Author's Note

So this will have a long description of stuff that is gonna be useful later on so just bare through it if you start to dislike it.

Also sorry for the wait.

Lies, lies, and more lies

(POV Jekyll)

"So not to be rude but what ya got to eat?" I asked the white pegacorn. "Because I'm starving."

"Well we have pancakes and hay bacon," she replied.

"The hell is hay bacon is it made from pigs that only eat hay?" I asked causing the yellow one to stare at me as if I'd kicked a puppy. "What ya looking at me like that for?"

"Um no it's hay formed into the shape of bacon," she answered. "Are you perhaps a carnivore?"

"Nah I'm an omnivore but still gonna need some meat," I said back easily anticipating her next question.

In the corner one of the guards mumbled something that to those without cybernetically augmented ears would be inaudible. Even so, I barely managed to make it out.

"I'll give you some meat every once in a while," was what I heard and so did Celestia apparently.

"Guard did you have something to say?" she looked straight at the guard whose armor seemed to almost melt from her stare.

"No, your highness I didn't."

"Oh really cause it sounded like you were going to try and take what I've claimed," she said confusing me.

(POV Celestia)

"So Jekyll how do pancakes sound?" I asked

"sounds good thanks," he said

"Princess is it possible for me to ask our guest a question," asked Rainbow Dash

"Of course Rainbow Dash."

"So what's with the armor you look like your going to war are you a soldier or something?" she asked and I honestly didn't expect his answer. He smiled.

"Something like that I've taken part in multiple campaigns," He looked at her with a dark smile. "For instance how about the infinite war between the Aeon, Cybran, and U.E.F. now that was a war."

"I've never heard of a war by that name," said Twilight.

"Of course you haven't your species hasn't developed space travel."

(POV Jekyll)

"What do you mean space travel are you saying your an alien?"

"I thought we already established the fact that I fell through a magical anomaly." These fucking idiots are buying the entire thing holy shit their stupid. "If that doesn't scream alien I don't know what does."

"So your an alien warrior who has taken part in countless wars I find that hard to believe," said the guard

"How about I show you," I said while building a hologram emitter in my hand. "This is a holo-emitter It shall allow me to share with you one of the many battles I have participated in."

Suddenly an image of a forest sprang up but soon the image began to shake and multiple metal behemoths on spider-like legs were seen walking through the forest crushing trees beneath their legs. The main bodies of the machines looked like boats but each had either eight or six legs. Each boat had multiple cannons on them pointing to all sides and some even pointing up.

"What are those?" asked the lunar princess.

"Those would be tech two Cybran cruisers and destroyers they are very useful when assaulting island bases."

Behind the boats were metallic flying machines that had multiple rotating canons on their fronts and behind those came large vehicles which carried walking machines and boxes with treads and a single or double cannon. Triangular vehicles flew in a circle around the procession.

"And those?" she asked again

"Gunships and fighters escorting transports which are carrying land vehicles."

Finally behind the entire procession came a large spiked machine walking on two legs it easily was the same size as the boats it was also covered with a red energy field surrounding it and a box on it's back with a tube attached to an elongated cannon on its right arm with a three-fingered pincer claw on its left arm.

"And that?" she asked with wide eyes and a shaky voice.

"That is me I drive the Armored Command Unit or ACU for short," I smiled as the transports dropped the tanks and the gunships pushed forward and began blasting the enemy's shields while the boats turned sideways powering up both missile launchers and cannons. "And now the battle begins."

(POV Guard)

This was unlike anything I'd ever seen I watched as the massive machines blasted into each other with the commander building cannons and shields which protected the smaller machines from enemy fire. The boats were by far the most powerful their cannons tore into the enemy ranks shredding them while tube-like objects with fire spitting from their ends flew into buildings before exploding. The smaller machines focused on the opposing machines but that's not to say that they didn't suffer losses three of the twelve boats were gone as well as half of the gunships and smaller machines.

"This can't be real," I said.

"And yet it is but hey if you wanna see the more brutal battles then I could show you," he replied.

"More brutal?" There was more. "How could it be any worse."

"Well, this was one of my smaller armies it was merely meant to buy time for my main base to complete the behemoth known as "Fatboy" in this part of the war we had gained the assistance of the U.E.F. now that is a war machine."

"What do you me-Woah!" from the sea rose a massive metal plate rolling on four treads and on it were mounted four massive cannons and eight smaller guns with swiveling cannons blasting at air machines and a shield covering its entirety. This behemoth began crushing anything it didn't blast with its cannons.

"That's what I mean," he said.

"Princess, are you seeing this?" I asked dumbly

"Yes guard how could I miss it."

"This was the final battle of the infinite war that I know of due to being sucked through a seraphim portal."

"Your enemies I'm guessing?"

"Yes and this led to me being dropped off into the middle of the forest where these six found me."

(POV Jekyll)

"Perhaps we could end this discussion the war is not my most favorite subject do you have somewhere that I could rest? I'm still tired due to the shrapnel that was lodged in my body earlier."

"Of course, Guard can you lead Jekyll to one of the guest rooms?"

"Yes Princess, come I'll show you to your room."

"Thanks."

(POV Applejack)

"Princess?"

"Yes Applejack."

"It's odd but as far fetched as his story sounds and looks my element is telling me he is telling the truth and even though the elements have never been wrong I still doubt him," I said.

"As do I Applejack," Said Princess Luna. "There are two options one he is insane and has fabricated the entire story or two we are in the presence of a master tactician and I am frightened by the fact that I believe it to be the second option. The images were just too clear to be fabricated from an insane mind. Sister, what do you think?"

"I agree with you Luna but I am sure there is more to the story than just one battle he did after all state that it was a war. Perhaps tonight we shall enter his dreams and request permission to see the rest of the war."

"Personally I think he's awesome," said Rainbow. "I mean did you see that army and he said that was a small force only meant as a distraction for the larger weapon."

"Darling even I agree with Rainbow Dash those machines no matter how garish they were painted were insanely powerful and awe-inspiring."

"I personally would like to see how they work," said Twilight. "Maybe they could be repurposed from war machines into civilian transports."

"Sister and I shall ask him later."

(POV Guard)

I really wanted to ask him questions but I didn't know how to start the conversation should I start with my name or maybe just as-

"You know it's rude to stare and if you wanna ask a question go ahead," he said with a smile.

"Oh sorry, It's just I was wondering if it would be possible for us to use machines like that?"

"Well maybe with your magic," He stopped to think. "Is there a way to turn magic into electricity like through some sort of runes or something?"

"Well yes there are stun traps which suck in magic and convert it to low amounts of electricity so it doesn't kill but immobilizes."

"The machines you saw can be powered through electricity so if we get a powerful enough amount of magic flowing into the batteries then maybe we can power a tank or something."

"Even one of those machines on the battlefield would be devastating against our enemies because despite or amount of political power we are the lowest in technological power and have only survived this long due to magic."

"Maybe later we can work together to create something for the guard. Before the war, humans wore massive armored suits capable of blocking bullets the size of your fist."

"Wow," was all I could say. "Well here's your room."

"Neat, Hey is it possible for me to get a book on runes just for some independent study. Maybe we could surprise the Princesses."

"Yea I'll get one of the maids to bring all we have on runes in here."

"Thanks."

"Oh, by the way, I'm Stormy Night."
