"What?" Bell asked the group of ponies that were looking at him worriedly, "yea I'm a bloody alien that just dropped out of the sky and brought 'peace and love'" he stated.

"That's not why we are staring darling" the white unicorn with a curly purple mane and tail said.

"Then why if I my ask?" He asked.

"Your crying" the butter Pegasus with a pink mane and tail said worriedly from behind the white unicorn, upon hearing that, Anthony rubbed his gloved fingers on his face gently and checked them to see that she was correct.

"Damn it" he muttered quietly, although they could hear him, before he clenched his fist and put his helmet back on and rose to his feet and grabbed the rest of his gear from his drop pod.

"Um excuse me, but what are you?" The purple unicorn with a black mane which had a pink and purple strip on it asked.

"I am an alien, and that is all you need to know" he said retrieving his pack which he put on before grabbing his spare ammo pouch with plenty of AR magazines inside followed by his Sniper Rifle and his combat knife which he was given by a old friend of his.

"Um okay well may we know your name?" She asked, "my name is Twilight" she added.

"My name is Anthony" Bell said as he reloaded his Magnum before bolstering it.

"Nice to meet you Anthony, um why did you fall out of the sky?" She asked.

"Well because that is just my most favourite hobby" he said before checking the Drop pod's monitor. "No it's how my type of Soldier is deployed" he said after removing the data chip and inserting it into a wrist mounted datapad that he pulled from his pack before attaching it to his left arm.

"Your Type of Soldier is deployed from the sky?" She asked slightly confused.

"No my type is dropped from Orbit" he stated getting looks of awe and disbelief " thus why i am called an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper" he said as he erased the data from inside the pod.

"Oh wow, that's awesome, how fast do you go?" The cyan Pegasus who had a rainbow mane and tail asked.

"Um I haven't actually checked but seeing as it only took me like 30 seconds to a minute to get from several thousand miles to ground level" he said "and breaking the sound barrier" he added as the pink pegacorn walked up to him.

"Thank you for saving the crystal kingdom" she said before standing up on her hind legs and hugging him, catching him off guard before he hugged back.

"It's what I do" he said as a scroll appeared out of thin air.

"Ah my auntie has written back" the mare said letting go of him as she opened it and read it "it appears that she has requested that you come to Canterlot As soon as possible" she said before looking at the other ponies "you should return with the girls in a few hours to Canterlot" she stated before a white unicorn stallion walked up to with a kind smile.

"Thank you for saving my wife" he said which he recieved a nod in reply.

"Would I be able to sleep somewhere?" Anthony asked the Pegacorn who nodded and gestured with her wing for him to follow her.

(Ten minutes later)

Upon arriving to a spare room, Anthony entered the room and immediately locked it behind him after thanking Cadence. He then checked his datapad and went scanned for signals which after about twenty minutes he discovered one and found it was producing a recording which played.

"Mayday, Ma...day, This is ..... SC Frigate 'Intercept' we ha.... .............unknown planet after using Slip space to get aw....... Reach. Crew status is 100% de....... Any UNSC forces are requested to ....... Search and destroy this Artficia...... Unit to not allow it to fa..... This is Priority O..... , this message will repeat ev..... Until unit is destroyed." The message said through static. Anthony set a waypoint before unlocking his door only to be confronted by a guard.

"Sir you must stay in your room unt.... "The guard was saying until the marine hit him and knocked him out before placing him in the room and locking the door as he made his way out of the crystal castle stealthily.

As he made it outside he was confronted by Twilight who was inspecting his drop pod with cadence ad a few other ponies which he ran passed and headed towards the town.

"Hey wait!" Called Twilight, who teleported in front of him, only for him to jump over her an continue running out of the city into the frozen wastes. Twilight was about to follow him before she was surrounded in a blue aura.

"Why they hay Cadence, we have to stop him" Twilight said which received a no gestured from Cadence.

"Not when a Blizzard is coming in" she said as she teleported back to the drop pod to find the scientist ponies freaking out as a crackling noise was coming from the machine. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"We think we discovered where the creature is heading" a stallion said using his hoof to gesture in the pod where a message was playing.

As she sat she listened to the voice and looked at the screen only for her face to turn to a frown. "Are you telling me that this flashing light is where he is going?" She asked him.

"Yes, he is going to the Windigo Gorge" the stallion said which made Cadence sigh.

"Twilight, please send a message to Princess Celestia to come here immediately" she said as she looked back at the screen "so this blip is this 'Intercept?'" She asked getting another nod.

"We believe so" he said, "it may be his people" he said causing Cadence to raise an eyebrow.

"Why do you day that?" She asked as the stallion gestured her out.

"Well we believe the message was referring to UNSC when it said SC, and this UNSC is on the side of this pod" he explained pointing at the side of the freshly cleaned pod.

"So he is going to look for survivors?" She asked.

"We don't think so as the message said they were all dead." He added.

"Then who sent the message?" She asked getting another shrug "well we need to prepare our guard as the creature may have weapons there" she said with a shudder.

"Well she looks in good condition, no bumps or damage.... So why did she crash?" He wondered as he moved closer to the starship until he the open hanger door to be confronted with used magazines, rocket casings, shotgun shells, bullet casings and blood but no bodies. "This isn't good" he said raising his assault rifle and listened, all he could hear was the blizzard raging at the top of the gorge and nothing else.

Steeling his nerves, he entered the dark hanger of the ship after turning on his night vision in his helmet, scanned the hanger to see that it was full of vehicles "ok so they didn't evac" he muttered as he reached a pitch black hallway that led to the engine room "better get the power back on so I can set the self destruct" he muttered before hearing a soft brief moan behind him causing him to whip around ad scan the hanger only to find nothing, he turned and headed down the hall way slowly seeing his night vision only gave him the few metres in front of him in the hallway, he passed more spent munition and blood until he found a arm that had been severed.

He knelt down and lifted the arm before looking around to see a blast door that had sealed and where it sealed was covered in blood "poor fucker" he though before he felt the are twitch causing him to drop it and look at the arm and saw it's finger twitch slightly. "What the fuck?" He asked as he curb stomped the hand of the arm before continuing down the hall way until he found the door to the engine room half sealed.

He was about to entered when he heard another moan, except this time it was closer, but when he turned and switched on the flash light of the rifle he found just an empty hall which made the ODST gulp as the arm was gone. He slowly turned and entered the engine room and scanned the room to find the problem, several of it's main switches had been flipped, shutting down the engine. "Well fuck" he said before looking at a wall which had instructions on how to turn it on. "Well that's handy" he stated as he started to flip the switches in order until he came to the final switch and found an empty helmet simply on the ground, lucky for him the helmet had a camera so he could see what happened.

He flipped the switch starting up the engine and reactor before removing the data chip from the helmet and inserted it into his data pad and played the last hour of the recording.

Marine Sargent Williams' Orders - Survive

Running, that was the first thing that was shown, the marine had a shotgun in hand and was with several others with him who varied from flight crew, to ODST to even a Spartan - 2 . They had shotguns, flamethrowers, assault rifles and the Spartan had a spartan laser and machine gun turret, the group was making it's way down the blackened halls towards the engine room.

"Sarge why did we get the worst mission?" A female marine asked a they arrived at the sealed door which the spartan proceeded to open manually.

"Simply Summers, we get the engine on and then the heating comes on and drives those freaking ice ghost horses from this ship" he explained as the Spartan began to separate the sections of the blast door slowly.

"Okay but what about the turned?" She asked nervously.

"Simple we burn and blast every las one of the frozen corpses" he said confidently until he heard a wolf like howl coming from behind him, making him turn to see a glowing horse standing about 20 metres away with a team of marines who's flesh was pale and their eyes milky, the worse thing was that the marines all had their weapons on them, the horse let out another howl before it charged with the corpses only to be hit by a wall of flames from the Flamethrower wielding ODST's

"Go, get the engine on, we got this " one said as the group nodded and entered the engine while the spartan and ODST held the enemies at bay.

"Eugene, you are the Engineer here, how do we turn it on?" He asked the man in a red jumpsuit.

"Um we have to flip the breaker switches in a specific sequence then wait a few minutes" he said as he rubbed the back of his head. "Just follow that map" he said pointing his flashlight on his assault rifle to a wall with the instructions.

"Okay let's move out, everyone stick together" The Sarge ordered as he lead them to each but as they were almost at the last a wolf howl was heard and several ghost horses came down from the ceiling and attacked the group, freezing them solid before the ice around them shattered and they began attacking the survivors by shooting or biting them. After a few moments the Sargent was left as he pulled out a grenade and primed it as a turned Summers fired her rifle into his gut before the grenade detonated and the recording ended.

"Holy shit" Anthony muttered as he threw the date chip away as the lights came on, as they did a whirling sound came from behind him causing the marine to turn and see a seven foot tall Spartan with a turret in its hands, the soldier'a visor was cracked at his milky white eyes could be seen clearly. "You have got to be fucking kidding me" he said before diving off the platform as a hail storm of bullets tore through the air. He turned and opened fire on the undead spartan only for the bullets to bounce harmlessly off his shield making the ODST gulp and run off the exit.

As he ran he heard the sound of the spartan dropping down behind him and the whirl of the turret barrel, only to receive several clicks followed by a loud thud, he turned to look to see the spartan unslung his Spartan Laser and aim it towards the marine. As the weapon charged, moaning and growling could be heard from behind the marine making him turn and see a large group of turned humans all with a variation of weapons. The turned were about to attack only for all the weapons to simply click empty.

The living human smirked and lobbed several grenades before he unslung his sniper rifle and fired it into the spartan'a head, piercing the shield and it's skull only for it to ignore it and charge into where the grenades landed, blowing off it's leg, killing it.

He then turned and threw the last of his grenades down the hallway before running out of the other exit, he was running for a good 30 minutes until he reached a lift that would take him to the bridge were the AI was hopefully but as he hit the button for the bridge, nothing happened except for a voice coming through the P.A

"You sHAll not deCommISSIon me liKe the oTHers human!?" A voice screamed causing the ODST to gulp before feeling like he was being pulled into the floor and the sound of the engines engaging.

"Oh shit, the AI must be rampant and the crazy thing is taking off" he said as he ran to get to the the armoury while dodging zombie soldiers. Upon arriving he sealed the door behind him and swapped up his sniper rifle and his assault rifle with a DMR and Shotgun the grabbed a duffle bag and loaded it with grenades and supplies. Anthony then looked around to find something to bring down the ship. "How the fuck does one blow up a Frigate without knowing a thing about how it works" he wondered as he looked around until he saw a locker which had skull and cross bones painted on it.

As he opened the locker with a little force and discovered three tactical havoc Nuclear warheads. "That works" he said as he grabbed them and put them in the bag before he heard loud banging coming from the far locked door gaining his attention.

As he looked he saw that the thick steel door was being beaten in, so he quickly grabbed his gear and ran to the engine room through the door on the opposite side. As he reached the door he turned to see the far door being forced open by the Spartan he though he killed and watched it pick up a a rocket launcher and a assault rifle before taking chase. "Why won't you just give up and die already" Anthony yelled throwing a grenade, detonation the room'a munitions as he ran way.

Cadence was sitting in the dining hall explaining the situation to Celestia as a low rumbling was heard from outside making them run to a window only to see a massive black metal object raise from the mountains in the distance and begin flying towards the Equestrian Border, upon seeing this Celestia teleported away while Cadence looked worried as she watched the object vanish "Anthony what have you gotten yourself into?" She muttered.

"The phrase 'Spartans never die' is just a figure of speech" the ODST yelled as he pinned the walking corpse to a wall with a warthog, moments before it picked up the jeep as threw it across the room. Anthony had managed to set the three warhead up on 20 minutes times in the engine room, Just below the Mac Gun and in the Slip Space Drive room, which he found out that it was powering up so he made his way to the hanger to take a Pelican, only to be confronted by the Undead Spartan again. He had been thrown around by the zombie for the last 10 minutes and was starting to get sick of it.

Anthony was reaching his wits end as he had been trying to activate a Pelican or Falcon but the Spartan kept ripping him out of the drivers seat, so he had to disable the zombie first which was why he drove a jeep into it. Bell was now running to a nearby pelican that he had began to set up, before he was pulled from it, and mounted the turret on the back before unleashing hell on the freak, severing it's legs and arms before he went and began to take off and leave the hanger.

When he was free he began to fly away from the ship just as his instruments went haywire as a pulse one white energy hit the craft, causing it's electronics to fail and to plummet towards the group at high speed before crashing on the edge of a large forest.

Celestia was sitting on her Student's couch as she watched the mane six slowly arrive one by one, she had brought several dozen guards and was waiting for all the elements to arrive before teleporting to the massive vessel that was cleaving it's way through the sky. "So why are we waiting here for Fluttershy? She Is hiding under her bed when I told her what as happening" Rainbow dash said with a sigh just as Applejack entered gently pushing the timid butter Pegasus inside.

"Okay now that everypony is here we ca...." She was saying before a guard burst in.

"Princess!! The vessel has created a portal." He exclaimed as all the ponies ran outside to see that he wasn't lying, the princess was about say something until a pulse of white energy was created as the portal closed after the vessel, the pulse hit Ponyville and beyond but instead of harming any pony, it deactivated their magic, causing several Pegisi to crash into the ground and unicorns and earth ponies to stumble only for a brief moment until their magic returned.

"What the buck was that?" Rainbow exclaimed as she picked herself up off the ground.

"I don't know but look" twilight said pointing her hoof at a dark green object slam into the Everfree forest.

"Guard you to go to the barracks in Ponyville and round up more guards" the princess ordered as she received a nod an the guard flew off.

After about an hour, roughly 50 heavily armoured guard ponies arrived just as a small white filly came running towards Rarity. "Sweetie what's wrong?" She asked.

"Help..... The crusaders..... Manticore Nest..... Taming cutie mark.... Danger" she said between puffs.

"What?! Princess we can worry about the object later, right now we have to save the crusaders" Rarity said which she receive a nod and the large group headed off.

A beeping was the first thing that alerted Anthony that he was still alive, he opened his eyes slowly to see that his visor was heavily cracked but not broken open, he looked at his HUD and saw that there was some movement on his motion tracker, he then checked his health monitor which was flashing, telling him that he was injured 'no shit' he thought as he tried to move his left arm but grunts in pain before checking it with his right to see that his shoulder was dislocated, he then looked down at his legs and noticed a large shard of the pelican's windscreen sticking out just above his right knee, he looked to the blast door and saw it was open which caused him to sigh in relief at the thought that he wasn't trapped inside the burning wreckage.

He began to drag himself towards the first aid kit that wa under one of the seats and opened it before he pulled out a morphine injector, bandages, a biofoam canister and a shoulder brace before he uncliped his shoulder and chest plate and using as much force and care as he could, relocated his shoulder causing him to cry out before he attached the brace and reattached his armour before he moved to his leg.

He remove his helmet before placing a magnum magazine in his mouth and yanked the shard out before liking the wound with biofoam and removed his foreleg armour. He injected his leg before he felt around his knee. "Shit need to brace this" he muttered before looking in the first aid kit to find a brace only to be disappointed when he didn't find one so he bandaged his leg before looking around for something to use as a splint, finding a case under a seat, he pulled it out to find a sniper rifle so working fast, he used all his strength to unlock the barrel and unscrew it only to reattach his armour and tie the barrel to his armoured leg with rope from his rucksack.

After fixing himself up, he pulled himself to his feet with a winch and grunt before grabbing his shotgun, DMR and modified Sniper rifle before pulling on his helmet and went investigating the movement with his DMR in hand As he limped out of the wreck he heard a scream nearby, the scream sounded like a little girl so without thinking a second longer, Anthony forced his body to move as fast as possible through the forest, soon he arrived at a clearing only to find two knee high ponies shaking in fear as several large bat winged lions with scorpion tails cornered them, 'shit they need my help... But they aren't human... Fuck it' he argued with himself before stepping out if the bush and taking aim, moments later he fired a single round, tearing into the first abomination's throat, almost decapitating it before he took aim at another before blasting it square in the chest but before he had an aim on the next, the beasts charged him, only for him to swap to his shotgun and begin firing until his gun was empty and one of the beast's bite down on his shoulder, the creatures were shoulder height to him.

He grunted, still effected by the painkillers as he punched hard into its throat, crushing it, before ripping the suffocating beast off him and drawing his 8 inch chemically sharpened combat knife and stabbed it through another's skull like a knife through butter before withdrawing the blade and looked at the last two creatures before throwing the knife into ones head and drew his sawn off Sniper rifle and emptied a round into the remaining creature, aiming for it he's but hitting it's torso an splitting the creature in two.

As he retrieved his knife, he noticed a wound in his thigh with purple fluid pouring out causing him to turn and see one of the creatures tail's oozing the same liquid "fuck I got poisoned" he grumbled as he sheathed his knife and looked at hi torn up shoulder and groaned. "So much for the shoulder brace" he muttered before looking over at the fillies and seeing that they were looking at him in both fear and awe which in reply he simply waved before stumbling slightly. The two cautiously approached him before stopping as the Princess of the sun, elements of harmony and lots of guards burst through the bushes only to stop an look in shock at the scene of the clearing.

"What the Buck?!" One of the guards asked as all eyes turned to the bloodied, wounded giant that was using a tree to hold himself up. Before anyone could react, Fluttershy was already upon him, checking his injuries with a worried expression.

"You poor thing" she said placing a hoof on his hand.

"Poor thing? Fluttershy if you hadn't noticed, all the dead bucking Maticores." Rainbow dash said.

"I'm sure he had a good reason, even if he did kill then" she said softly as she looked up at the damaged visor.

"He did, he came out of the bushes an rescued us" scootaloo exclaimed causing all eyes to look at her then back at the giant which had dropped to its knees.

"Oh dear he is loosing a lot of blood and is poisoned" Fluttershy said as Anthony unslung his bag and pulled a canister before sticking the hose end of the canister into his shoulder.

"What the hay is he doin' ?" Applejack asked moments before foam filled the wound causing several of the ponies to move closer to investigate.

"It's some sort of medical foam" Fluttershy said pressing a hoof against some foam that was sticking oh I his shoulder plate. "It's spongy a absorbent" she studied before looking at the canister that he simply discarded. "Bio Foam?" She read off the canister before looking back at the marine before back at the canister "designed to clot bleeding, inflate collapsed lungs, lock around damage joint an more, recommended to replace every 30 minutes" she read as all the ponies had gotten a little too close to him and he rose to his full height which a this point Fluttershy notice the splint and the hole in his leg before turning back to the ponies giving them a glare. "Don't crowd him, he is wounded you never over crowd a wounded creature" she said making most of the ponies look at we in shock before they backed up, save for the princes who moved closer to him an inspected his injuries.

"I am quite surprised you are still standing with those injuries and with manticore venom pumping in your veins, but anyway I must thank you or not only saving these two young ponies but also saving the Crystal Kingdom" she said warmly as he simply nodded.

"It's what I do" he said before looking around and back at the guards then at the princess, then back the fillies "how can your young so easily get into a place of great danger?" He asked .

"It's because that the Everfree forest is a untameable land that no matter how much we try, something always stops our builders from making walls" she sighed before she looked back at her ponies then at him. "I believe this conversation would be better if we spoke at the hospital so you can get fixed up" she said getting a nod from Anthony as her horn glowed and in a flash of light all the ponies were gone leaving the ODST alone in the dark forest.

"Figures" he grumbled before he began limping in a random direct to find shelter.

Celestia sighed as they finished teleporting only to see that the creature wasn't with them which caused her to panic which she hid under her mask.

"Princess, where is the creature?" Fluttershy asked worried.

"I don't know I used a spell to take everypony to..... I am a buckin idiot" she said face hoofing.

"What Princess?" Asked her student.

"I used a spell to only transport ponies to save energy but in doing so I left the creature behind and I can't teleport back as thanks to the Everfree's magic it mucks up teleporting in. She sighed, silently fuming that she bucked up their probably only chance to learn from a alien species and simply left it to bleed to dead in the accursed forest.

"Well we have to go find him" Fluttershy exclaimed.

"We can't it will be night soon." She said making the butter Pegasus sigh.

Anthony was sitting in a cave quite far away from the crash site as he removed his helmet and replace the biofoam before he set up a fire and opened one of his cans of beans and pork and slowly ate while keeping an eye on the mouth of the cave, he hadn't encounter nothing else except a stray deer or rabbit but no other predators which meant they were stalking him or they were hiding from him, which he was hoping for the latter as his morphine had run out and he left the injector at the pelican.

He was beginning to relax when he heard soft clops at the entrance if the cave causing him to whip hi head around and look at a large malnourished bug pony, it's forelegs and horn were riddled with holes and it had an aqua mane and tail as it stopped and looked at the man. "Sorry I didn't know this cave was occupied" it said with a soft tired feminine voice.

"It's fine, come in before you attract predators" he said which she nodded in thanks before walking over and laying across from him, she began looking him over and winched at his wounds.

"I'm I hope you don't take offended to this but, how the buck are you still alive?" She asked.

"Pure will power" he said with a smile "so how did you know I could talk?" He asked.

"Oh well I have been following since you stumbled out if your vessel" she said sheepishly.

"Right and why?" He asked

"Because I thought that we could be friends? And that I could heal you if you do something for me?" She asked making him raise an eyebrow.

"And whats this favour?" He asked a she moved closer to him.

"If you give me some of your love" she said with a soft hopeful look.

"Why?" He asked skeptically

"Because changelings need love to survive and all my children sacrificed themselves to allow me to survive " she said wit a frown that threatened to change into her crying.

"Will it do anything bad to me?" He asked which caused her to shake her head.

"No it won't, even though everypony say that it drains their life, it simply makes one a little tired an that's only if I take all your love" she said as she moved closer.

"Um okay but any funny business and your dead" he said pressing his magnum against her sternum.

"Deal" she said liking a spot on his neck, numbing it. "Even though I numbed the spot, it may hurt a little when I bite into you" she said waiting for him to respond which was by him nodding. "Thank you" she said gently as she could bit into his neck making him winch as she use her magic to siphon his magic only to pull away a few moments later with a grown and lay her head in his lap.

"What is it not to your liking?" He asked getting a soft chuckle from her as the holes on her body filled up.

"Far from it, I think I may have over fed" she said as she nuzzled his lap gently. "Thank you" she said before he horn began to glow a faded green, an aura of the same colour formed around Anthony and a surge if pain rushed through his body as his wounds began to seal themselves, leaving scars in their place.

"I guess we are even now" he said with a chuckle a her horn glowed for a second time as a barrier formed around around the entrance of the cave.

"Maybe but you are now my friend and only friend so I am not gonna let you go unlike the others I have in the past" she said looking up at the man with mismatched eyes and red hair.

"Seems fair enough" he said stroking her mane gently, "my name is Anthony but you can call me Tony" he said

"My name is Chrysalis but you can call me Chrys."

Tony groaned as he awoke, he had managed to fall asleep the night before due to his sheer exhaustion as he looked around the cave, the fire had gone out hours ago and the only light was that of the sun which was tinted green by a wall of slime, he then felt a shift of weight on his lap to which he looked down to see the changeling that pretty much saved his life and stalked him the night before, asleep and purring slightly on his lap, he didn't remember her moving to sit more of her body on him but right now he didn't honestly care as he stroked his hand down her side making her shiver and crack open one of her green slotted eyes to look at him to which she smiled and nuzzled him before getting up. "Morning" she said softly as Tony removed the metal splint from his leg and rose to his feet.

"Hey how did you sleep?" He asked a he cleaned the barrel and reattached it to the sniper rifle.

"Better then I had in years" she said here her stomach growled.

"Need more love?" He asked as she shook her head.

"No this time I need actual food" she said as she her horn glowed and the slime wall fell away.

"Well I got some protein bars if that helps?" He asked pulling out two bars for one of his pouches which she accepted ate not really caring about to dull flavour. So where to now?" He asked as he munched on his own.

"Well probably a border town as Changelings are not that accepted in the inner towns and cities of Equestria, and also I don't think most would be to happy to meet a space alien, unless the want to cut you open and see how you tick" she said with a shudder.

"Okay well we better get moving before they come looking for me" he said as he grabbed his helmet and put it on before he walked over to the changeling. "Shall we?" He asked gesturing the entrance.

"Yes." She replied grabbing his hand with her mouth an teleporting them both.

As the two teleported into the town, all they heard were screams and a loud roar causing the two look at a massive green and gold dragon laying siege to the mixed species town, Chrys was about to teleport the two away before Tony stepped forward an raised his 50 caliber sniper rifle. "Tony are you insane?" She asked.

"Maybe" he said before firing the remaining three rounds in his clip, each slammed into the dragon and easily tore through its scales causing it to cry out in pain as one of the bullets sliced through a tendon on it left wing making the wing fall limp, the second tore into its neck, puncturing it's flame sac as molten liquid spewed from its neck and the last took off a chunk of it's lower jaw. The dragon looked in rage as shock at the black figure who was reloading it's rifle.

The dragon's throat muscles expanded as it prepared to breath fire, only for it to cry out as it's flame sac spewed flames from its neck moments before a series of four bangs went off as the ODST fired again, the first slicing through it's knee cap, causing the beast to fall to the ground as the second took off one of its horns, the third drove itself into it's neck above it's flame sac and punctured it's windpipe, filling it with blood and finally the fourth round drove through it's eye, and slicing into it's brain, killing the beast. "But I have killed bigger" he said reloading before turning to face his shocked friend.

"How is your weapon so powerful?" She asked.

"This is a Anti - Material rifle which is designed to punctured three inches of titanium, combined with bullets which are just smaller then your horn that are designed to penetrate armour before detonating, this Dragon didn't really stand a chance." He said slinging the rifle over his shoulder before walking to the Dragon and looked at the grizzle ooze from where its eye was, I general the dragon wasn't that much bigger then a covenant Liche. He crouched down and plucked one of its scale and inspected it, it was less then a inch thick.

"Um excuse me?" A voice asked from behind him causing him to turn to find a pony mare with a dark brown coat, a tie, reading glasses, her mane was a like green and her fur was a reddish pink colour. "I just wanted to thank you for saving our town from this dragon, he was plaguing us for years demanding our treasure" she said which simply got a nod in reply.

"It's what I do" he said before looking at Chyrs who was surrounded by Guards in dented black armour.

The mare followed his gaze and gulped before looking at Tony "dot worry about her we shall de.... " she was saying before his gaze turned to he making her gulp.

"You shall not harm my friend" he said causing her to nod swiftly before she ordered the guards to stand down. "Why didn't your princess help deal with this threat?" He asked

"Simply because there is roughly twenty ponies in this town off one hundred and we don't really have anything of value to Equestria so he doesn't bother" she sighed.

"Well it seems that you don't have much in the way of protection" he said.

"Will you please protect us? We will let you and your friend live here in peace" she begged the man who looked at Chrys then back at the mare.

"Okay but we are gonna have to set up this town properly" he said looking around the town briefly, it wasn't all that big and had little to no defences. He was cut off from his observing as a pair of reddish pink legs wrapped around his neck and hugged him.

"Thank you" she said before letting go as straightening her coat "any way I am Mare Sweetheart and welcome to Sanctuary" she said.

"My name is Tony and this is Chrys " he said as the changeling walked over and stood next to him, she was almost a tall as him.

"I'll show you to a house that is designed for a minotour since you are bipedal and as tall as one" she said before looking at the corpse. "What are we gonna do with that?" She muttered

"I recommend stripping it, craving it up and using it's bones and flesh to make better armour, weapons and buildings" Tony said making the mare turn green for a second before nodding and gesturing for some of the mixed species guard to go do what he said.

As the three walked, Tony and Chrys were getting plenty of looks from the populace, they passed many Minotours, Griffions, Diamond dogs and ponies as they walked, soon arriving at a large run down two story house.

"Well here it is, sorry about the condition, we were more worried about not being dragon food then having pretty houses... Oh and by the way the dragon's hoard beneath the town is now yours due to Dragon law" she said which got a shrug from the marine.

"I won't need it, you take most of it and maybe bring the rest to this house?" He asked getting a happy nod from the mare before she left, leaving the two to enter the house.

"Your too nice, you should have taken all of it" Chrys said as she laid on a couch.

"And what? Make a bad impression? No I wanted them to be comfortable with us" he said sitting down next to the changeling and removed his helmet. "Besides they need the money to help rebuild their town." He said as she laid her head on his lap.

"Makes sense I guess but do we just live here for the rest of our lives?" She asked him making him chuckle.

"No but just for now as it's a place as we aren't anywhere near the inner towns." He said scratching behind her ears gently.

"And what's gonna stop them from reporting us?" She asked.

"Well I just gave the town most of this dragons hoard after I blew it's brains out" he chuckled.

"Fair point" she replied before taking a nap on him. He simply chuckled softly a he stroked her side as a loud knock was hear from the front door causing him to get gently lift her head off his lap and lay it back down before heading to the front door with his helmet on and opened the door to find 7 seven foot tall dragon man in plate armour, his scales were black and neon blue with red eyes as he looked at the ODST.

"Are you the one who killed my kin?" The dragon asked as Tony nodded and reached for his magnum. "Good, then I am here to thank you and bring you the bounty." He said confusing the human.

"Wait what?" He asked confused as two shorter dragons placed a large chest down near the door.

"The dragon you defeated was wanted by my people for murdering his fellow dragon outside of battle, he had a bounty in his head for several thousand bits." He said gesturing the chest.

"Um I'm not interested in the money, if you want, you can give it to this town to help it rebuild." He said making the dragon chuckle.

"Noble, alright but I have a favor to ask of you Alien." He said getting a nod from Tony. "There are hundreds of wanted criminals and monster in the no man's land near this town... Bring back their heads or if they are a dragon, their fire crystals which are found at the back of the throat and you shall be rewarded along with this town." He said offering his hand to seal the deal.

"Sure but I will need ammunition" he said making the dragon raise an eyebrow.

"Well if you give us one of your ammunition we shall replicate it for a deduction of the bounty you earn" he said in which Tony nodded and pulled out a magazine for his DMR, his Sniper Rifle an his Magnum and then grabbing a shotgun shell and handing it to the dragon who looked at the items before nodding. "We shall be in touch, just deliver the items to the blue and green Dragoness in the market place" he said before he left with his kin an the chest.

"Well shit" Tony muttered before closing the door and returning to the lounge room to find Chrys on the floor on her back snoring cutely. "I don't even know" he said shaking his head before going to pick up the changeling and grunting at her weight. "The fuck?" He asked no one in particular before taking a deep breath an lifting her before carrying her slowly to one of the rooms to put her to bed.

"Well isn't this romantic?" She asked causing him to look down at her a she was in a bridal position.

"How long have you been awake for?" He grunted as he laid her on the bed.

"Since you first attempted to pic me up, I thought it was cute and I didn't want to ruin it" she said with a smile as she grabbed his hand with her forehooves.

"What are you doing?" He asked as she yanked him with incredible strength onto the bed.

"I can only sleep comfortably with you around so your staying right here" she playfully growled as her legs wrapped around him pulling him down closer to her.

"Well can I at least remove my armour first?" He asked making her blush.

"I want to just cuddle not rut" she said making him blush.

"I have underclothes on you know" he said as she released him.

