3 days after the battle, Mike POV.

No. It's not good. You surely ask yourself: what is the problem this time? Well, I had a briefing with all my companions. And we all agree in the term if one day we want to attack other towns, we will need more firepower. I know, we have rockets launchers and rotative blasters but even if they have not our technology, the ponies will adapt and maybe try something to take our weapons. That why I make sure to add something on all the weapons we have: an auto disintegration. How? It's very simple, you remember the stones we use for the blue fire? I make sure there is a portion of it in a recipient if you can say this in each weapon. If a Mandalorian lost his weapon and doesn't find it, he will press a button that it places on one of the wrist parts of the armor and will activate it to make a reaction with the crystal and make the stone who is make in gunpowder disintegrate the weapon. It was one of my scientists who find that and it was very good for us. But to go back on the firepower problem, well I have my idea. An AT-ST, the bipedal imperial vehicle. Yes, you hear me, and I know a lot of you will ask: but why? The rocket launchers are effective. Yes, but think about it, what will happen if the ponies saw this kill their guards or destroying their house for example. They will be scared and it will tell them this: 'if you join your army effort, you're dead' or 'don't try to hide, we will always find you' yeah I know the second one was not really effective but they can always think about that.

Now, I needed to make a prototype, hopefully, the engineers and blacksmiths can help me. Why the blacksmiths? Well, they can make all the different parts of the vehicle and the engineers put them together and put all the electronic stuff in it, yes electronic stuff. We have discovered a lot of crystals and all of them with different properties: some can be used for the blasters since they are a little unstable, others who can produce a sort of electricity, etc... So yeah we have a sort of electricity here. The problem is no Mandalorian want to pilots it because of the culture since I taught them the Mandalorian culture, they are like vehicles are not for them. I know it's really stupid, even if your culture says you are a warrior take the vehicle damn it! I tried everything to change their mind but they are too much in the warrior thing, something I don't understand, we have the advantage to have something who can change a lot of things but we can't use it because of the warrior way, I respect it but please we have a chance here!

You know what nevermind, I will find something. I decided to go for a walk and see all the humans who have not to join any 'job' yet. Something intrigues me, then they saw me they all bow before me, something the Mandalorians don't do. I decided to talk to them.

"Why are you bowing?"

"We are bowing because you're before us, Emperor."

"Emperor?"

"Yes." I turn around to see Astrid behind me.

"What are you talking about Astrid?"

"I think Emma told you about the prophecy where humanity will be liberated by a human with powers." I nod. Yes, Emma told me about that but what is the connection with the 'Emperor' thing?

"Well, to be short there is a lot of variants of it. A variant talk about the human with powers but who will become the Emperor of humanity. This is why they call you that and they will not call you Mandalore because all the variants are like holy artifacts in the tribes you learn this prophecy so they will call you Emperor and not Mandalore, this is sacred for them." I nod again. So, if I understand there is a lot of variants of this so-called prophecy and it's sacred in the tribes you learn one of these variants, when you think about it it's cool but there is something else. They called me Emperor, I immediately think about the Galactic Empire. Maybe, I've found the answer to my problem. Yes! To explain, if I teach them the Imperial culture instead of the Mandalorian one, they will not have this problem with the pilot thing.

"You may rise." They all rise. "Now, I need to know. Who wants to join me to fight the ponies? I know, maybe you have a family but think about it, do you prefer to die but know you are free or be slaves and let the other be slaves as well?"

"Die with liberty, Emperor!" Well, I can say a lot of them are enthusiastic, sure everyone says that but there a lot of them were more... confident, involved in what they have chosen. Three of them were sure about that: two men and one woman. I can see in their eyes they want vengeance, they want to fight. I think I will talk to them later.

"Very well. I will come later and see what I can do. For now, do what you want to do." After I say that, I return to my room who improved as well: a good bed, furniture, a table with a holoprojector, an armor stand. Well, I have a good room, in front of it here are two rooms, one for meditation and one for training. On the left, there is a room where I do some experiments or files for new weapons when I have sometimes. All the wing was my wing, all my guards have a room before it. I decided it was time to talk with the three I have seen earlier. I call two guards.

"What do you need Mandalore?"

