James POV
Turns out being being king is a lot easier if you're king of friendly ponies, no crime or anything, although there was some paperwork, but it was pony sized documents, so they had to print them out a little bigger thanks to Wheeljack.
"Man this is easier than I thought," I said walking down a corridor, flanked by two elite guard Vehicons, we also gave the Vehicons I summoned a new look, to show they're on the Autobot side, blue optics, Autobot symbols, and a red paintjob for the miners, blue for the troopers, silver for the flyers, and bronze for the tankers.
The elite guards of the reformed Vehicons is gold with ruby red highlights, "How so sir?" one of the Vehicons asked, they both were trooper Vehicons.
"Well, I thought being king would involved more paperwork, more crime and etc etc, but it's a lot easier." I said, fixing the crown on top of my head, the ponies had made me a golden crown like the one Starscream had, and a golden colored cape, with the Autobot symbol.
I entered the royal library, I had been searching for the spellbooks of shadow magic, I might need more than Autobots, Chaos magic, and the Matrix to defend my kingdom and friends.
"Umm, excuse me, my lord?" turning around to see a normal looking Sombra, we found him in the crater where me and the dinobots fought him, apparently, he was corrupted by the shadow magic, and after he entered my mind, the Matrix tore apart the corruption.
"Yes Sombra?" I asked, he gulped and walked closer to me,
"If you're looking for the spellbooks on shadow magic, I can show you where they are," that was good news.
"Yes, I would like to see these spellbooks, Sombra."
"A-alright, follow me." I began to follow him, he lead me down a corridor that looked to be untouched for who knows how long.

Twilights POV
We had been on the train for 30 minutes and 23 seconds, that's how long it had been since we heard the return of the Crystal Empire, that's how long it had been since we prepared for battle, and that's how long it had been for me freaking out!
I never been in a fight before, let alone a battle! But nope! Here I am on a train in armor with my friends and the princesses also in armor, and a squad of Royal Guards consisting of 15 Pegasai, 10 unicorns, and 20 Earth ponies!
"Are you okay Twilight?" Fluttershy asked me, she and afew others, were wearing medical uniforms, seeing Fluttershy isn't much of a fighter, she instantly made a medic.
"I'm fine Fluttershy, just... kinda scared, I never been in battle before,"
"I know what you mean, having to go fight against creatures that didn't do anything wrong is wrong,"
"Fluttershy, the giant was about to hurt the Crusaders, he had them in its whatever it has,"
"No Twilight, he wasn't about to hurt them, he was protecting them from Timberwolves if you don't mind me saying,"
"Whatever you say Flutters, but that creature could spell disaster for everypony," Fluttershy was about to say something when a guard said something,
"Crystal Empire coming up everypony," looking out the window, we saw the Crystal Empire, in all its glory, but what caught my eye were the flying objects, they didn't look like pegasus ponies, or any flying creature at all, at least not one I haven't read about.
I just hope the princesses know what they are doing.

James POV
We finally found the spellbooks, it took a while but we found them, I was currently reading a few of them, but they were a little confusing, but Sombra is teaching me.
"Now, the spells are really easy, but seeing how you're from another world, it can be difficult, but with sime teaching you might be able to cast them," I nodded, we were starting with the basics, easier stuff until I could do the hatder ones.
"Alright, this spell looks easy enough," I showed the spell to Sombra, and his eyes widened.
"Spectral wings?! You want to try that?"
"Yes." I answered cooly, before Sombra could begin a Crystal Guard came,
"Your highness, the princesses are approaching the gate with a large battalion of Royal Guards!" no sooner than he said that, I ran right past him and headed straight towards the gate,
:Hound, I need you get every Autobot hidden NOW!:
:Roger that Prime! ALRIGHT EVERYONE! WE GOT A CODE ZEBRA! GET TO HIDING OR I'LL SHOOT YOU!: maybe putting Hound in charge of hiding everyone was a bad idea,not! Exiting the Crystal Tower, I made my way to the gates, seeing Autobots running to designated hiding spots, I finally made it to the gates and saw the princesses with the battalion.
I increased the volume of my voice, thankful that Cybertronians can do that, "HALT!!" they immediately stopped, "YOU ARE ENTERING THE TERRITORY OF THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE!! STATE YOUR BUSINESS!!" Celestia walked up,
"We are here to free the Crystal Empire from your evil, monster." oi, still thinking I'm evil, get a load of this jerk.
"For your information, I am not evil, I saved those fillies from Timberwolves, and you attacked me, Sun Butt!"
"That may be true that you saved three fillies from Timberwolves, only to use them as the first subjects of your Chaos Magic!!"
"WHAT!! YOU THINK I DO THAT TO INNOCENT FILLIES YOU FAT PIECE OF GARBAGE!!! I WOULD NEVER DO THAT!! I shouted full of rage, and pretty sure my voice out rivaled the Royal Canterlot Voice, "I HAVE HALF A MIND TO NOT SEND YOU TO TARTARUS FOR THAT!!" a very tense moment of silence hung in the air, Celestia looking at me in shock.
Apparently no one ever insulted Celestia like that, "Very well then, if you won't tell the truth, and refuse to surrender then we will just have to destroy you." Celestia said, and no moment then she said that, they charged,
"BATTLE STATIONS!! DEFEND THE EMPIRE!!" the Crystal Guards began to grab weapons, and prepared for battle, pegasi flew towards us, but were disposed by clever shots from my shield blaster, stun missiles only, don't want to kill them, beams of magic flew past us, or more specifically, me.
'So they want to fight, I'll give them a FIGHT!!'
