“I don’t blame, trying to fly through that airspace that airspace tonight be suicide. And make sure the bloke in charge knows the score, will you? How’s the rest of it coming? Fuck, I didn’t know they had that many. magic,” Butcher said to Rayner on the phone.
Butcher is flying on a private jet heading to Washington with Hughie who is using a lab top. Hughie is still shaken from what he did to A-Train who didn’t even know the name of the woman he killed. Hughie kicked his head off.
“Yeah, all right then. See you,” Butcher said hanging up.
“I didn’t even know we had half of this,” Hughie said staring at the screen of his laptop of a group of superheroes wearing klan hoods.
“Yeah, some of its a bit of a giggle innit? Just talking to Rayner, there. All sorted. Meaning we’re walking into fuck knows what, and she’s nice and safe in her bunker,” Butcher said.
“Aye, from what I’ve been seeing on the news, Washington’s fucking crawling with supes,” Hughie said.
“Counting on getting a bit of a hand with them. It’s the seven in particular we’ve gotta worry about, which is why I’ve got M.M. Following this big hunch of his,” Butcher said.
“There is still Alicorn showing up, she does have Discord who can just snap his fingers and he change reality around him,” Hughie said remembering how Discord showed off his power while he was in the human world.
Discord would show up at theme parks and other events and make a mess of things. Which many enjoy as unlike back in Equestria, humans on the most part like his brand of chaos. He does have to turn everything back to normal afterwards, thanks to Alicorn keeping a tight lease on him. (1)
“If she doesn’t there’s the other plan,” Butcher said.
“The recordings of her single handedly taking on the G-Men, and winning before letting the Red River private security attack helicopters finish them off. The files of what Godolkin really is and what he turn the G-Men into is really shaken things up,” Hughie said.
“She does have skills and trained unlike the supes,” Butcher said.

Vought HQ -
Stillwell sat at his desk where his computer is playing the news showing all the files that the boys had on the supes being shown. All the money and resources spent on keeping the coverups from appearing on the news have all been for nothing. The only ones not going to be affected by this are the music department which
“Security stand down. I won’t be needing you,” Stillwell said as he turns to Homelander who has a cut on his forehead where Queen Maeve had strike him with her sword, which he is holding now.
“There’s nothing they could do to help you, anyway. I see Butcher has let out the cat out of the bag,” Homelander said.
“Only because of this nonsense of yours in Washington. I’d tell you how many years of work you’ve ruined, but I can’t imagine you care in the slightest,” Stillwell said.
“Oh, let’s not pretend I was going to get an invitation to that particular party, once you had Vic in place and the defense contracts were coming in, we were all going to be replaced. You’re growing the new me right now. Some camo-clothed tactical genius version that does exactly what it’s told. Hmh…,” Homelander said looking at the still calm Stillwell. “Still eighty over sixty. You’re about to be torn limb from limb and you’re completely calm. I think I finally met a superhuman.”
“Why, because you never managed to impress me?” Stillwell asked. “Think about it, this is par for the course with you. When have you ever done anything remotely interesting or original? What have you thought of to do that the lowest speck of this pointless species couldn’t were they be granted your level of power? And what next, destroy another airliner? Dismember more families, that kind of thing? A spoiled child’s personal Auschwitz. It’s so petty it’s actually quite embarrassing. I’m just glad I won’t be alive to see it.”
“What?” Homelander asked.
“You know I think I’ll save you the trouble. I’ll jump,” Stillwell said walking to the smash window that Homelander made to come inside.
“Stop fucking around. You think I need to impress you?” Homelander asked.
“You’re no Alicorn,” Stillwell said being completely honest. “She played everyone as a fool, by being completely honest about herself, knowing that we would never believe her. She actually knows how to use her powers and has mastered them. You are just an adult on a playground full of children. It’s the reason why you destroyed the portal. So you wouldn’t have to face someone on your level. Who can actually fight.”
“You think, I’m here to impress you,” Homelander shouted in his face.
“Just get it over with, I have the worst headache. Alicorn would have already killed me,” Stillwell said calmly to Homelander.
“Shut up! Just you watch!” Homelander shouted as he flew out of the window heading for Washington.
“There’s nothing to watch,” Stillwell said.

