Chapters (May,4,1945, USS Morrison, Okinawa, Japan, Lt Torian Scotterian POV)
As a 21 year old Lieutenant aboard the Fletcher-Class Destroyer, The USS Morrison, I had my fair share of seeing how nasty the war could get, but there was no one else who always had my back than Jerry Vinstile. We have been good war buddies since training and fought along side one another throughout the war. I`ll start from the beginning.
I entered service aboard the Morrison since 1943, She was a beautiful destroyer since she was built a few months ago. During the campaign on Guadalcanal, We have fought many Japanese warships trying to regain control the island and Henderson field. The Marines captured the airstrip on their first assault on the island and the Japanese tried over and over to recapture it. There were times when we attacked them in 'The Slot', which was a wide channel that runs from Guadalcanal to the Japanese base on Rabaul.
When Guadalcanal was ours, We headed North to the Philippines and fight off any enemy resistance at Luzon and Manila. It was not long before the Philippines were won then it was to the Marianas, Samar, Palau, Peleliu, Saipan, Guam, and finally Leyte Gulf, which was the bloodiest of naval battles we have ever encountered and the introduction to the Japanese newest, deadliest weapon, Kamikazes, suicide planes rigged to explode to destroy our fleet.
In April of 1945, it was time for the invasion of Okinawa, but it would not be easy knowing that this is near the Japanese home islands and they know this territory far better than we did and a battle does not come lightly as we have lost many marines and army troops on the island. But this is where everything changed forever.
It was May,4,1945, In the heat of battle, Me and Jerry were at our 50 caliber MGs shooting at the attacking aircraft surrounding our fleet after an AA gunner was killed, so I assumed control. Every sailor knew how relentless the Japanese can be and how desperate they are to turn back the tides. But as we blazed the enemy, I saw a B5N2 'Kate' broke through the AA fire and flew into the destroyer, I was only able to damage it but the plane kept coming until it slammed into the #1 funnel and bridge possibly obliterating anyone inside it.
Almost 2 minutes later another plane came close to crashing into the Morrison, but I shot the plane down, but the plane exploded as it hit the water and shrapnel flew towards me, One 3 inch piece of shrapnel lodged itself above my left eye. Then 3 more kamikazes rammed the ship like torpedoes and the Morrison became a floating fire of wreckage and it only took less than 3 minutes to sink. As I abandoned ship, I saw Jerry being picked up by LT 046.
I tried to swim as fast as I could but I was sucked more than 20 feet from the surface before the superstructure of the Destroyer`s #2 funnel slammed into me and I faded into the darkness, but I never knew that fate had other plans for me.
(Horseshoe Bay, Equestria. Twilight`s POV)
I was out with all my friends on a nice picnic at Horseshoe Bay and we enjoyed the lovely summer breeze as Rainbow Dash and Applejack began to compete against each other, Pinkie building sculptures out of sand, Fluttershy was studying the marine life on the shore, and Rarity was sunbathing on the beach.
Me and my friends had recently saved the Crystal Empire from King Sombra, an evil unicorn king who tried to reclaim the Crystal Empire. Now it reflects all the light and love across Equestria thanks to my brother, Shining Armor and his wife, who is also my Sister-in-Law, Princess Cadence. Princess Celestia sent a letter for us to take a little vacation from the saving Equestria and enjoy ourselves. My friends and I picked Horseshoe Bay because of the beautiful beaches.
Applejack and Rainbow were tired and hot from their competitions they had to see who was better and I can tell from their sweaty faces and the looks of them passing out.
"How doggy, I`m as hot as a rattlesnake in the desert." Applejack said in her southern accent.
"I agree with ya there." Rainbow agreed.
"Hey want to come inside my sandy beach hut?" Pinkie offered. "It has an AC."
Both Applejack and Rainbow Dash looked at each other with a puzzling look and went inside, to their surprise there was an actual AC unit inside her hut and Pinkie only smiled from ear to ear.
"Where did ya- never mind." Applejack diminished the question, knowing that there was no logical explanation for it.
"Hey- um Twilight, um I was searching the beach for new creatures and um I found something laying on the beach and um I was wondering if you wouldn`t mind if you took a look at it?" Fluttershy said timidly.
I honestly wanted to study something outside Equestrian history, spells, and creatures and look at something foreign. All my friends gathered around to see what was happening.
"What seems to be happening, Twilight darling?" Rarity asked in her polish voice.
"Fluttershy said she found something on the beach and we are going to check it out." I said with enthusiasm.
"Sounds like a boring egghead thing." Rainbow groaned unamused.
"Who knows what this thing is and if it is a creature we have never seen before, Celestia knows what could happen." Twilight said as she thought about the possibilities.
"Alright, fine if it attacks, I`m going to give it a taste of the pain-bow." Rainbow said pressing her hooves as if she were ready for a fight.
"OK, Fluttershy can you lead us to where you saw this thing you mentioned?" I asked. She nodded and we all followed our friend almost 5 minutes up the beach before we saw something blue on the sand.
"What is that thing?" Rarity asked trying to get a better view.
"Only one way to find out." Rainbow said as we all moved closer to the object. It was pale with black hair on it`s head, no horn or wings, had some torn clothing and had a piece of some shiny object across his left eye.
"What is this thing, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked a bit frightened.
"I`m not sure Fluttershy, but what ever it is we need to help it." I said concerned on helping this creature.
"But, Twilight, what if it`s dangerous and attacks?" Rarity asked with a little fear.
"We have the Elements of Harmony remember silly?" Pinkie said happily.
"That`s right, now lets get this thing back to Ponyville." I said as we all worked together to find out more about this bizarre creature.

A Mysterious New World (Revised)
(Golden Oaks Library, Equestria, Torian`s POV)
After what felt like an empty void of darkness, I saw a light and approached towards it probably leading me into heaven with the sight of angels singing. But I could not have been more wrong, For it turns out I was trying to open my eyes. It wouldnt have made sense because I only remembered the Morrisons funnel crashing into me, but the question stayed the same, How did I survive that kind of ordeal?
As I was finally able to open my eyes, I saw a wood ceiling, almost like actual wood as if I were inside a tree house. I took a look at my surroundings and saw that I was in a bed with books and scrolls across the room. "Whoever`s room this is, sure does love his/her research " I thought to myself as I got out of the bed. I looked out the window and it turned out to be approximately 2 after midnight and that this was not a tree house like a little building on top of a tree, but rather a house built inside of the tree.
"Odd architecture, I`m actually impressed how someone could pull this off." I thought once more and continued to look around the new scenery.
I even saw the buildings of some houses with roofs that looked as if they were built out of hay or something, it seemed as if wherever I ended up in was seriously behind on all the technological advances we had invented over the past 40 years since the 19th century. The area also looked as if it were never touched, This also makes little to no sense. Either I was out way longer than I thought and was transported somewhere free of war or I was captured by the Japs and were waiting til I was recovered for me to spill vital Intel.
Suddenly, I snapped back into reality when I heard what appears to be footsteps coming up the stairs, I ran through my thoughts for a moment of what I was going to do, because if this was the Japanese`s new way to persuade me into a false sense of security, well they thought wrong. Then I heard voices coming from behind the door.
"Twilight youve been going over this for the past 2 days now, when can you give it a rest?" A younger boys voice spoke out.
"What kind of a name is Twilight? Was a family trying to help me?" I thought to myself.
"Not until I get some information about this creature and learn about it." An older voice that sounded sister-like.
"Thats all I need to hear, Im out." I thought as I opened the window.
I looked down and saw a stable branch below me, I used it as a footing area to close the window and cover my tracks. I climbed down easily since it reminded me of my Naval Training. As I landed on the ground, I instantly dove into a bush and peeked to see any security. Seeing nothing, I crept out and made my way to a building for cover before I plot out my next move, but it turns out I was spotted by a girl`s screaming.
"Hey, Stop!" This was my cue to getting the hell out of there and I began running. But it turns out that the girls voice I heard wasnt the only one after me, it was 6. As I took a look back behind me, they were not human at all, they were some kind of horses, with either wings, horns, or neither. but with no time to continue thinking about it, I kept running even when I entered some dankly forest.
Then a rainbow blur rushed out until it got in front of me. With my natural instinct kicking in, I used my momentum to push the horse`s head down into the ground as I jumped over it. I then rolled onto the ground before I got up and kept running. But I never knew that would come back to get me soon, literally, the same rainbow-maned horse flew right in behind me and pushed me on my back with a searing pain that felt as if I got hit by a 15 mph train.
I stumbled to the ground with the rainbow-maned horse overlooking me and what I never expected took me completely by surprise.
"How was that? cuz I got more where that came from." She said in a tomboyish tone.
I lifted myself off the ground and as I did, the 5 other colorful horses surrounded me, with no way out. n a situation like this and no escape will come to my mind, I knew when I was beaten. So in respect, I got to my knees and put my hands over the back of my head and said. "You win, I Surrender."
"There is no need for that, sugarcube." the orange horse spoke in a southern accent.
"We just want to know more about you darling." the white horse said in a polish voice as if she were rich or something.
"So, you dont want to know about the American Navys movement and your not part of the Japanese?" I asked to confirm what they were saying was true and pushing away all the logic that ponies can talk.
"The American- Navy?" The purple horse questioned.
"What are the J-Japanese?" the yellow timid horse asked.
And just like that, realization hit me, I was no longer on earth and these colorful horses have no idea there was a big war going on in my world. But then I figured it was time to for an introduction.
As I got up I began to ask. "Well as long as we are good, what the heck are you and where am I?" The purple horse walked up and spoke up.
"Your in Equestria, a land founded by ponies of all kind and ruled by 2 Princesses, Celestia and Luna and my name is Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy." she pointed at each of the horses as they were introduced.
"Pleasure to meet you, Im Lieutenant Torian 'Golden' Scotterian, Aboard the USS Morrison of the United States Navys 75th Fleet ." I introduced myself before asking. "So what species are you?"
"Me and Applejack are regular ponies, Twilight and Rarity are unicorns and Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are pegasi." Pinkie explained with glee.
"May we ask the same to ya, sugarcube?" Applejack asked.
"Well, Im just surprised Im seeing actual pegasi and unicorns since where I come from, you are just mythological beings." I explained before answering. "And Im whats known as a human."
"I`ve never heard of humans before, which means since your new to Equestria and I can advance my studies a whole new level." Twilight said with glee.
"Don`t worry about her, she gets like this whenever she becomes the ultimate egghead." Rainbow said unamused by her friends obsession with research.
"And I must say that I really must do something about your clothing, it would look spectacular without all those tears and rips." Rarity pointed out as I looked at my navy uniform.
"And I still need to plan you 'Welcome to Ponyville ' party by tomorrow and -" Pinkie said before being cut off by Applejack
"Shall we continue this conversation in the morning because I`m tuckered out like a bull after a rodeo." Applejack said before yawning in exhaustion.
I had to agree with her, I was pretty tired after running almost 3 miles. So Me and Twilight left to the tree house while the others left to their homes and I`m just going to say this that I may actually like it here.

Hopefully I don`t bore you guys too much, Anyways Some romance will arise with a certain background pony in the next chapter and in the future, a villain will have revenge for what the Mane 6 did, until then enjoy.
What happened in the War
(Torian Scotterian`s POV)
Morning rose in this place called 'Equestria' as I felt the gleaming, warm rays of the sun. I awoke from my slumber and made my way to the bathroom to freshen up. Let me tell you, I havent slept so well and so comfortable in 2 years before I join the Navy, on board the Morrison, because the mattresses on the ships beds were metal and got hard and cold every night. I looked at my mirrors reflection and saw that I had some beard and side burn stubble, indicating that I havent shaved for god knows how long, and my breathe smelled as if I ate a poisoned rat and somehow never got sick, I needed to get my naval uniform fixed up, and the shiny piece of shrapnel was still lodged in the top of my eye.
"Man I`m a wreck, it looked as if I were fighting on the shores of Guadalcanal for almost 3 months without taking care of my hygiene." I thought to myself as I looked around for something to take care of my unhygienic self. Luckily, I found a toothbrush and tooth paste, and comb for my messy hair, and tweezers for shrapnel removal. After brushing my teeth and combing my hair, it was time for the removal of a metal piece of a Japanese plane lodged on my face.
"Alright, here goes." I said to myself as I brought the tweezers on the 3 inch piece of shrapnel and slowly began to pull it out. It was difficult because of the pain of how deep it was and I was doing my absolute best not to cause an ear-piercing scream that could make anyone go deaf in a 3 mile radius. Just on the verge of giving up there was a knock at the door that startled me and I lost my concentration, causing me to yank the piece of airplane metal right out like a dentist removing a tooth.
"Torian, Are you in there? Come down for breakfast." Twilight called. I would have been happy at the term 'Breakfast', But I had a wound and stubble to deal with. "I`ll be down in a moment." I called back as I bandaged the open wound on my head and got a razor to deal with my overgrowing facial hair.
Getting down the stairs and entering the kitchen I saw a large stack of pancakes that looked and smelled so good I was drooling like a waterfall. Twilight saw this a laughed a little. "Well, aren`t you hungry?" She asked.
"Oh you bet, I haven`t seen food this delicious before I left to Naval Training." I spoke as I sat down and savored the flavorful delicacy. This also earned a questionable look from the unicorn and I most likely set myself up for this question. "What is Naval Training?"
"Oh, I`ll tell you about it later when all your friends come by later." I replied. Twilight understood and was about to dig in when the familiar younger voice spoke out. "Twilight, You got a message from the Princess!" I looked to see that it was a baby dragon, I was stunned in amazement. "Um, hi?" he asked unsure why I was staring.
"Excuse my staring, but I can`t believe dragons actually exist, I mean dragons were my squadrons symbol before-" I cut myself off remembering to not talk about the tragedy over Santa Cruz. But the dragon was elated that his species was well recognized back on Earth.
"So whats your name?" I asked the baby dragon.
"I`m Spike, Twilight's #1 assistant." Spike replied. "What about you?"
"Torian James Scotterian, glad to meet you." I extended my hand out to shake his claws.
"Well I have to go, I need to pick up a few things for the Library, I`ll be back." Spike said as he left, then I looked over at Twilight who had finished reading whatever was on the scroll and spoke. "The Princesses have both agreed to come and meet you for the first time."
At this point I began to get nervous, not only because they were rulers, its that they were royals and I`ve never met royalty before, than my train of thought was interrupted by knocking at the door. Twilight got up and opened the door to see her other 5 friends.
"Hey Twilight" They all said in unison.
"Hey, everypony, the Princesses will be here soon so we don`t have a lot of time." Twilight said as all her friends came inside. I had finished the 6 stacks of pancakes on the plate and like I mentioned before, I had never tasted good food before my Naval Training. Just the Rarity comes up to me.
"Darling, I should really do something about that uniform and I could make you a wardrobe of clothing, This could be a new challenge a I could start a new line." I saw the enthusiasm within her and decided to let her go for it. "Go ahead." Was all I said before she activated her magic and in an instant, my uniform was back to its former glory with all my badges still where they should be.
"I`m astonished, Thanks Rarity, it looks just like new!" I exclaimed as I continued looking. Rarity gave a generous smile and said "Anything for a friend, darling." Right then I froze, Jerry used to say that to me whenever I was in trouble and he came to help me. Then I felt as if a flashback took hold of Jerry speaking. "Anything for a friend." Jerry spoke. I was snapped back into reality when I heard my name. "Wh-What is yes?"
"Are you alright, sugarcube, yah froze like a statue for a moment there?" Applejack asked with a little worry. I was about to answer when knocking was heard from the door. "Man its almost like every few minutes before I hear a door knocking when Im trying to think." I thought as Twilight opened the door to reveal Equestrias rulers.
"Princesses." Twilight bowed and so did everypony else as did I. "Please Twilight, no need for bowing." The tall white alicorn spoke. as she saw me and gave a smile. "You must be the creature Twilight wrote to me about." I looked up and tried to look as professional.
"Yes, your majesty, Lieutenant Torian 'Golden' Scotterian at your service." I said formally and earned a smile from the midnight blue alicorn as well. "You must be Celestia." I pointed at the tall white alicorn. "And Luna." I pointed at the smaller blue alicorn. Celestia was a little taller than I was but I was about 4 inches taller than Luna and the ponies were about as tall as my waist.
"You seem to know about us, but we all want to know about you." Luna said as everypony gathered to hear my story and human history. "Tell us, what is it like in your world?" Celestia asked as sat down in a chair.
"Let me warn you that there are many things my species have done and that I`m not proud of." I warned everypony in the room. "My country, The United States of America, were engaged with a war with 2 other countries Germany and Japan and I happen to be a soldier in the war against Japan." I said as ponies gasped to hear about a war.
"How did this war start?" Rainbow asked quite uncomfortably. "This war was started by a dictator named Adolf Hitler, he wanted to prove Germany wasn`t a big of a coward like in World War 1. He invaded countries, sent out submarines to sink allied supply convoys and had the biggest and most powerful army the world has ever witnessed." I began as I saw the terrified look on their faces. I spared a few details like the Holocaust, some battles, and how Mussolini was killed by his own country after he surrendered Italy in the war.
"So was there a turning point?" Luna asked. I smiled remembering a special day that shall never be forgotten.
"Yes. it was called D-Day in 1944, when American, British and Canadian armies stormed 5 beaches from the Germans in France and giving us a strong foothold in Europe." I explained before remembering what happened in the Pacific. "But in 1942, America had beaten Japans Navy by stopping an invasion on Midway and we began our offensive attacks against the Japanese Empire." The ponies were glad to know that the Axis Powers were vulnerable but never knew what they were capable of doing during the desperate times of 1944-1945 like Japanese kamikazes and the German 'Sonderkommando Elbe' Germanys ramming squadron.
But I set myself up for a question for something I wasn`t proud of and learned to keep certain thoughts in my head. "So earlier you mentioned about dragons being a symbol in your Squadron, what was that all about?" Twilight asked.
I sighed and vowed to never speak of this tale, but I felt as if they had to know. "My first year in combat was in October,26,1942, a few months after Guadalcanals airstrip was taken from the Japanese. I was a squadron leader in the air force, where I taught young pilots how to fly and fight and when you became an Ace, meaning you got 5 kills, you get your planes tail painted a gold color and people started giving me my nickname 'Golden'. My squadrons name were the Sky Dragons and I trained them onboard our aircraft carrier Enterprise and flew on our first mission to scout for the enemy carriers. There were only 8 of us, myself included
*Flashback to 1942 as I told the story*
We flew F6F Hellcats almost 15 miles from the carrier when one of my wing men spotted a what appears to be a lone cruiser. "Hey Golden, enemy cruiser 2 o clock low looks like easy pickings." I was firm on my orders and replied.
"Negative, Red 4, our orders are to scout and return to Enterprise." Then my squadron wanted to get this turkey shoot one pass. "Come on Golden." one squad mate said. "Yeah let`s do it." another called back. Finally giving in I replied. "Alright, but keep your distance. We dove in on the cruiser, but it turned out to be the whole enemy fleet. "Sweet Lord, its the whole enemy fleet!" A squad mate said in surprise. But with no time to pull out I had opened fired upon a ship but, every which way I looked, one by one my squadron was shot down until I managed to escape with my engine smoking from the heavy AA.
When I landed on the Enterprise, I looked in hopes that a squad member would return. But I was the only one who survived.
*Flashback ends*
"My whole squadron, under my command." I paused and saw everypony in tears to know my squadron died in almost a second. I then continued but I pulled out a photograph. "After that, I couldnt bring myself to fly again and joined the Navy, I swore to my fallen squad mates that I would avenge them by destroying every Japanese ship or plane that came into the ships cross hairs. And this picture, helped me remember who I was fighting for." I passed the picture around for everypony to see it. The photo contained my squadron before the disaster where I was standing in the second to the left with the other 7 pilots I trained in front of my Hellcat.
After getting my photograph back, I talked more about how the USS Morrison sank, My best friend Jerry, how the Allies won the war in Europe, and as much about human history as I can remember. The ponies taught me about their world of how Celestia and Luna raises the sun and moon, What cutie marks were and, what their currency is. Soon it came the time where the Princesses had to leave back to this city called 'Canterlot' while I needed some time to myself. "Excuse me, but I need to leave too." I said heading for the door.
"Where are you going, if you don`t mind answering?" Fluttershy said timidly. I understood they wanted to help me but I need to think things over myself. "I just need some time to myself." I replied as I left the library and began strolling through town.
While walking along the dirt road, I thought to myself asking "What could have done to not let myself get pulled from the main objective?" I can say that if I hadnt gone for that turkey shoot, I would still be flying with my Sky Dragon squadron. I was so lost in thought I didnt even see where I was going until I knocked into somepony. She was beautiful I must say and her beauty probably made my day.
(Torian`s POV) m so sorry maam I wasn`t looking to where I was going, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I`m fine but, what and who are you?" The unicorn asked with the questionable look on her face.
"Oh My name is Torian 'Golden' Scotterian and I`m human." I answered before asking. "But what is your name?"
"Im Minuette, but ponies call me Colgate since Im the dentist here in Ponyville." Minuette responds then she stares into my eyes. deep as if she got lost in them and I could see as clear as day that she blushed and looked like she was daydreaming.
After an awkward moment passed, I waved my hand in front of her to get her attention. "Hello Minuette... You there?... Earth to Minuette?..." Finally she snapped back into reality and blushed from embarrassment.
"Oh, sorry for staring into your big, beautif-er I mean brown eyes, but I gotta go and Ill see you around later OK? OK." and she ran off faster than my plane taking off from the Enterprises flight deck. I was a little confused at the moment but then decided to go back to the Library and see if there was something Twilight wanted to know about human history.
As I walked through town, I began to think to myself "Man, I wonder if that Inter-dimensional rift can be created by magic, If so, I can bring my F6F Hellcat fighter back to Equestria and show that Rainbow Dash who the top notch pilot is. " I quickly made my way to the Library and saw Twilight looking at something.
"Hey Twilight, can I ask you something?" I asked approaching the mare, but then she looked at me holding up the piece of shrapnel I removed this morning.
"I was going to ask you what this was that I found in my bathroom." Twilight said as I began to explain.
"That is a piece of a Japanese plane I shot down before I got here, we call it shrapnel after a plane explodes and it is dangerous because it goes faster than that Rainbow Dash."
"Wow, so do you think one day you can show us what a human transportation device is like those planes and ships you mentioned earlier?" Twilight asked.
"That`s actually why I came here to ask you, To make an inter-dimensional portal to my world so I can have a piece of my human culture here with me." I explained and Twilight looked as if she were about to theorize something.
"It could be possible, but it would take a lot of my energy and magic to even create such a thing, but I`m willing to give it a shot."
"But, lets take this outside." I suggested as she nodded in agreement.
Once we were outside, she charged up her horn and began her spell as sweat began to rush down her face and she was groaning at the mass amount of magic she was trying to produce. But in a flash of light, a portal opened and what I saw amazed me, the Hanger deck on the USS Enterprise.
"You did it Twilight!" I said in happiness as I jumped through the portal and inside the Enterprises hanger. I looked around and saw no planes lined up, meaning all the Enterprises aircraft had been launched and the sounds of gunfire above. Knowing that there was a battle going on and nobody around I decided a quick look wouldnt hurt before I began searching for my Hellcat.
I went towards an outdoor balcony on the port side and saw a massive battle with Japanese aircraft swarming the task-force and smoke billows from the Enterprise.
Seeing the island of Okinawa began to bring up memories of the time the USS Morrison sank, But I realized that I needed to get out quickly before a kamikaze strikes Enterprise. I began searching the Hanger-deck for my aircraft from stern to bow and It was there when I saw my Hellcat at the far end of the hanger, where the gold-painted tail gleamed in the sunlight of a porthole.
I hopped on my aircraft`s wing and looked for the fuel, oil, and ammunition. Considering to be safe than sorry, I strapped a supply netting to the back of the plane to carry 14 large containers of aircraft fuel and oil and over 10,000 belts of ammunition. I then hopped inside the plane and began to start the engine.
The Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp Radial Engine roared to life and the propeller began rotating and thanks to the sounds of battle outside, it drowned out the sounds the engine was creating. I began pushing the throttle forward slowly and pushed my flaps into take-off and the Hellcat slowly moved toward the portal. Suddenly, A massive explosion ruptures almost 20 ft behind me and flames began to engulf the flight deck. I knew I had to get out fast.
After the throttle hit 100% power, the plane began going faster and I pushed the stick down a little to get by back tire up and my nose lower, which generated more speed. Then going at more than 120 mph I lifted up from the hanger and flew right through the portal before Twilight`s magic gave out and the portal closed. I released the spare supplies for the aircraft before I began going higher, raised my flaps and landing gear and went to have some fun.
I then saw Rainbow Dash sleeping on a cloud and decided to toy with her. I aimed my guns above her to avoid hitting her and fired a few bursts of my 50 cal MGs. I saw her jump in fright and I pushed my right wing down so she can see who was piloting the aircraft. The mare was surprised to see me and as I passed her I gave her a salute before straightening out and climbed decided to show off a trick none of my squadron mates could do. The 'Inverted Vertical Reversement'.
I jammed the stick into my gut, hit full bottom rudder, threw the stick forward again and neutralized it. The moved worked all the time when a Japanese pilot was on my tail if he was outperforming me and this trick saved my life everytime. I then flew around as I enjoyed the memories I had with me and my squadron.
(Minuette`s POV)
I was leaving my dentistry after another brutal day at work for ponies who dont brush or floss their teeth and I grow sick of it, until one day a strange creature bumps into me. It got up and began to apologize. "Im so sorry maam I wasnt looking to where I was going, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I`m fine but, what and who are you?" I asked a little nervous about this creature
"Oh My name is Torian 'Golden' Scotterian and I`m human." It answered before asking. "But what is your name?"
"Oh my name is Minuette, but ponies call me Colgate since Im the dentist here in Ponyville." I said but then I got this weird feeling in my chest like I actually like this human and we just met. I then start staring into his big, beautiful, brown eyes and began thinking about him and me together. I felt my face heat up like Im developing a crush on this human, until I snapped back into reality with him waving his hands at me.
I got embarrassed and felt myself blush again and I panicked and said trying to act casual. "Oh, sorry for staring into your big, beautif er I mean brown eyes, but I gotta go and Ill see you around later OK? OK." and I ran as quick as I could until I couldnt see him. I then run into my 2 friends Derpy and Roseluck.
"Hey Minuette, whats the rush?" Roseluck asked.
"Oh hey girls, nothing much I was just around." I laughed nervously.
"Well, do you still want to join me and Rose for lunch?" Derpy asked with a smile.
"Sure." I said and we all left to the cafe for lunch.
Over lunch, I still couldnt get Torian out of my head no matter how hard I tried and when I thought of him, it would just make me blush as red as Roses mane. Then my friends began to catch on with what was happening with me.
"So Minuette, found something 'interesting' today?" Rose asked with a sly look.
"N-No, I haven`t it was j-just a normal day at work." I flustered a little, but this still made my friends even more curious.
"Well, your face says otherwise." Derpy said with a sly voice. I then felt my face heating up in a mad blush before I was caught.
"OK, I may have a teensy-weensy crush on somepony." I sighed in defeat. This made my friends squealed for me to go into detail about what they thought was a stallion.
"So who`s the lucky stallion?" Rose asks with a smile.
"Is he really cute?" Derpy added on.
"Oh he is really cute and can certainly wear a uniform, but..." I paused as my friends wondered what the problem was. "He`s a human." I slouched my head on the table knowing I would probably never have the guts to tell him.
"Dont worry Minuette, well help you win the heart of this human." Derpy said with enthusiasm
"You will?" I asked raising my head with hope.
"Of course we will, we are friends." Roseluck adds and this made me feel better, until we heard something coming from outside.
"Whats going on out there?" Derpy asks as we all went outside to see some blue object with a gold tail in the sky. I flew low and passed the cafe, but I did see that it was controlled by "Torian." I whispered before going into a lovesick sigh.
"Was that the human of your dreams?" Rose asked. I nodded while I looked on to see my crush flying through the sky.