"Sorry I'm use to ponies and other races not wearing thing under their armour" she said as he got off the bed and began to remove his armour, when he was halfway done, Chrys looked at his torn uniform. "I think you need new clothes" she said getting a nod from him as he removed the armour on his right arm to show that it was a prosthetic limb. "What happened to your arm Tony?!" She asked as she moved to him to inspect it.

"Well on my first mission my team and I had to eliminate a threat that was present in a warehouse, low and behold it was a pair 9 foot tall worm infested creatures that was covered in armour that was dubbed a hunter, one of its arms a type of powerful beam weapon ad the other is a thick metal plate. So anyway we attack, we kill one before the other knocks me down and stomps down on my right arm, crushing it... I got this replacement soon after so I could continue fighting" he said as he finished removing his armour before getting into the bed only to be grappled by the changeling again who nuzzled his neck. "You really like doing that don't you?" He asked.

"Of course, who else am I gonna show all my affection to?" She asked making Tony chuckle as he put his fake arm around her and prepared to rest when he hear his datapad go off, he got up of the bed and checked it only to see that there was a signal being transmitted from the mountains. "What's wrong?" She asked as she watched him put his damaged armour on an grab his shotgun and DMR.

"I picked up a UNSC signal and I'm going to go investigate" he said heading for the front door before he heard hoof steps behind him.

"I'll come and support you if there is danger" she said which she received a nod in reply as they headed out to see a large group of black armoured bat winged ponies with their spears aimed at Tony while a midnight blue Pony with a horn and wings stood proud in light blue armour, he mane an tail flowed in invisible wind.

"Alien, Queen Chrysalis thou are under arrest" she stated a she stepped forward an inspected Tony moments before he slammed the but of his rifle into her cheek and pulled her into a headlock an used her as a meat shield with his magnum to her neck. "Release us beast!" He demanded as he guards move closer only for them to cry out as he fired his magnum into the sky.

"Order your lackies to get lost as I have a job to do" he said as he looked to Chrys and nodded before she nodded back.

"Never worm, Guards Kill them" she demanded before Tony slammed his pistol into her temple knocking her out before they vanished in a flash of green light.

"Oh Buck, Oh Buck, Oh Buck we are so Bucking Bucked" Chrys said hyperventilating as Tony bound the midnight Alicorn "she's gonna find us, roast us alive and feed us to her Griffions allies as a delicacy" Chrys muttered over and over a she rocked back and forth, Tony walked over to her and gently slapped her cheek.

"Go, get out of here, you have received plenty of love from me to restart a hive so go, get the fuck out of here so only shall suffer the Alicorn's wrath" he said.

"Are you bucking crazy? I'm not leaving you, you'll die!" She stated.

"And my friend will be safe " he said before giving her a push "go... Now" he said as he removed his helmet to give her one last smile, moments before she zoomed forward to kiss him and teleport away leaving him and the midnight Alicorn alone.

"That's very noble of you, but you shall pay for harming my baby sister" a voice said behind him, causing him to turn and see the Alabaster Alicorn in thick golden armour, her mane tied in a pony tail and a 15 inch long sword hovered in a golden aura next to her.

"I don't care what happens to me, as long as my last friend is safe" he said before putting his helmet on and dropping his firearms then drew his 8 inch combat knife and got in a stance. "Shall we?" He asked as the Mare nodded before she lunged forward, slashing diagonally, which the marine easily dodged before punching her armoured barrel with his robotic arm, cracking the plate and moving behind her. 'I can't kill her or the sun will stop moving, but I can't let her kill me as she will hunt down Chrys' he thought as he dodged attack after attack from the mare, avoiding every chance of making a death blow between her sloppy swings.

"Stop dodging and fight me" she demanded moments before he kicked her In the head with his armour boot, knocking her down before he moved back out of swinging range. The fight went on like this for about twenty minutes before Tony's helmet went of warning about a slips pace rupture nearby, causing him to look and see the one thing he didn't want to, a large purple four legged metal beast landed on the ground less then 100 hundred metres away, but his attention was quickly back to Celestia as she severed his real arm from the elbow down, causing him to cry out before he slammed his metal fist into her face, knocking her out. He looked down at his severed arm and sighed as her magical blade managed to burn the wound instantly, which was a plus, the negative was now he had to deal with a fucking Scrab, loaded with probably countless covenant. So he grabbed his magnum and started running towards the Scrab ignoring the pain in his arm as he reached a cliff just above the metal monstrosity, he hopped down the 3 metre drop onto the top Anti Air Cannon then slid down off it and down it's shell behind a grunt and drove his knife into the back of its head then turned to see a brute that was in blue armour roar at him moments before it found the marines knife in its skull, dropping it.

"Human, kill it" yelled a grunt moments before the ODST turned and blasted it with his Magnum and with that the crew of the metal beast rushed the marine, who looted several plasma grenades and a spike grenade along with a spiker which he made use of and shot another blue Brute in the throat then shot several jackets before looting ones shield and mounting it on his armour just above the stub of his left forearm. As he fought, he was slowly pushed back near the generator which made him silently laugh at their stupidity before a large bronze armoured Brute with horns and a massive bladed hammer charged forward 'what the fuck is that?!' He thought as he dodged the swing and watched the brute hit a jackel and send the poor alien flying into a wall with a sickening crunch, seeing an oppertunity, Tony tossed all the grenades he had into the generator as the brute hit the shield on his arm and sent him flying off the Scrab to the barren wasteland below, he slammed into the ground and watched as the vehicle detonated before he blacked out.

Celestia stood tall and proud, her armour heavily dented and a large black and blue bruise on her face, but she didn't care, she mortally wounded the monster that took her sister, who stood next to her at this point as her ponies searched the massive wreck for survivors, the strange thing was when she came to she saw a massive explosion in the distance but found no trace of the creature known as Anthony.

"We are happy that thou slayed such a repulsive beast" Luna said as several guards dragged a half conscious ape like creature in broken bronze armour.

"What are you Creature?" Celestia asked the ape.

"My name is Bri'trek, I am a Brute" he said as blood dropped from his mouth.

"What happened to your vessel?" She asked.

"I under estimated a Human in black armour who managed to out smart my crew and pushed him to the Scrab's weak point." He said

"Human, tell me about their race?" She question the dying chieftain.

"They are tenacious and unlike any other race that the covenant has encounter, they defend every one of their colony planets till their dying breaths even when kill billions or trillions of their soldiers and civilians, they just fight harder and harder" he said as he shook hi head.

"Why would thou murder Trillions of lives? What did the humans do to deserve this fate?" Luna asked disturbed.

"Absolutely nothing, but it was the prophets while" he said with a chuckle.

"So that explains why he was so cautious around us, but why did he kidnap you Luna?" Celestia asked as she crushed the brute's head with her magic

"Well... We may have... Maybe tried to arrest him" she said getting a deadpan look from her sister.

"Are you bucking serious?" She asked her little sister.

"He was allied with Chrysalis", she defended.

"And how did you know that?" She asked.

"Because she wasn't in disguise" Luna stated before realising her mistake.

"Lulu if she wasn't in disguise then she may not have had any ill intent and may have been reformed" Celestia said calmly as a pair of guards dragged the dead alien and dumped it in the wreckage. "If anything we need to find this human as soon as possible to right this terrible mistake" she said with a sigh before she gathered her guards as a Unicom guard teleported in front of her and bowed.

"The creature has been found at the Sanctuary Medical centre with an unknown Pegasus Mare" he said.

"Excellent work, the mare is most likely a Changeling Queen" he said as all the guards flinched "it appears that she has started to become reformed because of the human, so my sister and I shall visit him" she said before teleporting away with Luna, leaving all the guards to clean up.

A Amber Pegasus mare was watching over the human, his armour had been stripped from his body along with his clothes, save for his undergarments, his body was covered in scars and melted skin along with several tattoos, the mare looked close to tears as a soft pop was heard from behind her causing her to turn and see the two Royal sister standing beaten and bruised. "Chrysalis?" The sun princess asked as the mate took a step back. "Wait we don't mean to cause harm... Actually the opposite, more information has been discovere about Anthony's species and it's history along with why he is Xenophoblic" she said as she looked at the human who had several dozen dog tags around his neck including a locket "also I have come to fix my mistake" she said pointing her hoof at his arm.

"And what's going to stop you from arresting us?" Chrys asked as she returned to her normal form.

"That was out bad" Luna said sheepishly raising her hoof, her horn had a crack from where Tony slammed his rifle butt into her face.

"Well thanks to you both, he has lost his arm and also your magic is doing something to him" Chrys said pointing at Celestia who cocked an eyebrow.

"My magic?" He asked before walking over and looking at his arm that she damaged and saw that the arteries were glowing a faint gold.

"Yes apparently it has increased several thing in his body but it's burning his body up" she said before biting into Tony's neck injecting venom. "I had been dosing him with changeling venom to slow his organs to slow down your magic from killing him" she growled.

"I can solve this but it's gonna need magic from all three of us" Celestia said making both Luna and Chrys look a her confused. "We infuse our magic into his severed limb and then reattach it and letting the magic rush through his system and try to allow his body to evolve rapidly." She said.

"Right, change him from his pure species to a bucking hybrid even though you just said he is xenophobic, that's gonna end well!" Chrys yelled at her "and what if it doesn't work an just puts him through even more pain?" She asked.

"Then we put him in a magic endured coma and then we pull him out when the evolution is complete" Luna suggested "it also allows us to find out about more if his past" she added.

"How so?" The changeling asked.

"Well we are the goddess of the dream world so we can just cause him to dream about one of his memories" she said causing both Celestia and Chrysilis ponder for a moment.

"Okay fine but if he dies..." She threatened which Celestia interrupted.

"He won't but if he does you can personally take your revenge, as he may very well be the only survivor amount trillions" she said causing Chrys's eyes to widen.

"Trillions?!" She asked dumbfounded.

"Yes the prison that we interrogated said that some covenant huntered down and murdered soldiers and civilians just for the heck of it" Luna said in a disgusted tone "even when we were Nightmare Moon, we wouldn't kill or harm another race for no reason, yes a tiny reason but not because they exists" she said.

"Where is the bastard?" Chrys asked.

"Burning with the rest of his kin" Celestia said before turning to the human. "Shall we?" She asked using her magic to levitate the severed arm which the other two nodded and poured their magic into itch asking it to glow before moving to reattach it. "Okay Luna put him in the coma" she said just as magically tendrils shot out from the stub on the arm to the stub on his elbow, reconnecting them and causing him to arch his back and cry out in pain before they had a chance to react, but with in a few moments, he was out cold.

"Okay we shall begin" Luna said a she closed her eyes and her horn glowed before her aura enveloped Celestia, Cheys and Tony and they entered his memories and accessed one of the leashed suppressed.

"The Northern Bunker has been lost, I need marines up there to retake it yesterday" ordered the commander who was currently manning a Scorpion Battle Tank, "I want the ODST's to go round up stragglers" he ordered which the remaining three ODSTs nodded and manned a troop carrier warthog and a Falcon, the small gunship scanned the outskirts an gunned down any aliens while the warthog bounce and sped through the crumbled city streets, Tony was the unlucky ODST to be the driver as he sped through the rubble and haze scanning the surrounding area before moving on, after twenty minutes he was about to give up when he heard a faint sobbing, he moved the warthog closer to the crying to find a young girl crying into her knees next to what was probably her parents before they were tore apart by plasma, he dismounted and moved down to crouch infront of her. "Hey sweetheart" he said removing his helmet and placing it next to him to show her that he was not a threat.

The girl looked up to meet his warm smile before she looked at the bodies only to have her view obstructed by Tony "hey let's get you out of here" he said to the girl who was no older then 7 or 8.

"But what about my mommy and daddy, they hide me from the monsters but they aren't moving" she said innocently making Tony sigh.

"They have passed, I'm sorry but we need to get out of here before the monsters come back" he said before she looked at him then the ODST insignia on his chest plate.

"Your a hell hopper?" She asked 'close enough' he simply nodded "your not gonna let the monsters get me?" She asked and he shook his head before he picked her up, leaving hi helmet on the ground before carrying her to the jeep and sitting her in the passenger seat before he got in the drivers seat and started driving towards the landing zone, from the corner of his eye, he noticed her watching him curious as he dodged cars and wrecks before reaching the LZ.

"Rookie, where the fuck you been we have been radioing you" Major Wilson asked before seeing the little girl. "Oh, good job let's get her aboard, I want you on the gunner seat of the falcon with Sargent Wong to give use cover fire" he asked receiving a nod from Tony before he gave the young girl a smile and mounted the gunship as he watched the last of the survivors and marines board the pelican that was destined for the Battle Cruiser 'Pillar of Autumn' as all the space ports had been glassed an it was the last chance to get off world.

As the pelican and falcon flew through the skies, Wong screamed through the radio about incoming, mere seconds later green plasma torpedoes slammed into the side of the falcon, sending Tony flying out of the gunner seat and into the marsh below. As he pulled himself up he saw the falcon he was just in be slammed with another round, detonating it before slamming into the Pelican it was guarding, bringing both down into the marsh. Working quickly Tony pushed himself through the marsh to find that the pelican had scrapped through the marsh to a dry patch only to come under fire from a group of grunts and jackels which were soon mowed down by Tony, who was standing behind them with an assault rifle.

As he approached the wreck, he saw all the dead marines an civilians who had either died trying to escape the crash and been shot or had died on impact, he was about to leave when he heard a faint whimper and saw the little girl that he rescued a few metres away laying against a tree with plasma burns to her belly and arms, the marine ran over to the girl and checked her over to make sure of her wounds before looking at a radio tower not to far away then back at the girl who was barely alive at this point, taking a deep breath he drew his magnum, placed I against her forehead a she looked at him through tears "I'm sorry I fail you" he said.

BANG

(Out of dreamland)

Tony shot up to a sitting position with tears in his eyes before looking around the room to find the two Alicorns an changeling looking at him with puffy eyes, he then wiped his tears away with his hand before realising his arm was attached "what happened? Where am I? And why are you here?" He asked the princesses.

"You were mortally wounded and my magic was also killing you, you defeated a group of what they called themselves 'the covenant' in which a single survivor was found and interrogated, before he was executed" she said with a sniff "we saved you by altering your body to allow magic, also we ha to put you into a coma and took the chance to see if you were truely an evil man or not... From what we saw, you were not" she said looking down "I am sorry for attacking you and in return I am giving both you and Chrysalis the chance to become citizens of Equestria and also Chrysalis has been pardoned as long as she is to be reformed by you" she said.

"Simple as that?" He asked.

"Simple as that" she replied

"Okay sure" he accepted.

"Chrys let go of me.... Ow ow ow, Chrys!!" Tony said as Chrys had climbed into the bed and begun cuddling him after the princesses left. "Why did you kiss me?" He asked causing her face to go red before looking away then back at him with a warm smile.

"One, i just getting one last taste if your love and two, I really, really like you" she said nuzzling his neck, minding the horn before she wrapped her forelegs around him "you know, in all my 3000 years of living, I had never felt this way before" she said altering her weight so she weighed about 60 pounds "I know that you are not comfortable with aliens but please maybe just give me a mmmm ... " she was saying before Tony kissed we deeply causing her eyes to widen in surprise before she pressed against his lips and closed her eyes, she then pushed her tongue against his lips which she allowed as his hands move to her flanks, he felt his face heating up before they were interrupted by someone clearing their throat, Tony growled as he broke the kiss and looked to see the princess of the sun standing next to the bed with a light blush.

"What do you want?" He growled making her flinch before she smiled.

"I have come to ask to court you" she said.

"No way in hell" he said which mad her chuckle.

"Let me rephrase the question, court me or I send this entire town to the moon" she said closing her eyes and cocking her head slightly with a evil grin.

"Why do you even want to court me?" He asked.

"Imagine the child of a Alicorn and a human" she said before turning to leave. "I'll be back in a week for our date, I expect you to have something nice to wear" she said before teleporting away.

"If I kill her, would it really stop the sun?" He asked Chyrs who nodded making him sigh. "Fucking hell" he said, not noticing that his hands were holding her flank tightly until she give her flank a shake causing him to blush.

"I am sorry sweetheart" she said with a soft smile. "I just wanted to distract you" she said as she kissed his lips lightly before slipping off the bed "let's go home" she said as she offered a hoof which he took and got up only to groan as the blanket fell away to show h was in his underwear but his chest and around where his arm was severed was heavily bruised, once he could stand by himself she retrieved his armour which she used her magic to attach it to him before letting him put his helmet on. He walked slowly as he felt pain I his heel, probably from where he landed after being turned into a baseball, he still hand the jackel's shield on his upper arm which he moved to his wrist before he grabbed his weapon and let Chrys teleport them home. Upon reaching their home, Tony notice a large crate by the door which he opened cautiously only to find it full of firearm magazines for his weapons.

"Looks like the dragon kingdom came through" Chrys said before she lifte the create with her magic and the two entered, only to find a pink Alicorn sitting on their couch.

"Cadence, what are you doing here?" He asked as she turned to look at him with a dark blue mark on her cheek became visible. "What happened?" He asked as he moved forward, removing his helmet before gently placing his hands on her face.

"Shining wasn't happy about all my concern and interest with you, so he showed me how it made him feel" she said with a sniff as she noticed Chrys but before she could react, she floated over an ice pack an placed it on Cadence's cheek. "Why is she here?" She asked calmly.

"She I here because she has saved my life twice and also he is my partner" he said as he ruffled through his armour's pouches.

"Your partner? You mean she is your Marefriend?" She asked curious as Tony pulled out a sachet before looking to Chrys.

"Can you grab some water please" he asked which she nodded before he looked back at Cadence "yea, is that a problem" he asked her.

"At first yes but after I scanned her just then, no it isn't" she said with a warm smile.

"Scanned her?" He asked confused.

"I can sense emotion, thanks to being the Princes of love and all, and I sensed her producing her own love when ever she looked at you" she said as Chrys returned with a glass of water, which he thanked her for before he added the sachet and mixed it with his finger until it became a sticky gel. "Okay this is gonna feel weird as I am gonna have to shave your cheek" he said drawing his knife.

"Okay.... I trust you" she said with a smile which he nodded and pulled out a canister from his rucksack, shook it before spraying some on her cheek before he began to shave the fur off slowly and gently, after he was done, he gave it a gentle wipe before applying the gel to her cheek.

"There now that should control the swelling and reduce it" he said before giving her ear a gentle scratch.

"Thank you Anthony... Can I stay with you for a few days, I don't want to go back just yet" she said causing Tony to scratch his chin.

"We only have the one bed" he said.

"I don't min if she shares out bed, it's big enough" Chrys said giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Why?" He asked.

"Cause when I tried to take over Canterlot, I recieved a lot the abuse from shining when I pretended to be Cadence" she sighed as Tony stroked her side.

"Alright well if you don't mind" h said before Cadence hugged him close and nuzzled his neck.

"Thank you. Thank you, thank you" she repeated which caused him to chuckle and stroke her spine before he stood with both mares in his arms.

"You know, you both are insanely light, like yell Chrys can change her weight but you are really light Cadence" he said making her blush.

"I'm 400 pounds" she said causing Tony to stop and look at her.

"Bull you feel like 60" he said making her blush more.

"Dear, it's part of the evolution, you now have the strength of two Alicorns and a changeling queen" Chrys said causing him to nod before he carried the two to his room.

"I can't believe that Whorse" a voice said.

"Neither can we" Luna replied while laying on her bed "she just wants him for his genetics, when we want him for his compassion as a warrior" Luna sighed as a shadow move to comfort her.

"This reminds me of the time when our beloved sister greedily stole all of our subjects love from us" she said.

"Nightmare that was different!" Luna stated.

"Was it? She wanted to have their love so she could manipulate them into rejecting our night and our beloved bat ponies and Vamponies" Nightmare said causing Luna to sigh.

"We understand but how are we gonna get a moment to have him to ourselves?" Luna asked.

"Well one, let me free and two talk to him in a secluded dream world" she said causing Luna to look at we confused.

"Free thou, do thou think we are that desperate?" She asked.

"It's the only way to cast a protection spell on his mind" she said making Luna sigh.

"That is true, but don't hurt him" she begged.

"Now why would I want to hurt the stallion I admire and adore?" She asked "I love him as much as you do Lulu" he said causing Luna to sigh before nodding as he horn glowed.

'I'm so excited to have a strong play thing once again' a voice said in her head

'Yes and his size doesn't matter as we can change it to suit our needs' Celestia replied in thought

'What over the changeling?' The voice asked

'He can keep her, I just desire his body' Celestia replied with a sultry look 'and if he really is a decent stallion then maybe he will be more to us Molestia' she said

'Yes it shall be good to work out this thousand year dry spell' Molestia stated with a chuckle.

Tony was laying on his belly with his sniper rifle pointing to a encampment which was 2 miles in from of him and 300 metres below him, he had left Cadence spooning Chrys as both wanted to be the bigger spoon in him, which wasn't that bad until Chrys began humping him in her sleep. Which was fine until he remember she was a shapeshifter so he got out if there before she woke up and got some ideas. He didn't mind that sort of stuff, being Bi- Sexual, like most UNSC Marines, as you really couldn't be picky, but he really didn't want to get mounted so he decided to pick up a job from his Dragoness contact, who was called Amber, even though she was blue and black.

She gave him the job of saving slaves from a camp so he accepted it and was off with his DMR an Sniper rifle, both had Dragon rounds which instead of lead rounds, they were these weird crystals that after reading a note, stated that each colour had a different effect, so he just grabbed black ones which he read as armour piercing. His ODST combat suit got taken by a Earthen Smith who was a human except shorter and chunkier, like a dwarf from fantasy novels. The Earthen was named Smitty ad desired to study his suit and repair it for him, that was before Tony was given a hardened dark leather armour set, which he slipped his jacket shield onto his wrist ad his Datapad into his pocket before leaving with his good up.

So he now weighted on the cliff face, his rifle aiming at the grounds, as he had already killed the Archer sentries, his scope scanned back and forth as the slaves were slowly led out, once they were all out, Tony took aim at the three slavers and open fired, killing then causing then to cry out in confusion a their comrades died silently before Tony loaded a green crystal round into his sniper rifle before firing, causing him to teleport to the camp site and activate his shield before drawing his magnum.

The instant Tony appeared, the slaves grabbed dropped weapons and helped him liberate the encampment, oddly enough, all the slaves were Orc, who were all too happy to fight with the ODST as they out numbered the Diamond dogs thirty to one. In only a few moments, the camp was liberated and Tony went around, beheading the diamond dogs and placing the heads in sacks as a tall muscular Orc walked over to him.

"Warrior, why did you come save us when no one else would?" The male Orc asked as Tony looked at him.

"One I hate slavery, and two I was hired to kill these dogs" he said.

"So saving us was a mistake?" He asked.

"Actually it was a bonus" he said taking the Orc by shock.

"Why?" He questioned.

"Simple, you are free now to build a village or town which means I have done a deed to help repay for one of my failures" he said as he collected the last head before he was hugged.

"Thank you Ranger, we will not forget your kindness" the Orc said.

"Ranger?" He asked confused.

"Yes, you are a human right?" He asked.

"Wait you know about humans" he asked.

"Yes, they were the original inhabitants of this world before the majority were wiped out, the remaining few stayed hidden and protected all life on Equis and called them selves rangers until the all died due to either old age or combat" the Orc said "they were the ancestors of many races on Equis and you hold true to their legends ODST" he said with a smile before offering his hand "by the way, my name is Uric Stormhand, chieftain of the Storm Tribe" he said as Tony took his hand.

Tony Bell and I guess I am a Ranger"

Chapter 7 - Friends, Herds and Enemies

Equestria
Location - Sanctuary, Market

Tony was sitting in a chair as Smitty was modifying his arm, apparently Earthens are brilliant with machines, while Smitty was doing that, Amber was sitting next to Tony, talking to him about Rangers as they were a major deal several thousand years ago, also with them was Uric, who was sitting with a female Orc named Mayli, his youngest daughter, who was a bright red skinned heavily armoured woman. After Tony rescued the Storm tribe, he was taken back to their camp and Uric asked if Tony could train his warriors to be stronger and faster, in exchange he would e branded a member of the tribe, which he accepted unfortunantley after the ritual, Uric mentioned a custom that he 'forgot' to mention before. Any hero of the tribe that saves the tribe from danger is to be wedded to a Orc of the opposite gender of the Chieftain's choice, which meant that Mayli was gonna be spending a lot more time with Tony.

"And there ya go my laddy, now ya got ya self some skin, I had used some of that Dragon's scales to make the skin so it is durable as flexible" he said with a strong Viking accent, gesturing Tony's arm which now had skin but the crazy thing was that he could feel the arm.

"Thanks Smitty but why can I feel this arm now? I haven't for at least 9 years" he said shocked.

"Well my dear laddy, I used a magical compound to make not only the skin your skin but also your metal arm, your bones and muscles" he said making Tony look at Him shocked before touching his own bare chest with his new green scaled arm.

"It's soft?" He stated slightly confused.

"Of course it is laddy, it's made from dragon scale, which feels soft but strong when ya smelt it right" he said making Tony chuckle.

"Nice, now Uric, I know I rescued you and all and you feel indebted to me but you don't have to and you don't need to marry your child off" he said smiling softly.

"Oh but I do, as she doesn't take interest in males well that was until you tore that Diamond Dog in two with your bare hands." He said as Mayli smiled at him before he groaned and buried his face in his hands.

"Chrys I gonna kill me for cheating on her" he said.

"Why would she? Your starting a harem, which is normal here on Equis" Amber said making him look a her confused

"Ai, I have about a dozen wives myself, four ponies, two bovines, a Diamond Bitch, two Dragonesses and three Earthen" Smitty said catching everyone in the room off guard.

"Say what Smitty?! You have two Dragonesses?" Amber said shocked.

"Ai, they are quite rough, but nutin' a Earthen smith can't handle" he said with a chuckle.

"Wait so polygamy is a thing here?" Tony asked.

"Yes it is, seeing the ratio is 20 to 1 on average of all the species out together" Uric said.

"So the ratios are different for different species?" Tony asked getting a nod.

"So ya see laddy, ya can bend Mayli over when ever ya like and Chrys wouldn't mind, heck she came around town today asking if any other females were interest in ya" Smitty said. "Oh and also my friend from Minos has finished fixin' up ya house" he added "also added a King Dragon double bed, oh and ya buddy Inferno came by, dropping of some shredded dragon skin to my shop" Smitty said.

"Who?" Tony asked.

"My little brother, the black and red Dragon who made your ammunition" Amber said getting a nod from Tony.

"Okay well I guess I should get home and shower as I smell like smoke, gore as sweat" he said getting up and grabbing his top which he pulled on before turning to smile at them.

"I shall pack my things and be back here in a weeks time my dear Fiancé" Mayli said in a strong confident voice before she left with Uric.

"Brilliant" he said sarcastically before pulling on his leather armour an grave hi weapons. "Hey Smitty, got my armour done yet?" He asked.

"Sorry laddy but it's quite difficult wen I have never seen the metal ya armour uses before, the closest thing to its strength in Mythril and that stuff is hard to work with at times for heavy plating" he said scratching his ginger beard.

"It's cool Smitty, I'll stick with my leather, hey what kind is this anyway?" He asked.

"Hydra, so don't worry about damages as it will simply fix itself" he said getting a nod from Tony as Amber and Tony left.

"So the bounties for the Slaver group has been sent from Diamond City so they should arrive in a few days." She said with a smile as they reached her home. "I'll take my fee from it before I sen it to your home" she said getting a nod from him before she patted his back an he left an arrived at his home.

As he entered and went to his living room, he was created with a very plush and expensive looking room, which matched the hallway. The moment he sat down on the large red and gold couch he was tackled by a pink blur an received plenty of nuzzles "your back safe, I'm so happy" Cadence said in a slightly sad voice.

"Hey why are you sad?" He asked as he rotated so she was laying on him, and he noticed her a bit teary.

"I was so worried when I found out that you were going to attack a Diamond Dog slaver camp" she said as he stroked her cheek with his dragon arm, making her gasp and grab it with he hooves. "Oh my Luna, your arm, it real except its a dragons arm?" She asked confused

"Thank Smitty, he was the one who made my arm like this and guess what? I can feel with it again" he said stroking her cheek.

"It so warm" she said nuzzling it before smiling at him. "Um I have something to show you" she said making him raise an eyebrow.

"What is it Cadence?" He asked effort she sighed and her horn glowed, moments later, her pink fur was replaced with cuts and bruises the ran the length of her body. "What the fuck happened to you?" He asked sitting up and examining her with a gently touch.

"The reason I really came here is because I found Shining in bed with another mare " she said with a sob.

"But isn't this world polygamy based?" He asked.

"Yes one can sign up for a monogamous marriage which shinning wanted after he wa released from Chrys's control, but I found out he has been cheating because he wanted the thrill and when I demanded him to stop or to let us change the marriage agreement, he... He.... He hurt me" she said as she began crying into Tony's shoulder.

"Then why are you showing me this instead of your aunts?" He asked.

"Because I want to be with you instead as you are nicer and also you are the only one that can.... 'Deal' with him" she said.

"You discuss the whole joining my relationship with Chrys while I go deal with Shining" he said which she so be and nodded as Tony got off the couch and headed for his room, Chrys had told him that she managed to swipe all the weapons from the crashed Scrab before Celestia moved in. Tony walked to his closet and opened it to find activate camouflage units, shield units, grenades, brute weapons, plasma weapons and master piece, the Gravity hammer, which he took along with a spiker and several spike grenades and a active camouflage unit before heading down stairs to bump into Chrys who was overly excited.

"You want to start a herd?" She asked ignoring his weapons.

"Yea I'm curious really" he said making her smile before she kissed him.

"Thank you Tony, I always wanted to be in a natural one and also here" she said floating a black crystal to him "this will bring you back after you deal with Shinning" she said fete kissing his cheek "have fun" she said before teleporting him to just outside the Canterlot,

As Tony appeared, he instantly activated his Active Camouflage unit on his wrist before pulling up his cowl and hood a he headed to the throne room, Cadence must have told Chrys where Shining must have been for her to send him here.

(Celestia POV)

Celestia was sitting on her throne, next to a very tired and annoyed Luna, she had been awoken as Prince Shining had arrived, stating that his beautiful wife Princess Cadence, had been foalnapped, he was explaining until the throne room doors blasted open in a wave if splinters, the doors flew off their hinges showing nothing but a heavily shrouded figure, Celestia looked to Luna who looked at her before looking back to see the guards walk over confused as they couldn't sense the figure, who stoked passed them before grabbing Shining by the horn and lifting him for the ground before lowering it's shroud to show it was Tony catching everypony by surprise, in hi right scaled hand was a massive war hammer with a hooked blade on the opposite side of its head.

"Tony what are thou doing?" Luna questioned.

"This stallion has beaten and abused my friend Cadence, she is currently a my place, having her injuries cared for" he said causing both princesses eyes to widen.

"He is lying, he foalnapped her" Shining said as Luna walked over to Tony ad placed her horn against his forehead, moments later she opened her eyes and growled angrily at Shining who shrank under her gaze as he hung.

"Dearest sister, Cadence is heavily beaten and scarred by her husband as has moved herds." She stated giving Tony a wink before returning to her throne. "Tia, would you like me to how you the memory?" She asked as she gained a nod from Celestia before Celestia's mind was filled with the memory of what happened causing her pupils to shrink before turning to Shining then looked at Tony and gave a nod.

