11:00pm

Back in Charlie and Luster Dawn's cell, the two ponies who have officially became special someponies were sitting on their cell's floor. And Luster Dawn was wiping away the blood stains on Charlie's hooves with a tissue.

"Look at your hooves Charlie." Luster Dawn said with a sorrowful expression "I told you not to go with the other leader of the army." She finished.

"It's fine Luster Dawn." Charlie assured her "Besides, I am one resilient human. I dealt with lots of stuffs back in my world." He told her.

"Really?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes." Charlie replied with a nod "I dealt with my own sickness myself, handled an altercation between my friends, as well as inventing gadgets." He told her, and Luster Dawn was astonished.

"Wow, you really did all of that on your own?" She asked with an astonished expression "Did your parents help you with anything?" She asked again.

When Charlie heard her asking about his parents. He immediately sobbed and shed a tear.

"What's wrong?" Luster Dawn asked with a worried expression

"M-my parents died Luster Dawn." Charlie said between sobs "My father was a firefighter captain who sacrificed himself while fighting a skyscraper fire. And my mother is a police tactical captain who died while protecting me and her team from a terrorist attack with her team. And I had to be on my own since I was six years old." He finished.

Luster Dawn was shaken when she heard about his backstory, she didn't know that Charlie has lost both of his parents. And being alone at a very young age must be very rough and distressing experience for him.

She then shook all of that out of her head and embraced Charlie in a hug and began to comfort him.

"I'm so sorry Charlie." Luster Dawn said nearly shedding a tear "I didn't know that you have went through all of these sad and painful moments since you were eight years old. And six years old is still very young." She finished.

Charlie sobbed and said "Thank you Luster Dawn. It's good to have a girl- er I mean special somepony like you."

Luster Dawn released herself from Charlie and pushed her lips onto his and they both shared a tender kiss. After ten seconds, they released and looked at each other with blushes on their cheeks.

"You are very welcome Charlie." She said with a smile. And Charlie replied with a chuckle.

Then, Luster Dawn got sad again and she looked on the floor in sorrow which perplexed Charlie.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing it's just that, I feel very bad for Applejack, Applebloom, Sugar Belle and their young son because, Big Macintosh has been killed by the second leader of invaders, and Applejack, Sugar Belle including her and Big Mac's son are crying endlessly while looking at the food bag with Big Mac's blood stains on it. Nopony deserves this." Luster Dawn told him sadly.

Charlie got infuriated as he remembered what the Colonel did to the red coloured earth pony. He shot him cold without authorization. And that proves that the Chinese army are being ruthless and out of the line with the creatures of Equestria.

"I remember that incident." Charlie said with a wrathful expression "I can't believe that they would do this, I had hope in redeeming the Lieutenant General and his platoon because of their exertions but, it looks like everything is clear." He finished.

"What is clear?" Luster Dawn asked perplexed.

"The Lieutenant General is definitely not going to have a simple negotiation with me." Charlie said feeling vexed "So this means that I have to find a way to get all of you out of this prison and out of Canterlot. Then, we will fight back against them." He finished sternly. And Luster Dawn gave him a nonchalant expression as if she wants revenge against the Chinese PLA.

"Agreed." Luster Dawn said with a nod and a smile "Since all of them killed many of my friends, they deserve a painful and daunting ramification. No mercy, no peace, this is war." She finished sternly. And Charlie gave her a proud expression.

Luster Dawn leaned her muzzle close to his and gave him a gentle nuzzle. And Charlie began to nuzzle her back, and the way he knows was because he saw animals mating in Wildlife Sydney back in his childhood. And he never knew that a nuzzle could be so soft and comfortable.

But the lovely event eventually ended when the metal door to their cell is being pulled open by someone.

When Charlie heard the door opening. He immediately turned around and began to defend Luster Dawn from whoever was behind the door. And when the door was fully opened, Charlie saw a soldier with a pistol in his holster. Charlie looked at the familiar soldier for a moment and saw that he was the one he and Luster Dawn encountered in the Changeling Kingdom, and after their arrest. And the soldier's name was Zhou Chang Min, a military Captain, he then gave him a glare.

