At Rad, Celestine is waiting for the Shield Princesses to return from Connor's training in the study. The study was as large as the living room, equipped with its own fireplace with a pair of swords that hung over it, several bookshelves filled with various kinds of books, a large black desk, along with some woodcut chairs and a table. Finally, an ornate sword was placed on the window still behind.
"It has been quite a long time for Connor, hasn't he?" said Celestine, and next to her is a younger man and had a more intelligent look to him. He wore blue and evergreen tunic and baggy pants underneath his purple cloak, which had the Black Dogs emblem on his collar. His brown hair was more well-kept, and his calculating green eyes were hidden behind black glasses. This man was Kin.
"Yes, with roughly five hours and an amount of studying. He can be quite the warrior," said Kin.
"Though I hope he can hardly do anything with a lack of heroics." she frowned.
The doors opened to reveal the Shield Princesses and Connor, who is wearing armor.
Connor is now wearing gray armor, with gray gauntlets on his wrists and legs, with a sword strapped to a belt.
"My, you look handsome today." Celestine smiled, and Connor bowed to her.
"Thank you, your majesty," said Connor.
"Yesh, Connor is a fast learner, after all." Vault smiled.
"Claudia, would you kindly hand me that sword?" Celestine pointed to the sword that was behind the desk. Claudia, while a little confused about the request, complied with the request and went around the desk and took the sword to Celestine, who received and held it with the utmost care.
"What I am about to do now is normally done in a more formal setting, but given that time is of the essence, it must be done here. Connor, would you kindly kneel down before me?" She looked at Connor with the utmost seriousness in her eyes. Connor looked at his friends before complying with Lady Celestine's request.
"Your loyalty to your home and people is exemplary, and you have proven yourself on the training grounds several times over. Most recently, your actions have prevented one loss of the people who lived there. Connor Nickell, I shall now ask you the most important questions al squires such as yourself answer. Are you ready?" Celestine said as she shifted the sword to her right hand. Connor looked at his friends and took in their reactions carefully.
Vault smirked, while the others were smiling, and Alicia as tears were leaking out of her eyes. Claudia, on the other hand, held both of her hands over her mouth and nose, the look in her eyes were said that she was about ready to cry at any moment not out of sadness but of the immense amount of happiness that she was desperately fighting back. Connor knew the questions were, and he had been preparing himself for this very moment.
"I am Lady Celestine." Connor looked up at her, ready for what would happen next. Celestine nodded and looked down into his eyes.
"Do you, Connor Nickell, swear to fight for your fellow men, regardless of who they are and where they come from?" said Celestine.
"I do."
"Do you swear to fight for justice? To protect the rights of all and to ensure that even criminals are given the justice that they are due."
"I do."
"Finally, do you swear to fight against any and all evil and tyranny that threatens this world that we live in, regardless of where it comes from and what shape it takes?"
"I do," said Connor as she lightly cut her left thumb with the edge of the sword before placing it on Connor's forehead and forming a cross on it. A small light appeared in her hand when she was done when it disappeared; her thumb was back to normal as if the cut was never there.
"Then by the right of the council of the church, and by my will as a goddess, I dub you Sir Nickell," Celestine said as she placed the sword over Connor's right shoulder, to his left, and back to his right. Connor stood up and was hugged by the princesses for becoming a knight.
"Now that, that's settled. We need to find a way to defeat Origa," said Vault.
In the sky, a man was riding a Monsterous Nightmare. He wore nothing but a green vest on the upper part of his body, blue pants, and had twin daggers on his left and right. He had light brown hair and wore the emblem of the Black Dogs on an armband on his left arm. He was notably older and appeared to be more physically trained. This man was Hicks.
The dragon landed in the throne room and collapsed in exhaustion from dodging a few arrows, and Hicks got off the dragon. The Alliance checked the commotion and saw Hicks, who is out of breath.
"Hicks!" Vault said. "What happened?" he asked, but before he could answer. Luu Luu grabbed him from collapsing.
"Boss," Hicks spoked. "It's Origa, she's on the move," he explained.
"To where?" Alicia questioned, and Hicks is using much of his strength to warn them.
"To another world, filled with horseless carriages, magic boxes, and talking toys," he explained.
It puzzled the princesses, but as for Connor, he knows exactly where Origa is going.
"Guys. I know where she's going, she's heading to my home." Connor said, and the Alliance was shocked to hear this. Is Origa really gonna conquer another world?
"You're world?!" said Luu Luu, as she dropped Hicks.
"Hicks!" Vault cried.
"Why, in the name of Nadders, would Origa come to your world?" Maia questioned in confusion, so did Connor and the Alliance.
"But the spell Origa used is for the most powerful, of all the sorcerors," said Prim.
"I know of a spell that could," said Kin as he took out his spellbook. He flipped through the pages and found one page and recite the incantation, and there, a portal is opened. "This portal will lead you straight, to Connor's home dimension," he explained.
"Please, Sir Connor, accept." Celestine stood there, waiting for Connor's response.
"Please don't push yourself, Lady Celestine, if anyone should be bowing here it should be me for hearing that you have so much faith in my abilities. As for your request, it would be my utmost honor to do so." Connor tried to sound as humble about it as possible.
"Thank you, Sir Connor. The Alliance will accompany you, so will Vault, Grave, and Beardsley," said Celestine as she walked over to Connor. As she did so, she reached into the part of her robe that appeared to barely hold her F cup breasts. She pulled out a small, clear crystal and handed it to Connor. "That crystal shall allow us to communicate with each other over a long distance. Please be careful with it; they are extremely difficult to make," she said.
And so, the Alliance went through the portal to the other world that is... Connor's home.
The Shield Princesses and others came out of the portal and made it to Connor's home dimension.
"Well." Beardsley spoked. "It looks like, your home, Connor," he said. Which, Connor smiled.
"Yeah, I really am?" said Connor.
"Guys, look at this." Luu Luu called. The Alliance checked on Luu Luu, and to their surprise, their one mile from Canterlot High.
"Connor, ain't that the school you participate during, the Friendship Games?" Maia asked as she leaned next to a tree.
"That's right, and what do you want us to look at Luu Luu," Connor questioned.
"Because I just saw a statue of you through the window." Luu Luu explained, and this confused Connor. Why would CHS make a statue of him, if he came from Crystal Prep?
"Wait. If I came from a rival school, why would they make a statue of me?" he asked.
"Maybe it's because you saved a girl from certain death," Vault exclaimed.
"So. If this school thinks I'm dead, I got to lay low." Connor replied. "Good thing I brought my helmet with me," he said as he put the helmet on.
"And there's one clue we haven't found. Why would Origa, come to Connor's world?" Grave mentioned.
"I don't know, but we're gonna find out." So the Alliance decided to make camp in the woods, so they can find a way, to find Origa and stop her.