"Can one of you two cast a constant healing spell until I am finished with him?" Tony asked which Luna eagerly nodded as her horn glowed, surrounding Shining in a blue aura, which soon faded before Tony dropped the stallion and slammed hi massive hammer into his side, sending him into the far wall with a burst of energy before launching forward to grab the stallion and throw him back in front of the princesses as he placed his boot on Shining's back before looking at the mares "it's your decision" he stated as he drew his spiker, gave Luna a nod, who disabled the spell before he fired 6 inch long heated spikes into his back knees an curb stomped his horn "you get to decide his fate.

Chapter 8 - History and Cloths

Equestria
Location - Canterlot, castle

"I believe I have come to a decision of your sentence Prince, you shall have your titles and ranks stripped from you, your name will be black marked in the Equestrian Records as a stallion who attempted to murder an Equestria Princess, the your family will be notified of your sin and all your wealth shall be donated to Cadence and your family. " she said looking to Luna.

"After this is complete, thou shall be transformed into a mare before thou shall be trapped in heat for the next year but thou shall also be enchanted so that thou will never be able to touch another pony or thou self again, along with the fact that thou shall be banished from Equestria and every night thou shall sure nightmares" Luna said before guards came and dragged him away, still with the spikes in his knees. Once Celestia, Luna and Tony were all alone, Luna cleared her throat gaining Tony's attention. "Tony, we desire to know of thou's military history". She said making Tony sigh.

"Are you sure?" He asked getting a nod for both "okay well I'll keep it short. I fake my age as joined the marine core at the age of 15, I didn't get found out until I was 18 but at that point no one really cared, my very first mission at 16 resulted in my arm getting crushed by a 2 ton monster, which gave me nightmares for a couple months, I watched the planet I was on get glassed when I was 17 which cause a all of sleep even to this day, at the age of 19 I managed to get the rank of captain which apparently because I just didn't die, I was given an entire battalion under my command, that was until I reach 22 when a single mistake caused 15,762 human lives to be lost along with the Destroyer 'Mercy', I was arrested and put in front of a military court, who decided that seeing that we were loosing too many good fighters that they couldn't loose another so I got stripped of all my medals and rank before being shipped to the ODST and ending up on Reach at the age of 23, after that was lost, I ended up here at 24" he said leaving both monarchs with their jaws hanging.

"Your so young? And yet you have been through so much!" Celestia stated.

"Why did thou join the Marine core?" Luna asked.

"Because my Mother an Father fought an died of a planet known as Harvest and really didn't want to stay on my home called Luna until the Covenant came and killed me" he said as Luna's face turned slightly pink.

"Thou are from a world known as Luna?" She asked leaning forward.

"Well it's actually a moon" he said making her smile "um may I go now?" He asked as he received a nod from Celestia and Luna before he used his teleport crystal to leave.

"My stars, he is quite damaged" Celestia said to her sister who wasn't paying attention "Lulu?" She asked nudging her.

" what? Um 37" she stated looking at her sister who had a confused look on her face. "Yes dear sister?" She asked playing it off.

"Um I said that he seems quite damaged" Celestia said.

"Then that just means that he needs some pony to help fix him" she said with a smirk "and we intend to be that pony, along with thou dear sister" she said with a smile.

"I don't know, he doe need a lot of work" she said.

"Well we shall work on his nightmares when we can while thou tempts him with thou's cake filled posterior" Luna teased.

"It's not cake filled" Celestia said looking at her flank quickly.

"Oh then it is just chubby then" he said before teleporting away as Celestia threw a chair at her.

"It's not chubby" she muttered.

'No it is, it's our best feature' Molestia said getting a growl from Celestia 'what I'm just being honest' she said

'Yea what ever' Celestia replied

'So Lulu has a crush on our human' Molestia said making Celestia smile. 'Why are you smiling?'

'Because Lulu wants to finally have a relationship and also it saves paperwork' she said.

Location - Canterlot, Luna's Chambers

'Did you really have to make fun of her ass?' Moon asked as Luna giggle

"What it's as big as our moon" she stated as a shadowy must left Luna to materialise in front of her.

"Fine then what's this about wanting to be in a herd with her?" Moon asked confused.

"Saves paperwork" Luna said before laying in her bed.

"Your kidding right?" Moon asked.

"Have thou seen the paperwork needed for an individual to marry an Alicorn?, this way we can at least duplicate the paperwork he has sighed to save time" she said with a yawn.

"Right that still doesn't explain why you want her in a herd with Luna boy" Moon said.

"Because he Is the only one that she takes a second glance at" Luna said. "Now shush, we are sleeping" she said before Moon re-entered her body.

Equestria
Location - Sanctuary, Tony's home

Tony had arrived home to find that Chrys had take Cadence to the medical centre, he wanted to check on her except he still smelt like blood and sweat from that morning so he took the chance to clean himself up while the other two were away. As he got out of the shower, he wrapped a towel around himself as he realised that he had no cloths, just as he thought that he heard a knock from his front door.

As he opened the door with the towel around his waist he was confronted by three white unicorns, one had a suit and a monocle on, the next was one from the Crystal Empire with her purple curly mane and tail and the last had a pink mane and a more slender face then the other two "can I help you?" He asked the three, the two mares of the group looked at him mixed looks, while the stallion stood tall, even if he was only waist high on the muscular scarred dragon armed human.

"Why yes, are you Anthony?" The stallion asked.

"Yes I am, why do you ask?" He asked.

"We have been sent by Princess Celestia to make you a suit for your date with her" he said making him cock an eyebrow.

"Um sure, come in" he said gesturing the three into his living room.

"Okay so we just need to take some measurements so please, remove your towel" the stallion said as Tony cocked his eyebrow and looked at the two mares.

"Right only if they aren't looking" he said pointing to the mares.

"It's nothing my sister and Rarity haven't seen before" the stallion said a Tony groaned and dropped his towel. "Oh... Wow.... Um okay" the stallion said with a odd look as the mare tuned bright red.

"Just get this over with" he growled, catching all their attentions.

"Sorry it's just different for what I am use to, for one you have no sheath, second your head is different and thirdly it's bigger then the average stallion." The white one with the pink mane said.

"Well I'm not a stallion so let's get this over with" he said which received a nod for the three as they measured him, "also I hope It isn't any trouble but would you be able to make me some casual cloths a I only have my armour sets" he asked.

"Of course my boy, oh and I forgot to mention, my name is Fancy Pants, the mare with the slender muzzle an pink mane is My sister Fleur and this lovely mare with the purple mane is my Fiancé Rarity" he said a the other two gave a bow. "I must add that you are much different then a minotour or elf, your body has considerably more muscle then and elf and Minotour but it doesn't bulge on you, if anything it feels tightly packed" he said poking Tony's calf muscle.

"That pretty normal for humans," he said before he felt a hoof poke his right arm.

"Why is one of your arms covered in dragon scale?" Fleur asked.

"I lost my arm a while back and got a metal robotic replacement, my fried Smitty decided that it should have skin so he used the flesh of a dragon I killed a few days ago" he said getting gasps.

"You killed a dragon?!" Rarity asked. "Why?" She added.

"Yes I did and it was to save this town" he said.

"Wow you are like a knight in shining armour" Rarity said making him chuckle.

"My armour stopped shining a long time ago" he added as they three finished, letting him put his towel back on before Fancy came over with a book an handed it to him.

"Please select a style you like" he said as he floated a marker over to Tony, which Tony selected what he wanted before turning to Fancy.

"Would I be able to get some with this insignia on them?" He asked pointing to the ODST insignia tattoo on his forearm.

"Why of course" fancy said as his horn glowed as surrounded the tattoo before a copy appeared on a sheet of paper. "There, these cloths will be done by Wednesday, which is two days" fancy said before he left with the other mares.

"Thank you" he said a he went to close the door only to have it pushed open by Chrys and Cadence, Cadence being in bandages and a cast on her left wing. "Shit was it that bad?" He asked getting a nod from the two as they wen upstairs after Tony locked the front door.

"Yea he managed to break my wing but I couldn't feel it as the nerve ending was damaged, " Cadence said with a frown until Tony scratched her gently on her head.

"Well he got his just dessert" he said before he sat on his bed with Chrys and Cadence and explained what happened and his punishment.

Chapter 9 - Orc and Elf relations, Nightmares

No-Mans Land (two days later)
Location - 3 miles south of Sanctuary, Storm Orc Tribe caravan

Tony was standing onto of a carriage that contained the dozen youngsters of the tribe, he volunteered escort them to Sanctuary where Mayor Sweet Heart was more then happy to let them take up residences in the destroyed section of the town, she was especially excited by that fact that not only were there warriors who would be stronger Guards but there were miners and builder too, convincing Uric was incredibly simple in comparison to Sweet Heart. Tony had received another set of armour from Smitty, it was a medium plate armour made from giant sand Crab's exoskeleton that inhabited No mans land, along with Tony's armour, he had brought his sniper rifle, shotgun and Brute shot.

It had been two days since Shining was convicted and a day since Tony and Cadence watched from a stage in Canterlot as Princess read off Shining's crimes, no pony believed her until Cadence took centre stage, the second she was seen, there was an uproar by the crowd, they all wanted Shining's blood, some even wanted him to hang for attacking a princess and that's when Shining lunged at Cadence with a shiv in mouth, only to be kicked in the side of the head by Tony, when the crowd looked at the human in fear and awe, Celestia announced that he was Captain Anthony Bell, which annoyed Tony as he wasn't a captain anymore and didn't deserve it. Shining was dragged back into the centre of the stage before he was transformed into a mare, then he was put into heat followed by nightmare spell along with a phantom spell before he was teleported away. Celestia then announced that his Roche and property would become the property of Cadence and his family,

The caravan had received little to no problems, save for a giant sand worm that ended up with a active plasma grenade down its throat, causing all of the Orcs to gasp in awe and horror as the worm's head detonated in a wave of blue fire. The rest of the ride was uneventful as they reached Sanctuary, where the guard lead the orcs to the spot designated for them as Jason headed home with Mayli in toe, she smiled as she walked even as she stood a good foot taller then Tony, who was 6 foot 5. As they arrived, Tony was greeted by Fleur who was wearing a saddle bag and a soft smile as she watched the human and Orc enter the house with her.

"Okay Tony, please try these on" he said as he began to strip, forgetting about the Orc in the room who was taking her chance to inspect her fiancé with a grin. Tony reached his boxers as he tried on his suit, it was a simple black on white suit with Celestia's Cutie mark over his heart.

"It fits well" he said doing several stretches to check the stitching and how much room he had before giving a nod "damn I haven't worn a suit for over a decade" he sighed as he watched Fleur levitate the rest of his clothes out of her saddlebags and placed them down on the couch as Tony changed out of his suit, folding it up nearly before slipping on a tan shirt and shorts with a smile.

"Another satisfied customer" she said with a smile. "Don't worry about payment as it was paid for by the crown" she said as Tony walked her to the door "you know if you ever want to catch up, ask the princess about me" she said before leaving.

Shook his head when the two were back inside "so let's how you to the rest of the herd" he said to Mayli.

"Th... That sounds like a good idea" she said shyly.

'Shy is shy and yet she is covered in plate armour and the tallest and most likely the strongest of her tribe' he thought as he led her up stairs to find Chrys asleep with her head hanging off the bed while Cadence was preening her good wing. The moment Cadence say Mayli, she freaked and attempted to blast Mayli, unfortunately, Tony was in the way.

Equestria (next day)
Location - Sanctuary, Medical centre

Tony groaned as he came to laying on a hospital bed connected to a heart monitor, he had bandages over his chest which made him raise an eyebrow. As he looked around he noticed that Cadence was sleeping on a chair, laying her forelegs and head on his legs which made him smile as he reached down with a grunt and stroked her mane causing her to coo in delight before she suddenly sat up and looked at him upset. "I'm sorry, I sorry, I'm sorry" she said wrapped her forelegs around his head as she laid on him, unfortunately, the hospital beds were not built to hold a 400 pound Alicorn and a 150 pound human, the bed gave out causing Tony to groan as the pink Alicorn landed on him.

"It's fine Cadence, you were surprised" he said stroking her cheek as she sniffled.

"But I blasted you out the window, and down the slope behind your house" she said with a frown.

'There is a slope behind my place?' He thought "it's fine Candy" he said causing her to blush.

"Candy?" She asked

"What? You don't like it?" He asked as she shook her head "good I'm glad" he said.

"So why didn't you tell us that you were engaged?" She asked.

"It was kind of spontaneous on her father's part" he said as a Zebra in doctor fatigues entered the room, looked at the destroyed bed before groaning and leaving the room.

"So Mayli is really tall and shy" Cadence said as she got comfortable.

"Yea, how did Chrys react?" He asked.

"She wouldn't stop talking about how Mayli's teats were twice the size of your head" she said causing Tony to laugh. "Um so she go the impression that I am in your herd?" She said.

"Well yea, you wanted to join" he said "unless you didn't really want to?" He said.

"No no no I do, I really do, I have always wanted to be in one, it's just didn't think you were comfortable with being so open to have a second hand mare as your partner" she said sadly.

"And? Your beautiful, who gives a fuck if your second hand or what ever, you have a chance to start a clean slate" he said making her smile and kiss his cheek.

"Thank you" she said as Mayli and Chrys entered the room.

"And that is why I am not allowe to be admitted here" Chrys stated a she was 894 pounds.

"Yea, so did you know about the slope?" Tony asked.

"Yes I did, didn't you?" Chrys said with a smile as Tony got up from the broken bed with Cadence in his arms before placing her down on her feet, she stood about a foot shorter then him.

"No i didn't" he said with a smile as Mayor Sweet Heart burst in.

"Tony we need your help" she said a he nodded an followed her, His herd followed him as Chrys used her magic to summon his armour onto him as they reached a room will a tall male human, except the human'a eyes were rotated and he had pointed ears, not to mention he was covered in wounds. "Sir, this is Sanctuary's Captain of the Guard to help you" she said getting a raised eyebrow from Tony, "Sanctuary didn't have a guard captain and seeing as you killed a dragon just after you arrived, I made you Captain" she said before leaving as Tony approached the male.

"Hello there Sir, my name is Anthony I'm a...." He was saying before ring cut off.

"You are a human, or Ranger as they liked to be called, my name is Bri'nak and I am an Elf" he said weakly. "My village I under attack from Caribou forces, please help" he begged.

"What's a Caribou?" He asked confused.

As he said that, Chrys transforms into a deer. "This is a Caribou, they are incredibly racist and sexist, " she said.

"Please Ranger, you must save my home, out population is 70% female and the Caribou are taking out women as sex slaves while killing our few men" he said as Tony growled before turning the Chrys. "Wait here" he said handing Tony a black home stone which he nodded.

"I'll save them, Chrys take us home so I can gear up" he asked as she nodded and teleported his heard back to his home before he instantly went to his armoury and attached his Hydra leather armour, which Smitty upgraded to have a bandoleer on its chest and holster for all his small fire arms, he packed DMR magazines into several pockets before he slung his DMR before grabbing his Spiker and several clips that he slotted into spare bandoleer pockets. He then moved to grab several grenades, ranging from frag to spike. Lastly he grabbed a shield unit and attach it to his wrist before grabbing his gravity hammer and plasma pistol as he returned into the room to see the three looking at him in shock as he pulled his hood and cowl up before activating the home stone and vanishing.

No-Mans Land
Location - Elven Village
Status - under siege
ODST's Orders - kill all Caribou, rescue Elves

The captain of the Elves was currently on her knees, her armour punctured from magic bolts and swords, most of the village was captured and gathered in the town square, the remaining of her guard and her Princess were fighting in the small castle nearby, Mil'nak had sent her son to go get help and was hoping that he could find help as a tall brown Caribou in steel armour that was decorated in runes, he was the bastard commander of the attack and he was currently selecting his 'trophies', he marked each with a red paint.

All seemed lost until Mil sensed it, the faint energy that a Home stone produced, 'Why is Bri coming home?' She thought as she saw the flash of light in front of her, blinding her and everyone else but the sight in front of her when her vision returned chilled her to the bone.

"Standing almost 6 and a half feet tall was a being covered in Hydra leather, it had weird metal objects that remind her of Griffion Crossbows but sleek and refined, the most defining feature was the 6 foot war hammer which it's head crackle with energy along with having a blade on the back of the head, after a few moments the being was struck with magic from all sides only for the spells to detonate harmlessly against it before it scanned the area with it's mismatched eyes before locking on the nearest Caribou. Before anyone could react, the being was upon the deer and brought it's war hammer down in a diagonal swing, smacking the soldier with a loud boom, but instead of knocking the Deer down. The Caribou's upper body was turned to paste as it's armour shattered from the strike, sending its lower half flying with ogre spewing from it. The other Caribou were left speechless as the being continue to attack, killing Caribou left right and centre in brutal ways, some where crushed into the ground, some sent flying and some bisected when it used the bladed side of the hammer.

"What are you doing you fools?! Attack this freak with everything we've got" the Commander yelled as he drew his sword along with the dozen remaining Caribou, "in the name of King Dainn we shall sla.....ahhhh!" He was saying when a glowing 8 inch spike impaled itself into his front left leg, causing hi to cry out and fall to the ground, Mil looked at the being which was holding a small cross bow that instead of the bow strings, hand to curved blades on its muzzle. The Caribou roared in anger and charged as the being shot them with spikes, killing them or mortally wounding then before they could get close, the few that did ended up with their throats sliced open or loosing their head all together. In a matter of minutes, the army of 40 elite Caribou soldiers that over powered two hundred of Elves, now laid dead or dying in the dirt as the unknown creature walked to each surviving Caribou and put them out of their misery until he reached the Commander and placed it's boot against his throat and crushed it, leaving him to drown on his own blood.

"That was surprisingly easy, fuck I didn't even need most of my gear" the creature said in a masculine voice before it turned to face the elves as it holstered it's weapons and removed it's hood and cowl to show it was a human. "I've got to say I'm a little disappointed" he sighed as he placed his massive hammer on the groin after rotating a piece of it, disabling it enchantment before he holster his crossbow, he stretched before approaching Mil. "Hello, a guy named Bri'nak asked me to come give you lot a hand, so here I am and I have got to ask, how did these deer over power you?" He asked, at the mention of her son, Mil looked at him with her utmost attention.

"They poisoned our water supply with a temporary magic inhibitor, and then attacked us during the night, there is still their honest guard who are after our Princess," she said as she noticed the group of ten gold armoured Caribou walking towards them with several Elf guards and a young female elf in platinum plate armour. "Oh no" Mil said as the human turned to look at the honour guard before drawing a purple C shaped object and rose to his full height.

"What have you don't freak?!" The Caribou with the purple crest to his armour demanded as the human stepped towards the group.

"I killed them" he said as the Captain of the honour Guard growled and ordered two of his soldiers to attack, only for them to be hit in the chest by green energy, which proceeded to turn their gold plating on their chests to molten slag making them scream out in pain an drop to the ground trying to pull the plating off as it melted into their chests and hooves. Everyone looked shocked at what just happened as the human continued his advance, blasting the two fallen Guards in the head, killing them instantly before he stopped and produced a blue orb that resembled a Luna Stone.

"Wait we will give you the prisoners if you give us that Luna stone?" The captain asked as his guards pushed the elves forward.

'Please don't give it to them' mil begged in her head

The human simply shrugged and passed the stone to the captain, who caught it as the elves made it to human. "What have you done?!" The Princess asked.

"Haha now you shall pay for what to have done frea.... Why is it glowing?" The captain was stating until the stone began to glow on his hoof, he tried to drop it but it was stuck, causing him to freak out a little. "Help me you fools" he order the remaining honour guard, who surrounded him. A moment later a massive explosive erupted from he middle of them, sending them back in all directions, there armour sizzling with their flesh as they laid dead.

"Oh I forgot to mention, that was a plasma grenade not a moon rock " he said as he turned to the Princess who looked at him shocked. He offered his hand with a soft smile "my name is Tony" he said as the princess took his hand still dumbstruck.

"Princess Elise" she replied.

Equestria (one day later)
Location - Sanctuary, Tony's home

Tony had returned after saving the village of Evergreen as he ha to talk to the Mayor about bringing the remaining 100 Elves to Sanctuary as Evergreen wasn't safe, between majority of their guard dead, their water supply poisoned as te Caribou watching them. He manage to convince her as the Elves of Evergreen apparently were brilliant hunters, cloths makers and Doctors, which Sanctuary needed a their only medical professional was an Alchemist Zebra name who was nicknamed Strip as no one could pronounce his name.

Things went well at first, until the Orcs caught wind of the Elves moving in, apparently a good thousand or two years ago, Elves enslaved the Orc race. Of course the Orcs were extremely bitter about it and the Elves didn't help by being up themselves, but they quickly changed their tunes when they were confront by Tony, he managed to get a start on the two races making friends.

Tony was currently laying in his bed, deciding to sleep in for the first time in over a decade, nothing was gonna get him out of his bed until he decided that he wanted to, Chrys agreed with the Idea and was currently using him as a pillow as Cadence was out with Mayli. He woke up at 8am so he decided simply to stroke his hand down Chrys' spin slowly and repeatedly while laying on the cloud bed, Chrys seamed to love this idea as she was literally purring and slightly drooling on him as she slept. It was peaceful for the veteran, no war to worry about, no danger attacking the town, just him and his head mare relaxing until his bedroom door burst open a Uric with three Orcs and Elise with four Elves walked in, the sudden noise scared Chrys awake as she jumped, slicing Tony's cheek with her horn. Tony growled as he sat up and looked at the two arguing races, it took a moment for them to notice the pissed off human pulling his magnum from his best side table, he looked at the 8 people in his room with a dark look as blood trickled down his cheek. "Now that I have your attention.... What the fuck is going on?" He asked in a calm voice.

"Um I'm sorry Ranger but I just found out that Uric has arranged for you to marry an Orcish Princess" Elise stated causing Tony to look at he confused.

"The child of an Orc Chief is called a prince or princess" Uric explained getting a nod from Tony.

"Yes well anyway, I couldn't have you married off to and Orc and have their kind have a significance advantage if they leave Sanctuary and decide to take you using Mayli" Elise said getting a glare from Uric.

"Why would we leave Sanctuary or take advantage of Tony, buck he is dead set on live here" Uric stated.

"I still don't like it," Elise said crossing we arms.

"The what is going to make you feel better?" Tony asked her.

"If you married an Elf of equal or higher status" she said with a smile.

"Um okay fine then do you have any recommendations?" He asked.

"Yes I will have then over in a few moments." She said.

"No tomorrow" he said.

"What why?" She asked confused.

"Well this is the first day in a 11 years that I had a chance to sleep in and relax, so I am going to enjoy it with the mare I care about" he said as Chrys nuzzled him "so come over tomorrow please, and we will deal with it tomorrow, alright?" He asked which got a nod from the Elves and Orcs before they apologised and left. Tony placed his magnum back in his bedside draw before he winched as the wound on his cheek was healed.

"Sorry I got you sweetie" Chrys said with a smile as Tony smiled and laid back down in the centre of the bed and Chrys retook her position, not a moment later a pink Alicorn entered the room with a big smile on her face followed by an Orc female.

"Hey you two" Tony said as cadence nuzzled his cheek before stepping out of her shoes and climbing into the be next to him. "What did you both get up to today?" He asked as Mayli stripped her plate armour and laid behind Chrys. 'Shit this is gonna get more complicated with a fucking elf and another Alicorn' he thought.

"Oh nothing, we met Smitty who offered Mayli work and a tutorship as she has decent blacksmithing skills" Cadence said as he looked to May and smiled at her as she hide her face in Chrys's mane causing Chrys to make a confused face.

"I still have to get use to this" Chrys said.

"You and me both" Tony said as Cadence placed her muzzle in the crook of his neck and relaxed. "You better not start licking me again Candy" he sai making her giggle.

"I was grooming you" she said.

"Yea but you licking my ears feels weird" he stated as she giggled. Tony smiled back as he felt something clasp his hand, it was a larger hand which made him look at Mayli who squeaked when he did.

"It's fine don't be frightened" he said with a smile as she nodded. After a few moments Tony was asleep along wit the others, Chrys was being spooned and cuddled by Mayli which Chrys seemed to enjoy.

Eureka Province (5 years earlier)
Location - northern Trench line
Status - Heavy Covernant fire.
Marine's orders -hold the line.

"Lieutenant! We lost the western AA gun"

"Take it back, we can't loose those guns"

"Lieutenant! Wraith inbound"

"Mark them for artillery"

"Lieutenant! Covernant forces pushing the western end"

"Kill the Elites and let the grunts and jackels scatter"

These were the noises Tony heard to realise that he was reliving the day he lost his best friend from boot camp, he looked around the small command bunker as marine runners came in and out of the entrance to scream status update at him, his best friend 'Sargent Wilken' was standing with him looking at the holographic battle ground, Tony remembered that this battle was an exceptionally taxing one, as Tony hadn't slept red in a few days, he sighed as he was stuck for the ride when two flashes of light appeared next to him, showing Luna and a Black Alicorn floating next to him.

"Hello Tony, we are happy to see thou again" Luna said as the black Alicorn looked around the memory just as a team of marines came in shouting about Evac had arrived.

"That's great to hear, um who is your friend?" He asked gaining the black alicorn's attention.

"My name is Nightmare Moon, it's a pleasure to meet a being that was born on a moon" she said with a bow.

"The pleasure is mine Moon" he said making her smile and Luna growl slightly.

"We have come to ask thou a question" she said just as a massive explosion happened around them, catching her attention, they turned
Watch several tall elites drop into the trench with energy swords and begin cutting down marines, the elites were being taken down just a fast as one lunged at Tony, only to be intercepted by Wilken, Wilken was quickly impaled and thrown out of the trench as Tony fired his shotgun into the elites face repeatedly. The dream suddenly ended with a flags of Moon's horn.

"I am sorry about making to relive that war but I was simply curious" she said looking at Tony.

"It's fine I guess but don't do it again as I don't want to see my friends die again" he said making her frown as Luna poked him.

"We have a question?" Luna asked.

"Yes?" Tony asked.

"Will thou court us and Nightmare Moon?" She asked.

Chapter 10 - Gala, New Friends

Dream World
Location - Limbo

"Will thou court us and Nightmare Moon?" She asked.

"Sure why not" he shrugged

"Excellent, we shall work out the details" Luna said before I a flash of light, both Alicorns vanished.

"It's not like your sister asked a week ago" he added when they were gone, moments before the world around him collapsed.

No-man's land (next morning)
Location - 2 miles south of Sanctuary.

"I think we lost them" a Griffon in gold and red armour said panting.

"We can't be too careful dad" a brown and white Griffoness stated while she also panted.

"I just can't believe the king would deem me, General Black Beak. A traitor, it just doesn't make sense Gilda" he sighed as he sat to catch his breath. After a few moments of rest, the two were ready to move on as a Diamond Dog ran in screaming before he went stiff and collapsed on the ground with a knife sticking out of the back of his head. Black moved closer slowly to the corpse as a leather armoured creature entered the cave, removed it's knife from the corpse before cutting off the corpse's head. Black cleared his throat, catching the being's attention who simply waved before turning to leave, before it made it out the entrance, Black moved in front of it. "Please help us" the Griffon said, swallowing his pride.

"Okay follow me" the being said as the two griffons followed the creature that had odd objects on its armour, along with a bloody sack that seemed to be full. The being led them a few miles to a large town filled with many different species. "Welcome to Sanctuary, find a place to settle" it said before walking off.

"Hey wait, your suppose to protect us" Black said rushing forward and in front of him.

"No you said you wanted my help so I brought you here" it said stepping passed him as continue on to a market, Gilda was fascinated while her dad continued to argue with the creature, at one point he shoved the being, which resulted in the being grabbing Black's wrist and pinning him to the ground with his arm against his back. "Don't annoy me Birdy" it said as he released Gilda's dad before reaching a Blue and black Dragoness before he handed over the bloody sack which she checked and nodded.

"Please.... At least protect my daughter from the Griffon king" Black said as tears formed in his eyes, this seemed to catch the hooded being's attention as it walked over and helped Black to his paws.

"If you join my guard then you and your child may live in Sanctuary under my protection" it said which Black nodded, the creature laughed before lowering it hood and cowl to show it was male.

"I will protect you with my life my lord" Black said with a bow causing him to laugh.

"You misunderstand, I am the Captain of Sanctuary's guard" he said with a smile before turning to the Dragoness "Amber, is there any spare houses?" He asked.

"Yes next to your manor Tony" she said as Tony smiled.

"Use the bounties to purchase it in this Griffon's name and ask Smitty I he could call in his internal designer friend from Minos to give it a once over" he asked as Amber nodded before he walked out with the two griffons, as they walked, they suddenly became surrounded by black armoured Geiffons.

"Oh no, they have found us" Black said with a whimper before Tony drew a object from a leather pouch and aimed it at the first, with a bang the first of a dozen were dead.

"Leave now or die" he said and that when Gilda noticed the amount of Elves aiming Bows or Orcs with weapons drawn "you shall die before you move" he said as the assassins looked around before they all launched at Tony and the two, in moment the world slowed down for Gilda as she watched the creature in front of her draw his large knife as he shot, stabbed and killed the enemy Griffons. After a few moments, the dozen Griffons were laying in the ground dead, dying or heavily wounded while not a single scratch was on Gilda or Black.

"Alright Birdy, I have a job for you" he said placing his boot on one's chest, the griffon spat at him so he shot it in the he's before moving to the next "I got a job for you" he said " I need you to go to your boss and tell him or her to go fuck themself and that if they try to mess with Sanctuary again, I'll kill them" he said as the griffon nodded rapidly before Tony let it go free, a dozen guard came and dragged off the corpses or surviving griffons as Tony continued to lead Gilda an Black to a large two story house with plenty of balconies. "Here you go" he said .

"Thank you" Black said bowing which Gilda followed up and did the same before the two entered their home.

Equestria
Location - Sanctuary, Tony's home.

"Master Tony,Princess Elise is here" a pony mare said before reviving a nod and left.

"Why did you hire a maid again? We don't make a mess?" He asked Chrys.

"She had a nice flank" she replied.

"So you hired her cause she had a nice ass?" He asked.

"Yes, imagine how good it would be to rut it" she said.

"But your a fe.... Oh right changeling" he said face palming before Elise entered the bedroom with three Elven women.

"Hello Tony I see you got a maid" she said pleased.

"It was Chrys's idea" he said before looking at the other elves with a raised brow.

"She has good taste, anyway these are my daughters" she said.

"Daughters? You means sister right, you don't look old enough to be their mother" he said making Elise blush.

"Elves can live for a very very long time, any way" she said as she pointed to the girls. "In order , the first is Amanda, Saint of the Hunt, next is Eliza, Saint of magic and last is Lucy, said of battle" she said pointing to the leather armoured one with a bow, then one in robes with a sword then the last with plated armour and wielding a sword an shield.

"Saints?" He asked.

"It Is the highest rank one can reach In Elven culture, save for princess" Elise said getting a nod from Tony. "So which do you select?" She said.

"I have no idea, maybe the one most willing to be in a relationship with me" he said as all three stepped forward. "Okay that didn't work um can is have a day to decide?" He asked which Elise nodded and bowed before leaving with her children.

"They all had nice large Teats" Chrys said with a giggle.

"What is with you and breasts?" He asked making he giggle as a knock was heard. "Come in" he stated before their Pegasus maid, Cloud Duster entered the room. "Hey Is something up?" He asked.

