Zhou Chang Min has been dragging Charlie back to his jail cell for two minutes now. And to his great surprise, he never spoke. He kept himself silent during the whole walk.

While walking, Charlie's mind was filled with dread, depression and inquiries after the meeting with the Lieutenant General. The ponies the ones who started all of this havoc? Did they really destroyed Beijing? How many were killed?

"What is the meaning of this? Did the creatures of the land really destroy China's capital Beijing? How many did they kill? Is this vengeance?" Charlie asked in his mind, but he pushed that out of his head and began to find himself "Even if that is true, The Chinese shouldn't have invaded the peaceful land. Retribution never solves a problem like this, I have to put an end to this war." He finished sternly.

Five seconds later, Zhou has finished dragging Charlie Lam back to his cell door. He unlocked it and pulled it open, Charlie looked in front of him and saw Luster Dawn sitting on the floor as if she was desperately waiting for him to return.

Zhou then walked behind him and pushed Charlie with his right hand. Charlie staggered back in with an indignant expression. After that, Zhou closed the door after returning Charlie back into his and Luster Dawn's cell. And Luster Dawn immediately ran up to Charlie and kissed him in the lips, and this time Charlie kissed back.

After ten seconds, they released and chuckled.

"What did the leader of the invaders do to you Charlie?" Luster Dawn asked.

When Charlie heard her inquiry, he decided not to tell her about what the Lieutenant General said to him because, he doesn't wants her to be disconsolated or demoralized over what he had watched on the Lieutenant General's laptop, as well as him giving out some details on why he and his platoon were invading the land.

"Not much, just gave me a warning about what will happen if I neglect or defy his orders." Charlie lied.

Luster Dawn giggled from his remark.

"Now that's funny, and there is no way that you will comply with him right?" She asked.

"Of course not, I am not like him and his platoon. And I am definitely not from his country." Charlie stated with a shake of his head.

"I am glad to have a special somepony like you." Luster Dawn said as she embraced Charlie in a hug, and Charlie hugged back.

"Me too Luster Dawn."

After ten seconds, they released each other.

"Come on, let's go to bed because we have some work to do tomorrow." Charlie told her.

"Okay." Luster Dawn said with a nod.

After that, they stood up from the floor and began to walk to the bed. Luster Dawn climbed on it first and had her muzzle against the wall. Charlie was going to climb on after her but suddenly, he felt a small slab move ride under the bed. And the sound also attracted Luster Dawn.

"Huh? What was that?" Charlie asked looking under the bed.

"What is it Charlie?" Luster Dawn asked looking under the bed.

Charlie activated his horn a little, bent down and illuminated under the bed. Charlie then began to scrutinize what was under the bed, when his eyes traveled down, he saw six lose slabs that probably leads to the sewers where they entered. He then turned off his flashlight and looked at Luster Dawn with a smile on his muzzle.

"Luster Dawn, there are six lose slabs under our bed that probably leads to the sewers." Charlie told her.

Luster Dawn's eyes shot opened when she heard the information.

"Wait really?!" Luster Dawn exclaimed happily.

"Shhhhh! We don't to attract any attention from the riot police outside." Charlie told her.

"Oh! Sorry." Luster Dawn said in a quiet tone. "So what's the plan?" She asked.

Charlie thought for a moment then came up with a great idea.

"Okay listen up." Charlie said, and Luster Dawn began to listen "By tomorrow after we are finished with our work, we can remove the slabs under the bed at night and jump back into the sewers. After that, we can break everypony else out by going under their cell's faulty slabs and removed them silently. We'll start with Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends first, then the rest. Then, we will exit Canterlot from the place where we entered through the planks. And then, we can try and recruit and confront the others across the land again with the help of Twilight Sparkle. And finally, we can gather together and fight back against the Chinese and take your land back." He stated.

Luster Dawn was truly astonished by Charlie's field of study. His IQ level is like straight off the chart.

"That's a great plan Charlie." Luster Dawn said with a smile.

"Thank you, we can commence it tomorrow. But first, we will have to tell everyone about it tomorrow as well." Charlie told her.

"Agreed."

"Alright, now let's go to bed." Charlie said as he tucked his flashlight back in one of his pockets.

Luster Dawn skidded to her left a little so that Charlie can climb on the bed.

Charlie then climbed onto the bed and lied next to Luster Dawn. Then, he pulled the covers on them and tightly embraced.

"Goodnight Luster Dawn."

"Goodnight Charlie."

But before they slept, they shared another tender kiss.

The next day

Charlie and Luster Dawn began to spread the news to everyone working in Canterlot. They started with yaks first and they were very exhilarated. For second, they told the changelings and they couldn't wait to return back home to the Changeling Kingdom. Third, they told the dragons, and they just couldn't wait to claim revenge against the invaders along the Kirins and diamond dogs. And finally, they reported this to the ponies, and they had the same reactions as everyone else.

"Wow, really?" Twilight asked with an exhilarated smile.

