In Equestria…
Assembling the Canterlot guards just fifteen minutes away from the desert town of Dodge City.
Twilight Sparkle and her friends just received word that a band of UN soldiers were on their way towards the town. She and the others were sent to try and talk to this squad that there had been a misunderstanding. That Blueblood/Sombra fed them false information and that the humans who live in Equestria are safe.
The Canterlot guards hid by the road, waiting for the convoy to come to them.
While waiting, Twilight held in her hands the book she uses to communicate with Sunset and other girls on Earth.
"You heard anything?" Twilight looked up to see it was Starlight Glimmer.
Twilight nodded, flipped the book open to reveal a recent writing. "Yeah, Rachel's awake and is currently talking to the Leader of the Resistance. The baby's okay too."
"Oh good. Glad she's okay," Starlight said before looking down from the rock they were on, seeing Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie interacting with the guard, trying to boost morale. "So, the portal, it's really closed?"
"Yeah it is. It's bad because now without a link to the Human Central of Command, soldiers and innocents are virtually stuck with no way of trying to communicate with the Leaders of Earth." Twilight said with a frown.
"I'd suggest the Mirror Portal to help but that would mean the human government shutting down Canterlot High." Starlight sighed, rubbing her face. "But at least it means they won't storm all at once. Could use that to try and talk to the leaders."
"The princesses are thinking about that. I'd help but she sent us out here."
"With so many fallen towns, you think we can talk these guys down?"
"Each squad is different. It's a chance we have."
"Unless the portal now close, some of these guys will turn rogue."
Twilight frowned. "Let's hope that is not the case."
"They're here! They're here!" One of the guards announced as a rumbling sound echoed and coming from the distance was dirt and sand being kicked about.
Armored trucks and tanks that the humans brought in piece by piece and reassembled when they entered Equis.
"Let's move it guys!" Dash shouted as everyone got in positions. Getting in front of the oncoming convoy.
Most of the Guard has not seen humans nor their technology, only holding swords and shields and other forms of weapons not used in the human modern era.
"Unicorns at the ready!" The leader of the Guard, Captain Mace Action, an earth green pony with turquoise short mane and tail. The unicorns, along with Starlight and Twilight had their horns glowing.
The convoy was quickly coming their way.
When they came to a certain spot, Mace shouted. "Shield Wall!"
A combined effort of the magic users erupted shields that spanned across a mile on either side of the road depending on their magic levels. With Starlight and Twilight having the highest level of magic.
The convoy soon came to a halt with the first truck parked thirty feet from the shields.
There was an eerie silence, not knowing what was about to happen.
Appearing out of smoke, King Sombra appeared over a rocky cliff nearby. He watched the scene below with a sinister smile.
Everyone began getting out of the vehicles and approached the wall. One of them, being a male dressed in camo and beige, having a full beard and short curly hair.
The unicorns felt unease that around this guy's neck beside a set of dogtags, were colorful horns that were pierced together that were clearly pieces of broken unicorn horns.
Twilight looked to her friends before she and the others approached the male.
"My name's Twilight Sparkle, The Princesse of Friendship. My friends and I acquire a word from you." Twilight announced. Trying not to look at the broken horns.
The male grunted. "What do you want, your highness? " he asked with sarcasm.
"What you guys are doing is a mistake. You can't continue your mission." Twilight explained.
"You guys were tricked by some rich ass hat." Rainbow Dash spoke. "We're dealing with him but you guys have stop invading us."
There was a sudden uproar of laughter coming from the human soldiers. "Are these horses joking? " one of them laughed.
"It's true. You guys are being manipulated. We can show you," Fluttershy said. "You're doing more damage than good for your kind, let's not fight."
"I'm sorry but we have orders to follow," he said. The Guard and the girls saw that the soldiers were pulling out their weapons.
"You don't have to follow them now, the Portal is closed." Starlight said. "You're only harming Innocents, is that what your leaders want?"
"The Portal isn't closed," one of the soldiers snorted.
"It is, try calling your chain of command. " Twilight suggested.
There was a moment before one of the Soldiers made the call. Talking to the Settlement through their coms. The look on their face when they asked and got their answers.
"Lieutenant Hunt, they're right. The Portal is gone from the Settlement." They said.
It caused a disturbance within the squad of men. Including the one called Hunt.
A few made the same call just to be sure if it was true. It was real.
The Portal to Earth was closed, gone, they were all stuck.
"I know this is tough to hear, but sadly it's true." Pinkie Pie said. "But don't worry, we can help you guys."
"You didn't have to act too excited for that." Fluttershy mumbled.
"What my friend was saying, if you give us a moment, we can explain everything. The Princesses want to help, please." Twilight said, stepping forward.
Sombra feels the fear coming off of the humans was delicious.
He gazed below at them, looking for the weakest minds in the whole group. Both armies are just ripe for the pickings.
He spot ones with larger weapons, a rocket launcher of sorts.
"Perfect," he let out a satisfied hissed before he slipped to his shadow form and began making his way down.
Sombra took form of that one soldier's shadow. Eyes opened before they began to glow, the whites around his eyes became green with purple misting.
The soldier stiffened up, making grunting sounds before their eyes glowed the same as Sombra's.
Whispers echoed in his mind, fear reaching a tipping point. The launcher's hands trembled before aiming from the tank and squeezed the trigger.
The rocket shot out, flying above the girls and crashed into the shield. The object exploded, knocking some of the unicorns and fellow Guards to the ground.
"Charge!" The pony captain shouted before the rest of them charged at the humans.
Twilight and her friends tried to stop them but it was too late.
The humans retaliated and began firing rounds.
