Four days later

Darren Jr learned of Daniel Jr taking troops and launching an offensive against Ponyville without his authorisation. When he learned of the failure, he was outraged and denounced his own great to the 10th power grandnephew. The loss of the three divisions had reduced even more manpower and as a result, he took control of military matters.

The news of Daniel Jr. had hit the war effort hard. Now the calls for a peace treaty had increased and Darren Jr. was having trouble trying to build more support for the war effort. He would have to get his hands dirty.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

Daniel Jr's vision was at first blurry. He could see a fuzzy purple and orange blob, and he hearing ringing. Soon, his hearing began to get better and he could hear beeping, which tells him that he's in a hospital. He remembered fighting Twilight, getting his torso slashed by a creature, then passing out.

His vision cleared and the sight that greeted him made him scowl. He tried to move but he felt heavier. Soon Twilight spoke:

"Try not to move much, you're still recovering from your injuries." Twilight said

Daniel Jr looked down at himself and saw the scars on his torso. He laughed bitterly and looked at Twilight and Flash.

"So this is it huh? Trapped in hospital by unter lebensformen and I never got to avenge my father's death." He said

"What makes you believe your father's dead?" Flash asked

"After my father disappeared three years ago, ma took it hard. A year later, she died and I'm left orphaned. I was taken in by a relative. Two years later, I asked my great to the 10th power granduncle about what had happened with my father. He said that you killed him. That's why I came here, so I can get some closure." Daniel Jr explained

Twilight and Flash looked at each other with sadness and looked back at Daniel Jr.

"Can you honestly believe your great to the 10th power granduncle?" Flash asked

"Of course! Darren Jr is an honest man, he'd never lie to anyone." Daniel Jr responded.

"Then I guess you were wrong." Said a voice, as the door opened and a man come inside the room, shocking Daniel Jr.

"I'm not dead."

"D-D-Dad?" Daniel Jr. said

Daniel Sr. smiled

"Yeah, it's me son."

Daniel couldn't believe his eye's. His father, whom he was told was dead, was standing in front of him. He couldn't hold the floodgates back and he cried, while his father hugged him, comforting him.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

A week later

Daniel Jr. was discharged from the hospital after having been given the all clear. He walked with his father all the way to Ponyville and entered his house.

"So this is where you live now?" Daniel Jr. askes

"Yeah, and I love living here." Daniel Sr. said

Jr looked to Sr

"Dad, do you ever miss Earth. I mean you've been here for three years."

"Well yeah, I miss Earth. But Equestria is my new home. Hey son, how have you been doing so far?"

"Well, after you disappeared and ma died, I've been living alright I guess. I got a girlfriend and she's a month pregnant."

Sr looked surprise

"Really? Congratulations, you'll make a good father. Jr, remember when you wanted a younger sibling?"

"Oh yeah, I remember. I kept nagging you and ma about it. Why'd ya ask?"

Before Sr could explain, the door opened and Glenda came inside

"Daddy, there you are, I was scared that you were hurt, and I..." Glenda paused, as she sees a young human next to her father. Jr looked at Sr

"Dad, what's that?"

"Daniel, this is Glenda, the first human-griffon hybrid and your little sibling."

"....Get the fuck out of here!" Jr said in surprise

"Son! Language!" Sr said

"Sorry dad, its just, how?"

"Son, remember what I said about your many greats grandfather being a genetically modified human?"

"Oh yeah, now I remember, sorry, I forgot. Why a griffon though? Why not a pony?"

"Because I wanted to see a griffon when I first came here and I ended up mating a griffon and Glenda came into the world. I tell you, she became an instant celebrity when all of Equestria found out about her. But there are some who ridicule her. Well, go say hello to her." Sr said

Jr got up and walked over to Glenda. He bent down and looked at her.

"H-Hello Glenda. I'm Daniel Jr, your half brother, I guess."

Glenda suddenly hugged Jr

"Hi big brother, I can't believe I finally get to meet you. Daddy has talked so much about you, that I came to see you in a bright light." Glenda said

Jr smiled. He loved Glenda and he was happy that he finally got to meet her. He looked at Sr and asked him:

"Who's the mother?" Jr asked

Then, Gilda, who was in her anthro form, came inside, seeing Jr being hugged by Glenda. At first she seemed panicked, but a smile on Sr's face tells her that Jr is now friendly. Jr looked up toward Gilda and remembered something:

"Wait a minute, aren't you the griffon who slashed my chest?"

Gilda blushed in embarrassment and nodded. Jr smiled

"Nah it's okay. I forgive you."

Gilda smiled. She then walked up to Sr and she kissed him.

"How are you dear?"

"I'm fine Gilda, I'm fine." Sr said

Jr was surprised.

"Wait, your Glenda's mother?"

"Yes, I sure am." Gilda responded

"She'll also be the next Queen of the Griffon Kingdom. She's the descendent of the first king of the Griffon Kingdom, which makes Glenda a princess and heir to the throne."

"Oh wow, that's cool, I guess?" Jr said

"And there's something else about us that, I'm not sure how your going to handle."

"Dad, I was told that you were dead, and yet, here you are. So whatever it is that you have to tell me, I can handle it."

"Well okay, here it goes: once the war is over, me and Gilda are going to get married, which means, by law, I would become the King Consort of the Griffon Kingdom."

Jr stood there in silence. After about a minute, he responds:

"Ehh, I'm sure it doesn't matter. Besides dad, I want you to be happy, so I'm okay with having Gilda as a mother."

Gilda and Daniel Sr smiled as they hugged each other. They felt comfortable knowing that Daniel Jr was going to be happy with his new family. Daniel Sr however felt that soon, the final battle would be upon him, and that the entire fate of Equestria will depend on the outcome of the battle.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

Near a huge ringed planet

A huge armada of ships are flying across space toward Pluto. On the bridge of the lead ship, a man is standing there with his cane. A young officer came up to him.

"We'll be approaching the planet in the other galaxy in six days maximum sir."

"Good."