"I just wanted to ask is my Flank really the reason you hired me?" She asked.

"Um Chrys says it is but I enjoy you being around" he said as she smiled cutely.

"I don't mind if you did, a get a lot of compliments about it" she said with a smile. " also a letter arrived stating that Princess Celestia has sent a Carriage to collect you" she said as Tony nodded and started to grab his gear an enter the bathroom.

"Come with me" Chrys said leading the mare out of the room.

(Twenty minutes later)

Tony had showered, shaved and gotten dressed, making sure to put the special vest under his shirt also his jackal shield unit of his left wrist, he also grabbed a chest holster and put his magnum on his chest, hidden. As he reached the lounge room, he found Chrys sitting on the couch with Cloud laying next to her with a dumb grin on her face. "Well I'm off" he said.

"By Tony, have fun" Chrys said. As he nodded and left. "Ready for round two?" She asked the maid.

As Tony walked out and stood at his gate, he noticed that there was an increase in Diamond Dog females, or Diamond Bitches as they liked to be called much to Tony's disapproval, they seemed to be taking up residences in the part of town Tony lived which was all bit destroyed a few days ago but now was covered it two story houses 'damn those Orcs work fast' he thought as he felt a tap on his shoulder, making him turn to look at a Diamond Bitch who stood shoulder height on him, which was normal, she had a collar around her neck which had a tag saying Opal, "may I help you... Opal?" He asked and she smiled shyly, "well? Speak" he said.

"Hi" she said before running off.

"The fuck?" He muttered confused as Cadence came out of the house with her wing at full mast.

"You know Chrys is rutting the maid over the couch right?" She asked.

"Yea I know" he said with a chuckle as Cadence rubbed herself against him. "So why are you out here?" He asked.

"I was invited to the Grand Galloping Gala, which I suspect is where Aunty is taking you for your date" she said wit a smile before it turned to a frown. "Then I have to head back to the Crystal Kingdom" she sighed.

"Do you have a home stone for here and for there?" He asked as she nodded "okay duplicate the Crystal Kingdom one so I can have it and we can visit each other regularly" he said making her smile as a carriage arrived, he helped Cadence up before climbing on and relaxing with Cadence snuggled into his side. He looked down at her in her pink dress and purple dress "you look nice by the way" he said making her blush. After several hours they arrived at Ponyville to wait for a transfer in carriages and also to pick up some special guests.

Cadence was smiling as she led Tony to the towns Library, most of the towns residence were looking at the two in shock and awe, which made Tony smirk. Soon they arrived at the library and were let inside by a young dragon who gulped when he saw the human who was twice his height enter and sit on the couch with the Princess of love. "Um I'll go get Twilight" he said about to leave before Tony drew a large diamond.

"This is a gift for you Drake.... I forgot I had it in my pocket" he chuckled as Cadence and Spike looked at him.

"How could you forget you had something that size in you pocket?" Cadence asked as Tony shrugged and gave it to the now happy drake who proceeded to run up the stairs.

"So we're here to collect the elements?" He asked which received a nod as the front door opened and several ponies entered, one was Rarity, another was an Orange one with stenson, next was a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail, then a Pink one with a poofy pink mane and tail and lastly the butter one with a pink mane and tail. The group of mares stopped upon seeing Tony as Cadence, they were all in dresses and looked at the pair with mixed feelings. Some fear, others excitement and one gave him a stern look which made him chuckle as Twilight came down the stares in a dress only to dart forward and hug Cadence as soon as she saw her before doing a little dance.

'The fuck?' He thought as he watched before a knock was heard from the door, revealing a armoured Sanctuary Pegasus "Captian, you Carriages has arrived" the Stallion announced 'I have carriages? He thought a he rose and walked with the mares and drake out to see several Dragon plate Pegasus attacked to two Black carriages, standing in front of one was Mare Sweet Heart in a dress.

"Hello Captain, I thought seeing as I was on my way to the Gala, that I may pick you up" she said giving a bow which he returned.

"Thank you Sweet" he said scratching her behind the ears before helping Cadence and Sweet into one carriage along with Twilight before he climbed in.

"So how are you doing after what happened Twi?" Cadence asked the Violet mare who looked down.

"Okay I guess, I just never expected my brother to do something so horrible" she sniffed.

"Well he was punished for what he did" Cadence replied which she got a nod from Twilight. "So changing the subject, what's new?" She asked.

"Um the girls and I are tasked with reforming Eris next week" Twilight said making Sweet and Cadence gasp but Tony shrugged.

"But why, she is the literal god if chaos" Sweet said.

"Yea but everypony deserves a second chance even Queen Chrysalis, where ever he is." Twi said.

"Most likely passed out in my bed" Tony said catching the violet mare off guard.

"Or rutting Cloud" Cadence added getting a nod from Tony.

"Or fondling Mayli" Tony said.

"Wait why is she with you?" Twilight asked.

"Cause she is my partner" Tony said.

"May I study her?" Twilight asked hopeful.

"Maybe" he said which made her smile.

"Yay um may I study you and your things also" she asked confidently.

"Fuck no" Tony said causing her ears to fall against her head.

"Pleaseeeee" she begged giving puppy dog eyes which Tony simply put a hand over he eyes.

"No all my things are meant to kill, if you touch them, they will hurt or kill you of your friends" he said attempting to scare her, which worked.

"Then why can you touch them?" She asked making him laugh.

"Because I was trained to use them" he said.

"Can you train me?" She asked as he shook his head. "Why not?"

"This is why" he said gently grabbing her hoof.

"I know a spell to make me into a Anthropomorphic pony" she said causing him to cock and eye.

"I won't let you touch my things or use magic on them but I shall show you and tell you about them, deal?" He asked and she grumbled but agreed. The ride was quiet for a the rest of the way until they landed and exited the carriage and moved inside the castle through the crowds, as they reached inside, the elements and Cadence all went off to do their own thing.

"Tony may you please come with me while I go set up trade agreements with other nations and towns?" Sweet asked which got her a nod before they went off to talk with other leaders. 'Well at least I give me time to think of what to say to sun butt'.

After thirty minutes of conversing with random people, Tony found an empty table to sit at and relax, he was soon joined by a Diamond bitch who was wearing a gold and diamond crown. "You must be Anthony" she said offering her paw which he took and shook.

"I am but how do you know me?" He asked.

"Well who do you think has been paying you for killing Diamond Dog slavers?" She asked with a smile. "Oh how rude of me, my name is Queen Ruby" she said with a smile as Tony nodded.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." He replied as a Minotour in plated armour sat at his flank, followed by Inferno, an Elven woman, an Orc and several other races "um who are you lot?" He asked.

"My name is King Steel Horn, King of Minotours" the Minotour said.

"You know me, I am King Inferno Dracos, King of Dragons" Inferno said.

"I am Queen Mi'lect, Queen of Elves" the elf said.

"Okay I get you all are royalty but question, why are you all talking to me?" Tony asked.

"You have helped our races more then Equestria or any other race and we wanted to thank you in person" the Orc in dark Green spiked armour stated as Sweet came over, before she could say anything, Tony picked her up and as her I his lap making her blush.

"If you want, you can set up Trade agreements with Sanctuary" Tony suggested receiving nods from royals.

"Of course and if it is alright, would we be able to send some of our people to Sanctuary to relieve the worry of Over population in out Capitals?" Mi asked.

"Once Sanctuary has been expanded then yes" Sweet said.

"If ya need help with expanding your wee town into ah City, ah have plenty of Builder who would love to have the work" the Earthen King said.

"That would be very helpful" Sweet said.

"Yes but we need a diplomat for each of our races in Sanctuary" the Goblin in a rough exo suit stated.

"Well we have a Master Earthen, a Dragoness Princess, a Elven Princess and a Orc Chieftain already there" Sweet replied.

"Ah yes my father lives in Sanctuary" the Earthen said.

"Wait Smitty is your father?" Tony asked getting a nod. "Damn".

"He was the previous King of Sub Terran." He replied.

"So all you need is a Dark Elf Diplomat, Bat Pony Diplomat, Goblin Diplomat, Ogre Diplomat, Minotour Diplomat and a Fai Diplomat" Steel said getting a round of nods.

"Well we better start building into The No - Man's land then" Tony said chuckling getting shocked looks.

"That's a death wish for the builders" Steel said.

"Not when I've got my Soldiers trained" he said as the Bat Pony mare raised her hoof.

"Do you mean train them so try are like you?" She asked.

"Yes, train them to become Marines an thanks to Smitty and Inferno, we can arm them with human weapons" he stated.

"Well it sounds like Sanctuary will be an interesting place in the next few years" the Dark Blue Elf Queen stated.

"Yea, just have to talk to Celestia on allowing us to have more freedom as she has been sending her Guard to Sanctuary recently" Sweet said.

"You all talk will I go ask her" Tony said lifting Sweet off his lap an sitting her in the chair before he went off to find the Fat assed Alicorn, he found her being lectured by a tall white Caribou, a Troll, a Griffon and Gnome.

"I'm sorry but I won't surrender the Captain of Sanctuary's guard over to the Caribou or Griffon Empire" she said as Tony cleared his throat catching all their attention.

"You, you murdered my soldiers" the white Reindeer said poking Tony's chest before Tony grabbed his hoof and began squeezing.

"Well they shouldn't had tried to take over land that isn't theirs" he said as he slowly crushed the Caribou's hoof.

"How about we settle this, you each choose a Champion to face Tony, they may have any weapon or armour they desire, if they win you can have Sanctuary" Celestia said.

"What the fuck Celestia" Tony said as she smiled.

"Fine what do you want for Sanctuary if you win."

"For Sanctuary to be it's own nation and the No-mans land" he said.

"Deal" she stated

Chapter 11 - Arena, Challenge

Equestria (2 hours later)
Location -Canterlot. Arena

Tony sat in a waiting room with several of the friends he made along with Sweet, the his four opponents were getting ready while Tony was already prepared as a unicorn mare arrived at the door. "Fighter are you ready?" She asked getting a nod. "Good okay the rules are. 1. This is a fight to the death, 2. You may use your own armour, 3. Only magic, melee weapons and shields are allowed." She said before leaving "Shit, I only have my pistol" Tony groaned as he removed his suit jacket and then removed his holster "I guess this can't be a quick clean fight" he sighed as he handed his gear to Inferno who looked worried before Tony rolled up his shirt sleeves so they were just above his elbows to show his Jackal shield unit and his Dragon arm.

"Tony please let us give you a weapon" Mi said.

"No it's fine, I can manage, just didn't want to get my suit dirty" he said with a sigh before he exited the room and followed the Unicorn mare to the Arena floor. He stood behind the gate waiting, he took a deep breath before looking down at his tags then back up.

(Celestia's P.O.V)

Celestia was sitting with her sister and the elements of harmony, the arena was usually used for chariot races or golem battles, but today it was a major political event, on one side was four champions of the Dominion and on the other was the Infamous Captain of the Sanctuary Guard, the Human ODST, this would be the first time anyone in the arena had seen him fight excluding Mayor Sweet Heart who had just arrived with several other Royals and took their seats, a powerful barrier was erected over the top so no one could escape until the fight was over. Celestia rose and prepared her Royal Canterlot Voice.

"Attention one and all, today you are graced with witnessing the fate of the Equestrian Border town of Sanctuary, it will either be destroyed or it shall no longer belong to Equestria, the fight is to the death where fighters may use any means of combat save for ranged weapons" she said as the gates on the dominion side opened and out came four champions.

The first was a 7 foot tall Mechanical Golem that housed it's pilot inside of it, it was one if the Gnomes best creation and was incredibly powerful, next was a 7 foot 3 tall Troll in thick leather and bone armour who wielded a massive battle axe. The third to come out was a black armoured Griffon who carried a pony length Sword as he walked on his hind legs and lastly was a Reindeer Caribou in gold plated armour with two swords strapped to his sides.

On the other side of the ring, Tony walked out in his suit, except for his jacket and the strangest thing was, he didn't have a weapon which for some reason sent a shiver down her spine. "Are the Combatants ready?" Celestia asked in her Royal Canterlot Voice which the fighters nodded. "You shall begin now" she said sitting.

"Sister we are worried about Tony, he is unarmed" Luna said as a giggle was heard from next to Luna "why are thou giggling?" She asked the mare next to her who was Mayor Sweet Heart.

"They are doomed" she said with a smile as the black griffon launched forward and swiped his sword horizontally at Tony in a attempt to behead him.

Tony simply grabbed it with his right hand and smirked before he yanked the sword from the Griffon's grip and then using the stolen sword to cut off the Griffon's hind legs before he dumped the sword on the ground as he walked over to his fallen foe, kicked him onto his belly then placed his boot between his wings and grabbed the griffon's wings and tore them from the crippled enemy's back making him scream out in agony as Tony dumped the wings in front of the griffon, just out of his reach before Tony turned to look at the other three Champions who looked in shock and fear as the griffon sobbed as he tried to retrieve his wings.

"He is a monster" the Griffon king said who was next to Celestia as they watched the human approach the other fighters just as the Gnome raised his arms and fired a powerful magical beam which was blocked by Tony's shield which he activated at the last second. The gnome laughed before smoke cleared showing Tony who was still approaching, undamaged. The Troll roared before charging, only for him to be grappled, lifted off the ground and thrown at the Caribou, stunning him and winding the Troll before Tony charged at the Gnome who stead fast.

"Do you worst" he mocked as Tony slammed his fist into the armour, cracking the steel before he grabbed it with both hands and tore it in open, leaving the pilot in shock as Tony ripped two Magic filled crystals from the Golem's arms, compressed them till they began to crack before stabbing them into the Gnome before forcing the Golem shut with enough force to shatter the crystals. The Gnome was left screaming as he roasted inside the suit from raw magic released from the crystals, the sizzle was heard along with the stench of burning flesh, causing all non meat eaters to gag, the Gnome didn't stop screaming for 3 minutes.

"How is he so strong?" Mi asked who was next to Sweet as they watched him approach the Troll who was on his hands and knees trying to catch his breath after he was winded when he landed, he looked up just as Tony grabbed his head and tore it from his body, the screams of pain, bones cracking and the sound of flesh tearing was heard throughout the arena.

Tony the tuned his gaze to the Caribou, who was scrapping at the exit with his hooves, begging to be let out before the Troll's head slammed into his own, stunning him before the human grabbed his forelegs and hind legs which he then began to tear the Elite, fearless Caribou in two making the Reindeer scream. Tony left the twitching bleeding halves of the Caribou in the dust before returning to the sobbing Griffon and crushed his wind pipe beneath his foot.

"And it's over" Sweet said proudly with a smile.

"He.... He killed them in such a cruel manner, with out even getting injured" Luna said shocked.

'Is it wrong that I am extremely turned on right now?' Molestia asked the shocked Celestia as they watched the Human straighten his tie and bow before leaving the silent arena when all the other fighters were mutilated corpses.

"He is a demon" King Dainn of the Caribou said in a shaky voice.

"Did you get the message you Dominion flank holes?" Sweet asked gaining everyone's attention.

"What are you talking about Mare?" The Gnome king demanded.

"To mess with Sanctuary, means suffering and Death, it's pretty easy to see he was making an example of the fools" the Earthen king said making the Dominion royals gulp and look back at their legendary warriors were now lay lifeless and brutalised on the blood soaked dirt.

(Arena Locker room)

Tony was currently standing under a shower as the cold water hit his body, the blood and gore slid out if his hair and off his skin as the cold water refreshed him before he stepped out and dried himself off before putting his pants back on along with his Mythril mail shirt and left his bloodied silk dress shirt in a pile as he attached his shield unit to his left arm. He stretched just as Sweet walked in with Celestia, Luna and the royals who allied with Sanctuary.

"My boy you made King Dainn relieve himself " Inferno said laughing as he handed Tony back his holster and jacket.

"Oh goddess you know how hard it I to get blood out of silk?" Mi asked lifting up the blood soaked shirt and tie.

"Hey if I was allowed to use my pistol it wouldn't have gotten dirty" he said shooting Celestia and Luna a dark look as they smile sheepishly.

"I wanted to see your fighting skills" Celestia said. "I didn't expect you to..... Do such things to them" she said as she sat down.

"Well it also showed them that they can't fuck with Sanctuary or it's allies" he said.

"Anyway, I think you proved not only that Sanctuary can be it's own nation with the No-mans land belonging to you Tony, but also that you are a sufficient mate for Luna and Myself" she said smirking which caught everyone's attention.

"Wait does that mean that Sweet Is now a Princess?" He asked which Celestia nodded.

"Wait I'm a Princess now?!" She asked confused and excited.

"Yes you are, and also I'd like to set up a trade agreement with you" Celestia said leading everyone out towards the castle to fill out the paperwork.

Sanctuary (next evening)
Location - Capital, Market Place

Tony was sitting in Smitty's shop having receiving a few upgrades for his arm as Amber, Uric, Sweet and Elise talked to him about the event that occurred.

"So Sanctuary is it's own nation, and the No Man's land belongs to you?" Uric asked getting a nod from Tony.

"This means that we can revolutionise this entire town, along with its new allies, there are so many possibilities" Elise said excited."any way have you decided in which Saint you want?" She asked as Tony looked confuse for a moments.

"Oh yea, um no I haven't yet, like fuck all three of them are cool but I have no idea who I like better, Chrys likes them all because of their large breasts" he sighed as Elise scratched her chin.

"Hmmm How about a contest, they prove their worth to you, the greatest feat of their field, earns them the right as your mate" she said as Tony thought it over.

"Before you all get distracted, I have finished" Smitty said as Tony looked at his are to see no difference.

"I don't see anything Smitty" Tony said as the Earthen smiled.

"Focus on your hand, feel anything different?" He asked as Tony nodded. "Tense the muscles around there and see what happens" he said poking Tony's fingers as Tony did so and two inch long curved black claws extended from where his nails would be.

"Holy shit.... I could have used this last night" he said surprised along with the others in the room.

"I know right, any way return to your chat and I'll continue on your arm" he said as Tony nodded and looked at Elise.

"So?" She asked.

"Um yea I like it, so start it tomorrow?" He asked.

"I'll let them know" she said.

"Wait we need to decide what our capital is going to be called" Sweet said.

"Our?" Amber asked.

"Yes, I would like you lot to be my Council" she said smiling.

"Sure" Smitty said.

"Why not" Amber shrugged

"It would be a pleasure" Uric stated.

"Glady" Elise exclaimed.

"I don't see why not" Tony laughed.

Chapter 12 - Armonia, Saint troubles (unedited)

Armonia (next afternoon)
Location - Sanctuary, town hall.

"Okay so if we set up a airship tower near the Equestrian Border then have a Train line that's connected to the Minos line, we should have out basic trade lines set up" Tony said as the builders looked at the plans.

"Why not build Docks to the Equestria sea which is 4 miles east of Sanctuary?" A builder asked.

"Simple, there is a 30 foot long blue armoured sea lizard that breaths lightning" he said getting nods. "It on my to do list, it's scheduled for a few days away".

"What are we going to do with the Equestrian Border? Are we just gonna leave it open?" Another builder asked.

"No we will be setting up walls with Ballista turrets every 20 metres" he said pointing to the thick black line on the map. "Not only does it give an Intimidation bonus but it helps protect us from the Everfree forest" he said pointing to a massive dark green shape near the wall.

"Will we have an escort?" A unicorn builder asked.

"30 heavy armoured Orcs, 4 Dragons knights, 12 armoured Diamond Dogs, 20 Elven Rangers, 6 Griffons and 12 Earthen Brutes." He said getting sighs of relief. "Also send Mil and Black to me if you see them" he said as they nodded as left, not long after he was joined by Saint Amanda. "Yes Amanda?" He asked as he looked at the massive map of the No Man's land.

"I heard you are having problems with a Lagiacrus" she said leaning against the table in a skimpy monster plate suit in an attempt to catch his gaze.

"You mean the massive deep blue, red eye lightning breathing Leviathan?" He asked.

"Yes that's the one" she said smiling.

"It's no problem, I have already killed three of them since I have been here" he said surprising her.

"You what?..... How?..... Where?!" She asked him. "I have never killed one let alone three" she said.

"Well two were in Sanctuary's dam, another I stumbled across when tracking a team of Slavers through the Flood forest" he said pointing to a area on the map.

" so you don't need help" she frowned.

"Well if you really want, you could capture it so we could attempt to tame it which then we can use it to protect our docks when we build them." he said.

"It will be my pleasure" she said before running out of the room, passing Smitty.

"What got into her?" He asked as he approached the round table, that was chin height on him.

"There are stools over in the corner" a Pegasus guard said.

"Thank you laddy" he said grabbed a stool and standing on it so he could look at the map.

"Her and the other two Saints of Sanctuary are doing their best to try and impress me, I have had Eliza turn about a dozen of my pony guards into Anthro's, which they are stuck as permanently now, I've had Amanda follow me around and when ever I have mentioned a monster she has gone off, killed it and dragged it back to me to show off and then there is Lucy who has destroyed about half a dozen bandit camps and brought me all the heads..... All three hundred of them, I gave them to Amber who is still sorting them out.... And shit it's only... What 1pm?" He asked a pony who nodded. "It's only 1pm" he sighed as he went back to the map. "So what brings you here my friend?" He asked.

"Well apart from checking out some Elf booty, I have come to let you know about our work situation" he said looking over the map.

"I thought that was Uric's area" Tony said as he inspected the map.

"It is but he wanted to make some guards claim some lab for farming and since your in charge of Amorina's defences, he wanted to run it by you" he said.

"Okay, why didn't he come himself?" Tony asked as he inspected the map for a place for farming.

"His grandmother won't leave him alone, she recently arrived from the Orc nation and she is very annoyed that he gave his daughter away to a non-Orc, oh which reminds me, she will be seeing you soon" Smitty chuckled as Tony groaned as placed his finger on box on the map.

"Right well this grid section is roughly 10 miles by 10 miles of grassy plains, it's about 4 miles west of Sanctuary but it would be a perfect area for farm land and also a village" he said as Smitty nodded before he looked at a Diamond Dog Guard. "Please ask the princess if she isn't busy to come here please" he asked as the dog saluted and left hastily.

"Oh and before I forget, I have finished several of your firearms, so now we have about 12 DMR's as you call them, half a dozen Shotguns and 30 Magnums" Smitty said.

"Shit you work fast" he said amazed.

"I had some help in my forge" he said getting a nod from Tony.

"Which means tomorrow I'll start training my new officers tomorrow so they can train the low ranked soldiers" he said.

"That's actually quite smart" Smitty said as Lucy came in with a bloody dripping bag, she had on a literal steel bikini.

"Lucy that's not even.... How are you not wounded?" Tony asked as Smitty was smiling.

"Some times I love being 4 foot 10" he said as Lucy was smiling proudly at Tony.

"I have slain another camp of bandits Captain, and I did it with out being injured" she said.

"That bag is a safety hazard" Tony said shaking his head.

"How so, they are all dead" she said before a elf Ranger walked by behind her and slipped on the blood. "Ohh.... I'll take these to Ms Amber and Get Doctor Strip" she said stepping around the ranger and out the door as Tony face palmed.

"I'm okay, I'm okay" the elf said as he tried to get up only to slip again. "I'm not okay, I'm down.... Help" he said

"Smitty can you get the janitor?" He asked as Smitty nodded and left the room as Tony helped the Ranger up off the groan and sat him in a chair. "What's your name?" He asked.

"Si'rite" he said saluting.

"Okay Si, where does it hurt?" He asked.

"Just my lower back and I can't feel my shoulder sir" he said as Tony nodded before feeling the Elf's shoulder.

"I believe it's dislocated" Tony said as Si was about to say something before Tony relocated his shoulder.

"Ahh Buck!" He cried out as a earthen came in with a mop and started cleaning.

"So tell me Si, why do Elves have to different types of names?" He asked.

"Well I'm a High Elf so my parents gave me a two part name while Princess Elise is a Wood Elf" he said rubbing his shoulder.

"What's the difference?" He asked.

"I'm High elves are powerful with Arcane magic while Wood Elves are Powerful with Nature Magic" he said.

"Is that the only difference" Tony asked.

"The main one sir" he said as Doctor Strip arrived by he was an Anthro.

"Saint Eliza?" Tony asked.

"Yes I complained about how difficult it was to work with hooves and be a doctor" he grumbled, he stood the same height as Tony but was more muscular.

"Look at the bright side, it makes your job easier" Si said.

"Yea once I had clothes, figured out how to walk and use my fingers" he grumbled as he injected Si with a syringe with a glowing substance in it. "This will mend the injury and numb the pain" he said before he looked at Tony. "Is that everything?" He asked which Tony nodded so he grabbed his gear and left with the ranger. Tony groaned as rubbed his temples as he sat on a chair with his eyes closed.

"You called for me Tony?" Asked a kind voice.

"Yes I did Sweet, I was wondering if I had permission to set up small village to the west where there is a low amount of Carnivorous monsters and fertile soil" he explained as he looked at her with her black and silver crown.

"Yes that would be delightful, so I'm what is the level of Herbivore monsters in the area?" She asked sitting next to him.

"Well our hunters have stated that there is about 9 different species which are all flourishing" he said.

"Right and what are the Carnivorous monster types?" She asked.

"Least a dozen creatures called Ludroths, they are large yellowy green water creatures that would cause problems if the lake that they lived in wasn't at least 6 miles away from where I recommend putting the town" he said as she nodded.

"Okay, see to it Tony." She said before leaving. As she made it to the door, she bumped into Eliza. "Hello Saint Eliza" she said as Eliza smiled.

"Hello Princess, would you like to be Bipedal?" She asked.

"Um what? Why?" Sweet asked.

"It will make you taller and also more attractive to other species" she said with a smile, Sweet looked at her for a moment then back at Tony.

"Okay, sure" she said as get left.

"Damn there isn't gonna be a Quadrupedal left in the nation at this rate" Tony grumbled as he started planning for the village.

(A few hours later)

Tony was laying on his belly, his sniper rifle in hand as he took aim down a gun range he put together in the last hour or two, he had gotten sick of people bugging him so he decided to fire off a few stun rounds, the reason he chose stun rounds is because stupid people walked on the range as he was shooting, there was currently 25 unconscious people on the range, Tony could have easily missed them but he chose that it would help if he shot them, seeing as they were the people trying to ask him for stuff.

"Tony hey I was wondering where you we.... Arg" a ogre was saying until he was hit in the chest.

"Tony I have returned" Amanda said as Tony ran out of rounds. He watched we approach before she sat next to him.

"How did it go?" He asked as he reloaded his rifle.

"It went good but the Lagiacrus died so I grabbed it's Egg and now it's being tended to" she said as she inspected the rifle.

"Okay, so tell me, have you seen Mil or Black? I have been looking for them everywhere" he said as he took aim and shot a magical target, causing it to explode.

"Oh well they said something about finding out your Birthday is today" she said a Tony shot another person trying to bug him.

"So that explains why people are trying to talk to me" he said as she nodded. "I should probably stop shooting them."

Chapter 13 - Village site, Monster attack

Armonia
Location - Sanctuary, Tony's home.

Tony was sitting on his couch in his living room which was now filled with people, food, alcohol and music, Chrys had taken up her place on his lap with Cadence by his side, to no surprise, Cadence was the only Quadrupedal person in Sanctuary now. Tony's hands had been taken by his mares, his right was currently being held against Chrys' large flank by her magic and Cadence was nuzzling and his left hand, "you two are children" he said as he scratched behind Cadence's ears making her moan and lean into him while he was freed by Chrys' magic before she kissed him deeply.

He felt a weight press against his free side, causing him to break the kiss and look at Mayli who was smiling before she put her arms around him. He chuckled as he heard someone clearing their throat so he looked and saw Elise standing with her daughters. "Have you decided which one?" She asked.

"All three of them are great and I don't want to come between them" he said with a sigh.

"Oh why didn't you say so, Girls are you up for sharing Tony" she asked as they smiled and nodded. "Problem solved" she said before walking off to mingle leaving her girls to join him on his couch.

"Well this is gonna be fun" he said sarcastically as Chrys giggled and nuzzled him. "You know Eliza, you nearly ruined my chance to actually get down and dirty with a quadrupedal" he chuckled.

"You can always do that with me whiled in here for the day" Cadence said in a sultry tone which made Tony blush slightly.

"Sure, if the rest if you don't mind waiting until a later date?" He asked which they shrugged and smiled.

"We don't mind" Chrys said getting off his lap "also there is a gift for you on your bed" she said with a smirk as Candece led him upstairs to his room.

"So you sure your up for this Candy?" He asked stroking her back gently as they approached the room.

"I definitely am" she said smiling as they reached the door, upon opening the door, Cadence's wings extended in a poof while Tony was blushing.

Sitting on the large bed was Cloud Duster with a smile on her face, she had panties on along with a red ribbon and a large bow covering her large breasts "does my master and mistress like?" She asked as Tony an Cadence looked at her blushing hard. "Mistress Chrysalis chose this outfit for your birthday master" she said as she fluttered her indigo wings.

Cadence was the first to respond as she approached Cloud. "It's good but I needs something done to it" she said stepping out of her shoes and onto the bed.

"Like what?" Cloud asked as Cadence's horn glowed and tapped it against Cloud's bust, which grew a few cup sizes causing the ribbon and bow to snap.

"Better" she said before looking at Tony. "Well are you going to take us or do we have to entice you first?" She asked as Tony just looked at them still slightly dumbfounded. "Suit yourself" she said

(Clop scene..... Yea I know Breast expansion..... It was recommended so :p )

Tony watched as Cadence gently pushed Cloud onto her back before using her hooves to spread her legs, she waited for a moment before she began to lick and prob Cloud through her panties, causing the indigo Pegasus to moan loudly and fidget. She continue for a minute before pulling the Panties off with her teeth and started on he naked flesh making Cloud moan louder as her hand moved to Cadence's horn as started to gently squeeze it and pump her hand up and down, taking time to massage the tip of her horn, causing the princess of love to moan with Cloud.

Tony smirked as he walked over and moved behind Cadence, she notice him and lifted her tail as he moved his left hand to her teats causing her to moan as his right hand rubbed her slit, Cadence jumped slightly and moaned before pushing her long broad tongue inside of Cloud, thrusting it forward and back a she rubbed all the right places. Tony moved down and began to lick and finger Cadence slowly at first but soon increased his pace when he noticed how close Cloud was.

Without warning Cadence bucked her hips back and wrapped her tail around Tony as she came, Tony was slightly surprised at how quickly she finished and was even more so when she tasted like strawberries, before he could get his head around it, he heard Cloud scream out Cadence's name before he could smell a strong berry smell. 'Okay I'm guessing each mare has a different flavour' he thought as Cadence freed his face. He cleaned his face before he remove his clothes.

"It's not as big as I expected" Cadence said.

"What?!" He replied.

"I expected it to be larger, buck your bigger then Shining but smaller then I imagined" she said slightly disappointed.

"Well I can't help that Candy" he said Laying in the bed.

"No but I can" she said as her horn glowed when suddenly a surge of pain shot through Tony's body, originating from his groin causing him to growl loudly. Soon the pain subsided and Cadence nuzzled him. "I am sorry sweetheart, here let me kiss it better" she said before Tony felt her lips around the tip of his member, making him groan softly, he was about to look down when suddenly Cloud climbed onto his body, straddling his belly and smiled over her shoulder at him.

