It’s not gonna work.

Yes it is, the science is sound.

I meant your whole ‘trying to convince Celly it’s a good idea’ thought process.

I sigh, looking down at the crystals I’m placing into the device. Alucard, I have to do this, despite the repercussions, minions and towers alone cannot hold against warbeasts and ancient war-machines, and so long as the Caribou can use these crystals to cripple the ponies, they’re unable to help us.

Aren’t you still wanting Displaced help?

And what if I can’t find any?! This needs to be done, if not for me then to ensure that Equestria no longer has to fear dark magic transforming them.

Wait… you mean?

Yes… once this is done, the change will be irreversible, and give them an immunity to such spells, of course they can still change themselves like with the breezies, and chaos magic doesn’t play by the rules, but essentially, the new pony form will be anthro.

And you’re not doing this so Starlight and Celestia are no longer alienated?

Now what do you mean by that?

Come on… you know you like-

Alucard I am not making a harem nor am I going to fuck my own adoptive daughter, fuck off!

Oh you’re no fun…

I look upon my creation, with a twin mix of pride and terror, a sensation of satisfaction with the fear of what I could become if I lost myself.

“Is this what it felt like for Einstein when he discovered that equation? Only for others to make atomic ordinance?”

“Who?-”

“OH SHIT!!” I jumped, almost dropping the device. “Oh it’s just you Starlight… to answer your question, Albert Einstein was one of the greatests in human history, he discovered that a massive amount of energy could be released from the smallest piece of matter, he presented this discovery as E=mc2, which means Energy equals Mass multiplied by the speed of light squared.”

“That sounds like a revolutionary idea… but how does Ordinance fit in there?”

“Because many brutish military leaders saw only it’s potential, not long Atomic bombs were created using this concept, as the name suggests, it used atoms in its payload.”

She seemed to laugh at that. “I know what an atom is, those tiny little-”

“One of those bombs was powerful to level an entire city.” that shut her up.

“Couldn’t they rebuild?”

“Nope, it’s not enough it levels everything, the entire land becomes victim to radioactive fallout, it doesn’t just destroy, it makes what’s left completely uninhabitable?”

“Oh Faust, why would they make something like that?!”

“Stupidity, but as of now it’s astronomically rare for them to be used outside of tests.”

“Then why keep them?”

“Bigger sticks.”

“... I’m sorry?”

“Old human concept, ‘if you want to avoid a fight, have the bigger stick, the bigger gun, the bigger tank.’ nations can’t get along nicely so in order to make sure no-one tries anything we keep the big scary bombs so that no-one else uses theirs.”

“Oh… that sounds terrible.”

“Well, it’s been in that stalemate since forever, and humanity will be stuck like that for a lot longer. It’s what they do, but they’re getting better, slowly but surely they’re getting better.”

“Okay… well, I’m going to bed, goodnight dad.”

“Goodnight Starlight.” I smile and give her a hug before putting my creation away.

I look to the town and let out a heavy sigh, holding what I created, hidden in a cloth.

And so I walked into town and stopped when I heard a gasp, and turned.

I saw the entire mane six looking at me in shock, tears in their eyes.

Holy shit even Applejack’s crying! AND APPLEJACK CRIES ON THE INSIDE!

“O-Orgran?” Twilight said shakily, like she couldn’t believe what she’s seeing.

“Oh… crap, I knew I was forgetting something… so, I should say, yeah, I did die… but I got a lifeline and now I’m not… oh Dranlun, I’m sorry girls, I’ve just been busy with things and-WOAH!!” *thud*

I shook my head clear as I recovered from the group glomp that I was now in the centre of.

“We don’t care! You’re alive!” Rainbow sobbed.

“I was so saaaaaad!!” Pinkie whined.

“We missed you so much! I… I thought it was my fault you died, if I had stopped her sooner…” Twilight couldn’t say more through tears… and then I noticed we were drawing a crowd.

Naturally I responded like I normally would.

“Fuck off! You never seen a touching moment before?!”

The six mares blinked, before bursting into laughter.

“Yer Orgran alright!” AJ hollered before they got off me. “We… we really missed ya Orgran.”

