Chapter 9: Identity theft

(As of recent the story was updated at 10/16/22 for the purpose of the readers)


The federal death row facility...
3:20 AM...
Execution day...
2045, December 4th, Earth...
Unknown Location...


A group of soldiers were walking through the cells of the war criminals and trespassers, who were either there
for execution or simple maximum security imprisonment, the soldiers were goofing off and started betting on the
way to the cell as the execution was to take place at 3:30 A.M. For the sake of the execution will made by the
person in question.

The captain of the group stopped at the cell as he orders the person on the other side of the camera.

"Doors, open."

The doors slide open as the group went inside with weapons on the prisoner as the captain says.

"Ready bastard." Said the Captain.

The prisoner didn't respond. As it was a eerie silence as if..

The Captain signaled the Lieutenant to grab him when he happened to noticed that when the prisoner
wasn't responding by the Lieutenants gun poking he orders.

"Push him."

The Lieutenant did and as it revealed itself in the moon light it was a body of pillows that'd been glued
together to look like a dummy.

"What the?" The Captain questioned before he was knocked out unconscious, with the other two guards attempted to fight off the guy before they were also bashed on the wall as the prisoner got ahold
in a choke hold on the soldiers neck as the Lieutenant pointed his rifle the prisoner used the soldier
as a body shield as the Lieutenant, without any consideration, open fired on him three times which didn't kill the prisoner
but the guard, that he had choke hold, as the prisoner slams the body at the Lieutenant and quickly
grabbed and slammed him into the door bars, breaking the officer's neck.

The Prisoner grabs the key and a rifle from the dead guard along with stealing their armor, helmet, and even uniform.
As he spoke in a old English and Russian accent..

"Tak longeth, my Druz'ya's." He said as he dressed himself and ran off to his destination. The exit. (Duh)

As he ran off into the hall the Captain woke up from his unconsciousness to find that the prisoner had escaped.

"Dammit!" He said to himself as he grabbed the radio from on of his dead men. "ALL UNITS IN SECTOR 45 AND 1! WE HAVE A JAILBREAK IN PROGRESS! PRISONER TAG 4425 IS ESCAPING! AKA 'HELINSKI "STAR" VLADIMIR'!" He shouted
as the radio responds.

"Copy sending units to block exits in sector 1 and sending the advancement group to sector 45 in the area." Responded Dispatch as the Captain gets up to assess the damage.

"Son of a Bitch." He cussed as he grabbed his rifle and closed the eyes of his killed men.


The sirens were now ranging out as the whole facility was now in lock down as Helinski was walking down as if
nothing was going on as guards went to each cell cuffing the prisoners down just before the advancement
squad entered the cell hall shouting.

"EVERYONE DOWN ON THE GROUND NOW! GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND!!!" The guards were
gun pointing the prisoners down now as gun shots can be heard as the guards shot up the air as Helinski
quietly and quickly ran to the exit to sector 45 to make his escape to sector 1.

That was before one of the advancement guards spotted one of them and shouted.

"HEY YOU GET ON THAT GRO-" He was interrupted fast by the bullets pelting his chest
as Helinski open fired on the guard as the bullets penetrated the guards armor as he fell in the ground.. Dead.

The other advancement units were shocked as one shouted.

"PRIVATE JACOB NO!" That was when they returned fire at Helinski
as he gets to the corner and fires back as a whole gun fight ensues with
M4 bullets soaring in the air as he bagged one of the guards in the head killing
another one as they then pinned him down.

The guards slowly made their way towards Helinski, and that was not good to him as he looks for another way.
And then he see's a window behind him but in the open as he makes a choice.

It was either fall from the building and somehow survive, or get shot to death by a group of vengeful troops who wants
his head on a pike.

And so he suppresses fire at the soldiers as he drew his pistol as he can feel the bullets deflecting from his armor
that he had stolen from the dead guards as he shoots the window that stands in the way of his freedom
and death, Helinski jumps out the now shattered window from the 45th story floor as he falls to his so call freedom
as the advancement guards looked down.


"Call the chief.. He might wanna hear this." Said the Commander as the guards saluted and went off to alert the chief.


Helinski woke up to seeing darkness as he quickly realized his surroundings and found that he is still moving, alive,
and well.. Injured.

He tooked his armor off and ran from the sight in search for a place that he buried his toys before he was imprisoned. He finds the cemetery, where he buried his toys as he stole a shovel from the shed while quietly entering the death
field without triggering any alarms as he finds his grave stone.

"Heh, how useless that is." He said to himself. "I guess this takes digging your grave to a whole literal way."

He started digging the grave burial as he grabbed the coffin out and then carried it into the forest.

It tooked around 2 hours before he reached the shed in the middle of the forest when he opened his box the
inside of the coffin was happened to be the copy of the same portal except.. It's not the one from the base
that you read about the whole time. It was a mirror portal, he grabbed the mirror out and tapped his hand
in the portal to see if it worked, and lucky enough it did.

He then grabbed a box of bombs that are manually detonated through count down as they are all set for 10 seconds
upon entering the portal with a trip wired attached at the sides. He grabbed a image that he bought from the prisoners
back in the prison as he looked at the picture he had eyes of infuriated revenge sparked in him.

"I'm cometh for youth general, and when I doeth, you will wish that everythingth you've doneth never happened." Helinski said as he torched the picture after taking a good look at it and threw it off as he entered the
portal triggering the countdown on the bombs.

The bombs triggers and exploded and the destroyed every inch of mile the shed covered that could be
heard from the prison and seen from ground level as the smoke rises. The image of the ponified general
lands in the smoldering inflamed ground as it disintegrates to ashes.


Inside of James mind


The mind is not a peaceful place anymore.. Troops entering from Doctor's territory and from the center lobe
invades Aldreichs territory as tanks smashes through the gates and towns built in the design of Aldreich
are obliterated.

Doctor looked on as the Howitzers and armored transports loaded with troops goes by him in a besieged city
that has marked yet another capture of territory as troops guarding were caught off guard and were either
killed or captured as Doctors troops imprisons and then executes them.

Doctor watched as yet another row of troops were brutally executed right in front of him for the sake of the
new phrase. "For the greater good." It was as planned so far as a Warling accountant comes to Doctor's side.

"Ah, Accountant, how are we doing so far?" Doctor asked.

"Sir, we have so far captured 3 majors and 12 minor towns, as losses are low in the thousands but the enemies are so far in the ten thousands." The Warling reported.

"Very good keep up the good work, dismissed." Doctor ordered as the Warling saluted and left.

As the Warling walked off, Doctor looked at the things that went down as he said to himself.
"Your doing the right thing." He said to himself infront of a execution.

As he looked at the Howitzer going by a RPG round directly hits it on the barrel, exploding it's internal
crew area as the insides smoked to death, a gun fight breaks out as Doctor shouts.

"DESTROY THEM! DO NOT LET THE THREAT KILL US ALL!" He Shouted as his troops started quelling the rebels.


Outside of James mind


It was a bright sunny day and James was walking through town, greeting the locals on his way pass as some where
a bit weirded out that the absolute commander of the Equestrian nation's defense was on the streets dancing and walking
to some new music they never heard before that they can overhear from his headsets, he greeted two of the guards
going down town.

"WHATSUP!" James Shouted in Greeting.

The guards hoofed bumped with him as they continued moving along in a glad face.

While he had nothing on but the headsets and sunglasses, the guards and everypony else recognized the commander
as he trots through the town very daily. However it's strange as James would usually have guards with him at
all times but this time it's different.

He went inside a local market to find the perfect sun foil for tanning and sun screen as the ponies froze upon
his entrance inside, in a way of respect, but James says.

"WELL! DON'T STOP ON MY ACCORD!" He said excitedly as the ponies relieved and went back to their shopping for their wants and needs.

James walks to aisle to aisle looking for the foil before finally a pony, who is a earth type, directs him.

"Sir? Is there anything I can do?" The worker asks.

"Uhh, Yea.. Do you know where I can find a sun foil?" James asked.

