Prologue

Atlas command centre in New Baghdad, Iraq.

In the Atlas command centre, it was all out in war between many Atlas soldier and two sentinels officers in A.S.T mechs. But, the soldiers in the A.S.T mechs were having the most auspicious advantage over the rogue Atlas soldiers, all they have to do is just fire their chain gun and rockets at the soldiers in order to eliminate them.

In the two mechs were Jack Mitchell and Gideon of the sentinel task force. Both officers were seen trying to head to the rocket launch base area of the headquarters to stop Irons vile intentions of launching a manticore strike in every major military bases in the world.

"Give them all you can Mitchell!" Gideon exclaimed while firing bullets at the Atlas soldiers.

Mitchell did what Gideon told and began to fire at every single Atlas soldiers in the area. The Atlas soldier tried to fight back with their gun but, their bullets posed no threat to the A.S.T suits.

Mitchell then clicked on another button and fired rockets at the remaining Atlas soldiers. The soldiers werent able to move out of the way in time and the rockets all collided on the ground near them and exploded killing them all in the process.

"All enemies in the area have been eliminated Gideon." Mitchell told him.

"Well done Mitchell." Gideon said with a proud smile. After that, he turned around and faced a metal door which was the door that leads to the rocket ship. He then got into a stance and kicked the door down with his mech "Through here Mitchell, the rockets just through here." He told him.

Mitchell then followed Gideon through the door and into one of the control rooms. They then made a left turn through a door and noticed a circular hallway on their right.

"This way Mitchell." Gideon told him "The rocket is just through this hallway." He finished.

"Roger."

Then, the two sentinel officers made a right turn and started walk through the white hallway. But suddenly, they have encountered an Atlas officer in an A.S.T suit.

"Oh crap!" Gideon exclaimed.

The Atlas officer was going to fire rockets at the two sentinels but before it could do that, Mitchell charged forward and delivered a kick to the mech's chest. That resulted in the mech falling over and ceasing it's attempt in firing the rockets.

The Atlas soldier in the A.S.T suit attempted to get back up but, it didn't get the chance when Mitchell aimed his chain gun forward and shot at him. The chain gun bullet broke through the glass and collided in the soldier's head killing him in the process.

"Well done Mitchell." Gideon said as he walked up to him.

"Thanks." Mitchell said.

PA: Launch in t-minus one minute.

Gideon and Mitchell's eyes widened in apprehension when they heard what the PA had said.

"Oh shoot we gotta pick up the pace!" Mitchell exclaimed.

Then, Mitchell and Gideon started to go as fast as they could while in their mechs.

After going into the white coloured hallway for ten seconds, Mitchell and Gideon made a left turn and saw a large hatch in front of them. And the hatch leads to the spacecraft.

"There's the hatch. Mitchell I need you to grab the right piston and attempt to pull it up." Gideon ordered.

"Roger."

Then, Gideon walked to the left piston and grabbed it with his hands while Mitchell grabbed onto the right piston. After that, the two soldiers started to pull the pistons in attempt to break them.

After ten seconds of hard pulling, the two officers have managed to break the pistons and they were bent by the pull force from the mechs and the soldiers.

Gideon then bent down and pushed the hatch open. After that, he looked at Mitchell.

"Go!" He ordered.

Mitchell did what Gideon told him and jumped down into the hatch and to the vent section of where the rocket ship was launching. He descended slowly by placing his armoured hands and feets onto the sides of the elevator shaft. Some sparks flew but, Mitchell safely descended to the ground.

Five seconds later, Gideon came down after him.

"Gideon, the launch is starting!" Ilona warned them.

"Beginning primary launch in Five... Four... Three... Two... one." Said the base computer.

Then, a sea of fire gushed towards them.

"Brace yourselves!" Gideon exclaimed.

The impact of the fire has knocked Gideon and his A.S.T suit to the ground but, he managed to recover quickly and push himself back up.

"Keep going forward!" Gideon ordered.

Then, Mitchell and Gideon started to walk forward with their left arms shielding their faces from the intense scintillating of the fire that is shooting out towards them. And the fire has slowed down their movements too.

After walking for thirty seconds, Mitchell and Gideon have reached the engines part of the rocket, and they noticed that it was commencing to launch very soon.

"Hit it with everything you've got!" Gideon yelled.

Then, both Mitchell and Gideon began firing bullets and missiles at the engines of the rocketship.

"Take out the missile's engines Mitchell!"

Mitchell and Gideon were firing bullets and missiles at the engines of the rocketship with everything they've got in attempt to prevent it from launching and dooming the world, and they did manage to damage it a little. After ten more seconds, the rocket's engines exploded. The explosion also knocked out their A.S.T suits.

"That's it!" Gideon said proudly.

Five seconds later, the rocket's engines shut off and both Mitchell and Gideon collapsed on the ground because of their damaged A.S.T suits. Mitchell was dazed a little from the impact as well.

Gideon was the first to get out of his suit by pulling the eject switch. After that, he walked up to Mitchell.

"Mitchell hang on." Gideon told him. He walked up to the back of his suit and pressed the ejection button, after that, he pulled him out of the suit "We did it Mitchell, we stopped the launch." Gideon said proudly, but Mitchell was too dazed too reply.

"I'm gonna get you out of here, stay with me." Gideon told him.

"I don't think that's possible."

When Gideon heard the familiar voice, he looked behind him but, he was met with a kick to his face.

"Augh!" Gideon grunted as he fell on the ground in pain of the attack.

Mitchell looked up and saw Irons looking down at him with a soldiers in a red suit standing next to him with an assault rifle in his arms. Mitchell looked in front of him and saw that there were lots of Atlas soldiers standing behind him armed with many guns, grenades and many more. They were also in their exo suits, while three were in A.S.T suits.

"Great work, you have stopped the launch." Irons said sarcastically "Pretty damn impressive I gotta say." He growled in anger.

Iron's then lifted his right leg up and attempted to stomp on Mitchell's chest with his right foot. When Mitchell noticed the attack, he delivered a kick to Iron's chest. And that resulted in his grunting and falling in the ground.

When the soldier noticed Mitchell injuring Iron's, he aimed his assault rifle at him. But, Mitchell responded by pushing the assault rifle away from his face. After that, he stood up and elbowed the soldier in the face.

The soldier grunted from the attack and he pulled out his hand grenade. He then pulled the pin and prepared to explode along with Mitchell.

When Mitchell noticed the grenade as well as the soldier's plan, he kneed the soldier in the chest and grabbed his grenade. After that, he looked at the crowd of soldiers in front of him and pulled his right arm back. Then, he threw the grenade directly towards the soldiers.

One of the soldiers immediately took action and aimed his shotgun forward. He then pulled the trigger and shot the grenade.

*BANG!*

*BOOM!*

At first, the soldier thought that the worse was over but, he has thought too soon because, the explosion of the grenade appears to be expanding.

"What the? What is going on?" Iron's said with a surprised expression from the expanding explosion of the grenade.

The explosion kept expanding and expanding its size like a balloon for a while now. And just as it expanded in a medium size, it began to make a loud noise which caught everyone off guard. Then, the explosion started to suck everything in.

"Mitchell grab onto something!" Gideon exclaimed as he grabbed onto a pole.

The grenade explosion was sucking everything in the area and all Gideon could hear were screams and objects flying all over the place.

Twenty seconds later, the chaos has ended and everything went back to normal. Objects rained down on the floor and Gideon fell on the ground. He then looked behind him and saw that Mitchell, Irons and the Atlas soldiers were gone along with the explosion.

"What the?" Gideon asked as he stood up from the ground "Mitchell, where are you?!" Gideon called but, he didn't get a response back.

"I have to look for him." Gideon told himself. Then, he ran and started to look for his fellow comrade.

Little did he know, he was in another dimension.

The first chapter of my new story has been accomplished! I hope you all enjoyed it!

A strange land

Ponyville 10:30am

It was a bright sunny day in Ponyville which is the happiest town in Equestria. The ponies were chatting, doing their work, playing and many more. Everything seemed very peaceful and normal for the exuberant and happy ponies.

In Twilight's oak library, Twilight Sparkle the Princess of Friendship, the leader of the elements of harmony as well as Princess Celestia's most faithful student was seen reading a book along with her special somepony Thorax, the King of the Changelings.

Twilight and Thorax have been special someponies for four years now and nothing has ever went wrong between the two. They went on dates, read lots of books based on astronomy, science, genetics and many more. However, Twilight did get some sarcastic insults from her friends and brother saying that she views Thorax as a handsome and smart King. She did get angry by those comments but, she managed to disregard them with the help of Thorax.

"Wow, the stars sure are intriguing." Thorax thought with an astonished expression.

However, his reading was put to an end when he heard a soft sigh from Twilight. He looked up forward in front of him and saw that she had an anxious expression while reading. Thorax must assume that Twilight is very edgy because of her meeting she must attend with her subjects in Canterlot.

He then got off of his chair and walked towards Twilight. Once he got to her, he wrapped his left hoof around her neck, and Twilight blushed slightly from the action.

"What's wrong Twily?"

"Oh uh... nothing it's just that I'm feeling anxious about the meeting that I have to attend in Canterlot tomorrow." Twilight told him "I just, don't know what to say to my subjects." She finished.

"Relax Twily." Thorax said in a soft voice "You can just talk about how me and your species can befriend each other and make a difference. I know you can do this." He told her in an assuring tone.

Twilight took a second to think about Thorax's suggestion as well as his assuring support. It is true that she would talk about the past conflict the ponies and changelings had during the Canterlot wedding, and it would enrage some of the ponies and changelings. But, if she talks about how they all can make a difference by befriending each other and looking at the bright side, just like what Thorax had said.

"I guess you're right." Twilight said as her stress began to disappear. Then, she turned around and looked up at Thorax with a grateful expression "Thank you so much for your support Thory, as well as helping me remain equanimous." She said as she stood up and embraced him in a hug.

"You're very welcome Twily." Thorax said as he hugged her back.

The couple embraced each other for a brief moment then, Twilight released from the hug and placed her hooves on Thorax's shoulders. And that caught him off guard. Then, Twilight raised her back left hoof and held it on the right side of Thorax's torso.

"Care for a short dance handsome?" Twilight asked with a loving expression.

When Thorax heard this, he blushed slightly. But, he managed to remain composed because, he and Twilight have had some dances before during their dates.

"Sure Twinkle's."

Then, Thorax held Twilight's right hoof with his left hoof and placed his right hoof on her back. While Twilight grabbed Thorax's left hoof with her right hoof and placed her left hoof on his shoilder. Finally, the two royals got close to each other in a dancing position preparing to dance.

