7:00am

Charlie and Luster Dawn were both in the prison cell sleeping on the bed while embracing each other and snoring softly. And the main reason why they were embracing each other was to make sure that they were in each others sight. They do not want to get separated again.

But suddenly, the door to their cell was pushed open. Charlie slowly moaned and opened his eyes and saw two riot police units in full kit wielding batons entering their cell. His eyes widened and he looked down and began to shake Luster Dawn up.

"Luster Dawn, hey Luster Dawn."

Luster Dawn slowly moaned and opened her eyes and yawned.

"What is it Charlie?" She asked.

"Get off the bed, there are two riot police units standing at the door of our cell." Charlie said as he got off the bed.

Luster Dawn looked in front of her and saw that there were indeed two humans in dark armour and wielding black metal sticks standing at the entrance of their cell. Charlie then helped her off the bed and the two riot police officers immediately walked up to them and grabbed them by the chains of their cuffs. Then they began to drag them to the open area in Canterlot. They both looked in front of them and saw some other riot police units dragging some changelings, yaks and ponies to the open area as well as some youngs. And the view made them feel a huge melancholy.

Once the two riot police units have finished dragging Charlie Lam and Luster Dawn to the open area of Canterlot. One of the units pushed the two ponies to the working area. And the exertion made them vexed and irked.

"Get to work. And if you two are disobedient. You two will be transferred into the torture room or the sparring headquarters!" The riot police unit warned. After that, he and his colleague next to him turned around and began watch the creatures work.

Charlie looked around the place and saw many ponies, yaks, changelings, dragons and griffons moving large rocks, pushing metal carts, some are filled with coals and some are filled with bricks. Some were also carrying hefty metal plates and destroying their own houses along with some youngs which is a drastically hazardous job for some children. He then looked at Luster Dawn and noticed that she was desperately trying to look for someone.

"Who are you looking for Luster Dawn?" Charlie asked.

"I'm trying to look for my parents. I am very worried about them since I left with you." Luster Dawn said with anxiety.

"Don't worry Luster Dawn, I'm sure we will find them." He assured her.

"I know but, I do not know where to-"

"Luster Dawn!"

When Luster Dawn heard the intimate voice. She looked in front of her and her eyes immediately widened, because in front of her was her parents and they were running towards her with tears rolling down their cheeks.

"Dad! Mom!" Luster Dawn said running towards her parents with a huge smile.

Once they got to each other. They immediately embraced each other in a hug and cried in happiness that they have reunited with each other. Charlie then walked up to the three and smiled.

"Sweetie, I thought you would never come back." Sunburst and Starlight said in unison while crying.

"And I thought that I would never see any of you again." Luster Dawn said between cries.

Charlie was smiling when he saw that Luster Dawn has been reunited with her parents and it reminded him of the time when he and his parents embraced, but the tragedy that happened years ago was still haunting in his mind.

Suddenly, Starlight was pulled back and thrown onto the ground by a riot police unit wielding what looks to be like a shotgun loaded with rubber bullets to Charlie's assumption.

"Mom!" Luster Dawn said as she rushed to her mother's aid.

Sunburst wanted to help his wife but then, an invader in dark armour grabbed him from behind and pulled him back and Sunburst resulted in falling onto the ground next to a pile of coal.

The riot police unit armed with the rubber bullet shotgun aimed his excruciating metal weapon directly at Starlight and Luster Dawn.

"Get back to work!" The riot police unit demanded.

Starlight and Luster Dawn obeyed the invader and slowly stood up. Then, the invader pushed them to the destroyed houses with his gun, so that they can grab some dandy materials for the metal walls.

The other riot police unit in full kit and holding a baton with his right hand looked at Charlie and pointed at him with his baton.

"Here now!" The officer demanded as he pointed at the ground with his baton.

Charlie bregrudingly obeyed the officer and walked towards him slowly. But then, the riot police unit sped him up by gripping onto his cuffs with his left gloved hand and threw him next to the pile of coals.

"Stop lying around! Get to work!" The riot police unit demanded. Then, he turned around and walked to somewhere else to observe the creatures doing their work.

