*POV 1st Person Vuur Koning*

I was in the throne room, discussing the matter regarding Ruby and Garnet with Drakorex and Celestia when Teridax threw the doors open carrying something over his shoulder, he walked over and promptly dropped an unconscious Future predator at my hooves, causing me to give the most unmanly shriek before hiding behind Celestia.

“What the fuck, Teridax‽” I exclaimed. “Get that thing out of here”

“What is it?” Celestia asked.

“A future predator” I said, noticing their clueless faces I sighed before walking out from behind Celestia. I then levitated the creature up “this is what bats become in the far, far, far future. Its echolocation is so advanced that it does’nt even bother growing eyes, it’s also about as smart as your average Human and possesses rudimentary camouflage abilities.

“I was tempted to let it go free, it is a marvellous creature” Teridax said, smirking.

“It shouldn’t even exist” I said “Oh well, let’s send it off to WPC, they’re going to have a field day. At that moment Stag walked in, he was scheduled to meet with us over political matters, and he must have arrived early. He took one look at the future predator and his eyes lit up with recognition.

“Ah, a Clicker” he said.

“What?” I asked “you mean they actually exist on your world?”

“Well, yeah” he said, buzzing his wings “Why, don’t they on this world?” Both myself and Celestia shook our heads.

“Anyway” I said “Teridax, if you would be so kind as to send that down to be sent off to the WPC” Teridax nodded before picking up the ‘Clicker’ and walking out.

“So” Stag said “How’s the situation with your country going” I sighed and Drakorex looked at me in confusion.

“Do you have a problem with them?” he asked.

*5 months earlier*

I was sat at a large desk with Celestia and Luna, doing an interview on television to try to get the people of Britain more welcoming of us.

“What will your involvement in UK politics be?” someone asked.

“Strictly neutral” I said “though I was born in this country, I’m now a prince of Equestria, so it wouldn’t be my place to interfere” someone else stood up.

“As a former citizen of the UK, what is your stance on UKIP” I raised an eyebrow before answering.

“I am mildly Autistic and one of my adoptive daughters is a lesbian” I said “I cannot, in my right mind, condone a party that is not only blatantly racist, but wants disabled babies to be aborted, and the NHS to spend money on ‘curing’ homosexuality. Equestria is a country that upholds the values of love and tolerance, whereas UKIP is a group that promotes prejudice, racism and homophobia. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the last time a group that upholds those kinds of values got into power of a country, Earth ended up in the second world war” the gasps rang out through the room before the entire room went silent besides the camera shutters.

“Next question” I said. someone else stood up.

“You say Equestria promotes ‘love and tolerance’, yet Equestria is one of the leading countries on this side of the upcoming war”

“Need I remind you of the Battle of London?” I asked, “It is not a case of a need to fight, unlike many Earth civilisations. It is case of, we have to fight or we will all die at the hands of the enemy alliance, they will not stop until everything that opposes their image of the universe is wiped clean from existence. Next question”

“What is your religious stand point?” someone asked.

“I sense that this will cause no small amount of controversy” I said “but for an Alicorn, that’s the species that I now identify myself as, it is pointless to believe in a religion, as some Alicorns fit the classic criteria of a God, not so much a deity as a God. They have immense power; due to the off-balanced rotation of Terra-1 and its moon, my sisters; Celestia and Luna, control the rotation of Terra-1 and the orbit of the moon respectively. So to identify as any one particular religion would be purely self-serving”

“But you’ve already said when previously asked about the matter that your supposed mother, an Alicorn by the name of Fantasia, is classed as an Equestrian Diety, and is the subject of outright worship from Equestrians. So wouldn’t your current statement mean that you are technically following the Equestrian religion. Either that or your saying that she is not a what is classed as a god”

“Watch thy tongue” Luna said, frowning “That is mine and my sister’s birth mother you are referring to. Nevertheless, to answer your question yes, she is a god, and a Deity with the power to create things on a whim, regardless of whether you believe that or not, we have witnessed such powers first hand. However, following the Religion that revolves around our mother serves us as much purpose as your Queen’s sons referring to your Queen as ‘your majesty’ all the time it’s pointless and gets tiring on both sides extremely quickly”

“Besides” I said “Why should I let my beliefs rule my rational thinking? You shouldn’t judge someone based solely on their beliefs”

“They didn’t take to kindly to your remarks regarding UKIP” Celestia said, Drakorex chuckled.

