"Ughh... What the hell happened?" Carmine wondered as he regained consciousness. He had no idea how long he's been out cold. He looked down and noticed two knocked out ponies. Dark Spear the royal guard commander and Twilight Sparkle. Slowly he started remembering the events that occured earlier. "That evil bitch!" He said.

It appears they're underground. Definitly in a cave. There was barely any light. Just the twinkling of crystals and distants rays of sunlight from the ceiling. The COG soldier started kicking the royal guard commander. "Hey wake up dude."

"Hmmmppppmmmmggg... Huh what?" Dark Spear's dreams were rudely interupted. "By Celestia! What are we doing here?"

"I don't know. Green demonic flames. Evil magical pony. Remember?" Carmine said.

"I know that! But this is the cave beneath Canterlot. It's been abandoned for decades. Just a few know of this place."

"Okay... do you know a way out?"

"I said it's been abandoned for years. I've never been here."

"Oh right..."

"Anyway. Let's wake her up." Dark Spear knew Twilight Sparkle was an outstanding student in the teachings of magic. Surely her magical abilities could help them out. Or at least provide some more lighting. The situation was looking bad and Dark Spear had only one duty. Protect the princess at all cost. And he wouldn't be able to do that from here.

"Uhh Ms. Sparkle." He gently poked he purple unicorn attempting to wake her up.

"EEEEEVIIIL!" Twilight shouted as she regained consciousness. "Wait... where are we?"

Dark Spear had to regain his stature as he got startled from the sudden shouting by the unicorn. "Uhh... We're in the cave beneath Canterlot. It seems princess Cadenze has trapped us in here."

"Ha! I told you all from the beginning she was evil." Twilight bragged, but then she realised how serious the situation was. Her brother, her friends, the princess and all ponies in Canterlot were in great danger. And Discord wasn't the one behind it this time. She couldn't believe her old foalsitter had become like this. It just didn't seem possible. But it was a reality. Princess Cadence is evil and must be stopped.

"Okay. Let's get the hell out of here." Carmine started searching for possible paths to lead them outside again. But everything seemed sealed off. Nothing but giant crystals blocking their path.

"By Celestia. There must be a way out." Dark Spear said.

"Shhh... Be quiet." Twilight Sparkle could've sworn she heard something from behind a certain crystal. She tapped her hoof on it a few times. It was hollow. There was definitely something behind it.

"Stand back!" The purple unicorn said as she prepared to blast their way in. A purple aura started surrounding her horn and eventually released a laser like beam. Blowing a hole into the crystal formation.

"Ah-hah! We found you!" Twilight shouted as she immediatly spotted a terrifying looking princess Mi Amore Cadenze cowering behind some rocks.

"Twilight! It's me! You have to help me please!" Cadence begged but seemed happy to see the purple unicorn.

"Yeah right!" Twilight rushed over and slammed the pink alicorn to the ground. "Like I'm helping you corrupting my brother even further!"

"That's right Twilight! You hold her down and I'll cut her up!" Carmine shouted from behind them, preparing his chainsaw.

"No wait please!" The pink alicorn was terrified. "The Cadence that you met is an imposter! She imprisoned me just like you three!"

"Ha! Likely story!" Twilight said still forcing Cadence down to the ground.

"Sunshine. Sunshine. Ladybugs awake."

"Clap your hooves and do a little shake."

Even though Cadence wasn't able to perform the ridiculous dance that came with the song, Twilight immediatly knew this was the REAL Cadence.

"You remember me!" Twilight was overjoyed.

"Of course I do. How could I forget the filly I loved to sit for the most." Cadence said.

"So wait... This pink pony isn't evil?" Carmine asked.

"Who is your... friend?" Cadence asked Twilight. She had never seen a human before.

"Oh this is Mr. Carmine. He's a human that lives with us in Ponyville for the moment. He was hired by Princess Celestia to guard the wedding."

"Yo." Carmine was still confused.

Twilight who was glad to see that the Cadence from before is an imposter and not the pony she remembered. Still, she didn't know what the fake Cadence's intentions were. Apart from stealing her brother of course. She decided to question her old foalsitter.

