"

"We didnt destroy anyth...." Carmine stopped and took sight of the shattered windows at several houses, the building Heavy had hit with his mini-gun was completly destroyed. "Oh."

"And why are you trying to eat Twilight!" the winged pony pointed her hoof at the unconscious purple unicorn.

"Twilight? We werent gonna eat a freaking pony. Look... We're stranded here and looking for a way out. Thats all."

"I dont believe you!" the blue pony shouted still in a defensive pose. More ponies started to gather as they observed the three strange creatures among them.

"These ruffians must be stopped at once!" A white unicorn with an elegant purple mane broke the silence.

"They'd better not be messin' with Twi over there." Another pony wearing a cowboy hat said.

"Yeah!" a last completly pink pony shouted in a high-pitched voice.

Heavy started growing more annoyed by the second as he was the centre of attention for these puny creatures. Carmine and Ulfgar remained calm. They both realised that if they were going to get out of here, they needed help. And they'll take any help they can get, so first priority was changed to befriend this town of talking ponies. Carmine picked up the unconscious unicorn.

"You let her go right now!" the blue winged pony rushed towards Carmine at full speed but was stopped by the dovakhiin midway as he grabbed her hindleg. She struggled to escape his grip, bucked him a few times which did not budge Ulfgar's iron armor in the slightest. Meanwhile Carmine continued to approach the handful of ponies that had gathered around them with the unicorn in his arms. The ponies had worried looks on their faces as they saw the giant two-legged creature with the words 'Grub Killer' on his armor approach them. The pony wearing a cowboy hat now also started getting in a more defensive position.

Carmine was right infront of group now. They werent able to read any expression on its helmet-covered face. Just two blue dots shining brightly where they had guessed his eyes would be. He then proceeded to kneel down and gently place the unicorn before them.

"Look, im sorry we made a bad first impression." Carmine raised his hand signalling Ulfgar to release the blue pony. The dovakhiin did so and received a rainbow tail to the face as she immediatly rushed at the COG soldier once again and bucked him right in the helmet. He didnt budge this time as he stared the blue pony down.

"Would you kindly stop doing that please." Carmine rose up to his feet again towering over the small ponies. "Like I said, we're just here looking for a way home." The orange pony looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"Ah can tell yer telling the truth, but can ya tell me why Twilight's out cold then?" She asked. The dovakhiin now also joined Carmine next to the ponies.

"Aye, that would be my fault. We had thought to encounter demonic creatures of some kind. So with the power of the thu'um I..." Carmine interupted him.

"Yeah, basicly this guy doesnt know his own strength and blew her away. We're truly sorry for what happened and we'll do whatever we can to make up for it."

"Well ah guess we can forgive ya'll if Twi's alright. And ya'll fix the damage ya did. Anyway, im Applejack!" the orange pony held out her hoof.

"Apple...jack? What a weird name!" the COG soldier couldnt help but chuckle but proceeded to awkwardly shake her hoof. "Im Carmine, this here is Ulfgar and the big grumpy guy over there is Heavy." Applejack frowned.

"Ya say mah name's weird but what about yours."

"Hmm. I guess they are pretty weird."

"Anyway, these here are my friends. Thats Pinkie Pie."

"HI!" the pink pony had a large smile on her face.

"An' this here is Rarity."

"Charmed." The white unicorn spoke as if she was royalty.

"The pegasus over there is Rainbow Dash."

"Im still keeping my eye on you buddy!" she snorted.

"And last we have Flutte...Fluttershy where the hay you at!" Applejack left the group for a moment to search for the missing pony. She eventually ended up pulling up a cream-colored pegasus with long pink manes from a bush. Applejack started scolding her.

"Ya shouldnt be out here hiding, Twilight might need your help!"

"Oh yes...its just that...its really scary and...ill just wait here untill its over... if thats okay?" Fluttershy responded with a soft timid voice.

"But yer so good with animals. Ya should know something about those guys."

"I...I dont think those are animals."

Applejack frowned and turned at Carmine again. "Hey! what are ya'll guys anyway?" The COG soldier had meanwhile started a conversation with the pony known as Pinkie Pie.

"And thats how Equestria was made!" she chirped happily.

"What? You just told me about some rock farm and rainbows!" Carmine said confused. Applejack facehooved and turned to the cowering pegasus again.

"Listen Fluttershy, ah know yer scared but ya gotta keep yer head high an' help Twilight right away. Im sure these fellas wont hurt anypony."

"Oh... but well I...just dont think I can do it...its just to sca...*CLANK* EEP!" Fluttershy was startled as Heavy suddenly appeared before her and Applejack, dropping his weapon Sasha which was still larger then a single pony.

"Little pony. You are scared? Of Heavy and Sasha? Little pony should not be scared. Be strong and crush enemies. What is ponies name?" He asked with a serious tone.

"Umm.. its Fluttersh...."

"I can not hear you little one."

"Flutt.....mmhmhmm."

"...One more time?"

"Flummmmhmhmmiii........"

"WHAT! WHAT IS NAME! TELL ME NOW!" Heavy's sudden outburst caused Fluttershy to freeze up like one of those weird fainting goats. Applejack tried to comfort her, but in vain. She now faced the giant Russian.

"Ah'm mighty sorry for that. Her name's Fluttershy and well...as ya can guess she's really shy. But ya could've not startled her like that." Applejack said to Heavy as he started grinning.

"Little hat pony talks like Engineer"

"Whadda'ya mean ah talk like an engineer?"

"Njet. Like comrade Engineer."

"Look here, ah don't know what fancy accent yer talking with, but ah cant understand a single darn yer saying. OH HORSEAPPLES!" Applejack then suddenly remembered Twilight was still unconscious. Without thinking she left the fainted Fluttershy alone with the largest of the three creatures as she rushed back to the rest of her friends and the two strange creatures.

The Russian looked down on the small pegasus on the ground. All he could think of was killing it. Kill everyone, including his companions. As long he could kill something. Even though he had only been in this strange world for a couple of hours. He lusted for blood and battle. In his mind he knew it would be wrong. To murder a being that wouldnt even be able to defend itself. But mind and body do not always cooperate. Heavy kneeled down, raised both his arms and reached out to Fluttershy's neck.

____________________________

Slightly earlier.

Meanwhile Rarity had been insulting the two other humans attire and Pinkie Pie was happily bouncing up and down happy to meet new 'ponies'. Rainbow Dash sat on a cloud and continued observing the humans every move. Twilight Sparkle was moved from the ground to a more comfortable place on a bench by Carmine. Applejack returned to the group and approached the COG soldier.

"Ya guys have to help us. Our first-aid pony is ... well not available. We need to take Twilight to a hospital." Applejack asked worried. Carmine just nodded and headed to pick up the unconscious unicorn once again. On his way he was stopped by Ulfgar.

"Allow me." the dovakhiin placed his hands above Twilights head as a bright orange ball of magic appeared. He continued holding it close to her for half a minute as scratches and bruises started to dissapear and her eyes slowly started opening.

"Ya weird creatures can use magic as well?" Applejack asked.

"Nope, atleast not where im from. But the people in his homeland do." Carmine responded.

"Ya'll aint from the same place?"

"Nah, we're all from a different world actually. We dont even know each other. We just woke up here a few hours ago."

"Then if ah may ask...What are ya'll exactly?"

"I guess we're humans. But if you want to get technical Im Seran, Ulfgar mentioned at least three-thousand times he's a Nord from Skyrim. And I think Heavy said he was from some planet called Russia."

"Well ah aint never heard of them places before."

"Figures."

Twilight had finally opened her eyes but was still looking groggy. "Oh Princess Celestia, I really like your mane." Little did she know she was not facing the sun princess, but a deadly dovakhiin instead. Her vision became more clear after a while. Her eyes immediatly widened as she saw Ulfgar stare right in her eyes. "M-m-monster!" Twilight jumped up and started sprinting. She crashed aproximatly two seconds later into Carmine's legs.

"Woah! easy there horsey."

"It talked! oh what do I do. What do I do!" the unicorn continued panicking. "Applejack what are you standing there for! HELP!"

"Uh Twilight, they said they were sorry. And uhm...Golfcar over there patched ya back up with some fancy magic."

"For the last time its Ulfgar!" the dragonborn shouted.

"Yeah what he said. Besides, they promised to fix everything."

"Really...? But then why are they here? Why have we seen or heard anything about this species before? And what was that shockwave?"

"Ah dunno, they just said they were lost an needed some help. They aint from Equestria thats for sure."

"They're not from Equestria? Then how did they get here?"

"Jeez Twilight, ah have no idea. Ask em yerself." Twilight nervously started heading to the dovakhiin.

"Mister...Wolfjar is it? My friend told me you had healed my injuries with magic. I just wanted to thank you for that. And if you dont mind can I ask a few questions?" Twilight smiled awkwardly. Ulfgar grunted and sat down on the bench intensely staring at the unicorn's horn.

"Only if I can ask you a question afterwards."

"Ofcourse you can! First of all. Can you telll me where you're from and how you got here." She lifted a scroll and quill with magic.

"I come from a great land named Skyrim. I died by the flames left by some mad Daedric prince. Then I woke up here with the ones named Carmine and Heavy. They also come from different realms. Thats all I can tell."

"Wait. Did you just say you died?"

"Aye..." The dovakhiin looked up to the sky for a few seconds before answering. Twilight would normally assume he was crazy. But she saw sadness in his eyes and was willing to try and understand his situation.

"So you wanted to ask me a question as well?"

"Aye...Tell me, does a unicorns magic come from within? or is it all compressed in the horn."

"What do you mean?"

"What im saying is...Is the pony magical, or the horn?" He asked with a wicked grin.

"Oh...well I cant be bothered to explain the fine details. But basicly. A unicorn without its horn cant cast magic. And lets say, an earthpony WITH a horn wont be able to either. So to answer your question. The horn is useless without the unicorn. Why would you ask such a strange question?"

"Oh no reason..." The dovakhiin seemed slightly dissapointed. Carmine now also joined Twilight and Ulfgar to answer some of her questions.

"By the way Ulfy. Have you seen Heavy?" he asked the dovakhiin.

"No. not since after the blue one attacked us."

"Hmm then where could h..." Carmine was interupted by a loud scream.

"Fluttershy!" Twilight panicked again when she heard her friends voice. Carmine and Ulfgar looked at each other and were expecting the worst. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were the first heading back to where they heard the screaming. Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Twilight were to next to arrive at the scene followed by Ulfgar and Carmine. They encountered something much more horrible then they could ever imagine.

"Nooo.. please stop!" they heard Fluttershy's soft and sweet voice.

"Njet." Heavy was chuckling like a madmen.

"Noo! please! I cant take it anym..haha....hahahahah!" her screams of fear suddenly started forming into laughter.

"DA! LITTLE PONY LIKES TO BE TICKLED!" Heavy laughed as he continued tickling the pony.

"Nooo! please stop..hahaha...haha!" she started slamming her front hooves to the ground with tears of laughter in her eyes.

"Njet! now is little pony not scared?"

Noooo! please! I'm not scared at all anymore, just please stop!" Heavy stopped and went to retrieve Sasha.

"Now little pony not scared. Is much better to me."

"You dont have to call me little pony...you can just call me Fluttershy...if thats okay with you."

"Da! Is shy little Flutterpony!"

The group of humans and ponies that just arrived looked at the scene with their jaws dropped to the ground. Wasnt quitte what they had expected. Ulfgar wanted to break the silence.

"We should really start looking fo..." now the dovakhiin was interupted.

"STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!" an unknown voice approached.

"Oh by the gods! not again!" Ulfgar expected seeing another Hold Guard. He wasnt sure if he was happy or confused when a group of fifteen pegasi dressed in golden armor landed before them instead. The pegasi pulled three large carriages.

"Your presence in Equestria have not gone unnoticed. Under direct orders of the Princess you are hereby required to stand before her in Canterlot Castle immediatly. If you decline, know that we have been ordered to use force if neccesary." The largest pegasus stated.

Heavy, Ulfgar and Carmine stared blanky at each other for a second before bursting out into more laughter. "Is this guy serious? What force? You gonna crush us in a mini-stampede?" The trio kept laughing out loud, much to the Royal guards annoyance. Applejack decided to shut them up as she raised her voice.

"HUSH! ya'll guys listen, if ya go to the princess and tell her what ya told me. She might be able to send ya'll guys home. She's the most powerful magic user in all of Equestria." Applejack said and Twilight nodded in agreement.

"Are you sure we wont be banished or imprisoned or something.? You know...because we like...destroyed some things..." Carmine asked.

"How can you say such a thing! the princess is a wonderful leader and can see the good that resides in every-pony. I'm certain she'll do whatever she can to help." Twilight seemed rather protective towards the princess. Carmine looked at Ulfgar who immediatly agreed as he wanted to return to Skyrim rather today then tomorrow. Heavy was happy he made friends with Fluttershy, but knew going to the castle would be better for the team. Carmine nodded.

"Then off to the pony princess!" all three humans seperatly entered a carriage as they rose up to the sky carried by the pegasi royal guards.

"Now wait just a goshdarn minute. They aint fixed the damage they all caused! come back ya slackers!" Applejack shook her hoof around in frustration while shouting.

"And I didnt get to know what color balloons they'd like on their Welcome to Ponyville party!" Pinkie seemed sad.

"I dont think those weirdos like parties Pinkie...They still seem kind of like they have a few screws loose to be honest." Rainbow Dash told her.

"Certainly the next time we meet, something must be done about those DREADFUL outfits. I will not allow these crimes of fashion to carelessly wander around Equestria." Rarity was clearly disgusted by all three human's attire.

"Oh...I uhmm... think they look really scary...but I dont think they're bad ponies or hewmans...I think..." Fluttershy peeped.

"Well...Whatever is gonna happen. Its in the princess's hooves now." Twilight Sparkle took one last look at the carriages in the distance.

______________________________

Lyra had just had a hard day at work in Canterlot. She was constantly being ridiculed by other ponies because of her wild theories of creatures called 'humans' who had claw like hooves and walked on their hindlegs that resided in dimensions surrounding their world. No one would believe her EVER, but she was determined to proof this to all of Equestria. Just not today. Today she was just gonna enjoy a warm bath and sleep for a good twelve hours as her morning and afternoon proved to be stressfull enough this day. She took the same path as always. As she passed the 'Welcome to Ponyville' sign she noticed Twilight Sparkle and her friends. Lyra didnt bother to approach the mane six seemingly having an interesting conversation. Nope. Just a warm bath, then bed. Thats all.

"......Why is my house blown up?"

Chapter four. Good or Evil.

"How long has it been... I dont even remember. Days became weeks. Weeks became months and the months became years, locked up in a strange world. The pony named Twilight Sparkle...She told me about their leader, Princess Celestia. A supposedly incredible powerful 'Alicorn' who was the definition of goodness. But it couldnt be more false. Even Colonel Hoffman seemed like a wuss next to her. She was a tyrannical dictator that would if things didnt go her way, she would execute you on the spot. Me, Ulfgar and Heavy had been spared this faith. But even since that faithful day we've been locked up here in this dark dungeon. Shackled to the walls, surrounded in darkness. These murderous, psycho ponies would only feed us the remains of I can guess to be rotten rat corpses. Still better then the what we ate in the war though. I can still hear the screams of fear and agony echo through the thick dungeon walls. These brutes... They're torturing more innocent ponies! how can they be this cruel? Will it ever stop? Will I ever taste delicious bacon again? And what about my.."

"Can you please shut up?" The dovakhiin interupted the COG soldier as he stared at him awkwardly.

"Shut up man, I'm just getting to the good part." Carmine answered.

"Yes...uhh...And will I ever hold my puppy Spot again. How many years has it been now? He must be a big d..."

"FOR TALOS SAKE! we've only been here for twenty minutes!" Ulfgar interupted him once again and was incredibly annoyed. Carmine just continued.

"The darkness...It's changed me. I cant even remember what daylight looks. I havent seen the sun since the day I was dragged to this accursed pla..."

"WE'RE NOT EVEN IN A BLOODY DUNGEON, ITS A GUEST CHAMBER! THERE'S A WINDOW RIGHT THERE!" the dragonborn shouted.

"And...uhh..uhhm........"

"Well thanks alot Ulfgar. You ruined my inner monologue." Carmine finally stopped. "Are you happy now?"

"Yes. YES! if you finally keep your mouth closed. By the gods, how do you come up with such nonsense!" Ulfgar finally calmed down.

"Dunno, im just bored since we just spend an hour on that stupid carriage and almost another half hour here." Carmine answered.

"I do not like it here. Tiny golden ponies try and take Sasha from me." Heavy sat on a chair this whole time, tightly gripping his mini-gun.

The truth is the three humans arrived here in Canterlot just a while ago. They were escorted by the Royal Guard to the Castle but through specific closed off paths blocking any interaction with the civilians. Most likely because they were scary looking they guessed.

When they had arrived at the castle, the guards nicely asked the if the humans could hand over their weapons just as a standard procedure to ensure the safety of the princess. The humans obviously declined, and the guards decided not to ask further when Heavy started spouting dangerous sounding insults in his native tongue. The trio was now awaiting an audience with the ruler of Equestria herself. Princess Celestia.

"You may enter now." One of the Royal Guards then led them to the royal chambers where the trio of humans stood eye-to-eye with Princess Celestia. They could tell right away as her appearance seemed fitting hold such an important title. She was atleast twice as large nearly anypony they'd met untill now, yet still slightly smaller then the humans. Her body was of a bright snow-white color. She had a long elegant multi-colored mane and tail that seemed to wave naturally. Her eyes looked kind, thoughtful and honest. She was accompanied by another dark blue-shaded pony. Much smaller. She also had a mane, dark as the night, that seemed to have a life on it own. She seemed absent. The dovakhiin was amazed these ponies had both wings and magical horns. The guard that escorted the humans in now left, the chamber was empty. Just three humans and two royal ponies remained.

"Alright guys, let me do the talking." Carmine stepped away from the group and towards the sun princess. "Sup." he said.

The blue pony suddenly jumped up and started shouting. "Thou dare speaketh common tongue to royalty! how admirable, but foolish!"

"Woah, chill out man. I have no idea what the hell is even going on."

"Are you not aware that you face the princesses of both the sun and the moon!"

"Yeah... moon?, I was told vaguely I guess, im sorry."

"Thou should learn and respect your..." The blue pony was stopped by Princess Celestia.

"Please Luna, lets not make this an unpleasant meeting." The white alicorn whom Twilight Sparkled praised so much spoke in a sweet and trustworthy voice. She rose up from her throne and approached the humans. "Tell me, what brings three strange talking creatures to our land?"

"We didnt just come here, we uhh...just woke up here today."

"He's lying sister!" Luna shouted.

"You should tell us the truth. Then we might be able to help you." Celestia was calm.

"Well uhh...okay, but you're probably gonna think we're crazy. But we all uhh...kinda died and then really just woke up here." Carmine realised how ridiculous it sounded.

"Njet, I did not die. I was taken." Heavy suddenly stepped in.

"What? and you didnt tell us that?" The COG soldier was shocked.

"You did not ask, but there was strange monster. That is all I remember. It went to fast." The Russian responded.

"Could it have been the same Daedric Prince that was responsible for my death?" The dovakhiin now also joined the conversation. "Carmine, how did you die?"

"....I uhh...dont remember." He looked away.

"It seems to me you're having trouble explaining to me what has happened. Luckily I know just the thing for that. Could you three please step forward?" Celestia smiled genuinely.

The three humans stepped forward without hesitation. The sun princess approached them as her horn started glowing bright yellow.

The princess now wandered through the three humans minds, revealing their past events. She immediatly felt sick when she saw Carmine and more humans around him fight horrible mutated monsters. The corpses of other humans reduced to ashen statues by their own weapons. She saw the endless amounts of death in a nearly destroyed planet. Celestia felt disgusted. But next to all the slaughter and destruction caused by Carmine, she saw him with his brothers as a loving family together. Only to be torn apart by more death.

In Ulfgar's mind she saw him fighting bandits, swatting them down like flies without any remorse. There were dragons, more ferocious looking then Celestia had ever seen. She saw the human use strange magic commanded by his voice to help him in battle, where he would slay countless of dragons. The sun princess saw some good in him as she saw the Nords of Skyrim cheering for him after his victory on Alduin. He then declared himself to be the protector of Skyrim and serve no king, no leader. But just the land and its people.

In Heavy's mind there was nothing but death. And not just any deaths. He was burned, blown to bits, shot, decapitated and all his bones crushed when he fell of a cliff. Only just to be rebuild again in thirty seconds and die again. The pain was real, the princess couldnt imagine living in this mad world. She saw the Russian murder as well. Countless of times, he destroyed atleast nine other humans in just a few seconds on some occasions. And he truly enjoyed it. Celestia was unable to dig further in his mind from when before he joined the RED, it was mysteriously blocked. But she attempted to find some goodness in the Russian. He was extremely loyal to his team and often took the hits for them. Literally, they shot like a million bullets at him.

But Celestia was no fool. She knew better then anyone that it would be to dangerous to leave these three extremely violent creatures roam free around their world. They would have to be dealt with. The Moon was an option. She dug further in their minds revealing the moments just before they entered Equestria. Celestia was shocked when she saw the responsible one.

"Discord." She stopped her magic and faced Luna. "Sister, this is an emergency. Go and see if Discord is still in place." Luna frowned and decided to not use her traditional royal canterlot voice.

"But Tia, he's sealed in stone, what is there to be found?"

"Please Luna go, I'm certain he is the cause of our human arrivals. See if there's anything odd and then return at once. I can handle things here." Celestia spoke more serious then ever. Luna decided to trust her sister and left her alone with the three armed man.

The humans looked each other in the eyes and noticed the tension had changed. Celestia seemed 'darker' as she glared at the trio with an angry look.

"I will not allow you to hurt my little ponies." She stated bluntly.

"Woah, whats with the sudden change, you were super nice two minutes ago." Carmine responded.

"When the life of my ponies are at stake, it calls for drastic measures. You three are the most violent minds I have ever encountered. And leaving you here can only lead to disaster. Im sorry, but banishment is the only option."

Ulfgar unsheathed his greatsword. "Now listen here pony princess, my people. MY PEOPLE! they await my return, for I had sworn to protect them as long as I'm able. We came here with the knowledge of you being a more then capable sorceress. And that you'd be able to return us home."

"Who told you that?" Celestia asked.

"A fair mare named Twilight Sparkle and her friends." The dovakhiin answered.

"So you've met the elements? Still, the safety of Equestria goes first. Im sorry it had to come to his."

"Know that we wont go down without a fight!" Ulfgar pointed his sword at Celestia. She then used her magic to push the three humans to the ground with invisible force. Heavy lost grip of Sasha and Carmine dropped his Lancer. The dovakiin held on to his blade with all his might. Heavy then enraged because of losing Sasha, through pure strength and willpower he was able to crush through the princess's magic. Celestia got distracted and lost focus for a second so that Carmine and Ulfgar were now also escaping her grip. Carmine carefully rolled behind cover after retrieving his weapon. Heavy picked up Sasha but was then distracted by a noise. Ulfgar faced off with the princes, he saw her horn glow yellow again and assumed she was casting another powerful spell.

"TIID KLO ULL!" the dovakhiin shouted TIME SAND ETERNITY in the dragon language. Time slowed around him and everything was nearly completely motionless. He slowly walked up to the princess with the blade in his right hand. He then proceeded to gently place it against her neck as the flow of time started to go back to normal. To ensure his safety he held her horn with his left hand. Celestia was dumbstruck when she saw the human had suddenly captured her in within the blink of an eye. With a sword to her neck and a human in control of her horn she feared the worst.

Luna entered the dungeon where they had sealed Discord, they removed him from the garden to a more supervised place within the Castle walls. It was a small underground dungeon specifically made for the draconequus. The stone statue that they placed there ever since the elements of harmony defeated him still remained.

"Maybe sister was wrong then." Luna approached the statue. She stared at it for a few minutes when something seemed odd. It looked as if the statue...was winking? The moon princess tapped on its face three times. The statue suddenly crumbled into dust before her. Luna was shocked. It looked like there was something among the pile of debris. A note.

Dear Celestia

The next time you seal me, please put a little more effort into it.
Seriously, this is like the second time I can just walk straight out of here.
You really got to do something about security.

Sincerely
Your pal Discord.

Luna was confused, how did he escape so easily, how long was he even gone. All she could think of right now was to let her sister know of this. She immediatly started running back up the stairs towards upper ground but was suddenly interupted by an extremely large bang which seemed to shake the entire castle. Luna crashed down the stairs.

"Was that an earthquake?"

A bit earlier

Ulfgar still had the Princess in her grip. He kept asking Celestia for a way home.

"You don't understand, as long as Discord roams free. You wont be able to return home. Kill me if you must, but I beg of you please dont hurt any of my little ponies." Celestia was in tears.

"You started attacking us!" Carmine shouted.

"DA! is little pony princess mad?" Heavy said.

"But...you were send here by Discord to spread chaos?" Celestia asked confused.

"We were send unwillingly, and we serve under no one. And if this Discord fellow is the one standing between me and the lands of Skyrim. Consider him already dead." Ulfgar released the blade from Celestia's neck but kept holding on to her horn. Both the Princess and Ulfgar stared in each others eyes. The dragonborn was about to release her when he got distraced by a far to familiar sound.

"There is noise again." Heavy said.

"By the gods. Not here." Ulfgar was shocked.

Suddenly shouts of panic and fear started erupting from outside the castle.

"DRAGON!!!!" a young mare shouted at the top of her lungs.

Ulfgar had released the princess now and both stared out the window. His fears became true as he saw a dragon land and wreak havoc in the large city of Canterlot. Ponies were panicking, desperatly trying to escape the flames left by the massive creature. Ulfgar knew exactly what is was as he'd faced their kind countless of times.

It was an ancient dragon. With its copper colored scales it was considered one of the most dangerous common dragons in Skyrim. But there was one odd thing about this dragon. Its eyes. They were glowing bright red. And it seemed a bit careless. It was just randomly spewing fire, without a clear target.

Ulfgar stood face to face with the princess once more as she was shocked by what just occured. Her face grew paler and the sun princess started getting extremely worried about the wellbeing of her ponies.

"How about we go and kill that dragon for you Princess Celestia." Ulfgar asked.

"Why would you help me after what I've done. I misjudged you and nearly paid for it with my life."

"Mistakes are there to be made, we've all made some. Also, you might be the only one who can send us home."

Celestia hesitated. These humans, they were clearly dangerous. But knowing her ponies were in danger, she decided to give in to the pressure. "If you can stop the suffering my ponies have to endure under Discord's mad plans, then I will gladly do everything in my power to assist you in returning to your proper realms."

"Aye, then we have a deal." Ulfgar looked at Carmine and Heavy. "Are you prepared to fight a dragon."

"Pff, I've fought chickens bigger then that." Carmine bragged.

"We go and CRUSH puny dragon!" Heavy yelled.

The three humans then jumped straight through the window. No time for shortcuts. They finally faced a true enemy this time. Together. And they couldnt be more exited. The screaming crowd of civilian ponies took notice of them and started panicking even more when they saw the trio of strange creatures laughing out loud and heading towards the dragon.

Celestia just gazed at the humans, praying she made the right decision. The sun princess got startled as she suddenly heard a familiar laugh.

"Isnt chaos a beautiful thing?" it said.

Authors note: A bit more serious chapter this time. Hope you've enjoyed it!
Next chapter the trio vs dragon.

Chapter five. Dragons and Lies.

The trio had just jumped through the window heading towards the rampaging dragon that was now flying above Canterlot. They were slown down when approached by a mob of panicking ponies.

"By Celestia! more monsters! run RUN!" a fancily dressed unicorn yelled. Carmine stopped the trio. The group of ponies were meanwhile escorted to safety by a few Royal Guards.

"STOP!" he shouted. "Did you guys see that?"

"What? WHAT? We have a dragon to slay. Hurry up with it." Ulfgar responded.

"Well...Its just that all these ponies are dressed. Yet the princess wasnt wearing anything, or those ponies in uhh...Ponyville." Carmine cringed when he said towns name. "Does that mean they're all nudists or something?"

"They're bloody ponies, stop questioning their logic. Now, we need to bring that foul dragon to the ground, luckily I have just th..." Ulfgar got interupted by Heavy's large hand.

"Shh shh...I know how to bring down puny dragon. Then I will crush it with Sasha." The Russian said and the dovakhiin agreed. That way he wouldnt have to use another shout so soon.

"Okay big guy, but listen. You got a big gun and all, but learn how to preserve some ammo. Who knows what we'll get to shoot after this big ugly lizard? I dont think these ponies have a gun store around here." Carmine told Heavy.

"If Engineer was here, he would build us dispenser. Then I could fire Sasha forever!"

"Well your engineer isnt here, its just us. So take it easy."

"Da...But Sasha will taste its blood." Heavy grinned.

The trio continued onward avoiding more screaming ponies on the way. The dragon meanwhile landed on a building where he was facing a handful of Royal Guard pegasi.

"By Celestia! this dragon is unlike any i've ever encountered in Equestria." The guard was avoiding the intense heat produced by the dragon's flames. Its loud roars were strong enough to shatter every nearby window. The force that was created by the dragon just flapping his wings was enough to throw the ponies of their feet. It roared once more sending chills down the Royal Guards spines, then the dragon proceeded to drop down from the building's roof landing right infront of the guards. Its bright-red glowing eyes were so terrifying the group of ponies simply froze in fear. The dragon then prepared to finish his prey, it let out a final roar as the dragons jaws rushed towards the closest of the terrified golden-armored ponies.

This guard had his eyes closed. Death was near and he wasnt ready to face it yet. But it didnt come. He slowly opened his eyes and one of the humans that he'd just escorted not half an hour ago stood before him. Stopping the dragons enourmous jaw with his bare hands.

"Is dragon killing time!" Heavy laughed out loud as the dragon shrieked in confusion. Ulfgar jumped in delivering several slices to the dragons right wing with his greatsword. The beast was now in great pain and the adrenaline caused him to shake his neck, wings and tails around. Heavy lost grip on the dragon's head and fell on the ground. He immediatly stood up to retrieve Sasha. The dragon now with deep cuts in one of its wings, took off to the sky once again. Carmine also joined in and approached the five pegasi Royal Guards.

"Alright little pony guards, we can handle things here. So just move along okay?" The COG soldier was relaxed as always. The leader of the Guards was the first to recover from his near-death experience.

"N..No." He said.

"I told you to stand down, and you should do as you're told soldier!" Carmine enjoyed taking command for some reason.

"And I swore to protect the princess and ponies of Canterlot! mighty foe or not. I will defend this place with my last breath and not stand idling at the sides." The guard spoke proudly. Carmine took a good look in the ponies large eyes. They showed determination and courage. But also foolishness. Much like his brothers.

"What's your name soldier?" The COG asked.

"Commander Dark Spear." The pegasus answered.

"Fine if you wanna help. Stick with those guys and provide a distraction while I go and make sure that oversized chicken never takes off again." Carmine pointed at Heavy and Ulfgar who were busy taunting the dragon.

"YOL TUUR SHUL!" the dragon's words could heard faintly as he breathed out a continuing barrage of flaming death right in front of the trio and the group of pegasi.

"GOGO NOW!" Carmine sprinted into an alleyway and vanished into the shadows shortly after. Commander Dark Spear took a look at his guards. Two remained to terrified to continue so he ordered them to stand guard at the princess and inform headquarters to request reinforcements from nearby towns. Dark Spear and two of his toughest pegasi stayed on the battlefield. Protecting what is theirs.

"You heard the human! they seem capable of destroying this monster. So we're gonna do whatever we can to help!"

"YOL!" The dragon sprayed more flames towards them. They were able to dodge it quitte easily but the fire that passed them had now ignited the alleyway and several buildings Carmine was heading to.

"AH FUCK AAH I'M ON FIRE FUCK AAH!" It sounded like he was alright.

Dark Spear approached the dovakhiin. "What can we do to assist?"

"What can three little flying ponies do here." Ulfgar was patronizing the Royal Guards.

"We will do whatever is neccesary to ensure the safety of our civilians and princess!" Dark Spear wasnt bothered by the dragonborn's tone.

"Aye, then die a fools death. All we need to do is bring that dragon to the ground. When it does it'll be like a punching bag. I can't use the Thu'um just ye...." Another dragon shout interupted Ulfgar.

"YOL!"

_________

"Discord! how is this possible?" The princess was shocked as the draconequus appeared next to her with an evil grin.

"Oh why good day to you as well." He said.

"Did you corrupt the creatures that arrived here to cause chaos and disharmony once more?

"Oh that's just the good part! Those three humans or whatever they're called somehow resisted my corruption, and yet they STILL nearly murdered you brutally!" Discord laughed maniacally, but slowly got more serious. " These other worlds...there are so many that surround us, and all have different meanings of ultimate chaos. What I'm searching for is the ultimate combination."

"Is that why you brought those humans then?" Celestia asked.

"Ha! please! dont make me laugh. Consider them a failed experiment. If my dragon doesn't devour them you can send them to the moon for all I care...unless you're willing to play a little game."

"I have no intention to participate in any of your actions."

"Oh come on Celestia! This is just what I need to keep me entertained while I'm preparing the main event!"

"BEGONE FOUL DEMON!" Luna suddenly stormed through the door shouting her traditional Royal Canterlot voice.

"Ah Night Mare Moon. How nice of you to join us." The draconequus giggled. The sun princess glared at Discord.

"Her name is LUNA!" Celestia was agitated and conjured up an orb of ice from her magical horn. She shot it towards Discord who easily teleported away just with a snap of his fingers. The orb shattered on impact against her own throne, completely freezing it and its surroundings.

Discord appeared behind Luna slightly startling her, but she didn't let her guard down. She continued growling at the self-proclaimed god of chaos.

"Wow, you ponies CAN actually be scary when you try. Haha!"

Two pegasi royal guards now arrived through the shattered window. "Stop right there criminal scum!" they yelled.

"Well it's getting a bit crowded here so I guess I'll take my leave then. But know one thing Celestia." Discord stared at the Princess. "When chaos collides, it's not going to be pretty. Know that even your precious Elements of Harmony wont be able to stop the horrors I've planned for you ponies. You'll see soon enough." The draconequus then mysteriously vanished without a trace. The echo of his evil laughter could still be heard throughout the chambers, slowly dissapearing.

Princess Celestia suddenly collapsed to the ground. The guards and Luna rushed to her.

"Tia! You're bleeding! did Discord do this." Luna shouted as she was extremely concerned with her sister's health. Celestia raised her hoof and gently touched her neck, revealing a large cut. She pushed Luna away, now standing eye to eye with the two guards that arrived.

"The dragon...is it..." Princess Celestia asked in a soft voice.

"Uhh..Uh...The dragon is still in Canterlot, we were saved by the humans. They are currently fighting the dragon alongside Commander Dark Spear.

"Is there anypony hurt?"

"We have not encountered any casualties yet. Most ponies have been safely escorted into the mountains. However, alot of houses and businesses have been completely destroyed."

"They can be rebuild. Please continue and search for anypony in need of help." Celestia slowly rose up to her hooves again.

"But princess, you need medical attention immediatly!"

"I'll be fine. Please go. Thats an order." The guards left as they were told but felt uneasy leaving the princess. Still an order is an order.

"Sister! tell me what has happened. How did Discord do this!" Luna already grabbed a first aid kit and started bandaging her beloved sister's neck. Celestia took a long breath and explained the situation. How these three humans came from different worlds filled with violence and murder. How Discord had killed two of them in order to transport them across dimensions. That they mysteriously resisted Discord's corruption, yet still remained dangerous. She told the horned one was capable of casting powerful magic, and stopped time itself in order to capture her. How he placed the blade against her neck, but in the end decided to spare her life if she would help them return to their own worlds.

But Celestia was lying. Ulfgar and Carmine had been killed by Discord in their own worlds. They would no longer be able to have a physical body in their realms. For the one known as Heavy weapons guy it was different. He died all the time, but strange technology was able to recreate him. In fact. If he died right now, he most likely would return to 'Earth' right away.

Luna was shocked. "The human...He cut you? Then he must be punished!"

Celestia shook her head in disagreement. "No sister. If anything, he should be praised for sparing my life after my horrible missjudgement. These 'humans'...They're evil and destructive in so many ways. But deep inside I truly believe now that they're capable of delivering great justice. Not in the name of Chaos. But in our ways of Harmony. "

"Then why did you lie to them?" Luna asked.

"...The truth is...I'd never been that scared in whole my life. The one named Ulfgar...He is truly a terrifying man..." Celestia looked away embarrassed.

Luna frowned. Her sister scared? In thousands of years she never admitted to be scared of anything. Now she's saying she's scared of some big hairless iron-armored magical monkey. "But still you must tell them the truth." The moon princess said.

"In time I will yes, I just need some time to figure things out...Maybe there is a way...Maybe..." Celestia was feeling much better now. The cut the dovakhiin left behind wasn't very deep. And she had a very tough hide luckily. The bleeding already stopped by the bandages Luna had used. Yet an unpleasant stinging feeling remained.

"Luna. I need you to assist the humans with the dragon that is still loose in Canterlot. And after that, IMMEDIATLY return with them here." Celestia was serious.

"Will you be alright sister?"

"I will be fine. Please go and make sure no pony gets hurt."

Luna trusted her sister once again and flew off also through the broken convenient window. Even though she wasn't as powerful as her sister, she was still a very capable destructive magic user. Combined with the powers of Night Mare Moon she inherited she was not a pony to mess with.

________

Ulfgar had pulled out his bow and arrow and began firing at the dragon. Heavy stared at this and started laughing maniacally.

"WOHHAOOHOOOA! what is little dragon man doing? Heavy kept laughing.

"By Ysgromar! cant you see I'm trying to shoot this damn dragon down!" Ulfgar responded angrily.

"You are doing it wrong way." Heavy grinned and started revving his minigun Sasha. "YAHAHAHA!" The Russian laughed like a madman as he started shooting into the sky. Sasha was far from accurate, but its seemingly endless magazine made it nearly impossible to miss if shot long enough. The dragon just hovered nearby getting ready for another breath of fire. Unfortunatly for him he flew right into Sasha's line of fire. Bullets were definitly penetrating him as they could guess from the dragon's cries of pain. But the wings stayed intact. Heavy stopped shooting because of what Carmine told him. "Must preserve ammo. Will crush dragon other way." He grunted.

Ulfgar had thrown away his useless bow and arrows with a small tear in his eye. Knowing it was useless next to this loud destructive dwemer device Heavy was carrying. But he kept trust in his greatsword and magic abilities. He looked up as he saw the dragon shriek out in pain but still refusing to land.

"YOL!" another breath of fire was coming.

Commander Dark Spear and his men flew around courageous carefully avoiding all the dragon's flames. He spotted the COG soldier he spoke to before on a roof of a half destroyed building. He was taking cover behind a chimney. Carefully aiming his strange metal device towards the dragon. He looked the Royal Guards in the eyes and signalled a 'thumbs up'.

"..........." Dark Spear had no idea what a thumbs up ment. He didnt even know what a thumb is. "Hey ugly! this way!" he waved around his hoofs to get the dragon's attention. The dragon spotted him and decided the golden armored pony would be his meal. The Commander pushed his men out the way and flew as fast as he could to the building Carmine was hiding with the dragon on his tail.

"WOAH WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!" Carmine shouted. The pegasus flew passed him but the dragon landed right next to him on the half-destroyed roof. The entire building started collapsing down with Carmine and the dragon in it.

Heavy and Ulfgar could only see large cloud of dust and some debris. Both the dragon and Carmine must be underneath.

"CARMINE! are you alright?" The dovakhiin shouted.

"IS FUTURE MAN ALIVE?" Heavy followed.

Dark Spear started wondering if that wasn't what the COG soldier wanted with this 'thumbs up'.

Suddenly the dust started vanishing as they saw the dragon slowly rise from the debris. It roared out once more, clearly pissed off. They saw another pile of debris being lifted up behind the dragon. Next they suddenly heard an unfamilair buzzing sound.

"TAKE THIS YOU BIIITCH." Carmine arose from the dust with his Lancer chainsaw attachment all revved up. He sawed through the dragon's left wing as if it was butter. Blood spattered in all directions. Mostly on the COG soldier unfortunatly. When he nearly sawed through the entire wing he'd put away his gun and proceeded to yank out the small wing the dragon had left with his hands. The dragon cried in pain but it wasn't finished yet. The scaled beast smacked its large head against Carmine launching him atleast thirty feet away.

The dragon rolled around desperately trying to stand up in the pile of debris. He looked in despair as he saw the human that was able to stop his jaws with just his own strength approach him. Now carrying a large weapon.

"I told you Sasha would taste its blood." Heavy grinned and satisfied some of his bloodlust as he lifted up his mini-gun and started to relentlessly pounding Sasha on its face. Again. And again. And again.

The dragon stopped moving when Heavy started to hear its skull crack. Its eyes started turning back to their normal black color instead of bright glowing red.

"What sorcery is this!" Ulfgar sounded confused.

"What? We killed it right?" Carmine crawled back up.

"Exactly! then why cant I absorb its soul?"

"Maybe dragon is not dead then?" Heavy said.

Ulfgar decided to put this to the test and unsheathed his blade. He held it up high for a large slash. He then cut through the dragon's neck like it was nothing.

"......It's dead now right?" Ulfgar was flabbergasted. This had never happened before. Even if someone else got the killing blow. He is the dragonborn. Devourer of dragon souls, only he was able to do this. Why not now?

"Maybe... it doesnt have a soul?" Carmine tried to find some logic in it.

"Aye...lets just keep it to that then."

"Alright humans do not fear! We have arrived t..." Luna arrived at the scene where she spotted a non-equestrian dragon decapitated. Also it was covered in small holes and shattered scales. Its right wing was severely damaged by a sharp object and it didnt even have a left wing anymore. "It appears our help was not neccesary."

"P-p-princess Luna!" Commander Dark Spear immediatly regained his composure and made a salute.

"Please stand down Commander. Report please." Luna asked him.

"Uh..yes...The humans appear to have killed the dragon that was destroying our city."

"Any casualties?"

"Zero. Alot of building's and houses have been completely burned or destroyed though."

"Then return to your barracks and await further orders." Luna commanded. The Royal Guards took a final salute and took off. Dark Spear made sure to apologize to Carmine before he left. The COG soldier just shrugged and told him not to worry about it.

"Now then humans! you will return with me to the castle at once!" The blue alicorn sure loved her traditional Royal Canterlot speech.

"Then do we discuss returning to our worlds?" Ulfgar acted excited.

"In time humans. First you will apologize to my sister. Then we will discuss your temporary stay in Equestria."

"Wait a minute, for what do we need to apologize." Ulfgar asked.

"You scarred my sister. And you will all apologize...or else!" A loud thunder and lighting bolt could be heard and seen behind Luna.

"Oops sorry about that!" A wandering gray pegasus appareantly crashed into a cloud causing it to thunder.

"So flying ponies can walk on clouds huh? Whadda'ya know." Carmine shrugged once again. "Listen uhh Princess Luna right?"

"YES!" she shouted right in Carmine's face.

"Uhh...We'll gladly come back to the castle...but you know we're kind of hungry. We havent eaten since we've gotten here."

"There will be plenty of food after we're done with our business."

"What about Bacon?"

"And Sandvich!"

"By the gods, I would kill for a roasted goat leg right now."

Luna looked at the three in disgust. "Thy creatures...Humans? They eat meat?"

"Well ofcourse, dont you?" Carmine facepalmed when he finished speaking. Ofcourse horses dont eat meat.

"Thy truly are a disgusting race. But we will speak of that later. My sister awaits you three right now. Let us go!" And with that Luna and the three humans ventured back to the throne room.

_______

Celestia had just finished writing a letter to her prize pupil Twilight Sparkle, bearer of the Element of Magic. The princess saw her sister and the three humans enter. Once again through the window.

"You know we have a perfectly good frontdoor you can use!" Celestia said slightly agitated.

"Woah! We just saved this town from a deadly dragon and thats how you welcome us?" Carmine laughed.

Celestia facehooved. "I'm truly sorry. I just have alot on my mind right now with a god of chaos running loose. I'm ever grateful to you three humans for doing Equestria a great service. I heard that everypony got escorted to the mountains safely." Luna nodded at her sister to confirm this.

"Then can you finally tell me when I can return to Skyrim!" Celestia flinched as Ulfgar talked.

"I...I...First we need to stop Discord. When his magic is completely vanished I can look further into this."

"Then show us the way to this Discord, he will feel the fury of my ancestors when my blade will penetrate his heart." The dovakhiin pledged.

Celestia was disturbed by the dovakhiin's words, but she knew sealing Discord wasn't going to work a third time. He had to be eliminated. Once and for all. No matter how cruel it may seem. "We're not sure where he's hiding out. However I'm certain he will reveal himself to you three over time. He sees all this as a game of chess... And we are the pawns." Celestia sighed.

"Then let him play his game. I will destroy all that will oppose me in my quest to return to my land." Ulfgar was determined.

"Whatever he's gonna throw at us. We can take it." Carmine said.

"I am sure Engineer will take care of all. Heavy will crush ponies enemies in mean time." The Russian had a wide smile.

"Well its good to hear you're all on our side now. I'm truly confident that together we will be able to stop Discord's evil future plans. But for now I wish to set a few ground rules for you humans as long you reside in Equestria."

"Rules...?" The trio looked dissapointed.

"Yes! for goodness sake. You three people are running around with weapons and magic obliterating everything in sight! I wont have such things happen."

Celestia cleared her throat. "Ahum...Rule number one. You will not be allowed to harm, injure or mentally assault anypony. Im aware you three are very attached to your 'weapons' so I will not take those from you, however I advise you not to use them."

"Hmm I can live with that."

"Yeah thats not so bad."

"Hrmm." Heavy grunted.

"And know that by breaking this rule the penalty is banishment." Celestia added.

"The to moooooooon right?" Carmine joked.

"Nope, a one way ticket to the sun." Celestia smiled.

"Haha..." The COG soldier was abit disturbed.

"Now then. Rule number two. You three will reside in the nearby town of Ponyville. Under direct supervision by the elements of harmony."

"Woah woah. Wait a second... You're gonna let a bunch of ponies babysit us?" Carmine asked.

"Well yes. Just to be safe."

"Ah well. Atleast its not like you're asking us to work or something. Im fine with it."

"That brings me to rule number three. When you three reside in Ponyville I want you humans to find a job and contribute to society just like everypony unti...." Celestia was then shocked as the three humans got enraged.

"A JOB? Do I look like i've got time to do some stupid job! my people! they await the return of Ulfgar the Fearless! I cant waste time on a job!"

"I will not work for little ponies. Heavy only works for RED."

"Yeah what the hell. This just sound ridiculous."

"... You didnt let me finish. Until we learn more about Discord's plans or find his hide-out. Its just temporary. And every moment you spend working is less time for you to hurt anypony." Celestia smiled awkardly.

Carmine looked at her. He could find some logic in her rules. "Fine but really. That's the last straw."

"Great, those were the rules anyway. I'll let you..." Celestia was interupted by Luna who whispered something in her sisters ear. "They what?!" The white alicorn suddenly changed from her awkard laugh to a more stern look.

"A sudden change. Rule number four. As long you remain in Equestria you will NOT be permitted to eat meat under any circumstances!" Celestia looked at the trio who looked like they were going to explode.

"NO BACON ARE YOU KIDDING ME, WHY DONT YOU SEND ME TO HELL RIGHT AWAY!" Carmine felt a sting in his heart.

"WHAT! WHAT!? SANDVICH WITH NO MEAT IS LIKE SNAKE WITH NO VENOM. NOT SPICY AT ALL!" Heavy added.

"Aye, I'll agree to this. Its a small price to pay as long you promise us your help." Ulfgar said to the princess.

Celestia started smiling awkardly again. "Oh look at the time. I've got alot of work to do. So I'll send some guards to escort you three to your private chambers where you can stay untill everything in Ponyville is arranged. There's a lovely menu of vegetarian treats! bye-bye!"

A guard arrived and did so while Carmine and Heavy were still extremely dissapointed at the fact they couldn't have their favorite meals anymore. They were certainly loud enough to let everyone know. Ulfgar apologized to Celestia just as Luna asked. Both princesses now waved the trio off.

"Sister. You must tell them the truth eventually." Luna told Celestia.

"I know. But now is not the time. Discord should be our main priority no matter what." The white alicorn sighed once more.

She pre-read the letter she had just written to Twilight. Alright no spelling errors. Everything seems in place. She was about to send it with her magic but was stopped by Luna.

"Stop Tia! Discord might intercept the message with his magic!"

"You're right." Celestia couldn't afford to take any risks.

"Then bring me the best mail pony you can find!"

Authors note. I wrote this in one sitting because I was slacking off past two days.
Now my head hurts.
I hope you've enjoyed it though!

Chapter six. It's such a mad world.

Black Thunder was a pegasus. But not just any normal pegasus, oh no. He was considered one of the fastest flyers in Equestria. The Wonderbolts had often approached Thunder asking him to join. But each time he respectfully declined. His duty laid elsewhere. He was a honorable mail pony. Delivering packages or messages safely and on time was his passion. It was his meaning in life. Luna saw in him a fitting candidate to deliver the message from Celestia to the town of Ponyville.

Unfortunatly Black Thunder was not available as he was attending a mysterious meeting in Manehattan... So Luna decided to get the next best possible thing! and by that I mean the only pony left in Canterlot after the dragon's attack.

A grey cross-eyed pegasus with a blond mane named Derpy Hooves. A mare loved by a majority but despised by some. But there was no pony that could deny that Derpy was capable of great things!

Luna had escorted the grey pegasus to the Throne room where Celestia still resided. Derpy had never met the princess in person before, so she was quitte excited. Celestia smiled genuinely at the cross-eyed pony which made her feel slightly nervous.

"Know that delivering this message is of utmost importance. Are you certain you're capable of this task?" Celestia asked kindly.

"Muffins!" The pegasus responded overjoyed causing Celestia and Luna to frown, Derpy herself facehooved shortly after she realised what she just said. "I'm sorry Princess... Its just that I'm a bit nervous about meeting both princesses on the same day. But I'll get that message to Twilight no matter what! you can trust me!"

"That's great to know. But tell me. What were you still doing in Canterlot when the dragon appeared?" Celestia changed her frown to a smile once again.

"Oh, well since its my day off I flew to Canterlot today because of the big muffin sale ofcourse! Three muffins for one bit, how could I pass that up. Then that big mean dragon landed and everypony started panicking, I wasn't sure on what to do so I hid on a cloud." The grey pegasus responded.

"I think that's very brave of you Ms. Hooves."

"Please call me Derpy! and uhm... When I was on that cloud, I saw three strange monkeys with a royal guard fighting the dragon. Is this letter about them?"

"It is."

"Dont worry then Princess! I'll deliver it to Ponyville right away." Derpy took the scroll in her mouth as Celestia used magic to levitate it to her.

"I can't thank you enough for this. Please be careful during your travels."

"Mmhmhpppmmmh." Derpy voice was muffled because she was holding the letter. But the princesses got the point. They watched the grey pegasus take off with great haste.

________

The trio had now been escorted to a private chambers. There were tables full of food... Just not the food they hoped for. Salads, Fruits and more vegetables. Also sweets. So. Many. Sweets. To Heavy's surpise there were some sandwiches. However they resembled nothing of his trusty comrade 'Sanvich'. So he proceeded to sulk in a corner talking Russian to himself.

"This is fucking ridiculous!" Carmine slammed his fists on a nearby table. "No fucking meat! what the hell?"

"Carmine listen, these ponies are different from us. It's best to follow their rules so we can return as soon as possible." Ulfgar tried to calm down the COG soldier.

"No you fucking listen. I spend half my damn life fighting in a war eating nothing but crap. Then I just die randomly, get transported to a different world and then some ponies are telling me not to eat meat?" Heavy and the dovakhiin had never seen Carmine this angry all day. They just figured him to be relaxed no matter what.

"But...-" Ulfgar was confused.

"Just fucking stop, I'll get my bacon one way or another."

"The princess told us not to break their rules. I will follow them as told, and as I said. I will destroy all that will oppose me in my quest to return home." The dragonborn started acting serious.

"You think you scare me with your butterknife and fancy magic? I'll fucking cut you up as well. I'm going to hit the sack. Wake me when we're leaving." Carmine pushed the dovakhiin out the way and left the room.

"What is his problem?" Ulfgar now faced Heavy.

"Future man is just angry. Let him sleep and tomorrow he will be nice again. Heavy must rest as well" The Russian sighed.

"Fine, lets just hope he wont do anything foolish."

"Twilight! Twilight!" Derpy just arrived in Ponyville shouting and rushed towards the library. She gracefully crashed through the open window and knocked Rainbow Dash who was also there, reading the latest installment of Daring Do right of her couch.

"Ughh.. Careful Derpy." The blue pegasus rolled her eyes and picked up her book.

"Oh! I'm so sorry Rainbow Dash. Are you alright?" Derpy asked concerned.

"Please! I'm the toughest pony in Equestria! I can take a few hits." Rainbow bragged. "Now. What brings you here in such a hurry?"

"Oh yes! I'm here to deliver an emergency message from the princess and ...-" Derpy got interupted by Rainbow Dash.

"The princess! we saw a big dragon near Canterlot a while ago! what happened?"

"Well I'm not sure but its fine now I think."

"Is there any pony hurt?" Twilight Sparkle now also entered the room.

Derpy shook her head. "No, everypony was escorted outside the town safely. The dragon was defeated by the Royal Guards and some strange creatures. The princess said the letter would about them." The grey pegasus handed to scroll over to Twilight.

"I hope she's not talking about those three monsters we had destroy half the town earlier." Rainbow Dash still didn't like them.

"I'm pretty sure that she is." Twilight sparkle opened the scroll.

My faithful student Twilight Sparkle.

Today has been a dark day for Equestria.

Discord has once again escaped imprisonment and is responsible for bringing beings from different worlds in our realm. I'm aware you've have already met three of them. Fortunatly they've been able to resist Discord's corruption. But he has also brought a dangerous dragon here. Fully corrupted and working to his will. It was luckily defeated by our guests. But I have no idea what he has planned next.

What im asking is if you and your friends are willing to take these three 'humans' under your care and keep a close eye on them. Know that they are extremely dangerous. But they have promised to not harm any pony and keeping them locked up is not an option. I need you and the Elements to assign each of them jobs to keep them occupied while me and my sister will be in pursuit of information about Discord's whereabouts. I need you all not to worry. Things will be handled properly.

-Princess Celestia.

PS. I want my you to personally keep an eye on the one named Ulfgar. He's capable of deploying powerful magic, so you might learn a thing or two. I will send a carriage to escort them in two days.

"WHAT! Discord escaped? But we defeated him! how is this even possible? Rainbow Dash was hovering above Twilight so she could sneakily read the letter as well. Twilight Sparkle was startled as the blue pegasus suddenly started shouting in her ear.

"Ah! Rainbow Dash! It's rude to sneak up on ponies. And I'm not certain how its possible. I was sure we sealed him up for good when we defeated him with the power of the Elements."

"W...W... What you mean Discord escaped?" Derpy seemed frightened.

"Dont be scared Derpy. The princess told us not to worry. I'm not sure how we're going to handle these three humans in Ponyville though." Twilight tried to calm Derpy.

"Yeah! just relax Derpy. If Discord shows his face around here I'll take him down in ten second flat. Same goes for those three freaks." The blue pegasus said.

"Rainbow! the princess told us to take care of them and thats exactly what we'll do. With the power of...-" Twilight was interupted.

"Magic?" Derpy asked.

"Uhm... No. With the power of careful planning!" Twilight was ready to take charge. "Derpy! I need to to fly over to the Mayor and inform her of all this. Rainbow! gather the elements so we can prepare."

"Ughh... I'm sure this is gonna end up badly." Rainbow sighed.

Two days later.

The trio was once again split up. The carriages made to hold four ponies was still uncomfortable and small to the three humans who each had their own. They were carried by the same group of pegasi that escorted them before.

Carmine had calmed down. But inside he was still angry at the lack of bacon. Ulfgar was uncomfortable, sitting and doing nothing the past two days. Heavy was just letting things happen. He seemed to enjoy the beautiful sight from the windows as they were flying atleast two kilometers up in the sky.

After a short trip of about an hour they arrived in a familiair place. The town known as Ponyville. Carmine looked out the window and saw about ten ponies with a large banner. "Welcome to Ponyville Humons!" it said.

Carmine facepalmed as he exited the the carriage. So did Ulfgar and Heavy. Still armed ofcourse. The result was a few ponies clapping slowly and some awkward coughing.

"Well this is wei...-" The COG soldier was silenced by a pink blur that was to fast for a human's eye to follow.

"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie! but you already knew that. And you're Carmine right huh? Huh?" The pink pony tapped Carmine's helmet twice. "Weird name but thats alright! everypony or hewman is my friend of course! do you like parties? Of course everypony loves to party. Doyouwantopartyballoonscupcakesandconfettiand...-" Pinkie Pie got interrupted. A purple glow zipped her mouth shut. "Mmmmppilimm!" she waved her hooves angrily to towards Twilight Sparkle.

"Pinkie please... You're scaring our guests. Welcome to Ponyville humans!" the purple unicorn was the first to properly approach the trio.

"By the gods. Is she always so excited." Ulfgar asked.

"Yeah, what the hell? Even Baird talks less then that." Carmine added.

Heavy was narrowing his eyes. He saw something...

"Mmhhmmmgmm!" the hyper pinky pony was repeatedly jumping up and down. It appears she had her own sound effect.

"Oh she's just being Pinkie Pie. You'll get used to it eventually. Would it be possible if you three could keep the swearing to a minimum please? There's alot of young ponies around and...-" Twilight was now the one being interupted.

"LOOK! THERE IS LITTLE PONY THAT KICKED HEAVY IN FACE!" the Russian yelled and dropped his gun.

The young pegasus known as Scootaloo flinched at this and this and did the one sensible thing. Run like hell. "YAAAAHAHHH!" Heavy ran right behind her with his arms stretched, yelling like a madmen. It looked rather comical seeing them run circles around the carriage.

"Uhm... Excuse me." Heavy stopped as he heard this soft sweet voice.

"OH! is little shy pony! How is Flutter doing?"

"... It's actually Fluttershy... But uhmm... Could you maybe stop chasing Scootaloo please?"

"Njet, little chicken pony must pay for crimes."

"Oh... Im sorry to hear that... But maybe you should atleast hear her out... She wants to tell you she's sorry."

"Little pony apology is no good for me."

"Pleaaaaase." Fluttershy squeaked."

"Hrmmm... Only for shy pony Heavy will hear out little pony." The Russian grunted.

"Go on then Scootaloo, I told you he's not scary at all." Fluttershy gestured the young pegasus to come out her hiding place.

Scootaloo jumped down from the carriage she was hiding in while Heavy and Fluttershy were having their conversation. She approached the large Russian. She felt her heart pounding faster when the human looked down upon her.

"I uhh... I guess I'm sorry for kicking you in the face mister..."

"Is that all." Heavy growled.

"Well you guys said you were going to eat me! what else was I supposed to do!"

"Then stop looking like delicious poeltry." Carmine joked.

"That's not very nice mister Carmine. Scootaloo was just scared." Fluttershy responded.

"Oh yeah! I also found this in that big treasure chest. I guess it belong to you guys." Scootaloo out of nowhere (pony logic) pulled out the stylish sunglasses she scavenged earlier.

"This is... These are Sniper's glasses! this is great gift to me!" Heavy put on the sunglasses with a smile. Having something that reminded of home was comforting.

"So you accept Scootaloo's apology then?" Fluttershy had put on her happiest smile.

"DA! all is forgiven. Heavy will learn little orange pony to fly like mother Russia's own Миль Ми-24!"

"Wow! I have no idea what that is. But it sounds awesome!" Scootaloo's was super excited.

"Is like летающий танк! how do you say in English."

"There's that funny accent of them again'. Ah swear ah have no idea what he's talkin' about." Applejack was the next pony to join the humans.

"We dont either." Carmine said to AJ.

"Well... This has been very interesting. But let's get to the point." Twilight levitated a long list infront of her. "The princess has told us that we should assign you humans jobs. Since you three destroyed half the town last time you were here, I think its more then reasonable that you fix all the damage done. Most shattered windows have already been replaced, but you made two mares very unhappy after uhm... Blowing up their home. Your first job will be to rebuild their house. Applejack here will help you three to get started. We'll discuss where you're staying when you guys are finished for the day. And no Pinkie! we're not going to throw them a party!"

"Awww." Pinkie had her mouth unzipped now and was dissapointed which she showed by deflating her mane.

"Ugh... Atleast not yet." And with those words from Twilight, the pink pony's mane immediatly inflated again.

"Alright then! have fun on your first day in Ponyville!" the purple unicorn waved them of.

The trio sighed in dissapointment, but they were dedicated to hold their promise. Carmine felt slightly guilty, even though Ulfgar shattered all the windows and Heavy destroyed the house with his mini-gun. Carmine actually didn't do anything apart from spraying a few bullets randomly in the air. But still he was going to help rebuild those poor ponies house. Maybe apologize to them afterwards.

______

Applejack, Heavy, Carmine and Ulfgar arrived at the completely wrecked house. For some reason Scootaloo decided to tag along since her friends werent around. Rainbow Dash was also there, spying on them. She hid on a cloud still distrustful towards the humans.

"So uhh, whaddaya'll know about carpentry?" Applejack asked.

"Are you serious! I've build my home with my own two hands! and no bandit, demon or even the harsh cold winter has ever gotten in." the dovakhiin bragged.

"I was once in work camp in Siberia, Heavy learned how to build there." The Russian followed.

"I've learned a thing or two of some stranded past few years." Carmine added.

"Once again ah have no idea what yer talkin' about. But thats fine, from what ah can understand yer all fine builders. Ya'll certainly seem strong enough to carry heavy things around."

"Oh stop it, you." Carmine blushed under his helmet.

"Me an' ma brother put some supplies across the street earlier, go get em and let's get to work." Applejack ordered the humans.

And so the humans did, the hours passed slowly working in in the the scorching sun. They were all sweating enough to fill a small pool. But with the power of hands, Ulfgar's magic, Applejack's hard work and a convenient eighties movie montage they were able to create an entire house before the end of the day. Sure, it was completely made of wood. And it was much smaller then a human house. But it had two damn floors, a roof and even windows. Ofcourse it wasn't furnished yet but they could let the ponies worry about that themself. All that was left now is putting in the frontdoor.

"Alright guys. Great job! ya can take a five minute break and then we'll finish up for today."

Ulfgar was exhausted. He searched for a nearby fountain. Being in the burning sun all day took its toll on him. He was used to the comforting cold of the north.

Heavy wasn't tired at all. He was throwing Scootaloo in the air hoping she would be able to take of herself. But no matter how hard she flapped her wings, she couldn't gain any altitude.

Carmine took place on a nearby bench. He was used to being in the sun, but still pretty tired from working all day. He was yawning lazily as he got aproached by a cream colored pony. She had a dark blue mane with pink highlights.

"Excuse me... But are you the human that destroyed my house?" She asked.

Carmine looked at the small pony. It didn't really look mad. "Yep, It was a misunderstanding though. I'm really sorry for what happened.

"Really?"

"Uhh... Yeah."

"Then I'll gladly accept your apology! my name's Bon-Bon."

The COG soldier frowned. She's pretty quick to forgive someone who just blew up her home a few days ago. Pony logic he guessed. "I'm Carmine. And we're actually almost done rebuilding your house."

"Really? thats great! Me and Lyra had to stay with a friend the last few days... It'd be great to have our own house again."

"Can I ask why you aren't uhh... Well mad at us?" Carmine asked confused.

"... The truth is I was enraged at first. But Twilight kept begging me to forgive you. Besides, we were able to scavenge our important items from the debris. And since you're actually helping to rebuild our house, I guess there's no harm done."

"What do you mean Twilight kept begging you?"

"Well I'm not sure really. She just kept talking about the princess and kinda looked like she was stressed out. So I just went with it, but thats not what I'm here for!"

"Then what are you here for?"

"I came to warn you about my roommate... Lyra is a little uhh..."

"Crazy?"

"I was gonna say eccentric but yes. She always told us humans existed... We just never believed her upto now. But now she's changed... After you guys blew up our house."

"Pfff, I'm sure she'll forgive us in the e...-" Carmine was interupted by somepony coughing loudly.

"Hello Bon-Bon..." Suddenly the mint-green unicorn known as Lyra appeared behind the COG soldier and Bon-Bon. She gave Carmine a deadly glare.

"Oh Lyra hey! Whats up!" Bon-Bon started laughing awkardly.

"Just what do you think you're doing?" Lyra asked with an angry tone.

"Oh, I was just talking to our new human friend! look Lyra! he even has those hands you were always talking about!" Bon-Bon was flinging around Carmine's arms.

"Hey quit that!" the COG soldier shouted.

"Oh yes humans. I'm not interested in such things anymore." The green unicorn looked away.

"Oh come on Lyra! get over yourself and just forgive them. They even rebuild our house for us!"

"... They did?"

"Yeah we did. It's not done yet. But I can give you a small tour if you want?" Carmine joined the conversation.

"Fine! I'll take a look. But I wont forgive you so easily for what you've done."

"Sure sure. Lets go." Carmine stood up from the bench. Lyra could only look in amazement as the human skillfully walked on just his hind legs. His 'fingers' moved as five indiviual small hooves. Even though Lyra said she wasn't interested in humans anymore, she clearly was.

When they arrived at the house Lyra and Bon-Bon jaws dropped to the ground.

"What? Don't you like it?" Carmine asked.

"Is this our house? B-b-b-butt It's even bigger then what we had before! there are even two extra rooms!" Lyra hopped around in joy. "Now I can have my own music room!"

"So you forgive us then?"

"Yes! oh yes! you humans are such wonderful creatures! now let me see those han...-" Lyra suddenly got knocked over by Scootaloo who Heavy had just thrown through an open window.

"Ouch! I dont think flying inside was a good idea Mr. Heavy." Scootaloo jumped up and spotted something to her interest. "Hey Mr. Robot? What's this spiky ball thing?" The young pegasus grabbed one of the two Bolo frag grenades from Carmine's armor.

"Oh god she just didn't" The grenade clicked. "Shit she did!" Carmine said to himself in his mind.

"TAAAAAAAAAAKE COVER!" the COG soldier shouted as he quickly took over the grenade from Scootaloo and flung it across the room. He then grabbed the three ponies and dramaticly jumped through the window and proceeded to throw them as far as possible. He jumped into Heavy and pushed him to the ground as a devastating explosion erupted from behind them. Once again blowing Lyra and Bon-Bon's house to bits.

Rainbow Dash who had spend more time napping rather hen spying was now laughing her butt off. "And they spend all day fixing it! that's priceless ha!"

"By Ysgromar! what was that!" the dovakhiin was shocked as he encountered the once again destroyed building. All their hard work for nothing.

"What the hay happened here?" Applejack came storming towards Carmine and Heavy.

Carmine's ears were still buzzing from the noise. He couldn't hear the pony shout at him but he was pretty sure what she was asking. "Minor weapon malfunction." He said and then coughed up some dust.

"Aw shucks, now we gotta start all over again. Ah'm mighty sorry for all this Lyr... Lyra?" Applejack saw the green unicorn slowly head towards them. She looked furious.

Heavy was the first to stand and helped his friend Carmine get up as well. The COG soldier was still kind of groggy but he noticed Lyra coming.

"Oh once again I'm sorry for what happened. But I really cou...-" Carmine got stopped midway when he received a two strong pony legs to the knee from the green unicorn. "Ouch! what the hell?"

"Get out! GET OUT!" Lyra started shouting filled with rage and anger. "You humans will stop at nothing to ruin my life! get out right now! I never want to see you again!" She bucked Carmine a few more times!

"What the fuck! ouch! this horse is fucking crazy man!" the COG soldier pushed Lyra out the way. "Screw this. I'm getting the fuck out of here!" Carmine started running of in a random direction.

"Come back ya slacker! we gotta finish the job!" Applejack yelled at the fleeing soldier.

"I dont think we'll have time for that today." Ulfgar pointed out the sun was now nearly gone. Night was coming.

"Ugh... Rainbow! quit yer slackin' and go get that Carmine fella back right now." AJ asked the blue pegasus.

"Fine. Fine. I'll go get him." Rainbow Dash lazily took off.

"Alright. And you two are coming with me. We're meeting with Twilight in the library." Applejack picked up Scootaloo who was just hanging out even though she just nearly killed herself, two other ponies and a human. She didn't really realise what her actions caused. But then again, grenades are not something anypony is familiar with. Heavy and Ulfgar obediently followed. Bon-Bon and Lyra remained.

"Don't you think you were being a bit mean Lyra?" Bon-Bon asked her friend.

"They destroyed our house twice in just a few days! I've had enough of this." Lyra answered agitated.

"From my point of view it looked like he saved us actually... I don't think he meant for this to happen."

"I just dont care anymore. Lets head back to Berry Punch. I deserve some sleep."

______________

Carmine was sprinting for a good five minutes now. Luckily enough he didn't encounter any more crazy ponies on the way. He decided to stick the the edge of the nearby forest. Eventually he encountered a small cottage with seemingly a small petting zoo next to it.

"I wonder if there's any pigs here."

______________

Authors note: Chapter ended up getting to long so decided to stop it here and properly think of what I'm doing next in the story. Also note the lack of Rarity. I really want to include her somehow, but I find writing her notoriously hard and can't really come up with a situation for her to shine in. Some help would be greatly appreciated!

Chapter seven. A man and his meat.

Carmine approached the cottage. He went into soldier mode as he crawled through some bushes to avoid being seen. He noticed several chickens clucking around. Also there were flamingos, beavers, a relaxed looking forest bear and a forever-alone turtle.

"What kind of weird petting zoo is this?" The COG soldier mumbled to himself. Carmine unfortunatly wasn't able to spot any delicious pigs around. He continued crawling further and came to a realisation. Ponies in this world were talking. Maybe these animals could speak as well!

Carmine grabbed a rock and threw it against the bear's big nose. The beast was annoyed. It growled and turned towards the COG soldier.

"Hey buddy! can you talk?" Carmine asked the bear.

"Uhhm... excuse me. But why are you crawling through my yard?"

Carmine was surprised. The bear barely moved its jaws. but appareantly had a really soft femine voice. "Oh you know, just hanging. Some crazy pony attacked me, so I thought it'd be better to lay low for a while."

"A pony attacked you? Thats horrible! what happened?"

"Oh. Me and some others were building a house for these two ponies. But uhh... due to some unluc...-" Carmine stopped mid-sentence as the bear suddenly yawned, proceeded to lay down and close its eyes. "Hey! what the hell? I was talking to you!"

"But I'm still here?" The voice continued. It startled Carmine causing him to jump up from his cover. He then noticed the cream colored pegasus named Fluttershy was next to him all this time.

"Oh god. And I thought I was talking to a bear..." The COG soldier facepalmed.

"Uhhm... I dont think bears can talk."

"And I didn't think ponies could talk untill a few days ago."

"Oh... Thats okay uhh... Would you like to come in for some tea?"

"Yeah sure! lets have a frigging tea-party. I'm sure we'll have a blast."

Fluttershy wasn't sure if Carmine was being serious or sarcastic. But she let him in anyway, interested in what he was doing hidden in the bushes. She found Heavy the scariest looking one of the three humans, but she got over that quickly after learning he could be a gentle giant. Fluttershy thought, that in the few times she saw Carmine he was always rather calm and laid back. Surely he coulnd't be more dangerous then a yelling RED Heavy.

Carmine entered the cottage with the pink-maned pegasus. He immediatly noticed even more critters inside. Humming birds, squeaking mice and an annoying looking rabbit. He instantly knew he did NOT like this bunny as it glared evilish towards the COG soldier.

"So you have quitte alot of animals I see." Carmine said.

"Oh yes, I love little animals and taking care of them." Fluttershy then gave her bunny a big hug. "Please take a seat!"

"Uhh... Okay." Carmine took place on the pony-sized couch.

"I'll just go pour us some tea, and then I want you to tell me everything that happened okay? And Angel... Please be nice to Mr. Carmine." Fluttershy said. Carmine just nodded and watched her walk to the kitchen. He was now alone with the rabbit known as Angel.

"Angel huh. I'm guessing you dont live up to your name." Carmine poked it. The bunny appareantly was able to understand all of the COG soldiers words as it proceeded to stomp its large rabbits feet on Carmine's helmet, clearly insulted. "Hey cut it out!" The soldier waved his arms around trying to counter the annoying bunny. But it was to fast.

So Carmine stood up, now atleast ten-million times larger then the bunny. (in Angel's eyes.) The rabbit was frozen in fear. Terrified, as the human slowly stretched out his muscular arm and grabbed it. "You're lucky I'm not frying you." Carmine opened a nearby window and simply tossed Angel as far away as possible. Problem solved. The COG soldier quickly closed the window and jumped back on the couch.

"I hope you like vanilla flavored tea... Where's Angel?" Fluttershy entered the room again.

Carmine was just chilling on the couch. "Oh, I think he went for a walk."

"Really... Angel really doesn't like going outside when it's dark... Maybe I should get him."

"Oh, whats the worst thing that can happen to cute little bunny like that."

"Well... We ARE right on the edge of the Everfree Forest..."

"Pff... What's so scary about a forest."

"The animals... They take care of theirselves..."

"Wow. I'm so scared."

"The clouds... They move on their own!"

"Isnt that normal?"

"And there's lots of scary creatures in the forest. Like manticores, hydras, timberwolves, chimeras, giant warthogs, cockatrices, basi...-" Fluttershy got interupted by Carmine.

