MLP: The Return Of Humansby PainfulHeartChaptersThe BeginningThe AwakeningBrad is fake?!The BeginningLong ago...our ansestors lived alongside ponies. We gathered berries and fruit while the ponies helped by growing crops. Nothing could split them apart until...our ansestors learned to hunt. They began hunting almost any creature even the ponies! Princesses Celestia and Luna decided to drive our ansestors out of Equestria. The princesses' plan worked, being attacked, our ansestors left Equestria and found a new home.Now with the humans gone, Princesses Celestia and Luna then decided to hide the fact that humans existed. Humans were considered folklore...up until now! Present Day, Systems Corp... "Wake up, you'll be late to evaluate the testers again". One of the company's scientists, Nancy said, attempting to wake Head Scientist, Jake. "JAKE! WAKE UP!!" Jake nearly fell out of bed, "what is it Nancy?!". "Look at the time! That's what" Jake only glanced at the clock for a second before realizing, "Holy smokes! I'm late!". Soon, Jake was ready, " which ones are we testing again?". "It is Brad and Kiba", Nancy answered, "they don't want to wait again". "I know, I know" Jake responded. The two scientists finally reached the testing room where Brad and Kiba is waiting. "Sorry for being late again", grumbled Jake as he enters the room, "shall we get started then?". Meanwhile in Equestria... Princess Celestia is doing her usual duties: watching over Equestria while her sister, Princess Luna sleeps. It is mid day and Celestia was just about to get some fresh air when a strange chopping sound fills the air. "Quiet! We need our sleep for the night!". Celestia looks down the hall and watches as one of Luna's guards goes flying and smacks the marble wall face first. Across from the guard was a opened door; as Celestia looked at the door, Luna stepped out. "What is that vile sound!" Luna demanded in the Royal Canterlot Voice, "we cannot sleep because of it!". "I don't know Luna" responded Celestia. Luna looked and noticed Celestia standing there, "Hellow sis, I didn't see you there". Celestia nodded, "that's alright, I was about to head outside when I heard it". Just then, one of Celestia's guards came running, " your highness!". "What is it?" asked Celestia, "what is going on?". "There's a big, metal flying machine outside!", the guard said sounding afraid. Celestia and Luna looked at each other before going outside to investigate. Sure enough, there was a big metal contraption sitting just outside the royal garden. "What in Equestria is that?!" Luna asked, "its nothing I have ever seen". Just then a group of people came out of it and started making their way to Luna and her sister. "Humans!" Luna yelled in anger. Luna was about to attack the group when one of them said "wait! we are not here to fight!". Luna stopped and looked back at her sister; Celestia just stood there watching the group. "Sis?...", Luna asked not sure what to do. "All we want is to talk", said the leader of the group. "Just you then, no one else" responded Celestia. "Sis, they're humans, vile creatures" argued Luna, "they attacked us long ago when we was just helping them". "This one seems different", Celestia responded, " he can actually talk". The man fanally reached them with his group back at the contraption, "thank you, this is important". "What is it?", asked Celestia. "We need your help" the man responded. back at Systms Corp... The sound of clashing metal fills the testing room. Two young men are locked in deadly combat. Swords flying at mach speeds as they try to land a blow on each other. One wears a cybonic claw on his left arm and the other wears one on his right. Jake was getting annoyed by the fight, " come on now! We still have the serum left to test!". "In a minute", responded one of the fighters. "We don't have much time Kiba! Hurry up!", Jake snaps, "how hard is it to corner Brad?!". To answer Jake's question, Kiba launched Brad into the wall and trapped him with his claw, " got you now Brad". "You might want to check again Kiba", Brad responded with a smile, tapping the inside of Kiba's leg. "I guess its a tie then...", Kiba stated. "Now since you two are done..." Jake started, "inject this serum, it should enhance your.....abilities...". The alarm was ringing throughout the lab, "WARNING, INTRUDERS DETECTED, STARTING