11:59 Outside of the Capital

Chris' POV

Almost at high noon the sun was beating down on me, and my men. The elephant warriors were sweating buckets of sweat, with how much water they drank. The giraffe scouts used there long necks to scout the city from different angles, and they told me zeku had 4,000 guards including archers to increase his defense. Ashy and her sister Zashy scouted the inner part of the place, and found not only a whole stash of not only weapons, but a lot of mare slaves, along with their children. So before we begun our assault plan, the twin gazelles snuck in last night while the night guard was in a deep sleep, they got the slaves all out of there. I was also told by Honey that I was in full command of this battle, she said that even she is volunteering for this, so who was I to say no even if I wanted to, or was taught about it. Anyways we were now set, I put on my gloves, placed my sword on my hip, and like great military leaders do, I was going to give yet another heroic speech.

"Listen up my friends!" I spoke in front of them all, as they stood attention like an organized force. "I am Chris Sandbar, and I will free you all from captive, and slavery! I know what happened to me before was a lost, but we have a saying back in my world, and that is with every defeat does not make us weak, it makes us stronger to live life to the fullest!" This is really pecking there interest now. "Now that we mustered our strength we are now an army of our own, one that well slay this evil off the face of this world! So lets fight my brothers and sisters, and win for freedom! No more slavery, no more misery, no more King Zeku, and his allies ways of life!" They now were armed with weapons and armor, I was now ready to win this, and this time I will not fail again.

Zeku's POV Inside the palace

I was now in a panic, after what that creature did, and those elephants destroying the gate during the festival cause the public great fear that now I tasted. I ordered my men to barricade the gates on all sides including the doors within my own palace to provide the elephants from knocking them down. This is very bad, I was ruling with an iron fist, but now the human had show up, and ruin everything with his rebel band, now I got word that the slaves I had in the city are all gone too. This is the last straw its either that creature or me, and I say its him.

"How is the defenses coming along captain?" I asked my old captain from years ago.

"Everything is going fine your highness, we are almost done with the front gate or whats left of it anyway." he replied

"Well hurry up, and fix it captain! That monkey and his band of misfits are gonna charge at us any minute!" I ordered

"I'm aware my king we will not fail-" but right before he finished his sentence, but I interrupted him

"I want you to understand something captain. This rebel army led by this demon will come here to destroy everything we hold dear, and you think you win when your so sure to the very end. And this is our only chance to crush him once and for all. Mark my words captain we are not giving up no matter what, do you understand captain?"

"Right my king, no retreat, and no surrender either." And he made his way out the door leaving me alone with my elite bodyguard. 'This time I will have my revenge Chris sandbar' I said in my thoughts while smirking at the image of my enemy's death.

Chris' POV Outside the city gates

I had 3,556 on my side including the slave my friends just freed buff out the number in my ranks. So I order the twin gazelles to cause chaos behind enemy lines, while me, and my men will try to bust down the almost done armored gate. I had Mango tell the elephant warriors to arm themselves with my new weapon design the short thrusting spear, which I taught them how to use in a short amount of time. Everything was ready, now wait for the sister's signal which was a loud bird screech of a hawk. After a few minutes later the gazelles launched the signal so this was it, now time for action.

"TO ARMS MY FRIENDS, DEATH TO THE KING!" I yelled letting out my war cry as we charged right at the enemy's gate. They saw us coming and quickly abandoned their posts to switch into archers, they rain arrows at us like shooting stars after a meteor shower. As the arrows flown straight at me, an elephant with a thick tribal mask, used his own mask to block the arrows, and he manage to shake that off somehow. We were about to destroy the gate, but it was too strong even for the elephants to push down all by themselves. "Damnit, where are those twins?!" I yelled as a few of my guys were getting slaughtered left, and right. I was almost squashed by a dead elephant, as I dodged his collapse. Just then I heard a few slicing and dicing going up on the wall, and saw the twins with both zebras along with other gazelles with antelopes by their side. Ashy threw daggers out at the guards operating the control gates, while Zashy snuck up behind and stabbed some of the archers to death while signaling it was clear, and with the archers out of the picture, we all pushed against the gate as it now burst open. As we got inside, there was a wall of spike formation blocking us from reaching zeku, so now was a job for the elephants, and zebras now. We gathered our courage and we all charged at the enemy pike wall, and to our enemy's surprise it did not stop us even if it was meant to stop large creatures like the elephants. I hacked my way through their pike men slicing each one after another, and I decapitated the last one standing, as we made our way through the town square. Ashy and her sister decided to follow up on me, as we now were inside the palace cutting down every zebra guard that dared to defend their king. But before we continued, I stopped to see a large chamber of which I do not recognized.

