So, a few days have passed since the whole dragon issue, and me, along with the other Tenno who had, for lack of a better term, gone rogue from Celestia, Luna, and Nightmare were in the relay. With her agents on the ground, Harmony had learned and told us that, since Spike had tried to stop me and that she found no evidence of corruption(1), Celestia had officially made him the leader of any operations meant to bring me and the others in, and said she had given frames to a few other ponies. Jeez, Celestia, can you spell hypocrite?

Anyway, I was in what passed for the entertainment section of the relay, mainly a library with a television that, according to Harmony, had most movies from my home before coming here, reading a book, when Harmony contacted me. Excalibur?

Yeah, Harmony? I asked. What's up?

As you know, I have champions in multiple versions of Equestria, with you being the one for this Equestria. One of them requires your abilities as assistance. Have you heard of something Fall of Equestria?

You mean the fan thing that started as a Tumblr thing that had a race called the Caribou take over all of Equestria and degrade any and all females, including Celestia and Luna, into nothing more than sex toys, resulting in something worse that the slave south, which would be something hard to top? I asked. No, I replied sarcastically. Why?

Funny. The reason I ask is because this particular champion is one of the leaders of the only resistance that's actually been able to succeed in their fight. He was badly wounded during his last fight, causing the resistance to want to take Manehattan, where that Discord resides, as revenge.

I face palmed. "Morons," I muttered. I'm guessing he's now waking up, and will need my help to take that Discord down?

Yes, Harmony replied. And keep in mind he's one of the few who touched the tree and I contacted. That may not mean much to you, Ex, but to me, it means they are important.

I sighed as I stood up, closing the book, and letting my frame envelop me. "Noted," I said as I made my way to the arsenal, each room having one for combat reasons, and equipped my Silva and Aegis, Soma, and Aksomati, the flames on the sword and shield matching the energy color of my frame, a pyra sugatra, matching the sword hilt colors, hanging off the end of the hilt. "Will I need the Liset, or you going to teleport me there?"

I'll teleport you there, then your ship when you'll need to get to Manehattan, Harmony said. Get ready. And, with that, my world vanished in a flash of light.

Resistance HQ-Valus Mau'ual-1st POV

My world came back slowly from the darkness that had been a constant since I spoke with Harmony but a week ago. The first thing that I was able to fully see was the white, pink haired alicorn by my side, sitting on a chair next to my hospital bed. "H-hello, Fleur," I managed to croak out, making her jump awake. "Good to see somepony's guarding me to make sure any traitors don't get to me," I said with a small smile and chuckle.

"Mau'ual! I didn't expect you t be up yet?"

"Why?" I said as I sat up, revealing I had on my black under suit, my voice quickly coming back. "Because I faced the forces of Darkness, with a capitol 'D', by the way, and nearly died?" I chuckled again. "Fleur, I have survived explosions to the face, often times multiple at once. It will take a lot to defeat me."

"Noted," she said. "Still, do you think you should be up?"

"I'd rather know how I'm still alive," I said.

"Celestia, Luna, and Nightmare were able to use a spell that kept your skin hydrated," Fleur replied.

"I'll make sure to thank them. Where are they, anyway?" Please don't let them be with the morons.

"With the army in Manehattan." Palm, meet face. "I tried to stop them, but couldn't. They didn't want to leave, but had to in order for them to even have a chance against Discord."

I sighed. "Armor. Where?"

"Just outside," Fleur said. "I figured you'd want it when you woke up. You wear just it about all the time."

I nodded. "My thanks, Fleur. We'll need it."

She looked at me with confusion on her face. "Why?" she asked.

"Because we're going to pull their assess out of the fire," I said as I left the room I was in, and saw my armor hanging by an iron hook. I took each part off as I put it on, my helmet being the last and held under my right shoulder as I walked back into the mad bay, and saw Fleur wearing the ponified Flayer armor that Harmony had given her-and just about every member of her squad and fighter from Ponyville- upon me freeing them from the Caribou. "You prepare quickly," I noted.

"Hours of practice," she replied as she slightly unfurled her wings. "Think we can get there in time?"

By yourselves, a voice I recognize,d but still made me and Fleur jump, said. But I may be able to help.

"Ah, Harmony," I said. "To what do we owe the pleasure?"

I said I'd have one of my champions help you with this, and I do not go back on my word, Harmony replied. Plus, it is worse than I thought it would be. With Discord, the Caribou crushed any fight within minutes, and are now having a city wide orgy. I think the only reason why Dainn isn't there is because they're too fuck happy to care right now. Oh, and the champion will arrive in three. . .two. . .one.

As she hit zero, there was a small flash of light, causing Fleur and I to avert our eyes. Whne the glow faded, I looked, and saw what I swear was a deformed unicorn, as it had a horn that was blunt at the top, sprouted at the scalp level just above the forehead, and had actual feet, no hooves.
Better than last time," I heard him mutter.

