Starfire stared in horror at Jonathan's unconscious body before looking at Stone Wall with rage-filled eyes. She flew over to him and had an energy Bolt the size of a car ready to throw at him.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't turn you into ash," she said, her eyes glowing green.
Berserker came up to her from behind, turned her around to face him and slapped her. “Because that comes later! Kill him now and we will lose vital information on where and how they got their hands on cybernetic tech! Do you understand me, woman?!” He growled at her. Starfire felt like a child getting scolded at by her father for something she was about to do.
“Got it!” Runner shouted when she finally managed to surgically remove the Krpytonite shard from Jonathan’s chest. From there she went through a meriate of tasks: stemming the blood loss from the gaping wound, cleaning it up and then sowing it back up. The shard was used to make it so, or else it would never have worked.
Placing the Kryptonite away, Runner shot one of the large stained glasses and let the sunlight shine through. Dragging Jonathan into the ray, they waited for a response from him.
After a moment passed Jonathan cut started to heal. A moment later his eyes snapped open, his heat vision showing.
He blinked a couple of times before getting up and said. "Oww that hurt like a mother fucker," Jonathan said while rubbing his neck in pain.
"Thanks Runner," Jonathan said, giving her a small smile.
“You’re welcome. Now, Stone Wall is still alive and we haven’t heard anything back from Hunter yet. So, you wanna torture the information out of him?” Runner asked when she pointed to the still nailed Caribou Prince.
"I have a better idea," Jonathan said while walking over to the nailed down caribou.
"Listen you little shit," Jonathan said forcing him to look at Jonathan. "You get one chance to talk or Else," Jonathan said, the prince answered by spitting a mouthful of blood.
"Fine then," Jonathan said before putting his hand on the caribou face and started to forcefully read his mind.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH STOP IT HURTS, FOR THE LOVE OF FAUST MAKE IT STOOOP!!!!" the Caribou Prince yelled while thrashing around violently.
“Using the Force to read ino his mind, huh?” Runner questioned when Berserker left the Throne room through the destroyed window. Collateral laying waste to enemy reinforcements outside in the corridor, while Pillar worked on building up some trust with Starlight Glimmer and the other female.
*SLAPT*
Everyone turned to see the prince's head explode with blood everywhere. "Guess his brain couldn't handle the pressure then," Jonathan said while wiping some blood off his face.
"Luckily I was able to get some information from him, it seems Big Mac was the first one just in case they needed something to kill me," Jonathan said before walking over to Pillar.
"So how are they doing?" Jonathan questioned Pillar.
“Shaken, confused, but fine for the most part.” Pillar answered before looking at what remained of Stone Wall. “Pity, I was hoping we could use him as bait to lure Dainn out into the open. Only to kill his last son in front of his face.” Jonathan was rather surprised at the morbid fate planned out.
Jonathan was surprised for a moment before having a look of anger. "Not like the son of a bitch would care, if he did he would have sent more than 500 caribou soldiers," Jonathan said before looking at poison ivy.
"Ivy, are you okay?" Jonathan questions while putting his hand on her shoulder.
“…How the fuck did I not realise it was her?” Pillar groaned in embarrassment with his head hung down in shame. “Oh, my God.”
Ivy looked at Pillar before looking at Jonathan and said. "I-I D-doing okay for the most part thank you," Ivy said while looking at Jonathan.
"Good good," Jonathan said before looking at Pillar. "Don't worry about it man. I was kind of confused before I noticed who she is," Jonathan said while putting his hand on his shoulder.
“But I feel stupid now.” Pillar mopped while lightly hitting his head against his large Warhammer. Jonathan winced at realising they all didn’t catch on quickly that it was Poison Ivy.
“FUCK!!!” They heard Berserker roar out loudly, making the place shake from his outburst of rage. The Kryptonian rubbed the back of his neck when he heard the revving of his chainsaw melee weapons the Angry Marine carried on him. Canterlot would no doubt be covered in blood and guts in his rampage.
"So nobody noticed that it was Poison Ivy?" Jonathan asked.
“We were too busy thinking about how we were gonna kill the Caribou, along with any and all traitors.” Runner admitted with a sigh. “Which begs the question: who else is here in this world? I’m praying that Wonder Woman and the Amazonians aren’t.” That’s…a legitimate question and concern.
