Five days later

The year 2120 ends, and the summer of 2121 comes in. The ITPF-Equestrian conflict has dragged on for a year now, and it has gone entirely badly for the humans. Their territorial gains they've made in the first few months were lost through time.

The EFLAF had retaken Fillydelphia, and Baltimare from the humans and what's more, had crushed the MTSS 11th Army, the sister army of the 12th Army, the pride of the MTSS, and of Darren Jr. With their defeat, everyone was convinced that defeat was now inevitable and hoped that Darren Jr would see the futility of continuing the war and sue for peace.

But to everyone's shock and horror, Darren Jr said that if he can't have Equestria, then no one will, as he announced a new offensive campaign to regain the lost territories. Darren Jr's secret weapon was complete and once deployed, he believed would allow him to conquer the whole planet.

Soon, the battle that will determine the fate of all of Equestria and beyond would commence and only one faction will win this battle.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

In Canterlot

The EFLAF, now renamed to the United Equestrian Armed Forces, and the Clone Army, had gathered all the firepower and soldiers that they could gather to prepare for the main assault to liberate Manehattan and put an end to the Darren Jr regime.

Daniel Jr had told his father and the Mane 6 about Professor Felhand creating a secret weapon for Dexter Jr to use. The Mane 6 had a feeling about what it was and they prepared for it. Daniel Sr knew that the moment had arrived, the moment where the entire fate of all of Equestria and beyond would depend on who will win the final battle. If they failed, then the war could last for the next few decades and all of the native inhabitants would be in danger. If they succeeded, then they would be able to live in peace, but Daniel Sr. would probably be exiled from the ITPF forever.

Daniel then looked to his son and daughter, then to his friends. He smiled, went up to a podium facing the UEAF and the Clone Army and began to speak:

"My friends, today we embark on a final battle against the enemy. Darren Jr has deluded himself into thinking that he can take over this planet. As I speak, Darren Jr is gathering whatever forces remain fanatically loyal to him and push for a desperate offensive against us. This final battle will determine our fate and our future. We must band together and put an end to this horrible war. DEATH TO THE ENEMY INVADERS!!! FOR EQUESTRIA!!!"

"FOR EQUESTRIA!!!" The entire crowd yelled, as they prepared for the final battle.

Daniel then walked up to his son and daughter and looked at them.

"Son, you sure want to join the fight? It might be dangerous."

"Absolutely. It's my way to redeem myself. I also want to get a shot at Darren Jr, that no good son of a bitch. He lied and betrayed me," Daniel Jr said

Daniel Sr sighed and looked at Glenda

"Glenda, this is too dangerous for you to come along. I need you to stay here in Canterlot while I deal with Darren Jr."

"But daddy, I don't want to stay here, I want to be with you."

"Don't worry sweetie, I'll come back. In the meantime, just stay here." Daniel Sr said, as he hugged her and left along with his son.

Daniel soon met up with his friends.

"Well then, are y'all ready to end this?" Daniel Sr asked

"Absolutely Daniel Sr." Twilight said

"Then let's end this." Daniel said, as he and everypony else left with their armies

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

A while later

The UEAF and the CA were close to Manehattan, except what they were looking at was not the same Manehattan as they knew, but a different place.

"W-What happened?" Rarity asked

"What have they done to Manehattan?" Rainbow Dash said with anger

"That's not Manehattan anymore. That's what the human's call "Darringrad."

Everypony looked on with horror at the city that was once Manehattan. Then, Daniel Jr. said:

"Look!"

Everypony looked at where Daniel Jr. had said and were shocked. From the city entrance, hundreds of thousands of young boy's and girl's armed with weapons charged from the gate and were running straight toward them. It was the MTSS 12th Army. Everypony readied themselves and Daniel Sr gave the word:

"Charge."

