''Fuck my life..Seriously fuck it!'' ´´I don't think i can take on 50 guards and what looked like the Princess Celestia and another dark fur coated unicorn pegasus which i can guess is Princess Luna.´´ however they didn't look happy.

"Monster you are as vile as your master Discord. You requested this audience in attempt for an assassination!"

No! I don't even know who Discord is.I was attacked by these guard and captain himself sent them after me. 'I said to the princesses in my defence"

"SILENCE! you will be brought to justice. Guards seize him!"

Then 5 pegasus guards started flying towards me with their spears.

"WAIT don't make me do this.-"one of the pegasus guards tried to jab me with the spear i dodged it with lightning quick reflexes and took his spear from him and broke the head of it to remove the sharp point. Another but successfully slashing me in the chest.."AAARGH!!"

I fell down on my left knee and I was breathing heavily trying not lose control to my anger...It did not work. The guard were observing my heavy breathing and were awaiting my next move.When I stood up it felt like a surge of power, I've never felt like this...sure i've had my episodes but nothing like this.

I turned towards the pegasus who had slashed me. Out of fear he hid himself behind his shield when I punched the shield he was sent flying into the horizon.

I took up the fighting stick which i had recently created. I started going chuck norris on the guards that surrounded me.

I hit one of the pegasus in the head while blocking another jam and i took the spear from the guard who tried to jab me and   stabbed him in the leg. And one last pegasus charged me and tried to impale me but i grabbed the sharp end of the spear and took it from him and hit him in the head so his helmet flew off and the stick it was attached to broke.

After my display of superior speed, strength and dexterity the remaining guards were terrified of me, Not even their 45 pegasus guards who were still by the princess could take me down.But then princess Celestia finally stepped forward.

"ENOUGH OF THIS!, You will be reunited with your master in stone!" As her horn started glowing I was afraid for what was going to happen next.

When the energy beam of pure light hit my body... I didn't feel any different. I looked towards the unicorn pegasus and she was staring at me with surprise. "NO...This can't be!" The princess said in denial'

I jumped on the unicorn pegasus drew my knife against her throat while having a choke hold with my arms around her neck  celestia was shivering in fear knowing her end was gonna come sooner than she expected. But then i could hear a roar like voice

STOP!!! DO NOT DARE TO HURT OUR SISTER!!" The dark blue princess Her horn started flaring and princess celestia was glowing, but nothing was happening...

"If i release you, can we have a civilized talk instead of violence?" I whispered into the sun goddesses ear.The princess was taking her time...probably shocked by my suggestion of a peaceful talk.

"Very well!" I let go of her and all her guards from before regroup with spears pointed towards me

"Aren't you gonna tell them to put down their weapons?" I asked taking my fighting stance again if they tried to attack me.

"No Creature has ever come this close to end my life. Not even your master Discord.Its understandable if they are keeping their guard up."

The dark blue mare flew up to her sister."Is it possible sister? is this thing a human and if so..Could it mean they've returned?" She leaned to her sister while keeping her gaze on me

"You know Princess you could just ask me if i am a human. And the answer is yes." I said with a cocky tone against the monarchs

"So The masters of war and Defiers of magic have returned.."Celestia said in a slight horrified and dramatic voice.

What?!" I took note of the title she had given me I understand the master of war part, But what do you mean Defiers of magic?" I asked the princesses in a shocked expression

"Human before we answer your question, we must know what your attentions are in Equestria!"

"I don't have one. Me and my friend where supposed to die honorable deaths in my world but..."

**I explained to the princesses how i got here and how this drama started**

"...Are you saying my guards attacked you without provocation?" Celestia asked me with a (I don't believe you stare)'

"If I was here to kill I would have done it by now wouldn't I?"

"Its hard to believe your story human..Captain Shining is the most honorable guard I have met in thousands of years" Celestia kept her unconvincing gaze

Right then the princess was interrupted by four ponies i recognized immediately and one human who was escorted by a couple of guards

"Anthony!" James yelled out which put the guards on even more alert "Motha fucka are you outta your damn mind?

What did you do this time?!"

I ran towards my brother and gave him a bear hug which lifted him from the ground.Twilight however did not look happy "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BBBFF!?"'She yelled at me with her horn glowing "Princess celestia what happened? a guard pony went around town looking for someone like James but white instead they said that he had attack my brother!"

*** After a long Re-explanation what had happened to the events***

"I don't believe you! The royal guard would never do such a thing let alone my brother"

"Why would I attack the royal guard then? I'm psychopathic yes, but I never attack unless in self defence. and the scar on my face was from the encounter before I fought your brother..and this scar-" I took off my shirt and showed them all the heavy bleeding wound from my chest which Twilight went pale from seeing.

"I did fight the guards but it was all in non lethal force i used a spear with its sharp point broken off so nopony would get hurt. But...Your brother however threw a spear which cut threw me luckily it slashed the side of my rib and if it hit a little to the left i might have stopped breathing! ATTEMPT AT MURDER!" I shouted in a loud and angry voice."I'm not going to lie, I was close to killing your brother, make his head into a trophy and make his chain of command realize not to fuck with me..But luckily for him I happened to meet his wife and she was the most reasonable person i met today. She asked me to not kill him. instead of attacking me. I showed him mercy even tho he almost killed me. Oh, and Twilight you may want to talk to her."

