Only a day had passed since my meeting with the Ss'ket's royalty, now I stood within the command bridge of the former Zetan Mothership with the rulers of several kingdoms. "This starship will be our ace, our hammer with which we may smash the Zetans like the pests they are." I got several nods, Razorclaw looking angry as everyone else. "I have also decided, for those without plasma weaponry I will be sharing automatic plasma rifles with you, this is because the Zetans primarily use them and as Equestria has shown, they are violently effective." Several eyes widened at this, I had never so blatantly given away technology without care.

Grabbing the blueprints from my inventory I tossed a copy to each ruler. "The Plasma Cartridge, still widely used, is not the same as the one seen in that design, that one uses Helium to produce the plasma, mine use Liquid Hydrogen, Equestria has no shortage of Helium however so it's plentiful enough for you all to get for cheap." I held up an old classic Automatic Plasma rifle. "This is a classic plasma rifle, fully automatic fire with a reflex sight, it's electronics are primitive compared to what you all can produce now but despite this it is a rugged and reliable weapon that can withstand wear and tear for decades without needing full repairs done." I took aim and fired at a Zetan shaped target, melting large holes into it with neon green plasma bolts. "Alternatively Equestria can design a way to use their current Arcane Energy Cells, or AEC's to function for these, or just amp up production of their own energy rifles for you all, however I have millions of these older models stockpiled for a rainy day, and that day has arrived."

General Secretary Vadik spoke. "We will take what is offered, we shall not complain as your generosity helps us and those of Equis, may the Dialectic prevail against these vermin." I chuckled at that, this guy never failed to amuse me, this worlds Starlight Glimmer actually got along well with this dude from what I was able to learn.

Queen Carnelia grinned, the two guards at her sides wearing what looked like Wolfenstein German infantry armor, gas masks helmets and all. "I am also going to share the plans for our Arcane warheads with all present, aside from Lorenzo for his empire has weapons much worse than that, they are rather simple devices." She snapped a finger and one guard saluted, arm out rigid before doing as commanded, handing blueprints slowly to each ruler like a person giving a dying man water.

I didn't need to give these to Equestria, they had millions of their own magical plasma rifles that could fire full automatic too, more accurate than the classic plasma rifles I was handing out too because they where copies of Zetan weapons but using magic for the energy source. Equestria had already shared it's magical deathray technology with others, as well as the energy shields technology, arcane reactors, all of it. Rebuilding efforts where massive for them and I had sent millions of construction units to rebuild around the clock.

Princess Celestia's face remained cold, she looked out through the large bridge into the expanse of space, watching the solar system. She could feel the planets as they made their orbits, she and Luna constantly had to alter them to remain stable, for now the spell she had set to do it for them would do, it could last several thousands of years since it was tied directly to her sun for the raw arcane power needed to power such a vast spell. Her eyes narrowed on a specific far off star within the void. They would pay utterly. Not now, perhaps not soon, but she was immortal, she had all the time in the universe to avenge her little ponies. And she was nothing if not patient. Then she felt the Magic of Music begin flowing through her as her eyes turned into bright crimson flames. "We will topple those who oppose us~ We have lasted thousands of years, and shall last thousands more, for the ponies of Equestria, for the beings of Equis~" The soft sinister voice rang around the command center.

Queen Carnelia gave an evil grin, and I could swear I heard music from the speakers around the room. "We shall crush our enemies into dust~ Left forgotten on the ash heap of history, their deeds atoned for but sins forever staining their name~"

King Steel Horns, ruler of the Minotaur smiled. "Let our hammers fall upon their forces and shatter them like glass~" Razorclaw clamped his beak shut with a small strip of leather, tying it tightly as he looked at me, while Vadik jammed an entire apple into his mouth to prevent himself from being influenced by the Magic of Song.

