Chapter 1: Intro

(SOCOM U.S Navy SEALS original theme)[youtube=http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/eB188qaJnBg/mqdefault.jpg]

My name is Gage but you can call me my nickname Eagle. I am an Army JROTC cadet SSGT Rolon, Foxtrot company. The acronyms translate into Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps and Staff Sargent. I love my country and the freedoms it has blessed me with because of our soldiers over seas.

Thank you all for your service and sacrifice. I myself and a few of my friends also want to serve in the military. My battle bud Bowen and I both want to become U.S Navy SEALs. Well, I mite lean more towards the army if I get a better deal when I go to enlist. If they let me enlist.

But if I end up going hooyah as a SEAL, I personally want to be an assaulter, Bowen want's to be an EOD operator. Being an assaulter means more action and I love to take action! I just hope his lazy ass doesn't get me killed. But if I end up going hooah I want to be a U.S Army Ranger weapons specialist. Unless I mistook the Army's special forces guys in my Army skills book for Rangers, when they could be Green Berets and the Rangers mite not even have that kind of squad specialization.

Life's good for the most part. I have good friends and family, schools good to for the most part. I try my hardest to get good grades.

Anyway, I'm a big military kind of guy, I listen to tributes and such. I'd like to have the short hair buzz cut, but my mom always says no I'd look like a skin head. I have some muscles but not as -defined- as I'd like them. I spend a majority of my time gaming, the other on getting in shape for the military and school's Army JROTC Raider team.

I have a few uniforms not including the class b one from JROTC. Seriously those things suck ass to have to wear! My favorite is split between my Navy and Army ones for a couple reasons. The navy ones being subdued urban digital and NWU Type 1 digital, and the Army ones being some old woodland BDU and newer ACU's. Or Battle Dress Uniform and Army Combat Uniform if you prefer to say the full names and or do not know the acronyms.

I like my Army ACU one for its multiple patch spots with the IR beacons on the shoulders, and that it has a collar that can zip up. I like the Navy subdued urban digital for its black, white and grey pattern, and the other because it has a NWU tactical combat shirt with a 1/4 zip made by TRU-SPEC. The full name of NWU being Navy Work Uniform and TRU-SPEC being a military clothing line company. I even have a desert marpat FROG uniform for the Marine Corps. I know that the Navy work uniform that's two shades of blue, with black and white coloring is one of three current day official camo patterns. So that leaves me to believe that the grey one I have is the uniform pattern for the Navy reserves. The other two patterns being AOR1 and AOR2, the acronyms full names are unknown to me.

For my ACU jacket, I put a medal of honor game inspired patch with the American Eagle's head on the left lower arm patch spot. I got it because it was a special ops awareness booster, so since its basically a support the troops patch I naturally took a liking to it. On the right upper arm, I put my red, white and blue U.S flag. On the chest I put my name tab on the right patch point, in the middle where the my rank insignia is. On the left side of the chest is a JROTC embroidered name tab, to distinguish me as a cadet rather than a currently enlisted Army personnel. Because my schools JROTC didn't get a surplus this year, had to buy my own ACUs out of dedication. But the payoff was sweet, my ass looks sexy in military fatigues.

I am a type 1 diabetic. I was diagnosed a year ago, like many others it nearly killed me.

We didn't know until the effects had been taking place for a few days. I was kind of lucky it hadn't happened years ago seeing I'm now 16 years old. I had been having extreme thirst for almost all my life, maybe it was the gallons of water I'd chug down every day that held it off for so long.

It had taken my muscle mass away in every part of my body, building them back up was a pain. The first time I walked with them after words sucked so freaking much. I've been fitting as much work-out time in as possible, from weights training at school to doing push-ups and sit-ups in reps of 25 sometimes at my house.

As some of you may know being a type 1 diabetic means I possibly can't join the military position I want. Maybe I can get an exception for another role in the military, but I wouldn't want it. SEALs or Rangers are the only things for me right now.

I can't imagine how many people suffer from diseases or disability and are unable to serve their country the way they want or at all because of it. But I'm not here to cry about it. Whining about it does nothing about it.

Well we all need to vent sometimes, so I'm not saying no one has the right to. Heck, the depression that diabetes put me through was enough to bring me to tears. It also made me have depression fazes where I would just mope around and ask myself, why me? Did I do something in my life to disserve this? I'm sorry if I did! All I want to do is give back what so many men and woman given me. I want to stop bad people from hurting and scaring the innocent.

A big thing that helped me through my depression was a little show that many guys love.

-My little pony-friend ship is magic-.

God that was such a good day to be alive! The story, the 'plot' (winks) , if you don't get that joke then you must me new here. Then we have the main six of the show. I feel some of them represent me, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy. Because I feel they represent aspects of myself, there're generosity, kindness and loyalty. I particularly like Rainbow Dash the best, her dream of becoming one of the elite flyers known as the Wonder Bolts. Mine of wanting to become an elite soldier. Her cocky attitude, me playfully gloating about my gaming skills to my friends online. She's just so relatable!

The show eventually led me to the really awesome website called 'Fimfiction'.

That also I managed to use to convert my buddy Bowen to a brony. Welcome to the herd buddy!

So that's that then, now lets get this day started.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Its a Friday morning, I got up at 4:30am as usual.

Got dressed in normal cloths instead of a military uniform, which is mostly when I don't have JROTC on that day or not doing things that are military related. Well I do still wear my military cargos for the cargo pocket space, so I can easily store my blood sugar tester and sugar boosters for when my blood sugar is low. Tactical thinking for the win!

I ate breakfast, then hopped on the computer to pass what time I had left at my lovely little haven of a home. I love to watch -Markiplier-.

Such a great guy, I mean how many youtubers use their fame to donate to charity. He also gives regular shout outs to his fandom.

He use to just do horror game playthroughs, but now he has expanded his channel tremendously.

Now he does Gmod and tons of other games that would take to long to list.

Another youtuber I like is -seananners-. Oh my god! The laughs I get from that guy are equal to the ones I get from -mlp Michael- from -Roster Teeth- when he does his rage quit videos! One last youtuber that is funny as heck is Vanossgaming! Look'em up when yawl get a chance if you don't know them already.

When 6:10 came around, it was off to school, where I only love two classes and a couple friends.

Oh and let me say this, when you walk to the bus stop and its dark and you know about slender man, the rake, strider and Jeff the killer. Plus you live in the suburbs, you get a little paranoid.

But that's okay because I live across the street from a former U.S Army Ranger. Who by the way...is like...

super cool! As Batman himself from -collegehumor- would say. He even takes me shooting with him! Nothing like having a competitive shoot-off with a former operator.

I listen to music as I walk down my street's long road and head for my bus stop, its about a five to eight minute walk depending on the pace you move. When I got there I waited until it finally came. Getting on the bus I tell my bus driver good morning because I like to have manners, plus its a good feeling that it mite lighten up someone's day. I then take my usual seat near the back of the bus. After twenty minutes we arrive at our high school and begin the day. After a few classes it was lunch, the only time when Bowen and I get to really chat other than by Xbox Live, or phone.

"Hey man what's up?" Bowen had approached me and gave me the friendly tap on the shoulder.

"Nothing much."

I say that to everyone if they ask, unless I feel I have something to say worthwhile.

"I'll be back, guard my shit with your life."

"When don't I have your back?" I jokingly reply.

He had left to use the bathroom like always then came back.

"So how's it going with you?" he asks to start conversation.

"Same old same old."

"You going to quit rifles or what?"

"Nah I just had to make up my midterms, leaving early for winter break and all that."

"Oh I was wondering why you didn't show up the last two practices."

" Oh shit, you think LT.COL dropped me!?"

"Hell no your one of the best shots."

"You jelly bro?" I flash Bowen a cocky smile.

"Shut the hell up." Bowen laughs.

"Fuck your shit!"

"Fuck your couch!"

After our little chit chat about life and our military goals and whatever else popped up, the bell rang signaling my time to go to biology class.

"Well I'll catch you later Bowen." I say to him and head out along with the others.

My grandmother, Grandma Sandy always said she didn't believe in goodbyes. Most of our family being believers, and not bible banging preachers that you'd expect. I don't care about your religion, race, sexuality or beliefs. You stick to your thing and I'll stick to mine. Don't preach it to me and we're cool. Grandma Sandy always taught me to say 'until we meet again', because we will meet again in this life...or the next. I hold those words dear.

Then after my biology class, I rushed off to FSGT's(First Sargent's) room for rifle training. I had arrived about a minuet in a half later and set my bags down.

"Hey Gage." LT.COL(Lieutenant Colonel) greeted me as I set my bags down.

"Yes sir?"

"We don't have rifle's today."

"Oh crap!" I say quickly scooping my bags back up.

"Think you can make it to your bus!" LT.COL asks in concern.

"Yes sir, thank you sir!" I reply as I rush out the door and dart down the halls.

I was on the other side of school from bus boarding. I luckily made it in plenty of time even with all the foot traffic. Then it was back to home sweet home! Finally I get to kick some ass on Xbox! Funny thing is LT.COL calls it an Xcube. Ha, old timers!

On the way back, I hit-up my old friend Mathew and his friends for some conversation. We usually just go with the flow. Taking about  whatever comes up. There was this one time that we played truth or dare. I chose truth, and was asked if I've ever thought about being with a guy. I came up with a quick joke to answer, saying that I did and that it had to be a one-night stand and that I'm not on the receiving end. Everyone had a good laugh from that.

When it came time for me to ask someone truth or dare, it was one of Mathew's friends. I thought of something that I was sure he would chicken out of It was me. Mathew and his friend and the three girls that were also friends with him as a group. I dare him to touch all three of the girls breasts, thinking that he wouldn't do it. But in one swift motion, that crazy mother fucker slid his hands across all three of their tits in two different seats!

The way Mathew jumped out of the seat he was sharing with the other guy and into mine, let you know that -it was about to go down-!

But surprisingly they didn't kick his ass but rather gave him props for doing it so swiftly! Returning to my bus stop, I exit the bus and make my way home, still laughing my ass off. It was a ten minute walk to and from so it didn't take me long. Walking through my house door I was greeted by my awesome mom. She would ask me how my day was and what I had for lunch. I'd tell her and check my blood sugar because its usually low after school. Then its off to my room. I had personalized it over time to my liking. Putting a small American flag on the wall next to my bedroom door. I also had some military window stickers and military poster on the walls around my bed, and a few posters with the American Eagle on them. I'm such a military junky.

After a few hours of Xbox and exercise between games. I hop in the shower, shave and brush my teeth. Then I go to bed.

That's my day-to-day life. Nothing to interesting, just your average teen. I'm just wondering what the future holds for my life?

A few months later...

It was collage and career night! I couldn't wait until 6:00pm! Finally I can ask a person from the Navy and Army what I can do for my country!

"Come on ma!" I call to my mother. She had been getting ready in her rooms bathroom and I was excited as ever!

"Alright cool your jets honey!"

"Well hurry up we have to go!"

"I'm coming!"

My Mother walks out of her room and follows me out the door. We hop in our red mustang convertible and role the windows down, we were about to drive off. When our friend Paul greeted us.

"Hey guys how you both doing?"

"Pretty good!" I call back.

"We were about to head to Gage's school's career night!" My mom adds.

"Oh cool, well I wont keep 'ya then, have fun you two!"

"Thanks I will!" I reply before we resume to drive off.

Oh I can't wait, this is going to be so awesome! I mentally scream to myself.

About one hour later...

I couldn't believe it. I was shot down by the Navy and Army. Both said that I would not meet the physical standards. The lady from the Army went as far to say that I was...a liability. I understood what she meant but that tone it was said in just sounded uncaring! I was hoping for a least some role in the military. But they said I'll be lucky just to make it into a reserve! One at least had the kindness to say if I were ever cured and the doctor gives me the go ahead I could enlist. I was now home. I Alienated myself from the world do to my own grief. I had buried my head in my hands. Sitting and weeping quietly on my bed to not let my mom know what I was doing. I knew she would give me a talk that would make me cry more with her motherly love. I didn't want to have to deal with it.

"I'm...sorry...guys. I quietly say to my past military ancestors and living uncle Don, whom served in Operation Desert Storm in the 82nd Airborne.I...failed you all... I...failed to give back." This lasted maybe until 9:00pm. I decided to hit they hay early this time. Not having anything else put tare myself up over my self-pity.

Slowly but surly, I drift off into sleep. But before then, my mother came and checked up on me. I didn't move to make her think I was asleep. As she closes my bedroom door I hear her whisper..."Good night my little soldier."

She probably knew I wasn't taking it so well. Because I never go to sleep early.

Chapter 2: revelations

Twilight was in the Canterlot royal archives, always an open-minded learner. It had been a little time since she became the newest princess of Equestria. She and spike were going over books specifically about magic. Being the princess of magic she was always in the market for any new spells.

"Spike come here quick!"

"What is it Twilight, you find a good one?"

"Yes come look, its full of spells on summoning creatures for aid, it might be useful!"

"Really, that's awesome let me see!"

"Oh spike I can't believe it! It has Timber wolves, Dragons, Diamond dogs, Minotaurs, and...Hu..mans?"

"Humans?" spike asked out of curiosity.

"I'm just as clueless as you spike?"

"Well read on, what does it say about them?"

"It says that Humans are a bipedal creatures and some can stand up to 6 and over feet in height!"

"Wow that's taller than princess Celestia!"

"I know lets keep reading! It goes on to say that they are generally a peaceful race with others...than themselves? They have since gone extinct from a surreys of wars between themselves!"

Twilight and Spike were shocked from this discovery.

"Wow Twilight, that's really sad, a race killed itself off with war."

"I know Spike if only they had known the power of friendship, they mite of survived to this day.

Twilight moved onward to read again.

However ponies have lived with these beings while they still walked the Earth, fortunately some powerful unicorns have created spells to summon certain beings of their now extinct race. This book containing the spell to summon the warriors of their societies!"

"Really Twilight! Can you do that! Can you bring some of them back!"

"While I do believe myself powerful enough to do so Spike, I'm not sure that's such a good Idea. But...I guess it couldn't cause harm to at least know the spell."

"Alright Twilight!" The baby dragon shouted in excitement.

"But I'll only use it as a last resort should the need arise."

"Aww alright Twilight, but still, you could bring an extinct race back!"

"You know Spike, the more you think about it, these creatures sound a lot like those intelligent beings we saw in that world through the mere portal."

"Hey yeah."

"Twilight!" Shining Armor had been searching for his little sister and had been told she was in the royal archives.

"Big brother why are you here!?" Twilight and Shining embraced each other in a hug.

"I'm so glad your here big brother!"

"Me to Twilight but I'm sorry, we don't have time for a celebration."

"What's wrong big brother?"

"Princess Celestia will explain when we get there but right now we need you."

"Alright, Spike you put these books back and then come join us."

"Yes mam!" Spike gives Twilight a snappy solute.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been nearly a week, it was Thursday now. I was wearing my Army pants from my ACU uniform and a black t-shirt with a white and red hoodie I painted myself. I have a few hoodies I made from an Assassin's Creed inspired design. This one being an AC3 Desmond Miles inspired one, I also have a American Eagle jacket with the military branches symbols ironed onto various spots. I also made AC3 and black flag inspired hoodies to.

I still feel a little down from last week. But I have to go to school. Regardless of my heartache. I head out the door and make my way down the street. Slowly walking to my bus stop with my eyes staring at the ground along the way. At lest I'm alone for little longer to get my head together. I had been trying to think about the positive. They people from the Army and Navy stands had said if I were to be cured some day and be cleared by a doctor I could enlist. I also had thought maybe I could try coast guard or the nation guard. Maybe even work with a company that is dedicated to troops, Like the companies that make the gear, at least its something. Maybe I could even do police SWAT or FBI Tactical Operations.

The thought made me perk up a bit. A small smile found its way on my face as I wait at my bus stop. The sun was just coming over the horizon. I can see a couple buses coming down the road my way, among them was mine. When they came to a stop at the three way I and a few other kids where standing off to the side on. We boarded one by one then one bus would take off and the next would come to take its place. The next being mine, I board and say good morning to my driver then take my seat. I lean my head on the window closing my eyes, I take a deep breath and get relaxed as we ride our way to school.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"WHAT!" Twilight exclaims.

"Yes princess Twilight it is true, the Changelings are coming as we speak."

"But princess Celestia what are..."

"We're here Twilight!" Pinkie pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Applejack had just entered the meeting room.

"Girls!" Twilight calls.

