Location: Everfree Forest, Precursor lookout
Time: 3:00 P.M
Me and Twilight have been sitting here for the past half hour, enjoying the view and each others company.
I opened my eyes and saw the position of the sun, meaning it's time to head back. I got up carefully, to not wake up Twilight. I then picked her up bridal style and summoned my wings. I looked at my wings and saw that they were a golden color instead of their normal light blue.
I flew down gently to the ground and picked up my things with my tendrils. I placed Twilight softly on the ground, so I could put my things back on.
After tying up the ring with the satchels straps, I picked up Twilight again and flew off to Ponyville.
Twilight was beginning to stir, then opened her eyes slowly and noticed that we're flying. She yelped as she looked down and held on tightly around my neck.
“Twilight, you need to relax, the chances of me dropping you are zero to none.” I said to her as she loosed her grip. She saw the way I was carrying her and blushed a little but had a smile as she sighed happily.
“You should take me flying with you more often.” She said.
“I'll think about it.” I said jokingly, making her laugh a little. She looked at me and put a hand on my cheek.
“If you need somepony to talk about your feelings, I'll be happy to be there for you.” She said, gaining a nod from me.
“I will.” I said while speeding up a bit as the town was in sight.
I landed safely and put Twilight down, then continued to go on foot back to the Library.
“When do we leave for Canterlot?” I asked her as we entered the market place.
“Around ten in the morning, we need to be there for the rehearsal dinner.” She said as we passed by the Apple stand with A.J and Rhino working in it. They waved at us as we walked by.
“Also, I was wondering what you said to Rainbow Dash a month ago, after she told us to get a room.” She said.
“Well, I've noticed that whenever Alduin is in town, She tends to hang out with him a lot. So, my theory is that she likes him.” I told her as a group of children passed by running from a colt.
“I always thought she would go for a pegasus stallion.” She said, giggling a little.
“Well, Al can be a bit egotistical and competitive when he wants to be. I guess Dash just like him because of his personality of being a cool guy and a dumbass.” I said as we saw Sugarcube Corner.
“And what about Applejack and Rhino?” She asked.
“Well, I promised not to tell anyone but they never said anypony.” I said with a smirk.
“Rhino told me that it started in Applebucking season. Applejack said that they started to get to know each other as good friends but one thing lead to another, and here they are.” I said to her as we entered the Sugarcube corner.
Once inside, I sas Nano and Pinkie slow dancing together while classical music was playing. I looked at Twilight as she looked at me and we both knew what to do.
We raised our hands as we slowly walked away, without them noticing.
“Isn't Nano a suit?” Twilight asked as I closed the door.
“Not anymore, the suit should've locked itself and changed itself to a real Stallion, meaning Nano is a living breathing pony with the abilities of the suit.” I said to her.
“Alright, let's go home and pack some bags for tomorrow.” She said as we walked towards the Library.
“I'll go pick up the girls from school.” I said, giving her a small kiss before heading towards the Schoolhouse.
On the way there, I walked by Alduin and Rainbow as they raced by me. I could see that Al was enjoying his little outings with her.
“Hey man.” I heard someone behind me. I looked back and saw Daxter and the gang
“Sup guys. It's actually pretty good that you guys are here, I've been invited to my mare-friend's brother’s wedding and the whole thing's a sham, there'll be an invasion of changelings at the wedding to try to take over Canterlot and I need you guys to go also. You guys can go with your cars, I'm going by train.” I said to them, gaining some smirks as they liked the sound of riding in guns blazing.
“Rhino, Nano and my brothers will be going also by train.” I said as I walked towards the Schoolhouse.
“So, how did you and that unicorn mare start seeing each other?” Daxter asked as he followed me.
“Well, we both had a crush on each other for a while and i asked her out to the Grand Galloping Gala, a ball basically. Anyway, We arrived and had our fun for about two hours or so until Praxis came in. Long story short, she kissed me and I kissed her back.” I said as we turned on a corner and saw the school.
“Not sure if messed up or amazing.” He said with his eyes narrowed at nothing.
“Don't meme, please.” I said as we sat down and waited on a bench.
“So, how are things with the gang?” I asked him.
“Good surprisingly enough. Sig had gotten close with Rhino, Torn is getting ready to whoop Shining Armor’s ass and Ashelin has been helping the Rarity mare, personally, I don't like Rarity, when she first saw me, she started to throw things at me.” Daxter said.
“Meh, you get used to it.” I said as the bell started ringing. I saw the children running out, eager to have fun with their friends. Nyx and Scootaloo then walked out with their friends.
“Hey Dad!” Scoots and Nyx both greeted.
“Hi Jak.” Sweetie Belle and AppleBloom said.
“Hey girls, how are you five doing?” I asked them.
“Good, we were just about to go crusading.” Scootaloo said.
“Alright, but be back home at six, we're leaving for Canterlot tomorrow for a few days.” I said, gaining a nod from each of them before they ran away, playing tag with Apple Bloom being it.
“So, how are we going to go in Canterlot as they get invaded?” Dax asked.
“There'll be a bubble shield around the city, it will go down when the attackers show themselves.” I said, making sure no one heard us.
“They're changelings, meaning they'll already be inside, so we need to wait.” I said as we got up.
“Alright, something to blast at.” Dax said to himself as he went to the market place.
While walking back to the Library, I had a little flashback related to my time in Haven during the war.
Flashback: War for Haven City
“Report…” Samos said to the radio as we walked out to the balcony of the palace and saw hellcats fighting KG Drones while on the ground firefights could be seen.