At first they did a few simple steps back and forth in the room. After that, Thorax raised his left hoof up and helped Twilight do a twirl. Then, the two royals got back into their dancing positions and resumed the dance.

Thorax and Twilight then released their right and left hooves and spread them to their backs. After five seconds, they both held each other again.

Then, Thorax decided to end the dance with a simple twirl. After the twirl, he concluded it with a dip.

"Wow, you sure are good." Twilight said with an impressed expression.

"Thank you Twilight."

After that, Thorax helped Twilight up and the two royal stood up normally.

"Ah anyways, I think that should conclude our reading and dancing session for today." Thorax told her "I have to return to the hive and fulfil some of my duties." He finished.

"Understandable Thorax." Twilight said with a nod. "Well, I guess I'll see ya then handsome." She told him.

"See ya beautiful."

But, before Thorax and Twilight left, they both shared a tender kiss. They held each other for a second then released with a puckering sound heard. After that, Thorax turned around and faced Twilight's library door. Then, he walked towards it, gripped onto the handle and pulled it open. And finally, Thorax exited the library and started to walk back home.

"Thorax is so handsome and sweet." Twilight said with a dreamy expression.

Everfree forest

"Ugh... my head." Mitchell groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. At first, his visions were blurry, but when his eyes worked again, he noticed that he was starring at the nose of a deer. And when the deer noticed the creature waking up, it immediately turned around and ran away "What the heck happened?" He asked as he slowly sat up.

Mitchell then scrutinized his surroundings and saw trees, rocks and grasses around him. He must assume that he is in a forest.

"This is a forest." Mitchell said to himself. While he is looking around him, his eyes widened a few seconds later because, he has just remembered something "Wait, Irons and his men were in that colourful vortex with me!" He exclaimed.

"Wait hold on, where are my stuffs?" He asked with an anxious expression.

He then looked down on him and saw that his weapons were still strapped onto him.

"Thank goodness." Mitchell said with a relieved expression. After that, he began to check what he has as well as how much more ammunition he has left.

HBRA3 assault rifle 26 clips
Atlas 45 18 clips
Five lethal grenades
Four tactical grenades
Combat knife

"This should be good enough to help me." Mitchell told himself. After that, he placed both him hands on the ground and pushed himself back on his feet "Alright, time to venture through and out of this forest to find some citizens for help." He said.

Then, Mitchell walked into the forest and began to hopefully find any citizens that can help him on telling him where he is right now.

Mitchell has been walking in the Everfree forest for forty minutes now and things seemed to get very strange and bleak for the sentinel officer because, there were no signs of civilization anywhere. And the trees in the forest were extremely dark in colour. No shadows in the world can cause something to be that dark, except during nighttime.

"Man, this place is dark." Mitchell commented while observing his surroundings. "Is there anyone here?" He asked himself.

Mitchell was going to shout and call for anybody that could hear him but suddenly, some rustling noises prevented him from doing that.

"What the?" Mitchell said with a perplexed expression. He then turned around and saw that there is a bush rustling in front of him. "Something must be behind there." He said.

Mitchell aimed his assault rifle forward and looked through the scope of his gun in preparation of whatever was behind that large bush.

After ten seconds, Mitchell saw something very unique. Three wolves made out of wood appeared out of the bush growling in hunger.

"Is those wolves made of wood?" He asked with a bewildered expression.

But, he wasn't able to get the chance to study the wolf when the alpha let out a roar and charged towards him hastily with a ravenous expression.

When Mitchell noticed this, he immediately gripped onto the trigger of his assault rifle and fired one shot at the wolf.

*BANG!*

The wolf was not even able to detect the projectile with it's eyes and it immediately pierced through it's head killing it in the process.

The two other wolves were enraged when they saw the creature murdering their alpha. They then let out a roar and charged towards the bipedal creature. When Mitchell noticed this, he prepared for their attacks.

Once the second wolf has closed it's distance with the creature, it bent it's legs and pounced towards it with its jaws wide opened.

When Mitchell noticed this, he swung his arms back to the left and smacked the wolf in the face with his assault rifle. That resulted in making wolf whimper and fall to the ground behind him.

The wolf tried to stand up and fight the creature again but, he wasn't even able to get the chance when Mitchell shot him in the face. And that resulted the wolf getting it's head exploded.

Mitchell then felt some presence close behind him. And he must assume that it was the last wolf. So, he let go of his gun and unsheathed his combat knife. After that, he turned around and stabbed the wolf by it's left eye.

The wolf let out a pained whimper from the excruciating blade and it began to struggle to get itself free but to no avail. After ten more seconds of constant wiggling, the wolf eventually succumb to the knife and died.

"Holy crap now those were some tough animals." Mitchell said with a shocked expression. He then pushed the wolf off of his knife and sheathed it back into his knife holder. After that, Mitchell held onto his gun again.

"Okay, now that I've finished that, it's time for me to resume on my task in finding civilization." Mitchell told himself.

After that, he turned around and started to walk deeper into the forest. But what he didn't know is that, his task would be granted fulfilled.

Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it!

Attack

In a cave on the other side of the Everfree forest, Jonathan Irons was seen sitting at the very back of the cave with two-hundred and fifty Atlas soldier personnels trying to figure out where they were right now. And three were in A.S.T suits. Irons has also sent four soldiers into the forest to look for any signs of civilization.

"Ugh, I just hope that those four soldiers will find out where we are right now." Irons said with a frown.

On the other side of the Everfree forest, the four soldiers three armed with assault rifles and one armed with a shotgun were seen walking through the large forest trying to look for civilization as well as answers on where they were right now.

"Man we have been walking for an hour now and we don't know where we are."

"Benny stop complaining, we're on a mission here."

"Come on Johnny, we're not even getting anywhere in this damn place."

"Will you two knock it off?" Lieutenant Gregory said in an aggravated tone "You two are acting like some three year olds." He told them.

Benny and Johnny remained silent after hearing their Lieutenant's order and irked tone.

"Hey guys." A soldier called them from afar "I think I see something over there." He informed.

When the three soldiers heard this, they were nonplus. The Lieutenant walked forward up the hill and towards his fellow soldier.

"What is it David?"

"Look over there sir." David said as he pointed in front of him.

Gregory then looked forward to where David was pointing at. When he did, he saw something that immediately made his eyes widen. In front of him was a large village with houses. And in the town, there were many multi coloured horses. Gregory must assume that those horses must be the residents of the town.

"Sir, what are we looking at?" Benny asked.

He then got his answer when Johnny pointed in front of him. Benny looked in front of him to where Johnny was pointing at and saw a town with many multi coloured horses.

"What the? Are those horses?" Benny asked in a bewildered tone.

"Looks like it." Johnny replied with a perplexed expression "Horses can't be that colourful right?" He asked.

"No they can't." Gregory replied with a shrug "Let's go and investigate the place, but be careful, we cannot be spotted." He told them.

"Roger."

Then, the four Atlas soldiers readied their weapons and walked down the hill to the town.

The four soldiers have reached the town after sneakily walking down the hill for thirty seconds. And miraculously, they didn't get spotted by any of the horses. The four soldiers were sticking their sides against a house.

Gregory cautiously stuck his head out in an alleyway to see if there were any horses there. And lucky for him, none were in there.

"Guys, this alleyway is clear. Let's go."

Then, the four soldiers slowly and cautiously entered the alleyway. The stealth operation was going well but suddenly, one of the soldiers known as Johnny heard a noise behind him.

"Hey you there halt!"

Johnny turned around to the source of the noise and saw something very unusual. In front of him was a horse in golden armour while wielding a spear. To Johnny, the horse represents a roman guard from the medieval ages.

The pony guard was a bit perplexed by the sight of the strange creature he spotted after he walked around the corner. The bipedal creature was dark coloured, it had what looks to be like a metal skeleton wrapped around his body, it had red goggles, a dark helmet was on it's head, and it was holding a weird metal stick.

"What are you?" The guard asked as he aimed his spear at the creature.

"Hey, get your spear out of my face you stinky horse." Johnny said as he shoved the spear away from his face.

"What did you call me?!" The guard asked with an enraged expression.

"Oh you didn't hear?" Johnny asked in a mocking tone "You're a stinky horse." He repeated in an insulting tone.

The guard got extremely angry when he heard the creature's insult.

"Grr, you're going to get it!" The guard yelled.

He then drew both his hooves back and pushed them forward attempting to stab the creature in the face. But, it turned out to be a futile attempt when the creature moved it's head to it's right avoiding the attack.

Johnny then grabbed the spear and yanked it away from the guard's hoof. After that, he threw it away and aimed his assault rifle forward directly at the guard's face.

"This is what you get for trying to attack me."

*BANG!*

The guard was killed instantly when the bullet collided in his face. He then fell on the ground and began to bleed from his head.

"Hahaha!"

"Johnny! What have you done?!"

Johnny turned around and saw the lieutenant and his friends standing in front of him.

"What? That horse attacked me first."

Lieutenant Gregory wanted to dispute about his temerarious exertion but then, the sound of the whole town chattering stopped him from doing it.

"Oh great, now the whole town heard us." Gregory said in frustration.

"What's the play now lieutenant?" David asked.

"Neutralize anyone who has their eyes on us!" Gregory exclaimed.

In the Everfree forest near Ponyville, Mitchell was seen walking through the forest still trying to look for civilization. He was about to give up and find a place to stay but suddenly, a loud gunshot noise stopped him.

"What the?" Mitchell said with a shocked expression. He then ran to his left to where the source of the noise was.

After running through the forest for a minute as well as going up a hill, Mitchell saw what looks to be like a town in front of him. He also heard some gunshots there are well.

"What the? What's going on?" Mitchell asked with a perplexed expression. He then looked at down at the town and saw four Atlas soldiers killing what seems to be like multi coloured horses. "Oh no, I gotta stop them." He said. After that, he ran down the hill and into the town.

In Ponyville, the ponies of the happy town were being massacred by four bipedal creatures wielding strange metal sticks.

"Ahhh! Everypony run!" Yelled a mare.

Many stallions and mares ran back into their houses to hide from the creatures. But unfortunately, one mare wasn't able to run away in time when one of the bipedal creatures grabbed her by her back hooves and threw her back.

"Ooof!" The mare grunted as she fell on her back.

She tried to crawl away but, the bipedal creature placed it's right foot on her torso and aimed his assault rifle directly at her face.

"Bye bye little po-"

Gregory wasn't able to finish his sentence when a gunshot was fired.

*BANG!*

The bullet immediately made contact with Gregory's face, and blood splattered out from the impact. Gregory then fell on the ground killed.

