Episode 1

Pixel's sword was embedded into the ground, and left behind after their journey to the Nightmare Realm. The place was quiet, very quiet...an eery silence blanketing the location. Regalias came to a stop, and stared at the sword, before turning to General Tarsaunus. "Weeeellll, where are they General?" Regalias asked.

"Well sir, we tracked the power signature to this location" Tarsaunus replied.

"Soooo....he's hiding is he? Soldier's ATTENTION!!!!!" Regalias shouted, as the group of soldiers turned to their leader, holding their gun's. "Search every nook, and cranny, leave no rock unturned" Regalias ordered, as the soldier's nodded, and began looking for Stryker, and his friend's. "Find the traitor's" Regalias told them, as the ponies continued their search. The soldier's looked at the sight from all angle's, and found nothing.

"They're nowhere to be seen sir" A soldier reported to Regalias, as he snarled.

"AAAAAHHH....WHERE ARE THEY!?!?!?!?!?!?" He shouted, before pulling out his radio, and opening a channel. "Alpha squad situation report" Regalias asked through the radio. Frrom their position, the Alpha squad's radio was on the floor, as they were all tied up in tight ropes, and completely gagged.

"Alpha squad this is High Lord Regalias" He told them, as one of the tied up soldier's got to the radio, and managed to rip off his gag.

"High Lord, Stryker, and his team ambushed us, and took our weapon's. They're headed your wa-GOOOHHHHH!!!!!!" The soldier cried, as the radio was blown out of his hand with a huge hole in it. Appearing in front of them was none other than Stryker, and Twilight Sparkle who was in her Scarlett Twinkle form, the two staring at the two soldiers with menacing look's.

"I don't think so" Stryker told them, lowering his gun.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....No one liiiiikkkeeeesss, a little snitch....awwww, we don't wanna have that right now......" She cooed softly, as she spread her her massive scissor claw's. "....Riiiiiiiiggggghhhtttt?" She asked softly. The soldier's didn't even have time to scream, as she charged, and sliced them all into bit's before turning to Stryker with a smile.

"Got 'em" She winked. Regalias on the other end growled, hearing the radio go dead, and his Alpha sqaud now gone.

"GAAAAAHHHH.....DESTROYER WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR.....THAT'S YOUR CUE, NOW GO DO WHAT I PAYED YOU FOR!!!!!!!!" Regalias shouted, as the Megatron from before laughed.

"Aaaahhh, at last....Stryker reveal's himself, all unit's converge on the location of the last transmission. Engage on sight" Megatron growled, as more of Regalias's men did, as they were ordered to. Stryker looked out around an area with Pixel, Twilight/Scarlett, the gold mare from earlier, and Shift. Pixel had ditched her sword, and had her two major pistol's from the war that the gold mare had found, and gave back to her. Those pistol's which she named....Kiss, and Lust.

"Hmmm, alright Scarlett, and i will go first to distract them....." Stryker began, as Twilight gasped at this.

"Awwww, your going to dance with me Stryker that's soooooooo thoughful of you" She smiled gleefully, as Stryker rolled his eyes before turning to Shift. "......Shift you lay down the suprressing fire for Pixel, and Goldie here....." He told him, pointing to the golden mare next to them.

"You got it Sheriff" Shift smiled.

".....Pixel, you'll take it from there....." Stryker told her, as she raised her pistol's.

"No problem" She smiled enthusiastically.

".....and you....." Stryker said, turning to the gold mare, until she interrupted him.

"Don't worry about me Sheriff, I know what I'm doing" The gold mare told him.

"Alright, let's do this" He told them, raising his gun. Styker ran out, with Scarlett following him doing cartwheel's, and other acrobatic trick's.

"THAT'S HIM!!!!!!!" A soldier shouted.

"Who's that mare next to him?" Another asked.

"WHO CARES.....FIRE AT BOTH OF THEM!!!!!!!!" Another soldier shouted, as they opened fire on Stryker, and Scarlett. Stryker ducked behind cover, as he fired, taking one of the soldier's down. Shift immedietly began to open fire, as two of the soldiers took cover, while a third brought out a massive minigun.

"EAT BULLETS TRAITORS!!!!!!!!" He screamed, and opened fire, as Shift ducked behind cover. Pixel charged forward, as she jumped behind the barracade, containing the two concealed soldier's from before, and pinned one down, putting a bullet in his brain. The other soldier attempted to raise his gun, but Pixel knocked him into the wall, and shot him in the head.

"OH NO YOU DON'T....GAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!" The soldier shouted, as he was thrown to the wall by Stryker with his gun aimed at him. "Well, if it isn't the traitor" The soldier snarled.

"Traitor, who's the real traitor here?" Stryker asked, before knocking him unconscious.

The soldier with the minigun continued spewing his bulllet's at Shift, until Scarlet jumped out, tornado spinning, as she shredded every single bullet that the minigun was firing. The soldier lowered his weapon....shocked. "N-No way" He gasped, as Scarlett charged with ridiculous speed, and sliced his head off with her claw's.

"CALL FOR BACKUP!!!!!!" Another soldier shouted, before Scarlett appeared, running at insane speed's, and quickly sliced the soldier's head off. The Gold mare was firing her gun, killing more soldier's, until Megatron flew right past her in his hypersonic alien jet form.

"STRYKER BIG TROUBLE INBOUND!!!!!!!" The Gold mare shouted through her comm's, as Stryker turned to the intruder.

"Uh-oh" He realized, as Megatron transformed, and slammed down to the ground in front of him.

"At long last....we meet again Stryker" Megatron growled, as Stryker fired at him, his bullet's bouncing off his metal skin harmlessly. "Pathetic.....my turn" He growled, bringing up his cannon, and firing a massive blast that knocked him into the wall. "HAHAHAHAHA.....puny....little.....pony, I'll make this quick" He growled, pointing his gun at him.

"Uggghhh....ya' know, I was gonna say the same thing, SCARLETT, GOLDIE.....NOW!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, as Scarlett appeared out of nowhere, and did her signature blade-nado attack, making him stagger.

"GAAAAHHH!!!!!" Megatron growled, as Goldie fired another magnetized shot toward's him, as two huge pieces of rubble crashed into Megatron, keeping him pinned.

"LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!" Pixel shouted to them.

"Quickly, this way" The gold mare told them, opening a nearby secret entrance with Shift, Pixel, Scarlett, Stryker, and herself vanishing into it, leaving no trace behind. Regalias looked around the battlefield seeing the devastation.

"What just happened?" Regalias asked, as Tarsaunus spoke.

"They got away my lord" He replied, as Regalias growled.

"I CAN SEE THAT GENERAL!!!!!!" He shouted before slamming his fist's against a nearby small brick wall. "GAAAAHHHHH, WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE TO BRING THOSE TRAITORS TO JUSTICE......They....will....PAAAAYYY FOR THIS!!!!!!!" Regalias snarled coldly. A transforming sound was heard, as Megatron bursted out of the rubble, and landed on the ground quickly..

Episode 2

The empty sewer secret entrance was unevenly quiet, the darkness blanketing the place completely, the only sound's filling it was the sound of dripping water....hitting the cold, moist floor. The gold mare led Stryker, and his friend's throughout the area, as they all followed close behind her. The silence was broken by Pixel. "This place gives me the creep's" She shivered, as gas was heard hissing in the distance. Shift came to a stop at one of the empty pipes, having bad memories from The Nightmare Realm, and wasn't the only one. He almost freaked out, seeing Twilight in her Scarlett Twinkle form again, as she sighed.

"S-Sorry to scare you, I guess we're both haunted by that place" Twilight told him, as Shift eased up, taking in a deep breath.

"It's going to take time getting used to you after what happened, I'm guessing the same will go for Stryker" Shift told her, as Twilight let out a pained sigh, a look of depression on her face. "Hey....no worries Twilight, your still coming back from that place, we forgave you, all of us....even if your old friend's are gone, we're your new friend's, and we won't abandon you ever again" Shift told her, holding her claw's, as she gave him a smile, her eyes watering.

"Thank you Shift, you have no idea how much that means to me" She sniffled, as Shift gave her a heartwarming grin, until he was blasted in the face by the sewage, like gas that came from the pipes.

"AAAAHHHH.....Great peanut butter, and jelly that's awful" Shift coughed, as Scarlett burst out laughing. After what felt like years for Scarlett, she was feeling joyful, and happy.

"Careful Shift" Stryker warned.

"Where are we going anyway?" Shift asked.

"That's a good question, ya' got an answer to that question Goldie?" Stryker asked the gold mare.

"You'll see soon enough" She replied.

"Yeeeesshh, not soon enough this place smell's like ass" Shift told them, as Stryker chuckled in agreement.

"Yeahaha...no kidding" He replied, looking around. The group continued, until they came across a huge pipe that all of them could fit through.

"Hey wait a minute, why am I still like this?" Twilight asked Stryker, before changing back into her fused form.

"Doesn't help to stay sharp" Stryker shrugged, as the gold mare opened a secret pipe entrace that was in front of them. The tube itself looked big enough for all of them to slide down.

"In ya' go" The gold mare motioned to them.

"Ooooh Hell No, I am not going down there, I've been spending way too much time in dark, scary.....GAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" Shift cried, never finishing his sentence, as the gold mare pushed him down the tube. She turned to Stryker who looked at Twilight, and Pixel.

"Uuuuuhhh....ladies first" He told them, as Pixel placed her hand's on her hips, giving him a pouty look, while Twilight quickly changed into her Scarlett Twinkle form, and raised her claw's. "Oh fine" Stryker groaned, as he slid down the tube, while Pixel, and Twilight, (who had changed back into her fused form) journeyed down a a few seconds later, along with the gold mare. Stryker groaned when he reached the bottom, and began to get up. "Ugh....that's one bumpy ride" He sighed, until he heard multiple gun's cocking, seeing he was at gunpoint in front of other Equestrian ponies.

"GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!!!!!!!" One angry pony shouted.

"Sheriff you should do, as he says" Shift warned him, already down on the ground.

"No...who are they to tell us what to do" Stryker growled, as another pony spoke.

"Put your hand's up" One warned, as another spoke.

"I SAID GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!!!!!!!" The pony from earlier spoke, as Stryker sighed.

"Put my hand's up, or get down on the ground which is it?" Strtker asked them, as they all looked at each other before turning to Stryker, asking him another question.

"Who are you?" One of them asked.

"My name is Stryker, Sheriff of The Grid" Stryker introduced, as another pony scoffed.

"Quit lying" He growled.

"Yeah you think you can just name drop Stryker, and lower our guards" Another joined in.

"No seriously I'm....GUUUUHHHH!!!!!!!" Stryker groaned, as Pixel, and Twilight both collapsed on top of him, with the gold mare arriving behind them.

"GOLDIE YOUR BACK!" A pony shouted, lowering his gun.

"Wait if Goldie's back, then that mean's this is....." The pony realized, as all of them looked at Stryker who let out a painful groan with the mare's on top, pinning him to the ground when they came through the tube.

"STRYKER!!!!!!!!" All the ponies shouted, as Stryker brushed himself off, and sighed.

"Not a best first impression, but I'll take it" Stryker sighed, as another pony gasped, seeing Twilight.

"THAT'S PRINCESS TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!" He shouted shocked, as another one scoffed.

"No she's not, she just look's like Twilight Sparkle, her skin is a different color" He said rolling his eyes, until Twilight spoke, her voice confirming her identity.

"No....that other pony is right, I am Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria" She told them, as they all immedietly bowed.

"Your majesty, where have you been all these year's, we thought you were dead" A pony asked her.

"I was trapped in the realm that had enslaved, our previous rulers. Nightmare Moon attempted to build up strength to enter the real world again, and cursed me to evil where I served for years. Stryker found me, and freed me from that horrible place, while another friend sacrficed herself destroying that realm, and Nightmare Moon. Stryker helped change my curse into something I can control, and with it......" She explained, as she morphed into her Scarlett Twinkle form, as other's gasped. ".....I have gained new abilites" She told them, showing off her re-formed look.

"When we can get back home, I will take charge of our people, and lead us toward's the path of peace. For now, you all must call me Scarlett Twinkle when I am with all of you in the battlefield. Regalias, must not know my identity....for now" Twilight warned, as they all nodded.

"How will we serve you Scarlett?" One pony asked, as Scarlett shook her head.

"Currently you will all follow Goldie, and help Stryker who has helped me" She told them, as they all got up.

*****
"Wow" Stryker gasped, looking at the place, as all of them we're taken to the meeting room with everyone else, as Goldie turned to him.

"Welcome to the homebase of the rebellion, you'll be safe here" She told them, as Shift gasped.

"REBELLION....WHAT REBELLION!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?" Shift shouted.

"A rebellion created to fight the tyranny of Regalias, everypony here has put there life on the line to do what's right" Goldie explained, as one pony gasped. "Oh wow.....Sheriff Stryker, and Princess Twilight themselves" He grunted, shaking their hand's.

"That's right I'm Sheriff Stryker, and this is Princess Twilight, glad to know SOMEONE ELSE recognizes the two of us" He told them looking in the direction from the two ponies earlier, who looked down at the ground embarrased.

"Huh....who wouldn't, your both the best heroes to ever exist" He chuckled, as another pony rasied his hand.

"And also enemies of the state" One told them, as Stryker looked at him confused.

"Huh, what?" Stryker asked, as they were soon shown the wanted posters for Stryker, Pixel, and Shift. "Huh....they drew me a bit fat don't you think" Stryker told Pixel.

"So The Grid is all that's left of Equestria, and sound's like it isn't in good hand's" Scarlett sighed sadly.

"I'm sorry Twilight" Pixel told her, the mare's hand touching Scarlett's scissor claw.

"What happened while I was gone?" Stryker asked, as another pony spoke.

"We'll fill you in on that later, but for now it's good to have you" A pony pointed out, as another pony chuckled.

