The New Zebrican Empire

While Chris was on his way towards the Minotaur Kingdom for the fighting area, along with the masked elephant that saved his life before. King Dainn has sent his general to talk with the Prince of Canterlot, and was now forcing the Caribou engineers to work overtime to fix the damage that costed him his warriors. He was sitting in his throne room, as his mares were pleasing him, but that hardly made him feel better about Chris' victory at Bold Brass. As he was thinking to himself a messenger came in with a scroll in his hands, and he gave it to Dainn.

He looked at it, the weather in the Griffon Kingdom was snowing, and was a perfect time to attack.

"Assemble my strongest warriors!" Dainn commanded as he walked out to the balcony to see his army stood ready. "Now we shall take the Griffon's land now. Death to our enemies!"

"Death to our enemies!" The army repeated as they shouted with pride.

"May slavery dominate the Celestial sluts, and the mares!"

"May slavery dominate the Celestial sluts, and the mares!"

"But most of all." King Dainn said as he nodded to a nearby guard, as he then dropped a banner with Chris' face on it. This provoked the Caribou. "Death to Chris, and his non believers to our destiny!"

"Death to Chris, and his followers! Death to Chris, and his followers! Death to Chris, and his followers!" The Caribou army chanted, as they banged their shields, and pound the ground with their weapons. During the chanting a large fleet of airships with cannons on them were taking airborne into the skies. These blimps were most assault ships, designed to attack those below, and not other airships.

"This time I have Equestria in my hands for sure, and Chris you will die for your interference." Dainn said himself as he watched his army open up the 20 ton steel gate, and the army marched along towards the Griffon Capital of Griffonstone.

Meanwhile at the Minotaur Capital of Bold Brass

Chris was enjoying the games, his elephant warrior with a mask was winning 4-0 during the matches. Chris' warrior's next opponent was the champion of the arena as both King Iron Hoof, and Chris sat down next to each other.

"I'm impressed Chris, your warrior made it to the final round without breaking a sweat." Iron Hoof complemented as he turned to face Chris.

"Of course King Iron Hoof." Chris said as he looked at him. "During the rebellion, he personally saved me during the attack, before I became king." The crowd cheered as the masked elephant, and Iron Hoof's warrior were dishing out might blows to one another. The masked elephant punched his opponent, as he then shoulder charged him pinning him against the wall, but the champion upper handed the masked elephant. The champion grabbed a nearby shield, and the masked elephant grabbed a very large pair of iron knuckles, readying to use them on his opponent. They both charged at one another, smashing, crashing, slamming, and pounding each other the moment each of them recovered after one's attack, the other hits him even harder than ever. The masked elephant's mask looked broken, however, it is still in one piece, too bad for his opponent, the champion's right horn chipped off a bit, but still in one piece just the same. The two readied themselves again, they charged at each other, and both of them punched each other in the face so hard that from a distance you could hear a bone snapping apart.

Chris, Iron Hoff, and the crowd to see the two fighters still standing, after those two hit each other, the champion fell first the second before the masked elephant, and so it was decided. The crowd got up from their seats to cheer for the masked elephant, while King Iron Hoof stared in awe, and shock for what he had seen here today, same goes for Chris as well.

"Well Chris I guess you won." Iron Hoof said as he got off his seat, as a Minotaur in black robes with a yellow box, and handed it over to King Iron Hoof. "As promised, you earned the grand prize my friend, good fight." As Iron Hoof offered his hand, and Chris shook it in front of the audience as the cheered even louder.

After the fight, and back home

Chris used one of the crystals to get back to his castle, and as soon as he got back a group of Dragons were in the throne room. One of the Dragons look like a general with a lot of battle scars on his face, with thick red blood scales that could block an axe blade. He then noticed Chris in the room, and was quick to knee before Chris, as did his followers.

"I'm sorry for not introducing myself." The Red Dragon spoke in a rough tone. "My name is General Red Burner, General of Ember's mighty kingdom. We were sent to give this as a gift of bravery, and standing up to our worst enemy, the Caribou scum." A dragon in purple armor came from behind Red, and he gave it to Chris as he opened it. Inside was a box with a egg shaped amber coloring on it, with that it was glowing red like Red scales, and Chris faced him.

"What exactly am I looking at here?" Chris asked making the Dragons look at Chris funny.

"That my friend is a magical lava stone." Red said as the stone was glowing again, but this time it was flowing around Chris' body. "This will give you greater strength to fight off your enemies, and will increase the rate of your stamina. Use it well." And with that the dragons left, as they flew away leaving Chris with the lava stone in his hands. He then went to his room, as he passed by many subjects when they greeted him with wide smiles on their faces. One of the maids blushed as Chris greeted her, only to fall backwards, and into a pile of clean laundry that she just finished.

"Oh my! I'm sorry your highness!" The young maid panicked as she got up to gather the clean laundry, but Chris picked up the basket for her, and she looked at him in confusion. "Why did you help me sire?"

"Cause even a king, I must help out my subjects, even if it is just petty jobs." Chris replied as he placed the basket on the floor next to her. "Besides, I enjoy helping out others, even if they are my servants, or my maids." The young maid folded back the clean laundry in place, and turn to smile at Chris.

