I stood up from my task finally finishing the writing I call pigeon and then I turn to her giving her the letter.

“Sir is it all here?”

I nod

“Pigeon there is something I want you to do for me. Do you remember the one in the book that Beezen showed us after the trial when you know what happened to Ruby? About a minotaur who did the deed of breaking the little bug?”

Pigeon nods

“Yes the NCR has been searching for him ever since they learned about him why?”

I go to my cane pull it out and put on my hat and suit looking at Pigeon her eyes full of fear as she backs up. I click my fingers keeping her inside I walk over to her and just stare into her eyes smiling.

“Don’t worry I am not here for you. I wrote in that the NCR is not welcomed here. I want to make sure they get the message so you know what I am going to be doing don’t you?”

Pigeon sighs.

“May I ask you something before you break my commander. Why did you do it to Ruby?”

I frown looking away.

“I didn’t want to but the stars called for it. This time the stars aren’t calling for anything I am doing this for my damned soul. When the stars learn of what I am going to do I will be placed in the prison of darkness among the stars till I am needed again to break another or to make them understand who is in charge.”

Pigeon looks at the letter reading it She read it out loud.

“Dear leaders and those within the power of the NCR the commander you brought with us here to Widowmaker desert is not fit to lead. He wants to force the views of power-hungry warmongers and those who gave us problems in so many areas. I recommend this area is closed off to savage for now. Wait a couple of years till their minds have calmed then come with a cooler head and smarter brain. The commander is too stressed and he can’t handle this desert. I even watched him steal from the camels and you don’t know them like do. Thank you”

She places the letter back into the folder.

“You have been watching us this entire time haven’t you pretending to be a ghoul minotaur or over the years did you just gain this position because the stars told you to?”

I shook my head.

“I did this on my own. I had a feeling the NCR and just a feeling the NCR would be called here. Already having NCR roots and a name from days past. I used that to get this position and when I learned we would be going for a trail I made sure I went so I could stop another war.”

Pigeon sighs stroking her head.

“You aren’t wrong if we don’t send the right leaders we always tend to end up in a war. What are you going to do now?’

Beezen comes into the room removing his hood she stares at the judge of the stars.

“He has no task but to do what he feels he needs to. I am also warning those I like and I am asking to stay to help this broken land stay. Those in the NCR who steal and so forth will be forced to go. You understand this correct?

I look outside seeing Hawk coming and noticing Diamond Cutter. They stand by the gate. Diamond Cutter is heavily armed and she has a group of camels coming up with her.

“It seems Diamond Cutter did what she threatened if the NCR didn’t leave.”

Pigeon stars outside.

“Wait why is one of the heroes going to join in this?”

I shrug my shoulders.

“I wouldn’t call Hawk a hero she is what you call a former murder who would set bombs to try to force an end to the war. She is doing what she feels she has to get rid of the NCR by any means she can. When they see you take the letter to the NCR speaker and they send it off. They will attack when you’re done go to the Explores Leauge building with those who will join you and ask for Asylum I would do it now Hawk is not known for waiting.”

The Upholi salutes me real fast and flies off.

“So Beezen why are you here?”

Beezen smirks forming his magic paint his magic.

“Oh just causing a little uprising.”

I look behind him seeing various objects like old guns tables NCR outfits cheering. I keep forgetting he has that damn magic paint. I hold my cane heading out and it’s done.

I walk through the battle not caring about it around me. I see Diamond Cutter protect any little ones she is near and Hawk storming through the streets firing her guns. The crazy insane camels doing what they can to fight the NCR.

I just have one task heading to the small house the Commander is held up in. I noticed he has no guards and that is strange maybe they don’t care for him I head in and kick the door down. I see him waiting for me He fires at me backing up and he just misses.

“Who are you?!”

I smirk

“Why I am the Insqistor and I shall curse your damned soul.”

I lift my cane and wack down into his face.

"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."