"Seriously, I feel stronger just having you with us on our side, guess Regalias doesn't stand a chance" Another pony smiled, as Stryker nodded.

"Thank's, but if I know anything about Regalias is this, is that he'll do anything to accomplish his goal's. This makes him a very, very dangerous pony" Stryker warned, as the pony scoffed.

"HAH.....won't be a problem if we all work together right?" The pony asked, as Shift perked up at this.

"RIGHT.....we got your back" Shift chimed in, while another pony groaned.

"Enough about Regalias, come on I'll show you all to your quarter's" The pony told them.

*****
Stryker let out a happy sigh, laying on the soft mattress after taking some of his armor off, and still wearing his clothes underneath. "Aaaaahhh....so soft, when's the last time I layed down on an actual bed" Stryker sighed, until he heard someone open the door.

"Heya Sheriff you got a moment?" Shift asked, as Stryker sat up from his bed.

"Yeah, come on in" Stryker told him.

"I....uh...I have a request" Shift told him, as Stryker sighed.

"Sure what is it?" He asked. Shift pulled out half of a ripped picture of him, and his dad.

"This is a picture of me, and my dad" Shift told him, as Stryker noticed it was ripped, and turned to the green pegasaus.

"Where's the other half?" Stryker asked.

"Gone....I lost it on the night it got torn up, along with my entire family" Shift told him, as he explained the story.

*****
During The Great Nightmare War

The rumbling, and booming was heard outside from their house, as young Shift looked up at the ceiling, while a young golden mare with a long braided mane clinged to him in fear. "Shift I'm scared" She told him, as she began crying.

"Don't worry Jamie it'll be alright" He told her, as Shift's father grabbed a loaded shotgun, and turned to his wife.

"We can't stay here, we have to keep moving" He told her, as she nodded in response. The father quickly grabbed Shift, and looked him in the eye.

"My boy, listen to me....take your sister, and run" His father told him, as Shift whimpered.

"But....Daaaddd you said we'd be safe if we could escape the wall" Shift whined, as his father held his shoulder's, with a deeper serious look in his eye.

"LISTEN TO ME SHIFT......we cannot outrun this war, it won't be long before our family is pulled into it too....TAKE your sister, and head to the Engineer's guild, I have friend's there, they will protect you" He told him, as Shift burst into tear's.

"I DON'T WANNA LEAVE YOU!!!!!!!" He whined, as his father shouted back.

"IT'S TIME TO BE YOUR OWN PONY!!!!!!!!" He screamed, as a dark voice nearby spoke.

"Over here, I hear shouting" It rang, as Shift's dad heard the sound, and turned toward's his son.

"GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!" His father shouted, until an eletrical bomb was thrown to the floor, shocking all of them with Jamie screaming, as a stallion bursted through the house window.

"THIS IS THE MILITARY POLICE...STAY PUT!!!!!!!!" The officer shouted, as Shift's father struggled to get up.

"S-Shift.....g-go" His father writhed in agony, as Shift quickly grabbed his sister who was screaming in fear, while also taking with him the picture of his family.

"WE'VE GOT A RUNNER!!!!!!!" The officer shouted, as a twisted black pony with an insidious voice spoke.

"Activate the traction cannon" He growled, as a vortex like cannon was fired, acting like a mini vacuum cleaner, and began sucking Jamie toward's it.

"AAAAAHHHH SHIIIFFFTTT!!!!!!" She shouted, as Shift attempted to catch her, the only thing keeping them linked was the family picture he had. The picture soon ripped, and his little sister was gone.

"JAAAAMIIIIEEEEE!!!!!!!" He screamed in horror, watching as she landed next to her intended captors.

"Search the building" The soldier ordered, as they searched the area, capturing Shift's parent's, and his sister.

"Aaaahh....Equestria's head engineer, what might you be doing in a dump like this?" The insidious pony asked, pointing to the rather abandoned house they we're currently living in.

"Entras.....they're only children, let them go" Shift's father told the pony by name who merely scoffed.

"If they can walk.....they can march....if they can march...they can fight, this is the greatest war in Equestrian history, all abled bodied ponies are expected to do their part, and contribute to the war effort....wait a minute, don't you have a son?" Entras asked, as Shift's family, and his sister looked down with sadness, while Jamie clutched her half of the torn picture. Near the border's of Equestria....Shift continued running, not daring to look back, as he headed outside of Equestria. He tripped, and fell flat on his face, still clutching his half of the picture, before turning back to look at the direction of his home.

"I'll come back for you one day, I-I promise" Shift said aloud, before continuing on into the dangerous land beyond.

*****
"It wasn't long before I recieved news that both my parent's were lost in the war" Shift finished, as Stryker put a hand on his friend's shoulder.

"I'm so sorry Shift, I had no idea" Stryker sighed, as Shift spoke up sharply.

"But my sister.... I KNOW SHE'S STILL OUT THERE...WILL YOU HELP ME FIND HER!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Shift shouted, as Stryker smiled.

"Shift we've been to the Nightmare Realm, and back in our journey to save Pixel, and saved Twilight Sparkle from those dark depth's. Of course I'll help you find your sister, you have my word" Stryker promised, as they both smiled.

*****
Goldie's quarter's were quite interesting to say the least, as it had a bunch of weapon's laying around, along with mechanical arm's that helped take off her special gear. She went to the mechanical arm's, as it tore off her masked helmet, along with her shield weapon, revealing Shift's long lost sister.....Jamie.

Jamie looked over to the other half of the torn picture which was on the wall with a pretty pink bow on it. She had no memory of her past, and no memory of her previous life, only half of the picture helped her form her identity. She let out a scoffed growl with not finding anything useful these day's about her past, until the alarm's blared, as she cocked the gun cannon attached to her shoulder.

Episode 3

Everypony was racing out of their room's, as Shift, and Stryker looked at all of them...running in front of them with confusion on both their faces. "What's going on?" Both Shift, and Stryker asked, as one of the pony soldier's came to a halt, causing them to stop.

"Red alert, Regalias is broadcasting a massive transmission, follow me, I'll take you to the communication's array" The soldier told them, as he brought both of them to the communication's array with Scarlett Twinkle, and Pixel already there waiting for the two, as the array dish continued to let out sonar ping sound's, trying to find Regalias's transmission.

"How long is this gonna' take?" A pony soldier asked, as the pony behind the array turned to look at the soldier.

"Uh.....I can't seem to match the frequency" The pony told him, as Shift shoved him aside getting to the array's control's.

"Oooohh move over, just use a public channel" Shift told him, as the transmission activated, revealing Regalias.

"Good evening, ponies of The Grid, I stand before you tonight to warn you of the growing danger to our society. Terrorist's have been waging a war against decent ponies like you, and me, and it is time to put a stop to it once, and for all. A vicious rebellion grows in the shadow's of the outskirt's of The Grid, and it is led by these highly four armed, dangerous terrorst's....." Regalias told them, showing pictures of a masked Jamie, Pixel, Stryker, and Shift, while Scarlett Twinkle curled her giant scissor claw's with hatred.

"You dare, call THEM terrorist's after what all of us did for everpony during the war, your gonna pay for that....puny....little.....stallion." She snarled coldy, with extreme venom in her voice.

"....if you see any of these ponies, notify authorities at once, this message is being broadcasted far, and wide beyond the reaches of The Grid. To anyone viewing, know that you'll be rewarded handsomely for their capture, and for any Grid citizen that can provide information on their whereabout's. I promise you enough Grid credit's to bathe in for the rest of your life, and to those of you hiding these fugitives, know that there will be serious tolerance for your action's, and you will be shown no mercy, you've been war....." Reglias told them, before the transmission garbled, as Megatron appeared on the screen.

"Stryker, Regalias can play his diplomatic games, but I care little for such nonsense." He told him, before shifting the picture to show four captured pony civilian's from The Grid, as Stryker gasped.

"No...." He said worriedly, as the camera went back to Megatron, who laughed.

"Hahahahaha, like what you see? 24 hour's, you have 24 hour's to show yourself at the sandy abandoned city, where we first fought. If you refuse to show yourself...these ponies will pay for your cowardice, see you soon" Megatron told him, as the transmission ended. Stryker slammed his fist's down onto the array table with frustration.

"RRRGGGHHH....THOSE INNOCENT PONIES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS; THIS IS BETWEEN ME, AND HIM.....I'M GOING, I NEED TO END THIS ONCE, AND FOR ALL!!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, as one of the pony soldier's spoke.

"Hold up, I know your mad, but this is obviously a trap" He warned.

"I can't ignore this, those ponies lives are at stake." Stryker told him, as another pony spoke up.

"Stryker, the rebellion need's you, please what if something we're to happen to you" He agreed.

"I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind, I'm leaving tonight" Stryker told them, as a third soldier groaned.

"Stryker come on" He sighed.

"Stryker don't do this" A fourth scoffed, as they all watched him walk out the door.

"Don't worry guy's, Stryker can take care of himself, have faith in him, he'll fight alone if it mean's keeping you safe. You have to understand, he's been through a lot" Pixel told them, explaining his story with Shift's help. Stryker was walking toward's the door, and spotted a masked Jamie waiting for him.

"If your here to stop me, give it up, nothing's going to change my mind" Stryker told her.

"Follow me, I'll take you to the armory" She told him, as she led him to the place which had a bunch of gun's, and other tool's.

"Hmmm...pretty impressive collection you've got here" Stryker told Jamie who pointed at the weapon's.

"Most of these are thing's we stole from Regalias, and his soldier's, but we've developed some weapon's of our own" She told him.

"I need something that pack's a punch" Stryker told her, as she handed him a very big machine gun.

"Try this one for size" She replied, as he held the big gun.

"It's not bad, but it's not my style" Stryker told her, as Shift spoke up from behind after telling his part of the story to the soldier's.

"Definetly not your style, thought you might be in here" Shift told him.

"You here to change my mind?' Stryker asked, as Shift scoffed.

"Pffft, as if....leave your new gear to me Sheriff, I'll wip up something fierce" He told him, as Stryker smiled.

"I'm counting on you Shift, you got 2 hour's" Stryker told him, as Shift clapped his hand's.

"Time for me to work my magic" He said overjoyed. After a while Jamie was walking down a few areas, until she came across Scarlett Twinkle, and Pixel.

"You got a moment?" Pixel asked softly, as Jamie turned to them with curiosity.

"What is it?" She asked.

"We're worried about Stryker, worried that he's walking into a trap" She answered, as Jamie nodded.

"I know....that's why we'll do what we always do, and improvise" She told the two of them.

*****
Shift had finished all of the new armor, and weapon's that he put on Stryker, and smiled. "Ok....how does that feel?" Shift asked, as Stryker moved around in the new armor.

"Heavy, but solid" He replied, as Shift smiled.

"I added some additonal armor to protect you from the heavier hit's you'll recieve. I've modified your impact bracer, and attached a variable action cannon, it's a versatile weapon, and it's multiple loadout option's should give you a tactical advantage." Shift told him, as Stryker retracted his new cannon, and smiled.

"This'll work" He grinned, as Shift spoke again, pointing to some equipment, and weaponry on the table.

"This is a Pulse rifle, you'll find that it's rate of fire is slower than your fusion cannon, but the increased power output, and accuracy will more than make up for it, last but not least to make up for the extra weight, I developed a propulsion unit for your back. You won't be able to fly per se, but it'll give you the extra speed boost you'll need in this fight" Shift explained, as he helped attach the new gear to him

"Perfect...." Stryker smiled, before feeling the new gear, as he turned to Shift. "....Whaddya say we give our new toy's a spin." Stryker smiled, as Shift nodded in response.

Episode 4

Many Equestrian stallion's layed flat on the floor, as one attempted to get up, only for Megatron's massive steel foot to pin the weak stallion to the ground, breaking a few bones. "These training exercises are always a waste of my time" Megatron snarled, as gunfire was heard, bouncing harmlessy off his chest, as he turned to the stallion firing at him. He fired his cannon which careened the stallion into the wall. "WEAK......." He snarled, before more gunfire hit him harmlessly from another side, as he pulled out his flamethrower, and blasted the second stallion who screamed, the flames knocking him into a building.

"......USELESS......" He shouted. only to here loud grunting, as a third stallion was whacking his leg with a baseball bat, the big Decepticon scoffing in response. ".....PATHETIC....." He growled, as he pulled out his cannon, and blasted the third stallion across the floor. "....None of these stallion's can compare to Stryker" Megatron growled, as Regalias had watched the entire battle.

"Hmmm....your right, I have something that may provide more of a challenge" Reglias told him, as 6 mechanical pony robot's were brought into the practice arena.

"What are these, new toy's?" Megatron asked.

"You can say that....deploy a single pair against the Destroyer" Regalias orderd, as Megatron scoffed.

"A single pair, you insult me...send them all" Megatron ordered, as Regalias smiled, refusing his demand.

"We'll see about that" Regalias told him, as the single pair was deployed. Megatron fired his cannon, only for one of the robot ponies to block it instantly.

"What?" Megatron growled, only for another robot pony to fire a cannon knocking him back, as a third pursued after him with massive speed. It fired it's machine gun, forcing Megatron to block it, and retaliated with a cannon blast, only for the robot to dodge it, using it's massive speed. The other one fired it's cannon again, knocking Megatron to the floor, as Regalias raised his hand.

"ENOUGH...." He shouted, as the robot's stood down. ".....how's that for a challenge?" Regalias asked, as Megatron growled. "Our Grid tech is advancing faster than you can imagine, so go on....have your fun with Stryker, because it doesn't matter anymore whether you can bring him down, or not....I'll do it myself" Regalias told him with a smile.

Stryker had his new gear, and weaponry ready for use, as he stood at the training ground's ready for action. "Ok....let's see what your made o....." He began, until his machine gun went off from the cannon on his arm, as he sighed. "Ok....let's try that again." He told himself, re-equipping the weapon, while a bunch of dummies got in place.