Benny, Johnny and David were scandalized by the sight of their fallen Lieutenant. They then looked to the source of the gunshot and saw their enemy Jack Mitchell standing in front of them.

"What the? You?!"

"Yes, me."

The mare was perplexed by the sight but, she decided to just get up and run out of there.

"How are you here?" Benny asked demanding an answer.

"Well I just heard a gunshot in the forest and ran to the location." Mitchell replied simply "After that, I came across this town and saw you all killing these weird horses." He finished.

"And what? You're going to stop us?" Johnny asked.

"Yes." Mitchell replied as he aimed his assault rifle forward.

"Attack!"

Then, Benny, Johnny and David all aimed their assault rifles forward and began shooting at Mitchell. Mitchell responded by turning to his right and rolling behind a house for cover.

*BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!*

"Grr, I'm going around the side." Benny told himself. After that, he ceased his fire and turned to his left. Then, he ran into an alleyway in attempt to try and surprise attack the sentinel officer.

Mitchell was getting pinned down by the gunfire. And there was no way that he could shoot back because, he would get killed. So instead, he reached into his belt and pulled out a tactical grenade. He cycled it until it was in flash grenade mode.

"I hope this works."

Then, Mitchell threw the tactical grenade and directly towards the two soldiers.

*PING!*

"Augh!"

Johnny and David were both dazed by the light of the tactical grenade. And they had to shield their eyes with their hands.

Once Mitchell heard their grunts, he immediately charged out of his cover spot and aimed his assault rifle forward. After that, he shot the two soldiers.

*BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!*

The two soldiers were immediately killed when the bullets collided in their chests and faces. Then, they both fell on the ground bleeding.

Mitchell walked up to the two Atlas soldiers and immediately realized he only killed two of them. There were suppost to be three.

"Huh? Where's the third one?"

Mitchell immediately got his answer when a gunshot was heard.

*BANG!*

"Augh!" Mitchell grunted as he knelt on the ground. He was shot in the right side of his waist.

"Hahaha! Take that!" Benny exclaimed in a vile tone. "Now I will-"

Benny wasn't able to finish his sentence when Mitchell immediately turned around and aimed his assault rifle forward in a hasty speed which caught him off guard. Then, he pulled the trigger and shot him in the face.

*BANG!*

Benny immediately fell on the ground dead after the bullet collided in his head.

Mitchell scrutinized his surroundings to see if there were any other Atlas soldiers here in the area. After looking around for ten seconds, Mitchell noticed that the area was now clear.

"I have to get out of here." Mitchell said in a frail tone.

After that, he slowly stood up and started to run away from town while holding his waist in pain from the impact of the bullet. But little did he know, a pony was watching him from afar.

Princess Twilight Sparkle had just witnessed the brutal scene while hiding behind a tree.

"Oh my, what was that all about?" Twilight asked with a shocked and perplexed mixed expression "I have to get some answers from that creature." She told herself.

After that, Twilight walked out of her hiding place and started to chase the creature.

Mitchell has been walking in the Everfree forest for ten minutes now, and he has gotten drastically frail and fatigue from his wound, he is now seen standing next to a small hill. He has left a trail of tiny blood drops behind him in the process.

"I need to find some help." Mitchell said in a weak tone.

Mitchell then placed his left hand on the side of the small hill to give him some leverage to walk more efficiently. So, he continued to walk slowly and cautiously while pulling forward with his left hand.

Once Mitchell has walked past the hill, he looked forward and saw what looks to be like a large beehive

"What is that?" Mitchell asked in a perplexed tone.

But, he wasn't able to get the chance to look at the large structure when his visions began to blur.

"Uggggghhhhhh........." Mitchell groaned as he collapsed onto the ground unconscious.

First contact

Back in the cave where Jonathan Irons and his men were sheltering in, Jonathan Irons was getting drastically vexed and impatient right now because, the four soldiers he sent out to investigate the forest as well as to find out where they were haven't returned yet.

"Grr, what's taking them so long?" Irons thought with a frustrated expression. Then, one soldier walked up to him.

"Mister Irons, I have some good news and bad news to report."

When Irons heard this, his eyes widened in surprise. He then turned around and faced the soldier.

"What is it?"

"I'll start with the bad news." He told him "The four soldiers you have sent have been killed." He informed.

When Irons heard this, his let out a frustrated groan.

"Terrific." Irons said with a roll of his eyes "What's the good news then?" He asked.

"The good news is, before Benny's death, he has sent a message to me and stated that he and his colleagues have found a town filled with colourful talkinh horses. The town was also full of natural resources." He replied.

When Irons heard this, he was bewildered and shocked. What exactly were these colourful talking horses that Benny was talking about? And natural resources? Those might come in handy for him and his men if they want to survive.

"I also have another shocking news to tell you sir."

"And that is?"

"You see." The soldier said. He then took a deep breath and decided to expose "Gregory, Johnny, Benny and David were all killed by Jack Mitchell." He told him.

Irons eyes widened when he heard the reply. He didn't know that Mitchell was also here. And if he is here, then that means that he would probably try and hunt him and his men down. But, he disregarded the thought and regained his composure.

"Really? Then what's the big deal?" Iron's asked "It's just him only, and there's like over two-hundred of us, so we can instantly kill him if we encounter him." He told him.

"I guess you do have a point there sir." The soldier said with a nod "After all, we do have three soldiers in A.S.T suits with us." He added.

"Exactly." Irons said with a nod. Then, he moved on to the main topic "Now, where exactly is this town that Benny described?" He asked in a menacing tone.

Changeling Hive

In the Changeling Hive hospital, many changeling doctors and nurses were seen treating some sick young and elderly changeling drones just like how their work is like everyday.

However, in one room on the third floor of the changeling hive hospital, three changeling doctors were seen performing a medical operation on a strange bipedal creature that King Thorax has brought during his time at the garden area of the Changeling Kingdom.

The doctors did have some rough time on patching up his wound because, this is a creature that they have never ever seen before in their life.

"How's it holdin' up?" A doctor asked.

"It was complicated but, we have managed to patch up it's wound."

"I wonder what kind of creature it is." A doctor said looking at him "It doesn't look like a dragon to me." He finished.

"Of course it isn't you fool." The doctor said, and that made the previous doctor mumble in aggravation because of the offensive word said to him "It doesn't even have any claws or scales. In addition to that, it is quite taller compared to them, and us." He added.

"Yeah I know." The doctor told him with a nod "I just wonder-"

The doctor wasn't able to finish his sentence when he heard a groaning noise.

All three changeling doctors in the room all looked at the stretcher where the creature was and noticed that it's eyebrows were moving slightly. It's eyelids were slowly moving too.

"Oh crap it's waking up." A doctor said with an anxious expression.

"What do we do?"

"Let's go get the King."

The two changeling doctors nodded in unison and all three of them ran out of the hospital room. After that, they ran to the hospital waiting area on the first floor to get their King.

"Ugghhh..." Mitchell moaned. "What happened?" He asked.

Mitchell then slowly managed to open his eyes awhile in his frail state. At first, his visions were blurry, but when they worked again, Mitchell noticed that he was looking up at a rectangular light cover.

"Where am I?" Mitchell asked himself.

Mitchell then turned his head to his right and saw a door and a window with seats behind it. He must assume that he is currently in a hospital considering the textures and designs of the room.

"I'm in a hospital." Mitchell said with a nonplus expression "Who brought me here?" He asked in a perplexed tone.

But then, Mitchell heard some footsteps noises coming directly towards him.

"Someone's coming, I gotta pretend to be put cold." Mitchell told himself. After that, he lied back down on his stretcher and closed his eyes pretending to be unconscious still.

Five seconds later, Mitchell heard the door to his room opening as well as someone entering. A brief second later, the unknown person who has entered his room closed the door behind him and started to walk towards his bed.

"Wait for it." Mitchell thought. He needed to be patient in order to accomplish his sneak attack.

Once the footsteps got closer and louder, Mitchell immediately sat up from his stretcher and wrapped his approacher by the neck.

"Gah!" Yelped the creature.

Mitchell then looked at his approacher and noticed that it wasn't human. He was currently holding a green coloured creature with orange deer horns, a green horn, a purple shelled back with mosquito looking wings, and it's eyes were lavender coloured.

"Who are you?" Mitchell asked demanding an answer.

"M-my name is Thorax sir! I w-was t-the one w-who found you and brought you here!"

When Mitchell heard this, he immediately released his grip from the strange insect looking creature. After that, Thorax held his right hoof on his neck area and began to pant for breath after the unanticipated surprise attack from the weird creature.

"What in the world are you?" Mitchell asked.

"What am I?" Thorax asked "Why I am a changeling." He replied.

Mitchell was bewildered when he heard the word 'changeling'. Not a time in his life has he heard about an animal known as a changeling.

"What in the world is a changeling?" Mitchell thought with a perplexed expression "Is it some sort of insect? If it is then, he is quite tall and big to be an insect."He added with a nonplus expression.

"Anyways, my name is Thorax, King of the Changelings." He introduced himself as he extended his right hoof to shake.

Mitchell was caught off guard by the time he heard that the creature in front of him is a King, he has assaulted a royal? But, he pushed the confusion out of his mind and introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you Thorax, my name is Jack Mitchell." Mitchell introduced himself as he shook his hoof with his left hand.

After three seconds, Thorax and Mitchell finished their shake with smiles on them.

"So Thorax, do you mind telling me where I am right now?" Mitchell asked kindly.

"Why you're in the Changeling Hive." Thorax replied. "This is my home along with many of my changeling subjects." He told him.

Mitchell was bewildered when he heard the name 'changeling hive'. Is it some sort of country or something? But, he shook the question out of his head and decided to ask Thorax about inquiries about how he got here.

"How did I get here Thorax?"

"Well, here's the full story." Thorax said. And Mitchell began to listen "After my reading and slow dancing session with my special somepony Twilight Sparkle, I returned to my home to resume with my work in running my Kingdom. During my garden shift, I spotted you lying on the ground near the hill of my Kingdom. I ran to your location and saw you bleeding severely from your waist. So, I brought you to the hospital and the doctors laid you down on the hospital stretcher to perform a medical operation on your waist, at the end, we managed to pull a tiny metal projectile out. It was a bit cumbersome for them considering the thick suit your wearing." He delineated the entire story.

Mitchell was extremely surprised and grateful after he has heard the entire story. He looked down on his waist and noticed that his waist was indeed bandaged up, and his bleeding has stopped. Then, he looked up at Thorax with a grateful smile.

"Thanks Thorax." Mitchell said in a grateful tone "I could've died without your help." He told him.

