Stallion & Chorus: Whenever we're in grave danger, You braved to bring us home Your deeds will not be Forgotten Your Tale becomes Legend My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Mystic History --------------------------------------------- Chapter 6: The Fall of Qin Emperor "Months after months has passed since the Battle of Heritage has begun. Prince Shine has accomplish many achievements, thus earning his father's respect and love. His younger brother - Prince Spoiled Runt barely make one while his supporters leaving his side and join Prince Shine's. As his popularity grows, ponies of Ma love and support him. Thus, the Emperor has made his final decision..." Late Spring, 150 A.E. At the Emperor's private chamber, Emperor Qin Wang Di was writing down on his document. And at the same time, he was coughing heavily yet badly. His eyes have turned red while his face has turned more paler and sickly. Prime Minister Con Excel and Seekcurse were bowing down before him. The eunuch has brought the bowl of black soup here before the Emperor. "Where are Chief Commander and his brother?" Emperor Qin Wang Di asked curiously before coughed heavily, "I have important announcement to make..." "They're still occupied with their mission, your majesty," Prime Minister Excel Con reported, "They're almost... Complete with the project." Seekcurse hummed suspiciously, "Perhaps, you should tell us of what's this really about." "I've made my final decision." Emperor Qin Wang Di said calmly yet sickly, "Prince Shine will be my heir and successor." "WHAT?!" Seekcurse and Prime Minister Excel Con exclaimed in shock and surprise. Emperor Qin Wang Di nodded, "Yes. My eldest son has achieved so many accomplishment. Military, ministers and ponies are looking up to him. And above all, my kingdom is in safe hoof." He sighed in shame and disappointment, "But my deepest regret is that I would not live much long to see it. My death is approaching." "Yes. It's truly pitiful..." Seekcurse said in pretension calmly, "If only there's elixir to help you recover." Prime Minister Excel Con nodded, "I agree. If the elixir possessed immortality potion, he may live long and stay invincible as the Alicorns as a true Mystic Pony." Emperor Qin Wang Di thought carefully, "Actually, that wasn't a bad idea." He cleared his throat as he began writing down on his document, "Pass my order now! I want every soldier and every peasant to find the elixir, or at least a doctor make one for me. Or better, ask my concubines about it since they're the God Ponies! I don't care of how or where. Find it for me!" He sighed, "And please, tell my son about him being my heir and successor to the throne." "As you wish, your majesty," Prime Minister Excel Con responded calmly. Seekcurse nodded as he brought the black soup before the Emperor, "Please, your majesty, take some soup. It will heal you. We will let everyone know about it." Emperor Qin Wang Di nodded while gestured his officials to leave. Both Prime Minister Excel Con and Seekcurse left the private chamber at once. They both continued walking down the hallway. "Our plan is falling apart," Prime Minister Excel Con said in concern, "We've lost." "On contrary, Prime Minister," Seekcurse smirked, "It goes well. We just need to adapt the new strategy to deal with the situation once and for all." "How?" "My plan has been set in motion. The Emperor grow weaker and sicker when he keeps drinking black soup while we send the same item and correct message to the prince. And at the end, both of them will die. Spoiled Runt will take their place." "You don't mean-?! Have you lost your mind?! It's a serious crime against the empire! We only agree to ensure Prince Spoiled Runt to be heir, not murder the Emperor!" "I'd never say it's gonna be simple and easy especially the West Ponies and military officers standing in our way. But this is the only way." Prime Minister Excel Con sighed in annoyance, "Fine. Let's say we agree to follow your plan. How do we assassinate him and his heir without some witnesses and interruption?!" "It's already in progress," Seekcurse said in amusement, causing Prime Minister look surprise and shock. He whispered to his ally, "The medicine will take good care of him." "I see. And what of Prince Shine? Elixir? And Princesses?" "Don't worry. I've got plans. This will be a perfect warning and victory to us for good. Now, if you excuse me, Prime Minister, I have a message to deliver." --------------------------------------------- May, 150 A.E. The workers have finished their works on building and creating billions of Terracotta Warriors. The soldiers then loaded and moved the statues through the secret tunnels to the Emperor's Sacred Mausoleum. The project is almost complete. Twilight Sparkle and her friends were checking up and making sure the project went well. Ben Valorheart, Nyx, Spike and Phobos were looking after the babies. Though they're good at babysitting the babies, Azure Phoenix's babies giving them hard time especially Ben Valorheart, who was dealing with Strikespell. Strikespell giggled happily as he fired magical blasts around of his surroundings within the hut. Ben Valorheart screamed in fear as he was running around while holding the baby tight with him. He escaped it. Ben Valorheart sighed as he turned and glared at Strikespell, "Okay, seriously, you really need stop doing that, Strikespell! I sure wish you hadn't blow my face up" Strikespell hiccupped as he fired a blast on Ben Valorheart's face, causing himself to have black face and cough a bit, "This is not what I meant. I thought your adult self is the worse to deal with." "Oh yeah?! Try this guy!" Spike exclaimed in concern as he and Phobos screamed in fear. Wingblade were swinging the dragons around and around. He screamed, "Stop it, Wing! I mean it! Cut it out now!" Phobos screamed, "This is why I hate babysitting!" "They aren't so bad," Nyx giggled happily as she was rocking both babies Notepoem and Hope Light. The babies pulled her face tight before letting it go, causing her yelped in pain. She groaned, "I wish they hadn't done that. Honestly, Pound and Pumpkin are better than you guys are." Megan giggled as she approached and held Strikespell, "Well, babysitting the babies like them is never have been easy. I know that because Molly is the worse baby I deal with." "Very funny, sis..." Molly snarled in annoyance as she patted both Notepoem and Hope Light, "I'm not worse as these babies." "Yeah, right," Danny remarked while rolled his eyes. He was looking at Terracotta Warrior, "Gotta admit it. Even though these guys are rocks, but they're awesome!" "Yeah!" Rainbow Dash nodded in agreement as she and Applejack were pushing the cargo of Terracotta Warriors, "Twi and AJ got the point about it. These guys