They all embraced in a group hug.

"Oh we misted you so much Twilight we need to have a it's been almost a week until we last saw you, and you turned into an alicorn, lets party!"

"Sorry Pinkie but we have a big problem on our hooves."

"About that partner...."

" Yeah what's with the cloak and dagger anyway?" Rainbow Dash cut Applejack off.

"Yes darling the massager only said that it was urgent to come as soon as possible?" Rarity continued the circle of interruption.

Twilight only looked at them with worry of her next words.

"What's wrong Twilight, you can tell us we're your friends, that is if you don't mind. Fluttershy tried to comfort her friend, but all twilight did was look down.

"Girls." Princess Celestia said softly.

The main six turned their heads to their ruler.

"The secrecy was to avoid causing a mass panic to the other settlements."

"What would cause such a thing princess?" Rarity asked with a hint of fear.

"It is the Changelings my little ponies, they are invading and have their sight's set on Canterlot yet again."

Everypony gasped.

"Yes and we must try to hold the line here, against this menace. Shining Armor stated with determination.

"Shining Armor and my sister Luna are overseeing the cities defense's and urging citizens to stay indoors."

"You mite have to use that spell after all Twilight." Spike comments. whom had been silent the majority of the meeting.

"Spike shh!" Twilight shoots a hoof up to her lips.

"Spell, Twilight?" Princess Celestia asked, she didn't have a look of anger or disappointment, just a curious expression with her head tilted to the side.

"*Sigh* Yes princess, a new spell Spike and I have discovered in the Canterlot royal archives."

"What kind of spell Twilight?"

"A spell of summoning princess."

"Summon what Twilight?"

"A....Human....princess."

(Assassin's Creed Revelations-main theme) [youtube=http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/xGPXR565RkE/mqdefault.jpg]

Princess Celesta's eyes went wide, that was a word she had heard before since even Luna's birth. Princess Celesta took a few moments to contemplate what Twilight just said. After she had soaked it in, she closed her eyes and sighed.

"Princess Celestia are you alright." Twilight questioned.

"It seems you have discovered an ancient family secret my once faithful student."

"Princess?"

"There are stories that my mother and father would tell me since even I was a filly, before even Luna was born and they had disappeared, leaving me and Luna the throne. She had been writing a book and telling me of these beings, how they would live, create, build and come together. But also.....turn on each other. They would constantly fight in civil wars for land, power and resources.

But among them was a united group of Humans that fought for freedom from the oppression, tyranny. All they wanted was Justice and wanted equality among each other. With them we're the first of my family and pony kind. My mother was one of those ponies. But knowing their fate, to eventually lose fall to war, the humans planed to leave with the ponies to thrive somewhere safe from all the fighting. The other factions power hungry had invaded before they could, and so the humans stayed. They fought to the death as the ponies sailed from the land, all the ponies could do was watch as they drifted away.

My parents said they gave her the power to summon young warriors that believes in the same ideals as they did. They were known as the elements of liberty. In that memory, the elements of harmony were forged with the tree of harmony, planted with the seeds of friendship from all three of the pony races. After they came by sail to find this land that is."

The main six were shocked in silence at this revelation of an ancient history.

"I am glad you found this spell Twilight, for you have reminded me we do have a major defense for Equestria, other than the elements of harmony. We have the elements of liberty. Warriors to shield the citizens with there hearts and love, to defy to the very end."

The girls were still silent.

"Please Twilight, I need to see this book for myself."

Twilight recomposed herself and responded. "Yes princess."

Canterlot royal archives: "Here it is princess" Spike said pulling out the book.

"Ah the book of summoning, thank you Spike."

Princess Celestia began to flip through the pages when Twilight spoke up.

"Princess Celestia."

"Yes Twilight?"

"Its about the humans."

"What about them Twilight?"

"Remember when I was sent to retrieve my crown from that...other world."

"Of course...and?"

"Well the book seemed to portray the humans features, the same as the intelligent beings Spike and I encountered on the other side of the mere portal."

"Really!?"

"Yes princess!"

"Pardon me partner but what are these -hemans- yawl are talking about look like?"

"Well Applejack, they are described and by my eye witness account, as tall bipedal creatures with little hare covering their body. They can grow over 6 feet tall! Also the book went on to say that they are often at war with each other. From what I've seen in the other world they are vary advanced in technology compared to us! But most of them were so friendly, I just can't wrap my head around why they are so prone to war!?"

"That is rather strange that this race of intelligent life forms exists on another world or possibly another deamination."

"Well how do we know that we can trust these guys hm?" Rainbow Dash cut in.

"It will have to be decided at the battle my little ponies. Princess Celestia had found what she was looking for in the book and was satisfied. As you have seen on your way here I am sure. I have sent Shining Armor and my sister Luna to put the city on lockdown and keep citizens at home."

"But what about the Changelings your majesty?" Rarity asked in concern.

"Our scouts say that they have left the badlands and are on their way here, we expect them to be here tomorrow afternoon.

When they arrive, we will call upon the humans for aid and test their skill in real battle.

I have informed Shining and Luna about this and they agree that it would be a good idea to let them fight the battle with us."

"WHAT?" The girls shout in unison.

"I know it seems unfair to make a warrior of different nationality to fight our battle for us, but we must know the extent of their ability's should we need them in future endeavors. But girls you must understand once we summon them, he or her, there is no sending them back."

"But princess I saw that they have feelings, families and homes. Think of how that would make them feel." Twilight said in concern.

"I know Twilight and I have, we can only hope they understand."

The room was silent for a few moments then Pinkie Pie broke it.

"But...that's so mean to do to somepony."

"Yeah, why can't we use the elements of harmony?"

"Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, Twilight said. The decision is made, don't make it any harder than this has to be."

After another few moments of silence princess Celestia the spoke.

"Now my little ponies it would be best if you all rest, its getting late and you will all need your energy for what's to come."

The girls, not including Twilight and spike, simply bowed and trotted away. But they all head something in mind. Something they were to distracted by the threat of invasion to catch. What is the tree of harmony.

Chapter 3: Changelings vs the guard and young cadet

Well its Friday at least. I didn't get the workout I wanted done in team sports and weights training yesterday. I had found the strength before to over come the depression phases before, and will have to do it again. But the truth is...I'm starting to lose all hope of continuing the family tree as a man in the military. I mite just have to give it up, and for anyone with the heart for a dream, that's harder than achieving it.

I got up at 4:30AM as usual. Then I got dressed in my ACU uniform but instead of my school shirt I wear a tan shirt made by Rothco and went to eat breakfast. After that I brushed my teeth ,clipped my nails and shaved the neck beard off my face to satisfy myself with appearance, and I don't mean I jerked myself off in the mere afterword's. Then I hopped on my computer to watch some -PMVs- and -Mariplier- videos to catch up on my subscriptions. I like the original music that the brony community makes. Like Rainbow Factory, Nightmare Night and others. I also like the more famous bronies that have all of themselves reacting to a video. especially a certain someone that happens to be in the Navy. Black Gryph0n kicks ass!

(Quick visual reference for you to know what exactly what my characters wearing.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Canterlot is on lockdown. Civilians were all packed in their homes with their families. Shining Armor and the royal guards were all around the front of the palace, like a second wall, shoulder to shoulder. The princesses were on their announcement balcony where Twilight gave her speech about friendship, along with the rest of the girls and spike. They were watching, waiting, listening for any sign of the Changelings invasion force. Then the silence was broken by Rainbow Dash.

"Hey Twi, why don't we just go back to that mere portal thing and just bring a human back?"

"Because it would take to long, I doubt that the human would come willingly, and I doubt he or she would believe who we are." Twilight replied with a hint of annoyance.

"Oh yea, right. Rainbow Dash said back with a blushing for asking when the reasons were common sense. But how do we know if we can trust them to take our side, if fight at all?"

"As we said before my little ponies, all we can do is hope for the best and trust in princess Twilight's judgment of them." Princess Celestia said with a warm smile.

Twilight returned the smile with more confidence in their plan.

(Immediate music-lacrimosa) [youtube=http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/bHPYOcgde98/mqdefault.jpg]

"It seems that judgment will reach a verdict soon sister!" Luna said raising her voice and pointing a hoof strait ahead of them.

An unmistakable black mass was approaching fast.

"It is them my little ponies! Shining Armor take your guards and make ready! Twilight me must start the spell now!" Celestia was quick to take charge of the situation.

"Yes princess Celestia!" Twilight replied then started charging her horn the same as Celestia was.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was time to turn my stuff off and make like a baby and head out. My mom was still sleeping on the living room couch. I grabbed my house trash and put it all in one garbage bag. I return to my room to clam my school baggage with all my supplies. Turning my gaze to the wall next to my bed to retrieve my dog tags. There were four of them I had on the chain. The first of them being a silver worn tag with the head of the American eagle stamped into the metal. The second with my last then first name, city and state of birth origin, U.S Army and finally special forces. My grandfather had it specially made for me, way back when. Now the last one  is something really special. Its a real WW2 dog tag worn by my great grandpa Wallace B. Coleman. Below his name are the numbers 36270004, below that is T42-43. RIP grandpa.

I put them around my neck as I go for my necklace that was a gift from my dad. It has a gold painted eagle with a silver cross to company it. I undo the chain and wrap it around my neck and reconnect it. Then tuck them into my ACU jacket. Before I forget, I head over to my closet and grab my Cod ghosts inspired painted wool balaclava, I painted it myself and was proud of the outcome, it looked just like the one on the game's case cover. Except the opening for the eyes was one big hole instead of two holes. I stuff it into my right ACU cargo pocket. Then I applied my patches for the uniform. My red, white and blue flag on my upper right shoulder. On the lower right shoulder, the ancient Spartan saying 'Molon Labe', witch I later learned translates into 'Come and take them'. My come and take it patch with a customized M4 Carbine above the words on my upper left shoulder, going hand and hand with the Spartan saying. One in Greek and one in English, one for ancient warriors and one for the modern warriors. On my lower left shoulder my project honor patch to show my love and support. My JROTC name tab on the left side of my chest on my ACU jacket, my name on the right, SSGT rank in center. Then I put my cover(patrol cap) on. It also my rank centered on it. Lastly I grab my foliage green carbon fiber hard-knuckle gloves and stuff them into my left pocket.

(Top left pair are my colored pair of gloves.)

I walk out of my room turning the light off and quietly walk back to the kitchen to take garbage out through the garage along with the recyclables. I wheeled the recycling bin out to the driveway then go to put the garbage in its bin at the side of the house. Taking the garbage bin in one hand I wheel back the recyclables and grab the with the other hand. I drag the two bins behind me as I now walk to the end of the driveway, I place both bins a few feet away from the mail box. Walking back up and into the garage I push the button to close it, racing back to the entrance I jump the sensor and start heading to my bus stop. It was the winter months so it was cold, so I take my cover off and put my mask on, reapplying my cover I take my hard knuckles and slip'em on to give my hands some cover from the cool air. After that I finish tending to my mask by tucking the bottom of it down into my ACU jackets collar, I then flip up the collar and Velcro it over to cover up further and make sure the mask stays tucked.

On the way, something catches my eye. I look to the grey sky and see the clouds moving in an irregular fashion, worrying it may be a storm I quicken my pace. Hoping my bus comes a little sooner than normal. I remember the time I got drenched in heavy rain and I didn't what to spend the day drying off again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Changelings had landed on one side of the large main street in Canterlot, the royal guards on the other.

Twilight and Celestia were still charging up the spell and they didn't look like they could keep it up much longer.

"Hold on Twi you got it partner!" Applejack was trying to keep her spirits up, but it wasn't looking good.

"Please sister you must not give in! Girls I don't how much longer they can hold their strength!" Luna was getting worried for their wellbeing.

"No with the power of friendship, we can do anything!" Rainbow Dash cheers as she.

"Come on girls let give them a hoof!" Pinkie pie declares while she and the rest of the girls continue to give Twilight and Celestia a hug.

Luna seeing what they are doing joined in on the group hug of friendship.

A rainbow had began to form a circle and then moved to Princesses Twilight and Celestia's horns.

Then firing a rainbow off into the sky and forming a swirling spectrum portal.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sky was really starting to scare me!  The grey clouds were spinning unnaturally fast with a clear opening in the middle. I had made it to my bus stop where the other kids were observing and taking pictures of the suspected storm, I'm starting to worry that it might be a twister! Wait...I think I see a light coming from the opening to. I don't know why but I looked over in my buddy Bowen's house direction and see the same thing happening in the sky over there too. I was debating on leaving to run back home for shelter.Then without warning, a loud boom Eco's through the air! I look back at my strange anomaly and see what I had now confirmed was a light and it was approaching fast!

Instinctively I hit the deck low to the ground off the left side of the road, hopping to avoid it but with no luck. For a moment I could see a rainbow around me, engulfing my person and lifting me off the ground with it to return to the sky. I try grabbing anything to keep me on the ground but again with no luck. So I give a totally not girly scream as I'm abducted by this spectrum of colors. When I reach the source of the hole in the sky, I pass through and greeted with the site of me falling to a different looking ground, panicking I look around desperately for a parachute to magically appear. But I did see that I was incased with a large bird like outline.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the portal began to close, all hope seemed lost. Everypony thought that even with all their effort, they had failed. Then a sound could be heard coming from above. Everypony looked up including the guard and changelings armies below who had been watching in awe of the spectacle. With one last burst of energy, the portal in the sky exploded into a sonic rainboom.

But in its wake, a red, white and blue eagle came down giving its cry as it closes distance with the center of the soon to be battlefield.

Before it made contacted, the large multi colored eagle sifted its body from a diving pose to one that looked like it was about to land on its talon's.

------------------------

Eagle's/my POV

---------------------

I had no idea what happened? One moment I was waiting at my bus stop with a freakish storm over head, now I'm in a huge dust could after slamming feet first into the dirt floor. I don't know what drove me to flip in midair to angle me feet to hit first but I did.

I found myself blinded by dust and scared out of my mind! I don't know why I thought it would work, but I had my cod ghosts inspired mask on, since my face got to cold.

We had some cold fronts were I was at and I love a mask that represents stealth.

When the dusty smoke dissipated, I looked around franticly and saw the impossible!

"Ponies!" I said to myself.

But what freaked me more was the army of guards in front of what I assumed was the royal palace.

----------------------------

Ponies POV

-------------------------

"Sister you two did it!"

"Way to go Twilight!" Pinkie pie cheered.

The two princesses slowly stood up and looked to see what they have summoned.

"I cannot believe my eyes Luna, a real human." Celestia said.

Luna used her magic to bring up a magical image of her sight and then amplified the magical image of her sight on the new life form.

I looked up at a large balcony were I swore I saw the princesses, then I heard voice form behind me.

"My my, what do we have hear?"

I recognized the voice immediately, that double sounding echo from the Changeling queen herself.

"Queen Chrysalis!" I hiss in a low whisper.

I turned back around to face her, and saw her trotting closer to me.

"Well aren't you a interesting one?"

When she came closer, I got a better assessment on her height. She was a little taller than me, I'm 5 foot 6 so not including her horn she was maybe 5 foot 8. Of course being a brony I knew what she looked like.

"I've never seen your kind before?"

She began to circle me while continuing to talk and observe my features. I clench my hands into fists, ready for a fight if she were to lash out at me.

"No doubt that they summoned you here to face me for them."

She points a hole riddled hoof at the large balcony, I turn my head to look when a bright blue ball of light appeared, then left a group of easily recognizable ponies.

"Human!" I see the princesses Celestia and Twilight and they don't look to good.

Luna was speaking for her sister. I'm guessing because of her condition.

"Come with us please, we require your aid!"

"Yeah she's a big bully!" I heard Pinkie pie and my heart began to race at the site of the main six.

"What the hell!" I shout backing up only to bump into Chrysalis.

"Now now princes Luna, can't you see this poor being hasn't a clue what is happening?" Queen Chrysalis says rapping her right hoof around my neck.

Hey get off of me! I shout pushing her hoof away. "What's going here, were am I!"

"Human please calm yourself!" Luna calls to me.

"Not until Someone explains what the fuck is happening and why I'm here!"

"Then allow me creature! Chrysalis speaks up. I am queen Chrysalis, ruler of the Changelings! And I am here to clam Canterlot.

Turning my attention to Chrysalis, I listen to her plots.

My dear Changelings require love to be strong, and the only way to get it is by harvesting it from those who have it. Ponies being full of love they are the best and perfect source to obtain it! That being said I am here just for that reason, and once me and my changelings are done here we will take all of Equestria!