Hopefully you enjoyed this and just to note, The Battle of Okinawa rages on and it was a kamikaze that caused an explosion aboard Enterprise.
Now the Inverted Vertical Reversment was a move developed by a P-51 pilot named Donald Bryan and it`s a move I used when I played War Thunder and it actually works so I thought about adding this move.
Other than that, it seems Minuette had her heart stolen to this new human, but when and how she will confess those feelings?
The Beginning of a New Life
(Torian`s POV)
Enjoying the memories I`ve had in my F6F, I noticed I was low on fuel and began searching for a place to land until I found an open field not too far from Ponyville. I began my normal landing procedures such lowering speed, flaps, and the landing gear itself before touching the ground with a soft bump and applied the brakes and used my tail to swing my plane around before coming to a complete halt. Turning off the engine and opening the cockpit, I climbed out and began celebrating for the first time before scoring my first 5 kills as an Ace.
"Whooooohoooo, Alright, I still got it!" I cheered out before doing a maintenance check on the engine.
But just as I opened the hatch to the engine, I saw all my new friends come toward me with the 2 Princesses behind them. I honestly wasn`t expecting this, but hey "Expect the Unexpected." was something the Captain of the USS Morrison said.
"Greetings Princesses, I wasn`t really expected to see you two." I said humbly.
"We heard a strange noise from Canterlot and came to see what it was." Celestia explained before Luna asked.
"Its something we have never heard before in our 1,000 years as Princesses."
"Oh well then I believe you must be talking about the engine of my F6F Hellcat I retrieved back on my world." I showed them the mighty Gold tailed warbird.
"Such machinery, That looks so advanced, how does this work?" Celestia asked in curiosity.
I smirked. "Allow me to demonstrate the power of human technology." I said before climbing inside the cockpit of the aircraft.
Sitting down, closing the canopy and strapping in I began my take-off procedures of raising the flaps and starting the engine. The engine roared to life as the propeller began spinning. I pushed the throttle forward at 100% and began rolling down the grassy field and picked up speeds of over 100 mph before the plane began lifting up from the ground. I then raised my landing gear and put the guns on safety before I began to perform what the F6F can do.
After a 30 minute flight, I landed the aircraft, shut off the engine and climbed out to see the ponies amazed with what the Hellcat was capable of. I felt proud showing them the sheer human technological minds of humans who designed this aircraft and in the future of what my species will create next. Then everypony trotted toward me and the aircraft.
"So is there any place where I can put this at, because I need a workstation for maintenance or tweaking for the aircraft?" I asked.
"We can create you a hanger for your aircraft." Celestia said as she and Luna illuminated their horns and the ground rumbled as a hanger and runway were created out of the small field and not far away a house was formed fit for a human. As they concluded with the spell, I was in utter amazement.
"Thank you, for what you`ve done for me." was all I could say before rounding up everypony and giving them a warm embrace of gratitude.
"You are most welcome." Luna replied as the plane was moved inside the hanger.
"Now we must return to Canterlot to conclude the day and bring forth the night, We will see you all soon." Celestia said as they teleported to Canterlot.
After the Princesses left, My friends also had to go take care of other things while I closed up my hanger and headed into my 2 story house with a full stocked kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, a living room with nice furniture and carpeting, and 2 spare rooms Ill use as a blueprint room and to continue my grandfathers sword training. Sadly, my sword was lost in the sinking in the Morrison and my Grandfather`s sword was back where I lived with my parents, so if I were to keep my training alive, I was going to have to find a new one.
After settling in and exploring the house, I looked outside to see Ponyville after hours where the peaceful night breeze blew through my face as I sighed in relief. This was something I never experienced during my 3 years of service when the Navy tried to hold off Japanese attacks upon Guadalcanal, The Philippines, Leyte Gulf, and Okinawa. I savored the moment that the beginning of my new life and I could tell it would get better than it had been in the past.
(Minuette`s POV)
After my friends found out I have a crush on the new human in Ponyville, they just wanted me to do all this crazy nonsense of trying to make me more attractive like make-up or styling my mane differently than I was used to. Roseluck and Derpy were supportive, but maybe they are looking at this the wrong way.
"OK Minuette, are you ready to tell him how you feel?" Rose asked like if she were a drill sergeant.
"I guess, I mean I feel like this isn`t the way to do this." I said shyly kicking my hoof in the ground.
"Come on Minuette, this is the best way to grab the humans attention, it definitely works on stallions." Derpy said with a smile, but I still wasnt sure.
"But he`s not a stallion is he? So maybe I should be direct and probably ask him on a date." I suggested.
"Please, Minuette give this a try and I can garuntee that he`ll fall head over hooves for you." Roseluck pleaded until I finally gave in.
"Fine." I gave in as Derpy and Roseluck squealed and pulled me into a hug. "This had better work, I really hope he likes it." I thought as night fell.
"Well, see you tomorrow Minuette." Roseluck said as she and Derpy left my house and I trotted up into my room and looked out the window to see a house that wasn`t there before, thinking that must be where Torian was living and I began thinking about him.
"The way he wears that uniform, so formal and polite, and those eyes." I thought as I began to fantasize him and me together as the moon rose into the sky and bringing forth the beautiful night.
Author's Note
Hey guys, Golden here and I just want to point out that I want to stop trying to explain every detail when Torian takes-off or lands his F6F, because it feels as if it gets boring and I simply wish to not bore you guys with this.
And today has been the 1st day of school and the point in time when I cant upload as often as I want so I hope everyone understands and doesnt get upset If I don`t upload every 3 days. I also want to apologize if this chapter was pretty crappy, I was stressed out and I hope I can make better ones in the future.
(Torian`s POV)
Waking up to another glorious day as Celestias sun brings out the light to a new day and thanks to Rarity with my new wardrobe, I slipped into something less military-like like Jeans and T-shirts. After doing all my morning hygiene, I headed downstairs for breakfast and ate some pancakes with a side of a biscuit and water. Then I decided to find a sword to continue my Grandfathers sword training, because I may never know when I`ll need it.
Walking into Ponyville, the townsfolk were quite polite and friendly and when I got to the blacksmith, I began looking at all the swords for sale.
"Good morning, I`m Heavy Metal, how can I help you?" The Brown stallion named Heavy Metal asked.
"I was wondering if I could get this sword?" I asked holding out the samurai-like sword. Heavy Metal was surprised.
"I see you have a keen eye, this is a pure obsidian blade, this indeed is a fine sword you have selected and for finding such a special and rare blade, its on the house." Heavy Metal offered with a smile.
Being the grateful human that I`am I smiled. "Thank you, Heavy Metal." I then picked out a sword sleath and walked back to my house. An hour had past and it was already noon since my shadow was almost directly below me as I walked through town.
Almost at my house, I see Minuette standing on the porch with one hoof up holding a basket and shaking as she felt hesitant to knock on the door. I stood almost 5 feet away from her and she began talking to herself.
"Oh, why did Rose and Derpy talk me into this, why couldnt I have written a note to him instead? Maybe if he isnt home I could try again maybe when I have the courage to tell him."
She turned around and bumped into my left leg and looked up to see me and I didnt know if she blushed in embarrassment or pleasure to see me, but I assumed that it must have been both. She was about to speak and probably stammer and based by the basket in her hoof, she was probably trying to ask me on a date. So I decided to act like I wasnt standing behind her for a while.
"Minuette, can I help you?" I asked with a smile.
"Um I-I was w-wondering i-if you wanted to go on a picnic w-with me, but you do seem rather busy so I`ll leave you to do whatever it is your doin-." I cut off Minuette before tried she leave so I can give her my answer.
"Minuette, Id like to go on a picnic with you." She couldnt help but beam but then I honestly liked her the way she looked when we first met. "But, I liked the way you looked before."
Her smile shrank before asking. "Wh-What`s wrong with the way I look?" She began searching for the problem before I stopped her and pulled a hankie out of my pocket before wiping away the make-up and undoing her mane. I then saw the true beauty of Minuette and smiled.
"I like you better when your you. Shall we?" I asked before she blushed deeply and nodded before we headed off to our picnic.
After reaching the spot under a shady tree near the Everfree, We first ate the delicious sandwiches made from lettuce, tomato, and a little fish. "Minuette, these are delicious." I complimented as she blushed again before replying.
"Thank you, I`m glad you like them." Then I grew curious to to why she likes me or loves me in that matter.
"I was wondering, why do you like me anyway, We only met yesterday and suddenly we are already out on a date. Im not saying were going too quick but it just seemed sudden."
Minuette sighed and replied. "I like you because your different from other stallions, Stallions would be jerks and some have the worst dental hygiene I`ve ever seen, but you, you are more nice, considerate, polite and well-hygienic. I actually wanted to tell you my feelings and I hope I can be with you for the rest of our lives. The way you flew that thing in the sky feels like you circling my heart and-." Minuette was cut off by me when I thought I heard something not too far away.
"Shh. We arent alone." I whispered as she began to get a little fearful. I looked over into the forest and saw 4 pairs of green eyes staring at us from the forest. Then 2 dashed out really quickly as I unsheathed my obsidian sword about to put my Grandfathers training to the ultimate test.
"RUN, MINUETTE, GET OUT OF HERE!" I screamed as I swung my sword at the first wood-like wolf and shed first blood by slicing his face and he tumbled to the ground.
Minuette managed to get to a safe distance to watch the 4v1 battle unfold. I was never taught or trained in 4 to 1 combat, but I stood in my battle stance and watched my enemies with anticipation as the other 2 from the forest joined up and all 4 wolves circled me like a pack of sharks to a life raft.
"I`m glad I bought this sword." I thought as I continued waiting for an opening.
Watching and observing, the first wolf pounced at me only for me to duck bring my blade up and sliced through his underbelly before exploding into splinters.
"Let`s dance you toothpick freaks." I said to intimidate them.
Quickly standing up, another wolf almost had me but sliced my back with what felt like a 3 inch scratch from the side. grunting in pain, I still held my ground with the blade up doing my best to ignore the pain and focus on the enemy.
Then another charged at me in front but his head was low enough for me jump over. I jumped above the wolf`s head and stabbed it directly in its brain and it immediately exploded as I was ambushed by another timberwolf and had by left side sliced by its giant claws. This was unbearable pain but the adrenaline within my veins kept me going.
With 2 left, I wasnt able to run at it, so I needed to play the waiting game for them to attack. Finally, the wolf behind me charged for the hopeful killing blow, but anticipating the attack I sent my blade behind me and the wolfs face impaled itself into the blade and self-destructed. The last one was alot bigger and most likely the alpha, Being the Alpha, he must have been smarter and waited to play his attack, but I kept my eyes on him.
"Show me what you got, you splinter-faced bitch." I said in intimidation.
Suddenly, The Alpha charged as I swung my blade to only cause a scar on his cheek and he kept attacking me and swiping his wooden claws at me and giving me some minor or major cuts as I swung at him and gave him some more scars upon his face until with one big swing, the Alpha fell, but got upm howled and retreated. Knowing that it wasn`t the end, I had to be on guard until the Alpha returns to claim vengeance.
Until then, the adrenaline in my bloodstream faded and felt the effects of blood loss as I began to black out from consciousness.
(Torian`s POV) 1 week after Timber wolf attack
I was enjoying a nice day of refurbishing my new obsidian sword for later training. My Great-Grandfather enjoyed sword fighting for sport and won matches as far back as High School. As I was about to go downstairs to the Hanger to check on my plane until I heard a knocking at the door.
"Huh, wonder who that could be?" I asked myself as I went to the door and opened it to reveal that it was Minuette.
"Hi Torian, I was um wondering how you were doing?" The blue unicorn asked as if she was being watched. I looked over her to see behind a bush was 2 other mares giggling silently.
"Let me guess, you want to go out on a date with me for lunch?" I said as she left her mouth open as if I read her like an open book.
"H-How did you?" She was cut off as I pointed at the bush where the 2 other mares were, They stopped giggling and ran off.
"So, would you?" she asked with her blue pleading eyes. The cuteness meter could measure of how adorable that was.
"Yes I would like to join you on a date." I replied with a smile and a kiss on her cheek which instantly made her blush. We both went into Ponyville to a cafe for lunch where we both ate and chat.
"So, Minuette, who were those mares anyway?" I asked as Minuette seemed to stutter a little.
"They are my friends, Derpy and Roseluck, they have been trying to get me to do things ever since I told them about my crush on you." She replied quite embarrassed.
"Well, I like you for you only, your friends need to remember your`re your own pony and you can handle yourself." I said which made her smile.
"Thanks, but you know this is my first relationship with somepony and I`m still quite nervous about this." Minuette said. I looked at her and gave her a passionate kiss across her muzzle before saying.
"I`m glad to share this love with you, Minuette."
After leaving the cafe, we left toward my house as I invited her inside and treat her like the house guest a gentleman would do.
"Would you like anything?" I asked her but she simply smiled and shook her head.
"I do have a question though, before you joined this war back on your world, what was your life like then?" I honestly never told anypony about my past before the war, but this was almost as sad as when I lost my entire squadron at Santa Cruz.
"Well, I was born in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1924. My Mother, Father, Sister and I worked on a farm we owned for a generation. Life was great out in the rural country where we get paid for the crops we grew and we could make about $150 a month. But all that changed in 1929, When Americas Stock Market crashed and billions worth of money was lost. It was even more devastating when The Dust Bowl arrived, A massive drought that killed our crops and we couldnt make money or food. Eventually my parents had to try and find work, but for another 6 years, life was hard and My sister died of starvation and my mother died from a heat stroke. My Father left before they died and went to California to get gold and lots of money for us, but a gold mine collapsed and he died in 1937. I was on my own for another 3 years until 1940 when I joined the U.S Air Force to somehow make a difference in my family. I still remember that farm and all the memories we shared, especially this photo of my family before the crash." I explained and showed the mare the picture.
"Thats a nice family you had there and Id bet theyd be proud for what youve done since then." Minuette comforted me in a tender embrace, which I happily returned.
Then as if my mind took over, we kissed once more, but this time her tongue was begging for entry into my mouth, which I granted and I couldn1t see it, but I bet she and I were blushing so heavily as we put our emotions into the kiss. Then I felt movement upon my upper right leg as if her crotch was rubbing up against my leg and soon felt warm and wet, meaning she was raring to go. This action even got me aroused as a tent began to form. Minuette broke the kiss, looked down and smiled.
"You enjoy this don`t you?" She asked in a seductive tone as I removed my shirt, which revealed my battle scars from the timberwolves. She then undid my pants and boxers as my erection sprang up from its confinements.
"Wow, yours looks so big and long, I like it." Minuette said knowing mine was about 9 inches, perfectly normal size for any human male and I gasped in pleasure as she began to take a lick and soon began putting it inside her mouth. She bobbed up and down as her tongue swirled around giving me more pleasure than I ever felt.
"Keep going, Minuette, your doing... great." I said as she went for a deep-throat and to my surprise, it went pretty deep inside her mouth. but to all good things must come to an end as I neared my limit and I was almost about to explode.
"Minuette, here it comes." I grunted as she pulled it out of her mouth right when I released my load across her face. I sighed in relief as Minuette tasted human sperm.
"It tastes kinda salty, but in a good way." Minuette said as she turned around to face her beautiful... er marehood at my still hard member. "I`ve given you pleasure, now I believe you must return the favor." Minuette added in a seductive tone. I nodded in agreement as I grasped her flanks and slowly slid my member in between her folds. I then felt this obstruction giving way as Minuette yelped in pain.
"Are you alright?" I asked. She nodded and replied.
"Its OK, This is just my first time, please continue it feels really good."
As I granted this mare`s wish of sliding my dick in and out while giving her pleasure. It felt really tight inside her like a sandwich but all the more reason why she and I enjoyed it so much. But soon she was beginning to reach her climax as well as my own so I asked.
"Minuette, I`m beginning to get close."
"We do it together, let us become one." Minuette said in pure lust, but the fear of pregnancy set in.
"But, what if I get you pregnant?"
"Im not... in heat so... its OK."
Pushing any further doubt I had, I sped up and we both felt the verge of climax upon us.
"MINUETTE!"
"TORIAN!"
We cried in unison as we both came and as we collapsed on the couch all tired out, Minuette whispered into my ear.
"I love you." I couldnt describe how happy Iam when I`m with Minuette so I replied.
"I love you too, Minuette." then we both fell into a passionate kiss on the couch.
Author's Note
Hey Guys, Golden here and I just wanted to say that Im no economical person here so I really dont entirely understand the whole stock market deal, All I know is that when the market crashed, People lost potentially billions of dollars, so if you could tell me a little more knowledge about the Market and why it crashed that would be awesome.
Secondly, the picture I used to describe Torians family is another family. I dont own this nor is it one of my ancestors pictures, I use this to give you a picture of what Torians family could have looked like.
Lastly, this was my first love scene in this story and I do wish to make better ones in the future, but like the story itself, I hope you enjoyed.
(Torian`s POV)
I awoke to the sounds of chirping birds in the morning sun as I also remembered that Minuette and I sealed the deal if you catch my drift. I walked into the kitchen to do something special for all my Ponyville friends for their hospitality and friendship by giving them a lovely picnic out near the airfield. So I got dressed and brushed my teeth before I went back over to the sleeping dentist and began to wake her up.
"Minuette, Minuette, Wake up." I said shaking her. The mare`s blue eyes fluttered open as they were set upon my own.
"Oh, hey Torian, what`s going on?" She asked as she yawned a little.
"I want to do something special for all of you as a token of my gratitude and appreciation." I told her which made her smile.
"Oh, what is it and who should I get?" Minuette asked further as she stood up.
"Its a secret, but I want you to get Twilight and her friends and meet me out in the field by the airstrip in an hour." I said with a smile.
"Oh, OK, Ill see you in an hour and I cant wait." She said while she trotted out the door and into Ponyville.
I began working on the picnic by filling it with fine apples, grapes, bananas, some bread and a bottle of the finest apple cider. Once grabbing the blanket I went out into the field I was about to set up the picnic when something caught my eye, a red claw-like object.
"What`s this, never saw that here before." I pondered as I approached the object. "Is it a claw from those timberwolves that attacked me a week ago?"
I reached down and picked it up to examine it when all of a sudden, it glowed and was sinking into my hands, and before I knew it, Darkness filled my sub-conscious.
(King Sombra`s POV)
Finally, I was freed from my magical anchor and have a body I can possess to reclaim what was rightfully mine, the only problem is is that this body wasnt a pony. Whatever it was, its going to have to do. I soon began getting better control of this creature and learned how to use my dark magic from the creatures hands. Then I heard trotting coming from behind me and one called out to the body I possessed.
"Hey, Torian, so is this what you were planning?" the blue unicorn called out, but I instantly recognized the purple unicorn with the baby dragon on her back, the ones who defeated me almost 3 months ago and I swore vengeance on them when I returned, which I shall receive.
"Torian, are you OK?" the purple unicorn asked with worry. So I responded to her with my evil laugh.
They gasped as I than used my dark magic to transform him into my-self, but in this creature`s body. I wore my armor, crown, and red cape as my eyes glowed green and the purple mist flew out the corners of my eyes.
"S-Sombra?, We thought you exploded by the empire`s light and love!" the purple unicorn stuttered in fear as I looked upon them.
"You fools." I hissed. " I used my magic to separate myself from my body before I exploded. I was in need of a new body to possess. Now I can reclaim what is mine." I then chuckled before the dragon stood up to me.
"We defeated you before, and we can do it again."
"How can you defeat me, I control your friends body here, so if you try to hurt me, hell feel the pain as well, Now feel my power." I said as my eyes glowed green and raised the right hand and dark magic formed from it. As the rainbow one flew straight towards me, A black crystal formed infront of me and her and the rainbow flew straight into it.
"Rainbow are you all right?" the pink one asked in worry.
"Yeah, but my head.." the rainbow one replied in slight disorder.
Then the purple fired a magic beam at me which I easily dodged and pushed my hand into the ground and from beneath the ponies, a large black crystal stalk grew and pushed them skyward before they all fell to the ground. This made me laugh as my dark magic subsided.
"You ponies are fools to try and defeat me, but as much as I want to stay, I have a throne to reclaim, hahahaha." I laughed as I shaped into my shadow form and slithered off to the Crystal Empire.
(3rd POV)
After King Sombra slithered off Twilight knew that her brother, Shining Armor and Sister in law, Princess Cadence were in danger since they rule over the empire, the only thing she can think of was a letter to Celestia.
"Spike, quickly take a letter." Twilight ordered as Spike got the scroll at the ready.
"Dear Princess Celestia, Im sorry to inform you that King Sombra has returned. He has taken possession of Torians body and is off to the Empire, please warn my brother and sister in law about this and have the protection force field up so it will allow us to use the Elements of Harmony against him. I hope our friend is OK. Your faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle."
After the letter was written, Spike rolled it up and spat fire upon it to send it to Celestia.
"So what now?" Applejack asked unsure of what to do.
"I`ll get the Elements of Harmony, while the rest of you head to the train station to go to the Crystal Empire." Twilight said as she began to go to her Library to get the Elements. The rest of the group, except Minuette was about to head off to the station when Fluttershy saw Minuette sitting down looking depressed.
"Um, Minuette, aren`t you coming?" Fluttershy asked timidly.
"No, I`ve already lost my stali-er boyfriend to an evil shadow king and there is nothing I can do." she then began to cry as she put her forehooves to her eyes.
"I believe I remember a certain human risked his life for yours from that timberwolf attack, I believe this could be your chance to do the same for him." Fluttershy said becoming inspirational as Minuette looked up. "He didnt run from a fight because he was scared, he did it to protect you even if he was and now its your chance to protect him and show him that you really care for him."
Minuette stood up, inspired to do anything for the human she loved and Fluttershy and her trotted off to the train station.

(King Sombra`s POV)
I reached the Crystal Empire at night so I can use the darkness as my cover, but as I was about to enter, the love shield was once again being formed to keep me out. Not wanting to hesitate like last time, I rushed toward the Empire and I managed to jump in before the shield was too high. Now inside the Empire, I started plotted out a 3-part plan:
Steal the Crystal Heart.
Lock away the Prince and Princess that rule over.
Get the ponies I fought earlier to do my bidding.
With my plan in place, it was time to execute it. I saw the Crystal Heart in its place with 3 guards standing around it. being as slick as I am, I grabbed a rock and tossed it over to a nearby alleyway and used my magic to manipulate shadows to form a ponys and make it seem as if the pony was running away. The plan worked as the guards shouted.
"Stop in the name of the Prince and Princess!" and all of them ran off into the alley. With the Crystal Heart now unprotected, I swiped it into my possession and began part 2. I went inside the castle and used my dark magic to locate the rulers, Once I found them I slowly opened the door and saw them asleep. I slipped into the room and casted anti-magic and anti-flight spells upon them before they woke up with the princess screaming.
"Hey, what are you doing here, S-Sombra?" the prince said sternly before going into confusion.
"Yes, I have returned and now you must pay for what you`ve done." I said with a evil glare as I charged my horn and teleported them into the Crystal Dungeons.
After teleporting the Prince and Princess, Guards rushed in because of the Princess`s screams.
"Stop in the name of the." The guard shouted before I used my dark magic to mind control them.
"You will obey me and do as I command." I said as my new guards saluted in understanding.
"What shall our orders be, my king?" The guard asked.
"Place the Empire in total lock down and make sure nopony enters or leaves without a search to try and overthrow me." I ordered as the guard saluted and ran off to tell the others of their new orders.
With everything in place, I went onto the balcony and changed the Crystal Empire into my kingdom I knew and I knew that I had finally won and reclaimed what was rightfully mine.
(3rd POV)
On board a train heading to the Crystal Empire as the morning began, Everypony was asleep, except for one, Minuette, who was staring into the night and remembering all the fun times she and Torian had. She let out a sad sigh before somepony walked in, Twilight and sat next to her.
"Hey Minuette, you doing alright?" Twilight asked with concern for her friend.
"Oh yeah, everythings great, its just that I can`t seem to sleep." Minuette trailed off still a bit sad.
"Minuette, you know we are friends, why dont you just tell me whats wrong?" Twilight asked to help her friend.
"Twilight, I miss Torian and I just cant stop thinking about him knowing hes under Sombra`s control, and I really want to be with him for the rest of my life." Minuette said with panic in her voice before sobbing a little.
"Dont worry, well get our friend back and defeat King Sombra." Twilight comforted her friend.
"Thanks Twilight, that means alot." she sniffed and smiled a little.
"Next stop Crystal Empire!" The conductor called out as They all looked outside to see the Crystal Empire under Sombra`s rule. Minuette began to fear the worst.
"It`s too late." She said about to cry again.
"No it`s not, we still have the Elements of Harmony to defeat him with." Twilight said confidently.
The train pulls into the station and the ponies began to disembark and save their friend. As they approached the Empire, they saw the Crystal Ponies in chains looking sad.
"Oh...my... those poor ponies." Fluttershy said with sadness.
"Lets kick Sombra`s flank." Rainbow said raring to go.
"Now hold on there, we need a plan to pass those guards." Applejack said looking at Twilight, knowing she`ll have a plan.
"OK, Ill try and teleport us all to the doors of the throne room, so we wont run into any guards." Twilight said as the group agreed to the plan.
Minuette looked at the castle where her boyfriend was in trouble and thought to herself.
"I will save you Torian, I won`t let you down."
With the plan in place, it was time for King Sombra`s reign to end. Twilight charged up her horn using as much energy and magic she can muster and teleported everypony to the doors that lead inside the throne room.
"Alright ponies, lets do this." Rainbow said as Twilight was catching her breath from the amount of magic and energy she used. Rainbow busted through the door and as if they were hallucinating, they saw King Sombra holding the Crystal Heart in one hand sitting upon his throne.
"Well Well Well, It seems as if I was right to know you would try to overthrow me and reclaim your friend." Sombra said getting off the throne.
"My brother and Sister-in-law are in the Dungeons!" Twilight shouted in fear and tried to find a way to stop Sombra but she couldn`t think of anything and was about to surrender when all of a sudden, A window shattered and to reveal Princesses Celestia and Luna, wearing armor and wielding spears as if they were ready for a battle. The ponies cheered to see their rulers help them stand up against Sombra.
But in the moment, Sombra threw the Crystal Heart to the ground causing it to shatter into 5 pieces. The ponies gasp knowing that the Crystal Hear is what spreads light and love across all of Equestria.

(3rd POV)
With the Crystal Heart in pieces, all the ponies except Sombra gasped in horror, then turned their hatred on him and the Princesses combined their magic and shot an energy beam at the Shadow King. As if Sombra was hit the Princesses thought they might have wounded him. Then Luna spoke.
"That was easy."
"Too easy." Celestia says with suspicion and she was right.
Sombra propelled himself on a giant black crystal stalk at Luna and gave Celestia and evil glare. He then swings his scythe at Luna, but was blocked long enough for Celestia to use her magic to destroy the large stalk. But as smart ans he is evil, Sombra jumped before the stalk exploded blocked Celestias spear attack. Using gravity, he dive-bombed into Luna sent them to the floor where there blades clashed. With Celestia on one side and Luna on another, they charged at Sombra at fast speeds. Sombra then used his dark magic to conjure up 2 crystal stalks at the Princesses and pushed them into the walls. Then Twilight powered up the Elements and a giant rainbow cannon streaked toward Sombra as he used his scythe to shield against the powerful beam. And for the first time, The Elements failed as Sombra still held strong, but he didnt know Celestia and Luna escaped during the attack.
Celestia and Luna charged with an attack, But Sombra evaded and caused the alicorns to overshoot and miss. Luna quickly moved in and swung her sword at Sombra, who was blocking her attacks. Sombra the used his dark magic to make a black crystal form and moved quickly at Luna. The Princess of the night sliced her sword through it and charged at Sombra once more. Celestia flew up and shot straight towards him at a fast speed. Sombra jumped up and to meet Celestia and swung his sword at her, which was blocked by the sun Princess and forced back to the ground.
Once Sombra landed, he looked for Luna, who was behind him and stabbed a sword in his back. The ponies gasped, especially Minuette who thought that hurt Torian and gave him a severely painful injury.
"It`s over Sombra, YIELD!" Luna ordered.
Sombra laughed and as Luna pulled her sword out.
"Soo much hatred, I can taste your wrath's and they are delicious." Sombra laughed again as he used his magic to heal himself.
"Silence." Celestia and Luna shouted together and charged at the king.
Sombra engulfed in his shadow form and charged at Princesses, Then as the Princesses leaped through his shadow, Their eyes went green and their pupils became red as purple mist seeped from their eyes which meant, Sombra casted a spell on them to show their worst nightmares.
The ponies were horrified and then Minuette said. "Light them up girls."
Sombra then changed back into Torian`s physical form and was about to slay the Princesses until a bright light shone behind him. Quickly turning around and saw that they were using the Elements of Harmony, Then terror was shone on his face.
"No... no... no.. Stop!" Sombra shouted, but it was too late.
A giant rainbow shot at Sombra and the Elements began to take effect.
"Noooooooooo!" Sombra screamed. Then a shadow began to leave Torians body and separated from him. Then the environment changed as the castle was back to its former self, The crystal ponies were freed, the sun shined once more.
Torian was back into his regular attire before Sombra took control of him, but was unconscious, as Sombra, who was battered created a portal. he turned around and spoke.
"You ponies haven`t seen the last of me, I shall return." With that Sombra went through the portal, which soon disappears as Twilight went to the Crystal Dungeons to free her family members, Minuette with Torian and the others with the Princesses.
(Torian`s POV)
I slowly wake up to see a beautiful angelic face come into my almost adjust vision and that face was Minuette who seemed to look sad and worried and she soon squealed with joy as I brushed my hand through her mane.
"Your back Your back Your back, I missed you so much and I was so scared that you were hurt!" Minuette squealed as she hugged me tightly.
"Um, where have I been, and what is this place?" I asked confused. This gave Minuette a puzzling face.
"You mean you don`t remember anything?"
"All I remember was picking up a red claw and then I blacked out." I explained but it seems Minuette didn`t want to go through this so I just went along with it.
Then I saw Twilight with a pink alicorn and a white unicorn stallion and they looked as if they were pushed into a coal mine. But then the white stallion gave me angry eyes that said "I`m going to kill you." and his horn charged up with magic. I readied myself for an impact which never came, I see Twilight trying to calm him down.
Then the three walked up to me and spoke.
"I`m Princess Cadence and this is my husband, Shining Armor." the pink alicorn introduced which I shook her hoof she held out.
"Torian Scotterian, pleasure." I replied as I looked at the stallion. "I`m sorry for everything I caused, but whatever happened to me is gone and hopefully we can become friends." I said with sincere as I held my hand out toward Shining Armor. He hesitated for a moment before shaking my hand.
"Sorry for how I acted, I just thought you were still possessed." Shining said apologetically.
"It`s alright." I said.
Then Celestia and Luna came up to me.
"Are you alright?" Celestia asked.
"I`m fine but, what happened to me?" I asked as everypony looked uneasy.
"King Sombra, a unicorn as black as night took over this Empire a thousand years ago. He was defeated by me and my sister but he returned and claimed your body to his possession to try and take back the Empire." Luna explained as I found it to be quite hard to believe.
"I know you have all been through alot and I would like to tell you more, but I recommend you all head back home and take it easy for a while." Celestia said with a warm smile and for the day Ive had, Ill need more than a break.
"As you wish Princess." I said as we all left the throne room and toward the train station.
Outside the castle, we were met by a crowd of crystallized ponies cheering as if the war had ended. When we had pushed through the crowd I then saw Minuette looking a little blue (No pun intended). I then asked.
"You alright Minuette?"
"I...I...um." I saw she was having trouble with her words so I knelled down and gave her a quick peck on her cheek before saying.
"Thank you for rescuing me." I saw her blush madly as we both and the Mane 6 head home to Ponyville.

