We woke up the next morning to banging on the front door. I got out of bed then slipped some jeans on then walked up to the front door. I had a fist of lighting ready for anything as I opened the door. Queen Chrysalis was standing there with her son in her arms asleep.

"Can I talk to you?"

"Sure, I'll make some coffee, and you can put the little guy in the chair."

"I'm here too."

I looked behind her and saw Tempest behind her. "Three cups then." I let them in and started to make the coffee. Snowball and Tracy walked into the kitchen. Both of the mares jumped when they saw our pets, but I rubbed them on the head or down the back as Tracy liked. When I had the coffee made, I walked over to the table setting the cups down then took a seat. Snowball laid down to my right, and Tracy sat on my left. She was looking at the mares showing fangs every time one of then reached my way. I ran a hand down her back and then started to scratch her head, making her purr. "Good girl." Tracy rubbed her head into my side as I started to drink my coffee. “I know why your here Tempest and you’ll find Celestia down the hall fourth door on the right. Tell her what happened and why your here.” She nodded then left the cup on the table as she walked away. I looked at Chrysalis as she quietly sipped the coffee trying not to make eye contact with Tracy. “What what can I do for you?” She looked at me then set the cup down as she looked at me.

“Well, you see my sister, my little niece’s mother was going to help us make a new hive. Our old hive is dying out in the wasteland. She was going to help us but with her gone, we don’t have anywhere to go.”

I looked up from the cup then meet her eyes. “So you tried to take my daughter and put her into an unsafe and unsure future?” She looked away squirming in her set as she at the wall.

“I know what I did was wrong but….”

“But nothing.” She looked at me scared as she looked at me. “You could have gotten her hurt or killed.” She looked away again trying to shrink under my gaze. I nodded then set the cup down as I looked at her. “I do however understand why you did this.” She smiled As tracy popped up as then walked into the living room. A boy screamed and we dropped the cups and we ran into the living room as the started to laugh. Tracy was licking the boy’s face making him laugh as she pinned her with paw as she licked him. We sighed then Tempest walked out with a restored horn as Celestia walked out with Flare in her arms. Flare was asleep in her holding onto her t-shirt as she slept. I walked over to them gave Celestia a quick kiss on the lips and she smiled as she let me take Flare. I walked over to my chair and Celestia followed me over sitting on the arm of my chair as the changeling queen sat across from us as her son played with Tracy.

“Changeling and manticore locked in combat.”

As he talked he Tracy pawed at him then dropped down on the small boy’s legs. He laughed as he petted Tracy’s head. Tempest sat down beside Chrysalis both of them looking at Celestia and me as all the girls started to get up carrying our kids as they started the day. Sweetie was the last to walked out being helped by Shy. “Are you ok Sweetie?” She smiled as she looked at me as Snowball walked up beside her.

“Just a little wussy is all.”

Shy frowned as she spoke up for her.

“She’s still bleeding, I think she needs to go back to the doctor.”

I looked at Sweetie as she looked at me a frown on her face as she cradled the small baby girl. I sighed then looked over at Luna as she held the boys in her magic with Ameerach in her arms. “Luna, please send a letter for a home visit to one of the doctors at the hospital.”

“Ok.”

As she sent to set Ameerach as Sweetie slowly walked over to the smaller couch Snowball following her acting as a helper and defender as he sat in front of her. Luna called for a guard and one jumped out of the shadow. From the side of the wall taking the letters then running out of the door. The human girl looked at her as she ran and I smiled as I looked at the surprised look on her face. She looked at me then I nodded my then as I looked at her.

“Hey Troy can I talk to you?”

I looked over at Diamond as she held Golden Fist in her arms. I nodded then stood up giving Flare back to Celestia as we walked down the hall to her room. She closed the door and locked it then walked over to the crib and laid the sleeping boy down as I sat down on the couch. She smiled as she covered him up then walked over and sat down on my lap. She sighed as she leaned back into my chest then grabbed a few sheets of paper from the nightstand. I took them started to read the papers and stopped when I saw her mother was trying to marry her off to one of the new noble families in the town. I left my eye as I looked at the paper as Diamond turned then rested the side of her As I read a paper that made me see read. This bitch is trying to give up our son for adoption. I crumbled the papers in my fist as Diamond spoke you.

"You won't let her take our son right?”

She looked up at tears starting to fall from her eyes. I hugged her as dark shades covered my and she saw it as she looked up at me.

“T-troy?”

“She’s going to know the wrath of death.” She looked at me fear in her eyes and as my vision turned red. I took a deep breath letting my anger dying down as my vision turned back to normal. “Sorry, my anger isn’t something I like to show.”

“I see why, I’m glad your not like that often. But, don’t kill my mother please.”