"Now commencing live-fire training" A robotic voice spoke, as Stryker fired his machine gun at the dummies, and missed every single shot.

"Gaaahhh, this is gonna' need calibration" He said to himself, switching to the weapon's cannon mode. He fired the weapon, and easily destroyed each dummy with a single shot. "Alright, that's more like it" He smiled, pleased with the result.

"Now commencing, live-fire training" The voice spoke, as the dummies disappeared, and were re-placed by turret's.

"Hey wait a minute, no one mentioned live round's" Stryker realized, as the robotic voice spoke again.

"Begin" It echoed, as the turret's opened fire against Stryker. He immedietly blocked every shot, and used his jetpack....only to accidentally slam into the wall, and fall face first to the ground, as the turret's stopped firing with Jamie speaking through the comm's.

"The training ground's is the other way....Stryker" She sighed, as Stryker groaned.

"Got it" He said groggily, as he got up...shook the hit off, and activated his jetpack again. He took cover, and fired his cannon at one turret, destroying it quickly, then rocketed to another area of cover, and shot the second turret. destroying it.

"Wow...these thruster's are really something" Stryker smiled.

"Now commencing round 2 of live-fire training" The voice spoke, as Stryker chuckled.

"Ha.....no problem" He boasted as 2 turret's replaced the damaged one's, only for Stryker to immedietly destroy them before they could fire a single shot. "See....piece of cake" Stryker said confidently, as Jamie spoke through the comm's.

"Pretty good, but let's kick it up a notch" She told him, as the turret's vanished.

"Now deploying combat droid's" The computer spoke, as Stryker stopped.

"What...." He asked, as two Seperatist assasin droid's were deployed, each of them aiming a pistol at Stryker. "Oh come on" He growled, as he fired his cannon at both of them, hitting them with his cannon attack's, while the droid's retaliated with gunfire. Stryker's armor was hit, as he growled...rocketing off to a specific vantage point, and fired his machine gun, forcing them to brace. He immedietly rocketed off, high to the ceiling in the shadow's, as the robot's scanned the area to find him.

Stryker switched to his cannon, and shot one of the droid's arm's off, then shot the droid in the head. The second one spotted him, but Stryker brought it down with a single shot from his cannon, ending the combat drones, as he jumped down onto the floor. "Aw yeah....who's the pony, I'm the pony" He boasted, as the light's flickered off. "HEY....What gives?' Stryjeer asked, as the light's flickered on, revealing the pony soldier's from earlier...armed with weapon's.

"Oh you can't be serious" He groaned, facing the resistance soldier's. "Hey...this is too dangerous" He told Jamie, as one of the soldier's spoke.

"Don't worry about us Stryker we're all wearing weapon dampener's, they can last for a couple of shot's" One stallion told him.

"Or one very big shot" Another chimed in, as Stryker gave them an un-assure glare.

"Um....you guy's sure your ok with this?" Stryker asked, as a third stallion chuckled.

"Heh....it's all of us versus one of you" He smiled, until a familar voice to spoke.

"He's not alone" Pixel shouted, as she, and Twlight entered the training room. Pixel raised her two weapon's, while Twikight Sparkle entered her Scarlett Twinkle form, getting into her spider attack position with her giant scissor claw's spreading.

"Hope you boy's can handle me" She cooed softly, ready for action, as Stryker smiled.

"Awww.....yeah, we definetly got this" He grinned, getting ready. The pony soldier's began to open fire at all three of them, as Stryker, and Scarlett blasted off with immense speed. Stryker fired his machine gun at a few, as their gunfire continued, until Scarlett blocked the gunfire, using her claw's super speed slashing to cleave every bullet fired at him in two. A few were fired, at Pixel, who dodged the bullets, and retaliated with pistol gunfire.

Stryker fired, knocking one down, as Scarlett sped off kicking one into the wall denting it, while Pixel charged with immense speed, and tackled a third. The last soldier turned to help his friend, only for Stryker to knock him back with a cannon blast. "Man....this thing pack's a pucnh" Stryker smiled, looking at the pulse rifle, as all the soldier's groaned painfully, as Scarlett, and Pixel helped them up.

"You ok?" Pixel asked.

"Y-Yeah weapon dampener's...some good stuff" He nodded, before seeing one soldier still laying on the ground.

"Hey...you dead?" He asked, as the soldier still on the ground spoke in a French voice

"Yes...I'm dead, leave me alone I'm dead" He replied, raising his hand, as the other pony chuckled.

"What a drama queen" He smiled, as a stallion soldier entered with a gravity gun, turning it on, and yanking three of the soldier's to him, before looking at the soldier talking to Pixel. "I'm good, I can still walk" He told the stallion who pointed the gravity gun in his direction, yanking him away fron Pixel. "WAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" He cried, getting sucked to the gravity weapon.

"That went well" Stryker smiled, as Jamie entered the arena.

"Well done you three" Jamie smiled, as Stryker gave her a soft grin.

"Thank's" He nodded, until she spoke.

"What do you say to a little one on one combat?" She offered, as Twilight, Pixel, and Stryker looked at each other before turning back to jamie.

"I think I'm good for now" Stryker told her, as she used her tech to yank his pulse rifle, and jetpack off him.

"You won't be needing those" She told him, and charged at him with full speed only for Stryker to dodge her twice, before charging at her. Jamie blocked him with her shield, and grabbed Stryker throwing him against the wall. The stallion got up while Pixel, and Scarlett who had changed back into her fused form...watched.

"I can do this all day" Stryker said coldly, as Jamie smiled.

"We'll see about that" She told him, as they both charged. Stryker dodged a punch, and threw her back into the wall, as Jamie pointed her arm cannon at him, and fired. Stryker dodged the blast with skill, and turned to her angrily.

"HEY....THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!!!" He shouted, as Jamie scoffed.

"You think your enemies will play fair?" She asked, as Stryker growled, firing his machine gun at her, forcing the mare to she block it with her shield. Stryker sped to his weapon's, and jetpack area, picking both of them up, and fired knocking Jamie back, as the two ended their fighting sesssion rather quickly.

"Very good Stryker, the Destroyer shouldn't pose a threat to you" She told him, as Stryker smiled.

"Your not so bad yourself" He complimented, as Pixel turned to him.

"Do you really have to go?" She asked, her voice sounding more worried.

"You know I do, but don't you worry Pixel, I'll come back to you I promise" Stryker told her, as he headed to the exit of the secret base.

"So...this goes all the way to the surface huh?" Stryker asked, as Shift turned to him.

"Apparently....here Sheriff" Shift told him, handing Stryker a special bullet. "This charge is strong enough to reduce the battlefield to rubble" Shift told him, as he grabbed it, and looked at the massive pointy bullet.

"Whoah....it's amazing" Stryker smiled, as Shift spoke worriedly.

"The only drawback is that the only powerful enough force to fire it, is your magic....your very own life force will be the only catalyst to fire this bullet, be careful with it" Shift told him, as Stryker sighed sadly.

"Thank you Shift.....I'll make it count" He told him, and headed to the surface, as Shift watched him go.

"Take care of yourself Sheriff" He sighed, as Stryker entered the surface, seeing the sandy city ahead.

"Off I go" He told himself with a groan, journeying back into the wasteland's....one last time.

Episdoe 5

"Aaaaannd....that's when Vampra returned for the second time, or maybe it was the third time, it all kind of run's together at this point" Shift told them, finishing the tales of their journey that he, and the Sheriff had gone through, as the pony soldier's listened with interest.

"WOW, I can't believe all the stories were true" One of the soldier's praised, as another spoke.

"How did you survive such treachery?" He asked, as Shift shrugged.

"A lot of luck, and a bit of smart's....Oh, and gun's.....LOT'S of gun's, speaking of gun's. I was watching the combat training between you guy's, and Stryker" Shift told them, as one pony chuckled.

"Yeah-heheah...wasn't that awesome?" He asked with a smile, as Shift gave him a disappointed look.

"Uh....no, I was not impressed" Shift told them, as the pony soldier sighed sadly.

"Oh" He replied, as Shift spoke up.

"Youv'e got an entire armory filled with impressive weapon's just sitting here collecting dust" He told them, pointing to the wall of weapon's the armory had behind him, as one pony soldier stuttered.

"Well...uh.....we don't exactly know how to use them" The soldier told him, as another spoke up.

"We kinda just take from Regalias, just to take" He told him, as Shift smiled.

"Well gentlecolt's, I believe a crash course of weapon's training is in order" Shift stated, as he led them all to the training room.

*****
Jamie looked at her mobile turret unit's, as she had managed to make sure one would work, and was activated on a jeep. Pixel finished sorting through her grenade's, while Twilight Sparkle was once again in her Scarlett Twinkle form, as she finished sharpening her scissors claw's, by rubbing them on a metal slab. The three mares soon entered the jeep, ready to head to Stryker's position. "Let's roll out" Pixel smiled, starting the jeep, and driving off at high speed's, entering the wasteland's after Stryker.

*****
The sandy city that Megatron, Stryker, and Raptus fought at, was no longer sandy. It was now, an icy cold tundra for some odd reason, but it's weather was the least concern, as Geneal Tarsaunus looked around in the heavy snow. "Hmmm....the snow is messing with the thermal scanner....all unit's keep an eye out for Stryker" General Tarsaunus ordered over the radio, as Megatron turned to him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked, General Tarsaunus

"The High Lord requested me to be here, and if need be...supervise you" The general answered, as Megatron scoffed.

"Provide.....Support? YOU Think I need the help of MAGGOTS, be gone with you....your presence irritates me" Megatron growled, unntil a gunshot rang out, knocking him back, as he turned to see that the shot came from Stryker.

"Your late" Megatron snarled, as Stryker lowered his pulse rifle.

"Last time I checked there were still 5 minutes left on the clock" Stryker snarled.

"I've been waiting a looooonng time for this" Megatron boasted, as Stryker fired multiple time's... knocking him back even further. Megatron transformed into his alien jet form, and blasted off, as Stryker charged at him with the use of his jetpack, while Tarsaunus opened a channel.

"My Lord, Stryker has made his apperance" General Tarsauns told him.

"Of course he did....keep me posted" Regalias boasted over the channel, before turning it off.

"Yes my lord" Tarsaunus nodded, as he watched the fight. Megatron flew through the air, as Stryker fired his machine gun. Megatron immedietly transformed, and blocked the machine gunfire, before returning fir with his cannon. The blast knocked Stryker back, as Megatron fired again. Stryker used his jet's to dodge the second blast, as he pulled out his cannon, and fired, forcing Megatron to the ground. Megatron growled, as he got up, and fired his flamethrower, while Stryker took off with his jet's again, dodging the flames.

Stryker vanished into a building, as Megatron roared. "STRYKER.....COME OUT, AND FIGHT ME YOU COWARD!!!!!!!" Megatron shouted, looking around. Stryker fired from the ruined hole in a building, disabling one of Megatron's legs, while Stryker smiled.

"I'M RIGHT HERE!!!!!!" Stryekr shouted, as Megatron pointed his cannon toward's the sound of the voice. "OH NO YOU DON'T!!!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, aiming his pulse rifle, as both of them fired, creating a massive explosion.

*****
A lone Regalias pony soldier was guarding a specific area, feeling the cold wind on his face, as he heard his comm's open. "Eschelon 1 this is perimeter guard, what's your status?" He asked, as the soldier looked around, and spoke.

"All clear...nothing to report over....wait, hold on" The pony soldier stated, as he turned to see Pixel's jeep run past him, knocking him off his feet, as she came to a stop.

"Hello there" She cooed softly, while a machine gunfire tore him apart quickly, thank's to Jamie's installation of it. After severely wounding the pony, the three drove off again.

Episode 6 (Slight Gore)

The injured Reglias soldier crawled to the radio, after he had been almost taken apart by machine gunfire, as he spoke into it with very little breath left. "Pixel, the armored pony, and the crazy pony have arrived. They have entered the city p-premises" He reported, before fully dying. Pixel's jeep raced by at top speed's, not caring to stop at all. They all were soon forced to stopped the jeep, seeing a roadblock ahead.

"And here come's the cavalry" Jamie sighed, as a pony rasied a gun at them.

"STOP....IN THE NAME OF THE HIGH LORD!!!!!!" He shouted, as Jamie turned to Pixel. "Drop me off here" She told her, causing Pixel to turned to the mare.

"You gonna' be ok?" Pixel asked, as Jamie stepped out of jeep.

"I'll be fine, you two go find those hostages, I'll catch up with you girl's" She told them, as Scarlett spread one of her claw's.

"Don't be late" She told her softly, while Pixel nodded.

"Got it, take care of yourself" Pixel told Jamie, before she started the jeep, and took off at high speed's. Jamie immedietly opened fire with her cannon, killing one pony, while forcing them out of the way, as Pixel's jeep smashed through the roadblock, and kept on going.

"THE ENEMY HAS BROKEN THROUGH THE BARRICADE....BE ON HIGH ALERT....The rest of you....AFTER HER!!!!!!" They shouted, and all charged at Jamie who smiled.

"Show time" She grinned, as she charged at all the enemy pony soldier's. Pixel drove, as fast as she could, until she stopped the jeep with her, and Scarlett getting out, spotting a hostage that had crawled away.

"ARE YOU OK!?!?!!?!?!?!?" Pixel shouted, tearing off his gag, and blind.

"D-Do I look ok to you" He whined, as she stuttered.

"Uuuummmm....well your okay now, come on" Pixel told him, bringing the stallion with her, while Scarlett followed. "Where are the other's, are they still alive?" Pixel asked, as the freed hostage stuttered.

"Uh....I don't know, I was blinded, and gagged....I just kinda squirmed for my life, know what I'm saying?" He told her, as Pixel prodded for more.

"Please....anything you can remember" She told him, as the stallion spoke.

"I feel like....I wriggled from that direction" He told her poiting to a dark building nearby.

