I watched as Canterlot slowly came into view, the ride had only taken an hour and a half, still slower than a normal airship, but still fast enough that it wasn't annoying to wait, during said wait I just played on my pipboy playing Red Menace, while me and my two guards had still been getting weird looks, my two guards had taken off their helmets to eat their ration, it was just a can of cram, a thick chocolate bar that wouldn't melt, and some water, soldiers got to choose their own rations, within reason of course, you can't be an effective soldier on the battlefield if all you eat is chocolate and nuka cola after all.

A few of the guardmare's had tried to make small talk with my guards as we flew to Canterlot, but where swiftly ignored as after they finished their rations, they clicked their helmets back into place on their power armor frames, which caused me to laugh lightly, these mares kept trying to talk to me as well, but I ignored them just as my guards did, not because I was trying to be rude, but because they where trying, and failing hard, to flirt with me and my guards, as we closed in on Canterlot, a group of armored guardmare pegasi flew in a jet formation side by side with our airship, seemingly as an escort once the captain of this primitive yet somewhat modern at the same time, airship, radioed in for an escort or something, I don't know exactly.

As we started to land, I noticed something strange yet again, no guard stallions, I was beginning to assume there WHERE no stallions here, but that'd be completely stupid, since without stallions this population of ponies woulda just...died off before I ever got here, however the fuck I got here, still had ponies investigating that, we finally landed after some pre landing checks, and I stood with no less than 6 Equestrian guards, and my two armored stallion, I started walking down the ramp after it was clicked into a small section of the floor.

I was extremely tired from the events that had occurred, so I had taken a few cups of coffee to even stand up without falling asleep, I didn't know how much longer I could do this for, so I hopped this shit ended soon enough, we where escorted to the throne room, walking past I noticed some asshat I had killed back in MY world, Blueblood, however he seemed different...shy I guess? But he had three large, buff looking guardmare's following him, two at his sides, and one behind him, I noticed all his personal guards had a wheel lock pistol.

The wheel lock mechanism was outdated by the time the flint and steel came along, since it was harder to make and costly to use since over time it broke, however seemingly here they got around those problems since they are using wheel lock pistols, and from what I can see, wheel lock muskets as well, the six guards turned to two, so four of them left, while my two guards stayed with me at all times, their power armor shining slightly in the light as I was brought before a large set of double doors, the throne room, and the door was opened for me, and I and my guards, walked inside.

Celestia was having a hard time processing what she had been told over the radio from captain Cloud Charge, from what she had told me, there was another Crystal Empire, in the badlands, one that is larger than Equestria itself, taking up HALF of the badlands, and while doing so, no changeling hives known in the area had been destroyed, they had cannons that could easily kill a fully grown elder dragon, and their leader was male, there had been no male leaders since well over a thousand years ago, not counting Sombra since he had actually been a shadow pony, but regardless of the gender of this ruler, he still had a very powerful Empire from the report she had been given, she'd have to tread lightly as she did not want to start a war like the griffons have been trying to do.

After only about 15 minutes of waiting, her throne room doors opened and in stepped the three she had been told about, she had been told what they looked like, but it still came as a shock to her when two stallions dressed in what was clearly super heavy full plate armor with the weirdest being the being they stood side by side with, King Lorenzo, he looked much like a pony did, but as said before in the report, he lacked a snout, his ears where on the side of his head, his eyes seemed much to small, and the lack of fur seemed weird as well, since every creature aside from those who had scales or lived under the water had a fur coat of some kind, truly his species was a mystery.

I watched as Celestia studied my guards, then me as well, she spent more time studying me than she did my guards however, so I did the same with her as well, and studied her, she looked almost exactly the same as the Celestia I knew and had tea with sometimes, aside from the clear difference in body shape and type, she looked more like what some pervs would call an amazon woman, she was about 7'6 feet tall, she was 6 foot something, but the horn added another foot n a half, with a nice gold sundress on, along with her normal crown, my guards just stood still as ever, like stone they didn't move unless I commanded them to do so, or I let them off on a break like I did back inside the airship as we where being flown to Canterlot, they where very loyal, as any good soldier should be.

We had studied each other, in under the span of two minutes, before Celestia spoke up, still sitting on her throne. "So...I don't mean to be rude, so please don't take it this way, but what exactly are you? You look almost like no species I've ever seen in my long lifespan, other questions can come after that."

I chuckled, this was the exact same question Celestia asked me in private when she first met me, it was amusing to think they would be so alike in that regard. "I am a human, the scientific name for my species is Homo Sapien, however everything you could possibly want to know, is in this little device." I handed her a small round metallic circle, no larger than a quarter, yet it was one of the best storage devices within my empire, it stored images, video, sound, music, and displayed it like a hologram, it was one of three created so far, for military use only for storage of classified data, however this one had basic knowledge that everyone inside my empire knew, like the fortress troop carriers, fighters, robots, soldiers and their weapons, the products that you could get within the Empire, however none of it was explained enough that someone could just try to jury rig their own versions of the items shown, it even included cars that had been created by my factories, they where completely automated aside from the workers there to make sure none of the machines just stopped producing items.

Celestia took the small disk in her hand, before pressing the blue button on the top, causing the pre mentioned things I spoke about to appear, causing her to gasp lightly, seemingly because the device used no magic she could detect, I just watched chuckling lightly as she went through the images on the holographic screen like a 5 year old would do with a smartphone, after about 15 minutes of looking through the disk, her horn glew as the sun set slowly. "I am so sorry, I forgot how late it was due to the recent events happening, you are welcome to stay the night in a royal guest room if you wish to do so."

I nodded. "Sure seems good enough for me, I'm tired as hell as it is anyways." That, was rather true, like I said before, I've only had two hours asleep, and I was tired enough to smash a wall into dust, and sleep on the dust, what I said however just caused Celestia to chuckle before she rang a small bell, and a mare in a maid uniform quickly walked up, and gave a small bow before standing back up.

"I would like you to escort King Lorenzo to a royal guest room, anything he needs you shall provide for him." Celestia motioned to me, and the maid quickly took me to a rather large guest room, with a bed that could fit, about 6 ponies on it.

I looked up at the maid. "You may go now, I don't really need anything right now." She seemed....oddly sad when I said that, but nodded anyway and walks off, seemingly to do something, I don't know what she does, possibly just cleaning or somethin, since she IS a maid after all, and before I forget to describe her, she was chocolate brown with a milk white mane n tail, and bright pink eyes, and a pair of fluffy looking wings on her back, and as said before, in a maid uniform, the old fashioned kind, I just turned to the bed, and flopped onto it with the grace of an elephant flying a blimp, and fell asleep, my two guards sleeping in the next room over to this one.
