ATLAS Corporation

As Mr. Irons looked down at the shaking group of technicolor ponies he turned towards his Lieutenant and with a nod the ATLAS soliders picked up individually a pony as they cut thier bindings and with the bigger pony, the Princess, they helped her up to her hooves as she quiely thanked the armored Soliders of Iron's private task force. As the mane 6 finally got a breather Cadence was tightly huging against her fiance Shining Armor who also had a Twilight crying in his open forearms but a 'ahem' was heard from the waiting man of the hour.

"As I had stated, I sent in my finest men to take back the thone room and with Chyrsalis in our custody she won't be hurting anyone for a long time." Between two armored Goliaths Queen Chrysalis was pinned to the ground as she screamed in agony from the receptive sensors being destroyed from losing communication of her deceased children. But as she attempted to buck out in retaliation a quick butt of an HBR whipped across her face as it knocked her out cold.

"On the behalf of my Company and my men, this was just a prime example of how we handle growing situations and If I may contend dear Princess Celestia, I am honored that ATLAS Corporation has gifted a fine service to the Royal Kingdom."

Celestia finally realizing Iron's words after processing the quick turn of events quickly fell down in front of Irons body but before the Soliders could react towards these actions a long and silent cry was met into the arms of the Concerned CEO.

"Thank You!" Celestia gently answered between sobs as Johnathon patted her back against his own body as he held her in his arms. After several quite moments she finally let go as Irons finally gave word to bring in the clean up crew and help escort the injured and the brutally raped Princess as Irons from the moment he saw her eyes, he saw great sadness and forgotten longing.

With introductions out of the way, Irons sat up from his seat as he looked out the windows of the Royal Palace seeing outside the dozens of stealth War Birds circling the skies of Canterlot City on a 'cleansing' task to smoke out the rest of the Queens followers. As he turned back to the matter at hands, he was met with the large eyes of the multitude of mares as they expressed thier gratefulness for rescuing them from the clutches of near death.

"Mr. Irons?" Quietly aksed a light Pastel Pony.

"Yes Ms. Fluttershy?" Asked Irons as Fluttershys face turned a crimson blush.

"Sorry, If I may ask but who are your friends... because I would really like to thank them... If I can, please sorry.... for saving my friends and Princes...." She hid behind her hair as Johnathon chuckled at her naiveness.

"Why of course Ms. Fluttershy, I will send your regards to my men, and It is always a pleasure to thank the hardworking men and women of ATLAS as they are the ones to be thanked for the sacrifices made to ensure man or Pony be safe from harm." Smiled Irons before looking away from the yellow Pony and back to buisness.

Irons then turned back to the collapsible Projection board as several slides of his Presentation were awaiting his command, the Ponies all sat back astounded from the movie like production. Clearing his throat and after looking through the note cards in his hands Johnathon Irons began.

"I am here today on the behalf of ATLAS Corporation and what you have seen was the acts of men and women who fough for your safety, and in the belief of self preservation and for the securtiy of your Majesty. I believe in the principle of change, and change we must in moving forwards. Because with ATLAS we are here not as a hired gun, but as the enforcer of good all in the name of Princess and country."

Then as the room became dark, the projections behind him moved as a recreation of the tragedy 14 years ago flashed across the eyes of the Ponies.

At the end of the presentation, the Ponies were left speechless with stong admiration and courage washing over them including Twilight who's tears escaped the glowing eyes of happiness and renewed hopes. However Celestia was only quite.

"As you saw, ATLAS Corporation Is here to give back our strength in times of crisis, and as we are speaking both medicinal and reassurance has been cleared with the citizens o this city...so towards the matters of Queen Chrysalis's execution"

"Let her go" Answered quietly Celestia as she interupted Irons thought.

"I am afraid I can not do that your grace." Added Irons as Celestia began to sit up from where she had saw the propaganda.

"I appreciate what you have did for myself and My Little Ponys, but our policies rule out that Queen Chrysalis to be exiled from our country and to push her far away from hurting others including herself and let me remind you the acts of excessive violence perpatrated against her followers....."

