A New Life

Back in the normal world, an attack was being launched onto Canterlot by the mercenaries who are firing their stun weapons at the ponies that are running away from them. The ponies that they do stun end up collapsing and getting wrapped around in rope then left there on the spot. This small army or mercenaries using all sorts of formations and marching in lines  so a line behind one line that gets knocked back / stunned temporarily can replace that line with more men.

It ends up overwhelming Luna and Celestia's guards as most of their magic attacks are just deflected back at them and either knock them back unconscious or they get stunned unconscious by a mercenary's fire-arm and get tied up themselves.

Garlond himself however was watching from a distance through a window inside one of the tallest buildings in Canterlot giving a smirk to himself behind that helmet of his as he watches the plan of his own unfold.

"Ah this plan is going just perfectly, could anything ruin such a glorious day such at this?" he asked himself, only to hear a crash from another window behind him as a mercenary of his is thrown into the building by a pegasus guard, not even looking behind himself, he aims with a stun pistol and knocks that guard out as he comes rushing in.

Then a door is kicked in where another mercenary shouts towards Garlond they've pushed the royal guard back to Celestia's throne room where they report Luna and Cadence are standing guard to protect other ponies which just makes Garlond smirk, agreeing to meet his soldier's there he starts to load a lethal pistol with the full intent on killing those three princesses with just one clip if possible. After that pistol was loaded he takes his leave of the building with a massive smirk to himself, knowing that if a certain group of ponies doesn't interfere soon, chances of him winning with all that magical resistance technology was very high.

As he walked through the streets of canterlot he looked down at the unconscious bodies of sleeping ponies making him laugh maniacally as he just walks through the streets towards the castle.

Back in the dimension where Twilight and Xavier are at, their backs are still turned to one another, both of them being furious at one another yet as time slowly passed he began to feel guilty about what he's done over this short amount of time in this world. He felt like he had a better understanding of friendship yet drastically needs to improve on it due to how he kept snapping at the ponies, finally one last time he lets himself cry then and there. Due too no other sounds in the room Twilight was able to hear it easily, this made her curious to say the least.

Thinking long and hard to herself as Xavier began to cry she decided to give him one last shot at friendship, slowly standing up she trots over to him curious as too why he was crying.

Reaching forward with a fore-hoof of her's she places it on Xavier's right shoulder and slowly, very slowly start to move forward more to sit next too him and in one soft voice she decided to ask.

"Xavier, is something troubling you?" she questioned, although she didn't really want to ask him she had a strong feeling she should ask.

"Twilight, I don't know why I'm crying if that's what you're asking" he replied.

"That's not what I'm asking I am asking what is troubling you" replied Twilight.

Xavier looked towards Twilight slowly after regaining his composure where he began to wipe away a few tears he turned his whole body towards her body, feeling that if he's going to be stuck here forever he might as well come clean with Twilight here and now.

"Well I suppose I could share it with you, I've spent such little time in this world and yet here I am crying, feeling happier than I've ever felt before except for that one time where my son Jacob was born. And even though I showed you and your friends just a...rude, rude side of me I guess it's just lonely trying to fit in with everyone else, y'know?" asked Xavier.

Twilight blinked, this was a feeling she had just like when she first came to Ponyville, trying to fit in even though she was way more focused on her books at the time so an idea hit her like a sack of bricks, her furious emotions towards him having left it was like dealing with herself all over again, except this version of herself was just a lot more aggressive and has less interest in friendship than she did.

Clearing her throat she starts speaking in a calm tone of her's.

"I do know what it feels like trying to fit in, but you know I learned a valuable lesson about that, you shouldn't try too fit in with a group of ponies, or in your case group of humans. You should always be yourself, and if someone disagrees with who you are, well that's their problem not yours. You shouldn't try to be someone you're not, Xavier look I've known you for only a couple of days but I can tell right here and now you're not a bad pony, er bad human. You've just never had a friend so you don't know how to be a friend. Am I right?" asked Twilight.

Xavier was never asked that question in his life but Twilight was right mostly about never having a friend, Trish and his son Jacob were his only friends and family and when he lost them he felt lost, truly lost. Yet here he was being offered friendship and happiness by Luna, and now he was offered it by Twilight and her friends.

With a single hard focusing thought, the room around them turned white before a actual idea or rather a hopeful memory appears around them and there he was standing with Twilight and her group with a massive grin on his face.