“I missed you too, though I doubt things will ever be normal.”

“Why’s that, darling?” Rarity asked.

“I… I have some very bad news…”

By the time we got to the library, the six had become practically catatonic in expression from how I explained the situation.

In fact when we got there Rarity ran to the bathroom to hurl.

“So you’re telling us these Caribou are waging war on us… to turn all the mares into sex slaves?” Rainbow asked, still unable to believe the story.

“Yes, and like I said before, I already took out a group who had made claim to a village, if I hadn’t that scouting party could’ve struck much deeper into Equestria, thrusting their main force through the opening into the land’s tender nether-HOLY SHIT THAT SOUNDS SO BAD!! IGNORE THAT! JUST FUCKING UNHEAR IT!” they all nodded.

“But… why?” Twilight asked.

“Their self-proclaimed king, Dainn, had a goal, while not harmless, it wouldn’t have been to this extreme.He believed the age of Matriarchy is flawed and that a Patriarchy should be instated for the Caribou people, erupting into a war of genders, once this civil war ended both sides still had plenty of each with them so as to not die off, though the does only had the more peaceful bucks that rejected Dainn while Dainn’s forces had any does they managed to foalnap before fleeing to an island far from the main continent.

I don’t know much about it save for what my informant knows of it, but on that island Dainn… talked with something, something evil that sought only conquest, devoted worshippers from those that submitted, and destruction to those who didn’t, it… twisted them into something different from what Caribou originally were. They used this corruptive magic to overwhelm their old homeland and overthrow the current Matriarch, who is now kept as Dainn’s personal pet.”

“Oh no…” Fluttershy whimpered, but I raised a hand before she could cry.

“I have it on good authority that while she does suffer such a fate, her soul has been blessed by Harmony herself, no matter how much he tries, she will not break, and as such has remained a hope for her people.” I resisted the urge to ‘dawww’ when Flutters did her cute ‘yay’. “What’s more, I managed to discover that while the Caribou were changed, the magic cannot affect the mind, I already have one of their great knights joining us in the fight.”

“How are you so sure you can trust him?”

“One, I gave him a nut-check with a boulder.” they winced. “Said I’d do worse to him if he didn’t go into the world and learn that Dainn’s way was wrong.” they tensed up. “But the most notable act is one you can confirm.”

“Huh?” the six said simultaneously.

“Okay… has there been any reports of a naked, humanoid pegasus being treated for bad wings?” they all nodded. “She was one of Dainn’s captives until said knight tricked them and smuggled her out.” they went wide-eyed at that.

“So… he helped her get free?”

“On the request of his own mother.” they smiled at that, knowing with that kind of evidence it was clear this one wasn’t bad.

“So… what’s that thing you’re hiding?” Rainbow gestured to my covered machine.

“Something special… for an announcement.”

“I’ll get it set up.” Twilight said before heading off, then the others followed to help out.

When they were gone, strangely enough, I saw a letter from the void.

“...oh cool it’s from Thrin.” I began to open it. “Wonder what he thought of…” I blink, and almost fall over laughing at an adorable little Lolilestia in a Cirno outfit!

But then it gave me an idea. These things can be reprogrammed just like that? I wonder… I cracked my knuckles and begun work on some extra adjustments… to the crystals themselves and not the machine.

Now I felt more pride, with this new change, I wouldn’t ruin Equestria with this brash plan… I would save it.

{POV CHANGE: TWILIGHT}

“ATTENTION FILLIES AND GENTLECOLTS!” the gathered crowd turned to Orgran, who stood on the stage. “I have an announcement to make, it’s not a happy one, but a necessary one, so as to ensure no-one misses out, including the ones whom this is about, I will use my connection to the earth itself to transmit the message world wide!”

Wait what?

{POV CHANGE: CHRYSALIS}

“I know we are reeling from the rather… aggressive act brought on by Queen Chrysalis, but now is not the time to turn the changelings away, instead we must welcome them!”

“Well I’ll be damned…” I muttered as I watched the announcement. “He’s keeping his word after all, maybe I should’ve been more-”

“For you see we all face an enemy, no, a terror, that seeks to ruin us all!”

“Wait what?”