"What do you want Zhou Chang Min?" He asked.

Zhou was nonplussed by him because the teenager or infiltrator still knows his name. And it is kinda obvious and expected because, he did introduce himself to them while in the Changeling Kingdom for about fifty seconds. He then shook the inconsequential thought out of his head and grabbed the chains between his cuffs.

"The Lieutenant General wants to see you." Zhou told him.

"Why?" He asked with a disorientate expression.

Zhou disregarded his inquiry and started dragging Charlie to the debriefing office where Lieutenant General Jin is.

Luster Dawn tried to follow them but the human soldier closed the cell door behind him making her cease in her track and looking down on the floor in sadness.

2 minutes 28 seconds later, Zhou has officially arrived at the debriefing room doors. He let go of the chains between Charlie's cuffs and pushed the doors opened. And first, he was met by a powerful beat and sound of a cantonese music.

Charlie looked forward and saw the Lieutenant General, and it looks like he is formulating on some sort of a battle plan considering the small materials he is seeing on the table.

Zhou then grabbed the chain between his cuffs again and pulled him in and closed the door behind him. After that, he stopped Charlie in his track and made him look at his Lieutenant General by moving the chains to the left.

Charlie observed the room and saw a circular meeting table in the middle with sixteen office chairs on the sides, it had a portable tripod projector at the front including a Window 8 laptop, and four Chinese flag banners stuck on the walls, with some words labelled beside one of them, and the words read 战争与复仇 (War and Revenge.) Charlie looked at the Lieutenant General and saw that he was not armed, he was just standing near the meeting table while looking down at the small materials, and he is wearing a white business uniform. Then, Jin An Rong turned off the music and began to speak to Charlie Lam.

"If you disobey my instructions again, I will begin to slaughter all of the creatures one by one because I need that wall as well as recording their combat skills to receive some more data of their kind, and what they are capable off." Jin warned him.

"The creatures need to be supplied with food and water." Charlie told him kindly.

"They'll get their food and water after they have finished their work." Jin told him in a neglecting tone.

"You have to supply them with food and water now, or they will die of starvation and dehydration, which means that they cannot finish their work." Charlie told him again, and Jin scoffed in irritation when he heard him restating the request.

"You know, you are very emotional." Jin said "What makes you think you are in a position to make demands and deals with me?" He asked, then he looked back down on the table and resumed his work.

When Zhou Chang Min noticed that the Lieutenant General was getting irked by Charlie's demands, he turned towards Charlie and said "Come on, let's go." But he was stopped when Charlie talked again.

"The walls your coercing the creatures to do, are they for protecting you guys in case of a dire and hazardous situation?" Charlie asked him "And are they also for keeping some other creatures outside from infiltrating your headquarters?" He asked again, and Jin was startled by his knowledge, he kept himself silent to see if he knows more about that wall.

"Because I saw men outside on those two walls armed with QBU-88 sniper rifles capable of firing 7.62 millimetre rifle rounds, observing the outside of Canterlot and preparing for a battle." Charlie said.

Jin An Rong was really amazed at the teenager's details he elaborated. He then turned around and looked at him.

"The Colonel told me that you are smart, but that is very impressive." He said.

"Obviously they will try to infiltrate your headquarters and take their friends back. You and your platoon as well as some police and swat officers destroyed their land, as well as killing some of their kind and friends." Charlie told him "You and your men started the battle in Ponyville and captured and killed many ponies, Griffons, dragons, yaks and many more, then you all started your raid in the capital Canterlot, and after you have defeated the ruler Princess Twilight Sparkle, you and your men have successfully conquered the land." He finished which surprised Zhou.

Jin was truly amazed by Charlie's specific detail about him and his men's raid in Equestria again. It was like he is a mind reader, or maybe he has been gathering some information from the wanted fugitive Luster Dawn.

"Holy moly you are sagacious. (Tiān nǎ, nǐ hěn jīzhì.)" Jin said with an impressed expression "Tell me kid, what do you picture me of my supremacy?" He asked as he turned around and focused on his work again.

"I think, you have no leniency." Charlie replied.