Charlie groaned and slowly pushed himself back up with his hooves. After that, he walked up to the male orange unicorn and helped him up as well, and Sunburst was truly grateful for Charlie's succour.

"Thank you so much mister... Charlie right?" Sunburst asked.

"Yep that's my name sir." Charlie said with a nod.

"Nice to meet you Charlie my name is Sunburst."

"Nice to meet you too mister Sunburst." Charlie said with a smile "Oh and yeah, we should probably get to work because the riot police units are probably going to assault us if we don't." He told him, and Sunburst got bewildered by the words 'riot police'.

"Riot police?" Sunburst asked with a perplexed expression "You mean the bipedal invaders in those rough armour?" He asked again.

"Yep, you are correct." Charlie said with a nod "And they are called humans. And I am also one of their kind, you probably already know since you first met me in that snack house." He told him.

"So your kind are called humans?"

"Yes, homo sapiens." Charlie replied with another nod "Anyways, come on we should get to work. Can you push that wheel barrow over here please?" He asked.

Sunburst nodded and walked to the large wheelbarrow.

Once he got to it, he gripped onto the handles with his hooves and began to push it next to the coal pile.

While Sunburst was doing that, Charlie activated his horn and scooped the coal with a large iron shovel. Once he scooped tons of them, he cautiously lifted it above the wheelbarrow's iron tray. Then he poured the coal into the tray, and he kept doing the same exertion until the wheelbarrow was full.

After one minute, the wheelbarrow was full.

"The wheelbarrow is full Charlie." Sunburst told him.

"Okay." Charlie said as he put the shovel back on the ground next to the coal pile.

Then Charlie and Sunburst began to push the wheelbarrow to a large yellow heavy duty bucket with all of their strength. And thanks to Charlie's time in fitness first in Westfield Paramatta and Westfiled Sydney. It was more easier to push, despite the fact that his pony body was making it a little bit diffcult.

While pushing the wheelbarrow. Charlie looked up and saw that there were some ponies, yaks, dragons, Kirin, diamond dogs, changelings and griffons putting materials like metal plates and strong woods on the large metal walls while standing on wooden logs, and the wall had six floors, and it also had two large elevators installed on the sides. And on the top, there were seven soldiers armed with sniper rifles observing outside of Canterlot.

Charlie then looked at Sunburst with a disorientate expression.

"Why do they need a wall mister Sunburst?" Charlie asked.

"I-I do not know." Sunburst said with a shake of his head "All I know is that they have been pressuring us to finish that wall for the last couple of days." He said with a depressed expression.

Charlie was very perplexed. Are the Chinese preparing for a war? Or are they trying to renovate this place as a new country?

Charlie shook all of the extraneous thoughts out of his head and resumed on focusing on his work.

Once he and Sunburst have arrived to the heavy duty bucket. They pushed the wheelbarrow upwards and filled the bucket with coal. After five seconds, the bucket was full and Charlie and Sunburst both slowly lowered the wheelbarrow on the ground. Then, two changelings lifted the heavy duty bucket and began to bring it to the left metal wall.

After that, Sunburst and Charlie pushed the wheelbarrow back to the coal pile to fill the wheelbarrow with coal again.

"Say Charlie." Sunburst said looking at him "How was your journey with my daughter?" He asked.

"It was okay." Charlie said with a shrug "We walked around the land and gained some knowledge about each other's culture and species." He finished.

"That's good to hear." Sunburst said with a smile. "What else did you guys do?" He asked.

"Well, we tried to get some assistance in the Kirin Village, Griffonstone Cloudsdale, Changeling Kingdom and dragon lands but, they all declined to accept the request we desideratum or asked because of what my kind has done to them." He said in sadness.

"Oh my, then we might not have a chance of retaking our land." Sunburst said with a disconsolated expression.

"Don't worry mister Sunburst, I'll think of a plan." Charlie assured him.

Before they could reach the coal pile with the wheelbarrow. A revving noise was heard, Charlie looked to his left and saw a green coloured military jeep driving towards them. But to the creatures, it was a metallic carriage of some sort.