Washington DC -
In front of the White House, US marines have set themselves up in front of the building, all equipped with the heaviest weapons they had available, with depleted-uranium ammo. Around the White House in the air are the flying supes, doing nothing but watching. Both sides are just waiting for orders or for the other side to make a move. At the pentagon are the supes who couldn’t fly still fighting to take the building.
Both Butcher and Hughie are there with the marines waiting for the counterattack to begin. The F-16s are armed with missiles with small targeting boxes designed specifically to target supes using the compound V in them to track them, whilst A-10s are being sent against the ground-based heroes do what they do best. Which will happen at dawn so that the planes can use the sun as cover.
As the sun was rising from the horizon, a rainbow appeared with Alicorn and Discord flying down from it. Many people recognized the rainbow bridge that the heroine Megan Willaims and the ponies of Dream Valley used to travel from Equestria and Earth. It took awhile for the rainbow bridge to reconnect to Earth thanks to so many years of disuse. Alicorn landed and look around before setting her sights on Butcher and walk over to him.
Discord disappeared in a puff of smoke.
“Becky has been keeping me up to date. Where is Homelander?” Alicorn asks.
“He’s inside,” Butcher said holding the crowbar he’s planning on using on Homelander.
“I’ll handle him,” Alicorn said.
“I’m getting on that action,” Butcher said showing Alicorn the bottle he has been saving that has the works in it.
“Potion?” Alicorn asked.
“Yup,” Butcher said drinking the whole thing down.
“I’m surprise that the army haven’t used it to fight back,” Alicorn said.
“Oh they are, it’s the reason why the Pentagon is still a war zone. Trained soldiers with guns and potions that make them as strong as the supes, are keeping them at bay,” Butcher said. (2)
“Good thing I gave your team those potions and the equipment,” Alicorn said.
“Yup,” Butcher said showing he’s wearing the magic gear she gave his team and carrying the flare gun with magic rounds in them. A belt of strength that increase the strength of the user by 5 times the strength of the wearer. A ring that creates a magic shield around the wearer. A amulet that makes the wearer immune to all heat. And bracelets that increase endurance and stamina.
“Good,” Alicorn said as she and Butcher walks towards the White House.
“Where did Discord go?” Butcher asked.
“Told him to handle the other supes. Many of them are only here because of Homelander lying to them. They learn the truth and the fight will leave most of them,” Alicorn said.
“Killing Homelander will do that,” Butcher said seeing the confused looks on the supes faces, they were told that Alicorn is on their side and would bringing her army with her.

Inside the White House -
The Oval Office is a slaughter house, the bodies of the Vic and the aids the company sent over are all over the room. Sitting behind the desk is Homelander, holding the sword of Queen Maeve and the head of the Vic. Both Butcher and Alicorn stood in front of him.
“I’m surprised that you got here so fast,” Homelander said to Alicorn.
“I always have a backup plan. But really this old plot of taking over? And yes my entire thing was me taking the throne from Celestia, but at least I had a reason for it. While you on the other hand just doing this for no good reason,” Alicorn said.
“I have nothing to prove to anyone,” Homelander said toss the Vic’s head at the two which is caught by Alicorn’s telekinesis before being toss aside. “I don’t see why you care.”
“Destroying the Earth side hub not only killed humans but many Equestrian races as well,” Alicorn answers.
“I couldn’t cut you off any other way,” Homelander said and turns to Butcher. “As for you, that wife of yours. I have no memory at all of what I did to her. I’m guessing rape and murder.”
“Trying to wind me up?” Butcher asked.
“No I’m being honest. I remember the airliner, the family after Believe, but nothing of your wife. Or those pictures you posted on YouTube. Thanks by the way, there’s no going back for me now,” Homelander said.
“Don’t be a cunt,” Butcher said.
“I’m not denying it. I don’t remember it. I can cut you in half right now by just looking at you. Why would I bother lying to you right now?” Homelander asked.
“He’s telling the truth,” Alicorn said.
“Keeping clam and your heart not even beating fast,” Homelander said.
“Compare to what I had to deal with before of past villains. You aren’t that impressive,” Alicorn said gripping her lance and Homelander tighten his grip on the sword.
“Hhehehehehe,” soft giggling broke the tension as Black Noir stood in the doorway.
“What are you doing here?” Homelander asked.
