Chapter 0 History

One day 25 years ago Princess Celestia was working on a new spell to teach twilight, the spell was a summoning spell she never heard about. She was thinking that since twilight has been such a faithful student that she deserves to learn a more advanced spell. She chanted the spell "Shontan~hig~orshi~no~Humanic." Nothing happened she shrugged and moved to a spell she knew. A week goes by when she gets a report that a massive unknown species popped up about a week ago in the eastern side of equestria. Celestia flys on down to find a civilization filled with dressed up creatures walking on two feet and have a remarkable resemblance towards that of an ape. She flys down and lands in the square where she is greeted with shocked and confused faces. The Princess looks around and is greeted by a weird man with a pole with a hoop around it she asks the man "Hello and who might you be?"

The man looks startled "Did you just talk." The man runs over to a bigger gentleman and whispers into his ear.

The other gentleman walks up and gives his name "Hello my name is Mr.Kravisty and I am the mayor of this fine city."

Celestia responds "its nice to meet you Mr.Kravisty my name is princess Celestia ruler of this land."

The mayor bowed and asked "Well your majesty where are we and how did we get here? The last thing I remember was that I was at work getting yelled at by my boss over the phone, the next thing I noticed this tunnel of wind and light surrounded the city and by the time it disappeared we were here."

The mare looked around and asked "before I answer that what is your species called?" The mayor replied "Humans"

The princess stands there in a daze thinking "where have I heard that from Hu~Huma~HUMANIC!!" The princess bows her head and sighs "it seems a spell I used a week ago brought you here and sadly to say there is no way i can reverse it."

The mayor sits there stumped and after a while of silence he says "well there's nothing we can do now I guess this our new home." He then approaches a table with a microphone on it and announces "People of Lilth I speak to you so I may answer your questions we have been teleported to a different world a world where other species such as Ms.Celestia are of a higher knowledge we must co-exist and form a new home for ourselves. Ms.Celestia would you like to come up and say anything?"

Celestia steps up to the mic and the mayor nods "Citizens of Lilth my name is Princess Celestia princess of the country Equestria. Its come to my knowledge if you are to live here you'll need your own province so I grant you the eastern coast of equestria." The crowd cheers and scuffles off doing what they know best....production. Celestia heads back to Canterlot and addressed her people of the new species and there location.

Seventeen years pass and the humans have doubled their population from a mere 85,000 to a whopping 170,000. The ponies and humans have been allies for seventeen long years. Two years ago the mayor Mr.Kravisty died of a heart attack during his sixty third birthday. Two months passed and a newly elected Mayor was named. The royal kingdom was told the new mayor of lilth was elected and that his name was John swadbolt. Celestia was a little curious of why she wasn't told of Mr.Kravisty's death and sent some loyal human spies to investigate they never returned.

A year passed and Celestia was doing paper work for her kingdom when a shout comes from down the hall "Wait someone stop her Shes heading for the princess!" A weak beaten up woman burst through the door the guards grab her and hold her down. The guards apologize to the princess.

Celestia walks over to and says "Miss please raise your head." The woman's head tilts up and the princess gasps its one of the spies that disappeared two years ago. The princess ordered the guards to release her and get her to the infirmary. The next day the spy enters Celestia's studies celestia hugs the woman and asked her to tell her everything.

The woman spoke and said "The humans they have been kidnapping ponies of all ages tested them seeing what makes them tick seeing what kills and doesn't kill them and how they can fly or use magic they've been testing on us since the new mayor was elected. Celestia prepares to leave when she is intercepted by a guard with a package from lord Swadbolt. Celestia looks at the name "lord?" She open the package to find a DVD inside. She pops the disk in and the video goes on. A weird low voice starts speaking. "Well princess Celestia, did you know once us humans were a dominate race.... and we feel like we still are we never needed the help of you ponies and we see you as a inferior race we have someone here with us." The lights come on and in the middle of the room was a black mare with a blue maneverse it didn't take Celestia long to notice it was her little sister Luna. The voice talks again "now Luna here has volunteered to be our lab rat for a new weapon. The little mare starts struggling trying to break free with her magic but realizes something is wrong. A man walks up with a big weapon in the shape of a pipe the voice kicks back up this hear is a regular shotgun filled with experimental cartridges. The bullet will pierce through her skin and explode on impact.

Celestia growls "You bastard!" The man aims the gun and fires the bullet exploding the mare into a bunch of bloody chunks. Celestia Looks away in sadness moaning for her dear sister she looks back to see the man pick up the mares entrails and other assorted organs and throw them in a shredder.

The voice talks "your next celestia." Celestia declares war on the humans and her and about 300 of the Pegasi air force ponies take off "Lets bomb those ungrateful apes." As the army flys towards Lilth they notice a large group of weird flying machines coming towards them next thing they seen is a small thin moving cloud flying towards them and it makes contact with a few of the ponies blowing them up in a huge explosion. The ponies scatter and start attacking the machines ripping them apart and pulling out the drivers twenty minutes pass and the aircraft start to flee, as the pegasi start to feel joyed about their winnings, but many died during that battle. Thinking they have won the worst, they rush towards the city when explosions start popping up around them an army of sixty man AA batterys were firing into the sky. The ponies were dropping like flies in a couple of seconds a good 103 ponies were shot out of the sky. The ponies fled and the battle raged on for many more years.

Chapter 1 A mercs work is hard

Twenty five years passed since the presence of humans came to the land of equestria since then the human civilizations has expanded to where they control the east coast provinces and some of the north provinces. The ponies have advanced in technology by examining human weaponry thanks to this they have been able to upgrade their armies to the point where they can hold their own. Though they now have advanced weaponry for their troops towns and villages get little to no protection. The war between the two was beginning to lead into a long and decisive war that may well go on for decades more, Something must change.

(We join a mercenary by the name of Kris who is currently under fire in the everfree forest.)

*Gunfire* "Jesus Christ what the hell!?"