"But back to the original topic. Celestia I need to know what you meant earlier, Defiers of magic you called us humans."Everyone including James were surprised by the title

Alright then I see if you came here for death and destruction you would have done it by now. A long time ago when Discord The spirit of chaos was Sovereign over the world he had an army at his disposal..Humans which took care of any resistance from any other of the races. Ponies,Buffalos,Gryphons, Minotaurs and last but not least dragons...According to legend they weren't from this world. And as an impressive way of showing their dominance. They had killed all dragons to extinction in their world. And they were the first to create swords,Spears and armor in our world. as you can see we learned a thing or two from them.

"Wait are you telling me Dragons existed in the human world!!?" me and james said in unison with a equal amount of shock in our voices

"Indeed. The humans were master of tactics and combat. And one specific feature with them was that they had a full immunity against magic and everything they were in contact couldn't tap into magic as well.. For example when you were holding me hostage and Luna tried to teleport me to safety, it wouldn't allow her as long as i was in physical contact with you.

''YOU HOLD THE PRINCESS HOSTAGE!!?'' the four ponies screamed in unison.

''Aye, She tried to turn me into stone and her guards did try to kill me'' I said with my hands in the air like a shield from the accusation

''5 minutes in a new world and you already took a sun goddess hostage...Why am i not surprised'' James said with his hands covering his face out of embarrassment

''Continuing. The humans had their Immunity for magic. Not even the Elements could stop them. But something happened with their ranks...The humans rebelled against their master and with their Immunity and disruption of magic they easily overthrew him but he wasn't defeated just yet. He was running from his subjects until we cornered him and used the elements against him while he was weakened and injured.''

''How long ago was this?'' James asked out of  curiosity

''Close to two thousand years ago..'' Celestia replied

''That was during the Roman empire'' James said in shock and turned his face towards me ''Your guards helmets even reflect similar to what they had.''

''How do you know that?'' I asked James

''I studied Roman and Greek history during College remember?''

''Huh..looks like you're worthless knowledge finally is put to use.'' I said with an arrogant smile

''But what happened to the humans?'' Twilight asked her mentor

''The humans ended up creating a civil war and they didn't have any females to reproduce so in the end they died out.''Celestia said in a rather sad tone

''And the same will happen to us'' I said with a angry look at both of them.Everyone were watching me including james outa shock from my completely moodswing comment.

''I think we have discussed enough for now. But i see no reason to fight you or your army princess. plus they would lose if I really wanted to win'' I said crossing my arms and letting my guard down.

''Can you send us back to our world?''James asked a little desperately.

''I'm sorry but even if i knew a spell to send you to another world it wouldn't work on you humans''

''So..We are stuck here''?

Celestia nodded

''But where are we supposed to live? How will we keep us from starving if we cant afford to buy food and how are we supposed to earn a living.'' James said confused and without knowing what to do he almost started to panic.

I wrapped my arms around my brother with a comedic smile.''Oh come on James don't worry about food" I said in a optimistic voice... "We can always eat that pony over there" I pointed towards a random guard who took notice and I swear I could see piss going down his leg.

"May we be excused for a moment?" The princesses said and the three Alicorns as Twilight had called them were discussing about us in the background.

***

The day was reaching the point of twilight and it started getting dark

We three have come to an agreement that you two have an offer to become citizens of Equestria and If you are interested you can be signed in into the Royal guard as...Lets just say that your fighting skills haven't gone on blind eyes. Any pony who can take out 25 of my guards without even trying would be a valuable asset to the royal guard.

I was a bit taken back by the offer..´´Why would they offer two very dangerous and possibly psychotic humans a place amongst their military and close to the leaders of a nation as well..There is something they aren't telling us..´´. I am only in if James is tagging along, And for the the record I am and always will be a marine and my Corp and country are my main priority.

James did have some moral issue about..Desertion, as much as we knew we would never see earth again It was still a hard choice."I agree with Anthony. Me and Anthony will always be marines." James took a moment before continuing."But as long as our government has no existence in this world we will work for you. But we won't give away government information."

We can keep discussing the terms at The library if its okay with Twilight?. 'Princess Celestia asked her student'

Of course princess 'Twilight said with a big smile towards her mentor'

'After seeing A squad of pegasi carry the injured captain away from ponyville to a castle in a mountain off in the distance and Twilight talking to princess Cadance outside ponyville. she then hugged her and looked cheerful, probably from the news that she is going to be an aunt'

You two will be working as our personal guards and You will only answer to us 'Celestia said with a dominant facial expression'

I kinda love the irony of hiring a guard that almost killed you. I commented the idea

We agree to these terms 'James said with a respectful nod'

So the Last thing is that you both will be equipped according to your choosing and you two will have to pick which Princess you wish to protect.