“It's bad! The city's become a battlefield! Mechanized Death Bots have taken the industrial section, and the surviving Metal Heads have expanded their hold on the Westside. We're losing ground on all fronts.” Torn said through the radio.
“The Council's meeting tonight in emergency session. Rumblings about you, Jak. It doesn't look good. They think your friendship with Krew helped the Metal Heads get into the city.” Ashelin said after Torn reported in.
“You don't believe that do you?” I asked Samos, worryingly about what's to come.
“What's in the past is done. Right now, Metal-Heads are assaulting the Palace. They're looking for something, and I have no idea…” Samos was interrupted by the sound of mortars going on off. We looked down to see the mortars striking the palace. More were fired, making the palace start to fall.
“HEELLP, WE'RE FALLING!” Daxter shouted through the radio as we held on for our lives.
“OVER HERE! JUMP!” Torn shouted as he pulled over his Hellcat allowing us to jump on before the palace fell to the ground. We drove above the wreckage and were blinded by a bright light.
“By the Precursors!” Samos shouted as he saw the precursor catacombs in the ruins of the palace.
Flashback end
As my flashback came to an end, I saw that I was a few feet away from the library. I stopped as I heard the sound of a rocket. I looked back and saw Pyro strapped to a Rocket with Dash flying behind and Alduin running to get Pyro off the Rocket while Pyro was yelling at the pedestrians to move.
“Move the fuck out of the way!” Pyro yelled as he planted his feet on the ground to slow down.
Al stopped In front of me to catch his breath, so I asked him what was going on.
“Pyro decided it would be fun to strap himself on a rocket, so I was like alright but then remembered that the rocket he's talking about his resized version of the super nova rocket. Now, me and Dash need to stop that rocket before, you know.” He said before breaking into a full sprint again while summoning Dark eco tendrils to climb buildings.
I could feel my eye twitch while I sighed to myself. I focused my green eco and encased the Nova rocket in a pillar of crystallized green Eco, making Pyro’s rope snap and launch him straight to a window of a familiar shop.
“Come on! I just got that repainted!” The store owner shouted as he walked out of his shop.
“We'll pay you the bits.” I said as I walked over to Pyro.
“Ow.” Pyro mumbled out.
“Why would you even strap yourself to a rocket?” I asked him as I held my hand out for him.
He grabbed my hand and pulled himself up.
“Because it was fun. By the way, you feeling better now?” He asked me.
“Yeah, thanks to Twilight.” I said as Rainbow and Al caught up.
“Okay, you got the Supernova, now what?” Alduin asked. I looked at the encased Rocket.
“Now, you disarm it.” I said as I focused the eco crystal to make an opening for Al to disarm it.
“What’s so bad about that rocket?” Rainbow asked me as he kept looking at Al.
“If it blows up, there’ll be a giant hole where Ponyville used to be.” I said as I glared at Pyro.
“Hey! I didn’t know it was that kind of rocket!” He shouted in defense.
“You’re not supposed to tie yourself to a rocket in the first place!” I shouted back
“Well sorry prince, I was bored and wanted to do something fun. How could I know I was riding a nuke.” he answered, turning around to look back where he came from.
“How about that sign with the nuclear tag on it.” I said, pointing at a sticker with a warning that read ‘Nuclear Missile, DO not TOUCH’ on it.
“Oh.” Pyro said as he saw the sticker.
“You know what, I’m just going to back to the library, I need to talk to Spike.” I said as I summoned my wings, I looked at my wings and saw that they’re back to being a light blue. I flew off to the library. On the way, I looked for something in my satchel and pulled out a small piece of a Dark eco crystal.
‘Hopefully we won’t need this.’ I thought as I landed in front of the library door. I dispersed my wings and went inside,
I saw Spike laying down on the couch with a comic book on his head. I chuckled as I swiped the comic book, surprising him as he woke up.
“Whaa!” He shouted as he rubbed his eyes, then looked at me.
“I need to tell you something but first, where is Twilight?” I asked him.
“Getting a dress from Rarity, why?” He said as he sat up. I took out the crystal and showed it to him.
“The wedding’s a sham, it’s diversion for an invasion and I need you to have this just in case shit gets real.” I said as I gave him the crystal.
“Once you use it, it’ll change you into a raging beast hell bent on killing but I know you can handle this. Remember, don’t say a thing to Twilight, this is something that’s supposed to happen.” I said to him as he put the crystal in his pocket.
“So, you know the future?” He asked as he looked back at me.
“Yes but please, please act like you never knew this alright. If I tell them what’s going to happen, the future will change drastically and Twilight and her friends wouldn’t learn any life lessons.” I said to him.
“Then why say it to me?” He asked.
“Because, I changed your future from always looking like a baby dragon to what you are now.” I said while gesturing at him.
“Okay, I think I get it.” He said as he got up and went to the kitchen.
“You want anything specific for dinner?” He asked as he popped his head out of the corner.
“Anything that isn’t poison.” I said, gaining a shrug from him before he went back in to cook.
I decided to lay down on the couch for a nap.
6:00 P.M
“You sure this a good idea?” I heard Nyx’s voice.
“Twilight said it was okay.” I heard Scootaloo say before I felt ice cold water being poured on me.
“AHH!” I shouted as I leaped up the couch, freezing cold.
“Why!?” I asked them, still shivering.
“We tried to wake you up for dinner but you’re a really heavy sleeper.” I heard Twilight say through the door to the dining room.