When Jin heard his words, he ceased his work again and turned around and looked at the disconsolated Charlie Lam, then he walked up to him and starred at him face to face.

"You came here to kill me." Jin said "Were you gonna show me leniency?" He asked.

"I showed you leniency when I spared your men." Charlie told him, and Jin remembered how they all returned with a few minor bruises "I offered you peace, as well as a pacific negotiation. In the end, you kept sending more men after me and Luster Dawn, and she got injured by one of the police officers as well." He finished, and Jin was showing no signs of pity or sorrow towards Charlie.

When Charlie noticed that Jin was ignoring him again in a scornful manner, he began to ask him some inquiries he has on why he and his platoon were doing this to the creatures of Equestria.

"Besides, what is the point of all of this savage brutality?" Charlie asked "The creatures here are loving and peaceful, they did not even do anything to you guys." He told him.

When Jin heard this, he sighed and walked to the table. Then, he opened his window 8 laptop and turned it on. Once it was on, he clicked on 'my computer', then typed in my files. Once his files was shown, he began to type in a video for Charlie to watch.

"Loving and peace, do you have any idea what their loving and peace has done to us?" He asked while scrolling down to find the suitable video. And Charlie was perplexed by his words. "They're much stronger than we are, smart as hell, and no matter what you say they'll eventually replace us because that's the law of nature. The irony is we have all created everything, we tried to defy nature bend it to our will, and nature has been punishing us for our arrogance ever since." He told him.

"What do you mean?" Charlie asked feeling bewildered.

Jin then found the right video for him to witness. He clicked on it and it began to load. Then, he turned around and walked to Charlie with the laptop screen facing in front of him which made him even more perplexed.

"And it is also quite obvious that you never heard of the news of what has happened in our country because, our government has forced foreign reporters out of our country and telling them to delete every footage they have recorded. Maybe this video that only the Chinese government and military have access to will reveal everything. And you will know why we are invading this land." He said. After that, he clicked on the touchpad and a news video was played.

Charlie saw what looks to be like the intro of TVB news from Hong Kong. After two seconds, a lady was shown sitting on a chair while starring at a screen.

"Tú fā xīnwén, zhōngguó dàlù de shǒudū běijīng bèi bùmíng shēnfèn de wǔqì yǎngài. Zhè shì zhèngzài fāshēng de shìqíng de jìngtóu. (Breaking news, mainland China's capital Beijing was obliterated by an unidentified weapon. Here's a footage of what is happening.)" The news lady said, and Charlie got confused, but what was shown next horrified him.

A video of an obliterated city was shown in Beijing with many firefighters, paramedics, soldiers and police officers moving debrises desperately trying to look for survivors. Then, the news lady was shown again.

"这次伤害和未知的袭击夺走了数百万人的生命, 数千人受伤, 其中还包括儿童. 我们暂时暂时停播广告, 敬请期待. (The damage and unknown attack has taken over millions of lives and thousands injured, children included as well. We're going to take a short advertisement break for now, stay tuned for more.)" The news lady finished. Then, the video ended.

Charlie was truly awestruck and transfixed when he heard the news report. The creatures were the ones who instigated all of this? But, he pushed that out of his head, refusing to believe the news.

"Now you know everything." Jin said ad he turned around and placed his laptop back on the meeting table.

"It was the creatures of this land who provoked all of this havoc to themselves." He said while looking at him. Then, he began to specify more about the incident.

"Once we got reports that Beijing was obliterated, the General sent me and his men there." He said "And when we got there, it was all rubble, smoke and toppled buildings. We then began to look for survivors, we moved debris and found no one. Then, one of my men contacted me in my radio and told me that he has received reports from a paramedic instructor from the paramedic academy told him that my son, who is also a paramedic was in Beijing along with his colleagues, and they said that he must be gone. When I heard this, I denied to believe because my son is a strong and smart paramedic, but the police force confirmed my worst nightmare. And he was just like you when he was about your age, kind, brave and generous." He stated.

"And you talk about leniency and peace?" Jin asked pointing his finger at Charlie with an angry expression "What would you have done?" He asked angrily.