"And you are?" I asked, quickly putting my helmet on as I saw the weapons-one looking like a rifle Guardians would use, though with what I assumed to be the magazine being a half circle across the bottom with it all matching his colors, blue with red, yellow, and purple accents, a pair of pistols with similar magazines colored similarly, and armor plating over its left forearm that looked like bone-and prepared my own.

"The name's Excalibur. And no relation to the sword other than me having a preference for those types of weapons," he said. "Before you ask, short version of what I am is that I'm a human operating what's called a Warframe, which essentially allows me to do some crazy shit, and I'm already aware I'm in a universe where the Caribou are winning." He stopped, and looked me over. "Huh. A guy dressed as Valus Mau'ual from the shield brothers strike. Never heard of that before. Or any Cabal displaced, really."

"Can we discuss this later?" I asked. Harmony, get us there now.

Of course, Mau'ual.

With that, a flash of light occurred, with Excalibur muttering, "Here we go again," and we vanished from the med bay.

Outside Manehattan-Excalibur

We reappeared, the flash in our eyes dissipating quickly. "Just like normal teleportation," Mau'ual remarked.

"Only you get used to it quicker," I replied as I looked over the city. "From a distance, it looks the same from my version of Equestria."

"I'm guessing that you don't have to deal with the Caribou?" Fleur asked.

"Not even at Discord's return, yet," I replied. "Before you ask, I'm going to say dimensional rifts and gods loving to have fun is why I'm here at this point in time while you guys are where?"

"Three years after the fall, which would be just after season three finale," Mau'ual replied.

"Discord helping them out?" I asked.

"That's why we're here," the Valus replied. "Shall we?"

"Let's," I said as I checked my Soma, making sure it had it's full hundred shot clip, and my HUD showed it had the Primed reserve of eight hundred. Shields were full, and health rating at seven eighty, energy at full with a single streamline-maxed out- for less activation cost. Needless to say, I was a fucking destruction machine. Shame I don't have Iron skin as an ability. Ah well. "But first, I think our entrance needs music."

"Agreed," Mau'ual said. "But wait until we are near the largest part of the Caribou group."

That would be near the city center, Harmony said. Actually, there's a huge building there, most likely Discord's doing, where every Caribou soldier and Resistance member is currently.

"Fun," I said. "Harmony, can you bring my Archwing in?"

Of course, she said before a small orb of light appeared, and the Elytron appeared before it made its way to my back and attached to the frame, and had me begin to hover off the ground.

"You guys able to fly?"

"Yes," Mau'ual said as he activated thrusters placed on his back, and Fleur opened her wings-when did she get those?- and flew up to my level.

"Then let's go," i said, and flew off towards the building, which Harmony highlighted on my HUD. The building itself resembled the Empire state building back home, only larger, and with a giant. . .well, this is a world of male superiority, guess what it is at the top.

"The glass is bound to be reinforced by Discord's magic!" Fleur was able to yell over the wind raging past us, to which I laughed as I pulled out the Imperator.

"Then it's a damned good thing i have a key!" I yelled back as I positioned my self to where the Elytron was still at max thrust, but i could still fire the gun. "Harmony? Care to mod the bullets so they can work against his magic?"

On it.

Inside the building-Celestia-3rd

Today was, without a doubt, one of the worst days in Celestia's life. Not the worst, but in the top five.

It had started out as well as she had expected: she, Luna, Nightmare, and Chrysalis, with Fleur staying behind should Mau'ual wake up, led the attack on Manehattan, which was only an hour ago. It had, quite obviously, gone to Tartarus in a hand basket rather quickly, with Discord using his perverted-literally and figuratively-to stop the Resistance from fighting, and making males lose control of their bodies-they were still themselves, just no control over their limbs, the head being the exception- and removing any and all armor on the mares, does, and griffonesses. And that was before he teleported them all to his penthoue, which ha dhad expanded with his magic, for a huge rape orgy.

Far as Celestia could tell, every female here was black collared, meaning Discord hadn't corrupted any yet, so there was that upside. On the downside, all three alicorns and the changeling queen, with Silver being used by the Caribou governor of the city, were Discord's play toys now.

She had been the most recently used one by the god of chaos, who was now using her sister. "You know, I did miss these little bonding, or, rather, bondage, sessions," Discord said as he hilted himself in Luna, who was gagged and with a nullifier ring around the base of her horn, as like all the mare unicorns and the few does with horns, to prevent her use of magic. "Then again, you mares always did like to mess things up."

"Oh, please, like you haven't, traitor," Nightmare growled. "You're the god of Chaos. Messing things up is practically your job."

