//------------------------------// // Love is "Red", but so is "Death": Part 2. // Story: Omega's Post-Humous Log // by The P Co //------------------------------// Is the shitstorm over? Yes? Okay, on with the story It was a peaceful day, the Mane 6, Omega, and his little sister Scootaloo were enjoying a picnic. The 6 mares were whispering to eachother with Twi in the center, each of them occasionally stole glances at Omega, he didn't think much of it, but was a little irritated that they might have kept making a big deal about how he eats without a visible mouth. Scootaloo was watching the clouds, sunglasses and violet hoodie on, wings spread out beneath her, just like RD, Omega was thankful that her tail was between her legs, after confirming first hand the realism of the version of the MLP world he ended up in, he appreciated common decency much more than before. Omega was absorbing the feeling of nature around him, when suddenly he heard something, heavy breathing, it was Spike, running towards them, he got a little bit worried, he wasn't sure how his presence would influence the day's events, so far his presence made things worse or better, he wasn't having a lot of faith in his luck. Spike came upon the group, the mares' whispering ceased, Spike huffed and puffed. "I *huff* have a *huff* message for *huff* you Twi-*huff*-light." Spike wheezed, the air being forced out of him by a fire-sent letter, he collapsed to the ground to rest. Twilight opened the letter to read it. Dear Faithful Student, Twilight In honor of the upcoming wedding in Canterlot, I request you and each of your friends to assist the planning process. Fluttershy, I would like you and your songbird choir to provide the music, I'm sure you will do great Pinkie Pie, I want you to organize the decor for the wedding itself, as well as the reception, I am confident that Applejack, I want you to make the food for the wedding, since the wedding is a very important one, I have gathered the only chefs who have the honor of the title "Epic." Rainbow Dash, I know that you can break the sound barrier with ease, so do that when I give you the cue. Rarity, you will be entrusted to make the dresses for the bride and her bride's maids Omega, with your expertise, I'm sure you know what to do, and your little sister Scootaloo will be the flower-filly. ...and last but definately not least. Twilight, you will watch over the preparations to make sure that everything go over smoothly I hope to see you all soon Yours truly, Celestia. The rest of the Mane 6 had their various reactions, but Omega reigned in the whole celebration with a single question. "Nice, so, who's getting married?" he asked, he knew already, but, y'know, fuckin' shit with the paradox of knowing the events of the show already. "That's... a good question." Twi said, she looked over the paper front, back, side, diagnally, twisted, and manner of directions. "OH, I should have given you this one too." Spike said, a sheepish smile on his face, he handed over another letter, Twilight rolled her eyes and took it in her telekinetic grasp. You are cordially invited to the upcoming wedding of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, and... "My big brother?" Twilight questioned to no one in particular. It took a few moments for the words to sink in, but when they did... "Your BROTHER?" the Mane 6 and Omega asked, shocked by the revelation, though Omega was faking it. "You have a big brother?" Scootaloo asked simply. "Yes." Twilight answered simply. "Who is he?" everyone else asked. "My brother is Shining Armor, captain of the Royal Unicorn Guard." Twilight answered, her voice was emotionless. "I mean, I'm okay with Shiny getting married, but my problem is that I got it from a CELESTIA-DAMN LETTER!" Twilight had seamlessly gone from emotionless to blind fury. "WE WERE SO CLOSE, AND HE TELLS ME HE'S GETTING MARRIED THROUGH A CELESTIA-DAMN LETTER?" Twilight asked rhetorically. "AND PLUS? WHO THE FUCK IS THIS PRINCESS MI AMORE CADENZA?" Twilight was still in full rage mode. "THAT'S IT, I QUIT, LET'S GO!" Twilight announced, teleporting the group to the train station, entering a train and using her magic to bring it into overdrive, they reached Canterlot in less than a minute. Exiting the train, Twilight paid no heed to the mass of guards, 2 guards blocked the exit. "I'm the Element of Magic, block me and I break you." Twilight threatened, the large, buff stallions looked like they had pissed themselves in fear, they probably had. The rest of the Mane 6 exited the train, Omega and Scootaloo were left behind. "Now listen, only use this when your being threatened, okay?" Omega asked, handing her little sister her Destroyer Eagle. "Okay, I promise bro." Scootaloo answered, taking the gun and putting it in her hoodie pocket, she galloped out of the train, the guards did not block her. Everything changed when Omega walked out of the train, all of the guards bowed and saluted him. "What's going on?" Omega asked, legitimately confused. "General Omega, it is wonderful to see you, how has your leave time been?" a guard stepped forth to ask, he was tall, about 4 feet, he was wearing a suit of intricate armor, black runes on it's copper colored surface, his coat was pale grayish-brown, he had a short dark brown mane and medium length dark brown tail. "General?" Omega asked, he looked at his citizenship and social security card. Military: Yes Rank: Class 4 General "So, Luna made me a general, awesome." Omega said, the side-effects of this were something grand. The brown earth pony walked along a path, Omega followed. "Yes, there are only 3 generals of Class 4 rank, myself, Thorn Forge." the earth pony revealed. "HEY THORNY, CATCH!" a younger sounding voice came, Thorn lashed out a hoof clad in a very thick looking heavy armor shoe, a metal crossbow bolt bounced off of it suddenly. "The Class 4 General rank is only given to 1 pony of each race, I can see why you were given it as well, I have no doubt of her highness Princess Luna's reason, anypony who can kill something like the Nightmare spirit more than deserves the rank." Thorn continued, blocking another bolt. "Comet CUT IT OUT!" Thorn shouted suddenly, Omega looked up. He saw another stallion, a pegasus with a white coat and a light blue mane and tail with red highlights, apparently when your worthy of having the rank of Class 4 General, the Mane/Tail rules don't apply. His armor was silver colored with butter yellow runes He landed to introduce himself. "Hi, the name's Blue Comet, I see you met Thorny here, let me explain the armor, the Class 4 Generals are issued a special suit of armor, steel with a 'royal metal' coloring, 'royal metal' refers to copper, silver, and gold, the Earth Pony is given the copper one not because he or she is less important, but because it's the same color as the ground, sort of, the pegasus gets silver because it's the same color as the clouds, sort of, and the unicorn gets gold because it's the same color as the sun, sort of, each General gets a special weapon of there specifications made by the 'Council of Ingots' which is composed of the greatest blacksmiths and silversmiths in Equestria, Thorny's here is bone breaker shoes, mine is this sniper crossbow." Blue Comet explained, bringing out the crossbow to show it, it's pale yellow wooden structure was flawless, it had a long barrel with a bolt positioned to be launched through it for increased accuracy, besides that, it was just a normal crossbow, larger than average, but still normal. "Right, well, let's go see Shanka Grim, he's probably either executing somepony or reading a book right now." Thorn insisted, Omega laughed at the pair of options. A grim looking stallion, with a pale white coat and blacker-than-black mane and tail, his mane was dangling out of his helmet and covering part of his face, wearing a gold armor suit with blood red runes on it, walked to them, lifting his helmet and moving his mane out of the way, Omega saw his eyes, one looked like shifting sparkles of blues and reds and yellows, the other looked like shifting dark gray dust, he was a unicorn. "Hello fellow General Omega, would you like to make some money?" Shanka offered. "How so?" Omega skepticised. "By selling blood and semen." Shanka answered. "Say no, man, just say no." Blue and Thorn whispered to him. "Uh, no thanks." Omega declined. "Alright, see ya later." Shanka said, teleporting