"Woah woah. Did you just say giant warthogs?" Carmine said as took a sip from his tea.

"Uhm... How are you doing that?"

"Doing what?"

"How are you drinking tea with your helmet on?"

"How are you holding that cup without fingers?"

"... Nevermind. Anyway... Can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead."

"What's the story behind your cutie mark? It looks really beautiful."

"What the ... heck... is a cutie mark? Carmine asked confused not wanting to swear infront of the little pony. Fluttershy then pointed at her flank, it had a 'tattoo' revealing three small butterflies.

"A cutie mark is what a pony gets when he or she discovers their special talent."

"Well I'm not a pony, so I guess I dont have a cutie mark hehe."

"Then what is that?" Fluttershy poked Carmine's arm. He had a huge tattoo. A large sword across his arm. Two COG soldier helmets, and the words Anthony. Benjamin. R.I.P. underneath. He had another tattoo on his lower arm but was mostly covered by his gloves. It was a lancer with the words 'born to saw.'

"Oh that... That's just something to remind me..." Carmine's tone changed from being laid back to slightly sad.

"Remind you of what?" Fluttershy asked curiously.

"My brothers..."

"Oh... I'm sorry." Fluttershy just came to the realisation of what R.I.P. ment. "I shouldn't have asked..."

"Its fine..." Carmine said. "Dying for the COG is the greatest honor for us Carmines... It's just the way they went."

"What happened?" Fluttershy wasn't sure if she even wanted to know.

"Anthony... He joined Marcus's squad. When they headed towards the house of sovereigns... A locust sniper just blew his brains out when his weapon malfunctioned. A dog's death." Carmine laughed awkardly. Fluttershy remained silent.

"And then Ben... The squirt... He was so young. You know what happened to him?" Fluttershy shook her head.

"A GIANT FUCKING WORM ATE HIM! but noooo! that wasn't enough. He had to live through that hell atleast thirty more minutes while being digested alive and torn apart by Nemacytes. He even trie...-" Carmine had quit talking as he noticed Fluttershy was looking away.

"Please stop..." She asked with a teary voice. She was clearly crying. Carmine realised his emotions took over for a minute when he remembered both his brothers deaths.

"I'm sorry for that... I just get pissed of easily when I think of them... I didn't mean to scare you. I'm really sorry."

"Its okay... It must be really hard for you to lose somepony you care about." Fluttershy spoke silently.

"Someone." Carmine corrected her. "And yes it is... I just wish I could've spoken to them one last time. Anyway... I should get going now I guess."

"Oh no, you dont have to leave!"

"Yeeeeess I do, I don't wanna be a bother to you."

"Oh... If you really have to go. Make sure you go and meet Rarity in Carousel Boutique. I think Twilight had planned for you to stay over there... and she's always really stressed out if her plans dont work out."

"Carousel Boutique? Suuuure, I'll head there right away."

"I mean... If that's okay with you?"

"Yeah sure sure! I'll talk to you later Fluttershy!" Carmine left the cottage and the pegasus waved him off.

Only the COG soldier wasn't heading towards Carousel Boutique. Nope. He headed further into the forest, in search of a certain bunny.

Sweet Apple Acres.

Heavy was with Applejack. Twilight Sparkle figured it would be most logical the let the biggest human stay at the biggest place. Which would be Applejack's barn. The Russian accepted this and did as told.

"Yer gonna like it at the farm." Applejack said. "Ah'm sure ya gonna like Big Mac. He's a big guy just like you! an granny Smith makes the best applepie ya'll ever taste!"

Heavy looked around. This place was huge. Appletrees as far as he could see. "What is little pony's job here?" He asked.

"That's a fine question there. Ya see, me 'n ma brother. We buck apples."

"You? Apples... Heavy does not understand. Are you not girl pony?"

"Why the hay cant a mare buck apples?"

"I just dont see how is possible..."

"Well I'll show ya!" Applejack trotted towards the nearest tree and bucked it with all her might. The tree literally shook and apples started falling off instantly. All of them. "There! Best apple-bucker 'round." She bragged.

"Oh! You kick trees and apples come out! YAHAHA!" the Russian started laughing out loud.

"What the hay you laughing 'bout now?"

"Big misunderstanding. Is funny to me."

"Yer a strange fella Heavy. Ah'l introduce ya to the Apple-family tomorrow. Ya can probably use some rest dont ya?"

"Da."

"Then let me show ya around."

Applejack gave a short tour of the barn. It wasn't really that big. There were just mostly farm supplies lying around, however there was a large bed in a corner next to some bales of hay. "Mah little sister made this bed all on her own, Ya'll get to meet her later as well. Do ya like it?"

"Hmmm... is good." Heavy made it sound as if he was dissapointed. But Applejack knew he was telling the truth.

"Uhh... Ah'll get you something to drink before ya hit the hay."

"Da..." Heavy placed Sasha on the ground as he sat himself on the bed. He watched Applejack leave the barn. The Russian sighed loudly and proceeded to sob. "Comrade..." He then started crying softly.

Applejack came back five minutes later holding a large glass. "Ah hope ya like applejuice!" she then noticed the large human being sad. "What's ta matter with ya pardner?"

Heavy got startled as the little pony suddenly entered the farrm. He quickly dried his few tears. "Oh... Is nothing important. You did not see me."

"Ah can tell exactly when yer lying! now spit it out!" Applejack said harshly.

"... I lost comrade when I came to this strange world." Heavy continued sobbing.

"Ya lost somepony?" Applejack sworn she could hear a small violin playing.

"Da... He was comrade, friend and credit to team. But only Heavy liked him... Now he is alone."

"That sounds horrible!"

"It is not good no... I am not sure I will ever see him again."

"Aw shucks. Ah wish ah could help ya. But ya'll gotta wait for the princess. Ah'm sure she'll find ya'll a way home."

"Da... Maybe."

Applejack felt bad for the human, he seemed genuinely upset about leaving his friend behind. She trotted over to the human and stared him right in the eyes.

"What's yer friend's name then."

"Name is... Sandvich!"

"Ah beg yer pardon?"

"Sandvich is comrade."

"Ya mean we're sitting here bein' all emotional an whatnot for a sandwich?"

Heavy suddenly jumped up and looked furious. "What did pony say?"

"Uhh... It seems awfully silly bein' sad for a sandwich ya know... Ah mean... Ah can make ya one right now." Applejack answered nervously.

"You think Sandvich would be same! Sandvich home is magical! how dare little pony insult Sandvich!"

"Ah mean it's just a sandwich, what's so magical about it."

"SANDVICH EVEN HAD BIG MOVIE DEAL UNLIKE PUNY PYRO!"

"Ah!" Applejack cowered before the shouting Russian.

"You know what Heavy does to people that mock him?" Heavy kneeled down before the pony grinning madly.

"Uhh... Do ah wanna know?"

"Heavy crushes all. Everything. No matter how big and strong. Heavy will destroy it."

"Yer not gonna crush me right?"

"HA! you are not people, you are little pony."

"So yer not mad?" Applejack asked even though she felt slightly insulted.

"Njet. If I can tolerate puny RED scout. Then Heavy is sure he can tolerate little mocking pony. I also told pony princess Heavy would only crush pony enemies."

"Phew that's good to know. Ya were scaring me to be honest. Ah'm sorry ah uhh... insulted yer sandwich. Can we just forget 'bout this?"

"Is all good little pony. Now let Heavy rest. I wonder if comrade Carmine is back yet."

"Ah'm sure Rainbow dragged his lazy behind back already. Now ah'm off to bed as well. There's more work to be done tomorrow."

"Good sleep apple-pony."

"Good night to ya as well Heavy."

____________

Ponyville Library.

"What do you mean you lost him Rainbow!" Twilight shouted at her friend after finding out one of the humans was missing.

"Oh yeah... he was pretty fast you know." Rainbow Dash answered.

"Fast? You're the fastest flyer in Ponyville!"

"Yeaaah, and he was able to camouflage himself very well."

"Camouflage? He's completly dressed in blue while in a green environment! Were you even trying Rainbow Dash?"

"Pffft... No not really..." The blue pegasus giggled.

"Do you have any idea what the princess will do to me if she finds out that I already messed everything up on the first day!"

"Oh come on Twi. You're overreacting again. She isn't gonna banish you for anything geez. And we'll just look for that Carmine guy tomorrow. I mean... What's the worst thing that can happen? Besides didn't the princess told you that we should especially keep an eye out on that one?" Rainbow Dash pointed at the last of the three humans.

Ulfgar wasn't even listening to the ponies conversation. He had found something far more interesting. A refrigerator light. "By the gods... I have never seen this magic before!" he said amazed.

"It's just a fridge weirdo!" The blue pegasus shouted. The dovakhiin didn't seem to hear it.

"Rainbow! You can't just go around insulting everypony." Twilight was still angry.

"He's not a pony Twilight! he's just some strange talking monkey."

Twilight facehooved. "Look Rainbow... I know we're in a weird situation right now. But we promised the princess we would help them. Remember that Discord is still loose, and we need to do whatever we can to stop him."

"Ughh... so we're stuck babysitting some humans. Why dont we just go and stop Discord ourselves."

"We can't just do that. I'm sure the princesses will ask our help eventually. We'll just have to be patient for now."

"Discord huh..." Ulfgar suddenly appeared next to the two ponies. "Tell me more of this Discord."

And so Twilight did. She told him of how the princesses defeated Discord in the past using the Elements of Harmony, turning him to stone. After they lost their connection to the elements Discord broke free from his imprisonment. He then succeeded in causing chaos once again, naming Ponyville the chaos capital of Equestria. Untill he faced off against the purple unicorn and her friends. Now representing the Elements of Harmony they were able to seal him in stone once again. Untill now.

"So this Discord... He proclaims himself to be a god of chaos?" Ulfgar asked.

"Well yeah. And he's most likely the most dangerous being in Equestria." Twilight answered.

"Then what would you think would be more powerful... A strange looking goat that cowers behind his magic. Naming himself lord or god of chaos. Disgusting." Ulfgar spat on the ground.

"Uhm... Could you please not spit on my floor?" Twilight asked nervously. Ulfgar just continued talking.

"Or does this sound more powerful. A giant dragon named Alduin. Proclaimed by my people to be the Nordic God of Destruction. He nearly destroyed everything in Skyrim..."

"Well if you put it that way the dragon sounds more dangerous..." Twilight said.

"And what if I told you I had slain that dragon... Then surely I can defeat this god of chaos as well." Ulfgar laughed.

"What? You didn't kill a dragon." Rainbow Dash didn't believe him.

"Fine. Then don't believe me. Even though we saved your princess from one just a few days ago."

"No you didn't. The Royal Guard were able to take him down."

"Yes, the magnificent Royal Guard. Surely those golden ponies can take down an Ancient dragon. I am the Dovakhiin. Dragonborn. Devourer of their souls. Just remember that."

"Now you just sound creepy... weirdo..." Rainbow said silently.

"Uhmm... So you go around... killing every dragon you see?" Twilight asked concerned of her baby dragon assistant Spike whom Ulfgar hadn't met yet.

"Oh no no, don't get me wrong. I cleanse evil. Not just dragons. And I guess Paarthurnax and Odahviing were two nice dragons."

"Oh that's great! you just had me worried for a second."

"Why?"

"Well since there's a dragon right here."

"By the gods! A dragon? Is it an Ancient one? Or a frost dragon?"

"Uhh no, its just a baby dragon."

"A baby dragon?" The dovakhiin had in his travels never encountered a young dragon. He did not know what to expect. "Does he speak the Thu'um yet?" Ulfgar asked curiously.

"I don't know what a 'thuum' is... But he can talk just like you and me. Would you like to meet him?" Twilight gestured Ulfgar to follow her up the stairs.

"By Ysgromar... What dangers await me now?" the dovakhiin thought to himself. Rainbow Dash was slowly flying behind him.

Ulfgar had no idea how this house worked. It was a library, house and even a tree. Where will this magical staircase lead them next. Appareantly to a new floor. Twilight entered a door on the left.

"Spike could you come over for a second." She asked.

"Whats wrong Twilight? I'm busy baking, you know that." The dragon had a girly voice.

"I want you to meet somepony."

"Ughh... fine fine. I'll come over."

Spike turned towards Twilight as he noticed Rainbow Dash flying up behind her. "You want me to meet Rainbow Dash?"

"Nope. She wants you to meet that guy." Rainbow answered as suddenly the dovakhiin stepped through the small door on two legs just as the dragon. He was twice as large as anypony and carried a sword equally as big. He was completely dressed in iron armor and wore a terrifying looking horned helmet.

"Spike. This is Ulfgar, He'll be staying with us for a while just as the princess asked." Twilight said to Spike. The dovakhiin stared down the baby dragon and chuckled soflty.

"Uhh.. Hi there..." Spike said nervously.

"What is this?" Ulfgar asked.

"Well this is Spike... A baby dragon." Twilight answered.

"A dragon? I have seen many things in my life. But this is no dragon."

"I am a dragon!" Spike suddenly yelled.

"What pathetic excuse for a dragon are you? Is that... Are you wearing a pink apron?"

Rainbow Dash suddenly burst out into laughter.

"Rainbow! He's insulting Spike! dont just laugh at that!" Twilight said annoyed to the blue pegasus.

"Oh but Twi! That apron is just ridiculous, I'm glad he brought it up." Rainbow said still laughing. Spike and Ulfgar continued their arguement.

"Well I can't bake without an apron can I? What if I burn myself? Spike said.

"You're a bloody dragon right? You cant even burn yourself!"

"... Oh that's right!" Spike threw away the apron.

Ulfgar laughed out loud and enjoyed messing with the dragon. "Every dragon I met this far was able to breath fire. Surely this Argonian hatchling can't do that."

"Oh you just wait and see!" Spike took a step back and took a large breath. He summoned what he thought would be the most violent flames ever produced by any dragon. But in reality it was just a small puff of green fire.

"There. That shut you up didnt it." Spike bragged. Ulfgar and Rainbow Dash now started rolling of the floor laughing. Twilight just sighed.

"Oh by the gods... I haven't laughed this hard since that mammoth suddenly started flying." Ulfgar rubbed away a single tear he produced from laughing at this poor performance of a dragon's fire breath. "The green flames are new to me... But let me show you a TRUE dragon's flames."

"YOL TOOR SHUL!" Spike blacked out.

Sweet Apple Acres. The next morning.

Applejack had woken up fairly early. She kept thinking of Carmine who ran off yesterday after that unfortunate incident. She just hoped he wasn't mad or anything at Lyra. Or that he'd ran into any trouble. She hopped out of bed determined to find him.

"Ah'l better wake Heavy an go check if that Carmine fella went to Rarity as planned. Works gonna have ta wait for a while." Applejack sighed.

She left house as quiet as possible. Everyone else was still sleeping and she didn't want to wake anypony. She trotted towards the barn where Heavy was sleeping with a slow pace. She then suddenly heard some strange noises and rushed in.

"What the hay is goin' on here?" She shouted.

"Nmnmmmmmaaa..." Heavy was still lying in his bed, his back facing Applejack.

"Are you still sleeping?"

"Kiss me baby!" Heavy suddenly started making smooching noises.

"Ah beg yer pardon?

"Kiss me!"

"Ah aint kissing ya! now get out of bed ya slacker!"

Applejack was frustrated and bucked the Russian. He didn't budge. She walked around the bed angrily where she encountered Heavy cuddled up with his large mini-gun... Still sleeping. The earth pony facehooved and tried waking him again. More gently now she poked him in his face.

"Forward, glorious cart!" The Russian opened his eyes, jumped up and started shouting. Applejack wasn't even surprised from this randomness at this point.

"Come on big guy, let's go look for yer friend Carmine." She said.

"Oh yes. I am in little pony world. Is still very confusing." Heavy picked up Sasha and followed the orange pony.

"Ah'l introduce ya to the family later... Ah just have a feelin' something bad is gonna happen."

"I am sure future man can take care of self."

"Well yeah but he's not the one ah'm worried about. He seemed awfully mad last time we saw him." Applejack said to Heavy who only grunted in response. "Twi said she planned for him to stay at Rarity's. So lets head down to Carousel Boutique first."

___________

Carousel Boutique

Rarity was also up early. Well, her sleep was rudely interupted by her younger sister. Sweetie Belle.

"Rarity Rarity!" The young unicorn jumped around happily. "When do I get to meet the humans?"

"Ugh... I'm not sure why he didn't show up." Rarity answered while still yawning.

"But Scootaloo already played with the humans!"

"Yes yes... I'm certain you'll get to meet one soon enough Sweetie Belle."

"You promise sis?"

"Sure. I'll promise."

"Alright! then I'll make breakfast!"

"Please dont!" Rarity shouted. But it was to late. Sweetie Belle hopped to the kitchen and started throwing with pots and pans. Rarity could only await to see what terrible cuisine she would brew today. Her attention then shifted to the doorbell which suddenly rang. "Cooooming!" She said with a sweet voice.

She opened the door and saw her friend Applejack and the human known as Heavy.

"Applejack my dear! whats brings you and your... friend here so early this morning?"

"We were just wondering if Carmine showed up here yesterday." Applejack asked.

"Oh yes... the human. He never came here."

"What? Then where the hay is he?"

"I'm not sure... Maybe Rainbow Dash dragged him over to Twilight?"

"Ah dont know. What if he's in the forest or something?"

"Maybe comrade Carmine is lost somewhere." Heavy joined in.

"Yeah... Let's check out the Library first though... Are ya coming with us Rarity?" AJ asked Rarity.

"... The forest? Get my hooves dirty? I dont think so dear... I'm certain you and Twilight can handle this." The purple maned unicorn answered.

"Well okay then... Just let us know if ya see something."

"Will do! have fun on your little adventure!" Rarity closed the door and trotted back to the living room. Sweetie Belle also entered the room holding a burnt glass of milk.

"Who was that?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Oh just Applejack and one of the humans." Rarity answered casually.

"WHAT?!" Sweetie Belle dropped the glass and sprinted outside. "Where did they go!"

"Oh I can't remember." Rarity teased.

Sweetie Belle was dissapointed, but returned back inside to finish her terrible cooking.

______

Heavy and Applejack had meanwhile reached the Ponyville Library. "What the hay happened here?" Applejack shouted as they got closer. Twilight Sparkle was just chilling outside with Rainbow Dash and the dovakhiin.

"Nothing?" Twilight said.

"Oh... Ah just figured something would've gone wrong."

"Well it almost did! Ulfgar nearly burned down the library yesterday! he used what he refers to as 'Dragon Shouts' or the 'Thu'um' to literally breath fire!"

"W-what? Then why is yer library still standing?"

"Because I was prepared!" Twilight bragged. "You see, I sealed the library with anti-fire spells the day before."

"Oh good thinking of ya then Twi!"

"Unfortunatly it did scare Spike quitte a bit. But Ulfgar promised it wouldn't happen again. Right?" She looked at the dragonborn.

"Yes, ofcourse. And I always keep my promises." Ulfgar said.

"I still can't believe you can breath fire! that is so awesome!" Rainbow Dash added.

Twilight turned to Applejack again. "I can see mr. Heavy is still with you... And Ulfgar is here... But where's the last one?"

"Ah came here to ask ya the same thing. He aint at Rarity so he must be wandering 'round here somewhere."

"You see Rainbow! If you weren't so careless last night we wouldn't be in this mess." Twilight said.

"Pffft... We'll find him in no time for sure." Rainbow Dash was certain.

"Ah propose we ask Fluttershy next, she lives next to the forest. She might've seen him walking 'round." Applejack looked at the group. They all nodded and took off.

_____

Fluttershy's cottage.

Fluttershy hadn't been able to sleep all night. After Carmine left her house she went looking for Angel. He never returned. She was shouting for her pet for hours. When the darkness of the night started to fade she was able to properly look for clues. She quickly found some bunny traces. But they were leading towards the Everfree Forest. A place where Fluttershy would rather not go alone to. She also noticed the large human's feetprints following the bunnies steps. Also into the forest.

"Hey Fluttershy!" A voice from behind startled the cream colored pegasus. She turned around and looked as Twilight, Rainbow, Applejack, Heavy and Ulfgar stepped in her frontyard.

"Oh Twilight I don't know what to do. Angel has been gone all night and I can't stop but worrying." Fluttershy peeped.

"Calm down Fluttershy. Tell us exactly what happened." Twilight said.

So she told of how she found Carmine sneaking in her yard last night. How they had drunk tea together, that he told of his brothers and then left. After that she went and looked for Angel all night. She then pointed out the human's and Angel's footprints leading into the forest.

"Then it looks like we're going to have to get into the forest... There's alot of dangerous creatures that lurk there. Are you all prepared?" Twilight asked.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash were more then ready. Fluttershy was scared but determined to find her pet bunny. Ulfgar and Heavy just laughed, not worried at all at what they might encounter.

"Then let's go!"

______

Approximately two minutes further into the Everfree Forest.

Carmine was enjoying a tasty snack. "Nom Nom. Best meat i've had in ages." He said. The COG soldier had made a small camp in the Everfree Forest. A lovely place to rest next to a large tree. A sparkling campfire with the remains of the beast he had slain next to it. There was also blood. Alot of it. He was about to take another bite from this deliciousness but was interupted.

"Carmine..." The dovakhiin stood before him.

"Oh hey Ulfy. Want a bite?" Carmine then noticed Heavy as well and three ponies that looked as if they'd just seen a ghost. One not so much.

"Did you... eat Fluttershy's rabbit?" Ulfgar asked Carmine.

"What? Hell no! This is just some stupid warthog I found. It's no bacon but it'll do for now. The bunny is over there. I was gonna bring him back when I finished up here." Carmine pointed to the right where Angel was sitting on a rock. Casually eating a carrot.

"OH ANGEL!" Fluttershy was still disgusted by Carmine and what he was doing. But she felt overjoyed with happiness when she held her pet bunny in her hooves again.

"Ughh... Ah think ah'm getting sick." Applejack said.

"Big deal! I've seen Gilda eat fish all the time"! Rainbow added. She wasn't really bothered.

"Yes, but when Gilda eats a fish she's usually not completely covered in its blood." Twilight felt as if she needed to throw up.

"Carmine... We promised the princess we would not break her rules." The dovakhiin started getting serious.

"I never agreed to the last rule. Besides, why do you care what I do."

"The princess... She would get us back home if we helped her... It's just been three days and you already broke her rules." Ulfgar unsheathed his greatsword.

"Oh yeah? What are you gonna do about it?" Carmine stood up and taunted the dovakhiin.

"Like I said... All that oppose my in my quest home... will be destroyed." Ulfgar swung his sword towards Carmine. It hit him in the side. Though the blade did not penetrate through the COG soldier's armor he definitly felt the bone crushing power of the blade's weight.

Carmine took a step back and felt to his side. Nothing was broken yet. He pulled out his lancer and got ready for combat. "It's on now asshole!"

"Please stop this!" Twilight shouted.

"Heavy! Ya gotta stop those two before they kill each other!" Applejack asked Heavy.

"Da! Heavy will teach little men to have respect." He stepped towards Ulfgar and Carmine but was stopped when he heard Fluttershy screaming in fear.

"M-manticore!" She shouted as one of those creatures appeared behind the ponies. Growling as the savage beast it was. This one was nothing like the manticore they've encountered on their first adventure. It was nearly twice as large, including its poisonous tail. It was missing a left eye and had a large scar there instead. The manticore was licking his lips and started approaching its prey, which unfortunatly was Fluttershy and Angel.

"Oh, this is not good situation at all." Heavy sighed.

_______

Chapter eight. Brace yourselves. Chaos is coming.

Heavy realised the seriousness of the current situation. Ulfgar and Carmine looked as if they were going to kill each other. And a strange looking creature called a manticore suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It was even larger then Heavy and started heading towards the frightened pegasus Fluttershy. The Russian reviewed the situation. Should he stop Ulfgar and Carmine? Or save the ponies from the rampaging beast.

"Is easy decision." Heavy decided to the take the second option. He knew both humans were tough. Even if they fought each other, they wouldn't just die easily. Besides, with Sasha at his side that manticore will never stand a chance. Heavy turned around and sprinted towards Fluttershy. He was able to reach her before the growling beast did. The Russian blocked the large manticore's path.

"Little pony stay behind me. Heavy will crush big kitty with Sasha." He started warming up his mini-gun.

"No please!" Fluttershy suddenly shouted.

"Go now shy pony! Heavy will do this fast."

"Please... You can't just kill it..." The pink-maned pegasus said in a sad tone.

"...What?" Heavy stopped Sasha. He couldn't believe what he just heard. "What did Flutterpony say?"

"You can't just kill it!" She said more serious now.

"I do not understand. Does pony understand big cat will eat you then?"

"Yeah Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash started pulling her back. "Just let him kill it! we have other things to worry about." Rainbow pointed towards the two humans who were now in full combat. Carmine had gained some distance now and fired some bullets from his lancer towards the dovakhiin. Most were missed and some even deflected by Ulfgar's large sword. Applejack and Twilight Sparkle took cover behind a large tree.

The manticore now stepped right infront of Heavy. His attention was focussed on the other ponies for a second so he had no time to dodge the massive swipe it delivered with its giant claw. The Russian dropped his mini-gun and sunglasses, then fell to the ground. Once again the Russian's nose started bleeding which infuriated him, but he knew he had to gain some distance to destroy this annoying beast. He quickly rolled aside and retrieved Sasha. He then rushed at the manticore smashing his mini-gun in its stomach. The beast was affected by this as it began to stagger slightly. The manticore then roared and swung its tail towards Heavy which he then skillfully deflected with his mini-gun. Heavy rammed his gun against the manticore's face now. It was launched backwards slightly and fell to the ground. Heavy took this chance and grabbed both ponies with his large hand, dragging them with him to regain some distance. He then regrouped at where Applejack and Twilight were hiding.

"What does pony mean I can not kill?" Heavy asked Fluttershy who was still shivering.

"I... I just dont want anypony or anyone to die... not even that scary manticore." She peeped.

"Fluttershy... you do realise that manticore wants to eat us right?" Twilight said.

"Ah know ya don't like seein' anypony get hurt. But ah think it's the best decision for now... we can't just leave those two behind!" Applejack added.

"Fluttershy! It's either that manticore or us!" Rainbow yelled.

"But... but... there must be some way..." Fluttershy couldn't bear the thought of seeing anything in pain or even worse death.

Heavy did not understand a thing of this. This little pony. She wouldn't see something killed even if her life would depend on it. The Russian wondered... that since his life revolved around dying, maybe he had forgotten its meaning. If he died... He would always come back, no matter what. But in this world there is no respawn. These creatures... if they'd die. What would happen to them? Heavy never thought about this up untill now. And since he's in this world, would even he be able to truly die? Heavy didn't know. But he made up his mind.

"Little ponies stay behind now..." Heavy put his mini-gun on the ground. "Ponies take good care of Sasha."

"What are ya gonna do?" Applejack asked.

"Heavy will crush beast without killing." He cracked his knuckles and peeked behind the trees. The manticore was back on its feet now. "Heavy will finish this quickly... Then we help other comrades." He jumped from his cover and started charging towards the roaring beast. Unarmed.

______

"You're a fucking asshole you know that?" Carmine shouted as he kept running back further. Now far away from the Heavy and the ponies.

"And you will not stand in my way of returning to Skyrim!" Ulfgar was following the COG soldier. Just not quitte as fast.

Carmine jumped behind a tree and fired about ten rounds towards the dovakhiin. Ulfgar rolled to the side avoiding all shots. "Coward!" he yelled annoyed at the COG soldier's way of fighting.

"Shut up! I'm not getting close to you with that freakin' sword and weird magic." Carmine shouted back as he continued gaining distance on Ulfgar.

"I wonder..." The dovakhiin took a large breath.

"RAAN MIR TAH!" He shouted the dragon words for Animal Allegiance Pack. A shout used to command nearby wildlife to aid him in battle.

Suddenly distant howling could be heard. And three pairs of bright yellow eyes suddenly emerged from the darkness of the forest. Then slowly revealing three wolves, still howling. They appeared to be completely covered in wood. If one had to name these creatures, they would most certainly be called 'Timberwolves'.

"Go now. Attack!" the dovakhiin commanded the timberwolves as he pointed towards their target.

The COG soldier paused to take a breath. This would be a great time to grab his gnasher shotgun. Camp behind a tree, and blast anyone's brain out who passes him. He kneeled down, exposing himself as little as possible and remained silent. He couldn't hear Ulfgar anymore. But there was something else. He heard several creatures growling, they were surrounding him. It reminded of him of a pack of wretches back on Sera. The growling started getting louder and the first of the wolves revealed himself to Carmine. It started barking insanely and jumped straight at the COG soldier. Carmine stretched out both arms and grabbed the approaching wolf by its neck. He then slammed it against a nearby tree. The beast howled in pain but it wasn't finished yet. Before Carmine was able to slam the wolf again, he got jumped by a second one, biting him in the arm. It startled the COG soldier, causing him to lose grip on the beast he was holding. He then enraged, kicked his attacker against its jaw rolled to the side and grabbed his gnasher shotgun. His arm was bleeding heavily but Carmine has had worse. Much worse. The three wolves regrouped and started circling the COG soldier.

"Come at me!" he shouted. The wolf that had been slammed by Carmine was out looking for revenge. The beast growled one last time before it made its move. The wolf leaped towards Carmine fully exposing its sharp teeth hoping to intimidate its prey. The COG soldier was not impressed. He pointed his shotgun at the incoming wolf and pulled the trigger. The beast simply exploded when the shells hit their target. The two remaining wolves jumped back and cowered after witnessing this.

Carmine checked his ammo. forty-three shells left, three-hundred and fifty rounds for his lancer and one frag grenade. More then enough for now. "Who's next!" He taunted the wolves.

But the timberwolves were not stupid. If they'd rush right in right now, they'd face the same fate as their fellow wolf. The beasts split up, one remained in front of the human and the other tried to approach him from behind. Carmine once again wasn't impressed. He once fought off thirty wretches on his own, bare-handed. He was able to lift up seven ft locusts with just one arm and choke them to death. These wolves had no idea who they were messing with. The COG soldier remained focussed on the wolf infront of him. The one behind now saw its chance, it jumped towards the careless soldier attempting to once again bite his arm. The wolf succeeded, but Carmine just laughed. Its fangs were weak compared to what he faced on Sera. Bloodmounts, tickers and even wretches were so much more deadly. The wolf was now within the COG soldier's reach and Carmine did what he does best. Kill it. He used his free hand to blast the second wolf to bits. He then threw down his shotgun, cracked his knuckles and slowly approached the final beast. It had its tail behind its legs and was whimpering in fear.

"BOO!" Carmine yelled. The final timberwolf ran off like a cowardly dog. Leaving a laughing COG soldier behind. But the laughter soon stopped as Ulfgar suddenly stormed out with his greatsword, once again landing a devastating hit against Carmine's side. It once again didn't penetrate his armor, but it definitly hurt. Carmine rolled to cover, his shotgun was out of reach but he still had his lancer. He shot a few rounds at Ulfgar who was but a few feet away, but the dovakhiin deflected each bullet with his giant sword.

"What the hell is that thing even made of!" Carmine shouted annoyed.

"This is Skyforge steel. The finest in all of Skyrim." The dovakhiin rushed at Carmine with the blade he just described. He now swung it with full force towards Carmine unarmored neck. But the COG soldier stopped the blade with his lancer, deflecting it to the side and causing it to get stuck in a tree. Carmine then stomped Ulfgar to the ground and placed his left foot on the dovakhiin's chest. He aimed his lancer at the dragonborn.

"Looks like I win." Carmine said.

Heavy approached the manticore, not a moment of hesitation went through his mind. The Russian fought vicious bears from Siberia in the past with an old friend, with just their bare hands. Though this manticore was much larger, Heavy was still certain he could take it on without any problems. But the beast was not interested in Heavy. It considered the small ponies a lovely snack to fill up on before dinner. So the manticore started taking a sprint towards the ponies passing the Russian.

"Njet! Дерись с честью!" Heavy shouted as he stopped the manticore by grabbing its tail. He pulled the creature back and delivered a devastating punch with his right fist. He definitly felt a crack, but the manticore was now enraged even further. It roared furiously and attempted to do the same with the Russian. But Heavy was able to dodge the incoming claw, barely. The Russian was known for his physical strength and endurance, speed and agility were something more up Scout's alley. Luckily the manticore wasn't a speed demon either, so all was good for now. The Russian proceeded to slam both large fists into the beast's stomach area. The manticore had the wind knocked out of it and struggled to breath. It fell down to the ground. Heavy still didn't feel like killing it since Fluttershy seemed so upset.

"Now is good time to run little coward kitty!" The Russian laughed out loud. But the manticore didn't plan on running just yet. It stood up growling more fearsome then ever before. It swiped its left paw towards Heavy but was simply blocked by his hand. The manticore followed with his right claw but ended with the same result.

"До свидания!" Heavy grinned and prepared to deliver a fatal blow, knocking the beast out. But the manticore chuckled as well. It had the human exactly where it wanted him to be. Both arms were occupied which left him open for attacks. The manticore raised its tail which Heavy completely forgot about. It swung towards the Russian with no time for him to dodge. It easily penetrated through the human's barely armored attire in his stomach. Heavy was used to the pain, but he felt poison slowly enter his body from the the scorpion-like tail.

"Oh... so... sleepy..." Heavy yawned as he started to kneel down, releasing the manticore's claws. The beast laughed. It knew the human wasn't going anywhere now. So it took this chance to quickly fill up on some ponies before finishing off his main course. The manticore left the Russian behind and charged towards the four ponies.

"Oh dear... This isn't good." Twilight said as she saw the approaching manticore and defeated Heavy.

"...This is all my fault... I'm so sorry... I didn...-" Fluttershy was interrupted.

"That can wait Fluttershy! We gotta help those guys!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Rainbow's right, we can't leave Heavy an' those other two behind..." Applejack said as she pulled out her rope, quickly creating a lasso.

The manticore now rushed through the trees. It was right infront of the four ponies now. Its face covered in drool and blood. Twilight Sparkle quickly used her magic to create a force field around herself and her friends. The manticore attempted to crush it but failed. He continued swiping the purple barrier.

"I can't keep this shield up for long!" Twilight said as she forced herself to keep it up. "Fluttershy? Is there anything you can do?"

"I... I dont think so Twilight..." She answered, frightened of the rampaging beast.

"Well... I think I can teleport three of us away from here... You think you can fly off by yourself Rainbow?" Twilight asked.

"What? I'm not running away!" Rainbow yelled.

"Ah agree Twi... It wouldn't be right to leave em." Applejack added.

"I didn't mean we need to run away... We just need to come up with a plan, and we can't do that here when a giant manticore is pounding on my force-field!" Twilight said irritated. Her magic started failing. The barrier shattered and the manticore's claw grabbed for them inside. The ponies quickly dispersed from the shattered force-field but one remained. Fluttershy was staring the the manticore right in the eye. Unfortunatly her always reliable 'stare' had no effect on the rampaging beast. It prepared to deliver a finishing blow to the frightened pegasus, but was interrupted.

"UUUUUUUUUUUURRARIAAA!!" a barely conscious Heavy suddenly appeared behind the manticore yelling like a madman. He grabbed the manticore larger then himself from behind, lifted the creature up and delivered a fatal german supplex. A wrestling move he had learned during his travels in Siberia from a man that would only refer himself to as 'The Red Cyclone'. The beast was knocked out when his head and upper back connected with the forest floor. Unfortunatly so was Heavy. The poison was spreading throughout his body and needed to be properly handled.

"Alright then! no time to lose. Twilight! ya take Heavy here with yer magic and get him out the forest. Take Fluttershy with ya so she can patch him back up." Applejack suddenly took charge.

"Then what are you going to do?" Twilight asked.

"Me an' RD are gonna get back those other two. Ya just make sure Heavy gets safe." Applejack said and all ponies agreed. Twilight teleported herself, Heavy, Fluttershy and her pet to outside the forest. Fluttershy's cottage to be exact. Rainbow Dash and Applejack remained in the Everfree Forest.

"Are ya ready Dash?" Applejack asked.

"Ha! As always." Rainbow Dash was more then ready. With that the two ponies took off in the direction they last saw the two humans.

Twilight, Heavy, Fluttershy and Angel arrived safely at the cottage. Fluttershy immediatly started treating to Heavy's wounds as she felt responsible for what happened to him. Twilight was trotting around in circles nervously.

"Can you handle things by yourself here Fluttershy?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, I'll make sure Mr. Heavy gets better no matter what! then what are you going to do Twilight?" Fluttershy said.

"I'm getting help!" Twilight sprinted off towards her library. She would teleport herself, but maintaining that barrier earlier plus teleporting just now made her reach her magical limits. So its the earth pony way for now.

Carmine laughed victorious while looking down on the dovakhiin who was forced to the ground. "Just one bullet... or a single cut from my saw... and its all over." Carmine had his weapon pointed at Ulfgar.

"And you are a fool to underestimate me! FUS RO DAH!" Ulfgar's trademark shout simply launched the COG soldier away. He was thrown with his back against a nearby tree nearly knocking him out cold. Ulfgar went and retrieved his blade which was still stuck within a tree, then approached Carmine who now sat infront of another tree, cleary affected by the dragon shout to the face. He placed his large blade against the COG soldier's neck.

"Carmine... why did you do this?" Ulfgar asked.

"I'm not living my life without meat..." Carmine responded silently. He was still abit dizzy from flying a second ago.

"But it was just temporary! the princess will surely bring send us back after we...-" Ulfgar got interrupted by Carmine who started laughing.

"Then you're a a bigger idiot then me for believing that... dont you get it man... we died."

No... I refuse to believe that. If I were dead I would be among my ancestors in Sovngarde. I will hold my faith in the princess's promise. And you... you will pay the price for your foolishness."

"What are you gonna do then huh?"

"When I became harbringer of the companions... I've created a rule that applied to each and everyone of them. If a companion would be caught stealing, we would cut off a certain amount of fingers depending on what they stole... for the crimes you commited... there are not enough fingers... So your hand will suffice." The dovakhiin laughed diabolically.

"Heh. Fuck you ashhole. I wasn't even going to hurt you... just put you in your place." Carmine then attempted to roll away but was blocked by the dovakhiin's legs. He kicked Carmine against the tree once again and prepared to deliver his punishment.

"Mercy is something for the weak... Untill I return to Skyrim... Don't expect it from me. May the go...-" Ulfgar stopped midsentence as he suddenly started coughing up some amounts of blood. A side effect from using multiple dragon shouts in a short time period. His body would simply start rejecting the the massive amounts of power he had stored within.

Carmine took this oppurtunity to release himself from the dovakhiin's grip and punched him in the face three times. The COG soldier then kicked Ulfgar ground once again. He quickly picked up his lancer and started revving his chainsaw. He stepped on the dovakhiin's chest.

"You fucked up yourself this time. Now don't expect mercy from me either!" Carmine's lancer got closer by the second.

"F...-" Ulfgar was about to use another dragon shout but it was not needed. The pony known as Applejack appeared behind Carmine and used a lasso to disarm him. And a incredibly fast blue blur kicked Carmine against the helmet, knocking him back slightly.

"THE FUCKING HEAD! QUIT THAT SHIT SERIOUSLY!" Carmine yelled annoyed after getting hit in the head for the hundredth time.

"Would ya two stop this nonsense!" Applejack shouted.

"He fucking started it!" Carmine answered.

"Oh yeah? Then why were you eating meat then huh?" Rainbow Dash poked the COG soldier.

"Yeah! ya think ya could just do that sort of thing around without us noticing?" Applejack said.

"I fucking ate meat because thats what freaking humans do! how would you like if you came you my world... and Chairman fucking Prescott would tell you that you couldn't eat any damn apples huh? How would you feel about that."

"...Uhh... Ah guess ah wouldn't like that no... but its just not normal 'round here... eatin' meat." Applejack said.

"Well deal with it, cause I'm not stopping." Carmine stated.

"Do no worry ponies... I'll show this man to obey the rules." Ulfgar stood before Carmine once again with his blade ready.

"You see! I told you! this guy is fucking crazy!" Carmine was unarmed. His gnasher shotgun was still lying around somewhere where he fought the timberwolves. His lancer got taken by Applejack. He still had a Bolo frag grenade. But didn't find much use for it in this situation. Even if he got close enough to plant it on Ulfgar, Carmine would never be able to get away quick enough. And neither would the two ponies who were oblivious to modern technology, so it wasn't an option. Carmine rolled backwards avoiding the incoming slices from Ulfgar's sword but they kept getting closer by the second.

"Uhh Ulfgar... Would you mind... oh I dont know... quit trying to kill Carmine!" Rainbow Dash yelled at the dovakhiin.

"He must pay for his crimes!" Ulfgar answered. He then attempted to slice Carmine again. He now just barely grazed the COG soldier's unarmored left arm, leaving a small cut.

"Oh fuck!" Carmine jumped back further realizing he nearly lost his arm. He saw that Ulfgar was preparing for a large strike. "It's now or never." Carmine thought to himself. He now jumped towards the dovakhiin, dodging his mighty slash by just an inch. He then delivered a devastating elbow strike agains the dragonborn's arm causing Ulfgar to drop his blade.

What started in a gun versus sword fight now evolved into a fist fight. Both Carmine and Ulfgar were relentlessly punching each other all unarmored places. The neck and arms mostly. The two ponies begged them to stop but there was nothing they could do against these two behemoths.

The dovakhiin still had destructive magic up his sleeve. But he enjoyed this fight far to much. Ulfgar loved a challenge, and Carmine definitly proved himself worthy off battle. Even now, with both his arms bleeding and after getting blown away by a fus ro dah he held his ground. Plus the COG soldier came close to killing the dovakhiin twice. That's not something many could say. But every great battle needs a winner. Both humans started getting exhausted and prepared for a final destructive punch.

"Stop this madness!" Carmine and Ulfgar were both suddenly thrown aside by an unknown force of magic. Suddenly Princess Celestia herself and Twilight Sparkle appeared.

Twilight Sparkle had upon returning to her library ordered Spike to immediatly send a message to the princess notifying her of the events that just occured. The princess didn't even hesitate and came over immediatly to put a stop to this personally.

"Princess! This man here... He broke your rules, he has eaten meat. I was just about to pass judgement on him." Ulfgar said.

"And who gave you the right to do such a thing." Celestia spoke seriously.

"But Princess, the rules... surely he must be punished."

"I've made that rule without properly thinking it through. I had no idea it would cause such a drama. It was my mistake to deny you three of your natural diet, so I will allow it... however I ask that you only will do so within the boundries of the Everfree Forest... You three are clearly more then capable of taking care of yourselves. I dont wish for anypony to ever witness such a vile thing." Princess Celestia said.

Twilight Sparkle and Applejack were still slightly bothered by this. But no matter how they looked at the three humans, they saw carnivorous predators in them. They certainly didn't look like they'd enjoy a hay sandwich. Rainbow Dash didn't really care. If they'd just stop destroying everything she was fine with whatever they ate, aslong it weren't ponies or gryphons etc.

Ulfgar was confused. "Why? Why just simply discard a rule you insisted on having?"

"The truth is... I'm still disgusted by it. But we all need your cooperation in defeating Discord. So for now I'm willing to compromise." Celestia answered.

"I'm all good with that! no hard feelings right huh Ulfy!" Carmine laughed.

"What? We just nearly killed each other. Are you insane!" Ulfgar shouted.

"Hey... let bygones be bygones am I right? But I'm watching you!" The COG soldier pointed at the dovakhiin.

"Yeah... what?" Ulfgar had no idea what it meant. But he planned on keeping an eye on Carmine as well. "And you will still help us return home? There's nothing you're hiding from us?" The dragonborn asked the princess.

"I have told you everything I know. I can't look further into this untill Discord is dealt with." Celestia said without changing her expression.

"Aye... then it will be done." Ulfgar said.

"Alright then. I should notify you that the one called 'Heavy' is in life threatening danger. He has been stung by a manticore's poisonous tail. His condition..." Celestia paused. "My prize pupil Twilight Sparkle has told me you are capable of performing healing magic. Is there anything you can do to help him?" She asked Ulfgar.

"My magic... It cannot cure poison. But there is something else that might work. Where is he?" The dovakhiin answered.

"Please step forward and I will transport us to Ponyville." Celestia said. And they all did as asked. She proceeded to charge her multi-teleport spell.

______

A bit earlier. Fluttershy's cottage.

"Oh please Mr. Heavy you need to stay put!" Fluttershy tried to calm down the Russian. His skin grew paler by the minute and his eyes barely looked conscious.

"Sasha! WHERE IS SASHA!" He was enraged after he found out he had left his beloved mini-gun alone in the forest. "RAAAAAH!" He blindly started rampaging through Fluttershy's cottage.

__________

Thunder Mountain. Earth. RED Spawn.

"Alright maggots! It's been three days since Heavy went on vacation, and we haven't won a SINGLE game since. You people are not even worthy of serving the RED. You all disgust me maggots!" Soldier barked.

"For ta last time, Heavy aint on vacation. That weird looking goat took him remember?" Engineer said.

"Do not bother vith zis imcompetent fool." Spy pulled Engineer away. "Tell me, vat can you tell me of ze situation."

"Well ya see this fancy computer right here." Engineer pointed at a monitor.

"Oui."

"And ya see Heavy's happy face right there?"

"Oui."

"Well this here bar next to his face represent his health points. Ya know, when they hit zero he dies."

"And zen he will respawn right?"

"Eeyup, thats right."

"Mon dieu... Zen why hasn't he jumped of a cliff or somezhing?"

"Ah dunno what he's doin', maybe he doesn't know he can still use the respawn from over there. But looky here, his hp is at thirteen. He'll die soon enough."

"And vat if he doesn't?

"Then ah guess we need to go an get him."

"MAGGOTS! STOP SCREWING AROUND, GAME TIME IN THIRTY SECONDS! GET TO YOUR POSITIONS!" Soldier shouted.

The RED team started gathering infront of the BLU spawn. But everything was quiet. To quiet...

"5. 4. 3. 2. 1." The game started and the gates opened. Usually by now the RED team got destroyed by the BLU Heavy and Medic. But there wasn't anyone coming out.

"SHIT THEY'RE ALL SPIES!" Scout shouted and started punching Pyro with his bat.

"MMMGMMMGMGFFHH." Pyro was annoyed by this and decided to burn his teammate.

"Usually I see em double, now I'm seeing none!" Demoman wandered around more drunk then usual.

"Zis is... a strange happening indeed." Medic said.

"Alright! BLU forfeit! RED win by default!" Soldier was still dissapointed he couldn't blow up some BLU's.

"What in tarnation is goin' on here... First Heavy... Now all the BLU's are gone." Engineer shrugged in confusion.

"Bloody hell... I have no idea what's going on anymore." Sniper ended.

Authors note. This was definitly the hardest chapter to write this far. Hope you enjoyed it and remember that constructive criticism is always appreciated!

Chapter nine. The BLU comes to town.

"SASHA!!! WHERE IS MY GUN!" Heavy shouted as he stomped through Fluttershy's cottage terrifying all her cute little animal friends.

"Please Mr. Heavy! You're terribly ill. You need to lay down please!" Fluttershy begged him.

"IS NOTHING! Heavy will now go back to forest and get Sasha!" Heavy was as white as a ghost and even though he definitly felt weak, he was determined to retrieve his mini-gun. Sasha was more then just a gun. It was a friend. With Sandvich already gone, Heavy didn't want to lose another comrade.

"But you'll die if you dont stay put! please... I don't want anything bad to happen..." The pink maned pegasus peeped.

Heavy paused for a moment. But stayed determined. "Heavy does not fear death, not anymore..." He said and left the cottage. Just to be stopped by the humans and ponies that just teleported there.

"Holy shit, are you feeling okay there Heavy?" Carmine said worried as he saw the Russian paler then the grubs from Sera.

"Is good to see you again comrades. Now I must get Sasha!" Heavy said pretending he wasn't in pain at all.

"Woah! You aint going anywhere, you just stay in bed and let us take care of it okay?" the COG soldier stopped Heavy.

Ulfgar looked at Heavy, sickness overpowering this mighty warrior, slowly but sure. He suddenly had a flashback of his quests back in Skyrim.

"Lycanthropy..." The dovakhiin mumbled.

"Excuse me?" Twilight said.

"Lycanthropy! It's a disease that makes you immune to all diseases!"

"That doesn't sound really logical."

"Aye... But this power comes at a cost. Like I said, immunity to all diseases. But also incredible power, speed and the form of a wolf... In return, bloodlust requires these 'werewolves' to spill blood once every day. They'll offer their souls to the spirit of the hunt Hircine. So that even in the afterlife, their hunt continues..."

"Are... you a werewolf?" Twilight asked slightly hesitant.

Ulfgar looked up to the skies. "I was once burdened this so called 'gift' yes... but in the end, both me and Kodlak decided that our souls belong in Sovngarde! We were able to cleanse ourselves from this curse with a few witches heads." He said casually.

"Then why are you telling us this?!" Twilight was getting annoyed.

"Oh, I just thought you might be interested."

"Yes! It's really interesting and I'd love to know all about it later. But didn't you say you had something that could help your friend?"

"Oh yes!" Ulfgar picked out a red vial from his inventory.

Twilight tried reading the label. "Potion of cure disease?" She said.

"Aye. I always carry atleast ten of these with me." Ulfgar said.

"And are you certain these... convenient potions will be able to cure Heavy's poison?" Celestia asked.

Ulfgar shrugged. "Always worked for me. Poison or even Sanguinare Vampiris. Let's found out now then shall we?"

"You want me to drink little red thing? " Heavy asked.

"Aye, it wont heal you, but it'll stop that damn poison hopefully."

Heavy drank the red liquid. It tasted disgusting but by the power of gaming logic the potion cleansed his entire body of diseases. The poison was gone, even that cold Heavy felt coming up was dissapearing. "YAHAHA! much better now!" The Russian smirked and started to regain some color.

"We must get back Sasha! She is alone in forest..." Heavy was now more determined then ever, even though his hitpoints were dangerously close to hitting zero.

"Then hold still!" Ulfgar commanded the Russian as he attempted to heal him with his restoration magic.

"Njet! we go now!" Heavy insisted.

"Uhmm... Mr.Heavy?" Suddenly Fluttershy stepped forward.

"Little Flutterpony..."

"Uhm... I'm really sorry for what happened, and uhm... I keep hearing you talking about sandwiches... so I made you one." Fluttershy presented a self-made sandwich.

To the untrained eye this sandwich might look just like any other. But Heavy was a professional when it came to this deliciousness. He examined the well cut edges. The beautiful triangular shape. A perfect consistency of ingredients, although lacking ham. It wasn't Sandvich thats for sure, but the Russian saw that this sandwich was made with much caring and love and would definitly be able to satisfy his stomach. Atleast for now. "Is for me?" Heavy asked.

"Oh... if you don't like it thats okay to...." Fluttershy said.

"Njet! is not Sandvich, but Heavy will accept shy Flutterpony's gift." He grabbed the sandwich from the plate Fluttershy was holding. *Nom nom nom* Heavy always chewed his food thoroughly. The Russian finished the sandwich in just three bites, he then belched confirming it was pretty tasty. "Is deliciousness!" Heavy felt power and stamina returning to his body. Hit points were nearly maxed out again.

"I'm glad you liked it and that you're feeling better Mr. Heavy. Once again... I'm really sorry what happened...!" Fluttershy still seemed a bit upset.

"You need not apologize. When Sasha is back all is good again." Heavy said.

Princess Celestia was glad atleast Heavy seemed to behave while staying in Equestria. Suddenly a cold chill creeped up her spine. A familair feeling. She felt strong magical interferences, similair to when the three humans and dragons arrived. She didn't know what is was back then, but now Celestia was certain. She turned to her prize pupil. "Twilight Sparkle, I need you to gather all of Ponyville's citizens at once." She spoke fast and serious.

"Why? Is there anything wrong princess?" Twilight asked.

"Discord is coming... or something send by him, and I will not see anypony hurt. I'll transport everyone to a safer location."

"Discord! oh no no no no! I'll get to it right away princess!" Twilight did as told and started gathering the ponies of Ponyville.

Ulfgar and Carmine seemed excited and ready for battle. Heavy did not care one bit and started sprinting towards the forest. He was stopped by Celestia.

"I sense a great amount of danger in the forest, I cannot allow you to face this alone." She said.

"Puny princess get out way... first Heavy will get Sasha. Then will crush pony enemies." He simply shoved the princess aside and ventured forward.

"Now stop right there! ya don't just push the princess around!" Applejack shouted as she started following Heavy. Seconds later they were both out of sight by the thick vegetation of the forest.

Ulfgar was the next one to leave, tracking down Discord as best as he could. He started heading towards the town with his blade drawn.

"And where do you think you're going?" Celestia teleported infront of the dovakhiin.

"I'm going to slay this Discord." He said casually.

"You think Discord is easily slain? I told you once before that Discord sees all this as a game! he even told me so himself. He'll just corrupt more beings from other realms to tire us out while he prepares for something much greater. We need to work together, and only then we'll be able to eliminate this threat." Celestia hoped for the dragonborn's cooperation.

"I don't care how powerful you think he is. I just don't want to remain in this world... I had sworn Discord would fall to my blade and I intend to keep that promise. I'll just find him myself and get this over with." Ulfgar said determined and walked past Celestia.

Celestia was annoyed that now not only Heavy but also Ulfgar had left the group. This definitly would lower their chances if something bad were to happen here. Thank goodness Carmine is still here.

"LETS DOOO THIS!" The COG soldier shouted as he suddenly started sprinting into the forest.

"Hey wait up! I'm coming with you!" Rainbow Dash yelled and rushed behind Carmine.

Celestia was speechless. What is wrong with these humans? Dont they have any idea what danger they could be in? She sat on the ground and let out a large sigh. Waiting for Twilight to return with the civilians. Just the princess herself and Fluttershy remained at the cottage now.

"So... lovely weather today huh?" Fluttershy said nervously.

_________

In the Everfree Forest.

"NATASHA! WHERE IS MY GUN!" The BLU Heavy raged through the forest with the rest of the BLU.

"Better question... Where are we? And what the bloody hell is wrong with ya'll eyes?" the BLU sniper asked as he saw his teammates with bright red glowing eyes.

"Maggot! we're here to search and destroy! are you disobeying orders Bilbo Baggins!?" The BLU soldier barked.

"What? What orders? What the hell are ya talking about?" Sniper said confused.

"Then take this maggot down! we need no traitors in this war!" Soldier aimed his rocket launcher towards Sniper and so did the rest of BLU.

"Crikey... I have no bloody idea what's going on. But ya'll are crazy!" The BLU sniper reached out to his Jarate. (a jar filled with piss.) He then threw it right in the BLU Scout's face, and started sprinting. Seconds after he was being followed by rockets, bullets and even shots from a flare gun. Luckily the fast Scout was still incapicitated due to being disgusted, and the Sniper was able to find enough cover using the large trees of this unknown forest. He eventually vanished in the darkness of the woods. Leaving the BLU team behind him.

"We'll deal with that maggot later. Lets split up and start destroying everything. That sounds about right doesn't it?" The Soldier said confused at his own intentions but still corrupted by Discord's magic.

"Aye! We'll blow em all to pieces yaha!" The BLU demoman shouted.

"NJET WE MUST FIND NATASHA!" the BLU Heavy managed to lose his mini-gun before coming here.

"You have a a damn shotgun so you better learn how to use it maggot! alright tactical intermission. We're splitting up. Heavy and Medic! You go that way. Demo and Pyro! I want you to look for civilization... and blow it all up! Me, Scout and the Canadian will go that way and blast everything to pieces in sight! Spy you're going... where the hell is Spy?" After the Soldier was done pointing his team towards random locations he noticed the BLU Spy was nowhere to be seen.

"That shapeshifting rat already left. Said something about testing his new Cloak and Dagger." The BLU scout said.

"All you maggots are a disgrace to this unit! now dismissed!" the Soldier commanded his team to do as told.

___________

Twilight Sparkle had gathered all Ponyvillians. Atleast those who she could manage to find. Lyra, Pinkie Pie and the three cutie mark crusaders were still absent. Celestia however promised her prize pupil to look for them as soon the rest of the civilains have been safely evacuated before the unknown threat reaches their town.

"Are ya sure AJ 's alright?" Big Mac. Applejack's brother asked Twilight as he was worried about her.

"She's with somepony even bigger then you Big Macintosh. I'm sure she'll be fine." Twilight answered smiling.

"All right, and make sure ya send Applebloom over as soon as ya can. Granny Smith an me are awfully worried about her."

"Will do Big Mac!" Twilight waved off the large stallion as he and all the other citizens of Ponyville including Rarity, Spike and Fluttershy got teleported to a safer place in Canterlot. After doing this the princess returned not even a minute later.

"Whatever it is that's coming. It's close." She said. "We need to find your friends and get them so safety immediatly!" Celestia was getting concerned.

Little did they know that danger was literally just a few feet away. The BLU Spy. Permamently invisible with the Cloak and Dagger aslong he stood still, was eavesdropping on the ponies for quitte a while now. "Mon dieu... zis are little ponies... stabbing them vould be most dishonorable." He thought to himself.

"Kill them... KILL THEM ALL!"

A voice shouted through his mind ordering him to destroy everything. The Spy's eyes started glowing brighter and now turned towards Celestia. Still invisible he started flicking his butterfly knife and slowly approached the princess of the sun.

________

"Is not the same without Natasha." The BLU Heavy sulked.

"Dummkopf! You still have ze boxing gloves and shotgun. And I have ze bonesaw so we'll be able to cause more then enough damage. " The BLU Medic said.

"But is not same... Natasha is like... what is that?" The BLU Heavy pointed at the unconscious body of a manticore.

"Ein large kitty-cat I zhink." Medic wasn't really interested.

"No... behind big kitty."

"Is zat... oh my."

"Is RED Heavy's Sasha." The BLU Russian said as he picked up his equal's Mini-gun.

"Now zhen... can you feel ze schadenfreude?" Medic chuckled.

"Is now my gun. Heavy will crush all cowards now." The BLU Russian started laughing.

"Oktoberfest!" The BLU Medic joined the laughter.

______

Abit further into the forest.

"AH! why is Applepony following me!" the Red Heavy shouted at his pursuer.

"Ya just pushed the princess! ya think ah would just let ya get away with that?" Applejack shouted back.

The Russian stopped his sprint. "Someone touch my gun..."

"What? How do ya know?" Applejack asked.

"SOMEONE TOUCH MY GUN! SASHA!" Heavy was furious. He started running even faster then before now. Applejack as fast as she is, was barely able to keep up with the human.

"Wait up!" Applejack kept following the Russian hoping they'd not encounter another manticore or something equally dangerous.

Heavy kept rushing through the forest. He hadn't been this enraged since the BLU Scout ate his Sandvich. He punched everything in sight, knocking down several smaller trees. After a two minute sprint Heavy arrived at the place where he had lost Sasha.

He could not believe his eyes. Infront of him was the BLU Heavy and Medic. Two faces Heavy didn't expect to see here. Even worse, the BLU Heavy had gun-napped Sasha. Heavy started to grow even more furious. The two BLU's stared at him for a second and prepared to attack.

"What the hay? Am ah seein' double?" Applejack said as she arrived at the scene. Both Heavy's were identical apart from the color of their gear. Red and Blue. Also both the BLU's eyes were bright red and glowing.

"Applepony go hide... Those are BLU. My greatest enemies of home." Heavy told the pony.

"What? Ahm sure they'll be nice fellas like yerself Heavy. How ya'll doing humans! name's Applejack." She introduced herself to the BLU's.

"Oh my... a talking horse! zat is quitte fascinating. I will most certainly dissect one of zhese as soon we're done with ze mission." Medic chuckled.

"I will crush little pony and make better Sandvich then ever before!" the BLU Heavy grinned.

"Okay ah don't think they're nice guys anymore... Ya got a plan then Heavy?" Applejack asked the RED Russian.

"I told little pony to hide. Heavy will crush them. Is not gonna be pretty." Heavy warned the pony.

"Don't worry... ahm not like Fluttershy. Ah still don't think killing is the best way... but we gotta stop Discord and ah assume these guys were brought by him."

"Red eyes not normal unless they übercharge. Think pony is right." Heavy said.

"Oh wunderbar! I forgot all about ze übercharge. Danke schön!" the BLU Medic started healing his teammate with his medi-gun to fully charge his über.

The RED Heavy turned to Applejack again. "Little pony sure she wants to help me?"

"Ahm sure, lets go get em!"

"DA! We are now comrades Applepony. I will not hold back now crushing our enemies!" Heavy pointed at the BLU Heavy who still had Sasha in his hands. "YOU! YES YOU! YOU ARE DEAD!"

The BLU Heavy was not amused by this threat and started warming up his enemies mini-gun.

"Applepony take care of doctor! he is puny and weak. Take his gun. He can not use übercharge!" Heavy ordered Applejack

"Uh alright!" Applejack had no idea what an 'übercharge' was. But she was smart enough to realise the white-coated one was the doctor and that fancy blue-glowing weapon of him was something they needed to get rid off.

Heavy now started charging towards the BLU Heavy. He was able to to get within his range before Sasha was fully revved. He started repeatedly punching him in the face but without much result. All the damage done was immediatly healed by the Medic's medi-gun. Sasha was ready to fire now. The BLU Heavy started firing but due to the mini-gun's enormous size it's difficult to hit something extremely close.

"COWARD! you dare shoot MY gun to ME!?" Heavy landed a critical hit on the BLU Heavy's nose.

"I am fully charged!" Medic suddenly shouted.

BLU Heavy grinned and stopped firing. He dodged an incoming strike causing the RED Heavy to lose his footing for a second. The BLU Heavy stepped backwards to gain some distance, still having Sasha fully revved. "NOW DOCTOR!"

The Medic prepared to use his übercharge. But suddenly his weapon was pulled away from him.

"Not so fast pardner." Applejack said as she used her lasso to disarm the human.

"Zis is unforgivable." The BLU Medic equipped his bonesaw and started approaching the orange pony.

"Little pony look out!" Heavy shouted but was unable to help her since he was busy dropping the BLU Heavy's HP. The BLU Heavy kept spinning in circles hoping that Sasha would randomly hit his enemies.

"Looks like ze dissection is happening faster zhen expected." Medic chuckled as he waved his bonesaw infront of Applejack. The orange pony looked in awe at the sharp object presented to her. It was something she definitly rather avoid. She threw down the weapon she had stolen earlier and re-armed her lasso. She aimed towards the human's bonesaw hoping to capture it as well. But this time the Medic was prepared and simply grabbed the lasso with his free hand, then started pulling the orange pony towards him. He grasped her mane firmly.

"Ze dissection is much more fun vhen alive. I need you to stay here for a while if that's alright hmm?" Medic chuckled.

"Lemme go ya creepy four-eyes." Applejack struggled to escape his grip but wasn't able to.

"Oh fräulein. Please sit still, zis will only hurt for a moment." He then violently kicked the orange pony in the stomach and as she laid down on the ground struggling to breath he proceeded to make two small incisions in the pony's hind legs.

After a few seconds Applejack was able to breath properly again. "That was one nasty kick." She thought. Applejack didn't feel that the Medic had cut her twice, so tried to stand up. "What the hay?" Her hind legs refused to move.

"One of ze many benefits of being a doctor. You learn ze human body in and out. Luckily ze same rules apply to most animals as well. Now you'll stay put wont you?" Medic continued chuckling.

"APPLEPONY NO!" Heavy shouted as he saw the orange pony helpless on the ground. He gave the BLU Heavy a strong headbutt which staggered him for a second, finally stopping Sasha's spraying of bullets. Heavy then pushed the BLU Heavy to the ground and started rushing towards the Medic.

The BLU Heavy had then dropped Sasha and had pulled out his shotgun. He fired two shots at the RED Heavy's which hit him in the back and arms. It didn't kill him but it was definitly affecting him as he stopped his rush and slowly started kneeling down.

Medic had retrieved his medi-gun, still fully charged. He waited to the BLU Heavy to pick up his mini-gun again. The BLU Russian started revving Sasha again, then signalled the Medic to use the übercharge to add extra humiliation to the RED Heavy. Medic released his übercharge as both their bodies, clothing and even their weapons became blue. Their eyes were now shining more bright red then ever. "YAHAHA I AM BULLETPROOF!" the BLU Heavy yelled. He then aimed his mini-gun towards the RED Heavy. "Now is my killing time!"

*CLICK CLICK CLICK* Heavy knew that sound better then anyone. Sasha was out of ammo, leaving two invulnerable BLU's without a mini-gun. But what does it matter? Heavy had no weapons, no Sandvich. And Applejack had been incapacitated. Even without Sasha the BLU's had more then enough firepower from the BLU Russian's shotgun. The Russian faced death on a daily basis. Was today an exception? It sure didn't look like it. Heavy's left arm was severely bleeding and next to that he was unarmed. Fighting his equal self plus a Medic proved to be more difficult then he thought at first.

The übercharge started vanishing. "Dummkopf!" Medic smacked the BLU Heavy on the head. "Vhy didnt you check your ammo before asking for ein über." He asked.

"Da. Puny Sasha is is inferior to Natasha. Is useless!" The BLU Heavy threw aside the empty mini-gun.

RED Heavy just laughed. Everyone knows Natasha sucks. But during his laughter he noticed there was something missing.

The BLU Heavy and Medic approached the RED Russian. Equipped with a shotgun and bonesaw they were determined to hurt Heavy as much as possible.

"Look behind you!" The RED Heavy suddenly shouted.

"Oh really... you zhink we're that stupid?" Medic said.

"No really! is scary monster behind you!" Heavy continued.

"Oh yes ofcourse. I'll just turn around and zhen see a monster is zhat vhat you're saying?"

"Da!"

"Fine then I'll loo...-" Medic turned around the see the Manticore that was unconscious earlier covered in blood and drool growling insanely.

"Oh my... Heavy... You might vant to turn around." Medic said to his teammate.

But before the BLU Heavy was able to spot the giant beast prowling behind them the Medic was already a goner. The manticore tore open his stomach and then started pulling out his insides. After most his organs dropped out he proceeded to swipe at his neck. Breaking it instantly. Just seconds before the Medic died his eyes turned back to normal.

BLU Heavy fired two shotgun shells towards to rampaging manticore. It was useless. The beast was so pumped with adrenaline that pain didn't matter. Only revenge did.

The manticore clawed the BLU Heavy on the face, scraping of a part of the skin on his head. Now with a large gaping wound on his face the BLU Heavy looked up to the beast. It then flung its tail towards the BLU Russian, stabbing him in the chest. The BLU Heavy fell to the ground, getting weaker by the second. The manticore raised its paw and slammed it against the BLU Heavy's face. Completly squashing it. The BLU Heavy was dead.

The RED Heavy could just watch as he saw this manticore crush the two BLU's. He did not want to end up the same way as them and began to look for a way out. But without any weapons and his left arm useless there's not much he could do against this mad beast set out for revenge. He just hoped that Applejack would get away safely. Death was close. The manticore now stood infront of Heavy.

He then heard a loud noise and suddenly the manticore's head exploded much to Heavy's surprise. He didn't understand what was going on but he took this opportunity to get the hell back to Ponyville. He grabbed Sasha and walked towards the hurt orange pony.

"Is pony alright?" Heavy asked.

"Mah legs... They aint workin." Applejack said with a sad tone.

"We must go back quickly, maybe dragon man can help pony. If there is more of BLU they need help to!" He placed the small pony on his shoulder and started heading back to Ponyville.

__________

A few seconds earlier.

"Boom headshot." The BLU Sniper joked as he blew off the manticore's face. He was hidden on top of a large tree about fifty meters away from the RED Heavy. He was surprised to see that this is where the RED Heavy had been hanging out. A world of talking ponies and mythological creatures. Bloody marvelous. It pained the Sniper that he saw his teammates get butchered by this beast. But he had no idea what was going on, or if the respawn would work here. So he decided to stick to the shadows and observe. No one said sniping is an easy job. He also noticed that unlike his teammates the RED Heavy didn't have those freaky glowing eyes. As much Sniper hated the RED Heavy, he decided to spare him for now. Maybe he knows more.

Carmine and Rainbow Dash had already returned from the forest.

"I can't believe how random that forest is. We just went in, got my gnasher back and left. Easy as that, no problems at all." Carmine said.

"Yeah... I thought the princess said there was something dangerous in the forest... guess she was wrong." Rainbow Dash said.

"So where the hell are we right now?"

"This is sweet apple acres! Applejack's farm is right up ahead."

"Applejack is the one with the hat right? Thank god she gave me back my gun." Carmine hugged his lancer.

"Yeah... anyway... what are we doing next?"

"I dunno, I guess we should go an...-" Carmine stopped midsentence as he saw spotted three nearby creatures. No wait. These were humans! This interested Carmine as well as Rainbow Dash and decided to investigate. They both remained low and slowly started approaching the three humans with the intention of staying hidden. They started eavesdropping.

"Need a dispenser here. Need a dispenser here. Need a dispenser here. Need a dispenser here." Scout continued saying this.

"Can ya shut up ya annoying brat. Ahm trying to work here." Engineer said while placing a level three dispenser and started working on a sentry gun. "Sentry goin' up!"

"Alright you maggots! We haven't found any civies around here yet. But we did found this pretty barn right there. Who's in favor of blowing it up?" Soldier asked.

Scout and Engineer both raised their hand to agree with this.

"They're gonna destroy AJ's barn! we can't let them do that!" Rainbow Dash whispered to Carmine.

"You're right. We need to properly choose our next actions to take these three guys down. I propose we...-" Rainbow Dash suddenly flew off. "Fine... that was my plan anyway." Carmine facepalmed.

Rainbow Dash rushed towards the Soldier and kicked him against the hat. "You leave Sweet Apple Acres right now!" She demanded.

"Sweet jesus a talking flying kangaroo!" Soldier shouted.

"Woaaah... did ya see how fast that thing was?" Scout said slightly amazed.

"Now ah've seen everything." Engineer shrugged while finishing off his sentry gun. Now level three as well.

"CHAAAAAAAAAAARGE!" Carmine also rushed in with his guns blazing.

The sentry then suddenly turned to Carmine and started launching a barrage of bullets and rockets towards the COG soldier.

"OH SHIT WHAT THE FUCK!" Carmine rolled around in desperation trying to avoid all the stuff shot at him. "They got a freaking turret!" He eventually was able to take cover behind a large appletree.

The sentry gun now turned to Rainbow Dash and started firing. The blue pegasus luckily was fast and agile enough to dodge all incoming shots. He then quickly regrouped with Carmine.

"I don't these guys are pushovers Dash... If you want to leave now, I wont blame you." Carmine said.

"Hah! Well tough luck mister cause I'm staying."

"Well don't get yourself hurt then. Stay on the move if that turret shoots at you uhh... dont get hit okay?"

"Yes sir!" Rainbow Dash gave a salute.

"Good! well then I have a plan. I'm gonna give you t... wait a second... is that?" Carmine pointed at a different direction where a green unicorn was trotting around in the distance without a care in the world.

"Lyra?!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"Shit we gotta get her outta here" Carmine said.

"MAGGOT! what are you standing around here for! go after them and smash their brains out!" Soldier ordered Scout.

"Oh... and what are you gonna do then?" Scout asked.

"Well someone has to protect the Canadian, and Pyro isnt around. As much I hate to admit it... You're much faster then me. Go and have fun won't you." Soldier said.

"For ta last time ahm from Texas." Engineer said annoyed.

Scout meanwhile started heading out. He was armed with the Force-A-Nature. A double barreled sawed-off shotgun that packed quitte a punch. He also had a baseball bat and last but not least his Bonk! Atomic Punch. A beverage that provides temporary invincibility and extreme speed.

"Boing!" The BLU Scout appeared next to Carmine and slammed him against the helmet with his baseball bat.

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" Carmine shouted. "YOU. DONT. TOUCH. MY. HEAD." He attempted to grab the Scout but he was to fast. "Dash! Go and get that pony out of here. I'm gonna do something you might not want to see."

"Oh they're ponies? I figured they were mutated alien beavers. But I guess ponies sounds more logical." Scout kept running circles around Carmine repeatedly hitting him with his bat.

"Fine! But then I'm coming back!" Rainbow Dash flew off.

"Oh no you don't!" Scout drank his Bonk! Atomic Punch and rushed behind her. Carmine fired a few shot at him but the Scout was able to jump in midair skillfully avoiding all the bullets shot at him.

"Lyra! You gotta get out of here right away!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

Lyra turned around and spotted the blue pegasus. "Oh hi Rainbow." She waved.

"What are you doing here? The princess should've evacuated the entire town by now."

"Why? Is there anything happening?"

"Well hello! You didn't notice the those loud bangs just a few seconds ago?"

"Yeah... but I just figured Applejack was fixing up her barn or something."

"Well that's not it! Discord returned and he brought nasties!"

"What do you mean nasties?" Lyra tried adjusting her eyes as she saw a blue blur head towards her with great speed. "More humans..." She said annoyed.

"Yeah! And you gotta get out of here so we me and that Carmine can get rid of them."

"Oh... I didn't realise I was a bother to you and the... human."

"That's not what I meant! I mean, you gotta get out of here because it's not safe here! there's two more over there and they're planning on blowing everything up!"

"Wananananana." The BLU Scout now reached Rainbow Dash and Lyra. He had his Force-A-Nature ready to fire.

