"So, how are we going to do this? Do we just get everyone’s attention and shout out an alien, robot dragon and hybrid snake-spider from another dimension are staying here?"

"I think we have enough attention as it is." Luna said looking around at the crowd of ponies.

"Then you should start, Celestia."

"How did-"

He held up his hand silencing her. "I've been watching, remember?"

"We will discuss that later." She narrowed her eyes before looking to the crowd.

"My little ponies! Please go to the center of the town, for we have a matter of great urgency! " Celestia yelled.

They all shared glances before walking past the others to the center of the town.

Celestia quickly teleported them all in front of the crowd that had gathered by a small patch of grass. Alexander looked around still not used to teleportation; it still confused him to the point of marking it down as "one of the things for later" area in his brain.

Celestia got to the front of the group where Alexander was standing in a standard military pose.

"Now, I know you all must be confused, some even scared of our... visitor here. But I assure you he is peaceful. Him and his companions had accidentally been sent here, but not by magic. It seems Alexander here, comes from a world where magic does not exist. So, there is no way right now for him to return."

"Actually, if I rigged an anti-matter transporter up and redirect the flow of tachyons, I could make, in theory, an inter-dimensional bridge. Too bad I don't know how." Alexander said to everyone’s shock.

"There are others?" Asked a mare in the back with a bright orange mane.

"Yes, three others. Rex, Cinnamon, and the man called... what did he call himself again Twilight?" The princess looked to her faithful student.

"Weird Al Yankovic."

"Yes, Mr. Yankovic is also here. Unfortunately he's been lost. For now, we will talk about Alexander’s-"

"How did you know about cinnamon?" Alexander asked finally moving.

"I searched your mind."

His fists clenched and his arms bent back slightly.

"That's a good one. It really is, because for a moment I thought you just said you read my mind."

"I did, unfortunately I cannot look into memories without permission."

"You what!?" He yelled flaring his metal wings.

"I read your mind to make sure you were not a threat. I did not expect you to give them out freely."

"The last time anyone got in my head I nearly killed an entire city! And you thought that I wouldn't tell you anything about myself!?"

"What did you expect me to do!? Let some murderer walk freely in my land!?" She yelled back turning to him.

"You listen here you bitch!" The other ponies gasped. "I had no choice! They were going to destroy an entire fucking city if I hadn't have stopped them! They would have killed millions and then kept going on and on!"

"That is no excuse for murder!" She yelled her horn already alight.

"If you wanted to gain my trust then you’ve just lost it! I am a man of patience, but there is only so much I can take before I snap! And you do not want to see me snap." He finished slowly.

"Do you think you are any threat to me? I control the sun and any other force here."

"Yet, you had to get me to take out some fucker wearing spandex? Tell me, do you know what it's like to feel helpless? To feel weak? To feel as if the entire universe hates you!?"

"I wouldn't." She said.

"I do, and let me tell you, it will drive anyone to insanity. It made me nearly end it all myself, three times."

"What do you mean end it all?"

"I tried to kill myself, because I was a man out of his time. Back in my time, I was the strongest person in existence, when I woke up from cryo I was in a world where normal people could beat me. I felt like a part of me had died, and so I saw it fit for the rest of me to go along with it."

"What would it matter if you weren’t the strongest?"

"It matters because that is what made me, me. It was the only thing that I had any comfort to next to Rex and Cinnamon... especially after my best friend was killed in the war." He lowered his arms.

Her face quickly turned to sorrow before she bent her head down. "Alexander, I’m sorry. I should have asked you first, I did not know of the distress that I had caused you."

He gave a sigh rolling his shoulders. "It's alright, you didn't know. You saw a potential threat to your people and needed to make sure it was a threat that either needed to be exterminated or kept under watch. I will let you go into my memories; to show them all that I have no ill intentions, but I will only let you see what I want you to see."

She nodded and summoned a mirror to view his memories. Her horn started to glow and soon the mirror took on a landscape of complete darkness.

He took off his helmet revealing a smile. "That's when I first dive bombed from space. And also when my back snapped out of place for the first time."

It showed two bipedal beings in similar armor to his only they were white with orange visors. The picture quickly turned to a door and soon a large ball of blue. He had just jumped out of whatever he was in and now going through the atmosphere of the planet.

Soon a large silver figure came into view. It was bigger than an Ursa Major, it had a large barrel sticking out from the top and two arms lined with smaller barrels. Just as it raised its two arms a flash of silver, grey and black filled the mirror.

"If you’re wondering what happened, I crashed into it." He said jovially.

The picture faded and became more sinister, the sky grew red, there were small pools of what looked like blood and in the middle of it was a small child.

With a large spike sticking out of her chest.

"I-It's alright, M-Mr. Alex. You d-did you're best." The little child spoke spitting up blood.

The spike retracted and the picture turned into one of nightmares. There was a giant creature, with tentacles sticking out from the sides all ending in a blade, a large tooth filled mouth, blood dripping off it from almost every corner and a strange being on a smaller tentacle that looked like it was made of some red stone.

Before the picture could do anything a loud bang rang through the air and the mirror shattered. Everyone watching stood their looking at Alexander with a furious expression on his face pointing a small object at where the mirror once stood.