CODE RED LOCKDOWN". The three looked around as the doors sealed themselves. "Quick, inject the serum!" Jake yelled, "I'm going to open a worm hole for you two to reach the military base not far from Equestria!". Brad and Kiba both injected themselves with the serum as a worm hole opened up, "How about you Jake?!", asked Kiba. "I'm going to buy you some time...hey let me go!", Jake yelled as Brad threw him through the worm hole. " I'm going to damage the controls so that they don't follow us" Kiba said just as the door blasts open to reveal gunfire, "crap! They broke through". Brad threw Kiba through the worm hole as he holds the attackers back. "Hey what's that beebing noise" Brad wonders. Then he found out that Kiba threw C-4 at the terminals, "aw, crap". The explosives detonated, sending Brad flying through the worm hole as it closes. One of the cloaked attackers walked up to the charred worm hole generator and announced, "go ahead and run, we know exactly where you are". The man removed his cloak to reveal a scientist, " my cyborg army will find you soon enough Brad and Kiba, then nothing will stand in my way to get revenge on those two who drove us out of Equestria". back in Equestria... "I can't believe you are really going to let them into Equestria again", mumbled Luna, "I mean, they tried to hunt us!". "Enough Lulu" Celestia responded, "remember, they came to us for help this time. It seems as if they completely changed, so I decided to give them another chance if they can prove that they have changed". Luna only growled, "fine, but if they attack us again like that, then I'll hunt every last one down". "Whatever" Celestia sighed, "I should get some sleep so that the day doesn't start late". "I guess I'll take a brief flight before anymore of those....what are they called again?!" Luna said. "You mean that helicopter?" answered Celestia, "don't worry, they said that they aren't going to send anyone until tomarrow". Luna stepped outside and unfolded her wings, but before she took off, a bright flash appeared. "That looked like it was in the Everfree Forest" Luna said. Luna immediately took off and headed to where the flash appeared. The Everfree Forest... Brad got up from where he landed, "looks like I'm in a forest". Brad took a step and fell, "damn it Kiba", Brad mumbled to himself, "don't you think that was enough explosives?!". He then checked His cybonic claw and saw that it retracted back into a big wrist watch, "great, now its going to take time for it to repiar itself. Brad then pressed a button on the watch to display a map, "according to the map" Brad stated, "I'm a little ways off from my destination, I'm in the Everfree Forest". He got back up and found a stick, "guess I'm limping there". Just as Brad was about to take a step, he heard wings flapping. Quickly, Brad dropped the stick and drew his blade. "We knew humans can't be trusted!", shouted Luna, "Feel our wrath human". "oh, boy, guess I'm intruding or something" mumbled Brad, "what do you mean can't be trusted?! I didn't do anything except escaped with my life". "Wait, escaped with your life?!" Luna questioned. Then the she noticed that Brad is injured, "how did that happened?!". "Don't worry about that now" Brad answered, "I have to get to base asap, got any idea where the closest town is?". "Hmm...if you are injured" Luna started. "Don't get any ideas, I can still fight" Brad interrupted. Brad then sheathed his blade and goes to take a step, but falls. Luna catches him in mid fall and says sarcastically, "yea, you can still fight, what is your name?". "Its Brad" Brad responded, "and yours?". "Princess Luna" Luna answered. Luna then looked around to find anything that will carry Brad in, finding nothing, she looked back at Brad and sighed, "don't think this will happen often". "What?!" Brad questioned, then he caught on what Luna said, "oh, hell no, I am not doing that, I rather walk". "Trust me, I don't like this idea either but its the only way" Luna stated. "You going to have to drag me because I'm not riding you and that's it" Brad said looking away. Seeing the chance, Luna cracked Brad with her hoof, knocking him out, "sorry but its the only way". Luna then hauled Brad onto her back, takes off and heads towards Fluttershy's house The AwakeningThe Everfree Forest… Luna couldn't believe how light Brad actually was, she