"Yeah, that'll be it, stay here you'll be safe" She told him, while the stallion raised his arm's, letting out a whine..

"DON'T LEAVE ME!!!!!!!!" He shouted to her, while Scarlett stopped Pixel, who was heading to that specific building the hostage pointed out.

"HEY....WHAT GIVES!?!?!?!?!?!?" Pixel shouted, as Scarlett smiled.

"AHAHAHAHAHA....Ooooohh booooyyy....did you forgot the certain place that I was trapped in, I may not be evil anymore, but I've still picked up a few trick's, and persona from that place, and because of that....I know the best way to save those hostages from that building, which has many chances of having inky black shadows....dark enough for me to maneuver" She told her, while Pixel raised her eyebrow.

"What do you have in mind?" She asked, as Scarlett laughed.

"AHAHAHAHAHA....It's time for me to have a liiiiiittttllleee fun." She cooed, her neck cracking, as she looked at the buidling, spreading one of her claw's.

*****
Jamie dodged the massive gunfire from two of the soldier's, and fired...killing two of them instantly, as a third fired. Jamie blocked him with her shield, and fired her shield gun which placed a familair bullet on his helmet "WHAT THE....." He stamered, as she activated the magnet's on the bullet...yanking the stallion toward's her. "HUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!" The stallion cried, as his face met Jamies fist, the mare burying him into the ground. She turned to see two soldier's far away, as one of them had binocular's, and the other had a rocket launcher.

"Raise elevation by 20 degrees" The soldier told the other, as the second soldier rasied the rocket launher.

"Launcher raised.....target locked" He told him, as the other soldier gave him the order to fire, while the soldier with the rocket launcher pulled the trigger. Jamie used her charged magnet's to catch the missile, turn it in the oppsosite direction, and fire it back at them.

"Oh....dear...fuck" The stallion groaned, as they were both blown to bit's easily. The stallion that Jamie pounded into the ground had woken up, as he pulled out his radio.

"Sentry unit....we've been wiped out, s-single pony.....the armored one. She's unstoppable.....OOOOOOHHHHH!!!!!!" He cried in a dying yoda voice, as the guard that watched the hostages in the building heard the radio go silent.

"Perimiter guard's been wiped out, let's move out" He told the other guard who pointed at the hostages.

"What do we do about them?" The pony asked, as the other spoke.

"Get rid of them, they've served their purpose in drawing Stryker out" He told them, as the hostages huddled together...now terrifed.

"Oh goodie, I was getting sick off dragging them around anyway" The soldier smiled, pointing a gun to the head of one of the hostages. At that moment the light's turned off, leaving the buidling in complete darkness. "What the hell.....who turned off the light's?" A soldier asked, as he heard an echoing mare's laughter fill the air.

"Who is that?" Another pony shouted, as Scarlett Twinkle zoomed past them, startling the guard's, who fired their gun's at empty air. The stallion's felt their heart's racing fast.....fear keeping them on the edge, their hand's shaking, as creepy humming filled the air, which was soon replaced by laughter.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA.....Alright Pooonnnyy.....were gonna plaaaaaayy a little game" Scarlett Twinkle coeed, as she sped out of the darkness, and speed slashed one of the guard's, until he was nothing, but a mush of flesh, and bones. The other stallion fired out of pure terror, as Scarlett sliced every bullet in half, while sending one to knock the gun out of his hand's. The stallion tried to be brave, and charged at her which ended up being a cruel mistake.

Scarett kicked him back, and tornado slashed him, as if his body was put into a woodchipper, mulchy blood, gut's, and blood red stain's were now permanently sprayed on the building's wall's, as the light's came on, and Pixel roped down from the ceiling. "FOR CHRIST SAKE SCARLETT.....THAT WAS WAY TOO OVERKILL!!!!!!" Pixel shouted, as Scarlett blushed guiltingly hiding her face behind her claw's, going from pure insane....to over the top innocent, and cute instantly.

"S-Sorry....h-habit" She sighed, shaking the blood off her claw's, as she and Pixel untied both of the hostages, and yanked their blindfold's off, along with their gag's.

"GET OUTSIDE THERE'S A CAR WAITING FOR YOU!!!!!!" Pixel shouted to them, as they both thanked the two mares, and ran outside. Pixel, and Scarlett suddenly heard the battle between Megatron, and Stryker nearby, and pursued to find him.

*****
Stryker was knocked back with a loud groan, as Megatron pointed his cannon at him. "What's the matter Stryker....is that all you've got?" Megatron asked, as Stryker forced himself up. "I was impressed at first, there was promise of a challenge, but obviously I was wrong" Megatron snarled, as Stryker pulled out the special bullet Shift gave to him.

"There's no other way....I have to use it" Stryker told him, as Megatron aimed his flamethrower at him.

"I will end you" Megatron snarled, preparing to fire.

"Let's finish this" Stryker smiled, ready to fight Megatron with all he had.

Episode 7

The blizzard was massive around the abandoned city, but did not silence the action that was happening in it. Stryker was knocked back by an attack from Megatron, as he readied his jetpack, and took off, diving for cover. Megatron transformed out of his jet mode, as he searched the area for Stryker. "Stop running Stryker, you can only prolong your end for so long" Megatron growled, as Stryker inhaled deeply, before speaking.

"Oh yeah, we'll see about that" He told him, as he looked at the bullet that Shift gave him, that required his life force to charge, and fire it. "Here goes nothing" Stryker smiled, as he put the bullet in his pulse rifle, hearing a voice spoke from it.

"Warning, calamity charge loaded, local clearance required" The voice stated, as Stryker spoke.

"My name is Sheriff Stryker" He told the computer, as it spoke.

"Sheriff Stryker please authorize your magical life force to fuel it" The voice spoke, while Stryker snarled.

"Do it" He told the computer, as he activated his jet pack, rushing out to confront Megatron.

"There you are" Megatron growled, turning his attention to Stryker who aimed the weapon at him.

"I'M GONNA FINISH THIS!!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, as he pointed his weapon high into the sky, red lightning charging the weapon, and draining his life force, while Megatron growled.

"I've had enough of your trick's Stryker....." He growled arming his cannon. "....I will crush you" He snarled, as he trasnsformed into his jet form, and blasted off at Stryker at full speed. Stryker fired the gun, as the lightning struck Megatron, who growled, while the blast struck him. Megatorn pushed through the beam with every ounce of strength, his jet form's thrusters burning hotter than ever before. Stryker charged at Megatron with the beam still going thank's to the use of his Jetpack, pushing Megatron back.

A loud explosion occured, as a burning Megatron in jet form, spun out of control, slamming into a building, tearing off his right wing, and crashing into a more massive building, creating another explosion. There's was a whirring sound, as spark's, and electricity zapped from a half alien jet, half Megatron fused together, as his eyes shut for good. Stryker was on the ground motionless, in a vast sea of darkness. He wasn't breathing at all. His gun layed on the ground, and part's of his jetpack was on the ground near him.

At that moment, Pixel, and Scarlett showed up, seeing Stryker laying there motionless. "STRYKER....NOOOOOO!!!!!" They both cried, as they rushed over to him, and held the stallion in their arms. "NO,NO,NO,NO, NO,NO!!!!!" Pixel whimpered, as Scarlett tried to wake him, but to no avail.

"Get up....COME ON STRYKER.....GET UP!!!!!!!" Scarlett cried, while tears began to roll down Pixel's face.

"Please get up Stryker" She whimpered, as Jamie watched from far away, seeing where they were.

"Why....why did you have to do this Stryker....it should have been me" Scarlett cursed at herself, also feeling tear's stream down her face.

"Stryker.....it wasn't suppose to end like this.....you said you'd be back" Pixel cried, her voice breaking, as Jamie sighed.

"Pixel....." Jamie began, until Pixel threw a huge piece of a building at the golden mare, while she cried.

"HE CAN'T LEAVE ME LIKE THIS.....I.....I....." She stammered before she broke down crying....her uncontrolled sobbing, returning. "A-After all this...we're finally back together again" She sniffled, as her crying continued. Scarlett let Pixel come near her, while she held Stryker close to her body with Pixel to the right of her, as she began to sing one of her creepy lullaby's, but this one sounding...more sad, and broken than the one's she usually sang.

"Scarlett, Pixel....I'm so sorry, but this is war" Jamie sighed, as Pixel shouted.

"WHY'D YOU HAVE TO OFF, AND BE A HERO!!!!!!" She shouted, punching him in the stomach, getting a huge gasp from Stryker, and waking him up.

"OOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" He cried, as Scarlett stopped singing, as the two mare's gasped.

"Your alive!?!?!?!!?" They gasped, while Stryker groaned.

"Oooooowwwww, everything hurt's" Stryker moaned painfully, as both mare's giggled, crushing Stryker in a bear hug, while he squirmed painfully, feeling his pain worsen. "Pixel....Scarlett.....no....your killing me" He groaned, as a sensor in Jamie's headgear went off.

"Proximity alert, enemy motion detected" The voice in her headgear spoke. Peering from behind a corner, General Tarsaunus watched them, before turning on a radio.

"Retreival squad come in, this is General Tarsaunus I require immediate extraction....oooohhhh" He cried, as the radio was shot out of his hand, while Jamie looked at him with her cannon rasied after spotting him.

"I got your extraction right here" She told him, before picking him up, and throwing him to the ground. Pixel, Scarlett, and Stryker joined Jamie, after Stryker had recovered from his wound's, and looked at Tarsaunus with a smile.

"Well, well, well look who it is" He grinned, as Scarlett also smiled.

"Ooooooohhh.....a new play toy" She cooed, spreading her claw's with a psychotic grin on her face. Jamie looked at Stryker, raising another radio that was on Tarsaunus that had a private communication to Regalias,. "Huh....let me see that" He told her, as he opened the channel. In a similar setting of what High Lord Vampra had in The Grid, Regalias turned his mechanical throne, speaking through the private radio.

"Tarsaunus, what's going on?" Regalias asked, as Stryker replied.

"Uuhhh....everything is going a-ok....looking pretty good, how are you today?" Stryker asked, causing Regalias to scoff.

"Who is this?" He snarled, while Stryker smiled, dropping the act.

"You know who it is" He grinned with Regalias quickly taking the hint of who he was talking to.

"Stryker...." He growled, as Stryker spoke.

"I'm not sure what's been happening, while I was gone Regalias, but don't think it'll last" Stryker told him, until Regalias laughed.

"HA.....so you've beaten the Destroyer, no matter" He told him, while Stryker scoffed.

"NO MATTER.....you sound just like Vampra.....a cheap, budget discount store Vampra" Stryker chuckled, causing Scarlett to cover her mouth with her claw's, trying to stifle her laughter, until Regalias spoke up immedietly.

"SHUT UP!!!!!! I WILL CRUSH YOU, AND THE REBELLION, AND EVERYTHING YOU CARE ABOUT!!!!!!!!" He shouted.

"Keep telling yourself that, maybe then your mom can tell you that it's past your bedtime, or was your face always's genetically designed to look like a pile of shit, I don't remember either way....see you soon." Stryket smiled, as he disconnected the radio, while Regalias crushed his radio with his hand's.

"STRYKER......STRRRRRYYYKKKKKEEEERRRR.....AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" He whined, shaking his fist's in the air, acting a bit like a toddler, before turning to another radio, and opening the channel. "I WANT THREE ARMORED PERSONAL UNITS FOR EVERY REBEL SOLDIER!!!!!!!!" He hissed at the engineer, who stammered in response.

"B-But My Lord that's highly unreasonable we don't have anywhere near enough amount of resources we require" The engineer told him, as Regalias snarled.

"THEN HAVE SOURCE, LABOR, AND CONSTRUCTION GO TO SOME OUTSIDER.....DEPLOY WHATEVER WAR MACHINE IS ON THE MARKET!!!!!!!!!!" Regalias roared, while the pony bowed.

"Y-yes my lord" He replied, as the communication's ended with Regalias letting out a cold snarl.

"Just you wait Stryker" He grumbled, waiting for Stryker to make his move.

Episode 8

Darknesss was all around Tarsaunus in the rebel base, as he was chained to the wall. A light creepy buzzing was heard, as Tarsaunus gasped, returning from consciousness. "H-Huh...what's going on, where am I?" Tarsaunus asked, as a rebel soldier on the one way looking glass, spoke with everyone else behind him.

"This is an awful idea, this is a containment breach waiting to happen" A soldier complained.

"That's one of Regalias's General's" Another pointed out, as a third soldier turned to Stryker.

"Why did you bring him here?" The soldier asked him.

"What if he escapes, it'll reveal the location of our base" A fourth asked Stryekt along with the third, causing Pixel to speak up.

"It's fine, we had him uncsonscious, the entire way here....he know's nothing" Pixel told them, another soldier turning to Jamie.

"Still this is super risky" He told the gold mare.

"It's a risk we'll have to take, he's going to provide some very valuable information.....isn't that right?" Jamie asked through the open mic of the room, as Tarsaunus scoffed.

"I will tell you nothing, your pathetic, and traitorus rebellion will be....." he rambled, as Shift turned to them.

"Eh...big talk for a pony chained up in a dark basement" He told them, while Scarlett cackled.

"Let me at 'em....I want to have my fun playing with him" She cooed softly, causing Stryker to turn to everypony with a grin of his own.

"Alright, who want's to go first?" Stryker asked, as Pixel was the first to interrogate Tarsaunus.

"WHERE ARE THE HOSTAGES!?!?!!?!?" She shouted, as he scoffed.

"I won't tell you....." Tarsaunus began, until Pixel punched him in the stomach, causing him to groan.

"WHERE ARE THEY, WHERE ARE THE HOSTAGES!?!?!?!?!" She shouted, as Stryker spoke through the comm's.

"Alrighty thank you Pixel, I think he get's the idea" Stryker told her, as she turned to Tarsaunus with a growl.