are awesome!" Rarity smiled as she painted the Terracotta Warriors, "And of course, they're beautiful. How could anypony ignore the beauty of colors." "It's lovely," Fluttershy remarked before yelped in fear as she looked at the Terracotta Soldier, "But scary, even with colors." "Rarity, you do realize that they'll get rust over years," Applejack asked dryly. Pinkie Pie nodded in agreement, "Yeah! Over two thousand years! Just like China! They all lose their colors and heads!" Rarity groaned but smiled, "Well, but this work of art is one thing I'd never forget!" "Project Mausoleum is almost complete," Han Zero said calmly as he turned and looked at Twilight Sparkle and her friends, "If not for you and your friends' help and ideas, we would have lost billions of best troopers. And Prince Shine will have more supporters and loyalists on his side. He will be the Emperor in no time!" Prince Shine smiled, "You're right. Father has been please with the results. My dream will finally come true..." Azure Phoenix nodded in agreement, "Yes. And thank you for bringing my children to me. Who knows what happen to them or Royal Sisters?" "The Emperor would have started the war against the West again?" Wolverine Thrust remarked dryly and sarcastically. Everyone gave him a dry glare. He groaned, "I'm giving the point. Nothing more, nothing less." "Well, either way, we're glad to help. Imagine Seekcurse come here to brag that he will beat us again with his new plan, I have no doubt he wants revenge," Twilight Sparkle said happily. She then spotted Seekcurse and his eunuchs escorting Royal Sisters. She groaned, "Speak of the Tarturus..." Wolverine Thrust and his generals turned to the front as they greeted both Royal Sisters and the eunuchs. The Royal Sisters approached the generals. "You may rise," Princess Celestia said calmly, "And congratulation as well. You've done well. The Emperor has approve you, Prince Shine." Princess Luna nodded in agreement, "Indeed, you have finally make as the heir and successor to him and the throne." Prince Shine gasped in relief while his generals, soldiers and workers cheered wildly and happily for him. Twilight Sparkle and her friends smiled happily in seeing the event. "Yes. Congratulation, generals and Prince Shine. He will be no doubt to become an Emperor sooner or later," Seekcurse said sarcastically. He approached Han Zero while smiling slyly as he whispered, "As the prince takes the throne, the emperor and all of his privacy will be in mausoleum forever." "What?!" Han Zero demanded in anger. He snarled as he grabbed Seekcurse up, "What did you say?!" Seekcurse smirked, "You've heard me, old friend. When the emperor died, he will be buried along with the concubines including Princess Luna. That means you will never see her because she will die!" Seekcurse then laughed in amusement, causing Han Zero groaned in anger and attacked him. Everyone was in shock and confuse. Han Zero continued punching and kicking Seekcurse hard and fierce for few times. Wolverine Thrust, Azure Phoenix and Princess Luna shouted in fear and frantically of stopping Han Zero from attacking Seekcurse. They held him back. "Han! Stop!" Princess Luna exclaimed in concern. Wolverine Thrust hissed, "What the hell are you doing?!" "Bastard! I'll kill you!" Han Zero exclaimed in anger, "This is between you and me alone, not others! Why must you bring them to our fight?! Why?! I always thought of you my friend and brother no matter how hard we faced. Look at yourself, you've becoming what the West has prophesied. You're becoming a monster to our home and Luna's!" "Monster? I'm a monster?" Seekcurse asked dryly as he spitted the blood out. He turned and gave a glare at Han Zero, "It was you! You're the monster!" "WHAT?!" "You've heard me! You chose the West over our kingdom! You chose weakness over strength! You chose her over your ponies and our friendship! And now, you'll get the consequence you will suffer! Death! And believe me, I will make sure that happen! I will not shed tears or regret of my action and decision! I did for this kingdom!" "Seekcurse..." Han Zero said in shock before groaned in anger, "Not gonna happen as long I'm still standing, bastard! The West and East will always to be together as friends just like us. And I love Luna too. And I won't let anything bad happen to her!" Seekcurse huffed, "We'll see how long that lasts, my old friend. Your love-interest will tell you what the Emperor wanted now since she knows something that can help him. Enjoy your lovely day as you can. I'm taking my leave now." Seekcurse and his eunuchs turned and left the site at once. Everyone was still in shock and confuse of what has happen. Han Zero remained firm and anger as he glared at his enemy. Princess Luna held and patted him on his shoulder gently. "What was that about?" Prince Shine asked in concern. Han Zero hissed while narrowed his eyes in anger, "Seekcurse has gone too far now..." --------------------------------------------- At the royal camp, Han Zero explained his confrontation and anger with Seekcurse to Prince Shine and others. They were in deep shock and concern of what they just heard especially Twilight Sparkle and her friends. Han Zero stood and left the camp as he was not in mood. Princess Luna followed him at once. "So, it is true, is it?" Megan asked in concern while rocking Strikespell. Holding Wingblade on his back, Danny hissed, "Burying Celly and Luna underground for years with that dead Emperor?! That's so unfair!" "Yeah! He can't do that!" Molly exclaimed in upset while holding both Notepoem and Hope Light. The babies cried loudly. She yelped, "Sorry, guys!" "There's nothing we can do," Princess Celestia said in upset as she levitated and rocked her babies gently while feeding them with milk bottles. She sighed while looking down, "Unless the elixir is found, my sister and I were about to meet our fate." "Elixir?" Prince Shine asked in surprise and concern, "What does my father want with it?" "Your father believed that it gives him an immortality and power to survive for thousand years," Princess Celestia said in concern, "And therefore, he has sent orders across the land to find the elixir or doctors to make one. And I doubt it's easy." "What about you? You're an Alicorn?" Azure Phoenix asked curiously, "I heard the legend. It is said that a powerful Alicorn like you give gifted power to the pony in becoming one of them." "That maybe true, Azure. But this kind of power can only be given to the worthy chosen one. I doubt the Emperor is the one. My father and mother will not agree to it." "I see. Forgive of my bluntness. I guess I'm worry about you." "Don't worry about me. I'm more worry about my home and my sister if the Emperor died. She will never see Han again." Wolverine