A bandit calls out "come on out buddy we just want your crap, we promise we wont hurt you"

Kris replies vulgariously "Go to hell" and tosses a grenade at the bandits. Then Kris attempts to escape. Another bandit notices the explosive "GRENADE!!" the bandits scatter but one, the bandit then shoots off his rifle and hits Kris in the lower leg. Kris cries out in pain as he rolls down a hill and out of the forest, as Kris's vision starts getting blurry he notices a figure walk towards him.

A quite voice talks "are you okay mister?" Before Kris could respond he fainted from the whiplash of falling down the hill.

Kris wakes up to the smell of tea and the feeling of fur on his legs "argh where am I?" A whimper comes from the fur on his legs, as his vision comes back theres an old labrador retriever staring him in the eyes. Kris extends his hand and presents it to the canine. The dog smelled kris's hand and knulssled his palm "hello there big boy. Do you know where I am?" The dog then jumps down and runs into another room as kris tries to stand he notices his wound had been patched up, kris then limps over to the other room where he sees a yellow pegasus pony with a pink mane making tea. Kris speaks up "um....hi there."

The yellow pegasus backs up and cowards in a corner she quitely talks "please dont hurt me I wont tell anypony about you just dont kill me."

Kris sits there across from the scared pony and responds "kill you why would I kill the person who rescued me, my names Kris and yours is?"

The shy pegasus whispers "fluttershy"

kris smiles "well then fluttershy where am I and how did I get here?"

The pony emerged from the corner and said "this is my home I found you wounded right outside the everfree forest."

Kris then asks "so are you the one who treated my wound?"

Fluttershy shook "no it wasnt me it was my pet rabbit angel."

Kris sits there confused "a rabbit fixed my leg?"

fluttershy then nodded "yep he is trained in medical work he got lessons from nurse Redheart."

Kris shrugs his shoulders and then sighs "well then I..." his stomach then growls real loud.

The pony notices the growl "are you hungry when the last time you ate?"

Kris mummbled "Um..yesterday morning I believe."

The curious mare stepped back and said "my well I'm heading out to the market would you care to join?"

Kris stands up "YES!" but then collaspses "ow but first if I could get a krutch that would be nice." Fluttershy giggled and brought kris a krutch "alright you ready"

Fluttershy shook "yeah lets go." The two headed down into the market where they were greeted by sneers and gloomy faces."I wonder whats wrong with every pony" asked fluttershy.

Kris replied "its cause I'm here just like how you coward in the kitchen that fear that anger is the same as I'm receiving right now."

Fluttershy answered "but your not a bad man."

Kris smiled "I appreciate that Fluttershy but these ponies are gonna need proof that I'm not bad." Kris then asked "do you mind if I go explore the market I need to see if they got what I'm looking for."

The mare tilts her head and says "okay but don't get in trouble kay?"

Kris bowed "Yes of course miss." Kris walked off looking for a blacksmith he came across a booth with a stallion selling various amounts of swords and other battle equipment. One of these weapons catches Kris's eye "I'll take that sword, sir." The man lays a 2ft long wakashi katana made of Damascus steel.

The man responded "that'll be 1'800 bits and we'll throw in a strap for you to hold onto your back."

Kris shakes the mans hoof "you have yourself a deal good man." Kris regroups with Fluttershy by the entrance he asked "were you able to get everything?" Fluttershy nods. Kris takes a step and loses his balance falling on Fluttershy "I'm so sorry Fluttershy you okay?"

"yes I'm okay you" Before Kris can say a word a hoof connects to his face launching him into a vacant booth.

Kris emerges from the rubble "ahh shit what the fuck was that!?" He looks up to find a light blue pegasus with a rainbow mane staring at him.

The pony screams at Kris with a intimidating voice "stay away from Fluttershy you filthy little ape or ill rip off your arms!" Fluttershy stops the blue pony and demands her to stop. "Fluttershy why was this human with you what was he after your money, your virginity, or was he after your life."

The yellow pony got up and bucked her friend "that's my friend Kris he just fell on me cause of his wounded leg."

Kris barely conscious "Fluttershy..i-is this your friend?"

The mare sighed "sadly yes, her name is rainbow dash, she was just trying to protect me."

Kris replied "well if shes not going to say sorry maybe she can carry me back to your house." Fluttershy stared into the rainbow pony's eyes.

"Fine ill take him back"

Kris arguably responds "im sill waiting for an apology."

Rainbow Dash sighs and says "im sorry for hurting you I was just protecting her from harm."

Kris smiles "thats okay, you dont need to carry me I got it." The group heads for fluttershys house where kris sees a group of mares gathered by the house they stand there confused as they see a human walking around their town with two of their friends with him.

A purple unicorn approaches and asks "who are you?"

Kris answers "my name is Kris and I'm a mer~" before kris could finish a explosion along with gunfire goes off in the town Kris stunned "What was that!?"

A white pony speaks up "they're back"

"Whose back?" asked Kris.

"Bandits, they have been coming here plundering our shops stealing our fabrics and bits." The purple maned mare said as she stared at the smoke coming from the market. Rainbow dash then opened up the door to the house to where she told everone to get inside before someone does something stupid. Everyone nods and walks in.

"So now that everyponys here you want to tell us why a human is here." asked a orange pony with a cowgirl hat but nothing else. Fluttershy explains all the turn of events leading from finding Kris knocked out and wounded next to the everfree forest to the point where rainbow bucked his face in.

"So is he nice or is he like all the other scumbag humans" said the purple unicorn.

The orange pony look shocked and said "Twilight how could you say that, that's discrimination."

Kris stopped the orange pony "she's right we humans are scumbags, but most of us are very kind and harmless, unlike those bandits out there."

Twilight turned and said "well this town has had enough problems with humans, begone by tomorrow or ill report you to the royal guard."

Kris chuckled "the royal guard hahahaha the royal guard won't do nothing!"

Twilight's face got red "what are you laughing at, the royal guard will throw you in prison for trespassing."

Kris grabbed the mares horn pulled her face in and stated "if the royal guard cared about this town then why haven't I've seen a single guard around, and also why would there be a group of bandits wreaking havoc across your lands, CAUSE THE ROYAL GUARD COULD CARE LESS!!!.......I see I'm no longer wanted ill be leaving"

Fluttershy then grabbed Kris's hand "please don't leave she'll say sorry."