Rainbow Dash charged at him with full speed. She noticed he jumped in the air. She already knew he could double-jump so she tried to anticipate what his next step would be. She guessed the opposite direction of his first jump. She was right and was just an inch away from the BLU Scout who had a wicked grin. Just before Rainbow Dash was able to hit him, he fired his gun towards the ground launching him even further into the air. He did a triple flip before landing. Then the Scout equipped his baseball bat again and sprinted towards the green unicorn. *BAM* He smacked the poor pony right in the face.

"Lyra!" Rainbow Dash shouted as she tried to keep up with the evasive human.

"And it's a hooooooooomerun!" Scout yelled happily.

"Are you crazy? What if she's hurt." Rainbow Dash rushed to Lyra whose nose started bleeding. "Are you alright?" She asked.

"Bleghhmmnnnoo... not really." Lyra said with quitte the migraine.

"What the hay is your problem pal!" Rainbow Dash asked the Scout.

"My problem? You're my freakin' problem. And your face is ugly!" Scout said taunting the pony.

"Shut up or I'll teach you a lesson!" Rainbow Dash said defensively.

"Oooh yeah, you're real scary. Do you have any idea who I am? Any idea who you're messing wi-' Scout was interrupted midsentence as he felt the cold steel of COG soldier's chainsaw penetrate his small fragile body.

"Eat dirt and die motherfucker!" Carmine shouted as he finally caught up with the BLU speed demon. He simply sawed through his skin, organs and bones completely cutting the Scout in two. Blood spattered in all directions, but mostly on Rainbow Dash's and Lyra's face who were still infront of the human. BLU Scout eliminated.

"He just hit you with a bat? You really think... that was neccesary?" Rainbow asked while rubbing of the blood.

"I dont like getting hit in the head." Carmine responded casually. Not a moment of regret went through his mind. "There's two more. I'm gonna finish those off as well." The COG soldier started heading back.

"Fine! But I'm coming with you!" Rainbows Dash followed him.

Lyra was still abit woozy from the hit she just took. She noticed a pool of blood in front of her. And the two pieces of a human... corpse. She gently poked his hands and giggled maniacally. She then realised this was a scary situation. "Hey you guys! don't leave me here by myself!" Lyra yelled and started trotting after the much faster Carmine and Rainbow Dash.

Carmine and Rainbow had meanwhile reached the large appletree they used for cover earlier. They could still hear the remaining two humans argue.

"Freakin' campers." Carmine mumbled. "They just keep hiding behind that turrets of theirs."

The BLU Soldier appareantly heard this and these words infuriated him. "I will NOT be called a camper on any battlefield!" He then used his rocket launcher to literally launch himself into the air. As he soared above Carmine's cover he launched two more rockets towards him and one a bit further away.

"Shit! Incoming!" Carmine started running. As soon he left the cover from the large tree the sentry gun started firing towards him launching several rockets. Which meant it was not targeting Rainbow Dash. She dodged the incoming rockets from the Soldier and took this chance to stomp him in his stomach while still airborne. He proceeded to crash down.

Lyra was nearing Carmine and Rainbow Dash and noticed a strange flaming object heading towards her. Well it was pretty slow so she was easily able to dodge this. However the rocket exploded just about a meter behind her and the impact still managed to launch her through the air. She got knocked against the very same tree back first where the BLU Soldier also crashed down.

The BLU Soldier appareantly hit his head, lost his helmet and was rambling something about cupcakes. Carmine was still desperatly trying to avoid the sentry gun's firepower and eventually managed to hide behind a slightly smaller tree. Rainbow Dash started heading back to the Soldier who looked like he was about to eat Lyra with his creepy expression. The blue pegasus rushed down and bucked him right in the face this time.

The Soldier appareantly regained his senses as his expression changed back. "Maggots!" He barked and equipped his shovel. "I'm going to claw my way down your throat and tear out your very soul!" he raised his mighty shovel and prepared to strike down Rainbow Dash. But he was never able to. The moment the raised his shovel he was greeted by four rounds of Carmine's lancers right in his face. Instantly killing the BLU Soldier. His dead body dropped down next to Lyra.

"Dash!" Carmine yelled. "You gotta distract that turret for a second so I can get over there." He asked the blue pegasus. She did as told and with her speed was easily able to dodge all incoming missiles. The COG soldier quickly rushed over to Lyra behind the largest appletree.

"Are you okay?" Carmine asked the unicorn.

"Uhh... my head kinda hurts and I'm completely covered in blood... next to that I'm okay... I guess." Lyra answered. Rainbow Dash now also returned to their cover.

"Great! okay, I guesss you realised this by now. But these dudes are the bad guys you know. That uhh... goat of chaos send them here from what I can gather." Carmine guessed.

"You mean Discord?" Lyra said.

"Yeah that guy."

"Okay... so what are we going to do?"

"We need to take out the last guy over there. Cowering behind his turret. I'd go over and blast his brains out but I cant get close."

"His stupid toy can't hit me! I'll go and kick his behind!" Rainbow Dash bragged.

"No I think that's a bad idea... He also has a shotgun you see. If you don't know what a shotgun is... It's something that will blow to pieces if you get close to it." Carmine then reached out to this last Bolo frag grenade. "If we can get thise grenade on that turret we might be able to take it out... but I'm not really good with throwing them.

"Is that one of those things that blew up my house?" Lyra asked.

"Uh... yeah."

"I'll get that glenate to him! Just hoof it over!" Rainbow Dash was certain she could do this.

"No I also think that's a really bad idea. It detonates or 'explodes' extremely fast. You wont have enough time to dodge all that firepower and get close to him." Carmine said.

"Maybe I can help?" Lyra suddenly said.

"Oh... you're an expert at throwing grenades then I presume?" Carmine wondered.

"No... I'm a unicorn... I can just simply teleport it to him."

"That's... convenient!" Are you ready then?

"Sure!"

Carmine activated the frag grenade and held it infront of the green unicorn. She then used her magic to teleport it to where the last BLU remained.

"Buildin Buildin Buildin." Engineer kept whacking his wrench against the sentry gun which for some reason reloaded it. Suddenly a bright green flash appeared before him. He then felt something was stuck to his neck. It started beeping. "Aw shucks. This aint good." The grenade exploded blowing the BLU Engineer into bits and knocking over the sentry gun. It started shooting a few last rounds before malfunctioning, blowing a hole in Applejack's farmhouse.

"Oh horseapples... AJ isn't gonna like this." Rainbow Dash said.

"Pfft! We'll fix it later. At least we won for now!" Carmine proclaimed them victorious.

The three started heading to the remains of the BLU Engineer. "Looks like he's dead alright." Carmine kicked the Engineer's blown off hand into the air. "Now what's this thing here?" The COG soldier stood before the BLU dispenser.

"Woah what the hell?" Carmine jumped back.

"What what?" Rainbow Dash said confused.

"Uhhmm.. that thing... I think it gave me more ammo." Carmine was just as confused. But it's a good thing. Extra ammo is always useful. "We'll keep this this around for now."

Rainbow Dash, Lyra and Carmine started heading back to Ponyville, to check out what the current situation there might be. Just as they were about to leave Sweet Apple Acres they were interupted by three young ponies.

"Look look! It's one of the humans!" Scootaloo shouted.

"Wow! You're right! He does look like a robot!" Sweetie Belle said.

"Ah dunno, he still kinda looks scary to me." Applebloom said.

"Nah, he's not scary at all right huh huh!" Scootaloo started poking Carmine.

"Hey! cut it out!" the COG soldier was annoyed.

"Scootaloo! what are you three doing here! the princess should've evacuated the town by now." Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Oh we were just playing with Pinkie Pie. Why? What's going on?" Scootaloo asked.

"Ugh... nothing. Let's just go back to town and we'll see what happens." Rainbow Dash didn't feel like explaining.

Then suddenly they heard several loud explosions coming from Ponyville.

"Okay... you three aren't going to town. Go to the farm and hide there okay?" Rainbow Dash ordered the cutie mark crusaders.

"Ugh... fine. But we want to play with the humans later!" Scootaloo and her friends started heading to the farm feeling slightly sad.

"No wait!" Rainbow Dash suddenly remembered that half the farmhouse is blown up and there there's three human corpses just lying around. Not something suited for young ponies eyes. "You can't go to the farm! go to your clubhouse and hide there. Make sure you go around the fields okay?" The blue pegasus ordered them once more.

"Yeah sure fine whatever!" Scootaloo said and the three started heading towards their clubhouse.

Lyra, Carmine and Rainbow Dash started heading further into the town where they just heard explosions. Surely nothing good can be happening there.

_______

Ponyville. Earlier.

Pinkie Pie was trotting around town happily. She just had a fun time playing with the cutie mark crusaders. Unfortunatly they weren't able to discover their special talent this day. But they had fun nonetheless.

"Hmm... Ponyville seems awfully quiet... maybe they're all planning A SURPRISE PARTY!" Pinkie chirped. "Oh no wait... it's not my birthday. Then where is everypony? Hmm... maybe I can ask those two blue strange looking things over there at Sugarcube Corner."

The BLU Pyro and Demoman stood before the small building that appeared to have been made of... candy and sweets. "Are ye seeing this mate?" Demo asked his teammate.

"Hhmmmhmggmm." Pyro responded.

"Hi there!" Pinkie Pie's high pitched voice hurt the Demoman's brain. "Are you two more hew-mans? Are you friends of Carmine? Why are you dressed in blue? Is it your favorite color? Do you like parties?" Pinkie Pie kept rambling on and on.

"OI LASSIE! yer hurting me head. Stop with the constant yappin' will ye." Demoman finally interupted her.

"MHHHMHMAAHAMHHGGHH!" Pyro mumbled as he raised his flamethrower up with both arms.

Demoman proceeded to take a few more sips of his Scrumpy. Even though he was already drunk. This pink little talking horse that smelled like cotton-candy annoyed the hell out of him. So he could use the extra buzz. "N-now listen' ere l-lassie! W-when I'm done with ye, they gonna hafta' glue ye back-k together you in h-h... ell!" Demoman started laughing at his own drunken ramblings and aimed his grenade launcher towards Pinkie Pie.

"Hey! I'm getting the impression that you're not nice guys at all!" Pinkie Pie proclaimed.

"Oh ye think we're nice guys dont ye? Lassie, If I wasn't the man I was. I'd kiss ye. But now we're gonna blow up yer little town ye see." Demoman said.

"Hmmhahahhaaha!" The BLU Pyro produced an evil mumbled laughter and aimed his flamethrower towards the pink pony.

"Okay... I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable here! So if you don't mind I'm just gonna run away alright?" Pinkie Pie started sprinting off but the Pyro grabbed her fluffy tail.

"Mmmmhhhhmm!" He lifted up the pony and presented it to Demoman.

"Aye. What?" Demo asked.

"MMMPPPPPHMMMPFF!" Pyro started shaking around the pink pony.

"Oh! Ye want me told it for ye so ye can burn it! clever thinkin' there lad! but if ye just take of yer mask it'd be much easier for me to understand ye."

"MMMMHMHM!"

"Alright laddy, ye don't have to get upset." Demo took over the pony.

Pyro prepared his flamethrower to burn to pony as violently as possible.

"Uhmm... HELP!" Pinkie Pie shouted.

"No one's here to help ye now lassie! Burn her good Pyro!" Demoman raised the pony.

"I will lend her my aid!" A tough voice suddenly emerged from behind the BLU's.

"What! Who the hell are ye?" Demo shouted.

"I am Ulfgar the Fearless, the dovakhiin! The last man you will ever see alive."

"Oh ye think yer sum superhero dontcha eh?" Demoman dropped the pink pony and proceeded to take another sip from his Scrumpy. "Ye don't look so tough to me with yer fancy helmet and yer prancing two blue eyes." Demoman was a black Scottish cyclops by the way. With his left eye missing he despised everyone who still had both their eyes.

"And ye call that a sword? THIS is a sword." The BLU Demoman equipped his Persian Persuader blade and charged towards the dragonborn.

"Fool!" Ulfgar shouted as the two clashed blades. But the dovakhiin overpowered him easily and proceeded to slice the Demoman in his legs. "I hate it when weaklings underestimate me." He then kicked the Demoman in the face with his iron boots. Looked like he was knocked out cold. Now the Pyro remained.

"MHMHMMMAAAAA!" Pyro pulled out his flare gun and launched several shots towards the dovakhiin.

Pinkie Pie had meanwhile taken cover behind a dumpster next to Sugarcube Corner.

Ulfgar easily dodged the slow incoming projectiles. He then started rushing towards the BLU Pyro with his blade still drawn.

"MGMHMGGGMMM!" Pyro was furious. He equipped his flamethrower once again and aimed it at the incoming dovakhiin. He pulled the trigger and released a stream of deadly flames directly on his target. Pyro started laughing maniacally.

"I've seen novice mages produce deadlier flames then this!" Ulfgar simply kept rushing through the flames. He was used to fighting dragons for gods sake. He slammed the flamethrower from the Pyro's hands and then proceeded to slice him in the leg causing the BLU Pyro to fall to the ground.

"I see you take comfort in in fire." Ulfgar grinned madly. "Then let me introduce you to the cold winds of Skyrim!"

"IISS SLEN NUS!" He spoke the dragon words for Ice Flesh Statue. It engulfed the BLU Pyro into a block of ice.

"Prepare to meet your gods." Ulfgar slammed his greatsword with all his might into the frozen statue, completly shattering it to bits. BLU Pyro eliminated.

Ulfgar started heading towards the pink pony who he'd thought to be frightened. "Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah! Well those guys seemed like real party-poopers if you know what I mean." Pinkie Pie didn't seem that upset.

"Aye... let's get you to the princess then shall we?" Ulfgar proposed.

"The princess? Oh sure! what's going on anyway?" Pinkie Pie asked as they started heading out.

"I'm not certain. I only know that the one named Discord is responsible." The dovakhiin answered.

"Pftf! Discord? Talk about party-poopers." The pink pony sighed.

"Ye really wanna know who's a party-pooper lassie!" The Demoman suddenly shouted. He sat against the door of Sugarcube Corner holding a strange weapon.

"By the gods! I forgot to finish him off!" Ulfgar shouted. "But he's not going anywhere, I sliced his legs you see." He bragged.

"Oh! Smart thinking!" Pinkie Pie chirped.

"Aye... I aint goin' anywhere. Death is me only way out. BUT YER COMIN' WITH ME!" The Demoman appareantly had planted several sticky bombs from his launcher all around the place. He detonated them with the intention of blowing himself, Pinkie Pie and Ulfgar to pieces. "HAHA! KA-BLOOEEEEEEEY!" the Demoman spoke his last words.

Ulfgar grabbed Pinkie Pie.

"FEIM ZII GRON!" the dragon words for Fade Spirit Bind. Allowing him to become ethereal for a moment. In other words. Indestructible. The explosion blew up half Sugarcube Corner.

The Demoman was now dead. Blown to pieces. Ulfgar and Pinkie Pie were luckily able to avoid the explosion's damage due to Ulfgar's Thu'um. But suddenly he started coughing up massive amounts of blood. The dovakhiin had never used four shouts in one day ever before. His body was hurting all around, and his muscles started cramping up.

"Are you alright?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Aye... just need to lay down for a minute or two..." The dovakhiin started healing himself hoping it would limit the damage done. "I still sense more danger. It's not done yet."

_______

Fluttershy's cottage.

"But princess... I just feel like I'm getting in the way in all of this. These three humans are obviously extremely powerfull... It's like our help isn't even needed." Twilight Sparkle was having a talk with Princess Celestia as they were about to head out and search for their friends.

"Twilight Sparkle. You're my prize pupil and there is nopony in Equestria more promising then you. I'm certain that we will need you and and the other elements to finally put an end to Discord's chaos. Your part has yet to come." Celestia told the purple unicorn.

Twilight Sparkle always enjoyed compliments from her teacher. She started blushing "Oh you're being awfully generous. I'm sure that wh... Princess! LOOK OUT!"

"Zorry to pop in unnannounced. But for ze orders of chaos you must die!" the BLU Spy left invisibilty mode and stood right behind Princess Celestia. He immediatly delivered a backstab to the alicorn's flank. Right next to her cutie mark. Celestia was affected but not nearly enough to stop her. She bucked the Spy to the ground who then returned to the shadows.

"Are you alright princess? What was that!" Twilight Sparkle yelled.

"One of Discord's lackeys." Celestia answered. "I sense this is a cunning individual. Be ready for anything Twilight.

"Comrades!" suddenly the RED Heavy appeared behind the princess and unicorn. "What is happening now?" He asked.

"Oh Heavy! Thank goodness you're back. There's an invisible human around that attacked us so look out!" Twilight Sparkle said.

"Weren't you leaving to get your weapon back?" Celestia asked.

"Da! But Heavy felt bad for ponies and returned to help!" the Russian answered.

"And where is Applejack?" Twilight asked.

"Oh... Applejack went home she told me." Heavy said. Celestia frowned. The Russian had this far never been able to pronounce any ponies name right.

"Oh so she's going back to the farm? Then you might have any idea whe-" Twilight Sparkle was interrupted by her teacher.

"I can see through your shrouds. Reveal yourself!" Celestia pointed at the Heavy.

"Huh? What do you mean princess?" Twilight said.

"Most formidable." The Heavy's voice changed and he started to abandon his disguise. Revealing the BLU Spy once again.

"What? Humans can shapeshift? I had no idea." Twilight Sparkle was amazed.

The BLU Spy aimed his revolver towards the princess. But didn't fire yet. His inner self was still fighting the corruption. "Mon dieu... vhat is going on." His eyes turned back to normal for a second.

"KILL THEM RIGHT NOW!"

The voice shouted through his head once again. "No." The Spy said out loud. "Zis is ze most dishonorable zhing I have ever done." Spy returned to the shadows hoping not to hurt these ponies anymore.

"I am sick and tired of these humans!" Another familiair voice shouted from up in the air. Twilight and Celestia looked up and there they saw Discord just casually sitting on a cloud, eating some popcorn and observing the fight.

"Discord!" Celestia shouted and looked furious.

"Oh hey there Tia! I hope you've enjoyed the first game. A massive failure from my side if you ask me."

"Take your lackeys back and then never return here! Your days of chaos must come to an end!" Celestia yelled.

"Yes yes... You see Tia. Chaos comes in different stages. This was just a preview of the madness to come! I mean seriously, did you really think this is the best I can do?"

"We'll stop you and your evil plans!" Twilight Sparkle shouted.

"Ah yes. Surely the Elements of Harmony can stop a god of chaos. It's not like I just escaped last two times you 'defeated' me hmm?." Discord chuckled.

"Discord... this is no longer a game. When the lives of my little ponies is at stake, I will stop at nothing to finish you off." Princess Celestia stated.

"Oh but it IS a game! I'm glad you're just as excited as me. You'd best prepare yourselves and your inferior humans to the next round. It's gonna be fun I guarantee." Discord snapped his fingers and teleported himself to the cottage.

"First to deal with the annoying human that opposes me!" He snapped his fingers again at which point the still invisible BLU Spy emerged into flames.

"RAAAAWWWHHHAAAAH!" The BLU Spy shouted in agony while being burned alive. He left the shadows only to fall down to the ground. BLU Spy eliminated.

"STOP RIGHT THERE FOUL BEAST!" Ulfgar was way in the background yelling as he spotted Discord. He immediatly started charging towards him.

"Oh yes... this is going to be so much fun!" Discord rubbed his hands evilly and decided it was his time to leave. He snapped his fingers one last time teleporting himself away to his hideout.

"By the gods... I'm too late." Ulfgar said as he arrived together with Pinkie Pie at the cottage. Seeing the princess bleeding.

"I know you've had to deal with other things. Don't worry about it." The princess said. The dovakhiin immediatly started healing the princess.

"COMRADES!" the real RED Heavy now came back from the Everfree Forest holding Sasha in his hands and Applejack on his shoulder. "Little Applepony is hurt! You must help!" He shouted.

"Hey you guys!" Carmine, Rainbow Dash and Lyra also arrived. "We just took out three blue guys at the farm."

"Mah farm!? It ain't blown up is it?" Applejack asked as she was dropped infront of Ulfgar by Heavy.

"Only a little. But we'll fix it later don't worry!" Carmine answered.

"Okay! But we're still missing three ponies? Where are the cutie mark crusaders?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"Oh. I told them to hide in their clubhouse while we went and checked out if everything's safe here." Rainbow Dash said.

"Phew... thank Celestia they didn't get hurt." All ponies were relieved.

__________

Near the CMC clubhouse.

"So what do ya think those big bangs were back in town?" Applebloom asked her friends.

"I don't know... maybe fireworks?" Scootaloo wondered.

"I still can't believe we just get send away after I finally got to see a human!" Sweetie Belle said.

The three sighed of boredom and kept venturing towards their clubhouse. As soon as they arrived they noticed that the door they always properly sealed was now wide open. "Cutie Mark Crusader Investigators!" They all whispered.

The three young ponies slowly got closer and as they did they could hear a strange dripping sound. Then the three ponies rushed through the door getting ready to attack whatever it is that broke into their clubhouse. Their eyes widened and couldn't believe what they just saw.

"OH CRIKEY BLOODY BIGHEADS!" The BLU sniper was busy refilling his jarate in the corner of the clubhouse. When the three ponies jumped in it scared the hell out of him. He startled, tripped over his own feet and dropped out the window. The half-filled jar of piss fell all over his own face.

"Hey look! It's another human!" Sweetie Belle cheered as the three ran back down.

"Yeah, ah guess. But he kinda looks like a strange fellow doesnt he?" Applebloom said.

"Hey mister! Are you friends with Mr. Heavy? He's teaching me how to fly you know. He's really cool! Where are you from anyway? You got any cool stories to tell?" Scootaloo asked.

"Bloody disgusting!" Sniper was annoyed as he spat out his own piss from his mouth. He then pulled out his Kukri. A large curved knife.

"Here's a touching story."

________

Authors note: My longest chapter this far! Really enjoyed writing this one.
So much random stuff happening. :D

Chapter ten. Infiltration.

"And that's how I got me Kukri." The BLU Sniper finished his story and resheathed his knife.

"Wow! That was a touching story!" Applebloom said.

"Yeah! I especially liked the part where he fought with seven crocodiles at once on top of a skyscraper!" Scootaloo said.

"You have such an interesting life mister!" Sweetie Belle said.

"Just call me Sniper mates! Can ya three show me someplace where I can clean myself up?" The BLU Sniper asked the three young ponies still covered in his own urine.

"Well sure! We can take ya over to Ponyville! Ahm sure alot of folks over there would like to meet ya." Applebloom answered.

"Appreciate the offer mate. But I'd rather stick to the shadows for now. What I meant was can ya lead me to a river or something."

"Why the hay wouldn't you wanna go over to Ponyville? They aint gonna eat ya. Besides, theres three more humans like yerself over there."

This interested Sniper. Three humans? He had only spotted the RED Heavy before. Who else was here?

"Yeah! And Mr. Heavy said he was gonna teach me how to fly like a ...uhm... I don't know what he said but it sounded awesome!" Scootaloo said.

The BLU Sniper started reviewing the situation. He's in a different world with talking ponies. That's fine sure. He can get over that fact. But they seemed kind of attached to the RED Heavy. The Russian back on Earth was usually the Sniper's main target. He had killed him more times then he could count. The RED Heavy always beared a grudge against the Sniper. He detested him and his ways of fighting.

Heavy was a beast. Always rushed headfirst to the front of the battlefield blasting everything in sight.

The calm Sniper would remain hidden in the background often changing locations and always carefully picking his targets. They couldn't be more different.

"Listen gals. It'd be best if ya didn't tell anyone that I'm here alright?" The Sniper asked the ponies.

"Hmm... I don't know why but if that's what ya want sure. We won't tell anypony." Applebloom said.

"Appreciated. Now about that river." The Sniper put on his sunglasses.

"Hey! I found those a few days ago and I gave them as a present to Mr. Heavy." Scootaloo shouted.

"Well I just found them lying around in the forest. Besides... they're my glasses!" Sniper said.

"Hmm... Mr. Heavy did say that they belonged to someone named Sniper... Are you friends with him?" Scootaloo asked.

"Nah. I don't have any friends." Sniper said casually.

"What? Why dont you have any friends? You seem nice enough to make lots of friends." Sweetie Belle wondered.

"It's all part of the job mates. Don't worry about it. I just wanna clean my bloody face now if that's alright."

The Cutie Mark Crusaders led the BLU Sniper to a nearby river. The very same river where the other three humans had arrived several days ago.

"Nothin' as refreshing as a gentle stream." The Sniper took of his hat, vest and glasses and started washing himself. "It's best you three go back to your homes now." He said to the three young ponies.

"What! Why? We just met you!" Sweetie Belle said.

"I need sometime for myself to figure out what I'm gonna do next. Requires my full concentration." Actually the Sniper just was hungry and felt like hunting. It's still daylight, so now he could properly scout the area. Look for several ways in and outside the nearby town. And perhaps create a hide-out in the forest.

"Remember you can't tell anyone that ya'll seen me alright?" He mentioned one more time.

"Sure. We won't tell anyONE that you're here okay! And you're always welcome in our clubhouse." Scootaloo grinned.

"Marvelous!" Sniper then hushed the three ponies away and remained alone. Planning his next move.

___________

Back in Ponyville. Fluttershy's cottage.

The humans started reminiscing about the encounters they had with the BLU earlier. Ulfgar told of the flaming maniac and the one eyed drunk he obliterated.

Carmine told that he, Rainbow Dash and Lyra were able to take care a fast annoying brat. A barking rocket launcher wielding soldier and a laid back hard-hatted construction worker.

"Hmm. You tell me you destroyed those... BLU Heavy and Medic got crushed by big kitty. There is yet still more BLU." Heavy said.

"Excuse me." Princess Celestia interupted them. "There was also a human completely dressed in blue here. He wore a mask and possesed magic that allowed him to become invisible. He was... erased by Discord after he escaped corruption."

"BLU Spy is dead then. Puny BLU Sniper remains." Heavy cracked his fists.

"I can't sense anger and lust for destruction nearby anymore. I'm certain all of Discord's minions have been subdued for now." Celestia now turned to Ulfgar.

"Ulfgar... Are you able to heal everypony here?" She asked.

"Aye. I will restore them as much as I am able to." Even though the dovakhiin was exhausted from battle and using multiple dragon shouts he was still determined to help everyone he could. He started with Applejack who's injuries seemed the worst.

She wasn't even able to use her hindlegs after the BLU Medic had cut her. Luckily the dovakhiin gained another level while using his healing magic. Now advancing further into restoration tree he was able to combine magic from both his hands to heal more quickly. As the dragonborn started casting his yellow fancy magic Applejack slowly felt her legs being able to move again. After just ten seconds she was able to stand up . The dovakhiin stopped before he'd use to much mana.

"Now just lay low for a while. No more kicking trees for a few days." Ulfgar said to Applejack.

"Aw shucks. Ahm just glad ah can walk again!" She gave the dovakhiin a hug.

Next was Lyra. She had a nosebleed and a bit of a migraine. Nothing serious. Ulfgar gave her a health potion and told her to move along.

Now Heavy. He had multiple bullet wounds across his left arm and even some stuck in his back. It's a miracle that he's even alive but thank the gods Heavy's a tough guy. Ulfgar once again used his restoration magic which completely obliterated the metal fragments in Heavy's body and started curing the wounds. Very similair to the doctor's medi-gun Heavy thought.

The Princess herself was next. She had a large cut across her flank next to her cutie mark. It was easily restored not even leaving a scar.

Then there was Carmine. He barely suffered any injuries during his battle with the BLU. A few bruises at most. But he was still cut in his fight with Ulfgar once and hit with full force by him in his side twice.

"I don't need your charity." Carmine pushed the dovakhiin out the way as he approached to heal him.

"The faster you're restored, the faster you're ready for the next battle!" Ulfgar said.

"Pfft. I'm not even hurt." Carmine appareantly had a first aid kit hidden in one of the many pockets in his armor and proceeded to take out a band-aid. A Mickey-Mouse childrens band-aid to be exact. He then gently placed it over the gaping wound on his arm. "There. All better now."

The dragonborn facepalmed. "Fine! Have it your way."

Princess Celestia trotted up towards the humans. "You three have proven yourselves to be extremely valueble allies of Equestria. Even though I disagree with your methods, you've provided positive results with minimum collateral damage and injuries. I will see to it that you're all greatly rewarded."

"There is no need for that." Ulfgar said.

"Yeah. We'd do this anyday." Carmine added.

"Is all good. Heavy is happy ponies are not hurt." The Russian said.

"Still. It wouldn't be right of me to not give you something in return. Don't worry. I have something in mind that might suit you three just fine." Celestia smiled. "However don't let your guards down. Who knows when Discord might strike next. We must be prepared and take actions to capture or... eliminate him."

"Aye. It saddens me I had not arrived earlier. Then surely I might've been able to do something." The dovakhiin was dissapointed he just missed Discord.

"I'm certain that in time he will reveal himself again. But for now daily life must continue. I shall return to the castle to bring back to citizens of Ponyville and will proceed to locate Discord's hide-out with my sister. When more information is aquired I'll promise you that you three are the first ones to hear about it." Celestia also said her goodbyes to the other remaining ponies who worked equally as hard. She then teleported herself back to Canterlot.

Ulfgar looked up at the sky, wondering what Discord had planned next. Even though he wasn't in Skyrim anymore. Equestria was still not short of adventures. In just a few days he contacted a different lifeform. Met two equally dangerous humans. Faced off against royalty. Killed a soul-less dragon. Had a fight to the death with a soldier from another world and saved an innocent pony from two crazy BLU's. Not bad actually. Infact, he enjoyed it thoroughly.

But he still longed to cold winds of the north. Back where the people would cheer his name in Whiterun. Back where he was needed, protecting those who cannot protect themselves.

__________

The three Cutie Mark Crusaders arrived back in Ponyville where they were greeted by a cross-eyed grey pegasus.

"Hey girls! Uhmm... Can I ask you why half Sugarcube Corner is blown up?" Derpy asked. She just arrived back in Ponyville after a busy day of delivering mail.

"Hmm... Ah have no idea." Applebloom said.

"Well we heard some loud explosions earlier! But Rainbow Dash and the robot-human went to check it out. Not a clue what happened though. She told us to hide in the clubhouse. That's when we found another human hidi-" Scootaloo was interrupted.

"Sssh! He asked us not to tell anypony." Sweetie Belle whispered.

"Oh he said dont tell anyONE! Not anyPONY." Scootaloo grinned.

"You mean there's another human?" Derpy asked.

"Well uhh... Ye... Ah guess so. But he asked us not to tell. He's a really nice fella though." Applebloom answered.

"Well I won't tell anypony aslong you're sure it's safe. I don't want to see something bad happen to you three." Derpy said.

"Dont worry. He's really awesome. He even told us a story of when he fought with a kangaroo with boxing gloves!" Scootaloo was still impressed of the Sniper's incredibly interesting story.

"What?!" Derpy said shocked.

"Exactly!" Scootaloo said.

At this moment suddenly ponies started getting teleported back one at a time. Slowly filling the town with its citizens once again. Derpy still had no idea what was going on. And the Cutie Mark Crusaders started rushing off again. So she wasn't getting any answers from them.

Still she was slightly interested in this human. Derpy thought the right thing to do would be to inspect this individual and see if it's actually safe for young ponies to be around him. Yes, that's something a reasonable pony would do she thought to herself. "They mentioned their clubhouse. Guess I should start looking there."

And so Derpy ventured forward! In her epic quest to meet this human nopony knew about. She arrived at Applejack's farm which was the fastest way towards the clubhouse. As she soared through the air she noticed an unpleasant sight. Blood. Alot of blood and human corpses... or at least pieces of it.

"What the hay happened here!" Derpy said out loud. "Is this the human
Scootaloo was talking about? But there's three of them. And... they're dead? Also why is there a hole in Applejack's farm?" Derpy didn't know. Whatever happened here must've been very scary. She still decided to check the clubhouse in hope that the human the Cutie Mark Crusaders were talking about was not among these unlucky guys.

As Derpy got closer to the clubhouse she started flying slightly lower. She was able to spot human footprints in the dirt soon enough. And surely enough they led straight to the clubhouse. As the grey pegasus approached it she noticed a strange dripping sound coming from inside. Derpy was actually pretty scared after seeing the bloodbath earlier. But for the safety of her friends she was determined to find out what was in there. She bucked open the door with a devastating pegasus ninja kick.

"CRIKEY MORE BIGHEADS!" The BLU Sniper got startled while refilling his Jarate. He tripped over his own feet and crashed down the window once again. This time however he was able to dodge the incoming stream of piss heading towards him. But he still had a nasty landing.

"Oh my gosh! Are you hurt!" Derpy rushed downstairs.

"Just my pride." Sniper answered. "Bloody hell. I don't hope this becomes a recurring joke."

"Oh thank goodness... I didn't mean to startle you. But there was alot of blo-" Derpy got interupted.

"OI SHEILA! What the bloody hell is wrong with your eyes!" Sniper shouted.

"Sheila? My name's Derpy and what do you mean what's wrong with my eyes." The pegasus started frowning.

"I mean. Ya look like Solly when he's hit his head a few times to much you know what I mean? Tell me, you like cupcakes dont ya?" Sniper giggled.

"Actually I prefer muffins."

"Anyhow. I meant no offense by it. Looks fine just the way it is!"

"Ooookay... So can you tell me what happened here?" Derpy asked.

"Well that's a story for ya. You see me and my team arrived earlier here today. Not a clue how. All I remember is some weird goat thing."

"You mean Discord?"

"I have no bloody idea what a Discord is. Anyway. Me and my team arrived here from another world. With cactusses and stuff. But when we got here the team started acting all freaky and whatnot. Bloody wankers suddenly tried to change me into colored rain."

"That sounds horrible!"

"Yeah! So I made a run for it. Shortly after I noticed the RED Heavy is here as well. He's like my number one enemy back home. That's why you can't tell anyone I'm here ya got that?"

"Well sure. But why can't you just be friends?" Derpy asked.

"Where I'm from ya can't have something like friends. It's just to live and die one day to another."

"Well but we aren't in your world now right? Here in Equestria everypony can be friends!" Derpy said cheerfully.

"Ha! You try telling that to that fat blockhead. Nah, I think it's better for me to lay low for now and gather as much information as I can."

"What kind of information?" Derpy asked.

"Ya know the usual. How the hell I got here. How I can get back and most importantly... A name and face on who did this."

"I'm sure Discord is the one who brought you here. He's a real meany you know. And I guess I can ask around in Ponyville on how you can return."

"Much appreciated. Just don't mention me to anyone alright?"

"Sure sure. Do you have any place where you're staying?" Derpy asked.

"I guess this place right here is as good as any."

"You can stay at my place. I have an extra guest room." Derpy thought the human was a nice guy. A bit weird yes. But leaving him all alone would be cruel.

"Much appreciated again. But that's a bit to close to comfort for me. If the RED Heavy finds out I'm here things might get ugly."

"But it's awfully cold at night... Are you sure that you'll be fine?"

"I'm positive." Sniper was in fact a survival-expert. One time he carved open the corpse of a water buffalo and completely emptied its insides. After that he slept in its remains for a good twelve hours. Best nap ever.

Derpy promised the Sniper she would keep in contact with him and that he was always welcome in her home. He certainly looked like a nice guy indeed. But he seemed bothered by the presence of the RED Heavy in Ponyville. So Derpy decided to keep her mouth shut and not tell anypony about him.

________

Three days later.

Things have been going smooth in Ponyville past few days. Most damage has been repaired once again. Carmine and Heavy had placed the Dispenser the BLU Engineer left behind in a safer place. Right next to Heavy's bed in the barn. Lyra decided to tolerate the humans for now. At least untill they screw up again.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders and Derpy Hooves frequently visited the BLU Sniper providing him with food and water. Even though he kept telling them he didn't need any help. They kept insisting so eventually the Sniper gave up and accepted their generosity anyway.

The mane six and the deadly trio were enjoying a classy picnic in the park.

"A picnic? Is this what the great and powerful dovakhiin is reduced to? By the gods! I yearn for more battle. Has your princess not found anything about Discord yet?" Ulfgar grew impatient.

"Calm down Ulfgar... The princess will let us know as possible. You just need to relax for now." Twilight tried to calm him down.

"Relax? How can I relax in this situation! We need to find this Discord right away!" the dovakhiin grew more annoyed by the second.

"Twilight Twilight!" Spike suddenly came rushing towards the group. When he arrived he was out of breath, struggling to speak. He fell down to the ground and magicly barfed up a letter.

Twilight picked up the scroll and started reading. "Wedding? Who's wedding?" She continued reading the letter from Celestia and she asked if Twilight and her friends would help with certain tasks preparing to the wedding. The mane six all were very excited about this. But still weren't sure on who was getting married.

Spike had meanwhile stopped hyperventilating from running a hundred meters. "Oh wait... I was probably supposed to give you this one first." Spike handed Twilight a second scroll.

She started reading out loud. "Princess Celestia cordially invites you to the wedding of princess Mi Amore Cadenza and... My brother!" Everypony gasped. Every human did not.

"Thats great news Twilight! Yer brother is gettin' married!" Applejack said excited.

"Yeah... great news indeed. So great he didn't even bother to tell me himself. Just by a lousy letter. Thanks alot Shining Armor." Twilight started levitating one of her sandwiches from the picnic.

"Hey Twilight. Just thought I'd let you know a really big decision that changes everything. Oh nevermind. You'll hear all about it in the invitation!" She mimicked her brothers voice while making the facial expressions with the sandwich.

"Oh my god. Did you see that?" Heavy was amazed.

"What?" Carmine asked.

"The sandvich... It talked! Truly magical and delicious!" *NOM NOM NOM* Heavy ate his thirteenth sandwich.

Twilight meanwhile rambled on about her brother and this Cadenza. Fluttershy decided to interupt her.

"Uhmm... Twilight. You seem upset." The pink-maned pegasus said.

"I'm sorry. it's just that me and my brother were always really close. I just can't believe he didn't tell me about it."

"Maybe he's really busy. We'll hear all about it later won't we?" Applejack said.

"I guess so... He is captain of the royal guards afterall."

"The royal guards huh? Those clumsy golden armored ponies right?" Carmine laughed.

"I can assure you Shining Armor is not a clumsy pony. He was personally chosen by Celestia to become captain." Twilight defended her brother.

"By the gods. Discord still roams free. How can you ponies be so foolish to casually celebrate a wedding in these times." The dovakhiin said clearly annoyed.

"Oh yeah. There's also a letter for you three guys." Spike belched out a third letter.

"What! Give me that!" Ulfgar grabbed the scroll and started reading.

My three human friends.

With the upcoming royal wedding defenses in Equestria must be properly seen to. Discord surely must see this as a chance to cause more chaos on such a crowded event. There is a strong magical barrier set up around Canterlot to protect it at all cost.

However. It's better to be safe then sorry. Therefore I would like to personally invite you three humans to the wedding as well. Not as guests. But as my personal guards.

If Discord makes an appearance he must be dealt with. It doesn't matter how. Also, you three will be paid an substantial amount for this job.

I hope to see you and my little ponies at the wedding soon.

-Princess Celestia.

"By the gods. Now we're reduced to Hold Guards." Ulfgar was dissapointed but got over himself as he thought of the possibility of Discord coming. Surely more great battles must be coming up ahead.

"So we're getting paid alot huh? I wonder if there's actually anything in Equestria I'm interested in buying..." Carmine didn't know what to expect. But he was up for the job anyway. Why the hell not?

"Heavy does not like weddings. But I do like crushing puny enemies." The Russian was ready as always.

"Then let's prepare!" Twilight shouted.

________

"Hey there Sniper." Derpy greeted the BLU Sniper who was relaxing in the CMC clubhouse.

"G'day." He said.

"Are you still not bored from just sitting here everyday?"

"Ha! My job sometimes requires me to stay put for days. I can keep myself entertained."

"Wow... And I thought delivering mail was a tough job... What's your job anyway?" Derpy wondered.

"Oh crikey. That's a story for another day. Too much gore." The BLU Sniper was surprised that the ponies actually had no idea what a sniper was. "Anyway. Did ya get some more info for me today?"

"Actually I do. You said you just didn't want to meet those humans right?"

"That's correct."

"Well... I've been invited to a Canterlot wedding as a guest. If I'm able to smuggle you with me, we might be able to seek audience with the princess. She'll know more about this. I'm sure of it."

"A Came... Canterlot wedding?" Sniper decided not to question these weird names. He had heard of this princess before when he was spying in Ponyville a day earlier. Appareantly she's a powerful magician or something. "Fine. I'll take it. At least there I wont run into that damn RED bastard. How are you gonna smuggle me with ya then?" Sniper asked.

"Oh don't worry. I've already come up with a master plan!" Derpy said excited.

________

The day before the wedding.

"By the gods! What is this monstrosity!" Ulfgar was shocked.

"It's just a train." Rainbow Dash said.

"No, I don't get this either. You ponies have trains and refrigerators But you don't have cars or even televisions." Carmine was slightly confused.

"Let's just get in... We don't want to be late do we?" Twilight said.

The group walked towards the train and Carmine spotted a familiar face. The pegasus commander he met in Canterlot earlier.

"Hey you! Guy! Dude..." Carmine couldn't remember his name.

"It's Dark Spear. We're here to escort you again." The pegasus sighed.

"Oh you! I knew that already. How have you been?"

"Oh fine. Us guards had to clean up that mess of a dragon you left behind."

"Well that's what you get for failing orders Soldier! Anyway, this wedding involves your captain right?"

"Yeah. Captain Shining Armor isn't able to do his duties and have a wedding at the same time. So he left me in charge. He's using his magic to keep up the barrier around Canterlot and it's up to us to look out for everyponies safety."

"Alright let's hope you fare better this time then you did against the dragon. If something were to happen of course." Carmine teased the guard.

"Ughh... just get inside. We'll discuss work later." Dark Spear pointed the humans and ponies inside.

Derpy Hooves and an unusually large box were standing a bit further on the train platform.

"Oi Sheila... you said that blockhead wasn't gonna be there." Sniper whispered to the grey pegasus from inside the box. There was a small hole in the box so he was able to see all three humans enter the train.

"Be quiet!" Derpy bucked the box. "We can't look suspicious!"

"This was a bloody terrible idea. Let me out right now!" Sniper whispered slightly louder.

"HALT!" Commander Dark Spear started approaching Derpy. "What's in the box?" He asked.

"Oh that's a very good question. I've been invited to the wedding you see." Derpy started small-talking.

"Yes. And?"

"And what do ponies bring with them on weddings?"

"Uhh... Presents I guess?"

"Exactly. And that's what this is. A present." Derpy was sure she fooled the guard.

"Oh really? Then what kind of present could be in this enormous box?" Dark Spear wondered.

"Oh... but if I tell you that it won't be a surprise anymore right?"

"Ma'am I need you to open the box right now." Dark Spear started getting serious.

The BLU Sniper in the box had meanwhile pulled out his Kukri and got ready for battle if neccesary.

"No wait! I'll be honest with you." Derpy shouted.

"Continue then."

"This box... my present. It contains a giant muffin."

"A giant muffin you say?"

"Yes. That's my gift for the wedding."

"Wow really? Can I have a look then?" Dark Spear was in fact also an admirer of muffins.

"No! I've already properly sealed it. If you open the box right now you'll ruin it!"

"Don't worry ma'am. I completely understand." Dark Spear signalled two unicorn guards to help the pegasus carry this giant box inside the train.

"I bloody can't believe that worked." Sniper thought to himself. However he was in a bad situation. Travelling to an unfamiliar place in the same room with one of his greatest enemies. He kept an eye on the humans through the small hole in the box the entire time. Observe. Study. Learn. Then he'd surely have the upper hand if things got nasty.

However there was one thing that bothered him. He saw the RED Heavy carrying a dispenser with him. With this he'd have unlimited ammo and health regeneration. He remembered just a few weeks ago the RED's build several dispensers in front of their spawn and the RED Heavy just wouldn't stop shooting the entire game. Killing everyone who attempted to leave the BLU base.

"Haha! Forward glorious train!" Heavy shouted as the train started taking off.

Twilight Sparkle was meanwhile still troubled by the fact her brother suddenly is getting married. To a princess nonetheless. Who is this Mi Amore Cadenza anyway? She sighed but was then approached by the COG soldier.

"What's with the long face?" Carmine asked.

"I'm just so mad at my brother. That he'd just do this without telling me earlier. And ever since I've moved to Ponyville I started seeing him less and less. If he gets married now, I think I might never even see him again." Twilight Sparkle was genuinely upset.

But something snapped in Carmine's brain after hearing her last words. He remembered the deaths of his own brothers. "At least you still have a brother." The COG soldier walked away insulted.

Twilight frowned. "What's wrong with him?" She turned to her friends.

"Oh uhmm... Mr. Carmine seems to get upset if he thinks about his brothers." Fluttershy said after experiencing this in her cottage a few days ago.

"Why?" Twilight asked.

"Oh that's because... they died in a war." Fluttershy peeped.

"Oh..." Twilight felt kind of bad and let her own emotions forgot about those around her. She decided to apologize to Carmine.

"Mr. Carmine?" Twilight Sparkle approached the lone COG soldier who had moved one cart further.

"Yeah?" Carmine said.

"I'm sorry that if I insulted you in any way. I didn't know you've... lost your brothers."

"Oh pfft. Don't worry about it. Sorry if I seemed agitated. Didn't mean anything with it. You got your own things to worry about right?"

"Yeah... I still have a bad feeling about this wedding... Let's just hope I'm wrong."

"Hey everypony! Have you heard yet?" Lyra suddenly stood next to Twilight and Carmine.

"Ah! What?" The COG soldier got startled by the overly excited green unicorn.

"I was personally chosen to become a bridesmaid of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza!" Lyra bragged.

"What? You actually know who she is?" Twilight asked.

"I have no idea who she is! But I must've been chosen because I'm so important." Lyra said.

"Don't you think its kind of weird that you get to become a bridesmaid to a pony you've never met?" Twilight was suspicious.

"Oh no Twilight! You and your friends are always stealing the spotlight. Not this time though. Now it's Lyra's time to shine! You're just being jealous." Lyra then trotted off bragging to all other ponies that she's a bridesmaid at the wedding.

"Now I definitely think something bad is going to happen." Twilight sighed.

"Yeah. Even I think this looks suspicious. But don't worry. You just handle things with your brother in Canterlot and let us humans and the guards take care of the rest. If something were to happen of course." Carmine tried to comfort the purple unicorn.

"Yeah I guess we're lucky to have you three guys around. If Discord shows up he could still ruin my brother's wedding."

Carmine looked up out the window and noticed the city of Canterlot in the distance. It still looked the same as last time. However there was now a gigantic pink force-field surrounding the capital of Equestria.

"Looks like they've really improved on security this time." He started inspecting his weapons. Everything still seemed to work just fine. He took of the safety of his lancer.

"Whatever's coming. We're ready for it." He said determined.

__________

Derpy Hooves was still sticking close to her package. It wouldn't be good if everypony found out she's smuggling a human to Canterlot. But she was determined to help the BLU Sniper. He shouldn't just hang out in a treehouse all day. That's no way to live. The sooner she could help him return back to his own world. The better. Surely the princess can help. She was certain.

The BLU Sniper was sitting uncomfortably in the box for the past few hours. It looked alot larger from the outside. He was still pretty annoyed by the situation he was in though.

"Oh well. It'll make a good story for later I suppose." The Sniper sighed.

________________

Authors note: The season finale was so epic that I had to include it in my fic. Stay tuned for a chaotic wedding!

Chapter eleven. A Canterlot Wedding. Part one.

The train started nearing Canterlot. Getting closer to the enormous barrier by the second. As the train passed through the force-field the ponies and humans felt a slight tingling feeling. They were welcomed by a small army of more royal guards.

"By the gods. Once again more beings that cower behind their magic." Ulfgar didn't like the ponies defensive approach.

"Oh, we should just have the royal wedding out in the open. With Discord loose I'm sure that's a good idea." Rainbow Dash frowned at the dovakhiin.

"Exactly! Welcome your enemies with open arms. Then destroy them honorably." Ulfgar was once again severely underestimating Discord.

"Well not everypony is like you and can just breath flames at will." Rainbow Dash had never thought she'd ever meet anypony that's more self-confident then herself. "Wow. Just look at all those guards!" She was amazed.

"Well I do think it's neccesary. Royal weddings do bring out the strangest ponies." Rarity said.

"Aaaaaaachoo!" Pinkie Pie sneezed up some confetti.

"HA! Little pink pony is funny." Heavy smiled.

"Well, it's not a party without Pinkie Pie around. And I even brought my party-cannon for more extreme fun!" Pinkie Pie jumped up and down excitedly showing off her weapon of mass enjoyment.

"Oh my god. Little pink pony has gun! Heavy is sure this will be very good day now."

Little did the Russian know it was not a cannon from his world. Oh no. This cannon literally shot parties. I don't know how it's possible, but we just don't question anything involving Pinkie Pie.

"Where do we put dispenser?" Heavy asked the COG soldier. The dispenser could provide them with infinite ammo. That's a good thing.

"Uhh... I have no idea. Let's find out." The group left the train and Carmine started searching for the royal guard commander.

"Hey Dark... uhh Steel? What's the plan." Carmine asked the guard.

"For the last time. It's Dark Spear! And I'll explain your orders in a second. I need everyone to leave the train first." The guard said.

Dark Spear turned around and noticed Derpy Hooves struggling to get her giant package out of the train. "You there! Help that poor mare with her package. By Celestia, if that muffin doesn't arrive safely I'll have your horn in a stew when this is over!" The commander ordered a royal unicorn guard.

"Y-yes sir!" The unicorn got slightly startled but proceeded to do as told.

"Watch out. We got a badass over here!" Carmine joked.

"Ughh." Dark Spear facehooved. "Listen. You can insult me as much as you want. But know one thing. I was personally chosen by the princess to take charge here. I take great pride in this responsibility, and with Captain Shining Armor absent I will do all in my power to ensure this wedding's safety. And since you three are hired by the princess you fall under my command. Do I make myself clear?" He said to the three humans.

"Geez man. You don't have to be so uptight. We won't cause any trouble I promise. And with us around, what can possibly go wrong?" Carmine said.

"Good to hear you're so confident. Anyway. I'm sure Twilight would like to meet up with her brother. I'll lead you to him." Dark Spear led the group forward.

________________

Just outside the train station.

Derpy Hooves walked up front. The royal guard unicorn who was levitating the large box with his magic followed.

"So where do you want me to put this thing?" The guard asked.

"Oh... you know. Just a bit out of town." Derpy answered.

"Out of town? Shouldn't we put it with the other presents?"

"Oh I dont think so... It's just that uhh..." Derpy had struck a wall. She couldn't come up with any valid reason for her to take her 'present' outside town.

"I find this most suspicious." The guard dropped the box to the ground and stared at the grey cross eyed pegasus. She then turned her face away from him. "Yep, she's definitly acting suspicious." He thought to himself.

The unicorn then proceeded to open the package. But before he was able to unwrap the ribbons he had the scare of a lifetime. A arm suddenly punched through the package and from the hole created emerged a tall human fully dressed in blue. The human then proceeded to grab the royal guard in a sleeper hold before he was able to react. As the guard's eyes slowly started closing he couldn't help but notice the human's creepy expression. The guard then fell unconscious to the ground.

"Oh my gosh! Did you kill him!?" Derpy was shocked by what just occured.

"Nah, just put him to sleep. Wanker will wake up in an hour. Maybe two." The BLU Sniper hid the guard's body in a bush.

"Did you really think that was neccesary then?"

"Well you blew our cover Sheila. Had to do something didn't I?"

"Yeah, but didn't you say you just wanted to avoid the big human? You said you didn't care if the ponies found out right?"

"Oh yeah... Guess it's just survival instincts then."

"Ughh... You really have to work on your social skills Sniper. You can't just attack somepony because your 'instincts' tell you to."

"I'll consider it. Anyway, what's the plan now mate?"

"Well... just a while back I granted the princesses a favor by delivering an emergency message to Ponyville. They're really kind ponies and they asked if there's ever anything they could do in return I shouldn't hesitate to ask for their help. So I guess I'm calling in the favor now." Derpy said.

"Crikey, ya got connections with royalty? That's gotta be something special I reckon." Sniper was amazed.

"Nah... I've only spoken to them twice now. But I'm sure they'll help. However I don't think I'll have a chance to speak to them before the wedding, so you still have to wait for a bit."

"Not a problem mate. Ya help is much appreciated." Sniper had already spotted a nice place for him to hide for the time being. The barrier surrounding the town was enormous and even a part of the mountainside and a forested area with large trees were inside it.

"So you're gonna behave then when I'm gone?" Derpy asked.

"I will. And I never break my promises that I guarantee ya."

"Good. I trust you. The wedding is tomorrow night. You've got more then enough food and water for the day and I'm sure you can handle yourself. Just be patient alright? I'll try and approach one of the princesses today if I'm able to, but I can't promise you anything yet."

"Yeah, take yer time. As long as that RED blockhead won't know I'm here, I'm fine with everything."

Sniper waved the grey pegasus off and afterwards he started climbing a large tree. Gain as much height as possible. Sniper wanted to see as much of the city as was able. Learn about it by seeing. Get an mental image of the roads and possible ways to escape if the RED Heavy was to find out about him. Sniper needed more information before he'd decide to put a bullet in his fat head. And since the town was heavily guarded. combined with the stories he heard of Discord from Derpy, Sniper couldn't help but feel it in his guts that something extremely bad was bound to happen any time soon.

The Sniper had only twenty rounds left for his rifle. Not nearly enough. So if something were to happen, and he'd run out of ammo he would need to get close to that dispenser the Russian was carrying with him. Sure, he had his Jarate and Kukri. But there's nothing more satisfying then blowing a enemies head straight off. His name is Sniper afterall.

As the BLU Sniper reached the top of the tree. He started scouting the area through the scope of his sniper rifle. He noticed alot of fancy-dressed ponies further in town. But there was one that stood out among all these ponies. On top of the highest building in town Sniper spotted a much larger pony. Complete with magical horn, wings and a multi-colored mane waving around her majesticly. She was also watching the area through a telescope for some reason. He guessed this to be the princess.

"Boom headshot!" The BLU Sniper pretended he fired a shot. "Bloody great security here." He sighed.

____________

Inside Canterlot.

"Captain Shining Armor!" Dark Spear saluted his superior. "Your sister, her friends and the human security have arrived."

"Twilee!" The unicorn known as Shining Armor immediatly rushed over, excited to see his sister again. "How was the train ride kid?"

"How dare you not tell me in person you're getting married?" Twilight pushed her brother aside. Still clearly annoyed by this fact.

"I'm sorry Twi. But you should know how busy things have been lately. We just had a dragon attack last week. And we've gotten strange reports from the gryphon kingdom two days ago. And oh... Discord escaped? Things have been really hectic lately."

"Then why are you holding a wedding in these times? Couldn't you just wait untill all this is over?" Twilight said.

"Pfft. Look around you. We're surrounded with guards and the barrier I've set up is at maximum strength. I'm sure even Discord will think twice before he'll attempt something that stupid. Besides, Cadence insisted we'd have the wedding as soon as possible."

"And another thing! Who is this Princess Mi Amore Cadenze anyway?"

"Oh Twilight. Princess Mi Amore Cadenze is Cadence. Your old foalsitter."

"Cadence? As in THE Cadence? As in the greatest foalsitter in the history of foalsitters?"

"Hehe, you tell me. She was your foalsitter."

Twilight remembered her childhood. When she was younger she didn't have alot of ponies she considered friends. There was always Shining Armor ofcourse. But one more pony was embedded in her mind.

Cadence. A pink alicorn with a multicolored mane who was always kind to her, and made her feel good about herself again if she ever felt left out. The purple unicorn had nothing but fond memories of her old foalsitter.

Cadence had a special talent Twilight remembered. Where ever she went she could spread her love to all ponies around her. Twilight Sparkle suddenly felt alot better about her brother's wedding.

"You're marrying Cadence! You're marrying Cadence!" Twilight hopped around happily.

"...I hope I'm not interrupting anything important..." A voice suddenly stated from behind them.

Twilight Sparkle gasped as she saw her old foalsitter stand before her.

"Cadence!" She rushed over.

"Sunshine Sunshine. Ladybugs awake."

"Clap your hooves and do a little shake!"

Twilight started shaking around her ... flank. A little game she and Cadence had when they were younger. Everyone around them facehooved and facepalmed upon seeing the purple unicorn's awkwardness.

"Uhh.. What are you doing?" Cadenze asked.

"Cadence! It's me Twilight!" She said cheerfully.

"Uh-huh." Princess Mi Amore Candenze decided to ignore the strange purple unicorn she appareantly didn't remember.

"Cadence will check in with you guys later, to see how preperations are going. I think I speak for both of us when I say; we couldn't be more excited to have you here. Right dear?" Shining Armor said.

"Absolutely!" Cadenze glared evilly towards Twilight.

Twilight didn't like this situation one bit. Did Cadence really didn't remember her? Well she'll find out later.

"I'm so excited to meet these humans. I heard they single handedly took down the dragon that attack Canterlot from my commander. Why don't you introduce me to them Twilee?" Shining Armor asked his sister.

"Oh yeah... sure." She trotted back to the group.

"This here is Mr. Heavy."

"Greetings to little shining pony. May we crush our enemies in glorious victory this day." The Russian said.

"Woah! This guy is big! Is he the one that grabbed the dragon's jaws with his bare hooves?" Shining Armor asked Dark Spear. The commander nodded to confirm this.

"Well glad to see that you're on our side uhh Heavy? Please enjoy your stay at the wedding." He went over to meet the next human.

"This is Ulfgar. He's from a strange world where he is born with the actual soul of a dragon!" Twilight introduced the dovakhiin.

Ulfgar didn't speak. His eyes remained fixated on the alicorn this entire time. He knows.

"A man of few words huh? I can respect that. Enjoy your stay in Canterlot." Shining Armor said. He was kind of freaked out by the dovakhiin though. That's normal after the stories he heard about the dragonborn from Celestia.

"And this here is Mr. Carmine. He keeps saying that he's the leader but I'm not really sure who actually is."

"Yo, what's up?" Carmine raised his arm for a handshake.

"Well you seem rather laid back. I'm fine thank you." Shining Armor now raised his hoof for a hyrbid hoof/handshake of uncomfortableness.

"So you're the captain if I'm right?" Carmine asked.

"That's right. And for good reasons." Shining Armor bragged.

"Well If something were to happen let's hope you fare better then your commander. He nearly got me killed last time I was here!"

"Ah yes, Dark Spear told me of your... misscommunication. But yet you two both stand here alive and well. So all is good is it not?"

"Yeah ofcourse. I'm just teasing you." And Carmine enjoyed messing with the guards. However since they're soldiers just like him, he held some respect for them. There's more then enough dangerous beings in Equestria. Surely the royal guards are capable of some good things.

"And these are all my friends. They were asked by Celestia to handle some of the preparations." Twilight lastly introduced her brother to the rest of the mane six.

"And I'm sure you'll do an excellent job. Speaking of which. I need to return to mine." Shining Armor made sure the COG soldier was watching as he used his magic to add another layer to the giant barrier he created surrounding the entire city.

"There. Impressive right?" Shining Armor bragged.

"Uhh... I don't know. Humans can't use magic." Carmine responded.

"What? But princess Celestia told me atleast one of you was abl-" Shining Armor was interupted.

"Yeah, that would be him." Carmine pointed at the dovakhiin who still remained motionless. "And he's no normal human."

"Oh right." Shining Armor decided not to further question these humans as his duty called for him right now.

Princess Mi Amore Cadenze suddenly approached the group with a vile look in her eyes. "I will not allow these humans at my wedding!" She said.

"But they-" Shining Armor was interupted.

"No! Just look at them! They're dressed as savages and are absolutely terrifying to look at. Our wedding is supposed to be a event to be remembered. With these brutes around surely nothing good can happen."

"But honey. They're princess Celestia personal guards. They'll have to attend." Shining Armor tried to calm down his fiancée.

"They're what?" Cadenze asked.

"They're going to be guarding the wedding. These are the three creatures that helped save Canterlot and Ponyville earlier."

"Fine..." Cadenze gave one last evil glare towards the humans.

Heavy didn't like this princess Mi Amore Cadenze. But he promised to never harm a pony. So he just decided to let things happen.

Carmine also didn't trust her one bit. She seemed awfully mean, atleast next to the other ponies in Equestria. And she also ignored Twilight even though they clearly have a past together. Something just isn't right here. He was gonna keep an eye out on her.

When the alicorn stopped speaking the dovakhiin gave her a diabolical smile. He definitly knows. "You're all fools." He whispered silently, still with his terrifying expression. Luckily no one seemed to have heard him.

But Cadenze saw this. She'd have to get rid of him. She knew exactly who this person was. The one that faced Celestia earlier. A very dangerous individual indeed.

"Well anyway. I say; let's get preperations started. I'm off to the barracks for now. I'll leave the humans in charge of guarding you while you're checking up on everything, is that alright dear?" Shining Armor asked Cadenze.

"Oh yes sure. I'm sure things will work out." Cadenze gave one more evil glare towards the dovakhiin who gladly returned it.

"Yes... I'm certain your wedding will be a day to remember." Ulfgar said with an evil tone. This isn't the first wedding he'd ever participated in.

"Wow! You actually got him to speak! I'm sure things will go smoothly. Have fun!" Shining Armor kissed his fiancée goodbye and left with commander Dark Spear.

Twilight who was confused by Cadence's atttitude still decided to stick with their plans to handle preparations right. She had already send her friends away to handle their personal jobs. Twilight herself was the one in charge, making sure everything goes as planned. Rainbow Dash was off practicing her sonic rainboom she was asked to perform at the wedding. Fluttershy and her bird choir were in charge of the music performance. Applejack was handling catering. Rarity was designing dresses for the bride and bridesmaids. And lastly Pinkie Pie was preparing the afterparty.

______________

Princess Celestia started lowering the sun and slowly the darkness of the night appeared above Equestria.

"Rest my sister. As always I will guard the night." Princess Luna relieved Celestia of her duties and started overlooking the town of Canterlot and its surroundings through a telescope.

She overlooked the three humans who were with Princess Cadenze and Twilight Sparkle walking across town. She also noticed Rainbow Dash flying around still trying to perfect her sonic rainboom.

But then her eyes were fixated on a grey pegasus. One she remembered clearly. Derpy Hooves. The mail mare that delivered the message to Ponyville. She was most suspiciously wandering around town. Repeatedly looking behind her to see if somepony was following her.

"We shall see what you are hiding." Luna didn't like spying. Okay she did. But if somepony is hiding something, surely it can't be anything good.

Luna kept following the grey pegasus movements through her telescope as she suddenly started leaving the town. Into the forest. Yet still within the barrier. She noticed a tall figure approach her.

"It appears there's more then three humans among us." Luna said interested. Surely she would need to further investigate this fourth human.

__________________

Meanwhile at Derpy and Sniper.

"Any news mate?" Sniper asked.

"Uhh. No not really..." Derpy answered.

"What? Then what the bloody hell have ya been doing all day?"

"Well I had to pick out a dress for the wedding first ofcourse."

"Okay..."

"Then I wanted to look for the princess."

"And then what?"

"Well, I got distracted by some things..."

"Like what?"

"Muffins!"

"The hell?" Sniper was confused.

"Nah, just kidding. I can't just walk up to the princesses you know. They're extremely busy, especially now with the wedding. I tried and I couldn't get into the castle. Something about security reasons. But I'm sure I can ask them after the wedding."

"Ughh... Then just bloody say that from the start. Hold on a minute." Sniper asked Derpy to wait. Nature called and Sniper hadn't refilled his jarate yet. Now is a good a time as any right? He stepped a few meters away behind a tree and Derpy started hearing that strange dripping sound again.

But the BLU Sniper was prepared this time. The last two times he took a piss it didn't end pretty. Yep there it is. Again someone sneaking up on him. They sure knew to pick the right time. But Sniper was ready. He quickly finished his business and prepared to strike first this time.

"Halt creature from another world! What brings thou to Canterlot on thi-" Princess Luna who approached the human was interrupted by a glass jar filled with yellow liquid straight to the face. It shattered on impact completely covering the princess of the night in the BLU Sniper's piss. She looked furious to say the least.

"Hah! Not this time ya bigheads!" Sniper said victorious.

"Oh dear... Sniper... what have you done..." Derpy rushed over and saw the situation wasn't looking good at all.

"What? She tried to jump me, you saw that!" Sniper said confused.

"YOUUUU!" Luna shouted even louder then her normal royal canterlot speech. "You will face our rightful vengeance for this... Oh who am I kidding! This is disgusting." Princess Luna spread her wings and took off.

"We will clean ourselves up and then you will face our never-ending wrath! Be prepared!" The princess of the night shouted as she left.

"You really messed up this time Sniper..." Derpy facehooved.

"What? What did I do?" He still didn't get the situation.

"You just threw that... thing at one of the princesses. Princess Luna to be exact."

"Oh crikey. Then this won't end well."

____________________

Back in Canterlot.

Twilight and Cadence along with the three human guards had spend their day watching preparations. Twilight started distrusting Cadence even further now after she had been bossing around and complaining about everything all day.

She ate Applejack's delicious food with a fake smile and then simply threw it away when no pony was watching. She complained that Fluttershy's birds were singing false. She despised the dresses Rarity had put so much work in. And even though the bridesmaids seemed to like their dresses she asked for them to be changed as well. She insulted Pinkie Pie who was showing off her amazing party games and dancing moves right in her face. But no pony seemed to be bothered with her insults all day. Noooo, just because she's a princess and a bride everypony is being nice to her.

But Twilight Sparkle knew better. And she was gonna have a word with her brother about this. There's something sketchy about this princess Mi Amore Cadenze. "I'm going to see Shining Armor now I think. Are you three going to be alright?" She asked the humans. It was getting late anyway.

"Yeah. I'm just gonna check in with the barracks. Want to tease Dark Spear a bit more." Carmine started heading off.

"Heavy will go and eat Applepony's delicious apple sandvich again." The Russian left next.

"Alright then I'm off to my brother." Twilight looked at the dovakhiin. He nodded in return.

Now just Ulfgar and princess Mi Amore Cadenze remained. The alicorn glared evilly towards the dragonborn.

"Mind coming with me?" She asked.

"Ofcourse... princess." Ulfgar said with a degrading tone.

The dovakhiin started following the pink alicorn. They kept walking and walking, streets were getting emptier. More deserted. They eventually arrived at a small shack just outside town. But before the princess was able to open the door Ulfgar drew his blade on her.

"I can see through your shrouds. Nothing I haven't faced before. Do not think me as a fool." He said with a serious tone.

"Oh... but you are a fool." Cadenze answered.

"Choose your next words wisely. For they could be your last." Ulfgar stated.

"You are a fool for trusting Celestia. I know what you most desire..."

"You know nothing!"

"You just want to return home don't you?"

Ulfgar remained silent.

"Celestia is lying to you! She's only using you humans to get rid of Discord. You three mean absolutely nothing to her."

"I don't care as long I can return to my land."

"But you can't... For you see, you're already dead... But don't worry. Because revenge can become a reality. You'll just have to join me." Cadenze said. Her eyes started glowing bright green and so did the magical aura from her horn.

A force of magic then pushed the dovakhiin into the shack. As he got smacked against the wall he noticed three unconscious ponies inside. One of them being Lyra.

Ulfgar was then levitated by the alicorn's magic once again. Holding him against the ceiling. He felt as if he was getting choked and reality started turning upside down. A magic, unlike any other took advantage over his desires and love to the lands of Skyrim. Corrupting the dovakhiin to its will. He felt himself losing consciousness but before he did he cursed the alicorn's with his last breath.

"One down. Two to go." Cadenze sealed the door again and then teleported off.

________

Back in Canterlot.

Twilight who was on her way to her brother was during her travel interupted for a few minutes as she saw princess Luna shouting violently while flying above Canterlot. Luna had noticed the purple unicorn and rushed over. She started rambling nonsense in her royal Canterlot voice. Atleast Twilight Sparkle wasn't able to comprehend what she was saying. But after she finished shouting the princess immediatly took off again. "Guess it wasn't anything important. Strange though." Twilight thought to herself.

Eventually Twilight Sparkle arrived at Shining Armor's house. Ready to have a talk about this supposedly super nice bride. She knocked on the door.

Shining Armor opened the door and was overjoyed to see his sister again. Even at this unexpected time. "Twilee! You're big brother's looking pretty good? Don't you think?" He said showing off his uncle's best suit.

Twilight just looked sad.

"Uhh... Everything okay?" He asked.

"We need to talk. I think you're making a big mi-" Twilight was interupted.

"Uh-hum!" Princess Mi Amore Cadenze appeared from behind them. Coming down a stairs.

"Oh hi sweetie! I didn't know you were home already."

"She sure has a way of sneaking up on ponies." Twilight whispered.

"Could I speak to you for a moment dear?" Cadenze asked.

"Heh. Better see what she wants." Shining armor poked Twilight.

The two then entered the next room and clearly started arguing. Twilight decided to eavesdrop. Or even better! Spy on them. She peeked through a small opening in the doorway.

"I told you I didn't want you to wear that!" Cadenze said.

"But this is from my favorite uncle."

"And?"

"And I think I should wear it."

"Are you disagreeing with me?

"I guess I am!" When Shining Armor said this his eyes started twirling and he reached out to his head. As if he was having a migraine. But then suddenly Cadence approached him with her green magic.

"Oh dear, let me fix you right back up." She shot a beam of green magic against Shining Armor. "Feeling better?"

"Uh huh." Shining Armor said. Still with his eyes twirling and green of color.

"She isn't just unpleasant and rude... She's downright evil!" Twilight Sparkle quickly left the building. Leaving her brother and the evil alicorn.

She immediatly started rushing towards her friends. Surely they'll help her. She bucked in the door. "Shining Armor is in alot of trouble! You have to hel-" Twilight stopped talking as she noticed her friends were all wearing dresses. "Dresses?" She asked. "What are you d-" Now she was interupted by Fluttershy.

"Can you believe it! We're gonna be Princess Mi Amore Cadenze new bridesmaids!" Fluttershy said.

"New bridesmaids? What happened to the old bridesmaids?" Twilight asked.

"She didn't say. But she did tell she'd love, love, love it if we'd fill in for them." Applejack said.

"Seeing as we've been working so hard and everything." Rarity said.

This was hopeless. Her friends were also completely blind to Cadence's evilness. She'd just have to wait for now. Come up with a plan for tomorrow.

__________

Back at Sniper and Derpy.

"Face me human! And know my vengeance will not be swift but most painful!" Luna shouted as she returned to seek revenge.

Sniper was hiding behind a tree. Derpy hovered above him.

"You need to apologize Sniper!" Derpy whispered.

"Bloody hell, are you crazy? Didn't ya hear her talk about wrath and vengeance and whatnot. I don't think she'll take an apology." Sniper said.

"You can atleast try!"

"Oh crikey. I got nothing to lose anyway."

Sniper revealed himself from his cover. "Oi Sheila!" He shouted. "I'm mighty sorry for what I did to ya. And if it's any consolation it ha-" He was interupted by a dark blue magical power blast.

Sniper dropped to the ground and then coughed up some dust. "Told ya it was a bad idea."

Luna approached the BLU Sniper and stared him down. "Foolish creature!" She shouted. "You truly thought to outsmart the princess of the night! Brace yourselve for well deserved judgement!"

"No stop please!" Derpy shouted.

"Young subject. Why is it thou was hiding this creature!" Luna asked while still forcing the BLU Sniper to the ground.

"I wasn't hiding him! He was just hiding for the other humans. He's scared of one of them."

"Hmm. Then why is it this human attacked me while we were welcoming him!"

"Because he's stupid and anti-social. He thought you were going to attack him."

"OI! I'm not bloody stupid." Sniper said still pinned to the ground.

"You see! I was going to ask you or princess Celestia to help if I was able to. But the guards wouldn't let me in the castle." Derpy said.

"Hmm is this true. Art thou not an evil human that comes to spread chaos here in Canterlot?" Luna asked the human.

"Uhh yeah. I'm just hiding for that RED blockhead here. And I just wanted to get some information, and this mare right here told me this was the place to go."

"You talk of the red human? Are you from his world?" Luna asked.

"Yeah. I just wanna know how I got here. Who did this and how the bloody hell I can get back."

"I'm certain Discord is the one that caused your sudden arrival in Equestria. And if you truly come from the same realm as the one known as Heavy, there is but only one way for you to return." Luna said.

"Oh crikey."

_______________

The next morning.

In the royal chambers Celestia, Shining Armor, Cadenze. The mane six excluding Twilight Sparkle were practicing the ceremony. There were also several guards. They consisted of Carmine, Heavy and Dark Spear and a few more royal guards.

"Where is dragon man?" Heavy asked.

"Probably screwing around somewhere. But where the hell is Twilight? She seemed so upset yesterday." Carmine said.

"If your man refuses to show up for his duty he will not be paid obviously!" Dark Spear stated, clearly annoyed by Ulfgar's absence.

But then suddenly somepony bucked in the door! It was Twilight Sparkle. She was determined to put a stop to this charade.

"I'm not going to stand next to her! And neither should you!" She shouted.

Shining Armor looked at his finacée clearly emberassed by his younger sister. Cadenze frowned at him. "Sorry. I don't know why she's acting like this." Shining Armor said.

"Maybe we should just ignore her..." Cadenze said.

"You have to listen to me!" Twilight shouted again.

"Oh goodness are you okay?" Fluttershy tried to stop her. But was pushed aside.

"I'm fine!" Twilight said.

"Ya sure about that?" Applejack asked but was also pushed away by Twilight's magic.