"Watch yourself" Pixel snarled, before walking away, as Stryker entered the room.

"Come on Tarsaunus, don't be difficult" Stryker told him, as Tarsaunus sighed.

"Ah, the good cop, bad cop routine" He grimaced.

"Where are the other hostages?" Stryker asked, as Tarsaunus scoffed.

"FOOL, you should have taken them, and left....too busy playing heroes to realize, we snatched them right back, they're probably locked up in some cell back at The Grid now" He answered, as Stryker shook his head with a sigh.

"Don't you see what your doing is wrong, your destroying your own kind" Stryker told him.

"High Lord Regalias has a supreme vision for an ideal future" Tarsaunus told him, but Stryker pushed the issue further.

"And this supreme vision consist's of turning The Grid into a prison camp?" Stryker asked.

"He's RESTORED order, and control....peace has it's price" Tarsaunus snarled, causing Stryker to scoff.

"You'd rather get in line than fight back, he'll get rid of you, as soon as he see's fit" Stryker pointed out.

"If that is his will.....SO BE IT!!!!!!!" He snarled, as Stryker exited the room, speaking to Jamie, Scarlett, and Pixel.

"He's hopeless, he's too lost to the cause, we're not going to get anything out of him" He told them, causing Scarlett laughed.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA.....welll time for me to rip him apart, and play with his blood. A shame, I wanted him to be my toy to torture" Scarlett snarled, as she spread her claw's...bloodthirsty for a kill, until Shift spoke up...stopping her.

"Let me have a go" He smiled, as Shift entered the room. "General Tarsaunus you, and your squad are in charge of rounding up deviant ponies, and repurposing them, during the Great Nightmare War. You were sent to military prison after selling out General Lightning Dust, as countless ponies went through your anamalistic educational program's, but Lightning Dust knew you were going to sell her out, and gave evidence to send you to said military prison. Civilian's, and children were made to fight in the war" Shift told him.

"All ponies have been organically different since creation with a purpose, some are more combat oriented like Stryker, other's are imbued with higher thinking like you, but those values can be warped, re-alictaed, a ponies based nature can be changed to fit what is needed, and at that time THE GRID needed SOLDIERS!!!!!!!" Tarsaunus bellowed.

"YOU TOOK MY SISTER FROM ME!!!!!!!!" Shift shouted, as Tarsaunus struggled against the chain's.

"I TORE HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES APART FOR THE CAUSE!!!!!!!" Tarsaunus screamed back, causing Shift to let out a pained sigh.

"Well Jamie, I tried" He huffed, until Tarsaunus spoke.

"Did you say Jamie?" He asked.

"WHAT....you know her?" Shift asked, which made Tarsaunus scoff.

"Forget it...I said nothing" He told him, as rage coursed through every fiber of Shift's being, and for a few minutes....he snapped.

"Tell me what you know" Shift told him, his voice sounding dark with Stryker immedietly seeing this, and knew he needed to take it down a notch.

"Oh no, Shift is totally playing into his hand's....." Stryker realized, as he opened the comm's. "SHIFT......Buddy, he's messing with you don't let him get to your....." Stryker attempted to warn, as Shift cut off the comm's, snarling at Tarsaunus.

"Talk" Shift told him, while Tarsaunus turned away.

"No" Tarsaunus replied.

"TALK!!!!!!" Shift shouted.

"NO, LIKE I'D EVER SUBMIT TO....AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" Tarsaunus screamed, as Shift pulled out a sinister eletrical prod, and zapped him with tendrils of electricity, until Tarsaunus coughed. "W-What are you doing?" Tarsaunus asked, as Shift growled.

"EVERY TIME YOU DENY ME AN ANSWER.....I'LL TURN UP THE VOLTAGE ON THIS THING!!!!!!!!" He screamed, causing Tarsaunus to panic.

"W-What do you want to know?" Tarsaunus stuttered, as Shift spoke at him...enraged.

"EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!" Shift shouted.

"Your sister....she had an incredible affintity for combat, there was so much latent potential in her, but the mind....it can only handle so much, we wiped her mind clean, long term, and short term memories we're gone...to make room for more comabt values" Tarsaunus told him, as Shift's next voice was of shock, and slowly had part's of his insanity in it.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!?!?!?!?!?!?" Shift shouted, as he raised the voltage, and zapped Tarsaunus again, his scream's echoing throughout the room.

"E-Even with the re-education her moral sentimental being was too strong, despite having no memories, she knew what we we're doing was wrong, she broke free of the program.....AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" Tarsaunus screamed, after Shift zapped him again, before pointing the prod to his neck, ready to kill him.

"WHERE IS SHE NOW!?!?!!?!?!?!" Shift screamed, as Tarsaunus screamed his reply.

"AAAAAHHH....I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!" He screamed, as Shift was about to kill him, until Stryker bursted into the room, and tackled him.

"GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!!!!!!!!" Stryker told him, while Shift struggled trying to get free.

"GET OFF ME!!!!!!!" Shift shouted, but Stryker lifted him up, and punched him in the face.

"Your better than this" Stryker told him, while Shift got up, and breathed deeply.

"Sorry Sheriff I lost it for a moment there" Shift told him, as a rebel soldier on the other side spoke.

"Wow, kinda sound's like what you went through Goldie" The soldier told Jamie, as she looked at him, and then back at Tarsaunus, hiding her unbridled rage. Inside the room, Stryker spoke again.

"We're willing to let you go if your willing to facilitate an exchange for the prisoner's" Stryker told him.

"I believe that can be arranged" Tarsaunus nodded.

"Perfect, until then....enjoy your stay" Stryker told him, and left the room ending the interrogation, as everyone else went with him. During the interrogation, Shift had dropped Tarsaunus's radio, as Regaiias opened a channel through it.

"General...can you hear me?" Regalias asked, as Tarsaunus planned to fill him in.

Episode 9

Tarsaunus immedietly responded to General Regalias filling him with his recent report. "My Lord, my life is meanigless DO NOT relinquish the prisoner's in exchange for......." He never finished his sentence, as a gun went off, and destroyed the radio, causing Tarsaunus turned to a rage fueled Jamie. "Y-Y-Y-Your....." He stammered, as she fired the gun multiple times, each going near his face, as he whined. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!" He cried.

"Leave you alone.....YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE YOU ALONE, AFTER ALL YOU'VE DONE TO ME......." She shouted, as she punched him in the stomach. "......YOU'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING FROM ME.....RRRRRGGGHHH.....I HAVE NO MEMORY....RRRRGGGHHH" She screamed, as she punched him multiple times, and even kicked the post he was tied to down, with him still chained to it. "I HAVE NO HOME......NO FAMILY......" She shouted, until Pixel entered the room.

"GOLDIE.....STOP.....STOP IT!!!!!! What''s wrong with you?" Pixel asked, looking at her. "You can't turn into them" Pixel told the golden mare.

"Do you know what he's DONE TO ME!?!?!!?!?!?" Jamie asked her, as Pixel looked at her confused.

"Uuuuuh......no?" She asked with curiosity.

"He wiped my memories, and turned me into a weapon......HE RUINED MY LIFE....SO STAY OUT OF IT!!!!!!!!!" Jamie shouted, but Pixel wasn't fazed, and spoke calmly.

"Goldie, I'm sorry....but if we sink to their level what makes us any different from them?" Pixel asked, as Jamie snarled.

"I'm sick of not knowing who I am.....I'M SICK OF THIS WAR PIXEL, I'M SICK OF FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!" Jamie told her, causing Pixel to sigh.

"I am too, I just want thing's to go back to the way they were, but we're not fighting for us....it's for the ponies living in The Grid, our freedom is their freedom....now come on we need you" Pixel told her, as Jamie began to walk past her, until a familiar voice spoke.

"It's been so long since I watched over my kingdom, I forgot what those word's meant" Twilight Sparkle told her, appearing without being in her Scarlett Twinkle form.

"How long have you been standing there?" Pixel asked, as Twilight walked up, and spoke to the mare.

"Too long Pixel, but I'm glad you learned a lot when I used to be Princess of Equestria" Twilight told her, as Pixel smiled, hiding a small blush.

"It was such an old habit, but it's glad to have you with us Twilight" Pixel told her, as the two of them hugged.

"I'm glad your my friend Pixel" Twilight smiled, as the two turned to see Jamie walk out of the room, until she stopped, turning toward's them.

"Thank you.....both of you" Jamie told them, as she went to her quarters.

*****
"This was not part of the plan" The soldier complained.

"Plan's will alway's change, and we need to be ready for that" Stryker him, as they all armed their weapon's.

"You can't expect us to face Regalias in a full on assault, we're more used to hit, and run tactics." Another soldier warned.

"This day was coming,......sooner, or later I understand some of you are upset, and maybe even afraid, but the time to strike is now.....we won't have another chance like this" Stryker told them, until a familiar face entered the room rather quickly.

"Heeeeeeee's right ya know" Twilight cooed in her Scarlett Twinkle form.

"But what if something goes wrong, it's gonna' head south real fast?" A soldier asked, as Stryker spoke up again.

"We need to expect the unexpected, and prepare for the worst" Stryker answered the soldier, as more of them prepared their weapon's.

"Regalias probably has his troop's right outside The Grid" Stryker told Shift, who turned to him with a smile.

"I'll have our ammunition maxed out" He told Stryker, and finished repairing Stryker's gear that he used to face Megatron.

"Do you think Regalias will deliver the prisoners?" A soldier asked.

"Whether he does, or not....we have no choice, this plan is already in motion" Stryker answered.

*****
Stryker began with a lot of basic weapon's training for the pony soldier's, beginning his announcement "Properly hefting your weapon will make the difference between, hitting your target, and spraying bullet's all over the place. I know you aren't fully soldier's, but understanding the basic's will raise our combat efficency." He told them, as he went over, seeing one pony, angling the weapon he had....near the ground. "What are you doing.....shooting the floor?" Stryker asked, as the pony raised his weapon higher. After they we're done all of them were gathered around Stryker.

"Remember, our priority is to rescue the prisoner's, once their safety is ensured, we can then re-take The Grid, keeping citizens away from the conflict is our main priority.....LET'S MOVE OUT!!!!!!" Stryker shouted.

*****
The abandoned city was the perfect place for the final showdown that would end this adventure once, and for all. Pixel, Stryker, and the soldiers were all waiting out in the open with a chained up Tarsaunus along with them, ready for anything. Twilight Sparkle was also there in her Scarlett Twinkle form, hiding in the darkest shadow's, her body spread like a spider, ready to ambush it's prey. Shift, and Jamie were with a few other's ready....and waiting. "Status report?" Stryker asked through the radio.

"It's all quiet on my end, a little too quiet" Shift answered, as another soldier replied from a different area.

"Same here it's practically a ghost town." He told him, as Stryker sighed.

"Come on Regalias, show yourself" Stryker growled, as one of the pony's noticed something.

"Uh-oh....they weren't there before...uuuuuhhh Stryker we got a problem" He spoke through the radio, causing Stryker to tune in.

"Is it Regalias?" Stryker asked.

"Uuuhhhh....noooo, I think Regalias made some new friend's" The pony told him, as Papyrus, Deathstroke, and a masked female mercenary all stood with gun's loaded.

"HANG ON.....WE'RE COMING!!!!!!!" Shift shouted, until their was a loud boom as a stolen, Iron man Hulkbuster armor landed in front of them... weapon's armed.

"Uh-oh....we got trouble" The soldier spoke, as Shift turned noticing the armor.

"What the fuck is that?" Shift asked, as the Hulkbuster armor powered up.

"SHIFT....WHAT'S GOING ON!?!?!?!?!?!?" Stryker shouted through the comm's.

"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!!!!!!!" Shift screamed through the comm's.

"HANG ON I'LL BE RIGHT THERE!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, ready to actiavte his jetpack, only for Regalias to appear in one of the massive mech's he created.

"Your not going anywhere Stryker" Regalias growled, arming the mech's gun's.

Episode 10

Booming, and gunfire echoed around the area, as the fight began to rage on. Deathstroke, and Papyrus we're using their specific weaponry to fire at the pony soldiers. One was hit by Deathstroke, and crawled to cover...clearly wounded, while the other pony soldiers held their ground.

"I'm out of ammunition" One soldier told the commander who was firing at their enemies.

"Take the injured, and retreat, I'll cover you" The commander replied, and continued firing, while the female mercnary sighed, pulling out a big machine gun.

"Let's get this over with" She grumbled, and opened fire...forcing the ponies to fall back.

"All too easy, target in my sight's" Slade told the female mercenary, who grinned in response.

"Let's see how this goes" She chuckled, as she moved her machine gun to another position with the other's following pursuit, causing one of the soldier's to cry through the radio.

"WE NEED BACK-UP....I REPEAT WE NEED BACK-UP!!!!!!!" He screamed through the comm's, while Stryker growled.

"Regalias, call off your forces" Stryker snarled, as Regalias waved a taunting finger in return.

Ah, ah, ah, ah first thing's first....you have something that belong's to me, return the general to me at once" Regalias told him, as Stryker growled.

"Rrrrrggghhh....Pixel, let him go" Stryker told her, as she freed Tarsaunus, who ran toward's Regalias.

"My Lord you do care" He sighed happily.

"SILENCE!!!!!!!!" Regalias shouted at him.

"We did what you wanted Regalias, now call of the attack" Stryker demanded, as Regalias scoffed.

"After all this time, I really thought this world would have changed you, but you still remain as gullible as ever" Regalias smiled, surprising Stryker.

"But you said you would....." Stryker began, but Regalias interrupted him.

"I said nothing" Regalias smiled, as Stryker charged at Regalias with the use of his jetpack, while Regalias opened fire. Stryker dodged, while Pixel, and the soldier all spread out, fighting the mech that met them on all front's.

"IT'S OVER STRYKER!!!!!!" Regalias shouted, as Stryker smiled.

