FIGHT LIKE HELL, FIGHT LIKE DOOM MARINES!

Ch.2: Retaliation unto the Damned...

"... And that just about covers up everything of this war." Chrysalis finished explaining why all of this was happening. From the sound of things, her sister, Cocoon, she might as well be a Demon in disguise herself, and I have faced Demonic Shapeshifters. Or Possessed. But that's just my opinion, I don't know much about her kind, and only just met them. The good ones, I mean, the ones I haven't killed.

Anyway, she explained, that back then, before all of this, Chrysalis crashed a Royal Wedding. She replaced the bride herself, a young Alicorn named Cadence, and trapped her within the Crystal Caverns, underneath the castle. When she was found out though, it was already too late, her Hive have already surrounded the city. And with the Captain of the Royal Guard, who apparently was the big brother of that other young Alicorn I saw before... Twilight Sparkle, was it? Yeah, that's her name. Anyway, he was under Chrysalis's mind-control, feeding her with love...

Yeah, weird, and yet, somewhat ingenious. A race that feed on a beings emotions. Not to mention, they can feel what you're feeling, and identify that said feeling.

Of course, in the end, she still lost. Cadence is known as the Princess of Love, ironically enough, and with her love for her future husband, she managed to bring him back around. Okay, so here's where things get a little confusing for me, perhaps somewhat maddening even, as in crazy. Somehow, the two soon-to-be wedded couple, with their love for each other, used that as a weapon, and repelled Chrysalis and her Hive, clear out of the city.

Good thing they didn't cause genocide, otherwise they would have been made the bad guys.

After that, she and her Hive returned to their home, out in the wastelands. During the last couple of years or so, she had been weighing on whether or not she should peacefully negotiate with Equestria. A couple of weeks later, Cocoon decided to drop in and assassinate her, destroy the Hive, and conquer Equestria with her own. During that time, she revealed that she was using Chrysalis. Reminding her on how she does things. She convinces you to do this, you take the charge, win it, and then get stabbed in the back.

Yeah, a pretty classic strategy there.

Chrysalis, of course, fought back, only to realise that Cocoon was more stronger than before. She was tough to beat before, but now, to her, it seemed as if she was trying to crack open a mountain with her bare hands. With no other option, she teleported herself, and her Hive, out of there.

After convincing Tia and the rest of the country, they tried to prepare for the coming storm, upon which they didn't have enough time. Unfortunately, even though they were on the same side, there have been some 'Roadblocks' here and there. The Ponies didn't trust the Changelings, not after what happened last time, that it wasted even more time to get things done.

That was two months ago, until the shit hit the fans. Only then, did they all got their acts together and fought the true enemy. Still though, they suffered more casualties than the other side.

No one expected Cocoon to have amassed such a big army with in her Hive. Chrysalis suspects she produced it way before convincing her to invade Equestria.

"So, how did you know of me?" I asked her, sitting up-right now.

"Well, we only knew you through legends." She stated her answer. "Although, there are still a lot of things that no one seem to find the answers to. Answers you and the other Doom Marines have yet to tell."

"Well, excuse us, but we were busy fighting Demons that kept pouring out from whence they came." I said as I fully got off my ass, cracking my knuckles.

"Er... Sorry." She said to me, seeming to realise she was trending on a touchy subject.

"Whatever." I waved it off. "It doesn't matter."

"Just one question though; where are the others?" She asked me.

"Gone." I simply answered her.

"Gone?"

"Well, they're not dead, if that's what you were thinking." I rolled my eyes, not that she could see, with my helmet hiding my face.

"Oh... So, where are they?" She asked again.

"I told you this already."

"I know, but do you know where they gone to, is the question?" She explained a bit more.

"No. We went on separate missions, and I was the only one to return back before the others." I started explaining. "Two days later, they have yet to come back. So I set out to find them, going to each of where their missions took place. I found no trace of them, not even their bodies."

"How do you know they haven't died?"

"Because everything else was lying dead." After saying that, I saw Luna walking through the massive doorway towards me.

"My Doom Marine, I hope you're not planning on resting. We need to reach the Crystal Empire and see what has become of it." She stated her next move.

But before we could get going, Chrysalis asked. "That's another question; what are your names? You just called yourselves Doom Marines and that's it."