“No” he said “I imagine they wouldn’t”

*POV 3rd person*

Minion was in the study, in his recently acquired Unicorn form; he was large for a unicorn; able to look Big Mackintosh dead in the eye and was covered in dark grey fur, he also had a guitar cutie mark and finally black mane & tail with orange tips. He was looking into Equestrian Folklore and he was just reading up on a page regarding Alicorns when the butler walked in.

“Excuse me sir” the butler said said “but there are two ponies at the door wishing to speak to either you or Vinyl Scratch.

“Thank you” Minion said, nodding as he stood up. He walked to the door and opened it before immediately putting on the most convincing fake smile he could muster in the face of the last two ponies he wanted to converse with: Vinyl’s parents.

“Can I help you?” He asked.

“Is Vinyl Scratch or her freak of a husband here?” Vinyl’s mother asked. She was a light grey mare with a dark blue mane and about as dull as upper class ponies came, just like Vinyl’s father; a stallion with a white coat and grey hair. ‘dull ponies with dull personalities

“You’re talking to her ‘freak of a husband’ right now” he said, smiling through gritted teeth. They didn’t even bat an eye at the revalation.

“Wonderful” Vinyl’s mother said “we was wondering if we could speak with Vinyl, we wish to reconcile with her”

“That’s nice” Minion said “Unfortunately, she’s not in at the moment and I don’t think she will be wanting to talk to you”

“But she owes it to us” she said “we helped her find her hooves in society and we deserve at least some of her fame directed”

“That’s nice” Minion said ‘Bitch, she doesn’t owe you anything’

“Out of curiosity” Vinyl’s father said “What did you receive from Vinyl for your wedding”

“Elocution lessons” Minion said. Vinyl’s mother burst out laughing.

“Well they obviously didn’t work” she said.

“Actually they did” he said, pulling a shit-eating grin “I used to say ‘fuck off’, but now I say ‘that’s nice’” he then watched with no small amount of satisfaction as their looks contorted from that of haughtiness to utter shock and he waved before closing the door.

“I love it when I win” he said, smirking as he walked away from the door with a noticeable spring in his step.

*Meanwhile*

Ruby was sat at a work desk tinkering with a smallish metal object, it was roughly spherical shaped, about the size of a basketball, and made out of metal, on one side it had a single lens, whilst beneath that was a magical thruster of some manner. Thel walked in and stopped when she caught sight of what Ruby was doing.

“Uh…what are you doing?” she asked, walking over.

“You know in Sci-fi video games and movies you get those little A.I. spheres?” Ruby asked, Thel nodded, but still looked puzzled  “well I’m trying my hand at making one, it will use a standard construct spell to provide the intelligence and personality, but it will still be an A.I. Sphere” the lens lit up briefly and Ruby smiled. “Looks like it’s just about ready” she then charged up the required spell and cast it on the sphere, which glowed briefly before levitating of its own accord. As it settled into a steady hover, the lens lit up in a blue light.

Inside a set of impossible ancient ruins located deep in the Everfree Forest, laid the still form of a tall, biomechanical gold and blue being, its armour tarnished and cracked in multiple places. It wore a large, fierce looking, golden mask with wide, blade or fin-like cheek plates. Suddenly its eyes, which hadn’t been used in thousands, no, millions of years, began to flicker until the being inhaled and its eyes settled into a steady red glow. The being sat up from the ruins it was laid in and looked around in confusion before asking himself.

“Hea tatou?[Where are we?]”

Fluttershy walked through the Everfree forest, singing quietly to herself. She was out collecting herbs and she’d just walked into a clearing when she began to hear thudding footsteps approaching. She was rendered frozen with fear as a gigantic bipedal being stomped towards her. She regained her senses only to leap out of the way to avoid being trodden on, she dare not make a sound as she hid in the bushes for fear of being attacked by the being attacked, yes, she had received combat training, but she wouldn’t risk her life against something that huge.

“Oh dear” she whispered, before gritting her teeth and shutting her eyes in an attempt to find enough courage to go back and warn Ponyville “pull yourself together, Fluttershy. Ponies could be hurt.” She inhaled deeply before opening her eyes, a fire of determination in her eyes. She then turned and began to dash back towards Ponyville before opening her wings and taking off.

A short while later Fluttershy’s hooves impacted the ground outside Twilight’s Castle and maintained her speed as she galloped up the steps and through the castle doors. She kept going until she burst into the throne room.

“Fluttershy‽” Twilight asked in surprise as the butter-yellow pegasus slid to a halt in front of Twilight “What’s wrong‽”

“Ever…free…collecting…herbs…monster….Ponyville” Fluttershy responded, panting.

“Whoa, slow down, Fluttershy!” Twilight exclaimed “Calm down” Fluttershy took a couple of deep breaths before sighing.