Sombra used his fear magic to react to both soldiers on both sides for added measure before sitting back and watching his chaos unfold.
Relishing the look on the once called Elements of Harmony, especially seeing one of them go down by a bullet.
Back in Earth
Rachel held Dot's hand as Helen led them to the large tent.
"I may know some Draconic, but I haven't remembered enough like you and Malik. Not many of us went to Equestria or spent time in the Temple. " Helen said as they came to the entrance.
"You never went to either? How did you know you were Mordi?" Rachel asked as they stopped.
Helen sighed, "Legit, I was in an accident. The gas line in my old apartment exploded, got caught in the blast and hit my head pretty good. So much so I was in a coma for five months. Devolved into my subconscious mind until I came across the soul of my ancestor. We talked, I changed, scared the crap out of the doctors and woke up. Next following week, I started the Resistance."
"Not enough to learn the whole language? "
"To be honest, she didn't know much either. The woman had just started to learn the dragon language, and had just received her powers. Not many of us have the powers of the Queen herself." Helen then opened the flap of the tent and ushered them in.
They walked down the little hallway before emerging the other side.
Inside of the large tent were hundreds of the once cursed generation. They were on the ground, some looked in a state of shock, kept mostly to themselves.
Nothing like how they were when they were cursed.
"So, your highness, you know how to bring all of them to Equestria?" Helen asked.
The staff hummed as well, however Rachel was dumbfounded.
How was she going to bring all of them to Equestria without jeopardizing the Mirror portal?
One of the crowded Mordi looked up, seeing their new Queen and gasped.
"It's Cursebreaker!" They announced then another called out before they all on their knees and bowed.
"Uh… okay that's now a thing." Rachel gulped.
Dot let go of Rachel's hand and ran to join the others and bowed as well.
Okay Ember here sounds good right about now!
Hours later, Rachel was back in the tent she woke up in. The gurney bed was replaced with a cot and her own desk and paperwork. She leaned against the desk while looking at the documents, seeing faces and what details of the Old Mordi.
"If it's not one thing, it's another." Rachel muttered, holding open one folder and rubbing her stomach with her freed hand. "Can't believe I fucking froze, what's wrong with me… "
"You're just not used to the leadership role yet."
Rachel looked up to find Sunset Shimmer. "Request to enter?" She smirked.
Rachel rolled her eyes before setting the papers down, having Sunset entering.
"Is it that obvious?" Rachel asked before sighing. "I'm not the leadership type. I usually just do my thing."
Sunset nodded. "Some leaders are born, and some leaders are made. I know that you never thought your life would get to this point."
"Dude, I never thought about the future, I go with the flow. It'll take me a bit to readjust but I'll deal with it." Rachel said, patting her stomach. She then began to chuckle softly. "You know, Spike told me he won the Gauntlet. Was acting Dragonlord for five seconds before he gave it to Ember. Not really realizing that he still ruled, but behind the scenes. Ember ruled but Spike was still there. In passing he had called me his Queen… my dumbass didn't even register it because I was too focused on him proposing."
Sunset held a hand up to get her to pause before digging in her pants pockets and pulled out Rachel's engagement ring and chain. "Elizabeth asked me to pass this to you."
Rachel gazed at the ring longly, remembering that moment before taking the ring back and putting it back around her neck. "Thanks. Where's the others and Spike?"
"Cassandra and the others are with Shaun. He showed up with his plane a half an hour ago." Sunset said before leaning against the desk next to her.
Rachel watched her before asking, "Okay, how much of my life have you seen? Seriously?"
Sunset gave her a sheepish grin."Besides you and Spike's universal mating moments, I know you have a half brother."
Rachel closed her eyes, picturing the blonde hair blue eyed little boy. "I don't even know his name."
"Desmond. Desmond Lockhart." Rachel opened to look at Sunset with widened eyes. "I've seen moments of him and his mother Penelope when I touched Damian." Sunset explained. "He never found them after he got hit by Desmond."
Rachel nodded. "That's good… A relief really."
Sunset studied her before sighing. "You want to find them, do you?"
Rachel shrugged. "I would be lying if I said no. They have the right to know that they don't have to hide anymore… however I was told to not come back." She knocked on the surface of the desk. "Besides, I have a shit ton to do before I even return home. Making sure Ember and the other dragons don't freak out that I'm bringing the Mordi with me, having them react to their new physical bodies after crossing the Mirror Portal after just getting out of a curse. I have so many things to take care of, with war and finding my idiot mate on top of housing a living tiny creature inside of my body. I don't have time."
"You need a small break before being thrown into being a ruler and leader." Sunset said, reached out and touched her shoulder. "Rome wasn't built in a day. It might be good, finding those two. Get you in a better mind set."
Rachel pressed her lips together and hummed.
"Maybe you can find a solution to how to get everyone to Canterlot that doesn't require sedation of all those guys crammed inside of Shaun's shitty plane." Sunset chuckled.
"I need to get used to using wings anyway." Rachel giggled. "I'm not going on that plane."
The giggled died before she sighed. "You sure it's okay I go?"
Sunset nodded. "They are your family. Yes you have a family in Equestria, but if you don't do this while you can before you get too caught up and leave for home, it'll eat you alive. The girls and I can brainstorm ideas about how to move the Mordi."
Rachel nodded before making plans. The following day she told Malik and Helen that she was going to be absent for a couple of days, of course there was a blow up with the Resistance Leader but she couldn't stop the Queen from doing this.
She ordered the two to hold down the fort, using her new magic, essentially practice on using it to locate her mate, she locates her ex-stepmother and her half brother and leaves to find them.