"What is this room?"

"It is the harem chamber for that bastard zeku." said honey who was standing by my side. "This is where he takes young maids, including daughters from rich nobles here to bear his children."

"Alright lets get this door open!" I ordered my men, as they leaned against the harem chamber door.

"One, two, three!" and we shoved the door wide open to see 23 zebra mares in harem outfits looking at us. "Go now, your free, go back to your families, hurry!" with that they left getting their things as they ran out the door. Now for the king himself, as we were heading to the throne room with victory in our grasp at last.

3rd POV

"CAPTAIN YOU BETTER TELL ME YOU KILLED THAT APE MAN, OR I WILL HAVE YOU EXECUTED FOR TREASON!" shout zeku as he was both afraid for his life, and angry that he is losing everything, including his 'precious collection' of young mares. But the captain gave no response, there was total silence outside. So zeku decided to look, and he was in total shock to see not only the captain dead, but everything he had was destroyed. Just then he heard a sound from outside of his throne room now, so he sent a bodyguard to check it out so he did. And at first was fine but then suddenly a short spear thrust right into the guards face bleeding out right there until he was dead.

"Those bastards are coming in!" Zeku shouted in panic/rage.

"Your majesty, its over, surrender already, please!" one of the guards begged.

"SHUT UP!" with that zeku slice his guard's throat silencing him. Just then the throne room door was busted wide opened by the elephants as Chris, and his troops came right in with new archers at his back aiming at zeku.

"Its over Zeku you lost both the battle, and the war. Surrender or die the choice is yours." Chris said but zeku went crazy right there.

"NO, NO MY KINGDOM, WHORSES, YOU DIE!!!!" as he drew his royal sword in an attempted to kill Chris, but was shot down by the archers. At last the king is dead, and now a new era can begin to take shape. I'm total going to rip off the loin king here, but 'long live the king.' After zeku died the city including everyone around me cheered not only for Chris, but the freedom of their new found kingdom.

Chris' POV In the throne room (again)

I was standing in front of a large crowd of zebras, antelopes, giraffes, and elephants all in the same room. Tribes from across the savannah plains here together like brotherhood, and Honey comb stood up to announce something.

"My dear friends!" she said out loud. "I know each and every single one of you had suffered greatly, but now the nightmare is over, zeku is dead!" a roar of clapping was heard across the room, with me clapping along with them.

"Now that zeku is gone we need a new leader, one that treats others equally with care, compassion, and understanding only by whats right. And I say Chris Sandbar should be our new king!" this took everyone by surprise including me, as she was pointing at me to come up to her, and I did.

"Chris Sandbar the human, you took a stand against a threat me along with everyone else could not to stop alone. You fought for us and helped us, you are the type of ruler we need, not the one we do not deserve what say you?" she asked me with a smile on her face.

"Yes!" I said with pride. "Yes I accept the position, and I will become the best ruler you all will ever know."

"Then we are to give you a ruling title then." said Chief Thunder Stomp with his daughter Mango by his side.

"I agree." said honey "How about King Chris the Conquer?"

"I like it." I replied "My full name now is King Chris I." with that I was given another round of applause. This was the mark of a new zebraican empire from here on.

Celestia's POV At castle Canterlot in Equestria

It was a warm day out I was enjoying my time off from my royal duties. I got word from my student Twilight sparkle she is doing well in her own castle, and she said that her friends are coming over to my castle within 5 days from now. Just then one of my royal guards came in with a message in his hand with my sister Luna's crest on it.

"Its for you your highness, its urgent!" he said while bowing.

"Thank you guardsmen." I said politely as I took it off his hand to read it. What I was reading really shocked me, an uprising in zebraic, and the rebels won with the help of the local tribes. "So another country has fallen?" I asked to my guard.

"Yes your majesty, they had killed their old king because of his misdeeds, including a alliance with King Dainn."

"And the name of this new king?"

"I apologize, but we don't yet have that information. All we know its that this new king of theirs, is called a human."

"You have done well guardsmen, you may go." and with that he left me to my thoughts. 'a human huh?, well next national meeting I should invite him, and meet this new king in person.' I thought to myself.