Thrust hummed in concern, "Either way, our only hope to ensure your freedom is that we need the elixir. Or maybe..." "I could convince my father's mind," Prince Shine suggested calmly, "Father chose me as his successor and heir. He must listen to my ideas. And hopefully, that will secure their freedom. If not, then elixir is the only hope to prevent them from buried." Princess Celestia sighed, "I hope it works..." Twilight Sparkle and her friends were concern and uneasy about it. They all exited the camp to have their own private chat. "Twilight, correct me if I'm wrong," Applejack said in concern, "We can't let the Emperor have the elixir. He could do something terrible to Equestria with his Alicorn magic especially changing the history like this one." Rarity nodded, "Applejack's right, darling. The present timeline we used to know won't be the same. Remember the time you told us about Qin Dynasty's timeline?" "That was very scary and unbearable!" Fluttershy said in concern and worry. "I know what you mean," Twilight Sparkle said in concern before sighed, "It's not very happy and good time for Equestria when Qin Dynasty conquered the Equestria. We can't let that happen." Rainbow Dash scoffed, "And I'd say forget about letting the Emperor getting the elixir!" "That's good one except..." Pinkie Pie said in concern, "What about the Princesses, Azure Phoenix and Han Zero? If the Emperor died, princess will be buried with him! If he lives, they will be his concubines forever while never seen their lovers again! Or worst - they're all gonna die and repeat Season 5 Episode 25 again!" Everyone looked at her oddly. She looked surprise and confuse, "What?! I'm telling you the truth." Twilight Sparkle sighed, "Either way, we have to make sure one thing - we have to bring down Seekcurse, Excel Con and Spoiled Runt before they could rise to power, even though the Emperor has to die including two brothers." "Especially Luna turned into Nightmare Moon..." Fluttershy said in concern, "Sometimes being in history is crueler and meaner than reading it." "I know, Fluttershy. But that's how it goes," Applejack said unhappily. She then noticed something, "Say, where're the others?" --------------------------------------------- Han Zero and Princess Luna were at the camp. They were on the camp bed. They were discussing and talking like others had. He sighed as he looked down in upset while she patted him. "I'm sorry, Luna," Han Zero said in upset, "This time, I don't think I can protect you especially the Emperor's death is approaching. Our time together is always so short." Princess Luna sighed, "I know what you mean. It's so unfair. I wish there was another way." "Can't you give him the immortality or something?" "I do not possessed that kind of power, my love. And I doubt my family will do that either because it is very forbidden and they will only choose the worthy one." "I guess the Emperor is out of picture?" Princess Luna giggled, "Indeed, general." She then kissed Han Zero's lips before nuzzled Han Zero gently, "Even though it's short for us, it's one moment I'm not gonna forget." Han Zero nodded, "Yeah. I felt the same way too. Let's hope that everything will be fine at the end especially your freedom." "You know I dream of us being together and make our family where no rules or nopony bother us. Free from everything and responsibilities." "I too share the same feeling, princess. I won't regret for not meeting you. I'll fight to death to ensure your safety and freedom." "Don't say that. Live for me. That's all I ask." "I hope I can make that promise come true. I'll live for you." "I believe in you, Han because I love you..." And just before Han Zero could do anything, Princess Luna pushed him to the bed. She climbed on top of him. She pushed a passionate kiss on him, who returned to her. They both continued kissing and nuzzled each other passionately and gently. Outside of the camp's walls, Ben Valorheart saw everything while Phobos covered both Spike's and Nyx's eyes. Ben Valorheart sighed, "I'm sorry, Aunt Luna. He's not gonna make it." "Why would you say that?" Phobos asked. "Because when the Qin found the location of elixir," Ben Valorheart explained, "Han will die at the valley, keeping the escorts bringing the elixir back to the emperor. But all fail." "But Seekcurse won't win? Right?" Nyx asked in concern. Spike nodded, "Yeah. I mean if he's in power, three kingdom won't exist! Right?" Ben Valorheart nodded, "Let's hope it's the same as we read on history books especially Han's sacrifice..." ---------- "As days have passed, the Emperor of Qin Dynasty grew weaker and sicker than before. The Imperial Army scoured across the land in search of the elixir, hoping to save and heal their leaders. Doctors and healers were ordered to create the medicine. However, none have succeeded." Over weeks have passed, Imperial Qin Army have scoured across the land in search of elixir while doctors and healers were working and making it. And so far, they could not. The Emperor continued grow sickly. "A month later, news have reached the Imperial Palace that they have found the immortality elixir, which was found on northwest of Dragon Desert. And now the Emperor has set course to the area, accompanied by his three sons, prime minister, his five trusted generals, two ministers and eunuch." A month later, the messenger arrived and informed the Emperor with urgent news. He was in shock yet relief, along with his generals and ministers. He decided to get it personally. He was accompanied by his sons, Wolverine Thrust, Han Zero, Azure Phoenix, Claw Tiger and Noble Guild, Prime Minister Excel Con and Seekcurse. They all headed straight to the Dragon Desert where they met up with its leaders - General Constantine and General Fire Storm. "However, as they arrived the land, a group of unknown rebellion has lay a trap for them, preventing them from retrieving the elixir..." ---------------------------- June 150 A.E. A lone soldier riding his Dragon as he was heading straight to the Qin Camp, where more than thousands of troops were guarding it. He dismounted his ride as he headed straight to the big tent. Tired and exhausted from his riding, the soldier nearly fell down. Brave Tiger and Anger helped him up as they took him straight to the Emperor's camp. The rest of troops wondered and curious of what has happened to him. Twilight Sparkle and her friends were with the Royal Sisters and William Siblings. They watched the event. Twilight Sparkle sighed, "The time has come. This is where the Emperor dies and the beginning of Three Kingdoms." "Right, which would lead on to more bucking mess, the separation when Luna become Nightmare Moon, and more." Rainbow remarks with a grunt. "Unless we find a way, Grandma and Great Aunt Luna