"Go find me three people from the group before the medical bay. Two guys and one girl: the first guy has green eyes and brown hair, the second has also brown eyes and red hair, and the girl has blue eyes and blond hair. The three of them are together usually, bring them to me."

"Yes, Mandalore." They left the room and I was alone and think about all the things I can do now. Like I think earlier, I can teach them the Imperial and First-order cultures even if the two of them are similar. In second thought it can be cool, I always dream about it and have my own imperial and first-order troops. After sometimes, something I didn't expect happened.

"I can see you are doing great my friend."

"What the f-"

"I agree with my opposite, you are doing great in your task." Okay, now I really don't understand, why is the Light and Dark side talking to me. I have gone crazy?

"Don't worry my friend, you are not crazy for now." Wait, you can read my mind?

"Well, you can use the Force to see in the mind of someone when you're in an interrogation, so yes, we can do that." But, why now? "We think it was the time to finally show ourselves even I already do that. Now I talk about that I want to apologize for what I did in the past. As your theory said, I wanted to prove I have a reason to exist ." Why did you apologize? The Dark Side is not the one who apologizes. "Well, you have given me the reason to exist: you have a lot of powers, you use your anger sometimes, so you make me exist in a way." I see, excuse accepted but I need to know: why you don't fight between the two of you? Are you not rivals or something like that? (little reference) "It's true sometimes our opinions on how we need to do things are different but we don't fight. It's just a philosophy or a point of view who say theLight and Dark side conflict, in reality, we just let a Force user to chose his path, it's just sometimes we use vision or something like that to help them to join us". And what about me? "You are a rare case if I can say that. It's not every day you see a Force user who is like a Gray Jedi plus a Mandalorian." What? "What we try to say is that you are the only Force user for now and you successfully become a Gray Jedi or more like a Gray Mandalorian. And thanks to that, my opposite and I are bound with you and we are not trying to make you join one of us." Bound to me? "Since you are the only Force user, for now, we can only give power to you. And we know about your past and Discord since we use memory sometimes to make someone join one of the sides, it's me who uses the past a lot to make sure a user joins me." What if there is another Force user? "We will be always bound to you because you are the most powerful and the only Force user for now. If there is another Force user we can't talk to him. Why? You can talk to me. "You have a special bond with the Force. I think it's Discord who gave you this special bond but I will not lie, it's easier to talk to you than vision." I think Discord has not given me this bond, I think he much more helps me to have it. "I can see you have good intelligence and reflection. To answer, what you said is right, what makes you have this bond with us is more all the training you have made and all the meditation, Discord maybe helped you but you're the one who has to do this". I see. "I think someone arrives. We will talk later." "If you want to know anything or just want to talk, call us, and we will saw everything you thought, we are in your mind after all."

After that, the two of them 'go back' in my mind and the door opens to reveal the guards with the three humans I wanted to see.

"Thank you, guards. You are dismissed." They saluted me and go back to their position. I walk toward the table and sat on a chair.

"Please, take a sit." They all come toward the table, take a chair, and sit on it. "I think you ask yourselves what are you doing here." They all nod. "Well, to be short, I saw the look on your faces when I ask the question if you wanted to die with your liberty or be slaves. What I saw was vengeance and some people who are ready to fight. It's the type of people I need right now." I can see the pride and... happiness on their faces I guess.

"We are proud that you have seen this Emperor." It's really strange. I don't have a kingdom or an empire but they call me Emperor, maybe they not talk about the title but a nickname. Regardless I don't have problems with that.

"I can see this. Anyway, I think you want to join my army. Right?"

"Yes, my lord." (Good. Goooood. Sorry but one of you has placed this meme in a comment.)

"But, we don't want to be like these 'Mandalorians'. Even if we like the warrior way, it's sound stupid sometimes." I think there will be some rivals in the future.

"I can understand, plus I don't want you to become Mandalorians but to be in the other part of my army. I created this right now."

"And what is it?"

"The Imperial Order." They were interest, perfect, I need that so I can finally have my stormtrooper army. (Want to say I will mix the Empire and the First Order in the same thing. This is why I call this the Imperial Order.) "And I want you to be like Aaron, Emma, and Astrid: the ones who will lead a team. For this, I will train you in the way I need to train you." (The imperial way if you want to know. But I think you know.)