"Then who is this other Cadence?" She asked.

"Her real name is Chrysalis. She's a changeling and queen to her subjects. Their kind are able to feed on the love of anypony and are able to take their physical forms."

"Wait what... There's more villains in Equestria? You mean this isn't Discord again?" Carmine wondered.

"I don't think Discord has anything to do with this. But we still have to save my brother and my friends! It doesn't matter from what." Twilight stated.

"Heh. My brothers might be long dead now. Let's make sure yours won't follow." Carmine said determined.

"I live to serve the princess. Her safety comes before my own. We must leave this wretched cave at once and reveal the imposter to everypony." Dark Spear remained vigilant.

"My Shining Armor... Is he alright?" Cadence asked the royal guard commander. She already knew who he was. Shining Armor was a busy stallion, and was often discussing ideas with the pegasus commander.

"Apart from the fact you just told me there's somepony feeding on his love. He's looking pretty fine to be honest. Complained about migraines though, but I thought it would be natural after using such a powerful spell." Dark Spear mentioned the barrier. But now he noticed those small details he missed. Maybe he could've prevented all of this. But it's too late for that now.

"Alright. Let's go!" The alicorn, unicorn, pegasus and human started blasting more random holes in the crystal room. Soon another opening appeared and they ventured forward. Eventually they'll find a way out.

They were not aware there was something more lurking deep down the cave underneath Canterlot.

Celestia was feeling troubled. She hadn't seen her prize pupil Twilight Sparkle all day. Sure, she acted out of place the other day. But Twilight would always eventually do the right thing. Celestia was certain she would.

And another thing bugged her. Ulfgar hadn't shown up for his duties since yesterday. Nopony knew where he was. And now Carmine mysteriously dissapeared as well. Luckily the one known as Heavy weapons guy remained loyal to his job. The Russian was currently with Applejack and Pinkie Pie.

There weren't any signs of Discord's possible attack on Canterlot. Thank goodness. Celestia continued wandering through her palace and eventually got closer to her sister's quarters. Often they'd share their wisdom. Maybe Luna had the same troubled feelings. She decided to meet up with her sister.

Celestia started nearing Luna's room but then suddenly noticed a tall skinny human walking in his underwear through the palace halls. Oddly enough he was still wearing a hat and sunglasses.

"G'day mate!" He said as he passed.

"Well good day to you as well fine sir." Celestia said. It's always nice to see humans being polite.

"... Wait a minute." Celestia stopped walking and turned around. "Who are you?" She asked flabbergasted.

"Oh. I'm Sniper. Nice to meet ya." He said with a thick Australian accent.

"Snoipah?" Celestia wasn't able to hear his name properly.

"Sniper..." He said more British this time.

"Right... Then may I ask why there's an unknown human wandering through my castle halls?

"Oi. I didn't ask for this. I was just fine relaxing in the forest. Some loud-mouthed dark pony dragged me over here."

"My sister?"

"Yeah I guesss so." Sniper was certain this was the other princess Derpy spoke about. He already spotted her once before, and the crown made it even more obvious.

"Sniper! What are you doing?" A voice suddenly shouted from behind them.

"Ms. Hooves?" Celestia said confused as the grey pegasus appeared next to her.

"I'm so sorry princess! Sniper!" Derpy yelled at the Australian. "I know that ponies don't wear clothing all the time. But from what I can figure humans don't do the same! Hide your shame!"

"Oh crikey. I was just looking for a bloody bathroom. Already found another jar and filled it if ya know what I mean."

"And another thing! You keep saying you're a professional and that you have standards. But that now seems awfully hypocritical seeing as your job requires you to throw... urine at ponies!"

"What?!" Celestia responded shocked.

"Oi! It was a godhonest mistake. And my jobs involves a lot more than just throwing piss at people. I'm a bloody professional."

"I don't care! Apologize to the princess right now!"

"What? What did I do?"

"Just apologize!" Derpy demanded.

"Ughh... I'm sorry princess." Sniper took of his hat.