When she asked this, I saw Luna shifting left and right, in an uncomfortable way. "Well, that's not entirely true. Sister and I know of their true names. But..."

"Bryan." I told her, surprising Luna by this decision of mine.

"What?" Chrysalis said.

"My name, it's Bryan." I told her again.

"It's... Nice to finally meet you?" She said, feeling a little awkward from this.

"... This is a lot to take in, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it kind of is." She chuckled a little bit before speaking some more. "Although, I have one last question."

"And that would be?"

"May I accompany you both?" This was a surprise for us.

"Why?" Luna asked, though a bit agitated.

"Because I'd like to see him in action." Chrysalis answered her, while pointing towards me. "I want to see the prowess of his abilities."

"That's all?" I asked her, feeling suspicious about her motives.

"Pretty please~~?" She tried pulling that face with the puppy eyes, but all she got out of me was laughter, which confused her.

"Hahaha! Oh my god woman. Okay, you can come along." Holding out a hand to her, I waited for her to take it. Hesitantly, she took it and I helped her up on her hole-y hooves. That's still weird though, I'm surprised it didn't collapse on her. Not that it matters right now.

Cycling through my weapons, I reloaded the Super Shotgun, and started switching mods for the others we'll be needing. Heavy Assault Rifle with Micro Missiles. Gauss Cannon with Siege. Chaingun with Gatling Rotator. Plasma Rifle with Heatwave. And Rocket Launcher with Lock-On. I switched out my Savagery rune with the In-Flight Mobility. I won't be staying on the ground, I'll be jumping from building to building.

"Wow..." I heard Chrysalis said in awe. "I've never seen so many weapons before. Where do you even store them?"

"How the Hell should I know? It's just a lot scientific horseshit and whatnot." I told her off, turning to look at little Lulu. "Luna, I'll be heading back and replenish my armor. Get the spell ready, so when I come back, we're leaving straight away."

"Well, if you say so..." She said as she prepared the spell.

"Wait!!" We heard shouting from the doorway. Looking to see who it was, it was that Twilight Sparkle character running towards us.

"You can explain it to her. Also Chrysalis..."

"Yes?" She replied.

"Don't tell her of my name. You're lucky enough to have even been told of it, by me no less." I stated firmly, and she nodded. With that done, I headed back downstairs to where I was imprisoned.

Speaking of which, I'll deal with Tia when I get the chance...

(Princess Luna, Throne room...)

"Hey, wait!!" I heard Twilight shouted, seemingly wanting to go after dear Bryan. But both Chrysalis and I stopped her from entering. "What are you two doing!?"

"Stopping you from antagonizing him." Chrysalis chided snidely. "He's busy at the moment."

Twilight didn't take kindly to that. Glaring up at her, she was going to offer a retort, but I stopped her.

"Twilight Sparkle, please do not disturb the Doom Marine." I told her, with a seriousness imbedded into those words.

"But--!" She try to talk, but I cut her off.

"I mean it, Princess Sparkles." I stated firmly, using her title.

She flinched at that, seeing as how she never wanted us to use her princess title. But when me and my sister use it, it's in a very serious matter, of sorts.

Her ears fell flat against her head, looking sadly dejected. Sighing, I hugged her. "I'm sorry Twilight, but it would be within your best interest to not question him." After saying that, I let go of her.

"But why?" She asked solemnly. "Why can't I question him?"

I sighed again. "He's not one for talking to strangers, so to speak. By that, I mean he's very secretive about his past. Not to mention, you'll only annoy him."

"Do you and Celestia know?"

"Yes. But we are sworn to secrecy ourselves, as well." I said as I let go of her, taking a step back. "Now, do you wish to come with us? We're heading towards the Crystal Empire. I know you must be worried sick about Shining and Cadence." I asked her.

"Please." She answered.

Nodding my head, I looked at Chrysalis, a little bit concerned. "Are you sure you want to come along? Even after that fight you and Tia had with Cocoon?"

Looking herself over, seeing the bruises, scratches, scraps, and little gashes, she shrugs at this. "It stings, but I can walk this off. Mostly." Well, at least she's honest.

I heard Twilight huff at this. "If you ask me, you're a liability."

"Oh no..." I shook my head, seeing where this is going to go.

