I opened my eyes to see that I was on the ground laying in the dirt. I slowly pushed myself up onto one knee, and looked around. I saw that I was in the middle of a fort, and judging from the sounds from around me, i could tell it was under siege. I looked around more, and noticed my helmet in front of me. I picked it up, shook it off slightly, and put it on. I picked up my sword nearby. I stood up, and the world pulsed. I could feel it. I looked to the sky, and realized something. It must have been Discord dying. He said he was a god, so it made sense. I called out.

"All right guys, sound off."

"Cassie here."

"Ax"

"Marco."

"Rachel."

"Tobias."

"Good. Now, we need to help out. Guys, I will say one thing before we head out. This is a real war, so we actually might die. We will actually have to kill. Can you do that, and not die?" They realized, and they stopped. I had already figured this out, when Discord had said that we were going to have to go to war. I was ready ,I hunted, and had taken life, so I was a bit more numb to it than the others.

Don't get me wrong, I still think taking life is wrong, and pray to any deity out there to forgive me and take whatever poor soul I kill to the afterlife, but I was able to do it and not go throw up after.

The others gave each other a look, and turned to me and nodded.

"Fine. Don't die, and go help defend the walls. I need to go find the leader of this place." They nod and split up, heading to the walls of the city we were in. I looked around and saw a Pony. I realized it had to be one, as it had a horse like body shape, and a head like a pony. She had a stetson hat on, and was wearing red plate armor. I ran to her, as she sent away another pony. I could tell from her shape that she was a female, and if Cassie was here, she could tell me the correct term for a female horse or pony.

"Ma'am, I need to speak with you." She looks at me, and is surprised, then angry. She pulls out a Flamberge and shield, and stops me.

"What are ya, ya varmint?" The southern accent throws me off, and the weapon looked like the one from the newest For Honor hero, shield to. I held my hands up, and pulled out the scroll.

"Hey, I was sent here by a being named Discord. He gave me this, and said I was to give it to the leader of the fort I was to appear in." At the word Discord, she lowered her sword, and approached me. I handed the lady the scroll, and she opened it and read. After a second, she slowly lowered it, and a tear fell from her eye.

"Damnit Discord. Even in your final moments, ya still helped us. Alright, I believe ya, and we can talk more about your world you came from later. In the meantime, I need someone to clear the front gates. The Caribou have been knocking, and they just wont stop."

"Well, they sound like pushy salesmen. Maybe we should tell them no soliciting?" The lady laughed at that, then stuck her hand out.

"Names Applejack, but call me Aj, it's quicker."

"Jake, leader of my group of six. Human. You said Caribou, right?"

"Yep, now, how many men do you think you need to help you clear the gate?" I smiled under my visor.

"Just one Warden is needed to change the tide. I will go alone, and you can send troops after e to clear the stragglers." She gawked at me as I walked to the fortifications by the gate. The wall wasn't especially high, and with the right aim, I should be able to break my fall with one of the Caribou beneath me. I looked over the wall, and I could immediately see the testosterone rising in the air. I don't know how, but I could almost smell the testosterone coming from the enemy. I looked, and all the enemies in front of me looked to be male. Bucks. I had done enough hunting to know that. Well, time to hunt again, just in a different way. I turned to the archers nearest me, and told them to focus fire on the battering ram I saw in front of the gates to the fort. I looked over again, and saw a group of five bucks standing below the wall. I braced my self, and leaped over the wall.

I landed on the group of five, and they all were injured by my fall. I had a good time, as it took out a few enemies. I got up, and ran towards the rest of the fifty men in front of me. I reached the first one, and he didn't realize I was there. I drew my sword, and sheathed it in his back. The other 49 bucks in front of him heard, and turned. I pulled out my sword, and turned to them.

"Hunting season is open. I am having Caribou for dinner tonight." And with that, the 49 came at me.

For the next four minutes, I parried, dodged, thrust, sliced, hit, punched, and killed 20 of the 49, bringing the number to 29. The others were a bit wary now, knowing I had just killed 21 of there people. I was panting, but I held my sword against them in defiance. The rest attacked me, but it was slower, more like two or three at a time. I blocked a swing to my right from the buck in front, and then sidestepped a swing from the buck to my left, parrying a blow from the right buck. I looked to block behind me, but saw that a Kensei had suddenly appeared behind me at some point, and was defending my back.

I quickly completed my makeshift pirouette, and blocked the blow of the center buck. I threw his sword of mine, and then slashed at him as he was off balance. I then elbowed the left buck, and sliced up on him, cutting him open. The buck on the right saw my opening, and went to use it, but before he took a step, a blast of blue energy hit him, and he started to burn.