"We'll see about that" Stryker grinned, activating his jetpack again.

*****
The pony commander was hiding behind cover, as he turned to the other soldier who had the wounded with them. "How are they looking?" He asked, as one of the pony soldier's shook his head.

"It's not looking good, they cannot move very well" The soldier replied, as the commander looked at where their enemies were.

"I'm not getting any message back from the other's" He told his men.

"What if they're also under atta....." One of them beagn, until the commander interupted them.

"Shhhhhh" He hushed him, as he heard the mercenaries walk by looking for them.

"I'm a' run out, and distract them, ya'll stay put" The commander told them, as a soldier looked at him worriedly.

"DUDE....NO!!!!!!" He shouted, but the commander ignored him, and jumped out in front of Deathstroke.

"HEY!!!!!!!" The commander shouted, as Deathstroke pulled out a katana. The pony opened fire on all three merncearies, as Deathstroke sliced each bullet in half, while the ones that hit the masked female mercenary bounced off her harmlessly. One blast hit Papyrus in the head, severing it from his undead skeleton torso which his body began walking around cluelessly searching for it.

"Now what?" Deathstroke sighed, seeing the state Papyrus was in, as the commander used that oppurtunity to run in the opposite direction, while the female mercenary picked up Papyrus's head.

"Get on with it" She told Deathstroke who nodded in response.

"I'm on it" Slade replied, as he pursued after the pony commander, while the female mercenary let out an audible groan.

*****
Shift ran for his life, until a blast from the Hulknuster, knocked him to the ground. Jamie, and the soldier fired at it from all sides, but the mech fired both it's arm's at Jamie, and the pony soldier....knocking them to the ground. The soldier had perished from the blast, while Jamie went up to him, trying to keep him alive, but to no avail. The Hulkbuster fired at Shift again, but Jamie quickly blocked the blow with her shield.

"GOLDIE!!!!!!" Shift shouted, as Jamie turned to him.

"GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!" She screamed, as she took blast after blast from the Hulkbuster, desperately blocking it with her shield. A loud explosion happened, as both her, and Shift flew back...Jamie's helmet flying off with it them. Shift pulled himself off the ground, seeing Jamie's helmet on the cold snowy land.

"OH NO......GOLDIE!!!!!!" He realized, until the wind blew the other ripped half of his family picture toward's him that showed Jamie, and his mother. When Shift caught the picture, and saw it....the gear's in his head began to turn, piecing the puzzle together. "N-No...it can't be....." He gasped, putting the two halves of the picture together, realizing it was indeed the other half. "....A-A-All this time...." He stammered, until he saw Jamie get up...unmasked, seeing her grown up...beautiful face. ".....Jamie?" Shift asked, as the Hulkbuster turned to Shift, and raised it's arm.

"SHIFT WATCH OUT!!!!!!!" Jamie cried, as it fired.

*****
Regalias continued firing his mech's weapon's, as he smiled. "Ah....I miss being on the frontlines" He grinned, as Stryker fired multiple machine gun shot's, making Regalias block the attack's, and return fire. Stryker activated his Jetpack, and fired his cannon again, hitting the left arm machine gun, as it began to spark.

"Aaaahhh....it's jammed" Regalias cursed, as Stryker screamed.

"PIXEL NOW!!!!!!" He shouted, as another soldier fired at Regalias striking him, while Pixel fired her gun's at the mech's leg's bringing it down. Stryker quickly charged, and hit it hard enough to knock the mech on it's back, making a thundering boom on impact. Stryker activated his jetpack, and quickly ripped the cockpit open, standing in front of Regalias. "Call of your forces" Stryker told him, as Regalias scoffed.

"Your threat's won't work on me" Regalias told him, as Stryker aimed his cannon at his face.

"CALL THEM OFF!!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, as somewhere else, Deathstroke had found the pony commander, and was ready to execute him, until he recieved a transmission from the radio his squad carried.

"All forces halt the attack" The voice told him.

"Come again?" Slade asked.

"The High Lord's life is in danger, you are all being re-called....immedietly" He ordered Deathstroke who replied, lowering his pistol.

"Ok then, copy that" He sighed, as he went to the other mercenaries, while the pony commander breathed a sigh.

Regalias was torn from his mech, and thrown to a rock, as Stryker growled.

"Where are the prisomer's?" Stryker asked, as Regalias pondered.

"I can't recall, there's so many of them it's hard to keep track" Regalias smiled, until Stryker charged his pulse rifle at him, not having any of it.

"WHERE ARE THEY REGALIAS....IT'S OVER!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, as Regalias laughed.

"HAHAHAHAHA, is it though?" Stryker asked, as a weapon was cocked behind him, a familiar voice speaking....one that was corrupted, and one he hadn't heard in a long time.

"Hello Stryker" Raptus smiled, as Stryker gasped.

"No" He realized, after hearing that voice again.

Episode 11

Near the end of Season 2

The once thought dead Raptus was found, by Regalias's secret soldier's who spotted the twisted alicorn. "Dear god what is this thing?" The pony asked, as Entras turned to him

"We found it buried beneath the rubble" He told answered, as the scientist looked at him.

"AT VAMPRA'S FACILITY!?!?!!?!?" He asked, as Entras nodded.

"So this....this is a pony?" The scientist asked.

"Was a pony, nothing, but an alicorn monster now" He corrected, while the scientist poked, and prodded at Raptus.

"Is it....alive?" He asked, causing Entras to turn to the scientist, who looked a lot like a secret soldier.

"That's what I brought it to you for" Entras told him, who smiled in response.

"I'll see what I can do" The pony scientist nodded, as Raptus was brought to a cruel machine which fixed him with robotic part's, while Entras turned to the scientist with curiosity.

"Any progress?" Entras asked, as the scientist smiled.

"Indeed, I've scanned it's function's...it used to be an earth pony, that was used for stealth, and reconissance...designation, Raptus." He answered, causing Entras to raise an eyebrow.

"Interesting, wake him up" Entras told him, as electricity zapped Raptus's transformed body, who woke up, breathing in a deep monstrous growl.

"Hello there" The scientist smiled, as Raptus looked around.

"Where am I, what is this place?" Raptus asked.

"Who are you, and what happened to you?" Entras asked.

"My name is Raptus, I was on a mission" Raptus answered, as Entras asked him another question.

"What was your mission?" Entras asked.

"I-I thought I died, I remember a strange blue, and pink pony with razor sharp, scissor claw's for hand's.....she was crazy, psychotic, and.....evil. My mission was to save Pixel with....Stryker...Stryker.....STRYKER....THAT CLAWED PONY MUST HAVE CORRUPTED HIM, WHERE IS STRYKER!?!?!?!?!?!?" Raptus shouted, as Entras turned to the scientist.

"Shut him down....NOW!!!!!!!" Entras screamed which the scientist quickly did so, making Raptus become unconscious again, as Emtras turned to the scientist again. "Time to wipe some memories" Entras smiled.

*****
"Hey....look at this" The scientist told Entras, as it viewed the memories in video form, as the two saw a frozen picture of Nightmare Stryker, standing next to what Scarlett Twinkle used to be when Twilight's curse was evil, and Nightmare Moon's puppet.

"I haven't seen anything like that since The Great Nightmare War, keep that in his memory....it may be a major threat to Regalias later in the future" Entras told him, as he continued re-working his memories. After a while they brainwashed him using the image of that pony, and Stryker to re-fuel his anger, and woke Raptus up again.

"Stryker betrayed you, and allied with a monster who killed you violently, and destroyed your original body, turning you into your monstrous form, but us....we're your friend's were gonna fix you" Entras told him, as Raptus stuttered.

"Fix....me?" He asked.

"Yes...make you stronger" Entras nodded, as Raptus growled.

"Stromger.....to....kill them...." He snarled, while Entras continued to update the scientist. With Stryker being counted, as deceased, and Vampra being gone soon reaching them, the scientist himself worked day, and night to finish the ultimate monstrous weapon....even when Regalias became the new High Lord. Eventually Raptus was ready, and before he arrived, the two greeted High Lord Regalias.

"This better be worth my time" Reglias told them, as the scientist smiled.

"High Lord....I present to you a new enforcer for your regime" The scientist grinned, revealing Raptus himself.

"It's hideous" Regalias scoffed.

"It's effective, it's terrifiying, and it's powerful" Entras told him, as Regalias smiled.

"I'll be the judge of that, prepare it for deployment" Regalias ordered, until Entras stopped him real quick before explaining the whole memory of Scarlett Twinkle that they had copied, as a separate picutre, which Regalias was looking at.

"Who is she?" Reglias asked, as Entras turned to the scientist.

"We don't know, but consisting on the look that Stryker has on his face, it seem's she may have Nightmare Moon's power" Entras told him, causing Regalias to let out a deep sigh.

"So....a new threat that has a memory from the past, has shown up at my door. We'll deal with traitor's first, then when we're done, we'll look into this matter" Regalias told them, and went to confront Stryker.

*****
"N-No, how is this possible?" Stryker asked.

"I've waited a long time for this Stryker" Raptus snarled, as Stryker raised his hand's openly.

"R-Raptus, we don't have to fight...." Stryker began, as Raptus grabbed Pixel who tried to squirm with no avail.

"You left me for dead, and now it's just you, and me....I will be the first to kill you Stryker because now it's my turn" Raptus growled, as Regalias got up, while the other soldier was forced to put his gun down with another of Regalias's men having a gun to his head.

"And to think you had it all wrapped up....fool, I can finally kill you, and Pixel.....your all alone Stryker" Regalias cackled, as Stryker was silent, before he burst out laughing with Raptus immedietly knowing what he had planned.

"You really thought it was that easy to put me in a bind Regalias? Raptus did that the last time he, and I fought, and told me those exact last word's...like I told you him, and I will always tell you....time, and time again....I....AM.....NEVER......ALONE!" Stryker told him, as Scarlett Twinkle bursted out of the shadow's, and sliced the head off Regalias's soldier, before charging, and tornado slashing Raptus. The warped alicorn roared, being knocked back from the attack, dropping Pixel.

"What took you so long, why weren't you here earlier?" Stryker asked, as Scarlett Twinkle turned to him, spreading her claw's.

"I was busy tearing apart Regalias's new Mecha pony creation's....they're all scrap metal now" She smiled, before turning back to Raptus.

"YOU!!!!" Raptus hissed, as Scarlett Twinkle smiled.

"Remember meeeeeee?" She cooed softly, as Raptus snarled.

"You tore me apart bitch" He growled, while Scarlett laughed.

"AHAHAHAHAHA.....I did some lethal damage to you didn't I, but don't worry, I get to have some more fun with you, I'll fight you aaaallll by myself" Scarlett smiled, as Regalias looked at the mare, recognizing her from Raptus's memory.

"Your the new being with Nightmare Moon's magic.....WHO ARE YOU!?!?!?!?!?!?" Regalias demanded, as Scarlett laughed.

"Oooooohhhh Regalias, I won't offer my identity just quite yet, how the mighty have fallen" Scarlett smiled, as Regalias pointed to Raptus.

"Kill her Raptus" Regalias snarled, as Tarsaunus spoke with alarm.

"My Lord, surely there were other option's than to use this monster?" Tarsaunus asked, as Regalias waved his hand.

"SILENCE GENERAL, I do not need your council, I want Stryker, his loved ones, and that bitch dead" Regalias growled, as Tarsaunus stuttered.

"B-But sir, this monster is a greater threat to The Grid than Stryker will ever be" Tarsaunus pointed out, as Regalias turned to him displeased.

"Your being awfully talkative General, don't make me regret my decision of saving you" Regalias pointed out, as Tarsaunus sighed with a large growl in his voice.

"Yes.....MY LORD!!!!!!" He snarled coldy.

Finale (Safe Ending)

Stryker was ready to rasie his gun, but Scarlett Twinkle stopped the stallion, putting her claw's in front of him. "No, I want to face him by myself Stryker" Scarlett told him, as Stryker stammered.

"S-Scarlett....I can't let you do that, Raptus could kill you with this form, or maybe there is a way to save him.....I CAN'T LET YOU FACE HIM ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, as Scarlett Twinkle turned to him with a smile.

"Stryker, I can sense from here that your friend is gone, when I was in the Nightmare Realm, I was cursed....I was never deceased, nor was I alive.....but a hollow shell outside of my existence. You freed me from that shell, you made me remember who I was...thank's to you, and Pixel. You even forgave me....after what I did to you, as my past self in that twisted nightmare. Raptus is deceased.....my memories were blocked, his are destroyed. I was a mare trapped in a cursed shell.....he is a walking corpse among the living. I was able to be brought back, but he.....doesn't want to be saved. If he lives....I cannot forget what I did to you, and your forgiveness will be meaningless" She told him, as Scarlett walked closer to him, before turning to Pixel.

"Pixel.....do you mind if I......." Scarlett Twinkle began, as Pixel gave her a heartwarming, and mischevious smile.

"You've earned it, just don't hog my Stryker too much, plus I get to have one after we're done" She answered, as Scarlett chuckled.

"Agreed" Scarlett told her, before she locked lip's with Stryker, as the two kissed passionetly before seperating, as Scarlett Twinkle turned to face Raptus, while Stryker blinked with suprise.

"Be careful.....Scarlett" He smiled, as she turned to him, and stuck her tongue out at him, while giving him a sly wink, before facing Raptus, and spreading her claw's.

"Nightmares....I was born, and Nightmares....I was raised, let's end this Raptus" She growled, getting in a battle stance, looking like a big spider that wasn't afraid to fight. Scarlett charged, as she tornado slashed his arm, but Raptus blocked her attack. He pushed Scarlett back, and snarled...before grabbing a piece of a building, and throwing it at her. Scarlett used her claw's to slice it in two, as she charged again. She slashed at his chest...blood spraying from the wound, as Raptus growled.

