What if Alex couldn't get online

Luna (V.O): Last time on Alicorn King

Smiling Luna says, "Twilight Sparkle let me introduce Alexandrite Obsidian Twilight, my husband. "

"Husband!!!"

"SHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" PINKIE hissed. "You'll wake the foals." Her days taking care of cake twins coming to the fore.

Alex groaned as he got up. He softly flapped his and caped them before looking about. He noticed that save for Luna and the pair in bed, everyone was bowing. Twilight & Pinkie were staring wide eyed at him in surprise. "My lord," Rarity said, "Please forgive us for not,..."

Crystal walked in covered in soot and smelling of hot metal. 5th "WHERE IS SHE!" she shouted while her horns were glowing casting a sound blocker on the foals. "WHERE'S THE DRAGONLORD!"

Alex groaned and muttered, "And another problem crops up. If you're talking about Barb, She's in the kitchen cooking dinner for the castle population. What's the matter, Crystal?"

"Who is this and why does she look like me?!" Twilight shouted.

"Crystal Controller." Crystal said. "Barb is someone special to me. I don't know why but I need to meet her."

"Twilight," Alex commented, "I think why you two look so much alike can wait. What we need now is to restore Castle Everfree and the lost city of Everfree."

"Plus I got to throw a "Welcome to Equis Prince Alexandrite "Alex" Obsidian Twilight and late foalshower for me & Twilight." Pinkie Pie chirped.

Alex smiled at Pinkie's comment as he had worried that aspect of her personality was not rebooted.

"That's King Alex Obsidian." Crystal said. "He's my fiance and the King of Atlantis as I am the blood descended Queen."

Alex rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment as he said, "I was hoping to ease them into my royal status. " He said with his cheeks slightly red. "Anyhow one plan was to locate the other alicorns then absorb them into my herd."

"Darling that wouldn't be possible Cadence is married, and Flurry Heart is a foal." Rarity said.

Alex nodded. "In Flurry Heart and her parents' case, they'll become my wards as both adults currently can't make rational decisions without caribou aid."

Alex felt a strange sensation. Closing his he felt the presence of companies of soldiers, mostly caribou Rangers with pony subtypes as scouts. He could tell they were searching for something or someone.

Alex's gaze grew stern as got ready to deal with the Intruders.

As the Two companies moved into the Everfree Forest the ponies became increasingly nervous.

"Sir those crystal beasts wiped out your scouts and you called in us to replace them. We just found that they replaced the one you destroyed and six more popped up! Not to mention that Cragadiles have started to follow them around!" The stallion said. "While we're glad that you instated Everfree patrols you're crazy if you think that we should go deeper without a full battalion."

Suddenly, plunder vines erupted from the ground and corralled the patrol. A few moments later a set of four crystals grew out of the ground and an energy mist appeared in the space outlined by them. A 3D shadow of a male alicorn appeared. "Dain doesn't rule here, which means you are Trespassing. Leave the Everfree Forest and if your willingly loyal to Dain Stonehoof the coward, and usurper of the Celestial Sisters never return. Oh. And so you know I mean business." One of the plundervine scooped up the leader of the second company and second in command of the patrol with its flytrap head"and slithered away north before heading to the castle.

The crystal crumbled and the vines withered away releasing the patrol.

"We won't run! None of your tricks will work, Shaman!" The main leader shouted. "We go deeper, I shall hear no complaints. And to make sure of this our king gifted me a very special weapon, the halberd of Sunslut herself!" He shouted as he channeled his own magic into the solar weapon activating the enchantments to ignite the blade in solar plasma before swinging the weapon to burn a path to the river 500 yards ahead. "This weapon's power can defeat the Moonslut and destroy any crystals in its wake. Considering whom we are supposedly up against, Lord Danin thought it prudent to give us the overwhelming advantage."

Suddenly, the vegetation grew back and cut them off from the sunlight. Then a voice from everywhere yet nowhere asked, "DO you have the magic reserves of an alicorn? I think not. You can keep it as long as you can use it. Oh! Until you beat me there won't be enough sunlight to help keep it charged and you only have your meager reserves. How long can you keep it up before magic exhaustion sets in?"

The Caribou burst out laughing. "I said my king gave me an overwhelming advantage and I meant it! You see, whoever you are, my reserves only ignite the enchantments. The weapon itself is linked to a certain Starslut to draw upon. Considering the cunt can match the Alicorn of magic in a fight of raw power, I'm pretty sure I can drain her for a long time before I use my own reserves and if it gets to that point her blood is on your hands!"

Suddenly, spikes of stone, wood, & crystal erupted from the ground impaling him and a group of golems charged through the undergrowth as a silhouette wreathed in black fire landed next to the twitching body. "Leave before We get serious." It said a grey metallic spear with glowing blue runes and crystal visible through the fire. "Now!" It said slamming the butt of the spear on the ground for emphasis, the action also made the golems arms turn to scalpel sharp swords pointed at the survivors.

"Fuck this! Retreat!" The second in command said as the group turned tail.

The Caribou ordering the group turned to the Earth pony scout and just nodded the look on his face grim but determined. As if to say, "you were right we needed more troops." "Once we get back to Ponyville we round up a full legion and burn that forest to the ground from the sky!" He said. "Hopefully an aerial bombardment will be safer."

Crystal picked up the Halberd as a new golem formed. "So that's how they came to be. Useful knowledge," the mare smacked the butt of her weapon on the ground once more allowing all of the golems to return to their normal state. "This will definitely help with Alex's plans." Quickly she took to the air flying back to the Castle.

Alex sat down and began to do meditation as he began to plan Celestia's Rescue and the taking of Ponyville.

Taking Ponyville made good tactical sense. As a rail nexus, taking it out of Dain's control would give them fast access to the rest of Equestria and cut Danin off from the support the mountain citadel and city would need. The Crystal Cock needs to be located, captured and purified back into the crystal Heart. But there were important things like housing their forces. They were probably wanting more than tents to sleep in. With this in mind he flew to the center of the ruins of Everfree City.

After taking a moment of meditation his horn, Mane, and fingernails began to glow. He then began to dance, the glow of his fingernails began leaving glowing lines from his hands. As he danced the golden lines flowed from him and to the limits of the city , and music from the song dream to dream began.

As the lines drifted through the city, streets became unclogged & clear. The buildings were reformed using trees, rocks, and crystals. The two tallest were a dedicated airship dock and Central defense Tower. Once finished Alex sat down to rest.

Crystal landed saying, "Nice work." She then spun the solar halberd before adding, "Think Luna will like this?"

Alex smiled and said, "She will. The fact it's out of caribou control will make her giddy." He then got up and started to slowly fly to the castle as he said, "We got a new prisoner to question. You want a new servant?"