“We don’t have much time, Twilight” Fluttershy said, her voice was calm but it had a noticeable sense of urgency “I was out collecting herbs when a massive being walked past in the direction of Ponyville”

“What‽” Twilight exclaimed, she turned to one of her honour guard; a white unicorn with purple armour embedded with magic-enhancing gems. “summon the trackers!!!” the guard nodded and teleported out of the room.

The Trackers are three individuals, part of the Wolfpack but not Neu-Toa, as their name suggests, they specials in hunting and tracking. Gelphana; a fleet footed Glatorian with a skill for heavy weapons. Talguda; a pugnacious and stubborn fire-tribe Agori. And finally Raz ‘Vtam; a Sangheili who specialised as a long range sniper.

The guard reappeared at their outpost, startling them. Gelphana pointed his plasma cannon at the guard on instinct, before lowering it.

“Bloody hell!” He exclaimed, his Horstralian accent apparent as he put his canon away “give a Glatorian a warning next time”

“Something is approaching Ponyville, Princess Twilight wants your help to defend the town.

“Your Princes wants our help?” Talguda asked in a Scoltish accent, walking towards the guard and looking him dead in the eyes, causing said guard to swallow nervously.

“It seems” Raz said, sharpening an ornamental knife before holstering it on a sheaf on his chest armour “our allies require our assistance once more, l say we show the element’s how it’s done”

*POV 1st person Nova*

I was walking through the hallways of Canterlot castle when I noticed a human family, two parents; a mother and a father, and one little girl, about five years of age. I trotted over and greeted them.

“Good day” I said, nodding slightly, they were rendered stunned and I chuckled softly.

“I…uh…good…dzień?” the father asked in a Slavic accent.

“Się masz Polski?[are you Polish?]” I asked and they nodded. To dobrze, mogę tylko o prowadzenie rozmowy w języku polskim[That's fine, I can just about hold a conversation in Polish]”

“ Dziękujemy[Thank you]” the father said in surprise “Nie spodziewalismy nikogo tutaj aby zrozumieć nas[We were not expecting anyone here to understand us]”

“Mam do reprezentacji wielu różnych kultur, to pomaga jeśli mogę mówić co najmniej niektóre z języków. The Thestrals od Trotselvania również mówić polski[I have to represent many different cultures, it helps if i can speak at least some of the languages. The Thestrals of Trotselvania also speak Polish]” I said “Skąd jesteś?[Where are you from?]”

“ Wrocław” the mother said and my eyes widened.

“Ia odwiedziliśmy Wrocławiu w 2013 Roku[I visited Wrocław in 2013]” I said, the little girl beamed and I turned to the parents Chcesz zrobić zdjęcie z mnie i Twojej małej dziewczynki?[Do you want to take a picture of me and your little girl?]” the girls eye’s went wide and she looked at her parents hopefully.

“Tylko, czy to przycisk OK z tobą[Only if it’s ok with you]” the mother said unsurely, getting out a camera all the same. The girl walked over to me and I surprised her by levitating her onto my back. The mother took the picture and suddenly one of Twilight’s honour guard appeared.

“Prince Nova” the guard said, bowing “A threat is approaching Ponyville and Twilight has requested you help in case things get out of hand” I sighed and nodded before turning to the family.

“Obawiam się, że musimy cięte ten krótki[I'm afraid that we have to cut this short]” I said, levitating the girl down to the ground and ruffling her hair before nudging her back towards her parents “Mam nadzieję, że cieszyć się wakacjami[I hope you enjoy your vacation] The parents nodded and the child waved as I turned and began walking alongside the guard.

“How much time do we have?” I asked.

“There’s still enough time to get there via teleportation” the guard said.

“Good” I said, before teleporting us both away. We reappeared in Ponyville to find the Mane 6, along with Twilight’s honour guard and the trackers at the bridge just before the Everfree forest.

“Hello, niece of mine” I said, walking up to Twilight and giving her a quick hug.

“The greetings will have to wait” she said, hugging me back before stepping away. At that moment, a loud thumping filled the air and I noticed Pinkie Pie pull out a glass of water from her mane before placing it on the ground and staring at the ripples rolling across the water’s surface in anticipation. I rolled my eyes and quickly turned into my Neu-Toa form before getting my swords out and charging them up. Suddenly a 15-foot tall being stomped out of the forest, double bladed sword in hand, and stared at us in surprise.

“well…shit” I muttered Next Chapter: Chapter 4 Estimated time remaining: 2 Hours, 40 Minutes