Xavier felt confused, lost but not in the negative way he was just curious how this happened, and upon looking at the hopeful memory of his he starts to smile and laugh a bit at the hopeful memory like a mad-man which starts to get Twilight to look at him confused now but then realizes what he's laughing at.

"It's not too late for you Xavier, you can accept friendship here and now and star your life all over again. Or you can be alone forever, what will it be?" asked Twilight.

Xavier's laughing stopped as Twilight spoke, her offer was still there? Is what he thought to himself he decided to make things dramatic by not responding for a good five minutes which was starting to make Twilight feel like giving up again this time for certain and as she began to actually walk away she hear's the most unexpected thing from Xavier, a happy tone as he said these words towards her...

"Sounds like a plan to me, say sugar cube corner...five pm next week?" he questioned with a smirk.

Twilight let out a frustrated groan, storming over towards Xavier she hoofs him right in the arm lightly, which was Xavier's interpretation of a punch by human standards, thing is when she actually hits him in the arm it actually hurts quite badly that makes him wince, where his left arm reaches over and rubs the spot where Twilight 'punched' him.

He glared up at Twilight for a few seconds only to spot her giggling, which starts to make him laugh himself and so the two embrace in their first hug together where Xavier was about to whisper a few words but then something happens. Pinkie Pie stretches open the dimension and pulls them both out while their still hugging.

Twilight and Xavier tumbling around on the ground once they get yanked out so strongly like that, Xavier and Twilight's eyes spinning around in circles.

"Pinkie pie! Never have I been so glad for you breaking the 4th wall" responded Xavier.

"Canterlot! Danger! Weapons! Attack!" exclaimed Spike.

Twilight quickly shoke off her daze when she heard danger involved which happened about the same-time as Xavier having shaken off the daze himself to read the scroll with Twilight regarding that Canterlot was under attack and they need their help with fighting this mysterious army and how their magic is barely doing anything to them.

Twilight focuses on her magic around herself and her friends, yet is interrupted when Xavier grabs her horn to prevent her from casting the teleportation magic.

Rainbow Dash noticing this immediately she is about to punch Xavier herself assuming that he's trying to stop them but what he says throws every-pony except Twilight off guard with their conversation earlier.

"Let me come with you and help you rescue your friends, I want to make it up to all of you for how I was these past two days" responded the tall 6'2 human.

"Did something hit ya'll on your head?" asked AJ

"Actually I think him and Twilight made-up in that spooky....scary...dimension" replied Fluttershy.

"That's exactly what happened Fluttershy, how did you know?" asked the lavender mare.

"I uh...I didn't Pinkie was talking on and on about it so I just said what she said" she answered.

Xavier laughed at this, closing his eyes as he felt Twilight's magic surround them and with a pop they were teleported to Canterlot, the CMC were teleported back home themselves where it was safe, and Spike had decided to go with them while they weren't looking by hanging onto Xavier's leg.

By the time they 'pop' in their in the middle of about five hundred mercenaries who all step back in shock at seeing the main 6 and Xavier there in Canterlot in front of them, while the rest of the five hundred mercenaries were in Canterlot castle trying to break down the doors.

When Twilight and her friends look at the humans clad in that armor, Twilight gulping a bit at their intimidating looks yet Xavier is the first one to step forward and glare at the mercenaries in front of them.

Then followed by Twilight, Rainbow, AJ, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity are the next ones to step forward, the wind blowing sharply to add to the intensity of the moment.

The mercenaries who shake off the fact their plans now have gotten just very complicated start to take the first shots where Twilight and her friends start dodging around and charging at the mercenaries.

"Look out below!" shouted Rainbow Dash as it caught attention of a group of mercenaries who look up just in time to get hit right in the face of the helmet which cracks and dents the helmet before launching him backwards cutting in a straight line to the very back of the line with a very hard impact that sends just about fifty mercenaries into the air from her massive speed from that divebomb.

Xavier himself ends up grabbing one of the guns as it drops back down and starts using the ammunition of the stun weapon to stun some of the other mercenaries that who are continuing to fire their weapons at the group yet missing just horribly, not even coming close to hitting any of them. Yet some mercenaries are interrupt with a stun themselves or getting thwacked in the head with the butt of the gun that Xavier hits against a helmet to knock them out, and he proceeds to do this at least until he runs out of ammunition and wrestles another weapon out of a mercenary.