"Aisle 5." Said the worker as he went back to work. A young colt stallion with a blue fur, yellow hooves, and a multi colored mane, seemed to just got the job to. Anyways.

James went looking in the aisle, that he was directed to, as he looked from shelf to shelf he conveniently finds
sun foil and sun screen for his tanning.

As he walked to the register he placed his items there but of course there was a old pony, known as Mr.
slow speeder. So as the stuff he is buying is, slowly, being scanned he chills and relaxes on the wooden counter
looking around the store.

If you haven't catched on by now then you never had birthdays and your a alien.

It's his birthday.

James was born in December 4th in Texas, a pure southern with ambitions to join the military and rise
the ranks and well, while he has no one to go back to now since.. The war.. Of course his father and sister
are alive and they live in the White House but his original however was hit by the warheads but
his mother was in the center of the blast when it happened... A brutal fate that no one wants. And yet wants?

It was confusing really.. Why would people prefer to lose their lives to the bombs? Don't they have
a life? A family? A possible wife? Hard to explain so it was best to stop.

A bell is heard as he still waits for the stuff to finish as a certain pink pony enters.. Wait a minute. Oh shit
it's pinkie! What's she doing? Is she sniffing me? No wait that'd be weird, even for her. Or is it?
WAIT WHAT THE FU-?

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMESY!!!!" She shouted as he is being shaked up and down as if she can carry a boat if she wanted to.

"0_0"

James can only watch and get dizzy as he tries to regain balance from the wobbling, but as he gets his senses
back on Pinkie was gone. No wait never mind she's just hiding in the frozen aisle.

"Uhh, I can still see you." James Notices.

"Just pretend I'm not here! look at your mane-mane-mane-mane." She jeered as James chuckled a little. He always found her funny too be honest. Despite the fact now being in the same
show with his favorite main heroes, it was ironic for him to be the military leader of it all..

Huh just like stranger things, with the fact that James felt like the Jim Hopper of the show.
Or was it Shining this whole time? I don't know he hasn't seen him much, so that's probably a need to find a
time to know each other even more or just hang out like guys do.

Anyways. As Mr. Speeder finished scanning the items James gave him the amount of bits charged and left as
he bumped into a strange individual.

"Pardon."

"Excuse me." Said the strange individual as he allows James to go pass him.

James had a strange feeling about this stranger.. Something's not right.. Anyways whatever that was he left back
to camp Twilight in the populated road as he turned the music back on the way. He opened the letter
to find a nice invite to a party in Twilights house. Huh? Thats.. Very nice of them.. He smiled
in a glad expression as he went off back to the base.

Meanwhile..

The individual looked at James as he revealed his hood and stared at his target.


There he was. The one who ruined everything that he built and now he was about to let that
dammed general have it.

Helinski was a white uh... Alicorn.. The dictator had a white horn with a blue dark tip at the top, with wings
at the end with blue shaded fur met with white as it fades into the color white.

He has a cloak to conceal his wings but didn't bother cover his unicorn side but he was seeking revenge in the most
terrible way he is thinking of..

Anyways Helinski followed James through the town in the most sneakiest way he could. The problem was the town
was too strange to him.. It was new and distracting along with it being a former battle zone of-.

"OOF!" (:D) Helinski bumped into another pony.

"Sorry! Sorry! Are you alright?" Twilight asked.

Helinski looked at the purple pony in a bit of shocked.. A Alicorn?? But how! And most importantly.. How?
It was a difficult question as his brain was now frying and it was either because of the sun or the fact
that there is a Alicorn infront of him..

Strange. But he had to get going or he might lose his target. So he decides to tell off this foolish fool.

"I'm fine! thanks, now if you don't mind I suggest you watch for other ponies who are trying to think on these streets, just because your a Alicorn who can just prance around like your something special doesn't mean you go and bump into other ponies. just know where you go. AWAY from them" Helinski rudely says (In a little strange normal English) as he walks off, leaving Twilight and Spike glaring at this stranger..

"Somethings.. Off about him. I just can't put my hoof on it.." Twilight suspected.

"Well yea? He just plainly insulted you?!" Spike exclaimed, not happy that
a stranger had literally yelled it off on his half sister.

"Not that, but that was offensive, but still.. Something's not right about him.." Twilight again suspected as the two continued heading back to the library tree house.


Inside of James mind: Neutral planning committee.


As the war continued to drag on Jirech, Arthir, and Soldier had seen that something was now very off about this
war and the fact that Doctor had up and sent tanks to Aldreichs territory with the claim of him being "The threat"

The Mindlings were blabbing on about the war as some said.

"Doctor's war on this Traitor is acceptable! I say send in the armor corp!"

With some protesting and saying.

"No you damn bitch, he's committing fucking mass war crimes! I say
we send in the bomber brigade, and bomb the motherfucker."

Another would say.

"I was promised cake."

And another...

"I WAS PROMISED PIZZA DAMMIT!"

One who seemed to be high on crack said.

"WHAT THE FUCK! IS A PONY!"

And another.

"Maybe we can sit in a circle and talk about our feelings."

Jirech points it out.

"Hey that's a good idea!"

"..."

"..."

Anyways, the council is called into order as the mindlings sat and stared at the three.

"If the council head would like to read the recent progress if you may." Arthir says.

Soldier says.

"Uhh.. This is our first meeting?"

"Eh close enough. (As if I haven't forgor it) Anyways, we had called this council into order
as the first council of the committee established on the accounts of Doctors unprecedented invasion on our
framed friend who practically had nothing to do with this named,
Aldreich. Now you've heard of him either from the war going on now, or the fact that you happened to be a fan or something, I don't know I ain't no spy." Closed Arthir.

"But, as we speak, Doctors troops has been using the central lobe for his surprise attacks on Aldreich's southern flank and as we apparently speak.. He has a huge column on the way to finish the job.." Soldier announced
as the council members whispered before the central lobe city leader speaks out.

"If that is the case? Then what if, Doctor is right?" The Mayor thinks.

Soldier didn't want to answer that question.. But unfortunately the Mindlings is practically the key and the
crippling blow to Doctors war efforts is the keyhole that must be unlocked. But.. He needs proof that Doctors
justification is a hoax.. What a strange mindset but then again fair.

"Then you may allow Doctor's forces to enter your city." Soldier responded.

Jirech and Arthir were a bit concerned with the fact before Soldier finished that statement.

"But if Doctor is wrong, then in accordance with me, Arthir and Jirech will blockade the streets, so mayor?
Wanna test that?" Soldier asked.

"Challenged accepted." Said the Mayor in a swift response shocking everyone in the room.

"Fine. Then I will see you all back in 10 hours, and when I do, expect us to announce immediate occupation
on the neutral cities, unless mayor, you change your mind?" Soldier asked.

"Keeping it, and good luck." The Mindling mayor confidently said.


"Well then that case, council adjourned." Arthir finishes.

At the sound of the Gavel the committee session ends and everyone leaves, Soldier whispers to Jirech.

"Jirech, the fate of our friend and your teacher rest on you now."

"Wait your sending me to get the dirt?" Jirech questioned.

"Please, we must know the truth, Aldreich may have nothing to do with anything evil at all!"

"And what if he is? Then what!" Jirech said.

"Then.. Never speak to him and you let the war progress the way Doctor wants it! But that's until we find
the dirt or not, Just, Good luck." Soldier said as he left the room.

Jirech looked at a picture of Aldreich before folding it, saying to himself.

"I hope your right Soldier.. Because I do not want to be the first to find out..."

At a distance a spy was on the top watching the two the whole time as he wait with his rifle, but he was paid
by someone else as the Mindling mayor walks to the assasin.

"You got the dough." Said the Bacterian rebel

"Just make sure to destroy any evidence pointing towards Aldreichs innocents." Said the Mindling traitor. "Oh, and make it look good."

"Roger that ma'am, the Aldreich guy will pay for imprisoning our leader"
(Read this to understand)

The Mindling mayor leaves as the Bacterian rebel gathered up his buddies and went out to do the dirty
work to keep the war going. In vengeance...