"It will be an honor, sir."

"Alright then. Meet me in the training room in 10 minutes." They nod and go out to prepare themselves.

15 minutes later,Training room, Mike POV.

Since the Imperial and Mandalorian training is different, it was a little hard to train them but with time it comes easier. I make sure do make 'droids' to make sure they can train without difficulty with the blasters. The three of them were good, good communication, good strategies. Well, I think it's time to train them with melee. Not with a Beskad, this is for the Mandalorians plus we will do this with our fists, and after that, we will train with the electric staff the First Order stormtroopers can use sometimes. And man, it was hard to win against them. They always have good strategies: one time all of them attack me at the same time or something like that. I don't use the Force because I will win without challenge, plus I can improve my skills so it's a win-win. To tell you about the electric staff, it's just crystals who 'launch' their energy to the one in front of them so it makes all the little 'lightning bolts' you can see when it's activated. The Z6 riot control baton.

After some hours, we finally put an end to the training. I was very impressed by the capacities the three of them have. The name of the one with brown hair was Jason, the one with red hair was Connor, the girl's name was Sophia. I make sure each one of them has good armor and weapons. Sophia has an armor-like Captain Phasma armor with the cape, Jason has a black Imperial stormtrooper armor with a red epaulet (like shadow trooper without the invisibility because they don't have it for now.), and Connor has a Sovereign Protector armor with the unknown blaster (on the image). The two others have an E-11 version of their respective factions. (these armors are not made with plastic but with the same ore who is use for the Mandalorians armors.)

I decided to go to the hangar where the AT-ST prototype is assembled. When I enter it, I saw all the engineers work hard to assemble all the parts of the walker. Before they assemble the 'head', they make sure to up all the electronic and command stuff in it. After sometimes, they finally finished assembling it. After that, two-person goes into it and begin the test. The walker didn't fall when it walks which is good, the weapons were functional, it just needs more things to make it more maneuverable. I was happy the walker works, I ask the pilots when they started to learn how a walker works, they tell me the blacksmiths give them the files with all the information in it. I forget about that. The two of them were siblings, the big sister if I can say that have good leadership capacities, she learns fast how a walker works, her little brother learns fast thanks to her. I can say she will be the one who will train the pilots, plus I will keep her and her brother in this walker. And the AT-ST is the First Order variant, I make sure the two of them have the Imperial combat driver uniform. All the pilots will have this uniform, at least all the ones who will pilot an AT-ST or an AT-DP. We have enough resources to make two of them since an AT-ST is expensive with its shielding and weapons and stuff. The AT-DPs are less expensive so it will be good to make two of them. A little squad of walkers, the dream of all kids. The girl name was Kate and her little brother name was Alex. Since Kate will be the leader of the group of the three walkers and the 5 pilots with her, little brother includes, I make sure she can be recognized: her armor was black with red lines on the chest plate and the helmet up to the helmet's eyes. Like the AT-ST the two AT-DP work perfectly. I return to my room and saw Conor, Sophia, and Jason talk together. When they saw me they start to walk toward me.

"My lord, may we speak with you."

"What is it?"

"We wanted to know... can we have our squads?" I was sure they will ask this question and I already have the answer.

"Of course, why do I train of all the people to be the first stormtrooper? I already think about since the beginning." When I say that even I can't see their face because of the helmet, I'm sure they were happy.

"Thank you, my lord, you will not regret this decision." They go somewhere else and I go back to my room to get some sleep.

2 days later.

Things were interesting. Kate has formed 4 more pilots for the two AT-DP since there are a gunner and a pilot for one AT-DP. Jason has his squad of scout troopers and Imperials stormtroopers, some of them equipped with DLT-19X who is a sniper variant of the heavy blaster: DLT-19 who is also used in his team. Sophia as her squad as well with First Order stormtroopers with the E-11 First Order version and their heavy blasters of the First order as well. Connor decided to make something similar to Shaun: an elite and guard squad with Sith troopers which is cool. But all of this makes a rivalry between the groups: Emma's and Jason's groups are rivals, Sophia's and Aaron's groups are rivals, Connor's and Shaun's groups are rivals, and Kate's and Astrid's groups are rivals because these two groups are the heavy teams of their faction. I will not lie, I think it's a good thing because it will make sure every soldier in one group will always try to be better than the soldiers of the rival group, so they will more train and make more good thing I think. And like the White Watchers, the group of Connor or like he calls it the Red Guard was always with me, not when I want to be alone or when I'm in my room. Security level for myself check, a little joke I thought.

