Troy pov three days ago

I sat in my office with Celestia and Luna sitting in the throne room holding court. I was read over papers for more ponies, diamond dogs, and a few dragons who wanted to join my army. I had to sign over five-hundred soldiers into my army giving me thirteen hundred soldiers but only seven hundred were battle-ready.

“My king I have a letter for you from the queen from the minotaur queen!”

One of my soldiers came running in a letter in hand. I took it from her and cut to open to find a letter from the queen of minatores.

“Were under attack send help!”

Troy present pov

I sat on a stone wall with my scarf covering my face as I looked over my army marching. I smiled as I watched them get the cannons into place for their first real battle. The Minotaur’s were a little hard to deal with when we marched back with them to aid in the battle. With my army, we have twenty-two thousand soldiers.

“My king!”

I looked down at Rudi the she-wolf I made a captain of the third rifle battalion ran in. I stood then walked down to her as she held out a letter for me. I opened it and saw it was a letter from the king. He was letting me know I was to stay at the back of the army. That his army was going to crush them today and I won’t be needed as I and my army would only be in the way. I laughed as I looked at it then put it in my pocket as I looked at her.

“He wants all the glory?”

I laughed as I looked at her then nodded my head. “Let his pride cost him it’s the only way he’ll learn his lesson. The yaks did the same and the next day they listened to me. Seeing a real battle will force them to see a real cost of pride.”

“Are you sure we should let them do that?”

I looked away from her then nodded as I looked at the flatlands. Hours passed as we sat on the only hill in the area. All the cannons were set up with exploding shells loaded. Then we saw it as the two armies marched towards each other. My army watched as the bulls charged the lines of spears. The effect as immediate as the pulled back and stabbed the bulls line cutting deep into the army front and second lines. Both lines broke down and the main body of the infantry was quickly being cut through. I smirked as I watched the soldiers start to try and regroup only for a huge unit of beasts to come running full speed from the deer lines.

“What about the defense of the nearby town?”

I looked at her then back to the only bridge to a town. I looked at her for a second then looked back at the cannons. “Realine the cannons to protect the town at all cost. Ready to move into a long-range battle in a moment's notice.”

“Yes, Sir.”

She ran off to get the orders out as I turned back to watch the fighting. It was bad for the bulls as they were being pushed back and were cut deep in the lines. I frowned as I saw a red flag being swung as the bulls started to run. I laughed as I stood up with my hands on my sun and moon swords.

“My king?”

“I’m going.” I jumped off to the armies then landed leaving beside the deer army. I took off running at full speed to the first beast. I pulled my right fist back then slammed into the jaw of the monster and sent it flying. It landed in the middle of the deer ranks stopping the army as the bulls ran away. I drew my swords the swung them sending ice blades across the field. It cut through a few deer who couldn’t get out of the way and a few of their beast. Walls of ice blocked them with me guarding the only enters. I pointed my right hand up pointing the tip of the moon sword at them. “Cross this point and you’ll get cut.” All of them seemed to have lost the confidence they had as they looked at me.

“The dark hunter.”

I looked up and saw a large deer with a huge set of horns looking down at me from the back of a large beast as it walked through the army. I rested my swords on my shoulder as I looked up at him. “Do I know you?” he rode up then dismounted the beast a land spear in hand.

“No, but you took the head of my older brother at the base of the yak mountain.”

I smirked as I looked at him and he looked back at me with a deep frown. He sighed as he threw a hand up circling his hand a few times.

“Move out, we didn’t plan on fighting a monster like this.”

The deer army started to move back as he commanded. As they walked away he looked back at me then walked up to me. We were face to face with one another both with weapons at the ready. “Want to start some?” I smiled as I stared at him then he sighed as he looked away from me.

“I’m trying to end something. My father is in a rage that my brother Norv was killed. Besides, I’m not going to fight you today.”

I smiled as I looked at him then held up three fingers as he looked at me. “Three days. Leave in three days or I will come for you and your army.”

“I will write to my father letting him know your words.”