"Sure but I want to talk about the mirror first." Crystal said. "We could use the tech and reinforcements. If we can, I suggest recruiting ourselves."

"We won't be able to recruit human me." Alex mused. "I was brought from a different human world. Plus to even get access to it we'll either have to raid Ponyville or annex it."

"Not really," Crystal said, beckoning him with a wave of her hand. "Before I left to take care of the idiots I asked Twilight a couple of things about her castle. She mentioned it had been grown from a seed from the Tree of Harmony which is below the city in the gorge. I have an idea that since the Tree has been confirmed to be sentient we can ask if it will take us to its offspring to protect it. It might have a way to do that discreetly, considering it's a mother-daughter situation. I think that might be the best bet then we can annex Ponyville back into the Equestrian Union from there, make it our forward staging ground and such."

Alex thought about it and said, "Gather up a unit and retrieve that mirror and the journal and get back. I am going to attempt to summon my Fearunian Spellbook to me in the meantime."

Two screens opened up in front of the gamers. Crystal's read. "Side quests available! Go to the human Equiss! All actions in this world will be desynchronized with the main timeline allowing no time to pass there."

"Convenient!" She said before looking to the fourth wall. "Betcha didn't think I had my own DLC!" Turning to Alex she asked "what does yours say?" Looks like I got DLC of My own.

Alex looked. It read "Side quests available, Recover personal spellbook, Acquire access to the Viator Vault (Retrieve airship blueprint from archive),Reforge Orderkeeper (optional).

"Hmm looks like I'll have a chance to access my Family's Vault."

Crystal and Alex returned to the castle. They found the caribou that had been captured in the Interrogation cell. He Cast the same spell on this prisoner then said, "Your vine bindings will allow you to eat and sleep but you'll be placed on the wall for Interrogation. Enjoy your limited freedom. "

The King and Queen then separated to get their respective tasks done.

"Twilight?" Crystal asked Barb following her "Get Pinkie and the kids we're going to visit Sunset."

Twilight nodded then got a worried look. "How're we going to get to Sunset?" She asked. The Mirror is still in my castle in Ponyville."

"Your Castle is the child of the Tree of Harmony which you know is a living sentient being. I'm thinking that by asking The Tree if we can travel to your castle without teleportation." Crystal said "Also I have an idea that she might know why I look like you."

"Yippee!!!" Pinkie says as she jumps from behind Crystal, wearing a baby sling with her foal in it, "Roadtrip!" A few moments later three teen mares all of which were pregnant jogged up wearing baby Slings with Twilight's foals in them.

"Girls calm down." Crystal said. "We need to prepare for timedesync. My powers will allow us to raise the kids a bit while we're there and allow us to train our skills."

Alex nodded saying, "Please be sure the caribou don't learn of what's on the other side." He then walked off.

"Don't plan on it my King." Crystal said small black flames sparkling all over her body in response to the mere thought of it. "Now girls I'll give you a few hours to get ready. Also before we leave, grab your elements. Having them on you will give you some of your abilities in that world."

Meanwhile, halfway the Everfree Forest, five airships carrying the town's entire caribou population and a few ponies slowly glide towards that dark forest. On the bow the leader of this mission to raze the Everfree after the failed mission retrieve the bearers of the elements of harmony after the fool auctioneer sold the entire group for a rod of pure orichalcum. He must've been listening to his greed to let them all go to the same bidder.

A buck ran up to him and said, "Sir? There is something shiny above the treetops near the center." This caused him some concern. The young buck handed him a telescope and pointed in the direction to look. Peering through he saw what appeared to be a disk with a pulsing dome. "I see it." He commented. He would've said more when he noticed the pulsing was speeding up. Suddenly, a beam leaped out of the dome.

"*KABOOM!!!*"

An explosion at the rear of the formation! Looking He saw the last airship in line plummeting to it's doom. He could see figures gliding to the ground each with a passenger that was too small to be a Caribou.

Then it clicked, the airships all had one thing in common, airbags filled with gas obtained from water. Another beam, another airship lost it's airbag. The resistance camp had built a fort and they waited until the last airship was in range before they attacked.

He closed his eyes as he felt the airship began to descend. These resistance fighters had played them as fools. A wave of heat and the feeling of weightlessness told him that his ship had lost it's airbag.

He readied himself for Valhalla as he whispered, "Good Play my foe."

The hull of his airship slammed into the ground, killing him.

The next week was full of action & surprises. It began when Crystal, Pinkie, Twilight and the pregnant mares & fillies left to visit Sunset. The moment Twilight set foot in her castle the crystal inside became colored the same shade of Lavender as Twilight's coat, creating a discreet path leading to the mirror portal, whilst concealing the path from the Caribou.

The survivors of the failed aerial assault gathered near the wreck of the lead ship. The caribou survivors found themselves out numbered by the pony survivors. A couple of hours later the pony survivors formed up and began marching into the Everfree with the intention of joining the resistance headquartered there.

The three hundred moved from the castle into Old Canterlot and renamed it to Everfree City.

Soon after their arrival Barb followed Crystal and the Elements, thinking the group might have been captured but upon reaching the mirror a note on the frame said "Elements will be trained for 6 years! Be back soon!" This caused the Dragoness to leap through.

Alex created a door that leads to the Viator Vault in a closet, then retrieved a box with a shattered mithril/Orichalcum sword.

For the rest of the week Alex reforged the sword into a pair of sabers.

A day before the end of the week Alex snuck into Twilight's castle and retrieved the mirror, taking it back to the Castle of the Two Sisters, placing it in the throne room.

When the seventh day arrived, Alex was waiting for the elements and both his wives to return with his children (Alex adopted Twilight's children) and hoped they wouldn't hate him for not being a part of their lives.

The mirror spat out an orange alicorn who stumbled a bit, their center of gravity shifted thanks to the semi-ethereal nature of their wings of fire and their extra long flaming tail. "Damnit!" They shouted falling forward but getting stopped before they landed flat on their muzzle. "Wasn't expecting those!"

Next two of each pony walked out. Twilight and her twin, Dash and hers, the two Pies, both Breezes, all the Apples and their Brother, the Belle siblings, and Both Scoots bringing up the rear.

"Man, can you believe that Crystal is Clover, Head of the Department of Extra Natural defense!" Twily the slightly smaller lavender Alicorn declared. " I mean I know that your Clover the Clever was around over a thousand years ago on your side. I kind of figured ours was around now considering Celestia and Luna are over a thousand years old in this world but I had no idea she looks so much like me and that we are directly related!"

"Believe me now I'm glad I actually played her in the Hearth's warming play." Twilight admitted "You know she went by the alias Smart Cookie most of the time while on missions, that's where the confusion stems from in the hearth's warming stories on your world."

