Previous Chapter Next Chapter

"How long has it been... I dont even remember. Days became weeks. Weeks became months and the months became years, locked up in a strange world. The pony named Twilight Sparkle...She told me about their leader, Princess Celestia. A supposedly incredible powerful 'Alicorn' who was the definition of goodness. But it couldnt be more false. Even Colonel Hoffman seemed like a wuss next to her. She was a tyrannical dictator that would if things didnt go her way, she would execute you on the spot. Me, Ulfgar and Heavy had been spared this faith. But even since that faithful day we've been locked up here in this dark dungeon. Shackled to the walls, surrounded in darkness. These murderous, psycho ponies would only feed us the remains of I can guess to be rotten rat corpses. Still better then the what we ate in the war though. I can still hear the screams of fear and agony echo through the thick dungeon walls. These brutes... They're torturing more innocent ponies! how can they be this cruel? Will it ever stop? Will I ever taste delicious bacon again? And what about my.."

"Can you please shut up?" The dovakhiin interupted the COG soldier as he stared at him awkwardly.

"Shut up man, I'm just getting to the good part." Carmine answered.

"Yes...uhh...And will I ever hold my puppy Spot again. How many years has it been now? He must be a big d..."

"FOR TALOS SAKE! we've only been here for twenty minutes!" Ulfgar interupted him once again and was incredibly annoyed. Carmine just continued.

"The darkness...It's changed me. I cant even remember what daylight looks. I havent seen the sun since the day I was dragged to this accursed pla..."

"WE'RE NOT EVEN IN A BLOODY DUNGEON, ITS A GUEST CHAMBER! THERE'S A WINDOW RIGHT THERE!" the dragonborn shouted.

"And...uhh..uhhm........"

"Well thanks alot Ulfgar. You ruined my inner monologue." Carmine finally stopped. "Are you happy now?"

"Yes. YES! if you finally keep your mouth closed. By the gods, how do you come up with such nonsense!" Ulfgar finally calmed down.

"Dunno, im just bored since we just spend an hour on that stupid carriage and almost another half hour here." Carmine answered.

"I do not like it here. Tiny golden ponies try and take Sasha from me." Heavy sat on a chair this whole time, tightly gripping his mini-gun.

The truth is the three humans arrived here in Canterlot just a while ago. They were escorted by the Royal Guard to the Castle but through specific closed off paths blocking any interaction with the civilians. Most likely because they were scary looking they guessed.

When they had arrived at the castle, the guards nicely asked the if the humans could hand over their weapons just as a standard procedure to ensure the safety of the princess. The humans obviously declined, and the guards decided not to ask further when Heavy started spouting dangerous sounding insults in his native tongue. The trio was now awaiting an audience with the ruler of Equestria herself. Princess Celestia.

"You may enter now." One of the Royal Guards then led them to the royal chambers where the trio of humans stood eye-to-eye with Princess Celestia. They could tell right away as her appearance seemed fitting hold such an important title. She was atleast twice as large nearly anypony they'd met untill now, yet still slightly smaller then the humans. Her body was of a bright snow-white color. She had a long elegant multi-colored mane and tail that seemed to wave naturally. Her eyes looked kind, thoughtful and honest. She was accompanied by another dark blue-shaded pony. Much smaller. She also had a mane, dark as the night, that seemed to have a life on it own. She seemed absent. The dovakhiin was amazed these ponies had both wings and magical horns. The guard that escorted the humans in now left, the chamber was empty. Just three humans and two royal ponies remained.

"Alright guys, let me do the talking." Carmine stepped away from the group and towards the sun princess. "Sup." he said.

The blue pony suddenly jumped up and started shouting. "Thou dare speaketh common tongue to royalty! how admirable, but foolish!"

"Woah, chill out man. I have no idea what the hell is even going on."

"Are you not aware that you face the princesses of both the sun and the moon!"

"Yeah... moon?, I was told vaguely I guess, im sorry."

"Thou should learn and respect your..." The blue pony was stopped by Princess Celestia.

"Please Luna, lets not make this an unpleasant meeting." The white alicorn whom Twilight Sparkled praised so much spoke in a sweet and trustworthy voice. She rose up from her throne and approached the humans. "Tell me, what brings three strange talking creatures to our land?"

"We didnt just come here, we uhh...just woke up here today."

"He's lying sister!" Luna shouted.

"You should tell us the truth. Then we might be able to help you." Celestia was calm.