"Sorry Master I need help with my wings" she said as she fluttered them in his casing him to notice several were pointing at odd angles. With a groan he moved his hands to her back and began to preen her as he felt her hands wrap around his member. The two worked together to work on Tony's cock for a few minutes until stopping abruptly.

"Why haven't you cum yet?" Asked Cadence as Tony looked at the clock I the wall.

"It's only been 2 minutes" he stated confused.

"Yea most Stallions and other males don't last that long" Cloud said.

"Well I'm not from Equis. Wait is that why you came so quickly?" He asked.

"Well yea when you live with a stallion who has a pin dick and lasts lest then a minute, I had to enchant myself to get some pleasure" she stated as Tony chuckled. "What?" She asked.

"You have those enchantments on right now so this will be interesting." He said lifting Cloud off him and laid he down before looking at Cadence. Cadence smirked softly before releasing his member from her magic before she pounced on him, she ground her wet marehood against his member as she kissed him deeply, in response he grabbed her hips, aligned her and thrusted up, plunging himself into her a she bucked her hips down into him causing her to winch and moan loudly with him.

"Buck I made it too big" she groaned as he hoof rubbed a bulge on her belly.

"Well if your not up for it, I can always fuck Cloud in your place" he said as Cadence growled at him.

"No bucking way am I backing down now" she said before she pulled her hips up slowly, groaning as her marehood clenched and pulsed around the large girth, Tony on the other hand felt slight discomfort from her overall tightness. "I really need to remove this enchantment tomorrow so I'm not so tight" she him whimpered before slamming her hips back down. She continued her rough hard riding, Tony thrusting into to her when she dropped down causing them both to grunt and moan louder before Tony's sight was obstructed by Indigo.

He was about to question it until he felt the humid air and Cloud whimper slightly making him smirk. He moved his left hand to her hip while he kept his right on Cadence's hip while he began to lick and nibble Cloud's slit and clit make her moan and grind into his face. He soon heard Cadence cry out before slamming her hips down hard as her marehood clamped down hard and pulsated around him.

"Oh buck" she said with a moan a she pulled herself off him and groaned. "Damn it you didn't finish" she said before Cloud was surrounded in a light blue aura and was lifted off Tony and placed next to him. "I want you to finish in me so I guess we are gonna have to have you give me your full attention" she said as Cloud pouted.

"Sure" he said getting off the bed before gently grabbing her hips and pulling her so her flank and back legs hung off the bed before he positioned himself "Candy, I think you need to help Cloud" he said as she nodded and brought Cloud in front of her with her magic, Tony smiled before pushing inside of Cadence and begun thrusting at hi original pace, hard and fast as the Alicorn moaned and ate out the Pegasus, he moved his hand to massage her wing while his other hand squeezed her flank as he thrusted into her.

As they rutted, Tony want faster and harder while he moved his hand from her wing to her horn and jerked It off like if it was a phallus, she was already groaning from her building climax, the air was thick from both the mares' musk along with the sound of moaning and grunts from the three but soon enough Tony started to thrust more erratically as he made his thrusts longer and harder before he ultimately thrusted deep inside of the Princess of Love while holding her against his hips as he pumped his seed inside of her, coaxing Cadence to cum again while her horn sparkled and spat light streams of magic that struck Cloud making her groan loudly and soon cum hard on Cadence again. Tony road out his orgasm while shooting rope after rope inside the pink mare until utimately finishing and pulling out as her marehood dripped their mixture of cum.

"Fuck, that was a hell of a way to end a four year dry spell" he chuckled as he laid on the bed while Cadence panted and smiled stupidly "well end of the first round anyway" he said catching both tired mares attention.

"First round?" Cloud asked.

"Yea I can go at least 2 - 4 rounds" he said as the mares looked at each other then back at him.

"Okay I'm game" Cloud said a Cadence took a breather.

(End of clop.... Sorry if it sucked dick..... Fucking puns)

(Next morning)

Tony awoke with a groan, he had Cloud hugging his left side tightly naked hole Cadence was asleep on his right side, they had taken turns at going solo rounds with Tony before they called it quits around 1am, Tony simply chuckled at the memory as he slipped himself free of the mares and entered his bathroom and ran a hot shower. He sighed as the hot water hit his skin before he began washing himself, when he was finished he exited, shaved and got dressed before grabbing his DMR, binoculars, Knife, pistol and Datapad before heading down stairs to grab some food. Upon reaching the kitchen, he grabbed some fruit and munched on it while he waited for coffee to brew. As he did, he was soon joined by Cadence, Chrys and Eliza,

"So how was last night?" Chrys asked curious.

"Tony and his bucking stamina left Cloud and myself exhausted an sore" Candy said with a smile, "me increasing his size didn't help" she added.

"You made him bigger? Why?"Chrys asked.

"Cause if I thought it would be better as I didn't know he had mountains of stamina" she said as Tony grabbed himself a coffee.

"Where are you off to with all that gear?" Asked Eliza.

"There is a location that needs to be checked out for a farming Village" he said as he sipped his coffee.

"Farming village? Got a name?" Asked Cadence.

"Something to do with Harvest as my parents passed away on a planet named Harvest, and it sort of fits" he stated.

"Wait on a different planet?" Asked Eliza.

"Yes, my race was a space travelling race, fuck I was born on the moon of my race's homeworld" he said

"No wonder Aunt Luna likes you so much" Candy said as Tony chuckled before kissing her on the cheek, followed by him kissing Chrys' and then Eliza's before he went to grab his armour.

"So how long did he last?" Chrys asked when Tony had left the room.

"About 10 minutes the first round and roughly 8-20 each other round" she said with a smile.

(Upstairs)

Tony entered his room to find Cloud sitting on the bed with her hands in her lap "you okay Cloud?" He asked making her jump.

"Yes master I am" she said sheepishly as Tony frowned and sat next to her.

"One enough with the master thing, and second what's up?" He asked her.

"I'm just thinking about my few days with you and Chrys and the others, like you all gave me a home when I was living in a hotel doing anything to get the bits to get by, then Chrys comes along, gives me a once over and asks if I wanted a job as a maid, i knew she wanted me for my body, which she has admitted but it was the bits I needed. Then I meet you as instantly you not only give me a job but also a room in your home and then don't even try to take advantage of me. To be honest I got a crush on you and I just wanted to let you know that even though I'm just your maid, I want to be mo... Mmph" she was saying before Tony kisse her softly.

"I'd love to" he said as her cheeks turned red.

"Really?" She asked.

"Really" he replied as she hugged him which he returned before kissing her cheek and going to grab his leather armour and bandoleers which he loaded up with ammo.

"I'll see you when you are home" she said grabbing a towel and leaving the room.

Armonia
Location - Farm location

Tony was crouched on the ridge line just above the area designated, he had a team of elf hunters along with Amanda who were armoured up. He connected his Binoculars to his datapad via a cable so he could mark locations and target on his small mini map on his Datapad, so far he had marked down low population areas and also high population areas, he also marked down some larger creatures to be wary of. "Okay us everyone ready?" He asked as they looked at him confused. "A large cave system is about 300 metres away that we new to check out.

"Why do we need to check out the caves, they could be filled with monsters" an elf said.

"That's the point, what's the bloody point if we set up a village only for it to be attacked by something from that cave?" He asked

"He has got a point Louis" another elf said as Tony began to scale down the cliff face and move towards the caves with the hunters.upon reaching the cave, Tony's data pad started beeping causing him to check it.

"Interesting" he said before raising his rifle and turning on its light.

"What is it Tony?" Amanda asked.

"Upgrades" he said as he entered the cave and made his way inside only to find a Pelican sitting on the ground under a massive hole in the ground, it had a Warthog attached that had a Gauss cannon instead of a chain gun, there were dozens of armoured corpses, bullet casings and expelled magazines. "This isn't good" he said as the hunters nodded and approached slowly. As they did, the group spread out, Tony moved to the Sargent of team and checked him over. "His chest has been slashed opened" he muttered as he looked around and saw a large orange and blue creature laying nearby asleep.

"Tony do you know what happened?" Amanda asked as Tony pointed to the beast as he expression faulted. "A Tigrex" she whispered as the hunter Louis tripped over it moments before it lashed out and torn him in half.

"Find cover" Tony called out as the massive creature dived upon a group of hunters, tearing them apart as Tony ran for the warthog, Amanda had pulled herself and three of the other hunters on top of the Pelican as the others attempted to fight the creature, only to fall from it's speed and strength moments before it turned it's gaze towards the remaining elves. The beast roared before it began to charge, only for a loud boom to be heard and the beast was sent flying back into the cave wall as it's chest poured blood, the Tigrex attempted to pull it's self to its feet until another boom was heard and it's head detonated.

"Well that was quite fucked up" Tony said dismounting the Warthog's turret as the remaining four climbed down. "So how did tho thing manage to kill so many experienced hunters?" He asked as the Elves rubbed the back of their heads.

"Well they are all Rookies and I didn't bring equipment to kill a Tigrex" Amanda said as Tony nodded before he stripped the human marines of their weapons, ammo, grenades and tags.

"I guess that explains the lack of predators" Tony said as he dumbed the equipment inside the Pelican before looking at the Elves. "Load up the dead hunters" he said pulling the dead Pilots out of the driver seats and left them outside, the windscreen had been shattered along with the pilots being ripped apart. Apart from that the vehicles were intact so Tony took a flight helmet before going to the cock pit and turning the ship on, causing the hunters to jump in surprise. "You got this bird loaded?" He asked looking back to see that they did before he activated the magnetic lock and attached the Warthog to the back of the Pelican. "All aboard" he said as try sat in seats while he shut the back door and began to take off. "Time to scare everyone at Sanctuary".

Chapter 14 - Special, Tome Skip

Recap

After Tony and the surviving hunters returned to Sanctuary, to say the town freaked out due to a massive dark green drop shot landing was an understatement. After the initial freak out, the wounded were taken to the hospital while the dead were taken by their families to prepare them for a burial as Tony went and collected the dead marines along with the dead Tigrex. The Tigrex was skinned and carved up, most of its meat was packed and sent to one of Armonia's allies as part of the trade agreement while Amanda said that Tony needed to turn the beasts scales and plated skin into armour, which Smitty did for him.

During the burial of the UNSC Marines, Tony also buried the tags that belongs to the dead soldiers who he failed during his time in the Human- Covenant war, after they were buried he grabbed a Battle rifle that was taken from a fallen marine and proceeded to give a 21 gun salute, he managed to gain a large crowd of Armonian's who were curious at the ritual.

After the ritual, Smitty, Mayli and a Goblin Tinker named Jury Rig, took the Pelican and Warthog and began to reverse engineer them before they began producing more as well as the new weapons, which were SMGs, Spartan Lasers, Assault Rifles, Battle Rifles, Grenade Launchers, Rocket Launchers and Machine turrets. While this was underway, Tony took Lucy and about 50 guards and officers and put then through the hellish training of The ODST.

After about 4 months winter had hit, apparently Amornia didn't need a weather team as the land controlled it's own, like the Everfree. The monsters of Armonia had changed their hunting grounds so they were away from the large town. The small farming town was Dubbed Earth Harvest as the marines were apparently stationed in Earth as a recording stated, the news of Luna being glassed and Earth being invaded didn't help Tony's mental state much as he kind of stopped doing anything for a month.

The small town was set up and out fitted with a large group if experience hunters and a team of Armonian Marines, along with a Hinting hall as Amanda had set up a Hunter's Guild to take some of the stress off Tony and his work as Armonia's defence. By the time the hell jumper had gotten over his short depression, he was created by the town of Sanctuary being a small City, it's population tripled as immigrates from different nations had migrated in, this included people from the Domion such as Caribou and Trolls, most were female.

Sanctuary's dock lands were set up and trade between Armonia and Diamond City was commenced, which mostly consisted of Sanctuary sending monster meat and carvings while they received gems and miners.

Armonia's border wall had been constructed but instead of Ballistas, Gauss turrets were installed which obliterated a group of rampaging Hydra that tried to attack the gate to the nation.

End of Recap

Armonia
Location - Sanctuary, Tony's home.

Tony was laying in his bed looking at the roof, he always hated snow and wasn't looking forward to getting up, he had a naked 10 foot tall Chrys laying on him, her head on his bare chest sleeping calmly, to his immediate flank was Cloud with her arms wrapped around his neck, Mayli, Amanda, Lucy and Eliza had already left to go do jobs and things like that. He gently stroked Chrys' soft chitin side causing her to purr and nuzzle him in her sleep, around his neck was a necklace that consisted of four feathers, a white one, a Midnight blue one, a pink one and a Indigo one, each a gift from Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Cloud.

"Morning" a voice said causing him to look at the door to see Cadence smiling at him.

"Hey, what are you doing here? I thought you got enough snow at you empire" he said with a chuckle as she smiled and climbed onto the bed, 'is she heavier?' He thought as he looked at her flat belly.

"Well I wanted to spend Hearth's Warming Eve with my Herd" she said as he looked at her confused.

"What?" He asked.

"You know, the time where you spend it with your family and give gifts" she said poking Chrys with her hoof, making the Changeling growl.

"Sounds like Christmas.... Shit I haven't celebrated that shit in forever" he said as he thought back until Cadence bopped him on the nose.

"Oh no you don't, no more depression" she said as Tony chuckled.

"I'm not, I don't want to suffer Chrys' wrath.... I don't think my hips can handle it" he chuckled as he stroked Cadence's cheek.

"Anyway, seeing as my Aunties are coming here, and that my stallion is here, I came here" she said as Chrys sat up with a annoyed expression. "Oh and I came for you too" she added before bopping Chrys on her muzzle.

"Well I better get up and get ready" Tony groaned as he slipped out from under Chrys who immediately look his place and cuddled Cloud. Tony smiled as he entered his bathroom with Cadence, he removed the necklace as he ran a shower for himself, after he finished, he walked out of the bathroom in a towel and the necklace before getting dressed. "So did you get us presents?" Asked Cadence.

"If I knew about the holiday, I would have" he said pulling a top on.

"Well I don't mind you didn't get me anything, cause you already got me so much" Chrys said hugging him from behind. "And don't worry I got you something nice for tonight" she whispered as Tony shivered before grabbing his thick jacket, which had a Fleur dee lis on it, he then grabbed a backpack before he turned around and kissed Chrys.

"You don't have to give me anything" he said with a smile before he left the room. Once he was out of the house, Chrys turned to Cadence.

"When are you gonna tell him?" She asked.

"Tonight" she said before climbing into the bed and sighing. "I want to make sure he is in a good mood first."

Tony was walking down when he passed a few stalls that were being set up, he smiled as he made it to a recently opened café and found Eliza sitting at a table reading. "Hey Liz" he said sitting next to her causing her to smile and hug him.

"Hey Tony, how are you feeling after last night?" She asked.

"Yea I'm alright, I kind of regret Chrys finding out that I'm bi" he said as Eliza giggle.

"Well at least it wasn't as bad as when you had to deal with Celestia a few weeks back." She said

(A few weeks back)

Tony was sitting in his office, he was looking through paper work when his door was thrown open as the Sub Alicorn walked in before using her magic to slam the door shut. She looked different, her fur had a slight grey tinge and her mane and tail were pink. "What's up Tia?" He asked as she used her magic to clear his desk of items. "What the fuck?"

"I am in heat, and I desire you to rut me now" she said before darting forward and tackling him, unlike Chrys who had changed her weight to the same as Cadence's which was in the 400's, Celestia was over 1000 pounds which even with his enhanced strength, she was still heavy.

"Celestia, get off me" he groaned.

"My name is Molestia and I won't get off you until you sate my 3000 year hunger" she said as her horn glowed a soft pink colour and Tony lost his clothes, she then used magic to lock his office door.

"Ah shit" he said.

(Present)

"Yea I remember, we didn't leave m office for two days, good damn endurance potions" he groaned as Eliza giggled and kissed his cheek.

"It wasn't that bad, at least you made her feel good and she became less of a bitch" she said.

"That's true" he said before looking at her paper work. "What's with the paperwork?" He asked.

"I asked The Princess if I could start a guild to help train magic users and also help with the work load you have" she said as Tony smiled.

"Thanks, yea if you take the magic users that would help a lot, seeing as I don have to train them of they want to be soldiers, well as much anyway" he said a Lucy soon arrived with Amanda who sat down with smiles on their faces. "What?" He asked.

"We're just happy to see you out of your rut" Amanda said.

"And also I've come to tell you that the princess wants to see you" Lucy said as Tony nodded before leaving the three an heading for town hall.

Upon arriving at the town hall, toy was greeted by Sweet and three dignitaries. "Tony thank you for coming, I'd like you to meet the Queen of the Zebra Kingdom Zilnia" she said gesturing the female Zebra who nodded. "Next is the Queen of the Dark Elf Kingdom, who you have met before Black Heart" she said as as the tall slender dark blue elf with red eyes and charcoal hair smiled and shook his had. "And lastly, the King of the Centaur Kingdom Cavalis" she said gesturing the tall red skinned, black furred horned Centaur in plated armour.

"Greetings Hooman" the Centaur said loudly.

"Hey and it's human" Tony said looking at the 10 foot tall brute. "So what brings you lot here?" He asked the three.

"I wish to begin trading, and I would like to trade some of my people and medicine in exchange for your assistance." Zilnia said.

"I would like to allow the immigration of my people, in exchange to have my borders patrolled by your troops" Black Heart asked.

"I wish to test my might against yours to see if you are worthy protect my nation" Cavalis stated I a rough loud tone.

"Wait my assistance? My troops? Lead your nation ?" He asked confused.

"Our nations are under attack from Dragons that are burning out border towns and villages to steal our metals, and not the precious kind either." Zilnia said.

"How do you know it's dragons and not the Dominion?" Asked Tony.

"Because one we have spotted Large Dragons attacking" Black Heart stated.

"Ok and you want me to remove them" Tony said.

"No we want you to destroy the Vile Lizards, and save our people" Roared Cavalis.

"Okay so any idea where they are?" Tony asked.

"They attack out towns on the border to Armonia so we guess they are somewhere here" Said Black Heart as Tony looked out at the frozen No - mans land.

"I'm gonna have to wait until Spring, one Snow monsters are active, Two they are most likely hibernating so I wouldn't be able to find them, and three I need to set up a team" he said getting nods from the three. "If that is all I shall be off" he said as all our said their goodbye before Tony headed to check on Smitty.

As Tony entered the smith, he found Mayli sitting outside of the forge with a bored expression. "Hey sweet heart, what's up?" Tony asked gaining her attention.

"Oh just Smitty and one if his partners going at it in the forge" she sighed as Tony chuckled.

"How long so far?" He asked.

"An hour" she groaned.

"Damn he is going for a personal record" he said just as the door opened and a pink and red Dragoness in plate exited the forge and then out the front door.

"Hello Laddy, what brings you 'ere?" Smitty asked as he walked out in a pair of overalls.

"Hey Smitty, I just wanted to know how the work on those warthogs were coming?" He asked.

"Oh fine laddy, we should have at least 10 complete by Spring, along with 3 of your big birdies" he said with a chuckle.

"Cool I also need gear to slay dragons" he said as Mayli left after kissing his cheek.

"Slay dragons you say? Now why would you wanna do that laddy?" He asked.

"Because apparently a large group of dragons is attacking our allies' border towns and have a base in Armonia" he said as he sat down on a chair.

"Hmmm I think I can set something up for you" he said.

"Good cause I also need to set up a team" Tony said.

"Okay Laddy, well when you got your team, come back and I'll measure you all up" he said as Tony nodded and shook his hand before leaving to find his Dragoness friend.

Upon finding her at her home, he knocked and entered to find his friend in a warm night gown with a hot mug of something. "What brings you Tony?" She asked as se shut the door as sat back down on the large bed in her living room by a large raging fire.

"Just wanted to see how my cold blooded friend was doing in the cold" he said.

"Would be better if I had a mate right now to keep me warm" she growled as Tony sat next to her and smiled at her.

"What happened to that Orge who you liked, the one that was checking you out" he asked.

"Apart from being a total Flankhole, he couldn't satisfy my need for a decent relationship" she sighed as she leant against him, he put his arm around his friend.

"Well how about you come over to mine, the large amount of people should help you keep warm and hey if you want, you can share my bed with me and my herd" he said as she looked at him.

"You willing to let a adult 9 foot tall Dragoness share your bed, a Dragoness who has not been bucked or touched in over 2000 years in your bed willingly?" She asked.

"Yea" he said as she smiled and hugged him.

"I'd like that," she said nuzzling him.

"Cool so grab some gear and I'll teleport us home with my home stone" he said as she nodded and got up.

"Okay um I am just gonna use my Sauna to warm me up fully before I pack " she said with a smile before she left, Tony smile as she left before he laid on the bed, he took notice of how comfy it was before he fell asleep.

(2 hours later)

Tony groaned as he was awoken by Amber who was looking at him annoyed. "Sorry Amber" he said sitting up as she grabbed her backpack. She was in a weird fur/ leather armour which showed off her curves well, Tony slapped himself to get rid of the thoughts before he rose and pulled out his home stone and offered his hand to Amber as she returned.

"Let's go" she said taking his hand before they vanished in a flash of light, only to reappear in Tony's living room to find it empty, save for a letter. Tony picked up the letter before looking back to Amber to see she was gone.

"The fuck?" He asked before opening the letter to read 'come upstairs'. He rose an eyebrow before drawing his pistol and moving upstairs quietly with hi pistol at the ready just in case, upon reaching the top he was greeted by a second letter which he opened. 'Your Herd has been expanded' the letter said with love hearts in place of the O. "Um okay?" He muttered before moving forward as he noticed a flower petal trail leading to his personal room. He placed his ear to the door an heard faint murmurs that he couldn't understand. " well one way to find out" he said before kicking in the door and raising his gun only to drop it straight away as his face turned bright red.

On the massive bed sat each of his herd mates, along with Amber and Sweet. All were in provocative Christmas themed lingerie, that even on the three Alicorns looked amazing. Each was in a sexy pose until Tony kicked in the door which caused them to freeze before they giggled at his reaction.

"Now you've broken your door" Mayli said as Tony looked at his door then back at his bed wordless.

"Why did you come in gun blazing?" Asked Cadence. "Kind of a mood killer".

"You can't leave a note like that downstairs" he said.

"What we wanted you to come and get your surprise, what that never happened before?" Asked Sweet.

"Been at war since before I was old enough to chase girls" he said as they nodded before Tony was surrounded by a gold aura.

"Enough talking, time to give our stallion his gift" Celestia said as his door slammed shut behind him an locked.

"Oh fuck me" he said.

"That's the plan" Chrys said.

Chapter 16 - Baixao, Surprise

The void
Location - unknown

Tony groaned as he pushed himself up off the ground, he looked to see that he was in the middle of a black shadowy forest, in front of him was a black throne where a hooded figure sat, staring at him from its hood. "What the fuck?" Tony asked.

"Welcome Anthony, we need to talk" said the person in a cold emotionless voice, their voice was echoed by voices, some whispered and some screams.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"I am your Lord and Mistress Baixao, and I am quite disappointed in you" it stated, the last two words were echoed as screams of anger and pain.

"How are you disappointed?" Tony asked.

"One you didn't die, two you freed the Crystal Empire, three you slayed the dragon attacking Sanctuary, four you save the Orcs and Elves, five you protected Black Claw and six you helped and accepted Cadence" it said, even in its emotionless tone, Tony felt dread run through him.

"Wait what about Saving Chrys?" He asked.

"Oh that is the only reason I haven't killed you myself, I enjoy Changelings, they are entertaining" it said as laughing came from all sides, making Tony look around only to see no one. "So as to why you are here, I as three things of you, if you complete these three things then I shall maybe forgive you" it said

"And what are these Three things?" Tony asked nervously.

Baixao chuckled before a tome appeared in it's hand before opening it. "First, you shall retrieve Grogar's collar for me from the Ancient Equestrian Vault, Second, you shall open a portal to this world's Nether realm and murder it's king before taking over, Third, you shall murder one of your Allies or Friends, your choice, but excluding family and mates" it said before the tome vanished.

"What?! that's madness!" Tony said as Baixao growled a low demonic growl. "What are you going to do if I don't" Tony asked confidently.

"You shall see at sunset, which is in 5 minutes" it said before clicking it's fingers and Tony fell unconscious.

Armonia
Location - Sanctuary, Medical Centre

Tony groaned as he awoke on the hospital bed, he looked sound to find his Father next to him looking through Tony's data pad, reading his notes and mission reports. "Sir?" He asked as Louis looked up and smiled.

"Hey Tony, how are you feeling?" He asked as Tony nodded and sat up.

"Yea I'm okay, weird dream... What are you doing?" He asked.

"Oh well I'm just seeing who you were and to be honest I am actually quite proud of you, even for that mission that caused you to be transferred" he said as Tony nodded and looked down. "Anyway how about you tell me about your life seeing I missed so much" he said as Tony smiled and took a deep breath to start explaining.

(Female Ward)

Stacy was laying unconscious on her bed as the rest of the marines stood in the room talking, they were trying to figure out what to do as Emily watched the sunset through the window and sigh. "Hey Em I'm sure your family got off Harvest" said Lorenzo as the sun fell behind the ridge line.

"Thank you Jamie" she said with a small smile. "I hope they are".

"Well maybe we can get you back to them some.... gah!" He was saying before a hand burst through his chest and armour before he was raised off the ground.

"Lorenzo!" Emily cried out as he was torn in half, to show Stacy in her hospital gown standing, her arms were covered in blood and her eyes were black, she was about to attack Emily when she was shot with a shotgun by Luke, sending her into the wall before she pulled herself to her feet, the gown was damaged so the remaining marines could watch her body repair itself.

"What the fuck?" The captain asked before Stacy grabbed a plastic knife and drove deep into the ODST's neck. The marine gurgled before the plastic blade was ripped across her throat, snapping the blade before she collapsed with two inches of plastic in her neck.

"Run" Luke yelled as Emily ran out the door, but as Luke made it to the door, he was grabbed and ripped back inside with super human strength, before he was ripped limb from limb by the feral human.

"Help!" She screamed as she ran.

(Tony's room)

"Help!" The two heard before they exited the room only to be confronted by Wilks as she was panicking.

"Wilks what's wrong?" Asked Louis.

"Jenkins, she murdered the others" she said as tears ran down her face as the Marshall hugged her,

"Peek Gninnur" shouted a voice from down the hall, the group looked to see the pilot walking towards them, her hospital gown was drenched in blood and she had a Scalpel in he hand "I t'nod tnaw ot truh uoy" she said as she approached before stopping and looking at Tony before throwing the blade into Emily's hip, penetrating deeply and causing her to drop to the ground, crying in pain.

"Jenkins why are you doing this?" Asked Louis.

"This is your punishment Anthony, instead of your father dying instantly, he shall die in front of you slowly" she said in a echoed voice before lunging forward and knocking both men back, black energy formed around Tony's limbs so he couldn't move she then grabbed Emily's assault rifle and place her foot on Louis's chest, keeping him down with incredible strength before she emptied the clip into Louis's legs and groin then she reloaded and fired into the man's arms and shoulders before discarding the rifle. "M'i yrros" she said as she walked over to Emily before grabbing her own head an tore it off while screaming out in pain, Emily simply watched as tears fell down her face. Once Stacy removed her head, she dropped to the ground as black tendrils left her body and pierced Emily's causing her to cry out and move her limbs around frantically as the tendrils stretched, spit and ruptured her circuitry system before moving to her nervous and causing her entire body to spasm in different painful feeling, like burning, stabbing and tightness.

Her head turned to face Tony as tears and blood flowed from her eyes. "Why" she asked him before her chest started to expand before exploding in gore, leaving a shadowy person standing in her open chest cavity, her organs and bones scattered through out the hall way, the creature looked at Tony to show it had no face until a large mouth formed in the shape of a fanged smile.

"This is your punishment for surviving" it said before fading away, moments later Armonian Marines burst into the hallway only to vomit or faint at the sight.

"Sir?!" One yelled as he ran over to Tony, who was looking at the mess in total silence, he barely blinked as the Dragon waved his hand in front of his face. "Sir? What happened here?" He asked.

"The price of my survival" he muttered.

"I don't understand sir" he said before slapping Tony's face gently gaining his attention.

"What?" He asked.

"Sir what happened?" He asked.

"An entity brought them to Equis just to kill them in front of me" he said as the dragon looked at the scene again.

"Why would someone do that?" He asked as he helped Tony to his feet.

"Because I wasn't meant to survive or be a hero here" he said as he took one last look at his father before he was taken out of the hospital to one of the several jeeps out the front, only two had mounted guns. "Where are you taking me?" He asked.

"I'm taking you home sir, you are not in a goo place so you need to be somewhere happier" he said as Tony nodded and got into the passenger seat as the dragon climbed into the driver seat.

"What's your name?" Tony asked a they were driving.

"Ash Wing Sir, just finished training a few days back" he said as Tony nodded.

"How did you find it?" He asked.

"I didn't go a day with out vomiting from exhaustion" Ash said as Tony chuckled.

"Yea I went easy on you lot" he chuckled as they soon arrived.

"Want me to help you to the door or not sir?" He asked.

"I should be good Ash, thanks" Tony said.

"Might want to have a shower first Sir, your covered in blood" Ash said as Tony looked at his top and saw the white shirt was now a dark red.

"Will do, make sure to save the dog tags, burn the bodies so we care release their ash like usual" Tony said as Ash nodded while Tony dismounted. "I'll see you later" he said.

"Yes sir" Ash said before driving off. Tony sighed as he watched the marine leave before he made his way to his front door and entered, as he entered her was confronted by a tall, White, curvy, Alicron mare with a Pink Mane and tail that flowed in a invisible wind.

"Hey Molly, nice look, but why are you naked?" He asked as she smiled at him.

"I figured you were coming home so I wanted to surprise you" she said before walking over to him, only to notice something. "Eh what's wrong? Am I that bad looking?" She asked looking at herself.

"No you look amazing, it's just.... Just, today has been rough" he sighed as he turned to head upstairs to clean himself but he found that he was pulled into something soft and squishy.

"Okay my dear, how about you have a shower to was this blood off you an then I'll rub your back? And I don't mean that in a sexual way" she said as he nodded which lead her kissing his cheek.

"Okay Molly" he said as he went upstairs and entered his room, only to find a tall Black Curvy Moon and Chrys rutting poor Cloud on his bed. "Really?" He asked leaning against the door which caught their attentions, all but Chrys turned bright red.

"Hey baby" Chrys said getting up before walking over and kissing his cheek. "What are you doing home so early."

"Something really bad happened so I am just gonna have a shower and relax" he sighed before Chrys nodded and looked at Cloud.

"Cloud Dear, could you assist Tony in the shower please?" She asked as Cloud nodded and walked over.

"I should be fine" he said before Cloud gently took his hand and lead him into the bathroom, much to Moon's protest about not being finished yet.

"Oh shush Moon, I'm not done with you" Chrys said gently grabbing her and teleporting away.

Tony looked at his naked maid, who was smiling at him as he began to undress himself, he heard the shower turn on as he finished undressing. As he entered the shower, he sat down as the shower had been improved to fit the massive Changeling Queen, once seated, Cloud sat behind him and wrapped her arms around him before nuzzling his back. "Want to talk about what happened?" She asked him a he sighed and began to explain everything, excluding his mission for the entity. " that's horrible, I'm sorry" she said as she had moved to sit in front of him and on his lap.