"Erhem." Alex said muffled from in between Sunset's breasts. "Correct me if I'm wrong (and most likely am) but Smart Cookie was among the Earth Ponies." Drawing attention to himself, Alex backed up allowing Sunset to see him and said, "Now what is a vision of Loveliness doing coming Out of The mirror. "

"Uh?" Sunset said blushing "I lived here for 23 years, who are you?"

Alex set his horn a glow with a prismatic aura, spread his wings and bowed saying, "I am Alexandrite Obsidian of the Viator clan at your service. As for how I got here you can blame Buhe's curse upon my Family."

"Discord?" Sunset asked. "He should be reformed."

Alex snorts replying, "His first defeat was 15,000 years ago at the hands of progenitor of my Clan and his placing the curse on my family is nothat at the time he wasn't."

He looks about and says "Where is everyone else? "

"Sorry everyone." Crystal said as she stepped through the portal in military gear. "The Barbs and the kids were saying goodbye to Velvet and Cadance."

A few moments later a herd of young fillies & colts numbering thirteen came barreling out the first tripping over their oversized wings the rest landing in a pile of squirming bodies, followed by two dragons and three figures that had a pink glow emanate from between the boobs.

"Dagi you were supposed to stop them from rushing!" The blue ponified siren said. "Now we got this pile of cute little morsels!" A pinkish glow was pulled from the foals and the mares before being absorbed into the sirens' pink gems.

Alex moved away from Sunset and crosses his arms and glared at the sirens. "You 3 were banished from Equestria by The pillars of harmony which were led by Starswirl the bearded for Is being a threat to the ponies." He said. "The time between now and then is enough for a just punishment so you are now welcome to Equestria. Welcome home citizens, unfortunately you must be informed the caribou invaded and took control over much Of the nation thanks to mind control using a corrupted & possessed artifact. Will you help free Equestria?"

As he was talking to the sirens the children untangled themselves and went to their mothers.

"Turns out their feeding habits were negatively affecting them just as they were others, feeding off of negativity was basically the equivalent of alcohol for humans or salt for ponies." Crystal mentioned. "With the help of my counterpart in Sunset's world we were able to purify the remaining shards of their gems and give them the ability to feed off of all of emotions instead of just negativity, basically they have become the 'changelings of the sea' that they were supposed to be in the first place. I also figured that if mind control is being used to harm others, using mind control to fix the problem might actually be a good idea. If we had Starlight around I wouldn't have even thought of this as she has literal mind control spells that she could use but that bastard said that they had her stuck in Canterlot."

Alex nods. "The world I was taken from had legends of the sirens. In most their songs hypnotized sailors and lured them to their doom on the rocks. One legend tells the hero, Ulysses had to sail by the Island they laired on. So he had his crew put wax in their ears and lash him to the main mast. I forget what happened next in the tale. Strangely there no Tales that reveals their final fate." He thoughtfully mused. "I wonder if they got off that island or they died there."

Alex then realized just who he hadn't heard speak. "Uh where's Aria?"

The alicorn got his answer when a purple mass rammed into him from above accompanied by a squeal of joy. "Oh my gosh your so cute but so Metal! I love it!"

"Huh, I guess fate really wants you to have your head between boobs." Crystal said, realizing the running gag that Alex was now trapped in. "Ari don't suffocate our husband even though that's a fine way to go."

Alex carefully and unintentionally pressed his palms against Aria's tits and pushed away pleasurably squashing the siren's boobs. "Oops." Alex says with his face looking like a tomato. Rarity, Sweetie Belle, and anyone who has an eye for detail world've noticed a slight bulge
the others and said, " I assume Crystal has informed all of you that I'm forming a Royal herd. Meaning all those who have ascended to the alicorn tribe I'm trying to marry to protect them".

Upon noticing the seamstress' reaction Adagio explained, "If you had lived your whole life underwater you would understand that wearing clothes slows you down. That's why I don't like wearing them all the time. Now don't get me wrong, I love certain articles of clothing. I just never got over having to wear them every single minute of every single day outside of private life in the human world." The mare turned to Alex. "While we aren't exactly alicorns we're still as Immortal as them, about 3 years ago Crystal inducted us into the herd mostly thanks to Sonata."

Alex nodded, then asked not realizing his hands were still on Aria's tits, "I came originally from another human world that had stories of sirens. I was wondering if you could guess what their fate might've been as there are no stories on their final fate."

"Eh?" Aria said "We did the same thing but Odysseus just passed us by. We left that Island not long after heading to the mainland with what little energy we had, it used up the rest of our equestrian magic at the time to use our flying forms. Trapping us in our younger bodies until equestrian magic was reintroduced into that world. Unless there was a portal that could be opened just like the one here, I would think your Sirens had a similar fate and might still be around in that world."

Alex noticed the muscle tone on all of the females. "Took me a bit to notice but have all of you been working out?"

"That was my fault." Crystal said with a sheepish grin. "I explained that while they had superpowers, if they really wanted to fight against the Caribou they had to get back in shape and into even better shape than they were before. So for the first few years outside of establishing identities I had the girls trained in many l martial arts with Rainbow Dash's Sensei of that world, while also improving their physical bodies. I actually gained muscle and strength outside of my gamer ability."

Alex used his magic to bring a stool to him and after sitting down guiding Aria to his lap said, "Okay the alicorns, sirens, and I'll consummate being part of the Royal Herd by getting intimate. Earth ponies, Pegasus, & Unicorns discuss among yourselves if you choose to join, your going to have to risk getting pregnant on your first night if you do. For those of you who have children, I'll adopt them." He then stood up, scooping up Aria into being carried bridal style. "Now it's getting late, we have a major raid go plan, one that'll shake the caribou's while boosting freepony morale. The raid on Canterlot and the rescue of Celestia."

"Thanks for the massage hon." Aria said. "While I enjoy being a wet nurse, it sure gets my girls sore sometimes."

The next morning, everyone except the children who were in the restored city at school under Cheerilee, were seated at a large round table. There were buckets near Seline's, Luna's, Both Twilights, and the siren's seats. Pony Twilight was feeling good as the mare got a sensual time something she should've got her first time, not the rough mating she had gotten from the stallions under caribou influence. Twi was staring at her belly with a mixture of wistful hope and panic. The sirens had smug gins and satisfied looks on their faces. Dagi let out a burp then said, "Sorry I was third in line and the room was thick with food, I barely left some for my sisters. At the mention of food everpony that had a bucket next to them picked it up and puked into them.

Alex coughed into his fist. Then said, "One week ago the Caribou attempted to burn the Everfree from the air. They sent a legion to troops 90% caribou 10% pony in five airships. They learned that hydrogen airbags and lasers don't mix. That loss from what guards ponies who've joined us informed us that was the first defeat of their forces."

Alex looked around the room. "Up until then the caribou have been undefeated so their morale is high and pony morale is low and got the ponies to doubt their way of life which is why the caribou's mind control wave was able to do the damage it did."

