I got up, my nose definitely bleeding. I had knocked on Derpy's door for a good ten minutes before she answers and then attacks me.

"Hi." I said. Holding my noise with a hoof. I am so tired, the flight wore me out and the pain in wounds was overpowering. But I didn't care, whatever the Changeling had done, wherever my friends were. I would find them. Equestria was my home now, the mane six my friends, Derpy, my love.

"You. What is it? You bastard!" Derpy screamed, using a swear I normally said when I had explained Earth to everypony that one time.

"D. That wasn't me. Whatever I did. It wasn't me. It was a fake." I explained, she screamed.

"What does that mean?" She shouted.

"I have been dead, I only woke up ten minutes ago. Something brought me back. Im here D. For you." I said.

"You still love me?" She asked, more quiet.

"Yes. I will forever love you. Your my Derpy." I said. Derpy smiled then punched me again. I fell down this time. Onto my wing which I crushed onto and roared in pain.

"Why should I believe you? If you were saying that you said you hated me then say it wasn't actually you, then tell me, who was it? Because it sure as buck sounded and looked like you." Derpy screamed again.

"Because Derpy. He is telling the truth. The human who denied you is a Changeling. This is the real human." A familiar voice sounded. Rainbow Dash.

I stood up again, Derpy running in for a hug. She apparently knew what the Changelings were and had understood straight away, she ran in and hugged me. If her punched didn't kill me, the strength in the hug would.

"I am so sorry." She cried into me. My nose was still bleeding, but I didn't care, I had my D back.

"Its okay." I said, then looked to Dash. "Where are the others?" I asked her.

"Marching to Canterlot. The Changelings have attacked the city and Celestia asked us for aid. We need to go." Rainbow Dash replied, I nodded and Derpy looked to me.

"I-" I started, she kissed me. Long and hard, when she broke off she had more tears in her eyes.

"Just fucking come back this time." She said, more of an order. I nodded and Rainbow Dash and myself flow.

"So, welcome back to the living. What brings you here?" Rainbow Dash asked whilst we were in flight. My wings ached and my body hurt, but I had to help me friends.

"I really don't know. I just, woke up." I admitted.

"Like in the old castle?" She asked.

"No. I was being healed then. This time. I don't know. I just woke up. I hurt all over though." I replied, shaking my head. My wings vibrated with pain as we flow and I felt myself getting weaker.

"How bad is it?" She asked.

"Not too bad. I can still fight." I lied. We continued to fly toward Canterlot and on the rail track I spotted the back of the small army my friends had gathered.

"There they are!" Rainbow cried pointed. I looked to see a serpent and seven other ponies. Five I knew, the dark one and the Alicorn I didn't. We flow down toward the group. I wasn't sure weather to be grateful for stopping flying and rest my bad wings, or sorrowful because now I had to limp around on bad legs. I wanted, no, I had to fight. To save my friends and the world I live on. We could find out why in deed I am back later, but for now. I had to survive. Equestria had to survive.

We landed and Twilight ran to me. Horn glowing.

"Whoo pony. It's real me!" I cried. She did some detection spell and nodded. Tears were welling up on her face.

"Your back." She muttered and hugged me. Each of the mane six greeted me and I replied in turn. Finally the alicorn, the dark Pegasus and a strange looking grey pony came to me.

"My name is Heart Breaker sir. Here to fight for my home. And my princess." The alicorn said. I looked to his flank and nodded.

"Nice to meet you too." I said. Nodding, next up was the dark Pegasus.

"Dari. Last of the Siren's." She said quietly.

"Only human on Equestria. I guess we're even." I replied and the Siren gave a sarcastic laugh.

"Names Lex Dresdal. Leader of the band called Bloody Skulls. At your service." The pony said giving a bow.

"The only need I have for you is to take out as many Changelings as possible." I said. Lex nodded. We we're nearly there.

Finally, Canterlot, just down the slope was the vast outstretch of land toward the gate of the city. Green smoke rose from inside the city as well as the occasional explosion. I looked over the hill to look onto the Changeling army. There were barely any. I presumed they were already inside, which wasn't good.

"What's the plan?" Applejack asked. I looked, none of us were really ready for any battle, let alone a siege, which is probably what this is going to end up as.

"We prepare. Armour up, arm up." I said, and we did.

Some ponies brought were good smiths and had brought some battle saddles and armour for us all. Convenient. I put the gold and steel armour on myself, looking into a mirror the smith had placed down. The helmet was a bit tight, so the pony hammered into the metal, widening it. I looked like a war horse from some fantasy or lord of the rings film. I was completely covered in the strong metal and despite it being heavy, would probably save my life. I had a spear saddle as well, ready to be placed onto my back, which I got help to do. Very soon I looked fully prepared and ready for battle, and when we regrouped, everypony else did too.

"So. What's the plan?" Twilight asked in thin armour so she could move around easier and cast spells, a real mage outfit. I paused, looked around, no pony else had any idea so I took the leadership role.

"We charge at the back and fight our way in. We can't do stealth, it just wouldn't work and there is no way to bypass the enemy. We have to go straight in. Maybe find a central location in the city to fight from." I said. Each pony thought about it and agreed. We would attack a the next hour. I decided for some food quickly and dismissed myself to eat.

"This will be a long day." I said to myself. It would be very long.
