He would look at the both of the guards as they had begun to charge towards him with their spears in hand. Yet it would seem that he wasn't able to prepare accordingly as he had thought, for when he tried to move off to the side. One of them had managed to get a nice kick into his side and knock him flying back. The amount of strength from earth stallions meant that it hit alot harder then the other 2.

"Unicorns with magic are more painful! After all, have you ever been shot by 3 at once multiple times!? Magic isn't something I plan to get used to but a physical battle is far easier!" He would shout as he charged forward, this time the guards tried to duck downwards for an upward strike. This caused him to smile, as he ducked down with a sliding movement, swiping at their feet below! In doing so, he had managed to hit them with enough force to know them onto their backs.

When they began to fall, their spears would fly upward into the air, and pierce into the ground behind Lix as he stared at the both of them. They both seemed to move side to side like a turtle thrown onto its back as he couldn't help but laugh. "They teach you to be strong, durable and technical. Yet they don't teach you that your armor is your own worst enemy if you can't support the weight? I don't think that guarding a gate is your forte!"

The Guards, both glared at him as they spoke up in unison, "We haven't adjusted to the new armor! We will get you next time!" This made him raise a brow, "Oh? So you want to try your hand at me again? But what do you mean new armor? If this armor isn't what you usually wear then that must be because they were pushed onto you last minute." He then took their spears out of the ground and hoisted them up above them. Causing both the mares to freeze up immediately in fear, "Y-you wouldn't dare..."

Lix slowly began to move the spears downward towards their stomaches where the bulk of their armor seemed to be focused. "Oh? You sure you want to test me? Right now, your not even yourselves with that lunatic in the canterlot castle!" He slowly raised the spears causing both the mares to cry out in fear only to hear a loud CLINK! Then silence, as both the guards looked down to see their armor that they wore had been destroyed in one hit! Leaving them in only their clothes beneath, as Lix burst into a fit of laughter. "I figured as much, your more weighed down by the armor and if you wear clothes beneath then your just exhausted!"

The mares just looked at him confused, then stood upright as he hoisted them up. "Why are you helping us? Didn't you intend to destroy Canterlot?"

This alone had shown the influence that his old friend James had. "Great, spreading those lies with the influence of a hypnotic sigil on an amulet? I don't think he realizes that each amulet shown in any series has a limit. Its going to come back and haunt him in the end, look I am not here to destroy canterlot but to save it!"

Looking towards the both of them, he just started walking through the gate as both of them stared in disbelief, "Wai-" Immediately one of the guards stated before being cut off by their friend. "No, if what he says is true then we can trust him. Especially because if he really wanted to destroy Canterlot he would have killed us, or at least shown malice... He never once had bloodlust on him..." Confused at her friend as he walked on into Canterlot, she just looked on. "Well, guess we will find out."

He would smirk to himself, as he begins to start singing as he moved inward to Canterlot. Starting off at a low tone as he would then start getting lost in the song as some guards nearby noticed and began to charge at him. "There's Nothing holding me BACK!" He would jump into the air, as he would come downward onto them. Hoisting their spears up to try to pierce him, he kicked at their spears instead of the ground? Knocking them flying off to the side, as the 4 guards then surrounded him with sword and shield in hand!

"Keep him surrounded, don't let him any further! He is a threat to-" being cut off by a sudden punch to the gut, the stallion was caught by complete surprise that he was so focused on giving orders he didn't think someone would attack before he raised his shield. "Underestimating me a little bit aren't ya?~" He states, as he continues his song, raising his leg up in a roundhouse kick while grabbing his sword and shield turning to the other 3.

The other 3 guards immediately were on alert, as the Stallion laid there unconscious. "Alright, 3 on 1. Lets see if I can get past this!" He laughs a bit, clearly enjoying himself but to them it scared them a bit as they saw a strange pair of fangs... "He is a carnivore!" One yells out, as they charge forward swinging a sword downward, as he would then have a flash to when he played the old Dark souls game. The clash on the shield made him wince, but with a good move he parried the attack, kicking the soldier backwards into the fountain.

The guard began to get up covered in water, as Lix then began to charge towards the other 2 throwing the shield forward towards them to distract them! The shield would hit one in the head full force, and go flying off who knows where. Causing the guard it collided with to fall backwards unconscious with some blood seeping out. With a thud Lix winced, "ooohh... That ones gonna hurt..."

He laughs a bit, as he would see the other 2 guards nodding to each other and attacking in unison, with both swords coming down at once, hitting him when he tried dodging with their shields. Causing his head to fly back a bit, as he felt his nose break. Lix immediately trying to catch himself on his feet as he growls a bit, "Fuck!" He states, as he could feel the blood dripping down his face. His vision a little hazy from the strike, as he charged forward throwing the sword forward.

The guards would deflect the blade, as he would suddenly be in front of them and going for a sweep at their feet! Both going wide eyed as they began to fall backwards only for him to jump upwards and slam his weight down onto their stomaches to slam them into the ground! Causing them both to groan in pain on the ground. Surrounding civilians gasping in surprise and fear, as Lix began to start moving towards the castle once more. Yet in the crowd there was a strange fire like pattern, moving within the crowds and following him. "Wonder who this is... Hes far smaller then them, yet he took advantage of their height and weight to win the fight... Is he going to help free the castle?" She questioned to herself as he moved on, only to grin. "Wonder what he can do before the evening is done."