Ponyville


James came back to the base after A brief discussion on random Identification checks and all of that, James entered
the base and the guards went back to staring at nothing but the front of them.

Helinski took this time to sneak by them as he trotted passed them but they seemed to get too suspicious too
easily as they crossed their spears at the front door, so Helinski went far as to use a heavy stick, levitating it
and knocking the soldiers unconscious. And thrown to the ground.

He then flew up with his Alicorn wings on top of the roof as a pair of guards went past under him he then went
inside the hall way of the camp main building before he bumps into prince Blueblood.

"What the? HEY! THIS IS RESTRICTED AR-" Blueblood was interrupted when Helinski grabbed his muzzle, with his hoof, and erase any memory of 30 seconds ago before knocking Blueblood out cold and lay him on a room and shut the door.

Helinski went down the hall as he prepares to make his grand entrance inside to this wretches room.
As he grabs the knob to his enemies room.


James was looking at his paper work that he finally organized before the door swung opened as James quickly
looked up but was grabbed by a aura telekinesis as he was lifted and thrown to a wall.

He struggled as to get this being off of him, throwing books, and even a chandelier and a piano at him.
Wait what?

Anyways James gave up as he was swung to another wall and smashed the front face of it back first
as the being came closer.

"Well, well, well, I told you I'd see you in another world." Said a recognizable voice.

"No... Impossible.. You were arrested! They made sure of it!" James reacted in fear before he can
feel his throat being squeezed by the aura in a dark manner.

"Seems they underestimated me, but that was a walk in a park. Unfortunately for you however,
that was your down fall." Helinski said in a tense voice.

"So what now hm? Kill me? Go ahead, atleast i'll know you'll be hunted down and be killed here." James growled before he then can felt his oxygen cutting off as he was now being chocked he hears Helinski say.

"I have a better idea in mind suited for this type of thing, and it involves exile."

James breath returned as he can feel the eyes watering from the lack of oxygen cut off from him as
he catched his breath.

"Heh. So your gonna put a barrier?" James Joked as he continued to catch his breath
"If that was the case, you know I can-"

"Not that type of exile." Helinski smirked as he then grabbed some type of ray device that he pointed towards James.

"Tell me, my worst enemy, do ponies accept Changelings around here?" Helinski smiled as he pointed the ray towards James.

"NO~!" James was interrupted as he fired the ray at James, transforming him into something else
as the for and hind legs became holed changeling, his face bugified, and tail and mane shorten.

James wasn't a pony now, he was now.. A changeling..

He looked around as he saw him self on a cracked mirror in horror as he had been turned into the enemy of
Equestria.. Then Helinski grabbed a hat from the shelf.

"Shamed it'd had to be this way.. General James bug. But atleast be glad you can serve that bug Queen that
your world refers to as 'chrysalis' but of course the Equestrian army will be severely crippled from your
absence, so in the taken honor since you are the 'commander of army' I bestow myself the honor."

"You son of a bitch." Cursed James.

Helinski transformed into.. James... As the wielding of the unicorn horn he transform into what would be the
evil Alicorn version of James if he was ever evil, and a Alicorn..

"And here's the best perk, there can only be one James and well." Helinski says as he puts the officer
cap on to conceal his unicorn horn. "I think you know where this is going."

Helinski blew his whistle alerting the guards to the room as 4 guards came inside and Helinski, who is
disguised as James, shouts.

"ARREST THIS CHANGELING I'VE BEEN ATTACKED!" Helinski said in a perfect James accent.

James had to get out of here and fast as the four guards charged at him he used his only weapons he has.
Fist. Punching one guard at the exposed chest part he also whispers to every guard he punched.

"Sorry."

As he punched the 2nd guard in the leg and then choked hold the 3rd one to the ground he then breaks
the 4th guard's hind leg disabling the guard ability to walk as he leaped to grab the portable computer and
gunned it to the front gate.

Helinski peeked at the now running Changeling James, smirking.

"Have fun being me."


Blueblood woke up in confusion as he left the room which was not his. He was probably drunk
or something but his mind felt like something left it and that was when a changeling goes passed him with two
guards chasing after him before one guard briefly broke from chase.

"Winter snow? What's going on?" Blueblood asked.

"James had been attacked by a changeling, no time to explain." The Lieutenant explained as he resumed chase.

Blueblood then see's James walking down the hallway in a suspicious smile.. As if something about that changeling
was weird.. Blueblood went on James side and asked.

"Are you alright James?" Blueblood asked.

"Better, but refer to me as commander next time, I don't want to mark you out for ignorance."

"Excuse me? I have you know that I am a general in this base."

"Whatever unicorn, just learn your place or ship out." James said as he speed up outside.

The two things noticed that Blueblood was that one thing.. James would prefer to be called by his name before
his rank. Secondly, he would never be rude and threaten anypony expulsion before, he even believed
at the limits even a single pony can take on a army.

This was the sound of a stranger.. And that changeling has something to do with it..


James was being chased around the base, the guards managed to block his way from east to west and nearly
cornered him just now before he flew up to the sky, but that was before more guards intercepted him as he had
to punch them out of his way to land back on the ground.

He needed to escape and so looking around he ran inside of the warehouse and quickly jammed the wooden
doors with a rod that he bent and twisted as the guards were now trying to break in.
Thank god however that the weapons that he ordered didn't arrive yet or this would have been severely
difficult to escape.

He grabbed 5 sticks of dynamite but found nothing to light them with before finding two stones that were
on the ground so with the only resource that can light fire, he grabbed the two stones and clicked them together
1 to 5 times before finally sparks have spewed out and lit the dynamite as then, he quickly flew
up the roof top that the pegasus guards could have used to get through before the pegasus guard's could get to him
he through the lighted dynamite stick at the ground as the dynamite ignited and exploded and destroyed the
wall that was now collapsing, he quickly landed and got through the destroyed wall as the pegasus guard's
who still had superiority in the sky were attempting to chase him down as in no choice.

James grabbed a pistol he had on him and didn't wanted to use on his guys but Helinski but it was the only
way to get them off of him as he shot in the air.

The pegasus guard broke off engagement for the sake of not getting shot by the pistol rounds being aimed
at them. As James was now inside the forest home free (Ish).

As James escaped Helinski, who was disguised as James, walked to the field where the injured guards,
that got either uppercutted or hoof punched, was not happy at this.

"WHAT TYPE OF GUARDS ARE YOU IF YOU CAN'T GET ONE CHANGELING!" He angerly shouted as the
guards were a bit dishonored.

Helinski then looked up at a chariot that was landing in the field of the destruction as came out of it
was.. Oh god this is bad..


Inside of James mind


During this sudden fraud that just occurred the wielders for once, except for Jirech, got together on the
situation as Soldier and Arthir were sitting at what would usually be a planning table for the 5.. But now it
was just them and Jirech atleast until after this meeting.

Finally one came through the door and that was Aldreich.

The two stared at the war hardened Weidler as he silently sat on where his usual middle spot in the meeting
table.. He seemed.. Scarred..

It wouldn't be a surprise considering having a betrayal slaps your face but this situation that Doctor carried
out was even more.. Distressing, finally Arthir breaks the silence.

"So.. Wanna discuss the situation with James." Arthir asked.

"He can solve his own damn conflict, I have a fucking war outside that I have to attend, good day."
Aldreich exits the room. The doors slammed behind him as the two were but fine with this.

"I hope Jirech is doing well finding the evidence." Soldier said in complete reliance and hope.

"If so you wanna drink to it?" Arthir offered.

"Aye." Soldier tooked up.


Jirech was going past a checkpoint upon entering the now occupied lands of what was once Aldreichs
territory.. Couldn't believe after months since Arthir and Soldiers war, now it's another one and it's even worse
than the other war he'd ever see.

Jirech stops at the first administrative building where it said that Doctor would be at as he climbed
up a ladder up on top of a building as he then grabbed in binoculars and stares inside the building.

Doctor was there all right, he seemed to be talking to some group of mercenaries with a patch
of the symbol of the bacterians..

"What the hey are they doing there?" He asked himself as he took pictures ,with his camera,
for more dirt when he finds the evidence.

