"Stay behind me!"

Having exclaimed this, Optimus immediately took out his sword, ready to engage in battle at any moment. Behind him were frightened ponies, and in front stood two winged dragons more than ten meters high (32 feet).

There was destruction all around. The buildings of the city he found himself in could not boast of good condition. The once great skyscrapers now lay on the ground in the form of rubble. The roads were cracked and there was ash everywhere, mixed with broken glass and other debris. Such a sight made the last Prime return to the time of the first battle with the Decepticons on earth. But this time, the smell of despair in the air was much stronger.

"Don't make us laugh, ponies! Do you really think you have a chance to win?"

The one who spoke to him was one of the two dragons. The reptile had a yellow belly, red scales all over its body, two orange fins instead of ears, and a crest of the same color on its head. The muzzle was elongated, and yellowed fangs were visible from the mouth. The eyes had an elongated black pupil like a cat’s and a green iris. There was obvious pride in his gaze; it was clear that the dragon was not going to take the Autobot leader seriously.

"We're in a good mood today, so we'll give you a chance to escape."

The second dragon that spoke was almost identical to the first, with the exception of green scales and horns on its head.

Optimus was silent. The two giant reptiles were nothing but disgusting. He arrived in this world less than an hour ago, but already knew who needed to be protected. The frightened ponies behind him closed their eyes and hugged each other, as if coming to terms with the end. Their sight awakened long-forgotten memories of the war on Cybertron. Fear, despair and lack of faith in the future. He spent a couple more seconds in similar thoughts and memories before looking at the dragons again with rage in his eyes.

"I kill you..."

The three royal mares froze, looking at the stranger in front of them. The stallion had a long thick black mane and tail of the same color, gray fur all over his body and red irises. The only clothing he had on was a red loincloth. To their surprise, he turned out to be much taller than they initially thought. His height easily allowed him to tower over Celestia herself by about a head. Despite this, the unicorn did not look lanky or thin. And even vice versa. And in the almost complete absence of clothing, the princesses could see every relief and muscle on an incredibly built body. In truth, if not for their predicament, all three of them might even have noticed the stallion's attractiveness.

"Um..."

This was the first time in the last thousand years that the solar princess could not find words. The stranger's stern gaze was fixed directly on her. Causing Celestia to become nervous and confused in her train of thought.

Seeing the situation her sister was in, Luna decided to make contact with the stallion herself.

"Bow down ponies, you are in the presence of your princesses! Tell us who sent you here and free us from our cages!"

Although she could not use the "royal voice" and due to the lack of magic, her real voice was loud enough to echo throughout the cave.

A deathly mess ensued. Cadance and Celestia stared at the moon princess in shock. Wasn't that the pony who was worried about their safety a moment ago?

"What did you just say?..."

All three shuddered when they heard the stallion's deep and rough voice for the first time. With a jerk he found himself in front of the cage with the Moon, he put his hand through the bars and grabbed the princess by the throat.

"I will never obey the orders of a stupid horse..."

Celestia and Cadence watched in horror as Luna tried to escape the stallion's grip.

"Please stop! My sister didn't mean to offend you!"

The princess of the sun exclaimed in despair. However, the plea was ignored.

Megatronus smiled sadistically as he watched the mare suffer in front of him. Tears flowed from her reddened eyes and her body was beating in agony. This is what will happen to those who push them around! But the pleasure did not last long.

The fallen Prime's head began to throb with sharp pain, causing him to involuntarily unclench his palm and release Luna's throat. Grabbing his head, Megatronus groaned in pain. His vision slowly began to darken, and his consciousness began to fade.

"I'm disappointed with you son..."

This was the last thing Megatronus managed to hear before completely losing consciousness.

Ponyville, a city that was once inhabited by all three types of ponies, has now become home to Tirek's dragon army. Most of the houses were destroyed and burned. And those that remained were turned into "nests" where the dragons spent most of their time, devouring precious stones or starting "friendly" fights. But, as you might guess, the main entertainment for dragons was bullying ponies.

"Hey! I'm out of cider! Bring me some more!"

The dragon threw a wooden mug at the head of the waiter's pony. Who, bending down, immediately ran behind the bar counter. The pony was a unicorn stallion with white fur all over his body and a dark blue mane and tail. He was wearing a standard waiter's uniform with a white apron. A distinctive feature was his fit body and clearly military style, which greatly distinguished him from the rest of the workers. The stallion's name was Shining Armor, the former prince of the crystal empire.

Standing at the desired barrel with a tap, the stallion began to fill the wooden container. As soon as the liquid filled the edges, Shining looked around, filled with saliva, and spat into the contents. Thus, showing his hostility towards the fire-breathing reptile. Straightening up to his full height, the unicorn headed back to the dragon. Setting his mug down, Shining prepared to leave before being called out by another voice.

"Hey! I know him! He's the husband of one of the princesses!"

Hearing this, Shining tensed, trying to suppress his growing anger.

"Exactly! I heard that his wife became Tirek's concubine!"

The dragons burst into laughter as they watched the unicorn's reaction.

“And I heard her jerking off Cerberus in Tartarus along with the other princesses!”

The laughter got louder. Shining Armor felt angry and resentful for allowing his wife to be spoken about in such a way. However, this was not the end of the abuse. One of the dragons picked up a gem from his plate and addressed the unicorn directly.

"Do you think she'll blow me for one crystal?"

Growling in rage, Shining Armor rushed at the speaking dragon. Having knocked him off the chair and onto the ground, the unicorn began to hit the reptile in the face. Yes, he didn't have magic. Yes he is weak. But he will not allow anyone to insult his wife. Despite the number of blows, the dragon only continued to laugh, but this time at the unicorn’s pathetic attempts to harm him. As soon as the laughter stopped, he casually hit him with the back of his hand and sent Shining flying to the end of the hall. Hitting the wall, the unicorn clenches his teeth and tries to suppress a groan of pain.

"I'll teach you some manners."

The dragon approached the lying unicorn. Raising Shining by the mane, he opened his mouth and prepared to release a stream of fire directly into the unicorn's face. But before that happened, there was a loud creaking sound from the door hinges.

"I think I found a nest of these creatures..."

Everyone present immediately turned towards the voice. At the entrance to the establishment stood a stallion pony in red armor. The dragons were in disbelief as Shining looked at the stranger in shock.

"Alicorn stallion?"

The alicorn glanced around the room before reaching for the strange device behind his back.

"Killing you with a sword takes too long."

A click was heard from the device.

"But there is an easier way..."