“Alright, fine. Let’s go eat!” I said, ignoring the fact that I was still freezing. Twilight giggled at my obliviousness and casted a drying spell on me.
“Thanks, Twi.” I said before heading into the dining room.
After eating, I packed my bags for tomorrow and helped Nyx and Scootaloo pack. After we all finished packing, we went to get ready for bed.
“You don’t think the princesses are going to hard on Shining with his training?” Twilight asked as she got on the bed.
“No, if they did, Shining would be in the hospital right now.” I said as I laid down next to Twilight.
“And what makes me mad at him is that he never told me that he was dating, or that he was getting married and he chooses now to tell me.” She said, sniffling a little.
“I’m sure that he just didn’t have time to write to you about it.” I said as I put my arm around her in a comforting manner.
“Maybe, anyway goodnight.” She said, giving me a quick kiss, then turned off the lamp and went to sleep.
I looked over to the window and thought about tomorrow, thensleep took hold of me.
Morning: 9:00 A.M
I opened my eyes as was woken by the sunlight. I tried blocking the light but to no avail, so I got up and went to eat breakfast.
After eating breakfast, I went back upstairs with a trumpet in hand to wake everyone up.
Everyone sprung up from their beds and glared at me.
“Payback, baby!” I shouted as I fell to the floor, laughing my ass off.
After my laugh riot, everyone ate and got ready to leave for the train station. I made sure to pack my gun and followed Twilight to the station.
Once we arrived at the station, we met up with the girls, Alduin, Zii, Rhino, Pyro and Nano waiting for us. We then bought our tickets and boarded the train.
The girls went in a separate cart, while me and the rest of the guys were in our own cart.
Once I closed the door to the girl's cart, Zii casted a mute spell around us.
“Now, what are we going to do about this?” Al said as he displayed a map of Canterlot with a huge red circle drawn around it.
“Well, until shit hits the fan, we act casual and pretend to not know anything. After the bitch reveals herself and the shield drops, The gang will drive in through the city guns blazing.” I said as I drew a few exes around the front of the city.
“Pyro, you'll roast the fuck out of the ones around the palace, like the insects they are.” I said as I gave Pyro modified Vulcan fury that shoots fire.
“Oh, baby where have you been all my life” he said holding it up and cradling it like a child
“Rhino, charge in and clear the way for any civilians around the city.” I said to Rhino. Rhino just flared his nostrils, ready for anything.
“Zii and Al will provide air support by any means necessary.” I said to them.
“Nano, you have another mode called Battle ready, once shit happens, activate it and protect the girls at all cost.” I said to Nano, earning a salute.
“And I'll be with Twilight to make sure nothing happens, and I got a little plan B.” I said, rolling the map up and giving it to Al.
“I gave Spike a small Dark Eco crystal, he'll only use it in an emergency.” I said as Zii took down the mute spell.
I decided to nap until we get to Canterlot as the rest of the guys did their own thing.
I felt the train come to a stop, meaning we arrived. I sat up with a loud yawn and got up the bed, smacking myself on the roof, forgetting that the roofs of the bed are so low. I got out the bed, grabbed my stuff and headed out.
Once outside, I finally got to see the shield and the amount of guards that are posted around the station.
I looked back and saw Twilight walk out while holding her bag with Nyx and Scootaloo following behind. I grabbed hold of Nyx and Scoots bags while waiting for the rest of the girls and guys to come out.
Once everyone was out, we then made our way to the palace. On the way, some guards and civilians were giving us the evil eye, luckily none of the girls noticed them as they entered through the gates. I spotted pyro lifting up his new gun and giving the nobles a crazed grin. They backed off very quickly after that. I watched pyro’s form shift to a certain russian heavy weapons guy.
“You all are babies, who sends babies to fight?!” he said with a thick russian accent.
After we passed through the gates, we met up with Shining Armor, who was wearing some weird getup for the royal guard.
“Hey, little Sis.” Shining greeted his sister with a hug but was pushed away by her.
“Don’t hey ‘Sis’ me, you never told me you were getting married!” Twilight shouted as I backed up, not wanting to do with her family argument.
“Al, did you ever find out where the Prototype Supernova missile was?” Zii asked, wanting to know about the nuke.
“It’s useless now, I disarmed it.” Al said, earning a smack to the head.
“Why!?” Zii shouted as me and Al pointed at Pyro with blank expressions.
“Don’t worry Zii i have a back up, i just hope i don’t have to use it” pyro said looking down with a scowl.
“For what!? The Supernova was meant for the precursor robot!” Zii shouted still outraged about losing the only nuke he had.
“Zii i have over 5 megatons worth in nuclear materials, so if you need to make some more, ask me.” he said with a small grin on his face.
“No, it’s fine, we’ll just have to put a laser cannon instead.” Zii said as he walked towards the entrance to the palace
“That sounds like it be even more fun, it would make you bot closer to liberty prime.” Pyro said following them.
“It’ll put use to that large ass lens we have back at the lab.” Al said, following Zii inside. After Al went in, ‘Cadence’ walked out the door towards Shining.
“Bug bitch at three o'clock.” I whispered to Pyro as we walked back to the group. As we got closer to them, we could hear Twilight singing a little tune.
“Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake, clap your hands and do a little shake.” Twilight sang as she danced a little but stopped as she noticed that ‘Cadence’ wasn't doing it also.
“Mention anything about her dancing and you’ll be missing more than a few limbs.” I whispered at Pyro.
“I would say it is gay, but that's your lover.” he leaned closer to me. “but i have a feeling that you want her to make your ladybug shine, and do a little shake.” he said with a grin that I smacked off as soon as I could.