Chrysalis hissed at that remark. "Says the one who was doing nothing!" She retorted.

Before Twilight could utter another word, a few warning shot rang out. Snapping our heads towards Bryan, he held his Pistol high up, pointing it up before bringing it down, and firing a couple more near our hooves, making us jump away.

"That's enough, both of you! Or you're not coming!" He shouted as he descended down towards us.

Walking up to Chrysalis, she held her hands up. "N-now, now! Let's not get any violent here!" She pleaded, but that didn't stop him from shoving the end of his pistols barrel under her chin. Forcing her to look up.

"Don't you fucking tell me what to do." He growled deeply, which made Chrysalis's form shook uncontrollably.

Nodding her head frantically, he removed his Pistol, but aimed it at Twilight, who stared down the end of the barrel, eyes wide in fear.

"And you, shut the fuck up, and do as you're told." He stated to her. When she didn't say anything, he placed his Pistol away, switching to his Plasma Rifle.

"So... Shall we?" I asked him, making sure not to enrage him any further.

"Hold up, I brought these." Bringing a hand up, he was holding three Tactical Communications, or Tac Comms for short. "All of you, put them on your ears."

Taking mine, I placed it on my left ear, while the other two hesitantly took theirs and did the same as I did. "I suppose you activated the Comm Link?" I asked him.

"Pretty much." He answers me. "Anyway, we should get going. Land us close to the city boundaries, not inside it." Nodding my head, I teleported us just outside. But what we didn't expect when we got there, was the weather.

For some odd reason, we were stuck within a blizzard. I know we were up North, but this is a bit too early for it to be happening!

"Why is this happening!? There shouldn't be a blizzard!" I heard Twilight shout, but just barley. The roars of the blizzards winds were strong, I could hardly stand against it, nor see through it. Not to mention the cold!

I heard some static from my Tac Comm coming to life. "Alright, can everyone hear me through their Comms!?" It was Bryan, speaking through the Comms.

Placing two fingers against mine, I tried speaking through it. "I copy! What about you two!? Say something!"

"I can barley see anything two feet in front of me! Are we going or are we going to freeze to death!?" Okay, there's Chrysalis. Now where's Twilight?

"I'M BUCKING FREEZING HERE!!!" Well, at least she's holding out...

I felt a metallic hand grabbed one of mine and pulled me along. Soon I felt another hand, this one full of holes, which belonged to Chrysalis. Immediately, I felt her grip mine tightly, as I did the same. Bryan, my Doom Marine, always thinking of the best, possible actions to take.

"If we make it out of this, I'm gonna kill him!" I heard Chrysalis say through the Comms.

"The next time we go through something like this, I'm leaving you behind!" Bryan answered back. I felt Chrysalis being jerked the other way, possibly from him making her hold onto Twilight.

Soon I felt him grab a hold of mine again. "Alright Luna, which way!?" He asked me.

"Just go straight! I teleported us at the front entrance!" I answered him and he started walking, pulling us along with him. Walking through this kind of weather isn't really the best idea, but it's all we can do now. The winds kept blowing and knocking us down from time-to-time, but my Doom Marine kept us marching through it all.

Luckily I didn't land us so far away, but we should have reached the Crystal Empire by now.

"HALT!!!" We heard him yelled over the Comms and immediately did so. Was there something out there? Was it Cocoon's second army? After he told us that, I felt him let go of my hand. "Girls! Huddle up and hunker down! Do it now, you'll stay warmer for a little while longer!" Doing as he instructed, we huddled up closely and tightly, and hunkered down.

"N-n-now w-what!?" Chrysalis asked through her chittering teeth.

"Combine your magic and place a barrier around yourselves!"

"W-what a-a-about y-you!?" I asked next, hearing the winds howling loudly.... Wait, howling??

"Don't argue, just do it! NOW!!!" Doing as he said, we let our horns touch each other's and created a strong enough barrier to protect us from the blizzard.

Now that the wind wasn't blowing in our faces, I wiped away the frost and snow from my eyes. The others did the same as well. Unfurling my wings, I wrapped each one around the girls. Following my example, Twilight did the same, as we cuddled even more closely to Chrysalis, since she's worse for ware.