"Eh no sweat." Thorax said while rubbing the back of his head "You could've been killed." He told him.

"Also, I have moved your stuffs over there." Thorax said as he pointed at his metal stuffs placed at the left side of his room "They were quite hulking, and I had a difficult time moving and carrying them." He finished with a humiliated chuckle.

Mitchell then looked to where Thorax was pointing at and he saw that his assault rifle, pistol, combat knife, lethal and tactical grenades were stationed at the left side of his hospital room. Just like what Thorax has told him.

"Why thank you." Said Mitchell.

After that, he got off his hospital stretcher and stood up on the floor.

Thorax was truly astonishing and shocked by the height of the creature. He was almost as tall as him. But, he was more concerned about his safety.

"Mister Mitchell, you've just recovered."

"I'm okay Thorax." Mitchell assured him "I've been through worse." He told him. After that, he walked up to his weapons.

Once he got to them, Mitchell bent down and grabbed his grenades first and strapped them into his belt. After that, he grabbed his combat knife and sheathed it in his knife holder. Then, he grabbed his pistol and put it in his holster. Finally, he stood up and grabbed his assault rifle, strapping it on him in the process.

"Great to have my weapons back again." Mitchell said to himself with a smile.

He then turned around and to his great surprise, he saw Thorax standing in front of him.

"Say Mitchell if you don't mind, can I ask you some inquiries?" He asked kindly.

"Sure, by all means."

"Wonderful!" Thorax exclaimed with a smile. "I'm going to grab my notepad first!" He said. After that, he turned around and zoomed out of the hospital room in an exuberant way.

"Huh, he sure is fast." Mitchell said with an impressed impression.

Everfree forest 12:00pm

In the Everfree forest, Princess Twilight Sparkle was seen walking in the forest while following the trail of blood left behind by the mysterious bipedal creature that appeared in Equestria and battled his own kind.

"If I just follow this trail, I might just be able to encounter the creature." Twilight said to herself. "This will be easy." She said with a smile.

But, she has talked too soon because, the blood trail has ended at the side of a small hill.

"Oh terrific." Twilight said with an irked expression. "Now what do I do?" She asked herself.

Twilight then looked up and noticed that this path was very familiar considering the light green grass as well as the small hill.

"This is the path to the Changeling Hive." Twilight told herself.

She then walked around the small hill and saw her special someponies Kingdom.

"Could the creature be in the Changeling Hive?" Twilight asked herself with a perplexed expression. "I need to investigate, hopefully my Thory would know about it as well as understanding what had happened in Ponyville earlier." She said.

After that, she ran to the Changeling Hive.

Questioning

Mitchell has been waiting in his hospital room for Thorax for almost ten minutes now. And he seemed to have gotten bored and aggravated because, he should be hunting down Irons and his men right now so that he could answer for his crimes against the world. But, he promised Thorax that he would answer some inquiries that he has for him. After all, he did save his life, and he does owe him one.

"I hope that his questions wouldn't be very personal." Mitchell said to himself.

Then, the door to his hospital room has opened. Mitchell looked in front of him and saw Thorax coming up to him with a notepad and a pencil levitated in the air with hos magic.

"Sorry I'm late Mitchell, I had a rough time trying find my notepad." Thorax told him with a chuckle.

Mitchell didn't even reply to Thorax's statement because, he was focused on the green auras surrounding the notepad and the pencil. It was like one of those laser guns from his nation.

"Is something wrong Mitchell?" Thorax asked with a raise of his eyebrow in confusion.

"Oh uh nothing sorry." Mitchell said as he snapped out of his confusion "It's just that, the green auras surrounding your notepad and pencil has caught me off guard completely." He told him.

"Oh did they?" Thorax asked, and Mitchell replied with a nod "Well this is what is known as magic, only a few species like ponies and changelings can produce magic, some cannot. Plus, our magic can be very practical for many purposes." He delineated.

Mitchell was drastically astonished to hear that what Thorax was doing to hold his notepad and pencil was magic. Magic was a fantasy thong back in his world, he never knew that it was real in this world. Then, Thorax raised the notepad in front of his face.

"You don't have magic from your world?" Thorax asked.

"No we don't." Mitchell replied with A shake of his head "From my perspective, magic is a fantasy thing." He told him. And that made Thorax nonplussed and perplexed because, magic is quite common here in Equestria. But, he spoke the perplexity out of his head and moved onto the main topic. The interrogation.

"So anyways, shall we begin the questioning?" Thorax asked.

"Okay sure." Mitchell replied with a nod. "Wouldn't be good to keep you waiting right?" He asked, and Thorax replied with a nod.

"Okay let's start." Thorax said with enthusiasm "So first question, what kind of creature are you?" He asked.

"I am a human being, homo sapiens." Mitchell replied. And that caught Thorax off guard as well as making him bewildered. Never once in his life has he heard of a 'human being'. This is entirely new to him.

"A human? Homo Sapiens?" Thorax asked with a perplexed expression "Care to elaborate?" He asked again.

"Sorry but no, it's complicated." Mitchell said with a chuckle "But what I can tell you is that, we are a very intelligent and unpredictable specie." He told him. And that made Thorax nonplussed.

"Anyways, can we move on to the next question please?" Mitchell asked kindly "I don't feel comfortable sharing personal and classified information." He told him.

"Okay, I understand." Thorax acknowledged with a nod "For my next question, where are you from?" He asked.

"I'm from the United States of America." Mitchell replied. And that got Thorax very bewildered, he has never heard of such place like that.

"United States of America?" Thorax asked in a perplexed tone "What is that?" He asked again.

"The United States of America is the nation where I am born in." Mitchell replied "It is the most wealthiest and powerful country in the Earth in terms of economic and military power." He added.

Thorax was drastically flabbergasted by the description of this unknown nation. He must think that the people there must be rich considering that Mitchell has stated that it is the most wealthiest. But what scared him a little is that their military power is very powerful and mighty. In addition to that, what got Thorax perplexed was this strange planet called Earth.

"Um, what is this Earth that you speak of?" Thorax asked.

"It is the planet where I am from." Mitchell told him.

When Thorax heard this, he was very surprised to hear that Mitchell was from another planet, if he is not from Equestria then that means that he is currently establishing contact with a creature from another world. And that got him drastically exhilarated.

"Wow, what is your planet like?" Thorax asked with an eager expression to know.

"Well, it's a planet that is formed 4.5 billion years ago." Mitchell told him "In the past, there were prehistoric creatures that roamed the Earth before us, we first appeared in this continent known as Africa. And after centuries, we apparently became the most dominant specie on the planet." Mitchell replied.

Thorax was left with an astonished and shocked expression after hearing all of these neat informations presented by Mitchell. But what traumatized him was when he said that he and his species were the most dominant creatures on the planet.

"Oh my what have you and your kind done?" Thorax asked. But, Mitchell decided to not disclose any information.

"Yeah sorry Thorax, I don't know much." Mitchell said with a shrug.

"Okay." Thorax acknowledged "Anyways, next question, what are those metal things that you're carrying? And what is taht metal skeleton that is wrapped around you?" He asked.

Mitchell was a bit bewildered by Thorax's inquiry. But, after pondering for a brief second, Mitchell has understood what the question is about. Thorax must be asking about his guns and his exo suit.

"Oh these?" Mitchell asked pointing at his guns and exo suit. And Thorax replied with a nod "These metal things that I am holding in my arms as well as strapping them in my gear right now are known as guns or firearms. And here's how they work, when I pull the trigger button here with my fonger, a loud sound will be produced and a small metal projectile called a bullet will fly out of the muzzle of the gun here. If flies at such a high speed that even the naked eye can't see. And once it hits you, it will go through your body and make an exit hole. The bullet doesn't always make an exit hole, some bullets sometimes get stuck in your body which is more excruciating. Bullets also comes in with different calibers. The smaller calibers can wound you, and the larger calibers has a higher rate in killing someone." He delineated.

Thorax was truly petrified after he has heard of the description if the weapons that Mitchell is carrying. He never knew that a weapon like that could pose such menacing harm to somepony.

"Wow, that's extremely brutal." Thorax said with a traumatized expression.

"Indeed it is kid." Mitchell said with a chuckle. After that, he decided to delineate about the exo suit "This metal skeleton here is what is known as an exoskeleton or an exo suit for short. It is a mechanical technology that gives us the abilities for increased movement and speed as well as for tactical purposes. It essentially gives us the ability to increase our physical abilities." He told him.

Thorax was flabbergasted by this technology. Having the abilities to increase you physical feature is like magic charging up your powers.

"Wow, that is cool."

"Indeed it is kid." Mitchell said with a smile anyways, any other questions?" He asked.

"Nope, that should be all." Thorax replied with a shake of his head "Thank you for all of these wonderful informations Mitchell, they were very astonishing." He told him.

"You're very welcome." Mitchell said. Then, he has decided to ask him his question "Hey uh Thorax, if you don't mind, I have an inquiry that I would like to ask of you if you don't mind." He told him.

"Shoot, I'm all ears."

"Okay, so here's my question. Where am I?" He asked.

"Why you're in Equestria, the nation that I live in." Thorax replied "But, you're currently in my hometown tight now known as the Changeling Hive." He told him.

Mitchell was very astonished and perplexed when he heard that he is now currently in this weird nation called Equestria. If that's true, then that's means that he is no longer in Earth anymore.

Mitchell was going to ask Thorax some inquires about this nation that he is in but, the sound of the hospital room door opening stopped him.

"King Thorax!"

When Thorax heard the voice, he turned around and saw a doctor.

"Hello doctor, what is it that you require."

"Sir the change-"

The doctor immediately froze in his sentence when he took notice of Mitchell standing behind Thorax.

"Uh... who is that?"

"Him?" Thorax asked pointing at Mitchell, and the doctor replied with a nod "This is Jack Mitchell, he is a human being from the planet Earth, and he's a friend." He finished.

When the doctor heard the King' s statement, he was a bit petrified to hear that this creature was not from here. But, before he could get scared even more, Thorax changed the subject.

"Anyways, why are you here?"

"Oh right, about the topic." The doctor said regaining his composure "Your special somepony Twilight Sparkle is here." He told him.

Secrets

"Twilight is here?" Thorax asked with a perplexed expression. And the doctor replied with a nod.

"Correct, she is here because she wants to talk to you about something as well as seeing you again." The doctor told him. And that got Thorax perplexed again.

"What is this thing that she wants to tell me about?"

"Sorry your majesty but, she didn't tell me anything." The doctor told him "All she said is that she wanted to share the information to you personally." He finished.