I turned from the dead Caribou around me, and looked to the wall. What I saw was what looked to be reinforcements manning the wall. And those reinforcements had horns, and wings, as the ponies coming up over the wall looked to be bringing in primitive bombs. The Ponies with horns started to fire blasts of energy below into the army. I saw Applejack telling them to not hit me and Tobias, as I was pretty sure that she could figure out he was on my team.

I waved to her, and she saw and waved back. I turned and went back into the battle. I made my way to Tobias, and talked to him as I stepped up to stab a Caribou that had gotten behind him.

"Tobias, watch your back. I need you to head to the ram and see if you can't help with making sure it doesn't break the gates." As I said that, I could hear Applejack yell.

"They breached the gates! Everyone, hold them off. We can't let them get in to far." I saw her pull a horn, and blow a series of chirping calls. After that, I saw the archers turn to the center, and fire in, as a few unicorns did the same. I heard a few seconds later an answering chirping horn from across the fort.

"SHIT! Tobias, on me, we need to help defend the courtyard." He nodded, and we ran for the gates, huffing and panting from the armor and battle fatigue. We made it to the gate about three minutes later, and rushed past the ram. As we entered the courtyard, me and Tobias saw Marco and Ax fighting. Applejack was struggling against a group of five Caribou who had her pinned to the ground, and were stripping her armor off her. She was fighting, but the bucks had her pinned. I told Tobias to help Marco and Ax, and I rushed towards Applejack. As I got near, I pulled off the buck stripping her armor, and as he got up I performed one of the finishers the Warden used. The Blackstone Bash.

I stabbed the buck in the chest, and then quickly pulled the sword out. After that, I slashed his gut as he tried to push it away, and then swiped his legs to send him flying, before shoulder checking him as hard as I could while he was still in the air. His limp corpse tumbled over towards the four Caribou still holding Applejack, and I gave them a hard look through my visor.

"Get of the girl, or I will end your lives in worse ways." The bucks looked at each other, and then got off Applejack, grinning. I didn't let all of them get up. I rushed one, and tackled him. I was performing another finisher. The shoulder tackle. As me and the buck tumbled, I sprawled myself onto my back, sword in hand, close to him. As I quickly started to get up, I shoved my sword in his gut and used it to push myself up. I knew what I was doing, but I was playing the part of the accidental stabbing.

"Oh shit, my bad. Here, let me pull my sword out."

And I remove my blade with a jerk, the caribou dying in a pool of his own blood. I turn to the last three soldiers, and I take them all on. I perform three finishers on all of them, one for each. The first soldier I used the Guts then Chop finisher.

I stabbed the buck, and then slashed my sword up while still in him. As I came out, I spun around and beheaded him. The second buck was killed with the backhand strike.

I stabbed the soldier, and then I pulled out and gripped the blade, bringing it across his jaw and neck, killing him.

The final Caribou was killed with the simplest finisher. The Hilt Strike. After a few blows, he was disarmed. I kicked him in the gut, and then I started the finisher as he fell to his knees. I gripped the blade of my sword, and then brought it up and over my head in a hammer strike onto his collar bone. He died instantly, blood flooding from his veins and coming out through his destroyed neck.

After that, I helped Applejack up, and looked away, as her armor had no chest piece now. She didn't have anything on underneath it, as they had torn it away when they had taken off her chest plate. After she had gotten some non-bloody cloth from some of the bodies and tied it around her chest, she coughed, and I turned back around. I will say, she looked badass like she did.

She had only her leg armor and her arm guards to her neck. The only piece missing was again the chest. The cloth tied around her chest accentuated her ample breasts, and the sun seemingly shining behind her didn't help to dull the image. After a second of staring, I realized what I was doing, and cleared my throat.

"You okay? I got here as fast as I could to help you guys." She nodded, blushing and tearing up over what happened. I looked around, and noticed her hat on the ground near where she had fallen. I walked over and picked it up, and gave it to her. She seemed to regain her composure with that, and took the hat and put it on.

"Thanks partner. We need to see if any other parts of the town need help." And with that said, and horn blew across the battlefield.

(Forgive the person talking. She just says Audio Jungle.)

Applejack starts to get happy at the sound, and then cheers. She turns to me, and says.

"That means the Caribou are retreating from Appleloosa. We won!" I start to cheer with her, and the others see, and start to cheer as well. Soon, the entire town is one victorious cry. After a few, the cheer dies, and we turn, to start giving respect to the dead.

The next chapter starts a bit later, about a day to be exact. And again, sorry about the lady speaking in the audio bit. It doesn't mean anything special. Next chapter, they introduce themselves to the princesses.