“Get your head out of the gutter man! My kids are here.” I said pointing at Nyx and Scootaloo beside me.
“That's why i whispered it to you, god!”
We then looked back at where Twilight was talking to ‘Cadence’ about her not doing their little dance.
“How long do you think it will take for the bug to release the shield?” I asked Pyro.
“I’m gonna give her about five and a half hours.” Pyro said, looking down at his Pip-boy for the time.
“Welp, let’s get going then,” I said as I picked up Nyx and Scootaloo’s bags.
“You guys go on ahead, i want to go find a good bar for a bit. Need some alcohol for something i’m making.” he said walking down the road.
“Make sure it ain’t molotov’s!” I shouted as I guided Nyx and Scootaloo to the guest room.
“Hey good idea, maybe i will make some as well!” he yelled out.
“I said don’t! One fire weapon is enough.” I shouted as we walked up the steps.
“Ok fine, i just drink instead.”
“He’s getting drunk, isn’t he dad?” Scoots asked me as Pyro walked through the gates.
“There is a high chance but then again, we’re only human.” I said as we went through the doors.
“Moonshine makes for a good fuel for flamethrowers.” We heard pyro yell out.
“Isn’t that illegal?” Nyx said as we walked down the hallway.
“In some countries, unfortunately not this one.” I said to her. We finally found the one of the guest rooms and went in. I unpacked a few things like, map of the castle, tuxedo and two rings made from green eco as gifts for the real wedding. I left my gun i the case and put in a corner, hoped on the bed and took a nap, again.
PoV: Pyro
As I walked down and away from the others, I began to get lost in my thoughts.
‘I just hope i never have to use it, the changelings would never be able to stop it, hell even i am having a hard time keeping it down, but it’s human nature to kill ain't it, even with 15 years of my life in the fucking army, it still has yet to have its fill.
I slowly pulled myself from my train of thought to look around. i could see nobles walking around me, and guards as well. There must be changelings here in the city already, hidden… i wonder?
Would the pyroland goggles help me see them? Well try them out i guess.
As i placed them on my head i could see everything was still the same, until i looked out towards the pony’s walking around, i could see the changelings for sure. They sat out like a sore thumb. i guess the guys would want to know about this find as well. i took the goggles off and started to make my way to a bar near by.
30 minutes later
Well i have plenty of fuel now, but maybe i should help Al out. He seemed sad that the nuke was disarmed. You know what, screw that, their mech, not mine, if they need the supplies to build it then they can ask me for it. I find it funny that they did not find the terminal that i had built that hooks up with my supplies. I looked down at my Pip-boy and the time read 2:30. Plenty of time to get back there.
After looking around, I entered an ally, I grabbed the PDA and pressed the teleporter exit the blueprint came out and i placed it down below me, as it build itself up, kept looking up making sure no one saw what i was doing. yet i still had a feeling I was being watched. As it finished building I step on to it. I teleported into my room at the castle. I picked up the destroy PDA and hit the big red button. My teleporters blew up leaving the scrap behind. As i walked over to the wall that had a picture of me a fluttershy on it, i grabbed the brick below it and pulled it out. I hit the hidden button, and the passage opened showing the pole heading downward and the latter coming up. I grabbed the pole and slid down.
As i hit the bottom and looked round the room. The portal frame was still there and was ready to be finished. I know Jak may not like this, but i would rather be safe than sorry. When and if i can get this done and working then, it should work just like the mirror in the crystal kingdom. Letting Jak and the gang come into my world and vise versa. Now Zii can grab his nuclear materials, when it's working, i think i fucked up on the runes or something. ah well, now then time to grab plan C.

Time of the wedding
“Dad?” I heard Scootaloo's voice as I napped.
“Hmm?” I hummed out while waving a hand.
“Why do you nap a lot?” She asked. I opened my eyes and sat up with a questionable look.
“I don't really know, sweetie.” I said as I stretched a bit, popping my shoulders.
“Anyway, Twilight said to get you, it's time for the rehearsal dinner.” She said as she walked to the door.
“Alright, give me a second.” I said as I went to put on my tux and grabbed my satchel, then followed Scootaloo.
On the way, some guards have been keeping an eye on us. Funny thing is, they're wearing the old golden armor and not the new one's, meaning someone's intel was way off.
We finally arrived at the doors to the dining hall and we saw Twilight glaring daggers at ‘Cadence'.
“You're not the real Cadence, you're just a complete bitch!” She shouted at ‘Cadence’, who then started to cry. Scootaloo went away to avoid any conflict with her sister in side the dining hall.
“Why are you saying mean things to me!?” ‘Cadence’ sobbed out as she was embraced by Shining.
“What is wrong with you!?” Shining shouted as he looked over to Twilight.
“Shiny, she isn't what she seems to be!” Twilight shouted in defense.
“I don't want to hear it, unless it isn't an apology!” He shouted back.
“Hey! She just trying to look out for you!” I shouted at him.
“Shut up, freak!” He shouted back, making Twilight furious by his insult.
“Don't call him a freak!” She shouted as she got closer to him.
“And why not? Just look at him, he isn't even a pony!” He shouted while gesturing at me.
“So what!? I'm dating him and I don't care that he's a pony!” She shouted as she stood next to me.
“You're what!? With that thing!?” He shouted.
“From freak to thing, did I Just get promoted or something?” I said to no one in particular.
“You know what? Maybe it's best if the both of you don't show up to the wedding.” Shining said, making Twilight tear up.
