Chapter 1
Load Full StoryNext Chapter"Come and die maggots!" Lu Bu shouted as he swung his halberd slashing through five soldiers and sending ten of them flying into the wall. Blood dripped off the end of his halberd from soldiers he had slain. Hearing footsteps from behind, he spun slashing his halberd horizontally cutting through the first five unlucky soldiers who entered the gate as well causing their blood to splatter across the walls as well the ground.
The man was china greatest warrior known as Lu Bu. Lu Bu had at first served Ding Yuan, helping to slay the Ten Eunuchs. Though he betrayed Ding Yuan cutting him down and offering his head to Dong Zhuo as a peace offering. There he had served the tyrant and fought many of his battles for him. After the battle of Hu Lao Gate, he killed Dong Zhuo on Diao Chan's requests. His adopted father's followers disagreed with Lu Bu's actions and chased him out from the capital. Left with no land of his own, he briefly wanders into Yuan Shao's care and assists the battle against Gongsun Zan at Chang Shan. Though his rival is defeated thanks to Lu Bu's efforts, Yuan Shao began to fear Lu Bu and now wants him dead due to his past treachery. Liu Bei sheltered him at Xia Pi, but Lu Bu takes the lord to be a weak ruler thus taking Xiapi from him. It is here that Lu Bu found himself alone with Chen Gong being captured as well Zhang Liao. His men that had deserted him even made off with his trusted companion Red Hare.
Lu Bu could hear more soldiers rushing in. He could recognize his men within Cao Cao and Liu Bei armies.
"HA! It doesn't matter how many you send!" Lu Bu shouted as he twirled his halberd around above his head before finally slamming the pommel into the ground causing the soldiers to back away in fear. Before they could react, Lu Bu rushed towards them slashing upward cutting through six soldiers before spinning and slashed horizontally killing five more soldiers sending their bodies flying through the air where they landed on the ground five yards away.
"You keep sending them, I'll keep knocking them down!" Lu Bu followed shouted while swinging his weapon slashing through ten soldiers causing blood to splatter on the ground as the bodies landed on the ground with a thud. Lu Bu turned towards the other soldiers who stared at him with fear. Lu Bu began to slowly walk towards them before they let out shouts of fear and began to run away despite having Lu Bu outnumbered.
"A million of your insects won't be enough to defeat me!"
Lu Bu began to walk towards where the gate was located. As he walked towards it, he could see Xiapi was mostly flooded now with bodies lying afloat in the water as well as the slain causing the river to soon become red with their blood. Lu Bu reached the drawbridge and stood in the middle as he watched soldiers rush towards him. Lu Bu simply raised his halberd above his head before slamming it back down sending twenty soldiers into the air. He simply stood back up not caring about the bodies falling around him.
"CAO CAO! FACE ME YOU COWARD!"
His yell was replied with more soldiers rushing towards him with their weapons raised.
"AWAY VERMIN!" Lu Bu swung his halberd horizontally then simply reversed it swinging back slicing through every soldier in its path. Lu Bu quickly turned to block three swords that were aimed at his head. Lu Bu simply pushed them back then quickly swung his halberd killing the three as well knocking them into the river below.
"Quite impressive for a beast."
Lu Bu glanced up with a sneer on his face. The man that he sought to kill was standing right in front of him. Cao Cao stood twenty yards away, with Liu Bei at his side and his three brothers. Soldiers stood in front of them with more and more appearing.
"Cao Cao! Face me!"
Cao Cao answer was him raising his hand then throwing it down causing the soldiers to rush towards Lu Bu who simply raised his halberd waiting for them to come closer. "COME THEN COWARDS! MEET YOUR DEATH BY THE GREAT LU BU!"
When they were near Lu Bu swung his halberd cutting down the first five then quickly raised his halberd to deflect a sword giving him an opening to cut through the unlucky soldier. Without stopping he spun slashing horizontally through six soldiers then slashed diagonally on the seventh one and immediately swung down vertically through a soldier.
Unaware to everyone, a person was watching the battle from a distance. The person was Zuo Ci the old mystic who sought the land for a great hero to bring peace to this land that was in chaos and found it in Cao Cao though he tried to change the conqueror.
"So this is where the great Lu Bu dies." He stated as he watched Lu Bu cut down soldiers left and right but everyone has their limit and Lu Bu was reaching his. Zuo Ci watched the warrior attacks becoming more slower and sluggish.