Celestia's brain was full of questions. She didn't understand the situation one bit. Another human? Does this mean Discord did infiltrate them? No... He seemed genuinely nice. A bit weird though, and Celestia sensed no anger or corrupting in him. But then why is he here? And why is Derpy here?

"Can somepony please explain to me what's going on?" Celestia asked.

"Allow us to answer your questions!" The princess of the night arrived next.

"Luna! What is the meaning of all this?"

"You there! Show the human to the bathroom and leave us in private!" Luna asked Derpy in her royal Canterlot voice.

"R-right away princess!" Derpy left and dragged the BLU Sniper along with her.

"Can you please explain to me why you've brought a human and citizen into your quarters?" Celestia asked.

"Ah yes. I found the human yesterday, prowling in the forests. After some... unfortunate incidents it appears that he's not one of Discord's minions."

"Then why is he here?"

"I do think he was sent by him after all. He told of that he arrived with his colleagues here in Equestia. The ones that tried to destroy Ponyville. It appears he resisted Discord's corruption, just like the other three humans."

"Then why isn't he with them?"

"Yes... That's what I asked at first. But he is from the same world as the one known as Heavy. And appareantly he's his greatest enemy."

"Then isn't it dangerous to have him around? If they're truly enemies, would they not attempt to to harm each other?"

"He said that by killing him, his colleagues back home might get in more trouble."

"Then you told him of how he could return?"

"I did. But he seemed set out for revenge. He holds a grudge against Discord for corrupting his friends. He decided to stay on his own will."

Celestia understood the situation slightly better now. Luna had appareantly met this human hiding in the forest and found out of his intentions. And seeing as the RED Heavy might hold a grudge against Sniper, she decided to hide him in her part of the castle. Where nopony is allowed except Celestia and Luna. But if the BLU Sniper had truly decided to stay on his own will, he could become another powerful ally to Equestria. Finally some good news.

"But then why is Ms. Hooves here?" Celestia asked.

"Oh, she seems to have him under her control. I just thought it'd to be funny." Luna grinned.

Princess Cadence was rudely interupted during the middle of her song, which described her love for Shining Armor.

"No. Just don't do that anymore. Seriously..." Carmine begged.

"But why?" Cadence asked.

"You can't just spontaneously start singing. Really? We're in a serious situation here." Carmine was annoyed by the beatiful singing voice of princess Cadence.

"But that's how things go in Equestria. If the situations calls for it, we sing a song." Twilight said.

"I don't care. We have bigger things to worry about." Carmine hated spending time underground. Back on Sera there was nothing but bad things hiding in there.

"I agree with Carmine. We have no time for this. We need to see to the princess's safety as soon as possible." Dark Spear said.

Upon travelling further the group discovered a large mining cart. Just nearly big enough for the four of them to fit in. The spiralling tracks would either lead them further inside, or straight to an exit. They hoped for the second possibility.

"Are you sure about this?" Twilight asked as she used her magic to clear out the cart which was filled with some rocks.

"Pfft. I've seen baby rollercoasters more dangerous then this. I'm sure we'll be fine." Carmine said even though the cart looked as if it was in terrible condition.

"We have to try. I can't just sit here and do nothing while Shining Armor is being brainwashed!" Cadence said.

Carmine, Cadence and Twilight stepped in the cart. Dark Spear pushed the cart forward and quickly jumped in before it started riding in its full speed. The four were nearly thrown outside through the crazy turns and loops this ridiculous cart track led hem. Whoever designed this track was clearly insane.

"Oh great..." Carmine said as he noticed the tracks started coming to an end. Of course it's unfinished. Clearly nothing good will happen to them. The cart was launched in the air and the groups was thrown of the cart. Looking down on what seemed a bottomless pitt.

Princese Cadence who was an alicorn quicly spreak her wings and held Twilight Sparkle tightly before flying off to safer grounds with her.

Carmine could just watch the two fly off. Is this how he'd die? Falling from a mine cart? Seemed to follow the Carmine tradition of stupid deaths. He just closed his eyes and prepared for what was coming.