away in a flash of dead gray magic. "Phew, close one." Blue said, flying again. "What was that about?" Omega asked. "Shanka tends to ask stallions that, right before he kills them, that's why he said 'blood and semen', he meant mixed together." Thorn explained. "Mixed together? That's disgusting." Omega cringed at the thought, he wasn't that sick in the head. "We think he's a cidophile, getting his rocks off to the sensation of commiting murder." Blue theorized. "I see, and you don't stop him because..." Omega trailed off. "He would kill us and ejacualate on our corpses." Blue answered crudely. "Uh huh, I'm gonna go now." Omega said, summoning the Speed armor and flying away. <> Twilight had been angrily walking to where her brother, Captain Shining Armor, was giving out orders. "HEY, SHINY!" Twilight shouted, approaching quicker. "Huh? Oh, HEY TWILY!" Shining called out to her. the other guards went to their stations after Twilight teleported to the "You've got some explaining to do." Twilight demanded. "Twily, you look great. Are you taller? Have you been working out?" Shining guessed. "Yes I am, and yes I have, but that's not the important thing right now, the important thing is that you didn't tell me about your wedding yourself." Twilight complained. "Oh, I see, I knew you would feel this way, I'm sorry I couldn't get to you, but a situation has come up and it got out of hoof before anypony could properly assess it, a threat has been made against Canterlot, all of Canterlot. It's been my sole duty to make sure that the entire city stays safe." the white knight explained, raising his head high, he fired another beam of power to the shield surrounding all of Canterlot, Twilight hadn't even noticed the large, violet bubble. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know. But you still could have sent me a personal letter, rather than depending on a wedding invitation." Twilight apologized, but immediately fired up again. "I know, and I'm sorry, it's just that along with shield duties, I've been tasked with distributing the entire military force, the Class 4 Generals refuse to help, lousy slackers, the lot of them, Thorn Forge, Blue Comet, Shanka Grim, hell, General Omega has been on leave for 21 months, he should have beed discharged for that." Shining complained. "Don't talk about Omega like that, he's a great soldier, he killed the Nightmare spirit when the Elements of Harmony themselves couldn't." Twilight argued. "How do you know that?" Shining asked, his voice now calmer. "I know because I got a letter about it, Celestia felt it was important enough to tell me about it." Twilight lied, but she wouldn't let Omega go un-defended, regardless of the truth. "I see, well, look, I'm sorry Twily, I've been trying my best, but my best isn't enough, apparently." Shining apologized, he sounded defeated. "Don't call me Twily, my... coltfriend calls me that, and I don't want things to get wierd between me and him." Twilight requested, her voice was desperate. "You have a coltfriend now too? Why didn't you tell me?" Shining querried. "I was going to let you know when you got the 'wedding invitation'." Twilight mocked. "Okay, that's just cruel, but, who is he though?" Shining asked. "I'll tell you the name of the stallion I'm dating if you answer me this, who the hell is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza?" Twilight compromised. "Twilight, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, is Cadance, your old foalsitter?" Shining revealed. "Cadance? The beautiful, kind, alicorn princess of love?" Twilight asked, her malice was replaced with excitement. "The one and only." Shining said with pride. "Nice catch." Twilight congratulated. "Where did you learn to talk like that?" Shing asked jokingly. "My stallion-friend, he's very wise." Twilight said with pride. "He better be treating you right, or me and him will have a conversation involving my hooves and his muzzle." the large stallion threatened. "HA, no offense Shining, but he would fucking destroy you and piss on the ashes." Twilight countered. "We'll see about that, but still, who is he?" Shining insisted. "Hold on, we're still on Cadance, so, you're marrying the princess of love, huh? I bet you 2 have had plenty of 'fun', if you know what I mean." Twilight implied. "Twilight, don't ask me stuff like that, but to answer your question, we haven't had any... 'fun', at all." Shining revealed. "You haven't? I'm surprised, with your charm and her power, I'd imagine she'd probably be pregnant by now, if not already given birth." Twilight skepticised. "Oh come on, it's not like you would know that kind of stuff." Shining dismissed, he was suddenly hit in the head with a rolled up scroll, he picked it up and looked at Twilight, she gestured for him to open it. "Dear brother, on the contrary to your misguided belief, I happen to have a good amount of... 'first hoof experience' with the subject, which I find funny, I lost my virginity before you did, and you're, like 10 years older than me, if you're wondering why you're having to read this out loud from a piece of paper, think of it as revenge." he read, suddenly, the words sunk in, he jumped in the air, did a backflip, landed, and shouted in shock. "AAAH! WHY WOULD YOU MAKE ME READ THAT?!?!" he yelled at her, Twilight collapsed in a giggling fit. "Oh Shining, I have to grow up eventually, so I decided to do so sooner rather than later, and you had to find out about me and my stallion-friend making love sooner or later as well, and I chose later." she laughed. "LATER?!" he demanded to know. "It happened in April, 2 months ago. Me and him went at like bunnies." Twilight reminisced. "WHY ARE YOU GIVING ME THIS INFORMATION?!?" he said in desperation. "Huh? Oh, that last part was... private, calm down Shining, I'm not pregnant, we're still together, and I'm not being used, so CALM DOWN." Twilight commanded, Shining sat back on his haunches and sighed. "*sigh* Well, this is a lot to take in, I'm sorry I freaked out, but you can understand why I did, I just never wanted to think about my little sister, in a relationship, and... that, even before me, it's more of a blow to the pride than a blow to the sanity." Shining monologued. "It's okay, bro, I understand." Twilight assured him. "Hooooooooh, so, who is this mysterious mysterious hymen-breaking stallion?" Shining teasingly asked, his shock had gone, replaced with curiosity. "Do you have to use that adjective?" Twilight argued. "Well, it's either hymen-breaking, mind-tainting, or rut-buddy." Shining teased again. "Shut the fuck up, but fine, I'll tell you, but I'll describe him to you, he's tall, strong." she was interrupted. "It's not General Thorn forge is it?" Shing guessed. "No, he has red hair." Twilight was cut off again. "General Blue Comet?" Shining asked again. "NO, he's really good at magic." Twilight, to her irritation, was cut off yet again. "Tell me it's not General Shanka Grim." Shining hoped. "Shanka doesn't have red hair." Twilight argued. "He does when he's doing executions." Shining countered. "It's not Shanka, he's a General, but not any of those 3." Twilight said, a bit angry. "Is it General Omega?" Shining guessed again. "Did someone say my name?" Omega querried, coming upon the scene and sheating the visor on his Speed armor. "Yes." Twilight answered. "Your General Omega? And your dating and lost your virginity to him?" Shining asked the pair. "Yes." Omega and Twi answered simultaneously. "Am I interrupting something?" Cadance's voice piped in. "Oh, honey, I didn't see you there." Shining apologized, moving to her side in a second. "Uh huh, who're these 2?" she asked, she sounded irate. "I'm Omega, and you may be a princess, but you should show some respect." Omega answered, violence dripping from his words. "Cadance! It's me, Twilight." Twi answered cheerfully, she was in front of the princess now. "Right, listen, Shiny, I need to go, I have to check on the wedding preparations." Cadance dismissed herself, teleporting away in a flash of toxic green magic. "What was that all about?" Twilight querried, Cadance looked, sounded, acted, and was overall... off. "Shouldn't you also be checking on the preparations?" Shining reminded, Twilight said nothing, immediately teleporting away. "Well, heh, mares huh?" Omega joked to the white stallion. "Listen, buddy, you may be a Class 4 General, but you will NOT disrespect those 