(Torian`s POV)

It was late in the night and I was sound asleep in my bed, dreaming of me and Minuette being together, closing in for a kiss. Suddenly I was awoken by a loud bang on the door. I jumped from the excitement and made my way to the door to see who could be here at this hour. Opening the door was a heavy panting Twilight, who seemed to be on the verge of passing out.

"Whoa Twilight, what is it?" I said offering her inside as she collapsed on the sofa.

"Message, for you... From the... Princesses." Twilight spoke between gasps as she levitated the scroll message into my hands. I unwrapped and unrolled the message and began to read.

"Dear Torian,

I`am afraid that a foe of mine from an entirely corrupted kingdom has returned. She is the Changeling Queen named Chrysalis. She and her Changelings can morph into anypony they see and are masters of disguise and manipulation. I need you to scout off the coast of Manehattan and find the Changelings so we can prepare defenses for their attack. We have full faith in you and we know you can complete this very important mission.

Signed, Princesses Celestia and Luna

After reading this, I felt almost felt like this could be Santa Cruz all over again, but those thoughts were immediately removed as I remembered that I`ve learned from those mistakes and I will not fail this task. Then I looked at a calmed down Twilight.

"Twilight, I need 2 things, A night-vision camera and a spell to silence my engine to avoid detection." I said as I lead her to the Hanger where I decided to take the Curtiss Jenny since she is slow and could keep up with the Changelings.

Twilight activated her horn and a camera appeared into my hand and a magical aura swirled into the engine.

"Thank You Twilight." I said looking down at her.

"Your welcome, good luck on your mission." Twilight said with a smile as I spun the propeller of the biplane, and the propeller spun faster and the usual sound of the engine wasn`t there.

I climbed into the cockpit and taxied the plane onto the runway, aiming at the night sky. I began pressing full power into the plane and like last time, the biplane takes off from the ground and into the air as I set a course to Manehattan. Luckily I have a map of Equestria inside the plane in case I needed it and looked at the directions to get to the big city.

After an hour, I saw the lights of Manehattan. It looked alot like New York City, with many ponies walking down the sidewalks and taxi carriages rushing around, but I didn`t dwell on it as I flew by some of the skyscrapers and out to sea where the Changelings should be and got one last look of the beautiful city.

Once out sea, I began moving along the Equestrian Mainland and hopefully spot the Changeling`s camp where they might be staying the night. Around 3:00am I was about to ed my search and head home, until I saw a light at Horseshoe Bay and saw a few tents. I quickly grabbed the camera and snapped a few photos before heading back to Ponyville.

Almost 30 minutes past and I touched down at the airstrip where I was met by the Princesses, Twilight and her friends. I killed the engine and hopped out the aircraft and gave Celestia a smile.

"I trust that your mission was a success?" Celestia asked with a smile.

"Mission accomplished, Theyre camping in Horseshoe Bay, I may be able to have a weapon to help." I said before leading them into my Hangers workshop. I picked up and showed them Equestria`s first 50 caliber sub-machine gun, The MP-2 Eviscerator.

The ponies looked at the weapon in amazement, since it runs on 50 caliber ammo, I used some of my aircraft`s reserved ammo for it and I was able to remember how a gun was built since my Dad showed me how he built his before the Stock Market Crash.

"Is it... safe?" Fluttershy asked a little scared.

"I was about to test it but you might want to cover your ears." I forewarned as the ponies covered their ears and I took aim at a tree and fired several rounds without problems. It was quite loud but I`ve been accustomed to it since I joined the Navy and hearing the larger 5 inch guns hammering targets aboard the Morrison.

"Wow, that must be some really good human technology, how did you make it?" Twilight asked curiously.

"My dad used to build some to defend our farm from people who try to steal our crops, so he taught me how to build a weapon in case I needed protection." I explained, but as much as I wanted to continue on about how the weapon operated, I needed alot of them to make sure the Royal Guard can use them and help defend Manehattan.

"Princess, I need more of these and assign them to every guard that will be helping to defend Manehattan." I said and Celestia nodded and understood that this could be war if something isn`t done.

Celestia charged up her horn and the gun soon began to multiply into more and even the clips of ammunition. As she was done, I counted over 2,000 guns and over 20,000 clips of ammunition.

With some crates and hay to keep them contained and safe for the defense, I knew deep inside this would be a battle that has felt like the Japanese conquering Eastern China with the mass murder and swift victory. Just thinking of what these Changelings can do if they did capture Manehattan would be a devastating blow to Equestria, and that must not happen.

After attaching them to the Curtiss Jenny, The elements of Harmony and Princesses will be at Manehattan but not to fight unless things got out of control. I grabbed my obsidian sword to be safe, ignited the engine and flew off again to Manehattan to prepare for an invasion.

After a 30 minute flight, the sun was beginning to peak over the horizon and seeing where all the Royal Guard were standing, I dropped the supplies and landed my aircraft a safe distance away. After meeting up with the troops, One came up to me.

"Im Commander Spear Tip, leader of the 301st and with orders from the Princess, Im at your command." He saluted as I did back to him.

"Good to meet you Commander, now first things first, Is the city evacuated?" I asked.

"Yes, all the citizens have been moved out by train or boat." Spear Tip replied.

"Good, now I want defenses set up, ready your arms and await further orders." I ordered as Spear Tip just saluted and walked over to his stallions.

After another 15 minutes, sandbags were set up and a secret spell casted by Spear to ensure nopony gets friendly fired and like the bombers of the Luftwaffe over London, The Changelings were seen from the horizon.