"Thank you my lord, I will never forget this!" She said as she hurried along making up for lost time. After that Chris sped walk to his room, there is something very important that he has to do now. As he was walking towards the door, a crazed Griffon came out to sweep Chris off his feet, and into the air. It was Glider holding Chris in her arms, she had a wide smile on her face, while blushing red, almost as red as the tips of her feather color.

"Oh my sweet husband, welcome back to your lovely love nest!" Glider squealed as she locked her beak with Chris' lips not giving him a second to say anything. She then flew them both to Chris' room as she threw him on the bed, as she jumped him kissing him rough like, while not cutting his mouth with her sharp beak. Chris push her off to get a breather to speak.

"Woah! Woah! Woah!" Chris yelled out. "What the heck are you doing Glider?" Glider just stood on Chris' bed smiling as she gave him a lovely look in her eyes, filled with lust, and nothing else.

"Oh nothing handsome." She said as she showed off her wingspan in full length for Chris to see. "Somehow, I feel all crazy inside, like I want to be with you even more now than ever. And after we fend off those elks, were going to party after our honeymoon. Oh, I'm so excited!" She then jumped Chris again, but only this time she was kissing him so hard that his gag reflex acted up as Glider was hugging him not letting him go. Just then a large arm came out of no where, and quickly wrapped up Glider in 4 layers of rope. The large arm belonged to Mango, as she stood next to Honey Comb next to her, and they were pissed as Honey Comb stood forward.

"Mango." Honey spoke. "I think our harem mate here needs another lesson about our customs, this won't take long." After that mango left with Glider angrily struggling, and screaming through the cloth in her beak. Honey then turned her attention towards Chris with a scolding look, while crossing her arms.

"I get what your going to say, but she just came up to me too fast, and I could say no to someone like her." Chris said looking ashamed of himself.

"I get it my king, but you got to keep your harem under control." Honey said as she sat down on his bed. "The law says you must choose-"

"A queen before I could marry the rest, I understand Honey." Chris said interrupting her as he looked at the floor. "But now that I think about it, I now made my decision at last." He finished as Honey looked back at him with interest.

"What would that be, my king?" She asked as Chris got up, as he walked over to her.

"You my striped beauty."

"Me my lord?" Honey asked with wide eyes, and Chris nodded.

"Of course Honey, after all, you are the first mare I first met, and talked to since the day I arrived in this world." Chris replied as he sat down next to her. "And you are the one that helped me build this great empire, and so I decided to make you rule as my queen of the new zebra empire."

This took Honey be surprise, never in her life that her king would choose her out of all the other mares. She looked at Chris as she hugged him tightly.

"Thank you my king! Thank you!" She said as Chris stroke her mane gently like as they looked at each other.

"So, what time should you, and my harem get married?" He asked

"How about the day before the Caribou's invasion on Griffonstone? After the wedding you, and Glider can go with a small army of zebra warriors."

"Ok, I will notified the others, and rally up volunteering recruits to the fight." Chris said as he made his way out the door, and straight for the training grounds.

Later with the Caribou's army's advance just 2 days away from the Griffon Capital

The Caribou army had now 50,000 warriors armed with spears, archers, swordsmen, crossbows, and battle axes. They have marched for days not eating anything, but poor people bread for 3 days as they kept marching since they left their Capital. They also had mounted warbeasts, equipped with repeater shooting arrow launchers, designed to take out air units. The army was being led by a very inexperienced general who looks young than most generals in the Caribou army, and had a collared female caribou next to him. The army was also being tailed by the fleet of airships behind them moving slowly, but surely as they marched through the snow step by step. The Caribou were getting restless, as a few died off during their march, and whipping the warriors did no good as the cuts from the whip insured the weak ones deaths from the bitter cold.

"When can we stop General?" One of the warriors complained as he tripped over a few times. "The men are getting weaker with each passing moment, and we need to restock supplies to ensure our advancements."

"No!" The young general yelled making the warrior step back. "The last time we had to do that, all but a handful of our army died to check on our supplies. Can't afford to lose anymore as we make our way to the capital of the Griffon Kingdom. So shut the buck up, and keep moving!" He said while whipping his troops as they picked up the pace.

Things were miserable with the Caribou right now, ever since Chris' name came up all over the empire, King Dainn forced young bucks to train day, and night to be recruited. With that, the warriors took the female caribou's new born sons away, that they wanted to keep, and raise them in their own home.

During that time in the hideout under the Caribou Empire

The rebels were making leather armor, and iron weapons with a few new recruits of their own they just brought in. A certain Caribou female was working out as she was sweating a lot, as she worked on the iron bars, and soon afterwards she was done. She then looked at the map she had received yesterday, it was intel of the Caribou's next invasion plans, but only this time it was to go directly towards the zebra empire.

"Hmm, interesting, but this could be trouble." She said as she got up to look over the details, and when it is due. "However, luckily for King Chris this plan won't come to pass within 5 months from now, so there is no need to worry."