"No, I think they have been teleported here by someone," Jonathan said before looking at a nearby wall.
"Well I would rather not deal with joker, mother fucker," Harley said while leading against a wall.
“Guys, we have a problem. All records and documents on the cybernetic tech are destroyed. No signs of those who worked on this anywhere, or the equipment. They must’ve moved them.” Hunter reported with mental images of an underground laboratory completely cleared out.
"Dumb-ass," Jonathan said while everyone looked at him. "I know where they got them from but as for the scientist they were planning on killing them, and as for the equipment there is only one person who knows how to make something like Mac. And that's Lex Luthor," Jonathan said before walking up to the wall and punching it making a giant hole.
"Also there's something down here that's calling out to me,” Jonathan said while looking into the hidden entrance.
“Huh, I was gonna call out Aliens. Then again, Lex Luthor is a brilliant, arrogant asshole. This definitely has him written all over it.” Hunter snorted, to which Jonathan didn’t fault for thinking it was aliens that were behind the development. He along with Starfire were living proof after all.
Walking down a hidden corridor with everyone else behind him Harley was the first to say.
"So what is this place, Jay," Quinn asked Jonathan while they passed by some cave drawings.
“Kryptonian and Jedi.” Runner answered while examining the cave’s walls. “The Force is strong in this place.”
“Then it was meant to be.” Pillar stated.
"A temple for the Jedi and Kryptonian," Jonathan said in a trance.
“Oh, great, storytime.” Runner sighed much to the other’s confusion. “He’s going to start telling us how this all came to be and what happened to his ancestors.” She clarified.
"Not really," Jonathan said, getting everyone's attention. "It's more or less telling what really happened to Krypton," Jonathan said in a monotone voice.
"The Kryptonian were grey Jedi Knights who would go around the Galaxy to either train new member or find anyone who would disrupt balance in any planet. But something happened," Jonathan said while looking at the cave drawings.
"And that has been?" Runner questions.
"Jo-el saw the future of our races. That one day there were only going to be a handful of us. And out of one of us they will become the most powerful Kryptonian Jedi Knight in the universe," Jonathan said before pausing.
"And that Kryptonian name is my own!!!" Jonathan said in shock as a drawing of him sitting on a throne wearing some kind of armor along with thousands upon thousands of warrior's wearing armor and wielding weapons of different kinds.
“Okay, this just got complicated.” Collateral commented with a wince. The Doom Marines looked towards Jonathan, who stood in shock still upon the realisation of him becoming a leader: a King. “So, what will it be?”
"We keep moving forward, there’s something here that was left for me," Jonathan said and started to walk further into the cave.
“Something to help you?” Pillar questioned Superboy.
"Something of that nature," Jonathan said while Harley and Starfire as well as Zecora and Nightmare show another drawing on the cave wall.
In which it made them blush crimson while smoke coming off their heads.
“Yep. You are definitely gonna end up with a big family.” Runner giggled at their reactions.
"What's going on over there," Jonathan asked. "Did you find something?"
“Well, your girls did.” Runner pointed towards his girls staring up at something. “They really seem to like what they’re seeing.”
Jonathan looked and saw a picture of him and his girls in a park with the sun in the sky, then leading under a tree but what got his attention was the four kids running around in said picture. This made him blush and mumble sentences that were hard to understand.
“Yeah, as if it’s gonna stay with just four children.” Runner said with a huff.
"OKAY LET'S KEEP MOVING!?!?" Jonathan yelled while walking away blushing leaving Runner to laugh at him.
After a moment they made it to a large steel door that had Superman’s symbol mixed with the Jedi Knight symbol.
“Any idea what could be behind these doors?” Collateral asked once they stood in front of it.
"Don't know, but it had to be important for them to heavily safeguard it," Jonathan said while touching the door, it gave off a Silver glow before opening.
"Holy shit dude!!" Jonathan said while looking inside the room.
Though it looked more like a Cavern than a room. There were over thousands of armor and weapons from the Medieval Age all the way up to future tech, even some were so advanced that you only see them in movies or comics books.