I laughed as I hugged her and she laughed a little as she reached up to my face. She rubbed the small beard I had growing then laughed.

“I kind of like the beard you know.”

I laughed then grabbed her hand as she ran it down my chin. I smiled then ran a hand down her ram then cupped her cheeks. She blushed as she got up on her knees then wrapped her arms around my neck then pressed her lips into mine. I grabbed her hips and she pushed her tongue passed my lips and we started to tongue fight. As we made out Golden Fist woke up crying. We broke our kiss and we looked at him.

“Really son now?”

I smirked as I rubbed her thigh as I looked at our son. “Feed him Diamond, besides I have to get going, and deal with your mother.” Diamond puffed her cheeks out as she looked at me then got off me. I got up and walked over to then unlocked the door. I opened it then grabbed Sweetie and Scootaloo fell in cups in hands. “Girls.” I spoke in an exhausted tone and they looked sheepish as I held them. I sighed as I helped Scootaloo back up then I picked up Sweetie. “Scootaloo please watch Midnight, and Sweetie you're going back to bed until the doctor gets here.” Sweetie blushed as I carried her back to her room and I laid her down in the bed.

“Thank you.”

I smiled then left the room and the house Snowball at my side. I walked door the road barefoot my long black hair covered my eyes as I walked. Ponies waved to me a few even petted Snowball who would love to have them pet him let everyone who wanted to be petted him but was never far from me. But, soon enough we were at rich manner and I saw a large number of guards through the gate. I cracked my knuckles then punched the gate and sent them fly onto the ground. All the guards looked at me as I walked onto the grounds.the guards all looking at me. They all drew swords ready to attack me. I counted six at most as I watched one run into the house. “Come on.” I drew Murasame as they charged me. The remaining five charged me,

Two of them got in close then I slashed them over the chest killing them. I dodged another one then cut him across the back sidestepped a thrust I cut him across the back then cut the side of the last stallion open.

With them dead I sheathed murasame then walked up to the door. The last guard threw the door open then tried to stab me with a dagger. I grabbed his arm then slammed him face first into the ground smashing through the wood in the I grabbed his clothes then threw him into the yard. I walked into the house as maids and butlers shook in corners as I walked through the house.

“HELP!”

I turned my head to a large door then kicked the door in and found Filthy tied up in an office chair. He looked like he’d been beaten to an inch of his life. I ran over and burned the ropes off the chair and helped him stand up.

“AH!”

He grabbed his ribs and I sat him back down.

“You have to stop my wife, she’s in the meeting room with a high noble family. She’s trying to sell Diamond to get higher in the work. It’s five rooms down on the right.”

I nodded then ran out of the room down the hall and smashed through the door and found spoiled smirking behind twenty guards standing with a well dressed stallion.

“I see you saved us the trouble of coming to kill you.”

I cracked my knuckles as I looked at the mare. I slammed the door froze it shut and froze the walls and windows making sure they couldn’t get out. I smiled as they all looked at me as I cracked the rest of my body. “If you think you’ve got me, you may not want to face me.” I jumped at the first Minotaur grabbing his horn then threw my knee up and slammed his face to my knee. His skull caved in killing him as he fell to the side dead. I watched her smirk drop as she looked at me. “Time to die, hope you made peace with your life.” I covered both my hands in spiked knuckles as I punched the closest stallion putting three holes in his head and I started to tear through them. I slammed one into the wall making his throw up blood and I kicked another one in the face breaking his neck from the kick. I grabbed two then shocked them to death I made swords from ice then swung it cutting eight of them in half at the waist. I looked at then last eight then slammed my hand on the ground then sent spikes of ice stabbing all of them killing them from the impelmet and cold. With the last of them dead I looked back at the two Spoiled ponies and I saw the stallion was out cold and Spoiled was on the ground it was clear she had pissed herself. I took one step twords her and she jumped up and ran over to one of the frozen windows then started to hit it trying to get away. I slowly started to walk up behind her. “I covered those in five inches of ice your not getting away.”

“HELP ME HE’S GOING TO KILL ME!”

I grabbed her arm then pulled her back and started to drag her over to the door. I sent a blast of fire to the wall melting the ice. She grabbed my arm and was kicking me trying everything to make me let go. I got back to the office then slammed her arm into the arm into the wall in the room then froze her whole arm to the wall. I made it three inches think making sure she was going nowhere. “I’ll be back for your and don’t worry your would be harmed to badly maybe some slight loss of feeling or frostbite at most.

“Yo…!”

She was about to yell but I slapped her hard making some blood come from her mouth as she went limp after passing out cold. I melted the ice letting her body fall over I sighed then grabbed her dress and threw her over my shoulder. Like Shy and Cloudy she had a nice rack and they were pressing into my back. ‘If she wasn’t Diamonds mom or done this shit I’d would have tapped this ass. Filthy tried to get up but I helped him up with my free arm.