"It's fine, nothing I could really so" he said as she nodded while scrubbing his hair to get the pieces of bone and organic matter from it, which was annoying as his hair was also red naturally.

"Well I know one thing that would cheer you up" she said before hopping off his lap.

"Your not are you?" He asked as she nodded, "okay but we better be quick as Molly is waiting" he said.

(Clop)

Cloud wrapped her ham around his shaft and began to massage it while he grew hard on her hand, once he was considerably hard, she lowered her head and begun to lick and kiss the tip while he hand moved to his base and gently pumped up and down his lower half. Tony groaned softly as he moved his hands to her wings and massaged the base.

Cloud moaned from the attention on her wings as she took the tip in her mouth and moved up and down a few inches while using her tongue to lick it as much as she could while sucked softly, her own moaned with vibrating his member slightly causing him to moan as she started to take more and more slowly until his cock's tip brushed the back of her throat, but it wasn't the first time she had done this to him so she repositioned herself and pushed down until he popped into her throat cause Tony to moan louder and give he wings a gentle squeeze.

She began to pump her head up and down hard and faster while sucking harder, while also taking more and more of his length, to the point where the bulge was clearly visible in her throat, but Tony would last much longer and Cloud knew this. "Cloud, I..... Fuck I can't last much longer" he moaned as she pushed her lips down and against his groin, taking him fully in her mouth and throat while her throat constricted around him before she pulled back up fully and plunged back down, she continued this at a quick pace until she felt his member pulsate so he pushed down fully just a he came inside of her throat, rope after rope shot down her throat before she began pulling him out, filling her mouth with his seed before pulling her mouth off and swallowing as a few remaining ropes landed on her face.

"Feeling better now Tony?" She asked as she used her tongue and fingers to pick up the stray cum.

"Yea, a lot " he said panting slightly.

(Clop end)

The two shared a moment of washing each other, and Tony Preening Cloud after he messed up her wings before to two exited the bathroom in towels to see that candles were lit, incense was burning and soft music was playing. "I'll go find Chrys and Moon" Cloud said before kissing Tony and leaving the room, just as Molly entered with a smile.

"You like?" She asked as he nodded. "Come, lay down" she said gesturing the bed which had new sheets on it, as Tony laid down, he noticed Molly drop her rope and straddle his thighs before gently kissing his scarred back "ready?" She asked as Tony simply nodded, she smiled and poured warm lotion on her hands and began massaging it into his back. "Normally I wouldn't do this for anypony, including mates, but seeing as you are so much different then anypony I have ever met, I think it would be okay" she said as she worked on his back.

"Well you are one of a kind Molly, and I'm Lucky to have you" he said with a sigh just as the door opened.

"Oh Hello Cadence, what are you doing here?" Asked Molly as Cadence entered, closed the door and sat laid next to Tony.

"Hey, I just wanted to talk to Tony about something Important, if that's okay?" She asked as Tony gave the thumbs up. "Okay so we have been dating for a few months now, and we have had sex and said I Love you to each other, but I wanted to take it one step further" she said as Tony looked at her. "I want to marry you" she said as Molly slipped and fell on Tony's back.

"Marry me? But why?" He asked her as the White Alicorn was having difficulty getting up due to her continuing to slip on the wet sticky sheets, she eventually give up and simply laid on Tony's back.

"Because even from the start you are so different from Shining, and I love everything about you, and also because I don want our foal to be a bastard" she said confusing Molly and Tony.

"Our Foal?" He asked confused just a Cadance's horn glowed a soft blue colour and we stomach glowed to show it was expanded quite a bit. "Holy shit, how long" he asked.

"Well I conceived them during our first time and I still have ten months left" she said as Tony gently placed his hand against her belly.

"Wait how long does the pregnancy last as what do you mean them?" He asked as she giggled softly at his touch.

"Well Alicorns are roughly 18 months, and well, I'm carrying triplets" she said shocked Molly and Tony.

"What? How?" Asked Molly.

"Well his Changeling DNA caused him to impregnate three eggs" she said.

"Changeling DNA?" He asked.

"Yes you are part Changeling and Alicron" she said shocking Tony.

"So any idea when you want to get married?" He asked.

"In two weeks" he said shocking Tony again.

"Why so early?" He asked,

"I want to be married for a bit before our little ones come into this world" she said as he rubbed her belly.

"Well at least you won't have Chrys ruining it this time. " Molly chuckled.

"I HEARD THAT!" Shouted Chrys.

Chapter 17 - Mares of Honour

Equestria
Location - Ponyville (2 days later)

Tony was sitting in Ponyville Library as Cadence was out with her friend and now fellow Princess Twilight Sparkles, while Tony had to deal with Sparkles friends attempting to interrogate him, when in reality, he was doing paper work while the Cyan one demanded him to fight her to show she was stronger. He was unbelievably tempted to turn the Pegasus into an Earth pony by force but that would upset Cadence, and seeing how she is going through mood swings and has already put him in hospital multiple times in the past few days, he was gonna avoid it.

The Cyan one was fluttering in front of him yelling, her tail was currently being held by the orange Country one, to his right was the Yellow one, who apparently was timid but didn't show it as she watched him work, to his left was the pink one that he tranquilizer as she was hurting his brain at how she ranted on and on about parties and such but the Tony's surprise her friends weren't angry. Lastly Rarity was off making him a new suit as his last was ruined from the Arena battle.

Tony finally closed his book and put it in his ruck sack before standing and walking to the kitchen, passing the small purple drake and grabbed himself a glass of water before he leant against the bench as he thought about what Baixao said to him before he got bonked on the head by the Cyan loud mouth.

"Lets fight?" She said before he grabbed her by the scruff of the neck, causing her wings to spring up straight and dangle from his hand "hey? What's happened".

"Pegasi pressure spot" he said as he help her in the air as he sipped his water.

"That's cheating" she exclaimed as he put her under his arm and walked back into the main room "thisbis embrassing" she said.

"You shouldn't have started shit" he said as she grumbled while the Butter Pegasi giggled.

"Fluttershy!" She said loudly.

"Sorry Rainbow Dash but it is a little funny" she said as Dash huffed moments before Cadence and Twilight returned.

"Dear, why have you got the Element of Loyalty under your arm and Why is the Element of Laughter asleep and drooling on the couch" she asked before levitating Dash out from under his arm and climbing into his lap.

"Well the pink one was distracting while I was working and Dash here was bugging me while I was working" he said as his arms went around the Pink Alicorn and she nuzzled him.

"Well that doesn't mean you can treat them like naughty pets" she said as she burried her muzzle into his neck.

"I know, so did you and Twilight have a fun day?" He asked and Cadence nodded.

"It was fun until Eirs tried to ruin it..... she found out why it isn't smart to deal with a hormonal Alicorn" she said.

"Wait Hormonal?" Asked Twilight as Cadence smirked before her horn light up and the spell hiding her enlarged belly disappeared, showing all the conscious ponies her pregnant belly. "Oh my Celestia" she said as she placed a hoof gently against her belly along with Fluttershy and and other two mares.

"How long?" AppleJack asked.

"Several months now" she said as she smiled at Tony, who gently scratched her behind the ears making her coo in delight.

"Who is the father" asked Dash, who got deadpan looks from everyone in the room. "Wait him?" She asked shocked as Cadence nodded.

"Is there a problem with that" Caxen e growled causing Dash to move backwards with her ears flattened.

"No its just shocking th a anypony could like such a monster" she said as Cadence turned her head and glared daggers at the mare.

"I don't like this monster..... I love him and insult him again and you'll be known as Rainbow Blitz" she growled as she looked sad. "I'm sorry I don't know what came over me" she said getting teary eyed before burying her face into Tony's neck.

"It's fine Cadence, Dash shouldn't have been rude" Twilight said.

"Oh I forgot to ask but will you be my mares of honour?" She asked just as Rarity entered the library and fainted from shock.

Equestria
Location - Castle of the Two Sisters

A white mare sat on a balcony, her blue mane was tied in a pony tail as she looked over the forest, around her neck was the Alicorn Amulet that she stole from a Zebra, she was able to repair her horn and summon an ally to assist her, but unfortunately the resurrection spell went wrong. Her ally approached with a clock over its form as its red and black curved horn came out of the hood. "Have you prepared your cultists Sombra?" She asked as Sombra growled before nodding.

"Yes I have Shining" he said.

"No its Mistress Glimmer Shield to you" she said as her horn glowed red.

"My mistake.... Mistress Glimmer Shield" he said as she smirked before dismissing him.

"I shall ruin your wedding Whorse and then kill your mate and Goals before taking you back my dear Cadence" she said with a smirk as she watched the small town of Ponyville in the distance.

(A week and a half later)
Equestria
Location - Canterlot

Tony was doing up his pants, as Chrysilis sat on the guest bed under the covers happily watching him, he smiled at her as he grabbed his shirt "so are you go in to join my dear?" He asked as she smiled.

"I will but I just wanted to talk to you first" she said as she sat up, the blanket falling down to reveal her large bust.

"Whats up?" He asked as she took a deep breath before producing a golden band from her body.

"I wish to start a hive with you" she said as he smiled and climbed onto the bed.

"Why all of a sudden? Is this cause of Cadence?" He asked.

"No.... yes.... maybe" she said before sighing. "I want a new hive in Armonia and I want you to be my king..... this is really important to a Changeling Queen as it means that I won't produce mindless slaves but I will actually give birth to thinking children who can have their own families and such" she said as she pulled him into her lap and looks into his eyes. "I want to make you my mate and give you the ability to impregnant me" she said as he nodded before she smiled and rolled up his sleeve to show the Inc he thick ring on his upper left arm where Celestia severed his arm, she attached the ring before looking at him. "This will hurt for a moment" she said as Tony nodded before she bit into his neck and pumped a seering hot liquid into his blood stream, causin him to gasp silently as he felt her fingers intertwine with his before the burning pain vanished and she removed her fangs before licking the wound.

"You weren't kidding" he said as she smiled and he kissed her softly.

"I... I... I love you" she said softly causing him to blush before smiling.

"I love you too" he said as she smiled.

"I know" she said before removing the metal ring from his arm, showing the mark was now tattooed with multiple runes. "The green suits you" she said as he cocked and eyebrow before she summoned a mirror and showed him, causing him to smirk at the aqua green strip in his hair.

"It does a bit" he said before she placed the mirror down before pinning him to the bed. "Chyrs?" He asked.

"Time to start our hive" she said as he smirked.

(Two hours later)

Tony was walking through the Castle halls with Chrys, who was in a aqua green dress, behind them was a detachment of Armonian Marines, most hand stealth units while the rest had over shields, these were some of the force that Tony had brought as he wanted to make sure that Baixao didn't ruin the wedding. There was about 15 stealthed marines, 3 snipers, 5 over shield marines and two heavy weapon marines.

When the group reached the chapel, they were early so the marines got into position while Tony sat on the steps as Chrys looked around the chapel and sighed. "I nearly conquered Equestria in this very room" she said with a smile before sitting next to Tony and nuzzling him.

"I just hope this day goes smoothly" he said as she smiled before kissing his cheek.

Chapter 18 - Wedding, Glimmer, Icarus

Tony was sitting in the Chapel as he sipped from his bottle of water, it would be a while before the proceeding started but he was nervous, heck he would rather be on a Covernant Super Carrier..... okay not that nervous bu you get the picture, to his immediate left was Chrysilis learning her back against him as she looked around the room "I hopped Celestia to that wall there" she said pointing at a wall which was slightly off colour, "chained the Elements of Harmony to that one" she pointed to another near the door " and was blasted through that window" she said before chuckling "memories" she purred and lent against him while Tony chuckled.

"Yea been here for over half a year now and I'm enjoying the calmer life" he said before checking his watch and seeing they had a few minutes until people began arriving, he looked up to see Moon, Molly and the rest of his herd and friends enter and take seats near the front.

"Hey Chrys, aren't you upset that your not marrying Tony first?" Asked Moon as the Changeling giggled and shook her head.

"No Changeling queens don't work like that" she said just as Celestia and Luna entered, Celestia sat next to Tony and Luna sat on his lap.

"And how do Changeling Queens commit?" Asked Celestia as Luna was being all lovely dovey to Tony as she rubbed her face all over his.

"Well if Luna would stop molesting his face with her own, Tony can removed his tops and I can show you" she said as Luna blushed and stopped as Tony pulled off his tie, dress shirt and Suit jacket as Chrys gently took his left arm. "In the band that was created when you cut off his arm, I have marked Tony with my name in ancient Changeling" she said as her fingers gently brushed over the runes "along with that, I have altered his DNA so that now he is part Changeling, a Changeling King to be exact as male Changelings are only artifical" she said as the group nodded.

"So you are going to have a new army of drones?" Celestia asked as Chrys shook her head.

"No, I'll produce about ten more drones called Hive Mothers which can produce independent Changelings which will look just like Changelings but they won't have bug eyes and they will have names and tails which are unique but will have a Aqua streak like Tony's does as its a way of showing that they are mine" she said kissing the human's cheek.

"Why couldn't you have done this before and why will they be your last?" Luna asked.

"Well Hive Mothers can only be produced when a Changeling Queen and King mate, after they are born, I will only be able to give birth to Princesses which like the children of the Hive Mothers and be independent, also any Changelings born of the Hive Mothers can breed on their own accord and even leave the Hive to live their own lives and will be like normal ponies" she explained.

"And what of these Hive Mothers?" Asked Sweet Heart.

"Well after they give birth, they die, this is the case of them and any other drones as the hivemind is severed" she explained before stretching as Tony got redressed moments before dozens of guards and servants entered the room along with nobles and went to their places, Tony's Friends and Partners were on one side while Cadence's were on the other. The most amusing thing was that the only quadrapedal on Tony's side were a few royals from the Thresal, Zebra kingdoms, Saddle Arabia and Fleur sitting with Fancy and Rarity while the other elements sat on the other side. The Royal Guard were dwarfed by the Armonian Marines, the Chaplian was standing at the alter with Tony as the doors opened to show a few fillies and a Purple and green Dragon hatchling approach followed by Cadence with her disguise spell on her belly to hide it, she wore a pink and gold dress which even though it was redundant, it made her look prettier, next to her was Twilight in her own dress walking her up to the Alter.

Once arriving at Cadence smiled happily at Tony as the Chaplian began the service, after about 10 minutes the doors were kicked open to reveal 6 six black armoured ponies, a hooded Pony with a familiar horn and Shining Armour.

"Attention I Glimmer Shield have come to....." she said as the room was filled with the sound of guns chamering and aiming at her, this caused the 6 armoured ponies and hooded Pony walked next to a wall, sat down and stuck their legs up in the air in surrender.

"We Surrender" said the hooded Pony which sounded alot like Sombra.

"Traitors!" Glimmer shouted before turning only to see a sight she never though possible, Cadence giving a death glare "oh buck" she said forming a shield armoured herself.

"Why is it that Every Fucking time that I want to get married, some Fucker messes it up" She growled as her horned glowed brightly.

'She is using human swearing, I don't know whether to be proud or scared' Tony thought as all the guards, maids and Marines got out of the way as Glimmer simply gulped.

"I surrender" she said as a massive pink beam slammed into the shield and sent Glimmer flying away in the bubble like a bouncy ball, bouncing off walls before shooting out a win down at high speed and disappearing into the distance before the Alicorn of Love turned to face Tony.

"Now let's continue" she said as Tony and everyone else nodded. Soon the ceremony was complete and Cadence teleported herself and Tony to her old room and laid on the bed with him and nuzzled him moments before Celestia teleported into the room with several guards and the 6 armoured ponies and the hooded pony. "Aunty why have you brought them here?" Cadence complained as her hoof was up and under Tony's top.

"Sorry my dear but these dark ponies have a gift for you both" she said as Cadence looked confused.

"And what is this gift?" Tony asked as he rise from the bed as the dark ponies shoved the hooded pony forward.

"This mare" they said as the mare removed her hood to show it was Sombra.... but female.

"I know I know I'm a mare, Glimmer brought me back but she messed up wit the ritual so I'm female now" she groaned as Cadence grew a wicked grin.

"Alright and to repay your crimes you shall be Tony's and my Personal Maid" she said as Celestia nodded.

"Wait what?" Tony and Sombra asked.

Earth
Location : Orbit, Classified
Status :Classified
Orders :Investigate signals/ Recover any lost marines

"I can't beleive we are being pulled away from the front lines" groaned a Spartan in Black armour and with a helmet with a dome shaped visor on it. "Like they said it was Classifed" he groaned as he loaded a crate of supplies onto the Heavy Prowler.

"It's something to do with a few mission ships, I believe" said a female Spartan in red armour as she checked the system's.

"Oh I heard about that, ships and Marines have been vanishing since the start of the Human-Covenant war and after" the black Spartan stated as he strapped the create down "but why are they sending the five of us Jay?" He asked as a Blue and Green Spartan came out of the Prowler's cockpit.

"Because Leo, we are a skilled team and this prowler is equipped with a Shiva" he said as he walked over to the Red Spartan "what's the status Jill?" He asked.

"Nonlinear cannon operational and Shiva nuclear missile operational also Jay" she said as Jay nodded as he looked over to a yellow Spartan with lime green on her armour.

"Whats the condition of the Pelican Amy?" He asked as he walked over.

"Well the missile pods are shot to shit, the forward 70mm rotating cannon has been replaced by a 40mm and the interior has been refitted to transport wounded" she said as she continued working on the missile pods.

"Alright where is Chris?" He asked.

"He is with the Admiral retrieving the list of beacons that were picked up" she said just as a white and purple armoured Spartan entered the Prowler "speak of the devil" she chuckled.

"Are we ready to go?" Chris asked as Jay gave him the thumbs up. "Good we will be hitching a ride on the Infinity before it drops us off a few months away from our target, is the cryo systems in place?" He asked.

"Yep and all set" Leo said as he finished locking the crate into place.

"Good well better get strapped in" Chris said as he closed the ramp and headed for a Cryo pod with all but Jay, who went to the cock pit.

As he did, he went over the checks before opening a radio Channel. "UNSC Valhalla, this is the Icarus, permission to disembark?" Jay asked.

"Your free to go, Icarus, opening bay door" a voice said before the hanger bay door opened and Jay disengaged the landing gear's magnetic locks before he lifted the Prowler up and glided out if the Carrier and set a course for the Infinity.

"Ron, please set our Cryo pods to activate when we reach our disconnection point" Jay asked.

"Affirmative sir" the on board AI stated as Jay landed on the hull of the Infinity and attached itself using its Magnetic locks.

"UNSC Infinity, this is the Icarus, we have attached" Jay said.

"Understood Spartan, Sleep well" replied a voice.

"Will do sir" Jay said as the blast shield on the cock pit sealed and he went to his Cryo pod next to Leo "see you soon Ron" he said to the AI.

"Affirmative Sir" the AI responded as Jay was frozen.

Chapter 19 - Caribou, Reach's Redemption

Equestria
Location - Crystal Empire

Tony was lying in the massive bed in Cadence's room, she had picked for Tony to spend the remainder of her pregnancy with her in the Crystal Empire, that was several months ago and now Cadence was doing her thing as Princess while some random pony attempted to teach Tony how to be a Prince but that resulted in Tony not paying attention as he began to boop Sombra's nose, at first the Ex-Tyrant hated it but after months of it she started to enjoy the attention from her new master.

She had also started to go by Umbra and usually stayed around Tony as the Crystal ponies Avoided him like the plague, this was useful for her as the ponies spewed hate towards her.

It was roughly 11pm as Tony was lying on his back asleep with Umbra sleeping on him peacefully, the room was in complete silence until a rapid knocking was heard from the door causing the two to groan loudly causing Tony to sit up and Umbra to unwillingly roll off of him. "What?" He called out.

"Sir, your presence is required now Sir" stated the butler as he entered only to see Umbra on her back looking unimpressed and Tony already up and getting dressed.

"Thank you, anything else?" He asked.

"Yes why do you keep that bitch around?" He asked gesturing Umbra who was now upright.

"I ask the same about you, now if you are done insulting my friend, wait outside before I shove you out" Tony said walking over and towering over the Crystal pony.

"Y-yes sir" he said running out as Umbra gave a snort of annoyance.

"Should have killed him" she said.

"You do know how hard it is to get blood out of silk right?" He asked as he scratched the mare behind the ears making her moan softly "besides I do enjoy scaring assholes" he chuckled as she climbed off the bed.

"Well thank you anyway my friend" he said giving a soft smile while Tony put on his holster and slotted his Magnum in along with attaching his shield to his left wrist. "But I am happy somepony.... someone sorry, is there for me, and I am surprised Cadence is so nice to me even though well you know" she said as Tony nodded and attached his combat knife and grabbed his datapad.

"Its cool Umbra and besides she is in a herd with Chrys who ruined her first wedding" he said with a shrug as she nodded before the two exited. "Where to?" Tony asked the Butler as he gestured them to follow. After several minutes they arrived at a the Crystal Empire war room "odd" Tony commented as him and Umbra entered to find Sweet Heart, Celestia, Molly, Luna, Moon, the Elements of Harmony, Cadence and Chrys standing around a large round hologram of Equestria as a weird mix matched creature floated above on a recliner.

"Ah Tony, you're here, please come here" Celestia said as the two walked over while a few of the Elements glared at Umbra, who stayed close to Tony.

"Whats wrong?" He asked as he looked down at hologram.

"Well the Caribou is pushing against the Eastern border and we need you troops to deal with the Caribou once and for all" She said as he nodded before looking at the hologram.

"So kill King Daine and take over?" He asked as Celestia nodded.

"Yes that is exactly mission" Luna said as Tony nodded and pulled out his Datapad and tapped a few buttons.

"Alright cool I'll get my gear" he said slipping the device back into his pocket.

"Cool and take care " Celestia said as his Herd mates took their chances to kiss him and tell him their affection before he headed for the door. "Oh Umbra please stay as we have something to discuss" she said as Umbra nodded and stayed as Tony headed for where his few marines were stationed.

Once he was out of earshot Twilight spoke up. "Princess, why didn't you tell him about Tirak? Better yet why are you sending him away?" Twilight asked as the rest of the Mane six agreed.

"Because Tirak is incredibly powerful and we don't want Tony to die" Moon said. "Now Umbra tell us all you know of the Centur.

(Carriage bay)

Tony was sitting on the ramp of the only Pelican in the Empire as he watched the four marines gear up and climb on board. Tony knew the mares were hiding something from him and he would get to the bottom of it soon enough when he returned. He waited until the last was on until he climbed up, closed the ramp and entered the cockpit before taking off and heading for Armonia, on the way he turned on the radio "Armonia Control, this is Captain Anthony Bell, over" he said.

"Roger Captain, what's your status?, over" a voice said.

"I need all the allied Dignitaries informed to come to Sanctuary ASAP, Over" he said.

"Roger sir, what do I tell them?, Over" the voice replied.

"We are taking the fight to the Dominion, Over" Tony said which gained the attention of the four marines in the pelican.

"Roger sir, see you soon, Over" the voice confirmed.

"Sir, who are we attacking?" A female elf asked as she walked into the cockpit while holding the strap on the roof, her armour was identical to a ODST's even the helmet.

"The Caribou" he said as she did a little fist pump.

"Awesome, but we need to save all the females and children as most I not all are slaves and the boy's haven't been brainwashed yet" She said.

"I get that, and I was gonna do that but thank you for the input Sergeant" he said with a nod as she replied with a nod.

(Several Hours later)

Armonia
Location - Sanctuary Military Base

As Tony landed, he unbuckled and walked out as one of the marines opened the ramp to see several Marines, Dark elf warriors, Centaurs, Goblins, Earthens, Orcs, Elves and a few large Dragons being fitted with equipment before Tony was confronted by Black Heart of the Dark Elves and Inferno of the Dragons. "Tony, what is happening?" Inferno asked.

"The Caribou is pushing against Equestrian borders so Celestia asked if I could deal with it but I believe if we hit actually charge the Caribou, and weakened the Dominion while saving slaves and children from behind manipulated" he said as they walked into the armoury before stripping his top and pants and changing into his ODST Armour.

"Well we are happy to be here to help Tony" Black said smirking as she watched him change.

"Yes and as you have seen I have brought more than a Draconian" Inferno said gesturing the window towards the building sized Dragon "Air and Earth dragons" he added.

"Brilliant" Tony said before Smitty burst in.

"Tony I have something amazing to show ya" he said before grabbing Tony's Wrist and pulling him outside. As Smitty dragged the half naked human through the base to a warthog, plenty of marines and soldiers watched with smirks. "In ya get laddy" he said as Tony groaned before Climbing into the passenger as Smitty climbed in the back. "Driver, to the site" Smitty said as the driver began driving out of Sanctuary and into the Badlands, after a few hours they arrived at a massive ravine, wide enough to fit Canterlot in with some space left over, near the edge was a pelican with a dozen marines. "We are 'ere" Smitty said as the Hog parked and Smitty and Tony dismounted.

"What did you find?" Tony asked as they walked over to pelican before he was handed a assault rifle.

"A UNSC Craft" Smitty said with a smile.

"How long has it been down there?" Tony asked checking the rifle.

"A week or less" one of the marines stated as Tony nodded before grabbing a spare combat vest and mounting the pelican with the marines and Smitty as it took off and descended into the darkness below, the spot light of the Pelican revealed the vessel when they were far enough down, Tony was standing next to the pilot inspecting the ship.

"She seems in good condition, and if I'm not mistaken this is a Marathon Class Heavy Cruiser, this baby is a powerhouse and if we get her working, we can air lift slaves and children onto her while the main force fights and when we finish we can use the bombers on board" Tony said before they noticed the hanger bay doors open. "Looks like we have been noticed, be careful when you put her in" Tony said before walking out into the troop area to see the marines slip helmets on as Smitty was had a pirate ship cannon next to him which was converted into a rifle, Tony was about to say something before he felt the Pelican land and the ramp open to see the black interior of the hanger, some light was produced from Pelican creating a small area of light.

"Flashlights on and watch out for an Ambush" Tony said as he moved down the ramp and turned on the flashlight and scanned area to see the outlines of pelicans and Longswords, Tony was soon followed by his team of marines and Smitty, who had a candle In his beard lit.

"Your orders sir?" One asked.

"Give me a sec to remember the lay out" Tony said as he turned his head aimed his rifle to show a door. "This way, stick close" he said as the team of Elves and Dark elves moved with him and Smitty waddled along behind.

Tony opened the door and entered with the group and slowly made their way through the corridors, Tony was getting a sickening case of deja vu as they arrived at an elevator, which opened just as they made it. "I don't like this laddy" Smitty said as Tony nodded.

"You lot wait out here while Smitty and I go up, if we are not back in five minutes, leave without us" Tony ordered as the marines nodded while Smitty and Tony got in the elevator and ascended without him pressing the button.

"I don't like this one bit" the Earthen said as Tony took a deep breath before the elevator reached its destination and opened to show a fully lite Bridge with the blast shields down over the Windows.

"Gentlemen, please come in" a disembodied voice said as the two entered before the elevator closed causing Smitty to jump as a pedestal glowed and a crimson 6 inch tall woman appeared standing on it with a small datapad in her hand as she scrolled through it casually. "So you must be the Captain all the radio chatter has been on about recently?" She asked looking at Tony nodded "do you have a Datapad with your information in it marine?" She asked as Tony opened his cargo pants pocket and pulled it out before connecting it to the pillar. "Yes I see, hmmm I see you were a captain of the Marine Corp but were transferred to the space Corp due to the lack of captains in comparison to ships, which is where you were trained to command a Marathon class Cruiser before they stuck you in a Horgan class destroyer" she said as Tony nodded. "Okay so I think you know the run of the ship to let me be her captain, as for what your Datapad tells me, we are far from home" she said before clapping and the audioable sound of the engines engaging.

"Um where is the crew?" Tony asked as Smitty clapped his hands and nothing happened making him frown.

"Well the UNSC Plague Doctor was one of the Dozen created to fight the flood during the second Human Flood war" she explained.

"Human Flood War?" Tony asked.

"Yes it became apparent that there were more than one gravemind in our galaxy, so starships were refitted to be controlled by AI fully while having Manufacturer on board to drop for troops, also the Plague Doctor's usual weapons systems have been replaced with mostly bombardment weapons save for the Mass Accelerator Cannons which there are three, also the Five Fusion Missiles have been replaced with Shiva Nuclear missiles" She explained as Tony nodded and Smitty gave a confused expression.

"Okay so what is the Flood?" Tony asked.

"An Ancient parasite that takes over its host's and mutates them" she explained as she showed a video from a marine's helmet cam showing his team getting swarmed but small sickly yellow blobs with tentacles before he shot himself which then showed his corpse getting reanimated."the host can be dead or alive" she said with a shudder.

"Shit, um what is your name and age?" Tony asked.

"Four months, and my name is Abigail" she said with a small bow as Tony nodded and grabbed his Datapad. "Let's head back to Sanctuary then" she said as she rose her hands slowly causing the vessel to rumble before it began to rise as the elevator opened to show the rest of the marines.

"Sir what's happening?" Asked one of them.

"We are taking off, and now we have a serious advantage over the Caribou" he chuckled as Abigail sat down and looked through the files she got from Tony while Tony walked to a panel and pressed and button before the blast shield rose while he pressed a few other buttons and the spotlights came on along with all the lights in the vessel. "Abigail what vehicles and gear do you have on board?" He asked the AI.

"Well as a marine would put it, i have Warthogs, Scorpions, Hornets, Falcons, Long Swords, Short Swords, Elephants, a Vulture and Pelicans and weapons" she said as she continued to read the files.

"Damn, okay so we are out of the ravine, Sergeant can you go contact the driver and tell him to head back the Sanctuary?" He asked as the elf nodded and radioed the driver.

Caribou
Location - City of the Ancients, Castle

King Daine was seated on his throne, he was smiling at his allies, the Fleet Commander of the Covenant, even though the spit jawed armoured alien was a female, she had managed to take over the Gnome, Ogre and Griffin kingdoms in a show of good faith for their alliance, she had brought several of her kin, weapons and other species along with two massive purple ships that one sat close to the ground outside the city and the other was invisible over the city, she had advised the Caribou to become Bipedal so her troops could train them, which he did except he didn't like the fact that she hated slavery and almost killed him several times for it.

"Daine, we have a problem, you are pushing your luck against Equestria and it will lead you to your destruction, this Human is as strong as a Spartan and if he came here, he could disrupt my mission." She said coldly.

"Oh relax Fri'sik, if he came then we would destroy him" Daine said chuckling.

"Your a fool" she growled as one of the creatures, dubbed Elite, arrived. "Yes?" She asked.

"Sir a Human Cruiser has been detected by our Stealth ship" he said as she growled.

"Curses, prepare the army and Daine, gather your men as I have a feeling we will be attacked." She said before turning and leaving with the elite.

(Reach)

Hay groaned as he was awoken from his Cryo Sleep to a loud buzzing as the Pod popped open to show the interior of the Heavy Prowler “Sir, we have arrived at the Transfer point above Reach” Ron said to the Spartan who simply groaned and walked over to cockpit of the Prowler.

“Reach? Why are we here?” Hay asked as he opened the blast shield to witness the newly terraformed planet, around the planet were old ships, either UNSC or Covernant.

