(Daybreaker POV)

I never thought I would ever accept subservience, I believed myself the superior being. But as I stare at little Sarah, her drive and endless determination as well as power make me glad to work under somepony greater. Sarah was standing on Rainbow’s head, I was flying near the Dragons and Griffons as part of the aerial division.

Discord was also floating nearby, she had given him a chance to prove himself. Applejack and Apple Bloom were leading two group of the ground forces. Apple Bloom is confident and driven for one so young. Sarah shouted giving the order, I dove down firing blasts solar fire across the ground.

I watched as the Royal Guard divisions started to mobilise. I blasted a group of unicorns as Rainbow blasted a group of Earth Ponies with her lightning. Sarah tore apart a pack of Pegasi as she soared through the skies. Meteors rained from the sky striking at specific places, Discord was proving useful destroying obstructions to the ground forces movements.

I crashed into a squad transporting supplies, I wipe the guards out allowing our Apple Bloom’s squad to claim the supplies. She gave me a quick hug before running off with her squad. I flew off into the distance, blowing up things was still fun but that hug bothered me. I always wanted to be a mother, but I never could as long as I was trapped in Celestia but now.

I could become a parent, raise a foal of my own. I may have a happy future ahead of me, that spurred me on. I crashed through blockade after blockade, fire and screaming guards filling the air. It wasn't long before the guards in the city were wiped out, we had complete control of the city. A stallion and a mare approached us both had oranges for cutie marks.

I watched as Applejack reverted back to normal and approached them, she started crying “Uncle and Aunt Orange.” Apple Bloom galloped over joining Applejack, Sarah gestured us to leave so they could have their reunion in peace.

I followed Sarah to our hideout, Discord and Rainbow flying alongside me. I frowned “So what’s our next move.”

Sarah turned to me “We need start recruiting more forces and fortifying our position. Our enemy is now aware of us and if we are to achieve victory we need trained soldiers. The gang members are strong but none of them have completed full military training. You are the best person for training such soldiers, you are the only person with combat experience.”

I nodded “Very well, I will begin by training the gang members.” In a couple of hours I got the entire gang in front of me, I stood in front of them. I growled “Form lines, row by row equal space apart. We will attempt this until you get it down!” I gritted my teeth, many of them couldn’t even stand in formation. The Minotaurs were able to stand in formation.

I frowned “Minotaurs, come closer and form ranks!” I frowned, they were all able to line up perfectly. I guess that is the benefit of all Minotaurs being trained in combat since they were calves, I glared at the others “I expect you to be able to do formations like that! If you can’t move as a unit then you will die, our enemy will outnumber us so formation will save your damn lives!”

I hated their incompetence, thankfully there were no complaints. They weren’t trained yet but their common sense worked at least. Sarah approached me “How fairs the training?’

I sighed “Most of them save the Minotaurs are useless, they can’t even hold formation. Still that was better than what I expected, there at least some who can help me whip them into shape. I will assure that by the time we move out that will be a cohesive unit even if I had to kill a few to make a point. War is a matter of life and death.”

Sarah nodded “I have sent Discord to discreetly sabotage their military, Applejack and Apple Bloom are trying to find more recruits. As for Rainbow she is patrolling the borders of the city while we await the construction of the fortifications to defend the city.”

I grinned “Well I better get back to training these losers otherwise nothing is going to get done. I promise you they will be ready.” Sarah gave me what she called a thumbs up and walked away, probably to check on the others.

(Discord POV)

I chuckled to myself, I was watching one of the Equestrian caravans which was full of weapons and armour. I clicked my claws, the ground under the caravan turned to quicksand. Several guards desperately tried to pull it out. I clicked my fingers again, swarms of flying piranhas descended on the guards eating them alive.

I then teleported the caravan back to the hideout, Sarah would sure enjoy that. I then teleported into a the main barracks in Canterlot. The bulk of the guards the nation had to offer were stationed here. I was about he size of a rat which made it easy to sneak around the barracks. I clicked my fingers summoning poisonous snakes and giant spiders all throughout the barracks.

I teleported into one of the trees, watching as guard were bitten and tied up in silk. Every time they killed one of the snake of spiders two lives version of each creature emerged from the corpse. Soon the entire barracks was empty save the corpses of guards, I clicked my fingers dispelling the creatures leaving the base in shambles.

I watched as several of castle guards, accompanying Princess Luna ran into the base. I giggled Luna tried to find any signs of life, she would not. This was the most interesting turn of events and I am incredibly grateful to be part of such chaos. This will cause such an uproar, I teleported away returning to the hideout only to see Sarah inspecting the weapons in the cart. She approached me “Good work Discord.”

I smirked “A pleasure, I even destroyed most of their forces in Canterlot. They will not be able to put up much resistance.”

Sarah gave me a thumbs up “Good job, Discord. This will aid in our efforts.” I giggled, this was going to be so much fun.

With this takeover done I will go over to the perspective of everyone else for the next chapter.
