Far from the Crystal Kingdom, two alicorn princesses felt a pulse of magic that had only been felt a millennia ago. They called upon the youngest princess, her bitc-husband, a small dragon, and the current Elements of Harmony. They directed the small group along with a squadron of guards to the area where the Crystal Kingdom now rested although they did not know this fact and only had a hunch that something was there. As the group left for their trip the two princesses merged their magical power in order to search the minds of those that could possess such an amount of power. They found one.

========================================================================

I slowly opened my eyes to the sight of Dart poking me.

“Oh good you’re not dead it’s been a few weeks luckily the elders, the guards, ang Chrysalis stepped up to take over after it was decided the Changelings would stay,” she said and walked out of the room. “I’ll let you get dressed. We took the liberty of measuring you in your sleep. The magic pulse you let off after making the wall torched your previous clothes but don’t worry we made something we think you’ll like,” she said before dropping some papers on a table and hurrying out of my room leaving me to catch up mentally.

“Wait they checked me out in my sleep...fuckin pervs,” I muttered as I stood luckily in underwear that unfortunately was different than the underwear i wore before I passed out. I decided to forget about it for now and began to get dressed in my new clothing that to a normal human would undoubtedly be extremely heavy but due to my enhancements I was able to easily support the armor which was layered atop the clothing. As I dressed I found runic inscriptions woven into the fabric which I believed would regulate my temperature among other unknown things. Oddly the armor also coated my robotic limbs but I didn’t complain as they had worked hard on the armor. They even managed to incorporate the remnants of the dire wolf fur on the shoulders along with a balaclava that was also covered by a hood that could be replaced by the helmet that sat next to the pile of papers on the table. I then turned to the pile of papers and began leafing through them quickly realizing I couldn’t read any of this shit.

“Well fuck,” I said to myself and pulled on my balaclava and pulled up my hood before picking up the helmet with my right hand and the papers in my left. I then left for the throne room my leather-clad feet no longer clanking on the crystal floor but instead thudding softly. I opened the doors to my throne room and saw in the center of the room a table which the council sat. “Hey, where the fuck’s Dart at?” I asked still in a slight daze.

“Jekyll you’re alive!” shouted the guard captain who immediately shrunk in his chair at the stares he received.

“Yes I survived my unfortunate magical accident,” I said as I walked towards my throne. “Also once again I ask where is Dart or someone who can read I can’t read your language. It is too different from my own.”

“You can’t read?” said an elder earth pony.

“No I can’t read your language but I can read my own there is a difference,” I said slowly as I sat upon my throne which detached itself from the ground and floated down to the council’s table.

“Show us your language, let's see if we recognize it,” said Chrysalis who was with the council or part of the council I didn’t quite know.

“Fine,” I said before writing down the words “How are the people” on the paper with the ink quill they had on the table.

“Jekyll I know the language of the great apes quite well,” she explained. “And they are doing well.”

“So there are other species that use this language as well?” I asked.

“Not the spoken language but written language and from what I can tell it is the same I will try translating later.”

“Thanks,” I said before turning to the rest of them. “Any new news?”

“The runesmiths in the workshop finished their project for you, they also made some weapons and armor, nothing too advanced but still tough, the first of the food has been harvested earlier than thought, and there is a magical anomaly slowly making its way towards the kingdom,” said a pegasus.

“Boost the defenses and tell the runesmiths to start making some long-range weaponry,” I told the unicorn before turning to Chrysalis. “Chrysalis I need your people to dig some new underground magic farms unless I have misunderstood your people’s capabilities and you don’t dig,” I said.

“Second only to diamond dogs,” she replied before leaving with the elder earth pony who had been in charge of the food.

“Captain boost the defenses and make sure any Changelings on our side are camouflaged so that we don’t give our guests a bad impression,” I told the captain who left quickly.

“You go to the current habitats and organize harvesting,” I pointed at the pegasus. “And you take me to Stone,” I told him as we left for the workshop.