"Well uhh...okay, but you're probably gonna think we're crazy. But we all uhh...kinda died and then really just woke up here." Carmine realised how ridiculous it sounded.

"Njet, I did not die. I was taken." Heavy suddenly stepped in.

"What? and you didnt tell us that?" The COG soldier was shocked.

"You did not ask, but there was strange monster. That is all I remember. It went to fast." The Russian responded.

"Could it have been the same Daedric Prince that was responsible for my death?" The dovakhiin now also joined the conversation. "Carmine, how did you die?"

"....I uhh...dont remember." He looked away.

"It seems to me you're having trouble explaining to me what has happened. Luckily I know just the thing for that. Could you three please step forward?" Celestia smiled genuinely.

The three humans stepped forward without hesitation. The sun princess approached them as her horn started glowing bright yellow.

The princess now wandered through the three humans minds, revealing their past events. She immediatly felt sick when she saw Carmine and more humans around him fight horrible mutated monsters. The corpses of other humans reduced to ashen statues by their own weapons. She saw the endless amounts of death in a nearly destroyed planet. Celestia felt disgusted. But next to all the slaughter and destruction caused by Carmine, she saw him with his brothers as a loving family together. Only to be torn apart by more death.

In Ulfgar's mind she saw him fighting bandits, swatting them down like flies without any remorse. There were dragons, more ferocious looking then Celestia had ever seen. She saw the human use strange magic commanded by his voice to help him in battle, where he would slay countless of dragons. The sun princess saw some good in him as she saw the Nords of Skyrim cheering for him after his victory on Alduin. He then declared himself to be the protector of Skyrim and serve no king, no leader. But just the land and its people.

In Heavy's mind there was nothing but death. And not just any deaths. He was burned, blown to bits, shot, decapitated and all his bones crushed when he fell of a cliff. Only just to be rebuild again in thirty seconds and die again. The pain was real, the princess couldnt imagine living in this mad world. She saw the Russian murder as well. Countless of times, he destroyed atleast nine other humans in just a few seconds on some occasions. And he truly enjoyed it. Celestia was unable to dig further in his mind from when before he joined the RED, it was mysteriously blocked. But she attempted to find some goodness in the Russian. He was extremely loyal to his team and often took the hits for them. Literally, they shot like a million bullets at him.

But Celestia was no fool. She knew better then anyone that it would be to dangerous to leave these three extremely violent creatures roam free around their world. They would have to be dealt with. The Moon was an option. She dug further in their minds revealing the moments just before they entered Equestria. Celestia was shocked when she saw the responsible one.

"Discord." She stopped her magic and faced Luna. "Sister, this is an emergency. Go and see if Discord is still in place." Luna frowned and decided to not use her traditional royal canterlot voice.

"But Tia, he's sealed in stone, what is there to be found?"

"Please Luna go, I'm certain he is the cause of our human arrivals. See if there's anything odd and then return at once. I can handle things here." Celestia spoke more serious then ever. Luna decided to trust her sister and left her alone with the three armed man.

The humans looked each other in the eyes and noticed the tension had changed. Celestia seemed 'darker' as she glared at the trio with an angry look.

"I will not allow you to hurt my little ponies." She stated bluntly.

"Woah, whats with the sudden change, you were super nice two minutes ago." Carmine responded.

"When the life of my ponies are at stake, it calls for drastic measures. You three are the most violent minds I have ever encountered. And leaving you here can only lead to disaster. Im sorry, but banishment is the only option."

Ulfgar unsheathed his greatsword. "Now listen here pony princess, my people. MY PEOPLE! they await my return, for I had sworn to protect them as long as I'm able. We came here with the knowledge of you being a more then capable sorceress. And that you'd be able to return us home."

"Who told you that?" Celestia asked.

"A fair mare named Twilight Sparkle and her friends." The dovakhiin answered.

"So you've met the elements? Still, the safety of Equestria goes first. Im sorry it had to come to his."

"Know that we wont go down without a fight!" Ulfgar pointed his sword at Celestia. She then used her magic to push the three humans to the ground with invisible force. Heavy lost grip of Sasha and Carmine dropped his Lancer. The dovakiin held on to his blade with all his might. Heavy then enraged because of losing Sasha, through pure strength and willpower he was able to crush through the princess's magic. Celestia got distracted and lost focus for a second so that Carmine and Ulfgar were now also escaping her grip. Carmine carefully rolled behind cover after retrieving his weapon. Heavy picked up Sasha but was then distracted by a noise. Ulfgar faced off with the princes, he saw her horn glow yellow again and assumed she was casting another powerful spell.