When Thorax heard this, he was very nonplussed and confused at the same time. What is this thing that Twilight wanted to tell him about? And why didn't she disclose it to any of his changelings subjects? But, if it was personal, he is okay with it. After all, sharing some personal information about yourself would be very uncomfortable.

"Okay I guess." Thorax said with a shrug "Where is she right now?" He asked.

"She is at the front doors of the Changeling Hive." The doctor replied.

"Okay, I'll be there soon. And thank you for informing me."

"You're welcome your majesty." The doctor said with a bow. After that, he turned around and walked out of the hospital room door.

Mitchell was kind of bewildered by the conversation between Thorax and the doctor a second ago. So, he walked up to Thorax and decided to ask him about it.

"Hey uh Thorax." Mitchell called him. And Thorax turned around and faced him "What was that all about?" He asked with a raise of his eyebrow.

"Oh it's nothing." Thorax told him "It's just that my special somepony Twilight Sparkle has arrived here to talk to me about something very personal." He finished.

"And who is this Twilight Sparkle?"

"She is the Princess of Friendship, the element of magic, the leader of the elements of Harmony, and the love of my life."

Mitchell was very surprised about the description. And he was also nonplussed to hear that Thorax has a girlfriend. But, he has more inquiries.

"Is she a changeling as well?" Mitchell asked.

"Nope." Thorax replied with a shake of his head "Twilight Sparkle is an alicorn Princess from the town called Ponyville. She is the Princess of many ponies. And she is also Celestia's most faithful student." He told him.

Mitchell was a bit confused by Thorax's statement. But, after pondering for a brief moment, he must assume that what he was talking about were the colourful horses in town.

"Ponies?" Mitchell asked in a bewildered tone "Do you mean those colourful ponies in town?" He asked again.

"Yes you're precise." Thorax replied with a nod.

"So they're ponies, not horses." Mitchell said to himself quietly.

"Ah anyways, I should probably go and let her in right now, I shouldn't be keeping her waiting for a while." Thorax said. After that, he turned around and faced the hospital room door. But, before he could walk up to it, Mitchell called him again.

"Thorax wait!" Mitchell said, and that made Thorax stop in his tracks and turn around and look at him.

"What is it Mitchell?" Thorax asked with a perplexed expression.

"If you don't mind, do you think that you can let me hide somewhere?"Mitchell asked "I do not want to be spotted by her." He told her.

Thorax was a bit bewildered by Mitchell's request. Why wouldn't he want to meet Twilight? She is a very kind pony after all. Plus, she is the love of his life, like what he had told her. After thinking for a moment, Thorax now understood why Mitchell made the request. He must think that Twilight might get frightened when she sees him. And he does agree that she would indeed freak out if she sees him. She would probably faint or run around the place.

"Okay then, I guess you could hide in one of the guest rooms." Thorax said.

"In the where now?" Mitchell asked with a perplexed expression.

"In one of the guest rooms." Thorax said again "Here, let me guide you to one of them." He told him.

After that, Thorax and Mitchell both walked out of the hospital room, and Thorax began to lead Mitchell to one of the guest rooms of the Changeling Hive on the third floor. That way, Mitchell can hide from Twilight in order to prevent her from seeing him, as well as provoking a panic from her.

Thorax and Mitchell have both officially exited the Changeling Hive hospital and were heading to the guest rooms of the changeling hive. During their walk, Mitchell noticed that many of the changelings here were starting at him with petrified and surprised expressions. Some were even hiding their childrens. But, Mitchell managed to disregard all of those expressions easily by not looking at them.

After a ten minute walk, Thorax and Mitchell went upstairs to the third floor of the Changeling Hive which was the guest room area.

"Right this way Mitchell." Thorax told him.

"Okay." Mitchell said as he began to follow him.

Thorax lead Mitchell to a door and gripped onto the handle with his magic. After that, he pushed it open and stepped aside in order for Mitchell to enter.

"Welcome to your guest room Mitchell." Thorax told him.

Mitchell entered the room and began to scrutinize the room. The room had a bed on the right side, a wardrobe on the left, a door that probably leads to the bathroom, a glass door with a balcony behind it, and a couch.

"Wow, this room looks nice." Mitchell thought with an impressed expression "This reminds me of one of those five star hotels from my world." He added.

"Stay put and I'll inform you when Twilight has left." Thorax told him as he closed the door. After that, he turned to his left and began to rush to the downstairs section of guest room to get to the front doors of the Changeling Hive on the first floor in order to get to Twilight.

At the front doors of the Changeling Hive, Princess Twilight Sparkle was seen waiting at the front doors of the Kingdom with a bored expression because, her handsome bug is not here yet. And she has been waiting for twelve minutes now.

"Where is he?" Twilight asked herself with a disoriented expression "My Thory doesn't usually take this long when me and my friends are here." She told herself.

After a brief second, the doors to the Changeling Hive were pulled open.

Twilight looked in front of her and saw the handsome, smart and brave King Thorax standing in front of her with a smile on his muzzle.

"Salutations Twily!" Greeted Thorax.

"Salutations Thory." Greeted Twilight.

"Sorry to have keep you waiting, I had to do something." Thorax apologized.

"No no no it's okay, you have a lot of duties to fulfill as a King here and I understand that." Twilight assured him "After all, I do have some obligations as well as a princess." She told him.

"Very true." Thorax said with a nod "Anyways, please come in." He told her.

"Thank you." Twilight said with a pleasant smile. After that, she entered the Chnageling Hive, and Thorax closed the doors behind her in the process.

Thorax and Twilight are both seen walking through the town with many Changeling drones waving at the alicorn Princess, and Twilight simply waved back. Then, Thorax decided to ask Twilight about the main topic.

"So Twilight, what is this personal thing that you wanted to talk to me about?" Thorax asked.

"Oh right the thing." Twilight said as she remembered about the main topic she wanted to talk to Thorax about "Can we talk about this in a private location?" She asked.

"Sure." Thorax replied with a nod "Why don't we head to the meeting room on the fourth floor?" He suggested.

"That would be wonderful." Twilight said with a smile.

Once the decision has been made, Thorax started to lead Twilight to the meeting room of the Changeling Hive.

Back in the guest room where Mitchell was hiding in, Mitchell was seen pacing back and forth in his room pondering about where Irons and his men are right now as well as how to stop him and put an end to his vile and barbaric crimes.

"Where could Irons and his men be?" Mitchell asked himself.

But, his pondering session has came to a conclusion when he heard some hoofstep noises outside of his room.

"What's that noise?" Mitchell asked as he walked up to the door.

Once he got to it, he pressed his left ear against the door and heard Thorax talking with someone. And this someone appears to be a female. Mitchell must assume that it was the Princess Twilight Sparkle that Thorax told him about. So, he has decided to listen to their conversation.

"Really?" Thorax asked with a traumatized expression. And Twilight replied with a nod "Were the ponies okay?" He asked again.

"Well, some of them were but, some were killed by those bipedal creatures." Twilight said with a disconsolate expression.

Thorax was truly scandalized after he had heard of the story that Twilight delineated to him. The ponies in Ponyville have been maimed and slaughtered by some unknown bipedal creatures wielding those strange metal weapons known as guns from what he has heard from Mitchell. Could those bipedal creature that Twilight and her subjects encountered could be Mitchell's enemies?

"I-I'm so sorry Twilight." Thorax said with an expression of grief "I wish that I could've came there to rescue your subjects." He told her.

"It's okay Thorax." Twilight said with an assuring smile "All that matters now is that I want to ask you if you know anything about this bipedal creature that retreated back into the Everfree forest after a battle with its on kind." She told him.

When Thorax heard Twilight's inquiry, he must assume that she was talking about Mitchell. But, he could not expose the secret to her otherwise, there would be panic from her; she could also faint from the amount of fear that would build up in her.

"Uh... well... I..."

Thorax wasn't able to finish his sentence a thump noise was heard in one of the guest room's. That resulted in them both stopping in their tracks to the stairs that leads to the fourth floor and stare back at where the noise came from.

"What was that?" Twilight asked with a perplexed expression.

Thorax was anxious now because, that was the guest room that Mitchell is currently hiding in.

Twilight then walked forward towards the guest room to investigate what provoked the loud noise.

When Thorax noticed this, he immediately ran up to Twilight in attempt to stop her.

"Twilight wait, I uh ah!" Thorax yelped as he tripped over.

He then fell onto Twilight which caught her off guard by surprise but, the two managed to maintain their balance. The couple then made some spins and eventually, they came to a stop with Thorax pressing Twilight against the wall in a romantic position.

"Oh uh... sorry about that Twilight! I just tripped over and-"

Thorax wasn't able to finish his sentence when Twilight gently pressed her right hoof onto his lips. Thorax looked in front of him and saw that Twilight was now giving him a loving expression as if she wanted to do something with him. Her cheeks were also flushing slightly.

"I didn't know you had that in you Thory." Twilight said in a loving tone. She then raised her left hoof up until it was on the right side of Thorax's torso. After that, she wrapped her hooves around his neck "Care for another dance handsome?" She asked with a wink.

When Thorax heard this, his cheeks began to flush slightly. But, this might also be the perfect opportunity to lead Twilight away from Mitchell so, he nodded.

"Sure my Princess."

After that, Thorax and Twilight held each other in a dancing position like the one they did back in the library. Then, they both started to slow dance gracefully.

Thorax helped Twilight do some twirls, a dip as well as some basic steps. Once they got to the stairs, Thorax and Twilight both carefully watched their steps while dancing or else they would fall and injure themselves.

Six seconds later, Thorax and Twilight have both officially reached the fourth floor of the Changeling Hive. Thorax continued to dance along with Twilight whilw following the rhythm of Twilight's hums.

The couple slow danced until they were at the door of Thorax's bedroom. Once they got to it, Thorax pushed the door open with his back. After that, he entered along with Twilight. Then, he wrapped both hooves around her back and lifted her up. Finally, he walked to the bed and fell on it with Twilight on her back, and Thorax on top of her.

"Wow honey, you sure are an intelligent and adroit stallion when it comes to dancing and impressing a mare." Twilight said softly.

"Thank you baby, I always like to make you happy." Thorax told her with a smile.

After a brief second, Thorax inched his head towards Twilight and kissed her on the lips passionately. And Twilight kissed back.

Back in Mitchell's guest room, Mitchell has successfully placed his assault rifle back upwards against the wall after it fell on the floor making a loud noise in the process.

"Phew, that was a close one." He said with a relieved sigh.

But then, Mitchell heard some strange and unusual noises coming from upstairs.

"What's going on up there?" Mitchell asked looking up at the ceiling. He decided to go and investigate after all, the citizens here must know of his presence.