I knew she was going to say something like that, but I still remained silent.

Now that you know my intentions, I must ask what you are going to do now. You could trot away and not get involved, or you can stay and fight and die with the my opposition!

Hearing her threaten my and the ponies lives really got me pumped up for a fight. Turning my head my to see the girls faces glaring at Chrysalis with anger and Fluttershy's with fear. Angering me further.

Then again, you do have another option.

Bringing my gaze back to Chrysalis, I cocked my eyebrow in confusion.

You can join me and aid my quest of domination, and once we are done you will be spared a place in the hives and trot free anywhere you will feel be safe and happy. So what it going to be creature!?" Chrysalis challenges.

Looking back at the main six and princesses, I can see that they are worried about what I might say. I look down in deep thought, it wasn't my fight. I don't know how they managed to get me hear, I'm in another dimension right now. A war is about to go down with me in the middle of it and I'm being forced into it! So I what's a guy to fucking do in this scenario! I look up and begin scanning my surroundings, I left towards the Changeling queen and her army, smug grins adorning their insect like faces. I look right towards the main six, princesses and their royal guard, stoic and ready for battle. Then I look forward, I notice something in a window directly ahead of me. I lean slightly forward and narrow my eyes, after I few moments of observing, I realize it was a group of ponies. A family from the looks of them, A baby foal held close by a mother an older looking colt with a baseball bat and at his side a grown stallion, whom held a kitchen knife. Both boys of the family with bitten lips, fearful of the fighting but ready to defend their mother, their wife, their baby sister.

Something clicked within me, a feeling of remembrance. I remembered, I remembered why, I remembered why I chose a warriors life! I remember 9/11, I remember all those news reports of people dying in bombings, I remember all those hours in those history classes learning about the atrocities committed by evil men though out the ages! I remember the holocaust, and numerous other mass killings of people for having differences in religion, sexuality, race and other petty reasons! I remembered why I chose the special operations community within the military. To protect and serve the innocent, to fight and if I must, die defending them from any and all treats! I live to kill people and in this case, ponies like chrysalis! With my mind made up and my head clear, I snap to the position of attention and raise my right hand.

"I am a US Army JROTC cadet.

I will always conduced myself to bring credit to my family, country, school and the corps of cadets.

I am loyal and patriotic.

I am the future of the United States of America.

I do not lie, cheat or steal and will always be accountable for my actions and deeds.

I will always practice good citizenship and patriotism.

I will work hard to improve my mind and strengthen my body.

I will seek the mantle of leadership and stand prepared to uphold the constitution and the American way of life.

May god grant me the strength to always live by this creed!"

"What?" she asks raising her dark black eyebrow.

I forward march until I stand between Queen Chrysalis and the girls then halt when I do. I then right face towards them, I take two steps forward then halt again. I finish with an about face, with my back to the girls I stand at ease.

"You see I come from a place called the United States America, and we as a country stand for freedom from tyranny. Along with standing for liberty and justice for all, I refuse!"

Queen Chrysalis grunts in anger with my answer.

"Then you will die with them!"

The enraged Changeling queen rears on her hind legs before charging me. "Human watch out!" Twilight shouts as Chrysalis closes the short distance between us. Taking a fighting stance I ready myself for whatever blow she was about to deal to me. Mere moments from ramming into me, a wall of blue energy blocks our contact with each other. Taken back I blink in surprise, unsure of what's happening.

"Human quickly, come with us!"

I turn around to see princess Luna's horn glowing. I realize that she was the one who blocked her attack.

"Thanks for the assist, now come on lets pull back!" I shout turning around to run back to the guards forces.

The main six retreat with princess Celestia while princess Luna slowly steps back still holding the magical barrier. I rush up to her and give her a tap on the back. "Come on forget about that just get behind your troops!" She listens as the barrier disperses and retreats with me.

We bee line it back to the golden army, following behind the others.

"Wait for them to get pass the formation boys, hold the line!"

The sea of golden knight warriors opens a path in the massive formation for us to swiftly pass through. Once we made our way through them they close the pathway and stand ready to defend. With us now safely behind friendly lines, I need a weapon.

"Ok quick, I need something to fight with!"

"Are you not armed!?" Celestia questions.

"No I wasn't in a position where I need a weapon until now, Just set me up!"

"Oh very well!"

As Luna's horn begins glowing, blue magic lights appear under my ACU jacket, lifting the lower half up I see the lights on my combat belt. When her horn stopped I saw that in the orbs of light had been replaced with blade's from...my...collection? They were my -Riddick ulaks- replicas from the movie with -necromongers-.

My Frost Cutlery 9 1/2 inch survival knife with a black handle with blue outlining and another Frost Cutlery 11 1/2 inch survival knife. I don't know why they happen to by my house defense weapons, but hey I'm not complaining!

(No image for 9 1/2 Frost Cutlery knife but found an exact image for the 11 1/2 one)

"Aright thanks, hey do me a favor and take my bag for me!" I ask unclipping and removing my Marpat Woodland back pack. Rarity takes it with her magic and observes its features.

"Well at lest I'm familiar with these!" I say looking down at my small arsenal.

"Attack my Changelings!" Chrysalis's voice booms.

"Charge!" Shining Armor shouts to his fellow guard.

Then both armies charge each other on hoof and by wing in a massive clash of bodies!

"You better find cover girls!"

"Now hold on there partner!" Applejack tries to stop me but was cut off.

Five Changelings had flown past the fighting and came for the princesses. They came at me first. I didn't have enough time to grab any of the blades from their sheaths. So on instinct, I used my hands. One tries to ram me with their horn while flying. I counter by moving to the left where the girls were, and swinging a punch down on his head with my left arm, my fist covered by the hard knuckles sending it sparling across the ground. The other four were standing in front of me drawing closer trying to get me to back up.

Instead I pushed forward.

Blocking a hoof punch with my right arm, I -Knife hand neck chop- my currant attacker with my left hand, stunning it momentarily.

Moving to my next target, I spin in a full 360 degree and kick the thing in the head. With two more them coming at me by wing, I jump up and do a double spread leg kick out. Sending them flying back wards.

After falling on my ass from that last stunt I pulled. I pull the ulacks from my belt loops and take a fighting stance.

"Unless you ladies wanna see some nasty stuff I suggest you get somewhere safe!" I shout hoping that they listen. They did thankfully, Luna's horn began to glow again and within seconds they teleported away. Leaving me to deal with the Changelings without any worries of their safety.

"Now who want's some!" I shout at my opponents. This time they all charge at the same time.

I do another 360 spin but this time I do a hooking motion when I swing my right ulack at the Changelings throat. continuing my spin motion, I stab down with the left ulack into the back of the next Changelings head, then kicking out with my left leg at its buddy behind it.

As the next two press the attack, so do I. Giving a couple more quick swings at the heads of the incoming treats, killing them both and leaving one left. This one was fearful unlike the rest. I take a defensive stance waiting for it to make a move. But the poor basterd was cut down by a Pegasus guard that had come to add me.

"Come Human we must defend the city!" He says and fly's back to join the fight.

Looking back on my work, I felt a little sickened at what I had done. But what they were doing was wrong in every way! I couldn't just let them harm the girls or anypony for that matter! No they were savages, they get no mercy from me! Brining my attention to the still raging skirmish. Pushing my mental war inside aside, I say to myself..."I can't believe I'm going in there!"

But this is what I wanted. To fight to protect the innocent from evil, to save lives by taking them. It wouldn't be any deferent had I been a soldier for my country.  Taking a couple deep breaths, I work up the nerve and charge into the heated battle.

My objective was to ultimately kill queen Chrysalis. But the first priority was to aid any guard I could. So without second thought, I move to the nearest pony and slash right across his opponents face. Not Waiting for a word of thank you, I continue on. Swinging and slashing at anything not in gold armor, aiming for the heads and throats or anywhere else I could get at, any survivors and body shot victims being finished off by the royal guards. I was going wild with my assault. My war cry mixed with the ponies I'm fighting along side with, stashing wildly at the Changeling invaders, trying to lower number of guard pony casualties. But for every six Changelings killed, we lost two. Little more than half the guard remained as the Changelings numbers dwindled. We were obviously winning, but can it really feel like victory when you lose that many lives?

The last of the Changelings grouped in a single unit and tried to fend off the guards attacks but to no avail. While they finished them up I look around and find that Shining Armor and a squad of other guard ponies are engaging Chrysalis in close quarters combat with swords and magic. They look like they were having a tough time even with the five of them. Before I could move to assist, Chrysalis's horn glowed a bright green and with a burst of energy she made a magical ballast that sent them flying in all directions!

"Aw hell naw, that's bull shit!" I must of looked unnerved, because when she heard me call out, she looked right at me. And when she saw me she smiled with that smug little grin.

"You will fall creature!" She screams while starting to run at me.

Still worried about her abilities with magic,  I don't charge back but instead stand my ground. As she closes the distance between us I can see that she intends on ramming me with her horn. So I dodged to the left by rolling out of the way.

"Ha mist me Bitch!" I taunt her failed attempt to impale me.

"Silence worm! She screams once more as she takes to the air. I will destroy you!" Chrysalis then moves for a dive bomb attack.

I try to jump out of the way, but she was to fast. Thankfully not impaling me, but instead nocking the air out of me and making me lose grip of my blades with her right shoulder impacting my gut. "Aw...fuck!" I groan after being nocked on my ass.

"Didn't miss that time peasant!" She returns with her own taunt.

"Oh you want to get close and personal! I say getting up and regaining composure. Come get this dick!" I taunt back giving my manhood a tug.

She then snarls at me as she returns to the ground, dragging her hoof along the ground signaling another charge. I return the gesture by doing the same with my right foot, the traction of my tan combat boots dragging some gravel with it. Then out of nowhere Shining comes charging back and slamming into queen Chrysalis. "Surprise!" He shouts as he does so. "Dude wait for me!" I call to him as a sprint to help him out. As I draw near I take our fight to the ground, dropping low I take queen Chrysalis in a choke hold, Shining using his own body weight to help pin'er lower body down, as I'm trying to choke her out. But she was a strong bitch. Chrysalis threw Shining off of herself and shot out a bolt of magic, hitting his back left hoof, immobilizing him.

"Ahhh" He cry's out in pain.

Then she whipped her head back and head-butted me, causing me to lose a firm grip at the pain. Chrysalis then rolled over then pined me with her hooves. "Die now with your efforts in vain!" Then she brought them both up and was about to bring them back down to smash my head in, when another guard pony slammed into her, sending her off of me. "Leave them alone!" I hear him shout. Rolling over to check on Shining Armor, I Spot him still on the ground, trying to stand up. Only to fall over having a burnt leg buckle under him. I roll back over to see the guard still on top of her, trying to stab into her neck with a sword. But what happened next was to much. Queen Chrysalis's horn lit up and in a split-second a magic beam came and disintegrated him, leaving only his ash's and armor to crumble down upon her. The only other noise I head was a scream of pain as he died. I was filled with sorrow at his sacrifice. Another living being had just given their life for me.

"Ha Ha Ha you weakling!" Chrysalis insults the dead guard's ash's and gets up.

The sadness was quickly replaced by rage at her remark

I shot up off the ground and started beating on her! I grab around the back of her neck with my left arm, I use my right fist's hand knuckles to punch her mouth a few hard times, then wrapping my right arm around her neck I knee her three times in the stomach. I then let go and sweep her forelegs out from under her, she falls to her left side and I go to kick her in the gut. But she catches it with her fore-hooves. dragging me to the ground with her. I quickly counter by kicking her in the muzzle with me left foot. Trying to keep her down I roll over and elbow her with my left arm in the chest. She retaliates after two strikes, by reaching her left hoof over and punching me in the face a few times.

Retreating from my currant position I jump up of the ground only to be rammed by Chrysalis's shoulder. Not backing off, I knee her chest again and give a hard punch to her muzzle with my left fist. Backing her of from attacking or so I thought. She did back up, but not to stop attacking. In one swift motion she used her wings to propel herself backwards.

"Try this on for size!" She exclaims.

I see her horn light up again with the green aura of light.

"Oh shit!" Instinctively I use my arms to protect my face. Waiting for to blow to come, I brace for the worst. But I felt nothing hit when I heard the sound of the magic bolt? I wait and wait, but still nothing? Moving my arms apart, I look down at my stomach only to see a trail of black smoke. There wasn't even a burn mark, or damage to my clothing? Looking up a Chrysalis, I see her disbelief.

"What...impossible!?"

I smirk at my new found resistance to magic. What made her so strong was completely useless against me!

"Looks like I'm invulnerable to magic!" I boast boldly.

"This can't be...no...I don't need magic to kill you! Besides what you be without ponies like me creature!?" She challenges.

"I'm a soldier in war, civilian in peace." I challenge back in a dark tone of voice.

Undoing the Velcro strap that held my black ops knife in place, I unsheathe the blade and quickly close the distance of mere feet between us. Cocking my right arm back, I swing the blade at her horn as she tries to back away. Unfortunately for her, she failed do evade me. Cutting at the bass of her wicked horn It comes clean off. Queen Chrysalis screams in agonizing pain as her horn falls to the ground.

Spinning back around in a full 360 after my first blow, I slash her chest, green blood starting to spurt out. Then finally dropping to one knee, I take Chrysalis's severed horn by the bottom and give her a few rapid punches on her new chest wound, with the horn in my left hand and knife in my right. I spin her around by the neck with my wrists while she is reeling back on her hind legs, then kneeing her hard in the back adding to her pain.

I kick her hind legs out from under her, and with Chrysalis on her back, I bury my knife in the right part of her chest. With one final blow I let out a final battle cry, I take the upside-down horn and plunge it into queen Chrysalis's throat. Then dragging it all the way across, slitting it ear-to-ear. I toss her aside and stand up from my kneeling position. Looking down at Chrysalis's dead bleeding body, I feel content that she is no longer a threat to any innocent pony. I look to her severed horn in my left hand, I ponder what I should do with it, I look up and gaze across the aftermath of the battlefield. Dead bodies from both sides litter the street. I look back down at the black jagged horn and decide on keeping it. It will serve as a memento of this day, I slide it into my right cargo pocket. Still panting from my fight with her I look up once more and find that everypony that was just...staring at me. Awe in their face's. I then look to see Shining Armor still on the ground with his wounded left back hoof. Ignoring the looks I was getting, I walk up to Shining and carefully pick him up in a fireman carry, and made sure I didn't bump his leg.

"Thank you human."

"No problem brother, let's get that leg patched up." I say, now on my walking back to the palace.

Looking at the aftermath, I saw the dead bodies of Changelings and guard ponies. The guard ponies bodies were few compared to the Changelings at least. Looking at the guard ponies that passed me by on the way back to the palace, I saw that they were battle scarred with cuts and their golden armor dirty and banged up. Sides of buildings were broken up and badly damaged.

Then I saw something that just broke my heart. A beat up guard pony with his helmet off was crying over a fallen brother in arms. I wanted to stop to consul him over his loss, but Shining needed me to get him back to the palace for a medic.

Pushing on with the tears of empathy coming to my eyes, I reach the palace gates after going though the sea of dead bodies and enter.

Passing trough the royal gardens and going through the main doors, I see the princesses and main six coming towards us.

"Big brother!" Twilight calls.

"Captain!" Celestia chimes in.

"What happened to you big brother!"

"Don't worry Twily, Its just a flesh wound."

"Thank you human for helping him!" Luna says.

"No problem." I reply as I set him down to lean his back against the wall.

Me now leaning against the wall to, I remove my cover and ghost mask and stuff them into my left cargo pocket. Reveling my white skin with a little bit of tan to it and short dirty blond hair.

"Woe, so that's what you look like!" I look to my right and see spike close to my side.

"Sup?" I ask trying to be friendly.

"Uh..Nothing much I guess."

"Yeah, well me nether now." I reply with a small chuckle

Two ponies, both male wearing armor with red crosses came up and look me and Shining over. Me having cloths that conceal my whole body except for my head, the doctor could not get a clear look at my body's condition. I tell him that I'm fine and that he should go help the guys out in the street with their wounds. He gives a simple nod and trots off. The images of the dead still burning in my head, I sit there silently slumped over. I remove both my hard knuckle gloves and slip them into my left upper pocket.

Then a shiver started to run through my body. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Remembering my diabetes I begin to shake from low blood sugar and take deep breaths.

"Human are you alright!" Celestia asks worried.