That's when they looked at me, and I deadpanned but went along with it. "I see a figure in the corner~ I see a shadow on the wall~ I see an Old World order Balanced on the brink In a blink it’ll fall~ I see the close an empire~ The balance of power, Is a delicate thing~ But cometh the hour, Cometh the King~ Here at the summit~ The pendulum swings, and your demise draws near~" Celestia's eyes met mine, and hers died down from raging infernos to her normal magenta pink. We both smiled sinisterly.
-----------------------------------Crystal Empire Deathclaw Colony---------------------

Romilae looked through her spyglass at the tower and those around it, she had been ordered to make contact and was awaiting the correct opportunity too do so. She deemed now to be the correct time, that was until fireworks began to go off. This shocked her, fireworks where only used after the defeat of an enemy and the capturing of populations, so who had these strange beings won a battle against? The colors danced in the sky like an artist painting on their canvas, blue white and purple twirled and danced between one another with such rapid fire that it made her jaw drop with awe at the pure beauty of the sight. It took a few moments for her to refocus her spyglass on the large beings below. They would tower over her up close, she knew that.

Several seemed to be drinking, dancing and doing various other activities while ones covered completely in armor that had glowing energy surrounding their heads glowing a dark red hue stood still as stone to seemingly guard this strange exotic palace. Must be their elite troops. The fireworks however had the effect of making her Lilliger stamp its large hooves while it hissed. She had to give it a few Zak leaves to calm it. Looking back she realized it was now or never and hopped onto the back of her Lilliger taking the reigns in her hands. With a kick to the side the creature burst forward.

Within an instant dancing stopped and weapons where aimed at her, she in return aimed her matchlock. Which was a bit hard to do from the back of a Lilliger but she made do. For some reason this only served to amuse the monsters, some of which began to audibly laugh. Carefully she lowered her weapon. "I am Scout Romilae from the Tar'oin Empire, here by orders of Empress Vodain to make contact with your Empress and speak to the Female in charge here to invite them to the Grand Imperial City of Ugmal to the Royal Palace." She dismounted from her beast.

One of the beasts looked to another, before pressing some sort of little round circle on it's wrist, she didn't know what that would do. Then stomping was heard. A creature completely clad in armor of black iron and eyes that looked like the fires of the damned stomped over, even taller than the horned monsters that served it, this was truly a demon of great power. It stopped next to the one who had pressed the button. "What did you want, Dave. I was busy slaughtering a local predator." It's voice was worse, as if stones where being crushed within it's very throat as it spoke. The most confusing part however was the voice was clearly male, surely these beings while strange wouldn't put a male in charge.

Dave looked over at Frank Horrigan and saluted. "Sir, this is apparently a local of the world and is demanding the person in charge of the base, apparently to invite them to meet with their Empress."

The being, named 'Frank Horrigan' looked down at her, towering over her menacingly just by standing there. "Is that so, Mutie? Fine then, I'll summon the Emperor, stay there or I'll gut you." To emphasize that a blade glowing bright green extended from the beings left wrist, Romilae's eyes widened in horror and fear, the heat coming from the weapon was so intense she was sure it could have been used to cook her, let alone cut her. The other arm of the creature tapped the side of its massive helmet, and then without warning a bright flash of blue light with the sound of lightning rang out, blinding her and causing the scout to fall backwards onto her ass as she brought her matchlock to bear and fired blindly. When she opened her eyes she saw a smaller being standing there that looked not unlike a Manuka, with a bloody hole in it's throat while It looked down at the hole with a bored expression as it poured a fountain of off color blood. Dark crimson rather than the proper blue. It's body then fell forwards lifeless.

----------------------Lorenzo's Point of View--------------------

I looked down at the bloody gaping hole in my throat with a very bored expression on my face. That was until my body fell forwards and expired leaving me to respawn, thankfully ridding my suit of the blood. The one who shot me looked absolutely terrified and I raised an eyebrow. "First, shoot me again and Frank here will have fun removing your skeleton from your body piece by piece, secondly what do you want?"

Her, for it was most definitely a female, shouted. "A male ruler!? Has the world gone mad?!" She quickly got to her feet, and Frank stepped forward with his arm raised, blade ready to strike. I held my hand up and he stopped within an instant, retracting the energy blade back into his armor and awaiting a command.