Applejack herself starts running headfirst into the mercenaries, using her earth pony strength to pick up speed and ram right through a large group of them, sending most of them flying into the air like with what Rainbow Dash's impact did against one. Doing a sharp stop she does a whip around and then kicks with her hind legs right against one mercenary's crotch which causes that man to scream in a very high pitch opera voice until he's kicked again in the head and launched upwards from that kick.

Pinkie Pie does something different, completely annoy mercenaries into the point where their shooting their own men by accident and stunning each-other with their own weapons. Which consists of Pinkie popping up behind one guy's pocket, then the next guy's pants or helmet. Yet when Pinkie Pie vanishes a few mercenaries look around confuse yet stop when they see Pinkie is laying and pretending to be asleep onto of one guy's head, where two mercenaries raise their guns slowly like a hammer and swing down wards at her only to miss entirely when again she vanishes with a quick zip off in the other direction. Resulting in a very cartoon like "CLANG" which makes that one Mercenary slowly fall backwards and goes unconscious himself.

"Woops sorry Tim" say the two Mercenaries who knocked him out, then their blasted away by the party cannon right behind them into more of their own men.

Rarity herself was looking up at two of the mercenaries who were pointing their weapons down at her, the white mare giving a growl as she was preparing to fight them herself until a certain stench caught her nose, sniffing the air, herself then towards the mercenaries, Rarity backing up with a very loud tone coming from her.

"My goodness darlings if you're going to take over canterlot certainly you can do it smelling better, I mean what is that god aweful stench it smells like you've been sweating all day in the black armor of yours!" exclaimed the unicorn.

The mercenaries looked to each-other, lowering their weapons as they gave each-other confused expressions, looking over themselves and even smelling their own armpits, they didn't exactly smell what Rarity was smelling which was all part of Rarity's plan,well aside from making them actually smell better.

"Don't worry darlings! Rarity is on the case!" and soon enough she whips out some perfume with a bit of her magic and starts to spray it in their faces which gets the mercenaries to start coughing for a few moments.

The mercenaries get over the smell very quickly, put their helmets back on and aim their weapons back down to Rarity, though they stop when they feel a burning sensation in their eyes. Their eyes were open when Rarity sprayed the perfume all over their faces, the mercenaries dropping their weapons and letting out painful screams as they start walking around blind as a bat. Which Rarity starts doing this to every mercenary she see's sprays their faces with perfume which results in the majority of them screaming they can't see or they've gone blind which allows the others to kick more mercenaries into the group of blind, wandering hired guns.

"I'm blind! I'm blind! I can't see! Oh god it burns! The smell is so good but so painful!" scream the mercenaries that are still wandering around.

As for Fluttershy she starts running around screaming out of being scared by the intimidating appearance of the mercenaries, those mercenaries bumping into one another so hard that it throws them off balance for AJ to kick them into the air herself. Other mercenaries end up running into street lamps or walls because Fluttershy is just running so quickly and making very sharp turns, the mercenaries that end up running into street lamps and walls just faint from being exhausted and tired from chasing Fluttershy. Though when she ends up running towards Twilight and hiding behind her those mercenaries stop dead in their tracks, stacking up in a straight line when they see Princess Twilight charging up their horn.

"RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!" shout the mercenaries as they turn around and then get blasted off into more groups of their own men cause of how strong Twilight magic launches them.

Then the most unexpected thing happens that gets the last few mercenaries to look around in confusion when they hear shouting coming from somewhere and then something impacts them extremely hard against the back of their heads, this causing them to fall forward unconscious as well. It was the cutie mark crusaders holding some dented frying pans themselves who high-hoof each-other after them succeeding in knocking the last few out.

"Fying Pan Cutie Mark Crusaders unite!" the three of them shout in the middle of their high-hoof.

"What in tarnation?! how did ya'll get here?!" exclaimed AJ as she was pretty angry at them running into danger like this.

"Um...magic?" asked Applebloom when it was partly true, Twilight's magic didn't send them all the way home due to having teleport all of them to canterlot in such a hurry.

"Well whatever the reason we need to get to the throne room! come on!" shouts Xavier as he rushes off to the throne room with the main 6 where most of the same thing happens with fighting through the halls except most of the mercenaries get knocked out the window or run away screaming from how bad their getting beaten.