So, Mitchell walked up to his room door and gripped onto the handle with his right hand. After that, he pulled it open and walked out. Then, he faced his left where the source of the sound is, and it seems to be coming from up that stairs. So, he ran to the stairs.

After through the hallway and up the stairs for ten seconds, Mitchell noticed that the sounds were getting louder now. He looked in front of him and noticed a slightly opened door.

"That must be where the noise is coming from." Mitchell said.

Then, he walked to the door to investigate. Once he got to it, he quietly and cautiously opened the door slightly and peeked through. And when he did, he saw something very shocking.

In front of him was Thorax making love with a purple pony with unicorn horn and wings in bed. Thorax was on top of the purple pony kissing her neck and rubbing her belly, while the purple pony was moaning softly in pleasure. Mitchell must assume that that purple pony is Twilight Sparkle.

"Mmmmmmm." Moaned Twilight.

"I love you Twily."

"I-I l-love you t-too Thory."

Mitchell has decided to let the two have their private moment. So, he closed the door quietly and took a deep breath, exhaling it in the process.

"Wow, Thorax and that Twilight Sparkle sure are one strong and lovely couple." Mitchell commented.

Second attack

3:00pm

King Thorax and Princess Twilight Sparkle were seen sleeping on Thorax's bed in his bedroom while snoring calmly after their private moment together after their romantic dance.

A brief second later, Thorax was the first to wake up. He moaned softly and slowly opened his eyes. At first, his visions were blurry, but when his eyes worked again, he saw his special somepony Twilight Sparkle still asleep in front of him. Then, a warm smile appeared on his muzzle.

"She's so adorable when she is sleeps." Thorax said quietly.

A brief moment later, Twilight began to wake up. She let out an adorable yawn and stretched her hooves and wings. After that, she slowly opened her eyes. And when she did, she saw her handsome King Thorax in front of her.

"Morning beautiful."

Twilight giggled and said "Morning handsome."

"Wow, that was quite the time we had in the last two hours." Thorax commented.

"Indeed." Twilight agreed with a nod "And you do know how to satisfy a mare." She said as she rubbed Thorax's chest with her left hoof.

"Thank you Twinkle's."

"You're very welcome Thory." Twilight said in a cute tone. After that, she has decided that it was the time for her to go home "Well anyways, I have to go home now." She told him with a depressed expression.

"Oh okay, I'll walk you to the front doors." Thorax told her in a loyal tone, and that made Twilight giggle.

"Thanks Thory."

After that, Thorax and Twilight both sat up straight and got off the bed. Then, Thorax walked up to his bedroom door and gripped onto the handle with his magic. After that, he pulled the door open and Twilight walked out with Thorax behind her. Finally, Thorax closed the door and started to walk Twilight to the front doors of the Changeling Hive.

After walking through hallways, going downstairs as well as waving at many Changeling drones for ten minutes, Thorax has officially finished guiding Twilight to the front doors of the Changeling Hive. He activated his horn and pulled the two doors open. After that, Twilight stepped out.

"See ya tomorrow Twily."

"See ya tomorrow Thory."

But before Twilight left, she shared another tender kiss with Thorax. They held each other for a moment then released. After that, Twilight turned around and started to walk back home.

When Thorax saw that Twilight was leaving, he closed the doors and sat down on the floor letting out a sigh in the process.

"Twilight is amazing." Thorax said with his cheeks flushing slightly.

Thorax was about to stand up but then, the sound of somepony clearing his throat stopped him. Thorax looked up and saw Mitchell standing up in front of him.

"Oh hey there Mitchell." Thorax greeted with a wave of his hoof "How did you get here?" He asked.

"Oh well I just walked out of my room and followed you." Mitchell replied simply.

"Really?" Thorax asked, and Mitchell replied with a nod "Well that's interesting, and it's a good thing that Twilight didn't see you." He said as he stood up from the floor.

"Indeed." Mitchell agreed with a nod. Then, he decided to change the subject "Anyways Thorax, I have something to tell you privately." He told him.

"Really? Then let's take this in the meeting room." Thorax told him.

"Lead the way then your highness."

Thorax nodded and walked past Mitchell. After that, he began to lead him to the meeting room on the fourth floor.

Everfree forest

Back in the Everfree forest, Twilight Sparkle was seen returning to Ponyville after a romantic time with her special somepony Thorax. Although unfortunately she couldn't specify more about the incident that happened in Ponyville hours ago but, at least she did get cheered up a little from Thorax. He sure is a kind, brave, generous, wise and strong stallion.

"Thorax is such a sweetheart." Twilight said with a dreamy expression.

But suddenly, her daydreaming session was put to an end when Twilight bumped into a tree. And that resulted in her falling on the ground on her back.

"Ugh, just when I was having a nice daydream." Twilight said with an irked expression.

She then placed her hooves on the ground and pushed herself back up. After that, she patted some leaves and dirt off of her hooves.

"Okay, back to Ponyville." She told herself "And I guess I can't keep daydreaming otherwise I will get injured." She finished. After that, she ran into the Everfree forest on the track that leads back to Ponyville.

But unknown to her, there was a creature watching her from not too far.

Behind a tree was an Atlas soldier in an Armoured Support Transport mech suit spying on the purple unicorn with wings who was headed straight back to the town which was heading back to this so called town called Ponyville from what he had heard.

The soldier was sent by Jonathan Irons. And he was given specific orders to snatch some resources and food from the town that Gregory, Johnny, David and Benny encountered and fought in.

"Jackpot, now I just need to follow that purple unicorn thing and I will make it to town and fulfill my obligation." The Atlas soldier said to himself in a menacing tone. "All I need to do is to follow that purple thing." He told himself.

After that, he walked out of his hiding place and started to follow the track that the purple unicorn with wings is taking to Ponyville. During that, an apprehensive smile was forming in his mouth. That is an expression that he was ready for his mission.

"Horses of Ponyville, prepare to be maltreated by the one and only Atlas operative Joseph." Joseph said in a detrimental tone.

Back in the Changeling Hive, King Thorax and Jack Mitchell were seen talking about some topics that were based on Mitchell's mission before he was mysteriously sent to this land.

Mitchell had delineated about his nemesis Jonathan Irons atrocious plan to destroy the Earth with a biological weapon known as the 'Manticore'.

"Manticore?" Throax asked with a perplexed expression "What? Does he want the manticore to eat every single human beings?" He asked again. And he was referring to the manticores that exists in Equestria in the Everfree forest.

"Uh... no." Mitchell replied with A shake of his head "It's not an animal or whatsoever, it's a biological weapon." He corrected him.

"A biological weapon?" Thorax asked with another bewildered expression "Is it a relevance to science?" He asked again.

"Precisely." Mitchell said with a shrug "But, it can kill millions of people." He informed him.

When Thorax heard this, he was truly scandalized. He didn't know that a weapon like that could provoke such harm to these humans.

"Oh my."

"Yeah, and my priority right now is to hunt him down and to put an end to his vile plans." Mitchell told him.

"I see." Thorax said "And it would seem that you need some help, can I be your succour?" He asked.

"You want to help?" Mitchell asked with a raise of his eyebrow.

"Yes." Thorax replied with a nod "After all, that's what friends are for." He told him.

Mitchell began to ponder about this hypothetical situation for a bit. Tagging him along to the mission would be very frightening for him. And judging by his expression and structure, he doesn't look like he has any combat or military experiences. But, it was veracious that he needs some help.

"Okay Thorax, you can help me."

"Wonderful!"

But, before they could shake hand and hooves, a loud explosion was heard in the distance.

*BOOM!*

"Whoa! What was that?!" Mitchell exclaimed, he was startled by the explosion.

Thorax walked to the window of the meeting room and saw a long stream of black smoke coming out of Ponyville. Then, his eyes widened in horror.

"Oh no, Ponyville!"

"Pony what now?"

"No time to explain, I've got to save Twilight and her subjects!" He yelled. After that, he rushed to the meeting room doors and pulled them open. Then, he started to rush to the front doors of the Changeling Hive as quickly as possible.

"Thorax wait!" Mitchell yelled as he too also ran out of the meeting room. He then turned to his right and started to catch up to Thorax. Thankfully, he still has his weapons on him.

Saving Ponyville

"Ahhh! Everypony run!" Screamed a mare.

"A scary monster is killing us!" Screamed a stallion.

In Ponyville, the peaceful and friendly ponies of the cheerful town are facing genocide from an unknown metal creature. The metal creature was slaughtering all of them with a circular metal weapon that shoots out pointy metal projectiles that killed and maimed many of them. It also shot out some explosive projectiles that almost matched the speed of a wonderbolt flyer.

The metal beast is known as an Armoured Support Transport mech that was invented by the Atlas corporation. And inside the technology was an Atlas soldier known as Joseph.

"Muwahahaha!" Joseph laughed "You creatures are more frail than any enemies I have ever encountered!" He insulted.

"Guards! Detain it!"

Then, five unicorn guards ran up to the metal beast and pointed their spears at it while showing no signs of agitation towards it.

"Give up! Your outnumbered!"

When Joseph heard the threat, he shook his head in a disillusioned manner because of the guards temerarious statement and attempts.

"What is all this?" Joseph asked with an incredulous expression "You guys are terrible warriors." He insulted them.

When the guards heard the insult, they gritted their teeth in anger and prepared to attack. They aimed their spears forward and poked at the beast but, their wooden spears did not even inflict any damages to it.

"What in Equestria?" The guard asked with a traumatized expression.

"Your garbadge weapons are futile against my technology." Joseph told them in a hazardous tone "Now allow me to show ypu what my weapon can do!" He exclaimed as he held his mech's GAU-3/A machine gun up. Then, he fired at the five golden armoured unicorns.

*BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!*

The guards weren't even able to run away or react in time when projectiles from the metallic beast's weapon blew their heads up. After that, their headless bodies fell on the ground and they bled from their necks.

"Hahaha! No one can stop me now!"

At the other side of Ponyville, Twilight was seen hiding in an alleyway behind a house while looking at the metallic monster who has slaughtered and killed some of her subjects as well as stealing many of their resources. And the sight has horrified her completely.

"Oh my Celestia, that metallic beast is harming my subjects as well as stealing our resources." Twilight said to herself in shock "Me and Rarity have got to put an end to this chaos." She told herself. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy werent with her because, they have already taken refuge in someplace when the metallic beast arrived. But, Rarity was the only one still available.

"Rarity I ne-"

Twilight wasn't able to finish her sentence when she noticed that Rarity wasn't next to her anymore.

