A knock came onto Buckshot's door. He didn't really care. He was trying to sort out everything in his mind. He didn't remember dying as the DOOM Slayer. He also wondered how he and Devoth were reincarnated. The knock came again.

"Go away guys.", he shouts through the door. "I don't feel like talking right now."

"It's Cadence", comes through the door. "You've been in there crying for an hour, it's time to go."

"OH SHIT!", Buckshot shouts as he jumps out of bed. He opens the door to see a less tires Cadence standing in the doorway. They begin to walk down the hall and chat.

"I trust that you're ready to go.", Cadence says trying to be formal again.

"Of course I'm ready, but I want to know how you knew I was crying.", Buckshot responds aggressively.

"Well...", Cadence starts.

"Go on, spit it out.", says Buckshot.

"I put a camera in your room.", she finishes.

"You WHAT?!?!", shouts Buckshot.

"You had just learnt that you're the most powerful being in the fucking multiverse!", Cadence argues. "I Didn't know How you'd react." Buckshot calms down and hangs his head.

"Everyone on earth walked on eggshells around me, and now it's happening here.", he says.

"I just..., I'm sorry.", Cadence responds. Buckshot sighs.

"It's fine.", he says calmly. "But please understand that I'm not a mindless killing machine that smites everyone I don't like."

"Okay.", says Cadence. They continue down the corridor to the hangar. They enter a ship bay simular to the one Buckshot saw in his Phobos dream. It was filled with the other survivors that made it to the stronghold. They were standing in front of the landing platform that the troop transport would land on.

The big door on top opens up and a large ship descends through the forcefield keeping the air in the hangar. It fires it's machine guns at several demons attempting to take advantage of the open doors. It descends for another moment before touching down on the platform in front of all the survivors. The door on the ship opens to reveal a yellow stallion wearing green armor.

"Get on, the demons will soon overrun us!", he shouts. The survivors quickly start to board the transport.

"Cadence!", buckshot shouts as she's about to board. She turns around and walks over to him. "I need a favor."

"Go on.", she says.

"I need you to tell Hayseed and Dexter not to tell anyone that I'm the DOOM Slayer.", he responds. "And that goes for you too."

"Are you sure?", asks Cadence.

"I can't live like I did in the other Earth.", Buckshot says.

"We gotta' go!", the stallion shouts again.

"I'll see you on the other side.", shouts Cadence as she trots to the transport. The door closes and the ship begins its takeoff. The hangar doors close, crushing a unfortunate pain elemental trying to get in. Buckshot stares at the gore that fell in front of him and walks away.

"Pain elementals are smaller then I remember.", he mutters to himself as he goes to the activate the AI troopers in Cadence's office. He walks up to the control panel behind her desk and presses his hoof to it.

"Access granted.", a computer voice said. Cadence had given him security access the night before. He input a few more commands into the control pad and the troopers came to life.

"Awaiting command.", They said in unison. They were tall robotic ponies, one white one black, both had glowing blue eyes. Buckshot looked at the control pad to see all the command codes.

"Emergency code 12665.", he said.

"Affirmative.", they both respond. Buckshot looks at the control pad for another second.

"Update objective, guide to Slayer's artifacts.", he commands.

"Object of interest is under restricted access. To continue, you must verify security clearance.", they say. Buckshot facehooves. HE had hoped it wouldn't come to this.

"Security code 69420.", he says driving his hooves through his eyes.

"Security clearance accepted.", they both say. "Requesting time of execution."

"Ten minutes from now.", he says.

"Order confirmed.", the troopers say nodding. Buckshot runs to his room to get his guns and armor. Why didn't I do this before they left?, he thinks to himself as he rushes to get his armor on. He grabs and loads his shotgun and straps his assault rifle to his side. He runs back to the office and stops in front of the troopers with two minutes to spare.

"Command, bypass time, execute order now.", he says a little wheezy.

"Command confirmed.", they say. They begin walking through the corridor to the large blast doors that separated the stronghold with the rest of Utopia Planitia. The black trooper walks up to a control pad on the wall next to the door. It presses it's hoof onto it and the doors open. Buckshot cringes at the familiarity of the run down halls. Only the red emergency lights were on and wires were hanging from the ceiling. An Imp was heard in the distance fallowed by a scream. The troopers continue through the halls while Buckshot fallows. He brings his shotgun closer to himself with his magic.

He hears some scurrying and quickly turns around and fires both rounds. A corpse of a Gargoyle falls to the ground. He feels anger building up within him. They come up to a junction and turn right, to encounter a group of possessed. The troopers opened their mouths to reveal machine guns. They open fire, killing all the zombie like creatures. They press on, trampling over the corpses of what were once ponies.

From there it was a straight shot to the vault with the artifacts. more fodder was encountered along the way, but the troopers' machine gun, and Buckshot having a rage fit took them all down. Eventually they made it to the large blast door similar to the one at the stronghold. The white trooper walks over to the wall to the right of the door. It lifts it's hoof and it opens up. A plug like thing immerges from the open hoof and goes into a port on the wall. A blue stream of energy goes through it and the blast doors open up.

Inside there's a open sarcophagus with a large human male in the center of the room, and in the corner was the old Praetor Suit. Buckshot smiled at it, though seeing it was bittersweet. He then saw a copy of the armor designed for ponies. At this he grinned widely. He walked over to it and tried to grab the helmet with his hooves. Upon failing, he huffs and uses his magic. He puts the helmet down and walks over to the stand with his Super Shotgun.

"Oh baby how I missed you.", he says to the gun. He clutches the gun with his hooves and hugs it to his chest. He then puts it down and takes the time to change his armor to the pony Praetor Suit. It had the designation F-90 in place of the mark of the Primeval. As he put it on, it felt too big on him. Then he put his helmet on. The visor activated and he felt the suit tighten onto him.

"Auto fit active.", says a deep AI voice through the helmet.

"Why hello.", says a still happy Buckshot. "Who might you be?"

"I am PICA.", responds the AI. "Personal Intelligence Combat Assistant."

"Can you tell me more about you?", asks Buckshot.

"I am a sentient AI in the F-90 combat armor suit designed to give the user assistance in several ways.", the AI responds again.

"Oh so you're sentient.", says Buckshot.

"Affirmative.", obliges PICA.

"Does that mean you can think for yourself?", asks Buckshot.

"Yes.", PICA responds.

"Oh you and I are gonna be good friends.", says Buckshot, loading his Super Shotgun.