Kris kneed down to the pony grabbed her hoof. "Don't worry I'll be back and everything will be much better." So Kris left ponyville slipping pass the bandits and making his way through the everfree forest.

A week passes and Fluttershy is at the market with her friends Fluttershy sighs and the orange pony says "hey honey whats bothering you?"

"its Kris its been a week and he hasn't been seen or heard of since he left, what if the bandits got him they could be torturing him or worse."

Twilight turned to the sad little pony "where ever he is I hope no "pony" is getting hurt."

A man then bashes the bud of his shotgun down upon Twilight's head knocking her out. "Well would you guys look at that looks like I've caught us dinner tonight." A loud laughter comes from behind the booths as a group of large humans appear and start beating up on the poor knocked out mare. The ponies soon rush over to help their friend, but stops when one of the bandits shoots off his gun."Now you little cunts stay still" the man then points his gun at the pink pony's head "we'll show you what happens to little horses when they act tough." His finger touches the trigger and the ponies stand their helpless."die!"

The bandit aimed the gun and in the blink of an eye a hooded man slices off the bandit's hand. Shortly after jeeps and buses carrying armed humans and ponies jump out and started a firefight with the bandits. The hooded man grabs the unconscious mare "come on guys follow me!" The ponies trot away behind one of the buses where they lie their friend down. "I must go to my men, you guys stay hidden. MEDIC!!" A armored mare ran over." Now listen this pony was whacked hard in the head with a shotgun then beaten up when down, check for head trauma, and internal bleeding. I want you to get jack and rick to protect this five can you do that?" The man then ran into battle howling orders and giving a moral speech "alright men leave no bandit alive, these bandits are things that give us mercenaries a bad rep lets show them what we can do and free this town from their brutal ways!" The men all cheered and pushed the bandits into the open where all of them were killed in a circle of bullets. The men all stand up with a smile on their faces relieved the battle was over. The hooded man then says "men great job a successful takedown with no injuries, but our work isn't over lets rebuild the damages."

Ponies start coming out their houses to find a bunch of humans and ponies packing up their weapons and grabbing tools to fix the booths and buildings that were damaged in the battle. The masked man then walked over to the five mares who were gathered around their friend.

The purple maned pony runs up to the man and bows "thank you very much sir my names Rarity might I ask the name of our hero?"

The man laughed "calm down rarity I'm no hero I'm just a mercenary paying back his debts" the mare sits their confused as the man slips off his hood.

Fluttershy's mouth widens "KRIS!" And tackles kris to the ground "I thought you were never gonna come back."

"Well I had to repay my debt to you, you saved my life now I saved yours. We even now?"

The yellow pegasus smiled and hugged the man "yes, yes we are."

"Fantastic, just amazing" a pony of an elder age walks over "thank you kind sir you saved my village from those awful bandits, as the mayor I would like to give you something, but since the raids I have nothing for your trouble."

Kris smiled "well I have an idea how about you can repay us. Let us set up our HQ here. Not only would you have able men helping out your village we are willing to provide you some protection against any threats."

The mayor thinks it over for a minute "we do need some protection and there has been a lot of damage since the raids. Okay you got yourself a deal you provide us with protection and we'll provide you with an HQ and a reasonable pay check."

The men all cheer and one of the 6 mares hops onto a stage and says "lets all celebrate with a PINKIE PIE CELEBRATION!!!!" Music comes on and everyone starts partying and having the times of their life.

"As we do this I will need a name of your group"

Kris holds up his drink and shouts out "TO THE FREE WILLS!!

Chapter 2 the encounter

A month has gone pass since the incident with the bandits the free wills have put together a wall surrounding ponyville. Along with a slaughterhouse, a armory, and a headquarters. Fluttershy enters the hideout "umm Kris c-could I talk to you."

Kris currently scheduling his troops shifts on the wall, and counting the money earned by his mercs "hmm, oh yes Fluttershy be out in a sec" the mare waited outside "now what is it you wanted to talk about?"

"Umm Kris that building, you guys have, the animals were telling me that your killing animals over, there are you?"

Kris sat next to Fluttershy "theres something you should know about humans, we are omnivores we eat what you guys eat but we also eat meat, now we could eat just vegetables and fruit but that is a decision at an early age the ones who have eaten meet since they were young cant stop it makes them weaker and sicker before to long they will go crazy and start eating the closet organic thing near us it being animal or human."

Fluttershy sitting there "but the animals, aren't they in a lot of pain?"

"Actually this one is different then most we breed them and we care for them making sure each are happy about themselves then when they are asleep we chop their head off that way they die happy."

"Well as long as they are happy I guess I can stand it."

Kris lays his head on the mares head " it might be best if you stayed away from that building and from our cafeteria." The mare nodded she then gets up and begins to leave when Kris stops her "so have you heard anything about twilight?"

"no. she refuses to leave her house until you and your men are gone."

"Why does she hate humans so much what have we do-"

"Kris?" asked Fluttershy.

"I'm okay I know she hates me and I know why to ill be back." Kris then walks to twilight's house and knocks on the door.

Twilight opens her door "what do you want?"

"I want to know why you can't let go" twilight eyebrow went up "what are you talking about?"

"I know you hate humans because of what swadbolt did."

The pony turned "then you should know why I don't want to be around humans, but that wont be a problem anymore?"

Kris's eyebrow rose "whys that?"

"Cause my brother is coming to pick me up and take me back to Cantalot."

"well if your gonna leave at least come to the festival if your not there everyone will be sad."

The pony sighed "fine but only cause my friends will be there but I don't want any part of you humans, also my brother likes to make an entrance so don't do anything stupid"

"that's fine we'll put up a stage for him" Kris then leaves twilight's house. Later that night "hows everything coming along mayor"

"Just perfect Kris we have applejack working on the food, we have pinkie pie on the decor, we have rarity working on the stage, rainbow dash on the entertainment, Fluttershy on the music."