“it is were the Icarus will be Transfering to the Reach’s Redemption” Ron said as Jay checked a monitor before pulling off his helmet and groaned as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.

“Reach’s Redemption?” the dark skinned man asked confused before a small Indigo man formed on a pedestal next to Jay and pointed to a ship closing in.

“Yes, a Valient class Super-Heavy Cruiser” he said before a small datapad formed in his hands “Super Carrier Kill count, 6, Covenant Vessle kill count, 37” he said as Jay looked in awe at the massive ship, painted on its hull was 37 in Roman Numerals.

“Holy shit, and why are we hitch hiking on her?” Jay asked.

“Oh she is escorting you and providing Fire support” Ron said.

“What? We don't need a girl like that with us” he said.

“Well you see dozens of frigates and cruisers vanished in the area where your team is going” Ron said as Jay gulped and nodded.

“Fair enough” Jay said pulling on his helmet and pressed a few buttons “Infinity this is the Icarus, Disembarking, Over” Jay said.

“Roger Icarus, Happy Hunting, Over” a voice responded.

“Will do sir, Over” Jay said before turning on the Prowler fully and disengaging the magnetic locks on the landing gear and began to approach the Valient class cruiser “Icarus to Reach’s Redemption, Over” Jay said.

“This is Reach’s Redemption, What's your Status Icarus, Over” a female voice said.

“Permission to Board? over” Jay said before me noticed the Hanger bay open.

“Roger Icarus, Welcome aboard Spartan, Over The voice said as Jay entered the Cruiser and landed.

Jay stood up and walked out of the cockpit before opening the main door as Ron awoke the rest of the team. As Jay walks out he came face to face with a Caucasian woman smiling at him. “Sir” Jay nodded as the rest of the Spartans lined up and stood at attention.

“At ease Spartans, my name is Captain Michelle Walker, I'm sure you lot are quite hungry so will you follow me to the mess hall please” she said before Jay grabbed Ron and slotted him into the back of his helmet and the team followed the Captain.

Chapter 20 - End part 1

Armonia (3 weeks later)
Location - 5 miles East of the Armonia/ Caribou border, Armonian Forward Operating Base.

Tony was sitting in one of the several large locker rooms, he was in his full ODST Armour save for the helmet, which sat beside him. In his open hand sat the locket he was given by Julia before she died, he was simply looking at the picture of when they were younger back on Luna. He stumbled across the locket when he was checking his pouches which was close to an hour prior, with a deep breath he closed the locket and put it back in a pouch before he rose from the bench and grabbed his helmet before leaving the locker room and headed for the armoury. The 100 metre walk seemed to stretch on for miles as Tony's nerves were getting to him, combat wasn't new to him but leading troops into a war zone that would possibly claim their lives brought back bad memories as the marine reached the door and entered.

When Tony entered, he was greeted with half a dozen soldiers at attention and saluting him causing Tony to frown slightly before he gestured a brief salute as the soldiers went back to their tasks. Tony watched them for a moment before walking to a weapon locker and grabbed a Magnum along with several magazines along with a Jackal shield unit before he exited the armoury and headed outside.

As Tony stepped outside, he observed as several pelicans dropped off soldiers before heading back to Sanctuary to retrieve more. Tony watched for a moment before he walked to the command centre of the base which housed only two soldiers unlike its usual thirty, he approached one of the soldiers and tapped her on the shoulder "how many are we waiting on?" He asked as the elf looked through her notes then back at her terminal.

"Two dozen more sir" she said as he nodded.

"Um sir, we have a situation" called the other soldier which caused Tony to walk over to him.

"Whats wrong?" He asked as the Orc pointed to a large group of dots on the radar heading towards the base from the Caribou

"A large group of unidentified airships coming towards us at high speed" she stated.

"Do we have visual?" Tony asked as she nodded and went to a terminal next to her which turns on to see something that caused Tony to freeze in place, a large group of Banshees escorting several Phantoms were on route. "Sound the alarm" he said as the Orc looked at him.

"Yes sir" she said before getting up and running to a panel in which she opened it and pressed a button moments before a large alarm was heard.

Tony nodded and turned to leave just as Chrys, Moon, Molly, Celestia and the Mane six entered. "What the fuck are you lot doing here?" He asked as he went to a wall, as he approached the wall, it opened and a weapon rack came out with several assault rifles. Tony grabbed two, which he tossed to the marines before grabbing himself one.

"Why? Is something wrong?" Celestia asked moments before a large explosion was heard along with several loud whirring noises.

"Yes this base is under attack by Covenant forces" Tony said causing Chrys, Moon, Molly and Celestia to go wide eyed.

"What? How are they here?" Chrys asked.

"Good Question, I'll ask them but first, go with these two marines to the bunker" Tony said as Chrys shook her head but Tony ignored her and stepped passed her just as the door was blown open only for the group to see group of Covenant lead by a Elite Minor get blown apart in the doorway covering them in a mixture of blue and purple gore causing the Mane six to scream.

"Tony... "Chrys started but Tony stopped her by kissing her and pulling on his Helmet.

"Go" he ordered before exiting the building to see a phantom detonate and a long sword squadron flew passed overhead destroying several more phantoms and Banshees while several managed to evade the attack run. Tony began running to one of the defense towers, which was offline but as he was running he saw massive blue plasma rounds crashed into a landing pelican, destroying its wing and causing it to crash into the tower and bring it down on top of a Phantom, pinning the drop ship to the gravel seconds before it detonated.

“I presume you are the Commanding Officer of this facility?” a deep voice asked as auditable thud was heard to Tony’s flank causing him to look and see three Zealot Class Elites with their energy swords in hand.

“I am the commanding Officer, Split jaw, now mind telling me why you lot are here before you attack?” Tony asked as he looked at his rifle and simply dropped it, from the stories and reports of the equipment of a Zealot and their skill, an assault rifle won't help so he decided to try and appeal to their honour and drew his chemically sharpened titanium combat knife and held it in a reversed fashion.

“we have come to prevent your invasion” the centre one said as it looked to its right and nodded causing the Zealot next to it to deactivate its sword and toss it to Tony, who caught the handle that was twice the size of his hand. Tony gave a shocked look before he sheathed his knife and took the handle in both hands and activated the energy sword, he gulped slightly at the knowledge that he would have to one hand the long weapon in order to block and strike properly so he took a deep breath and removed his left hand from the handle be off giving it a few test slashes and nodding before looking back to see that the two elites at the sides had managed to reach a higher area just as dozens of marines poured into the courtyard only for them to be stopped by Tony’s raised left hand. “Your soldiers are impressive but the time for talk has passed” the Elite said before launching forward and attacking with a horizontal strike which Tony blocked but slid across the ground from the force behind the attack.

Tony in turn brought the blade up in a vertical strike quickly only for the Zealot to parry the attack and kick Tony in the chest making him grunt and fall backwards, which he quickly righted himself and lunged forward in an attempt to run the Elite through but only resulted in getting sliced shallowly across the back as the Elite sidestepped him and struck him across his back but in doing so, Tony had drawn his Knife and quickly swung in backwards and pierced the Elite’s shield, armour and skull. The two stood their as Purple and red blood pooled on the ground before the Zealot crumpled to the ground with the knife jutting from where temple used to be, the other two Zealots jumped down to attack only to be crushed as a large Dragon brought its tail down ontop of them before they had a chance to activate their weapons or react. The entire courtyard was for a few moments before Tony deactivated the Energy Sword in his hand and proceeded to remove his helmet and wiped the sweat from his brow.

“All of you, this is the Enemy of Mankind, the kind of Enemy that murders innocents, children and burns worlds because of those they deem unworthy for some bullshit, they came to wipe us out in order to stop us from striking a decisive blow to the Dominion which shows that they see us as a threat…… but now the fight is no longer between nations, no, this fight just went from zero to one hundred real quick as if we don't stop Daine and the Covenant then this world may be turned to glass, you may be turned to glass, your friends, families and those you protect may become glass. I know some of you had doubts about invading the Caribou but listen to me, our commander, a veteran of a decade long galactic war with these people, i have lose so much to these invaders that I can't, i won't stand by and run the risk of letting them take away what you all love, now who is ready to take the fight to Daine and the Covenant?” he asked which was responded with a loud uproar of approval while Tony took a deep breath. “This attack was a small engagement compared to what we will encounter ahead of us, i know that there will be casualties, i know there will be pain, i know there will be fear but what I am asking you all is to return the favor to our enemy tenfold, show them that we don't fear the Dominion and their reign of terror ends, so saddle up, we roll out tomorrow morning” Tony finished as the army dispersed moments before he sat down on the gravel. As he did, Eliza can over to him and knelt behind Tony before she removed his chest armour as she began to heal his back with magic “Thanks Eliza” Tony said to his partner fixed him up.

“no worries Tony, I'm happy that it's not that deep so no real damage was dealt” she said as she rubbed his back gently while the mares walked over to him and looked at him in silence.

“Well, That's the Covenant for you” Tony said to them while his other partners moved closer to him save Celestia, who was looking at the destruction around them. “What's wrong?” Tony asked.

“I was just wondering, if this was a small force, does that mean you will be facing the full force tomorrow?” she asked him as he thought for a moment before nodding. “But you were almost crippled by a small force, you have also lost your arm to this enemy so give me a good reason why I shouldn't banish you to the moon until this is all over?” she asked as she moved closer to him with a frown on her face.

“What will that achieve? “ Tony asked her simply.

“you will be alive and safe” Tia replied with a stomp of her hoof.

“And what about all those who will die and how many would survive if I went?” he asked her.

“But what if you die?” she asked again with another stomp.

“If it meant victory and that the Covenant and Dominion are defeated then it is an acceptable loss” he said as Chrys slapped him.

“That isn't an Acceptable loss, you mean more to Everypony to be another number.” Moon explained.

“So sending the man with a Starship to the moon is a smart idea?” he asked as they all were speechless.

“We could turn you to stone” Moon suggested which Tony gave her a deadpan look.

“Yes and then you have no sex from me, Ever Again” he responded as Molly slapped Moon.

“What about the dungeon?” AppleJack said as Tony glared at her.

“I'm pretty sure he could break out” Twilight said.

“Fine you win Tony” Celestia sighed as she looked at Twilight. “can you take your friends home please?” she asked as Twilight nodded and teleported away with her friends before Celestia teleported the group back to Tony’s place.

“Um why are we at home?” Tony asked as he sat on his couch.

“Well this may be the last chance that we….. we get to spend with you Tony” Chrys said with a short sniffle as she straddled his lap and hugged him.

“Oh…. Okay” he said as his arms went around the Changeling before Luna, Amanda, Mayli, Cadence, Cloud Duster, Amber and Lucy, most of which were in armour.

“What happened?” Lucy asked looking around.

“Well seeing tomorrow most of the Herd is going to war, i thought it would be good idea for us to spend time together while we can” Celestia said as she sat on the couch on Tony’s left.

“Will this require Endurance potions?” Luna asked as all the females smirked “we shall take that as a yes” Luna said before teleporting away.

“Well fuck” Tony sighed before Chrys kissed him deeply.

Chapter 21 - End Part 2,

Armonia
Location - Sanctuary (5:00 Am)

Tony was in his bathroom, simply dressed in black cargo pants, boots and his lower ODST body armour as he shaved and gave himself a buzz cut, his herd were all sleeping together, Sweet Heart had arrived later due to a diplomatic problem. As Tony finished clean himself up, he inspected himself in the mirror, thanks to his Changeling part, a lot of his scars had healed making him appear untouched from a decade of war save from his replacement arm, the thought of going against the Covenant to stop them from destroying his home again made his sigh and tilt his head down at the sink which was filled his water , Ginger and aqua hair. Tony was broken from his train of thought when a pair of dark green arms wrapped around his frame and pulled him against a warm body while a muzzle rested itself on his shoulder.

"Hey Chrys" He said looking up at the mirror to see her holding him tightly with his nose buried into him. "You know I realized that I may cause most of my soldiers awkward when I rock up smelling like nearly a dozen women" Tony chuckled causing Chrys to squeeze him tighter "C-Chrys..... it's getting a b-bit tight" Tony groaned as she stood up straight, picking up the human.

"Why do you have to go?" She asked as she sat him on the bathroom counter facing her.

"Because a good leader leads from the front, Leads by example and protects those who look to him for support" Tony said making the Changeling Queen frown before placing her forehead against his, her horn vanishing from sight as her arm wrapped around her ODST.

"But I have a bad feeling about this, what if you never comeback to me?" She asked him making him freeze up before he broke eye contact and look down to his lap. "Anthony?" She asked.

"You know, i have never really had to worry about that before, never had a family to go back to or surviving friends, not even a pet" he said as he chuckled slightly at the last part before taking a deep breath "you have no Idea how scared I was to have a family, to have little ones on the way and to be a literal hero..... I was and still am so scared of fucking up that every once and awhile I miss being a expendable grunt. " he paused to think about the next part of what he would say as he took another deep breath. "I Love you, all of you even though it was a weird fucked up relationship to begin with where half of you lot simply wanted more than the other, to prove that who was the strongest for some weird reason, i don't know but these last two years I wouldn't change for anything, Yea first time I met Luna, she tried to arrest me, Celestia cut off my arm, i had to save both the orcs and the Elves and Cadence I fucking sexually harassed on accident when I first met her.... and yet it has all clicked together where you all rarely fight against each other.... save for when Celestia sent you all to the moon for making jokes about her planet sized ass" Tony said seconds before a pillow smacked him in the side of the head "Love you Tia" he said as the pillow was surrounded in a midnight blue aura and floated back into the bedroom causing Tony and Chrys to chuckle.

"So what are you getting at Anthony?" She asked.

"That I am grateful of the past two years and that I will come home" he smiled to her.

"Promise?" She asked as he used his finger to draw an X over his heart.

"Cross my heart and.... hope to die" he said with a chuckle as she punched him.

"Smart ass" she grumbled as he chuckled before she kissed him and returned to the large bed and purposefully laid on Amber and Moon, making them groan in annoyance while Tony shook his head before he left the bathroom and went to his chest of draws, but in doing so he received a few whistles which he replied by giving them the finger and chuckling as he pulled out a black top and pulled it on also receiving a few boos.

"Go back to bed you lot" he said as he walked to his personal armoury.

"We are already in bed" Luna replied as he shook his head with a smile before shutting the door and taking a huge sigh. Tony walked over to a large locker and opened it to retrieve the rest of his armour save for his helmet as he got ready, once ready Tony went to a weapon locker and retrieved a pair of Magnums, a Silenced Smg, Shotgun and his Sniper Rifle along with plenty of ammunition. He slotted the Magnums into hip holsters, slung the Shotgun and Sniper Rifle and placed the SMG on the large table in the centre of the room as he retrieved his Jackal shield and stealth unit and attached them to opposing wrists before grabbing grenades along with his helmet and Smg before exiting the armoury to encounter all of his herd sitting on the bed facing him.

"What?" He asked looking at them.

"Eliza, Lucy and Amanda have just informed the rest of us that you have forbidden them to go fight" Tia said.

"I don't need the distraction" Tony said as he walked to the door to leave, "and besides, if I fail, Armonia needs someone to protect it from the Dominion and Covenant" he said as he pulled on his helmet and nodded to them, making the visor come down before he exited the room and left the house to be greeted by a pelican containing Black Heart, Uric, Inferno, Smitty, Elise, Black Beak and a Bipedal Umbra. Tony smiled softly as he boarded the Pelican and sat next to Umbra as she leant against him making him wrap his arm around her as the Pelican took flight which gave Tony the chance to inspect his fellow commanders and friends gear, Black Heart was in a attire that resembled a loose black skirt which his her armour legs, her chest was protected by a studded purple leather vest while her arms had red and blue plate protecting them and to top it off, she had a red velvet cloak over her shoulders while on her hands were taloned gloves holding a black and gold bow and a Katana was on her back next to her quiver.

Next to her sat Elise in a white howl that appeared to cover her silver chain mail, she also had a mask that was the face of the Elven Goddess of Battle and in her hands was a long staff which had a 8 inch hooked blade at its base and head resemble a pair of wings with a white gem in the middle, the entire weapon had a soft golden aura around it as gently sparks occasionally appeared on the staff.

Across from her sat Black Beak who was in a strange mixture of cloth and plate armour, the silver plate covered his upper legs, groin, shoulder, upper arms, head and belly with a small piece of metal over his heart while the rest was covered in a golden cloth. In his hands were a unique weapon, his talons had serrated bladed gloves on them while his left arm had a strange repeating crossbow mounted on it.

To his flank sat Inferno in the Heaviest armour out of them, his entire body save for the webbing of his wings was spiked black, gold and emerald armour, his helmet interesting as it was split in two parts as the part under his jaw was attached to his lower jaw while the rest sat on top which allowed him to bite and breath fire, his weapon of choice was a massive great Sword which, its blade was glowing blue.

Smitty, who was opposite Inferno was in a coat with heavy chainmail underneath and plate arm and leg armour with a chimera fur trim, he wielded a double barrel cannon and his Forge hammer.

Next to Smitty was Uric in dark green spiked plate fully covering his body with a large sadist looking Battle Axe as a weapon.

Lastly was Umbra, who was in black spiked plate armour save for her head, which sat a Onyx crown, she had a crimson cape and cloth around her waist as she had a large Dark crystal and Dragon Sword and Shield.

"Black Heart, how do your agents fair at evacuating the populace?" Tony asked.

"We have successfully extracted 87%, that is the percentage of the willing" She stated as Tony nodded.

"Alright, are your agents extracted?" He asked.

"Yes they are" She replied.

"Smitty, how long until our fireworks are in place?" Tony asked.

"From what I saw before we came to pick you up, 30 minutes" Smitty said as the group felt the Pelican land and the bay door opened to reveal the Plague Doctor's hangar filled with soldiers doing different tasks.

"Okay, everyone go to your designated positions and wait for my go" Tony said as the group nodded and Smitty, Tony and Umbra went to the bridge. Upon arriving, they were greeted by the ship's AI who was busy looking over the statistics before she noticed Tony.

"Ah Captain, i have some bad new" she said.

"The Covenant are here" Tony said walking over to her as Umbra looked around.

"Yes.... How did you know?" She asked him.

"They attacked yesterday" He said as she nodded.

"Alright well I have detected a Covenant Corvette and briefly a Stealth Cruiser"she said tapping a screen making two large purple shapes appear. "This was the Stealth Cruiser's last location" she said pointing to the smaller blob. "And this is the Corvette" she said pointing to the large one.

Tony looked to the screen and removed his helmet and placed it on a console as he rubbed his chin. "So if we don't eliminate the Cruiser then we lose the element of surprise?" He asked as Abigail nodded. "Okay that settles it someone will take the Broadsword in the hangar bay and nuke the stealth cruiser " he said.

"Good plan, just the only problem is that you are the only one that can fly it" Abigal said as Tony nodded.

"Okay, i want the attack to begin as soon as I launch" Tony said as Abigail nodded and began to rise the Cruiser to high altitude.

"My Boy, ya our commander, we can't risk ya dying up there at the start if this battle" Smitty said as Tony smiled and placed his hand on his Earthen friend's shoulder.

"Smitty, if I don't then we will be at a massive disadvantage as they are able to tap out communications with that cruiser so if it isn't wiped out then we will be fucked. " Tony said as Smitty took sighed and nodded before the two shook hands.

"Give 'em hell Ranger" Smitty said as Tony nodded and took his helmet before leaving the bridge and moved towards the Hanger with Umbra next to him.

"This is really stupid of you" She said to him as he shrugged.

"I get that a lot but it doesn't matter, this is what I have to do to help us" he said as they reached the hanger and moved to the Broadsword and checked its weapons.

"And if you die?" She asked him crossing her arms.

"Then I'll punch the Devil in the throat and call him a fucker" he said as he checked that the Heavy fighter had a Shiva Nuclear warhead on it before climbing a small ladder and into the cockpit. "Look, I'm going to drop off the payload which has a twenty second delay before detonating and I'll return to the Plague Doctor and join you before we head into the fray together" he said, lying about the timer as she nodded and stepped back as the cockpit sealed.

"Plague Doctor to Ranger 1, Over" Tony heard Abigail's voice ask over the Radio.

"Yes Plague Doctor?, Over" Tony responded.

"Thirty seconds to launch, Over" she said as the Broadsword was lifted off the deck by a crane and placed in a large airlock as Tony got everything ready to launch as a small red timer appeared on a console. "Good Luck Ranger 1, Over" She said just before the airlock opened and Tony felt his stomach sink as gravity pulled the ship down quickly before the engines engaged and Tony sped towards the last known location of the Stealth Cruiser, as he did, dozens of pelicans dropped from the Starship and headed towards the Caribou.

The Flight itself was nerve racking as Tony flew, his target soon coming into view. The large purple vessel orbiting the planet as Tony approached to destroy it, as he approached he was engaged by several Seraphs which were protecting the ship, forcing Tony to change his attacking angle as he combated the Covenant fighters.

After several minutes of skillful flying and some damage, Tony had dealt with a squad of Seraphs so he began his approach by slowing himself down and entered the shield, as he did he armed the warhead and fired it at the open hangar bay before he changed his course, upon changing his course, he increased his speed to its maximum and flew towards Equis, seconds later the nuke detonated. Unfortunately as the Broadsword was speeding towards the Planet, it was clipped by the EMP from the warhead, Shutting down its systems and making the craft free fall from high altitude.

Caribou
Location - Ionosphere, Plague Doctor's Bridge (5 minutes earlier)

Umbra and Smitty were watching Tony on the radar as he combated the Cruiser's protection in silence, a smile grow on the pair's face as the small shapes quickly vanished only leaving Tony and the vessel, which soon vanished moments later but something caught Umbra's attention when Tony flew past the Plague Doctor at high speed. This caused her to become concerned and went to see Abigail.

"Abigail, Tony isn't slowing down" She said gaining the AI's attention as she checked a data stream.

"Damn, i believe he has been hit by an EMP" she said.

"Ah What?" Smitty asked walking over.

"An Electromagnetic Pulse, it fries tech, but our fighters usually have a backup system which is immune to them so after a few moments the Broadsword should regain power" Abigail explained as they saw the Broadsword on the radar begin to slow and start to curve up only to slam into a building. "Oh no" the AI said covering her mouth just as Umbra and Smitty ran out of the Bridge to the Hanger.

Caribou
Location - 1 mile north of Daine's palace
Status - Severely injured.
ODST's Orders - Survive, Kill King Daine.

The sound of blaring noises and seering pain was what greeted Tony back into consciousness, the first thing he saw was his shattered visor, he found it incredibly to open his left eye so he stopped trying as he turned his head from left to right to see that a large chunk of metal was on his right arm along with a piece of the cockpit window in his left leg. Grunting, Tony pulled his prosthetic arm free, tearing his armour and replacement skin from it before he opened the cockpit and pulled himself free and falling two metres onto a metal desk causing him to groan in pain more before looking up to see the Broadsword begin to tilt and slide towards him so he pulled himself off the desk and moved away just as the fighter fell and smashed through the floor causing the rest of the floor to tilt steeply at the window making him slide down as he tried to grab onto a hand hold but failed as fell from the window and landed on a Phantom that was going past causing him to bounce off and through the window of a building on the opposite side of the narrow street where Tony simply laid on the ground panting as his heart raced a hundred miles an hour before pulling himself agonisingly to his feet and drew his pistol which was the only weapon the managed to stay with him.

“Well that has g-got to be my most interesting landing” he muttered to himself as he made his way to street level and checked his Datapad to get his position before he started his slow and cautious journey to Daine’s palace, doing his best to avoid Covenant and Dominion forces. As he passed by a window, he took the time to look in the reflection to see his bloodied form and noticed that a piece of his visor was sticking out from above his left eye so he removed his helmet and discarded it before pushing on towards the palace. After walking a few more blocks, Tony ducked inside an abandoned store as a swarm of drones flew past, after they were out of sight Tony ripped the chuck of bullet proof glass from his leg and retrieved a BioFoam from his pack and filled his wound before dressing it. Once don't he removed the piece of visor from his face crudely only to discover he had lost sight in it so he bandaged over the wound and dead eye before injecting himself with morphine and picking himself off the blood stained floorboards and continued faster along his way to his target.

(Umbra and Smitty, 5 minutes later)

Upon entering the building which had nearly an entire side destroyed by the crash, Umbra and Smitty along with half a dozen marines made their way to the crash site while eliminating any hostiles they encountered to discover the flaming wreckage which Smitty investigated only to discovered the ruined firearms and chunks of Dragon skin before he returns to the squad.

“Okay ah have good news and bad news” he said to Umbra.

“Good news?” she asked

“Ah didn't find a corpse so ah’m pretty certain he didn't die from the crash” he explained.

“And the bad news?” she asked nervous.

“he is most likely unarmed and from the amount of blood, badly wounded.” he said as Umbra frowned and nodded.

“Alright, let's search for him” Umbra said as they team exited the building.

Caribou
Location - Daine’s Palace

Tony grunted as he climbed the stairs of a small servant entrance while keeping an eye and ear out for hostiles, which he managed to do so he navigated his way through until he discovered Covenant fighting Dominion forces which caught his interest as he hid and watched them fight until only a couple Grunts remained and a Jackal. The Human moved up and quickly dispatched the aliens before grabbing a couple plasma grenades and a Carbine from a dead Elite along with some ammunition, once stocked up, he entered the Throne room to find a silver Elite battling Daine but for some weird reason, it's energy sword didn't pierce his flesh or even burn it as he overpowered the Elite but before he got the final blow, he saw Tony and smirked at his condition.

“Ahhh just the man I wanted to see” he said as suddenly Tony was pulled towards him and was smacked in the ribcage by Daine’s warhammer, causing Tony to fall to the ground winded and in pain as several ribs cracked under the force of the attack. “Oh was I a little rough with you?” he asked as Tony shot him several times but the bullets simply stunned him. “Fool, nothing can pierce my skin” Daine roared as he grabbed Tony by the neck and lifted him off the ground.

Tony was trying to break free from Daine’s grip as he laughed sadisticly “You have tried so hard and come so far but in the end it doesn't even matter” Daine laughed as Tony got an idea, as Daine laughed, Tony forced a plasma grenade into his open maw and down his throat before activating it, he was then dropped by Daine, who was choking on the explosive moments before an explosion was heard and Daine expanse comically before deflating as a goo of bone, organ, muscle, teeth and blood ooze from the undamaged flesh.

“F….. Fuck you” Tony coughed as he regained his breath and smiling slightly at defeating Daine until a loud slow clap was heard.

“Bravo, Bravo I give you a eight for ingenuity but four for the landing” a deep echoed voice said causing Tony to look up and see Baixao sitting on Daine’s throne, the Elite that was stunned by Daine was now a decayed corpse at Baixao’s feet. “Now then since you have achieved three amazing feats, i shall give you two wishes” the Entity stated as Tony pushed himself to his feet.

“Two free Wishes?” Tony asked.

“Lets not get too hasty now” Baixao said chuckling as he rose to his feet also. “Each Wish has its price but i promise they won't harm you or your loved ones physically” He said using his finger to make a Glow X I've his heart.

“Okay, first…. I want the Covenant gone from this world for good” Tony said as Baixao nodded and clicked his fingers causing all the Covenant to suddenly teleport away. “Secondly, i want you to leave and never return or interact with this world” Tony demanded.

“Fair enough and now the costs are, your starship and you are being sent back to your own Dimension” He said clapping his hands.

“Wait! No” Tony said raising his hand to stop him before he was surrounded in a bright light and vanished along with Baixao and the Plague Doctor leaving behind the Armonia Soldiers on board on the ground below.

Outer Rim
Location - Unknown, Plague Doctor

Tony materialised in the same position he was in before he was teleported to find himself alone in a Cryo Bay. “Hello?” Tony asked.

“Anthony? Your alive” Abigail’s voice asked she appeared on a small nearby console only to see his condition and winced.

“Yes, I'm alive and…. I managed to save Equis at the cost of us returning to our own dimension” Tony sighed before coughing.

“I'm sorry…. But I think you better get into a Cryo pod while I send out a distress call” She suggested as Tony nodded as he approached a Cryo pod just after it opened and climbs in, as he turned and looked at Abigail she waved before the pod closed and Tony was frozen. “Sleep well” She said quietly before leaving the bay.

Several years later.

Outer Rim
Location - Distress Signal, Reach’s Redemption

“Captain Walker, UNSC Vessel Detected” a communication officer reported to Captain Walker as she looked to him from her Commander's seat.

“Is it the Signal we have been tracking?” She asked him as he nodded. “Alright, I want the Ship on Red alert in case of an ambush and alert the Spartans about our discovery” She ordered as several crewmen acknowledged as Walker looked out the main Bridge window to see the heavily battle damaged Marathon Class Cruiser named ‘Plague Doctor’ slowly drifting closer.

Chapter 1 - Just a Regular Drop (edited)

Above the unknown ring world which dozens of small capsule shaped escape pods rained down on was a the sight of several enormous vessels doing battle, a couple of odd shaped purple cruisers were raining blinding blue balls of plasma into a shorter dark grey ship. It’s hull of coated in ruined point defense guns, melting metal, giant holes and numerous amount of purple pods that fed an array of alien life onto the the cruiser which was dubbed the Pillar of Autumn. Surrounding the cruiser were dozens upon dozens of bodies which either had been sucked out of breaches or had been ejected from destroyed escape pods, wreckages of defending fighters known as longswords, troop carriers known as pelicans, alien fighters and transports and chunks of metal from the cruiser.. Within the halls of the Pillar of Autumn fared little better than the hull as whole decks were engulfed in fire, were collapsed or didn’t exist anymore.

The halls that were still intact however were not much better as the sight of mutilated corpses of both humans and aliens, used shell casing and dropped weapons. The walls, floors and windows were coated in blood, bullet holes and scorch marks. Closer to the belly of the cruiser, the human defenders continued their losing battle as they were dropping as fast as they lost ground. Hallways were welded shut behind the defenders, though it did little to halt the advance of the plasma wielding aliens. The remaining fighters were clad in black armour that covered them head to toe with a helmet that had a large visor covering the face.

“Ah shit, how many did we lose?” One of the black armoured humans asked as he reloaded his assault rifle.

“Half our squad Sergeant” Another black armoured human said as she finished welding the door.

“Shit, come on, we aren’t far from the ODST launch bay” The sergeant said as he looked to his remaining squad who had finished reloading.

“Sir, how the hell are we gonna hold them back long enough to launch?” Another soldier asked as he shook slightly.

“There are several blast doors between here and the launch bay, including one at the entrance Peters.” The female soldier explained as the remaining soldier helped her to her feet. “Thanks Tony” she said with a nod.

“No worry Julia” Tony replied as he turned to the sergeant.

“Let's get moving before we get left behind” he said causing the group of four to begin running down the hall, closing doors as they go and blasting the controls before continuing until they reached the final blast door

As they reached it and Julia began to open it, the door at the far end detonated in a eruption of molten metal, shrapnel, smoke and blue plasma. The sound of high pitched talking in an unknown language was heard a few moments before a five foot tall ugly orange creature with a small purple C shaped device in it’s hand waddled through confidently along with several others armed with either plasma pistols and needlers save for a red one armed with a bronze shoulder mounted rocket launcher. Though the group’s confidence vanished as a volley of bullets tore through the first three, killing two instantly as bullets ripped through their chests, showering the walls and floor with their luminous blue blood. The third one managed to avoid any direct damage but the tank on his back was ruptured, sending the casing through the air as methane gas sprayed out. The grunt seemed to be alarmed by this and freaked out before collapsing and making a choking noise before falling silent.