He then continued to stare at Doctor before he placed his papers inside some safe, he left the safe and the
Bacterians seemed to have put some type of bomb on the safe and then entered some type of code.

Wait a minute what if that's the evidence that he needed. And if he can acquire that maybe he can finally
figure out the pieces!

And so it begins Jirech sends a text message on expanding the hour to tomorrow which Soldier
responded in acceptance which was good because.

He is breaking in.


Zecora's house


James had been on the run for 30 minutes but it felt like a hour to him, he had a itchy trigger to use his only
weapon on the guards every time he felt safe, but he would snap out of it every time as well just to remind
himself that these guards are his too and they've been stolen from him.

He needed to find help maybe Twilight and her friends could help, or end up being obliterated just without
consequences.

He continued to contemplate every possibility he could try to do as he walked around the forest, the sky
seemed cloudy and from what the reports he read before Helinski barged into his office it was gonna rain today
and the pegasus already started gathering the clouds to start raining which was gonna rain for the entire day
due to the slack yesterday of a harvest complaint.

James continued to plan out what he can do before he bumped into a striped pony that seemed to be carrying
satchels of some potions before they stared eye to eye with each other.

"Uhhh.... Hello.. I am not who you think I am and I-" James was quickly grabbed and was being takened across the forest before entering some type of other tree house before being placed down, he looked around
the room and it seemed to be some type of witch house only.. It's more like conventional medical medicine
and other undiscovered medicines yet to be discovered and also some unconventional stuff that seemed
to be organized.

The door shut and James was pinned to a wall. This seems to be a Zebra but it has a cutie mark? I don't
understand other species besides the Changelings and the griffons along with some Arabians but this.
This was getting strange for him.

The striped pony applied something on his hoof which seemed to made it gasp in surprised.

"Soo... Care to explain what your surprised about?" James asked.

Finally she gave out a answer that James didn't understand (But neither do I) but basically she
is saying.

"You've been transformed by evil"
(Or something which I think Helinski is evil [Duh me])

"So you know then? Well, that's some assurance but can you help me?" James asked.

Again she responded in poetic language.

"I can not but one could." She answered.

"What are you referring to?" James wondered.

James saw the name on brew pot that said property of Zecora, so that was convenient and second
she gave him a face that's telling him think about it, so after a minute to think he realizes that Twilight is the
one to help..

Welp if it ain't revenge that kills him it's probably grudge from the same pony who's brother was manipulated
oh well it's that or death or imprisonment, I don't know I ain't no fucking outlaw in my world.

"Thanks for the help, I really do but can I ask? Can I borrow a cloak?" James asked.

Zecora throws a cloak at his face insisting both yes and get the hell out of here now.


Shining Armor stepped out from the chariot looking around at the destruction of the back wall caused by
the explosion. Amazed to know what happened before fake James came to him while imitating disappointment
at the destruction of the base.

"What happened here?" Shining asked.

Now it was time to make the changeling real James look bad as Helinski responded.

"The Changeling came to the base and attempted to assasinate me, I fought him off and then the guards chased him down before it escaped using dynamite." Fake James responded.

"Huh. So this changeling is skilled and trained, you don't see that everyday, luckily I did came to celebrate your birthday but it seems we will have to postpone that and help you find this changeling."

Wait a minute Helinski would think to himself. Today was my enemies birthday? Interesting now this makes this
revenge even more good because now he ruined that general's day than ever. And maybe he can see him
be captured and maybe executed. The end goal after that is then take out Equestria and tearing it down once
and for all.

It was a severe mistake building this nation itself from the start considering the betrayal gusty did and his own
family. And now it would be a worth wild to destroy the very thing that Star had created...

The troops were assembled by Shining armor as he goes down the row briefing the guards on the target
and the charges of what the so call "changeling" did before dismissing them all to start searching.

Fake James went with group one and Shining with group two. However Blueblood was with Shining but
he's not a problem.


As the guards scramble to search for the changeling in ponyville Blueblood was suspicious at James if
that's really who he is as Blueblood nudged a little at Shining armor before he let Blueblood whisper.

"Something about James is not right." Blueblood said.

"How so?" Shining asked.

"Just now before your arrival he acted strange towards me as if I know something, now obviously I ain't
no Changeling but something about him isn't right?" Blueblood noticed as he peeked at James.

"It might be strange but that's probably because he's mad for being attacked on his birthday I mean I would
to for instance Chrysalis ruining my perfect day with Cadence." Shining reasoned.

"You might be right.. But something just doesn't feel right with him, I just can't get my hooves on it.." Blueblood wondered, as they now entered the town square of Ponyville


Twilights house


Twilights house was as decorated as it could for a party, the girls had a part to decorate because..
Lets just say they were divided on the fact that they do not know what style that James preferred.

Like Seriously it's like that one SpongeBob episode where everyone had a piece to decorate on.

Anyways, Twilight decorated her side in the library part as a EUP guard decoration.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy with whatever you weirdly called a combination of both peace and wonderbolt
style on that one sided wall.

Pinkie Pie just being Pinkie pie on over decorating everything in the living room,
and Rarity being classy with her side with formal ways of a military.

Oh and Applejack literally brought out James and his southern side (Since he is pure southerner)

Now after some minutes or a hour they finished the decorations when it started raining outside right on
schedule, but in some light hopes that they don't have to tear out because of some weeks worth of rain being
poured from Ponyville to Canterlot.

A knock was heard on door which made the girls relieved.

"Spike can you answer the door?" Twilight Asked.

"Sure, but what if it's James?" Spike questioned.

"STALL HIM!" Pinkie shouted in a built up excitement.

"It's not a surprise party Pinkie.." Twilight said as she points out everywhere in the room that is literally divided into 4 sides like seriously why the hell would you throw a surprise party in a divided room.

"Right..." Pinkie said smirking.

Spike grabbed the door knob and slightly opened the door to only see a changeling with yellow eyes with
a usual changeling body with no holes and the wings seemed straight and yellow but. Spike shut the door
the changeling and went into a noticeable freak out mode.

"NOT JAMES! CHANGELING!!!" Spike shouted as grabbed on the door as if he was blocking
it.

the 5 thought that Spike was pulling a prank on them so Twilight came to the door herself and opened and well
enough explained as the changeling waved with a fearing grin Twilight's horn lit.


Well shit. He would said to himself as he now stand on deaths door, either be quick or die but of course Twilight's
magic grabbed a hold of him as he was lifted up on the celling as if she was about to make some final
blow he had to quickly say it.

But Twilight interrupted what he was about to say when she asked her own question.

"Who else is here?!" She Exclaimed as Applejack and Rainbow Dash came to assistance.

James was about to speak again before once again asked another question.

"WHO SENT YOU HERE?! HOW DID YOU KNOW WE ARE HERE?! AND... How did your 'Queen' Crystalist like
that defeat we did in Canterlot?!" Rainbow Dash asked in a angry own tone.

James yet again was about to open his mouth before Applejack interrupted. >:C

"Its's Chry-sal-is, but I do have to ask. HOW IN TARNATION DID YOU FOUND US HERE?!" Applejack shouted in his face when he finally blew up.

"FOR FUCKING SAKES I AM NO CHANEGLING!!!!! FOR THE LOVE OF THE ALMIGHTY LET SOMEONE SPEAK
DEAR LORD!" James Shouted as the three were a bit shocked at this sudden explosion of words
but Twilight actually gotten the recognition of James.

"James?? You were a changeling?!" Twilight said in here surprise.

"HELL NAH!" James said in a annoyed tone. "I WAS MINDING MY OWN BUISNESS WHEN A GUY I KNEWHAPPENED TO SHOW UP AND THROW ME ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THE-"

"Wait? What are you referin' to?" Applejack Inferred.

Twilight finally noticed something in her memories, that cloaked unicorn, he happened to be heading to the base
but. She felt a lot about him off so she turned to James.

"Does it happened to be some Unicorn?" She asked.

"Uhhh.... Close.. But no." James said.