"I got something to say!" Twilight shouted. "She's evil!" She pointed at princess Mi Amore Cadenze.

Everypony gasped. Once again, every human did not.

"She's been mean to my friends all day! She obviously did something to her bridesmaids! And yesterday I saw her using a spell that made my brother's eyes go all..." She started twirling her eyes to try and imitate it.

Celestia stared awkardly at the pink alicorn. Twilight was sure she has everypony on her side now. She grinned looking the pink alicorn straight in the eyes. Surely she had her beaten.

"Oh! Why are you doing this to me!" Princess Cadenze started crying and ran off.

"Because you're evil! EVIL!" Twilight's voice echoed throughout the entire chambers. "And if I don't stop you, you're gonna ruin my brother's life!" Twilight returned back to the group, confident of her victory. But she bumped into her brother causing her to fall to the ground.

"You know why my eyes been going all twirly? It's because that ever since if started using that protecting spell. I started getting terrible migraines. Cadence wasn't using spells on me, she was using her magic to HEAL me." Shining Armor paused for a moment. "And she decided to get rid of her bridesmaids after she found out they were only doing it to become Canterlot royalty!"

"But I-"

"And if she hasn't been nice to your friends it's because I'm so busy that she has to make all the decisions of the wedding."

"Bu-"

"And she's really stressed out because it's really important our big day is perfect! Something that obviously wasn't important to you." Shining Armor looked his sister straight in the eyes.

"Now if you excuse me. I need to go and comfort my bride. You can forget about being my best mare. In fact, I wouldn't show up to the wedding at all." Shining Armor left behind a sad Twilight Sparkle.

"Come on y'all... let's go check on the princess." Applejack said and the ponies plus Spike left not saying a word to Twilight.

"But..." Twilight tried to get the attention of her teacher.

"You have alot to think about." Celestia who felt insulted left the chambers and the guards followed. So did Heavy. Those were his orders afterall.

Dark Spear wanted to follow. Protecting the princess was his number one priority. But he was stopped by Carmine. "Wait." The COG soldier said.

He approached the sad purple unicorn and helped her back up. "Hey cheer up." Carmine said.

"But I've acted so horrible in front of my friends. I must look like a monster to them now... Maybe I was being overprotectice... I could've gained a sister... But I lost a brother."

"Hey come on. We all make mistakes. I'm sure they'll forgive you. How can a cute little pink pony be evil anyway?" Carmine said.

"Hmmmghmm wrap it up. We should stay close to the princess." Dark Spear said annoyed.

But then a force of magic suddenly slammed the door shut and the room started getting engulfed in darkness.

"The fuck is going on?" Carmine said confused.

Suddenly they heard mad laughter come from behind them as they saw princess Mi Amore Cadenze teleport back in the room.

"Another human, a royal guard commander and the only pony that was suspicious of me! This must be my lucky day." She tapped her hoof twice on the ground and suddenly green chaotic flames emerged beneath the two ponies and human feet. It seemed as if they were slowly being dragged to hell.

"I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID! THAT PONY IS EEEEEEVIIIIL!" Carmine shouted before they were completely swallowed by the demonic flames.

Authors note; Not to much happened this chapter. But soon shit will get real.
Soon!

Chapter twelve. A Canterlot Wedding. Part two.

"Ughh... What the hell happened?" Carmine wondered as he regained consciousness. He had no idea how long he's been out cold. He looked down and noticed two knocked out ponies. Dark Spear the royal guard commander and Twilight Sparkle. Slowly he started remembering the events that occured earlier. "That evil bitch!" He said.

It appears they're underground. Definitly in a cave. There was barely any light. Just the twinkling of crystals and distants rays of sunlight from the ceiling. The COG soldier started kicking the royal guard commander. "Hey wake up dude."

"Hmmmppppmmmmggg... Huh what?" Dark Spear's dreams were rudely interupted. "By Celestia! What are we doing here?"

"I don't know. Green demonic flames. Evil magical pony. Remember?" Carmine said.

"I know that! But this is the cave beneath Canterlot. It's been abandoned for decades. Just a few know of this place."

"Okay... do you know a way out?"

"I said it's been abandoned for years. I've never been here."

"Oh right..."

"Anyway. Let's wake her up." Dark Spear knew Twilight Sparkle was an outstanding student in the teachings of magic. Surely her magical abilities could help them out. Or at least provide some more lighting. The situation was looking bad and Dark Spear had only one duty. Protect the princess at all cost. And he wouldn't be able to do that from here.

"Uhh Ms. Sparkle." He gently poked he purple unicorn attempting to wake her up.

"EEEEEVIIIL!" Twilight shouted as she regained consciousness. "Wait... where are we?"

Dark Spear had to regain his stature as he got startled from the sudden shouting by the unicorn. "Uhh... We're in the cave beneath Canterlot. It seems princess Cadenze has trapped us in here."

"Ha! I told you all from the beginning she was evil." Twilight bragged, but then she realised how serious the situation was. Her brother, her friends, the princess and all ponies in Canterlot were in great danger. And Discord wasn't the one behind it this time. She couldn't believe her old foalsitter had become like this. It just didn't seem possible. But it was a reality. Princess Cadence is evil and must be stopped.

"Okay. Let's get the hell out of here." Carmine started searching for possible paths to lead them outside again. But everything seemed sealed off. Nothing but giant crystals blocking their path.

"By Celestia. There must be a way out." Dark Spear said.

"Shhh... Be quiet." Twilight Sparkle could've sworn she heard something from behind a certain crystal. She tapped her hoof on it a few times. It was hollow. There was definitely something behind it.

"Stand back!" The purple unicorn said as she prepared to blast their way in. A purple aura started surrounding her horn and eventually released a laser like beam. Blowing a hole into the crystal formation.

"Ah-hah! We found you!" Twilight shouted as she immediatly spotted a terrifying looking princess Mi Amore Cadenze cowering behind some rocks.

"Twilight! It's me! You have to help me please!" Cadence begged but seemed happy to see the purple unicorn.

"Yeah right!" Twilight rushed over and slammed the pink alicorn to the ground. "Like I'm helping you corrupting my brother even further!"

"That's right Twilight! You hold her down and I'll cut her up!" Carmine shouted from behind them, preparing his chainsaw.

"No wait please!" The pink alicorn was terrified. "The Cadence that you met is an imposter! She imprisoned me just like you three!"

"Ha! Likely story!" Twilight said still forcing Cadence down to the ground.

"Sunshine. Sunshine. Ladybugs awake."

"Clap your hooves and do a little shake."

Even though Cadence wasn't able to perform the ridiculous dance that came with the song, Twilight immediatly knew this was the REAL Cadence.

"You remember me!" Twilight was overjoyed.

"Of course I do. How could I forget the filly I loved to sit for the most." Cadence said.

"So wait... This pink pony isn't evil?" Carmine asked.

"Who is your... friend?" Cadence asked Twilight. She had never seen a human before.

"Oh this is Mr. Carmine. He's a human that lives with us in Ponyville for the moment. He was hired by Princess Celestia to guard the wedding."

"Yo." Carmine was still confused.

Twilight who was glad to see that the Cadence from before is an imposter and not the pony she remembered. Still, she didn't know what the fake Cadence's intentions were. Apart from stealing her brother of course. She decided to question her old foalsitter.

"Then who is this other Cadence?" She asked.

"Her real name is Chrysalis. She's a changeling and queen to her subjects. Their kind are able to feed on the love of anypony and are able to take their physical forms."

"Wait what... There's more villains in Equestria? You mean this isn't Discord again?" Carmine wondered.

"I don't think Discord has anything to do with this. But we still have to save my brother and my friends! It doesn't matter from what." Twilight stated.

"Heh. My brothers might be long dead now. Let's make sure yours won't follow." Carmine said determined.

"I live to serve the princess. Her safety comes before my own. We must leave this wretched cave at once and reveal the imposter to everypony." Dark Spear remained vigilant.

"My Shining Armor... Is he alright?" Cadence asked the royal guard commander. She already knew who he was. Shining Armor was a busy stallion, and was often discussing ideas with the pegasus commander.

"Apart from the fact you just told me there's somepony feeding on his love. He's looking pretty fine to be honest. Complained about migraines though, but I thought it would be natural after using such a powerful spell." Dark Spear mentioned the barrier. But now he noticed those small details he missed. Maybe he could've prevented all of this. But it's too late for that now.

"Alright. Let's go!" The alicorn, unicorn, pegasus and human started blasting more random holes in the crystal room. Soon another opening appeared and they ventured forward. Eventually they'll find a way out.

They were not aware there was something more lurking deep down the cave underneath Canterlot.

________________

Canterlot. The castle. A few hours before the wedding.

Celestia was feeling troubled. She hadn't seen her prize pupil Twilight Sparkle all day. Sure, she acted out of place the other day. But Twilight would always eventually do the right thing. Celestia was certain she would.

And another thing bugged her. Ulfgar hadn't shown up for his duties since yesterday. Nopony knew where he was. And now Carmine mysteriously dissapeared as well. Luckily the one known as Heavy weapons guy remained loyal to his job. The Russian was currently with Applejack and Pinkie Pie.

There weren't any signs of Discord's possible attack on Canterlot. Thank goodness. Celestia continued wandering through her palace and eventually got closer to her sister's quarters. Often they'd share their wisdom. Maybe Luna had the same troubled feelings. She decided to meet up with her sister.

Celestia started nearing Luna's room but then suddenly noticed a tall skinny human walking in his underwear through the palace halls. Oddly enough he was still wearing a hat and sunglasses.

"G'day mate!" He said as he passed.

"Well good day to you as well fine sir." Celestia said. It's always nice to see humans being polite.

"... Wait a minute." Celestia stopped walking and turned around. "Who are you?" She asked flabbergasted.

"Oh. I'm Sniper. Nice to meet ya." He said with a thick Australian accent.

"Snoipah?" Celestia wasn't able to hear his name properly.

"Sniper..." He said more British this time.

"Right... Then may I ask why there's an unknown human wandering through my castle halls?

"Oi. I didn't ask for this. I was just fine relaxing in the forest. Some loud-mouthed dark pony dragged me over here."

"My sister?"

"Yeah I guesss so." Sniper was certain this was the other princess Derpy spoke about. He already spotted her once before, and the crown made it even more obvious.

"Sniper! What are you doing?" A voice suddenly shouted from behind them.

"Ms. Hooves?" Celestia said confused as the grey pegasus appeared next to her.

"I'm so sorry princess! Sniper!" Derpy yelled at the Australian. "I know that ponies don't wear clothing all the time. But from what I can figure humans don't do the same! Hide your shame!"

"Oh crikey. I was just looking for a bloody bathroom. Already found another jar and filled it if ya know what I mean."

"And another thing! You keep saying you're a professional and that you have standards. But that now seems awfully hypocritical seeing as your job requires you to throw... urine at ponies!"

"What?!" Celestia responded shocked.

"Oi! It was a godhonest mistake. And my jobs involves a lot more than just throwing piss at people. I'm a bloody professional."

"I don't care! Apologize to the princess right now!"

"What? What did I do?"

"Just apologize!" Derpy demanded.

"Ughh... I'm sorry princess." Sniper took of his hat.

Celestia's brain was full of questions. She didn't understand the situation one bit. Another human? Does this mean Discord did infiltrate them? No... He seemed genuinely nice. A bit weird though, and Celestia sensed no anger or corrupting in him. But then why is he here? And why is Derpy here?

"Can somepony please explain to me what's going on?" Celestia asked.

"Allow us to answer your questions!" The princess of the night arrived next.

"Luna! What is the meaning of all this?"

"You there! Show the human to the bathroom and leave us in private!" Luna asked Derpy in her royal Canterlot voice.

"R-right away princess!" Derpy left and dragged the BLU Sniper along with her.

"Can you please explain to me why you've brought a human and citizen into your quarters?" Celestia asked.

"Ah yes. I found the human yesterday, prowling in the forests. After some... unfortunate incidents it appears that he's not one of Discord's minions."

"Then why is he here?"

"I do think he was sent by him after all. He told of that he arrived with his colleagues here in Equestia. The ones that tried to destroy Ponyville. It appears he resisted Discord's corruption, just like the other three humans."

"Then why isn't he with them?"

"Yes... That's what I asked at first. But he is from the same world as the one known as Heavy. And appareantly he's his greatest enemy."

"Then isn't it dangerous to have him around? If they're truly enemies, would they not attempt to to harm each other?"

"He said that by killing him, his colleagues back home might get in more trouble."

"Then you told him of how he could return?"

"I did. But he seemed set out for revenge. He holds a grudge against Discord for corrupting his friends. He decided to stay on his own will."

Celestia understood the situation slightly better now. Luna had appareantly met this human hiding in the forest and found out of his intentions. And seeing as the RED Heavy might hold a grudge against Sniper, she decided to hide him in her part of the castle. Where nopony is allowed except Celestia and Luna. But if the BLU Sniper had truly decided to stay on his own will, he could become another powerful ally to Equestria. Finally some good news.

"But then why is Ms. Hooves here?" Celestia asked.

"Oh, she seems to have him under her control. I just thought it'd to be funny." Luna grinned.

_________________

Thirty minutes before the wedding. The cave beneath Canterlot.

Princess Cadence was rudely interupted during the middle of her song, which described her love for Shining Armor.

"No. Just don't do that anymore. Seriously..." Carmine begged.

"But why?" Cadence asked.

"You can't just spontaneously start singing. Really? We're in a serious situation here." Carmine was annoyed by the beatiful singing voice of princess Cadence.

"But that's how things go in Equestria. If the situations calls for it, we sing a song." Twilight said.

"I don't care. We have bigger things to worry about." Carmine hated spending time underground. Back on Sera there was nothing but bad things hiding in there.

"I agree with Carmine. We have no time for this. We need to see to the princess's safety as soon as possible." Dark Spear said.

Upon travelling further the group discovered a large mining cart. Just nearly big enough for the four of them to fit in. The spiralling tracks would either lead them further inside, or straight to an exit. They hoped for the second possibility.

"Are you sure about this?" Twilight asked as she used her magic to clear out the cart which was filled with some rocks.

"Pfft. I've seen baby rollercoasters more dangerous then this. I'm sure we'll be fine." Carmine said even though the cart looked as if it was in terrible condition.

"We have to try. I can't just sit here and do nothing while Shining Armor is being brainwashed!" Cadence said.

Carmine, Cadence and Twilight stepped in the cart. Dark Spear pushed the cart forward and quickly jumped in before it started riding in its full speed. The four were nearly thrown outside through the crazy turns and loops this ridiculous cart track led hem. Whoever designed this track was clearly insane.

"Oh great..." Carmine said as he noticed the tracks started coming to an end. Of course it's unfinished. Clearly nothing good will happen to them. The cart was launched in the air and the groups was thrown of the cart. Looking down on what seemed a bottomless pitt.

Princese Cadence who was an alicorn quicly spreak her wings and held Twilight Sparkle tightly before flying off to safer grounds with her.

Carmine could just watch the two fly off. Is this how he'd die? Falling from a mine cart? Seemed to follow the Carmine tradition of stupid deaths. He just closed his eyes and prepared for what was coming.

But Dark Spear. The pegasus royal guard commander immediatly rushed after him. He grabbed the COG soldier with his marshmallow hooves, but he was to heavy for him to lift. Carmine was at least three times the size of a normal pony plus he carried a ton of armor and weapons. But the pegasus was able to slow his fall a bit. The two eventually crashed on a ledge deep inside the seemingly bottomless pit.

"AH MY LEGS I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS AH!" Carmine shouted dramaticly upon landing.

"Oh buck! This isn't good!" Dark Spear responded worried.

"Nah, just kidding. I'm fine." Carmine just stood up again, laughing at the royal guard.

Dark Spear facehooved and just flew off again.

"Hey what the hell? Don't leave me here asshole!" Carmine shouted at the pegasus who just left without saying anything.

"Do you think they're alright?" Twilight asked her old foalsitter.

"I hope so... I can't hear them anymore." Cadence answered.

"Look there!" Twilight pointed at a higher platform in the cave. One extremely close to where the sunlight was entering. If they'd teleport there they might find a way out.

"Hmm..." Cadence felt hesitant towards leaving the commander and the human. But Shining Armor had to be saved.

But as the two prepared to teleport off they spotted the black pegasus flying back up.

"Is Carmine alright?" Twilight asked him.

"Yeah. He's down there. Annoying as always... But I can't lift him up by myself. I'll need some help." Dark Spear looked at princess Cadence.

"Fine. Twilight, you and Dark Spear go up there. Me and the human will join you soon." Cadence rushed down the pit to teleport herself and Carmine towards that higher point in the cave. Maybe something they should've done from the start.

But no time to worry about the past. Their way out was near and nothing could stop their determination to save Shining Armor and stop whatever Chrysalis had planned next.

Carmine got startled as the pink alicorn landed next to him. It was pretty dark so he didn't see her coming.

"Come quick human! We found a way out!" Cadence shouted right in his face.

"Ah! Oh uhh... How? Are you going to lift me out?"

"No, I'm going to teleport us... just sit still." Cadence prepared her spell.

"Wait wait!" Carmine stopped her. "I don't know. Teleporting sounds kinda sketchy to me. Grenades are one thing but myself... Oh no."

"There's no time for this. We need to get going right away!"

"Okay... Does teleporting hurt?" Carmine asked.

"Ughh..." Cadence rolled her eyes and teleported them off anyway. Much to Carmine's surpise.

"There. Was that so scary?" She asked when they arrived safely to where Twilight Sparkle and Dark Spear now resided.

"Don't just do that!" Carmine responded still shocked.

"Uhmm... You guys. We might have a problem..." Twilight said slightly disturbed.

"What? I'm going to see Shining Armor right away!" Cadence said. But as she turned around she saw three ponies in dresses. They had bright green glowing eyes. The fake princess Cadence's bridesmaids!

"You're not going anywhere." The three ponies said simultaneously with scary voices.

"Oh shit! Lyra's a zombie!" Carmine shouted upon seeing this.

"They're not zombies. They're corrupted by Chrysalis." Cadence told the group.

Yes. That's probably a more logical explanation. But they didn't have time to deal with this. The wedding could've started already.

"Just go." Carmine said. "I'll handle this."

"What? Are you sure?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, I'll finish this quickly and then I'll join you guys. You've got other things to worry about don't you? Go and help your brother alright?" Carmine wanted to help her the unicorn in any way possible. This seemed like the only way.

"Fine... Thank you Carmine." Twilight teleported herself and Dark Spear to the top of the cave. Close to the sunlight. Cadence followed immediatly. They saw a path leading upward. Definitly going outside.

"You can't kill them remember!" Twilight shouted at the COG soldier who remained further down.

"Yeah sure! Just freaking go." Carmine shouted.

Carmine started thinking of possibilities on how to recover these three 'zombie' ponies without permanently injuring them. He had some ideas.

________________

The three ponies kept following the only available path. They just hoped they'd be on time. They had to stop the wedding no matter what.

After a good five minute sprint through the narrow pathway that led upward they finally arrived at something that resembled civilization. Well, they found an abandoned shack. Just outside Canterlot.

Just before the three stormed outside, Twilight couldn't help but notice two things.

The iron helmet Ulfgar always wore and the steel greatsword he dragged with him everywhere he went were just lying abandoned on the floor. The last time Twilight saw the dovakhiin was when he was alone with the fake Cadence. She hoped he was alright. But decided to take his blade and armor with her to the castle. Might come in handy. Who knows?

She levitated the dangerously large greatsword with her. And she had put on the helmet. It smelled terrible and was still soaking with the human's sweat. Something that would've bothered Twilight Sparkle if the situation were slightly different. But she didn't care. Saving Shining Armor was their top priority now.

________________

Canterlot outlook.

Sniper upon hearing how he could return home hesitated for a while. Seemed awfully easy. But he was glad to know his team was safe and sound. But revenge will be his. Discord will learn he messed with the wrong mercenary.

So he decided to stick in Equestria for a while. Luna had offered him shelter in the actual bloody palace. Normally Sniper would decline such a thing. But with that crazy RED Heavy around he thought it'd to be for the best. At least for now. Here in Equestria he's just the Sniper's problem. But if he'd kill him right now, the RED Heavy would be a much greater problem to the BLU.

Now after meeting Celestia he felt slightly more comfortable. Sure, he's living with magical ponies of royalty. Thing's couldn't be more weird. But it's alot better then waking up in his van everyday. Or next to that annoying Scout and Soldier in their base. Nope, Sniper was going to relax for a while and pop some magical heads off.

The RED Heavy was just chilling here, so why not Sniper as well? He could return at any time. It's simple really.

"Anyway... I thought ya ponies had a big wedding today. Why aren't you there?" Sniper asked Luna.

"Well, somepony needs to provide security... With two of the human guards missing, an absent commander and a captain who's participating in the wedding there's just me left." Luna said peeking through the telescope.

"Crikey!" Sniper was surprised to hear Luna was able to speak normally as well. He had only heard her use the royal Canterlot speech.

"Hmm what's this?" Luna spotted something interesting. The wedding had already started and most civilians were actually participating. The town looked nearly deserted. But she noticed three ponies sprinting towards the wedding halls.

Twilight Sparkle holding a giant sword? Seems legit. Oh and there's the pegasus commander. Ah and lastly there is... princess Mi Amore Cadenze?

"What is this madness?" Luna said confused.

"Oi Sheila." Sniper put his arm on the princess's shoulder. "We might have a bigger problem."

Sniper pointed to the northwest. There they spotted a swarm of hundreds. No wait, literally thousands of flying insectoid pony-like creatures head towards Canterlot. If the shield were to fall, they were doomed. They had not excepted an attack of this scale. Luna knew what these were. Changelings. She heard of the stories and often read about them.

"It appears we have been tricked." Luna said. She realised the Cadence she just spotted was the real one. And the one getting married right now most likely an imposter. Which meant Shining Armor would be their target. If that's the case the barrier would cease to exist eventually.

"Let us brace ourselves. If they break through the barrier, we're the only ones standing between them and nearly everypony in Canterlot. I will protect them at all cost!" Luna said determined to defend her subjects.

"Thousands of creepers. Twenty bullets. Hardly seem fair eh? For them at least ha!" Sniper chuckled as he was eager to kick some ass.

Luna, Sniper and a handful of royal guards that remained stood ready to defend Equestria's capital city. Luna just hoped Twilight Sparkle would be able to reveal everything to Celestia in time. And where the buck are Ulfgar and Carmine?

The swarm of creatures had now arrived above the barrier and started simultaneously stomping on the purple force-field. Slowly but sure it started cracking.

_________

The cave beneath Canterlot.

"Pony Punch!" Carmine shouted as he gave Lyra a decent slap against her snout.

"OUCH! Hey, that hurts!" Lyra whined.

"Wow... I can't believe that worked. What a useless corruption." Carmine facepalmed.

The two other zombie ponies were still trying to poke Carmine to death or something. It was rather embarrassing.

"Huh? What happened?" Lyra asked, not remembering a thing what occured.

"Well. The thing ismmggmmhpp..." Carmine was interupted by a blue hoof in his mouth. He proceeded to use his new Pony Punch to release the two other bridesmaids from their corruption as well.

They woke up and had the same questions as Lyra. Didn't remember a thing. Suddenly got chosen bridesmaids even though they didn't knew the princess. And now they're in a cave. What a day.

Carmine prepared to explain. But was interupted as the entire cave started shaking and a terrifying roar echoed throughout the entire place. No... It wasn't a roar. It was more of a scream. A sound far to familiar to Clayton Carmine.

"I'll explain later. We need to get out of here RIGHT NOW!" He stated. "If that is what I think it is. We're in a buttload of trouble."

Lyra as she got terrified by the sudden roaring throughout the caverns, still prepared to teleport them out of there. She already spotted the same exit where Twilight and Cadence left. She prepared her spell.

Carmine didn't like teleporting. But if... that thing is down there, he wouldn't wanna stick around here.

________________

Discord was watching. Not for long, but he was watching. He had no clue what was going on. After he found out about the barrier, he decided to infiltrate them from underneath. Genius right? But there was more happening in Canterlot.

Chaos. But not caused by him. Discord was unsure if he liked this or not. But this is still a part of the games. The finale is yet to come. He'd never forgive anyone interupting his fun.

_________________

At the actual wedding.

"Princess Cadence and Shining Armor. It is my great pleasure to pronounce you.." Celestia was about to marry the two but was interupted just in time.

"Stop!" Twilight Sparkle bucked in the door once again and dropped the blade and helmet she was carrying on the floor.

Everypony still looked at her as if she was crazy. Her friends were indeed the new bridesmaids. But they'll learn the truth now.

"Ughh... Why is she being so protective over her brother." The fake Cadence said. Celestia frowned at her. "I mean... Why does she have to ruin my special day." She started whining.

"Because it's not your special day! It's mine." The real Cadence entered the chambers. Everypony gasped. Heavy just thought he was seeing double.

"A-ah don't understand. How can there be two of 'em?" Applejack asked to nopony in particular.

"She's a changeling. She takes the form of somepony you love and gains power by feeding off your love for them!" Cadence said.

The fake Cadence gave one final evil glare towards everypony. But decided this charade took long enough. Now is the time to reveal herself. Everything went according to plan.

A green beam of magic started engulfing the fake Cadence. She grew larger. Her coat became extremely dark grey. Her wings became more insect like. Her legs were filled with holes. She grew a long teal mane, and to end things she had terrifying green eyes and actual fangs. This was one mean looking pony that's for sure. She was now Chrysalis, queen of the changelings.

She was about the same height as Celestia. But her horn was at least twice the size of any normal unicorn. It was also twisted in an unnatural way.

"Right you are, princess." Chrysalis started chuckling. "And as queen of the changelings, it is up to me to find food for my subjects. Equestria has more love than any place we've ever encountered. My fellow changelings will be able to devour so much of it that we will gain more power than we have ever dreamed of!"

"They'll never get the chance! Shining Armor's protection spell will keep them from ever even reaching us." But as Cadence looked at her fiancé she noticed he was completely under Chrysalis's control.

"I see you already understand the situation. The shield grows weaker every second. And my subjects are already prepared to strike."

"No... Shining Armor." Cadence sadness took over after seeing they were to late. Is there any hope left?

"Soon my armies will break through! First, we take Canterlot. And then, all of Equestria!" Chrysalis ended with her evil laughter.

"No. You won't." Celestia said determined. "You may have made it impossible for Shining Armor to perform his protection spell, but now that you have so foolishly revealed your true self, I can protect my subjects from you!" She then rushed over and clashed horns with the changeling queen.

The two prepared for epic battle. A light show that made everypony gasp. But things were bad. Everyone already noticed the barrier breaking. So did the RED Heavy. He was the only one here to protect the ponies as Celestia was busy battling the imposter. Heavy understood all of this. This was their fight, he then picked up his dispenser and started heading outside.

"Where do you think you're going?" Dark Speak who arrived with Twilight and Cadence asked the Russian.

"Little black ponies will break shield soon. But Heavy will guard this place. No one will enter alive." Heavy said determined to destroy the entire army of changelings on his own. They're just little evil ponies. Not a problem right? He put down his dispenser and guarded the entrance. Everyone that wanted to enter had to go past him.

Dark Spear decided to let the human go. It was actually some smart thinking of him. "Surely the princess herself can handle..." Dark Spear stopped as he saw the magic of Chrysalis overpower Celestia. Burning her horn and causing her to drop her crown. Everypony once again gasped.

"Ha! Shining Armor's love for Cadence is even stronger than I thought! Consuming him has made me even more powerful than Celestia!" Chrysalis laughed once again.

"Princess Celestia!" Twilight Sparkle and her friends immediatly rushed over to the defeated princess.

"The elements of harmony... get to them and use their powers to defeat the queen." Celestia told her subjects.

"You didn't think I'd let you leave so easily now did you?" Chrysalis chuckled.

"Don't listen to her. We have to get the elements!" Twilight and her friends ran past the queen heading towards the exit.

"Stop them!" Chrysalis shouted.

Then suddenly, blocking the ponies path appeared Ulfgar the fearless, who was appareantly hiding in the ceiling this entire time. He did not look normal to say the least.

Instead of his own trusted greatsword he was now wielding two smaller blades. Black and green of color they slightly resembled Chrysalis's horn.

His face, usually covered by his helmet was now still covered mostly by his long brown hair. His normal blue eyes were now glowing bright green of corruption. Still covered in the same dirt since he arrived in Equestria and with unshaven beard he looked terrifying. Even to the mane six.

"None shall pass." The corrupted dovakhiin stated while pointing his blades at the ponies.

"This isn't good at all..." Twilight said.

_______________

Somewhere in Canterlot.

"Shit shit shit!" Carmine and the bridesmaids had finally found the exit. But what they saw back in the caverns was not something pretty. Not at all. And the situation seemed kind of messed up here as well. There were literally thousands of bug-ponies stomping on the barrier. It was extremely close to breaking now.

But there! In the distance, There's princess Luna and some guards. Carmine had to warn them.

"Yo! YOOOOO!" Carmine started flapping his arms around to get their attention. "We got a situation going o... who the hell are you?"

"G'day mate. Name's Sniper." Sniper said welcoming the COG soldier.

"Shit man, I'm Carmine. No time for introductions. We got a big ass ugly on its way here." Carmine explained as simple as he was able.

"Oi. Ya see those thousands of creepers on the roof over there? That's our problem right now." Sniper said.

"No, What I saw was much MUCH more dangerous, even ten million insect ponies can't compare." Carmine might've exaggerated a little.

But then, right on queue the ground beneath them started shaking.

"An earthquake?" Luna asked.

"Oh you wish..." Carmine was worried.

The ground beneath them started collapsing now. A giant hole was created and the terrifying screams of an unknown creature could be heard. It seemed to emerge from hell itself. It then went silent for a second.

But at that moment the barrier Shining Armor created shattered into bits. The changelings immediatly started flying past Carmine and Sniper's group, and started heading towards the RED Heavy. Who was guarding the stairwell leading up to the wedding halls. With his dispenser of course.

"We have to stop them!" Luna shouted and prepared to take off.

But then suddenly a boulder was thrown from the giant hole in the ground in the middle of Canterlot. The large rock crashed just a few meters away from the group. Next they could hear the terrifying screams of the unknown creature again.

"FUCK IT! RUN!" Carmine shouted and started pulling everypony he was able with him. Sniper had no idea what was going on but followed him. Luna took off to the skies. But one foolish royal guard pony remained and started inspecting the collapsed grounds. This was the greatest mistake of his life.

A giant blade like tentacle emerged from the hole and pulled the unknowing guard inside. Next his screams of terror could be heard. And his blood followed shortly after.

"What is this monstrosity?" Luna was shocked to see one of her guards getting slaughtered like it was nothing by this creature that refused to reveal itself.

"Welcome to my world." Carmine sighed.

____________________

Chapter thirteen. A Canterlot Wedding. Part three

The group watched in awe waiting for the creature to appear. Carmine told everyone to back up and come up with a plan. They were absolutely not prepared for this. Thousands of changelings and one of the many horrors that Carmine encountered on Sera.

But princess Luna held her grounds. Determined to defeat whatever it was that just took one of her guard's life. If she only knew what lurked beneath.

"Hold position!" She commanded her royal guards.

The roaring of the creature had stopped ever since the guard was taken.

"Maybe it's gone." Luna hoped.

"Don't count on it. Get the fuck away from there everyo...pony!" Carmine shouted at the guards who started nearing the giant hole in the ground.

But before they arrived some of the rubble suddenly started moving. A small bright yellow glowing creature slowly emerged from the debris and stared at everyone around it in confusion.

It was a lambent wretch. A creature, though still lethal. Not nearly as dangerous as the other things that Carmine had faced. They only pose a real threat if they travel in packs.

The wretch glared at Carmine who already had his lancer aimed at the beast. Its eyes, it wasn't corrupted like the dragon and the BLU's. It was probably not much use to corrupt it anyway. Stupid wretch, thinking he can beat them.

It started shrieking. Extremely loud. A sound produced to warn its companions. It didn't last very long.

Luna who flew above the creature, super annoyed by the shrieking of the wretch decided to end it quickly. She used her magic to ignite the small creature. To her surprise it immediatly exploded.

"Is that all? Huzzah! We have defeated the monster!" Luna said victorious.

"Nope. That's just one." Carmine said, and right on queue more similair shrieking could be heard from the collapsed grounds. Them almost immediatly countless of lambent wretches came storming out. Heading in every random direction.

"Shit! Don't let them get away. They're glowies so they explode!" Carmine quickly explained. But as the group wanted to start chasing them suddenly the strange screaming from the other creature could be heard again.

Without any time for them to react a lambent berserker leaped from the hole. A blind female locust. Just even more ugly and dangerous now as a lambent.

The horribly mutated creature was armed with a tough skin not even bullets are able to penetrate and deadly bladed tentacles. It released a trail of yellow liquid behind it everywhere it walked.

Immulsion. The thing responsible for so many things that went wrong on Sera.

"Whatever you do. Do NOT. I repeat DO NOT step in that yellow stuff." Carmine warned everyone. He saw what it was able to do to humans after prolonged exposure. They became lambent as well. Surely nothing good can happen if a pony were to touch it. Also it'll probably burn them alive.

"What the bloody hell is that thing!" Sniper shouted.

"Shhh!" Carmine shushed him.

But the berserker heard them. It roared and started charging towards the two. Leaving a trail of immulsion behind it.

Carmine quickly grabbed the BLU Sniper who was a bit confused at the situation and quickly threw him aside. The COG soldier quickly rolled after him barely escaping the lambent berserker's deadly rush. The creature then crashed in to a building completely demolishing it.

"Motherfucker!" Carmine quickly got up his feet and kicked a nearby wretch towards the berserker. It opened up its ribcages for a brief moment as the wretch exploded. Fully exposing his chest cavity where most the immulsion was piled up.

Carmine knew that by shooting this part was the only way to destroy them. They're even able to shrug off a hammer of dawn attack with their godlike armored skin.

A normal strategy to defeat one of these behemoths was to have one person use a flamethrower on it. So the berserker would stagger and open its ribcage for a second. Then the other three guys would just pump it full of lead.

Okay, they didn't had flamethrowers here. But Luna is a magical pony. She might be useful. And there's those stupid wretches. Which helped only slightly if they exploded near the lambent zerker.

They can win this. Maybe if they all work together. But god damn it. There's too much stuff going on. There's at least twenty lambent wretches and a giant berserker. There's shit going on at the wedding. And literally thousands of insectoid ponies were roaming around freely. Most were heading towards the wedding halls. But some just flew around randomly blasting things.

"Mate. I'm taking position." Sniper said to Carmine.

"Yeah I figured you for a sniper with that longshot. Listen carefully. Shoot that big bastard right in the yellow stuff when his ribs open up. If we hit it enough it'll die." Carmine told his the BLU Sniper his tactics.

"Alright then. Sounds simple enough. I'm off!" Sniper then left for higher grounds with his favorite sniper rifle 'The Machina'. But as he left he couldn't help but cut up two wretches and three changelings on his way with his curved knife.

The berserker had meanwhile left the collapsed building. Now wandering around blind again. Just using its hearing to locate enemies. But there were way to many different sounds. In every direction, shouting from ponies. Cackling from changelings. Humans talking. Magical laserbeams. It couldn't pick out a single target so the lambent berserker did what it does best. Destroy everything.

It started charging in a random location with the intention to demolish everything in its path once again. Luckily it was now going in a different direction. That however didn't stop it from annihilating every changeling and building in its path.

"Luna! Send your guards to fight the smaller guys. We're taking down the big boss!" Carmine ordered the princess of night.

Luna didn't like his tone. But he was right. Luna had a big advantage being able to fly. The guards that remained here were all earth ponies and unicorns. Just four. The only pegasus of the group already got slaughtered by the berserker.

"You heard the human! Make sure nopony else gets hurt!" She commanded her guards to do as Carmine said.

Now without Delta squad Carmine faced a lambent berserker again. The first time they encountered one they just barely made it. Dangerous fuckers those lambent. But now he's with a different team. A capable magical pony and a strange guy named Sniper that appeared out of nowhere. Carmine just wished he saved his frag grenades for this.

Berserkers are stupid, blind and weak to fire. With this information Carmine gave Luna they had to come up with a proper plan to stop it from causing more harm. Ulfgar surely would be able to do something with his fire magic, but Carmine had no idea where he was. Luna is able to perform some fire spells, but nothing spectacular. Her mastery was more of a shadowy magic.

But Carmine was sure things would work out. He wasn't planning on dying just yet. Neither was Luna. To protect Canterlot they'd stop at nothing.

_________

Sniper was already on the roof on a nearby building. He wanted to get back to the outlook. He could overlook the entire town from there. But there was one thing bothering him.

He heard Sasha firing wildly. The RED Heavy's minigun was shooting non-stop. And the noise produced was pretty close to the outlook. The RED Heavy was one he preferred to avoid. Especially in this situation.

There's plenty more decent sniping spots luckily. But he had to keep an eye on the big monster. It certainly seemed more dangerous then the rest of the things swarming around Canterlot. He already lost count on how many changelings he killed with just his Kukri by now. And a few of the smaller glowing monsters. But they just exploded on impact after the BLU Sniper kicked them away. Nothing to worry about yet.

"YOU! You are dead!" A voice suddenly shouted from behind the BLU Sniper.

"Oh crikey." He looked right in the eyes of the RED Heavy. They burned with fire. Still a bit odd since he could still hear Sasha being fired. If the RED Heavy is here... Then who's firing that mini-gun? But no time to worry about that as the Russian started charging towards the BLU Sniper.

"Oi mate! I'm here for the bloody same reason as you! We can talk this out can't we?" Sniper said while avoiding Heavy's barrage of punches.

"You are dead!" The RED Heavy just kept shouting.

Sniper's Machina is useless from close range. He only held his curved knife for close-range combat. But against the huge Russian he didn't have much hope. Sniper knew the Heavy was much stronger physically then him. But he wasn't going to give up. Oh no. Screw the BLU for now. That RED Heavy is going down.

The Russian tried to deliver a critical punch to the Australian. But Sniper managed to evade his large fists just in time. He quickly stepped behind the Heavy and held the Kukri against his throat.

"Let me reacquaint you with death mate." He said as he sliced through the Russian's neck. Instantly killing him.

Sniper spat on the Heavy's corpse, humiliating him slightly more. But he was still wondering who the bloody hell was able to lift up Sasha besides Heavy. He was about to leave the scene and head further up but was interupted by a mare's scream for help.

Sniper decided to be a hero for once, he felt invincible for beating the RED Heavy in close combat. He jumped of a roof and looked at the damsel in distress.

It was Derpy Hooves being chased by two changelings through the air. Sniper quickly equipped the Machina and stared through the scope. Both targets were extremely fast. *Ping* The rifle was fully charged.

Sniper awaited his moment. Took a deep breath and waited for the perfect shot. But the changelings were not showing any signs of slowing down. Not a problem though. The two got in Sniper's line of fire for just a split second.

"Boom." He said and the extremely loud shot followed. It would normally be impossible for the human eye to see. But the specialized ammo for the Machina was of a much greater caliber then a normal rifle. The bullets were enormous and one could easily follow the trail it left.

At what seemed lightspeed the bullet penetrated both changelings with just one shot. Derpy was shocked by the noise and that her pursuers weren't around anymore so she crashed in to a building. As she then fell to the ground she immediatly got chased by a few lambent wretches.

"Aaah!" Derpy flew off again, quickly towards the BLU Sniper.

"What in Celestia's name is going on?" She yelled at the Australian.

"Seems like we're under attack doesn't it? Weren't ya supposed to be at the wedding anyway?" Sniper asked.

"Oh yeah... I overslept, rushed over here and then I got chased by scary things."

"You overslept? It's nearly evening damn it!"

"It was a late night alright!"

"Ughh... Anyway. Let's get to safer grounds." Sniper said.

"You! YES YOU! You are both dead!" Suddenly a familiar shouting could be heard again.

"What the bloody hell?" Sniper was amazed to see the RED Heavy behind him once again. Didn't he just slit his throat? Okay... Heavy was a pretty fat guy. Maybe he didn't cut deep enough.

"Bloody wanker. You're going down this time!" Sniper immediatly rushed at the Russian swinging his curved knife at him.

Now the RED Heavy was able to dodge the first strike. He then delivered three punches against the Sniper's face. The Australian fell to the ground.

"Sniper! Watch out!" Derpy yelled.

But Sniper knew something was wrong. Those punches were weak. Sure they'd hurt. But normally after only one or two punches back home from the RED Heavy he'd be dead. This guy is a phony! A big fat phony! Or perhaps a spy. No wait, there aren't any spies here.

"This wanker aint the real Heavy." Sniper said as he stood up once again. Pointing his knife at the fake Russian.

The Heavy said nothing and prepared to deliver a punch once again. Sniper dodged his slow strike easily and sliced him in the back of his legs causing him to drop to his knees.

"Who the bloody hell are ya?" Sniper asked while holding his Kukri against the Fake Heavy's throat.

"Queen Chrysalis will finish you all!" He said with Heavy's voice, and started laughing insanely after.

"Nice to know mate." He now made sure he'd cut deep enough. Decapitating the fake Heavy.

Derpy started vomitting upon seeing this. Maybe she shoud've turned back. She thought Sniper was a really nice laid back guy. A bit strange yes, but she didn't think he was capable of performing these things without any hesitation. She wondered what the hay his job could be.

Then again she didn't blame him. That crazy guy threatened to kill them as well. And with all this chaos going on in Canterlot she wasn't surprised.

"Who's queen Chrysalis?" Derpy asked when she recovered.

"Guess she's another target to the list." Sniper said casually. "But first we need to help that dark pony and that guy with the fancy hat."

"Uhh... Okay." Derpy guessed he meant Luna and one of the humans. She was right. "With what?" She asked.

"That big ugly thing." Sniper pointed down at the lambent berserker who just happened to pass them. It charged blindly through the town destroying everything in its path. Carmine and Luna were chasing it.

Luckily the building Sniper and Derpy were on was spared for now. So they could still get to higher grounds. Sniper was sure as hell not to go to where he heard the firing of the mini-gun. That would be a bad idea. But he still wanted to get higher. So he started climbing up the building next to him. It wasn't even nearly as high as the outlook. But it was something.

"Oh crikey." Sniper said as he looked down. "Look out behind ya Sheila!" He shouted.

Seven more RED Heavy's appeared behind Derpy Hooves. Shouting like madmen and ready to strike her down.

But Derpy was a pegasus so she just flew off before any of them could reach her. Easy mode.

Sniper jumped back down. Sure they could just flee and leave them there. But then they'd might cause trouble to the guards who were busy destroying the wretches and to Luna and Carmine who had their hands/hooves full dealing with lambent berserker.

Sniper reached out to get his Jarate.

"This is gonna get messy mates." He said as he prepared to throw the jar.

_________________

Heavy weapons guy was all alone. And by that I mean he's with his minigun Sasha and the BLU dispenser.

"Waaaah WAAAAH!!" He started mimicking babies crying while mowing down an endless horde of Changelings that all transformed in to the Russian.

Literally hundreds rushed up the stairs at the same time but fell equally as fast to Sasha's firepower.

"WHAHAHAHHH! CRY SOME MORE!" Heavy's insults slowly started changing in to mad laughter.

Sasha never stopped firing. And why should it? Unlimited ammo from the dispenser and ofcourse health regeneration made this a dream come true for the RED Heavy.

Hundreds of targets for him to shoot. And no one to stop him. This literally was heaven to Heavy weapons guy.

But the changelings hordes slowly started adapting. Even though they greatly outnumbered them. They couldn't even get passed this one guy. More started coming from the sides now, and from above. They flew above the Russian before shapeshifting in to his much stronger body.

Queen Chrysalis made it clear to them that he was the physically strongest being in Canterlot. Though after they transformed they didn't get as powerful as Heavy. But at least a lot more resilient then their own fragile bodies.

But not strong enough appareantly since Heavy kept shooting every changeling down that came even close to him. He never stopped firing, not even a for a second.

At least things seem to go smoothly for the RED Heavy.

__________

At the wedding.

The hundreds of visitors could only look as their princess was struck down by the queen of the changelings. And now one of the humans was bend to her will.

The corrupted Ulfgar just stood there. Still pointing his blades at the mane six who were in front of him.

"NONE shall pass." He stated once more.

But the ponies knew getting the elements of harmony would be their only chance to defeat queen Chrysalis. However they had no idea what was going on outside apart from the changeling invasion. So even if they were able to pass the dovakhiin they'd be in a lot more trouble.

"Hey Ulfgar... whats wrong with ya?" Applejack asked.

Princess Cadence then joined the mane six preparing to explain.

"He's corrupted by Chrysalis just like my Shining Armor. Please be careful." She said.

"Corrupted or not! We need to get past him and get the elements!" Rainbow Dash shouted and took off at light speed.

"Rainbow stop!" Twilight yelled.

But Rainbow Dash kept going. She was nearing the exit in no time. No matter how strong the dovakhiin would be, he'd never be as fast.

"WULD NAH KEST!" Ulfgar shouted the dragon words for Whirlwind Fury Tempest. With this 'Whirlwind Sprint' he was even faster then Rainbow Dash. He appeared in front of the exit just as she was nearing it.

He attempted to cut the blue pegasus with she just barely missed. Still cutting of part of her rainbow colored tail.

Rainbow Dash immediatly retreated back to her friends after having that near death experience. Maybe he is faster with his fancy dragon magic.

"Are you alright Rainbow?" Twilight asked her friend.

"I-I'm fine!" She said, still slightly startled.

"Alright. We have to come up with a plan to get past him. I don't think that without the elements we're strong enough to defeat him." Twilight had to come up with a plan for this situation.

"Ah say we jus' tie him up an make a run for it." Applejack said.

"Yes, good luck trying to tie up a person holding two swords Applejack." Rarity said sarcastically.

"Ahm just tryin' to throw some ideas out there! I don't see ya'll coming up with a plan yet." Applejack said annoyed.

"We should throw him a party! That'll wake him up!" Pinkie Pie said excited.

"Uhm.... Maybe if we ask him nicely?" Fluttershy whispered.

"What? That's a terrible idea Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash facehooved.

"Oh no... I'm sure that corrupted or not. Everypony has kindness in their heart. I'm sure if he remembers who he really is he'll wake up." Fluttershy then stepped forward. Heading towards the corrupted Ulfgar.

"Uhmm... Mr. Ulfgar? Do you remember me? I'm Fluttershy and we're all your friends. Okay we might not really know each other yet, but I'm sure that..." She stopped mid-sentence as she saw the dovakhiin just laughing at her.

He raised his arm and then threw one of his new specialized blades towards the cream-colored pegasus as if he was Spartacus himself. Definitely with the intention to kill her.

The blade soared through the air and everything seemed to go in slow motion for Fluttershy. Frozen with fear she could just watch the blade get closer to her by the second. She closed her eyes.

But nothing happened. Death was near but it wasn't coming. She slightly opened her eyes to see the reactions of her friends. They were all gasping. Oh dear.

She wanted to look at Ulfgar again, but as she turned her head she spotted a black pegasus in front of her. It was Dark Spear, the royal guard commander.

He used himself as a pony shield to protect Fluttershy. The blade thrown was stuck in his back. It actually managed to penetrate through his armor.

He then slowly fell to the ground already having lost his consciousness. He wasn't dead but needed immediate treatment.

"Fluttershy! Are you alright?" Twilight asked her friend.

"I-I'm fine... what?" Fluttershy said slightly confused.

"Snap out of it! You need to help him right away." Twilight yelled at the cream colored pegasus.

Fluttershy peeped but it did snap her out of her trance. She realised now what had happened. She prepared to treat the black pegasus as much as she was able to.

"Thank you." She said to the unconscious guard with a tear in her eye.

Twilight and her friends were enraged. The dovakhiin just attempted to kill Fluttershy. No more Mr. Nice Ponies from now on. They had to stop him before he could cause more harm.

Ulfgar still had one more sword, the strange black and green blade. But Twilight Sparkle had something much better.

"Applejack! I need you to get that weapon away from him!" Twilight asked the orange earth pony.

"Will do!" Applejack trotted of slightly further armed with her trusty lasso.

"Rainbow! You need to distract him." Twilight asked the blue pegasus next.

"What are you going to do?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Don't worry about that... Just make sure Applejack is able to disarm him."

Rainbow Dash nodded and flew off. Waiting for everypony to get ready.

"Rarity, Pinkie Pie. I need you two to step in if anything goes wrong okay?" Twilight asked her remaining friends.

"Yes sir!" Pinkie Pie saluted and pulled her party cannon out of nowhere. Rarity frowned at this but still gave the pony equivalent of a thumbs up to Twilight Sparkle.

"Alright then get ready!" Twilight started levitating the dovakhiin's blade in front of her once again. It was at least twice as large as herself.

"Hey look here!" Rainbow Dash started flying around at light speed around the corrupted dragonborn.

Now at almost her full speed the dovakhiin was not able to keep up with the blue pegasus. His whirlwind sprint would be useless in this situation where he's being circled. So he did the next best thing. He started swinging his sword wildly without any skill involved. Must be because of the corruption.

Of course he missed every possible swing of his blade. But he kept focussing only on the blue pegasus.

Applejack got ready to step in. She threw her lasso around Ulfgar's arm and attempted to pull him to the ground.

However reality started to kick in and she noticed she didn't have nearly enough strenght to even budge the dovakhiin. With the lasso tied around his arm he started pulling the orange earth pony towards him who still held the rope in her mouth.

"Applejack! Watch out!" Twilight yelled and charged towards the dovakhiin with the large greatsword.

Applejack released the rope and quickly jumped aside avoiding the incoming slash of the dragonborn.

Twilight meanwhile swung the greatsword towards Ulfgar. He already saw it coming but wasn't able to dodge. However the blade just grazed his arm, leaving a small cut. But it was enough to make him step back.

As he did just that Rainbow Dash charged at him from behind and bucked him in the back. The dovakhiin now fell to his knees.

Then Pinkie Pie appeared next to him and blew him right in the face with her party cannon. The confetti and balloons didn't do much damage but it was neccesary!

Rarity followed with a devastating uppercut right to the dovakhiin's chin. Who knew that pony that wouldn't get her hooves dirty could deliver such a nasty punch.

The dovakhiin was now flat on his back. Still trying to recover from the barrage of punches he just took. He tried to stand back up but he didn't have the time.

Twilight Sparkle with the dovakhiin's his blade stood in front of him. She had it levitated right above him.

"I'm so sorry!" She hesitated to do her next step but it was the only way.

So she did. She lunged the blade right in to the dovakhiin's stomach. The powerful force of her magic was enough the penetrate his iron armor with the oversized blade.

Ulfgar's eyes turned back to normal. But he still wasn't himself. He just remained motionless to the ground.

"Did you... kill him?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"What? No! I specifically didn't aim for his vital organs." She responded worried.

"Then why aint he standing back up?" Applejack said.

But nopony knew what was going on in Ulfgar's head right now.

Queen Chrysalis saw that her minion was defeated by the mane six. Not a problem though, with the power she currently posessed they'd pose no threat to her. Celestia was already beaten and her changeling army could storm in here any minute. She was just wondering what took them so long. She started approaching the mane six.

_____________

Somewhere in Canterlot. Luna and Carmine.

"We need to stop that foul creature before it destroys more of the town!" Luna said watching the lambent berserker just crush everything in sight.

"I know. But we can't do anything about its armor. We need to get it to stagger and open that damn ribcage so we can shoot at the damn part that actually hurts it." Carmine responded. He could hear the BLU Sniper firing several shots at some of the changelings that were chasing innocent ponies.

But that berserker had to be stopped. He was currently their main priority. Those tiny changelings couldn't even compare to the lambent monstrosity that roamed around freely.

The berserker was wandering around. Not charging anymore. Must've had enough of that. It walked around blindy awaiting for something to cross its path. Even the wretches and changelings that came close were not spared. They were either crushed after a charge from the berserker. Or torn to pieces by his bladed tentacles.

So Carmine and Luna had to keep their distance. But they also needed to stop it. It had now already demolished at least six buildings. But what can they do without a flamethrower? They could shoot bullets and magic at it sure. But it wouldn't affect the berserker in the slightest.

Carmine decided to use the wretch strategy again. One of those nasty creatures was chasing a brown earth pony. But not anymore, Carmine rushed over and grabbed the dangerously unstable lambent creature in his arms.

It started shrieking and gnawing on the COG soldier's arm. But it didn't bother Carmine. He quickly ran towards the giant berserker and signalled Luna get get ready to fire.

He kicked the small wretch against the berserker's chest. It exploded on impact again and made the the giant monster's ribcage open up again for a few seconds.

Luna immediatly started blasting shadowy orbs towards the creature. Immulsion started spattering everywhere so it seemed to work.

Carmine shot his gnasher shotgun from point-blank range right in its chest. The beast roared in pain and swung one of its bladed tentacles towards the COG soldier. He skillfully deflected it with his own weapon and rolled away, avoiding the next few slices.

Then out of nowhere the BLU Sniper shot an extremely powerful shot in to the lambent berserker's opened ribcage. Immulsion didn't just splatter, it litterally exploded in all directions.

The creature screamed in pain. But it wasn't finished quitte yet. Berserker's were one of the toughests locusts. And lambent berserker's were even more resilient.

It swung its tentacles in every random direction and started charging once again towards the COG soldier. But Carmine skillfully dodged the raging berserker once again like a matador does with bulls.

"I say; let's repeat that?" Carmine said to Luna after the blind berserker was far away from them once again.

Luna just nodded in agreement. It might take a while, but surely they're able to take it down eventually.

____________

Slightly earlier. Derpy and Sniper.

Sniper easily finished off the seven RED Heavy changelings. He felt much more confident in fighting them after he found out they're all phonies. The RED Heavy was much MUCH stronger then they'd ever hoped to be.

He just threw his Jarate at the group of Heavy's and started hacking away with his Kukri. For some reason targets covered in piss would receive critical damage. Extremely convenient.

After he slaughtered them he and Derpy finally started leaving for higher grounds. Sniper had already spotted the REAL RED Heavy from his position. He was mowing down an endless horde of even more Heavy's. He seemed to enjoy himself, so Sniper wasn't going to bother him.

"Why are we all the way up here? Shouldn't you go down and help princess Luna and the other human?" Derpy asked confused.

"That's exactly what I'm doing." Sniper responded.

"You're just looking through that weird telescope the entire time!"

"THIS is a bloody sniper rifle. It just saved ya life Sheila. And being in the background is my job."

"Tell me about your job then."

"That's very simple." Sniper continued talking while looking through his scope.

"My job, it requires me to be polite." Sniper fired a shot towards a changeling completely blowing it up. Derpy got startled from the loud noise produced.

"Be efficient." He followed with another shot. And hit what seemed like an impossible target. He hit two more changelings with this shot. Derpy wasn't even able to see this, that's how far away they were.

"And to have a plan to kill everyone I meet." Sniper turned back to Derpy who was shocked by this information. "I'm Sniper. And I'm an assassin."

"What do you mean a plan to kill every...one you meet? Do you have a plan to kill me?" Derpy asked worried.

Sniper just laughed. "It's nothing personal mate. It's all part of the job."

"Wow. I don't think I like your job."

"I figured that much." Sniper continued laughing.

"Hey it looks like something's happening there!" Derpy pointed downstairs where they saw Carmine kicking a glowing creature to the berserker causing it to stagger.

"Oh crikey! Good call Sheila!" Sniper quickly started charging his rifle again and aimed at the raging berserker. Its ribcage opened up for just a few second. All or nothing now. He fired his shot critically hitting it.

"Ha! Take that ya bloody wanker!" He shouted victorious. But the berserker wasn't finished. Nope. But now he was certain it had more health then even a fully overhealed Heavy.

The berserker strangely enough reminded him of Saxton Hale. That was one tough crazy shirtless Aussie.

________________

In front of the wedding halls. RED Heavy.

Heavy continued blasting down the endless armies of the changelings. But their numbers started increasing so rapidly even Sasha wasn't able to shoot every incoming target in time.

Literally half a thousand charged at him at the same time from every direction. Most transformed in to the Russian's body and started approaching him from the ground. More changelings started flying from the air and decided to drop themselves on Heavy as they shapeshifted while airborn.

Eventually they just started zerg-rushing him and Heavy was punched by multiple fists at the same time. Not nearly enough to knock him out. But just enough to let him lose his grip on his mini-gun. Sasha started rolling of the stairs crushing several more changeling's during its fall.

But Heavy wasn't going to give up. He still had health regeneration next to the dispenser. He just started punching everything that came even close to him. Most changelings still dropped after one hit. But now he's without firepower the changelings slowly started overpowering the Russian with their greater numbers.

________________

Back at the wedding.

Ulfgar looked like he was staring at the ceiling in defeat. But much more was happening in the dovakhiin's head.

He had a vision. He could keep hearing the distant voices of the greybeards speaking with the thu'um.

He could hear the song of his legend.

Dovakhiin, Dovakhiin,
Naal ok zin los vahrinn,
Wah dein vokal mahfaeraak ahst vaal!
Ahrk fin norok paal graan,
fod nust hon zindro zaan,
Dovakhiin, fa hin,
Kogaan mu draal!

But there was more. Besides his joyful memories of Skyrim there was darkness in his vision. The blade crafted by Eorlund Gray-Mane was carried by Ulfgar in almost all his adventures in Skyrim, the very same blade Ulfgar was struck down by right now. It was imbued by the memories of his earlier battles. He had slain countless of trolls, orcs, bandits, the undead, dragons and so much more deadly foes. But one he remembered more then everything else.

His battle with Alduin. The world eater. The dragonborn wasn't sure how. But he was still alive. Or in some form at least. He was certain. The voices told him so.

But there was one more in his vision. Discord, and it seemed like he was pulling the strings once again. What foolishness. Does he truly think he is able to corrupt the nordic god of destruction to his will?

Then Ulfgar remembered everything that occured these past days. Even the mighty dovakhiin was corrupted. Not by Discord, but by another foe. Chrysalis. She must be destroyed.

The dragonborn opened his eyes still with the greatsword penetrating his stomach. Slowly he stood rose up to his feet again. He stared at the purple unicorn who looked terrified.

"Thank you... For reminding me who I am." Ulfgar said.

"A-arent you hurt?" Twilight asked hesitantly.

"This? It's just a flesh wound!" He pulled out the enormous blade from his own stomach and immediatly started healing his wounds.

Chrysalis was surprised to see the human back on his feet. But no worries. The queen of the changelings was certain she was powerful enough to dispose of him herself. After all she just defeated Celestia with ease.

"Who is the one responsible?" Ulfgar asked. He had already spotted princess Cadence but this must've been the real one. Who is the one he should destroy?

"Uhmm... her over there... But be careful! You're hurt and she already defeated the princess and there's a thousand changelings outside!" Twilight explained the situation as quickly as she was able.

"Hmm, let me see for myself." Ulfgar wanted to head to a nearby window and check out the situation.

"Ha! Foolish human. Do you truly think that you can just easily pass the queen of the changel-" Chrysalis was interupted.

"FUS ROH DAH!" His trademark dragon shout blew the changeling queen away. She crashed in to a wall on the other side of the halls.

Ulfgar casually walked to the window as if nothing happened and stared outside. Everything seemed to happen at the same time as he saw Luna and Carmine dancing around a giant berserker. And Heavy was literally knocking fighting hundreds of clones appareantly. It sure looked like everything is doomed at this point.

Ulfgar stepped to the defeated princess Celestia.

"Would you see your capital destroyed? Or would you see it saved?" He reached out his hand to her.

Celestia hesitated for a moment. Weird question but that's alright. "I would see it saved of course." She raised her hoof allowing the dovakhiin to help her back up.

"Then it will be done." Ulfgar said determined.

Meanwhile Cadence was able to sneak up to her fiancé. Shining Armor was still corrupted but by the presence of his loving bride he was able to snap out of it.

"Woah... what happened!" Shining Armor said confused.

"Oh My Shining Armor! You're back!" Cadence hugged her fiancé.

"What the..." Shining Armor was able to figure out the situation. That half knocked out black pony over there looks rather evil. And his commander had a sword stuck in his back. Outside there were literally thousands of invaders. Shining Armor knew what to do. Get the shield back up.

But as much as he focussed he wasn't able to provide a single spark. Chrysalis's corruption had tired him out more then enough.

"My love will give you strength!" Cadence said determined.

Their magical horns collided in what seemed like a touching moment. Magical forces started swarming around and eventually some sparkling started happening. Both of them prepared for a final push.

But nothing happened. Shining Armor was simply to weak in his current state to keep the barrier up. Even with Cadence's love it didn't work.

"Ha! The power of love. What a foolish thing." Ulfgar chuckled at the ponies.

"Well then do you have a better idea?" Cadence said annoyed.

"Aye. Let me define true power for you." Ulfgar faced away from he ponies and stared outside once again.

He looked up.

"STRUN BAH QO!" Ulfgar shouted at the top of his lungs. Dark clouds started forming around Canterlot.

A storm is coming.

_____________

Chapter fourteen. A Canterlot Wedding. Part four.

Carmine and Luna were still busy battling the lambent berserker when all of a sudden dark clouds would move rapidly above Canterlot. Rain was falling shortly after.

"What is happening?" Luna said confused.

"What do you mean? It just looks like a storm is passing." Carmine responded.

"Exactly... But there arent any pegasi managing the clouds... They're moving on their own!"

Carmine had to think for a second. He recalled being told that in Equestria ponies manage the weather. The only place where that doesn't happen is the Everfree Forest. Strange indeed.

"I guess the gods are pissed off then." Carmine joked.

Luna just frowned not knowing what the COG soldier meant. Anyway, back to their pursuit of the raging berserker. It was clearly hurt after their first attack. They just had to find more wretches. Problem was, they couldn't find any.

"You really can't just spout violent flames with that horn of yours?" Carmine asked.

"I already told you what my magic is capable of." Luna said.

She could produce a tiny flame at best. Ponies didn't train for destructive warfare with their magic. It was used more to help with everyday things, levitate things. Create light. Or used to heal.

Not for blowing stuff up, that's not what they had in mind. Sure Luna still had the inherited powers from Night Mare Moon. But it was a shadow-magic. Nothing that could harm the lambent berserker.

Celestia on the other hand could call upon the wrath of the sun, summoning violent flames to defeat her foes, or at least she said that she was able. Luna had never witnessed this nor was it ever neccesary.

But Luna was certain Celestia had her hooves full at the wedding. Who knows what was going on there. It looks like it's just her and Carmine for now.

"Hey look over there!" Carmine pointed at three nearby wretches gnawing on the remains of a changeling.

"Disgusting..." Luna said dissaprovingly.

"Yeah, whatever. Let's take one of them with us." Carmine started heading towards the three creatures but then it started.

The dark clouds that floated above Canterlot started rumbling extremely loud. Then all of a sudden multiple lightning bolts started falling from the sky. Destroying everything they hit.

Some buildings were completely blown up by the violent thunderbolts. Changelings were getting disoriented and started flying around in fear, avoiding the bolts of lightning. But more importantly the small pack of wretches that were in front of Carmine simply exploded after being struck. Goddammit.

The berserker also wasn't spared by the lightning. Multiple bolts hit it as it was wandering around. At first it didn't seem to hurt the lambent creature. But after a few hits its ribcage started opening again.

"FIRE FIRE!!" Carmine shouted and now started firing his lancer at the giant monster. Luna started throwing more shadow orbs at the creature and simultaneously the BLU Sniper fired another shot from his Machina.

And yes. This really started hurting it. The berserker screamed in pain. Swinging its bladed tentacles at nothing. Immulsion was splattering in all directions, but it still wasn't finished. The immulsion in his ribcage started beating as if it was a heart. It was close to dying now.

It quickly closed its ribcage and blindly started charging off again. Now heading in to the direction of the wedding halls.

"Follow that ugly!" Carmine shouted and he and Luna did just so.

"Wait... What are we supposed to do?" A third voice suddenly stated.

Carmine turned around and noticed Lyra and the other two bridesmaids were actually still with them. With all the commotion going on he simply forgot they were even there. That means three more ponies to protect from the lightning, berserker, wretches and changelings. But that's fine, Carmine was a soldier after all, and his duty was to protect civilians even though that's not what the COG always did. Here the situation was different. He had to protect those that weren't able to protect themselves.

"Uh, just stick close to us. Unless the big ugly does as well! Then go as far away as possible." Carmine gave them these simple orders.

_____________

Sniper and Derpy. Earlier.

"Oi Sheila, didn't ya say that clouds here aint moving on there own?" Sniper asked.

"Well duh." Derpy responded at the silly Sniper. He said that clouds where he comes from move on their own. Madness she thought.

"That what's that?" Sniper pointed at the sky which started getting darker and clouded. Exactly at that moment rain started dropping.

"Oh yeah... That's uhm... I actually have no idea." Derpy said confused at what the hay was happening.

"So you're saying this aint natural?"

"I have never seen anything like this happen." Derpy was clearly amazed to see clouds move on their own.

But Sniper didn't care. Just a small storm passing them, nothing to worry about. They just had to get rid of that big ugly monster now. Then finish off the small bug-ponies who didn't pose that much of a threat, even when in the RED Heavy's form.

Speaking of the RED Heavy. Sniper noticed Sasha stopped firing. Maybe the Russian was beaten? Sniper wanted to see his situation later. But first take care of the lambent berserker. Sniper was a professional after all, he couldn't just back out in the middle of his mission.

But then then the storm began. It was more violent that Sniper or Derpy had ever seen. Multiple lightning bolts started falling from the sky completely blowing some buildings up. Some bolts even struck twice at the same place. This was not a natural storm, Sniper was certain of that.

But he noticed the berserker stagger once again after being struck by a few lightning bolts. It opened its ribcage and Sniper got ready to fire. Even the thunder storm couldn't distract him from concentrating.

He fired his fully charged Machina once again critically hitting the lambent berserker. It started flinching and screaming even louder then before. One more hit and its probaly going down. Excellent.

"Haha! Always on target! Impressive don't ya think Sheila?" Sniper bragged.

"I really don't have a clue what you just did." Derpy said.

She was after all still unfamiliar with what guns were. But she was smart enough to realise that it's something dangerous and not meant for ponies to handle.

*BOOM*

A lightning bolt suddenly hit the building where Derpy and Sniper resided. The entire structure started collapsing. Sniper and Derpy were both on the roof.

"Oh crikey!" Sniper said as he started fleeing from the floor that started dissapearing below him.

Derpy immediatly flew behind the BLU Sniper.

Sniper had no options. He also didn't have time to think of any. He kept running while the building slowly got reduced to nothing but rubble. He was nearing the end of the line. But he ran the wrong way. There was just a forty meter drop from here.

But like I said. No other options. Sniper did the only sensible thing and jumped. He closed his eyes, hoping his death would come swiftly.

But death got cheated once again. As Sniper was falling to his inevitable doom, he got saved by the grey pegasus; Derpy hooves. Sniper was by far the skinniest of the humans.

"Hey! You're a lot lighter then I thought." Derpy smiled while holding the BLU Sniper with her hooves.

"Holey dooley! You're a bloody lifesaver ya know that Sheila?" Sniper said relieved.

They then landed slightly further on a lower building. Right next to the wedding halls.

Sniper quickly grabbed Derpy as he noticed his nememis not being twenty meters away from him.

The RED Heavy was still battling countless clones of himself. Sniper was certain this was the real Heavy as whenever he punched one of the changelings they literally got launched in to the air. But just more kept coming and even the Russian would not be able to hold off their entire army on his own.

"Oi Sheila... I think it's better ya just hide for now, avoiding that storm and the creepers some place safe." Sniper said to Derpy.

Derpy was more then happy to agree with Sniper's plan. She thought the situation was scary enough as it is.

"Then what are you going to do?" Derpy asked.

"I'm going to do the one thing I never thought I'd do. Help that fat RED bastard." Sniper said determined.

Derpy was amazed to hear this. Sniper only told bad things about the RED Heavy up untill now. What's with the sudden change of heart?

Sniper still despised the RED Heavy. That's for sure, and he was certain the Russian thought the same of him. But they're not at 2fort or Gold Rush or anything. They're in Equestria. Their contracts said nothing about killing the other team in a different world or universe.

Sniper aimed his Machina at the horde of changelings. He waited for the rifle to fully charge once again, which would only increase the damage and penetration power of the bullets. *Ping* It's charged.

"Ya get going now Sheila! I'll catch up with ya when this is all over!" Sniper barked. Derpy did as told but not before thanking the Sniper properly for saving her. Sniper said it wasn't neccesary since Derpy just did the same.

He then looked through his scope and it didn't take long for him to get a decent shot. Hundreds were lined up perfectly. He fired the Machina once again causing a deafening noise. The large bullet soared through the air annihilating at least seven changeling Heavy's in its path. All before they were able to reach the real Heavy.

The Russian knew this sound. "Puny BLU Sniper..." He thought to himself, but he didn't have time to look up since the army of the clones just kept coming. Lightning bolts were now dealing with some of them as they were heading up the stairs. But not enough to destroy the entire army.

Without his mini-gun he still was able to hold his ground thanks to the dispenser. But no matter how strong Heavy was, it would take hours to clear all of them out. Help would be greatly appreciated at this point.

Another shot then followed, blowing off the heads of at least ten more fake Heavy's.

But the changelings weren't stupid. Shortly after they were able to spot their second target. A fourth human queen Chrysalis did not tell them about.

A handful of changelings quickly approached the BLU Sniper. Once again, at close range his rifle is useless. So he pulled out his Kukri, preparing to strike them down as they came closer.

He started slashing at one of the changelings before it was able to transform in to Heavy. A quick slice to the neck followed and then the creature fell down from the building, already dead before he hit the ground.

The few others were able to shapeshift in time and started punching on the BLU Sniper. Due to terrible positioning Sniper was unable to avoid their barrage of punches and eventually also got forced to the edge of the building.

It was only a ten meter drop this time. Nothing to worry about. Sniper made sure to stick his knife in one more throat before he jumped from the lower building, to the main grounds once again. He was now in a small alleyway. Which would eventually lead up to the staircase where the real RED Heavy was still busy in his own fight.

But there was more to this small alleyway. Behind a large dumpster Sniper spotted two of the yellow glowing creatures. The lambent wretches. He rushed towards them grabbing one of the creatures by its paw. He then swung it in the air towards the fake Heavy's who started to jump after him from the roof. It exploded mid-air, finishing off the pursuing changelings.

Sniper laughed at this and proceeded to grab to other wretch. This was a mean one as it started gnawing on the BLU Sniper's arm viciously. The Australian responded to this by punching the creature in the face two times. Barely soft enough to stop it from exploding just yet.

Sniper then dragged the half-unconscious lambent wretch with him, heading to the long staircase. He passed hundreds of corpses filled with bullet holes. Next he passed the Russian's minigun Sasha at the bottom of the stairs. Multiple changelings crushed beneath its weight.

He started heading up the stairs, just passing more corpses and eventually got to the top. Half a thousand fake Heavy's were right in front of the entrance of the wedding halls. Just one man stopping blocking their path.

But now that's two men.

Sniper had one more Jarate left. He threw the jar full of piss at the crowd of changelings and prepared for a one-liner.

"... Screw this!" He couldn't come up with any in time, plus the lightning was messing up his mind. It kept striking dangerously close to them.

Anyway, he then threw the lambent wretch at the changeling army. Right where he just tossed his Jarate. It exploded critically hitting every nearby changeling in its radius. At least twenty-five more were blown to bits.

"RAAAH!" The RED Heavy violently punched his enemies around. No matter in how much pain he was, he could endure it. And the dispenser made things even easier. He noticed the explosion and wanted to investigate. He suddenly charged through the horde of Heavy's clearing a path.

Then he saw him.

The BLU Sniper. On par with the Spy his greatest enemy.

"G'day." Sniper said sheepishly.

"HA! I was told to fight men! Not babies!" Heavy laughed.

"Oi screw you mate. You know exactly why you're here right?"

"Da. Crush ponies enemy."

"Exactly, and that what I'm here for as well. To blow a hole in that Discord fella's face."

"Is BLU team dead?" The Russian asked.

"Nope. We're both still linked to the respawn. If we die, we go home." Sniper responded.

"I see... Then we crush ponies enemy together!"

"That's what I was thinking yeah."

"But when this is over. Puny BLU Sniper will feel the wrath of Sasha once again." Heavy grinned evilly.

"Aye, and I'll be sure to pop your head off before that happens ya fat blockhead." Sniper started laughing.

Now forming a temporary alliance, the BLU Sniper and RED Heavy were working together. A rare sight indeed. But understandable in this situation.

They changelings simply paused for a moment allowing the two humans to talk for some reason. But they had enough of this. The zerg-rush was back on.

Sniper was armed with his Kukri and Heavy armed with his fists. They were now both next to dispenser, annihilating every changeling that got near them.

_________

At the wedding.

Ponies were trembling in fear upon seeing the violent thunder storm above their town. Princess Celestia couldn't believe Ulfgar was capable of all these things. But she wasn't surprised. His power would in the end either save or destroy Canterlot. That's probably what he meant with his strange question earlier.

Ulfgar on the other hand was in pain. He already used three shouts which he preffered to be the maximum for a day. One more and he'd be coughing up blood again, plus the fact he was just stabbed with his own blade didn't help much either. He was able to heal some of the damage done, put the blade went far to deep for him to just instantly heal it. This wound would need rest.

So no more shouts today and finish this queen Chrysalis quickly, then go to bed. That was the dovakhiin's plan. However his plans don't usually work out.

Queen Chrysalis had gotten back up after she suddenly got blown away by the dragonborn. She was amazed to see he had this much power, to break her corruption, cheat death and still have this much strength left. She was going to need to get serious.