He remounted his monster before riding off quickly behind his army. I sighed as I watched them go and I turned around and saw a few bulls still behind weapons in hand. “What are you standing around for!?” They jumped and a younger bull spoke.

“S-sorry, sir!”

I sheathed both my swords as I started to walk over to them. “Let's move out damn it!”

“Sir!”

The bulls quickly followed me as we walked to the bridge where the rest of their army was standing. As we walked up the king looked at me but didn’t say anything. I stopped in front of him and we looked at each other in the eyes. Nobles from his army crowded around us as I started to speak. “They’ll be gone or back in three days now if you listen to me you will win if it’s a full-scale battle but if you don’t all of your soldiers will die and your cows and young females will become their slaves.” I walked away leaving him red-faced but he knew I was right he saw his army lose badly in the first major battle. I jumped back onto the hill with my army and walked to my war tent. I walked in and saw my three commanders going over the maps. Rudi the she-wolf, Spike mac the bull with the brand of night raid on his chest and a new large dragon who joined us a little later than most of everyone else but I trusted him enough.

“My king.”

Rudi spoke once she spotted me and the others bowed as they looked at me. “At ease, I’ve bought us some time so let's make a real plan.”

“How long do we have?”

“Three days.”

“It's not a month but still better than nothing.”

We all laughed for a second then I heard yelling. We quickly ran out and found Chrysalis choking one of the pony guards with some of her guards behind her maybe forty or so. “Chrysalis stop!” She looked up at me as she dropped the stallion.

“Troy this bucker grabbed my flank!”

I looked down at the young stallion and saw him sweating as he looked up at me. “Get lost I’ll deal with you later.” He jumped up and took off deeper into the camp. Chrysalis looked mad as hell as she huffed before walked over to me. “Please try not to kill me, troops, I do need them and so do their families.” She huffed but walked to the war tent with me but I stopped as I looked back at her changelings. “There are some tents near the chew tent get a few and some cots for all of you.” They thanked me before walking off and we walked into the war tent. I waved the others out and they bowed before leaving the tent. Chrysalis sat down in the only chair while I explained what happened so far and she nodded as she looked at me. Once I had told her everything she offered a second plan.

“My changelings could change into deer troops and infiltrate the deer camps and gather information.”

“Is that way, he came here?”

“Yes and no, Celestia told me you came here with your army and since I signed all the paperwork I thought I may as well make good on our alliance so I came to help you.”

I laughed as I looked at her and folded up the map of the area before putting it away. “Come on, let got and get your changelings set up.” She nodded and she stood up then stopped as her ears were going from side to side.

‘MASTER!’

I grabbed Chrysalis and dropped to the ground with a ball of lighting in my hand as the top of the tent was ripped off and I looked up and saw Ember with a small army of dragons. I sighed as I looked up at her and let Chrysalis go before ember flew down to our side. On her side was a longsword in a suit of gold armor.

“Did I interrupt something?”

“No, but I was about to kill all of you speaking of.” I threw the lighting ball as hard as I could and once it was a good mile away it explodes taking trees out of the ground leaving a huge crater in the ground where the fight was going on a little while ago. The shock wave slammed into the camp and threw some of the troops back taking a few of the tents off the ground a few of the dragons in the air were even thrown to the ground. I laughed as the wave hit me full force. Ember and Chrysalis got behind me as I stood in the path of the wind. Once it was done they looked up at me with shock in their eyes as I smiled down at them. “Like I said I was going to kill.”

“I-i see.”

I laughed a little more then started to walk off to help clean up my mess. “If you too want to talk my tent was near the edge of the camp near the back of the hill. I’ll be there in a few hours, so feel free to get there and I got some booze if you want some.”

Third pov

“That was insane.”

“Ya.”

Ember and Chrysalis looked at one another then quickly rushed off to the tent Troy was trying in. They reached the tent and found a simple tent meant for a large group with nothing but a cot with a chest in front of the cot with a large magic glass chest beside it with murasame locked inside.