The UEAF and CA soon charged toward the MTSS 12th Army. They soon collided and began a bitter battle. For the ponies, they found it difficult to harm the young child soldiers, Fluttershy especially. The child soldiers however displayed no emotions, other then the emotions of hate and distrust towards the ponies. Thus, the UEAF had no choice but to kill or disarm them.

Daniel Jr had little to no qualms about taking down the enemy. He pulled out his Darren Youth golden knife and entered into brutal hand to hand combat against the enemy. Some of the soldiers he encountered were his friends, so Jr only disarmed them and moved on. Then, a soldier came charging at him with a knife and attempted to stab him, but Jr caught the knife before he could be stabbed. He grabbed the blade of the knife, blood coming from his hand, but Jr used his pain and pushed the soldier out of his way and threw his knife at the soldier, hitting him in the heart, killing him. Jr grabbed his knife and continued the fight.

The 12th Army seemed to make some progress because the UEAF couldn't kill them due to their being young children. But then, the very thought of the same child soldiers carrying out their familie's execution enraged them and they began to fight them showing little to no mercy. Soon, the tide began to change and within a few minutes, the surviving remnants of the 12th had either retreated to the city or surrendered.

Daniel Sr then came to his friends and praised them.

"I-I don't believe it. You've defeated the MTSS 12th Army, the army that was said to be invincible. Now I wonder what will happen next?" Daniel Sr said

"Daniel, I think your son loves fighting too much." Spike said

"Why?" Daniel Sr asked

Spike simply pointed toward Jr and Sr understood why. Jr was continually stabbing a dead soldier with his knife, not even stopping for a minute. Sr went over to Jr and grabbed his hand.

"Son, he's dead, stop it."

Jr stopped and looked at his father.

"Sorry dad. I don't know what came over me. I guess my inner demon got the best of me." Jr explained

Jr got up and cleaned his knife. Then all of a sudden

"Dad, it's him."

Sr looked and saw him: Darren Jr, mastermind of the war and atrocities. He was in a 50ft tall mecha, armed with six miniguns, four rocket launchers, an ion canon, and a tesla cannon. On the mech's sides, flying in the skies, were two spaceships.

The UEAF and CA were poised to get their vengeance on Dexter Jr. But Daniel Sr stopped them, telling them "It's between me and Darren Jr." Sr began to walk toward Darren Jr, but stopped in front of him.

"So, your that desperate to take this planet?!" Daniel Sr yelled

"Desperate? I'm on the verge of triumph! You're the one who has become desperate, protecting your unter lebensformen. My weapon will destroy you!" Darren Jr said, as he lifted his mech's arms to the sky

Soon, lightning coming from the skies and the two ships came down on a blue orb that surrounded the mech.

"Ah! Like Prometheus I steal fire from the gods. The hammer of Thor is my shield. Beautiful!" Darren Jr said, as he opened fire on Daniel Sr, prompting him to get to cover.

Daniel Sr was stuck behind cover, as he couldn't get a clear shot on the mech. Then, several shots hit the shield and Darren Jr looked around to see who it was.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the renegade Daniel Jr." Darren Jr said

Daniel Jr was holding a laser gun and was glaring at Darren Jr.

"You lied and manipulated me. You forced me to join this war just so you could advance your own agenda. Family are supposed to be honest with each other and YOU BROKE THAT TRUST!!"

Daniel Jr then fired his laser gun again, but it didn't do much and he ducked for cover. Lighting began to surround the shield again.

"You attempt to weaken me. But my shield takes its power from the storm itself. I channel from Asgard and Zeus! You are at war with destiny. A hopeless endeavor. A villain will never master a knight."

Daniel Sr and Jr met up and fired their weapons above their cover. Daniel Jr noticed something.

"Father, I think the shield is being powered from the ships. If we can take them down, that should eliminate the mech shield's power supply!"

"Good work son!" Sr said, then...

"Daddy!!"

Daniel Sr looked at the direction of the voice and was horrified to see who said it.

