The train pulled into the Crystal Empire's train station around midnight, where a workforce of utility protectrons to reload the train for its next shipment of titanium before the train would pull into another section of the station, as the doors to the train opened a stallion in a black cloak sneaked around the protectrons who where loading the train and slowly made his way around the Empire towards the castle.

The stallion pulled out a small green amulet from a pocket on his cloak, and slipped it onto his hoof causing him to vanish from sight, he was still there but nopony could see him as he snuck into the castle and past the guards and assaultrons walking the halls.

Nopony noticed when the throne room doors opened and slowly closed themselves, and nopony noticed a stallion appear from thin air and he pulled out a six shot .45 revolver, taking aim at the thing sleeping in the throne he let off six shots, each hitting its chest.

I woke up to the sound of a gun going off, only to notice my armor had been dented and that there was a cloaked stallion holding a smoking revolver, he seemed to think I was dead and I used that to my advantage, quietly walking behind him, before picking him up. "Next time you try to kill someone, make sure your bullets get through their armor and make sure there dead you fucking moron." I said with a slightly psychotic cheery tone in my voice that would have sent a shiver down the Jokers spine.

I ripped off his cloak to reveal Blueblood, oh wow this fuckwit tried to kill me, in a castle FILLED TO THE BRIM with guards and combat robots,t he look of fear on his face as I pulled out my ten mm pistol and put it under his chin. "Well, I spared you in the duel, you ain't gettin that luxury again, have a nice vacation in hell you worthless bastard."

He flailed trying to bite ,hit, kick, anything to stop be from shooting him, even begged for his life, it was for nothing as I pulled the trigger and splattered his brains across the castles floor. "I'd call it a dignified death, not really it was actually quite pathetic hahahaha!" I took a look at my pipboy to see the time was exactly 12:25 Am, he must have snuck onto the train otherwise he would've been spotted the second he tried to enter the Empire.

Looking at my mechanist chest armor I saw six large dents in the metal, it's a good thing I had this thing reinforced with combat armor and made the armor a little thicker using titanium, otherwise I'd have to see if I could respawn. I sighed, once I woke up I wasn't able to fall back to sleep, and took something out of my inventory I thought would have no use here, a giddyup buttercup.

For those who don't know what a giddyup buttercup is, it's a little yellow robot pony that can run around and make horse sounds, it was a pre war toy for little girls and you can find them in some places around the Boston commonwealth, I had ten of these things and for roleplay reasons I had them set into the school parts of my settlements, but maybe I could give these to Equestria and let them create their own versions of it since there golems where pathetic,even one of my eyebots could kill one of there golems, just heat the runes keeping it powered and moving and blam its dead and useless.

Taking another look at my inventory I saw two weapons I never really used, the alien blaster and Hub's alien blaster, along with four hundred alien power cells for the thing. "Hmm...should I give one of these to Equestria? no doubt they will make a version to use magic as ammo but should I influence this worlds technological process? I mean, I did it for the Empire cause its mine and they've been gone for over a thousand years...fuck it." I took out the blueprints to build a giddyup buttercup that I got from a goul toymaker and the default alien blaster and ten cells of ammo for it, and an institute laser rifle before putting it into a box along with the giddyup buttercup with the plans to build it taped to its back.

The alien blaster was complete crap in my opinion, its weak and the beam is not like a normal laser weapon, it takes time for it to reach the target and even then it had weak damage, sure others loved it and I did like the way it looked, but it was just impractical for me to use it as a main weapon or even a backup weapon, so off to Equestria it goes for them to have a somewhat decent energy weapon, not near as good as mine are but you get the point, next time I went to Equestria I'd stop by the castle and give this to Celestia.

Looking at the time I saw it was around six thirty, damn I need to stop getting lost in thought, walking to the kitchen I made a cup of coffee and grabbed a bagel before going back to the throne room and sitting down, maybe I would invite Celestia for tea or something,other than the weapon developments it was getting boring around here.

Speaking of weapon developments my research ponies have made a gamma rifle, like the gamma gun but it used the energy crystals as ammo and it looked like a military grade weapon, and I'm sure nothing on this planet has any resistance to radiation so it will be a great weapon to use against dragons since I'm not sure if the plasma weapons on the wall would be effective against them since they swim in lava for fucks sake. Checking the time it was 7:30 am, time to wait for morning court.

