Dark Phoenix P.O.V: It had been what? About a week since he had come to Earth and to a country called Equestria. He had the armed forces after him though little of it had been his fault not to mention he was cut off from any U.S.E armed forces so he could go home. His home fleet known as the 4,879th Mythic fleet was probably running around with it's ass on fire trying to find him. He chuckled at the thought of Field Marshall Star Fall trying to keep everything under wraps and not blow up the entire fleet through some freak accident. He had decided to go exploring to gather information on the area around him. From what the dragoness had told him this place was a Diarchy with an armed force of 7,800+ soldiers. He also found out that compared to other countries the Griffin Empire, Changeling kingdoms, and Minotaur states the Equestrian armed forces while highly trained were not in large numbers. What passed for highly trained here would pass off as less than basic training in the U.S.E armed forces. The Dragoness had also allowed him to stay with her which made him rather happy. He was currently hunting and carrying his BS-67 hoping for a deer or bear thankfully he didn't have to wait to long as he soon heard a roar followed by another. He ran silently through the bushes before jumping into a tree to watch what was happening below him. It was a bear against a Hydra not the best match as the Hydra had the bear outmatched with size alone not to mention it's seven heads. He watched as the bear was picked up by the Hydra before being slammed into the ground to fall victim to the Hydra except the seven headed monster didn't kill it right away instead it optioned to play with it which pissed Dark Phoenix off to no end as he believed killing an enemy should be quick and only torture should be used as a last option. This was the Hydra having fun with it's prey before killing it. This caused him to charge at the creature with a roar that could be heard miles away due to the canyons, mountains, and crevices. He blew off one head before hitting two others to shock it while he aimed for the heart area silently cursing himself for not bringing his rocket launcher to deal with something like this.

Celestia P.O.V: She had returned to Canterlot with Luna after she had woken up much to Celestia's relief but now she had fifteen letters to write to different families about the death of they're loved ones. She never enjoyed doing such a thing especially if she had a connection to them like she did to one of the guards in that unit. His name was Silver Spear and she had become friends with him a few years ago. She wished she could take it farther than that but she would out live him while he died in front of her. The unit known as the Speeders was angry and upset over the loss of their friends not to mention the fact that they had been so easily ambushed by another being. She knew they would want revenge and she knew some of them would kill the creature. She on the other hand was angry at what had happened with her soldiers and she could not forgive the creature for it. All she knew was that this creature had emotions but was also able of killing without to much thought on the matter. She realized by openly hunting this thing that she the hunter had become the hunted.

Stravia P.O.V: She had watched the human leave allowing her to be alone for a while letting her think on what the human had said. It made her slightly happy that another being had come to her for help instead of trying to kill her just for being who she was. He had said her kind and his had been friends for a long time which led to one question. Where there others out there? She sighed as the thought of other dragons out in the universe excited her and scared her as she didn't know if they would like her should they come this planet. One thing she did know though was that humanity was returning and it had all gone according to the prophecy. It started out as a human would fall from the skies, become hunted only to turn around and become the hunter, find something it didn't like, fire would rain from the skies, death would follow, and this human would be at the epicenter except she had no idea what was going to happen in full that was the problem with prophecies they left to much room for error and to much unknown.

Dark Phoenix P.O.V: He had put the bear to rest after an hour long fight against the Hydra. He took what he could carry from it before turning around and begining his trek back through the forest only to stop as he saw something. He placed the meat down and walked towards it and what he found was an old house. It looked like it was a 21st century style home as he remembered the design of such buildings from when he was a child. It looked run down but none the less he entered to see what he could find. With his BS-67 raised he pushed open the door gently before scanning the room for anything hostile. He checked behind the door to find nothing. The room he was in was what would have been the living room if there weren't several wasp nests inside. He ignored this and continued into the kitchen where he found a skeleton a human one which caused him to tense up as memories came back to him of the first time he saw a skeleton bleached like this. It was the first time they encountered the Spine Rippers and infectious race that would tear out your spine before driving it's kind into your body completely changing you into a tool of war against your own. He had lost soldiers to those things even though it was very few it still struck him deep when he heard they're screams. The most messed up part was that you could see the torment on the human or alien face after it had been consumed. He hated that race with every fiber in his body. The Skeleton looked to be that of a male as the hip joints were completely different from that of a female. He continued on wards till he entered what was the master bedroom finding another skeleton this one being female but unlike the other one it had the look of being messed with or blown apart if the bone fragments were anything to go by. He soon left the room after finding nothing of use only to enter a smaller room in which two child sized skeletons lay on the floor. What got him the most was the fact that the chest plate of the skeleton had a massive hole in it almost as if it had been hit by a bullet. He check the other to find the skull cracked, two arm bones broken, and finally a femur ground to dust. It looked like the family had been tortured or brutally killed. He was about to walk out until he saw a paper book with the words Milo's journal on it. He picked up the book, blew off the dust, and began to read.

Entry one. October 5,2109: Hi my name is Milo and I'm nine years old daddy gave me you to write in. In my family are four people. Me, my older brother Scott, my mommy sara, and daddy Jake. We live in a forest now and since we do and no one else is around we get bored. Daddy tells us not to go to far from the house because of dangerous things that live out there.

Entry fifteen. November 7,2109: Well we've been out here for a while now and daddy told me why. Some place called Yellowstone exploded and this was one of the few areas not affected. So we live here now. He skipped to a later date and what he read angered and saddened him.

Entry 112. December 24, 2111: I'm eleven now but I'm scared. Things keep pounding on the door telling us to open up in the name of the king and queen but there are none there can't be. These things look like ponies and they tried to kill me when I looked out the window.

Entry 113. December 29,2111: They've gotten in and daddie's dead including mommy. I could hear her scream as the sound of bones breaking reached my ears. I don't want to die. These ponies are were gold armor and have horns or wings I loved pegasi as they were always my favorite mythical creature except these ones are killing us. I just saw brother get killed they blew open his chest and broke his skull. They're after me. The rest -what little there was- was blotted out by dried blood. His hands let go of the book as his hands curled into fists and his body began shake with rage. These ponies had killed children and a family that had done no harm. A single thought ran through his head. These people had been killed for nothing. He grabbed the bones of each family member and buried them with a cross above they're heads. He then did the one thing he rarely ever did. He pulled out his purple Phasna energy knife and drove it into the ground with ten inches out of the thirteen out in open. He began to sing a song that had brought him comfort when he was just starting out as a soldier. It was by a group known as Voice Of Thousands.

"When the world falls apart."
"Show them who you are."
"For no one will care."
"Until they know you are there."
"You are hope."
"You are a shield."
"You take hold of the rope."
"You let scars become healed."
"You must never forget."
"No you must never regret."
"Those who died"
"Those who couldn't be saved."
"They came and they fought."
"They bled like you and me."
"They fought for our freedom."
"Just like you and me."
"Now laid to rest you now are."
"For you have shown everyone who you are."
"A shield."
"A sword."
"A light in the darkness."
"You sacrificed yourself."
"You threw yourself in harms way."
"So others out there could live another day."

With that he ended the song. He admitted he wasn't the best singer but he believed that the thought is what counts. As he turned to leave he could have sworn he heard someone whisper. "Thank you." before walking away from the house. He swore one thing though. He would bring judement down onto these ponies even if he had to bring an entire fleet to do so. The ponies had just opened the doors into a Nightmare and the only way would be to find someway to appologize for they're crimes.