But Dark Spear. The pegasus royal guard commander immediatly rushed after him. He grabbed the COG soldier with his marshmallow hooves, but he was to heavy for him to lift. Carmine was at least three times the size of a normal pony plus he carried a ton of armor and weapons. But the pegasus was able to slow his fall a bit. The two eventually crashed on a ledge deep inside the seemingly bottomless pit.

"AH MY LEGS I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS AH!" Carmine shouted dramaticly upon landing.

"Oh buck! This isn't good!" Dark Spear responded worried.

"Nah, just kidding. I'm fine." Carmine just stood up again, laughing at the royal guard.

Dark Spear facehooved and just flew off again.

"Hey what the hell? Don't leave me here asshole!" Carmine shouted at the pegasus who just left without saying anything.

"Do you think they're alright?" Twilight asked her old foalsitter.

"I hope so... I can't hear them anymore." Cadence answered.

"Look there!" Twilight pointed at a higher platform in the cave. One extremely close to where the sunlight was entering. If they'd teleport there they might find a way out.

"Hmm..." Cadence felt hesitant towards leaving the commander and the human. But Shining Armor had to be saved.

But as the two prepared to teleport off they spotted the black pegasus flying back up.

"Is Carmine alright?" Twilight asked him.

"Yeah. He's down there. Annoying as always... But I can't lift him up by myself. I'll need some help." Dark Spear looked at princess Cadence.

"Fine. Twilight, you and Dark Spear go up there. Me and the human will join you soon." Cadence rushed down the pit to teleport herself and Carmine towards that higher point in the cave. Maybe something they should've done from the start.

But no time to worry about the past. Their way out was near and nothing could stop their determination to save Shining Armor and stop whatever Chrysalis had planned next.

Carmine got startled as the pink alicorn landed next to him. It was pretty dark so he didn't see her coming.

"Come quick human! We found a way out!" Cadence shouted right in his face.

"Ah! Oh uhh... How? Are you going to lift me out?"

"No, I'm going to teleport us... just sit still." Cadence prepared her spell.

"Wait wait!" Carmine stopped her. "I don't know. Teleporting sounds kinda sketchy to me. Grenades are one thing but myself... Oh no."

"There's no time for this. We need to get going right away!"

"Okay... Does teleporting hurt?" Carmine asked.

"Ughh..." Cadence rolled her eyes and teleported them off anyway. Much to Carmine's surpise.

"There. Was that so scary?" She asked when they arrived safely to where Twilight Sparkle and Dark Spear now resided.

"Don't just do that!" Carmine responded still shocked.

"Uhmm... You guys. We might have a problem..." Twilight said slightly disturbed.

"What? I'm going to see Shining Armor right away!" Cadence said. But as she turned around she saw three ponies in dresses. They had bright green glowing eyes. The fake princess Cadence's bridesmaids!

"You're not going anywhere." The three ponies said simultaneously with scary voices.

"Oh shit! Lyra's a zombie!" Carmine shouted upon seeing this.

"They're not zombies. They're corrupted by Chrysalis." Cadence told the group.

Yes. That's probably a more logical explanation. But they didn't have time to deal with this. The wedding could've started already.

"Just go." Carmine said. "I'll handle this."

"What? Are you sure?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, I'll finish this quickly and then I'll join you guys. You've got other things to worry about don't you? Go and help your brother alright?" Carmine wanted to help her the unicorn in any way possible. This seemed like the only way.

"Fine... Thank you Carmine." Twilight teleported herself and Dark Spear to the top of the cave. Close to the sunlight. Cadence followed immediatly. They saw a path leading upward. Definitly going outside.

"You can't kill them remember!" Twilight shouted at the COG soldier who remained further down.

"Yeah sure! Just freaking go." Carmine shouted.

Carmine started thinking of possibilities on how to recover these three 'zombie' ponies without permanently injuring them. He had some ideas.

The three ponies kept following the only available path. They just hoped they'd be on time. They had to stop the wedding no matter what.