"He fights even when he's the last one standing." Zuo Ci spoke as he watched Lu Bu pierced through three soldiers then quickly pulled his blade out and spun swinging in a straight line horizontally killing the three soldiers that were coming up behind him.
Zuo Ci however, felt...something in one of his talismans. Zuo Ci brought the glowing talisman to his face and stared into it. His eye's widened at what he was seeing before they went back to his calm expression. He glanced towards Lu Bu who was standing there panting hard from what Zuo Ci could tell even as Soldiers began to slowly advance towards him.
"Seems the fates have something else planned for you Lu Bu." Zuo Ci began to chant something under his breath into the talisman causing it to glow brighter. Zuo Ci lets go of it as it floated in midair before flying towards Lu Bu.
"Let's hope this new world has more to offer you, Lu Bu."
Lu Bu slashed three more soldiers while five more replaced the dead ones. Lu Bu glanced around himself to see soldiers had surrounded him while he slowly stood up panting hard. Though tired he still glared at Cao Cao who was slowly approaching with his sword.
"You'll fight even if you're the last man standing.....but that all ends here. This battlefield......will be your last!"
Lu Bu response was to slam his halberd into the ground causing the soldiers to take a step back. "Humph!"
Lu Bu glared at Cao Cao as he spoke. "Though you may steal everything else I have, you cannot steal my might!"
Lu Bu twirled his halberd around before holding it behind him with one hand. "I don't care about you, or anyone else in this land. No one's getting in my way!"
Before anyone could move, a talisman flew in front of Lu Bu glowing causing everyone to stare at it.
"CAO CAO! ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR TRICKS!?" Lu Bu shouted.
The talisman glowed brighter before there was a flash causing everyone to shield their eyes. When everyone looked they saw Lu Bu was gone.
Lu Bu groaned as he felt light hit his face causing him to cover his face with his hand.
"What the hell did Cao Cao do to me!?"
Lu Bu saw he appeared to be an alleyway in a city. What caught his attention was the sound of battle causing him to smile.
"Time to have some fun." He turned his attention to the light and saw it was reflecting off his halberd. Lu Bu slowly stood up then noticed he felt like he was on all fours. He didn't care as he walked towards his weapon. When he was close he reached for it. "What the hell!?" Instead of a hand he saw it was a red hoof that had armor on it. Glancing out of the corner of his eye he saw a mirror and what he saw caused his jaw to drop.
Staring at him was a red horse that his red fur with a black mane. On top of his head was his pheasant tail headpiece. Around his chest was what appeared to be gold armor. He also saw a symbol of a demon looking thing on his butt.
"WHY THE HELL AM I A HORSE!?" Lu Bu shouted unaware his voice caught the attention of two changelings.
"What was that?" One of the changelings asked the other.
"Might be a pony." The two headed down towards where the noise came from.
Lu Bu meanwhile was still staring at himself before finally shaking his head. "Doesn't matter. As long as I can still fight!" With that said he walked over to his halberd and reached for it forgetting that he had hoofs but was still able to pick it up.
"HEY!" A voice shouted from behind causing Lu Bu to look behind himself to see two bug ponies causing him to let out a laugh. "Ha! Two insects trying to intimidate me? Don't make me laugh!"
The changelings growled as their horns glowed. "Puny pony need to learn his place!"
Lu Bu glared at the two before walking towards them.
In the street by the alleyway were five changelings who were waiting orders. "Sir when do we move?"
The one turning towards the changeling seemed to be the leader. "We will move out when 0098and 099 show up. They should have been here by now."
One changeling opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by two changelings flying out of the alleyway slaming into the building by them before falling to the ground. The two bodies had blood coming from them causing the changelings eye's to widen before they turned towards the alleyway to see an earth pony wielding a strange weapon. The pony glanced over towards them.
"I am Lu Bu. I hope you will provide me with entertainment." Lu Bu spoke as he pointed his halberd at them.
The changelings response were for their horns to glow as they fired spells at the pony who simply stood there letting them hit without moving an inch. The changelings eyes widened when they saw it didn't seem to faze him.