Marcus Cole, Ranger to Franklin, A Late Delivery from Avalon

When judgment comes is it fair? Maybe the universe has a story for us all. Those that wish to see it will die. I have known for years that my time is coming to finally break a hero. The hero would face the universe and the stars. They would fail because the universe saids it. I am the bringer of their judgment

“Do you know why you’re here?!” I look back on what I said to her. I look back at what I did to her. I broke her. I broke the hero. I gave her to Wheel Tread. I did what I thought was right. I look back on it now. I should have saved her from that fate. But I am now gone to the land between lands. To the universe that wishes the past to end. I am here. The words that need to be said.

“Who are you what do you want?” Say those words to many that try to understand. Maybe it’s a way to know. Maybe the universe will give her a chance. But my time has come. I go with the future I go with the past. I become nothing I began as nothing. The war ended my life. The stars brought me here. The stars I leave.

{Ruby’s Judgment} The morning

The ship my cage is on docks. I am carried into the Project Rainfall proper. While I am carried I see many ponies and other creatures working on the machine. The pieces of the Storm King that they could find. All the pieces are connected to a frame of a cybernetic body. I am taken through the entire machine it’s a lot larger than I thought it was. I was able to see the rainmaker below. It’s pretty full of water from the sea but they don’t know how to make it rain yet.

All the judges are in this machine. The Flores or whatever they called themself. Are giant evil-looking, creatures. They turn to me laughing while their roots are in beautiful soil. But while they eat the good soil the plants within it die.

Crunch the Rock dog kept to himself and he looks up to me growling softly. He hated heroes and everything good. I look over to Catrina and her friend Rep. I only saw some of them as one of them used their magic to help Lavan reform faster. In a large room that I have been into before thanks to the vision I had of Luna. I was set down in front of the console that held the staff. Clicking on the machine's computer Wheel Tread. He was setting something up. I noticed from the map of the machine there is a place up top for machines to land on.

Finally, I noticed that I was here and when I was set down he turned to look at me smirking. I knew this was my time and I had no choice. But I also saw his sadness about how I was treated. But he kept me how I was for the moment. The armor is set down beside him. He grabs the knife with his magic looking at the glowing gem.

“Hmm, you have filled this. It’s just enough to start my plan. Just we need a few more things to be ready. Your friends and enclave. Then I shall force DJ Mixer to record it all and send it across the rest of the world. But of course, we have to force this land to bow first. It won’t be hard after the hope you gave them.”

He removes the gem from the knife. He put the knife back on my armor. I just felt emotionless I helped this monster gain what he wanted. He placed the gem inside the machine near the other gem. The power fills the machine on the computer it said booting up. The machine had been used for years to bring water twice a year. Now whatever he is going to do with this creation will be bad at least how I see it in my mind.

“What is your plan?”

I knew I couldn’t stop him even if I tried I close my eyes sighing knowing I am now a pawn for the judgment he is going to force on me.

“My plan is pretty simple. Close off this land to the entire world. Remove the love of heroes over the years. Train the creatures of this land. To train them to be my army. But first, we have to destroy their want for heroes. We have to let them accept that villains are here to stay. The way to do so watch their heroes. Fall.”

“You plan to bring it back. The Storm King. Force him and the others to bring this land to heel. Then remove them because to you they will just be legends and myths?”

He turns his chair to look right at me. I could see the anger in his eyes but the gentle smile forming across his face. He was trying not to be upset with me.

“Yes like I told you back in my city. Heroes and villains after all this will become legends and myths. I will create an army of just races willing to fight Grogar. The judges will not be strong enough to fight him. The Storm King himself will not even be strong enough. We need a connected world to fight him.”

So he knows the truth. He knows he can’t trust these judges. He knows full well that he can’t even trust the Storm King. I have a feeling that he is not the real boss in all this. He would have to have help if he thinks the stars would allow him to get away with it.

The machine fully turns on and an old recording is playing. Of a mare, I have never heard of. I look to the side near Wheel Tread a set of bones in a chair with a gunshot wound in her head.

“I’m trapped on this machine. There is no way off or on. The codes have been lost to open the door. I.”