will be buried alive." Nyx said in fear for her relatives. "And we still gotta help Han." "Yeah, Luna would be a mess if he gets killed off, that's for sure." Phobos remarks dryly to his friend. "Twilight, do you think we can stop and save Han in time? Maybe we can-!" Ben begins to speak, having a thought. If they could, the heroes could save Han and Luna wouldn't have to fear a life of living alone. Twilight however interrupts Ben as she said, "Ben, you know we can't change the history. If we do it, there's no telling what damages we have inflicted on it." "But isn't this a good chance to stop Aunt Luna from becoming Nightmare Moon?" "If we do that, all of us never meet. Spike, Nyx and even Phobos were never be with us." Ben was about to argue but paused as he thought of what she said. He sighed in defeat. "Yeah, I don't wanna not exist. It stinks not being here." Nyx said to her father seriously while nuzzling Twilight. "I hate separating a family." "Right, and I would still be in an egg, being with who knows what." Spike said grimly. Although he hates to agree, it's best not to do anything to help Han and Luna out. "Man, this stinks..." Ben groans out in despair. This is one of the gang's big chances to make a difference and they can't do anything! Twilight Sparkle sighed, "I know, Ben. I know..." "What are you guys talking about?" Danny ask, couldn't help but overhearing the conversation. Luckily, he didn't hear all of it but the boy is still puzzled by what his new friends are talking about. "Nothing!" Everyone exclaims quickly and in alarm. Danny gave an odd look then shakes his head. "Man, you guys are weird..." Within the Emperor's Camp, he was very sick as he continuously coughing out loud. His sons, generals and ministers were waiting outside of his chamber while wondering if he was alright. Dr. Phoenix emerged and approached them with his sad and concern looks. "Father, how is he?" Azure ask his father seriously. Wolverine Thrust ask in concern, fearing the worst, "Will he be alright?" "Please, tell us he'll be fine." Prince Shine pleads to the doctor. If anything were to happen to his father... Dr Phoenix sighed, "His sickness is getting worse. There's nothing I can do. Unless the elixir is here, he cannot be saved." Anger and Brave Tiger entered the camp while holding the soldier up. Anger & Brave Tiger spoke out at once to everyone, "Cousin! Father! We've got report!" Wolverine Thrust and his allies turned to both Anger and Brave Tiger, who nodded firmly. They moved aside as the soldier bowed down firmly. Wolverine Thrust and his allies approached and received the latest report. Soldier grunted in pain, "Chief Commander, we have found the elixir! But during our travelling back to camp, we were ambushed by rebels! The Dragon Riders were trapped! They requested reinforcement now!" Wolverine Thrust nodded as he spoke seriously, "Prepare the troops now! We'll leave soon!" Azure Phoenix nodded while exclaiming, "Leave now!" Maybe if the elixir, more than one life can be saved today! Brave Tiger and Anger nodded as they exited the camp at once. The rest of generals headed straight to the emperor's bed chamber. Prince Shine and Mild Good remained with their father. Prince Spoiled Runt, Prime Minister Excel Con and Seekcurse moved away from the place. Dr. Phoenix noticed it as he sneaked towards them while hidden as he was eavesdropping on his enemies. "His time is almost up. You'd better hope that plan of yours really work. We are taking the biggest gambit we ever had." Excel Con hisses sternly to Seekcurse. They must not mess this up. Prince Spoiled Runt nodded in agreement as he added, "Yeah. And not to mention, my brother will be on next in line. I will cast aside and never have my own enjoyment again..." "Do not worry. It will work. Both will have unexpected accidents. One that no one knows the truth." Seekcurse said with a cruel smile. If all goes well, then the kingdom is as good as his...and all of his enemies will perish under his wrath, Dr. Phoenix looked shock and concern as he quickly sneak away. He approached Wolverine Thrust and his allies as he whispered to them of his reports. The generals were in shock yet angered. Wolverine Thrust groaned furiously, "So, it was them? I'm gonna-!" "No! Don't! If they do this, no one will support them. Leave some behind to watch the event." Azure assures Wolverine Thrust quickly. If the bad guys make their move, at least they will have no one to support them and it will do more harm to the villains than good. "Azure's right. We don't have the proof to kill them. Let them make their move. Someone will stop this and tell the rest of it." Han said in agreement. At the present moment, the allies have no proof of what Seekcurse and his allies are doing. They must let it play out. Wolverine Thrust nodded in understanding and agreement. His generals nodded in agreement. Prince Spoiled Runt, Excel Con and Seekcurse arrived at the scene as well. They turned to the bed chamber as they bowed down in respect. "Your majesty! The elixir is on its way here but it was ambushed by the enemies. I request that you allow me and my brave soldiers to go now." Wolverine Thrust said to Prince Spoiled Run. He is hiding a look of disgust that the prince is willing to commit treachery to get what he wants. "Chief Commander, don't be foolish! Your duty is to guard and ensure the Emperor's safety! Nothing more and nothing less!" Seekcurse exclaims sternly to Wolverine Thrust. Secretly however, the villain knew that Wolverine Thrust's interference could ruin everything he works for. Han Zero groaned, "Are you saying that you rather let emperor died than retrieving the elixir that can save him? Was this your intention or mistaken?" Seekcurse yelped, "Uh... Yes, it was mistaken of me. But still..." "You are right. I and Noble Guild will remain behind but my brother, Azure Phoenix and Claw Tiger will go and escort the Dragon Riders and elixir back. We await your majesty's decree!" Wolverine Thrust exclaims to the Emperor, hoping for his answer. The Emperor coughed while muttered painfully and sickly. Prince Shine approached and listened to his father's words carefully while nodded in understanding. Prince Shine turned and looked at his generals. "By my father's words and as your heir, you may proceed and retrieve the elixir!" Prince Shine exclaims to the generals, much to their hope. "However, you cannot take too many troops! We fear the emperor's safety." Excel Con exclaim quickly. He can't let the plan be jeopardized in any way! Han Zero nodded as he spoke, "Understood. I will take Azure Phoenix's, Claw Tiger's and mine only. The rest will remain here under Wolverine Thrust's!" "Now, there's no argument. We shall leave at once!" Wolverine Thrust exclaims in determination. No