"Then who!" Rainbow Dash Exclaimed.

"Well first of all I need to be off the ceiling and second of all you got to get me inside because the same
"unicorn" of interest is happened to have copied me and now he leads the entire Equestrian army..."

Twilight was a bit tilted on that but Applejack was quick to be both skeptical but trusting Rainbow Dash
on the other hand.

"How do we know not to trust you?" Rainbow Dash skeptically said.

"If I was lying then you'd all be fighting right now but I am not attacking because I am not a bug who
lives in a hive in the middle of nowhere. So do you really want to test that?!" He aggravated.

"I think he's telling the truth yall, call it a hunch but something tells me he is all what he seemed to be saying, I mean Twilight's witness to the Unicorn in a cloak heading to his base while also him being attacked by the
same cloaked Unicorn or whatever this fella is, maybe we should trust him." Applejack voted.

"I say we don't! so there." Rainbow Dash also voted.

"Well then I guess you both have a tie and also I am still on the ceiling.. It's Twilights call on this one now." James pointed.

"You ain't the one to talk here buddy!" Rainbow Dash Stared. Until Twilight made her choice.

"Applejack, I trust your choice and Rainbow Dash I also believe there might be a chance that he might not
seem to be trustworthy atleast in that form that is. So I choose Applejack's logic." Twilight said as she
lowers James on the ground while Rainbow Dash got close to his face.

"Just so you know, I will be watching your every move." Rainbow Dash informed.

"I think I know not to underestimate you." James acknowledged.

The four got inside to see the house becoming from a total birthday party to a total military installation of barricades
with one being a literal fort castle armed with a cannon and Rarity hugging on Spike with her dear life and Fluttershy
hiding in a exposed spot.

"Uhhh..."

"It's alright to come out." Twilight assured.

"But that's a changeling! And I don't like it's hissing sounds." Fluttershy coward.

"And the form of it! Though that one seems to be smooth.. Odd." Rarity Suspected.

"What about you Pinkie?" Applejack asked.

"I prefer forts! Plus I ain't afraid of no changeling, as long as they love cake. DO YOU LOVE CAKE!?" Pinkie Pie said eye to eye with James.

"Well hell yea." He said.

"Oh ok HE'S NOT A CHANGELING EVERYPONY!" Pinkie pie shouted as Fluttershy finally got out of her spot and got close with James.

"Well that's a relief then, because you have a lot of explaining to do." Twilight stared at James.

"Yea! So what is up with this guy?" Rainbow Dash asked while still watching him.

"Ok.. So it's all like this, the cloaked 'unicorn' that Twilight seemed to saw was following me and some how
he got through the guards and I don't know what but when he entered my room he revealed himself to be a former
threat I had fought in the past."

"Wait? But that doesn't add up.." Twilight noticed

"Pardon me?" James asked.

"You never mentioned enemies before."

"Not to mention the weird thingy ma bob you call a tank"

"That weird contraption you saved us with, at Crystal city."

"Those guys with the awesome cool gear they used against the everfree!"

"And then there was you sister you never told us about"

"OH! OH! THAT COOL FLYING BIRD THAT WENT ZOOOOOOM!! AND MAKE OUR EARS POP! I wonder
if your hiding aliens!"

James was about to panic, they actually noticed something with him but obviously he should have known
and now what's left is this computer on him to go off and say.

Wait the computer is flashing.. As the computer flashed it automatically activates in the form of general Shaq in the
middle Twilights room as Twilight her friends looked up at the weird creature in the holographic transmission.

"Is it on finally?" Shaq asked the scientist before they pointed and then he turned around.

"General James I-- wait... Uhhh..." Shaq was a bit voiceless..

"James... What. Is. That." Twilight spelled it out.

"Uhh... Ok so those things you saw I can explain on that if you don't mind that general Shaq."

"Meh go ahead I don't care anymore General just do what you need to do."
He said as he grabbed a chair from behind and sat down. (What a chad despite the fact that you
exposed yourself..)

"GENERAL!!??!?!?" The Girls and even spike shouted in Unison.

"Yea... So Equestria happened to founded itself in a unofficial alliance with the nation I used to live and
served with in another world called earth with the nation that's supporting
Equestria; the United Federation.."

"The United What??" Applejack asked.

"Yea.. So I may be a alien to yall but I can say it's the type that actually helps to say the least, but this place
was in need of help.."

"But then... The lies? WHAT ELSE DO YOU KNOW THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT?!"
Twilight shouted as he was now pinned on the wall before Shaq inappropriately stepped in.

"I wouldn't be so close to him princess. You could trigger Echo 5." Shaq warned

"Shut it Shaq you know you can't authorize that without my authorization." James Scolded.

"Fine." He acknowledged.

"What is that may I asked?" Rarity asked sternly.

"That's a code in case I was.. Harmed. Intended for emergency situations but my situation is Echo 5 material
WHICH I WON'T AUTHORIZE BY THE WAY SHAQ!" James shouted.

"Hey don't look at me I was saving your skin you know." offended Shaq.

"Well.. Atleast it answers all those questions but James.. Why hide it from us?" Applejack asked.

"Because I fear I would have been ordered back.. And well to admit back in
my world I was alone, plus my sister and I were separate and thinking here was where I can
settle and maybe, just maybe create the peace and become that peace.. I guess you all know that
now but I will say I couldn't believe the stuff you went through so far despite the other
times I wasn't there when you needed help but then again you got it in control at the end
whether with or without my help. And well being experienced in true torture in my world I think
of this world as a haven for peace.." James admitted.

The girls could just forget James at this point but by the events going by so quick he had been through enough
it was best to give it a rest and Twilight knew that too it was like that one phrase " Never judge a book by it's
cover " and it seemed they've been judging that cover the whole time..

Twilight placed her hoof on him with a apologetic face, weird that she was touching a changeling but that's because he
wasn't a changeling, he was a friend. But one question remains why did he (Shaq) called. And that's what Twilight wanted to know as she walked toward the hologram of Shaq.

"Why exactly did you call in the first place?" Twilight asked.

"Well.. That was to alert him that Helinski had escaped but it seems I was too late." Shaq explained.

"Who's Helinski?" Twilight asked James.

"A Alicorn.." James confessed.

"......."


Inside James mind


The guards left the building after locking up the doors, they were soldiers that had to be reassigned because
of the ongoing war that continued to the tear the east city.

As the guards left Jirech was on the roof with a sledge hammer and a ski mask on him while being fully suited
with black. He grabs the hammer and slams it into the roof which inevitably made him go down with the entire
roof as he fell through the painful wall below him he atleast was in the floor he needed to be.

He quickly tried to open the safe but it was locked and it needed a pass code, so he started searching the whole
office room searching for the pass code.

He tried the Drawer and digged all the way to the bottom, no luck.
He then tried one or two important desks, no luck either.
He tries the walls with the pictures as he smashes every portrait of Doctor only to find
yet nothing of the pass code.

He wanted to give up but that evidence is in there and he was gonna get it no matter what the cost
wha- oh wait there it was.

"Hah! Found it!" excited Jirech.

He found it on top of the rug... Oh great lord. Anyways, Jirech typed in the pass code with
the code 01134. However he wondered something as he looked upside down. It spelt hello..

"Well that's just anti-climatic.." He said to himself.

He opened the safe and then grabbed the red lonely file that was by itself, opening it, it says. Wait what.

"Gotcha??"

Jirech turned around before he was quickly grabbed by not only guards but the Bacterian mercenaries as
they threw him on the ground and then a conversation could be heard before he hears gun shots which
he can hear 2 bodies fall on the ground before being picked up by the Bacterian mercs.

"Reckon we do with him boss?" Asked one Merc.

"I heard that old crook wants to execute the "threats" lets put him up since he was associated with the
"threat" hehehe." Said the boss.

"Good idea lets do it." Said the Merc.

The group was now taking Jirech. It's now both a kidnapping and a execution and he's about to see Doctor
once again for that matter...


Outside of James mind, Twilights house.


It now has been 10 minutes and Twilight had continued to have a existential crisis over the fact that James
nemesis happened to be a Alicorn in some strange reasons.

