//------------------------------//

	Michael stood outside the city, he had to go alone as chrysalis had blocked all ponies with a force field that surrounded the city. With as much ammunition he could carry he walked into the city where he was met by dozens of Changelings. Time seemed to slow down as he raised his M60 and fired into the group dropping them as he slowly walked to the castle. Dozens were killed by the lone gun man, the last defender of Canterlot. While Changelings fell left and right Queen Chrysalis watched as the monster she now new as Crawford slowly walked closer to the tower. When he ran out of ammunition he dropped the M60 and began to use his M16, the speed he gained was immense as he dodged an attack from one of the Changeling Elite Fighters. Michael pulled his knife from his boot and stabbed the blade deep into the stomach of the vile creature, slicing to the left he tore a massive hole in the creatures stomach and grabbed its inards with his girzzled hands. He ripped them out while the changeling still screamed in pain and fear. 

Michael was now ready to unleash the beast within, he pulled his knife from the now lifeless changeling and stabbed it up to the hilt into another Changelings head. Michael put his knife on the end of his M16 and plunged it deep into yet another Changeling, instead of pulling it out he fired a round inside the Changelings gut causing a spray of green blood to cover the Changelings just behind him. More and more Changelings fell in increasingly gory and disturbing fashions. When Michael had slaughtered his way to the castle only sustaining minor injuries to his head and legs he found the changelings now were hiding behind the gate as if it would protect them.

"You think you can hide?" Michael said in an almost Demonic voice, he pulled two grenades from his belt, pulled the pins and tossed them towards the now cowering Changelings. "Think again!" Michael shouted in the same demonic voice, he laughed as the grenades detonated and killed the majority of the hiding Changelings.

"How can this be happening!? One Alien slaughtering all of my children!?" Chrysalis shouted angrily, she heard a satisfied grunt behind her. "What are you laughing at!?" she yelled at celestia who was now gagged, she removed her gag.

"Only I can call him off!" Celestia shouted, she saw the gears turning in Chrysalis's head.

Michael kicked the door into the castle and slaughtered his way up each floor again only taking minor injuries. When he reached the throne room he loaded his rifle and kicked the door open to find Chrysalis staring at him with a look of horror, he hadn't noticed but his new uniform was now completely soaked in Changeling blood. He raised his rifle and fired a round into Chrysalis's hoof causing her to shriek in pain and fall down. Michael approached her with a massive burning hatred in his eyes, he took a red magazine from his pack and loaded it into his M16. Putting the barrel to Chrysalis he was about to fire when he felt a sharp pain in his chest, looking down he saw there was a horn sticking through his stomach. Michael turned and put a pistol to the attackers head and firing. then with the horn still through his stomach he turned back to chrysalis 

"This........Ends......Now" Michael stammered as he pulled the trigger, a special round capable of killing an immortal flew from the barrel and into Chrysalis's Skull. With that he stumbled over to Princess Celestia and freed her from her bonds before collapsing to the floor.

"Michael!?" Celestia said with a horrified voice "MICHAEL!?" she shouted and flipped him over "SOME PONY! ANYPONY! HELP ME!" Celestia started to use her magic trying to heal Michael but he just put his hand up and looked at her. He grabbed her mane.

"Take care of yourself Celestia, make sure Luna knows how much I loved her gifts and her nights." Michael began to stammer, several guards ran in as the force field died with Chrysalis

"HELP HIM!" Celestia ordered and the Guards hoisted the bleeding and unconscious soldier on their backs, the raced to the infirmary. Only time would tell if Michael would Survive.....