{POV CHANGE: TIREK}

“What does this creature spout on about?” I asked angrily.

“This menace does not just seek to claim castles or magic, no, what this enemy seeks is far more horrifying than Tirek’s desire for our magic or Nightmare Moon’s wish to make eternal night!”

I scoff.

“They seek to violate our women!”

The gasps of the ponies heard through the screen was nothing compared to the thousand yard stare I had, now intent on hearing what was being told.

Many don’t realize, but me and Scorpan were not the only siblings…

We had little sisters…

{POV CHANGE: CELESTIA}

At first I was overjoyed to know Orgran was okay.

But now I was mortified by what I was hearing.

“And much worse! These self-centred beasts wish to assert male dominance and force the entirety of females to become sex slaves, made to be willing toys to their male slavers!”

{POV CHANGE: GILDA}

“Now I know many of you cold hearted bastards would love to see that, well then let me clarify something, they do not care for race! Disabilities! Personalities! Families!”

The pause made me anxious.

“...or Age!”

And now I’ve lost my lunch, great.

{POV CHANGE: DRAGON LORD TORCH}

“So while you snivelling bastards assume to think this would be a benefit? Think for a moment, how would you feel about raping your best friend? Or sister? What about even your daughter? Because they will not encourage this behaviour, they will expect you to!”

“UNTHINKABLE!” I roared in outrage. “I WOULD NOT DARE HARM EMBER IN SUCH A WAY!”

“And they won’t stop there, if you’re too much of a coward to commit to their cause, they will mentally corrupt you into doing it anyway. Or they’ll kill you and rape those women themselves!”

I roar further, my anger igniting the sky.

{POV CHANGE: GENERAL RAGE HORN}

“And they are not alone, they have become the avatars of an unknown demon which has given them these dark powers! To turn us and ruin us!”

“SICK MONSTERS! LIEUTENANT!”

“YES SIR!”

“INCREASE TRAINING! We’re not letting these monsters have an inch.”

“YES SIR!”

{POV CHANGE: DAINN}

I watch with narrowed eyes as the ‘Dwarf’ continued to talk.

“We have a name to put behind this evil force! Dainn and his Caribou! They are the ones who seek to destroy all we know! To lay claim to all we care for!”

{POV CHANGE: CHIEF THUNDERHOOVES}

“AND SO ON THIS DAY I SAY WE ALL BAND TOGETHER! Yes! Even the Denizens of Tartarus! To fight Dainn until he is buried in the ground! Not until we are tired! Not until the last man! NOT UNTIL WE CANNOT FIGHT NO MORE! I WILL FUCKING BEAT HIM TO DEATH WITH MY OWN GHOST IF I HAVE TO! THAT BASTARD! SHALL NOT! WIN!”

Cheers erupted from the crowd gathered at the display, one which I joined in with great fervour.

{POV CHANGE: TWILIGHT}

“But first, I have had to make… a radical decision.” he pulls the cloth away, revealing dark magic crystals connected to a strange device.

“These gemstones carry a sliver of the Caribou’s dark magic, designed and used to turn any equestrian race anthropomorphic, meaning a bipedal humanoid shape, like how you have seen Celestia, who had come into contact with the crystals I was researching that I had regretfully left unattended.”

This caused murmurs in the crowd.

“She has forgiven me and we have moved on from it now that she is accustomed, that’s not the point, the point is when one of these was used in a far off village, the ponies were utterly defenseless.” the group gasped. “They could not adjust to the new forms quick enough before the Caribou had already established a foothold, and they will do this across the entire world!” more worry came to them.

“That is why I have come up with a solution! These crystals before me have been reprogrammed, while I cannot remove its initial purpose, I have made it so the transformation comes with an educational rush to allow an instant transition, and made it so once the transformation is finished, these crystals will not work again, however the form you take will now be your true form, not even shapeshifting to your old form using spells will work.”

“And you expect to just pass these out to the world and hope they’re okay with it?!” one of the ponies asked.

“What? No! No no… that’s what the bomb these things are hooked up to is for.” he pulled out a detonator.

“BOMB?!” me and the crowd shrieked, and before anyone could move to stop him.