"Glenda!!"

Daniel Sr and Jr ran out to grab Glenda. Sr had grabbed her while Jr kept his gun at the mech. Darren Jr was filled shock, confusion, and slight anger.

"What in hell is that abomination?" Darren Jr said

"How dare you! You will not disrespect my half-sister that way!" Jr yelled

Darren Jr soon released all of the rage that he had built up on upon hearing about the revelation

"HALF-SISTER!!! YOU MEAN THAT ABOMINATION IS YOUR HALF-SISTER!!?? DANIEL SR, YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!! YOU ACTUALLY MATED WITH AN UNTER LEBENSFORMEN!!?? YOU HAVE SOILED AND POLLUTED THE PURITY OF THE MEDKOS FAMILY BLOODLINE!!! YOU DON'T DESERVE THE NAME MEDKOS!!! AND AS FOR THAT ABOMINATION, HEAR ME OUT, I WILL NEVER ACCEPT YOU!!! YOU WILL NEVER BE ACCEPTED INTO THE FAMILY!!! YOU ARE A FREAK, AN ABOMINATION, A PERVERSION OF WHAT A HUMAN SHOULD BE!!! YOU DON'T DESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE!!! DIE, ALL OF YOU, DIE!!!!" Darren Jr yelled, as he aimed his tesla and ion cannon at the three.

"BYE BYE YOU BASTARDS!!!" Darren Jr yelled, as he fired the cannons and a large explosion erupted

Everypony was shocked. Daniel Sr, Jr, and Glenda were evaporated from the face of Equestria. Some began to cry for the loss of the three, when suddenly, Spike said:

"Look! They're still alive!!"

Everyone looked at the crater and were shocked. As the fog cleared up, a white and black orb was visible. It began to recede until it was gone, revealing the trio alive and unharmed. Everypony cheered in delight, while Darren Jr was shocked, confused, and horrifed

"H-H-How?! I set the cannons to full charge!! You should've been evaporated!!!"

Daniel Sr had his right hand outstretched, with his hand covered in a white and black aura. Daniel Sr began to speak

"How dare you say all those thing's? HOW DARE YOU SAY MY DAUGHTER HAS NO RIGHT TO LIVE AND BE A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY!!!"

As Daniel continued speaking, Daniel Sr was beginning to float until he was facing Darren Jr at the same height as the mech. Then, a black and white arua began to surround him, but Sr was oblivious to this as he continued to speak.

"Sure Equestria is technology backwards, but that was because of old traditions. Now everything has changed. Everypony here has been united thanks to Queen Twilight and now they have a new reason to unite: TO STOP YOUR TYRANNICAL AND GENOCIDAL PLANS!!!" Daniel Sr said

Soon, Sr closed his eye's as the aura closed around him and began to glow. Everyone were staring at the arua with amazement and curiosity. Celestia and Luna soon realised what was happening.

"Amazing. I never thought that it was actually true," Celestia said

Twilight looked at Celestia with confusion

"What do you mean by that Celestia?" Twilight asked

"A long time ago, before Luna became Nightmare Moon, a group of ponies came before us. They told us of a prophecy: 'in the far future, a creature from somewhere beyond our system will help save our planet from a great evil that would attempt to exterminate us. This creature had both a pure innocent essence and a dark, demonic essence. The creature would be able to harness both essences to become a powerful being.' I wasn't sure what they meant for a long time, until now."

Everypony looked at Celestia in shock, then looked at the orb that had surrounded Daniel Sr. Soon, the orb began to recede and Daniel Sr came into view. But he was different. His clothes had changed to show black and white, his eyes were glowing both black and white, and he had an aura that gave the ponies a sense of awe.

"Daniel Sr is the creature that the prophecy mentioned: the Emperor of Light and Dark." Celestia said

Daniel Sr looked at Darren Jr, who was slightly shaking from fear. Sr then went down to his son and daughter and spoke in a calming tone.