“What’s up with that?”

They walked over to Murasmae and picked up the magic glass chest looking at the sword.

“Why would he lock up a sword in a chest meant to hold magic artifacts? I don’t sense any magic coming from it.”

“Maybe it’s cursed?”

They looked at it for a minute until Budi walked up behind them and cleared her throat scarring both of them. They looked back as she held out a tray with two bowls of soup with breed on the side.

“Our king said I’d find you here so I brought you something to eat.”

“Well, I do thank you I have to ask what’s in the soup.”

“One's beef stew for the lions and diamond dogs and vegetable soup for the ponies an others. I brought one of each since I know dragons need meat as well.”

“Thank you.”

Ember and Chrysalis said in unison and Chrysalis set the glass chest down before walking over and took to the tray. Budi walked out and Ember walked over then took the beef stew. They sat down on the cot and noticed how uncomfortable it was to sit on.

“Is this really what he’s going to sleep on?”

“It’s a cot in a tent Chrysalis, not a five-star hotel. Granted we dragons sleep on the ground in groups.”

The two started to eat in silence each looking at one another then looked away not really sure what to talk about.

“So…”

Ember started as she looked at Chrysalis.

“How did you meet Troy?”

Chrysalis looked up at her and rubbed the back of her head as she chewed on the bread.

“Well, I was going to try and kill him to get my niece back.”

Ember nearly choked on the soup in her mouth then looked at her.

“You do know he killed a few full-grown dragons barehanded right?!”

Chrysalis nodded as she looked down at the soup.

“Yes, not the smartest thing I could have done at the time but I wasn’t thinking at the time.”

“I guess so, but you're still standing so did you win?”

Chrysalis laughed as she looked away at her. “No, I got beaten into the ground and he was going to kill me but my son came out and that seemed to stop him. Troy doesn’t seem to want to hurt me with my son looking. It stopped him and he got me medical treatment and has since been a great stallion helping us, being very kind to my hive helping us in many ways.”

Ember nodded as she looked at her then they looked at the glass chest again.

“So, think we can get that sword out?”

“No, that thing is a high-level magic chest we couldn’t overload it or smash it.”

The two spoke for an hour or so before Troy walked into the tent and saw the two laughing as they talked with backs to the tent flap. Troy smiled as he quietly walked up behind the two of them then grabbed both by the back of their armor. Both jumped and screamed and Ember threw her tail back and Chrysalis grabbed her new weapon a spiked mace then swung it back at his head. Troy let them go then jumped back making both of them miss.

“TROY!”

Chrysalis yelled as she jumped up then chased him out of the tent.

Troy pov

I ran out of my tent laughing Chrysalis chasing me with her spiked mace in hand. Everyone watched as we ran around a few of the lions looked like they wanted to help me but stopped when they saw the angry mare behind me.

“GET BACK HERE!”

I spun on my feet then grabbed her hand when she got close to me. I smiled as I looked at her shocked face and I twisted her wrist. She dropped the mace and I grabbed it and shoved her back. She slipped and fell back down on the ground. I smiled as spun the mace around my fingers as she looked up at me. “Want to try again for a bit.”

“Jerk!”

I laughed a little then held a hand out to her to help her back up. She took it and I pulled her back onto her hoofs then I handed her back her mace. “Sorry Chrys but I had too.” She huffed with a light green blush on her face. I rubbed the top of her head then we walked back to the tent and Ember was gone. I saw my sword chest leaned up against the chest at the foot of my cot. I walked over then sat down on the cot and Chrysalis sat down on the chest.

“So, why are you sleeping in an empty tent on a cot? You could have a bed, real food and why aren’t one of your mares with you?”

I huffed as I laid down on the cot laying my hands behind my head. “If cots, soup, and Bread are good enough for my troops then it’s good enough for me. As for the girls, Celestia and Luna have to keep the nobles in line and Daybreaker and Nightmare are pregnant so I wouldn’t let them come near this place." She looked at me shocked then laughed as she looked at me.