Hey Guys, Golden here and I just want to say that if it felt rushed, Im absolutely sorry, Ive had alot on my mind and I don`t believe I was thinking clearly.
Secondly, I`m holding a poll in my next blog to see what you want to see next and there are 2 options to choose from.
(Torian`s POV, 1 week after Sombra incident)
I was at home in my hanger where my F6F was stored for maintenance and tinkering if I got bored. I was inside the cockpit cleaning the instruments to keep the plane in top shape for when I want to fly it again, then I hear a knocking at the hanger doors.
"Who could that be?" I asked myself as I opened the heavy doors to reveal that it was the lovely Minuette. "Oh hey, Minuette." I said with a smile as I invited her inside.
"Hey, Torian I was kinda wondering about something and it`s rather silly." Minuette replied as she walked inside the hanger with an embarrassing blush on her face. I found this adorable but was puzzled with what she wanted to ask me.
"So what do you need?" I asked sitting in a wooden chair. Minuette still looked uneasy but took a deep breathe and began.
"I wanted to ask you if... you wanted to... go out on a date with me?"
I honestly saw this coming since were dating and all, but I still didnt understand why she was still shy to ask me certain things, I can only theorize that this must be her first relationship, But how could I turn down such a beautiful mare.
"OK, sure, what have you got planned?" I asked. But she gave me an uneasy look and replied.
"Oh, um I was hoping you would decide on this one." Minuette said a little embarrassed and I was completely off guard that I was choosing what to do for our date. Then Minuette spoke up again. "Here`s a suggestion that might be fun, what about a flight in your machine?"
"You want a ride aboard my F6F?" I asked. Minuette nodded in response with a hopeful look on her face.
My Hellcat wasnt designed to carry 2 people in the cockpit and if I let Minuette inside, it will block my view of the instruments and outside the plane. But what she didnt know was that I had a solution and will be the perfect opportunity to test out something I`ve been working on.
"Minuette, Ill take you for a ride but not in the F6F, but in a different aircraft I designed to fly 2 occupants." I said as I guided her over to a tarp. "Id like to introduce you to... the Curtiss Jenny."
I pulled the tarp to reveal a biplane I`ve been working on using unused wood, cart wheels nopony wanted, and the engine with the help of Twilight so it runs on magic. Minuette did look at it as if it were impressive, but then had a question.
"Where did you find time to make this?"
"I usually spend about 5 hours a day on it, considering it also takes a while to find the parts." I replied smiling. "Ready to go?"
Minuette seemed hesitant at first but then climbed into the 2nd seat as I had to start the engine by spinning the propeller. Grabbing a blade, I pulled it down as hard as I could and stepped back as the propeller spun and the engine made a loud pop before starting up. I climbed into the cockpit and began to ease on the stick and the plane slowly moved outside the hanger.
"Minuette, you may want to strap in." I forewarned as Minuette strapped in the safety harness to prevent us from falling out. Now outside the Hanger I turned left to face the long run way we had and began pushing the stick forward as the plane began to pick up speed. Soon almost half way down the run way, the plane began bouncing a little as it hit and lifted from the ground. With a speed of almost 120 mph, I pulled back the stick to pull the nose up and we began to gain altitude marking the success of the first take off of my custom built biplane.
As we neared 1,000 ft in altitude, I looked back to see Minuette fascinated by how high we could go and what she could see from here. Then I decided to impress her with some simple tricks like barrel rolling and looping and I even showed her what to do in a stall. When I was low on speed at an altitude of over 3,000 ft, I used my tail flaps to push the aircraft`s nose down where I opened the throttle to regain speed and pull out in less than a 1,000 ft of lost altitude.
Soon we spotted Rainbow Dash sleeping on a cloud and looked back at Minuette, signalling her to look down on her left. I showed her my evil, yet playful look on my face and I flipped the aircraft upside down and began a dive to only pull positive Gs to avoid ripping the aircraft apart. We sped up and dove past Rainbow as I was only able to catch a glimpse of her being frightened from the rude awakening. As I pulled out from the dive, The sun was beginning to set over the horizon and I wasn`t trained to fly at night so I set a course for home.
After landing the aircraft on the airstrip and parking it at the end of the run way, I got out and helped Minuette out as well.
"That... was... amazing, I understand why you love to fly." was all that Minuette said before I gave her a romantic-filled kiss and embraced her. Then broke the kiss so I could respond.
"And this is why I love you."
Once more, our lips joined again as we made out under the rising moon and the beginning of the night. After what felt like an enternity, we broke our kiss and I could tell that me and the beautiful dentist were blushing madly as I decided to give her something that meant alot to me and my lost squadron.
"Here, I want you to have this." I said as I put it in her hoof, which was my Squadron Lockette. "Open it up."
Minuette opened the lockette and gasped as she saw a picture of me on one side and her on another.
"I love it!" Minuette then pulled me into a tight embrace before continuing. "Thanks so much." I happily returned the happiness I brought upon her and held like this for what felt like decades under the starry night.
Author's Note
Hey guys, Golden here and I just want to point out as always that some of the images I use I don`t own nor are they any of my relatives.
Secondly, I won`t be able to do the Changeling invasion chapter until after the next one is released, I want to get something out the way first before we jump into some more action.
Lastly, I want to let everyone know that there won`t be as much of the Mane 6 but they will be in separate chapters in the future ahead.
(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.

(Torian`s POV, 3 days after Changeling Invasion)
As the sun rises over the horizon and light shines through the window, I wake upon a strange feeling on my back. Reached over to try and massage it but instead I felt something feathery like wings on my left and something leathery on my right. Then I walked into the bathroom where a mirror was and looked to see myself with a pair of mismatched wings: A bat`s right wing, and a left pegasi wing. I flapped them a few times as over millions of thoughts flooded my head of how cool or bad this was.
I honestly thought this was the coolest thing ever not to mention this will give me the chance to experience flight on a whole new level without any instruments, controls, or cockpits preventing me to feel the wind in my face.
"I`ve got to show the others, maybe they can figure out why I suddenly got wings ." I thought to myself as I went to prepare myself to meet my friends and marefriend.
I tucked my wings inside of my shirt to hide them as I searched Ponyville for my friends, It must have felt like hours before I found them at a cafe.
"Hey, everypony." I greeted as I got some warm smiles in return.
"Hey, how have you been?" Twilight asked wiping a napkin across her muzzle.
"Nothing much, fixing up my biplane, met a nice Zebra in the Everfree and I now have wings." I explained as everypony looked confused.
"Since when did you have wings, and if so how come we haven`t seen them before?" Rainbow asked.
"I have no idea Rainbow, all I know is that when I went to see Zecora, they weren`t there, the next morning they appeared." I replied as I exposed my mismatched wings and everypony gasped in either amazement or fright.
"You wouldn`t happen to have seen any blue flowers along your way back did you?" Rarity asked with a nervous smile.
"I did, why?" I asked unsure of what could be the problem.
"That was Poison Joke, a plant that can play a trick on you if it is touched." Applejack explained as I really fell down a hole there, the many plants that have magical powers and they use it on me to have some sort of laugh, but it wont matter, I love these wings and I cant wait to learn how to use them.
"But, dont you worry, there is a cure for this and youll be back to normal in no time." Minuette hugged me as I hugged her back then gave everypony my final decision.
"I actually want to keep these." and once more there was a gasp as I explained. "All my time in the Air Force, I`ve wondered and dreamed about how nice and peaceful it were to be, if I had wings I can use to let the wind blow in my face and not have some machine do it for me, This was actually a dream come true for me."
The ponies nodded in understanding and Rainbow hovered toward me. "Hey, since you have wings, I can teach you how to use them after we are done."
"Thank you Rainbow, I`d appreciate that." I replied as we all got together and chatted some more about the time I met Zecora or how close am I to repairing my damaged biplane.
Soon it was time to start my flight training with my new wings with my flight instructor, Rainbow Dash while the rest watched for moral support. We started on a hill where she began teaching me the basics. To me it felt like I was a recruit again before I lived up to my nickname where all the recruits were in line anxious to shoot down some enemy Japanese aircraft.
"OK now Im not going to rest until I see you flying in the air." Rainbow said mimicking a Drill Sargent from the Army. "Now lets see what youve got."
I began flexing my wings to make them nimble and as I flapped to try and lift from the ground, I was able to hover for a few seconds about 10 meters from the ground before my wings gave out.
"Alright, so it seems all we need to do is practice until you can stay airborne longer, lets get started." And with the sound of her whistle, we began the training. I had to do wing-ups, lifting weights with only my wings, and even trying to glide from a 6 story cliff. I did have a little difficulty trying to maintain in the air for more than about a few seconds, but after receiving the support from my friends and believing in myself more, I was able to stay airborne for about a few minutes, which marks a major improvement. After what seemed like 4 hours of hard work, sweat, and sore wings, I was finally able to stay aloft for hours and we did a celebration like we had when we finished basic training in the Air Force.
"Torian, you showed determination, hard work and overall improvement when I first saw you and I personally say that you have achieved and exceed my expectations, so as your instructor, I hereby decree you as a professional flier, congratulations soldier." Rainbow said as we exchanged salutes and ponies cheered at a grand success.
"Thank you, Rainbow, but I could have never done it without you and the rest of our friends." I said as we all embraced in a group hug. Soon I decided to take a flight and experience this for myself now that I can stay in the air longer and looked over the great sunset over the Equestrian horizon.

Hey ponies and bronies, Golden here (like my new intro?) Im soo sorry this was a bit latter than expected I was on a tremendous writers block and school, Im so glad I am able to get this out and hopefully you enjoyed it.
Secondly, dont hate on the wings because Discords wing designs were pretty cool and I imagined what a human would look like if he had wings like that so I slapped them on there when Torian went to Zecora`s for the first time.
As always, like, favorite, and follow and I`ll see you all next time.
A Day That Will Live in Infamy
(December, 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii, Torian`s POV)
As Japanese aircraft swarmed in and the attack underway, We needed to get out of the open before a Zero comes in and strafes the ground but I couldn`t help but watch as a torpedo strikes the Oklahoma. Then a bomb explosion erupts upon the West Virginia and fires were set ablaze on her deck.
"Are those the Japanese aircraft, you`ve been shooting down?" Twilight asks as we began running for cover.
"Yes, and these are A6M Zero fighters, B5N Kate torpedo-bombers and D3A Val dive-bombers." I said as more hangers explode and more planes get destroyed. Then I decided I was going to do something I should have done during the attack.
"Twilight, you must retrieve my Sitar from my quarters and return it to Equestria." Twilight gasps and was about to protest as I cut her off. "Twilight we dont have time to argue, for all we know it could have been destroyed, Now its not far just head past the last 2 hangers and it should be on your left, Once inside just go down the hallway and the room should say 'B235' and it should be in the closet." I explained to her.
Twilight nodded before she asked. "Where are you going?"
"To do something, I should have done today, now go." was all I said as I ran to a jeep parked nearby as I started the engine and drove off. Twilight knew where to go and decided to do it and hope I wouldn`t get myself killed.
(Twilight`s POV)
As Torian left, I decided to go and retrieve his Sitar so I made my way over to his quarters. While running I heard the sounds of the Japanese planes roar overhead and dropping explosives on the ships docked nearby and one of them he called the 'Oklahoma' took so many water explosive hits and began rolling over on its left side.
But nothing seemed worse as the time I had reached the last hanger, A massive explosion onboard the 'Arezona' ignites and seemed as if it were about to break in 2.
"Dear sweet Celestia!" I whispered in horror as the ship burned. I knew that I would estimate hundreds were probably killed in the ship, Then Suddenly, the hanger behind me explodes and I ran inside the Quarters Bunker. I peeked out to see the hanger in twisted burning metal and a few humans on fire, screaming in pain. With a job to complete, I began looking for Torians room 'B235'.
"Wonder how things are holding up for him?" I thought to myself to hope that he was alright.
(Torian`s POV)
Driving out of Pearl Harbor, I began to drive to an airstrip that I know that wasn`t attacked, Ewa airfield. It was a 30 minute drive there and based on the accounts of eyewitnesses after the attack, it was one of the few that never got hit.
Once there, I parked the jeep and began searching for an aircraft that was combat-ready. In a hanger was a P-40 Kittyhawk fighter and I checked for fuel and ammunition and to my luck, there was enough fuel for about 1 hour and about 1500 rounds of 50 caliber ammunition.
I started up the engine and taxied the plane out of the hanger and onto the runway.
"Alright Golden, time to make history." I said to myself as I pressed the throttle and the planes began to pick up speed as she began to gain altitude.
As I was at 3000 ft I saw the smoke bellowing from the harbor. Looking down, I saw multiple ships on fire, sunk, or undamaged. I even saw the USS Nevada beached almost blocking the channel which could have had a serious effect in the future, The Oklahoma capsized, and the Arizona almost blown into oblivion. Now it was time for revenge as I set myself on a Japanese aircraft and fired a quick burst before he trailed smoke from his left wing and spiraled into the harbor.
"That`s for the Arizona you sushi-eating bastards!"
I had to keep moving so I wouldn`t end up as a target so I lined up and shot a Kate out of the sky, but he slammed into another Kate which was really cool as I was joined up by 2 other P-40 pilots Welch and Taylor and began fighting off the attacking Japanese fighters.
(Twilight`s POV)
As the sirens wailed from outside, I had found Torians room and found his sitar in the closet like he said, now all I had to do was get it back to Equestria, but as I looked at the clock on a wall, it was 8:20 am meaning the portal will close in 10 minutes and without my horn and magic, I wont be able to get us back.
"I hope Torian can keep track of time?" I hoped and ran out of the building right before another explosion erupts from the building, I felt extraordinarily lucky that I got out in time.
As I ran back to the portal, I tossed the Sitar through it and ran for cover as I saw 3 planes in a formation taking down the Japanese and as one flew in low, I was able to catch a glimpse of Torian inside one as he shot another plane which exploded in air. But then a Zero fighter got in behind him and was shooting at him until his plane caught fire from his right wing.
"Oh no!" I gasped as the Zero peeled off only to get killed by one of Torian`s allies.
I saw him once again but this time he was going slower touched the ground with a hard bump as the propeller bent back and the plane skidded across the runway and grinded to a halt. as the fire began to spread all I could do was watch until the canopy opened and the wounded warrior jumped out.
(Torian`s POV)
When I got shot down by that Zero, my right wing burst into flames and I was beginning to lose control. I also noticed that fuel was leaking inside the cockpit so I came down on Ford Island`s runway in a crash landing. I hit the ground and skidded for almost 100 ft before finally stopping, before hopping out of the aircraft. Just as I did, I quickly got up and ran over to Twilight just as the P-40 that got 6 enemy planes exploded into a fireball.
"Torian, Are you OK?" Twilight asked as she hugged me.
"Yeah, what about the sitar?" I asked.
"I put it through the portal, I was lucky enough to escape with it before your Quarters building exploded."
"OK, good." I said as I looked at the time and saw that it was 8:25 and the Japanese began to pull back, but this was only the first wave and with the second coming in, we had to get out fast. "Come on Twilight, lets go before the Japanese second attack wave comes."
We both leaped through the portal and I left a mark in American history, where I flew with the 2 American pilot heroes of Pearl Harbor as an Anonymous pilot and with 6 more kills, I could add that to my kill status on my F6F. But it was the most dastardly surprise attack in history and we lost 8 battleships, 3 cruisers, 3 destroyers, and over 2,403 American sailors and/or airmen killed.

Finally returning to the world I call home, I looked at Twilight, who was once again a unicorn and saw the portal to my world close. My sitar was lying on the floor picked it up to see the inscription my dad wrote before he left. "To my brave little sailor, I know youll do great things and as a father, Ill always love you."
I gave Twilight a 'Thank you' look and gave her a tender embrace. "So what does that sound like, then we can talk about what happened at your world." Twilight asked as we broke the hug.
"I`d be glad to show you." I replied as I got into my playing position and played a little tune.
As I finished, Twilight was surprised by the way the instrument sounded and couldn`t help but look at the beautiful craftsmanship of a marvelous instrument.
"It sounds so amazing, no wonder you went back for it to get a job, I guarantee you`ll get that job." Twilight said happily.
"Thanks, and speaking of a job, thats where Ill be heading, Thank you Twilight for your help." I said as I left with my sitar and Twilight waved good-bye.
(December, 8, 1941)
"Yesterday, December,7th, 1941, -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific.
Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.
It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.
Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya.
Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong, Guam, Philippine Islands, Wake Island, and this morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island.
Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.
As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.
No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory, and our interests are in grave danger.
With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph -- so help us God.
I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire ."

Hey ponies and bronies, Golden here and I merely wish not to offend any Japanese readers with what Torian said, If I did offend you, then I`m terribly sorry.
Secondly, I wish to inform you that this is a make-up chapter for the time I had a massive writers block I had for about 6 days so enjoy it.
As always like, favorite, comment, and follow me if you enjoy the story and I`ll see you all next time.
(Torian`s POV)
After reliving a major mark in history and fighting along side with 2 Pearl Harbor heroes, I went back to Vinyls shop to apply for her opening position to get some money and more food on the table. With a piece of my father with me I felt more at peace than I did before America dove into war, before my fathers death, and before the depression.
I arrived into Vinyls shop with Vinyl cleaning her equipment and smiled. "Hey man, Id knew you`d be back."
"I did and I want to apply for your job now that I have this," I pulled out the glorious Indian instrument and Vinyl seemed impressed.
"Cool, can you play me a tune?"
"With pleasure." I replied as I got into my playing position and began to show Vinyl what music is back in India.
After I finished, I saw Vinyl with a big smile on her face. "You are most certainly hired, the first concert is tomorrow night so don`t be late."
"Thanks so much Vinyl." I said as I walked out the door and back to my house. As I walked down the streets of Ponyville, I spread out my mismatched wings and hovered a few feet above the ground and flew to my house and landed not far from the porch before I saw somepony at my door and that somepony was my marefriend, Minuette.
"Hey Minuette." I called out which made her yelp in surprise and quickly turned around.
"Oh hey, Torian." Minuette said a little shakily from her little jumpscare.
"So what can I do you for?"
"Oh, well it`s been a stressful day at the dentistry and so many of my patients had the worst cases of cavities or gingivitis and I... I need to spend some time with you and take my mind off things." Minuette explained as I left her a reassuring smile.
"Come on Minuette, I think I can help with your stress." We headed toward a hill with a shady tree and sat under it as I pulled out my sitar and Minuette looked at it in confusion.
"What is that?"
"This is my fathers instrument from a place called India known as a sitar. My father would play this whenever we felt stressed and made our lives easier, so Id like to share it with you, but first relax your body, close your eyes, and let the music from this instrument do the rest." I said as I got into playing position.
Minuette lied down next to me on her stomach and closed her eyes as I began playing some meditation music to sooth away all the stress and negativity away.
After a while, Minuette sounded more relaxed and during this time I was able to get my mind off a few things, I was then snapped away from my thoughts when Minuette spoke.
"Hey, thanks for helping me relax, this was exactly what I needed." I smiled and couldn`t help but kiss the beautiful mare. The kiss lasted for a few minutes and we poured all of our emotions into it, but I would have never expected it to really flip the switch in a more romantic way.
It was getting late and we headed into my house and along the way, I told her that she could stay at my place for the night and she couldn`t help but smile as I wrapped my bat wing around her for a nice wing embrace.
After entering the house, I set the Sitar down near the door and headed upstairs as Minuette followed me but to take a look since she hasn`t been seen what upstairs looked like just consisting of the spare guest bedroom, bathroom, sword room and my room.
"So Minuette there is a spare bedroom for you to sleep in and if you need anything, don`t hesitate to ask." I said.
"OK, are you turning in early?"
"Yeah, I`m quite tired after a whole revisiting the past type of adventure." I replied and rubbed my tired eyes.
"I`d like to hear about this adventure, you always have had quite a taste in adventure." I merely blushed at this knowing that it was true.
"OK, well thanks and good night." I said as I headed to my room.
"Good night." Minuette replied back.
After I was in my room sorting out some things and reorganizing some of my future cruise liner blueprints, I got out of my Naval uniform until I was in my boxers and headed off to bed and let my dreams come out to enchant or torture me.
It wasnt after what felt like three hours did I feel something warm and furry on my back which felt rather nice, but I turned over slowly to see that it was my blue unicorn marefriend. At this point Id get a little frightened to not expect this, but because of the nice embrace she was giving, I was fine with it. Then my perverted mind came to play as I guided my hand toward her marehood and began rubbing it with my middle finger. I got a response of soft moaning from the dentist and I saw a blush creep on her face.
I rubbed her until some of her love fluids covered my fingers and went a bit further by putting my index and middle fingers inside her equine pussy and massaging it from the inside. Minuette`s moaning became more louder and more of her love liquids came out and covered my fingers. I planted a firm kiss across her lips and her eyes shot open and sank into the kiss. I brought my fingers out of her and spoke.
"Did you enjoy that?" I asked while the mare was breathing quite heavily from her pleasure I gave her.
"Yeah but ... I want ... to give you ... the same feeling." She then faced her head toward my hardened member and removed my boxers to release the beast from his confines and faced her plot toward my face and began licking her dripping marehood while she was licking my member.
Soon Minuette began to suck on my cock while I dove mu tongue deeper into her pussy and this kept going for about a few minutes when she got up and turned around and guided my cock into her marehood and began pounding away.
"That uh feels soo uh good ... please uh harder!" Minuette said in pure bliss as I picked up the pace.
She fell on top of me and we began to make out as I kept pounding her equine pussy and gripped my hands on her flanks as my wings embraced to keep us close while me and the dentist`s tongues lashed out and intertwined with each other. I could hear Minuette moaning as we kissed and soon I felt myself getting closer to my climax and broke the kiss as I kept going.
"Minuette, I`m almost there." I said as I felt myself almost releasing my seed.
"Me too, please do it inside me, let us be one." Minuette responded between moans as I felt the urge to cum.
We cried each other`s names in pleasure and I felt her and I cum together. we stopped and were panting trying to catch our breathe.
"That... was... amazing." I said as we shared another passionate filled kiss with the dentist mare I loved under the moonlight.

Tonight`s Gonna Be A Good Night
(Torian`s POV)
Waking to the early morning rays of Celestia`s sun, I got dressed and did my morning routine without waking my beautiful marefriend, Minuette. With the limited food supplies until I got paid tonight at the concert, I was able to cook eggs and fish.
Being brought down by the trance of food, Minuette came down stairs and immediately began drooling over the well-cooked breakfast. I couldn`t blame her though since my mother taught me how to cook before she died and man did her lessons never fail me yet.
"Good morning, sleep well?" I asked.
"Fine, thank you ans last night was so romantic." Minuette teased as I only smiled at the thought.
"Lets eat shall we?"
I sat down and began eating and I must say, I have to thank my mother for her cooking tips and advice. After eating, I told Minuette about my new job and that I have to play at a concert tonight, she was delighted by this and wanted to tell the others about it.
"So I`ll see you at concert?" I asked.
"Yep, see you then."
With that, Minuette left as I got my sitar and went down to work with Vinyl. Coming into her shop, I saw the mare and gave me a smile before greeting me.
"Sup, bro?"
"Nothing much, just can`t wait for the concert tonight." I replied back.
"Yeah, its gonna be awesome, I already sent out fliers and posted them all over Ponyville, all we need is a song or 2 to play?"
We both decided to brainstorm ideas through sounds of music, play a few notes until inspiration hit us. It must have felt like an hour before we finally got something and in the end it sounded excellent.
"That was pretty good." Vinyl said as she gave me a high-hoof.
"Yeah, now all we need is another in case of a demand for an encore." I said as I began brainstorming for ideas.
It felt like another 2 hours past and it was already noon and still no ideas seemed to be inspiring until I thought about my meditation song.
"Hey Vinyl, I have a song in mind but, it won`t involve any electric wubs." Vinyl nodded in agreement and replied.
"Hey its cool man, I like the way that instrument sounds anyways." I was glad to hear that but it was time to get some more details about the concert.
"So Vinyl, where is the concert going to take place?"
"Oh, it will be held outside town hall and I heard the Princesses will be there too." This was a golden (no pun intended) opportunity to show the Princesses what human music sounds and looks like.
"Thanks Vinyl, now how about we practice our songs." With that we practiced, had a few breaks here and there, and chatted about music. Soon it was high time for us to head to the concert and we did earlier so we can get our instruments set up. It wasnt long until the audience began to arrive and it wasnt a large audience like a giant rock concert, but a medium sized audience of about 100 ponies or so.
"You ready?" Vinyl asked as we were about to go on.
"Lets do it." I replied as we walked on stage and I could see my friends, marefriend and the Princesses within the audience and Vinyl spoke out as I waved.
"Hello everypony, this is DJ-PON3 and I`m here tonight with a special guest that will be performing with me, the one and only, Torian 'Golden' Scotterian."
I waved to the cheering ponies and got into my sitar playing position and with a nod from Vinyl we began to play for the crowd and show them what human and pony music can do if combined.
After the song ended, the crowd cheers once more as we prepared for my solo and as I tuned it, I saw the Princesses and my friends quite surprised and it made me feel good to let them see a new side of me, the musical side of course. With the applause calming down, I began to play once more with my favorite meditation tune.
After the song ends, the crowd cheers once more as I stood up and bowed in gratitude and walked off the stage and met Vinyl.
"I must say, I always feel more relaxed when you play that and here is your pay." She tosses a small pouch toward me.
I caught the pouch and saw it had about 150 bits inside. "Thanks Vinyl, see you at the shop in 2 days." I said as I left backstage.
"See ya then." Vinyl shouted back.
I then met the others who seemed really happy that I played the sitar so well. "That was so enchanting, darling."
"Yeah, it was 20% cooler when the electric music was with it."
"It made me feel as if I were with my animal friends."
I felt glad I entertained them with my music and gave them a group hug.
"Torian, Me and my sister would like to speak with you in private." Luna said as I released the embraced and walked towards the Lunar and Solar goddesses.
"Torian, was that the instrument Twilight wrote to me about?" Celestia asked. I nodded and asked.
"Did you like the music?"
"Yes it was simply enchanting, but we are more concerned about this 'Attack on Pearl Harbor' that you and Twilight went through." Luna replied as I was confused.
"What do you mean? Do you want to learn more about it?"
"Yes but instead of you telling, we have developed a spell for us and your friends to enter your memories and see what the battle was and learn more about human technology in action." Celestia said as I thought over this.
"They want to see how Pearl Harbor went down, I mean it would be an opportunity to see what the attack did to our fleet, but what happens if they see what happened at Santa Cruz or when the Morrison sank at Okinawa? " Before I could continue, my thoughts were interrupted by Luna speaking again.
"I know your probably afraid of us getting hurt but we will be nothing more than ghosts to your memories, so nothing gets changed or erased."
"Well alright, I`m all for it if you want to learn more about my species technology and history." I replied and smiles formed on their faces.
"Excellent, now we must head back to Twilight`s Library, and we can start there." Celestia said as I grabbed my sitar and thought to myself.
"What am I getting myself into? "

Lets Look at Human Tech at Pearl
(Toran`s POV)
After my first concert, Me, The Princesses, my friends and marefriend went to the Library to perform a time-travel spell in my memories to see Pearl Harbor and the technology we used like the battleships or aircraft that were used in that moment in time, I on the other hand had some doubts but they really seem interested in seeing my specie`s technology. Once inside the Library, we were all ready to begin.
"Is everypony ready?" Luna asked. we all nodded and the Princesses began to perform the spell.
With a blinding white flash, we were back in Pearl Harbor, on Ford Island. All the ponies except Twilight gasped in amazement at the sight of ships moored in port and the planes inside hangers or parked off the runways.
"So this is the place that gets attacked?" Applejack asked with a little worry.
"Yes, but not until 8:00 am when the first wave strikes" I replied.
"So what was the fashion like here?" Rarity was quite excited and pointed at a lady wearing a fine 40s dress that were really popular. Rarity was simply interested and began examining the dress while Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash began looking through a hanger with 2 P-40 Kittyhawks.
"So how fast do these go?" Rainbow asked.
"About 360 miles per hour"
"That is as nowhere as fast as I am." She began to gloat as Pinkie hopped inside the cockpit and looked at the controls, and Applejack looked at the exterior.
Then the first bomb exploded nearby at another hanger and Japanese aircraft soared above us. The attack had begun and Celestia and Luna began to look on at the attack. I flew over to them and guided them to Battleship row.
"So these are all the 8 battleships that were damaged or sunk in the attack?" Luna asked. I simply nodded as Japanese Kate class torpedo bombers began launching torpedoes at the Oklahoma and West Virginia.
'What are those underwater explosives?" Celestia questioned.
"They are called torpedoes, they are self propelled projectiles that can damage or sink a ship from below the waterline, depending on where you hit." I explained as The Arizona violently erupted in a fireball from a bomb hit from a Val dive bomber.
"How does a ship explode with such massive power?" Luna watched as the Arizona`s magazine ignited.
"The bomb detonated within the ship in the ships ammunition storage called the 'magazine', if that goes, the ships doomed." I then remembered something that no other sailor did during the attack. "Follow me." The princesses and the other ponies flew over to me and we were over the harbor near the Farragut class destroyer, USS Monaghan. "See that little destroyer? And now look at that small black wake near it? That is one of the 5 Japanese midget subs that were in this battle.
The USS Monaghan begins moving quickly until a loud 'bang' was heard as the destroyer rams the submarine. Then, the Oklahoma begins to capsize due to the many torpedo hits and the fires that spread from an oil tanker onto the California.
On Ford Island, many planes parked outside the hangers were strafed as men tried to put out the fires, shoot at the enemy, or get planes into the air. some men inside the destroyed hangers either were killed or set on fire. Even the B-17 bomber formation that flew all the way from San Francisco were attacked and some crash landed on the runway.
All the carnage from this first wave earned some gasps and questions as the the Japanese begins to fly back to the carrier force about 230 miles away from Hawaii.
"What was that thing the ship hit? I hope it wasn`t an animal?" Fluttershy asked with worry.
"Don`t worry Fluttershy, it was no animal, but a midget sub built by the enemy."
"What does it do? recon?" Twilight fired another question.
"No, to sneak in the harbor and cause more damage to our fleet."
"you said there were 4 others, where are they?" Luna asked confused.
"Well we know that 1 was killed before the attack by the USS Ward and 2 others were found beached on the island a day after the attack, as for the last midget sub, we are unsure about where it was sunk." I explained calmly at the questions.
At about nearly 9:00 am, the second wave arrived, but this time America was ready, AA guns fired and the Nevada tried to make a run for the channel.
"Run ship RUN GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!" Pinkie shouts at the Nevada, but the ship gets overwhelmed and begins sinking after a few torpedo hits and beaches before blocking the channel.
But nothing more was asked or said as the ponies watched the attack until the Japanese pulled away and saw the devastation on the U.S Fleet. Then with a bright light, we were back in the Library and the Princesses walked up to me.
"We have learned alot about your technology and we wish to build some warships for defense on the sea." Celestia said and I saw an opening for me to ask something that could bring my dream one step closer to reality.
Yes but I wish to ask you for the construction of my dream passenger liner?" I asked with hope.
"But of course, after all you've done for us, it is only fair that this shall be granted to you, just send us the blueprints and we can begin construction." Luna said as I handed them the blueprints in a envelope I kept in my pocket. "We will look these over and send a letter when it`s complete."
"Thank you very much your highness's." I bowed as they smiled. We bid our good-byes and I was on my way back home with Equestria now going through a new technological advance thanks to me.