"Get Glenda to safety son."

"Yes dad, come on Glenda." Daniel Jr said, as he and Glenda went to safety.

Sr looked at Darren Jr with pure hatred. He lifted his right hand, charged up his magic, and fired a fireball into one of the ships, destroying it and causing it to fall from the sky. Darren Jr soon went back to his usual self and taunted Sr.

"Your cruelty is endless, Daniel Sr. Honest, hardworking people were onboard that ship. People with families. Have you no shame? A shocking display of evil!"

Daniel Sr. then spoke, but in what could only be described as a demonic tone:

"Evil? Evil?! And that's even worse compared to what you were doing to the innocent lifeform's of Equestria? Extermination of an entire species just because they don't fit your idea of perfection? If anything, you're the one who is displaying Evil."

Daniel then powered his left hand and launched another fireball at the other ship, destroying it, but Darren Jr wasn't fazed, only throwing more taunts

"Death and Destruction. Is that all you are?"

"I might as well be, if it means stopping you."

"Once I dealt with you, I will take care of that abomination. I will spare her corpse for Professor Felhand's laboratory."

Once Darren Jr said that, Sr lost it. Suddenly, he began to glow black and white, then looked at Twilight and her friends, and spoke in his soft, calming tone again.

"Twilight, it's time."

Twilight and her friends soon understood what Daniel Sr was saying. They assembled and gathered next to Daniel Sr. They summoned the most powerful version of their friendship rainbow beam, and Daniel Sr joined in, a yin yang forming at the center of the beam as it traveled down to the mech, hitting it and destroying its shield, causing the lighting to hit the mech and a blinding white flash occurred as Darren Jr screamed.

"AGH!!!"

Soon, everyone's vision returned to normal. Once their vision returned, they saw the mech was destroyed, but the cockpit was empty, meaning Darren Jr had ejected from the mech prior to the explosion. Everyone wondered where Darren Jr was, until they heard a gun being pulled out and heard Sr yell:

"Freeze!"

Everyone looked to see what Sr had yelled at and Darren Jr running towards Darringrad. Daniel Jr put a hand on Sr's shoulder and looked at him

"He ain't worth killing, father."

Sr still had his pistol pointed at Darren Jr, who hadn't stopped running.

"Freeze! Fire!!"

Sr fired his pistol and hit Darren Jr on the knee, causing him to fall onto the ground, shocking the humans: 'A Medkos shooting another Medkos?' 'That's impossible!'

Daniel Sr and Jr walked over to Darren Jr and kicked away his pistol, keeping his gun aimed at him. Daniel Jr decided to joke around at Darren Jr's expense

"Hey Darren Jr, bet when your punk ass woke up this morning, you didn't think about three pm, you gotta a bullet hole in your knee, don't ya?"

"You couldn't kill me you chicken shit, could you?"

"Oh no, you're talking like it's over now, naw that's not it. See I'm starting to get the hang of this whole marksman thing. Shooting somebody from a distance, naw that's not it. Here's where it ends, right here, up close and personal..."

"Father!" Daniel Jr said

"...That's what I'm talking about."

"Would you do it?"

"Father, step off!"

"Do it, do it! DO IT!!"

Daniel Jr pulled his father away from Darren Jr

"Father, it's over. Don't do this."

Daniel Sr paused for a few seconds. Then, he put his pistol away and and grabbed Darren Jr by the collar of his uniform.

"Darren Jr, you have lost."

Twilight and her friends went over to Daniel Sr and Jr.

"Is it over?" Fluttershy asked

"Yes, I believe so. Oh my goodness, Twilight?"

"Yes?"

"Are you aware that your friends are now alicorns?"

Twilight was surprised when she turned around and saw her friends were now alicorns. She got them in a group hug and cried tears of joy. Then...

"Look. I see another spaceship." A clone called

Everyone looked to see a spaceship landing near Darringrad. Daniel Sr looked at the ship and couldn't believe his eyes.