thought that Brad will be heavier than this but yet she can still fly effortlessly. So effortlessly in fact that she didn't even realized that Brad's unconscious body had slipped and fell back onto the forest ground. Meanwhile, at Fluttershy's house… Fluttershy is preparing dinner for her animal friends, "come on now Angel" she calmly said to a bunny, "its good for you". The bunny pushes his food away. "Please, just only a little" Fluttershy asked. Then Fluttershy hears a knock on the door and gasps. She is not used to having visitors at night. "W-who is it" Fluttershy called shyly. "Fluttershy, its me, Luna" Luna answered, "I have something that is injured". Fluttershy, who loves animals, busts open the door to see what animal Luna had brought her. "Luna, where is it, I don't see it" Fluttershy asked, confused. "He is on my back" Luna answered. Luna looks back and gasps, "wh-where did he go?!". Luna looked everywhere, but could not find Brad. "Fluttershy follow me, I think he fell off back in the Everfree Forest". "No, I'm not going there even during the night" Fluttershy said, scared. "Fluttershy" Luna said calmly, "you wont be alone, I'll be there". "Oh yea, sorry I forgot" Fluttershy said. Back in the Everfree Forest… Luna leads the way with Fluttershy next to her. It wasn't long before they found Brad laying on his back with a sword piercing his cheast; a blood pool had formed around him. "WARNING, LIFE DEADLINED, SHUTTING DOWN" the female robotic voice said through the watch. "N-no…" Luna said, "we're too late". Tears formed as an unknown feeling of grief grips Luna's heart; why is she feeling this, it was like Brad was close to her yet she nearly knows him. Controlled by grief, Luna dips her head, her horn just inches away from Brad. Just then, a red bolt had sparked from Brad to Luna's horn. Luna jumps back in alarm, "what was that!". Luna looked around just as she hears something in her head, "awake, we are at full power" the voice said. "No…" another voice responded, "if I let you awake, it will be the end of life itself". Luna is frightened by the voices, they sounded just like Brad's! "Stop! That body is ours" someone shouted. A group of people appeared carrying swords. "Who are you?!" shouted Luna. Fluttershy hides behind Luna as two men came up behind them and held swords to their necks. "Hmm…" said the leader of the group, pulling his sword out of Brad, "too bad his friend, Kiba isn't here, guess these two will have to do for now". Then a navy blue aura, similar to Luna's surrounds. Brad's body, lifting him off the ground. Red lightning began covering his body. Everyone stopped and looked as Brad's body sprouts black wings. Again, Luna hears the voices in her head, "this is great! That pony had enough magic to sustain the connection between us, now we can easily kill these pathetic life forms who thought that they can kill us!". Brad's body lands on the ground feet first. "L-Luna…" Fluttershy said nervously. Brad's eyes snaps open. Two glowing yellow eyes looking at them, "Hellow cybonic freaks, now tell me, which one of you wants to die first". The group lunges at Brad, stabbing him with their swords, blood spraying everywhere. But the wounds healed themselves, Brad only smiles, "my turn". Brad throws his fist straight through one them as he slashes at another one with his blade. The two fell into a mess of blood and grease as Brad turns and looks at the rest of the group, "anyone else?". Brad's cybonic claw finally extends back over his left arm, "looks like you will have no chance now" Brad said with an evil smile. Brad the grabs the closest cyborg with his claw and crushes it's head, blood and oil sprays from the crushed skull. The rest of the group circles him. Brad glowed navy blue as he summons flames around the group. Luna watches as Brad kills the rest by burning them. Brad then turns and face the two who is still holding swords to Luna and Fluttershy's necks, "now, I advise you to let them go". The two dropped their swords and ran. They didn't go far before a cybonic claw slashed at them, ending their lives. Brad looked at Luna and saw what he had done. His eyes turned back to brown as the wings dissapeared back into his body, "I'm...I'm sorry, I couldn't stop". Luna walked up to Brad and placed a hoof on him, "I'm glad you are ok". "I couldn't stop..." Brad repeated, "is