"Gaaahhh.....THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG....WHERE ARE THOSE BLASTED MERCENARIES!?!?!?!?!?!?" Regalias shouted, as he opened a channel to them, while the female masked mercenary....who had finally attached Papyrus's head to his body, heard the radio go off, as Deathstroke tossed it to her."What are you doing, I'm not paying you to sit around" Regalias told her, as the female mercenary smiled.

"Speaking of payment.....Where's.....My......Money!?" She snarled, as Regalias stuttered.

"Your money, ah yes your money.....I have it" Regalias told her, as she scoffed.

"No you don't" She growled, as Regalias tried to explain himself.

"Well you see with all the expendatures of updated equipment, and....." He started, but was interrupted by her.

"Aaaahhhh I see, so paying us was not your top priority" She told him, turning to Deathstroke who clenched his fist.

"No, no....that's not what I meant...." Regalias began again, until she cut him off once more.

"I see how it is, we'll be collecting that payment one way, or another.....bye" She cooed, hanging up the radio, as she, and her crew were now on the hunt for Regalias.

"Oh.....Oooohhhhh" Regalias realized, as it was very clear thing's weren't going well, and if Raptus lost.....he was done. Scarlett slashed Raptus three times, as he growled punching her back, but she stayed on her feet, until he picked up another piece of rubble, and threw it at her. Scarlett was knocked back, as Raptus rushed toward's her, grabbing the mare, and slammng her into two building's, then finally throwing her to the ground. Scarlett Twinkle was a bit wounded, but was not done, as she wiped the blood coming out of her mouth.

Scarlett charged with tremendous speed, and tornado slashed Raptus into the rubble. Scarlett Twinkle charged again, as Raptus got up, his fist meeting her claw's. She managed to knock Raptus back, and slashed him again. Raptus cried out in pain....hitting the ground, but Scarlett Twinkle was on him in a minute.

"AHAHAHAHAHA......It's ooooveeeerrr.....Goodbye" She smiled, as her claw's began non-stop speed slashing him. Raptus's face was reduced to a bloody, gory mess, his body shutting down for good, ending his life. Scarlett, looked up to see Shift, and Jamie appearing with the re-programmed Hulkbuster, under their control, as they waved to Scarlett, and Stryker who had both ended their fight's. They all turned to Regalias who now realized that his entire empire had crumbled. With the mercenaries after him, all his troop's dead, and gone...this time....Regalias was alone.

"No....No.....I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.....General....call in the garrison" Regalias told Tarsaunus who looked at Regalias, and the other's, and reflected back on the horrible decision's he had made, and realized how wrong they were. Tarsaunus looked at Stryker who nodded in agreement, as the General threw away his hat, ripped his cape off, and tore the Nazi symbols that he had worn off his uniform which were signifying his allegiance to Regalias.

"No....I was wrong about you....you don't care about The Grid, your not fit to lead it.....all these program's you've created with General Lightning Dust, all the ponies you ordered around, all the horrible thing's you've had all us do.....You never cared about Equestria....YOU ONLY FOUGHT IN the war because.....YOU WANTED TO COMMAND EQUESTRIA....you only cared about yourself" Tarsaunus snarled, as Regalias stepped back astonished by this, but was still delusional about all of it.

"TRAITOR'S....ALL OF YOU!!!!!!" Regalias shouted, as Stryker pointed to Regalias.

"Your the only traitor here Regalias" Stryker snarled. Silence fell over him, until Regalias fled for his life. Scarlett Twinkle quickly spread her claw's, and charged after him, tackling Regalias to the ground with a smile on her face.

"W-Who are you?" Regalias asked, as Scarlett grinned.

"Poor Regalias, I always did question your loyalties since day one, and I was hoping that one day that you would trip up, and show your true nature. I can't believe that I have waited for almost centuries when I quote on quote "sacrificed" myself to defeat Nightmare Moon, at least I lived to finally end you myself" Scarlett explained, as a look of horror was plastered on Regalias's face.

"Y-Your....." He stammered, as Scarlett smiled.

"That's riiiiiiggghhht, I am the long lost Princess of Equestria, Twilight Sparkle....and I am here to take back, what you have stolen from me" She told him, and raised her claw's, about to end his life, until Stryker raised his hand's.

"Scarlett...let him go, he's not worth it" He told her, as Scarlett stopped before looking at Stryker for a few minutes then getting off Regalias who fled for his life, as she smiled.

"He has no idea where he's going" She cackled, as Stryker couldn't help, but share said smile with her.

"He'll get what's coming to him" He grinned, as they watched him run.

*****
Regalias panted, coming to a stop near a wall, as he breathed deeply before turning to where his enemies were.
"You, and the Princess will pay for this Stryker.....YOU'LL ALL PAY!!!!!!" Regalias growled, as he began running again, only to be picked up, and slammed against the wall, by the female mercenary who had finally found him.

"My, my, all this talk about pay, and yet here we are" She smiled, as Regalias stammered.

"I-I don't have your money, I can't pay you" Regalias told her, as she smiled.

"Yes, I'm aware of that, but I'm sure you know....." She said coldly, as she pulled out a very huge sharp knife, her smile growing wider.

".....Equestrian magic pay's a hefty price on the black market, even Earth ponies have just the right magical strength buff's to be sold on the black market for my team, and I each to make a small fortune" She grinned, raising the knife.

"NO....NO.....NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Regalias screamed, as he was ripped apart, dissected, and gutted. The mercenaries took every part of him filled with Equestrian magic, leaving the rest of him, a rotting, torn open, limbless gory corpse that would be buried in the snow.

One Year Later
It had only been a year since everything was all said, and done. Twilight, and Pixel both shared being the rulers of New Equestria, which was slowly being rebuilt, and going back to it's orignal root's. They also worked on bringing the dump's of the wasteland's to life, filling it with such beautiful luster. These were step's to a brighter future, as construction vehicles drove from one place to the next to rebuild the city. Two ponies looked at the sign's for President Pixel, and Princess Twlight, as one pony turned to the other.

"Ya mis-spelled president" He growled, as the other immedietly defended himself.

"No....I just ran out of space" He told the other pony.

"FIX IT!!!!!!" The second pony shouted.

"Hey, I need more nail's here" A third cried from above. Shift had slowly helped Jamie, and told the mare her memories. The two were able to catch up with each other after so much time, and we're now enjoying life.

"Remember to never cross these two wires, you do that, and ka-boom....off go your hand's" He told a crowd of construction workers. Shift soon stood in front of Twilight, and Pixel who were on their thrones after he was done for the day. "And to end my report, all the main waterwork's are fully operational with some minor repair's needed here, and there" Shift told them, as Twilight smiled.

"Our people can have fresh water again, that'll be good to have" Twilight grinned, along with Pixel.

"Excellent work Shift, please keep me updated" Pixel told him, as she turned to Jamie who was now one of their guard's.

"How's security Jamie?" She asked.

"Thank's to Twilight....Entras, and the scientist we're properly exectued after month's of evading us....their disturbing work will never harm us again. Tarsaunus is still in the cell he wanted us to put him in, and tonight is when he'll be free for paying for his crimes, our security has reached maximum output, and are ready if anything goes wrong. We're also still looking to make peace with neighboring communities." Jamie answered.

"Thank you.....both of you, great work, I'll see you both tonight at the peace dedication" Pixel told them, as Shift smiled.

"Looking forward to it Mrs. President" Shift grinned, as Jamie grabbed his arm, and smiled.

"Come on big bro....let's talk about how our day's been" She beamed.

"You got it sis" He chuckled, as they both excitedly left the castle, while Twilight turned to Pixel.

"Have you talked to Styrker about what you, and I discussed?" Twilight asked

"Don't worry I'll speak to him" Pixel assured her, and briefly left her post for just a moment.

*****
"NO,NO,NO...YOU HAVE IT ALL WRONG, YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO BRING THE TEAM TO SECTOR 4......YES I'M HERE BY MYSELF WITH ALL THE SUPPLIES!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted through the radio, as Pixel found him in front of a bunch of construction supplies.

"How's construction going along?" Pixel asked, as Stryker turned to Pixel.

"Oh....call you back, just get your ass over here" Strykr said over the radio...before turning it off, and turning to Pixel. "Construction's harder than I thought, but compared to what we've been through it's a piece of cake" Stryker told her, as Pixel let out a caring laugh, and sat down with a sigh.

"Cake sound's nice" She smiled, as Stryker turned to her with a mischevious smile.

"How 'bout a wedding cake, what do you think Pixel, will you be my wife?" Stryker asked, as Pixel gasped upon the proposal, before turning to him.

"Now that you mention it, mind if it isn't just me your marriying.....but also Twilight?" Pixel asked, as Stryker looked at her suprised.

"P-Pixel, I never pegged you for....." Stryker began before, Pixel raised her hand with a smile.

"Don't worry Stryker, even though with what she's been through, I can trust her with her being a part of our relationship, in more way's than one....how about it, it's not every day that a stallion get's to have two wives" She pointed out, causing Stryker to chuckle.

"Alright then.....It'll be one interesting wedding I'll say that" Stryker told her, as she smiled in response, until Stryker's radio turned on.

"SHERIFF WE GOT A PROBLEM!!!!!!" A pony shouted, as lighting opened in the sky, and evil demonic monster's spawned from it, looking around thirsty for blood.

"OOOOHHHH COOOMMMEEE ONNNNNNN!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, and pulled out his old cannon gun, which he carried for safety reason's. "CAN'T A STALLION GET A FUCKING BREAK!!!!!!!" He shouted, and fired.

Previously on Off The Grid.....

"You can run, but you can't hiiiiiiddeee....AHAHAHAHAHAHA"

".....How do you think Pixel is doing out there?"

"I know she's doing fine....I just hope she destroy's that blasted chalice"

"VAMPRA!?!?!?!?!?!?"

*****
"Why would you destroy the only key to bring Stryker back....don't you want to save him?"

"She must be stopped Pixel"

*****
".....my friend's, and I trust you Pixel, one as gold as Fluttershy, and Rarity when they we're still around....I know that maybe one day. you will be a good leader, or a mare with a good heart. I hope one day, you, and Stryker will be together"

"How do you know his name?"

"I did have a bit of a crush on Stryker, but he only had eyes for you"

"He is quite cute isn't he....not to mention his scarlet colored skin"

"Take care of what's left for me"

*****
"YOUR GONNA PAY FOR THAT YOU........PUNY........LITTLE.......POOOOOONNYYYY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"PIIIIIIIXXXXXEEELLLLLL!!!!!!!!"

"STRRRRYYYKKKKEERRRRR!!!!!!"

*****
"Y-you......n-neeed.....t-to diiiiieeeee"

"YOU CAN'T FIGHT HER.....GET OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

"Killing you, while dying myself.....just the way I wannted to go"

"Scarlett, and Twilight, or, well......I don't know anymore, I'm so sorry for what I did, I did so many horrible thing's, and I did.....you know what to you Stryker......I shouldn't have done any of it, you freed me from her, but I still feel so empty, I don't know how I can....."

"I forgive you....for all of it"

"Really?'"

"We all do, we have all been in darkness for so long, and forced to do horrible thing's, but now we can change it, and save this world, and our people from the darkness that has become this wasteland. Whether your Scarlett, or Twilight....your still you, and we wouldn't have it any other way"

"Oooooohooooohooohooo.....MY KIND OF PARTY!!!!!!!"

And now the conclusion......

Finale (True Ending) [Clop, and Story]

Stryker was ready to raise his gun, but Scarlett Twinkle stopped the stallion, putting her claw's in front of him. "No, I want to face him by myself Stryker" Scarlett told him, as Stryker stammered.

S-Scarlett....I can't let you do that, Raptus could kill you with this form, or maybe there is a way to save him....I CAN'T LET YOU FACE HIM ALONE!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, as Scarlett Twinkle turned to him with a smile.

"Stryker, I can sense from here that your friend is gone, when I was in the Nightmare Realm, I was cursed....I was never deceased, nor was I alive....but a hollow shell outside of my existence. You freed me from that shell, you made me remember who I was....thank's to you, and Pixel. You even forgave me....after the horrible thing's I did to you, as my past self in that twisted nightmare. Raptus is deceased....my memories were blocked....his are destroyed. I was a mare trapped in a cursed shell.....he is a walking corpse among the living. I was able to be brought back he.....doesn't want to be saved. If he lives....I cannot forget what I did to you, and your forgiveness will be meaningless" She told him, as Scarlett walked closer to him, before turning to Pixel.

"Pixel.....do you mind if I......" Scarlett Twinkle began, as Pixel gave her a heartwarming, and mischevious smile.

"You've earned it, just don't hog my Stryker too much, plus I get to have one after we're done" She answered, as Scarlett chuckled.

"Agreed" Scarlett told her, before she locked lip's with Stryker, the two kissing passionetly before sepearting, as Scarlett Twinkle turned to face Raptus, while Stryker blinked.

"Be careful Scarlett" He smiled, as she turned to him, and stuck out her tongue out at him, while also giving him a sly wink, before facing Raptus, and spreading her claw's.

"Nightmares....I was born, and Nightmares I was rasied....let's end this Raptus" She growled getting in a battle stance, looking like a big spider that wasn't afraid to fight. Scarlett charged, as she tornado slashed his arm, but Raptus blocked her attack. He pushed Scarlett back, and snarled before grabbing a piece of a building, and throwing it at her. Scarlett used her claw's to slice it in two, and charged again. She slashed at his chest, blood spraying from the wound, as Raptus growled.

"GAAAHHH....THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG......WHERE ARE THOSE BLASTED MERCENARIES!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?" Regalias shouted, as he opened a channel to them, while the female masked mercenary.....who had finally attached Papyrus's head back to his body, heard the radio go off, as Deathstroke tossed it to her. "What are you doing, I'm not paying you to sit around" Regalias told her, as the female mercenary smiled.

"Speaking of payment.......Where's.....My.......Money!?" She snarled, causing Regalias to stutter.