Black Noir just giggles as he removes his mask. The mask that he is never seen not wearing, that has no eyeholes, mouth holes, or nose holes, nothing. Never allowing anyone to see his face, that no one has ever seen. The face behind the mask is a prefect copy of Homelander staring right at the 3.
“Heheheheh, I did things,” Black Noir said in a wide smile showing his teeth.
“Evil twin plot. Framing the other twin for crimes that they did,” Alicorn said putting it all together causing Butcher and Homelander to look at her before turning back to Black Noir.
“I put on your silly suit and did things,” Black Noir said.
“He put on your suit and took the pictures of what we thought was you,” Alicorn said.
“Why for fuck sakes?” Homelander asked shocked.
“Told me. To kill you. But they wouldn’t let me do it. Wouldn’t say do it. Wouldn’t say. So lonely. So scared. So excited. For so long. Got the little people. Got your silly suit. Got my camera. Then I got my pictures. But its scary. So big. So scary. Keep my pictures keep them. Then we heard about him,” Black Noir said pointing to Butcher. “Send him my pictures. He knows what to do.”
“I was always terrified… because… I wasn’t… I would have never done any of this if I didn’t think…,” Homelander gasped as he felt his world falling apart.
“You became a psychopath by mistake. All caused by Black Noir, just so he could finally be allowed to kill you. A backup plan by Vought to take you down if you ever went off the deep end like this,” Alicorn said.
“Fucking fucking fuck! You ruined my life!” Homelander screamed as he flys at Black Noir blasting him with his heat vision and thrusting the sword into his right eye.
Black Noir took the blast annd stab in his eye and punch Homelander’s face break his skull and sending the eye beams flying towards Butcher who was grabbed by Alicorns flew both of them out of a window and back to the army line. She set Butcher down and flew back into the building that is shaking as the two supes are battling inside and heat beams cut up the building. Flying into the building the sounds of battle grew as parts of the building is destroyed from the clash of the 3 superpowers.
Butcher look around and everyone staring into the sky. Looking up Butcher saw that Alicorn had casted a spell showing what’s happening around her, revealing the truth of why Homelander had done everything and that Black Noir had gaslighted him into doing it. The supes seeing this and knowing that they’re ruined have drop down and are giving up, the fight is out of them. The spell faded as Alicorn is no longer powering it, leaving everyone to wait as the 3 strongest supes battle it out inside the White House.
Black Noir came flying out of the building missing half of his head but somehow still alive, his guts are spilled out from the wound Homelander gave him. In his mangled hands he clutch the part of Homelander’s torso that still has an arm attached to it, along with his head, who is still alive. Behind them, came Alicorn bloody and her armor damaged but came out better than the other two who tore away at each other even as she tried to pull them apart. She held both of them in her telekinesis hold that they couldn’t free themselves from. She walked over to the army line where Butcher and Hughie waited for her with the soldiers aiming their weapons at Black Noir and Homelander.
“Time to clean up,” Discord said reappearing and using Grogar‘s Bewitching Bell to depowered all the supes at once. Alicorn seeing the energy field created an energy field around her to block it. That also shielded Hughie, Butcher, Homelander, and Black Noir from the energy draining spell.
“Discord, I told you not to bring Grogar’s bell!” Alicorn shouted.
“Don’t worry, while I was gone. I went to space and found Grogar floating around and I toss him into the nearest Star I could find. Even if he does have a backup plan he’s too far away for any spell to work, as magic no matter what does have a range limit. And even if it does somehow bring him back to life. He’s in a star and believe me, the sheer gravity and pressure from a star will keep him trap and it be billions of years before he could ever be freed from it,” Discord said holding the bell.
The bell began shaking on its own and all the power it had collected burst out and flew into Black Noir. He began to transform, the wounds disappearing as his body healed and his body took on goat features. Alicorn tried blasting him with a magic spell with the soldiers opening fire on him but an energy field protected him from the attack.
A man appeared dress in yellow with a featureless face. It has all the parts of a human face, but it’s just blank. Alicorn’s eyes narrowed as she recognized him, all too well.
“N,” Alicorn said seeing the Discord of Earth once again making a mess of things.

Author's Note
1 - With how Discord does things in cannon of the show, it wouldn’t be that scary for humans to deal with.
2 - Magic potions are still a new item and are still being tested by food and drugs, so they’re still rare on Earth.