"No, no it couldn't be?"

"What? What's wrong?" Rarity asked

"That ship. It has the words 'Unity, Justice, Equality.' I know who owns that ship."

Soon, hundreds of MTSS soldiers came from Darringrad and had assumed the guard position as the ramp to the ship opened. Everyone waited, guessing as to what was going to happen next, with only Daniel Sr knowing what was going to happen.

Soon, a car came down from the ramp, with the soldiers holding their weapons with pride. The car soon stopped in front of Daniel Sr and Darren Jr. The door opened and someone came out. He looked like he was twenty years old, but his hair color betrayed his true age. Everypony was shocked to see who it was.

"No way, is that who I think it is?" Rainbow Dash asked

"Yes. That is Darren Medkos Sr, The Eternal President of the ITPF and her colonies, the Shining Star of Humanity." Daniel Sr said

Dexter Sr soon spoke

"There you are son. I've heard about what you've have done."

"Dad, I was simply preparing this planet for colonization, when Daniel Sr rebelled against me, just to protect the unter lebensformen that reside on our rightfully claimed lands." Darren Jr said

Darren Sr was confused about what his son was rambling on about, until he saw Glenda. He walked over to her and bent down in front of her. Everyone was waiting to see what Darren Sr was about to do. Then, to everyone's shock and Darren Jr's horror, he hugged Glenda and patted her head.

"Hello little one," Darren Sr said, making Glenda smile a little.

"Father, what the hell are you doing?!" Darren Jr shrieked, but Sr ignored him as he looked at Glenda

"You are an interesting lifeform. A mixture of human and... What are you youngling?"

"I'm a human-griffon hybrid. My griffon mother is Gilda and my human father is Daniel Medkos Sr. Who are you?"

Darren Sr smiled and put a hand on Glenda's shoulder

"Me? I'm your many greats grandfather, Darren Medkos Sr. You say that Daniel Sr is your father?"

Glenda, in shock at meeting her many greats grandfather, responded with a resounding "yes". Darren Sr looked at Daniel Sr with a smile

"She's an adorable one."

Darren Jr couldn't believe what was happening. He started to rant to his father.

"I did everything! Everything you've ever asked me to!"

"I know you did." Darren Sr responded as he turned to look at his son

"I executed your plans!"

"As you saw fit."

"You, you promised me that we would change the world, humanity, life, and the future, together! You actually broke your promise!"

"I know. I understand that now."

"I saw that humanity had advanced in so many ways. I helped you take humanity to its maximum potential. I looked up to you not just as a father, but as a living god. You and I, we've created the perfect master species!"

"Son, your mind is warped. The thing about the master species is that there is none. There was never a master species because all life are created equal. You wouldn't know that because you were so desperate to earn my approval that you were willing to go to any length to do so."

"How did you..."

"I'm sorry son. I'm sorry."

Darren Jr didn't move for a few seconds. Then, he tried to jump on his father in pure despair until Daniel Sr had knocked him out. He looked at Darren Sr.

"So, what now?"

"I believe, we have a peace treaty to sign."

Daniel Sr beamed with joy. He looked at the Mane 6 with a smile

"It's over. The war is over."

Daniel Sr looked at Darren Sr

"Let's go, we have a treaty to sign."

Soon, Daniel Sr, Darren Sr, and the Mane 6 entered into Darringrad. They arrived at the government building, where the President of the SNU was ordered to sign the peace treaty, which he obliged. Darren Sr soon signed the treaty on behalf of the ITPF. Daniel Sr and Twilight signed as representatives of Equestria, thereby ending the war.

"At last, it's over." Daniel Sr said

Author's Note

And that's that. The war is over. But the tale isn't over yet. There's still a few more chapter's left before this story reaches it's conclusion. If you found that the image I use to depict Darringrad is unsettling, then I apologise.