After a good five minute sprint through the narrow pathway that led upward they finally arrived at something that resembled civilization. Well, they found an abandoned shack. Just outside Canterlot.

Just before the three stormed outside, Twilight couldn't help but notice two things.

The iron helmet Ulfgar always wore and the steel greatsword he dragged with him everywhere he went were just lying abandoned on the floor. The last time Twilight saw the dovakhiin was when he was alone with the fake Cadence. She hoped he was alright. But decided to take his blade and armor with her to the castle. Might come in handy. Who knows?

She levitated the dangerously large greatsword with her. And she had put on the helmet. It smelled terrible and was still soaking with the human's sweat. Something that would've bothered Twilight Sparkle if the situation were slightly different. But she didn't care. Saving Shining Armor was their top priority now.

Sniper upon hearing how he could return home hesitated for a while. Seemed awfully easy. But he was glad to know his team was safe and sound. But revenge will be his. Discord will learn he messed with the wrong mercenary.

So he decided to stick in Equestria for a while. Luna had offered him shelter in the actual bloody palace. Normally Sniper would decline such a thing. But with that crazy RED Heavy around he thought it'd to be for the best. At least for now. Here in Equestria he's just the Sniper's problem. But if he'd kill him right now, the RED Heavy would be a much greater problem to the BLU.

Now after meeting Celestia he felt slightly more comfortable. Sure, he's living with magical ponies of royalty. Thing's couldn't be more weird. But it's alot better then waking up in his van everyday. Or next to that annoying Scout and Soldier in their base. Nope, Sniper was going to relax for a while and pop some magical heads off.

The RED Heavy was just chilling here, so why not Sniper as well? He could return at any time. It's simple really.

"Anyway... I thought ya ponies had a big wedding today. Why aren't you there?" Sniper asked Luna.

"Well, somepony needs to provide security... With two of the human guards missing, an absent commander and a captain who's participating in the wedding there's just me left." Luna said peeking through the telescope.

"Crikey!" Sniper was surprised to hear Luna was able to speak normally as well. He had only heard her use the royal Canterlot speech.

"Hmm what's this?" Luna spotted something interesting. The wedding had already started and most civilians were actually participating. The town looked nearly deserted. But she noticed three ponies sprinting towards the wedding halls.

Twilight Sparkle holding a giant sword? Seems legit. Oh and there's the pegasus commander. Ah and lastly there is... princess Mi Amore Cadenze?

"What is this madness?" Luna said confused.

"Oi Sheila." Sniper put his arm on the princess's shoulder. "We might have a bigger problem."

Sniper pointed to the northwest. There they spotted a swarm of hundreds. No wait, literally thousands of flying insectoid pony-like creatures head towards Canterlot. If the shield were to fall, they were doomed. They had not excepted an attack of this scale. Luna knew what these were. Changelings. She heard of the stories and often read about them.

"It appears we have been tricked." Luna said. She realised the Cadence she just spotted was the real one. And the one getting married right now most likely an imposter. Which meant Shining Armor would be their target. If that's the case the barrier would cease to exist eventually.

"Let us brace ourselves. If they break through the barrier, we're the only ones standing between them and nearly everypony in Canterlot. I will protect them at all cost!" Luna said determined to defend her subjects.

"Thousands of creepers. Twenty bullets. Hardly seem fair eh? For them at least ha!" Sniper chuckled as he was eager to kick some ass.

Luna, Sniper and a handful of royal guards that remained stood ready to defend Equestria's capital city. Luna just hoped Twilight Sparkle would be able to reveal everything to Celestia in time. And where the buck are Ulfgar and Carmine?

The swarm of creatures had now arrived above the barrier and started simultaneously stomping on the purple force-field. Slowly but sure it started cracking.

"Pony Punch!" Carmine shouted as he gave Lyra a decent slap against her snout.

"OUCH! Hey, that hurts!" Lyra whined.

"Wow... I can't believe that worked. What a useless corruption." Carmine facepalmed.

The two other zombie ponies were still trying to poke Carmine to death or something. It was rather embarrassing.

"Huh? What happened?" Lyra asked, not remembering a thing what occured.