"Wow" a little filly runs up "miss mayor! miss mayor! the others said everything is ready"

The gates open up and ponies pour into the square. "Hey Kris" said a dashing green pony. "Chelsea, Serenade, Alixa, Strands. you mares look fantastic where did you get the outfits."

"Rarity made it for us."

"Ofcourse I did i couldn't let four beautiful mares such as yourselves walk around in some unattractive armor."

The mares giggle "you should see Cody's and Kolten's outfits are."

Kris chuckled "Oh I have to see this" Two colts come over dressed in black leather jackets along with, Silver frame, blue tinted glasses. "damn, you guys look to cool for your own good."

"Laugh all you want but right now the girls are loving it." A mare yells out "oh boys" "got to go boss" The two colts run back over to the other mares.

"Its good to see them settling in, we have had hard times before coming here and it all started cause of him."

Hours passed "he's here" the lights dimmed the birds began to sing, Kris got on the left side of the stage with a bottle of beer in his hand. The mayor on the mic shouted "Hes here everypony I present to you Shiningarmor. The crowd cheers as the curtains open there stands a colt with white fur and a blue and sky blue mane. Kris's face blistering with rage shatters the bottle in his palm the cheers stop "kris are you okay?" asked the mayor

"You SON OF A BITCH!" The crowd gasps the mercs surround the colt, guns pointed at him.

"what is going on here?" The colt demanded "shut up" exerted Kris.

"Kris what are you doing!?" twilight asked.

"Your brother here is a worthless bandit him and all of the royal guard."

The colt then replied "what are you talking about."

"Let me jog you're memory two years ago in a neutral village called lil'kins." The colt then hid his head.

"Kris explain yourself whats going on" twilight demanded.

"Twilight you told me humans were scumbags last month when your brother is the only true scumbag, two years ago in my hometown lil'kins one of the few neutral villiages. It was a regular day working on the farm with my lovely wife and watching my son play with the fillies in the field. Then somewhere in town gunfire started I told my family to hide while I checked it out I grabbed my rifle and went to town. Once there I saw white stallions dressed in golden armor attacking innocent people laying waste to the town. Me and the townsfolk tried to defend the town but there were to many I retreated back to my house to find my fields on fire along with my barn and house. My son strung by his neck hanging off the flagpole my wife crying as I ran out to get her I was stripped of my weapon and held down by the magic of a unicorn. I look up to see shiningarmor looking over me and he said to me "watch as I kill your wife." He then starts ripping of a finger at a time, when all her fingers were gone he stuffed them down her throat and snapped her neck. I fell unconscious when I awoke everything was destroyed my house, my farm, my family everything gone. I left to town to find survivors, all of us who were left fled our town traveling. As we went into mercenaring it made bits the fastest we traveled from town to town trying to find a new home.....The name free wills wasn't just some name we came up with. it was our anthem. "We who chose not to fight, we who have banded together to create such a friendly community, we who gave each other their own free will, will never come to hate one another. " "This man not only burned down our home, killed our families but doomed us to a life of wandering. Men throw him in the jail cell back at headquarters, but before you do that" Kris grabs the colts head places it off the stage lifts his foot up and stomps on his horn snapping it off. The colt cries out in pain "alright throw him in jail. twilight when you return to Cantalot tell Celestia it will be 7,000 bits for bail." Twilight runs off heading towards Cantalot.

"Mayor are you gonna let this happen?"

"Kris you cant do this" the mayor said.

"In the contract you signed if I decide to arrest someone you have no authority about it. Now free wills get everything set up we need to be vigilant ill be watching shiningarmor. Now go!"

Chapter 4 New Ride

Kris enters the town center and says "mayor ill shall be leaving tomorrow. I'm gonna leave my pony mercs here while I take the human ones."

The mayor looking confused then asked "Why are you leading a attack or what?"

Kris then chuckled "no, I'm just taking them for backup."

"Against?"

"Well a dragon of course, do you know how much humans fear dragons? Only the bravest of souls would challenge one."

The mayor stood shocked "A DRAGON!!! Are you insane, dragons will burn you into a crisp, and you want to go challenge one!?"

"Yep" Kris grinned.

"We at at war with Lilth, how is you fighting a dragon gonna help us in this."

"A man who rides a dragon is a man feared by all, but respected by his comrades. When the enemy sees my army fear will strike their mind, but wont effect the outcome of the battle, but then I arrive on dragon-back and they gawk in terror. Then ill rain down fire on their heavy armor leaving their troops the only thing in my way."

"But if you die then who will lead your mercs?"

"Serenade, shes my co-chief if I die she takes over. But the probability of me dying is 7 out of 10. So I piratically have a 30% chance of survival."

"Only 30% and your still gonna go!?"

"Well ofcourse I still have a 30% chance that's enough for me to be confident."

"bu~" before she could finish Kris jumps out the window landing in the drivers seat of a off road jeep. "have fun! Come on guys were going dragon hunting!" The mercs then all cheered, while all the citizens stared in frightened confusion. The jeeps rev their engines and ride out the gates.

"So Kris where are we going for these dragons anyways?"

"Back when I lived in Lilth I researched equestria and its many provinces. The place where the dragons reside is, and get this its called dragons keep."

"Dragons keep? Not very discreet now is it." After many hours of driving Kris and his men arrive at the keep to find a massive structure. Kris and his men unload their gear and set up a outpost on the far side of the structure "Kris! You might want to see this."

Kris runs over and snatches the binoculars from the scouts hands. "What are they doing?" Kris said. Then a loud roar echoed through the air as Kris looked over to see a dragon being ripped of all his skin. Keeping it over a huge grate for the blood to pour down. "What hell are they doing this for!?" The scout next to him then points out a sign on the building "hmm what does that say? Geo-Geoskinned. Wait a minute isn't that the reptile skinning cooperation? you know the one, its that corporation that sells reptile products and accessories."

"So why are they skinning dragons then?"

"Well dragons are part of the reptile habitat so I guess they decided dragon skin will be their next new fashion product.

Alright I'm going in."

"Are you nuts! This might be just a reptile skin factory, but its armed just enough to contain dragons. What good will you do in there alone."