"It that it insects!?" Lu Bu bellowed causing them to shake out of their shock as they rushed him. One changeling simply stood back as he watched his soldiers rush towards the pony but what happened next caused his mouth to open in fear. The pony simply swung his halberd like it was a sword slashing through three changelings killing them, then impaled the other two on his halberd. Lu Bu turned towards the last changeling as he lifted the two bodies with ease and tossed them aside where they smashed into a wall then crumpled down to the ground.
"Is that all you have? This is boring."
The changeling didn't say anything but stepped back and flew off with Lu Bu watching it go in the direction of a castle where he saw more of the insects.
"Perhaps this could be more fun than I thought." With that being said, he began to make his way towards the castle. What he saw caused him to smile as he saw lots and lots of vermin waiting to be crushed. He even saw one changeling yelling to the others.
"This pony just killed them with ease!" The changeling shouted causing the other changeling to sigh.
"I highly doubt it."
Lu Bu stepped up to the two and spoke. "Is it hard to imagine my strength insect?" This caused the two to turn towards him as Lu Bu swung his halberd splitting the two in half making blood splatter. The other changelings looked at him with anger while Lu Bu twirled his halberd around causing the blood to fly off as he stopped and pointed his weapon at them. "I am growing tired of this!" The changelings response were to rush towards him.
"Aaah." Queen Chrysalis winced in pain. 'Why does it feel like every minute a piece of me is dying?' Chrysalis thought. Chrysalis had seen enough of these ponies.
Instead of staying on the balcony, she walked inside; just in time to see Twilight trying to free Cadence.
"What do you think you are doing"? Chrysalis asked while using her magic to lift Twilight up.
"I was just ehm trying to free Cadence that’s all." Twilight replied with a cheeky smile.
"Come to me my subjects." Chrysalis commanded.
Suddenly 10 Changelings came flying into the wedding room.
"What is it my queen?" One of her subjects asked.
"Aaaah could you please." Chrysalis trailed off.
"What is the matter your majesty?" The Changeling asked.
"A little headache that’s all." Chrysalis said while rubbing her head. "Sergeant, take your men and see if there are any guards inside of the castle." Chrysalis ordered.
"But my queen; we already scouted the entire castle twice I do not think that--."
"DO IT NOW! THAT IS AN ORDER!" Chrysalis shouted.
"Y-Yes your majesty." The Changeling replied. "You heard the queen, move out!" The sergeant ordered. The doors of the palace opened as six of the Changelings flew out of the room, leaving Chrysalis with only four Changelings as guards.
"Now as for you two." Chrysalis said while giving Princess Cadence and Shining Armor a mischievous glare. "I'm going to make the two of you suffer."
"I will not let you hurt them!" Twilight shouted.
"And what are you going to do about it, I defeated Celestia. What makes you think I can’t defeat you?" Chrysalis asked mockingly.
"I-I can--."
"You can sit and watch how my Changelings conquer all of Equestria! Hahahaha." Chrysalis interrupted while laughing manically.
"Twilight don’t!" Cadence pleaded.
"Silence!" Chrysalis shouted. "Come now Shining Armor." Chrysalis said while using her mind control spell to make Shining Armor walk over to her.
"I wouldn’t want my husband to miss out on all the fun now would AAAH WHY AM I HAVING THIS DREADFUL HEADACHE?! Chrysalis shouted in agony.
"What's wrong 'queen'? Can’t handle the pressure?" Rainbow Dash asked mockingly.
"Silence! You two go and find those six others I just sent to explore the castle." Chrysalis ordered.
"Yes, your majesty!" The Changelings responded.
"Now back to the matter at hoof." Chrysalis said while walking towards Cadence. "How does it feel to lose everything you have ever cared about?" Chrysalis asked with a dark tone.
"I-It f-feels…."
"It feels what"? Chrysalis asked mockingly.
"It feels--."
"Gaah!"
"Look out!"
"Kill it!"
There were screams of terror as all of the ponies and Changelings listened to what was going on just outside of the wedding hall.
"What is going on out there?" Chrysalis asked.
"I do not know your majesty." A Changeling grunt replied.
Suddenly the screaming died down, the only thing that could be heard were faint hoof steps. *click* *clock* *click* *clock*.
With every step taken by whatever stood on the other side of that door; Chrysalis flinched a little. Whatever stood behind those doors had just taken down eight of her Changeling subjects.
