After killing the last changeling I drop my minigun into my rift because I'm not going to be carrying that thing around.

"That was... wow. You are ruthless. You know that?"

"Only to my enemies." I say, winking at the AI, making her roll her eyes.

"Alright, well you aren't done yet. The Mane Eight as you call them have yet to be found. Oh and by the way, your minigun didn't go into the rift. You are going to have to carry that around." Jeneva informs me.

"Aw, fuck it." I say as I use my magic to clean the barrel of the minigun and clean my armor of blood and organs. I step over body after body until I get to the courtyard of Canterlot.

Perspective: Princess Celestia

"Did you hear all that noise Sister?"

"Indeed."

An explosion is heard outside and greenish blood showers in front of my hooves as an eviscerated changeling is flung towards us. I glare at it until I see how shredded the changeling is.

"Who could've done this?" I ask, a little bit afraid due to the violent nature of the changeling's death.

"I think I know, but you won't like it."

"Do I really want to know Luna?" My sister doesn't say anything as she leads me to where a huge battle is going on. "Oh dear..." I say fearfully as I see Brandon in his full recon armor with a huge minigun covered completely in blood, gore, and organs, turning thousands of changelings into swish cheese. I feel bile rushing into my throat as I vomit. Luna sighes and backs away from me by a few yards. After I've finished emptying the contents of my stomach I use my magic to clean myself and the mess I made. I then walk over to Luna trying to repress the memory.

"Hurry Sister, I don't think--" She is interrupted as about fifty changelings come flying towards us, fangs bared. I charge up my horn and unleash my magic on them in bursts. Controlled bursts of course. Luna does the same but more effectively, as in she hits every shot while I miss about ten of mine.

"How are you so good at this?!"

"A thousand years on the moon gives one a lot of time to get better." Luna says matter-of-factly, making me feel guilty even though I had no choice.

"FUCK!" I hear Brandon scream as he is sent flying into one of the castle towers, breaking the foundation and causing the entirety of the tower to collapse over him. For a second though I thought he died from that, then I remember he is wearing ridiculously overpowered armor that can let you survive space for a short time and survive falls from miles up. Queen Chrysalis flies up to Brandon as soon as he gets out of the rubble and attempts to slice him with a dagger. He sidesteps and roundhouse kicks her in the barrel, sending her flying about 50 feet into the air before she escapes her dazed state with a fury.

"Shouldn't we do something?" Luna asks me worriedly, a bit abnormal for her but I shake my head.

"That is not something I want to join." I say shakily. I see Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Blissful Dream, Velvet Majesty, Shining Armor, Mi Amore Cadenza, and Applejack run over to my sister and I to see the commotion and unsurprisingly a few of them faint at the sight that awaits them.

Perspective: Brandon Stryker

After I roundhouse kick Chrysalis and wait patiently for her to try her next strike she does something unexpected. She teleports. Finally she is using her brain. If she even has one...

"Hey! Get back here you bitch!" I roar as I use telekinesis to send my minigun flying to my feet, rattling all the while. She appears behind me and tries to choke me but I crack her skull with the minigun, sending blood everywhere and dropping her to the ground clutching her muzzle with her holed hooves.

"This is blasphemy... This is madness..." She says fearfully.

"No. THIS IS SPARTA!" I roar as I levitate her up and spartan kick her into the stars.

"That was needlessly violent. A perfect reflection of the movie." Jeneva complements sarcastically.

"We're not done yet." I say bluntly as I see zombies coming towards me. I drop my minigun, making a huge thud as I unholster my M6G and put holes in their heads swiftly, efficiently, and accurately. I disengage my armor and void it to my rift and catch a tommy gun that falls from the sky in my hands. It is equiped with an infinite drum magazine. "ENGAGE BADASS MODE!" I roar, as if into a mic to deafen. A pinstripe suit wraps around me and some two tone shoes replace my own.

I hear a scream and more changelings come after me, causing a song to start playing that everyone can hear because of how loud it is.

"I'm a gangster now in 1934..." I start.

3 minutes later

After I've killed the rest of the changelings I throw my tommy gun into the void. After everypony has gained the confidence, they approach me wordlessly. Mostly with trepidation. I grab my M6G which was still holstered to me for an unknown reason and begin a memorial. Jeneva knows what I'm doing and goes to life sized and stands in front of me. Everyone except me eye her oddly for whatever reason. In the blink of an eye I'm in my UNSC service uniform with my medals and ribbons attached to it. I also have my MA5K assault rifle in hands. A song starts playing called "Light of Aidan Lament" in a respectfully low tone.