"Now all of us are going to use these to assault the capital." Crystal said, pulling out multiple pistols and AK-47s from her inventory. "These are not the real thing, they are replica Airsoft rifles and pistols loaded with chili pepper rounds and non-lethal plastic pellets. All of the girls have trained in firearms across the portal." Crystal handed the weapons to the girls. "I know Alex and I can shoot worth a damn as well. But I still don't want to risk accidental death so I'm going to give me and Alex the only lethal weapons we will be carrying. Especially since we can just reload straight from our inventory giving us a distinct Advantage when it comes to carrying lethal firearms. The rest of the troops will be carrying more traditional weapons such as crossbows and swords but I want us to have a distinct technological advantage so I also bought a lot of hunting crossbows and carbon fiber Arrows with lethal broad tips and stunning tips. There's no way to overdo it with prep in my opinion."

Alex then pulls a key out of his inventory. "There are a couple of things that will put things more into our favor." He says as he walks up to a nearby closet door. The magic in the key could be felt by Crystal and the other alicorns, Unicorns & the sirens. When he put it in a heavy rune inscribed door appeared. He twisted the key and pushed it in slightly. He looked at the others, "If you want to accompany me come along but don't touch unless you're part of the herd." He then walked in. The inside was filled with gold, silver, and copper. There were also weapons, armor and books. He led the group to the oldest area in the room to an area and set of bookshelves that Crystal immediately recognized as Atlantean tomes on the shelves. Alex took two books, one with blue folded pages. The other covered arcane runes. He turned back and started to head for the exit.

As they headed back, he stopped at a bookcase and pulled 20 Tomes then put them and the two from the oldest part of the Vault into his inventory. Crystal noted that the other tomes had a different set of arcane runes. "What are those?" She asked.

"A complete set of instructional books on casting spells without a horn & an archive of spells from tier 1 to tier 5, with the caribou chopping of horns from unicorn mares we're going to need an alternate method of casting."

"Not a bad idea but we should also look for wing replacements since the Caribou bind them." Crystal said a she grabbed a glowing runic blade. "Do you mind if I take this? I never found anything suitable enough to use in Sunset's world for melee."

Alex looked and chuckled, "Sure." He replied, "That blade is named 'Winged Freedom'. Remember I said that this is a Family Vault? You, Seline, Luna, Twilight, Twi, Flutters, Shy, Sunset, Aria, Sonata, & Dagi are my wives and have as much right to take items out as I"

"That's a good idea but…" Sonata said. "I don't have any idea what any of this stuff is!"

"The items are a mix of mundane & magical." Alex says he then hands Sonata a sturdy flute. "Like this war flute. You can use it to enhance your sister's spell work as well as work spells through it."

"That might be good!" The blue siren said, taking the instrument, "any other suggestions I'm just letting you know Aria likes more physical Endeavors than using our singing to fight."

"This thing looks oddly familiar." The purple Siren said while holding a strange sword.

"Alex, did any of your family meet Kalameet?" Sunset asked. "Because that weapon is the Obsidian Greatsword, only obtainable by cutting off the tail of a dragon in Dark Souls. I can also see the original Moonlight Greatsword over there, another of those weapons although that looks more like the version from bloodborne than the original."

"Crystal, you used this during our Co-op Dark Souls Marathon!" Aria said. "And that's your favorite sword from Bloodborne!" Aria pointed to the Moonlight Greatsword. "Could it be that some of your in-game inventory got here through your gamer ability?"

"Huh," Crystal said, recognizing other weapons from the games she played in Sunset's world. "Guess that's why I didn't really have a strong reaction when I first saw this part of it is mine." Inside her head she was freaking out realizing that all of the weapons from the game she played could possibly now appear in this vault. There was one specifically that she did not want anywhere near her in real life even though it was fun to bash people over the head with it in Saints Row 4. 'Shit!' Was repeating over and over as she noticed some of the other weapons she tended to use. "Hon I didn't realize this is where they would go! Sorry." But that fear changed to elation at the site of a pair of particular weapons from an obscure game that she had enjoyed. "Ok these are mine!"

"Huh," Replied Alex, rising an eyebrow he looked around then said, "I didn't realize that would happen." He then smiled and picked up a buster sword with yellow, red, blue spheres in the sockets. "Nice and it has lighting, fire, and frost materia inplace."

"Tap it's handle." Flutters said. "It looks to be the fusion sword, not Zach's⁰ buster sword."

Alex taps the hilt of the sword. The weapon split into seven. The materia held within the central sword in the same place as it would be in the original Buster sword.

"The original Buster sword can only hold two Materia at once, the fusion sword can hold up to 3 when combined." Flutters explained. "It can hold many more when it's only the central blade, also the fusion sword is the more common weapon in ancillary media including the stuff after the end of 7."

Alex refused the sword and nodded, before motioning for everypony to precede him out. Once everypony was outside the Vault he closed the vault. "Go in to the city of Everfree and get some volunteers. The clock is ticking and we don't have a lot of time before Sunday."

"Who should we recruit, I'm thinking Trixie." Twi said. "She has a lot of talent and untapped potential and I'm sure she'll want to get revenge on the Caribou for taking Starlight."

Alex shakes his head. "The only way Trixie will be in on this is as a part of a team that will be protecting the sirens. Otherwise she is a loose cannon.

"How about Muffins?" Dash suggested. "Before you all laugh she's a monster in drunken style combat. I never actually beat her when we were training in the dojo and this is me your talking about.

Alex produces a flask and tosses it to Rainbow. "That is a flask of endless salted mead. It should help her."

"She also has experience fighting in Canterlot," Rarity said, "During the wedding she was in the city with her adopted and biological daughters meaning she knows how impeding forces would actually fight in the Canterlot streets. She'd be a valuable asset beyond her martial prowess, anyone we can confirm took part in helping fight off The Invasion during the wedding and the storm Beast Invasion should be top priority."

"Too bad Tempest Shadow is supposedly defending Mount Aris at the moment, she helped lead the storm Beast Invasion meaning she would have insight into the tactics of taking Canterlot." Mac commented having walked up to the group after having overheard the conversation. "I'm not opposed to joining myself. I mean I'm not from this world but any of my family in danger means that I'm going to help you no matter what no matter the world. That's why I joined my sisters when we crossed over."

"You're in." Alex says. "You choose which team you'll be part of, infiltration, assault or guardian. Infiltration is rescuing Celestia from under Dainn's nose. Assault is attacking Canterlot with the apparent goal to destroy the airship docks & airshipyards. If those goals are completed good for us. Guardian protects the sirens."

One of the few free guardsmen approached the group. "Sir we have a single person approaching from the south!"

"The south?" Crystal asked "That's away from any major population centers towards the Badlands. Alex, we both need to check this out."