Shining then held on to ‘Cadence' as they walked back to the dining hall. The rest of the mane six, minus Fluttershy, were glaring at Twilight.
“What the hay, Twilight!?” Dash shouted as she flew close to her. I noticed that the guys were walking this way, knowing full well what's to come.
“Dash, she just trying to be a good sister and look out for him!” I shouted at Dash.
“That doesn't give her an excuse for making poor Cadence cry.” Rarity said. I could see that Spike rolled his eyes at ber claim.
“Aren't being a little overprotective on your brother?” AppleJack said as she walked through the doors to the dining hall with the girls following behind. I signaled the guys to go on inside.
“Why won't anypony believe me?” Twilight said as tears were starting to flow down her face.
“I believe you for two reasons. One is you being my mare-friend and two is that you never lie and when you do, it's kinda obvious when you do lie.” I said with a smile as I wiped her tears away, earning a sad smile from her.
“Come on, if what you say is indeed lie, then she has nothing to hide in her room.” I said to her as we walked to Cadences room.
While walking towards Cadences room, I had to cheer up Twilight on the way. I managed to cheer her up by saying one thing.
“No matter what happens Twi, I'll always be there for you, no matter who or what says I can't.” After I said that she cried in tears of joy while hugging me, soaking the shoulder of my tux.
Once we arrived we found ‘Cadence' standing in front of the room, waiting.
“Keeping you two around will only slow down my plan.” She said as she got ready to cast a spell but was stopped as I grabbed her horn.
“Let go of me, you insect!” She shouted. Twilight was shocked to see me do this.
“The irony in that sentence.” I said as I kicked her away.
She took her chance and casted a knockout spell at me. The last thing I could see was Twilight running towards me as the bitch teleported us to the caves, dropping us five feet above.
I woke up to sound of water drops and a horrible smell. I sat, holding my head in pain. I looked around but saw nothing as it was to dark for me to see. I used my dark eco infrared and looked around and saw that there isn't any heat signatures around. I looked behind me and saw...no.
I sprinted over there to a closer look. My blood ran cold as I could feel my emotions running rampant as I looked at her. Twilight, stomach covered in blood with a spike impaling her.
“No, no, no no no.” I said repeatedly as I tried to feel for her pulse, but felt none. My eyes turned pitch black, horns grew out, my hair turned pure white as my skin turned to a light grey.
“GAHHH!!” I shouted as the change was finished. I remembered packing a crystal just in case if Spike had to use his, so I ripped off my satchel and started to look for it.
I then pulled out a light eco crystal and I bit off a small chunk of it. I grabbed the small chunk and placed it her wound while carefully moving the spike out of her stomach.
I took of my jacket and used to stop the blood loss, after crystal shard in. I tied up my jacket and checked if any blood was leaking out and found none.
I held on to her as I could feel tears dripping down
“Please work, oh by the Precursors, please work.” I said to myself as I held on to her. The shard in her wound started to glow a bright light blue as her wound started to close.
I softly put Twilight back on the ground as I felt a pulse in her chest. I noticed she was breathing again, slowly but surely.
I stood up and summoned my dark tendrils as I teleported to to Alduin and Zii but first, my gun.
Throne room
I appeared in the throne room and saw the guys waiting around the room. Once they saw me and my form, they got ready to calm me down but they didn't try anything as I raised my hands.
“Chrysalis almost killed Twilight, I'm pretty sure it's time to crash this shit-fest.” I said as my claws grew a few inches longer.
Spike took out a sword made out of light eco crystals and gave it a few test swings.
Al smirked as he changed into his dark form while Zii went light form with some armor.
Nano cracked his knuckles and Rhino just waited for us. Pyro showed up by teleportation with his Magma fury, making the barrel spin a little.
“Someone say it's time?” He said with a smirk but once he looked at me, the smirk vanished.
“I'll tell you later, right now, let's go.” I said as my tendrils decided to act like a cape as we walked towards the ball room.
We walked up to the door and I held I put my ear to the door and waited.
“If anypony has anything to say against this the marriage, speak now or forever hold your pea-” Celestia didn't finish as I kicked the door of It's hinges and shouting one thing.
The guys soon stormed in behind me as if they were S.W.A.T. and surrounded Chrysalis.
“It's over, bitch!” I shouted at her. The ponies around were surprised at us but Shining just looked furious and was about to cast a spell at me but stopped as Celestia called in some guards.
“How!? How did you escape!?” She shouted as she got out of her disguise.
“Bitch, I just do what I do best!” I said blasting her with dark eco. She deflected the blast as she activated the mind control spell on Shining. Half the guards and civilians changed into changelings and captured Celestia in the green goo. The were about to get the girls but Nano came in, grabbed the two changelings and threw them towards Rhino, who then proceeded to break them.
Nano then activated his battle armor to fight.
“Follow me!” Nano shouted as he sliced some changelings. Nano lead the girls out with Spike and Rhino running a head to clear the way.
“Pyro, go help the guards outside!” I shouted, gaining a nod from him as he jumped out of the window and landed in the courtyard.
Al and Zii went out to give air support by jumping changeling from changeling.
“Shining dear, please take down that shield for me.” She said to Shining, making him take down the shield and letting the rest of her army in. I soon got blasted by Chrysalis, sending me flying out of through the window.
PoV: Daxter
“Shield is down. I repeat, shield is down!” I shouted through the radio as I revved up the engine and drove towards the city.
Sig then came up next to me in his hammer head. Torn came in with a Hellcat with Ashelin on the turret.