I shake my head no. Lifting up my ACU jacket and untucking the front of my tan t-shirt. I unhook my insulin pump's wire from my body. Then I take the pump itself out of my pocket and place it on the floor.

"Won't...be...needing that anymore." I say between breaths.

"Human what is that, what is happening to you!?"

"Looks like...this is...how it ends." I say solemnly.

"What!?"

"I'm...dying...from a fatal disease."

"No please, let me try a healing spell, I'm sure I can..."

"No...your magic...wont work on me. Don't ask why...I don't know." I cut celestia off.

"Please their must be something we can do!?" Luna pleads.

"Here...take these." I say, taking my tags off and presenting them to her. She levitates with her magic them from my open hand closer to herself.

"A little something for you all to remember me by."

"But human...after all of that, you can't die like this!" Shining Armor protests.

I look him in the eye and give him a firm shake on his shoulder.

"So long...brother in arms.

Knowing what's to come, I start to pull out my wire that was in my body to allows the pump to deliver the insulin. It stung like always, I throw it off to the side not caring were it landed. With nothing left to do, I sing a part of my favorite song for what was sure to be my last moments in life.

Weeee are the ones who will never be broken

with our final breath..we'll fight to the death

we are soldiers..we are soldiers

woooooohooohooooooooooo, wooohoooooooohooooooooooooo,

we...are...soldiers."

I see the darkness come as I close my eyes and then... the feeling of bliss. I had felt it before, after three long days of intense pain in my body, when I went to the clinic

"No, no please human, don't go!" Luna pleads again.

The girl's and spike hang their heads low with tears starting to form in their eyes, never really having watched a living being die, as did Shining and the princesses. But when Celestia opened her eyes to gaze upon the soul passing before her, she saw a glowing from the corner. Turning her head, Celestia sees something unbelievable. A strange image of Rainbow Dash's cutie mark was forming in front of her. Rainbow Dash nor anypony else not noticing with their eyes shut and head hung. Princess Celestia was the first to raise their awareness of it.

"Rainbow Dash, something is happening before you!"

All eyes now opened and looking where Celestia had directed, they see what is happening.

"What the hey!" Rainbow Dash exclaims.

As she does so, her cutie mark's glowing image shoots out a beam of energy towards the human. Everypony awestruck watches in astonishment as a beam of light forms a red aura sphere around the humans body. In moments another light forms within the sphere, this one white. Finally, one last light appears on top of the human's right hand. It was blue, one forming into an all two familiar cutie mark shape. After what seamed like forever, the magic red beam bearing the image of Rainbow Dash's cutie mark had vanished, as did the other lights.

In place of the blue light on the human's hand, was an image, it was none other Rainbow Dash's cutie mark.

"What happened!" Twilight questioned.

"That was so cool!" Spike added along with the girls saying.

"I don't know darling!"

"What in tarnation!"

"I'm so nervouscited!"

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!" Rainbow dash repeated franticly. While Fluttershy was shivering in fear on the floor.

"What in Equestria was that!" Shining asked out loud.

"I do not know captain!" Luna answered.

Celestia quickly trotted up to the unconscious human. Noticing his shivering had ceased, his breathing steadied. "Luna come look!" Celestia hurried her sister. Luna trots up to her older sister's side.

"Has he...obtained Rainbow Dash's cutie mark?" Luna asked.

"It would seem so Luna, and whatever has just occurred with our friend Rainbow Dash, has stabilized his condition. Guards!" Celestia calls to her sentries.

An Earth pony and unicorn that had been present, rush to their monarch and stand at attention.

"Take the human to one of the guest rooms and leave him to rest, when you are done come to the main road of Canterlot!"

"Yes princess Celestia!" They reply in unison as they scoop up the humans body and carry him off on their backs.

Celestia then turns to address the girls. Who were in a group huddle talking up a storm over what had happened.

"My little ponies." Celestia began. Before she could continue, each of the girls asked the sun goddess if she knew what happened.

"It may have to do with the elements of harmony coming into contact with his element of liberty. But we will discuss this later. It would be best if you all stay here at the palace."

"But princess, we want to see what has happened out in the city!"

"Princess Twilight and friends, remember when the human warrior said...bloodshed?"

"Y-yes?" Twilight replied with worry.

"Twily." Shining Armor cut in.

Everypony turned to look at the captain of the guard still laying his back against the wall.

"Please just listen to her, what happened out there is something I never want you to have to see. Please just stay here."

Twilight and Spike along her friends exchange glances starting to get the picture nod and trot away with out word.

"Thank you captain, You should rest, after the doctor heals your leg."

"Yes your majesty ."

Celestia then turns back to her sister Luna.

"Come Luna, we must oversee the clean up. We should also look for the humans weapons, I noticed he did not have those large silver blades with him."

"Yes sister." Luna replies.

Both royal sisters turn to leave. Princess Celestia stops once to look back and whisper..."Please sleep soundly tonight my little ponies.

Chapter 4: The Eagle

A day had past, and the battle left the guards busy with cleaning up the bodies before anypony set hoof outside.

Princess Celestia had some difficulty trying to calm the girls minds at the thought of them knowing that dead flooded the street. She knew that they weren't going sleep so easy last night, the invasion alone would be enough to keep a tired soul awake and wondering what could of been. Celestia had scavenged the battlefield for the human's weapons. She had been observing the once green blood drenched blades, she had cleaned them with her magic, not wanting have to see it anymore. Luna was in her sisters room as well, inspecting the cadets dog tags and was intrigued with each oval shaped metals design.

"What do think some of these mean Tia?"

"I do not know Lulu, but these weapons the human wielded are so simple, yet he had managed to slay so many with them!"

Celestia had watched the battle with Luna from her palace balcony, she had made the girls wait in the royal dinning area, and told them she would come get them when it was over. They both know full well of what the young cadet was capable of.

"Quite skillful was he not?"

"Quite sister."

"I suspect he will not be pleased about missing his blades."

"I will return them when he awakens. I have also searched what appears to be his baggage, and have found what appears to be...school supplies?"

"Tia did you not say that the humans can grow as tall if not taller than us?"

"I did indeed Lulu."

"I fear that the warrior you and Twilight have summoned is but a child."

"As do I sister, and I think we have a name to our little champion."

"How so Tia, we had not asked him when we first met."

"We will know soon enough."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The girls and had slept a few rooms away from the human. They had awoken at early sunrise, and went to check on him. It had been awhile, maybe a half-hour. The girls had been chatting quietly with each other to pass the time, most of it was about the human in the bed. About how he looked, how he was the only one of his kind they have ever seen.

"It looks so peaceful when it sleeps." Fluttershy stated.

"Well judging from the sound of ITS voice from yesterday, I'd say ITS a he." Twilight added in a hushed voice.

"Well he does have an odd fashion of clothing darling."

"That's what yer concerned bout right now rarity?"

"You think we should take its knives away?" Rainbow Dash asked in concern for every ponies safety.

"That's not nice to take someponies things without asking Dashie!"

"Well sorry if I don't like it when there's a guy we barley know carrying a weapons to kill!"

"Well he fought that big bully Chrysalis with the guards!"

Pinkie's and Rainbow's little outburst made the human turn in his sleep.

"Pinkie pie and Rainbow Dash be quite, you don't want to make him angry! Um if you don't mind." Fluttershy said in her hushed soft voice.

"Sorry!" They say and wince in unison after realizing they had been shouting.

"Wait girls, I think he is waking up!" Twilight points at the human's face.

----------------------------------------------------------

I had the same thing happen when I slept, nothing. I was awoken by sudden loud noises that I swore were voices. I never really have any dreams, but when I do, there ether completely random, or about the human mating  on it and see how many units of insulin I had.But I couldn't find the damn thing.

"Oh shit did I forget to put it back on after my shower!" I thought out loud as I sprog up to a sitting position.

Because if it wasn't on at all times other when I exercise or when in water, I could get really high blood sugar.

When I had given up on my frantic search of my pockets, I noticed I had two of my blades on by person.

Then the events of yesterday started to slowly come back to me.

Seeing the back of my right hand, I see the one and only Rainbow Dash cutie mark insignia imprinted on it.

"What the fffff....

Looking ahead, I saw the main six from the greatest show ever! At first site of them standing there, I was stunned. A few more moments of looking awkwardly wide eyed at each other I was first to speak up.

......Did I die and go to heaven, because unless my eyes deceive me, I'm surrounded by angels."

The girls blush and giggle with sheepish grins and folded ears at my remark.

"Oh such a charmer darling."

Observing my surroundings, I see I'm in what looks to be like one of those big guest rooms I've seen from seeing the show.

"I'm guessing you girls wouldn't have seen my insulin pump would you?"

"Yer what now partner?"

"That thing I removed from my body before I..."

My eyes went wide again remembering what should have happened.

"Before you should have died?" Twilight questioned.

"Yeah...that."

"Oh you poor thing!" Fluttershy quickly hovered up to me in, sympathy in her eyes.

"How am I still alive?"

"It mite have something to do with Rainbow Dash's and your element coming together?" Twilight stated.

"My element!?"

"Wait you do have an element...right."

"Well...not that I'm aware of."

"Maybe princess Celestia can answer that for you when she comes to check up un you."

Just as she mentioned her name guess who had just dropped by. On queue princess Celestia had walked through the door and was happy to see me awake.

"Ah human, back from the dead are we!" Celestia remarks. That actually got a laugh out of me at how literal her statement was true.

"Ha ha, oh you have know idea how close you are to the truth." I reply with humor. At my reply her smile turned to a frown.

"Oh my, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"Hey no worry's, its not the first time I've nearly died anyways."

This got me a few stares in concern from everypony in the room.

"Exactly how many times have you nearly died?" Twilight questioned not sure of how to feel.

"Well there was when I was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and then there's now." I reply.

"What exactly does your...condition effect." Celestia questions.

Thinking about how to reply after few moments, I come up with an answer.

"Type 1 diabetes is a autoimmune disease. It means that a function in your pancreas, which is an organ in the body, has failed and must be controlled manually. My insulin pump was that little device I removed from my back left pocket, the little bump that was on my lower left stomach was what allowed the insulin into my body from the pump and through the tube, its what keeps me alive and allows me to eat. Insulin also breaks down sugar so that's a downer when it come to the consumption of sweets. Basically a vital part of my body has failed and the basic needs to live can now kill me without that little piece of technology. It also took my self-esteem for a while, dream job, physical stature, ability to properly heal and endurance during long periods of physical activity."

The room was silent except for the sniffs and tears growing in the girls eyes.

"Aww don't cry girls." I didn't want to darken their day after what happened when I was last conscious.

"But that's such a horrible way to have to live!" Twilight starts.

"I don't think I could bare to live with a condition that could of kept me from joining the Wonderbolts!"

"No cupcakes!"

"Oh darling that terrible!"

"I don't think I could manage ma farm without ma physical form or endurance partner!"

"You poor Child!" Celestia finishes their condolences.

The girls froze at the mention of my age status.

"Wait what?" The main six were even more wide eyed at me now.

"Well yeah I'm a kid, I'm sixteen, why how old are you girls?"

"Roughly around the same age!" They shout in unison.

"Really! That's something, how about you princess?" I ask.

"Six thousand years."

"And your still looking good to!"

I had now gotten Celestia to give a slight blush and giggle at my compliments.

"Oh a mares stallion (ladies man) hm?" Celestia teases.

"Well yawl are pretty cute, not flirting just saying." I reply with a smile.

The girls giggled some more and Celestia levitated my bag into site.

"I believe this belongs to you."

"Oh thanks, forgot all about this thing."

I take my bag from her magical grasp and look inside only to find school supplies.

"Well I won't have much use for these anymore."

I also find my black shades in the inside of the bottom compartment.So I put them on the front of my fore-head for later use.

"Pardon me darling but why are your cloths patterned with squares?" Rarity Questions.

"Its camouflage." I reply simply.

"Camouflage! Doesn't look like it would blend well." Rainbow Dash protested.

"Your right, I don't know who's the genius whom came up with It, but its what the Army uses."

"Like where?"

"Everywhere, unless their special ops."

"Ok I can see that being true, what about those symbols on you uniform mean?"

"The top patch on my right shoulder is the flag of my nation, flipped backwards for being mobile I think. The second one stands for my rank, Staff Sargent. The one on the upper right to it is my last name, so if someone doesn't know me or can't remember my name, there it is. The one strait across to the left of my last name is the Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps acronym.  Then the last one on my left shoulder would be the unit I served in. But I'm not enlisted so I went with one that said support the troops!"

"Wow you just made that uniform seem 20% cooler!"

I chuckle a little at her complement and trade mark quote. That I'm sure she hasn't even said sense season 1.

"Thanks cutie." I reply flashing her a smile.

Her ears fold again and the blush returns to her face, while the girls giggle yet again at my comments. Then Celestia spoke up.

"Well then, let us continue this conversation to breakfast in the royal dinning hall. I'm sure you are hungering after such a long rest."

"How long was I out?"

"You drifted into your deep slumber early morning yester day, It is early morning the next day now."

"Well before that I need my insulin pump, do you have it? Its a amazing I've survived this long without it."

"Do you mean this small rectangle, with a see through hollow string coming from its lower left side?"

Celestia levitates my pump out of a side compartment from my bag and floats it to me.

"Wow, how did I not see that! Yeah thanks."

I look at the top right of the screen to find it has a full battery. "Huh?"  Then I look over to the top left of the screen to see the reservoir is completely empty. "Crap!"

"What's wrong!" Fluttershy asks nervously.

"Pumps empty!"

"You may not need it anymore human."

"What?"

"When you had lost consciousness after the battle, our friend Rainbow Dash had a strange occurrence happen."

"What do you mean?"

"Some how she had a field of magical energy only seen when the elements of harmony are being used, surround your body and you began to glow. This lasted only a few moments and once it had stopped, your breathing had steadied and shivering ceased. Giving what you told us about your little condition, I have reason to believe that you may have been cured by some unknown power by the element of loyalty."

My heart stopped at the word -cured-.

"What?" The disbelief clear  in my face.

"It is the only logical conclusion I can make, given what you have told us." Celestia says with a warm motherly smile.

My mind raced with thoughts. Cured of the vary thing that took every thing I have strived for!

To be a soldier! A U.S Navy SEAL or Ranger! I can get back into fit shape without worry of low blood sugar killing me in the process! Or have the insulin's weight gain side effect burden me along with it! My normal life restored because of no disability hindering me! But then I remembered were I was, and that there is probably no way to return home. But were I was right now, I was still happy, I'll get over it eventually.

"Human are you alright?" Celestia asks worried.

I had been so deep in thought I drowned out my surroundings . Coming back to my sense's, I slowly turned my head toward Rainbow Dash who had been also eyeing me with worry.

"Hey guy, you alright?"

I slowly walk over to her, not breaking eye contact. There I was, looking my favorite pony in her big cute eyes, Rainbow Dash, the pony who gave me everything back! Her height was up to my lower chest, maybe 4,6 to 8. same as the rest of the girls. When close enough so that I'm standing right over her. I slowly drop to my knees, feeling the waterworks coming to my eyes, I pull her into a tight embrace and bury my head into her left shoulder.

"T-thank you, thank you! Words...cannot...describe what you have done for me!"

My outburst of tears probably caught them and her off guard. But I'm sure they understood my happiness with the news!

"You've given everything I lost...physically...and mentally...I sorry to act like this...I'm just...."

She returned the hug after, quieting me while I tried to make complete sentences, she started to comfort me.

"Hey its fine, I understand." She coos softly in my right ear.

Then everypony else joined in and embraced me in a group hug. Even the princess wrapped her large wings around us.

"There there, your just a big teady-bear aren't you." Fluttershy whispers in my left ear.

I chuckle at her motherly tone. "You really know how to make a guy feel like he's four again."

Then it was my turn to blush. Rainbow Dash gave me a little nuzzle on the cheek. I sheepishly smile and wipe my eyes to clear them of tears.

"Come on Rolon, lets get you something to eat."

"Like I said its my last name, my first name is Gage, but you can call me my old nickname Eagle if you want."

"Well then Eagle, My name is Twilight Sparkle."

"I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest and most awesome flier in all of Equestria!"

"I'm Applejack partner."

"I'm Rarity, A pleasure to meet your acquaintance darling."

"I'm Fluttershy."

"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie!"

"Nice to meet you all ladies!" I sniff out once more.

"Vary well then, Eagle. Celestia spoke up after we had exchanged greetings and names. "Come then we will speak more along the way."