more delays, they must get the elixir now! Wolverine Thrust and his generals quickly leave the camp at once while leaving princes and ministers behind. "Should I?" Excel Con whispered to Seekcurse anxiously. Better make the move now while the opportunity's there. "Go, sir. I will take of the eldest one." Seekcurse whispered right back in determination. The time for the big move is upon them. This could be Seekcurse's last chance! ------------- Wolverine Thrust and his generals meet up at the Royal Sisters' camp. The generals were bidding farewells to their friends. Wolverine Thrust sighed, "Take care, my little brother." "I will, big brother." Han Zero said seriously. He turned to Princess Luna and hugged her in comfort. "Don't worry. I'll be back." "Please, come back alive. I can't bear to think of losing you." Luna whispered to her secret love. She wouldn't know what to do if anything were to happen to Han. Han Zero departed from hugging speaking, "You won't. If I can get the elixir, it will prevent you and your sister from buried." "I agree. We will succeed." Azure said in agreement. Soon, the lovers will be reunited. Hopefully, saving the emperor's life may get him to let the concubines go. "Succeed or not, come back alive and bring Han back too." Celestia said to Azure seriously. She hate for her own love to be gone forever. It could kill her or worst in the years to come! "I will. You have my word, my beloved." Han Zero kissed Luna on the hoof as he spoke, "Everything will be fine. I promised you, Luna." Royal Sisters nodded in understanding and agreement. Han Zero, Azure Phoenix and Claw Tiger left the group. Wolverine Thrust turned and have a chat with his allies about the plans to expose Seekcurse and his accomplices for their plot. Three generals headed to the open field where 300 of soldiers gathered. Three of them climbed on the stage and stood before them. Han Zero sighed, "Imperial Soldiers of Qin Dynasty! You all have served your country valiantly and firmly for the rest of your life. So, what I'm asking will not guarantee our safety and coming back alive. If any of soldiers chooses to walk out, do it now." As Han Zero waited for the answer, soldiers remained firm and strong while refused to walk away. Brave Tiger cleared his throat as he spoke up, "With all due respect, Commander; we've been fighting side by side for a long time. We might as well die together as one." Anger nodded in agreement. He said, "Indeed. If these rebels think they can overwhelm us, they better think twice." "My son is right. We will stand by your side till the end, commander. We will not retreat until our objective is complete." Claw Tiger said, pounding a hoof onto his chest. It wouldn't be right to leave him when they are needed. "And I make the promise to her to keep and bring you back alive." Azure Phoenix then turned to the soldiers, expecting opinions from them, "Anyone else?!" "We will fight for you! No surrender! No retreat!" The Imperial Soldier called out in determination. They will fight to the last of their breath! Han Zero was surprise and shock of their answers but he was relieved. He unsheathed and took his sword out while raised it up high. The soldiers silenced. "From this point onward, we are entering uncharted territory where the rebels have ambushed and trapped our allies. My orders are rescue them and escort them back here, including the elixir. We will take 200 best soldiers including my generals. Move out!" Han Zero ordered out, ending the meeting. Imperial Soldiers cheered wildly and firmly. Han Zero and his generals mounted on their dragon rides as they headed off at once. They all charged straight out of the camp's entrance. They all headed straight to rescue their allies. Unknown to them, a certain group is nearby, watching. "There, they go. You ready?" Ben ask the others in determination. "More than anything, Ben!" Rainbow exclaims, eager for some action and some flank kicking. Nothing is keeping this mare down! "Me too!" Pinkie spoke up, bouncing up and down anxiously. "Count me in. I just hope the rest can expose Seekcurse and his pals for trying to murder the emperor and his son." Applejack said with a nod. She can only hope that the others can expose what Seekcurse is up to in time. "It will work. Let's go now!" Ben said as he nodded to the others. Ben and his team headed off at once and followed Han Zero and his army. ------------------ At the open field of desert, the army of Dragon Riders were surrounded and trapped by unknown rebels, who worn the Imperial Soldiers' armors but in dark purple. "Curses! We're trapped!" Fire Storm exclaims in concern and fury. There's no chance of escape fort them this time! "I wonder who are they yet they worn the Imperial Armors." Decker Reaper said suspiciously. He wonders why these rebels are wearing the Imperial Armors but is not their allies. "I don't believe they're our allies either." Justice Tackle said seriously. Constantine spoke with a thought, "I agree. It's clearly they're preventing us from reaching to rendezvous point. They want the Emperor to die." On top of mountain, there was a pony who looked like Boris worn the commanding officer's armor and red cape was watching the event. Noticing the falcon flying towards him, he held his hoof up in getting its attention. The falcon landed on it. He took a message from its claws' message holder. He read it carefully before smirked. He turned and glared at his enemies. "This is Colonel Arrowhead of Lord Excel Con! By order of the Prime Minister, handover the elixir now!" Arrowhead demanded wickedly to the group. Fire Storm huffed, "Over our dead bodies, traitors! I will pass the elixir to Commander Han alone only. And no one else!" Constantine nodded while agreeing, "Agree! The one who won our hearts is Lady Rarity from Prince Shine's supports!" "Prime Minister was ordered by the Emperor himself! Lay down your weapons!" Arrowhead ordered, narrowing his eyes. Of course, that is nothing more than a lie in hopes to spread doubts along the Dragon Riders. Justice Tackle took and held a spear while yelling, "Lay down this, asshole!" With his might, Justice Tackle threw a spear straight to the mountain. Arrowhead armed with his sword in ready to repel it, but instead it hit and pierce his soldier to death while rolling down from the mountain. "Dragon Riders, assume your formation!" Fire Storm ordered his allies. It's time for a battle obviously! Dragon Rider cheered and their ride roared as they formed themselves in large circle for defense while the foot, light and heavy soldiers readied themselves in attack position. "Rebel scums! Come and get it!" Justice Tackle laughs arrogantly. Time to show this scum why they are on the wrong side. Decker Reaper held his pole tightly while