Unfortunately, the moment of silence and rest was interrupted, when we heard howls being carried by the blizzards winds. But these howls, they felt familiar. Impossible. It can't be them. They are extinct.

"What the Hell!?" I heard Bryan said, before aiming his Plasma Rifle ahead of us. "Something's coming this way! Multiple contacts!"

Eventually, I can see something running through this blizzard, unhindered by the weather's effects. But barley. It's as if this thing is...blending within this storm. Oh no. Please, no. Let it not be true!

I was hoping against hope, which was practically futile, because it is true. They are still alive.

"My Doom Marine, beware! Frostwolves!" I screamed over the Comms, and true to these creature's name, they were like their counterparts; Timberwolves. While they reside in the Everfree Forest, Frostwolves thrive from the frozen lands; Crystallised ice was what they were made out of, with a glowing ice blue light, emanating from their eyes.

Bryan, upon seeing them running towards us, opened fire. Shooting plasma bolts at the charging pack. He managed to kill a couple of them, but the rest of them broke up and started disappearing into the blizzard. Elusive predators these one are, a tad bit more cunning, too. What's worse, we were losing daylight very quickly, and the winds had picked up, hampering my Doom Marines ability to aim straight.

"Princess Luna, what are those things!?" Twilight asked frantically. "They almost resemble Timberwolves!"

"They are known as Frostwolves, but they should have been extinct!" I answered her.

"'Extinct'?"

"Yes, extinct. How are they still alive!?"

"Wait a minute, I-I though they were a myth!?" Chrysalis chided in her input.

"That's what they say, until it comes back around to say otherwise! Like me!!" Bryan commented before firing a volley of Plasma bolts at one of the Frostwolves running around, getting close but then backing off immediately. "FUCKING DAMMIT!!! HOLD STILL YOU BITCH!!!"

This has been going on for nearly an hour, until we heard a very loud, and powerful howl, cutting through this blizzard. Its signal seemed to rally the ones that were playing with us, as they howled back themselves, they came out from their hiding places, and started running back towards whence they came. Not only that, but the blizzard seem to have lighten up now. I wonder if it was them to have created this blizzard. Probably most likely, but none of that matters now, we are safe for now.

Bryan didn't move from his spot. I thought that he was frozen in place, but he was only making sure they were truly gone. Looking back at us, he bent down on one knee to get within our eye level.

"I don't know what in Damnation is going on, but you'll have to wait here." He said to us, speaking normally instead of through the Comms. "I'll scout ahead."

"Be careful, my Doom Marine." I said to him. He nodded, as he got back up and walked on ahead, until I could no longer see him.

A few minutes later, I saw him running back towards us. "Come on! We gotta go! Now!" He said to us urgently.

"Why? Is it those beast!?" I asked him.

"No, it's about the damn city!" He answers. Dropping the barrier, we got up and started running towards the Crystal Empire.

When we were coming close, we can see why it was urgent. The Crystal Empire has been captured...

(Twilight Sparkle, outside the Crystal Empire...)

"Oh no..." I whispered helplessly. The Crystal Empire has been captured, imprisoned in its very own defensive barrier, only this barrier wasn't theirs. It was Cocoon's Changelings now. "Shiny... Cadence..."

"Is there a way of getting inside, without tripping any alarms?" I heard the Doom Marine asked, while Unpleasant thoughts were running through my head. The things they would have done to them...

"Yes, there is, luckily enough." Chrysalis answered. "I can still interact with this barrier. Opening a way through."

"Do it!" The Doom Marine demanded.

Chrysalis walked up to it, placing both hands on the barrier. She channelled her magic to create an opening, although she seem to be struggling. "Well... I can't do this all day... Hurry!"

I was the first to enter through, followed by Luna herself. We waited for the Doom Marine, but he went behind Chrysalis and kicked her through, which lead to the opening closing on us.

"Ow! What are you doing!?" Chrysalis hissed quietly to him. The only answer we got from him, was this strange looking cannon he pulled out of nowhere. Looking towards Luna, her expression was that of stunned shock, as if... Wait, he can't be serious!?

"You got ten seconds to hide until..." As he talked, his posture and cannon shifted and changed slightly, the cannon itself was charging up. "... I make my own way through." He's serious.