"Huh? Where did Rarity go?" Twilight asked with a bewildered expression.

Twilight then looked around the town in search for her friend. And when she looked to her left, she saw Rarity kneeling down and crying over at the sight of her devastated boutique shop and house.

"My shop! my house! It's ruined!" Rarity exclaimed. Then, she began to cry.

Twilight rolled her eyes in aggravation when she saw Rarity crying over the sight of her devastated shop as well as acting like a drama queen like she always does. Doesn't she know that her life is more valuable than precious and costly things? But, she does feel bad for her at the same time because, her shop is her home.

"Alright you monster, I'll make you pay for devastating our town as well as harming my subjects." Twilight said in a confident tone. After that, she walked out of her hiding place and ran towards the metallic beast.

At the top hill of Ponyville, King Thorax and Jack Mitchell have both arrived at the entrance of the town. When they did, they saw many things that scandalized them completely.

The town was in ruins as well as in flames.

"Oh my Celestia, the ponies!"

Mitchell scrutinized the town for a bit and saw that it was even more devastated than the last time he had a conflict with the four Atlas soldiers, he also saw some dead ponies lying in town as well. But, when he looked to his left, he noticed an Atlas soldier in an A.S.T suit battling the purple unicorn with wings he saw back in the Changeling Kingdom. And the purple pony seemed to have a disadvantage against the soldier.

"Oh no, Twilight!" Thorax yelled in horror as he took notice of the scene.

He then tried to run over and save her but, he was stopped when Mitchell grabbed him from his back stopping him in his tracks.

"Thorax wait, you can't just rush over there." Mitchell told him.

"Why?" Thorax asked "Twilight is in danger and I need to save her!" He exclaimed in a desperate tone.

"I know but, you're currently facing against one of my enemies." Mitchell informed him "And if you charge over there, you will be killed instantly." He said in a straight thinking tone.

Thorax took a sentence to think about Mitchell's words. After a brief moment, he has decided to listen to him.

"Okay, but what else do you have in mind that could help?" Thorax asked.

"With this." Mitchell said as he grabbed a tactical grenade out. He also cycled it into flash mode. And the sight has made Thorax bewildered.

Back in town, Twilight Sparkle was battling relentlessly against the metallic beast that was annihilating her town as well as killing many of her subjects. She has blasted many magical beams at the metallic beast but, it didn't seem to inflict any damages to it.

Joseph on the other hand was having an advantage against the purple unicorn with wings all thanks to his A.S.T suit which can withstand tons of bullets and some missiles. But, he was also getting a bit irked because, everytime he has fired bullets at the purple horse, it kept dodging by flying and teleporting.

"Grr, this purple freak is getting on my nerves." Joseph growled in an aggravated and enraged tone.

"How can a creature like him withstand my magic?" Twilight asked while taking some breaths. She has used too much of her strengths.

"This time you will die purple freak!"

"Bring it."

Joseph then aimed his chain gun forward and directly at the purple horse, while Twilight charged her horn.

But, before the human and alicorn could even make their moves, a yell was heard.

"Watch out Twilight!"

Twilight wasn't able to look to the source of the noise when somepony tackled her which made her grunt in return.

Then, a metal canister rolled in front of Joseph. After a brief second, a bright flash illuminated. That resulted in Joseph letting out a grunt and shielding his eyes.

Twilight and the figure tumbled forward a bit then came to a stop with her on the bottom. She looked up and saw Thorax on top of her.

"Thorax?" Twilight said with a nonplussed expression "How'd you get here?" She asked.

"Ah well, saw a black smoke streaming out of Ponyville and figured you were in trouble." Thorax replied as he got off of Twilight.

"Yeah, and who's that?" Twilight asked taking notice of Mitchell.

"A friend." Thorax replied simply, and that got Twilight surprised. She tried to ask him about this friend of his but, Throax immediately cut her off "No time to explain, I gotta get you to a safe shelter." He said as he helped her up. After that, Thorax began to bring Twilight to sugarcube corner for shelter.

"You?!"

"Yes me." Mitchell said in an composed tone. Then, Joseph decided to change the subject because, he didn't even cared about battling Mitchell.

"Get out of the way Mitchell!" Joseph demanded sternly "I have some resources to steal and ponies to kill." He told him.

"Well then, I can't let you have it your and Irons way." Mitchell told him. And that caught Joseph by surprise. How did Mitchell know that Irons was here? But, he did desire a battle.

"Well then, I was getting bored!" Joseph exclaimed.

Then, Joseph aimed his gun forward and attempted to shoot Mitchell. When Mitchell noticed this he ran past the soldier. And that resulted in Joseph having to lower his gun and turn around.

"Die!" Joseph yelled as he fired bullets at Mitchell.

Mitchell was able to duck into cover in time behind a house. And the bullets collided with the wall of the house.

"I can't just fire bullets at him." Mitchell said in a logical tone "The bullets won't even faze or stun the mech." He finished.

Mitchell began to ponder about this hypothetical situation for a bit. Right now, he needed some weapons of destruction in order to bring the A.S.T mech down. Then, he remembered that be had his grenades.

"Wait, my grenades." Mitchell said.

He then placed his assault rifle on the ground next to him and pulled out a lethal grenade. He then cycled it to smart mode.

"Hope this works." Mitchell said. After that, he pulled the pin of the grenade and threw it up in the air marking the target in the process.

The grenade floated up in the air with its thruster and flew towards it's target which was the A.S.T mech.

Joseph wasn't even able to spot the grenade because he was too focused on shooting at Mitchell who was hiding behind the house evading his bullets. Then, the grenade collided into his mech and exploded.

*BOOM!*

"Augh!" Joseph grunted as he was pushed back by the grenade. It made him fall down on his back as well.

After that, Mitchell got out of his hiding place and looked at the Atlas soldier with a satisfied expression on his face. A brief moment later, Joseph placed his mech's hand on the ground and pushed himself back out. After that, he looked back in front of him and saw Mitchell standing there. Then, he shot him an angry glare.

"Why you! You're going to pay for that!" Joseph yelled.

After that, he aimed his mech's left rocket blaster directly towards him.

When Mitchell noticed this, he aimed his assault rifle and focused on one of the missiles.

"This is for devastating the town, killing the ponies and attempting to kill millions of innocent people on Earth." Mitchell said. After that, he pulled the trigger on his assault rifle.

*BANG!*

The bullet flew out of the muzzle and flew at an incredible speed towards one of the missiles in the A.S.T suit. When the bullet made contact with one of the missile's, a huge explosion erupted.

*BOOM!*

The huge explosion made Mitchell shielding his eyes with his assault rifle, debris flew everywhere too and thankfully, none of them hit him. Twenty seconds later, everything returned back to normal.

Mitchell looked in front of him and saw an obliterated A.S.T mech with it's parts scattered everywhere. The explosion also caused some small fires to scorch the grass as well.

"Well that was easy." Mitchell joked in an amusing tone. After that, he walked up to the A.S.T mech to investigate it as well as to see if there are any helpful evidence for him to find Irons.

Once he got to it, he began to scrutinize it. But, all he found were parts and electrical circuits of the mech, the ponies stolen resources, bullets and a helmet from the Atlas operative.

"Great." Mitchell said in a disappointed tone "Guess I'll have to find Irons the hard way then." He told himself.

"Okay, time to get to Thorax." Mitchell said "He must be worried about m-"

Mitchell wasn't able to finish his sentence when he saw a shadow in front of him.

"Huh?" Mitchell said as he turned around. But, he was immediately met with a magic blast to the chest.

"Oooof!" Mitchell grunted as he was sent flying against a wall of a house. The impact was so strong that he got knocked out from the fall.

Princess Celestia one of Equestria's rulers has just arrived at Ponyville after hearing something about an attack happening there. Once she has arrived, she noticed a strange bipedal creature standing in the centre of town who she assume was the enemy.

"Time to make the creature pay for it's crime against my subjects."

Then, Celestia started to walk towards the bipedal creature. But, she wasn't even able to get close to it when Thorax came in and blocked her in her paths. Her student Twilight was next to him as well.

"Princess Celestia wait!" Thorax said.

"What are you doing Thorax?" Celestia asked "Step aside, I need to teach this creature a lesson on what happens if any creatures harm my subjects." She said bitterly.

"No you can't! He's not the enemy here."

"What do you mean?"

"Because he has saved the ponies here." Thorax replied, and that surprised Celestia.

"He what?"

"He saved the ponies." Thorax replied again "There was a metallic beast attacking Equestria and killing many ponies as well as stealing your resources. And this creature who is my friend barged in and put an end to it's vile ambitions while I rescued Twilight. At the end, you blasted him." He delineated the entire story.

Princess Celestia was extremely nonplussed, perplexed and shocked after she had heard the entire story Thorax stated to her. The creature she shot rescued Ponyville? He is Thorax's friend? And what kind of creature is it? But, it still cannot roam this town.

"Even if that is true, I can't let it roam around town." Celestia told him "I need to interrogate it in Canterlot." She finished.

Thorax wanted to objected about this but, he couldn't argue because, Celestia is the ruler here. And he didn't want to upset his Twily by refusing and objecting against Celestia's order.

"Okay Princess Celestia."

"Wonderful, now I need you to drag the creature to Canterlot."

"Got it." He said in a depressed tone.

After that, Thorax turned around and started to walk towards Mitchell. Once he got to him, he activated his horn and grabbed onto Mitchell's right foot.

"Sorry Mitchell." Thorax said.

Interrogating an operative

Celestia was drastically bewildered by the creature's statement. What is a United States Marines and an Atlas officer? On top of that, what is a United States? But, she pushed the questions out of her head and resumed the interrogation.

"And what are those specifically?" Celestia asked.

"I am just a normal guy fighting against terrorism and other enemies in order to protect my nation." Mitchell replied.

When Celestia heard this, she must assume that this creature must be a royal guard. But, it seems very tough and tall for a guard. And what does he mean by terrorism?

"What does terrorism mean?" Celestia thought with a perplexed expression. But, she pushed the question out of her head and resumed in the interrogation.

"Okay let's forget that and move on to the interrogation." Celestia said. "First question, what kind of creature are you?" She asked.

"I'm a human." Mitchell replied simply "Homo Sapiens." He added.

Celestia was once again perplexed by the creature's reply. What's a human? And a homo sapien?

"Care to elaborate?"

"Can't tell you much." Mitchell replied "But, all I can tell you is that me and my species are extremely intelligent." He added. And that got Celestia very nonplussed. But, she moved onto the next question.

"Okay next question, what was that metallic thing you fought in Ponyville?" Celestia asked "Twilight has stated that it was very strong." She told him.