exclaiming, "You'll need more soldiers to get it!" Arrowhead groaned, "You will regret this! All units, full frontal assault! Give them no chance!" The sound of blowing horn. Arrowhead's army roared wildly as they all charged straight at Dragon Riders, who remained firm, steady and ready to attack. As the Arrowhead's army came close to them, Justice Tackle cried out loud as he charged into battlefield. He then swung his spear at them while his Speed Dragon knocked and rammed his enemies, fired his fire-breathing at them and sometimes took a bite on them. His riders joined in as well. They eventually have to fight and deal with Arrowhead's Dragon Rides. Decker Reaper and his remaining soldiers stick with their generals as they deal with the rest of Arrowhead's soldiers. Due to his powerful and immersive strength, Decker Reaper swung and knocked his mace on them very hard. Both Fire Storm and Constantine fought back with swinging swords at them. Arrowhead signaled his archers in firing the arrows at their enemies. Both his and his enemies' sides were taking heavy casualties. Han Zero and his allies have arrived to the battlefield. They all charged straight towards Dragon Riders group. Justice Tackle quickly regroup and guide them towards his clan. His army quickly formed in circle of defense. "Commander, you've made it! I thought we're finished!" Fire Storm exclaims, relived that Han Zero's group has shown up at last. "We're glad we did. Where's the elixir?" Han Zero ask Fire Storm. He hopes that the elixir is safe and sound. "With me." Justice Tackle answers as he motions the elixir in the pouch tied to himself. "It's safe for now. But not for long if Arrowhead continued attacking us." "Arrowhead?! That marauder?! Here?!" Decker Reaper nodded as he explains, "Yes, sir. One leader who pardoned and gave the order." "I shouldn't have known." Han Zero growled out angrily. He should've figured out this treachery soon! "Either way, we must leave now! The Emperor will not last long!" Azure exclaims. They don't got time left, the emperor will expire soon...and with that, Celestia and Luna. "I've got the idea. Dragon Riders will stay on the middle. Commander Han and Colonel Azure Phoenix will lead the front. My clan will guard the rear." Claw Tiger proposes an idea that could work. "The plan is good enough. Any argument?" Han Zero asked the others if they have any opposition to this plan. Everyone remained silent but nodded firmly. "Good. Everyone, be ready to move out!" Ben and his team arrived but hide behind the rocks while watching the event. They even saw Arrowhead on the mountain. This surprised and shocked them. "Boris?! Here?! What's he doing here?!" Ben ask, recognizing his longtime rival from his childhood. He shouldn't be here in the past! "If you pay attention, that's not him! It's Arrowhead." Pinkie points out to Ben, a bit annoyed that he wasn't paying attention. "Right, plus Boris would've gotten those two nitwits with him." Applejack pointed out that if Boris is here, then his pals Boxco and Dum-Dum wouldn't be too far behind. "As well as the rest of his pals." "Boris or not. By the looks of his, it's a bad news. Han Zero and others better get out of here now!" Ben exclaims seriously to the girls. Han Zero's group must leave while the getting's good. Han Zero and his soldiers readied themselves in ready of move out while forming the defense around them. As Arrowhead's army surrounded them, the enemies were ready to attack. With Han Zero's whistled, he and his army charged through the enemies fiercely and wildly. As they planned; Han Zero, Azure Phoenix and their army lead the front, Dragon Riders on the middle while Tiger Clan guard the rear. They all headed straight through the long canyon. Arrowhead groaned, "After them! Don't let them escape!" Arrowhead and his army give chase to their enemies at once. Ben and his team quickly followed them from behind. Han Zero and his allies galloped their Dragon Rides as fast as they can through the canyon. Ben and his team were following them from the eastern canyon. As Han Zero and his allies continued trotting, Arrowhead and his large army came from both sides - behind of them and their left side. "We have them now! Fire!" Arrowhead ordered his troops evilly. His archers quickly armed, aimed and fired their arrows straight at Han Zero and his brave soldiers. Some of them have managed to block and deflect the arrows but most of them were injured and killed in process. Arrowhead armed and readied his poison dragon sneeze arrow as he fired it straight at Han Zero's Fury Dragon, making it screeched and yelled in pain. As Han Zero and his allies continued riding, Han Zero noticed his dragon panted and breathed heavily as he spitted some blood out. Han Zero and his allies were close to the cavern, which will lead straight back to the camp. And just before they could reach it, Han Zero's dragon fell to the ground hard. Azure Phoenix gasped, "Commander! Hold your position!" "Don't! Get the elixir back now! I'll be fine!" Han Zero ordered in determination. His life isn't worth stopping, they got to get that elixir to the emperor and now! "But Luna-!" "Go! Go now! Get it to the Emperor now!" Brave Tiger groaned in despair, "We can't leave him!" Anger nodded as he added, "I agreed! We must-!" Azure Phoenix interrupts before Anger could finish, "No. We must go!" Han Zero is right. They must get that elixir to the emperor if the princesses are to be saved from being buried alive! "But the Commander?!" Claw Tiger protests to Azure. Are they actually going to abandon Han Zero like this?! "He's buying us time to reach the camp! We must do it! All units fall back! Now!" Azure Phoenix led the rest of his army retreating back to the camp at once. Han Zero turned and glared at Arrowhead and his army approaching them while readying their weapons. Han Zero noticed that some of his troops remained behind while armed with their weapons. "I thought I told you all to retreat! Why did you disobey the order?!" Han Zero exclaims, stunned that some of his troops refuse to leave when ordered to do so. A Qin Soldier explains sternly, "General, we refused to leave you behind and fight against the odds!" A second Qin Soldier nodded in agreement. He spoke, "Yes, let us fight for you!" A third Qin Soldier saluted Han Zero as he added, "We will die in honor of you and our kingdom! We are ready!" Qin Soldiers cheered wildly and proudly, causing Han Zero looked surprise yet relief and grateful. He turned and looked at Fury Dragon, who is slowly dying. Han Zero patted his dragon gently as he said quietly, "Black Wind, you did your best. Rest in peace, my best friend." Fury Dragon nodded while coughed heavily as he closed his eyes while giving his last breathe peacefully. Han Zero