Turning my eyes to look at Frank without moving my head I spoke. "Cease hostilities, go back to your duties, I will deal with the locals myself, If I have need of your services have no doubt I shall call for you." Frank saluted and began to walk away, anger clear in his steps. Looking back at the....orc, for lack of a better word, I put some sunglasses on. It's skin was dark golden in color not unlike a gold bar, eyes bright purple while the only hair I was able to see on it's head was black, two small tusks poking out from it's bottom jaw, she was also about a foot taller than me, and I was an even Six feet. "What did you want? Yes, I am male, get over it."

She seemed, very nervous, but visibly steeled herself and spoke. "I am Scout Romilae from the Tar'oin Empire, here by orders of Empress Vodain to make contact with the ruler of this Palace, and invite them to meet her Royal Majesty."

Smirking I said. "This isn't a palace, it's a mere command tower, regardless I will accept this invitation. Allow me to change into something more fitting and we shall be on our way." I began fiddling with my pipboy, which seemed to confuse Romilae, before with a small pop I was wearing my Alicorn Armor, fiery wings folded behind my back. The perks of game logic and inventories. "Where too?"

Picking her jaw off of the ground she pointed north. "The capital lies in that direction, my Lilliger will get us there quickly." She patted the back of what looked like an odd combination of a horse and a lizard.

I shook my head. "That will not do, I shall fly us there myself, your animal will be taken care of while we are away and can be delivered after a small period of time."

Romilae became confused at this, and spoke in a way that made it very clear. "Only birds can fly, you do realize this correct?" In response I flared the wings extending from the back of my armor, and her eyes widened. Before she could protest I had already lifted off hooking my arms under her own and hefting her up before heading in the direction of their capital. It only seemed to be seven miles away, I was going to beat whoever set this location for a command tower without actually fucking scouting the planet for civilizations.

------------------------------------Empress Vodain's POV--------------------

She was sat upon her throne again, awaiting for the return of her scout with the Empress whom controlled the beasts to the south that had been sketched and shown to her, before a guard rushed into the room. "My Empress! A strange being carrying a person has been seen flying on wings of pure flame! It's headed directly for the palace!" The two guards by her throne checked their matchlocks to prepare for a fight.

Before the Empress could issue any sort of order the being in question flew into the throne room, slamming through one of the ornate glass windows that allowed the light from the twin suns to flood the throne room. Dropping her Scout onto her ass and landing gracefully. Wing's of flame flared before they folded on it's back. No not it's, the chest was flat and was smaller than her scout, it had to be a male even if the skin color was completely wrong as well as the lack of tusks poking from his mouth. The crown it wore however left no guess as to what position it held wherever it had come from, likely the odd palace she had ordered the scout to contact, she was almost hypnotized by the odd gem within the center of the crown, looking like a vast array of swirling stars somehow continuously moving and spinning.

Before she could react to any of that however her royal guards in their ornate gold plated armor raised their matchlocks, and before she could even hope to give the order to stop they fired. Clouds of smoke erupting from the barrels as they fired. Being so close to their target where was no hope they'd miss, and she watched two holes burst from the new being. One from his forehead as it exploded outwards and one from his throat which ceased to exist. Red splattered her royal robes and she screamed in pure horror. The screaming abruptly went silent as somehow, the body faded from existence and stood up again as if it hadn't fallen in death. Empress Vodain watched with horrified fascination as the male turned on his heels and flared those glowing wings, pulling out some sort of oddly compact looking device, before aiming at one of the guards whom had shot him and fired. A bolt of energy that looked not unlike lightning struck the poor guard woman, and wearing metal armor had the effect of adding to the electrocution before she fell to the floor, smoking.

Turning to the other one, the male spoke. "Fuck off, next time I'll use lethal force. I may not be able to die but FUCK YOU it fucking hurts you CUNT!" His metal boot kicked her guard in the ribs, before it bent down and stabbed her with some sort of odd device. Normally she'd take offense to seeing one of her royal guards abused like that, but she had witnessed this man die, then come back as if nothing happened. She had no idea how to react to the situation before her.

