Enfield saluted Applejack and ran to his house. The storm hit just as he shut the door behind him, Enfield didn’t really want to go out again so he made himself some hot chocolate and retrieved the newspapers. The Equestrian newspaper was rather interesting to Enfield, he had never read a newspaper before but he felt as if he should read this one. He unfolded it and saw that it had only been published today, and Enfield’s old name was on the front cover. 
“James Rogers becomes new resident of Ponyville and the new commander of the Ponyville based Equestrian Guard,” the headline read. Enfield took the newspaper and set it down on the kitchen table, eager to read more. 

He read the paper and found out why he was the commander of the Ponyville forces, Celestia had heard of him defending the rift way until he was blasted through it by Rickter. It was because of this Celestia decided to trust him with military operations and his own section of Equestria to protect. Enfield wanted to take a machinegun outside and fire off a hundred rounds in celebration but he didn’t want to waste ammo. Enfield read on and found out that the story of him taking care of the Crusaders had spread all over the kingdom. He was now famous for his kindness and sheer determination of getting the Crusaders home. The other two earthen newspapers were from his county and the city of Philadelphia. Enfield saw that the newspapers were dated two weeks into the future, he wondered if time was slower here or the different dimensions had a different time passage and that Earths was faster. He once again saw his name on the front page but it was overshadowed by the Enforcer/Guardian war which was still going strong. Enfield found out that the government had confirmed that he was dead even thought they didn’t find his body. Enfield shook his head as he went to the second newspaper, he had to look through it to find anything about him. He found a small article with a picture of a helmet mounted on an assault rifle and a bayonet hanging from the trigger. Enfield looked at the picture and found out that it was his jungle carbine bayonet that he lost.

“Friends, family and admirers of Ex-Enforcer and terrorist James Rogers construct memorial in his honor.”  
Enfield ignored the terrorist part because he knew he wasn’t one. What he did was justified and the government was trying to cover it up. Enfield read on and discovered that Jessica was the ringleader in setting up the memorial, he felt a pang of sadness when he read this part because he felt like he never got to tell Jessica how he truly felt about her. Now because of his transformation, he could never see her again. Enfield’s family also mourned his death and disowned his former parents, vowing to never speak to them again. Enfield read the rest of the papers while he drank his hot chocolate, once he finished with the papers he took the comics out of the earthen newspapers and tossed them in the fire, he left the Equestrian newspaper on the table and proceeded to strip and clean his sniper rifle. Enfield was rather pleased when he found the entire box series of Monty Pythons Flying Circus on DVD, he couldn’t stand to work in silence.