She sighed looking towards the door that is locked shut.

“I wish I could have done more with my life. I wish I could have learned how to use this thing. I was told it would be automatic and I would be relieved in a year or so. But it’s been years ten years and all my food is gone.”

The screen goes blank and the mare comes back and she is crazy and very skinny and sick.

“Sneeze sneeze see rain that shall make us sick. Endless sneaking in the ending of the night.” The mare lifted a gun to her head and when she fired the recording ended.

“Ah, so it seems living here drew one mad. Now let’s get the show ready shall we?”

I had no idea what he meant by let’s get this show ready. My want to even fight him is not even there any longer. While I watch him he is connecting the machine to the radio towers. I think I am fully starting to understand why those towers were created. To help move this machine.

“Dj Mixer won’t allow me inside the station. I will allow her to keep it for now of course. Let’s see Peace Rock is not on this map. Hmm, I doubt I will ever find that place. I won’t stop looking but someday I will have to.”

He is also searching for Peace Rock? I am happy that they have been removed from every map. Maybe it was never meant to even be known about. It turned from a place for peace to now home to survive. Over the PA system, a voice spoke out.

“Master there are many Enclave creations in the sky coming towards us. There is even an army of Steel Rangers. Silver Gunners group has been kept out thanks to the troops. But we need to hurry or they will break through.”

Wheel Tread chuckles.

“Ah, everything is set up as I want it. Now to get the king to return.”

He turns to a chest beside him and opens up a chest. Out of the chest comes a shadowy spirit. I heard stories of this spirit. I remember reading the story of the hero Tiria. She saved her friend Fleur and this thing left her and escaped somewhere. But that is not all he brings out. He brings out the cracked howling dance orb.

“Hmm this still will work I am sure. My plans had been set in motion so long ago. To think if Tiria didn’t save my life. I would have died back then but of course. You have to do much to make sure those that think you’re dead. Heh heh, so many think I am still dead.”

One of the Storm Kings minions takes the howling dance. They connect it to the heart of the Storm King's creation.

“Everything is ready for you to do your task.”

I turn my head even if it’s harder with the chain around my neck. I see the cybernetic body with strange crystals and the fact his brain was placed inside. I am guessing the shadowy thing is his spirit. Wheel Tread turns on the machine and I am now lifted in the cage to the outside.

______________

The RainFall Projet outside.

It didn’t take too long to get to the roof of the machine. I am on the creation that brought me here. Its been two months? I have been in this land for two months? All I wanted to do was see Star Shooter. I just wanted to be away from the island I caused all those deaths. I didn’t want to be like this maybe I can beg to go back to the island.

I look around seeing Enclave ships flying into the air towards us looking down I see Steel Rangers huh it’s weird I don’t know why they’re here. Maybe that strange radio broadcast I heard is they’re coming? Now it’s time for him to do what he wanted he held one of Yanari’s Drones. He turned it on and let it float out of his hooves.

“Miss MIxer are you there?”

The drone didn’t have any words coming from it yet. But I am sure it took a while for Yanari to connect herself to this one. The machine had static coming from it and after a while, it had feedback coming from it as well.

“I am here. Why have you stolen one of my drones?”

“I don’t have time to answer your questions. Do what I say please let me speak to the ponies of this land. Then send it to the rest of the world since I am sure you’re connected to the other DJs.”

Wheel Tread nodded to one of his followers and they turned on the radio when the music stopped it took a second for Yanari’s voice to take over. I knew that soon everyone will learn what I did and then learn what I helped bring to this land.

“Greetings everypony I am Wheel Tread most would know this name of the Wheel Tread family. The Wheel tread family helped so many through the years after the war even before the war. To tell you the truth I am not that pony.”

He laughs softly changing to his true body. I stared at him I have no idea who was. He looks so old how in the world is he staying alive. I change my eyes to the magic and then I notice how it’s that tech wheelchair

“Two hundred years ago I was a respectful unicorn the head of a powerful group of ponies who helped run every school in Equestria. I am Neighsay former head of EEA. Twilight failed to listen to me about her school of friendship. I may have gotten over the fact I hated non-ponies but I warned her that keeping zebras out may have helped cause the war. Most will never know since she is long dead.”

