A few days went by since Darren Jr had sworn that he would get Daniel back for betraying Earth, and so far, nothing happen. Life began to return to normal, with everypony going back to their usual daily activities.

Unfortunately, they were unprepared for what happened next.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
In the city of Manehatten, life was just as it was before the Unicornian occupation. Everypony trying to get to where they were going to. Taxi's picking up ponies. Life was busy.

One day, a young unicorn was busy looking over the store. Her name was Miss Pommel. She is a friend of Rarity and she had been through so many events in her life. She lived a moderate life during the Unicornian occupation of Manehattan, and had dreamed of the day when freedom would come.

A few weeks ago, she was made the official manager of the store that was a part of Rarity's Carousel Boutique storefront, called Rarity for You. She was just preparing to open the store when she suddenly heard a group of ponies talking about something.

"What in Equestria are they talking about?" Miss Pommel said

She couldn't hear what they were saying, but she noticed that they were pointing at something, so she went outside and she saw something that surprised her.

In the sky was a machine that looked like a smaller version of the Olympia Minsk. Pommel couldn't understand why it was there, but she was about to find out the answer.

The ship suddenly begun to fire bullets at the crowd that gathered. Ponies began to flee for their lives. Pommel ran to a corner with a second to spare, as a bullet grazed her mane.

"What's going on here?!" yelled Pommel

For about a minute or two, all that Pommel could hear were the bullets being fired and ponies screaming. She couldn't handel it.

Then, it all went quiet. Pommel poked her head out of cover and saw that the ship was gone, then a smaller ship landed and a ramp came down. Pommel looked to see humans coming out from the ship wearing black uniforms and holding weapons.

She made a break for it and managed to make it to an abandoned warehouse. She then looked out the window and she saw the humans on top of City Hall and tearing down the flag of Equestria and throwing it out. They then tied the rope to a different flag and raised it.

Pommel could get a good look at the flag, the flag bearing a planet similar looking to Equestria and in the middle of the planet was a big red star. She then saw the humans gathering around and singing a song:

"Earth, Earth, above all else"
"Above all else in the Universe,"
"When, for protection and defense,"
"Earth always stands together,"
"From the North to the South,"
"From the East to the West,"

"Earth, Earth, above all else
"We will always be superior to all other forms of life,"
"When our world was covered in darkness,"
"Darren Sr came and he brighten our world,"
"When a world is covered in darkness,"
"Darren Jr will come and he'll brighten the world,"
"Earth, oh Red Earth,"
"We will always be superior to other forms of life,"
Earth, oh Red Earth,"
"We will always be superior to other forms of life,"

Pommel then heard something

"Greeting citizens of this city. This is MTSS-Obergruppenführer and General of the Waffen-MTSS Hermann Gospel of the MTSS 51st Infantry divison. In the name of the Acting President of the ITPF, I hereby proclaim this city as ITPF territory," Hermann said

Pommel then watched a ship carrying something, then dropping it, revealing it to be a statue of a human. She decided to wait until nightfall to flee from Manehattan. She decided to head to Ponyville to flee from the invaders and find her friend Rarity.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

Night soon arrived and Pommel woke up seeing that the coast was clear, left the warehouse and then began her journey to Ponyville. She had to stop and hide a few times whenever the humans came around. She finally made it out of the city and catched the express to Ponyville.

Along the way, Pommel looked around the coach and saw other ponies who had evacuated the city. She begin to wonder what was going to happen next. She decided to sleep for the rest of the journey.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

A few hours earlier, in Canterlot

Twilight was talking with her friends about what they should do when Daniel came into the room. He had a look of concern on his face

"Well howdy there Daniel, how's it going there partner?" asked Applejack

"I haven't heard anything from Manehattan for a while. It's gone quiet and I don't like it," Daniel said

"Come to think of it, I haven't received a letter from Pommel for a while, I hope she's ok," Rarity said

"Well, we can only wait and see what happens next," Rainbow Dash said

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

A few hours later, Daniel was in one of the Guest rooms in the castle. He was playing sadoku when he heard a knock at the door

"Come in," Daniel said

The door opened and revealed that it was one of the advisors of the castle

"Can I help you?" Daniel asked

"A train arrived a few minutes earlier sir," the advisor said

Daniel looked surprised

"Really? There wasn't supposed to be a train here for another hour," Daniel said

"There's more sir. Some of the passengers were covered in blood and wounds," the advisor said

Daniel got even more confused and grew concerned. He then asked the advisor a question

"And where are the passengers from?" Daniel asked

"From Manehattan, I think," the advisor said

Daniel suddenly grew pale.

"But that's not all sir, one of the passenger's has made a request to meet with Miss Rarity," the advisor said

"What's the passenger's name?" Daniel asked

"I think the name was Miss Pommel," the advisor said

Daniel remembered about Rarity wondering what had happened to Pommel. He thought Miss Pommel could help

"Bring Miss Pommel to the throne room. I'll inform everypony else," Daniel said

The advisor nods his head and leaves. Daniel looks out the window and sighs.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

A few minutes later and everypony was in the throne room. Daniel was with the Mane Six when the double doors opened and Miss Pommel came into the room.

"Miss Pommel, I'm glad you could join us," Daniel said

"Oh my word, what happened to you Pommel?" Rarity asked Pommel

"It was awful, there were so many screams, and I...I..." Pommel was clearly upset

Daniel came up to Pommel and put his hand on Pommel

"Calm down Miss Pommel. Just take a few deep breaths and tell us what happened," Daniel said

Pommel took a few deep breaths and told everypony about what had happened. Everypony was shocked.

"That son of a bitch! I knew something bad was going to happen, but to attack a city full of unarmed civilians is a crime. Darren Jr has made a fatal mistake,"

Then all of a sudden, a guard came into the throne room.

"Your Majesty, its a catastrophe," the guard said

"What's wrong soldier?" Flash asked

"There have several trains arriving for the past few hours, from Vanhoover to Baltimare, and the citizens from those places all report that the cities there were attacked," the guard said

Everypony gasped in shock and horror. Daniel only looked out the window in anger. He then said:

"Damn it. I was hoping this day would never come. I think I might have a way to stop the enemy from reaching Canterlot," Daniel said

"And what would that be?" Twilight asked

"Follow me," Daniel said

Everypony followd Daniel to the outside. When they are arrived, they were surprised and shocked to see hundreds of thousands of humans that looked similar to Daniel.

"Everypony, meet my own clone army. You see, I have built a cloning facility under my house that has been producing clones for three years, just in case something awful like this would happen. So far, there are three million clones right now ready for deployment," Daniel said

Everypony looked very hopeful.

Daniel then looked to the horizon, and said:

"You made a mistake attacking my friends, Darren Jr. Soon, your going to see what happens when you mess with Equestria," Daniel said