(Torian`s POV, 2 weeks later)
During the past 2 weeks, I have been doing very well, Ive been making money with Vinyl to buy more food and other essential needs, hanging out with my friends and going on a date with my dentist marefriend. But something I had predicted quite some time ago was about to come back and haunt me and having this nagging fear, Ive been using my Grandfather`s training to prepare. During this time, I was even able to fight in multiple enemy battles in case I was outnumbered.
During a fine day and autumn was closing in, I was outside forging for some berries to harvest and have a storage in case markets were closed and food was limited. We weren`t far from the Evefree Forest and we were also near a large lake that looked about a mile deep. I was even with Twilight, Minuette, Applejack, and Fluttershy who were helping me collect berries more efficiently like the Bessemer Process (A method developed by Bessemer to make steel at a more economical and efficient during the Gilded Age of the Industrial Revolution.)
"I can`t believe summer is almost over, its been going by quickly." Twilight said as she wiped her forehead.
"You said it, soon its gonna be Apple Buck Season and the entire eastern orchard needs to be harvested." Applejack agreed.
"Well, I still need to get some of my animals ready for hibernation." Fluttershy added.
"Alright, this should do it." I said as I loaded the last basket onto a cart Applejack loaned to me which carries 10 baskets filled with berries. But as I was about to pull, I felt something unnerving as if something was watching us. "Wait a moment we aren`t alone." I whispered as I moved my hand onto the sword and got ready.
"What is it? Whats going on?" Minuette said in a little panic.
Then coming from the Everfree Forest not too far away, 3 Timberwolves charged toward us almost at full speed. I unsheathed my sword and the others got ready for a fight but instead of going after my friends they just circled me and 2 more came out and tried to force my friends away.
My mind was racing until my prediction of this day came true, The battle-scared Alpha timber wolf arrived with the same scar across his face I set on him last time we fought.
"We meet once again." I said subtly as the Alpha growled and we began circling each other as the other 3 surrounding wolves just watched us.
I eyed him and awaited an opening until he jumped first. I slid to the left as he pounced as I grazed his right paw. Then I jumped up and tried to stab his head, but I believed he anticipated and quickly turned and swiped his claws causing me to hit the ground hard. With tears in my shirt and not a single wound except for the pain in my back, I took off the shirt and exposed my old wound to him as I gave the Alpha a glare.
The large wooden wolf growled as I charged once more as it tried to swipe me with its claws, luckily I blocked the attack and tried to use my strength to keep his claws at bay with my blade. I stared deep into his eyes with anger then I smirked as I quickly released from the block and flew over him to give him a good slice on his back. The wolf howled in pain as I landed behind him and ran away while decapitating the wolf in front of me. I headed to the the lake and I could see my friends running toward me and the Alpha. I was at the waters edge when I stopped and turned around.
The 2 other Timberwolves attacked me and I killed one by stabbing its heart and the other bit my right arm, causing me to drop my sword. I was bleeding, but not severely before grabbing his top and lower jaws and pushing them open further with all my strength before his mouth ripped open and the pile of wood dropped to the ground. The Alpha had caught up with me and tried to bite me before I dodged and casued it to trip near the water.
"Had enough yet, ya big toothpick!" I shouted getting into my fighting stance.
The wolf snarled at me and howled as I got my answer. "So be it then." I then ran full speed toward the wolf as it did the same with me. Then My friends show up after defeating the other 2 wolves to see me running at the Alpha.
"What in the hay is he doin?" Applejack asked in complete shock.
Then the Alpha opened its mouth and seeing my opportunity I hooped right inside and down its throat. I was navigated all the way into its stomach and I went to find it`s heart and seeing this weird beating wooden heart I ripped it out before breaking free of the wolf as I saw daylight again.
Crawling out the dying wolf I came by its head and gave him a victorious smile, My friends were happy I was alive, but more Timberwolves arrived to see the me kill their leader and the Alpha finally died.
'Im your Alpha now, Bow before me or be killed!" I ordered. as the Timberwolves knelled to me. "Dont attack this town and its inhabitants ever again and go stay deep within the woods far away, GO NOW!" I shouted as the Timberwolves ran away.
The ponies cheered and were glad they will never see those wooden puppies again.
"That was amazing!" Minuette said with happiness.
"That was so... assertive." Fluttershy added.
"Just happy to help you and I knew this day would come, An animal never forgets." I said before grabbing my sword. "Lets go home and get the berries if you please." I asked as we all headed back into Ponyville.

(1 Week Later Manehattan Torian`s POV)
Today was an important day in Equestrian History as the first largest ocean liner was about to be launched and I get to name and christen the ship myself. Based on the blueprints, I based the hull off another vessel known as the RMS Berengaria.
When the Princess sent me the letter that the ship`s hull and decks were completed, I was excited to go and see my dream put into action and grabbed my marefriend and friends and we took a train to Manehattan where the construction took place but after the launch the vessel still needs time to be outfitted with the furnishings, silverware, etc. I was really surprised that they finished the hull in less than 3 weeks, I bet the Princesses got the best construction ponies for the job and got it done effieciently.
When we disembarked the train, Manehattan was a lot like New York, even though I never visited, but I have seen pictures of the city`s skyline.
"Wow, so this is a city." I sighed in wonder as this was all new for me.
"Yes indeed, Isn`t it amazing, darling?" Rarity asked.
"I`ve never been to a city, I was more of the "less urban, but not too rural" kind of person, like Ponyville." I explained. "Now, I wonder where the shipyard is at so we can make it to the launch?" I began to wonder.
"Oh, don`t worry, I have ways darling." Rarity then trotted over to a stallion and began to sweet-talk him.
"What do you want?"
"Oh I was wondering if a handsome stallion like yourself could lead a lady where the new liners launch is?" Rarity batted her eyes.
"Um... I well" Ths stallion began to stutter.
"Its alright if you dont know, I guess I`ll have traveled to Manehattan all for nothing then." Rarity sighed in a fake defeat, but it got the stallion to talk.
"Wait, Its located at Hoofland and Wolff Shipyards that is not too far from here, Just make a left at Trottinburg street and you shouldn`t miss it."
"Thanks, darling." Rarity trotted back to us and I must say that was quite impressive. "Follow me everypony and person."
We followed Rarity through Manehattan`s busy streets and almost overcrowded sidewalks for about the next 10 minutes before we finally arrived at the shipyard known as 'Hoofland and Wolff'. We entered the shipyard and seeing a huge crowd we all looked up to see the bow of the newly-built ship adorned with flags that hung off the railing.
"Whoa, that ship looks cool, but I can`t wait to see it sail." Rainbow commented with enthusiasm.
"I must agree, That there ship looks like a fine piece of work." Applejack agreed.
There must have been a lot of ponies based on the crowd we were seeing, We also so happened to be near the front of the podium that was also in front of the ship. Then Princesses Celestia and Luna walked up onto a podium and spoke out.
"Greetings to you all, Today is a glorious day for Equestria and with help from our designer, we have constructed Equestria`s first steam-powered liner ." Celestia started as Luna took over. "Our designer is the human we all know as Torian Scotterian, please come up with us ."
The ponies cheered and stomped their hooves in applause as I made my way up to the podium and looked over the crowd that looked as if an entire country was present. I felt nervous but I remained calm and began to speak.
"Friends, I never thought I would see the day of my greatest dream, just moments away from becoming a reality, I wish to thank all the builders, welders and others who helped make this possible, especially our Highness's." I paused for a moment for a round of applause given to all the ponies who helped build this titan before I continued. "So without further delay, I call upon the great gods above us, to protect this fair ship and all its members and passengers and may she set sail til the end of her career, I hereby name this vessel, the HMS Warrior."
I took a bottle of Apple Cider and smashed it on the bow of the vessel and pulling the switch next to me, the blockage stopping the ship`s stern from sliding back was removed and the Warrior began sliding into the water for the first time. The crowd cheers as the mass of steel slid into the water for the first time and as the bow hit the water some tugs were on standby to stop and guide the vessel into her dry-dock for outfitting.
As she floated in the water, the launch was a success and the tugs threw some rigging onto the bow and towed the Warrior into her dry dock for outfitting and furnishing. I remained at the podium and the Princesses and my friends walked up next to me and watched the Warrior being towed.
"That was a mighty fine launch." Applejack said with happiness.
"Yeah, but um how long until she is ready to sail?" Fluttershy asked timidly.
"About a month, Our construction crews had been working on the lifeboats, the davits, propellers and when the hull was completed." Luna responded.
"Man, 16 years Ive been waiting for this day and many people said it would fail, but this proved them wrong, I may not say this much, but you are the best friends and marefriend Ive ever had and I wish to return the favor by issuing you all First class tickets for when the Warrior is complete." I said with great gratitude and the ponies cheered and we all came in for a group hug as the liner began her outfitting.
(Nightmare Night, Torian`s POV)
It was Nightmare Night in Equestria, it felt more like Halloween back on Earth, but hey Id like to enjoy new things and I can tell that this will become a lot more fun, for me. Earlier I told my friends and Minuette that I would like to share an old tradition that Id like to do on Halloween and to meet me at my house during the night. Throughout the rest of the day, I was setting up for the best scares and pranks I was setting up throughout their little trip into my house.
The plan was simple, Get them to go through the Hanger where the first trap was set, which a tile will act as a button to fire my F6Fs Machine guns at a target that will be hidden in the darkness. I will begin shouting and yelling in pain and make them think I was hit by the MGs and leave a trail of blood Once inside the house The girls will follow the trail of blood that will lead into my master bedroom where I will write a message on the wall and once they least expect it, I will "Rise from the dead" and pretend to be a ghost.
I`m going to have a lot of fun doing this and it certainly will be a Nightmare Reality.
"Man, I wonder what traditions humans did during their 'Halloweens'?" Twilight asked as she pondered the possibilities.
They were wearing really nice costumes like Rainbow was a Wonderbolt, Pinkie was a Pie, Twilight was some sort of Roman Warrior, Applejack was a scarecrow, Rarity was a mermaid, Fluttershy was a ghost, and Minuette was a nurse. Soon this will be the best prank I would`ve ever pulled.
"So, do you think he has some sort of special surprise?" Pinkie asked with glee.
"I`m not sure sugarcube, but there is one way to find out."
They approached my front door and saw the note I left which said "Enter through the Hanger ". They all turned into the Hanger and with a little push of a button, the doors closed quickly and locked them in. I could hear them scream from the sudden actions before they began to question what was happening.
"Wh-What`s going on?" Minuette asked with fright as Fluttershy failed to reopen the door.
"I cant open the door, I feel like were trapped."
"The only way out is right there so lets leave this creepy desolate place." Rarity proceeded to the door and she trips the first trap and 50 caliber MG`s fired.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!" I screamed out a blood-curtailing cry as the ponies began screaming once more.
"Oh no, I think we..." Rainbow said before she was cut off by Twilight as she gestured to Minuette and Fluttershy both in each others hooves on the verge of sobbing. Then the door to the inside of the house opens up anonymously and the ponies entered into the kitchen.
"Man this place sure is creepy like a haunted house or something." Rainbow stated as they looked around for their friend.
"Uh guys I think I may know where he went." Twilight said as she points out the "Blood" trail that leads upstairs into my room.
"Quickly, we must hurry, he could be seriously hurt." Minuette said with more confidence and fear in her voice as they all went up the stairs and into my room, my favorite part was finally here.
They entered my room and found my 'body' sitting next to the side of the bed and slumped over and the horrified expressions on their faces was a obvious sign that they totally bought it.
"Oh no, Hes... Hes... gone." Minuette, Pinkie and Fluttershy began to sob, Rainbow, Pinkie, Twilight and Applejack looked down in silence, and Rarity fainted.
Then Twilight looked at the wall and read the message I left before I 'died'. "Look everypony, he had final words he wanted to say." Everypony looked up at the wall which read.
'For killing me, You shall pay, for I will rise and it will be you who I will slay .'
The ponies gulped in fear before my 'body began glowing and I rose from it and looked at the ponies with anger and green eyes, red pupils and purple mist like how when Sombra possessed me and I learned this from my friends after the events of the Crystal Empire almost 2 months ago.
"You ponies shall pay for murdering me." I said menacingly and dive-bombed them as they all screamed and tried to run for the door. Once they reached the front door, they tried to open it with no avail with all the doors and possible escape routes were locked or closed off.
"It`s locked, what are we gonna do?" Minuette shouted in fright as Twilight began thinking of ideas.
"I got nothing!" Twilight shouted as they ran away as I began to chase them around the house growling in hatred as they tried to find a way out.
After a few minutes, they ran into the Hanger and I disabled the MGs so they wouldnt fire again and they were cornered at the door of the Hanger. I rose over them as they all recoiled and awaited their bitter end, which never came as I began laughing in delight.
"I cant believe... you actually bought it." I said between laughter as I transformed into my body and continued laughing.
"But... wha?" Minuette questioned in confusion as I began to explain.
"Yes, I pranked you girls, but I didn`t do it alone." As I snapped and on cue, Princess Luna appeared next to me.
"Did they fall for it?"
"Oh they so did." I said as we high fived or hooved each other.
"Princess, what in the hay is goin on?" Applejack asked.
"Dear friends, I was the one who cast a ghost-spell on him, locked all possible exits, and to make his fake body more realistic and believable." Luna explained.
"And the blood was ketchup and The MG`s were set as a trap." I finished as we began to chuckle a little.
"You really got us there." Rainbow began.
"And was certainly well planned out." Rarity chimed in.
"But, I do have a question, what was your tradition you like to do on Halloween you mentioned earlier?" Minuette asked.
"This was it, to pull a big laugh on my family with realistic effects." I answered as I knelled down to Minuette. "Are you alright now, because you and Fluttershy were really freaked out from the start?"
"Yeah, but it will take more than sympathy for me to accept your apology." Minuette said with a sly look. I then turned my attention to the clock which was 9:00 pm.
"Come friends, let us head over to Ponyville for the Nightmare Night fair is about to begin." Luna said as everypony smiled and she unlocked all the doors and cleaned up my house with her magic. "You coming Torian?"
"No, go on without me, I`m quite tired and I feel like turning in for the night." I said as a yawn escaped.
"OK then, have a pleasant night." Luna said as all my friends except Minuette said their good byes.
With me and Minuette now alone, and I can tell where this is going to go.

Lovely Nights, Mystery Dreams
It was Nightmare Night and Ive pulled the best prank on all my friends and Minuette with the help of Princess Luna. Luna and the rest of my friends left to the Nightmare Night fair in Ponyville and me and Minuette stayed behind at my house so she can accept my apology for scaring her and Il be honest Id be lying to say that the costume she was wearing wasnt cute.
"So what can I do for you to accept my apology?" I asked as I knew what she wanted.
"I`d like you to pleasure me and maybe I will accept if you do a good job." My lovely dentist replied in such a seductive tone.
We begin to kiss passionately and I`m not sure if I was hallucinating but I feel as if each kiss we shared was always filled with a sparks. Our tongues intertwined with each other as my left hand ran through her mane, right hand around her back, and My mismatched wings wrapped around us to tighten our embrace.
The mare`s moaning was sweet music to my ears as my free hand became adventurous and began to massage her slit. We broke the kiss and she began to moan louder and her marehood became more wet with her love liquids. We began to get out of our garments and put them aside as I lied down on my back and let my 9 inch rod stand proudly.
"Let us feel this pleasure together." The dentist said as her marehood faced me and my manhood faced her.
Almost in unison, We began to pleasure one another as my tongue went deep inside her as her tongue swirled around my shaft and I could feel her head bobbing adding in more pleasure. I then placed one hand on her flank and with my other gently ran a finger between her vaginal lips, a gasp escapes from the dentist`s mouth. I inserted my finger inside her warm moist wet lips slowly in and out, then 2 fingers, 3 fingers, 4 fingers, and eventually my whole hand.
Minuette moaned louder as my fleshy digits massaged her vaginal walls fisting her as deep as I can before pulling it out and saw her face with her tongue out ad her eyes almost in the back of her head. We then began to swap positions and with her nice rump aligned with my rod, I began to pleasure her as her vaginal walls felt warm and welcoming.
"You like that didn`t you?" I asked in seductive tone as Minuette gave into the lust I was giving her.
"Please... faster... I want to feel your love." The mare said between pants as I complied with her wish and began to kick it up a few notches and go as fast and hard as the engines from the Titanic.
I then stopped as I lied down again and she was on top of me, lining up her marehood with my twitching cock and pushing down as I grasped her flanks and helped her with her movements. I helped out by moving my pelvis and Minuette seemed to be lying on me as we kissed once more while keeping our pace.
Then but as the saying goes, 'All good things must come to an end.' I began to feel the urge of climaxing and I can tell she was almost there as well given the expression of her deep crimson blush across her muzzle.
"I`m ready... when you are." I panted as her crimson red blushed face looked at mine with a smile.
"Go ahead, I`m close too."
With that said, we pounded harder and and faster until it finally happened and we screamed each others names as our cum collided giving us the best pleasure we could have ever felt. With heavy panting and becoming really tired Minuette collapsed on me as we shared another kiss before saying.
"I love you so much and your forgiven."
"I love you too, my little dentist."
We began to sleep together holding each other tight and with my mismatched wings tightening the embrace we held, but Minuette asked something.
"Hey, um the Grand Galloping Gala is coming soon and um, I was wondering if you`d like to go with me as my date?"
I was never asked out to dances or dates back in my schooling years, Everytime I tried to ask a girl to come to town with me or a nice walk in the park, I was laughed at and rejected many girls and gave up the romance and live alone for the rest of my life. Kids say that I had to go back to India where I belonged and said harsh things about my father`s culture.
I wished Earth could be more like Equestria, but I then realized that the kids picking on me back then weren`t really my future friends to begin with and became the anti-social type until I met my squad mates or Jerry.
"I`d love to join you at the Gala." I said with reassurance as Minuette gave me a tight embrace and and a tender kiss before we both fell asleep as Nightmare Night drew to a close.
In my dreams ever since I was young, I wondered whether I ever have a brother or sister, since I had found a pair of glasses in my room under a cabinet when I was 10, they had a small crack at the top and my parents never gave me an answer for who`s they were, I still ponder to this day, but will I ever meet him or her in the future?
The only memory I was able to depict was when I was in my cradle, A figure walking into my room and when I began to cry, he quickly ran out. It was no taller than my parents and my sister wasn`t born yet, So was it a sibling I never knew? I may never know, all I can do is dream the possibilities.

Origins of the Lost Brother
(Little Rock, Missouri, 1918)
My name is Jaylen Jared Scotterian and I was born and raised on a farm owned by my family for generations since the Westward Expansion. My parents and I worked hard to get some money for the crops we grew like potatoes, corn, carrots, and tomatoes. I started working in the fields until I was 6 and that was when my little brother was born, Torian James Scotterian. But since Im working out in the field, I didnt have many opportunities for him to see me nor could I see him.
2 years later, Our crops and water supplies were beginning to decline and won`t be able to get some until next year, so I headed to a library to get some information about agriculture or a way to save ourselves from losing a valuable product to the economy, but what I found would change my life forever, a book in a dark section of the library containing information about dark magic, which I was hooked on and began to read it later that night.
Once I reached a spell and saw an incantation about beings that can help solve problems easily, I had a chance to save our family`s farm and read the incantation.
"Heed this call that I shall say and save me from my dismay, Give me answers to my need and let these creatures help me."
With that a portal-like opening appeared on my wall and these shadow creatures began rushing out and stood on the wall. I was quite afraid but if these creatures can save my farm, then I`m willing to trust them.
"Hello, I wish for your help, the crops are beginning to die and water is running low, I want to help my family make money, is there anything you can do?"
They all began looking at each other before they nodded in agreement before grabbing my hand`s shadow and shaking it and I can feel the shaking, and right there is when I learned that they can control shadows and to our eyes it will seem like a ghost. After shaking my hand in agreement, they leapt out the window and into the field and into the night.
I didn`t see them again, but the next morning, they left a writing on the wall which said.
"Thank you, for releasing us, friend we are still here and always will be."
I then looked outside and saw our crops looking healthy and the water was back at normal levels. Since then I had friends and I appreciated what they did for me and my family, But when I told my Mother and Father, they were shocked, but not in a good way. I showed them the book and they were filled with horror.
"You`ve been using dark magic?" My mother gasped in shock.
"Yeah but-"
Son, you don`t realize what forces you could be tampering with, and the doors you could open, but never close." Dad pointed out.
"We need to get rid of these creatures and destroy that book!" My mother shouted as I was beginning to feel anger and sadness.
"NO, they are my friends and they helped us by restoring our crops, So they are staying!" I interjected, but only to feel a hard slap across my face from my Dad and sent my glasses into my baby, brother`s room. My cheek stung as tears ran down my face as I ran up into my room.
I grabbed my book and as I did, my parents came in and were about to take the book from me, but my friends appeared on the wall and startled them, which gave me time to get away and ran away from home. My parents called and urged me to come back, but they fell silent as I got further away and my friends followed me as I traveled to wherever I was going.
*25 years later*
I was alone, but my friends were always by my side, I was in an abandoned house in Oklahoma where I lived off of eating buffalo and the water from the Canadian River. I was upset that my parents tried to take away my book and friends and I was still mad at them to this day.
But one night I was awoken by the sound of a portal being formed by my friends. The portal formed and showed a icy environment that appeared to be a blizzard. I looked on and saw a dark stallion with a curved red horn, red cape, silver armor, a crown, black flowing mane and tail, green eyes with red pupils and purple flowing mist from his eyes.
I was unsure, but I theorized that the shadow creatures knew this unicorn, but I was not sure that it would be able to communicate with me, So I gave it a shot anyway.
"Who are you and what do you want?"
"I am King Sombra, The master of shadows, and I`m here to make an offer to you." He replied.
"What kind of offer?"
"Your shadow friends are friends of mine and told me about you and your life from the moment you released them, From the point where you ran away, I decided to help you, I can teach you my ways of dark magic and become the most powerful being as I, but I also require assistance to conquer Equestria by taking out the Princesses, Element Bearers, and that human warrior, Torian." Sombra explained as I thought about this.
Torian was in Equestria and I never really got a chance to meet him, but if I go with Sombra, then I`ll have to face him, But becoming powerful sounded promising, the years of struggle I went through growing up, where I had no money or job, but this was my chance to escape it all and rule with a being who can grant me everything I ever wanted.
"So what do you say?" Sombra offered his hoof.
"You have a deal Sombra." I said as I grabbed his hoof and we went into Equestria, leaving behind all my sufferage and closer to my goal of power and a chance to become one of the greats.

Hey ponies and bronies, Golden here and this was the backstory of Torians forgotten brother, until now that is and I may have added a few Princess and the Frog references in this and hopefully you guys understand that Jaylen really wanted to help his family, but when they didnt appreciated it, he got upset and obsessed with dark magic by reading the book he found and learned that his shadow friends urged him to keep reading to understand the true nature of dark magic and became a power-hungry person.