The jeep came to a stop near two riot police units. A unit gripped onto the jeep's right door handle and pulled it open and saluted. Then, Colonel Línbǐngwén stepped out of the jeep.

"Shàngxiào! (Colonel!)" The two riot police units said with salutes.

Lin then walked up to the working area and observed his surroundings and saw that all of the creatures are doing an efficient work, but not too well because he can see that some of them are exhausted. And some were petrified. Then, Lin began to talk to all of the creatures.

"I have an announcement to declare everyone!" Lin told all of them.

Then the Ponies, Changelings, Griffons, Kirins, yaks, diamond dogs and dragons eyes widened. They all halted their work began to listen to the invader.

"The Lieutenant General is very interested with the three enemies all of you have defeated a while ago. So he is now organizing a sparring match with you all fighting against some of our new recruits in the military. And some are already in there fighting." Lin announced "Anyone want to volunteer?" He asked.

The ponies, yaks, changelings, dragons, diamond dogs, Kirins and griffons all kept themselves silent because they do not want to get injured.

When Lin noticed that he wasn't getting any volunteers out of any of the creatures, he began to state something else.

"And whoever beats one men, gets some of their food back, as well as two bottles of clean drinking water." Lin said.

When Sunburst heard this, he stood up and took the challenge.

"I'll go."

Starlight was shocked to hear that her husband volunteered on fight against the invaders. And Luster Dawn was showing signs of anxiety towards her father.

"Mister Sunburst." Charlie called him, and Sunburst looked back at him "Do not accept the challenge. Because to my accounts, it is very dubious." He told him. But Sunburt gave him an assured expression.

"It's alright. Besides, I can get some food for my wife and daughter."

Charlie tried to talk about this dispustable exertion but then, the Colonel interrupted him.

"Come here then!" Colonel Lin demanded.

"Okay." Sunburst said as he walked to the invader's location.

Starlight and Luster Dawn tried to reach out for him but two invaders armed with dark sticks held them back.

Once Sunburst has reached the invader, the invader pushed Sunburst in the passenger seat in the jeep. Then, the invader got on and sat in the driver's seat. And finally, Lin drove to the military headquarters.

Once Colonel Lin has drove back into the military headquarters car park, he got off the jeep with Sunburst and began to drag him to the sparring headquarters by his horn.

He walked up to the elevator and pressed the up button. Then the elevator began to come down to their location.

After fifteen seconds, the elevator has arrived at basement 2, and the doors slid opened. Then, Lin dragged Sunburst inside and pressed the 'B1' (Basement 1). After that, the elevator doors closed and it began to go to basement 1.

Once the elevator has arrived in basement 1, Lin dragged Sunburst out of the elevator and into the military sparring headquarters. After he has made a right turn, he encountered a swat unit.

"Tèjǐng bùduì An Da Mén, Zhège míng wèi sēn bó sī tè de dú jiǎo shòu yǐjīng tóngyì xiàng jūn fāng de yīxiē xīnbīng fāqǐ tiǎozhàn. Nǐ néng zǒu dào dàmén ma? (This unicorn named Sunburst has agreed to challenge some of the military's new recruits. Can you get over to the gate?)" Colonel Lin asked.

"Jiāo gěi wǒ lín shàngxiào. (Leave it to me Colonel Lin.)" Swat unit An said with a salute.

The Colonel nodded and let his grip go from Sunburst's unicorn horn and turned around and left.

Then, the swat unit grabbed Sunburst by his right hoof and began to drag him to the sparring headquarters.

After they have made another right turn, they have officially arrived in the sparring headquarters with four ponies, two changelings and two dragons in front of him. An pushed Sunburst to the crowd making him bump into a changeling, and giving him an indignant expression. After that, An turned around and resumed his duty on waiting for some new arrivals to the sparring headquarters.

Sunburst then squeezed through everypony so that he could observe the room.

Once he accomplished that, Sunburst began to observe the room. The room was as big as a castle hall and room, he looked forward and saw a square green mat on the floor as well as thirteen invaders in jungle suits sitting around it. There were also two invaders in the same jungle suits standing near the gate while wielding their monstrous weapons. And the room also had four red flag banners with five stars.

