Future Twilight Sparkle: How the Magic of Friendship grows.
One month later, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has invaded Equestria. They came through some portals with tanks, trucks, jeeps, helicopters, fighter jets, guns and many more advanced and petrifying technologies.
They first instigated their raid in Ponyville to capture and arrest some of the creatures residing there. And they managed to capture some ponies, eagles with long hooves, sharp claws and long tails, and many more. But some managed to escape. The ones they arrested were placed inside the trucks, but to the ponies, they were sitting on a metallic four wheels carriage that can go without anypony pulling it.
After Ponyville, they then began to hunt down their main target Princess Twilight Sparkle.
The entire army marched their way to the lands capital Canterlot. And once they were there, they encountered five ponies in armour wielding wooden spears. Then one of the ponies yelled at them.
"Do not come any more closer invaders! Or else we will resort to using our ma-"
The guard wasn't able to finish his sentence when one of the aliens shot him in the head with it's smaller metal weapon. Then the guard fell on the floor dead with blood pouring out of his head which traumatized the four remaining guards.
One of the aliens looked back at his platoon and yelled "Xiàng qián chōngdiàn! (Charge forward!)"
Then all of the invaders charged forward towards the capital with some mechanical vehicles behind them.
One of the guards looked in front of him in agitation when he saw many of the alien invaders charging towards them. He then turned around and looked at three of his men and began to instruct them.
"Retreat back into the castle everypony!" The guard ordered.
The three guards did what they were told and retreated back to the castle.
When one of the alien's noticed the ponies escaping, he aimed his smaller weapon directly at them and fired three shots.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
But all of them missed and the ponies made it safely back into the castle.
"Gāisǐ de! (Damn it!)" The alien exclaimed.
The commander of the alien platoon stepped foot into the large capital and took a quick observation around the place and saw that there were no ponies or other creatures residing here, but he wouldn't just disregard it that easily, he then looked at his comrade on his right.
"Línbǐngwén shàngxiào (Colonel Lin Bing Wen.)"
When the colonel heard his lieutenant General calling him, he immediately faced him and saluted.
"Xiānshēng, shénme shì? (What is it sir?)" Bing Wen asked.
"Wǒ xūyào nín zhàojí yīxiē wǒmen de rényuán, bìng zài gāi dìqū kuàisù sǎo yī sǎo, yǐ zhèngshí cǐ chù méiyǒu shēngwù duǒcáng. Rúguǒ fāxiàn yīxiē, jiāng qí dàibǔ, rúguǒ yīxiē shìtú táopǎo, jiāng qí shèjí. (I need you to gather some of our men and do a quick sweep around the area to corroborate that there are no creatures hiding here. If you find some, arrest them, if some tries to flee, shoot them.)" He ordered.
"Luō jié·jīn zhōng jiàng (Roger that Lieutenant general Jin.)" Colonel Lin said as he saluted "Dànshì, nǐ huì zuò shénme? (But, what will you be doing?)" He asked.
"Wǒ yào sā xiē xiǎo mǎ xuè. (I'm going to shed some pony blood.)" He replied as he walked towards the large castle.
Colonel Lin Bing Wen turned around and faced his men.
"Hǎo nánrén! Tīng hǎole! (Alright men! Listen up!)"
When the soldiers heard their colonel, they immediately faced him and saluted.
"Wǒ yǐjīng jiē dào zhōngwèi de mìnglìng! Érqiě tā xūyào wǒmen kuàisù liúlǎn gāi dìqū, kàn kàn zhèlǐ shìfǒu hái yǒu qítā cángnì de shēngwù bèi lǐjiě? (I've got orders from our lieutenant general! And he needs us to do a quick sweep around the area to see if there are any more creatures hiding here understood?)"
"Shì, zhǎngguān! (Sir yes sir!)" The platoon saluted. Then they commenced their obligation.
Lieutenant General Jin An Rong has made it to the castle's front doors. He gripped onto one of it's handle and pushed it opened but it wouldn't budge, he must assume that it has been locked from the inside. He then began to scrutinize the door and saw that it can be broken down by standard explosives.
"Wǒ de shǒuliúdàn kěyǐ jiějué zhège wèntí. (My hand grenade can take care of this.)" Jin said to himself. He then turned around and kept his distance from the doors.
Once he saw that he was in a safe distance, he pulled out one of his hand grenade from his belt. After that, he pulled the pin on the grenade and rolled it forward, and the grenade came to a stop at the doors. Three seconds later, the grenade exploded.
*BOOM!*
And the doors have been destroyed.
Jin then walked forward towards the castle and entered it through the obliterated doors. Then, he was met with five armoured ponies. Three were wielding spears, and two were unarmed. Then one of the ponies aimed his spear at him.
"Give it up invader! You are outnumbered!" The guard told him.
Jin smiled and unholstered his pistol. Then, he began to communicate with the ponies in English.
"That may be true, but you are out matched."
The five guards were shocked when they heard the invader speaking Equestrian. They didn't even know what the hay he is or where he came from. One of the guards shook his head and glared at the creature.
"Fine then, have it your way! And you'll pay for the blood you and your kind shed in Ponyville." The guard growled, he then turned around and looked at his men. "Men! Make this creature pay for what he has done!"
"Yes sir!"
Then the leader of the guards charged up towards the invader with his spear pointed at it's chest area. But then, he was met with a front kick to the face, and the force of it's kick sent the guard flying halfway across the hallway and landing on the floor roughly with a bleeding muzzle.
The four remaining guards were traumatized when they saw their fallen captain. Then they starred at the invader with scandalized expression.
"Attack it!"
Then the four remaining guards charged towards the invader letting out some battlecries. The two armed guards aimed their spear directly at the invader's face.
When Jin noticed the ponies impulsive attempt, he jumped up in the air and sent two strong back kicks directly at their muzzles and they were direct kicks. One was sent crashing onto a wooden chair, and the force of his fall broke it. And the other was sent crashing into the wall, the force was so strong that he got stuck in it.
One of the unarmed guard engaged in combat with the invader unknowing what it is capable of. He swung his right hoof back and attempted to hit it in the chest. When Jin noticed the temerarious attempt. He grabbed the ponies hoof and judo flipped him on the ground which made him crash into the floor roughly and making him cough out blood.
The final guard began to tremble in feart when he saw the invader taking out his captain and four of his comrade. And when the invader turned around and faced him, he immediately turned around and began to run away.
Jin wasn't going to let the pony get away that easily.
He then ran up to the wall next to the pony and jumped towards it. After that, he placed his left foot on the wall and wall kicked the pony directly at it's face. And the force of his kick sent the guard sliding on the floor roughly with a bleeding nose which made Jin smile in satisfaction.
The guard slowly tried to crawl away from the invader.
Jin wasn't even going to give the pony the chance to escape again. He then placed his right foot on his back and pulled the ponies right front hoof back which made him yelp in pain.
"Shì ma nǐ de xiǎo mǎ yǒu duō qiáng? (Is that it? Is this how strong you ponies are?)" Jin asked in mockery.
The guard didn't reply to his question because he doesn't even knows what the hay he was saying. Jin then reached into his right pocket with his right hand and pulled out a piece of paper report. He unfolded it and showed it to the pony.
"Your Princess!" He yelled in English, but the guard wasn't looking at it. Jin then smacked the pony in the face with the paper making him look at it, and the guard got perturbed when he saw what was on the paper. It was a picture of Princess Twilight Sparkle along with some of her friends and her student Luster Dawn.
"Hey! Your Princess! Where is she!?" Jin demanded.
"I don't know!" The guard replied to the invader anxiously.
"If you don't tell me I'm going to break your hoof." The invader told him as he pulled the ponies hoof even more making him scream in pain again. Then the guard blurted everything out.
"She's in the throne room in front of you in the left door!" The guard cried.
"Hǎo háizi. (Good boy.)" Jin said with a smile. After that, he kneed the guard's hoof with his titanium knee pad, and the guard's hoof immediately broke from the force.
"Auugghhh!"
After that, Jin walked towards the throne room.
Inside Twilight Sparkle's throne room, Luster Dawn was crying endlessly in front of her mentor Princess Twilight Sparkle. And she and her friends tried their best to cheer her up.
"Don't worry Luster Dawn. It's not your fault." Twilight said in a comforting tone.
Luster sobbed and said "I know but, I don't know where that m-"
Luster Dawn wasn't able to finish her sentence when the doors to Twilight's throne room were pushed opened loudly. Everypony in the room turned around and saw a very unique bipedal being they have never seen before. It was wearing a green suit, it has dark armor on it's chest level, a dark helmet was strapped onto it's head, it has a mask covering it's mouth and it also had metal pads strapped onto him.
Spike was the first to react when he saw the unknown invader. He walked up to him with a spear aimed directly at it's face, but the invader showed no signs of anxiety. And Spike was very startled by the invader's height. Because he was almost as tall as him and Twilight. But then, he shook the irrelevant subject out of his head and interrogated the creature.
"Who are you invader? And how can you barge into Princess Twilight Sparkle's throne room in a disrespectful manner?" Spike demanded an answer out of it.
The invader replied by pulling out a piece of paper out of it's pocket and unfolding it. Then, he showed it to him and pointed at an image.
"Is this you sir?" The invader asked.
Spike looked at where the invader was pointing at, and what he saw traumatized and petrified him because there was a picture of his face in the paper. And the view got him very disorientate as well because how does the invader have a picture of him? And where was it from? Has it been spying on him and his friends without them knowing? Spike then began to communicate with the invader.
"Uh... yeah. That is me sir, and what a-"
Spike wasn't able to finish his sentence when the invader elbow striked him in the face. And Spike was sent crashing onto the floor roughly with a bruised face, and one of his teeth fell out as well from the metal pad. And everypony in the room were shocked at the invader's exertion.
"Spike!"
Rainbow Dash then sent the invader a petrifying glare.
"Why you! Your going to pay for that!" Rainbow Dash said spreading her wings then she flew directly towards it.
When Rainbow Dash closed the distance between herself and the invader, she swung her right hoof back and attempted to punch it in the face. The invader responded by grabbing her hoof and throwing her upwards and down onto the floor roughly making her grunt in pain.
Rarity and Pinkie Pie were infuriated when they saw the invader injuring their friend. They then charged directly towards the invader letting out some battlecries.
Jin then turned around and saw a white unicorn and pink earth pony charging towards them in an incredible speed. The white pony was the first to reach the invader. She jumped up and attempted to kick it in the face. When Jin noticed the attack, he responded with a punch to the female unicorn's chest, and the force of his punch made the female unicorn grunt and crashing into her pink friend knocking them out cold in the process. After that, Jin resumed walking towards his priority target Princess Twilight Sparkle.
When Applejack and Fluttershy noticed that they were the only ones left to defend their friends. They got into stances and charged themselves directly towards the invader. And when Jin noticed their temerarious attempt, he jumped up and delivered two back kicks at their faces which sent them flying. Fluttershy was sent crashing into the wall, and Applejack was sent flying out of the window.
Twilight looked at her fallen friends with a disquiet expression and saw that Rarity, Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were rolling on the floor with so much soreness on their bodies and Lil Cheese was checking on his mother, and she doesn't knows what was happening to Applejcak since she got flung out of the window. Twilight then heard some running noises coming precisely towards her. She looked up in front of her and saw the invader charging towards her.
Once Jin closed his distance between himself and Princess Twilight Sparkle, he jumped up in the air and delivered an excruciating back kick to her chest. And the force of his kick sent Twilight sliding on the floor roughly with a bruised chest. Jin smiled in satisfaction after that attack. Then, he slowly approached the weak Princess.
Twilight tried to get up again and fight but then somepony placed their hoof on her chest. Twilight looked up and saw the invader looking down at her and pinning her onto the floor. Twilight tried to force herself to get up again but it was unavailing.
"Shènzhì bùbì fèixīn chángshì gōngzhǔ, nín jiāng jīnglì gèng duō de tòngkǔ shìjiàn. (Don't even bother to try Princess, you'll just go through more events of agony.)" Jin told her, but Twilight has no idea what he was saying.
Jin raised an eyebrow when he saw her perplexed expression. He then came to a realization.
"Ó, duìle, nín hé nín nàxiē cuìruò ér fāfēng de shēngwù bù huì shuō huò tīng bù dǒng zhōngwén. Zài zhèlǐ, ràng wǒ wèi nín fānyì yīngyǔ. (Oh right, you and your fragile and cretinous creatures of yours don't speak or understand Chinese. Here, let me translate in English for you.)" He told her.
Jin then cleared his throat and said "Don't even bother to try Princess, you'll just go through more events of agony."
Twilight's eyes widened when she heard the invader speaking Equestrian. Who and what is it? And why is it here? Before Twilight could ask the invader some inquiry on why it was doing this to her and her friends. The invader pulled out some sort of black object. It has holes in front and a circle stick attached on it's top, it also had buttons on it's left side. Then, it began to speak into it.
"Lín shàngxiào jìnlái. (Colonel Lin come in.)" The invader said in a deep voice which sent chills down to Twilight's spine. There was a few moments of static then a reply.
"Lín shàngxiào shì jìn zhōng jiàng. Xiānshēng, nín mùqián de zhuàngkuàng rúhé? (Colonel Lin here lieutenant general Jin. What is your current situation sir?)"
Jin then clicked on a button on his walkie talkie and sent a reply back.
"Wǒ yǐjīng chénggōng zhànlǐngle yōuxiān mùbiāo mù guāng shǎnshǎn gōngzhǔ. Lìjí jiāng wǒmen de rényuán sòng dào zhèlǐ. Bìng tóngshí liánxì tèjǐng duì hé jǐngchá, yīnwèi wǒmen xūyào tāmen de bāngzhù cáinéng zài jiānyù hé gōngzuò zhōng jiānshì tāmen. (I have successfully occupied our priority target Princess Twilight Sparkle. Send our men here right now. And contact the police force on the way as well because we need their assistance to watch them while in prison and working.)" He replied.
There were another few moments of static then another reply.
"Wǒmen hěn kuài jiù huì dào zhōng jiàng nàlǐ. Chúle yīxiē xiǎo mǎ, niú, nàxiē guàiyì de lóng dōngxī, chóngzi děng děng. (We'll be there shortly lieutenant general. Along with some ponies, yaks, those weird dragon things, bugs and many more.)" Colonel Lin said.
"Hǎo, yībiàn yòu yībiàn. (Good, over and out.)"
After that, lieutenant General Jin An Rong tucked his walkie talkie back into his belt and sent Princess Twilight Sparkle a hazardous glare.
"Now, be a good girl and wait until my men arrive." Jin said in a hazardous tone which made Twilight swallow a lump.
Fourty minutes later, Jin's men have arrived in Twilight Sparkle's castle along with the police force. The members of the Chinese army have captured many creatures of the land while scrutinizing the capital as they were instructed to do. And some members of the Chinese swat and police officers have cuffed the ponies, dragons, yaks, bugs, eagles with bodies of a lion and lion tails.
Jin An Rong stepped on the large steps near the throne chair and looked at the creatures of Equestria. He then gave them his speech in English.
"Alright! Listen up all you frail and vile creatures!" Jin yelled. Then all of the creatures in the throne room looked up at the leader of the invaders.
"All of you are now our prisoners. And the reason for that is because all of you have provoked damages to our capital, nearly destroying it and taking away many innocent lives as well as many casualties! So now, all of you will be enslaved in your own capital and will build a city here!" Jin An Rong yelled.
"But... we didn't even do anything to you!" A mare yelled in the crowd.
When Jin heard the voice. He looked down to his left and saw that it was a yellow coloured mare who said that to him. He looked at one of his men next to her and gave him and order.
"Chénwénchéng, chǔjué tā. (Chan Wen Cheng, execute her.)" Jin An Rong ordered.
Chen Wen Cheng did what his Lieutenant General ordered him to do and walked up to the yellow coloured female pony. He then bent down and grabbed her right front hoof.
"Bēibǐ de jiāhuo lái zhèlǐ! (Come here you vile moron!)" Chen said as he dragged the female pony. And the mare pleaded the invader to spare her with tears rolling down her cheeks.
"No! No! No! Please! Please I'm sorry! I won't talk back ever again!" The mare cried, but it was too late. The invader that dragged her pulled out a small metal weapon out of it's holder and aimed it at her head. Then he pulled a button on it and a loud noise was produced.
*BANG!*
Then the mare fell on the floor dead with blood pouring out of her head.
Everypony panicked when they saw somepony killed by one of the invaders. But all of them were silenced when one of the alien's fired a tumultuous shot out of it's deadly weapon allowing it's leader to speak.
"That was an example of your repercussion if you are disobedient!" The invader's leader yelled.
Twilight and her friends desperately wanted to help her subjects escape this dire and cataclysmic situation but if they attempt to make a move, the invader's would kill them. Jin then looked at his men.
"Hǎo nánrén! Nǐmen suǒyǒurén dōu jiāng bǎ zhèxiē shēngwù dài dào wàimiàn, bìng ràng qízhōng yīxiē zài jiànzào jùxíng qiángbì hé jiànzhú wù shàng gōngzuò! Rúguǒ tāmen zhōng yǒu rén shìtú táotuō, jiāng yǔnxǔ shèjí! Míngbáile ma? (Alright men! All of you will bring the creatures outside and get some of them to work on building giant walls and buildings! And if any of them attempts to escape, shooting will be permitted! Understood?)" Jin asked his men.
"Shì, zhǎngguān! (Sir yes sir!)" All of them said as they saluted. After that, they began to drag the cuffed up creatures of Equestria including Twilight, Luster Dawn, Twilight's friends, the grown up CMC'S and Young six outside of the castle.
Jin An Rong then looked at the swat and police units.
"Nǐmen rènwéi nín kěyǐ jiāng zhè zuò gōngdiàn fānxīn wèi jiānyù ma? (Do you guys think that you can renovate this palace as a prison?)" Jin asked.
"Wǒmen kěyǐ kěndìng jīn zhōng jiàng néng dài gěi wǒmen hěnduō gōngjù hé yǒuyòng de gōngjù, qízhōng yīxiē shì cóng jiànzhú gōngdì jiè lái de. (We sure can Lieutenant General Jin, we brought plenty of dandy and helpful tools with us, and some were borrowed from construction sites.)" One of the swat member told him.
"Hǎo! Xiànzài kāishǐ ba! (Good! Now get to it!)" Jin ordered.
"Shì, zhǎngguān! (Sir yes sir!)" The swat team member said as he saluted. After that, he turned around and ordered his men to do some work.
Jing An Rong then turned around and faced Princess Twilight Sparkle's throne. He scrutinized it for a moment then came up with a great plan. He pulled out his pistol and aimed it at it. He then fired four shots at it.
*BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!*
The whole throne toppled down into pieces when the hard bullets collided with it which made Jin smile again. After that, he kicked the broken wood out of the way and commenced his improvisational idea to the palace.
"Wǒ jiàng zài bǎozuò shàng xuánguà zhōngguó guóqí. Zhèyàng, jiāngjūn jiāng duì wǒ hé wǒ de rényuán yǐjí tèjǐng duì hé jǐngchá bùduì de gōngzuò gǎndào mǎnyì. (I'll put a China flag on the throne area. That way, the General will be pleased with me and my mens work as well as the swat team and police force.)" Jin An Rong said to himself quietly with a proud smile.

Castle Hill Australia, year 2020 January 25th 7:00am
In a house in a quiet town in Castle Hill, a young eighteen years old teenager named Charlie Lam was seen sleeping on his large green bed while snoring. But, his comfortable moment eventually concluded when his alarm clock beeped.
*Beep! Beep! Beep!*
Charlie moaned weakily and slowly opened his eyes after hearing his aggravating alarm clock. He then reached it with his right hand and clicked on a button on top of the alarm clock. Then, it stopped beeping.
After that, Charlie slowly sat up straight, stretched his arms and yawned. He then grabbed his iPhone 11 pro from a cupboard next to him and checked the time and saw that it was 7:00am. And it was also the time for him to go to university.
"Alright, time to instigate the day." Charlie said to himself.
After that, he pulled his small airpods from his airpod box and placed them in his ears. Then he opened up a spotify app from his phone and tapped on one of his favourite songs.
Once the song was playing. Charlie got up from his bed and exited his bedroom. After that, he walked to his bathroom and grabbed his electronic toothbrush, squeezed some toothpaste on it and placed it in his mouth. He then turned it on and began to brush his teeth. After brushing for thirty seconds, he pulled his toothbrush out of his mouth and grabbed his cup of water. He drank the water in his mouth and spat it out. He then grabbed a wet towel and washed his face.
After he has finished those, he exited his bathroom and walked downstairs to his living room. He walked to the kitchen and made some breakfast. He made scrambled eggs, two sausages and two toasts. He placed them on a large plate and took a seat on a chair on his kitchen dining area with a fork and knife near his plate. He then poured water into his glass cup with a drink dispenser.
After he has accomplished all of those steps. He began to eat his breakfast.
Charlie has finished his breakfast around 7:15am. He then got off his chair with his plate in his right hand, and walked to his kitchen sink. Then, he placed his plate in the sink and wash it.
"Alright, now time to go to school." Charlie said to himself.
He then walked up to his living room table and grabbed his car and house keys.
He exited his home and locked the door. Then, he walked to his car. He clicked on the unlock button attached to the key and the car produced a noise.
*Beep! Beep!*
Charlie gripped onto the driver seat door handle and pulled it opened. After that, he sat in the seat and closed the door. Then, he tuck the car key in the car's ignition and it activated. And finally, he pressed his right foot on the gas pedal and drove to his M.I.T campus in Sydney.
After driving for 32 minutes, Charlie has arrived at his M.I.T university in Sussex street in Sydney. He drove into the car park and parked his car in an empty place, then, he pushed the gear stick forward to 'P' and pulled the handbrake upwards. And finally he pulled the keys out of the ignition and his car was deactivated. Then, he pulled his airports out of his ears.
After that, Charlie reach for his car's glove department handle with his right hand. He gripped onto it and pulled it down, then he grabbed his fully charged wrist computer out of it. And then, he placed his wrist computer through his left hand and it automatically strapped onto him and it made a noise.
"Welcome, master Charlie." The wrist computer said in a female voice.
"Good to see you too Sally." Charlie sighed. He then looked at his family photo and smiled.
"Time for me to start another beautiful day guys." Charlie said. After that, he placed his most precious property back in his glove department and got off his vehicle. And finally, he locked it.
"Alright, time to start the curriculum." Charlie said with an exurbant expression.
Once Charlie has took the elevator up to the campus he was greeted by many of his friends who started to hang out with him before their period.
After talking to each other for six minutes, the bell rang and Charlie had to run to his classroom to commence his first period chemical engineering.
During the lesson, Charlie and his classmates were assigned to use the fluid mechanics which is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids and the forces on them. And Charlie found the method a little bit challenging but, he always like to face new challenges.
After the fluid mechanics, the teacher assigned the students to conduct some experiments on some chemical properties. Everyone in the room instantly instigated their experiment with some technologies they brought with them as well which made everything drastically feasible for everyone.
While Charlie was conducting his with his high tech safety goggles he invented. It eventually ran out of power and shut off. Charlie then took off his goggles and looked at it with an irritated expression.
"How tremendous." Charlie sighed "Guess I'll have to use brains instead." He finished as he walked to his technological backpack and tuck his safety goggles in his charging station. After that, he pulled out a top slide section on his backpack and grabbed out his booklet. And finally, he walked back to his bench and resumed on conducting the experiment.
After chemical engineering, it was time for computer science, and this was Charlie's favourtie subject because if he gets more adroit with it, he will be able to upgrade some of his inventions.
During the lesson, Charlie and his classmates resumed on doing their new technology designs. They can either upgrade their previous ones or proceed with their newer ones. And Charlie decided to do some upgrades to his wrist computer and computer with a transparent screen feature he developed to it.
The lesson lasted for an hour now and it was 11:58am. And it was lunch time period for them.
When the teacher noticed the time on the clock, he called the class.
"Alright guys, time to pack everything up. It is almost lunch time." The teacher told them.
"Okay mister Elliot." All of them said. Then they began to pack their newly developed technology in cupboards. And took back some of their upgraded ones.
After that, everyone in the classroom walked back to their tables and wore their backpacks. Then they exited the classroom and walked to the canteen to buy some lunch and for a one hour break.

Chapter 2 edited in May 12th 2020
M.I.T campus canteen
In the canteen area in the M.I.T campus. Charlie Lam was lining up behind four students to buy his lunch. And after waiting for 1 minute and 32 seconds, it was his turn to buy a lunch to eat. He walked up to the counter and faced the counter lady who smiled when she saw him.
"Hello there Charlie, what would like to eat today?"
"Hello there miss Lauren, I would like to have a spaghetti today please."
"Okay, that would be 5.50 please." Lauren said in a polite tone.
Charlie reached into his right pocket with his right hand and pulled out his wallet,. After that, he unfolded it and pulled out a five dollar bill and fifty cents.
"Here you go miss Lauren." Charlie said handing the money to her.
"Thank you so much darling." Lauren said as she put the money in the cash register. After that, she grabbed a spaghetti box from a tray behind her and placed it on the counter in front of him.
"Enjoy your lunch."
"Thank you." Charlie said with a bow. After that, he turned around and began to find seats. Then someone called him.
"Yo Charlie! Come over here!"
When Charlie heard the intimate voice, he looked to his left and saw his best friend Markus sitting on a chair in front of a table with an empty seat in front of him. Charlie smiled and walked up to his friend's table. Once he got there he placed his spaghetti lunch on the table and took a seat in front of him.
"How's it going Charlie?" Markus asked him.
"It's going great." Charlie replied while opening the spaghetti box and grabbing a fork next to him on the table "Just upgraded my wrist computer and computer in computer science." He told him.
"That great!" Markus said with a smile "Do you have anything else to declare?" He asked.
"During my chemical engineering lesson, the teacher preached me and my classmates about fluid mechanics, and it was simple as heck. And finally, we were assigned to conduct an experiment about some chemical properties with some of our gadgets we designed. And the most humiliating part is that my safety goggle scanners ran out of power before I could even conduct." Charlie told him with a chuckle.
Markus then laughed from his friend's humorous information.
"Hahaha! Now that is drastically amusing. But quite unfortunate."
"Yeah I know, anyways I want to eat my lunch now." Charlie said as he munched on his spaghetti.
"Go ahead my friend, and I will eat mines as well." Markus said biting one of his chicken drumstick.
While Charlie was eating his spaghetti, he heard a noise from the TV.
He looked up and saw that it was the into of ABC news, Charlie placed his fork down and decided to see what the news has to give. Then, a female reporter was seen on the large TV.
"Welcome back to ABC news and today we have some petrifying news to report. The Chinese People's Liberation Army has been seen invading an unidentified land called Equestria, a land filled with ponies and many other unique creatures. And here is a rare video of their work recorded by a Chinese soldier." The female reporter said.
Then, a video was seen playing on the TV screen and it showed some Chinese soldiers, swat, riot police armed with riot shields, batons, rubber bullet guns and tear gas launchers. And the Chinese soldiers armed with guns have been seen coercing some ponies, weird dragons, colourful bugs and eagles with a body of a lion, yaks and many other mysterious creatures to work which traumatized Charlie.
The video lasted for two minutes now and the TV showed the female reporter again.
"We have no idea why the Chinese are invading the land. Some of our other reporters questioned the Chinese government about their exertion, but they denied to answer because all informations are classified and our reporters were forced to leave. ABC news." The female reporter finished. Then the TV came to an advertising break.
"Oh my goodness, those poor things." Markus said with a dismayed expression "I wish I could help them but there's no way I can fight an entire army." He finished in a disconsolated tone.
"What do you mean you wish you could?" Charlie asked him.
When Markus heard his friend, he looked up at him and saw a self-assured expression on him which made him agitated.
"Oh no, I've seen that look on you before, don't you even dare-"
"I want to succour them." Charlie told him quietly.
When Markus heard this, he immediately banged his head on the table quietly three times. Then, he looked at him with an irked expression.
"Uggh! Your killing me." Markus said with an indignant expression.
"I have to try and assist them."
"Okay, but do you even have any idea on how the heck you can get over there?" Markus asked in a logical sense "It's not like you have some teleportation powers in you like doctor strange." He told him.
"Your sense is veracious." Charlie said with a nod, then he leaned close to his face "But, I can hack through their teleportation device they newly invented." He whispered to him.
"Oh come on! That is very illegal Charlie!" Markus mumbled in disbelief and anger"And how are you even gonna hack through their teleportation device?" He asked.
Charlie looked around the canteen for a moment and saw that everyone was very immersed in eating their lunch and talking which gave him a good chance on entering his private laboratory the teachers gave him last week because of his narly work. Then, he looked at his friend and said "Follow me."
Charlie then stood up from his seat and walked to his private laboratory on the fourth floor.
"Uggh, I hope this ends well." Markus said with a roll of his eyes. Then, he stood up and followed his friend to his private laboratory on the fourth floor.
Once Charlie and Markus have arrived at their private laboratory, Charlie opened the door and let him and Markus in. After that, Charlie flipped up a light switch on the left side near the door and the lights in the room were all on. Charlie then took off his backpack and grabbed his computer. He placed it on his working desk and turned it on. And once it was on, Charlie went on YouTube and clicked on the search bar. After that, he typed in 'China's teleportation invention' then he clicked enter and many videos of the teleportation machine were shown on the page. Then, Charlie clicked on one of the video and it showed the teleportation device. And finally, Charlie tapped onto his wrist computer and began to hack the teleportation device. But his friend Markus was feeling very apprehensive.
"Charlie, are you sure about this?" Markus asked "Because I don't want to go to jail for this illegal act, I don't even have a girlfriend yet!" He told him.
"It's okay, you don't have to come with me. I can handle this on my own." He assured him which made Markus sigh in relief.
"Thank goodness, and I thought that-"
Markus wasn't able to finish his sentence when Charlie's wrist computer made a noise. Charlie stood up and saw that he has successfully hacked into the teleportation device, and now his wrist computer showed him a bunch of cities in China like 'Guangzhou' 'Tianjin' 'Shanghai' 'Chongqing' 'Shenzhen' including the special administrative region Hong Kong. But the capital Beijing is unavailable which is perplexing.
"Yes, hacking process accomplished." Charlie said with a smile.
"Okay, so what's objective two?" He asked.
Charlie scrolled through the city options for a while and saw that one of the options showed a land called 'Equestria' and he must assume that the Chinese were there.
"Objective two, sneak into the land." He said as he clicked on the tag Equestria. And after he clicked on it, his wrist computer began to count down.
"Teleportation commencing in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five-"
"Hey Markus, remember to do well in the next few periods." Charlie told him.
"I will, and good luck with your journey." Markus told him, and Charlie replied with a nod.
"Four, three, two, one, zero."
When the countdown was completed, Charlie was teleported out of his laboratory which startled Markus.
"Whoa, where did he go?" Markus said observing his surroundings. But suddenly, the door behind him was opened and Markus saw miss Jessie the physics teacher.
"Markus, the bell is almost gonna go. So what are you doing here?" She asked him.
"Uh... um... I was watching some romance movies on Netflix?"
It was nighttime in Equestria, and Twilight Sparkle, Luster Dawn, Sunburst, Starlight, Spike, Lil Cheese, Pinkie Pie, Cheese Sandwich, Spike, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy were held prisoners in Twilight's castle while the others were held in the dungeons, and Discord is probably on vacation somewhere in another dimension. And the main reason why the mane six, Sunburst, Starlight, Lil Cheese, Cheese Sandwich and Spike were placed in the throne room was because there was not enough space for them in the dungeon. And the invaders have renovated Twilight's castle as a violent training facility for the invaders. And the dungeons and their cell were being guarded with heavily black colour armored invaders weilding what looks to be like round and rectangular plastic shields, black coloured sticks and what looks to be like metal weapons, almost similar to the green suited invaders ones, and the scene looked hopeless to Twilight and her friends.
The invaders also placed a suppressor ring on Twilight and Starlight's horn to prevent them from blasting or teleporting their way out
"This is no use, we are going to die." Rainbow Dash said with so much anxiety.
"Calm down Rainbow, we can figure out a way to escape." Twilight told her.
"How do you expect us to figure out a plan when those invaders have us imprisoned in your own castle?" Applejack asked in a logic sense "And even if we attempt to escape, the invaders would instantly kill us with their monstrous metal weapons." She told her.
Twilight was going to intervene but, an invader outside of her cell began to talk. And Twilight began to listen.
"Jiāngtàishùn, Wǒ yào qù shàngxiào de bàngōngshì, bàogào suǒyǒu shēngwù dōu yǐ bèi sòng huí qí láofáng. Érqiě nín rènwéi nín kěyǐ zài zhèlǐ jiānshì xiǎo mǎ ma? (Jiang Tai Shun, I'm gonna head to the colonel's office to report that all of the creatures have been sent back to their cells. And do you think that you can keep watch of the ponies in here?)" He asked his riot police colleague.
"Wǒ kěyǐ lǚxíng zhōufèngliáng de yìwù. (I can do that obligation Chow Feng Liang.)" Jiang nodded.
"Hǎo. (Good.)" Chow said with a proud smile. After that, he turned around and exited the throne room and walked to the colonel's office leaving Jiang alone to keep on watch of the ponies imprisoned in this throne room.
Twilight scrutinized the invader from head to toe and saw that it has a key stuck on it's belt. Twilight must assume that the key was for her and her friends cell.
"Guys, that invader has the key to our cell." Twilight said quietly.
"He does?" Sunburst asked and Twilight replied with a nod.
Starlight stepped forward and looked at the invader's belt and saw that it does indeed have a key. Probably for their cell. She then turned around and faced her friends and daughter Luster Dawn.
"That invader does indeed have a key on his belt." Starlight told them, and everyponies eyes widened.
"How are we going to get it?" Fluttershy asked.
Rainbow Dash looked down on her cell and saw that there was a small pebble on the floor, then she came up with a great plan.
"Girls, I have a plan." Rainbow Dash told them.
In the middle throne room, Jiang Tai Shun was casually guarding the throne room with a baton and round plastic riot shield equipped on him. But suddenly, something soft and sharp was thrown at the back of his head. Jiang turned around and looked down and saw that there was a pebble on the floor, he looked up and saw the ponies looking away from him like nothing happened. Jiang must've assumed that it one of the ponies in the cell threw that pebble at him, and he was infuriated. He dropped his baton and riot shield on the floor and pulled out his 9mm pistol from his holster. Then, he walked up to the cell and aimed his gun at them.
"Shéi zuò de?! (Who did that?!)" Jiang demanded while looking at all of the hypocrite ponies, but they all disregarded him "If none of you animals confront now I will open fi-"
Jiang wasn't able to finish his sentence when a lasso was tied onto his throat with made him grab it while gagging, and it was Applejack who grappled him with her lasso.
"Now Applejack!" Said Rainbow Dash.
Applejack nodded and pulled her lasso and the invader was bashed into the cell bars which instantly knocked him out and dropping the keys. Spike looked at the keys with a delightful smile. He then reached out for the keys and grabbed it with his right claw.
"Thank you for your generous offer." Spike joked. After that, he reached for the key hole on his left and stuck it in. And finally, his twisted the key and their titanium cell bars were lifted up and they were free.
"Woohoo! We are free!" Pinkie said hugging her daughter and husband.
"Not yet Pinkie, we still have to get through the others outside." Twilight told her which made Lil Cheese frown but Pinkie cheered her up with a nuzzle.
"Come on, we have to be cautious of any of the invaders when we slowly make our escape." Said Starlight and everypony nodded. Then all of them slowly began to approach the throne room doors
Once they got there, Twilight gently pressed her hoof on one of the doors and slowly pushed it opened. She looked on her left and right and saw that there were no invaders in the hallways. She looked back at her friends and said "Coast is clear." Then they proceeded onwards to escape the occupied castle, but unknown to them, there were security cameras installed everywhere.
In the security room, there is a soldier sitting on a wheelchair while reading a Newspaper about new shops and businesses in Mainland China. But, his reading was put to an end when one of his security monitors began alerting him by beeping.
*Beep! Beep! Beep!*
When the soldier heard the beeping noise, he dropped down his Newpaper and looked the monitors and saw that it was security monitor three alerting him. He looked at it and saw the ponies jailed from the throne room have escaped. Once he witnessed the dire situation, he tapped on a red button on the right side of the table and an alarm began to beep.
Twilight and her friends jumped when they heard an alarm beeping. They must've assumed that they have been spotted, then a sound has been heard.
"Jiējìn jǐngbào! Bǎozuò shàng de qiúfàn yǐjīng táotuōle! Fāsòng fùjìn de suǒyǒu dānwèi! (Proximity alert! The prisoners from the throne room have escaped! Send in all nearby units!)"
Twilight then doors on her left busting open. She looked at her left and saw five invaders in dark armor wielding plastic shields, black sticks and one was wielding a dark metal weapon which made Twilight's eyes widen in horror.
"Guys run!" Twilight exclaimed. Then she and her friends began to run.
"Chénwénliú! Kāi cuīlèi wǎsī! (Chen Wen Liu! Fire a tear gas!)"
"Luō jié nàgè zhōngwèi! (Roger that lieutenant!)" Chen said as he aimed his tear gas launcher up in front of them. He focused for a while then pulled the trigger.
*Pew!*
Then the tear gas canister flew up in the air for a moment then on the floor near them. Which made Twilight and her friends stop in their tracks, then they began to cough from the weird chemical smoke.
"What is this?" Rainbow Dash asked while coughing, her eyes were very hurt. Then, Flutterhsy collapsed on the floor from the gas.
"Fluttershy!" Spike said as he held her with his claws, then he placed her on his back.
Sunburst turned around and saw that the invaders were gaining up on them.
"Dǎbài tāmen! (Beta them up!)" One of the invaders yelled with his right hand swung back.
But before they could come in on them, Sunburst quickly activated his horn defending his friends, wife and daughter. And the invaders stumbled backwards and fell on the floor roughly with grunt.
"Great work Sunburst!" Twilight said. And Sunburst replied with a nod.
After that, Twilight and her friends ran through the hallways again.
They made a large amount left and right turns. But after running down the stairs, she and her friends reached the exit doors.
"Guys! We have made it!" Twilight told them.
"Yeehaw!" Applejacksaid with a smile.
But suddenly, an invader armed with a dark stick was blocking their path. He charged up to them with his right arm swung back and it attempted to hit them with his metal weapon. But then, he was met with a kick in the chest from Rainbow Dash and the invader was sent crashing into a wall.
"Nice work Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie said in a proud tone.
"Thank you."
Once Twilight and her friends have reached the front doors of the castle. Twilight placed her hooves on both of the doors and pushed them opened letting herself and her friends out. Then they began to run to the exit of Canterlot, but they were met with a new and petrifying challenge when three invaders ran up to the large balcony on the castle wielding long metal weapons.
"Jū jí shǒu! Zhíxíng tāmen! (Snipers! Execute them!)" Lietenant general Jin demanded.
"Luō jié nàgè zhōng jiàng! (Roger that Lieutenant General!)" One of the soldiers yelled.
Then, the three soldiers looked through their scopes on their sniper rifle and placed their right finger on the trigger. They focused on their targets and pulled the triggers.
*BANG! BANG! BANG!*
Twilight and her friends began to zig zag when they felt some loud banging noises from the aliens weapons.
"Guys! Run faster!" Twilight yelled. Then she and her friends began to pick up the pace to the exit of Canterlot.
One of the soldier's was locked onto Twilight Sparkle.
"Zhǔnbèi yíngjiē mìngyùn de mù guāng zhī chéng gōngzhǔ. (Prepare to meet your fate Princess Twilight Sparkle.)" The soldier said in a cold tone. Then he pulled the trigger.
*BANG!*
Once the shot was fired, the bullet flew out of the detachable muzzle brake. And towards Twilight Sparkle. Then she was hit in the chest.
"Auughh!" Twilight yelled in pain as she fell on the floor.
Her friends turned around and looked at her with a traumatized expression.
"Twilight!"
"Shì de rènwéi nǐ shìgè qiáng de gōngzhǔ!(Yeah! Take that you temerarious Princess!)" The soldier cheered along with his colleagues.
Spike ran up to Twilight and lifted her up on his shoulder then he began to run along with his friends.
"Come on guys! We have to hide in Ponyville and treat Twilight there as well!" Spike told them and his friends nodded in unison.
"Let's hide in sugar cube corner." Pinkie counselled.
The snipers fired more shots at the fleeing ponies and dragon but every shots they fired, the escaping ponies and dragon kept avoiding them by zig zagging.
After running for a few more seconds. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Flutterhsy, Cheese Sandwich, Lil Cheese, Starlight, Sunburst, Luster Dawn, Spike and Rarity have safely made it out of Canterlot which made the three snipers anxious. Then their lieutenant General called them through their walkie talkies.
"Nǐmen shāle tāmen ma? (Did you guys killed them?)"
One of the soldiers slowly raised his walkie talkie and held it near his mouth. Then he began to send a reply back.
"Duìbùqǐ, xiānshēng, tāmen táozǒule. (Sorry sir, they escaped.)" The soldier told him. Then an enraged reply was sent back.
"Gāisǐ de! Nǐmen shènzhì shì zěnme shèfǎ ràng nàxiē cuìruò hé xié'è de shēngwù táotuōle? A! Méiguānxì, lái dào huìyì shì jìn háng huìbào, ránhòu wǒmen kěyǐ xúnzhǎo táoyì de táofàn. (Damn it! How did you guys even manage to let those fragile and vile creatures escape?! Ugh! Nevermind, come to the meeting room for a debrief, then we can search for the escaped fugitives.)" Lieutenant General Jin An Rong told them.
"Luō jié nàgè zhōng jiàng. (Roger that Lieutenant General.)" The soldier replied back. After that, he tucked his walkie talkie back in his belt and faced his colleagues.
"Bàituōle huǒjìmen. Wǒmen bìxū qù huìyì shì jìn háng huìbào. (Come on guys. We have to go to the meeting room for a debrief.)" He told them.
"Hǎo de. (Okay.)" One of the soldiers said as he stood up with his colleague. After that, the three of them walked to the meeting room for a debrief.