'mares', I care about both of them very deeply and if you so much as lift a..." Shining took a moment to remember the term for the appendages Omega had "...finger, on either of them with the intent to harm, I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it." Shining threatened, his voice carried the power that had earned him the rank of Captain of the Unicorn Royal Guard. "Calm your shit, Shining Armor, have some discipline, I'm not going to hurt Twilight, and Cadance has done nothing wrong, but I will not hesitate to destroy those who prove a threat to the safety of the innocent or myself, Twilight is okay, I know her, I love her, I don't know you, I don't even so much as like you, I will hurt you if you try to hurt me." he threatened, his voice didn't carry power, it carried blood, it carried death. "Alright, let's remain civil, you don't hurt me, I don't hurt you, deal?" Shining proposed. "Assuming the latter is possible, deal." Omega agreed. They shared a hand/hoof-shake, and parted ways. <> Applejack was seriously questioning the quality and, furthermore, sanity of her helping staff, there were only 2 ponies, and they had a bird with a nametag, for some reason the nametag read 'Censor Squawk', she had no clue what that meant, suddenly, the fat, vulgar one started speaking. "I'm Harley Marenstein and welcome to: Epic Meal Time, wedding edition, we have a whole bunch of fancy s*squawk*t to work with, we're making food for the bonding of motherf*squawk*king Princess Cadance and the Captain of the f*squawk*king Unicorn Royal Guard, Shining Armor, and boy is he Shining, he's whiter than the crowd at a Justin Beiver concert, I'm sure it's Cadance who wears the pants in this relationship though, because she's PINK, and PINK is for AWESOME PONIES, we have the help of the beautiful farmer mare, Bearer of the Element of Honesty, Applejack, to help with our cooking today." the brown beared leader stallion ranted, he was a unicorn, his dark brown mane and tail were curly and thick, his coat was a light yellow, he wore a black shirt that said 'Haycon Strips' six times, his cutie mark was a skull wearing a hat with crossed knives below. The other stallion was silent, his coat was grayish-white and his mane and tail were short and black, he wore a pair of thin rimmed mirror glasses, his cutie mark was a dumb-bell with a bottle of whiskey and a long haycon strip wrapped around it twice. Applejack doubted the help factor of these stallions, she did everything on her own. Twilight watched. "And then, she just brushed me off like I was a nopony, no words of praise, no greeting, she treated me like S*squawk*T, why is that bird doing that?" Twilight ranted "It censors any swearing because some ponies may be too much of little b*squawk*ches to handle some vulgar language." Harley explained. "I see, why doesn't that one speak?" Twilight asked, pointing to the strong, silent stallion. "Oh him? That's Muscles Glasses, he doesn't talk, ever." Harley answered. "Uh huh, why?" Twilight prodded. "Because he doesn't feel like talking, ever." Harley answered. Cadance chose then to enter. "I'm here to check on the food." she announced, lucky for Applejack, she had just completed making a tray of apple tarts. "Here you go, princess, tha best apple tarts ya ever tasted." Applejack proudly presented. "Uh huh," Cadance started, picking one up in her toxic green magical field and eating it whole. "How is it?" Applejack asked. "It's... great, I love love love it." Cadance said, her voice faltering. "That's great, here's a few for the road, ah know how you brides are, so busy your starvin' by tha time ya get to tha altar." Applejack said, turning to tend to the other treats. AJ didn't see it, but Twilight did, before she left, Cadance threw the bag of tarts into the trash, Twilight wasn't one to waste, and left with the tarts in tow. "Begin Log, I can't help but notice that Cadance is being a bitch, she brushed me off, a national hero TWICE OVER, like I was a stain on the floor, not only that, but she's a big fucking liar too, she threw away a bag of tarts that AJ made with pride and care, draft log." Twilight finished, she would continue the log until she had samples of all of her friends and Cadance's interactions. <> Omega and Scootaloo played in the park, he had given a message machine to Thorn Forge, surprisingly the only Class 4 General to act like a General, or even a soldier, Blue Comet acted like a delinquent teenager, even though he was 31, Thorn Forge was 35 though, Shanka Grim, who apparently was the executioner as well as the Class 4 General unicorn, was 33, but he acted like a psychopath, he probably was. Omega's thoughts were interrupted when the frisbee he and Scootaloo were playing with hit him square in the chest, he picked it up and looked at his younger sibling. "Keep your head in the game, bro." Scoots said playfully. "Alright, heads up." Omega replied playfully, throwing the frisbee back, Scootaloo jumped into the air and caught it on the tip of her feather, directing it back to her big brother. They were having fun. <> Twilight watched Rarity work, the white mare was making the dress for Cadance, though Twilight was starting to doubt if Cadance deserved to be marrying her big brother. Speak of the Deviless and she'll come running. "Is my dress ready?" Cadance said the second she entered. "Why yes, I'm just putting on the finishing touches." Rarity answered, she showed Cadance the dress. "It's, nice, but the bridesmaids' dresses should be a different color." Cadance said, her voice still sounded overall irate and malicious. The Bridesmaids' voices opposed the decision, they thought the dresses to be perfect. "MAKE, THEM, a different color." Cadance demanded forcefully, silencing the bridesmaids with a hoof stomp. "I'll get right on it." Rarity complied. Cadance walked away, the bridesmaids left in the other direction. Twilight teleported to a sealed tower, continuing her log. "Continue Log, Cadance, who is normally very loving of everything, as it's in her nature as the alicorn of love, is very demanding of change, altering something perfect into something far from, I will continue the log after more research, Draft Log." Twilight teleported to the next area that needed to be checked. <> Omega and Scootaloo had moved to Canterlot Lake, removing their hoodies, they played in the water, simply enjoying each other's company, not caring about anything else at the moment. <> "Continue Log, Cadance, usually very accepting of simple fun, completely shot down Pinkie's ideas, granted they WERE un-suitable for a wedding, Cadance would have politely corrected Pinkie about the needs of the situation, I'm going to conclude the log here, End of Log." Twilight finished, the log was saved and named, she made her way to town to meet with the rest of the Mane 6 at a cafe-style place. Teleporting close to her destination and walking the rest of the way, she found the other 5 enjoying their drinks, ordering some strong liquor, Twilight say down. "So, I know what none of you are probably thinking, Cadance is a complete and utter bitch now." Twilight started, the rest of the ponies comically did spit-takes, luckily back into their own glasses, Spike spoke first. "Who, me?" he imitated a female voice, poorly, holding a Cadance figurine. "Spike, that goes on the cake." Applejack said, taking the figurine. "Ahem, Cadance? Being a bitch? We were on that point." Twilight got the conversation back on track. "How so?" the rest of the group asked, Twilight growled in frustration, and the feeling of the grape vodka going down her throat. "Because, Applejack, did you know that after she said she 'love love loved' your apple tarts, she threw them in the trash?" Twilight started. "She was probably just trying to spare mah feelin's," AJ brushed it off. "Or she was stark-faced LYING. Rarity, what about with your dresses, she was so demanding." Twilight continued. "She has every right to be, it's her WEDDING, after all." Rarity dismissed the notion. "Or she was being BITCHY and GREEDY, wanting every little thing to be exactly how she wants it, where's Shining Armor's opinion in this? Huh?" Twilight was almost ranting at this point. "She did yell at one of birds during the rehearsal of the song." Fluttershy added. "SEE? Bitchy." Twilight crossed her forelegs in frustration. "Are ya sure yer not makin' a big deal'a nothin'?" Applejack proposed. "Come