Alex nods and spreads his wings saying, "RED ALERT! GET NONCOMS INTO THE CASTLE!!" He then flies out to meet this lone traveler. Followed closely by Crystal.

Chrysalis was carefully moving through the Everfree looking for the ravine that hid the Tree of Harmony. Suddenly, vines that haven't been seen in four years penned her in. Then two forms land in front of her. "What do we have here?" A male voice spoke from the figure just before a second figure landed.

"Uh, is it just me or are you a beauty Miss…?" The female said, surprising the royal Changeling.

Chrysalis drew herself up and replied, "I wasn't aware that Equestria's Alicorn population had grown by two. Let alone one was male. I am QUEEN Chrysalis. "

"Well I am Queen Crystal Controller, this is my Husband King Alexandrite Obsidian. We are the rulers of an ancient civilization from another world. My husband also is the alicorn of the Everfree, a birthright unintentionally given to him by Discord."

"As demonstrated by the plunder vines caging you." Alex added. "I have a proposition for you. You changelings can make perfect intelligence gathers save for you need to feed off love. I can use my magic to remove that dependency. Love can still give you a power boost but you won't die from a lack of love. Which drove you to attempt to invade Equestria. All you have to do is swear fealty to the Atlantean crown. As well as take Thorax as your king"

"The idea that I would die from a lack of Love is an exaggeration, I am the only changeling left and as a queen I can feed off of all positive emotion. In fact all of my changelings could before they became those monstrosities, but love is the most nutritious." Chrysalis said, "As the queen who almost took canterlot I deny helping you. I was just curious as to the nature of the emotional spike I felt earlier today. Idiots."

"Tsundere, isn't she? Let me try something." Crystal whispered to Alex before turning to Chrysalis. "Well then, as you have admitted that you are an endangered species we have to keep you caged and breed you to bring more changelings into the world."

Alex nodded. "In the world I was taken from there were breeding programs run by various nations to save various species, keeping you caged would be the most humane thing to do."

The queen blushed at the thought of being bred, "That sounds interesting but I still don't think I should stay with you."

Crystal walked up to the cage before she walked through it to hug the Changeling, further surprising the queen. "Please I was kind of teasing you before but I do think you would be safe with us, you may not know this but there is a war going on outside of this Forest currently most of Equestria has fallen to in invading Force, this force is called the caribou a patriarchal society in the extreme even with your transformation abilities I do not think you would go so far as to constantly be disguised as a male just to survive. And that's the only way you would survive as they take even hermaphrodites such as you and debase them and force them to become breeders. We're offering you the choice whereas they don't."

"I helped my mentor assemble a mysterious and magical Crown and was brought here and the Everfree became bound to me." Alex then commented. "My becoming the Everfree Alicorn wasn't my choice but I won't allow Dainn to be my sovereign or Equestria's ruler if I have a choice"

Chrysalis began to shiver before nearly falling over, only staying up because of Crystal. "Guess I need a place to sleep, at least for now."

Crystal looked at Chrysalis' back noticing a large crack in the chitin. "Alex she needs medical help, whether we like it or not we should help her now and let her decide after."

Alex nodded and in a Prismatic Flash they're in Everfree General Hospital. Nurse Redheart ran up to the royals.

"I thought I had ordered noncoms into the castle."

Redheart looked at Alex and said, "Good thing I convinced the guards to let me stay to pack medical supplies for the castle. Plus I am a former guard field medic so I technically would be considered a combatant as well in this situation, meaning I do have my own pull my King."

"In my old homeland, medical personnel whether military or civilian were considered noncoms." Alex pointed out. "Well whatever the reason we're glad you're here. She needs medical attention stat."

Alex put a magic restriction ring on Chrysalis' horn. "It's to keep you from hurting yourself, Redheart'll remove after you've healed a bit"

Crystal snapped her fingers and broke the ring. "You idiot, she doesn't have a gem like the sirens, she needs her magic to live! How is she going to feed it literally works where she focuses the ambient energy through her mouth thanks to her horn!" Two cuffs of mana absorbent crystals formed on her wrists with another snap of Crystal's fingers. "That will drain her ambient magic so that all she can cast is the spell to feed. Something as a name as Pegasus weather manipulation making it very mana efficient."

The mention of the sirens caused Chrysalis to go stiff. "You know of those creatures?!" 'My girls, I'm so sorry.' "Are they here?!"

"They are part of my herd" Alex commented. "And if it means anything pregnant probably with an alicorn hybrid. "

"Please send for them." Chrysalis asked. "I need to talk with them."

With a raised eyebrow sent the all clear, while simultaneously sending for the sirens. While waiting Alex said, "Your daughters will be here soon."

"They're actually my nieces." Chrysalis said sadly. "I had a crown princess before she transformed. I adopted the sirens so that they had some form of protection. I don't know their full origins and neither do they. I know that they are similar enough to a changeling that we can work together."

"Until Starswirl and the Pillars tricked them into flying through that portal of his."

Alex then said, "I'm picking up your worried over the Chromatic changelings."

"Am I that obvious?" Chrysalis asked as Redheart placed a salve over her cracked chitin before wrapping her back in bandages. "Celestia is known as the mother of all equestrians. My title of Queen didn't just mean I ruled over the changelings. For a good amount of them I am their mother whether it's through adoption or actual birth, sharing love has thenever been done before I'm worried that they're slowly killing themselves by draining their magic and since they can't even feel hungry anymore they won't even uknow until they start dropping dead. In truth I'm terrified for them. I know my way of life wasn't always the best but my deal with Cadence was the only way to have the hive survive, even thrive at least until Discord dried up all the love energy when he was released."

Alex got thoughtful at Chrysalis' words. But before he could voice what he was thinking, a cry of "AUNTY!!!" As sirens came running in the room only to be stopped by Redheart stepping between them and their goal. "Creatures of legend you may be but this is a hospital and unruly behavior is not allowed." Alex & Crystal quietly left the room.

"Alex that wound was blunt damage," Crystal said "the imprint on her chitin and where it cracked, I think one of my golems might have done this."

"I Figured." Alex said. "Chrysalis' going to need infusions of love energy and a month of bedrest. Which means we have to move the liberation of Ponyville up on the list. This might be a boon in disguise as Ponyville has access to the only rail line up to Canterlot. The other routes to Canterlot are narrow. Too narrow to move an army with speed to the capital."

"There is a route to Canterlot that we can use," Crystal said with a grim-set look upon her face. "I can't stress this enough though, using this route is incredibly risky, for all of us but especially for me."

"Oh?." Alex said intrigued. "Do tell."