"I'm not going alone, Milwaukee you're with me."

"yes sir!" Kris and Milwaukee enter the factory's premises and take out two guards and strips them of their clothes. "Now it will be easier to get in." The two the approach a door that says "authorized personnel only." The two look at each other and chuckle as they open the door. The door lead into a control room where five scientists were sitting and talking about their latest operation. Then they noticed the two mercs.

"What are you doing in here! Someone hit the security switch!"

Kris and Milwaukee then sequence their movements and snap the scientists necks. "Milwaukee get on that computer start researching this factory and its occupants I'm gonna go explore."

"Alright boss"

Kris then exits another door leading into a corridor of massive proportions. "This must be where they keep the dragons. Hey look a peep hole" Loud dragon humping noises echo through Kris's mind "Ugh oh god I think im gonna puke."

"Kris how is the exploring going"

"OH GOD WHY!! I just witnessed dragon on dragon porn right in front of me."

"Hey. Hey remember its not porn unless its recorded."

"So, did you find anything yet?"

"Yeah I was able to get pass their firewall, apparently at the end of the corridor your in is the dragon pack leader."

"Pack leader, I thought that was only for wolves?"

"Hell if I know your the one who researched dragons."

"okay ill start heading down there, ill call back if I live the encounter. Oh and Milwaukee when did you become such a smartass?" Bullet fly past Kris's face cutting his cheek."shit Milwaukee ill call for you later!" So Kris bolts for the end of the corridor dodging bullets and firing at guards in his path. He makes it to a small door and enters it "Shit shit there coming, Milwaukee are you there come in!"

"I'm here what."

"I'm inside the room at the end of the corridor but there's a ton of guards heading down my way."

"Yeah give me a sec and there!" The door behind Kris locks and two bars fall in front of it.

"Now where is that dragon."

Fire flares behind Kris lighting a batch of wood on fire. "You human! Why are you here? Are you here to kill me too."

"No sir I'm here to see what happened here. The last time I researched it dragons keep was a happy resting place for dragons. What happened?"

"It was a happy sunshiny day. The day I became king of the dragons. The last king got bored of being the guardian of the keep and helped the humans capture it. They told him if they succeed then he will be accepted into the human army. I don't understand how he fell for such a ridiculous lie. By the time they captured us they already had him tied down and as a message to the rest of us he was the first subject to be skinned. It still haunts me to this day his screams of pain echo in my head. I shouldn't have left ponyville."

Kris then shot up "wait did you just say that you are from ponyville?"

"Yes why?"

"I am the lord of ponyville."

"What!? I swear if you hurt a single pony I will fry your ass like chicken."

Kris rested his hand on the dragons snout "don't worry princess Celestia made me one of her lords to serve and protect equestria."

"So no one is hurt *Phew* I was scared there for a minute I thought twilight might have been endangered."

"Twilight...like Twilight Sparkle?"

"Yep that's her you know her?"

"You could say so."

"I wish I could see her again."

"Hmm what if I broke you and the other dragons out?"

"That would be amazing we could destroy these humans and retake the dragons keep, but whats the catch?"

"One you have to come back with me to ponyville. Two you and your army will become my vassals and help me bring down the human empire."

"Deal as long as we destroy the humans and are set free then ill do anything you want."

"Great but before we do that my name is Kris, yours?"

"Spike"

"Milwaukee come in,"

"I hear you, what is it?"

"I need you to release all the dragons at once."

"All sir?"

"All of them and get the boys to start the attack."

"Rodger." The cages open and gunfire and fire lights up the dark hallway. Spike walks out and give his brethren a speech "alright guys these humans have tortured us enough, but lets not forget. That even though these humans harvested us that all humans aren't bad, for today we have thanks for the human who has set us free!"

"Hello mighty and majestic creatures of fire I came here today to free you of your enslavement. Right now my men are outside fighting the guards who kept you all here. I ask that you help them for they will not survive this fight in return for your help I will help you with your vengeance against the human government. So what have you say will you help us!" The dragons look at each other and spit fire at the roof above them making a hole for them to get out from. "Lets join them shall we spike."

"We shall!" Spike unleashes a powerful roar collapsing the roof. The battle raged on for 3 minutes before the guards and scientists were all dead. "Milwaukee meet us back at camp Kay?"

"roger that boss on my way now."

"Spike we still have an agreement you must return with me to ponyville."

"I know I am excited to see twilight again its been too long."

"But there is one thing spike I want you to wait for my signal" "hmm?" "I want twilight to be surprised."

"I got you okay ill wait for your signal."

The men get back to camp where they are greeted by their fellow mercs and Kris is greeted by a really excited yellow pegasus. "Hey fluttershy I'm back, hey do you know where twilight is?"

"She should be at home."

"Thanks!" Kris then sprints over to the library to find the purple mare circling her hoof in the dirt. "Twilight..Twilight!! Hey whats wrong?"

"Oh its nothing. Well it is something today is the tenth anniversary since spike left I haven't seen or heard from him since. But besides that I don't want to talk to you don't you remember I hate humans and you broke my brothers horn. I will never talk to you."

Kris pulls out a flare gun. "Well that's a real shame."

"What are you~" Kris then fires off the flare and the ground starts to shake. "What...i-is ha-happening!?" Twilight's friends then run over to her.

"What in tarnation is that?" Then a giant purple and green dragon towers over the wall and smiles down at twilight. "spike.."

"H-hi twilight sorry I didn't visit I've been tied up."

"Spike!" Twilight then runs over to spike and hugs his snout.

"I missed you so much twilight."

"I missed you to spike."

Kris then walks over "so apology accepted." Twilight nodded with a tear in her eye.

"Apology accepted."

The pink pony then jumped up and said "this calls for a welcome home party!" And throughout the night the town of ponyville partied til morning.

Chapter 5 Slave Freedom

The dragons alliance caused an uproar within the human empire. which in turn led to a campaign across equestria. Spike and his reptilian brethren have been stalling the human attackers. While the equestrian forces evacuates the citizens from nearby cities and towns. Kris and his army were on their way to support spike and his men against the human forces.