Chapter edited on 26th April 2020
A traumatizing transformation
Charlie Lam was walking towards the exit of Ponyville to the forest where he teleported at since his arrival. While he was walking, he heard the sound of hoof-steps behind him, he must assume that someone was following him. He then stopped in his track and began to talk to his follower.
"You there."
When Luster Dawn heard the invader calling her. She immediately froze and stopped in her tracks and looked at the invader.
"Who are you and why are you following me?" Charlie asked not turning around just yet.
"Uh... um... my name is Luster Dawn mister invader. I am the student of Princess Twilight Sparkle." She replied anxiously.
When Charlie heard the title Princess, he got baffled.
"Princess?" He asked "Are you talking about the one I helped in that snack shop house thingy?" He finished with a perplexed expression. Then he finally turned around and faced the pink unicorn. And Luster Dawn got petrified again, but she stuffed it down and replied to the invader.
"Yes, it was her."
"That's good to know." Charlie said to himself quietly "Anyways, where are my manners? My name is Charlie Lam. I am an eighteen years old teenager from Australia." He introduced himself with a bow.
Then Luster Dawn began to introduce herself to the invader.
"Nice to meet you too Charlie, my name is Luster Dawn." She introduced herself with a bow.
"So, I assume your going to tag along with me in this journey?" He asked her.
"Yes." Luster Dawn replied with a nod. "Because you are not from this land, and you probably need me to guide you because I know well around these other lands." She finished with logic.
Charlie thought for a moment then came to a conclusion.
"I don't want to be indelicate but, you don't look so much." Charlie said as he surveyed the unicron's structure.
Luster Dawn frowned when she heard that cretinous remark.
"Look, I know that I don't look like much but, you still need assistance from now on in this land." She told him "Plus, our land seriously needs saving from some of your other kind." She finished.
When Charlie heard this, he bregrudingly had to force himself to sigh in defeat.
"Well, I guess your sense is veracious." He said with a roll of his eyes "Fine, I'll work with you, because I do not want to make myself too phlegmatic." He told her which made the unicorn giggle.
"But still, are you a qualified tour guide?" Charlie asked her.
"Well, although I'm not a tour guide. But I can be a very efficient guidance to you." She told him.
Charlie then took a few seconds to think about it again. After ten seconds, he came to a conclusion.
"Alright alright, you can tag along with me." Charlie told her, and Luster Dawn's mind began to be filled with astonishment.
"Nice! Another adventure!" She said with so much enthusiasm.
"But don't make me feel lament." Charlie told her.
"I promise."
"Okay, now we have officially established all of that, would you mind leading the way?" He asked.
"Oh okay, follow me mister Charlie." Luster Dawn said as she walked past Charlie and began to guide him.
Charlie and Luster Dawn have been walking uphill and downhill and across many hazardous fast flowing rivers and petrifying areas. And Luster Dawn was getting very exhausted.
"Oh my goodness, I'm so tired." Luster Dawn said between breaths.
"But dude, we've just walked for five hours. And your complaining about this already?" Charlie asked her with an indignant expression. "I thought you told me that you were a very efficient guidance to anyone." He reminded her.
"I know but, I need a break." Luster Dawn told him between breaths.
Charlie rolled his eyes and said "Alright, wait here."
Charlie then raised his left arm and tapped on his wrist computer. Luster Dawn's eyes immediately widened in interest when she saw the contraption.
"Whoa, just what is this rectangular contraption you are using?" Luster Dawn asked.
"This?" Charlie asked looking at her "Well, this is a wrist computer, a very dandy technology designed to assist you with some difficult questions you are in. It is mainly used in the military, but I designed one myself." He told her which made Luster Dawn 'Ooooohhhh' in return.
The wrist computer then made a beeping noise and a large transparent screen appeared out of it, and the sight Luster Dawn's jaw drop. Charlie then tapped on the screen again and a red arrow was seen on the screen and pointed in a cave with a blue indicator. Charlie then looked back at Luster Dawn.
"Follow me Luster Dawn." Charlie said as he began to follow the indicator on the transparent screen.
"I'm coming!" Luster Dawn said as she pushed herself back up, she staggered a little but managed to keep her balance. She then looked in front of her and saw Charlie far in front of her "Hey! Wait for me!" She said as she ran to catch up with him.
After walking for five minutes, both Charlie and Luster Dawn have finally reached the cave, and Luster Dawn quickly rushed in and lied down on the soft grass.
Charlie began to observe the large cave and saw that it was big enough for him to do some survival tactics, and some science experiments.
Charlie then exited the cave and grabbed ten sticks and twelve round stones enough for him to make a fireplace in the centre. After that, he took off his backpack, placed it at the side of the cave and walked to the centre of the cave to setup the fire.
He bent down and placed the dry sticks in the middle. After that, he surrounded the rocks around the sticks. Then, he pulled out a lighter and squeezed the small trigger and a small flame ignited which made Luster Dawn 'ah' in return. Finally, he placed the small flame near the dry sticks and a large fire was produced making Charlie smile in satisfaction.
"Okay Luster Dawn, the fire is setup. You should warm yourself up because it is going to get drastically cold this night to my assumption." He told her.
"Okay." Luster Dawn said with a nod. Then she inched herself near the fire and began warming herself up.
Charlie then walked back at the end of the cave and sat down. After that, he pulled out the golden talisman that Princess Twilight Sparkle gave him out of one of his pockets. Then, he placed it on the ground and began to analyse it.
Luster Dawn turned around and looked at Charlie with a perplexed expression.
"You look like you are trying to figure out the talisman that Princess Twilight gave you." Luster Dawn said.
"Yes, I am trying to figure it out." Charlie told her.
"Do you need any help?" She asked "I can try and be your succour." She volunteered.
"No thanks." Charlie told her with a shake of his head "I can handle this myself because, that's what I do." He finished.
"Okay." Luster Dawn said with a shrug.
Charlie first began to study the talisman to see if it had a potential feature. Once his eyes made it to the middle of it, he saw a small white glow which caught his attention.
"What is this?" Charlie said to himself quietly while scrutinizing the glow. He then raised his right hand and slowly began to approach the glow with his right finger which was an exertion he would regret doing.
Once his finger got near to the glow he began to hesitate and tried to restrain himself. But he just couldn't help it because it looked like something new, and Charlie liked to see something new. He then gathered all of his courage and touched the glow with his eyes closed, and to his surprise, nothing happened. He then slowly opened his eyes and looked at the talisman again.
"Huh, nothing happened."
But then, he spoke too soon because, the talisman quickly floated in the air on it's own catching Charlie off guard and surprising Luster Dawn.
"Whoa! How did you do that?" Luster Dawn asked.
"I-I don't know! It just floated up on it's own randomly." He told her.
The talisman then let off a glow not too bright. It then spread itself open and turned around. Then, it began to slowly approach Charlie's chest level.
"Hey! Get away from me!" Charlie said crawling back a little.
But suddenly, the talisman instantly stuck itself around Charlie's chest level. Then a bright white glow illuminated which made Luster Dawn shield her eyes and a loud scream can be heard.
After three seconds, the bright glow slowly faded away and Luster Dawn can slowly drop her hooves down. And she can finally see clearly in front of her, and the view surprised her a little because in front of her was Charlie burried in his own science coat.
"Charlie?" Luster Dawn said slowly approaching his coat.
But suddenly, Charlie quickly pushed himself up of the grass and his coat immediately flew off him which caught Luster Dawn off.
"Uggh... what happened to me?" Charlie said as he placed his left hand on his forehead. But, he felt something weird because his fingers weren't touching his head.
"What the? Where are my fingers?" Charlie asked as he looked down on his hand but his visions were very blurry. He then shook his head and his visions returned and what he saw traumatized him because he was looking at a hoof.
"Wait what the heck?" Charlie said quietly.
He then looked at his right hand and saw that it got turned into a hoof as well.
"Wait hold on." Charlie said as he looked at his reflection in his safety goggle scanners and the view startled him because, he was not a human anymore, he was now a pony with a unicorn horn and wings.
Charlie tried to self control of fear, but he couldn't. Then, he let's out some tumoultous words.
"WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED TO ME?!!" He screamed fearfully which made Luster Dawn jump.
Author's Note
Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it!
Charlie was panicking and screaming words when he witnessed his new white colour form from his reflection from his safety goggles. He tried to stand on two legs or hooves, but then he staggered backwards.
"Ahhhhh!" Charlie yelled as he fell on the grass on his back. And Luster Dawn giggled front the sight.
"You seem disorientate." Luster Dawn said with a giggle.
"Oh of course I'm disorientate!" Charlie said rolling on the grass. He stood up but his chin crashed onto the floor and Charlie had to drag himself backwards.
"Whoa, your an alicorn." Luster Dawn said quietly with a surprised expression.
"Ahh! My height! What happened to my height?!" Charlie panicked.
"What do you mean? What's wrong?" Luster Dawn asked with a perplexed expression.
"What's wrong?" Charlie grumbled loud enough for her to hear, then he looked at her and said "What is wrong is that I used to be one-hundred and eighty-two centimetres tall but now! I am now the height of a human child!" He complained with an enraged expression which made Luster Dawn even more perplexed.
"What's with all of this anger?" Luster Dawn asked him "You just turned into an alicorn." She finished.
Charlie tried to argue back but, he got perplexed when he heard Luster Dawn saying the word 'Alicorn'.
"Um... pardon me but, what's an Alicorn?" Charlie asked.
"An alicorn is a very unique and powerful creature that can produce many magic and other sorts of cool stuffs. And they are rarely seen except for Princess Twilight Sparkle of course." Luster Dawn delineated.
"Wait wait wait." Charlie said with a shake of his head "So what your telling me is that I am a very rare creature that can do all sorts of unique stuffs like magic. And I am the same as your Princess or ruler?" He asked.
"Pretty much." Luster Dawn said with a shrug "But, they are a very intelligent species in Equestria." She told him.
Charlie was even more perplexed when he heard her saying that an 'Alicorn' is a very intelligent and husky specie. And if Twilight Sparkle was an alicorn, why couldn't she defeat the Chinese army easily with her magic thing?
Charlie was going to ask Luster Dawn more about alicorn but, he was cut off when Luster Dawn pulled out a piece of paper and quill.
"Anyways mister Charlie, since we're alone. Would you mind if I ask you some questions?" She asked as she sat down on the grass.
"What sort of questions?" He asked as he sat down as well looking directly at her face.
"Here's my first one." She told him "What kind of creature are you? Before you transformed into an alicorn." She asked.
"Why I am a human, homo sapiens." He answered.
"Care to elaborate?"
"Um, no." He said with a shake of his head "I don't feel comfortable sharing classified and personal informations." He told her.
"Okay, I understand that." Luster Dawn said as she wrote down on her piece of paper.
"Here's my next question. What do you do for a living?" She asked.
"I attend in an M.I.T university in Sussex in Australia which is the country I live in."
Luster Dawn got baffled by those three letters.
"M.I.T? What do those three letters mean?" She asked.
"M.I.T stands for Massachusetts Institute of Technology." He pronounced it in full form "The university campus is a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Founded in 1861 in response to the increasing industrialization of the United States which is another country. M.I.T also adopted an European polytechnic university model and stressed laboratory instruction in applied science and engineering." He delineated.
Luster Dawn's eyes widened in astonishment and had her mouth open in awe when she heard the information. It was like a book with thousands of pages.
"Wow, now that is cool." Luster Dawn said in astonishment.
"Indeed it is." Charlie said with a nod "Anything else you like to know?" He asked.
"Okay, here is my last question. What are those metal things attached to your circular thing? And why do you always carry them around with you?" She asked.
Charlie then looked at the gun and nightstick he stole from the Chinese police officer earlier back in Ponyville.
"These?" He asked as he pulled them out, and Luster Dawn's eyes widened when he saw the metallic objects, but this was smaller than the other invaders used. Charlie then started with the pistol "This is called a pistol. It is a type of handgun used by many police officers. It fires out a small projectile called a bullet once you pull this trigger here, and once you pulled the trigger. A loud noise will be produced and the bullet flies out of this small hole called a muzzle. The bullet flies at such a high speed, so fast that the naked eye can't even spot it. And once it hits you, it will go through your body and piecre out making an exit hole. But, sometimes a smaller caliber would get stuck in your body rather than exiting it which is more excruciating, And sometimes the gunshots can kill you, sometimes not." He delineated.
Luster Dawn was both traumatized and petrified when she heard the information. She didn't knew that a small metal contraption like that can do such harm to somepony.
"That sounds brutal." Luster Dawn said with a petrified expression.
"Indeed it is kid." Charlie said with a chuckle. Then he began to talk about the nightstick "And this metal stick is called a nightstick. It is roughly cylindrical club made of wood, rubber, plastic or metal. It is carried as a compliance tool and defensive weapon by law-enforcement officers, correctional staff, security guards and military personnel." He delineated.
Luster Dawn began to write down all of these awesome informations from Charlie.
"Thank you so much for the informations Charlie." She said with grateful smile.
"You are very welcome Luster Dawn." Charlie said with a smile "Say, I have some questions that I would like to ask you as well if you don't mind." He told her.
"Really? Then go ahead, I'm all ears."
"Okay, here is my only question. Why is the Chinese military torturing you all?" He asked.
When Luster Dawn heard his question. She immediately dropped her head down disconsolated.
"Well, I don't know why they are doing this actually. All I know is that they have conquered our land."
"Then tell me everything, from the start and I can help you all."
Luster Dawn then took a deep breath and began to speak everything she knows.
"It all started out like this. I was having another normal lesson with my mentor Princess Twilight Sparkle. We were conducting some magic spells with some portal combinations technique. Everything was going well until I did an accident that I don't even know what happened." She told him.
"Then what happened?" He asked.
"A month later, many of your kind have charged towards us. They used their metallic weapons against us which destroyed ours like it was sand and paper. Those humans you said killed many of my kind and friends. The blue and dark coloured humans arrested many creatures. Some were killed and slaughtered and enslaved. And our last hope in Twilight's castle fell to their blitz by those scary humans, and now they are enslaving us to build buildings in our own capital Canterlot. And if we were disobedient, the scary humans will immediately kill us all." She said with her head down in depression.
"Scary humans? Soldiers?" He asked her.
"Soldiers?" Luster Dawn asked looking at him "That's what they are called?"
"Yes." Charlie replied with a nod "And those blue and dark suited humans you added must be some police officers and swat units." He told her.
"What are these soldiers, swat and police you said?" She asked.
"A soldier can be a conscripted or volunteer enlisted person, a non-commissioned officer, or an officer. An individual who fights on behalf of a polity which is not their own, is referred to as a mercenary." Charlie said which made Luster Dawn swallow a lump.
"Swat, full name special weapons and tactics team, is an elite unit within a police force, used for exceptional situations that require increased firepower or specialized tactics." He delineated which sent chills down to Luster Dawn's spine.
"And the police force is a constituted body of persons empowered by a state to enforce the law, to corroborate the safety, health and possessions of citizens, and to prevent crime and civil disorder. Their lawful powers include arrest and the legitimized use of force."
Luster Dawn was drastically petrified when she heard the information. These humans must be very violent and malicious. She tried to ask more questions but she was getting very tired.
"Oh my, I'm getting sleepy." Luster Dawn said with a yawn.
Charlie looked outside and saw that it was very dark. It was probably 10:00pm. He then looked back at Luster Dawn and said "We should get some sleep."
Luster Dawn nodded and lied down on her back. After that, she immediately fell asleep, and the view made Charie snicker.
"Oh my, she must be a very deep sleeper." Charlie chuckled quietly. After that, he lied down on the grass as well and began to sleep, and every time he slept, it reminded him of the time of his parents accompanying him when he feels lonely. But then, he shook the depression out of his head and slept.

Heading to the Kirin village
In Canterlot. Twilight Sparkle and her friends have been captured and arrested by the invaders in green suits and black chest armor. And they are now being lead to the throne room by three of them, and they were carrying the same brutal black metal weapons.
"Don't attempt to make a reckless move." One of the invaders warned them, but they all replied by rolling their eyes in irritation.
Once they made it at the entrance of the throne room, two invaders pushed them open and the ponies saw the leader of the invaders sitting on a wheel chair in front of Twilight's destroyed throne. Then, the three invader pushed all of the ponies forward with their weapons, some had to obey their demands, and the view satisfied Jin.
"Well well well, looks like all of you have got yourselves in a very precarious situation now." Jin growled which made all of the ponies glare at him.
"Let me and my subjects go now you vile invader." Twilight demanded.
Jin stood up from his office chair and unsheathed his combat knife and held it in his right hand. After that, he held it at Twilight's neck level which made her sweat nervously. Her friends tried to intervene and assist her but two of the invaders aimed their petrifying weapons at them which made cease in their attempt.
"Do not tempt to challenge or underestimate me Princess Twilight Sparkle. Because if you do, you'll end the same way as some of your subjects did." Jin warned her which made her gasp in horror. After that, Jin sheathed his knife back in his holder.
"Wh-what did you do to my subjects?" Twilight asked in horror.
"None of your business." Jin replied simply. After that, he looked at the three of his men.
"Jiāng tāmen dài dào jùdà dìxiàshì de láofáng zhōng. (Get them to their prison cells in the enormous basement jail.)" Jin ordered.
"Shì, zhǎngguān! (Sir yes sir!)" The soldiers replied with a salute. Then they turned them around and lead them to the basement jail. But before they did that, a police officer charged into the throne room and saluted in front of the Lieutenant General.
"Jīn zhōng jiàng, jǐng wù rényuán liú chén wēng bàodào. (Lieutenant General Jin, police officer Lau Chan Weng reporting.)"
Jin turned around and faced the police officer.
"Shénme shì jūnguān? (What is it officer?)"
"Zhǔxí xiānshēng, xiǎnrán wǒmen de sǎomiáo yí zài gāi tǔdì shàng fāxiànle yīgè shèntòu zhě. Shèntòu zhě zhèngzài yǔ táolí de táowáng zhě lú sī tè límíng hézuò. (Sir, apparently our scanners detected an infiltrator in the land. And the infiltrator is working with this escaped fugitive Luster Dawn.)" The Police officer replied which made Jin's eyes widen.
"Nǐ shuō shénme? Shéi shì shèntòu zhě? (What did you say? Who is the infiltrator?)" Jin asked sternly.
"Wǒmen de sǎomiáo yí shuō, shèntòu zhě de míngzì jiào chálǐ·lín (Charlie Lam), tā shì yī wèi láizì àodàlìyǎ de 18 suì shàonián. (Our scanners said that the infiltrator's name is called Charlie Lam, and he is an eighteen years old teenager from Australia.)"
"Zhège shàonián zài nǎlǐ? (And where is this teenager?)" Jin asked.
"Hǎo ba, jíshǐ wǒmen méiyǒu zhège shàonián de míngquè wèizhì. Dànshì wǒmen quèshí yǒu táoshēng de táowáng guāngzé lú sī tè límíng de wèizhì. Tā hé nàgè shàonián zài yīqǐ, rúguǒ wǒmen zūnxún gēnzōng shèbèi shàng de Luster Dawn de zhǐshì qì. Wǒmen kěyǐ bǎ tā hé zhège shàonián dài jìnlái. (Well, even though we do not have a clear location of the teenager. But we do have a location of the escaped fugitive Luster Dawn. And she is with the teenager, and if we follow Luster Dawn's indicator on our tracking device. We can bring her and the teenager in.)" He replied. Then Jin began to give the police officer some orders.
"Hǎo ba Jǐngguān liú chén wēng Wǒ yǒu mìnglìng yào gěi nǐ. Wǒ xīwàng nín jùjí yīxiē tóngshì, zhuībǔ bìng dàibǔ zuìfàn hé shèntòu de shàonián. Jiāng gāi shàonián dài dào zhège bǎozuò shì dào wǒ de bàngōngshì, bìng jiāng Luster Dawn dài rù jiānyù, yǐbiàn fángbào jǐngchá gěi tā yīgè lìng rénshēng wèi de dǎjí. (I have an order to give you. I want you to gather some of your colleagues and hunt down and arrest the criminal and the infiltrated teenager. Bring the teenager to my office in this throne room, and bring Luster Dawn to prison so that the riot police can give her a daunting repercussion.)" Jin ordered.
"Luō jié shì jīn zhōng jiàng. (Roger that Lieutenant General Jin.)" Police officer Liu Chen Weng said with a salute. After that, he turned around and exited the throne room to gather some of his colleagues.
Twilight tried to question the invader on what it said but, three of his kind began to push them to the dungeon.
Outside of Twilight's taken over castle. Four police officers ran to the parking area at the destroyed garden. One of the officers then clicked on the unlock button attached to the key, and a police truck beeped.
*Beep! Beep!*
After that, the four police officers entered the police truck with a cell at the trunk and drove off to the location of the infiltrator and the escaped fugitive Luster Dawn.
In the cave where Charlie and Luster Dawn were sleeping. The sweltering sunlight shined directly at Charlie's back which made him wake up.
"I wake up with the sun shined at my back. How tremendous." Charlie thought aggravated. But when he got his visions, he saw that Luster Dawn was directly in front of him, and their lips were close to each other. And the scene made Charlie sweat anxiously.
"Okay Charlie, just slowly and cautiously inch yourself back." Charlie thought, but it failed because Luster Dawn let out a yawn and woke up.
"Uh oh."
"Uggh, what time is it?" Luster Dawn said quietly while rubbing her eyes. And when she got her visions, she saw that she and Charlie's muzzle's were very close to each other as if they were kissing, then she let out a tumoultous scream.
"AHHHHHHH!" She screamed as she pushed Charlie away from her and stood up on her hooves.
"Charlie! Why were you near me?! Were you trying to make a move?!" Luster Dawn said as she sent him a glare.
Charlie stood up and looked at Luster Dawn with an indignant expression.
"Now now now, this is not my fault because I was clearly sleeping in a far distance from you." He told her.
"Are you saying that it is my fault?" Luster Dawn asked irked.
"Well, you did snore and roll around last night." Charlie told her with an irritated expression.
When Luster Dawn heard the reply, she immediately blushed embarrassingly.
"Oh right, hehe, I do do that at night frequently when I sleep." Luster Dawn said with an embarrassed giggle.
Charlie chuckled from her remark. Then, he disregarded the previous event and began to talk about the adventure ahead of them to save Equestria from the Chinese.
"Okay Luster Dawn, do you know where we will be going?" He asked.
Luster Dawn tried to think but she had nothing in her head.
"Um... sorry to say to you Charlie but, I have no idea where we will be going." Luster Dawn said with a humiliated smile Which made Charlie frown.
"Now that is a problem I will dispute about." Charlie said with a roll of his eyes. He was going to say something else but then the diamonds on attached to the talisman on his chest began to glow which attracted both Charlie and Luster Dawn's attention.
"Whoa, what's happening?" Charlie asked while looking at the glowing diamonds.
"It's like they are trying to tell us something." Luster Dawn said, then she came to an understanding on what they mean.
"Oh I get it now! The diamonds are telling you all of the continents of Equestria."
"Continents?" Charlie asked and Luster Dawn replied with a nod.
"Yep, the purple diamond means Equestria, green means the changeling kingdom, blue stands for the dragon lands, white means griffonstone cloudsdale, and red means the Kirin village." She told him.
"Now that is cool." Charlie said astonished "So which place would you counsel us to go first?" He asked, and Luster Dawn began to think.
"Well, I wouldn't suggest us to go to the dragon lands first because it is quite far away near the changeling kingdom. Griffonstone is not that far but ot is near Kirin village. And obviously we cannot go to the diamond dogs place because all of the diamond dogs have been arrested and captured by your kind. So I would recommend us going to the Kirin village first." Luster Dawn said.
"Okay then." Charlie said with a nod, then he looked down on the glowing red diamond "What happens if I tap on the diamond- whoa!"
When Charlie tapped on the red diamond, something unique happened that startled him and Luster Dawn. A long red stream shot out of the diamond and pointed outside in a long red coloured line. Charlie must assume that it was guiding them for eh country like some sort of a GPS system.
"Whoa, I think the red stream is leading us to the Kirin Village." Luster Dawn said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go. We have a land to save." Charlie said energetically. After that, he walked to the exit of the cave and wore his backpack and put on his high tech science glasses and laboratory coat. After that, he and Luster Dawn exited the cave and followed the red stream to the Kirin Village.
Both Charlie and Luster Dawn have been following the red stream to the Kirin Village for five minutes now and Luster Dawn got hungry. When Charlie noticed this, he supplied her and himself with a sweet potato and Luster Dawn ate gratefully.
"Thank you so much Charlie." Luster Dawn said with a grateful smile.
"You are very welcome." Charlie replied with a smile and munching on his posts to breakfast.
But suddenly, his goggle scanners picked up a hazard again, and then it warned him.
/!\Proximity Alert/!\
When Charlie noticed the alert. He immediately froze in place and Luster Dawn bumped into his backpack.
"Oof! Why did you stop?"
"Hold on, my scanners detected a hazard." Charlie said as he took off his backpack.
Luster Dawn got baffled by the word scanners. She has never heard of the word/contraption scanner in her life. She tried to question him but then a loud vroom noise can be heard.
*Vroom!*
Charlie clicked on his scanner again and what he saw traumatized him because there was a police truck driving towards their location at their three O' clock position. He turned around and faced Luster Dawn and said "We have to get out of here!" And that perplexed her.
Charlie tried to grab her hoof and run away but he couldn't even make his move when the police truck parked twelve centimetres in front of them, but to Luster Dawn, it was an iron carriage with wheels, but with nopony dragging it.
Then, the doors of the police truck opened and four policemen armed with pistols exited the truck. But to Luster Dawn, they were the invaders, and she now began to tremble in fear. The four policemen stared at the two ponies with smiles on their faces.
"Looks like you two are in a tight spot." Police officer Liu said which sent chills down to Luster Dawn's spine. Then, one of the police officers pulled out his metal cuffs from his one of his pocket.
Charlie then stepped in front of Luster Dawn and began to defend her from the four police officers.
Author's Note
Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it.
Charlie was defending the petrified Luster Dawn from the four police units by stepping in front of her. And one of the police shook his head from his move.
"You think that can help?" The police officer asked in English.
"No, but none of you will be getting close to my friend." Charlie told them with a glare.
Then police officer sent Charlie an incredulous look.
"Did you call that pink unicorn a friend?" He asked.
"Yeah, so what's the big deal?"
"I don't think you understand what she and her fragile and vile kind has done to us in our country." Lau Chan Weng told him, and Charlie was perplexed.
"What do you mean officer? And what do you mean when you called her and her kind vile?" Charlie asked.
"Well you see one month ago, we were-" Lau decided not to share the classified information to him.
"Oh right, why would I even want to share this information to you?" Lau asked himself "I'm so dumb." He said.
"Why do you not want to share?" He asked.
"Why should I share the information?" Lau asked with a shrug "Besides, your not even from China, your from Australia Charlie Lam." He told him.
Charlie's eyes immediately widened in surprise and feart when he heard that. How did this police officer knew where he resides in? And how does he know his name? Did the Chinese also invented some sort of scanning technology almost similar to his?
"How does this police officer know my name?" Charlie asked himself in his mind petrified "Well, I mean, it's not that surprising because, China is also a very technologically advanced country, and the Chinese military are very powerful like the US military."
Charlie was going to ask the police officer some more inquiries he has, but he was cut off by a metal tinkling noise. He looked at the officer and saw him bringing out a metal handcuff. Then he began to approach him which made Luster Dawn tremble in fear while hiding behind Charlie.
"Anyways, you and Luster Dawn are hereby under arrest and will be coming back to Canterlot to be interrogated either by the Lieutenant General or the colonel." Lau said.
Once he got close to Charlie, he grabbed his hand or hoof and attempted to cuff him, but suddenly, Charlie revolted and punched the police officer in the snout. And the force of his punch sent the officer staggering backwards to the three of his officers. When the three other officers witnessed Charlie assaulting one of their colleagues, they drew their guns out and aimed it at their faces, but Lau halted them.
"Zhàn xiàlái! (Stand down!)" Lau ordered.
The three other officers were perplexed at first when they heard their superior telling them to stand down because, Charlie has just assaulted him, but they obeyed his order and lowered their pistols.
Lau then stood back up on his feet and starred at Charlie with a smile on his face which got him into a fighting stance.
"Heh, not bad kid."
"Thanks, just some martial arts backstory and a veiled warning to you if you attempt to arrest or attack me." Charlie told him "And if you even try to get you and your colleagues filthy hands me or Luster Dawn, I will give you a daunting and excruciating contusions on your faces." Charlie warned. And Lau chuckled from his words.
"Heh, such strong words from a young teenager. And here's the thing pal, back in my primary school life in Guangzhou, a school bully named Wan hai Zhou punched me in the face in the school cafeteria making me fall on the floor and drop food on my uniform which humiliated me in front of everyone. And do you know what I did in return?" He asked.
"Uh... I assume that you reported this incident to the principle's office because that behaviour is impermissible."
"No, you got it wrong." Lau told him "You see I used the study of Bruce Lee's martial arts movies and books to resolve this inefficiency, and at the end, the bully got into the hospital because of his selfish and reckless act and that is an indisputable fact. And it's also a good thing that no teachers or students saw me do that after school." He finished with a smile.
Charlie and Luster Dawn gasped in horror when they heard that.
"Why would you do that?" He asked "You cannot used savage brutality against a person even if they have bullied you, that's just a lethal act!" He said.
"Yeah." Luster Dawn agreed with a nod.
Lau Chan Weng chuckled at their reply.
"Anyways, where was I?" He asked himself "Oh yes, guys eliminate them." Lau ordered.
"Shōu dào. (Roger that.)" The three officers said in unison.
Then the aimed their pistols at them and Charlie's eyes widened and he stomped in the ground with all of his might. But what he didn't know is that his strength was making his horn glow.
"Suíyì shèjí! (Fire at will!)" Lau yelled. Then the three officers squeezed the triggers and shots were fired.
*BANG! BANG! BANG!*
When Charlie and Luster Dawn heard the banging noises. They immediately shielded themselves with their hooves and prepared to meet their fate. But unexpectedly, the bullets didn't even made contact with them.
"Huh?" Charlie said with a disorientate expression, he opened his eyes and saw something very unique, a large white circular barrier was protecting them. Charlie looked down and saw that the three bullets the police officers shot were on the ground squashed. He then looked in front of him and saw that the four officers were traumatized.
"Yǒu méiyǒu gǎo cuò? (What the heck?)" A police officer said startled.
"Whoa, what is this feature?" Charlie asked astonished.
"Why that is magic Charlie, and you have managed to activate a magical barrier without reading any books which is very impressive." Luster Dawn said with an amazed expression.
"Magic?" Charlie asked with a disorientate expression "Are you saying that this magic thing is like a weapon?" He asked.
"Sometimes." Luster Dawn said with a shrug "But, this barrier is established to protect you in case of an incoming magic blast or attack." She told him.
"Now that is awesome." Charlie said quietly. Then he looked at the four police officers "Alright you four I'll give you two options, one you can either go back into your car and go back to your Lieutenant General. Two, have an excruciating event with magic. So choose wisely." He told them.
Lau wasn't going to give up and fail the Lieutenant General that simply, he then growled and looked at his colleagues.
"Xiāomiè tāmen (Eliminate them!)" Lau ordered.
The three officers nodded and cocked their guns and aimed it at them.
When Charlie noticed the police officers guns aimed at them, he charged towards them with his barrier still active to prevent them from killing him. Then the three police officers fired shots at the barrier.
*BANG! BANG! BANG!*
Every bullets they fired bounced off the magical barrier, none making a crack on it mainly because of the weak calibre. And once Charlie has closed the distance between one of the officers, he jumped up and delivered a back kick to his face, and the force of his kick made the officer crash his head into the trunk knocking him out in the process. The second officer wasn't able to make his move when Charlie reverse kicked him in the face, and the kick made the officer spin mid air and landing on the ground roughly with a loud thud. The third police officer pulled out his nightstick and attempted to hit through the barrier with it, but when the metal stick collided with the white barrier, it got shattered into pieces.
"Heh, that was a temerarious move there buddy." Charlie told him, then he delivered a high rising kick directly at his chin, and the police officer instantly fell on the ground unconscious. And finally, Charlie faced the police leader with his barrier shut off.
"Now now now, you shouldn't do this, you can sentenced for assaulting an officer you know." Lau warned him.
When Charlie heard this, he looked at Luster Dawn and she gave him a 'beat him up' expression. Charlie nodded to her and looked back at the officer with a smile.
"Okay then, I'll defeat you another way." Charlie said which perplexed him. He then charged up towards Lau in an incredible speed which caught him off guard, then he jumped over behind him and wrapped his hands together which made him whimper. And finally, Charlie grabbed the cuffs off his belt and cuffed his hands.
"There, now get your colleagues back to your Lieutenant General or your police commissioner and tell them that none of you found me either because that I was off radar, or your tracker malfunctioned." Charlie told him. Then he threw the four officers back in the police car and one of them drove back to Canterlot.
Luster Dawn walked up to Charlie and looked at him with an anger and bewildered mixed expression.
"Why did you let them leave?"
"You'll see very soon Luster Dawn. The four police officers will not see me and you as savages." He told her.
Luster Dawn was going to say something back but something behind Charlie caught her attention, she looked and saw that they have arrived in the Kirin Village.
"Whoa look Charlie! It's the Kirin village!"
"What?" Charlie asked as he turned around, then he caught sight of a village in front of him. "Oh, is this the Kirin Village the red gem was guiding us to?" He asked.
"Yep." Luster Dawn replied with a nod.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and recruit some of the survivors residing or hiding here!" Charlie said as he ran to the village with Luster Dawn behind him.