"Well. The thing ismmggmmhpp..." Carmine was interupted by a blue hoof in his mouth. He proceeded to use his new Pony Punch to release the two other bridesmaids from their corruption as well.

They woke up and had the same questions as Lyra. Didn't remember a thing. Suddenly got chosen bridesmaids even though they didn't knew the princess. And now they're in a cave. What a day.

Carmine prepared to explain. But was interupted as the entire cave started shaking and a terrifying roar echoed throughout the entire place. No... It wasn't a roar. It was more of a scream. A sound far to familiar to Clayton Carmine.

"I'll explain later. We need to get out of here RIGHT NOW!" He stated. "If that is what I think it is. We're in a buttload of trouble."

Lyra as she got terrified by the sudden roaring throughout the caverns, still prepared to teleport them out of there. She already spotted the same exit where Twilight and Cadence left. She prepared her spell.

Carmine didn't like teleporting. But if... that thing is down there, he wouldn't wanna stick around here.

Discord was watching. Not for long, but he was watching. He had no clue what was going on. After he found out about the barrier, he decided to infiltrate them from underneath. Genius right? But there was more happening in Canterlot.

Chaos. But not caused by him. Discord was unsure if he liked this or not. But this is still a part of the games. The finale is yet to come. He'd never forgive anyone interupting his fun.

"Princess Cadence and Shining Armor. It is my great pleasure to pronounce you.." Celestia was about to marry the two but was interupted just in time.

"Stop!" Twilight Sparkle bucked in the door once again and dropped the blade and helmet she was carrying on the floor.

Everypony still looked at her as if she was crazy. Her friends were indeed the new bridesmaids. But they'll learn the truth now.

"Ughh... Why is she being so protective over her brother." The fake Cadence said. Celestia frowned at her. "I mean... Why does she have to ruin my special day." She started whining.

"Because it's not your special day! It's mine." The real Cadence entered the chambers. Everypony gasped. Heavy just thought he was seeing double.

"A-ah don't understand. How can there be two of 'em?" Applejack asked to nopony in particular.

"She's a changeling. She takes the form of somepony you love and gains power by feeding off your love for them!" Cadence said.

The fake Cadence gave one final evil glare towards everypony. But decided this charade took long enough. Now is the time to reveal herself. Everything went according to plan.

A green beam of magic started engulfing the fake Cadence. She grew larger. Her coat became extremely dark grey. Her wings became more insect like. Her legs were filled with holes. She grew a long teal mane, and to end things she had terrifying green eyes and actual fangs. This was one mean looking pony that's for sure. She was now Chrysalis, queen of the changelings.

She was about the same height as Celestia. But her horn was at least twice the size of any normal unicorn. It was also twisted in an unnatural way.

"Right you are, princess." Chrysalis started chuckling. "And as queen of the changelings, it is up to me to find food for my subjects. Equestria has more love than any place we've ever encountered. My fellow changelings will be able to devour so much of it that we will gain more power than we have ever dreamed of!"

"They'll never get the chance! Shining Armor's protection spell will keep them from ever even reaching us." But as Cadence looked at her fiancé she noticed he was completely under Chrysalis's control.

"I see you already understand the situation. The shield grows weaker every second. And my subjects are already prepared to strike."

"No... Shining Armor." Cadence sadness took over after seeing they were to late. Is there any hope left?

"Soon my armies will break through! First, we take Canterlot. And then, all of Equestria!" Chrysalis ended with her evil laughter.

"No. You won't." Celestia said determined. "You may have made it impossible for Shining Armor to perform his protection spell, but now that you have so foolishly revealed your true self, I can protect my subjects from you!" She then rushed over and clashed horns with the changeling queen.

The two prepared for epic battle. A light show that made everypony gasp. But things were bad. Everyone already noticed the barrier breaking. So did the RED Heavy. He was the only one here to protect the ponies as Celestia was busy battling the imposter. Heavy understood all of this. This was their fight, he then picked up his dispenser and started heading outside.

"Where do you think you're going?" Dark Speak who arrived with Twilight and Cadence asked the Russian.

