“So what do we do, just keep letting him kill?” the queen asked, “it seems below the pony royalty”.

“The only way to stop him is if the ponies and changelings work together” Twilight said.

“How?” Chrissy asked confused.

Twilight sighed and looked down, “we have to kill him”. Chrissy let what Twilight said sink in and nodded, “I’ll call the changelings off, but what after that?”.

“We have one of your fastest changelings drop a bomb near him” Twilight announced, “it’s the only way”.

“I’ll go gather my kingdom” the queen said and walked outside. Early the next morning Twilight used a tracking spell to pin point exactly where in the forest Sergeant Everfree was. Chrissy picked a changeling named Blur to drop the bomb on Everfree.

“Do you understand your orders?” the queen asked Blur.

“I am to hoof travel until I am close enough to fly up and drop the bomb on the target” Blur said confidently.

“Well we better get a move on” Twilight said, “the faster we kill Everfree the better”. Blur started through the forest. He was to look for dead trees then fly up and drop the bomb on a small hut. He was trotting as silently as he could when he bumped into something. He saw a tree when he looked up. He sighed, relieved  as he took another step. Sergeant Everfree hopped out from behind him and dragged him down to the ground below. He laughed as the silent forest was silent again.

Back at the castle, Blank squeed as she was on top of Twilight's head. "So, we are off to sign the peace treaty?" She said as she saw Crissy behind her.

“Yes little one we are” the queen said as they entered the throne room. Celestia stood as they reached her and Luna. “Sister are you sure we should do this?” Luna asked.

“We had a common threat Luna, and they helped, we have to do this” Celestia said.

“Celestia” Chrissy greeted as she nodded.

“I want to give you my thanks for helping get rid of that awful pony in the forest” Celestia said with a sincere smile.

“He killed my son” she said looking at Celestia, “it’s was my honor Celestia”.

“I have both our kingdom’s waiting for us to sign the treaty” Celestia announced, “let’s go”. They all walked out onto the balcony and was greeted by both ponies and changelings. Before they could speak, a small pinecone hit the Queen in the head.

" WHO THREW THAT?" She snarled. She looked all around.

"YooHoo! " a voice called out. It was Sergeant Everfree. He smiled as he walked up holding a detonation switch.

"GOOD EVENING MAGGOTS. today, we say goodbye to the changelings and hello to the future. Today, this war will end and today, we discover who the real traitors are." He said smiling as he pointed to a monitor that had shown 2 gigantic bombs with timers. The locations, however, were not easily recognizable.

"You won't get away with this!" Luna said as she used her magic to lift him to face her.

"Get away? Please. Do you really want me to be known as a typical one trick pony who has a scheme that will fall? " he smiled as he got a green flower. "I got away with it 3 minutes ago." He said as he crushed it into powder and blew it into her eyes. Just as he starts to fall, a large explosion happens from the bottom of the castle and all across every street in Equestria. The second bomb that was shown, had a target that was clear as day. It was the changeling hive.

"Well, love to stay and chat but I got 5 good friends of the princess to clean their traitorous ways." He said shouting as he picked up Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Applejack  "Oh and think fast!" He shouted as he ran off and another explosion occurred right behind the Royal member's heads. Blank quickly jumped into a pile of hay as the explosion radiuses collided. Ponies all over equestria where fleeing as their houses and buildings started to collapse. Carriages crashed in the road and even the castles around equestria were giving out. As the bombing died out, Twilight watched over all to make sure they were OK.

"I pray my friends are OK." She said as she grabbed Blank. The filly squeed as she hugged Twilight and Crissy shaking scared.

"He will pay!" The queen said angry. She began to turn around when one of the piles of rubble began to shake. Together, the princesses, the queen and blank began to help clear it.

"What in Equestria?" Celestia had let her mouth slip. Underneath the old building, there was a pony completely covered in a weird white metal suit. There were gold screws and bolts that were in it and causing no visible pony parts.

"Is it alive?" Blank asked as she looked at the left front hoof, pointing 2 gauges that said "Hunger" and "Thirst". Before Luna could answer, the eyes on the mysterious figure's eyes glowed red and it stood up, taller than Big MacIntosh.