Arrival in the Kirin village
Back in Lieutenant Jin An Rong's office in Twilight Sparkle's renovated throne room, Jin was starring angrily at the four police officers because of their failed obligation.
"Nǐmen sì gè zěnme ràng tāmen tuōshēn? (How can you four let them get away?!)" Jin asked.
"Bàoqiàn, xiānshēng! (Sorry sir!)" The four officers said loudly.
Jin didn't even want to talk to the four officers further even more.
"Bùguǎn zěnyàng, wǒ bùxiǎng zài tánlùn zhègele. Zhǐ xū zài lóu xià de xùnliàn hé péiliàn zǒngbù pǎo wǔshí quān. (Whatever, I don't want to talk about this anymore. Just go run fifty laps in the training and sparring headquarters downstairs.)" Jin ordered.
"Shì de xiānshēng! (Yes sir!)" The four officers said in unison with salutes, then they ran out of the throne room to the training and sparring headquarters downstairs.
Jin then sat back on his wheelchair with his right hand on his forehead trying to think of an improvisational plan to capture the Australian teenager and the escaped fugitive Luster Dawn.
"Lái ba, Jin Rènwéi, Wǒ bùnéng zhǐshì ràng nàgè wàiguó shàonián hé táotuō de táowáng zhě yīqǐ zài mǎshù chǎng yóudàng. Wǒ xūyào jísīguǎngyì. (Come on Jin think, I can't just let that foreign teenager roam around Equestria with that escaped fugitive with him. I need to brainstorm some ideas.)" Jin said.
But then, his computer in front of him began to beep. He looked in front of him and saw a red and blue indicator, the red one was bigger and the blue one was a little smaller.
"Zhè shì shénme? (What is this?)" Jin asked himself. He then clicked on the red dot and the computer monitor zoomed in at the indicator and let out some words.
Fugitive: Luster Dawn
Jin's eyes widened when he saw that his computer has detected Luster Dawn's location. He then clicked on the blue indicator and let out some words the same way it did with the red indicator.
Infiltrator: Charlie Lam
When Jin saw the details on his computer monitor, he began to send some teams there. He clicked on the button and saw three options.
Police force Military
Jin wanted to send some of his men to their location so he clicked on the military slot. But unexpectedly, it rejected him.
"Shénme a? (What the?)" Jin said to himself perplexed, then a large box appeared on his screen and inside the box was words, and they read.
大多数军事单位因其工作而无法使用，请选择另一个插槽. (Most of the military units are unavailable because of their work, please select another slot.)
Jin rolled his eyes in irritation when he read the box. He then clicked on the exit button and clicked on the police force slot, after that, he scrolled through standard police and riot police then he clicked on the SWAT team slot. And the same, most of the team's are unavailable because of their work, but except for six. Jin then scrutinized the six swat units and read their names and rank.
Chan Wen Cheng rank: Lieutenant
"Tāmen yīnggāi yǒu zīgé wánchéng zhè xiàng rènwù. (They ought to be qualified for the task.)" Jin said with a smile. After that, he clicked on the six boxes and clicked on the message box, then a large box appeared on the screen, and Jin began to type. After typing for fifty seconds, he clicked on the send button and everything was accomplished, and Jin finally leaned back on his wheelchair in a comfortable position.
"Hǎo ba, mùbiāo shíxiànle. Xiànzài, gāi xiāoxī jiāng fāsòng dào tāmen de shǒujī. (Alright, objective accomplished. Now the message will be sent to their phones.)" Jin said to himself with a smile.
In the canteen area of the renovated and taken over castle. Six swat units were eating their lunch with beer cans, and most of them were having a chat about their job and the vile creatures they have enslaved outside. But their chattering has came to a conclusion when all of their cellphones beeped. And when they felt the beeping noise, they immediately pulled their phones out from their pockets.
"Zhè shì shénme? (What is this?)" One of the units said as he turned on his phone. And a box with words in it appeared on their screens, and they read.
队长 (Captain) Wan Long Wei, 中尉 (Lieutenant) Chan Wen Cheng, 军士 (Sergeant) Lee Zi Xin, 和军官 (And officers) Lam Zhi Xiang, Lam Xie Li and Chan Yan Hao. 我对您有一个简单的义务，六个人，我的计算机已检测到逃逸的逃亡者Luster Dawn和渗透者Charlie Lam的位置。我希望你们六个追捕他们并逮捕他们. 他们的所在地是我的一些部队入侵的大陆麒麟村. 并且该位置将在您的手机上标记. (I have a simple obligation for you six, my computer has detected the locations of the escaped fugitive Luster Dawn and the infiltrator Charlie Lam. And I want the six of you to hunt them down and arrest them. Their location is in the Kirin Village, the continent where some of my troops invaded. And the location will be marked on your phones.)"
When the captain finished reading the message from the Lieutenant General, he lowered his phone and looked at the six of his men.
"Lái ba, huǒjìmen, wǒmen zǒu ba, wǒmen yǐjīng jiē dào zhōngwèi de mìnglìng. (Come on guys let's go, we've got orders from the Lieutenant General.)" Wan Long Wei.
"Shì, zhǎngguān! (Sir yes sir!)" The five units yelled in unison with saluted.
After that, the six swat units got up from their chairs and ran to the parking lot.
Once they got there. The swat sergeant Lee Zi Din clicked on the unlock button on the keys and unlocked a swat truck. Then, the six swat units entered the truck armed with assault rifles, pistols and combat knives and a rectangular shield. The sergeant then stuck the key into the ignition amd the truck produced reving noise. He then stepped on the gas pedal and followed the blue line mark to the fugitive Luster Dawn and infiltrator Charlie Lam's location in the Kirin Village.
The captain held his walkie talkie near his mouth and began to talk to the Lieutenant General.
"Zhōng jiàng Jin An Rong, Duìzhǎng Wan Long Wei Bàogào zhōng. Wǒ hé bān shàng de wǔ míng chéngyuán xiànzài kāichē qiánwǎng táofàn hé shèntòu zhě de suǒzàidì. Wǒmen hěn kuài jiù huì dài huí tāmen de xiùkǒu. (Me and five members of my squad are now driving to the fugitive and infiltrator's location. We'll be back with them in cuffs shortly.)" Captain Wan Long Wei said.
There were a few moments of static, then a reply was heard.
"Fùzhì nàgè, Duìzhǎng wàn, rúguǒ yǒu de huà Kirins Láizì cūnzhuāng de gānrǎo huì gānrǎo nín de rènwù huò qìtú ōudǎ nín. Yǔnxǔ pāishè. (Copy that Captain Wan, and if any of the Kirins from the village interferes or assaults you. Shooting will be permitted.)"
"Yībiàn yòu yī biàndì fùzhì. (Copy that, over and out.)" Wan said as he turned off his walkie talkie, then he looked at the six members of his platoon.
"Hǎole, shì shíhòu zài qílín cūn zhōng bǔhuò táotuō de táowáng zhě lú sī tè·límíng hé shíbā suì de àodàlìyǎ shèntòu zhě chálǐ·lín. Bìngqiě, rúguǒ cūnzhuāng zhōng de rènhé jūmín biǎoshì bù yuànyì yǔ wǒmen ōudǎ huò in yī, wǒmen jiāng yǔnxǔ shèjí. Míngbáile ma? (Alright men, it's time to capture the escaped fugitive Luster Dawn and the eighteen years old Australian infiltrator Charlie Lam in the Kirin village. And if any of the residents from the village attempts to assault or interefere with us, shooting will be permitted. Understood?)"
"Shì, zhǎngguān! (Sir yes sir!)" The five swat units yelled.
Charlie Lam and Luster Dawn have arrived at the entrance of the Kirin village. At first, they were expecting some residents but no one was standing at the front gate, not even a single guard.
"Huh? This is weird, there are suppost to be guards at the front entrance." Luster Dawn said in confusion.
"Are they off duty today?" Charlie asked her, and Luster Sawn replied with a shrug.
"I think we should go in and do a quick search. Maybe there are some remaining residents who are not captured by the Chinese soldiers." Charlie said. "And if we are lucky enough to find some, we can recruit them and fight the Chinese military, swat and police force occupying your land." He finished with a smile.
"That would be great." Luster Dawn said with a giggle.
Then, Charlie and Luster Dawn both entered the village without hesitation or signs of anxiety except for Luster Dawn. And after they have walked the long foot walk for fifteen seconds. They have made it in the large village. Charlie took a quick survey around the village and saw houses with wooden bridges of a child's tree house. Tall trees and a large pool fountain in the centre but no residents, and Luster Dawn was getting a little edgy from all of the silence.
Charlie then wore his safety goggle scanners and scanned the houses for any civilians hiding, but his goggles detected nothing. But suddenly, they heard a rustling noise behind them which made them turn around instantly, and Luster Dawn hid behind Charlie.
"Wh-what was that Charlie?" Luster Dawn asked.
"I don't know Luster Dawn." Charlie said with a shrug, then he began to communicate to whoever was hiding in the bushes. "Hey, whoever you residents are, we can assure you that me and Luster Dawn mean no harm to any of you. We just need your help." He said, but he got no response.
But unexpectedly, sixteen Kirins rushed out of their hiding areas and surrounded Charlie and Luster Dawn in a circle with spears aimed at them which made her hide in her mane. Then Charlie's goggles reviewed some words.
'Civilization detected'
"Yes, I can see that." Charlie said in irritation.
Then a Kirin with orange hair and red horn walked forward with a shorter one next to her. Charlie must assume that the orange haired one was the ruler. Then, the Kirin walked up to the two ponies and looked at them with perplexed expressions.
"And just who are you two? And who allowed you to enter our village without letting us know?" The Kirin asked, and Charlie must assume that it was a female. Then he began to communicate with it.
"Um... hello there fellow resident, my name is Charlie Lam, and this is my friend Luster Dawn." He introduced themselves, and Luster Dawn managed to stand up and look at the Kirins.
"Charlie Lam?" The Kirin asked with a bewildered expression "That's an unusual name except for the name Luster Dawn. And you two don't look like threats to me. Anyways, where are my manners? My name is Autumn Blaze." Autumn introduced herself with a bow.
"Well nice to meet you Autumn Blaze."
"Nice to meet you too Charlie Lam and Luster Dawn. And I am astonished to see an alicorn standing in front of me." She said with a huge smile.
"Well... um... yeah although I am an alicorn, I am actually not from here." Charlie told her. And everypony got baffled.
"What do you mean?" Autumn Blaze asked.
"Well you see um... I'm not from here, I am from Australia. And I am a human." Charlie told her and Autumn got baffled again.
"What do you mean? And what is a human?"
Charlie was going to delineate what a human is but luster Dawn interrupted him.
"They are the ones who invaded us." She said.
All of the Kirins gasped in horror and aimed their spears at them again and Luster Dawn immediately hid behind Charlie who is showing no signs of agitation towards the armed residents.
"Y-your one of the invaders?" Autumn asked Charlie.
"Precisely yes." Charlie said with a nod "But, I am not from where they are, I am from Australia and they are from China." He said.
"B-but, you invaders or humans have killed our ruler with that strange shiny thing of yours!" She exclaimed which made Charlie and Luster Dawn gasp in horror.
"O-oh no, I-I'm so sorry about this tragic incident, but we still need to require your assistance."
Autumn scoffed and said "Like that will happen, I will not fall for any of your greedy tricks."
"This is not a trick! This is a very dire and cataclysmic situation you all have! And do you want to be found by the Chinese army-" Charlie was cut off when his goggle scanners reviewed some words saying.
/!\PROXIMITY ALERT/!\
"Huh? What's going on this time?" Charlie said as he clicked on a button on his goggle scanners which perplexed Autumn Blaze.
"Um, who are you talking to Charlie?" Autumn Blaze asked but Charlie disregarded her.
Charlie then clicked on his goggle scanners again to see what was happening. Then the goggles camera zoomed out of the village and revealed a giant armoured truck, and the truck's side read 'S.W.A.T' then, Charlie's eyes widened in horror.
"Oh no." Charlie said.
"Oh no what?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Everyone, we have to hide. Some humans are heading towards our location!" Charlie yelled which made everyponies eyes widen.
"What?!" Luster Dawn exclaimed "But how did they?"
Luster Dawn wasn't able to finish her sentence when Charlie grabbed her hoof which made her blush furiously.
"There's no time for me to explain Luster Dawn. We gotta hide!" Charlie said as he ran to the bushes with the kirins behind him.

Special gadgets and plans
The Chinese S.W.A.T truck came to a stop at the entrance of the Kirin village. Captain Wan long Wei took a quick observation of the village through the window and saw that there were no civilians which was odd. Then he picked up his walkie talkie and began to contact the Lieutenant general.
"Zhōng jiàng Jin, Zhè shì wàn lóng wēi shàngwèi, wǒ hé wǒ de bānzi yǐjīng dàodále qílín cūn. Dànshì zhèlǐ méiyǒu rènhé wénmíng de jīxiàng. Zhǐshì yīxiē kōngdàngdàng de fángwū hé shùmù. (Lieutenant general Jin, This is Captain Wan Long Wei me and my squad have arrived in the Kirin village. But there are no signs of any civilization here. Just some empty houses and trees.)" Captain Wan said.
there were a few moments of static then a reply.
"Xiǎngliàng ér qīngxī de chuánzhǎng wàn. Dànshì kǎolǜ dào zhè yīdiǎn, wǒ dí shìbīngmen zhǐ xiāomièle cūnlǐ de shǒulǐng, zhǐ fúhuòle zhù zài nàlǐ de jǐ zhǐ qílín, yǒuxiē kěnéng duǒcángle, suǒyǐ wǒ xīwàng nín hé nín de tuánduì dàibǔ tāmen bìng jiāng tāmen jì gěi wǒ. Rúguǒ tāmen shìtú táopǎo, qǐng shèjí tāmen. (Loud and clear captain Wan. But consider this, my men only exterminated the leader of the village and only captured a few of the Kirins residing there, and some might be hiding so I want you and your team to arrest them and send them to me. And if they try to run, shoot them.)"
"luó jié nà gè zhōng jiàng (Roger that Lieutenant general.)" Wan replied. Then he looked at his men.
"hǎo ba , nán rén tīng qǐ lái ！wǒ men yào qù jī lín cūn dài bǔ táo fàn lú zī. lí míng hé shèn tòu zhě chá lǐ. lín, rú guǒ nǐ men zhōng rèn hé rén zhǎo dào tā men, nǐ men huì lì jí bǎ tā men dài shàng shǒu kào, fàng zài kǎ chē lǐ 。rú guǒ cūn lǐ de jū mín shì tú gōng jī wǒ men, jiù háo bù yóu yù de xiàng tā men kāi qiāng. lǐ jiě? (Alright men listen up! We are going into the Kirin village to arrest the fugitive Luster Dawn, and the infiltrator Charlie Lam. and if any of you find them, you will immediately put them in cuffs and put them in the truck. And if any of the residents in the village attempts to assault us, shoot them without hesitation. Understood?)" Wan Long Wei asked.
"xiān sheng, shì de, xiān shēng! (Sir yes sir!)" All of them shouted in unison.
After that, the six Chinese swat units got off the truck armed with assault rifles, pistols, one wielding a swat shield and sharp combat knives. And they were also wearing dark helmets and masks. They were scrutinizing the village searching for the fugitive Luster Dawn and the infiltrator Charlie Lam. And they are also observing their surroundings to see if there were any Kirins there remaining. If they find some, they can arrest them, but if they try to assault them. They will instantly resort to killing them. And Charlie was scanning the swat units with his goggles.
In the distance from the Chinese swat team, Charlie Lam, Luster Dawn and twenty two remaining Kirins were hiding in the bushes while looking at the Chinese swat units, and Autumn Blaze was petrified.
"Oh my, it is those humans who have killed our leader." Autumn said with a whimper '"And, why are they dark colored this time?" She asked.
"Well they are called swat. Full name special weapons and tactics, and they are a law enforcement unit which uses specialized or military equipment and tactics." Charlie replied which sent chills down to Autumns spine.
Charlie clicked on another button on his goggles and scanned the six units to read their identities. After scanning for ten seconds, his goggles opened up a box with words in it.
Wan Long Wei Age: 34 rank: Captain
After Charlie finished scanning the six swat units, he began to formulate a plan to defeat them. Obviously he can't tell everyone to charge towards them and deliver any possible attacks because the swat team could just shoot them or pin them down with their adroit combat experience in their training.
"What do you suggest we do Charlie?" Luster Dawn asked.
Charlie looked at his right and saw that there was also a large bush there big enough to hide fourteen people or ponies. He then looked at the left and saw a path that leads back to the entrance of the village, it has a few hiding areas, but it was worth a try. He looked at the twenty two Kirins behind him and has a great plan in his head.
"Alright everyone, I have a plan, listen carefully." Charlie said, then Luster Dawn and the Kirins came close to them.
"Okay, here's what I have in mind. I will split all you Kirins to groups of eleven." Charlie told them, then he looked at Autumn blaze. "Autumn Blaze, do you think that you can bring ten armed Kirins with you and hide in that bush over there to prepare for a stealth attack?" Charlie asked as he pointed at the bush.
Autumn Blaze began to think about the daunting plan for a moment. Although it will be a very hazardous obligation, but she couldn't let her kind be captured by those invaders or humans.
"I can do that." Autumn Blaze replied with a nod.
"Good." Charlie said with a proud smile, then looked at the other eleven Kirins on his right.
"Do you all think that you can take the left footpath and block the entrance of your village with your magical horns so that the swat team can't escape?" Charlie asked.
The eleven Kirins hesitated when they heard his order. But, they stuffed their agitation down and nodded.
"Good." Charlie said, then he looked at Luster Dawn.
"Luster Dawn, you and I will stay here and keep watch of the swat units while the Kirins do their part. And if you see any of them looking at their left and right at the Kirins locations tell me and I'll signal them." Charlie told her.
"Okay, but... how are you going to signal them?" She asked.
Charlie then reached into his backpack and pulled out some earpieces, but to Luster Dawn and the Kirins, they were earphones for singing on stage in a concert. Charlie then handed out one for each of them, and Luster Dawn and the Kirins looked at it with perplexed expressions.
"Alright you guys, listen up. These are called earpieces, used for communication purposes. And this is how you wear them." Charlie said as he began demonstrating "First you run this wire at the back of your neck, and clip it on." He said, and Luster Dawn's the Kirins followed his instructions.
"Next, take the coil tube and run it to the top of your ear." Charlie said as he showed them the coil and ran it up his ear. And everyone did as he instructed again, then a small mechanical noise could be heard which surprised them all.
"Alright, now for the final part I will demonstrate on how we can communicate with each other with these earpieces, I'll start with Luster Dawn first." Charlie said as he clicked on a very miniscule green button on the microphone and an option panel activated, he clicked on a small blue button and picked the panel with words pronouncing the name Luster Dawn. Finally, Charlie talked in the microphone.
"Can you hear me Luster Dawn?" Charlie asked through the microphone quietly which made Luster Dawn yelp, but she managed to tolerate it.
"Whoa, now this is amazing." Luster Dawn said astonished.
"Indeed it is." Charlie said with a smile, after that, he clicked on the blue button again and scrolled to another option, and the panel pronounced the word 'Everyone'. He clicked on the button again and everyone's earpiece made another sound.
"Alright guys, let's instigate the plan." Charlie said.
The Kirins nodded and began to commence the idea. Autumn Blaze and the armed Kirins began to walk to the right side of the bushes to prepare for the stealth attack on the invaders.
The other Kirins sneakily crawled to the left foot walk to try and get to the entrance of their village.
Charlie and Luster Dawn looked in front of them through the bushes to corroborate that none of the swat units were going to look at where the Kirins are.
While observing for twenty seconds, Autumn Blaze and the armed Kirins have made it to the bushes, and they were looking at the swat units sides. Then Autumn began to communicate with Charlie.
"Charlie, Luster Dawn. This is Autumn Blaze. We have reached the bushes and we are looking directly at the invader's sides."
Charlie clicked onto a small button on the microphone and began to send a reply back.
"Good, now tell your Kirins to prepare to throw the spears either at the swat units legs, chest and elbows."
Autumn Blaze nodded and told her Kirins to aim the spears in the air. The Kirins did what they were told and aimed their spears at the swat units elbows, legs and chests preparing to strike on Charlie's signal.
Charlie loked at his left and saw that the other Kirins on the left were nearly reaching the entrance of their village. But suddenly, one of the swat units was about to turn to his right which made Charlie's eyes widen.
"All you Kirins on the left, get down. A swat unit is about to turn to his right and face your location." Charlie said. And the Kirins immediately ducked down in the bushes. When the swat unit looked at his right and saw nothing, he turned back and returned to his work.
Swat unit Lam Xie Li was looking behind a tree but saw nothing. He then looked at his right and saw a hoof in the bushes in the distance. His eyes widened and he took cover behind the big log, then whispered to his captain.
"Duizhang!" Lam whispered.
When Captain Wan heard his colleague calling him, he quickly ran up to him with the rest of his men behind him. Once they reached him, they hid behind the large log as well.
"Zhè shì zěnme huí shì Lam Xie Li? (What's going on Lam Xie Li?)" He asked.
"Kàn zài nǐ miànqián dì nà biān. (Look over there in front of you.)"
Wan Long Wei and his team looked in front of them and saw a hoof popping out of the bushes. Wan then looked through the scope on his assault rifle and saw that there were around eleven Kirins hiding in the bushes. He then looked at his men and began to give them some orders.
"Kàn lái wǒmen fāxiànle zhōng jiàng tōngzhī wǒmen dì nàxiē qílín. Kàn qǐlái tāmen jiāngyào jìnxíng yǐnxíng gōngjí. (It looks like we have found some of those Kirins that the Lieutenant General was informing us about. And it looks like they are about to do a stealth attack.)" Wan said, he then looked at Lam "Hǎo de Lam Xie Li, Yīnwèi nín shì fāxiàn qílín de rén, suǒyǐ nín jiāng chéngwéi dì yī gè kāi qiāng de rén. Zài nín kāile dì yī qiāng hòu, wǒmen huì zài nín kāi qiāng hòu míngbái de ma? (since you were the one who spotted the Kirins, you'll get to be the first to shoot. And after you have fired the first shot, we will fire after you, understood?)" He asked in a whisper.
"Luō jié. (Roger.)" His men whispered back.
After that, Lam Xie Li aimed his gun at the body of the Kirin behind the bush. He looked through his scope and took a deep breath. Then he focused through the scope and placed his finger on the trigger. Once he has successfully focused on the Kirin, he gripped onto he trigger of his assault rifle and fired one shot.
*BANG!*
"Auughh!" A Kirin screamed in pain.
"What the?" Charlie and Luster Dawn said in unison with traumatized expressions. Charlie looked at his right and saw the swat units shooting the Kirins.
"Kāihuǒ! (Open fire!)" Wan yelled. Then his team jumped up from their hiding place and fired at the Kirins hiding in the bushes
The eleven Kirins hiding in the bushes at the foot walk were running back but many of them were shot at their backs. Some took cover behind trees but some bullets pierced through them and hit their chests which made them fall on the ground bleeding.
Charlie then contacted Autumn Blaze and the armed Kirins.
"Autumn Blaze now!"
When Autumn Blaze heard Charlie's signal, she turned around and looked at her Kirin friends.
"Alright guys! Throw your spears in the air! Make them pay for killing our friends!"
The Kirins nodded and jumped out of their hiding place with their right hooves swung back.
One of the swat units heard the yelling behind him and his team. He turned around and saw ten Kirins preparing to throw some sharp spears at them. His eyes widened in horror and he instantly turned around and called his captain.
"Duìzhǎng! (Captain!)"
When Wan heard his colleague calling him, he and his men turned around and looked at him and saw that he was pointing in front of him which made him disorientate. They then looked in front of them and saw ten Kirins preparing to throw ten sharp spears at them. Wan's eyes widened in horror and he looked at his men.
"Ràng wǒmen líkāi zhèlǐ! (Let's get out of here!)" Captain Wan yelled. Then all of them began to run back for cover but it was too late because the Kirins have already threw their spear in the air.
The spears flew up in the air for a brief moment then they began to fall to the ground in a hug speed. And the swat units were hit either in their legs, back or chests except for Lam Xie Li who has made it in cover in the nick of time. After the spears were finished raining down on him and his team, he looked at his colleagues and saw that most of them were down on the ground two had spears stabbed through their back and two were scratched on their legs and chests unable to get up, and the sight devastated him. Lam then looked at his right and saw his Captain on the ground with a spear stabbed through his chest, and Lam must've assumed that he has been killed. Lam then reached the captain's belt with his right hand and pulled out his walkie talkie. He placed it near his mouth and clicked on the button trying desperately to contact the Lieutenant General.
"Jīn zhōng jiàng! Jīn zhōng jiàng! Zhè shì tèjǐng bùduì lín xiè lì! (Lieutenant General Jin! Lieutenant General Jin! This is Swat unit Lam Xie Li!)" Lam yelled in feart hopping that the Lieutenant General will respond.
There were a few moments of static then a reply.
"Zhè shì jīn'ānróng zhōng jiàng. Lín xiānshēng, nín de qíngkuàng rúhé? (This is Lieutenant General Jin An Rong. What is your situation mister Lam?)" Jin asked.
Lam Xie Li clicked on the button on the walkie talkie again and began to send a reply back.
"Xiānshēng, wǒ mùqián chǔyú kěpà hé wéixiǎn de jìngdì! Wǒ de yīxiē tóngshì bèi dǎ sǐ hé shòushāng, ér wǒ de duìzhǎng yǐjīng sǐle! (I am currently in a dire and hazardous situation sir! Some of my colleagues are killed and injured, and my captain is dead!)" Lam yelled.
There were another few seconds of statics, them a reply was sent back.
"Hǎo ba, wǒ xūyào nǐ bǎochí lěngjìng. Nín jiāng lìjí jìnrù mìnglìng zhuàngtài. (Okay now I need you to remain calm. You'll be put in command now.)" Jin told him.
"Nǐ yào wǒ zhǐhuī ma? (You want me to command?)" Lam asked incredulously "Wǒ xiǎng xiànzài zhǐyǒu wǒ yīgè rénle! (I think it's just me all by myself now!)" He yelled.
"Zǐxì tīng wǒ de zhǐshì, nín jiāng huózhe. (Listen to my instructions carefully and you will live.)"
"Wǒ bù huì dāngzhōng jiàng! Duìbùqǐ! (I'm not gonna make it Lieutenant General! I'm sorry!)" Lam yelled in feart.
"Lěngjìng xiàlái, cǐwài, tāmen quándōu shì yīxiē cuìruò ér yúchǔn de shēngwù. Shēngwù jìshù shènzhì bùbǐ wǒmen hé qítā guójiā yōuyuè. Yīncǐ, jiù xiàng wǒ dí shìbīng rúhé zhàndòu yīyàng, nín kěyǐ háo bù yóuyù de qīngsōng xiāomiè tāmen. Nǐ lǐjiě ma? (Calm down, besides, they are all just some fragile and dumb creatures. The creatures technology is not even surperior than ours and other countries. So you can easily exterminate them with no problems or hesitation just like how my men fought them. Do you understand?)" Jin asked. But suddenly, a Kirin wielding a spear glared at the invader. Then he pulled him up with his hands up in the air.
After the intense battle, Charlie and Luster Dawn both walked out of their hiding spot and walked towards the three remaining swat units. Once he got to them, he surveyed their wounds and saw that they were not in a critical state. Then, he began to interrogate the three units. But an enraged one cut him off.
"What are you gonna do now? Are you going to murder us?"
"Bì zuǐ Zhōngwèi! (Shut up Lieutenant!)" The swat unit next to him whispered.
"Lǐzhōngshì zěnmeliǎo yǔ mǎshù yùndòng zhōng de qítā shēngwù yīyàng, zhège shàonián yǐ biàn chéng xié'è de móushā àn. Ér xiànzài, tā jiāngyào túshā wǒmen. (What's the problem Sergeant Lee? This teenager has turned into a wicked murder like the rest of the creatures in Equestria. And now, he is going to slaughter us.)" Chan Weng Cheng said with so much hatred in his voice.
Charlie then walked up to the Lieutenant. And Chan immediately held his head down when he saw the teenage boy looking at him. Then, Charlie began to communicate with them in Chinese.
"Tīng wǒ shuō nǐmen sān gè. Wǒ bùshì nàgè rě nǐ shēngqì de rén. Zhè dōu shì nǐ de zérèn, wǒ yào zuò de jiùshì yǔ nín de zhōng jiàng jìnxíng yīcì jiǎndān de tánpàn, bìng gàosù tā ràng tā dí shìbīng hé nǐmen tuōlí mǎshù, yīnwèi zhèlǐ de shēngwù shì shànliáng ér hépíng de. Tāmen shènzhì méiyǒu duì nǐmen rènhé rén zuò rènhé shìqíng. (Listen to me you three. I wasn't the one who provoked all of this to you. This is all on you to blame, and all I wanted to do was to have a simple negotiation with your Lieutenant General and tell him to get his men and you guys out of Equestria because the creatures here are kind and peaceful. They have not even do anything to any of you.)" Charlie said in Chinese. And Luster Dawn was truly amazed when she saw him communicating with the humans in another language.
"You can speak their native language?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Yes, I can." Charlie replied with a nod. Then an even more enraged swat unit spoke up.
"Nǐ yǐwéi tāmen hěn hǎo ma? (You think that they are kind huh?)" Chan Yan Hao asked, and Charlie instantly looked at him with a bewildered expression "It looks like the news from your country has deleted the video from what has happened to our country. You can side with them as long as you want to Charlie Lam. And eventually, you will see the truth of these vile creatures." Chan spoke in English.
Autumn Blaze growled and attempted to stab the invader with her spear trying to get revenge on what his kind has done to their leader, but Charlie ceased her by placing his hoof on her chest and gently pushing her back.
"Revenge isn't always the answer Autumn Blaze." Charlie told her. Autumn bregrudingly sighed and lowered her spear.
"What do you want to do with them Charlie?" Luster Dawn asked.
Charlie looked into her eyes and saw that she has a desperation of her wanting him to kill the swat units because of their wicked exertion and what their kind has done to them. He then looked in front of him and thought. After ten seconds, he has made his decision.
Charlie and Luster Dawn cuffed the two of the injured swat units and placed them in the back swat truck. And the unharmed one at the driver's seat. And their guns have been obliterated by Charlie's and Luster Dawn's magic beams. But Lam Xie Li was disorientate.
"Your letting us go?" Lam asked looking at Charlie, and he replied with a nod.
"Tell your Lieutenant General that you have just found me and Luster Dawn. And I have a message for him, if he tries to send more police officers, swat units or soldiers after me and Luster Dawn, tell them to bring me in only so that I can have a very simple negotiation with him." Charlie told him. After that, he closed the door and Lam immediately drove off back to Canterlot and to the military headquarters with his injured colleagues, but Luster Dawn was a bit edgy.
"Are you sure that they will give him the message?" Luster Dawn asked.
"They are the message Luster Dawn. And like I said, he will not see us as savages. And that would give me the chance to negotiate with him on setting you and your land free." Charlie told her.
"That would be great." Luster Dawn said with a smile.
Autumn Blaze walked up to Charlie with a grateful smile.
"Charlie, Luster Dawn. Thank you so much for your assistance in our village." Autumn said with a smile.
"You are very welcome Autumn Blaze." Charlie said with a bow "Say, we have a request that we would like to ask you."
"And what would that be?"
"We would like you to join us in our journey to recruit the remaining survivors in Equestria to fight the Chinese army. And taking your land back."
When Autumn and the remaining Kirins heard this, they immediately ehagn to tremble in anxiety.
"Y-you want us to fight them?"
"Yes."
"Uh...uh... oh right! I just remember, we have something to do so... uh goodbye!" Autumn said as she ran back into her house as well as the remaining Kirins. And Charlie had an incredulous expression.
"Your kidding right?" Charlie asked in disbelief.
"Well that went poorly." Luster Dawn said with a roll of her eyes. "What a bunch of cowards." She mumbled loud enough for Charlie to hear.
"Well I can't blame them. Because the Chinese army and police force are very powerful." Charlie said with a chuckle.
"Okay then, what should we do next?" Luster Dawn asked.
Charlie then looked down at the diamonds on his talisman.
"Well, you did say that this griffonstone cloudsdale is not far from here right?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah, it is not far from here." Luster Dawn said.
Charlie then pressed the white gem and a long white stream was shot out forward outside of the Kirin village and into the air which made Charlie and Luster Dawn's jaw drop.
"Wait wait wait. Is it in the sky?" Luster Dawn asked in disbelief. "How the hay are we suppost to get up there?" She asked.
"This is preposterous but, we still have to try." Charlie said with a chuckle. After that, he began to follow the straight white stream.
"Uggh!" Luster Dawn grunted with a roll of her eyes "I hope the griffons from the griffonstone cloudsdale can be more kind and brave than the Kirins." She finished indignantly. After that, she began to follow the white stream and Charlie.