We got into the city limits as the changelings were bombing on to the ground, only to get run over by me or Sig.
“Locking on target!” Sig said as his weapon morph into a rocket launcher.
“Wam bam, Super Slam!” Sig shouted as a missile was launched towards a group of flying changelings and killing them in the explosion.
PoV: Jak
“Ow.” I said as I opened my eyes and saw the battle. Nano was slicing and dicing along with Spike. Rhino was leading a few civilians away and Pyro was busy burning the bugs with the Magma Fury.
I got up and walked towards a changeling and choked him with my tendrils. I used my tendrils to kill them one by one.
“Make a wish!” I shouted as I ripped one of them like a wishbone.
“Dad!!” I heard my daughters shout out. I looked over to them and saw three changelings about to capture them. I was about to go and save them but was soon pinned down by five of them. The took the chance and tied my tendrils together, allowing them to capture me easily.
I looked over to Spike as he was cornered by ten changelings.
“Spike, now is the time you use the shard!” I shouted at the bloody drake before one of the changelings decided to beat me.
Spike sheathed his sword on his back, then took out the crystal shard and crushed it in his hand, allowing the dark eco to flow around him.
“Gah ah RAAAAH!!” He shouted as the eco was turning him into a beast. He continued to scream while the drones were backing up, away from Spike while the ones that were focused on Nyx and Scootaloo walked towards him.
Spike turned his back to them as he got on his knees, clutching his stomach in pain. He then slowly stood up, turning to the changelings while he looked at himself.
“Krahus, vosro koraav fos Zu'u vis dreh nu!” Spike said as he turned to look at the changelings with an evil toothy grin.
He then proceeded to kill all of them, not leaving a single one alive. He ran up to me and cut me loose. I stood up and looked at him, then nodded at him as he leaped from building to building while taking down some changelings in the process.
I heard an explosion go off behind me and the sound of engines.
“Wam bam, Super Slam!” I heard Sig as the Hammer head drove by me. I then saw the boomer driving up behind.
“Leave some for me!” Daxter shouted as he ramped up on one of the roofs and fired the machine gun, killing some changelings and landing on another group of them.
“Hey Jak, you won't believe what we found!” He shouted as he pointed above. I looked up and saw a Freedom Hellcat flying around and killing changelings with its turrets.
Nano came in damaged and missing an arm.
“They got them. They have Pinkie.” He said, looking down in sadness.
“Chin up mate, we have a fight to win.” I said to him as I pulled out my blaster rifle and started firing at some changelings.
Nano nodded as he took out his blade again and went back into the fight. Rhino ran by me from down the street while looking down and his horn is pointing straight from him.
I could see Pyro having fun with the Magma Fury as he was laughing maniacally as he torched them while Spike was helping with the ones in the air as he leaped of a building and grabbed hold of two of them.
Alduin was riding a changeling like a surfboard as it glided down to the grown. As he landed, he was soon picked up by Lokzii to do that again.
I looked back at where Nyx and Scootaloo were at and found them hidden in a shop. I ran to them, narrowly dodging a missile and ran inside the building.
“Come on girls, I'm taking you somewhere safe.” I said to them as I embraced them before Eco blinking back to the crystal caverns.
“You two stay here and keep Twilight safe, while get rid of these pest.” I said as I looked over to the unconscious form of Twilight.
“And if you can, find the real Princess Cadence. She's tied up somewhere down here.” I said to them, earning salutes from the both of them. It made me smile, seeing that they'll help in any way they can even when they're afraid.
I hugged them both before standing back up again. I then Eco blinked back to the ball room.
I appeared behind one of the many pillars of the room and heard Chrysalis start to sing on her victory. I aimed my blaster at her and fired, missing as she dodged it.
“Oh, it's you again. This'll only be a second, dear.” She said to Shining as she glided towards me, ready to deliver a punch but was soon grabbed by my tendrils.
“Let's see how long it'll take for me to break you!” I shouted as I moved each of her limbs apart, resulting in some dislocation and her screams of pain.
I threw her back as I laughed at her agony.
“Do you think you've won!?” She shouted as she healed up her limbs and stood up.
“I never said anything about winning.” I said to her with a sinister grin.
She fired more spells at me and missed everyone as I used my tendrils to dodge. The girls and Celestia were stunned by how I crippled her in only a few seconds of fighting.
I kept dodging her spells but she decided to make a drone tackle me to the ground and continuously hit me. She smirked in victory but the smirk soon turned into a surprised look as she heard my laughter.
“Hahaha! You think this hurts, what you did to Twilight took all feeling from me. Pain is nothing!” shouted as my tendrils grabbed the changeling and pierced through his chest, ripping him apart.
I ran up to Chrysalis and started to give fast punches at her, not giving her a chance to do anything. I kicked her away again, letting her pick herself up.
“Can I just have a minute?” She asked, trying to catch her breath.
“Shoryuken.” I said to her.
“Wow, thanks, I-” I didn't give her a chance to finish as I delivered a strong uppercut, sending her a few feet into the air.
“Can't believe you fell for-” I was blasted to the wall, hard by a magic. I looked over to my arm and found it bended the wrong way.
“Don't you get it, I won!” She shouted, readying another spell.
“It's ain't over unless the one lives!” I said as i weakly stood up and bent my arm back to normal. I looked back at Chrysalis as I got ready to fight again.
PoV: Nyx
After Dad left, we went to check Twilight if she was okay. She had Dad's Tuxedo jacket wrapped around her stomach.