(2 weeks after Nightmare Night, Torian`s POV)
It was finally time, time for the HMS Warrior to begin her maiden voyage after nearly 2 weeks of outfitting and sea trials. Princess Celestia and Luna sent a scroll with all the main information I needed about the ship, Speed: 24 knots, Turning time: 30 seconds, 1,080 rooms aboard, 9 dining areas, 3 entertainment areas, and 37 lifeboats.
I was also chosen to captain the Warrior, since it was my ship and had years of experience and training with naval navigation. but the best part was, was that they sent 8 tickets to the Warrior and a Captain`s pass for me. I can bring 8 other ponies with me and it was plainly obvious who I brought with me, My Ponyville Friends including Spike, and my marefriend Minuette.
When I told them about the tickets, they were almost as excited as Pinkie Pie usually is when she meets a new friend. After we all packed for the voyage, we took the train to Manehattan and the maiden voyage was a simple round-trip to the Gallopagos Islands and back to Equestria which should not leave until noon and will not take more than 8 days.
"Oh, I hope the ship is safe?" Fluttershy said with a little fear.
"Don`t worry Fluttershy, the ship will be fine, besides we do have our finest captain." Minuette cooed.
"Oh, stop." I said about to blush.
"So, where are we heading anyways?" Rainbow asked.
"We are heading to the Gallopagos Islands, that`s almost more than 400 miles from Equestria, but the beaches and fruit on the islands are absolutely fantastic based on the history of the Islands." Twilight answered.
"From the way, you all described it, the islands do sound divine."
"Yeah, and romantic." Spike mumbled which I heard but decided not to say anything.
After another 2 hours, We finally arrived in Manehattan and at the Warriors pier where thousands of ponies were cheering and waving good-bye to the ponies already aboard, and if this reminds me of another time in my history, it would have been the Titanic leaving Southampton.
"Marvelous, simply marvelous!" Rarity said admiring the paintwork and superstructure.
I`d be lying to say I was impressed with the shipbuilders and architects with what they did because she looked absolutely stunning as We walked up to the ticket booth.
"Tickets please." The booth said as all 8 of my friends gave him the tickets to punch and gave back."And you sir."
I showed him the Captains Pass and he motioned me to go ahead. We boarded the ship with fellow greetings from the staff and we made our way to Deck F. Throughout the ship, all rooms except the Crews Quarters and Captains Quarters were all the same so no passenger thinks he or she were better than anypony else. Each room were accommodated with 2 beds, a full bathroom, a little study area, 2 dressers with a mirror.
"These rooms are very roomy, and we each get to share a room!" Pinkie shouted excitedly as the girls began to discuss who sleeps with who.
"So its settled, Rainbow and Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy, Me and Spike, and Pinkie and Minuette." Twilight renounced as all the ponies agreed.
"Alright, Im glad your getting settled, now I must go, Ill see you all outside on deck in a few minutes." I said as I left to meet my crew.
Once at the bridge, the pony crew consisted of 10 Officers, that were all stallions in the bridge and I walked in and showed them the pass and they almost saluted in unison.
"Welcome aboard Captain, I`m Chief Officer Ocean Breeze."
"Glad to meet you, Is everything prepped for our departure?"
"Aye sir."
"Great." I said looking at the clock which read almost 2 minutes til 12. "Alright, close the gangway, put the engines at slow." I ordered.
"Yes sir." Ocean breeze saluted as he ordered 2 Officers to head down and close off the gangways as 1st Officer Sea Shore pushed the EOT (Engine Order Telegraph) at Slow.
Almost immediately, the engines began to vibrate as they activated and slowly rotated the propellers and with the help of 2 tugs, the Warrior began to gain some distance from the pier. I walked out and ordered. "Just a burst from the whistles."
As I saw my friends on deck, I caught up with them and when the whistle blew for the first time, Fluttershy cowered to the deck due to the loud noise from the whistles. We kept waving to the good ponies of Manehattan as the Warrior began to be towed out of Manehattan and until we reached open water.
I walked out onto the observation post with 1st Officer Sea Shore looking over the beautiful Equestrian Sea.
"Sea Shore, Lets stretch her hooves."
"Aye sir."
Sea Shore headed into the bridge and with 2 other officers pushed the EOT`s at Full Speed Ahead, The engines begin to work quicker and the propellers rotate faster and more speed is generated as smoke of exhausted steam flows out the 3 funnels.
"24 knots sir." Sea Shore walked back up to me as I smiled and continued to look over the vast open ocean as we continued our route to the Gallopagos.
"Alright Ill be in my Quarters, let me know of anything that goes on in the bridge, Sea Shore your in charge." I said as I headed into my room.
"Yes sir."
Once I entered my room, it felt like the rooms a Princess would live in, But I knew I needed to head down to my friends for dinner, s I left Sea Shore in charge of the ship until I returned, I got dressed in the Captains uniform I was given when I entered my Quarters and began to proceed to a lovely dinner in the ships dining area on D Deck.

Hey ponies and bronies, Golden here just to say that this will not be a Titanic rip-off, This will have references to Titanic and Britannic.
Secondly, if you have any good names for the rest of the 8 Officers on board, I`ll be glad to add them. Just in case you forgot what the Warrior looks like, she is based on this design.

(HMS Warrior, Equestrian Sea, Torian`s POV)
Waking up on the 2nd day out sea, I really felt like I was back on the USS Morrison, except we arent at a war and constantly had to worry about Japanese attacks. I got into my uniform I wore to the dinner last night and it was great food and had a lovely evening with my friends. Today, I wanted to explore my lovely ship until my return, Ill have Officer Sea Shore to take command.
I walked into the Bridge where I saluted to all my crew that were inside already. "Morning Gentlecolts." I said in an orderly fashion.
"Good Morning to you too sir, we should reach the Gallopagos soon, approximately noon." Sea Shore informed me.
"That`s good news, was there anything on the telegraph?" I asked to be sure everything was running smoothly.
"Yes sir, they`re on that board sir." My 2nd Officer, Ocean Crescent points with his hoof. I walk over and look at the 3 messages on the board that talked about Ice Warnings further north.
About a few days after I arrived in Equestria, I explained about the Telegraph invented in early 1800s and Morse Code, The Princesses like the idea of this new form of communication and I helped invent Equestria`s first Telegraph and later every boat, ship, and town in Equestria had telegraphs making long distance communication possible.
But with the Ice Warnings out the way, I turned to Sea Shore. "Your in command til I return." I said as I walked out.
Sea Shore nodded and replied. "Aye sir."
I strolled along the deck and saw a few ponies relaxing in the sun on the wooden deck chairs or trotting along the deck. I went inside the Grand Staircase, which is more spectacular, but not a copyright from the Titanic`s. The Staircase goes down as far as G Deck and under G Deck is the lower deck with the boilers, engines and other machinery.
I enter one of the entertainment areas of the ship on G Deck which sounded like Irish music. Ponies dancing and drinking cider and having a fun time. Other iconic sights of the ship includes a gymnasium, A spa, swimming pool, library, gambling area, a rave club, and a hospital.
"The ship builders and architects really did it with the interior." I thought as I made my way back toward the bridge exactly 12:00.
"Glad your back Captain, we have sighted the Gallopagos Islands almost 5 miles away." Sea Shore informs me.
"Good, right on schedule too, prepare the docking procedures." I ordered as the other Officers went to the EOTs and began slowing down the ship.
The Warrior slides into the pier and gangways open and passengers begin to disembark and explore the Island for 5 hours before the Warrior departs back to Manehattan. I leave Sea Shore in charge of the ship once more as I met up with my friends who had already left the ship and were standing on the pier.
"Wow, The Gallopagos are just as majestic than I could ever imagine." Twilight said admiring the tropical scenery.
"Why don`t we go sightseeing and see what this beautiful island has to offer." Rarity suggested as we all agreed and walked toward the beach.
Once on the beach, we looked and stared at the beautiful coastline.
As we all relaxed on the beach for a while, Fluttershy found some of the wildlife and immediately began to interact with it, Minuette snuggled up next to me, Twilight was taking pictures of Spike and the beach, Rarity was tanning, and Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were exploring along the coast to look for cool things like buried treasure or something.
Soon as the day past we had already hit the tropical jungle and seen cool things they were selling at the market place like hats made of straw and decorated with beautiful seashells found on the beach. I took this time to get Minuette a little gift, so I got her a custom hoof-stitched necklace with her cutie mark to finish, But over all it really felt like paradise.
But as the saying goes, "Time flies when your having fun" It was almost 10 minutes before the Warrior departs. "Alright friends, time to return to the Warrior." I said as the ponies followed me all the way back to the pier and back on board the Warrior.
"I heard Dinner was being served, why dont you head to the C Deck dining area, I need to get the ship underway and Ill meet you there soon." I said as the ponies nodded.
"Alrighty then, well see ya at the dining area." Applejack said as they all left. Minuette quickly gave me a kiss on my cheek before whispering.
I reached the Bridge and said hello to my fellow sailors. "Alright Gentlecolts, let`s take her home."
"Aye sir." the Officers said as some went to the EOT`s and set them at Slow.
I looked over the horizon and saw the sun setting as it was beginning to get late, then I sounded the whistles as we began to slowly leave the pier. A crowd, but not as big as Manehattan came and waved the ship and the other passengers goodbye as we began to steam out of the Gallopagos and into deeper water to increase speed.
"Sir, we`ve received some more messages while you were gone." 5th Officer Zealous Lake informed me.
"More Ice Warnings?" I asked.
"Yes sir, Winter is approaching and about 300 miles from Equestria, a ship named the Honoluna said she stopped for the night due to ice.
"Alright then, lets keep Warrior at a 21 knot pace and get some lookouts on the Crow`s nest for observing the horizon." I said.
"Aye sir, I`ll get Falcon Sight up there." 7th Officer Clashing Ire said as he left to get the lookout.
After a glorious day at paradise, Iam proud to be sailing the Warrior and having a reliable crew just made it more so. "Right, Ill be down at dinner on C Deck, one of you come get me if you need anything." I said as the Officers nodded and I left to dinner to eat with my friends.

That Sinking Feeling Again
(HMS Warrior, Equestrian Sea, 3rd POV)
Through the night on the Equestrian Sea, The HMS Warrior steams toward Equestria after reaching the Gallopagos Island with over 2,213 ponies and human aboard. At 10:50 pm, as Torian eats with his friends on C Deck, below in Boiler Room 4 , Chief Stoker, Coal Burner was in charge and looks over the other stokers.
Near the stern of the ship in the Engine room, Chief Engineer Steel Craft helps out engineers keep the steam pressure stable and makes sure to change the engine speed whenever ordered from the bridge. For now they are on a little cider break until further orders are issued from the bridge.
But in the Boiler Rooms each coal storage unit is in between each boiler and an AC unit is placed to keep the coal from burning from the heat of the boilers nearby, but in Boiler Room 4 close to the bow of the ship, an AC unit fails and shuts off allowing heat inside the coal storage unit and cooking up the coal like a furnace. But another flaw is that due to the coal dust at the bottom of the storage unit and the hoof tracks on the floor the heat begins to ignite the coal and as the flames got onto the dust, an explosion erupts and a large hole rips open in the hull about 10 feet long and 5 feet high. The explosion vibrats throughout the ship, but ponies pass by it as if they had hit a wave.
"Sweet Celestia!!!!" Coal Burner shouts as he witnesses the explosion, seeing a few ponies burn, and water flooding the boiler room. He quickly escapes with a few other stokers to the stern and quickly entering the Engine Room in a panic manner.
"What`s going on?" Steel Craft asks.
"Boiler Room 4 exploded and we are taking on water quickly, Phone the bridge and seal off the doors quickly!" Coal Burner shouts as he phones the bridge.
On the Bridge, the phone rings and Officer Sea Shore answers. "Yes Engine Room?"
"This is Chief Stoker Coal Burner, Boiler Room 4 has exploded and we are taking on water fast, close the watertight doors fast."
"Aye sir." Sea Shore acknowledges and turns to the crew. "Quick All Stop and close the Watertight doors."
The crew does as instructed as the doors seal off heavily flooded boiler room 4 and the vibrating engines slowly grind to a halt.
"We need to inform the Captain." Ocean Crescent says as the other`s agree.
"Right, River Strike and Zeal Fury go inform the Captain and bring him into the Bridge." Sea Shore orders as the 2 Officers go to C Deck to get their Captain.
(Torian`s POV)
"But after that I pretty much loved agriculture as a child." I said explaining my story of my early years of childhood on my family`s farm.
"That`s one heck of a story." Applejack said chowing down on the mashed potatoes.
"Yeah, especially when you had to harvest an entire field by yourself like Applejack sometimes." Rainbow added in.
But then 2 of my officers came up to me and Zeal Fury whispers into my ear.
"Boiler Room 4 exploded, please head up to the bridge."
I shook my head and turned to my friends. "Im sorry everypony, but it seems I need to attend to an important matter, but Ill see you all soon." I said calmly.
"OK, well see you tomorrow." Minuette siad as I left to the Bridge. Once there, I saw my crew awaiting for me and asked. "What Happened in Boiler Room 4?"
"Chief Stoker Coal Burner says it exploded and told us to seal off the flooding and I issued a full stop." Sea Shore answered.
"Sea Shore, Zeal Fury with me, were going for a damage inspection and then Ill see if we have enough time to save the ship." I said as we headed down to Boiler Room 4.
When we entered, I was shocked to see how much Boiler Room 4 flooded and was beyond repair.
"Captain?" Zeal asked.
"I need to look at the blueprints, come on." I said as we raced back to the Bridge, pulled out the blueprints and I began calculating. After a minute Sea Shore asked. "How much time, Captain?"
"Well, Boiler Room 4 is actually a well concealed watertight compartment, so we are still fine, but we may want to take it slow with the speed so we dont rupture any rivets or cause the hole to expand." I said which brought a wave of relief over everypony and we set the EOTs to Slow, The vibrating engines slowly started up again and we were only traveling at about 10 knots.
As the Warrior slowly steams once more, everything seemed fine as ponies made their way to bed. But after an hour of what seemed to be fortune smiling upon the ship, another AC unit fails in Boiler Room 3 and like Boiler Room 4, the coal dust ignites and expands the hole longer and wider, but Boiler Room 3s watertight compartment isnt as well concealed as Boiler Room 4 and can easily spill over into the next compartment. Once again feeling the vibration, I felt something was wrong.
"Captain, you felt that right?" Ocean Crescent asked worryingly.
"Sea Breeze, call the Engine room and tell them to slow us down." I ordered as Sea Breeze phone`s the Engine Room while I looked at the blueprints and based on how much water was entering the ship due to the size of the hull breach. "This ship has less than an hour to live, and with the pumps, will only buy us minutes." I told the crew as they seemed sad to know the ship will sink.
"Sir, shall we ready the boats?" Zeal Fury asks?"
"Yes and wake all the passengers and get them to the boat deck and be sure they have their life vests on." I said as the crew left.
(3rd POV)
After the abandonment of ship order was issued, The 2 telegraph operators Quick Hoof and Letter Post, were ordered to send out S.O.S signals and C.Q.D distress messages. The telegraph can reach about almost 200 miles from the ship and gives plenty of hope that rescue will be able to come soon.
Below decks in the cabin areas, stewards and officers began waking up ponies and telling them to put on their life vests and come to the boat deck ASAP. Some ponies considered it and began to go up to the boat deck while others didn`t put on the life vests and headed to the dining areas for a drink of cider and possibly a game of cards.
On the Boat Deck, Officers were quickly trying to uncover and swing out the lifeboats as the ship begins to slowly list to starboard. But below decks in the lower cabins, water floods the deck and beginning to rise higher up to a pony`s knee. As the Mane 6, Spike and Minuette felt the vibrating engines not humming as loudly as usual, they head into the hallway and saw the water rising toward them.
"Uh oh, the ship`s flooding, we got to get everypony out of here." Twilight says frantically.
"I`m on it, just hurry and get to the boat deck." Rainbow says as she zips room to room warning ponies that the ship was sinking.
"Alright, let`s go." Applejack says, but Rarity begins to pack her clothing. "NOW!"
"Alright then, I suppose I`ll make more once we head home." Rarity sighs as she and the rest of the gang head to the Grand Staircase to see it packed with ponies.
In the Bridge, Letter Post hands Captain Torian a telegraph of the HMS Honoluna responded to the Warrior`s distress calls.
"How long will she be here?" Torian asks.
"About 3 hours." Letter Post replies.
"3 hours?! Are their any other responses?" Torian asks once more.
"Yes, but they were too far away to reach us in time, The Honoluna is the closest ship sir." Letter Post explains.
"Thank you, Letter." Captain sighs and dismisses the Telegraph operator.
As time progresses, water was about to begin surging onto top deck on the bow and time was running out. Luckily all the boats have been uncovered and are ready to be filled.
"Sir, how shall we load the boats?" Ocean Crescent asks.
"Fill them all to the maximum capacity." Torian replied as Ocean Crecsent passes the order on
"OK ponies, come towards me, come towards me." Sea Shore shouts at the pony passengers on deck. "Right, Now we are going to be loading in an orderly fashion and fill these boats at the maximum capacity." Ponies begin to fill the boats but some had families and did not wish to be separated and Octavia and her classical band were on deck to play music to calm everypony and began with their first piece.
As the band played, each boat has a capacity of about 70 ponies and with the 37 boats on board everypony can be saved, but since there were 4 boats on the forecastle deck that is beginning to submerge, not everypony will survive.
Suddenly, Lights begin to flicker and the bow is pulled deeper into the ocean and the propellers were begin to breach the surface and still rotating. But the first 6 boats were successfully launched and others had already began lowering them. But due to the increasing starboard list, some boats had become impossible or difficult to launch and by the time the Mane 6, Spike and Minuette had reached the boat deck, some ponies were beginning to panic and throw some deck chairs or any buoyant materials in the water.
"Man, this is really serious." Minuette began to fear as the situation became dire.
"Come on ponies lets get onto a boat." Applejack said as she trotted to a boat that had a few open seats as she, Rarity, Spike, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash filled in the boat.
'Alright, I`ll see you girls later and please be careful." Twilight said as the boat began to be lowered into the water.
(Torian`s POV)
I abandoned the Bridge a while ago to find my chief Officer and saw him helping filling in a boat. "Sea Shore, your relieved of duty, everypony for themselves, but it has been an honor serving with you." I said as Sea Shore saluted with me one last time before I headed to the stern and met some of my friends Twilight, Minuette and, Fluttershy.
"I`m glad to see your safe." I said with happiness as we hugged for a moment.
"We are glad your OK, and the others made it to a boat." Minuette said as I was glad some of my friends were OK. I looked over and saw Octavia`s band perform one final song.
Then the boat deck became level with the water and the Boat deck began flood. We began to run to the stern of the ship and to port as the starboard list became more and more unstable to the point where you slide across the deck. Then a boat was swinging on it`s davit with a few other ponies cutting the wires to free the boat and saw an opportunity to save my friends.
"Quickly to that boat." I said as we raced to the boat and Twilight and Fluttershy got into the boat, but Minuette refused to stay behind. "Minuette your turn." I said gently as she held onto my leg and beginning to cry.
"I...I dont want to lose you, Your too precious to me and I cant leave you." Minuette said as she began to sob some more. so I turned to her and said.
"Your not going to lose me, remember all the times when I was in a situation, I made it through and I guarantee you that I will survive this, do you trust me?" I asked looking into her eyes. she nodded and I gave her one passion filled kiss on her lips before placing her into the boat with Twilight and Fluttershy before the boat was lowered into the water and I saw Minuette staring at me with her sad eyes, but I now need to focus on my survival.
I climbed onto the railing on the port side of the ship`s stern and held on as many other ponies did the same, slid across the deck, or jumped into the ocean. but with the propellers still turning, placing your jump would be safe and recently a boat filled with ponies were sliced up by the port side propeller. but as the Warrior sank deeper and the Bridge underwater, the #1 funnel behind the Bridge collapsed to the right and crushed a few ponies who were under the 50 foot steel cylinder.
As the end drew closer, the propellers finally stopped, the Grand Staircase flooded and many other iconic hot spots on the ship, the lights flickered once more but didn`t turn on again, but what really scared me was the cracking sound of the hull and like a big bone, the ship split in two and the starboard side of the stern slams into the water as the bow pulls the stern almost vertical as I climbed the railing to as far as I could go.
"Well, this is it, the end of the Warrior." I thought as the ship slips beneath the waves and I was almost being dragged down but was shot back up to the surface by the escaping air, but I realized that many portholes were open and caused the flooding and sinking of the stern to go quicker instead of the stern sitting vertical.
As I`m now in the freezing cold water of the Equestrian Sea and the sounds of cries for help filled the air I looked around for any wreckage to float on and to my surprise I did and floated on an overturned boat with 2 other ponies. We began pulling a few ponies as we waited for help.
For almost half an hour, about 10 ponies were on the overturned boat with me and the sea was silent because of the many ponies that froze to death from hypothermia. I was getting cold myself and decided to huddle with the others to conserve body heat until a flash of flight appeared not to far away, a boat had came back to rescue us.
"Hey over here!"
"Help, were here and alive!"
Please, Save us!"
With that our prayers were answered as the light was directed at us and the boat came around and picked us all up, but unfortunately, more lives were lost from the account of bodies Ive seen about 1,000 or more might have died from the frozen sea. But it wasnt long until The Honoluna arrived to pick up the 13 boats that were successfully launched.
As we boarded the ship through either ladder or cargo net, we were provided with blankets and hot chocolate to warm ourselves up as the Honoluna steams back to Manehattan. I met up with all my friends and Minuette who seemed more happy to see me. But among the 2,213 ponies aboard, only 1,303 died including 4 of my officers, many stokers and engineers. 910 managed to get on a lifeboat or survived the freezing sea to be rescued including Officers Sea Shore, Zeal Fury, Ocean Crescent, telegraph Operator Letter Post and Chief Stoker and Engineer Coal Burner and Steel Craft.

(Manehattan, Equestria, 1 day after the Warriors sinking, Torians POV)
After the Honoluna arrived in the Manehattan pier the Warrior was supposed to be docked in, A large crowd was waiting for us there and with the great loss of life aboard the vessel, Id say this will feel like the Titanics aftermath.
When the ship was moored and the gangways were released, the surviving ponies disembarked while I felt extremely sad that not only did my dream ship sink, but the 1,303 ponies who were killed and I felt responsible and were to pay the ultimate price. The Princesses were already on the pier waiting as they felt relieved that the ponies walking off the ship were safe, I was even happy that some of my crew, Octavia, Vinyl, Steel Craft, and Coal Burner survived.
As me and my friends left the Honoluna, I went to the Princesses with a solemn look of shame. "Princesses, I feel awful for this and did everything in my power to save as many souls, but with over 1,303 gone, I feel as if I need a punishment as I was in command of the Warrior and I take full responsibility." I said sadly as I knelled down before Celestia, Luna, and Cadence awaiting what punishment I was to be given.
"We want to know how this all started before we make a decision." Celestia said with concern as I went to grab Coal Burner since he was in Boiler room 4 when it exploded.
"Im Chief Stoker Coal Burner, you highnesses and I was in Boiler room 4 when it exploded from a coal storage unit, the logical explanation is that the AC unit inside the unit failed allowing the heat inside the storage unit and causing a fire, the fire spread down toward some coal dust and it ignited. Now Its not the captains fault your highnesses so please don`t punish him, he did try everything to save as many ponies as possible and the ship had less than an hour and with many boats and the list, there wasn1t much hope."
As the Princesses began to discuss something a large black crystal appeared behind us and a portal like aura appeared within it. Ponies began to run away except me, the Princesses and my marefriend and Ponyville friends. We all stared as a familiar hoof came from it and out came the Shadow King, Sombra.
"Sombra, we meet again!" I said with a little rage.
"Ahh yess, if it isn`t the human that helped me conquer the Crystal Empire, its good to see you." Sombra said with an evil grin.
"King Sombra, you have alot of nerve to return after what happened at the Crystal Empire, what do you want?" Cadence said with anger as Sombra snickered.
"What I want is not the Empire, but all of Equestria and I will not do it alone this time, for I have taken an apprentice under my hoof." The King announced.
"What kind of pony would let you be their master?" Luna said mockingly.
"Not a pony Princess, but a human who had discovered dark magic and has as much hate as I do and I think he might know who you are." Sombra said and pointed at me before another figure appeared, looking more human and he was wearing black clothing, had the same purple mist flowing out of his green eyes and red pupils.
"Hello, Brother." He smiled as I was left in complete shock.
"B-Brother? But Mom and Dad never mentioned-" I said before I was cut off.
"Mom and Dad were the reason I joined Sombra, after you were born and the crops were beginning to fail, I found a book about dark magic and used it to save our crops with the help of my friends, But Mom and Dad said they were going to get rid of the book and I`ll lose my friends, so I ran away and survived on my own for the next 25 years until I met Sombra." Jaylen said with a hiss.
"But Jaylen, Without you I was miserable, Mom and our younger sister died of starvation and Dad died in a mine collapse. But now that I know your alive, we can be brothers." I tried to relive him but he was too far gone.
"Hahahaha, Mom and Dad are dead? Excellent, Now we can get rid of you and the Princesses and those pesky Elements of Harmony and conquer this world." Jaylen said with triumph.
"What did I do to you and why do you need to conquer this world just because Mom and Dad-" I asked before getting cut off again by Jaylen whistling and about 6 shadow figures appeared surrounding us.
"These are my friends and theyve helped me grow strong before Sombra found me and they have been more of a family to me and if yo wont accept that, then maybe you should join Mom and Dad as well." Jaylen said as he wielded a shadow sword.
I pulled out my obsidian blade as well and took a battle stance, while Sombra looked on the Princesses and the 6 Shadow creatures took on the Element bearers.
With one swift motion we swung each others blades into one another and our fight commenced as Sombra and the Princesses fought and each shadow creature took on an Element of Harmony.
I broke contact with Jaylens blade and put in Grandfathers sword fighting techniques to the ultimate test. As I swung in at offense and went defensive in an orderly transaction. First blood was drew when I caught Jaylen off-guard and gave him a cut on his right arm. With the fight far from over, I didn`t know how skilled my brother was, but there is only one way to find out.
But catching me off guard he used dark magic and shot a beam at me with his hand. I sustained some damage and thinking I wasn`t paying attention, he charged at me. I unfurled my mis-matched bat and pegasi wings I propelled myself up into the air for him to overshoot and I managed to get behind him tap his shoulder, turning around to meet my fist to his face.
After dueling it out like 2 knights wanting the Princess`s hand in marriage, We were both cut up and were damaged, but neither of us broke our fighting spirit.
"Give it up Jaylen, I was trained by the best swordsman, I don`t want to kill you so just surrender." I tried to reason with him.
"Never, We will rule this kingdom and you aren`t going to stand in my way." Jaylen retorted as we got ready to fight once more.
"So be it." Was all I said before our blade`s clash once more. But as our fight commenced again, King Sombra was battered and weak by his fight with the battle-wounded Celestia and Luna, Cadence was sucked into her worst nightmare.
"Give it up Sombra, You`ll never win." Celestia ordered as Sombra only smiled.
"Oh Princess, you should know I`ll win one way or another."
"Wanna bet!" Luna shouted as the 2 alicorns fired at the unicorn only to be deflected by a black crystal.
"Come Jaylen, let us go." Sombra said as the 2 human brothers were stuck in a stalemate.
Then Jaylen shoved me and I stumbled to the ground as he got to Sombra and said before teleported off to God knows where.
"Til we meet again brother."
As the 6 shadow creatures fighting off the Mane 6 morphed into one, it scurried off somewhere as I dropped my sword and fell to my knees, not from the pain but from the heartbreak that my own brother betrayed me and became one with the darkness. Minuette was the first to comfort me as the others joined in until Celestia came up to me while Luna tended to Cadence.
"Torian, me and my sister decided not to punish you for the tragedy of the Warrior and we will try to locate the ship`s wreck."
I felt a little better at the news and got up and replied.
"Thanks Celestia, but I think I just want to be home now."
"I understand." Celestia says as I grabbed my sword and walked to the train station as the others followed.
This was only the beginning, with my brother serving King Sombra, Im up against a new challenge, hopefully I dont have to kill him, but if I do... Then may it leave his soul cleanand join the rest of my family in heaven.

Hey ponies and bronies, Golden here and man was this fun to write, Not only a new story arc, but more action is yet to come, but like all villains that have been defeated and escape, they`ll grow stronger.
Secondly, school is in the way of why some of these chapters are later than others, so I`ll find a system that benefits me and the limited time I get.
As always if you enjoyed, Like, Comment, Favorite, and Follow me and needing 4 more followers for the special double update. Til next time, I`ll see you all later.
(Ponyville, Equestria, Torian`s POV)
After the incident in Manehattan with my brother and Sombra, I couldnt shake the thoughts of how well trained my brother was, Ive been using my Grandfather`s techniques, but I believe he has been trained advanced and beyond of what I knew and by the condition of my obsidian sword, which becoming weak and not as effective to when I first used it, I believe it was time to step up my fighting skills.
I made my way back to the Blacksmith where I found the sword and saw Heavy Metal working on some armor.
"Hey Heavy Metal." I greeted and the stallion turned around and smiled.
"Hello, glad to see you again, what can I do for you? and let me thank you for booming my business since you became Equestria`s human hero like those Elements of Harmony and because of you, I hired 2 other ponies and you get 25% of the profit I make.
"Thanks I`m glad to hear that and I need to upgrade my blade and need more advanced swords training." I replied and revealing my battle-scarred obsidian blade.
Taking a look at it, he inspected the blade and balance and as I feared, It was becoming weak.
"Well, This blade is becoming weak and I can improve the durability and balance, but the ingredient I require lies within the Everfree, A small mushroom if you will, but this mushroom is unlike any other fungi, its like golds durability and can last forever like bronze it will look brown but the stem will be a gold texture, find me the mushroom, and I`ll fix up your blade free of charge."
I was elated at the news and nodded before heading into the woods with no need for weapons since the the threat within the forest seemed low.
Trekking through the forest was something I enjoyed doing in my spare time, now since the Timberwolves had moved on since their Alpha`s death. Based on the description, I began looking for the gold stemmed mushroom. I began my search at mossy logs or edges of swamps, For 2 hours I came up empty and decided to think outside the box.
"What about caves, it seems like it could be my best bet." I thought to myself as I found a cave and began spelunking. The cave`s stalagmites dripped with water as I ventured further and began getting darker. I then see the light at the end of the tunnel but came upon something an archaeologist or any treasure hunter would love to find, A Mountain of gems and genuine gold.
I was after one thing and that was the mushroom and it just so happens it was there on top of the pile of treasure, but not to get ahead of myself, I needed to take precaution, because treasure like this doesn`t pile up like this so I slowly descended into the pile of precious metals and climbed to grab the mushroom.
Once I got it within my grasp, it felt like the metals it was made of and put it in my pocket but then saw some other precious metals that would look really nice for jewelry and a blue diamond that would do perfectly for an engagement ring, Thats right, Im planning on purposing to Minuette, but I`m waiting for that perfect moment.
So I grabbed a blue diamond, some gold coins, and a bright green emerald and was about to leave when a series of loud thuds came from outside the cave and like every fairy tale, a big green dragon approaches and thanks to my quick reflexes, I ducked behind a large boulder before the dragon noticed me.
I peeked back to see the dragon curl up around his treasure, gave a loud yawn and passed out into his slumber. With this time I began to think of how to escape without disturbing the dragon that will kill me for entering his territory. Ideas raced in my mind when I finally had a plan.
"Lets hope those rock skipping on the pond improved my accuracy." I prayed silently as I threw a rock toward the entrance of the cave and like I hoped, the dragon woke and gave a snarl before leaving the gtreasure to see what was happening. I took the moment while he was distracted and quickly, but silently made my way up the way I came and out through the cave entrance I came through and booked it back to town.
"Woah what a rush and all this treasure I got will definitely suite me as well." I thought as I returned to the Blacksmith panting since I ran almost 3 miles from the Everfree Forest.
"Woah, your back and I assume you have the mushroom?" Heavy Metal said happily and surprised to see me after I was gone for almost 2 hours.
With the process complete, my obsidian sword was as good as I bought it, but was now more durable and once I sharpen it daily, it could become the most powerful sword in Equestria.
"Thank you, Heavy Metal." I said happily as I placed it in the sheath.
"Oh it was my pleasure and I must thank you once more for helping my business boom." Heavy Metal said with gratitude.
"No problem, I`ll see you soon." I waved off my friend as I walked back home.
With my sword restored and better than before, I needed to begin training my swordsman skills to an advanced level and far beyond of what my Grandfather had taught me, it wont be easy, but I will have to face my brother once again in the future, but there is one thing I have my brother doesnt... A strong friendship like I have made in Equestria, Jaylen may only have Sombra, but he was more like a master to him than a friend, but one way or another, Let the training begin.

