Canterlot Stadium
Drew
Tuesday, 1:00 PM

Well, I had tranquilizer darts loaded into my Desert Eagle, but somehow it didn't affect them at all when I shot them. My cover I was hiding behind was deteriorating very quickly, and I had no place to go. I knew that this was one of those moments where you kill or be killed. I pulled out my knife, and holstered my Desert Eagle, but in return I took out my M1911, which had lethal ammunition loaded into it.

I jumped out of cover, with those agents who were spraying bullets at me, and I dropped onto my back, Resident Evil 6 style, and managed to get them out of the picture. I chased after the pony who had the southerner accent, he was not that far ahead of me. Other agents who were also armed with guns were closing in behind me, so the only way I could go, was forward.

For some reason a button appeared in front of me, like in one of those quick time events. I thought this was funny, because quick time events are fun.

"Press the 'X' button to go faster?" That's what it said in the text box that showed up in my peripheral vision. Oh well, I pulled out my Playstation controller and started mashing the fuck out of the X button. I don't know how, but I was catching up to the leader, faster and faster every second.

"Gotcha!" I tackled him to the ground, I cuffed him and left him by the gates. My pursuers were for some reason, dead, very suspicious. I went to the maintenance room to go unlock those gates I left him by, and once I got back, he was dead too. I searched the bodies of those who attacked me.

"Dogtags?" I lifted them to get a better look at them, these were the guys who went missing during the attack on Las Pegasus. Their unit name was Charlie's Rangers from the look of things, I didn't personally know them, but I know there were more of them. I examined even further, because I wasn't the cause of their deaths. I looked inside of their mouths to see a single tooth missing on each of them.

"Death pills? Why would they need death pills?" I took pictures of what I've found and unlocked the gates. I walked out to get back to the castle as quickly as I could, but what I didn't expect is that I'm on TV.

It looks like the security cameras in the stadium caught the whole firefight, I turned into an Alicorn so nopony would recognize me in human form. I returned to the castle, and immediately went towards the throne room.

"Is something troubling you Drew?" She asked, I was out of breath, but I nodded.

"I was just attacked by Charlie's Rangers at Canterlot Stadium. Their squad leader wasn't there so there may be more of them." I informed, she nodded, and understood the whole situation.

"Yes, I saw your firefight on Television. You are one crazy man Drew." I chuckled, I took off my helmet and laid it on the table.

"Not as crazy as Pinkie Pie ma'am. But I am a close second, that I am." I replied she giggled at this remark.

"Well, you should be getting back to Ponyville, Rainbow's waiting for your return. Don't worry about those mercenaries, I'll have Captain Armor deal with that." She smirked. I had a blush on my face, but it wasn't that noticeable since I was hunched over, gasping for air. Before I went on the train, I wanted to do some snooping, I looked into the database to see what information I could find on Charlie's Rangers.

"Unit size, 150!? That's crazy!" This isn't good, there were only about 10 of them at the stadium. If there are about 140 more of them, that's going to be troublesome.

"Why would Charlie's Rangers have that big of a unit size? They're like a fifth of the Equestrian Army Rangers, that they are." I was talking to myself again. Since I'm still alive, I guess that I have a bounty on my head, but I don't know for sure because all of them were dead when I investigated the area. I don't know for sure, but that puts my friends in danger.

I guess those lessons I gave Rainbow in fighting in armed and unarmed combat was a good thing after all, that it is. I rode the whole train ride home in a silent vigil, reflecting over today's events. I hope the princess was right tasking Shining Armor with hunting down 140 ponies, we have all of their records on file, but it's going to be rough hunting all of them down.

Ponyville
Drew
Tuesday 5:30 PM

I fell asleep on the train, and Rainbow was right, my sleeping clock is seriously fucked up. I walked outside to find Nick running away from Applejack, who was not far behind.

"Come back here ya whippersnapper!" Nick also had his arms full of apples, I guess Nick was hungry. I tackled Nick to the ground, I only did it because stealing is wrong.

"Drew!" He was pissed, but I eventually got off of him.

"Here Applejack, this should pay for his food." I pulled out a gold bit, I always carry around a bag or two full of bits.

"Thank ya, but tell Nick that he's not allowed on mah farm for a while." She looked pretty mad, but she got over it really quickly.

"I'll see you later Applejack, I'll put something in for Nick as punishment." I smirked, she walked off and I picked up Nick, and put him on his feet.

"Pinkie come here!" I called for her, I think Nick got at what I was doing.

"Oh hi Drew! You need something?"

"I need you to follow Nick for a few hours, and he loves Chimi-Cherry Changas." I gave her a wink, her smile couldn't get any bigger. Nick was like, "Oh sweet Celestia, help me." Pinkie and Nick were off, with Pinkie talking non-stop, I laughed. All of a sudden I just got a really painful headache, it was so intense I had to sit down.

"You! You're the one who killed Discord! Now you're the one who's gonna die now!" My headache subsided, but those words that that voice in my head said to me burned into my mind. Why would the after effects of killing Discord happen now, it's been two years since I ended him on Earth.

"Oh hey Drew! How's everything going?" Twilight was walking over in my direction, I haven't seen her for quite some time.

"Oh, you know, getting shot at, trying to keep myself sane living here. All that good stuff." She giggled, I wonder why she wasn't with Jhon today though.

"Hey, where's Jhon? Shouldn't he be with you today?"

"No, he said he had some business to take care of. He's on the weather team alongside Rainbow y'know."

"No shit really?" Twilight never liked it when I cussed, but she gave up already.

"I think your magic stamina should be back to normal in bout three weeks. That's great news!"

"Yeah, but I have to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Did Discord have any other followers besides Trixie?" This question caught her off guard.

"Oh, uhmm... I'm pretty sure he had one other one. I think his name was Sharp Katana."

"Sounds like he uses swords?" She nodded, I had a knife, but I never used a sword before. I guess I will be going on a little trip in the future, to Meiji Era Japan. While I was in town, I went to the master blacksmith, he crafted everything like his creations were his own children. He really was a master, and he was Japonyese too, so that made everything much easier.

"Oh hello Drew. What can I do for you today?"

"I was wondering if you could make a Sakabatō Shinuchi (Reverse-Blade Sword) for me?"

"A Sakabatō Shinuchi, eh? I will have it ready for you by the end of the week." My intentions for having this, is because I didn't want to kill unless I needed to. I only killed out of self defense, or by orders from the princess, from now on.

One Week Later...

This sword has to be one of the best I've ever seen, and I've been to Japan on Earth before. I know how to judge high quality things from poor quality, and this was one of the best. I've only handled a Japanese sword only once before, and I was hoping that Nick would be able to open a portal for me to be able to go to Meiji Era Japan.

"Thanks guys, I'll be back in a few months. Guys, take care of Ponyville for me, okay?" I walked through the portal, and I fell right in front of the hut of Hiko Seijūrō XIII. And by a few months, I mean a few years, because Earth has a longer time span than Equis, and two years on Earth is only 2/5's of Equestria's time. I was going to spend two years in Japan, and that's only 8 months back in Equestria.

"I was expecting you, you moron." Hiko just being Hiko, but I bowed in his presence. He gave me a Kimono to wear, that looked like Kenshin's, but a blue top, but I didn't know why. It looked pretty badass, because I had that spiky hair to go with it.

"You look ridiculous in those clothes, change and we'll get started." He smirked, I knew this was going to be like boot camp, again.