Of course James could calm her down but when he attempted to do that once she told him to just let her
be.

Finally though when she got it out of her system the girls were relieved.

"So how in tarnation is this guy a Alicorn?" Applejack asked.

"I don't know.. It's strange to how he even recognized his surroundings if I'm not mistaken, but if
it's one thing he's not good.."

"But I thought Alicornhood is rewarded through good deeds!" Rarity Wondered.

"Well to put that in perspective, wasn't Celestia and Luna Alicorn's at birth?" Spike wondered.

"I mean they have to have been if they lived this long." Rarity answered.

"Maybe they can help us and James figure that out." Applejack suggested.

"Well not as a changeling they can't remember the wedding incident?" Twilight reminded.

The girls agreed to that in a sort of a negative way.

"Uhuh.. Why are yall negative about that again?" James asked.

The girls kinda cringed considering that they mistook Twilight's suspicion as superstition that was basically
Chrysalis plan to divide and conquer. Perfect strategy but loads of flaws.

"Well I on the other hand had fought those buggy lunatics with out allies when I tried to capture Helinski..
Of course before he teleported me into this whole world of course." James Boasted.

"It's ironic really, what are the chances of a war on another planet and a battle in Canterlot?"
Rarity pointed out.

"Very odd, but then again why would fate have him be in this world?" Twilight wondered.

"Maybe to learn perhaps?" James claimed.

"But learn about what is the question, why would fate want you here if most problems are solved by us
and some solved by you?" Twilight continued to wonder.

"What if you were here by purpose to learn that some things are accomplished even without your command or maybe to build trust, or maybe.." Twilight started to think, a general who'd been at a war, a lunatic
who's after general for a downfall nopony knows about, and then the potential anger that may have
been built up in him.. Maybe it was not trust of command. But simply..

"Grudge." Twilight realized. "It might be because of your grudge.."

"How does that work? I have no grudges." James denied.

"Denial!" Pinkie pointed.

Suddenly the door was knocked as Twilight walked towards the door and opened it, it was her
brother Shining armor and he was well, armored.

"Shining?!" Twilight surprised.

"Twili!" Joyed Shining.

"What's happening and why are you armored?" Twilight asked.

"We've been looking for a changeling around Ponyville, so far we haven't got around in finding it yet but
soon we will." Shining Explained until he caught a glimpse of him.

"I'm a he dammit." Aggravated James.

"WHAT THE-"

Shining was quickly dragged inside as Blueblood witnessed it before he too was dragged inside.

"Why am I Tied up!"

"Huh, and I thought I was the only one suspicious." Blueblood said.

"Sorry, but we can't have you shouting out in the sky screaming Changeling without knowing Whats going
on." Twilight explained.

"But that's a changeling!" Shining armor Yelled.

"NO HE IS NOT!" Said the girls in unison.

"What?? If he's not a changeling then who is he?" Shining asked.

"If I can butt in finally.. I'm James."

"What? But if your James then who is the James that I was just with then! Explain that!" Annoyed Shining.

"That is-"

Twilight was interrupted when the door was slammed opened as guards entered the house with spear and everything
as they circled the so call 'changeling' however James wasn't going down without a fight as he head first charged
into the guard battalion before beaten down by Helinski, AKA Not James, Helinski bashed him down as the
guards kept the girls out and Shining and Blueblood untied. However Blueblood was charging for the fake one
before he was also blocked.

Shining was a bit confused on who to believe but the fake James already made his choice.

"Thank you Captain Armor, General Blueblood, some random 6 girls I don't know, I got my
prize you can go back to your lives while I take this one to be tried in Canterlot, until then my friends"

The Guards threw the injured James into the prison cart as the rain was still pounding on the guards who are
about to take the prisoner to Canterlot, as the two guards were about the shut the door Helinski halted
them to stop.

"A little privacy if you may." Said Helinski as the guard's left the two.

"After tonight, nopony will remember your name, but of course it won't just be you tonight who will be forgotten, want to know why?" Helinski asked.

He closely went into James ear and whispered.

"Celestia is next." He said as he leaned back as he signaled the guards to shut the doors.

As the prison cart was now leaving Ponyville Twilight and her friends attempted to stop him before they were
too late as the pegasus guards were now taking off.

"WE CAN'T REACH CANTERLOT IN TIME!" Applejack shouted as the rain was getting too tense to hear.

"Don't worry, we will." Twilight said.

"We are coming with you." Shining said as he and Blueblood side to side in determined faces.

"I thought you didn't believe us?" Fluttershy said.

"Yea? You insisted to capture him, what give you the change of heart." Rainbow dash scolded.

"Atleast let me help, I can try to make it up you.. I'm sorry Twilight." Apologized Armor.

"Meh not sorry, I already sided with the fact that James wasn't a bug, but I'm still with you." Blueblood sided.

"Don't apologize to me Shining. Show him, you apologize." She said in a determined face.

The group had their elements once again on them since the everfree incident that may have been resolved
but of course they probably made a deal or something, I don't know I don't wield these things people.

They started making their way to Canterlot by using the train in the nick of time. Just hope they get there or
this damn story would end here with his death.


Inside of James mind


Jirech was now walking on what remained of a street as he can hear gun rifles banging on the ground as it seemed
to be other soldiers who had fought with Aldreich infront of him.

He can hear the ear piercing screeches of jets going above him along with the flames and the crying of the mindlings
as they lost their livelihoods. And himself might just lose his life..

He was now walking up the steps of what feels like a stage before he was forced to kneel he can hear a speech.

"MIEN FELLOWS! TODAT IS A SPECIAL DAY FOR ZE MIND OF JAMES AS WE COMMENCE
A NEW CEREMONY TO COMMEMORATE OUR VICTORIES AGAINST THE THREAT! THE
THREAT YOU MAY ASK IS THE VERY THING THATSOUGHT'S TO DESTROY EVERYTHING IN IT'S SIGHT
AND EVEN DESTROY THE OUTSIDE WORLD WITH IT'S TERROR! WELL NO MORE AS I DEMONSTRATE THE EXECUTIONS!" Doctor shouted as some clapping
could be heard before a pistol was shot in the air and the claps intensified.

"LETS US START!" Shouted Doctor as Jirech was now being shoved with a bag still over his head
as he can barely see anything.

Doctor unveiled the bag before he was shocked to see what he almost was about to do..

"Mien gott.. Jirech what the hell are you doing her-"

Doctor was interrupted by a rocket that exploded between them, Jirech was knocked out before he can feel a hand
on him.

After what seemed to be 5 minutes he opened his eyes up again and found himself coughing as he got up.

"Where am I?" He said as he can see other injured Warlings and Mindlings laying in the beds.

"Are you alright?" Asked Aldreich as he was leaning against the corner.

"Aldreich.. Is Doctor?"

"Fine. Apparently, but as for you why are you here.." Aldreich asked.

"I was looking for evidence.. I was trying to prove that you were innocent, I didn't believed that you were
evil!" Concerned Jirech..

"I know I ain't what Doctor calls "The threat" but if evidence is what you want, then here take this."

Aldreich hands him the file that read 001, it kept all records of why Doctor was going after Aldreich, apparently
Aldreich was getting too suspicious on Doctor the same way Doctor was suspicious with him, then there
was the time that he was going through scientist stuff looking a a cup only he was cussed out.
Then the real reason for the invasion was a argument that blew up recently when Aldreich found out about
something on Doctor which turned into a heated hatred fight that was later broke up by Soldier before it
went fist fighting..

And now it was a full blown war and Jirech now has the evidence.

"Where did you get this??" Jirech asked.

"The same place you looked, it seemed it was under the rug but
after they tooked you out of the building it was rigged to explode and by the time
I got out of there and saved you it collapsed, they thought the evidence was in the building."
Aldreich explained.

"Aldreich.. Thank you, you can still come to the safe zone if you want." Jirech insisted.

"No thanks, if it's one thing it's fighting for a war I didn't want but somehow started by a argument.
Take care pal." Aldreich said smiling.