Before any of us could try and talk him out of this, Luna grabbed both me and Chrysalis, and started running as if her tail caught fire! Sprinting through the desolated city, we turned around a corner into an alleyway, and Luna sat us down.

"Okay. I think we're far away now. Just stay hidden and quiet for now." She said as we were hiding behind some crates.

"Luna, why did you make us leave him all alone?" I asked her, a little confused about this decision.

"Because..." She started, but stopped when we heard a very loud explosion, awaking the entire occupied city. Soon, the skies and streets were filled with thousands of Changelings responding to the Doom Marine. "Because he's bait."

"Bait?" Chrysalis asked her.

"Yes." Luna answered. "Whenever he pulls out a heavy weapon, it means he's mad."

"'Mad'? As in crazy, or angry?"

"A bit of both, but mostly the latter." Luna stated, before looking to me. "Twilight, do you remember how he massacre those Changelings back in Canterlot?"

"Yes." I answered her, shuddering at that memory. "But what was that? It was unlike anything I've ever seen, or felt."

"That was his Berserker power-up you witness. It gives him incredible raw power to destroy any and all with his bare hands." She explained. "Although, there are some side effects, such as short-temper, aggressive behaviour, etc. You've seen how he resolved you and your fight with Chrysalis."

"Yes, with violence." After answering that, we heard the screams of the dying from the Changelings fighting against him.

"Exactly. Which is why you never argue with him, otherwise he'll send you Tartarus."

"Looks like he's on the move..." Chrysalis spoke as she listened in on the Changeling soldiers, speaking within their native tongue, just outside the alleyway we were in. "He's heading off, going around the east side of the city, using the rooftops."

"And?" I asked her.

"And just slaughtering his way through them, high and low... Wait." Her ears perked up at something. "Oh no..."

"What is it?" Luna asked her.

"They have a Tanker on station." When she said that, we looked at her confusedly. Sighing, she explained. "A Tanker is basically a heavily armored, stronger, bigger Changeling. They are only needed if we want to clear something out. But for the most part, just for defensive purposes."

I was now feeling a little worried for him, but Luna didn't seem to be bothered by this in the slightest.

"Fear not, for the poorly deprived fools. They will meet there end soon enough, just like the rest." She chanted with a small smile.

I was about to ask her something, but we heard a ruckus from behind us. Startled, we readied ourselves for whatever it was, only to be surprised by who came out from underneath.

"Your majesties, this way! Hurry!" A Crystal Guardspony whispered to us. Doing as he said, we followed after him down a rabbit hole. Figuratively speaking.

Lighting up the place, we were in a tunnel. The Crystal Guardpony waved the hand to us, urging us to follow him. "This way, I'll take you to what remains of our forces."

I wanted to ask him on what happened, but withhold it for now, and followed him. Sometime later, we arrived at a dead end. Or so I thought. He pressed one of the bricks in and opened up the way forward.

"Welcome to the Underground Sanctum." He said as we walked inside. The place was filled with refugees, but at least it was spacious. Anything else beyond that, it was a little depressing to see them all so sad. "This is one of the many spread throughout the Empire. And I suppose you have question regarding your family, Princess Sparkle."

"Yes. Please tell me, what happen to Shiny and Cadence?"

With a heavy sigh, he closed his eyes for a moment before opening and looking at me. "It pains me to say this, but both Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor have been captured. Prior of two days after they captured the city, almost a month ago..."

(Bryan/Doom Marine. Surface...)

"Cut him off!"

"Are you crazy!? We can't beat that thing!"

"Coward!"

Jesus, you think they would give it up. After blasting my way through the barrier, the alarms started blazing throughout the entire city. Switching to my Heavy Assault Rifle, I ran for it, taking some detours here and there. To see if I can get up on the rooftops.

Conveniently, there was a stack of big wooden crates, making a staircase for me to climb up. Of course, the Changelings were chasing me down, but either they get filled with more holes in unnecessary areas on their bodies, or get tagged by the constant barrage of Micro Missiles and blowing up into millions of bloodied pieces, you couldn't even tell if that's their head, or their ass.

Anyway, I was running and jumping from roof-to-roof. Killing those little bugs along the way, however I want them to die. I even seen them arguing with each other upon who should take me on. Whipping out my Rocket Launcher, it locked onto one of them and I fired a cluster of rockets, killing the large group in the process.