I zip my Marpat Woodland bag shut and put it on, clicking the clips together and walk past the girls to grab and hold the door open for them. "Ladies first!" I say with a smile, gesturing for them to exit before me. "Why, thank you kind sir!" Rarity says as she exits first. When they all leave I follow close behind them, shutting the door silently. A big smile of my own now adorning my face.

Chapter 5: New Friends

We were walking through the halls, on the way to the royal dinning area. Well I was limping a little from yesterday.

We had been getting to know each other, well they actually had at least been getting to know me. Being a brony I knew them all pretty well.

"So darling about that camouflage pattern your warring?"

"What about it?"

"Where did your military get the idea for it to be in small squares?"

"To be honest I don't know, but what I do know is that the desert, snow and urban digital patterns blend really well with their specified environments."

"That is quite interesting Eagle, I'm sure they are quite the site to see." Celestia reply's.

"If I had internet I'd show you all kinds of camouflages."

That being said I reached into my right pocket and pulled out my -HTC One- phone, and brought up the main screen to see that the battery was blinking. Meaning it was fully charged and still charging, also I saw that I had internet connection.

"Holy chit motha focker I has da interwebs what da fock!" I say surprised in my -Shi Chen- accent.

The girls exchanged confused looks. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were trying to hold in their laughter, but it was clear they liked the fake accent.

"What was that?" Twilight asks with a weirded out expression.

"Oh des ma Shi Chen accent you knoooow.

"(giggles)Eagle stop." Rainbow pleads.

"ooooh you know you rike it ma silly rittle brue pony."

I return to checking out my phone, and to my luck I had actually been connected to the internet. I even had a full signal.

"Well at least I won't lose this source of entertainment." I say shoving the device back into my right pocket.

"Well, how about it then darling!?"

"I'll show you a bit later,  we're about to eat anyway."

"Oh, very well!"

We arrive at the royal dinning area to find Luna, Shinning Armor and Spike already there.

Shining's back left hoof looked better, but not fully healed. Spike was the first to spot us.

"Well well, look who's awake!"

"Well if it isn't my human brother in arms!" Shining calls to me.

"Hey buddy good to see ya!" I reply.

"Ah human you have awoken!" Luna greets me while approaching.

"Lulu his name is Eagle silly."

"Tia not in front of him and the girls!" Luna wines in embarrassment.

"Oh so you have pet names to huh? I'm gonna have to use them now! I say chantingly. So Tia and Lulu can I get hug!" I ask spreading my arms wide.

They give a giggle and awkward stare in return.

"What?" They question in unison.

"Oh come on just one!"

"But why?" Celestia asks confused.

"Because I want to make a good first...well...second impression on everypony so why not?"

Luna and Celestia exchange glances quickly and smile warmly.

"Very well then Eagle, we except your gift of friendship!"

Luna had moved to about a foot away, same as Celestia. So I quickly wrap arms around their necks and pull them into a tight hug.

Then I let go after 5 seconds.

"Well I'm hungry, lets get eating!" I say setting my Army digital camo duffle bag down next too my desired chair.

"That was...strait forward. "Luna comments. Oh and Eagle, I believe these are yours."

Luna levitates my dog tags out of nowhere. But I was in the MLP world so I just said fuck logic.

"Thanks." I reply taking them back and placing them back around my neck.

"I don't believe we had asked you what your preference of foods are?" Luna asks.

Oh great, I was dreading that question. I wasn't going to lie to them, seeing how Applejack could likely see through any tale I could spin. I decided on trying to ease the knowledge of my eating habits.

"Well, I'm an omnivore, do you know what that is?"

"I do not."

"It means I eat both plaints and meat."

"Oh...I see, then it is good we have a griffon chef in the kitchen, we can have him whip something up to satisfy your tastes."

"What meats do you exactly eat Eagle?" Shining Armor questioned.

"As a race we eat pig, cow, fish, snake, gator, deer, anything we're curious about."

"Even ponies!" Twilight blurts out loud.

"Well...fuck Yes BUT! I say razing a finger, everypony was eyeing me worryingly. like I could go crazy at a drop of a dime if I didn't eat so meat soon. I could but I won't!"

Jesus this is getting bad, but it seemed to calm their nerves and relax them.

"Well as long as you don't harm any pony without reason then we will have no problems."

"Hey I fought along side your guard to protect them, no worries from me! Besides I couldn't do that to another sentient race of beings. I have morals to ya know!"

"Ok everypony keep calm, he is our friend and he will not harm anypony! Tia comes to my rescue. Now please my little ponies let us be at ease around our guest!"

"Thank you princess, now if that's enough can we eat in peace!?"

The girls exchange glances before nodding. I nod in return and slowly make my way over to the table. I pull out a char and gesture for somepony to take the seat I offer. They exchange glances once more, shifting on their hooves they smile at my attempt at good manners. But nopony moved to accept the seat, except for one pony that wasn't known for being bashful.

"Well if noponys gonna take up the offer I guess I'll take it! Rainbow Dash takes to the air and quickly fly's over to the unoccupied seat and lands with a thud. "Thanks big buy!"

"Your welcome!" I reply pushing her char in with a small chuckle.

I take the seat to the left of her as the rest of our little group takes any other open seats.

Shining Armor and Luna had many questions for me. Luna asked about me and how I came up in the world, Shining asked my favorite kind of questions, which are on the military.

"So Eagle. Shining armor began with his next question. You told us about your country and weapons, camouflage uniforms, means of transportation and war machines and their functions. You also told us about you military branches. But out of every thing you told us about your military, what's your place in it?"

"Oh I love answering that one! I say excitedly. Now about that, I am an Army JROTC cadet, so I'm not actually in my country's military, but want to be in a certain group of a community within the military known as special ops.  Which as you can guess from the name means that they do different things that the conventional forces don't. Each branch has it's own groups. The Army has Delta Force, Green Berets and Rangers. One of witch units I want to try out for. Marines have Task Force Recon and MARSOC. Air Force has PJs or Parrarescue if you prefer, and the Thunder birds. Then there is the Navy with three groups, one being Navy SWCCs, a group of special boat crew men. The second being a group special fliers called the Navy Blue Angles."

"Really!?" Rainbow Dash perked up with interest.

"Yeah why?" I ask.

"I'm in a Military group reserve of special fliers called the Wonderbolts, I bet we can out maneuver your guys easy!"

"While that's probably true because your body and speed level allow you to move more freely flying, we would strait up blow you and your guys away with speed!"

"No way I can do a sonic rainboom which breaks the sound barrier and bends the light spectrum, which you have to go like...really fast to do!"

"We can break the sound barrier to and we don't have to physically do much of anything, and I'm pretty sure your mane has something to do with what your calling it. Now before we argue about it any longer lets get back on topic. The last, and other unit I was thinking about trying out for if I we're to end up going hooyah in the Navy, are the U.S Navy SEALs or more specifically DEVGRU!"

"Navy SEALs, DEVGRU?" Luna questions.

"The acronym of SEAL stands for sea, air and land. They specialize in water stealth but are still just as sneaky on land. The training they have to go through has a 70% drop out rate, because of the amount of people who quit because of how difficult it is! They are among the best spec ops teams in the world, and are only approximately 6,000 in service and only about 18 out of the 113 make it through training at a time."

"That's quite a daunting task to amount to!" Celestia comments.

"They're so good at their job that they have to remain anonymous until out of service. Which also means that they can't tell any friends or family members any stories regarding their missions. Which other than certain military personnel are the only ones that should know, for fear of bounties being placed on their heads."

"Wow all those skeletons in their closet must be stressful!" Twilight comments.

"Not being honest with ma friends en family would bring ma spirits down partner."

"Oh my heavens darling."

"Wow and I thought being a Wonderbolt was a rough job."

"That's not a very nice job to do."

Fluttershy remained silent. I look at Pinkie Pie and simply say, while pointing to the wound on Shining's leg.

"The world isn't nice."

Then her mane deflated, giving me a sign to lighten the mood.

"Unlike chocolate frosted cupcakes!" I quickly change the subject to something I know she likes.

Then the smile returned to her muzzle and her hair went poufy again, as she let out a squee noise.

"Oh boy I love cupcakes!"

"Good because I was about to come over there and tickle that smile back onto your muzzle!"

Everypony laughs light heartedly at me trying to act silly again. So I push the envelop by using the -Markiplier- Santa voice.

"What are you laughing you little kitties!" This managed to lift their spirits further, judging from the raised tone in laugher.

"I'll tickle your hooves little Dashie!" I say to my target and favorite pony sitting next to me.

"No get away!"

She was sitting to the right of me at the table. I reach out and grab her as quick as I could. She was fairly easy to pull closer to my seat. Which was surprising to me because they were a little bigger in person compared to the view of the computer screen. This caught her off guard, by the time she tried to struggle I had her tight in my right arm.

"Hey let me go!"

"Brace yourself KITTY!" With that I use my left hand to wiggle my fingers on the bottom of her hooves.

"No stop!" She begs.

Rainbow Dash was freaking out, remembering that one episode of MLP when the girls went to that spa and one of the ponies tried touching her hooves, I expected as much. Getting a kick out of her going nuts I take it a step further by going om nom nom to the back her head causing her to laugh harder.

"(laughter) please...Eagle stop!"

I stop for a few moments to let her catch her breath, then I tease her a little.

"What are you gonna do if I don't?"

"I-I'll lick your face!"

That instantly made me think of my old friend Skylar, who would say the same thing if me or Bowen would mess with her to much.

I broke into my own fit of laughter at her remark. Not believing she would actually do it. Everypony else was still laughing along with me.

Then Rainbow's muzzle shot up close to my face, and giving a big....wet lick from chin to forehead. Unfortunately for her she accidently stuck her tongue in my mouth a little in the process. Causing me to let her go free from my arm.

"Ahh she got it in my mouth!" Everypony saw what had happened and laughed until they almost ran out of air.

Rainbow had slid her seat and was blushing profusely covering her muzzle with both fore hooves eyes barley looking at me with her head turned away.Rubbing my tongue around in my mouth out of natural response, I involuntarily make a pun.

"Oh god I can taste the rainbow!"

[youtube=http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/zsQv8LKiU3M/mqdefault.jpg]

At this time Pinkie Pie was on the floor snorting laughter. After a little while everypony regained control of themselves.

"So how did the rainbow taste Eagle." Luna jokingly asks.

"Oh I've seem to of gotten a bad sample, I mite need another!" I say, turning to face Dash with a expression that just said, did you really just do that.

"Oh are you asking for another lick from Dashie!?" Pinkie Pie adds.

"What...no I was being sarcastic!" I quickly reply, realizing what I said sounded like. I was clearly being sarcastic.

"Ah ain't to sure about that partner!"

"Oh I think he is starting to like our friend on a level above friendship girls!" Rarity says in a sing song tone.

I took notice that Spike was in a trance, his cartoony eyes with hearts in them making it obvious he was.

"Hey we just met not to long ago don't jump to any conclusions just yet!"

"Yet?" Celestia chimes in.

"Oh come on even you Tia!?"

"Come now Eagle I can see how you could have feelings for her after her...gift to you."

Thinking about what she had said, I did feel rather more fond of her than usual. I am starting to get to know her in person, and I have to admit Tia did have a point. Rainbow Dash saved my life from certain death not more than a day ago.

"Well I mean she is cute..." Mentally face palming I ask myself, did I really just said that. I meant it to be an honest compliment, not a flirty one.

"See you even admit that you find her looks are appealing to you." Twilight exclaims.

I was in a losing battle now, they just keep pressuring me to say I like her as more than a friend. A friend that I just made not to long ago again if I mite add.

"Ok can we change the subject please!"

"Alright my little ponies that's enough. No need to tease him anymore." Celestia tries to take the heat of me.

"Oh I don't know, he did handle queen Chrysalis well enough. I think he could take more" Shining said who now had decided to speak up.

"Hey I helped you, now back me up!"

"Alright fine I won't push you for it."

"Thank you!"

I look at Rainbow Dash to see her looking down with a sheepish smile. She glances towards me and quickly looks away.

"What are you smiling about?"

"Nothing." She replies in a quiet tone almost like fluttershy would.

"Well then. Celestia speaks up again. Now that that's settled shall we show you our fare city Eagle?"

"Sounds good."

"Excellent, we shall start with the place, then we will show you the rest of Canterlot!"

"Tia, we should take him back to your room first, so he can reclaim the rest of his arsenal."

"Oh yeah, I was wondering where my ulacks were at." I say retrieving my bag.

"Well then Eagle, come let us begin!"

Chapter 6: A tour with an unexpected guest

Me and Everypony were having our own conversations on our way to Celestia's room. Mostly still about how curious they were about where I came from. Twilight acted as a consultant for my world, seeing how see had visited the human parallel universe in the Equestria girls movie, if only they knew the true world. Rainbow and I were talking about our own race's groups of special fliers. It being one about the military of course I'd love to do nothing more at the time.

"So your Blue Angels also do air shows to?" Rainbow was fairly interested in hearing about a group of similar status.

"Yeah I can't remember when, but I think I got to see them once and it was freaky!"

"Why?"

"Because of the stunts they were pulling. It always looked like they were goanna crash into each other or the ground!"

"Ha, yeah that's how I felt when I first Wonderbolts too."

"So what inspired you to join the military Rainbow?"

"Well when I saw the Wonderbolts for the first time I thought it was pretty cool how they flew with all their tricks and stunts, everypony really seemed to love them and I did to. Over time I thought about it more and more so I finally decided I wanted to join and be awesome, loved and famous like them."

"Well your already awesome and loved. I'm sure your well on your way to fame with no problems."

"Aww thanks! A small blush came back to her cheeks, this time instead of those pink ovals, her cheeks themselves turn a red shade. So what about you then, why do you want to join the SEALs or Rangers?"

"Well at first when I was young, I was a young boy whom had no idea what was going on in the world around me. I had no interest. But as I grew older I started to realize what was going on with politics, I'm not a big fan but I started hearing news of the troops over seas. Fighting a war halfway across the world. We were winning, but men and woman were still dying for it. I started to take interest with what was going on with the troops. The thought of people in the masses giving their lives for their family and country just tugged at my heartstrings. Then I found out that I had some past military service members in the family, like my uncle Don. Who was an 82nd airborne paratrooper in operation Desert Storm. Which was a war going on back in the day. We ultimately won it along side allied forces. But over the years the enemy slowly returned to their former military power. Which brings us to what sparked todays conflict. So now they got an Army and their cocky.  So they decide their going to attack every country that helped liberate the country that they were ravaging because they were having a financial crisis for some reason! So they hijack a few of our plains and crash them into our twin towers at the world trade center and pentagon, killing hundreds if not thousands! Then they follow that up with doing something to the mail with a biological or chemical weapon hell I don't remember which! So we go back over and kick their asses a second time with the cost of more lives!  When we defeat them a second time, we occupy the country! But oh no, it can't just end there! Now they start to make gorilla groups of insurgents! The Taliban, ISIS and such, controlling their members by saying. Oh, Allah A.K.A God, says he wants every one in the world to believe what we believe, and we're to tell everyone to convert or die! Anyone who doesn't accept our religion and way of life is going to be killed...!

I hadn't realized how deep I was getting into my rant. I had stopped when I caught all the others staring at me, they had been listening to me go on about my own worlds conflicts. Concerned looks adorned their faces.

Sorry ladies I got carried away. So what I was try to say with all of that Rainbow was I want to stop bad crazy people and give back the service of those who came before with my own." I quickly say, a little embarrassed.

"Right then, well then, here are now." Celestia says.

The guard sentries at her door open it with their magical power and allow us entry. We enter her room which had luxuries that I've never seen anyone have! She had a golden bed frame with a purple blanket that had her cutie mark on it. A big golden telescope at a huge window at the other end of the room. Shiny marble flooring with a personal library, next to a big desk. I scan the room with my eyes until I spot my ulacks on a large work desk off the side against the wall, they were next to an assortment of books.

Celestia, still in the lead. Walks up to her work desk and levitates my ulacks toward me.

"Here you are." She passes them to me.

"Thanks." I give a simple reply.

I noticed that there was no blood on them, she probably cleaned them for me. Giving them a quick look over and finding nothing wrong, I put them back through my ACU's belt loops on my sides.

"I had tried to study them for cultural origins, but with no luck in our history books, perhaps you could share what your are reasons for their design."

"Their fantasy blades."

"Fantasy blades?"

"Yeah fantasy blades."