========================================================================

She could finally see the crystal spire that peaked over the hills surrounded by walls of grey crystal...wait walls of grey crystal there was nothing in the history books about those thought Princess Cadence third Princess of Equestria.

“Come on I can see it!” I yelled to the group of guards, the Elements, and my wif-husband. “It’s beautiful.”

Prince(ss) Armor finally caught up with his wife who stood atop a large hill of snow looking out at the Crystal Empire. Prince(ss) Armor then wiped his brow before following his wife down the hill. Many would assume that he would be the most athletic of ponies due to being both Captain of the guard and a Prince(ss) of Equestria. He wasn’t known for his muscles or toughness but he was known for one part of his body which many stallions enjoyed before they saw his face and learned he was also a stallion.

“Wait up Cadence I gotta slow down,” he shouted after his wife before making a small sound that even the element of kindness would be ashamed of as he was magically lifted into the air. “Eep!”

“Honestly why is he the Captain again?” asked a guard.

“Because Stone Hoof got quite a lot of attention from Armor,” the other said before the left earshot of the third princess (not Armor).

“I give you the Crystal Empire!” shouted the element of magic also known as Twilight Sparkle or Armor’s sister. “What the buck happened here?” she asked nopony as she looked at the destroyed landscape that surrounded the large walls.

“I don’t know, maybe the inhabitants can tell us,” said the princess of love.

========================================================================

I looked upon the magnificent creation before me and patted Stone on the shoulder. The Xenomorph was larger than the specifications I had given, possessed an alligator-like head, a shield-like frill, and sported six tubes on its back instead of four but otherwise was the same as the descriptions I had given the design team.

“It is a magnificent Stone!” I shouted as they put the finishing touches on it and on me. “Are you sure this is the best way to do this?” I asked as the unicorns attached a mental connector system to my skull which would create a hivemind like link between me and any golem created.

“Perfectly safe...well 75% safe I’ve never worked on a being such as yourself but you resemble the great apes from the olden days and I encountered a few of them so eh,” he said dragging out the word eh with a shrug.

“What do you mean eh?” I asked.

“All done, try and connect to the Xeno,” he said abruptly, changing the conversation.

I began focusing on mental energy like had been explained to me for the past hour. I attempted to activate the runes which once active would quickly power up and be easier to control.

‘Awaken my Swarmlord and serve your king!’ I called out into my mind and felt a pull on my consciousness.

‘My King...I await your commands,’ said a hissing voice that sounded like a demonic snake mixed with a wood shredder. Outside of my mind in reality I heard a monstrous shriek and felt the ground rumble as my fifteen-foot monster jolted to life pulling on the nearly limitless power of a soul. I then opened my eyes to see the thirty-foot long monster five of those feet being its long mouth which was filled with serrated teeth. ‘I sense a new presence approaching it challenges you, my king. Shall we go approach it?’ asked the Xeno in my head.

‘Yes let us go,’ I mentally told it and hopped upon its back as the creature charged at the wall which split apart as m crystal manipulation shoved stone aside.

“Gather the troops enemies are coming!” I shouted behind me before shifting the wall back into place.

========================================================================

Twilight Sparkle had come with her sist-brother and his wife to free the Crystal Empire from Sombra’s control but unfortunately, it seemed sompony else had gotten here first.

“What do you mean we can’t come in till your king says so?”

“What do you think I mean?” the pegasus asked.

“And if we fly over?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“We’ll shoot ya out of the sky with magic and crossbows before guttin ya when ya hit the dirt!” yelled the guardspony.

“We’re all civil ponies there is no reason to get so unruly,” stated my friend the element of generosity Rarity.

“You mean people, not ponies. Ponies are xenophobic here cause there’s more than one race that lives in the Crystal Kingdom!” he shouted.

“You mean the Crystal Empire,” I argued before a new voice joined.

“No, it's called the Crystal Kingdom now. What do you want with my kingdom?”