I was in my room talking with the two sides of the Force about the Princesses' dark parts.

So, you tell me that one of them is like a spirit who wait to have a new body and the other one is in a sort of jail somewhere in Equestria? "Yes, plus Nightmare Moon has a cult, and Daybreaker have some fanatics but they have not formed a cult." Well, this is interesting. "I don't want to interrupt but your orb makes a green light thing." I look toward the orb and it makes a green light indeed.

"I think we will discuss about Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker later. For now, I have friends who need to talk to me." I touch the orb and it makes like last time a green circle. I saw the three queens who talk about something and saw I respond to their call so they focused on me.

"Mike, it's a pleasure to see you again. Sorry if you don't have news about us but we have a little problem here."

"What kind of problem?"

"It's about the two last hives who are not in the Confederation."

"I'm listening."

"We have reports who talk about an alliance between these hives, so their military it's pretty big, well ours is pretty big as well with advanced technology but they will want a fight if we want the hives to join us. Plus the queens are very good at strategies and calculating."

"What about their hives? The protections for example."

"They have at least 8000 soldiers. Now our army has 4000 and you have 300 soldiers or something like that."

"500, since we have done some convoys or town attacks."

"We still outnumbered by them plus they have good fortifications so we will lose a lot of changelings."

"I maybe have the solution for that." They have a look of interrogation on their face.

"Pray tell what is this solution?"

"What about we join you on the field close to the hives? We can talk about this when we will be here." They nod and the communication ended. I go toward the war and demand every squad leader come in the same room. After some minutes they arrived.

"Thank you for coming, it's urgent. I have talked with the changeling's queens and they tell me they have found the two last hives. The problem is that the two hives have made an alliance and have a good army: 8000 soldiers versus our 500 soldiers and the 4000 soldiers of our allies army. The two queens are good strategists and calculating, and they have good fortifications. This is where we enter in this battle. We will attack with our forces and see what the Imperial Order can do, plus we will have a good test for our three little walkers. Kate prepare your pilots and make sure they are ready, Shaun and Connor take your squads, the other takes your squads as well but make sure some of your soldiers keep the base. I prefer Mandalorians to keep the base since I want to see all the Imperial Order in action." They all nod and go to prepare all their respective squads. I go outside the cave and wait for them. They arrived some minutes later, and I go before the hangar ramp who make sure the walkers can come out easier. I saw the AT-ST and the two AT-DP coming out of the hangar, I was proud of myself in a way, it's me who makes the files to build them. Since Kate was the group leader of the pilots of the three walkers, she was in the AT-ST. She customizes it with black painting and the 'windows' or the 'eyes' of the cockpit were red since I make sure we put glass on it. Why? For protection, it will make sure if the ponies or something attacks the pilots, the glass will protect them for a little time. The other walkers were like the AT-ST: black and the 'window' of the cockpit red. The AT-ST was a little bigger than the AT-DPs, I turn around and look at the squads who wait for the orders. Chrysalis tell me the hives were at the north of Vesalipolis so I guess a little trip is needed.

"Okay, we go now. Kate makes sure you and the others are behind the squads."

"Yes, Emperor." After that, we start to go toward the north. The leaders were with me at the front of the column formed by the soldiers, Mandalorians at the left, Imperials at the right, and walkers behind it.

5 days later, Chrysalis POV.

Well, it was not in the plan. We waited for Mike and his troops to arrive but since we are close to the hives, they try to attack us with hundreds of troops, the minimum of their army was 8000 soldiers but maybe they are much more. Even if Miasma and I have the biggest hives, we have not all our changelings in the army. The attacks were all stopped by our army and without death on our side since we attack at a long-range. We were at a voice range with the queens and after sometimes they appeared.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here? Queen Chrysalis, Queen Miasma, and Queen Ambrosia. What a surprise, and here is the question. What are you doing here?"