When Mitchell heard the inquiry, she must assume that she was talking about the Armoured Support Transport mech.

"You mean the A.S.T mech?" Mitchell asked, but, Celestia gave him another perplexed expression. And Mitchell took that as a yes "That beast that attacked Ponyville was not an animal or anything. It is what is known as an Armoured Support Transport mech invented by the Atlas corporation." He told her.

Celestia was both astonished and perplexed by this. Not once in her life has she seen or heard of a technology like that before. And she doesn't know that a technology like that could provoke such destruction and harm.

"Can you tell me more about this technology?" Celestia asked with an eager expression to know.

"No, these informations are classified so, I cannot share it to you." Mitchell replied in a stern tone.

Celestia really wanted to know about this technology but, considering the stern expression that she is currently seeing on the creature right now, she must assume that he was getting extremely irked. So, she has decided to move on to the next inquiry.

"Okay then." Celestia said with a depressed sigh "My next question, how exactly does Thorax know you mister Jack Mitchell?" She asked him.

When Thorax heard Celestia's inquiry, his eyes widened because, he was the one who brought him to the Changeling Kingdom. He looked at Mitchell for a second and noticed that he has no way to answer her question so, he decided to expose the truth.

"Princess Celestia." Thorax called her.

"Yes Thorax?" Celestia asked looking at the Changeling King.

"Uh... I have something to tell you."

"And that is?"

Thorax took a deep breath and said "I was the one who brought him into the Changeling Kingdom."

Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence and the mane six all gasped when they heard this. Thorax was the one who brought him into the Changeling Kingdom?

"Why Thory?" Twilight asked.

"Well, it's because one of the Changeling farmers found him and brought him to me. When I saw it bleeding severely, I brought him to the Changeling Hive hospital so that the doctors could treat him." Thorax delineated the entire story.

The princesses and the mane six were left with an astonished and perplexed expression after Thorax had delineated the entire story. He was the one who brought him into his own Kingdom? Twilight also thought that this Jack Mitchell was in one of the guest room's of the Changeling Kingdom considering that noise she heard.

"So you were hiding Jack Mitchell from me huh?" Twilight asked with a raise of her eyebrow.

"Oh well uh... I didn't want you to freak out Twily."

"Freak out?" Twilight asked "It is my duty to interrogate any unknown creatures that roam around Equestria Thorax." She told her.

Thorax was now feeling extremely edgy right now because, his special somepony was now starting to get angry at him for keeping a secret from her. But, before she could even teach him a lesson, Celestia proceeded with the interrogation.

"Okay let's resume the interrogation." Celestia said. Then, she looked back at the Mitchell "How did you get here mister Mitchell?" She asked.

"I don't remember much, but I can tell you." Mitchell told her. Then, she began to listen "I was on a mission with my buddy Gideon and we were stopping a rogue man named Jonathan Irons who is the founder and CEO of the private military corporation, Atlas Corporation. He has planned to destroy my planet with a biological virus weapon. So, it all came down to me and Gideon to stop him. After we have destroyed the launch base, me and my friend were confronted by Jonathan and his men. A portal then came out of nowhere and boom, that's how we're transported here." He delineated the entire story.

Celestia was flabbergasted and shocked by Mitchell's story. Who is this Jonathan Irons? And what is this biological weapon that he has planned to unleash back in his world?

"Wait, when you said we're, do you mean that your enemy is also here?"

"Yes, precisely." Mitchell replied with A nod "And it is all up to me to find and stop him." He told her.

Celestia was appalled by this, if his enemy is here then that means that her subjects would be menaced and harmed by him. She was going to ask him more questions but, she noticed that it was almost nighttime.

"Oh, it's almost night now, I need to raise the moon." Luna told her sister. After that, she stood up and teleported.

"We'll end the interrogation here." Celestia said. Then, she looked at Thorax and the mane six "Feel free to stay in the guest rooms everypony." She told them.

The mane six and Thorax nodded and all walked out of the throne room. After that, they all started to walk to the guest rooms.

"Guards, please bring this creature back into the dungeons."

"As you wish your majesty."

After that, the guards started to bring Mitchell back into the dungeons.

In the guest room hallways, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie all said good night to each other and entered their guest rooms to sleep and prepare for the bug day tomorrow.

Thorax was going to enter his as well but, he stopped when he noticed Twilight entering her's with an angry expression probably because of his selfish act towards her.

"I have to make it up to her."

Then, Thorax walked to Twilight's guest room door. Once he got to it, he gripped onto the handle with his magic and pushed it open. After that, he entered.

Twilight looked to her room door and saw Thorax entering.

"What are you doing here Thorax?" Twilight asked in a bitter tone.

"You're angry."

"You think?!" Twilight asked with an infuriated expression "You tricked me and kept a secret from me!" She exclaimed.

"Twily." Thorax tried to calm her down but, she tucked herself in a blanket and lied down on her bed while facing away from him.

When Thorax noticed this, he walked up to her bed and climbed on it. After that, he looked down at her.

"Listen Twily I was just scared that you would freak out when you meet the creature." Thorax told her "All I did was trying to keep you safe from confrontations and violence, I also did a little interrogation with the creature." He finished.

When Twilight heard his words, she began to ponder. It is true that she would freak out like she always does when she meets and sees something new.

Thorax was going to get up and leave when he noticed that Twilight was mad at him. But, he wasn't able to when Twilight pinned him onto the bed with her hooves and climbed on top of him.

"You're forgiven my Thory." Twilight said softly. After that, she leaned in and kissed him on the lips. And Thorax kissed back.

But unknown to them, there was an invisible drone spying on them through a window.

Back in the cave where Jonathan Irons and his men were sheltering in. Irons was starring at a tablet that showed what the drone was seeing. And they came through a town filled with lots of natural resources and precious stuffs.

"What's the play boss?" A soldier asked.

"Siege the city." Irons replied in a cold tone.

Meeting the rulers

"Ugh... what happened?" Mitchell asked as he slowly opened his eyes. At first, his visions were blurry but, when they worked again, Mitchell noticed that he was looking at a door. "What the? Where am I?" He asked again.

Mitchell then scrutinized his surroundings and noticed that he was being held in a dark room with only one bed on the left side, a toilet with a single roll of toilet paper next to it, and a single light bulb on the roof that was flickering a bit.

"Is this a jail cell?" Mitchell asked himself. He then studied his surroundings and saw that he was indeed in a jail cell. But, it is slight less advanced compared to the one that he had been held in back in Atlas.

"I need to get out of here." Mitchell told himself. But, just as he looked down on him, he noticed that his hands were cuffed, and his guns were missing too. "What the?! Where are my stuffs?!" Mitchell exclaimed.

He then started to look around the place in search for his weapons but, they weren't even around.

"Great." Mitchell said with a roll of his eyes "Whoever captured me must've stripped everything away from me." He added.

Then, Mitchell has decided to do things his way. He has decided to step up, kick the door down with force. But, before he could even stand up, a voice from outside stopped him.

"It's awake captain."

"Good, let's bring him to the Princess."

After that, the door to Mitchell's cell was pulled open. He looked in front of him and saw a white coloured male unicorn in purple armour walking towards him.

"Who the heck are you?" Mitchell asked.

"My such an impudent behaviour." Shining Armor commented. Then, he began to introduce himself "I am Shining Armor, captain of the Royal guards." He introduced himself.

When Mitchell heard this, he raised an eyebrow in confusion because, this thing seemed very soft for a captain. And judging by the expression, he can easily see that he is a very moronic pony.

"Captain of the Royal guards?" Mitchell thought with an incredulous expression "He looks nothing like Gideon." He added in an unamused way.

When Shining Armor took notice of the creature's expression, he must assume that it was currently making fun of him. At first, he was a bit angry but, he forced himself to calm himself down because, he has a duty to fulfill for Princess Celestia. So, he changed the subject.

"Anyways, that should be it for our conversation." Shining Armor told him "I need to take you to see the Princess. And I need you to show her some respect when meeting her." He ordered.

Mitchell was perplexed by his statement. When in the world did he have a conversation with him? And who is this Princess Celestia? But, his pondering session was put to an end when Shining Armor forced him up by menacing him with his spear.

Mitchell then bregrudingly stood up from the ground and Shining Armor lead him out of his cell. After that, he began to guide him to Princess Celestia's throne room with two guards keeping an eye on him in case of any escape attempts.

Mitchell scrutinized the pony in front of him and saw that he has a key on the left side of hid flank, he must assume that the key was for his cuffs.

"Gotta get that key." Mitchell thought in his mind. But, he awaited for the perfect time.

After walking out of the dungeon and walking through a hallway for seven minutes, Shining Armor and his two guards have reached the throne room doors. But before Shining Armor decides to open it, he looked back at the creature.

"Be ready creature, the Princesses are behind these doors." Shining informed him. But, Mitchell disregarded him.

Then, Shining Armor pushed the two doors open and he, Mitchell and the two guards all entered the throne room.

Once they were in, Mitchell looked around the room and saw that it was extremely fancy like a luxurious mansion. Mitchell looked to his left and saw Thorax, Twilight and five other female multi coloured horses looking at him. The six females were looking at him with disoriented expressions while Thorax was looking at him with a concerned expression. Mitchell also noticed that his guns were placed on a table on his right.

Mitchell then looked in front of him and noticed two very unique ponies sitting on thrones. On the left there was a dark blue unicorn with wings with dark textures streaming from its hair and mane, and on the right there was a white coloured unicorn with wings, it also had a rainbow streaming from its hair and mane.

Once Mitchell was lead to the middle of the room, Shining Armor and the two guards decided to halt him and he did. After that, Shining Armor walked up to him.

"Kneel before the Princess!" Shining ordered the creature sternly. But, it ignored him.

When Shining noticed this, he immediately kicked the creature's knee but, it did not kneel down.

Then, Mitchell responded with a round kick to the guard's face. The force of his kick knocked Shining Armor's teeth out and he was sent crashing into the right wall.

"Shiny!"

Then, the two guards behind him both surrounded him and aimed their spears at him.

"Guards stand down." Princess Celestia ordered.

The guards did what they were told and lowered their spears. But, they proceeded to be on caution of the creature by standing behind it in case if it tries to escape.

"Hello creature, I assume that you're the one who I knocked out in Ponyville is that correct?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Correct." Mitchell replied simply.

"Okay then, my name is Celestia, I am the ruler of Equestria." Celestia introduced herself "And this right here is my sister Luna." She introduced her sister to him.

"And you are?"

"My name is Jack, Jack Mitchell, former United States Marines and Atlas officer." Mitchell introduced himself.