Jirech went to the window and slid down the ladder as he quickly ran off into the smoke of the destroyed
neighborhood as Aldreich was in sorrow in the destruction that a old friend had made.. Over
a simple problem that was waiting to be released to the outside world.. Now time tells if it'll pounce
by the time the war ends or at it's peek...


Canterlot castle...


Celestia and Luna were sitting on there thrones when they heard the news about a changeling attack
on James, waiting for the changeling that attacked that was captured by James Celestia had a follow up message
from Twilight that confirms it but.. It also had different view that claimed that the changeling was not a changeling,
Celestia was very much up for games but by the sound of the message it seemed too serious but
when she scrolled the bottom it even said don't trust James..

Now she had been posted to date about James lately by Twilight but the message seemed dire sounding in
it's tone it was a bit urgent.

Finally however, the doors opened with entering it was James and his usual aurora of unstable magic but
so was the changeling he brought with him..

Celestia went on her usual Canterlotian face as she stepped near the changeling and surprisingly it
was silent.

"What brought you and your kind here to Canterlot?" Celestia asked, not forgetting about the marriage incident.

The Changeling (AKA Real James) answered to that to the most lightest thing to say.

"First. I don't know why. And second I am not a changeling." James replied.

"Oh please your majesty, it seemed the changeling is delusional, it's probably a trick." Scoffed
Fake James.

Luna came to her sisters side with curiosity at her peak when she can clearly feel something was off
about both the changeling and James. And Celestia is feeling the same so she asked one question.

"Who got married on the day Canterlot was attacked." Celestia asked.

James (The real) was eyed widened, Celestia knows but for the kick of it.. He likes to hear what his enemy
has to say.

"U-u-uhhh... I. Did??" Fake James answered.

Finally James answered with the real answer in the formal way.

"If I may answer princess Celestia, Princess Luna, It was Shining Armor and Cadenza Mi Amor,
also known to be now as the crystal, royal family."

Twilight was right and the message is a warning, Celestia was in relief but as for the other James who didn't
know who got married, the real James would know because Luna had actually seen him at the day when the
post marriage party was going on and Luna was the one who even personally asked the two guards at the
party to celebrate with James. (Hell yea nostalgia)

Celestia and Luna ignited their horns and pointed at James, at first he didn't know what the hell was going on
before he was lifted by the two and immediately the wretched horn on his head disappeared, the bug
wings became the normal pegasus wings he had, the changeling body went back to his
original yellow-tan color, and his tail and mane went back to it's brown and tan striped self, and cutie
mark returned from nothing to the 5 stars, and eyes returned to normal.

James was back boy.

As James was back on the ground he turned to his imposter.

"You are seriously going to wish you never came here!" James threatened.

The guards pointed their spears at the fake James as James grabbed the hat with his hoof and placed it on himself.
It revealed the horn on top of his head which Celestia recognized the energy now..

Celestia was in a little sorrow before she stared at the imposter.

"It's been a long time... Brother." Celestia said.

"Wait what." James stared at Celestia before she nodded.

"So it has.." Said Helinski as he revealed himself to his true form as the white Alicorn with the blue mane and tail with the wing having a tip of blue at the edges and the horn also.

Luna could say something but she didn't had the words, and I don't think James has any neither.

"Why have you returned here after all these years." Celestia Queried.

"I wonder the same, sister.. Why have YOU! Rule these lands that I have created, fought, and formed?" Helinski raged.

"I did it to protect the ponies in the past. The same ponies you betrayed!"
Celestia Scolded in anger.

"Don't pull that stunt again, you had betrayed me at the last second,
let alone allowed Starswirl to have me chased down with his sad excuse of a Gang!" Helinski Growled.

"You wouldn't know considering that 'gang' you call are his friends,
and they were not hunting you down!"Celestia defended.

"SPARE ME THE DAMN FRIENDSHIP LESSON!
YOU NEVER KNEW FRIENDSHIP IN THE FIRST PLACE ESPECIALLY THE TIME YOU NEVER BOTHER
SPENDING TIME WITH OUR SISTER WHO HAPPENED TO BE STANDING HERE ALL BLEAK AND DARK!
JUST LIKE A EMO!" Helinski Shouted.

"THAT'S ENOUGH STAR!" Celestia shouted with her Royal Canterlot Voice.

James was a bit stiff on what he just heard since he was a bit use to hearing Celestia being quiet and not
commanding but now hearing that and he already placed her in the list of not to get in her bad
side but.. As he looked up Helinski, who happened to be Celestia and Luna's sibling and a damn russian
tyrant. Helinski just snapped.

"Never mention that name again.. Star is dead. I am the perfection of him! YOU ARE TO NOT MENTION
THAT NAME TO ME!" Helinski shouted while firing a warning shot.

Everyone dodged the shot before it disintegrated as the guards pressed the spears on Helinski before he
blasted the two guards on the sides. As the guards hit the wall the entrance to the throne room were
slammed opened as Twilight and her friends came out.

James couldn't see a better day to see them come out but of course he had to of course get it cleared
as Twilight was getting a bit danger close to him.

"I am James! Do not shoot me with the elements!" James warned.

Twilight backed down in relief atleast knowing that Celestia got the letter in time, but as for the stranger
Twilight was shocked seeing the form of James true enemy.

"Is that.." Twilight Asked.

"Yep.. It's Helinski." James responded.

"Well, that's nice that atleast one had actually used my name.
Then again you were the one who tried to over throw me in the war." Helinski gloated.

"What war." Luna questioned.

Helinski chuckled at the question. How much he liked to share to his sisters the lives he had takened and he
was glad to show them.

"Let me show you all then." He said as the entire throne room was clouded as the Mane 6, Celestia and Luna, and Shining and Blueblood gather in the middle as James was surrounded himself before spasms
of energy left his head as it presented the memories of both Helinski and James. As James was grabbed
down by Twilight before he was helped kept balance with himself Helinski explains it all.

"It all started with my rise and preparation. I clearly had it all, a huge nation with land and resources at
my disposal and a might army mightier than all armies in the world! Or so I thought. But it didn't
matter, the war was just beauty in a portrait. So I like to show you that portrait now actually."

As Helinski finished the clouds turned into a spasm of memories that was shown as fearsome weapons on treads
roll by a city destroyed by Artillary and the chaos ridden land that no pony had ever seen before in their lives..
And they thought the banishment of the Crystal empire was over kill but it seemed it was not in that world.

James felt sorrow but that was when he was shown the thing that only Luna knew about... The Fire bombing
of Warsaw.. The sirens ranged out of the city as everypony in the circle can hear the ear pirecing
screeches of sirens as what came next where the engines of the planes that were flying overhead on the city.
James looked on and even wondered off aimlessly as Twilight catched up with him only to see a tank that James
was staring at. Twilight can hear the shouts from the person on the tank.

"~WE NEED TO GET FASTER HURRY UP DAMMIT~!!"

But then the whistling can be heard as Twilight, thinking that the bombs was going to hit them, flared
up her shield only to find the bomb phased through it and exploded.

Twilight looked around as the clouds formed into a new image of a inflamed city as Twilight turned toward
James to see him continuing to stare into what seemed to be rubble and debris as she sees the same creature
digging in the pile of debris before lifting a body that she overheard said.

"Never give up, he'd do the same if it was you." She'd heard.

The clouds finally faded as Helinski landed on the ground smirking at the experience as the mane
6 were together against Helinski.

Celestia was both horrified at what her brother had done.. She turned towards him in rage.

"HOW DARE YOU INVADE ONES PLANET! AND KILL MILLIONS THAT DIDN'T DESERVED!"
She Shouted.

"What? You don't like the welcome back gift? I assumed you'd loved it
since you forced me to exile in the planet in the first place!"
Helinski Retaliated.

"But killing millions of lives over a grudge! IS NOT JUSTFIABLE!"
Celestia continued to angerly shout.

"Your a monster!" Twilight said was they now aim the elements at him.

"So was she! Whoever you are. And I suggest you turn your back from her before she betrays you too!" Helinski warned.

