-Canterlot-

"You broke out of that cell on PURPOSE!" Princess Celestia yelled at Rex with a glare. Then, softening her tone, she continued. "And for that I am grateful. Sombra could've done serious damage, had you not come along." she said to the stallion.

"Thanks, I think?" Rex said with a slight grin.

"As for YOU, changeling, you are in BIG trouble." Celestia growled at Venom.

"Venom." the former Dilophosaurus corrected, rolling his eyes.

It was then that Owen Grady slowly stirred into consciousness. "Wha happened?" he asked groggily, rising to his hooves. "Ow." he muttered holding a hoof to his forehead with pain.

Rex turned to look at the Velociraptor trainer with a look of confusion. "Hey... I know you." he said, remembering the little man he saw while battling the Indominus. It was the blue shirt and vest that caught the stallion's attention.

"Oh?" Owen asked, walking up in front of the broken horned pony. He then noticed a marking on the stallion's hip that set him off.
"Y-you're that T Rex that was fighting the I Rex." he exclaimed, taking a step back at the thought of the tyrannosaur taking his head clean from his shoulders.

"Brilliant, Holmes." Rex growled sarcastically. "Now then, I never caught your name."

"Owen Grady." the trainer replied, eyeing the pony suspiciously.

"I'm not going to eat you! Why does everybody seem to think that?!" Rex growled in irritation, his eyes seeming to flare with his built up rage.

"Maybe it's because you were a... How do I put this? I know! A TYRANNOSAURUS REX!!" Venom yelled at the furious stallion, his frill of skin swinging out and quivering.

"True, true." the stallion replied, nodding his head in agreement.

"Now then." Princess Celestia started, catching Rex's attention. "I see that you are experienced in the field of battle. So I am prepared to make you a deal." she continued.

"EXPERIENCED!!" Rex burst out laughing. "I've been stuck in a cage for years, living off of GOAT! You call THAT experienced?" the stallion snorted. "I was built for hunting. This fighting thing comes with luck. Until you stalk and overrun, you can not kill anyone." Rex said, remembering the phrase from humans.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Venom asked, looking up at the unicorn.

"It's a figure of speech." Rex whispered.

"Can we focus on what I was going to say, please?" the monarch asked, slightly irritated. Rex nodded. "Good. This deal, more like, you don't have much of a choice. I am going to make you a Celestial guard." she told the pony.

"WHAT?!! There is NO way that you are going to make me protect a bunch of lousy, flea ridden ponies." Rex growled at the alicorn. It was then that two guards walked to either side of the stallion. "Uh... I mean, when do I start?" he stammered with a nervous grin.

"That's better." Celestia said with a smile.

-Canterlot Guard's Barracks-

A muscular armored stallion approached Rex with a cheery grin crossing his face. "Nice to meet ya. Name's Ratchet." he said, holding a hoof in front of Rex. The large stallion gazed down at the hoof and raised an eyebrow. "You know what? Forget it. You don't even know where it's been." Ratchet chuckled, turning to a pile of clothing. "Speaking of names, you got one?" he asked.

"Rex." the unicorn replied flatly.

"Nice." Ratchet said with a smile. "Tell me, Rex. You got any family?" the former mechanic asked with a smile.

"No." he acknowledged.

"Oh... Well, MY family is in Ponyville. I don't see 'em often. You should meet them. Nice bunch. I got a brother, a sister in law, and a niece." Ratchet told the stallion, turning around. "Put your head down." the stallion commanded.

Rex listened and lowered his head, where Ratchet placed a metal helmet on the unicorn's head. "There. A little tight, but it'll work. How's it feel?" he asked.

"Comfortable." Rex replied, lifting his head back up.

"Good. You from around here?" Ratchet asked.

"No. I'm from Jurassic World." the unicorn replied. "It's on an island called Isla Nublar." Rex continued, felling the helmet with his hoof. "Which is in... Central America? I think." he said with a questioning tone.

"Round here we call it Isla Neighblar." Ratchet said with a confused look.

"I'm not from Equestria. I'm from Earth, where I was a Tyrannosaurus Rex." he snorted in response.

"I know what a T Rex is. I DON'T know what Earth is." Ratchet explained.

It was then that a teenage pegasus entered the room. "Obsidia." Rex exclaimed, a warm smile crossing his normally angry face. "It's nice to see you again."

"Hello Rex." the light brown pegasus said with a grin.

"Obsidia!" Ratchet happily laughed, wrapping his arms around his niece in a bear hug and lifting her off of her hooves. "When did you arrive?" he then asked, letting her down.

"A couple days ago." she replied. "Dad was saved by somepony, so we brought him here."

"What brings you to these parts of the castle?" Ratchet asked, his smile morphing into a frown.

Obsidia pointed at Rex. "Him." she said. The large unicorn grimaced at the prospect of the pegasus coming to see the former Tyrannosaurs.

"You know each other?" Ratchet asked with confusion crossing his voice briefly.

"A little." Rex replied. "She helped to calm me down when I was first captured." he continued.

"Oh." the guard said. "Now then, where IS your father?" Ratchet asked the pegasus with a smile. "It's been weeks since I've seen him." he continued.

"He's talking to Princess Celestia." Obsidia answered.

"Thank you." Ratchet said, walking to the door.