Rough talk with the griffons
Charlie and Luster Dawn have exited the Kirin village and was following the white stream. And despite the previous failure of recruiting the Kirins, Charlie has a great assumption that the griffons will tag along and assist them to defeat the Chinese army but Luster Dawn was uncertain that they would help considering that many griffons have been captured and killed as well. Once Charlie and Luster Dawn have reached the end of the white straight stream, they looked up and saw that it was pointing up in the sky.
"Well, I guess we have to find a way to get up there somehow." Charlie said with a chuckle.
"Easy for you to say you have wings." Luster Dawn told him.
"Oh yeah, I do." Charlie said as he looked at his wings "Okay, how do I- whoa!"
Charlie moved his wings up and down for a few seconds and after a while he flapped harder and he was now hovering in the air.
"Whoa! This is awesome! This reminds me of the battle scene from Fast and Furious Hobbs and Shaw!" Charlie said astonished. But Luster Dawn was irritated.
"Well, how do you expect me to get up there?" She asked.
Charlie then looked at her and began to formulate a plan, he could carry her but he must assume that their weight was the same considering their height. And carrying a girl on his back would be a presumptuous and humiliating experience. After thinking for fifteen seconds, he has came up with a thought for her.
"Say Luster dawn, do you think that you can teleport with the magic you have?"
When Luster Dawn heard this, she immediately blushed in embarrassment because she has totally forgot that she had magic by her side.
"Oh right! Sorry, I totally forgot about that. I'm such an idiot."
"Eh it's alright. You don't have to blame yourself." Charlie assured her. "Now come on, we have no time to waste. We've got a land to save. As well as some negotiations ahead of us." He finished. After that, he began to fly upwards like a helicopter. And Luster Dawn activated her horn and teleported away with her magic.
Charlie has made it at the entrance of the griffonstone cloudsdale. And what he saw startled him because there were debris everywhere, broken and burning homes, blood stains on the walls as well as some bullet shells some were long and some were short. Then Luster Dawn teleported next to Charlie, but unexpectedly, she was holding his hoof, and the exertion has caused them to look at each other, and Luster Dawn had a huge blush on her cheeks but except for Charlie.
"Should we traverse the quiet and wrecked town?" Charlie asked with a small drop of sweat.
"Uh... uh... yeah, we should." Luster Dawn said with a nod. After that, she immediately let go of Charlie's hoof and proceeded with the obligation ahead of them.
Charlie and Luster Dawn began to initiate their task on finding any survivors residing or hiding here. They looked through some houses but to Charlie, they were bird nests. Most of the houses have burned to ashes and had bodies in the debris which petrified Luster Dawn. Charlie then activated his goggle scanners and scanned some houses made of nests, but every time he scanned one, no one was inside, just some blood stains, bodies, fires and bullet shells from some sniper rifles and a gatling gun.
"Did you manage find anything with that weird thing of yours?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Nope." Charlie said with a shake of his head "I did not manage to find even a single civilian hiding or residing here. Just some blood stains, bodies, fires and bullet shells, some are probably from a sniper rifle or a gatling gun which is kind of perplexing because, we humans can't fly." He finished with a disorientate expression.
"I can see why, because none of you have wings."
"Exactly." Charlie said with a nod "Anyways, do you think we should go somewhere else?" He asked.
Luster Dawn looked around the town for another moment and saw that there were indeed no griffons here. Some of them must have been killed or arrested by the aliens
"I guess we should." Luster Dawn said with a shrug "We have been searching for ten minutes now."
"Alrighty then. Let's go to the-"
Just as Charlie turned around, he saw a dark eagle with a body of a lion standing in front of him and Luster Dawn and it looks like it has gone through some rough and terrifying times. It had scratches on it's whole body, it was bleeding from his beak and head, and it's tail was messed up.
"What are you looking at Char- whoa!" Luster Dawn said startled by the griffons mysterious appearance. Then it began speaking.
"Wh-what are y-you two ponies doing here?" The griffon asked trembling in her sentence.
Charlie was going to reply to the female griffon's question but he was stopped twelve more approached them wielding spears and knives and all of them were bleeding and have scratch marks on their bodies. Then a white griffon with a brown lion body walked in front of the crowd and starred menacingly towards Charlie and Luster Dawn, and Luster Dawn swallowed a lump and his behind Charlie. Then the white griffon began talking.
"Ponies, my name is Gilda and why are you two in our town?" She asked.
"Oh um... well nice to meet you miss Gilda, my name is Charlie Lam, I'm a human from Australia." He introduced himself with a bow.
Luster Dawn slowly walked next to Charlie and began to introduce herself to the thirteen griffons as well.
"And my name is Luster Dawn."
"Okay Charlie Lam and Luster Dawn. What are you two here for?"
"Well, uh... we just want to require you and many other creatures assistance to negotiate amd fight the Chinese army and to take your land back that's all." Charlie told them, and all of the griffons got baffled.
"Um, pardon me but... what is a Chinese army?" A make green coloured griffon asked.
"Well, they were the ones who invaded imprisoned you all, but rest assured if we all work together we can-"
"Wait, you mean these Chinese army things were the invaders?!" Gilda yelled in a tumoultous voice which made Luster Dawn flinch except for Charlie.
"Yes, you are correct. And I am one of their kind actually. But still, we really need your assistance in defeating them." Charlie pleaded.
"NO! OUR LEADER WAS SLAUGHTERED BY THEIR STRANGE SHINY WEAPONS AND THEIR FLYING METAL MACHINES! THEY KILLED AND ARRESTED US WITH NO SIGNS OF MERCY! AND THEY ALSO CAPTURED MANY OF OUR YOUNGS!" She yelled.
Charlie tried to calm the over stressed griffon down.
"Look miss Gilda, you just need to calm down, take a deep breath and listen to us."
"NO! NOT ANYMORE, WE WILL NOT FALL FOR ANY OF YOUR KINDS SICK AND WICKED TRICKS!" She yelled. After that, Gilda looked at the twleve griffons behind her.
"Throw your spears at them and make them pay!"
The griffons nodded and swung their claws back which made Luster Dawn's eyes widen.
"Uh oh." Said Charlie.
Then the griffons threw their spears in the air. They flew up for a bit then began to rain down at them in a high speed. Luster Dawn then activated her horn and stood near Charlie.
"Time to teleport out of here!" Luster Dawn said. Then they have successfully escaped the griffonstone cloudsdale in the nick of time before the spears could bayonet them.
Back on the ground, Luster Dawn and Charlie Lam were teleported on the soft grass again. And Luster Dawn had an extremely irked expression.
"Auugggh! Why is everypony so stressed because of this situation!" Luster Dawn yelled in anger.
"Can't blame them, because the condition in your land is very petrifying right now." Charlie told her with a chuckle.
Luster Dawn groaned from Charlie's remark.
"So, where do you think we should go next?" Charlie asked her.
Luster Dawn thought for a moment whether they should go to the dragon land or the changeling kingdom, both are far and close to each other. After ten seconds, she has made up her decision.
"I guess we can go to the changeling kingdom. It is pretty far but, the King is very kind and friendly." She said.
"Okay, the changeling kingdom it is." Charlie said as he looked at the gems "Okay, so it must be the green gem here." He said as he pressed the green gem. Then a long green stream was shot out of it and it pointed straight through a forest.
"Come on Luster Dawn, let's go." Charlie said.
"Okay." Luster Dawn said with a smile.
Then the two began to follow the green stream to the Changeling kingdom to see the King and to convince him to help them to negotiate with the Chinese army along with some of his remaining kind.
Back in the military headquarters in Canterlot. Lieutenant General Jin was in the medical room looking at the three fallen S.W.A.T units. Chan Wen Cheng and Lee Zi Xin were lying on hospital beds while being treated by the medics and the unharmed one Lam Xie Li was sitting on a chair with a petrified expression.
"Lam Xie Li, nín néng miáoshù yīxià nín hé tuánduì zhíxíng rènwù shí fāshēng de qíngkuàng ma? (Lam Xie Li, can you delineate what happened during you and your team's mission?)" Jin asked him.
When Lam heard the Liuetenant General calling him, he immediately stood up and looked at him.
"Hǎo ba, ń, zhè jiùshì rènwù qíjiān fāshēng de shìqíng. (Well, um, this is what happened during the mission.)" He said, then he began to elaborate what had happened "Dāng wǒ hé wǒ de tuánduì zài qílín cūn zhōng xúnzhǎo shèntòu zhě chálǐ·lín (Charlie Lam) hé táotuō de táowáng zhě lú sī tè·límíng (Luster Dawn) shí. Xǔduō shǒuchí cháng máo de qílín zài guànmù cóng zhōng túrán chūxiàn zài wǒmen shēnhòu. Ránhòu tāmen bǎ guànmù cóng rēngle chūqù, chú zhōngwèi hé zhōng shì yǐwài, wǒ de bāokuò wǒ shàngwèi zài nèi de sān gè tóngshì dōu bèi shāle. Zài tāmen shòudào gōngjí zhīhòu, shèntòu zhě chálǐ·lín (Charlie Lam) yǔ qiúfàn lú sī tè·límíng (Luster Dawn) zǒuxiàng wǒmen.

(When me and my team were searching for the infiltrator Charlie Lam and the escaped fugitive Luster Dawn in the Kirin village. Many of the Kirins armed with spears popped up behind us in the bushes. They then threw the bushes and three of my colleagues including my captain were killed except for the Lieutenant and Sergeant. After their assault, the infiltrator Charlie Lam walked up to us with the prisoner Luster Dawn. And to our surprise, Charlie Lam was turned into an alicorn like Princess Twilight Sparkle, and he could speak Chinese.)"
When Jin heard the information that Lam told him, he was mad at first, but he was astonished by the teenagers field and transformation. He then told Lam to rest in his dorm. Lam nodded and exited the medical room and headed to his and many others dorm room.
After that, Jin looked at Zhou Chang Min a military captain. He was also one of the General's top soldiers, he mastered many martial arts training core program as well as some long range shooting trainings. But he is more proficient with firearms like pistols and assault rifles. When Zhou saw the Lieutenant General looking at him, he immediately stood up straight and saluted.
"Sir!" He yelled.
"Zhou Chang Min, wǒ xiǎng wèn nǐ yīgè hěn jiǎndān de rènwù, yīnwèi nǐ shì jūnduì zhōng zuì língqiǎo dí shìbīng zhī yī. (I have a very simple task I would like to ask you to do since you are one of the most dexterous soldier in the military.)" He said.
"Wǒ jiāng jiēshòu jīn zhōng jiàng de rènwù! (I will accept the task Lieutenant General Jin!)" Zhou said with a salute.
"Hǎo, xiànzài wǒ xiǎng ràng nín zhuīzōng àodàlìyǎ de shèntòu zhě chálǐ·lín hé tōngjī de táofàn lú sī tè·límíng. (Good, now I want you to track down the Australian infiltrator Charlie Lam, and the wanted fugitive Luster Dawn.)" Jin said. Then he pulled out an IPad sized tracking device from his pocket. After that, he tossed it to him and Zhou caught it with his right hand. He looked down at it and saw a small blue indicator and a large red indicator. And they read.
Wanted: Luster Dawn
Infiltrator: Charlie Lam
Zhou looked at Lieutenant General Jin and said "Nǐ kěyǐ zhǐwàng wǒ jīn zhōng jiàng. Jiù xiàng wǒ de péixùn yīyàng jiǎndān. Méiyǒu shé me néng zǔzhǐ wǒ. (You can count on me Lieutenant General Jin. Just as easy like the trainings I had. And nothing stops me.)"
"Wǒ xǐhuān nǐ de jīngshén, xiànzài jiù qù shíxiàn tā. (I like your spirit, now get to it.)"
"Shì, zhǎngguān! (Sir yes sir!)" Zhou said as he saluted.
After that, he exited the medical room and ran to the parking lot in the renovated garden.
Once he has made it to the parking lot, he jumped on a police motorcycle. He tucked the key in the ignition and it started to rev up, he then gripped onto the handle bars and twisted the right one. And the Zhou began to drive off to Charlie Lam and Luster Dawn's location by following the red and blue indicator on the tracking device.

Rough negotiations in the Changeling Kingdom
Charlie and Luster Dawn both have been following the green stream and walking in the everfree forest for fifty minutes, and Luster Dawn had a fatigue expression on her, except for Charlie, he is still in good health and is very vibrant because he needs to keep pushing himself forward in order to rescue the land from the Chinese.
"Uggh! This is so tiring!" Luster Dawn complained which made Charlie roll his eyes in aggravation.
"Calm down, we're almost there I can even see the end of it." Charlie said indignantly.
"Well I bet this trip is easy for you because you are never even tired." Luster Dawn groaned.
"Well, that's because I go to fitness first in shopping centers in Sydney." Charlie replied, and Luster Dawn got bewildered by the word 'Sydney'
"Pardon me but, what is Sydney?" She asked looking at him.
"Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia and Oceania. Located on Australia's east coast, the metropolis surrounds Port Jackson and extends about 70 km on its periphery towards the Blue Mountains to the west, Hawkesbury to the north, the Royal National Park to the south and Macarthur to the south-west." Charlie delineated.
Luster Dawn was truly flabbergasted by Charlie's interpretation of this strange state capital called Sydney. She decided to get more information from him.
"Can you tell me more about this state capital of your country?" Luster Dawn asked, and Charlie replied with a nod.
"Sure." Charlie replied with a nod. Then he began to give her some more informations about Sydney while they were walking to get rid off the amount of boredom she has "Sydney, capital of New South Wales and one of Australia's largest cities, is best known for its harbour front Sydney Opera House, with a distinctive sail-like design. Massive Darling Harbour and the smaller Circular Quay port are hubs of waterside life, with the arched Harbour Bridge and esteemed Royal Botanic Garden nearby. Sydney Tower’s outdoor platform, the Skywalk, offers 360-degree views of the city and suburbs." He delineated.
Charlie then looked at her and saw that she had wide eyes. He must assume that every information he represented to her has astounded her drastically. And she had an awe experssion on her.
"Wow." She said quietly "You humans must be very wise to create some contraptions." She finished.
"Pretty much." Charlie said with a shrug "But, we are sometimes very desperate for more sophisticated technology." He said with a chuckle.
Luster Dawn giggled when she heard Charlie saying that some of his kind are very desirous for a newer and more nifty technology.
Unexpectedly, Charlie and Luster Dawn's conversation has actually made them arrive at the end of the green stream. Luster Dawn looked in front of her and saw the gates of the Changeling Kingdom. But to Charlie, it was a giant beehive.
"Well here we are, the changeling kingdom." Said Luster Dawn.
"Now this is what I call a fancy apartment." Said Charlie.
"Um Charlie, this is not an apartment, it's a Kingdom." Luster Dawn corrected him.
"I know but, I'm just saying that it looks almost as tall as an apartment back in my world."
"Okay." Luster Dawn shrugged "And also, thank you for getting rid of my boredom from your talk about your country." Luster Dawn said with a grateful smile.
"You are very welcome Luster Dawn. So, shall we enter?"
"Yes."
Then, Charlie and Luster Dawn both walked up to the front gates of the Changeling Kingdom. And to Luster Dawn's surprise, there were no guards guarding the front gate. When Charlie noticed Luster Dawn's bewildered expression, he asked "What's wrong?"
"This is weird, why is there no guards guarding here?" Luster Dawn asked perplexed.
"Have these species been arrested and enslaved by the Chinese as well?" He asked.
"Some of them yeah." Luster Dawn replied with a nod "But, the King Thorax and a couple of his kind were not, I assume they must be hiding in here somewhere." She said.
"So, should we bust through instead?" He asked.
"That is a very violent act but, we have no choice." Luster Dawn said with a shrug.
Charlie and Luster Dawn both looked in front of the gate and prepared to charge through hoping to break the gate in the process.
"Okay, on three?" Luster asked.
"Yes." Charlie replied with a nod "On three." Then they both began to count to three.
"One... two... three-"
Both Charlie and Luster Dawn were not able to charge towards the gate when a dark shadow was seen on the ground in front of them. And the shadow made Luster Dawn freeze.
"Uh oh..." Luster Dawn thought petrified.
"I think there is someone behind us." Charlie thought, but without agitation.
Charlie and Luster Dawn both slowly turned around to see who was behind them. But suddenly, they have been snatched in a giant bag by an unknown specie. And they are now being dragged into the Kingdom.
"Thorax will be pleased." Said a deep voice.
The mysterious specie has been dragging Charlie and Luster Dawn for five minutes now. Luster Dawn tried to activate her horn and blast her and Charlie free, but every time she tried to stand she falls over because of the force of the drag.
"Luster Dawn." Charlie called her.
"What?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Would you mind?"
Luster Dawn then looked down and saw that she was sitting on Charlie. She immediately blushed as red as a tomato and got off.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed with a huge blush.
"It's alright, it's a little presumptuous but, I can tolerate it." He assured her with a chuckle.
Luster Dawn then let out a relieved sigh when she heard that he can stuff that amiss event down.
Charlie was going to say something but then, the bag was pulled open and the surreptitious specie pulled them out of the bag and onto the rough floor.
"Ooof!" Charlie and Luster Dawn grunted in unison.
Charlie was the first to regain his visions. He slowly looked up and saw a very unique creature. It was a green bug with orange deer horns, it had a purple coloured chest, wings of a fly or mosquito and a very weird mane which looks nothing like a horse or pony, and it appeared to be sitting on a throne in an open area which is a little bewildering because many Castle throne rooms have roofs, but this one doesn't. Then, the creature spoke up.
"Pharynx, who are these ponies that you have brought?"
"They are intruders Thorax, I spotted them trying to break into our kingdom gates." Said a very deep voice.
Charlie then turned around and saw another buggy looking creature almost interchangeable as the one sitting on the wooden throne. But this one was dark green coloured, and it's voice was very deep like Batman or talking into a gas mask.
When the dark green bug noticed that the white alicorn wasn't looking at his brother, he immediately pushed his head forward which gave Charlie an indignant experssion. Then, Pharynx left the throne room.
"Wow, what an impertinent jerk." Charlie thought angry in his mind. Then the bug on the throne began to interrogate the ponies.
"Hello there ponies, my name is Thorax and I am the King of the Changeling Kingdom." Thorax introduced himself.
Charlie was extremely baffled for the moment when he heard that this bug thing is a King. If he is a King, then why is Twilight Sparkle a Princess? Because a King does have more power than a Princess, and maybe a little surpassing than a President. Charlie then shook all of the perplexing questions out of his head and began to introduce himself to the King.
"Hello there King Thorax, my name is Charlie Lam." He introduced himself as he stood up "And this is my friend Luster Dawn." He said as he helped Luster Dawn up, and Luster Dawn immediately bowed to the King.
"Hello there King Thorax." Luster Dawn said.
"It is nice to meet you Charlie Lam and Luster Dawn. And it is an honor to welcome you to the Changeling Kingdom." Thorax said in a polite tone which made Charlie and Luster Dawn smile.
"Huh, King Thorax is very kind. Maybe he might be able to get help us on fighting the Chinese." Charlie thought.
"So, what are you two doing here?" Thorax asked. Then, Charlie began to delineate on why they are here.
"Well you see King Thorax. The reason why me and Luster Dawn came to your Kingdom is because there has been a very petrifying and hazardous assault in your entire land." He said.
"I can tell, because many of my changeling subjects have been enslaved and captured by those deadly invaders." Thorax said with a depressed expression "And there is no way that me, my brother and my guards can go there and save the ponies, yaks, griffons, my subjects, Ocellus and many more creatures from those invaders because, they could instantly kill us with those weird dark metal things of theirs." He finished disconsolated.
"Oh, I am so sorry King Thorax." Charlie said in sorrow.
"Yeah, me too." Luster Dawn said in sorrow as well "And that is why we came here for a very simple request from you." She told him.
"And what is that request?" Thorax asked.
Charlie and Luster Dawn both smiled when they heard King Thorax wanting to ask them about their request. Then Charlie began to delineate.
Outside of the Changeling Kingdom. The Chinese military captain Zhou Chang Min has made it to the front gates of the Changeling Kingdom. He then got off his motorcycle and looked at the red and blue indicator on the tracking device that Lieutenant General Jin An Rong gave him. After surveying it for five seconds, he has found out that he is in the right location of the escaped fugitive Luster Dawn, and the infiltrator Charlie Lam.
"Kàn lái wǒ yǐjīng dàodá zhèngquè de wèizhì. (Looks like I have arrived in the correct location.)" Zhou Chang Min said as he threw the tracking device on the ground. He then rolled up his sleeves and cracked his knuckles "Guāngzé límíng, chálǐ·lín. Zhǔnbèi bèi núyì. (Luster Dawn, Charlie Lam. Prepare to be enslaved.)" He finished with a wicked smile.
After that, he walked up to the front gates and kicked it open. And the force of his kick made the gates open and hitting the walls with a loud 'ting!' noise. Then, he entered the kingdom.
Zhou Chang Min then entered the Changeling Kingdom and walked through the large hall. After walking for a minute, Zhou encountered six bugs in armour with spears in their hooves. Then one of the bug guards yelled at him.
"Do not come any more closer invader! If you do, we will resort into lethal violence!" The changeling guard yelled.
Zhou chuckled from the changeling's precipitous remark. He then pulled out his pistol from his holster with his right hand and cocked it with his left hand. Then he began to communicate with the changelings in English.
"You want to fight? Then you got yourself one."
The six changeling guards were shocked when they heard the invader speaking Equestrian, it's species language was gibberish compared to theirs. The guard leader then shook the negligible thought out of his head and focused.
"Fine then! Have it your way!" The changeling guard said in anger. Then, he looked at the five remaining guards behind him. "Make this invader pay for what he and his kind has done to us and our friends!"
"Yes sir!"
Then all six of the changeling guards charged towards the green suited invader at the same time with an incredible speed not knowing what it is capable of. Zhou responded to all of them by raising his right arm and aiming his pistol directly at the leader of the guards. He focused his aim and gripped onto the trigger.
*BANG!*
Once the gun was fired, the changeling guard leader fell onto the floor lifeless with a blood dripping hole in his head. And the five remaining changeling guards were startled when they saw their fallen captain.
"Zhǔnbèi nüèdài nín bù qiè shíjì de cuòwù! (Prepare to be maltreated you impractical bugs!)" Zhou yelled. Then he charged towards the five changeling guards.
In the Changeling Kingdom's throne room. Charlie and Luster Dawn were stopped halfway talking about their request to King Thorax. And the reason why they ceased is because of a loud bang noise was heard not far from here.
"Whoa! What was that?" Thorax asked as he got off his throne.
Luster Dawn recognized the tumultuous bang noise. It was the from a gun of the invaders that Charlie described. She then immediately hid behind him.
Charlie stepped forward in front of Luster Dawn and waited until whoever was going to appear at the entrance of the throne.
While waiting, Charlie, Luster Dawn and Thorax heard some grunting noises as well following up with some loud bang noises, blood splattering and bodies falling on the floor with a thud. Seconds later, a changeling guard was seen thrown at the entrance the throne room. He was bleeding from his head and chest. He tried to get up and flee but suddenly, another banging noise was heard and the changeling was killed. Then, a soldier with wearing a military suit, a drak protective vest and armed with a pistol walked past the dead changeling and into the throne room. And Luster Dawn began to tremble.
"Who are you invader? And how could you kill my subjects?" Thorax asked with an enraged expression. But the invader didn't reply to him, he kept his focus on the fugitive Luster Dawn and Charlie Lam.
"Hǎo ba hǎo ba, kàn lái wǒ yǐjīng zhèngshì zhǎodàole láizì àodàlìyǎ de shèntòu zhě chálǐ·lín. Táolí de táowáng zhě lú sī tè límíng. (Well well well, it looks like I have officially found the infiltrator Charlie Lam from Australia. And the escaped fugitive Luster Dawn.)" Zhou said with a smile.
The voice of the soldier sent chills down to Luster Dawn and Thorax's spine. Them Charlie began to communicate with the soldier.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"A, wǒ de jǔzhǐ zài nǎlǐ? (Ah yes, where are my manners?)" Zhou Chang Min asked himself. He then began to speak to Charlie, Luster Dawn and Thorax in English "My name is Zhou Chang Min Charlie Lam, I am a military captain from the Chinese People's Liberation Army. And I have been sent here to arrest you, Luster Dawn as well the King." He said.
"Why?" Luster Dawn asked. But Zhou Chang Min disregarded her question.
"I don't even know why you would side up with these vile animals Charlie after what they have done to my country. I have read your file that the Lieutenant General gave me, and you are a very clever and astonishing M.I.T student who invents all of these very amazing gadgets and many more impressive and sagacious technologies." He said.
"I know but, what does this have to do with you trying to arrest us?" Charlie asked. And Zhou shook his head in disappointment from this question.
"I can't believe this, how would you think your parents will see you as?" Zhou Chang Min asked which made Charlie's eyes widen "You are a human, you are one of us. You are suppost to fight back all bullies and enemies just like how you are adroit with your martial art. But, you just sided with these cretinous creatures who has committed a heinous crime. Your parents would be so disappointed at a dumb son like you-"
Zhou wasn't able to finish his sentence when Charlie charged up towards him and delivered an excruciating punch to his chest. And the force of his punch made him fall on the floor resulting with a constitution on his chest. Zhou tried to get up but Charlie pinned him down with magic, and Zhou got petrified. Charlie was about to beat the soldier with no mercy but he just realized that this exertion was wrong because violence doesn't solves a problem. He then immediately deactivated his horn and backed away from Zhou. Zhou then slowly stood up and began to stagger to the exit of the Changeling Kingdom not wanting to pick up a fight with the infiltrator since he is an adroit martial arts master, and a very wise university student who is capable of inventing such technologies almost similar to theirs and various of other countries.
Charlie then turned around with a disconsolated expression when he heard the soldier mentioning about his parents.
"How the heck does this soldier know about my parents?" Charlie thought depressed.
When Luster Dawn noticed Charlie's disconsolated expression as he was about to cry. She then walked up to him and began to comfort him.
"Charlie? Are you okay?" She asked.
Charlie looked at her and said "Yes, I'm fine." Which made Luster Dawn sigh in relief, but Thorax had an enraged expression on him.
"Wait a minute, Charlie Lam, your not an alicorn?" Thorax asked with a traumatised and anger mixed expression.
"No I'm not King Thorax." Charlie replied with a shake of his head "I am a human being homo sapiens. And that soldier was actually one of my kind. I was turned into an alicorn because I wanted to succour all of you creatures and assist you all in taking your land back. So King Thorax, we really need your help." He pleaded.
Thorax responded by spreading his wings and activating his horn and glaring at them which gave Luster Dawn an 'Uh oh' expression.
"You think that I would help you when your kind killed, enslaved and slaughtered many of my changeling subjects?" Thorax asked in anger.
"King Thorax, please calm down-"
"No! Leave the throne room immediately you two! Or I will blast you all out of here!" Thorax yelled as he charged his horn even more.
When Charlie noticed Thorax's horn glowing as bright as the sun. He immediately grabbed Luster Dawn's hoof and ran to the exit of the Changeling Kingdom.
Once Charlie and Luster Dawn have made it out of the Changeling Kingdom. They immediately began to catch their breath.
"Okay seriously, what is wrong with everyone?!" Luster Dawn exclaimed in anger.
"Can't blame them. After all, I am a human. And I am not one of your kind. Not loving or peaceful." Charlie said.
Luster Dawn tried to say something else but she had nothing to add so she sighed and looked at Charlie.
"Okay so should we go to the dragon lands? Because that is our last destination and our only hope." She said.
"Yes we should. And hopefully the dragons from there are more nicer." Charlie said, then he looked down on the talisman on his chest and pressed the blue gem. Then a long blue stream was shot out of it and it shot to an area with volcanos not far from the changeling kingdom which kind of startled Charlie a little but he managed to stuff it down.
"Come on, let's go." Charlie said.
"Okay." Luster Dawn said with a nod.
After that, Charlie and Luster Dawn began to follow the blue stream to the dragons land to recruit the remaining dragons residing there and hoping that the dragons there are more kind.