"TIID KLO ULL!" the dovakhiin shouted TIME SAND ETERNITY in the dragon language. Time slowed around him and everything was nearly completely motionless. He slowly walked up to the princess with the blade in his right hand. He then proceeded to gently place it against her neck as the flow of time started to go back to normal. To ensure his safety he held her horn with his left hand. Celestia was dumbstruck when she saw the human had suddenly captured her in within the blink of an eye. With a sword to her neck and a human in control of her horn she feared the worst.

Luna entered the dungeon where they had sealed Discord, they removed him from the garden to a more supervised place within the Castle walls. It was a small underground dungeon specifically made for the draconequus. The stone statue that they placed there ever since the elements of harmony defeated him still remained.

"Maybe sister was wrong then." Luna approached the statue. She stared at it for a few minutes when something seemed odd. It looked as if the statue...was winking? The moon princess tapped on its face three times. The statue suddenly crumbled into dust before her. Luna was shocked. It looked like there was something among the pile of debris. A note.

Dear Celestia

The next time you seal me, please put a little more effort into it.
Seriously, this is like the second time I can just walk straight out of here.
You really got to do something about security.

Sincerely
Your pal Discord.

Luna was confused, how did he escape so easily, how long was he even gone. All she could think of right now was to let her sister know of this. She immediatly started running back up the stairs towards upper ground but was suddenly interupted by an extremely large bang which seemed to shake the entire castle. Luna crashed down the stairs.

"Was that an earthquake?"

A bit earlier

Ulfgar still had the Princess in her grip. He kept asking Celestia for a way home.

"You don't understand, as long as Discord roams free. You wont be able to return home. Kill me if you must, but I beg of you please dont hurt any of my little ponies." Celestia was in tears.

"You started attacking us!" Carmine shouted.

"DA! is little pony princess mad?" Heavy said.

"But...you were send here by Discord to spread chaos?" Celestia asked confused.

"We were send unwillingly, and we serve under no one. And if this Discord fellow is the one standing between me and the lands of Skyrim. Consider him already dead." Ulfgar released the blade from Celestia's neck but kept holding on to her horn. Both the Princess and Ulfgar stared in each others eyes. The dragonborn was about to release her when he got distraced by a far to familiar sound.

"There is noise again." Heavy said.

"By the gods. Not here." Ulfgar was shocked.

Suddenly shouts of panic and fear started erupting from outside the castle.

"DRAGON!!!!" a young mare shouted at the top of her lungs.

Ulfgar had released the princess now and both stared out the window. His fears became true as he saw a dragon land and wreak havoc in the large city of Canterlot. Ponies were panicking, desperatly trying to escape the flames left by the massive creature. Ulfgar knew exactly what is was as he'd faced their kind countless of times.

It was an ancient dragon. With its copper colored scales it was considered one of the most dangerous common dragons in Skyrim. But there was one odd thing about this dragon. Its eyes. They were glowing bright red. And it seemed a bit careless. It was just randomly spewing fire, without a clear target.

Ulfgar stood face to face with the princess once more as she was shocked by what just occured. Her face grew paler and the sun princess started getting extremely worried about the wellbeing of her ponies.

"How about we go and kill that dragon for you Princess Celestia." Ulfgar asked.

"Why would you help me after what I've done. I misjudged you and nearly paid for it with my life."

"Mistakes are there to be made, we've all made some. Also, you might be the only one who can send us home."

Celestia hesitated. These humans, they were clearly dangerous. But knowing her ponies were in danger, she decided to give in to the pressure. "If you can stop the suffering my ponies have to endure under Discord's mad plans, then I will gladly do everything in my power to assist you in returning to your proper realms."

"Aye, then we have a deal." Ulfgar looked at Carmine and Heavy. "Are you prepared to fight a dragon."

"Pff, I've fought chickens bigger then that." Carmine bragged.

"We go and CRUSH puny dragon!" Heavy yelled.

The three humans then jumped straight through the window. No time for shortcuts. They finally faced a true enemy this time. Together. And they couldnt be more exited. The screaming crowd of civilian ponies took notice of them and started panicking even more when they saw the trio of strange creatures laughing out loud and heading towards the dragon.

Celestia just gazed at the humans, praying she made the right decision. The sun princess got startled as she suddenly heard a familiar laugh.

"Isnt chaos a beautiful thing?" it said.