“I guess you wanted a big family.”

I laughed as I looked at the tent top. “Ya, but I do fear the day one of my little fillies bring a boy home.” She laughed into her hand as she looked at me.

“I think the day that comes true no force in Equestria will stop you from getting your hands on him when that day comes.”

I smirked as I laid on my cot. “Ya, but I’ve been thinking about something.” I leaned up on my elbows and looked at her.

“About what?”

She looked at me a hopeful look in her eyes. “About your son, I’ve been thinking of trying to be a father figure for him.” She looked a smile on her face as she looked at me.

“You're already doing that Troy. In fact he’s asking if he can come to see you or if he could practice with the short sword you gave me to give to him. That was the first thing ever given to him by someone who was an older male.”

I laughed as I sat up then crossed my legs as I looked at her, “He’s free to always come to see me and if he ever needs anything. All he or you have to do is ask and it will be done.” Chrysalis smiled as she looked at me, Then she blushed as she rubbed her arm armor.

“Well, do you think we can come to the castle once this is over with? And maybe you and I could get to know one another better?”

“Sure why not start now. You can ask me anything you’d like to know.” She looked at me for a second then her blush got brighter as she looked at me.

“Well, I do have one question but…”

“What?”

“Do you think I’m a pretty mare?”

‘Red flag!

‘Shadow this is a crimson warning!’ I cleared my throat as I looked to the side a little. “Well, I can’t lie so yes I know think you are a very pretty mare. But, that’s as far as I’m going to go with that at this moment.” She smiled and nodded her head as she sat on the chest as I was looking up at the now fixed tent.

“Do you have anything extra for my changeling’s?”

“Everything was with the tents, so they should be ok.”

She stood up and walked out of the tent, leaving me alone. About an hour after nightfall shadow spoke up in my mind.

‘Master a human is nearby and he doesn't seem to have an imperial arm. Something about him is different about his body master.’ I stood up and walked out of the tent wanting to see this human. I walked around the tent trying to find him and I got an idea of where he may be. I started to walk for the mess tent and sure enough, I found a human but I didn’t know him at all.

He has a notably muscular and well-defined body, messy dark brown hair that others compare to seaweed, and sharp, confident eyes. The only thing he was wearing was a pair of shorts. He looked at me as he chewed on some bread.

“You want something?”

He sounded as if I was below him and I balled my fist and he seemed to see it. He smiled as he finished the bread quickly then turned to face me. I was ahead taller and he had built about the same size. He put his hands up then started to jump as he looked at me. I smiled as I looked at him and I was planning to do the same to this guy I did to Bree. I started to slowly walk over to him and I knew he’d charge me the second I took a few steps. A few steps later he lunged his right fist a blur as he swung it. I smiled then lunged for him at full speed. I was face to face with him in less than a second, shocking him. I slammed a short uppercut into his gut and sent him into the air. I jumped up pulling my right leg back then I swung it at him than to my shock he grabbed my leg and turn using his grip and threw a kick at my face. I blocked the kick then slammed my left into his rib cage and he coughed up some blood. He tightened his grip on my leg as we landed back on the ground and he landed on top of me and we wrestled around on the ground. He was throwing punches and elbows trying to harm me damn near doing so. I punched him in the face and knocked him off then jumped back to my feet as my army started to come out with weapons. He jumped up then charged me and started throwing punches and kicks. I moved side to side showing him I won’t just let him hit me.

“Damn it!”

He threw a wide roundhouse kick and I grabbed his leg then kicked out his other leg and pulled his leg back. I grabbed his throat and lifted him over my head and slammed him when he went for a kick. His head slammed back into the ground making a massive crack form and he was out cold. My troops cheered as they looked on as let his throat and stood back up. I waved my hand a few times as I looked down at him. ‘Damn it this bastard was fast, maybe even faster than me at close range.’ I grabbed his arm then pulled him over my shoulder. “Everyone goes back to sleep just a pest in the food supply. “I’m going to go find a pit to throw him in.”

“SIR!”