ON! Somepony had to have noticed how she's been acting. Rainbow Dash?" Twilight was faltering now. "Sorry Twi, I've been working on reducing my time on the Sonic Rainboom to notice the bride's bad attitude." Dash said, flexing her wings. "Ugh, COME ON." Twilight's rage was burning. "Ah'm not sure, but maybe yer bein' just a little bit possessive of your brother, to the point of tryin' to make Cadance look like a bad pony?" AJ proposed. "She does have a point, darling." Rarity took AJ's side, the rest of the mane 6 agreed "Well, y'know what I think about Applejack's point?" Twilight dared a response. "What's that?" the orange farmer challenged. Twilight's rage ignited, she did the only thing that was logical at this point. "THAT'S WHAT I THINK OF YOUR FUCKING POINT!" Twilight shouted, teleporting away to find Shining Armor. "Let's just let her cool her nerves." Rarity directed, levitating the table and un-flipping it. Twilight's anger was probably an acute bout of frustration anyways. <> Omega was in a fancy room, 1 of 4 in the Class 4 General's tower, he laid face up on the bed, Scootaloo curled up on his hoodie and shirt clad chest, they were sleeping. <> Twilight ran inside Armor Manor, a house Shining had bought with his substantial active military paycheck, the decor was mostly shields, the stallion's favored symbol. Twilight paid no mind to the decor as she found the owner of the house looking at himself in a mirror. "Hey Twilight, check it out, your big bro's lookin' pretty nice, huh?" Shining greeted, he looked at her, she was sad. "What's wrong?" he asked, brotherly mindset kicking in. "Listen, it's about Cadance, I'm not sure about-" she was cut off. "Shiny, I need to talk to you." Cadance piped in. "Speak of the deviless and she'll come galloping." Twilight grumbled. "I better go see what she wants." Shining assured, following his wife-to-be into a side room. Twilight, using her Black Operation skills, snuck over and listened in on the conversation. "I thought I told you I didn't want you to wear that red jacket thing, it looks ridiculous." Cadance complained. "Listen, Cady, this was my favorite uncle's, he was a veteran of war and he died while he was married, so I wanted to honor him by wearing the same suit he got married in." Shining gave his rebuttal. "Are you disagreeing with me?" Cadance demanded. "Well I guess I am, *groan*." Shining clutched his head in pain, he was having a migraine attack. "Oh, honey, are you having another one of your headaches?" Cadance asked, halfway between concern and rhetoricality. Shining only grunted in response, he clenched his teeth, squeezed his eyes shut, gripped his head to ease the pain. "Don't worry, I'll fix you up." Cadance offered, she fired a beam of toxic green energy into Shining's horn, his visage calmed, he lifted his head back up, his eyes spun for a few seconds. "All better?" the pink alicorn asked in a cutesy tone. The blue maned stallion only nodded, his face blank, his eyes spinning. Twilight was shocked. "She's not just a complete bitch, she's evil, Celestia-damnit she's EVIL!" Twilight said in anger, she had activated her log filter, which made her voice not come out of her mouth, but into her head. She galloped away as fast as she could, which was very fast given her added level of fitness. She needed to formulate a plan, and find Omega, where was he? <> Twi, Omega, and Scoots teleported back to the HQ early in the morning, Scootaloo was curled up on Twilight's back, the lavender mare felt a connection with the little filly, Dash still refused to believe Scootaloo could fly, but after seeing her, Twilight knew that Scootaloo could probably out-fly Dash while the spectral-maned mare wasn't in armor. Omega was quckly working on an upgrade for Twilight's armor, adding all of the ability enhancements, strength, dexterity, agility, and vision, making the suit cover most of her body in a nano-fiber protective weave, which could block any damage of magical attack, instead, just like Omega's Power armor, it would either deflect or absorb magic. The physical protection was upped as well, it was too tough for her to be crushed by a boulder, or be sliced by a katana, a proper one of the latter could easily cut through several bones in one swing. Her visor was replaced with more mechanized glasses, with thicker frames and more powerful lenses. The upgrade was complete, tested, and synced, the pair and sleeping filly teleported back to Canterlot, prepared for the incoming shitstorm. <> Appearing back in Canterlot, Omega and Twilight made their way to the wedding rehearsal, speeding ahead, Omega entered first, luckily the rest of the Mane 6 hadn't entered yet, so Celestia, Cadance, and Shining paid him any mind. "Alright, time for the rehearsal." Celestia said suddenly, the Mane 6 entered, minus Twi. "Okay girls, just like that, no need to rush, just walk to the steps and take your place." Celestia directed, the 5 mares reached the altar and got into position. "Right, then the flower filly will come through." Celestia continued, Scootaloo came bouncing up to the altar, a basket with a metal weight in it in place of petals. "Then Cadance will enter." Celestia went on, Cadance walked up to the altar, slow and calm. "Okay, then I'll say a few words, you 2 will say the 'I do's and then the best mare will present the rings." Celestia instructed, it was at that point that nothing happened, everypony looked to the spot where Twilight should have been, but the spot was empty. "Where is she?" Shining querried, nopony present knew. Suddenly, one of the hall's doors was slammed open. "I'M HERE!" Twilight shouted, her armor was on. "What is she doing?" Shining asked his wife-to-be "I don't know, let's just try to ignore her." Cadance brushed off, her voice still had it's irate tone. "YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME!" Twilight yelled, her visage was tainted by anger and desperation. "Twilight, calm down, come up to the altar, and present the rings." Celestia commanded, her tone was agitated. "I'M NOT GOING TO STAND NEXT TO HER!" Twilight yelled, pointing a hoof to Cadance "AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU!" she was still yelling, Omega had moved to a position where he could get to Twilight's side in less than a second. "Why?" Shining questioned. "Because, SHE'S EVIL!" Twilight proclaimed, pointing a judging hoof at the pink alicorn. "How so?" the other 5 of the Mane 6 skepticised. "BECAUSE," Twilight started, taking a step back and getting into a more stable stance. "SHE HASN'T BEEN ACTING ANYTHING LIKE SHE SHOULD BE ACTING, I KNOW HOW SHE IS, or WAS, EVEN IN THE MOST STRESSFUL TIMES SHE WAS ALWAYS NICE, POLITE. BUT NOW? EVEN THE MOST BASIC SENTENCE IS SAID WITH AN IRATE TONE!" Twilight observed. "NOT ONLY THAT, BUT SHE'S OBVIOUSLY DONE SOMETHING TO HER OLD BRIDESMAIDS, THEY MAY HAVE LEFT AFTER GETTING THE AXE, BUT THEIR MAGICAL BIO-ENERGY READINGS ARE GONE, SOMEPONY'S MAGICAL BIO-ENERGY DOESN'T STOP UNTIL THAT SOMEPONY IS DEAD!" Twilight continued. "AND, EVEN BARRING ALL PREVIOUS STATEMENTS, HER MAGIC IS GREEN, TOXIC GREEN, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BABY BLUE, 'CAUSE Y'KNOW, ALICORN OF LOVE, MAGICAL ENERGY DOESN'T JUST CHANGE COLOR!" Twilight was full blown screaming at this point. "EVEN THEN, EVEN IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO CHANGE COLOR, SHE CAST A SPELL ON MY BROTHER THAT MADE HIS EYES GO ALL!" she stopped for a moment to do the spinning eyes thing. "SHE'S EVIL!" Twilight concluded. "Twilight," Shining started "Cadance had been really irate all day yesterday because she DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF YOUR FRIENDS!" it was the stallion's turn to rant. "She was really pissed off because not only was her HOOF-PICKED STAFF was COMPLETELY CANNED for Celestia's choice candidates, but with me being so damn busy with guard and shield duty, she's had to make ALL of the WEDDING DECISIONS BY HERSELF, so SORRY IF SHE SOUNDED PISSED OFF, BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY WAS!" the blue maned stallion shouted. "And on the point of the old bridesmaids, SHE FIRED THEM because she found out that they were ONLY IN IT to meet Canterlot Royalty, and the bio-energy isn't gone, bio-energy is a single point, not a beacon, you obviously haven't been looking in the right place!" the stallion was a much quieter yeller than his