"I do not understand?"

"As do we." Luna speaks for herself and everypony else behind her.

"Yeah how can you weapons be classified as...fantasy?" Shining Armor questions.

"It means that their based off of a fake made up weapon, usually from a movie or TV show."

"From what?" Twilight asks confused as ever.

"Right, you don't have the same technology as us. Alright how to best explain this...."

"Oh I know!" Pinkie Pie suddenly jumps up. Thosearethingsthatshowupinbigandsmallboxthingsthatshowaseriesofpicturesthatreplaylikememoriesthatyoucanwatchforentertanment!" She says with lightning speed.

Everypony looked at Pinkie Pie with shock including me. Doing the pony shrug meme I say.

"Well that was pretty spot on!"

"Um, pardon me darling?"

Turning my attention to Rarity, I raise an eyebrow with a audible "hm?"

"From what I was able to make out of what Pinkie Pie had said, the 'box things' sound similar to description of that rectangular device you had pulled from your pocket earlier.

"Well your right, they are. I reach into my right pocket again and pull my phone out. I face the screen towards the girls and guys, pressing the button on top to bring up the screen with my wallpaper on it. This little device..."

"Um, what's that!" Rainbow says pointing a hoof at my phone.

I turn my head to look at the screen, only to find the stupidest thing I could have shown them. It was a picture of a pony stallion...wearing an ACU jacket and a helmet with a pair of goggles strapped around it. The American flag as his cutie mark.

"Um...I needed to come up with an excuse for this picture fast! Looking down at my phone I look a the picture pretending to look confused. Then and idea hit me. That wasn't like that before!"

"What was it before?" Luna asks with a quizzical look.

"It was a human male before I came to Equestria."

"Oh oh, maybe it changed because your on a different world and the magic of Equestria turned the human on that rectangle thing into pony!" Pinkie Pie suggested.

I shrugged my shoulders playing dumb. "Could be the reason, heck I don't know all that works with human technology?"

"Well I'm not so sure either, but lets not get a headache over it."

"Alright, so we can just say it is what it is?" I ask hoping for a good response.

"Meh, I can role with that." Rainbow said completely brushing it off. The others slowly nodded their heads accepting the logic presented. I just lucked out big time!

"Your love for the military is unwavering we see, care to elaborate?" Luna asks.

Feeling myself going into deep thought over the history of America's wars, I didn't answer until Applejack broke my trance.

"You alright there sugar cube?"

"Because of what they do for their people and country. I start. The men and woman that leave their homes to travel half way around the world to fight those that would do harm to others. Men that...live to make everyone else live in fear. Our guardians of freedom that lose their mental health, limbs, minds and even their vary lives, to protect their friends, families and homes from evil. Same price some of your guard have paid."

There faces now with a look of sadness I try to change the subject again.

"But enough of all the darkness, I don't wanna have to tickle those smiles back on to those mussels?"

They perk up a little but they still have a look of dread slightly.

"Eagle. Celestia begins. I know you are thinking about my little ponies mental well being and I thank you for being so considerate, but if you feel the need to talk about it, me and my sister Luna are willing to listen."

Looking down I shake my head.

"No its not your problem, I sorry for putting those thoughts in your heads."

"Hey dude Its fine, no need to beat yourself up for venting."

I look up to see Rainbow, her hoof on my shoulder. I bring my hand up and grab her fore hoof and give it a little shake of appreciation.

"Thanks." I say with a smile

"Well then Eagle Shall we take this tour to the city now that your items have been returned?" Celestia asks.

"Sure just as soon as I deliver on a promise I made earlier."

"What mite that be?"

"Gather round folks I'm gonna show yawl some human camouflage!"

Rarity practically teleports to my side, somehow getting that close to me with out seeing her move from the girls side. I jumped a little when I noticed but didn't say anything about it. every pony else stood in front of me, waiting patently for me to present my phone as I power on the internet. I use the Bing search engine took look for all the camo patterns known to me that I like.

(Woodland)

(Marpat Woodland 'Marines'/AOR2 'Navy')

(Marpat Desert 'Marines')

(AOR1 'Navy')

(3-Color Desert)

(6-Color Desert)

(Multicam)

(ACU 'Army Combat Uniform'/ UCP 'Universal Camouflage Pattern)

(Cadpat)

(Tiger Stipe)

(Desert Tiger Stripe)

"Wow, some of these patterns are awesome!"

"And quite exotic to darling!"

"Yeah, sucks because I had some of these patterns on my uniforms back on my world. Plus these are my only cloths and I have yet to clean myself up."

"Oh darling, you must let me remake the close you have lost. Its the least I can do to accommodate you for being taken from your world without notice!"

"Really!"

"Oh certainly! Besides I can't turn down the challenge that comes with the making those fancy patterns. With the additional challenge of creating cloths for a complete other race of beings!"

"Aw I'm starting to like you more and more!"

"Now, if that is all, follow us to the main gate so we may tour you of our lovely city!" Celestia chimes in.

"Alright, lead the way my friends!"

With that being said we continue back down from whence we came, on our way out of the palace. This time however Rarity had been asking me for what kind of clothing I would want, I simply said that a couple remakes of my currant uniform would be good enough for now. Along with some tactical combat shirts. I said I would show her what patterns I wanted for each, with my phone for some odd reason having a undying electric charge I pull it out and ask if they wanted to know more about it. They give  Going to my music player I ask what brand of music they like.

"So anypony like rap, rock or country music?"

They shake their heads and say that they never heard of such music, and that they only had classical or dubstep to listen to.

"Then allow me to give yawl a taste of something new!" I reply with a little excitement.

(Just listen or continue to read if you don't want to wait, it won't be as fitting for the next setting though.)

Turning the song on and up to as high as my phones speakers would go, I sang with it as we walked/trotted towards our destination.

as we got further in, Applejack and Rainbow Dash started to bob their heads to the tune. Celestia and Luna were intrigued by the sounds of the instruments and lyrics, while the other girls weren't getting into it. As the song ended we exited at the main entrance to the royal palace.

"Woo-we partner, I never such a fine sounding tune and lyrics to ma ears!"

"Yeah that was awesome!" AJ and RD were getting pumped up from the new music they had heard.

"That was only the tip of the iceberg. But lets stop for now there will be plenty of time to jam out when we're done." I say putting the phone away.

"Aw, come on dude!"

"Sorry Dash we in public now."

Without a word more, Rainbow Dash drops to the ground from hovering with her wings. crossing her fore-hooves and makes a pouting face. I personally thought it was too cute of her. I knell down to be at eye contact.

"Oh you are so cute!" I say scratching under her chin with my right pointer finger.

She smiles again and bats my hand away.

"Hey quit it!"

"Princess Celestia, princess Luna, princess Twilight! A royal guard rushed up to our group and bowed.

Your graces we spotted another Human enter the city with a Unicorn, wearing a purple hat and cape with stars!

"What!?" We all exclaim in unison.

"Another Human, how many of you were there summoned!" Spike exclaims

"We must see who he or she is!"  Luna ordered.

"Yes princess this way, follow me!"

I quickly pull out my mask from my right cargo pocket and put it on, tucking the bottom of my zipped up combat shirt's collar and all bolt down the street, dodging the pedestrians as the trot by. We go though a series of turns and alleys until we come out to what looked to be a marketing area of town. Looking both ways I spot a figure on to legs that looked to be my height.

"Over there!" I announce to the group."

"Good eye Eagle. Celestia compliments me. We need know to find out who we are dealing with." She takes a trot forward but I cut her off with my arm.

"No let me go ahead, he'll be more comfortable with me approaching first."

"Vary well Eagle, we will stay behind you."

Nodding, we start to walk slowly up to who ever is at the market stall. I noticed that the stall had an assortment of knives and stabbing weapons, and that the pony he was with was...Trixie? Now curious, I quicken my pace a little, as I get closer I can see ponies glancing back and forth between me and the other person. The person currently unknown to me was wearing a blue hoodie with the hood up, dark grey jeans and a red shirt slightly visible from . What really caught my attention was the fact that one of his legs were bandaged, and he looked just as dirty and beat up as I was from the fight a day ago.

I saw that he and Trixie had a good sum of bits on the blacksmith's table. The person had bought a bow and quiver of arrows, and a large knife with a curved blade, along with a smaller 6 inch dagger.

Only about ten feet behind them I hear Trixie talking to him.

"Thank you again for saving the great and powerful Trixie once again Bowen! I I'm most grateful!"

At the mention of his name I stopped dead in my tracks and repeated his name.

"Bowen!?"

The person whips around while taking his hood off, and standing before me was my battle bud!

"Gage!?"

Chapter 7: Reunited with an old friend

I was stunned to see one of my few best friends! Bowen must of been summoned to Equestria with me!

We stand as still, staring each other down with apprehension in our eyes. After what seemed like forever, we snap out of our trance of shock.

With his face reveled, I remove the mask covering my own. I see him look to the group of ponies I had arrived with, then he looks back to me and winks with a devious smirk. I cock an eyebrow, confused of what he meant. Then he starts to make a fist with and begins punching it into the palm of his left hand. Signaling the universal sign of wanting to -knuckle up-.

(Red vs Blue Season 10ost Pray) [youtube=https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4-ZchNVtbKg/default.jpg]

I return the smile now understanding what he meant. Realizing that he wanted to fake a fight between us in front of the girls, Spike and princess I begin to crack my neck.

"You!" Bowen spits with fake malice.

"We meet again!" I growl back.

"Ready to get your ass handed to you!" Bowen shoots back with a now boastful tone of voice.

I decide to follow his lead and choose to reply in a just as boastful voice.

"Think you can take me?" I challenge stuffing the mask back into my right cargo pocket and removing my ulacks from my belt loops and proceeding to throw them aside, along with my urban camo dagger and black ops knife.

"Your on!" He excepts, removing his own new found weapons also tossing them to the side.

With both of us freeing ourselves from our life threating tools from our persons, me also of my baggage. The girls along with Spike, Shining and the princesses start to back off of the soon to be brawling field of the two humans. As does Trixie and anypony else on the street.

"This doesn't look good girls!" Twilight says out load.

"Hey wait, let me...AH!" Shining Armor try's to trot forward to assist me, but his leg causes him to wince in pain, not being fully healed.

Twilight gives Shining Armor a shoulder to lean on as he nearly falls over. I hear the commotion behind me so I raise a hand to stop what ever they were thinking about doing.

"Hey, I got this girls, Shining don't stress yourself right now."

I snicker quietly to myself lowing my hand. Not taking my gaze off of Bowen. We stare at each other only for what seems like forever. The street starts to clear of all ponies as we stare each other down. Even the shopkeepers close their stalls, I can not believe that these ponies fear us so much as to abandon ship when they see a conflict coming. My thoughts of them reacting to us were interrupted as Bowen charges, quickly closing the distance between us. He tackles me to the ground, luckily it didn't hurt to much because of my quick reflexes to brace for impacted. I struggle with him to brake free from his grip on me, but I manage to release his hold and push him off me.

Jumping back on my feet, I counter by tackling him back. I start to give him a few punches. After four punches he pushes me off of him lest time. I try pouncing him once, but he kicks his none bandaged leg at me, making me jump back to dodge a blow to the gut.

Bowen rushes back to his feet and takes a fighting stance.

"That the best you got!" Bowen taunts.

"Beast mode activated!" I retort.

"Eagle catch!"

I look to see Celestia levitating my black ops knife with her magic. Before I could say anything, she forces the blade through the air, nearly landing in the side of my head. Luckily I lean my upper body back and dodge the airborn blade, I watch it whip past my face and land in a wooden support beam of a market-stand. I then turn my gaze back to Celestia, who had a hoof over her muzzle with a big red blush and wide eyes.

"Sorry!" She yells in apology.

"I said I got this!" I shout back, still scared shitless after that stunt she pulled.

Bringing my attention back to Bowen, whom was just as wide-eyed as me and Celestia. Recomposing ourselves, we get back into fighting stances.

"As I was saying. I continue. Lets do this mother fucker!"

With that we charge at each other. When we meet halfway in the street and we start going at it!

We strike at each other with a series of fast tight quarter punches and elbow-strikes, going back and forth between hits and blocks. But after a while he pulled a fast one, catching my arm and throwing me over his hip, sending me down to the ground with ease. It hurt like a bitch, but I muscle through the pain and kick my leg strait up and hit his shoulder with the end of my foot, backing him off for a moment of space.

Jumping up I receive an assault of kicks, forcing me to back up while blocking them with my arms. I eventually back into a wall and he nails me a couple times in the sides under my arms. I retaliate by kneeing him in the gut and beginning my own assault on him. Sending a fury of more punches and elbows, slipping a few hits past Bowens defense here and there. Now with his back against a brick wall of a building I switch from knee and elbow strikes to punches. I try to give him one wide punch to his head and miss, instead smashing my fist into the brick wall.

But it didn't hurt? Instead of a broken hand, I made a dent in the hard surface of the building! I reel my right fist back to look at my knuckles, and see not a scratch on them! Yet again wide eyed I look at Bowen who was just as freaked out as me. I look to the girls and see that I had made their jaws drop. Without saying anything I look back to Bowen, who had somehow recomposed himself after I almost made his head explode unintentionally. He tries to elbow me but before he could I jump back and go on the defensive.

Following up on his attack, Bowen kicks me back into the middle of the street.

"Lets finish this!" Bowen says, signaling to bring our little display of marshal arts.

Bowen rushes up to me and I ready myself for the final confrontation. This time it was all out! From punches and Kicks, to elbows and knee strikes, we hit and blocked each other with every thing we had in our arsenal of moves.

Bowen swings his right leg at me for a round house kick, and I duck under it. I try to elbow him by going back-in-forth between both arms, Bowen blocks them with his arms. He and I attack simultaneously with kicks, but both end up blocking each other with the others attack. Until finally we grab each others throats with our right hands, and our wrists with the left.

Yanking and pushing one-another by the throats. We stop wringing each others necks to realize that we look like complete idiots in our currant position. Bowen and I start to smirk at the realization of what we were just doing. Soon our smirks turn into giggles, then from giggles to full blown laughter. Bowen and I release our hold on each other and give one another a few pats on the shoulder, looking at the girls, Spike and Shining, then Trixie. Seeing their dumbfounded expressions drove us over the edge. We both stand there pointing and laughing at their expense, them not knowing it was all a display of two idiots having fun be beating each other up.

"Dude that was badass!" I complement.

"Oh shit dude, we haven't done that in forever!"

"I know man, we need to do that more often!" I reply.

"Can somepony please explain what's going on!" Luna cuts in.

Bowen and I cease our laughing and catch our breath.

"Ladies, this is my best friend Bowen and he is my cock-sock he and I have known each other for years now. What you just saw was one of our boyish antics of marshal arts. Which is a form of fighting with our limbs. I say showing strikes with each possible limb and body joint. We were just messing with yawl, everything's fine. As I move to gather my weapons from the sides of the street, I notice that Bowen had a limp, as he struggles to collect his weapons.

"Wait so human friends fight when they meet after an extended period of time!" Twilight asks confused about human customs.

"Nope that's just our thing." Bowen replies holstering his bow on his torso.

"Yeah, we're professional morons." I add as I retrieve my black ops knife from the random market stalls wooden support beam.

"You both seem fairly intelligent to us!" Celestia chimes in.

"Not compared to everyone else!" Bowen reply's.

Finishing picking up our weapons and baggage from the street, Bowen and I meet back up in the middle. The girls, Spike and Shining along with Trixie, approach the both of us as we shake on a good fight.

"Um Bowen, you never said anything about another Human with you?" Trixie comments.

"Technically I didn't know either until today."

"Hello Trixie." Twilight says with kind smile for reasons known to me.

Bowen puts on a confused face. Not knowing their history with each other.

"T-Twilight!" Trixie gasps in shock at Twilight's new appearance. Not seeing her for who knows how long before her transformation into an Alicorn, probably freaking Trixie out that Twilight has achieved the highest power of magic and status in Equestia.

Turns out I was correct. Trixie fainted right on the spot. Eveypony looking at Trixie's unconscious body, I was about ask the obvious before Bowen beats me to it.

"Soooo....somebody what to explain what's going on here?" Bowen questions.

"I'm guessing you ladies have a history with that pony Trixie?" I say knowing full well of what happened between Trixie and Twilight.

"You have no idea." Rainbow Dash says hovering up next to me.

"Yeah she's a big meanie!" Pinkie Pie adds.

"Quite darling."