"Indeed Princess Twilight Sparkle." Charlie said with a nod "We can instigate the escape tomorrow." He told her.

"Nice, I can't wait to kick the invaders butts." Rainbow Dash said contentedly.

"Charlie Lam, I appreciate all of the help that you have given us." Twilight said with a grateful smile "How can I ever thank you?"

"Eh no sweat." Charlie said while rubbing the back of his head "Besides, I endow succour and support to those in need." He finished.

"Thank you for everything." Said Twilight's friends, and Charlie replied with a nod.

But suddenly, two riot police units wearing gas masks and armed with anti-riot guns walked up to them and aimed their metal weapons directly at the ground near them. Then, Charlie stepped forward in front of Luster Dawn and sent the two units a glare.

"What do you two want?"

The two officers disregarded his inquiry and one of them talked.

"This is not a tropical resort. Get back to work, or else you will have to breath in these tear gases." He said gripping onto the trigger.

When Charlie saw that the two units were about to fire out some tear gases from their anti-riot guns. He slowly activated his horn to prepare for a fight, but then, a loud yell was heard.

"Nǐmen liǎng gè zhàn xiàlái! (Stand down you two!)"

When the two riot police units heard the intimate voice. They immediately lowered their weapons and stepped aside and saluted.

Charlie looked in front of him and saw the Lieutenant General walking towards him and his friends. He stopped 4cm in front of Charlie and gave him an assured smile, but Charlie found it awkward because he was very scornful yesterday.

"What do you want?" Charlie growled.

"Ease it out kid. I just want to talk." Jin told him "Since the day you've infiltrated the land and resisted the Chinese army and police force, you have been a dead man. But, when I witnessed the sparring event you had with ten of the new recruits, I was impressed, and you sure are talented. So I will make a fair deal, if you edify my platoon of your martial arts you have learned, I will tell my men to open up the teleportation machine we have invented and let you go back to Australia like none of this has happened. Sounds like a great deal eh?" He asked.

When Charlie heard this, he replied by sending him a menacing glare.

"You think that I will accept that vile deal? After what you and your platoon have done to this land and it's creatures just for some selfish revenge?" Charlie asked in a hazardous tone "I would rather stay here and die." He said.

When Jin heard his reply, he chuckled vily.

"Then your wish will be granted." Jin said as he reached out for his pistol in his holster.

When Twilight noticed the invader reaching out for it's metal weapon, she immediately stood up and looked at him face to face. And her exertion made Jin cease his attempt. The two riot police units were about to aim their tear gas guns at her but Jin stopped them again by raising his right hand.

"I wasn't talking to you Princess Twilight stupid." Jin insulted.

When Twilight's friend heard the invader insulting Twilight, they stood up and attempted to fight him but Twilight stopped them by raising her hoof, and her friends sat back down.

"Insult me all you want invader. But I will make sure that you will never harm my subjects ever again." She told him menacingly.

Jin laughed at her remark.

"Hahaha! Like you've got guts to stand up against me, your just a dumb Princess with low education in technology and combat fields." Jin mocked "Besides, it's not like you have the guts to fight me, you've lost to me once." He finished, and his sentence earned him a glare from her.

"You think I don't have guts?" Twilight asked "If you want to see my true power, then why don't you witness it in a one on one fight against me?" She asked again, and her friend starred at her with so much anxiety in them.

"You want to fight me?" Jin asked with a surprised expression. And Twilight replied with a nod.

"Twilight! What are you thinking? You're too exhausted to even fight." Rainbow Dash told her.

"Yeah, not to mention how the invader beat you the last couple of days since his arrival and the slavery experience." Pinkie said feeling neurotic along with Cheese.

"Twilight, this is not a good idea." Sunburst and Starlight said in unison.

"You'll get wounded again." Fluttershy and Applejack said in unison.

"Please don't go Twilight." Spike and Rarity begged in unison.

Twilight then turned around and looked at her friends and gave them an assured expression.

"Don't worry girls, I've fought worse along with you all remember?" She asked.

"You are confident Princess I'll give you that, so if you want to fight me, then you can fight me for free." He said.

Twilight turned around again and looked at the invader with no fear towards it.

"I guess you have accepted the challenge then." Twilight said "If I win, you'll have to let my subjects go." She finished.

"Okay, but if you loose, you will continue working along with your cretinous and weak subjects." He told her.

"Deal." She said.

Jin scoffed and said "Then let's go."

After that, Jin grabbed Twilight's chain between her cuffs and pulled her up on her hooves. Then, he began to drag her to his jeep.

Once he got there, he gripped onto the passenger seat door and pulled it open. Then, he pushed Twilight inside and closed the door. After that, Jin got into the driver seat and began to drive to the military headquarters.

Twilight's friends as well as Charlie and Luster Dawn were very anxious towards Twilight, because the invader would immediately knock her down if she tried to fight. But with her magic by her side, it would be more feasible. But they still don't know of they have enough energy to use them. So for now, they have to wait and see.