Failed confrontations in the dragons land
Charlie and Luster Dawn both have been following the long blue stream leading to the Dragons Land for six minutes now. While they were walking, Charlie had a very disconsolated expression because he remembered what the Chinese soldier said about him and his family, and there were so many inquiries in his head. How did the Chinese soldier know his identity and past? Does the rest of the Chinese military know about him along with the police force? Then, a daunting and touching memory came in his head. And this was the memory of his father.
December 24th 2009
There was a huge fire in a skyscraper in Sydney, many were killed and injured from the infernos and most of the NSW firefighter units have been injured from the fire. And the remaining firefighters inside the skyscraper began to evacuate the building along with some wounded because the NSW police tactical response units were about to explode the skyscraper. And the reason why they are doing that is because they need to prevent the skyscraper from toppling down into the center of the town. And Charlie's father Andrew Lam along with the rookie George Jackson were in the basement of the skyscraper to rescue their fellow sergeant Mark Elliot and seven wounded. They went through the exit gate of the basement water supplier area to reunite with sergeant Mark and the seven wounded but then, the sound of the gate closing stopped the rookie George Jackson in his track. He turned around and saw that his captain Andrew Lam was at the other side of the gate, and his helmet was placed at his side.
George then ran up to the gate and gripped onto the bars.
"Captain, what's going on?" George asked with a petrified and anxious expression. But Andrew replied with a warm smile to his fellow rookie.
"Go in, all of them are waiting for you to save them." Andrew said with a warm smile.
"Wait, we were suppose to stick the C-4's on the water tanks and explode it and ride the currents to the exit of the-"
"The detonator has been lost. I have to stay and explode the bombs manually." He told him.
George was traumatized when he heard that his captain has lost the detonator for the C-4'S. Then he banged onto the bars again.
"No wait! Let me stay!" He pleaded.
"George, I am not doing this to save you. I am doing this for all of the civilians you can save in the future." Andrew told him "You are a great firefighter George consider that. And one day, you'll eventually become a captain as well. And please, give my helmet to my son." He finished with a warm smile. After that, Andrew began to walk back to the water tanks. While he was walking, he heard the voice of his rookie calling for him again.
"Captain! Captain!" George cried.
At the skyscraper basement water tank area. Andrew pulled open the seal cover on one of the C-4'S he has on his hand. He then looked at the circular red button on the top right corner and must assume that it was the button for exploding the C-4. Before he pressed the button, Andrew pulled out a small photo of him and his five year old son Charlie Lam, and he began to cry.
"Charlie, my son... I am so sorry... for all of the lies I made... all you wanted is for me to take a break from work... and have a nice family dinner on Christmas... but it looks like daddy cannot come back this year..." Andrew said between cries. he then hugged the photo and placed his right finger on the circular red button.
"Charlie, Wendy. I love you two so much." Andrew said. After that, he pressed the circular red button on the detonator and all of the C-4's exploded. Then, tons of water were released from the tanks and rushed to Sergeant Mark Elliot , Rookie George Jackson and the wounded.
Once the water has splashed all of them. They all rode the currents in the sewer area to get to the ocean were the water rescue team will pick them up.
After one minute, Mark, George and the wounded have safely made it to the ocean and out of the toppled skyscraper. Then the water rescue team swam to their location and picked them up on large boats. Mark and George both looked at the toppled skyscraper and saluted to their brave Captain Andrew Lam. Thanking him for his heroic savior, guidance and sacrifice.
Charlie nearly shed a tear when he remembered that depressing memory of his father's heroic sacrifice during that skyscraper fire in Sydney. But then, he was snapped out of it when Luster Dawn called him.
"Charlie? Charlie?"
When Charlie heard Luster Dawn, he immediately shook his head and snapped out of it. Then he looked at Luster Dawn.
"Oh! Um... what's the matter Luster Dawn?"
Luster Dawn was a little worried about Charlie. But, she shook her head and said "We have arrived at the entrance of the dragon lands Charlie."
Charlie then looked in front of him and saw very astonishing things. It was a country with four volcanoes almost similar to the ones in Hawaii except it had less. Lava pouring from the peak, rocky mountains and stone seats.
"Whoa, now this place is very extraordinary and cool." Charlie thought.
"I sure do hope that the dragons are more kind and less stubborn compared to the Kirins, Changelings and Griffons." Luster Dawn said with a roll of her eyes.
"Me too." Charlie agreed with a nod "Now let's go in and see if there are any remaining residents hiding or residing here." He said.
Luster Dawn nodded and the two entered the land without hesitation.
While walking, Charlie and Luster Dawn strolled through some rocky paths with no anxiety of the environment. And the whole place seems very empty like the Kirin Village, Griffonstone Couldsdale and the Changeling Kingdom.
Everything seem very safe and quiet for a moment but that was Luster Dawn gave out a startled yelp.
"Eeeep!"
When Charlie heard Luster Dawn's yelp, he turned around and looked at her and saw her starring at something very spine-chilling and she looked very unnerving. He then looked at where she was looking and saw something very traumatizing. There was a green dragon lying on the rocky ground with no signs of life.
"Oh my, what happened to this dragon?" Luster Dawn asked petrified.
Charlie bent down and carefully scrutinized the green dragon. First, he extended his right hoof and placed it on his neck area to check if the carotid pulse was in good condition, but it wasn't pumping so he must be dead. Charlie then sighed sadly and removed his hoof away from the dragon's neck.
"He's gone." Charlie told Luster Dawn.
When Luster Dawn heard this, she gasped in horror and covered her muzzle with her hooves.
Charlie's slowly looked down at the dragon's chest area and found some evidence.
"Huh? What's this?" Charlie asked himself quietly.
He then looked closer and saw twelve bullet wounds in the dragons chest. He observed it for a few seconds and saw that they were 5.8x42mm calibre bullets, probably from a QBZ 191 assault rifle.
"Whoa, looks like there was a daunting struggle between the dragon and a soldier." Charlie said. And Luster Dawn got affrightened by Charlie's information.
"There must've been a spine-chilling conflict between the dragons and the Chinese." Luster Dawn said trembling in her words.
"Indeed there was." Charlie said as he stood up, them he looked at her "I can't believe that the Chinese soldiers would do such a menacing thing. And were there any dragons arrested and enslaved in your capital?" He asked her.
"Yeah." Luster Dawn replied with a nod "Many of them, but some were killed." She finished with a disconsolated expression.
"I'm so sorry Luster Dawn. But be assured, I will make sure that all of the creatures in the land will be saved by the Chinese, and I will not rest until I succeed." He told her.
Luster Dawn was truly astonished by his words.
"Thank you so much Charlie, I am glad that I have met a friend like you." She said with a smile.
"You welcome." Charlie said while rubbing the back of his head with his right hoof "So, should we resume on finding the remaining dragons?" He asked.
"Yes we should." Luster Dawn replied with a nod.
"Great." Charlie said with a smile "Love your enthusiasm, so let's continue."
Luster Dawn giggled when she heard the remark.
Then Charlie and Luster Dawn resumed on proceeding forward. But suddenly, a spear was thrown the ground near them which made them stop in their tracks.
"Whoa! What was that?!" Luster Dawn exclaimed in fear.
Charlie noticed that the spear was thrown on their right side. He looked at his right and saw a grey scaled coloured two legged and two winged dragon standing on a mountain. And it was glaring at them, and it also looked like it has been beaten up very badly considering the bruise marks and blood on his body and face. Then, it looked behind him and yelled.
"Everyone! Charge towards the ponies!" The dragon yelled and it was a male.
Once the male dragon has yelled that, he flew down towards Charlie and Luster Dawn along with fourteen multi coloured dragons behind him.
When Charlie noticed this, he grabbed Luster Dawn's hoof again and attempted to run to the exit with her. And Luster Dawn immediately blushed when Charlie held her hoof again.
Charlie then turned around and began to run to the exit with Luster Dawn behind him but, three more dragons stopped them in their tracks, and these ones have lots of constitutions on their chests, legs, wings and faces which startled Charlie.
Then, the fifteen dragons behind them have officially made it at the location and surrounded them with spears. And some had torn metal armour. Charlie examined the dragons and saw that they have been brutally attacked by some soldiers either with batons, knives or by combat. And the torn metal armour they were wearing were probably shot by some 20 gauge shotgun shells, and 7.62mm sniper rifle bullets.
"Whoa, these dragons must have experienced some arduous and daunting events." Charlie thought.
"Just one minute and fifty five seconds here and we are already being threatened." Luster Dawn whispered to Charlie indignantly.
"Can't blame them, they do look like they have went through some rough and eerie incidents." Charlie whispered back.
"Make way!" A female voice shouted in the crowd.
Charlie and Luster Dawn looked forward and saw that fifteen of the dragons were separating each other as if like they were making way for someone to go through. Once the fifteen dragons have accomplished that, Charlie and Luster Dawn saw a light blue scaled dragon with blue wings in a torn golden armour. Charlie scrutinised the female dragon and saw that it has gone through some rough moments considering the torn golden armour she was wearing, as well as many bruises on her face, wings and legs. Then, the female dragon began to walk to the stallion alicorn and unicron mare. She then stopped 7cm away from them.
"Who are you two? And why are you in our land?" The dragon demanded an answer.
"Oh... um... hello there ma'am, my name is-"
"My name is Ember, not ma'am. And I am the Princess here."
"Well nice to meet you Princess Ember, my name is Charlie Lam, and this is my friend Luster Dawn." Charlie introduced. And Luster Dawn waved anxiously at Princess Ember.
Ember was truly baffled by the name Charlie.
"Charlie Lam?" She asked perplexed "That's an unusual name except for Luster Dawn. Anyways I'll as you again, why are you two in my land?" She demanded again.
"Oh well, please forgive our ill-mannered entry without you all knowing. And the reason why we are here is because, we need your help." Charlie told her, and Ember and her dragons got disorientate.
"And why do you want our assistance?" Ember asked. Then, Luster Dawn began to delineate.
"Well you see Princess Ember, the reason why we came here looking for your assistance is because our land is in grave danger as you can see. And me and Charlie are recruiting the remaining survivors across the land to hope that we can fight back against the humans that have taken over our entire land. We have went to ask for aid in the Kirin Village, Griffonstone cloudsdale and Changeling Kingdom but they all refused to help." She said with a depressed expression.
When Ember heard the information, she was shocked that most of the creatures from different lands repudiated to help them on fight back against the invaders and taking their land back. But what baffled her was the word human.
"Um pardon me but... what's a human?" She asked. Then Charlie began to delineate.
"Humans are homo sapiens, very intelligent. And they were the ones who invaded you all." He said.
"Wait, you mean those invaders are called humans?" She asked.
"Yes, and that is why we-"
Charlie was cut off when Ember gave him a suspicious expression which perplexed Charlie and Luster Dawn.
"Hold on a second mister Charlie Lam. How do you know about these humans if you are an alicorn?" Ember asked.
When Luster Dawn heard the question, she immediately began to sweat apprehensively because, Charlie was not one of her kind, he is one of the invaders despite the fact that he is from a different country. And she had an 'Uh oh' expression on her muzzle.
When Charlie heard Princess Ember's inquiry. He sighed and began to blurt everything out.
"Well you see Princess Ember, I'm not an alicorn actually." He said, and all of the dragons got bewildered.
"What do you mean?" Ember asked.
"Well, to be honest. I am actually a human who has transformed into an alicorn." Charlie confessed the truth.
All of the dragons gasped in horror when they heard that. The dragons armed with spears tightened their grips on their weapons and flared at them, and the exertion made Luster Dawn swallow a lump.
"Y-your one of the invaders?" Ember asked with an anger and horror mixed expression.
"Yes, I am but I can assure you that I am not a threat."
"Not a threat?" Ember asked getting even more vexed "Your kind has killed my father with their monstrous long weapons that has killed many of my kind. And many were arrested including some of our youngs! And we were left to suffer with very small amounts of resources!" Ember exclaimed which traumatized Charlie and Luster Dawn.
"Oh my, I am so sorry Princess Ember." Charlie said in sorrow "But, if you comply with us, we can-"
Charlie wasn't able to finish his sentence when Ember roared out some purple flame which made Luster Dawn jump. After five seconds, Ember ceased her flame and sent Charlie a glare.
"Do you honestly think that I will help you after what your kind has done to us and our friends? Your kind enslaved and slaughtered us! And how can we know that you are not going to transfer us to them?"
Charlie tried to calm the enraged Princess down.
"Princess Ember, try to calm down-"
"NO! WE WILL NOT FALL FOR YOU AND YOUR KINDS VILE TRICKS! NOW LEAVE!"
Charlie tried to sooth her down by confronting again but suddenly, all of the dragons surrounding them began to breath in and preparing to shoot out fire from their mouths.
When Luster Dawn noticed the fire inside of the dragons mouths. She immediately got near Charlie and activated her horn and established their escape.
"Time to go!" Luster Dawn said.
Then, Luster Dawn has successfully teleported her and Charlie out of the dragons lands in the nick of time before the dragons could burn them into smithereens. And they were standing at the entrance.
Charlie and Luster Dawn were both traumatized and relieved after their escape.
"Thanks for the bright idea Luster Dawn." Charlie said with a grateful smile.
"Your welcome." Luster Dawn said between breaths after escaping that daunting situation. Then, her smile on her muzzle disappeared and she was infuriated.
"Uggh! That was our last destination!" Luster Dawn exclaimed "We went to look for assistance the Kirin Village, Griffonstone Cloudsdale, Changeling Kingdom and Dragons land, and the Kirins, Griffons, Changelings and Dragons all declined to assist us! Why is everypony so stubborn?!" She asked with an enraged expression.
"Again, I can't blame them since I am one of their kind."
"I know but, you had nothing to do with this! Everypony is so disrespectful! Why are the Chinese even invading us?!" She exclaimed with tears forming in her eyes.
When Charlie noticed the tears in her eyes. He closed in on her and hugged her, and Luster Dawn cried into his shoulder. And her tears flowed through his broken science coat.
"Shhh, there there Luster Dawn calm down, let everything out." Charlie comforted. And Luster Dawn began to let everything out by crying.
"Do you want to go back to Canterlot?" He asked "Maybe I can come up with some bright ideas on how to negotiate with the Chinese peacefully and there will be a potential chance that the leader will release you all." He finished with a smile.
Luster Dawn released her grip from Charlie and sobbed.
"Okay." Luster Dawn said with a nod "I just hope that we can make all of this right again because, I want all of this drama and killing to stop." She said with a sob.
"I hope so too, and I solemnly swear that I will protect you and save you and your friends from the Chinese."
Luster Dawn was truly grateful when she heard his words. She has never met such a kind and brave stallion or human like him before.
"Alright, let's go back to Canterlot." She said.
Charlie nodded and looked down at the purple gem representing Equestria attached in his golden talisman. He then pressed it and a long purple stream was shot out of it, and it lead directly to Canterlot.
"Come on, let's go."
Luster Dawn nodded and began to follow the purple stream hastily with Charlie next to him.

Canterlot 7:00am
In Twilight's castle in Canterlot. Twilight and her friends were in their jail cell in the dungeons and in cuffs, and the reason why they were put there instead of the throne room which has turned into the invader's office was because this was their repercussion from their temerarious escape, and their mistakes in building large walls.
"What are they going to do to us today?" Fluttershy asked petrified.
"I don't know." Twilight replied with a shrug "But one things for sure is that we have to be obedient or we will either get whipped or killed." She said.
"What kind of talk was that Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked incredulously. "Are you trying to work with the invaders?"
Twilight looked at her and said "No I'm not."
"Then why do you look like you are trying to be nice to them?" Applejack asked.
"Look girls, I'm trying to keep you all safe."
"Keep us safe by coorporating with the invaders?" Rarity asked with a bewildered and enraged mixed expression.
"No." Twilight replied to Rarity with a shake of her head "Besides, I can keep you all safe while working. And remember, Charlie and Luster Dawn are still out there trying to recruit the remaining survivors across the land. And once they return with reinforcements, we can surely be able to fight back against the invaders." She finished feeling phlegmatic.
Her friends tried to add something in but they were cut off when the titanium door to their cell was pushed open to the side by an invader. And the force of the invader's push made the door crash roughly into the side making a loud bang noise in the process which startled all of them. Twilight looked in front of her and saw that it was an invader in dark armour which is more stronger than the standard royal guards. Metal leg pads, and was wearing a helmet with strange words '警察' shown on the top of the helmet. It was also armed with a dark metal stick, a canister in his belt that can damage your eyes, and was wielding a round shield with two more strange words showing '防瀑'. And the invader was the same as the ones who enslaved them since the four days.
Then, the invader walked up towards them with an enraged expression.
"Get up you all! It's time to go back to work!" He yelled in English.
Twilight, and her friends obeyed and slowly stood up. Then, the invader grabbed Twilight's cuff and threw her out of her cell.
"Ooof!" Twilight grunted as she collided with the brick wall.
Then, another invader in a dark suit wielding the strange metal weapon grabbed her cuffs and began to drag her roughly outside of Canterlot.
Twilight looked behind her and saw that her friends were also being dragged roughly. Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Spike and Pinkie were being pushed by five dark suited invader's wielding their scary metal weapons. And Cheese Sandwich, Lil Cheese, Fluttershy and Applejack were being pushed by four dark armoured invaders wielding dark sticks and circular shields. And one of the invader was holding Lil Cheese as if he is a small toy, Cheese and Pinkie wanted to help their son but, the invaders could instantly kill them so they bregrudingly had to corporate with them.
And the sight made Twilight very disconsolated because from the day she was the new ruler of Equestria, everything was peaceful and friendly. But right now, Equestria has became a war zone since the invaders arrival.
Once the nine invaders have finished pushing and dragging and pushing the eight ponies and one dragon out of the castle and into the open. They uncuffed their hooves, but Rainbow Dash, Twilight and Fluttershy's wings were still cuffed, so there were no way for them to fly away. Even if they did, the invaders could instantly finish them.
Then, the swat units pushed the ponies forward with their guns, and the riot police pushed the ponies in front of them with their riot shield. And Lil Cheese was thrown onto the ground by one of them making Cheese and Pinkie gasp in horror and rush over to his aid.
Twilight looked in front of her and saw many of her subjects being enslaved as well as some young ones, and the sight nearly made her cry.
"Get to work!" One of the invader's wielding the metal weapon demanded "And if any of you are disobedient, you will be transferred either to the torture room or the sparring headquarters!" It warned. Then the invaders wielding the metal weapons left except for the ones holding the dark metal sticks and circular shields.
Twilight and her friends slowly stood up and walked forward with the invaders pushing them with their circular shields from behind, and to the area where they will be working.
Once they made it to their working area. Twilight saw many of her subjects moving rocks, pushing carts filled with coal, destroying their own homes and using the materials to build large metal walls at the entrance of the capital while being watched by some of the same invaders from yesterday. And they wearing a strange dark mask and dark armour. Wielding a small dark metal weapon with a cannon nozzle at the front, circular and rectangular metal shields, and long metal weapons, but these don't kill you, they hurt you real bad.
"Come on, we should get to work." Twilight whispered to her friends.
Her friends showed some signs of antipathetic towards their work and the invaders. But they had no other choice but to corporate and being obedient. So they bregrudingly sighed and spread out to do their work.
Rainbow Dash moved carts filled with coal, Rarity also moved a cart, but this one was filled with bricks. Fluttershy, Spike and Applejack lifted up hefty rocks and metal to the large metal wall. And Cheese Sandwich, Pinkie Pie and their son Lil Cheese demolished homes.
Twilight instigated her work as well. She picked up a large metal plate the invaders brought. She couldn't use her magic because she is still in weak condition from the beating she experienced yesterday so she had to use her hooves. So she lifted it up and began to bring the hulking object to the large metal walls.
Lieutenant General Jin An Rong was watching the scenery with a satisfied smile.
"Jīn zhōng jiàng, nín yào wǒmen ràng tāmen jīntiān zuò shénme? (Lieutenant General Jin, what do you want us to make them do to do today?)" Colonel Línbǐngwén asked.
Jin thought for a moment, then made up his decision.
"Jiù xiàng zuìjìn jǐ tiān yīyàng. Ràng tāmen zài dà qiáng hé jiànzhú wù shàng gōngzuò, zhèyàng, jiāngjūn jiāng duì wǒmen de gōngzuò yǐjí zǒngtǒng de gōngzuò gǎndào mǎnyì. (Just as the same as the last few days. Get them to work on the large walls and buildings, that way the General will be pleased by our work as well the President.)" Jin replied.
"Luō jié nàgè zhōng jiàng. (Roger that Lieutenant General.)" Colonel Lin said with a salute. After that, he turned around and looked back in front of him to observe the riot police units work on enslaving and watching the ponies, yaks, Changelings, Griffons, Diamond dogs and Dragons, including some young ones.
Twilight Sparkle was going to walk up the stairs to the top of the large metal walls with six floors made of logs.
But then, some panicking noise stopped her. She looked up and saw two mares and one stallion on the first floor trying to pull up a large heavy metal plate they nearly dropped while dragging. But then, the metal plate fell to the ground dragging the three ponies along with them as well, and the three ponies fell on the ground roughly resulting in some contusions on their muzzles and chests.
When one of the riot police units on the fourth noticed the ponies temerarious and frail exertion. He looked down at one of his colleague.
"Zhou Zhi Xiang! Háo bù yóuyù de ōudǎ tāmen! (Zhou Zhi Xiang! Beat them up without hesitation!)" The officer ordered.
"Shì, zhǎngguān! (Sir yes sir!)" Zhou said with a salute to his Captain.
Then, he dropped his circular riot shield and walked up to the three fallen ponies with his baton in his right hand.
Once he got to their location. He first decided to beat the green coloured mare. He grabbed the female earth pony by her hoof and threw her on the ground in front of him. Then, he walked up to her and swung his right arm back and began to beat her with his baton, and the mare grunted and cried when the invader's metal stick collided with her back. The ponies, yaks, changelings, dragons and griffons so desperately wanted to help the mare but, there was nothing they can do.
"Auugggh! Auugggh! Auugggh!" The mare cried "Please, have mercy." She pleaded but the invader disregarded her.
"You useless sack of crap!" The invader shouted while beating her "Can't even do your work for just twenty minutes!" It finished angrily.
When Twilight saw the mare getting beaten brutally, she couldn't hesitate again. She dropped the metal plate and stood up with all of her might. She then took a deep breath and yelled at the invader.
"Leave her alone!" Twilight yelled.
When the riot police unit heard Princess Twilight Sparkle's tumoultous words. He immediately ceased his attack on the mare and looked at the vile leader with an indignant expression.
The ponies, yaks, changelings, griffons and dragons all ceased their work and began to cheer from Princess Twilight Sparkle's brave words and some of the riot police units aimed their Anti riot guns at them preparing to disperse them all but, the Lieutenant General spoke to them through their walkie talkie.
"Suǒyǒu fángbào jǐngchá dānwèi. Fàngxià wǔqì. (All riot police units. Lower your weapons.)" Jin ordered.
Every riot police units were perplexed at first, but then, they obeyed and lowered their tear gas guns.
Jin then gave the colonel an order.
"Zài zhèlǐ huòqǔ mù guāng shǎnshǎn. (Get Twilight Sparkle over here.)"
"Zhīdàole Zhōng jiàng Jin (Got it Lieutenant General Jin.)" Colonel Lin said with a salute.
After that, he pulled out a baton from his belt and walked up to Twilight Sparkle. While walking, he kicked a few ponies, changelings and dragons out of the way which made him recieve some irked and enraged expressions from them but, he could disregard them easily. Once he got to her, he grabbed her by her horn.
Twilight tried to struggle free but the invader punched her in the chest making her grunt in return. After that, Colonel Lin Bing Wen dragged Twilight Sparkle to Lieutenant General Jin An Rong. Once he got to him, he threw Twilight Sparkle onto the ground in front of him and next to a male orange dragon. And Twilight slowly groaned and looked up at the leader of the invaders.
Lin then swung his right arm back and began to hit Twilight Sparkle in her back with his baton. And Twilight gave out some pained grunts when the metal stick collided with her back. Lin was about to hit her head but he was stopped when the Lieutenant General raised his right hand.
"Yīqiè dōuliú gěi wǒ. (Leave everything to me.)"
Lin nodded and back away from Twilight Sparkle.
Jin then bent down and looked at the hurt and fatigued Princess. He placed his left gloved hand on her neck and gave her a demand.
"Tell them to get back to work." Jin demanded sternly.
"Please, give my subjects food and water." Twilight pleaded "Give them food and water or they will-"
Jin replied to her by cocking his pistol in his right hand and aiming it at the male orange dragon. Then he pulled the trigger.
*BANG!*
The dragon got killed instantly when the bullet collided in his head. Then he fell on the ground bleeding from his head. And the gunshot provoked panicking to the creatures. Jin then rested the muzzle of his pistol directly on Twilight's head preparing to kill her if she was disobedient. And Twilight sent the invader a glare.
Jin then began to countdown.
"Five, four, three, two, o-"
Jin wasn't able to finish his countdown when a grunting noise was heard.
He looked in front of him and saw a light purple unicorn mare with velvet hair lifting up a giant rock along with an orange one next to her. The unicorn then lowered the rock and looked at all of the creatures behind her.
"Quick, get back to work." Starlight said in an exhausted voice. Then, all of the creatures began to do their work again.
Jin let out a chuckle when he saw the creatures resuming their work. He then removed his pistol from Twilight's head and tucked it back into his holster. And finally, he turned around and walked back to the headquarters.
Unknown to all of them, Charlie Lam and Luster Dawn were observing Canterlot while sitting on a tree branch. And the sight traumatized the two of them.
"Oh my, this is getting worse." Luster Dawn said petrified.
Charlie clicked on a button on his goggle scanners and scanned the area again and saw that there were fourteen riot police units on duty. And two soldiers one armed with a CF-05 9mm calibre submachine gun and the other armed with a 20 guage shotgun guarding the entrance.
"There are two armed soldiers guarding the entrance, so we can't go in from there." Charlie told her.
"What? Can I see?" She asked.
"Sure." Charlie said as he took off his goggle scanners and gave it for her to wear.
Luster Dawn then wore the goggles and began to survey the capital. And Charlie began to form an idea on how to infiltrate Canterlot without any soldiers or riot police units noticing them.
"Come on Charlie think. What would my parents do in a situation like this?" Charlie asked himself while rubbing the back of his head. But suddenly, Luster Dawn said something.
"What the?!"
When Charlie heard Luster Dawn, he immediately looked at her.
"What are all of these screen on these safety goggles?" She asked.
Charlie sighed and extended his left hoof and clicked on a button on the safety goggle. Then, the goggles began to scan the area and Luster Dawn can see what was happening.
"Oh, now this technology of yours is very astonishing." Luster Dawn said with a smile.
"Indeed it is." Charlie said with a nod. "But their battery life sucks." He told her.
He the looked back in front of him on his left and saw some wooden planks behind some large rocks piled up 70cm from the entrance. And it looked like it was a sewer system, he looked closer and saw that the wooden planks are indeed hiding something underneath.
Charlie then looked at Luster Dawn and began to report.
"Luster Dawn, follow me. I think I see something." Charlie said as he spread his wings and glided down from the tree branch. Then, he began to walk to the entrance of Canterlot.
"Huh?" Luster Dawn asked surprised "Okay then, I'm right behind you." She said as she jumped down from the tree branch and onto the ground. Then, she followed him from behind.
Author's Note
Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it!
9:30am
70cm away from the castle entrance. Charlie Lam and Luster Dawn both have successfully made it behind the large pile of rocks without the two soldiers guarding the entrance noticing them. And they were very lucky because Luster Dawn made a small noise on the way hear but, the noise was quite inaudible that the soldiers didn't hear it.
"Alright, we have arrived." Charlie said.
"Finally, I actually thought that we were dead when I accidentally stepped on the twig." Luster Dawn chuckled.
"Yeah I know." Charlie chuckled back "But it is a coincidence that the two soldiers didn't hear it." He said. And Luster Dawn giggled from his reply.
"So, what is this 'something' you said and saw?" Luster Dawn asked.
Charlie replied by pointing downwards which perplexed Luster Dawn. She then looked down and saw some wooden planks leading underground.
"Whoa, what is this?" She asked.
"There is probably a secret entrance under these planks." Charlie told her.
"Secret entrance?" Luster Dawn asked with a bewildered expression "You mean that this unknown path under these planks leads to Canterlot?" She asked again.
"Let's see." Charlie replied with a shrug.
After that, Charlie slowly pushed one of the planks forward to prevent being heard by the two Chinese soldiers. After five seconds, a small spot was seen through three planks. Charlie looked through one of the small holes and saw that it was a sewer passage.
"It's a sewer passage." Charlie said.
When Luster Dawn heard that, she showed an expression of disgust towards Charlie.
"A sewer passage?" She asked.
"Yes." Charlie replied with a nod "And this passage probably leads to Canterlot. So I would counsel us to sneak into Canterlot with the sewer passage that way none of the Chinese soldiers or riot police units can see us." He said.
Luster Dawn was a bit uncomfortable with the plan.
"I'm sorry Charlie but, I don't like sewers."
When Charlie heard this. He was indignant at first, but then, he stuffed that aside and tried to confront her, but the sounds of guns cocking stopped him. Charlie peeked his head out of the pile of rocks and saw the two soldiers entering Canterlot probably because of an obligation. And they have left their regular duties behind. And this was the perfect chance for him and Luster Dawn to sneak into the capital with the sewer passage. Then, he looked back at her and began to report.
"Luster Dawn, the two soldiers are gone." Charlie told her with a smile "Now's our good chance to sneak in through the sewers." He said. But Luster Dawn shook her head.
"No!" Luster Dawn refused "I do not want to get dirty in the sewers. And there is no way that you can make me-"
Luster Dawn wasn't able to finish her sentence when one of the wooden planks broke making her fall into the sewers.
"Ahhh! Ooof!" Luster Dawn grunted.
"Luster Dawn!" Charlie said with an anxious expression, then he looked down "Are you okay down there?" He asked.
There were a few moments of silence then a reply.
"Uggh! Charlie, this sewer is stinky like a rotten food!" Luster Dawn complained.
Charlie let out a sigh of relief when he heard Luster Dawn's voice. Then, he began to ask her some inquiries he has about the sewers.
"What do you see down there?" Charlie asked. And his voice echoed through.
There were another few moments of silence, then a reply.
"Well, I see some walls, smelly sewer waters, mouse's that startled me, and some tunnels that probably leads to Canterlot." She replied.
When Charlie heard the information. He immediately smiled when he heard her talking about the sewer tunnels leading to Canterlot.
"Okay, I'm coming down right now!" Charlie told her.
He then spread his wing and jumped into the hole where Luster Dawn fell through into the sewers. And thanks to his wings, he managed to hover his way down like having a parachute.
Once Charlie has stepped hoof in the sewers, he first saw Luster Dawn next to him with an enraged expression.
"I need to take a long bath after this." Luster Dawn said irked.
"Fair enough." Charlie said with a chuckle.
After that, he observed the sewers and saw rusty walls. Smelly pipes and sewer waters and a squeaking noise from a mouse which made Luster Dawn jump. He then looked in front of him and saw three sewer tunnels leading straight into Canterlot. He pulled out his flashlight from his back pack and pushed the switch forward, then light shined forward around the sewers. Charlie then shined the light forward and the sewer tunnels were illuminated by the light a little.
Charlie then walked forward with Luster Dawn following behind him. Once they have reached the three tunnels, Charlie looked at Luster Dawn and asked "Which tunnel should we go in first?"
Luster Dawn looked at the three tunnels and began to decide. The three tunnels are indeed very unhygienic obviously. But they are also gonna be very spine-chilling to go through because you will never know what is at the other side, well except for the more feasible work with Charlie's flashlight. After ten more seconds, Luster Dawn has made her decision.
"Let's go in the left one." Luster Dawn said with confidence.
"I love your confidence."
Luster Dawn blushed and said "Why thank you."
"Your welcome, now come on let's go we have no time to waste." Charlie said as he walked through the left tunnel. And Luster Dawn followed up behind him.
While in the sewers. Charlie and Luster Dawn encountered some smelly sewer water which nearly made Luster Dawn throw up. And squeaking mouse that made Luster Dawn jump.
After walking for five minutes, Charlie shined his flashlight upwards and saw something.
"Wait stop." Charlie said as he raised his hoof. And Luster Dawn immediately stopped when she saw his hoof.
"What is it Charlie?"
"Look up."
Luster Dawn looked up and saw a round sewer cover sbove them. The cover must lead to the inside of Twilight's castle or out in the open field.
"A sewer cover." Luster Dawn said surprised.
"Indeed, this must lead to the inside." Charlie said. Then he came up with a plan and looked at her.
"Luster Dawn, I'll stand under the sewer cover and I'll boost you up." He told her, and Luster Dawn replied with a nod.
Charlie then walked under the sewer cover's area and bent down. Then Luster Dawn walked up to Charlie and climbed onto his back. After that, she carefully stood up and maintained her balance and gripped onto the sewer cover with hooves. And finally, she twisted it and the sewer cover was removed. Then she threw it on the floor.
"Sewer cover has been successfully removed Charlie." Luster Dawn told him.
"Great." Charlie said with a smile. "Now climb up." He told her.
Luster Dawn nodded and extended her hooves upwards and gripped onto what looks to be brick floors. She then climbed up and saw that she was in the dungeon of Princess Twilight's castle.
Charlie then spread his wings and hovered upwards through the sewer cover and into a room. Charlie observed it for a moment and saw that they were in a prison of some sort considering the titanium doors.
"Whoa, is this a prison?" Charlie asked.
"Yes, but a dungeon to be precise." Luster Dawn replied.
"The Chinese have seriously renovated Twilight Sparkle's castle eh?"
"Yeah." Luster Dawn said while looking at him.
"Sorry about that, anyways we should do a quick sweep around the dungeon to see if anyone is here." Charlie recommended.
"I don't know because many of the ponies, yaks, Changelings, Griffons and Dragons are all being enslaved right now outside but, it wouldn't hurt to see." Luster Dawn said with a shrug.
"Exactly." Charlie agreed with a nod "Now let's commence the search." He told her.
Luster Dawn nodded and they both began to walk in the dungeon hallway without hesitation or signs of anxiety. They both looked through some small windows on cell doors and saw that most of them were empty.
"It looks like there is nopony in here. The humans must've brought all of them outside." Luster Dawn told Charlie.
"Just keep looking. Because I doubt there is still someone held in here." Charlie told her and Luster Dawn replied with a shrug.
When the reached halfway in the hall of the dungeon, they heard some groaning noises coming from a room on their right which was closed by a wooden door locked in chains.
"Is somepony in there?" Luster Dawn asked.
"I think so." Charlie said as he got pressed his ear in the door and there was indeed someone in the room.
"There is someone in there." Charlie said. He then took off his backpack and placed it on the floor in front of him. Then, he pulled out a 450mm bolt cutter from it.
After that, he gripped onto it with it's mouth and began to squeeze the handles in an incredible strength which amazed Luster Dawn. After ten seconds, the wires were cut broken and fell on the floor.
Charlie then tucked the bolt cutter back into his backpack and wore it again.
He then pressed his right hoof onto the door and pushed slowly pushed it open. After that, he immediately turned on his flashlight and illuminated the small room. And what they saw traumatized them because there were four ponies, three dragons and one yak cuffed in the room in metal chains. And all of them had contusions all over their bodies, faces, legs and back. And they were also bleeding from their faces and chests.
"Oh my goodness." Luster Dawn said with covering her muzzle in shock.
Charlie then stepped hoof into the room and observed the creatures and saw that none of them were conscious so he must assume that they were all killed. But then, a coughing sound was heard.
Charlie turned around and saw a female grey coloured dragon with a bloody face regaining her consciousness. He then walked up to her and bent down to check on her condition and ask her some questions.
"Hey hey, are you okay?" Charlie asked.
The grey dragon groaned for a moment then looked in front of her and saw a white male alicorn.
"Wh-who are you?"
"My name is Charlie Lam. And I am here to assist you, can you tell me what is going on?" He asked.
Then mysteriously, the grey dragon began to panic.
"Y-you have to get out of here mister Charlie." She told him desperately which made him perplexed.
"Why? What happened to you?" He asked.
"I- me and many of my friends were brutally beaten in this cell by the invaders because we made some small mistakes. And I-I overheard their leader saying something-"
Charlie's eyes widened when he heard her information.
"What did the leader say? And how can we get to his office?" He asked.
But then, the dragon began to loose her concioussness because of her wounds. Then, she closed her eyes.
"Hey! Hey!" Charlie said. He then pressed his right hoof on her carotid pulse and saw that it was not pumping so he must assume that she is dead.
"She's gone." Charlie sighed quietly as he stood up "She said something about the military's leader, so what I would counsel us to do first is-"
Charlie wasn't able to finish his sentence when he heard Luster Dawn muffling a scream.
When Charlie heard Luster Dawn's muffle. He turned around and saw that she was being grabbed by a Chinese soldier. Charlie tried to help but then, he felt a sharp pain behind his neck. He turned around and saw that he got shot in the neck by a tranquilizer dart. He tried to go forward and help Luster Dawn but, he lost his conciousness and fell on the floor sleeping.
"Charlie!" Luster Dawn muffled in fear. Then, the soldier grabbing her punched her in the back of her head, and the force of his punch made her fall on the floor unconscious.
"Lín shàngxiào, wǒmen gāi zěnme bàn? (Colonel Lin, what should we do with them?)" The soldier asked his superior.
"Nǐ zěnme kàn? Gěi tāmen yīgè shūshì de jiǔdiàn fángjiān zhù ma? (What do you think? Give them a comfortable hotel room to stay in?)" He asked. And the soldier shook his head "Dāngrán bùshì, wǒmen xūyào dài tāmen dào jīn zhōng jiàng bàngōngshì jìnxíng xùnwèn. Ràng tā juédìng tāmen de fǎnxiǎng. Xiànzài, nín jiāng xiédài táofàn Lustre Dawn, ér wǒ jiāng xiédài shèntòu zhě Charlie Lam. (Of course not, we need to bring them to Lieutenant General Jin's office for an interrogation. And let him decide what their repercussion will be. Now you'll carry the fugitive Luster Dawn, and I'll carry the infiltrator Charlie Lam.)" Lin ordered.
The soldier in front of him nodded and bent down and picked up Luster Dawn and held her on his shoulder.
Colonel Lin cuffed Charlie and began to carry him to Lieutenant General Jin's office.