The sudden attack caused the group of grunts to be sent into a frenzy, scattering them. Some ran back out the doorway while some dove into the small side passages while the red grunt armed with the fuel rod cannon screamed out orders in its language while it hid in one of the side passages.

“It’s open!” Julia said as the door began to open only for the grunts to find their courage and retaliate, filling the hallway with plasma and bright pink needles while the humans fired back when a grunt popped out to attack.

Though their firing was inaccurate, there was enough to force the ODST into cover, save for Peters as a volley of needles slammed into his chest, making him freak out moments before they detonated in a burst of pink plasma and blood. Peters then collapsed to the ground in a heap on the ground as the blast door continued to open slowly.

“Fuck… Tony, Julia how many grenades do you have?” The sergeant asked as he pulled two grenades from his belt before he looked to the side passage opposite to his to see Tony and Julia.

“I have a few” Tony replied as he produced three.

“I’m out” Julia said.

“Alright, well on my go, lob them at these fucks before making a break behind the blast door!” The sergeant shouted as the blast door was halfway open. “Now!” He ordered moments before the squad tossed all their grenades down the hall. There was an alarmed cry from the aliens as the marines leapt through the opening, just as the grenades detonated, filling the hall with shrapnel.

Once through, Tony activated the console to seal the door before looking around only to freeze when he saw Julia laying face down with blood oozing from her back and shoulders from shrapnel and plasma fire. “Julia!” Tony said as he ran over and gently flipped her over to see her visor was all but shattered with dozens of small holes in it. “No” Tony said as he shook her gently, only for her to remain limp in his arms.

“Come now kid, we don’t have time for this” The sergeant said as he placed his hand on Tony’s shoulder. “I understand you both knew each other as kids, but we don’t have time to fuck around”. He said, gaining a nod from the man as he laid down the woman’s body before he fumbled around with the armour near her neck, causing the commanding officer to look at him confused before Tony produced a small golden locket from the corpse’s neck. “Really kid? This is no time to be robbing corpses”

“Sir, this is a locket i gave her before i was shipped off” Tony said as he opened the locket to show two teens, one was young asian woman with light blue dyed hair while the other was a young caucasian man with crimson hair.

“Oh, okay well let's go” The sergeant said as he pulled Tony to his feet.

“Yes… yes sir” Tony said as he tore his gaze away from his dead friend while he put the necklace in a pocket behind his chestplate. The pair then moved quickly to the ODST launch bay to find that the rest of the ODST’s had already launched.

“Fuck, Tony load up on everything you can fit in a pod, and take a jump pack also” The sergeant ordered as the pair began loading their pods with weapons and medical supplies.

As the men were loading up, the younger soldier was trying to lockdown a sniper rifle inside his pod, but the weapon refused to lock in place, leading to the man to start attempting the slam it in with an excessive amount of force. “Get… on!” Tony growled before he yelled and threw the rifle away before slammed his armoured fist into the hull of the pod. “Piece of shit”

“Tony” The sergeant called out moments before gunfire followed, causing Tony to glance at the inside of the pod to see his assault rifle was already locked in.

“Shit” He said as he drew his pistol and moved into the main room, only to see that it was empty and the blast door was still sealed. “Irish?” Tony called out as he moved around the room while scanning, only to have his foot come in contact with something solid. He glanced down quickly to see the front half of an assault rifle lying on the ground that had been cut cleanly, said cut was still glowing orange. “Shit” He said as he looked up just to see a blue energy sword come for him, though it fell short as the sound of a shotgun was heard. The blade deactivated as a spray of dark purple blood coated Tony while a large silver Elite materialised out of thin air and dropped to it’s knees while clutching the stump that was it’s right arm. Tony instinctively drew the eight inch knife from its sheath attached to his chest and plunged it deep into the fallen Elite’s neck before ripping it across it’s throat, coating the floor in a thick puddle of purple blood.

“Fucking cunt jumped me” Irish growled as he dropped his shotgun and collapsed to the ground as he clutched the sizzling wound across his chest. “He got me good too” he grumbled while Tony moved to and inspected the wound only to see that it had punctured deep and had ripped open some vital organs.

“Shit, let me get you some biofoam” Tony said as he went to get up and search but was stopped when Irish grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him back down to his level. “Sir?”

“Don’t… I’m no good in a fight anymore…” Irish started only to start coughing violently. “Get this piece of crap of my head” He ordered moments before Tony removed the fallen soldier’s helmet to reveal the bald head of the ODST. Irish had blood dripping from his lip and his green eyes were focused on Tony. “Ah… much better… not i need you to listen to me… i need you to get down there… don’t you dare stay behind with me” He growled at the younger man, who nodded. “Go on, get the fuck out of here” Irish said as he shoved Tony away before he grabbed his shotgun and started to load more shells into it. “Go on… get” Irish shouted as he aimed the weapon at Tony, causing the man to head back to his pod quickly. As the man sat down in the pod and sealed it, he watched Irish get to his feet and stumble over to a console before he began punching in codes. “Okay, this should launch all the pods so it makes it harder to kill you.” Irish said as he hit the launch key, causing the entire pod to jerk suddenly before it pulled back only for the blast doors to blast open. “Fuck… i’ll hold them as long as i can!” Irish said before he tossed several grenades as an elite, several jackals and a dozen grunts rushed inside. The Elite and a mix of the smaller aliens were blown apart by the grenade, causing the survivors to scatter and be slain by the shotgun fire of the ODST sergeant. As Tony pod turned and prepared to drop, the man heard Irish give a warcry, which was quickly cut off before he heard and felt plasma slamming into pod a few seconds before he launched into cold vacuum of space.

As Tony fell from the cruiser, his view was greeted with the sight of the cruiser speeding up and flying towards the ring world that it had been orbit above. As it did, the Covenant cruisers took chase, one of which ran through the swarm of drop pods, obliterating most, which crashed against it’s shields, though either by blind luck or some cruel hand. Tony and three other drop pods were left okay, resulting in one of the alien fighters taking pot shots at them. Tony attempted to use the inbuilt rotational thrusters to evade but to his dismay, he discovered that they were damaged from the plasma fire of the ground soldiers when he was launching.

The man’s luck quickly drained as the fighter destroyed nearby drop pod, causing chunks of the pod to go flying out. A large piece of the door managed to slam into Tony’s pod, cracking the window and putting the pod into a spin. “Shit!” Tony shouted as he gripped on tight while he spun, listening to loud alarms blaring and the sound of the remaining pods being destroyed. As the man tried his best to regain control of the machine, his vision began to blur from the g-force just as a bright rush of purple light filled his view, making him close his eyes and brace for his death, but instead of dying, he was surprised to find that his pod had stopped spinning out of control. Once he felt this, the man opened his eyes to see that he was descending into a snowy landscape, which alarmed him as where he was meant to land was in a different kind of desert. The man started the sequence to slow down as he noticed that he was coming down on a strange city with a spire like building in the middle of it.

(Crystal Empire, a few moments earlier)

"Now hand over the Crystal Heart" the dark unicorn known as Sombra demanded, he had broken through earlier then expected and now stood between Spike and Cadence and the Crystal Podium. "I promise I won't hurt either of you too badly, hay i might even make you both my loyal subjects" he said evilly as he began to laugh.

Spike whimpered as he looked up at the now slightly strengthen Pink Alicorn of love who was already coming down from her high from the Crystal heart in Spikes possession, 'please Celestia help us' he prayed in his head

"We will never surrender to you, you foul monster" Cadence heroically proclaimed only for her legs to buckle from exhaustion making Sombra laugh harder before he wiped a tear away with his hoof.

"My my my, out of juice?” Sombra said with a sadistic smirk as he slowly approached, only to stop when he heard a soft boom from above him. The stallion looked to the sky, only to shrink slightly at the sight of a burning metal object falling towards them. Spike and Cadence looked up and were just as shocked to see the object

'Thank you Celestia' Spike thought as the large object slammed into the ground nearby, creating a small tremor, causing the small dragon to fall over. ‘Oh no, it missed’ Spike despaired. The two ponies however had completely forgot about what they were doing and started to cautiously approach the object as they could hear a loud irritating beeping sound. Though they didn’t get too close before hissing was produced by the rock followed by a large chunk of it was launch off and slammed into Sombra.

He grumbled in pain as he got out from under the chunk of metal and looked at Cadence, only to see that she had her eyes locked on the meteor. He was about to ask what she was so concerned about until he heard a deep groan come from the stone. “Fuck me sideways” a deep masculine voice said, causing Sombra to look over and see a tall, black armoured creature stumble out of the rock, only to collapse to it’s knees. “Ahh… stop spinning” It is annoyed as it swayed slightly. After a few tense minutes, Sombra began to slowly approach the creature. The unicorn stopped as his hoof had hit something, that clinked loudly across the ground towards the creature. The item in question was the Crystal Heart, and the little mistake gained the attention of the creature, causing it to turn and look at Sombra, Cadence and Spike then at the Heart, which was about a metre away from it.

“Hmm, this is interesting” It said as it pulled itself to it’s feet. The two ponies saw that it stood taller than Princess Celestia, maybe even as tall as an adult Minotaur Bull. It’s black armour was splattered with a mix of purple, blue and red that seemed to run down like blood. The thought bringing disgust to the young Princess.

Sombra took the initiative and flared his horn, this of course drawing the attention of the creature, which proceeded to draw a metal item from it’s belt. It then pointed the item at Sombra before in the space of a few seconds, a deafen noise was heard just as the Stallion’s horn detonated into hundreds of splinters. The sight caused Spike to faint and for Cadence to start trembling while the dark unicorn fell onto his ass while in shock at what just happened. Only snapping out of it when the creature had walked over. It proceeded to kneel next to Sombra and lightly smack him on the nose as if he was a naughty pet. “Bad pony” It said before it moved away to inspect its surroundings. It only got so far until it tripped over the Crystal Heart, that had been strewn across the floor. “What the?” It asked before kneeling down and taking the ancient and powerful artifact in it’s alien hand while the two Ponies watched helplessly. “This thing is pulsating like crazy” It said with a hint of interest before in rose to it’s feet and looked around. “Though why is it just on the ground?” It asked before it noticed the frightened form of Cadance looking at him with shaking uncontrollably.

Without saying anything, the creature slowly walked over with it’s left arm out stretched to her. “Easy, i’m not gonna hurt you” It said, as the princess attempted to retreat but only achieved falling head over heels. “Not that wasn’t clever” it chuckled softly before it rested it’s hand on her side, while placing the heart on the ground. “See, not gonna hurt you” it said as it gently stroked her side while it’s now free hand moved to her head and scratched behind her ear, gaining a few coos of delight from the mare as she relaxed. “There we go, just rela… what the?” It said, snapping Cadance out of her daze. She looked back at it but could get a fix on what it was looking at until it’s hand moved from her ear, only to lightly grip her thigh. This action caused the mare to blush brightly while she started to fear the worse.

“No that is an interesting brand… no, brands don’t have this range of colour, but painting the fur would not work either” It said as it studied her Cutie mark, causing the mare to suddenly give a sigh of relief. “And it sort of looks like this heart…” It said before it was interrupted.

“That is because the heart is a…” Cadence started in a nervous tone but stopped when she watched the creature suddenly recoil.

“You can talk?” It asked confused.

“Well of course i can talk, it would pretty silly if i couldn’t talk… seeing i am a princess” Cadence said moments before the creature let go of her and rose to its feet before drawing it’s weapon. “What are you doing?!” Cadence said as she watched in fear as the creature aimed it’s weapon at her.

“Identify yourself Xeno” It ordered while pointing the end of the weapon at her head.

“I… i… my name is Mi Amore Cadenza…” She said in a frightened tone causing the creature to lower its weapon and cock it’s head.

“You name is Italian for I Love Cadence?” It asked confused as the mare shrugged.

“I don’t know but that is what my mother named me” She said shaking as the creature put it’s weapon away.

“Well i guess that answers my next couple questions” It said before it picked up the heart. “Anyway… sorry for that, kind of not had the best run with aliens… though i think i am the alien here” It said .

“Yo...you didn’t make a very good first impression… and you are quite scary” She said as she relaxed a bit.

“Yea… my bad, anyway” it started before pointing to the artifact in its hands. “What is this thing and why is it connected to your flank mark?” It asked asked her.

“T-that is the Crystal Heart and i can only theorize why it is connected to me, though we don’t have time for that as we need to put it back on it’s pedestal before he can destroy it” She said before looking to Sombra, who was still looking at the creature in shock. “He is a tyrant that is trying to enslave the people and also…” She tried to continue but the creature stopped her.

“Well if it is for the right reasons then i will, but so help me if you are lying to me” It said before it walked over to the pedestal, where it felt the crystal item in its hands yank free and fly into the identical item floating above the pedestal, shattering it. At first nothing happened, so the creature moved forward and poked it, only for a blinding flash of light to erupt from the item, blinding the creature and releasing the vast amounts of stored love out .

Once the light had faded, Cadence was filled with strength again. “You did it!” She said happily as she got to her hooves. She gave a few twirls while looking at her now crystal body but she stopped it her tracks when she saw that the creature had removed its helmet, which was currently being held in it’s offhand and had it’s main hand against it’s eyes. The creature had a short mane of crimson hair, small rounded ears, tanned flesh and a small cut on it’s lip. “Are you alright?” She asked concerned.

“Yea… just shouldn’t have been staring straight at it when the thing went off” It grumbled, it’s voice coming through clearly and enough for Cadence to suspect it was a male.

“Oh… i am sorry to hear that” She said as he removed his hand from his face a blinked a few times.

“Why are you sorry?” He asked as he looked to her, giving her a view of his mismatched eyes. “Anyway, as much as i would love to stay and chat” He started before walking over to the rock he came out of. “I have work to do” He said before sitting down in the chair that was within and started using the console.

“What happened?” Spike asked as he came too.

“Oh Spike, the creature saved The Crystal Empire” Cadence said to the dragon.

“Oh cool… wait what?” Spike asked confused just as the pair heard the creature swear loudly.

“Are you fucking kidding me? How the fuck did it miss something the size of a moon?” He roared before stepping out of the object and walking over to the stairs, where he looked at the sky, then at his pod. “Where is it… it should be big enough and close enough for me to see” He grumbled.

“What is wrong?” Cadence asked.

“I should have landed on a ring world but my nav computer is saying i am on a planet.” He said while searching the skies. “But i can’t even the ring above either” He added.

“Um, i hate to inform you but, from all the maps and books about the stars i have read, i have never heard of a giant ring in the sky.” Cadence said.

“Fuck… then the question is, if i am not on the ring or the planet behind it… where am i and how did i get here?” He asked as he crossed his arms.

Chapter 15 - Reunion, Nightmare And Molly.

Harvest
Location - Unknown
Status - Being Glassed
Marines' Objective - Reach Evacuation Zone.

"Marshall, Banshee 6 o'clock" cried the Gunner of the Warthog as he fired the Machine gun.

"Alright, let me know when it's firing it's Fuel Rod" the Field Marshall ordered as he drove through the ruins of a once glorious city, the Warthog had two marines in the passenger seat, the pilot was sitting snuggly against the gearbox with her chest bandaged heavily, next to her was a ODST who was sitting half the seat and the door as she fired her silenced SMG at Grunts and elites as they passed.

In the back was the corpsman, who was keeping an eye on the wounded Pilot. Adjacent him was the female Radioman who was reloading a rocket launcher and lastly a second ODST was on the Machine Gun, emptying 50 calibre rounds into the Sky behind them.

"Marshall, turn here, there is a tunnel with sentry guns" the Pilot said as she looked back down at her map.

"Alright" he said turning and entering the turret, the banshee that was avoiding the high calibre bullets, flew straight into a large sign and detonated. Collapsing the tunnel behind them. After driving a few hundred metres, the warthog parked in a garage which was closed before they all disembarked and went to their tasks. The Corpsman and one of the ODST's pulled the wounded Pilot out of the Warthog carefully, while the other ODST found a table for her to be laid on.

The radio woman went to see the major, who was checking their supplies before rationing them. "Marshall, I have got to say nice driving as always" the private said with a smile as the Fueld Marshall groaned.

"We lost the rest of our Warthogs and a Scorpion," he sighed as the private frowned before she removed her radio and went to work looking for a signal.

"Field Marshall Bell, what is your plan?" Asked one of the ODSTs.

"Well there is a small stealth ship capable of slipspace at a shipyard about three clicks away that is heavily classified" he said as the ODST nodded before removing her helmet and placed it down.

"Sounds like a plan sir" she said as she grabbed rations for the group and distributed them before going to her own corner.

"Louis I need you to find me Biofoam from my pack" the Corpsman ordered the Major who nodded as he went to the medic's rucksack and grabbed one of the three remaining Biofoam canisters. "Also the morphine injector" he said as Louis grabbed the injected along with a vial of morphine before returning them to the Marine.

"Is she going to make it?" The Marshall asked.

"If we get her to a hospital, other wise she is dead as soon as we run out of medical supplies" he said as he removed the marines bandages to show the burnt flesh. "I fucking hate these Xenos sir, Plasma Is horrible" the Medic growled as he gave her the injection before replacing the foam in her chest then wrapped her up with fresh bandages.

The group rested while the Marshall was on Overwatch, when the morning arrived, they loaded the wounded Pilot back in before mounting the vehicle and leaving the garage. As they made it out the other side, they were confronted by a large carrier that was over the city, within a blink of eye, a large beam of light came down and engulfed the city.

Armonia (Early Spring)
Location - Sanctuary

Tony was sitting with Amber and Lucy as they went through the lists of people that would join Tony's mission as the two couldn't, a lot had changed, Earth Harvest had grown thanks to some Centaurs and some Zebras, Sanctuary had become a full fledge city. The dock was on of the busiest spots, thanks to trading and fishing. Tony had built a military base just outside Sanctuary, in order not to take up space, he had also used the Pelican's radio to create a Radio room on UNSC frequency in order to assist any marines who get stranded in Equis, but so far it had only received looped distress calls, that lead to more burials of dead humans.

Tony sighed as he looked down, only for Si to burst in panting. "Si what are you doing here? Your suppose to be in the Comms room" Lucy said.

"I was.... Until I was ordered by someone..... On the radio to get my...... Commanding officer" he said between pants as Tony got up from his chair and was already out the door and on his to the Radio room with the other three.

Armonia (20 minutes earlier)
Location - 50 miles south of Sanctuary.

Louis groaned a he opened his eyes to find himself in the driver's seat of the warthog, he looked at his marines to fun them coming. "Status?!" He asked as he removed his helmet before pulling down his cowl and rubbing his head.

"I'm alive" the Male ODST gunner said.

"Got all my parts" said the Radioman.

"Still bleedin out sir" stated the pilot.

"Ask me in 20 minutes sir" replied the Female ODST.

"I'm not dead" the Corpsman stated before Louis nodded and started the Jeep.

"Private, check the radio" he order as she nodded before he began driving through the light forest.

"Mayday, Mayday, this is Private Emily Wilk, are there any UNSC forces out there, we have wounded" she said into the radio and immediately got a response.

"Roger Private, this is Ranger Si please standby for further notice" stated the radio which made the Marshall growl as grab the recieved.

"Listen you little piss filled shit, this is Field Marshall Louis Bell, I have a heavily wounded marine and if you don't put someone on your end of the radio who knows what they are fucking doing, I will find you, rip your eyes out and Skull fuck you..... Do I make myself clear?" He asked.

"Y-yes you do" Si said shakily.

"Yes what?!" He asked.

"Yes Sir, I'll get the Captain when he is out of his meeting." Si replied.

"Listen you little shit, I outrank captains so get the motherfucker and put him or her on the radio YESTERDAY!" Yelled Louis before the sound of someone dropping the receiver on the other end was heard as he returned the radio.

"Remind me never to get on you bad side Marshall" chuckled the Gunner before he noticed something. " CONTACT! ,Something is behind us coming at high speed" he yelled as he turned the turret to the back as the jeep burst free of the forest, only to be shortly followed by a large green two legged Dragon chasing them. "It's a fucking Dragon!"

"Kill it" yelled the radioman as the gunner opened up. The rounds tore into the charging beast, which soon collapsed to the ground, but the Jeep didn't let up as it sped over the grassy plains.

"Sir, over there" the pilot pointed to the side at a city in the distance.

"Thanks Sargent" Louis said before turning and heading towards the City.

"Hello is anyone out there?" Asked a voice on the radio.

"Yes this is Private Wilk, identify yourself, Over." She asked.

"Hello Private, I'm Captain Anthony Bell of Armonia, Over" the voice said as the crew looked at the Marshall.

"Hello Captain, can you give us Co-ordinance to where you are as we have wounded, Over" Wilk asked.

"Yes I can, actually on the Radar, it says your heading straight for us" he said. "How badly is your wounded? Over" he asked.

The corpsman took the radio. "Serious burns around her chest, multiple broken bones, severe internal Bleeding and a punctured lung, I have kept most of it under control but we will loose her when we run out of supplies, Over" he said.

"Roger, I'll have the Emergency ready for you, by the way who is this speaking?" He asked.

"Gunnery Sargent Luke Summers Over" he said as the gunner started firing again.

"Contact, several large horned dragons" he yelled.

"How many Petty Officer?" Louis asked.

"A dozen or so" he said as he fired at the stampede.

"Okay, Summers grab the Rocket launcher and Wilk, let our host know about our company" he ordered as the marines nodded.

"Mayday, mayday we are being chased by large monsters over" she said.

"Roger, air support inbound, over" the radio said, about 5 minutes later a Pelican flew overhead before he turned around and fired it's missile batteries at the group of monsters.

"Well shit" Summers said as they approached a bridge leading to the city, they passed it before entering the city, swerving and dodging civilians.

"Sir these aren't humans" the gunner said as he looked Around.

"I noticed Petty Officer" Louis said as he pulled the handbrake and made a sharp turn and sped off down a street towards a building with a big Red Cross.

"Hospital inbound" the female ODST said.

"I see it captain" he said before pulling the handbrake an drifting until they were just in front of the door, the captain, Radioman, Corpsman and Field Marshall all dismounted, The captain and the corpsman gently pulled the wounded Pilot out before setting her on her feet with her arm over the Corpsman's shoulders. The captain had her SMG with her as they went inside along with the Radioman with her shotgun. The Field Marshall looked at the crowd and raised his assault rifle, his face covered by his cowl and goggles. "Back Up!" He ordered as the Petty Officer turned the Machine gun to aim at the Aliens and set the barrel to spin.

"We mean no harm" a weird dragon man said as he approached only to have the back of his head grabbed and his face slammed into the bonnet of the jeep, knocking him out. This got the crowds to back up.

"Marines!" A voice said catching the two marines attention as they looked to see a ODST walking over.

"Hold position marine" the Field Marshall ordered which he did.

"My name is Anthony, I talked to your Private in the Radio" he said.

" you sent the pelican?" He asked which he nodded. "Okay but I don't trust you" he said lowering his rifle while the other ODST kept his turret on Anthony.

"Isn't he going to stand down?" He asked.

"Nope, Petty Officer Lorenzo only reports to me" he said.

"Okay may I know your name?" Tony asked.

"Sure" he said removing his helmet and cowl, revealing his grey and red hair and beard, his left eye was milky white with a scar running across it and his cheek, while his other eye was red, signifying that it was synthetic. "I am Field Marshall Louis Bell, Commander of Echo Base on Harvest" he said as Tony's jaw dropped. "What it looks like you have sen a ghost" he said before he saw Emily run out, pulled Luke's pack from the back of the Jeep and ran back inside. When he looked back he saw that the Captain was Saluting him. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"Saluting you sir" Tony said.

"Why?" Louis asked.

"Because I haven't see you since I was 6 Sir" he said as Lorenzo looked at his commanding Officer who was confused.

"What are you talking about son?" He asked.

"Your my father" Tony said catching Louis off guard.

"Bullshit, the Marshall's son is back on Luna and is only 9" Lorenzo said.

"Yes but Harvest fell roughly 15 years ago" Tony stated.

"What are you on about" Louis asked.

"I was posted on Reach, which fell just before I ended up here" he said before sighing. "Luna is gone and Earth is under siege" he stated.

"Fucking Covenant" Lorenzo growled.

"Let's head inside," Louis said, switching off the engine and taking the keys as Lorenzo removed the firing key for the machine gun and dismounted before the two grabbed their teams' gear and went inside the hospital with Tony. As they entered, they found the ODST captain surrounded by unconscious zebras, ponies and centaurs. "Captain?!"

"They attempted to detain me sir" she said which got Louis to give Tony a angry look.

"Hey, hospital protocol is no weapons, otherwise they won't operate" Tony said

"Luke is operating on Stacy now sir, he has Emily helping him" she said as a zebra was getting up only for him to receive the butt of the captains SMG to the back of his head.

"Okay Captain, go guard the operating room with Lorenzo" The Marshall ordered as the two nodded and left before the Marshall took a seat an relaxed. "Fuck I'm too old for this shit" he groaned as he placed his helmet next to himself.

"Aren't you like 47?" Tony asked.

"38" he growled "just thanks to a jackal tackling me, my back Is fucked" he groaned.

"Sorry so yea your my dad" Tony said.

"An how did you figure that kid?" Louis asked.

"Well you look like what he did an you have the same name and rank and also you came from Harvest" Tony said.

"Right, of your my kid the you should have a weird birthmark on your left Ankle" the Field Marshall said as Tony removed his boot and showed him. "Well damn, that's it, but I still don't fully believe you" he said as a group of guards entered the waiting room with guns pointed at the Field Marshall before Tony ordered them to stand down.

"Remember, humans are Xenophobic" Tony said as they nodded before a tall green mare in a pink dress walked in. "Oh hello Princess" Tony bowed as Louis chuckled causing all eyes to fall on him.

"What is funny?" She asked.

"Nothing " he said before he got up from his seat, pulled his helmet on and lifted his cowl, he stood taller and more muscular then Tony as he stepped passed the group and headed to find his marines.

"Who was that?" Sweet asked.

"My Dad" Tony said.

"Damn.... Just damn" said one of the female guards.

"He knocked out a dragon like nothing" said another guard.

"Yea, anyway what is up Sweet?" Tony asked.

"Oh well Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are coming, they will be here in an hour." She said as Tony groaned.

"Okay I'll handle it, I'm bring our guests some food and water... Along with some conscious surgeons" Tony ordered as the group of guards nodded.

(Two hours later)

Luke walked out of the operating room, his hands were covered in blood as he washed them, the two surgeons who came to help him fainted from the sight of the marine or tried to put her out of her misery, which resulted them being shot in the leg. "Corpsman, how is she?" Asked Louis.

"Stable finally, she'll be awake in a few hours hopefully" he said washing his hands before he looked at the shaken Emily who had never seen so much gore up close. "But I think Emily may need some TLC sir" he said as the Marshall nodded before he went and led the shaken rookie out. As Luke wheeled Stacy out, he was confronted by a midnight Alicorn who was curious about the sleeping marine but as she was about to speak, she found a shotgun pressed against the side of her head by Lorenzo.

"How the fuck did you get passed me?" He growled as the Alicorn gulped.

"We mean thou no harm, we are simply curious on why she is asleep" she said which Luke cocked his eyebrow at her way of speaking.

"She has just come out of Surgery, now get the fuck out before I throw you out" growled Lorenzo as the Alicorn glared at him before stepping forward and placing her horn against the unconscious soldier, before either marine could react, the pilot was surrounded in magic causing her to groan before she was laid back down.

"What's did you do?" Asked Luke.

"We have healed her" she said before she walked off.

As Luna left the hospital she smiled. 'Now with a little more work, I can use them to over throw the Elements and Molestia and I shall finally rule' she thought before she bumped into Chrys, who was at a stall.

Chrys looked at her with a frown before it changed to a smile. "It's been a while Moon" she said causing Luna to freeze.

"How?" She asked quietly.

"I'm the queen of disguises" she said as they began walking back to Tony's home, "my question is, how did you escape." She asked.

"Luna released me thinking that I was simply a shade, but thanks to some energy I leached off Tony on Hearth's warming...." She was saying before Chrs interrupted.

"Was that before, during or after Luna had him down her throat?" Chrys asked Slyly.

"During" Luna blushed, "anyway, Molestia and I were able to create bodies for ourselves and we imprisoned the royal sisters." Luna stated.

"Okay so another question, what Is your intention with Tony?" Chrys asked in a serious tone, that even made the nightmare queen flinch.

"Well we both intend to make him our king, but we won't do anything to disrupt this land as one you are my friend and also, I don't want to face the wrath of him" she said "the thought would give me nightmares" she sighed as Chrys scratched her behind the ears.

"Hmmm fair enough, thought about becoming an Anthro?" Chrys asked.

"Why?" The Alicorn asked.

"One you get large, generous features" she said groping herself.

"They are large" Luna added.

"Yes, two you can use weapons and fighting styles that Quadrupedal ponies can't" she said as she opened the door and let Moon inside as they found Celestia licking Tony's face, who didn't have an amused look on his face.

"Molly I swear I'll bite you again" he growled as she giggled and nipped his ear, a large bite mark was visible on her neck where it connected to her shoulder.

"But I'm grooming you." She stated.

"Wait how do you know that she is Molestia?" Asked the midnight Alicorn.

"Oh hey Moon, um because she has pink hair and greyish white fur" he said as Moon looked at the perfectly disguised Molestia.

"How?" She asked confused as she dropped her disguise.

"Probably that Changeling Magic in him gives him some passive abilities" Chrys said as she sat next to Tony and groomed his other side.

"Fucking really?!" He asked.

"I have a proposition for you dearest" Moon said as she walked towards the human.

"Yes?" He asked.

"Molly and myself wish to take over Equestria and have you as out king" she said.

"Right so you wish to do that because why?" He asked.

"Because Celestia and Luna took that right away from us" Molly said.

"Right um if you want, I can work out a deal with Sweet so you two can have a section of the No-Man's land, seeing Armonia is 3 times bigger then Equestria" he said catching both their attentions.

"So you'd willingly give that to us for free?" Moon asked.

"Well as long as you set up trade and also visit me" he said.

"Well of course we would visit our stallion" Molly said nuzzling him.

"Hmmm we accept..... And Molly, we should probably bring Luna back from the sun and Celestia back from the moon" Moon said as Molly nodded before both their horns glowed as Tony got up and headed for the kitchen when suddenly Luna materialised above him and landed on him, while Celestia landed on Chrys's lap.

"What the buck happened?" Asked Tia as she looked around and found a duplicate of herself next to her.

"Hello Tia, sorry about sending you to the moon" She said as Celestia growled and charged her horn before Chrys slapped her with a pillow, breaking her concentration. "Before you blast us. We no longer want Equestria"

"Thou don't?" Asked a confused Luna. Who was oblivious to the human under her. "What changed?"

"Well the stallion your sitting on promised us our own land from his land." Moon said as Luna looked to see her flank on Tony's face causing her to go bright pink and get off him.

"We are sorry" she said as she tapped the unconscious human.

"Well buck" Chrys sighed, "that's the third time this week one of his herd has smothered him" she said before teleporting the group.