Filthy Rich looked at his sales report, seeing Colta Cola had not been sold at all the past week he tilted his head and thought about that robot selling Nuka Cola, maybe he could get that thing to sell him some and then he could sell it at twice the price!

Filthy walked over to the stand the robot was selling at, it seemingly had an endless supply so it shouldn't be too hard to get it to give him some to sell. "Hello I am Filthy Rich owner of Barnyard Bargains, and I would like to make a deal with you to sell Nuka Cola in my store."

The Nukatron turned looked at Filthy. "Negative, Nuka Cola is a product of the Crystal Empire, it is not for sale in stores in Equestria."

Rich looked a bit miffed, nopony aside from that Lorenzo guy had told him no to a deal, it was his special talents making deals to make money after all. "Oh come on, surely there is some way we can come to an agreement? After all if Nuka Cola is sold in my store its sure to make you more money." This was it, nopony ever said no to more money.

"Negative, if you continue to pester this unit will defend itself violently." Despite its synthetic voice it was clearly a threat, Rich glared at the robot and walked off.

The creator and CEO of Colta Cola was NOT happy, in Ponyville sales of Colta Cola had completely dropped, what could be causing this? Cola Colt thought for a minute before he got a letter, it had said that shipments of Colta Cola where no longer needed in Ponyville due to sales of a new soda, called Nuka Cola, he glared at the letter before sending ten more crates of it to Ponyville, he would not lose anymore bits then he already has, he will sell his product where ever the hell he wanted to!

"Well, Nuka Cola, you've made your first and last mistake." Cola Colt turned to two ponies in trench coats with revolvers hidden under their coats. "Gentlecolts, I want you to 'convince' that fellow selling Nuka Cola in Ponyville to move his sales elsewhere." The two goons nodded and trotted off.

The CEO of Colta Cola and the factory that made it was in Canterlot,the two goons took the train to Ponyville, when they got there they saw a lone nukatron advertising Nuka Cola, they calmly walked up to him.

"Alright here is the deal pal ,our boss wants you to stop selling this trash on his terf, aka all of Equestria, so pack up and move elsewhere or we'll be forced to break your face." They pulled out their revolvers.

The nukatron aimed his arms at them. "Hostile detected." Much to the goons surprise it shot lasers out of its arms at them hitting there revolvers causing them to heat up making them useless, and disarming them. "Further hostile actions will lead to death." Its voice emotionless as it was programmed to be,the goons wisely fled.

Sitting on a throne and listening to nobles who actually CARE about the common pony was nice, this one had just asked for me to restore an old park that had fallen into disrepair with Umbra ruling, I agreed and he was sent on his way.

An Equestrian mailpony walked in and hoofed me a letter, as per normal I fed him a carrot and opened the letter while he waited in case I wanted to send a reply.

It hath come to mine attention that thou hast not returned the Crystal Empire to our niece Cadence, we demand thou return it to her post haste, or else, while Celestia is happy to sit by and let thou rule we shalt not put up with something telling our niece she is not entitled to her RIGHT as the ruler of the Crystal Empire, reply post haste -Princess Luna.

I sighed, this was the TENTH FUCKING TIME THIS WEEK SHE SENT THE EXACT SAME LETTER! I was DONE with this shit, and wrote a letter for Celestia and luna and the pink bitch to come visit, maybe once they realize WHY I can't give them the Empire they would fuck off.

Handing the letter to the mailpony and giving him a carrot for the road he smiled and flew off. I grinned watching him leave, I had given him some Nuka Cola cherry to drink on his way back after he ate the carrot. It was about three hours later that there was a large flash and Celestia, Luna, and the pink bitch teleported into the throne room with a bright flash of yellow light.

"Thank you for inviting us King Lorenzo, but I must ask, whatever for?" Celestia tilted her head as Luna and Cadence glared at me.

I nodded to her, she was the only princess I respected. "Because I have some technology to give you and because your sister Luna will not stop sending this exact same letter, I've gotten ten of the same letter within the past three days." I handed her the letter Luna kept sending me.

As Celestia read her smile slowly turned into a frown. "So you invited us here to explain why Cadence couldn't have the Empire? because I am fine with you ruling it."

I nodded again. "Yes, but also because I have some tech to give you, and for you to share with others if you want to."