"Oh shut up, Nightmare," Discord said, snapping his fingers and placing a ball gag in Nightmare's mouth. "You know, at least the one good thing to come of that demon was that another alicorn cunt was made to use."

Nightmare tried to roar through the gag, but was unable to. Not that it was heard over all the screaming and moaning, but still. Though, one thing that was heard was the sound of glass breaking, which, out of fear, made everything stop, as none knew where it had come from, but all were afraid of being sucked out of the building due to air pressure. And then, "Sir, look!"

A Caribou soldier pointed out the norther window, making any who could, just about any female not being taken from both ends, look, and see three blurs moving quickly and growing, with one quickly resolving into Mau'ual, the second into Fleur, and the third into something else.

"What the-" Discord started before Mau'ual reached the window, and used his mauler to break it open, allowing him and Fleur in, and the third being to launch off whatever had been carrying him. Mau'ual crushed a Caribou soldier's head in upon his landing, Fleur launched two more out the window with her magic, while the third grabbed what looked like a bone off its left forearm, and pulled it off, causing a fiery blade and shield of green to appear as he spun, cutting even more Caribou in half.

"Miss me, assholes," Mau'ual said to the Caribou. "'Cause I'm back."

"Harmony, mind teleporting the females out of here so we don't kill them in the crossfire?" the third being, which looked like a deformed unicorn said to nopony. "Well, if so, teleport them out and give them some armor and weapons. Is it really that hard?" Celestia wondered if he was crazy, but a flash of light indicated her being teleported, and, when it faded, she was wearing her armor, and was outside near the entrance of the building, a sword in one hand, shield in another.

"That was. . .interesting," Nightmare said, also wearing her armor and with a scythe in both arms.

"Indeed it was," Luna said. "But for now, I think we should clear the lower floors of th ebuilding, and make our wya to where Mau'ual and the other two are."

"Agreed," Celestia said.

"Fighters!" Chrysalis yelled at the Resistance ranks. "Get in there, and cut them to ribbons!"

A cheer rose up from the fighters, and they began to pour into the building, eager to cut the Caribou apart.

Mau'ual-1st

"So, was it you, or another version that talked to me when I first spoke with Harmony?" I asked, Caribou soldiers and their male supporters surrounding us, weapons in hand and nothing for protection. In both terms of the word I mean.

"Probably a weaker version of me who needs to be shown where mares lot in life is," Discord said. "Like you really," he said before snapping our fingers, with nothing happening. "What?" he asked in surprise.

""Harmony kinda shielded us from your bullcrap," Excalibur said as he held the sword in his hand over the shield and ducked behind it in case someone was stupid enough to attack him. "I'm her champion in my Equestria, and Mau'ual's apparently the one here. For Fleur? Yeah, I'm just assuming she has that kind of will."

"Thanks," Fleur said as I heard her use her magic to create an etheric sword. I will assume Celestia and Luna taught her that trick while I was out.

"No problem," Excalibur said. "So, which one of you morons wants to die next?"

"Why let them choose?" I asked. "They're gonna die anyway."

"Fair point," Excalibur said. "Time to kick some ass." And with that, he put the sword into the shield, causing it to collapse, brought his right arm up, a green, glowing blade appearing in a reverse grip, and thrust it into the floor, causing twelve of our future victims to be sent flying into and impaled to the ceiling. Excalibur then ripped the blade out of the floor, and brought it into a two handed grip. "Let's go."

As the music began to play, I activated my thrusters, and charged head first, or, rather, mauler first, into a horde of Caribou soldiers as I saw Excalibur make his way to Discord, and Fleur hold off a group of stallions that charged her. Without their armor, just about everything but Discord fell, whether by mauler or blade, with ease. Only a few actually had on armor, and that didn't cover much, nor where they were hit, thus doing a net protection of nothing for them, putting them in the same boat as the others.

Just as I brought my mauler down on the nth Caribou soldier's head, crushing it with a wet crack, I looked up, and saw Excalibur holding his own against Discord, though having gone back to his shield and sword combo. I saw Discord lunge at him with his griffon talon, but he was able to leap back near the edge of the floor, where numerous soldiers encircled him. He simply swung the sword, killing a few, then threw his shield into the mob, the blazing shield tearing through six enemies before it came back to him, making him jump into the air as he went forward, and put the shield under his feet as it was spinning. He hit the floor and essentially sled through the enemies in front of him and cutting others in half before jumping up, and just slicing any around him. How do you even do that?

Anyway, I also saw Fleur using her magic to blast a few stallions and bucks into ash as they got close, and fended the others off with her sword.

"Alright, that is it!" I heard Discord yell before he snapped his talons, causing-oh, fuck you, universe! He just summoned in a horde of Taken.

"Aw, fuck," I heard Excalibur say, and I agreed entirely as they charged us.