------------------------------------------------Lorenzo's POV-------------------------------

I glared down at the cunt who had just shot me, stabbing her with a stimpack. I was so fucking done with today, shot not once but three times in less than 24 hours, shit fucking hurts. The other one had wisely backed the fuck off when I shot this one with my Telsa Pistol. She was so lucky I had set it to stun, rather than fry. Looking back up to this 'Empress Vodain' as Romilae had informed me she was called, I smiled. She had also told me their species name, Manuka. Which sounded familiar for some reason so I'd have to search the Empires internet for it. "Sorry about that, what was it you wanted to discuss?" To be honest I was a little concerned that a colony had been set up on a world with sentients, that was something that shouldn't have been allowed to happen.

The Empress was just staring at me with an awestruck look on her face, before I realized why. I had respawned in front of a primitive without thinking, since I could more often than not control where I respawned with pre-set points I could quicksave at just like in game. And almost facepalmed. However she spoke up after a short while. "Could you tell me...how you managed to evade Avae's grasp? None have done so before."

"Avae? I'm sorry but I don't know who or what that is." I said, raising an eyebrow.

Now she looked at me as if I had several heads, or something like that. "Avae, the Goddess of Death, all who fall go with her to the Sea of Souls for an eternal afterlife."

Ah, that made sense now. "I am immortal, I am unable to die as you have just seen." May as well go all out, however as I was about to go on and ask some questions a few more guards rushed into the room aiming their primitive weapons. Before they could fire I tossed down a small device that produced an energy shield in the shape of a wall, which took the round balls of lead easily. "You fucking morons could have just killed your Empress if I hadn't done that." This made them look mortified. With how inaccurate I was willing to bet those weapons where, it was a real possibility that they'd hit both me, AND their Empress, and unlike me she couldn't respawn.

The royal guards in golden armor aimed their weapons at the ones who had burst in, and fired without any sort of warning. The Empress didn't stop them as they fired and I was lead away into some sort of odd room that held a steaming swimming pool. "What is this exactly?"

The Empress rolled her eyes and shooed her servants away who tried to approach with what smelled like soaps, and looked like washcloths. "This is a room where none shall disturb us, anyone who dares to try will have to break through doors made of solid iron with a locked latch. I have several questions to ask you regarding what and who you are exactly."

I sighed, this was going to be a long process just like it was with the Ren, at least this time I didn't have to explain what Fire or Metal was. "Alright so how much do you know about this planet? What shape do you think it is?"

Empress Vodain looked at me like I was a moron. "Why, it's a flat disk of course."

Oh God Damn It. I sighed and tapped my pipboy causing a clear image of the world we where on to spring into existence, this startled her and she jumped back some. I often left the blue filter on the holos because I liked the way it made them look, this time I had it turned off leaving a clear unaltered view of their world. "This is your world, it is in fact not flat, but a sphere like a ball."

Her eyes widened as large as possible, which almost looked creepy. "How is it your able to do such wonderous things?"

I smirked. "My technology is beyond your current understanding. The point being I own this planet and the solar system it's in, this planet is an outpost for my Empire."

Empress Vodain's eyes widened again. "You're laying claim to all of Leva?" Huh, that must be their name for the world.

Nodding in confirmation I went on. "Don't worry, it's not like I'll be booting you guys off the planet, but territory claimed by my Empire is absolute and shall not be contested."

The Empress's eyes narrowed. "Now hold on a brotherfucking minute!"

Holding up a hand I interrupted her. "To be frank, I don't have too. You hold no advantages here, you may have primitive muskets and cannons but my Empire fields automatic energy weapons, missiles, bombs and aircraft that could take you out from high orbit with the precision of a butcher slicing meat to sell." Looking at my pipboy I grinned as an idea popped into my head. "Why don't I just show you?"

"What do you mean?" The Empress asked.

"I'll take you to the capital of my Empire so you can see it for yourself how much larger we are than your own, and how much more advanced we are."