Charlie tried to say something back but, the details that Jin stated were very depressing. So he could only look down on the floor in sorrow.

"It all came down to the moment that I have to track down the source of this attack to avenge my son and the ripped families, so we began to do a quick sweep." Jin told him "After searching about an hour and a half, one of my men called me and said that he has found something very intriguing. I ran to his location and saw that he was pointing at a very bizarre glowing pink substance. The soldier grabbed a sample of it and gave it to one of our scientist's to do some studies on it. After two weeks of waiting, the scientist got some results, and he stated that this newly discovered substance was magic. At first, it was a bit unbelievable but, when we placed the substance on a scanner, we found out that it belonged to an unknown land and dimension called Equestria, a place filled with ponies, unicorns, weird eagles with a lion body, large insects, yaks and many other unique and bizarre creatures. After that, we reported this to the General and he got infuriated when he heard that it was the creatures of Equestria who destroyed the capital and taking away many innocent lives, he then ordered me to lead some of my men to the land since I was the one who reported to him. I then agreed and began to ready my men for the upcoming fight ahead of us, we did firearms, combat, field and many more trainings as well as sending some spies to the land to gather some informations first about the land's creatures as well as the ruler Princess Twilight Sparkle with our teleporter, and it was her and her kind and friends who caused all of this destruction to our capital, as well as taking away many innocent lives. After one month of training, me and my platoon were ready. We armed ourselves with firearms, melee weapons, protective vests, helmets and many more. We then got on tanks, attack helicopters, trucks, technical vehicles and jeeps and drove into the land through some portals with some teleportation devices our engineers and scientists have invented, which is very ridiculous. And we have used the magic substance as a power source and activated some portals. Then, that is when all of the mass destruction started." He finished.

Charlie was truly awestruck and disconsolated to hear that it was the creatures of the land who provoked all of this to them but, this wasn't the way to solve a problem.

"I understand your pain and agony but, will revenge bring your son back?" Charlie asked in a logical sense.

Jin scoffed and said "Of course it won't bring my son back but, at least he will be avenged by the time I decide to kill all of them."

Charlie tried to add something about this altercation the Chinese are having but he had nothing to delineate or talk about so he kept his mouth shut. Then, Jin walked up to him face to face again.

"Look at you, you think I'm barbaric don't you?" Jin asked taking notice of his depressed and fearful mixed expression on him.

"I didn't mean to get my men to hurt your girlfriend Luster Dawn." He told him with no signs of sorrow "But if it was her destiny for her, her cattle friends and her kind to be conquered by us, then I'm glad I did." Jin finished in a cold tone.

When Charlie heard this, he got angry and pushed Jin back, and Jin fell on the floor roughly. Charlie attempted to walk up to him and hit him again but Zhou grabbed his cuffs and aimed his pistol at his head.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Zhou yelled.

Jin slowly stood up after that unexpected attack and glared at Charlie.

"Your so emotional!" Jin exclaimed indignantly "You see how conflicted you are? Your confused in your purpose, you are angry at me for something I did that was an act of war, but your taking this all much too personally! What do you think, my men would do to your girlfriend and the creatures if you'd kill me? Or is killing me more significant?" He asked.

When Charlie heard his words, he ceased himself and backed off and self controlled his anger.

Jin didn't even want to talk to the overreacting teenager anymore. He looked at Zhou and began to give him an order.

"Ràng tā yuǎnlí wǒ de liǎn, zhège àomàn ér fǎnyìng guòdù de báichī yǐjīng zúgòu sāorǎo wǒ. (Get him outta my face, this arrogant and overreacting idiot has harassed me enough.)" Jin ordered bitterly.

"Shì, zhǎngguān. (Sir yes sir.)" Zhou said with a salute. After that, he grabbed the chain between his cuffs and began to pull him back to his cell. But, he was ceased when Charlie spoke up again.

"The creatures of the land did not establish this war." Charlie told him "But I will put an end to it." He finished sternly.

Jin scoffed and said "Good luck with that."

After that, Zhou grabbed the chain between his cuffs again and began pulling him back to his cell.