(Canterlot, Equestria Torian`s POV)
It was the time of year what everypony looks forward to, The Grand Galloping Gala. From what I was told is that every year the gala turns into a catastrophe. Which is pretty hilarious when I think about the chaos and even Discord would be pleased. I so happen to be invited myself by the Princess for my few counts of heroic acts such Stopping a Changeling invasion and Stopping King Sombra and my brother.
Rarity made me a tuxedo to wear at the Gala and for safety reasons, I brought my obsidian sword. Once me and all my other friends were dressed and ready we headed to Canterlot, We reached the castle with haste and showed the guards our tickets before entering to see Celestia in a beautiful gown herself.
"Why hello there Twilight and friends." Celestia smiled warmly as we all replied.
"So this is what a grand ball is like, seems alot like some of the parties I`ve seen back in America." I pointed out as I looked at the scenery.
"I hope you will have a grand time, Enjoy yourselves at the Gala." Celestia said as I we all split up to do our own things.
Twilight stayed with Celestia, Rainbow Dash went to hang out with the Wonderbolts, which were alot like the Blue Angels Squadron back on Enterprise, Rarity went to talk with a stallion named Fancy Pants, Pinkie went to eat at the food table, Fluttershy was in the Castle Gardens, and Applejack was selling some of her apple-related food. I on the other hand went to the band to see Octavia, the cellist who survived the Warrior playing with a new band.
Then I remembered a classical song my Dad used to play during Thanksgiving or Christmas that was always a pleasure to hear. After the song ended I went up on stage and borrowed the piano and began to play, luckily the rest of the band caught onto the tune and began to play along.
As the song ended, I never realized that we attracted a crowd who began applauding. I took the leave and bowed in gratitude. I got off the stage where I was stopped by Octavia.
"That was quite the song we played, Do you happen to know what its called?"
"The Entertainer, By famous pianist Scott Joplin." I replied.
"Well, I see why it got it`s name, the crowd simply adored it." Octavia pointed out.
"Yeah it did, it was something I loved to listen to during the holidays back on my world, I listened to it so much I actually can play flawlessly." I explained.
"Yes, well I should get back to the band and if you so happen to know anymore songs, please dont hesitate because wed love to hear some." Octavia said about to leave.
"I`ll be sure and do so." I said as I went to get something to eat.
As I was about to grab some food, A dark crystal appeared right from the center of the entire room and the inevitable showdown was about to commence. Jaylen stepped out of the crystal, wielding his shadow sword and took a look around the room as ponies looked at him with fear, I quickly hid away to survey the situation and not instantly leap into action.
"Well, well, well, If it isnt the Grand Galloping Gala, the biggest party in Equestria, sorry to intrude, but Im afraid party`s over for I shall take over Equestria after I tie up a few loose ends." Jaylen said with a smirk as Princess Celestia, The Royal Guard, and the Element Bearers came in.
"Jaylen, you shouldn`t have shown up here, your outnumbered, Surrender or Die." A guard said, but Jaylen just held up his hand and choked the Guard til he stopped breathing.
"I`m conquering this place and there will be no one to stop me." Jaylen activated his dark magic and the Royal Guard charged or flew at him with their spears at the ready, but unfortunately failed as some met an untimely death by crystals impaling them.
The guest began to panic and run to safety while Celestia and the Element Bearers began to try and use their magic, but as futile as it was, they all were pinned to the wall. Jaylen reverted back into his original form and laughed with triumph as I came out and he stopped.
"Jaylen, It`s just you and me now."
"Oh Yes, the battle of brother against brother, how fun it will be to watch you die like the rest of my so-called family." Jaylen said with a smirk.
"Jaylen, its not too late to change, we can be a family again and be brothers again, please, I want the brother I knew back, not some corrupted monster." I said begging, but to no avail.
"Jaylen is gone, once I take the throne, I shall be known as King Darkness." Jaylen praised as I let one tear drop before showing the anger upon my face.
"So be it." Was all I said before wielding my obsidian sword and got to my battle stance.
"Let the fun begin." Jaylen smiled as he charged for the first attack.
I blocked the sword and went into defensive, blocking and evading his attacks. I looked and saw there was barely any room for me to fight so then flew up a little and flew away to find a more spacious area since crystals were all over the place.
"Where so you think you are going?" Jaylen asked before assuming his shadow form and chasing me.
I flew as fast as I could trying to get to higher ground and came upon the throne room where I was facing away from the throne while Jaylen faced toward it.
I then charged in while Jaylen volleyed shadow tentacles to smack me but ended up missing and being deflected as I closed in. I then flew up and tried to jab his head, but a tentacle uppercut me and flew back a few feet before landing on my feet. Then A tentacle screamed toward me, but I blocked it and caused it to swing around and break a few stained windows. The moonlit night shone through the broken windows as I maintained my ground and Jaylen reverted back to his original form.
I screamed in and flew to him for a quick hit and run but as I pulled out, a stinging sensation erupted in my back just below my wings causing me to fall and drop my sword. Jaylen then stepped on my wound as I held in the urge to scream he then grabbed my mis-matched wings and whispered into my ear.
"You cannot defeat me brother, this is the end, the end of you." He raised his sword in attempt to slice my wings off, but as I awaited a painful end, it never came, but the sound of running hoof steps toward us and it was Minuette who ran at Jaylen knocking him off balance and dropping his sword as he was rammed at. he soon punched my marefriend and she skidded toward the throne and laid unconsciously.
I saw her body and I thought she died, Anger flowed through my veins as I got up, ignoring the pain in my back and me and my former brother began to fist-fight. Throwing punches and kicks at one another until each of us were bruised and or had a black-eye. but Jaylen then ran at me with such force that we tumbled onto one another and out a broken window. But when we stopped, I was still safe while Jaylen held onto my left arm to avoid falling to his death.
My sword so happened to be at my foot`s reached and past it on to my free right hand, while doing so, Jaylen had fear showing into his eyes and began to beg.
"T-Torian, please, we can talk about this, please, we are brothers, family remember?"
"I recall a time when you said "so-called family" as in you don`t care about me?"
"Please, come on you know I can change please, give me a second chance?"
"Sorry, brother I tried to give you one, but after attacking my friends and possibly killing my marefriend, you don`t deserve another chance, good bye- brother."
I then had my sword at my brothers hand that held on to me and with one swift cut, his and held onto me as he plummeted about 30 feet. His screamed echoed until it was silent as I threw away his detached hand off me. Jaylen had died and me being the last of my original family, but with Jaylen gone, Sombra was still a threat to Equestria, but my biggest concern was Minuette I ran over to her and checked her over. She was still breathing, meaning she was unconscious, I was relieved and picked her up and went to see how I can save my other friends.

(2 weeks after the Gala, Torian`s POV)
For the past 2 weeks, it has been hard to pass over the loss of family, I got over my parents and sisters deaths, but my brother was entirely different. I gave him a chance to change, but he went with the way of evil. Minuette was only knocked out, but I had a few bruises, a black eye, and a 3 inch cut on my back, which wasn`t serious, but still hurt like hell.
On a fine day as Winter drew ever so closely, I needed time to get my head in a familiar environment where I can finally get over my brother`s death and move on and what better environment then in the air and over the sea. I left a note on my door to let ponies know I would not be about for the day and opened my hanger door to reveal the F6F I held dearly.
"Alright beauty, lets fly ." I said to myself as I hopped inside the cockpit, turned on the engine, closed the canopy, and taxied the plane onto the runway.
It didnt take long to speed down the pavement and lift off into the air and flew East to the Equestrian Sea which was about 50 miles away. I leveled off at 6000 ft and began to clear my mind of the stress Ive been through and all I need are my friends and Minuette to be happy. I smiled at all the fun and adventurous times we`ve spent until I had realized I was over the ocean which felt like 30 minuetes, which turned out to be an hour.
"Time flies when you zone out ." I thought as I looked over the ocean and admired the blue water. But then something yellow appeared into my view like a small boat and appeared to have something in it and was waving. Then it clicked, another human had arrived in Equestria, but another question remained for it to be American or Japanese and if Japanese I will kill him. I dove in and slowed down so I don`t go too quick but just a speed for me to get a look at the occupant.
As I passed by, I couldnt believe my eyes, Jerry Vinstile, My naval buddy is in Equestria. As I turned and came in for another run I signalled him that I will be back soon and flew off back to my base and to Ponyville. During the flight home, all I was thinking about was my old sea friend I havent seen since the Morrison sank in Okinawa and when he climbed into the LT Boat.
When I returned to my airstrip, I saw all my friends and the Princesses at my door which was a surprise to me. Once I parked the aircraft and shut off the engine. I walked over to them and greeted them.
"Hello to you and are you feeling any better, darling?" Rarity asked.
"Yeah, because we haven`t seen you since we came back from the Gala." Rainbow included.
"You didn`t even talk to us when we returned and you only ran off." Applejack finished.
"Im sorry if I were rude to all of you, its just that, I killed my own brother during our confrontation and wasn`t feeling right also had to bandage my back wound and clear my mind." I answered with a sigh and with some regret showing and looked at Minuette. "But I do have to thank you Minuette, for saving my life."
Minuette blushed in embarrassment while recalling to the memory. "I-It was nothing, I had to save you, because I had to return the favor." She said with modesty.
"But, I have something incredible to tell you, My naval friend, Jerry Vinstile is here in Equestria!" The ponies looked surprised that another human is in Equestria and he is my old war buddy.
"Where is he now?" Celestia asked.
"He`s stranded in a liferaft in the Equestrian sea almost 50 miles from the shore and I need a boat to rescue him." I replied.
"Don`t worry everypony!" Pinkie said with glee. "I know a pony who can let s borrow a boat." And she zipped off faster than a torpedo. I was about to question it, but decided not to and began to think about seeing my friend again, but I wondered how he ended up here in the first place. Then Luna came up to me.
"You never once mentioned you had this 'Jerry' as a friend, mind if you told us about him?" I never talked about Jerry for reasons unknown, yet I still think about him every once and a while, but I guess now is a good a time as any to talk about him.
"Where do I begin, He`s been more like a brother to me, Dependable, Kind, a real marksmen when it came to combat and helped me from time to time." I began as my friends crowded to hear what Jerry is like to me. "We started of in Naval Training together, He and I helped each other in every challenge thrown at us and because of that is how he and I had the highest rank in our class. We were both assigned to the Morrison and both did our duties. Every time a General Quarters alarm sounded we were ready to take on the challenge together, until I arrived here at least."
My friends took a deep understanding of how close we were and Pinkie arrived hauling a sailboat that looked to weigh about 3 tons and she was carrying it like it`s an empty cart. "How strong is this mare " I thought.
"Alright, I got the boat, now let the search party begin!" Pinkie shouted excitedly.
"Well then, lets save your friend, Torian." Twilight praised. She then pulled out a map and pointed at the nearby river that lead into the Equestrian Sea and we can use the boat to sail us there.
I still couldnt believe it, my friend I considered family was in Equestria. But time was at the essences, I dont know how long he has been in the raft so we had to get to him as quick as possible. As Pinkie slid the sailboat into the water, we all climbed aboard, set the sails, and I manned the rudder and we began to sail down the river.

(Equestrian Sea, Torian`s POV)
After a day of sailing through the river and into the ocean, We had finally arrived to where I believed I found the life raft with my old war buddy, Jerry Vinstile. The sailboat Pinkie borrowed was very roomy in the cabin below deck while I maintained the duty of sailing, even in the night. Even though the Japanese mastered this skill earlier in the war, American sailors including myself were taught as well.
It was early in the morning as Celestias sun began to rise over the horizon, I looked over the sea to spot the liferaft in the vast empty ocean. Finally, at a distance away, the liferaft was sighted on the starboard bow almost 3 miles away and it seemed as if Jerry was asleep, or so I think hoping he wasnt dead.
But I went down to the cabin below and rung the bell inside waking everypony. "Good morning everypony, Id like to let you know of two things, One, Ive spotted the liferaft containing Jerry." The ponies cheered at the news before calming down to allow me to finish. "Two, I need you all to stay in the hold for a while after I get Jerry."
"Why is that?" Twilight asked confused.
"Because I dont know how hell react to talking ponies and seeing mythological creatures and make sure he settles in with it well." I explain.
"We understand, We`ll give you all the time you require." Luna agreed and soon the others followed. I simply nodded and went back to the helm and began to maneuver the boat to the liferaft and slow down to a stop when I got close to it.
Getting close to the raft, I saw the condition of the raft and it seemed to have been out for about 2 days and it was obviously been through some-sort of typhoon due to the tears in some places. Looking inside the raft, Jerry`s body came to view, and now that the boat was at a full stop, I lowered a ladder into the raft and got inside.
I shook Jerry to see if he was asleep, then checked his pulse and thank god he wasn`t dead yet. I tried waking him again and it seemed as if one look he sprung himself into a bone-crushing embrace.
"Torian, great to see you again, my friend!"
"Great to see you too, Jerry" I replied as we let go of our embrace. "How was the war treating you?" I asked
"Bro, the War`s over? Where were you after Okinawa?" Jerry asked confused.
"Well Jerry there is something I need to talk to you about and that is... Its that we arent in the Pacific anymore." I said unsure how he`ll react. This was really difficult to explain, but I hope he would at least trust me and he could easily trust my friends.
"What did I end up in another ocean or something?" Jerry asked.
"No, Well yes, but we aren`t exactly on Earth anymore, but more like Equestria." I tried to explain to him.
"I can`t recall hearing that place before, you better not be joking with me." Jerry said becoming frustrated.
"No Jerry, I`m serious as a heart attack, but there is something about this place that is simply amazing, the creatures are as intelligent as we are, and not human too, more like mythological creatures we never thought existed." I explained but Jerry was unamused and I saw this right away. "If you want proof, its on this boat, follow me." I climbed out the raft with Jerry behind me as we came onto the deck.
"Alright, you can come out." I called out and my friends and marefriend began to come out onto the deck and Jerry seemed to have been blown away.
"I-I-I What in the name of Christ?" Was all Jerry could muster. When I first met these ponies, I didn`t know what to think other than them being part of the Japanese to gain American intel.
"Jerry these are the ponies I call my friends." I started.
"I`m Twilight Sparkle, you must be Jerry correct?" Twilight chimed in with her cheery voice.
Jerry seemed to have calmed down and couldn`t believe what he was seeing and hearing ponies talking, pegasi flying, unicorns and alicorns for the first time. Finally he was able to reply to Twilight. "Yes, that would be me."
"Excellent, This is Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Minuette." Twilight pointed to her friends as called while they greeted the new human. "I`m also Princess Celestia and my little sister Luna, co-rulers of Equestria." Celestia added as Jerry tipped his hat.
"Pleasure to meet you all and I hope we can become great friends." Jerry smiled as the ponies cheered for their new friend. With the help of Celestia, we compacted Jerry`s raft to fit into the cabin while, I set a course for home. Jerry and my friends seemed to be getting along well as my dentist marefriend came to me.
"I`m glad to have met your friend, he seems nice."
"Yeah, but I want to know how the war ended and how he came here." I said with curiosity in my head.
"Im sure youll find out, but for now how about we head home and probably..." I cut her off there before the converstion took a new direction.
"Whoa there Minuette, I love you too, but at least keep it down to where it doesn`t become public news."
She giggles at this and understands as I gave her a passion filled kiss which always leaves her blushing which I still found cute as we sailed home to Equestria with my war buddy, Jerry.

(Golden Oaks Library, Ponyville, Torian`s POV)
After another day of sailing, We`d finally arrived back into the magical world of Equestria with Jerry Vinstire. After Pinkie Pie returned the sailboat, We all headed down to the Library to talk about how Jerry ended up in Equestria and how were things back on Earth after my disappearance. So many questions flooded into my head that I wanted to know everything and it seems as I will as we all gathered around.
"Well Jerry, What have I missed since I was gone?" I asked as Jerry began to explain.
"Well, After the Morrison sunk in Okinawa and I was rescued, I didnt see you surface and thought you died. After the battle ended, I was reassigned to the USS South Dakota and continued to see relentless fighting on Okinawa til the end of April. But it was sad to say that President Roosevelt didnt live to see that day nor in the European theater."
"Wait, who is this President Roosevelt?" Luna asked.
"President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was our leader who received 4 terms of President, two more than any president should, He also helped us out of the Great Depression." I replied remembering how he was a great American President.
"But, you said he didn`t live to see the victories, did he die in combat?" Rainbow chipped in.
"No, he was in a building called The White House, which isnt a small house painted white and our nations headquarters. He also died of a stroke while he was getting his portrait painted." Jerry answered.
"So, what happened then?" Twilight asked eager to hear the tale.
"After Roosevelt`s death, His Vice President Harry S. Truman took over and helped put a project I never knew, building Hydrogen Bombs that can destroy a village this size in a matter of seconds." The ponies gasped at this and never knew that we were extremely advanced to build a bomb with that kind of power. "In August, 2 months after Okinawa was taken, the first bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima and killed more than 146,000 people and 3 days later, another bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, killing more than 80,000 people in an instant. Afterwards the Japanese finally surrenders and the Americans won the Pacific war, I even brought this newspaper with me."
As the newspaper was passed around, I didnt know what to think, About 200,000 Japanese souls were lost in those 2 bombs combined, but it wasnt as bad as the Holocaust in Europe so I was at least happy that the war was finally over.
"Why did they hit those two cities?" Celestia asked.
"We wanted to show Japan we have the power to end the war quickly and we sure showed them, After the treaty was signed a law passed saying the prohibition of building weapons of mass destruction." Jerry replied bringing a sigh to know that humans wouldn`t build another hydrogen bomb.
"So how did you end up here, darling?" Rarity wondered.
"Well, I was on an LT unit heading back to Hawaii so I can head home, but I was caught in a typhoon and the LT Boat sank killing everyone but me. I survived by inflating the life raft Torian found me in and slept through the storm in hopes it would pass. Then I was awoken by an engine sound and saw it was Torian." Jerry explained.
"That is really baffling, it must have sounded like you went through some kind of wormhole or something." I hypothesized.
"Quite possibly, but it is awesome to see you again, Golden, but what now, I don`t have a home to go to, nor anybody to see on that matter." Jerry said as Rarity immediately stepped in.
"I can also make you some more suitable garments."
"And we`d be happy to lend you enough bits to cover the expenses of your new living quarters." Luna finished.
"That`s really cool of you, Thank you, you are all really good friends." Jerry said as we all came in for a group hug.
Then Minuette motioned me to follow her. "Excuse me, but it seems as if I have some maintenance on my aircraft to work on, so I`ll catch you all later."
I left as all my friends waved and saw Minuette standing patiently waiting for me. "So what`s up?"
"Since we found your friend and you seem to be in much higher spirits, I was wondering if you would like to go out for another date, I mean its been a while since our last night together and it seemed-" I cut her off there with a firm a kiss that seemed to make her melt in happiness.
"Minuette, I`m more than happy to go on a date with you, your always going to be my little dentist no matter what happens." I stared at her in her blue eyes pouring out my love toward her and she blushed deeply. "So whens the date?"
"Tomorrow at the lake." She said while still blushing after what I said.
"Alright, see you tomorrow." I then headed home to get some rest.
(Meanwhile at the Crystal Empire)
King Sombra looks over the Empire with a devious grin as an army arises behind him, an army of Changelings.
"Finally, I can take over once more and with my new army, it shall fall easily and I`ll finally end that retched human, who killed my apprentice."
"My King, the army is ready at your signal, that shield won`t last long if we hit it hard." The General Changeling informs him.
"Attack at will and subdue all guards and the Prince and Princess that rule here." Sombra said as the General begins the assault of the Crystal Empire.

Date Night with a Dentist
(A few Hours later, Torian`s POV)
I was at home preparing myself for the date Minuette and I were about to have soon while Jerry marveled at my mis-matched wings. I know they look cool, but it seems to a driven too much attention to Jerry.
"Jerry, I know you like them, but come on dude, Its getting a little creepy."
"Sorry dude, I just can`t help it, they are so cool that I want a pair of my own." Jerry replied finally breaking eye contact on my wings.
"Well anyways, since your gonna be here til you find your house, just make sure you dont break any of my stuff while Im gone on my date with Minuette."
I had told Jerry about my relationship with Minuette and he thought it was cool that he`d hope to have one for himself, I mean being in the military has its perks especially on girls who love a man in uniform.
But as the clock struck 7:00 I left the house and headed down to the lake to meet my lovely marefriend. The evening was brisk and felt cool, since winter is a mere few days away and the fact that all the animals went into hibernation. As I saw the lake I found Minuette with a nice picnic area setup with a fine dish of pasta and some fine apple cider.
"Hey you made it!" Minuette smiled as I approached.
"Wouldn`t miss a date for you." I said with a smile and sat down at the blanket.
Minuette sat next to me as she levitated the pasta over and we both chowed down and it certainly tastes like it was made from Italy. After a while she and I had the same noodle and as we sucked it into our mouths, we both kissed which was a reference to some old movie I used to watch as a kid, but it was magical to relive it in real life.
Minuette blushed at this but it still was magical to her as we continued passion filled kiss. After a couple minutes, we broke the kiss and stared at the sunset over the Equestrian horizon. Minuette laid on my lap as we watched as I stroked her mane.
"So beautiful, isn`t it?" Minuette said with a sigh.
"Just like you." I said not paying-much attention to the words I just said.
"Oh, such a charmer you are." Minuette happily said.
"I believe we both know how to make this night even better." I said as she had that lustful look on her face,
We packed up the picnic and headed back to my home and went up into my bedroom. As we lied down on the bed we looked into each others eyes once more and shared another kiss which I poured my love into as our tongues wrapped around one another. Wrapped my wings around her as one hand was at her cheek while the other was rubbing her back.
I could her her cooing at this action and simply melted as I continued, but once I hit her flanks, she began to moan lustfully. We broke the kiss after what seemed like an eternity and she used her magic to undo my pants as I took off my shirt and my erect manhood sprang from its prison as Minuette sat up upon me with her flanks facing me and exposing her glistening marehood as she took a nice lick and began bob her head as I felt the ever welcoming pleasure. While she continued to bob like a piston on a engine, I used my free hand to insert 2 fingers to tease her clit and making her go mad.
"Please, don`t tease me." Minuette said as I then put my fingers inside her.
I could hear her muffled moans while she she kept sucking on my rod as she stopped for a moment and cried out. "Sweet Celestia that feels good!" and goes back to pleasuring me. After a few minutes, we swapped positions with me on top of her and I inserted my rod inside her warm moist mare genitals as we made out and I pounded the lovely mare. As broke the kiss, her eyes seemed to be rolled into the back of her head and her mouth was open with her tongue sticking out while panting lustfully.
I then stopped as she got up and her flanks faced me and I once again inserted my love rod into her marehood and made love to the dentist I loved. She began to moan louder and telling me to go faster and harder, and her pussy began to contract as she neared her limit, I was close to mine as well.
"Please, fill me with your love!" Minuette cried with pleasure as she began to climax.
"Minuette!" I said back as I did too.
"I love you, Torian." Minuette sighed.
"I love you too, Minuette." I replied as we both shared one more passion filled kiss under the moonlit night.
(Meanwhile in the Crystal Empire)
King Sombra sits upon his throne once more with Changelings keeping watch over the crystal ponies and the royals as some Crystal Guards tried to fight off the Changelings. Some guards and Changelings fell, but something had to change. Meanwhile in a small hut, 3 ponies were inside writing a letter.
"Dear Princess Celestia,
King Sombra has returned and reclaimed the Empire, But he didn`t come alone. He had an army of Changelings by his side and easily took control. We know that you can save us, please hurry, Time is at the utmost importance.
Sincerely, The Crystal Ponies
After the letter was written, a pony grabbed it by her mouth and crept through the Empire while staying undetected by the Changelings.
Author's Note

(3 Days Later, Torian`s POV)
For the past 3 days have been great spending time with Jerry by trading a few jokes, Telling him about this world, and his time without me after the Morrison, but out of the blue like a kamikaze, Twilight bursts into my house with a letter from Princess Celestia which read.
"Dear Twilight and friends,
I regret to inform you that King Sombra has once again reclaimed the Crystal Empire, but he wasn`t alone. He has an army of Changelings by his side and easily conquered the Empire. I need you to head over there immediately to free the Empire once again and defeat Sombra and his Changeling army. I have faith in you.
Signed Princess Celestia. "
I grabbed my sword and Jerry got the 50 caliber MG, and Twilight grabbed her friends and we met at the trains station to go to the corrupted Crystal Empire. Jerry then broke the silence during the train ride.
"So Torian, what are these Changelings?"
"Creatures that can take the form of anybody or pony it sees and are very good manipulators." I replied. "I even killed their Queen a few months back."
"So whats the plan defeating them, darling?" Rarity asked Twilight.
"I don`t know, but Sombra is our number 1 priority and we can deal with the changelings later." Twilight replied while thinking of a plan.
Meanwhile Jerry and I looked at each other and smiled thinking exactly the same thing, pretending each Changeling was a Japanese aircraft and use our guns to take them down. Jerry tossed me a gun and some ammo clips as we approached the station.
Once at the Empire, it was swarming with Changelings and the ponies were in chains. This rips my heart to see innocent lives being treated like slaves, I looked over at Jerry and he looked at me.
"You ready, old timer?" Jerry asked.
"Please, lets see if you can actually aim." I joked back at him then looked at Twilight. "OK, Twilight, Me and Jerry will provide cover for you and your friends so you can free Princess Cadence and Shining Armor, then we`ll meet you at the throne room."
Twilight nodded as I joined Jerry and we ran in like troops trying to infiltrate a bunker, got to a few crystal buildings and began to fire upon the doppelgangers. We shot a few down and caught the enemy completely off-guard, but since they have numbers on their side, some reacted quicker than others and flew straight at me and Jerry.
Our 50 caliber guns tore apart Changelings almost as fast as more came in, But as Twilight and her friends slipped in toward the castle, she signaled me that she made it and left to save her brother and sister-in-law. Jerry and I were literally having a blast since it brought up great times for us since the Morrison and the days we served onboard her.
But we had to get moving, like a soldier in a battle, I motioned Jerry to follow me toward the castle. We kept firing at the until we reached the castle doors and slammed them shut and barricaded them to hold them off.
"That was quite fun though." Jerry panted as we were catching our breathes.
"Yeah, now lets get ourselves to the throne room, that barricade won`t last forever." I said as we headed up to the throne room doors and were ready for the finally fight. Twilight and her friends soon arrived with Princess Cadence and Shining Armor from the dungeons.
When everypony and Jerry was ready, we burst through the doors and saw King Sombra upon his throne.
"Sombra, after the many encounters we`ve had this will be the last." I started as he just stared at me.
"Ah yes, I do believe this is the part where I`ll kill you and all your friends, Lets end this shall we?" Sombra then leaps from his throne and an army of Changelings poured in and attacked the elements and Jerry and I faced Sombra.
The Shadow King charged up his horn and fired a beam which I deflected with my sword and Jerry was firing at him, but had no effect and the bullets were just absorbed into him. I then charged at Sombra and tried to attack him but his dark magic formed a crystal slammed me back to Jerry.
"God, Sombras more powerful than I previously thought." I said to myself and lifted up myself off the ground. Then Sombras horn charged once more, but a more powerful spell was taking hold and time seemed to slow down as he fired his spell directly at me. I then awaited the pain to arrive, but it seemed as if it didn`t as I look to see Jerry, taking a bullet, or spell in this case for me. the magic was at his heart and he skidded a few feet and twitched a little as the dark magic flowed through his body.
"Jerry! Jerry!" I screamed hoping he would respond, but I looked at Sombra who charged his horn once more.
"Your next!" He said with a sinister smile as I got to my feet.
He shot another beam of dark magic and without thinking, I pulled my left arm out and like catching a ball, I gripped his magic. I then placed it on my sword to give it a dark magic ability. purple smoke leaked out of my eyes as the turned green and the pupils red. Sombra was surprised at this and could only watch.
"King Sombra, your reign here is over, It is now time for you to return where you once came." was all I said as I used my sword and used it to cast a spell and strip Sombra of his dark magic. I then stabbed at the floor to create a hole in the ground and forced Sombra into it and trapping him beneath the earth.
After the battle concluded, My friends fended off the Changelings and the Crystal Heart was back in place and restored the Empire once more, but I go over to my friend`s body and see that he has been in excruciating pain.
"Jerry, Can you hear me buddy?"
"G-Golden, I`m dying." Jerry responded breathing heavily.
"Don`t worry Jerry, We can still save you, let me just get Cadence and-" I was cut off by Jerry holding my shoulder.
"Its alright, I had a good run, Ive served my purpose and Im glad I was able to see you once more." A tear streaks down my face as he was about to die.
"I`m glad I was able to take that shot, You have a life here and I-I want you to l-live it, Please t-tell my tale my dear friend. Good-bye." With his last exhale, Jerry died peacefully. All the ponies were saddened by this and looked down and Applejack took her stetson off in respect.
"Twilight, write a letter of the good news and bad news and tell her to meet us at Horseshoe Bay." Was all I said as Twilight began to write, I`m willing to give my deceased friend a proper send-off.
(2 Days Later)
At Horseshoe Bay, I stood by the funeral boat where my friend was laid with an American flag, made by Rarity covering his body and the Navy hat he wore over it. Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadence, Shining Armor, Twilight and her friends, and Minuette stood in sorrow to mourn the loss of my fallen comrade.
After the services concluded, I slid the boat into the bay and it began to drift out to sea. I ignited the tip of an arrow and fired it from a bow, hitting the boat and the fire spread burning the body with it as I saluted in respect of my friend. On the last beach me and Jerry sat on, he told me not to wish for war, and he was right, I`ve seen more blood flow than any man or pony should see in a life time.