She seemed to ponder it for a few moments, before calling out to one of her servants in the room. "Inform the High Priest she is to be in command while I am away on a diplomatic visit." The servant bowed deeply and scurried off to do as ordered by her monarch.

"Alrighty," I said tapping away at my pipboy. "Your gonna want to grab my shoulder or something, otherwise the molecular relay won't register you and leave you behind here."

She grabbed my shoulder, with her confusion clear. Before I activated the relay and we stood no longer in what seemed to be her private bath but my Throne Room, and she was sprawled out on her ass while her eyes pulled a Derpy and spun around in their sockets. That's when she passed out going limp. "Fuck."

Moon looked down from her throne, their thrones where next to mine and slightly lower on the floor since mine had been modified to do more than just be a fancy looking chair. "Um....do I even want to know?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"That colony I had set up with Deathclaws apparently has sentient species on it, or one at any rate, and I'm going to beat the fuck out of who authorized the colony without actually scanning for sentient lifeforms because their capital city is literally seven fucking miles from the command tower."

Moon laughed. "Hah, whoever did that was a moron for sure, I'll pull up the relevant information later today, is that...thing going to be alright?"

"Believe it or not that's their Empress, it's like your old world apparently with the gender split, seems far worse with these guys though, I didn't see a single male the entire time I was flying over their city, then again I was focused on flying. But I'm assuming because their scout acted as if putting a male in charge was the same as putting a retarded dog on a throne and calling it the king of bacon."

That caused her to snort. "Let me wake her up, it'll be an easy task, their minds are remarkably close to the people I am used to working on." Her horn lit up a dark purple color, before a small beam struck Vodain's skull. Her eyes shot open and she herself shot into sitting position with a gasp.

-------------------------------------------Earth's Dimension, Lunar Orbit---------------------------------------

A newsfeed was on the televisions of almost anyone on Earth who owned one, showing what looked to be an odd triangle shaped shuttle that had a glowing blue ring around it. "Folks, today is a day for great celebration for this is the first Human made FTL able shuttle ever produced, and our pilot is ready to embark on a journey none have ever done before." The pilot inside the shuttle who had a feed with the news channels waved and smiled. "How do you feel about what your about to do, Pilot Masters?"

Masters, Mitch Masters to be exact gave a cocky grin. "I'm Mitch Motherfucking Masters! This is gonna be one of the greatest accomplishments in human history and my entire life!" That was a lie, while he knew his was the first public shuttle known to launch at Faster Than Light, the military of the UNDF had already beat that a few months ago after the Unity attack. Hell from what he heard they had some sort of military colony on a world where everything was stupidly large.

The Newsman smiled, though Mitch couldn't see it. "We here at CNN are glad to hear it! The whole world is watching, of course we won't be able too once you engage your Fusion Drive, but it'll still be an amazing sight to witness with the satellites pointed at you for visual feed!"

Mitch grinned again, knowing the entire world would be watching him he grabbed the Lever, they could have went with a button but someone on the design team was a hardcore starwars fan, and he pulled it backwards with a solid clunk. Only for nothing to happen, he was about to abort when the blue ring began to spin rapidly, then it began to spark in a way that it wasn't designed to do. Before anyone had known what'd happened the shuttle was launched forwards through space, but half of the ring was left behind shattered in pieces. Presumed dead another launch was scheduled later that month.

Somewhere in deep space however, Mitch's shuttle appeared next to a bright blue and green world. Damaged and with electrical systems failing he put on his emergency space suit, watching as the control panel flickered and the digital readouts finally died as the shuttles computers fried themselves. That's when he noticed the starships headed in his direction and his heart sank. "Oh fuck me...." Some sort of hangar bay doors opened and his shuttle was scooped inside, and several...anthropomorphic birds? Birds of all things? Aimed some sort of rifles at his cockpit. "God Damn it."

Author's Note

Hello all! This was a long one eh? More than normal at any rate. I hope ya liked it, and remember to comment! As for what the description of the ones with red energy around their head meant? Well, robotic deathclaws with an assaultron head that has horns on it XD. Heavy assaultrons pretty much.