Title edited on 30th April 2020
Charlie slowly moaned and opened his eyes slightly. He couldn't stand up because his head was really hurt after he was shot in the neck by a tranquilizer dart from a Chinese soldier. Then, he heard someone talking to him.
"Nín zhīdào zài jūnshì gōngzuò zhōng shèntòu shì yī zhǒng fēifǎ xíngwéi, kěyǐ pàn nín rù yù yīduàn shíjiān, duì ma? (You know infiltration in a military work is an illegal act that can sentence you to jail for a while right?)" A deep male voice asked.
Once Charlie has regained his sense. He was met with a pistol aimed at his face. He looked up and saw that it was the soldier captain he fought in the Changeling Kingdom. And his name was Zhou Chang Min.
He then heard some footsteps in front of him. He looked in front of him and saw a soldier in a green suit with badges on the upper left of his shirt. He also has dark hair and black eyes. Charlie must assume that he is the Lieutenant General of the Chinese army.
"Your not much of a reader are you?" He asked in English.
Suddenly, Charlie remembered that Luster Dawn was also captured by a soldier. He looked around the room and saw that she was not here with him. The room had four Chinese flag banners on the walls, a firearm storage filled with a 20 guage shotgun, a QBZ26C carbine model assault rifle, and a QBU-88 (Type 88) semi-automatic sniper rifle, ammunition for the guns and a military helmet. A large office desk at the front with a n office chair and a computer on top of the large desk.
"You didn't read much about the laws, did you?" Jin asked.
"Where's Luster Dawn?" Charlie asked with an expression of anxiety towards the Lieutenant General.
"Oh, you mean the pink unicorn?" Jin asked "She is in jail in the basement." He told her.
When Charlie heard this, he tried to beg him to release her but then he was cut off when the Lieutenant General looked at the captain.
"Zhou Chang Min, yí kāi. (Zhou Chang Min, move aside.)"
Captain Zhou obeyed the Lieutenant General and stepped aside allowing the Lieutenant General to walk close to him. Jin then bent down and observed the teenager who has transformed into an alicorn, and he was astonished by his appearance.
"My goodness, look at you. You are like a soldier." Jin said with a chuckle. Then he gave him a glare "You came here to kill me did you?" He asked.
"I didn't came here to kill you or your men." Charlie said between breaths "I just came here to have a peaceful negotiation with you to release all of the creatures of Equestria." He confronted.
"A peaceful negotiation you say?" Jin asked incredulously "Like that would ever happen. There is no way that I will talk to you you reckless teenager." He insulted.
When Charlie heard the insult, he stood up and attempted to charge towards the Lieutenant General. But he was stopped by Zhou when he came up to him and aimed his pistol directly at his face. And his hooves were also cuffed so there was no way that he could punch him or walk.
"Hey! Freeze!" Zhou Chang Min shouted with his pistol aimed directly at his head.
When Charlie realized that he couldn't move because of the cuffs on his hooves and the soldier captain in front of him with his gun pointed at his head. He unwillingly had to sigh in defeat and began to corporate with Lieutenant General Jin.
"I do hope that you don't regret sparing his life. He is a pretty good marksman, and he is also one of the general's top soldiers." Jin told him.
"I didn't came here for him." Charlie replied "I only came here for you." He told him.
Jin the looked down at him with a surprised expression.
"Only me?" He asked "Do you want to kill me? Or do you want to go to jail?" He asked again.
Charlie didn't know how to answer that inquiry from him. He didn't came here to kill him along with Luster Dawn. And he obviously doesn't want to go to China or Australia prisons and leave Luster Dawn and the creatures behind. He just wanted to have a peaceful negotiation with him.
Charlie tried to say something but the Lieutenant General cut him off.
"Gòule. Zhōu, dài tā qù dìxià jiānyù. Tā hé lú sī tè·límíng jiàng zài míngtiān bèi núyì. (That's enough talking. Zhou, take him to the underground prison. He and Luster Dawn will be enslaved by tomorrow.)" Jin ordered him.
"Luō jié shì jīn zhōng jiàng. (Roger that Lieutenant General Jin.)" Zhou said with a salute.
After that, Zhou grabbed Charlie by the chains of his cuffs and began dragging him to the jail room in the basement. He pushed the two throne room doors open and dragged him to the left. And while walking, Charlie saw some Chinese swat units as well as some soldiers in the hallway, some of them were starring at him either viewing him as an infiltrator or a temerarious teenager. And the others were beating some ponies, dragons, changelings, Griffons and yaks. And the sight made Charlie feel so disconsolated.
"This is so depressing." Charlie thought sadly "Why are the Chinese doing this?" He asked in his mind.
Once captain Zhou Chang Min has finished dragging Charlie Lam to the jail room in the basement for one minute and twenty-three seconds, he stopped in a jail cell with a metal door in front of him. He then pulled out a key from his pocket and tucked it in the keyhole, he twisted it and pulled it out. And finally, he slowly pushed the door open and it showed a cell with one toilet, toilet paper rolls and a single bed.
"You are very lucky that you get a nice and comfortable room Charlie Lam." Zhou told him "Because, you are a human." He finished.
Charlie disregarded him and looked in the cell and saw Luster Dawn on the floor. And Luster Dawn's eyes widened when she saw Charlie.
"Charlie!" Luster Dawn said with a happy expression.
Charlie smiled as well and said "Luster Dawn, your okay."
Then, Zhou kicked Charlie into the cell and closed the door behind him. And finally, he locked it and walked away.
Luster Dawn then ran up to Charlie and embraced him in a hug despite the fact that she has cuffs on her hooves. And Charlie returned the hug as well with a smile.
"Charlie, I was so worried about you." Luster Dawn said.
"I was worried about you too Luster Dawn." Charlie said with a smile "But, it is a good thing that we are both reunited together." He finished.
"Yeah, in this cell." Luster Dawn complained and Charlie chuckled from her remark.
"Anyways, did the Lieutenant General do anything to you?" Charlie asked.
"You mean the human in the fancy green suit?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Yes, that is him." Charlie replied with a nod "And he is the leader of the army. And has he done or said anything to you?" He asked with worry in his voice.
Then, Luster Dawn shed some tears and began to tell him everything.
"The Lieutenant General said that I am now a wanted fugitive... and if I attempt to escape... with you again... he will immediately kill me, my parents and you as well." Luster Dawn said between sobs. Then, she cried.
Charlie was horrified when he heard what Luster Dawn had said. He then shook all of that aside and embraced her in a hug and began to hug and comfort her, and Luster Dawn hugged Charlie back and began to cry and let everything out. And her tears flowed through his torn science coat.

Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it!
Title and chapter edited in 30th April 2020
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.
Author's Note
Two chapters fulfilled in a day again! I hope you all liked this one! Took me a while to think about how the fight scene should be like.
11:00pm
In Charlie and Luster Dawn's cell. Luster Dawn was crying uncontrollably in her and Charlie's cell room, and the reason is because her father was severely injured from his battle against the leader of the invaders. And Charlie was desperately trying his best to cheer the disconsolated unicorn up but nothing seems to be working, he even tried to offer her the Kit Kat he has in the cold area in his custom built backpack but, Luster Dawn declined his generous offer and Charlie knew what the reason was behind it.
"I am so sorry Luster Dawn." Charlie said in sorrow.
Luster Dawn sobbed and hugged him, and Charlie immediately hugged back for some friendly comfort.
"I...I d-don't even... k-know if h-he is go-going to m-make it... Because of his wounds!" Luster Dawn cried.
"He will, don't worry." Charlie assured her "He is a strong man. And also, if I am lucky enough to come across him and your mother. I will immediately provide him an aid." He told her with a smile.
When Luster Dawn heard this, she stopped crying and looked at him witha surprised expression.
"Y-you are willing to do that?" Luster Dawn asked with sparkling eyes.
"Of course, I am very adroit in medical." Charlie replied with a smile and wiping away her tears "Besides, this is what friends are for am I right? And remember, I also kept a promise in protecting you and your friends as well. And I will never rest until I save your land." He told her.
When Luster Dawn heard this, she began to tear up again and close her eyes. She was truly grateful for all of the succour and support that Charlie has given her through the journey.
When Charlie noticed her tears again, he extended his right hoof and attempted to wipe it away from her eyes. But unexpectedly, Luster Dawn lunged forward and tackled Charlie on the floor and on his back. Then, she pushed her lips with his and kissed him.
Charlie was traumatized when the kiss happened, it was not anticipated because he and Luster Dawn only know each other for only a few days. He muffled but sighed softly and kissed back but he did not close his eyes, instead he placed his hooves on her back and began rubbing her.
After twenty seconds, Luster Dawn slowly released herself from Charlie with huge blushes on her cheeks, and she began to breath heavily along with Charlie.
"So, how does it feel to be kissed and having a special somepony?" She asked between breaths.
"The kiss was nice but-"
Charlie stopped in his mid sentence when he heard the words 'Special somepony'.
"Um pardon me but, what's a special somepony?" He asked with a perplexed expression.
"Well, it means a partner as in pony who are in a relationship at time." She replied. And Charlie let out an "Ohh." at this, finally realizing what the two words meant.
"How come you do not know what a special somepony means?" Luster Dawn asked with a bewildered expression.
"Well, usually from my world we call a woman as a girlfriend, and a guy as a boyfriend. And my kind are not ponies." He replied with a chuckle.
"Oh wow, your kind is great at naming things."
"Well sometimes." Charlie replied with a shrug "Anyways, can you get off me? Because it is getting really hard for me to breath." He told her between breaths.
Luster Dawn then looked down and saw that she was still sitting on his chest. She immediately blushed in embarrassment and crawled off him.
"Oh! Sorry about that Charlie!" Luster Dawn said with a huge blush.
"It's alright." Charlie said with a chuckle, then he sat up straight "Anyways, come on, we should get some sleep. Because we will be working again tomorrow." He told her.
Luster Dawn nodded and climbed onto the bed. Charlie climbed onto it after her and pulled the blanket over them, they then tightly embraced and slept.
"Goodnight Charlie." Luster Dawn said in a cute voice.
"Goodnight Luster Dawn."
After that, they both drifted into sleep.
9:00am outside of the Chinese military headquarters
Outside of the Chinese military headquarter's, Charlie and Luster Dawn were lifting up large rocks and bringing them to the right side of the metal wall. And Luster Dawn was having a difficult time in trying to carry the rock because she was feeling so fatigue, but thanks to the sweet potato that Charlie provided for her, she was able to get some of her strengths back, and Luster Dawn was again very grateful for his generous offer.
"Thank you so much Charlie." Luster Dawn said with an appreciative smile.
"You are very welcome Luster Dawn." Charlie said with a smile.
Once they have arrived at the large metal wall on right. They lowered their giant rocks on the ground and two dragons picked them up and began to bring them to the fourth floor of the wall.
After that, Charlie and Luster Dawn turned back and began to walk back to the large rock pile to bring two more to the left wall but then, somepony not far from their location called them.
"Hey! Luster Dawn!"
Luster Dawn turned around and saw her mother and father. And her father was wrapped in white bandages by Charlie.
"Mom! Dad!" Luster Dawn said running up to her parent's with Charlie behind her.
Once Luster Dawn has arrived to her parent's location, she immediately embraced them softly because her father was still healing up from the conflict he had yesterday with the Lieutenant General.
"It is so great to see you well." Starlight said with a smile.
"You too mom and dad." Luster Dawn said while nuzzling her mother and father.
Starlight then looked in front of her and saw Charlie Lam approaching her, her daughter and her husband.
"Why hello there Charlie Lam, it is so great to see you again." Starlight said with a smile.
"It is good to see you again as well miss Starlight." Charlie said with a smile, then he looked at Sunburst "How are you feeling mister Sunburst?" Charlie asked.
"I'm still feeling some stings all over my body but, I'll live." Sunburst said "And thank you very much for your aid." He finished gratefully.
"You are very welcome sir, and remember not to push yourself too hard." He told him.
"I won't." Sunburst said with a shake of his head.
Then, a revving noise was heard again. Charlie looked behind him and saw the same jeep that the Colonel drove, and the way he knew that he was the Colonel of the army is because he overheard one of the riot police units calling him that, and he could understand Chinese. The jeep came to a stop near two riot police units, but these officers were not the same ones from yesterday.
One of the riot police officers gripped onto the door handle with his right hand and pulled it open. Then, the Colonel stepped out of the jeep.
"Lín shàngxiào! (Colonel Lin!)" The riot police unit said with a salute.
Then, Colonel Lin Bing Wen walked past the two riot police officers and began to observe the ponies, changelings, Griffons, dragons, diamond dogs, yaks and Kirins hard work. After ten seconds, he gave them a score of D- in his mind because they were working too leisurely as if they were in a fancy hotel swimming pool. Then, he gave them an announcement.
"Alright listen up all you creatures!" Colonel Lin exclaimed and all of the creatures ceased their work and looked at the second leader of the invaders. "The Lieutenant General was satisfied about the sparring match yesterday. And he wants to get some more of you to our sparring headquarters to spar with some of the rookies, and if any of you are lucky enough to beat some of them, you will be provided with some food and two bottles of water. Anyone want to volunteer?" He asked.
All of the creatures hesitated when they heard the invader's words, all of them kept their muzzles shut because they remembered what happened to Sunburst and a few of their friends yesterday.
Charlie also kept his mouth shut because there was no way that he wanted to reply to the Colonel's vile and brusque request but then, a rumbling sound was heard.
Charlie turned around and saw that Luster Dawn was rubbing her belly with a sad expression.
"Are you okay Sweetie?" Sunburst asked.
"I'm okay." Luster Dawn replied with a nod. "I'm just a bit hungry, that sweet potato Charlie gave me must've lasted pretty quick." She said in a sad tone.
Charlie looked at Luster Dawn and asked "Luster Dawn, are you hungry?"
"Yeah." She replied with a nod.
Then Charlie began to think whether he should go to the sparring headquarters with the Colonel. He does have some food on him but, he doesn't knows if it would be suitable for a pony like her since it was human food, and she looks like a vegetarian considering her flat teeth. He then stood up and looked at the Colonel.
"I want to volunteer."
When the Colonel heard the intimate male voice, he looked to his right and saw the infiltrator Charlie Lam volunteering to spar with some of the rookies.
Then, Luster Dawn gave Charlie an anxious expression.
"Charlie, what are you doing?" Luster Dawn asked worried.
"Don't worry Luster Dawn." Charlie said while looking at her with an assured smile "Besides, I can get some food for you to fight your starvation." He finished.
"No, it's alright Charlie." Luster Dawn tried to stop him "I can tolerate it." She told him.
"But, you won't the strength to work if you don't eat, and besides nothing stops me." Charlie told her.
Luster Dawn tried to persuade Charlie on staying here but she was cut off by the human.
"Come over here then Charlie Lam!" Colonel Lin demanded.
Before he left, Charlie gave Luster Dawn a self-assured expression. After that, he walked up to the Colonel of the army. Once he has got to him, Colonel Lin uncuffed Charlie and pushed him in the passenger's seat in the jeep. After that, Lin got on the jeep's driver's seat and began to drive to the military headquarters. Charlie looked at the jeep's side view mirror and saw Luster Dawn with an expression of fret towards him.
Once Colonel Lin has drove to the car park in the military headquarter's in basement 2, he parked the car and tucked the car key in his right pocket. After that, Lin got off the jeep as well as Charlie. Then he grabbed Charlie by his horn like the way he did to Sunburst and began to drag him to the elevator.
Once they have arrived, Lin pressed onto the up button in the panel, and the elevator began to go down to his and Charlie's location.
Fifteen seconds later, the elevator doors opened and Lin dragged Charlie into the elevator. And finally, Lin pressed onto the basement one button and the elevator doors closed and it began to go up.
Once the elevator has arrived at basement one, the doors slid open and Lin began dragging him again to the sparring station.
After making a right turn, Lin encountered swat unit An again.
"Tèjǐng bùduì āndá rén, láizì àodàlìyǎ de shèntòu zhě chálǐ·lín (Charlie Lam) xiǎng yǔ liǎng míng xīnxiù shìbīng zuòzhàn. Suǒyǐ xiànzài bǎ tā dài dào nà biān. (Swat unit An Da men, the infiltrator Charlie Lam from Australia wants to fight a couple of the rookie soldiers. So bring him over there now.)" Lin ordered.
"Luō jié nàgè lín shàngxiào. (Roger that Colonel Lin.)" An said with a salute.
After that, Lin released his grip from Charlie's horn and began to walk to the watch balcony where the Lieutenant General is. Then An Da Men grabbed Charlie's hoof and began to drag him to the sparring room.
After making another right turn, An has arrived to the sparring station gate with Charlie behind him. Charlie looked in front of him and saw two changelings, five ponies and four griffons looking through the gate bars as if they were looking at something.
An then pushed Charlie to the crowd, and he accidentally bumped into a male griffon which gave him a vexed expression. Charlie squeezed through the crowd to see what the creatures were viewing. After he has finished that, Charlie saw a red coloured male earth pony fighting against a soldier, and the pony seems to have an upper hand. After five more seconds, the pony kicked the invader in the chest and it fell roughly onto the mat, then a single bag of nourishment and two bottles of water were dropped 11cm from the gate entrance.
When Big Macintosh saw the resources, he smiled and walked up to them and grabbed them by his hooves. After that, he looked up at the leader of the invaders.
"Thank you again for the resources." Big Mac said bowing his head, but Jin disregarded him.
Then Big Macintosh looked up at the leader again.
"Can I fight three more please?"
When Jin heard this, he looked at Colonel Lin next to him and he immediately began to do his work.
"Càiniǎo zhànshì dānwèi yī! Dì bā dānyuán! Dì liù dānyuán! Zhàn qǐlái zhàndòu! (Rookie soldier unit one! Unit eight! Unit six! Stand up and fight!)"
After the Colonel shouted those words, three soldiers stood up and walked up on the mat. They then stood 6cm away from the pony and bowed. After that, they got into fighting stances, and Big Macintosh crouched down and glared at the three invaders.
Then, the soldier in the middle began to do his first move. He ran up to the pony with his right arm swung back attempting to punch the pony in the chest, but Big Mac was able to block it with his hooves, but one of the invaders from his left managed to land a side kick to his chest, and his kick made him stagger backwards.
Big Mac steadied himself and looked back in front of him and saw one of the invader's lifting it's right leg up and attempting to hit him with an axe kick. Big Mac responded by grabbing the invader's leg and lifting it up in the air and throwing him, and the invader fell on the mat roughly. But suddenly, Big Mac was hit in the chest with a sidekick and nearly fell down, but he managed to put his right hoof on the mat and kick himself back up, and the three soldiers and one pony circled around each other none of them making any moves.
After five seconds, the three soldiers charged up to him at the same time and attempted to deliver different attacks to the pony. But Mac was able to block them with his hooves, but his luck has just ran out when an invader jumped up in the air and delivered a flying kick to his muzzle, and the force of his kick made him fall on the mat roughly. Big Mac tried to get up again but the three invaders didn't gave him the chance, instead they all kicked him in unison and Big Mac rolled in the air and fell roughly on the mat with contusions on his chest including a bleeding muzzle.
He slowly stood up and began to stagger back with the three invaders locking onto him while in fighting stances, but Big Mac couldn't fight anymore.
"That's enough for me." Big Mac said in a pained voice.
Then, the three soldiers bowed and walked back to their seating place.
After that, Big Macintosh picked up the single food bag and two water bottles and began to leave with them. But suddenly, a gun was fired.
*BANG!*
The creatures behind the gate all flinched and panicked when they heard the loud noise from the invader's metal weapon. Charlie looked in front of him and saw that the red pony was shot in the back of the head by a pistol bullet. Then, Big Mac's hooves gave away and he fell on the floor dead with blood pouring from his head. And Charlie including the creatures were traumatized.
"Why did they open fire?" Charlie asked quietly.
"Shéi yǔnxǔ nǐ shèjí? (Who allowed you to shoot?)" Jin asked Colonel Lin angrily.
"Hǎo ba, jíshǐ tā mílùle, tā háishì ná zǒule tā de shíwù hé yǐnyòng shuǐ, suǒyǐ wǒ gěile tā fǎnxiǎng. (Well, he took the bag of his food and our drinking water even though he lost, so I gave him his repercussion.)"
Jin An Rong looked down at the dead pony and saw that two soldiers armed with assault rifles were dragging the dead pony to the dungeon. Then, he looked back at Colonel Lin and gave him a glare.
"Zhè jiān fángjiān jǐn yòng yú péiliàn. (This room is for sparring only.)" Jin told him in a menacing voice. He then grabbed his hand and pointed the colonel's own pistol under his chin. "Bùyào ràng wǒ kàn dào nǐ zài zhèlǐ zàicì kāi qiāng. (Do not let me see you firing a gun here again.)" He warned him in a hazardous tone.
"Shì, zhǎngguān. (Sir yes sir.)" Lin said quietly. After that, Jin let go of his hand and Lin holstered his gun back into his belt. "Qǐng lěngjìng yīxià jīn zhōng jiàng, wǒ jiāng wèi nín ānpái xià yī chǎng péiliàn bǐsài. (Please calm down Lieutenant General Jin, I'll arrange the next sparring match for you.)" He told him in a nervous tone.
After that, Lin looked down at the two soldiers standing near the gate.
"Hēi, jìxù. (Hey, continue.)"
"Shì, zhǎngguān. (Sir yes sir.)" The soldier said with a salute.
After that, he walked up to the gate to pick who will go next. Then, the infiltrator Charlie Lam banged onto the gates.
"I want to fight! Open this gate!" Charlie demanded menacingly.
The soldier obeyed him and unlocked the gate. After that, Charlie walked into the sparring headquarters and looked at the fourteen soldiers for a second and looked up at the watch balcony where Lieutenant General Jin and Colonel Lin were standing.
"Wǒ xiǎng dǎ shí gè! (I want to fight ten!)" Charlie yelled in Chinese.
When Jin and Lin heard this. They were surprised, can this teenager really take on ten soldiers on his own? Is he hiding some tactics? But the creatures behind the gate were startled when they heard that he wants to fight ten.
"Shí? (Ten?)" Lieutenant General Jin An Rong asked surprised.
"Hēhē, ràng wǒmen kàn kàn tā yǒu duō hǎo. (Hehe, let's see how good he is.)" Colonel Lin said with a wicked smile towards the teenager. Then, he looked at the fourteen units.
"Shìbīng èr duì! Wǔ, sān, shísān, shíyī, jiǔ, shí'èr, yī, shísì, qī! Zhǔnbèi zhàndòu! (Soldier unit two! Five, Three, thirteen, eleven, nine, twelve, one, fourteen, seven! Prepare to fight!)" Lin ordered.
Then ten Chinese soldiers stood up and walked onto the mat. Charlie took off his coat and threw it on the floor off the mat, then he walked onto it, and the ten soldiers bowed and got into fighting stances. Charlie studied all of them for a while and bowed as well, then all of the soldiers charged up towards the infiltrator.
A soldier behind him attempted to hit him in the back with a back kick. When Charlie felt the kick, he turned around and grabbed the soldier by the leg and threw him on the ground and stomped on his face which gave him a pained grunt in return.
The second soldier attempted to punch him but Charlie pushed his hand away and front kicked him in the chest which made him fly backwards and falling on the mat roughly.
The third soldier attempted to front kick him in the face. When Charlie noticed the attack, he grabbed the soldier's leg and threw him to the soldier next to him knocking them down and injuring them in the process.
The fifth soldier ran up to the alicorn and attempted to punch him in the face, but Charlie responded by grabbing his fist and twisting his arm and kneeing him in the face which made the soldier grunt. Then he lifted him up and threw him directly at his two other colleagues, and the impact made them fly a few feet away and falling on the mat roughly with contusions on their chests and backs.
The three remaining soldiers charged up towards Charlie at the same time and began to send punches and kicks at him but he was able to counter and block all of them because Charlie has mastered a very powerful martial art before since he was ten years old. After three more seconds, Charlie sent the two soldiers falling roughly on the mat by a reverse turning kick, and a high rising kick.
When the final soldier noticed that it was just him all by himself, he tried to turn around and take some steps back and steady himself again. And when Charlie noticed the soldier's plan, he immediately stopped him by grabbing his face and pulling him on the mat. And finally, he finished soldier by delivering some excruciating punches to his face, and every punch he landed, the soldier let out some pained grunts.
After three more punches, Charlie ceased his attack and let go of the soldier and saw that he has gave the soldier a bloody face.
Then the four remaining soldiers who were sitting around the mat, and witnessed what the infiltrator did to their colleagues stood up and surrounded Charlie and got into a fighting stance.
But then, the Lieutenant General came down to the sparring area.
"Huí dào nín de zuòwèi wèizhì! (Back to your seating positions!)" Jin ordered. Then all of the soldiers back away and returned to their seating areas.
Then, Colonel Lin threw down ten bags of food and twenty bottles of water from supermarkets in China onto the mat. Jin kicked one of the bags and water bottle near Charlie's front hooves.
"Nǐ yīnggāi jīngcháng lái zhèlǐ. (You should come here more often.)"
Charlie looked at him and said "Wǒ bùshì lái zhèlǐ zhǎo zīyuán de. (I didn't come here for the resources.)"
After that, he turned around and picked up his laboratory coat and wore it. He then walked up to the blood stained food bag and two clean drinking waters. And finally, he stood up and began to leave but the Lieutenant General called him again.
"Hēi, nǐ hé wǒ yǒuyītiān yìng gāi yǒu yī chǎng xiǎo péiliàn bǐsài, nà zhēnshi lìng rén gāoxìng. (Hey, you and I should have a little sparring match one day, it would be merriment.)" Jin suggested.
Charlie disregarded his request and suggestion and walked up to the sparring room's gate. He then pulled it open and walked past the creatures lining up and to the work area in Canterlot, and the creatures were astonished by his moves. They tried to call him and ask for some information on how to teach the invaders a lesson but, he has already left, and was returning to working area with a black suited invader pushing him with it's scary metal weapon.

Phew! Three chapters in a day! I hope you all enjoyed this one as well!
Chapter and title edited in 6th May 2020
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.

Chapter edited in July 9th 2020
Also, I do not own the video I am using for the chapter. It belongs to it's rightful owner.
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.

Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it!
11:00pm
All of the creatures of Equestria including Charlie were now being sent back to their cells in cuffs by some riot police officers.
Once they got there, all of them got thrown back into their cells roughly, but Charlie fell roughly on his back with a grunt, and Luster Dawn fell on top of him. Then, the door closed behind them.
"Jeez, what jerks." Luster Dawn said while looking down at Charlie. "I've been waiting to say that for a while now." She told him.
Charlie chuckled and said "Don't worry, at least we can instigate the escape now."
Luster Dawn giggled and leaned closer to his muzzle. Then, they shared another tender kiss. They held each other for ten seconds and released while breathing heavily.
"Alright, let's do this." Luster Dawn said as she got off Charlie, and Charlie sat up "What do we do first?" She asked.
Charlie replied by walking to the bed and activating his horn. Then, he slowly and quietly moved the bed to the side to prevent the riot police from hearing. After he has finished that, he grabbed the faulty slabs with his hooves and moved it aside. Then, a large hole led to the sewers appeared.
"Step one, go into the sewers." Charlie said as he stepped aside "Ladies first."
Luster Dawn blushed and said "Oh my, you are such a kind gentlecolt."
Then, Luster Dawn walked to the large hole and jumped down into the sewers. After Luster Dawn, Charlie slowly jumped in and sealed the hole with the slabs.
Once they were in the sewers, Charlie pulled out his flashlight from his pocket and pushed switch forward, then the light shined forward and Charlie and Luster Dawn saw a straight path.
"Okay, so what's step two?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Step two, we break the creatures out." Charlie said.
"How are we going to do that?" She asked.
Charlie replied by pulling up the left side of his pocket which made Luster Dawn bewildered. Then, Charlie gripped onto the flashlight with his mouth and tapped on his wrist or hoof computer. And finally, three small drones flew out of his pocket and hovered in the air awaiting for Charlie's command, and the three drones made Luster Dawn's eyes go wife.
"Whoa, what are those?" Luster Dawn asked.
"These are called drones, can be either used as a toy or on military purposes. It can either be remotely controlled or fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems, working in conjunction with onboard sensors and GPS." Charlie delineated, and Luster Dawn was truly astonished.
"Wow, just wow." She said with wide eyes.
Charlie then looked at the three drones and began to give them some commands.
"Drone one, drone two, drone three. Can you three please look for the other creatures cells?" Charlie asked.
Once the drones heard the command, they immediately flew forward. Charlie wore his goggle scanners and got visions on what the three drones were seeing.
"Come on Luster Dawn, let's follow the three drones."
"Okay."
Then the two couples began to follow the three drones who were searching for the other creatures in other cells.
After following for ten seconds, the three drones came to a stop under a large and long hole which lead to a sewer cover at the top. Charlie looked up and activated X-Ray scanning mode, then he saw Princess Twilight Sparkle, her friends including the giant purple dragon sitting in the cell.
"Activate claw mode."
Then, the two claws of the drones were replaced by tiny and sharp claws. And they flew up to the slabs and began to drill the screws loose and dig the soft areas underneath it.
Inside Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Fluttershy, Spike, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Lil Cheese, Sunburst, Starlight and Cheese Sandwiches cell room. The ponies and one dragon were patiently waiting for the escape to commence.
"Don't worry guys, I'm sure that Charlie is going to break us out right now." Twilight assure them in a pained voice.
"How long will it take?" Rainbow Dash asked impatiently.
And on cue, the sewer cover in front of them began to shake.
"Huh? What's going on with the sewer cover?" Pinkie asked perplexed.
Five seconds later, the sewer cover was slid opened. Twilight crawled forward to see what was down there, she looked down and saw Charlie and Luster Dawn.
"Princess Twilight Sparkle." Charlie and Luster Dawn said in unison.
"Charlie, Luster Dawn." Twilight said in surprise along with her friends.
"Come on down, it's time to escape."
Twilight nodded and looked back at her friends.
"Come on guys, it's time to escape. Let's start with Lil Cheese first."
Then, they began to jump down from Lil Cheese first, Rainbow Dash next, Fluttedhsy third, and the rest followed down one by one.
Once they were in, Sunburst and Starlight immediately embraced their daughter in a hug. And the ponies including Spike were showing gestures of appreciation towards Charlie, but Rarity was a little disgusted when she saw the sewer water. But, she managed to tolerate it.
"Nice, I am glad that we have escaped our gross cell." Rarity said.
"Agreed." Rainbow Dash said with a nod "I can't wait to make the invader's pay for what they have done to us." She finished with a vexed expression.
Twilight then looked at Charlie and asked "So, what do we do now?"
"Alright, back in the saddle with step two." Charlie told them. "We break everypony out." He finished. And the ponies and Spike nodded.
Then, he looked at the three drones again.
"Locate the other creatures cells and break them out."
Then the three drones began to do what they were told and flew to the other creatures cells. And the drones astonished Twilight and her friends.
"What are those strange machines Charlie?" Twilight asked.
"Those are drones, for military and fun purpose. Can be remotely controlled, but if you want them to fly automatically, it would be more complicated." He told her. And Twilight was blown away by his statement.
"Wow, you humans do know how to make such contraptions."
"Pretty much." Charlie said with a shrug "Anyways, shall we continue with saving the other creatures?" He asked her.
"Yes." Everypony said in unison.
Then Charlie, the ponies and Spike all began to follow the three drones. And the drones began to free all of the dragons, yaks, ponies , changelings, Kirins, diamond dogs, and griffons free from their cell by drilling the sewer cover's screws and breaking some faulty slabs. After ten more cells, all of the creatures have been successfully rescued from their cells. And they were all very grateful for Charlie and Luster Dawn, but they just told them not to be too grateful.
"Alright Charlie, what's the last step?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Step final, escape through the way we came."
"Ah yeah." All of the creatures said in unison.
Then, Charlie and Luster Dawn began to guide all of the ponies, yak, changelings, dragons, diamond dogs and Kirins to the place where they got in. After running for one minute and five seconds, Charlie and Luster Dawn have returned to the plank area they have entered from.
"Alright, this is the area." Charlie told them "Let's go up one by one." He finished, and the creatures all nodded in unison.
"Drones, remove the planks above the hole."
Then, the three drones flew upwards and removed the rest of the planks for all of them to go through. Then, Charlie grabbed Luster Dawn's hoof which made her blush softly and her parents managed to smile along with everypony else. And finally, they flew upwards out of the sewers. Then, Luster Dawn dropped a rope down for everypony to climb up, but for the yaks, they have to be flown up by the pegasus and changelings.
Two minutes later, all of the creatures have successfully been evacuated from their occupied capital. Their cuffs and suppressor rings have been removed by Charlie and Luster Dawn's magic.
"Phew, we made it out." Charlie said.
Then, Luster Dawn immediately hugged him. And everypony awed at the sight along with Sunburst and Starlight.
"Aww, our daughter looks so cute with Charlie." Said Starlight.
"Charlie may be the most suitable husband for her." Sunburst whispered to his wife, and she let out a giggle.
Then, Charlie and Luster Dawn looked at everypony.
"Princess Twilight, we should recruit the remaining survivors." Charlie told her.
"Alright." She replied with a nod "Let's go."
Then, everypony turned around and began to walk to the other Kingdoms. But just as they were about to advance to the Everfree forest a gunshot was heard.
*BANG!*
"Auughh!"
Everypony flinched and panicked when the loud shot was fired.
Charlie turned around and saw a male pegasus shot in the back of his head and falling on the ground dead. Charlie looked in front of him and saw Lieutenant General Jin An Rong, his men, and the Police force standing at the entrance with three technical trucks behind them.
"Pretty impressive mister Charlie Lam." Jin said with a smile "You managed to escape with those animals, but I'm afraid that you and your friends path ends right here." He finished.
Charlie then stepped forward with Luster Dawn, and they had their horns activated.
"We will never run ever again." They said with no signs of anxiety.
"Yeah!" Everypony else said in unison and stepping with the two couple.
"You are a very astonishing teenager, you managed to infiltrate the land without us knowing. Defeated four police officers, six swat units, outmatched one of the General's top soldier as well as facing ten on your own." Jin said "But, all of your adventures end here." He finished, then he looked back at his men and the police force.
"Suíyì shèjí! (Fire at will!)" Jin ordered.
Then, all of the soldiers, swat units and police officers fired their guns, and two fired rockets.
All of the creatures began to take cover, and Charlie, Luster Dawn and Twilight attempted to activate a shield. But unexpectedly, a giant white barrier mysteriously shielded them all.
"Nà shì shénme ya? (What the heck is that?)" Jin asked with shocked expression as well as his men.
Charlie and the creatures slowly opened their eyes and saw a giant white barrier guarding all of them. And it also stopped the bullets from hitting them.
"What is this?" Charlie asked, then a voice was heard.
"Those are our friends you all are messing with."
When everypony heard the voice, they all turned around and saw the rest of the changelings, griffons, dragons, yaks and Kirins all marching to their friends. The white barrier disapperead and all of the captured creatures ran back to their remaining kind.
"Guys, I thought-"
"We came here to help as soon as possible mister Charlie Lam." Said Gilda.
"Yeah, and we apologize about our attitudes when we first met." Thorax said with a sorrowful expression.
"Yeah, us too. Our friends need saving, so we couldn't keep hiding, we need to fight back against the invaders and claim our land back." Autumn Blaze said with a confident expression.
Jin looked at all of the creatures of Equestria with an incredulous look.
"Zhè shì nín de zhǔyào jìhuà ma? Shǐ mǎshù shèng xià de shēngwù tuánjù lái yǔ wǒ hé wǒ de jūnduì zuòzhàn? Nǐmen zhēnshi kělián yòu kěxiào. (So this is your main plan? Reunite the remaining creatures of Equestria to fight me and my army? You guys are pathetic and cretinous.)" Jin laughed along with his men.
Then, Charlie stepped forward with Luster Dawn with their horn glowing brightly. And the rest of the creatures began to form a line preparing to fight back against the invaders to reclaim their land.
"You and your army may have petrifying technologies by your side, but we have magic and friendship." Charlie and Luster Dawn said.
Then, all of the creatures began preparing for battle. The changelings, Kirins and unicorns all activated their horns. The dragons, Girffons and pegasus all flew up in the air, the earth ponies, yaks and diamond dogs got into a charging stance. And Charlie, Luster Dawn and Twilight Sparkle all flew their horns, and Charlie's drones began to charge up their energies, but what he didn't know is that his talisman was glowing brightly as well.
"Equestrians!" Charlie said as a golden staff is summoned on his hooves which surprised him in his mind "Assemble." He finished.
"Tā shì gāng cóng fùchóu zhě liánméng cánjú jiēguò nà tiáo xiàn ma? (Did he just took that line from Avengers Endgame?)" A soldier asked incredulously.

Friendship vs economic superpower
After Charlie has said those words, all of the creatures of Equestria began to charge towards the Chinese while letting out some battlecries. The Changelings, Dragons, Griffons and Pegasuses all flew up in the air, the unicorns, Kirins, Charlie, Luster Dawn, Sunburst, Starlight, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity activated their horns. And the earth ponies, yaks and diamond dogs charged towards the Army with spears and knives, all of them showing some signs of bravery.
When Jin noticed all of the creatures temerarious movement, he looked back at his army and began to give them some orders.
"Zhè cì shā sǐ tāmen! (Kill them this time!) Jin yelled.
Then, all of the soldiers, SWAT units, and police officers cocked their guns and began to charge towards the creatures in Equestria. Some driving technical trucks with a soldier mounting a machine gun.
Once both sides closed in on each other, many of soldiers aimed their guns at the creatures and attempted to shoot them. When Charlie noticed this, he spread his wings and flew up in the air with his hooves swung back. Then, he slammed the staff onto the ground and a shockwave was produced and the soldiers were sent flying backwards into the trucks, and the sight startled the remaing soldiers, SWAT units and Police officers as well as Jin An Rong.
"Nà shì shénme yàng de gùnzi? (What kind of stick is that?)" Jin asked with a vexed expression.
Charlie was looking down on his golden staff with an astonished expression.
"Whoa, this staff is awesome." Charlie said with a smile.
"Indeed." Luster Dawn said with a nod.
"That staff is very powerful in all of Equestria Charlie, and your the only one capable of handling it." Twilight told him.
"Now, that is cool."
Jin growled and looked back at his men.
"Dàjiā suíbiàn kāihuǒ! (Everyone, fire at will!)"
"Shì, zhǎngguān! (Sir yes sir!)"
All of the soldiers, SWAT units and police officers reloaded their guns, some aimining three rocket launchers, and four soldiers aimining the mounted machine guns on the technical trucks at them. Then, they opened fire.
*BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!*
When Charlie noticed the shots, he and Luster Dawn activated their horns and opened up a giant white magical barrier, and the bullets and rockets were stopped, and the soldiers, SWAT units and police officers were traumatized again along with Jin An Rong.
"Zhè zěnme kěnéng?! (How is this possible?!)" Jin An Rong exclaimed in anger and perplextion.
"It is called magic and friendship mister Jin An Rong." Twilight replied simply.
"Yeah, all of us are not vile and savages compared to you all." Charlie said which made Jin growl.
"Now, it's time for us to show you what we are capable of." Luster Dawn said with a confident expression. Then, she looked back at her parents, unicorns, Kirins and Changelings.
"Let's show them what our magic can do."
All of them nodded and charged their horns, and some of the soldiers , SWAT units and police officers were perplexed.
"Tāmen zài zuò shénme? Tāmen shì zài shìtú dàbiàn ma? (What are they doing? Are they trying to poop on the ground?)" A soldier asked.
All of them got their answers when the unicorns, Changelings, Kirins, Charlie and Luster Dawn fired magical blasts directly towards them.
The riot police officers armed with rectangular riot shields stepped forward and guarded all of them. But, their shields weren't strong enough to protect all of them because the magic beams pierced through. And all of the riot police units, eleven soldiers, nine SWAT units and ten police officers were hit and shot dead, not even their vests can proctect them. And Jin was truly startled.
"Yǒu méiyǒu gǎo cuò?! (What the heck?!)" Jin exclaimed.
"I guess your technology isn't strong enough to stop our magic!" Twilight said with a proud smile.
Jin then looked back at his men and began to give the orders again.
"Huí dào jūnshì jīdì, shōují wǒmen yǒngyǒu de suǒyǒu qiāngzhī! Wǒmen chéngshòule tài dà de shānghài! (Get back to the military base and gather every firearms we have! We have taken too much damage!)" Jin said pointing at the military headquarters.
"Dànshì zhōng jiàng, wǒmen zhǐ shīqùle sānshí gèrén. (But Lieutenant General, we only lost thirty men.)" Colonel Lin told his superior.
"Wǒmen chéngshòule tài dà de shānghài! (We've taken too much damage!)" Jin repeated to Colonel Lin "Kuài! Wǒmen yě bìxū hūyù zēngyuán! (Quick! We must call for reinforcements as well!)" He finished.
"Shì, zhǎngguān! (Sir yes sir!)" All of them said with salutes, after that, the soldiers, SWAT units and police officers ran back to the military headquarters.
Charlie's eyes widened when he heard what the Lieutenant General said, he turned around and looked at all of the creatures and said "Guys! They're going to call for reinforcements from their world, we have to stop them!"
"What?! Oh no, every creatures charge!"
Then, all of the creatures of Equestria charged towards the Chinese. Trying to catch up to them before they call for reinforcements from their world.
Once they were at the entrance, they managed to catch up. Charlie jumped up again and slammed his staff on the ground near ten soldiers and thirteen SWAT units. Then, a shockwave was produced again and more Chinese men were lost.
"Jīn zhōng jiàng! Gèng duō de rén bèi shā! (Lieutenant General Jin! More men are killed!)" Colonel Lin told him.
Jin's eyes widened and he turned around and saw many of the creatures of Equestria are battling his men. Many of the soldiers, SWAT units, and police officers were gone. Jin then, clicked onto his radio.
"Liúwénlì! Yī zhāng yī zhāng de jūjī tāmen! (Lau Man Lee! Snipe them one by one!)" Jin ordered.
"Luō jié, xiānshēng! (Roger that sir!)"
Then, the soldier who was ordered to snipe the creatures was lying on the left side of the metal wall while looking through the scope of his sniper rifle. He then moved the gun and aimed directly at Charlie Lam's head. He took a deep breath and was preparing to shoot. But unknown to him, a blue dragon was sneaking up behind him preparing to slash his face.
The soldier could hear some footsteps behind him, he must assume that someone was trying to sneak up behind him. He instantly moved his Sniper rifle behind him, and aimed it at his attacker, and saw that it was a light blue dragon. Lau wasn't able to pull the trigger when the dragon slashed it away from his hands, and the sniper rifle fell off.
Back on the ground, a swat unit was aiming his assault rifle at a foal who was showing no signs of anxiety towards him, but the SWAT unit was laughing.
"Hāhā hā! Zhǔnbèi rènshì nǐ de mìngyùn xiǎo nǚhái! (Hahaha! Prepare to meet your fate little girl!)" The SWAT unit laughed.
But, he wasn't able to pull the trigger when a sniper rifle fell on his head which made him fall on the ground with a thud with his assault rifle aiming at himself. Then, his finger accidentally pulled the trigger and the gun was fired. Then, his head exploded and he was killed.
The sniper on top of the wall was horrified when he saw him killing his own comrade.
"Oh my, you have killed your own friend. You have committed a treason." Said the female dragon.
Lau glared at the dragon and unsheathed his combat knife with his right hand and ran towards the dragon. Once he closed his distance with it, he attempted to slice it in her neck. Ember responded by slashing the knife again breaking it in the process making the soldier stagger. And finally, Ember finished the invader by stabbing him in the chest.
"Auughh!" The soldier grunted. Then, he fell down onto the ground outside of Canterlot.
"That is what you get for killing and enslaving my friends." Ember said.
Back down in the battlefield, the mane six and Spike were fighting and blasting the invaders one by one showing them no leniency, making them pay for what they have done to them since the day they have arrived.
"Yeah! That's what you all get!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.
When Jin witnessed that he was loosing, he began to give the colonel an order.
"Lín shàngxiào, wǒ yào nǐ- (Colonel Lin, I want you to-" Jin wasn't able it finish his sentence when he saw Lin lying on the floor with blood pouring from his head, he must assume that the Twilight Sparkle must've killed him.
"Wǒ wèi nǐ ér lái mù guāng shǎnshǎn! (I'm coming for you Twilight Sparkle!)" He said with a pistol in his right hand.
Back in the intense battle, Charlie was hitting soldiers, SWAT units and police officers with his golden staff one by one. And each hit he landed, he managed to kill them.
He looked to his right and saw the Lieutenant General walking towards Princess Twilight Sparkle. His eyes widened and he began running up to him. But suddenly, he was shot in the waist or chest.
*BANG!*
"Auugh!" Charlie yelled in pain as he fell on the ground.
He turned his body and placed his right hoof on his bullet wound. He looked in front of him and saw that it was Zhou Chang Min who shot him with his pistol.
Zhou reloaded his pistol and aimed it at his head, and Charlie had an incredulous expression.
"I just punched you in the chest and showed you mercy by sparing you in the Changeling Kingdom man." Charlie told him in a pained voice "And this is how you repay me?" He asked in sadness.
Zhou disregarded his inquiry and cocked his pistol, then he aimed it at his head.
But suddenly, Zhou was shot in the face before he could shoot Charlie. Then, his legs gave away and he fell on the ground bleeding from his head.
Charlie turned around and saw that it was Luster Dawn who shot Zhou. And she shot him with a pistol from a soldier she killed. And Charlie gave her a proud expression when he saw her knowing how to use a firearm.
Then, Luster Dawn ran up to Charlie's aid and helped him up, and she was shaken when she saw Charlie's bullet wound.
"Charlie, are you okay?" Luster Dawn asked anxiously.
"I'm alright kid, we have to fight the Lieutenant General over there before he kills Twilight Sparkle." He told her.
Luster Dawn wanted to cease him and tell him to rest but, there was not time to waste.
"Alright." She said with a nod.
"Good." Charlie said as he kissed Luster Dawn in the lips. They held each other for a second and released. Then, they ran up to the Lieutenant General before he can reach Princess Twilight Sparkle.
Twilight and her friends were nearly completed in wiping out all of the invaders by killing them.
"We're almost finished wiping all of them out." Twilight said.
"Awesome!" Her friends said in unison.
But unexpectedly, the leader of the invaders grabbed Twilight by her neck and threw her onto the ground with all of his might. And the force of his throw made Twilight grunt.
Jin then cocked his pistol and aimed it at the Princess.
"Shuō zàijiàn mù guāng shǎnshǎn gōngzhǔ. (Say goodbye Princess Twilight Sparkle.)" Jin said with a chuckle.
But, he wasn't able to pull the trigger when Charlie and Luster Dawn rammed into him at the same time making him fall roughly onto the ground. Jin recovered quickly and tried to stand up again but the two ponies stopped him by activating their horns.
"Give it up Jin, it's over." Charlie told him.
"Suǒyǒu dānwèi! Shāle tāmen! (All units kill them!)" He ordered.
"I am afraid that they are all gone." Said the mane six and Spike.
Jin was perplexed when he heard that, he turned to his left and saw that all of his men were lying on the ground dead with blood pouring out from their bodies. He then looked up at Charlie and Luster Dawn with a smile on his face.
"I guess this is it."
"Yes, and you're going to pay for your crimes against us." Twilight and her friends growled.
Jin replied by aimining his pistol at the side of his head which shocked everypony.
"I will never go to jail." Jin told them with a smirk "I will be with my son, and my family." He finished without fear.
"Wait stop!"
But it was too late, Jin pulled the trigger and shot himself in the head, and all creatures were startled. And he was dead, and Charlie looked down onto the ground in sadness.
"What's wrong Charlie?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, we killed the leader." Rainbow Dash said feeling disorientate.
"Even if he was the villain. He never deserve this." Charie said sadness. When Luster Dawn saw his depressed expression, she comforted him with a hug, and Charlie hugged back.
"Hey everyone! We have retaken our land from the invaders!" Pinkie yelled contentedly.
Then all of the creatures began to cheer and hug each other. And Charlie managed to give out a smile, then he looked at Twilight Sparkle.
"So Princess Twilight, how can we rebuild this place?" Charlie asked.
"Look down on your talisman." Twilight replied as she pointed at the talisman on his chest.
Charlie looked down at it and saw that it was glowing again which made him perplexed.
"What's the talisman telling you this time?" She asked.
Charlie shrugged and began to reach it with his right hoof. He then taped on it and the talisman flew up in the air which startled all of the creatures.
"Whoa, what is happening?"
Then, the talisman let out a bright white glow which made everyone shield their eyes. After five seconds, the glowing stopped an everyone slowly unshielded their eyes. They then observed their surroundings and saw something unique, Canterlot was back to normal, the houses were back, the metal walls are gone, the bodies of the invaders disappeared, Twilight's castle was back to normal, and the beautiful scenery has returned. Then, the talisman disappeared.
Everyone was observing Canterlot with a huge smile on their muzzles.
"Canterlot is back." Fluttershy said happily.
"Hey! Sugar Belle! Applejack!"
When Sugar Belle and Applejack heard the intimate voice, their eyes immediately widened.
"Could it be?"
They turned around and saw Big Macintosh and the rest of the changelings, yaks, griffons, diamond dogs, dragons, Kirins and ponies behind them.
Then, the Apple family ran up to Big Mac and embraced him in a hug.
"Woohoo! Our home is back!" Pinkie said running into the town with the rest of the creatures behind her, and they began to play around in Canterlot.
Charlie tried to walk and join the fun but, his bullet wound stopped him and he was forced to sit down on the ground.
When Luster Dawn witnessed his pained expression, she immediately sat down next to Charlie and attempted to heal his wound with her magic but, Charlie ceased her by moving her horn away, then he gave her a smile.
"It's no use Luster Dawn."
"But-"
"It's too late, sometimes things are better off forgotten." Charlie told her.
"But Charlie, I don't want to lose you, your my special somepony." Luster Dawn said with tears forming in her eyes.
"I don't want to lose you too Lusty but, I am not one of your kind, and I do not know if your friends will like me or not."
"They will but-"
"Besides, it doesn't matter, what matters now is that you and your friends are saved from the Chinese." Charlie said weakily "And consider this, although you and your kind and others are not advanced in technology compared to us humans, but you all are still very strong with your friendship and magic, and with or without me." He finished with a warm smile.
Luster Dawn began to tear up when she heard Charlie's sentence.
Charlie looked in front of him again and saw all of the creatures of Equestria playing happily with each other, and celebrating their freedom from the Chinese army and the police force, and the sight reminded him of the time when he and his parents played around as well. Finally, Charlie closed his eyes and a tear rolled down his right cheek, then he fell on the ground unconscious.
"Charlie? Charlie?" Luster Dawn called him but he didn't responded, she must assume that he has been killed by the bullet wound, Luster Dawn then began to cry.
"Princess Twilight! Princess Twilight!" Luster Dawn called her between cries.
When Twilight heard her student's cry, she turned around and saw what she was seeing, and the sight startled her because, in front of her was Charlie Lam lying on the ground dead.
She gasped in horror and began to walk up to him. When the other creatures heard the gasp from their ruler, they stopped what they were doing and looked at what She was looking, and the sight also traumatized them because in front of them was Charlie Lam lying on the ground dead, then they began to walk up to their fallen hero.
Once they reached him, Twilight scrutinized him and saw a bullet wound in his waist.
"Oh my, he must've been shot by one of them." Twilight said in horror which made everyone behind her gasp as well.
"Oh no." Lil Cheese said crying, and his parents began to comfort him with a hug.
"Princess Twilight, you can do something about this right?" Luster Dawn sobbed.
Twilight nodded and said "Yes I can, we must bring him back to my castle so that I can heal him." Then she looked back at her subjects.
"Everyone, I'm gonna need your help as well, go back to your lands and grab any useful medical equipments for me to heal Charlie." She told them.
All of the creatures nodded and ran back to their homes, and some ponies ran to the hospital.
Then, Twilight lifted Charlie up with her magic and placed him on her back, and he was bleeding seriously.
"We have to hurry." Twilight told her friends.
All of them nodded and ran back into her castle.
"Hang in there Charlie." Luster Dawn said holding his hoof.

Prince and protector of Equestria
One week later
It has been one week since Equestria has been saved and retaken from the Chinese and Charlie's recovery. He has been successfully healed by Princess Twilight Sparkle, and the bullet in his waist was successfully pulled out. And he has also made a new life in Equestria since his wrist computer was broken and was no longer functioning which means that he cannot return to Australia, he is now living in a house in Ponyville now with Luster Dawn accompanying him in case he needs an aid with his healing bullet wound.
In his new home, Charlie and Luster Dawn were sitting on a couch in the living room. And Luster Dawn was hugging Charlie with her head on his shoulder, and Charlie returned it with a nuzzle.
"Oh right! Charlie, I forgot to tell you something." Luster Dawn said with a huge smile.
"Let me guess." Charlie said with a roll of his eyes "You and your friends bought me something to thank me for saving them?" He asked.
"Nope." Luster Dawn replied with a shake of her head "You will be sent to Princess Twilight Sparkle's castle by some Royal guards for her announcement, and she will also give you a surprise." She told him, and Charlie's eyes widened.
"A surprise? What will it be?"
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I spoil it right?"
"Yeah I guess your right." Charlie replied with a shrug "Besides, I can wait patiently because, I still need to heal from my bullet wound." He told her.
Luster Dawn giggled and gave him a kiss to his lips, and Charlie kissed back. But, their tender moment has concluded when a knock from Charlie's front door was heard.
*Knock knock*
"Who could that be?" Charlie asked.
"It must be the Royal guards." Luster Dawn replied "Here I'll open the door." She told him as she got off the couch and ran to the door.
Once Luster Dawn made it to the front door of Charlie's home. She activated her horn and twisted the handle with her magic, then she pulled it open and she was greeted by two Royal guards.
"Hello Luster Dawn, we are here to pick up the saviour of our land Charlie Lam."
"Okay." Luster Dawn said with a nod, she then turned around and looked at Charlie and said "Charlie, it's time to go."
"Alright, I'm coming." Charlie said, he then got off the couch and staggered because of his wound.
When Luster Dawn noticed this, she immediately ran up to him and began to succour him by placing his left hoof around her neck and helping him up.
"Thank you Luster Dawn."
"Your welcome."
After that, Luster Dawn and Charlie began to slowly walk to the golden carriage.
Once they have exited his home, they slowly stepped into the carriage and sat on the comfortable seat. Then, the two guards got to the front of the carriage and began to pull it in a very high speed which surprised Charlie.
"Whoa, the speed of this carriage is almost like a Lamborghini." Charlie thought.
Fifty minutes later, the carriage has made it to the front gate of Canterlot. The guards shouted some words and the two gates slowly pulled opened, then the two guards resumed on pulling the carriage. Charlie looked around the capital and saw that there were many, Ponies, yaks, Changelings, diamond dogs, Kirins, dragons and Griffons cheering and jumping around when they saw the saviour of Equestria.
"Thank you for saving us mister Charlie Lam!" Yelled a mare.
"Your our hero!" Yelled a male dragon.
When Charlie heard the comments, he waved at the creatures with his left hoof along with Luster Dawn.
"How does it feel to be a hero?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Well, this is great but, I don't see myself as a hero." Charlie replied which made Luster Dawn bewildered.
"What do you mean?"
"Well you see in life there are many ponies or people who are inclined to peace and savage brutality but, there are no heros and villains, just people, and lives are worth saving, that was the reason why I felt disconsolated and ashamed that I couldn't convince and negotiate with the Lieutenant General peacefully." He told her.
Luster Dawn was truly amazed at his beautiful and logical sentence. Even though there are some vile villains outside of Equestria, but everypony is just the same, there are no good guys or bad guys. Then, Luster Dawn rested her head on his shoulder, when Charlie felt this, he nuzzled her and Luster Dawn gave out a smile.
The carriage came to a stop fifteen seconds later, Charlie looked up and saw that they have stopped at Princess Twilight Sparkle's castle. Then, the two guards opened the carriage door and the two couples stepped off. Charlie took a quick survey around the castle and saw that it was very big and beautiful, it is almost similar as a giant mansion.
"Charlie Lam, Luster Dawn. Please follow me to Princess Twilight Sparkle's throne room." Said a female guard.
"Okay." Charlie and Luster Dawn said in unison.
Then, the female guard began to lead Charlie and Luster Dawn to the castle doors. Once they got there, two Royal guards pushed them open and the female guard Charlie and Luster Dawn all stepped into the castle.
While they were walking in the hallways, many guards greeted Charlie and Luster Dawn with a bow, and Charlie replied back with a nod and a wave. Then, he began to observe the long hall and saw that it has been completely fixed and renovated again to it's normal self.
"This place is quite fancy." Charlie said quietly.
"Of course it is." Luster Dawn whispered to him.
"Alright, let's stop right here." The female guard told them.
Charlie and Luster Dawn did what they were told and stopped in their tracks right in front of two large doors that probably leads to the throne room to Charlie's assumption. The female guard placed her hooves onto the large doors and pushed it open, then she looked back at the two couples.
"Princess Twilight Sparkle is waiting for you two."
"Okay."
After that, Charlie and Luster Dawn both stepped into the throne room.
While walking, Charlie looked forward and saw Princess Twilight Sparkle sitting on her fixed throne next to the purple dragon named Spike. The whole throne room was repaired, the Chinese flags were gone, tanks and towed artillerys have vanished from the talisman. The guns storage were cleaned away. And the Lieutenant General's office has turned back to Princess Twilight Sparkle's throne.
Twilight smiled when she saw Charlie and Luster Dawn entering the throne room. She then stood up and flew to the floor near them, and Charlie and Luster Dawn bowed when they saw the Princess.
"Charlie Lam, Luster Dawn. Welcome back to my castle." Twilight said with a smile.
"It is an honour Princess Twilight." Luster Dawn said with a smile towards her mentor.
"Thank you for inviting us back Princess Twilight Sparkle." Charlie said with a smile "But I must ask, why did you call us here again?" He asked.
"I am here to announce something." She replied, and Charlie's eyes widened in interest.
"Announce what?"
"Wait right here." Twilight told him as she turned around and walked back to her throne. She then picked up a book in a cupboard with her magic and flipped the pages, then she stepped in front of Charlie and Luster Dawn and began to speak.
"Charlie Lam, a human from another world who has came to ours to assist us with defeating his kind. At first, me and my friends viewed him as an enemy or another savage killer but, he was a kind and generous human compared to the others. He transformed into an alicorn because of the golden talisman I gave him which provoked a huge panic from him but, he managed to overcome in just a few seconds. After his transformation, he and Luster Dawn began to go to the Kirin Village, Griffonstone Cloudsdale, Changeling Kingdom and the Dragon lands to recruit the remaining of the survivors but, they all declined to assist because he was human, and he and Luster Dawn were forced to go back to Canterlot. Back in Canterlot, Charlie and Luster Dawn sneaked into the sewer tunnels and into the dungeon of my castle to look for survivors but unfortunately, they have been captured and enslaved on the next day. All hope seems lost but that was until Charlie encouraged us not to give up and loose hope. And after ten days, we have successfully escaped our occupied capital and fought back against the human army and reclaimed it, and Charlie's talisman has restored the whole land as well as bringing the killed creatures back to life. But at the end, Charlie was nearly killed by a bullet wound from a human soldier he spared in the Changeling Kingdom. And he needed urgent medication so I brought him to a guest room and laid him on the bed. And the creatures of Equestria has brought loads of medical equipments like herbs, bandages and many more. And finally, I used my magic and Charlie has successfully been healed and is now making a new life here since he cannot go back home. And because of his bravery, sacrifice, dignity, honor and respect, I now officially anoint him as the Prince and protector of Equestria." Twilight stated with a smile, then she closed the book.
Charlie was truly stunned when he heard that Twilight declared him the Prince and saviour of the land. He tried to talk but the doors to the throne room opened again.
Charlie and Luster Dawn both turned around and saw the creatures of Equestria rushing towards them and throwing party ribbons on them, and Royal guards began to blow trumpets, then Luster Dawn hugged Charlie.
"Your the Prince and saviour of the land now Charlie!"
"That's good." Charlie chuckled anxiously. Then, he looked at Twilight.
"Princess Twilight, I don't know if I am fit enough to be a Prince because, it takes a lot of efforts."
"I know, I encountered that challenge as well when I was Celestia's student. But, I managed to overcome it with the help of my friends."
"That's good to hear. And I guess being a Prince will get drastically difficult but, I'll give it a shot."
"That's great to hear." Twilight said with a smile, then she remembered something "Oh right! I need to give you this!"
Then, Twilight activated her horn and summoned a small golden crown with three small blue gems attached to it. After that, she placed it on Charlie's head and every creatures in the throne room began to cheer louder.
"Welcome to Equestria Prince Charlie Lam, you are hereby announced as the element of tactics."
Charlie found it preposterous when he heard that he was the element of tactics but, it was true since he did came up with all of the tactics and strategies to rescue the creatures from the Chinese army and how to defeat them easily.
"Woohoo! Let's throw a party for our saviour and Prince!" Pinkie yelled enthusiastically.
Then, all of the creatures lifted Charlie and Luster Dawn up on them and began to rush outside to party with Twilight Sparkle and Spike behind them all.
"Whoa! You have some crazy and humorous friends Luster Dawn." Charlie said.
"I know, and that is why I like it." Luster Dawn said as she hugged Charlie, and Charlie hugged back.