"Remember how I transformed into that more human-like dragon form?" Crystal said, "That's not my only dragon form. I have another one that is as big as this entire Castle and able to hold many people on its back. I gained this form after defeating Deathwing in World of Warcraft. The reason it's risky to use the form is because I have to turn my body into that black fire and fuse it into crystals. Creating the body from crystals reinforced with my very soul. If I do this I'm not sure I can come back from that and if I can it may not be as I am now. Good news is I can use incredibly durable diamonds and crystalline metals to do this but if I take too much damage I might not ever be able to recover."

"Then that's a last resort." Alex says with a cross look. "I am NOT risking you like that."

"I'm giving it as an option. I've never actually taken the form so I'm not sure if it actually works like that. After all I was never able to gather enough magic nor generate enough crystals for that in Sunsets world, for all I know it may work like a dragon transformation in Fairy Tail." Crystal said. "I desperately hope that it works that way, I am only assuming it works a certain way because of who I gained it from a dragon literally made of molten magma and Earth who was half dead and put back together by his minions. His body was basically made in the primordial age before he turned bad but it still was made of earthly elements."

Alex nods. "Just be careful I don't want to risk my queen. Lol"

"Let me try to transform once the prompt did say I could control the size of the crystal form so I might be able to learn my new powers, did gain a lot from the games I beat and/or progressed far enough in when they weren't beatable, like WoW." Crystal said "Besides it might be a better idea if I try merging with the Crystal Tree Castle to take on that form in full. It's already magically reinforced Crystal that seemingly isn't able to be broken by the caribou. I'm sure

Alex nods and says, "Go for it. While your doing that, I'll launch the liberation of Ponyville. "

Ponyville's night was just starting as it always did after it fell to the caribou's rule. Until howl pierce the air. The guards looking towards the howling find their blood running cold. A battalion of Crystal Golems accompanied by three Timberwolves packs.

Suddenly, plunder vines started erupting from the ground and attacking everything within reach. The golems and Timberwolves soon join in the fight.

The fighting lasted about three hours and when it was over, the townsponies were gathered in town square in three groups. The stallions were in a stockade and the caribou were in cages. The mares were sitting at tables wondering what was going on when five figures flew in and landed. As the figures stood they were revealed to be alicorns.

Then five of them stepped back revealing the sixth alicorn to be a male. Who marched up to the caribou then asked, "Ponies of Ponyville!" The alicorn male announced in the RCV. "The caribou's hold on this town is broken. All the laws Dain has imposed on this town are from this moment on, abolished!" The ponies (stallions & mares) cheered. The caribou glared at the alicorn stallion.

A sudden roar caused the group to turn to the Everfree where a massive beast could be seen lumbering towards the town. A few of the more sane in the crowd shivered remembering the sound of the creature. though only one mare could recognize the tone of the roar, one of concern.

The Alicorn stallion looked towards the starbear and unfurled his bat-like wings, getting ready to launch himself at it to defend the town when Dr Fauna shouted "Wait!" Alex looked at her and waited for a explanation. "That creature is concerned about something." Alex nods and looks to Sunset and says, "Get Fluttershy she can talk to it and find out what's going On."

'No need' Crystal said as she approached in her crystalline draconic form the matching younger Ursa Minor following next to her in size, the cub chuffing happily 'She's just is worried while her child is playing with me and wants to keep an eye on us both to make sure I don't hurt it, nothing more.' the massive beast nodded before moving it's paws in a distinct fashion surprising the ponies. 'It turns out that while they can't actually speak they can sign, at least the mother knows how to.' Crystal began translating the signs. 'She wanted her little one to get some exercise that's why she's out of her den in the first place, but became a bit worried when sensed me creating this body. Turns out they are attuned to natural magic. Upon learning what I was doing she stayed back but the little one started playing with me. Now it just won't leave me alone, convinced that I'm another starbeast the Draco'

Alex began to laugh in relief, remembering the time he had made a device that could transform him for ten minutes into an anthro of the animal he'd previously scanned. It had one flaw, if the animal he scanned was female, he would become an Anthro female animal.

To help a Ranger friend to distract a male wolf so his friend could get vitals on his mate. Turned out it had another flaw, If the scanned female was in heat his Anthro form would be in heat. He had spent ten minutes in a tree avoiding an amorous malwolf until he changed back. The device was destroyed but that memory still made him laugh.

'Now then how is the town?' Crystal asked as her body slowly shrank returning her to her hybrid form Crystal making up her bigger form turning into gem-like scales. The look reminded her of the dragons of The Inheritance saga, which were practically prized gemstones themselves, more than the dragons of Equestria who eat gems to reinforce their magical resistance with the minerals within. "As you can see old ones, I am not the Draco but an ally and a friend."

"A little roughed up, but intact. I chalk that up to the ponies effectively telling the caribou upon seeing Crystal Golems accompanied with Timberwolves, 'You wanna fight those?! No thank you, you're on your own. We're going to live through this.' Before dashing into nearest building and locking the doors on the caribou." Alex sent through the gamer link.

"Hello everyone!" Crystal said, looking to the crowd. "As some of you have probably already guessed, considering what I just did, I am the one who controls the crystal golems, I am Queen Crystal controller." She said with a bow. "My husband and I, the male alicorn over there who freed your town, came to this world from another to help you to free you from the Caribou and reverse any damage done if we can." She took a moment to let things sink in before continuing to address the crowd.

"Some of you may already know that there have been rumors of a city springing up in the Everfree. Considering all of the military actions that have taken place within the last few days that involve the forest it's blatantly obvious that a resistance has been started there. That is the return of the old city surrounding the seat of equestrian power that was old Cantorlot castle. Nowadays more commonly referred to as the 'Castle of the two sisters', we do not wish to unseat the true rulers of this nation in fact we have become part of the herd that is forming of alicorns which includes princess Luna and Lady Selene. All we wish is to render aid to allies and family in need. Taking Ponyville is the first step in taking back the entirety of Equestria. Also creating a stable base that will not be dangerous for those to venture past. Now that the fighting is over I suggest you follow my crystal golems to the city of the everfree leave Ponyville for now. Dainin will strive to take this city back which will undoubtedly lead to casualties if you stay here. Know that my golems will both escort you and protect this town from being retaken, draining those who side with the Caribou and the Caribou themselves of their forces. Weakening them for a place of admittedly little strategic importance in the grand scheme of things." She admitted.

"More of a hazard considering the calamity that visits this town, though one that I'm sure all of you are used to now." This cause the crowd to chuckle at her remark, knowing full and well that this town was prone to disasters of calamitous proportions. After all, what do you do when you live with the Elements of Harmony?

Alex then turned to the cages and teleported himself, them, & the Timberwolves out of town. He flew up to the height of the town hall. He then teleported daggers at the feet of each of the deer. One picked a dagger then asked, "Why're you giving us weapons?" Alex just looked at the Timberwolves. The Caribou deflated. "I'm releasing you to run to Canterlot to tell King Dain what transpired here. That is if you survive. One minute after you begin I'll send them After you. NOW RUN!!!" The Caribou took off like bats out of hell and a minute later the Timberwolves took off after them.