this what that serum did, turn me into a monster?!". "Its ok" Luna said, trying to calm Brad as a mother calms a scared child, "I'm here". Brad looks at Luna. Luna smiles, "see, I wont let you become one". Hearing this made Brad smile, "thanks, but what was that?!". "I don't know" answered Luna, "but we will help you control it". "What do you mean about we?" Brad asked, confused. Luna moves aside to reveal Fluttershy, "Brad, this is Fluttershy". "N-nice to m-meet you" Fluttershy said, shyly. "Nice to meet you too Fluttershy" Brad responded. "Who were those people?" Luna asked. "Cyborgs, one of the main reasons why we humans are here; there is this delusioned scientist that goes by, The End. His plan is to destroy Equestria because we were forced to leave long ago". "Now what" Luna asked. "The only thing we humans can do" Brad responded, "which is to rejoin Equestria and protect it". The sun begins to rise. "Brad!" Luna said, "I have to get you to the castle". Brad looks a Luna, "no, not again". Luna laughs, "what?!...race you there". Brad looks at Fluttershy, "I guess I'll be seeing you later then". "Oh, ok then" responded Fluttershy. Luna takes off, "oh, no you don't" Brad said running after her. Military Resistance Base... "Did you see that Jake?!" Kiba yelled, "it looked like a blood red thunder storm in the middle of the Everfree Forest. "That must be Brad awakening his full power" Jake responded, "in order for the serum to work, you must establish a so-called connection with an alicorn, that's why we are placing you to be Princess Celestia's guard while Brad is Princess Luna's". "Then I'm guessing Princess Luna has found Brad" Kiba said. "It appears so" Jake responded, "he can only be connected to Princess Luna to use his power, she has to stay near him, not only for Brad's power but for their protection as well". Brad is fake?!ResistanceCanterlot Castle... Luna reached the castle to find her sister there, looking worried. "What happened" Celestia demanded, "are you alright". "I'm fine" answered Luna, "we were attacked but then a human protected us". Celestia looked back and saws a young looking human standing there, "is this the human?". "Yes, his name is Brad" Luna responded. Upon hearing the name, the human looked away. "He was also the one who caused that lightning" Luna continued. Celestia watched as the human turns his head to face the ground, "are you ok". Luna turns and faces the human, "Brad, what's wrong?". The human looks at the two princesses, "I'm terribly sorry for diceving you". Luna was confused, "what do you mean?!". The human looked at Luna, "I'm not Brad, he is my grandson". Luna watched in shock as the young man changes shape to form an old man, "my name is Vincent". "Then if you are not Brad..." Luna began. "The connection between our powers was an illusion, created by me" Vincent stated, "Brad's aura is exactly the same as yours. That what makes the connection, I only masked mine to make it seem like I'm Brad". "But why" Luna asked, "why dicieve people". "Because Brad is the only one who can face The End" Vincent answered, "he has to remain unknown until his training is finished, he is currently too weak to face him right now". "Then where is he now?" Luna asked. "He's back on the human planet, helping the rest of the survivors escape". Vincent said, "the cyborgs isn't the only reason we came here, Leon, which is 'The End' created a virus that brings back the dead. He doesn't only want to destroy Equestria, but the rest of humanity as well". Celestia was in shock from hearing this, "but why destroy his own race?!". Vincent gave a grim look, "its because we shunned him when he came up with the idea to attack Equestria, he was completely striped of his job and was thrown into a mental asylum". Luna and Celestia exchanged looks, "when will Brad and the rest of the survivors come?". Vincent looked at his watch, "if everything goes well, I'd say, noonish, in Ponyvile Square Resistance Base... Kiba was making final preparations to the helicopters when Jake came in, "they're almost ready..." he said. "Good, you sure that these are enough to carry the survivors to Equestria? I mean, eventhough almost 98% of our planet's population was wiped out by the virus...we still have 1.1 billion survivors and not to mention the unknown number of survivors Vincent's grandson, Brad might have