She was back on her hooves, determined to defeat the human that was now crossing her path. But why isn't her army here yet. She grew more worried by the second thinking that something terrible could've happened to her subjects. Her people needed love to feed. And this was the only place for them to go.

But even if her intentions are for the greater good of her people. It's still an evil deed, and has to be punished.

Ulfgar swung his blade around, clearing some of his own blood that was stuck on it. He took a few step back passing the crowd of wedding visitors to get something that caught his attention.

His self-made trademark iron horned helmet. Battle just isn't the same without it. Gently he placed the helmet back on his head.

He is now once again dragonborn. The legend that came true, born with the soul of a dragon. Dovakhiin as they said in their own tongue. And he was ready for battle.

Chrysalis had to toughen up now as the dovakhiin started approaching her. She took a more defensive position, awaiting the dragonborn's attack.

But nothing happened, or at least not yet. Ulfgar walked over as slowly as possible, just provoking the queen even further. She had enough, if he isn't going to attack. She is.

She threw several fireballs covered in green flames towards the dovakhiin by using her magic.

Ulfgar cut through the first incoming ball of fire completely avoiding it. The second one however he didn't even try to get out of the way, as if he flames didn't even bother him. He just kept pacing himself slowly towards the queen, dragging his greatsword behind him.

Queen Chrysalis had enough of this nonsense. This human will know the true meaning of pain when she's done with him.

She rushed recklessly towards the dovakhiin now. Just as Ulfgar was hoping she'd do. With her deadly horn up front she aimed right for his heart.

But the dovakhiin deflected the incoming strike with his blade. Now his greatsword was colliding with her horn and they stared each other right in the eyes.

Chrysalis eyes were showing signs of fear and uncertainness.

Ulfgar was laughing, with a wicked grin he stared the queen of the changelings down.

Queen Chrysalis started to cast a new spell while still clashing with the dovakhiin's sword. But then Ulfgar just simply pushed her horn aside causing the spell she used to blow a giant hole in the roof.

He then used the weight of the massive greatsword to deal a devastating slice to her. He started doing a full three-sixty spin with the blade and it was a succes.

The sword cut Chrysalis in two of her holey fragile legs. The gaping wounds were now flowing with the blood of the queen. She was hurt and everyone was able to hear so as she screamed out in pain.

The dovakhiin stopped her cry by dealing a powerful kick to her face. She fell down back to the floor once again.

Ulfgar diabolical laughter didn't stop. He was just getting ready for more.

"All evil must be cleansed." He said.

Chrysalis didn't answer.

"Do you know the best way to cleanse evil?" Ulfgar asked with a grin on his face.

Once again no response from the queen.

"By fire." Ulfgar placed his left hand on his blade, summoning destructive fire straight in to the heart of the greatsword, completely engulfing it in violent flames.

He slowly started walking towards the queen again, dragging the flaming sword behind him in one hand.

Chrysalis could only watch. She was completely frozen. She felt an emotion she never truly understood before.

Fear.

The very same fear Celestia felt when she faced the dovakhiin. The princess of the sun wished she would be able to step in. But Celestia knew that even she wouldn't be able to stop Ulfgar. She just hoped her little ponies wouldn't get traumatized for life after seeing this.

_________________

Carmine and Luna.

"We need to stop that thing before it reaches the wedding!" Luna shouted as the group was following the rampaging berserker.

It was in pain, alot of it. It started leaving a lot more immulsion behind it then before. Carmine and the bridesmaids made sure to avoid all of this.

But lightning kept falling. And now the fully enraged lambent berserker didn't even care anymore. He just shrugged off the devastating damage caused by the lightning bolts, however by now its ribcage was left open just slightly. A few more bullets and it's going down.

Which means it would explode seeing as it's a lambent, not something they wished for to happen at the wedding. But the berserker was heading right in that direction. And they had nothing to stop it.

The berserker finally reached the staircase and for a moment it seemed as if it wasn't going upstairs. It wandered around blindly for a few seconds but then something got its attention.

The RED Heavy's battlecry could be heard all across Canterlot. The berserker heard it as well and roared one last time before charging upwards.

"SHIT WE NEED TO STOP THAT THING RIGHT NOW!" Carmine shouted desperately. But it was out of their reach now. He was so focussed on the berserker he didn't even notice the huge amounts of changelings corpses transformed in to Heavy surrounding him.

At that same moment Derpy Hooves came flying down. Slightly startled she approached the group.

"W-ha... that thing?" Was all she could master to say after having seen the lambent monstrosity up close.

"Shit more civvies." Carmine said. "Okay, here's what you're going to do. Lyra! Take her and the others and just teleport somewhere safe and dry untill this is over."

"Gladly." Lyra said. She certainly wasn't going to stay here with a screaming monster, and more changeling corpses then she should count.

However Lyra wasn't the most talented unicorn. She already teleported a group earlier, so she wont be able to teleport far this time, not with her skills of magic.

"You may use our castle to hide, it's the safest place in Canterlot." Luna suddenly said.

"Wow. The actual castle, really?" Lyra responded.

"Yes! Just go."

And so Lyra telorted herself, Derpy and the two other bridesmaids to safety. Back to the castle.

Carmine and Luna quickly proceeded to follow the berserker once again.

_____________

Sniper and Heavy.

"Yahahaha!" Heavy had a much easier time with Sniper around. He continued oneshotting every changeling that got within a meter of him.

Sniper, even though much weaker physically then Heavy, was still a forced to be reckoned with. With his large curved knife at his side no changeling was safe.

The changelings just kept fading in numbers at their hopeless attempt to crash the wedding. Now only a few hundred of the original thousands of changelings remained.

But they didn't give up. To serve Chrysalis and feed on more love they'd stop at nothing. Death was a glorious price to pay for serving their queen.

But then they were really screwed. The giant lambent berserker charged through the entire horde thinning out their numbers even further.

"Crikey! It's that ugly again!" Sniper jumped out the way.

"What? Puny monster will not pass Heavy." The Russian said determined.

"Oi, don't be a bloody fool. Get the dispenser and get out of the way. Then take this chance to get back your mini-gun." Sniper said to Heavy.

"Sasha... yes Sasha!" Surely the russian's mini-gun can put a stop to this behemoth. He simply picked up the dispenser and let the berserker charge straight past them. Now it's just a lousy twenty meters away from the wedding halls.

"HEY DON'T LET THAT THING PASS! IT'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE!" Carmine suddenly shouted while running up the long staircase followed by Luna.

"Oh crikey. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea." Sniper thought to himself. He turned around and the giant berserker crashed straight in to the building.

Hopefully nopony will get hurt.

______________

Slightly earlier at the wedding.

The mane six and Celestia were just able to watch the enraged Ulfgar beat the living hell out of Chrysalis. She didn't stand a chance and the dovakhiin was just messing with her before finishing her off. A sickening sight to the ponies.

She had multiple bruises, cuts and burn wounds from Ulfgar's flaming sword. His diabolical laughter made things even more terrifying for the ponies watching.

"Ulfgar! Stop this madness." Celestia just had to step in. This was just too horrible to set eyes upon.

Ulfgar just pretended he didn't hear the princess of the sun. But he knew it was enough. Time to finish what was started.

He stepped forward approaching the changeling queen who was barely able to move with her severe wounds, then he prepared to deliver the fatal strike.

He held the blade in both hands and prepared for a devastating swing most likely cutting the changeling in half.

But then he was interupted. The lambent berserker charged right through the door and was heading straight for the crowd of wedding guests. They started panicking and running around in fear.

Ulfgar looked back and had to make a decision.

Finish up the one who caused so much harm. Or save innocent civilians from a unknown giant monster.

The choice was easily made. Even though Ulfgar preferred revenge, it wouldn't be the right thing to do. Revenge will come soon enough. First protect the weak, that was his priority.

He left the changeling queen and rushed for the lambent monster, still with his blade engulfed in flames he leaped at the creature, stabbing in right in the chest.

The power of his strike, combined with the intense heat of the flames was enough the shatter the berserker's remaining ribcage, fully exposing its chest cavity once again.

Ulfgar then threw a second strike, straight in to the immulsion that was all piled up inside. This also completely extinguished his flaming sword.

The berserker started staggering even more now, desperately it flung its tentacles in all directions but in vain. It was finished.

"GET THE FUCK OUT! THAT THING IS GOING TO EXPLODE!" Carmine shouted as he rushed inside from the hole the berserker left in the building.

"Oh this isn't good." Ulfgar thought. He looked at the creature one more time and it certainly did look so. It was screaming in pain, while the yellow immulsion starting beating more rapidly every second. It seemed as if it was going to blow up from inside.

The berserker fell to its knees.

Ulfgar didn't have a choice, it looks like he had to do one more shout after all.

He looked up to the roof, there was a giant hole there left by Chrysalis's magic from earlier. Just nearly large enough for the lambent to fit through.

"FUS RO DAH!" One more trademark thu'um from the dovakhiin. The lambent creature got launched up in the air by the dragon shout and exploded at least fifty meter away from the wedding, a beautiful sighting. The immulsion that got blown in all directions seemed like beautiful fireworks from this distance.

"You fucking kill stealer." Carmine said.

"Ha!" Ulfgar just laughed.

But Chrysalis took this opportunity to get the buck out. Though her legs were hurt, her wings were still intact. She quickly flew off to the exit.

"COWARD! Do you think you can flee from the dov..." Ulfgar stopped mid-sentence as he started coughing up blood once again and then fell to the ground, quickly losing consciousness. At this moment the storm started fading rapidly.

"Stop her!" Celestia shouted, but there were barely any guards to do so.

Chrysalis was to fast. She fled the building but was welcomed by an unpleasant sight.

In front of her was a mountain of corpses, more then a thousand of her subjects, her children... dead.

She felt great sadness enter her heart upon seeing this. But more hatred towards the ones responsible.

"Chrysalis I presume?" Sniper suddenly appeared behind the mourning changeling queen, armed with his Kukri.

"No! Leave me!" She backed up in desperation. But was stopped as she backed up against the RED Heavy who just retrieved his mini-gun.

"Puny little evil pony will now suffer for deeds?" Heavy asked with a grin on his face.

"Hehehe, I'm not sure what we're doing with this one. I'm just here for this Discord ya know. Let's just tie her up or something."

But Chrysalis refused to let herself be captured. She summoned more green flames in desperation to escape. It worked as it seemed to affect these two humans. She quickly lifted back up again, as she was back in the sky she took a large breath.

"FLEEEEEE!!!" She yelled at the top or her lungs, warning her remaining subjects to retreat.

The changelings attempted to take over Canterlot, and failed. Chrysalis admitted defeat. But one day she'll have her revenge. She swore of this.

___________

The royal guards finished up disposing of the few wretches that still roamed through Canterlot. They easily overpowered the dumb creatures.

Canterlot was still standing. Much of it was destroyed but all can be rebuilt. The more important thing is that the city is once again safe and without invaders.

A magical source suddenly started reducing the changeling corpses to nothing but dust. Cleaning up large parts of the town instantly. However, the berserker's remains and its trails of immulsion had to get cleaned up manually.

But Canterlot stood victorious and cheered for the humans that saved their town once again. By all means it wasn't pretty, but it was most likely the only way without Shining Armor's protection spell.

Ulfgar, Dark Spear and several citizens were sent of to the infirmary, hoping they would recover from their wounds.

Heavy and Sniper were still being friendly to each other thank god.

Carmine approached Celestia.

"What happens next?" He asked.

_______________

Pinkie Pie's afterparty.

"Okay... This is ridiculous..." Carmine said.

There was nothing holding these ponies spirits down. Even after a dangerous invasion in their town, near death experiences and half the town in ruins they STILL decided to have the actual wedding.

Yeah that's great for catching up memories. Oh remember when we got married and then the town got invaded by a giant monster and bugs? What a day huh? Carmine just facepalmed at the situation.

The wedding was a lovely event, followed by a spectaculair sonic rainboom by Rainbow Dash. Still everypony was a bit awkard about everything seeing what events just occured.

But Shining Armor and princess Cadence couldn't be happier at this moment. Twilight was also overjoyed to see her brother like this, her friends already apologized to the purple unicorn for not believing her. But all of that was unneccesary, of course she'd forgive her friends. She's just glad this day was coming to an end. Everypony and human (excluding the dovakhiin and the royal guard commander.) were now participating in Pinkie Pie's afterparty.

Sniper approached Derpy Hooves again, he was glad she was alright.

"So you and Mr. Heavy are friends now?" Derpy asked.

"Nope. Just temporary business associates." Sniper responded calmy.

Carmine just had enough of this. His mind was blown, these ponies are so weird. But then again he was glad to see it's not as depressing as Sera. Oh hey, look over there. It's princess Luna.

The princess of the night now joined the party.

"Hello everypony, Did I miss anything?" Luna said with her best trollface.

"Oh you..." Carmine thought to himself.

Then all of a sudden Pinkie Pie rushed away from the group. Pulling a white unicorn with a blue mane out of nowhere. The COG soldier presumed this to be a DJ.

"Oh god... They're not going to..." Carmine prepared for the worst.

"LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" Pinkie Pie shouted.

"Love is in bloom!
A beautiful bride, a handsome groom.
Two hearts becoming one,
A bond that cannot be undone because..."

"Oh god they started singing again." Carmine's brain was close to exploding. He was glad Ulfgar wasn't here. If Carmine couldn't appreciate these random sudden musical numbers, then surely the dovakhiin wouldn't like it.

"What's wrong with you?" Rainbow Dash asked the COG soldier whose hand was nearly going through his face from all the facepalming he'd been doing all night.

"Nothing... nothing, dont mind me. I'm just going to stand over there... do nothing okay?" The COG soldier walked off leaving a frowning Rainbow Dash.

Heavy on the other hand seemed to enjoy the musical performance of the ponies and decided to join them.

"Come little ponies! we sing great song together!" Not many knew Heavy was in fact an incredibly talented singer.

"Da da da da. Da da da da. Come sing with me! Da da da da da."

The ponies just laughed at the Russian's attempt at singing and the Russian gladly joined them, all while eating some more sandwiches made by Applejack.

Princess Cadence and Shining Armor prepared to leave the party and go on their well deserved honeymoon. But not before throwing the bouquet.

Cadence tossed it in the air and many ponies attempted to grab it. But one in particulair tried harder then anypony.

Rarity leaped over all crowd of ponies attempting to catch the bouquet, with a scary look on her face she yelled. "IIIITS MIIINE!"

But she wasn't able to catch it. In her sudden outburst she only managed to launch the bouqeut even further in to the air.

It landed right in the hooves of...

Clayton Carmine, so technically his hands.

"I hate my life." The COG soldier facepalmed once more.

_____________

"Do you hate them?" A voice asked the defeated queen Chrysalis who was back at her hive.

"Yes..." She responded with a slight tone of uncertainness.

"Then join me... and together take over this land. And rule beside me in true chaos!"

"I only want revenge on the humans... I don't care about ruling anything."

"You have ruined a chapter my games, an unforgivable act. You should be happy I didn't leave you to rot and die. You and your 'changelings' might prove useful to me in the future. I'm offering you this alliance because we stride towards a common goal."

"The humans?"

"They're the only thing standing in the way of my dreams, with them out of the way I will rule Equestria in an age of never-ending chaos! Oh and you will have your silly revenge of course."

"Then I will join you. They will suffer for what they've done... Lord Discord." Chrysalis kneeled before him.

"Good good." Discord rubbed his claws evilly. Chrysalis would be of proper use to him.

At least untill she's no longer needed.

______________

Authors notes: Okay! Finally the ending of the royal wedding. Yay! It was fun to write that's for sure. However the next update might take slightly longer, I really want to add a couple of breather chapters before I start heading for the inevitable ending of this story. So a few comedy chapters maybe focussing the ponies a bit more.

Chapter fifteen. Happy times.

A week has passed since the Canterlot wedding. Definitely a day to remember. Good things happened in the end and casualties were low. But those who had fallen were mourned respectfully and will be remembered. Canterlot was struck hard, but it was still standing. The shops and houses that were destroyed on that day can all be rebuild. The most important thing is that even when attacked by two different parties, Canterlot stood resilient. Especially now with their new human allies.

The group was back in Ponyville now. Things have been going smoothly, just awaiting the next horrors Discord might've planned. Ulfgar however, was still not in any condition to walk, let alone fight. He obviously disagreed on this fact even though he suffered both physical and mental damage from the wedding. He slept for a full two days in the infirmary after losing consciousness. Right now he's back in Ponyville residing in Fluttershy's cottage until he's recovered.

The RED Heavy was still staying at Applejack's barn. There he would work at the farm while awaiting orders from Celestia. He didn't really seemed bothered by this.

The BLU Sniper. The newest ally of the group was also sent over to Ponyville. He and the RED Heavy both decided to work together until they're able to defeat their kidnapper. The Australian was forced to stay at Derpy Hooves, even though he said the forests would be fine. He was not easily convinced to become a working member of society by doing a job. Nope. He kept shouting about his professionalism and his standards. So he wasn't doing anything at the moment, which meant he wouldn't get any payments while staying there.

Carmine might've suffered the most serious injuries at the wedding. His brain nearly exploded after realising how carefree these ponies were. Half their town was blown up and they just casually had to celebrate a wedding afterwards. This world was insane the COG soldier thought. He couldn't even remember the last party he went to. Just the war was stuck in his mind and he couldn't really comprehend these ponies ways of thinking. It's all so surreal. Then again. They're actual cartoons with outlines and he's a an actual 3D human. Must be something with their brains he presumed.

But in the end Carmine decided not to put to much time in thinking over these situations. He'd just go with the flow like usual. Just let things happen and all will work out in the end. That's what he hoped.

He was recommended by princess Luna to become Ponyville's personal royal guard. He was even given a shiny golden badge. Now since their return to Ponyville, he was patrolling the streets now. Letting no crime go unpunished. Also, he was staying at Carousel Boutique with Rarity.

Fluttershy's cottage.

A sleeping dovakhiin was lying in Fluttershy's bed. Still recovering from his wounds. All was quiet. Fluttershy was humming a tune silently while sweeping the floor with a broom. Her cute little animal friends helping her in the process.

It began.

The dovakhiin jumped out the bed and immediatly sprinted for the door. A small beaver was blocking his path. Diabolical creatures indeed.

"By the gods! Move!" Ulfgar proceeded to uppercut the beaver. Knocking it comically high in the air through the roof, but not harming it. But now Ulfgar was slowed down for a moment and lowered his guard.

Then he was ambushed from behind. The cream colored pegasus bucked him in right the spine with an angry look on her face.

The dovakhiin fell to the ground in defeat in his weakened state. "I yield." He said raising two fingers.

"That's like the eighteenth time this week!" Fluttershy said annoyed. At first she was still being gentle with him. But after so many times of him trying to escape she figured out that the dovakhiin only learns things the hard way.

"By Ysgromar! I am fine pony! Can't you see? Just let me out of here so I can finish up with this Discord." Ulfgar said.

"No! You are to stay here until you are completely healed. By orders of the princess!" Fluttershy couldn't mention this fact often enough to the dragonborn.

"Yes yes... But I'm fine really! And where are my sword and armor?"

"You don't need those scary things until you've fully recovered. I've hidden them some place safe don't worry."

"By the gods woman! That blade is sacred to me! If something were to happen with it I sho-" Ulfgar was interupted.

"Now you just go back to bed. Or do I need to get Mr. Bear again?" Fluttershy said while frowning at the dovakhiin.

"Oh gods not Mr. Bear!" Ulfgar responded shocked. Normally a bear wouldn't pose much of a threat to the mighty dovakhiin. But without his armor, weapon and limited use of his magic due to his weakened state he wouldn't stand a chance.

So Ulfgar did as told, admitting defeat to the cream colored pegasus once again. But he was not giving up. Oh no, not yet. The mighty dovakhiin will find his way out. One way or another.

______________

Applejack and Heavy.

With Heavy helping at the farm Applejack found herself having a lot more free time then usual. He was able to knock down even the largest trees with a single punch. The Apple family did a week worth of work within a single day with him around. And all they had do is keep a roof over his head and pay him in sandwiches. But Heavy was now a more then welcome guest in the Apple family's house by now.

So now bored little Applejack without any work to do decided to see what her friends were up to. She decided to see how Ulfgar and Fluttershy were doing so she and the Russian were heading in that direction.

Upon arriving at the cottage Heavy stopped as he looked upon a horrifying sight.

Fluttershy... She was being devoured by a bear! Or at least that's what Heavy thought.

"DO NOT FEAR FLUTTERPONY! Heavy will go and save you!" Heavy shouted and sprinted off, determined to defeat this hairy foe.

Mr. Bear was just casually relaxing in Fluttershy's yard. Enjoying a well deserved massage after beating a human silly several times. But his relaxing afternoon was interupted by a shouting human storming towards him. Mother of Celestia! This one looked scary.

Mr. Bear stood up tall. In a defensive pose he got ready to protect himself. He waved his paw around slightly provoking the Russian. Come at me.

Heavy charged in the bears stomach. Slamming him to the ground. He then proceeded to grab both the bear's paws and started spinning him around.

The Russian kept building momentum and eventually released Mr. Bear. Throwing him at least thirty meters up in to the air. The bear crashed somewhere inside the Everfree Forest.

Heavy clapped victorious. "Yes! Do not thank me little Flutterpony. All is good."

"Oh my... Actually Mr. Bear was just visiting." Fluttershy peeped.

"What? Why did little pony not say?"

"I did... You didn't seem to hear me."

"Then little pony shout harder! HAAA!" Heavy made an example shouting right in her face.

"Aaaahh..." Fluttershy did a poor imitiation. But she did it extremely cute!

Applejack who was still surprised joined Heavy and Fluttershy.

"Did mah eyes jus' deceive me. Or did Heavy jus' launched a bear to the moon?" She asked.

"Mr. Bear is really resilient. I'm sure he's fine." Fluttershy said.

"Oh... alright. How's that Ulfgar fella doing then?"

"Oh he's being such a pain. He keeps trying to escape even though he needs to stay put and rest to let the wounds heal. He'll only hurt himself more by being so reckless."

"Then why don't ya just tie him up?"

"Oh my. I don't think that's a good idea Applejack..."

"Aw shucks. Ahm just throwing it out there, tell ya what. If he escapes one more time, you consider tying him up."

"I'm sure he's learned his lesson by now. I don't think he'll try to escape anymore! At least... I hope..."

"Aw well. Just lemme know how things are going later. Me an' Heavy are gonna check up with Pinkie Pie now."

"Bye little Flutterpony! Heavy is sorry he threw friendly bear!" The Russian waved her off.

"Oh that's alright. Thanks for visiting!" Fluttershy trotted back inside her cottage. Hopefully not expecting the next escape attempt by the dovakhiin.

_______________

Sniper and Derpy.

Sniper was sure he could live the sweet life. Hunt for his own food. Live in a shelter he built himself. Get warm at his own campfires. But nooo... The princesses wouldn't allow for him to live in the forest. The princesses offered him to also stay at Sweet Apple Acres since it's the largest place. But Sniper thought that was a bad idea. The RED Heavy was already residing there and even though they're on a temporary truce, they're still far from being friends. And since Derpy Hooves was the only one offering something else he had to give in.

It's not that he didn't like Derpy. She saved his life once for gods sake! But they wanted him to get a job. Surely they aren't looking for any assassins in Equestria and Sniper just really couldn't be bothered to make cupcakes, color rainbows or do other fluffy cute things.

After all, Sniper is a professional. And professionals do have standards.

"And I don't give a flying hoot about your stupid standards! As long you're living under MY roof you're listening to MY rules!" Derpy said demandingly.

"Crikey Sheila! I just don't want to do these stupid jobs. A man of my posistion shouldn't lower himself to that." Sniper responded.

"How are you lowering yourself by being a contributor to society?"

"Because these jobs are ridiculous."

"Okay... Let's go over the jobs again. You don't want to make sweets at Sugarcube Corner?"

"Nope."

"You don't want to work at Applejack's farm?"

"Nope."

"You don't want to be a librarian?"

"Do I look like a bloody librarian?"

"Okay... Well since you're not a pegasus you can't do cloud related jobs. Maybe... hmm no, that guard position is already taken by the other human."

"Oi that bastard!"

"Maybe... You can help me deliver mail?"

"Delivering mail? That doesn't sound so bad." Sniper could live with that.

"Hmm... But you can't fly. So you'll only be able to deliver local mail. I guess you're destined to be Ponyville's new 'mailman' from now on!" Derpy chuckled.

"Oh god what have I done." Sniper thought to himself. This pony... She's worse then Sniper's parents with her aggresive and demanding attitude.

Derpy lived alone in a decent sized house. And with that I mean decent sized for a pony. Sniper repeatedly kept hitting his head against the ceiling. Still, he had his own small room with his own tiny bed. Unbelievably comfortable should be mentioned though.

Sniper had no idea how technologically advanced these ponies were. He already noticed they had fridges and ovens. They could produce black and white old school movies at best. No computers, but they did have arcade games. So all was really awkward. Sniper cringed upon passing a antique phone.

"Oi. I didn't know ponies had phones?" Sniper said.

"Phones? What's a phone?" Derpy asked.

"Ya don't know what a phone is... But ya do have one?" Sniper pointed at the device.

"Oh that... That was a present actually. I never really knew what it was."

"A present ya say?"

"Yes. From Dr. Whooves actually. He's a really nice stallion."

"Hmm. So ya have a phone. And no other pony has a phone. Seems kinda useless doesn't it?"

"Well I still don't know what a 'phone' does. It's just here because it looks pretty."

But then the unimaginable happenend...

The old antique phone started ringing.

Sniper and Derpy looked at each other shocked. The ringing seemed to get louder by the second.

"W-what do we do?" Derpy asked.

"It's your bloody phone Sheila. Pick it up won't ya?" Sniper responded.

Derpy picked up the device. She appareantly know how to hold it properly and answered. "H-hello?"

It was silent for a few seconds. Sniper could just hear someone shouting vaguely over the other line. Derpy just stood shocked listening to this. She then lowered the phone and faced Sniper.

"It's for you..." Derpy said confused.

"Oh crikey this can't be good." Sniper could only think of one person calling him. He took over the phone and pointed Derpy outside the room. This had to be handled privately.

Derpy left the room but curiosity took over and did the only sensible thing. Eavesdrop.

She placed her ear against the door and started listening. She could only hear the BLU Sniper obviously.

"G'day this is Sniper."

"Ah dad how are ya doi-"

"Yes I know I should call more of-"

"What do ya mean? What? How did ya even got this number? I'm in a bloody different universe or world or whatever for gods sake."

"What do ya mean that RED bastard told ya. I've already told ya that I'm your son! Not the bloody RED Sniper."

"Yes of course he's saying the same thing!"

"No. I haven't been killing lately."

"I'm not a crazed gunman for the last time. I'm a bloody assassin."

"What would the difference be? The one's a job and the other's mental illness."

"Da-DAD! P-put mum on the phone! This is getting ridiculous."

"What do ya mean she's not home! You called me saying that ya both wanted to talk to me!"

"Well screw you as well" Sniper slammed down the phone, ending the conversation.

Derpy entered the room once again. Flabbergasted at the randomness.

"What was that all about?" She asked.

"I'll be honest with ya. My parents... do not care for it!"

"Care for what?"

"My job!"

"Being a mailman?"

"No for gods sake Sheila. Being an assassin."

"Well I've had enough random for the day. I'm off to my JOB! And you're starting tomorrow. So be prepared."

"Crikey!"

_______________

Sugarcube Corner.

Pinkie Pie was saddened none of the humans wanted to work with her at the bakery. These humans were weird, sure. But who in their right mind doesn't like cupcakes! Insanity she'd thought.

So just another booooooring day doing boring chores. Wait a second! Pinkie Pie spotted a two familiair faces outside. Her friend Applejack and the funny human Heavy. Surely they could help her find some excitement for the day.

"Hi!" Pinkie Pie stormed outside in a split second.

"Ah! Is little pink pony again." Heavy was startled due to her sudden appearance.

"She's just being Pinkie Pie. Anyway, do ya need help with anything today?" Applejack asked her friend.

"Well I do need to make another load of cupcakes before the end of the day... Maybe you two could help me!" Pinkie Pie said while cheerfully hopping up and down.

"Oh... Heavy does not think he is good baker. Maybe other job would be better." Heavy said.

Pinkie Pie's mane started deflating. Of course they wouldn't help her. She's just regular old Pinkie Pie and she knew bucking appletrees was so much more exciting then baking sweets.

"Oh okay. I'll just do it myself then..." Pinkie started heading back to Sugarcube Corner. She was extremely sad looking.

"Oh no! Little pink pony should not cry! Heavy will help pink pony!" Heavy quickly responded upon seeing the depressed Pinkie Pie.

Her mane immediatly puffed back up again. Appareantly it's an indication for her current mood. So she's happy again!

"Really REALLY?!" Pinkie started jumping around again. "And what about you Applejack?"

"Oh. Of course I'm helping ya Pinkie. That's what friends are for right?" Applejack said.

"Yay!" Pinkie Pie immediatly dragged AJ and Heavy with her inside.

Heavy was shocked to see more bright colors inside this weird looking building. He also noticed two other ponies. A stallion and a mare, both older then most ponies he met, or at least thats what he guessed.

"Mr and Mrs. Cake! Applejack and Mr. Heavy are going to help me with the cupcakes I promised to make!" Pinkie Pie shouted in her boss's face.

"Oh that's wonderful Pinkie! Uhh... Who's Mr. Heavy?" Mr. Cake said. He had only seen Carmine before being an annoying guard. He only heard stories of the other two. Rumors were going around town that one of them is a half-dragon and the other is a giant bear/gorilla monster.

"Oh don't worry Mr. Cake! He's a really nice guy that loves to par-tay!" Pinkie Pie was always positive.

Then Heavy walked up front. Holding his enormous mini-gun in his hands he looked terrifying to the Cake's. He proceeded to throw the weapon right on top of the counter.

"Little ponies keep Sasha safe while Heavy is working. Do not lose eye on her. Heavy knows where you live." The Russian said with a calm tone.

"Y-y-yes sir!" The Cake's immediatly agreed with his terms and conditions.

"You see! I told you he's a nice guy. Lalalala." Pinkie Pie happily trotted over towards the kitchen. Heavy left his mini-gun and gave the Cake's a final glare before following the pink pony.

"Ahm sorry. But he's a really nice fella once ya get to know him." Applejack said apologizing to the Cake's. She then also followed Pinkie Pie to the kitchen.

Five minutes later.

"This is boring..." Pinkie Pie said.

"Well work ain't supposed to be fun. It's all about getting the job done." Applejack responded.

"Da. Heavy was once in work camp in Siberia. If we did not work, wolves and bears would come to eat us." The Russian said.

"Wait, what? That sounds horrible!" Applejack said.

"No. Was good job actually. Puny bears and wolves make good punching bags." Heavy smirked.

"I know what we can do!" Pinkie Pie just had a brilliant idea.

"Just continue working?" Applejack shrugged.

"No! We sing a song!"

"Pinkie... Ya can't just sing a song everytime you m-" Applejack stopped mid-sentence as the pink party pony already started her song.

"All you have to do is take a cup of flo-" But now Pinkie was interupted.

"Oh! Heavy knows this song!"

"Really? Then let's sing it together!" Pinkie Pie couldn't be more happy.

So now they simultaneously started singing the Cupcake song. Or at least that's what Pinkie thought.

"All you have to do is take a cup of flour..."

"Add it to the mix!"

"Now just take a little something sweet, not sour..."

"A bit of salt, just a pinch!"

"Baking these treats is such a sinch!"

"Add a teaspoon of van-" Pinkie was interupted here.

"Bologna!" The Russian's voice overpowered the pink pony's.

"Bologna? That isn't right... is it?" Pinkie Pie wondered but she just continued anyway.

"Add a little more and you count to four..."

"And you never get your FILLA!!!"

"Cupc-" Once again Pinkie was interupted.

"Sandvich! So moist and delicious."

"Sandvich! I'M COMING FOR YOU!"

"Sandvich! Sandvich sandvich sandwiiiich!" ( Actual song. )

"This did not just happen..." Applejack said shocked.

But it did. The human and ponies threw in these random ingredients and somehow managed to create this monstrosity. It was a cupcake/sandwich hybrid, or actually basically it was just a cupcake between two loaves of bread. But due to the power of imagination it was delicious.

Pinkie Pie didn't understood Heavy's obsession with sandwiches. But it would be hypocritical of her to judge him seeing as she was stuffing down more cupcakes than any pony.

At the end of the day the two ponies and human did actually manage to finish the large order of cupcakes that was placed. The Cake's didn't helt much hope in the first place, but luckily they misjudged the scary looking human and in the end he proved to be quite the hard worker. He was of course paid for this job. Heavy didn't really know what to do with the bits, but it was nice to have.

"Thanks alot you two!" Pinkie was grateful for their help. But it was getting late and time to play was over.

"Not a problem sugarcube. Ah'll see you again tomorrow." Applejack said.

"Bye little pink pony! Was good day today." The Russian waved waved Pinkie Pie goodbye as he and Applejack started to head back to the farm.

Fluttershy's cottage.

All week now the dovakhiin has been studying the prison warden. Surely she must have some weaknesses. Fluttershy had only one. Her kindness, Surely Ulfgar could use this to his advantage to escape this wretched dungeon.

Okay, it wasn't a dungeon. It was a cottage. But still, the dovakhiin felt imprisoned. Even if he's hurt he shouldn't be confined to one place. Back in Skyrim there wouldn't be anyone helping him if he was stabbed in the stomach, he had to take care of himself. Now there was someone taking care of him and he didn't like it one bit.

After half a week of failed escape attempts the dovakhiin mastered enough strength for his master plan. He just had to wait for the perfect timing. Mr. Bear, the dovakhiin's greatest foe at the cottage, mysteriously dissapeared. So as soon as possible would be great.

Weird ideas went through the dovakhiin's mind as he started planning on what to do after escaping. He didn't want to harm the ponies, but he needed his sword and armor back. He might need to take a hostage. Yes, that would be the most peaceful solution he thought.

But first escape. And that proved to be more difficult then any dungeon he was ever locked up in Skyrim.

The warden... Fluttershy. More cruel then any he ever met. By singing lovely songs and never-ending kindness the dovakhiin was tortured more than the Thalmor or Empire could ever do to him.

The time was near. Night was coming and Fluttershy was starting to gather up her animal friends to say good night. As I said, she's ridiculously nice.

"Yes yes! Excellent." The dovakhiin rubbed his hands like a diabolical supervillain.

"Oh I'm sorry that you got hurt Mr. Beaver. I promise you it will never happen again." Fluttershy said to the beaver who was shoryuken'd through the roof earlier today. She gave him a small cartoon band-aid on his head instantly healing all his wounds.

She then proceeded to say good night to all the animals individually. This would usually take her a full thirty minutes.

Ulfgar spotted that most the critters were in the cottage now. Good! Now to set his master plan in motion.

He stepped from the bed, moving as silently as possible. Now standing in the door opening, spying on the cream colored pegasus.

It was time.

"RAAN MIR TAH!" With all his might he shouted Animal Allegiance Pack as dragon words. Commanding the critters to do his bidding.

"Haha! Now what can you do warden? Your army is under my command now." Ulfgar bragged and already started celebrating his victory.

Fluttershy just looked slightly confused. "You're not supposed to be out of bed yet." She said.

"To the depths of hell with your bed! I'm free once again." Ulfgar paused for a moment. "Tell me, where are my weapons?"

"You're not getting those back UNTIL you've recovered for the last time." Fluttershy said annoyed.

"Wrong answer." The dovakhiin grinned. "Attack!" He commanded his critter army to hold Fluttershy busy while he was escaping in style.

But the animals didn't move.

"By Ysgromar's beard! Attack the pony!" He commanded them once more.

Still no reaction.

"Move to the right!"

This time however the pack of animals under Ulfgar's command did as told.

"What black sorcery is this?!" The critters did follow the dovahiin's orders. But they wouldn't attack the pony, no matter what.

"It's the power of kindess." Fluttershy said determined. "My friends won't hurt me no matter what happens to them."

"Fine then! I don't need these unworthy grass eaters to help me." Ulfgar started taking a sprint towards the door.

"No wait! You can't leave!" Fluttershy shouted.

But it was too late. Ulfgar simply jumped through the closed door. Leaving it broken and sprinted off even faster after.

"Hah!" He started laughing victoriously. Even without the use of his shout he was able to escape that terrifying place. Now he just had to find his blade and armor again. And then the hunt for Discord would be back on. Maybe it's hidden i- *Thump*

The dovakhiin crashed in to something. Whatever it was, it was very cuddly and warm.

"Grraaawwwllhgh!" Oh by the gods it isn't cuddly at all.

It was the dovakhiin's new nemesis. Mr. Bear, who finally started heading back to Fluttershy's cottage after a nap to let her know he was doing fine after being thrown in the forest. But now he faced Ulfgar once again and Mr. Bear was anything but in a good mood right now.

"Roar!" He swiped at the weakened dovakhiin instantly knocking him out once again. He then dragged his unconscious body back to the cottage.

Mr. Bear knocked on the door just a few times. Like a gentleman or rather a 'gentlebear'.

Fluttershy opened the door and was surprised to see the dovakhiin back again.

"Graawlghhh mmmmhhhm graarrrooar." The bear said.

"Oh thank you so much Mr. Bear! I was just about to fly over to Twilight. Thank Celestia you brought him back. You didn't hurt him did you?" Fluttershy asked.

"Graaroarmmhh."

"Oh... Okay I guess that's fine. I just hope he won't escape again." A flashback then suddenly appeared in Fluttershy's mind.

"Then why don't ya just tie him up?" She saw Applejack repeat this sentence over and over again.

"Hmm. Maybe... But only because I care about him and I don't want him to get hurt." Fluttershy and Mr. Bear returned to her room where the bear dropped the dovakhiin back in her bed. Fluttershy meanwhile gotten a rope and started tying up the still unconscious dovakhiin as tightly as possible.

"There. Now I'm sure he won't escape again!

______________

Clayton Carmine. Ponyville's current law enforcer.

Yes things have been going smoothly since the wedding. He's earning lots of bits as a 'royal' guard. Still he had no idea what to do with it. But it was a fun thing to do to pass time. Just annoying the hell out of ponies passing him.

One thing bothered Carmine. He was a guard. An officer. A man of the law here now. But there wasn't any crime. The worst thing he witnessed was two ponies bullying some others for not having a cutie mark. Wow, what a crime. Off to the dungeons with them.

So Carmine had to use his imagination to make things interesting. The ponies in Ponyville are now not that scared of him anymore since he's been patrolling the streets all week. They all knew his face. Or helmet.

"Hey you!" Carmine stopped a brown stallion.

"Me?" The pony answered confused.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"I'm uhh... I'm just walking home."

"Move along sir."

"What? Then why did you stop me. This is ridiculous!"

"SIR I NEED YOU TO MOVE ALONG! I've been instructed to use force if neccesary." Carmine grabbed a can of pepperspray.

"Wait, what? But I didn't do any-" The brown stallion was interupted as the COG soldier started emptying the can of pepperspray right in his face.

"AH MY EYES AAAH! It... doesn't burn?" The pony was surprised.

"Hah! It's just water. Wuss!" Carmine loved pranking these guys. Hilarious.

"Wow.. You're a terrible guard. You know that?"

"Yeah, but at least I'm a good soldier. Now move along citizen!"

The brown pony left the scene, cursing the COG soldier a few more times. Carmine didn't care. He'd put his life on the line everyday protecting this town. Dangerous job indeed. He couldn't help but chuckle at these thoughts.

"Oh It's nine o'clock. My shift for the day is over. Yep, better head back to that weird fashion pony and get some shut-eye." Carmine started heading back to the Carousel Boutique where he was staying.

Rarity on the other hand didn't like the human staying over one bit. He was a terrible house guest. With no manners, complaining about everything and worst of all a bad influence on Sweetie Belle with his terrifying stories.

"Yo Rarity. What's up, I'm home!" Carmine kicked in the door and entered the extremely clean boutique.

"Oh Carmine. It's... nice to have you back here." Rarity couldn't help but notice the COG soldier's dirty boots covered in mud. "How was your day?" She asked.

"Oh, you know. This and that happened. Had to show some ponies who's boss. Thought I spotted a wolf earlier, ended up being a rock. You know how things go." He stomped through the living room and jumped on the couch leaving dirty tracks behind him.

"Oh. How interesting... Would you perhaps mind taking of yo-" Rarity was interupted.

"And then this donkey showed up. I didn't think he could talk so I was just riding it for ten minutes before he decided to throw me off." Carmine proceeded to lay down on the perfectly white couch. Now with both dirty feet on it he was being even a bigger dick then Rick James to the Murphy's. The entire couch was covered in dirt by now.

Rarity started grinding her teeth. This wasn't just rude. This was plain evil! And things have been going like this all week. She had to put a stop to this.

"You sir are the most disgusting ruffian ever to set foot in my boutique. You have no manners, no regard for other ponies possesions. You tell stories that don't make any sense and most importantly YOU RUINED MY PERFECT COUCH!"

"Oh, this? Sorry I didn't notice. I'm sure it'll come right off." Carmine said.

"No, I've had enough of this nonsense! I want you out right now!"

"Oh come on, I'm sure we can talk this over."

"Until you've learned how to behave like a gentleman you're no longer allowed to set foot in my boutique!"

"Oh come on! Where the hell am I even supposed to go?"

"There's alot more generous ponies in Ponyville. I'm sure there's one around that might tolerate your vulgarity."

"Fine! Kick out the soldier! You'll be sorry later. They all are in the end." Carmine left the boutique feeling insulted and made sure to let Rarity to know this by slamming the door behind him.

Rarity felt extremely bad for doing this. But he was sooooooo annoying.

___________________

So Carmine had to find a new place to sleep. It's already ten o'clock now and that would be rather difficult at this hour. He could go over to Twilight's library. He's sure that she has some extra room. Plus that dragon kinda looked like a stoner so he could hang out with him. Wait a second. It's a baby dragon! Nevermind that then.

More options. Rainbow Dash! Oh wait no, she lives on top of a cloud. Unless the COG soldier grew wings he could forget about that.

That leaves... only one more option.

"Lyyyyyyyyyraaaaaa." Carmine threw some rocks at a window.

"What!" Lyra opened the window annoyed.

"I got kicked out. Can I stay here for the night? I know you've got an extra room! I'll even pay you." The COG soldier asked.

"No. Go away! You'll just blow up my house again." Lyra slammed her windows shut.

"Lyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyraaaaaa!" Carmine continued being annoying.

Author's notes; This chapter was weird. Even for my standards.
Okay another note, literally everything went wrong during editing and I basically had to rewrite the entire chapter again. Point out errors and I'll fix them.

Chapter sixteen. Vengeance and Hats.

"Lyyyyyyyyyraaaa!" Carmine whined while he continued throwing rocks at the unicorn's window. Much to her annoyance of course.

"OI CAN YA KEEP IT DOWN YA BLOODY BLOCKHEAD!" The BLU Sniper suddenly yelled a from a few houses further.

"Screw you man! It's cold outside." Carmine shouted back. He then resumed throwing rocks.

*CLINK*CRASH*BOOM*

Of course he threw a rock straight through the window.

"ARE YOU INSANE!?" Lyra shouted.

Carmine didn't answer. He just proceeded to look as helpless as possible. As a young boy he stared awkardly at the ground, hoping to trick the unicorn with his innocence.

After sleeping in a real bed after all this time spend in the war he couldn't just abandon that luxury. It was just so comfortable, even though the beds are comically small.

"I told you to just let him in." Bon Bon said while frowning at Lyra.

"What? And I told you he's an idiot." Lyra answered.

"Didn't you say he helped you at the wedding last week?"

"Yeah... But he's still a weirdo. Come on! He just threw a rock through our window!"

"Oh boo-hoo. You can just fix it instantly with your magic anway."

"Still. He's strange..."

"How can you be so heartless Lyra! Just look at him. He's got nowhere to go in a world that isn't even his own. Can you even imagine how that must feel? Just look in those sad blue eyes."

"I don't think those are his eyes..."

"But aren't they sad looking?"

"Ughh... Fine, I'll let him in. But if he blows up our house AGAIN. I'm blaming you." Lyra proceeded to trot downstair to open the door for the cold lonely COG soldier.

"You can come in... But only for one night!" Lyra said to Carmine.

Carmine just smirked and followed her inside. He saw a extremely large couch. That was now his destination. His goal. His Everest.

He prepared for a giant leap of faith to crash in to the comfortableness that is that giant couch. It must be his. It has to be!

But he was stopped by a green hoof.

"Take off those dirty boots." Lyra said while narrowing her eyes.

"Yes of course!" He kicked out his boots and rushed to the couch. It was even more comfortable then he could ever imagine. If heaven was real. It was most likely this couch. He proceeded to lay as relaxed as possible.

"Can I get you something to drink?" Lyra asked.

"Yeah. You got some Coca Cola?" The COG soldier asked.

"No... But we do have Pony Cola."

Carmine facepalmed. This world. "That's... fine." He said.

Carmine looked at the ceiling. It wasn't as high as Carousel Boutique. But it was decent.

Lyra then returned with three glasses of cola.

Three glasses? Hmm. Oh yes, Bon Bon lives here as well Carmine remembered. He spoke with her once before.

Lyra proceeded to sit next to the COG soldier on the couch. Strangely enough in the exact same position as him. She placed the glass of cola on her belly and drank from it with a straw. Nothing ununusal about this at all.

Bon Bon was next to enter the room. She properly greeted Carmine and proceeded to sit in a chair next to the giant couch. Carmine frowned at her 'weird' sitting pose. It was like... a cat or a horse or something.

"Why are you sitting like that?" Carmine asked.

"Yes Lyra... Explain to us why you always sit like that." Bon Bon smirked.

"Actually... I meant you." Carmine stated.

Lyra spat out what cola was still in her mouth and bursted out in to laughter.

"What do you mean me? I just sit like any other pony." Bon Bon said after feeling insulted.

"Nah. Lyra here got the right idea." Carmine said.

"Hah! I told you this is the proper way to sit! You all said I'm crazy! Like when I said humans were real!" Finally justice has come to Lyra Heartstrings.

"Okay fine." Bon Bon facehooved. "But I'm not changing the way I sit and neither is any other pony."

"So... Are you two uhh..." Carmine started making some awkward gestures with his hands. Forming two pairs of scissors with his fingers and rubbing them against each other.

"What! No!" Now both ponies started blushing. "We're just roommates!" They said.

"Okay whatever, I don't care." Carmine continued to dig even further in to the comfortableness of the couch.

"So... Since there's a human here we might as well ask some questions?" Bon Bon said.

"Go ahead." Carmine answered.

"How many humans are left?" Lyra asked.

"Not much. The locust killed more then twenty-five percent of the population on E-day alone."

"What's a locust?"

"You know that scary big thing at the wedding. Something like that."

"Oh... It must be horrible to live in a place surrounded by monsters like that."

"Yeah it wasn't sunshine all day that's for sure. Equestria's a much nicer place, that much I can tell you."

"Don't you miss your friends back home?" Bon Bon asked.

"Friends? I don't know about friends. Gears however. I don't really miss them."

"Really? Why?" Lyra asked.

"Because they're dicks that's why!"

"Ouch... Why?"

"Pfft. They're just mocking the Carmine family. Before I joined Delta squad I heard all of them were placing bets on if I was going to die or not. Believe it or not, it ended up being a pretty big contest."

"That's horrible!" Bon Bon said.

"I know right?! But in the end I guess they're the ones laughing, because here I am. Dead and in a world filled with talking ponies." Carmine had to facepalm at the situation one more time. But things could be worse. Actually he had a pretty fun time in Equestria.

"I guess it must be really hard for you humans to adjust to all of this. But are you sure you don't have any regrets from before entering this world?" Lyra asked.

"Just one." Carmine then proceeded to look at his tattoo. "Just one."

The next day. Sniper.

Yep. It's Sniper's first day being Ponyville's local mailman. It's not to bad of a job. But one thing bothered him. They didn't give him a hat with his uniform.

Okay this was the address. A bit of a strange house that's for sure. It's a bloody tree for gods sake.

Sniper knocked on the door and grabbed his list of data.

The door opened.

"G'day. I got a delivery here for a... Twinkle Sparkles. Some books I reckon." He said.

"I think you mean Twilight Sparkle..." A voice answered. But Sniper didn't see anyone.

"Oi Spy? Is that you?" Sniper asked confused while looking around.

"No it's Spike actually." The voice answered annoyed. "And I'm down here!"

"Crikey! We got ourselves a little croc here." Sniper was amazed to see the weird creature.

"I'm a dragon! Not a crocodile dude." Spike answered.

"A bloody dragon. That's the spirit kid, aim for the stars!"

"Ughh... Just come in. I'll get Twilight."

Sniper followed the baby dragon inside. Once again, low ceilings. Very annoying. Sniper waited in the living room while Spike went to get Twilight.

"Hey Twilight. Another one of those weird humans is here." Spike said after arriving upstairs.

"Ah Spike. Perfect timing. Mail these letters to princess Celestia right away." Twilight ordered her assistant.

"Why? What do they say?"

"That doesn't matter right now! Just send them."

Spike proceeded to do as told but was wary of Twilight weird behavior. She'd been busy with writing the princess and looking up information ever since the wedding. She looked as if she hadn't slept in days.

"I think you should really take a break Twilight." Spike said to Twilight. Clearly worried about her.

"You think I can just take a break?! Spike, have you seen what Discord brought to my brother's wedding? He needs to be stopped! And we have no idea what the changelings are doing now." The purple unicorn continued rattling.

"Twilight, you really need to st-"

"And the gryphons have blocked all their contacts with us after that object had crashed in to their land. Who knows if Discord is responsi-" Now Twilight was interupted.

"You need to calm down Twi. Seriously, you're freaking me out. Take a break right now! The mailman is downstairs with more books."

"You don't get it Spike! There's might something directly linked to the Everfree F- Mailman?"

"Yeah one of the humans."

Twilight proceeded to trot downstairs and greet the new mailman. Sniper was still waiting in the living room.

"G'day. Just sign here and here and I'll be on my way again." Sniper said.

"Oh. Are you sure you don't want to stay around for a drink? I'd love to ask some questions." Twilight asked.

"Much appreciated mate. But there's a job to be done. These packages aren't going to deliver themselves."

"I understand. Work always comes first." Twilight proceeded to unwrap the packages she received.

The first one was a book in fairly good shape. It was titled; Daring Do and the ruins of Anor Londo.

The second book was near ancient. Terrible shape and still mostly covered in dust. Sniper could only read parts of the title.

Everfree Forest. Alterna-(The rest was covered in dust) By Starswirl the bearded.

Sniper could only leave the purple unicorn with one piece of advice.

"Don't mess with things ya know nothing about Sheila." Sniper left not saying a word more. Deliveries had to be made after all.

Fluttershy's cottage

"Yeah that was a terrible idea Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said to her friend.

"Oh dear... I thought it would be best... I mean, he keeps trying to run away!" Fluttershy peeped.

In the next room was the dovakhiin. Still tied to the bed and not happy at all about this fact. He already turned the entire room upside down with the power of his shouts and enraged spastic movements.

"Unleash me from this hell at once!" Ulfgar shouted repeatedly.

"Oh no... Please Mr. Ulfgar! You really have to calm down. You might open your wounds again." Fluttershy was worried.

"Yeah Ulfy. You just need to relax for a bit. We'll kick Discord's behind later." Rainbow Dash added.

"Relax? How can I relax when the being that took everything from me roams around freely?" Ulfgar stopped struggling for a moment to speak seriously.

"But you're hurt... We can't do anything right now." Rainbow Dash said.

"Don't you ponies understand? Every second we waste not hunting down Discord is more time for him to bring more lackeys to fight. How many need to die before you understand that? We need to move on him before he summons more dragons, draugr or those lambent Carmine keeps talking about. He needs to die. Only then peace will return to your world."

"Don't you think you're taking this revenge thing a bit to far?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Revenge? No this is more then just revenge. He took everything from me. Everything! What I want is justice." Ulfgar would slam his fists on something if his hands weren't tied up.

"But you want to return home don't you?" Fluttershy asked.

"What fool do you think I am? I know that returning to Skyrim is impossible. My soul is lost to that realm forever."

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash remained silent. They knew of this fact and were specifically told by princess Celestia not to let the dragonborn know. She feared his reaction, and for good reasons.

"I hate him. I hate them all..." Ulfgar mumbled.

"Don't you understand? I... We don't belong here. No matter what you might say or try to change us. We're all murderers, cold-blooded killers with our own reasons. This world... This wonderful land... It's not meant for us. It's all out of place." The dovakhiin added.

"T-then what are you going to do?" Fluttershy asked hesitantly.

"I will help you and your people. I already swore of this. I can forgive your princess's lies. But I can never forgive the one you call Discord. Vengeance will be mine... eventually."

"Thank goodness. I thought you were going to hurt us for a minute there. But then what are you going to do after that?" Fluttershy asked, but was slightly relieved.

"There is but one place I seek out."

"And what's that?"

Ulfgar tried to look outside. But it proved rather difficult with him being tied to the bed.

"Sovngarde..."

_____________

Heavy and Applejack.

Once again all the work at the farm was already done, so both pony and human were feeling bored.

"What happens now?" Heavy asked.

"Ah dunno. Ah don't feel like visiting Pinkie Pie again if ya'll just gonna keep singing all the time." Applejack answered.

"Was good time. Pink little pony is funny to me." Heavy laughed.

"Hmm. Twilight said she's busy and Rainbow Dash is already with Fluttershy. Ah guess we could check up on Rarity and that Carmine fella."

"I do not think is good idea. Little white pony seems strange." Heavy said.

"And that's coming from the strangest fella ah know. Come on. She won't bite." Applejack giggled.

Heavy just mumbled some things in Russian afterwards. But proceeded to follow the orange earth pony to Carousel Boutique.

They arrived fairly quick. Applejack knocked on the door.

"Cooooming!" A sweet voice said from inside the boutique.

"Applejack darling! What brings you here on this fine day?" Rarity asked when she opened the door.

"Jus' checking up on you and Carmine since we got nothing to do." Applejack said sheepishly.

"Ah yes. If it's Carmine you're looking for, he's not here anymore."

"What? Why?"

"We had some... disagreements yesterday and I kindly asked him to leave."

"What? Why would ya just do that?"

"Oh Applejack. He was a terrible house guest. He kept whining and telling ridiculous stories. And he even ruined my beautiful white couch!"

"So ya jus' kicked him out?"

"Well... If you put it that way, it sounds rather heartless yes."

"Ah cant believe ma ears. Yer supposed to be the element of generosity remember!"

"Oh Applejack!" Rarity's tone suddenly changed. "I honestly feel terrible about it, but he just kept pushing my limits. I really couldn't take it anymore."

"Well yer jus' going to have to apologize to him."

"Yes... I know. And will do so when I have the time. But I have to much work on my hooves at the moment."

"Maybe Heavy and apple pony can help." The Russian suddenly joined their conversation.

"Oh my... Thank you for the offer. But I don't think you two are suited for this kind of work. Besides, I'm still awaiting a delivery." Rarity answered.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Ah! There it must be. Cooooooming!" Rarity trotted towards the door and opened it.

"G'day. I got a delivery here for... uhh Rare Iddy." The mailman said.

"OH LOOK! Is puny BLU Sniper! He is now lowly delivery boy!" Heavy started laughing his ass off.

"Oi screw you fat blockhead! Ya think picking apples is a job to be proud of?" Sniper answered annoyed.

"Heavy does not pick apples. He crushes puny trees who cower in my presence!" The Russian said.

"Yes yes... That's all extremely interesting. But could I perhaps have my package?" Rarity suddenly asked.

"Oh yeah. Here ya go Sheila." Sniper tossed over the package.

"Ouch!" The package landed right on Rarity nose.

"Sorry about that. Still not used to being around ponies." Sniper said trying to maintain his professionalism.

"It's... quite alright. At least there isn't anything fragile in it."

"Then what ya got there then Rarity?" Applejack asked.

"Ah yes. It's all supplies. I've been asked to design and create a bunch of stylish headwear for an upcoming event in Manehattan."

Sniper's ears caught this fact. Hats. Dear god. Hats!

"Did ya say you're making hats?" Sniper asked.

"Indeed I am." Rarity answered.

"Then what's a hat from this place gotta cost?" Sniper asked.

"Well. I guess the average price in my boutique would be around a hundred and fifty bits. But I guess I could make you a fair deal."

Sniper didn't have any bits. He was just starting his first day on the job and wouldn't get paid untill the end of the week. But he had to get one of those hats.

But Heavy... He had been working all week. Surely he must have lots of cash.

"Oi. Do ya understand the situation here blockhead?" Sniper whispered to the Russian.

"Yes. Little pony can use magic." Heavy answered.

Sniper facepalmed. "For gods sake mate! She makes bloody hats! Don't you understand? Any hat we're getting here would be considered an unusual when we're back home. We'll be the classiest men on the battlefield!"

"Hats... HATS!" Heavy opened his purse and threw all the bits he had earned over the last week towards Rarity.

"Ah! What are you doing?" Rarity got startled.

"We must have hats! Make one for me and BLU Sniper." Heavy shouted.

"But Heavy... Ya earned more then seven hundred bits. Ah think yer giving a tad to much." Applejack said.

"Yes. If you want some hats I'll be able to provide you with some. But for two hats just two-hundred bits is more then enough in your case." Rarity added.

"Njet! Heavy does not care for money. You can have all. I need only sleep and sandvich."

"Oh my... I don't think I can just simply accept this." Rarity said.

"Take all. Is of no use to me anyway."

"That's awfully generous of you Mr. Heavy!" Rarity said overjoyed. "I'll make sure to put as much effort as possible in to creating them."

"Da! All very good. Heavy will come back when hat is ready."

"Score!" The BLU Sniper thought to himself. Years he dreamt of his very own unusual hat. "When do ya think they're done?" Sniper asked.

"A day. Maybe two. I can't promise anything. I have an extremely busy schedule."

"That's alright. Just let us know." Sniper then left the boutique. His first day as a mailman was finished and for some reason he was more exhausted then after a full day of sniping. But that's fine. In just a few days he'd have his new hat.

"Ah guess we're leaving as well. Seems like ya have a lot of work to do." Applejack said.

"Oh yes. But make sure to send over Carmine if you're able to find him. I'd like to apologize to him."

"Will do. Good luck with yer job." Applejack and Heavy waved the white unicorn off. Leaving her to craft the best hats ever.

_____________

The gryphon kingdom. The city of Griffua.

Less then two weeks ago a strange object crashed in to the middle of the roman-inspired town. Inside was a unconscious group of creatures the gryphons never encountered before.

The creatures were stripped of all weapons and objects that seemed out of place. Afterwards they were sold as slaves to the house of Grifiatus.

Now the group fights daily in the gladiator's arena attempting to buy their freedom from this wretched place. They had only one goal. Save their friend.

"You've all proven yourselves to be WORTHY gladiators! The titans that stood before you. Grificus and Grixus. Worthless cocks of a mule compared to you! YES! Your fighting spirit equals that of the true gods themselves!" Quintus Grifiatus spoke to his newly aquired gladiators.

"You want you freedom? Then aquire it by force! Crush the final gladiator that the house of Grifonius has to offer! Then I will personally escort you out the gates of our precious kingdom with all your lost equipment. Just fight this one last time. With honor and blood!"

"This has really gotten out of hand man." One person said.

"I guess so. Let's just kill that final guy and get this over with." Another one added.

"Mmmpphh."

_______________

Meanwhile at the legion of doom. Discord's hideout.

"Yes... there is so much chaos here. And it's so much closer then I thought." Discord began laughing maniacally.

He was watching through his portal. A creature. No. A monster... It was fully shrouded in darkness. Discord could see nothing but skulls.

This being was a thousand times more evil then Discord could ever imagine himself to be. He watched a nameless human hero get slaughtered by his army of undying skeletal warriors. Another human seemed to escape the monstrosity.

It started making some awkard gestures and then spoke out loudly.

"Praise the s-" Discord was interupted before he was able to hear the human finish.

"Discord!" Chrysalis appeared behind him.

"Ah! Don't sneak up on me!" Discord responded annoyed.

"You shouldn't mess with unexplored areas. Who knows what resides in them. Stick to what we already know." Chrysalis sounded worried.

"Pfft. What do you know? True chaos must be witnessed. Otherwise what's the point?"

"I've seen what you have hidden beneath here... You don't need anything else anymore."

"What? I've specifically told you not to enter that area!"

"What... is it?"

"Hmm... Great way to spoil the finale. No, the thing you saw beneath our caverns is something that will secure victory for me in the end. But it is not yet finished. It needs more time. That's why I'm having fun playing games with our human friends!"

"I don't care what it is you're planning. As long those humans will suffer for what they have done."

"Yes... All in due time. Just one more game." Discord started chuckling.

"Then what are we doing this time?"

"We take over Canterlot. For real this time!"

"You know we can't just easily get passed those humans."

"Exactly. That's why we're splitting them and the elements up while you and your changelings and maybe another one of my minions crush the city from within."

"That's... genius!"

"Yes indeed. But we need something to stall time."

"Do you have anything planned?"

"The one named Heavy is a savage brute. The only way to take out a brute is to use another. Destroy force with more force."

"Hmm yes. As long our force is stronger at least..."

"And Private Clayton Carmine... The soldier. A laid back man who hates nothing. Soon that will change. Yes... I have something very special planned for him."

"Good good."

"And Ulfgar the fearless. Rarely I've met a person as stubborn as him. But I know he's weakened. He might be able to destroy brutes with no problem. But what is to happen if he were to face something much more skilled them himself?"

"He will fall. Hopefully as painful as possible."

"Yes. And I have something nice to accompany you to Canterlot. I'm sure you'll like it."

"And what about the fourth human?" Chrysalis asked.

"Fourth human?" Discord was aware of him. But didn't want Chrysalis to know. Everything had to go as planned.

"We'll deal with him as we go. For now we stick with the plan. Be prepared. For we strike soon." Discord rubbed his claws and proceeded maniacally laughing once again.

Authors note; Well sorry it isn't a six-thousand words chapter. I really couldn't fit more in.
Also I said I was going to add some breather chapters. I lied. I made two now and I can't be arsed to do so any further. I'm really excited about writing a certain event.
I'm starting to build up some things as you might notice. The ending of this story is coming. Maybe 4-5 more chapters. I can't promise anything.
And don't worry. I'm not adding any more characters. I'm just building up to something.
Because when shit gets real. Shit will get real!

PS. I'm looking for an editor that could help me improve the obvious flaws of my writing and oversee the many spelling errors I tend to make. For the rest of this story and perhaps something in the future. Please PM me if interested <3.

Chapter eighteen. Brothers to the end.

The gryphon kingdom. Grifua's arena.

The entire arena was sold out for the upcoming gladiator event. Grifeokoles. The last gladiator standing for the house of Grifonius was to face one of the strange visitors that entered their land. Grifeokolos was a gryphon obviously. But not like any other. He was at least twice the size of any normal gryphon. And at least three times as buffed. Armed with sword in beak and one in claw he prepared to annihilate all that will oppose him on the sands of the arena.

His opponent. One of the beings that unluckily crashed in to Grifua. A man. We'll refer to him as 'Tavish' for the time being.

Tavish was completely unarmored and only armed with just a bottle of booze. Half-empty of course. But this did not bother him in the slightest. Gladiator gryphons. Who the hell comes up with this nonsense? Anyway, their current Dominus or basically slave master Quintus Grifiatus, promised to release the group after winning this final fight.

"Begin!" Both Lanista's signalled for the battle to begin.

The crowd went wild as Grifeokoles, a personal favorite by the spectators, started smashing his two swords together. "Grifua! Grifua!" He yelled.

Tavish just facepalmed. These gryphons are crazy. The crowd is crazy. Everything is crazy here. Let's just get this over with. He quickly drank what was left in the bottle. Tavish had trouble keeping his balance as he was starting to get pretty drunk. After he finished he smashed the glass bottle in half. Now it's basically a knife!

"Y-ye better listen boyo. I'm gonna beat ye so hard you'll have a twitch!" Tavish spoke with drunk tongue while pointing the sharp broken bottle at the gryphon.

"Raah!" Grifeokoles was not amused by these threats and immediatly charged at the human with both blades drawn.

The gryphon was extremely fast, physically strong and appeared to have the obvious advantage seeing as he's much better armed then the human. Tough steel versus dirty old rags. Dual swords against a bottle of liquor. Plus the human was drunk! This will be easy.

A fatal mistake. 'Tavish' had probably killed more people in his life then there are spectators in this entire arena.

He proceeded to do a simple side-step, avoiding in the incoming slash. Tavish then jammed the broken bottle in the gryphon's throat with all his might. It was that easy.

Grifeokoles tried to curse the human with his last words before falling to the sands in defeat. But he never managed to speak them as he was dead before he even hit the ground. At least he got what he wanted. A honorable death in the arena. Right?

The spectators were silent for a few seconds, but then giant wave of cheering and applauding emerged. Cheering for the new champion of Grifua.

"DeGroot! DeGroot! DeGroot!" The crowd chanted.

Tavish didn't bother to bow to the crowd. He had better things to do. Get a new bottle of Scrumpy of course!

"At last, the gods remove cock from fucking ass! Ha ha! The house of Grifiatus, no, the house of Quintus Lentulus Grifiatus rises to the fucking heavens!" Grifiatus was obviously overjoyed to see his gladiator. No, his slave, defeat Grifeokoles with ease. He had to rub this in his rival Grifonius's face.

"Hmm yes. But now they're free to go, as you have promised them. You'll have no more champions again after the night welcomes us." Grifonius smirked.

"Fuck!" Grifiatus was to busy celebrating his victory and overlooked this fact. He did indeed promise freedom to the gladiators, if they were to defeat Grifeokoles. But Grifiatus could never have dreamed his gladiators would be this powerful. But it does not matter. They are his slaves, he bought them and they will do as he commands. Or at least he hoped.

_________________

Later.

Quintus Grifiatus gathered his gladiators to make them a final offer. He already gave them back their equipment. He thought it to be proper since all their uniforms were red, just as the flags of the majestic gryphon empire.

"Turn thoughts away from freedom. Stand on the sands once again with your new weapons and let eyes set upon all of you brutally slaughtering every gladiator to challenge us on the glorious sands of the arena!" Grifiatus was sure they'd go with it. Who could resist all the glory and coin that there was to be earned.

"Well listen here pardner... Ya know that ain't the deal. If we fought them stupid battles, you'd release us. We're on a damn schedule here and we ain't got much time left." One person said clearly annoyed.

"Ahem, Dell. Allow moi and ze lunatic to do ze negotiating." Another one said. "You've seen where it brought us ze first time if you try."

"Mmmphh!" The 'lunatic' mumbled.

"Fine... But make it quick."

"Excellent! Come then. Let us negotiate under the fine taste of Grifua's own wine." Grifuatus gestured the two humans to follow him in to his office.

The rest of the group that remained proceeded to eavesdrop. They wondered what they could be 'negotiating' about.

They could faintly hear what was going on.

"Ah yes. And that is when... Wait what are you doing?" Grifiatus sounded worried.

"Stay still!"

"Mmmmpphh!!!"

"Ah. You got blood on my suit!" *Thump*

"Help! What are you- AAAAAH!" Screams of terror could be heard from Quintus Grifiatus's voice.

"MMMMMPPHHHHH!!!"

*Bonk* *Crash* *Star Wars laser sound*

A minute later the door opened once again.

"Gentlemen. Is anyone in ze mood for roasted chicken?" The person said as he casually lighted up a cigarette.

_____________

Back to the main story. Heavy, Pinkie Pie and Applejack versus General RAAM.

General RAAM was a one of the top ranked locusts. Also one of the most powerful in their enormous army. Armed with a giant troika turret and dagger that could be called a greatsword to some.

Always loyal to their master were the Kryll. Dark bat-like creatures that could only live in the darkness. As a swarm they protected their master from incoming projectiles.

The darkness of the night was earlier then expected since Celestia had her own battle to worry about. Just more an advantage to Discord without her realising.

"Ssssserve me..." With a dark evil voice General RAAM commanded his kryll to strike at the two ponies and human.

A small percentage of the swarm went and flew over towards Heavy.

"Get behind me little ponies!" Heavy shouted as he threw himself in front of the two earth ponies.

These kryll were small. But they sure did hurt. Instantly that began gnawing everywhere on his barely armored body. His arm suffered mostly as the diabolical creatures simply bit through his flesh like a school of piranhas would.

Heavy desperatly started waving his arms around, trying to shake off the bat-like annoyances. But in vain. They sticked to his skin as if they were attached with glue, continuing to gnaw untill there's nothing but bones left.

"Heavy! Quick, get over here!" Applejack shouted as she was entering the barn. Next she was pulling out the BLU dispenser.

"Yes glorious idea!" Heavy quickly rushed over to the dispenser to heal the damage that has been done. As he started getting closer to the barn, the light that was shining brightly from within caused the kryll that were assaulting the Russian to burn to nothingness.

"Puny bats are weak to light!" Heavy quickly discovered this fact. With this information he'll easily crush this large white monstrosity." He thought so at least.

His arms got healed by the dispenser. Good, very good. He stretched them one last time and picked up his beloved mini-gun Sasha.

"DIE COWARD!" The Russian yelled while firing a barrage of bullets at the locust general. However none if the bullets fired were able to penetrate through RAAM's shield of krylls.

This annoyed Heavy to beyond normal levels. Sasha was always able to crush any enemy. Even the horseless headless horseman would eventually cower in fear. But this beast of a locust just kept walking as if nothing was going on.

"Dieeee groundwalker..." RAAM's terrifying voice even made the Russian tremble for a split second. But there was no time for this emotion called fear. Heavy had to stand his ground to defend these ponies. As long they were in the light, those bat-things wouldn't be able to harm them. Good.

"Ponies stay in l-" Heavy was interupted as he started hearing the metal dangle of the oversized troika machine gun carried by General RAAM. It was equally as large as Sasha. But the sound it produced was far louder.

Now the locust General started spraying bullets at his targets. Nothing was spared as he shot the BLU dispenser to bits and fired multiple rounds in to the barn. Causing it to collapse slightly.

"Aw shucks! We're in a lot of trouble now." Applejack said.

"Eeyup." A deep voice suddenly stated.

"Big Mac? What the h- What are ya doing here? Get yer big butt moving and get Granny Smith and Applebloom the hay outta here!"

He went silent for a moment.

"Eeyup." And then Big Mac dissapeared. He knew he wouldn't be able to talk his sister out of fighting with that scary thing. She's way to stubborn.

"Okaaay... So what do we do now?" Pinkie Pie asked. It's obviously no time for games now. Is it? No... No.

"We must crush evil bat-man. Ponies! Use magic to shoot him!" Heavy ordered the ponies.

"Uhh... We're earth ponies Heavy... We can't use magic." Applejack said.

"IS ALL NONSENSE! MAGIC IS REAL! Little ponies just need to believe!" Heavy shouted.

"Uhh... It doesn't work that way sugarcube." Applejack stated once again.

"Bah! Ridiculous. Ponies must believe, only then magic will happen!" Heavy proceeded to pick up the orange earth pony.

"What the hay? Put me down right now big guy!" Applejack said annoyed as the Russian was aiming her as a gun at the locust General.

"Pow! Pow! Focus harder pony!" Heavy shouted.

"Pew pew!" Pinkie Pie started imitating the Russian.

"Ughh. Pinkie Pie... Don't encourage him." Applejack sighed.

Believe it or not. General RAAM. One of the highest ranked locust. Was actually facepalming, even in his corrupted state.

But time for ridiculousness was over. The locust General had his troika turret ready to fire once again. He pointed it towards the group. "Dieee!" He shouted.

"Now you lemme go right now!" Applejack proceeded to buck Heavy right against his big nose.

Of course it started bleeding again and caused him to lose grip of the orange earth pony.

"Ouch! Why do little ponies always kick Heavy?!" The Russian wondered.

But Applejack had no time to explain. They had to take action before this ugly guy would destroy all of Sweet Apple Acres.

"Pinkie Pie! Ya distract him while ah go an' take that weapon of his!" Applejack ordered her friend. She was of course armed with a lasso once again.

"Yes sir!" Pinkie Pie saluted and got ready.

"Njet!" Heavy stopped them. "We fight together!"

And so the three did. They were currently still safely in the lighted area next to the half-collapsed barn. But they had to get out to get close to that big meanie.

Pinkie Pie was the first to take action. She immediatly sprinted off towards the locust General. She quicky ran past him and waved around her hooves trying to get his attention. "Hey party-pooper! Come and get me!" She teased.

RAAM didn't feel threatened by the pony. But decided to kill her anyway. "Sssseerve me..." Once again he commanded a large part of his kryll army to do his bidding. He directed them towards the pink pony who then of course immediatly started sprinting off again.

While General RAAM was still focussed on Pinkie Pie, Applejack was the next to take action. She quickly threw her trusty lasso towards the giant troika gun the Locust General was still holding. It hit. But it was to heavy for her to disarm him.

Now it was Heavy's turn. He jumped in front of Applejack while dropping Sasha and then rushed over to the Locust General. RAAM tried to take cover but in vain. The Russian stomped right through his defense of krylls that were left. Severely hurting his own arm in the process. As his punch collided with RAAM's face he was sent flying. Well for a few meters. But more importantly he dropped his weapon.

Applejack quickly dragged it away. "Good job guys!"

"Da! We crush puny bat-man!" Heavy said.