Everyone walked back into the tents and I took him back to my tent and then covered him and myself in shadow. ‘Ohma Tokita and he now use the Niko Style of fighting. His memories showed me he was like me and was sent here after buying the shorts he was wearing now. He had the body of the anime fighter he looked like now. He also had his girlfriend with him and she was hiding waiting for him to get something to eat. She bought a wig for a character called Kure Karia. I unwrapped us and threw him to the ground after seeing and doing what I need to do. A few seconds later he woke and groaned as he rubbed the back of her head. “Hey Ohma you up?” He looked up at me and smiled as he looked at me.

“Ya, Troy Thanatos.”

I laughed then held my hand out and he took it. I pulled him up and we talked for a second. He told me he was stealing the food for him and his girlfriend. I’d learn all these but I need everyone to think he’s doing this on his own. Once he had repeated everything I had learned we left to get his girl. We walked about half a mile out from the war camp and climbed up to a cliff. We got into the cave and saw the girl sitting by a small fire. She was a beautiful young woman with a deceptively defined physique, a small frame and a moderately sizable bosom. She has long black hair, with several bangs that hang over her forehead and two long lengths of hair that drape either side of her face, a small dainty nose, full lips, and the black sclera and white irises.

Ohma grabbed her and I did the same again making them both think I’ve been gone like I did with Bree. Plus, making them think they were both members of the northern tribes. I made them think they were from a shape Claw tribe the weakest of the tribes is what I wanted them to think. Once it was done we went back to the camp. Once back I got them both a cot and a hot meal after I heated it back up for them. It was clear that they were tired of everything. I walked over out of my tent and walked out to the armory tent. I could hear hammering and walked in seeing Magma working away. “Hey Magma what are you doing here?” She looked up a smile on her face as she hammed a small shield.

“Queen Luna asking for volunteers to work a mobile forge. The school offered a full year's worth of classes. No one else wanted to come so I offered in I could work in your camps forge.”

I smiled then started to walked over to the swords she had made.

“What are you looking for?”

I looked back at her and saw two katanas like swords behind her in a pill. I walked over to them talking as I grabbed the swords. “Two humans from my old homeland somehow showed up. They are from a tribe that mainly fights with weapons, unlike mine where we rarely use them.” I unsheathed both blades and spun the swords.

I smiled as I sheathed back into the sheaths then pulled out my bit bag. “Here.” I was taking out some bits and she held her hand up.

“Were good, you got everything I asked for and I love the pool of lava. How did you even get it set up in a cave-like that?”

I smiled as I sent a silent thank you to Celestia. “You can thank Celestia for that. She used her magic to tap a natural lava vein under the mountain.” Magma smiled as she set her tools down and stood up and adjusted the metal bra.

“Say I got a question Troy.”

I looked at her as I dug through the pile looking for something cool to add to my collection. “Shoot.”

“What’s your last name mean?”

“God of death and destruction.” I stood not seeing something I liked in the pile. I looked at her and she looked at me and saw the shock on her face. I laughed as I looked down at her then patted her head her face turning a little red. “There's so meat leftover in the mess tent go help yourself I’m going to go thin the deer some.” I walked out of the tent then went back to the tent with Murasame on my side as I jumped out of the camp. I landed in the battlefield then grabbed a bow and arrow from a fallen deer.

I took several arrow quivers from others and I started to walk wanting to get in practice with a bow. I walked a good two hours before I came upon the camp and saw many of the soldiers were walking around with no weapons or armor but had female deers on leashes and callers making them walk on all four. I frowned as I pulled an arrow out then knocked the arrow. I jumped from tree to tree following them until we were out of view of the camp. I pulled back on the bowstring aiming for the center deer who was holding the female’s leash. I let go of the arrow and watched as it flew in the air and buried deep into the lower back of the deer. I quickly shot another arrow into the chest of the deer and burst out of the trees and murasame in hand charging the last two deer. I cut the bigger deer in half at the waste then stabbed the second deer through his chest and I kicked him back into a tree. Then for good measure I stabbed the deer with the arrows in him. Then I looked down at the doe. She was balled up shaking but I couldn’t tell if it was from the cold or the fear. She had long orange hair and was wearing a two-piece bikini.