“Scootaloo, I'm going to try something stupid.” I said to her as I got ready to cast an advance healing spell.
“Alright, I'll go see if I can find the princess.” She said as she turned through a corner.
I focused the spell on her stomach as something inside was starting glow. I stopped the spell as Twilight was finally waking up.
“Ugh, what happened?” She mumbled out as she opened her eyes.
“I don't know, Dad left us here because of those weird bug ponies that are attacking Canterlot and found you here.” I said to her as she sat up. She looked down at herself and saw Dad's jacket covered in her blood.
“Why is Jak jacket wrapped around my stomach, covered in blood?” She asked.
“I don't know, you have to ask him.” I said as I stood up.
“Nyx, I found the Princess!” I heard Sis shout out through the cave.
“Come on Twilight, we need to go help her.” I said to her as I guided Twilight towards the direction Scootaloo went.
After a few twists and turns, we finally got there and saw a bruised Princess Cadence chained up to the wall.
I shot a blast of magic at her chains, freeing her.
“Huh?” She said as she looked at us. She then turned to Twilight and tried to focus her sight on her.
“Twilight?” She asked.
“Yes Cadence, it's me.” Twilight said as she hugged Cadence.
“The wedding!?” Cadence shouted, wide eyed.
“About that, it was a trap for an invasion of bug ponies.” Scootaloo said, using a spooky voice when she said ‘bug ponies’.
“Yeah, and Spike had to use a Dark eco crystal.” I said to her.
“What!? Why!?” Twilight shouted.
“Because he was cornered and Dad was captured.” I said trying to avoid eye contact with a furious Twilight. She sighed as she calmed down.
“I'm sorry for shouting at you, it's just Spike doing that is dangerous.” She said, giving me a hug.
“Come on, we got a city to save.” Twilight said, about to teleport us all towards the ball room.
“Room for one more?” We heard a voice ask behind us. We all turned to look at whoever it was and saw Spike, still in his dark form.
Once we arrived at the ball room, we were greeted with the sight of Dad in his dark form, fighting the bug lady.
Dad was soon thrown towards the wall. The bug lady ran and grabbed his neck as she kept pounding him at the wall, then threw him to the side. Dad kept trying to get back up, only to be kicked back down by her.
“Don't you get it!? It's over, I've won. And with the love of this foolish stallion, I'll conquer all of Eques-” She didn't finish as somepony blasted her off Dad with light eco. I looked next to me and saw that Twilight had light blue glowing eyes and her hand was up.
PoV: Jak
‘Ow, ow, ow.’ were my only thoughts as Chrysalis kept slamming me to the wall. She then threw me to the side, like trash. I kept trying to get up but Chrysalis always kicked me back down.
“Don't you get it!? It's over, I've won! And with the love of this foolish stallion, I will conquer all of Eques-” She was blasted away by light eco.
“Get off him, you whore!” I looked to where the voice came from and saw a very furious Twilight with glowing light blue eyes. I took the chance to heal myself as Twilight kept blasting Chrysalis with Light eco in a fit of rage.
Once I healed myself, I stood up and walked over to Chrysalis. She got ready for another fight but this time, I had the upper hand as I changed into Eco sage form.
I punched her a few times in a small rhythm, then kicked her, again in rhythm. I teleported as I punched again a few times. Then threw her up and gave a strong uppercut.
While Chrysalis was still in the air, Spike teleported above her and kicked her. Once they landed, Spike took out his eco sword and dashed while hitting her with the sword.
“Supreme victory!” We all heard Pinkie shout out but ignored her. I picked up Chrysalis as she begged for mercy. I flew up straight to the skies out through the window and showed her what this little invasion is doing to her subjects.
“This is what is happening to your subjects. If you were a good queen, you would've seen this coming. Thousands of Changelings are dying, for something as idiotic as world domination.” I said as she looked at what she has done.
“I did this. My subjects, dying.” She said as she started to tear up.
“It's not too late to stop all this bloodshed.” I said to her.
“Please, make it stop, make it stop!” She sobbed out. I got ready to use my own version of the Royal Canterlot Voice.
“ENOUGH!!!!” I shouted, making everyone stop in their tracks.
“THE QUEEN HAS SURRENDERED! ALL REMAINING CHANGELINGS REPORT TO THE COURTYARD!!!” I shouted. I coughed out a bit, not used to shout that loud.
I flew down with Chrysalis behind me and landed in front of the palace gates. Daxter and Sig drove in and parked outside while Torn landed the Hellcat.
“It's over, the fight has been won by the ponies.” I said as everyone showed up. The changelings were very confused on what was going on.
“I have an idea on your punishment.” I said to Chrysalis, earning a sad nod from her.
“You and your changelings have to repair the damage caused by you.” I said to her.
“And then what, we starve to death afterwards!?” She shouted.
“What? No no, you will get love, I might have an idea on how to fix your food problem and I need you and your army. There's something heading to this planet and it's bad, real bad.” I said to her.
“What do you mean?” She asked.
“Well, a few months ago I was attacked by an old enemy that I thought was dead and he said to me before I killed him, that the Dark makers are coming back and in bigger numbers.” I said to her.
“The Dark makers? But they're just legends, a story you tell your kids in order to behave.” She said.
“They're real. Anyway, if you need any more information on them, feel free to ask Celestia."I said as I walked towards Spike, leaving Chrysalis to apologize to her subjects.
“Dude, how do you feel?” I asked him.
“Not a whole lot different but it's weird being like this.” He said, gesturing his dark form.
