It had been several weeks since the signal was sent and there hadn't been any sort of communication happening between Central Command and the Olympia Minsk. Daniel found it relieving, as he believed that Central Command had given up any hope of finding him, so he returned to his daily life.

One day, Daniel decided to go see how his business was doing. A year earlier, he had opened up a pharmaceutical to sell his products. His first customers were the Mane Six, minus Twilight, who brought several medications, including one that would, theoretically, extend the lifespan of anypony.

Daniel's business was called "Daniel Red Pharmaceutical." It was a successful business, with prices ranging from five to eight bits, ponies called the place a wonderful place to get your medication. The local hospital in Ponyville was a daily customer of DRP, as pony's called it, in getting medication for its patient's. Daniel was well on his way to becoming rich.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

One day, Daniel was at home, writing up the last chapter of "The life of Twilight Sparkle: a journey," when he heard Glenda

"Dad?" said Glenda

Daniel put the pen down and walked into the room where Glenda was. He saw Glenda had a look of distress. He sat down next to Glenda and talked with her.

"Glenda, what's wrong?" asked Daniel

"I had a nightmare, it was so horrifying, that I couldn't get to sleep last night," said Glenda

"What was the nightmare about?" asked Daniel

Glenda went on to tell Daniel about the nightmare she had, in which she had seen a field of fire, with massive craters. In the field was Daniel, covered in blood, wearing his bionic suit, facing against a huge mech armed with rockets and gattling guns. Piloting the mech, was a man at an advanced age, (but not looking like a day over fifty), with gray hair, and with a grin on his face. That was when the nightmare ended. Daniel was disturbed by what Glenda told him. He asked her if she would like to hang out with the CMC 2.0. She said yes and she went to hang out with them.

Daniel then sat down on the desk and went into deep thinking. Glenda could've possible seen the future conflict between Equestria and the ITPF. And he already had a good idea about who was in the mech.

"I got a bad feeling about this," said Daniel, in a grim tone

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---
Later that night

Daniel was sitting at the table, eating several glazed donuts and drinking coffee. He was in a depressed state. Then he heard the door knock

"Who's there?" asked Daniel

"Its me, Button Mash," said the voice

"Oh, come in," said Daniel

Button Mash opened the door and entered into the house. He was surprised to see Daniel in a depressed state. He took a seat next to Daniel.

"Are you okay Daniel? You look so depressed," said Button Mash

"I don't know anymore Button," said Daniel, as he took a sip of coffee.

"Well, you don't look ok. You haven't left the house all day," said Button Mash

"Its about what Glenda told me earlier this morning. By the way, where is Glenda?" asked Daniel

"She's at my house with Sweetie Bell," said Button Mash

"I see. How are you and Sweetie Bell doing by the way?" asked Daniel

"She is happy. She still loves me. She even got into playing video games, which by the way, I can't thank you enough for bringing in new consoles and games for me to play," said Button Mash

"Its no problem. I just love seeing the youth having fun. Button, can I ask you a question?" asked Daniel

"Sure, what is it?" asked Button Mash

"Where were you during the Unicornian occupation?" asked Daniel

Button Mash thought for a few seconds, then looked at Daniel and said:

"I was hiding, in the Everfree forest," said Button Mash

Daniel spit his coffee out and looked at Button Mash

"You were hiding in the Everfree forest during the occupation?!" asked Daniel

"Yeah, I was. I went there when I couldn't find my mother, so for the next few years, I was hiding, gathering resources, getting stronger each day. I would carry sabotage on Unicornia. However, somepony kept me motivated to go on," said Button Mash

"Let me guess, Sweetie Bell," said Daniel

Button Mash nodded his head and continued on

"When I first saw Sweetie Bell, I felt something weird in my heart. It wasn't until I found out that Sweetie Bell was in a concentration camp that I realise that I was in love with her. When I saw Sweetie Bell after she was rescued, I rushed up to her and hugged her. After that, we dated for a while, then one night, I proposed to Sweetie Bell, she said yes, and we got married a few weeks later. We've been happy ever since," said Button Mash

"Wow, I take it the same thing happened to Featherweight and Rumble?" asked Daniel

"Yeah. We worked together in opposing the Unicornian occupation," said Button Mash

"By the way, what did happen to your mother?" asked Daniel

"Well, turns out, she went into hiding in the Griffon Kingdom for a while. We reunited after the occupation is over. She's still alive and is currently living in a retirement home," said Button Mash

"Hmm," said Daniel

"Daniel, why do you do hate your great to the ninth power granduncle?" asked Button Mash

Daniel sighed and looked at Button Mash

"I don't hate him. I hate what he's doing. He thinks that what he's doing is helping humanity. I call that bullshit," said Daniel

"Isn't he technically in charge of the ITPF?" asked Button Mash

"Well, he is. The Council of the League of Titoist Parties of the World is de jure in charge of Earth as well as the President, but the President has the majority in executive power," said Daniel

"Oh," said Button Mash

"As such, the CLTPW doesn't have that much power. I'm just hoping Darren Jr will never find out about Equestria," said Daniel

"Well, I have to get back home. See you later Daniel, and I'll keep Glenda safe," said Button Mash, as he left the house

Daniel was left alone. He continued thinking about the future and about the conversation he had with Button Mash. He looked out the window as it began to rain

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

A few days later, Daniel woke up and stretch himself to get ready for the day. He then decided to head to Canterlot to see how Twilight and Flash were doing. So, after grabbing everything he needed, he locked the door and went to Canterlot.

Along the way, he began to see that Canterlot was beautiful, considering that the only time he had been here was after he had recovered. Soon he made it to Canterlot Castle, and after being inspected, the guards let him through.

He arrived at the throne room, where Twilight and Flash were looking out the window when they turned around and saw Daniel

"Daniel, what a surprise. What are you doing here?" asked Flash Sentry

"I just came here to say hello and to see how the two of you are. By the way, what's wrong with Twilight?" askes Daniel, as he noticed Twilight was looking out the window

"I don't know, she's been like this since yesterday, and she's looking at the sky for no reason," said Flash Sentry

"Hmm, maybe I should take a look at the sky, maybe I can find out what's going on," said Daniel, as he pressed a button on his suit, a pair of binoculars appeared out of nowhere and he looked up at the sky and zoomed the binoculars into space.

Daniel suddenly dropped the binoculars and his face went extremely pale. Twilight then stopped looking at the window and she and Flash went over to Daniel

"Daniel, what's wrong? What did you see?" asked Twilight

"They're here. They're actually here," said Daniel in a grim voice

"Who? Who's here?" asked Flash

Daniel then grabbed the binoculars and pressed a button on them and a video screen appeared. A few seconds later, a picture comes up on the screen, and what Twilight and Flash would see shocked them.

The picture showed a ship half the size of the Olympia Minsk, surrounded by smaller ships in space, above Equestria's atmosphere. Daniel then looked at Twilight

"Twilight, send a message to everypony in Canterlot and Ponyville to immediately hide under the Castle, quickly," said Daniel, as he raced out of the Castle to head to the Olympia Minsk, thinking in his head along the way

"So he found out huh. This is going to be interesting," said Daniel