Neighsay laughs

“But enough of my gloating. Mixer Ruby is here with me caged for the crimes she has caused.”

Yanari was silent for a while.

“What do you mean crimes she caused and what do you mean caged?”

The drone turned to look at me and I can hear a soft gasp from Yanari. I look at the eyes the drone I look closely into the eye of the drone. ‘Yanari I am sorry please forgive me.’ I knew she saw that and I heard a soft sob and she regained herself.

“She joined me and she is the reason for all the deaths. She is what caused the fires in Narik. She is also the reason the war started in Kludgetown. It’s because we allowed heroes to get away with everything. I have the story of Littlepip in my magic.”

He lifted the book along with other stories.

“The heroes always write in their words. They don’t leave the truth. Littlepip never cared about us. She cared too much about what Celestia did. Back in the day, I was raciest to other species. But I learned the truth. The evil ones are the princess and the heroes that follow them. Their stories don’t tell the other side. The true heroes. The villains the goddess would have brought peace.”

I didn’t like what was being said. It’s hurting my heart deep inside since. I failed and allowed all this to happen. The hope I brought has caused so many to get hurt and so many to die. I wish I could just have stayed on the island.

“To all those that listen to my words. Destroy everything of the heroes. Remove them from power for it’s not just the heroes of today that have caused the problems. It’s also the former element of harmony. Twilight had it right to spread friendship and then destroy the heroes. Twilight and her friends brought this war. Luna Celestia and now the heroes of today.”

He went silent for a moment and took a deep breath.

“I know full well most of you won’t listen to me because you’re not like this land. A broken land waiting for the water to return most of you could care less since you’re now in the lap of luxury. I can’t stop you from feeling this way. But know this when my army is ready I am coming for every land to force you under my hoof!!”

He goes silent again the judges come up behind him and they wait for him to speak for him. The drone backs up to see them all he stays silent and he looks at the airship my friends are on. Tick Tick is holding a machine gun. Hawk is all primed and ready to go. Waterspout holds her knife in her magic ready to go. Cranberry holds a gun and has wing blades on her wings. Inaygna leans on her staff aiming a sniper rifle. Dunewalker stands there and I notice a strange device on Hawks' legs. I saw it there last time no when they rebuilt her they let Dunewalker help.

“Ah to those who are listening behind me are the judges of the stars. They will follow me everywhere and they will listen to every word I say yes they will. Now the hero's friends are here including the Enclave and Steel Rangers hmmm someone must have told them. “

He glances at Dunewalker as she looks at him. He mouths softly ‘now’ Dunewalker clicks a button on a little controller box. A sudden charge goes through Hawk's body as the others stare at her and scream. Her entire body falls suddenly she can still talk and move her cams she just can’t stand.

“HAWK!”

Roll Roll forms into a ball rolling to attack Dunewalker Tirek jumps onto the airship causing it to shake a bit and he forces Roll back as he forms back into the bug and Tirek quickly punches Roll grabbing him and absorbing all his magic. He gets a bit bigger and Roll falls weakly unable to move very well.

“Oh no you don’t”

Tick Tick charges firing on Tirek Erebus fires a magic bolt of lighting into Tick Tock and she screams in pain as her eyes open wide as she falls to the ground all her systems going crazy she falls to her side and can see what is going on and still speak

“I can’t move….”

She grunts trying to move and Waterspout charges swinging her blade at Tiriek a magic spell is cast on her by Catrina and her lizard friend Rep forms himself into a cage and she tries using her sword on him and when she cuts into him the sword shatters. Rep stares at her from the ceiling I could tell he didn’t want to do this.

“I am sorry forgive me..”

Catrina laughs

“Enough Rep”

She grabs her potions and they are all empty she looks around suddenly and she screams in pain as she is going through withdrawal. She finally shrinks back to normal size and she holds herself close hating this feeling of no magic.

