Author's Note: You need to know who Garble is, check the MLP Wiki before reading our after you want. Also, there is a hint to a main character that will be revealed late on in the story, can you find the hint?

Diamond Muttropolis, Diamond Dog Territory, May 27th, 25 B.L.F. (Before Luna’s Freedom)

“CHARGE!” yelled the Dragon Field Commander. The command was followed. Thousands of dragons flew across the sky and ran on the ground towards the giant towers which blocked the path to the heart of the city. As the armies of the dragons charged forward, it looked like the Great Gem War would finally end.

This conflict started thirty years ago. The origin of it is unknown now, but some believe it started when diamond dogs tried steal several dragon hoards.  This particular battle was an assault on the diamond dog capital of Diamond Muttropolis. However, the outcome of this battle was not caused by either side, but by a supernatural force.

The armies of each side fought in the city. The casualties for both sides increased on every second. As they fought, a strange force watched from overhead. “Sir, should we interfere with their war?” asked one of them.

“Does a father abandon his children?”

“No, he does not, your Majesty.” said the first.

“Then I shall not do the same to mine. Losing the firstborn was too much pain already. My other offspring will not be lost as he was.”

“Shall I begin the transfer, your Majesty?”

“Yes, but only one shall receive it. Find the weakest. He shall become our messenger, the harbinger, the champion!” shouted the king.

“Yes, my liege.”

The fighting raged on. The two sides were stuck in a stalemate. Then, a blast of light came down from the sky. This blast was concentrated on one dragon. Both side stopped their fighting and watched in awe. What was once a dragon, had become something else.

His skin turned to stone, his wings made of metal. The dragon’s head looked more like griffin’s now, except that it was now made of stone and had ruby eyes. His scales were replaced with cracks and his claws were made of metal as well. The transformation was complete.

This new creature charged towards the diamond dog lines. He ripped their soldiers and defenses to shreds. Within a few minutes, the entire dragon army had decided to follow the creature into battle. Buildings came crashing down and fire spread all over the city.

Most of the dragons were as terrified of the creature as the diamond dogs were, but they weren’t going to complain, this monster was leading them to victory. Fires of different colors covered every inch of the city. No dragon knew who exactly this creature was before he was transformed, but they weren’t going to ask questions. The only strange thing about the creature was that it howled at the moon the shined above the battlefield.

Finally, the flag of surrender was flown by the dogs. The war had ended. Immediately afterwards, the monster that lead them to victory returned back to his normal form. What was once a vicious monster was now Ruby Garble, the father of who is now the young teenage dragon named Garble.

  The dragons and diamond dogs were now only left with one question. What made that dragon a monster?

Wilderness, Location Unknown, January 3rd, 1 L.F. (Luna’s Freedom)

“Garble, wake up, my son.”

“Wha..? Dad?” said the sleepy, grumpy teenager.

“Follow me, Garble. Follow me, champion.” said the voice.

“What?” the dragon replied.  He soon felt himself floating in a strange white void that went on to the edges of infinity. “Where am I?”

“Garble, do you know the story of your father?” asked the voice.

“Yeah, yeah. He won the gem war thingy. Why’s that special?”

“You are my chosen, Garble. Your father showed what would be coming to this world. You shall begin the events to bring what is coming.”

“What do you mean? I don’t even know what you are! Are you a spirit or a groundhog?” yelled Garble.

“Do not doubt me, my son!” yelled the voice. “I’m sure you know what your father looked like that day!” he continued. Suddenly, the voice revealed itself. A creature that looked identical to the image of Garble’s father when he lead the charge against the diamond dogs appeared. The only big difference was that it was one hundred times bigger.

“What, Why, How?” said the confused dragon.

“Garble! Your father was of the second born! This is your chance! Everyone in your family has left their mark to show their loyalty! They have made their mark on history! Now, from what I can tell, you have done nothing except slack off! You have a chance to become a champion, a chance to become a warrior! You shall bring my return!” yelled the creature in a fit of rage.

“What is all this? Why am I a second born? What does that even mean? What happened the first born?”

“The history of this world has been hidden. I cannot not tell you yet, but you must trust me my son. Are you prepared to receive your assignment?”

“Sure, why not?” replied a terrified and confused Garble.

“You are to head the the pony city of Coltsburg. My power will disguise you. You are to plants the seeds a rebellion. Once that is done, head to the northern pony cities, do the same there. After that, you will do the same around the world.”

“Whatever you say, boss creature.” said Garble as he tried to hide the fact that fecal matter now covered the “floor” of the void.

“Oh, Garble, before you leave, clean that up. This isn’t some magical dream thing you know! This an observation area that several others use”

“Sorry, boss man. I was just scared, that’s all.”

“Grow a backbone, Garble.” said the creature.

Location Unknown, Kingdom of Equestria, March 10th, 1 L.F. (Luna’s Freedom)

“We will have to change our plans. With the Free Equestrian Federation’s formation, the original plan will need to be changed.”

“Your majesty! This plan can still work even with the secession! We just need to recruit new allies. Maybe the Zebra Tribes will help?”

“Silver Sun, if you family hadn’t been a close ally of ours for this long, we would kill you where you stand. You will follow our orders. Get your tacticians and ready the next plan. Dismissed, Commander.” said Princess Luna.

“As you wish.” replied Commander Silver Sun. The unicorn walked out of the tent to carry out the orders that were just given to him.

“I know he’s a stubborn one, but wasn't that a little bit harsh?” said a new voice

“No it wasn’t, halfbreed. Now, what advice do you have to offer?”

“Princess, you know I do very much dislike that term. You shouldn’t act like that to an old friend.” replied the voice from the shadows.

“All right, we understand. Now, I need you to help me plan the revolution.”

“Very well, your majesty.” The owner of the voice came out of his hiding spot. He wore a robe, but you could still see some things that made him strange. He looked like a pegasus at first glance, but if you looked closer, you could tell he was different.

The creature had dragon wings, teeth, eyes, and some miniature claws coming out of his hooves. The halfbreed also wore goggles over his eyes. The blue lenses of the goggles reflected all light that came towards his eyes. His mane was not visible because of the hood that covered most of his head.

“Fuse, just tell me what we need to do.” said Princess Luna

“Ah, you're calling me by my pet name. You should know that I don’t respond to the name you two gave me.”

“Just tell me what the buck we need to do!” yelled Luna.

“Calm down, Luna. Just let me think about this for a second.” said the creature.

“All right” replied an angry Luna. She watched him stare at the map for what seemed like days, the finally he spoke.

“Don’t attack yet, but you do whatever espionage plan Silver comes up with.” the creature said in a serious voice.

“Please, we would like you to elaborate.”

“Celestia is going to supply the rebels in the federation. The feds will react angrily and declare war on the royals. Once the war begins, you will be able to make your move and unify both sides and found your little republic.” said the creature.

“How do you know this?”

“I just do, Luna. You should know that by now. Now, I must go back to the prison your sister made for me, she will be able to detect my presence soon.” he said. Immediately after he said that, he took off into the night sky.

“Our plan is almost complete.” said a voice to no one in particular. The owner of the new voice looked down and saw Princess Luna walking out to check on her army. “My father will be very pleased with these results.” said the voice again. If the army Luna had assembled could hear this voice, their ears drums would have then been pierced by a howl that was directed towards the moon.