Finally Jeneva speaks. "Left face!" I turn on my heels to face the dead Changelings. "Present arms!" I raise my assault rifle. "Fire!" I fire about five shots and then lower my rifle.

"Did you just... give a memorial for the enemy?!" Shining Armor exclaims angrily.

"Yes. Indeed I did." I say stoically. He blinks and his facade cracks, leaving him in a state of shock. "Captain, situation report." I order.

"You can't order me to do anything!" He say rebelliously.

"What is your paygrade?" I ask smugly, cracking my stoicism.

"O-3 But I don't see how--"

"I outrank you. I am an 0-4."

"NO!" He denies loudly, the mares all backing up. Celestia tries to break up the fight but Luna pulls her back into the group and shakes her head.

"Yes. I went from Ensign to Lieutenant Junior Grade to Lieutenant to Lieutenant Commander."

"The funny thing is, he isn't lying." Jeneva confirms before disappearing into my head somewhere.

Shining Armor storms off and Cadence tries to comfort him but he trots away faster.

"It's funny how I'm the senior officer."

"No. I outrank you." Dream says angrily.

"Oh hey Dream I uh... Bye!" I try to turn and run but she grabs me in her aura and puts right in front of her a few feet in the air.

"*Sigh* What are we going to do with you?" She points at the fainted Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash.

"Let me go?" All of the mares in my herd immediately send death glares at me. "I didn't mean it in that way!!!" Their glares soften.

"Oh." Dream says as she drops me unceremoniously. I don't land on my feet though as I hit my head on the ground. I clutch my head which now sports a new bump on it.

Twilight bucks me in the chest, breaking a few ribs making me scream in pain, at which she rearranges them and regenerates the tissue. "You deserve far worse. Even if what you did was in self defense and to protect Equestria, you still took the lives of thousands and killed the leader of a civilization. Just wait until you see our new reputation..."

"Twilight! Yer lucky ya have yer magic or ah would have bucked ya harder than ya'll bucked him." Applejack says threateningly. I immediately shoot up and starting laughing my ass off.

"HAH! GAY!" Applejack turns beet red and faints after a few seconds. Even Dream joins in in laughing. Velvet finally comes back from looking at all the dead changelings in her shocked state.

"How can you be so happy when you've commited such an atrocity?" I turn around and look at the changelings and something clicks in my mind.

"Oh! I forgot about that!" Celestia and Luna immediately stop fighting and look at me like I've got some loose screws. "What? Selective memory."

2 Days after unidentified Changeling/Zombie invasion

Location: Council Room, Canterlot Castle, Canterlot, Equestria

"Are you sure that we took care of the entire army?" I ask Princess Celestia impatiently. The nobles including Blueblood stomp their hooves impatiently as well.

"After what you did? What do you think?"

"Good." I say before storming out the door.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Princess Twilight demands.

"Don't worry about it. I'm going to make Equestria a lot safer than before." Celestia cringes while the nobles follow me out the door and into my secret planning basement.

"Since you bothered to follow me, I need your help."

"What could you possibly need my help for that you cannot possibly just do yourself by force?"

"That's the point. This time I'm going to get serious." Most of the nobles laugh mockingly. Until they see a projection appearing, captioned 'A new age for Equestria'. It shows ponies walking around a futuristic version of Equestria with cars, more stores, hotels and various things you see in the real world today.

"I planned on something new. Something to make Equestria safer. If you help me, you'll each receive 1 million bits. Need proof? There will be a new banking system in Equestria. You can deposit or withdraw bits from machines called automated teller machines or ATMs for short. That is just some of the new things I plan to do. There will be a new industry called Striker Industries. So, are you in or are you out?"

Unlike what I was expected since they are nobles who are haughty they actually stomp their hooves and cheer. "Aye!"

"Alright, starting tomorrow I want everypony to state what they are best at and do their best to promote the new age. The age of technology!"

They cheer again and stomp out of my room.

A pegasus I recognize as Rainbow Dash flies through the door, crashing into my desk. The other element bearers are disgruntled. My guess is that they heard my plans.

"We won't let you carry out your evil plans! Isn't that right girls?"

"..." Silence follows.

I calmly pick up the betrayed Rainbow Dash who is glaring at me and throw her out the door before slamming it shut and looking it. I hear arguing on the other side of the door but tune it out until I hear banging on the door.

I actually open the door again and yell. "WHAT?!"

"I thought you were a cool guy until you showed your real colors! Now all--" I slam the door on her face, eliciting gasps. The door bursts open with six angry mares but I'm already gone.