"We wanted to ask you if you want to join our Confederation but I think it will be a 'no'."

"You're right. I don't want to be with any of you. I'm with Myxine because our hives have good relations but you. We are not good friends. Plus we outnumbered you, even with your new weapons you will not pass our fortifications." She was right, these fortifications will kill a lot of our changelings if we charge at them. This is a dead-end. We can't do anything.

"Are you sure about that?" We all turn to where the voice belongs. I was a little happy to see Mike here.

"And what in my hive name are you?"

"I'm human."

"Prove it." He takes his helmet off to let the two queens see his face. They were a little shocked, it's not every day you found a human-like him.

"And why did you question our fortifications? Don't tell me you are with these three here."

"Oh yes, I am. Plus I have the solution about your little fortifications."

"Well, if you're so confident, let us see it."

"If you want this." He replaces his helmet on his head and says something through his communicator. After that, something product a sound, it was like it walks and was big. I and all the queens look at the forest behind us to see three bipedal creatures walking toward us.

"Kate open fire." After he says that, the three creatures open fire on the fortifications and destroy every last one of them. Myxine and Calliphora, the two other queens, were petrified and scared of the creatures Mike take with him. After that, Mike's army goes out of the forest and start shooting at the two hives. I look at Miasma and Ambrosia and I can see a determined look on their faces.

"Changelings attack!!" After I say the order, all our army help Mike's army.

At the same time, Mike POV.

The battle was the first big battle we have and where we risk losing some soldiers. The walkers were doing a great job, the Imperial Order forces were really good. The Confederation army was doing a great job too. I try to find the two queens in this battle. I finally found them and start to attack them. I use the Force to make lightning bolts fall from the sky but they dodge it. They turn to me and start to fight me. I take my Beskad because I don't want to kill them. The fight was hard but after sometimes I had an opportunity to win. One of them tries to charge at me so I use the Force to push her on the other one. After that, I charge and hurt the one who was still standing, she screams in pain, and it makes all the changelings look at me, they try to charge at me.

"Attack me and they die." When I say that they all stop what they were doing. The battle stop and I look to the queens.

"Who... who are you?"

"I'm Mandalore. Liberator of humanity, friend, and ally of the changelings."

"Why do you help them?"

"Because I made a promise to Chrysalis to unite her people under one banner."

"So, she can control us?!"

"No" I turn to see Ambrosia and Miasma.

"I thought the same thing but Chrysalis didn't try to control me. She let me control my hive like before. Plus, Mandalore makes the promise that any queen will control the others. And when I join, everything changed: we have better technology, we don't have to hide anymore. I f we are united like before, we can become a great nation and make sure the ponies don't try to chase us anymore." I can see the hesitant look on their face.

"I know it not every day someone asks you that, but think about it, you will be more powerful, you still control your hive, you make decisions together and you have a great ally with you. If you do that, you can make your species respected and make sure to make the ponies who attack you pay for what they have done." For the future 5 minutes, the two of them talk about the proposition. Finally, they turn to face us.

"Queen Myxine and I have made our decision. I, Queen Calliphora of the Nekropolis hive, agree with your proposition, and make my hive join your Confederation."

"I, Queen Myxine of the Hagfish hive, agree as well to your proposition and make my hive join your Confederation as well."

After they say that, all the Confederation army cheer and were joined by the changelings of the two hives. My army cheer as well. I decided to make a little speech. All my guards were around the rock.

"My friends! Today is a great day! Today is the unification of all the changeling's hives under one banner! Today will be known as 'The Rise of the Changeling Confederation'! All of them cheer and we make sure everyone dead was buried and make sure everyone follow us to Vesalipolis. Today is a great day.

Author's Note

I finally finished. I tried to integrate another faction like you can see so tell me if it's good. Also, I make the Light and the Dark side more present. You can see I make Mike talk about Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker. I change a little the events: Daybreaker appeared a long time ago, some times after Luna banishment, Celestia's darkness has grown and make Daybreaker earlier but she sealed her away somewhere in Equestria and never talk about her. It's her secret. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