He would feel his nose broken and grumble to himself as he felt the pain constant throughout his head. "Fuck... So hard to focus with a broken nose... I had no idea it would hurt this much."

A strange green mist began to enshroud Lix unbeknownst to him as he approached Canterlot castle. The 2 guards at the front noticed him and began to charge forward, only for the sound of sirens to begin to permeate the area. "Wait... No way..."

The song began as he grinned, seeing as they stood side by side with him. This caused alot of the surrounding ponies to stare in awe, as the guards began to have a strange look to them as if they were entranced by the song. Running forward past them, as the Sisters began their move! He gave a wave, "Thanks girls!" He yelled out, as the guards all seemed to be entranced of the castle, yet with the glow of a green mist! The ponies that seemed to have been under James influence seem to be snapping out and moving towards the Sirens as he ran forward through the endless halls.

"Gotta make this quick, they won't be able to sing forever! After all, they only barely got started!" He would yell out, as he began to sing that amazing song himself, he always loved that song! But without the mane 6 he started to sing their part of the song as he rushed forward slamming the doors of the throne room open. There before him, he saw James sitting on the throne as both the princesses seem to be wearing nothing but skimpy lingerie.

Lix seeing this immediately began to growl and clench his fists... "This is not the James that I remember... He loved the idea of being dommed not doing the domming... That and he would never enslave people like this or use mind control!" He would shout out, as James immediately began to stand up and hoist his medallion up only to cause Lix to fall to his knees from a sudden pressure. "W-what is this..."

James began to move forward with a laugh, "You really made me think you were dead, man I should have known you would pull some bullshit. Whenever you did DnD, you always gave the main character some loophole to make the game more enjoyable. I remember using a hammer to try to defeat the 3 sephiroth brothers. Such memories right?" He would say reminscing as Lix only tried to stand upright.

"Ah, no going anywhere... If you want the princesses to remain safe you won't move at all." He grinned towards him, as he kicked him down to the ground, picking him up by his head. "Such a shame, but now I can end you with my own hands and claim this world for my own!" Lix would see the medallion was cracked and gathering all his strength in one move he would grab the necklace causing James to immediately grab his wrist. "Let go!"

"This Medallion is the reason isn't it?" He would grin towards him, as James would only be smirking back. "Not quite Lix, you see the medallion only gave me the power to control others minds. Nothing more, what happened from here is all on me because I have power to control everything!" He would burst into a fit of laughter, as Lix felt his grip loosen. Yet, as he felt his vision beginning to slowly fade he heard a familiar voice. "Get up! Don't go down now! We need you!"

James would snap his head back towards the doors, as the mane 6 had appeared but Applejack slowly began to come forward with a broken leg and arm. Seeing this Lix began to feel something in the pit of his stomache as he growled like a beast. "James.... " Looking back towards Lix, James seemed surprise to see he was in fact standing upright despite the pressure!? "How are you standing?!" He stated, as Lix immediately felt a pulse. "Sorry girls, looks like I have to use it one more time!" He looks to the mane 6 and immediately time began to slow to a freeze.

Coughing up quite a bit of blood as the pressure slowed to a stop. He would begin to move forward towards James, as he would raise a fist and slam a punch straight into his cheek. Since he didn't move at all during the time freeze he could tell it was going to have the accumulated effect. Reaching around he snapped the Medallion off his neck as he then began to slam it to the ground and with one swift slam of his foot. Time began to slowly begin again but not before Lix began to pummel James as much as he could, using one of the shards of the Medallion to jam it into his eye.

When time fully began again, James felt all the attacks hit at once as he went flying with a shard of the medallion in his eye only to hit the wall. The sirens slowly came in, as the mane 6 approached Lix and the princesses began to look around completely confused. Yet Lix, he felt himself waning once more. Guards pushing into the throne room, as they rushed towards James only to look at Lix. "He is dead..."

"Good... We don't want people like that around who may hurt others..." He would say, as he slowly began to look over towards the Sirens, then Applejack. Laying there on the ground as the girls rushed over to see if he was alright only to hear him beginning to sing a song, as his vision slowly shrunk into unconsciousness. "You will be okay..."

"Lix! Wake up Lix! Whats going on?! How did he beat James!? How did he get here?" Twilight was in a panic, as the Sisters spoke up moving forward to slowly place their hands on his chest. A green mist coming out as they all frowned, "He won't be using time manipulation anymore... He forced his body to a point that he can't use it anymore..." The essence of the power slowly rose and turned into a clock for applejack to punch the clock and shatter it. "Not that he needed that power in the first place. Clearly this stallion showed more ferocity then ah ever though possible..."

Celestia began to speak up as both her and Princess Luna sat upon their respective thrones clearing their throats. "So, can you all please tell me what exactly happened and how is it we don't recall what has happened these past couple days? I would also like to know why Sirens are in Canterlot." A ferocious look on her face, only for it to soften when she spoke up once more. "Although, you did help in this whole battle to free Canterlot... As a woman with fire like hair slowly appeared from behind the throne. "Spitfire..."