Alex rejoined the others and gave Twilight a loving hug.

The crowd dispersed leaving Fauna and the rest of the elements and the humane 7 standing by Crystal and the Ursai. "Fluttershy?" Crystal asked both of the yellow pegasi stepping forward. "While I can translate their sign language, can you please ask Polaris and her mother why they're still here? I thought they would head back home after learning that I'm not the friend that they thought I was even though I am their Ally."

Both Fluttershys nodded and asked starbears "I wanted to find the pony who fed Polaris, got him to sleep, & brought him home when he was going through the phase where he was little terror when he's awoken." The Ursa major replied replied though Fluttershy. "I wanted to apologize the clowny pony for smashing her cart. HI CLOWNY PONY!" Polaris replied though Fluttershy waving at Trixie when done. The magician pony had a mortified look on her face a beig called a clown.

senses of the victims and transfer it to another. The survivor bumps into prince Blueblood and Alexander tranfers to the prince and left the trance. He opened hisseeeded 3 eyes to see seline, Luna, & Crystal. "HI my loves what brings you here?"

"We are worried," Luna said. "Crystal has informed us of her plan to help the assault team. We were hoping that she would stay behind and watch the city but her reasoning is sound especially since we now have Polaris and her mother as close allies."

"I don't like sending both of our best fighters out into battle like this even if you are in separate teams." Selene commented "I'm also loath to admit that both of you are our best fighters considering Luna and I were the warrior princesses, but neither of us were trained formally in the martial arts and weaponry that you two have been will need that unpredictable factor to your fighting styles to defeat Dannin."

"The castle has agreed to my idea of merging with it but only in times of great need." Crystal said "We might not be able to bring it back out if that happens and I don't want Twily to lose her castle considering it is basically the gift of the God of this world."

"We have to stike now." Alex said. "Currently the Caribou Armies are scattered over Equestria and Canterlot has a small garrison that is currently mostly pony. Plus My team is going to be invisible and avoiding combat searching for Celestia."

Alex went back to meditating. He locked onto Blueblood and carefully rode the haughty prince senses. Alex's great surprise and joy as Blueblood entered the throne room of Dain. Dainin showed he was so arrogant he bound Luna and Celestia thrones together and has Celestia chained to it by her collar.

He came out of meditation and said in total disbelief, "I can't believe his arrogance." He looks about and says, "The Bastard took Celestia & Luna's thrones and bound them together, knocking out the arms in the center and he Celestia herself Chained to that… thing by her collar, which is colored black by the way." The alicorn thestral was shaking with fury.

"Good, that means she's fighting back." Crystal said. "ASSAULT TEAM READY YOUR WEAPONS! Might want to stand back. I'm going to use my full size for this." She warned as the sound of splintering crystal began.

Alex gathered both his and the Siren's teams. He teleported himself and the siren's team to their position then teleported back to where Crystal was changing he arrived just as Crystal finished transforming. Before anyone could say anything, a voice that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere commented, "Well looking here. A little group that doesn't like Dainie poo."

"Dainie Poo?" Echoed Alex in disbelief. "Eris have you fallen for Dainin Stonehoof?" A moment later the feminized Discord appeared in a puff of smoke glaring at Alex. "I. Not. Have. Fallen. For. Dainin." She says with blushing cheeks. "That blush says otherwise." Alex calmly.

"Ooh. You have got the most annoying o… "

Loquaciousp-" Eris started before Crystal in her draconic form grabbed the draconequus and began glowing gold, causing the being of chaos to start screaming in pain.

"Be free of your corruption!" Crystal said with her mind. "Those gunblades I picked up had a unique God ability. Right now I'm using the power of light to burn out the corruption within Eris. If I'm being honest I prefer this form over Discord." as the screams ended a black figure expelled itself from Eris. Looking almost exactly like the draconequus but grayscale, similar to when she would use her power to turn someone to their opposite as Discord.

"You'll pay for that!" It shouted as Crystal set down the now unconscious Eris. Her Golden Glow fading as a deep Purple one replaced it.

"I don't think so, Nightmare! Have a taste of what true Darkness is!" At near supersonic speed Crystal swung her fist into the nightmare version of Eris sending the beast flying out of the Everfree before it could stabilize itself. Crystal shook her claw as the glow faded. "Timetable has moved up, assault team we need to move now!"

The assault team piled onto the train, dressed in what appeared to be ODST armor w/o the face mask and 25% having airsoft weapons the 40 ponies headed of to Canterlot.

By the nature of their mission, the seven members of the stealth team were dressed in black jumpsuits, boots & gloves (all crafted by both Raritys) waited for Alex to join them. Alex joined them at a run handing Pony Twilight a scroll. "For whenever Celestia is freed from the throne as well as getting us there." He says to her.

"But what if the caribou set up runes to prevent teleportation. " Twilight asks with worry. Alex smiled as he put his hands on her shoulders saying, "first we'll be teleported to your old room going in and second there won't be any in throne room. Your special Talent is magic itself that means rune magic can't stop you." He kissed her and took his position. "Remember focus on your hands not your horn." Twilight took a deep breath, opened the scroll the read, "Greater Teleport" and the group vanished in a lavender flash.

The night began normally for Canterlot until a wordless song began to float on the air. Everpony who heard the song suddenly began fighting one anmother. Within moments the capital city of Equestria streets were filled with roiters.

Using a heart song to rile up the people of Canterlot felt wrong but the sirens had decided that if they could they would try to use the natural magic of Equestria to help bolster their power thus the heart song formed. Crystal and her dedicated team began taking out all the Caribou males that showed up quickly incapacitating them with the pepper spray paintballs and strategic shots with their BB pistols. "Remember right now we don't want to kill them, just incapacitate them!" The dragoness reminded them. "Aria, follow me to the air docks. Your Obsidian greatsword's heavy attack should allow us to destroy more ships quickly, save a couple of explosives for the big ones that are armored!" The group split into two demolition experts heading towards the air docks and the others continuing to incapacitate Caribou and guard keeping the distraction going for as long as possible.

A lavender flash preceded the arrival of the stealth team. In front of them was a Caribou buck naked and on top of a light lavender unicorn mare whose horn had been cut off. Before the buck could do anything. *phut!* *splorch!!* Alex shot the buck in the head which exploded when the hypervelocity slug hit it. Just before he lowered his Carnifax heavy machine pistol. The mare tackled him causing his face to be buried in her cleavage as she said repeatedly, "Thank you!" Twilight used her telekinesis on the mare of her mate when she got a look at the mare's cutie mark. "St-starlight Glimmer?" As soon as he didn't have a pair of M-Cups in his face he cast, "Greater Teleport" sending her to his chambers in the castle. "THAT was unexpected." He said as he straightened himself out. Twilight was in thought as she said, "Starlight was acting like she had been in heat without the help of a stallion or a cooler." A Changeling who had himself changed into a classic mode changeling named Syntax had wandered to the door leading out peeked through. He saw a Caribou guard standing outside looking nervous and like he was going to leave and get help. A flash of green fire and he was replaced with a green mare that was a combination of twilight and Starlight and stepped out.