I walked over to a window and looked at the crystal ponies and changelings going about their day, happy and carefree, and had the others walk over and observe this with me. "You see this? Those ponies, and changelings, are able to go about their day carefree aside from minor worries like what to make for dinner or lunch today, they don't have to worry about being violently taken over and turned into slaves and forced to mine deep beneath the grounds, or having to worry about dying of hunger from lack of love, or worrying about their foals and nymphs waking up tomorrow without a parent to care for them, I have created a great thing for them." I walked back over and plopped down on my throne, giving them a flat look while I spoke again.

I cracked my neck before speaking again. "This is why I can't give you the Empire, or rather why doing so would be pointless. I saved the Empire alone and essentially brought them into a golden age, I allowed the changelings which you all kill on sight into my Empire, the Empire is still relatively fresh out of banishment, and you wouldn't be able to take it anyway without taking very big risks on your forces and the 96,000 number of civilians that can't be evacuated, and yes I'm counting the changelings into that number."

Turning around I sat on the throne again. "On the topic of Cadence. Even if she truly is the rightful heir to the throne, no one will follow her, she won't have their loyalty. Where was she when the Empire was banished? Why was an unknown creature with unknown motives and capabilities the one to free them? They don't know nor do they care, all the Empire knows is the one they needed most was never there for them. The first thing she did upon arrival was try to kill a changeling, one of MY people, and demand I give her the throne. Even if I did she wouldn't have the throne for long. Who is everyone more likely to follow, their savior and avenger who didn't exactly want the throne, but accepted it anyway and as I said brought them into a golden age, or the princess of ANOTHER KINGDOM who they probably never knew about until the so called 'rightful heir' attacked them? If I did give her the throne the Empire would have done one of two things: come with me or rebel if not out of loyalty then for their changeling friends lives and either she would be ruling an Empire with the population of a small village or I would be back on the throne within the month." Celestia watched as Luna's and Cadence's jaws dropped, and in a very cartoonish fashion as they hit the floor.

"How do you think other kingdoms would see this? Taking over an empire shortly after it's discovery and return, or how about other changeling hives? She would ruling an empty Empire or it's citizens would rebel and if she escaped the likely regicide you would have a civil war that YOU started with yours truly back on the throne and due to the circumstances of the situation which I would make certain the rest of the world knew about, you would have little to no backup of any kind." To make this clear, I was talking to Cadence and Luna, Celestia was only invited due to me having tech to share with Equestria.

I was laughing on the inside at there faces. "There is no version of this where Equestria comes out on and stays on top, if I did give her the Empire we would be back to square one in a month and you wouldn't be able to do anything without making yourselves look like power hungry tyrants further damaging your would be strained relations with the other kingdoms. One way or another I always win, for even when I lose I make sure they don't get to enjoy it, and while I may seem like a complete and utter dick saying this as bluntly as I have, it should convince you why Cadence can't rule here, and why you should stop with the subtle threats."

Celestia snickered at Luna's and Cadence's faces, there jaws were dropped to the floor and there ears where flopped back, they looked as if someone told them santahooves wasn't real.

Luna stood up and looked at Cadence. "We art done here, let us go niece, where we are wanted." Luna's horn lit up white and her and the pink bitch teleported away, leaving only me and Celestia.

"That was a well thought out speech Lorenzo, I am sorry for the trouble Luna has caused you as I should have told her why I was fine with you ruling the Empire."

I shrugged. "It was clear it would not stop till I did something, but aside from this I have some things for you to take back with you when you go." I handed her a box with two giddyup buttercup robotic ponies in it, and the alien blaster with ten cells of ammo for it, along with a institute laser rifle with four cells of ammo for it.

Celestia looked surprised at this. "I thought you said you wouldn't be sharing technology like this?"

"Well, those robotic horses where toys for little children, and that blaster and the laser rifle will allow you to develop your own energy weapons and robots, because let's be honest here,your golems are just pathetic."

"Well thank you Lorenzo, but speaking of technology Equestria has recently developed an automatic carriage, called a Model-T, its powered by a block of gem that acts as the power source." Celestia showed me a few pictures of the Model-T and much to my surprise it looked like the Model-T from my world, aside from not having any crank on the front to start the engine.

I chuckled. "Impressive Celestia, would you mind sending over two models of each one since I gave you that box of goodies?"

Celestia smiled. "I see no problem with that, I was going to share the plans to make them with every kingdom anyway since this can better everyone, but I must be off now, day court will only wait so long before Im needed again." Celestia teleported off.