and his remaining loyal troops of 50 stood firmly and readied their weapons to fight. "Mind if we join in?!" Ben spoke. Han is startled as he and the girls show up quickly, ready to assist him. "No need to fight alone." Applejack explains to Han with a smirk. "We done ain't gotta watch anymore." "Right. Loyalty is a pain but it's worth it, pal!" Rainbow exclaims happily as she pounds her chest, ready for some action. "Yep, and added some cool stuff right here!" Pinkie exclaims, much to her friends' amusement. Han Zero sighed, "I don't plan to ask of how and what you're doing here. But be my guest!" "Good to hear. I'll do whatever it takes to get you back alive for Luna. She really loves you." Ben said to Han Zero with a smile. It could make his aunt happy to see her lover alive and well, surviving this madness. "I know." Arrowhead huffed in annoyance, "This is where the mighty Commander Han Zero die. All units, get ready!" No matter how many allies that Han Zero gets, he dies today! Han Zero and his last remaining army were armed and readied their weapons for their last stand especially against Arrowhead and his large army. "Dragon Cavalry," Arrowhead ordered firmly, "Advanced!" ROAR! A pack of Dragon Riders nudged their dragons as they were marching towards their enemies. Han Zero and his warriors armed and readied to fight back. The Dragons trotted off as they were charging straight at their targets. "SHIELD UP!" Han Zero ordered firmly. Han Zero's 20 soldiers armed and held their shields. Applejack assisted the soldiers in holding her shield against them. The Dragon Riders rammed straight at Han's shield units. They were being pushed back by the riders very hard and fierce, however the soldiers withheld the attacks firmly. For the moment has passed as Dragon Riders unable to breakthrough the defense. Han Zero screamed in anger as he thrust his spear at the first rider, followed by his spear soldiers of 10 in defeating them. Ben and Rainbow Dash joined in defeating and knocking their enemies off from their mounted ride. With the riders death, the dragon quickly flew off to the sky. Seeing Han Zero and his army overcame them, Arrowhead halted his remaining of Dragon Riders from marching. "That was easy!" Rainbow Dash commented. "That's just first wave," Han Zero commented dryly, "Get ready for the second wave!" Arrowhead turned to large army of infantry, "INFANTRY! FULL ASSAULT!" The army of infantries armed and readied their spears, pikes and axes down. They began marching towards Han Zero's army. Close to their targets, they charged and rammed to breakthrough them. Han Zero's army held their shields firmly and ferociously while pushing theirs back against Arrowhead's army. For the moment passed in ramming through, Han Zero jumped over his soldiers whole swinging his spear at the front units. He screamed in fury as he charged and swung his spear at his enemies, in both knocking and defeating them. The soldiers lifted their shields up, Ben Valorheart and Rainbow Dash led 20 soldiers charged and attacked the enemies. Applejack stayed back with 20 of them in holding shields against the enemies while Pinkie Pie led 10 archers in firing the arrows at their targets. Pinkie Pie and her archers continued firing and shooting their arrows at their targets swiftly and quickly. Ben Valorheart and Rainbow Dash stayed close to each other as they attacked the enemies while protecting and looking out for each other. Applejack and her shield units pushed, rammed and knocked their enemies off. Fiercely, skillfully and swiftly; Han Zero swung, stroke and thrust his spear at the enemies one-by-one. However, his soldiers slowly get killed by distraction, sheer force, swift and brutal attacks by Arrowhead's soldiers. Nevertheless, Han Zero and his army fought bravely and ferociously like demons as they continued defeating and killing Arrowhead's soldiers. They have killed 3,000 soldiers so far, which their corpses formed a giant and tall pyramid formation. This has put a great fear in him and his soldiers. "Great Heaven," Arrowhead remarked in shock and concern, "What kind of ponies are we dealing?! How could they overcome so many soldiers?!" Han Zero and his army are almost at the end. Brave soldiers died on the battlefield. Ben Valorheart and his team were tired and exhausted while Han Zero was on top of corpses as he remained vigilant and firm while holding his sword tightly as he continued swinging his sword in knocking and defeating soldiers out. Rainbow Dash panted, "I don't know how long I can take this..." "Me neither..." Applejack agreed. Pinkie Pie nodded, "We have to get out of here now!" Ben groaned, "We're not leaving without Han! I don't care if history says it. I'm gonna make sure Aunt Luna never turned into Nightmare Moon." Overheard of his friends' conversation, Han Zero was shocked yet confuse of their conversation. May not understand what does Princess Luna has to do with him, he refused to let them risked everything for his sake. "Everyone, go! Retreat!" Han Zero ordered firmly, causing Ben Valorheart confuse and concern. He sighed, "Ben, tell Luna - I'm sorry and I'd always love her." "Wh-what?" Ben asked in confusion before his eyes opened wide in shock and concern, "No! No! Don't!" Han Zero took the spear and thrown it straight to the ceiling in bringing the rocks down. Ben Valorheart, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie jumped to the back at once before the rocks dropped on them while close the entrance. They all coughed heavily while recovering from injuries. They turned and looked at closed entrance. "What the hay would he do that?!" Rainbow Dash asked angrily. Applejack groaned, "He's saving us, even though we want to saved him!" "We've gotta help him now!" Ben Valorheart exclaimed in concern, "We can't let him died!" Ben Valorheart was about to dig but held and stopped by Pinkie Pie, who shook her head sadly. She sighed, "No matter what we do, history don't let us like stopping Seekcurse. I don't think this is gonna be any different. I'm sorry, Ben." Ben Valorheart's eyes were wide in shock and disbelief, "No..." Ben Valorheart and his team turned and looked through the a hole of crumbling rocks. They witnessed the exhausted and tired Han Zero stood still firmly while looking at the event. Arrowhead approached Han Zero while armed with his sword. The rebel general looked at the eyes of imperial general with his firm eyes. "You're truly powerful warrior, Commander Han Zero. I salute you..." Han Zero sighed while nodded slowly. Arrowhead screamed as he raised his sword up and slashed on commander's torso from top to down. Han Zero gave his last breathe as he closed his eyes. Ben and his team were in shock but pained and despaired to see it. Ben Valorheart hissed