lavender sister, whom was now firing up her magic. "Her magic is green because she has, as stated before, been PISSED OFF, and when unicorns and alicorns GET PISSED OFF, THEIR MAGIC CHANGES COLOR!" Shining himself was pissed off, looking to the ceiling in exasperation, Twilight brought forth the Grudge rifle. "AND THE REASON, why my EYES went ALL," he paused to do the eye spinning thing "IS BECAUSE THAT'S an AFTER-EFFECT of POWERFUL HEALING MAGIC!" he stopped for a second to grip his head in pain, Twilight took aim. "I NEED it because I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REALIZE THIS, BUT KEEPING A HUGE-ASS SHIELD around ALL of CANTERLOT CITY IS REALLY FUCKIN' HARD TO DO!" the rasp his voice usually held was gone, replaced by anger. It was at that point the white stallion looked at Twilight again, and so did Omega, she was so pissed off at this point that the only way she felt she could do to express the way she felt was with actions, she had the Grudge rifle out, aimed directly at Cadance, she focused her magic into the clip, Omega reacted. "Twilight NO!" Omega shouted, tackling his marefriend, the shot was fired off despite. It missed Cadance by a long shot, Twilight attempted to bounce it back and hit her, but missed her again, she hit Celestia, who had ducked her head to get away from the bolt, the 5 bounces to try to hit Cadance ended up frying off Celestia's wings, the tall white princess collapsed in pain, her wings were completely severed, leaving only a pair of large nubs. Omega got off of Twi to yell at her about discipline, when Twi saw what her off-target shots had done. "PRINCESS CELESTIA!" Twilight said, she began galloping to her wounded mentor's side, when she was blown back by a powerful wave of magic, she wasn't hurt, just knocked back. "Stay away from me." Celestia commanded, her voice was raspy from the pain, the searing plasma bolt had not only severed her wings, but cauterized the wounds shut and burned them, her wings would be separated from her body forever, and she knew this. "Celestia, I wasn't trying to hurt you, it was collateral damage." Twilight tried to salvage some amount of positivity, but was failing miserably. "Where the hell did you get A WEAPON OF DESTRUCTION LIKE THAT?!" Shining demanded, holding his almost killed wife-to-be close to him. "I, I, I got it from Omega!" Twilight tried to displace the blame. "You gave that thing to her?" Shining was livid with anger, he turned to the red haired man, only to find that he had equipped the Ballistic Nightmares and had them aimed at him. "Yeah? What about it?" Omega challenged. "Why would you give Twilight a WEAPON OF DESTRUCTION? WHERE DID YOU EVEN GET SOMETHING LIKE THAT?" Shining demanded to know. "Listen, it's science, and, being science, I would explain every single detail and step put into it, but I'm not going to, I'm going to talk to Twilight, all of you need to leave and don't come back until I'm finished." Omega instructed, Shining Armor teleported himself and Cadance to someplace else. "Come on, Omie, you KNOW Twilight is in the wrong for this." Pinkie complained. "I know she is, but not assessing the problem and fixing it will only make it worse." Omega explained calmly. "Yer not assessin' tha problem, yer defendin' her!" Applejack accused. "I'm doing both!" Omega was getting pissed off at the mares. "You're only defending her because she's your RUT-BUDDY!" Rainbow Dash, always one to bring up the worst thing at the wrong time. "What?" Celestia asked, shocked. "How did you know about me and Twilight being together?" Omega interrogated. "DUH, because she told us!" Dash proclaimed. "This, this is so left field for me, I don't really know what to feel about it." Celestia said, getting back on her hooves, spikes of pain from her burned wing wounds assaulting her body. "That changes NOTHING, I thought I disciplined you 5 to BE BETTER THAN THIS, BETTER THAN TO IGNORE A PROBLEM AND LOCK IT AWAY!" Omega rebuked. The 5 mares left in a huff, shunning Twilight as the trotted past "I'm going to go get some meds, Twilight, while it may have been an accident, you're still in a LOT of trouble, I'll send some guards to arrest you both." Celestia said simply. "But, I-" Twi faltered. "But nothing, and to make sure this point is clear, you can FORGET about continuing to be MY PERSONAL STUDENT." Celestia finished. Twi broke down, she had been repeating in her head 'As long as I'm still okay with Celestia, even if I accidently took her wings off, if I'm still somewhat okay with her, I can find a way to fix this.' Now, though, there was no hope, Twilight trotted over to the stairs and collapsed, crying profusely, Omega went to her side and held her close. "That was, wow." Scootaloo, who was still there, spoke suddenly. "I know sis, come over here." Omega directed, his voice soft, the little orange filly trotted over to her brother. Omega and Scootaloo held Twi close and tight, the lavender mare's tears began to slow, she sniffled, guards showed up to send her to the dungeon, one look from Omega made them leave, Celestia might banish them, but they could still make it good at where they were banished to, but Omega would kill them, and do so in the most painful way possible. Twi's tears had stopped, she sniffled, Omega ran a hand through her mane, Twi shivered, not from coldness, but from the calming sensation, she stood, ready to leave and go... where ever, Omega stood with her, his younger sibling decided to run ahead, Twi and Omega walked together, they took several steps to the door before something happened. The trio heard the sound of hooves on carpet, they looked back to see Cadance standing on the altar, looking at them silently. "I thought you left." Omega started. "I did, I teleported back." Cadance answered, her voice was much more malicious sounding. "Cadance, I'm sorry." Twilight apoligized. 'Cadance' flared up her toxic green magic. "You will be." she stated, venom pouring from her words. Green fire surrounded the pair, Omega tried to get through it, but it held strong, Twi tried to disrupt it, but it stayed stable. 'This is it,' Omega thought 'This is where my presence and influence in Equestria lands me in hell' <> Turning on their night vision, Twilight and Omega found themselves in a cave of crystals. "Okay, let's just blast our way out." Omega proposed, summoning the Gatrev. "No, we need to find a way out of here." Twilight insisted. "These crystals are blocking our magic, we can't teleport, so we need to destroy them, if they're destroyed, they're not in the way, and if they're not in the way, we can teleport out of here. "I doubt you can break these crystals with that sulfur smelling metal tonfa." Cadance's face came up on the face of a crystal. "You have no idea what a gun or a firearm is, do you?" Omega asked sarcastically. "I'm unfamiliar with the terms." Cadance answered, sounding like a temptress. "And that's how it's gonna stay." Omega saw through her ruse, she was trying to get information out of him. "Ugh, fine, whatever, I doubt it can do much, maybe you can set it on fire, I don't care, the point is, you're trapped, nopony can find you, and that's assuming they're looking for you." Cadance teased. Omega summoned the Ring Leader, his Element of Harmony looking necklace, he fired a destructive beam of energy at all of the crystals, Cadance's face merely reappeared on a different one each time. Twilight joined in, blasting the crystals as well, suddenly, a full sized Cadance appeared on a wall, they combined their blasts and obliterated the entire wall. Behind it was a room, with Cadance in there, she looked dirty, scratched up, and beaten. Twilight tackled her. "I'm not going to miss this time." the lavender mare said, putting the muzzle of the Grudge to Cadance's head. "Don't hurt me, I'm the REAL Cadance." the dirty pink alicorn pleaded "Go on." Twilight commanded, "The Cadance that imprisoned you here is a fake, I'm the real one, she imprisoned me too." the battered mare continued, desperation in her voice. "Likely story." Twilight said threateningly. The dirty alicorn got up and did the dance. "Sunshine sunshine, ladybugs awake." she sang "Clap your hooves." Twilight continued. "And do a little shake." Cadance finished, shaking her flank at the lavender mare. "Did you two really do that, not only just now, but in the past, just wiggled your asses at eachother?" Omega was skeptical, the