"Alright men once we get over this ridge, it will be a approximate 12 mile hike to the checkpoint." Just before Kris could turn around he tripped over a root and fell down a massive hill. "Again!? Seriously. I fucking hate hills!!!"

"Are you alright down there commander?" Shouted one of the prisoner ponies. The colt slid down along as the rest of the war party. "Sheesh what is this place its like a cavern or something."

"what the hell are you talking about soldier?" Kris then turned around no longer looking at the hill that made him look like a dumb ass. His mouth opened as he gasped at astonishment of the massive cavern. "Damn this cavern is huge it looks like it was made to transport tanks or something." Kris proceeds to walk into the cavern. "The cavern is already lit with many torches and there seems to b~" Before Kris finished his sentence he noticed a beaten up creature laying against the cavern wall. "We have injured, medic get up here. Were here! Hey wake up you still alive!? I can feel a pulse. MEDIC UPFRONT IMMEDIATELY!!"
A group of nurses from the ponyville's hospital ran up and started to treat the injured creature.

"Nurse Redheart reporting Kris. I cant see the victim Serenade give me some light!" The unicorn then lifted up a torch and brought it close to the broken victim. The light revealed who the injured victim was. There was a loud gasp coming from the ponies from ponyville.

Kris then jumped out of fear. "What? What? What is it? Do you know who this is."

"That's Fido he's one of the three leaders of the last Diamond dog militia group. They used to kidnap unicorns in order to find gems faster." The white unicorn then proceeded to walk away from the victim. Kris then grabbed the mane of the mare and threw her towards the injured diamond dog. "Redheart!" Shouted one of the other nurses.

"Where do you think you are going. I don't care about this mutt's past transactions the fact is that he is here now and, that he is injured I will not leave behind an injured man." The mare lifted herself up and stared at Kris with a disgusted look. She then proceeded to patch up the wounded militia leader. As Redheart was patching up the abused mutt. Fido opened his eyes and panicked when he got a look at Kris.

"Noo please don't hurt me master I swear ill listen this time just don't hurt them!" Kris then leaned down and picked up the dog by the collar.

"Calm down soldier. Tell me Fido what happened to you? Who did this to you?" The scared mutt then looked around and saw the combination of ponies and humans, And then suddenly relaxed. "There we go. Now tell me Fido what happened to you and what did you mean by them?"

"You are nice human. You ain't one of them?" Kris then shook his head side to side. "Yes my name is Fido I am one of the two last leaders of the Diamond Dog Bandits."

"Last two I was informed that there were three leaders?" The mutts face then saddened and his ears lowered.

"Yes there was three of us. Til that damn human slave master came. We was having a normal day of digging jewels for Rover. Me and spot were taking our monthly bath when all of a sudden we heard gunfire. Me and Spot grabbed our swords and met up with the men, our warriors were bound by leashes and our pack leader Rover bowing down and grovelling to the human for his men to stop. The man told us that our people will now be his slaves and collect jewels for the human empire. Spot shouted like the fool he was and demanded that the man leave before he got mad. But the human without second thought just shot Spot dead in front of me." Kris sat down across from the diamond dog.

"That answers that question but what happened to you?" The mutt then raised his head.

"I spoke out against my master and told him that just cause he corrupted Rover doesn't mean that I will to. He then told me that I was no longer needed and that if I ever showed my face to him again he would slaughter ten women and children for every second that I'm in his presence. He then order his men to beat me with the buds of their guns until I was dead or unconscious." Kris then leaned in and asked "What do you mean by corrupted?"

"Like I said he corrupted Rover. Rover was always weak for one thing and one thing only, jewels. He used to force us to kidnap unicorns to help, find jewels faster but me and Spot always set them free without Rover knowing. When Rover saw the massive intake the diamond dogs were getting, and the share he got from the master he stopped cheering up the men. And started whipping them like the humans did. Please human please save my people ill do anything please I don't want to see my people suffer any longer." Kris stood and whipped out his rifle.

"Alright men it's time for us to make another ally. Load up your guns and get ready for a shoot out. I want no casualties, and I want every last enemy human killed. If we come by any cells with prisoners in them I want you to shoot the padlock open and let them free you got that?" The war party then proceeded to load each and every gun they had and started moving inward with Kris leading ahead. "Redheart you stay here with Fido I'm sure you have a lot of questions for him. Kris and the men then marched down the cavern.

"What did he mean by questions?" The mutt stared at the white mare and then gasped "I remember you rover found you on the outside of the wasteland picking herbs. For a special patient. Ooh wait.. don't tell me, did the patient pass? Miss please do not blame this on me or Spot we saved you from Rover. Don't you remember?"

"No all I remember was that I was searching for herbs for my sick husband and that when I had collected all the herbs I needed for the antidote I was dragged underground and beaten half to death! When I woke up I was next to my husband in a full body cast. That night my husband had a massive stroke and kept calling my name I tried my hardest to reach him, and hit the emergency button. But I couldn't because a certain group of diamond dogs had broke all my bones and left me in a cast. I had to spend that night watching my husband foam from the mouth and stare at me with sadness in his eyes. They found his body flopped over mine and me paralyzed by the term of events. It took me two years of mental therapy and 3 months of physical therapy to recover. So no I don't remember anyone saving me, just them putting me through hell."

"Miss I could never apologize enough to make amends to what you had to go through, but I might have a way to get your revenge. I forgot to tell your commander where to find Rover. Here take this its a surgical knife I have had, it with me for years you know what to do with this." The Diamond dog then whispered the location of the traitor Rover into miss Redheart's ear.

Gunfire echoes from the area of where Kris and his men headed down. "Everyone take out them out." The enslaved Diamond dogs saw an opportunity for freedom and started to rip their masters apart. "That works to I guess? Your leader Fido is wounded down the cavern behind us, our medic team is now treating his wounds." The diamond dogs looked at each other some ran back toward their injured leader others picked up the rifles of the dead and formed up with Kris. "Alright then lets free the diamond dogs!! The fighting last for half an hour before they had reached the end of the cavern where they saw a man saddled up on a captured Stallion.