"Little black ponies will break shield soon. But Heavy will guard this place. No one will enter alive." Heavy said determined to destroy the entire army of changelings on his own. They're just little evil ponies. Not a problem right? He put down his dispenser and guarded the entrance. Everyone that wanted to enter had to go past him.

Dark Spear decided to let the human go. It was actually some smart thinking of him. "Surely the princess herself can handle..." Dark Spear stopped as he saw the magic of Chrysalis overpower Celestia. Burning her horn and causing her to drop her crown. Everypony once again gasped.

"Ha! Shining Armor's love for Cadence is even stronger than I thought! Consuming him has made me even more powerful than Celestia!" Chrysalis laughed once again.

"Princess Celestia!" Twilight Sparkle and her friends immediatly rushed over to the defeated princess.

"The elements of harmony... get to them and use their powers to defeat the queen." Celestia told her subjects.

"You didn't think I'd let you leave so easily now did you?" Chrysalis chuckled.

"Don't listen to her. We have to get the elements!" Twilight and her friends ran past the queen heading towards the exit.

"Stop them!" Chrysalis shouted.

Then suddenly, blocking the ponies path appeared Ulfgar the fearless, who was appareantly hiding in the ceiling this entire time. He did not look normal to say the least.

Instead of his own trusted greatsword he was now wielding two smaller blades. Black and green of color they slightly resembled Chrysalis's horn.

His face, usually covered by his helmet was now still covered mostly by his long brown hair. His normal blue eyes were now glowing bright green of corruption. Still covered in the same dirt since he arrived in Equestria and with unshaven beard he looked terrifying. Even to the mane six.

"None shall pass." The corrupted dovakhiin stated while pointing his blades at the ponies.

"This isn't good at all..." Twilight said.

"Shit shit shit!" Carmine and the bridesmaids had finally found the exit. But what they saw back in the caverns was not something pretty. Not at all. And the situation seemed kind of messed up here as well. There were literally thousands of bug-ponies stomping on the barrier. It was extremely close to breaking now.

But there! In the distance, There's princess Luna and some guards. Carmine had to warn them.

"Yo! YOOOOO!" Carmine started flapping his arms around to get their attention. "We got a situation going o... who the hell are you?"

"G'day mate. Name's Sniper." Sniper said welcoming the COG soldier.

"Shit man, I'm Carmine. No time for introductions. We got a big ass ugly on its way here." Carmine explained as simple as he was able.

"Oi. Ya see those thousands of creepers on the roof over there? That's our problem right now." Sniper said.

"No, What I saw was much MUCH more dangerous, even ten million insect ponies can't compare." Carmine might've exaggerated a little.

But then, right on queue the ground beneath them started shaking.

"An earthquake?" Luna asked.

"Oh you wish..." Carmine was worried.

The ground beneath them started collapsing now. A giant hole was created and the terrifying screams of an unknown creature could be heard. It seemed to emerge from hell itself. It then went silent for a second.

But at that moment the barrier Shining Armor created shattered into bits. The changelings immediatly started flying past Carmine and Sniper's group, and started heading towards the RED Heavy. Who was guarding the stairwell leading up to the wedding halls. With his dispenser of course.

"We have to stop them!" Luna shouted and prepared to take off.

But then suddenly a boulder was thrown from the giant hole in the ground in the middle of Canterlot. The large rock crashed just a few meters away from the group. Next they could hear the terrifying screams of the unknown creature again.

"FUCK IT! RUN!" Carmine shouted and started pulling everypony he was able with him. Sniper had no idea what was going on but followed him. Luna took off to the skies. But one foolish royal guard pony remained and started inspecting the collapsed grounds. This was the greatest mistake of his life.

A giant blade like tentacle emerged from the hole and pulled the unknowing guard inside. Next his screams of terror could be heard. And his blood followed shortly after.

"What is this monstrosity?" Luna was shocked to see one of her guards getting slaughtered like it was nothing by this creature that refused to reveal itself.

"Welcome to my world." Carmine sighed.