found". "It'll be enough" Kiba responded, "we can take extra trips...these machines run on a renewable energy source, you know...the ones that the Armored Cores use". Kiba then shifted his weight, "I have two questions...why have Vincent disguise himself as Brad and why did you have me and Vincent inject ourselves with fake serum?". Jake chuckled, "Brad needs all the time he can get to be strong enough to fight Leon and the serum that I handed you was the real one...Vincent's serum was fake because it was already tested on him...Leon doesn't know that Brad was also tested with the serum earlier than exspected". Kiba was about to say something when two pilots, 6 soldiers in cybonic armorial started toward them with two organized groups of ordinary people following them. "Are the heli's ready?" asked one of the pilots. "Yes they are, now remember to wait for Princess Celestia's signal to show yourselves...she doesn't want Equestria to panic when we arrive". "Will do" said the pilot. The soldiers began leading the two groups of survivors onto the helicopters. Kiba wished Jake good luck as he got into one of the helicopters. Kiba watched as the helicopters take off and head to Equestria. "Hope this works, Brad God speed". Ponyvile... Everyone had gathered around town hall of Ponyvile. Fluttershy was very nervous on what the gathering was about. "Fluttershy, over here" came a familiar voice. Fluttershy looked and was relieved to see her friends making their way to her, "what do you think this is about?" asked Fluttershy. "I don't know, but it must be very important" Rainbow Dash replied, "because I see the Wonderbolts up there with the royal guards". "do you think a dragon is coming?" Fluttershy asked, fearfully. "I don't think so sugarcube" said Apple Jack, reassuringly, "a dragon wont cause the whole guard including the two princesses to come". the crowd fell silent. "here comes Celestia" whispered Twilight. Celestia lands next to her sister, Luna and addresses the crowd. "My dear subjects" she began, "I have called you all here to announce a very important situation, and would like if you all would remain calm". The crowd grew motionless, eager to here what Celestia has to announce. "Equestria is currently on the brink of widespread war". everyone gasped and started to panic. "a war?!". "with who?!". "I'm scared". Soon, Luna got tired of the commotion, "BE STILL!" she shouted in the canterlot voice. everyone grew quiet again. Celestia continued with what she was saying, "yes, I know, a war can happen, with humans. but there are humans that are willing to try to protect us. but they also need our help, there was an incident on their planet. so, I have agreed to house their survivors here in Equestria". after her words, Celestia signals two ponies to set off fireworks into the sky. after the fireworks had died down, two helicopters appeared and lands in the open area that was cleared for them. a few soldiers came out of them, leading two groups of people off the helis. one of them was a scientist who walked up and bowed to Luna and Celestia before speaking, "hellow, my name is Jake, I am a human scientist. I am honored to be here at this moment, but its not the only reason I'm here. we have a group of our soldiers back on our planet, looking for the last group of survivors and bring them here via a wormhole". Human Planet... Brad was looking through the rifle's scope, keeping an eye on the entrance to the wormhole generator. He has the survivors with him, all he has to do is to wait for the rest of his team to arrive before activating the portal, "come on guys, we don't have much time left". to make things worse, the survivors were starting to get impatient but said nothing. a scientist walked up to Brad and said, "I'm...I'm sorry for all this". "what do you mean?!" Brad asked, confused. "if it wasn't for me cloning myself, the human race wouldn't be in this mess" the scientist replied. "no, you had nothing to do with this, it was that Leon who caused this" Brad said. "no, no, my clone caused this!" argued the scientist, "I am Leon!". Brad was shocked when he heard that. "my clone caused this, foolish me, I tried to get rid of my negative feelings. I put them in a non-active clone, but somehow the clone became active and caused all this". Leon explained.