"Did we get him!" Pinkie Pie popped out of nowhere.

"Nah. But at least we got that darn contraption of his." Applejack answered.

But RAAM was not amused. And not tolerating this crap. He stood up tall once again, barely hurt by the Russians punch. "Grrr...." He was just staring angrily at the three. But one in particular.

"You... Dieeee!" He said pointing at Applejack. Clearly the Locust General loved his gun just as much as the Russian loved Sasha. And was not willing to forgive Applejack for taking it away from him.

But do not fear. General RAAM had another weapon he always carried with him. A large dagger. Very large. You know what? It's a sword. There. A fucking sword. The very same sword that already took the life of Lieutenant Minh Young Kim.

The locust General rushed over to the RED Heavy and attempted to slice him. Hopefully slowing him down while RAAM will destroys those ponies. But the Russian was able to dogde his slow slash. However not the devastating kick that followed, now launching Heavy through the air.

The bats started dispersing as General RAAM got closer to the lightened area. But he didn't care. None could stop him. he was the strongest locust on Sera, that's what he believed.

With blade drawn he now stood before the two small ponies. But they didn't look terrified. Why? He's going to destroy them, even if he wasn't corrupted.

What's this? They're laughing? They're giggling like little school girls for gods sake. General RAAM had never been this annoyed before. Their death will be painful, that he promised.

"Ya might wanna look behind ya pardner." Applejack said while laughing.

"Hmmrrghh?" General RAAM did just so and saw an enraged RED Heavy charging towards him. Hatred and anger fuelling his strength to keep fighting.

Heavy had meanwhile retrieved his mini-gun after the locust General kicked him away. Heavy also wasn't bothered by the kick that was delivered to him. But mad he was. No one pushes Heavy aside. NO ONE!

In his charge at full speed he smashed Sasha against General RAAM's face. Causing him to drop to his knees.

"Ponies not look now. This not going to be pretty." Heavy felt like he needed to state that.

But the ponies knew what was coming and turned around. They knew it was neccesary, but it was still awful to see.

Heavy then placed the barrel of his mini-gun against General RAAM's chest. The locust General just growled a final time.

"Say good night baby man." Heavy said as he chuckled. He then proceeded to pump the locust full of lead. He kept firing for a good ten seconds. RAAM was silent.

It was over.

"Yes! Once again glorious victory for Heavy and ponies! "

"Yay!" Pinkie Pie chirped excited.

"Yee-haw!" Applejack threw her hat in the air.

But behind them. General RAAM covered in bullet holes somehow managed to survive all of this. Bloody was leaking from all over his body. But he had only one goal.

"Vengeance!" He roared one last time as he threw his blade towards Heavy.

Heavy had no time to react and the sword that was thrown got stuck directly in his arm. The Russian didn't scream in pain as normal people would do. But it definitely hurts. In fact, he couldn't move his left arm anymore.

But that didn't stop him from really finishing up the locust General. Heavy charged over once again and threw him to the ground.

"NOW SAY GOOD NIGHT!" He shouted angrily as he used the full force of his legs to crush General Raam's entire head beneath his feet.

Victory!

Everfree Forest. Ulfgar, Twilight Sparke and Rainbow Dash versus Skorge.

Skorge stould before the three. It was attempting to speak words but the words spoken were incomprehensible for the human and ponies. It was a terrifying being to say the least. Armed with a staff that holds chainsaws on both ends he would be able to cut even through the COG soldier's heaviests of tanks.

Skorge is the High Priest of the Kantus. Yes, locusts have a religion. They worship worms. That's all you need to know.

But Kantus monks were also outstanding warriors. Armed with ink grenades, gorgon pistols and athletic skills they'd crush all the COG's in their path.

And Skorge was at the top of all this. He was even right hand of the queen herself before his death. Truly a terrifying warrior. Responsible for the death of many fine COG soldiers including Tai Kaliso.

"What the hay even is that thing?!" Rainbow Dash was clearly disgusted by its appearance.

"More of Discord's lackeys." Ulfgar replied. "See the red eyes?" He was meanwhile still clashing blades with the creature. But managed to overpower him and push him away. Skorge once again leaped to the sky and started rapidly running behind the trees.

"Those are his eyes? Ewww!" It was just a dirty scary looking tentacle monster to Twilight Sparkle.

But the beast did not pause. Skorge leaped from tree to tree throwing more Ink grenades at the group.

"Watch out!" Ulfgar shouted as he jumped to the side. Rainbow Dash took of the the skies once again, avoiding all the things Skorge would throw at them. Twilight Sparkle teleported herself away just in time. She teleported to a remote place and dug in to a book for some reason.

"Twilight! What are you doing? It's not the time to be an egghead right now." Rainbow Dash complained.

"Hush Rainbow! I might know a way to help us defeat that monster." Twilight said annoyed.

"What? Reading a book isn't going to save us from that... thing."

"I'm sure it will. Trust me on this."

"Ughh... I'm going to help Ulfgar. The way we're supposed to." Rainbow Dash left her friend and started heading back to the fight.

"Be careful Rainbow Dash!" Twilight Sparkle made sure to shout this. She quickly began searching for a certain chapter in the mysterious book she was holding.

Ulfgar meanwhile lured out the kantus High priest out of his cover and clashed blades with him once again. Both were equally skilled with their weapons. But Skorge had two advantages. One. His staff could attack from two different places. Two. The dovakhiin was already hurt.

But Ulfgar also had one advantage. The Thu'um. Ulfgar started chuckling maniacally when he realised this.

"FUS RO DAH!" The trademark shout once again. Skorge got launched in the air since he wasn't that large of a guy. Well he was, but pretty skinny at least. Surely this will finish him off.

Nope. Skorge soared through the air skillfully backflipping and landing perfectly on his feet on top of a tree. This was one was skilled warrior. Fierce and dangerous. Just as Ulfgar likes his battles.

Skorge leaped at the dovakhiin once again but his assault was blocked by Ulfgar's greatsword. He overpowered the creature once again and managed to slightly cut him in the legs.

That's just one hit. Ulfgar prepared for many more to come. He started summoning lighting with his free hand and launched it directly at the kantus High Priest.

It clearly affected the creature as it started to shriek in pain. But not for long, he threw an ink grenade directly at the dragonborn, causing him to stop his assault.

Skorged leaped back in the air. But just as he did so Rainbow Dash flew above him and managed to buck him straight back to the ground. He fell next to the dovakhiin's feet.

"Say your prayers, warrior from another world. And prepare to meet your ancestors." Ulfgar stated as he drew his blade closer to the kantus High Priest's throat.

But Skorge never gives up. He never surrenders. He would fight to the death and even then he'll haunt you.

Skorge grabbed the dovakhiin's blade with his bare hands. He held the blade strongly enough to cause his hands to bleed. But he managed to pull the greatsword away from the dragonborn.

Now the tables were turned as Skorge attempted to slice Ulfgar with both his chainsaws up and running.

The dovakhiin barely had time to react. But years of combat trained him to be best he could possibly be. In a split second he managed to shout another Thu'um.

"TIID KLO ULL!" He shouted the words for Time Sand Eternity once again. Almost stopping time all together. But even now Skorge was moving fast beyond normal. A fatal mistake made by the dovakhiin. He should've used his Disarm or perhaps his Ice form shout.

Now he will pay the price.

Skorge managed to cut the dovakhiin right in his stomach. Where his other wound immediatly re-opened on impact. The pain was unbearable. Even for Ulfgar the fearless. He started coughing up blood and fell to his knees, slowly losing consciousness.

"Ulfgar! No!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "Twilight! We need to help them right now!" She then proceeded to rush at Skorge once again before he could deliver the finishing strike on Ulfgar.

She managed to buck Skorge right on his head once again while he was distracted. This obviously annoyed the hell out of the kantus High Priest and also decided to change target. This guy isn't going anywhere, anytime soon.

"Ready!" Twilight Sparkle suddenly shouted.

"Wait, what?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Then Twilight Sparkle suddenly released a spark from her magical horn. A magical beam was created as her eyes started glowing up as well. The entire area started getting surrounded by a blinding light. Skorge saw this coming and immediatly lept to higher grounds.

Then everything went silent and dark once again.

"What did you do?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I summoned for help. The same way Discord did." Twilight said proud.

"What? Then who did you bring?" Rainbow Dash asked curiously.

"I don't know. But the Everfree Forest is the only place I can do this. There is something about this place. And it's also temporary."

"So you brought somepony you don't even now?"

"Well. What else was I supposed to do? I can't sword fight with that octopus man."

All of a sudden the ground started trembling. A giant dark hole emerged from the place where Twilight Sparkle launched her beam of magic. All of a sudden a presence of darkness could be felt all throughout Equestia. It even managed to catch Discord's attention who was busy in his own battle attempting to take over Canterlot.

A giant hand... No. Something much darker emerged from the black hole. Another bunch of smaller beings also started crawling from deep within the depths.

It were skeletons. Actual humanoid skeletons. Moving on their own. All armed with different kinds of weapons.

Then the larger being pulled himself up from the black hole. It was completely surrounded by darkness and the parts of him that were visible only revealed more bones. Where ever this creature set foot, everything around it started perishing. Flowers withered by his presence. Grass was reduced to dark ashes. And even trees were reduced to nothingness.

"Twilight... Are you sure this was a good idea?" Rainbow Dash asked worried.

"I-I don't know..." Twilight Sparkle was clearly frightened by this creature she summoned herself.

The largest being pointed his minions towards the unconscious dovakhiin. Ordering them to drag him with them to the depths of the gravelord.

The skeletal warriors did as ordered and ventured towards the dragonborn. But they were stopped half-way.

By Skorge of all people.

The dovakhiin was his prey. And no one else's. He was determined to finish what he started himself. Not allow these skeleton freaks to do as they please.

He started bashing his chainsaw staff against the minions and started dropping like flies. As he finished the minions off, he turned towards their leader. Who didn't even bother to look at the kantus High Priest.

Skorge just roared annoyed at the creature. But shortly after was interupted. A blade suddenly penetrated his chest. A dark red blade which magically emerged from within the ground.

Skorge fell to his knees and saw to his horror that the skeletons he just defeated were forming back. Even if he had completely crushed their bones. They still managed to recreate themselves.

So these are truly undead.

Skorge was stabbed in the face by one of the skeletons. Other were either stabbing or clubbing him from the sides. It didn't take long for Skorge to meet his end as well.

The kantus High Priest. Dead once again.

The largest being slowly approached the Kantus and absorbed it in the darkness surrounding him. The black hole that was created started closing so it was time to go. But one more thing.

It pointed its skeletal finger towards Twilight Sparkle, without even looking at her.

A terrifying voice could then be heard. Not from the creature itself, but from all their surroundings.

"You... are... next..." These words kept echoing throughout the entire forest. The creature and its skeletal minions then dissapeared in the darkness once again. Bringing only Skorge with them.

As the dark hole closed. A bright orange glowing piece of text seemed to appear in the ground.

"What did it mean I'm next?" Twilight Sparkle said worried.

"Relax. It didn't say your name. It could mean anypony." Rainbow Dash said. Glad of the fact this fight is over.

"He or it clearly pointed at me! You saw that, didn't you?"

"Nah, I'm sure he was just pointing randomly." Rainbow Dash knew it did point at her, but she tried to comfort her friend who was worried for all the right reasons.

"Anyway. What's that thing?" Rainbow Dash wondered and she started flying down.

"Rainbow! Don't touch that. What if it comes back."

"Please. I'm sure it's just a harmless thing."

Twilight then teleported after her friend. Next to the strange orange glowing text on the ground.

"What does it say?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I don't know. I've never seen these symbols before." Twilight Sparkle answered. "It does seem to have a presence of magic."

"Maybe if we..." Rainbow Dash tapped her hoof on the strange symbols.

Then suddenly a brightly orange glow started emerging from it.

"RAINBOW! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

"I DON'T KNOW?!"

"It's coming back! RUN!"

Rainbow Dash quickly took cover behind a tree. Twilight Sparkle quickly went to get Ulfgar and levitated him to safer place before hiding herself.

Then suddenly a creature appeared from within the light. It was strange looking, and completely covered in an orange glow. It was clearly human. It resembled Ulfgar and Carmine in some ways. He had strange looking armor on, and wielded a sword. Though not nearly as large as Ulfgar's.

"Hello? Heeello?" The human started wandering around in confusion. His voice slightly muffled because of the helmet he was wearing.

"What do you think he wants?" Rainbow Dash whispered.

"I don't know. But he doesn't look as scary as that last thing." Twilight answered.

"So what do we do?"

"Oh. I think we sho-"

"Ah noble maidens. It seems I have found my summoner. Tell me, what is it you require?" The orange glowing human suddenly stood besides the two ponies.

"Ah! Run!" Twilight and Rainbow were panicking and started running around in circles.

"Oh my. Excuse me. Is it my appearance? I sincerely apologize. I get this reaction all the time."

"Aaaaa- Wait? You aren't going to hurt us?" Twilight asked the human.

"Goodness no! Why would you think such a thing of me?"

"Then who are you?" Rainbow Dash joined in.

"Ah. I am but a servant of the sun. And now, you have summoned me. To the land of the sun. So here I am, but only to serve in the time given."

"What do you mean land of the sun?" Twilight asked.

"Hmm... Maybe it would be better for me to shut my mouth. Forgive me Ms. Sparkle."

"Wait... How do you know my name?"

"Oh yes. That. Uhh... Pfft, I guess there is no point in hiding it now."

"Hiding what?"

"You see young maiden. This world has been connected to my realm longer then you might think. Just as there is another world linked to Lordran. Our fates are always intertwined. That is why we've invented the summoning system. For jolly co-operation!"

"That still doesn't explain why you know my name."

"Ah yes. You see, I'm on my very own quest to find my own personal sun. Since our worlds are connected I figured there's also the possibilty that it might reside here. I am determined to finish this quest, therefore I might've done some research on multiple things in your world."

"In other words. You were spying on us?"

"Roughly put. Yes."

"So did you find what you were looking for?"

"Ah. Not yet. My story has yet to come. Duties in Lordran call extremely often. It's a dangerous world and other heroes often need a little help in defeating their foes. Untill I am free of that requirement, I will not be able to truly pursue my own sun."

"Are you capable of healing magic? Our friend is badly hurt and needs medical attention right away." Twilight asked worried for Ulfgar.

"Hmm. There is not much I can do in the ways of faith while I'm just here as a spirit. But give this to him." The human gave the ponies a orange colored potion.

"What's this?"

"An estus flask. Favorited by undeads."

"What do you mean undead? He's not dead? Is he?"

"Ah. You are mistaken. The moment your friend was brought in to this world he became a hollow. Trust me on this one."

"Okay..." Twilight still hesitantly decided to accept the strange potion.

"So we had a creepy monster that Twilight here 'accidently' summoned to our world. It was pretty scary. And that's saying a lot coming from me! Can we do anything to prevent that from happening again?" Rainbow Dash said.

"Ah yes. That would be very simple actually."

"How?" Twilight wondered.

"As long the gatekeeper stays loyal to his duty. There won't be anything able to invade your world unless placing summoning sigils. As you just did. A very unwise decision young lady! Hah. Hah. Hah!"

"Okay... That does sound simple. By the way, what's your name? I feel awkard not being able to call you something."

"My name? Oh great joy! I am called Solaire. Solaire of Astora." Solaire then proceeded to 'praise the sun'.

"Okay... I'm Twilight Sparkle and this is Rainbow Dash. I'm sure you already knew that though. Anyway. You mentioned a gatekeeper. Who is this gatekeeper?"

"Ah. That would be someone you know very well. In your world he is call-" *POOF* Solaire suddenly vanished. His time was up appareantly. The summoning sigil slowly dissapeared from the ground.

"What?! He was just about to answer!" Twilight was shocked.

"Well. Get him back!"

"You're right. I should jus-" Twilight then remembered what Solaire said. Those diabolical creatures were only able to enter if she opened the gates for them by creating a portal as she did earlier. She can't risk doing that again. They'll have to find out who this 'gatekeeper' is themselves.

"We can't risk it Rainbow. What if that other thing comes back again? We've got more then enough problems on our hooves right now."

"Yeah starting with that one." Rainbow pointed at the hurt dovakhiin, who was still bleeding out this entire time by the lacerating caused by Skorge's chainsaw.

"Oh no. Oh no. Oh no! This is bad, we have to do something." Twilight said worried.

"What about the thing that weirdo just gave you?" Rainbow Dash mentioned.

"... I guess so since we don't have any other options. I'm sorry if this hurts Ulfgar! But we don't have any other options. She leviated the flask above the dovakhiin's mouth. Who slowly started drinking the strange orange liquid.

Pretty good actually. Ulfgar felt himself powering back up. Pain was rapidly leaving his body. The huge cuts that have been made were completely vanished. But the dovakhiin's ego was broken. He lost. Ulfgar the fearless. Lost.

He proceeded to sulk next to a tree. Not even facing the ponies or questioning what happened. He had to live with this shame on his own.

"Ulfgar... Stop doing nothing. If you're healed get ready to search for the others. I can feel another humans presence extremely close." Twilight said.

The three started heading out. Tracking whatever they were able. Rainbow Dash took the skies of course.

But it didn't take long for them to get alarmed as they suddenly heard an explosion just a few hundred meters away.

When they arrived the dovakhiin almost fell to his knees. The ponies were equally shocked by what they were witnessing.

"No... N-not him." Ulfgar was enraged, saddened and speechless at the same time.

This has to end. Now Discord has crossed the line. This was unforgivable.

____________________

Canterlot. Celestia, Luna, Sniper and Derpy and the royal guards versus Discord, Chrysalis, Changelings and a Brumak.

Dark Spear and Shining Armor among them of course. They were both completely recovered from the wedding's events. Shining Armor even gave up his honeymoon to protect Canterlot. Even as the behemothian creature launching rockets approached them with his arch enemy riding on its back.

The first rockets the brumak fired now collided with some unsuspecting buildings. Demolishing them even faster then the lambent berserker was just a week ago.

"Oh yes! BOOM! Haha! Don't you think it's beatiful Chrysalis?" Discord was laughing.

"Hmmph... I'd rather like it if we went to chase the humans rather then assaulting this bunch again. Vengeance will be mine!" Chrysalis said.

"Yes. Yes. But all have to play their part. By the way... Did you remind to instruct your changelings to follow my orders?"

"Yes of course. Why do you ask?"

"Oh... No partical reason. Hehehe." Discord was rubbing his claws evilly.

The brumak was now right inside the town. Rampaging and stomping everything it was able. And of course deploying more missiles to destroy random buildings whenever it was able.

Some guards that stood vigilant to defend their town were simply crushed as the behemoth passed them. There was nothing they could do to stop a creature this size.

Maybe one.

"Sniper! Is there anything you can do?" Luna asked the Australian.

"Crikey Sheila! I can't do anything to a monster this size. Maybe give it an itch, seriously what the hell is that thing even!"

"Then I guess it's just us sister." Luna said to Celestia.

"Oi. I can't take out that big thing. But I can take out that bloody goat-guy." Sniper said.

"Then do what you must. I will not see any more ponies hurt by this monstrosity! Celestia stated and was pretty angry looking.

Sniper prepared to take off. Find a good place to snipe where that big monster wouldn't blow his brains out.

"Wait! I'm coming with you!" Derpy said following the BLU mercenary.

"Crikey. Just don't blow me cover again." Sniper said to the pegasus.

Now Luna and Celestia stood on their own. Against the giant brumak that was completely annihilating their capital. But if they wouldn't stop it, who will? Discord had planned this perfectly. But there is still hope. There's always hope as long you're willing to believe in it.

Celestia and Luna rose up to the skies with their large majestic wings and started swarming the giant beast.

"Discord! Why are you doing this!" Celestia shouted.

"This is rightful vengeance Celestia! For locking me up twice and continously proving yourself to be an unworthy ruler!" Discord yelled raising his claw in the air. "You know nothing of this world!"

"Nor do you care for anything in it." Celestia shot a flaming orb towards Discord. However the giant brumak managed to provide cover to its master by using its own body to catch the magic.

It barely affected the brumak. But it did make it more pissed off. It launched more rockets now heading straight towards the the Canterlot outlook. Discord wanted everything destroyed, apart from the castle. That would be his afterwards.

It didn't take long for the rockets to impact this time as they were rather close. The watchtower completely blew up. Thank goodness Sniper and Derpy already left. But there were still more guards inside. And each life taken by Discord hurts Celestia's heart.

Discord. He's gone insane. He went from ruling in chaos to ruling in fear and death. What must've caused him to act like this? Why was he set out so much on vengeance? And why did he kept calling her an unfit ruler? Celestia didn't know. But she knew one thing. He had to be stopped, no matter what.

And there was only one way. Use the power of the sun. Night had come early since Celestia thought it would work to their advantage. But she couldn't be more wrong. She'd have to use a lot of magic in order to raise the sun once again.

But with its power maybe. Just maybe. She could put a stop this this madness.

"Ah Chrysalis my dear. Would you mind trading seats with me? This wretched beast smells on this side." Discord asked casually.

"Why have you been acting so suspicious all day? You're not scheming anything are you?" Chrysalis asked worrisome.

"Oh. Hehehe. You know me. I would never do such a thing." Discord chuckled once again.

"Al...right. Let's change seats." And so they did. Nothing could go wrong from just this. Right?

"Crikey! That bloody bastard switched seats. I can't get a clear shot." Sniper complained. But as he was peeking through his scope he noticed something strange.

The darkness of the night. It was dissapearing. Sniper could see princess Celestia risen up high up in the sky. With magical sources surrounding her she appeared to be... pulling the entire sun up by herself.

"That is bloody impressive." Sniper said.

Princess Celestia felt her powers weaken for using such a difficult spell so soon again. But she also felt empowered as the sun was shining on them once again. The source of all her power.

"Sister? Are you going to?" Luna asked.

"Yes Luna. This insanity has to be stopped. I would so wish I never had to use this again."

Luna had never witnessed Celestia's true power. She told that it was neccesary only once in the past. Before Luna's time.

Princess Luna recalled the nightmares her sister had ages ago. In her sleep she kept shouting about a certain 'Lord of Cinder'.

But no time to worry about the past. Let us turn eyes to the present and the future to come.

"What's this?" Something that Discord didn't plan for. That's what.

Celestia eyes started shining brighter then ever before. And so did her horn. A small beam appeared which rapidly got bigger by the seconds.

Then it fired. Blinding everyone around her. The giant brumak was screaming in pain for the intense heat it was suffering from. Discord quickly teleported himself away. Chrysalis immediatly followed him, both abandoning the draconequus's minion.

As the bright flash of light dissapeared the BLU Sniper was amazed to see what happened. There was nothing left of the brumak. Absolutely nothing. Not even a slice of flesh. It was completely incinerated to nothingness by Celestia's attack.

"Sister... That was..." Luna had no idea what to say. In a way she was excited. But in another way she was terrified of how much power her sister possessed.

"Do not speak of this ever again. Now there's just Discord and the changeling queen left. Let's go." Both princesses then left in search of Discord once again.

But Sniper already had Discord targetted. The Machina was fully charged. Get ready for a headshot.

"What was that?!" Chrysalis said shocked after witnessing Celestia's power of the sun. The impact of the beam even managed to knock her away.

"Just a minor inconvenience. Don't fret about it. She isn't able to pull of another trick like that for days." Discord said while helping the changeling queen up.

"Just be ready." Discord chuckled.

"For what?" Chrysalis asked confused.

*BOOM*

The moment the BLU Sniper fired his rifle Discord teleported himself away. Leaving the bullet to penetrate the queen of the changelings.

Discord started laughing insanely. "Yes YES! Perfect haha!"

Chrysalis was in pain and nearly losing consciousness. "D-discord... Help..." She said softly.

"Oh no... Your part is played. Who will the changelings follow without their precious queen? Hmm I wonder? Hehe." Discord continued chuckling.

"B-b... Why?"

Discord didn't bother to answer. Her role was played and now the changelings are his to command. He proceeded to kick the changeling queen multiple times. Eventually she reached the edge of the building.

Discord pushed her off. Not even looking back on this. He then proceeded to teleport himself away once again.

"Crikey. I missed the goat. But I hit the other bad guy." Sniper said to Derpy.

"U-uhh... Sniper... You might want to..." Derpy said with a disturbed tone.

"Bloody hell Sheila. What's the problem?" Sniper barked.

Derpy just pointed behind him.

"Oh hello." Discord said giggling.

Sniper left no time unfinished and immediatly leaped at the draconequus with his Kukri drawn. Discord however just kept teleporting himself further each strike.

"Yes... You've played your part excellent. I couldn't have asked for a better performance. If anything, I should thank you!" Discord said.

"Ya can thank my boot when it's up your ass bloody wanker!" Sniper said annoyed.

"Hmm. No need to be rude. But your part in this story has come to an ending."

Discord snapped his fingers at which that moment the BLU Sniper started bursting in to flames. He rolled around on the ground desperatly trying to extinguish himself.

"You are not part of the finale. Failure." Discord teleported off once again leaving the Sniper to burn to death.

Sniper took this chance and used his Jarate to properly extinguish himself. But in vain. He was burned far to much for it to just heal. This was going to be the ending of the BLU Sniper.

"Sniper no!" Derpy bursted out in to tears.

"Oi... Sheila. Don't cry..."

"B-but y-you are g-go-" She was interupted.

"I never die." Sniper said full of courage.

"H-hold this Sheila." Sniper presented his the Machina to Derpy. "Promise ya k-keep it close... C-cause I'll be wantin' it back." Sniper gave a gentle smile to the sad pegasus.

He then grabbed his Kukri and slit his own throat. Killing himself before he could suffer any further.

BLU Sniper. Dead.

"N-Nooo..." Derpy was even more shocked after witnessing this with her own eyes. She could not hold her tears any further.

Meanwhile at Celestia and Luna.

"Sister! Did you hear that?" Luna said.

"Yes... I fear there's more trouble happening." Celestia replied.

"Oh you two don't need to worry about a thing! However I'd like you to leave my city right now." Discord said taunting the princesses

"Your city?!" Celestia was enraged. "This is OUR capital. And you should be the one leaving."

"Oh yes? And who are you going to bring hmm? The elements of harmony? The humans? They're all useless."

"I don't see you with an army as well Discord. Right now you're outnumbered two to one." Luna stated.

"Oh but I beg to differ." Discord snapped his fingers as suddenly multiple changelings flew in. They were all busy fighting the royal guards so have not taken notice of the absence of their queen. In this situation they could only serve one person. That would be Discord.

The changelings crashed down all at once. They took the forms of various locust grubs, Heavy once again and some were actually shapeshifted in to Draugr. They didn't have weapons. But they did have a lot more physical strength then usual.

"Do you still want to fight hmm? I'm giving you this one opportunity to leave. I'm still soooo excited for the grand finale! It wouldn't be the same without you there." Discord chuckled.

Celestia hesitated. But it was clear. Discord was more powerful then she or Luna currently was. She should take this chance to leave. Regroup and properly set up a plan against the lord of chaos

Canterlot was lost. This hurt the princess more then you can imagine. For centuries it has been her home.

With a tear in her eye she left. Not saying another word to Discord. Luna followed her sister. Also troubled by their loss.

"Yes good... I'll be awaiting you all in the finale." Discord left with his army of changelings. To the palace he felt that rightfully belonged to him.

As both princesses were about to leave the city Luna's eyes caught something's attention.

Chrysalis was lying on the ground. Not moving. Covered in blood she just laid there lifeless.

Luna went to investigate. She held hear ear close to her chest. She could hear a heartbeat. "She's still alive sister!"

This pleased Celestia. They might not have Discord. But they have somepony that was able to provide more information about him. Celestia doesn't know what happened to her. But she was certain that the changeling queen would prove to be a valueble prisoner.

"P-p-princess!" Derpy hooves suddenly rushed over as soon she spotted the two princesses.

"Ms. Hooves my child. What is troubling you?" Celestia asked as she saw the worried look on the pegasus's face.

"S-s-s-s-s-" Derpy kept stuttering with tears in her eyes and snot coming out her nose.

"Please calm down my little pony. Please explain to me what has happened?" Celestia tried to help her calm down a little.

"S-Sniper's... Dead." Derpy said.

This fact shocked both the princesses.

"What?!"

_______________________

Somewhere else in the Everfree Forest. Carmine, Rarity, Fluttershy versus Theron guard squad and special guest. Much earlier.

Carmine and the ponies took off as soon as the sniper started firing at them. After that a group of theron guards armed with both lancers and torque bows.

Fluttershy and Rarity were nice ponies. But they weren't soldiers. Carmine didn't feel like complaining but he really wished he had Applejack and Rainbow Dash instead. Or maybe Twilight Sparkle with her laser beams.

But no. This is what he was given, and this is what he had to deal with. He had to guarantee their safety. It's just a group of Therons and a crappy sniper. No problem.

Or so he thought. Little did Clayton Carmine know that he was about the face the toughest challenge of them all. One that many soldiers won't even consider taking. Perhaps that would be best for Carmine as well.

But no. Carmine was determined to secure safety for the ponies and get them back to the town.

As the three were running for their lives Carmine signalled the ponies to stop and hide behind a tree. They didn't think that was the best idea. But they really couldn't argue in this situation.

The Therons got closer... At least one of them. Carmine signalled the ponies to stay quiet no matter how terrified they were.

Carmine awaited the approaching locust from behind a tree. As he passed the COG soldier jumped on its back and started strangling the creature. With Carmine's power it didn't take long for it to choke to death. He then proceeded to break his neck to be certain it's death. Don't want one sneaking up on you later. Locusts are tough bastards.

He noticed the ponies terrified looks. How could he blame them? This was normal life to Carmine. But in this wonderful world the ponies aren't involved with things such as murder and death very often.

But they had to get over themselves. This is the only way. The only way to lead is to set an example to others. Hopefully they'd follow.

Most likely not. But still. Carmine prepared to loot the enemy he just massacred.

"Hey! I found a torque bow!" Carmine shouted excitedly.

Maybe not such a bright idea since now the other therons spotted him and started rushing towards him.

"Geaaarsssss....." They shouted with a creepy voice.

Carmine didn't even bother to wait and immediatly aimed his newly aquired bow at the group.

He aimed. Aimed some more. And he shot!

A direct hit. The arrow got stuck in one of the theron sentinels.

*BEEP*BEEP*

Also torque bow arrows explode shortly after impact.

*BOOM*

The one that got hit directly was literally blown to pieces. another one that was near had his leg blasted off, thus he fell to the ground.

"Ha! Double kill. Assholes!" Carmine shouted victorious.

*BOOM*

The sniper then suddenly shot a bullet directly at the COG soldiers head. Thank god he wears a helmet. The bullet just deflected off.

"Ughh... This fucking sniper is pissing me off." Carmine wasn't that far away judging from the sound.

Carmine decided to take action and take out this sniper before he could do that to any of them. He gestured the ponies to stay quiet and stick behind cover. Carmine distracted the group of remaining therons as they began running after him. Wildy firing bullets and arrow bolts in random directions.

The ponies didn't know any better and decided to follow Carmine. Even if they're safe from those locusts. They're still in the Everfree Forest. There's more dangers lurking within these forests.

Carmine had meanwhile reached proper cover behind some rocks. He used his lancer to fire at the three therons that remained. He was able to mow one down as he rushed towards the COG soldier. Another one immediatly followed so Carmine activated his lancer. Sawing the locust in half.

Then Carmine was greeted by another bullet from the unfriendly sniper. This time the bullet grazed the skin of his arms. That was close. It's a terrible sniper, that's for sure.

But Carmine used this opportunity to locate the devil himself. There! Behind those rocks uphill. "You better get ready for a beating damn hippie!" Carmine shouted.

But he was not prepared for this.

"S-squirt?" Carmine said confused as he looked at his youngest brother completely dressed in his COG armor stand before him, armed with the sniper rifle that's been shooting him. His eyes... They were red.

"I got your back sarge!" Benjamin said.

"What... What are you talking about." Clayton wondered. His brother was talking nonsense.

But he aimed his sniper rifle at Clayton.

"Hey squirt... Snap out of it man."

"Shut up fucking monkey-dog!" Benjamin shouted. Still aiming the rifle at him.

Then Clayton was suddenly punched from behind against the head by another man.

"YOU FUCKING ASSH-" Carmine stopped as he saw the perpetrator. "Anthony?" Now his other brother was here as well. Once again, red eyes and he just attacked Clayton. This wasn't good.

"Come on bro. What's wrong with you guys? FUCKING SNAP OUT OF IT!" Clayton slammed his fists against the helmet of his brother.

He pushed him all the way downhill. Even now Clayton was still the physically strongest. But these were his brothers, he didn't want to hurt them.

"Shit shit shit fuck fuck fuck..." Carmine then slammed the sniper rifle from his other brother's hands, breaking the barrel.

Then he made a run for it. He did not want to deal with this. He can't. No matter what.

The two chased him. But Clayton was faster.

After a good two-minute sprint he encountered the ponies once again. But they were being pursued by the last remaining theron sentinel.

Carmine wasted no time and slammed the monster to the ground. He started stomping on his head while enraged. Eventually he got tired of it so Carmine proceeded to rip off the locusts arms and started repeatedly hitting him with it.

"GAAAH!" Clayton shouted while throwing the arm against the dead locust's face.

Rarity and Fluttershy never seen Carmine this upset. He was always laid back and even if he got aggresive he never got this enraged. Without any remorse he continued kicking the lifeless body of the theron guard.

"W-what's going on Mr. Carmine." Fluttershy peeped. Still startled by what is going on.

"Yes. Is there any reason for this... ruthless behavior?" Rarity tried to maintain her lady-like status.

"Discord... That fucking goat. He corrupted my brothers!" Carmine yelled annoyed.

"Oh my..." Fluttershy realised Carmine's brother meant everything to him. "But if they're corrupted they're not really your brothers? They're not real." She tried to calm Clayton down.

"Not my brothers? Are you fucking serious. Discord tried the same thing on me. Are you saying I'm not real?"

"No It's just that-"

"No. Just stop it. They're as real as you and me. And they won't stop untill we're dead..."

"Darling. I think you should calm down for a moment and thi-" Rarity was interupted.

"NO YOU CALM DOWN!" Carmine would normally apologize after losing his temper. But he couldn't take it anymore.

Discord. He hated him. More then anything now.

But there was only one thing he could do right now. He heard footsteps nearing him. They were coming.

Carmine could give them the one thing they deserved. A honorable death like a warrior and true soldier on the battlefield.

He didn't want to to this. But there were no other options. He had to make this decision. And he had to do it all alone.

"What are you going to do?" Fluttershy asked.

"What should've been done in the first place..."

Be prepared.

Carmine stepped away from his cover. Revealing himself to his corrupted brothers. They quickly approached him with the intent to kill.

Anthony was first to arrive. As he gotten within melee range of the COG soldier he immediatly stabbed his lancer's chainsaw straight in to his stomach.

"I'm so sorry bro." Carmine said as he activated the device. Shredding Anthony's insides to pieces. Not soon after he fell lifeless to the forest's floor.

R.I.P. Anthony Carmine.

Benjamin was next. He was slighty further but unarmed. His longshot was already crushed by Clayton.

"Aaah!" Benjamin also started charging mindlessly towards the COG soldier.

But once again as he got in melee range Clayton was able to pick him up and throw him over his shoulder against a nearby tree. Before Benjamin was able to stand up Clayton proceeded to step on his hands preventing him from trying anything.

Benjamin just had an empty stare on his face. Even with the helmet Carmine could see nothing left of the brother he once had.

He aimed his gnasher shotgun directly at his brother's face. He fired two rounds which was more then enough.

R.I.P. Benjamin Carmine.

Carmine just kept standing there, eventually falling to his knees. No expression on his face. Nothing could describe the pain he felt. But never has more thoughts of hatred and vengeance entered the COG soldier's mind. He hated Discord for doing this.

But he hated himself more. For what he did could not be forgiven. What would their father say if he knew that Clayton shot his brothers without any second-thought? It was terrible, but it was the truth. It's something he had to live with.

"CARMINE! WATCH OUT!" Rarity suddenly shouted.

Carmine slowly turned his head as he saw one more theron guard missing a leg, armed with a torque bow, aiming it towards him.

That's right. The locust from before. Carmine forgot to finish him off. Slowly he turned his face back to the ground.

He took off his helmet and threw it towards the two ponies.

*THUMP* *CLICK* *BEEP*

The arrow that got shot was stuck in his arm. He gave one final salute.

*BEEP*

Never thought it would end like this.

*BOOM*

This is my punishment.

The arrow exploded blowing of a part of Clayton Carmine's arm and leg.

Carmine didn't even feel the pain anymore. Slowly everything around him started turning black. It didn't take long for him to bleed out.

R.I.P. Clayton Carmine.

The ponies could only watch their friend enter the afterlife before their eyes. They did not know what to do. The locust was still around, did they have to kill it? Luckily they didn't have to do anything.

Ulfgar, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash arrived at the scene shortly after.

"No... N-not him." Ulfgar said shocked and so were the ponies.

The dovakhiin leaped at the remaining theron completely incinerating him to dust with his fire magic filled by the power of his rage.

Ulfgar looked at Rarity and Fluttershy and noticed from reactions they were devastated from what occured.

Ulfgar did the only thing he could think off.

"You won't be forgotten brother." Ulfgar said to Carmine's lifeless body.

He then started digging a grave with his bare hands.

Authors notes; THERE. IT'S WRITTEN. And it can't be unwritten. I'm a sick sick bastard. I know and I feel terrible.

Chapter nineteen. Intentions.

Hours have passed. Ulfgar had burried Carmine on the place where he met his end. He and the ponies carried his helmet as a last memento of their friend.

Death. It's a terrible thing. And not something to be easily forgiven. Ulfgar faced death many times, he had already once lost his 'brother' when the Dark Brotherhood approached him back in Skyrim.

The dovakhiin and Carmine had their differences. But Ulfgar still regarded the COG soldier as a mighty warrior. One more then worthy to stand next to him in battle. So this loss was a mighty punch in the face for the dovakiin. Carmine was a 'friend'. There were a lot of people in Skyrim that admired the dovakhiin, loved him and cheered for his name day in and out. But none of them he could call a friend.

The ponies. Death is obviously not something they faced on a daily basis like Ulfgar did.

Rainbow Dash remembered the first time she saw the COG soldier she thought he was trying to eat Twilight. What a joke. But after giving him a hard buck to the face she eventually realised he was a good person. One that will be missed dearly.

Twilight Sparkle had similair feelings. Carmine had gotten himself in a few strange situations ever since he's gotten to Equestria. But he never complained, he never lost his temper and treated the ponies as his equal even though he's completely different then any of them.

Rarity found Carmine an annoying ruffian who had no regards for other ponies possesions. One that even didn't bother to wipe his feet before entering a home. But she could probably say the same about Applejack. Rarity knew Carmine was a kind person and was able to overlook his flaws. The short time they spent together will not be easily forgotten.

Fluttershy was most devastated of all. Carmine told her once before how much he loved his brothers. The tattoo on his arm proved that. She couldn't imagine how hard it must've been for him to be forced to fight those he loved most. What possibly could've gone through his mind? Did he simply give up? Was he tired of all this? That's what bothered Fluttershy and the others the most.

They were never able to have their parting words. Not even a final goodbye. Just the image of him saluting one last time before exploding was imbedded into Fluttershy's mind. That's all what remained of Clayton Carmine. A memory.

When Discord attempted to take over Equestria before, he did not resort to harming anypony. He just wanted to rule in what he called a world of chaos. But now...

Summoning these terrifying monsters proved that he was out for more. If this was his idea of a 'game', they did not want to know what he had planned for the finale.

Hours passed of the group not even speaking with each other. They all had to mourn in their own way. But a pleasant sight finally appeared. They spotted the river which meant they were getting close to Ponyville.

They just hoped Heavy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie were safe. And preferably nothing happened to the princesses as well.

So it was another welcoming sight when Twilight Sparkle spotted her mentor; Princess Celestia back and well in Ponyville accompanied by Luna. Yet their expressions were showing great sadness. There was one more person missing. More ponies were gathered here at Sugarcube Corner.

"P-princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle called out her mentor.

The princess was devastated. Canterlot had been taken over by Discord and the changelings. Her home. Their home. Many brave royal guards lost their lives trying to protect it, yet in vain. Luckily most of them plus the civilians have been evacuated to the city of Manehattan in time.

And the BLU Sniper had fallen as well. No matter how strong princess Celestia regarded these humans. She found out that they're not immortal. Even the mightiest of warriors can bleed out from the smallest wounds.

But Celestia was overjoyed to see her prize pupil once again. Safe and sound. But their eyes... All of them, they showed great sadness. Even those of Ulfgar the fearless.

"Twilight Sparkle... Tell me what troubles you?" Princess Celestia tried to comfort the purple unicorn. But was rudely interupted.

"Da! Ponies are not like puny baby-men! Little pony helps Heavy crush monsters. Ponies are best!" Heavy just happened to arrive at the scene at this moment. Involved in an interesting conversation with Pinkie Pie.

"Oh stop it you! It was scary enough as i- ...Why is everypony gathered at my house?" Pinkie Pie wondered.

"Great. Now that everypony has gathered I'd like to explain the situation." Princess Celestia stated.

Everypony went silent.

"Today... We have suffered a great defeat. Discord succeeded in where Chrysalis failed and managed to take over Canterlot."

"What?!" The ponies said simultaneously.

Princess Celestia just sighed. "But that's not all. We've lost one of our allies in the battle that took place. Our friend; The BLU Sniper... is dead."

Once again everypony went silent. But there was one bothered by this more then others.

Derpy Hooves. The one that was the last to see the mercenary alive, and then given the weapon that he held dearly afterwards. For what reason she did not know. But to her the Sniper was more then just a friend. She was the first 'adult' pony to find him after all. Sniper was a good person, no matter how cruel he might've seemed. It was just his job. A strange job, but it's what he did best. So keeping this memento of his was the least she could do.

The RED Heavy was bothered but refused to mourn. He knew what this meant. After all, they're immortal in some way. It's just... He just gotten his new hat. None should be seperated from their unusuals, not like this. The Russian promised he'd bring another hat for his nemesis if he was ever to return to his own world.

Princess Celestia then continued to explain to not mourn his death. For it is just one of many times he faced the grim reaper. She explained how he was linked to a device named the RESPAWN, which she had seen in Heavy's memories when she first met him. And that as long someone's linked to this machine, they could die for an infinite amount of times and still be recreated. But still, they're now missing a powerful ally here in Equestria.

"Then where's Carmine?" Lyra and Bon Bon suddenly joined the group and asked for this.

"He's dead." The dovkahiin stated bluntly.

This fact shocked the princesses. Carmine was from a different world. One that did not had this strange technology. Which would mean his spirit is forever lost.

"What do you mean he's dead? Carmine can't die... He's probably the strongest guy I know." Lyra said not believing a word.

"Comrade Carmine... He is gone?" Heavy's view of death was slightly different then the rest. After all, death held no meaning to him. But the Russian always liked the COG soldier. He couldn't really compare him to any of the other REDs, but he still was one hell of a guy. Discord should not be forgiven if this is true. At least that's what the Russian thought.

Ulfgar didn't bother with words and let his actions speak. He tossed the helmet he was carrying of his fallen friend into the middle of the group. That was enough proof for the ponies and human to acknowledge this fact.

Clayton Carmine and the BLU Sniper are gone. The only ones standing between Discord are both the princesses, the Elements of Harmony and the two remaining humans. Ulfgar the fearless; Dovakhiin, and the RED Heavy. Unfortunatly the dispenser left by the BLU's earlier was destroyed by General RAAM. So the Russian had to do with the ammo he had left.

The BLU Sniper gave Equestria one last service before his death. He gave them a prisoner. He still managed to hit Chrysalis after missing a shot at Discord with The Machina. But she was far from alive. The bullet that penetrated her body was but a few inches away from her heart. There is only one that is able to heal this kind of damage.

"That reminds me... Pinkie Pie. I hope you don't mind we've used your basement as a temporary prison cell. With us being banished from Canterlot after all..." Princess Celestia said sheepishly.

"You what?!" Pinkie Pie upon hearing this immediatly rushed down to the basement of Sugarcube Corner.

There she saw the queen of the changelings. Unconscious, yet chained to the bed. Just to be sure.

"Where are they?!" Pinkie Pie shouted.

"Where's what?" Princess Luna asked the pink pony.

"You know! The cupcakes! I left them here before going to Twilight's library."

"Ah. You mean those rainbow-colored ones?"

"Yes!"

"Me and my sister ate them as we were hungry from the battle we participated in earlier." Princess Luna said.

"You what?!" Pinkie Pie was shocked.

"I hope you don't mind?" Princess Luna started getting worried.

"Why do you have rainbow-colored cupcakes..." Rainbow Dash asked slightly disturbed.

T-t-they were for..."

"What?!"

"Your birthday's tomorrow Rainbow Dash! You didn't forget did you?" So Pinkie Pie was annoyed that the princesses decided to devour them. But still, you can't stay mad at royalty for long. She'll just forgive them and make even more cupcakes!

"Ughh... Pinkie Pie. I think we've got bigger things to worry about right now. We'll celebrate birthdays and parties when this is over!" Rainbow Dash facehooved.

"Aww..."

But one was enraged upon seeing this. Ulfgar fought with the changeling queen once before. Why bring the enemy into your territory? That's a terrible idea, even if she's chained and locked up. Who knows what she might still be capable off.

"Why?" The dovkahiin asked. "Why would you bring her here?"

"I understand your feelings Ulfgar. But you should know that she's been abandoned by Discord. And leaving somepony helplessly abandoned to die is not how we want things to go in Equestria. That's not who we are and what we stand for. Besides, she might hold valuable information on Discord as she's spent so much time with him the last week." Princess Celestia said.

"I still think it's unwise. No matter what information she can provide us with, it won't stop me from getting my revenge..." Ulfgar said.

"And I think it's unwise to charge head first into a battle without knowing what we're facing. You see how we've ended up today. Canterlot is lost and two of our friends are no more."

Ulfgar just grunted at the princess's words.

"Hmm. Yes, there's another thing I'd like to ask of you."

"And that is?" The dovakhiin wondered.

"I'd like you to use your restoration magic on the changeling queen so that it might speed up her recovery."

"What?" Now this has gone to far for Ulfgar. Never would the dovakhiin do such a thing. "Are you insane? Healing the enemy? First you lie to me about Skyrim and now you ask me to do such a thing?" He asked.

This shocked princess Celestia. She did not know Ulfgar had found out the truth.

"H-how did you find out?" She asked.

Ulfgar then pointed at the queen of the changelings who told him of all of this before he was corrupted by her.

"Then why are you still helping us? After my selfish acts of denying you of the truth." Celestia asked.

"Aye... At first I couldn't find a reason. But after all these battles here... It's not so much different then Skyrim. I protect the weak and cleanse evil. That's what I was born to do. The Companions can handle the last of the dragons that still roam around Skyrim. With Alduin no longer there, the dragons are no longer immortal. So they don't require me to be around anymore. All I want now is revenge on Discord. He's the responsible one. Not you."

Princess Celestia was relieved. "I completely misjudged you Ulfgar. And I'm truly sorry for it. I thought that if we told you about the fact that your spirit has been lost to your own world... would enrage you beyond normal meanings. And that you might become a threat to us. I'm glad that my judgement was wrong."

"Don't mention it again. There's bigger things to worry about obviously."

"Then will you heal the changeling queen?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Aye. But just untill she's conscious. I don't want her at full power."

"That's all I'm asking." Princess Celestia gave a genuine smile.

Ulfgar then proceeded to use his restoration magic to slowly heal Chrysalis's wounds. His enemy from just a week ago.

"Uhh... Princess." Twilight Sparkle suddenly stepped in.

"Yes my prize pupil?"

"While me and Rainbow Dash were in the Everfree Forest with Ulfgar. Some... things happenend..." Twilight Sparkle said slighty worried.

"Tell me my child. What is it that's troubling you so much then?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Well.. Ulfgar had to fight against a scary octopus man. And I decided I had to help him in any way possible. So after a lot of research I've looked up in some old books by Starswirl the Bearded, I've managed to actually summon some... thing to help us."

"Really? That sounds rather complicated, yet extremely dangerous."

"Yes... And it was. I ended up bringing some scary monster from a different world... It managed to defeat the enemy that Ulfgar and Rainbow Dash were fighting. But then it pointed at me and swore that I'm its next target. Is it something I should be worried about?" Twilight Sparkle wondered as this experience really freaked her out.

"I'm not certain. Can you tell me more?"

"Well the creature dragged the octopus man with him afterwards. Dissapearing in the portal once again. But after that some strange orange glowing text appeared on the ground."

"Strange text appearing on the ground?" For some reason this started to sound familiar to the princess of the sun.

"Yes. Rainbow Dash heroicly managed to touch it. And then another human appeared. Completely covered in a orange glow. He called himself Solaire of Astora and mentioned the world the creature was from is called Lordran."

"Lordran..." Princess Celestia then went silent for a full minute.

"Princess? Are you alright?" Twilight Sparkle asked the princess as she was zoning out.

"Twilight Sparkle. I need you to return the books you have on this subject to me right now." The princess suddenly became serious.

"B-but why?"

"And promise me you will never... NEVER attempt such a foolish thing again."

"Sister... What is this 'Lordran' Twilight is speaking off?" Luna asked.

Princess Celestia let out a large sigh. A story she wished to never remember came back to her mind.

"After today I've learned that it's bad to keep lies from those closest to you. Please gather around. And let me tell you the story about the first humans that set foot in Equestria."

"First humans? You mean these guys aren't the first to ever come here?" Princess Luna asked shocked.

"This story dates back many thousands of years ago. Even before your time sister."

Everypony now gathered. The mane six. Lyra and Bon Bon. Derpy Hooves and of course the RED Heavy. Ulfgar remained at the changeling queen healing her.

"Shortly after the founding of Equestria, our beautiful world was invaded. Five humans, all completely covered in a red aura... I remember them as if it was yesterday."

"What were they doing here?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"At first they didn't seem hostile. But after finding out what kind of place Equestria was they all gotten mad with power. They started a giant killing spree across all of Equestria. Collecting what they called 'humanity'."

"What did they needed it for?"

"They came from a land. A land that's closer then you might think called Lordran. It's a dark place where the undead roam freely. But also a land where the gods of their sun resided."

"How is it close? Where is it?"

"I'm afraid I can't answer that because I do not know. It's a mysterious land and nearly everyone residing there is lying most the time. What I do know is that it is directly connected to the Everfree Forest in some way."

"What happened with the humans?"

"Yes... The humans. I remember them so clearly now. Hawkeye Gough... An archer with a bow so mighty that it was even able to take down dragons."

"Then there was Ciaran... A cunning rogue that stalked the nights ambushing every pony that he was able to."

"Artorias the Abysswalker. A knight with a sword even larger then the one Ulfgar is carrying."

"Dragon Slayer Ornstein. Armed with a spear infused with lightning he was considered the most skillfull of the four knights."

"And lastly... Gwyn Lord of Cinder..." Princess Celestia was reminded of the brutality of this last individual. "He was their leader. They called him the God of Sunlight. A divine lord. The lightning and flames he produced were enough to destroy entire cities."

"Then how did you manage to defeat them?"

"Defeat? They were never defeaten. Even the previous Elements of Harmony had fallen apart from myself." Again more troubled thoughts for Princess Celestia.

"But they're not here anymore right? You must've gotten rid of them some way?"

"No... I wasn't able to do anything... Even in the end. Starswirl the Bearded had sacrificed himself in order to banish the humans back to their own world."

"Starswirl the Bearded?!"

"Yes... He was a powerful mage and a close friend. But he did not do this alone."

"Then who helped him?"

"I don't know. And not a day goes by without me worrying about this. All I know is that it must be somepony extremely skilled and powerful with magic."

"Solaire did mention a 'gatekeeper' keeping the worlds seperated. Do you think it might be the same person?" Twilight Sparkle wondered.

"Most likely yes. But he's been able to hide himself for thousands of years now. I don't think he'll just come forth after all this time."

"Wow... I never knew Equestria had such a dark history. Discord, Chrysalis and the evil Night Mare Moon. Oh. No offense princess Luna." Twilight Sparkle giggled sheepishly.

"None taken." Princess Luna facehooved.

"And now you're telling us that actual humans have invaded Equestra before?" Twilight Sparkle got serious again.

"I told you humans existed! Even before Carmine and the others arrived." Lyra whispered to Bon Bon who was busy gasping at the story their princess just told.

"But you all shouldn't worry about this. It's something that happened in the past and isn't related to what is happening right now. I'm certain. Discord should be our main priority no matter what." Princess Celestia stated.

Ulfgar for one could agree to this. He was of course still listening to the story even though he was busy healing his enemy. But he had good news to report.

"Princess... She is awake." Ulfgar said to Celestia as he saw the changeling queen slowly opening her eyes.

But when Chrysalis noticed her surroundings her eyes immediatly widened. The man that nearly ended her life a week ago was right before her. And the human that single handedly took out hundreds of her children was slightly further behind. She felt fear when she noticed that she was chained to the bed she was residing in. But the emotion of hate conquered as she could do nothing but curse the humans for what they've done.

But then she remembered the events that occured before her losing consciousness. Discord. He betrayed her only to take over her changeling army. This just added more hatred fuelling Chrysalis's anger. But now she was alone, unable to take any action. Surrounded by nothing but enemies.

She could just sigh and didn't even bother to speak. What would be the point? Everything she worked so hard for is lost. Chrysalis could only accept what fate was planned for her.

"Don't start trying anything funny." The dovakhiin said giving the changeling queen a deadly glare.

"Hmmgh..." Chrysalis just grunted, looking away from the dragonborn.

"Don't worry. We're not here to cause you any more harm. We just require some information." Princess Celestia said with a sweet voice, while trotting towards the changeling queen's bed.

"... Information? And what makes you think I would share any with you?" Chrysalis said.

"Don't you remember what happenend? You've been abandoned by Discord!"

"... I know. But that still doesn't make you my ally." For an evil being Chrysalis did look rather sad.

"We went through the trouble of healing you after you've been left to die. The least you could do is share a few things." Princess Celestia started getting slightly annoyed.

"Maybe you should've left me there then. Because I'm not telling you anything."

"Chrysalis... please. How many more must fall by Discord's hand. You know that we've already lost a great deal of royal guards this day, and unfortunatly two of our human friends as well. Please, we just want to put a stop to this madness."

"Ha! Two of the humans are dead? That sounds like music to my ears. Finally things are starting to look good!" This pleased Chrysalis even though the two she hated the most still remained.

"How can you be so cruel?"

"Cruel? I'm cruel? No Celestia... You are the one that's cruel. What are these few losses compared to what I've encountered at the Canterlot wedding last week. Hundreds of my children... All had their lives ended by the humans that serve under you!"

"But you were assaulting us. To protect my p-" Princess Celestia got interupted.

"We did come to attack yes. But we never intended to harm anypony! We just were in need of... love simply to survive. We just planned on taking over Canterlot and feed on the remains of love that would still reside."

This bothered the princess of the sun. She started feeling compassion for yesterday's enemy. It's true that Chrysalis has suffered a lot. Princess Celestia could imagine putting herself in her hooves. Standing helpless at the side while her precious subjects were getting slaughtered by strange warriors that aren't even from this world. Just as Equestria was invaded thousands of years ago by the knights of Lordran.

"Is that why you've joined Discord afterwards?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Yes. Nothing will stop me from having my revenge!" Chrysalis gave an evil glare towards the dovakhiin and the RED Heavy. Of course they weren't intimidated in the slightest.

"But are you aware that the changelings that still remain are loyal to Discord now?

"What does it matter? He still wants to destroy the humans just as I did."

"Hmm... Isn't there anything I can say to perhaps persuade you over to our side?"

"I'm quite sure. Yes."

"Then maybe I can." Ulfgar suddenly said while unsheathing his greatsword which immediatly made Chrysalis flinch.

"W-what do you want!" Chrysalis asked.

The dovakhiin pointed his blade at the changeling queen. "You attacked us. You made the terrible mistake of underestimating us. Yet, you are not like Discord. So I'm offering you a deal."

"What?"

"Join us. And see your children that remain returned to you. Decline. And meet your ancestors right now." Ulfgar stated.

"... I will never forgive you humans. But I know that you're all strong. Are you certain you can defeat Discord?"

"That I've sworn ever since I arrived here." Ulfgar said confident.

Chrysalis then turned to princess Celestia.

"If you are willing to help us I will do whatever I can in my might to allow both our subjects to live in harmony." The princess of the sun said giving a genuine smile once again.

Chrysalis then felt another emotion she wasn't familiar with. Gratitude. She was glad in some ways that Celestia was attempting to help her. She'd give anything to to be reunited with her children once again. Freed from Discord's mad plans.

"Then you will help us?" Princess Celestia raised her hoof.

"For now... Yes." Chrysalis did the same and all the others in the room could only witness the most epic bro-hoof ever attempted.

"I'm glad this has worked out. Then... Can you tell us anything about what Discord might be planning. You've been in his previous hide-out have you not?"

"Yes... But what I've seen was not something to look forward to."

"What is it then?"

"Discord has... a dragon!"

Ulfgar immediatly started lauging out loud. "A dragon you say? Discord has to do a little better then that to best us."

"This isn't any normal dragon. It was terrifying before... but now."

"Is there anything specific you can tell us about this dragon?" Princess Celestia asked.

"It's an enormous dragon... I'm even sure it was able to talk in a strange language. Discord knew this being was far to powerful for him to corrupt."

"Then why does he have it?"

"Please let me finish. He's attempting to make it even more powerful. Ever since he summoned this creature weeks ago, he's been bathing it in a strange yellow liquid."

"Why?"

"With every day that passed the dragon started... mutating. Into something much darker. Whatever this dragon once was, nothing of it remains now. It's just pure destructive force and anger that resides within."

"Why would Discord bring such a powerful being that he isn't even able to corrupt? How could this possible help him rule over Equestria?" Princess Celestia wondered.

"You don't get it... Discord doesn't want to rule Equestra."

"Then what does he want?"

"He wants to destroy it."

_____________________

Chapter twenty. A last stand.

The group was shocked by what they've just heard. Discord wants to destroy Equestria? Why? What reason could he possibly have to do such a thing? So he doesn't want to rule anything... but he appears to be having a lot of fun in his 'games' that have already cost the lives of many of our allies.

"Why would Discord want such a thing?" Princess Celestia asked shocked at the still chained Queen Chrysalis.

"I'm not certain of his actual intentions, he never revealed those to me. He just wanted to dispose of the humans first before getting rid of everypony in Equestra. The only thing he ever mentioned is that it would be the best way. But I never really understood what he meant with that." Queen Chrysallis answered.

"By the gods. Who cares what he wants. It's obvious we need to take him down before he does so with us." The dovakhiin joined the conversation.

"Da! We go and crush tiny baby man. Does not matter what he brings, Sasha will crush it." Heavy added.

As much the princess of the sun was against violence, she couldn't deny the dangers her subjects were currently in. Discord... He's gone insane, and he needs to be stopped before he's able to attack himself.

"I agree..." Princess Celestia said silently.

"... Really?" Ulfgar was amazed to say the least.

"You really think that's a good idea princess?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"I know it might sound crazy Twilight... But think about it. If we are able to stop Discord before he's able to get this dragon of him, we should be able to save countless of lives. You've seen what he's capable of this far. This final enemy will most likely be the strongest as well, so if we have any chance to avoid it, we must take that chance with both hooves! Do you understand?" Princess Celestia answered.

"I guess it makes sense that way yes, but I feel really uncomfortable facing Discord again." Twilight Sparkle said.

"Don't worry. I'm sure that when this over, everything will go back to normal." Princess Celestia said smiling.

Lordran.

"Oh dear. Let's hope they don't do anything foolish." Solaire of Astora said while watching all the events that just occured after his short visit to Equestria. For some reason, he could see it through a bonfire. If he had only more time before, he could warn them.

Just a bit more time...

_____________________________

Back in Equestria.

"Then when do we strike?" The dovakhiin asked.

Princess Celestia looked outside. The sun was still shining brightly because she decided to raise it earlier then usual. Which meant it would take longer for this day to end. Be careful and assault Canterlot tomorrow? Or risk it all and face Discord the coming night? This decision could only be made by Princess Celestia.

"We should not waste anymore time, we will take back Canterlot tonight!" The princess of the sun said determined.

"Yes! Finally things are going as they're supposed to." The dovakhiin was obviously excited for his long planned revenge against Discord.

"Weren't you still pretty hurt earlier today? How come you're all better now?" Princess Luna asked Ulfgar.

"Ah yes... I have no idea." Ulfgar really did not recall what happened after his fight with Skorge.

"I can explain that." Twilight Sparkle added.

"Aye, tell me what happened."

"Well, you remember I said there was a strange orange glowing human that came to 'help' us after the battle. He said his name was Solaire, and he gave us a strange potion he called an 'Estus Flask' to help you recover." Twilight Sparkle explained.

"So this flask of his just magically healed the gaping wound in my stomach?" Ulfgar asked confused.

"Yeah, I have no idea how it worked, but there is one other thing though."

"And that is?"

"He explained briefly... that you're an undead or something."

"Undead?"

"Yeah, once I again I have no idea what he was talking about. Just thought you should know what happened to you." Twilight Sparkle was glad she told everything.

"Pfft. It's probably just some fancy term for me being banished from my own realm. I don't care for what this 'Solaire' said. As long I still draw breath I'm alive as far I'm concerned." Ulfgar didn't care what happened. Only one thing was important right now.

Rightful vengeance. Discord must pay for what he has done. None in the room disagreed on this. But was attacking early really such a good idea? It's probably for the best. Strike before Discord has the chance to counter. All of them were strong in some way, and this final battle was their chance to prove it.

"Is there anypony still hurt?" Princess Celestia asked, looking around the room. Obviously Queen Chrysalis was still injured.

No one replied. Must mean that everyone's okay. Great. Then the next order of plans will b-

"Ah think Heavy here might be slightly injured." Applejack suddenly said.

The large Russian just grunted. His left arm was actually severely bleeding and lost all feeling in it. Pain does not bother him. The fact that he only had a hundred and fifty bullets left did, and no dispenser anymore to refill his ammo.

"By the gods. Why didn't you say you were cut before! I'd could've healed you earlier." Ulfgar shouted annoyed at the Russian.

Heavy weapon guys grunted again. "What is pain? It does not bother Heavy. But I had enough!" The Russian suddenly slammed his still usable fist on a nearby table.

He was angry. He had enough of this, it's just gone to far. He needs to go back to where he belongs, and fight his never-ending battles in a secluded area. Bloodlust was close to overpowering the giant Russian. But he was still able to keep his cool for a single reason. He made a promise to never harm any pony, and he was determined to keep this promise.

But someone had to die soon. Discord... Yes, he needs to die. Pay for the BLU Sniper's 'death'.

"Then heal dragon-man!" Heavy suddenly said. "Hurry and then we go crush ponies enemy for good." He said while narrowing his eyes.

"I like the way you think." The dovakhiin answered and proceeded to start healing the Russian's wounds.

"Well then. Luna, I'd like to have a word with you privately for a moment. Could you follow me please?" Princess Celestia asked her sister.

Princess Luna did as asked and followed her sister. They left the basement of Sugarcube Corner and eventually got to the main hall. It was private enough for the time being.

"What is it you wanted to discuss Tia?" Princess Luna asked.

"Ah yes. About the upcoming battle..." Princess Celestia answered.

"Yes! I can't wait. Surely it will be dangerous, but to stop Discord I would've expected nothing less."

"That's just the thing Luna... You're not going."

"Yeah, and then we g- ...What?" Princess Luna responded surprised.

"Allow me to explain sister."

"Please do..."

"What we're going to be facing tonight will possibly be the most dangerous obstacle in our lives. It will not be a safe place for anypony. Not even us, and that's why I need you to take the changeling queen and all nearby citizens to evacuate to safer grounds in Manehattan."

"That still doesnt explain why I can't come with you. We can just teleport them to safety right now."

"Listen Luna... If something were to happen. The citizens of Equestria need somepony to lead them. That's why we can't risk coming both. Please, I'm not doing this to tease you. It's the best for our subjects."

Princess Luna was dissapointed, but she understood her sisters intentions. She just prayed nothing would happed to Celestia. But if something did, the ponies would still have Princess Luna to rule over them.

"Alright sister. But you must promise me to be careful!" Princess Luna said.

"Just leave everything to me, the Elements and the remaining humans. All this combined power will surely give us an advantage." Princess Celestia ended the convsersation with these encouraging words.

_____________________

Meanwhile in the middle of nowere. The RED team.

"So yer sayin' there ain't just damn talking birds ere? But bloody colorful horses as well?" Demoman asked.

"That exactly what ahm sayin' yeah." Engineer answered.

Ever since their escape from the gryphon kingdom they've been constantly on the run, avoiding more random encounters. But the Engineer figured out this strange world where their co-worker 'Heavy' was brought to, did not just have gryphons in control here. Oh no, appareantly there's a race of brightly colored equines here as well.

"I don't care. Anything is better than those freaky birds." Scout added.

"Zis is most interesting. Unfortunatly ve do not have ze time to properly examine zhese 'species'." Medic said with a wicked grin.

"Gentlemen, remember we are professionals. Now zhen, where are those drumsticks?" Spy asked.

"Mmmmppphh!" Pyro decided to burn his gryphon wings slightly further. He liked them well baked. Or actually... he just likes to burn things. He REALLY likes to burn things.

"Oi, I don't like this world and their prancin' show-ponies one bloody bit." Sniper added.

"You are the most worthless unit of MAGGOTS I have ever witnessed. By the flag... Even those Nazi bastards put up more of a fight than you do!" The Soldier was self-proclaimed leader of the REDs. And he did everything to keep moral as low as possible.

A lot could be said of the Soldier. That he's crazy? Maybe. That he's insane? That's basically the same thing, but sure. But he was also a true leader in heart and soul! And most of all, he was a cold blooded killer.

Even after being rejected by every branch of the U.S. Military in 1940 where he desperately wanted to fight in World War 2, he decided to buy his own ticket to Europe and fight the war he longed so much for himself.

After arriving in Poland the Soldier taught to use himself a variety of weapons including shotguns, rocket launchers and shovels.

Then the Nazi killing spree started. He went on his own across all of Europe blowing each and everyone to bits and pieces. He was awarded multiple medals for his honorable and heroic actions. In fact, he designed and made the medals and trophies himself.

Eventually his killing spree which was in the thousands by now, was stopped upon him hearing the war had ended. This was in 1949. Shortly after those events the Soldier joined the RED.

Where's now he's leading this bunch of pathetic maggots!

An annoying loud-mouthed, fast running brat from Boston.

A mysterious crazed lunatic who just wants to see the world burn.

A drunk black scotsman with only one bloody eye, and an unhealthy desire to blow things up.

A highly educated, hard-hatted laid-back man from Texas. (Although Solly thinks he's from Canada) With much love to tinker with all sorts of machinery.

A German scary guy. Soldier would say nasty things about him, but the REDs knew how valuable he was to the team. So he respected the Medic for that. But dear god, he's got a few screws loose. Archimedes was also with him.

Then we have the Australian camper. Just sits in a tree all day, doing nothing apart from filling his jars with piss. Weird guy.

Lastly the french sissy. With his 'haute cuisine' and 'escargots'. Hiding in the shadows and disguising as the BLUs to destroy their enemies before they would even have a chance to react. Soldier hated his ways of figthing, but couldn't argue with the results he delivered.

Those are the REDs. And they've come here with only one goal. Retrieve their friend and bring the one responsible for punishment.

A few weeks ago their colleauge, the RED Heavy, was taken by an unknown goat-thing. For a while they continued battling their eternal enemies, the BLU. Untill one day the BLU's themselves dissapeared. Just as the RED Russian.

When that event happened, they were pursued by their boss to fix whatever it was that's going on. By using state of the art technology they've been able to track down the world Heavy was taken to.

This isn't the first time Mann. Co had to deal with a magician after all. However, they were easily able to track down the Russian's weapon. Just like all their weapons Sasha's been tagged. Just in case one would lose their weapon. They already learned this the hard way when Heavy was once seperated from Sasha. They had to bring in Saxton Hale to stop the Russian's rampage.

But they were sent here with a time limit. And they've just spent more then a week fighting with some stupid grypons. They had to get back their co-worker today. Or Saxton will show up again and kick their asses. No one was looking forward to that, that's for sure.

Engineer already had a teleporter exit set up back in 2fort. He'd just have to make the entrance here and POOF they're all back in their own world.

Of course they could just simply blow their brains out as well, die and use the respawn. But that would be unnecessarily bloody.

"We've been walking all day, geez. How far away is he?" Scout said complaining.

Engineer was staring intensively at a mechanism of his determining the Russian's location. "He's still about thirty miles that way." He pointed in a random direction.

"Thirty miles? We'll never make it before the end of the day with fat Solly around." Scout said grinning.

"Boy, you do NOT want to make me angry." Soldier was enraged, thus he pulled out his 'Disciplinary Action'. A whip. "Better start running!" Now the Soldier was grinning.

"OH GOD OW!" Soldier started whipping his teammates, ordering them to run as fast as possible without stopping. They've asked for it.

Hold on Heavy! We're coming for you.

_________________________

Several hours later. Back in Ponyville.

The mane six had collected the Elements of Harmony. Surely their power will prove useful in the upcoming battle. It sealed Discord twice before, perhaps it will get rid of him entirely this third time.

Heavy was completely healed once again thanks to the dovakhiin. Armed with Sasha and his remaining bullets he determined to end all of this tonight.

Ulfgar was just as ready. Thanks to the strange potion he had taken earlier all his wounds have dissapeared. He didn't question it, but considered it a blessing since now he's able to finally complete his revenge. Armed with greatsword and the Thu'um he's a force to be reckoned with.

Princess Celestia was still nervous. Which is understandable, not many face these situations. But for the good of her people she had to do what was right. Fight for them, with everything she had.

The ponies prepared. Night was coming and so was the assault.

Princess Celestia said her goodbyes to her sister. She would remain here to evacute the hurt Chrysalis and other remaining civilians to safety in Manehattan.

Derpy Hooves, Bon-Bon and Lyra would not come. They're determined enough, and have the heart for it. But they were simply not strong enough to face Discord. It would be better for them to stay out the way. They agreed thankfully and said their goodbyes to the mane six and remaining humans, wishing them luck.

Shortly after those three teleported away, along with Luna and Chrysalis. Ponyville was still to close for comfort.

Just Princess Celestia. The mane six, Heavy and the dovakhiin remained.

"Are you all ready?" The princess of the sun asked the group.

They all nodded.

So princess Celestia started charging her spell. Teleporting them directly in to the Canterlot palace.

A bright flashing light engulfed the group. Shortly after they noticed the spell succeeded as they were facing the royal chambers once again.

It was not the same as it was this morning.

Discord had completely remodelled the castle to his liking. Everything was completely black instead of white, all the portraits had been replaced with pictures of Discord himself. Quite the ego this guy got.

Also the fountain in the hall was now spewing lava instead of water. This was rather creepy.

"Welcome... To my domain." A voice suddenly shouted.

There he was. Discord. Sitting atop Princess Celestia's throne who was now covered with black balloons. I have no idea.

Ulfgar immediatly unsheathed his greatsword. "Discord! Prepare to meet your ancestors!" He shouted while pointing his blade at him.

"Ah Celestia... I did not expect you to come so soon. It's not even been a full day hasn't it?" Discord said, completely ignoring the dovakhiin once again.

"We've had enough of your games Discord. Your reign of terror will come to an end today!" Princess Celestia answered.

"Yes... a pity isn't it. But you'd thank me if you knew otherwise." Discord said.

"What do you mean?"

"It doesn't matter. I'll be sure to make you all suffer as less as possible." Discord then snapped his finger once again.

A thundering roar could be heard. Followed by another enormous explosive sound.

"Maybe it's better you came this early. I didn't enjoy myself here anyway. Farewell Celestia." Discord snapped his fingers once again, teleporting himself to safety.

"By the gods! Why does he keep cowering away." Ulfgar was obviously annoyed by Discord's actions.

"Little puny baby man will come back. He always does, then we crush him." Heavy added.

"This was to be expected. I'm more worried about that noise from earlier." Princess Celestia wondered.

"Maybe it's another monster?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"Aye. You can count on that, but what is he bringing us this time?"

*THUMP* *THUMP*

If those were footsteps, this can't be good.

*CRACK*

All of a sudden the entire roof was ripped off by a behemotian creature. The group stared in awe at the being.

It slightly resembled a dragon, but horribly mutated. It was enormous to say the least. Bigger than any dragon they've ever seen. It was completely covered in strange yellow liquid. The very same liquid the lambent berserker was also covered in.

It was a terrifying creature. Made into an abomination by the lambent mutation. It's eyes however, were not red of corruption.

The creature stared down at the group. It was in pain, a lot of it. But it did not care, it had only one goal. Destroy and annihilate everything.

"STROM DA QUUL!" The creature shouted. The very same words used by the dovakhiin to conjure a storm of lightning.

But this was no thunderstorm. The sky slowly started turning red as blood and flaming objects could be seen crashing down towards them. It were meteors.

This was no normal dragon-lambent monster.

"Dovakhiin, Kel drey ni viik." The creature spoke.

"By the gods. It's... Alduin." Ulfgar hoped to never face the world eater again.

"Pahlok joorre! Hin kah fen kos bonaar. Daar Lein los dii!" After these words the lambent-Alduin monstrosity started spewing violent flames towards the group.