This has been going on for a while, along with some Glory-kills, until the rooftop I was on before got blasted within seconds. If I was standing on that any longer, that might've been me instead. Jumping down into an alleyway, I ran through it and turned left, entering in another. This one was filled with crates and whatnot, kind of giving off that resemblances to one of the original DOOM stages. Arming myself with the Super Shotgun, I zig-zag my way through it, and quietly.

Soon I heard a woman's voice. "P-p-please, don't do this..." She was in distress. Rounding the last pillar of crates, I saw her seated on top of some crates, being held there by a Changeling.

I clenched my free hand as I heard him laugh a little, before speaking as if he owed her life. "Now, now. There's nothing wrong with this. We're both adults, after all." After that, he holds up a gag ball to her face.

"Please, no..." She pleaded more, turning her head away, with eyes closed shut.

Yet, this sick fuck was purring in amusement. Since he was using his magic to restrain her, he used his hand, placing it under her chin, and lead it back to his smug looking one. Rubbing his nose against hers, she was crying at this point, as he gave her a quick kiss. Opening her trembling lips, he placed the gag ball in her mouth, and connected the straps behind her head.

As for me, my free left hand has been spasming out of control. The Berserker within me told me to end his life, to use it on him. As much as I want to, it's too soon to do so. Putting my Super Shotgun away, I cracked both my knuckles and walked up behind him.

He hummed a little bit before speaking. "See? That wasn't so bad. Now then, for tonight, let me show you a little piece of heaven."

"Before you do that..." His form freezes up when he heard me talk. The woman opened her teary eyes back up, looking at me with wide eyes. "How about I show you the Highway to Hell."

Grabbing him by his shoulders, I threw him off into the wall on the right, crashing in it before falling on the ground. Walking up to him, he tried to get up, only for his empty skull to meet my armored knee, leaving no trace of his face. Except for that patch of blood.

Looking back at the mare, she stared up at me in fear. Walking up to her, she threw her arms up defensively, keeping her eyes shut. Moving my hands behind her head, I removed the gag ball from her.

Feeling it being removed, she snapped her eyes open and looked up to me. Realising that I wasn't here to do worse, she started getting up, as I step back to give her room. Looking down at the gag ball, I crushed it and threw the remains at the deceased Changeling.

Now, how the Hell am I gonna get her to safety? Is there even a safe place to begin with, anymore?

Soon, we heard a ruckus from behind me. Snapping into action, I pulled my Super Shotgun back out, and aimed it at the now opened window. Taking a step back, making sure that she was right behind me, we waited for whoever it was.

Then hands shot up and out through it. A hush tone of a male voice spoke out. "Hey, hey, hey! Ease up, I'm friendly!" Sticking his head out, I still had my gun aimed at him. "Please, let me help! I saw what you did to that Changeling, but more are coming this way!" As to prove his point, we heard their buzzing wings coming around.

Grabbing the woman, I helped her up as the other guy helped her inside. Once done, I grabbed out a Hologram Grenade, chose the behaviour the hologram will do: Decoy. Throwing it, I jumped up and through the window, landing inside and closing the window shut. With my Super Shotgun in hand, all three of us hidden underneath the window, waiting for them to pass by...

"There he is! After him!" We heard one of them shouted as they went buzzing after my holographic-self. Soon the buzzing died down.

Sighing, I got up and out from under the window, same as the other two.

"Well, that was close." The stallion spoke up.

"Thank you, for saving me." The mare gave her gratitude to me.

"You're welcome, and thanks for getting us out of there." I said to the two.

"Well, after witnessing what you did to that rapist, it's the least I can do. Come on, we'll head into the lounge." He said as he lead the way, and we followed.

"I heard an explosion of sorts when the sirens went off. That wouldn't happen to be you, would it?" He asked me.

"Yes. It was me." I answered him. "What's the situation? I've only just woken up. And no, don't ask that."

"Well, where to start?"

"The beginning." The mare answered him. "We need to tell him at the start."

"Yeah..." We entered in the Lounge room, which was I decent condition, considering no one ever goes out anymore. I think? "Have a seat folks, this might take some time."

"I'm fine. Plus I don't think your furniture can handle my armors weight." I stated to him, as the mare went and lied down on the couch. Not that I blame her.