This all happens so quickly the Flores from the top of the project rainfall force their roots around the Steel Rangers they try to fight them but the Flores pollen gum up every part of their armor. Zeb opens his satchel. The dust from the Shadow stealer goes for all the enclaves but Shadow Flight and Cranberry. Shadow Flight tries to attack and Tirek bucks him hard and he flies to the back of the Enclave ship and hits his back to the wall knocked out. Cranberry tries to attack Neighsay and Tirek grabs her wing holding her down.

“I don’t want to hurt you, please. Don’t make me hurt you please.”

Cranberry doesn’t fight it she knows there is no way she can. Inyanga fires at Wheel Tread and she misses a bit. Dunewalker gets in the way of the sniper before she fires again and stares down at her.

“Surrender please Inyanga please.”

Inyanga sets down her staff and sniper rifle. She looks to see what is about to happen next she sighs deeply standing by her friends and the others who are set on the airship after they’re all put in their place. The Steel ranger's armor was powered down as they now wait for what is ahead.

“Hmm now since that is over. It’s time for the grand reveal.”

Before the Enclave vessels could fire on Project Rainfall a magic storm forms from Erebus and all the enclave ships explode and some get tossed into the mountainside. I don’t know if there are any survivors and I look down feeling this is all my fault.

“Okay finally now for the grand..”

He looks up to make sure nothing else is showing up no more flying vessels no more pegasus nothing he takes a deep breath and is relieved again.

“Okay now for the grand reveal”

“Now before I do the judgment of the hero. I will do the judgment of her friends.”

He nods to Dunewalker. She knows that she is one of my friends even after all this. She is part of this judgment.

“You all will be separated in a way that may take years. For you to find each other again.”

Coming out of the darkness of the machine. A half cybernetic half flesh Storm King walks on the deck. In the middle of his chest, the howling dance glows brightly. When the king walks past me. But before anything could happen Cranberry quickly lifts her pistol into her mouth. She left off one shot and it almost hit Wheel Tread. The bullet smacked right into a minion behind him. He shook his head.

“Do it..”

The Storm King lifts the staff he held. Along with the howling dance, powerful magic comes out of it. Into the staff itself and a storm forms. Tirek leaping back to the platform and the airship my friends are on is broken apart. They float in the tornado and parts of Hawk are flown all over the land the brain dome is tossed into the water and sinks below the waves. Cranberry is tossed towards Kludgetown. Tick Tock is tossed towards Nirik. Dunewalker is tossed towards the forest near the bunkers. Rep transforms into a giant hawk to catch Catrina before they fall. The Steel Rangers are tossed everywhere including the remaining Enclave and Shadow Flight. I don't see where they end up for all I know my friends are dead.

Inyanga I didn’t see where she got tossed, my last two friends. Roll Roll and Waterspout both got tossed toward Hard Rock. How the spell carried them so far but thankfully from what I saw the Storm King was kind to at least not kill them hopefully.

“Now to all ponies of this land. It’s now time for the hero's Judgment.” The cage opens up and I am released. “Now how about some music for this dear DJ as it’s recorded hmm?” Yanari didn’t wish to do this. But I have a feeling she did it out of respect for me. I saw Beezen again and he nodded at me. When he vanished a mare tosses me the knife that held the gem. I catch It in my buggy hands holding it tightly. I didn’t even know this mare and she smashed her hoof into Wheel Tread's face dropping me.

“RUN!!”

She yelled to me and before he could do anything she was fired on and dead. Tirek reached for me I swing at his hand and he grabs the blade. Blood drained from his hand and the magic is drained and the rune is removed. The dagger snaps in half and he tosses it off the side. I try to go for my armor that was left on top of the cage. Rep transformed into a bull and smashed the cage off the side. Catrina and the rest of the judges surrounded me.

“Now….for your judgment.” They move away from me the Storm King stares down at me. He lifts a pistol and aims right at me. I am backed up to the edge of the machine looking down. I took a deep breath and stood on my back legs. The music finally plays as I get ready to fight for my life.