The AwakeningThe Everfree Forest… Luna couldn't believe how light Brad actually was, she thought that Brad will be heavier than this but yet she can still fly effortlessly. So effortlessly in fact that she didn't even realized that Brad's unconscious body had slipped and fell back onto the forest ground. Meanwhile, at Fluttershy's house… Fluttershy is preparing dinner for her animal friends, "come on now Angel" she calmly said to a bunny, "its good for you". The bunny pushes his food away. "Please, just only a little" Fluttershy asked. Then Fluttershy hears a knock on the door and gasps. She is not used to having visitors at night. "W-who is it" Fluttershy called shyly. "Fluttershy, its me, Luna" Luna answered, "I have something that is injured". Fluttershy, who loves animals, busts open the door to see what animal Luna had brought her. "Luna, where is it, I don't see it" Fluttershy asked, confused. "He is on my back" Luna answered. Luna looks back and gasps, "wh-where did he go?!". Luna looked everywhere, but could not find Brad. "Fluttershy follow me, I think he fell off back in the Everfree Forest". "No, I'm not going there even during the night" Fluttershy said, scared. "Fluttershy" Luna said calmly, "you wont be alone, I'll be there". "Oh yea, sorry I forgot" Fluttershy said. Back in the Everfree Forest… Luna leads the way with Fluttershy next to her. It wasn't long before they found Brad laying on his back with a sword piercing his cheast; a blood pool had formed around him. "WARNING, LIFE DEADLINED, SHUTTING DOWN" the female robotic voice said through the watch. "N-no…" Luna said, "we're too late". Tears formed as an unknown feeling of grief grips Luna's heart; why is she feeling this, it was like Brad was close to her yet she nearly knows him. Controlled by grief, Luna dips her head, her horn just inches away from Brad. Just then, a red bolt had sparked from Brad to Luna's horn. Luna jumps back in alarm, "what was that!". Luna looked around just as she hears something in her head, "awake, we are at full power" the voice said. "No…" another voice responded, "if I let you awake, it will be the end of life itself". Luna is frightened by the voices, they sounded just like Brad's! "Stop! That body is ours" someone shouted. A group of people appeared carrying swords. "Who are you?!" shouted Luna. Fluttershy hides behind Luna as two men came up behind them and held swords to their necks. "Hmm…" said the leader of the group, pulling his sword out of Brad, "too bad his friend, Kiba isn't here, guess these two will have to do for now". Then a navy blue aura, similar to Luna's surrounds. Brad's body, lifting him off the ground. Red lightning began covering his body. Everyone stopped and looked as Brad's body sprouts black wings. Again, Luna hears the voices in her head, "this is great! That pony had enough magic to sustain the connection between us, now we can easily kill these pathetic life forms who thought that they can kill us!". Brad's body lands on the ground feet first. "L-Luna…" Fluttershy said nervously. Brad's eyes snaps open. Two glowing yellow eyes looking at them, "Hellow cybonic freaks, now tell me, which one of you wants to die first". The group lunges at Brad, stabbing him with their swords, blood spraying everywhere. But the wounds healed themselves, Brad only smiles, "my turn". Brad throws his fist straight through one them as he slashes at another one with his blade. The two fell into a mess of blood and grease as Brad turns and looks at the rest of the group, "anyone else?". Brad's cybonic claw finally extends back over his left arm, "looks like you will have no chance now" Brad said with an evil smile. Brad the grabs the closest cyborg with his claw and crushes it's head, blood and oil sprays from the crushed skull. The rest of the group circles him. Brad glowed navy blue as he summons flames around the group. Luna watches as Brad kills the rest by burning them. Brad then turns and face the two who is still holding swords to Luna and Fluttershy's necks, "now, I advise you to let them go". The two dropped their swords and ran. They didn't go far before a cybonic claw slashed at them, ending their lives. Brad looked at Luna and saw what he had done. His eyes turned back to brown as the wings dissapeared back into his body, "I'm...I'm sorry, I couldn't stop". Luna walked up to Brad and placed a hoof on him, "I'm glad you are