It turned out that Dainin had placed a heavy guard on his remaining airships knowing that until he construct a new set the legion they had left was his only mode of relatively fast transportation.

"Assholes keep coming!" Aria said as she decapitated another three caribou with her greatsword. "If it weren't for my thousand years of training in the human world I don't think any of us would survive this wave!" The siren slammed the tip of her sword into the ground, unleashing a wave of black and yellow fire all around her blasting back 20 more. "It's almost like they are getting reinforcements from another world!"

"We have to keep going, we're almost there, come on!" Crystal having shrunk down to about 9 ft tall and now being able to use her twin gun blades to their fullest extent with her unlocked God modes said. "I know these things seem to be unending. I have a feeling that Nightmare Eris is the source of our troubles!" She quickly opened her mouth unleashing a blast of light before decapitating another four then rapidly firing her weapons into those that were getting up from Aria's fire blast. "I should have known that Dannin could have access to the Nightmare forces! With Selene not being controlled by them they would be up for grabs!"

"Less talking, more shooting!" Sunset shouted, swinging her moonlight greatsword rapidly firing off blasts of moonlight to incinerate the Caribou in front of her. "If you haven't noticed we are making a dent. We're almost at the first armored ship!"

Syntax approached the caribou guard the lust he was radiating at almost made him throw up, but Syntax kept his gorge down. Syntax then kissed the guard and started drain what love he had. The guard weakened rapidly, All he could do was widen his eyes before he was too far gone.

By the time the rest of the stealth team stepped out of the room. Syntax had used a spell taught to infiltrators to get rid of corpses and acquire any valuables. He fell into step as they began sneaking to the throne room.

Sunset, Crystal and Aria had finally cleared the Caribou from the armored ships setting charges they had acquired in the human world along with a couple of pyromancy spells to ignite them on delay. "Once we're done here we should get back to the rest of the assault team. We have good fighters up there but I still worry that our guards aren't up to snuff." Crystal said with placing a brick of C4. "I'm glad that I got Luna and Selene to agree to stay with some of the others as a secondary line of defence in Ponyville but I'm worried about AJ and Dashie."

"Sonata and Adagio should be able to rein them in using their song if they have to, but the Rainbooms have shown the ability to resist our mental commands so I'm worried about that." Aria commented while standing guard. "We should hurry cause I have a feeling Alex is about to do something stupid."

"Greater Invisibility", "Greater Invisibility", "Greater Invisibility", "Greater Invisibility", "Mass Invisibility"

With those spells cast they moved down the hallway that had the stained glass windows showing Equestria's history, noting save for a single window depicting the fall the rest were covered with thick tapestries. Once they got to the doors to the throne room things got tricky as they had to enter one at a time. Fortunately, all of them could fly but once inside the scene looked like it was before the fall and it looked like prince Blueblood was the current petitioner. Alex could not keep the grin current from his face as it seemed Blueblood was very long winded.

They managed land next to Celestia. "Open" and with the casting of the cantrip the collar came off. Unfortunately it wasn't silent as the chain clattered. Alex stood up as an ancient caribou stepped from behind the tapestry, reached into a bag and threw some black disks which sent a wave of disruptive energy that consumed themselves and the mass Invisibility spell.

"Hah! You thought Caribou runes couldn't strip you of your Invisibility? You thought wrong. " Alex smiled as heard Twilight's low voice as she read her scroll. "Actually I knew that there was a runic version of the spell Dispel Magic which was weak compared to the one I just used to disarm & distract you."

"Greater Teleport! "

The ancient caribou's jaw dropped in shock as Celestia and three others vanished. At the sound of the pop characteristic of teleportation Dainin spun around and watched Alex back-lit off the dias. Blueblood ran up and punched Alex in the gut to little effect.

On top of the dais the ancient searches his robes to find any active runes and finding none. "Istevan are you hurt?"

"I'm OK my King, but useless." Istevan replied. He stripped me of my magic which destroyed all my prepared runes."

Dainin picked up his great are and stole down to meet Alex saying marching to the youngest Alicorn. "You're Male suppose it had happen as most Alicorn have been female. Yet you have wasted your potential by opposing the natural order." Alex drew twin sabers which began to glow. Then began to fly out of Dainin's reach.

"Natural Order?" Alex said. "I say not. Ponies aren't naturally constantly horny."

Alex began to flit in behind the Caribou King and strike from behind. And flitting out of reach. And repeating the cycle.

Then Dain did a whirlwind strike which caught Alex and sent him sprawling. Alex first got up and looked at Dain as he walked to Alex. Dain then said, "You put up a good fight but you were doomed to failure. Swear fealty to me and I shall spare you." Alex just looked at Dainin and said, "Five words. Fuck you and let's Dance."

Dain raised his ax and readied to lop Alex's head. But Alex ducked down and punched Dain's crotch and as dain was bending over to protect his calf makers, did a rising dragon fist and layer Dainin out and knocked him out.

Panting heavily Alex retrieved his swords. And turned towards the sounds of crashing.

"Alex!!!!!!!" Crystal roared back in her 15 foot tall combat form. "You fucking idiot!" The dragoness growled as she stomped forward causing the whole mountain to shake. "Oh?" She said as she tapped the ground with a claw the mountain once again rumbling in response.

"Sorry about that." Alex says without fear. "But they had a rune master I had to neutralize, then Dain tried to kill me after I made him the bear to my fox. Of course I knocked him out by Johnny Caging his nuts followed up by a rising dragon fist. Now let's start for home while detonating the charges."

"Give me a second," Crystal said before turning to the shaking Istevan. "I can control the mountain, be glad I care about the people on it."

Back at the castle of the Two Sisters Alex got off his queen. He turned around to find himself looking at snow white fur.

"Lexi?" Celestia asked, whimpering as she barely held herself back from throwing her arms around the dark alicorn. "Is it really you?"

Alex nods as he recognized the white Alicorn as his dream friend of the previous year. "I told you I'd get you out of there if I ended up in Equestria."

The mare lept at Alex pulling him into her bosom. "Lexi!" She said, crying happily.

"Tia!" Came Alex's muffled response from her bosom. Alex moved his head so Celestia's bosom, his eyes widening as a nipple slid Into his mouth. "Meep!"

"Uh? Should we leave you two alone for a little while?" Crystal asked before a loud "BOOOOM!!" Rang out from the direction of Canterlot. "Huh was wondering how long that would take!"