"I'll say partner."

"Well I'm sure its nothing you couldn't handle." I finish wrapping my arm around Dash's neck in a friendly manner.

"Woe what's going on there!" Bowen says pointing at me and Dash.

"What?" I ask.

"She doesn't seem to mine your arm holding her close to you bro?"

"Well...were good friends."

"Looks like your a little closer than that dude."

"So just because I put my arm around a cute mare's neck, we're automatically boy-friend and girl-friend!" I say in a defensive tone.

"Oh so you think she's cute!"

"Oh my god, YES I think she is cute and I think a lot of these ponies are cute! With their big eyes and cute little ears."

Everypony except me, Dash and Trixie because she out cold. Cracks up laughing at the recited history Pinkie just had to blurt out for the world to hear.

"Well seems you two chummy chummy, it looks like I have some competition for the title of best bro ever!"

"I told them to call me by my old nickname by the way."

""There actually calling you Eagle?"

"Yeah."

"Shoot partner, wouldn't surprise me if I caught them actually kissing in one ma apple trees back at ma family farm!" AJ brings up once again.

Bowen and eveypony else to which laughs their ass/flanks off. Me and Dash just sit there Silently blushing at their remarks about our relationship status.

"Oh come now darling, there is no shame in liking somepony!"

"If you to love birds are done cooing at each other, can we get on with whatever we were going to do, my leg is really starting to hurt." Bowen says patting his injured leg.

"Oh you poor thing!" Fluttershy rushes up to him with concern. We can't have you moving around with that big boo boo!"

"Hey I'm not a baby, I can walk!" Bowen protests.

"Well not with out someone to lean on your not." I cut in releasing Dash from my hold.

I walk up to Bowen and sling his right arm around the back of my neck, and wrapping my left arm around his back.

"Now can we get to we're going?" Bowen winces as he try's to apply pressure to his leg.

"Yeah, hey girls and boys this trip just got cut short, Bowen needs his leg patched up." I say playfully.

"I can have one of our doctors at the guard barracks look at it when we return to the palace." Celestia announces.

"Good, well Dash, looks like our music in public cap has just been revoked!" I say chantingly.

"Awesome, what other cool songs do you have on that phone of yours!"

"I think we could use a mellow song after all that." I reply as I reach for my phone. Bringing up the main screen I tap the music player and scroll to the through of the short list of songs, having only a few mellow songs I go with a track from brand x music.

(Brand x music-Into The Abyss) [youtube=https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/9Ah9CTRpOFE/mqdefault.jpg]

Luna picks Trixie up off the ground and puts her on her own back with her magic. Fluttershy hovers to the other side of Bowen and moves his left arm around her neck for support. Pinkie, Twilight and Rarity group up with Celestia and Luna. Rainbow on the other hand, hovered close to me on the right. Applejack was next to Fluttershy on the left. I noticed something strange about her though, the way she was eyeing Bowen. It looked as if she was eyeing him with admiration. I brush it off as being from our public display of false combat, and being the two of a race that hasn't existed for thousands of years.

Looking ahead, I notice another stare similar to the one from Applejack, this one coming from Rarity. As before I brush it of as a wonder of thought about how Bowen and I behave. Walking back to the palace in the clam mid day sun was a nice change of events. Other than still receiving the nasty looks of disgust in the wealthy locals faces. But they were easily shut out by the eyes of the pony hovering next to me. Glancing over at Dash, I catch her looking my way.

"See anything you like?" I tease.

She looks away quick like to avoid letting me see her blush, but I know she was.

"Oh wow, Really!?" Bowen starts.

"What?" I ask.

"You just said you two are only friends, and now your flirting with her!"

"No I'm just joking around with her, there's a difference!"

"Yeah, same difference!"

"Will you drop the hole I'm in love with a mare I met a day ago!"

"I didn't say anything about love!"

"W-well why would me be flirting with Rainbow be such a big deal if you don't know what led up to me having a emotional connection!"

Realizing that I just contradicted myself I mentally face palm.

"One you just contradicted yourself by saying your flirting with her, two what did lead up your currant connection with the girls anyway?"

Recollecting on past events, the images play through my head like a movie. The sounds of battle cry's and slashing of flesh. The clash of two armies as I defended the elements of harmony and princesses. My first kills of other satiate lives. Joining in the massive clash fighting alongside the ponies as I hack, slash and stab my way through the Changelings for Chrysalis's life to end. The final confrontation between me and the Changeling queen herself. The young guard pony's sacrifice, laying down his life for me as Chrysalis was about to crack my skull with her fore-hooves. Killing her in my rage of loss of life by her and her Changelings hooves. Returning to the palace with Shining slung over my shoulders, seeing the pain of lost brothers in arms of other ponies as I pass them by, the one pony crying over the body of one such brother.

"Eagle...Eagle!?"

I hadn't realized that I had came to a halt in my walk, and had drifted deep into thought as Spike tried to snap me back into reality. To which I shake my head and look towards him.

"You alright dude?"

"Yeah man you weren't responding for awhile?" Bowen adds to Spike's comment.

"Y-yeah I'm fine, just a little...Its not good story."

"Oh that explains the damage on the main street. If it makes you feel better, my time with Trixie wasn't free of trouble ether."

"I explain later, for everyponies sake."

"Thank you for considering my little ponies mental well being again Eagle."

"Its the least I can do for them."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We had arrived back at the royal palace. Receiving many odd looks from every passerby, at least the guard ponies gave smiles and waves of recognition to which I happily returned the gestures. Arriving at the Canterlot royal guard ponies barracks, I help Bowen sit on one of the beds so he doesn't hurt his leg further. A nurse pony had came to check his leg by request of Princess Celestia, luckily the verdict was good. After the nurse had removed his bandages and examined his leg, she said that he would be fine and that his leg would heal. But the wound would likely leave a scar. She also went on to say that he would also have to keep from doing anything rough for a while, to be careful to not reopen the wound. It made Bowen aggravated to be hindered but he kept it to himself. Luna Set Trixie on the bed to the side of Bowen.

Bowen thanked the nurse for replacing the old dirty bandages with clean new ones. The nurse said your welcome and trotted away to attend to the others. The wounded from the battle. Guard ponies that survived and were wounded into nursing care. They were bruised and beaten with cuts and scratches riddling their bodies, some of them even covered head to hoof  with them. The feeling of dread returning as I see them. But the dread was soon replaced with a feeling pride. I see them looking our way with smiles. They nudge others close to themselves while pointing a hoof at me whispering. I smirk and wave back to them.

"How you boys doing?"

They all respond with various reply's, all happy and up lifted. I decided to walk over to the guys and hang with them while I have the chance.

"Which one of you boys knocked me on my butt when I was trying to clime over you in that skirmish!?..." (Laughter from me and guard ponies)

"He is rather quick to make nice with our guard is he not sister?"

"Quite Luna, I'm rather happy that he is friendly with our royal defenders. Perhaps he mite even join their ranks as a profession?"

"He was quick to complement us on our appearances." Twilight adds.

"Gage...er Eagle is a nice guy, he was always the quiet one, never talking unless spoken to. But encountering a new form of sentient life has its exceptions I guess."

"You seem alright yourself partner."

"Thanks...um...I don't believe I got your names yet?"

"I am princess Celestia co-ruler of Equestria along side my sister Luna." Celestia gestures a hoof towards her sister.

"Hello Bowen!" Luna says with a smile.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle, its nice to meet you!"

"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie!"

"I'm Rainbow Dash! Fastest and most awesome flier in all of Equestria!"

"And I'm Applejack, nice to make your acquaintance partner!"

"Nice to meet you all."

"Hey Bowen check this out!" I call walk quickly back over to the group.

As I approach, I raise my right hand with my fingers pointing down. Showing RD's cutie mark.

"Dude what the heck!?"

"I know right! I passed out and poof, I wake up with them imprinted on my hands!"

"We can explain that later, once you had time to settle in." Celestia says.

"Settle in?" Bowen reply's with a questioning tone."

The Girls exchange nervous glances. The cartoony graphics of this universe making their expressions easy to read. Their worried faces confirming what I had assumed was the case of our being here.

"Theirs no way to send us home is there?" I ask.

Silence filled the air as me and Bowen stare the elements of harmony and princesses down. Until finally Luna was first to speak.

"We have some explaining to do."

Chapter 8: Explanations and Speculations

Sighing heavily, I take a seat next to Bowen on the soft white covered bed and hunch over, still look at the princesses. Who's faces have taken saddened expression.

"Well we have time, feel free to start from the beginning."

"It happened long ago, when your new friend Shining Armor here had asked princess cadence's hoof in marriage. Their love was strong, very strong. Strong enough to bring ponies from many of our provinces. Along with expected and uninvited guests. The Changelings and their ruler queen Chrysalis, feed on the power and energy love can produce. With the love blooming for the two soon to be married and the hundreds flocking to the to the ceremony..."

"They had a massive source of energy to feed off of." I cut in.

"Precisely! Celestia continues. So with their mastery of shape shifting and voice masking. Queen Chrysalis had foal-napped princess cadence and taken her place, along with others on their way...."

"Easy cover and easy picking with no suspicions." I cut in again.

"Yes, all that being said, we had found out too late. The Changelings had taken us all by surprise, I tried to stop Chrysalis by force, but was foolish and underestimated her. With hast I sent the girls to retrieve their elements with hope of repelling the attack. But to no success, the Changelings captured them and brought them back to the ceremonial chamber, with relief unharmed. Chrysalis was sure her victory was complete had here attention had left us to gloat. Giving princess Cadence an opportunity to reunite with her love and with one magical blast, the power of true love blasted the Changelings from Canterlot and save its ponies!"

I had known this already but it was a good way to get Bowen up to speed on the story leading up to what was about the be discussed.

"But you clearly knew it wouldn't be the last you herd from them." I state the obvious.

"Right again Eagle. From those days since we had guards scouting the badlands for any sighs of retaliations. In resented weeks we've been getting reports of increased activity on the surface of their hives. Not wanting to cause a panic we made plans in secrecy. After this time Twilight had made a new discovery. A centuries old book left behind by Luna and I's parents, containing hidden knowledge of an ancient civilization, known as humans."

Ok that part caught me off guard! To my knowledge there was only the world of Equestria girls that contained a human presence in the show. Not mixed with the pony side of things.

"Really!" Me and Bowen say with disbelieve.

"Yes indeed. Humans like yourselves. The book contained a very few things about their Along with the power and knowledge to summon warriors to fight to protected from any evil that would do harm to anypony. With this newfound information, We made a last second decision to try our luck."

"You used the spell." Bowen comments this time.

"Yes" Luna answers back.

"Guess that explains that freakish storm that came our way."

"Yeah, no kidding."

"It took much power and energy but with your arrival's we succeeded."

"Bro is that the why the main street through town is messed up?" Bowen turns to me with a question.

(Act of Valor - Damn Few) [youtube=https://i.ytimg.com/vi/znwy61kGOWo/default.jpg]

I give a simple node turning my gaze to the floor running my hands though my short hair.

"A lot of good ponies died that day. One of them died saving me. Shining Armor and I were facing down queen Chrysalis together when he got hit with one her magical bolts in the leg. Then managed to daze me with a knock to the head. I had been holding her to the ground with a bad choke hold while he tried to keep her into pined down. But she managed to buck him off of herself and zap his leg and smash the back of her head into my head. My right hand came lose with my grip and she broke free, she got up and pined me down. Time seemed to slow as I watched her rear up on her hind legs, about to bring her fore-legs down and bash my skull. Then out of nowhere, that one guard pony who was probably the only one at the time who saw what was going on, tackled her off of me and then she...all there was left was ashes!"

Shaking my head side to side I stand up, all the emotions I hadn't had time to cope were coming up. Being under for a day right after the battle I didn't have time to mourn about the fallen or contemplate my acts. Suddenly having thought about them was to much to take all at once.

"I'm sorry I need to go out side."  I say walking quickly to the door.

"Hey Eagle wait up!" A raspy voice calls after me.

"Hey man I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked!"

"Eagle please come back!"

I exit the medical center in the barracks, stepping outside I slide my shades up and press my back up against a wall nearby. Covering my face with pressure applied by my left hand, a run them though my hair. Soon after Rainbow Dash, Bowen and princess Celestia follow, the rest of the group soon follows after, minus Trixie.

"Eagle its ok to vent."

"No Rainbow its not that! I keep getting flash backs!"

"Hey man its my fault..."

"No its no you, its the images, they keep playing through my head!

"Eagle its not your fault he died, he died willingly!"

"It should have been me not him!"

"You made sure he didn't die in vane, that's all you could have done Eagle!"

I remove my left hand slowly from covering my eyes, my breathing heavy and labored with shudders.

"Not..in..vane?"

"Not in vane Eagle. His sacrifice saved the city and all of Equestria. Were all safe thanks to you all!"

My breathing slows and I lean off the wall. With my body free from any obstacle that would block it. Rainbow slowly pulls my into a warm friendly hug. Unsure how to respond I stand there frozen.

"Let us in Eagle, were your friends. You can talk about anything with us."

Slowly but surly, my arms start to raise inch by inch. Until they find their way around her torso. I wasn't sure if I was irritating her wings, she hadn't been flying and was standing on her hind legs. Pushing the thoughts aside, I clear my mind with the tenderness of the moment. Feeling the vibe of love and care that radiates off of Rainbow with everypony else around me. Slowly calming down, I give two pats on her back to signal to break the hug up, but instead she only pushes off a little to look me in the eyes.

"Felling better tough guy?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm good, thanks Dash."

"No problem, now are you ready to go back inside?"

"Yeah."

Rainbow Dash drops from leaning on me back to all fours. Taking one last deep breath, I give everpony and Bowen the thumbs up.

"All good ladies and gents."

I start back towards the door and RD, Bowen and Tia following behind, the rest of the girls Spike and Shining stand off to the side allowing me back in first. As I reenter the med barracks, I receive concerned looks from the beat up guard ponies. I continue on with out saying anything, only glancing at those I pass by. I see movement out of the corner of my eye when I glance left. I don't bother to turn to look assuming somepony was shifting in bed to get comfortable. Nearing the empty bed next to the still unconscious Trixie. I notice that I can only hear a new set of hoof tots behind me.

"You alright there bother?"

Coming to a halt, I look over my right shoulder to see who's voice was addressing me. To my surprise, it was one of the wounded ponies. I could see the girls and guys a few feet behind him. He had white body and blond mane. His cutie mark had a gold colored shield and with two crossed swords in front of it.

"Yeah I'm doing better, you?"

"Good, hey listen, don't let the images get to ya to much, we had the same problem at first. But we talked it over with each other, you need to get it off your chest and vent as much as you feel you need to or it will just haunt you. Just be happy with the outcome and rejoice with the fact that our citizens and land are safe, be happy you can live to fight another day and insure that they can remain safe."

I took a few moments to soak up what he was saying and smiled a little. This guy really did nail it for me.

"You got it bother." I reply nodding

"One last thing. Go out and see our works pay off. How life continues on as if it hadn't even happened. Do that for favor for us would you Eagle?"

"How'd you know my name?"

He didn't even blink as he pointed a hoof towards the gang as he gave a small smile.

"Heard it loud and clear! You can be sure its gonna spread fast thought the guard ranks real fast!"

"Well if that be that case and word of this event spreads like wild fire across Equestria, be sure to keep me a ghost would ya?"

"Yeah just a shadow of the deeds of the few and the brave royal guard."

"Why would you want to be unknown after all that?"

"Well for starters I don't want any attention from the media about this or hounded by news writers. I'd like to have privacy to remain apart of my life. Second I don't want to be known by everypony and have them ask me about what happened non stop. Third, and this is the important one. I say leaning in a little close so I don't have to say it out loud. He leans closer as well. Should Equestria have a new treat ever come to pass, I don't what who ever they may be to have a target. I would like to keep a bounty off my head and be able to fight at yours guy's side to confront them should you ever need me." I finish with a smirk.

He nods a few times in understanding.

"Right, I got'cha, the less ponies know about your existence and motives for live the better and peaceful you can be and feel in civilian life."

"Bingo!"

"Well, I'll pass that along to the guys then, I won't keep ya for whatever you got planned for the day. Oh, and don't forget about checking out the city!"

My stomach growls with hunger as if on queue. Lightly chuckling I pat my gut.

"Well I have an idea on where to go first! Can't believe I'm already hungry again! By the way I didn't get your name?"

"Its Sword Halter."