“Thank but what do we do with her?”

He looked at his soon to be dead wife if I had my way. “Kill her if I have my way but Diamond doesn’t want me to kill her.” he looked at her then smiled as he looked at me.

“Haha, true but I’m going divorcing her after this.”

“I’m sure.” We walked over to the door and found the guards with nightmare at the front. She ran up to medic guards behind her. They helped Filthy to the side and started to give him medical help. I threw the mare onto the ground and Nightmare looked at her. I quickly explained what had happened and the guards cuffed her as she started to come back around. They dragged her away as Filthy was put on a stretcher and was taken off as Nightmare and I walked off leaving some guards to protect the house.

“So, want to get some food?”

She pointed her battle-ax at a restaurant with a hey burger with a large p on the roof. “Why not.” we walked over to the restaurant and walked in. Ponies looked at us as we walked in and over to the counter.

“C-can I help you?”

We looked down at the small teen mare as she was sweating bullets. I smiled then ordered to orders of the fruit salads with two large sweet tea’s with two cherry pies.”

“S-sure. That will be seven bits.”

I took out a gold ten bit then put down on the counter. She gave me back three copper one bits and put them in my bag. We walked over to a table in the corner and we look a seat. Nightmare took off her helmet and untied her ponytail then ruffed her wings.

“I’ve not used to being in my armor anymore. By the moon I never noticed how stiff it makes my wings.”

I laughed as the mare brought us our tea. “Thanks.”

“Thank you.”

She nodded then walked away quickly and I noticed all the ponies in the were look passed us. I looked out the window and saw Snowball looked at us wagging his tail like the puppy he was. I set my tea down then walked back up to the counter and asked for a bucket of water. I let a ten bit on the counter as I walked out with an old wooden bucket with ice cold water. I set it down in front of him so he had a drink. I started to rub his head as a few of the foals who were eating inside came out of the door and looked at him.

“Can we play with him?”

I looked down at a filly with a red mane in a blue sun dress. I smiled as I waved her over to me. She slowly walked over to my and I took her hand. Snowball looked up at us and the little filly froze as I put her hand on his nose. He sniffed her hand a few times before he licked it and took a step towards her. She smiled as she reached up to rub his head making his tail wag. The other foals quickly came over to us then started to pet and play with him. Snowball laid down letting some of the younger colts and fillies climb into his back. I smiled and rubbed his head as the small red maned filly sat with his head in her lap. I smiled as I stood up then gave him a command. “Snowball no one hurts this foal.” He lit out a little howl making them laugh. I walked back in and found parents at window making sure their kids were ok. Many looked over at me as I walked back in. “I promise Snowball won’t hurt them. He’s around our new born foals all the time.” This calmed many of them down but a few were still worried but they sat back down. Nightmare laughed into her hand as she leaned on the table as the mare brought use our lunch. As we ate I watched Snowball playing with the small foals.

“So, when are we going after the deer kingdom?”

I looked at Nightmare and saw her smile on her face. “We’re not, unless they attack us first. If they do attack we’ll be in a better strategic position. If thy are the aggressors they can’t call on allies for help we can string or cut trade forcing them to bend or even break them.”

“I see, if they attack they loss and if allies try to join in we can smash them in more ways.”

“Yep, but should we really be talking about this here?” She laughed as she ate a cherry.

“No, but I know you’ve been thinking about this. That’s one reason you adopted rifles and that other weapon you’ve drawn up.” I looked at her and laughed as I pulled my phone out. I showed her a photo of a first generation gatling gun from the american civil war.

“What is this beast?”

She took the photo and I smiled as I looked at her. “ A gatling gun.”

“A gatling gun?”

I smiled as I took the phone away then I put a finger to my mouth then nodded my head to the door as we had finished eating. We left and Snowball shook as the foals a little then walked up behind us. I tapped her hand twice and she nodded and a sound proof bubble covered us then vanished. “Ok, a gatling gun is a defence and offence weapon made to do the work of a large group of rifles. The problem is I need a skilled blacksmith to make it.”

“I see, well what about the bat pony smiths. A thousand years ago they were the best smith next to the Minotaur iron smiths.”

I nodded my head as we walked down the road. “I see but, we need them to defend the northern border. Do you think we could get them to come to the new castle to work on them?” Nightmare laughed as she grabbed my hand then leaned her head on my shoulder.

“Ya, I’ve heard from some of the guards the bat ponies have a high opinion of you. I’m sure they would come to help.”