Sunburst tried to observe the room even more but then, a loud thud noise stopped him. He looked in front of him and saw an invader in a jungle suit lying on the mat, as if he has been punched. The invader stood back up and got into a battle stance while looking at somepony, Sunburst looked to his left and saw his friend Big Macintosh fighting against the invader.

"Big Macintosh." Sunburst whispered with a traumatized expression.

Once the invader has locked on to the red earth pony. He swung his right arm back and ran up to it with an enraged expression. When Big Macintosh noticed the attack, he jumped and delivered a back kick directly at the invader's chest. And the force of his kick made the invader grunt and fly back, after flying in the air for five seconds, the invader landed roughly onto the mat near two more units. And Big Mac claimed victory.

After the battle, a bag of their food and two water bottles were dropped onto the floor 11cm from the gate entrance.

When Big Macintosh heard the thud noises, he turned around and saw a bag of food and two water bottles dropped onto the floor. He smiled and walked up to the single bag of nourishment that will be enough to feed his wife and son, and the two water bottles that could reduce the level of their dehydration from the sweltering weather. Once he got to them, he picked them up with his hooves and looked at the leader of the invaders on the top large watch balcony.

"Thank you for the resources." Big Mac said with a bow of his head, but Jin disregarded him.

Then, Big Mac walked to the gate entrance of the sparring headquarters and pushed it open by himself. After that, he walked past everypony waiting and began to go back to his family in the work area.

Back on the watch balcony, Lieutenant General Jin An Rong was pleased when he saw the intense battle. But, he was a bit disenchanted when he witnessed one of the recruits losing to a pony. But still, he is a rookie.

"Lín shàngxiào. (Colonel Lin)"

"Zhōng jiàng xūyào shénme? (What do you need Lieutenant General?)" Lin asked with a salute.

"Wǒ xiǎng ràng nǐ gàosù wǒmen de yīgè rén bǎ sān gè shēngwù dài dào péiliàn diànzi shàng. Zhèyàng, wǒ kěyǐ xiàng xīnbīng zhǎnshì zhēnzhèng de zhàndòu qíngkuàng. Yīncǐ, xiànzài jiù gàosù yī míng shìbīng, jíshǐ tāmen shūle, yě yào gěi tāmen tāmen suǒ zhànyòng de zīyuán. (I want you to tell one our men to bring three creatures out on the sparring mats. That way, I can show the new recruits what a real fight looks like. So tell one of the soldier's now, and give them their resources we took even if they lose.)" Jin ordered with a smile.

"Luō jié nàgè zhōng jiàng. (Roger that Lieutenant General.)" Colonel Lin said with a salute.

After that, Lieutenant General Jin An Rong turned to his left and began to walk to the stairs that leads down to the sparring mat.

While Jin was doing that, Colonel Lin looked down at the two of his men guarding the gate and began to give the one on the right an order.

"Yong Zheng Liang, Yǔ zhōngwèi jiāng rènhé sān gè shēngwù dài dào sī pà. (Yong Zheng Liang, get any three creatures to spar with the Lieutenant General.)" Lin ordered.

"Shì, zhǎngguān. (Sir yes sir.)" Yong said with a salute. After that, he turned to the gate to pick which creatures the Lieutenant General to fight. After ten seconds, he has made up his decision.

"You, you and you." Yong said pointing at the orange male unicorn, green male changeling and dark blue female dragon. "Get on the mat." He demanded. And Sunburst let our a smile.

"Awesome, now's my chance to teach the invader a lesson." Sunburst thought.

After that, the soldier opened the gate and Sunburst, the male changeling and the female dragon all stepped into the sparring headquarters and onto the mat. And in front of them was the invader's leader. He has just folded his green uniform and placed it on the floor away from the mat and he was in his standard white business uniform.

Jin then walked onto the mat and starred at the unicorn, changeling and dragon with no signs of timidity towards the three creature because, he and his army including some swat units and police officers have also killed and enslaved many of their kind which proves that they are very frail.