(1 Week Later, Ponyville, Equestria, Torian`s POV)
After a week of grief from the loss of my old war buddy Jerry Vinstire, I felt ready to move on and decided to head to the Golden Oaks Library to find an interesting read, since there is still a bunch of things I do not know about this magical land.
After entering the Library, I saw Twilight and Spike reorganizing the books. "Hey, Twilight." I greeted as the 2 looked back at me.
"Hey Torian, I hope your feeling better." Twilight said with a little worry.
"It`s fine Twilight, I only came by to find a nice book to read." I replied as Twilight smiled.
"OK, what book do you like?"
I was about to answer when the little drake burped out fire and a scroll appeared from the flames. It was pretty cool, but as Twilight read the letter, she gasped from either fright or excitement and then turned to me.
"Princess Celestia had just found your liner, The HMS Warrior in the Equestrian Sea almost a mile below the surface and she wants us all to Manehattan and help her raise the ship and refit it." Twilight explained as memories filled from the fateful night almost 2 months ago, where over 1,403 ponies died and the explosions from the coal bunkers. It would be amazing to send my ship back for a second chance after all we can now correct the errors made and make the Warrior stronger.
"Twilight grab your friends and Minuette, we`re heading to Manehattan." I said with confidence knowing that we will once again meet the liner that shook the world.
After leaving Ponyville, my friends began to ask what was happening since we never told them anything yet. "Can somepony please tell me whats going on?" Applejack asked and demanded for an answer.
"It seems as if the Princess had found something we lost about a few months earlier and that something, is the HMS Warrior." I explained as ponies were surprised.
"You mean that liner that sank in the ocean?" Rarity pondered.
"Exactly and the Princess wants us to help bring it back to the surface." Twilight chipped in.
"So why do we need to do this ASAP?" Rainbow tossed in.
"If we raise the ship now, we can save it from decay from rust, since the Warriors made of steel, water will cause it to corrode and eventually cause it to collapse." I explained as we slowly pulled into Manehattan. Alot of memories filled my mind from the Warrior`s launch and departure, The Changeling invasion, and my first battle with my brother, now I can only imagine the sight of the liner in dry dock being refitted and refurbished to make it look new.
"Dearest friends." Luna approached us. "Wonderful for you all to make it."
"We wouldn`t miss it for the world." I replied.
"Come, our boat awaits us and will leave to the Warrior`s location." We all followed the Lunar Princess to a research boat of some kind.
"Hello, please come aboard and we shall be there momentarily." Celestia motioned all of us aboard. After a short blow from the whistles, we began to depart from the Manehattan harbor and out to sea to give life to a warrior.
After mere hours of sailing, wed finally arrived at the ships wreck area. I know Equestria hasnt invented the submarine, but I know theyll come up with something.
"Alright, the ship is a mile below the surface and with that depth, there isn`t much light to illuminate the ship." Celestia stated as Luna chimed in. "But based on the photographs our divers took, the ship is barely in one piece with much debris."
looking at the photos the ship resembles another wreck on earth known as the HMHS Britannic.
The Warrior lies on the starboard side, the stern almost seemed to be detached from the ship, probably since the double hull held them together during the descent to the sea floor. All the funnels were ripped off their foundations, the paint faded in a few places and a few davits were missing. But thinking of how to raise the ship was quite difficult since, I`ve seen it after the attack at Pearl Harbor. Then Twilight speaks with an idea.
"Princess, I believe I know how we can save the ship, but we are going to need alot of Pegasi and a giant dome." She then looks at Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow Dash, I need you to collect all the pegasi and bring them here."
"Sure thing Twilight, I`ll be back soon." Rainbow acknowledged and flew off faster than a missile.
"Twilight, what are you thinking dear?" Rarity asked.
"Oh you`ll find out." She then charges her horn with lots of strength and seemed to be quite difficult, but she conjures a giant glass bowl and lets it sink to the bottom over the wreck site and I began getting the picture of what she was doing.
By the time the dome hit the sea floor, Rainbow Dash with over a thousand pegasi came over before us. "Alright Twilight, here is all the pegasi I could find." Rainbow gestured.
"Great, now all we need is a giant pup to pump out the water and safely remove all the sea creatures so we can raise the ship with air power." Confirming my theory.
"I`ll summon the pump Twilight." Celestia said and charged her horn and a long tube formed and the pump activated since water is being sucked from the wreck area, up the tube that stretches to the surface and pours the water back into the ocean.
It may take a while, but I know that by the time this is complete, the pegasi will be lifting the Warrior out the water and carrying it back to Manehattan will most likely be exhausting work like how Twilight told me about that water tornado the pegasi had to do to bring water up to a place called Cloudsdale.

(1 Week Later, Ponyville, Equestria, Torian`s POV)
For the past week things are changing drastically like the refitting of the HMS Warrior after raising her and a day for the pegasi to fly it over to Manehattan. After that, I was reading more about pony culture when a thing called 'Heat Season' caught my eye. It said that every fall and spring mares go through a hormone overload and wont stop at nothing until theyve been 'rutted' which in other words means fucked.
From today, Heat Season was tomorrow and If I were to make it without getting a mare impregnated and getting Minuette`s heart broken, I were to skip town and hide out in the Everfree Forest the night before. I packed a up a weeks worth of food and supplies since the Heat Season lasts about a week and went to grab some of my stallion friends: Big Mac, Thunder lane, and Doctor Whooves. They knew this day was coming and I asked them if we could stick together, They all agreed and we would leave the day before Heat Season began.
I began to sneak through Ponyville and picking up my guy friends one by one before heading off to the Everfree Forest, We chose the Everfree of all places since no mare would dare to trek inside it.
"I`m glad we all agreed to stick together, Last year I was almost spotted by Flitter and Cloudchaser, right before the season ended." Thunder Lane said shivering at the thought.
"You thought that was bad, My sisters were a mere mane`s breathe away from finding me in my hiding spot." Big Mac added.
"Sounds like you had stories to tell, why don`t we share them once we reach our hideout." I said as we we came across a cave. The cave was spacious and seemed like a long tunnel which also interested me.
"I recommend we explore this cave, seems like we may need an escape route in case we get spotted." Doctor Whooves implies and makes a valid point.
"Good Idea, we can`t be too careful. Thunder lane agrees and we all began spelunking. The cave had 2 systems, one was a dead end and the other lead up to the surface. I then had an idea and by th looks of the faces of my other friends, they were thinking the exact same thing; Building traps.
After a couple hours, We`ve laid out the traps and made ourselves comfortable as the Heat Season began and by now ever mare in Ponyville is looking for a stallion to calm that itch. All four of us had brought items to help us pass the time like books or magazines, but then things were beginning to take a turn 3 days later where almost all our food is depleted and we were getting bored.
"I`m so bored and hungry!" Thunderlane complained holding his stomach as it let out a hungry growl.
"I agree, We simply must eat something." Doctor Whooves agrees.
"But we ate all the reserve berries." I pointed out as fear sets in us.
"Y-You don`t mean we have to... to go back there?" Big Mac began shaking with fright.
"I`m afraid so, but if we are able to slip pass those heat-crazed mare, we need a plan and map out how we enter and leave." Doctor Whooves pointed out and we were glad we had a genius with us. But to reduce the risk of capture, only one of us can go and I volunteered.
The plan was simple; Step 1, slip into town, Step 2, Snoop into the market place, Step 3 Grab as much fruit and food as possible, and finally Step 4 get back to the cave without any mares following. Back in my times of war, I was never trained for spy or Intel collecting missions since I was never in the army, All I know is that the important and sometimes most crucial thing to remember is to be silent and nimble.
Once Entering Ponyville, I hid in any brush of plantation I could find to hide and peeking out, Mares were almost everywhere with lustful looks and a blush on each muzzle. They wandered around talking to one another.
"Oh, I soo need a stallion right now!"
"I know right, but we`ll find one eventually."
I was scared at this point, I was mere feet away from the market area and it was infested with mares. I then popped an idea and grabbed a rock and threw it over into a the opposite direction. Like sharks to a dying seal, The mares ran off into the direction of the rock screaming with glee thinking a stallion had given away his position.
With the coast clear, I snuck into the market area with caution and began scavenging for food items like oranges, apples, carrots, and other produce until my sachel was full of food and slipped a few more into my pockets. As my raid ended, so did my cover as 3 mares located me and screamed with glee.
"Oh fuck!" I mentally thought as I immediately began running away.
"Get him!" A mare shouted as they all took off after me. Going as fast as my legs could carry me, The mares weren`t far behind and gaining on me, I immediately thought of a war scenario where you imagine the world around you as a battlefield, so I did just that and imagined that enemy dogs were after me and I was a POW that managed to escape an enemy prisoner camp.
With the image in my mind, I wasted no time by trying to jinx them somehow, then I did I began to scale up the sides of buildings and on a roof and ran across it. The mares then lost sight of me after not knowing where I went and crept out of Ponyville.
"Where is Torian, I sure hope he didn`t get captured." Thunderlane wondered.
"Please be patient, I`m sure he has to be careful around those mares." The Doctor said with confidence.
"I`m back from grocery shopping gentlecolts!" I hollered with triumph as I laid out food that will last us a few more days.
"My My, Quite the Haul Torian, good work." Big Mac complimented.
"Yeah dude, this is awesome!" Thunderlane held up an apple with hunger on his face.
"Im surprised you didnt get captured by those mares, I`m quite impressed." The Doctor implied.
"Well as long as you know what to do in a situation, You can accomplish anything." I smiled and we all chowed down and awaited for the Heat Season to come to an end so we can all go home. In all honesty, I enjoyed the quality bro time we had together like telling stories, playing cards, and joking around. It also insured our lasting friendship as gentlecolts and its always nice to have a few guy friends with you to survive a week of sex-crazed mares waiting to get their hooves on a stallion.

A Live look at America`s Origins Part 1
(4 Days Later, Torian`s POV)
With Heat Season over, Me and my guy friends were glad no mares ventured out for us and decided to make the cave we hid out in our "Heat Bunker" whenever Heat Season arose. After we arrived in Ponyville and the mares were back out of their hormonal rampage for a stallion, We disbanded and headed back to our daily lives.
I was heading home when my friends, Minuette, Lyra, Vinyl, and The Princesses arrived to greet me.
"Hey Torian, how have ya been?" Applejack asked first.
"Quite well, except I had to skip town due to your hormones." I answered. The mares, except Celestia and Luna blushed in embarrassment as I then asked. "So What can I do for you all?"
"Well, since the last time we visited your world during Pearl Harbor, I was quite fascinated by your countrys technology and I began to wonder how all the events you went through, to be specific, your countrys beginning." Celestia explained.
"And with your knowledge of your world, We are hoping you could explain it to us." Luna completed.
I pondered through this, From my lessons from school, I only know as far as the settling of Jamestown, where America began its journey to become a superpower, but that means theyll have to see The American Revolution, Civil War, and all the other gross or horrific events, but if they can see Pearl Harbor with it`s explosions and mass casualties, I guess there is no harm in explaining the American History.
"Alright, who`s ready for some American History?" I asked and the ponies beamed with excitement, especially Lyra, since she was the crazed anthropologist she is, I guess she wanting to see more humans.
Celestia and Luna then casted the time travel spell, which had the same effects where we can`t alter the past and we were all practically invisible and since I can lead the ponies to certain times in history, I was given a little watch, where I can type in a date and it will send us to that year and day. With that in check, we began our American Adventure.
(Jamestown, Virginia 1606)
As the spell was completed, we arrived in America`s first birthday. The ponies looked at the landscape and saw no planes, people, or buildings and were confused.
"Hey, where are we?" Vinyl asked.
"But, It does have quite the beautiful landscape." Luna added
"Welcome to America in the year of 1606, America`s first birthday." I emphasized and spread my arms around the landscape. The ponies were still confused.
"But where are the planes and ships?" Twilight asked.
"And the humans?" Lyra included.
"Well, during this time, there were no planes since we weren`t that advanced here, but ships and humans are here. Follow me." I lead the ponies to the first settlement of America, Jamestown.
The ponies looked on this settlement and saw some of the old-fashioned wooden sailing vessels.
"Where are the steamships with large weapons?" Rainbow wondered.
"Again, Not that advanced so no Battleships and no steam power here, besides Jamestown was America`s first permanent settlement and thus began the American culture."
"This settlement looks like how Canterlot started out." Celestia pointed out.
"And the clothes these humans wore simply looked ragged." Rarity chimed in.
"But it gets better in the jump from the 1600s to the 1700s." I added and I took everypony up into the sky and sped up time. They were amazed by the growing colonies in the western area, The larger colonies like Boston, New York, Philadelphia became cities, creation of ports and the creation of the 13 colonies where the New England colonies began lumber and whaling, The Southern colonies began farming with cotton, and the Middle colonies took up agriculture of crops.
(Boston, Massachusetts, 1770)
As the 1700s rolled in, We ended up in Boston where most of the events leading up to the American Revolution take place. The ponies looked on to see the city port, the folks that live here and the British Redcoats.
"What are these men in red coats? Are they like some form of military?" Celestia asked.
"Yes, but not for us, but Britain. They sent soldiers here since we aren`t our own country and we are a part of the British territory." I explained as a commotion erupted nearby.
"What`s going on over there?" Twilight ran and the rest of us came across one of the horrible acts in Boston; 'The Boston Massacre'.
Gunfire went off, men were shouting as a few tried to remove the dead away. I shook my head solemnly in shame.
"What type of guns are those if you don`t have the machine guns?" Rainbow asked curiously
"Those are muskets, a long rifle with balls of lead for ammo, here it would take a while to reload these guns, so lines of troops would fire, fall back, reload and fire again." I explained and then gave Rainbow a look. "Jeez Rainbow, do you like guns this much?"
"Yeah, the action and the thrill of shooting feels awesome like drinking 10 barrels of cider!" She elaborated.
"Sure it feels awesome to shoot a weapon, but the thought of taking a life for those who may have a family isn`t, Rainbow." I said with remorse and remembering all the Japanese airmen I killed during my time in the war just to avenge my fallen squad at Santa Cruz. Then I thought of great moments of American history and knew where to go.
"This was known as the Boston Massacre and is one of the few events that spark our Revolution and Freedom to become a nation." I said as we looked onto the street fight. "But, I believe I should show you something that will change our history." I then typed in a date and were all transported to another moment in time.
(Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, 1773)
In the dark of night we all looked on 3 British tea ships docked in the harbor and the ponies were confused.
"So where are we now?" Minuette asked.
"We are still in Boston, but 3 years later, we Americans pulled a great act of protest to the British`s unfair taxes, Look here they go."
We all saw the men running towards the ships with Indian disguises on and boarded the ships and one by one, crates filled with tea were being dumped into the harbor as a crowd cheered them on. We liked to call this; 'The Boston Tea Party'.
"What are they doing?" Lyra asked.
"Those men arent Indians, but are the Sons of Liberty, a group who believed in Americas freedom are throwing British tea overboard." The ponies looked on this act of protest and were impressed with the nations way of determination for freedom. "But, this didnt go quietly as the British got upset and closed off Boston Harbor where no ship can leave or enter. They even blocked us off from moving out west of the Appalachian Mountains until the tea lost was paid for." As I showed the British`s naval blockade and troops marching along the mountain ranges.
"Wow, They sure know how to bring a punishment." Applejack shook her head.
"Yes, but that was our last straw and did something that would change everything." I typed in a new date onto the watch and we all were teleported to a new city.
(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1776)
We all appeared in a room with many men who represent the 13 colonies and looked over at a large piece of paper with alot of writing and each were moving up to sign it.
"Welcome to the date that will change America of 1776, The birth of the Declaration of Independence."

Anyways this will only go as far as the beginning of WW2, so there won`t be the future moon landings, cell phones, laptops and all the other tech we have today.

A Live look at America`s Origins Part 2
The ponies looked on the signing of the document to become a free nation, It certainly made a change in history and Britain as a few days later, King George III got upset with the document and decided to teach the colonists a lesson by sending in his British military.
Meanwhile, we transported to Boston where we looked on the bell tower and a man with his horse waiting patiently.
"So what`s going on now?" Vinyl asked looking around.
"Right now we are waiting for a signal." I replied with confidence.
"What kind of signal?" Luna asked. Afterwards 2 candles lite up in the tower and the man got on his horse and rode into the town shouting "The British are coming, The British are coming!"
"Thats the signal, 1 if by land 2 if by sea." I replied as the 2 illuminated candles in the bell tower signaled the British armys arrival. I typed in a new date and went to a historical mystery that has baffled Americans in the future.
(Lexington, Massachusetts, 1775)
On a sunny day in Lexington of April,19, The ponies first saw the American militia, where volunteered colonists were trained, but not as effective as the British.
"Welcome to our first battle of our revolution, The Battle of Lexington."
"There won`t be too much violence, will there?" Fluttershy squeaked.
"No, there was a low casualty count here, but this was a famous battle due to it`s mystery we are about to see." I said as the ponies looked on the 2 armies on far sides of each other and stood there. The anticipation was probably killing everyone, when a loud shot was heard and like a chain reaction, the battle commenced.
"Who fired first?" Rainbow asked.
"That is the question we`ve all been asking since then, but with no witnesses to see who fired, it became known as 'The Shot Heard from Around the World'." I replied as a few militia men fell and from the British only one laid dead.
"Fall Back men, Fall Back!" A men shouted and the militia retreated to Concord with the British advancing. I teleported us all to Concord and a few hours in the future and the battle commenced with more British falling. The militia then were stunned at the British`s retreat of Concord and had defended the ammunition storage.
"This was our revolution`s first victory and more would come because we knew the land far better than they did." I said as I time skipped over a few major battles like the Siege of Boston, Bunker Hill, Saratoga, and to the finally Yorktown, where the British finally surrendered and the Americans became a free nation.
"Is the war over?" Twilight asked.
"Yes, after 8 years of relentless fighting, The British finally surrender and the United States was born and new things began to prosper as we form our own government; A democracy." I said time skipping to George Washington`s presidency.
"Who`s that?" Lyra asked pointing at our first president.
"That my dear is George Washington, Our country`s first president. He was a great leader to our First Continental Army in the war and was voted as President." I explained as George finished his vows and is the president.
Soon we time skipped into the future and began explaining about the Bill of Rights and our Constitution. The ponies seemed to have a grasp on the concept of what America was trying to achieve and as the 1800s rolled in, it was time to introduce 'Manifest Destiny'.
(Louisiana, 1803)
We warped into Louisiana where we met Napoleon and Thomas Jefferson about to make a sale.
"Is that the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence?" Minuette asked.
"Yes, Thomas Jefferson is currently our 3rd President here and he is buying Louisiana from France." I answered.
"So other countries own the U.S?" Celestia asked.
"Yes, France, Spain, and Mexico all had territories in the U.S out West and the 'Louisiana Purchase' will be out biggest stepping stone to the Pacific." I explained as the sale was completed with Napoleon having $3 Billion and Jefferson 828,000 square miles of land.
As time progressed, We continued our Westward expansion and the cities began to industrialize with a few inventions of trains, steamboats and new machines to help up production in businesses. Farmers settled in the lands and new states were created, But a certain moment in this time caught my attention, the origins of the farm I was raised in. My ancestors signing the deed to the area and beginning to build up the farm I knew.
"This really touched my heart here, seeing my ancestors and the farm." I wiped a tear from my eyes.
"It`s alright sugarcube, This was a good moment since you get to see your ancestors in pon er person." Applejack said with a genuine smile.
"Applejack is correct darling, This has been a marvelous experience." Rarity concluded.
"Thank you, now who`s ready for some great moments in history?" I asked as the ponies were eager to learn about the United States. After showing them the Transcontinental Railroad, the increase of industry and the inventions of electricity, telegraph, and telephone, I portrayed some other bad moments like the health issues in the meat and cities, the decreasing population of Buffalo, and the Trail of Tears.
After passing the Texas Revolution, we entered the Civil War between the Confederate and Union armies. The first battles like Fort Sumter and New Orleans were gruesome since weapons advanced with the interchangeable parts and deadlier ammunition. But things took a turn as the Battle of Gettysburg commenced and President Lincoln made his 'Gettysburg Address' which changed the lives of many people.
Lincoln also made the Emancipation Proclamation to free all the African American slaves in a few states. The ponies were glad to see Lincoln and saw how great of a president he was. Then 2 years later, The Battle of Petersburg marked the end of the Confederate Army and the end of the Civil War.
"It seems the war has come to an end." Luna said as was signing the terms of surrender.
"Correct and the beginning of Americas reconstruction, but not for Lincoln though." I said sadly as we time skipped ahead to Lincolns assassination. John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln`s assassin shot the president behind his left ear and leapt onto the stage and began his getaway leaving the ponies in shock.
"Why would someone do such a thing?" Lyra cried as tears formed.
"Yeah, what did Lincoln do to deserve that?" Minuette held onto me as I petted her head.
"I`m not sure, Lincoln was the first president to be killed while in office and after his death, his Vice President became President, but he still help the United States become whole again and our technological and westward advance continued until we reached the Pacific and more states became annexed or formed." I explained and time skipped into the future as the United States was now under American control.
Author's Note
Hey there ponies and bronies, Golden here and I hoped you enjoyed some more American History instead of just 1 topic that will take mulitple chapters to explain, so I decided to cut down to the more bigger topics like WW1, The Roaring 20s, and The Great Depression.
If there was something wrong in some point in history that I got wrong or changed, let me know in the comments and I`ll revise that because I want to make this as accurate as possible.
With that if you enjoyed Like, Comment, Favorite and Follow and til next time, I`ll see you all later.
End of the Past, Start of the Future
(Stock Market Exchange, New York City, 1929)
At the final age of American history after World War 1, We enter toward the Great Depression, where Americans are jobless, broke, and starving. It all starts at the Stock Exchange in New York when everything began to go downhill and many people made a mad dash to banks to try and reclaim their money.
"So this is how America`s depression began?" Celestia asked with sadness as I only nodded solemnly.
"And there was no way of getting the money back?" Lyra chimed in.
"Once the money in the bank was gone businesses closed, workers lost their jobs, homes were sold, and people begged for food." I replied as images of the depressed Americans flashed by to show the hardships of the depression.
As we entered the 1930s, America was in devastated further as the Great Dust Bowl came in and killed acres of crops from North Dakota to Texas, including my family`s farm.
"So what did America do for food?" Fluttershy asked sadly as the produced died off.
"Honestly, We had one more food option and that was meat since humans are omnivores and we could not resort to cannibalism, but we do what we had to do to survive." I lowered my head in shame as the ponies felt bad.
As the years progressed, Americas new President Franklin Delano Roosevelt began to take action to get America out of its depression by issuing 'The New Deal'.
"Now here, Franklin D. Roosevelt is issuing the New Deal to help the U.S out of the depression." I announced as the president signed the documents.
"What was the New Deal?" Vinyl popped out the question.
"And what results come out?" Applejack added.
"Well to answer both questions it went like this, The New Deal was suppose to define 'The 3 R`s.' Relief, Recover, and Reform. We bring the relief to workers and poor with work, Recover our economy, and Reform the financial system to prevent another depression." I explained and they seemed to catch on quickly since it was the simplest way to explain this.
"So after the New Deal was in effect, how quickly did it take for the U.S to recover?" Rarity asked.
"Well, by the start of the Second World War and when we enter is when we officially got out of our depression since the war efforts open up jobs." I replied as I gave them a look on how the depression helped set the stage for World War 2.
(Berlin, Germany, 1939)
"Welcome to Germany, where we will witness the Earth`s most powerful army of the 20th century." I emphasized the Nazis standing at attention to the powerful dictator and the most cold-blooded murderer in history, Adolf Hitler.
"So what does this place have to do with anything?" Lyra asked with a little fear.
"Our depression helped Hitler rise to power in order for him to begin World War 2 by invading neighboring countries like France, Poland, and bombing raids on England. This also allowed him to build up his Nazi party to become a powerful army." I replied as we looked on the army of German soldiers and saluting to their leader.
We then concluded our American history adventure and with a flash of light we were back in the sunny town of Ponyville and Equestria.
"It feels great to be back." Vinyl said in joy.
"I agree, I do miss my world, but this is my home here." I agreed as the princesses walked up to me.
"Thank you for sharing your history with us, it was quite fond of you to let us experience how your country began." Celestia said.
"No problem, I`d like to see how Equestria was founded some time too." I smiled and shook their hooves.
"Yes, we shall at some time, but now we must return to Canterlot for more royal duties to fulfil, we shall see you again soon." Luna replied as they both teleported to Canterlot. I turned around to see my friends smiling.
"So what will happen to the U.S now that the war was over?" Twilight looked up in curiosity.
I could only imagine what the world will become, Maybe a new organization will form to prevent another world war, New discoveries to better our lives, or even go above and beyond and try to make our way to the moon. The possibilities seemed endless, but to answer Twlight`s question, I simply replied.
"I`m not sure Twilight, but what I do know is that science and technology will probably lead the U.S and my world to a better future."
The ponies smiled at the response and I turned around to see 4 familiar faces; Discord, Big Mac, Doctor Whooves, and Thunderlane. My guy crew arrived and I had completely forgot that tonight was going to be Guys Night.
"Torian, you ready for Guys Night?" Thunderlane said with excitement.
"Yes, it would not be as much fun if you were not there." Discord implied as I smiled.
"Yeah dudes, just wait a moment and Ill join you in a minute." I told them as I turned my attention to the mares in front of me. "Alright I hope you all had an amazing time looking at American history, but I totally forgot about my plans for tonight and I have Guys Night planned."
"Don`t fret sugarcube, we understand that even stallions need alone time so just go on and have a nice time." Applejack said with an understanding tone.
"Yeah dude, go out, party, and I`ll see you at work tomorrow." Vinyl implied.
"I`ll wait for you back at your house." Minuette finished as I waved them good bye and went to begin our night of fun with my guy friends. Time ticked on by as the evening came around and the 5 of us were about to begin our Guys Night and we will do it right.
"Alright Gentlecolts, How shall we spend this night in the best guy-way possible?" I asked in a gentlemen like voice. The guys had the looks that told me they caught on to what I was thinking and the best way t kick off the night was... watching the Hoofball game and cheering on the Ponyville team.
I got into watching hoofball with Discord on our days we hang out since I`ve been in Equestria for almost 5 months and for one of the best entertainment is hoofball, the Wonderbolts, and the Equestria games. We all head over to the Ponyville bar, grabbed a drink, and watched the game, but before it began I wanted to make a toast.
"Friends, I want to make a toast not only for Guys Night, but for the best guy friendships I have ever had!" We all said 'cheers' and clashed our drinks and took our shot, but since Equestria did not have alcohol, I dont have to worry about being drunk. Even back on Earth I was not much of a drinker, but we watched the game and let the night take us on our awesome time.

