*Shuddering breaths* "Okay, lunch time!" Novice Knight's shackles opened, and he dropped to the floor. That whipping he just got left him dripping blood everywhere. He was in a stone cell, soundproofed so the screams couldn't be heard outside the cell. The door swung open, and after a minute of groaning, he got up, and limped out. He went down a dark-grey stone hall, and into the dark-grey cafeteria. While normal prison cafeteria's would have guards, this prison didn't give a shit. As he walked, everybody's tails were swishing side to side. 'Being the only stallion sucks.' He thought. And the fact he walked on his hind legs didn't help either. 'Apparently being chained upright to a wall makes you bipedal.' Well, she did help. He sat down at a table with his only friend. The only mare who didn't want to fuck his brains out. She's as infertile as him. She doesn't remember her name, so he calls her Cob, 'Because she has no ears!' he remembered saying when he first met her. After 10 minutes of talking, he saw a shadow walk up behind him. He studied the shadow, and watched as it turned around and leaned forwards. 'AAANNNdddd.... NOW!' his mind yelled at him as he rolled off the bench to dodge the incoming buck, which missed, causing the mare to stumble backwards. He kicked her in the chest, then slammed his elbow into her head, causing her to break her jaw on the floor. She was out cold. When the doctors came in, everybody finished eating as if nothing happened and eventually made their ways back to their cells.

*That Night*

His cell door unlocked and closed again. He knocked on the wall behind his shackles 3 times, and whoever it was knocked 6 times on the wall. He smiled, she was here! The figure stepped out of the shadows to reveal Captain Tempest of the Royal Guard. "Hello, Novice. I have excellent news! I've convinced the queen of a race called 'Changelings' to invade Canterlot!" This was very good news. "Tomorrow, they will attack during the wedding. The queen knows she will lose, but I've donated a ton of enchanted crystals for her to use. For her, humiliating Celestia is all the reward she needs. I'll be there with you." And with that she left. He banished his smile as soon as she left. He couldn't look happy. That would ruin the plan.

*That Morning*

Due to the wedding, the prisoners have no schedule to do, so they just stay in their cells. Tempest walks in, and unshackles him. He hugs and kisses her. "Finally! Now, we can escape!" Tempest looks down. "No..." He doesn't believe her.

"Yes. I'm sorry I will distract them while you escape." She says, her eyes filling with tears. "But, I'm giving you this." She holds up her old training sword in her mouth. It has been sharpened, but it still holds its' value. He takes it, and they run, (Unlocking the other cells and their occupants, of course, while yelling at them to escape.) encountering multiple bug-pony creatures. They simply nod in their direction and resume what they were doing. Before we get there.....

"YOU!!!" 'Oh shit.' "I WILL SEND YOU TO TARTARUS!!!!!" 'Seriously? Well, shit. I really don't need Celestia on my ass right now.' He dives out of the way as she fires a bolt at him. After some more dodging, she is surrounded by Changelings and they fuck off before he gets hit. After they escape Canterlot, they end up in Ponyville.

"KEEP RUNNING!!!" He yelled, being chased by 6 mares, Rainbow Dash catching up. Once she was nice n' close, he threw his foreleg up, smashing her in her face, while starting to run on his hindlegs. Rainbow was sent careening into the others, taking them all out. He kept running, through the town, fighting guards, but as he reached the treeline, the ground in front of him was hit by a magic attack, sending him flying back. He got up and turned to find Celestia holding a Clatmore Sword in her TK. "......I have to battle you, don't I?"

"Yes you do, scum." She answered.

"Okay....no magic."

"No magic." And then we ran at each other. Haha, she's out of practice, missing almost every swing! But, I'm fucked if she hits. After a while, she's getting better. So I steer her toward a guard corpse. When I get close, I grab and fling a guards' short sword at her, lodging it it her horn. She screams bloody murder, so I sheathe my sword, dropkick her in the chest, and running the fuck away, TK her Claymore with me. After a while, I realize Tempest isn't with me. Must be distracting Celestia and those 6. Anyways, I make it to a hut, and a Zebra walks out. "Hey. Uhh, could you please escort me to Zebraca?" And after a bit more convincing, she escorts me there.

---Years later---

I'm now 35, and armed better. I'm wearing a steel-reinforced fencing suit, (Yes it's white) a helmet made of a baby Hydra skull. I'm armed with Tempests' training sword, now sharpened:
And Celestia's old Claymore Sword:
(But golden with her cutie mark on the pommel.)
Also, I'm at a griffin bar having a drink with my new friend, Steel Wing.