implications of the act were both innuendous, and hilarious. "It might have not been the best dance." Cadance said sheepishly, Twilight gave her boyfriend a playful slap. "Come on, it's not like you don't enjoy it." Twilight teased. "Really Twily? You're going to bring that up now? And here?" Omega said, embarassed "Wait, are you 2..." Cadance trailed off. "Yes, and to answer the question I know your about to ask, yes we did." Omega answered. "Wow, I mean, I'm happy that you found love Twi, it's just, this is a big change, you've grown up into a fine mare." Cadance praised. "Yeah, I have." Twi blushed at the compliment. "We can exchange fully detailed stories of our sex-lives AFTER we get out of here, kick that fake Cadance's ass, and get you and Shining married." Omega got the trio back on track. "Right, let's get out of here." Twi agreed. The trio used their magic to teleport topside, the crystals that were blocking their way being gone, Omega made sure to make note of this place, these crystals could be useful for something. <> Reappearing in the streets of Canterlot, the trio found all of the guards looking up, they looked up as well. Thousands of bug-like creatures were slamming their bodies into the forcefield, the trio ran as fast as they could after Omega broke out some rations, they were all hungry. Reaching the castle, Omega flipped off the guards, who had moved aside to let them through, just for fun. Making their way through the halls, hellbent on reaching the ceremony building, the trio met little resistance, all of the guards were slack-jawed and staring at the swarm above. They reached a fork in the road, Omega went left, the mares went right. "Omega!" Twilight shouted, the man was still sprinting. "GO, stop the wedding, I've got to get something." Omega commanded, his voice getting farther and farther away. "CATCH UP WITH US OKAY?" Twilight shouted to him. "OKAY!" Omega shouted in answer, his voice far away now. The mare kept running to the ceremony building, Twilight, mere seconds from colliding with the doors, teleported said doors off of their hinges and off to the side. Skidding to a halt, the pair had effectively stopped the wedding in it's tracks. "What is the meaning of this, TWILIGHT SPARKLE, I sent guards to ARREST YOU." Celestia shouted. "Celestia CALM YOUR TITS BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE IMPORTANT MATTERS AT HOOF!" Twilight yelled in defiance. Celestia was shocked silent, everypony else gasped in shock, someone had just commanded the princess to do something, furthermore, the princess was COMPLYING with them. "Listen, the Cadance you've been tending to is a fake!" the real Cadance revealed, everypony gasped again, looking between the dirty Cadance and the clean one. "She imprisoned me in the caves below Canterlot and took my place, she's copying me because SHE'S A CHANGELING, a bug-like creature that can mimic somepony and feed off of your love for them." Cadance explained. "Well, you've fucked up, deary." the fake Cadance stated simply, summoning a heaven-piercing pillar of energy, she shed her disguise to reveal the fact that she was not Cadance, but Queen Chrysalis, every single one of my viewers were expecting that, it's not that hard to figure out, and I'm not going to go through all that effort for nothing. Chrysalis laughed evilly. <> Omega sprinted through the halls and passageways, summoning the Speed suit, he opted to just blast out a window and fly to his destination. Bursting through the dark, moon engraved door, Omega found Luna asleep. *BOOM MOTHERFUCKER* The grenade of the Shockwave exploded on the ceiling, Luna was immediately up. "What is the meaning of this?" she demanded to know, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Emergency, ceremony building, NOW." Omega summarized. "Ah, Omega, how nice to see you." Luna greeted after regained her eyesight. "It's nice to see you as well, Luna, now then, there's an emergency, changelings are about to invade Canterlot, and their queen has been posing as Princess Cadance this whole time." Omega explained. "I see, are the other Class 4 Generals aware?" Luna asked, getting out of bed, she began putting on her regalia. "I think so, all of the guards are just staring at the changeling swarm." Omega guessed. "Uh huh, are your weapons ready?" she querried, putting on her purple tinted silver shoes. "Yes, and a few have been added." Omega answered. "Right, so is anypony else aware?" Luna questioned calmly, levitating her black tiara onto her head. At that moment, a heaven-piercing pillar of energy blasted out of the roof of the ceremony building. "I think it's safe to say that everypony is aware." Omega answered, giving a chuckle despite the circumstances. "Heh, I'd say so too." Luna agreed, giving a giggle, putting on her black necklace. "Alright, we need to go now, also a missed shot that was an attempt at revealing the queen and also kill the queen ended up taking Celestia's wings off, and they won't ever heal." Omega insisted, Luna flared her wings. "That's sad I guess, though Tia never really used her wings except for a minor convenience, speaking of which, can you fly?" Luna querried. "Heh, anytime." Omega said confidently, summoning his Speed suit, he had updated it, the visor's eyes were yellow, and the reflex boost was upped a bit. The pair flew to the ceremony hall at breakneck speed. <> Queen Chrysalis laughed evilly. "It's really funny, Twilight is the only one who suspected anything of my plan, and NOPONY BELIEVED HER!, HA HA HA." Chrysalis laughed again. "Not so fast." Celestia announced. "Huh?" Chrysalis stood again. "Since you're so big of a dumbass to reveal yourself RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEDDING. I'm going to do my duty of protecting my subject, from YOU." Celestia shouted, firing off a beam of anger-color-changed fiery yellow magic, Chrysalis countered with he own toxic green beam, Celestia was at full power, the pain was gone from some ultra-heavy-duty pain medication she took, even her anger enhanced magic was weak against Chrysalis's energy. Celestia was defeated, her wings severed to never heal again, now the tip of the horn was scorched. "HA, Shining Armor's love for Cadance is even stronger than I thought, I've become even more powerful than Celestia." Chrysalis bragged. Cadance tried to sneak attack Chrysalis, but the bug queen slapped her across the face, the edges of the holes in her legs cutting her cheek. Cadance stopped trying after that, Twilight didn't give up, firing bolt after bolt, Chrysalis deflecting each one, even the bounced shots. The rest of the Mane 6 joined Twilight, throwing everything they had at the changeling queen, nothing worked. "Get, the *cough* Elements of Harmony, GO!" Celestia gathered her strength to instruct the mares The 6 mares shed their bridesmaids' dresses and ran out the door, Chrysalis didn't give chase, her changling swarm would do that for her. Throwing themselves against the ever-weakening forcefield, the changeling swarm finally broke through, the forcefield shattered like glass, the swarm attacked. The 6 members of the New Bolverk Squad summoned their vertebral armor, and fought their way through to Harmony Hall, the building dedicated to protecting the Elements of Harmony from evil. Try as they might, the 6 fighters couldn't make it, they fought through the army, made it to the door, but a major flaw showed it's ugly face "How do we open it?" Twi and Dash asked rhetorically, the fight has lasted almost an hour, every 1 changeling they killed, 10 more took its place, they were exhausted. The insectoid creatures swarmed them, they were taken captive and moved back to the ceremony building Meanwhile, Omega and Luna were in their own fight. <> Omega and Luna reached the ceremony building in time to see Celestia with her flank kicked and horn scorched, Chrysalis looked smugly out of the window, luckily not the one that they were looking in through, the Mane 6 were gone, the pair saw that the fighters were taking on the army of changelings. "So, Luna, do you know any fighting magic?" Omega asked. "As a matter of fact, I do." Luna answered. "Good, get ready for the swarm." Omega instructed. The pair descended upon the army of insectoids, bringing death with them. Omega summoned the Pownder and began sprinting, shooting down a couple hundred changelings in less than a minute, Luna was using her