"RUN!" Twilight Sparkle shouted. The group did as she said, but one man remained.

He stood in the flames, not hurt at all by the heat produced. He was dovakhiin, bearer of the Dovah Sos.

Alduin was his greatest enemy. Even greater then Discord, he thought that he stopped the Nordic god of destruction before in Sovngarde. Yet here he is again, more powerful then ever before.

Words cannot describe Ulfgar's determination to stop this foe once again. It wasn't just his duty, it was his destiny.

"ODAHVIING!" The dragonborn shouted at the top of his lungs.

Nothing happened, as expected. He's in a different world after all. But it does not matter. Alduin's demise will come again, for the third time now. Hopefully forever.

Ulfgar engulfed his greatsword in violent flames once again. The best way to fight fire is with even more fire.

He leaped at the creature through the ceiling. If he'd have the first attack before the meteors start falling he'll have a massive advantage.

But his attempt was in vain as the lambent monster suddenly grew multiple pairs of tentacles around its wing area which violently knocked the dovakhiin away.

Even though the flames did not burn Ulfgar, the immulsion did. And it burned like hell, he was knocked thirty yards further into a wall.

"Ulfgar!" The ponies shouted worried for their companion.

But he stood up once again. Covered in blood he looked terrifying to say the least, but not even close to how insane this monster was.

They all started to prepare.

The final battle has begun.

_______________________

Chapter twenty-one. Blood and Fire.

"Nust wo ni qiilaan fen kos duaan!" The lambent-Alduin monstrosity shouted. The noise produced from just his voice was enough to crack nearly every window in Canterlot.

The mutated beast did not resemble its normal form in the least. It was at least three times larger, towering above most buildings now. Its wings yet remained small and unpractical. It most likely wouldn't be able to fly. Yet the mutation continued and several tentacle-like things started spouting from all over across his body. All of these were armed with a sharp edge and dripping with more deadly immulsion that would burn any normal person alive.

It had only one goal. Destroy the world. Everything must be annihilated, vanquished or crushed in his presence. He failed once when attempting to burn Skyrim to the ground, yet is given another chance.

Weeks ago he escaped the realms of eternity where he remained after being 'defeated' by the dovakhiin and the heroes of Sovngarde. By the diabolical creature known as Discord he was brought to Equestria where the draconequus attempted to bend him to his will. What a foolish mistake, he will learn from his mistake for underestimating the Nordic god of destruction. Yet in his weakened state Alduin was imprisoned by the one named Discord for weeks. In a cave where he continued to grow more powerful every minute by constant exposure to the strange liquid known as immulsion.

Yet Alduin never lost his sanity. He was more than strong enough to compress the extra power given to him. Just an hour ago he escaped his wretched prison and had only one goal. Destroy the one that took him here, and crush everything else in sight.

Yet spotting the dovakhiin ignited Alduin's lust for battle once again. Just as Ulfgar himself, Alduin was only driven by revenge. They were equals in that matter.

Little did Alduin know that destroying this entire world and its inhabitants is exactly what Discord wants. Including himself of course. Why? No one knows yet.

But there were only a handful of beings standing in his path.

The dovakhiin, Heavy, Princess Celestia and the Elements of Harmony. Together they stood vigilant to protect not only Canterlot, but all of Equestria.

The meteor storm summoned by lambent-Alduin was getting closer. The entire sky was lightened by their presence up in the air, but as they slowly got closer they were even able to feel the intense heat produced from the flaming meteors. A few minutes before they start dropping, max.

"DOVAKHIIN! You will endure endless suffering, and your soul will be devoured by ME!" Alduin shouted as he started spewing more flames towards his nemesis.

Ulfgar just stood still, still recovering from the previous blow he took. But he did not fear the flames, not anymore. He's grown a lot since that first encounter in Helgen. He hoped at least that Alduin would finally be forever defeated after his demise in Sovngarde. But the legend still continues, yet in another world once again. He wondered if the people of Skyrim would ever read of this battle. Or if they were still safe at least. There was still a lot going on even though the dragons weren't the main problem anymore. The Stormcloaks and the Imperial continued their useless war. Daedra's kept showing up and the Forsworn were becoming a serious threat. At least the Dark Brotherhood was no more.

But there was no time to worry about the past. Ulfgar got ready to embrace the endless firestorm that was heading towards him, yet he did not need to.

Princess Celestia teleported herself in front of him, quickly powered up her horn again and teleported the two of them of to a safer place.

Ulfgar was slighty confused to what happened, but recovered quickly as he saw Heavy and the other ponies in front of him again. They were still in Canterlot, yet hiding behind a large building. Alduin's shadow could still be seen as he was towering above everything else, luckily he was far away enough for them to quickly come up with a plan.

"By Ysgramar! Why would you teleport me away? I was about to clash with the world eater once again." Ulfgar asked.

"Really? From my point of view it looked like that 'thing' was trying to burn you alive." Princess Celestia answered.

"Aye, but I do not fear the flames. Being the bearer of the Dovah Sos has taught me that. Don't worry about it anymore."

"Good to know. Anyway, we need to come up with a plan quickly, before those burning rocks start falling." Princess Celestia started brainstorming.

"Maybe... we should just run and go home?" Fluttershy peeped.

"Fluttershy... You know we can't do that. If we don't stop that thing, who will?" Twilight Sparkle replied.

"Aye. That creature there is... or was Alduin. Destroyer of worlds, so he is out for only one thing." Ulfgar said.

"Confetti?" Pinkie Pie chirped.

"Aye, which means we need t- No, by the gods! He's not here for damn confetti! He's here to crush every living thing." Ulfgar replied annoyed and started facepalming.

"Oh... Yeah, he didn't really look like a nice dragon, that's for sure." Pinkie Pie answered.

"So... Does anypony have a plan how we might... dispose of this vulgar creature?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah, we fly straight over there and POW POW, I hit that freaky big lizard right in his stupid nose. And then you guys come in and BOOM, start shooting your magic at him. No problem at all." Rainbow Dash was pretty confident.

"Da! Heavy agrees with little Scout-pony. We shoot many magic and bullets then puny monster will go down!" Heavy joined in.

"Yeah! and then we... Wait a minute, you call them Apple-pony, Flutterpony and Sparkle-pony... How the hay am I a Scout-pony?" Rainbow Dash asked confused at the Russian.

"Because little fast blue pony reminds me of puny little man back home." Heavy answered.

"Oh wow! Is he your friend? He sounds pretty awesome if he's anything like me."

"Njet!" Heavy started grinning.

"Could you two please stop this? We've got bigger problems right now." Twilight Sparkle stated.

"Ah agree, y'all seen that monster out there ain't looking for a tea-party or whatnot. He looks pretty determined to blow some things up." Applejack said as she watched Alduin stomp several large buildings to the ground.

"I...I really just want to go home." Fluttershy whimpered.

"I know that you feel troubled Fluttershy. But please, keep courage. Because we need all of the Elements power to stand a chance against this creature. I assure you that I won't let anything happen to any of you." Princess Celestia said comforting the frightened pegasus.

These words were comforting, but not enough. Fluttershy had always feared dragons. Spike was an exception, and Equestrian dragons weren't that known for being violent, so that one instance on the mountain where she confronted a large dragon doesn't count. But this creature could barely be called a dragon anymore. Fluttershy, no matter how hard she tried, couldn't feel any compassion for the creature in front of her that was in so much pain, caused by Discord.

Yet it was terrifying as just the swing of its tail was enough to bring skyscrapers to the ground. But Fluttershy had to try, together with her friends they might have a chance top stop its rampage. No matter how slim, they have to grab it with both hooves, otherwise all of Equestria might be doomed.

"Da! Little Flutterpony should not be scared. Heavy will be there to protect little ponies as long I'm here." Heavy also comforted the pegasus.

"Thank you... I'll come with you guys." Fluttershy said silenty, yet convincing enough.

"That's great Fluttershy. But we still don't have a plan." Twilight Sparkle said. "And those meteors are starting to get dangerously close now."

"By the gods, do you really think I strategically planned all my encounters with dragons this far? I just went straight at them with the full force of my blade. Alduin has fallen to it before, this time it won't be a difference." Ulfgar said more than confident enough of their inevitable victory.

"Well I don't care. We need to properly review the situation, and then come up with an idea that might get rid of the monster, preferably not hurting anypony in the process." Twilight Sparkle replied.

"By the gods... You're willing to protect this world of yours right?" The dovakhiin asked the purple unicorn.

"Well of course I do." She answered.

"Then take every chance you got. There's simply no time to make a war-plan against what were facing. Sometimes you're just supposed to risk everything." Ulfgar said proudly and raised the greatsword over his shoulder. He then proceeded to walk away from his cover, back to the fight.

"Ulfgar stop!" Princess Celestia ordered the dovakhiin.

"No... It's been enough." Ulfgar took a final look at the sky. It was competely red as far as the horizon. The storm was nearly hitting them. He continued further dragging his blade behind him.

"Ughh... These humans are so stubborn." Princess Celestia facehooved.

"Dragon-man is right. Come, we go and crush final boss!" Heavy was next to leave their cover. He was smiling, Sasha would soon be able to kill again.

"Yeah, come on! Let's go!" Rainbow Dash followed.

"Ahm sorry princess. Ah guess they're all pretty excited." Applejack was the next to leave. For some reason she was armed with a lasso. Don't quite know how that's going to help out in this situation, but do your thing girl.

"Hey, what are we doing? Are we dramatically leaving our hiding place one at a time? OH ME NEXT YAY!" Pinkie Pie started hopping away happily, following her friends.

Princess Celestia facehooved once again. This had to be the worst team of random individuals put together ever. Alone they were strong, yet they did not prefer to have a leader or take any orders. She guessed it to be understandable in this situation. Perhaps to mask their fear of this behemothian dragon-monstrosity? Yeah, that's what she guessed. She just prayed everything would be alright, and that their confidence wouldn't be for nothing.

"Come my prize pupil. At least we should stay close and face this threat together." Princess Celestia said to Twilight Sparkle.

"I agree with you a hundred percent princess." Twilight looked behind to her remaining friends. "Are you two coming?" She asked.

"Yes yes. We'll be right behind you dear!" Rarity replied.

"Right behind you." Fluttershy repeated to confirm this.

"Ooookay... Then let's go!" And the last four took off. To put an end to all this chaos caused by Discord.

______________________________________

The legends in Skyrim told of the dovakhiin. Bearer of the Dovah Sos. He would be the one to free Skyrim of the dragons that would roam their world. Three times he faced the world eater; Alduin now. The first time when Ulfgar's story began. That faithful day the dragons returned and the dovakhiin's execution took place in Helgen. The second time they stood against each other was in Sovngarde. Where the dragonborn and the old heroes were able to defeat him entirely.

Now unfortunatly there's a third time. Ulfgar the fearless was facing Alduin not in Tamriel or the plains of Sovngarde. But in a strange world called Equestria. Where a race of sentient ponies rule. That's fine, Ulfgar didn't question this anymore. All that matters now was that the Nordic god of destruction must be destroyed. That was his destiny, only that would finish the legend of the dovakhiin.

They both faced death in order to get transported to this world. The dovakhiin and Alduin had a lot more in common than they would ever admit. There was a mutual hatred between them. Ulfgar's entire existence consisted of killing dragons. That was all he was ever meant to do, only he would be able to since he was the bearer of the Dovah Sos.

And Alduin hated the dragonborn for stopping him once before. Even though it was with the help of others, Ulfgar was the one that took the finishing blow. Alduin would never forgive him. He must be destroyed and endure the same pain Alduin was in.

But there's no more time for old memories. The first meteor crashed straight into the royal palace, blowing it up entirely and creating a massive fiery crater.

At this moment the dovakhiin stood before the lambent-Alduin. Quickly after he was joined by Heavy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

"Hmm. Dovakhiin, Hin lost daal." The dragon momentarily stopped his rampage as the dragonborn caught his attention.

"Prepare to meet your end once again Alduin!" Ulfgar shouted.

"Bah, arrogant mortal. You do not even know our tongue, how dare you take the name of Dovah!" Alduin spoke annoyed with his voice which was loud enough to shake the ground.

"I think I've earned it after slaying hundreds of your kind. And you'll be just another one." The dovakhiin spoke confident.

"HA HA! I'm more powerful then ever before, what can you possibly do without the heroes of Sovngarde to protect you?"

"We can shoot puny dragon is what we can do! YAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Heavy already started revving up Sasha and launched a barrage of bullets towards the enormous dragon.

The rounds all connected and penetrated the giant monstrosity, yet the being did not seem bothered. More immulsion started leaking from the holes created, but shortly after were regenerated by the mutation. Appareantly Alduin can regenerate now.

Heavy upon noticing Sasha wasn't doing any damage immediatly stopped firing his mini-gun to preserve his precious ammo. He'd have only like a hundred bullets left at this point, max.

"He he he." Alduin was chuckling slightly maniacally. "Meyye joorre. Foolish mortals, is that the best you can bring?"

"Heavy will shoot your big ugly face later. Then you better run coward!" The Russian shouted taunting the dragon.

"You will all be devoured after I'm finished with the dovakhiin. Prepare yourselves!" Alduin responded.

"You will not!" Princess Celestia shouted as she appeared on top of a building accompanied by Twilight Sparkle, Rarity and Fluttershy.

The princess conjured up a powerful flame, just as she did with the Brumak in order to completely incinerate it. Yet her powers were severely weakened by the earlier events and without the presence of the sun they grew even more weaker.

Yet it had some effect on the giant dragon as he started staggering on impact. More immulsion started spouting in all directions and Alduin started stomping every nearby building to make up for the pain he was enduring.

Luckily for the labent dragon the damage done was quickly healed once again by the mutation. But every place that got hurt grew more blade-like tentacles, ready to slice everything that got near.

"Bah, these pathetic attempts to harm me are futile." Alduin stated.

But Heavy weapons guy noticed the dragon's pain when he got hit by Celestia's attack. He had a brilliant idea.

"Little pony princess!" Heavy shouted.

"Yes, what?" Princess Celestia answered, shouting back from atop the roof.

"You must do more strong magic attacks. Then we must all attack at same time!" Heavy laughed at his own brilliance.

Yes, what an excellent idea! Princess Celestia thought. If the humans attack with their weapons from the ground, combined with the power of herself and the Elements of Harmony attacking the dragon from up here, surely it has to go down, or at least be greatly damaged.

This wasn't exactly Heavy's idea. He just wanted to shoot his remaining bullets at Alduin combined with one powerful attack with princess Celestia. But her idea is probably better.

"My little ponies. Please all gather here so we c-." Princess Celestia said to the remaining three ponies who were back on the ground but was interupted.

"You called?" Pinkie Pie suddenly popped next to them instantaneously.

"Wait, how did you... Nevermind. Applejack and Rainbow Dash. Please come up here, we need to gather all the elements." Princess Celestia continued.

"Ah guess we better get going. It's a long way up that building there, ya see?" Applejack said to Rainbow Dash.

The blue pegasus responded by facehooving and suddenly picked up her friend, lifting her up in the air.

"Hey, put me back down! Ah don't like flyin' one bit!" Applejack yelled.

"Oh shut up AJ, this goes a lot faster than walking." Rainbow Dash replied. "Good luck to you two!" She shouted at the humans.

"Are you ready dragon-man?" Heavy asked the dovakhiin as he started getting his mini-gun ready.

"Aye. I was born ready to fight Alduin." He answered while unsheathing his greatsword once again.

"Then we crush dragon for good now, and end all madness."

"Aye... for it to end, that would be nice wouldn't it?"

Heavy replied with a annoyed grunt as he started revving up Sasha.

"Hah!" Alduin started chuckling again. "What pitiful attempt to harm me have you mortals planned this time?"

Princess Celestia and the Elements of Harmony gathered on the roof. Meteors were still crashing around them annihilating Canterlot by the minute. But if they wouldn't stop this creature even more than just Canterlot would be destroyed, all of Equestria is in danger.

She already charged her magic back up to fire a similair fireball as before. Hopefully combined with all the other attacks it'd be enough.

The Elements of Harmony also prepared. It's been a while since they had to use its power. The last time was with Discord as they've never gotten a chance to use them at the Canterlot Wedding. But all the ponies were confident in their own abilities, and were certain that they'd be able to use the power of the Elements to its full extent one more time. They needed to.

"Is everypony ready?" Twilight Sparkle asked her friends.

"Yes ma'am!" Rainbow Dash saluted.

"Yeppers!" Pinkie Pie answered.

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be. That disgusting creature must be disposed of as it's already destroyed three of my favorite shops in Canterlot. UNFORGIVABLE!" Rarity added.

"It's now or never gals." Applejack said.

"Oh dear... I hope we won't get hurt." Fluttershy added.

"Don't worry. I'll be sure nopony ever will." Princess Celestia comforted the pegasus once again. They'd just have to wait for the right time to attack now. Follow the humans lead.

Back on the ground the Russian was still busy taunting the enormous dragon much to his annoyance. But Alduin had only one goal right now, destroy and devour the dovakhiin's soul. The giant lambent-dragon monstrosity decided to ignore Heavy's rambling for the moment and turn towards Ulfgar.

"Daar Lein los dii. Are you prepared dovahkiin?" Alduin asked.

"It will never be. You will die in this world and never return!" Ulfgar replied.

"Hmm hmmm hmm." Alduin chuckled. "Then come... and embrace your death. And know that when I've devoured your soul you will never be able to enter Sovngarde!"

"I'll be the one absorbing your soul! COME ALDUIN! We end this right now!" Ulfgar shouted.

"He he. Gladly." The dragon answered.

Ulfgar started charged with his blade equipped in both hand. Alduin prepared to unleash more hellish flames but was interupted as the dovakhiin began using the Thu'um.

"FAAS RU MAAR!" Ulfgar spoke the dragon words for fear, run and terror. The weak shall fear the Thu'um, and flee in terror.

"Ha! You think I'll run away dovakhiin?" Alduin laughed.

But Ulfgar immediatly followed up with another shout as the lambent-dragon was confused at the earlier one that didn't seem to make a lot of sense.

"IISS SLEN NUS!" He now spoke the words; Ice Flesh Statue to engulf his foes in a tomb of ice. Yet Alduin was far to enormous for the shout to work, but he was close enough to the dragon to freeze a part of his side completely, along with the blade tentacles. After that the dovakhiin leaped up the dragon and started to violenty hack away at the frozen parts of his body, completely shattering them.

Alduin shrieked in pain, but was far from being finished. But next was the RED Heavy. He was grinning wickedly as he already warmed up his mini-gun. He aimed straight at the dragon's face pumping it full of lead the second Ulfgar also started his assault.

But there was more. From atop the roof the Elements of Harmony stood together, launching a magical beam of friendship straight to the lambent monster. It clearly seemed to damage the dragon as the power of the Elements seemed to burn him alive.

Princess Celestia was the last to join. She summoned just as much power as before but decided to put a little more effort in to her attack this time, just to make sure the dragon really goes down. She unleashed a fiery attack similair to the one before, yet larger far more deadly as the heat produced from the attack could be felt by not just Alduin, but everyone even close to it.

Ulfgar quickly jumped of the dragon upon seeing this attack, avoiding the damage done by Celestia and the mane six. Heavy just continued firing, and now the dovakhiin decided to add a little more damage to the creature, at the cost of his own health.

"KRII LUN AUS!" He shouted the words for kill, leech and suffer. Speak, and let your Voice herald doom, as an opponent's armor and lifeforce are weakened. It was to make sure Alduin reveiced critical damage. Yet the strain of using so many shouts on the same day started to backfire on the dovakhiin. He was in pain once again and started coughing up more blood. But it doesn't matter as long Alduin gets defeated.

He stared at the beast who was screaming of pain by all the damage it was receiving. Immulsion around his body started boiling like crazy and splattered in all directions. He swung around his tail in a rampage caused by the suffering he was going through. Shortly after he dropped to the ground, trying to pull itself up with his small wings, but in vain. Alduin's eyes started to slightly turn white. The group finished up their attack and the RED Heavy was out of ammo.

"Dovakhiin... You will suffer... You all will." Alduin spoke these while raising himself up slowly.

When all of a sudden the mutated dragon's chest bursted open, and another head came sticking out. Completely undamaged and even more hideously mutated than the previous one.

Yet also slightly more insane as Alduin was no longer able speak comprehensible words. It just roared in terrifying shouts while he was 'shedding' its skin. But his eyes never left the dovakhiin. The lust for vengeance still remained.

"LOOK OUT!" Twilight Sparkle shouted as suddenly another meteor was heading straight towards the building all the ponies were on at an alarming speed.

"Twilight... I can't use my magic again for a short period after using such a powerful spell. You need to teleport your friends to safety quickly! Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy. You two come with me." Princess Celestia said. She and the pegasi could just fly off before the meteor crashes.

Rainbow Dash quickly followed the princess of the sun, leaving Twilight to only teleport herself, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Applejack to safer grounds. The less ponies the further the distance they could travel through teleportation, and getting to a safe distance was their top priority right now.

Twilight quickly rushed her spell as the burning rock was getting dangerously close now. She managed to teleport herself and her friends to safety in time with some to spare. She spotted Princess Celestia and Rainbow Dash landing on a building close to them.

"Wait... Where's Fluttershy?" Twilight Sparkle asked with a panicky voice.

"Oh darn! She's still on the building. Poor thing must be scared to death." Applejack stated.

"Oh no!" Twilight Sparkle quickly teleported herself back to the building. "Come on Fluttershy! We need to go!" She shouted at her friend.

Fluttershy was still frozen in fear. The monster she just witnessed was able to take all that punishment and simply made an entirely different body that was WITHIN his other body to cheat death. This creature was terrifying, destructive and extremely dangerous. Fluttershy tried to move her legs but they just weren't co-operating.

"Stand still. I'll just teleport us to the rest." Twilight Sparkle started creating a spark with her magical horn to transport both of them. But the spell backfired, most likely because she now used it twice in a row so quickly.

"Oh no oh no oh no!" She said as she watched the burning meteor coming closer by the second. The heat it produced was like standing next to a volcano. But desperatly she continued to ignite her spark to teleport her and Fluttershy to safer grounds. Even princess Celestia wouldn't be able to save them in time from this situation.

"Yes!" Finally Twilight was able to create a spark. "Get ready Fluttershy."

Both ponies were engulfed in magic and dissapeared. Unfortunatly they re-appeared only about thirty meters further.

"Oh no..."

The meteor crashed down onto the building they were on before, completely crushing it to the ground. The shockwave created was enough to knock both Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle through the air. Both ponies were thrown against another building by the impact. Fluttershy slowly fell down to the ground, already having lost her consciousness. Twilight Sparkle crashed down next to her, yet still conscious.

"No little ponies!" Heavy shouted. He was extremely worried about their well being. Luckily he and Ulfgar were able to avoid the impact of the meteor by taking cover behind another large building that wasn't smashed yet. Unfortunatly the Russian was out of ammo. He didn't even anything else besides his fists to fight right now.

But the dovakhiin was shocked. Alduin wasn't harmed at all, even after three shouts from himself, including the magical powers of the ponies and the destructive force of Heavy. What can they do to stop this? Is there anything at all, or is it truly foolish to even attempt to fight the lambent-Alduin.

No... He's the dragonborn. It was his legend, his story. He would be the one to destroy the world eater. He had to, not matter how hurt Ulfgar was, he'd never give up. Alduin and Discord, the dovakhiin couldn't describe his hatred to these two beings.

Meanwhile Princess Celestia immediatly rushed over to the two ponies who were hurt by the lambent-dragon. Fluttershy just was laying there, unconscious on the ground. Twilight Sparkle was still awake.

"P-princess... My legs hurt." Twilight spoke silently, still confused at what happened.

"My little ponies... I'm so sorry for involving you in something as dangerous as this. I can't be forgiven for acting so selfishly." Princess Celestia said.

"It's not your fault princess... We all came on our own will, like Ulfgar said. We have to be willing to risk it all to save Equestria... I just never imagined it'd be like this." Twilight spoke as she was coughing up some amounts of blood from the crash she just had. Next to her legs being hurt she'd might have some internal injuries.

"Don't worry. We'll get you and Fluttershy out of here and I'm sure Ulfgar will be able to fix you up later. We just need to get to safe place for a while." Princess Celestia replied.

"But... is there still anywhere safe?" Twilight Sparkle asked as the sky was still filled with falling meteors.

"We'll find a place, we just need some time." Celestia answered.

At this moment, Rainbow Dash and the other ponies arrived to the scene. They quickly checked up on Fluttershy as well. She seemed to still be breathing but was knocked out cold.

"Where are the humans?" Princess Celestia asked.

___________________________

Back at Alduin and the remaining humans.

"Are you sure dragon-man?" Heavy asked worried at the dovakhiin.

"Aye. It's gone to far. Just take them to safety. I'll finish this once and for all." Ulfgar answered.

Heavy wanted to stop him, maybe he should. But he knew that it'd be useless to stop a man's determination. When his mind is set on something, it wont change, no matter what.

"Fight with honor comrade. I will come back later." Heavy said as he left, leaving the dovakhiin and Alduin alone.

Ulfgar engulfed his Skyforge steel greatsword with flames one last time. The very same blade that had slain Alduin once before will taste his blood again. Ulfgar had only one more option. He slowly started walking towards the behemothian lambent-dragon monstrosity that was once Alduin.

"BLLAAAAARRRGHH!!" Was the most Alduin could master to speak. Insanity was rapidly consuming the beast, making him more powerful and lethal by the minute.

"Ulfgar stop!" A voice suddenly ordered the dovakhiin.

He looked behind him to see who was interfering with his destiny. It was princess Celestia.

"You can't face this alone Ulfgar. He's too powerful." She said.

"Aye... I know." Ulfgar answered with a sigh.

"Then what are you doing?"

"A man faces battle with honor, and will never flee from more powerful foes. That's what being an adventurer is all about."

"But you can't possibly defeat him alone."

"And neither can you without the power of the sun. Re-collect your magic to raise the sun once again, and use your magic which is much more powerful than mine to destroy Alduin for good."

"But that would cost time, and we currently don't have that luxury."

"Aye... And that's what I'm giving you."

"Ulfgar... What are you saying?"

"Just flee... You damn fools." Ulfgar gave a final gentle smile at the princess before leaving her and started heading towards Alduin again.

"Ulfgar! You don't have to do this!" Princess Celestia shouted.

But the dovakhiin didn't respond. He raised his fist one final time signalling Celestia to get the hell out of here.

Princess Celestia hesitated. But there wasn't anything she could do to stop him, if anything she should take this chance and bring those that got hurt to safety. Then properly prepare raising the sun to fully power up and completely incinerate the lambent-dragon in one shot.

She looked back one last time. Truly a frightening man; Ulfgar the fearless.

____________________________

Ulfgar stood alone in front of the giant dragon. Even though Alduin was losing his sanity by the second, he never forgot the dovakhiin and his face. He was his main priority before the rest of Equestria. He was most deserving of a painful death first.

"COME DRAGON! FACE ME AND ME ALONE!" Ulfgar shouted. His final battle begun.

He raised his flaming sword and swung it in the direction of Alduin. It released a massive wave of violent flames. Alduin was engulfed in them, but barely affected.

"GRAAWL!" Alduin shrieked and used it tail to block the rest of the incoming flames. But his attention was fully set upon the dovakhiin.

"Come!" Ulfgar shouted once again.

The dragon started stomping around in its incredibly messed up body. One leg was much larger than the other so it wasn't really fast, but he slowly started heading towards the dragonborn.

Ulfgar then quickly started running in the opposite direction of the ponies, leading the giant dragon away from them. At least they'd be able to get away safely. The dragon followed, slowly but sure.

Ulfgar kept running through the narrow alleyways attempting to gain as much distance to Alduin as possible, but in vain as Alduin was just able to stomp everything that was in front of him to the ground. But a distant building caught Ulfgar's attention. It was extremely high and not yet affected by the storm of burning meteors. He might have a plan to severely damage Alduin.

He kept running as fast as he was able, ignoring all the pain his body was currently in from overusing the power of the Thu'um. But eventually he made it to the building leaving Alduin still several streets behind him. He'd just have to make it to the top in time. He jumped through the first window he spotted which was already broken due to Alduin's presence. He then quickly looked around the building for a stair that could lead him to the roof. Even though there wasn't any lighting he found the emergency staircase rather quickly and started heading upstairs as he continued to listen to Alduin's footsteps getting closer by the second.

The dovakhiin stormed through the closed door leading to the roof. He quickly sprinted to the ledge, to be able to see Alduin's current location. It didn't take him long to spot that the Nordic god of destruction was right below him.

Perfect.

Even though Alduin was big, this building was even higher. With this height advantage the dovakhiin would be able to deliver a devastating attack without him ever noticing.

Ulfgar leaped of the roof, without a single moment of hesitation he prepared for a plunging attack aiming his sword downwards. As he continued to fall towards the giant lambent-dragon he decided to add a little more venom to his attack.

"WULD NAH KEST!" The dovakhiin used his Whirlwind Sprint to gain extra speed in his drop. With his blade at the bottom the speeding dovakhiin acted as a human bullet.

He connected with the unsuspecting Alduin, penetrating the creature right thought his skull. Ulfgar was inside his head for a brief moment but dropped down shortly, being burned alive by the immulsion that was surrounding Alduin.

He dropped his blade to the ground in order to get rid of the liquid that was nearly melting him. But he looked victorious as Alduin finally stopped moving. Must be rather hard without his brains. The dragon fell to the ground, followed by an enormous earthquake just from the impact.

Ulfgar stepped closer after the aftershock to be certain of his kill, but it was too late.

Alduin started regenerating himself once again, even though half his head was completely blown off by Ulfgar's attack. This immulsion and its strange power is truly terrifying.

"By... the gods." Was all Ulfgar could master to say. Exhaustion for excessive use of the Thu'um was wearing him out.

But he would never give up.

Never.

"FUS RO DAH!"

"FO KRAH DIIN!"

"YOL TOOR SHUL!"

"FUS ... ro... dah..." After this relentless assault of multiple Thu'ums in a row the dovakhiin fell to his knees. His body was hard to move, everything just locked up. With eyes widened he stared at Alduin, hoping he would be affected this time.

He was not.

All the damage done was nearly instantly regenerated by this terrifying mutation. Even its head was now covered by multiple bladed tentacles.

Ulfgar dropped face-first to the ground, his blade and helmet knocked off lying next to him. He slowly managed to turn himself around to take one final look at the stars.

"I'm sorry everyone."

Sovngarde awaits.

__________________________________

Slightly earlier. Heavy and the ponies.

Heavy had already arrived at the rest of the group. As soon he saw Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle hurt he thought it to be best to send them to safer place. He took both of them on his shoulders and started running with the rest of the mane six while Celestia was busy checking on Ulfgar.

They had to get out of Canterlot, into the mountains and secure a temporary headquarters untill they can figure out what to do to stop this monster. This far everything seemed hopeless, but Heavy was sure that they could celebrate victory in the end. These ponies are strong, especially their princess. Heavy just hoped they were strong enough, because he couldn't do anything without ammo for his mini-gun.

Meteors were continuing to fall, so getting as far away from Canterlot as possible was their number one priority.

"Wait! Did you see that?" Rainbow Dash shouted as something caught her attention.

"What did you see dear?" Rarity asked.

"I... I'm pretty sure I just saw a fish attached to a red blur."

"What? That sounds pretty silly." Pinkie Pie added.

"I have no idea what it w-" Rainbow Dash was interupted as a loud earthquake trembled the floor and knocked all the ponies and Heavy that were on the ground flat on their face.

"What the hay was that?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Heavy just continued laying on the ground. He hit his head as he was falling trying to shield the two hurt ponies from the impact. Everything around him was blurry, he could just heart faint talking and distant explosions from the meteors dropping.

"Hey what do you think you're doing! Get away from him you weirdo!" Rainbow Dash suddenly shouted.

What? Is there a weirdo around here? Heavy thought. He tried to figure out what was going on. They were running away, then there was an earthquake and then he fell flat on his face. Wait... Is he the weirdo? That blue little pony better isn't calling him a weirdo!

"Bonk!" Heavy heard an incredibly obnoxious voice speak. After those words he was repeatedly slapped against the face with... a fish?

"YOU?!" Heavy suddenly jumped up.

"What's up big guy?" The person replied.

"Sandvich?"

_______________________________

Final Chapter. And with fire came disparity.

Bright shining light emerged in front of Heavy. There he was, his best friend and most loyal comrade for years. It was Sandvich! But wait. Heavy noticed there was something attached to the deliciousness. It was a hand! And it was holding the Sandvich.

"Yo knucklehead, I'm talking to you!" The person holding the Sandvich said. After that he raised his other arm and started repeatedly slapping the 'Holy Mackerel' against the Russian's face.

"Oh it is puny baby man as well! What is little man doing here?" Heavy answered as he finally noticed that it was his teammate in front of him.

"Wait... You know this guy?" Rainbow Dash asked the Russian. He looked pretty familair to the blue pegasus.

"Da! You remember Heavy said little blue pony remembered him of someone?"

"Uhh... Yeah."

"This is someone! Is RED Scout!" Heavy said overjoyed as he was finally reunited with his beloved Sandvich. NOM NOM NOM. He immediatly started chowing it down. Now to hoping it would 'respawn' back in Heavy's pocket after a while.

"So yeah... Do you have any idea how much trouble we went through just to find you? Any damn idea? And what do we find out? That you rather hang out with damn colorful tiny horses instead of us!" Scout said annoyed.

"No no, is not like that. Ponies have big problems all the time! Heavy was just helping them crush puny enemies." Heavy replied.

"Yeah pfft. What problems can these girly ponies possibly have? Let me guess. Their glitter or candy machine broke down or something?" Scout said mocking the colorful inhabitants of Equestria.

"Uhmm, excuse me. But if you'd just look up you'd see we're in quite the pickle." Rarity stated as she interupted the two humans, pointing out that the burning meteor storm was still going on.

Scout looked up to the sky. Unimpressed. "So you got some bad weather... Big deal. Have you ever seen the weather in Boston, you ever been there?" He asked.

"Uhh, no I have not." Rarity answered.

"Yeah, let's keep it that way. Anyway, any other problems I can solve? Just point me in the right direction!" Scout said fully confident of his own abilities.

"Well there is a gia-" Pinkie Pie wanted to explain the situation but was interupted.

"Shh! Don't finish that. I like a surprise, just point me there!" Scout said excited.

"Uhh. It's that way." Pinkie Pie pointed her hoof towards the ruins of Canterlot.

"Alright then. Here we go. WOOO!" Scout started sprinting towards the town.

"Scout! Is not very good idea." Heavy shouted at his teammate.

The RED Scout suddenly stopped his movements to respond. He turned his face around slowly and started raising his thumb. "Don't worry. I got this!" He said confidently while smiling. The group of ponies and Heavy were certain his teeth started blinking as he spoke.

The confident Scout started sprinting further. He armed with the Scattergun, stock pistol and the Holy Mackerel. He had no idea what he was about to face. He continued further and started noticing how many of the buildings in this town were completely smashed to the ground. Including some fiery craters that were created by the meteors crashing in to town.

He sprinted one block further passing quite a large building. He was not prepared for what he saw next as he passed the corner.

Sweet mother of god, what the hell is that thing?

________________________

Back at the ponies and Heavy.

"Are you sure your friend will be okay?" Rarity asked Heavy.

"Da. Little Scout is dumb, but really fast. He is fine." The Russian answered.

"Ahm still worried 'bout that big mean dragon. We oughta get the hay out of here!" Applejack said.

"Yeah... But we still don't know where Ulfgar and the Princess are. We can't get out of town to far without them." Rainbow Dash stated.

"Ah! Twitchy twitchy twitchy twitch!" Pinkie Pie's tail started twitching. "Something's going to fall from the sky!" She said.

"But Pinkie... There's already things falling. You know... Those giant burning rocks maybe?" Rainbow Dash replied.

"Hmm. Yeah, those don't count." Pinkie Pie answered.

As Rainbow Dash was facehooving Princess Celestia suddenly arrived. She wasn't dropping from the sky, so that's still not the reason for Pinkie's twitchy tail.

"Is everypony alright?" Princess Celestia immediatly asked the group.

"Yeah. Only Twilight got knocked out as well after that earthquake. But she's still fine and breathing." Rainbow Dash answered.

"Is dragon-man...?" Heavy asked.

"I don't know." Princess Celestia answered. "He stayed behind luring the dragon away from us, all on his own. Just to give us an oppurtunity to escape and regroup. We can only hope that he's alright."

A moment of silence followed, but was rudely interupted by an annoying noise growing louder each second. It was coming from above them.

"fffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" The group saw the RED Scout, being lit on fire and launched through the air falling towards them.

*POOF*

He crashed down comically headfirst in to the ground. The impact of him hitting the ground managed to shake the flames away from him.

The Scout coughed up some dust. "Medic..." He said silently.

"Wait... Another human?" Princess Celestia was shocked.

"Yeah, appareantly he's a friend of Heavy." Applejack explained to the Princess.

"Oh no!" Heavy didn't want to see the Scout die already. He quickly reached to his pocket.

It truly is magical.

The Sandvich has respawned! Warm, moist and delicious from being in the Russian's sweaty pockets should be mentioned. But with an amazing power. The Sandvich would completely heal any of the Mann. Co. employees. RED or BLU.

"Quickly comrade!" Heavy shouted while stuffing down the delicious treat down the Scout's throat. "You must eat Sandvich!"

"Mmmmggghh!" Scout struggled as he was choking, but eventually was able to chew down the Sandvich which magically fully recovered him. "Uhh, I hate you. But thanks big guy." He said.

"Sandvich is credit to team!" Heavy grinned.

"Yeah sure... WOAH WOAH WOAH, WHAT THE HELL?!" Scout was suddenly extremely confused. "Okay, I was willing to overlook the fact that there are 'unicorns' and 'pegasus..sesesses' or whatever. But now there's an actual giant horse with wings AND a horn?" He said as he was pointing at the Princess of the Sun.

"Excuse me?" Princess Celestia replied.

"Da! She is little pony-princess. Her fire is stronger than puny Pyro's." Heavy explained.

"Yeah that's really cool, I'm sure." Scout said sarcastically as he just couldn't believe something as silly as that.

"Anyway... Why were you soaring through the air while being lit on fire? Weren't you going to solve our problems huh? Weren't you?" Rainbow Dash asked as she started poking the RED Scout. Afterall, she had met the BLU Scout before. Didn't really like him, but most likely due to the fact he was trying to kill her at that time.

"Yeah don't do that." Scout said as he pushed the blue pegasus's hoof away. "OH SHIT!" He suddenly remembered what he encountered before and had sent him flying.

"What is it?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Oh yeah, we got a major problem on our hands. Appareantly there's a giant freakin' monster stomping around over there!" Scout answered as he pointed towards the ruins of Canterlot.

"Well duh! We tried to tell you that before, you silly!" Pinkie Pie replied.

"Woah! You smell like cotton-candy. Anyway, there I was with my fish. The monster was crapping his pants just from being in my presence, but due to some unfortunate accidents he managed to get the upper hand on me and... uhh well yeah, it lit me on fire and used its tail to launch me in to the air." Scout said.

"Well that's really helpful." Rainbow Dash said sarcastically.

"Yeah but that's not all hot-shot. It's also headed in this direction!" Scout answered.

And right on queue the lambent-dragon monstrosity destroyed the last few buildings standing between him and the edge of Canterlot. He looked down upon the group and started spewing more violent flames towards them. It also appears he had grown another head. Which meant double the fire. Alduin had only one goal and purpose. Destroy everything.

But if he's here... Then Ulfgar is... Princess Celestia thought to herself. But there wasn't any time to worry.

"RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" Scout yelled and started running first. Heavy quickly picked up the still unconscious Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle and ran after his teammate. Princess Celestia and the remaining mane six followed next.

"Where are we going?" Rainbow Dash asked as she was the only one able to keep up with the extremely fast RED Scout.

"Engi's setting up camp further with the rest. I was just sent to scout the area. He'll know what to do." Scout answered.

____________________________

Engineer, Medic, Demoman and Soldier. Temporary base camp for the REDs below the mountain where Canterlot stands.

Buildin' buildin' buildin' Engineer was repeatedly whacking his wrench at the many constructions he just made. After he finished creating three dispensers along with four level three sentry-guns he couldn't help but chuckle a little.

Outside his own world he had no limitations or contracts to oblige to. Oh no. He'd be able to continue building them as long he had metal to spare. And so he did. He'd like to see the faces of the BLU Medic and Demoman if they were ever to encounter this impenetrable defense.

The dispensers were all spread out across what the REDs proclaimed 'their territory'. And so were the Sentry Guns. The REDs weren't stupid, they all noticed the infernal storm above them, plus the terrifying roars of an unknown creature faintly in the distance. They knew Heavy was up there, but had no idea how to quickly get atop the mountain.

Their first idea was to either let the Soldier rocket jump up there, or the Demoman use his sticky bombs to lauch himself there instantly. But they couldn't take that risk. There's obviously no health packs around here and they'd better prepare properly for what 'might' be coming.

So they did the next best thing. Send Scout to well uhh... scout! He's by far the fastest of the mercenaries and even though he's quite fragile he usually refuses to die easily. He's extremely good at running away. He was obviously the man for the job to quickly check on Heavy and send him towards the REDs so that they could quickly return home without any problems. He was able to jump pretty high, but not up a mountain. So he had to run around it.

Yet three of the other mercenaries were sent on a mission as well. Pyro, Spy and Sniper were sent on the task to retrieve the one responsible for all these events. In other words, they need to capture Discord and return him for punishment. They've been tracking him down ever since entering Equestria because the RED Spy was smart enough to plant a bug on the strange creature when he first encountered him back in Badwater Basin.

Discord should've done his research better. He never realised that these mercenaries were not simply strong random individuals. No, far from it. This was a team. And as a team they stand strong together, and will not let any of them get hurt by others.

Also, Saxton Hale; the shirtless Australian CEO of Mann. Co. pressured the RED team to get him back as soon as possible for the sake of the company. Heavy might be the most expensive employee, but he is one of the most valueable, so his absence was surely missed.

To make certain the RED team was motivated enough to rescue their colleague, Saxton Hale fished out a giant white shark from the sea. Bare-handed of course, and locked the vicious beast ( who thanks to state of the art Australian-technology was able to breath on land obviously. ) inside the respawn chamber with the team.

After two hours of constant deaths by killer-shark attacks Saxton Hale decided it was enough and sent the REDs to the world of Equestria. At this point the BLUs who were also briefly in Equestria hadn't returned yet.

The REDs endured a lot of suffering while being imprisoned and sold as slaves in the gryphon kingdom. But were luckily able to escape the grip of their 'owner' by baking him alive after he had returned the REDs their weapons.

Now they're back in action, blowing stuff up. The end was nearing, Heavy had to return today or else....

"Mein hard-hatted freund. You don't zhink that all zhese sentries are neccesary, do you?" Medic asked Engineer.

"Doesn't hurt to be prepared ya know. By the looks of it Heavy's got quite a few problems. Luckily we're here to solve em." Engineer answered pointing at the sky. "Ya just keep buildin' that uber of yers, just in case."

"Ah yes, I have not brought ze normal medi-gun. I thought ze Kritzkrieg vould be more appropiate." Medic replied and continued overhealing Soldier to build up his uber-meter.

"If that maggot doesn't return in exactly two minutes I'm going to strangle him with his own frilly training bra!" Soldier barked, clearly annoyed at the fact he didn't bring his shovel. Yet the 'Disciplinary Action' has proven its usefulness as the RED team arrived at Ponyville rather early, where they first marked Heavy's location.

Just moments before the entire town was evacuated by Princess Luna, and Heavy and his group already had taken off. Yet one pony remained in Ponyville doing some sinister sneaking in the shadows. She pointed the team towards Canterlot, where the human would most likely be. The RED team of course questioned absolutely nothing.

"Oi! Ye lads heard that roaring before? If I wasn't drunk I'd swear that was a dragon! Oh, me mum would be so proud if I brought her a real dragon's tooth or something of that kind." Demoman paused for a moment to take a sip of his Scrumpy. "Then I'll be Tavish DeGroot; Dragonslayer! One more job to add to the pile."

"Are you a damn idiot! Dragons don't exist you numb-nut!" Soldier barked.

"Oi, but ye also said talking birds an' horses don't exist. Yer still denying that?" Demoman replied.

"I've seen nothing of that kind! And if my eyes are not there to witness it. It clearly doesn't exist!" Soldier always wore his slightly oversized military helmet. In fact, the helmet was so big it actually blocked nearly half the Soldier's vision. But he didn't care. Hats save lives! That he was certain of.

"Oh!" Demoman suddenly started sobbing. "Ye always know how to hurt me feelings with yer talking about eyes. Yer nothing like the BLU Solly."

"If I ever see you hanging out with that BLU scum again I'll make certain that they will have to glue YOU back together in hell private!" Soldier shouted as he slapped the Scottish demolitions expert on the head.

"Did ze fräuleins have zheir mittelschmerz hmm?" Medic chuckled at his own joke.

"Pardners, ah think that's Scout over yonder with some blue bird up in the sky." Engineer said and pointed upwards where the RED Scout seemed to be falling down.

"Eine blue bird?" Medic frowned.

"Dag-nabbit, it's a damn flying pony alright?" Engineer facepalmed.

"ffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" Scout came crashing down once again.

He managed to lose a few teeth this time, but wasn't critically injured. "M-medic..." He coughed up some dust again.

"Zhis dummkopf." Medic sighed and started healing his teammate.

Shortly after a small blue, rainbow-maned pegasus landed next to the scraps of the RED Scout.

"Are you humans this guy's friends?" She asked.

"Yep, ya can call me Engineer. What the hell just happened over there?" He asked.

"Oh, I'm Rainbow Dash and the thing is, there's a gi-" She was interupted.

"WOAH WOAH WHAT THE HELL MAN?! You said you were able to lift me and take me here as fast as possible?" The now fully recovered RED Scout asked the blue pegasus.

"Well you're here and fast... aren't you?" Rainbow Dash chuckled.

"That still doesn't explain why uhh.... YOU THREW ME DOWN HERE! Was I to heavy to lift or what?" Scout shouted.

"I was able to lift you just fine! At least untill you started pretending you were a superhero or something and you started making awkward movements that made me lose my grip on you." Rainbow Dash explained.

"Fine... I'll fly another day." Scout was pretty dissapointed, not by the fact he got hurt. Who cares about that? Medic will fix him up every time. But it was because he was being denied to fly gracefully through the sky.

"OI ARE YE SEEING THIS NOW SOLLY! A BLOODY TALKIN' HORSE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YE! YE CAN'T DENY IT NOW, CAN YE?" Demoman suddenly shouted as he held Soldier in a choker hold, forcing him to look directly at the pony.

"I'VE SEEN NOTHING YOU WORTHLESS MAGGOT!" Soldier belowed.

Demoman decided it was useless to convince Soldier that ponies can talk, so released Solly from his grip. "I can't believe yer so stubborn lad. It's right in front of ye and yer still denying it." He said.

"Are you an idiot?" Soldier shouted.

"W-what? What the bloody hell do ye mean?" Demoman replied.

"It's obvious there's a talking little horse in front of us. There's no denying that."

"Okay?"

"There's only one explanation..."

"And that is?"

"By the flag! Haven't you seen the signs private?"

"What bloody signs? What the hell are ye talking about man! Start making some sense damm it!" Demoman started getting annoyed.

"It's simple really."

"COME OUT WITH IT WILL YE?"

"Robots..."

"R... Bloody robots lad?"

"Beep boop beep. That's right private! They're robots. The pictures around base clearly shown us that, plus the word TOBOR, which is ROBOT reversed keeps popping up everywhere. It's all a massive conspiracy! It's going to be Mann. vs. Machine. from now on!" Soldier was pretty sure his conclusion was the right one.

"Oi... Are ye serious?" Demoman was appareantly drunk enough to see all of this as a probability. It all makes sense, yeah robots. That's it.

Rainbow Dash was meanwhile flabbergasted. Just really messed up in the head after hearing the complete random nonsense coming from the two RED mercenaries. What the hay is wrong with these guys? This is the great team Scout and Heavy were talking about? They seem rather... weird.

"Uhh... Ya might want to ignore those two." Engineer said to the pony.

"Yeah... that sounds like a good idea." Rainbow Dash replied.

"What can ye tell us what's going on, is there another large human that slightly resembles a bear up there?" Engineer asked.

"You mean Heavy?" Rainbow Dash replied.

"Yeah, Heavy's up there with some more ponies. Appareantly he's friends with them now." Scout said to confirm this.

"Well I'll be damned. The big mean Heavy friends with cute little colorful ponies? That's something ah never imagined myself seeing." Engineer was pretty surprised. "Where is he exactly?" He asked.

"He'll be here in a minute. Princess Celestia would teleport herself and the rest here when me and that Scout fellow arrived." Rainbow Dash answered. Princess Celestia would be able to magically detect Rainbow Dash because she was carrying the Element of Loyalty with her.

"It vould be nice to be reunited with my Russian freund again. Ze hurting is a lot more fun with him around rather zhen... zhese two dummkopfs." Medic stated, implying that Demoman and Soldier weren't as useful as Heavy in some battle situations. Heavy was always there to catch bullets for him. Soldier and Demoman just launched themselves away most the time, out of range of the Medic's medi-gun. Plus the Heavy-Medic combo was feared by almost every class.

And right on queue a bright flashing light started engulfing the REDs temporary base. There was one problem though. The Sentry Guns started beeping as soon the group got teleported right in the middle.

But Heavy, as a combat veteran he immediatly recognized this familair sound. He quickly jumped in front of the line of fire between the sentries and the group of ponies. The Sentry Guns most likely viewed this unknown large group as targets.

"Stay behind me little ponies!" He shouted while the ponies were still recovering from Princess Celestia's teleporting spell. Exhausted by excessive use of magic without the power of the sun to back her up made the Princess of the Sun collapse on the ground.

"Uhh... What's going on?!" Pinkie Pie shouted.

*BEEP*
*BEEP*
*BEEP*
*BEEP*

The sentries had already turned to their targets and started firing several rounds and rockets towards the group. Heavy catched every round. The group was lucky he was rather fat, because none of the shots passed him. But even the giant Russian could get hurt. Especially if there's four sentry guns shooting at him.

Medic upon seeing this immediatly jumped in and started overhealing his good friend with the Kritzkrieg, building the ubermeter even faster.

"You might vant to tinker with your contraptions a bit Dell!" Medic shouted at the Engineer.

"Thank you doktor!" Heavy shouted as he continued catching bullets while continuously getting healed. He was overjoyed to see the REDs again, but couldn't really express his feelings in this situation.

"Dag-nabbit! Ah thought ah already added ponies, unicorns and pegasi to its 'NOT KILL' list." Engineer quickly started whacking his sentries with his wrench to install the latest updates.

"Oh yeah, they also got flying unicorns. Maybe I should've mentioned that before?" Scout said sheepishly.

So appareantly the sentries were firing at Princess Celestia, whom the Sentry Guns recognized as a possible threat.

Engineer quickly ran at all the sentries, hitting them as hard as he could. One by one they stopped firing at the group. He finished up on the last sentry and turned towards Rainbow Dash. "Anything else beside ponies, pegasi, unicorns and pegasus unicorns around?" He asked.

"Uhh... No, I think that's it." She answered.

As the sentries stopped shooting Heavy was finally able to drop his guard. The ponies one by one started scraping themselves up, clearly scared by whatever it is just happened to them. Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy and now Princess Celestia were all unconcsious.

"COMRADES!" Heavy shouted overjoyed and sprinted towards his German friend; Medic. "Is good to see you again doktor!" Heavy gave him a good old hug.

"Aghh! Put me down zhis instant dummkopf!" Medic shouted annoyed and slapped Heavy's new hat right of his head. This made Heavy release the German. "Ahem. It is good to see you again as well meine freund." He answered casually. Medic wasn't a really emotional kind of guy.

Heavy just grinned and proceeded to pick up the hat Rarity had crafted for him. Surely the REDs will bask in its divine presence.

"By the flag! That is some OUTSTANDING headwear you got there private!" Soldier, the self-proclaimed leader of the REDs was next to speak with the Russian.

"Da! Is very good hat. Has Soldier killed more Nazi's while Heavy was gone?" Heavy asked, uninterested because he knew where this would lead to.

"LET ME TELL YOU ONE THING MAGGOT! Back in the war when I was in Europe there was only one thing that mattered. SHOES! Yes those Nazi-bastards thought they were some clever geniuses hiding them in th-" Soldier kept rambling while Heavy continued to his next teammate.

"Oi laddy. Tell me, those ponies aren't really robots are they?" Demoman asked pretty drunk and confused.

"Maybe. Heavy did not pay much attention. But crush many enemies here instead." Heavy answered.

"Aye... So yer sayin' there's still a chance they're actually robots?"

"Da."

"Bloody hell. I have no idea what's going on anymore." Demoman proceeded to brainstorm while sitting on a rock, all while sharpening the Eyelander. Heads. HEADS! No wait, screw the Eyelander. He proceeded to sulk while stroking his beloved sticky-bomb launcher.

Heavy continued to the last RED at the scene; Engineer.

"Ahm glad we found ya big guy. We've been through a lot of trouble just to get here. Ya knew ya were still linked to the respawn right?" Engineer asked.

"Da. But much happened here. Little ponies needed Heavy's help. There were more strange humans here." Heavy answered.

"You'd better finish up yer business here then. Cause we're goin' home today." Engineer replied.

"Da. It would be good to go home again. But ponies need help one more time. There is no one left to help them."

"Ya mean they got us to help em. Ah like fixing problems. Ahm sure whatever it is ain't no big deal so we'll just finish up yer business here and we'll be going alright?"

"Da. But first doktor must heal little ponies. We need them."

Heavy left Engineer and walked towards the Medic. He grabbed his shoulder and asked. "Doktor! You must quickly help little ponies get better!"

"Healing ze ponies? Hmm, I'm not certain zheir hearts vill be able to withstand ze pressure of my medi-gun." He answered.

"Njet! You must try, ponies are strong!"

"Ach ja. Vhy not?" Medic aimed the Kritzkieg towards Fluttershy first. As soon the healing ray touched her she immediatly opened her eyes. Medic stopped as soon he noticed that she recovered.

"W-what happened?" She asked as she could only see a large amount of humans stand in front of her. All unknown and scary looking. She quickly cowered to the ground hoping nopony would harm her.

"Little Flutterpony don't be scared! These are the REDs. They are my comrades." Heavy said hoping to comfort the cream colored pegasus.

"Yeah Fluttershy quit being such a baby and say hello. They're all weirdos but they're on our side." Rainbow Dash said annoyed.

"HEY! I'm not a weirdo. Am I?" Scout asked.

"You're the biggest weirdo here. No doubt about it." Rainbow Dash laughed.

"Screw you!" Scout then started sulking on a rock next to Demoman.

"Uhhm. Hello?" Fluttershy peeped.

"OH HELLO FRÄULEIN!" Medic shouted which only made Fluttershy cower further.

"Ughh. Zhese ponies are so sensitive." Medic then proceeded to heal the next unconscious pony. Twilight Sparkle.

She was hurt slightly more then her friend so it took a few more seconds for her to recover. The wounds she suffered quickly vanished as if they were never there. The power of the medi-gun is extremely similair to the Dovakhiin's healing powers.

Twilight Sparkle then rose up from the ground and started looking at her friends. They looked pretty scared and confused, also there was a crowd of extremely weird looking humans all dressed in red standing in front of her. But something in her brain twitched as she suddenly saw her mentor; Princess Celestia lay unconscious before them.

"W-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" Twilight Sparkle quickly jumped in front of the Princess of the Sun to defend her from anyone getting close.

"Oh zhis is a spicy one! I like her." Medic stated.

"Get away from the Princess you!"

"No no little Sparkle-pony. This is Medic. He is good friend and he just helped you recover!" Heavy explained.

"Why do ya always think the worst of humans when ya wake up next to one after being unconscious Twi?" Applejack asked her friend.

"Yeah! I don't really know what's going on, but these guys look like they know how to par-tay!" Pinkie Pie said excitedly.

"I'd really hoped to see some exotic human attire when I heard more of them were here in Equestia. Unfortunatly their fashion choices keep disgusting me!" Rarity said. To bad the well dressed Spy wasn't around to show off his amazing suit to the fashionista pony.

"Then why is Princess Celestia knocked out here?!" Twilight Sparkle asked still panicking.

"Pony princess used lots of magic. Maybe it got to much?" Heavy said.

"Well... I guess that's a possibilty. She already used two powerful spells I knew nothing about today. Plus she teleported herself and us around quite a bit. And without the power of the sun her magic is already weaker." Twilight Sparkle replied.

"Step aside fräulein. To hell vith your magic! Let me show you ze power of technology." Medic said as he pushed the purple unicorn aside and pointed his gun-like object towards Princess Celestia.

To Twilight Sparkle it might've seemed like he was going to shoot her so she immediatly tried to jump in again, to protect her mentor. But she was stopped by the giant Russian holding her tightly.

Medic aimed the Kritzkrieg at the final victim. Princess Celestia. He pressed the switch and started healing her. But there was something odd, his ubercharge meter started raising a lot more rapidly from before. Was it because this is a powerful magic entity? Medic would never find out because there's no way they'll let him dissect Princess Celestia.

Slowly but surely Celestia started recovering from her exhaustion. The power that the medi-gun gave her felt unbelievable. She felt three-hundred years younger. At least!

She rose up to her hooves and started looking around. To her relief everypony seemed to be alright. And the humans Scout mentioned are here as well. She all recognized them from when she entered Heavy's memories. These were all cold-blooded killers, mass-murderers and some just completely insane psychos. But she knew one thing. These humans are strong, incredibly strong. She could only hope to pursue them towards helping them on this dark day in the history of Equestria.

"Is the monster still around?" She asked at the ponies.

"Yep. You've only been unconscious for only like five minutes after you teleported us here." Rainbow Dash explained.

"Vhat monster vould you be talking about hmm?" Medic asked intrigued.

"The monster that has completely destroyed our capital today. He needs to be stopped immediatly before he continues his rampage through all of Equestria." Princess Celestia answered.

"Ma'am. Excuse me, name's Dell. But ya can call me Engineer. Listen here will ya? We're here for one reason and that's to get back our co-worker to fulfill his obligations to his contract. We ain't got much time left but Heavy seems to be set on helping y'all. But since the rest of our team hasn't returned yet, we got some time to spare. Might as well get rid of yer little monster problem while we're here. If ya need help fixin' yer problems that is." Engineer said to Princess Celestia.

"I will gladly accept your help. But know that what we're facing is not a 'little monster'. It's a terrifying beast sent out to slaughter and destroy everything in its path." Princess Celestia replied.

"Woo hee! That sounds like mah ex-wife." Engineer joked. "Don't worry, whatever it is. We can solve it."

"Where are others of team?" Heavy asked Engineer.

"They've been sent to retrieve the guy that put us all in this damn situation. Spy's tracking him down with the others. That ugly goat guy ya remember?" Engineer answered.

"Are you talking of Discord? Surely you aren't going to confront him with just three people? He's an extremely powerful magical being. But recently he's gotten insane and mad with power and will stop at nothing to see his goals completed. He's an absolute lunatic!" Princess Celestia warned the RED team.

"He he he." Engineer chuckled. "Ya just basically described Pyro to me. And (s)he's one of the guys going after uhh... 'Discord'. Let them worry about that and let us worry about yer little problem alright? Now, what is this monster anyway?" Engineer asked.

And right at this moment the lambent-Alduin monstrosity arrived at the edge of the mountain far above them, unleashing a terrifying roar that shook the earth beneath them.

"What the hell is that thing?!" Engineer quickly ran to his Sentry Gun nest and prepared for combat. The rest of the RED squad followed him and so did the group of ponies, taking cover behind the multiple dispensers which kept constantly regenerating them and refilling the RED teams ammo.

Alduin gave another earth-shakening roar and plunged himself down towards the group. He crashed down violently completely reducing him to nothing but a mush of immulsion and dragon scales. But shorty after his entire body started regenerating once again, now even growing a third head. They all shrieked simultaneously and started spewing a small amount of fire towards the group, just to imtimidate. He was angered even further after being denied consuming the dovakhiin's soul. The same way Ulfgar couldn't consume the soul of the Ancient Dragon that was in Equestria much earlier.

"That... is what we're facing." Princess Celestia stated as she saw the shocked faces of the RED team. Nothing they expected to see in a world of happy ponies and bright colors, that's for sure. This monster looked as if it crawled down from the depths of hell itself.

But a target is just another target. The RED and ponies prepared for final battle. Die now and lose everything, or win and hope that things will finally return to normal. That's what they all prayed for. The RED loved their eternal battle with the BLU. And the ponies loved living in harmony and peace. Being surrounded by death was rather... dark. Luckily since they're away from Canterlot now, they're avoiding the meteor storm created by Alduin.

But that didn't mean they were safe. Far from it. The monster was a terrifying sight, completely covered in deadly immulsion and bladed tentacles all over his body. Three heads all with the power to conjure deadly flames without the use of the Thu'um. The final mutations caused Alduin to go completely insane. Nothing of the dragon he once was remains now, only the power and destructive force set out to destroy and annihilate everything did.

"MAGGOTS! GET READY FOR BATTLE!" Soldier shouted at the RED team.

He proceeded to take a shot at the beast using his rocket launcher. The projectiles flew slowly towards the monster but was simply absorbed in its skin without any real impact.

"It's no use." Princess Celestia stated. "The dragon will simply regenerate all the damage done. We need to destroy it with a simultaneous attack from all sides."

Engineer equipped up the Wrangler and took manual control of all his sentries. "Ma'am, that big ol mother hubbard got a world of pain coming towards it."

"Stop! You can't do this alone." Princess Celestia shouted one more time. "We need all our combined power!" She was certain this was the only way, Medic had recovered her up to the point where she would be able to conjure another flaming ball as she did before. Hopefully this time, combined with the REDs firepower it'll be enough.

"Meine freund." Medic approached Heavy. "Are you ready to re-live ze old times?" He said while pointing out the Kritzkrieg was fully charged.

"He he he." Heavy started chuckling. "Njet, is not good idea." He said afterwards.

"What?! Vhy vouldn't you want ze ubercharge?" Medic said confused.

"Sasha. She is strong but not strong enough to crush puny dragon. You must use it on someone else." The Russian replied.

"Ughh, Demoman! Get over here!" Medic shouted annoyed.

"Njet, not Demoman either."

"Ze Soldier then?"

Heavy shook his head. "Njet."

"Then what?! Should I just uber das Scout or Engineer hmm? Vill that solve out problems then?" Medic started getting more annoyed by the second.

"Njet. You must use charge on her." Heavy replied as he pointed towards the group of ponies.

"Ze ponies? Are you insane. Zat would be a waste of an ubercharge."

"Njet, trust me doktor. Little ponies are stronger than you might think. Little pony princess is strongest of them all."

"Ughh. I trust your word meine freund. But you better stand ready in case it doesn't work." Medic then left Heavy and started heading to the group of ponies.

"Hello fräuleins! You'd better all get ready for ze finale? We're running out of time you know hmm?"

"Do you humans have a plan then?" Princess Celestia replied.

"Pfft! Dummkopf! Ve don't need a plan. You'll know what to do when it happens." Medic replied confident.

As much Princess Celestia got annoyed by the fact that the humans were underestimating everything in their path, she couldn't just give up. Alduin was right in front of them and had to be stopped. With or without the power of the sun.

"My little ponies. I sincerely apologize for all that happened the last few weeks. I can't help but feeling partly responsible. Yet, today we end this. And normal life will return to Equestria, that I promise. I want you all to get ready to use the Elements power one more time." She asked of the group of ponies.

"Don't blame yourself princess... It's all Discord's fault for the terrible things that happened. And we're always ready to help save Equestria aren't we girls?" Twilight Sparkle turned the the rest of the mane six.

"Ah sure am. Ah have had it up to here with these annoying monsters creepin' around. This has to stop." Applejack stated.

"Yeah! We're always ready Twi! Let's take that big ugly down." Rainbow Dash replied.

"Yes. It's been enough, this madness has to be put to an end." Rarity said confident.

"I'm really scared... But I'm going to help in any way I can. I just really hope nopony gets hurt." Fluttershy peeped.

"Don't worry Fluttershy! I'm sure we got this in the bag and we'll celebrate a HUGE party afterwards!" Pinkie Pie chirped.

"I'm glad you're all still in high spirits. Then lets put a stop to this. Once and for all." Princess Celestia stepped forward, getting ready to attack as she was being followed by Medic who constantly kept firing his medi-gun at her.

But Alduin was the first the attack. He unleashed a powerful attack by breathing deadly fire towards the group. Luckily the group was shielded just in time by a barrier spell created by Twilight Sparkle.

"Pardners... We attack in five, four, three, two, one..." Engineer manually aimed his sentries towards the giant monster and was the first to start the assault. The four Sentry Guns launched a barrage of rockets and deadly bullets towards the dragon.

"MAGGOT! NO ROBOT MONSTERS ROAM AROUND FREELY WHILE I'M IN COMMAND!" Soldier yelled, firing several rockets from his launcher while standing next to a dispenser which kept refilling his ammo.

"They're gonna hafta' bury what's left of ye in a soup can!" Demoman shouted confidently. He wanted to slay this 'dragon' more than any other from the REDs. He already launched eight sticky bombs towards Alduin, which slowlyy sunk within his body. He followed launching several pipe-bombs from his stock grenade launcher.

Scout was there as well! Standing heroicly at the side eating a sandwich. His weapons wouldn't do much good in this situation. He still fired a few rounds from his pistol because WHY THE HELL NOT?

"YAAAAAHAHAHAA!" Heaving was laughing maniacally while firing a endless amount of bullets towards the dragon. With the dispenser next to him he would never have to stop and reload.

The mane six were next to take action. They stood in formation and used to power of the Elements once again to summon a powerful ray of magic to finish of their foes. As a last desperate attempt the magic they conjured together was stronger than usual.

The dragon started shouting in pain, but wasn't even close to getting finished. But they had to follow up with one final powerful attack to finish it up for good.

Princess Celestia stepped forward but before attacking she turned towards the RED Medic. "Are you sure this will work?" She asked.

"Hmm hmm hmm." Medic chuckled. "I have no idea!" He shouted and then proceeded to flick the switch on the Kritzkrieg which activated the ubercharge.

Princess Celestia's heart start beating much more rapidly then normal. Her skin started glowing red and her eyes became bright yellow and 'demonic' like. She also grew in size. She was at least two times larger than normal. At this point she was even bigger than Heavy.

She also felt another thing. Incredible power. Power she had never felt before or even imagined it existed. This was more than the power of a single god. It was the power of multiple gods on a rampage. Even without the sun she felt like she could destroy the entire world.

"Ha ha.... Ha... HAHAHAHHAHAA!" Princess Celestia started laughing maniacally which was a minor side-effect of using the mysterious ubercharge. She was the most powerful being ever created, and nothing could stop her. That's what currently went through her mind.

Her horn started glowing darkish red due to the ubercharge. She attempted to conjure a similair fire spell as she did before in Canterlot.

But what came out was not the same. Where she expected to see a destructive sea of flames. That's not exactly what she got. She got something better.

It appeared she summoned the fire straight from hell as an ENORMOUS orb of fire appeared in front of the ponies and the RED. Its completely engulfed Alduin in its power. But that wasn't all. The power of her spell managed to reduce the mountain where Canterlot stood atop on to nothingness. Also a large part of the Everfree Forest suffered from her attack. A final shriek of nothing but pain and suffering could be heard faintly. The sky at this moment started turning back to its normal color and the meteors simply ceased to excist.

One more small explosion could be heard as well from the Demoman activating his sticky bombs. But it was useless.

Because there was nothing left.

Everything that was in front of them was gone. Alduin, the mountain and even the ruins of Canterlot. Reduced to absolutely nothing. No ashes nor debris. There was nothing at all.

Princess Celestia turned back to her normal size and color after the ubercharge lost effect on her. She started breathing heavily, exhausted from the events that just occured.

"D-did I do this?" She asked confused.

But no one answered. Everyone and everypony was speechless. Alduin is beaten.

But Heavy was the one breaking the silence as he approached his good friend the Medic. "I told you little pony princess is strong." He grinned.

"Ja..." Medic answered flabbergasted. He quickly removed every thought of ever dissecting Celestia away from his mind.

Scout already started scouting the area. Looking if he could find anything interesting among the destruction just caused by a magical pony. It was hard to believe, but stranger things have happened.

He already sprinted half a mile when something caught his attention. It was the man who did not fear any flames.

Dovakhiin.

Pyro, Spy and Sniper in pursuit of Discord. A bit earlier.

"Oi. I don't like these bloody caves one bit." Sniper complained. They were entering Discord's hide-out which was hidden rather close to Canterlot. They'd never expected him to be there.

"Mmppph!" Pyro was suddenly attacked by a flock of bats. So he did what he does best. Burn them.

"Gentlemen. Zhere is no time to complain. We're on a tight schedule unless you vant Saxton to beat you guys up again." Spy stated.

"Why the hell do you care? Ya were hiding in a corner with that damn watch of yours when we were being slaughtered by that bloody shark!" Sniper complained once again.

"Zhat is why I said; You guys." Spy answered while flicking his Spy-cicle.

"Mmppphh!" Pyro gestured his teammates that he heard something in the distance.

"THESE DAMN HUMANS!" Discord was violently slamming his fists on his desk. "They're ruining everything I worked so hard for."

"Gentlemen. I believe ve have found our target." Spy whispered.

Luckily Discord hasn't noticed yet he was being invaded. His anger made him blind for the things happening around him. "No... It doesn't matter. There's already three dead... Yes... I'll just summon more monsters to destroy Equestria!" He shouted.

*POOF*

Discord was hit on the back of his head by the Pyro's frying pan.

"Take this bloody wanker with us. I can't wait to get home again." Sniper said to his teammates.

But Discord wasn't knocked out and backed away cowardly. "More humans? Why do you keep ruining everything!" He shouted.

"Monsieur. I don't care one single bit about your intentions. All I can say is zhat you're coming vith us for... 'proper punishment'." Spy chuckled.

"You're all idiots! You have no idea what you're dealing with." Discord prepared to defend himself against the three REDs.

"I'll give him the ol' chop-chop." Sniper said as he pulled out his large bowie knife. The Bushwacka.

"Ignorant fools! I'll make sure you all burn to death." Discord shouted and started conjuring flames to attack his enemies.

Pyro heroicly stepped forward. He also is one that does not fear any flames. In fact, he embraced it.

But the Sniper and Spy didn't move a muscle. They also appeared to gladly accept the violent flames heading towards him.

"Mon dieu. You are ze fool." Spy equipped the Spy-cicle which made him invulnerable to fire for a brief moment.

Sniper on the other hand was lit on fire, but managed to extinguish himself immediatly by using one of the many Jarate's he had.

"Mmppphh!" Pyro was quite angry. With the Degreaser and Flare gun equipped he approached the draconequus.

"Don't get near me you violent brutes!" Discord shouted and prepared to teleport himself away. He prepared to snap his finger but was interupted as he suddenly got shot by an arrow right to the knee.

The Sniper quickly shot him using the Huntsman.He knew that magicians are annoying. The RED had to deal with Merasmus before after all.

Discord pulled out the arrow with his own strength. "Do you think I'll simply give up everything I've worked so hard for? Don't you understand I'm doing this for the well being of all?"

"Mate, kidnapping people doesn't sound like you're helping them." Sniper replied while approaching Discord with his knife. He gave him a clean cut right across the face.

Pyro and Spy came next attempting to subdue the draconequus. But Discord managed to spook them away by conjuring another magic spell. This time it was ice instead of fire.

Pyro did not like ice at all, so he stepped aside. Spy meanwhile fled to the shadows, waiting for his moment to strike.

Sniper at this moment started firing more arrows towards Discord, but in vain as he reflected them back in all random directions.

Sniper and Pyro were lucky enough to avoid the arrows heading towards them, but the RED Spy who was invisible wasn't so lucky. He was hit directly in his gut. After the arrow penetrated his body the invisibilty wore off and he fell on his knees to the ground.

"Spah!" Sniper quickly went to check on his teammate. "I knew we should've brought Medic with us."

"Ah, mon dieu. Zis is nothing, I'll just walk it off." Spy replied as he slowly rose to his feet again.

Meanwhile Discord was now facing Pyro. The RED madman already started firing his flamethrower at the draconequus. But he managed to avoid most of the flames and counterattacked with an ice spell once again. The attack simply froze Pyro's feet to the ground, rendering him useless if he can't move.

"I'll give you one chance to leave this world and leave me to my business! If you're smart enough, you'll take it. I've killed one of you dirty humans before, I'll do it again!" Discord stated.

The REDs who were close to being defeated just grunted in response. They'd never give up. And subdueing Discord was their main priority.

"Well? What's it going to be? Should I just start killing you one by o-" Discord was interupted as a sharp metal object suddeny started penetrating his back.

"I'm affraid you haven't killed anyone monsieur." The person backstabbing him said.

It was Spy. But it wasn't the RED Spy. It was his BLU equal.

Skinny and pale from weeks of hiding in the shadows and barely eating anything. But he was still alive. The morning he woke up that faithful day that Discord transported him and the other BLUs to Equestria he was determined to test out his new Cloak and Dagger. But a good spy never leaves his home without the Dead Ringer. By using this mysterious watch the Spy would be able to feign his own death, leaving a fake body in the process. This is how he escaped Discord weeks ago when he tried to burn him alive.