10 years later
Prince Charlie Lam and Princess Luster Dawn have been dating each other for ten years now and nothing ever went wrong. They went on adventures, shared knowledge about each other's cultures and capabilities, the human details that astonished Luster Dawn were their languages, technologies and education, but what petrified her was their world wars. And the pony details that astonished Charlie were magic as well as how the ruler Princess Twilight Sparkle fought dozens of villains in the past along with her friends, which was almost like world war one and two.
Then, the day came when Charlie decided to propose to Luster Dawn. He went to a jewellery shop in Ponyville and bough a golden ring with a pink diamond attached on the top with some bits he earned from Twilight Sparkle since he was the saviour and Prince. The owner wished him luck and Charlie ran to Luster Dawn.
Once he found her in Ponyville lake, he walked up to her bent down and opened up the box and Luster Dawn the pink alicorn Princess immediately gasped when she saw the beautiful and shiny ring.
"Princess Luster Dawn, will you marry me?"
Luster Dawn replied by launching herself directly at him and hugging him and planting kisses all over his face, and Charlie would take that answer as a yes.
The two couple told the intoxicating news to their families, friends and Princess Twilight and all of them were so happy for their sake.
The wedding was held in Princess Twilight Sparkle's castle. Charlie was wearing a tucxito while standing next to Twilight Sparkle, and he was very anxious almost like the time when he first joined the M.I.T university. And Luster Dawn was still preparing in a room with the help of her father and Rarity.
"Relax Charlie, you'll be the most suitable husband for Luster Dawn." Twilight told him with a smile.
"Maybe your right." Charlie chuckled nervously.
Then the hallway doors opened, and Charlie's eyes shot opened when looked to his left because, there was Luster Dawn in a beautiful pink dress, her hair was brushed smoothly, she was wearing a pair golden shoes, and she had pink lipsticks on her, and she was being lead by Sunburst.
"Oh wow, she is just like I remember, during our adventure." Said Charlie.
"Take it easy Charlie." Starlight giggled.
Once Luster Dawn arrived to Charlie right in front of Twilight, she gave him a smile.
"Hello Charlie."
"H-hello Luster Dawn."
Then Twilight grabbed a book and began talking.
"Mares and Gentlecolts, we are gathered here to see the wedding of Prince Charlie Lam and Princess Luster Dawn. This will make a new start to our Kingdom rulers as well as their foal who will replace them in the future." Twilight said, then she looked at her student Luster Dawn "Luster Dawn do you take Charlie to be your lovely wedded husband?"
"I do Princess Twilight."
Then, Twilight looked at Charlie.
"What about you Charlie? Do you take Luster Dawn to be your lovely wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Now with the power invested I now pronounce you two husband and wife, you may kiss." Twilight said with an exhilarated smile.
Once Twilight has finished her speech, Charlie and Luster Dawn both leaned close to each other and kissed. And when the kiss happened, all of the creatures began cheering and whistling. After five seconds, they released and chuckled.
"Now everyone, let's go out and celebrate with our lovely couple."
Once Twilight said those words, everyone rushed outside the garden.
While in the garden, Charlie and Luster Dawn were dancing with each other along with all of the creatures of Equestria. And they were all dancing to Charlie's song he chose from his world.
"Isn't this a beautiful day Charlie?" Luster Dawn asked while resting her head on him with a warm smile.
"Indeed it is Lusty." Charlie said while placing his head on her's.
Twilight and her friends were looking at the two couple with tears rolling down their cheeks.
"I'm so proud." Sunburst said crying, and Starlight began to pat his back.
"Luster Dawn and Charlie are the most cutest couple ever." Said Twilight and her friends nodded in unison.
"Time for the second song!" A mare yelled on a small music stage.
When Charlie heard this, he decided to choose a soother song to dance with Luster Dawn. He closed his eyes and summoned a disc and tossed it to the mare on the stage.
The mare caught the disc with her hoof and placed it on the turntable, then another song from his world was played. And this song was even more softer.
Once that song was playing all of the creatures began to slow dance while following the beats of the soft music. And the mane six, Sunburst, Starlight, Lil Cheese and Cheese Sandwich loved it.
"Wow, Charlie's kind do know how to write songs." Rainbow Dash said with an impressed expression, and her friends nodded in agreement.
One year later
One year after the wedding, Luster Dawn got pregnant and she was going to give birth in Ponyville hospital, and Charlie was accompanying her along with Sunburts and Starlight. After Luster Dawn pushed one more time, the baby was out.
"Waa! Waa! Waa!"
The doctor checked the gender of the newborn alicorn baby and saw that it was a colt.
"Congratulations Charlie and Luster Dawn, you two have a colt." The doctor smiled.
A nurse wrapped the baby in a comfortable green cloth and gave him to Luster Dawn. And Luster Dawn smiled when she saw her son.
"He's so adorable." Luster Dawn said shedding a tear.
"Indeed." Charlie agreed with a nod.
"What will you two name him?" Sunburst and Starlight asked.
Charlie and Luster Dawn thought for a moment, then Charlie and Luster Dawn came up with the most suitable name for him.
"Hey Charlie, do you remember the time when me and you walked in the Everfree forest to the changeling kingdom?" Luster Dawn asked.
"Yes I do." Charlie said with a nod and a smile.
"So... what are the two of your decisions?" Sunburst asked in confusion.
Charlie and Luster Dawn both looked at Sunburst and Starlight with smiles on their muzzles.
"We will name him Sydney."
Sunburst and Starlight both thought about the name for a moment then smiled.
"Welcome to Equestria Prince Sydney." Luster Dawn said kissing her son on the forehead.
"This will be a great start." Charlie said with a smile.
But unknown to them, there was a dark coloured drone spying on them through a window, and it was recording them cautiously as well as gathering some information.
Hong Kong police station Year 2032 June 21st
"我哋好快就見了查理·林先生. (We'll be meeting each other very soon mister Charlie Lam.)" Said a male police officer, then he turned around and looked at his colleague.
"聯繫特殊職責單位、防暴警詧和其他警察局. 然後, 我哋可以去征服中國大陸嘅總統的土地. (Contact the special duties unit, riot police and other police stations. Then, we can go and conquer the land for mainland China's President.)"
"Yes sir." The police officer saluted to the chief, then he turned around and exited the office.
"一旦我哋入侵你哋嘅土地, 你同你哋嘅老婆就應該保持高度警惕. (You and your wife should be on high alert once we invade your land for the Chinese President.)" The police chief said with a smile.

Chapter and title edited on 16th May 2020.
Arrival and meeting the ruler
Everfree forest
In the Everfree forest near Ponyville, a bright glow was seen near the trees. After five seconds, the glow faded away and Charlie was seen sitting on the grass with a pained expression.
"Oh, my head, my legs, my everything." Charlie groaned, he took a quick observation around him and saw that he was in a forest considering the trees and grass he was lying on.
He slowly placed his hands on the soft grass and pushed himself up on his feet and staggered a little, but he managed to keep his balance.
"Okay, where am I?" Charlie asked himself as he grabbed his high tech safety glasses. Once he wore them, his goggles began to scan the area. He looked in front of him and saw a giant gate.
"Whoa, what is this place?" Charlie said with wide eyes. After that, he began to approach the large gate. And once he got there, Charlie saw a devastated town which traumatized him.
"Oh my what happened here?" Charlie asked, he then stepped forward to get a better look at it but his goggles detected a hazard and warned him by showing a hazard symbol on his goggles with words saying 'Hazard detected'.
When Charlie heard the warning, he clicked on a button on his goggles and it showed him a transparent image of three chinese soldiers and one police officer armed wirh guns walking around the area as if they were looking for something or someone.
"Oh my, they must've preoccupied the town." Charlie assumed with a shocked expression "I wonder if there are any survivors here." Charlie said as he pulled up the left side of his science coat and pulled out a small blue coloured drone. He tapped a button on it and the drones four propellers began to rotate slowly, after ten seconds, the tiny propellers on the small drone began to rotate hastily and it lifted off up in the air, them it flew on the air near Charlie and awaited for his command.
"Drone three, scrutinize the town." Charlie told it.
The drone immediately flew up higher in the air and flew into the town to prevent being spotted by the soldiers and single police officer.
Charlie then clicked on a third button on the top left side of his goggles and he got a visual of what the drone is seeing and the view traumatized him because the drone was flying through a burning town with broken buildings which looks like they were going to collapse. The drone then scanned the area for any civilization but every time it detected nothing, it made a beeping noise.
Charlie was about to give up and tell the drone to return to him but then, his goggles gave him some words and it said 'Civilization detected'.
Charlie's eyes widened when he noticed the word, he then looked at his drone's visual again and saw that it was showing him a house made of biscuits and sweets which perplexed Charlie. Then he commanded his drone again.
"Activate X-Ray scanning mode." Charlie ordered.
The drone obeyed Charlie's order and activated X-Ray mode. After that, Charlie saw what looks to be like twelve ponies and one tall winged creature, and one of the ponies was a lot taller than the other ones and was almost the same height as the unknown winged creature.
"Return to me." Charlie ordered the drone.
The drone obeyed Charlie and deactivated X-Ray mode and flew back to Charlie.
Once the drone arrived back to it's owner, Charlie pulled up his coat's left side and the small drone slowly flew back to it's attachment area between two others.
"Gotta find a way there." Charlie said to himself.
After that, Charlie raised his left arm and tapped on his wrist computer.
"Give me a route to the snack house the drone reviewed." Charlie said.
The wrist computer obeyed Charlie and a large transparent screen was shown in front of him. Then, the wrist computer showed him a quick route to the snack house with a long red arrow. Then the arrow was shown
"Technology is awesome." Charlie said quietly as the transparent screen on his wrist computer disappeared.
After that, he entered the town's entrance and through a sign that said.
Welcome to Ponyville The happiest town in Equestria Population: 1000
"So that's what the town is called." Charlie said to himself. But then, he shook the irrelevant subject out of his head and followed the red arrow indicating on his goggles.
Charlie ran through burning and collapsed houses in the town including some toppled trees and demolished restaurants which was a very petrifying view.
"Oh my, the Chinese have legitimately obliterated this town." Charlie said while following the indicator and looking around the area.
Charlie was halfway to the location of the civilians when suddenly, his goggles gave out a warning.
/!\'PROXIMITY ALERT!' /!\
Charlie was disorientate at first when he saw his goggles giving him a warning because there was no one here. But then, his eyes widened when he saw his goggles telling him that the Chinese police officer was coming towards his location. He then looked at his left and saw an alleyway for him to hide in. He rushed into it and hid behind a large garbage bin. He slowly and cautiously poked his head out and saw a black suited male police officer. He had a hat on him, he was wearing dark pants and has a pistol on his holster.
"Why is he here?" Charlie asked himself quietly.
Charlie was about to move forward to another hiding place but suddenly, he accidentally tipped over a cardbox which drew the police officer's attention. Charlie then hid back in the garbage bin while sweating anxiously.
The police officer pulled out his gun and aimed in the alleyway.
"Shéi zài zhè'er? (Who's here?)" The police officer asked observing his surroundings with his gun pointed in front.
"Uh oh..." Charlie thought while sweating in agitation.
The police officer was getting very close to Charlie's hiding spot which made his heart rate accelerate quickly.
The police officer was closing in near the garbage bin but then his walkie talkie sounded off.
"Zhāng jǐngguān bàogào nín dí dàng qián zhuàngtài. (Officer Cheung report your current status.)"
When Cheung heard someone is calling him from his radio, he immediately turned around, walked back and stood at the exit of the alleyway.
"Zhāng jūnguān bàogào jīn zhōng jiàng. (Officer Cheung reporting Lieutenant General Jin.)"
Charlie poked his head out cautiously from his hiding spot and saw that the police officer was talking with his radio which made him sigh in relief.
"Phew, that was a close one." Charlie thought with a relieved sigh. He then scrutinized the officer to see if he had any dandy equipments on him. After observing him for ten seconds, he thought that the nightstick baton and pistol would be dandy for him.
"Alright, time for a stealth attack." Charlie said to himself quietly. Then he began to slowly approach the police officer.
He tip toed and made some inaudible footsteps. And once he got close, he jumped upwards and wrapped his hands around the officers neck and dragged him downwards and the force of his drag made the officer drop his walkie talkie and muffle.
"Mhhh! Mhhh! Mhhh..."
Then the police officer was out cold.
"I can't believe that worked." Charlie said with a surprised expression.
After that, Charlie pulled out the police officer's nightstick baton and pistol. Then, he took off his firearms belt.
"Alright, time to remove my belt and replace it with the firearms one." Charlie said to himself as he took off his belt and threw it on the ground. After that, he wrapped the firearms belt around his pants belt loop. And finally, he tucked the pistol in the holster and nightstick in the baton holder.
"Now I look like Vin Diesel." Charlie said with a smile. After that, he clicked on the button on his safety goggles and it revealed the red arrow route again.
"Alright, time to proceed." Charlie said as he ran out of the alleyway and proceeded to the snack house.
While running, Charlie has encountered a hazard again in front of him. He hid behind a house and looked and saw three Chinese soldiers armed with assault rifles apprehending three terrified ponies.
"Dàibǔ tāmen, ránhòu dài tāmen dào chéngbǎo zhōng jiàng de bàngōngshì! (Arrest them and take them to the Lieutenant General's office in the castle!)" One of the soldiers ordered.
"Luō jié nàgè zhōng shì! (Roger that sergeant!)" The two soldiers said with salutes. After that, the two Chinese soldiers brought out metal cuffs from their belts. Then, they lifted the ponies up and cuffed their hooves, and finally the three soldiers dragged the three struggling ponies to the castle.
"Oh man, this is getting worse." Charlie said. He then slightly tilted his head to the right and saw the snack house that the drone showed him, then his goggle scanner gave him two words saying 'DESTINATION REACHED'
"So this is the place?" Charlie said while surveying the house made of snacks "This looks like a child's dream, but I can abide with it because I did go very deranged for candy once when I was six years old which was quite humiliating." He finished with a roll of his eyes.
After that, Charlie slowly approached the front door of the snack house and knocked on the door.
"Hello? Anyone home?" Charlie asked. At first he didn't pick up a noise but then, he got the noise of quiet panicking from the inside.
Charlie then flipped open a small pocket in his right side of his science coat and pulled out a small contraption he named the 'feasible door opening laser' he then stuck his tiny circle gadget on the centre of the door, and finally he pressed a small button on the middle of it. Then the small gadget shot out two long metal rods out, and it began to circle around the door leaving a trail of red laser behind. After making a single loop, the gadget came to a stop in a six O' Clock position. The metal rods then automatically tucked back inside the small metal circle and the gadget was turned off. Charlie then pulled his gadget away form the door and tucked it back in one of his pockets in his coat.
"It's a good thing I went to technology conventions with my family." Charlie said with a grateful smile.
Once the step was accomplished. Charlie pressed his right foot on the circle area of the door and began to kick it down. After four attempts, the faulty circle area of the door dropped onto the floor inside the house making a 'bang' noise in the process. Charlie then began to perusal the room and saw that it was very dark.
"Why is it so dark in here?" Charlie said as he stepped inside the house. But when he looked to at his left, he saw a very convenient light switch.
"Huh, what a coincidence." Charlie said with a surprise expression. Then, he reached out for the light switch with his right hand and flipped it upwards, then the room's light was turned on.
Once it was on, Charlie was first met with a battle cry noise in front of him.
"Yaaahhhhh!"
Charlie looked in front of him and saw a giant purple dragon charging towards him with it's right arm swung back.
"Whoa!" Charlie said as he front kicked the dragon on the chest. And the force of the kick made the dragon stagger backwards while holding it's chest in pain.
Charlie looked behind the dragon and saw many ponies starting at him with petrified expressions, none of them knowing what he will do. And when Charlie noticed all of the looks he is receiving, he was a little anxious, but he didn't even attempted to reach for the pistol in the holster.
"Ahh! An invader!" The pink coloured female pony yelled.
"Somepony make this horrible white suited ruffian leave!" A female white unicorn yelled.
"It can speak Equestrian!" A yellow coloured pegasus screamed.
"Whoa whoa easy there everyone." Charlie tried to calm all of them down.
"Every what?" A blue coloured pony with wings asked.
Charlie tried to intervene again but a sight stopped him. He looked in front of him and saw a large and unique purple pony with a unicorn horn on it's forehead, two wings on the side of it's body and it had a purple effect on it's mane and hair and Charlie must assume that the pony was a female considering the colour and facial expression. And it looks like it was bleeding from her chest.
"Is she alright?" Charlie asked them.
Then the dragon and eleven ponies looked at Twilight Sparkle and saw that her condition was worsening.
"Oh no, Twilight's condition it getting worse." A light purple pony said with a worried expression.
"I think I have enough adroit medical experiences to fix this." Charlie thought.
Charlie then began to slowly and casually approach the large purple pony.
When Twilight's friends saw the invader approaching Twilight, they began to defend her.
"Hey hey easy there, I'm not here to hurt any of you." Charlie told them softly. "I just want to help."
Twilight's friends were surprised by the invader's polite tone. But they don't know if they should believe him or not but Twilight's life was worth it, so they had no other choice but to mive out of the invader's way. Charlie smiled and walked up to the bleeding Princess, he bent down and scanned her wound with his goggles. He then detected a long sniper rifle bullet stuck inside her chest.
"Whoa, looks like a sniper rifle bullet." Charlie said quietly as he pulled out a tweezer from his pocket.
"Um... what was that again?" Twilight asked the invader but it disregarded her and continued to focus to the bullet wound.
Charlie then stuck the tweezer inside Twilight's chest which made her scream in agony.
"Calm down miss, I almost have the bullet." Charlie told her. After two more attempts, he managed to grab onto the bullet, then he slowly pulled it out and after three seconds, the bullet was successfully removed from her.
"Gotcha!" Charlie said with a proud smile. After that, he threw the tweezers and bullet away.
Charlie then pulled out a tall first aid spray from one of his deep pockets in his coat. He then twist opened the lid and aimed the nozzle at her chest wound, after that, he pressed the button on the spray and green and cold liquid were sprayed onto her which made Twilight grit her teeth, after three seconds, Twilight's wound disappeared.
"There we go, all healed up." Charlie said as he tucked his first aid spray back into his belt.
Twilight looked down on her wound and saw that it disappeared. She then looked up at the invader with a grateful smile.
"Thank you." She said.
"You are very welcome."
"You are not like the rest of them are you?" She asked.
"No." He replied with a shake of his head "And I'm not where their from, I'm from Australia while they are from China." He told them.
Twilight was going to ask the invader some more questions but then, she sensed something in him. It was power, power stronger than discord and her, and this power could defeat the invaders occupying her castle and subjects.
"You have power in you." Twilight said quietly with wide eyes.
"Pardon?"
Twilight replied by activating her horn which caught Charlie off guard. Then she pulled out a golden talisman, but to Charlie it was a large golden necklace.
"Here, take this talisman, it will protect you." Twilight tried to offer it to him.
Charlie looked at the luxurious talisman for a while then shook his head.
"I'm sorry miss, I'm afraid I have to decline it." Charlie said as he pushed the talisman back to her "You should keep it to yourself for your own safety being." He told her.
After that, Charlie stood up.
"Well, I guess I'll be leaving now. See ya later miss, and I hope that one day you can save your land." He said as he turned around and attempted to leave, but then the sound of the pony crawling towards him made him halt and turn around and look down at her.
"Please." She said "Not only will this talisman protect you, it is also the key to save my land and my subjects, and I sense some power in you that can help save my land and subjects so please." She pleaded him.
Charlie's eyes widened when he heard her saying that he has power.
"I have power?" Charlie asked himself. He then bent down and looked at Twilight and was eager to know more.
"How do you want me to use the talisman? And what is this power in me?" Charlie asked.
"The power is for you to discover. And the talisman will guide you to the other lands of Equestria and you have to recruit the remaining survivors and rescue my land and subjects please." Twilight pleaded.
Charlie began to think about her words, does he really have power? And what are the other lands or continents of Equestria? But still, he couldn't just leave the ponies and other creatures to be enslaved by the Chinese like this so he had to succour them.
"I'm in." He said as he grabbed the talisman.
"Thank you." Twilight said with a grateful smile "You can start by touching the small gems on the talisman." She preached him.
"Okay, I'll give it my best shot." Charlie said as he stood up "And I'll be back as soon as I can before the Chinese finds you." He told them.
After that, Charlie turned around and exited the snack house.
Luster Dawn took a quick observation of the invader and saw that this one is more friendly. And it would also seem like it will need some assistance around the land. She then looked at her parents.
"Dad, mom. I think the invader needs some assistance here." She told them.
Sunburst and Starlight looked at their daughter with a perplexed expression.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm just saying, he might get lost without some help from one of us. So I want to volunteer to help." Luster Dawn told them "Besides, this invader seems a bit more kind and friendly compared to the other ones." She finished in a veracious sense.
Sunburst and Starlight tried to object but Twilight intervened.
"You daughter is right guys. This invader needs down assistance around our land since he is not from here, and your daughter is the most eligible for the work." Twilight told them.
Sunburst and Starlight both thought for a moment then sighed.
"Okay Luster Dawn, you can assist the invader. But be sure to be back quickly alright?"
"Alright." Luster Dawn said as she hugged her parents. After ten seconds, she rushed out of sugarcube corner and ran to catch up with the invader.

Jin An Rong vs Twilight Sparkle
Lieutenant General Jin An Rong has drove his jeep to basement 2 of the military headquarter. The sliding gates automatically opened, and Jin drove in, he then parked his car in an empty place right next to a technical truck. Then, he got off his jeep and dragged Twilight Sparkle off as well, and finally, he walked to the elevator and tapped on the up button.
Five seconds later, the elevator doors opened and Jin stepped inside along with Twilight Sparkle who wasn't making any movements because she wanted to fight the leader of the invaders with no feelings of feart. Jin then tapped on 'B1', and the elevator doors closed. And finally, the elevator began to go up to basement 1 floor.
Once the elevator indicator showed B1, the doors slid opened and Jin saw one of the military staff sergeants, and his name Wong Lau Man, when Wong saw the Lieutenant General, he immediately stood up and saluted.
"Jīn zhōng jiàng! (Lieutenant General Jin!)"
Jin walked up to Wong Lau Man and began to give him an order.
"Wong zhōng shì, wǒ xūyào nín qù shítáng, shōují suǒyǒu 14 míng xīnbīng, bìng jiāng tāmen dài dào duìzhàn zǒngbù, yǐbiàn tāmen kàn dào zhēnzhèng dí shìbīng rúhé zhàndòu. (Staff sergeant Wong, I need you to go to the canteen and gather all fourteen of the new recruits and get them to the sparring headquarters so that they can see how a true soldier fights.)" He ordered.
"Wǒ mǎshàng qù jiějué! Jīn zhōng jiàng! (I'll get to it right now Lieutenant General Jin!)" Wong said as he saluted again.
"Hǎo, qǐng quèbǎo nín qù zhǎo rén yòng xiàngjī jìlù xià wǒmen de zhàndòu, yǐbiàn jiāngjūn huò zǒngtǒng dōu néng kàn dào wǒmen lìng rén mǎnyì de gōngzuò. (Good, and make sure you go and get someone to record our battle with a camera so that either the General or the President can see our satisfying job.)" Jin added as he dragged Princess Twilight Sparkle to the sparring headquarters.
"Shì, zhǎngguān! (Sir yes sir!)" Wong said, after that, he ran to the fourteen new recruits dorm.
Once staff sergeant Wong has arrived at the canteen doors, he placed his hands on it and pushed it open.
"Qǐchuáng shìbīng! Lùjūn zhōng jiàng xīwàng dàjiā jùjí zài duì liàn zǒngbù, zài jìnxíng yīcì zhàndòu kèchéng, yīncǐ, qǐng fàng kāi túnbù, lìjí qiánwǎng nàlǐ! (Get up soldiers! The Lieutenant General wants you all to gather in the sparring headquarters for another combat lesson, so get off your butts and head over there now!)" Staff Sergeant Wong ordered.
Then all of the soldiers got up from their seats and ran out of the canteen and went to the sparring headquarter with the staff sergeant behind them.
Once they got to the back entrance gate for soldiers only, the staff sergeant opened it and all fourteen of the soldiers stood around the large square mat in a circle.
"Zuò xià! Zuò xià! Yídòng! (Sit down! Sit down! Move it!)" The staff Sergeant ordered, then all of the soldiers sat down including the staff sergeant himself.
Five seconds later, the Lieutenant General entered the room with Princess Twilight Sparkle behind him. He then folded his green suit and placed it off of the mat, then, he wore a level three vest, riot shin guards, metal wrist armour, metal knee and elbow pads, shoulder pads, and a dark helmet. Then, he began to talk to all of the rookie soldiers.
"Wǒ zhèngzài nǔlì chéngwéi yīgè gōngpíng de rén. Yīncǐ, zìcóng “mù guāng zhī chéng” de “mù guāng zhī chéng” gōngzhǔ pòqiè xīwàng wǒ hé nǐmen suǒyǒu rén fàngshǒu, ràng tāmen duì tā de chénmín biǎoxiàn chū yīdìng de kuānróng. Wǒ hěn gāoxìng fàngzòng zìjǐ de gōngzuò shíjiān, gěi gōngzhǔ zài zhèlǐ de jīhuì lái zhèngmíng tā zhídé wǒ tíchū yāoqiú. (I'm trying to be a fair man. So since Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria here so desperately wants me and all of you to show some leniency to her subjects by letting them go. I'm happy to get off my rack time and give the Princess here a chance to prove, that she is worthy to give me demands.)" Jin said.
Then Princess Twilight Sparkle stood on the mat as well.
Jin looked at one of his men guarding the gate and began to give him an order.
"Yong Zheng Liang, dǎkāi tā de xiùkǒu, qǔ xià tā jiǎo shàng de yìzhì qì huán. (Uncuff her and remove the suppressor ring on her horn.)"
Yong nodded and ran up to Twilight Sparkle. He then removed the metal suppressor cuffs on her hooves and removed the suppressor ring on her horn, but her wings were still cuffed. And finally, he ran back to his place.
Twilight was very disorientate when she saw that her cuffs and circle pressure thing being taken off.
"Why did you-"
"It wouldn't be fair if you had your advantages locked away right?" Jin asked.
Twilight tried to add something else but Jin cut her off.
"Anyways, one on one combat match, no rules, you fight till you drop." Jin told her. He then looked at the cameraman on his left.
"Quèbǎo zài shìpín shàng huòdé suǒyǒu zhèxiē xìnxī. (Make sure you get all of this on video.)"
"Shì, zhǎngguān. (Sir yes sir.)" The soldier said as he began recording.
After that, Jin got into a fighting stance, and Twilight began to charge her horn. None of the two were making any movements, but then, Jin decided to make his first move. He ran up to the Princess and jumped in the air, attempted to front kick her in the face. Twilight responded by blasting him in the chest, Jin was sent flying back when the magic blast collided with his chest, but he didn't get injured because of his vest, and he fell on his back on the mat roughly.
Jin looked up at Princess Twilight Sparkle with a vexed expression. He then pushed himself back up and ran up to her in an incredible speed. When Jin closed his distance between her, he drew his right leg back and attempted to hit her with a front kick, but Twilight responded by side stepping the attack, but Jin reacted quicker and attempted to hit Twilight with a round house punch. When Twilight noticed the attack, she evaded it by ducking her head. Then, she charged her horn again and blasted the invader in the chest again with her magic. And Jin was sent falling on the mat, but he recovered quickly and kicked himself back up, and the result gave him a bruising back.
"What in Equestria? How could an invader like him be able to get up from two of my blasts that quick?" Twilight thought while breathing heavily.
Jin then ran up towards Twilight again and attempted to side kick her in the face, but Twilight managed to block it with her hooves. But suddenly, Jin landed a reverse turning kick to the side of her face. And the force of his kick made her fall roughly on the mat.
Twilight moaned and looked up and saw the invader lifting it's right leg up in the air and attempting to finish her with an axekick, when she took noticed of the attack, she paralysed Jin's leg and flipped him backwards, and Jin was sent falling face first on the mat. He groaned and slowly pushed himself back up again, only to be met with a magical blast flying towards him. And when Jin noticed it, he shielded his face with his armoured wrist but it wasn't enough when the blast pushed him back and made him fall on the mat, and his left wrist pad fell off the mat, Jin groaned in exasperation and pushed himself back up, wiping a strain of blood from his lip. He clenched his fists, and Twilight charged her horn again.
The two fighters circled around each other for a moment. None making any moves, Jin clenched his fists, and Twilight activated her horn.
Then, Jin made his move. He ran up to Princess Twilight Sparkle and attempted to punch her in the muzzle. When Twilight noticed the attack, she paralysed the invader's hand with her magic, and the punch was ceased, she attempted to throw the invader up into the ceiling but unexpectedly, the magic grasp broke apart and the punch landed directly at her muzzle, and the force of the invader's punch made Twilight grunt in pain and stagger backwards with a bleeding muzzle. Then, Jin front kicked Twilight in the face again and she was sent skidding backward nearly falling over in the process.
"How is this possible?" Twilight said quietly with her eyes closed because of the contusion she received.
"You should invent more stronger armour Princess Twilight, and I would also recommend you to engage more in hand to hand combat instead of using your feeble magic." Jin insulted.
Then, Jin ran up towards Twilight Sparkle again.
Twilight managed to open her eyes in time and noticed the invader charging towards her. She then swung her right hoof back and attempted to punch him in the face.
When Jin noticed the temerarious attack from the debilitated Princess, he grabbed the hoof and twisted it.
"Ahhhhh!" Twilight screamed in pain.
After that, Jin bent down and grabbed Twilight's back left hoof. And finally, he lifted her up in the air and slammed her roughly on the mat which made a loud thud.
Jin then stood up again and looked down at Twilight Sparkle with a vile smile.
"Is that it?"
Twilight coughed out blood on the mat, then she placed her hooves on the mat and slowly began to push herself back up which made Jin shake his head in disappointment. Then, Twilight activated her horn again.
When Jin noticed this, he immediately ran up to the Princess and jumped up in the air. Attempting to hit her with a flying front kick to the face. Twilight responded by side stepping the attack and blasting the invader's waist, and Jin crashed onto the mat roughly with a bruised face and her magic blast managed to pierce his vest a bit, and it now has a small hole on the right side. He turned around and saw Twilight Sparkle running up towards him and attempting to kick him in the face. When Jin noticed the attack, he grabbed Twilight's hoof and punched it which made a loud bone cracking noise. After that, Twilight fell on the floor in pain.
"Auughh!" Twilight grunted in agony.
Jin stood up again and sent the Princess another vile smile.
"You know I just realized, you and your subjects look a hell of a like, when you beg for mercy and resources." Jin told her.
Twilight placed her hooves on the mat again and attempted to stand up and fight while disregarding her broken back hoof.
Jin wasn't going to let her get up again. He gripped onto the Princess's horn with his right hand and slammed her face first onto the mat which gave even more contusions on her. Then, Jin wrapped his arms around her neck and kneed her in the chest four times, and the attacks made Twilight cough out blood. And finally, Jin released his grapple and reverse kicked the Princess in the chin. And the force of his kick sent Twilight crashing roughly into the gate, with a bleeding muzzle, bruising back, chest, two broken hooves and two bruised hooves.
After the battle, Jin looked at all of the soldiers.
"Nín bù juédé wǒ yīnggāi dédào zhǎngshēng ma? (Don't you think I deserve a round of applause?)" Jin asked.
Then, all of the soldiers began cheering and clapping.
Jin wiped his blood dripping nose and forehead with his right sleeve after those rough falls, then he looked at the staff sergeant.
"Huáng cānmóu zhǎng, jiāng mù guāng shǎnshǎn dài huí hùwài jìxù tā de gōngzuò. (Staff Sergeant Wong, bring Twilight Sparkle back outside to continue her work.)" Jin ordered.
"Shì, zhǎngguān. (Sir yes sir.)"
After that, Wong stood up from the floor and ran up to the wounded Princess Twilight Sparkle. He then grabbed her by her hooves and began to drag her back to the working area by driving in his truck. While he was doing that, he took out his airpods and began to listen to a song on YouTube.
Back in the working area in Canterlot. All of the creatures as well as Charlie Lam were constantly doing their work for two hours now, they will have to wait for tonight to commence their escape.
But suddenly, a revving sound ceased them. They all looked at the source of the sound and saw another large mechanic beast, but to Charlie, it was a military truck.
Then, an invader got off the truck and walked to the back. Then, Princess Twilight Sparkle was thrown onto the ground.
"Twilight!" Her friends and Charlie screamed in horror. Then, they ran up to her and began to scrutinize her condition.
The invader who dropped her here got back into his truck and drove back to the headquarters.
"Twilight! Twilight!" Her friend screamed trying to wake her up, but she was unconscious.
Charlie surveyed her with his eyes and saw that she had a bloody muzzle, a left black eye, a bruised back and chest, a broken hoof and three bruising ones. And the sight made all of the creatures feel a huge melancholy.
"Princess Twilight." Luster Dawn said shedding a tear along with all of the creatures.
When Charlie noticed Luster Dawn crying, he embraced her in a hug and began to comfort her.
"Shhh shh shh, calm down Luster Dawn. I promise that we will get out of here tonight, and after we have done that, I will make the Lieutenant General pay for his exertion towards your ruler." Charlie whispered to her.