(3 Days Later, Manehattan)
After receiving a letter from Princess Celestia about the HMS Warrior finally rebuilt and upgraded, I could not wait to gather my friends and hurry off to Manehattan to see the ship once more. The AC`s onboard were tested and were fully operational with no failures which caused the ship to sink last time, With some crew returning like Ocean Crest and Zeal Fury, I was glad to see they were willing to give the ship a second chance and I would love to captain her once more.
Once we arrived at the pier, The Princesses greeted us.
"It is good to see you all." Celestia started.
"Yes the vessel is ready to sail once more, but with more upgrades to assure ponies that it will not be another disaster." Luna fininshed as we all assured with smiles.
"So I assume that some crew from the previous voyage will make a return?" I asked.
"Yes, some of your officers and other surviving crew will be with you on this voyage, but instead of sailing to Gallopagos Islands, you will be heading to Haywaii, about 300 miles from the Equestrian mainland." Celestia explained then looked at the ponies. "As for the rest of you, you will all be able to enter crew related areas in case of emergencies." They smiled and nodded in agreement.
"So what time do we leave?" Twilight asked.
"Soon, I`d recommend you head aboard." Luna answered.
We all headed aboard and this time, Im going to take better precautions to avoid another tragedy like double checking systems to be sure of no malfunctions. As the ships whistles blow and the anchor`s raised, the Warrior begins to slowly depart from Manehattan as a large crowd of ponies wave off the ship.
Once we left the shallow waters near the shore, I ordered the ship to increase speed up to 21 knots and regular system checks around the ship. After an hour, one of my surviving officers, Ocean Crest came in and spoke.
"Sir, All systems are in order, no known malfunctions."
"Good work, Take control while I prepare for dinner." I said as I walked to my quarters, which had a major restoration with new carpeting and furniture. I dressed in my Captain`s uniform which was navy blue with gold buttons and black dress shoes.
Once I was ready, I headed into the ships Grand Staircase which looked as marvelous as before and some ponies walked upon it with their own little conversations. I was quite impressed with the Warriors new interior and that it looked as if she had never sank in the first place.
I entered the dining room and saw all my friends at a table and sat among them.
"How is everypony this evening?" I asked politely.
"Quite fine darling, the ship`s designers outdid themselves with the restoration." Rarity replied.
"It is lovely like it always has." Fluttershy squeaked out.
"Well I`m glad you all are enjoying this, now lets eat shall we." I inquired as our waiter came to us.
"What shall we be having this fine evening." He asked with a French accent.
We ordered our food and drinks and we spent the whole evening laughing and joking about, especially Pinkie Pie til our food arrived and we dined in on the delicious cuisine. As dinner drew to a close, my friends went to bed and as the sun was setting over the horizon, I went out onto the ship`s prow, where the water looks to be sliced by the ship, I pondered my mind of the thoughts from the previous voyage.
"I wont be as blind as last time, One failure lead to a destructive end, but I wont let that happen. What would have happened if I saw this too late? Everypony would have been killed under my watch and I would have been executed or thrown in the dungeon for a long time, but this time I will take precautions and I will let the Warrior have her first successful voyage."
As my thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice that always seem to calm me down, Minuette.
"Hey Torian, mind if I join you?"
"I turned around and smiled. "Of course, come."
She walks over to my side and we both look over the Equestrian sea with a sunset that made feel as if you were in paradise.
"So any reason why your out here?" She asks to kick off a conversation.
"I came out here to think about the previous voyage, but I wonder if I am making the right decisions on being too careful, last time the AC failures caught me and everypony else off guard and I could have lost you or all of our friends. I just dont want to go through something like that again because I cant imagine a life without you in it and maybe, just maybe we can find an immortality spell for us to be together for a long time." I was concerned about my altered life span when Luna gave me some of her blood to save me and how I`ll be able to live for another 3,000 years. I wanted to spend my life with Minuette since she was the dentist I fell in love with.
"That`s very sweet of you to say and I would love for us being together." She said as we leaned in for a kiss.
Afterwards I wanted to do this what my Great Grandfather did when he and my Great Grandmother were together on the HMHS Britannic before she sank, I told Minuette to close her eyes and step on the ships railing standing on her hind hooves while I supported her to ensure she doesnt fall. Then I guided her fore hooves to stretch out and open her eyes and like a movie that will probably get millions of viewers in the future it looked as if she were soaring over the ocean.
Once the moment seemed endless, we leaned in for an even more passion-filled kiss that felt like fireworks on the 4th of July, we simply melted into it and shared the moment as the Warrior continues to steam towards Haywaii of Honlulu.

Commence Rescue Operations!
(Torian`s POV)
After the sun set over the ocean and the stars and moon was full providing a beautiful night, Me and Minuette departed from each other a few hours ago and went to our separate rooms for the night ahead. As I was about to slip out of my Captains uniform for it was the end of my shift, I heard a knocking at my quarters door.
"Come in." I said as the door open to reveal my First Officer. " Sir, Wireless Operators have picked up an urgent SOS message from the Trotterdam 5 miles East of us." He informed as I got the sense of fear inside me as I put on my hat and replied. "Prepare the engines and helmspony for change of course." I ordered in a commanding tone as he saluted and headed for the Bridge.
As the Warrior steamed toward Haywaii in the brisk night, I looked to see a light in the distance and it was bright to see it, but looking through my binoculars, It was worse than I could`ve imagined; The Trotterdam was ablaze from the stern and seemed to be sinking. I immediately took action and did not wish to leave any surviving pony out there.
"Alright, Helmspony, take us 45 degrees to starboard, Ocean Crest and Lake Zest, Get the mail nets, blankets, and some warm refreshments ready. And Chief Officer, Make sure we have some room to raise any boats that may have been launched." With all the officers assigned their duties, they saluted as the Helmspony changed our course as I looked the sinking Trotterdam. Then a violent explosion ruptured on the burning ship with a loud bang that could be heard from where we were.
As we came close, I blew the ship`s whistles to assure the survivors rescue had arrived and slowed the engines down. The lifeboats rowed toward the mail door and climbed up the ladder or cargo net. But I felt there are more survivors out there and wanting to help, I then ordered my 3 best officers to come with me for a rescue operation to save anyone that are still in the water.
After hopping in the boat, the four of us began rowing back to the disaster area and searched for survivors in the water. Ocean Crest used his horn as a light to see the survivors clearly. But it was quiet with a few screams in the distance and as we rowed to where the ship foundered, mass bodies of ponies littered the area with a few deck chairs and other debris used as make-shift float devices. Majority suffered from Hypothermia and froze to death in the sea others were badly burned by the fire and/or explosion.
"Hello! Can anypony hear me?" I called out and then saw a stallion on a wooden door with a few stands of ice in his mane and looking rather cold. "H-Help, pleeeeeassseeee." He said shivering almost violently.
"Come on bring him in and wrap him in blankets. Keep him warm." I said as the officers helped to pull in the stallion and tried to keep him warm. We continued our search efforts for an hour when the sun began to rise over the horizon, We collected another 20 ponies who clung onto bare life and rowed back to the Warrior.
After getting the survivors on deck and the lifeboats on deck, I gave the order to activate the engines once more toward Haywaii. Then my Chief Officer came by with a clipboard. "Captain, From the passengers and crew of he Trotterdam, We have rescued 675 ponies of the 1,200 aboard before the sinking." My heart dropped to hear that a little over half the ponies aboard were killed.
"Thank You for the report." I replied solemnly as the Warrior sped at 20 knots toward Haywaii. The Trotterdam survivors aboard huddled together on the Forecastle deck wrapped in blankets and sipping their hot chocolate to warm themselves up. I felt as if I had to send a message to the Princesses of the incident and walked toward the Wireless Operator room.
"Harold, I need a message ASAP!" I said as Harold got on the line waiting for what to send. "Dear Princesses Celetia and Luna, I regret to inform of an incident involving the Trotterdam having to be sunk by an explosion. The Warrior was able to respond and rescue survivors, but only a little more than half the people aboard the ship. Please meet me in Haywaii if you can. Sincerely Captain Torian Scotterian"
After the message was sent, I thanked Harold and left back to the Bridge to check upon the crew. I did have sorrow to families who will be forever altered and I wished I could have done more.

A Road to Recovery and an Extended Life (Revised)
(Torian`s POV)
Like finally seeing the light at the end of a very dark tunnel, I began to regain consciousness and awake from my coma-like slumber. I had a hard time trying to open my eyes and even if I held them open for about 5 seconds, my vision was blurred and still needed time to readjust. The first sound I heard was the constant beeping of what sounded like a heart monitor youll see at a hospital and when I was finally able to keep my eyes open and vision cleared, it was official that Im in a hospital.
"Oh man, what happened to me and how long was I out?" I asked myself in thought as I looked around the room and outside the window was starry moon lite night.
Then I noticed that laying asleep in a chair to my right was Minuette, the mare I protected from the timber wolf attack. She seemed really peaceful when she was asleep, but even if I had just awoken, I had to go back to sleep, but not without looking at my battle wounds the timber wolves inflicted on me.
I slowly pushed the sheets out and saw 3 large marks that streak across my stomach and it seemed as if I had probably lost alot of blood. With little time to ask questions to the medical team, nor was there anypony, except a sleeping Minuette I went back and drifted off to sleep.
Waking up once again, only to hear as if on cue the door opening and to reveal a white mare with pink hair and a red cross cutie mark.
"Oh, well hello, I didnt know youd wake up." She said a little nervous and surprised.
"Well, I actually woke up last night, but who are you and how long was I out?" I asked.
"You`ve been out for almost 3 days and you had wounds across your stomach and back, your back wounds healed nicely yesterday, but your stomach wounds were more severe and lost almost 3 pints of blood." Nurse Redheart explained. I was in pure shock to know I lost so much blood from the timber wolf fight. Then she continued. "You were actually luck we found a match for your blood type." A wave of relief swept over me to know I would live to see another day.
"Who was it?" I asked.
"I think your visitors might answer that for you." Redheart said before opening the door to reveal all my Ponyville friends and the Princesses. They all came to me with happy expressions on their faces as Princess Luna began.
"It was I who was your blood match and I`m glad to see you are awake."
"Thank you, Luna, I-I dont know what to say." I said in amazement to know my blood matches Lunas.
"But at a price for my very blood that runs through your veins, it has also altered you lifespan." Luna continued but with her smile shrinking.
"What do you mean?" I asked completely dumbfounded.
"I agree, what do you mean, Princess?" Twilight looked up to Luna.
"It means you will live longer then you were originally meant to, since me and my sister are natural born alicorns, we can live for thousands years. But unless slain by any other outside means, you will live to see your 3,000 birthday." Celestia explained as I was flabbergasted to know that humans could never live that long, but I could be the first human in history to live at 3,021 years.
"Lets not bring up this subject again, I prefer to not dwell on this because I dont know what to think" I said with a sigh, I honestly thought that Ill see my friends until the had passed on but leaving me, Celestia, and Luna. But I was cut short of my thoughts when my friends agreed.
"It must be for the best." Fluttershy spoke.
"But we will always have the memories and Im sure youll remember us." Pinkie smiled.
"Each day you and I are together, I`ll treasure them like high school photos." Minuette chimed in.
I was touched by their kindness and I absolutely wanted to give them a hug of all hugs. So I turned to Nurse Redheart.
"May I try to see if I can stand?" I asked Nurse Redheart, who gave a nod as I began to climb out of the hospital bed.
With my foot touching the cool, tiled floor, I tried to stand by slowly moving into a standing position with Rainbow and Fluttershy as my support. Finally I rose to my full height and let the 2 pegasi let me loose so I could stand on my own. Then I immediately could support myself begin trying to walk and almost like a baby walking for the first time, I had a little trouble until I was able to finally walk like normal.
"That is alot better than being in a bed for 3 days." I said as I stretched out to loosen up my stiff bones and to avoid injuring myself.
"It is nice to see you happy again, sugarcube." Applejack added.
"I, did fix your outfit you were wearing when you fought those beasts and are waiting at your front door, darling." Rarity informed me.
"Thank you, to all of you, I never had friends as caring as you are, except Jerry." I said with some tears in my eyes as we all went for a big embrace. Then they had to leave as I had to change out of the hospital robe except Minuette who I had called for.
"What is it that you needed me fo-." I cut her off with a simple, passionate kiss on her lips which made her flare up faster than a firecracker. I felt her returning the same emotions which made the kiss ever so special. But all good things come to an end as I broke the kiss to say.
"I was touched with what you said on that picnic and I would be more than happy to be your marefriend." I couldn`t explain to how happy she was to hear that and we went for another kiss even more passionate than the last. I now gave my love to the blue unicorn and as any gentleman would do, I was willing to do whatever it takes to make this unicorn the happiest in all of Equestria.
Author's Note
Hey Guys Golden here and I just want to let you know that I honestly didn`t know how to portray how someone would take to live for about 3,000 years, Some might be so glad, but others may think oppositely to see all their friends and family pass on while you continue. So I want to apologize on that. Hope you enjoyed and see you all next time.
The Battle for Manehattan
(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.
"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.

And there we have it a war prevented and a another had finally ceased, while the Pacific rages on. Im sorry if there was little dialogue because I have other projects to work on and I really want to do these longer. As always, be sure to drop a comment, like, favorite, and all that other fun stuff and Ill see you all next time.
(Torian`s POV)
Coming down the stairs in my naval uniform to get the day started and cook me up some breakfast, but as I looked in the pantries, there wasnt much food left and I need to go out and get some, but the problem was that I didnt have any bits to go and buy some, so it was high time for me to get a job.
"Maybe the newspaper will have something." I pondered to myself as I opened the front door, grabbed the paper and scanned through the 'Help Wanted' ads. I`ve never had a job in my life, unless you consider the military a job, but a type of job you get paid for. Some ads wanted help in Agriculture, Weather Patrol, Mail Deliveries, and even designers in fashion.
None of the jobs on the paper suited me nor did I have any experience with, Until an idea flew into my brain.
"I could just wander around town and see if there are any openings." With this in mind, I began my search for employment.
After almost 30 minutes of walking around Ponyville, I had no luck as to some businesses needing waiters or salesponies. I almost gave up hope when I came upon a shop needing an extra hoof so I decided why not.
Coming into the shop, it was filled with instruments I had never seen before and they were nothing like the trumpets, saxophones, pianos, or trombones I had seen in clubs. Then a white unicorn mare, with a static electric blue spiked mane and tail, purple sunglasses and an eighth note cutie mark.
"Hey there, welcome to Vinyls Music Shop, Im Vinyl Scratch, how can I help you?" She seemed quite polite and I was interested in the music business.
"Hi there Vinyl, Im Torian and Ive noticed that your hiring and I wanted to know what position it is?" I asked as she smiled.
"Oh the position is that I need a talented musician to party and rock out with me during shows and at the store, also the pay is great."
With this information I knew the job was perfect for me but with one slight problem, I left my instrument back home on my world. It was a sitar my Dad got when he lived in India and played when we felt down before he left for the Gold Rush during the Depression. He taught me how to play and soon I was able to play like he did, but after his death, I held onto it as a reminder of him before I left for the Military. The sitar is still in a locker in my old quarters during my early years in the Air Force at Pearl Harbor.
"Vinyl Id be more than happy to work with you but I dont have my instrument with me nor is it in Equestria." I said with a little disappointment then she gave me a confused look.
"What instrument is it, I think I may have another here." Vinyl asked eager to help.
"It is a sitar." I replied as she began looking around the store to see if she had one. Soon enough she returned empty-hoofed.
"Sorry man." She said sadly but I gave her a reassuring smile.
"It`s alright."
Then I had an idea and smiled for a moment before looking at Vinyl once more.
"Vinyl, Ill be back for the job." I said as I left the store and ran over to Twilights while Vinyl stood there and waved.
Once at the Golden Oaks Library, I knocked on the door and waited patiently until Spike answered.
"Hey Torian, how are ya?" Spike greeted.
"Quite fine, Is Twilight here I need to ask her something?" I asked the dragon.
"Oh yeah, come on in, I`ll get her for you." Spike said as I came inside the Library and Spike called for Twilight. "Twilight, Torian wants to speak with you!"
Then the sound of hoof steps came down the stairs as Twilight smiled to see me.
"Hey Torian, nice to see you." Twilight said
"Nice to see you too, but I need to ask you a favor." I said as Twilight continued to smile.
"Sure what is it?"
"I need you to open a portal to my world again." Twilight was quite shocked at this and asked.
"Why do you need to return?"
"Because I forgot something that meant alot to me and I kinda need it to get a job at a music shop." I explained as Twilight thought for a moment.
"Alright, But I`m coming with you so I can see your world and get some great research for the princesses about human technology." Twilight beamed as she grabbed a notebook and quill.
"Ready to go?" I asked.
"Ready."
With that, Twilight activated her horn and used as much magic and strength she could muster and the portal began to form until I saw what seemed to be Battleship Row. Once Twilight had ended the spell she gave me some valid information.
"Now, the Portal will close in 30 minutes max once we step through it, In your world no one but us will see it or go through it." With this in mind we stepped through the portal to go back to Pearl Harbor.
(Pearl Harbor Oahu, Hawaii)
Once we stepped out of the portal, we saw Battleship Row as it was befor-Oh no... This is before December,7th and I could see the Arizona, Nevada, West Virginia, California, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Maryland moored in the same spots during the attack. During Pearl Harbor, I was an Air force cadet and was assigned to maintenance on aircraft by repairing damaged aircraft until September of 1942 when I was reassigned for duty aboard Enterprise.
"Torian, what happened to me?" Twilight asked as I looked at her, she was a human as her skin was the same as her coat in Equestria, but she was wearing tan-brownish type of work clothes like the women would wear in a factory.
"Dont flip out Twilight, your just a human like me." I said to her calmly as she examined her body as I hoped I wouldnt run into my past self otherwise there would be some time paradox thing going down.
"Come on Twilight we need to hurry before 8:00 am." I said as we ran toward the Air Force Recruit Quarters on Ford Island. Suddenly, a loud explosion erupts at a nearby hanger that had 2 P-40s inside. It was too late, The Attack on Pearl Harbor had begun as Zeros, Vals, and Kates flew around and the sirens wailed that we were under attack.

(1 Week Later, Torian`s POV)
After a week of training with my restored obsidian sword, which has the durability of Bronze and the anti-decay particles of Gold. Out in town something eventful happened. Twilight told me that before I came to Equestria, she and her friends faced an enemy more devious than King Sombra. It was Discord the draconequss, A chaotic spirit of chaos with a head of a goat, a right goat antler, a left deer antler, right lion paw, left eagle claw, long brown slender body, mis-matched wings like mine, left goat leg, right dragon foot and a red snake tail. Twilight told me that he ruled over Equestria for 1,000 years in a state of chaos until Princesses Celestia and Luna turned him into stone with the Elements of Harmony.
But after they lost connection with the Elements, the spell that kept him contained was broken and Discord became free. He began to take over Equestria by hiding the Elements and trying to break Twilights friendship with her friends. In the end, Their friendship was not easy to break and Discord was defeated again and turned back to stone.
Now recently, Princess Celestia told Twilight that she had plans for the use of Discord`s magic if he were to be reformed, but to do so, Twilight needed to release him from his stone prison. After seeing how friendship was to him, Discord reformed and said he were to use magic for good... most of the time.
I was walking through town, thinking about how am I going to defeat my brother when we do confront one another, I was surfing through many ideas then in a bright flash, the reformed draconequss Discord appeared.
"Hello Torian, glad we finally meet."
"Likewise." I said a bit uneasy.
"Oh dont worry, I dont plan on making an chaos until Wednesday." Then a calendar appeared in his lion paw. "For it shall be chocolate rain on the weather forecast." Discord pulls up a Weather chart with different weathers of the week, including a cotton candy cloud raining chocolate milk on Wednesday.
"I`d like to stay and chat Discord, but I need to think on what to do when I meet my brother and Sombra." I said walking past him only to be stopped again.
"Wait, did you say... Sombra, As is King Sombra?" Discord asked and shape-shifted into the Shadow King.
"Yeah, why you know him?" I asked.
Discord transformed back into his original form. "I didn`t just know him, I thought he was my friend 1,000 years ago when we plotted our take overs in Equestria, He wanted the Crystal Empire an I wanted the rest of the nation, but then Sombra began wanting to expand his rule and exentually said he wanted Equestria all to himself , but I stood my ground until I was defeated by Sunbutt and Lulu." Discord explained as I suppressed a laugh from the hilarious nicknames of the Princesses.
"So Sombra truly is a power-hungry tyrant who just can`t wait to take over?" I said with a sigh.
"I agree and I do have some advice you may consider to take." Discord replied as he placed his talons on my shoulder. "Sometimes you got to know when to let it go whether you like it or not one decision is better than none."
I processed the thought and nodded. "I`ll take it into consideration."
Discord smiled. "Excellent, now I do believe that those wings suite you well and we should hang out more."
"I guess we should. Your not as bad as they say you are." I replied as Discord hovered a foot off the ground.
" Thank you, Now I must be off, I have some fun to get to back in Canterlot and it includes filling the royal pool with cream custard, I`ll see you later, my dear boy." and with that the Draconequss disappeared.
But if I were to face a decision, how will I know whether I make the right choice, but I was once again snapped back into reality when I hear Minuette calling me. This is my chance to give her the hoof-stitched necklace from the Gallopagos.
"Hey Torian." Minuette calls as she trots up to me.
"Oh hey." I said with a smile as she came up to me.
"So what are you doing?" she asks
"Nothing much, I was just thinking and I also wanted to give something after we left the Gallopagos." I said with confidence and held out the hoof stitched necklace with her cutie mark.
She simply gasped at it as I put in on her neck and without a warning I was pulled into a passionate kiss and embrace from the Dentist unicorn. I returned the kiss and embrace sometime later before we broke apart and I could see her bright red blushing face inches from mine.
"Thank you so very much, no pony has ever done this for me and has never given me so much happiness like you do." She said while looking at her new necklace. I felt happy to know she liked it, yet very surprised it survived the sinking of the Warrior, but hey I aint going to question this worlds logic.
"Your very welcome and I just like to make you happy." I replied with modesty.
"Don`t be modest, I know how much you love me and I can say the same of how much I love you." Minuette said as I wrapped my bat wing around the base of her neck.
"Your right and I love you very much." I said with happiness and we both began to walk through Ponyville, but we never knew that Discord was behind a cloud and saw the whole thing.
"That was a good decision, but there is a more serious decision that is inevitable for you Torian." Discord said as if he knew what was going to happen and disappeared to Celestia knows where.

A Live look at America`s Origins Part 3
(Detroit, Michigan, 1908)
After explaining the Reconstruction Era and entering the 20th century, We looked at the advancing technological machines that seem to become a huge hit for business, in this case a very well-known car.
"What is this place?" Minuette asked looking at the car parts and workers.
"And who is that?" Lyra pointed at the man who would make history; Henry Ford.
"That is Henry Ford and this is one of his companys many assembly factories in the U.S." I answered and then pointed over at the production line. "Now here, Ford is going to make a small but effective change where the products come to the workers known as an assembly line. Although he didnt invent it, but he did perfect it and in a few years, he will have made over 15 million Model Ts." I explained.
"He made that many, they must have been quite popular." Luna pointed out and she was correct actually.
"Yes, because of the car`s price, because no matter what class you were in America, Henry made these cars affordable to all." I then entered the watch for another date and we teleported to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In a field, the fathers of flight themselves, Wilbur and Orville Wright.
"what is that thing?" Vinyl asked.
"That is the Wright Brother`s aircraft, the first aircraft to be correct." I answered as Wilbur took off and flew over the North Carolinian field.
"So, after this plane, everyone wanted one like it?" Celestia pondered.
"Not exactly, it took some more encouragement for planes to become popular and I know who can show us." I then typed in a new date and we all went to New York on an airstrip to see Charles Lindbergh and his planes 'The Spirit of St. Louise'.
"This man here is going to make history as he will become the first man to fly across the Atlantic Ocean by himself." I explained as Charles started up his plane.
"So how long does it take him?" Rarity asked.
"It took him about 33 and a half hours which was a day and a couple hours." I answered as the ponies were stunned at that record but Rainbow wasn`t impressed.
"Please, I bet I could fly over an ocean in 10 seconds flat."
"You sure about that, because there are icy cold winds that can blow at almost 10 miles an hour, storms you may encounter, and other rough elements." I cautioned her, she seemed to have taken them into consideration and didn`t say anything, so I decided to time skip some more and we entered the age of the 1st World War.
(Austria-Hungary, 1914)
As we arrived, there was a castle surrounded by citizens awaiting to see their prince and princess arrive through the doors. The ponies felt saw the celebration and were delighted by this.
"So where are we?" Lyra asked.
"We are not in America for once, but in a European nation called Austria-Hungary, where we are about to witness one of the most darkest acts in history." I said as we all looked at the Duke and Dutchess and awaiting the event to kick off the chain reaction.
"Who is that, a prince?" Twilight questioned with a smile.
"That man is Archduke Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, but at any moment something will happen." I said with remorse as the shrilling sound of 2 gunshots were fired and screams filled the air. I looked at the ponies and I could see the sadness in their eyes. "This is the act of war from Serbia and with it, Austria-Hungary declared war on them. With the alliance treaty in effect, multiple countries helped out their allies and becomes the First World War." I said as I began to transport us all to the U.S, where President Woodrow Wilson made a clear statement on what the U.S will do while Europe is at war.
"So does the U.S help out in the war?" Luna asked.
" Yes and no, because we didn`t want anything to do with war, but we had to help England and France because of our alliance." I answered as I sped up and over the 2 years Germany began to use submarine warfare, England started a blockade, and Trench warfare began in France.
(Atlantic Ocean, Off the Irish Coast, May,7,1917)
"So why are we over an ocean?" Vinyl asked looking around.
"Here is where one of the biggest acts of war occurs and brings the U.S closer to entering the war just look over there." I pointed over to a ship with 4 black funnels and steaming toward Ireland. "That is the Cunard liner, RMS Lusitania."
"So what does this ship have to do with-" I cut Luna off before she could ask.
"Just watch and do you see the submarine over there?" I pointed over at the U-Boat. "That is a German U-Boat."
The U-Boat then launches a torpedo at the ship and within a few anxious minutes, A large explosion erupts on the ship as the ponies saw many men women and children desperately try to get the lifeboats lowered and launched. But as each minute passes, the ship lists more and the bow gets submerged as 15 minutes pass and the ship slips beneath the waves dragging more than 1,997 passengers, including 100 children and 128 Americans.
"It only took 15 minutes for a large liner to sink?" Twilight asked in pure horror.
"Im afraid so, but the explosion was caused by the ammunition the Lusitania was secretly carrying in hopes to help the allies. After President Wilson heard about this, He threatened to enter the war if Germany did not stop sinking oceans liners without a warning or offering assistance to the survivors." I explained but they were still sad to see all the people in the water struggling to survive. I decided to show them another push to Americas entry in the war.
In the U.S communication center where all telegraphs were sent or received from across the globe. One message would enrage Americans and thrust us closer to war.
"So what`s going on in this place?" Rarity asked looking around the room.
"Here is another event that enraged Americans we like to call 'The Zimmerman Telegraph'." I pick up the look at the telegram and read it aloud.
"We intend to begin on the first of February unrestricted submarine warfare. We shall endeavor in spite to keep the United States of America neutral. In the event of this not succeeding, we make Mexico a proposal of alliance on the following basis: make war together, make peace together, generous financial support and an understanding of our part that Mexico is to reconquer the lost territory of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. The settlement in detail is left to you. You will inform the President of above most secretly as soon as the outbreak of war with the United States of America is certain and to add the suggestion that he should, on his own initiative, invade Japan to immediate adherence and at the same time mediate Japan between ourselves. Please call the President`s attention to the fact that ruthless employment of our submarines now offers the prospect of compelling England in a few months to make peace."
"So Germany was trying to make an alliance to Mexico to regain loss territory if Mexico helped them?" Vinyl tried to summarize.
"Exactly, but Mexico declined and this only made the neutral nation want to be in the war, but one more event pushed us over." I said as we then teleported to the Atlantic in time for another infamous attack, The French ferry SS Sussex.
"That ferry will be the last set of cards to cause the house to come crashing down." I emphasized as the ponies looked on the ferry and saw a torpedo heading for the ship. In a violent explosion, the ship`s bow was ripped apart in the blast and some lifeboats were destroyed. Passengers and crew tried to launch the boats, but some capsized and people drowned.
The ship`s stern remained afloat and was towed away stern first to port. The ponies seemed upset that Germany would attack an innocent ferry even I was mad at them for causing such strife to the families that may have lost a relative.
"Out of the 53 crew and 325 passengers aboard, about 50 or more were killed and after that Wilson asked Congress to declare war on Germany." I said as we then began talking about the invention of tanks to break the trench warfare stalemate and the wars end with Germany paying the damages of World War 1, limiting its army, and taking away some of their land to make Poland.