“There's no time for us”

I lift into the air and get ready to fire my stinger and the Storm King fires into my wings I fall to the deck again and stare up at him.

“There's no place for us”

I was scared I felt my heartbeat with the fear filling me. I closed my eyes and I didn’t have a chance to fight back. I felt Tirek lifting me and I look at him. He had eyes of regret and respect for me. He leaned to whisper to me. I didn’t understand what he meant at the time. Heard the gun cocking and looked back to the Storm King.

“What is this thing that builds our dreams”

I sigh looking back on my journey. My start I haven’t been away from the island that long. I come out of my mind for a moment to see the Storm King smirking and he chuckles laughing loudly He loses his aim for a moment as he laughs.

“Finally...I get revenge on heroes for what they did to me. I GET MY REVENGE!!!” He laughs loudly howling in laughter.” First this land. Then Equestria then the world. Even if it takes me years to bring this land to heel.”

He fired and the bullet went right into my heart. My glowing blood flew all over the place. I felt my life slowly ending as I am now tossed. My vision slowly starts to go fuzzy I feel my life going over my eyes. Of my Queen and Majesty. Of how kind she used to be. Then turns into a monster. I heard the last words of the song. Before my life fully ended.

“Who wants to live forever?”

There is darkness in the world. There is an end to the story of darkness. But most of the time darkness will win. The desert slowly moves as the hero has died. The friends of the hero missing. It’s now time for us to face our judgment we have run from the stars too long. The universe now wishes for its blood. I leave this land to find the weapon to fight. I the Queen leave my kingdom. To find the Rainbow of Light. The only hope is to find the grave of the one known as Williams and whoever else lives in the land of Dream Valley. I look at the waters ahead and I know full well I will not return.

<0000000>

The eyes of the Storm King

I watch while the body of the hero falls to the sands below and vanished with the sand. I look up to see the one that brought me back from what is called death. I look in my chest seeing a cracked orb full of what is called power. I look back on what my evil spirit has been doing for the past years. Housing in the body of a unicorn known as Fleur watching this unravel around the world. I don't remember much after that.

"Now the Storm King will speak. He will speak for all of you and you will finally be free with his words." He wants me to speak for him? He wants a former evil leader to speak and try to get a battle rising for this very land known. Wait this is not Equestria I remember this land. I took over this land back in the day. That... unicorn Tempest I think she was named. I think now she is dead.

The drone looks up at me. I could tell this would be broadcasted to the entire world and all I could do was smile. I come forward standing near the other judges. I knew I can finally win even if I have this pony. Willing to get in my way for now of course.

"I know the ponies and others outside of this desert land would never agree to these words. I am sure there are many out there willing to take the heroes off their thrones. Toss those the rich out on their asses. Most of you have been harmed by slavers, the enclave, zebras, and last but not least heroes. The heroes are the biggest threat of them all."

The glee came over my face that I could finally destroy what those six mares tried to do.

"Those mares that stopped me so long ago. They never allowed me to fully explain myself. I wished to have gotten to know them through their friends. But they never gave me a chance to become that. My friends rise and take your land back. First this land of window maker and then all of Equestria and the rest of the lands beyond. Dethrone the minions of the heroes."

I smile grabbing tightly of the staff.

"For Equestria will be yours and the courts. I will put those in their place. Just give them what they deserve for a storm is coming." I cast the spell and shot a magic bolt into the sky and the storm slowly formed around the land. It would take maybe a day or so to fully take effect.

"To those that don't want this new land.. run...leave or die.."

I head back inside I look down at the orb feeling strange memories from it. I close my eyes hearing the voices of those who touched it. I hear the one known as the wolf Tiria why is she speaking to me? I walk deeper into the machine to listen to these voices. They have much to tell me I look back outside a tear falls from my cheek I catch it wondering what the hell is going on with me. I hear a gentle voice. 'Listen old monster to the hearts of those who touched this orb before. Those who had the ill will and racist intent as this crystal kills them in the end and took the best parts of them with it.'