"Your money, ah yes your money.....I have it" Regalias told her, as she scoffed.

"No you don't" She growled, while Regalias tried to explain himself.

"W-Well you see with all the expendatures of updated equipment, and......" He started, but was interrupted by her.

"Aaaaahhh I see, so paying us was not your top ptriority" She told him, turning to Deathstroke who clutcched his fist.

"No, no....that's not what I meant....." Regalias began again, until she cut him off once more.

"I see how it is, we'll be collecting that payment one way, or another.....bye" She cooed, hanging up the radio, as she, and her crew were now on the hunt for Regalias.

"Oh.......Ooooohhhhh" Regalias realized, as it was very clear thing's weren't going well, and if Raptus lost.....he was done. Scarlett slashed Raptus three times, as he growled....punching her back, but she stayed on her feet, until he picked up another piece of a building, and threw it at her. Scarlett was knocked back, while Raptus rushed toward's her, grabbing her, and slamming her into two building's before finally throwing her to the ground. Scarlett Twinkle was a bit wounded, but not done, as she wiped the blood out of her mouth.

Scarlett charged with tremendous speed, as she tornado slashed Raptus into the rubble. Scarlett Twinkle charged again, but Raptus got up, his fist meeting her claw's. She managed to knock Raptus back, and slashed him again. Raptus cried out in pain....hitting the ground, as Scarlett Twinkle was on him in a minute. "AHAHAHAHAHA.....It's ooooovveeeerrrr.....Goodbye" She smiled, as Raptus's face was reduced to a bloody, gory mess, as his body shut down for good, ending his life. Scarlett looked up to see Shift, and Jamie appearing with the re-programmed Hulkbuster under their control, waving to Scarlett, and Stryker who had both ended their fight's.

They all turned to Regalias...who now realized that his entire empire had crumbled. With the mercenaries after him, his troop's dead, and gone....this time...Regalias was alone. "No.....No....I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.....General....call in the garrison" Regalias told Tarsaunus who looked at Regalias, and the other's, and reflected back on the horrible decision's he had made, and realized how wrong they were.

"TRAITOR'S......ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!" Regalias shouted, as Stryker pointed to Regalias.

"Your the only traitor here Regalias" Stryker snarled. Regalias stood there silently, until he fled for his life. Scarlett Twinkle charged after him, tackling him to the ground, giving him a wicked smile.

"W-Who are you?" Regalias asked, as Scarlett grinned.

"Poor Regalias, I always did question your loyalties since day one, and I was hoping that one day that you woud trip up, and show your true nature. I can't believe that I have waited for almost centuries when I quote on quote "sacrificed" myself to defeat Nightmare Moon, at least I lived to finally end you myself" Scarlett explained, as a look of horror was plastered on Regalias's face.

"That's riiiiiggghhttt, I am the long lost Princess of Equestria, Twilight Sparkle....and I am here to take back what you have stolen from me" She told him, raising her claw's, ready to kill him, until Stryker rasied his hand's.

"Scareltt let him go....he's not worth it" He told her, as Scarlett stopped, looking at Stryker for a few minutes before getting off Regalias who fled for his life.

"He has no idea where he's going" She smiled, as Stryker couldn't help, but share said smile with her.

One Year Later
It had only been a year since everything was all said, and done. Twilight, and Pixel both shared being the rulers of New Equestria, which was slowly being rebuilt, and going back to it's original root's. They also worked on bringing the few dump's of the wasteland's to life, as it was filled with such beautiful luster. These were step's to a brighter future, as construction vehicles drove from one place to the next, to rebuild the city. Two ponies that looked at the sign's for President Pixel, and Princess Twilight, as one pony turned to the other. "Ya mis-spelled President" He growled, as the other immedietly defended himself.

"And to end my report, all the main waterwork's are fully operational with some minor repair's needed here, and there" Shift told her.

"Excellent work Shift, please keep me updated" Pixel told him, as she turned to Jamie who was now one of the royal guard's. "How's security Jamie?" Pixel asked.

"Thank's to Twilight.....Entras, and that scientist we're properly executed after month's of evading us....their disturbing work will never harm anypony ever again. Tarsaunus is still in the cell he wanted us to put him in, and tonight is when he'll be free for paying his crime's, our security has reached maximum output, and ready if anything goes wrong. We're also looking to make peace with other neighboring communities" Jamie answered with a smile.

"Thank you....both of you, great work" Pixel told them.

"You coming to the peace dedication Mrs. President?" Shift asked, as Pixel turned to look at the royal quarter's where Twilight was in, and let out a sad sigh.

"Not tonight.....I have.....something else planned" She told them, as the two nodded before leaving to talk about their day. Twilight Sparkle was in her Scarlett Twinkle form which she still had, and never used for killing recently, as Pixel sat down on her bed next to her, and spoke. "Are you ok, Twilight?" Pixel asked, as Scarlett shook her head.

"No Pixel.....it's just, after everything was over, and even when I killed Raptus....I still feel like, I can never redeem myself for what I did to Stryker....I....did have feeling's for Stryker even now, and when I was my past self they were locked away....there, but used in a way that I didn't want, and because of that....I....YOU KNOW WHAT I DID TO STRYKER, I shouldn't have violated him like that, and I just feel so awful about it." Twilight told her, as she burst into tear's, while Pixel hugged her.

"Hey.....it's not your fault, what Nightmare Moon did to you was horrible, she manipulated your feeling's, and your body to hurt Stryker. We've been friend's for so long Twilight.....you, and I know you wouldn't do that to Stryker....plus you don't have to worry" She told her, as Twilight stopped crying, and sniffled.

"W-Why's that?" Twilight asked, as Pixel looked at her wiping away her tear's.

"Youve been suffering for too long, Twiight.....Stryker need's you, as much as he need's me.....which is why I am asking if your okay with me sharing Stryker as my coltfriend" Pixel told her, as Twilight hugged her again with a smile on her face

"Thank you" Twilight sighed, as the two seperated fron their hug, and Pixel gave Twilight a mischevious grin.

"Ya' know.....we could have Stryker be more than just a coltfriend" Pixel cooed, as Twilight looked at her with a bit of concern.

"W-What do you mean by that?" She asked, as Pixel's cheek's flushed before she whispered something in Twilight's ear. The mare's cheek's also flushed before staring at Pixel in disbelief.

"B-BUT PIXEL.....T-THAT'S.....LEWD, I NEVER THOUGHT YOU WERE CAPABLE OF AN IDEA!!!!!!!" Twilight shouted, as Pixel mischevious grin grew wider.

"Like yooouuu haven't thought of that idea before?" Pixel cooed, as Twiight blushed.

"Well.....I....uh.....well....." She began, as Pixel smiled.

"Come on, how about we give his Stryker reward" She winked. Twilight couldn't help, but nod slightly, as they got everything ready.

*****
"NO, NO, NO......YOU HAVE IT ALL WRONG, YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO BRING THE TEAM TO SECTOR 4......YES I'M HERE BY MYSELF WITH ALL THE SUPPLIES!!!!!!!!" Stryker shouted, as Shift found Stryker in front of a bunch of construction supplies.

"How's it going Sheriff?" Shift asked, as he noticed Shift.

"Oh....call you back, just get your ass over here" Stryker ordered, over the radio before turning to Shift. "What are you doing here Shift, aren't you suppose to be with Jamie on break?" Stryker asked.

"Yeeeaahhh, i came over to tell you that Pixel, and Scarlett wanted you at the castle, they said to meet both of them in Twilight's quarter's for something important. I'll finish the last of the supplies before ending my shift with Jamie, while also relieving you of your's" Shift explained, as Stryker sighed.

"Alright, I'll go see what this is all about" Stryker told him, and went off toward's the New Equestrian castle.

*****
Styker soon found Twilight's quarter's after searching around the castle for it, as he stood in front of the room. He quickly stepped inside, and spoke. "Alright I'm here what was it you two wanted to discu......." Stryker never finished his sentence, as he spotted Twilight Sparkle/Scarlett Twinkle, and Pixel on the bed, both of them being completely naked. It was something he'd never thought he'd see. He saw that Twilight was in her Scarlett Twinkle form, and unlike that one time in the Nightmare Realm, where she was wearing too revealing clothing, this time she was wearing none. The two mare's were gorgeous as he gazed at their busty chest's which weren't the biggest, but still had a lot of bounce to them.

The two mares were sitting with their leg's spread their shaved pussies on complete display to Stryker "There's our sexy Stryker....like what you see?" Pixel cooed softly.

"Uh....uh....uh...." Stryker stumbled, as Scarlett giggled along with Pixel.

"Close the door Stryker, make sure know one here's us" Scarlett winked, as Stryker did so, and locked it...before walking toward's the bed, until he finally managed to get a few word's out.

"G-Girl's.....w-what are you......" He began, until Pixel interrupted him.

"Ah, ah, ah Stryker.....first you need to lose those bothersome clothes" She winked, as Stryker took off the chainmail like suit, and some of the armor pad's with him. Stryker stood in front of the mare's, his shaft being very erect, as they gasped.

"Oh my.....it's so much bigger than I remember" Scarlett cooed, giving Stryker a lustful gaze, before he joined them on the bed.

"G-Girl's before I go a bit too far, maybe you can tell me what....." He began, as Pixel stopped him.

"Stryker, Twilight, and I reazlied we both love you, and she still feel's bad about what she did to you in the Nightmare Realm, and still doesn't feel like she can be redeemed. She, and I talked.....we both agreed to share you as a couple, but we want to be a bit more, more than that.....so what do you say about making us your mates?' Pixel asked, as she spanked her rear, and let out a small moan, while Stryker gave them each a mischievous grin.

"Who get's to go first?" Stryker asked, as Scarlett giggled before bending over, and moving her tail aside, showing him her nether's.

"I was the dominate one in the Nightmare Realm.....how about you punish me this time Stryker" Scarlett winked, as he reached over, and groped her breast's enlicting a hot moan from her, and gave her ass a spank. "Ooooooohhhh Stryker.....your making me really horny, please do more" Scarlett shuddered, as he pinched her nipples before rubbing his cock against her pussy. "Aaaaahhhnnn, Oh Stryker please....please do it" She whined, while Stryker smiled.

"Do what?" He whispered, making Scarlett cry louder.

"Please fuck me, fuck me with that big...fat...cock of your's" She cried, as Stryker grinned.

"Good girl" He told her, as his cock penetrated her pussy, her claw's digging into the bed, while he groped her breast's.

"Aaaaaaahhhh, this is so much better than the Nightmare Realm" She moaned out, as Stryker began sliding in, and out of her pussy, his ball's slapping against her cunt, the mare moaning loudly. "Aaaaahhh, ah, ah, ah, ah, Yeeeeesss.....fuuuuccckkk, fuck me. fuck me. fuck me. fuck me.....OOOOOHHHH FUUUCCCKK, aaahh, haaaa....haaaaaa.....that's it Stryker, fuck this naughty mare........oh fuck.....I'm gonna cum......"I'M CUMMMMMIIINNNGGGG!!!!!" She cried, as Stryker shot rope after rope of his cum deep inside her, and two came down after their high. Stryker exited out of her, while she collapsed on the bed, her tongue lolling out in ecstasy, while having heart's in her eyes.

Pixel gave Scarlett a lewd look, and smiled. "Mmmmm.....my Stryker now's how to breed his mare's" Pixel cooed, as she cleaned Strykers cock of Scarlett's juices before bringing him over to her. "Now.....breed me.....Stryker" She snarled, as Stryker leaned down, and groped her breast's before inserting his cock deep into her pussy. "Ooooooohhhh yeeeeessss.....this feel's so goood....mmmmfff" She moaned, while Stryker chose to give her a few minutes for the mare to recover due to her losing her virginity, and to his suprise, she recovered rather quickly. "O-Ok Stryker, you can start moving" She whimpered, as he slowly began thrusting in, and out of her.

"Aaaahh....haaaaa....haaaa....yeessss....mmmffff....so goood.....Stryker....harder" She whimpered, as Stryker gave it his all, as she clutched the bed sheet's, her mind going blank, "Oooooohhhh fuuuuuccckkk, yes, yes, yes, yes, YEEEESSSSS.....Aaaaahhh, that's it right there.....don't stop Stryker....pleeeeaasseee....Aaaahhhnnn, haaahh, haaaahh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, aaaahhhhnnn....mmmffff.....yes, yes, yes, yes, yeeeesss.....S-Stryker i'm gonna cum....please....KNOCK ME UUUUUUPPPP AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Pixel cried, as Stryker let out a loud grunt, his warm seed flooded her depth's, the two coming down from their orgasmic high. Stryker collapsed on the bed, while Scarlett turned to him, as she dove for his cock.

"Such a stud" She cooed, her claw's lightly touching Stryker's shaft, while she licked him clean of Pixel's cum, before lifting her head of it with an audible pop.

"You got more for another round with both of us big boy?" Pixel cooed, as Stryker nodded, his shaft becoming hard again, as the mares smiled.

"This is gonna be fun" Scarett grinned, thirsty for more.

*****
After another round with both mares, Stryker layed on the bed, looking up at the ceiling with both mare's cuddling his naked body. He looked at the two naked mares, and then back to the ceiling, and reflected back on his life. Even though his life was different, he had lived it all. The Great Nightmare War, Finding Pixel, defeating Vampra, scouring the Wasteland's, surviving the Nightmare Realm, and defeating Regalias, and Megatron. He had done it all, he had lived it all, and fought it all. He even gained himself a second marefriend after saving her from unspeakable, horrific corruption....true it was painful going through that, but he was still glad to have her.

He turned to look at Scarlett Twinkle again who was fast asleep with her arm draped over his chest lovingly, her claw's giving him light, and harmless love scratches. It had only been a year, but it felt longer for Stryker, but right now.....life was good, and he wouldn't ever want to change it with him getting both hot, ruler mares in the end.