"But that's why she took your wings, and her minions having thier way with you?" He had hit a nerve as her hair began to glow a dark hue of her colors. Luna then stood up from where she was seated.

"We really thank you for your time, but i am afraid we must decline your offer you see we don't need some outsid...."

"Celestia also used those same policies on yout Princess Luna, or shall I say Nightmare Moon incident?"

"Now see here Mr. Irons, enough has been said and we are more than capable of protecting our country ourselves. But what your millitary did was unjust action, I must ask you to leave including your army before we must bring in our own..." A gunshot was heard as Johnathon Irons held is ATLAS 45 left a small trail of vapor from the point of contact in Shining Armors head who was lying on the ground yelling in disgruntled pain. But before anypony could react ATLAS Soliders each pointed their guns to the backs of the mane 6 as Johnathon walked over to a squirming Captain.

"Before you attempt I will state myself clear, I am not here just for you to deny my help, but it seems as though he will bleed out from the internal bleeding unless he is treated. Do you know how to remove sharpnel from a torn ligement?" He kicked his foot into the side as Cadence reached out towards Shining before being knocked back into her seat.

"Now as for myself, this is a hostile takeover and I must admit your are incomptent to letting your defenses down but with my Guranteed leadership yout administration is under my safety and the first order is for the execution of the war Criminal Chrysalis. Then as on cue the screen projection flashed with a Queen shivering from the brutal blows to he body as she was waiting against the flagpole of the Countrys flag before the firing sqaud with Ba27s unleashed a barriage of bullets tearing into her skin.

"What have you done? THIS IS NOT HOW WE HANDLE CRIMINALS!" Yelled out Celestia but before she could lash out to Irons she was kicked down as several Soliders fired slugs into the bottom halfs of her hooves temporarily stunning her movement.

"Tell me Celestia? What are you going to do? Lecture me? Punish me? Kill me?" A growing smile was seen as a gargle of words left Irons mouth as his body was displaying a specific acts of movements as for a brief second a demonic flash revealed what was truly under his skin. He then bent down as Shining Armor tryed to knock out Irons advances but a needle poked into his left leg as his legs went limp. Everypony gasped at the now breathing Shining.

"He will live but Celestia you haven't answered my question? Or is your so called frienship part of the solution?"

As Johnoathon Irons left Shining Armors side he went towards the windows of the Castle as he scanned down the streets of Canterlot as his men were pushing out the citizens of Canterlot into the streets as they were marched into the center of the city with guns firing out warning shots. The pegasus that were also in the sky were being deliberatily shot down, and several fires raced across the buildings as his plans were going according to schedule for the big night.

"Princess Celstia you have been instilling friendship into hearts the hearts of Equstrians for a millenia and it hasn't worked ONE TIME! These denizens don't even have the most basic building blocks to support the magic of friendship." As he looked at Twilight with a grim face.

"Little things like we ought to be tolerant of those who live in solitude and don't need the magic of friendship to live thier life. We ought to be tolerant of those biologicallt incapable of having frienship at all!" The screen still showing the remains of the dead Queen in the castle courtyard.

"That weaponizing the magic of frienship throught the Elements of Harmony is counter-intuituve to say the least. But you think that by marching up to everypony based on some fundalmentalist, religious principles, grab the Elements of Harmony, cripple the baddies and show them THE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP!"

Johnathon looked away from the windows as he reached and touched under the chin of the Princess as he continued into her ears.

"Hah! Give me a break!" He kicked her down onto her face as he went to the table and slammed his hands against the oakwood of the table.

"Ponies dont want perpetual peace. They want adventure, Magnitudes of CHAOS! We need need opposition that won't alter thier appearance to a grisly spectacle when the gloves come off!"

He caught his breathe as he turned his back to the Ponies admiring a picture of a infamous villain the mane 6 had stopped before the attack on the wedding several weeks before.

"You give them that, and they'll follow. And that's wher I come in..." Answered Discord as he turned to the Ponies who were left in shock upon seeing the person they had come to dread.

Discord was back.