Then, the three creatures got into a battle stance and prepared to fight the invader. And Sunburst was also readying his magic. After starring at each other for five seconds, the three creatures all charged towards the invader and prepared to spar.

The dark blue female dragon attempted to slash the invader in the face with her sharp and petrying claws. But Jin responded with a front kick to the her face, and the force of his kick knocked the dragon's teeth out and sent her flying off the mat.

Sunburst and the changeling both worked together when they witnessed the fallen dragon. Sunburst charged his horn and the changeling swung his right hoof back and attempted to blast and punch the invader in the chest at the same time.

When Jin noticed their attacks, he countered the magic and punch attempt with his wrists and sent two back kicks to their chests, and the changeling was sent crashing next to the dragon, and Sunburst was sent crashing to where he started.

The green changeling whispered to the female dragon and told her to stop fighting him by shaking his head. And the dragon bregrudingly had to cease.

But Sunburst wasn't going to give up that easily. He pushed himself back up and ran up towards the human again and attempted to punch him the the chest, but Jin blocked his attack with his right wrist. Sunburst then tried to back kick him in the face, but Jin dodged by ducking his entire body.

And when Jin noticed an open area on the ponies chest, he sent it a punch and Sunburst was sent flying a few feet up. After flying up a few seconds, he began to fall to the floor. When Jin noticed an exposed area on his back, he swung his right leg back and side kicked him in the back. And the force of his kick sent Sunburst flying back and onto the place where he started again.

Sunburst tried to stand up and fight again but, he coughed out blood and fell on the mat.

"Dude, you coughed out blood, stop fighting." The male changeling whispered to him.

After that, the male changeling and the female dragon both keeled and bowed their heads down.

"We accept defeat." They said in unison.

When Jin saw them surrendering, he shook his head discontentedly and turned around and began to walk back to the stairs to the watch balcony.

Sunburst wasn't going to capitulate to the human that easily. Instead, he stood up again and ran up to the human again with his left hoof swung back attempting to hit him in the back of his head.

"Yaaaaa!" Sunburst yelled.

When Jin felt the attack, he evaded the punch by moving his head to the left. Then he sent an elbow strike directly at Sunburst's head making him grunt and giving him a bleeding muzzle. Sunburst recovered quickly and tried to hit the human with a side kick to his chest. When Jin noticed the rash attempt, he punched the ponies hoof breaking it in the process.

"Augghhh!" Sunburst screamed in pain.

Finally, Jin wrapped his elbow around the unicorn's neck and brought him in close to his face.

"You want to die?" Jin asked in a hazardous tone.

Sunburst replied by looking at the human face to face and spitting his blood out directly at his face which received him a menacing glare.

"Nǐ zhège húndàn! (You vile bastard!)" Jin exclaimed in vexation.

After that, he released his hold of the unicorn and reverse kicked him in the face. The force of his kick sent him flying backwards and landing near the gate resulting in some contusions on his chest, a bleeding muzzle, bleeding hooves and a broken one as well.

"Sunburst!" The changeling and the dragon exclaimed in horror.

Then they rushed to his aid.

"Sunburst? Sunburst!" The changeling and the dragon tried to call him but he didn't respond because he is very wounded.

Jin wiped the unicorn's blood off of his face with a tissue. After he has done that, he looked at one the two soldiers in front of him.

"Nǐmen liǎng gè, bǎ zhè sān zhī dòngwù fàng huí gōngzuò qū wàimiàn. (You two, get these three animals back outside to the work area.)" Jin ordered.

"Shì, zhǎngguān! (Sir yes sir!)" The two soldiers said in unison with salutes.

After that, the two soldiers pulled the changeling and dragon up back on their hooves and legs, and Sunburst needed to be carried by Yong Zheng Liang since he was badly wounded by Jin, so he lifted him up on his back.

The soldier next to Yong began to push the changeling and dragon out of the sparring headquarters with his assault rifle.

Once they got to the gate, Yong pulled the gate open and exited the sparring headquarters with his colleague next to him. And the ponies, dragons and changelings were scandalized by the barbarous battle they personally witnessed.