"YOU!? WHAT HAVE YOU'VE DONE!? YOU JUST ATTACK YOUR OWN RACE!!" Shouted the slave master.

"Fuck the human empire! They will never know of the sins they have committed against the Equestrian empire." With that said Kris punched the man in the face and had him dragged off. He then released the captured stallion.

"Many thanks sir I can now return to my company."

"God speed soldier and bring hell upon the humans and their tyrannical leadership." The stallion then ran for the exit of the cavern. "We captured the slave master but where is Rover?" Redheart then pushed by Kris and shifted a rock out a place which then opened a door that revealed the diamond dog sleeping on a pile of gems. Redheart then step inside the room and closed the door. "Redheart stop!" Fido then walks over to Kris and says. "Leave it she has to do this."

"Hmm...huh who are you? Whats that in your mouth. No wait stay back from me!!!" Screams echoed from behind the door as if a wild animal was eating him alive. Blood leaked from underneath the door. The screaming had stopped and all that was heard was grunting and the sound of slicing tissue. The door open the once white mare was now coated in the diamond dogs blood and laughing with delight. She then walked over to Fido and hugged him "Now you are forgiven."

Everyone had glanced into the room to see that Rover had been gutted and his intestines streamed like sausages on the floor. "Holy shit.....THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME!! She will now be known as combat Medic Redheart."

Fido then approaches Kris "you have saved my people from slavery how can we repay you." Kris then hands Fido an enlistment form for the REA. "I don't understand what is this?"

"I want you and your people to join under the Royal Equestrian Army as tunnel builders so me and my troops may pop up behind our enemies and take them from behind. "One not only will your debt be cleared we will have all your bounties revoked and whatever you dig up in these holes are your, along with a steady supply of food and weaponry."

"How could I refuse such an incredible opportunity. You my good sir have a deal. Me and my people will make you war tunnels."

"Good cause were in the need of one right now." Fido tilted his head in confusion "Why?" Kris then pulled out a map and pointed at a field on the map. "We are supposed to be taking over this small outpost. That happens to be right above us if you can get us up there we would be grateful." Fido shook his head and then proceeded to make a tunnel going up. Spike and his men have just pulled out tired of waiting for reinforces but then an explosion happens in the center of the base and the men guarding the outpost were screaming in terror as one by one they dropped like flies. "Our next step is to conquer a well populated city and we'll be that much closer to taking the throne."

Author's Note

I changed the format of this so people will stop bitching at me.

Chapter 3 The raid

Three days past and kris's men are prepared for war, while the town cowards in their houses. "Kris" exerted a tall skinny white man. "We need more soilders if we dont get help we wont survive the attack" "Well Where do you expect me to get these troops. If you've hadn't noticed the town is scared of us." kris said with anger in his voice.

"Kris we have to go with operation bailment."

Kris sighed "fine" Kris then entered the ponyville detention center. The warden comes out and asks Kris "what honor we must have to be greeted by the infamous mercenary Kris"

Kris shrugged "yea I have a name for myself, don't I?"

"What do you want from us Kris?"

"I want the list of people who have been thrown in jail for murder."

The warden with eyes open wide "why?"

"Just give me the list please" "Fine" the brick colored pony left and returned with a small clipboard containing a list of 50 ponies charged with murder "i'll take them."

The pony looked confused "what do you mean take them"

"I mean that im gonna take them, give them weapons, and hold the line against Celestia"

"But these are the most dangerous ponies in all of equestria!"

Kris smiled "good." The warden then rounds up all the murderous ponies and put them in the square. "well I have good news for you all, you're free." the prisoners cheer "You will be taken to a mercenary outpost and equipped with heavy fire power where you will help me hold off the attack led by Celestia.

"Celestia you mean the princess but why would you attack her" said a concerned looking stallion.

Kris stepped up "I am the leader of the mercs you will be joining. I want you all to know that I am not looking forward to fighting Celestia I'm just saying I rather I be prepared then witness the death of all my men. So what you are saying is that you wont come with me, cause if you do you would be freed of this place and live a amazing life where you are healthy and well fed so long as you look for jobs to do and kill who needs to be killed."

The ponies looked around at each other and agreed "we'll fight with you, but not cause of the food, or the freedom , cause we all have a vendetta against Celestia.

"Kris smiled and yelled "well those of you who are coming get on the bus." Kris and them get back to ponyville where the prisoners line up and arm themselves.

A lavanderish pony walks up to Kris "the princess is waiting for you" Kris followed the pony into a large building to be greeted by princess Celestia in a black robe. "So lets cut the crap you got my 7,000 bits" the princess responded to Kris "I got them but before I give them to you why are you here and why did you kidnap shiningarmor, you know his wife is really concerned. I had to hold her by her tail to make sure she didn't come down here herself and kill you."

"I'm guessing twilight didn't fill you in, but your man shiningarmor led a war party to my hometown lil'kins and drove me and my people to a life of wandering. As for the other question one of the mares here saved my life when I was injured after a fight in the everfree forest. Soon after I left. I returned with my men and saved the village from the bandits that have been raiding this place. The mayor and I had a contract that allowed me and my men to set up a HQ here and act as the law of the village."

The princess then puts her hoove on Kris's shoulder "I ordered that attack and I can tell you why it had to be done."

Kris grinned "good cause I'm sure we all want to know" a curtain then opens up to a angry crowd. "well you were saying."

"We had information that the son of Swadbolt lived in that town, but we had no idea who it was so I ordered an complete extermination of the town. We had to do it that village was the closet settlement to our capital if we didn't destroy it Swadbolt might have had his son lead an army to the capital and the war would be lost."

"So you burned down my village kill my family just so you could kill me!" T

he princess backed up with eyes wide open "you're Swadbolt's son!?"

The name is Kris Swadbolt ex-heir to my fathers throne."

The mare leaned forward "ex-heir?"

"Yes you might not have known this but me and Luna were the best of friends."

"you were friends with Luna?" "Yeah why do you think she kept going to Lilth."

"She told me that she was going for diplomatic reasons."