At the Canterlot wedding? He was there. When the RED Heavy and BLU Sniper received their hats? He was there. When everyone around them suddenly started dying? He was there. When the mane six discussed their final battle plans along with the humans and the Princess of the Sun? He was there.

He was always there, awaiting his chance for revenge. And now the BLU Spy finally had what he desired.

"Mmmppphhh!" Pyro quickly used the Degreaser to melt the ice that was still holding him down. He prepared to instantly attack the BLU mercenary.

"Wait!" He was stopped by the still hurt RED Spy. "Are ze other BLU's here as well?" He asked.

The BLU Spy dropped Discord to the ground. He knew the REDs wanted him alive, and so he did. Barely though. He was relieved it was over, and celebrated by lighting a cigarette. "No. Ze BLU Sniper was here briefly, afterwards he got killed just as the rest of ze BLU. They've most likely respawned already." He answered.

"Ya know what this means right mate?" Sniper asked.

"Oui. I'll be looking forward to our games again." The BLU Spy replied and tossed his cigarette away.

Seconds after he was burned alive by the RED Pyro. Sending him back to respawn at Earth.

"Alright mates. Lets get this ugly guy back to Engi's camp and then we're finally heading home." Sniper stated. He and Pyro dragged the draconequus with them while the RED Spy was slowly limping behind them since he was still pretty hurt.

As they left the cave they were greeted by the warming presence of the sun that has finally risen.

__________________________________

Back at the REDs temporary camp.

Princess Celestia who was fully recovered once again thanks to the Medic's medi-gun had finally risen the sun, celebrating their victory.

"Anyway. How did you humans know where to find us?" Twilight Sparkle asked the Engineer. He seemed to be the only one capable of having a normal conversation.

"Ya see. We've been tracking Heavy's weapons for a while now. But he traced it at some other place, ah guess it was just before you left. It was in some crazy town named Ponyville, ya know it?" Engineer responded.

"Yeah, that's where we were before." Twilight Sparkle answered sheepishly.

"So anyway. We jus' couldn't figure out where in tarnation that big lovable giant was hanging out after that. And the town was deserted, so we couldn't ask anyone."

"Then what happened?"

"Ya see... Solly over there accidently blew up one of the civilians houses. Don't worry though, we left a brief-case filled with 700.000 dollars to compensate for the damage done."

"Dollars?" Twilight Sparkle was confused.

"Anyway... The explosion appareantly scared some weird blue unicorn. She had a pretty amazing hat though."

"A blue unicorn you say? What was she doing if I may ask?"

"Ah can't tell for sure. But ah think she was plundering some houses. Left some weird tree-like building with like a million books."

"Are you saying someone broke in to my library?"

"Ah don't know. Don't like to question some things. She was nice enough to send us in this direction so we just left her to her business. Solly was in command, so if ya want to complain, go to him."

"No I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that. I'm really grateful that you guys helped us save Equestria. Just Discord remains now. And I really hope that my books are okay..."

The conversation ended there as something in the distance caught their attention. It was the RED Scout. Dragging something along with him.

The ponies were shocked as they saw it was the lifeless body of Ulfgar the fearless.

Heavy let out a large sigh. He knew this was coming as the dovakhiin told him this before. He longed for the plains of Sovngarde rather than remaining in this world. He hoped to take down Alduin with just one final blow, or at least greatly damage him. Fortunatly his effort weren't for nothing as it allowed the ponies and Heavy to regroup with the RED and take on Alduin in his place.

Scout was now right next to the group. He stopped dragging the lifeless corpse and dropped the horned helmet he was carrying as well."This your friend?" He asked.

"Da. He is great man. Heavy will not forget him, or comrade Carmine." The Russian stated.

He turned towards the ponies who were tearing up upon seeing the lifeless body of their friend. The dovakhiin's left arm was completely torn of. His armor shredded to pieces by the bladed tentacles and a large gash across his chest. He also he had several severe burn wounds from the immulsion. Yet he still grasped his greatsword with his other hand firmly. Even in death.

"Little ponies should not cry. Dragon-man was good man. He did all this to help you. Honor him and don't forget. Same goes for comrade Carmine. Give them glorious funeral." Heavy said while directly facing Princess Celestia.

"That can be arranged. Their efforts to help us save Equestria will never be forgotten. Even after my lies they both continued helping for the greater good. They're both good men, I did not expect that upon first seeing you three." Princess Celestia responded.

"Looks can deceive..." The Russian said silently. "Heavy will never forget them."

A distant whistle could suddenly be head, grabbing the attention of all those at the temporary RED base camp.

It was Sniper whistling loudly while dragging a shackled Discord towards them along with Pyro. Spy was also there, but quite a bit behind them.

Princess Celestia was shocked upon seeing this and turned to the RED Engineer. "You humans actually managed to subdue Discord with just the three of them?"

"Yep. Told ya it'd be no biggy." Engineer laughed. "Good going guys. Lets get ready to go home." He shouted excitedly.

All the ponies problems were solved. In the spawn of just a few hours. All thanks to a strange team calling themselves the 'Reliable Excavation Demolition'.

"Wait... What are you planning to do with him?" Princess Celestia asked. "Are you going to kill him?"

"Well it's true that since this ugly goat-guy was meddling with our affairs he falls under our jurisdiction. But killing him? No, ya think so bad of us." Engineer responded.

"Then what are you going to do?" Princess Celestia wondered.

"Something much worse..." Engineer responded dark. "We'll be able to strip him of his magic, then we'll link him to the respawn making him immortal. Then we'll set him free."

"That doesn't sound like a very good idea..." Princess Celestia responded.

"Let me finish please ma'am. We're letting him free right on our battlefield with the BLUs. He'll endure suffering worse than ya can imagine just from being around us. And good ol' Saxton Hale can always use a new punching bag. Ahm sure he'll like this gift." Engineer smirked and left Princess Celestia with this information. He then proceeded to build his teleporter entrance so that the REDs can all return safely with their prisoner.

"So ah guess you're going home Heavy?" Applejack asked the large Russian.

"Da. Heavy does not belong here. And I have contract to fulfill. Is all really complicated." Heavy explained with a sigh.

"Aw shucks. Ya don't have to explain it to me. Ahm just really glad for yer help at the farm and all ya humans for helping us save Equestria. We couldn't have done it without y'all. We'll miss ya." Applejack said smiling.

"Thank you Apple-pony. Heavy will miss all ponies as well. But it is better that I leave." Heavy said.

"Are you sure you guys want to leave without having a great super awesome fun party?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Ha! Party would be nice, but is not the time. This is not farewell little ponies." Heavy said excitedly.

"It's not?" Rarity asked.

"Njet! One day Heavy will return with team. Then you will create glorious hats for us all!" He answered while grinning.

"He he he. That would be nice yes. I'll be looking forward to it." Rarity replied pleased.

"Know that after your heroic actions you're all always welcome in our world. Just let us know in advance so we can prepare." Princess Celestia couldn't help but chuckle a little. "Also I know you're not friends with the BLU Sniper, but could you please let him know we're all extremely grateful for this efforts."

"Da. BLU Sniper is not friend back home, but in ponies world he is. I will let him know." Heavy answered.

Meanwhile the three remaining REDS arrived at the base still holding a shackled Discord who hasn't said a word ever since he got captured. He just stared intensely with massive amounts of hatred towards Princess Celestia.

"Teleporter up!" Engineer stated he finished building.

Princess Celestia approached the RED Engineer once again. "I will allow you to take Discord to your realm. I trust you with that responsibility. But know that he is a dangerous individual and he might be able to deceive you even without his magic. Never lose your eyes on him." She warned him.

"Don't worry ma'am. There's no escaping where we come from. It's completely secluded. Y'all just worry about rebuilding yer town and whatnot." Engineer responded.

"I believe you. Could you please allow me to have some final words with him?" Celestia asked.

"Go ahead. By the way, y'all can keep the dispenser and sentries I made. Maybe they'll be useful in the future. Set up some solid defenses ya know?" Engineer replied.

"I appreciate the offer. But with Discord out of the way I'm certain we can finally live in peace and harmony once again." Princess Celestia said relieved. She then turned towards Discord as the other REDs and ponies left them in private.

"No matter how much they'll let you suffer. It won't be enough for the actions you've caused." She said angrily at the draconequus.

"Hmm hmm... If you could just realise how foolish you're sounding right now." Discord chuckled.

"I don't care for your words anymore Discord. Its over."

"No... It's just the beginning. I tried to help you all, give you a quick clean death. But you and these filthy humans wouldn't allow me. You'll realise what you've caused soon enough. Now I just don't care for it anymore. You have forsaken them all, not me!"

"There's nothing but lies coming from your tongue. Farewell Discord." Princess Celestia left with this final words.

"Yes... Farewell Celetia." Discord mumbled.

At this moment Pyro and Soldier grabbed the draconequus and dragged him with them towards the teleporter. All the other REDs started gathering around as well.

Heavy prepared to say his final goodbye. The others weren't here long enough to care about it.

"Live glorious lives little ponies. Heavy will not forget what he learned here. And ponies don't ever forget what happened. Ever. It makes you stronger." He said. "Goodbye little ponies. Until we meet again."

The RED level four teleporter was fully charged and got ready for a mass teleportation back to 2fort.

"Goodbye Heavy!" Several farewells and goodbyes could be heard from the mane six and Princess Celestia. Heavy was a strange man. A dangerous one. But he was their friend and they will not forget him. Ever. Just as he asked of them.

The teleporting device lights grew more bright and it started spinning more rapidly. Just a mere second before the RED will get sent back to their own world. Along with their prisoner; Discord.

But before the teleporter did its job one final shout could be heard.

"YOU HAVE DOOMED THEM ALL CELESTIA!" Discord shouted at the top of his lungs just a second before vanishing along with the rest of RED.

The teleporter blew into a million pieces seconds afterwards. Blocking the path between the two worlds.

Princess Celestia turned to her beloved subjects. "My little ponies. Please don't listen to Discord, you won't have to fear him anymore. Today has been a dark day for Equestria. Canterlot is no more, but we will rebuild it! From this day on, life will finally return back to normal."

And right on queue a massive earthquake trembled everything around them. Something was happening, something strange. A magical force started creating an entirely different world around them.

Slowly a castle-like building appeared right below them as they were suddenly on a strange balcony overlooking the sun. Where Canterlot and the mountain once stood is now a strange looking fortress leading towards an even larger castle behind a mountain. The entire Everfree Forest was affected by this strange happening as well.

"W-what's going on?!" Rainbow Dash asked shocked.

Fluttershy suddenly collapsed to the ground. "I...I don't feel so good anymore."

"Now that you mention it... I feel pretty strange as well. As if my entire stomach got emptied all of a sudden." Twilight Sparkle said.

"What... What is this?" Princess Celestia was just as confused.

All of a sudden an enormous red dragon flew above the group. Spouting violent flames towards a bridge where multiple wooden and iron armored 'beings' were idling. The dragon burned everything in its path and proceeded to guard the bridge.

The dragon slightly resembled an Equestrian dragon. But it was much larger and violent than most of them.

"Hey everypony look! Ulfgar is still alive." Pinkie Pie suddenly shouted.

The group watched in awe as they say the seemingly lifeless body of the dovakhiin make some awkard movements. He slowly rose up to his feet, still missing an left arm. But he still held the greatsword in his other hand tightly.

He did not speak nor did his face show any expression. In fact, his eyes were completely dark. Hollow.

The dovakhiin slowly started awkardly moving towards the group of ponies dragging the blade behind him.

"Ulfgar! Snap out of it!" Princess Celestia shouted.

But what Ulfgar ever was, nothing remained. There was just the mindless being standing in front of them. He prepared to slice the ponies in half.

The ponies all backed up, closing their eyes. Quickly preparing for this unexpected attack. But it was never needed.

A loud crackling noise soared through the air. A spear, completely made of sunlight penetrated the dovakhiin's back from behind him. It completely incinerated his body from within.

There he stood. Solaire of Astora. The one that now ended the legend of the dovakhiin. It should be mentioned that he was in his normal form, not as a spirit.

He approached the group of ponies. "Why young maidens? Why would you dispose of the gatekeeper?" He asked.

"The gatekeeper... You mean?" Twilight Sparkle was still pretty shocked by what just happened.

"Yes, the one you call Discord. Now you've made the link between your world and mine even stronger." Solaire replied.

"What does that mean?" Princess Celestia asked shocked.

"It means that you're all undead now. Those are the laws of Lordran." Solaire explained with a sigh.

_______________________________

Slightly earlier. The Great and Powerful Trixie. A hiding place on an island.

Trixie had upon finding out about Ponyville's evacuation sneaked inside the town and plundered Twilight Sparkle's library in search of a certain book. Trixie knew all of these humans and their powers. Trixie wanted her own to serve her. A pony as great as her deserves that. That's what she thought at least.

"Yes Twilight! The Great and Powerful TRIXIE knows everything! And I'm certain a powerful unicorn such as Trixie will only be able to bring even an even stronger 'human' than that annoying purple unicorn got walking around. YES! Trixie will show that good for nothing brat!" Trixie was pretty determined.

She prepared her spell the same way Twilight Sparkle did. But at the same moment the changes around Equestria started happening. She suddenly was trapped in a small prison cell surrounded by nothing but rats and skeletons. Trixie backed off frightened upon seeing this, but not before finishing her spell.

A man in his thirties with long brown hair and a rough beard appeared before her. His eyes were showing nothing but determination. He also had several large scars across his face.

The man was confused. He quickly unbuttoned his upper body wear. Now he was even more confused because the bullet wounds were still there. The last thing he remembered was being gunned down. Is this death? The man did not know, but took no time to question it. He quickly checked his equipment. He still had all of his weapons, but there was one extra thing.

A small ring in his pocket. Engulfed with small flames that did not seem to harm the man. For some reason it seemed to be calling out for him. He quickly put the ring back in his pocket. He then proceeded to sit down on the dirty prison floor, awaiting what would happen next.

"Uhh, excuse me human? The Great and Powerful Trixie has summoned you here to do her bidding! I don't know what's going on exactly, but you have to get us out of here." Trixie asked the man.

The man turned around. There was a small blue talking horse right in front of him. But he couldn't put his mind away from the events that just happened before his death, so he did not question it for now. He could only think of his wife and son.

He slowly rose his head looking up to the ceiling as a sound caught his attention. Suddenly the corpse of a horribly disgusting undead like being was dropped down.

The man looked up to the ceiling where there was a small opening. A warrior fully dressed in Elite Knight armor appeared to have dropped the corpse down from there.

"Hello! We're stuck here! Would you mind helping to get us out of here?" Trixie shouted.

But the knight also didn't respond and simply left the scene. The other man in the prison meanwhile started investigating the corpse that was just dropped down. There was a key attached. The man immediatly tried it out on the prison cell door and just as expected it worked.

The man picked up his hat and along with Trixie they slowly made their way outside the prison cell, wondering what they would be facing next in this dark dungeon.

Brace yourselves, for Lordran has come to Equestria.

Prepare to Die.

_______________________________

Final author notes; Well there it is. The ending. I'm honestly surprised no one had figured out I was planning a sequel all along. Come on guys, you think I just randomly bring up the Dark Souls universe just for fun?

So yeah, the sequel will feature 3 new 'heroes'. Solaire of Astora. The guy at the ending of this chapter. (If you can guess him I'll confirm it.) And another one which you'll never guess. I might add a fourth... since this story had four humans, but you'll have to try really hard to convince me.

The story will mainly feature Dark Souls obviously.

Why? Because Dark Souls to me is the best game I've had the honor of playing in years. I absolutely love it and I will honor it. It will also be a lot darker since I'm going to try and write something slightly more serious. Though, I'll have some comedy at appropriate times.

And since this story is finished I might as well get the cat out of the bag. I don't like Skyrim. Or wait, let me rephrase that. I was severely dissapointed by Skyrim. I like the lore, I like the characters. But I despise the gameplay. What I also like about Skyrim is doing absolutely nothing while walking in the big open world and listen to this tune.

Might as well say something about Gears of War and TF2.

Gears of war: I love this game, and to me GoW is the face of the Xbox 360. Not Halo. (I don't like Halo.) Although the multiplayer got boring after a while. I don't think there's enough variety. Didn't care much for Horde and Beast mode either. Always liked the Carmine's though.

Team Fortess 2: I'm hopelessly addicted to this game. I love everything about it. I've started playing it ever since it became free to play and I regret every year I wasted not playing it earlier. This is my kind of multi-player game. Fun fact. Heavy and Sniper are my least played classes. I main Solly and Spy. ( I also still want to do a 100% TF2 crossover in the future since those guys are hilarious. )

And yeah, I bought Skyrim and Dark Souls in the same week. (Release day) Guess which game I kept playing?

Anyway, I want to give everyone who ever read, liked or favorited this story a big thanks. I was extremely hesitant towards uploading my first chapter at first. But for some reason I decided; Hey why the fuck not? If it sucks, it sucks!

But appareantly it didn't and I got many positive replies! That is the reason this story made it past 100k words. Because you people were interested. And that gave me the motivation to continue. So I can't thank you guys enough for that, because I have thoroughly enjoyed writing every chapter of this story.

When will the sequel come? That's a very good question. I have no idea yet. I'm still doing a lot of research. ( Dark Souls lore is pretty complicated and I'd like to stay as loyal to it as I possibly can.) Plus I need to replay some other games in order to write the characters I have planned well. I hope you're looking forward to it, because I sure as hell am.

Once again, thank you all very much! And hopefully I'll see you again in the future.

I'll leave you with this.

Chapter one. Death.

Location: Sera.

Azura. A stronghold surrounded by a giant man-made hurricane called The Maelstrom. Only the best scientists and COG elite resided here, protected by a group that called themself the Onyx Guards. The scientists would develop weapons of mass destruction to possibly end the war. But thats not important right now, nearly everyone that lived here is now dead. Not long ago, the locust horde (a race of monstrous humanoid creatures that lived below the surface for years) overran the island causing the acting leader Chairman Prescott and a few of his soldiers to flee by submarine. The locust killed everyone apart from one man, Adam Fenix. A scientist that developed the Hammer of Dawn. A COG imulsion-energized orbital satellite-based laser capable of destroying entire cities within seconds. He was presumed dead my most people. But in reality kidnapped by Prescott and held prisoner for possibly conspiring with the locusts.

Queen Myrrah, leader of the locust approached the scientist whom she trusted slightly as he was the only human to ever attempt a more peaceful way to end the war. She asked him to develop a weapon that would destroy a third party. The lambent.

The lambent were creatures (both human and locust) mutated from prolonged exposure to imulsion. Imulsion was a bright yellow liguid, mostly used for fuel on Sera, but Adam Fenix found out it was infact a highly volatile, low-viscosity fluid based parasite.

Adam Fenix was during his captivity by the locust able to make contact with Delta Squad, and his son Marcus Fenix, the group also travelled through the Maelstrom by submarine. When they arrived they fought fought the locust armies, deactivating the Maelstrom device while being guided by Adam Fenix. Allowing more reinforcements to come. On the way he told them about the newly developed weapon, He developed an energy wave that, like a neutron bomb, that will destroy any cell infected by imulsion, he mentioned that he tried to help save the locust but could not in time. Meaning all life infected by imulsion would perish including the locust as they've been exposed with it for who knows how long underground. And some unlucky human miners perhaps.

The battle continued as Marcus Fenix and Delta squad faced off against Queen Myrrah herself at the top of Pinaccle Tower. Accompanied by a Tempest. A giant flying bug-like locust creature. This is where our hero comes in the picture.

"EAT DIRT AND DIE MOTHERFUCKER!"

Private first class Clayton 'Clay' Carmine yelled firing a chain gun mounted aboard a King Raven helicopter. He shouted once more.

"TAKE THAT YOU BITCH!"

The queen was affected by this slightly and ducked to cover but it was a minor inconvenience for the giant Tempest. It enraged and turned towards the King Raven creating a beam surrounded by bright flash that blinded the Pilot. It also appeared to BURN half the chopper.

"OH SHIT! SHIT! WE'RE ON FIRE!"

Carmine shouted. The Raven was circling and it started to crash down.
"NO! CARMINE! EVERYONE, LETS TAKE THIS BITCH DOWN"! was the last he heard before he blacked out.

Later.

"Ughh, my head" Carmine rubbed his neck.

"Wait, what? WHERE IS MY HELMET!"

He took a moment to breath and noticed the burning wreckage of his helicopter before him, Carmine peeked inside the shattered windows and saw the COG pilot lifeless burning body.

"Eww." Carmine reached to his neck and grabbed the COG-tag.

"Rest in peace man." He said as he put the COG-tag with the others he collected inside a pocket of his armor. He looked around around once more and saw he was on the beach.

"Not bad."

He noticed a COG soldier lying on the ground a about thirty yards from him, still moving. He also noticed his precious helmet slowly floating with the current of the sea. Carmine stepped towards it, rubbed of the dirt and quickly put it back on, then turned towards the soldier groaning on the ground, More Ravens filled the air, Carmine signalled them down as he helped the COG soldier up.

"Come on buddy. We're still alive!" Carmine said happily unknowing he was being followed by a shadowy figure.

Carmine arrived at the point most of the scattered forces were gathering. Infront of the hotel where the scientists resided before the locust took over. He noticed Marcus and Anya sitting at the beach and the rest of Delta squad at a gazebo, he walked towards them and was greeted by Cole.

"Oh shit, We thought you were dead man."

"Nah, I'm pretty tough." Carmine knocked at his chest armor at the place he had the words 'Keep your head down' written.Cole laughed.

"True dat, Im gonna go there in the hotel, seems like they got some good shit in there."

"Wait, I was blacked out! What the hell happened? Did we win?"

Cole didnt respond as he took off.

"Well fuck." Carmine sighed. "Yo Marcus, what the hell is goin.."

He was interupted as Baird slapped him on the back of his helmet.

"What the F dude?" Carmine said confused.

"Cant you see they're having a touching moment?" Baird responded angrily. Carmine was confused once more.

"Why? Whats going on? What happened? We killed the Queen? Did we end the war?

Carmine kept rambling for a good minute much to Bairds annoyance.

"JUST SHUT UP OKAY?" Baird yelled. "Short version, queen is dead, lambent are dead, locusts should be dead." Baird grew more irritated by the second. "Fuck sake. Dom is dead, and so is Marcus his father. Now can you PLEASE shut the fuck up?"

"Ewww." Carmine thought to himself but then he realised Baird was acting more serious rather then his usual sarcastic self.

"Well fuck, Im gonna follow Cole and see what the good shit is he was talking about." He said. Baird just grunted some insults.

Carmine entered the hotel. Years in the COG army have trained him to have eagle-like vision and noticed an shadow quickly vanishing back in the hotel. He pulled out his Mk 2 Lancer Assault Rifle. "Cole! You in there?"

The moment he shouted every trace of the shadow completly vanished. He slowly moved forward to where he saw this 'thing' however midway was rudely interupted by a overly excited Cole.

"Shit son! They got jacuzzi's in here!"

"Hey Cole, I think I saw someth.....Jacuzzi's?"

"Yeah man, first floor, almost every room."

"Well shit man lets get going."

"It's go time baby. WHOOOO"

"Wait wait. I think I saw something when I got in here."

"Nah man, you ain't seen nothing, Them locust bastards are dead, and so are the glowies. Besides, we cleared the place earlier before the big showdown."

"I'll take your word then. Lets go!"

Both COG soldiers arrived at the first floor. Cole entered the first room smiling. "Aight, Im taking this room. And you aint coming with me so pick your own."

Carmine entered the room next to him. Only to face a pile of locust corpses rotting. "Bwwgghh." Carmine felt like he needed to puke. "God damn that smells bad."

He entered atleast eight more rooms and encountered similair situations. More bodies. Either locust, lambent and in one case human skeletons.

"Fuck sake. Just one more room then I'm out."

He entered the final room of the hallway. Surprisingly enough it didnt smell that bad. Well it did, but not nearly as bad as the other rooms. There was just one locust grenadier corpse. Carmine simply picked up the seven ft monster and threw it out the window. Didnt even bother to open it.

"I deserve some time to relax, How many times did I nearly died the past few days. 5-6 times? Maybe more!" He entered the bathroom. Took a good look at the glorious jacuzzi. It was the biggest he'd ever seen.

"Man these scientists lived pretty good while I was sleeping on the floor and showering in the rain. In the end they're dead and im alive ha!" he thought to himself. He opened the valves and felt the hot water flowing from the faucet.

"Sweet merciful gods, warm water!"

He put his Lancer, Gnasher Shotgun and 2 frag grenades down next to the tub,where a convenient table was placed. He looked around once more and spotted a boombox! He stepped in the tub. Didnt bother to take of his armor and helmet. Oh no, This way he would be able to wash himself and his armor! Logic right? He was messing around with the COG boombox while relaxing in the bathtub and finally was able to get the device to work. He pressed the ON button and was immediatly startled as the radio blasted out 'The Cole Train Rap' on its highest volume. Carmine nearly dropped the boombox in the water which might've potentially killed him. Not today though! He cheated death once again today, but was unaware of a shadowy figure facepalming in the dooropening. Carmine placed the radio next to his guns on the conveniently placed table and continued to listen to the music. Thinking of what to do now the war is over. First of all, He hoped it'd be easier to acces bacon. His favorite meal.

"Yes yes. A lot of bacon." He said to himself. Next up. Repopulating Sera. People want to rebuild civilization. "With Dom dead, I might have a chance with Sam!" Carmine grinned. Even though he was prepared to trade her for bacon not a few days ago. Carmine relaxed, laid back and said out loud. "Yep, its all gonna be smooth sailing from here on out!"

That moment the shadowy emerged from the darkness revealing himself.

It spoke. "This is just to easy."

Carmine eyes-widened responded. "WHAT. THE. HELL. ARE. YOU?!"

"Oh, I'm a Draconequus, and you. Human is it. Are you prepared to spread chaos.?

Carmine was confused again. "No man! I mean...You've got fucking outlines. Like a cartoon! Are you a cartoon?"

"Wait? What? Silence!" the creature drew closer towards Carmine and put its 'arm' around the humans shoulder. "You are just part one in my ultimate three step plan to finally conquer Equestria and .... Wait why am I telling you this?!" the draconequus took a step back as a wicked grin appeared on his face, he looked down towards the boombox which was still playing. Before Carmine could react, the creature simply pushed the device in the bathtub. Electrocuting Clay Carmine. The draconequus laughed maniacly as the soldier screamed in agony.

"Alright next one, Tamriel, Skyrim." The creature facepalmed once more. "Oh how do they come up with these names?"

Ten minutes later Cole discovered the lifeless body of Private first class Clayton Carmine.

___________________________________________________________________________

Location: Tamriel, Skyrim.

The Dovakhiin. A mortal born with the soul and blood of a dragon. The Dovah Sos. Gods would favor an individual with this 'gift' regardless of race granting them the power to absorb dragon souls and gain their knowlegde when slain. They would wield the Thu'um. Dragon Shouts. A form of arcane magic. There are different kind of shouts. Some would call upon the elements to aid him in battle. Others were just pure destructive force. The Dovakhiin were rare and would only appear once per era.

The current Dovakhiin was a nordic man named Ulfgar. He held no clan name as he grew up in an orphanage. Never knowing his parents.

Yet his heroic actions of the past months have granted him the title: The Fearless! so he no longer faces the humilation of being nameless. A month now has passed since he had slain the dragon Alduin. The world eater.

An elder scroll used on him in the past was thought to banish him in time forever. Yet he showed up in the fourth era reviving the dragons across Skyrim and planned to destroy the world once more.

The Dovakhiin faced the dragon in the nordic afterlife. Sovngarde. Alongside the three heroes that once fought the Dragon in the past. It was an intense battle with meteors falling from the sky. The intense heat of the dragon flames nearly burning the heroes alive. But with the power of the Thu'um the Dragonborn and his allies celebrated victory in the end. Finally banishing Alduin for good?

So weeks have passed now, but there are still dragons roaming around Skyrim. But with Alduins demise, they were no longer immortal.

The Dovakhiin was since Kodlak Whitmane's death also named Harbringer of the Companions. A group of the toughest soldiers and fighters across Skyrim. They carried on the traditions of Ysgramor and the original five hundred Companions. Though they would exist without a leader. All of them have sworn their loyalty to the dragonborn and are prepared to listen to his commands. The dovakhiin and the companions would continue to hunt down and slay every dragon untill they would cease to excist. For the safety of Skyrim.

Ulfgar arrived at the top of High Hrothgar after an exhausting seven-thousand steps uphill.

"By the gods..." He couldnt even master to finish his sentence due to his heavy breathing. Ulfgar used to go by horse, but at least four have died since joining him. One devoured by a dragon, the other got clubbed to death by a giant. And the last two because of the Dovakhiin reckless riding skills. They fell of a mountain okay! so he thought it'd be to expensive and rather cruel to send another one towards their doom.

Ulfgar entered the building and approached one of the Greybeards.

"Master Arngeir. Have you located any new words of power?" The dovakhiin asked,

"We have felt the whispers of a word. give me your map and I'll show you where its echoes can be found." The old Greybeard responded.

Ulfgar sighed. "This again...You know I've travelled across skyrim a million times now, you can just tell me its location!"

Arngeir frowned and replied.

"High Gate ruins..." Arngeir was interupted by Ulfgar.

"High gate! Thats near Solitude right? No problem! I'll be on my way now then."

And with that the Dovakhiin took off, excited of what adventures would be ahead, words of power usually were guarded by ancient nords called Draugrs. Sometimes he would encounter bandits, dragon priests and actual skeletal dragons guarding these old tombs. Ulfgar left High Hrothgar only to be greeted by those dreaded seven-thousand steps once again. He mumbled angrily.

"Bloody Odahviing to lazy to carry me around for a bit."

A good four hours later the Dovakhiin arrived at Ivarstead. A town right at the bottom of the stairs. He encountered a frost troll on the way. Ulfgar quickly sliced its neck to avoid any further exhaustion. Slightly covered in its blood he approached a carriage on his knees, crawling and out of breath.

The dragonborn tried to pull up his legs which felt as they were ten times heavier then normal. The iron armor didn't help either. He threw down his weapons and sat down in the carriage.

"You! Solitude. Sleep. No talking!" The dovakhiin yawned at the rider.

The rider frowned at him. Ulfgar noticed this. Sighed, and threw him a small bag of gold.

"Right away sir!" He responded.

The next morning the carriage dropped off Ulfgar at a farm nearby Solitude. His legs were still soar, but it was bearable. He didnt feel like actually entering the town with the civil war still going on and whatnot. Plus he had a 5 gold bounty in solitude for stealing a sweetroll. A hold guard suddenly approached him.

"Favor a steel sword, do ya? Good choice for slashing or stabbing." The guard said.

"You have a fine eye sir." The dragonborn said excited.

"This is steel forged at the Skyforge by the greatest blacksmith in all of Skyrim. Eorlund Gray-Mane!" the dovakhiin held up large greatsword.

"No lollygagging!"

"But I wasnt ..." Ulfgar now confused.

"Disrespect the law, you disrespect me!"

"This isnt even making any sense I shou.."

"Watch the skies traveller."

"We arent having a real conversation are we?"

"I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the.."

"FUS RO DAH!" A massive thunder echoed throughout the mountains as the guard was launched by an invisible shockwave of pure force. It launched him atleast fifty ft further safely into the water.

The draconequus which has now arrived in Skyrim looked at this display of massive power and rubbed his hands evilish. "Good good." It said.

"Hold guards were always strange, but this is getting ridiculous." Ulfgar thought to himself.

He proceeded to walk towards a higher point to properly think out his travel plan step by step. He peeked over the edge of a cliff revealing the beautiful landscape of Skyrim, filled with snowy mountains, surrounded by forests and a green-white tundra. The Dovakhiin gently plucked some grass from the ground. He released them from his hand as he watched them gently floating on the wind towards the right. He kneeled down, sucked on his index finger a bit and held it in the air. The Dovakhiin came to a sudden realisation.

"I have no idea what im doing." He shrugged.

"Maybe I should've let the old man mark my map...Ah well, don't care. An adventure without a destination is still an adventure."

Ulfgar decided he would go for the mountains. Dragons liked mountains, and every dragon slain makes Skyrim a safer place.

The Dovakhiin, upon his journey downhill, noticed that more Solitude guards had arrived to retrieve their knocked out colleauge from the water. The guards suddenly turned towards Ulfgar.

"Stop right there criminal scum!"

"Oh for Talos sake." Ulfgar sheathed his sword.

"You are accused of thievery and acts of violence against a protector of the law. How do you plead?"

Ulfgar responded calmly. "Guilty, now let me pay off my debts."

"Assaulting a man of the law. 800 gold. The theft of a sweetroll. 5 gold. That would be a total of 805 gold." The guard held out his hand.

Ulfgar smiled and reached out to his equipment bag. Dragon scales. No. Butterfly wings. No.

"Where the hell is my gold?" Ulfgar was getting nervous at this point.

"It appears I've lost my gold pouch. Can I offer you this lovely necklace instead. Worth atleast sixteen-hundred at the general goods store!"

"You must've stolen that as well! Add it to his bounty. This barbarian is gonna rot in prison for a long time."

"Now wait wait wait just a second!" Ulfgar was not amused.

"I didnt want to do this because I dont like bragging. But I am the Dragonborn!"

The guard spat on the ground. "If criminal scum like you could be the Dovakhiin, then I'm the bloody emperor. Take him away!"

"ARE YOU SERIOUS, SOMEONE MUST'VE SEEN ME USE THE THU'UM LIKE FIVE MINUTES AGO?" The Dovakhiin would show them again. But he wasnt able to do multiple shouts in a row, especially now after walking the seven-thousand steps twice. The strain would crush his body from within.

The guards shackled Ulfgar and in his current state he thought it to be unwise to fight back. A dragon is one thing, but twenty guards at once is no cake-walk either. Besides, he could easily escape the prison later.

___________

The dovakhiin was now in jail, all equipment had been taken from him. He was shackled because the guards learned he was capable of deploying powerful destructive fire, ice and lighting spells. Luckily they still thought he was a madmen, and had no idea he was able to use the Thu'um. They sentenced him to FOUR months in prison. Ridiculous. He knew escaping would be his only way out of here. Just not now. It's to soon. Guards might see it coming. Would be best to wait untill deep in the night. Get some sleep in the meantime.

Ulfgar got up about two in morning. A lound sound woke him up. He looked up, and took in his surroundings. Everything seemed normal, there weren't any guards around. The cells around him were empty just as before. There was just small candle lantern lighting the room combined with the moonlight from a sealed window. It was quiet.

"BY YSGROMAR'S BEARD!" He shouted as he saw a creature emerge from his own shadow. It took shape as a creature with different traits. The claw of a lion, and the other was an eagle. One leg looked reptillian and the other was hooved and furry. Two different wings on its back and two antlers on its head. Its head just looked weird.

"What mad Daedric Prince are you!" Ulfgar said most confused.

"Oh please, dont try to flatter me. All you need to know is that my name is Discord. And the next time you wake up, spread chaos. Well I'm on a tight schedule here. Off to some place called..."

Discord pulled out a scroll. "Badwater Basin? This is ridiculous!"

The draconequus pointed its index finger towards the candle as a small bolt of lightning came out shattering the lantern and igniting the floor covered in hay.

Ulfgar jumped from his bed, still shackled as he tried to avoid the flames. He could only see the one called Discord dissapear in the shadows, laughing like a madman.

Ulfgar tried to avoid the flames desperatly.

"FUS RO DAH!" the loud shout cracked like thunder throughout the prison walls but it was in vain. The flames were now spreading even further as the curtains and bed were now burning intensely. The dovakhiin fell to his knees as he saw the flames crawl closer towards him every second. He took one good last look at the stars.

"Sovngarde awaits."

_______________________________________________________________________

Earth. Badwater Basin.

Badwater Basin was just one of many locations where the Reliable Excavation Demolition (RED) and Builders League United (BLU) would square off in an endless war where death held no meaning. Some of Earth's best, most violent and strangest experts in their class would face off againt theirself. None were sure if they were clones. They didn't ask questions. They were told not to. They fought with modern technology including teleporters, disguise kits, miniguns, rocket launchers and much MUCH more. But by far the greatest invention to come from Earth was the RESPAWN. A device that would recreate a BLU or RED employee upon death in a short time limit. By using this the companies could force their employees to fight each other as long as they wished.

At the RED headquarters.

"ALRIGHT MAGGOTS!" the soldier yelled agitated by the fact RED lost five games in a row. "We have ONE and ONE objective only, we protect the our base no matter the cost! as Sun Tzu once said. We pick up our guns and shoot them in face!"

"Ah'm pretty sure Sun Tzu never said that." The Engineer said lauging.

"And I'm pretty sure Sun Tzu knows a little bit more about fighting then some Canadian maggot!"

"For ta last time, Ah'm from Texas. Same country as you pardner"

"Can we just get to the freakin' point?" Scout said annoyed.

The soldier cleared his throat. "Alright, when the next game starts myself, Heavy, Demoman, Scout and Medic will go straight to their spawn to slow them down as long as possible. The Canadian will stay behind to provide teleporters from our spawn to the first checkpoint. And better set up some sentries. Spy, Sniper. You maggots will kill everyone that gets passed us. Pyro. You're spychecking.

"Mmmmgmmghhhgmmmgmmm!" Pyro was clearly pissed.

"YOU CAN GET TO THE FRONTLINES WHEN YOU GET YOUR OWN MEET THE. VIDEO MAGGOT!" Soldier barked. The RED Pyro felt a small tear gently falling down his cheeks.

"What about sandvich." Heavy asked.

Soldier wasn't one of the brightest minds. But he knew better then everyone not to go into discussion with the large Russian. "You just keep on to that."

Heavy grinned "Sandvich is credit to team!"

He was immediatly slapped on the back of his head. "Dummkopf!" Medic looked angry. "Es ist just zwei slices of bread with some lettuce, tomatoes and ham! Vat can it possibly do!" he said with an over the top german accent.

Heavy responded with a blank look on his face. "Sandvich is magic, doktor did not complain when sandvich saved life!" at this point the Sniper and Spy had already taken off as things were getting to random for them.

"Das sandvich did not save my life, I vas just hungry."

"Njet, Sandvich is magical"

"Zis is ridiculous!"

"MAAAAAAAAAGOOOOOOTSS!" the Soldier yelled at the top of his lungs. "It's game time in less then FIVE minutes, get to your position." The Demoman quickly chugged down his flask of Scrumpy. Extremely drunk he attempted to leave the building while knocking over anything that wasnt stuck to ground. The Scout and Engineer sighed and dragged him along. Heavy, Medic and the Soldier followed them and started heading towards the BLU spawn. Pyro stayed behind as he was still sulking in the corner.

"You have precisely FIFTEEN seconds to get your ass up, gear up and protect the Canadian while he's building!" Soldier was losing his patience.

"Mmgmgmblm." Pyro responded.

Discord had arrived a bit earlier. He was carefully watching the humans as they set out towards their enemies base. This 'Earth' as it was called was the only place he did not study properly. He wasn't quitte sure which of them would be suitable for his evil plans to spread chaos, so the draconequus decided to observe them a bit more. He was not aware he was not the only thing skulking in the shadows.

The game mode they were playing today was 'payload'. An objective based game where the BLU team would need to push a cart filled with explosives right into the RED base. Most of RED squad has now gathered in front of the BLU spawn. Scout was repeatedly smacking his baseball bat on the BLU's gates. Soldier was taunting the BLU team with his shovel. Heavy was pretending his finger was a gun. "POW!" The Medic acted as if he was playing a violin. The Demoman had placed several explosives around two of the three gates, unfortunatly he passed out not a few seconds later. Sniper was way in the background, on top a large rock formation where he was carefully able to place his shots right into the enemy base. Engineer started building a sentry gun right next to the first checkpoint. Pyro was still sulking in a corner next to Engineer.

Discord was carefully watching the scene from the shadows as he summoned a bowl of popcorn. "This should be entertaining." He was startled as a loud speaker announced the game would start soon and started counting afterwards.

5. 4. 3. 2. 1.

The gates opened and the BLU forces stormed outside, Discord noticed they were the exact same humans as the RED team, the only difference were their colors and oddly enough hats. A BLU Heavy was immediatly shot in the face by Sniper. "Thanks for being such a whoppin' big target mate!" he yelled and quickly changed locations.

A BLU Pyro rushed outside only to set off the planted explosions. Demoman appareantly regained his senses. "HAHA! KA-BLOOEEEEEEEY!"

A RED engineer approached him. "Everyone back to base, pardner."

"Sounds like a plan aye!" still drunk, he turned his back and started heading to his spawn.

"Mon dieu, zis incompetent fool. I merely finished what your liver started!" the RED Engineer grunted as he revealed himself to be a BLU Spy. He stabbed the demoman in the neck killing him instantly.

The RED Soldier was blasting his rockets into the enemy base. CLICK CLICK. Out of ammo. He pulled out his shovel and somehow managed to have the girliest battleroar possible. He rushed towards a BLU sniper trying to run past them. The Sniper threw a bottle of yellow liquid right in the soldier's face. This enraged the RED soldier of course. The BLU Sniper drew a terrified look. "Oh my god." he said while his face grew paler.

"If god had wanted you to live, he would not have created me!" Soldier roared as he swung his mighty shovel directly at the Sniper's face, snapping his jaw. The Soldier then pulled out his shotgun and delivered the final blow. "I'll send my condolences to your kangaroo wife." Not five seconds later the Soldier was covered in sticky bombs planted by the BLU Demoman. The Demoman saluted him with a smile. The RED soldier roared once more before he was blown to bits.

Discord spat out what popcorn he had in his mouth. "What the hay, they're dropping like flies!" He giggled. "Well that just makes my job a lot easier. Just to pick the most violent one now. Those ponies will never see it coming!"

Medic had been charging his übercharge since the beginning of the match. "I am fully charged!" the RED Heavy smiled and walked right up to the entrance of the BLU spawn. Heavy started revving his precious mini-gun Sasha.

"GET BEHIND ME DOKTOR! YYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Heavy's battleroar and the loud noise produced by Sascha's spinning caused the BLU team to tremble in fear. The RED medic aimed his medi-gun at Heavy and used his übercharge as both their bodies started glowing bright red, complete with demonic yellow eyes.

"YAHAHAHA! I AM BULLETPROOF!"

The BLU demoman was the first target of Heavy's incoming barrage of bullets. Didn't last very long. With its extremely large magazine Sasha is able to shoot non-stop for a minute without reloading. The what seemed endless amount of firepower continued to spray and the BLU medic and scout were the next to meet their end. Just the Engineer and Spy remained. Heavy was right infront of the entrance, yet some invisible wall seemed to stop him from entering. He spotted the BLU engineer in their spawn just standing there, doing nothing. Must be AFK. Ammo was running low and the übercharge was wearing off but not before Heavy took down the Engineer.

RED Scout was impressed. "Woah there, that was freakin' unbelievable. You're on a killing spree big guy!"

"Da! Is thanks to doktor." Heavy replied.

"Oh no no, I cant take all ze credit. Ze healing is not as rewarding as ze hur.." Medic was interupted as the BLU spy revealed himself again. He stabbed the RED medic in the back. Once again. Instant-kill. The Spy prepared to flee back to the shadows again with his invisi-watch but before he was able the RED Heavy grabbed him and held him tightly. He turned the captured spy towards the RED scout.

Heavy laughed. "Make it hurt." Scout was grinning. He pulled out his baseball bat. "Boink!" scout said as he slammed his baseball bat against the captured spy's face. His eyes turned white but was still breathing. Heavy decided to break his neck. *CRACK*

Discord had already thrown away his bowl of popcorn in excitement. "Thats my guy!" He certainly looked like someone more then capable to overthrow a world with cute colorful ponies. Or atleast create enough chaos among the ponies along with Discord's other 'subjects'. "Alright, now I'll just have to wait untill he's alone.... Wait, what the?" Discord was surprised at the sight of the BLU forces storming outside once again. And the RED humans that had been killed, were now also on their way back. "Hmm, Fascinating." He saw the RED Heavy he had his eyes on was now being burned, shot, slapped and exploded to death. And as he suspected he returned after about a minute. "Rather confusing seeing as I can literally see his corpse and him at the same time..."

The RED team was holding their ground extremely well this round. Defenders did their job right. Heavy and Sniper were mowing most the people down before they could even leave their own spawn. Engineer had build a teleporting device, one at their own spawn linked to one at the first checkpoint. Defended by his sentries and pyro. From here they would be able to reach the BLU base in about fifteen seconds after respawning.

Discord grew annoyed by this constant dying. He needed his previous targets to die in order for them to get transported across dimensions. However, in this world. Death appareantly had no meaning. And there was one thing bothering him.

"I haven't seen the red guy with the mask all this time." He said out loud.

"Ahem, right behind you." Discord would crap his pants if he was wearing one. The RED Spy appeared behind him flipping his butterfly knife and casually smoking a cigarette. "Vat is with this spying monsieur? Zat is my job."

Discord stretched out his neck. "OKAY this is ridiculous." He teleported himself away from the Spy who then returned to the shadows.

Heavy had just nailed the entire BLU team again, unfortunatly Medic was shot to bits by an BLU soldiers missiles. Heavy was injured so he put down his gun, then reached in his pocket and pulled out his trusted comrade 'sandvich'.

"So moist and delicious." Heavy started drooling a bit. He took a bite and felt the energy replenish throughout his body. He was at full health once again.

Discord now teleported directly in front of the RED Heavy. "You! Chaos!" He was outright annoyed at this point. The draconequus snapped his fingers which caused a portal to appear underneath Heavy's feet. "We're just doing this the old way! The faster im out of this random universe. The better!" The Russian was thrown aside by the sudden change in gravity which caused him to lose grip on his sandvich."

"SANDVICH NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo...." Heavy's voice echoed through the portal and started fading by the second. Discord stretched its long neck towards the RED team who stood there flabbergasted. "Well untill never again. Arrivederci!" And with that he dissapeared in a flash and the portal closed.

"Did that giraffe-goat-lizard thang jus' kidnap Heavy?" Engineer said breaking the silence.

"Oui, but we will talk later." Spy responded pointing out the newly respawned BLU team started pushing the cart.

_____________________________________________________________________

Location: Equestria, Everfree forest.

Scootaloo was enjoying her day off. After a full day of cutie mark crusading with her friends she was pretty tired, but she wasn't done yet. The small pegasus wandered around the edge of the everfree forest a bit, close to Fluttershy's cottage. She admired a pegasus named Rainbow Dash who was self-proclaimed the fastest flyer in Equestria. The one problem was. Scootaloo wasn't able to fly herself, even though she was old enough to do so. Emberassed by this she often practiced her basic flying alone. She tried jumping from tree tops and was able to glide to the air for a few seconds. However taking off herself was still rocket science for her.

"One day I'll be just as good a flyer as Rai..." She was interupted by a loud explosion in the distance. It looked as if the sky itself was opening, above the Everfree Forest. A red figure and what seemed like a chest appeared to fall from the crack in the sky. "Cutie mark crusader treasure hunters!" She shouted out loud and took off.

_______________________

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOO..." Heavy was still falling after a whopping five seconds in darkness. Suddenly bright colors emerged from everywhere. He spotted a rainbow in the distance, snow covered mountains, and a beautiful white castle right next to one of the mountains. Heavy then realised he was about three-hundred yards up in the air. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" he landed belly first in a river.

Heavy was struggling the fight the current. The fierce waves slammed him into rocks and wooden debris. He vaguely spotted a large creature that reached out to him while underwater.

"Oh dear, it has been raining strange creatures all day!" A large sea serpent plucked out the RED Heavy from the river. The russian did not understand what was going on, but was happy he wasn't drowning.

"Thank you Nessie." The Russian said confused.

"Actually, my name's Steve but I am in quitte you pickle you see." The serpent pointed at his... hair?

"Da, what is wrong?"

"Oh it is absolutely horrid, I asked the hairdresser to color my hair 'burnt orange' but he instead used 'bittersweet shimmer'. OH THIS IS SIMPLY DREADFUL!"

"I do not understand, why is big fish talking?"

"Big fish? Well I've never been this insulted, I would go into discussion with you but I'm far to busy for that. And next to that, far to classy. I've put your friends and your little treasure chest just a few hundred yards downstream."

"Friends? Sasha? Sandvich!?"

"Im sorry, I have to get going right now. Bye-bye!" the large serpent quickly took of not looking back.

Heavy had no idea what just happened, just ten minutes ago he was still blasting down the BLU team in a secluded area. Now he's in a colorful environment with talking fish monsters. "I should not think. Must find Sasha and sandvich. They are member of team. Only... there is no team." Heavy sighed and proceeded his journey downstream. He quickly encountered the chest the serpent mentioned. As he opened it he immediatly got a smile on his face. He pulled out his beloved mini-gun Sasha from the chest. "Hmm what is this? Big sword. Iron armor. Bow and arrow. Very strange guns. What is this mad chest?!" Heavy kicked the chest and was dissapointed his comrade 'sandvich' wasn't in there.

He suddenly heard a cough and aimed its gun towards the sound. He approached slowly behind the small hill as he spotted a man dressed in old rags with long brown hair and a stubbled beard was lying on the ground slowly regaining consciousness, on the other side another man was lying against a rock. His armor seemed slightly futuristic and and covered its entire body apart from his arms. He had sweet looking helmet which made it look like his eyes were glowing blue. Both of them were slowly getting up.

"What happens next today?" Heavy sighed.

__________________________________________________

This is my first fic. Please be gentle. =)

Chapter two. Welcome to Ponyville!

Images of blood, pain and agony flashed before Carmine and Ulfgar's eyes. They would see their friends and family slaughtered by the second in the most horrible way possible.

Clayton Carmine saw his brothers. Anthony was shot in the head by an locust sniper. Benjamin was devoured by a giant locust rift worm and before he reached its stomach he was torn apart by nemacytes. For Clayton family was his most precious thing. He loved his brothers and as he was forced to repeatedly see this, it started to slowly drive him insane.

The dovakhiin saw his best friend and sworn brother Fultheim begging for mercy along with two strangers. He was only able to watch as the leader of the dark brotherhood Astrid sliced their necks because he refused to kill them after stealing their contract. He also relived the first time he faced Alduin, after crossing the border, the Empire decided to execute him. The massive dragon attacked Helgen just seconds before his decapitation and slaughtered nearly everyone as he and just a few men escaped. It was the first time he truly felt fear.

"Wake up! wake up!" Heavy slapped Ulfgar multiple times in the face. "You to future man!" he threw a rock towards Carmine which then deflected from his helmet.

"JEEZE LOUISE WHAT THE FUCK!" Carmine reached out to his neck. "Ugh, my head is killing me."

"Ysgromar? Is that you?" Ulfgar said while looking drowsy.

"Njet, is Heavy."

"By the gods! this is not Sovngarde."

"Woah, this place looks trippy. Where are we? Wait... Who the hell are you?" Carmine said while observing the colorful environment.

"I am heavy weapons guy. And this. This is my gun." Heavy placed Sasha infront of the COG soldier.

"Woah! thats as big as a chaingun. Heavy weapons guy sounds like a weird name doesnt it? Im Carmine." He reached out for a handshake. Heavy accepted it.

"Da, name does not matter anymore. I am Heavy now."

"Could you two dwemer artifact collecters explain to me why I have not joined my ancestors in the afterlife!" yelled the dovakhiin clearly annoyed.

"Who's this weirdo?"

"I do not know. Found you both at river unconscious. Did not bother to wake you, but then little man eyes started to glow and you started to scream. It annoyed me, so decided to break neck. Lucky you woke up." Heavy grinned.

"Hold on. I started screaming?"

"Da."

"Okay...Where are we then?"

"I do not know. Heavy was still killing the BLU team not twenty minutes ago."

"Blue team? where the hell are even from?"

"I come from beautiful country named Russia."

"Russia? Where the hell is that, in the n..." Carmine was interupted by Heavy.

"I do not think we come from same place. This is different world also. I figure you must be from future!"

"Works for me. And who is this guy then?" Carmine pointed at the dragonborn.

"Surely you must have heard from Ulfgar the Fearless! slayer of Alduin the world eater." Ulfgar said proudly. Carmine shrugged.

"The Dovakhiin! you must have heard the legends."

"Sorry. I dont usually hang out with half-naked dudes." Carmine laughed.

"By Talos! where is my steel?" Ulfgar was shocked by the fact he was dressed in just his underwear.

"There was big chest as well, maybe strange things are yours." Heavy picked up the large chest he had left downhill and dropped it infront of the dragonborn.

Ulfgar immediatly spotted his iron armor, gauntlets and boots. He quickly geared up and dug further in huge chest. All of the equipment he had while was he questing was there. The skyforged steel greatsword. An orcish bow and arrows. A staff he would use to light up dark areas. Some potions and last but not least. His trademark Iron horned helmet. He gently put it on. Carmine had meanwhile joined the dovakhiin next to chest.

"Whats with the weird outfit man?"

"It is the finest armor I could create myself. It intimidating look sends fear into my enemies heart. And my sword can cleave three man in half with one slice!"

"Wouldnt it be better to use guns instead of this large butterknife?"

"I trust my sword as it saved me countless of times. I will not put my trust in these unreliable dwemer devices you call guns!"

"Dwemer huh... Where are you from buddy?" Carmine said slightly patronizing.

Ulfgar stopped to think for a second. He realised he wasnt in Skyrim anymore. Way to sunny. He tried to recall what happened. The dovakhiin tried to remember as hard as he could. Vague images of Skyrim flashed before him in his mind. The guards. Being send to jail. A vague image of the creature that appeared to him in his cell. The flames. Oh god the flames.

"I...I come from Skyrim...And I... died... so I should be in Sovngarde right now. Fighting alongside my ancestors and drinking endless amounts of mead!" the dovakhiins words had a touch of sadness to them.

"I think I died as well, but there's no point figuring out what happened because I feel pretty much alive right now. Im sure that if we work together we can get you back to Sky-ring or this Sovergoord." Carmine said reassuring.

Ulfgar couldnt help but laugh at his mispronouncing of Skyrim and Sovngarde. Heavy decided to join the laughter aswell.

"Oh. Im sure we'll be the best of friends." Carmine still laughing. "But seriously, dont worry. You just got to go with the flow and deal with things as they come. Like me! wait... Is that?"

Carmine peaked in the chest and pulled out his Lancer assault rifle complete with chainsaw attachment, A gnasher shotgun and two frag grenades. "Sweet!" now all three humans were fully equiped.

"Alright, I have no idea where we are or why its so colorful. But what I do know is that we need to find some civilization and get some food. Im starving." Carmine said ready to take charge. Heavy and Ulfgar nodded in agreement.

"I saw big castle when I fell from sky. " The russian said to Carmine as he pointed towards he guessed it to be.

"Then off we go!" and with that the three armed to the teeth humans took off.

____________________________

Scootaloo was in pursuit of the treasure chest she had seen falling from the sky not long ago. Her excitement made her forget all about the dangers that lurk in the Everfree Forest as she kept getting further in.

"Im sure I'll get my cutie mark when I find that treasure!" she thought to herself. After a good ten minutes of encountering nothing but trees and mud, she stumbled upon a river. Rainbow Dash had told her once about a giant sea-serpent that resided there.

"I hope I wont run into anything scary that might eat me." Scootaloo's was starting to get doubts to continue further, but all doubt immediatly vanished as she spotted a chest atleast five times larger then herself on a small hill. She quickly ran towards and bucked it open. The pegasus jumped up to the chest and peaked inside. It was empty. Or no wait. She picked out a pair of big stylish sunglasses hidden in the corner of the chest. Scootaloo looked at her flank with a big smile on her face.

"Awww still no cutie mark. What a useless treasure." She bucked it once more in dissapointment. However she noticed strange hoofprints surrounding the chest.

"Somepony must've stolen the real treasure! cutie mark crusader treasure retrievers go!" she started following the prints.

_____________________________

Heavy, Ulfgar and Carmine had spend just five minutes walking through the unfamilair forest, telling each other of their adventures.

Carmine told of the mutated monsters he had to fight everyday in a struggle for survival.

Heavy told of the endless battles he fought against BLU. He vaguely described the RESPAWN as a magical device that would recreate him every time he died.

Ulfgar spoke proudly of Skyrim and the people he swore to protect from dragons and other unimaginable foes much to Carmine's surprise.

"So wait? You can actually cast magic? Care to show?

The dovakhiin held up his hand as he conjured a small flame in it. It grew more violent. He stretched out his arm as the flames were now burning brightly reaching all the way above the large trees.

"Im specialized in destruction magic, I can conjure up powerful ice, lighting and fire magic. I have some knowledge in the restoration school. However im still just a joke compared to some of the mages of Winterhold. They're able to summon dangerous elementals fro..." Carmine stopped the dovakhiin.

"You're going a little fast for me there buddy. You can throw fire okay. Thats all I need to know."

Heavy was distracted as he heard rumbling in some bushes behind them during the other guys conversation. He grasped Sasha tightly as he proceeded to venture towards not-so hidden creature behind the bush.

"Hey look! I found chicken!" heavy yelled happily as he pulled up an orange winged creature.

Earlier

Scootaloo was tracking the treasure snatchers for a while now. She would be more scared of the Everfree Forest normally. But Ponyville is literally only a three-minute jog from this point. The young pegasus flinched for a moment as she heard laughter in the distance.

"Right on track." She ninjad her way from tree to tree hiding in the shadows. She was careful enough not to make a sound. The pegasus ended up doing a triple flip to confirm her awesomness when she jumped of a tree branch which caused her to crash down in a small bush.

"Ouch..." with eyes widened she gasped as she saw three large creatures standing on their hind legs. Seemingly having a conversation. She quickly pulled herself up in a more comfortable position as she took cover in the small bush, obviously scared. Scootaloo kept staring at the strange beings as one of them suddenly raised his arm. He conjured up a little flame, he must be like a unic....

"EEP!" Scootaloo flinched as she saw the flame grow more violent and scary! the largest of the creatures most likely noticed her squak as she saw the behemoth slowly approach her. The young pegasus was completly frozen in fear. Her legs refused to move as she felt the creatures claws around her tail lifting her up.

"Hey look! I found chicken!" the creature yelled in excitement.

"By the gods. Thats a wonderful catch Heavy. It will certainly fill our stomachs for the night and keep moral high!" the horned one replied.

"Hmm. Its no bacon but it'll do for now." The last one said.

"I AM NOT A CHICKEN!!!" Scootaloo bucked Heavy right in the face causing his nose to bleed and to lose grip on the small pony. She landed right in front of Carmine.

"HOLY SHIT! IT TALKED! ULFGAR! KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!" Carmine yelled.

"By Ysgromar's beard! Foul demon!" Ulfgar conjured flames in both his hands.

Scootaloo did what any normal pony would've done. Run off screaming and crying. The horned one followed her but luckily tripped over a tree root in mere seconds. She kept sprinting as fast as she could. Ponyville was already in sight.

"Need to warn Ponyville!" she thought to herself with tears in her eyes.

___________________________

Heavy was enraged by what happened. "Puny creature kicks me in face and gets away with it? Oh no no. I WILL FIND LITTLE ONE. Then it will be sorry."

Carmine calmed down the raging russian. "Woah calm down big guy, we have no idea what that thing was. We need to carefully plan an..." Heavy interupted him.

"NJET! WE GO TAKE REVENGE!"

"Aye, I agree with Heavy. I want to know what we're dealing with." Ulfgar said.

"Well okay, but listen. Have you seen that movie? Planet of the Apes?"

"Njet."

"What is this movie you speak off?"

"Ugh nevermind. The only logical conclusion I have for this is that we are stranded on this planet or whatever it is and where not humans, but these chicken-like creatures evolved over time!" Carmine said super serious.

The trio took started tracking down the strange creature and spotted its prints in the dirt immediatly. Within five minutes they reached what seemed civilization.

"Alright guys, we have an unknown enemy we know nothing about. We are most likely severely outnumbered and have the tactical disadvantage of not knowing this terrain. All odds are against us and thats exactly how I like it. I propose we do this the COG way." Carmine said.

"What is this cock way?" Heavy smirked.

"COG WAY! just follow my lead."

Earlier

Scootaloo ran screaming through Ponyville as she was eventually stopped by a purple unicorn named Twilight Sparkle.

"Scootaloo, whats wrong?"

"Ohtwilighttherewerethreemonstersintheforestandtheywantedtoeatmeandthen...." Scootaloo was interupted by a purple hoof in her mouth.

"I need you to slow down please Scootaloo. And then calmly tell me what happened." Twilights voice calmed the young pegasus down a bit. She took a deep breath.

"I was in the forest doing some awesome crusading. Then I spotted three scary big creatures. I went to follow them because I wasnt scared at all!"

"What kind of creatures?" Twilight asked as it peeked her interest.

"Well... They all stood on their hindlegs and had claw like hooves. The biggest looked like a big bald mean gorilla! there was also one that had horns and he could throw fire! the last one was a robot I think."

"A robot?"

"Its true Twilight! you gotta believe me! they said they were gonna eat me!" Scootaloo yelled.

"Oh Scootaloo, do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?" Twilight giggled.

"Twilight im serious! what if they show up here and hurt anypony? What if they are going to eat u...." Scootaloo was interupted by a sudden battlecry.

"CHAAAAAAAAAAARGEEEE!"

Twilight face grew pale as she saw the three creatures Scootaloo had just described sprint right out of the Everfree Forest as the robot seemed to lead the creatures as he used a scary looking object to fire what looked like bits of metal randomly in the air. The gorilla held a similair device only far more big and terrifying. The noise it produced was deafening as he continued this barrage of firepower. The last one with the horns was the smallest of the three but looked equally deadly as he carried a giant sword atleast twice the size of anypony.

Twilight duck to the ground. Covered her ears with her hooves to avoid going deaf from the noise.

"FUS RO DAH!" the purple unicorn blacked out.

____________________________________

Chapter seventeen. Assault.

Half a week has passed. Things have been pretty good in Ponyville once again. Still no attacks by Discord or the changelings so far. But Twilight Sparkle was certain of one thing. These weren't the only threats they had to face. There was something much greater at work. A direct link that could very well be in the Everfree Forest. Perhaps the reason why the laws that apply in Equestria do not apply there. The clouds who could unnaturally move on their own. There was something there causing all of this.

But she couldn't figure out what. Whatever it was. It had to wait. There are strange things happening in the Gryphon kingdom. And Discord and Chrysalis still roam around freely, planning to cause more chaos. Stopping them should be their number one priority now. But they couldn't figure out where they were hiding. All they could do is wait.

Rarity had meanwhile apologized to Carmine and offered him to to reside in her boutique once again. Carmine of course accepted this since Lyra wasn't going to let him stay over for another few days.

Carmine wasn't really bothered that Rarity had kicked him out earlier. He was not a man to hold a grudge. All is good now, so who the hell cares?

Heavy and Sniper were meanwhile eagerly awaiting for Rarity to finish up on their hats. Since Heavy decided to pay so much. The fashion pony decided to put a little more effort in to it as usual. She is the element of generosity after all.

"I really don't understand your obsession with hats." Carmine said.

"And that's coming from you? I never seen ya take off your helmet even once." Sniper replied.

"Da. It must be because he is half robot." Heavy added.

"Yeah... Let's just keep it to that." Carmine quickly wanted to change the subject. "So... Nice weather huh?"

"They're dooooone!" Rarity suddenly shouted with a sweet voice from the next room.

Sweet mother of god!

Words can not explain how excited Heavy and Sniper were. They rushed over the the next room punching each other in the progress.

"Piss off bighead!" Sniper threw his elbow against the Russian's face.

Heavy didn't even budge.

"Njet! Heavy paid so I will get hat first." He then slapped the Australian with flat hand. Sending him flying across the room. Heavy is a pretty strong guy you know?

The Russian then entered the room. His eyes immediatly set on the beatiful hats that seemed the brighten up the entire building.

"Oi ya bloody blockhead! Watch where you-" Sniper also entered the room. Complaining of course, but stopped midsentence as he spotted the hat that would change his life forever.

He took of his sunglasses. Mother of god! "It's... bloody gorgeous." He said amazed.

Sniper's new hat resembled his current hat extremely much. You know, the classic random Australian guy hat. But it had a trophy belt wrapped around it. Instead of teeth however it had beautiful gemstones strapped on. It also had a swirling orb of magic surrounding it.

Heavy's new hat was classical Russian ushanka. It was completely black. In front it had a Russian flag created from rubies and sapphires. This hat also had a magical attachment.

Best. Hats. Ever.

The BLU and RED mercenaries forgot they were sworn enemies for a second and started dancing around in delightful joy. They now both owned hats. Unusuals! One of a kind! With bloody magic! Once they're back home the teams are going to be so jealous.

"I can see that you like them." Rarity said pleased. "I've decided to add the magical orbs at the last minute. You know... since you two are being so generous."

"They're bloody amazing Sheila! I can't thank ya enough!" Sniper put on his new hat. It felt just as amazing as it looked.

"Da! We must celebrate this with glorious feast! Bring much vodka and sandvich!" Heavy also put on his new hat. Just by putting it on he could hear the beautiful Russian anthem in his mind.

"I'm affraid there is no time for that." A voice suddenly stated from the entrance.

"Princess Celestia! I'm honored. What brings you to Ponyville, and to my boutique of all places?" Rarity said greeting the princess of the sun.

"There's no time for explanations. Applejack. I need you to gather the rest of the elements and the final human. Then meet me again at Twilight's library." Princess Celestia said with a worrisome tone.

"What's going on then princess?" Applejack asked.

"Discord is coming." Celestia answered.

_______________

Fluttershy's cottage.

"An' that's why ya'll need to come with me right now!" Applejack explained the situation to Fluttershy.

"Oh my... But I don't think Ulfgar should be up and running just yet. His wounds have mostly healed, but he still needs rest." The cream colored pegasus answered.

"Well we need to meet the princess immediatly before something bad happens!" Applejack stated once again.

"And we will do so." Ulfgar suddenly appeared behind the two ponies.

"Ulfgar! You shouldn't be out of bed." Fluttershy said to him.

"Where is my blade and armor?" The dovakhiin asked staring Fluttershy down.

"You don't need such things right now." Fluttershy said.

"What? Are you insane? Discord is coming. I need my blade for what is to happen. This has to ends now!"

"Oh my... I don't think tha-" Fluttershy was interupted.

"Jus' give him that damn thing and let's get going!" Applejack gave Fluttershy a little push.

"...Fine. They're hidden in the cellar."

_________________

Twilight Sparkle's library.

The mane six have now gathered here. So have the four humans. Derpy Hooves also decided to tag along when she spotted Sniper and the others being dragged along by princess Celestia.

All humans were of course armed to the teeth. However they didn't bring the dispenser. It was still somewhere around Applejack's farm.

"Justice will come this day. Discord will suffer for his deeds!" Ulfgar stated.

"Da! We crush ponies enemy with all might!" Heavy added.

"That's right. He'll learn he messed with the wrong Aussie." Sniper said while straigtening his newly aquired hat.

"So... how do you actually know he's coming?" Carmine asked the princess.

"Yes... Discord presented himself to me and my sister earlier today. He told me that chaos would find itself in all of Equestria this day. He also said that the elements would be useless against him. I'm guessing that he's bluffing so that's why I've gathered you here right now. We need to set up a plan if he is to present himself again." Princess Celestia explained.

"If he shows his face around here it will gladly meet the sharp edge of my blade!" Ulfgar was excited to defeat the villain.

"But princess! Haven't you read all the letters that I've send you? There's something else that could be a danger to Equestria. Right here in the Everfree Forest." Twilight said desperatly hoping that the princess would back her up on this.

"Twilight Sparkle... My prize pupil. I can see that you're troubled. But right now is not the time to worry about those things. At this very moment Discord is our biggest threat. We need to focus our full atte-" Princess Celestia was interupted as she heard someone slowly clapping from all around them.

"I'm most impressed Twilight Sparkle. I always figured you for an intellectual. But the less you know... the better." Discord's image appeared in all the windows and mirrors in Twilight's library.

"Discord! Come and face me coward!" Ulfgar shouted.

"Ah yes. How kind of you Celestia, to gather everyone for me. Really saves me a lot of time actually." Discord ignored the dovakhiin.

"Discord! What is it you're planning this time." Princess Celestia said angrily.

"Ah yes. I'm going to take over Canterlot today and make it my rightful palace." Discord started chuckling.

"We'll stop you no matter what!" Rainbow Dash stated.

"Oh yes. The precious elements of harmony. Oh how I tremble in fear. No. All of you aren't going to do anything. I'll make sure of that."

Discord snapped his fingers and a beam of light started appearing in the center of the room. Three magical orbs appeared from inside the light and rapidly started heading towards the group.

"Hey what the hell?" Carmine was dragged in to one of these orbs. Together with Rarity and Fluttershy.

Heavy just grunted as one appeared before him. He was taken in the light together with Applejack and Pinkie Pie.

"You are a coward Discord. Soon you'll feel the wrath of a thous-" Ulfgar was the next one to get teleported away. Together with Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle.

The three magical orbs exploded in to nothingness and the room was a lot emptier all of a sudden.

"What have you done!" Princess Celestia was shocked by these events that occured.

"Yes. Haha! They'll be dealing with their own problems. I'll be awaiting you in Canterlot Celestia. I'm sure we'll have lots of fun." Discord started laughing maniacally once again before dissapearing.

"Oi... What are we going to do?" Sniper asked the princess.

"It seems like its just us standing between Discord and Canterlot. I'll teleport us there right away and start evacuating the town. Are you prepared?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Crikey! I bloody guess so." Sniper answered.

Celestia prepared her spell.

"Wait!" Derpy shouted.

"Yes?" Princess Celestia said.

"Oh... Uh... Would it be okay if I come as well?" Derpy asked.

"Are you certain my little pony? It's most likely going to be an extremely dangerous event." Celestia warned the pegasus.

"I know... But I can't just stand idling at the side when my friends are in danger." Derpy was determined.

"Alright then. Let us proceed." Princess Celestia could only hope that the humans and elements would overcome their obstacles in time and would be able to assist Canterlot as soon as possible.

Sweet Apple Acres.

"Now what the hay is going on here?" Applejack said. Amazed at the fact they're only transported a few hundred meters away.

"Maybe Discord messed up his magic. You know, he does look like a klutz." Pinkie Pie could only come up with this explanation.

"I think we have bigger problem." Heavy stated.

He pointed forward. A dark figure was slowly approaching them. As it came closer the ponies gotten terrified by its appearance. It was a giant white humanoidish being. Armed with a chaingun equally as large as Sashsa. He was surrounded by an army of bat-like creatures.

Its eyes. Red of corruption once again. The creature let out a terrifying final roar before charging at the trio.

"Sssssssuffer..."

_____________________

Everfree Forest.

"Oh no! What's going on?!" Twilight was startled by what just occured. "What are we doing here?"

"Relax! I'll just fly up and see where we are." Rainbow Dash rose up the the skies.

"What cowardice this Discord shows once again. Truly an unfit ruler. Refusing to his own dirty jobs." Ulfgar said.

"I just hope the princess is alright..." Twilight was worried about her mentor.

"Uhh guys! We might have a little problem." Rainbow Dash returned looking terrified.

"Why? What did you see?" Twilight asked.

But Rainbow Dash had no time to answer as suddenly a strange creature leaped before them. Before they had time to properly take a look at the being it threw a grenade-like object to the trio releasing a poisonous black gas.

Ulfgar quickly pulled the two ponies away from this strange stuff. But was quickly forced to draw his blade immediatly after.

The creature rushed at him. Wielding a staff with chainsaws attached at both ends. The being started shrieking incomprehensible words.

Ulfgar parried the incoming strike with his greatsword. But this thing is dangerous. This much he could tell.

_________________

A remote place. Somewhere near the borders at the other end of the Everfree Forest.

"What the hell happened?" Carmine asked.

"I think Discord managed to teleport us to this place." Rarity said.

"Oh my... Why would he do such a thing?" Fluttershy peeped.

"Because he's a dick that's why! Anyway. Let's start searching for a way out." Carmine was first to step forward.

*BOOM*

"SNNIIIIIPEEER!" Carmine yelled and pushed both ponies to the ground.

The bullet flew but a few inches from Carmine's face before dissapearing deep within a tree.

"Shit shit. What the hell's going on?" Carmine had no idea. Why is there a bloody sniper shooting at them?

"Gearsssssss..." A voice suddenly shouted from behind the two ponies and human.

"Shit! Run!" Carmine shouted before they were being chased by a barrage of bullets.

____________________

Canterlot.

The town was quickly evacuated once again. The royal guards stood ready for whatever it is that was coming. Nothing could stop their determination.

Celestia, Luna, Derpy and Sniper were all at the outlook. Overseeing the entire town. If something were to come they'd be the first to spot it.

"We've been sitting here for two bloody hours now. Ya think that Discord is gonna show up or not?" Sniper asked.

"He has to... What reason else could he have to get rid of the elements." Celestia answered.

"Sister... It is coming." Luna suddenly stated while looking through the telescope.

A bellowing roar could be heard in the distance. A loud booming noise afterwards. Then it went silent for a few seconds.

"Oh god." Sniper got worried at this point.

"What? What is it?" Derpy asked.

Sniper pointed forward. Several slow moving rockets were heading straight towards them. And the giant creature that stood slightly further behind didn't look like a nice chav.

On top of this behemothian creature were Discord and Chrysalis. Riding it like a mount.

"Oh yes! Let the chaos begin!" Discord shouted excitedly.

Authors note; Once again sorry for the short chapter. But at least it was a fast update!
I'll be sure to make the next one much longer since shit got real once again.
It's also the chapter I'm looking most forward to writing. It's basically the idea that spawned this entire story.