I close my eyes after I get into the dark corner of the machine and listen.

Sunny Days

I was just having a calm day and I heard an alarm go off. I didn’t know what it was I got up from my desk. I hear gunshots and it made me stop in my path. A mare guard rushes in and pants looking at me.

“Sunny… the Storm King has returned Ruby is dead and Cranberry and the others have been tossed all over the land. Shadow Flight could be dead or alive I am not sure. We need to get you and the other doctors out of here. Do you have any battle experience?”

I shake my head

“No is there a safer way out for me?”

The mare nods.

“Sunny there is a back way out of the base into the mountains. It will lead to a back door and I will ask you this fly as fast as you can to Hard Rock.”

I nod and the mare shows me the way. We walk past a bunch of battles and we look to be losing I see many of the other doctors either dead or getting shot. I see some of the Enclave gettings lined up and then killed

We finally make it to the room and the mare puts in the code.

“Go..quickly.”

I nod and I had to leave and the mare stands by the door I hear her firing and she closes the door and I run very fast through the mountain's old tunnels I trip on a rock and flap my wings to keep myself from falling I stroke my wounded hoof. I fly as quickly as I can out of the tunnels and get into the desert.

I see a few Enclave vessels still around fighting off the Storm King's old airships I can’t just stay and watch I fly off as fast as I can get to Hard Rock. It takes me as least Thiry minutes of none stop flying. My wings are burning I feel like they would fall off if I keep flying

I get to hard Rock and I crash land I cough panting trying to get back up and I see a camel from the order of Mimic coming over to me.

“Sunny?! Are you okay?’

I groan.

“Warn…Pinda the King has returned."

The order of MImic camel lifts me on her back rushing with me to the hospital. I pass out from how tired I am.

_______________

Subria

I am deep into the research station and I hear the alarm go off. I look around to look for my mate and I quickly get out of the station I see my mate and HIss fighting Storm Kings minions outside of the research station the defense is firing on them and we three snakes seem to be taking them on with no problems.

“What is going on?”

Hiss turns to look at me

“The Storm King has returned Ruby is dead and her friends are missing. I don’t know about you but I am not going to play around anymore ready my dread friends?”

I nod to my mate and we both release our dread mist into the air and the storm king minions scream and cry as we speak to them

“You don’t belong here you should run.”

Slither spoke.

“You shouldn’t be here you will piss off the snakes.”

While the Storm King minions are crying and depressed they can’t pick up their weapons Hiss who is a strangler bites all he can in the legs and then strangles one of them to death. My mate and I fight to the stairs with Hiss and fight as far as we can hoping we don’t get pushed back.

Diamond Cutter

While I walk through the roads of Hard Rock I hear an alarm I see a camel from the order of mimic running by with Sunny Days on her back but I ignore that and head to the main gate to defend.

I see a group of Storm King minions and standing beside the gates with the guard is Porchina. She stands there ready to use her magic she has a magic cloak on her back. I guess she removes it when she doesn’t need to use her magic.

“Diamond cutter be a dear and keep them at bay long enough so I can use my glass magic. Then you can shatter them. But I need some time”

I nod looking at the camels and we charge out to deal with the storm King minions the camels fight like they always do and when they attack me I deal with them how I deal with them by smashing my hands into them and then using my laser to burn through many of them.

Some of them turn to dust when my laser hits them and one of the camels tosses a Storm King minon to me and I lift them into the air and smash them down as I get hit hard by a blade and it bounces off my shiny body.

“Oh oh ho you want to piss this lady off?”

The storm King minon gulps. Many of the Storm King minions have fallen and only a few camels are wounded I have never seen camels fight before they fight like monsters and we hear some spell behind us forming

“O vitrei vires denuo magicae tuae opus sum. Opus est ut mea virtute ut haec monstra vitreis conquasseris.”