As they approach the front door Xavier opens it first and starts rushing in to help Celestia and Luna if needed which their holding up a barrier but no sign of Garold or that gigantic 8'5 tall human. Xavier remaining on guard for only a few moments until he hears a loud "BANG" go off in a corner of the room, slowly looking over he see's Garold aiming the pistol right at Xavier. The mercenary leader snarling under his breath as he sees his shot had missed, or more accurately been deflected due to Twilight's shield bubble having saved Xavier at the last second.

"This is not over, Bruiser! Deal with these interlopers!" exclaimed Garlond as he took his leave with his gauntlet by typing in a few co-ordinates and teleporting himself out of the area.

Twilight and her friends look over slowly as they hear these large, loud thumps that start cracking the floor with each step, a slow turning massive war suit with two gattling guns attatched to the shoulders. Where it slowly winds up and Xavier gets out of the way with Twilight and her friends just in time as it starts to shoot at a very high rate of fire.

Rainbow dash leaning against the wall as much as Xavier and Twilight are as that suit is practically terrifying even for her and not much terrifies her though she had to admit it was a pretty cool suit aside from the slow turning.

Xavier who waits for the gattling gun to go 'click, click, click' as it runs out of it's first round of ammunition Xavier runs back in to the room as it reloads very quickly only to take cover behind a pillar this time where he keeps proceeding to do this until he spots the gem in the very back of the suit.

"Cover me!" shouts Xavier as Twilight and her friends do just that, Twilight grabbing chunks of wall and pillar in the room and throwing it right at the massive warsuit.

When Xavier gets behind the warsuit he starts to pry it open but not without shocking himself, where once he grabs the gem he's greets with volts of electricity surging through his body that gets even the suit to malfunction and explode once the gem is plucked out launching Xavier backwards against a pillar, knocking him out and leaving some bad injuries on his chest, life fatal injuries due to how closes he was to that explosion.

Twilight rushing forward she stops in her tracks and lifts Xavier onto his back where she proceeds to use her magic in healing his wounds quickly. Celestia Luna and Cadence lowering the barrier around themselves and the door and looking over as Twilight fights to save Xavier's life, which is uncertain. Twilight starting to try and shake Xavier awake while starting to cry as he's not moving. Twilight starts shouting and begging him not to go, going on about all the things they were going to do as friends in Ponyville.

When Xavier doesn't respond Twilight slams a hoof against Xavier's chest which gets him to jolt awake with a loud scream of pain.

"AH! Jesus Twilight! Can't a guy sleep here?!" he exclaimed.

"You scared me half to death Xavier! Don't you EVER do that again!" shouted Twilight in response as yet against she hits him in the chest on purpose out of being scared like that.

Xavier gave an oof and a grunt, laughing as he laid there with an arm resting around Twilight, and over the course of the day with waking ponies up from being shocked and knocked unconscious they end up holding a celebration over their latest victory. But instead  of Xavier staying for the whole thing he stays up on a balcony with Twilight, looking over the stars and the moon in the night sky as the musical beat went down below them. The two of them laying on a large red sofa, fireworks also going on in the night sky as a form of celebration.

"We'll get you home Xavier, I promise, somehow we will" spoke up Twilight as she snuggled up closely to Xavier.

"Twilight....I think I am home to be honest, I have never been happier as I am now...but I have to admit...this isn't the last we've seen of these mercenaries" replied Xavier as he stares up at the night sky.

"I think you're right" replied Twilight.

"And Twilight?...thank you for everything...for giving me a new life" responded Xavier with one last smile as he went back to staring at the night sky.

_____________________________________________

Meanwhile back in Xavier's world in the far distant future a man who was sitting in a chair was looking at his monitor screen, conversating with garlond about the situation of how he and his men failed. The man who was sitting in his chair has his voice disguised to one of a gritty robotic deep voice.

"I can assure you we won't fail again when we attack Canterlot, this time we'll win, we just need better supplies, more men, better weapons!" exclaimed Garlond form the computer monitor.

"I am not concerned about next time...now that we know the strengths of Canterlot and the weaknesses, we have only but to use those against them...Bruiser's life was expendable but he prooved useful in the end" he replies playing a clip on the television through Bruiser's eyes of the battle with Twilight, Xavier and the rest of the ponies.

"If you say so" and with that Garlond shuts off his screen to plan his next attack on Canterlot with the valuable info of the strengths and weaknesses of The princesses and Twilight herself....

THE END