in anger, "Damn it! Damn it! I failed..." -------------------------------------------- At the Imperial Main Camp, Azure Phoenix and Claw Tiger have returned and brought the elixir as well. Both Imperial Soldiers and Dragon Desert Riders were resting and recovering from injuries. Rarity and Fluttershy approached and assisted Dr. Phoenix and his medic in healing and helping the injured ones. They even whispered and informed them of important information. Azure Phoenix and Claw Tiger entered the main camp as they presented and passed the elixir to Prince Shine. They then leave the camp at once. Twilight Sparkle, Nyx, Spike and even Danny with his camera sneaked into the camp as they witnessed the event. They watched Prince Shine showed the elixir to his father, along with Seekcurse and Prime Minister Excel Con. "Father, they did it," Prince Shine said proudly and relief, "You'll be healed again!" Emperor Qin Wang Di nodded while coughed heavily, "Good. Please, give me now!" "But first, you must drink water, my lord. You were thirsty and exhausted after a long journey to come here," Prime Minister Excel Con said. Both the Emperor and Prince Shine nodded. Seekcurse passed the drinks to them. As they drank slowly and calmly, they suddenly felt shock and pain in their throat. They dropped their cups while screaming in pain and shock. Prince Spoiled Runt entered the scene while watching the event. "Wh-What is going on?!" Prince Shine demanded in pain. Emperor Qin Wang Di coughed heavily before looked at his ministers, "What have you done?!" Seekcurse smirked as he drank all of elixir into himself, "To ensure our control of power and dynasty. Rust in peace, your highnesses. Everything is in order." Emperor Qin Wang Di groaned in pain, "Y-you! You! You will pay for this! BLAH!" Emperor Qin Wang Di spitted the blood out from his mouth before falling to the ground hard. Prince Shine coughed heavily while spilling blood out as well. Both were dead. Three witnesses smirked darkly in looking at it. Twilight Sparkle and her friends looked at each other and nodded firmly before they left the camp. "All is done," Excel Con said in relief. Prince Spoiled Runt sighed, "Good. Everything is mine now. I can do whatever I want." "Yes, you do that," Seekcurse said in amusement, "Now to inform the public." Seekcurse, Excel Con and even Prince Spoiled exited the camp to make announcement. Instead of announcing, the Imperial Military Army shouted and demanded in anger and disbelief about what have they done to the Emperor. They panicked in fear and worry about it. "H-How?!" Seekcurse asked in shock. He gasped, "Of course! I should have known! My plans has failed! Damn you! Westerns!" The soldiers shouted and protested in anger against Seekcurse and his accomplices of the crimes they committed. Twilight Sparkle and her friends sighed in relief as they managed to prevent both Seekcurse and his accomplices from rising to powers but the cost was heavy to pay... -------------------------------------------- "With Seekcurse and his accomplices have been exposed, the will of the Emperor has all been destroyed. Both ministers and military have no choice but to make a new decision for the fate of dynasty and his heir. Thus, Royal Sisters are freed and allowed to return home. However, at the cost of this - Commander Han Zero was slain. And the Land of Ma will soon thrown into chaos again..." A week has passed, Twilight Sparkle and her friends watched and witnessed Royal Sisters, Wolverine Thrust, Azure Phoenix and his children, and the Imperial Army were paying their respects to their fallen ally's tombstone - Han Zero. With it, everyone left except Royal Sisters, Wolverine Thrust, Azure Phoenix and his children. Princess Luna sobbed tearfully as he held the tombstone tightly, "Han! Han! How could this has happen?! I should have been there! I should have! Damn it! Why?! Why is this happening?!" Princess Celestia was about to pat her. She turned and screamed at her older sister, "WHY?! WHY must he died?! WHY?!" Princess Celestia held and hugged her younger sister, "I'm sorry, Luna. I'm truly sorry. He loves you and wants you to live." "But I... I can't live without him!" "I know. But lived for him and others. It's what he wanted. Don't sacrificed your life because he's gone. He wouldn't want it." Princess Luna thought carefully before sighed in defeat, "Very well. I'll do it. For Han." "Good," Princess Celestia patted her younger sister's back gently, "Let's go home..." Everyone has been gathered at the Great Wall's entrance where Royal Sisters were being picked up and escorted by Mystic-Equestria Soldiers, who were sent by Mystic Avatar and Princess Lauren after they received latest news. "So, this is it..." Azure Phoenix said painfully while holding his children, "We will never see you again." Princess Celestia sobbed, "Won't you come with me? You'll be safe from danger. We both can finally be together. We'll both finally married and have family again." "You know I can't. I must stay here to take care of kingdom. Without the Emperor, it's chaos. If I died, I need someone to lead and look after my home." "Will I see you all again?" "Maybe... Take care of yourself. And I've always love you..." "Me too..." Princess Celestia turned and kissed all of her children's foreheads, "Mummy will always love you four. She always do. Don't forget about me, my children..." Both Princess Celestia and Azure Phoenix shared the long and passionate kiss together. Princess Luna and Wolverine had the chats. "Please, take care. Luna. Whatever happens. My brother will always be with you." Wolverine said calmly. Princess Luna nodded sadly, "I know. Thank you. Please, take care." Wolverine bowed, "Take care, my lady." Danny groaned, "This stinks..." Molly nodded, "No fair..." "There's nothing we can do now," Megan said in concern and shame, "We have to home now." Both Royal Sisters and William Siblings got into carriages, Mystic-Equestria Soldiers guided and escorted them back to home now. Wolverine Thrust, Azure Phoenix and his children watched them travelling back to their land safely. Twilight Sparkle and her friends watched the event as they couldn't help but feel sad and pain in watching it. "Should we go after them?" Spike asked in concern. Ben Valorheart nodded, "I have to make sure they're okay." Twilight Sparkle shook her head, "I don't think we can." Everyone looked at her. She continued, "We're still in Three Kingdoms of Ma Chapter. And besides, Celestia and Luna will be safe once they reached to Equestria. Nothing bad happen to them." "How can you be sure?" Applejack asked. "I don't," Twilight Sparkle answered, "But I do know one thing - the real war is about to begin..." Phobos groaned, "Oh great..." To be Continued... Reviews and Suggest...