James was still stunned and even blankly enraged at what he saw as he continued to hear the argument
continue as he grabbed his pistol on his side enough was enough.

He turned at Helinski who was still shouting at his sister and his sisters former student as James went in for
the pounce. He charged at Helinski as they both head towards the window of Twilight sparkle becoming the
fourth Alicorn as they both smashed through the window while James was punching the hell out of Helinski.

Everypony was shocked about this as they went to the shattered window seeing it ensue into a hoof to hoof
fight.

"Follow me! I know a quick way down there!" Shining said as the entire group were now heading down to the court yard of the castle side.


*Enter fist fight here*

James slammed Helinski down first on the hard concrete as he punched him in the face from the left,
right and uppercutted him.

James grabbed Helinski by the mane and threw him on the walls as he pinned him down and punched him
more in the face in a fit of rage while yelling.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU KILLED EVERYONE I KNEW!"

James the threw him on the concrete ground again as the storm rains continued to pound on him and Helinski and the
area around as Helinski tossed James down using the Alicorn magic as he threw James at the edge.

James fooled Helinski and flew and punched Helinski in the cheek at the max speed as Helinski
was pushed towards the wall.

The two were now on a stand off.

James was bleeding from the hoof and the chest, from the window shatter. While Helinski was bleeding
from the face and the chest while also in the hoof.

The two resumed fighting as James struck the final punched that stunned and paralyzed Helinski
as he pinned Helinski on the ground he shown rage to the max to the point that it broke Helinski to the point
that he was silent as if he was embracing his death.

James had him on the ropes but he wasn't done yet, he then pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Helinski's
face as he had his hoof on the trigger to end this sicko's life.. But it seems Harmony had other plans.

The Mane 6 and royalty arrived to the scene where James was just about to finish off Helinski.

"JAMES DON'T! IT'S NOT WORTH IT!" Twilight shouted in the loud rain as the thunder roared in the skies.

James didn't listen except his mind which was telling him that Helinski must no longer exist. But seeing
him in a injured state, he was vulnerable and helpless. No pony wouldn't want to help him and yet. Just
yet Twilight is sticking up for this? This Lunatic?

The Storm was getting rapid and while Twilights friend's won't forgive this guy Twilight would?

"James.. You have to listen! All my life I've seen what revenge can do to other species and taking ones life
will not bring no pony back! If you kill him, you are no better than all the villians combined that I and my friends
had fought." Twilight said sternly.

James could make a choice.. Betray trust for revenge, or turn this lunatic in and forget it.. The choice was
obvious for him.

He turned to Twilight as the rain was getting a little calm as he looked back at his former enemy, who killed
his father's best friend and mentor and leader, killed millions with a push of a nuclear button, betrayed
what seemed to be his only family he had, and coming here to exact revenge that seems that He himself
was exacting on Helinski.. Ironic but unironic. Because he wasn't him.

He retracted his pistol away from Helinski's face as the guards slowly paced towards Helinski and then cuffed
him in as they tooked him away as Helinski was curious but was bleeding so his curiosity was shattered.

James was sitting in the rain with his hoof on top of his weapon before he hoisted it but he wept. The tears
of the unbearable events that he went through during the war. The tears he held back for all those years were
now finally released.. His mentor.. Dead. His commanding officer he served close and impressed.. Dead..
And now being close to the person responsible for their deaths.. He spared him, not because of what Twilight
said but because something his father advised him.. "Forgive and forget."

As he continued to weep though he was surrounded by his new friends as they comforted him while also
convinced him to get out of the rain. But he wasn't done with Helinski yet. In fact he has a alternative way for
redemption.


James mind: Central Lobe city


It was a quiet night inside of James mind after a little strong yet noticeable wind that blasted through the memory
lobe, the Mindlings were mind their buisness before they hear a emergency broadcast.

"Attention people of Central lobe city, after a review and decision from the recent formed committee
the anti-war committee, the council had made the decree of martial law in the following cities.
The Following cities include.

Central Lobe city.

Whats the point of my life city that is very long so I should keep going.

Stania city.

My little city.

Pony city.

Stragetic town.

Outpostville.

And finally wellbrig town."

Meanwhile the the Mindlings were walking all aimlessly as they started hoarding and panic buying the
food and other stuff they need before they hear one Mindling shout.

"HERE THEY COME!!"

The tanks marked with the symbols of Soldier, Arthir, and Jirech's army symbols as they drove into town
with troops on each carrier preparing to block the road to keep Doctors forces out from entering inside of Aldreichs
territory. The LAV's and the armored cars had blocked the main road way as troops exited from the tanks
they rode in before the tanks came to a complete stop.

Anti-Aircraft vehicles arrived to the city square as the triplocopters landed with troops and tanks as they rolled
and marched out of the copter with weapons prepared.

The cities, towns, outpost, and villages up along the so call "Freedom" route were now under control of the
peace committee, however the job wasn't done yet.

The Tanks arrived to mayor of Central Lobe city as troops entered the building while arresting the Bacterian
mercenaries that were hired to defend the place but seemed to fell into pressure by the tanks.

The troops entered the room with Soldier Leading them.

"Madam, you are hereby under arrest for the attempted murder of Jirech and treason against the mind along with conspiring with the enemy."

"Well played soldier.." She said as the troops booked her in cuffs.

She was now arrested including the bacterians and other traitors that had arisen against James because
this was not only a martial law to keep Doctor out from the freedom route but a coup against those who believed
that Doctor was the "good guy" well now they will learn the hard way.

In jail.


The Court room the day after the rain


The court was in session for the case of the Equestrian self defense vs Helinski, (A.K.A.) Star.
Celestia, Luna, and Twilight were witnessing the trial going on as Twilight watched with guilt while
Celestia was a bit in sorrow for that day that drove her brother to hiding to the other world..

The court had dragged on for a good hour as one side attempted to defend the other while the other
side offended. The court trial was in the favor of the Equestrian self defense forces as Helinski had saw himself
being executed in dignity. How wrong would be.

A messenger came through the court doors after going through a heavy amount of security as the messenger
quietly walked to the judges stand. He read the message before folding the paper and whispered to the messenger.

"Are you sure?" Asked the Judge.

The Messenger nodded rapidly before he saluted and left the room in a quiet pace before the princesses
the judge announce.

"In the consideration of the head commander of the Equestrian self defense forces, a verdict already came in for Helinski. The verdict is the count of a pardon through mentorship until satisfaction to mentor in question,
sentence starts when Mr. Helinski enters ponyville, this court is adjourned."

At the strike of the gavel everypony was talking to each other in surprise, and Celestia and Luna was shocked about
this too. They didn't thought that someone would adopt him into mentorship. Twilight however thought
about it as saw James walk towards Helinski.

The two were silent before finally James spoke.

"We may have a hate for each other and a grudge, and a ambition, but if you have a father like mine he
was very forgiving but impatient." James inquired.

"Huh? So after all that you forgive me then?? Why? When you could have killed me for the benefit of my sister!" Helinski Argued.

"Because I learned that sometimes you just got to try it first hand before well.? I'm still working on it but
cut me some slack this is my first time." James said.

"Besides, after this I think I should plan on finding a room first." James continued.

"Huh. Well this went totally ironic.. You were just about to kill me though? Why not now??" Helinski
Contemplated.

"I think you know the point by now." James answered.

The two walked out of the court room talking to each other as Celestia and Luna stared in both visible and
strange confusion with mixed emotions.

"Wait. But? Huh. What?" Luna was simply mixed.

Celestia was confused but she started to catch on to suspect Twilight had something to with it.

"Did you happen to force him to do that?" Celestia asked in a little chuckle.

"Uh.. No.. But I think he's catching on his true lesson." Twilight smiled.

The two sisters had a rough day. First was the fact of the changeling, a fight, and now the return of their brother
that's yet to be reformed. But Twilight nudged on Celestia a little before Celestia gave up on those worries and instead
be glad that they're lost sibling has returned from the other world. (Atleast Helinski's didn't eat rainbows :D)

"By the way did we ever threw that party for James?"