"by diplomatic you mean destroying nations on Civilization, then yes diplomatic."

The goddess looked confused then "Why did you betray her!"

Kris then pistol whipped Celestia "princess!" Shouted twilight.

Kris grabbed Celestia's horn and pulled her in close and released. "I never betrayed Luna, my father is the one who betrayed us, he used me to get Luna. One day while me and Luna were hanging out by the mall I went to go get our drinks for the movie and when I got back I found my father and his men tying up Luna. I pulled my gun out and got a few of his men but they disarmed me and knocked me out. When I came to I was tied to a chair staring at Luna as my father held a gun to her head. I was next my father told me and I sat there helpless as I watched my friend die right before my eyes. Before she died she casted a spell and I was surrounded in sparkles when I woke up I was outside of lil'kins. I was going to go back and take out my father but a message appeared in front of me like a memory note. It read "Kris I teleported you to the safest town near the capital tell my sister I sent you she'll take care of the rest." I was about to head to the capital but when I left town I looked at the castle and saw a flock of hundreds return bruised and bloody led by you. I knew if I came to you I would have been dragged to the square and publicly executed. So I chose to stay clear of the castle. I was having a nice peaceful life but then the attack happened. My peace was ruined and your to blame!"

Celestia then backed up trying to piece it together in her mind "But Wh~?" Suddenly the town hall exploded causing the building to collapse on itself Kris jumped in fear "Fuck!"

One of the prisoner ponies ran up to Kris "we're being under attack"

Kris replied "yeah I can tell but who!"

"Its the humans it looks like a raiding party looks to be about 400 men."

"Fuck! Princess Celestia you get the town out of here."

Celestia knodded "right"

"Twilight you make sure that everyone is out and I swear to god you better make sure Fluttershy is safe." "Right!" "Oh and twilight" kris throws a key at the mare "get your brother out of my headquarters."

Twilight nodded "what about you kris" asked Celestia.

"I have to stay here with my troops we'll hold them off you get back to Cantalot prepare your troops, cause you're most likely their next objective" Kris then runs out to battle. Voices screaming from all directions "defend the wall!" "I need a medic!" "Kris what do we do?" Kris orders his troops "free wills load up the clusters" catapult's filled with Molotov cocktails are brought up to the wall. "Fire!" The catapults unleash at the same time the Molotovs spread like rain upon the invading forces heads. Screams of pain echoed through the field. Suddenly a tank blows up a chunk of the wall where two mares were supplying ammo. "Where are those anti-tank guns at!" A flap opens up on the walls where anti-tank gun's barrels were sticking out. They fired off a round destroying the tanks on the eastern hill. The enemy troops were at the walls already "retreat get to the buildings!" The rest of the company retreated back to the buildings where they had light machine guns and mines placed in strategic positions. The forces rushed in "Gun them down!" heavy machine guns light up the gate where all the soldiers were pouring in from. Jeeps started to drive through town just to meet the underground mines. While kris and his men fight. The rest of the townsfolk were able to retreat and make there way to the capital.

Celestia spoke "twilight I leave you in charge make sure everyone is safe I have to get back to Cantalot." Twilight nod and Celestia flew off not taking her long to arrive at the barracks. "commander ready the troops were going in for an artillery strike."

The commander stared curiously "an artillery strike but where?"

"Right along the edges of ponyville."

"you heard her men get ready. Alpha you get the napalm, echo you have the sharpnels, bravo you got the gas bombs. Troops move out!"

Kris pinned down in sugar cube corner "Kris what do we do!?"

"pray" gunfire plaguing the air. "Snipers take out the troops climbing the wall" Kris then runs out pistol in hand sword in the other cutting down the men who had made it through the gate. "load those mortars damnit!" mortars rang out exploding behind the wall blasting bits of soldiers all over the place. "Kris we can't hold them for much longer"

"you better or next body to hit the ground will be yours." The lilthian troops then start getting an advantage over the free wills one by one ponies and humans fall to the ground until half the troops are dead.

"Kris I don't want to die!"

Time slowed down and Kris saw as his friends, his troops suffering "everyone retreat I hold them off, NOW GO!" Kris's troops hesitated but did not falter.

"Not a chance Kris we are the free wills we don't abandon each other"

Kris smiled "well then lets keep whats ours" The troops cheered and pushed the enemy behind the wall. Suddenly a swarm of armored pegasi fly across the sky dropping gas bombs, which filled the outer walls and blinded the enemy. A second swarm fly's over dropping a napalm shell igniting the gas setting off a giant explosion destroying all vehicular and anti guns along the outside of the wall. The lilthians then retreated while the final swarm of pegasi unleashed a rain of shrapnel that killed the rest of the infantry escaping. The battle was won.

Hours passed and the townsfolk had returned to the village to find their homes wrecked and on fire while the streets were covered in blood and torn bodies. Screams of pain echoed around them as soldiers cried for their loved ones who died in the mist of battle.

A yellow pony burst through the crowd calling for Kris "Kris! Kris! Serande wheres kris!?"

"Calm down Fluttershy Kris is fine him and a few of the guys are out giving burials to our fallen comrades. My advice though is when he gets back don't approach him he's gonna need some time alone." Seconds later the bus filled with men with sad drooped faces exit and carry out the equipment. Kris walks into the square with a megaphone. "Everyone we must restore the town so for those with strong stomachs we need you on body control, everyone else we need to repair the town's foundations." The people get to work to return their town to glory.

Celestia approaches Kris "I have an opposition for you."

Kris raises his head "oh and what might that be."

"We want you to become one of our lords and help equestria from the tyrannical rule of Swadbolt "do you accept?"

Kris looked around "well men what do you say, She did save us from dying." the free wills start conversing and come to an agreement. Kris then walked over to the goddess "I accept you're offer on two conditions."

"Name them" requested Celestia.

"One we want ponyville, and two shiningarmor is to never set foot in our territory." The princess takes a minute to think.

"Well you have kept this place safe and we would like to keeps order between our lords, so I say you have a deal." The goddess and merc shake on it and Kris is announced lord of ponyville.