"Why did you do that for?" Rarity whispered.

"There are some things that should never be seen. Ever."

"What was that thing?" Celestia asked.

"A nightmare I took care of, permanently."

"You killed that!?" Twilight yelled.

"He had killed an entire planet turning them into nightmarish monsters hell-bent on murder. Yeah I killed him, and I enjoyed it. That thing, took the lives of billions of innocent people, with no remorse, no sympathy, no regret, no fear, only anger to those who stood in his way."

"H-How could you like killing?" Fluttershy whispered looking at the fragments.

"How could I not have liked killing that? There’s a saying that no one deserves to die, but he proved them wrong."

"What else have you done?" Celestia asked lighting her horn again.

"Anything as bad as that? Nothing. I think it might be time I introduced myself, wouldn't you agree?"

"I think that would be wise. You may."

He turned to the crowd of frightened ponies. "Listen, before I begin I want to say that I will not kill any of you or destroy your homes, if I wanted to do so I could have in seconds, but I don’t. As for who I am, I am King Alexander of Velrain. I controlled a peaceful country, or atleast tried to make it peaceful. I am not a monster to be afraid of; I’m still trying to comprehend what's going on."

The Ponies for the most part calmed down, just enough to stop sweating.

"Alexander, if you are to stay, we need to discuss how to make it less awkward for you." Celestia said smiling nervously.

"And how can it be any more awkward for a super soldier in a world full of talking and flying magical ponies possibly get weirder?" He sarcastically.

"By making you a full citizen."

"If that will calm them down, I’ll go for anything."

She smiled before her horn started to glow brighter and brighter. Before long even Alexander couldn't look at it, before it shot out a small ball of light hitting him in the chest.

He barely got his helmet on before his armor started to vibrate and glow.

"What did you-oh god!"

He fell to his knees holding his chest.

"What did you do!? Dammit it hurts!"

Celestia looked shocked and scared.

"I-I don't know what's wrong! It was a simple spell!"

"Oh for the love of god make it stop! My insides are on fire!"

He dragged his gauntlets across his helmet making a loud screech. His gauntlets had turned into the shape of hooves and now his boots were following. His back made a sound like snapping trees, his helmet narrowed making a muzzle and a small hole formed at the top to let out a long silver horn. His wings molded themselves into a different shape covering a new pair of organic wings.

With one last yell he fell to the ground letting his helmet slide off. Everyone gasped, he was a full gown alicorn.

He slowly stood up falling a few times before getting his balance. He put a hoof up to his head and his eyes shot open.

He stared at his hooves with a slack jaw and wide eyes before he started to laugh.

"This is great! I can already think of all the new adventures I can do now!"

"You're not concerned that you just changed species?" Twilight asked.

"Your right!" He ran over to the pile of glass and tried to pick up a large piece that only shattered when he tried to pick it up. "Could I get some help?

"Let me, your majesty." Celestia said smiling at how childish he had become.

He looked at himself in the piece of mirror before sighing in relief.

"Whew, for a second I was afraid my goatee was gone."

"Really? You’re Goatee? That is what you were worried about?" Twilight huffed.

"I happen to like what hair I have on my face, you just can't appreciate what you have because your covered in hair." He said crossing his fore-hooves.

"So are you." She pointed out.

"But mines well kept. Yours is lavender."

"What's wrong with lavender?" She asked insulted.

"Lavender is the color of war."

"Of course it is, how silly of me." She rolled her eyes.

"Speaking of war," He began making all the ponies shake slightly. "I'm surprised no one has taken my weapons."

"I almost forgot, thank you" Celestia said lighting her horn up again.

His guns slid out of their holsters, his grenades detached from his belt and the weapons on his back. Including his war-hammer.

He quickly grabbed onto his hammer with his teeth, pulling back with every ounce of strength.

"Alexander, release it. I need to keep all of your weapons for now."

"No! You don't understand, this hammer need's to stay within a hundred feet of me!"

"And why is that?"

"Otherwise it'll send out a shock wave with the force of a two-megaton bomb! That's why!"

"And you walk around with that on your back?"

"I'm the only one who can use it. So, yes I am."

"As long as you do not use it for malicious purposes you may keep it."

She released her grip on his hammer and he happily put it back on his back.

"So, can I leave and explore now?" He asked looking at her smiling.

She just stared before snapping out of it. "Yes, you may. As long as one of the Element's accompanies you."

He just laughed before stepping out of his armor. Every mare gasped, every female pegasai's wings went out even Celestia could help but feel her wings shoot open momentarily before she pulled them in blushing.

He stood even taller than Celestia, he was extremely muscled, every breathe he took pushed out a wall of muscle before receding, his legs were almost twice the size of Big Mac's and his mane was cut short while still waving around like fire. His coat was a bronze orange with a white stipe running along his side. His horn and hooves were the only evidence of silver on him.

"Well what do you think?" He asked the crowd lifting his left front leg in a heroic pose.

All the mares present fell like dominoes. Even Celestia and the Element's fell to the ground. Leaving only Luna to stand there still bored.

"I’ve seen better."