magic to blast changlings left and right, she and Omega split up to cover more ground. Using everything in his arsenal to kill more and more, the neon green blood would stained his Speed armor in all manners of splatter patterns, using a simple air blast system to clean it off, Omega made his way back to the ceremony building. Entering loudly, Queen Chrysalic turned to find Omega standing there, Archangel's Smite in his hands "So you have a fancy shiny scythe? No matter, it will do nothing to me." Chrysalis proclaimed. "We have Jovi." Omega announced, using his voice alteration device to change his usual voice into that of a male singer. "I don't get it?" Chrysalis was confused at the randow outburst. Omega summoned the Power armor, took aim, and fired a special round, he began. "SHOT THROUGH THE HEART, AND YOUR TO BLAME, darlin' YOU GIVE LO~OOOVE, A BAD NAME!" he sang. Chrysalis had a new hole, right through the chest, if she was any thinner, she would have been blasted in half. "AAAAAAAAHHHH!" she squealed in pain, clutching the area that used to be her chest, it bled profusely. Omega cauterized the wound with the Zeus's Spear, Chrysalis seized up, twitched, and fell, face on the ground. She shakily stood, and fired a huge wave of energy at Omega, he tried to dodge it with the Speed suit, but he was too late, it was a direct hit. He fell to the ground, he used his improbable aiming skills and fired the Long-Way-To-Die at Chrysalis, a few moments later, standing again, he grasped the Longinus Knife that came forth, the blade was black, the grip was toxic green. Charging forward, Red Death turned to power level 3 in his other hand, Omega struck, Chrysalis countered, Shining Armor's love for Cadance was still fueling her power, she was struck with her Longinus. Nothing happened, as a side effect of the magic that allows Changelings to transform, their DNA also changes randomly about 1000 times a second, thus, the Longinus was useless, so Omega chopped one of Queen Chrysalis's legs off. Screaming in pain and launching the man back with the bleeding appendage, Chrysalis healed in a few seconds, the love energy still strong. Omega was exhausted, the Speed suit was not a wonder weapon, his bio-energy was running low, he used most of his tech-energy reserves to fabricate some adrenaline, taking it and using his magic-well energy to recharge the tech-energy battery, he rose, his weapons were practically useless, he broke part of the wall and threw it at Chrysalis, it bounced off of her sheld. "Really? The high class warrior reduced to breaking the environment to make a weapon?" Chrysalis taunted, she blasted Omega with a knock-out ray. However, the stone hit Shining Armor in the temple, knocking the stallion out as well, Chrysalis's infinite energy source was shut down. Omega was on the ground, he rose slowly, he had a notification. Upgrade complete for; Weapon: Judgement Blade. He smiled and stood tall, Chrysalis stared at him in amazement, he should have been in a coma! The Power armor was equipped, Omega stood there, waiting for Chrysalis to make a move, suddenly, she charged up her magic. "OMEGA!" he heard Twilight shout, he turned in time to see the Mane 6 get blasted, Twilight, despite being at the head of the pack, was hit the least She was knocked to the ground, dazed, the others were unconscious. Omega was teleported to Chrysalis's side, her hole-yness changed into him, grabbed him, and spun him and herself around and around. Omega wasn't sure why. <> Twilight saw the 2 Omega's, one of them was her lover, the other was Chrysalis, but despite her best efforts, she couldn't tell the 2 apart, at least physically. "Alright, listen up, I'm going to ask you a couple of questions, see which one of you is the real Omega." Twilight announced, the pair looked at her "Okay." the 2 Omega's said, they looked at eachother, the real Omega knew that if he tried to strike, Twilight would think that he's actually Chrysalis, and blast him. "Question 1: tell me something that only the real Omega would know." Twilight interrogated. "Your rifle is called the Grudge." the real Omega answered. "You like it when you're on top." the fake Omega answered. Twilight was at a crossroad, both answers WERE something that only the real Omega would know. "Question 2: how many clothes does Omega have?" Twilight was trying her best. "13, 9 shirts and 4 over-tops." they both answered, though one of them was guessing. "Correct. Question 3." Twilight stopped talking, she levitated Scootaloo over, took the filly's hoof that held the Destroyer Eagle, and put the barrel against her head, the small pegasus relieved herself in fear. One of the Omega's aimed the Ballistic Nightmare gun at Twilight's head. "DON'T DO IT!" the other one shouted. "Wrong answer." Twilight convicted the Omega that spoke, blasting him with a mixture of anti-transformation magic and attack magic. The one she hit fell to the ground, the disguise disintegrated, leaving Chrysalis there. "How did you know that I was me?" Omega asked, . "I know you well enough to know that even if it was me, if somepony threatened your little sister's safety, you would threaten them right back." Twilight revealed, setting Scootaloo down, the little filly jumped onto her big brother's armored chest, holding him for safety. "Don't worry Scootaloo, your bro's here, I'm not going to let anything hurt you." Omega comforted his crying sister. Scootaloo sniffled, wiped away her tears, and went to check on the other 5 mares who were still unconscious. Chrysalis rose again. "You are quite the persistent one." she said with venom. Before Omega could react, Chrysalis blasted the group with another wave of magic, Omega summoned his Power armor to block it, but Twilight and Scootaloo got hit full force, he heard a pair of screams that were almost immediately silenced. He turned to see his lover and his sibling on the ground, they were laying there unconscious, they were okay, at least, but then, the straw that broke the camel's back. The 2 were bleeding from their heads. Omega turned to Chrysalis, who was laughing now. She stopped when she saw him, he stalked towards her menacingly slow, she tried to blast him, his bright red magic, enhanced by rage, was now blood red, he blocked the entire blast with a large wall of magical shielding. He brought forth the only weapon more powerful than the Judgement Blade, it was the Judgement Blade................s. After Discord's fuck-up, Omega took the DNA of his clone, which contained another Judgement Blade, so now he had two of them. TWO JUDGEMENT BLADES HOLY LUNA-DAMN FUCKING SHIT THIS IS SO EPIC AND THEY'VE BEEN UPGRADED TO HAVE AN EXPLOSIVE ENERGY BOLT SECONDARY FIRE! Dual wielding the 1 foot wide, 10 foot long swords of diamond-shattering physical strength and building shattering explosive strength, Omega simply crushed Chrysalis with both blades and blew up the remains. His hair was flowing with the energy, he dismissed the weapons of mass destruction, and the energy flow stopped, he dismissed the Power armor and fell to the ground, unconscious from exhaustion. <> Omega woke to find himself floating, he looked over and found Xero watching him. "Hey, are you awake now?" the blue clad man asked, like Omega, he was wearing a jacket, though his was dark blue rather than dark red, his shirt was black with a lightish-grey circle in the middle, it was grAy for Omega because he was from America, it was greEy for Xero because he was from England. "Yeah, why are we here again?" Omega asked, they were both floating in the space. "I don't know man, but it's great to see you, how've you been?" Xero asked, just like with their first unconsciousness-induced conversation, the younger man was a lot more civil and noticeably more polite. "Great, you?" Omega answered "I've been great too, so, let me guess, killed Chrysalis with dual Judgement Blades?" Xero hit the nail on the head with that guess. "How'd you know?" Omega answered. "Hey man, I was infected too, I just died much later, I have dual Judgement Blades as well, though mine have blue lights where as I guess yours have red." Xero was correct again. "Yeah man, so, we seem to be at the same point in the show, I guess the only question is...." Omega trailed off. "Will it stay that way by the time we get our next conversation." Xero piped in. "Yeah, I hope it does, if either of us are ahead, even by 1 sentence, the lasting