I smiled as we walked up to the house then dropped the bubble and we walked in. The small boy was asleep again in Tracy paws as Tempest and Chrysalis petted her. The girls were playing with the kids as we walked in. Diamond looked at me and I smiled as I nodded my head. She smiled then mouthed thank you to me. I nodded then I tapped Luna and Celestia on the shoulder then nodded to the master room Ameerah in Luna arms reached out to me. I took her as they nodded then followed me in the room then locked the door and used the same silence spell.

“What’s up?”

I looked at Luna then pulled out the gatling gun blueprints then held them out. They took the blueprints and looked them over as I put Murasame away.

“What kind of gun is this?”

I explained what a gatling gun was and they nodded.

“I’ll call up the night guard smiths to build one. If they start now it can be done in a month at the soonest.”

I nodded then laid down on the bed Ameerah sat on my stomach clapping her hands.

“Mommies, Daddy!”

I laughed as she fell off my stomach and bounced on the bed and laughed as she crawled over to my face. She started to pull and play with my hair making Luna and Celestia aww.

“So, what about Blueblood?”

I grabbed Ameerah and leaned up looking at Celestia as she cradled Flare. “If I deal with him I’ll kill him so it’s up to you two.” They looked at one another then Luna smiled as she looked at Celestia.

“Griffon prison?”

Celestia smiled as she looked at her.

“Yes, after we have a few words with him.”

I looked at them for a second as I held Ameerah in my arms.

“Daddy, up!”

I smiled down at her then lifted above my head waving her around making her laugh. “Does my little princess like to fly?”

“Haha!”

I smiled as I threw her up a few times making her laugh some. I caught her then hugged her and she wrapped her arms around my neck. I smiled then I felt the house shack around us. I jumped up and quickly handed Ameerah over to Luna then ran up to the living room. Nightmare had a shield around the house and I saw flames being thrown around outside. I ran out to see Daybreaker fighting two dragons. Five more stood off to the side and I saw Spike standing with them his arms crossed a wide smile on his face. I frown as one of the dragons fighting with Daybreaker saw me. I snarled then jumped at the dragon. I covered my right in ice then swung it slammed it full force into his or her law. The jaw bone snapped on contact with the jaw and head flew back blood coming from the mouth, nose and eyes. The body of the beast rolled away from impact force. It stopped about a good fifty feet away giving only a few breaths before dying a few seconds later. I landed and noticed everything was quiet around me. I looked back at the other dragon who was looked at me as Daybreaker stood looking at me her jaw wide open. I pointed to the next dragon. “Your next.” That snapped them out of it then they all charged me ignoring Daybreaker. I jumped again then covered my leg in lighting.

“Crush him!”

“Lighting cracker kick!”

I kicked the fist about to punch me and a blast of lighting shot a bolt of lighting through the female dragon given the voice. She roared as she fell to the ground holding her now useless arm. I ran at the next dragon as Daybreaker sent a blast of magic at Spike. It knocked him out cold as I worked on the real danger. I grabbed another dragon my the horns then I slammed my feet right into the middle of the forehead ripping out the horns. The dragon fell to the ground out cold or died from shock I wasn’t sure but didn’t care. I looked at the rest of the dragon how quickly realizing who the real winner of this was ran away scared of the monster in front of them. I looked at the still living dragon as she was bleeding to death. I walked over to her and she looked at me as I got closer. When I was close enough she tried to eat me. I grabbed her jaw as she tried this last ditch attempt. “Hm, you dragons have guts I like it. Die with your family's honor intact.” I sent a massive charge as lighting through her jaw straight into her brain. She thrashed around for a moment then stopped as her breathing stopped. I let her jaw go then stood up cracking my body.

“Buck.”

I looked back over and saw both the solar and night guard. A hundred if I had to guess by looking at them. I started to walk over to them blood dripping from my ice covered fist as I walked. The new captain of the solar guard back off and Blade sighed as he slung his new rifle over his shoulder.

“I see you went wild again.”

I smiled as I burnt the blood and ice off my arm. “Not really, I’ve killed monster a whole lot bigger than them. He looked surprised but the solar captain screamed.

“Something bigger then a full grown dragon!?”

I grabbed his face shutting him up. “Yell again and your flying understand?” I lifted off the ground as he did his best to say yes.

“What should we do with the bodies?”

Daybreaker walked up beside her as I thought.

“You know the scales, horns and claws can be turned into great weapons.”

I looked at her and Blade nodded as he listened to her talk. “Think we could use then for a new type of gun?”

“It was heated and shaped right.”

I nodded then looked at Blade then nodded my head.

“You got it boss.”

The night guard started to get to work and looked at the solar guard. “Form up and make sure the other dragons are gone.” They saluted me as they stood at attention.

“Sir!”

I nodded as the soon broke up into teams and I walked back to the house Daybreaker close behind me. ‘Ok, lets see how this plays out.’