I took out the Light crystal from earlier and gave it to him.
“This should be enough light eco to change you back with no negative effects.” I said, slowly changing back to normal. Spike grabbed the crystal and crushed, letting the eco flow around him, changing him back to normal as well as healing him.
“Ow. That stung.” He said, rubbing the hand he used to crush the crystal.
“You get used to it.” I said to him before turning to look at Twilight.
“How are you feeling, Twi?” I asked her, sincerely worried about her.
“I'm fine. Why? Did something happen to me?” She asked.
“Well, when I woke up in the cavern, I found you, dead with a spike impaling your stomach.” I said to her.
“But I feel fine, better even.” She said.
“Wait, so the the crystal did work.” I said to her.
“What crystal?” She asked as she unwrapped the jacket, revealing the hole in her dress.
“I'll explain later, right now though, we need to help fix up the wedding for the real couple.” I said, looking over to Cadence who was now kissing Shining Armor.
“Alright.” She said as headed towards the ballroom to prepare for the real wedding.
After two hours of fixing up the place and getting the nobles to calm the fuck down by threatening them, we finally got the wedding underway.
Pyro showed up just in time before Cadence walked down the aisle. Of course, he had a few words from Fluttershy on not to be late for special occasions. Nano got to spend time with Pinkie after Al and Zii reattached his arm.
After the wedding ceremony, Rainbow Dash performed her Sonic Rainboom with the help of Alduin, launching at incredible speed.
Fluttershy had the birds sing in perfect sync during the wedding reception.
I could see Nano and Pinkie dancing together and faintly see Rainbow and Alduin dancing together as well. There are still some nobles who kept saying that the Queen should be put in the dungeon but that stopped once to them to the dungeons.
Twilight was getting apologies from her friends and brother while I stayed sitting by myself, thinking on how easily I could get angry and change.
‘Fuck, I need his help for this. Only he can help me control my anger, if he's willing of course.’ I thought as I stood up and walked towards Celestia.
“Tia.” I said, gaining her attention.
“I thought about today and how easily I changed to.my dark form, so came up with a conclusion and I know you won't like but I need his help.” I said to her, making her go wide eyed.
“But why? You can just learn yourself, right?” She asked, not wanting me to go.
“I can but’ll take me a hundred years if not more just to learn to resist the change and I don't want to risk hurting Twilight, Nyx and/or Scootaloo. He can teach me, after all he was the sage of green eco.” I said to her.
“Alright but what about Twilight and your two daughters?” She asked.
“I need you to tell them for me and I'll be gone for a month, exactly the amount of time I need.” I said to her.
“In a month, send Twilight to the crystal empire to save it. I want to try to convince him to come back.” I said, gaining a sad nod from her before eco blinking away.
PoV: Celestia
I just can't believe he need the help of that traitor. I just need to find a way to tell them gently.
“Princess, what happened to Jak?” I heard the voice of the displaced.
“He, well, went to get help with his changing problems, He's afraid if he can't control it that he might end up hurting Twilight or his daughters and won't be back for a month.” I said, trying my best to not look at him.
“Help from whom?” Pyro asked.
“From a friend turned adversary, King Sombra.” I said to him.
“What!?” He shouted, gaining the attention of Twilight and her friends.
“Princess, what's going on and where is Jak?” Twilight asked. I sighed to myself as I began to tell them what's happening.
“He's gone?” Twilight asked, tearing up.
“He left to help with his rage induced changes, he doesn't want to risk hurting you or his two daughters.” I said to her.
“But why couldn't he tell us himself?” She said wiping a few tears away.
“We can answer that.” Uncle Al said as he walked up with Uncle Zii following behind.
“He has a mental condition that makes hard for him to tell anyone anything, no matter who they are. He also gets random moments of depression, making him an anti-social person and hard to talk to. How Twilight got him to talk about his problems is still unknown to us, but we think it's because he trusts you Twilight.” Alduin said.
“He said he felt better after yesterday, did he lie about that?” Pyro asked them.
“No, he felt ten time better actually, it's just something he needs to control or else he might lose his mind in pure rage.” Zii said.
“When will he come back, princess?” Twilight asked me.
“In a month he should be done.” I said as I hugged my student.
PoV: Jak
Location: Frozen North
Two hours after departure
After telling Tia what I'm going to do, I packed my battle clothes and headed to the North, far far to the North.
I've been walking around this fucking blizzard for half an hour and decided to set up in a cave.
After setting up camp in the cave, I heard the sound of evil laughter.
“I don't have time for this, come out, I need to talk to you!” I shouted at nothing. Seconds later a shadow appeared in front of me.
“Now why would you need to talk to me, old friend” He sneered at me.
“I need your help.” I said, surprising him.
“With what? And why should I help you?” He asked, smirking at me.
“I need help to control my anger and you should care, because there's a fucking invasion of Dark makers coming this way in two years.” I said to him. He sat there in deep thought then let out a sigh.
“Alright, I'll teach you but that doesn't make us friends.” He said.
“Don't worry, I didn't plan to act all buddy buddy with you.” I said as he stood up and summoned his wooden staff.
“Let's go, training starts now!” He shouted at me as he hit me with the staff.
“Alright. This is going to be a fun won't it, Samos?” I asked him, earning an honest laugh from him.
“I'm sure it will.” He said as he let go of his cape and sat crossed legged and motioned for me to do the same.
I sat down in front of him crossed legged as he said the instruction on how to have a calm mind. Next Chapter: The Fear Master and The Sage Estimated time remaining: 37 Minutes