I reach my arm out and make a fist for a bro hoof, to which he responds with a bump of his hoof. It was strange, When RD bumped my fist with her hoof it felt soft yet sold with a little mushy feeling to it. Sword Halter's felt harder, but his hoof was more out there, with it being colored different than the rest his body's color.

"Hang on a sec bro I got to get the dead weight first." Bowen says passing us by to get Trixie.

"Um Eagle, what's going on with her anyway." Sword Halter asks me.

"Oh she's a knocked up prostitute and my buddy Bowen can't bring himself to let her go without getting what he asked for."

I could here Bowen snickering behind me, so I quickly turn half-way around and gesture for him to keep it down.

"So well be going now, Bowen hurry up!" I say rushing by him trying to hold my own laughter in."

"Shut up I'm coming!"

"Bow chicka bow wow!"

"Shutthefuckup!"

"Girls and boys hurry up" I comment to our group Now leaving the med barracks.

"Eagle me and my sister must return to our duties, we will await your return!"

"Alright catch you later ladies!"

Walking as fast as my legs can carry me, I head out the gate that leads to the road that leads back to the rest of the city, but I start laughing so I stop for the group.

"Dude, what the fuck why!" Bowen was near dropping Trixie over his fit of laughter.

"Because felt like!"

"Guys what's a prostitute?" Spike asks curious.

That only made us snicker. Spike still very young had no idea. But no pony else looked disgusted but rather confused to, so I'm sure they didn't know ether. Recomposing my self I simply say.

"Can't tell you bro, its nothing you should know anyway."

"Ok then?"

Then our old friend Trixie comes to in of all places, in Bowens arms.

"W-what hap..?"

Their was a long pause of silence. Trixie looks up at him and then to his arms and then back up.

"Um Bowen, why are carrying me?" Those pink circles appear.

"Well um, you kind of passed out so, yeah."

"Oh, well then, can you put me down."

Without replying Bowen lowers her and Trixie rolls out of his grasp landing on her hooves. Turning towards us pauses to see five of the girls aggravated faces excepted for Twilights. Spike didn't look to pleased either.

"So... anyone what to explain the history or do me and eagle have to stay in the dark in this?"

"Oh there's plenty to be said partner!"

"Yeah Trixie we haven't forgotten about what you did to everypony back in ponyville!"

"Girls..."

"Yeah you big bully what's the big idea!"

"Girls..."

"Well darling I hope your satisfied!"

"My poor animals we're scared to death you know!"

"Girls!"

Twilight had been trying to get her friends attention but had to shout over them to silence them.

"If I may, I'd like to have my input spoken now."

The girls fell silent still with aggravated expressions, Trixie hung her head low with shame waiting to hear what the newly crowned princess Twilight Sparkle had to say. In Twilights position of power she could punish her in any way she wanted. Why did I feel this wasn't gonna be the case after seeing Equestria girls.

"Trixie, you came to our town and boasted about your magical abilities, to try and prove yourself superior over other ponies, you also harmed my friends to do so. Your boasting also encouraged snips and snails to find an ursa major but by some chance they actually found an ursa minor. Which I had to deal with. You ran off only to return sometime later to steal the alicorn amulet, force me from my home and friends and incase ponyville in a magic dome of some sort. I then must return later to defeat you and remove the power hunger inducing amulet. Then after all you've done you come to me when nopony else is around and simply say, 'I'm sorry I was just so jealous' and run away.

Trixie wasn't handling this situation well. Head still hung low and facing away. Shining had a look of disbelief, I guess he never was informed of this until now. Aside from his shock, Bowen's look of surprise and the girls and spikes death stares .

"But I forgive you."

"WHAT!" The rest of the group shouts in surprise.

I knew it. I can honestly say I wasn't surprised. I knew how twilight was after seeing her forgive Sunset Shimmer, if she was forgiving enough to forgive her after trying to take over Equestria with a small army of brainwashed teens then she was more than forgiving enough to give Trixie a second chance. So I stand, arms crossed smiling on the inside.

"Even though your actions were extreme to say the least, you had the courage to admit what had been bothering you and confronted me about it and apologized. Being with my friends has taught me to love and tolerate no matter what. So I extend an offer to you, you can stay with us and redeem yourself, or you can go off into the world to do whatever it was you were doing. The choice is yours."

We all stand for what seems like an eternity, waiting for Trixie to reply. An uneasy feeling now coming over me, not really sure what to expect out of Trixie.

"*Sniff*..Yes!"

Finally some relief I thought to myself! Physically smiling on the outside, I nod my head in approval at her choice.

"Then I and I'm sure my friends, welcome you back with open hooves!"

"Oh thank you twilight, thank you! I swear I'll make up for every thing I've done!"

Trixie and Twilight move closer and embrace in a hug, full happiness, rainbows and gumdrop smiles! Or some such bullshit, I don't know. Anyway everything was cool now. After a few moments of lovey-dovey hugs they let go of each other. Twilight looks to her posy behind her for their position on this agreement. They all exchange glances before perking up smiles of their own.

"Well Twi, I don't know what degree of bad somepony has to reach before they're unforgivable for ya, but if you think she can be trusted and turned around for the better, I guess we best be stick'n with your judgment then, girls?"

"Well it wasn't cool when she electrocuted me, but I can't hold a grudge forever so we're cool now!"

"Even if she was mean I can still find a way to make her very nice and smile smile smile so me to!"

"You always have my support dearie, of course I'll forgive her!"

"Well my animals were frightened for awhile, but its ok, fear go's away with time."

"Twily, your love and tolerance is beyond my comprehension, but its one of the reasons why I love you so much. I'll let it slip."

"As your number one assistant, I am always by your side Twilight! So what the hey, I'll give her another shot!"

"Then its settled, Trixie you are here by excused of all past actions and welcomed with open hooves!"

"Oh my gosh thank you girls thank you!"

Trixie rushed the group with joyful tears streaming down her cheeks, her sudden action was met with what you'd expect. All the girls gather around Trixie in a big group hug, leaving us four guys out in the cold.

"Wow! Bowen finally speaks up. And when were you going to fill me in on this!"

The girls all look to Bowen who's arms were now crossed with a wide-eyed expression. They all let go of Trixie as she starts to shuffle around a bit, likely trying to think of an answer that can at least sound somewhat reasonable as to why she wouldn't tell him that she's practically an outlaw for what she's done.

"Well...eventually." She reply's, head tilted down towards the left looking away.

"Ah don't feel to bad about it, I thought about leaving you to your fate with the arachnidcats when they attacked the wagon."

"Oh gee thanks, I that makes me feel so special!"

"Hey you would thought about it to bitch!"

"What in Equestria does bitch mean anyway!?"

"Whoa hey cool down there you to!" I step in thinking this could lead to a heated argument.

"Relax dude, its just how our relationship works, we been going back and forth like this sense we met a day ago."

"Oh ok have at it then. *Stomach Grumbling* As soon as we find a place to eat, speaking of which any of you girls know a place in town?"

"Follow us big guy!" Rainbow Dash flies quickly up to my side, grabbing my right arm with both hooves.

"Ok slow down, slow down!" I beg as she nearly drags me to the ground.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We arrived at the place they had talked somewhat about along the way. It looked like a café of some sort. I just hope they served more than vegetables, I got lucky that the palace had a griffin in case of a other fellow meat eaters arriving on political business, I'll be lucky if there's a wheat product anywhere that isn't junk food. There was a open table with an umbrella to block the suns rays while costumers ate. We all take a seat and wait for a waiter or waitress to ask if we we're ready to order. Of course me and Bowen were now at each others side like always when we sit together, Rainbow and Trixie at our opposite sides. I can already tell that he and her must have some pretty good connections judging by his story on how the came to meet. Bowen apparently had been dropped somewhere out in the woods, he started to walk in one chosen direction. Getting beat up by nature along his journey, he encountered an hedge with thorns all along is walls, I asked how the hell he found a hedge in the middle of the woods. To which he replied "I asked myself the same damn thing when I saw it!" He said that he had forced himself through it despite how painful it felt, then plummeted down a hillside as soon as he made it through, hitting his head on a stone along the way down knocking himself out. Then after an unknown amount of time, Trixie had apparently stumbled across his seemingly lifeless body. What cracked us all up is that she had apparently poked him with a stick to wake him up! I swear she is the crocodile hunter of Equestria! Back to present, I pick up a menu lying in front of my seat and begin to surf through the pages hoping to find food edible to me and Bowen. To our luck there was plenty of food as such. Only down side of not having any meat products at all.

"At least they have typical breakfast foods." I say nudging Bowen's shoulder.

"Yeah, mite have to go cold turkey on meat for awhile."

"Hey at least you guys don't have to eat meat to survive." Dash says probably trying to make us feel better about losing a favored part of our diets.

"Yeah well meat was tasty to us, but until we figure out a way to get some other than being at the palace, we're gonna have to role." Bowen reply's.

"So I'm just gonna have toast with pancakes."

"Yeah same for me."

The girls declare what they intend on eating before a unicorn stallion in a waiters outfit trots over our way.

"Hello may I take..."

The Stallion paused when he noticed me and Bowen sitting amongst the girls. Not out of place in anyway so I totally didn't know why.

"Oh my..its you!" The stallion said pointing a hoof at me.

"I'm sorry?" I question the awe struck Stallion.

"Your the one from the papers!"

"Papers!?"

"Yes, look here!"

The unicorn stallion levitated a newspaper from a nearby stand and set in front of me at our table. I look at the series of pictures printed on the paper, to see myself locked in battle with the Changeling queen. Multiple snapshots of me hitting her in various ways, almost like whom ever had taken them left out the parts when I got hit, seems like somepony was trying to glorify me. The aftermath of the Battle of Canterlot as the heading would say, apparently this unknown pony snapped a photo from behind me after I holstered my ulacks, the guard ponies staring at me and Chrysalis. She was dead at my feet, on her left side not facing the way the photo was taken, leaving what I had done to her naturally censored. They even had a picture of me when I had her severed horn in my grasp. "I see." I didn't have to look up from the newspaper to know everypony and Bowen were looking at me.

"Damn dude, what did you do to her?"

"I made sure she got what was coming to her."

"Shit, I hope you did, no tolerance for tyrants!"

"Damn striate son HOOAH!"

I bro fist Bowen and return my attention back to our waiter.

"Anyway did you have something to say about those photos?" I was expecting him to call me murder even after what the Changelings did at the royal wedding, and a day ago. Canterlot being the home to the snobs of equestrian society.

"Yes, I don't know who or what you are, but thank you and the guard for protecting our homes and families!"

I had growing feeling of happiness inside of me at his words, to know your work and sacrifice of lives was at least appreciated by those you protected.

"Hey thanks for the Kind words man, me and my buddy Captain Shining Armor here really appreciate hearing you say that."

"Oh no please, let me just say that we the citizens owe you and the guard a dept. of gratitude Sirs!"

"Again thank you, but me and my friends here are a little hungry so can we have take our orders?"

"Yes of course, what would you like to order!"

We all place our orders and start chit chatting to pass the time.

"So anyone got an explanation for how unicorn magic works?"

Twilight's face lit up at the chance for a intelligent explanation. But before she could say anything I cut her off to put out what I had to say about the topic first.

"Hey before anypony says anything about it I just want to say that I am immune. Ok you can say what you were going to say now Twilight."

Before she could speak she was cut off again, this time it was Bowen who had.

"Bullshit!"

"No I'm serous!"

"Naw I'm calling bullshit!"

"Why!?"

"Because after my leg got cut by one of those manticores and I ran like hell, Trixie was able to at least heal the big ass gash in it to an extent!"

"Ok now I'm calling bull shit because when I was fighting in the Battle of Canterlot, queen Chrysalis shot me with some magic death bolt and it didn't do jack!"

"Ok so lets just say we're both telling the truth on our parts. How come I was able to be healed with what power Trixie had at the time, but when you get hit by death bolts nothing happens!?"

"Ok now that's a good ass question! Hey one of you girls and or Shining Armor know and ranged attack spells?"

"Well me and Twily do but..."

"Ok hit me!"

"What!?"

I get up from my seat and walk to the middle of the lowly populated area in the street. I extend my arms out to my sides and ask one of my unicorn friends to hit my with a bolt. Twilight hesitantly gets up from her seat and nervously trots at a slow pace until she is facing me. I can see a little sweat forming around her fore-head, I knew she would be nervous when she was the one who got up to try something like this. I mean who would want to shoot at their friend with a gun and or magic. "Twilight is fine, I promise it won't hurt me." She takes a deep breath and wipes head clean of the sweat that had been forming, her horn lights up with a purple glow and within a few moments discharges.

Also within that time frame my brain had an evil idea! When the bolt hit me dead center in the chest I fall onto my left side and put my arms where it made contact."Ahhhh it burns!" I howl pretending to be in pain, and I got the reaction I was looking for. The girls gasped in horror and the guys aside from Bowen screamed "OH NO!" as for Bowen his was more along the lines of "OH SHIT!" Bowen and Shining were the first and only ones to get up and rush over to me. At this point in time I was laughing my ass off at everponies response! As soon as they both realize this they stop dead in their tracks with the surprised facial expressions that said, "You dirty little fucker!" The other girls took notice a well and sighed in relief. Dash and AJ were smiling a little at a joke well done, Rarity was waving a hoof to cool herself down. Spike at her side hammer fisting the table in his own laughter "Oh wow, you really had us!" , Pinkie was laughing to but not like Spike. Her laughs were more rapid to the point where she was snorting, followed be her asking "What are we laughing at, I don't get it?"

But when I looked at Fluttershy and Twilight I felt like the biggest dick. Fluttershy was shaking wildly with her hooves over here eyes, whimpering. Twilight was relatively the same, sitting on the ground in front of me, Bowen and Shining Armor, she was shaking wildly with her face buried in her fore-hooves crying uncontrollably. "I'm s-so s-sorry!" She managed to sniff out. It was still funny as shit to me but I may have gone to far with my act. I get back to my feet with the support of Bowen pulling me up with a extended hand. "Dude you made her cry you bully!" He says in a jokingly criticizing way. "Oh Jesus!" I quickly walk over to her dropping to one knee and grabbing her into a hug, feeling guilty as ever. "Hey its ok Twilight I was only faking it!" She doesn't look up nor stop sobbing. I slowly and gently start rocking side to side while rubbing her back, taking care to not touch her wings. Trying not to snicker as I do so. I continue to rock her back and forth, side to side, she starts to calm down. I repeat myself when I whisper softly "I'm sorry, it was a bad joke." After a minute of doing so, she moves her hooves from her eyes and sniffs, giving me big puppy dog eyes. "You ok now?" I ask real sweet like. "Yes, I'm fine." She reply's with a small smile. Oh she has such a big heart! I rise back to my feet, holding her left hoof hind my right hand to assist back onto her other hooves. I direct her back to her seat and then return to mine, now that everypony was calm.

"Ok we all know now that I can't be harmed by magic for a fact now, so Bowen I don't know how you apparently can be affected my its power, so lets speculate on how this works."

"Alright so you've clearly shown that you're immune to magic when its intended to be harmful, when magic was used on me it had the intent of healing. Maybe there has to be some sort of consent to it?"

"Consent?" I question.

"Yeah, like mentally."

"You mean like how you wouldn't want a magic death bolt to harm you but you would want magic to heal you!"

"Yeah like that!"

"But wait, I wanted Twilight to hit me with a bolt of her own, but then again that actually furthers your point because even though I wanted her to but at the same time I still didn't want it to hurt! So we may have control over magic as far as that go's!"

"Dude this is awesome!"

"But that doesn't explain how I punched a hole though a brick wall!"

That comment by me left us silent as the waiter returns with a large tray in his magical grasp holding our orders of food. "Your orders sirs and madams!" The waiter levitates the dishes that rest on the surface of the large tray and sets them neatly in front of us, along with the silverware. He then bows his head and trots away. "Lets dig in, I've been living off of poptarts and need something yummy in my tummy, like my eggroll here!" Bowen declares to us. We do just that, but their was the question in my head still. If I can punch a hole through a brick wall, what else can I do? My thoughts were interrupted by Dash speaking up to Twilight. "Hey Twilight I've been thinking, you haven't really been using your wings sense you got them, how about after we're done here we go find someplace and work on your flying?" Twilight finishes what she's chewing on and swallows. "Sure Rainbow Dash, that sounds fun!"

"Hey that's my eggroll, you touch it you die!"

"Oh hush you barbarian!" I hear Trixie retort.