“So, they prepared just about everything for you and whoever will stand by you.” Pillar commented once he and the others saw the array of arsenals lined up along the walls.
"No kidding," Harley said while looking at a pair of armor. Jonathan then saw five pairs of female armor.
Each one was specifically tailored and fitted towards his lovers, along with the overall colour scheme and theme. Harley and Starfire’s were the only two high-tech armor, Poison Ivy’s seems to be a mix between Medieval and Advanced, while Nightmare and Zecora’s were more along of what Equestria currently has on hand.
Although the Medieval style armor lacked any technological faculty, it made it up in magical runes which not only enhances the armor that it’s inscribed in, but more so the wearer themself. The more Advanced ones offer more utility on whatever the wearer wishes to bring with them into battle. Modification is also an option, seeing as how one of the five is apparently a hybrid of the two sets. Giving more versatility with its modulus nature.
"Woah," Jonathan said as he stared at the armors before images of his girls wearing them made him blush crimson while thinking. "Sweet jesus that's hot as hell," Jonathan thought but more like said while everyone heard him while looking at the armor too.
“Your ancestors thought this out thoroughly.” Pillar said which sounded more like a compliment.
“Do you think there might be other Force Users out there in the world?” Collateral questioned after finding what seem to be pieces to build the hilt of a Lightsaber within boxes.
“Maybe. It is faint, but I can feel them all the same. It will be difficult to recruit them, though.” Runner answered with a sigh.
"Probably because half are either brainwashed stallions or enslaved mares," Jonathan said while looking around before seeing something in the middle of the Cavern that made his jaw drop.
"Oh. My. God!!" Jonathan said while looking at the armor.
“I guess this one is yours.” Collateral stated the obvious.
Standing in the middle of the Cavern was an armor that resembled Jonathan's costumes when he got displaced except for it had metal plates on the shoulder, arms, and legs that were a mixture of black and Silver colored. The helmet resembles that of Thor except it covered the mouth and there were glowing red where the eyes are.
It was also both Medieval style mixed with advanced technology, making it more badass.
“Why don’t you all put on your armor and take it out for a spin~?” Runner suggested with a purr.
Runner didn't have to tell Jonathan twice because he used his super speed to create a red tornado around him and his armor. A second later Jonathan was wearing his new armor.
“If you guys are done, get back up here! Cloudsdale just sent a massive force to re-rake Canterlot!” Hunter informed the group and the rest of the Doom Marines rushed out to quell the insurgents. Once Jonathan’s girls dorned on their armor, they headed on out to test their newly equipped hardware.
Once they got outside they saw about 2 thousand of caribou and brainwashed stallions as well as traitor stallions. All of them have been equipped with guns and swords.
In the thick of it all was Berserker, rushing in headlong and leaving a bloody path in his wake. Their weapons proved to be pitifully ineffective against his armor: the bullets would either crumble on impact, or deflect off. He set those who caught too close on fire with two of his shoulder-mounted launchers, letting them burn to death. They tried to engage someone who’s armed to the teeth and excels in close quarters combat, thinking that would make a difference.
Runner was busy zooming all over the city to find the mares and children, carting them to the safety of Pillar’s barrier that covered the entire castle, while Collateral kept the skies clear of any hostile airborne units.
“Jonathan, can you and the girls secure our flanks? The enemy is coming at us from the sides.” Hunter warned his group and it would make sense to hit them from the sides. With how aggressive these Doom Marines fight, even on the defense, it would force their enemy into a pincer maneuver. They couldn’t hit them from the front because of Berserker, or above with Collateral’s overwhelming firepower.
Speaking of Hunter, where is he?
“I’m trying to find the enemy Commanders leading this small army. The only thing I’m sniping off are the NCOs.” Ah! Destabilise the command structure and demoralise the troops. Knowing the Caribou and whoever else is with them, this could definitely play in their favour.
"Harley and Nightmare go left, Zecora and Star go right. Ivy help Collateral in covering fire," Jonathan said, before Harley said.
"What about you Jay?" Harley asked to which Jonathan smiled evilly before saying.
"I'm not gonna let Berserker have all the fun," Jonathan said while flew at top speed into the caribou army.