"Alright then, but first, what happened to you?" He asked her.

"I was minding my own business, then he came out of nowhere and knocked me out. Dragging me out into that alleyway to have his fun..." She explained, shuddering at the thought from moments ago.

"Well, it's all over with..." The stallion said to comfort her.

"So, can you tell me how these damned bugs taken control of this entire place?" I asked him.

"Well, it all started almost a month ago..."

([Third Person])

This is all unexpected. They never thought outside forces were coming, or so they thought.

After taking the Crystal Empire, by poisoning the Crystal Heart, making it theirs, and capturing the Royals themselves. Everything else was easy picking for their Queen engaging Canterlot, where her traitorous and a failure of a sister had fled to.

When they had done their part, they moved onto enforced their occupation and such, making sure the citizens didn't try and start a rebellion; by publicly executing their Guardponies.

After hearing the word of their Queen laying siege unto Canterlot, they were ecstatic. They waited for the victory call from when she claims Canterlot and all of Equestria.

Unfortunately, the only thing they got from tonight was a being of unimaginable powers and weapons, storming on through town. Blasted its way on through their barrier and started murdering them on sight.

None could stand up against such a menacing threat, so to quell this, they called upon the Tanker.

Tankers stand as their strongest warrior breed yet. Taller than their Queen, they are used for defensive purposes mostly. But when send out onto the battle, they are something fierce to behold. Heavily armored by their natural chitin, making them even more bulkier, they can take on harsh punishments. But since they are bigger than their smaller brethren, they are a tad bit slower. They are not stronger then their Queen, per se. The Queens themselves can run circles around them, be able to do some more serious damage upon them, since they had more magical prowess. As such, they are better fitted for defending.

Now, as soon as this metallic beast came strolling in, word reached them. Telling them that their Queen and her forces have suffered severely, and the Campaign in Canterlot is a total failure. They spoke of the thing that is killing them off, who stood against their Queen and inflicted pain upon her and their armies.

If only this reached them sooner though, then maybe they would have stand a better chance.

The Tanker and his group were sweeping through the streets, looking for this damned thing. So far, whenever they engaged it, it'll open fire upon them; whether it be up close, or afar, it still gets you. Capture wasn't an option, it was a death sentence. Destroying it will have to do.

The Tanker caught a glimpse of it running on the rooftops, and took a shot at it, only to miss, and instead just blowing off the roof.

Making another turn through the empty streets, the Tanker kept at a modest pace, making sure to look over everything it could be hiding. So far nothing. Not even force entry in any of the buildings. About halfway through searching, the Changelings that were in front of him were blasted into oblivion, their body parts flying off into the distance, while some were burnt to a crisp. Surprised by this, he readied himself, summoning a shield for him and those behind him.

Some brave ones walked on over, only to realise how dead wrong that was to do. Hearing something whirling around, they were mowed down into bloodied pieces as a hail of bullets teared through the lot, soon it came towards the rest as he planted himself on the spot.

When it hit his shield, he soon found out how powerful it is, as he was pushed back slowly. The others tried to help him, but even that did little to stop them from being pushed back.

Just as it came though, it finally stopped. He looked on as to why, but it became clear. It... He was standing in front of them up ahead, a Chainsaw in his hands. The Tanker, along with what remained of his comrades, soon found themselves quivering. Why were they quivering? He was just one...whatever he's suppose to be! Scanning him over, he was a big one, bigger than any stallion he has seen. Looking closely, his eyes widen. He started to shuffle backwards, same did everyone else.

They feared him. They feared his building rage.

Hearing the revving of his Chainsaw, they saw him holding it up, and heard him spoke his piece, which placed even more fear within their hearts.

"Start counting up your sins..." With that, he came charging at them, dedicated on cutting them all up into pieces.

Every. Last. Changeling.

Author's Notes:

Here's the next chapter. I'll still be updating the first one. Seeing this many people wanting to read this was very surprising to me. I thought it wasn't gonna fly well with you all. Anyway, no, there won't be any crossovers with other Displaced, this will be focused on him and the other Doom Marines. For now anyway.

But if you want him to do any crossovers with any other Displaced, you can make suggestions, but they'll have to wait.

Thanks for reading.