changes could be massive, possibly paradoxing." Omega extrapolated. "Right, well, did you meet the other Class 4 Generals?" Xero asked. "Yeah, Thorn Forge the earth pony, Blue Comet the pegasus, and Shanka Grim the unicorn, why?" Omega asked. "Funny, for me it's Aran Braveheart the earth pony, Mogar Ragom the pegasus, and Derek Ganter the unicorn, odd names for ponies, but whatever." Xero replied. Omega felt a soothing sensation. "Hold on, I think I'm being healed." Omega announced. "Yeah, me too." Xero responded. "I guess this is goodbye again." Omega said. "Right, goodbye." Xero said back to him They were both gone. <> Omega opened his eyes, after confirming how his body was positioned, he rose, he was met with Luna's face. "You've proven yourself again, my friend." the princess of the night praised. "Yeah, I have, where are we?" Omega asked. "Do not worry, I moved you, Twilight, and your little sister Scootaloo to my room to recover." Luna explained. Omega looked around, he found Twilight snoozing peacefully beside him, he looked up to find Scootaloo asleep on a cloud that had been brought in. "Thank you, so much." Omega said in gratitude. "It was no problem, Omega." Luna dismissed. Omega hugged her, Luna was shocked still, but soon returned the hug. "Is the wedding over?" Omega querried. "Yes, Shining Armor and my niece Cadance are happily married, after you fell unconscious, the 2 combined their power to banish away the normal changelings, after that, some repairs, and replanning the wedding, they were bonded and have now left, that was yesterday." Luna revealed. "I see, good for them," Omega congratulated "though, one thing Luna." he began. "What is it?" the midnight blue alicorn querried. "You see, after the missed shot that Celestia took that severed her wings, well, Twilight took the shot, she was trying to expose Queen Chrysalis as a fake, but she didn't get the chance, well, Celestia kinda, got mad about that, even though it was an accident, Twilight feels really bad about it, even more so because Celestia disowned her as her personal student, I've already disciplined Twilight about using violence to prove a point, and she had probably the greatest magical potential of anypony in all of Equestria, so, I was wondering, since Princess Celestia gave her the axe, well, I was hoping, because you're also a princess, if you could..." he trailed off, the words did not present themselves to him. "Say no more, my friend, I would love to take Twilight as my personal student, I think she could learn a lot more under me than with Tia, anyways." Luna accepted. "Thank you, this means a lot to me, and even more to her, I just, thank you." Omega was relieved, he looked at his marefriend, she would be a bit startled at the change, but she would get used to it, she liked Luna, just as much as Omega did, and Luna liked her, just as much as Omega did, though of course not in the same exact way, but the point was that they got along just fine and would get along better with time. He looked at each of the mares present, first to the princess, who was for some reason wearing socks all of a sudden Then to his marefriend, who was still sound asleep and was now cuddling a pillow And lastly to his dear little sister, who was sound asleep on a cloud He felt something, something that, along with many other things, he had never felt before coming to Equestria. He felt complete. 'Now how long until someone tries to fuck it up?' the morbid thought ran through his head, he rose to his feet, his stomach growled, Luna giggled, it was one of those things that isn't really funny at all, yet people always laugh at them. "Come, let's go have some breakfast, I'll have the servants bring some to your sister and my student." Luna offered, trotting to the door and opening it. "Heh heh, alright, I'm so hungry I could eat somepony." Omega chuckled at the butchering of an old joke. Luna looked at him in a mixture of confusion and disgust. "It was just a joke, it means I'm really fuckin' hungry." Omega explained, walking out the open door. "Oh, heh, I get it." Luna giggled, the pair exchanged jokes all the way to the dining hall. Opening the doors engraved with a picture of a pony's body, the man and the princess took their seats at the table, Celestia was at the head, grumpily eating a plate of fancy whatever, Luna sat to her right, Omega sat to her left. "Omega, that seat is reserved for royal students only-" Celestia was interrupted. "It's fine Celly, no royal students are present." Blue Comet spoke up, gliding into the dining hall, he still wore his helmet, but his body armor was missing, his white coat and blue mane and tail with red highlights were clean and a little bit shiny, his sniper crossbow was still slung on his back. "Yes, he's doing no harm." Thorn Forge added, same situation, helmet present, body armor absent, though his heavy shoes were still on, his pale grayish-brown coat and almost-black-it-was-so-dark brown mane and tail were also clean and somewhat shiny. "Even if he was doing harm, it would be to our enemies, not us." Shanka Grim finished the statement, same shit, different label, helmet yay, body armor nay, dust gray coat and pitch black mane and tail were clean and shiny. The 3 stallions took their spots at the table, and chatted amongst themselves. Other than the rowdy chatter of the 3 Class 4 generals, and the hushed conversation of nobles, breakfast went on peacefully and quietly. <> Twilight woke up slowly, egged on by the sensation on a small hoof poking her, she opened an eye to see Scootaloo standing there on the bed, she was wearing her little violet hoodie again, but more importantly she was poking Twilight's cheek with a hoof. "Hey, Twi, come on, there are some guards here with breakfast. it smells awesome, come eat." Scootaloo egged on, Twilight rose, looking around. "Are we in Luna's room?" she asked, yawning to get the air flowing and rubbing her eyes of the sleep. "Yeah!, and bro hooked you up, he messaged saying that, hold on." Scootaloo started, putting a hoof to her ear and accessing her cybernetic mind. Twilight heard the telltale tune of getting a message, she checked it. From Omega>To Scoots :3> Fwd. Twilight>: Omega here, since Celly's being a bitch and disowned Twi as her student, I put a good word in to Luna, and she's agreed to take Twi in as her own student, so she can continue her royally catalysted studies, My Lady and Milady will be hangin' out, tell Twi for me, 'kay Scoots? Twilight stayed still for a moment, processing the message, she gaped. "I'm going to be studying under Luna?" the lavender mare's voice was filled with disbelief "Yeah, her majestic highness. it's gonna be AWESOME!" Scootaloo had dismounted the bed and went over to check out the breakfast that the 2 departed guards had set out. "This, this is a big change, I'm not sure if I'm ready to move from one princess to another." Twilight was beginning to worry, she got out of the large, extravagant dark blue bed and began pacing. "I mean, I love Princess Luna, she's a very likeable pony, but I just got the axe from her sister, besides that, I'm not sure how studying under Luna will work, I mean, is it gonna be liberal? Strict? Is she going to make tests for everything? No tests? How will I message her? What about the magic of friendship? Is she going to teach me dark arts? I mean, it would make sense, but I'm just not sure." Twilight was beginning to hypervenilate. "Twilight, calm your tits, just let whatever is gonna happen, happen, and remember what bro always says, be prepared for anything, but look like your prepared for nothing, because then life will let its guard down, and then you can kick life's ass." Scootaloo philosophized, punching one of her forehooves to the other before taking another bite of the fancy food. "*sigh* Y'know what, Scoots, your right, I should just go with the flow." Twilight said, significantly calmer, she sat down in front of the small table the 2 servants had set up. Throughout the morning meal, Twilight and Scootaloo grew closer. <> The 6 mares, 1 dragon, 1 man, and 1 filly were on the train heading back to Ponyville, they were having idle conversation to pass the time, it would be another day or 2 before they fully recovered from the events of the wedding, all they could do was wait. One question dominated their thoughts throughout the train-ride. What will happen next? Only time would tell.