ok". "I couldn't stop..." Brad repeated, "is this what that serum did, turn me into a monster?!". "Its ok" Luna said, trying to calm Brad as a mother calms a scared child, "I'm here". Brad looks at Luna. Luna smiles, "see, I wont let you become one". Hearing this made Brad smile, "thanks, but what was that?!". "I don't know" answered Luna, "but we will help you control it". "What do you mean about we?" Brad asked, confused. Luna moves aside to reveal Fluttershy, "Brad, this is Fluttershy". "N-nice to m-meet you" Fluttershy said, shyly. "Nice to meet you too Fluttershy" Brad responded. "Who were those people?" Luna asked. "Cyborgs, one of the main reasons why we humans are here; there is this delusioned scientist that goes by, The End. His plan is to destroy Equestria because we were forced to leave long ago". "Now what" Luna asked. "The only thing we humans can do" Brad responded, "which is to rejoin Equestria and protect it". The sun begins to rise. "Brad!" Luna said, "I have to get you to the castle". Brad looks a Luna, "no, not again". Luna laughs, "what?!...race you there". Brad looks at Fluttershy, "I guess I'll be seeing you later then". "Oh, ok then" responded Fluttershy. Luna takes off, "oh, no you don't" Brad said running after her. Military Resistance Base... "Did you see that Jake?!" Kiba yelled, "it looked like a blood red thunder storm in the middle of the Everfree Forest. "That must be Brad awakening his full power" Jake responded, "in order for the serum to work, you must establish a so-called connection with an alicorn, that's why we are placing you to be Princess Celestia's guard while Brad is Princess Luna's". "Then I'm guessing Princess Luna has found Brad" Kiba said. "It appears so" Jake responded, "he can only be connected to Princess Luna to use his power, she has to stay near him, not only for Brad's power but for their protection as well".
Brad is fake?!ResistanceCanterlot Castle... Luna reached the castle to find her sister there, looking worried. "What happened" Celestia demanded, "are you alright". "I'm fine" answered Luna, "we were attacked but then a human protected us". Celestia looked back and saws a young looking human standing there, "is this the human?". "Yes, his name is Brad" Luna responded. Upon hearing the name, the human looked away. "He was also the one who caused that lightning" Luna continued. Celestia watched as the human turns his head to face the ground, "are you ok". Luna turns and faces the human, "Brad, what's wrong?". The human looks at the two princesses, "I'm terribly sorry for diceving you". Luna was confused, "what do you mean?!". The human looked at Luna, "I'm not Brad, he is my grandson". Luna watched in shock as the young man changes shape to form an old man, "my name is Vincent". "Then if you are not Brad..." Luna began. "The connection between our powers was an illusion, created by me" Vincent stated, "Brad's aura is exactly the same as yours. That what makes the connection, I only masked mine to make it seem like I'm Brad". "But why" Luna asked, "why dicieve people". "Because Brad is the only one who can face The End" Vincent answered, "he has to remain unknown until his training is finished, he is currently too weak to face him right now". "Then where is he now?" Luna asked. "He's back on the human planet, helping the rest of the survivors escape". Vincent said, "the cyborgs isn't the only reason we came here, Leon, which is 'The End' created a virus that brings back the dead. He doesn't only want to destroy Equestria, but the rest of humanity as well". Celestia was in shock from hearing this, "but why destroy his own race?!". Vincent gave a grim look, "its because we shunned him when he came up with the idea to attack Equestria, he was completely striped of his job and was thrown into a mental asylum". Luna and Celestia exchanged looks, "when will Brad and the rest of the survivors come?". Vincent looked at his watch, "if everything goes well, I'd say, noonish, in Ponyvile Square Resistance Base... Kiba was making final preparations to the helicopters when Jake came in, "they're almost ready..." he said. "Good, you sure that these are enough to carry the survivors to Equestria? I mean, eventhough almost 98% of our planet's population was wiped out by the virus...we still have 1.1 billion survivors and not to mention the unknown number of