Lu Bu marched down the hallway after disposing off the insects outside and was now cutting down the ones inside as he neared where he thought most of them were located. He looked down the hallway to see two large double doors. Standing in front of it were about fourteen changelings. Lu Bu smiled as he walked towards them causing the changelings to glance towards him.
"I thought we had all ponies captured?"
"Just get him!"
Lu Bu watched as they approached and he simply swung his halberd slashing them down and continued to march forward where he saw more changelings where he immediately rushed them and cut them down.
"Gaah!"
"Look out!"
"Kill it!"
Lu Bu slashed down a changeling then turned pierced the last one through the chest. Lu Bu turned towards the doors and threw the changeling off his halberd causing it to crash through the doors.
Everypony in the room flinched as a changeling was thrown into the room with a hole in it's chest where blood had begun to pour out.
"You two, attack whatever did that!" Chrysalis ordered. The Changelings nodded in response. They started to run towards the blown up doors only for a weapon to swing killing them. Everypony eyes widened as the two changelings were split in half.
Chrysalis looked at the scene in horror, her two subjects laid dead on the hardened floor of the wedding room.
Chrysalis eyes widened in shock when she saw a red pony wielding a strange weapon. But what frightened her the most was that on its right appendage was blood, the blood of her subjects.
"Your insects were pathetic." Lu Bu spoke.
'Why am I, queen Chrysalis afraid of this pony!?' Chrysalis thought. "I do not know who you are, but I queen Chrysalis am going to make you pay for the things you have done!" Chrysalis roared while shooting a bolt of magic at Lu Bu who simply let it hit him. Everypony eyes widen as they didn't see a burn or scratch mark on the pony.
"Pathetic!" Lu Bu shouted he rushed swinging his halberd the queen who quickly summoned a shield but was still sent flying backward slamming into the wall. Lu Bu was immediately on her while she simply teleported across the room shooting another bolt of magic at Lu Bu who dodged while rushing towards her.
What Lu Bu and Chrysalis didn't notice was that a certain lavender unicorn had made her way over to the bride. "Quickly, go to him while you still have the chance." Twilight said while freeing Cadence from the sticky Changeling goo that had her hoofs tied to the ground.
Cadence quickly made he way over to Shining Armor; she looked at her husband and laid a hood on his muzzle. She shed a tear and hugged him tightly. Suddenly sparks came out of her horn, and suddenly a small heart appeared and made it's way over to Shining Armor's head. The heart popped in front of his head.
"Huh? wha, huh? Is-is the wedding over?" Shining Armor asked. Cadence smiled in response.\
"Quickly! Preform your spell." Twilight said.
"No." Shining Armor said while trying to preform the spell. His horn gave off some sparks, but no magic came out of it. "My power is useless now, I don't have the strength to repel them." Shining Armor said defeated.
Cadence trotted over towards him and gave him a hug. "My love will give you strength." Cadence said while hugging him tightly.
Shining Armor closed his eyes and hugged her back. Suddenly Shining Armor's horn started glowing; Cadence horn did the same. Their horns connected with one another and a bright purple/pink light covered them. Cadence one's messed up mane and coat were returned to its normal state and her energy returned, Shining Armor's energy seemed to have returned to him as well.
The light became brighter and brighter, suddenly Cadence and Shining Armor's eyes became a bright white and the light became so bright that everybody had to close their eyes. Suddenly a big heart appeared. The magical energy became bigger and bigger until it 'exploded' sending a huge wave of magic across Canterlot. The magic didn't seem to affect the ponies nor Lu Bu.
Chrysalis was literally in a fight for her survival as this pony.....no demon was either smashing through her shield or almost impaling her. She dodged the halberd but not enough as it sliced through her side causing her let out a grunt of pain making her fall to the ground in pain. She looked up to see the demon thrusting his weapon down only for it to impale the floor as a huge magic wave hit her.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! "Chrysalis screamed while she was sent flying off the balcony.
"What the hell?" Lu Bu spoke to himself as he watched this wave blow those things away.
Cadence and Shining Armor landed on the ground and hugged each other. Twilight quickly trotted over towards the recently freed Princess Celestia.
"I'm fine, you have a real wedding to attend to." Celestia said in her motherly tone.
"Whoa wait one minute." Rainbow Dash said.
"What is it Dash?" Applejack asked.
"I know we're all happy and so, but we still don't know who that is!" Rainbow Dash said while pointing her hoof at Lu Bu who pulled his halberd out from the floor.