I grabbed my cloak then covered in my heat energy. Then I sheathed Murasame and kneeled down to her and covered with the cloak. She was still shaking but it slowed as she turned looking at me. I gave her a gentle smile as I picked her as a bride and took off the bow hitting my leg as I ran. She grabbed ahold of my hand as I ran through the trees keeping the heat rolling on her. I jumped into the trees and took off at top speed heading for the cave I found the girl in. I sat her down inside and I gathered a ton of wood then started a fire for her. I kneeled down beside her and she smiled up at me.

“Thank you.”

I smiled and she handed me my cloak back as I looked down at her. “How many more doe's are in the camp?”

“Only a few, king Dannin was mad when a large number of us got away from the Yak mountain camp. Now only nobles and the prince can have us in camp.”

“And the three I killed?”

“Nobles who were going to rape me in the forest I’m newly caught. My father was kind and hid me for years but after he passed I was found.”

I nodded then left the bow and arrows with a long knife beside her. “You know how to use them?”

“Ya, Thanks…?”

“Troy.”

“Thank you Troy.”

I nodded then ran back out and headed straight for the camp again. I repeated this ten more times to get another doe out of the camp until guards started to look for me. When I saw the chance I would get behind them then snap their neck and kill them with brute force from a kick or punch. Soon I had a dozen doe’s and the last one got out wasn't a deer but a giraffe of all things. She had a normal neck but her body was huge as big as mine and as tall. I had given her both my shirt and cloak and I had to think she was the large I liked.

I carried her on my back as I ran and she cried into my back as I had ripped two large bucks off her as she was being raped. I jumped up to the cave then I sat with them as the fire cracked in the cave. While sitting I noticed all of them looked at me worried. I smiled as I reached around then pulled out a few bags and held them out to them. The giraffe took the bags then opened and tears came to her eyes as she pulled out a bag of bread of the bigger bag and fruit out of the other bags.

“Dig in I know you all must be hungry.” With that they dug in eating everything in the bags down to the bread crumbs. They looked at me again and I moved my hand around in my bag but the only thing I had left was my jerky bag. I frowned and sighed as I looked back at them. “Sorry, that was all on me we can go back to my war camp and get you all so warm food in a few hours.”

“But, won’t the command have a problem with that?”

I laughed as I looked at the first doe I saved. “I’m the commander so I say you are free to come. Besides, my army isn’t one race like most armies. I’ve got everything from Ponies to large yaks and lions in it. I promised you’ll be welcomed with open arms.” They all smiled and I made a stairway of ice so we could walk down and not climb down. I walked at the front a little tempted to grin at the group of hot furries behind me as I walked. After half an hour we walked into camp and I took them to a tent we had sent up but no one was in them. I walked them in and The first doe and the giraffe followed me and grabbed some cots for them all. It took a few trips to get enough and I had them lay down. “I’ll be right outside if you need anything.” They thanked me and I sat down right out front of the tent with Murasame in my arms as I waited up hoping this would help them sleep earlier but I heard them talking but I ignored them.

Female group third person pov

All of the does and the solo giraffe talked away on their cots happy not to be sleeping on the ground.

“I didn’t know a male could be this nice did you know Fawn?”

Fawn moved her bright orange out of her face as she looked at Dyani the giraffe.

“Very few but they were bucks I’m not too sure what he is but he is much nicer. I for one think we stay with him as long as we can, he must have killed over a hundred bucks!”

They all nodded and Dyani spoke up.

“But, the question is how do we do that? This area is going to turn into a battlefield sooner or later.”

They all looked between one another then Fawn spoke up again.

“Why not ask if he has worked for us? This is an army camp something always needs to be done.”

The night was spent talking until they finally decided to just ask in the morning. They all closed their eyes and fell asleep.