survivors Vincent's grandson, Brad might have found". "It'll be enough" Kiba responded, "we can take extra trips...these machines run on a renewable energy source, you know...the ones that the Armored Cores use". Kiba then shifted his weight, "I have two questions...why have Vincent disguise himself as Brad and why did you have me and Vincent inject ourselves with fake serum?". Jake chuckled, "Brad needs all the time he can get to be strong enough to fight Leon and the serum that I handed you was the real one...Vincent's serum was fake because it was already tested on him...Leon doesn't know that Brad was also tested with the serum earlier than exspected". Kiba was about to say something when two pilots, 6 soldiers in cybonic armorial started toward them with two organized groups of ordinary people following them. "Are the heli's ready?" asked one of the pilots. "Yes they are, now remember to wait for Princess Celestia's signal to show yourselves...she doesn't want Equestria to panic when we arrive". "Will do" said the pilot. The soldiers began leading the two groups of survivors onto the helicopters. Kiba wished Jake good luck as he got into one of the helicopters. Kiba watched as the helicopters take off and head to Equestria. "Hope this works, Brad God speed". Ponyvile... Everyone had gathered around town hall of Ponyvile. Fluttershy was very nervous on what the gathering was about. "Fluttershy, over here" came a familiar voice. Fluttershy looked and was relieved to see her friends making their way to her, "what do you think this is about?" asked Fluttershy. "I don't know, but it must be very important" Rainbow Dash replied, "because I see the Wonderbolts up there with the royal guards". "do you think a dragon is coming?" Fluttershy asked, fearfully. "I don't think so sugarcube" said Apple Jack, reassuringly, "a dragon wont cause the whole guard including the two princesses to come". the crowd fell silent. "here comes Celestia" whispered Twilight. Celestia lands next to her sister, Luna and addresses the crowd. "My dear subjects" she began, "I have called you all here to announce a very important situation, and would like if you all would remain calm". The crowd grew motionless, eager to here what Celestia has to announce. "Equestria is currently on the brink of widespread war". everyone gasped and started to panic. "a war?!". "with who?!". "I'm scared". Soon, Luna got tired of the commotion, "BE STILL!" she shouted in the canterlot voice. everyone grew quiet again. Celestia continued with what she was saying, "yes, I know, a war can happen, with humans. but there are humans that are willing to try to protect us. but they also need our help, there was an incident on their planet. so, I have agreed to house their survivors here in Equestria". after her words, Celestia signals two ponies to set off fireworks into the sky. after the fireworks had died down, two helicopters appeared and lands in the open area that was cleared for them. a few soldiers came out of them, leading two groups of people off the helis. one of them was a scientist who walked up and bowed to Luna and Celestia before speaking, "hellow, my name is Jake, I am a human scientist. I am honored to be here at this moment, but its not the only reason I'm here. we have a group of our soldiers back on our planet, looking for the last group of survivors and bring them here via a wormhole". Human Planet... Brad was looking through the rifle's scope, keeping an eye on the entrance to the wormhole generator. He has the survivors with him, all he has to do is to wait for the rest of his team to arrive before activating the portal, "come on guys, we don't have much time left". to make things worse, the survivors were starting to get impatient but said nothing. a scientist walked up to Brad and said, "I'm...I'm sorry for all this". "what do you mean?!" Brad asked, confused. "if it wasn't for me cloning myself, the human race wouldn't be in this mess" the scientist replied. "no, you had nothing to do with this, it was that Leon who caused this" Brad said. "no, no, my clone caused this!" argued the scientist, "I am Leon!". Brad was shocked when he heard that. "my clone caused this, foolish me, I tried to get rid of my negative feelings. I put them in a non-active clone, but somehow the clone became active and caused all this". Leon explained.