Well i can obviously say by our personalities that I'm more of day person and Anthony here is more of a night person so that pretty much sums it up that i will be protecting you Princess celestia

James logic is flawless. There is no better feeling than being awake during complete darkness and to see the beautiful moon 'i said with charisma in my voice' So i will be protecting Princess Luna

DO YOU REALLY MEAN THAT?! 'Luna said with a overjoyed laud voice which made everyone look at her funny' hehe sorry 'she said while giving an adorable cute face'

And Lastly you have the option to change your name into something..more Equestrian..

Name change? Do we have to pay 10$ for it?

Anthony ...Shut the fuck up with your memes already and accept the terms.

Fine...I guess Crimson Phoenix will do and its also bad ass, What about you James?

I will go with Dawn Fury

Then we have an agreement 'Luna said with a graceful smile'

You both will be in Canterlot for a week. Tomorrow night you both will have a chariot to pick you up. Make sure to say your goodbyes and have your stuff ready!

Good bye princesses 'James licking ass as always'. And just like that the princesses were gone by some sort of teleportation.

Well then Dawn Fury lets get the fuck outta this tree house.'I chuckeling at the idea of name change for free''

Right after you Crimson Phoenix. 'James said with a cheeky smile'

As your good friend. If you ever call me that again. I will break your fucking neck.

'We left the tree house to see all the guards had disappeared. and a note which was hanging on the door

*Anthony and James could you please come to sugarcube corner....Its this big house that looks like its made out of candy*

***

*While we were searching for sugarcube corner. James told me of his day and his plans tomorrow*

Finally. This house looks like it belongs in a kids show for girls. 'I said turning towards James'

Lets just get inside already ' James said with a tired and annoyed sigh'

'As we went inside, the room was black and not even with my enhanced night vision i couldn't see what was in the room'

SURPRISE!!!

I drew my knife and James drew his handgun and started aiming out of Marine instinct.

'All the ponies were in utter silence from shock from seeing us'

..........Everyone still just staring at us........

Calm down everypony they are really nice if you give them a chance 'applejack told the shocked crowd'

'Me and James put away our weapons'

Mister Anthony 'I saw Squeaky belle by my leg'

Hey sweetie belle 'I went down and hugged the little filly, When the ponies saw me hugging the filly i guess they must have realized that I'm friendly'

What happened to the music 'some pink pony yelled out'

Sorry I'l take care of that 'Said a pony with electric blue hair with purple glasses'

Youtube Video

After a couple of minutes the ponies started to get more comfortable with me and James' They started dancing, eating and taking a closer look at us.

Anyways I am curious myself to learn more about you 'Cheerilee said with a warm smile'

Well I will see you tomorrow then, Enjoy the party.'I gave a warm smile back to cheerilee'

Uhh...Anthony are you alright?

Yeah...Why do you ask?

Since when are you polite? seriously you're starting to creep me out. 'James took a step back'

Don't worry I'm going all pedobear on them ' I replied to James uncomfortableness'

Now there is the Anthony I know 'James said relieved with a cheeky grin on his ugly face'

**After meeting Pinkie pie, Lyra , Bon bon, The flower ponies, Vinyl, Octavia and the rest of the ponies that showed up the to party**

Anthony and James do you two care to say a few words? 'Pinkie said with a giant glee'

Sure pinkie, 'James responded'

'James and I went up on the stage were vinyl had been doing her Djing'

Thank you all for coming here tonight I'm glad that you ponies aren't afraid of me and Anthony anymore. We have generously been granted a home and a job from the princesses, We have been honored to be their personal guards. And as part of the Royal guard we are here to protect and serve to all who need our help.

'A loud applause came from the ponies'

'Then i pushed James away to take the microphone' And tomorrow 11 PM me and James will be working out, So all you mares who want to see real muscles can come by the Dojo and see me and James spar in a kickboxing match all in good fun.

'James facepalmed at my interjection' Good damnit Anthony

'All the mares in the party started blushing except Twilight'

Thank you all for coming and have good night 'James ended the speech, and him and I went off the stage'

'As the towns ponies started leaving i went up to rarity to ask her for a favor'

Uh...Rarity..Me and James need to ask a favor from you' I was kicking the floor a little bit out of shame'

Yes? What is it darling?

Remember what i said about us humans always wearing cloths? well that requires us having a lot of cloths...And i was wondering if you could make me and James 5 copies of our current uniforms.

Are you telling me...that you want to make uniform for humans 'Rarity's eyes started to glitter with excitement'

uh...yes ' hesitantly answered'

This is the opportunity of a lifetime! Of course i'll help you and James,Free of charge of course. I can start with your batch of uniforms. I will all night if i have to! 'she said with a dramatic pose' I just need to make a couple of measurements and tell me what you want and then i'll drop them off before you have to leave tomorrow.

Thank you rarity. ' I went down on one knee and kissed her hoof. But i saw across the room that Spike got jealous...'

'I turned to James and gave him a bro shake' Cya tomorrow Dawn Fury 'still chuckling at the idea of our new names'

Take care Anthony 'James said rolling his eyes'

Canterlot Castle

Tia... don't you think we should have told the humans about all their powers?

No Lulu for now we need to wait and see what fate has in store for them.
