That is how long ago the war between the Clockworks and Equestria was. Three years of fighting left the Clockworks in disarray, and in

their confusion, the Equestrian army marched onto their Capital, intent on capturing their Princess and ending the war for good.

But the Princess of Time was no where to be found.

Bronze Fog and her bodyguard, Brutus the Diamond Dog, have

been traveling Equestria for the past three years. The two hundredth anniversary of the victory over the Clockwork army was nearing; and Bronze and Brutus know what to do on that day...

The Princess of Time

Moving to Ponyville

Brutus was asleep on the train headed for Ponyville. "Daddy! Wake up!" A childish voice yells. Brutus jumps up scaring other passengers and looks around until he sees Bronze.
"Hey. What's up?" He asks the filly.
"We're almost at Ponyville."
"Oh. I wonder what it'll be like."
"Probably the most fun EVER!"
"Where's my bag?"
"Right here." The filly says gesturing to the large backpack behind her. Brutus reaches over to grab it but Fog's horn glows a faint bronze and the bag levitates to his hand.
"Thanks." He says reaching into his bag and searching around for something. "Gotta be here somewhere." He thinks out loud. "Aha." He states pulling out a bass guitar. The guitar has an enchantment so every sound it makes is a dubtrot wub. He yawns and places the guitar in his lap. The train was just arriving as he pulled it out so he put on his backpack hoisted a giggling Bronze Fog onto his shoulder and walked out of the train station with his guitar in hand(or is it paw). He looks around to see a few people staring in horror, confusion, or both emotions. He begins his walk toward town hall to find out where he will be staying while in Ponyville.
"DISC GET BACK HERE!!!" A very loud voice yells and before Brutus can react he is tackled by a black unicorn with blue eyes and a navy blue mane.
"I'm so sorry." The stallion says lifting Brutus back up with his magic. "Please forgive me for that."
"It's ok" Brutus says and before anypony else can say anything the stallion got tackled to the ground by an alabaster unicorn with an electric-blue mane and huge purple glasses.
"LEAF YOU BUCKING ASSHOLE!!!" The mare yells into the stallion's face and before she can do anything else she is wrapped in a bronze aura and lifted off him.
"You ok?" Brutus asks as he helps up the stallion.
"Yeah. I'm fine. My name's Leaf Disc." He says holding out a hoof.
"Brutus." The diamond dog states shaking Leaf's hoof.
"LEAF I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!" The mare yells.
"Brutus this is Vinyl Scratch. She is one of two of Ponyville's resident Dj's."
"Who's the other?"
"Me." Leaf says with a smile.
"You'll have to make that three resident Dj's." Brutus says with a chuckle.
"What do yo-OOOOHHHH your a Dj?"
"My daddy is the best!" Bronze shouts out with a giggle. She was about to say something else when suddenly a loud roar pierced through the air. Everypony's eyes went wide and they all rushed towards the source, a cabin with a manticore trying to get at somepony inside, Brutus got mad.
"Bronze, off my shoulder and take my guitar and my backpack and get back." He says with a growl and Bronze listens and takes his stuff and hops off.
"Be careful." She says fearfully. Brutus just smirks and charges at the manticore.
"Hey ugly!!!" He yells as he charges. The manticore looks at him and starts to roar only to be thrown into a tree by Brutus's shoulder-bash. It roars and pounces. Brutus gives it the death glare and as it comes near, grabs it's mane, spins around, and finally throws it into another tree. The manticore is definitely angry but instead of attacking Brutus again. it leaps toward Bronze and slaps her away with a swipe of it's paw. Now it's Brutus's turn to be angry. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT." He yells charging in like a madman and begins slamming his fist into the manticore face repeatedly, non-stop, anger and rage clouding his judgement. After a good thirty punches, he grabs it's mane, yet again, and throws it straight up into the air, leaps up right to it and piledrives it straight back down to the ground. The manticore was finished, broken, and unmoving. Brutus looked aound for Bronze to see that she was nowhere in sight and he got worried.
"Vinyl took her to the hospital as soon as she got hit." Leaf said to him. Brutus sighed in relief.
"I won't be doing any of that for a long while...hopefully." He says grabbing his bag and guitar. "Leaf?"
"Yeah."
"Lead the way."
"You got it." He says trotting off with Brutus following behind, leaving the corpse of the manticore where it lay, and headed for the hospital.

*three hours later*

Bronze was hurt very badly. Brutus was worried about his little Foggy. He sat in a chair next to the bed she was laying in just waiting for the doctor. Disc and Vinyl had gone home two hours ago. "Bronze please be ok." He said to the unconsious filly.

*outside the room*

"Princess. Glad you could come."
"The alicorn is in this room?"
"Yes but there is a concealment spell hiding her wings."
"Really?"
"Afraid so, your highness."
"How bad is she hurt?"
"Pretty bad, but she'll be fine in about two months."
"I'm going in." Celestia says entering the room.

*back in the room*

Princess Celestia went into the room and went towards the filly only to have her path blocked by Brutus. "Stay away from her." He states.
"Who are you to command a Princess?"
"Me? I'm her father so I'll do what's best for her and my instincts tell me to not let you near her."
"Father? No you aren't her father. That much I can tell." She says with a smirk.
"Don't you recognize me?" He asks with a grin.
"Huh what...No...It can't be."
"Sir Brutus of the Clockwork armies at your service." He says with a sarcastic bow.
"But how are you still alive? It's been two hundred years." She asks with a shocked expression.
"Buck you that's how." He says with a poker-winning facial expression.
"And that filly is...?"
"Bronze Fog. Princess of time and my daughter." He says, an axe appearing in his hand(paw?), and points it at Celestia. "You shall not touch her, you Tyrant." He says with a growl.