Porchina cast her spell and she scream from her power and the cape on her back glows and infront of us the entire army who is still alive not many they turn to glass Porchina pants painfully she is tired and winded.

With the camels, we shatter the glass. I ask others to leave as I gather the shards it will take a while and then I will make something from it when the glass is picked up.

I heard the city's alarm and I stood up from my desk and come out of my office my stallions and mares stand waiting to fight you don’t piss off sex workers you treat them with respect and honor. I stare at them as they held their weapons. I don’t even have any weapons I have trained years ago into something else most didn’t but my workers

A bunch of Storm King minions charged in and my stallions and mares fight any way they can weapons guns and I did what was I could do went to one of the minions a robot and I took my left hoof and with one hard smash into the robot it shatters hard as my hoof forced out of the body

I let my leg down as my cybernetic leg returns I fling my mane. I stand on my hooves and click my hoof and it turns into a mini-gun starting it up and firing on the robots and the Storm King minions.

Finally, as it was fate all the minions turned into glass from Porchinas magic and I cock my mini-gun as it shifts back into a hoof.

“Girls boys go help clean up and I will talk with the order of MImic to get doctors and medicines for the wounded.”

My girls and stallions leave and I go back to my office opening a closet to grab fake flesh for my leg and put it on their leg after putting new ammo into the leg. I sigh I didn’t want to show them that I have a cybernetic leg I turn to see one of my mares.

“Ruby is dead.”

Hearing this hit me hard tears fall from my eyes as I head out to deal with the order of Mimic it's all I can do now.

Ghost

Hard Shell is on heavy alert but Thrake is talking to the guards and army.

“Ruby is dead the Storm King has returned and since I am the grandson of Tirak he has demanded that he takes care of me himself. If he and I fight I ask you to not get in the way and if he wins Storm King will take over if he doesn’t we will work together.”

I sigh and we are told to go back to our post

I head back into the bar nodding to my boss

“Ruby is dead Ghost”

I weakly smile

“I know.”

I head back to my post and I sob softly oh little Ruby…I will miss you.

A day later

The storm from the Stormking himself has almost been fully formed. But it wasn’t strong enough to keep others from going through it yet. A lone Hippogriff separated from her friends and family land in the desert. She is looking for a way into the Water Hunter's city. She trips over something that looks like a rock and she falls face-first into the sand and she looks back. It’s a large blood-red object. She looks closely at the object and looks back to see the airships. The airships of the Storm King cover the sky. She lifts the object over her back and carries it and quickly trots off to the nearest Water Hunter entrance.

A door under the sand opens up. A group of water hunters quickly pour out of the door. One of them covers the hippogriff in a cloak. In the blood-red crystal, nothing can be seen on the inside. The land begins its fighting to fight the storming and other minions. Not too far from here are many of the desert creatures of the desert fighting off the storm minions. The naga and many other beings of the desert are doing their best to allow the water hunters. To finally get this crystal away from them.

Then when the water hunters carry it a pony from the order of MImic takes it from them taking the strange red crystal to wherever looking back at the water hunters the order of mimic ponies and camels run as quick as they can through the water hunter tunnels to get to where they must go.

My task is complete.

I send the NCR commander back to his master with a message that the ones protecting this land are those of the heroes and their families and those who are with them.

I head to the gates of Hard Rock and watch various souls walk back and forth I watch the NCR leave and much return since they're now gone.

"Heading back to the stars?"

I look back at Beezen smirking.

"Yes my task is finally done and I will go back to the task which is set for me. I did what I was meant to do break the little Bug break the others around me and now the NCR or those in the NCR who want this land for some reason they will never get it."

I get ready to leave.

"What should I tell the others if they ask about you?'

I shrug my shoulders

"Simply tell them the truth I am just a simple messenger of the stars and I will be known as forever Sesabtion to the stars their judge and inquisitor. When I am needed again I will be brought back when the time calls for me. I will return so now I must go to the stars and beyond."

I walk through the desert looking I take a slight breath and close my eyes spreading my arms as light scoops me up and I am taken back to the darkness where I belong.
