A Second Chance
The Battle for Manehattan
Previous ChapterNext Chapter(Manehattan, Equestria: Torian`s POV)
The battle commenced as the Changelings were in gun range and when we opened fire, Many Changelings fell to our weapons and we divided them into smaller groups but the main objective was to capture Queen Chrysalis and stop the invasion, but based on the massive size of her army compared to the size of the Royal Guard armies, our chances were slim.
I opened my gun up and pretended like it was my AA gun on the Morrison and blasted a few Changeling heads off. But our defenses weren`t enough to hold them all back as they kept pursuing and the situation was becoming desperate and we could get overruned. Soon a few Changelings attacked a few of my squad and began to try and kill them, I was quick enough to save one of them but failed to save the other.
After 5 minutes of relentless combat, My gun had finally jammed with a bullet wedged inside the barrel and pulled out my obsidian sword and began slicing up the enemy like watermelons. I decided to try and see how the Cutiss Jenny could hold up such an attack like this by slicing them with her propeller it was almost suicide but someone needs to try and turn the tides.
"I`m going to do something crazy." I told Commander Spear Tip.
"Just don`t get yourself killed." He replied as ran to the plane and started up the engine.
Once in flight, I faced the enemy as sliced them up with my engine like meat through a fan. My engine held up fairly well that is until it finally quit due to a blockage in an hydraulic pipe and I was losing altitude. Then standing on the ground near the pier was a changeling that looked like a corrupted alicorn. Assuming its the queen, I bailed out of the aircraft and landed on the ground as the plane skidded on it`s left side and slammed into a building.
With little resistance I walked up to the queen some distance away and spoke.
"Queen Chrysalis, you have caused a major act of war and youve ended some lives. But since Iam on a bound, I`m giving you one chance, surrender now and call off the invasion, or die." I wield my sword in a battle stance ready to strike as she replied.
"Oh really now, how can you stop me when you server me." I then blanked out.
(3rd POV)
With Torian under Chrysalis`s control, She whispered into his ear.
"Kill the Element bearers and the Princess."
With a salute to his new master, Torian wielded his sword once more and ran to take out the ponies Chrysalis mentioned. Running quite fast, he managed to scale a few wrecked carriages before meeting up with Princess Celestia.
"Torian, whats going on out there?" Celestia asked with worry.
Seeing he didn`t respond, Torian brought his sword up and almost slashed the Sun Princess. Celestia flew up quickly to dodge and then noticed the green pupils in his eyes and this sight reminded her of the Canterlot Wedding when Shining Armor was possessed by Chrysalis.
Then she saw that he had scaled up a wrecked taxi carriage and tried to get her again and like before, she dodged and quickly went to find her sister and the Element bearers.
Once finding them, she landed and spoke.
"Elements, Torian is possessed by Queen Chrysalis." The Elements and Luna gasped in fright.
"What can we do?" Rarity asked in panic.
"You need to use the elements against him and in case him until I can find a reversal spell." Celestia said.
looking at each other and seeing no other option, The elements nodded in agreement. Suddenly,Torian emerged from the smoke of battle and walked toward his targets.
"I`m sorry good friend." Twilight said as she and her activated the Elements. Soon the Elements charged to their full power and shot a rainbow beam over at their corrupted friend.
Torian then saw he couldnt move as his legs began to be encased in stone and soon the rest of his body did as he became a statue. Then it was time to eliminate Chrysaliss army by blasting them with the elements by not turning them into stone, but by blasting them away.
As a majority of the Changeling army was defeated, they turned to their Princess, who had found a counter spell to relieve Torian of his enslavement.
Then Twilight activated the Elements to only free his head from stone to be cautious. Once his head was free Celestia spoke softly before she activated her spell.
"Please bring him back to us." Then touched TTorians head woth her horn, magic surged through the humans head and the green pupils vanished.
After the spell was complete, they looked to see if it worked.
(Torian`s POV)
Finally free from what happened, I found my body encased in stone, then looked at my friends with worried expressions on their faces and asked.
"What happened and why am I in stone?"
Then happiness spread upon their faces and the girls used their elements to free my body from stone before receiving my answer.
"Queen Chrysalis casted a mind spell on you and caused you to turn on us." Luna answered as I felt absolutely terrible for trying to kill my good friends. then I looked into the direction of battle where a few Changelings and Royal Guards were on hoof-to-hoof combat as I said.
"I know how to end this." before running over to my foe again but this time with a plan.
Approaching the Queen, she hadn`t realized I was myself again and used it to my advantage. "I trust that you have gave them a good death?" the Changeling Queen said with a devious smirk.
I looked at her with one of my own as I continued to approach her before shouting out.
"Lookout behind you!" She quickly turned to see what was behind her as I used my sword and swung it to slice her head off. The blade quickly did the job as I whispered in her ear as she was dying.
"Evil you were, but smart not so much." then her head fell to the ground as her body fell in a another direction. I picked up Queen`s head up by her hair ad paraded it through the streets of Manehattan to see all the remaining Changelings cease the fighting and looked at me as approached to my friends. I then turned to the Changelings and spoke out.
"Changelings, your queen is defeated, You now have a choice to make, either leave Equestria and never return, or be executed."
All the Changelings took flight and left Manehattan to God knows where, but all that mattered was that we saved a city and possibly Equestria as the Royal Guard, my friends, and the Princesses cheered knowing that this was a glorious day and victory is won.
On Earth of Late April in 1945. Washington D.C.
"This is a solemn, but glorious hour. I wished that Franklin. D. Roosevelt had lived to see this day. Dwight. D. Eisenhower informs me that the forces of Germany had surrendered to the United Nations. The flags of freedom fly all over Europe. In this victory we join and offer our thanks to the providence, which has guided and sustained us through the dark days of adversity and into light.
Much remains to be done, The victory won in the West, Must now be won in the East. The whole world must be cleansed of the evil from which half of the world has been freed. United, the peace loving nations have demonstrated in the West that there arms are stronger by far than the might of dictators are the tyranny of military cliques that once called us "Soft and weak". The power of the people to defend themselves against all enemies against all enemies will be proved in the Pacific War as it was proved in Europe." President Harry .S. Truman.
